Chapter 754: Walked Right Into It!
In front of the mirror.
Liu Zilang was dressed in a high school uniform. The top button of his shirt was unfastened, and he was wearing a silver-white wig to match Haruko Kasugano’s hair.
He already had a fresh young face, and he looked exactly like a high school freshman.
The two makeup helper girls crossed their arms as they admired their handiwork. Both of them looked at Liu Zilang with admiration and praised him. They kept saying how his looks perfectly matched the character.
Liu Zilang was pleased that he was being heaped praises.
He picked up his smartphone and aimed the front-facing camera toward his face. He arrogantly tossed his hair back and was prepared to be mocked by his viewers.
Liu Zilang understood his viewers too well, they could not accept the fact that he was handsome.
‘Not my problem if they can’t accept reality!’
As a handsome man with an unparalleled visage, Liu Zilang felt like he needed to put himself in his viewers’ shoes.
However, quite unexpectedly, Liu Zilang saw only positive comments when he had steeled his heart and gathered the courage to look at the bullet screen.
“Wow! You can’t be that handsome!”
“Oh my god, how can there be such a handsome boy in this world?”
“I, the Daniel Wu of Chongqing, bow to you!”
“I, the Wang Tiezhu of the northwest, lead the cheer squad for Vic!”
“Prince Charming! I would like to make love to you!”
“Vic, Vic! As a handsome b*stard, how do you deal with the pressures of daily life?”
“By the way, quick, show yourself to Xiaotong-chan!”
“Right! Let Xiaotong-chan look at the new you!”
“…”
Liu Zilang watched the messages on the bullet screen roll past and was a little taken aback. Since when were this bunch of f*ckers so supportive?
In any case, even if he felt a little weirded out, it was better than being mocked.
Liu Zilang replied humbly, “You’re too kind, I’m just a little bit more handsome than Ol’ Qiu and Master Ze.
“Actually, I’m letting you in on something that not many people know, don’t tell anyone else.”
The viewers in the live stream channel were, in fact, egging on Liu Zilang, and naturally, everyone had agreed to it. Everyone swore that they would not let out the secret.
“Do you know why Master Ze is a man of such few words?” Liu Zilang spoke cryptically in a low voice.
“Why?”
“Wasn’t he born that way?”
“Isn’t that what cool Prince Charmings do?”
“…”
Liu Zilang chuckled. “Master Ze used to be a chatterbox. After I joined the team, he was shocked by my looks. He didn’t speak much after that.”
He rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger as he lamented helplessly. “Sigh, sometimes I worry over the fact that my natural-born face gives me unfair advantages over others.”
The viewers in the live stream channel could not take it anymore!
The comments in the bullet screen changed direction from praise to mockery.
Liu Zilang felt a little more at home looking at the comments. He smiled and said, “That’s more like it. Envy is your true nature. I don’t blame you guys, sometimes I’m even envious of myself.”
The makeup crew standing behind him was shocked by how he interacted with his viewers!
They were frequent visitors to live streams. Some of them were even streamers themselves, though they were far less popular than him.
All of the streamers they knew showered their fans with platitudes and fantastic promises. They had yet seen someone mock their viewers like that.
Qin Xuanxuan did not say a word about Liu Zilang’s behavior. Instead, she looked at her wristwatch and then clapped her hands to gain everyone’s attention.
“It’s almost time. Everyone get ready, it’s Jianghai U Cos Club’s turn soon.”
“What’s the rush?” Liu Zilang asked.
“Yup. There’s a competition,” Qin Xuanxuan replied.
“Competition?” Liu Zilang looked at himself with unease. “I won’t let you down, right?”
“No worries, it’s a small competition. Camaraderie is more important.” Qin Xuanxuan smiled.
Other cosplayers came out of their respective changing rooms. Other than Qin Xuanxuan’s Pikachu, Liu Zilang saw many people in weird costumes.
There was Deadpool with twin katanas on his back, a girl in a 2B costume holding a longsword, a red-haired Himura Kenshin with a reverse blade katana slung to his waist, and a Gintoki Sakata with a wooden sword…
Liu Zilang saw that all those characters were carrying some sort of weapon or prop. He looked at his empty hands and felt like he was missing something.
While leaving the changing room, he happened to see a big cool sword leaning against a corner.
‘What’s that?’ Liu Zilang scratched his head.
‘Well, as long as it looks cool.’
Following that, he caught up with the crowd, a selfie stick in one hand while a replica of Frostmourne in the other…
…
It has to be mentioned that Qin Xuanxuan had a good eye for aesthetics. The procession of cosplayers had above-average features.
The makeup and costumes gave their appearances a boost as well. They were in the limelight as soon as they walked to their stage.
Many people were attracted by this group of cosplayers led by someone in a Pikachu suit. They came over to take photos.
“Wow! That’s the Pikachu cosplay group of Jianghai U!”
“Does the club president have some sort of weird fetish? I always see her in a Pikachu suit at conventions.”
“LOLOLOL, but the quality of Jianghai U cosplayers is always high.”
“That 2B cosplayer looks pretty good… Oh no, is this my heart throbbing?”
“I took a look at the list of cosplayers. I think she’s actually a boy.”
“…”
“The rest are pretty good though.”
“Oh my! They even have Haruka Kasugano? That guy does look like him.”
“Pfft! What’s up with that Frostmourne though… Haruka Kasugano is going to go on a murder spree?”
“Oh? Don’t you think the Haruka Kasugano cosplayer looks somewhat familiar? ”
“…”
Once the group reached the stage, they were surrounded by a crowd.
The majority of cosplayers in the group were male, and most of the people crowded around their stage were girls. They lifted their smartphones high to take photos.
“So much eye candy! It was worth the trip!”
“I told you that there were many cute boys here! That Kenshin looks so cool!”
“I think the Haruka Kasugano exudes a comfortable warmth. He looks so gentle.”
The male otakus crowded around overheard the girls’ discussion, and they roared in their hearts!
‘Dammit!
‘With a sword as big as that, which part of him looks gentle?
‘What a superficial world…
‘So fat otakus don’t deserve any love?’
Someone in the crowd quickly recognized Vic in his costume.
“F*ck! The one with the selfie stick… isn’t that Vic?”
“Wait… he really is!”
“Oh my god, I couldn’t recognize him in his clothes… I mean, in his costume!”
“Dear me, Vic is cosplaying Haruka Kasugano? Isn’t he admitting something?”
“A sis-con through and through. I can’t believe he’s such an animal!”
“Looks like we cannot delay our Project Rescue Xiaotong-chan.”
“Defeat the evil Vic! Protect our Xiaotong-chan!”
“…”
The people around the stage rallied in indignation!
As Liu Zilang was changing into a different pose with his Frostmourne, he saw two familiar faces approaching him.
