Silver USB flash drive
After returning from dinner, Li Mantao received an invitation to an event.
The official team of "Xunxian Wendao" wanted to invite him to be the official cosplayer at a large comic convention during the summer vacation to cosplay a character in the game.
Li Mantao thought about it and asked Rong Yi if she had also received an invitation. Sure enough, the characters that the official asked them to cosplay were the most popular couple in the game.
"They must have noticed the popularity of our previous joint live broadcast." Rong Yi said.
Since the live broadcast of the "mask kiss", Li Mantao has not broadcast live with Rong Yi again. Firstly, Li Mantao felt awkward, and secondly, he was too busy.
He had to prepare for the Level 4 exam, prepare for the upcoming finals week, and also find time to draw. He had less time to live-stream his drawings than before, let alone live-stream gaming with Rong Yi.
However, even though they no longer appear in the same frame to promote homosexuality, their CP fans are still increasing continuously. It is really because that live broadcast was too popular, and CP fans are promoting it everywhere and attracting new people to join the fan base.
"Brother, are you ready to agree?" Li Mantao asked.
"It's all right. Manman, do you want to go and play?"
Li Mantao was a little conflicted. He didn't have much experience in cosplay and couldn't guarantee that he could perfectly cosplay the character in the players' minds, but... the official had given too much!
To cosplay once, he has to draw countless drafts!
Slapping his thigh, Li Mantao decided to bow to the money: "Let's go, if you don't want to make money, you bastard!"
Rong Yi smiled slightly: "Okay, then we'll go together."
But the most urgent thing now is to prepare for finals week.
When he got home, Li Mantao took out a few textbooks, picked up his tablet and went to the study.
When I opened the door, Rong Yi was already sitting inside reading a book.
During the period of preparation for the CET-4, Li Mantao stayed in the study and studied with Rong Yi. He was the one who mainly studied, while Rong Yi supervised him and also corrected his papers and explained the knowledge points.
After finishing the Level 4 exam, Li Mantao came to the study room as usual. The desks and chairs here were more comfortable than those in his room. His computer and other commonly used items were also placed in the study room.
The most important thing is that with Rong Yi watching over him, his efficiency is much higher than if he were alone.
After concentrating on organizing the key points for an entire afternoon, Li Mantao stood up and stretched, then took out a small silver USB drive from the drawer and plugged it into the computer.
This USB drive was given to him by Kong Zhong.
Kong Zhong failed seven out of eight courses in the final exams last semester. When his father found out, he was so angry that he kicked Kong Zhong out of the house and froze all his bank accounts. It was only Kong Zhong's mother who secretly helped him until his father calmed down.
Kong Zhong had a very hard time, and in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, Kong Zhong specially asked Li Mantao to compile a final exam strategy for him - Li Mantao was in the top three in the class for both the first and second semesters of his freshman year, and in the top ten in the department's GPA, and his ability was very strong - as long as it could prevent him from failing the course, it would be fine.
Kong Zhong also helped a lot during the last public opinion storm, so Li Mantao naturally agreed to this small matter.
The teachers had highlighted the key points in several theoretical courses. Li Mantao also got last year's final exam papers from his junior year senior. He scanned and sorted out all the knowledge points that might be tested, and then added a few more questions, attached the answers, and put them into USB folders in different categories. He was busy like this for a long time before he turned off the computer.
It was already time for dinner. Rong Yi didn't know what he was doing, but the aroma made Li Mantao's stomach growl a few times.
He was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He put the USB drive into the drawer and walked out of the study.
"I'm so hungry."
Li Mantao followed the smell into the kitchen and watched Rong Yi frying steak with eager eyes, like a cat begging for food.
Rong Yi naturally picked up a cherry tomato from the plate and handed it to Li Mantao's mouth.
Li Mantao took the cherry tomatoes out of the refrigerator and placed them on his lips. Without hesitation, he took them in his mouth, chewed them, and said incoherently, "Hmm... sweet."
"I'll be ready soon. Go sit on the sofa for a while."
Li Mantao nodded obediently, grabbed two more cherry tomatoes and stuffed them into his mouth, then leaned on the sofa to play with his mobile phone.
I saw a post where his fans were calculating how much money user 1231 had given him in gifts since he started broadcasting.
Li Mantao sat up straighter and clicked to see - two hundred and forty-five thousand!
The poster posted the gifts given by user 1231 for each live broadcast, all of which were stars in the sky. During the more than one month that Li Mantao live broadcast, user 1231 gave a total of 98 stars in the sky.
Li Mantao took a deep breath and opened the backstage of Guaji Guaji. He was even more shocked. Excluding the platform's share, the gifts Rong Yi gave him accounted for nearly 70% of his total income.
He went back to look at the post again. People in the comments were discussing the live broadcast of him and Rong Yi preparing for the Level 4 exam together. That was the live broadcast with the best data since he started broadcasting. Unfortunately, it was caught up in a public opinion storm right after it ended. After that, he fell silent and rarely broadcasted.
A lot of people in the comments kept repeating “Soul, come back”, and some people were cursing the Wuris people, thinking that if the Wuris people hadn’t done that, Li Mantao wouldn’t have hidden from the show.
Li Mantao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had originally planned to do the live broadcast just to take advantage of the platform. Now that the event was over and he had received the bonus, he had exams to attend, so naturally he had no time to do the live broadcast.
Although there is indeed a small number of reasons why people have psychological trauma due to being scolded.
Li Mantao sighed lightly and opened his manuscript receiving software.
Thanks to the popularity of live streaming, he now has countless people asking him to draw drafts, and even some large-scale games have asked him to draw illustrations. He has been working hard on drawing drafts during this period, and has accumulated a considerable amount of royalties.
Li Mantao returned to his room, took out his backpack, and pulled out a small notebook from the interlayer. The notebook was a bit old and the paper quality was not very good. It was obvious that it had been flipped through many times.
He found the latest page with handwriting, which read: On August xx, 20xx, I borrowed 20,000 yuan from Lian Yu for tuition and miscellaneous fees.
Another line of small words was written in the lower right corner: A total of 153,000 yuan, pay it off as soon as possible, come on!
While he was calculating quickly in his mind, his cell phone suddenly rang. Li Mantao opened the phone and looked at it, a smile appeared on his face.
Lian Yu: Manman, is Xunxian Wendao looking for you to be the official cosplayer for the XX Comic Expo?
Li Mantao quickly replied "yes".
Lian Yu: Haha, the official also invited me. I guess they want to create some topics. Do you mind?
[Lian Yu: Don't worry, if you mind I'll just turn it down. I'm not short of money either.]
Li Mantao couldn't help but think of the fight between Rong Yi and Lian Yu's CP fans and his and Rong Yi's CP fans. If the three of them were in the same frame, who knows what kind of fight these fans would have.
Lian Yu knew that he had been attacked some time ago, and was probably worried that the fan fight would affect him again.
But it didn't matter. Li Mantao wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. He didn't dare to read private messages anymore. He might see his black and white photo if he opened it.
There is no reason to delay Lian Yu from making money because of this.
Li Mantao: Don't worry, Brother Lian. I've experienced a lot now. When the comic convention is over, let's have dinner together.
【Lian Yu: That’s great, I’ll treat you then】
【Lian Mao: touch.jpg】
Putting down his phone, Li Mantao looked at the small account book again and wrote a line on the blank page. When he heard Rong Yi calling him to eat, he put the book away before walking out.
After dinner, Li Mantao put the dishes in the dishwasher, went into the study, opened the drawer where he usually kept miscellaneous items, but he didn't find the USB flash drive given by Kong Zhong.
He placed his things randomly, and without thinking much, he opened the drawer next to him and saw a silver USB flash drive.
Li Mantao hooked the USB flash drive's lanyard with his fingers, and a sense of something wrong flashed through his mind. He frowned and looked at the USB flash drive again. Well, it was silver, that's right.
Putting the USB drive in his pocket, Li Mantao walked towards the door.
While I was tying my shoelaces, I heard the bathroom door open.
"Manman, where are you going?"
Li Mantao tied his shoelaces and turned around. Rong Yi was standing behind him in a bathrobe, which scared him. "Brother, you walk silently."
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow and asked again: "It's so late, where are you going?"
Li Mantao glanced at the time and said speechlessly, "It's only eight o'clock, how can it be considered late? I'm going to deliver the review materials to Kong Zhong, which is a good time to digest the food."
"I'll accompany you." Rong Yi said.
"No, no, no." Li Mantao hurriedly stopped Rong Yi, "You just took a shower, it would be a waste if you go out. I'm just going to the dormitory, I won't get lost."
Rong Yi was silent for a few seconds, and seeing that Li Mantao insisted, he gave up.
"You're getting more and more clingy..."
Li Mantao murmured as he pressed the elevator button.
They strolled all the way to the dormitory, and found the door was locked. Li Mantao took out the key and opened the door as expected. He put the USB drive on Kong Zhong's desk, and prepared to send a message to Kong Zhong before leaving.
Halfway through editing, there was some movement at the door. Li Mantao looked over and a few seconds later, two figures hugging each other rushed in, and were very affectionate, completely unaware of Li Mantao who was standing there.
Li Mantao: “…”
He looked up at heaven and knocked on the table.
The two crisp knocks finally interrupted the intimate interaction between the two lovers.
"Damn, Tao, why didn't you say anything?" Kong Zhong wiped his mouth and turned the tables.
Wan Shanlin looked at Li Mantao with ferocious eyes, as if he was very dissatisfied with this uninvited guest who ruined his good deeds.
I don’t even want to pretend anymore. Where is that little crybaby I used to be?
Li Mantao was speechless. He pointed at the USB drive on the table and said unhappily, "Who begged me to organize the review materials?"
Kong Zhong then remembered what he had asked Li Mantao to do and chuckled, "Our Tao'er is so efficient. Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
After saying that, he glanced towards the door, and his meaning was very clear: don't disturb him.
Li Mantao was so angry that he raised his middle fingers at him with both hands: "When you need me, you call me daddy, and when you don't, you throw me aside. Am I a cheap person?"
Kong Zhong pinched his shoulder ingratiatingly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Taotao. Go back and have a rest."
As he said this, he put his arm around his shoulders and led him to the door. After he left, he quickly turned around, closed the door, and locked it.
Li Mantao: “…”
Friends are forgotten when seeing beauty! Friends are forgotten when seeing beauty!
Li Mantao really regretted putting so much effort into organizing the paper. Judging from Kong Zhong's attitude, he probably wouldn't even read it carefully. So let him fail the exam!
