“Beep! You’ve unlocked the task [Group Photo Guru].”
“Task requires 100 photographs to be taken with different kinds of people.”
“Upon completion, you will receive achievent title [Group Photo Guru] (Photogenic 1, Smile Appeal 1).”
He looked down, but there was only one task with no phases.
Presently, he had completed 10/100.
In other words, this was another task that was triggered after reaching a certain degree of accumulation, similar to the previous [Travelling Deity] task that was triggered after he had tallied 1000 ters.
That being the case, ng Fan sighed in relief. He thought it had been the action of the aunty that had triggered the task, but it turns out she had just been the tenth in line.
If this aunty was really his “Task NPC”… He had difficulty just thinking about it.
Although there was only one process, there were still rewards, but only 100 achievent points, with no additional attributes.
It made sense if you think about it. The title attribute was already 1, so it made sense that phase rewards didn’t exist.
As for the attributes that ca with the title… ng Fan was baffled.
The photogenic attribute was understandable; as regardless of how he went about it, the task would have to be done in front of a cara. But what kind of taphysical attribute is ‘smile appeal’…? Besides, he didn’t smile while they had taken the pictures before!
And most importantly, it had no equipnt.
He looked back again and decided all the rewards ca down to photogenic attribute 1, Smile appeal 1, and 100 achievent points. It was definitely the most underwhelming and stingy task the system had provided so far.
Although [Wealth Distribution Cherub] only rewarded 1 for an attribute, at least it was for “Luck 1″—It even sounded more advanced than the taphysical attributes of validation and smile appeal.
Sigh. As he pondered it over, ng Fan suddenly rembered sothing. It was when he had spent 1200 HXB treating Chen Da Qiang to dinner and the transfer counted towards his task process. Later, when Chen Da Qiang returned the money to him… He took a closer look at the progress bar. ng Fan confird, the system would not deduct the existing progress.
“Is it because I genuinely wanted to treat them at the ti, so the system judged it as wealth distribution, and left it alone?”
He held onto the thought for a mont without too much hesitation. After all, based on previous situations, ng Fan didn’t have much need to analyze this task thoroughly.
As of now, the newly unlocked [Group Photo Guru] task was poor in terms of rewards, but no matter how he looked at it, it was by far the easiest task to accomplish. Like hunting rabbits while cutting grass, it could be done smoothly alongside other tasks. ng Fan had to complete it.
The confident aunty saw ng Fan’s strange expression, imdiately dimming her mood. “Aiyo! When you were taking a picture with that other pretty girl you weren’t like this, but that’s not the case with , why is your expression so ugly when it cos to ? This sort of different treatnt is not a good look!”
ng Fan yanked his thoughts back to reality, dumbfounded by the comnt. He didn’t smile during the last photo either… was there really such a big difference between smiling and not smiling?
But what could he say, his environnt growing up all cultivated him to never argue with a woman. It’s best if you can muddle your way through it, if not, playing cute works. If those don’t work, then avoiding them is the last resort.
The hardships of life had given ng Fan wisdom. Weakly, he said, “You stepped on my foot.”
“Oh? Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” The confident aunty’s change in tone was quite fierce. “You’re such a nice young man, you wouldn’t judge soone by their appearance. Even so, I’m still passable! Even though I’m a bit older, but I’m still very good looking! Look at my daughter, you should be able to guess how pretty I was when I was younger!”
ng Fan zealously nodded his head, feeling the flexibility in his neck evidently increase from his running task progress.
“Your stream is called…” The confident aunty thought hard for a mont. ” ng fatty breaking a waterlon, right? When I get back I’ll get my daughter to send you so fan gifts! I’m very trendy too, so I’m aware of what streams and stuff are.”
The confident aunty covered her awkwardness with forced laughter and stood to the side, murmuring ng Fan’s stream title the whole ti. She couldn’t figure out where this na ca from. ng fatty eating lons made more sense… Maybe not; eating waterlons won’t make you fat.
“Young people nowadays don’t pay attention to it, but back in our days, every QQ na was well thought at the ti. My na was ‘Crystal Romance’, so full of western flavor. The kid’s father’s na was called ‘Cool Boy’, even now he’s still so cool!”
The confident aunty rambled on, feeling particularly beautiful. She had long forgotten that she never actually did step on ng Fan’s foot.
The aunty stood to the side and turned to leave. ng Fan let out a breath. Regarding his stream na, is it a good thing that she forgot?
Although her rendition of it made ng Fan very uneasy.
He disregarded the sea of rowdiness in the stream channel and continued to draw.
Because of the [Group Photo Guru] achievent task, from ng Fan’s perspective; now is the best opportunity to collect group photo experience, and he didn’t need to find people specifically to take pictures with. Hence, he had to increase his rate of production and drawing speed.
The best thod that ng Fan had thought of was to not add color, or add simple color, limiting it to three at max. He’d try to maximize areas he could use black to replace, and if there were blank spaces, that would be even better.
Additionally, there was another reason that the number of people in line had been increasing—Maybe it was due to the confidence the aunty had portrayed, for so average looking onlookers had joined the line—Although there was shade, it was still blazing hot outside. He would try his best to minimize their ti in line.
He was wearing his headband so he didn’t feel the heat, but he couldn’t stand to see others burn under the sun.
After adjusting his strategy, ng Fan managed to keep his caricature ti below 3 minutes, becoming highly efficient.
Although the colors were simple, the quality of the drawings did not decrease. The following two people had no complaints, delightfully taking their pictures with ng Fan before leaving.
Of course, there were so picky custors. For example, the thirteenth pretty girl who’s lipstick was particularly prominent. After all, there wasn’t just one confident aunty in the world, only she wasn’t as fierce in her language. She couldn’t help but ntion, “You paid more attention during the ones you drew before.”
ng Fan finally understood the concept of nothing good cos for free. If he had set the cost to 2-300 per portrait, nobody would say anything.
Following the principle of ‘earning a small amount rather than no amount’, ng Fan prepared to explain that there were too many people, then try to muddle through. Suddenly, a bottle of ice cola appeared in between the lipstick girl and ng Fan.
“Aiyo, you really like to compare huh?! You have to understand this young man, can’t you see? There are so many people in line, the young man evidently just wants the queue to go faster and give everyone a drawing so they don’t have to wait so long, so he increased his speed.”
The aunty had left and ca back with a bottle of ice cola for ng Fan. When she opened her mouth it was like a turret, putting into play her thod of ‘changing the tide’. She then turned to the people in line and reiterated again, “It’s better than not having any, don’t you think? The young man is a kind person, let’s applaud his efforts!”
“I didn’t say anything!”
The lipstick girl was no match for the confident aunty. She smiled awkwardly and left.
The aunty placed the ice cola on the edge of his easel and gave him a look that said ‘I’m not only pretty but I can also finish a fight’, and turned ornately to walk away.
ng Fan was speechless. This aunty was really fierce.
But this was good; the remaining custors won’t be complaining about the simplicity of the colors.
Initially, he felt that the matter was more difficult to explain. After all, there was a distinct difference in treatnt in the first half and the second. He didn’t think that the aunty had actually solved the issue in one breath.
Of course, even if the color was simple, with ng Fan’s drawing skills, each portrait was still a masterpiece.
