"To become strong is a pursuit etched into the depths of one's DNA. Every man has once harbored the ambition to become the strongest in the world, only to be forced to give it up by various pressures. But even if they give up, it will not change their pursuit of 'strength' in their hearts!"

Watching George Augustus demonstrate the unfolding of his Light Wings in the interview program, Feng Xue felt so embarrassed she wanted to dig her toes into the ground. Although she said that, the interview was really effective. It not only boosted her online support rate to a high of seven percent, but also brought Augustus dozens of endorsement deals.

Konstantin Company's "George's Shield" advertising was also revised in a very short time. Now, in any high-end arms dealership, you can see Augustus's powerful aura and his catchphrase, which has begun to circulate widely in gyms and boxing rings.

"The purity is too low."

"Sure enough, the same lines will sound different when said by different people. If an ordinary person or even an athlete says this, it will sound a bit childish, but when someone who has successfully transformed their Flesh Mecha says it, it becomes extremely impactful. Hmm, this will definitely be useful next time."

Feng Xue added a few more strokes to her "Supernatural Tale Shaping Manual," beginning to refocus her attention on her current identity.

When one person plays multiple roles, it is inevitable to get too immersed in the role. Fortunately, his internal cultivation has also made certain progress in his State of Mind. After a short period of meditation, his spirit was purified again.

Having Mental Construction herself, Feng Xue carefully adjusted her facial features in front of the mirror and changed her clothes from head to toe, ensuring that there was no overlap in her temperament or distinctive features. Only then did she leave the apartment and follow the navigation to No. 42, the No Man's Land.

"Good evening, everyone. After nearly two weeks of Ghost Encounter games, I believe that's enough to prove that there are no ghosts in this world. So today, let's go back to basics..."

[What the hell is this proof? It's because of your live stream that I started to believe in ghosts!]

[Yes, just two weeks ago, I was a materialist.]

[What kind of live stream is this? You're causing so much harm, do you even realize it?]

Seeing the ever-energetic barrage of comments, the notoriously outspoken streamer Burrlett, smiled, then passed through the passage symbolizing the "Room Door" and entered the No Man's Land.

As long-time viewers of the Live Broadcast Room, they had long been accustomed to the streamer's style. During this time, in addition to "learning" the Ghost Encounter tips taught by the streamer every day, they watched how the streamer avoided death in unexpected ways.

Sometimes they felt sorry for that White Ghost Hand, wondering how it could encounter such an incredibly tough guy.

Just as everyone was waiting for the "prelude" to end, a comment suddenly flashed by --

[Host, run! It's overhead!]

What happened to the top of my head?

Just as most viewers were confused and switched to Holographic Mode to check, a crisp sound rang out as a flowerpot landed right behind the streamer.

The anchor Burrlett, glanced at the shattered flowerpot on the ground, then looked up at the sky. After a brief silence, he suddenly burst into a tirade:

"Where did this [beep--] come from! [Asgerry swear word]! [Asgerry swear word]!"

A string of extremely vulgar and angry shouts echoed at the entrance to the No Man's Land, causing many passersby to turn their heads. However, the No Man's Land zone was all about lawlessness; as Burrlett's foul language continued, a group of burly, menacing-looking men poured out from the building that had been hit by falling debris, surrounding Burrlett.

"You little brat, swearing like that? Don't you even know whose territory this is?"

"If you want to fight, then fight! Stop talking nonsense!" Burrlett kicked the thug who was talking nonsense away, starting a 1v10 battle. This should have been a very entertaining brawl, but the audience's attention was completely elsewhere.

Because, based on the commentary from viewers who had seen the whole thing, they knew very well that the flowerpot had been pushed down by the White Ghost Hand!

In other words...

[Has that ghostly hand realized it can't kill the streamer directly, so it's started acting indirectly?]

A flurry of discussions erupted in the live chat, while Feng Xue had already begun an unrestricted fight with the thugs.

Unlike Augustus, who has a tough-guy action movie style, Burrlett's fighting style is extremely "street," and he can pick up and use almost anything he sees, such as a passing cleaning robot, a cement post stuck in the roadside, or a rain shelter above a sign.

If Augustus's fighting style was Schwarzenegger's, then Burrlett was Jackie Chan's.

However, upon closer examination, one can discover a chilling undercurrent hidden within Burrlett's battle.

This thing can actually break off concrete posts from the curb that are used to stop cars and use them as sticks!

That thing isn't just cement; it has steel bars inside! But this guy can break off two ears of corn as easily as picking corn cobs, knock down the thugs who are chasing after him, and then casually throw them away, while also picking up a speeding car to use as a brick.

The entire No. 42 No Man's Land turned into chaos in the blink of an eye, with cement posts flying everywhere, dilapidated vehicles, and scattered storefronts. In just over ten minutes, the number of people behind Feng Xue grew from a dozen to over a hundred, and from initially eating and wielding sticks to now carrying guns and cannons.

This streamer is amazing! I think he's almost on par with that Mayoral Candidate!

[What are you talking about? Look closely, there's a ghost behind this streamer!]

[Holy crap, there really is something fishy about that! That hand!]

Just as Feng Xue used a motorcycle to smash three armed thugs into the air, the Pale Ghost Hand reappeared in the audience's view. It was holding a cement post that Burrlett had broken off earlier, and while Burrlett was dodging bullets, it swung it down hard on the back of his head!

Before viewers could even type "Danger!" in the chat, just as the concrete stake was about to make intimate contact with the streamer's head, blood mixed with brain matter splattered everywhere, along with an Electronic Eye connected to the wires.

But this brain matter and blood do not belong to the streamer.

It was the thug who had originally been confronting the streamer.

Where is the streamer?

Almost as soon as the thought crossed their minds, viewers, already accustomed to watching Burrlett's live streams, instinctively pressed the split-screen replay button, and everything that had happened a few seconds earlier was replayed on the split screen.

Just as Ghost Hand swung the concrete stake, Burrlett was knocked back half a step by a thug equipped with a "Gorilla Arm" prosthetic, and then stepped on a broken Baseball Bat lying on the ground.

Like a coincidence in a comedy movie, the anchor's body suddenly fell backward, and the thug who stepped forward to chase after him was unexpectedly blown off his head by the ghost hand.

[What kind of Dog Luck is this?!]

I originally wrote a chapter about Baki's interview, but I later felt it was too melodramatic, so I deleted it... That's why this chapter is late.

Why snipers don't use fully automatic weapons...

I really can't understand why anyone would ask such a question.

First, you need to know what a sniper does; they kill high-value targets from hundreds or thousands of meters away.

At distances exceeding one kilometer, even a slight tremor of the muzzle can cause the bullet to veer off course by tens of meters. This means that sniping is impossible in full-auto mode unless you can completely eliminate recoil.

Even if you have an incredibly steady hand, if the muzzle rises by just 0.5 millimeters, your bullet could miss by tens of meters. Otherwise, why do you think snipers need spotters? Because if the scope tilts even slightly, the target will be dozens of meters away. Without a spotter to help call out the location, the sniper wouldn't even be able to find the target with the scope.

So if you set the gun to full automatic, and aside from the first shot you aim at, you can hit the target within ten meters of the target every time, then you're truly blessed.

This doesn't even take into account wind direction, wind speed, and target movement.

The protagonist firing Light Machine Gun from a thousand meters away seems Mindless Divine Power lock. How can a sniper fire in full-auto mode? Even if you give him full-auto, he'd still have to switch to single-shot aiming. At least with aiming, there's a chance of hitting; without aiming, he's completely out of luck. Understand?

Let alone the main character, even if you put a fixed target there, no sniper would dare to say that they can hit it accurately in full-auto mode.

Ultimately, that thing is just a gun, and it only fires bullets; it's not Miniature Missile loaded with some kind of Black Technology fuel.
