Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 503 The Apartment Residents' Fantastic Adventure

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Yifei with a sense of frustration. Although he didn't say a word, his eyes were full of resentment.

"What are you looking at? A weak, incompetent, and shameless protagonist like you is outdated."

Yifei snorted and said confidently, "But I'm different. I'm smart and witty, competitive and unwilling to admit defeat, opinionated and sentimental. Is there anyone in the entire apartment who's more like the protagonist than me?"

Guan Gu pondered for a moment, "Yifei... Zhang Wei is really much more suitable than you."

Why?!

Yifei shouted in disbelief.

Zhang Wei proudly puffed out his chest and couldn't help but smugly say, "Guan Gu and Youyou have good eyesight; they saw at a glance that I was the most suitable candidate to be the protagonist."

"Now it's pretty obvious who has the most promising future in the apartment."

"Ha, Zhang Wei, don't you know that when people say someone has a promising future, it actually means they can't see any of their strengths right now?"

Yifei retorted, "How is Zhang Wei more suitable to be the lead role than me? Even his name sounds like it was mass-produced!"

Youyou quickly sat down next to Yifei and said nice things: "Yifei, the style of Guangu's comic this time is mainly humorous and lighthearted. Your personality is too strong. Making you the protagonist will affect the overall tone of the comic."

"Zhang Wei is different. He has almost all the characteristics of a protagonist who is a loser and a protagonist who is a comedy. It would be very suitable to use him as the protagonist."

"hehe."

Zhang Wei's smug smile suddenly froze. His lips twitched, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether Youyou was praising him or insulting him.

What does it mean to possess all the traits of a protagonist who is both a "trash" and a "comedic" protagonist?

Isn't this saying he's both bad at the game and a complete idiot?

Yifei was in a great mood after hearing Youyou's explanation. She immediately decided that she, the main heroine of the classic hot-blooded story, would not compete with Zhang Wei for the position of the protagonist in the comedy comic.

Seeing that the lead role was a sure thing, Zeng Xiaoxian felt too embarrassed to argue with Zhang Wei anymore.

After all, he couldn't very well tell everyone that he was worse and more of a clown than Zhang Wei.

He pointed to the first sentence of the outline and continued, "Then what does this bracket mean?"

Guan Gu explained, "The names in parentheses are the real names of the anime characters; we're just using your names to refer to them temporarily."

"If everyone agrees in the end that I will use your chibi-style images and personalities to create the characters, then you can come up with a name for the character. If anyone is not willing, I will delete that character."

"Oh……"

Everyone nodded; after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that Guan Gu's approach made a lot of sense.

After all, apart from someone with such a common name like Zhang Wei, it would be a bit strange for other people to see their own name in a comic.

Xiao Xian continued reading: "Zhang Wei, a talented but unappreciated individual, unexpectedly moved into an unremarkable little apartment building. What he didn't know was that he was the only person in the entire building...?"

Xiaoxian looked up at Guangu in astonishment: "Guangu, are you serious?"

Guan Gu nodded: "Teacher Zeng, please continue reading."

"All right."

Xiao Xian sighed and continued reading: "This is an apartment that randomly travels through dimensions and worlds every three months. The tenants who move into the apartment are all disillusioned people who want to leave their own world... except for Zhang Wei, that unlucky guy ( ).

"The spicy queen who stirs up hellish dishes every day is actually... Hu Yifei, the chief instructor of the 3601-strong demon army ()?"

"The self-proclaimed runaway heiress is actually... Lin Wanyu, the elven princess of the Golden City?"

Xiao Xian couldn't continue reading. He quickly flipped through the outline, and the more he flipped through it, the wider his eyes became.

"Lu Zhanbo, the devil who initiated the first industrial revolution in hell, and Zeng Xiaoxian, the weak angel whose holy light can only illuminate and add visual effects."

"Lu Ziqiao, a minotaur who loves to flirt with goddesses in every world he enters (seriously), is chased by countless goddesses; Chen Meijia, a witch with amazing magic power since childhood but who can only use cute magic because she is bad at math; and Curry Sauce, a gluttonous cub who can't get enough to eat even with five meals a day."

"Tang Youyou, an immortal witch skilled in ten thousand ways to die; Qin Yumo, a single nine-tailed fox who can't resist handsome men; and Chu Nanfeng, a petty and vengeful spirit..."

Zeng Xiaoxian completely broke down. He put down Guan Gu's outline and shouted uncontrollably, "What is all this?!"

Yu Mo was completely stunned. She didn't even have time to dwell on her status as an older single woman who couldn't resist handsome men. She just muttered to herself.

"Angels, demons, devils, elves, witches, minotaurs... all kinds of Western elements are included."

Meijia clapped and exclaimed in admiration, "Taotie, Diting, Nine-Tailed Fox... Guangu, you didn't even spare the mythical beasts of the East!"

Everyone stared blankly at Guan Gu, their thousand words of unspoken thoughts ultimately condensing into a single sentence.

"Guan Gu, are you really serious?"

"yes."

Guan Gu is very confident about this: "I think as long as this story is drawn well, a lot of people will definitely read it."

Zhang Wei twitched the corner of his mouth: "But why am I not so optimistic about your ability to draw well?"

"And they're both angels and demons, each one incredibly powerful. I'm supposed to be the protagonist, am I really just an ordinary person?"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian turned his head and rolled his eyes at Zhang Wei: "What's wrong with angels? You think a weak angel whose holy light can only provide illumination and visual effects is much stronger than an ordinary person?"

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, then smiled with relief: "In that case, I think being an ordinary person isn't so bad."

"Don't worry, Zhang Wei. Although it won't be a huge boost, you'll definitely get stronger later on."

"Actually, the whole story is about you accidentally moving into an apartment and being randomly transported to other worlds along with the apartment. In order to go home and survive, you have to explore different worlds with everyone, and along the way save the world in a hilarious way."

"Understood."

Everyone nodded.

Youyou said excitedly, "Guan Gu and I both think this idea is great, and Zhanbo and Wanyu also said it's very good."

"What do you guys think? Or should I ask you if you'd be willing to let Guan Gu create comics using your chibi-style images and personality designs?"

"Of course, some of the things we've been through will definitely be used as part of the story, but Guan Gu can guarantee that he will never reveal anyone's privacy or reopen any old wounds."

Guan Gu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, everyone, I will not use your suffering to amuse the readers."

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.

They still trusted Guan Gu's character, but this story...

Honestly, everyone thought this story was explosive and absurd.

But they also knew that it's difficult to judge the quality of a comic from such a short outline. This wasn't like Guan Gu's previous mystery comics, where everyone could tell from the content that he wasn't cut out for mystery.

Who knows... Guan Gu might actually be able to draw this story well.

Yifei spoke first: "I think it's good, it's better than the previous [last robot]."

She didn't have any objections to the story; after all, the character of the chief instructor of the 800,000-strong Demon Guard was quite cool. As long as the level of sophistication was high enough, she could draw Guan Gu however she wanted.

Yifei, who was quite satisfied with her identity, clearly forgot one thing: in comedy comics, such a thing as "prestige" doesn't exist.

Xiaoxian hesitated for a long time before weakly asking, "Can't my 'weak angel' persona be strengthened a little more?"

"cannot."

Without a second thought, Guan Gu said, "Teacher Zeng, don't try to change a creator... and I can't imagine how strong you would be if you didn't drink."

"Fine, I agree."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian was not very satisfied with his role, he still felt that he could give the comic book Guan Gu a try.

From Xiaoxian's personal perspective, he doesn't like reading outrageous comics, but he has to take a look at this one to see just how amazing it is.

Seeing that Yifei and Xiaoxian had both agreed, everyone else followed suit without much hesitation.

Anyway, if they don't use the chibi-style characters and personalities, they won't be able to use them for Guan Gu. As for adapting the stories that everyone has experienced into the comics, it's not a big deal. Many artists like to use things around them as material, which is completely different from plagiarism.

As long as Guan Gu doesn't include particularly heartbreaking things like Zeng Xiaoxian's eight-year relationship and being cheated on for six years, everyone feels it doesn't matter.

Guan Gu bowed slightly in thanks, then waved his hand generously and said, "Tonight it's my treat! Go wherever you want, order whatever you like!"

"good!"

"Kakegaya is so charismatic!"

Everyone applauded and cheered.

"By the way," Mika asked, looking up, "Have you thought of a name for this comic yet?"

Guan Gu nodded: "I've decided, let's call it: 【The Apartment Residents' Fantastic Adventure!】"

Before anyone could comment on the comic's title, the door to 3601 was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

Everyone turned around in astonishment and saw Xiao Hei leaning against the door, panting heavily.

"It's so good that you're all awake now. Come downstairs quickly, I need help, the more the better!"

"wrench?"

Guan Gu pointed to 3602: "I'll get the wrench for you from the toolbox."

"He's a helper, not a wrench!"

Xiao Hei said seriously, "Something big has happened. I need you to embark on an unknown adventure."

I'm coming
