Lu Xiaobu arrived at Shimen TV Station, feeling drowsy in the car.

He's quite familiar with this place, so he just walked right in.

As soon as the staff on the road saw Lu Xiaobu, they immediately made way and greeted him with New Year wishes: "Young Master Bu, Happy New Year!"

Lu Xiaobu nodded, considering it acknowledged.

Then Li Jin handed out red envelopes one by one.

The staff who received the red envelopes were all grinning from ear to ear.

Meeting Young Master Bu brings more joy than the New Year, because it means money!

Arriving at the station head's office.

"Young Master Bu, you're here, Happy New Year."

Director Nie said happily.

He made a ton of money off Lu Xiaobu last year.

So, when Lu Xiaobu said he wanted to participate in the satellite TV's New Year's Gala, he agreed without hesitation.

This was a good thing!

Originally, their satellite TV's New Year's Gala had very few viewers every year, and the ratings never went up.

But he believed that once Lu Xiaobu showed up, these problems wouldn't be problems anymore.

"Well, are the arrangements done?"

Lu Xiaobu asked.

"All set! Check the timing, if it's not right, we can adjust it."

Director Nie pulled out the schedule.

He had scheduled Lu Xiaobu's performance around 10 o'clock.

It was a prime time, as most people were having dinner, meaning lots of TV viewers.

"Let's go with this." Lu Xiaobu glanced at it and thought it was quite good.

"By the way, Young Master, do you need any props for your magic show? I've prepared everything, you just say the word, and I'll arrange it."

Director Nie asked.

"No need, I haven't decided what to perform yet. We'll talk about it later."

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Director Nie was dumbfounded!

Not prepared yet?!

It's almost eight, and the gala is about to officially begin.

Young Master, you haven't figured out your act yet?!

Are you kidding me?!

Magic isn't something you can pull off in a few minutes!

"Alright, don't worry about it, go do your thing, let me relax." Lu Xiaobu said with a yawn, sitting on the sofa.

"Okay. Call me anytime." Director Nie said helplessly.

No choice, even if it's impossible, he has to obey.

He should think ahead, plan how to salvage it if the performance flops!

After all, this is his turf, so he can still make appropriate maneuvers!

Director Nie left, and Lu Xiaobu fell into deep thought, pondering and pondering!

Then!

He fell asleep!

Yes, very openly fell asleep!

Meanwhile, an online live stream began!

The live streamer was Bai Jun!

Of course, he wasn't streaming on Absolute Shadow, but a smaller platform.

"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Jun." Bai Jun greeted the audience pouring into the live chatroom.

Then.

The chatroom's message board exploded with uniform messages!

"Idiot!"

"Idiot!"

"Idiot!"

"..."

The messages were so uniform, as if organized by someone.

This made Bai Jun furious: "Lu Xiaobu, is it fun to hire internet trolls?! Come out if you have guts!"

He assumed it was Lu Xiaobu's doing.

"Meh, Young Master Bu doesn't have the time to deal with an idiot like you!"

A newly registered account taunted unabashedly.

Bai Jun's face turned green, and he frantically started muting people!

If anyone dared insult him, he'd immediately mute them, then retort back!

Judging by this action, this guy isn't a good character.

God knows how many people he muted, but the chat finally started to look normal.

Of course, the message count was pitifully low.

"Alright, let's get to business, I'm now in Shimen, heading to the gala soon. The purpose of this live stream is simple, to guard against Lu Xiaobu's tricks!" Bai Jun said proudly.

Since those insulting him were muted.

Now the chat was full of supporters.

"6666!"

"Right! That's how it should be! Against someone like Lu Xiaobu, don't hold back!"

"Bai Jun, I love you! Supporting you!"

"You must slap Lu Xiaobu hard, as for him, magic?!"

Yeah, just those few messages, pitifully few.

But Bai Jun seemed quite satisfied.

"Don't worry, Lu Xiaobu? Perform magic? Just a clown showing off!"

Bai Jun sneered, incredibly smug: "Real magicians need to practice hard, just like him, really think magic is something you just mess around with?!"

Messages.

"But why don't we see your magic this time? Just fooling and cheating people!"

This obviously looked like a new arrival!

And muted again!

"Alright, arrived at the venue, I'll keep the live stream going to prevent Lu Xiaobu's tricks, and under everyone's witness, I'll fully expose his tricks!"

Bai Jun's expression seemed victorious already, full of arrogance!

He believed he was a warrior today!

A warrior destined to return triumphant!

Lu Xiaobu is an idiot for actually accepting the magic performance!

...

The time came to nine-something, soon it was Lu Xiaobu's turn to go onstage.

"Young Master Bu, have you thought of something yet?"

Director Nie couldn't hold back anymore and walked in.

Then!

He saw Lu Xiaobu, who was sleeping, and Liang Lan who gestured for him to be quiet!

At this moment, Director Nie felt a pang in his heart!

Young Master Bu, so this is what you meant by thinking?!

You went to find the Dream God for advice, then?!

It's almost time to go onstage!

No props, no people, nothing prepared?!

Are you going to perform magic?

Or a talk show?!

Even if you want to switch to a talk show last minute, at least let me know to arrange it.

Liang Lan noticed Director Nie's anxiety and gently woke Lu Xiaobu.

"What's up?"

Lu Xiaobu asked sleepily.

"Young Master, it's almost time for you to go on." Liang Lan said.

"Oh, oh, then let's go onstage." Lu Xiaobu said standing up with a yawn.

"Young Master, you haven't told me what to prepare!"

Director Nie was losing it!

Are you really going onstage like this?!

"No need to prepare anything, let's just see when the time comes." Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and walked out.

...

Onstage.

As soon as Lu Xiaobu appeared, standing there, the whole venue erupted.

"Young Master Bu, forever and ever, rule Jianghu!"

"Young Master Bu, forever and ever, rule Jianghu!"

"Young Master Bu, forever and ever, rule Jianghu!"

"Young Master Bu, forever and ever, rule Jianghu!"

"..."

The whole venue, at that moment, felt like it exploded!

All uniformly shouting this phrase!

This, is Lu Xiaobu's influence in Shimen!

Besides him, no one else!
