Chapter 74

“Ring-a-ling.”

“You guys go ahead, I’m taking a call.”

Lin Yu saw the incoming call on his phone and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

“Sister Reba! What’s up?”

“Wanting it again?”

Lin Yu said with a grin, reminiscing about last night’s revelry.

“Get lost!”

“Don’t even mention it. Because of you, I can’t even film today. I had to tell the crew I injured my ligament while riding a horse. It’s all your fault.”

Sister Reba whispered coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

“Next time you can say you were riding a camel.”

“You already know my size, don’t you?”

Lin Yu waved at the cameraman not far away, signaling that he would be chatting for a while and to go film someone else first.

“That’s true.”

“Pfft, pfft, pfft.”

“Let’s talk business. Our Boss Yang wants to talk to you.”

Sister Reba’s face turned red, and she was a bit distracted.

Yesterday, Lin Yu really opened Sister Reba’s eyes and left her amazed.

It was like the instant feeling of Sun Sun Wukong causing havoc in the East Sea Dragon Palace with his Golden Cudgel.

“Boss Yang? Yang Mi?!”

“What? Does she want to taste Old Lin’s cudgel too?”

Lin Yu’s mind stirred, and he spoke to probe.

That beautiful silhouette couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Although Da Da Mi Mi didn't have any particularly dazzling works in the industry, she had always remained in the first tier, which had a lot to do with Yang Mi’s emotional intelligence.

Of course, that pair of round magical artifacts was also one of the important reasons for Sister Mi’s enduring popularity.

Lin Yu also didn't expect that he would be in contact with Boss Yang so soon.

“It should be related to 'Escape Room'.”

“Sister Mi invested in 'Escape Room' before, but the ratings for these few episodes haven't been very good.”

“So...”

“So you’re using me as a tool?”

Lin Yu took over the conversation and feigned indignation.

And by evening,

Lin Yu’s phone, which was charging, almost exploded on the spot.

[Running Man Family]

[Director Yao, you brat, how did you end up at Fruit TV? Don’t you know we are mortal enemies with them?]

[Sha Yi: I went to Mushroom House to be an undercover agent, but this kid Lin Yu’s composition is very complicated.]

[Bai Lu: Sister Zifeng is still a little sister; you didn't even spare a child. Are you even human?]

[Song Song Yuqi: Look down on you (contemptuous face)]

[Zheng Kai: Starting to think the Running Man team is old, huh?]

[Li Chen: Heartbroken. Lin Yu is just a dog that can’t be tamed.]

[Zhou Shen: What part of me is not as good as Zhang Zhang Yixing?]

“........”

Lin Yu smiled, then tapped on the keyboard a few times.

[Lin Yu: Do you want me to make the WeChat group public and let Teacher Huang and Teacher He see your ugly faces?]

[Director Yao: Uh... actually! There’s no need for that.]

[Everyone: Lin Yu, we’re just joking, don’t take it seriously.]

Three days later,

Lin Yu woke up leisurely in a hotel room in Yanbian, Linji.

[Ding]

[Opening the Eye-Catching System Panel]

Name: Lin Yu

Age: 20

Speed: 100 (Max Level)

Strength: 100 (Max Level)

Stamina: 100 (Max Level)

Acting: Level 3

Martial Arts: Horse Stance, Wudang Cloud Ladder

Deduction: 3 seconds

Singing: God-level (Junior Musician Title)

Hardcore Fans: 100 (Elite Unlocked)

Eye-Catching Points: 4000

Currently, only some junior martial arts techniques are unlocked in the system mall; the rest are various concoctions, and the prices are quite high, all around three digits. Lin Yu has no plans to exchange for them for the time being.

It’s a good thing his physical stats are maxed out, otherwise, flying all over the country like this would be hard to bear.

“Teacher Lin Yu, are you awake?”

“We start recording at eight o’clock this morning.”

Staff from the 'Running Man' production team were already calling for him outside the door.

“Yeah! I know.”

Lin Yu looked at his phone. You have to say, the staff of the 'Running Man' production team are truly “dedicated”; it’s only five in the morning and they’re already calling him up.

By comparison, it was better at Mushroom House, where he could sleep until whenever he wanted. Especially after he secured the 9,000 corn cobs task for Mushroom House, even Huang Lei and He Ling would serve Lin Yu as he got up, with Little Sister Sister Zifeng massaging his shoulders and Peng Peng and Zhang Yixing pounding his legs.

It really was a unique feeling in his heart!

“Knock, knock, knock.”

“Knock, knock, knock.”

There was another round of knocking and urging outside the door.

“Big brother, stop knocking, I’m already awake.”

“Were we roosters in our past lives? Why are you so obsessed with wake-up calls?”

Lin Yu stretched, yawned, and mocked.

“Bang!”

Before he could finish his sentence, two dark shadows suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in, grabbed the pillows on the sofa, and pressed them onto Lin Yu’s nose and mouth.

“You dare say we were roosters in our past lives?”

“Give me the airplane!”

“Hahahaha.”

“And you dare defect to Fruit TV? Brothers, get him!”

As Li Chen and Zheng Kai spoke, Zhou Shen and Sha Yi also rushed in with smiles on their faces.

Two grabbed his arms, two grabbed his legs, and they hoisted Lin Yu into the air and shoved him toward the corner of the wall.

“I was wrong.”

“You guys... don’t come over here.”

“Ah! My Kun-Kun!”

Seeing it was the 'Running Man' brothers, Lin Yu grinned, and amidst the playful fighting, he hurriedly admitted defeat.

This is team spirit; only when you truly treat someone as a brother can you joke around like this. Being overly polite often means they are secretly hoping for your misfortune.

After the brothers had some coffee and milk, they all boarded the bus to the task location.

This was also the experience of the 'Running Man' team; many times, the damn Director Yao would arrange the eating segment for the first part, so they didn't dare to eat or drink their fill.

“You kid are something! You can still go out and take private jobs in just two days?”

Sha Yi laughed and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder.

“Brother Sha, you have to work hard and do more when you’re young.”

“It’s useless to tell you too much now!”

“You’ll understand when you reach my age.”

Lin Yu sighed, looking like he had seen through life.

“.......”

Sha Yi rolled his eyes. At your age, I was already Little Hu in the mess hall.

“Hahahaha, here we go again.”

“It’s over! Looking at this state, I’m afraid we’ll all be on the trending list again today.”

Li Chen and Zheng Kai were also amused to the point of laughter.

“Cheng Cheng and Song Yuqi have other commitments today and didn't come.”

“Sister Baby, you haven’t met him yet, right?”

Zhou Shen patted Lin Yu from the back seat of the bus and said.

“Oh! Baby is coming today.”

Lin Yu’s mind stirred. This is really great! He’s slowly collecting all the character cards.

Before long, everyone arrived at today’s task site.

This was also Lin Yu’s first meeting with Yang Ying in this life.

“Hello Baby, I’m Lin Yu.”

Lin Yu said, politely extending his hand and bowing slightly like a gentleman.

Smelling the vanilla scent permeating the air, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit intoxicated.

Is this really a woman who has given birth to a child?

Exquisite and beautiful cheeks, European-style eyebrow contours, large eyes like an elf, long hair draped over her shoulders, fresh and cute but with a touch of intellectual beauty, a slender waist—even though she was wearing long pants, she exuded an elegant temperament........

“Hello, I’ve heard so much about you! Big celebrity Lin Yu, let me bask in your glory too.”

After saying that, Yang Ying smiled like a flower, as if she had found a treasure, and touched Lin Yu’s arm and shoulder.

“Hehe!”

“What are you laughing at!?”

Lin Yu was still immersed in Yang Ying’s head-patting attack when his butt was suddenly kicked.

“Bai Lu! Do you want to die!?”

Director Yao originally wanted to remind Lin Yu to stay away from Fruit TV, but seeing this harmonious scene, he was afraid of hurting innocent people and hid far away.

“Hahaha, Brother Sha, are they always like this?”

Yang Ying covered her mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

This is too interesting!

Lin Yu and Bai Lu are truly a pair of little enemies; they must have had a grudge in their past lives.

“Alright, everyone.”

“Everyone go change your clothes.”

“Let’s prepare; in half an hour, the second episode of 'Running Man' will be live-streamed.”

“Let’s go!”

Director Yao adjusted his glasses and clapped his hands, signaling everyone to get moving quickly.

At this moment, the 'Running Man' live stream room already had 4 million people waiting before it even started.

“Brothers! It’s coming, it’s coming.”

“I heard Big Baby is back on 'Running Man' this time.”

“Is it Sister Baby? I skip whenever I see her; I really don’t like 0.5, she’s not even as good-looking as me.”

“She doesn't need you as a fan. If you don’t have a mirror at home, you at least have urine!”

“Hahaha, the guy above, say more if you can.”

“I’m here to see Lin Yu, anyone else?”

“Buddy, you should ask who isn't here to see Lin Yu?”

“One minute left, sunflower seeds, peanuts, and drinks are ready. I even prepared an oxygen concentrator specifically for Lin Yu; last time he laughed so hard I almost lost my breath.”

“.......”

With a crisp BGM, the second episode of the 'Running Man' live stream officially began.

“Welcome everyone to Yanbian, Linji.”

“Let’s get up close and experience the rich and diverse food and folk customs of Yanbian, Linji!”

“........”
