My Extraordinary Achievement Chapter 116 – Before Publishing

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Finding out his mom really took two students to Dubai, Meng Fan felt nothing but respect. And also was relieved at the same time.

His mother had finally left Wu Tong’s side, which calmed his heart a little bit. If his mom really stayed a bit longer, he was worried she would expose herself or do something overboard.

Now in a good mood, Meng Fan did not continue to tour the scenic areas. He ran back to his property near the academy, took a shower and ate some melons before starting to draw.

It was 2:00 when after some tweaks, the new chapter for “Guide to Campus RoMANce” was completed.

Since serialization, Meng Fan was able to maintain his update speed because of their saved manuscripts. Today’s chapter was the sixth chapter, and because it was short, there was no plot beginning to unfold yet. Either way, the main character in the manga had started wheeling his third girl. Pulling out of the relationship after getting the girl is the main content of this book.

To be honest, this plot was average. The only thing that contained some ups and downs was that after he wheeled the second girl, the main female protagonist, he had been caught before he could run. Then, it was her who played him, quite violently as well.

He had just finished playing the third girl when the female protagonist appeared, tripping him face-first into the dirt. Then she cried and cried to the third girl about how this scum of a guy cheated on her and hurt her… She spoke of how she was afraid of the third girl falling in love with him, then said everything in her power to lower the guy’s reputation…

The focus was the male protagonist’s girl wheeling skills, and his boldness and shamelessness in wheeling other girls while being chased and beaten by the female protagonist. Basically, he did everything most guys wanted to do when it comes to approaching girls that didn’t involve breaking the law.

The script was written by Xing Ta Ge. These girl wheeling techniques were unstoppable on the premise that the guy performing them had a decent face value. As for relationship techniques… These are built and expressed through the process of pursuit.

The former has a practical operational significance, while the latter, according to Xing Ta Ge, really depended on personal understanding of the subject involved.

Once the manga was serialized, the result was pretty good. Although the plot was average, it could really count as independent goods, with a comfortable style and drawing technique that was out of this world.

Presently, the manga’s been collected over 200,000 times. Out of all the recent reviews, their manga was pretty outstanding.

They also gained about 6000 HXB worth of merit points.

Of course, two-thirds of this achievement could be traced back to his stream, for Meng Fan was still a relatively inexperienced manga artist. Even if his style and technique were good, there was no way he could have garnered so much readers in such a short time.

Opening the profile, Meng Fan sighed in relief when he didn’t see a new message from the site.

In the last few days, his messages have been constantly refreshing with new ones. Most of the content was just messages from the editor asking Meng Fan to add him on QQ and Wechat. Meng Fan could only pretend not to see.

The next day, he didn’t go to school after waking up. Instead, he ran his ten kilometers along the road and took a shower before drawing for two hours, then headed for class. The last two events for the sports meet were graciously spaced apart, with javelin beginning at ten in the morning, and the 5000-meter starting at three in the afternoon. It was also the last event of the sports meet.

After he finished, the closing ceremony would follow after, complete with all formalities.

“Meng Fan.”

Meng Fan just prepared to enter the track field when Qin Jiao approached, waving him over.

Meng Fan headed over. “Coincidentally, I have something to ask you too.”

“You go first.” said Qin Jiao.

“Does our animation department have its own publication office?” Meng Fan saw Qin Jiao nod, then continued with his thoughts. “I’ve been working on my own manga lately, and it’s currently serialized online. I was thinking since it’s my first manga, I will prepare to pay and publish it to commemorate. But how hard is it for my book number to be approved?”

Although he wasn’t planning to sell it, so he could find a printing company to publish it, Meng Fan was still unsure of the system’s standards, so he wanted to follow the regulations and play on the safe side.

If he wants to publish it, a book number was crucial. So immediately, Meng Fan had thought of Qin Jiao.

“The one on Penguin Animation Network?” Qin Jiao asked, “Is this why you won’t sign a contract with the website or even answer a phone call or a QQ message?”

Meng Fan was stunned. “How did you know?”

“The website’s editor saw your stream and discovered you were a student from our department. Coincidentally, the editor also graduated from our department, and she was my student as well, so she asked me to inquire about you regarding why you won’t sign a contract.”

“That’s too coincidental!”

Meng Fan was surprised. He could only tell her that he wanted to publish the manga for his own keepsake, and was worried that the website would bind the copyright, hence why he ignored them. As for the phone calls, he really had no idea.

“Alright, I guess I’ve done my part. I’ll tell him in a bit. As for publications, it shouldn’t be too hard to get a book number from our department’s publisher. Only… I think your manga is not bad, and it would be a shame to publish it without selling any copies.” Qin Jiao thought for a moment, then asked, “Why don’t you give me the manuscripts and I’ll apply for you. I can try and see if our partners are willing to publish this for you.”

Meng Fan had half the heart to turn her down, as he knew it would take a long time to release it if he handed them to a publishing agency. He was ecstatic to receive the rewards for [Manga artist], so he was willing to pay for it himself if it meant he could attain the rewards sooner. Only, he couldn’t tell Qin Jiao that.

He thought about it. “It should be fine, but I need it urgently because I made a bet with my netizens to publish it quickly and deliver it to them. So, if the agency is slow, I would rather just pay for it myself.”

He shifted the blame to his stream.

“The money your netizens bet costs more than publishing?” Qin Jiao chuckled as she looked at Meng Fan. “You will be arrested.”

Meng Fan was speechless. “We aren’t betting money.”

“Then what are you betting on?”

“Our anger! I’m very heartbroken right now!”

“Blocked? Like a teacher seeing Wu Tong ‘blocked’?”

Qin Jiao left him with this heart-wrenching statement and clacked away in her heels.

“Fatty, what’s wrong?”

Zhang Zhou Wei and Xing Ta Ge approached him from the direction of their dorm.

“Nothing.”

Meng Fan let out an exasperated sigh, as even people who were related to Liang Qing would get on his nerves, so he was used to it. He only hoped that Wu Tong and Liang Qing’s interactions wouldn’t continue the tradition.

“Pigeon, just in time I need to talk to you.”

Meng Fan alerted Xing Ta Ge. He was planning to publish his own copy of “Guide To Campus RoMANce”, for he was one of the authors.

“Do you have to be so stubborn?!” Xing Ta Ge paused, then said very righteously, “If professor Qin can find you a publishing platform, that would be ideal. If not, I will pay at least half of it.”

“Let’s see what professor Qin has to say first.”

The money did not matter much, so Meng Fan didn’t argue.

The most important task at hand was to finish the last four or five chapters and hand them over to Qin Jiao. Even if he had to pay it himself, they still needed to submit it for approval.

At 10 o’clock, the men’s javelin finals began. In the middle of the field, an area had been circled, indicating it was strictly forbidden to access during the competition to avoid accidental injury.

Meng Fan was the second last to go. He grasped the javelin, shook it a few times. He definitely had the skills for the initial sprint, but his posture was very inaccurate. As for how to stretch out or how to lunge, he had no idea. He ended it up by throwing it in a bow-like posture, which he already felt was not bad.

Before him, the last best score was 41 meters. Surpassing 40 meters, this result surprised Meng Fan.

Therefore, he had been very focused during his turn. His score was even better than before, reaching over 44 meters, and he exceeded this distance each round. His best score ended up being over 46 meters, successfully locking down the championship.

“Ding! Decision failed. You will receive no champion honor points.”
