From this battle onwards, Ma Lin shook off the moniker of 'Supreme Loser' and was dubbed 'Ruthless' by some netizens.
'Ruthless' doesn't mean being cruel or ruthless in action, but rather having great determination, daring to do what others don't dare to do.
A person who, in order to buy a phone, eats only one meal a day for a continuous year, can be called ruthless.
A person who dares to drink the foot-washing water of the girl he's pursuing and even posts it on TikTok to share with everyone is also considered ruthless.
Is Ma Lin ruthless? Not in the least. But the way he fought in this battle was a breath of fresh air for the viewers, so they reduced their teasing and showed him a bit more respect.
Ma Lin knew that he would encounter many troubles and many battles in the future.
