Chapter 47: Become a limited-time internet celebrity in Hangzhou and obtain the Tier 4 combat skill
After this comment appeared, the comment section was silent for a full three minutes. Then it exploded even more violently.
"Seven wheels? Are you sure? Do you even know what seven wheels means? You can't find many young people in the entire Hangzhou area with six wheels, right? You're telling me an F-rank lightning-type has at least seven wheels of bone tempering?"
"Don't believe me? Fine, besides, he even charges you for each challenge."
"How much per session?"
"fifty thousand."
"..."
"Is this an exam or a business deal?"
The video's views increased from a few hundred to a few thousand, and from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and the number of shares also went up.
Some people tagged the official account of the Hangzhou Superpower Association in the comments section, while others tagged the admissions offices of the four top universities.
Some people even reposted the video to the National Forum for Supernatural Abilities, changing the title to "F-level Lightning-type Ability User Kills Nine in Hangzhou College Entrance Exam, Eight-Round Bone Tempering Suspected to be Confirmed."
Shen Man, far away in Shanghai, was curled up on a hotel sofa watching a TV series.
A message popped up on my phone; it was a link forwarded by a colleague.
She clicked on it and watched the video, which had terrible picture quality. Then she laughed.
"That kid."
She sent Lin Yuan a message. The signal was too weak; she didn't know when she would receive it.
"I heard you're setting up a challenge ring in Hangzhou? 50,000 per round? I'll take half."
The campfire gradually died down, and the moonlight moved westward.
Lin Yuan leaned against a tree trunk with his eyes closed, unaware that he had become a trending topic.
He was just thinking about what to eat tomorrow.
......
As dawn broke, Lin Yuan was awakened by his phone vibrating.
It wasn't an alarm clock, but a message notification that rang seven or eight times in a row.
He groggily pulled out his phone, the screen's brightness making him squint. The signal was only one bar, but a message still managed to get through.
Shen Man, five items unread.
The first message read: "I heard you're setting up a challenge in Hangzhou? 50,000 per round? I'll split it with you." The message was sent at 11:40 PM last night.
The second item is a link to a post on a local forum in Hangzhou.
The third item: "Your video of defeating nine opponents at once has gone viral. Congratulations, Boss Lin."
The fourth message was three thumbs-up emojis. The fifth message was sent at 2 AM: "Reply when you wake up."
Lin Yuan stared at the screen for three seconds.
The "One-Person-Nine-Wearing" combo is trending?
He scratched the back of his head and clicked on the link.
After the loading screen spun for a while, a video with a blurry image, as if viewed through frosted glass, slowly appeared.
A purple gunshot flashed, and nine people lay sprawled on the ground. The final shot shattered the distress signal.
The title, "F-Rank Lightning-Type One-Man Kills Nine! Mysterious Powerful Person Appears in Hangzhou's College Entrance Examination!" has already garnered over 100,000 views.
After watching, Lin Yuan turned off the video expressionlessly, because...
The video is fucking blurry.
His brilliant and heroic victory over nine opponents was filmed as a pixelated battle; someone unfamiliar with the subject might mistake it for a pirated DVD from the early 2000s.
He replied to Shen Man's message: "Teacher Shen, why are you watching my videos in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
The message was sent, and it took a while to show that it was sent successfully.
Unexpectedly, Shen Man replied instantly, so this woman had been waiting for him all along.
"I stay up late because I'm setting exam questions. You stay up late because you're becoming an internet celebrity. Who's more outrageous?"
Lin Yuan was momentarily speechless, then replied, "I didn't film that video."
"But you're the one who makes the money. Fifty thousand per time, eight or nine in one night, that's over four hundred thousand, right? Let me do the math, based on the commission rates for admissions officers at prestigious universities in Shanghai..."
"Ms. Shen," Lin Yuan interrupted her decisively, "you are the best admissions officer in the world."
Speak like a human.
"Can we forget about the commission?"
"It depends on your performance."
Lin Yuan grinned.
He leaned against the tree trunk, crossed his legs, and shifted to a more comfortable position, his mind racing.
There are indeed fewer lightning-based attack methods. "Lightning Walks Through the Nine Heavens" is a spear technique, a close-range single-target attack.
The Sands of Time are for control, not for killing.
He needs a ranged lightning-based combat skill that can be used without weapons.
Shen Man is a fourth-tier lightning-type teacher and an admissions officer at a prestigious university in Shanghai; she definitely has something to offer.
The battle record database for the academy will have to wait until we get to Shanghai, but we can ask Shen Man for it right now.
"Teacher Shen," he sent another message.
"Um?"
"Look at me, an F-rank lightning-type, struggling among three thousand candidates in Hangzhou. My only attack method is gunplay, and I don't have any ranged skills."
When I encounter an opponent who can fly a kite, I can only chase after them on foot. If I catch up, that's fine, but if I can't, I just run around like an idiot.
If I fail this exam, whose face will I lose? My face? No, it will be the face of Shanghai's universities!
Shen Man was silent for several seconds. Then she replied with a single word: "Keep acting, keep acting."
"I'm serious."
Lin Yuan remained unfazed: "Think about it, I'm currently number one on the leaderboard, the whole internet is watching. What if some ranged character kites me to death tomorrow?"
The video was then uploaded online—"Hangzhou's top-scoring student in the college entrance exam died from a kite attack." Is this all the practical skills of prospective university freshmen in Shanghai?
Several more seconds of silence followed.
Then Shen Man replied: "You're fucking a genius. I'm not praising your superpower talent, I'm praising your shamelessness."
Lin Yuan sent a grinning emoji.
Shen Man replied, "Okay. I have a fourth-tier lightning-type combat skill here, 'Thunderbolt Finger.' It's ranged, single-target burst damage, and its advantages are fast attack speed, low resource consumption, and no need for a weapon."
The downside is that its power decreases with distance, becoming weaker the farther away it is. Since your lightning element is only E-rank, how much it can utilize depends on your own efforts.
I'll send the electronic version to your private account. Whether you can learn it before the college entrance exam is over is not my responsibility.
"Teacher Shen, I love you."
"Get lost. Pay for your own bubble tea."
Less than ten seconds later, the phone vibrated again.
A private account received an encrypted file with a filename consisting of only three characters: "Benleizhi".
Clicking on it reveals a densely packed map of luck routes and text descriptions. The complexity of the fourth-tier combat skill is much lower than that of Thunder Walks Through the Nine Heavens, but it's not something you can learn just by glancing at it.
Lin Yuan glanced at it briefly.
The core idea is straightforward: compress lightning-based superpowers into the fingertips of the index and middle fingers, condense them into a "lightning rod," and then launch it out.
It's not shot out, it's a bullet, hence the name "Thunderbolt Finger".
Its advantage is that it can be released extremely quickly, requiring almost no charging, and can be launched in an instant.
The downside is that its power decreases significantly with distance; the optimal range is within five meters, and its power is halved beyond ten meters.
Just what he wanted.
He doesn't intend to be a long-range shooter.
What he wants is an extra killing move in close combat that will catch his opponent off guard.
......
He sat cross-legged and guided his lightning-type supernatural power according to the route in the cultivation technique.
The process itself isn't difficult; the challenge lies in "compression."
Compressing a fist-sized bolt of lightning into a grain-of-rice-sized dot requires extremely precise control.
On the first attempt, lightning exploded at my fingertips.
It didn't bounce off, it exploded.
The frying made his index and middle fingers numb, and his fingernails even shone.
"Damn it." Lin Yuan shook his hand.
