CHAPTER 52: 50, ARRIVAL AT SATURN (SEEKING RECOMMENDATIONS AND MONTHLY TICKETS)

I didn’t expect that helping others could bring such a reward.

Lu Lin reflected on his experience this afternoon.

Could it be that I also received feedback from Star Power when I performed the baptism for the two newborns?

He searched online but didn’t find any useful information. The last 1.6% of his Star Vein Refinement Degree was somehow completed in a daze.

Time to sleep. There’s not much else to do in the middle of the night, especially when I don’t have a girlfriend.

Lu Lin did go to sleep. However, he was not aware that his actions at North Capital University that day had been filmed, made into a short video, and directly posted on the internet.

While a vast majority of people praised Lu Lin’s bravery, some made ill-timed and sour remarks.

"This is definitely scripted; it’s fake! It can’t be possible for a pregnant woman to give birth so quickly. When my mom gave birth to me, she was supposedly in discomfort for an hour."

"There are many questionable aspects. North Capital, being a Federal Super-Large City, had medical teams arrive only after more than half an hour. Even on Jupiter, it would only take 20 minutes."

"All of you only see what’s plausible, but did anyone consider the age of this so-called Star Warrior? At a mere eighteen years old, his talents must have just awakened, and we don’t even know if his Star Vein Refinement Degree has reached 5%! Yet, he managed to support a doctor through the surgery?"

More and more people came out to criticize Lu Lin’s actions and this incident. Many bystanders were swayed and began to think that this incident was staged. Lu Lin, they speculated, was probably a budding star an entertainment company was planning to promote; this was merely an attempt to build a positive public image.

The topic shifted, and many casual female onlookers noticed Lu Lin’s good looks.

"Wow, that young man is so handsome!"

"I’m a fan now! Regardless of whether it was staged or not, a handsome and kindhearted young man like him is worth my support."

"To the person who claimed their birth took an hour: did the nurse throw the baby out back then and raise you instead?"

"Exactly! These people are just mindlessly bashing. I’ve lived in North Capital for thirty years. During rush hour, a trip that normally takes half an hour takes at least two hours. If you don’t know, don’t spread nonsense!"

"Can’t there be a genius among those who awaken their Talent at eighteen? This young man is so handsome; he might have already reached the standard of a Level 1 Star Nucleus Warrior!"

"Yes, girls! No matter what, we can’t let our handsome young man be wronged. If anyone has information about him, please send it to me. I’m a lawyer, and I can sue those rumor-mongers!"

Just as the netizens’ discussion reached its peak, a video was shared by countless online influencers. The video was a personal account from a man—the husband of the pregnant woman involved in the afternoon’s incident at North Capital University.

"Hello, everyone concerned about this matter. My name is Li Yinuo, Citizen Number XXX. I currently run an agricultural products company on Saturn. The company isn’t large, but anyone interested can verify its existence."

"This afternoon, while my wife and I were visiting the Blue Star North Capital University Old District, her waters suddenly broke near the West Gate. The situation was critical. Thankfully, Dr. Liu Cishan from Mars Century Maternity Hospital and a young man helped my wife deliver our babies."

"Currently, my wife and our son and daughter are all healthy. They are at the North Capital University Second Affiliated Hospital for observation and postpartum recovery."

"Regarding the online claims that this was a marketing stunt or a scripted event to launch a new entertainer—these are untrue speculations. Please stop spreading them."

"As for the student in the video, we only know his surname is Lu. We don’t know his full name, school, or workplace. We hope anyone who recognizes him can contact us privately. My family and I are extremely grateful to him."

"Finally, I have some good news. After Student Lu performed a Star Power baptism for them, my son and daughter have both had an Awakening! We are so grateful. There are many good people in the federation."

"To thank Student Lu for his help, although I, Li Yinuo, am a person of little influence, I am willing to donate 100,000 yuan to the Blue Star Women and Children Health Foundation. I will also give my company employees a small red envelope."

"Thank you again."

After Li Yinuo finished speaking, he transferred 100,000 yuan directly to the foundation in the video. Simultaneously, with countless netizens watching, he sent a large red envelope to his company’s group chat.

The video ended.

The previously tumultuous internet atmosphere instantly changed direction. Everyone was praising Li Yinuo and actively trying to find information about Lu Lin.

In the Star Skill Era, with such advanced technology, it was virtually impossible for someone to completely hide their information.

Before long, fellow passengers from Lu Lin’s flight and high-speed train provided relevant information.

Eventually, netizens pieced together Lu Lin’s background.

He was a recent graduate from Tongyuan Golden Sword Middle School, with an awakened Earth Talent. He was a student of Master Jiang Yueming and, just days before, had helped several Tongyuan students who struggled with Comprehending Star Skills.

In just ten days, Lu Lin had transformed from an ordinary person to a Star Core Warrior, and then to a Star Skill Instructor.

A netizen working at the Blue Star Star Skill Instructors Association even revealed that Lu Lin was now an official Star Skill Instructor.

Within a few days, he had guided hundreds of students in Star Skills, including some in Double Star Skills.

Soon, Lu Lin’s name went viral.

The Blue Star Leader, stationed in North Capital, praised Lu Lin’s actions on social media and called for Blue Star students to learn from Student Lu.

The Blue Star Leader knew Lu Lin’s accomplishments didn’t stop there. On the very day of his Awakening, he had assisted Tongyuan in rescuing hostages and defeating Black Shark Society Gang Bandits.

Such a young genius, even without his connection to Master Jiang Yueming, deserved to be widely promoted to inspire public morale.

Overnight, "Learn from Lu Lin" became one of Blue Star’s Hot Words.

Countless appearance fans of Lu Lin spontaneously formed various support clubs.

However, all of this was temporary. Lu Lin didn’t plan to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. This fame and these fans would dissipate like smoke after a while.

The next day, Lu Lin took a walk around the hotel, bought a famous North Capital Roast Duck to bring back to his parents, then returned to the hotel to pack. Afterward, he headed to the North Capital Suburban Interstellar Aviation Center.

Three days later, after the Interstellar Battleship passed the moon, Mars, and Jupiter, it finally arrived at Saturn—Lu Lin’s true home.

"Dear passengers, good morning. The Starship has now arrived at Saturn. Passengers disembarking at Saturn, please collect your personal belongings and deactivate your life support cabins in preparation for landing."

The announcement was made in both Chinese and English.

Lu Lin exited his cultivation state, deactivated his life support cabin, gathered his luggage, and walked to the disembarkation hatch.

Through the high-strength ultra-fiber glass of the hatch door, Lu Lin watched the surface of Saturn draw nearer. Gradually, the buildings and aircraft on the ground became clear.

With a muffled, filtered thud, the starship Lu Lin was on landed safely.

Saturn, I’m back.
