Chapter 1

"They say the commission isn't paid out daily."

"You bombed that shrine in the island nation too?"

"Mm, they owe me back pay."

Police officer: "One last question — is the AK any good?"

Lu Shu: "Not really, because the blood splashes all over you."

Lu Shu answered the questions honestly and properly, only to notice that everyone in the room seemed dumbfounded.

Chapter 001: And Now, the College Student Takes the Stage!

Yong'an City, Beihai University of Science and Technology.

College students who had just finished their long vacation were returning to campus one after another,

and the gates of Dadexiao Sect were bustling with activity.

A young reporter lady with a little badge pinned to her chest

was smiling at the camera as she began to speak.

"Hello, everyone online!"

"Welcome to the documentary-style program *Inspiring Youth*, specially authorized by the Central Station!"

"Thank you all for your support of the first two seasons of *Inspiring Youth*. This third season will continue the format of full-process tracking and live broadcast."

"This time, our cameras will be aimed at these vibrant, energetic college students!"

"No regrets in youth, an inspiring life!"

"Please stay tuned!"

And after the young reporter lady finished her opening spiel,

the bullet comments in the livestream came rolling in like a flurry of snowflakes.

"Haha, finally seeing you again, Susu. Three hundred and sixty-two days and nights of missing you."

"Wuwu! *Inspiring Youth* Season 3 is finally starting? Confetti!!"

"The subjects of the first two seasons almost made me cry my heart out — so inspiring!"

"This season's focus is actually contemporary college students? What a nostalgia trip..."

"Get started! I need my chicken soup for the soul!!!"

*Inspiring Youth*

This is a youth-inspirational documentary program backed by the Central Station.

The program mainly documents the people and stories of those who forge ahead and strive upward in everyday life.

Nobody expected

that in this smog-choked era,

this kind of chicken-soup-for-the-soul program that sounds embarrassing and awkward just hearing the name

would actually explode in popularity!

When the first two seasons aired, every major platform and livestream relay broke historical traffic records!

It could almost always spark nationwide conversation!

The subjects of the first two seasons were all people grinding away out in society,

and the theme of the third season

is documenting the inspiring youth of contemporary college students.

College students —

the moment this much-debated term appeared,

it immediately pushed the program to yet another peak!

When the show premiered, it already had no fewer than a million viewers.

"Hi there, student!"

After the opening,

the young reporter lady had already gone ahead and interviewed a student from Dadexiao Sect.

"What did you do during this semester's winter break? Is there anything meaningful you could share with us?"

That student from Dadexiao Sect glanced at the *Inspiring Youth* badge pinned to the topic,

and his gaze instantly sharpened, his burly frame giving a sudden quiver.

"You're the *Inspiring Youth* crew?"

"Mm-hmm, that's right."

"Oh, oh, I didn't really do anything, really. Just washed my parents' feet, did some housework, and helped some old ladies across the street, that sort of thing."

"So, student, do you feel this winter break was meaningful?"

"Meaningful! During this winter break I kept thinking about my life, and I've decided to become a person who shines and gives off warmth!"

That student clenched one fist,

his face solemn,

"Ha! Good! That's spirit!"

"This student's ideological awareness seems a little out of the ordinary!"

"Haha! If I hadn't actually been to college myself, I almost would've believed it!"

"Huh? Isn't that Zhang Yihao? What the hell are you putting on here? When the heck did you ever help an old lady across the street?"

"We were clearly eating chicken, setting off firecrackers, and blowing up cow dung together over break — you forgot already?"

"Act! Keep on acting, you bastard!"

"Hahaha! Looks like a fellow student saw right through him!"

The popularity of 【Inspiring Youth】 was simply too high,

and some of the viewers were students from the very same school,

so that student's acting was ruthlessly exposed,

and he hurriedly covered his face and fled.

"Only truth moves people. If you happen to be interviewed, please be sure to tell the truth."

The young reporter lady smiled gently to smooth things over,

The reason 【Inspiring Youth】 had gone viral

was precisely because it emphasized sincerity!

"Mm, there's another student over there. Let's go interview him too."

The young reporter lady walked briskly toward another student who was just about to enter Beihai University.

That student was wearing a plain black tracksuit, clearly very simple and unadorned,

only his complexion was a touch pale.
