Lin Xiaole, a college student with social anxiety, snapped at a cafeteria lady, “The way you shake that ladle looks like you’re dancing the Subject Three.” To his surprise, he activated the [Comedy King System]. From then on, telling jokes earned him experience points. Making the cafeteria lady laugh got him two extra pieces of meat, while making the dean see red earned him a “Dead-Air Immunity Card.” He could even turn the cap of top student Chen Xue’s fountain pen into a joke about how it was “sweeter than sweet-and-sour pork.”
