Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Useless Academic Failure Lin

Of course, at this moment, Lin Yi was completely unaware of all this. The Land Rover was slowly driving through the crowded city streets, with Lin Yi’s favorite song “Words Contradict” drifting through the open car window:

“Your heartfelt promises vanish with the western wind, while my infatuations are like flowers withering away~”

Suddenly, the phone beside him rang. Lin Yi was a bit puzzled as to who would be calling him at this time.

When he saw that the caller ID showed Brother Zhuang, he didn’t think much of it. He paused the in-car music and answered through the car’s phone system: “Brother Zhuang.”

“Little brother, do you know about what’s happening online?”

As soon as the call was connected, Zhuang Yan’s somewhat serious voice came through.

Hearing this, Lin Yi was taken aback, not understanding what the other side was talking about:

“Online? What’s up? I just finished eating and am on my way home. What’s the matter, Brother Zhuang?”

After hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhuang Yan realized that Lin Yi probably wasn’t aware of the situation. So, with a helpless smile, he said:

“You, my boy, are currently famous all over Huaxia! Ah, nevermind, I can’t explain it all in a few words. You better open Weibo and check the posts ranked first and ninth on the trending topics list yourself. Alright, after you’ve seen them, contact me again. Then we’ll think about how to solve this. I’ll get the corporate PR department to start working on it right away.”

After saying this, the other side said to contact later, then hung up directly.

But these words left Lin Yi completely puzzled.

What exactly is going on? Why would the PR department get involved? Trending on Weibo? Could it be that I’m on Weibo’s trending list??

Why would that be? Is it related to the Yuan Qinghua stuff or Tang Bohu’s paintings?

For a moment, somewhat bewildered, Lin Yi thought about how vast Huaxia was, and countless events happen every day, so how could finding a loophole cause him to trend?

“Damn! Could it be because of the system?”

Suddenly, Lin Yi’s pupils shrank sharply, and he felt a pang in his heart. Could it be that someone discovered his system?

It shouldn’t be; he had always been very cautious. Not even his parents knew about the existence of the system, so how could anyone else possibly know?

Thinking chaotically, his hands didn’t stop. With a twist of the steering wheel, he found a parking spot by the roadside and stopped the car.

Taking out his phone, he quickly downloaded Weibo and opened it, immediately seeing the top-trending keyword right before his eyes.

At the same time, Lin Yi became even more confused.

“Lin Yi, Keep it Up +9999??”

“What the heck is this? Cheering for me?”

Murmuring, he also clicked open the trending content.

Looking at the livestream screenshot and the motivational article about high school exam students on his phone screen, Lin Yi was somewhat speechless.

Especially when he saw the live stream name “Xiaodao TV Station,” Lin Yi remembered Xiong Cancan, who claimed to be a TV station reporter.

But after reading through the article, Lin Yi’s perception of Xiong Cancan changed slightly.

Maybe he really misunderstood her. Unexpectedly, after he chided her, she still portrayed him as a positive figure.

However, as he scrolled through the screen, he quickly arrived at the comment section, finding himself somewhat puzzled again.

First comment: “Shameful thing, how could such a slacker deserve everyone’s support?”

Second comment: “Keep it up, Slacker Lin, Lanxiang is waving at you!”

Third comment: “Slacker Lin, welcome to my New Oriental!”

…

“Damn, even such a positive post gets flamed? These keyboard warriors have no professional ethics at all…”

As he browsed through dozens of comments, apart from a few rebuttals, most were actually belittling him, making Lin Yi feel quite speechless.

What made him even more speechless was discovering a new nickname for himself: Useless Slacker Lin.

But as he scrolled further, Lin Yi finally noticed something unusual. Many people were talking about another post called “Useless Slacker Lin.”

This reminded Lin Yi of what Zhuang Yan had mentioned about another post ranked ninth in the trends.

So Lin Yi exited this post and continued reading downward. Sure enough, below he found another post called “Useless Slacker Lin,” which had now jumped to fifth in the trending list.

While Lin Yi was browsing through the posts, trains and planes across the country headed towards Xiaodao were filled with many reporters and self-media figures.

Upon learning about Lin Yi’s situation, they all sensed the explosive traffic that this incident could generate.

Thus, they promptly decided to head to Xiaodao, aiming to get firsthand information.

As for Lin Yi, when he opened the post, several photos from his life appeared right before him.

Of course, most eye-catching was that photo of himself hiding near the backdoor window, an unmatched unique seat photo, cementing his identity as a slacker.

Upon looking at the details in the post, it was incredibly thorough. It didn’t lack his height, weight, or even his old phone number, and even revealed how he was once forcefully kissed by a middle school girl during elementary school.

It was enough to prove that this personal search was indeed incredible!

“Damn, who the hell has nothing better to do, ruining my plan of quietly making a fortune…”

Looking at the comments section below, it wasn’t just a barrage of insults as Lin Yi expected; instead, quite a few fangirls showed up.

Some bold fangirls, after seeing Lin Yi’s handsome photos, were all instantly smitten, calling him “little brother” and declaring their love.

This made Lin Yi feel both amused and helpless, as the comments deviated quite a bit.

But regardless of the comment style, this incident had already made Lin Yi’s name resound across the internet. Fearful that countless netizens in Huaxia now knew of a slacker named Lin Yi…

Moreover, what Lin Yi didn’t know was that at this moment, a video had already gone viral on social media platforms online.

Whether on Douyin or Kuaishou, a video titled “The First Slacker Lin Out of the Exam Hall” appeared:

In the video, a very handsome young man stood at the exam hall entrance, facing a row of media microphones, and said lightly:

“Heh, it’s alright, the questions were easy. Okay, excuse me, I have something important to do. Please let me through.”

After saying this, he pushed through the crowd and left dashingly…

This scene was precisely from before when Lin Yi was interviewed by Xiong Cancan after leaving the exam hall.

ps: Brothers, keep it up, whether Slacker Lin can get into Lanxiang depends on your votes and comments!
