Standing atop the Garbage Mountain, Dunn, suppressing the Gambling Ghost with an indescribable fighting style, wielded a wind dragon whipped up by his Electric Fan, tightly binding the Gambling Ghost. The scene was as imposing as Nezha using his Hunyuan Silk to ensnare the Dragon King's third Nezha— utterly awe-inspiring!

If the underpants were replaced with a red bellyband, the resemblance would likely be even greater.

The viewers in the Live Broadcast Room exclaimed that it was unbelievable, while Dunn, sensing the Trait of the hashtag igniting, smiled slightly and said:

"This thing is so big, Preservative Film won't work anymore. To grab it, you'll need this! Ta-da!"

Imitating the sound of Doraemon pulling out magical gadgets, Feng Xue reached into her crotch and pulled out a car vacuum cleaner, speaking in a sales pitch-like tone:

"The Tolom brand shrink-wrapping vacuum cleaner uses shrink-wrapping technology to seal the sucked-up dust with its built-in shrink-wrapping device, making it cleaner and more hygienic than traditional vacuum cleaners. Although it's not as economical and practical as just using Preservative Film, it works quite well for dealing with these large, strange things!"

[Advertisement, another advertisement!]

[How much did Trom give you? I, the Gluttonous King, will give you three times that!]

[It's here! The Doubling Monster!]

[Something's appeared! A monster has appeared!]

Despite the commotion in the comments section, Dunn, who could already sense the fire burning within him, didn't hesitate. He pressed the top of the vacuum cleaner against the head of the dice at his feet, and with a loud whirring sound, the Gambling Ghost, like a villain from an American cartoon, crawled into the car vacuum cleaner, which was only the length of a forearm, in an extremely comical way.

The ghost's rapid disappearance left Dunn without any support, and the once futuristic wind dragon dissipated into chaotic wind, causing him to plummet from the sky in an exaggerated manner.

"Bang!"

The dull thud was accompanied by the sound of a large freezer being smashed and deeply dented, while the streamer, who had been thrown dozens of meters without a scratch, now stood up with a bloody head.

He sat on the freezer looking like he'd been seriously injured, put the vacuum cleaner aside, grabbed his dangling right hand and twisted it hard. With a sound that looked painful, it seemed like his arm had been reattached.

He then moved his body slightly. It was a simple movement, but the smooth muscle lines on his body conveyed a powerful sense of explosive force. Although he didn't say anything, for some reason, it gave people the feeling that "this guy is using his muscles to push his displaced internal organs back into place."

Only after finishing these tasks did Dunn suddenly cough up a mouthful of blood, then turned his gaze to the nearest Live Broadcast Drone, and coughed lightly, saying:

"Ahem, everyone, learn from this lesson: never stand on a ghost when you're trying to catch it! Ultimately, imagination and willpower are all forces against ghosts. When you see a wind dragon locking a ghost, it's not because Electric Fan can actually blow out a dragon, but because our belief in the power of wind has influenced the ghost, causing it to transform the wind into a wind dragon. So once the ghost is captured, everything generated by the ghost becomes ineffective."

[Damn, does that mean in the future, when making movies, we can just grab a ghost and put it next to the action, and we won't need special effects?]

[Could you put a ghost outside the mine and the ore just grow legs and run out?]

[And then came the era of great ghost hunting? The 22nd century is the century of ghost hunting studies?]

[And then there will be a Ghost Academy? Everyone will be born with a ghost?]

[Are there instruments that measure willpower and imagination, and how much power a ghost can unleash determines a person's potential?]

[Demon Power, Stage Three! Don't underestimate a young man's potential!]

[Who exactly are you? How can you command a demon at the Strong Observer Realm, a level above your own?]

[Damn, the imagery is overflowing!]

Looking at the barrage of comments appearing before him, not to mention the audience, even Dunn felt the imagery was overflowing. As the Konstantin Company's aircraft appeared at the edge of his field of vision, he took a deep breath, pretended to be seriously injured, turned on the vacuum cleaner, and took out a fist-sized, square plastic box. He could vaguely see the strangely colored, murky substance inside.

In his field of vision, he could even see a slowly burning flame, labeled with Tag such as [ghost], [gambling], and [life extension].

"Alright, that's all for today's live stream. But given the current state of the streamer, it'll probably be a while before he needs to rest. See you all again sometime!"

Waving the plastic-sealed box in his hand, Dunn decisively cut off the live stream. Watching Sai Chi disembark from the aircraft, he casually tossed the plastic-sealed box to him.

"Mr. Dunn, would you like us to arrange medical services for you?" Sai Chi asked with Dim Sum as he looked at Feng Xue, whose head was bleeding profusely. He, or rather the entire Mystery Financial Group and even all the companies that valued ghosts, did not want anything to happen to this person. At least, before they figured out what ghosts really were, this person had better stay alive.

"No need, it's just a minor injury..." Dunn shook his head, licked his fingers, and said, "A little saliva will do the trick."

"What the heck? This looks like..." Sai Chi's words were cut off before he could finish, because he saw that the wound in front of him was actually healing rapidly after being smeared with saliva.

Having utilized the [Iron-Blooded Tough Guy] healing mechanism, Dunn obviously wouldn't explain it to him. He simply walked past the Sai Chi to the aircraft's boarding gate and said indifferently:

"Let's go, it's time to go back!"

"Ah, oh!"

Seemingly realizing that this was either some kind of therapeutic prosthetic or simply the other party's skillful application of demonic abilities, Sai Chi didn't ask further, but secretly memorized this detail, intending to report it to his superiors later. Meanwhile, Dunn sat in his seat, looking down at the newly formed Trait—
