Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities
Chapter 229 - 168: With a King Bomb in Hand, Of Course You Have to Be Arrogant
That @ from Taikong Sen certainly caught a lot of people’s attention.
After all, as the first-ever champion of *This is Street Dance*, he wasn’t just Tiao Yin’s top dancer; he also had one foot in the entertainment industry. He was on good terms with Luo Xiaozhu, often acting as his backup dancer and even joining him on a few variety shows. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
So, everyone knew that when Taikong Sen tagged Chen Jincheng to "come and play," it was really a challenge. He wanted to compete with him using the new feature.
This move from the top dancer naturally caused a stir and piqued the curiosity of more and more people.
After all, Chen Jincheng was already in a class of his own with the new long-video feature. All four of his 60-second videos had gone viral.
You could say he was the man of the hour.
And now, Taikong Sen, the top dancer, was picking a fight with Chen Jincheng, the trending figure.
This was exactly the kind of drama that onlookers loved to see.
They couldn’t wait for the two to tear each other to shreds. The bloodier the fight, the more fun they’d have watching from the sidelines.
...
「Taihe District.」
In a certain room.
Chen Jincheng had just finished a cigarette when he heard Yinyin say, "Boss, someone on the internet tagged you. They want to challenge you."
"Challenge my ass." Chen Jincheng grinned at the girl. "Right now, the only limit I want to challenge is climbing those towering mountains."
As he spoke, his sinful hands were already beginning to scale those two great peaks once more.
Yinyin let out a delicate cry.
「The next day.」
The internet was already in an uproar. Taikong Sen’s invitation to "come and play" had blown up, landing directly on the trending list.
But since there was no response from Second-Life Star’s account, even more people who loved to stir up trouble started tagging Chen Jincheng.
Early in the morning, right after her "rod-based discipline," Yinyin picked up her phone to scroll through some videos and saw that the issue had hit the trending list. She quickly said to her boss, "Boss, the challenge against you is trending! So many people are tagging you. If you don’t respond, everyone will think you’re scared of him."
Only then did Chen Jincheng take the phone to see what was going on.
’This Taikong Sen doesn’t seem to have existed in my previous life,’ he thought. ’Looks like another difference between the two worlds.’
But the guy had a lot of followers—almost 18 million.
That was a huge number even in 2024, the year he’d traveled from, let alone now in 2018.
He truly deserved the title of top dancer.
Seeing that he was a champion from *This is Street Dance* and Luo Xiaozhu’s protégé, it wasn’t surprising he was getting all this attention.
During this period, Luo Xiaozhu was at the peak of his fame. For several variety shows, his appearance alone would cause the ratings to skyrocket to number one.
’With a mentor like that giving you a boost, you’d have to be a real idiot not to make it big on Tiao Yin in 2018.’
’Too bad this Luo Xiaozhu was a huge player in my past life. He had a scandal in 2020 and was completely canceled after that. I wonder when he’ll get exposed in this world.’
"Boss, he’s so arrogant," Yinyin said, a little indignantly. "You helped me film a dance video with 5 million likes. He’s never made a dance video that popular."
Of course, she had her own little motive. After all, when people tagged her boss, they tagged her too.
’If Boss responds, he’ll have to film another video for me, right?’
’I’m so excited.’
How could Chen Jincheng not see what the girl was thinking? He gave one of her Big Pendulums a playful smack and said, "Get up. I’ll teach you another dance, and we’ll film it later."
The dance Chen Jincheng was going to teach her was, of course, "Train Opening."
This was one of the two dances that made Mina go viral all over the internet in the other world. He had already ported over "Big Pendulum"; now it was time for the even more popular "Train Opening."
Once they were in a clear space in the living room, Chen Jincheng recalled the moves for "Train Opening," then used his "King of Disco" dance ability to perform it for Yinyin.
Just like "Big Pendulum," for a girl to dance "Train Opening," she first needed to *have* a Big Pendulum, then she needed to dance seductively, and finally, she needed solid dance fundamentals.
For Yinyin, none of these were a problem.
And after watching her boss dance it once, she understood exactly what the dance was about and performed it for him right then and there.
Chen Jincheng immediately took out his phone and started filming.
’Seriously, this girl is so richly endowed. The Mina route is perfect for her. That woman’s dances are practically tailor-made for this girl.’
"Boss, how did I do?" After finishing the dance, Yinyin looked at her boss coquettishly and deliberately puffed out her Big Pendulum, as if to say, ’If you don’t praise me, I’ll hammer you to death with these.’
For the sake of the Big Pendulum, Chen Jincheng didn’t hold back his praise. "Not bad. You’re truly gifted at this type of dance. Go change into a sexy dance outfit, and we’ll go to the company to film an official video."
Only then did the girl go to the bedroom, satisfied.
Just then, Chen Jincheng’s phone rang. It was a call from Sister Hong.
He answered, and Sister Hong’s voice came through. "Boss, have you seen what’s happening online? This Taikong Sen is clearly trying to use your popularity to boost the prestige of his ’top dancer’ title. If you can, it would be best to respond. It would also generate some buzz for Yinyin."
"Of course, judging by the popularity of his video, it might hit 3 million likes. If you’re not confident you can beat that, we can just pretend we didn’t see it and give it the cold shoulder."
"Sister Hong, why would we give it the cold shoulder? I forgot to tell you, dance videos are actually what I’m best at." Chen Jincheng naturally understood Sister Hong’s concern, but she had no way of knowing that in his previous life, of all the popular videos with long-legged beauties he’d followed, dance videos were the most numerous.
