The Blonde Boy was still tangled in his thoughts when a comment from Lin interrupted his contemplation.
On the screen, Lin was trying to make conversation and casually mentioned, "Yesterday, I received a lot of strange messages. Many academies from Wuyuan Star contacted me, and today a fan sent me a text message. I wonder if it was someone here?"
The shift in topic changed the direction of the comments, and many people began to ask what kind of message Lin had received.
Lin's words were vague; he didn't dare to reveal the whole truth as it was too shocking and wouldn't benefit him at all.
He had to maintain a facade, but some facades were too risky to uphold and could lead to trouble.
This matter was naturally instigated by the Blonde Boy in front of the screen. Upon hearing Lin's inquiry, he felt an overwhelming excitement.
"It’s me!"
The boy finally broke through his mental barrier and sent a comment in the Bullet Screen Group, but the comments were scrolling too quickly, and his message was immediately drowned out.
Lowering his head, the boy sent another message to Lin: "Bro, it was me!"
…
Standing by the bus stop, Lin felt utterly bored. Waiting was the most tedious thing. Just as he was trying to engage with the audience like Fatty did, he suddenly heard the "ding ding" sound of a new message prompt.
Lin opened the message, squinting slightly. It was from the Mysterious Fan from earlier that morning. The message was simple, but Lin understood it.
Indeed, the Mysterious Fan had a terrifying background; he was behind the Wuyuan Star academy messaging incident.
After thinking for a moment, Lin looked up at the computer screen and said, "Thank you. Although I didn’t go to any other academies, I still appreciate your kindness."
This statement came quite suddenly; only those astute viewers could guess its meaning, and only the Blonde Boy in front of the screen could truly understand it.
It was just a simple word of thanks, and Lin Ye didn't think much of it. He didn't want to get entangled with this fan; a deep background meant there would be many dangers in their interactions.
So Lin didn't reply to the message, nor did he save any contact information. At this stage, he didn't believe he could reach out to such a "terrifying high-ranking individual."
Controlling all the academies on Wuyuan Star, this fan's background likely surpassed even the power of the Solar Ranger Academy government. Even high-ranking officials from the Solar Ranger Academy couldn't accomplish such a feat.
Moreover, ordinary people wouldn't expend such enormous energy to do this. There was a world of difference between being able to make Wuyuan Star do something and actually getting it done.
This fan's actions indicated that even if he requested the academies of Wuyuan Star to do something, it wouldn't be difficult for him to achieve it.
As Lin suspected, this young man's background was extremely formidable, and Wuyuan Star had to take his family very seriously.
Although Lin wanted to brush off the matter and not get entangled with the young man any further, the Blonde Boy across from him had different thoughts and was unusually excited at that moment.
Suddenly, Lin saw a banner float across the live streaming screen:
[Ding! Starry Radiance sends Chef Lin 114 Hero Coins]
The number "114" represented "a lifetime," signifying the fans' extreme affirmation of the streamer! This was thirteen million Interstellar Coins; who would dare play around like this if they weren't a true Tycoon?
In an instant, not only was Lin stunned, but even the viewers in the live stream were taken aback. The barrage of comments froze for a full minute without scrolling.
[Ding! Congratulations Chef Lin for obtaining the first Guardian; Starry Radiance's fan value has reached 1000, earning the title of Culinary God! Everyone come worship the Tycoon!]
After the banner disappeared, a site-wide push notification followed. As the message was sent out, Starry Radiance's name was pinned at the top of the comment section, with its red nickname right next to Lin's name.
"This..."
Lin felt a tickle in his throat as if something was lodged there, preventing him from speaking.
Thank you?
No, Lin felt a bit anxious. He realized that things were not going as he wished; it seemed he was going to be entangled with this mysterious fan.
After a minute of pause, the barrage of comments surged wildly!
The phrase "Worship Tycoon!" flooded the screen, and because so many people were sending comments at the same time, many smart Virtual Screens began to lag!
The entire Live Streaming room was set ablaze!
The lagging issue became increasingly severe, and in desperation, the System had no choice but to activate the mute function while simultaneously prompting visitors: [Please do not spam the screen].
The Blonde Boy in front of the Virtual Screen smiled brightly, a sense of pride welling up from his heart, even making him want to buy a spaceship ticket to meet Lin right away.
Lin's expression was neither happy nor displeased; he only showed signs of hesitation and contemplation.
This was Lin's first time earning money, yet he wasn't particularly pleased because he could sense that behind this more than ten million was a corresponding "big trouble."
Trouble was what Lin hated the most.
But the situation had already occurred, and Lin couldn't stop it. Although there was some worry within Lin Xin, the other effects were still quite good.
With the appearance of this lavish spender, "Super Tycoon", the search popularity for Lin on the internet reached new heights.
The number of visitors, which had already been rising rapidly, welcomed another wave of frenzy. In just a minute, the number doubled, reaching over six million!
"Tycoon tipped Chef Lin a staggering amount; what secrets lie behind this?"
"Annual Dark Horse Lin suspected to have caught the eye of a wealthy heiress!"
"Today's top Tycoon! Millions of Interstellar Coins just to make Streamer smile!"
The ensuing butterfly effect was astonishing. In less than ten minutes, Lin experienced another surge in popularity!
The trending topics in this city were once again blown up, and it was the same topic that caused the explosion!
...
However, this intense excitement brought Lin a sense of anxiety. He pressed his dry lips together and forced a stiff smile, saying, "Thank you for the donations from Starry Radiance."
But everyone was currently muted, and no one responded to Lin, which was exactly what he wished for, avoiding direct confrontation with this "Mysterious Fan."
As Lin's mind wandered, a familiar engine roar sounded nearby. He saw the Silver Sports Car, Lightning, speeding towards him!
"Everyone, I'm about to attend the Chef Examination! Look, the car is here!"
Quickly diverting everyone's attention, Lin turned the Camera to give a close-up of Lightning as it approached, while he secretly wiped the sweat from his brow behind the Camera.
The rapidly approaching Lightning captured everyone's attention. The audience followed Lin's lead; with a new topic at hand, the old one naturally faded into the background.
This multi-million dollar 【Chef Guardian】 was intentionally forgotten in the corner after just ten minutes of fame.
