Chapter 63: Chapter 62 Hello, Hello (Please Subscribe First!)
The shop “Persistent Visit” suddenly became popular on the forum “Quitting Porn Bar.”
And there were quite a few silly netizens shouting about going to crusade against it, but behind the scenes, they were secretly placing orders.
There was no way around it; in such an environment, it was hard not to attract attention.
First of all, everyone here was worldly and wise, and in their quest to quit pornography, they had “grown indifferent” to many things.
Familiar videos, shoo, go away.
Familiar pictures, shoo, go away.
Familiar novels, shoo, go away.
Huh? What the fuck, I have never seen this style before! Interesting, very interesting!
A pioneering style indeed presented a new obstacle for everyone.
And look at its “outrageous” shop name! It’s simply contrary to our principles!
You know, there’s a type of people on the internet known as: internet touring dogs.
This means, when you share all the fun stuff on the internet with your friends, you’re just like that little dog that picks up odd things outside and brings them home.
What’s worse, the other dog might not even take a look, and then a few days later brings back something identical to dump on you.

How happy the silly netizens are, how willing they are to share.
Some of the content from “Quitting Porn Bar” was quickly screenshot by a bunch of people, then they used it as fun stuff, sending it to friends, posting it in various groups, or other platforms.
And just like that, a notable buzz was unexpectedly stirred up online.
Of course, the main reason was that this style in 2014 was indeed novel.
To be realistic, Korean comics generally follow just a few styles, which are rather monotonous. After seeing too many, it’s easy to grow tired of them.
But at first glance, the visual impact is indeed strong!
Otherwise, Korean comics, which have only risen in popularity for a short time, wouldn’t have been able to gain a strong foothold so quickly in this particular niche.
With the boost of online popularity, “Persistent Visit” surprisingly took on the flavor of an internet celebrity shop.
Many silly netizens also came to contact customer service and offered some “well-intentioned” advice.
“Dude, isn’t it a bit of a waste to only use this awesome style for a shop?”
“Go do serialized work, the realm of comics is where you should be conquering!”
“Go and draw fiercely for me! I’m telling you, don’t be ungrateful!”
This left all the customer service staff in the studio looking at each other in confusion.
What the hell, the workload has mysteriously increased!
Where the fuck do these dumbass customers come from?
We’re a shop, you know, the pictures are obviously drawn by someone from outside, you guys don’t think they’re done by the designers in the shop, do you?
We’re just small customer service agents, why are you talking to me about this?
Really, silly netizens sure have a lot of joy.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhu felt a bit bewildered.
After being reborn, he always felt he was strategizing behind the scenes, with everything under control.
He thought he had a far-sighted vision, eyes like lightning, and a divine ability to predict!
Even so, he could never have imagined that the surge in his shop’s popularity all over the net originated from… “Quitting Porn Bar”?
“It feels unrelated and yet somehow expected, reasonable yet surprising…” Cheng Zhu found himself somewhat bemused.
He even went to “Quitting Porn Bar” to search around, only to find that the content related to “Persistent Visit” was indeed deleted.
This made Cheng Zhu feel quite normal, after all, it didn’t fit the purpose of the forum and it also had commercial nature.
But precisely because it was deleted, it made the whole story even more interesting.
Anyways, the netizens had already taken screenshots, and those screenshots were already flying all over the place.
The incident even alarmed many insiders in the QQ industry.
Especially those in e-commerce.
“What the heck, there’s a marketing scheme like this?”
“I’ve been in the industry for so long but never seen a dream partnership with ‘Quitting Porn Bar.’
“This comic seems to have some potential, huh?”
“This shop is really awesome, worthy of serious study by the industry!”
“I’m quite optimistic about this shop, it feels like it has the potential to climb to the top of the category.”
If things go as usual, soon there will be a bunch of copycats trying out ‘Man-Comic Unity,’ looking for artists to draw for them.
Some people will copy the style directly, and others will probably try to do something different.
This is unavoidable, and Cheng Zhu doesn’t care about it either.
“As long as everyone knows who the Grandmaster is and who are just followers, that’s enough!”
“After all, I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve!”
“Let them know what it means to be always imitated, but never surpassed!”
But for now, he had more important things to do.
Cheng Zhu needed to find a time to go to the barber to cut his hair that was almost covering his eyes.
Because school was about to start soon.
“I wonder how Lin Lu’s promised senior sister one-stop service is coming along?”
…
…
The day for freshmen to start school arrived quickly.
Since Cheng Zhu studied in Hang City, Xu Yun planned to go with him today.
But Cheng Zhu declined his mom’s kindness and suggested she should busy herself with the fresh food store instead.
The You family’s fresh supermarket opened three days ago, on a date chosen after consulting an expert for an auspicious day.
Therefore, in these past few days, his parents were both very busy, with his grandparents occasionally helping out at the supermarket.
Both Cheng and Xu Yun felt quite at ease with their son, figuring he was now an adult, and they let him be.
After all, some new students were traveling thousands of miles to study on their own, without parental accompaniment.
However, even though Cheng Zhu was attending school locally in Hang City, he would be living on campus.
One reason was that Hang City was indeed very large, and commuting back and forth was quite a hassle, and on the other hand, it was more freeing to stay on campus, which would enrich campus life and make it easier for him to venture out and do some things.
Last night, while Cheng Zhu was packing his suitcase, Little Youzi sat on top of it, comparing the size of the suitcase to her own body.
“Big brother, can you pack me in to and take me with you to school?” she asked with her big eyes blinking.
“No way, I see you just don’t want to go to kindergarten!” Cheng Zhu immediately saw through her little ruse.
“That’s not true, I really like going to kindergarten!” Little Youzi shot back: “I just feel a little sad about leaving big brother.”
She lifted her right hand and showed a tiny distance between two fingers.
Seeing her little hand, Cheng Zhu remarked, “So you’re only this little bit sad, huh?”
Upon hearing this, Little Youzi would laugh and then spread her fingers apart a bit more, and then even more.
“I’m this much sad, no, this much…” she mumbled on.
Cheng Zhu chuckled as he ruffled her hair, then pinched her cheek, wishing Little Youzi could stay young forever.
The next day, Cheng Zhu casually changed into a refreshing set of clothes.
When it comes down to it, as long as a guy has an okay figure and understands a bit about dressing up, he’s already got a leg up.
He remembered seeing a saying that went something like: “If a guy is a bit handsome, then he’s very handsome. But a girl has to be very good-looking to be considered pretty.”
At this moment, standing in front of the mirror, he even VAInly touched his hair.
“Let’s go,” he whispered to himself.
Technology University in Hang City is located in Xiasha.
That area is famously known as University City, so cars can’t even drive up to the campus gates; the entire road is jammed like crazy.
And in Hang City these past few years, there’s always construction on the roads, making traffic a bit inconvenient in some areas.
Sitting in the taxi, Cheng Zhu felt like he would be faster on foot.
Since he didn’t have much luggage, he paid the fare and got off.
After taking his suitcase out of the taxi’s trunk, he remembered Jiang Wanzhou, the guy who gave it to him.
“Speaking of which, this suitcase was a birthday gift from him,” Cheng Zhu thought: “It’s even a Rimowa.”
If it were like his previous life, he wouldn’t even know the value of this suitcase at this stage. But in his reborn life, he knew full well that a suitcase like this cost thousands of yuan.
Last year, when Cheng Zhu received the gift, he was a bit disdainful. Jiang Wanzhou’s reason was that in the future they could all go on trips together, go out and have fun, and the like.
Yet until now, Cheng Zhu has only been on one trip, to Guan Yun, and he didn’t dare bring Jiang Wanzhou, this guy with an aura of doom. Instead, he brought Wang Anquan, a robust young man.
Now, dragging his suitcase along this familiar road, he felt rather nostalgic.
Don’t think that just because the university is called Technology University, it seems like there are hardly any female students. The reality is not so.
In Hang City’s Technology University, the male-to-female ratio is actually quite good. The university is nowhere lacking in girls, and the situation of “more wolves than meat” is not severe.
Moreover, regardless of gender, college students yearn for love. But while many female students actually take action, many male students keep thinking I want to date but end up playing games in the dorm or internet cafes for four years.
The competition freaking useless, addicted to games; if you still can’t find love in college, you better look for problems within yourself.
At this time in Hang City, it’s still the hot season, so it’s still a good time to see legs on the streets.
It must be said, no matter how the girls’ faces are, watching their leg-baring silhouettes walking by is still somewhat enchanting.
On this short walk, Cheng Zhu also received quite a few glances from the opposite sex.
Slightly over one meter-eighty, dressed simply and neatly, plus a demeanor that set him apart from the surrounding men, he stood out in the crowd.
Moreover, these days the bowl cut is very popular. Okay, those who sport this hairstyle insist it’s called a micro-layered bowl, not a bowl cut.
Cheng Zhu’s hair was cut short, which along with his tall stature, gave him the vibe of a sports student.
As he was pulling his suitcase to the campus gate, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
There stood a lovely figure under a sun umbrella, earnestly standing on tiptoes while waving her right hand quickly. She had two pretty dimples from her wide smile, unconcerned with the stares, shouting loudly:
“Cheng Zhu, hello! Hello there!”
