Chapter 152: Another Interview

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The wind god, who had scored his annual best of 818 points, knew that once round three from group B ended; his chances of making the provincials this year were very slim.

That Iron master had scored 827 in the third round!

To cast 820 plus wasn't just because of a good feeling, it was his normal playstyle!

There was a person in group A who could complete the 800-challenge as well. Before Meng Fan's third round, he had already given up the idea of entering provincials this year. However, he didn't know whether his mind was too relaxed or something else, for his intuition had been quite good, and during the third round, he broke through the 800-mark. It was also his highest score in history, 809.

"Student Zhou Wei."

After watching Meng Fan complete the third round, Wu Tong had gained some more understanding regarding arcade basketball. She knew Meng Fan was going to advance to the next round in the first seed, but she was still a bit curious. "Was he this good at basketball before?"

"I've never seen him to to the arcade before, so I never saw him play basketball machines either." Zhang Zhou Wei paused for a moment and added, "Since he started running with you, I feel like I understand him less."

To this, Xing Ta Ge and Chen Da Qiang furiously nodded in agreement.

Wu Tong heard this and smiled. She didn't know Meng Fan before, so she had no idea what they meant by not understanding him more and more. If she knew, she would know that the only thing relevant to her was Meng Fan running with her.

If that was so, she would be even more doubtful.

Doubtful of what?

Doubtful of Meng Fan's changes.

Zhang Zhou Wei and the other guys all had thought Meng Fan's drastic change was because of Wu Tong, and if Wu Tong knew of Meng Fan's past, she would learn that Meng Fan's changes had little to do with her.

She would treat this as a "topic" to study and develop further understanding. In this case, she might discover even more unusual things in Meng Fan.

However, if no such thing existed, Wu Tong could only attribute everything to Meng Fan's hand speed.

He was fast at drawing and shooting baskets.

Accuracy though could be practiced.

Although Zhang Zhou Wei and the other guys had never seen Meng Fan shoot baskets, they couldn't exclude the fact that Meng Fan had played several times.

"Iron master, sugoi!"

Amid the cheers of Qu Jing Jing and the other maids, Meng Fan who had secured the first seed to the next round approached from the playing grounds, waving his hands at the maid army indicating for them to stay low key. He then smiled and said, "I just asked, the second round of singles will start after the first rounds for men's doubles and mixed doubles, so it'll be at around 12:30. Let's go find some place with food and wait, or should we eat after watching the first round of men's doubles?"

They all came for Meng Fan, so watching the game was optional. However, since they were here already, and there was plenty of time, everyone discussed it and decided to eat after watching the men's doubles.

"Hello, I am a reporter from Qian Tang TV. Can I ask you to do a simple interview?" A female reporter approached Meng Fan with her film crew.

The CGL basketball tournament was pretty well known, hence Qian Tang TV naturally would not let go of the competition material during the Hangzhou qualifiers. They had long sent reporters to squat there. Of course, there were also some who were specially invited by the organizers.

As Hangzhou's best player, Meng Fan naturally received attention from these journalists.

"Another interview!"

"This is our Meng fatty's second time being interviewed by a journalist, right?"

"Last time was a paper publication, this time is a TV station, how amazing for our fatty!"

"This reporter is much prettier than the last yo."

"Hmmph. This cameraman is not as handsome as the tattooed hunk from last time!"

"Hahaha Meng fatty so seriously just said he was a basketball fan, is this true?"

"This fan is not a fan, Meng Fatty's original name is Meng Xiao Xin."

"I understand!"

"But he said that because of his figure, he couldn't play basketball and had to resort to shooting machines… Seems legit!"

It was said that the power of these squatting reporters would be realized after a category produces a winner, but Meng Fan's presence was too strong. Plus, his talents were strong as well. Everyone knew he had the championship on lock down. Hence, after Qian Tang TV interviewed him, all the other reporters also began their attack.

They had to interview him anyway, so why not do it sooner. What if this iron hero with his maid army decided to leave after the competition? They would miss a perfect opportunity to gather materials.

"Uhm, can I go eat first?"

The men's doubles matches were over. Meng Fan discovered there were still media personnel flinging themselves on him, and began to panic. It wasn't that there were too many reporters at the competition, for there were only about four or five groups max, but it was a bit terrifying that for no particular reason, the interviews had been freakishly long.

These so-called simple interviews had all lasted at least ten or fifteen minutes. They had purposefully tried to turn an interview into a conversation. Was it because they were bored since they had to wait for the finals anyways?

Meng Fan looked at them closely. But each time, the machines had been turned on.

"Buddy, if you don't want to be interviewed you can just rest in the player's lounge!" Da Fei heard Meng Fan's annoyance and gave him the middle finger. "Over there, journalists can't bother the players in their rest area, don't you know? Standing like a sore thumb out here… You're basically telling everyone that you're a wild flower, and for everyone to come interview you!"

Meng Fan paused for a long time. "I am a very straightforward man, but I don't want the friends I have to be straightforward as well!"

Da Fei cackled with laughter. "I can't gloss it anymore."

The group of people headed upstairs for lunch before returning to the venue. Meng Fan seemed to have missed Da Fei's phone calls and was still watching the competition with Wu Tong and the others.

Was he repulsed by interviews?

A little.

But didn't he still have the [News Figure] task? The subtask had listed that he must be reported on by a local media ten times. Upon completion, he would earn +1 validation and +1 charm. The former didn't matter, but the latter was very important!

This subtask was not difficult, but not flexible either. He had to do something, and they just happened to be present today, so Meng Fan certainly hoped he could receive more interviews. Although he couldn't guarantee the interviews could be aired, it would still increase his experience regardless.

Yes. There were only two agencies left, he had to stand around and wait for them.

He had slipped away previously because he was really hungry.

"It seems like you really want to be interviewed."

The second round of men's singles was about to begin when Meng Fan finally entered the ring. When Da Fei saw him, he gave him another middle finger.

Meng Fan chuckled and asked him, "They've interviewed me alright, but how can I get them to air it?"

"You want to be famous that bad?" Da Fei asked.

Meng Fan couldn't tell him the truth so he shrugged his shoulders. "It's not like it's a bad thing."

Da Fei laughed. "If you're badass enough to break the competition record, there will be no shortage of aired reports."
