Chapter 128 – Crowning the Newcomer King, Lost Coast Reappears!


Zheng Haixuan wanted revenge.

Relying on his father’s influence, he became the flag bearer, but who knew that his luck was bad and he sprained his foot, allowing Lin Baici to take advantage of it.

If it was just that, Zheng Haixuan would be angry at most, but not to the point of seeking revenge on Lin Baici. However, that guy shot a crazy dog with a flagpole during the military training performance and it was captured by the television crew.

Although the video was not broadcasted in the news due to social influence and concerns for the reputation of Haijing University of Technology, someone posted it online.

Lin Baici became famous in the school and became the hottest freshman on the campus forum.

Zheng Haixuan felt that this should have been his honor, but it was all taken by Lin Baici. Moreover, he had been interviewed by reporters, received scholarships, and even received awards for bravery and righteousness. He joined the student union and the party, enjoying all kinds of benefits. This made him furious.

He had been holding back for so many days, just waiting for this opportunity to ruin Lin Baici.

Zheng Haixuan arranged for a group of friends to keep an eye on the Software Engineering Class 01, making sure that Lin Baici was there, and then began to execute the plan.

The plan was to make Lin Baici perform on stage.

If Lin Baici didn’t go on stage today, it would show that he was a coward, someone who only had a pretty face but no talent. Zheng Haixuan’s hired internet trolls could easily ruin him.

Even if he went on stage, it didn’t matter. As long as he sang badly, they could still mock him in various ways.

Zheng Haixuan had inquired and found out that this guy had sung during the military training, but his singing was terrible.

As for the order of the performances, how important could it be for a freshman welcome party?

Didn’t they see that the leaders were not present?

Only those students who were eager for opportunities and wanted to build their reputation would take it seriously.

Moreover, even if the college leaders asked, Zheng Haixuan could say that he wanted to promote Lin Baici as a typical figure to increase everyone’s sense of belonging to Haijing University of Technology.

Not to mention his father’s influence.

In short, today’s plan was foolproof!

“Let’s invite our hero, Lin Baici, to the stage!”

Zheng Haixuan shouted loudly.

The few people he arranged immediately started cheering and shouting in the crowd.

“Lin Baici, come on stage!”

“Lin Baici, come on stage!”

The performance of the six senior sisters had heated up the atmosphere, so everyone was excited and started shouting along.

“Lao Bai, the host is calling you to perform on stage, hurry up!”

Liu Yu urged, feeling extremely happy inside.

Lin Baici was going to embarrass himself today.

They had been living in the same dormitory for almost a month, and Liu Yu knew that Lin Baici didn’t have any talent. He couldn’t possibly go on stage to perform a slam dunk or sing a popular song, right?

“Lao Bai, I’ll cover for you, go quickly!”

Fang Mingyuan suggested, fearing that if it failed, he would lose four years of seeking a partner.

“Lao Bai, is it okay?”

Hu Wenwu worried.

“God of Gambling, go, don’t let them underestimate you!”

“Show them your skills, and your position as the freshman king will be secured!”

“Make way, I, Lin Shen, am going to show off!”

The people nearby who knew Lin Baici from the Software Engineering department were all cheering, most of them not realizing the seriousness of the situation.

“Does this male host have a grudge against Lin Baici?”

Ji Xinyan frowned.

Generally, hosts wouldn’t embarrass others. After inviting once and seeing that the person had no intention of coming up, they would immediately change the topic and continue with the program. But Zheng Haixuan obviously didn’t have that intention.

“Did Lin Baici steal his girlfriend?”

Pei Fei thought this was the most likely possibility.

“I thought he looked good, but I didn’t expect him to be so naive!”

Bai Jiao regretted it, eliminating another target.

To be able to host the freshman welcome party, one must either have connections or abilities. Regardless of which, it was worth discussing. But without being shrewd, one would suffer a big loss sooner or later.

“Lao Bai, go on, this is your chance to become famous in one battle!”

Xu Daguan encouraged, enjoying watching the excitement.

【Someone wants to ruin you, suggesting to burn the rotten meat and feed it to the dogs.】

Lin Baici curled his lips. His eyesight was good, so he could see the triumphant smile on Zheng Haixuan’s face.

He wanted to plot against me?

No way!

“Help me hold this!”

Lin Baici stood up and handed the bag to Hu Wenwu, walking towards the stage.

“Applaud, quickly!”

Xu Daguan urged the crowd, leaving no way out for Lin Baici.

“Zheng classmate, it seems that Lin classmate doesn’t want to go on stage. Let’s move on to the next program, shall we?”

Mi Qin suggested.

“Wait a little longer!”

Zheng Haixuan glanced at Mi Qin. “Senior, don’t worry, if something happens, I can handle it!”

Mi Qin’s expression remained unchanged, but she felt disdainful inside.

Another guy who does whatever he wants because of his father’s influence.

Superficial!

Mi Qin tightened her grip on the microphone. The stage was sacred, and what Zheng Haixuan was doing was disrespectful to those who had worked hard to perform in the previous programs.

“Please everyone…”

Mi Qin wanted to take control, but suddenly, applause erupted from the northwest side of the stage. Then she saw a tall and well-proportioned guy, estimated to be around 1.9 meters, walking towards the stage.

When he approached the three-meter-high stage, she didn’t see him exert any effort, but he effortlessly took a step and jumped up.

His posture was elegant and free, with a touch of the charm of an ancient swordsman who could kill someone ten steps away and leave no trace for thousands of miles.

He was wearing jeans, sneakers on his feet, and a hoodie on his upper body. It was a very casual outfit, just like most guys. However, it exuded a refreshing and sunny feeling.

Zheng Haixuan was the host today, wearing a tuxedo and even makeup. With his handsome appearance, he had the air of a noble gentleman.

But now, as soon as this guy stepped on stage, he was immediately overshadowed.

The difference in temperament was too great.

Zheng Haixuan deliberately portrayed an elegant demeanor, while Lin Baici was casual and, yes, confident. From inside to outside, he exuded a strong sense of confidence.

How could Lin Baici not be confident?

He had earned over 20 million in just two months, became a God Hunter, destroyed two God’s Ruins, and purified two rule contaminations.

Not to mention facing these ordinary students, even if a God Hunter stood in front of him, he wouldn’t panic.”Lin, do you want to perform a program?”

Mi Qin asked this question skillfully, not asking what program he wanted to perform, but whether he wanted to perform at all. This way, Lin Baici could take advantage of the situation.

“Lin, my hero, what program do you want to perform? Singing? Dancing? Or stand-up comedy?”

Zheng Haixuan interrupted and handed the microphone to Lin Baici’s mouth.

Lin Baici wrinkled his nose and used his finger to push the microphone away.

There was no choice, Zheng Haixuan’s saliva splattered on it, and it smelled bad.

“Sister, lend me the microphone!”

Mi Qin heard this and thought, this guy doesn’t like to be taken advantage of, and when she saw Lin Baici push away the microphone handed to him by Zheng Haixuan, she suddenly felt relieved.

In fact, her partner for today was supposed to be a junior in his third year.

Zheng Haixuan replaced him.

“I’m looking forward to Lin’s performance!”

Mi Qin handed the microphone to Lin Baici.

If it were any other time, Mi Qin would be very careful about personal protection and would not let the other person touch her fingers when handing over the microphone. But today, she didn’t mind.

Apart from Lin Baici’s good first impression, it was also to annoy Zheng Haixuan.

Because this guy wanted to shake hands with her as soon as he came up, got rejected, and even asked for her WeChat. He was so annoying.

I just want to annoy him!

But Lin Baici held the lower part of the microphone, avoiding Mi Qin’s fingers.

“Hmm?”

This small detail made Mi Qin slightly surprised, and she had a higher opinion of Lin Baici.

“Oh my god, the gambling god is amazing, he’s picking up girls on stage!”

The male students majoring in software engineering were shocked to see Lin Baici not taking the microphone from the male host, but directly asking Mi Qin for it.

Isn’t he too bold?

“What gambling god? From today on, let’s call him Brother Lin, the King of Picking Up Girls!”

Zhang Zhixu deliberately said with a serious face, like a joker, causing everyone to laugh.

“What does gambling god mean?”

Ji Xinyan curiously asked.

“Lin Baici has an amazing memory, he can remember the order of the cards. We’ve never won against him when playing cards!”

Zhang Zhixu immediately replied, like an excited puppy.

There was no choice, he liked girls with Ji Xinyan’s style.

“Old Bai is also a soccer king!”

Fang Mingyuan said sarcastically.

Until now, he hadn’t played basketball with Lin Baici.

“I know this, Lin Baici is amazing at dunking!”

Pei Fei continued.

“With his height, he should be able to dunk!”

“Is he like a gorilla?”

“Is he as handsome as Sendoh?”

Most girls didn’t pay attention to sports, so they didn’t go to the playground and didn’t know what Lin Baici had done.

“Somebody posted a video of Old Bai dunking on the internet, you guys can go watch it!”

Fang Mingyuan laughed and took the opportunity to recommend basketball: “Search on Bilibili!”

“What? Who was the jerk who posted the video of our class leader dunking on the internet?”

Ji Xinyan pretended to be angry: “Isn’t this making it harder for the girls in our college to chase after him?”

“Who wants to chase after him?”

“I think it’s you!”

“He can be a class leader, no problem!”

The girls chattered.

Liu Yu heard these words and felt frustrated.

It seems that I can’t become the class leader anymore, and you guys, why do you keep praising Lin Baici?

Did he give you money?

In fact, it was because Lin Baici had a good personality, was kind and generous, and stood out enough that everyone naturally wanted to hang out with him.

Immediately, some girls took out their phones and started searching.

“What talent does Lin have to perform?”

Zheng Haixuan couldn’t wait.

“Singing!”

Lin Baici said concisely.

“Which song? Let me find the accompaniment for you!”

Zheng Haixuan thought to himself that this would be a stable opportunity. With your singing level, I can let the internet trolls go all out.

“No need, I have it myself!”

In Lin Baici’s phone, there was an accompaniment for the Heart Sutra.

The senior student in charge of the audio equipment took two minutes and got it ready!

Soft music started playing!

“Oh my god, is Lin Baici going to sing the Heart Sutra?”

Many girls from the software engineering department exclaimed. They were very familiar with this piece of music, or rather, anyone who went on Bilibili would be familiar with it.

After all, it was the recent hit, the number one popular video.

“It’s over! It’s over! He’s picking up girls again!”

“I’m afraid the girls won’t be able to resist, and instead, he’ll lose face. Do you know how many people on Douyin and Kuaishou are imitating this video of Lin Daer? They ended up being criticized and embarrassed!”

“That’s right, singing any other song would be better than this. This thing is not a high monk, how could he sing it without decades of practice?”

The girls started to worry about Lin Baici.

Girls like Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao, who reacted quickly, were stunned when they heard someone say ‘Lin Daer’ nickname.

Oh my god, Lin Baici’s last name is also Lin!

It couldn’t be the same person, right?

Then, they heard Lin Baici start singing.

The Buddha, the enlightened one,

Backstage, Mi Qin looked at Lin Baici in astonishment.

Why did he choose this song?

To ride on the popularity?

But as soon as Lin Baici started singing the first verse of the sutra, her astonishment turned into shock, and her cherry-like mouth unconsciously opened wide.

Oh my god!

He is Lin Daer?

Zheng Haixuan, who was originally waiting to see Lin Baici make a fool of himself, suddenly turned dark.

No!

Don’t panic!

It’s just a technical adjustment!

He only sounds a bit like the original in the first verse.

Do you want to embarrass me?

Impossible.

Lin Baici activated the sound of the Heart Sutra.

The sutra flowed from his mouth like a clear spring, although it was slightly distorted after passing through the speakers, the sound quality was much better than the video Lin Baici released, so it brought a better feeling.

Ethereal, effortless, pure, and free!

Everyone seemed to see a temple in the mountains after the rain, with the sound of bells coming from the corners of the blue-tiled roof, and the evening chanting of the monks.

The sutra echoed, full of Zen.

The compassionate Buddha, saving all sentient beings.The atmosphere, originally heated up by the six senior sisters in cheongsam performing a Korean dance, quickly cooled down. Everyone felt a sense of inner peace and tranquility.

In less than thirty seconds, the entire playground fell into complete silence, with only the sound of Lin Baici reciting the Heart Sutra.

Gu Qingxiang stood at the edge of the playground, staring at Lin Baici in astonishment.

“What a pity, now everyone knows he is Lin Da E Ren!”

Gu Qingqiu felt a bit regretful that she could no longer keep this secret to herself.

After reciting the sutra for over four minutes, Lin Baici quickly finished.

“Thank you!”

After expressing his gratitude, Lin Baici walked to the backstage and handed the microphone to Mi Qin.

“Are you the Lin Da E Ren from Bilibili?”

Mi Qin asked curiously.

“No!”

Lin Baici gave a slight smile and turned to leave.

He quickly left, not wanting to be bombarded with questions from his classmates.

Mi Qin’s slender fingers touched the microphone, which still held the warmth of Lin Baici. She turned her head to look at Zheng Haixuan.

At this moment, Zheng Haixuan was completely stunned.

He knew he had shot himself in the foot. After this event, Lin Baici would not only become famous among the freshmen, but would also cause a sensation throughout the entire school.

Damn it!

Am I the clown?

Mi Qin smirked, feeling as if something was missing.

When she returned to the stage to continue hosting the event, she finally realized what it was.

That guy didn’t ask for my WeChat!

Given Mi Qin’s appearance and popularity, any boy with a bit of courage would ask for her WeChat, but Lin Baici didn’t.

A guy who dared to take the microphone from the male host in front of all the freshmen, accepted the challenge, and effortlessly sang a Buddhist sutra, couldn’t possibly be a coward.

Is he not interested in me?

Mi Qin gave a wry smile.

But I am interested in you.

Mi Qin didn’t realize how sweet her involuntary smile was, causing many boys in the audience to fall in love and feel a sense of loss.

Because they knew they would never have a chance with a senior sister like her.

“Oh my god, it’s true! Lin Baici is Lin Da E Ren, there’s no doubt about it!”

Pei Fei exclaimed in shock.

Lin Baici, how many more talents are you hiding from us?

“No matter who does it, we must get Lin Baici before those seductive bitches from other colleges do!”

“Only Jiaozi and Xinyan can try. Other girls definitely can’t handle Lin Baici.”

“Lin Baici is so outstanding, it puts so much pressure on us!”

The girls chattered and whispered among themselves.

“Why doesn’t Lin Baici take advantage of his video’s popularity and post more videos? He could make a lot of money.”

Zhou Zhou didn’t understand. Lin Baici didn’t study much and wasted his time every day.

He couldn’t possibly dislike money, could he?

“I declare, from today onwards, Old Bai is Lin Shen, and no objections are allowed!”

Zhang Zhixu shouted.

“When did Lin Baici become the number one person in Haijing University of Technology?”

“Bullshit, it’s today!”

“With this performance, Lin Baici not only has the right to court for four years, but also the right to mate!”

Everyone was envious.

“September 24th, on this night, with a gentle breeze, a bright moon, and sparse stars, there was a battle of ants. Lin Baici took the stage, recited the sutra for all beings, as if the Buddha himself had come. His skills amazed everyone, and they all praised him. Great praise!”

“September 24th, on this night, a meteor came from the east. Lin Baici fought and succeeded, becoming the new king!”

Zhang Zhixu was serious, showing off his treasures, which made everyone laugh. But hearing the discussions around them, everyone asking about Lin Baici’s identity, they understood that their classmate had become famous.

“Jiaozi, do you have any regrets?”

Ji Xinyan teased Bai Jiao.

“Not enough!”

Bai Jiao replied indifferently.

Ji Xinyan gave a thumbs up, but it was unclear whether it was praise or sarcasm.

Gu Qingxiang watched Lin Baici leave, the surprise on her face gradually fading, replaced by calmness.

So you have this side too!

In the crowd of the School of Management, Zhu Qiunan sat on a stool at the end of the line.

She was starting to regret now.

She should have sat in the front.

She looked down at her phone. The recording had ended, so she put on her headphones and clicked play.

Far away from the playground, two men stood, one in his twenties and the other in his forties. They didn’t use a telescope, but they could still see everything on the stage clearly.

“Is this one of the targets?”

The young man sneered, “This Dao Shen En is nothing special!”

“Black Shark III and Octopus Ball were probably killed by Xia Hongyao. Although Lin Baici recently survived the ruins of Palm Harbor and solved the Mad Dog incident, it’s probably because he clung to Xia Hongyao’s thigh. Besides, when Black Shark III and the others died, he was still a student!”

The middle-aged man analyzed.

“Xia Hongmian’s sister, could she be a fool? I think the thing should be on her!”

The young man snorted coldly, “In the next few days, I will find an opportunity to interrogate this Lin Baici!”

“Let’s not act rashly, let’s watch a bit longer!”

The middle-aged man was worried, “Lin Baici could also be bait to lure us out!”

Lin Baici, unaware that he was being watched, received a call from Xia Hongyao on his way back to the dormitory.
