My agency went bankrupt before I even got on stage.

Two more glasses!

In total, Lin Fan had already drunk six cups, with almost no breaks in between! But after downing two jin of liquor, Lin Fan was completely unaffected, smiling as he continued to look at the somewhat nauseous Tu Jingyi: "Come on, let's continue, it's your turn!"

Gulp, gulp, gulp! Two glasses of wine are filled!

Before Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang could stop him, Lin Fan did it!

Lin Fan wiped his mouth, looked at Tu Jingyi's pale face, and smiled broadly: "Are you sure you can handle it?"

"Sure! Of course it will!"

Tu Jingyi felt his stomach churning. He wasn't a big drinker, and he had drunk quite a bit at the celebration banquet. He had already reached his limit after just a few sips, but now that he was being forced to make a statement, how could he show weakness? He knew that he was the winner tonight, and Lin Fan was just a loser. He couldn't be outdone by Lin Fan, so he quickly poured himself a glass. He wanted to chug it down in one go, but his stomach was churning so badly that he had to pinch his nose and take three sips to get it down.

"hehe!"

Lin Fan smiled, knowing in his heart that Tu Jingyi was out of commission, but Li Yingqi should still have some capacity, so Lin Fan continued to look at Li Yingqi: "Shall we continue?"

Li Yingqi's face turned pale instantly. She still had some capacity, but judging from Lin Fan's condition, he could probably drink another 6.6 liang (300 ml). If she drank another cup, that would be a jin (300 ml). Without even thinking about it, she would end up in the hospital after drinking it.

For a moment, Li Yingqi was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that Li Yingqi was a little scared, Li Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care whether Li Yingqi lived or died, but he was really afraid that Lin Fan would continue to drink, and that something bad might happen if he drank any more.

Standing to the side, Lu Bingyang didn't care about mocking Li Yingqi and Tu Jingyi, and seized the opportunity to say, "Why don't we eat some food first? It's no fun just drinking like this."

Someone offered a way out, and Li Yingqi and Tu Jingyi quickly nodded: "That's right! We've been drinking all night and haven't eaten anything. Why don't we eat something first?"

Lin Fan remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly picked up a bottle of baijiu in front of him, and under the astonished gazes of everyone, tilted his head back and gulped it down.

"Brother Fan!"

Li Xiaodong and Lu Bingyang were terrified and quickly stepped forward to grab Lin Fan's hand, trying to stop him, but Lin Fan's hand was as hard as iron and wouldn't budge!

He poured the entire bottle of baijiu, not a single drop left, into Lin Fan's mouth.

"Holy crap, something's going to happen today!"

"Three pounds! Three pounds! I've never seen anything like it today!"

"From now on, I'll respect no one but Brother Fan!"

……

Everyone stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded. How are we supposed to live if people still drink like this these days?

Lin Fan finished the bottle of beer, wiped his mouth, and said nonchalantly, "This bottle is my way of returning the beer you just drank! I don't like to drink when I eat, and I don't like to eat when I drink! Let's call it a day!"

Li Yingqi and Tu Jingyi opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but felt that anything they said would be useless. In the end, they could only smile wryly and say, "Brother Fan, I'm truly impressed! I completely admit defeat!"

Everyone was filled with awe and exclaimed, "Brother Fan, we're completely impressed! You're truly invincible when it comes to drinking!"

Respect!

"Is that even possible?"

Lin Fan rubbed his stomach and turned to walk outside. "I drank a bit too much. I'm going to take a shower. Anyone want to come?"

……

What was supposed to be a fierce drinking contest was transformed by Lin Fan into a showcase for his "Immortal Drinker" skill. Li Yingqi and Tu Jingyi, who had come to show off their superiority, ended up with nothing to show and could only slink away in the end.

The remaining trainees, however, became excited. Many of them were intrigued and started drinking contests. Although they couldn't drink as much as Lin Fan, they all drank with great enthusiasm.

Everyone enjoyed the drinks, which lessened the sadness of parting.

The hot pot simmered, with various ingredients floating and sinking in the boiling broth, occasionally being scooped up with chopsticks and sent to one's stomach. Then a new batch of ingredients was added to the pot, and the cycle continued.

While they were eating, other students kept joining in. The tables were pushed back and forth, one hot pot stove after another was ordered, and one refrigerator after another was emptied. It was a lively and bustling scene. They ate from 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning and chatted from the dark of night until the sky began to lighten.

As the steam from the hot pot dissipated, the last vestiges of noise in this dormitory building finally faded away.

Some trainees, tired from eating, took a short nap at the table, while others went upstairs to sleep. Some trainees left on their own, while others were taken away by their agents or assistants…

Lin Fan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the dormitory building, watching the first light of dawn in the east. He saw Huahai Island at 4 a.m. once again. Perhaps this would be the last time he saw it.

He arrived alone, but left with a group of friends. He's a homebody, but he never expected to meet such a passionate and hardworking group of people by chance. Sometimes he feels like he's become a little unlike himself during those 45 days.

I used to be a total homebody, but now I'm practicing singing and dancing diligently for my teammates. I used to be incredibly lazy, but now I'm putting in the effort to help everyone achieve their dreams. Also, this ridiculous system has assigned me so many forced skills; I have to get up early every day to practice singing, work out, do makeup and skincare—I'm practically becoming a different person.

Undeniably, this transformation is a positive one.

He became less lazy, more proactive, and his appearance and demeanor underwent a dramatic change. All of this seemed unfamiliar, yet it made Lin Fan wake up smiling from his dreams at night.

Who doesn't want to become a better version of themselves?

Laziness is just an excuse!

Some have summarized that during its 45 days of airing, "Morning Star" trended on social media 876 times. Of these, the production team likely purchased about half. Lin Fan alone accounted for 213 of those trending topics, meaning he contributed the majority of the show's trending topics this season. A professional market research firm also released a report indicating that 30% of "Morning Star" viewers started watching the show after seeing Lin Fan trending.

It can be said that Lin Fan carried half the show. No matter what Lin Fan thought, he became stronger and better, and he received honors and affections that he had never received in his previous life and this life combined. Countless fans became crazy about him.

After Lin Fan left the factory, "Lin Fan leaves the island" once again topped the trending searches, while "X-STAR" only ranked eighth. It can almost be said that Lin Fan's popularity alone suppressed a new boy group.

She can definitely be called the "elected center position".

Before even debuting, they've already made it!
