They don't actually think I like them, do they?

This wave, this wave is a losing streak followed by a harvest of losses. We've waited so long just to make a big move.

Lin Han also found the last one hard to understand. Wasn't this supposed to be a concert event? Why was it necessary to pursue Yan Yuli?

At the concert, with tens of thousands of eyes watching... Under these circumstances, would Lin Han really not get beaten up if he did something to make Yan Yuli's heart flutter?

055. The Battle Song of the College Entrance Examination

However, Lin Han was still quite looking forward to the reward for this mission.

Previously, Lin Han had acquired two active skills: [Forced Calm] and [Fatigue Elimination]. Both skills significantly improved the quality of Lin Han's daily life.

Although the [Fatigue Elimination] skill is not used very often at present, Lin Han believes that this skill will play a significant role in the future.

Both of these active skills are "A-grade", while the reward for this bonus mission is an "S-grade" active skill card.

If A-level skills are this useful, Lin Han is very curious about what S-level skills would be like.

Lin Han has plenty of time to prepare for this reward mission, so he's not in a hurry.

However, to Lin Han's surprise, the buzz generated by "The Lone Warrior" did not end there!

The next day, Lin Han arrived at school and, as soon as he stepped onto the campus, heard a song playing over the school's loudspeaker:

"Go? Go then, with the humblest of dreams! Fight? Stand then, with the loftiest of dreams!"

Opening Lightning Strike!

Hearing his own singing, Lin Han almost thought he was hallucinating!

Playing music before morning reading sessions is not unusual; the school radio station often plays music at specific times during students' breakfast time to help them stay alert.

However, it hasn't been broadcast for a long time since the college entrance examination sprint began.

Especially with the recent increase in academic pressure, the students are listless and the place is deathly silent. The sudden playing of pop music felt somewhat abrupt to Lin Han.

As he walked from the main gate all the way to the senior high school building, he saw a group of students crowding on the second-floor balcony, singing in unison!

"I love you walking alone in the dark alleys, I love your unyielding spirit~"

"I've faced despair with love, but I refuse to shed a single tear!"

The students sang in unison, their eyes resolute, fists clenched, as if performing a solemn ceremony. Banners cheering for the college entrance exam hung on the walls, creating a picturesque scene. The resounding song echoed throughout the teaching building!

Lin Han walked up the stairs in a panic, but every time he went up there, he found people singing along with the loudspeaker!

All the way to the classroom door, several classmates were singing loudly in the corridor.

Even Xu Hui was among them, singing along while clenching his fist, exuding an over-the-top, adolescent vibe!

Lin Han strode forward, grabbed Xu Hui, and pulled him aside.

"Hey, you've finally arrived."

Xu Hui's face was beaming with joy.

"Lin Han, your new song is amazing! It's so cool and exciting!"

"No, what's wrong with you all?" Lin Han asked.

Even if the song is good, does it really warrant the whole school singing it together without prior arrangement? Anyone who didn't know better would think that Orange Jam was running some kind of cult!

"do not you know?"

Xu Hui looked at Lin Han with a puzzled expression.

"This song has now become the battle song for college entrance exam takers across the country!"

Hearing this, Lin Han was stunned.

What's going on this time?

"I don't know why, but although this song is not as catchy as your other songs, I feel a lot of energy when I sing it!" Xu Hui said excitedly.

Then, Xu Hui took Lin Han's hand, "Come on, let's sing together..."

"roll roll roll!"

Lin Han shook off Xu Hui's hand and turned on her phone.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned on his phone, Weibo and Douyin popped up all sorts of messages, all related to the lone warrior.

Don't look at it, look at it!

At this very moment, high schools across the country are filled with senior students singing "The Lone Warrior" in their entire classes!

Countless such short videos are posted online, garnering hundreds of thousands or even millions of likes.

The screen was filled with comments like: "Good luck on the college entrance exam!" "Go, senior high school students!" "Three years of hard work, for your dream university, go for it!"

After surfing for a while, Lin Han finally understood.

The reason for this is that yesterday morning, a short video of the entire senior class singing "The Lone Warrior" went viral online.

Netizens immediately felt that this song was extremely fitting for the college entrance examination!

At this crucial time before the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao), high school seniors across the country are under immense pressure. The song "The Lone Warrior" is incredibly inspiring; listening to it fills you with energy, and the more you sing, the more hooked you become! The more you sing, the more you love it!

In addition, orange jam is extremely popular among students, so more and more classes began to follow suit, creating a new wave on short video platforms!

When the song "I love you, I walk alone in the dark alley" plays, the DNA of all the college entrance exam takers seems to stir!

Overnight, "The Lone Warrior" was quickly dubbed the "Battle Song of the College Entrance Examination" and the "Song of College Entrance Examination Candidates"!

On one hand, it's a meme, and on the other hand, the song genuinely has a great motivating effect. Now, countless high schools across the country are playing this song on their radio stations, prompting countless students to sing along.

Lin Han was dumbfounded.

How could he not know that this song could have such an effect?!

Today, many prank videos have even appeared online: someone grabs a high school senior and asks him a secret code, singing "I love you, walking alone in the dark alley," to which the senior immediately replies, "I love you, facing despair..."

This song "The Lone Warrior" is just too tragic. Why is it being misused in every world?

Lin Han sighed inwardly, and as he returned to his seat from the back of the classroom, he suddenly saw a boy with a plaque on his desk and three cigarettes stuck in front of him.

The signboard actually featured a photo of Lin Han.

The boy's phone was playing the college entrance exam anthem, "The Lone Warrior," then he picked up three cigarettes and bowed repeatedly to Lin Han's photo.

"May the God of Learning grant me the best of luck in my college entrance exam..."

"..."

Lin Han never expected that this would be the closest his two aliases had ever come to each other.

Lin Han doesn't know how many college entrance exam candidates this battle song inspired, but Xu Hui, that simpleton, seems to have become much more motivated.

Perhaps because he has already set his university goals, Xu Hui's study habits have improved significantly in the past two days, and he has become more positive about life.

He had previously asked Lin Han in confusion if he would die if he guided Lin Han once a day.

Now, Xu Hui proudly tells Lin Han, "Haha, I directed three more times today, I can't live anymore!"

The final monthly exam has officially begun.

Many of the top students in the grade had been subtly inquiring about whether Lin Han would participate, until Lin Han solemnly announced that he would be submitting no monthly votes this time. The entire grade's top students were in an uproar.

That test-taking king is finally not taking the test anymore, so everyone can confidently compete for first place in the grade!

Although Lin Han himself wasn't taking the exam, he was still quite nervous about this monthly exam.

Of course, it's because of that rebellious son, Xu Hui.

Lin Han's goal for Xu Hui was simple: the average score for Beijing Jiaotong University was 578, and with just over a week left until the college entrance examination, he needed to score at least 550 in this monthly exam.

Xu Hui said, "No problem!"

056. Arrange four of the best seats! (Bonus Chapter)

Three days later, the exam results came out.

Xu Hui found his name on the grade's academic ranking list.

"Xu Hui, ranked 180th, scored 521 points."

Lin Han touched Xu Hui, who was squatting to the side, sobbing with his head in his hands, and comforted him.

"Although you haven't met the requirements, you've made amazing progress. You only got 450 on the last monthly exam."

"But the cutoff score for Beijing Jiaotong University is 580!"

Xu Hui covered his head and said,

"Besides, the monthly exam is definitely easier than the college entrance exam. You have to see how much effort I put in this month. I've been writing day and night, putting in so much more effort than others. I thought I could definitely get over 550 this time..."

"One more week."

"You think improving your score by 50 points a week is a joke?!"

"Believe in yourself," Lin Han patted Xu Hui on the shoulder.

“It’s the last week. I’ve made you the chicken soup I was supposed to, and I’ve taught you all the methods without reservation. I won’t say much more to comfort you. You can’t expect me to lock you up and force you to learn for the last seven days, can you? If you continue with this negative attitude, then you’ve truly lost,” Lin Han said earnestly.

"..." Xu Hui was speechless.

Yes, ever since he made up his mind to study hard, all his actions have been based on "Lin Han leading him," as if his study plan could only succeed with Lin Han by his side.

Regardless of all the setbacks and failures he experienced along the way, whenever he kept complaining, he was always waiting for Lin Han to scold him awake.

Is Lin Han your father?

These last seven days are the time for me to move forward on my own.

"I understand!"

Xu Hui grabbed Lin Han's arm, spitting out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Just you wait, I'll definitely get into Beijing Jiaotong University!"

"Wait for us to meet up." Lin Han smiled.

After seeing Xu Hui off, Lin Han briefly looked for another of his top students.

"Sixteenth place: Yan Yuli, 571 points"

It seems that Yan Yuli's statement that she only achieved that result last time because she happened to encounter a question she had done before and was lucky was not an act of modesty.

It won't be easy for this guy to get into Beijing Film Academy.

Lin Han walked around the results board with his hands behind his back, stopping and starting.

After being admitted to the top 100 universities through the guaranteed admission program, he liked to criticize other people's grades.

Upon seeing Yan Yuli's name and thinking about the college entrance examination, Lin Han suddenly remembered something.

It's about time to announce the special guest!

Lin Han hurriedly returned home and turned on his computer.

Before announcing the special guest, Lin Han was considering whether to announce the new songs for the concert first.

At this point, a total of 1.5 tickets had been sold for the concert.

Most people bought seats in the middle, which cost between 700 and 800 yuan, making them relatively affordable.

The front row seats were mostly empty, and the price of 1500 yuan made many people hesitate.

Netizens also have something to say!

The price for this concert is considered quite expensive even among top-tier singers!

Although I really wanted to see Ju Zi Jiang, paying twice the price for a front-row seat just to get a better view didn't seem really necessary. The money saved could buy a Fire Kirin sword.

People don't think that the orange jam is unworthy of such an expensive concert ticket.

The main reason is that this is Orange Jam's first concert. We don't know how good Orange Jam's live performance will be, whether she'll interact with the audience, or whether she can provide feedback to the enthusiastic fans in the front rows. Many people spend a lot of money to buy front-row seats because they're hoping for a chance to get up close and personal with their idol.

Given Orange Jam's aloof and unapproachable online persona, where he never replies to private messages, it's highly likely that even if you pay double the price for a front-row seat, he won't even give you a second glance! Just being able to walk onto the stage would be a huge favor!

There's really no need for that.

Lin Han was now facing a headache; front-row seats were hard to sell, which meant he would lose a lot of money.

Just then, Lin Han's phone rang—it was a video call.

He was taken aback; it was the first time he had ever answered a video call.

As soon as he pressed the answer button, four girls appeared on the screen, and a barrage of various sounds immediately followed.
