534 Another Round of Surprise (1/2)

The ball of light came to a halt, finally landing itself on Turkish!

'Another language?'

Ye Lingchen's brows twitched a little. Although he was not delighted, he was not disappointed either.

When it came to languages, they have not been particularly helpful. To date, he was able to understand Bird Language and Dog Language[1] and wondered what language it would be this time.

Ye Lingchen had a feeling that the basic level of a language skill only allowed him to understand but not speak, which made it very limiting. If his language could be upgraded and allowed him to directly communicate with animals, that would give it some value!

Along with a flash of gold, another line of language appeared under Turkish—Bug Language!

'First the Wood Spirit Constitution and now Bug Language. Is this trying to tell me to be one with nature?!'

He recalled a saying on insect noises and bird calls. It described the sound of insects and birds as a type of symphony. 'Too bad I won't be able to enjoy that as they will all be ceaseless chatter to my ears.'

'Sigh, a prodigy would lose a lot of enjoyment in life in the course of obtaining great strength. Perhaps this is what it means to gain some and lose some.'

After two lucky draws and spending 200,000 popularity points, he was satisfied and stopped there.

Intermediate skill upgrade would require one million popularity points. It was a little too costly. Ye Lingchen was hoping to save up 10 million popularity points, therefore without any special conditions, he would hold back from taking intermediate skill upgrades.

It was good enough to upgrade those two skills. Life should not be rushed.

However, when Ye Lingchen's gaze fell on the popularity points display, he was stunned, completely flabbergasted.

Logically, after spending 200,000 popularity points, his 4.8 million popularity points should go down to 4.6 million. However, it seemed to have increased instead…

After rubbing his eyes, Ye Lingchen finally confirmed that his popularity points were at 5,083,876.

It did not go down by 200,000 but instead went up by another 200,000. It was excessively dramatic, and came as another surprise to him.

'This...did the heavens fell in love with me? This is a little too much of a surprise for me, right? It just keeps coming.'

Ring, ring, ring!

Just then, his phone rang.

”Hello, Feifei.”

”Lingchen, did you really save those lost infants?” Xiao Feifei sounded urgent and skeptical.

Ye Lingchen smiled, finally understanding the reason his popularity points increased. He then answered, ”Yes!”

”You're fantastic!” Even someone as composed as Xiao Feifei was unable to let out a girly scream. ”Did you know that you're on China Morning News?! Moreover, you were named on the news. It was a full 15 seconds of coverage!”

That was China Morning News! The most authoritative news body in the country!

Appearing on this news segment meant acknowledgment from the government. Those that appeared there were greater than any celebrity!

One would know that even if a celebrity made a short appearance on the China Morning News, it would be sufficient to brag for life!

What about Ye Lingchen?

Not only was he praised, he also had a full 15 seconds of coverage! How long was a news segment? Every second was essential!

If a news report went on for 15 seconds, that was sufficient to prove its importance to the entire nation.

”Hahaha, I'm just lucky,” Ye Lingchen replied, laughing.

He knew that the news segment was related to the Warrior's Department. After all, Ye Lingchen had not merely rescued some children, but the other matters could not be made public. The government would naturally divert attention to this.
