I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

...

So Xiao Liu started playing PUBG Mobile, a five-player tower-capture game where players can customize their characters' appearances, buy and combine various skills, and form teams to fight against each other.

His rank is very high.

The runes and skills are very well-matched, and the character creation is based on the handsome protagonist Bordon from the popular comic "Hot-Blooded Contract," with movement and assassin skills.

Normally, there are about a hundred people watching him play games in his live stream.

As soon as Xiao Liu started his live stream, a lot of people came in and waited for him to join. Some people even told him in advance when he came in.

It's best not to play ranked games today. The season just started, and you never know if your teammates are good or bad. One game might be amazing, and the next it might be terrible.

I've had a ten-game losing streak today. Ranked matches are cursed.

"Don't be afraid!"

"I just finished reading the comic, and I'm in a great mood."

Xiao Liu ignored all advice and happily went for a spin.

The start went relatively smoothly, because comics were popular, and everyone was sporting various comic book characters they had created, and even their names were taken from the names of characters from various comic books.

...

They were joking around at first, but as the situation became more serious, everyone's smiles disappeared.

Xiao Liu also went from being calm at the beginning to being serious.

Then, the bot lane duo both died, and when the mid laner went to support them, they also died in the bot lane.

He teleported to the top lane and died in the bottom lane. During a 4-for-0 exchange, he finally couldn't hold back and started venting.

"I'm truly impressed by you guys!"

"Do you know what you look like? You're just like those Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather!"

"Are you guys paying the other side's wages here?"

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

He kept spitting for a long time.

His teammate didn't engage him in lane, but after a while, silently asked a question.

What does "Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa" mean? Is this a new meme?

Chapter 16 has gone viral, are you ending it now? (Please read during the new book period!)

When he saw that his teammates not only didn't greet him, but instead asked him such a question, Xiao Liu began to reflect and took a deep breath.

He really is too short-tempered.

at this time.

Some people in the live stream chat also asked about this meme.

What is the story of "Calabash Brothers Saving Grandpa"?

"It's like in a comic book, where a vine grows seven flowers, and then the seven flowers grow into seven gourds, and the gourds turn into seven children."

"They wanted to save Grandpa, but instead of all seven of them going together, they went one by one to their deaths... It makes me angry just thinking about it. Doesn't that process resemble those incompetent teammates who went to their deaths one by one?"

Xiao Liu simply explained it once, and everyone instantly understood the joke, as if it had been awakened from their very blood.

really.

No matter what language it is, swear words are always the first thing people learn.

One afternoon.

In the live stream, more than a hundred viewers automatically learned this meme, even when they were just sending comments.

They immediately put it into practice while they were playing with it.

They were cursing with such fervor.

...

A few days later, a post suddenly appeared in the gaming forum.

Does anyone know the meme about the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather?

Nowadays, not many people use Baidu Tieba.

However, quite a few people still left comments after seeing the post.

I know this meme; I've heard it mentioned by people these past few days. I was even wondering what comic the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather was from, so I searched for "Calabash Brothers," but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Is it possible that it's not called Calabash Brothers? I couldn't find it either.

The plot is about the Calabash Brothers rescuing their grandfather; what else should it be called but Calabash Brothers? It can't be called Calabash Brothers vs. Monsters, can it?

Someone replied below: [It's called "Monster City." Ignore the initial dozen or so chapters of setting, the first six chapters of the main story, and the two chapters that follow (two of which are dedicated to Black Cat Detective). Basically, when you see him drawing the cover, and the cover features the Calabash Brothers, that's when it begins.]

Although Black Cat Detective He Zhoubiao has five episodes, the length of each episode of Monster City is different now, only taking up the content of two episodes of Monster City.

The person above remained silent for a long time before replying.

【？？？？？？？？？？】

...

When He Zhou finished drawing the eighth chapter, nearing the end, he finally saw a large wave of comments today.

[Finally found it! The beginning was so long and tedious, I skipped it.]

Is this art style for real?

[For those questioning the art style, check out the purple Calabash Brothers image in the comments section.]

A while later, someone in the comments section who had questioned the art style asked: "Did you come back after watching it?"

The person replied: "This crayon drawing is really good! Simple lines create an abstract beauty! It perfectly matches my image of the Calabash Brothers!"

His reaction was clearly expected by everyone else: [Laughing so hard.]

The number of collectors has skyrocketed from the previous twenty-odd to three or four hundred.

...

The post generated a lot of traffic, and it's still increasing.

The popularity score kept ringing.

The rate of increase has increased significantly.

[Character's popularity increased by 0.04]

[Character's popularity increased by 0.04]

It increased by one decimal point.

At night.

He Zhou's popularity has also accumulated to [Character Popularity Value: 0.4] for the first time.

The 0.1 popularity points you get from skill exchanges are enough; you can exchange them for 0.1 points once you upgrade to the background!

That means you need to accumulate 1.1 popularity points!

Seeing this popularity gave He Zhou a renewed sense of motivation.

Judging from this situation...

They're making a push these next few days, and hopefully they can break 1 point by the end.

As for the next book, I've already thought about it.

It is a very famous comic book.

The plot isn't very long either.

Even the background characters have a high chance of refreshing with decent skills, although they might be a bit overpowered for this world.

He Zhou checked the time.

"This weekend?"

"Time is running out."

...

"Let's play one more game!"

"I'll go draw... write comics!"

Since she only needed to input the plot, Tian Xiaoxi had become lazy and was finally able to have some time to herself.

She was huddled in a large chair, engrossed in playing on her phone. Although her stats in the upper right corner showed zero kills and five deaths, she felt that all twenty kills on her team were related to her!

If it weren't for her sacrificing herself to hold off the mid laner, how could the bot lane have won?

After dying in the Nth team fight, the jungler with the highest score finally couldn't hold back and yelled: "Are you guys like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandpa? Giving away one by one? I'm not playing anymore! I'm surrendering!"

"How did it turn into the Calabash Brothers saving Grandpa? What am I doing... huh?"

Before the debate even started, Tian Xiaoxi's mind suddenly went blank.

and many more.

Calabash Brothers?

Isn't this the comic drawn by the NPC He Zhou?

...

After finishing the game, Tian Xiaoxi curiously inquired about the situation and was stunned when she learned that the meme had gone viral.

Does this work too?

next second.

Her mind started racing.

What if we renamed the monster city to "Calabash Brothers" at this time?

This is absolutely not admitting defeat!

Instead, they should temporarily avoid confrontation!

He endured hardship and bided his time!

She went to check out the backstage area, her heart filled with excitement…

"Cannot be modified!"

"Nothing can be changed!"

Just like before, I can't delete books, I can't change anything, and I can't even create new books!

This dashed her hopes, and in her disappointment, she clicked the "+" button in the comic to input the plot.

Even if the plot can't be changed.

It would be good if the Calabash Brothers wrote a longer story!

Bow down to your wallet!

Let's capitalize on this surge in viewership first! We'll deal with the rest of the story later!

...

Tian Xiaoxi typed: [After learning that his comic book, Calabash Brothers, was popular, He Zhou was very happy to continue drawing the comic and decided to draw it up to one hundred episodes before ending it.]

"Once this ghostwriter is no longer willing to draw, I'll happily take over the wildly popular work and continue drawing my monster city!"

"Ha ha!"

"Thank you for the website's gift!"

As long as it becomes popular!

Whatever she draws, readers should love to see, right?

Then readers should be able to feel her research and dedication to BE aesthetics!
