Lin Yu felt an indescribable feeling as he was driven home by his father.

Due to the ‘fear’ he had for his father, he had always been distant from him subconsciously. He was closer to his mother, and she was the one who picked him up from school since he was a kid. Soon after that, he moved into the hostel as his parents became busy with their business.

Lin Yu could barely remember the times that Lin Jin picked him up from school, which was why he felt an indescribable feeling as he sat in the car.

Soon after that, however, the boredom from the journey flushed this indescribable feeling away. He glanced at the scenery for a while before his gaze eventually landed on the phone that was being held by the phone holder.

The phone’s screen showed the live footage from the Fleye in the backseat and was basically showing their backs and the scenery in front of the car.

The livestream’s title was simple: ‘Picking my son up after school.’

The vlog title was so simple that it did not seem like an SLSH livestream.

Lin Yu expected this to happen but did not talk to his father about it as there was no need for that. To young people, the elderly’s daily vlogs were a specialty of its own.

Truth be told, these vlogs had a market of their own. He was not sure about other platforms but B site had a small group of elder uploaders. They were filmed by young people and the content was not necessarily brilliant but the novelty of the vlogs’ originality was popular. His father was not old, but it was rare to see a middle-aged and mature man on the site.

More importantly, respecting the old and caring for the young were natural values in China. Although online comment sections were brutal at the moment, the values were already ingrained in everyone’s minds. Taking from the elderly uploaders on B site, the comments under their videos were usually compliments or respectful speeches. It was rare to find negative or malicious remarks. An elderly uploader could only provoke public indignation if he lacked morals or got involved in rumors.

He was used to the criticism online and would rather not have his father involved in them. Moreover, his father’s… temper was unpredictable. If he had haters on his livestream, he might end up beating them up in real life.

After seeing the title, Lin Yu’s focus landed on the comments section.

“Is this the Cards Uncle’s son?”

“I’m jealous. Uncle, do you need a godson?”

“The young man is looking at the comments section, haha. I’m guessing he’s liking what he’s seeing.”

“I wish my father had a cool superpower. I could just do nothing and be an otaku.”

“Sigh, am I the only person who thinks the Cards Uncle’s son looks familiar?”

The livestream’s comments section was still talking about Lin Yu as everyone was envious of him.

If this happened while he was still a slacker, he might be excited about it. However, he felt the opposite as he read people’s comments.

While it was good that his father was doing well, he wished instead that he was doing better than his father.

“Right, Father, why are you here at my school today?”

Lin Yu shook his head and asked his question.

“Wait.”

Lin Jin held the steering wheel with one hand and turned off the Fleye with the other. He then said, “The platform wanted us to try out our superpower here today since they’re getting ready to give out tasks to combat 2D Lifeforms.”

No wonder Xu Zhaoyang was nowhere to be found today…

“Father, are you actually joining? It’s dangerous.”

Lin Yu frowned upon hearing what his father said.

Although he understood that someone had to do this eventually, humans were selfish after all. It was normal to not want your loved ones to get involved in such things.

“It’s just testing out the combat capabilities of our superpowers; all Super Livestream Heroes are in this together.”

Lin Jin continued explaining as he drove, “After passing the combat capabilities test of our superpowers, we will be given access to the combat missions but are not required to accept them.

“Father, you shouldn’t accept it then. At least, not for now.”

Lin Yu briefly advised his father.

He barely had any right to speak in front of Lin Jin, and it was useless to try and persuade Lin Jin whenever his mind was set on something. Lin Yu could only remind himself to strengthen his own capabilities as soon as possible for his father’s sake.

The Second Rank Piston Exo suit did not do much damage to superhumans, and Lin Yu could barely wield the Mechanical Charge Blade. He could barely protect himself at the moment.

…

‘SHOCKING: A Slacker Created An Academic Genius System And Became The Man With Tricks.’

“Are you still stressed about being a slacker? Are you envious of main characters in novels who have tricks up their sleeves? Stay tuned for the Slacker’s Counterattack Series—a self-made Academic Genius System.”

Lin Yu posted a status on B site after reaching home; it was a preview.

The status truly represented the essence of marketing tactics: it started with a photo, and the rest was just words. It was a guess-the-Pokémon photo, and the status did not disclose anything. Apart from describing the Academic Genius System as a trick, the rest of the status was pretty vague.

This was a similarity all advertisements had—the content was irrelevant, but it had to have an attractive title.

It was rare to find young people who had yet to be exposed to novels and his over a million followers were not fake, so it was natural that the status attracted a lot of attention within a short period of time.

“Pigeon Demon, you’re finally here with updates! I thought you left the site because of the haters! It’s been half a month!”

“Pfft, you’re a slacker? I wouldn’t believe that. You’re slick.”

“An Academic Genius System like the novels? Is that possible? Does the uploader have an awakened superpower?”

“Uploader, are you done with the system? Is it effective? I have chronic Slacker’s Disease, help!”

“You’re out of your mind. Wake up and go back to your part-time job.”

The comment section of the status was lively. Most of the comments were from his loyal fans but there were also those who asked for new gauntlets videos and others who simply just insulted Lin Yu.

“Haha, you’re coming up with tricks? Become an Awakened Superhuman before you talk about anything else.”

“This is so exaggerated… Why is B site flooded with so many ads lately?”

“How did an uploader like this get over a million followers?”

These comments were common so Lin Yu ignored them all.

Anyone who worked in a profession of public nature would inevitably meet all kinds of people. Some people would love him for it, while others would hate it. If he were to pay attention to each hateful comment, he would have been overwhelmed in anger by now. Selective ignorance was a basic skill he had after what he had gone through over the past few weeks.
