Chapter 377 It“s Time for Me to Take Action

Ye Lingchen felt like he was in a dream when he looked at his soaring popularity.The number flashed wildly at an unimaginable speed and all he saw was the rapid surge of data representing his popularity value.

700,000!

800,000!

900,000!

1,000,000!

However, it did not stop there!

It was not until it reached 1136789 that things began slowing down.

At that moment, Ye Lingchen realized the importance of sport to the Chinese, and how wise it was for him to participate in a basketball game!

It was quite logical when he pondered further about it. In addition to making waves within the country, many people from abroad were also shocked, especially those from the Stick Nation. Those people would also bring him popularity.

One single international friendly match was enough to increase his popularity by a full 500,000!

Would he not break past 10 million if he went for more games?

Ye Lingchen suddenly sensed that an upgrade to advanced knowledge was not too far away.

It was the second time he exceeded one million in his popularity value, meaning it was time for him to have his intermediate knowledge upgraded for the second time.

Ye Lingchen looked forward to it and placed all of his attention onto the system interface. He did a count of his current skills.

There was only one intermediate skill—Eight Extremities Brute Training (Intermediate)! It allowed him to block bullets with his body, a testament to how amazing it is.

Basic skills, however, were much more.

Dragon-Catcher Hand (Basic), Bird Language (Basic), Diatribe (Basic), Parkour (Basic), Arhat Fist Force (Basic), Animal Taming (Basic), Heavenly Sound (Basic), Transfiguration (Basic), Aura Divination (Basic).

Before he knew it, he already had eight basic skills.

He looked down and saw various skills that he was 100% proficient in.

Calligraphy, Massage, Western Medicine, Cooking, Farming, Swimming, Deutsch, Feng Shui, Russian…

Bits and pieces added up numbered more than 40, most of which were languages ​​of various countries. There were many other remaining skills, but his proficiency was not full.

The next step was to upgrade his intermediate skills.

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath, focused his attention, then clicked to start!

The golden glow glossed over every basic skill at lightning speed. His breathing became heavy too and was extremely nervous.

There was a total of eight basic skills, and the glow darted back and forth about ten times before finally coming to a sudden stop!

Parkour!

Ye Lingchen was briefly taken aback before a smile appeared in the corners of his lips.

Parkour was the first skill he could upgrade to intermediate and it was one that benefited Ye Lingchen greatly, as it had the widest uses. He never expected it to become the second of his intermediate knowledge. It could even be considered fate!

With an eye-piercing golden glow, one of the basic skills finally became intermediate!

Parkour (Intermediate): Strong leg techniques are fully capable of supporting your runs, running at 90 degrees, and walking on the waves is not the stuff of dreams!

Amazing!

After looking at the skill’s explanation, Ye Lingchen’s heart inadvertently skipped a beat. Although the introduction was brief, it undoubtedly left a strong impression.

He could practically be said to have reached the peak of running ability! If he continued to upgrade to advanced, would he not be able to fly?

With a satisfied smile, Ye Lingchen continued to look at the system interface. Since there were still 100,000 left in his popularity value, he might as well use it up all at once.

He rubbed his hands and had an eager look on his face.

He clicked and got things started!

The familiar glow was flickering wildly and the skills in which he was 100% proficient in were much more than his basic skills. Ye Lingchen was dazzled, and at the next moment, the glow stopped!

Cooking?

While Ye Lingchen’s was still in his stunned state, a flash of golden light turned it into Gastronomy (Basic).

Gastronomy (Basic): You, who have broken through the limits of Cooking, are now able to make delightful food.

The skill seemed to be an awesome one too.

Sure enough, the skills produced by the system were high-quality products. Many ordinary skills would undergo a qualitative leap after an upgrade.

Looking at the remaining 30,000 popularity points, Ye Lingchen’s eyes lit up slightly. His popularity value soared rather quickly in recent times because of his constant appearance on the news. It seemed as though he would have to focus more on that aspect in the future.

As long as he did things perfectly, his popularity value could surely skyrocket!

On that day, Ye Lingchen got on a car and headed toward the southern suburbs of Capital.

The southern suburbs were regarded as Capital’s development zone. They were still considered rural and relatively underdeveloped, but during those past five years, government policies began inclining toward that area, which was developed significantly vigorously. It had quickly changed from a rural area to a place of skyscrapers, causing many of the households to be demolished and then relocated.

He still remembered how troublesome the incident was. Countless people watched in tears as their old houses were demolished, but of course…those tears were that of joy and happiness.

An apartment in the development zone was the filming location for Xiao Feifei’s iPartment. The red-and-white walls made the entire apartment very warm and the apartment itself was near a park. The scenery was beautiful, with green trees shading off the rippling water.

Along the way, the car was driven slowly. The driver was silent and focused on driving, while Ye Lingchen closed his eyes slightly and listened to the music on the radio.

At that moment, the radio channel paused slightly, and there was a brief static sound. The next moment, a rapid voice came bursting from the radio.

“Next, we will broadcast an urgent piece of news!

“Moments ago, in Capital City Development Zone, a bus overturned on Longyou Lake’s bridge and the entire vehicle fell into the water. A total of forty-two people on the said vehicle have fallen into the water. Calling any swimmers who are near Longyou Lake! Please come and save the people!”

The piece of news was broadcasted in a loop, clearly signaling its extreme urgency.

Longyou Lake, an artificial lake built by Capital City Development Zone at the beginning of its inception, consumes an unimaginable amount of manpower and material resources. It could be considered the largest artificial lake in the country. If one stood at the edge of the lake, the opposite side of the lake would only be faintly visible!

It is difficult to swim back if one fell from the bridge unless the water was calm. Drowning was a definite possibility!

The only good thing to come out from that news was that most of the doors and windows were open before the bus fell into the water. That way, the passengers could swim out of the car. Otherwise, not even the gods could save them if they were trapped in the bus and sank with it!

The news shocked Ye Lingchen slightly, as Longyou Lake was in the development zone and was not that far from where he was!

It was not just a rescue mission, because it also represented a great amount of popularity. He touched the mask in his clothes. Superman Y had been silent for a long time and it was time for him to debut!

“Looks like it’s time for me to take action!”

Before Ye Lingchen could even speak, the driver who had been silent throughout the journey suddenly uttered out loud! At that moment, his disposition changed abruptly and he became inscrutable.

“My little friend, I’m sorry. I’m going to Longyou Lake to rescue them first, so I’ll have to delay your trip!”

At the end of his sentence, he turned his steering wheel abruptly and the taxi turned around. He then floored the accelerator all of a sudden!

Screech!

Along with that harsh rubbing sound, the taxi left as fast as possible…
