53: Chapter 53 Are the requirements for being a kept man this high now?
The performance in the center of the stage continued.
Lin Chen flicked his wrist repeatedly, and the remaining four playing cards instantly flew from his hand.
In an instant, all five playing cards were suspended around his body, spinning at high speed.
The ordinary playing cards seemed to have come to life, like five agile butterflies dancing up and down around him.
The scene was incredibly cool.
Lin Chen stood on stage with one hand behind his back, lifting his other hand casually, and the five cards immediately gathered obediently to spin beneath his palm.
The college students in the audience were going crazy, their excited cheers almost blowing the roof off.
Lin Chen's personal livestream room was absolutely exploding, with the comments so dense that the screen was barely visible.
"Holy crap! Teacher Lin, are you done with street racing and started cultivating immortality instead?"
"I'm impressed! No wonder you could get five gorgeous superstars into the same bed; this skill is freaking awesome!"
"My mom asked why I'm kneeling to watch the phone, and I told her Teacher Lin is showing off!"
"Can a professional explain this? Is this some kind of superpower? Did I switch channels to a magic show?"
"I've been a magician for ten years, let me say a few words. This is called Hummingbird Cards. Simply put, it uses an extremely thin, transparent, invisible thread, with one end passed through the card and the other stuck behind the ear. You can't see the thread, so you think it's magical."
"Don't go, ten-year veteran! I've seen people play with one Hummingbird Card. Controlling five cards simultaneously, what level is that?"
"Ahem... even the top big shots in the industry can only handle two cards at most. This is my first time seeing someone control five cards and make them fly in circles. Don't ask me what level Teacher Lin is at; I'm kneeling while watching the stream right now, I'm not qualified to judge."
This eye-popping performance lasted for a full five minutes.
Until the hundreds of people in the audience were almost hoarse from shouting, Lin Chen deftly collected the playing cards back into his palm.
"Now, do you all still feel like you're being shortchanged?" Lin Chen chuckled into the microphone.
"No! Teacher Lin is awesome!"
The college students who were booing just a moment ago immediately switched sides, answering with a thunderous roar.
Lin Chen continued, "That skill was called Hummingbird Cards, which relies on invisible thread. Next, let me show you the boomerang cards, performed purely by sleight of hand."
After speaking, Lin Chen snapped the thin thread on the playing cards.
He held a poker card between his index and middle fingers, exerted force with his wrist, and flicked it sharply.
"Whoosh—"
The playing card flew off the stage like a spinning dart at high speed.
It flew three or four meters away, traced a perfect arc in mid-air, and finally, miraculously, made a turn and flew precisely back into Lin Chen's hand.
"Whoa—"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience once again.
Tong Liya and the other two women hiding behind the curtain also applauded wildly, their beautiful faces filled with unconcealable shock.
How many more trump cards does this man have hidden?
Lin Chen didn't stop.
He exerted force again. As soon as the first card flew out, he didn't pause, flicking out the second, third...
By the moment the fifth card was flicked out, the first card had just flown back.
Lin Chen caught it casually and flicked it out again.
In an instant, five playing cards were flying and weaving through the air along different trajectories in a continuous cycle.
The dazzling scene left the entire audience dumbfounded.
"My knees are completely shattered!"
"My god, is the threshold for being a gigolo now raised to this level? Are you going to leave us brothers any way to survive!"
"The ten-year veteran is back to kneel and explain! Hummingbird Cards at least have a thread, but boomerang cards rely purely on finger and wrist strength, without any external assistance. Being able to control five boomerang cards simultaneously without breaking the chain is simply beyond human capabilities! Don't ask, if you ask, he's a god!"
Five minutes later.
Lin Chen stepped off the stage with quick, clean movements, completely ignoring the enthusiastic shouts of "One more!" from the audience.
"Brother Lin Chen! You were so incredibly cool!"
As soon as he returned backstage, Song Zuer pounced on him like a happy rabbit.
Her hands tightly hugged Lin Chen's arm, and she hung on him, jumping up and down.
Although the eighteen-year-old girl was young, she was already quite well-endowed.
Her youthful, vibrant body rubbed tightly against Lin Chen's arm.
With her jumping, her short skirt flipped up, and her fair thighs were dizzyingly distracting.
Tong Liya, Liu Shishi, and Guli Nazha were equally excited.
Their beautiful peach-blossom eyes gleamed with brilliance. They just wanted to step forward with their long legs to congratulate him, but found that the best spot had already been occupied by Song Zuer, so they could only stop helplessly.
"Good kid, you've been hiding this well! If I had known you had such god-tier skills, I would have made you the finale! You made the atmosphere in the audience so wild, how are we supposed to perform later?" Song Dandan teased with a smile.
Yue Yunpeng also came over and said happily, "Brother, I just said you were framing me. With your looks and skills, I'm afraid you'll steal my wife! My wife is definitely going to defect after watching this stream!"
After a few words of casual chatter, Song Dandan and Yue Yunpeng bit the bullet and went on stage.
It was exactly as Song Dandan had complained.
The venue had been completely set on fire by Lin Chen, and suddenly switching to a slow-paced skit meant the audience would definitely have a cool-down period.
Fortunately, both of them were seasoned comedic veterans, and relying on their solid comedic skills, they stabilized the situation and eventually won thunderous applause.
After the three programs were finished.
The Executive Director walked onto the stage to ask for the satisfaction rating.
Almost all five hundred college students in the audience raised both hands.
Without any suspense, the director announced on the spot: Divas Hit the Road Group has won the top-tier budget of 50,000 yuan for the budget tour!
Backstage.
Upon hearing the good news, the four female stars immediately screamed with excitement and high-fived each other.
Tong Liya, Liu Shishi, and Guli Nazha, the three gorgeous wives, all had the same first reaction: to turn and find their husbands to hug and high-five.
As a result, just as they extended their fair, delicate hands, Song Zuer grabbed the lead once again.
She dove straight into Lin Chen's arms, her full, firm body holding Lin Chen tightly once again.
"Haha! Fifty thousand yuan! We're rich!"
