Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Please start your performance

After a moment of silence, the class chat group exploded instantly!

“Whoa, this can’t be real, right? Although the results are out, isn’t the university preference filled in the day after tomorrow?”

“How can you be admitted to Tsinghua without even filling in your preference? This must be fake. Even if you scored such high marks, they can’t admit you without knowing your choice.”

“Why don’t you take a look at who the person on this is…”

“Oh oh, I get it, I get it.”

Once everyone saw that the results belonged to Lin Yi, they all tacitly understood. It was just the super slacker from their own class; how could he possibly get such scores?

No need to think; it’s just a Photoshopped image.

However, just when everyone was sure it was fake, the class teacher Xu Zhe suddenly spoke in the group:

“Everyone, quiet down, I have good news… This year, two students from our class have been pre-admitted to Tsinghua!”

As soon as these words came out, the group fell silent.

Everyone’s mind involuntarily had one thought: could what Li Huiqun just posted be true??

Could the Tsinghua admission letter for Lin Yi be real?

How is that possible! It shouldn’t be!

How could a slacker get into Tsinghua, and even before the regular admission?

Could it be that the score of 750 is real?

The next moment, the class teacher gave the answer:

“One of the students you already know, and the other is our classmate Xiao Zihan. Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan have both been pre-admitted to Tsinghua University with exceptionally high scores. This is our class’s honor!”

With one sentence, everyone was amazed.

Li Huiqun might lie, but Xu Zhe, as the class teacher, would never say something untrue.

Which means Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan really got pre-admitted to Tsinghua University!

After seeing this news, the once lively Wang Erxiao completely shut his mouth, disappearing without saying another word. He had boasted earlier that his scores would definitely be in the top two of the school…

And just after Xu Zhe announced Lin Yi’s scores in the class group, a major event occurred online as well.

As the internet was once again swept up in the “slacker frenzy,” an unexpected prestigious university made a statement.

One of the most renowned universities in the country, Tsinghua’s official website published an article titled “Please stop your personal attacks immediately!”

The article criticized the recent wave of online bullying and included two images.

One was the Tsinghua admission letter for Lin Yi, and the other was the score report that netizens believed was Photoshopped.

Of course, ID numbers and other details were censored.

At the end of the article, Lin Yi was praised as a once-in-a-century talent, and Tsinghua expressed their gratitude for his choice.

To those with insight, it was clear Tsinghua was not only praising Lin Yi but also subtly asserting themselves as the talent scouts, for while talents are common, scouts are rare.

In an unseen manner, Tsinghua leveraged Lin Yi’s story to elevate their own status.

As soon as Tsinghua’s statement was released, it drew massive attention.

Those who initially called Lin Yi a slacker were instantly dumbfounded.

In just half an hour, Tsinghua’s statement rocketed to the top five of the trending list.

It continued to climb.

In the comments section below the statement, netizens were at a loss for words, filled with dumbfounded emojis.

The reason Xu Zhe openly shared the news in the class group was also because of Tsinghua’s statement.

Since the university had already announced the pre-admission, there was no reason to keep it secret.

Not only that, but an hour after Tsinghua’s statement was released, it was reprinted by major domestic media.

‘Super Reversal of the Totally Useless Slacker Lin’ instantly swept across the entire web.

For a time, the internet was completely abuzz.

The words of the media might be suspect, but with Tsinghua’s official involvement, there was no disputing it.

The spread of information in this era of explosion is incredibly fast.

As it spread online, all major self-media platforms were flooded with stories of Lin Yi’s turnaround.

The influencers waiting outside Lin Yi’s residential area were stunned by the unexpected twist on the internet.

They exchanged glances, each seeing disbelief in the other’s eyes.

In an apartment on the thirteenth floor of a high-rise behind Lin Yi’s residence, a creepy fat guy was installing a phone onto a telescope aimed at Lin Yi’s residential area.

As the image slowly came into focus, the fat guy spoke creepily:

“Hehe, how about it, folks? Aren’t I smart, a master’s degree holder from Peking University? Instead of standing outside aimlessly, isn’t it much better here? Look, you see that Land Rover? That’s the slacker Lin’s car.”

It’s undeniable; this guy, who graduated from ‘North Street Master’s Bathhouse,’ is quite clever. Using the money he recently earned from live streaming, he bought a high-definition telescope.

And he put his savings into renting an apartment in this upscale community for a month.

To him, it was all worth it, as based on his recent income, he could make at least over 300,000 yuan a month!

But looking at Lin Yi’s multimillion Land Rover, the fat guy couldn’t help but smack his lips, speaking with a tinge of envy:

“Tsk, tsk, a slacker driving a Land Rover, two hundred percent crazy. I heard today is the result day; I’ll find out later whether the slacker Lin scored over 300. I’m waiting to do a handstand and pee. Hehehe…”

However, as he uttered these words, the live stream chat took a bizarre turn.

The viewers, who were previously offering various opinions, began forming neat, identical lines on the screen.

“You can start your performance now…”

“You can start your performance now… +6”

“You can start your performance now… +999”

Seeing the chat rapidly reaching 999+, the fat guy was a bit confused about what was happening.

So he asked skeptically:

“Uh, what’s happening, old pals? What performance?”

Finally, a kind-hearted person interrupted the chat to remind the fat guy:

“Dude, I suggest you check the trending rankings and see the hottest topic. Don’t forget to come back and perform after!”
