Chapter 249: Title: God Of Popularity

　　“Everyone, the world’s richest man, Lin Ye, is distributing red packets worth a total of 10,000,000 zombie souls in the Nine States region. Each red packet has a share of 10,000. You can randomly receive a red packet reward when you follow Lin ye, drop him a like, and subscribe to him. With just three consecutive clicks, you can receive free zombie souls.”

　　“Master Lin is awesome ~ ~”

　　“Master Lin is invincible!!!”

　　“Master Lin, I love you!!!”

　　“F*ck, a spy from the Universe Empire has sneaked in! In the end, I just want to say that Master Lin is the most awesome one. Please let me get 10,000. Please!!!”

　　“Master Lin, I’ve decided. From today onwards, I won’t slander you anymore. Please cancel your blockade and let me be your crazy fan!”

　　“+1. I was an anti-fan but now I am not. Master Lin, please, give me a chance. I love you! Saranghaeyo! ”

　　….

　　In an instant, the comments section was flooded with good reviews.

　　The scene in front of Lin Ye was also surrounded by countless numbers.

　　Followers+1, Followers+1…

　　Likes+1, likes+1…

　　Subscription+1, Subscription+1…

　　100xReward.

　　Followers+100, 100…

　　Likes+100, 100…

　　Subscription+100, 100…

　　“Congratulations to Survivor. Your followers have reached 1.1 billion. You’ve been given 1.5 billion likes and have a subscription of 800 million!”

　　In the region of the Nine States.

　　“Hahaha, I actually managed to get 23,000 zombie souls. Thank you for your red packet, Master Lin. You are so generous. From now on, I’ll be your loyal fan!”

　　“I managed to snatch 15,000 zombie souls. Master Lin is too strong. Does the big boss still lack accessories? I’ll be your bed warmer.”

　　“Sobs, f*ck you lucky bastards. Most of the profits have been taken by you all. I only got 5,000!”

　　“2000 ~ ~ Master Lin, is there a second red packet? If not, I’ll ask again later!”

　　“I’ve got 1000 only. Master Lin, I don’t believe in you anymore. Why did you fail to appreciate my kindness! (Dog-headed.jpg)”

　　“Same here, Master Lin. (Sniff.jpg)”

　　…

　　A moment later, the atmosphere intensified.

　　Followers -100, Subscription -100…

　　“What the f*ck, how can this trigger a hundredfold reward?” Lin Ye stared, a bit angry.

　　The system took the initiative to reply, “The prerequisite for following and triggering it a hundred times is that the other party follows you. Once they retract it, you will lose your source. Without the source, the hundredfold reward will also lose its effect.”

　　“What a scam!” Lin Ye snorted.

　　The number of followers he had was indeed dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.

　　In a few seconds, it dropped to 1,3140,000! His subscriptions also dropped to 9,980,000!

　　The only thing that did not change was the Likes. It was still 1.5 billion.

　　This scene wasn’t only shown to Lin Ye, but also to the billions of spectators.

　　Especially in the world channel, there were many people who ridiculed him.

　　“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. Is this what it means to be a citizen of the Nine States? This is too f*cking realistic. After receiving the money, they directly retracted their following and subscription!”

　　“Good lord, 1.1 billion becoming 1.31 million. I don’t even dare to think about it!”

　　“Spit, he deserves it. Who asked him to not send red packets on the world channel? Send it here. I promise that I won’t retract it!”

　　“That’s right. We strongly condemn such discrimination. Since he’s the richest man in the world, he can’t treat us differently!”

　　….

　　“Forget it, I won’t lower myself to their level.”

　　After a few glances, Lin Ye sighed.

　　What else could he do?

　　What a waste!

　　No one could be sure about human nature.

　　He ignored the comments from the world chat and turned to the third leaderboard.

　　On the Popularity Leaderboard.

　　When his fingers touched it, nine rainbows instantly lit up.

　　“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye. Through the forums, market pages, short videos, the number of Likes given to your novels, the number of your followers, the number of your subscribers, and other statistics, you have temporarily reached the top of the rankings with 2.3 billion reputation points this week. If you persist for a month, you will receive a generous reward. Please work harder.”

　　“Do you wish to announce this globally?”

　　“Oh?” Lin Ye smirked and clicked confirm.

　　On the world channel.

　　Once again, the same grand scene appeared. Then, ten rainbows of light appeared again.

　　“Congratulations to Survivor Lin Ye for taking the top spot on the global Popularity Leaderboard with 2.3 billion reputation points. He has been conferred the title of the God of Popularity!”

　　Upon seeing this scene, the people who were still complaining were dumbfounded.

　　Even those who did not complain initially could not help it but do so now.

　　This person was crazy.

　　The more they scolded him, the more popular and stronger Lin Ye became?

　　Of the five major leaderboards, two were already occupied by Lin Ye alone.

　　God of Popularity…

　　Pui!

　　More like the God of Cheating or the God of Pissing People Off.

　　Soon, the number of people complaining increased tenfold.

　　However, the legend that belonged to Lin Ye had just begun.

　　Next was the fourth leaderboard, the Combat Leaderboard.

　　When Lin Ye clicked on it, a row of information was displayed in front of him.

　　“You can enter the challenge tower and record a clone of yourself who can then challenge 20 people every day. The higher the cultivation level of the opponents you beat, the higher your combat score will be!”

　　Current globally recorded candidates: 1.5 billion.

　　“Survivor Lin Ye, congratulations on triggering the Combat Leaderboard. Do you wish to enter the challenge tower immediately to record your clone?”

　　Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. This challenge tower seemed to be in another space.

　　After some thought, he clicked confirm.

　　Swish!

　　A flash of light landed and his figure disappeared from the Lin Clan’s territory.

　　At the same time, many human lords in the core team also discovered the Combat Leaderboard and soon vanished like Lin Ye.

　　Whoosh—

　　In an unknown space, an invisible wave descended.

　　This was an enormous empty space, and at the center was a huge square.

　　At this moment, a dense crowd of people descended into the square. They were all human lords.

　　“Where is this?”

　　“The system prompted that it seems to be called the Combat Ability Space.”

　　“Look, isn’t that tower a challenge tower?”

　　“I think so. Everyone, come over quickly. There’s a combat strength clone in front of us. It’s right here!”

　　…

　　After hearing a great deal of discussion around him, Lin Ye narrowed his eyes and woke up from being teleported.

　　“My lord? You’re here too.”

　　Suddenly, a few familiar voices came from behind.

　　It was Li Xinyi, Zhang Liang, Han Qingqing, Li Xiaofeng, and the others.

　　Lin Ye nodded. “Let’s go and take a look!”

　　As soon as they arrived, the bright silver equipment on their bodies attracted everyone’s attention. They could not help but make way for them.

　　“Oh my god, this set of equipment must be at least a Level 4 Silver Tier one!”

　　“This is too exaggerated. I only have a Level 3 Purple Tier weapon which I bought from the market page of God Lin.”

　　“Wait, Almighty Lin? Are you talking about Lin Ye again?”

　　“Nonsense. Who else can be called a god these days but Lin Ye?”

　　“Oh, now that you mention it, take a look. Doesn’t the young man leading look familiar?”

　　“F*ck, he… he is Lin Ye. My Civilization Archive even has his first video. It’s definitely him!!”

　　“Screech—”

　　In an instant, everyone present gasped and the air turned heavy.

　　But soon, someone broke the silence.

　　“God Lin, is that you? Is that really you?”

　　Lin Ye looked back at a sixteen-year-old boy with pimples on his face.

　　He was slightly plump and was not tall, but his eyes were especially spirited and clear like a stream.

　　At this moment, he was staring at him excitedly.

　　“Hello.” Lin Ye nodded with a smile.

　　“It’s really you, God Lin. I’m your crazy fan. My name is Zhang Chao. Can I have your autograph?” The little fatty was very strong. He charged out of the crowd and ran towards Lin Ye with all his might.

　　“Halt!”

　　Li Xinyi looked wary and waved her hand.

　　Gasp!

　　A red glow struck the rock in front of Zhang Chao.

　　In an instant, the soil and rocks exploded, creating a crack that was several meters long.

　　The little fatty staggered in fright and almost fell down.

　　“I… I mean no harm! I just want an autograph…”

　　Zhang Chao said nervously.

　　With that, he handed a short 2B pencil and a piece of paper that was of poor quality but was very clean to Lin Ye with an expectant look..
