Chapter 21: The anchor is cheating!

“The antelope is the second fastest animal in the world.”

As for which is the fastest, do I even need to say?

Xu Bei let out a cold snort and unleashed his full power, veins bulging all over his body, every muscle tensed to the limit.

At the same time, he closed his eyes, relaxed his mind, and instantly entered a state of selflessness.

The Unfilial Son Livestream Room went live during the evening Golden Time Slot, bringing a new surge in popularity.

He was now the Top Newcomer Streamer in the Progeny Game Section, his heat ranking just below those Big Streamers and Old Streamers.

Of course, the most attractive thing at first was the Unfilial Son’s unbelievably cool looks.

But having a handsome face is just the ticket in; in the streaming industry, Handsome Guys, Pretty Girls, and Internet Celebrities spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain, countless as cattle in the fields.

What matters most is still an interesting soul—a quirky, entertaining stream is what truly draws people in.

[Here’s a pure gaming newbie who never interacts with the chat, playing a barehanded challenge and getting absolutely destroyed by the first BOSS all afternoon.]

Wow! Is there a streamer more clueless than this?

The Unfilial Son Livestream Room had now gathered all the fun-loving viewers of the entire Progeny Game Section.

(Streamer’s still alive, huh)

(Still streaming)

(Still streaming)

(Just asking for it)

(Quit pretending)

(Let’s see how you take on the Supervisor)

(Streamer, let’s go back to the entrance and pick up a baseball bat before fighting, okay?)

(Streamer, we respect you!)

Everyone had their drinks and sunflower seeds ready, waiting to see how this guy would get spectacularly obliterated by the Female Supervisor tonight.

This afternoon, the streamer did a slide tackle and punched the Female Supervisor right in her undies—what an astonishing move, truly a godlike play.

It shocked the entire gaming circle—a punch that truly achieved gender equality.

But in the very next second, the streamer got stabbed through the head by the Female Supervisor’s counterattack, dying a miserable death—handsome for less than a second.

That’s the sharpest kind of streaming content: you’ve got to show off, but also act silly.

There are plenty of technical streamers on the market who focus on skill, but those technical streamers’ popularity stats are just so-so.

Because as a streamer, you can’t show off too much.

If you’re too good, what are us clumsy viewers supposed to watch for? Don’t tell me we actually want to see you showing off? Who do you think you are?

But you can’t be too bad either—if you play too poorly, you’ll end up like Xu Bei, getting roasted by viewers until you question your very existence.

But isn’t that a contradiction?

A streamer can’t be too good or too bad, so how are you supposed to stream?

The reason is simple—just look at the Unfilial Son, who’s ranked first on the Newcomer Ranking.

One word! Learn!

The game streamers who really blow up are always the funny ones who sometimes pull off godlike plays and sometimes make beastly mistakes.

You can’t call me bad, and you can’t call me good—anyway, I’m just funny.

The Unfilial Son’s gameplay is just that “funny.”

Now, in this era of Entertainment to Death at the End Times, everyone is racing to enjoy themselves.

And sure enough!

As soon as everyone joined, the streamer started doing his thing again!

Facing the Female Supervisor’s Electric Baton, he just stood there in a daze like he’d disconnected—what kind of play was this?

“Buzz!”

A lightning-fast flash split the air!

The Electric Baton slashed horizontally at Xu Bei’s face!

The fun-loving viewers were already popping champagne to celebrate!

(All of you, shut up)

(The streamer’s about to show off)

(Don’t blink)

With those sarcastic comments flying by in the chat.

The ruthless Lightsaber-Electric Baton swept through like an army, splitting the streamer’s skull.

But at the last 0.05 seconds, all the viewers were dumbfounded.

Because what got slashed was only the streamer’s Remnant Image…

The streamer was so fast, he left behind just a Remnant Image!

From the Female Supervisor’s First Person Perspective, all she saw was countless player figures appearing in front of her in an instant—she couldn’t tell which one was the real player at all.

Half a second later, when everyone managed to spot the streamer’s position again, he’d already circled around and was standing quietly behind the Female Supervisor.

He seemed to have passed straight through the enemy.

It was as if the BOSS had lost its hitbox.

But in reality, Xu Bei had just used a very ordinary basketball move: the Back-Body Dribble, also known as Spiral Footwork.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

A second later, the Female Supervisor’s face took dozens of punches, the sound of rapid blows echoing in quick succession.

The Female Supervisor’s Health Bar plummeted, dropping chunk by chunk, straight down to half.

The viewers were all stunned!

They didn’t even have time to type in the chat!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye!

It looked bizarre, but the principle was simple.

Xu Bei had used Spiral Footwork with a Back-Body Dribble, while simultaneously unleashing a set of Bullet Fast Fist attacks on the enemy.

His fists were really as fast as bullets—this wasn’t a metaphor or exaggeration—so much so that the viewers couldn’t even see his fists.

Let alone the viewers, even the BOSS Lady Warden couldn’t see them!

But when the Female Supervisor’s health dropped to half, she’d immediately enter the Second Phase, her whole body flushing with rage, the two milk sacs on her chest trembling.

But all that rampaging and going berserk was pointless…

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!”

Because during the transition to the Second Phase, she wasn’t invincible—Xu Bei landed another ruthless Machine Gun Heavy Punch Combo on the back of her head, instantly emptying the rest of her health.

“Two seconds. I’ve gotten slower,” Xu Bei muttered, sounding quite dissatisfied.

The Female Supervisor was insta-killed just like that, blood spurting from her mouth and splattering onto her milk sacs as she fell back and collapsed.

The Electric Baton-Lightsaber gradually dimmed as its master’s life faded away.

The dark corridor lost its main lightning source, leaving only the white flash of the camera.

The battle was over; the killing intent faded.

The whole world fell silent.

(Huh?)

(Huh?)

(Huh?)

(Huh?)

(Huh?)

(The streamer’s cheating!)

(Cheater)

(Cheating?)

(Cheat!)

But the mood in the Live Room was the exact opposite of the game.

(Is this cheating?)

(Definitely cheating!)

(Otherwise, how did the Female Supervisor suddenly get insta-killed?)

The unprecedented flood of comments crashed the chat system in the Live Room.

But an even more dramatic scene occurred—the camera flash also went out.

The streamer logged out right on the spot!

The Live Room suddenly shut down!

Only countless comments kept flashing across the black screen.

This only added fuel to the fire, making it look like he’d fled in guilt.

Did the officials just ban the cheating streamer’s Live Room?

This was bound to spread like wildfire and ignite the whole gaming and streaming circles!

“Huh? Why did I disconnect?”

Xu Bei opened his eyes, stared at the familiar ceiling, and let out a wail identical to the chat’s.

He’d logged out and returned to reality, so the Unfilial Son Livestream Room wasn’t banned by the officials.

As for why he logged out? Judging from Xu Bei’s expression, it didn’t seem like he did it on purpose, but rather that some uncontrollable external factor caused it.

But Xu Bei quickly found the reason…

He touched his head—turns out two ram’s horns had grown out of his blond hair.

It was the horns that pushed off his gaming helmet and caused him to log out.

“This is such a rip-off!”
