"Tough guy, you’re on fire~~~"
Around 4 o’clock, just after he finished his post-market review, Han Lie received a ssage from Chen Yanfei.
"What?"
"Crushing it at the top~~~ Everyone is calling you ’God Lie’ now!"
Huh? Why her?
If it had been Wang Tianqing who sent the congratulations, Han Lie wouldn’t have had any doubt, as that was well within her job scope. But Chen Yanfei... she didn’t quite fit the picture.
Puzzled, Han Lie asked and only then learned the reason. Oh, so I’ve even beco famous on our school’s internal forum.
"Do you want to go check out how everyone is praising you?"
"Sure."
Han Lie, smiling, opened the school forum.
The School of Humanities had about 8,000 students, but laughably, it didn’t have its own forum. The small, rather pathetic school not only used the campuses, academic buildings, cafeterias, and teachers from Shanghai International Studies University but also shared other public facilities, like the library and the school forum. The school’s rationale was cost reduction, but this was hardly considerate towards the Humanities students. What kind of experience could third-tier students possibly have sharing a forum with the proud prodigies of first-tier institutions?
In reality, Humanities students only had login credentials for the Shanghai International Studies University forum. However, they didn’t integrate well on a daily basis, and over ti, hardly any of them frequented their own school’s designated forum for chatting and discussions. In comparison, their own Tieba felt more like their ho base.
However, today was an exception.
[Just wondering, how good is soone from our school who’s topped the trading competition for three weeks straight?]
At 2:25 in the afternoon, before the stock market had even closed, such a post appeared on the school’s internal forum.
The post began with a simple introduction to the Tencent stock trading competition, praising it as the nation’s top competition, boasting the most participants and great significance. Below this, Han Lie’s weekly top-ten profit rates and rankings since joining the competition were displayed.
At the end of the post was a photo of Han Lie. He himself didn’t know when or by whom the photo had been taken, but it captured him looking very handso. It was a candid side-profile shot taken while he was on a morning run.
Han Lie was dressed in a sporty T-shirt and shorts, revealing lean and smooth calves. As a calculating man, he paid ticulous attention to proportions when ’enhancing’ his height. Consequently, Brother Lie possessed a pair of uncommonly well-proportioned long legs, with slender calves and thighs that weren’t overly thick. His side profile fully showcased his bone structure: a high and straight nasal bridge, deep and angular facial contours, and an extrely smooth jawline, all contributing to a ’vibe’ that far surpassed a re 79-point rating.
Attraction scores are an entirely different concept for n and won. When n look at won, there’s a vast difference between ’pretty’ and ’stunningly beautiful’—a gap that often can’t be bridged. But it’s different when won look at n. Wu Qian, Lu Han, Kun Kun, and Xiao Zhan are all considered heartthrobs by girls, with exceptionally striking looks. However, male celebrities whose appearances aren’t considered conventionally top-tier can still be extrely popular with girls. Examples include Jiang, Dou, and Ya Peng from earlier years, and later, Jay Chou, Bigbang, and so on. In real life, when girls judge if a man is handso, the criteria aren’t solely based on an attractiveness score. Otherwise, why would terms like ’ugly-cute’ or ’unconventionally handso’ exist? Won tend to focus more on the overall ’feel,’ the complete charm of a man. So, for n, the most important things are to possess distinct qualities, morable features, and a unique appeal. As for raw attractiveness, a score in the seventies is more than enough.
Han Lie not only possessed an excellent top-tier appearance score of 79 but also happened to have a particularly distinctive facial type—cool and stern, fierce, and commanding. Therefore, his handsoness, amplified by the halo of his talent, was widely acknowledged by the female students.
"Wow, such a healthy hottie!"
"Little wolf dog!"
"Is his nose really natural? Oh my god, it’s so straight and perfectly shaped?!"
"Look at those legs! Look at those legs!"
"’Looking, looking! Don’t rush !’"
"’PFFT! What are *you* looking for, comnter above?...’"
"’The nose bridge and legs? I thought I was the only one fixating on them, but it seems everyone’s the sa~~~ HAHAHA!’"
"’Ladies above, watch your image! We’re from Shanghai International Studies University, you know! SLURP...’"
"’OP, where’s the front-facing photo?!!!’"
"’Exactly! You’ve just piqued my interest; what am I supposed to do now?’"
Well, I’ll be. So, girls from top-tier universities also act like this online... Han Lie found it rather unbelievable, yet it sparked an inexplicable and ineffable joy within him. Ahem, that feeling of chuckling to oneself, of being secretly pleased—everyone understands that, right?
For soone who’s been handso their entire life, being fantasized about on a large scale might not be a particularly interesting experience anymore; they might have grown accustod to it, even to the point of annoyance. But Han Lie wasn’t inherently one of those naturally handso guys. In his previous life, he was a nobody, a loser. In this new life, he only possessed his current looks and physique thanks to his ’cheat.’ It was the first ti in two lifetis that he’d been so massively hyped and pursued by girls; the experience was incredibly novel and delightful.
The newly crowned campus heartthrob? He didn’t know if others coveted the title, but he, for one, quite enjoyed it.
But these liberal arts girls, isn’t their focus a bit... off? Ahem, not just a bit. It’s *way* off. Many of the girls in the thread hadn’t paid close attention to the main content of the post. They’d rely skimd it, forming a superficial impression—Oh, he’s a very capable and talented junior!—before they started fawning over the photo.
What truly caused the thread’s popularity to explode, however, was the debate among the male students.
"’God Lie is unbelievably aweso! I’ve been following him for over a week. He’s stronger than you can possibly imagine.’"
"’Are you sure *he’s* the one who’s so strong?’"
