Chapter 127: A New Story
Chen Feng continued along the path in a dour mood. His infinite resentment finally transformed into an emotionless huff.
“Director Chen, Li Tai is too haughty for not giving you face,” Yang Yue grunted.
“Hmph! Their happiness will be short-lived!”
Chen Feng’s voice was filled with malice. He paused for a moment, then took out his phone.
“Hello, Master Shi. It’s me, Chen Feng!”
“Director Chen, it’s rare for you to call me.” Shi Lei’s voice could be heard on the other end of the phone.
“I heard that I am Hero is preparing to have a showdown with Huo Yuanjia?” Chen Feng probed.
“That’s right,” Shi Lei answered directly.
Chen Feng’s lips curved into a smile. “Then would you like to have an extra ally? I’ve heard that Li Jing is the lead actor in Huo Yuanjia.”
“Li Jing?!” Shi Lei was surprised, then scoffed. “It seems that Li Tai will be openly going against Wu Han!”
...
Half an hour later, Chen Feng ended the call with a sweet smile on his face.
“Director Chen, what’s the matter? What has this got to do with Wu Han?” Yang Yue asked.
“Hehe, it has everything to do with Wu Han! Not only did Li Tai piss me off, he’s going against Wu Han at the same time! Wu Han has already placed Huo Yuanjia into his ban list. Soon, we’ll have a good show coming up!” Chen Feng sneered. “Luckily Li Tai sent us off today. Otherwise, we might have gone on the path of no return.”
Yang Yue let out a deep breath, grinning in delight.
“Huo Yuanjia will be no match since Wu Han will be starring in I am Hero!”
“Starring Wu Han?!” Yang Yue was surprised. Wu Han was the idol of countless women with the nickname of Prince of Popularity. The box office sales were guaranteed!
If Wu Han joined the fray, then Huo Yuanjia would surely lose!
“Wahahaha, that’s right!” Chen Feng bellowed, “Unfortunately Wu Han’s appearance fee is very steep. Shi Lei still lacked some fundings. I plan to invest in I am Hero for now, then when their box office sales explode, I can get a good portion of it too!”
His eyes gave off a vicious look. When Director Li’s Huo Yuanjia flopped and his investment in I am Hero reaped profits, he will surely give Li Tai a good round of stomping just to show Li Tai the consequences of opposing him.
“Director Chen, this is a once in a lifetime chance!” Yang Yue hugged herself tightly against Chen Feng’s round body, smiling coyly. “When Director Chen achieved greatness, you mustn’t forget me.”
“Hahaha, that will depend on your performance.” Chen Feng wrapped his arms around Yang Yue’s slender waist as they wandered off into the distance with a creepy chuckle.
Ye Lingchen was oblivious to the incidents that happened as he spent the entire day preparing the contents of his next live stream.
...
The very next day.
During Ye Lingchen’s morning routine, he unwittingly stole a few glances at Li Muxue’s villa.
After eating the breakfast that Zhang Yunxi prepared, he went straight to university.
“Ye’zi, that He Yuan is just too shameless!” Little Gen angrily huffed beside Ye Lingchen.
“What happened?” Ye Lingchen asked.
“The inter-university basketball competition team did not include you in their lineup. They’ll be heading for a training camp this week and next weekend will be the inter-university basketball competition. It’s definitely intentional!” Little Gen grunted through gritted teeth.
“Yeah Ye’zi. Your basketball skills were obvious for all to see during the last competition. He Yuan is just trash compared to you. Excluding you from the inter-university basketball competition is him trying to keep you out of sight!” Potato then added, “Damn it. If I had the chance I will surely go expose him to the university authorities!”
“This is a showdown with our rival Huaqing University, yet He Yuan is misusing his powers for a personal vendetta,” Xiang interjected, “Every inter-university basketball competition will have our university officials taking parts. Not allowing Ye’zi to take part is He Yuan’s ploy to show himself off.”
Ye Lingchen brushed it off with a smile. “It’s okay, I can enjoy the free time then.”
All the fame in the eyes of these students was worthless to him. Would a university student place any importance on elementary school student awards?
“Ye’zi, you’re just too easy going. You’re that amazing, why not show it off a little more?” Little Gen asked out of frustration.
Ye Lingchen just gave him a wordless smile.
After that, Ye Lingchen finally had some free time to himself. The morning was the usual routine. He went to class if there were any, followed by the live stream in the evening. The rest of the time he would either spend them looking for rare books to boost his knowledge or discuss Y-Cosmetics business details with Zhang Yunxi while teaching her some tricks on makeup.
To run the cosmetics store, Ye Lingchen had maxed out his proficiency in Makeup skill to 100 percent. Not to brag, but even if he had a pig standing in front of him, he could turn it into... a beautiful pig.
At 9pm on the third night, Ye Lingchen slowly narrated the last sentence, bringing a complete ending to the Grave Robber’s Chronicles.
Meanwhile, the entire stream’s online viewers had reached a total of 1,100,000 viewers. That was definitely at the level of the elite hosts of Huyu.
At that moment, the entire stream burst forth with comments.
[That’s all? This is depressing.]
[Thank you host for providing us with such an exciting story of the Grave Robber’s Chronicles. Thank you!]
[Host, your story is completed. Are you ready to show your face?]
[Now that I think of it, with so many Ys out there, can you let us know if you guys are related?]
...
Ye Lingchen rarely read the chats, just watching the comments as they flew by his screen.
“Next, I will bring to everyone another story,” Ye Lingchen’s low voice drifted over slowly from the darkness of the screen.
“As a friendly reminder, this story... is not for the faint-hearted!”
[OMG! A new story?!]
[What a pleasant surprise! Y-God you’re the best!]
[Not for the faint-hearted? Could this be scarier than Grave Robber’s Chronicles? I can’t wait.]
[Y-God, can you give us a spoiler? What genre is it?]
[Ahhh, Y-God, you’re doing this on purpose! You’ve just piqued my interest, I won’t be able to sleep tonight...]
The comments exploded with excitement. Everyone was cheering nonstop.
“With that, I’ll present to you the new story tomorrow at the same time. I’ll see you all then!”
Ye Lingchen ignored the wailing and begging on the comments and resolutely turned off the live stream.
Ring~!
Almost at the same time, Ye Lingchen’s phone rang.
As expected, it was a call from Song Qian.
“Hello, Y-God, you’ve already thought of a new story? Why didn’t you discuss it with us first?” Song Qian sounded worried, “Don’t you think that’s too rushed? Why don’t you wait a few days and plan the outline first?”
It might take some time for an average person to come up with a new story, but Ye Lingchen was just going through this without any pause in between.
He could not afford not to worry. After all, Ye Lingchen was Huyu’s main attraction. If his next story flopped, then all the effort put in previously would be for naught.
“No need to plan, my story is ready,” Ye Lingchen replied nonchalantly. “Just wait for my stream tomorrow.”
