Dunn's serious, earnest expression as he sprayed the so-called weed killer on the ghost produced a comedic effect that far surpassed the exaggerated and grotesque facial expressions.

The feeling was like a man who looked every bit the chainsaw killer wielding a huge saw blade covered in a thick, scarlet liquid, hacking wildly, with red juice splattering everywhere, but you knew perfectly well that he was making ketchup.

As a result, any new viewer who enters the Live Broadcast Room because of its high popularity will inevitably have the immediate impression that "this streamer must have some serious illness."

But after looking at the footage, videos, or learning what actually happened, people's perception changed to "a ghost that can be chased and sprayed with herbicide must have some serious illness."

However, Dunn obviously didn't care what the audience was thinking at this moment. He picked up the metal pipe and chased after the Gambling Ghost who had turned into a tumbleweed, spraying him all the way.

While spraying, he also said to the audience:

"Although it seems that the weed killer can control this guy, the client's mission is to capture it alive, not kill it, so the streamer has to find a way to catch this thing. However, as you can see, this thing is too big to be held by ordinary Preservative Film. Fortunately, the streamer has already confirmed the distribution of the surrounding garbage when he made a tactical retreat. Now the task is to drive this ghost to 'that place'."

[What tactical retreat? You were clearly sent flying!]

[That's right, I can testify, I saw it with my own eyes! You were even made to bray like a donkey!]

Yes, yes, I was there!

[Something's strange here!]

[How can Holographic Mode not be considered a live performance?]

Just as Dunn was chatting enthusiastically with the viewers in the live chat, he suddenly stopped, then vigorously shook the metal tube in his hand, and a strange sense of embarrassment began to creep in.

Although there was no commentary, all the audience members gleaned one thing from his exaggerated, comical, and hilarious actions—

Herbicide sprayed!

The Gambling Ghost, who had been running away with his head in his hands, subconsciously took two steps forward, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. The branch that had been rolling like a tumbleweed suddenly came to a screeching halt, and the head of the dice with twenty-one eyes of different sizes suddenly turned around. Although it had nothing that could be called an expression, the audience seemed to see a sinister grin that was gradually becoming distorted.

It's probably the same expression Tom makes when Jerry is chasing him with something, only to find that the thing is broken.

Seeing the Gambling Ghost turn to look at him, Dunn awkwardly tossed the weed killer aside, put his hands behind his back, smiled shyly, and then, amidst the encircling branches from all sides, uttered a simple, clear monosyllabic sound—

"Grass!"

Thus, without any warning, the roles of offense and defense were instantly reversed.

Thorny branches kept lashing at Dunn, but Dunn covered his head and ran forward with all his might, grabbing whatever he could find along the way and throwing it at the Gambling Ghost behind him.

Even so, he could only avoid the main branches that looked menacing, while he could never avoid the slightly smaller branches.

Cracks spread across the earth, their invincible power seemingly telling all viewers that this was definitely not some harmless, playful lashing. But when those branches, capable of slicing through even high-strength concrete like tofu, struck the anchor, the attacks, leaving not even a red mark but only a tear in his overcoat, only reinforced the viewers' belief in the anchor's value system: "As long as you're not afraid, you're invulnerable."

Then, the Gambling Ghost got smarter.

The twelve main branches, each as thick as a bowl, swung almost simultaneously, but instead of attacking the running Dunn, they swept away the surrounding "garbage" like a gambler going all in. Seeing the props scattered everywhere like a shower of flowers, Dunn, who reached out and grabbed nothing, smiled awkwardly and then flew out of the air.

This time, however, the streamer who was thrown into the air didn't bray like before. Instead, captured by a drone that was nearly hit by a hail of trash, he let out a boastful roar:

"You've been tricked! Gambling Ghost! This is my escape route!"

In this world without JoJo, the audience might not understand the jokes the streamer is using, but they certainly understand that this streamer is incredibly stubborn—you even got your clothes ripped off, okay?!

The naked news anchor, Dunn, traced an ungraceful arc through the air before crashing into a distant Garbage Mountain amidst maniacal laughter. Amidst the clanging of metal and flying debris, the audience became aware of the nature of the trash there.

Home appliances.

"Haha, haha, hahahahahaha..."

Amidst the classic three-part laughter, anchor Dunn emerged from the smoke. He resembled Lu Bu wielding his halberd, holding a standing Electric Fan that was at least 1.5 meters long in one hand, with the fan head pointing diagonally at the ground. In his left hand, he held a small car vacuum cleaner tucked into his crotch. Combined with his outfit consisting of only a pair of underwear, the scene was extremely Meme.

However, the Gambling Ghost who followed clearly couldn't understand the humor of this style of story like the viewers in the Live Broadcast Room. He picked up a refrigerator, intending to use it as a heavy hammer to give Dunn a little materialistic shock.

However, Dunn, as if he had drunk the poisonous blood of Joseph Joestar, let out a maniacal laugh and reached out to press the button on the fan.

Thanks to the unique technology of the Cyber World, the standing Electric Fan with a built-in battery was immediately installed. The whooshing sound of the wind became even more exaggerated as Dunn swung it like a long-handled weapon, and gusts of turbulence swept up the gravel and dust on the ground.

Although the art style was extremely comical, viewers gradually noticed something was wrong, because beneath this comical scene, the wind speed had exceeded the power output of Electric Fan.

The branches of the Gambling Ghost's tree creaked in the wind, and the refrigerator that had been swung down was lifted up by the gale. Dunn took two more steps forward and, with a forceful push of his arms, slammed the Electric Fan to the ground. The D24 steel fan casing cracked open, and the ordinary Electric Fan was transformed into a terrifying and grotesque circular saw!

The buzzing rotation and the violent wind, along with the swirling dust and gravel, formed a wind belt that was almost visible to the naked eye. At this moment, Dunn was like the person at the forefront of a Dragon Ball, leading that wind belt that seemed impossible to understand, tearing off branches from the Gambling Ghost.

Why do I find this naked guy handsome?

My sense of aesthetics is off!

[Holy crap! My son's gone crazy with the Electric Fan in his hand!]

[Don't even mention your son, when I realized what was happening, I was also carrying Electric Fan...]

I imagined it in my head... the protagonist Dunn's disguise is a bit too rock and roll... um, hopefully no one will try to imitate it by carrying around their electric fan...

P. S.: There's more to come.
