In an era where the feedback of readers was blindingly fast, creators did not need to communicate with the readers by letter . They could directly create a group chat or interact with their fans through Weibo .

Naturally, Chen Daxiu had a Weibo account, but he seldom posted there . If anything, he sporadically uploaded pictures of various sports cars that were taken by him . Of course, he would also reply to private messages .

When he decided to draw the character 'Zhao Xiaomei' as a cameo, his readers had reacted like so –

"Woah, this forever alone car guy has finally found himself a girlfriend?"

"This Zhao Xiaomei quite virtuous . She is clearly a rich lady, but she does not have the aura of one . Too bad she's so ugly, hahaha!"

"Beauty is relative . To be honest, once you've gotten used to Master Chen Daxiu's drawing style, Zhao Xiaomei is probably the most beautiful character he's ever done . Nonetheless, we're all here for the cars . He could draw up blueprints for them! Who cares about the characters, just improvise . "

"No matter what, it is fascinating to see a female character appear in this manga for once . Even a single dog would raise a commotion once he gets a look at Master Chen Daxiu's female character style!"

"She's still better than that prost.i.tute . I don't know how you guys felt, but when I first saw the scene, I was disgusted to my core . Sure, you could gloss it over and say, "Meh, she's ugly anyway, who cares if he was cheated on…"Anyway, I am hoping that Master Chen Daxiu would not change his drawing style again and blast us in the face with Zhao Xiaomei's supposed dark history . Don't give us s.h.i.+t like her being a rich wh.o.r.e who would bed any man she finds . "

At first, Chen Daxiu replied to his fans, saying that 'Zhao Xiaomei' would not play any significant role . She would just be a bystander, cheering the main character on .

As he drew, his inspiration just kept coming . He could not help but add more scenes for 'Zhao Xiaomei . ' Then, Zhao Xiaomei's car appeared, and she became a full-time racer . The readers went wild! As one would expect, she quickly became one of the most popular characters in the series .

An already popular work could gain a popular character fairly easily . As long as the character was not a complete pa.s.serby or a cameo, anyone could be popular .

Undoubtedly, Zhao Youyue had made Zhao Xiaomei as prominent and outstanding as she could possibly be . The series had started off with little to no humor, but she had brought a fresh lease of laughter to the readers . There was a realistic chance that this character would become highly popular . On the other hand, attaining iconic status would be rather unlikely .

Zhao Youyue was not a fan of how she had been depicted in the manga . At least, her car was bada.s.s . It moved just as recklessly as she had imagined . This reckless, wild female racer would soon pierce through the fabric of fiction…

The manga's Tieba and manga forums had new threads dedicated solely to this character . Fans felt that this was the most refres.h.i.+ng turn of events the manga had ever seen .

"Zhao Xiaomei is most definitely not a cameo character! I actually think she's super cute . I have never imagined that Master Chen Daxiu could ever produce any intriguing female character!"

"That car is as crazy as its owner . Only she would take it down the mountain . It's so f*cking fierce!"

"Zhao Xiaomei is a f*cking lunatic! She could hardly tell the pedals apart, but she has heart . b.l.o.o.d.y impressive . She is simply one of a kind! It was so hilarious watching the experienced main character scream for life in Zhao Xiaomei's car!"

"This female character had totally exemplified Chen Daxiu's malice against female racers . How much disdain does he feel for female racers?"

"How did you even get there? I think that Master Chen Daxiu is very fond of this character . Anyone else who drove like Zhao Xiaomei would have crashed and died . She could not even tell her brake apart from her accelerator, and nothing happened to her . She's the Balder[1] of racing…"

"Zhao Xiaomei doesn't give sh*t . She's basically doing parkour on wheels . Anyone who watches her races would be scared s.h.i.+tless . If such a female racer existed in the real world, G.o.d help us!"

"I like how she befuddles the main character in like every single one of her appearances! I am looking forward to the next development . Who knows, her blind intuition might just outpace the main guy's technique and skills!"

. . .

Needless to say, readers loved her . Comic relief characters were always a welcome sight, especially in otherwise serious or repet.i.tive series .

Chen Daxiu grew more pa.s.sionate as he drew . How tragic things would get when he picks the pen up one day, only to find that this inspiration had deserted him!

All creators had their bad days . Sometimes, they would be utterly convinced that they would be unstoppable - this fuel would last them a lifetime . They often forget to take into account the fact that humans were vulnerable to fatigue . As they get closer to the end, they would run out of juice . It's a tragedy .

The creators could not be blamed . This was due to Lady Zhao's meddling . She rarely finished up after obtaining what she came for .

That's right . The 'Zhao Xiaomei' highly-popular character card had been produced . In terms of personality, she did not have much to offer . People remembered her for her racing!

It was still unclear as to what extent the card would affect Zhao Youyue in real life . We could be certain that she would never experience a car accident, ever . She could race to her heart's content, and her body would automatically adjust the speed of the car to a borderline safe limit . Her body would also know what to do, by intuition . Others might think that she was being plain suicidal . Zhao Youyue would be in her comfort zone .

However, Zhao Youyue would not see much use of this card . After all, she did not like street racing . She had a chauffeur of her own . If anything, this could be another sacrificial offering . She could use it to earn an iconic character from another world…

Zhao Youyue never expected to actually have a reason to use this character card . Apparently, her cousin Zhao Wei was up to another one of his lousy ideas and needed a talented racer!
