“Done and dusted.” Ye Lingchen turned off Weibo then turned to face Sister Lin and Xiao Feifei. They looked at him speechlessly and smiled bashfully.

“Your Weibo fan count just doubled. How do you attract fans through anything you do? I am a little bit jealous.” Xiao Feifei said, glaring slightly at Ye Lingchen.

She still recalled when he first came to Beijing, Ye Lingchen relied on the issue of the road scam to fan the flames on Tik Tok. At the time if Ye Lingchen had stepped forward and admitted his identity, taking in more than 100,000 fans would not be impossible.

However, who would have thought that now, just by relying on throwing insults Ye Lingchen could attract fans. That was frankly terrifying.

“I can’t help it. Sometimes being too talented is a curse in itself.” Ye Lingchen said as he shook his head in dismay.


Xiao Feifei did not reply and only rolled her eyes.

However, differing from Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei, Sister Lin’s brows were constantly furrowed, and she sighed softly, “Even if you won the insult feud, Shi Lei has already achieved his goal, the shameless assh*le!”

“What’s wrong?”

“He always intended to ride on Y’s popularity, and now that the flames had reached their zenith, he has successfully publicized his movie,”

“The old fox!” huffed Xiao Feifei.

Shi Lei had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and had an arsenal of gimmicks and tricks up his sleeve.

“He intends to step on me to gain publicity? I’m sorry, but he’s getting ahead of himself!” Ye Lingchen’s eyes flashed slightly, as he mumbled to himself.

Following that, Ye Lingchen and Xiao Feifei chatted idly for a while more, before they both got up to say goodbye.

After sending the two wolf pups back to the hostel, Ye Lingchen’s 3 roommates were not back yet. They probably were watching the special Basketball training.

With nothing to do, Ye Lingchen went to a cyber cafe and played 2 games of DOTA with Coold. Throughout those games, the number 666 was spammed in the chat by fans who watched his stream. Then, at 7 sharp, he live-streamed “Grave Robber’s Chronicles”.


At 9 the live stream ended and Ye Lingchen went home.

It would seem that no matter what he did he’d encounter a bottleneck, and it was the same with gaining popularity.

After a few big stories, Ye Lingchen’s popularity growth had stalled. This was a perfectly understandable situation since, without any new incidents or content, growth would stagnate.

As he walked, Ye Lingchen thought hard about how to increase his popularity.

Since he refused to reveal his face, he was greatly limited in his ability to partake in normal activities like a normal star.

He wanted to be famous, but if he didn’t stir the pot for a long time, he would very quickly become irrelevant and forgotten.

Continuing to do live streams was a method of getting there, but it was a pity that his growth in popularity was not as exponential as when he first started.

How about… writing a novel?

If it came to it, pretend to be superhuman?

Ye Lingchen was looking forward to developing and raising his rank in knowledge and proficiencies. If the basic level was already this impressive, how much more impressive would the intermediate and advanced proficiencies be?


Popularity… What could he do to find more popularity?

It was not like he had not thought about revealing his face, but he had the Prodigy System. When under the scrutiny of countless numbers of people, it was inevitable that slip-ups would occur. Should that happen and were he to be detained to be experimented on, the secret of the System would no longer be kept safe.

The safest course of action would be to stand out when he could protect himself.

Regardless, right now he needed to stay low key.

“D*mn! What a piece of ass!”

“For a woman like that, if I were to die after I slept with her just once, it would be worth it!”

“Wait! Isn’t this the Tik Tok star, Chen Xiaoyan? This is our lucky night!”

These 3 voices were all trembling, as though they had stumbled upon some treasure.

“Quickly! Carry her away!”

“Tonight I’m going to die from pleasure, the heavens finally heeded my prayers!”


“Three years is a bargain, even the death penalty is worth it!”

Ye Lingchen frowned slightly and followed the sound of the voices. He saw 3 men surrounding a woman, with voracious smiles on their faces.

The lady wore an evening gown of deep red and in the darkness, it was extremely eye-catching.

Her physique was exquisite, with large breasts and wide hips. Her body exuded an air of liveliness and sophistication, but right now there was also an air of sorrow. However, that made her beauty all the more alluring.

At a closer glance, her face was petite, her limbs delicate. Her skin was like jade, and her eyes seemed slightly disoriented like someone who drank too much.

Her face was flushed from alcohol, and she was so beautiful it moved the heart.

“Get away! I said get away!”

Weak, small hands pushed against the 3 men powerlessly, her tone of voice weak and helpless.

Taking advantage of a drunk woman?

That was the first thought that sprung into Ye Lingchen’s mind.


There were not only cyber cafes, but also bars around the area, and in no small number.

This woman was obviously drunk, and these men thought that they could take advantage of her.

To get this drunk in the middle of the night, this woman truly… does not love herself!

Ye Lingchen shook his head. He wasn’t a busybody, but perhaps because of the sorrow in her face, and also because he could not bear to see this beautiful woman violated, he stepped forward.

“Come on! Pretty lady, what’s the point of getting drunk alone, let’s have some fun!”

“Hahaha stop dragging, I can’t wait!”

“Come on! Pretty lady, I’ll bring you for some fun.”

As the three perverts stretched out their grubby hands and were about to forcefully have their way, a loud explosive shout pierced the scene!

“Stop right there, let the girl go!”

Huh?

The three men’s faces showed shock at first. However, when they saw Ye Lingchen, the shock gave way to disdain.

“Where did this brat come from, and how dare he ruin my parade. Get lost!”

“Kid, do you want to be a white knight? You’re a bit too small aren’t you?”

Ye Lingchen’s face was composed, and he spoke calmly, “If all of you leave quietly now, I can pretend nothing happened.”

“Leave quietly? What’s that?” The three men looked confused.

“That means… get lost!”

“F*ck, you’ve got a death wish!”

“He dares to challenge us, this brat is tired of living!”

Facing the three men whose faces were full of anger, Ye Lingchen extended one hand forwards, his back straight. A breeze blew, and his clothes fluttered, making him look like a master of old.

“What the f*ck, he’s just a retard. He can’t possibly think he’s a martial arts expert!”

“This little b*stard wants to kill us through laughter?”

In the next moment-

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three men were on the floor, with large lumps on their foreheads, their noses bruised and faces swollen. They were out cold.

The entire world went quiet.

“Hero.” Chen Xiaoyan pointed at Ye Lingchen with drunk eyes, her beautiful face wearing a stupid grin, “No, that’s not right, it’s martial arts expert!”

“Heheh, martial arts expert…”

The next moment, with the stench of alcohol mixed with perfume piercing Ye Lingchen’s nostrils, Chen Xiaoyan had collapsed into his arms.

“Thank you for saving me, I have nothing to give in return. I can only offer my body, and hope that my hero does not reject it.” Having finished that, she smiled dimly to herself.

Ye Lingchen frowned. He wanted to leave but had no way to just leave Chen Xiaoyan like this.

He had no option but to bring her to a nearby hotel.

Under the judgmental eyes of the hotel manager, Ye Lingchen got a room.

Looking at the time, it was 10.10 pm. If he left now he might just make it back to the University before the hostel doors were locked.

However, Chen Xiaoyan kept her arms wrapped around Ye Lingchen.

“Men are trash! And you’re no different!” she mumbled, “The songwriter, the composer, the videographer, the producer, every one of them have ulterior motives with me. Ah ah ah, these bad men, don’t even think about it! It’s no big deal if I quit! Even though you too are trash, I’d rather wh*re myself to you than to them!”

Those words… Ye Lingchen could not accept them, was he that bad?

Shaking his head, he tried to push Chen Xiaoyan and leave, but his hands were held tightly by Chen Xiaoyan.
