Chapter 72: God of Night Tours

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Streaming so early today!”

“What does the title mean? Hahaha, it flows pretty well!”

“Why are you wandering around outside when you should be drawing?!”

“Motherf*cker aren’t you an art streamer? When did you become an outdoor streamer?”

“Night Tour of XiZi Lake? Meng boss it’s not good to be swimming in XiZi lake at this hour, is it?”

Meng Fan’s stream channel had rocketed his views up to 80,000, with over 20,000 total online viewers. On 8th station, and in the unpopular drawing category, he could count as a relatively big shot host. After he logged in, if his popularity rating did not meet the likes of a few other gods, he could basically enter the top three.”

Not long after he went live, his online viewers had reached 1000. And the live comments began to thicken.

“What is this guy up to?”

Zhang Zhou Wei had painstakingly escaped from Wang Ya Nan’s claws. He didn’t have to rot away in the library tonight. He had snuck back to the dorm to play video games when he received a notification from Meng Fan’s live stream.

He saw the title and then, the stream content.

The path outside the campus?

There was a map with a GPS pointer in the upper left corner of the stream and a line representing the planned route. The goal was XiZi lake. He then looked at the stream which was moving forward.

“He’s running to XiZi lake?”

Zhang Zhou Wei tapped Xing Ta Ge, who had actually been working hard on his storyboards. “Meng Fatty is unstoppable damn, he’s streaming his run to XiZi lake! From our campus to there is about twenty to thirty kilometers!”

“Why are you causing a fuss, if he could run ten kilometers in a mini-marathon, twenty to thirty kilometers shouldn’t be a problem.” It was rare to see Xing Ta Ge so serious. It did not feel good to be interrupted so he turned to Zhang Zhou Wei in a heavy tone, “Look how hard Meng fatty is working, Da Qiang is at his tutoring job and I’m working so diligently on my storyboard. Can’t you work a bit harder? All you know is video games! The three of us work so hard, it’s just you who’s underachieving. Don’t you think you’re ruining the atmosphere of our dormitory?”

“???”

Zhang Zhou Wei dumbfoundedly stared at Xing Ta Ge. He had been going to the library at least once a day, yet Xing Ta Ge had the nerve to call him a slacker. He was so angry he could spit blood!

“Yes yes yes, I’m just a sh*t disturber!”

How can the king of brazen mouths admit loss so easily?

Xing Ta Ge pretended he heard nothing and continued to write his storyboard. There was no way he would follow up Zhang Zhou Wei’s comeback.

He had been writing for about twenty minutes before he began his slow stretching exercises. After that, he wrote for another five minutes before taking a three-minute break.

It hadn’t even been half an hour when a phone call came and Xing Ta Ge paused for a second before heading out.

It was best to couple work and rest; he had worked and he had rested. All he needed was the ‘couple’.

…

After leaving the campus, Meng Fan ran along his planned route towards XiZi lake. Because of the road conditions, it was hard to pace himself. He tried to keep it between 7 minutes and 10 seconds, to seven minutes and 30 seconds per kilometer. It wasn’t fast, as he wanted the fickle netizens to appreciate the scenery along the way.

He specifically selected the pedestrian path next to the road so that the fickle friends in the stream channel could see the pretty girls that passed by.

Undoubtedly, along the entire path leaving the campus, the probability was high that he would run into girls who were above 6 in appearance; above 7 in disposition and dressed above an 8.

Of course, there were handsome guys as well.

Hit on them?

Not a chance.

But if he ran into someone whose appearance, disposition, and style all exceeded an 8; Meng Fan would still approach them and ask for directions.

The city was so big and the roads were so complex. It’s common to ask for directions!

For a tourist city, asking the whereabouts of the XiZi lake and how to run there… Should seem normal!

Of course, as over 20,000 people tuned in to his stream, he had to radiate positive energy indefinitely. So on the entire run, he made sure to remind every boy and girl who had their heads buried in their phones.

Someone whose presence was as big as Meng Fan was running towards you, yet you’re still on your phone? How careless can you be?! And to be so focused on your phone while walking on the street, they had to be notified!

It’s a pity however that in the end, it did not trigger some ‘kind pedestrian’ accomplishment task.

Thinking about it, it was already so hard to trigger a ‘courageous stranger’ task. Meng Fan understood and continued to despise the morals of the system.

He had ran to Tai Zi Wan park, which was 12 kilometers along his route. It took him an hour and a half, so his pacing was not fast. After he arrived, he did not need to eat an energy chew before his regular breathing resumed.

After stretching, Meng Fan removed the stream assistant from his chest and held it with his hand, continuing the broadcast. He faked the motion of taking out his phone and checking the stream interface. Emotional, he began to speak. “Twenty-six thousand viewers, you guys must… really love this city’s night view.”

At this time, the sun had already set and the sky was getting darker. The lights in the scenic spot began to flicker on and with the evening breeze, Meng Fan was comfortably content.

Of course, the premise of his comfort was the sportswear Meng Fan had spent 50 points exchanging from the [Travelling Deity] equipment bar. If it hadn’t been the tracksuit absorbing his sweat; air drying it out and maintaining his body’s thermal temperature, then he wouldn’t be able to indulge after running this far and sweating so much. Not to mention, the wind.

He walked up along the park. Although it was late and the tourist season wasn’t for another few days, there were still a large amount of tourists present.

As Meng Fan walked, he held the stream assistant in one hand and his phone in the other, chatting with the fickle netizens. If he runs into a pretty girl or handsome boy and asked for directions, he would be quite comfortable as well.

He was about 1000 meters out when he said to the fickle netizens, “The following content might cause some discomfort, please understand.”

He then left the Yang Gon Ti and turned left towards the XiZi lake international hotel’s 8th building—the Zi Wei hall. This was a restaurant specializing in Hang region cuisine and a spot for the G20 state banquet.

Seeing the restaurant’s name, then the environment after Meng Fan entered, they could see the classic Chinese wooden structure; gentle and simple, with dynamic textures. Both sides were enclosed by a panoramic floor to ceiling windows, looking out into the courtyard that mirrored the lake. This exclusive and private view of the lake was a night scene like amber, glimmering on the water….

“This content has caused extreme discomfort and has been reported!”

“Meng Host, I’m begging you to be kind”

“You’re a f*cking drawing stream. I can tolerate you streaming your runs, but you’re streaming food now?!”

“I’m leaving!”

All the live comments formed a crusade against Meng Fan.

Meng Fan sat down after being led to his reserved spot. A sweet waitress with a sweet voice brought a pot of tea.

He pointed the stream assistant towards the view outside the floor to ceiling windows. The stunning scenery calmed the moods of the fickle friends in his stream channel… That is until the first dish was brought up.

What was even more irritating was that Meng Fan had set the stream assistant to the side, fully filming the entirety of the dishes, as well as himself eating it.

But the most infuriating factor was Meng Fan introducing these dishes, even eating them to demonstrate while exaggerating the deliciousness of the meal and showing off his appetite.

“The first dish is the Tiger Spring’s pine mushroom rice. This is a must. The biggest feature is its fragrance. It smells so good, almost pungently good! If I mix it like this, it smells even better! Now, look at this pot sticker, because it tastes superb. If you can’t finish a whole pot, you have to take the pot stickers to go and snack on it on the way out.”

“The second dish is a vinegar marinated fish. Usually, vinegar fish dishes can easily carry the smell of dirt, but this is different. Look, the fish meat is very tender and the simmered juice is just right. Yes, first class!”

“I usually don’t drink alcohol, nor do I eat raw food, but this bayberry drunken shrimp is extraordinary!”

…

An hour later, Meng Fan pleasantly strolled out of the restaurant and continued north. After taking his fickle netizens to see the ‘XiZi Hu impressions’ performance across the Yue temple, he felt like he’d compensated the netizens who had been cursing him to fail at losing weight.

“Ding!”

Just as he was engaging in the performance, an alert sounded in Meng Fan’s mind.

“Ding! You’ve triggered the accomplishment task [Night Touring God].”

Meng Fan went dumb.

Metaphysics was enough, but now hallucinations?

He took another look. “Heh. This kind of night touring god!”
