Chapter 214: After The Concert

Meng fan curiously searched for the article on his phone to no avail. He then switched to the live stream assistant and continued to search.
He knew to add the related words like CLG, basketball, Meng Fan, world record, etc, but most of the news he could find were only from Hangzhou or Zhejiang news outlets, most of them being from Weibo or other social platforms.
Weibo was a large platform, but it was still local, no matter how many reports there were. He exhausted all the media reports from the local news.
Found it!
“Sports News” was to be broadcasted on CCTV 5 at 18:00 sharp had reported on Meng Fan at about seven minutes in. The content of the report was regarding Meng Fan making six shots and breaking six world records. The focus of the report was on Meng Fan, so the details of the tournament had come second.
When a competition breaks six world records, channel 5 was not going to let go of such news, even if arcade basketball had such a small audience.
The time of the report was also doubled compared to last time on “Fast Sports”, where it aired a 15-second clip of arcade basketball shooting, which was considered rare.
Of course, the competition was exciting to watch. Rapid speed shooting, plus each ball scored!
“Maybe tomorrow mornings, “Fast Sports” news will broadcast it again.”
Meng Fan felt that it was very likely he’d be reported on by this show, for the channel had mentioned they would pay attention to the follow-up matches and even cheer for Meng Fan. Now that he was also a six-time world record breaker, Meng Fan had handed them quality reporting content on a silver platter. Presumably, they were happy to report it.
He didn’t expect he’d be mentioned in “Sports News” that evening.
If they could mention him again the next day, then that would be ideal. It would live up to Meng Fan’s six-time world record holder since his whole purpose was to create a ruckus for these large media outlets to report on him to complete task phase 2 of [News Figure].
“Huh?”
After finishing his duet with Su Qing Cen and going backstage, Meng Fan saw another +1 points in [News Figure] task phase 2 in addition to his +25 lethality!
“Huh? What’s going on?!”
Meng Fan used his live stream assistant to perform a search and was genuinely surprised. It wasn’t channel 5 that was reporting, but CCTV 3, the news channel, that had broadcasted a program at 20:00 pm. The program covered a variety of news, including sports, but it did not cover many categories. He didn’t think the CGL tournament could make it onto this show!
Was this the result of +1 luck? Or because breaking six world records was a newsworthy feat, even if the sport was very niche?
Meng Fan could not make sense of this.
Overall, he was already very satisfied to be reported on by two national-level TV agencies.
The rewards for the achievement task [News Figure] were very lucrative. Counting the rewards from all three tasks, plus the attributes that came with the title, he’d gain validation +16, charm +16.
Task phase 1 had been very easy to complete, but task phases 2 and 3 would be much harder since they required national and internationally renowned media agencies to report on him. This task wasn’t impossible, but it would be very difficult and would take very long.
So when Meng Fan completed task phase 1, he had harbored a go with the flow attitude towards the second phase, not even thinking about task phase 3.
If he can’t complete a task and receive the title in a short period of time, it wasn’t likely Meng Fan was going to be very dedicated towards completing that task, since it was hard to find a reason to be.
Hence, he was happy with what he got at the moment and did not dare ask for more.
Did he long for the charm attribute?
He did, but this task was too hard!
The concert ended at 11:00 and could be said to have gone very successfully. The quality of the concert was much better than the first as well.
“Whew —”
Once backstage, Su Qing Cen let out a long sigh, then flopped down on the couch. Her face was riddled with the happiness and excitement from their successful performance, but she was completely burnt out.
The staff had come in to help Su Qing Cen undress… But they stopped immediately after reaching out their hands. Meng Fan was still here!
Seeing this, Meng Fan hurried outside.
“Thanks for your hard work Meng Boss!”
At the door, Meng Fan ran into Su Qing Cen’s manager, Hu Yi Jing. Smiling, she continued, “You rest for now, but you have to come to the celebration party later.”
After Meng Fan left, he gave Zhang Zhou Wei a call to ask where they were. As soon as they left the stadium, Zhang Zhou Wei and the others had made plans to go to karaoke.
Did he not sing enough during all those sing-alongs?
“Are you coming?”
“Alright, I’ll be there right away.”
Meng Fan had originally called them to go back together. Last time at Bai Zhi’s celebration dinner, everyone had been drinking alcohol too fervently. This time, Su Qing Cen’s drinking habit would probably be even worse, since there were more people.
Although he had heard about the 11/11 gala during a celebration dinner, it wasn’t likely he’d hear the information he wanted every time. If there was any news, he must have heard it already in the last couple of events.
When Zhang Zhou Wei said they were going to karaoke, Meng Fan felt it would be much more fun than getting drunk at the celebration dinner. Before, he had bothered them endlessly to complete the [Mic Hog] task, so he had no reason to refuse.
In ten minutes, the hoard of people had curtly cleared their way to a KTV nearby. They booked a large private room that was big enough for 20 people to sit without feeling squished.
Although everyone was happy to let Meng Fan hog the mic this time, Meng Fan only sang the “opening song”, “Leaving the earth’s surface” and setting the mood before handing the mic off to someone else.
Shortly after this, Meng Fan felt he should just compliantly be a mic hog; otherwise, he would get stupidly drunk. Everyone had been eyeing Meng Fan to drink, even the “servant” girls who usually protected Meng Fan were taking turns downing shots. Pao and his female friends were even more brutal. Meng Fan had experienced this before, and was careful to engage in “war with them”, but he could only hide for so long before they came looking for him!
During the process, Meng Fan received a call from Hu Yi Jing. He told her truthfully that he’d gone off to KTV with some friends who had come to see the concert.
Time went by fast as they were talking, laughing, joking, drinking, and the clock ringing 1:00 am, seemingly fast in no time. At around 1:30 am, at least five people out of the group of 20 were drunk.
“Let’s go let’s go!”
After singing the last song, the group left the KTV draped over one another.
“Huh?”
Meng Fan felt the wind and suddenly was awake. He told Da Fei and the others to take a cab first, then asked his remaining classmates, “Where are you guys going?”
They weren’t getting into the school at this hour!
Zhang Zhou Wei who was way too drunk to function and slung over Wang Ya Nan in a hazy state screamed his response without opening his squinted eyes, “I’m a good baby, I want to go back to school!”
