Chapter 215: 156, Nine-Tailed Fox Demon

With the promotions from his first two pinch-hitting performances, Lin Zichen’s pinch-hitting business was booming.

In the following period,

he received more than ten requests a day for his pinch-hitting services.

At first, he needed to take matters into his own hands and actually beat people up.

Latter on, the bullies would kneel on the spot, scared out of their wits at the mere sight of him pinch-hitting.

They hurried to apologize to their victims, admitting that it was their fault all along.

They assured Lin Zichen that they would never dare to do it again.

And so, for nearly half a month straight,

Lin Zichen’s reputation skyrocketed.

Many people began to call him the light of righteousness at school, commending him for rectifying the school’s bad elements and restoring a harmonious atmosphere.

There were also a few who badmouthed him, saying he was just a businessman after school credits and that he didn’t deserve the accolade “light of righteousness.”

Regardless of whether the feedback was positive or negative,

Lin Zichen didn’t care in the slightest.

All he cared about were the credits he was making.

...

That day at noon, Li Chuxin came over for a free meal.

After eating, she sat in the living room tallying up business information and reporting the data to Lin Zichen.

In the past half a month,

Lin Zichen had taken on 233 pinch-hitting gigs.

The bullies in these cases ranged from Ordinary Seventh Order at their strongest to Ordinary Third Order at their weakest, with the average being Ordinary Fourth Order.

Overall, none of them were particularly strong.

Furthermore, it was worth noting that a significant portion of these bullies had one thing in common:

they all had a patron in the student council.

“It’s exactly the people with mediocre power who love to flex their slight connections to bully others, vividly embodying the saying ‘bully the weak and fear the strong,’ which is disgustingly on point,”

After taking another look, she realized the pig-head was Luo Yongjian.

She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “A-Jian, why do you look so beat up?”

Luo Yongjian: “I fell while walking.”

Ma Xiwei at the next desk had no intention of sparing his feelings, bluntly exposing him: “This idiot tried to imitate your fiancé and became a pinch-hitter, but ended up getting beaten by people from the student council.”

Poor thing...

Shen Qinghan wanted to laugh but dared not, for fear of hurting Luo Yongjian’s frail pride.

Pinch-hitting was not something just anyone could do.

You needed real strength for it.

Only my Xiao Chen had the capital to pull it off.

Seeing that Ma Xiwei had spilled the beans, Luo Yongjian dropped the act and started cursing:

“Damn it, this goddamn student council, always beating me up instead of Lin Zichen!”

“Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, what are they good for?”

“Once I’ve grown stronger, none of them will get away; I’ll settle the score with all of them in the fall!”

“Ouch, that hurts so much!”

Luo Yongjian got too worked up speaking and accidentally pulled at a wound on his lip, causing him nearly to cry from the pain.

Ma Xiwei was venomous with her words, ruthlessly pointing out:

“You talk as if you’re the only one who can grow. You can get stronger, but so can the people in the student council. Most importantly, your talent isn’t much better than theirs, so you probably won’t be able to settle any scores in the fall for the rest of your life. Better to give up on that hope.”

“You...!”

Luo Yongjian wanted to retort but realized he had no argument.

Because Ma Xiwei was right.

His talent wasn’t that much better than the other geniuses, so even if he did grow stronger, he probably wouldn’t have the strength to settle scores with the student council.

So how could he get back at the student council?

He couldn’t just take this lying down...

Luo Yongjian was lost in thought.

After a few seconds, his eyes suddenly lit up, turning to Ma Xiwei and saying:

“Well, that’s easy. I may not be able to get back at the student council, but Lin Zichen can. If it comes to that, I’ll just hire Lin Zichen as my pinch-hitter to beat those in the student council.”
