Chapter 175: Sudden Hot Topic
"Teacher! You've hit the trending list on C-Studio!"
Wu Shiqing, who had been browsing on her computer, suddenly exclaimed to Lin Qingshan.
"Ah?"
Chen Chunqiang and Kaede Mitsuhiro looked surprised.
"What?"
Lin Qingshan was curious. C-Studio had been picking up momentum recently. He often browsed C-Studio, especially enjoying the interesting videos it featured.
For example, the fan-made *Edge Runner* was well-done and engaging. The bullet screens and comments made watching even more entertaining.
But he hadn't come across any videos about himself.
"Let me see."
Lin Qingshan walked over to Wu Shiqing with interest.
"Teacher, look at this…"
Wu Shiqing clicked the video play button.
The C-Studio webpage displayed a video titled "Finally Met the Real Cyber Psychopath Teacher Qingshan!" with a substantial number of views.
The video had 800,000 views, over 30,000 likes, and more than 10,000 coins, and it was only posted two days ago.
The screen was still loading, but the bullet screens filled up the page.
"Fire pliers Liu Ming!"
"First!"
"Teacher Qingshan? Qingshan the old thief!"
"Goodness! The psychopath has come out!"
"Return Rebecca-chan!"
"Return David!"
"Qingshan the old thief! You're dead!"
"Congrats on trending!"
...
The bullet screens were overwhelming, making the interaction extremely lively.
Even before the video started, the bullet screens made it seem quite interesting. They even included explanations, jokes, and references at parts of the video that might be hard for the average person to understand.
This interactive experience was much more engaging than purely non-interactive videos.
Soon, the video began. It showed the scene from Lin Qingshan's signing event, filmed with a phone but surprisingly clear.
The video was edited, skipping directly to...
The host asked Lin Qingshan, "Teacher Qingshan, do you have any other hobbies?"
"Hobbies?"
Lin Qingshan responded, "I'm really good at skipping stones. I can get more than 20 skips in one go!"
"20! Wow!"
"Unbelievable!"
"That's impressive!"
"I can brag about skipping 20 stones in my village all day!"
"Is that real?"
"If it's true, that's amazing!"
"There's no place to demonstrate here."
"Even if it's fake, it won't reveal Qingshan the old thief!"
...
The reactions in the bullet screens were intense. Then, the latter part of the video began.
Lin Qingshan continued:
"Well then, I'll record a video for you all later! For now…"
He walked up to the stage and faced the audience.
"Let's go! Ignore it!"
Without hesitation, Lin Qingshan performed a backflip on the spot!
The execution was smooth, like eating Dove chocolate, smooth and enjoyable.
The bullet screens went wild:
"Wow!"
"He really did it!"
"Impressive, that backflip is so smooth!"
"Wait, did Qingshan the old thief really just do a backflip?"
"We were just joking, but Qingshan the old thief actually went through with it."
"No wonder he's the cyber psychopath!"
"Qingshan! My psycho!"
"Hahahaha!"

...
The bullet screens were filled with laughter, as no one expected Lin Qingshan to actually perform such a stunt.
The unexpectedness of the stunt added to the excitement.
With Lin Qingshan's current fame and influence, even a small gesture like this could draw significant attention.
Just like in the past, where certain celebrities' minor actions attracted massive attention...
Lin Qingshan's stunt video quickly went viral.
The comments section was also full of playful banter, creating a lively atmosphere.
"Teacher…"
Wu Shiqing looked at Lin Qingshan with some concern.
She worried that Lin Qingshan might be upset.
However, Lin Qingshan was unfazed, smiling and saying, "It's not this video I almost forgot."
"I still need to record a skipping stones video!"
"Now... whose filming skills are good?"
Lin Qingshan looked at Wu Shiqing, Chen Chunqiang, and Kaede Mitsuhiro.
The three looked at each other, and then Chen Chunqiang raised his hand. "I… used to do some photography, so I can handle it."
"Great, Chunqiang!"
Lin Qingshan said, "Let's go! We'll shoot a skipping stones video for my fans!"
Chen Chunqiang, Wu Shiqing, and Kaede Mitsuhiro followed him to a nearby riverbank.
Lin Qingshan handed his phone to Chen Chunqiang. "Chunqiang! Start recording!"
Though it wasn't a professional camera, the current best smartphone in this world should suffice for filming.
"Got it."
Chen Chunqiang took the phone and began recording steadily.
"Hello, my fans, I'm Lin Qingshan!"
Lin Qingshan greeted the camera before starting to search for stones.
"Today, I'll show you how to find good skipping stones. First, you need a stone that's good for fluid dynamics."
He spoke seriously as he searched for stones, explaining, "The stone's surface must be smooth, and it should have a slightly flat shape on one side!"
"For example, these two are pretty good. Also, the weight should be…"
"This one… is perfect!"
"Finally, it should be easy for your fingers to exert force. Alright, this is the one!"
Lin Qingshan showed close-ups of the stone to the camera as he picked it up.
He aimed at the opposite riverbank, "Hold the stone with four fingers! Aim horizontally, and position your feet and body to form a triangle…"
"Then! Combine your waist and body, shoulders, elbows, and wrist to throw it!"
Lin Qingshan's stone flew like an arrow, creating ripples across the river surface.
In Chen Chunqiang's phone footage, 1, 2, 3, 4… 19, 20, 21… 42, 43 skips appeared before the stone finally sank!
