Chapter 158: Don’t Let the Iron Bro Slip Off Again

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The task [News Figure] had three subtasks. These subtasks did not have to be completed in any order, as long as he was reported in a local, national, and international media platform, the corresponding subtask would increase in experience.

Sub task 2 had gained +1 points, which surely meant that a national media agency had published a report about Meng Fan.

Meng Fan really did not expect this!

Which national media agency?

Meng Fan was curious. He put down the work at hand and used the stream assistant to search it up.

If it was published via newspaper, it wouldn’t have been at this hour; he would have obtained the point before eight in the morning.

Therefore, Meng Fan thought it was probably published on a TV channel, on the news category or the sports category… After a quick search, he found the 10:00 am report from the CCTV news channel. He then locked onto the “Sports News” program on CCTV 5.

Right now, “Sports News” was still airing, so he connected the smart TV, picked the channel, and rewound to the beginning of the program.

“Next, let’s look at some recent news.”

The third down the list of recent news was the one!

“In the Hangzhou stop of the CGL basketball tournament yesterday, Meng Fan, a third-year student at the Hua Xia Academy of Fine Arts cast a score of 840 in the final round, breaking the world record for the seven ball basketball shooting machines! This was the first time Meng Fan had participated in the CGL competition. Next, he will participate in the Zhejiang provincial finals and the national finals. We wish Meng Fan the best in achieving even better results.”

In addition to the oral broadcast, the news also included a video of Meng Fan shooting and a photo of him. Of course, the time was short. After all, even if the CGL basketball tournament was in its championship match, it would not always be broadcasted on CCTV 5. This report happened mostly because he broke the world record.

Short was okay though, no matter how short, it counted as a report!

After confirming the source of this experience, he couldn’t help but wonder if there would be some more reports if he broke another record during the provincial finals.

With this, he couldn’t help but praise himself for not continuing in the remaining two seconds after he’d broken the record.

Was it because he wanted to flex at the time?

Heh. Either way, it was a great foresight!

Around 12 o clock, mostly due to the midday news, and the TV stations in Zhejiang and Hangzhou, the last three points of experience for [News Figure] task were effortlessly filled up. Mostly it was because someone from their own area broke a world record, so it had to be reported.

“Ding! You’ve been reported on by a local news agency 10 times. You’ve completed subtask 1 of [News Figure]. Reward: points +100, validation +1, charm +1.”

The points and validation did not attract Meng Fan. The key point here definitely was the +1 charm.

After completing the [Famous Streamer] task, he had gained +1 charm. Now, he received another point. In 24 hours, he’d gained +2 charm… Time to look in the mirror!

Meng Fan felt great about himself. This time after looking in the mirror, he felt the added charm changed him a lot. As for where specifically, he couldn’t put a pin on it.

Not only him, but people on the spectator side during the tournament that afternoon felt this iron hero was easier on the eyes than he was before. They couldn’t help but look at him more. Only most of them already knew he had broken a world record. Looking at a record-breaker, they couldn’t help but see him through a filter!

“Meng fatty is a badass!”

“Iron senior is the best!”

“Wow today’s seniors are all so handsome, it’s like they are walking with the wind!”

“Is it him? The one that broke the record? Didn’t you say he was fat? Why does he not look that fat? On the contrary, he looks so buff, and makes me feel safe.”

Meng Fan followed the basketball team to the courts. There were more people than usual on the stands today, one to see the quarterfinal, two, some of these players were too strange.

In the past, there had been legends of the Iron master and were all curious as to what Meng Fan looked like. This time he broke the world record, and they would all come to see. It was already hard enough to see a record-breaker in real time, and this time in their own schools too. How could they not go?

There had been several spectators before Meng Fan even arrived, and they had brought two banners along too. One of them was the one they used during the sports meet “your elder will always be your elder!”, and a newly added, “Congratulations to the Iron hero on his new world record”.

These guys weren’t here to watch the match, this was a f*cking fan meet!

“All these people are up to no good.” Meng Fan chuckled and said to senior Ah Ning, “This must be so awkward for you guys!”

“It’s not awkward for us, it’s way worse for the industrial design department’s team.” Senior Ah Ning thought about it and continued, “How about we all put on girls’ clothes and cheer you on.”

When the redheaded youth and the other team members heard this, they all backed up and said, “Bro, if you want to crossdress go ahead, don’t drag us into it! No no no… It’s best if you don’t dress up as a girl, it’s too distracting!”

“Warm up, warm up.”

Senior Ah Ning leads the team into the court, looked at the time, and took turns slapping everyone’s asses as they went to warm up. Afterward, he only said two words to Meng Fan as their game plan, “Go wild and score.”

Of course, Meng Fan wanted to go wild, but the students from the industrial design department wouldn’t let him. It was lightweight to have two towering units guarding him, sometimes there were even three.

Of course, this was because they had thought the animation department’s players were all average excluding Meng Fan. Even if there were three people left, they thought they could defend against four others.

Not to mention, as long as they blocked Meng Fan from making a shot, they already took the lead by ten points in the first half.

Only, they could prevent him from scoring normally, but it was impossible to prevent him from scoring completely. In the first half, Meng Fan only scored three points, but by the second half, he single-handedly sunk 27 points. At this point, the industrial design department’s team had no hope left.

This scene continued into the finals the next day. They effortlessly defeated the sculpture department’s team from the faculty of art history. They were powerless upon meeting the animation department.

The entire animation department was not strong, but no matter what, they couldn’t prevent Meng Fan’s scoring. If you forced yourself onto him, it would be a foul, and the iron brother wouldn’t miss a penalty shot. If you don’t foul him though, then it was impossible to predict where Meng Fan would take his next shot from.

It wasn’t the first time Meng Fan had scored from half court. What could you do? It was demoralizing!

Just purely focus on attack?

Even then you can’t catch up to his constant three-pointers. If you want to score three points and accidentally miss, the rebound still belongs to Meng Fan!

The animation department ended up taking the school’s basketball championship. Nobody felt this was surprising or strange, because all the surprise and suspicion were focused on Meng Fan’s record-breaking accomplishment.

He already broke a world record, so what’s strange about him bringing a team to take down an average level team, it would be strange if he didn’t win!

“You guys keep an eye on him!”

When the match ended, senior Ah Ning did not begin to celebrate before ordering everyone, “Don’t let the iron bro slip off again! Tonight’s celebration we will feast, wash our feet get a massage and go to KTV! It’s our animation department’s honor to take the championship. As your temporary coach, I am honored and very happy. Tonight, I must dress up and celebrate for you guys!”
