Chapter 41 Drug Launch and Resurgence in Popularity
Liao Yunkai stared at the resurrection prompt on the screen, hesitating to click it. He seemed calm when facing the tyrant, but only he knew how terrified he was.
Fear drove him to give up resistance, and even now his hands still tremble. When facing the tyrant, he recalled the first time he saw a tank in that oil field.
It was during that incident that his leg was blown off by a tank shell, and he developed severe PTSD after the war. He later played Battlefield to confront his fears.
He thought he had overcome PTSD by destroying tanks time and time again in the game, but when he faced the Tyrant and saw that the bullets fired by his gun had no effect, he recalled the fear of that day and the feeling of helplessness.
The chat next to him was still flooded with comments discussing Tyrant and G William, and only then did he realize that he was still streaming.
He began to take deep breaths to suppress the instinctive trembling in his body, and only after the trembling stopped did he speak.
"Let's try again. Mitten won't let us get stuck here. If it's really designed to be an impossible level, then it's a design flaw, and I will lead everyone in boycotting this game."
Liao Yunkai did not choose to end the broadcast in disgrace like Captain Ao, but instead decided to face his fears and then pressed the revival button without hesitation.
The comments on the screen were also scrolling by, but they were all trying to persuade Liao Yunkai.
"Brother Kai, take a break. Your hands were shaking just now! The Tyrant's oppressive aura was really too strong. My legs went weak just looking at it on screen, let alone you fighting it head-on in there. It's really understandable that you need a rest!"
"Brother Kai, please don't follow Captain Ao's example and end up in the hospital too. We don't want to see another streamer walk out lying in a ditch. We'd rather you stop here today and we'll wait for you to come back tomorrow."
"Brother Kai, don't push yourself too hard. If you really can't take it, you can fight again tomorrow. You've been streaming for twelve hours straight. Anyone would have to go through that, let alone a battle of this intensity. Nobody will blame you."
"To be honest, my heart rate jumped to 120 when I watched the scene where the tyrant appeared. Kai, you are really brave."
Liao Yunkai didn't look at the comments; he had already returned to the location where the secret passage was about to lead to the pipe area.
He didn't go in immediately, but instead checked his equipment inventory.
Thirty-five bullets for a pistol, twelve bullets for a shotgun, five bullets for a Lightning Hawk, a tactical knife, two flashbangs, and a grenade found in a corner of a secret passage.
That was all he had left. He told Elliott to stay put, took the grenade, and walked forward alone, then threw it without hesitation.
At that moment, G William descended from the sky and was directly hit by the blast. As the smoke cleared, G William's massive body was revealed.
Half of the white lab coat was burned to a charred piece and stuck to the skin. Half of the eyeball on the exposed giant arm was cut off by a shard, and yellowish-green pus flowed down the grooves of the arm muscles.
Seeing that it was effective, Liao Yunkai pulled out another flashbang without hesitation. A bright light immediately shone, and G William, who was originally going to rush towards him, immediately stopped in his tracks.
Liao Yunkai did not waste this crucial window of opportunity. All twelve bullets from the shotgun were fired in a short time, and then he switched to the Lightning Eagle, tearing apart the eyeballs on the giant arm one after another with .50 Magnum bullets.
Elliott, hiding in the back, was also helping to provide firepower.
But Liao Yunkai soon discovered that no matter how many bullets he fired, he couldn't kill G William; he could only restrict G William's movements. However, he also noticed that the tyrant didn't appear this time.
"Brothers! This time there's no Tyrant. As expected, Miteng won't let us fail! Now, all we need to do is push this monster down the pipe, and we'll win!"
Although the monster in front seemed unbeatable, the fact that the humanoid tank-like Tyrant didn't appear this time was a relief; there was still one monster to fight.
He remembered that the last time the tyrant threw this monster down there, so this was obviously the way to defeat it.
Liao Yunkai pulled out a tactical dagger and rushed forward, trying to push G William down, but he was soon punched to pieces.
However, Liao Yunkai was not discouraged. After nearly ten more near-death experiences, he finally pushed G William off the cliff.
"It worked...it worked?" Liao Yunkai lay on the edge of the broken pipe, panting heavily. The tactical dagger was still in his left hand, the blade covered with yellowish-green pus and dark red tissue fragments. The magazine of his pistol in his right hand was empty.
He still found it hard to believe as he watched the figure disappear completely into the darkness.
He actually pushed that monster, who could go toe-to-toe with the tyrant, down and also protected Elliott.
The comments section was flooded with messages at that moment.
"Kai is awesome! He really did it!!! He went head-to-head with William and still managed to save Elliott!"
"I'm fucking crying! That's incredible mental fortitude!!"
"Did you see that?! Kai just stabbed that monster in the eye! Then he lunged at it and used his weight to knock it down!!"
"That was too extreme!! For a moment, I thought I had to start all over again!!"
"Is this even a human being capable of?! My hands were shaking just watching the live stream on my computer!! How did Kai Ge manage to maintain his judgment under such circumstances?!"
"Let's send some gifts!! To help Kai-ge recover!!"
A dazzling array of gift effects exploded on the screen, with icons of sports cars and spaceships lining up and floating upwards. There were so many people sending gifts that the bullet screen system even experienced a brief lag.
At this point, Liao Yunkai's live stream had reached a peak of 10 million viewers, which is the highest number of viewers the platform can achieve outside of official live streams and major sporting events.
"Brothers, I'll carry you through this!" Seeing the number of viewers in the live stream and the fact that the screen wasn't yet filled with virtual gifts, Liao Yunkai regained his confidence.
Elliott then peeked out from the side, his voice trembling with relief.
"Lyon! This is the passageway to the underground parking garage! Let's get out of here quickly!"
Soon the two passed through the pipes and saw the entrance to the underground parking lot. Just as they arrived at the entrance and were about to open the door...
Several zombie dogs suddenly appeared from nowhere, their fur falling off in large patches to reveal rotting muscle and stark white ribs. Their cloudy eyes gleamed with a sickly yellow light under the emergency lights.
The lead zombie dog let out a low growl, then lunged at Elliot with all four legs pushing off at the same time.
These zombie dogs were incredibly fast; before Liao Yunkai could react, Elliot had already been bitten on the neck.
Just as the other zombie dogs were about to bite Liao Yunkai's neck, several gunshots rang out from the side.
The zombie dogs that lunged at Liao Yunkai were accurately pierced through the skull by bullets mid-air. Their rotting corpses slid far away on the ground due to inertia, leaving several dark red blood streaks on the cement floor.
Liao Yunkai suddenly turned his head to look in the direction from which the gunshot came.
A woman wearing a beige trench coat and sunglasses emerged from the darkness beside her, holding a pistol in her right hand, the muzzle still emitting wisps of smoke.
Her high heels clicked crisply on the concrete floor as she walked at a leisurely pace, as if she were attending a pre-arranged dinner rather than rescuing someone in an underground parking lot teeming with zombies and monsters.
Before Liao Yunkai could fully see the woman's face, the surrounding scenery began to fade away, and the game results panel appeared before his eyes.

The entire live stream room erupted in excitement at that moment. The barrage of comments and gift effects made the screen completely obscured. The news of Liao Yunkai's victory spread throughout all gaming communities within minutes.
The Little Brown Box forum's server crashed for thirty seconds the moment he cleared the game, and after it was fixed, the homepage was almost entirely flooded with the same title.
His walkthrough video was dissected frame by frame, and someone made a GIF of him stabbing G-Williams in the eye with a dagger and then lunging at the monster to knock it down the pipe, which was then widely shared on various social media platforms.
The live stream reached a peak of 12 million viewers, breaking his own record of 7 million set a week earlier.
Liao Yunkai also took off his virtual reality headset and let out a long sigh of relief. However, he did not choose to end the broadcast but continued to chat with his viewers.
"If Miteng delivers the prizes at the same speed as last time, I'll open the boxes with you guys later. I wonder what kind of gifts Miteng will send this time."
The barrage exploded the moment Liao Yunkai finished speaking. The previous unboxing video of the emergency spray had already garnered over 200 million views across the internet, and everyone was now guessing what kind of high-tech medicine Miteng would send.
"I guess it's another emergency spray. I wonder when this kind of medicine will be released for sale. I'll definitely buy two bottles and keep them at home just in case."
"Don't even think about it, upstairs. Such a powerful potion would be incredibly expensive to sell, beyond our reach. We'd be better off waiting for Brother Kai to come up with the strategy and then trying to get one of those 10,000 spots."
"Has no one discussed the woman who appeared in the final scene of the game? Even though she was wearing sunglasses that covered half her face, she was clearly a stunning beauty!"
"Our character, Leon, is struggling and looking disheveled here, while that woman is so refined and has excellent marksmanship. She's definitely not simple and must be a key figure in later chapters."
Just as the comments section was buzzing with discussion, Liao Yunkai received a message on his phone from Lu Fuyun. The two had exchanged contact information after their last meeting.
If they were to obtain the first-aid spray again, they hoped it could be given to the military for research, to which Liao Yunkai had no objection.
He used to be a special forces soldier and has an emotional attachment to the military. Besides, he had already personally tested it last time. No matter how amazing the emergency spray is, it can't regenerate severed limbs, so it's not very useful to him personally. He'll just unpack it, take a video, and give it to the military later.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of Liao Yunkai's private live broadcast room.
Liao Yunkai went to open the door and was surprised to find that it was Tan Qianfan, the boss of their live streaming company, who personally delivered it.
"Brother Kai, your package has arrived."
Tan Qianfan respectfully handed the box to Liao Yunkai with both hands, his waist unconsciously bending slightly, his posture very humble, and his eyes filled with fervor as he looked at Liao Yunkai.
Tan Qianfan usually treated Liao Yunkai very well, giving him many privileges. But ever since Liao Yunkai started live-streaming "Resident Evil," his attitude has changed drastically; he's treated Liao Yunkai like royalty.
After all, Liao Yunkai used to be called a money tree, but now he is called a gold mine.
Liao Yunkai felt a tightness in his anus from that burning gaze; it was even more terrifying than the gaze of a tyrant.
He quickly took the box, thanked him profusely, and then retreated at twice the speed he usually used to push his wheelchair back up to close the door again.
He soon noticed that this box was different from the last one.
Although the packaging still features the same red and white fan-shaped logo, it is now more refined and the box is larger.
"Brothers, it's unboxing time again. This time, the stuff looks pretty big." Liao Yunkai placed the box on the table and adjusted the camera angle so that the entire box could be captured in the frame.
He showed all six sides of the box, then flipped it over and squinted at the information on the shipping label.
"This time there was also a mailing address, it was sent from Nusantara, and the sender was a company called Umbrella. I remember Nusantara is a medium-sized island nation, right? In Southeast Asia."
The comments section also started analyzing the situation.
"Umbrella? Isn't that just a transliteration of Umbrella?! Miteng registered a company overseas with the exact same name as the company in the game's setting? What kind of operation is this?"
"I know Nusantara. It's an archipelago nation, a major exporter of rubber and palm oil, with a generally average economy, but I've heard that its foreign investment policies have been quite favorable recently."
Liao Yunkai didn't dwell on the issue any longer. His hand was already on the edge of the box lid. He took a deep breath and said, "Never mind, let's open it."
The moment the box was opened, he was visibly stunned; inside were three cosmetics neatly arranged.
A bottle of skin-renewing serum, a jar of moisturizing cream, and a bottle of hair growth tonic—all the tubes bear Umbrella's umbrella logo.
The comments section started scrolling.
"Skincare products? Miteng has switched to cosmetics? Instead of a life-saving emergency spray, they're giving first-time players face cream?"
"What the heck is this skin-renewing essence? You get this for your first S-rank clear?"
"What the heck is 'skin-renewing essence'? First-time server-wide clearer gets a bunch of cosmetics??? MiTeng, are you serious?"
"Trash Miteng! You made so much money off resurrection coins, and you're the only one in the world to achieve an S-rank first clear, and you still have the nerve to give away this stuff?"
"Brothers, don't rush to criticize, let's see what Brother Kai has to say first!"
Liao Yunkai didn't say anything, but simply picked up the bottles of cosmetics and brought them close to the camera so that the viewers in the live stream could see the instructions on them.
The moisturizer and hair growth serum seemed to be working normally until the description of the skin-renewing essence appeared, and the comments section exploded.
"Wait! What do you mean by making your skin look five to ten years younger?!"
"Holy crap! Is this for real? I'm going to sue Miteng for violating the GG Law! This isn't how you advertise!"
"Wait a minute! Everyone, calm down! Li Pao got his hands on that hair growth serum before, remember? He went from bald to having a full head of black hair overnight! Maybe these cosmetics really do work as advertised!"
"Yes! Someone did a real test on the hair growth product, and the video can still be found online. If the hair growth product is genuine, then the moisturizing cream and skin-renewing essence are most likely genuine as well."
"Brother Kai, hurry up and try it! You have scars on your body, right? Try the moisturizer first!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's try the scar-fading one first! The effect is visible to the naked eye!"
"Then I'll let the brothers test the effect first." After saying that, Liao Yunkai took off his shirt, revealing his strong physique and the scars left on his body from the battlefield.
"Wait, look at Kai's muscles! Is he in a wheelchair?"
"Brother Kai has been in a wheelchair for three years, and his upper body has become like this. Just think about how much training he does every day. His arms are thicker than my legs."
"Those scars... oh my god..."
Upon seeing the scars covering his body, the barrage of comments urging him to open the box, stirring things up, and spamming memes all stopped, replaced by silence.
Liao Yunkai unscrewed the cap of the moisturizer, squeezed a dollop onto his finger, and the light scent of mint and some kind of herbal plant filled the air.
He applied the moisturizer evenly to the vertical scar on his chest and demonstrated the application process to the camera.
"The instructions say that it deeply repairs skin damage and has a remarkable effect on fading scars. I've had these scars for several years, and I don't know how much they will fade. Could you keep an eye on it for me? Let's chat for a bit after I apply it and see how it goes after absorption."
As he spoke, he applied moisturizer to every inch of the scar's skin, and soon he froze.
Because the dark brown scar that had been with him for several years was fading visibly under his fingertips.
Just seconds ago, the old scar tissue was a dark brown color, but the color began to change from dark brown to light brown, then from light brown to pale pink, and finally faded to the point that it almost blended into the surrounding normal skin tone.
He gently pressed that spot with his finger, and the texture was no longer as hard and tough as before, but as soft and elastic as the surrounding skin.
The comments section went completely wild.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!! This is a live stream!! It's a live stream!! There's no way to fast forward! It started changing the moment his finger touched the screen!!"
"What am I seeing... a scar that's been there for years faded in seconds... is this even skincare... is this fucking magic...?"
"Invincible!! All skincare companies will go bankrupt if these products come out!!"
Just then, a new message suddenly started appearing repeatedly in the barrage of comments, with the frequency increasing until it eventually accounted for almost a third of the total number of comments.
"Everyone, hurry to Miteng's official website! There's big news!"
