Chapter 255: Chapter 255 - 239: Advancing Together to 50 Million 1

If it were a couplet from Blue Star, Lin Yuan would definitely ask Xian Yu and Chu Kuang to pretend they didn’t see it.

Although he’d hit the officials in the face, Lin Yuan had taken advantage of the Earth’s predecessors, he knew he had to be sensible.

But…

If you were to return the Earth’s couplet, I would be energized.

Showing off petty skills in front of an expert?

Great Tianlong!

Just kidding, Lin Yuan felt that this was a chance to make up for the mistakes.

This time, he definitely could not let Xian Yu get it right.

Let Chu Kuang have a go.

Lin Yuan didn’t rush to operate, but first looked at the reaction of the netizens.

Not surprisingly, many people’s first reaction to this couplet was…

Simple!

Compared to the ever-changing couplet that everyone had just discussed, at first glance, this couplet was really too simple!

“It’s too simple.”

“I can come up with the answer, ‘Pointing out the world and defining the country’ how about this?”

“It sounds ordinary, but it has some meaning.”

“Mainly, it’s really not difficult, any expert could come up with a response.”

“Could there be a hidden mystery?”

“Most likely, otherwise it wouldn’t be the final round.”

The netizens were discussing.

Before Chu Kuang could reply, Feng Changsheng posted a status update:

“The couplet I responded to was ‘Stepping stone leaves its mark,’ I thought it was a problem with the game’s smart algorithm, but I asked a professor friend in the game’s development team, and he said there was a problem with my response.”

The netizens were stunned.

‘Viewing plum blossoms alone, sweeping hoarfrost, leaving only the hollow footprints.’

It seems to have no problem.

‘Alone’ corresponds to ‘Only’, ‘View’ corresponds to ‘See’, ‘Plum Blossoms’ corresponds to ‘Slipper Prints’, ‘Hoarfrost’ corresponds to ‘Step’…

Could it be because it is not beautiful enough in its response?

They developed the same doubts as Feng Changsheng.

Some netizens tagged the official account, and played a joke from the movie “Flirting Scholar”:

Is it dead? Come over and check if there’s a mistake in this couplet.”

The officials saw the momentum and got more excited, immediately tagging Feng Changsheng with four words, “Huge mistake!”

They were just bleeding internally before, now they’ve recovered.

Lin Yuan laughed.

He felt it was time to let Chu Kuang make his move.

To avoid any mix-ups, Lin Yuan only released his next line after carefully confirming the account name:

Detailed inspection of the mountainous scenery, dancing around the streams.”

This next line, like the first line, is excessively simple.

The netizens didn’t quite understand because the first and the next lines were both excessively simple…

Because it was overly simple, people felt, maybe things were not as simple as they seem.

As for the fans of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang, they were enthusiastic as usual:

Chu Kuang is on this time.”

“Chu Kuang: Can’t let Xian Yu hog all the glory.”

“Chu Kuang: Little Fish, step back, let me handle this.”

“Just deciphering isn’t enough, Xian Yu just got a tough one, Chu Kuang may be in a hurry to prove himself worthy of Little Fish.”

“I suspect Chu Kuang will fail.”

As expected.

As soon as Chu Kuang’s couplet appeared, the official account of the “King of Couplet” became excited and posted an animated picture along with the caption:

“Better let Xian Yu do it.”

The animated picture was a screenshot from a cartoon, a bald hunter caught a big dumb bear in a trap, facing the big dumb bear raging in the trap, the hunter smirked…

Insinuating that Chu Kuang is a big dumb bear?

Chu Kuang’s fans were not happy!

“What’s the problem?”

“It’s perfectly alright.”

“Isn’t this a good couplet?”

“And the wording is pretty too.”

“Exactly.”

“The officials had just been slapped in the face, and they’re jumping around again.”

The officials definitely wouldn’t dare to face public wrath, Chu Kuang’s fans weren’t few, they quickly explained:

re

Our first line is ‘Viewing plum blossoms alone, sweeping away the hoarfrost’, the homophones for these characters are do——————————————– re— mi—- fa— so la-

si, the first seven sounds in the musical scale!”

What the hell!

These officials are damn cunning!

All of Chu Kuang’s fans were taken aback.

Isn’t that right?

Isn’t ‘Viewing plum blossoms alone, sweeping away the hoarfrost’ the homonym of the first seven musical notes?

No wonder it looks so simple, there’s a hidden threat lurking!

I understand.”

Feng Changsheng joined in on the interaction, after all, he was the one who brought up this issue:” I couldn’t decode the mystery of the first line, but I couldn’t come up with anything right now, I’ll let Teacher Admirable Fish try.

Obviously.

The meaning of Feng Changsheng’s words is that Chu Kuang indeed fell into the official’s couplet trap.

It seems that they can only look at Xian Yu now.

But Xian Yu obviously had an advantage, since the officials had given the answer, Xian Yu just needed to match that answer, the difficulty undoubtedly got significantly reduced.

Under these circumstances, many people believe Xian Yu will get it right.

“Teacher Admirable Fish, time to make a move!”

“Avenge Chu Kuang!”

“Look, the officials are bullying your Chu Kuang!”

“Can you put up with this?”

“Xian Yu quickly fire back!

These netizens really know how to play.

But Chu Kuang’s fans really hope that Xian Yu can help Chu Kuang save face, after all, Chu Kuang had just spoken up for Xian Yu.

Unfortunately…

Chu Kuang’s next line was problematic.

Even if Xian Yu retaliates for Chu Kuang, Chu Kuang has indeed lost some face.

However.

Just when everyone thought that Xian Yu would come up with the next line, Xian Yu unexpectedly tagged the official account, clearly indicating four big words:

“What’s wrong with that?”

Everyone still remembered that when the official account said that Xian Yu’s couplet was not perfect, that was how Chu Kuang retorted.

Instantly, the comment section exploded!

“Hahahaha!”

“What’s wrong with that, really?”

“You can even solve this?”

Don’t impose your interpretation!

Stop, I’m fucking moved a bit, Xian Yu is really going all out for Chu Kuang!”

“An exact same response, Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, totally having each other’s back!”

“Though Xian Yu’s couplet was indeed flawless, but Chu Kuang…”

Chu Kuang’s couplet is flawed?

Of course not.

Because after Xian Yu retorted to the official account, he gave a hint: “Could you guys please read Chu Kuang’s next line a few more times.”

Read several more times?

Many people did that almost instinctively.

Examining the mountains, the dance of the creek… Examining the mountains, the dance of the creek… Where’s the mystery?

Damn!

Suddenly, someone got it.

What do you mean by “examining the mountains, the dance of the creek”?

This fucking seems like “one two three four five six seven”!

People’s minds had just stuck in a rut before, read it more times, and the tune will come out, Feng Changsheng suddenly exclaims:

“Examining the mountains, the dance of the creek, one two three four five six seven! It fucking perfectly matches!”

“Xian Yu is awesome!”

“That makes sense, I surrender!”

“Xian Yu: nobody understands Chu Kuang more than I do!”

“You two should just marry on the spot!”

“Is this why legends can become friends?”

“I am not acquainted with Xian Yu and Chu Kuang because I’m not worthy…”

“What kind of divine interaction is this!

“I am a fan now!

“I’ve locked down this couple!”

“You lock it, give me the key, I’ll swallow it!

It really matched!

The netizens never expected this!

Despite experiencing countless surprises tonight, when Xian Yu perfectly decoded Chu Kuang’s next line in the same way, the shock of the netizens was indescribable!

These two, interpreting each other, left everyone with faces full of wow!

Alright then.

The official had deleted all the doubt-casting posts, so their latest comment was again a GIF of “Dui Chuanchang is coughing up blood”.

Comical and apt.

As they say, the fandom grows, long and long, with growing laughter…

Xian Yu and Chu Kuang’s Tribe followers increased rapidly, almost breaking the 50 million mark together!

It’s not just ordinary fans.

Many verified users also started following the two.

Because those two couplets were too brilliant! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“These two are equal in skills!”

1 thought Xian Yu’s couplet level would have Chu Kuang’s beat, but now I’m not sure.”

Chu Kuang being able to solve the riddle of the official couplet so quickly, that’s enough to prove Chu Kuang’s understanding of the couplet!”

If it weren’t for the same brilliant talent, how could they become such in-sync buddies.”

No wonder they don’t follow anyone else, only each other.

“Wait, didn’t you forget about Shadow?”

“Alright, they also follow Shadow. But if you hadn’t reminded me, I wouldn’t have thought of it normally.”

Netizens were very emotional, it’s just about a couplet, yet it stirred many emotions, the main reason being the divine interaction between Chu Kuang and Xian Yu.

“Phew…”

Lin Yuan exhaled again.

The faux pas was completely salvaged.

The reason for using Xian Yu’s account to interpret Chu Kuang’s next line was just for some thematic interaction.

Lin Yuan thought that in this way, it would highlight Chu Kuang’s prowess even more.

But doing so, Lin Yuan cannot afford a mistake now…

Absolutely, cannot afford a mistake!

Otherwise, even if Chun Yuan’s mentality is as stable, he would also face social death.

He didn’t handle the couplet affairs any more.

Lin Yuan shut down the computer and went home.

What Lin Yuan didn’t know was…

Luo Wei, who had already returned home, was also hanging on to the Tribe account of Shadow, and she also watched the entire process of the interaction between Xian Yu and Chu Kuang.

“…Teacher Shadow, don’t cry.”

Luo Wei couldn’t help but comfort the account she was logged into, and of course, the image of Lin Yuan appeared in her mind.

He must be very sad.

Chu Kuang and Xian Yu, they are too in tune, too in sync.

If this is a car, Shadow should not be inside the car, but under the car…

If this is a movie for three people, it’s a movie for three people indeed, but Shadow probably has no name…

Nevermind!

She must promote the anime version of “King of the Net” next time, if this manga is adapted into an anime, it will definitely cause a sensation!

Then, Chu Kuang’s attention won’t just be on Xian Yu, he would also pay attention to Shadow!

Luo Wei was very determined.

Because she had long decided to help Shadow win the heart of Chu Kuang!

But…

Luo Wei also had to admit, Xian Yu was really impressive, Shadow’s achievements so far were nothing in comparison.

And…

What was really regrettable is-

The manga adaptation of “King of the Net”, which had made the name Shadow famous, is almost finished.

After this manga ends.

Where is Shadow supposed to go?
