“Me?”

Although Meng Fan knew his figure and his extra validation made him impossible to miss or be mistaken for, and he had thoroughly impressed the freckled girl, he still felt the need to confirm.

The petite and cute freckled girl had fear written all over her face but nodded vigorously. Then, as if she did something wrong, she whispered in a small voice to Meng Fan, “I think I lost something on the fifth-floor studio or on the stairs. Can you come with me? You don’t have to help me find it, just accompany me.”

“It’s from my grandma, so it’s very important to me.”

“The lights on the third and fourth-floor stairs are broken; the flashing is really scary.”

“And there are no more students on the fifth floor.”

The freckled girl was a bit anxious, maybe because she was too urgent, thinking her request was asking for too much. Of course, it could be that she was still afraid of Meng Fan.

Meng Fan understood.

“Are you sure the flashing lights are scarier than me?”

As he asked her, he opened his eyes wide and stared at the expression on the girl’s face.

He could tell she was hesitant, making his heart send out a signal of caution.

Of course, when he thought about it, maybe he was only scary because he was acting like this.

Well, the world wouldn’t be so malicious now, would it?

But something did seem off.

Everything else aside, this seemed a bit strange…

“Classmate, hold on.”

Meng Fan saw a boy wearing glasses walk out, probably driven out by the administrator. He jumped at the opportunity and grabbed the guy’s hand, filling him in on the girl’s dilemma after rattling off a few words. Meekly, he said to the guy, “Actually, I am very afraid of the flashing lights too… How about you come with us.”

Meng Fan gave himself a ‘like’. This way, if the girl really wanted to retaliate against him, she wouldn’t do it while the other boy was present. If she really needed the help, then it wouldn’t hinder her to bring an extra person, plus she wouldn’t have to worry about going alone with just him.

Hitting two birds with one stone.

The guy immediately recognized Meng Fan. Not only did he recognize him from the internet-famous videos, but he was also the iron giant that had stopped the thugs. While being grabbed like that by Meng Fan, it was also hard to reject.

As for Meng Fan’s fear of the flashing lights, he could only suppress a smile.

When the freckled girl heard this, she said no more. She wholeheartedly just wanted to find the purse that her grandmother had given her. Smiling at the boys, they walked up to the stairs together.

“You don’t say, people very seldom go to the fifth floor at night. Generally, the other studios would have to be full before someone goes to the fifth floor unless you’re someone who prefers a quiet space.”

Meng Fan smiled awkwardly. Hopefully, she hadn’t gone up to the fifth floor because she had been trying to avoid him because of what happened the last time.

She didn’t respond and continued searching along the stairs.

“These lights seem fine.”

The glasses guy reached the third floor, then the fourth to fifth. He didn’t see any broken lights, let alone flashing ones. He looked at Meng Fan and realized what was happening.

Buddy, this was obviously the girl’s deliberate attempt to be with you!

No wonder, how can some stupid light be that weird!

Her intentions were so obvious, did you not see it buddy?

And he f**king dragged me along!

Serves this lonely bastard right!

“I found it!”

The girl found her purse at the entrance of the fifth-floor studio, beaming as if she had struck gold. Then she proceeded to apologize to Meng Fan and the boy.

“Good thing you found it. You should head back soon.”

Meng Fan chuckled. After he discovered that the lights were not broken, he took great pride in the caution he had expressed.

He looked at the glasses guy. ‘Thank God for you.’

They walked towards the second floor.

“Huh, the lights are fixed?”

As they were heading up, the freckled girl had only thought about finding her purse, not bothering to notice the lights at all until they were going back down. Afraid that Meng Fan and the glasses boy would mistake her for pulling a cheesy move, she said to them embarrassingly, “The lights just now really were flashing.”

The glasses guy took a look at Meng Fan and sighed. He gave the girl an “I feel you” glance.

It’s not your fault you liked a guy that is so braindead.

“Maybe it was a coincidence.”

Meng Fan smiled as he spoke. Once he arrived at the ground floor, he bid his farewells and left.

“Wait, something doesn’t feel right.”

After Meng Fan had walked some distance, realizing maybe everything had just been a coincidence, and the girl wasn’t out for revenge.

No matter what, at least she found what she was looking for.

Not bad.

…

“Fatty, your phone’s ringing.”

Chen Da Qiang was pointing to his bed when Meng Fan stepped out after his shower.

Are there marketing scam calls this late?

Meng Fan walked over to take a look. WeChat video call notifications were bombarding his screen. When he saw the avatar, Meng Fan did not want to answer it. However, he was wary of the consequences if he didn’t pick up the call.

“Fan Fan.”

Before Meng Fan could even plug in his earbuds, a very pleasant female voice rang from the other end. Immediately, his three roommates turned around. They focused their eyes on the source.

“It’s my sister.”

Meng Fan didn’t want to be misunderstood, so he put on his headphones. “I’m not busy today, you have time to see me?”

“What’s wrong with you lately, you’ve become so thin!” Meng Cai Wei’s tone across the line sounded concerned. “I Saw that Tik Tok video and almost didn’t recognize you. You’re so thin that you’ve lost your features!”

Meng Fan almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Running had slimmed him down, but not that much. In the words of this charming woman, it sounded like he had shed a different skin.

Also, shouldn’t she be more curious as to why he was dancing on a city wall after watching his dancing video, rather than dwell on his weight?

His older sister was definitely poison!

…

“Here he comes!”

At 12 o’clock the next day, Meng Fan appeared near the Song Cheng city gate. He had just showed up when the staff spotted him.

The minister was thrilled. Because of this fatty’s dance, the city gate’s ‘Miss Wang Tossing the Silk Ball’ had garnered a larger audience in the last three or four days. The appearance was not praised worthy, but he knew that this month’s bonus would be a hefty one, especially his paycheck and the actress for Miss Wang’s.

“Xiao Chun, you better aim carefully.”

“No problem.”

Miss Wang tossed the silk ball to Meng Fan, who was waiting with open arms and snatched it out of the air. Although he hadn’t said much to Miss Wang in the last few days, he still felt there was a connection between them.

Meng Fan arrived on stage and then followed the minister’s procedures. He then said the most magical 3 words in the world, “I’m already here.”

“Beep!”

Less than half a minute later, 80,000 likes were gathered. And an alert sounded in Meng Fan’s ‘mind’.

“Beep! You’ve given out 1 million manual likes completing task phase 3 of [Adoration Fever]. Reward: Achievement points +1000, validation +1.”

“Beep! You’ve completed the task [Adoration Fever], receiving the title [Adoration Fever] (Validation +5)”

Meng Fan was ecstatic to receive 1000 accomplishment points, while the +6 validation points added bitterness to his joy.

However, the system did not stop beeping.

“Beep! You’ve unlocked the task [Real • Adoration Fever]”0

“Task requirement: Manually give out 100 million likes.”

“Upon completion, you will receive the title [Real • Adoration Fever] (Validation +10)”

‘What the hell is this!’

Meng Fan was dumbstruck.

‘The task upgraded?’

When he saw the progress bar of the task, Meng Fan gave up all motivation to continue fishing for likes.

The task was divided into four phases, 5 million, 10 million, 50 million, and 100 million. The rewards were divided into 500, 1000, 5000 and 10,000 points plus 1 point of validation for each phase.

The task had really upgraded. The progress seemed more difficult to complete, and the points given in comparison were less than the previous mission.

Before when he completed 1 million he got 1000 points; however, in this mission, he only got 1000 points for 100 million likes. It was 10 times harder!

“What? There’s an equipment bar!”

Meng Fan scrolled to the bottom and saw the only item listed in the equipment tab—a hat that made his sense of validation disappear.

The function was as the name suggests. Once worn, the wearer’s sense of validation will decrease, close to zero.
