Major websites are broadcasting videos of the Zhou Lin terracotta warriors paying homage.
The click-through rate of these videos reached tens of millions in just a few minutes.
When netizens saw this video, it caused an uproar.
Inside the school at this moment.
A student who was not studying properly saw this video and felt a surge of excitement.
When he came to his senses, he realized the teacher was standing beside him at some unknown time, startling him into quickly shutting off his phone.
"Teacher, I know I was wrong. I'll go stand outside for punishment now."
The student said, getting up and heading towards the door.
"Give me your phone, and you go out."
The teacher extended his hand, asking for the student's phone.
And so, on the podium, the teacher began to watch Zhou Lin's video in front of the entire class.
Below the video were comments.
"Damn, how can I be the only one to see such a shocking scene? I should be watching this with my wife right now, it's simply too amazing?"
"My god, the moment the terracotta warriors knelt, I was stunned, goosebumps all over my body."
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a scene, the image is still vivid in my mind."
"We're all novelists, but the big shot is truly amazing. I can only eat instant noodles miserably. Damn, this is fate?"
Netizens below the video were discussing, each one looking at Zhou Lin with envy.
As the protagonist of this event, Zhou Lin.
Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Zhou Lin coughed lightly and then looked at everyone opposite him.
"Ahem, it was truly terrifying, it scared me to death. I almost lost my life for five million."
Zhou Lin retracted all his bloodline power and then looked at Elder Tang beside him.
With a look of lingering fear.
Elder Tang looked at Zhou Lin's shameless expression and twitched his mouth.
Elder Tang: Are you ashamed? You just extorted another five million, what are you afraid of?
Professor Lin:…
Biologist:…
Historian:…
Gymnastics champion and Olympic champion:…
Taoist priest:…
Archaeological team:…
Netizens:…
It was truly remarkable to see someone extort others and still be so righteous.
"Little friend Zhou Lin, can you explain why these terracotta warriors knelt to you? And why did they pay homage to you?"
Elder Tang was the first to recover and asked eagerly.
"Kneel? Kneel to me? Has my handsome face already mesmerized them? I knew it, I'm so good-looking that I attract everyone, regardless of gender."
Zhou Lin feigned surprise, looking at Elder Tang, then narcissistically touched his chin, acting like a dissolute rogue.
Everyone:…
Where do you get the confidence to think you're the most handsome?
"Is there any possibility that it's because you're terrifying?"
The Taoist priest was the first to speak.
"I'm terrifying? Is it because I found some 'life gate' and they thought I was very powerful? It must be so. I told you, Elder Tang, bringing me along was the right choice. Look, these terracotta warriors were all scared by me."
Zhou Lin continued to play dumb.
He was still a little nervous internally. Would they think he had some connection with the First Emperor?
It would be better to clarify things now, lest he be sent to a scientific research institute after going out, which would be a mess.
Seeing Zhou Lin's evasive demeanor, Elder Tang felt that what he saw earlier might have been a coincidence.
This kid might have just stumbled upon it.
Besides…
So many people were present when the terracotta warriors knelt, it wasn't necessarily directed at Zhou Lin…
But…
He couldn't even fool himself, who would believe him if he said it?
Looking at Zhou Lin's expression, it was clear he didn't want to reveal the truth.
"Since everyone is fine, let's leave quickly. There's no point in lingering here."
Elder Tang turned to the security guards behind him and asked them to open the door.
In the live broadcast room.
"Haha, I strongly suspect the big shot is doing this on purpose, he just doesn't want to say."
"Exactly, I think so too. The big shot definitely doesn't want to expose himself, that's why he's acting like this. But the big shot's eyes are so sincere, I almost believed him."
"Haha, me too, but the big shot is truly handsome. Whoever dares to say my big shot isn't handsome, I'll fight them to the death."
"Yes, I think so too."
As the archaeological team pushed open the door, they saw a long corridor before them.
Elder Tang and Zhou Lin walked at the front. Despite Zhou Lin's strenuous denial, Elder Tang still looked at him with a higher regard.
He believed Zhou Lin was definitely not just a simple novelist.
"Little friend Zhou Lin, you seem to be in dire need of money?"
Elder Tang asked in a low voice.
"Isn't that obvious? You have no idea, as a novelist, I've presented my best writing and stories to everyone, but my wallet is getting thinner by the day."
"I eat a pack of instant noodles three times, and I can't eat too much, otherwise I'll be drinking the northwest wind next month."
Zhou Lin launched into his complaining mode, pouring out his woes without giving Elder Tang a chance to speak.
"How about this, little friend. As long as you tell me why those terracotta warriors knelt to you just now, I'll apply for ten million for you. You're already a millionaire, and with some more, it'll be enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life."
Elder Tang said softly, deliberately lowering his voice so as not to be heard by those behind him, acting very mysterious.
Zhou Lin's mouth twitched. Was there any need for such a test?
Trying to bribe him with money, could he be bribed like that? Was he the kind of person who could be bought with money?
The answer was yes.
"Elder Tang, I'll tell you the truth. I do have some special abilities. For example, the novels I write are all about tomb raiding, right? Because I'm a Taoist priest, I know everything."
"Let me tell you, don't tell anyone else, I have a cultivation aura on me."
"What you saw just now was me cultivating. I only didn't reveal my identity because I saw there was a Taoist priest in our team. Wouldn't that be awkward for both of us?"
"I've told you everything, you can't go back on your word about the money."
"Deceiving a Taoist priest is immoral…"
Zhou Lin, fearing Elder Tang would renege, quickly covered his tracks.
