040: Classic, Filial, Anxious, Tense, Numb, Win

Seeing that his live stream was quite popular, Sisron had a bright idea. He had several barrels of beer brought over from the beer hall that the Allied forces had already occupied, and while Li Aoz live streaming, he didn't forget to promote some products.

Li Aoz felt that wasn't enough, so he asked Barnum to drive over in his hovercar with a set of barbecue equipment and plastic chairs.

Sitting on a plastic chair at the food stall, Li Aoz nodded in satisfaction. This was the soul of barbecue.

With his long sword tucked into his arms, he nonchalantly began to point the camera at the Surut Palace behind him, eating and drinking while chatting with Barnum and Sisron, and casually introducing the history of the Grant to everyone.

There was food and drink, and the air was filled with the smell of fire. The wind carried the aroma of Teppanyaki into the Surut Palace. The garrison soldiers felt a lump in their throats and their eyes reddened.

Li Aoz took a bite of chicken cutlet, then a sip of beer, and began introducing it to the viewers in the live stream:

"Hey guys, support our Granter's authentic wheat beer! Our beer is made from the best grains on the entire Azure Planet. It has a crisp taste, with the aroma of hops and the sweetness of fruit. It's not bitter at all, and it's delicious. To order, please contact us—uh, sorry, it's sold out. If you want to buy it now, you can only pre-order."

The excellent program effects and sales techniques made Li Aoz's live broadcast room popular. Before long, Li Aoz's live broadcast room even broke through the traffic restriction measures and was pushed to the seventh place on the Hot List, with 126,000 people watching online at the same time.

Ironically, the sixth person on the list is Liu Zhidong, the spokesperson for Frostplate Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with 137,000 viewers, who is currently engaged in a serious negotiation with the spokesperson for Sky Ring.

Over there they're discussing national affairs and the ever-changing political landscape, while over here a handsome young man is eating, drinking, and performing explosive art.

The two live streams have very different styles, but when put together, people immediately realize: they are actually the same thing!

Li Aoz was forced to leave by Frostplate, thwarted and exposed Frostplate's inhumane experiments, while Frostplate was also trying to maintain its international image and downplay and whitewash its inhumane issues.

The audience comes from all over the world. Previously, most of them watched Li Aoz's live streams from a casual perspective, out of curiosity. Some simply liked Li Aoz's personal charm, while others wanted to gain satisfaction by spamming fireballs.

Now, the feud between Li Aoz and Frostplate is back on the table. As they clash head-on, people can't help but recall the Nethermark Humanity that have been repeatedly brought up recently, the compelling evidence presented by Sky Ring, and the sanctions imposed by various countries...

All of this connected, and a thought suddenly arose in the minds of the audience: 'Is there anything I can do?'

With a scene of beating up a former employer about to unfold, netizens around the world immediately became interested, perhaps for fun, perhaps to fan the flames, or perhaps out of a sense of justice.

In short, everyone started to take action.

They showered Li Aoz with praise, showering him with gifts and comments like a virus, spreading the live stream address everywhere, and even returning to the SnakeClear Website for a 'revisit,' drawing more people to the site.

As the popularity of the live stream continued to grow, Li Aoz's behavior and image were reshaped. In people's minds, he had transformed from a villain who used violence to combat violence into a true fighter against hegemony.

His popularity soared, surpassing not only the official Frostplate livestream, but also, due to the rapid increase in popularity, the group behind the livestream immediately recognized the potential that Li Aoz could bring and simply lifted the traffic restrictions on him, instantly sending various recommendation slots and information pushes to the terminals of many users.

The soldiers inside the Surut Palace received a beeping message on their terminals. They unlocked their screens, and the first message pushed to them was from Li Aoz's live stream.

"Enough!"

The Law Three Special Agent stationed inside the palace could no longer hold back; what kind of behavior was this if things continued like this!

Traitors who betray their country are being turned into heroes; this is the greatest humiliation for the nation.

Snap! Enraged, Benjeson, the head of the Law Enforcement Division Three intelligence agency, crushed the terminal into a lump of scrap metal. The battery exploded and burst into flames before he slammed it to the ground. Without a second thought, he ordered his comrades behind him, "Enlit, Bodella, you two guard this place. Zuo Jiajun and I are going to kill that despicable traitor!"

"No!" Female agent Enlit put down her sniper rifle and immediately objected. "Sir, our mission is to defend Surut Palace and hold out until reinforcements arrive. We shouldn't attack before then..."

"Yes!" Bodella agreed. He picked up his rifle and fired a burst at Li Aoz, but the bullets were all blocked by gravity. He cursed under his breath and then said, "Sir, let's go out now. There are too many people outside. It's just a waste of ammunition and energy."

"Law Enforcement Division Three: Eliminate all external threats." Benjeson's prosthetic eye swung, emitting a dark red electronic light, and he said coldly, "Right now, the biggest external threat is that bastard Li Aoz!"

"Leave it to us." Zuo Jiajun took off his military cap and put on a gas mask. "As a [Biochemist], I can create an area with poisonous fog. With Benjeson and me, surely we can take him down?"

"But—" Enlit was about to retort when he was interrupted by an exasperated Benjeson: "No buts! Our country is being humiliated, and we're just sitting here. What will the people think? What will the His Excellency the President think? We are Law Enforcement Division Three. If we don't defend the security of the Colonies, what's the point of our existence?!"

"May the Twin Queens protect us! May our Frostplate robes remain unblemished!" Zuo Jiajun, a fervent nationalist, pounded his chest and shouted, "Everything we have done is for the happiness of the Frostplate People, and Li Aoz is destroying our efforts. What else is there to question?"

"Stop dawdling."

Benjeson, equipped with a military-grade prosthetic lung, was completely unafraid of the poisonous fog. He stood up, braced himself against the wall with one hand, climbed over the cover, and walked confidently into the garden of the Surut Palace. Zuo Jiajun followed closely behind, a biochemical toxic grenades already embedded in his palm.

"Hey, Li Aoz, your time for doing evil is over."

Benjeson took off his military cap, and his Law Enforcement Division Three overcoat billowed high in the wind and snow, like the wings of a Black Dragon. With a cigar in his mouth, he reached out to Li Aoz, who was sitting on a plastic chair at a food stall. "Turn off my live stream."

Li Aoz shoveled the grilled meat off the skewer, took a leisurely swig of beer, and said casually:

"If you want it, you'll have to come and get it yourself."

He slowly stood up, picked up his plain-cut longsword, and the plastic chair was immediately blown away by the wind. Barnum quickly got up and chased after it.

"However, you know what will happen next."

Benjeson narrowed his eyes. "I knew you'd say that."

As soon as he raised his hand, a sharp blade popped out of his prosthetic arm.

"It's time to end all of this!"

How come the number of heart gestures from Du Mouldy Crotch exploded as soon as the bride's character card was released?

Do you all like brides that much?
