I have seen dragons

Chapter 40 Ruthless Brother

The light was dim in the jungle, and the time of day was unknown.

He Caihua glanced at her watch; the sports watch on her wrist had a black case and a pink interior, and its design was quite exquisite.

The female commentator asked at the opportune moment, "Having just gone through such an intense battle, He Caihua's watch is completely undamaged, still beautiful and accurate. I wonder what brand it is?"

The male commentator said with intonation, "Of course it's our Pear brand sports watch! Whether you're going to the sky or the ground, running or playing ball, the Pear won't break no matter how you exercise! If the viewers in front of the screen like the same model as He Caihua, you can get it from the link below."

The camera pans and briefly cuts to Yue Wen for two seconds.

The scene shows him instantly killing a monster with a single sword strike.

Once out of the battle, the director stopped focusing on him and switched the camera to Li Feixia, who had discovered a treasure chest in a corner.

The two commentators immediately perked up again, with the female commentator exclaiming, "Is this the first explorer to find the treasure chest? Feixia really has the luck of a koi fish!"

The male commentator chuckled, "Whether it's lucky or unlucky, we'll only know after she opens the treasure chest. She opened it, and inside was..."

As Li Feixia opened the box, the two commentators exclaimed in unison, "Wow, it's actually a pair of platform sandals!"

"Feixia looks confused," the female commentator laughed. "But I think these height-increasing shoes are really pretty and suit me perfectly."

"These are height-increasing shoes from the Jiuli family; of course, everyone likes them at first sight," the male commentator added. "If viewers feel the same way, they can click the link below..."

After the commercial ended, the camera switched to Yue Wen, who was drawing his sword.

laugh--

With a single sword technique, he slew another three-headed serpent that lunged at him amidst a stench of blood.

"Yue Wen has once again killed a demon beast with a single sword strike!"

After the killing, Yue Wen continued to walk slowly forward without making any unnecessary movements, and the camera switched to other people.

"Su Renxue also found a treasure chest. Will she be the lucky one this time?" the male commentator said.

"Oh dear, it's a pity her treasure chest isn't real either," the female interpreter said. "Inside is a pastry that looks delicious."

"Hey, we don't need to say more about the quality of Xiangdaoguan's pastries, right? Three hundred years old, a time-honored brand!" The male narrator said it again, "Viewers who want to try them, click the link below. Remember, for pastries, go to Xiangdaoguan!"

The scene shifts, and the female commentator exclaims, "Yue Wen has once again killed a monster with a single sword strike!"

After the sword strike, Yue Wen disappeared from the camera's view again.

"Liu Yuanjun actually found the treasure chest hidden high in the mountains! His eyesight is so sharp!" the female interpreter exclaimed.

"This must be the spiritual power of Xuanfeng Temple's top disciple, right? What treasures will we find in this box?" The male commentator paused, then suddenly exclaimed, "Wow—"

Liu Yuanjun found a treasure chest hanging below a protruding rock on a low cliff. He leaped up and opened the chest.

A tiny crimson flying squirrel suddenly popped out of the box, its body transforming into a streak of blood-red light as it shot towards him like lightning!

Everyone who witnessed this scene gasped in astonishment.

Especially before he opened the box, it seemed that the bee and insect had anticipated this scene and directly adjusted the camera to his chest, giving a first-person perspective of the opening.

Although these blood-light rats are small in size, they are renowned in the wasteland because their small bodies contain great power. They can transform into a beam of blood light and pierce directly into the bodies of those huge monsters, devouring their flesh and blood.

Monsters invaded by the Blood Electric Rat often die several days later, their lives drying up in endless pain.

Anyone would be worried for Liu Yuanjun if he were to produce something like this without any preparation!
Yet he remained calm, his eyes gleaming without a ripple. The blood-red light struck an invisible barrier a foot in front of him, creating a clang that sent ripples of spiritual energy through the air.

The rat, bounced back, seemed slightly panicked and wanted to turn around and flee. But Liu Yuanjun didn't give it that chance. With a flick of his two fingers, six barriers appeared in the void, forming a box-shaped restriction. The rat was trapped inside the restriction and became a caged beast.

Liu Yuanjun reached out and pressed down again, whoosh—

The entire invisible barrier, along with the demonic rats within it, vanished into thin air, as if evaporated.

"What a mysterious technique! Could this be the legendary secret art of Xuanfeng Temple, Qiankun Zhi?" the male commentator exclaimed.

"That's the most powerful technique of Xuanfeng Temple, said to require decades of arduous practice to comprehend." The female guide was also shocked. "How old is Liu Yuanjun?"

"Ah, while we were still marveling at Liu Yuanjun's secret technique, Yue Wen instantly killed another demon beast." The male commentator secretly interjected.

"Hmm?" The female commentator suddenly frowned.

"Ji Yang's Shadow Profound Divine Ability! He used his agile escape techniques to pass through an extremely narrow crevice in the rocks! And found a treasure chest, how amazing!"

"Yue Wen has killed another monster in an instant!"

"Starry Night Heroine found... a tree branch and went to sleep? It's only just gotten dark and she's already sleeping? That's quite a... regular schedule."

"Yue Wen has killed another monster in an instant!"

"He Caihua has opened another treasure chest. Let's see what's inside!"

"Yue Wen has killed another monster in an instant!"

"Wait a minute," the female commentator finally couldn't help but say, "Haven't we said that many times already?!"

……

It was already evening, but the explorers hadn't done much.

If you look at each person's movement individually during this live stream, you'll see that they mostly moved slowly forward, only occasionally doing something.

After all, their main task is to find treasure chests, and monsters are just obstacles on their way. So they all focus their energy on searching, and sometimes they even avoid fighting in order to find treasure chests, which can make the scene a bit boring after a while. The main stream prioritizes showing the people who are active.

The director will switch the camera to when someone is opening a treasure chest or fighting, and when nothing is happening, he will mainly focus on the popular cultivators He Caihua, Liu Yuanjun, and Li Feixia.

But gradually they also realized that something was wrong.

The director said not to give Yue Wen any screen time except for battle scenes, but that rogue cultivator seems to have just as many screen time as the others.

Why is he always fighting?

He never stopped!
"This guy..." the director scratched his head, "He's bad at finding treasure chests, but he's really good at finding monsters."

……

If Yue Wen heard this, he might silently say, "Nonsense, of course it's accurate."

He used a demon-revealing mirror and a spirit-detecting needle to first go to the area with dense demonic energy, and then follow the guidance of the spirit-detecting needle to fight his way there. It would be strange if he didn't find it accurately.

To avoid making his true colors too obvious, he slowed his pace, pretending to be searching for a treasure chest and encountering monsters during his slow exploration. If he didn't need to act, he would have just swaggered in and slaughtered his way through the entire park in no time.

"Such a good thing actually exists in the world..."

Yue Wen sighed inwardly, realizing that he had long forgotten about the task of finding the treasure chest.

What treasure chest?
No matter how valuable the treasures hidden inside are, they can still be bought on the market, and they certainly can't compare to the secret treasures I got from Da Long.

From the beginning until now, he has been clearing his way with his sword technique, killing over a dozen demonic beasts. Even considering the varying strengths of those beasts, they still add up to over a hundred spirit-suppressing coins.

What is the concept?
It's only been half a day. If he works harder, he might not only be able to finish the loan for the True Dragon Daoist Gang Realm chapter in these three days, but he might even be able to finish the Phase Realm chapter of the fifth realm!
It's true what they say: "A man can't get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can't get fat without night grazing."

Even if he were to actually go to the wasteland in the future, he wouldn't be able to suppress evil spirits so easily. Because some demons and evil spirits in the wasteland are truly powerful, he would have to proceed with caution.

But the monsters here have all been screened, so there's no need to worry about provoking any big guys. They're all bloodthirsty, so there's no need to worry about killing any good monsters.

It's so refreshing!

If only the people at Forget-Worry Media did nothing but pick out monsters to generate monster-suppressing money for him, that would be great. Unfortunately, he was struggling to even buy materials, so how could he afford to hire so many people? It was just a dream.

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a burrowing crocodile emerged from beneath the earthen slope ahead, opening its massive jaws to bite Yue Wen. Judging by its layers of sword-like teeth, if it were to bite down hard, even an iron man would be crushed to dust in an instant.

But Yue Wen had already taken precautions against this, and his flying sword went and came back in an instant.

Pfft!
The burrowing crocodile fell back into the dust, blood gushing from its forehead, which was now pierced through.

Yue Wen glanced furtively at the spirit-detecting needle and continued towards the next target. Of course, he still pretended to look around and scratch his head, saying, "No treasure chest yet."

As the first night approached, more and more people in the live chat noticed that something was wrong.

Why did this rogue cultivator start killing demonic beasts without saying a word?

[Yes, one sword, one kill. He's ruthless!]

[It seems like he has some deep-seated grudge against monsters. He's the only one who hasn't found the treasure chest yet, and he must have run into dozens of monsters by now! It's almost like he's deliberately looking for them! Hahaha...]

Haha, he's talented and handsome, but a bit unlucky. I almost feel sorry for him.

[If this ruthless guy keeps killing like this, the surrounding monsters probably won't dare to show their faces, right?]

Can this place really compare to the wasteland? It feels more like his hunting ground.

[Forget about treasure chests, he just hates monsters!]

[Haha, not a single treasure chest found? So tragic! I love him, I'm going to farm UFOs for him!]

【…】

"Director, Yue Wen's popularity is soaring." The staff member kept a close eye on the data and submitted a report. "His personal live stream traffic is almost surpassing Liu Yuanjun's, and the number of gifts he receives is also increasing. Viewers call him Ruthless Brother, saying that he does nothing but kill monsters, which is quite funny to watch."

"He actually turned it into a meme." The director shook his head with a smile.

In the internet age, as long as you create a meme, you can make a fortune from it. Regardless of how long it lasts, three days is certainly enough for this live stream.

It's hard to say whether his luck is good or bad.

The director knew where all the real and fake treasure chests were buried. Yue Wen had passed at least four treasure chests along the way, one of which was even real, but he hadn't found any of them. Instead, he ran into all the monsters along the way.

That's just incredibly unlucky.

But this actually made the audience find it hilarious.

"Since the audience likes him, let's give him more screen time in the main live stream." The director changed his previous order, "Put a few promotional chests along his path... in a prominent place, since his eyesight isn't very good."

"But there's one more thing, Director." Another staff member came up.

The director turned to look at him. "What's wrong?"

The staff member looked troubled. "It seems we haven't released enough monsters."

The director was shocked, "So fast?!"

　Good morning.
