Chapter 57

"Pah! Isn't it just that you want to go to the anime convention to play? Why do you have to drag Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue into it?"

Boss Yang rolled her eyes at Su Meng and ruthlessly exposed him.

"You're going to follow? Do you even know how to play clappers?"

Su Meng sneered.

"Not only do I know how to play clappers, I can play clappers that others don't know, for example..."

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, have you heard the traditional clapper piece 'Three Heroes Battle Kakashi'?"

What? The group was instantly dumbfounded.

I've heard of 'Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu', but 'Three Heroes Battle Kakashi'? What the hell is this?

Su Meng stood with his hands behind his back, steady as a mountain, a true master's demeanor.

"'Neji Battles the Nine-Tails', 'Pain Invades Konoha City', 'Great Destruction of the Akatsuki Organization', 'Eight Gates Opened Might Guy', 'Rock Lee Drunkenly Beats Kimimaro'..."

"'Ultraman Battles Little Monsters', 'One Piece Eliminates Tyrants', 'Mario Saves the Beauty', 'Grim Reaper Edogawa', 'Shin-chan Eliminates Tyrants'..."

"Have you heard these traditional clapper pieces?"

What? Traditional... clapper pieces?

What the hell is this?!

At the scene and in the livestream, countless people were completely bewildered...

In the teahouse, Guo Dagang and Uncle Yu looked at each other, then lowered their heads in deep thought.

After a long time, Uncle Yu raised his head and asked suspiciously.

"Old Guo, you also know I'm not very good at clappers."

"How come I've never heard of these pieces Su Meng mentioned?"

Guo Dagang frowned tightly and shook his head slowly.

"I consider myself well-informed in this industry, but I have never heard of these pieces."

"Could they be long-lost old pieces?"

"Truly, one learns until one is old~."

Uncle Yu thought for a moment and took out his phone.

"I'll ask my master to see if he knows."

A moment later, the call connected, and Uncle Yu said respectfully.

"Master, how is your health lately?"

"I'm calling today because I want to ask you a question."

"There are a few traditional clapper pieces I want to ask you about the origin of."

"They're called 'Three Heroes Battle Kakashi', 'Neji Battles the Nine-Tails', 'Great Destruction of the Akatsuki Organization'..."

As one of the people in charge of Bilibili, Xia Xia Qingqing was already busy to the point of exhaustion.

Bilibili exists in this world too, dominating the ACG video website market, and this anime convention was organized by Bilibili.

Suddenly, her phone rang, and the anxious voice of her subordinate came through.

"Sister Xia, a large number of people have gathered in front of the exhibition center!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Why aren't you guiding them in? Pay attention to safety."

"No, no, Sister Xia, they aren't here for the anime convention!"

The subordinate's voice became even more anxious.

"Not here for the anime convention?" Xia Xia Qingqing asked suspiciously.

"Isn't our anime convention the only one being held at the Pinghe Exhibition Center today?"

"Are there other events?"

"No, no, they are here to see the stars!"

"Stars?" Xia Xia Qingqing's expression turned serious.

"Did any exhibitor invite stars today?"

"Oh, Sister Xia, they are here to see Su Meng, Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, Boss Yang, and Liu Liu Liu Tianxian!"

"I can't explain it clearly, I'll send you a video."

Saying this, the subordinate hurriedly hung up the phone.

Holy crap? Su Meng, Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, Boss Yang, Liu Liu Liu Tianxian?

Xia Xia Qingqing was instantly startled.

How could stars of this level appear at an anime convention?

Which exhibitor has such deep pockets?

But this is an anime convention, a grand event for the 2D world; these 3D big stars don't seem to fit, right?

Before Xia Xia Qingqing could figure it out, her phone lit up.

After watching for a moment, Xia Xia Qingqing was stunned.

"Clappers?"

"'Ultraman Battles Little Monsters', 'One Piece Eliminates Tyrants', 'Mario Saves the Beauty', 'Grim Reaper Edogawa'..."

"What the hell is this?"

"When was the dimensional wall between the 2D and 3D worlds broken?"

"Is this cosplay? It's my first time seeing it up close."

Deng Deng Deng Ziqi looked around curiously, looking like someone who had never seen the world.

The others were having a group activity today, and she had followed along.

It's more interesting following Su Meng; as for her partner Hua Hua Chenyu... who is that?

Not just her, Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, Liu Liu Liu Tianxian, and Boss Yang were the same.

On the contrary, Su Meng, who was leading, looked calm.

"They're here, they're here!"

Sharp-eyed fans saw them from afar and shouted in surprise.

A crowd swarmed over instantly, including fans and some people who originally intended to attend the anime convention.

There were even some cosplayers in the middle.

Su Meng cupped his hands toward the surroundings happily and said loudly.

"Friends, I'm here to perform today."

"I'll put in the effort later, and I hope you all will support me. Those with money, give money; those without, give your presence."

"Good! Good performance!" Many people in the crowd cheered in unison.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue was stunned.

How does Su Meng's posture look more professional than mine?

No, what did he even say? And you guys are shouting 'good performance'?

Isn't this audience affinity a bit too good?

Su Meng cleared his throat and was just about to start playing the clappers when someone in the crowd shouted.

"Teacher Su, can you wait a moment?"

Su Meng looked toward the sound and saw someone walk in, saying sincerely.

"Teacher Su, my name is Xia Xia Qingqing, and I'm the person in charge of today's anime convention."

"I see you want to perform, but since this is outdoors, the effect isn't very good."

"We have a professional stage inside the convention; why don't you move inside?"

Su Meng glanced at the surrounding fans and was about to speak when Xia Xia Qingqing added first.

"I know you want to perform for the fans, but there are too many people here, and the people in the back can't hear clearly."

"I have already made temporary adjustments. Today's anime convention is free, and we have already notified those who bought tickets to get a refund."

"What do you think..."

A straightforward person!

Su Meng looked at her unexpectedly; sure enough, those who can reach this position are not ordinary people.

After thinking for a moment, Su Meng nodded and said.

"Performing inside is fine, but we have to talk about the performance fee."

Xia Xia Qingqing felt bitter inside.

She originally wanted to ride the wave of popularity, but speaking of appearance fees... with these big stars, wouldn't the fee be astronomical?

Before she could speak, Su Meng had already started calculating seriously.

"I am the master, the appearance fee is 500 yuan a day!"

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue is the little master, 100 yuan is enough."

"The other three are just tag-alongs, don't worry about them."

"A total of 600 yuan, pay up!"

What?

Xia Xia Qingqing and the surrounding fans were all stunned.

You five big names only want 600 yuan?

Holy crap, can I pay for a month? No, can I pay for a year?

Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue was numb.

Big brother, I'm the professional at playing clappers, okay? How come you're the master and I'm the little master?

The three big actresses on the side were even more resentful.

You're at least a little master, 100 yuan a day, but we three have become tag-alongs, okay?!

There were many people sitting in the main hall of the Deyun Society.

Guo Guo Qilin looked at this one, then at that one, and then looked up at the TV.

Under the encouraging gazes of many fellow apprentices, he finally spoke weakly.

"Dad, Master, did you call everyone here just to watch Brother Yue's performance?"

Guo Dagang shook his head and said seriously.

"I didn't have you come today to watch Xiao Xiao Xiao Yueyue, but to watch Su Meng."

Su Meng? The group looked at each other, completely confused.

This doesn't have anything to do with our crosstalk circle, right?

Uncle Yu was also rarely serious and added an explanation.

"Su Meng will perform a few traditional clapper pieces in a moment."

"These pieces should be long-lost old pieces."

"Not to mention your master and me, even my master has never heard of them."

"So I called you here specifically for you to learn!"

Su Meng's traditional clapper pieces?

Among the apprentices, the corners of several people's mouths twitched wildly.

Qin Qin Xiaoxian even blurted out.

"Master, the clapper piece Su Meng is talking about... he... he... would you two mind not listening?"

"Qin Qin Xiaoxian..." Guo Dagang's voice became a bit displeased.

"How many times have I told you? One learns until one is old, have you forgotten?"

"Your ability isn't great, but your temper is quite big!"

"Deduct 600 yuan from your bonus!"

Qin Qin Xiaoxian stiffened, his face tearful, tears almost flowing out.

Master, I was just afraid you'd be angered to death?

I'm doing this for your own good, why can't you distinguish loyalty from treachery?

And you're deducting my money?

I'm already paying to work now, okay?

Many people cast sympathetic glances.

Guo Guo Qilin breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, he blocked the knife, otherwise...

Huh? My dad shouldn't have heart disease, right?

What's the number for 120 again?

Su Meng's ad-libbing is quite good, I wonder if he can...

At the anime convention, hearing that five big stars had suddenly descended, everyone went crazy.

They surged toward the stage in the middle.

Making those exhibitors stomp their feet and curse.

Damn it! Why is the company so stingy and not arrange more people?

That way I could be lazy and go watch the stars...

On the stage, Su Meng stood in the middle happily.

At this moment, he was wearing a long gown, which made him look even more extraordinary.

Making little stars appear in the eyes of many young girls in the audience.

Su Meng bowed to the audience and said with a smile.

"Apprentice Su Meng, bowing on stage!"

"Today I will perform a traditional clapper piece for everyone, 'Three Heroes Battle Kakashi'!"

Hahaha... hearing this, everyone in the audience laughed until they were bent over.

Who attending an anime convention doesn't know who Kakashi is?

Traditional clapper piece 'Three Heroes Battle Kakashi'?

When did 'Naruto' infiltrate the crosstalk world?

I thought you were just joking yesterday, but you're actually doing it for real?

Pitter-patter... pitter-patter...

Su Meng didn't care; he shook his hands, and the clappers rang out obediently.

Huh?

In the Deyun Society, many people let out a soft sound at the same time.

An expert shows their skill, and you know if it's real.

Although it was just a few simple taps, to their ears, the rhythm and melody came out instantly.

Hiss...

A moment later, many people gasped at the same time.

Su Meng's wrists on stage were turning, his movements so fast they were almost invisible.

He was actually playing fancy clappers!

Although his movements were fast, the rhythm and melody were not chaotic at all; on the contrary, they became even more flavorful.

Based on this skill alone, few people in the entire Deyun Society could compare.

Guo Dagang nodded secretly, and a huge expectation rose in his heart.

This is a true clapper expert, so what will the traditional clapper pieces he brings be like?

The sound of the clappers lowered slightly, and Su Meng finally began to sing.

"In the Naruto world, there are many oddities, there is a depressed child Uchiha."
