MTLNOVEL Chapter 350: All-Star Audience
August 16, Dahai City Sports Arena, Link's global tour concert at the Shanghai venue.
Despite the recent flood of news on social media about Link being a scumbag, which impacted his reputation negatively, the concert venue was still packed that day with over eighty-three thousand attendees, and not a single seat was empty. There were even thousands of people outside the arena, listening in on the concert.
Due to the overwhelming attendance, the organizers had to deploy over five hundred security personnel to maintain order at the venue, and more than ten ambulances and fire trucks were on standby at the east gate of the arena, ready to respond immediately in case of any emergencies.

When the concert started that day, Link led his performance team onto the stage, first singing five popular English songs, "Never say never," "Unstoppable," "Trouble I'm In," "Keep On Movin'," "This Is Me."
Dancing and singing, he elevated the atmosphere to a higher level.
Every time he started to sing, the audience would shout loudly, "Link! Link! Link!"
Especially the female fans, whenever Link walked to the edge of the stage, they would stretch out their arms, screaming loudly; once when Link bent down to shake hands with them, he almost got pulled off the stage by a few enthusiastic female fans.
"This is too cool, I should have become a singer too," he remarked.
In the middle of the audience, Lin Genxin held a light stick, staring at the guy on the stage who was passionately singing in extravagant performance attire.
A couple of days ago, he thought the guy looked handsome in photos, just a bit more than himself, but now watching him from the audience seats, he felt this guy was incredibly handsome, without boundaries.
At that moment, he was like a massive magnet, causing a strong reaction wherever he went. The audience would boil over, reaching out their arms and screaming non-stop.
And when he waved his hand, the more than eighty thousand people in the venue would wave their light sticks along with him; when that many people waved light sticks together, it looked like a sea of shimmering lights, with waves surging majestically and stunningly.
In the past, Lin Genxin thought being an actor was pretty good, as it allowed one to earn money and be loved by many fans, but watching Link's concert, he suddenly felt that compared to singers, actors had much less influence on their fans.
"Big Lin, what did you say?"
His roommate, Zhou Fang, turned his head and asked.
"Nothing!"
"Oh, Link is so handsome! Look, Link is coming this way, Link! Over here!!"
Zhou Fang waved his hand and shouted excitedly.
"Keep it down! Don't forget you're also a man," Lin Genxin awkwardly watched him, as he shouted and his voice became as high-pitched and sharp as the surrounding girls, his face flushed with excitement, making one's scalp tingle.
"What's wrong with being a man, can't men be fans?"
"Your goddess Liu Yifei might end up sleeping with him," Lin Genxin retorted.
Zhou Fang put down his light stick and glared at him unhappily, "So what, the goddess will eventually sleep with someone, better Link than those losers."
"...Okay, as long as you don't mind," Lin Genxin shrugged his shoulders.
"Look! Those are two senior sisters from the '06 class and a few junior sisters from the '08-'09 classes, they are dancing as backup for Link," his roommate, Pu Bajia, pointed at a few girls dancing on stage and shouted.
Lin Genxin glanced over, and sure enough, they were schoolmates, Ma Danni, Lan Xinyan, Lou Yixiao, and a few others. They followed Link, dancing as they walked. However, compared to the dancers from the United States, their performance seemed a bit immature.
After Link finished singing "This Is Me," he waved to the audience below, took the stage elevator, and temporarily exited the stage, allowing local singers arranged by the organizers, such as Zhang Liangying and Jin Sha, to perform two songs.
Since the two were new singers performing for the first time in front of more than eighty thousand people, they were somewhat nervous, and their control over the stage was not as good as Link's, causing a slight drop in the lively atmosphere.
After the two left the stage, suddenly, a burst of dazzling fireworks erupted, followed by the pleasant sound of piano coming through the mist, it was the intro of "all of me."
As the mist cleared, there was Link, dressed in a flamboyant suit, sitting in front of a piano, his fingers flying across the keys, looking incredibly handsome.
The audience, seeing Link on stage again, started shouting excitedly, but as his sexy voice came through the speakers, everyone gradually quieted down to listen to his song intently.
What would I do without your smart mouth
If not for your sweet nothings, what would I do?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
Your passion ignites me, then you're cold as ice
Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
"Link is so handsome!"
Tang Yan, an actress from Dahai City, sat in the front row of the audience, staring intently at the man on stage, captivated by his handsome profile and upright posture, playing and singing by himself, feeling that this man was immensely charming.
Not just good-looking, he also had a very appealing aura, one glance and you couldn't look away.
"I heard his net worth is seven to eight hundred million US dollars, converting to Huaxia currency that's fifty to sixty billion, a true tycoon," Tang Yan said.
Next to her, actress Yang Dami also stared unblinkingly at Link, as if looking at a shining mountain of gold.
"How did he achieve this? I heard he used to be poor and made seven to eight hundred million dollars in just two to three years, that's incredible," actress Zhao Liying stared at Link, her round face filled with admiration.
"I know, Link is also a very impressive boxer. He earns forty to fifty million US dollars per boxing match and competed in five matches in the first half of this year, making 170 million US dollars. The American media even call him a human money printing machine," Zhao Liying explained.
