At this very moment, the chat in the Unfilial Son’s livestream was flooded with three English words.
They read: Dog eats dog.
It perfectly matched the scene unfolding before everyone’s eyes—no wonder all the viewers kept spamming it.
Although most viewers could only watch the streamer’s third-person perspective, they actually had two angle choices: one was an over-the-shoulder rear view, and the other was an over-the-shoulder frontal view.
The frontal over-the-shoulder angle was usually reserved for handsome streamers, letting the audience admire the streamer’s looks.
So the viewers could see the little story playing out behind the streamer.
Yet the streamer himself had no idea what was happening behind him, nor what everyone was spamming in chat.
“Hah!” Xu Bei was still locked in a battle of wits and courage with the female ghost, blocking the final wave of black hair spirals with precision.
His movements were so fast the screen was filled with afterimages, lightning-quick; he crouched, dashed forward, instantly breaking through the last line of black hair defenses.
Xu Bei had pushed himself to the limit, but the female ghost’s moves remained unchanged—she still lunged forward with clawed hands trying to wrap around the player.
“How can the same move be effective twice?” Xu Bei snorted coldly.
Not to mention that the first time this move hadn’t even caught the streamer!
“Pfft! Pfft!” He didn’t bother dodging and took two punches head-on, breaking the ghost’s clawed hand.
The ghost’s rigidity couldn’t compare to the steel-like female overseer; every punch caused noticeable stiffness.
Time was pressing, and Xu Bei didn’t want to drag things out—he went all out with heavy punches.
Before equipping the knuckle duster, no matter how he punched monsters, the damage dealt was always the same, or maybe the health lost was so small it was imperceptible.
But once Xu Bei put on the knuckle duster, there was a visible difference between light and heavy punches on monsters.
This was one of the significant advances of virtual games over traditional computer games: the Floating Damage System.
Floating damage means the final damage a player inflicts on a monster depends on the force of the player’s attack.
It’s a special system only virtual games can design, making combat feel much more realistic.
But while the realism is impressive, the fluctuating damage isn’t always good news for players.
It easily leads to misjudgments about a monster’s health and one’s own damage output, causing players to leave a monster alive by a hair, only to get killed in turn.
Especially in action-adventure survival games like this one, a single slip-up can mean instant death.
But that’s beside the point…
Xu Bei had no such worries.
He was a brute—only knowing how to maximize his damage.
His previously used lightning jab punch had been discarded, now only used for quick counters.
“Bang!” Xu Bei swung his right fist upward, unleashing a charged rising dragon punch that connected with the female ghost’s chin, sending the lithe humanoid boss flying.
He then jumped up on the spot and delivered a spinning aerial kick to the ghost’s belly—a fast, precise finishing combo that kicked the ghost into a sideways V shape.
As mentioned before, players equipped with knuckle dusters could deal damage even with kicks—this was a special weapon mechanic.
Although this female ghost was undeniably beautiful and a feast for the eyes, right now Xu Bei could only be ruthless.
In almost the blink of an eye, he drained the ghost’s remaining half health, successfully defeating the boss guarding the second floor of the abandoned factory.
However, Xu Bei couldn’t relax and enjoy his victory yet—the fight wasn’t over.
He whipped his head around—but it was already too late.
“Pfft!” A Japanese katana pierced through his chest, stabbing his heart.
Fortunately, this was a virtual game; the player’s body had no real heart, and stabbing the heart didn’t mean instant death.
At worst, it just dealt critical hit damage. Xu Bei’s health immediately dropped to half.
“For my big red envelope! Die for me!” The invader pulled out the blade and slashed upward again fiercely.
But then came a crisp “clang!”
The streamer’s lightning-fast right hook struck the katana blade from the side, twisting the attack off course.
“Ah!?” The invader was stunned.
Could a close-range slash really be deflected?
A punch actually twisted a katana mid-swing?
Was this really the kind of move a newbie streamer could pull off?
The next moment, before the invader could react or counterattack, a snake-like punch landed squarely on his face, sinking deeply into his flesh.
That punch was so heavy it made no sound at all.
“Thank you, my anger has nowhere to vent,” the small streamer hissed through clenched teeth.
“Bang! Bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!~Bang!”
Following this, the invader faced a flurry of rapid punches like a fierce storm.
He felt like the world had turned into nothing but fists, unable to see anything else.
His health depleted in an instant, and even as his body began to dissolve, he still took dozens of punches from the relentless streamer.
“Hoo!” Xu Bei’s final straight punch shattered even the invader’s disappearing particle effect, truly pulverizing him to dust.
In truth, what Xu Bei wanted to kill most was the annoying supporter always nagging and lecturing—the one he really wanted to bash his head in.
But because of the game’s rules, he couldn’t harm that guy; venting his rage on an invader was the next best thing.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the corridor, Dao Xia Qujing’s form began to fade.
The boss was defeated, and as a supporter, it was time for him to leave.
“Next time, get matched as an invader—I want to tear your face apart with my own hands,” Xu Bei grinned fiercely like a beast.
“Heh.” Dao Xia Qujing snorted coldly, offering no retort as he quietly vanished, dismissing the chaotic group of killers.
Better to get up early tomorrow and report to the construction site to move bricks.
“Hope you don’t sell your soul to the guild.”
Seeing all those annoying guys disappear, Xu Bei finally got a moment to rest.
He sat on the steps at the end of the second floor and took a deep breath.
“It’s getting late. Ending the stream for today—so tired.”
After a while, Xu Bei logged off, took off his gaming headset, and went to sleep.

But even though the streamer logged off and the stream had gone dark, the chat was still spamming.
In fact, since the moment Xu Bei took down the female ghost, the chat had been celebrating nonstop, still going strong now.
Embarrassed once, getting one-shotted by the boss.
Showing off once, counter-killing the boss, then the invader.
This was the livestream formula mentioned earlier.
Xu Bei truly was a livestream genius, unconsciously delivering the strongest entertainment.
Tonight, all the killers sent by the livestream guild ended up just becoming part of the streamer’s show.
