Section 180

Usually, one wouldn't even dare to dream of something this beautiful!

I never expected it to actually come true in reality!

With Lin Xian's "charitable" behavior... how could everyone not be excited!?

And so!

The Generals of the various military regions immediately swung into action!

They all began commanding their subordinates:

"Quickly, everyone log into your own livestream platform accounts! Click the 'Connect' button like crazy... Lin Xian's livestream currently has nearly a hundred million viewers! In this situation... the only way is to use human wave tactics to increase the probability of being chosen as a [Lucky Viewer]! Pass down my order—anyone who manages to get a chance to connect with Lin Xian will be immediately awarded a Second-Class Individual Merit!"

"Damn it, in a random selection like this... even a supercomputer with its high-speed processing is useless! Our Air Force's greatest advantage has vanished... There's no other way! Notify all Air Force soldiers... get all your phones back from the instructors! In a moment... everyone try to grab the chance to video chat with Lin Xian! If someone is lucky enough to get the chance... you must tell Lin Xian about the current difficulties our Air Force is facing! Of course... ahem, don't reveal our identity. Just pretend to be a farmer."

"What? The Army has already offered a Second-Class Individual Merit!? Damn it! They're actually starting a bidding war! But our Navy will definitely not show weakness! Pass down my order! If any Navy soldier gets the chance to connect with Lin Xian... a Second-Class Individual Merit is the minimum! At the same time... if someone disguises themselves well as a fisherman and gets Lin Xian to actually develop a piece of agricultural equipment suitable for maritime combat... we will make an exception and apply to the state for a First-Class Individual Merit!"

"Damn it... Lin Xian sold so many Super Black Technology products tonight... and our military region didn't manage to grab anything except for a few bottles of Genetic Potion! But we absolutely cannot lose this precious connection opportunity! Our military region faces the most difficulties on the battlefield, and our weapon and equipment support is the worst... We desperately need Lin Xian's help! Everyone, log into your livestream accounts! Click to connect with Lin Xian like crazy!"

"No way!? The Navy has already upped the reward to a First-Class Individual Merit!? This is fucking too much! Competing to this extent... are they trying to leave us with nothing! No... this chance to [directly state requirements and get customized weapons] is truly once in a lifetime! We must not give up! Fine... let's start competing too! Pass it down! If anyone in our corps successfully connects with Lin Xian... and their acting is good enough to state specific demands... then their entire company will share the glory! They'll be awarded a Second-Class Collective Merit!"

...

Just like that.

In order to compete for the chance to connect with Lin Xian, state their "combat requirements," and hope for customized weapons...

The rewards offered by the various military regions had already reached the sky!

The soldiers who heard this news were even more excited!

A First-Class Individual Merit!?

This...

Normally, very few people can get this and live to tell the tale!

If one could get a top honor like a First-Class Individual Merit and still be alive...

Then the family tree would have to start a new page from them!

Even in the county chronicles!

They would have to dedicate a whole page to them in bold strokes!

It was bringing honor to one's ancestors!

Those four words... which person from Dragon Kingdom could refuse them!?

In an instant!

Countless accounts of Dragon Kingdom soldiers flooded into Lin Xian's livestream!

Desperately trying to grab the chance to connect!

Just waiting for the lucky moment they were chosen... to show off their acting skills.

Finally...

Lin Xian had finished setting up the connection process and said to the camera with a smile:

"Alright... I've just set up the [Random Selection of Lucky Fans to Connect] in the system backend... Today, we will select a total of three lucky viewers to connect with!"

"So, without further ado, everyone can now start clicking [Apply to Connect] to register! In three minutes... the system will automatically select three lucky viewers to connect with one by one!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

A button to apply for a connection suddenly popped up in the bottom right corner of the livestream!

This was a chance to chat face-to-face with a great hero!

And it was also a chance to state requirements and have Lin Xian create a customized product for you!

The gifts given to those three children just now...

Had made everyone green with envy!

And now!

The opportunity had arrived!

And so—

In the blink of an eye!

The entire livestream video froze like a PowerPoint presentation!

You should know... to ensure the stability of Lin Xian's livestream signal, the platform had opened up almost all its bandwidth to his room!

But even so, the enthusiasm of the masses was simply too high!

Within a single second...

Tens of millions of viewers registered at the same time! It almost made the livestream platform's servers go up in smoke!

Finally...

After lagging for a full three minutes, the registration phase ended, and the livestream finally returned to its normal smoothness.

The three lucky fans had been selected!

And with almost no pause... the livestream system directly connected the first lucky fan!

This sudden surprise came so quickly!

That the lucky viewer didn't even have time to react!

He said incoherently:

"Ho... Holy shit! I was chosen! The [First-Class Merit] is coming!"

"Pah, pah, pah! No, no... I, I, I, I... Hello, Big Brother Lin Xian!"

...

It was obvious that the lucky viewer on the other end was very excited and a bit incoherent!

Fortunately, the scene was quite chaotic, and the livestream video had just recovered from the lag... so no one heard him clearly... they were all just very jealous of his luck!

Lin Xian waved and greeted the lucky fan:

"Hello, fan. Please [introduce] yourself to everyone."

Snap!

As soon as he heard the word "introduce"!

From the other side came the sound of someone quickly snapping to attention, palms slapping against the seams of their trousers!

Then, a characteristic shout rang out:

"Reporting, Sir! I am from the Dragon Kingdom Navy's East Sea Fleet Avi—pah, pah, pah! What am I saying!? I, I, I, I... I am a fisherman!"

This lucky fan was clearly on the verge of tears!

He was just too nervous!

And at the same time, too excited!

Just now, his head was filled with fantasies of carrying a First-Class Merit plaque... and returning home to bring honor to his ancestors!

Consequently, in this high-pressure mental state...

As soon as he heard Lin Xian ask him to introduce himself!

It immediately triggered his "Reporting, Sir" reflex!

This is fucking...

Just now, the instructor had repeatedly warned him! In order not to give the US any excuse to find fault... he must disguise himself as a [fisherman] to communicate with Lin Xian!

And now!

He had almost blurted out his company number!

Wasn't this practically exposing himself!?

The poor soldier was on the verge of tears, his trembling hand holding a trembling phone as he said tremulously:

"Um... Um... Big Brother Lin Xian, I'm a bit too nervous..."

"Can I start over?"

Pfft—

Hahahaha!

Hahahaha!

That "Can I start over?"... really made the Dragon Kingdom netizens unable to hold it in!

They burst into uproarious laughter—

"Hahahaha! This... this so-called lucky viewer must be a soldier brother, right!? Such terrible acting... he's definitely an honest and simple soldier brother, no doubt about it! Oh my god, I can't... I'm rolling on the floor right now... my stomach really hurts from laughing! Hahaha, I guess this soldier brother was just too nervous; he didn't expect to actually be chosen as a lucky viewer. This is practically a [self-confession]!"

"This soldier brother is too cute, haha! He actually... actually said something like 'Can I start over?' Hahahaha... I can feel his excitement from earlier and his current despair! The reason he was so excited just now must be because the Generals of the Dragon Kingdom military regions said that whoever grabs the chance to connect with Lin Xian will definitely get a huge reward! And his current despair shows... he knows he messed up because he was too nervous! He's on the verge of tears!"

"Stop pretending, soldier brother! Your self-confession... we all understood it! You're not a fisherman at all... from your attempt to identify yourself just now and the sound of you snapping to attention at light speed, we've figured it out... you're actually a member of the [Dragon Kingdom Navy], aren't you? Hahahaha! I have to say... our Dragon Kingdom soldiers are truly too simple and honest. For them, lying... is probably harder than fighting a war!"
