Chapter 48
Reba's Bewilderment, Fanbase Explodes!

“Heard he’s famous, is this little brother Zhang Lin really that amazing?”

“Whoa! So he’s really in an ancient tomb, is this not a movie?”

“Duh, obviously it’s not a movie.”

“Did Reba really time travel?”

“Village connected to the internet?”

“Let me explain, this little brother’s thing has already blown up on the trending searches, Weibo’s servers crashed because of it, the top ten on Douyin are seven of this little brother, the other three are Reba.”

As more and more viewers entered Dilraba Dilmurat’s livestream, more and more such bullet comments appeared.

Dilraba Dilmurat looked at the bullet comments, a little bewildered.

She was trending again?

Zhang Lin had seven or eight trending searches?

And Weibo even crashed because of Zhang Lin?

Just how much of a commotion was this causing online!

Dilraba Dilmurat knew all too well the value of trending searches.

It was something countless stars would break their heads to get onto.

Forget about number one, even the top ten, even number fifty, was something countless stars wanted to achieve.

Dilraba Dilmurat had been on the trending searches many times before, but she had only been number one once.

That time she was number one, it was because her agency spent a lot of manpower and resources, hiring countless water army, constantly stirring up the fire, only then did she make it to the top.

That time, the trending search brought her unimaginable traffic.

Yet now, seven of the top ten trending searches were Zhang Lin, and three were her!

Dilraba Dilmurat also knew that these three were only because she had hitched a ride on Zhang Lin’s coattails.

Dilraba Dilmurat looked at Zhang Lin’s back, secretly marvelling.

The trending searches that others dreamed of, Zhang Lin had directly taken over so many!

She didn’t know yet that Zhang Lin’s all-network trending search index had reached 45 million, if she did, she would probably be even more surprised!

In the entertainment industry, countless stars would want to stick to him, to蹭热度 (borrow his heat)!

“Hm?”

Dilraba Dilmurat suddenly furrowed her brow, glancing at the livestream.

She saw that the livestream suddenly displayed the number of online viewers!

On that illusory screen, the number of online viewers was displayed in real time.

Dilraba Dilmurat counted the digits.

Nine digits!

120 million!

And that number was still surging, just a dozen seconds later, it had reached 130 million!

This number was terrifying!

At least Dilraba Dilmurat had never heard of anyone’s livestream having nine-digit online viewers before!

Even reaching eight digits was very rare!

Such a huge volume of traffic, thankfully her phone had mutated, otherwise, what livestream could withstand such terrifying traffic?

The servers would have crashed ten thousand times over.

Dilraba Dilmurat knew that these fans were basically all here to see Zhang Lin.

You could tell from the bullet comments in the livestream.

Almost everyone was asking about Zhang Lin.

Many were still unwilling to believe that there was such a powerful person in the world, they needed to see Zhang Lin make a move with their own eyes.

Meanwhile.

As Zhang Lin exploded in popularity online, his trending search index continued to climb.

It soon broke through 50 million!

This was unprecedented on the internet.

And this matter also attracted the attention of many relevant departments.

In the National Bio-Research Institute’s director’s research room.

Lin Zhiyu, as the country’s top biological professor, had been the director of the Bio-Research Institute for over a decade, receiving all sorts of domestic and international awards, and had immense prestige and honor in the international biological field.

Now over seventy years old, he had no ambitions left, his greatest wish was to research all sorts of bizarre creatures, and his computer was already full of such biological research topics.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of his computer, researching a certain topic.

However, at this time, an urgent knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.”

Lin Zhiyu said without looking up.

The research room door opened, a young man in his thirties holding a tablet rushed in, excitedly saying: “Teacher, Teacher! Come see this video!”

This young man was Lin Zhiyu’s most outstanding student, Jiang Haitao, although only thirty years old, he was already one of the country’s top biological professors.

“What is it?”

Lin Zhiyu’s tone was gentle, without the airs of other directors, making him appear approachable.

Jiang Haitao started to play the video: “Teacher, you’ll see!”

Lin Zhiyu put down his work and began to watch the video in Jiang Haitao’s hands.

Gradually, his expression became one of surprise!

“These are…corpse worms? How come they’re all so big?”

Lin Zhiyu exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Haitao said: “Teacher, there are even bigger ones later!”

Lin Zhiyu was curious, even bigger? How big could they be?

He continued to watch, and soon a corpse worm the size of a water buffalo appeared in the video.

Lin Zhiyu stood up abruptly, looking at the scene in shock: “This… how is it possible to have a corpse worm this big! My god!”

Jiang Haitao said: “I thought the same thing when I saw it, it’s amazing.”

Lin Zhiyu stared at the video: “Where did they find this?”

Jiang Haitao replied: “Teacher, what I want to show you is not these corpse worms, but this person!”

He pointed at Zhang Lin.

Lin Zhiyu furrowed his brow: “This young man has sword-like brows and star-like eyes, with an extraordinary aura, he must be an extraordinary person, but what’s so interesting about him? We study strange creatures, not people.”

Jiang Haitao smiled: “Teacher, keep watching!”

Lin Zhiyu had no choice but to watch patiently.

These videos were all edited, only the important parts were cut out.

So the video wasn’t very long.

When Lin Zhiyu saw Zhang Lin kill the huge corpse worms, and all the corpse worms were scared away, he was somewhat moved.

But he still didn’t have high expectations.

After all, in his opinion, Zhang Lin was just a young man with good skills.

Not worth his attention.

But when the black-scaled fire snakes appeared, and they all fled in panic, Lin Zhiyu’s expression finally turned solemn.

He began to pay attention to the video.

Finally, when the white fog appeared, Lin Zhiyu saw the white fog dissipate, not daring to approach Zhang Lin, his expression became completely animated!

Finally, he uttered a few words: “Who is this young man?”
