Chapter 99 (Part 1): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

“Tomorrow’s Star” is a recently popular boy band audition show.

Although boy band auditions have become less novel in recent years, and the popularity of such shows has been declining, if there are good innovations, it’s still very easy for a show to become a hit.

“Tomorrow’s Star” has become a sensation due to its novel promotion system, spending heavily to invite popular mentors, creating hype around relationships, conflicts, friendships, and various other strategies. As soon as the show aired, it exploded in popularity.

With the show’s success, some of the participants naturally became famous as well.

Yan Tong was one of those who rose to fame.

Although Yan Tong had a lot of negative press online, these rumors lacked solid evidence and were cleaned up by people behind the scenes, so despite his tarnished reputation, nothing serious happened to him.

For people in the entertainment industry, these scandals are not a big deal. The show needed sensational points, and there’s a kind of fame called “notorious fame” among celebrities.

Before his transmigration, Yan Tong had always longed for a glamorous life because of his mediocrity and ordinariness. With insufficient entrepreneurial and financial capabilities, becoming a celebrity was the only way to fulfill his dreams.

Netizens are forgetful, and he believed he could clear his name in the future. Being notorious didn’t matter for now.

With this mindset and Lu Yan’s help, he participated in the show “Tomorrow’s Star.” Unsurprisingly, with Lu Yan’s connections and substantial resources, he indeed became famous, no longer trending due to scandals but with a more positive image.

Yan Tong was initially very happy. Ever since Fang Ziyang started retaliating, his days had been miserable, but now he could finally hold his head high.

He would outshine Fang Ziyang, and soon he would trample Fang Ziyang into the mud.

But when he finally had some leisure from his busy career and turned his attention back to Fang Ziyang, his smile immediately froze on his face.

Previously, when Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals launched the beauty serum and New World Technology partnered with the government to develop chip ID cards, he was somewhat amazed. He didn’t expect the world’s scientific research level to be so high. Before he could even use his cheat knowledge, such advanced products had already appeared on the market.

At that time, he didn’t take it to heart, just thinking that the research teams of those companies were indeed very capable, and Fang Ziyang was really lucky!

But when he later inquired about Fang Ziyang’s whereabouts, he heard that Fang Ziyang had been invited to participate in some important international competition and had taken a leave of absence from school for closed training.

Yan Tong was thunderstruck.

Others might not know what international competition Fang Ziyang was participating in, but he did, having read the book!

An international competition requiring closed training could only be the highly anticipated International Technology Competition.

In the book, Fang Ziyang first participated in the domestic Hongmeng Computer Competition, won the championship, and then was invited by the country to join the International Technology Competition team. He and Tang Xun led the team to great success, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of their lives.

How could Fang Ziyang participate in this competition, skipping the Hongmeng Computer Competition? How was that possible?

He had done so much to take away many things from Fang Ziyang, so why was Fang Ziyang still so lucky?

Yan Tong was furious and unwilling to accept this.

He truly hated Fang Ziyang!

He was also somewhat panicked.

He couldn’t believe Fang Ziyang was so lucky to find a research team comparable to his cheat knowledge. The impressive products from the companies related to Fang Ziyang must be because… the Lu family had other research materials left behind.

After all, the Lu family had been researching the contents of the cheat for generations, and it wouldn’t be surprising if some data remained in the outside world.

He was unwilling to accept this. After all the things he had done and the suffering he had endured, he believed he was favored by fate. Why should Fang Ziyang live better than him? He would never let Fang Ziyang rise again; all the glory and honor should belong to him.

For this reason, he had to use anonymous letters to instigate Lu Yan to cause trouble.

Lu Yan was Fang Ziyang’s uncle, and unlike Fang Yandong, Lu Yan had no incriminating evidence left behind. Fang Ziyang couldn’t easily shake off this little uncle like he did with Fang Yandong!

He had seen the destructive power of troublesome relatives both in novels and real life.

After instigating Lu Yan, he waited gleefully for the outcome.

But before any news came from Lu Yan, Yan Tong discovered something else that left him in no mood to care.

He found out… he was pregnant!

It was a complete shock.

How could he be pregnant? How was that possible!

This was not part of his current plan. He had confidently cheated on Xie Wenxu with Lu Yan because he was a man, and even if he was caught, it wouldn’t lead to troublesome pregnancy issues.

He had already planned to dump Xie Wenxu, so how could he want to have a child with Lu Yan and be tied to him?

Lu Yan, apart from having a good face and being easy to control, was completely useless. He was only playing with Lu Yan for connections. He would be out of his mind to get pregnant during his rising career phase!
