" cough!"
Lin awkwardly coughed, thinking back to the joke he just made, realizing it was indeed a bit over the top. He wasn't someone who was good at making jokes, nor was he the type suited for humor.
"Hey, was that joke I made just now a total failure?"
"No, bro, just the fact that you can make jokes is already quite delightful!"
...
A black line appeared on Lin's forehead; why did it feel like he was being treated as if he were an idiot, unable to even tell a joke?
But the truth was undeniable; Lin had to admit he wasn't good at joking, even though he wasn't an idiot...
At that moment, his smartwatch suddenly played music, "Ding ding ding, time keeps moving..."
The enchanting melody caught the attention of all three, and both Fatty and Dream Source leaned in to see who was calling at that moment.
The corners of Lin's mouth slightly lifted; he had a hunch about who it was. Even without looking at the incoming call prompt on the screen, he already knew who was buzzing him.
It had to be Lü Liang without a doubt; this guy must have received a prompt from Hero Platform and came to show off.
He casually tapped on his smartwatch, and a blue virtual screen immediately popped up. Two waves of blue signals shook, revealing Lü Liang's proud face in front of everyone.
"Hey! Master, Fat Black Man, we meet again! Long time no see, I've missed you so much!"
Lü Liang's smile was as radiant as sunshine, his white teeth shining like pearls. It was clear that he was extremely happy at that moment.
"What do you mean 'long time no see'? Didn't you just finish eating and drinking with my brother last night? You've already forgotten!"
Fatty sarcastically retorted, seemingly able to banter with anyone.
Since yesterday's interaction with Lu Liang, Fatty had become even more so; his bond with Lu Liang was growing stronger by the day, which was quite remarkable.
This feeling was different from the camaraderie between Lin and Lu Liang; it wasn't a case of heroes recognizing heroes, but rather...
Birds of a feather!
Lu Liang was a typical reserved personality, while Fatty was more outgoing. Both shared a certain mischievousness at their core, and thus, these two misfits quickly bonded.
In life, one must have friends: close confidants, positive influences, and then there's the troublemaker...
A troublemaker doesn't necessarily bring negative effects; if the two enjoy each other's company appropriately, they can relieve a lot of life's pressures.
Because with a troublemaker, you'll never be serious; you're always sharing ridiculous stories and jokes, which is when you feel the most relaxed.
"Hey! Fat Black Man, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling tight?"
Although Lu Liang said this, he didn't seem angry at all; in fact, he couldn't even pretend to be because he was too happy at that moment.
"Cut it out! If there's something to say, hurry up; we're busy!"
Fatty waved his hand dismissively, acting as if he didn't want to engage.
On the other end of the screen, Lu Liang also put away his joking demeanor but still smiled and asked back, "Guess what news I have for you? It's a very exciting piece of news!"
Fatty rolled his eyes and muttered, "Who cares! Just showing off, right? I don't even want to hear it!" Then he turned away, not wanting to deal with this half-wit whose face was surely beaming with pride over something.
Liu Liang's expression had already betrayed him; the straightforward Liu Liang wouldn't disguise himself at all, which made Fatty quite bored.
While the two were bickering, Lin Yi was holding his arms, wearing a half-smile as he stared at Liu Liang for a long time.
When Liu Liang finally noticed, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"These two guys are too scary; it's like they can see through my intentions..."
On the other side of the Virtual Screen, Liu Liang was still in a daze when Lin impatiently clicked his tongue and asked casually, "Are you going to show off your good news or not?"
"Uh..." Seeing Lin's bored expression, Liu Liang felt a tightness in his chest.
Why is it so hard to show off just a little?
"Forget it, if you can't do it, I'll do it for you. Look at you, so foolish that you can't even brag! Let me teach you how..."
Lin shrugged helplessly and turned away, patting Fatty, who was browsing his own Virtual Screen with his head down.
On the other side of the screen, Liu Liang's arrogant smile gradually faded; his mouth was opening wider and wider, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly.
Why does it feel like... I'm not showing off but being shown up instead?
"Hey! Black, let me tell you some news that will excite you."
Lin's actions were casual, and his tone was flat, as if he were just chatting—only Fatty could hear him.
"What is it? Did Liu Liang follow you?" Fatty's eyes were still glued to the Virtual Screen, lacking enthusiasm.
"Oh, he didn't; I guessed. It seems that Liu Liang's Streamer application has been approved... which means he will be the second Streamer on the Hero Live Streaming Platform."
Lin's tone remained flat, as if this news was not exciting at all.
For Lin, he had known about this news for a long time, but it was different for Fatty.
Fatty's hefty body trembled slightly, causing ripples to spread through his flesh. He was stunned for about half a minute before he exploded!
"What! Bro! Is this real or fake?"
Fatty Chen sat on the edge of his seat, jumping up as if he were a large jelly. His eyes bulged wide, and it seemed that if Lin said anything, he would go on a rampage!
"Just take a look for yourself; the Live Streaming Platform should have pushed notifications by now."
Waving his hand, Lin ignored Fatty. He had achieved the effect he wanted, and it wouldn't be good to provoke Fatty further.
Turning his head to look at Lü Liang on the other end of the screen, Lin said calmly, "Did you see that? I just said one sentence, and your opponent has already collapsed psychologically."
Fatty had already lost it. After logging into the platform, he indeed saw a banner floating above; the entire platform was promoting it.
"Congratulations to Talent Killer Lü Liang for successfully passing the review and becoming our second Streamer! Please go follow our new Streamer!"
With that, Fatty's mouth couldn't stop moving. The thing he had been eagerly waiting for had actually been snatched away by Lü Liang?
"What is going on? Can someone tell me? Which blind fool approved this wooden block? What else can he do besides fight?"
"He has a higher profile," Lin couldn't help but interject.
"That's not fair, bro! The long-standing underdog is mine! I should be second!" Fatty Chen continued to shout.
"His profile is higher than yours," Lin shrugged.
"Woo woo woo... Why can he do it, but I can't..."
"His popularity... No, it's because you didn't apply. He did, it's that simple."
...
Far away on the other side of the screen, Lu Liang was in disarray in the wind, watching Lin and Fatty perform a duet like an audience member.
"Hey... I'm the expert here. Shouldn't I be the one showing off?"
Lu Liang weakly questioned, but the two people across from him were still engaged in a heated discussion, completely ignoring him.
With his head hanging low, Lu Liang felt as if his world had turned dark. He couldn't help but start to grumble: "Alright, so I'm here to show off? But it seems... like Lin is the one showing off again?"
Wait? Why do I have to say 'again'?
...
Lu Liang was still too young and had spent too little time with Lin; otherwise, he would have realized that trying to show off next to Lin was as difficult as climbing a mountain!
