Even though the boss in the weird mascot costume moved quickly, the sheer number of people in line meant it took half an hour before it was Ye Shuang and his group's turn.
"That took a long time, but it seems everyone here is quite patient." Ye Shuang swept his gaze around and noticed that the people waiting in line ahead of them were chatting and laughing, seemingly unbothered by a half-hour wait.
It seemed they were very used to queuing. Ye Shuang, on the other hand, wasn't really the type to enjoy waiting in line. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he usually opted for places with immediate service over shops with long queues.
Finally, it was their turn.
The Pikachu boss looked at Ye Shuang's group with its plastic eyes, then simply said, "Pika."
"Uh..." Ye Shuang looked at the Pikachu who wasn't speaking human language at all. Just as he was about to ask for the price, Tang Keke reached out her hand from the side. "Thank you, boss! Please draw this for me!"
The Pikachu lowered its head to look.
It turned out Tang Keke was holding a group picture filled almost entirely with Naruto characters—dozens of them, in fact.
Pikachu: "..."
It wasn't just the Pikachu boss; even Ye Shuang was rendered speechless. Keke, did you come here just to make things difficult for the boss?
How could anyone draw dozens of characters using pancake batter?
"Tap, tap." To Ye Shuang's surprise, the boss simply patted a nearby board with its furry yellow paw. "Pi."
Written on it was: One hundred yuan.
"Here." Tang Keke immediately took out her phone to scan the QR code. She had just been complaining about having no money, but when it came to her turn, she pulled out her wallet with great generosity.
"WeChat Pay received: One hundred yuan."
"Phew—" The Pikachu took a deep breath, and Tang Keke swallowed hard beside it.
The next second, the boss clapped its paws together, and an identical person in a Pikachu costume popped out right next to it!
"Secret technique: Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Both Pikachus struck a muscle-flexing pose.
"The boss multiplied into two?!" Tang Keke exclaimed in surprise.
The customers waiting in line behind them all poked their heads out, letting out a collective "Oh?"
The two Pikachus worked together in perfect harmony, quickly sketching out what Tang Keke had requested. Of course, since it was made of batter, it couldn't be a perfect replica, but it was still incredibly impressive.
"Ohhhhh!" Tang Keke watched excitedly, snapping photos before carefully taking the boxed pancake into her hands.
"Thank you."
"Thank the sliced slime," one of the Pikachus said.
Tang Keke froze for a moment and scratched her head. "Boss, did you just speak?"
"Pi."
"Alright, my bad, I must have misheard." Tang Keke contentedly accepted her pancake. Now, it was Ye Shuang's turn.
Ye Shuang didn't have any particular favorite anime characters, but seeing how skilled the boss was, he pointed to himself and Bai Yuyou. "Could you draw a chibi version of us?"
Pikachu: "..."
The boss fell silent for a moment before finally nodding.
"Thank you."
It only cost fifty yuan. Ye Shuang stood together with Bai Yuyou, and the boss quickly drew the pancake. Accompanied by the faint aroma of batter, Ye Shuang's eyes fell upon the chibi figures.
They were quite cute. It showed him holding Bai Yuyou's little hand, and Yuyou was drawn looking especially adorkable.
"Alright, let's go." After packing up the pancake, Ye Shuang turned and left with the two girls.
The two Pikachus silently watched their retreating backs.
A few seconds later, with a swish, a "Closed" sign appeared on the stall, and the two Pikachus waddled away.
"Eh?!" The long line of customers behind them were dumbfounded.
Wait, what.
...
"Walking around is actually pretty fun, even though it's mostly just looking at exhibits." Ye Shuang continued strolling with the two girls. However, since there weren't any characters he particularly liked here, he wasn't nearly as fanatic as Keke.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to go grab something to eat first?" Ye Shuang asked, considering they had been out for a few hours already.
"I'm okay, I ate a lot of snacks just now so I'm not hungry," Tang Keke said while fiddling with the merchandise she had bought, before setting it down like a precious treasure.
Hearing that Tang Keke wasn't hungry, Ye Shuang looked over at Bai Yuyou. She still had a candied hawthorn stick in her mouth. In response to his inquiry, she merely blinked her beautiful eyes innocently. Not only that, but she was also carrying a large bag of snacks in her hand.
Hmm...
It seemed neither of them was hungry.
"There's quite a crowd gathered over there." Ye Shuang suddenly noticed two rings of photographers surrounding something outside the exhibition hall. This made him curious enough to peer inside.
When a flash of blonde hair caught his eye, Ye Shuang finally realized that the person being swarmed for photos was actually Alice.
Ye Shuang wasn't entirely surprised to see Alice here. As a model, it made sense that she would frequently attend events like this.
Today, Alice was still sporting her signature twin-tails, but she was dressed up as a little devil. Although she didn't have much of a figure, the outfit gave her an indescribably cute vibe.
If Alice was here...
Ye Shuang instinctively searched for Bobo. He quickly spotted Bobo and several other bodyguards standing not far from Alice. As a former child star and a major internet celebrity, Alice definitely had a lot of offline fans, so it was no wonder Bobo wasn't her only bodyguard.
However, Bobo had matched Alice by wearing a pink suit. Paired with his tower-like height, it created an indescribable sense of contrast.
"Lady Alice, could you insult us?" Just then, some photographers started jeering.
"Please scold us!" Voices echoed one after another.
"Hah? You actually want me to insult you? Do you all have some kind of masochistic fetish or something? Perverts." Alice wore a look of utter disgust and waved them off. "Get lost!"
"Yes, yes, that's exactly the expression!" A few photographers grew excited.
"Hah? What expression?"
Standing to the side, Ye Shuang thought: "..."
He really was getting old; he couldn't quite keep up with the world anymore.
Just as Ye Shuang was lamenting this, Alice spotted him in the crowd at a glance. She immediately flashed her little canine teeth. "Hmph, has a Mere Chair finally noticed my charm?"
But as it happened, Ye Shuang's gaze wasn't on Alice at that moment; he was looking over at Bobo's direction—
"Hah?!"
Alice's small face instantly puffed up. As if thinking of something, her eyes lit up, and she trotted over toward Ye Shuang.
"Hmm?"
