75: Chapter 75 Surrounded by Enemies on All Sides

...

Ruan Xingyu following Lin Chuyan... Although this topic made it to the trending search, to Lin Chuyan's surprise, almost no one suspected they were having an affair anymore.

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Whether from photos or videos, it was clear that they had a good relationship. If Ruan Xingyu had done nothing, that would have been the strange part, right?

The small minority who still believed they were involved were basically just "shippers," the kind who could imagine a tragic romance based on a single glance, so Lin Chuyan stopped paying attention to them.

However, on the second night, the onlookers started to feel something was off.

"Has anyone counted how many trending searches Lin Chuyan has taken up?"

"I counted, 11 in total. But that's not even the ridiculous part; the most ridiculous part is that all 11 of these trending searches are still hanging there without moving!"

"The number of people discussing it on the real-time feed has already dropped significantly, so why are they still on the list?"

"The new drama 'Liuli' is so good, why can't it get on the trending list? Just because he's hogging 11 spots here to show off???"

"I dare not speak, I dare not ask. My idol's overseas concert has been trending like crazy, yet it just can't get on the trending list. Forget about using Weibo."

Lin Chuyan looked at these 11 trending searches and felt very satisfied. With the combination of natural popularity and the Trending Search Card, he estimated it should hold until tomorrow morning.

Bring it on. The more hate he attracted, the better. Many passersby praised him last night, but such people praise and move on. Without any works to his name, he usually couldn't convert them into real fans.

He might as well attract more hate. Being scolded was the source of maintaining popularity and providing him with Dynamic Traffic Value.

...

A few days later.

Ding!

[Dynamic Traffic Value: Red (1578352), Black (2242739)]

[Congratulations to the Host, this round of Dynamic Traffic Value settled at 3.5 million+, and 1 Treasure Chest (Gold) has been exchanged.]

[Settlement complete, Dynamic Traffic Value has been reset to zero.]

Great, great, another Gold Treasure Chest.

Nothing more to say, thanks to the paparazzi.

Open chest!

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 25 Basic Attribute Points (can be allocated freely).]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 25 Specialized Skill Points (can be allocated freely), unlocking the specialized skill "Violin."]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item: 1 "24-Hour Attribute Experience Card."]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the work "ambush from ten sides" complete Songwriting.]

Struck it rich again. The Specialized Skill Points given this time are so many! It adds up to 50 points.

And, another specialized skill unlocked; is this trying to make him a master of all trades...

As his specialized skills continued to increase, Lin Chuyan was really under pressure. After all, a person's energy is limited.

This wave helped alleviate that a bit.

Let's look at the item card description:

[This item can designate any basic attribute to temporarily increase by 100 points, with the effect lasting for 24 hours.]

It feels a bit similar to the Trending Search Card? If used well, the effect should be pretty good.

However! However! None of the above compares to this song given by the System!

"ambush from ten sides"!!!

Jay Chou's "ambush from ten sides"!!!

Also known as the Paparazzi Song...

How miserable, so miserable...

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but pity the paparazzi.

You guys really walked right into the line of fire, didn't you?

Brother System, well done, you finally came through for once!

As usual, he first logged into Aiyue.com to register the song's copyright.

As for the Korean rap section in "ambush from ten sides," he had already thought it through. It was only a few Lines anyway; he would just buckle down and learn it over the next couple of days, and he should be able to manage.

Lin Chuyan was always a man of action; he didn't want to drag this out, so he immediately called Zheng Hai to ask about recording the song.

Zheng Hai didn't hesitate at all. Since it concerned Ruan Xingyu, the biggest artist under his management, he would definitely help if he could.

Especially after reading the lyrics to Lin Chuyan's "ambush from ten sides," there was nothing more to say.

Lin Chuyan was going for the kill!

Too ruthless, really too ruthless.

Are young people like this now? They don't even think about leaving themselves a way out when doing things. Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

He could only sigh: Maybe "Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba" should just kneel down early; that way, he might still be able to keep his dignity intact.

Without hesitation, he replied to Lin Chuyan immediately.

Recording studios and such could be booked in advance. The song could also be produced for him as soon as possible, and once finished, it would be uploaded to platforms immediately. Everything would be supported by Tianxing Entertainment behind the scenes.

Having received Zheng Hai's reply, Lin Chuyan started practicing the song diligently. To be honest, for him, the hardest part was actually those few Lines of Korean, but after spending a day, he finally memorized them.

Overall, the song wasn't very difficult, but how to put it? It was just so satisfying to sing!

Scolding people is satisfying!

Writing a song to scold someone? Even more satisfying!

He found a day where he didn't have any scenes, asked Director Liu Zhi for leave, and went back to Beijing to record the song.

...

Three days later.

"Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba" had actually been quiet for a long time. An apology was impossible; after all, from their perspective, they wouldn't think they had done anything wrong.

At the end of the day, isn't that how paparazzi make a living?

However, some things cannot be avoided just because you want to.

Some people, once a grudge is formed, will go for the kill.

General Manager Liao had been in a very bad mood for the past few days and instructed Tian Qiu to keep a close eye on Lin Chuyan.

But it hadn't even been a few days, and not only did he not go looking for trouble with Lin Chuyan, but the latter wasn't just firing back—he was charging over with a Gatling gun?

General Manager Liao felt his vision go black—that guy Lin Chuyan had posted on Weibo again, and again, and again...

"See you on Friday!"

No extra words, just one sentence, and everyone knew what he wanted to do.

Revenge! Naked revenge!

Who the hell do you think you are, playing the riddle master? Are you the only one who can say something like "See you on Friday"? Huh???

Come on, let's hurt each other, let's see who dies first.

The netizens were completely restless.

"Great, great, so that's how we're playing, right? I'm going to die laughing, hahahahahaha!"

"Lin Chuyan, you've really mastered the art of language."

"Lin the Dog lives up to the name, dog-eat-dog, right! Good stuff, love to see it."

"Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba is so miserable. Out of everyone to provoke, he chose Lin Chuyan. Kicked a steel plate, didn't he? Hahahaha!"

"Damn, what does this mean? You became a paparazzo too?"

"Lin Chuyan's mental state is something else. I love watching people go crazy. Don't stop, keep going."

Soon, the trending search #LinChuyanSeeYouOnFriday# went up.

Users who didn't understand the context saw this trending search and thought Lin Chuyan had been secretly photographed again.

But when they clicked in? Impressive! Lin Chuyan, you sure know how to play.

What to do? Can't focus on work!

Everyone started looking forward to the next day, Friday; this weekend wouldn't be lonely.

Only the Weibo employees were cursing under their breath: Can you artists find a normal workday to cause trouble! I want to get off work!

...

Friday, countless onlookers were already in place.

6:00 PM—the same time "Entertainment Reporter Xiao Ba" made the original revelation.

Lin Chuyan began to post his second Weibo.

"New song 'ambush from ten sides,' now available on both Tencent Music and NetEase Cloud Music platforms."

Netizens who originally thought Lin Chuyan would cause trouble were confused.

"What the hell is a new song? Not scolding people anymore? What does this mean?"

"Lin Chuyan can sing? Is he using this opportunity to promote his new song???"

"Lin the Dog seems to have an EP called 'rebirth,' but it hasn't been released yet, and as far as I know, it doesn't seem to have 'ambush from ten sides' on it."

"Boring, I wanted to see blood flow like a river, but it turned out to be a promotion for his own song. I actually had a good impression of him, but isn't this just ruining his reputation?"

"Damn, I'm telling you guys, can you just go listen to the song? Hurry up, if you don't go now, you'll miss the boat."

"Damn, damn, awesome, awesome."

"Lin Chuyan, you are my god!!!"

"What do you mean? Is the song good?"

General Manager Liao was also watching Lin Chuyan from the very first moment. Although he didn't understand this move, he immediately opened Tencent Music and searched for Lin Chuyan's new song "ambush from ten sides."

He clicked play.

This intro... actually, it was quite good.

Soon, Lin Chuyan's voice rang in his ears.

It was actually rap, and the voice sounded pretty cool?

"My life is like acting in a play, with so many directors and screenwriters."

"I only said one line, but they added eight hundred tones to it."

"Manipulating my emotions, that's not my tone at all."

"Wanting the audience to watch a good show, the final goal is just to boost ratings."

"I don't know if I have the courage to take off their masks."

"I only know that a serious man is the most beautiful, will I have to keep acting until they are satisfied?"

When General Manager Liao heard this, he already felt something was wrong. What was this saying? Was he scolding them?

But these lyrics, how to put it, were they a bit cryptic?

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore. As soon as the lyrics of the second rap verse came out, he knew he was in trouble.

"On my way home, I saw a sign pointing to the entertainment industry."

"If I choose to move forward, I must be strong."

"Walking along, inexplicably several dogs rushed out, I wondered when I adopted so many dogs."

General Manager Liao: "..."

Lin Chuyan's Singing continued.

"They bite apples, holding Long takes in their hands, as if they want to tell me some conspiracy."

"A dog that can talk, he says he's doing it for the Dog Weekly, seeing if he can photograph me and trade it for a few more bones."

General Manager Liao: "???"

Execution! Public execution!

Did you think it ended there? No, the real slow death was coming.

"If hurting me is your nature, then mercy is my motto."

"Dog, dog, dog, dog."

"Need me to light your way home? Then I'll give you a flashlight."

"Dog, dog, dog, dog."

What is this???

Who writes a song specifically to scold people???

You f*cking lunatic!!!

General Manager Liao couldn't listen anymore and threw his phone hard onto the floor!

However, modern phones are built a bit too well, and it didn't break. The player continued to output sound on the floor, and Lin Chuyan's voice kept drilling into his ears.

"Dog, dog, dog, dog..."

Pain, it was too painful.

General Manager Liao clutched his chest; his heart really couldn't take it anymore.
