Chapter 102: Xu Anlin’s Social Death

At S University’s welcome party.

Shortly after Wang Haoran and the others left.

Unaware that his targets had all left, Xu Anlin was eagerly waiting for his turn to perform.

“Next, let us welcome our new student, Xu Anlin, to perform his original song ‘Slow Motion’!”

As the host’s voice fell, Xu Anlin, accompanied by applause, slowly walked onto the stage.

Having rehearsed countless times, Xu Anlin was confident about this performance.

He calmly greeted the audience, then raised the microphone.

“Follow my right hand, left hand in a slow motion~”

“Left hand, right hand, replay in slow motion~”

Xu Anlin sang while making hand gestures.

He couldn’t spot Liu Xinyao and Chen Ranni in the bustling audience, but he knew they were silently supporting him. They were probably amazed by this talent he had never shown before!

Thinking this, Xu Anlin sang with even more motivation.

“Oh, this song brings you joy~ Have you fallen in love with me~!”

Xu Anlin sang with increasing confidence.

After more than ten minutes.

Reaching the climax of the song, he closed his eyes, lifted his head, and stretched out his left hand.

“The sun of this world shines on me because of my confidence~ The center of this stage shines because of me~!”

“Youth has so many unknown confusions, what are the troubles of growing up~ Yeah~”

“Don’t say sorry~ Rush forward with all your might~!”

Xu Anlin sang the final line with all his might, eyes closed in bliss.

Holding his pose, he expected applause. But it didn’t come.

Even the usual noise had stopped.

Three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds.

Still quiet. Xu Anlin, very puzzled, couldn’t help but open his eyes and look at the audience.

Everyone was silent, staring in shock at something behind him.

Curious, Xu Anlin turned around.

On the large LCD screen, originally displaying beautiful campus views, a video was playing.

In the video, a man was—

“?!”

Seeing the familiar environment, the face he saw in the mirror daily, the wandering hands, the ecstatic expression, Xu Anlin’s scalp tingled, and he trembled.

Damn, who’s framing me!

Not only did they secretly record my private moment, but they also played it in public!

If you’re going to mosaic it, why not do it on the face too!

Xu Anlin’s mind exploded, and he dropped the microphone.

“This… this… isn’t… me…”

Seeing the high-definition face, Xu Anlin couldn’t refute and didn’t know how to react, standing there red-faced and flustered.

By the time the backstage crew responded, everyone had pretty much seen it.

When the screen finally cut off, the audience erupted in intense discussion.

“Haha, my eyes are burned! What is this!”

“Damn, this song with this MV, perfect!”

“This isn’t slow motion, is it? His hand speed is pretty fast!”

“He must’ve been single since birth! Must practice a lot!”

“Tsk tsk, showcasing his skills on stage, ‘confidence’ doesn’t even cover it!”

“Even though it’s mosaicked, I know what it is—Little Flying Dagger~ coming at ya~”

“So ‘rush forward’ in the lyrics means this! Wow, I’m too innocent!”

“I respect this student, sacrificing his dating prospects for four years just to entertain us!”

Some recognized the milk tea shop environment and Xu Anlin’s identity as the owner.

“Damn, I sat in that chair today!”

“Ew—! Gross! The table’s contaminated, never going there again! Not even ordering delivery!”

“Haha, what goes through this owner’s mind, doing such things in his own shop!”

The host, equally shocked, quickly went on stage to announce the next act.

Even so, the audience kept talking.

Hearing the chatter, Xu Anlin was devastated.

He didn’t know how he was pulled off stage, but he knew he was now infamous at S University. Someone might even nickname him “Craftsman King”!

Thinking about the future repercussions, Xu Anlin was close to vomiting blood.

As a reborn individual, he planned to use this party to rise to fame. He did become famous, but in the worst way!

Damn it, who did this! Don’t let me catch you! If I do, I’ll make you livestream crafting skills 24/7 until you’re gone!

As Xu Anlin, cursing and fleeing from his classmates’ suppressed laughter, left the scene,

the masterminds, Wang Haoran and his accomplice Zhou Yinyin, were chatting leisurely at home.

[Ding! Protagonist Xu Anlin experiences total social death, losing all face and suffering career setbacks! Xu Anlin’s protagonist halo -250, Host’s Fate Points +250, Ability Points +25]

[Xu Anlin’s remaining protagonist halo: 600; Host’s Fate Points: 1100; Ability Points: 130]

Hearing the system prompt, Wang Haoran knew Xu Anlin had become infamous at the school.

He wondered if Xu Anlin would sleep well tonight.

Wang Haoran hoped Xu Anlin would rest well, or he might not withstand tomorrow’s blow.

After all, as her brother-in-law, he had promised his sister-in-law to help her break up!
