Chapter 62: The Blue Chubby Guy
“Already nine-thirty…”
When people are seriously focused on doing something, they usually don’t notice the passage of time.
Pu Tong was exactly like that.
Whenever he was solving problems or reading books, he often ended up staying awake until very late.
His mute restriction should have ended by now, right?
Pu Tong stood up, poured himself a cup of boiled water, and casually glanced at the group [If You Get a Partner, Leave the Group Yourself].
The group had been quiet for a long time.
After all, besides him, there were only three girls.
It was impossible to always have something to talk about.
He scrolled up through the chat history.
The last few messages were still from Yi Zhi Xuenai at eight o’clock.
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[I posted the first chapter. You guys can go give it a like.]
That meant the first chapter of the manga had already been published for an hour?
Since this was a story he had brought over from another world, Pu Tong was a little curious about what kind of reaction this manga would receive.
Pu Tong:
[@Yi Zhi Xuenai, what platform did you post it on? I’ll go take a look.]
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[It’s only a few pictures, so I just casually posted it.
But I clearly stated that reposting is prohibited.
Weibo, Bilibili, and overseas platforms all have it…]
Pu Tong almost forgot that this girl was still an international friend.
She probably had quite a lot of fans overseas too.
Yu Wanwan:
[I checked Weibo. The comments are basically all praising how well Xuenai draws.]
Of course, Xuenai’s drawings really were good.
But fan comments were still somewhat unreliable.
If it was a celebrity, even if they drew a stick figure, fans would probably praise them for having amazing artistic skills…
It was all just a fan filter.
It was like when someone’s favorite celebrity released a new drama.
The comment section would definitely have people saying:
“I’m just an ordinary passerby, but I feel his acting skills are amazing and very emotional!”
Then when you opened that person’s profile…
You would discover they were a major fan account in that celebrity’s fan community.
If you wanted to know a more accurate and objective evaluation, you had to find truly neutral viewers.
First, Pu Tong ignored Weibo’s fan-controlled comment section.
He directly opened Bilibili.
A website focused on anime and manga should have more objective opinions, right?
The original Pu Tong was a normal social person and did not use Bilibili much.
His account level was only Lv4.
Pu Tong searched for Yi Zhi Xuenai.
However, the top related account was:
“Yi Zhi Xuenai_official”
After opening it, he saw the verification:
Actress and singer Yi Zhi Xuenai.
This Japanese girl really knew what she was doing…
Originally, the suffix “official” was used to distinguish official accounts from people who simply used the same name.
It told people:
“This is the real account, don’t confuse it with other users.”
But because many people started using it as a joke, the suffix gradually became associated with the anime community.
Pu Tong casually followed her.
Then he saw Yi Zhi Xuenai’s newest post.
Doraemon
Author: Yi Zhi Xuenai, Pu Tong.
No reposting allowed.
Copyright belongs to the owners.
Violators will be held responsible.

She actually added his name.
Now Doraemon had become a two-author work just like the original manga.
Doraemon was originally created and published through the cooperation of Fujiko F. Fujio’s two creators, Hiroshi Fujimoto and Motoo Abiko.
In a sense, this could also be considered a tribute to the classic.
Pu Tong had already read the manga content.
What interested him more was the feedback in the comments.
First comment:
“Xuenai, as a public figure, you should spread positive energy and guide people toward the correct path, not directly guide me into the palace of marriage! (tsundere)”
Are you dreaming or something…
Second comment:
“Seems like a really interesting setting.”
“This blue chubby guy is also very cute.”
“But why is he called Doraemon?”
Good question.
Why was Doraemon called Doraemon?
Even Pu Tong, who was basically copying from another world, did not know.
Not to mention everyone else.
Therefore, nobody could answer that person’s question.
Fourth comment:
“Xuenai is so dumb, she definitely couldn’t think of this kind of sci-fi setting.”
“This idea must have come from Pu Tong!”
Fifth comment:
“Why does Doraemon’s hand look like a round meat ball?”
“Did Xuenai get lazy when drawing?”
Sixth comment:
“Don’t you think drawing fingers would look strange?”
“This is actually cuter.”
Seventh comment:
“I’m the original third commenter.”
“My previous comment was reported, but I still want to say…”
“I am Yi Zhi Xuenai’s dog!”
Eighth comment:
“Get this embarrassing person out of here!”
This was exactly what Pu Tong imagined the anime community would be like…
Overall, most people in the comments were interested in the sci-fi setting.
After all, the first chapter was mainly introducing the concept.
It was impossible to create a huge wave immediately.
If they wanted this IP to truly become popular, they would need all kinds of strange ideas and stories later…
Of course, everything depended on one thing:
Whether this lazy Japanese girl could continue drawing.
Pu Tong:
[Update reminder!]
Pu Tong:
[What time is it already? Why aren’t you drawing yet? Hurry up and draw!]
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[Shocked.jpg]
She actually got pressured for updates?
Couldn’t she just live peacefully as a lazy person anymore?
Pu Tong:
[Go draw.
When you update, I’ll teach you Doraemon’s theme song.]
Yu Wanwan:
[This thing has a theme song too?]
Isn’t this just a story he randomly imagined?
How could it even have its own song?
Pu Tong didn’t really care.
This song was special.
It was originally created specifically for Doraemon.
It probably wouldn’t be useful anywhere else.
More importantly…
He had just discovered that Yi Zhi Xuenai’s last Bilibili upload was three months ago.
If this lazy person continued disappearing, her fans might all leave.
Giving her a song to increase her presence was a good idea.
Besides…
For a children’s song like this, it was obviously better to let a girl sing it!
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[I don’t believe you.
Unless you sing a few lines first…]
Yu Wanwan:
[+1]
Lin Yuxi:
[+1]
Trying to bargain with him?
Pu Tong:
[Draw if you want!]
Pu Tong put down his phone and continued studying.
Pu Tong chose to ignore them and continued studying.
Ever since he received Zhang Binyan’s phone call, he realized that his homeroom teacher also had certain expectations for him.
This gave him even more motivation to study.
As a student, having a teacher place high hopes on you was definitely something worth being happy about…
Study time passed quickly.
When Pu Tong finally started yawning, he realized it was already very late.
“Already eleven o’clock?”
Considering that he still had to go jogging the next morning, Pu Tong decided to rest early.
While washing up, he glanced at the group and discovered that the girls were discussing answers to their holiday homework.
It had really become a homework-sharing group now.
Pu Tong:
[All you do every day is copy homework. Can’t you study properly?]
Yu Wanwan:
[Oh, right.]
Yu Wanwan:
[Send yours over so I can take a look…]
Having a good student as your deskmate…
Not copying their homework would be a waste.
Pu Tong:
[Beg me.]
Yu Wanwan:
[Please, send it over and let me take a look.]
So straightforward?
No matter what, copying homework was not something worth encouraging.
But who had never copied homework before?
When the study committee collected assignments, classmates copying homework beside each other was something completely normal, right?
Pu Tong took pictures of his homework and sent them over.
At the same time, he reminded them that copying homework was a bad habit…
Just like cigarette boxes saying:
“Smoking is harmful to your health.”
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[Why is there so much? I don’t want to write anymore.]
Lin Yuxi:
[Are you thinking about saying: “Teacher, I did it but forgot to bring it”?]
In that situation, the teacher would probably make the student go home and get it immediately…
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[If I don’t finish my homework, I feel uneasy.
When I feel uneasy, I can’t sleep.
When I can’t sleep, I have no energy the next day.
When I have no energy, I fall asleep in class.
When I sleep in class, I don’t learn anything.
When I don’t learn anything, I won’t know how to do my homework.
Then I become unable to sleep again…
This repeats endlessly.
Therefore, to completely eliminate this vicious cycle, I have decided not to do homework.]
Pu Tong:
[666]
What a genius of twisted logic!
Yu Wanyuan and Yi Zhi Xuenai stopped chatting.
It seemed they were currently writing furiously.
Judging by the time, they probably needed another half hour.
Pu Tong:
[There are so many wishes in my heart.
How wonderful it would be if they could come true.
Only Doraemon can help me achieve my dreams…]
He sent a voice message.
It happened to be one line from the Chinese Doraemon theme song.
Lin Yuxi:
[?]
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[?]
After silently saving the voice message, Yu Wanwan replied with a question mark.
It really was the theme song.
But why did it sound like a children’s song?
This style was completely different from his previous creations.
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[The melody is actually quite nice.
It has that childlike fantasy feeling.]
Pu Tong:
[Finish drawing the second chapter within one week and I’ll give you the full version.]
Yi Zhi Xuenai:
[You’re too shameless!]
Pu Tong smiled and said nothing.
After hearing this Doraemon song, he felt like his childhood memories had returned.
Time passed quickly.
People grew up.
But those beautiful childhood memories would never disappear.
No matter what…
Doraemon had always been his childhood dream.
It was also an unforgettable memory that could never be erased.
Everything began from that encounter.
“Hello, Nobita.”
“My name is Doraemon.”
