chapter 18.

[This chapter enters the next volume of the college chapter. All the events in the blank few years will be flashbacked and narrated below, so don’t panic! 】

When the ringtone rang, Xue Youka grabbed the phone and picked it up.

"Hey! Brother?! Have you gotten up? We're going to be late for the Comic Con!"

"Wake up." Xue Youka rubbed the corners of his eyes, sat up from the upper bunk with a head of pink hair like a chicken coop, and stared blankly for a while.

"I've brought all the fake fur and clothes. You can bring your own contact lenses!" said the other end of the phone.

He became more awake: "Ugh, do I need to wear contact lenses again? Can I not wear them?"

"If you had emerald green eyes like Fox Nick, you wouldn't need to wear them."

"Oh." Xue Youka didn't like wearing this. The first time he put it on, he struggled in front of the mirror for several hours before putting it on.

Finally, it took me an hour to remove the contact lenses.

Xue Youka brushed his teeth and stood in front of his desk, with the bulky laptop open and the Oriental Fortune page on the screen.

He looked at today's A-share market for a while and then closed the computer.

While I was wincing in the mirror and putting on my contact lenses, my roommate came out of the bathroom and said, "Hey, Xue Youka, are you going to the Comic Con?"

One month into his freshman year, on the first day Xue Youka entered the dormitory, with his arrogant short pink hair, one of his roommates asked him: "Hi! Are you doing that...y thing?"

"Hey! Yes," he said, "but I'm an amateur."

After putting on the contact lenses, his vision became a little blurry. Xue Youka squinted at the school gate for a long time. Sun Wenhao noticed him first, sat in the car and waved: "Kaka!! Here!!"

"Mouse." Xue Youka bent down and got into the taxi.

"Hey, why did you come out wearing your school's cultural shirt?"

Xue Youka was wearing short-sleeved shirts issued by the school during the first two days of school. The quality was very good, and the T University emblem and school name were printed on the chest.

"Didn't you rush me? I just took something and came out. Anyway, I have to replace it later."

The two were high school classmates and met in the animation club. When he was in high school, Xue Youka was dragged to the comic exhibition by him. In the year of graduation, which was the college entrance examination summer vacation two or three months ago, Sun Wenhao borrowed a set of

I bought Uzumaki Naruto's cosplay suit but never worn it and gave it to Xue Youka, and took him to the comic exhibition - unexpectedly the effect was surprisingly good.

A cheap Y-shirt costing more than 100 yuan, coupled with 30 yuan of golden fake hair, 20 yuan for contact lenses, and a 10 yuan makeup artist...

His copycat cosplay caused dozens of people to take pictures and scream around him at the comic exhibition venue.

The returned picture was tagged #Changsha Comic Exhibition on the same day and was posted on Weibo and Douban by some 2D photographers and passers-by, causing a small-scale sensation in the industry.

"Oh no! Who is this cosplayer!!! I want all his information in five minutes!!!"

"Fuck fuck fuck!! This is the best-looking Naruto cosplay I've ever seen. Oh my god, the face is so realistic!!"

"Does anyone know who this cosplayer is? Oh my god, he's so handsome!!"

"Heart attack! I want to know who he is? Is there any kind person who can give me some directions?"

"Is it er Zhisuo?"

"...This is not a person at all! Are you blind upstairs? Although this Naruto who knows nothing about cosplay is not ugly, he is not as handsome as the little brother in these pictures?"

Zhisuo is a big v with 400,000 fans, and he can be regarded as a big figure in the coser circle.

And Sun Wenhao was originally a small fan of Zhisuo. After the Changsha Comic Exhibition, he suddenly saw fans in the group passionately insulting a shameless 18th-line cosplayer who had landed on the moon and won porcelain. He also joined the battle and cursed for a long time before he found out.

This amazing 18th line cosplayer is his buddy Xue Youka!

"Damn it, brother, this is a bit messy!" Sun Wenhao showed him those photos of Naruto, "Look, there are many people scolding you, they are all Zhisuo fans, you are going to be popular. Hurry up and register one

Weibo, forward this, and then verify it.”

Xue Youka didn't pay attention at first. He just sprayed it when he thought others were spraying it. Anyway, the makeup was so thick and netizens didn't know who he was. Is it possible that they could still come and beat him?

It was Sun Wenhao who told him: "Do you know how much money cosplayers make?"

"Earn more?"

"For example, if someone at Zhisuo's level has 400,000 fans, then his appearance fee at the comic expo will be at least 100,000 per show."

"How many??"

"One hundred thousand."

Xue Youka immediately took out his mobile phone: "How to register for Weibo?"

It's a pity that the popularity has passed a lot at that time. Now the Weibo account named coser Kaka only has 5,000 fans. Sun Wenhao went to a certain Baobao to help him buy more than 10,000 for 10 yuan, which was enough for two

I am a huge fan and even got a certification.

The National Day Comic Exhibition they went to this time was located at the National Convention Center, not far from T University, only seven kilometers away.

In the car, the makeup artist Sun Wenhao found quickly applied makeup on Xue Youka's face. While applying makeup, she said, "Brother, your face is so pretty. I think you will definitely be popular."

The makeup girl is an insider, and the handsome guy in front of me is an unknown 18th-tier cosplayer.

The handsome guy raised his eyes and smiled at her and said thank you.

The makeup girl's heart skipped a beat and she said shyly: "Brother, close your eyes and apply eye shadow for you."

During the morning rush hour, there was a traffic jam on the road. The driver glanced back from time to time: "Are you going to perform?"

"No, Comic Con,y."

"Oh! Comic Expo, I know, make up like an anime character, right?"

During peak hours, the car arrived after driving for half an hour. At this time, the makeup on Xue Youka's face was almost completed. He looked in the mirror and found that the makeup was okay and matched his pink hair, but it was a bit too white.

.

He put a hairnet on his pink fur, put on Fox Nick's orange fake fur on his round and winter-free head, and topped it with two fluffy red fox ears.

——Fox Nick is the male protagonist of the movie "Zootopia". He is in love with Judy Rabbit. He is very recognizable and not easy to bump into. He will be very eye-catching at comic exhibitions.

Arriving at the International Convention Center, there was a sea of ​​people outside the venue, including cosplayers, cute girls, otaku photographers, and animation enthusiasts. This was a two-dimensional event.

After putting on clothes and shoes in the changing room and tidying up, when Xue Youka went out, he was spotted in less than a second.

A passerby entering the bathroom turned to look at him and subconsciously took out his cell phone to take a photo.

A girl passed by him and her eyes were fixed on him. She took out her mobile phone to take pictures and asked the little sister next to her: "This cosplayer is so handsome. Do you know him?"

"I seem to know!" Sun Wenhao suddenly popped up and stood behind the two cute girls. The cute girls were startled and turned around to see it was an uncle. The uncle said: "His Weibo seems to be called coser Kaka. Search it!

"

The fox ears and fox tail worn by Xue Youka are very eye-catching.

After a while, a circle of photographers surrounded him to take pictures. Xue Youka had received training in advance and was not very skilled in posing with a carrot.

"Click——"

As the sound of shutters surrounding him became more and more intensive, music was played on the comic expo stage on the other side, and the host's voice attracted most people's attention.

It turned out that two well-known cosplayers appeared as guests. Xue Youka’s eyes followed the source of the sound. There were two cosplayers, one male and one female. One was Judy the Rabbit and the other was Nick the Fox.

We are both Fox Nicks, and the clothes and fake fur on the stage are more real than those on Xue Youka, and the quality is much better visible to the naked eye. The fox tail on Xue Youka was bought by a certain treasure, and the ears

Twenty-five. I don’t know where Sun Wenhao got the clothes second-hand. They only cost sixty yuan.

There were only colored contact lenses, and the ones Xue Youka bought were more expensive, costing 80 yuan. Last time he bought 20 dollars worth of contact lenses, and after wearing them for a day, he almost went blind.

On the stage, the person cosplaying as Fox Nick had his name displayed on the screen.

coser knows what to do.

"Can this guy be hit?" Sun Wenhao's voice was full of disbelief, followed immediately by ecstasy, and the excitement in his voice could not be concealed, "Xiao Ka, you are going to be hacked again!! Let's rub him

Heat! Rub his bare skin!"

Sun Wenhao was indignant: "Who told his fans to scold you?"

"Aren't you also his fan?" The heat in the venue made Xue Youka feel a little uncomfortable, so he took off his tail to fan himself, and slapped the artificial fur all over his face.

"That was true before, but not anymore. The moment his fans insulted you, I stopped being a fan of him."

When he changed his clothes and left the comic exhibition in the afternoon, half of the makeup on his face had been taken off, but some passers-by mistakenly thought he was Zhisuo and came to ask him for an autograph. Xue Youka explained in a friendly way that he was not: "I think he should

Already left the venue."

Passers-by didn't give up and asked him if he was a famous cosplayer.

In the car, Xue Youka couldn't help but wipe her eyes with her hands. She wore false eyelashes incorrectly and poked her eyes.

"Xiao Ka, don't do it. Go back to the dormitory and take off your makeup."

Xue Youka took off the wig first, and the hair net fell off along with the wig, revealing the pink hair that had been covered all day.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Wenhao squeezed his shoulder, "But I took a lot of good photos for you today. I'll find a photographer to edit them when I go back tonight."

At noon, the two found a deserted place outside the venue and took a set of pictures with a clean background.

However, due to the strong sun, the photos were overexposed, so retouching became troublesome. Sun Wenhao himself could only use beautiful pictures to show off his photos, so he still had to rely on professional retouchers to do the retouching.

"Where are you going to find a photographer?" Xue Youka leaned in front of the taxi's air conditioner to blow cold air.
