“Xinyi, move aside.” Lin Ye waved his hand while instructing Xinyi.

Then, he raised his hand in the air and helped Zhang Chao up from afar.

At the same time, he pulled a 2B pencil and a piece of paper to his fingers using Universal Pull.

“Good lad, Dragon Capturing Technique?”

“Oh, but I don’t think it’s powerful. We might be able to suppress him in the rankings this time.”

“That’s right. No matter how good his equipment is, it’s useless. This challenge tower only recognizes one’s combat power and talent. He’s just lucky. If we were to compare strengths, natural warriors like us would definitely be better than him.”

“Let’s go. We’ll go and record our avatars in the tower. In a while, we’ll show off in front of God Lin and record a video. Perhaps we can soar into the sky and directly attain the title of the God of Popularity.”

…

At this point, the eyes of many in the crowd were as bright as incandescent lamps.

Taking advantage of the fact that Lin Ye was stopped by the little fatty, they quietly rushed up the challenge tower one by one and quickly recorded their avatars.

Not long after, cries of surprise sounded from afar.

Lin Ye merely glanced at them and was not worried.

However, this little fatty looked at him meaningfully.

If he remembered correctly, one needed to unlock the Level 2 or 3 Reputation Shop before one could buy a paper and pen from it.

At such a young age, this person could gain reputation before the Popularity Leaderboard opened.

It was either this little guy had discovered the secret to gaining reputation or he had perhaps discovered a ruin.

Regardless, it was enough to show how extraordinary little fatty was.

He activated his Heart’s Web talent.

The little fatty’s emotions were stable in his gaze. He did not have any ill intentions.

The way he looked at him was a little…

Something was not right!

F*ck, it couldn’t be that…

He mumbled and couldn’t help but think of the more commonly seen sticker in the chat group.

He couldn’t help but shiver.

“God Lin, I’m not a pervert!”

Suddenly, little fatty’s face flushed red. He said anxiously, “I’m a normal man. I… I just admire you!”

“???” Lin Ye acted as if nothing had happened, but he was shocked in his heart.

Peeping at his soul? Or seeing through his thoughts?

“Come here!”

Lin Ye waved his hand.

Opposite him, Zhang Chao’s face turned bitter. He realized that he had exposed his talent and immediately revealed a look of terror.

“Don’t be afraid. I won’t kill you. Life and death fights are not permitted here.”

Lin Ye smiled elegantly and casually. “Was that your talent just now?”

“Yes.”

Zhang Chao nodded carefully and explained, “My talent is called Listening Ear. Within my ability, I can hear anything related to me.”

“Listen…”

Lin Ye muttered as his eyes lit up.

He secretly activated his Heart of Invincibility and placed a protective barrier around his soul. “Try again and see if you can hear my thoughts.”

“Oh, okay.” Zhang Chao nodded.

However, soon, a strange expression appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, “This is weird. I can’t hear it anymore now.”

“Can’t hear it anymore?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows, and he understood what was happening at the same time.

This guy’s talent was similar to his Hint talent. If it was covered by a higher-level energy, it could block information.

However, overall speaking, it was still a very powerful ability. Perhaps Little Fatty’s level was too low. Once he himself got his hands on this talent, he could upgrade it to Level 22 when he returned to his territory.

No one would be able to keep their secrets from him.

When he thought of that, an idea arose in his heart. He lowered his head and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Zhang Chao, Zhang Wuji’s Zhang and Chao Ren’s Chao!” Zhang Chao hurriedly said.

“Very good, I will remember you.” Lin Ye nodded with a smile. He picked up a pencil, wrote his name on the white paper, and handed it to Zhang Chao.

“Thank you, thank you, idol!”

Zhang Chao took the pen and paper and looked at the words on it. He raised his head excitedly.

He said happily, “Idol, can I join your Lin Clan? I want to be as great as you!”

“Of course you can.” Lin Ye smiled like an old father and patted Zhang Chao on the forehead. “I like fans that are hardworking, smart and motivated.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“However, I am currently uncertain where your actual body is. I am unable to directly welcome you into my territory.”

Hearing the first sentence, Zhang Chao revealed a look of joy. But soon, his mood was like a roller coaster as he asked worriedly, “Ah, what should we do then!”

“We might meet again if fate allows it.” Lin Ye sighed. He couldn’t possibly take the initiative to take out the sharing contract for something like this.

He gave Zhang Liang a look out of the corner of his eye, afraid that he would not understand.

He even used Mind Possession skill to remind Zhang Liang.

The latter immediately understood and said, “My lord, didn’t you drop a sharing contract when you destroyed the Haunted House last time? As long as he signs the sharing contract, he will be a part of the Lin family and will be loyal to the lord. I think Brother Zhang Chao is not a bad person, so why not let him use it.”

“A sharing contract? I can become a loyalist of my idol?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chao’s eyes lit up.

He pointed at himself excitedly and said, “Idol, can I sign it? Don’t worry, I’m super awesome!”

After speaking, afraid that Lin Ye would not believe him, he lowered his voice, leaving behind a whisper only the two of them could hear.

He continued, “My talent is a top-class one and it’s only a step away from becoming a demigod-class talent. Furthermore, I found a basic ruin. There are various martial arts secret manuals inside and I have mastered martial arts like the Dragon Subduing Palms and Water Wave Step! I guarantee that I won’t embarrass my idol!”

“F*ck, a peak top-class talent!!!”

Lin Ye’s mouth twitched. This talent was on par with Zhang Liang.

To be able to obtain a ruin at the early stages, tsk tsk, looks like this fatty was a genius with good luck.

“Idol, I beg you. Please, you have to sign me on!” Zhang Chao looked at Lin Ye nervously.

A while back, after seeing Lin Ye’s video.

He was really moved by the domineering aura of Lin Ye who spent money like dirt.

From then on, he became a loyal fan of Lin Ye.

Every day, he was the one who flamed the anti-fans the most in the comments section.

Of course, there was another important thing.

He was an orphan and felt extremely lonely. However, the harmony and joy of the Lin Clan’s territory gave him strength.

It made him long for the day when he would be able to integrate into a large family like the Lin Clan. Everyone was like a dragon in the Lin Clan and the members were intimate beyond comparison.

And now, an opportunity to be part of the Lin Clan was right in front of him. How could he not grasp it?

“You have to think carefully. If you sign the sharing contract, your talent will be slightly damaged and your loyalty will be sacrificed,” Lin Ye reminded him.

“I don’t care. Joining the Lin Clan is my lifelong wish!” Zhang Chao hurriedly said.

At this point in time, there was no need for him to be talented. He wanted to become a loyalist of his idol first!

“Then, alright.” Lin Ye nodded with a troubled expression. He took out a peak Class 4 sharing contract from his space ring.

The higher the level, the lower the damage to one’s talent.

This way, it would be much faster for Zhang Chao to use enlightenment energy to recover.

Swoosh—

In a few seconds, both of them wrote their names on the contract.

Whoosh—

In the blink of an eye, the contract was completed and turned into two streams of light that integrated into the space between Lin Ye and Zhang Chao’s eyebrows.

At the same time, the system sent a congratulatory message.
