Chapter 251 : The Villager Shared Controllable Nuclear Clown Technology With You

"Participating in the filming of 'The Big Traitor Bufan' is our generation's inescapable responsibility!" Wang Ze's support for his brother went without saying. As the existence who loved to strongly support his brother from behind the most, he immediately stood up, wanting to be the first to eat the crab.

He had to consider whether this was the only "Traitor Bufan" opportunity in his life.

"Coincidentally, rounding it up, I can also be considered a dark-skinned sports student. Please make sure to let me be one of the five big burly men! Please!"

So, Wang Ze bowed ninety degrees towards Lin Li's position and extended a hand as if confessing his love:

"Please entrust everything you have to me."

Bai Bufan: "_."

*Sick.*

And Lin Li was moved to tears.

Zhou Baowei was also moved by these deeply affectionate words and sighed on the side: "I thought Wang Ze's straight-man confession was stiff enough, but when I lowered my head, an even stiffer one came."

Bai Bufan: "(；゜○゜)?"

"So, I can't shirk it either. Whether I'm a traitor or not is another story, but I must have a share in this 'big'!"

Actually, many times, things like sacrifice are just like leaving a party. Many people are willing, they just lack someone to take the lead.

So, since Wang Ze had already taken the lead, Zhou Baowei closely followed and stood up.

He turned his head to look at Bai Bufan: "Don't worry, I'll lose weight these next few days."

Bai Bufan: "(；☉_☉)?"

Looking at the boys in the class who suddenly started enthusiastically signing up for this stage play, Bai Bufan didn't speak, just blindly twisted his expression.

He was really sweating profusely (man tou da han) right now.

*(Translator's Note: "Sweating profusely" (man tou da han) sounds like "head full of big burly men" (man tou da han)).*

*Don't you guys fucking get enthusiastic in inexplicable places!*

*No, you better only be enthusiastic in your interest!!*

"Let me play the traitor instead, Lin Li, I beg you. I suddenly remembered that in my past life I was a traitor and got shot in the head. I'm the most suitable to play a traitor. Yoshi yoshi, I am working for the devils."

Bai Bufan looked at the instigator Lin Li beside him with lingering fear and sincerity, pleading.

But Lin Li didn't speak, just blindly recruited big burly men.

"Fuck!"

"Class Rep, it's done. The actors and script are in place. They just need to rehearse in the dorm tonight," Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying and said.

Chen Yuying was laughing with the back of her hand against her lips. Hearing this, she shook her head: "Lin Li, this won't pass the review."

"It's fine, I know Principal Wang, our relationship is okay, he even praised me. So the reviewer is one of our own," Lin Li said it was harmless, he had connections.

Bai Bufan felt a bit nauseous listening to this. He had found someone with thicker skin than Zhou Baowei.

*And how the fuck are they going to rehearse?*

Chen Yuying naturally wouldn't believe Lin Li's nonsense and firmly smiled and shook her head.

Lin Li had to give up, and everyone continued to watch the video from the previous session for a while, fast-forwarding to find inspiration.

There was actually a class that performed a Chaplin-style humorous pantomime, and even specially wore black and white costumes.

"Lin Li, tell me, when a pantomime master is performing a pantomime, if I drink an invisibility potion, go up, cover his mouth, and beat him up, will the audience below think it's part of the performance and applaud?"

Bai Bufan asked curiously as he watched.

"Who says there are no real devils in the world," Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

*Drinking an invisibility potion and not going to be Happy Superman but thinking about this, Bai Bufan really has it in this life.*

But then Lin Li also fell into thought: "Eh, Bufan, tell me, after drinking an invisibility potion, if you close your eyes, can you still see through your own eyelids?"

Bai Bufan froze for a moment, then also fell into thought.

*Good question.*

"Or does anyone in our class know how to dance? We could be like this class, a few people dancing in the middle, and other students doing very simple backup dance moves around them. That would be quite interesting too."

Pressing the pause button and looking at the scene on the screen, Chen Yuying looked at the classroom again and asked.

When asked about specific talents, it was different from before. Two girls in the class raised their hands.

"Anyone else?"

Lin Li smiled somewhat helplessly.

*Class Rep, when you ask, isn't it inappropriate to keep looking at me?*

*Every time you lower your head and look up again, why does your gaze become even more intense?*

"Then I guess I can dance a little too."

Seeing her still staring, Lin Li raised his hand with a helpless and amused look and said.

*Everyone, isn't this basically silent oppression and bullying?*

*Forget it, since Chen Yuying wants it, it's actually fine for Lin Li to dance ballet in public.*

*Ballet itself is not a dance exclusively for women. In fact, many movements, paired with loose casual clothes, look very elegant when danced by men.*

*But no matter what, Chen Yuying is bad, I am good.*

Hearing this, everyone in the class curiously focused their gazes on Lin Li again.

*There's another master?*

"I have a new content proposal!" At this time, a voice sounded very clear in the classroom.

Everyone in the class looked over, and it turned out to be Wang Yuezhi.

Wang Yuezhi pointed at one of the classes on the multimedia: "Their class is just simply doing some acrobatics, right?"

Chen Yuying fast-forwarded a few segments upon hearing this, and it was indeed the case.

"Perfect, I learned a lot of new tricks this weekend. If everyone doesn't mind, I can perform a segment for the teachers and students of the whole school. It might be hard to win a standing ovation, but it shouldn't make everyone lose face."

Wang Yuezhi, as a man among men, an alpha among alphas, resolutely stood out at this moment.

"I've even prepared the costumes and props myself, no need for extra configuration, which can also save our class's funds."

Wang Yuezhi's inner feelings were far from as calm as his words suggested.

*Your mom.*

*Just now when Chen Yuying was communicating with the other two girls, she said she also knew many dance styles and could choreograph with them later.*

*And then Lin Li suddenly says he can dance too at this juncture?*

*What kind of thoughts are these, could Wang Yuezhi not guess?*

*Isn't it just to be able to dance with Chen Yuying? Shamelessly saying he can when he clearly can't. Anyway, he said he only knows a little, so when it's tested and found he can't, he'll have an excuse.*

*During the practice these two days, he might even deliberately look forward to the hand-holding teaching segment.*

*This is just forcing himself on her! This is shamelessness! This is being a simp!*

*In order to get close to Chen Yuying, he can say any bullshit.*

Wang Yuezhi dared to guarantee Lin Li was thinking this.

—Because that's exactly what he was thinking just now, he just didn't have the thick skin to say it out loud.

And by standing out himself, not only could he destroy Lin Li's evil plot, but he could also solve Chen Yuying's problem. During the tug-of-war last week, his performance made Chen Yuying look at him and smile four times.

It was a good opportunity to continue his efforts and create new brilliance.

"This class's performance format is indeed quite fun," Lin Li watched the multimedia for a while and agreed.

*Anyway, it's better than dancing.*

*—Not minding is one thing, but it's still better not to dance if possible.*

"I support Wang Yuezhi. Not to mention the costumes and props, he's also a skilled worker and doesn't even need rehearsal," so Lin Li said.

"But if it's only Wang Yuezhi, whether he faces or turns his back to the rostrum, there will be one side that can't see anything," Chen Yuying actually didn't mind either, and pointed out a shortcoming upon hearing this.

"Just like this class, we can rent a few inflatable mascot costumes and have a few people wear them, simply swaying around me. That counts as a performance too, and they can also help me hold and pass some props," Wang Yuezhi said seriously.

"If that doesn't work, since we're not running these two days anyway, Chen Tianming can learn some acrobatics from me these two days. If he can learn it, I'll perform back-to-back with him, ensuring both the front and back are facing someone.

"He also has a lot of potential. I acknowledge him. He can become a clown of a similar level to me."

With the sports meeting starting the day after tomorrow, even the athletes participating in the sports meeting would basically not do high-intensity exercise these two days, at most simple jogging, so they could indeed free up some time.

At this time, Chen Tianming was resting his cheek on one hand, looking out the window, fantasizing about his beautiful life with Qiaoqiao.

*Did I just hear someone mention my name?*

*Not sure, let me listen again.*

"No?!" After confirming, Chen Tianming suddenly turned his head and pointed at Wang Yuezhi, "Wang Yuezhi, don't fucking falsely accuse people. Who has a lot of potential? I'm not like you!"

*Trust me, bro, Qiaoqiao is really different.*

Hearing such a voice, Wang Yuezhi turned his head and glanced at Chen Tianming.

There was no anger from being scolded in his eyes, only a senior's appreciation and gratification for having a successor.

Chen Tianming: "?"

*What kind of fucking look is that.*

*You might as well scold me.*

"I'm not performing, I'm not performing, I can't be a clown," Chen Tianming didn't think Qiaoqiao liked this kind of thing, so he firmly shook his head like a rattle drum.

Wang Yuezhi sighed.

He now understood how those octogenarians felt when they saw the younger generation wasting their talent. It was really a pity.

"I nominate Lin Li. The Qing Dynasty's number one killer taking the stage, wouldn't that be funnier than anything?" Bai Bufan jeered at this time.

*It's time for Lin Li to die too.*

*It can't always be him harming people.*

"Lin Li? That works too," Wang Yuezhi turned his head, looked at Lin Li on the other side for a while, frowned, and said.

Although he didn't think Lin Li had the talent for being a clown, he was willing to accept it.

Because he could use this opportunity to judge who was better and show the gap.

With the bond of the red nose personally handed to him by Chen Yuying, he would absolutely not lose.

Facing Wang Yuezhi's eerie gaze, Lin Li pointed at himself: "Me?"

"You," Wang Yuezhi nodded, while also showing the composure of a strong person: "Of course, you can also choose to refuse."

"I don't care," Lin Li shrugged.

The acrobatics Wang Yuezhi knew weren't difficult either. With his physical coordination and abilities, learning them would be very simple.

"If there are two people performing front and back, accompanied by mascot backup dancers, with a funny and amusing tone, even if there are mistakes during the performance, we can pretend it was designed. It seems pretty good, so let's do this?"

Watching the situation suddenly develop beyond common sense, Chen Yuying blinked and summarized.

*The plan to see Lin Li dance ballet failed. It seems I can only try harder next time.*

Everyone had no objections.

So for the rest of the class meeting, everyone started discussing around the theme of acrobatics, what inflatable mascot costumes to rent, and how to arrange them in the formation.

They gradually formed a basic plan. The rest would just be waiting for Wednesday's free play.

Essentially, it was to leave behind interesting memories. Whether they messed it up or did it perfectly, it would be meaningful.

It wasn't until the bell for the end of the class meeting rang that everyone ended the discussion, still wanting more.

Bai Bufan stretched, ready to continue sleeping, but asked curiously:

"By the way, Lin Li, can you dance too? What kind of dance can you do?"

"Of course it's the cool, awesome street dance that boys learn the most to captivate thousands of girls. Could it be that I know the enchanting ballet that mostly girls learn and dance? How is that possible, I would never learn that," Lin Li immediately answered.

Bai Bufan: "..."

*OK, I know what Lin Li knows now.*

And at this time, Wang Yuezhi also walked over, took the initiative to approach Lin Li, and was concise and comprehensive:

"Lin Li, today at noon, meet me at the Art Building. I'll go apply for an activity room, and then I'll teach you everything I know. I won't hold anything back, because I don't want to win unfairly."

Wang Yuezhi's tone was cold but confident. After speaking, he left without looking back, extremely dashing, like a wanderer roaming the world.

Lin Li: "?"

*What is he mumbling about, what winning unfairly?*

"Is Wang Yuezhi planning to teach you everything he knows? Interesting, Lin Li, don't get filled up like a cream puff," Bai Bufan looked up and said upon hearing this.

Lin Li: "?"

But there was no need to pay attention to Bai Bufan's new interpretation of old words right now. Lin Li had a more important matter to clarify:

"Wang Yuezhi! Wang Yuezhi! Wait!"

"Can we change the time? Noon is the fixed study time for me and the Class Rep."

"How about the afternoon? How about evening self-study? How about English class?"

Wang Yuezhi's footsteps paused. He clearly heard it, but he didn't respond, staggering towards his seat.

Regarding completely defeating Lin Li in this duel betting everything, and proving who was the well-deserved King of Clowns, Wang Yuezhi felt his win rate seemed to have increased a bit.

—His comprehension of clowns had deepened.

...

Noon.

Lin Li arrived as promised.

There was no other way. He asked Wang Yuezhi in the morning if they could change to another time, but this guy ignored him.

He could only temporarily abandon Chen Yuying.

*Who let Wang Yuezhi be my true lunchtime good brother, instead of a fake friend like Bai Bufan.*

The two went to the Art Building. Wang Yuezhi took a key and opened an activity room, which was very spacious.

"Lin Li, what is your understanding of a clown?" Wang Yuezhi placed a large bag he brought on the table, sat face-to-face with Lin Li, and asked seriously.

Lin Li blinked, a bit confused by this setup and question. After thinking for a while: "A clown... is just a clown? Thinking of it makes people laugh?"

Wang Yuezhi chuckled upon hearing this.

He looked at Lin Li slightly contemptuously.

*Such a guy will probably never be able to affect my position as a clown.*

*Different paths lead to different goals.* Lin Li's answer made Wang Yuezhi lose much of his interest. He opened his backpack, took out the things inside, and went through the routine:

"Look, which one do you want to learn first?"

Juggling balls, long balloons, playing cards, unicycle...

*Wait, where the fuck did the unicycle come from?*

"You know how to ride this too?" Lin Li pointed at the unicycle and asked.

Hearing this, Wang Yuezhi looked at Lin Li's shocked gaze, feeling somewhat proud and smug. He nodded, trying hard not to laugh:

"I just bought it and learned it last weekend. I found that I actually have some talent in this area. In about ten hours, I learned it very proficiently."

Saying this, Wang Yuezhi took out the unicycle, unfolded it, placed it on the ground, and got on to ride it for a bit.

Although it couldn't be called particularly smooth, Wang Yuezhi indeed knew how to ride it, and it wasn't rusty.

Not only that, Wang Yuezhi even started juggling balls while riding.

Lin Li: "?"

*No, bro.*

*You really know how?*

*During the tug-of-war finals last week, you didn't know these fancy tricks yet.*

Seeming to notice Lin Li's gaze, Wang Yuezhi smiled.

"While you were wasting your weekend, not knowing what to do, I was working hard," he said lightly.

Hearing this, Lin Li guiltily thought about where he wasted his weekend.

*Oh, I went out to play with Chen Yuying.*

*It's all her fault.*

"If you perform this, I might not be able to replicate your entire performance back-to-back that day," Lin Li said humbly.

There was indeed an element of modesty. Lin Li felt he could definitely learn it in two days, but if he had to ride and perform at the same time that day, he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be mistakes.

"I know, I will be considerate of you." Wang Yuezhi seemed to also care for his brother Lin Li. He threw the juggling balls to Lin Li: "Let's start with the simple ones first. We'll see the results of these two days before considering the performance format for Wednesday."

"Okay," Lin Li caught the juggling balls and then started trying to juggle them.

The first time undoubtedly failed; he couldn't even get three balls to cycle.

You must know, Wang Yuezhi had already entered the great perfection of four balls and was getting a glimpse of the realm of five balls.

*In the clown world, strength is respected—*

"Please teach me the techniques! Mentor!" So Lin Li said sincerely.

"I will, Lin Li. Remember, don't treat juggling balls as a trick, but make it a magic that makes the audience forget to breathe." Entering teaching mode, Wang Yuezhi's tone changed. "Your red nose is your third eye. When throwing the ball, aim at the parabola and use your nose to feel the trajectory of the ball.

"Your hands must be flexible. When you first learn, silently recite the slogan in your heart: catch, throw, catch, throw, left, right, left, right!"

As he spoke, Wang Yuezhi began to demonstrate.

Lin Li's comprehension and physical control ability quickly came into play. In just a few minutes, three balls could cycle in Lin Li's hands.

Now he was already starting to try practicing juggling three balls while walking.

Wang Yuezhi nodded. Such an opponent was somewhat interesting. He had a bit of talent and wasn't too much of a waste.

But he always felt something was missing.

As a senior clown, he quickly discovered the key.

"Lin Li, this won't do," Wang Yuezhi stopped Lin Li from continuing to practice.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Lin Li caught the balls and asked humbly.

"Your expression is wrong," Wang Yuezhi shook his head.

"Expression? What's wrong with my expression? I don't have an expression." There was a wall full of mirrors next to the activity room. Lin Li went up and took a look, not finding anything wrong with his expression.

"Having no expression is the problem!" Wang Yuezhi hated iron for not becoming steel. "As a clown, how can you have no expression? A clown without an expression, is that still a clown?"

"Then what kind of expression should I have?" Lin Li asked.

Wang Yuezhi took the balls back from Lin Li's hands. As he started juggling, his face gradually began to change.

Lin Li's eyes gradually widened.

*This expression comparable to Fire Punch, Wang Yuezhi, how did you kid reveal it so proficiently? And what's with the clown aura gradually radiating from your whole body?*

*What just happened, is it an illusion?*

But Lin Li now understood what Wang Yuezhi meant.

Because with Wang Yuezhi's current expression, Lin Li wanted to laugh just looking at it.

*Is this the soul of a clown...*

*So terrifying!*

"Do you understand?" Wang Yuezhi stopped, put away his expression, and then asked calmly.

Lin Li adjusted his expression to keep himself from laughing out loud, forced a straight face, and nodded: "I think I understand, let me try."

Taking the balls back, Lin Li began to perform.

"What kind of crappy expression is this? Not a clown at all!" After looking for a few seconds, Wang Yuezhi couldn't bear to look anymore. He rubbed his brow, his face full of bad luck.

This was simply an insult to clowns.

Lin Li looked in the mirror. It seemed there was indeed a gap compared to Wang Yuezhi.

"How should I adjust my facial features for this expression?" Lin Li had to ask.

"You don't need to consider how to adjust your facial features. If you deliberately adjust them, it will only reveal an artificial, contrived feeling. The best expression is to adjust your inner self, and then let your face adjust itself. That is natural, that is a clown."

As Wang Yuezhi spoke, he entered that expression again.

*Retracting and releasing freely.*

*He has probably reached the pinnacle of perfection.*

Lin Li blinked and asked in confusion: "...How do I adjust this inner self?"

"That's even simpler. Acting is always just acting. We need to break away from acting to become a clown. And to reach this level, you just need to recall some heartbreaking moments in your mind," Wang Yuezhi revealed his secret.

"Heartbreaking moments? What kind of heartbreak?" However, Lin Li, this piece of dead wood, still didn't understand.

"Just casually recall a scene where a girl you like rejects and ignores you, wouldn't that do?" Wang Yuezhi frowned, even more unable to understand how Lin Li could ask this question.

Lin Li scratched his head, and after a few seconds, he spoke: "I don't have this scene in my memory?"

Wang Yuezhi: "?"

"You don't? How is that possible?"

"I really don't," Lin Li was somewhat innocent.

Before high school, 2D sluts wouldn't betray him. After high school, the damn system started training him. Although Lin Li had indeed never succeeded, he had also never failed.

As long as he didn't charge towards romance, he could remain invincible forever.

"Not even once?"

"Not even once."

Lin Li's expression and tone didn't seem faked.

So Wang Yuezhi stared at Lin Li.

—"(；☉_☉)?"

*Don't be noisy, I'm thinking.*

*Thinking.*

*Thinking TAT.*

*Wuwuwu fuck wuwuwu TAT!*

*Wuwuwu Lin Li, wuwuwu fuck your mom wuwuwu TAT.*
