Chapter 56: The Ancestor of Thunder Rides a Qilin!

Upon hearing Jiang Tao's inquiry, Lin Nan froze for a moment.

He indeed hadn't considered it before.

However...

From the perspective of playing a deity, perhaps joining a cosplay club would be the most appropriate choice?

Of course, that was just a passing thought.

The moment he thought of Ye Qing, he realized that joining a club would mean following them to all sorts of activities, and he simply didn't have the time.

Besides, he was playing a god, after all; he had to maintain a certain level of prestige, otherwise, it would damage the venerable reputation of the Old Man Thunder Ancestor.

After thinking it over, Lin Nan shook his head and said, "I'm busy enough with regular livestreams, and I have classes to attend. I don't have any plans for now."

The three of them chatted casually as they walked back.

Passing by the cafeteria, they realized that after this morning run, they wouldn't be able to fall back asleep immediately even if they went home to lie in bed.

Thus, Wang Chengyu suggested they stop by the cafeteria for breakfast to fill their stomachs.

The three reached an agreement. Once at the cafeteria, Lin Nan casually ate a few steamed buns.

Wang Chengyu, on the other hand, was happily enjoying tofu pudding paired with fried chicken legs.

Lin Nan was also pondering which of the recorded suggestions he could implement next.

*Zzzzt...*

At that moment, it felt as if a bolt of lightning flashed through Lin Nan's mind!

Suddenly, a familiar sensation surged in his heart, causing Lin Nan to pause in surprise.

With a slight mental perception, Lin Lin confirmed the situation. He first shook his head, but a smile played on his lips.

"To think it actually came back so soon..." Lin Nan muttered to himself.

"Huh?" Hearing his voice, the two beside him turned to ask, "Nan-ge, what did you say? What came back?"

"Nothing." Lin Nan replied casually, then added, "I'm going back to change clothes first. I'll get ready for the livestream in a bit."

With that, Lin Lin stood up, preparing to head back to the dormitory to change.

Seeing Lin Nan about to leave, Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao didn't hesitate.

Without a word, Jiang Tao stood up immediately.

Seeing this, Wang Chengyu could only hurriedly gulp down his tofu pudding and scramble to catch up

"Wait, wait, we're going together~"

...

Back at the dormitory, Wang Chengyu was still somewhat bewildered and asked curiously

"Nan-ge, what's actually going on?"

"We were having a perfectly fine meal, why did you suddenly decide to head back? To livestream?"

Hearing Wang Chengyu's question, Lin Nan didn't explain much, merely smiling and saying

"You'll find out in a moment."

Just then, bursts of commotion echoed from downstairs in the dormitory building once again.

Hearing these somewhat familiar sounds, Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao froze, exchanging puzzled glances.

"What's the situation?"

Once Lin Nan had changed into his attire for playing the Thunder Ancestor and finished grooming himself, he headed downstairs.

He saw that black deer standing exactly where it had stood yesterday.

It seemed to be quietly waiting for Lin Nan's arrival.

"Eh??"

By now, Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao had followed Lin Nan downstairs.

Upon seeing the black deer, Wang Chengyu's eyes widened in shock. "Is that the same black deer from yesterday??"

"Hiss... wasn't it sent away by the Forestry Bureau? How did it come back?!"

Just as Wang Chengyu was shocked, other passing students were also staring at the deer.

And, of course, at Lin Nan, who stood before the deer clad in celestial armor.

*Meeeee...*

An ethereal deer cry rang out. The black deer seemed to feel a sense of awe toward Lin Nan's current appearance; it unexpectedly displayed a rare, docile posture, bowing its head to nuzzle Lin Nan as if expressing its reverence.

Lin Nan stroked the deer's furry head and said to Wang Chengyu behind him

"Don't overthink it. Regardless, it really did come back."

As Lin Nan's voice fell, Wang Chengyu seemed to realize something. He nodded repeatedly, "Oh~ So that's why you were in such a rush to get back. You got word, didn't you?"

"Now that you mention it, Nan-ge! We have to make the most of this opportunity!"

"It'll be great for the livestream! We can show the fans that this deer actually ran back!"

Hearing Wang Chengyu's suggestion, Lin Nan merely shook his head with a smile.

"Too conservative."

"Tell me, if I were to ride it... how would that look on the stream?"

As Lin Nan's words landed, both Wang Chengyu and Jiang Tao were stunned, seemingly unable to believe what they had heard.

They turned their heads in unison to look at Lin Nan, unable to stop themselves from asking for confirmation

"Nan-ge, what did you... just say?"

"You don't actually intend to ride it, do you! Wouldn't that be too dangerous!"

But whether it was dangerous or not, Lin Nan knew better than anyone.

Looking at this majestic black deer, if one could use it as a mount...

Hardly anyone could refuse!

Thus, under everyone's gaze, Lin Nan slowly stepped forward and stood beside the black deer.

The deer behaved quite submissively, as if waiting for Lin Nan's next move. It knelt on its forelegs and lowered its body like an old ox, behaving as obediently as the Thunder Ancestor's mount, leaving the onlookers speechless.

Lin Nan stroked the deer's back a couple of times, feeling the furry texture, then took a deep breath and leaped onto its back.

Wang Chengyu hurriedly started the livestream, capturing the scene through the lens.

The viewers who had just entered the livestream room happened to catch the sight of the deer kneeling and the Thunder Ancestor leaping onto its back.

Looking at the scene—the black deer holding its head high with majestic dignity, and the streamer on its back clad in celestial armor, holding a ritual implement in hand—it bore an uncanny resemblance to the divine statues of the Thunder Ancestor riding a Black Qilin!

"Hah!"

Lin Nan, sitting atop the black deer, issued a command, and the crisp sound of four hooves striking the ground rang out.

The black deer was now carrying Lin Nan, galloping across the wide campus!

Seeing this, Wang Chengyu's face was filled with bitterness as he hurriedly chased after them, while continuously explaining to the viewers

"Legend has it that the mount of the Thunder Ancestor is a Black Qilin. With every stride, it can command the wind and lightning, using its horns to summon thunder..."

As they watched the deer carrying the streamer, racing like the wind, the viewers in the livestream were left dazed, and the comment section instantly exploded.

"Holy crap, the streamer actually rode it?!"

"This looks too real!"

"If someone didn't know better, they'd actually think the Thunder Ancestor was manifesting his divinity on his mount!"

"A pity it's just running on the ground. If the streamer could ride the deer atop the clouds, the effect would be even more explosive!"

"Are you kidding? That deer must weigh at least 200 kilograms!"

"If he wants to go to the sky, the wires would probably snap!"

"But man, the streamer really does feel like the Thunder Ancestor descending to the mortal realm!"

"Can he just drop some divine lightning and sink the island nation of Japan?!"

Amidst the heated discussion of the viewers, voices continuously rang in Lin Nan's ears
