This incident, to Lin Fan, was nothing much. However, it was causing waves on the Internet.

An Internet celebrity named ‘Accepting all big girls for wives’ immediately re-posted the incident. At the same time, he even added a post of his own.

“The big brother carrying the video camera has left me utterly stunned. Currently, in our nation’s athletics scene, Hu Fei Yun, after reaching his peak, declined drastically in the international rankings. But as of today, this video camera-carrying brother has emerged out of nowhere. With that speed of his, I dare to guarantee that no one else in the world can compare to him. Even that Seidel will have to move aside. I wonder if the Sports Department has any plans to respond to this incident. They shouldn’t just let go of such a talent.”

A lot of people commented on this thread. One netizen even started a poll on whether everyone agreed with this statement or not.

The people who had watched the Shanghai World Championships live all cared about the nation’s sports achievements. Some of the netizens didn’t care at all but this piece of news was too dramatic. As such, it garnered the interest of many netizens.

A man who was carrying a video camera had run faster than the world champion. Such a topic was sure to have a huge impact and raise intense discussion on the Internet.

This post was instantly liked by countless people.

“There’s nothing wrong with that statement at all. It sounds very logical.”

“Motherf*cker, the person who ran so fast is just a reporter. If he becomes a professional athlete and goes through specialized training, won’t he be able to run like he’s flying?”

“Requesting the Sports Association to recruit him as an athlete.”

“Nothing wrong with this statement at all, buddy.”

…

No matter how frenzied the discussions online were, what troubled Lin Fan was still why the Encyclopedia task wasn’t completed yet.

It didn’t make sense!

As Lin Fan made scallion pancakes for the townsfolk, his mind was occupied with this matter. But even after a period of time, there was no sound from the Encyclopedia. It made him very frustrated.

Fraud Tian approached him and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Lin Fan replied, “You wouldn’t understand.”

“If you don’t tell me, how could I understand?” grumbled Fraud Tian.

Slowly, the ten servings of scallion pancakes were all done and sold.

And gradually, several of the townsfolk read and understood the sheet of paper on the wall. Lin Fan gained a few Encyclopedic Points.

“Master Lin…” Chu Yuan came over with a face full of smiles. The previous day’s events had been too astonishing. And the video captured by Master Lin was indeed very good. At that point, the spotlight wasn’t on those athletes anymore, instead, it was on Master Lin.

All the discussions online were about what Master Lin had done.

Lin Fan asked in a surprised tone, “Why are you so free to come here? Is there no competition today?”

Chu Yuan grinned and replied, “Someone took over me. I want to take a break today. Master Lin, will you go and become a national athlete after today?”

Lin Fan was at a loss. If the Encyclopedia task was completed, he definitely wouldn’t need to become an athlete. However, if it wasn’t completed yet, would he have to force himself to become an athlete?

“I’m not sure. I’ll decide when the time comes.”

What Lin Fan meant was that he would let the incident ferment for a while. He was in no rush. There was a chance that one day, things would suddenly change.

Chu Yuan said, “Master Lin, if you become an athlete, then all the awards in the athletics scene will go to you.”

Lin Fan laughed, “What rubbish are you spouting? If I were to compete, once I start running, you won’t even see a shadow of me.”

Chu Yuan laughed awkwardly. He hadn’t expected Master Lin to not be humble at all. But there was nothing wrong with what Master Lin said. If he really competed, he would surely get first place.

“Master Lin, I’ll secretly tell you this. I heard that on the sports council’s side, they are discussing you,” said Chu Yuan discreetly.

“Discussing what about me?” Lin Fan was startled. Then, he became delighted. Surely, they were discussing whether they should let him become an athlete. But after thinking about it, Lin Fan thought that as long as the task was completed, he would back out immediately. He was sure about that.

“About you becoming an athlete, of course! But it seems like they’re still debating. Some of them agree with letting you join while some aren’t so agreeable.” said Chu Yuan.

Lin Fan looked at Chu Yuan with a strange look and asked, “How did you know that?”

Chu Yuan laughed, “Gossip. I heard all of this from gossiping.”

The terrifying power of gossip.

Suddenly.

A series of voices came from afar.

“That’s Master Lin, the man who was running like the wind while carrying the video camera.”

“He really is here.”
