Chapter 245: Chapter 128: The New King’s Ascent, The Lost Coast Reappears!_2

But now, as this boy took the stage, he immediately outshone the others.

His temperament was just too superior.

Zheng Haixuan tried to present a kind of cultivated elegance, but Lin Baici was casual—yes, and confident. A powerful confidence radiated from him, inside and out.

How could Lin Baici not be confident?

In two months, he made over twenty million and became a God Hunter, breaking through two Divine Ruins and purifying two instances of rule contamination.

Not to mention these ordinary students, even if a God Hunter stood before him, he wouldn’t flinch.

"Student Lin, are you going to perform an act?"

Mi Qin’s question was skillfully phrased, not asking what he would perform, but whether he would at all, giving Lin Baici room to gracefully decline.

"Great Hero Lin, what’s your act? Singing? Dancing? Or maybe a comic monologue?"

Zheng Haixuan interjected, then handed the microphone right to Lin Baici’s mouth.

Lin Baici wrinkled his nose and pushed the microphone away with a finger.

He couldn’t help it; it was splattered with Zheng Haixuan’s saliva and smelled a bit foul.

"Senior, may I borrow your microphone?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Qin thought to herself that this was someone who wouldn’t accept the short end of the stick, and she felt instantly gratified when she saw Lin Baici push away the microphone offered by Zheng Haixuan.

Actually, her co-host today was supposed to be a junior.

Zheng Haixuan had taken his place.

"I’m looking forward to Student Lin’s performance!"

Mi Qin handed her microphone to Lin Baici.

Normally, Mi Qin was very mindful of personal boundaries. In exchanges like this, she certainly wouldn’t let anyone touch her fingers, but today, she didn’t care.

Aside from the good first impression Lin Baici had given her, it was also to spite Zheng Haixuan.

Since that guy had come up and tried to shake her hand, been rejected, and even asked for her WeChat—too annoying.

I just want to irk him!

But Lin Baici took the bottom of the microphone, avoiding Mi Qin’s fingers.

"Hmm?"

This small detail slightly surprised Mi Qin, and her esteem for Lin Baici rose even higher.

"Holy crap, the God of Gamblers is cool, hitting on the girl right there on the stage!"

The boys from the software engineering department were shocked to see Lin Baici refuse the male host’s microphone and asked directly for Mi Qin’s instead.

That’s some real boldness!

"What God of Gamblers? From today on, call me Brother Lin, king of hitting on girls!"

Zhang Zhixu made a serious face as he spoke, looking like a joker and making everyone laugh.

"What does God of Gamblers mean?"

Ji Xinyan asked curiously.

"Lin Baici has a super good memory; he can remember the order of the cards when we play. We never win against him!"

Zhang Zhixu immediately jumped in with a reply, like an excited puppy.

He couldn’t help it; he was interested in girls like Ji Xinyan.

"Old White is also a king on the basketball court!"

Fang Mingyuan’s tone was a bit sour.

Until now, he hadn’t had the chance to play basketball with Lin Baici.

"I know about that, Lin Baici’s slam dunk is amazing!"

Pei Fei chimed in.

"With his height, he should be able to slam dunk easily!"

"Like a gorilla?"

"Is it as cool as Rukawa Kaede?"

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

"Someone uploaded a video of Old White’s dunking onto the internet; you guys can go check it out!"

Fang Mingyuan laughed heartily, seizing the moment to promote basketball: "Search on Bilibili!"

"What? Which jerk posted our class leader’s dunking video online?"

Ji Xinyan pretended to be angry: "Isn’t that just making it harder for our college girls to chase after him?"

"Who’s chasing after him?"

"Looks like it’s you!"

"He’s definitely fit to be the class leader!"

The girls chirped and chattered.

Liu Yu felt like spitting blood when he heard these words.

It looked like the role of class leader would never be his; and you guys, why do you keep praising Lin Baici?

Did he pay you?

In fact, Lin Baici’s popularity stemmed from his good nature, friendliness, generosity, and exceptional qualities, making everyone naturally want to hang out with him.

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

...

"Student Lin, what talent are you going to perform?"

Zheng Haixuan asked impatiently.

"Singing!"

Lin Baici was brief and to the point.

"Which song? I’ll help you find the backing track!"

Zheng Haixuan thought to himself that this clinched it for him. With Lin Baici’s standard of singing, he could have the trolls tear him apart online.

"No need, I’ve got my own!"

Lin Baici’s phone already had the Heart Sutra’s instrumental track.

The senior responsible for the sound equipment took two minutes to get it sorted.

Light music began to play!

"Oh my God, is Lin Baici going to sing ’Heart Sutra’?"

On the software engineering side, many girls shouted out. They were all too familiar with this piece of music—anyone using Bilibili would be.

After all, it was the latest hit and the most popular video.

"It’s all over! He’s picking up others’ leftovers now!"

"The problem is if he can’t pick them up well, he’ll just embarrass himself even more. Do you know how many people on TikTok and Kuaishou have tried imitating ’Lin Da Hungry Man’s’ video, only to get massively trolled and humiliated?"

"Yeah, singing any random song would’ve been better than this one. If you’re not a high monk, with decades of practice, how can you hope to capture that essence?"

The girls began to worry for Lin Baici.

Quick reactors like Ji Xinyan and Bai Jiao paused when someone mentioned the nickname ’Lin Da Hungry Man’. They realized then that Lin Baici also had the last name Lin.

Could it really be the same person?

And then, they heard Lin Baici’s voice.

When the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara,
