Chapter 246: Chapter 128: The New King’s Ascent, The Lost Coast Reappears!_3

...

Backstage, Mi Qin looked at Lin Baici with astonishment.

Why choose this song?

To ride on the popularity?

But as soon as Lin Baici opened his mouth and sang the first line of scripture, her astonishment turned to shock, and her cherry lips parted unconsciously.

Holy crap!

Is he Lin Da Hungry Man?

Zheng Haixuan’s face, which had been waiting to see Lin Baici embarrass himself, suddenly darkened.

No!

Don’t panic!

It’s a technical adjustment!

He just managed to imitate the first line quite well.

Expecting me to be embarrassed?

Impossible.

Lin Baici activated the Mantra Buddha Resound.

The scriptures flowed like a clear spring from his mouth. Although slightly distorted through the loudspeakers, the sound quality was much better than the video Lin Baici had posted, hence the feeling it brought was even more superior.

Spiritual, uncontrived, pure, and free!

Everyone seemed to see a temple between pine woods on a cold mountain after a fresh rain, wonderfully refreshed, with the sound of bells emanating from beneath the blue-tiled eaves and the monks’ evening chants melodious and lingering.

The scripture echoed, filled with zen and indistinct charm.

The Buddha’s compassion is boundless, universally saving all sentient beings.

The atmosphere, previously heated by a Goryeo dance performed by six cheongsam-clad senior girls, quickly cooled down, and everyone felt a sense of inner peace and purity of the six senses.

The entire playground fell completely silent in less than thirty seconds, with only the sound of Lin Baici chanting the Heart Sutra.

Gu Qingxiang stood at the back of the playground, staring dumbfounded at Lin Baici.

"Such a pity, others have found out he’s Lin Da Hungry Man!"

Gu Qingqiu felt a bit regretful at not being able to keep this secret to herself.

A scripture that lasted over four minutes, Lin Baici soon finished singing.

"Thank you!"

Lin Baici thanked the audience and walked backstage to hand the microphone to Mi Qin.

"Are you that Lin Da Hungry Man from Bilibili?"

Mi Qin asked curiously.

"Not at all!"

Lin Baici gave a slight smile and turned to leave.

Hurry and run.

He definitely didn’t want to be bombarded by his classmates.

Mi Qin’s slender fingers touched the microphone, still warm from Lin Baici’s touch. She turned her head and looked towards Zheng Haixuan.

By now, Zheng Haixuan was stupefied.

He knew he had shot himself in the foot. After this, Lin Baici wouldn’t only be famous among freshmen; he would cause a sensation throughout the whole school.

Damn it!

Am I the clown?

Mi Qin twitched the corner of her mouth, let out a chuckle, and thought to herself, why do I feel like I’m missing something?

When Mi Qin walked onto the stage to continue hosting the evening, she finally realized what it was.

The guy didn’t ask for my WeChat!

With Mi Qin’s looks and fame, any guy with a bit of courage would ask for her WeChat, but Lin Baici hadn’t.

A guy who’d effortlessly sung a Buddhist scripture in front of all the freshman class, after pushing aside the male host for the microphone and accepting the challenge, how could he possibly be a coward?

He’s not interested in me?

Mi Qin laughed wryly to herself.

But as for you, man, I’m actually quite interested.

Mi Qin had no idea how irresistibly sweet her spontaneous smile was, which immediately caused numerous boys in the audience to fall head over heels in love and start fretting over their losses.

Because they could never possibly win over such a senior student in their entire lives.

"My goodness, that’s the flavor, Lin Baici is definitely Lin Da Hungry Man, no doubt about it!"

Pei Fei was completely shocked.

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

"It doesn’t matter who makes a move, just hurry up and secure Lin Baici, we absolutely can’t let those alluring and cheap sluts from the other schools get there first!"

"Only Dumpling and Xinyan might stand a chance, other girls definitely can’t handle Lin Baici."

"With Lin Baici being so outstanding, the pressure is really on for us!"

The girls whispered and murmured among themselves, sharing secrets.

"Lin Baici’s videos are so popular, he must be making a lot of money, right? Why doesn’t he just ride the wave and release more videos?"

Zhou Zhou couldn’t understand, since Lin Baici didn’t seem to study much, spending his days idly.

Just wasting his time.

He couldn’t possibly dislike money, could he?

"I declare, from today on, Old White is God Lin, no objections allowed!"

Zhang Zhixu raised his voice in excitement.

"When did Lin Baici become Haijing Polytechnic’s number one?"

"Nonsense, it’s today!"

"With Lin Baici’s performance, he’s not just secured the right to court for four years, but even the right to mate is in the bag!"

Everyone envied him deeply.

"September 24th, on that night, a gentle breeze was blowing, the moon shone brightly, the stars were sparse, ants locked in battle, Lin Baici took the stage, recited the sutra to save souls, as if the Tathagata himself had arrived, amazing everyone, gaining unanimous approval, calling for applause! Enormous applause!"

"September 24th, on that night, a meteor came from the east, and in one battle, Lin Baici achieved success, crowned as the new king!"

Zhang Zhixu was deadly serious as he showed off, making everyone burst into laughter, but listening to the surrounding murmurs inquiring about Lin Baici’s identity, they all understood that their classmate had become very famous.

"Dumpling, do you have any regrets?"

Ji Xinyan teased Bai Jiao with a playful remark.

"Not enough yet!"

Bai Jiao replied indifferently.

Ji Xinyan gave a thumbs-up, but it was unclear if it was a compliment or sarcasm.

...

Gu Qingxiang watched Lin Baici’s departing figure, her initial surprise fading away, replaced by serenity.

So you have this side to you as well!

...

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

She was having some regrets now.

She should have moved to the front.

She looked down at her phone, noting that the recording had ended, and then put on her headphones and began playing it.

...

Far from the sports field, two men stood, one in his twenties, the other in his forties. They didn’t use binoculars but could still see everything happening on stage.

"Is this one of the targets?"

The young man sneered, "So this is Divine Grace’s doing!"

"Black Shark Triton and the Octopus Dumpling were probably taken out by Red Medicine. Although Lin Baici has recently survived the ruins of Palm Harbor and resolved the Mad Dog incident, it’s likely he was just riding on Red Medicine’s coattails. Plus, they were dead when he was still just a student!"

The middle-aged man analyzed.

"Xia Hongmian’s little sister, could she be an idiot? I think the item should be on her!"

The young man snorted coldly, "In the next couple of days, I will find an opportunity to interrogate this Lin Baici!"

"Still, let’s not act rashly, let’s wait and see!"

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

...

Lin Baici was unaware he was being targeted. On his way back to the dormitory, he received a call from Red Medicine.
