Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 181: Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger

Chen Baiyu stood still.

My gaze seemed to pierce through the bustling crowds and concrete dome of the train station, landing in the direction where that slender figure, long since out of sight, had disappeared.

The evening breeze, carrying the city's unique dust and the aroma of food wafting from afar, swept by, but it couldn't dispel the subtle ripples in his thoughts.

Feelings are a very interesting thing.

Joy may conceal the fear of loss, and sorrow may harbor the power of rebirth.

Humans can feel both love and hate for someone at the same moment, and experience both pain and relief when saying goodbye.

This contradiction is not a mistake.

Rather, it is the most authentic form of emotion.

Human emotions are contradictory, and at the same time, they are irrational.

From a purely rational perspective, emotions seem to be inefficient.

Love can blind you, fear can hinder you from trying, and grief can drain your energy.

The constantly evolving Chen Baiyu, theoretically speaking, should gradually abandon the contradictory and useless existence of emotions, and slowly become a cold and ruthless god in the eyes of ordinary people.

But that's not the case.

As he watched the innocent and lively girl leave, a flicker of emotion crossed his seemingly calm expression.

This emotion isn't exactly liking, but it's definitely a positive emotion to some extent.

After all, even when a female fan has eyes for you, she knows how to maintain boundaries and know when to advance and retreat. It's hard for you to dislike someone like that.

Not only that, he used to feel happy when girls praised him.

This actually illustrates one thing:

His upgrade and evolution process does not seem to be changing towards the point of being ruthless and indifferent to emotions.

This discovery made Chen Baiyu stop and ponder deeply.

In other words.

His own emotional mechanisms were not abandoned, but for the sake of evolution and survival, emotions themselves became less conspicuous and prominent, and were instead hidden behind rationality as an auxiliary mechanism.

This is actually normal.

Completely rejecting emotions is a mindless approach.

In the course of evolution, the mechanism of emotion itself has become necessary.

Emotions of love and attachment motivate humans to protect their offspring and form communities; the benefits of this cooperation far outweigh the "rational calculations" of a lone wolf.

Fear and disgust can prompt humans to quickly avoid danger, which is more efficient than making a decision after calm analysis.

Sadness and guilt are the glue that holds social relationships together, repairing rifts and strengthening group bonds.

The existence of emotions is not an absolute burden on survival; in general, it is necessary for existence.

In fact, emotions are like a "rapid response system" pre-installed in evolution, which uses emotional intuition to compress the lengthy process of rational analysis.

Even after Chen Baiyu evolved and became stronger, his body still used this same mechanism.

In his thoughts and judgments.

They believe this should be considered a good thing.

His current transformation appears more like a hardware upgrade and software optimization of this original and powerful "pre-installed system".

This enables it to operate accurately in higher-energy and more complex environments, providing richer and more profound assistance for his rational decision-making.

It no longer steals the show.

Instead, it was deeply integrated with rationality and became an integral part of his powerful willpower.

This is certainly a good thing.

Chen Baiyu still didn't want to suddenly lose all human emotions one day while leveling up.

【drop! 】

A cold, impersonal system notification sounded at the opportune moment.

Like a point of light cast into a deep ocean of thoughts.
It broke Chen Baiyu's reverie at just the right moment.

[The mission "Improvisational Concerto: A Magnificent Chapter of Order in Disorder" has been completed!]

[Task Evaluation: Your fingertips have imbued the chaotic waves of music theory with initial order, and the primordial joy of chaos has been imbued with the radiance of all things! A brilliant example of resonance and guidance to order!]

[Task Reward: 400 Experience Points Issued!]

[Title [Scholar] activated! Bonus experience points: 80 (20% bonus this time)!]

Total experience points gained: 480!

[Experience points: 324/900 → 804/900!]

"It's a good thing that there are still feelings..."

"At least now that I've gained so much experience and am just one step away from leveling up, I can really feel happy and joyful."

Chen Baiyu lowered her head and murmured.

The slender fingers lightly pressed down in the air, as if one could still feel the touch of the piano keys and the spontaneous, harmonious rhythm.

While thinking.

He turned and walked steadily into the city night.

His eyes were deep and calm.

Well, with a deeper understanding of the contradictory unity of evolution and emotion, and a stronger confidence in controlling them.

····························
It was already 8 p.m. when I got home.

Chen Baiyu plans to start a game livestream to avoid wasting the popularity she has built up.

But before that.

He first imported the video Lin Wei filmed of him playing the piano into his computer, then added some special effects and did some simple editing, while also blurring the faces of some passersby who appeared in the video.

Because Lin Wei is very good at filming, this video is pretty good even without editing. Even if it is edited, it won't take long; just some simple and rough adjustments will suffice.

After I finish processing this video.

He then opened the [Ultimate Creature] account and uploaded the video he had carefully edited that afternoon, which was intended to be used for promotional purposes with Director Hong Lingfeng and was titled "The Wizard of Eldrin". He also tagged the official account of the production team that Director Hong Lingfeng had told him when he posted it on various platforms.

He then named the edited piano video "Enjoy the Music, Everyone!" and uploaded it to the account of "Ultimate Life".

This time.

The content of the 【Ultimate Creature】 account suddenly became much richer.

Acrobatics, marathons, archery, acting, playing the piano...

The videos cover an extremely wide range of topics, and except for the last one featuring piano playing, each video tags the official account and provides unedited original footage as proof that it is not scripted.

It gives one the feeling of being well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education, and proficient in all six arts of a gentleman.

Almost immediately after the video was posted.

A flood of comments then appeared.

At first, they were just checking in, clocking in, and posting on the sofa.

But soon, all those comments turned into a screen full of question marks.

Chen Baiyu watched this scene with satisfaction.

He knew that his account, "Ultimate Creature," was likely to go viral.

The videos have always been of high production quality, with extremely exaggerated and eye-catching content. They have been steadily improving rather than suddenly becoming popular. They just need the right opportunity and the right trend.

Unlike accounts like "Little Tadpole Elbow Mom," which can hype themselves up and ride the wave of popularity within a small circle to achieve rapid growth, this account is different.

But now.

With a sufficient accumulation of high-quality fans, it's about time for them to take off.

only.

It will still take a few more days to prepare.

After some thought, Chen Baiyu closed the account.

After tidying up the equipment and room a bit, I started today's game live stream on the [Little Tadpole Elbows Mom] account.

There was no activity in the first minute after the broadcast started.

Chen Baiyu simply logged in and opened Steam and the 5e gaming platform.

But when he started clicking match...

The number of viewers in the live stream seemed to be expanding rapidly, quickly reaching over ten thousand.

This level of appeal is completely unlike what one would expect from a streamer who has only just started broadcasting for the second time, and who wasted a lot of popularity several days after their first broadcast.

But upon closer examination, it makes sense.

After the Perfect World gaming platform's kneeling apology, and his own terrifying performance on his first official broadcast, which was not due to editing but rather his own ridiculously exaggerated skills during the live stream.

The number of various video clips featuring him increased exponentially, and the popularity of his account also exploded.

He is known not only in the CS community but also in the entire FPS gaming community and many other fields.

Therefore, even if it's just the second time streaming after a period of time, it can still show data that is close to that of some big streamers who have been popular for a long time.

Just as the warm-up officially ended and the game began.

The screen was completely filled with comments:
[Grave visit... wait? It's a zombie!!!]

Grandpa, the streamer you followed has been revived!

So, you finally remembered your account password?

A barrage of various comments kept coming.

While controlling her game character, Chen Baiyu also had time to divert her attention, not completely focusing on the intense firefight on the screen.

He glanced at the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments. Occasionally, he would interact with the audience.

At other times, as if taking a leisurely stroll, he manipulates the character on screen to make an extreme pull, and the Desert Eagle's crosshair stops steadily the moment the enemy's helmet appears.

Then, with a crisp bang, another headshot icon popped up in the upper right corner, as clean and efficient as shooting a bot in the training ground.

soon.

Without saying much, the game came to an end.

As the last enemy was taken down by his incredible blind shot through the smoke, the victory announcement echoed throughout the live stream.

Chen Baiyu then lazily leaned back in his gaming chair and quietly looked at the ridiculously high KD ratio and score on the results panel.

And the live stream was flooded with gift effects and a barrage of "666" comments.

Ok?
wrong?

Exploding gift effect?
Although there were quite a few gifts last time, most of them were just people who didn't have the money to support the event and were simply chatting in the comments.

What happened this time?

Chen Baiyu took a closer look and saw that some wealthy guys had spent several thousand yuan on gifts without batting an eye, and then sent comments in a font that became particularly eye-catching after the donation:

[Hey streamer, I want to see you play Operation Eight Treasure Porridge! Can I scan the QR code and use my account to rampage through the black room?]

This comment from the rich guys accompanied the barrage of comments.

A bunch of comments immediately popped up below.

Yes, yes, I want to see triangular baskets!

[Hurry up and ride the wave, streamer! Which CS, Valorant, or Apex Legends streamer doesn't play Delta Force these days? The entire FPS scene is practically overrun by Delta Force.]

Headgear, armor, gun, chest strap, backpack, flowers! When longing flies across the night sky~

[Just got kicked to death like a stray dog ​​on the street, and now it's famous.]

Most people were just echoing this rich guy's wishes, wanting to see him pull off that "Eight Treasure Porridge" operation.

Operation Eight Treasures Porridge, officially known as Operation Delta Force, is a game released by Tencent that combines search, attack, and withdrawal gameplay with large-scale battlefield gameplay.

The most popular one is the "search, attack, and retreat" gameplay, which is also known as the "Beacon Fire Zone" or "Treasure Hunting Mode".

In the game, you will be part of a 3-person squad, entering the battlefield to scavenge high-value resources, and planning a route to successfully escape under the siege of enemy players and AI.

The whole process is full of variables.

If the operation fails, all supplies not placed in the safe box will be lost, creating a tense atmosphere.

This game is incredibly popular right now.

Within just one year, it reached 30 million registered users, and its daily active users in internet cafes reached an astonishing level, ranking among the top three PC games.

It can be said to be a phenomenal game.

Before obtaining the system, Chen Baiyu had played it from time to time.

However, he was a veteran player from the first and second seasons. After accumulating 600 million HAF coins in assets, he experienced some withdrawal symptoms due to playing too aggressively.

So I only played it occasionally in the following seasons.

Now that the wealthy and most viewers want to see him play that phenomenal game.

It's not that he can't get it done.

I haven't uninstalled Delta Force from my computer yet.

Besides, with Operation Delta Force being so popular right now, why not take advantage of it?

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu verbally agreed to the rich guys' request and then went to open Operation Delta Force.

"Triangle basket, start!"

As Chen Baiyu said this, he opened the game.

Then I privately messaged the top donor who gave me the tip and sent him the login code so he could scan it to log in.

He quickly logged into the rich guys' accounts.

He has assets worth over a billion HAF coins, and the rich guys mean he can spend them as he pleases. He also has hundreds of AWM bullets in his warehouse that can't be bought with HAF coins.

Obviously.

People who are not short of money in real life are also likely to be not short of money in games.

However, their record wasn't that impressive.

At first glance, the entire page was filled with reports of failed evacuations.

As the rich guy account owner said, this account had been feeding too much by following the escorts, and was directly locked into a black room where there were only escorts and cheaters.

Chen Baiyu was naturally not afraid at all.

As long as you don't use any brute-force cheats like forced locks, he's confident that anyone is just another face in the road to him.

While thinking.

He equipped himself with a fully modified M14 worth millions and an AWM as his secondary weapon, and then started matchmaking wearing the level 6 armor that the rich guy's account owner didn't care about!
Top-secret aerospace map, single-player squad of three!
We are about to land. Let's reaffirm our operational objectives and remember the upcoming arrangements.

Remember, engage, search, and retreat once you've secured the objective!

As the in-game voiceover played, Chen Baiyu, having officially entered the game, found herself spawned at the respawn point in the central control building.

Based on his past gaming experience, he didn't hesitate to set up the second employee passage for a few seconds to confirm that the person at the respawn point had already used smoke and left.

Without hesitation, they crossed the point via the zipline.

Eating was out of the question. Relying on his immense strength and confidence, he unhesitatingly chose to launch a fierce attack straight at the core area.

Unfortunately, ideals are often grand but impractical.

Reality is skinny.

Solo squad mode is inherently limited, and this is a game with such a short time-to-kill (TTK) that if you're ambushed, you'll be instantly killed without even having time to react.

He was then ambushed by someone who fired a shot beforehand.

He died before he could fight back.

The live stream room fell silent.

[Standard ending!]

Are livestreamers now just another face in the street?

[The Black Room Bureau is something else. Was that Dragon guy just firing preemptively?]

[Hey host, watch the elimination replay!]

Recalling that the guy was wearing a trash helmet like the Iron Wall Helmet, which sacrificed hearing for defense, Chen Baiyu felt that something was definitely wrong.

He chose to click on the elimination replay to take a look.

immediately.

Then he saw the guy who killed him, directly controlling the game character punctuation from a distance, pointing a Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger at him through the wall.

hiss……

Is it Information Point Dragon?

interesting.

Chen Baiyu couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Dragon is one of the available assault operators in the game. While she is more mobile, she does not have the reconnaissance capabilities of information-based operators.

Theoretically, it's impossible to know where he's hiding just by looking through a wall.

However, if someone is using cheats, that's a different story.

Now it's truly like a roadside animal that got kicked to death.

Chen Baiyu stared at the bright red words "Evacuation Failed" on the screen, and at the bizarre operation in the elimination replay where Wei Long precisely locked onto her position through the wall.

His lips twitched, and he stubbornly retorted with a few words.

I'm going to open the teammate matchmaking and start another game to test the waters.

If it's not a solo team in a three-player squad, but rather a team with enough teammates to fill the information gap and enough teammates to act as decoys to draw fire, then even some low-stat cheaters should be able to win.

Think so.

He was just about to click "Start Matching" when he was about to start the matchmaking process.

Then a system beep sounded.

[A highly distorted fluctuation of the power of rules has been detected! The 'Cheater's Tainted Mana' and 'Escort's Soul Pact' that desecrate the realm of fairness are converging!]

[Core operational logic determines: This 'chaotic and corrupted field' has severely interfered with the pure operation of the 'Fair Play Realm', threatening the Holy Light of 'Pure Skills'!]

As the embodiment of order, the arbiter of all things, the venerable [Returner of All Laws]! You have been chosen by destiny to become the cleanser of this corrupt land!

[Emergency Purification Quest Triggered: Judgment Scythe - The Final Purification of Chaos and Corruption]

[Mission Background]: Deep within the Trial Grounds known as the 'Delta Sanctum,' a horde of 'Cheaters' who steal the 'Game Mechanics' and 'Paid Escorts' who willingly become slaves, sacrificing their souls for 'Escorted Wins', are desecrating this sacred arena with their filth! Their existence is a disgrace to skill itself, the ultimate blasphemy against all 'Legitimate Players'!

[Mission Objective: In the next Trial of the Three Sanctums, ensure that all Abyssal Worms and Corrupted Minions on the map are completely purified! Leave no one alive!]

【Quest Rewards: 300 Experience Points, Special Equipment [Hero's Gift] (Effect Unknown)】

hiss……

It was the system's usual cringeworthy remarks.

I didn't understand it at first glance.

But a closer look makes it clear.

The system's new task was to give him a map-clearing challenge, which required him to kill all the cheaters and escorts on the map.
