Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

After the livestream room fell into silence for a moment…

Suddenly, a barrage of comments flooded the livestream room.

[Oh my fucking god! That anchor really killed the giant anaconda in a single blow!]

[This person… he's incredibly strong and terrifying!]

[Oppa, you looked so handsome just now. I'm shocked. I want to have your baby!]

[Yeah, the way this streamer calmly said the snake was just a small insect was so cool. Especially when he launched that lightning attack, so freaking awesome!]

[Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying! Hey, you idiots! Do you even realize what this means? This means the Earth as we know it is about to change, and a new era is beginning!]

[Hiss… So many monsters being reported in the news… it's all true. I'm not going outside anymore. I'll just stay home from now on. There's no way I'm going to work!]

[Is the world ending? What should I do?!]

[Fuck!! Fuck! Is this the end of the world? Damn it, I haven't even gotten married yet!]

[Don't be afraid, everyone. Judging by that anchor's appearance, he should be able to protect us. He even killed a snake that huge! From now on, my family will worship the anchor!]

[Hey, the guy above me, are you stupid? You're hoping the streamer will protect us? Don't make me laugh! Even if I want the streamer to protect us, there's no way he can, he's only one person!]

[That's… true. Like that brother just said, the streamer is only one person. There's no way he can protect all of humanity!]

[Hic… is there really no hope left? If the streamer won't protect us, then who will?]

When Andy saw the comments saying that he would protect them, he wanted to refute it immediately. However, he didn't expect so many netizens to think rationally.

"Who can protect you? Of course, it's yourselves! In this world that is about to enter the law of the jungle, everything will depend on your own efforts to survive!"

"Why did I say that Earth will enter the law of the jungle? Because when monsters and powerful characters begin to appear in the world, that's when the structure of human laws will collapse and lose their meaning!"

"The weak must submit to the strong, and the strong must submit to the stronger!"

"So, what I can say right now is prepare yourselves. Then, gather your courage and go treasure hunting. If you manage to find a treasure, at the very least your lives will be guaranteed, even if not a hundred percent safe."

After Andy finished speaking, he didn't see any response from the viewers.

Maybe they were deep in thought after hearing his words, or maybe they were simply too afraid of what the future might hold.

On the other hand, the shocking scene of Andy facing the giant anaconda had suddenly spread widely across the internet!

What happened today created a massive impact and an unprecedented sensation!

A video clip of Andy unleashing a wave of lightning and sweeping the forest for a full 10 kilometers went viral after being uploaded online!

Immediately, a global shockwave occurred!

And from the governments of many countries around the world, they were no longer able to hide such a massive incident even if they wanted to!

With news of Andy emerging, the rumors and reports of monster appearances resurfaced and became hot topics across the internet!

At this point, Andy and the monsters had gone viral online!

[Oh shit, how is this even possible?]

[This has to be special effects, right? Does this person really have superpowers? My god, i can't believe what I'm seeing!]

[Who is this? Can this person really unleash lightning waves that powerful? It's not that i don't want to believe it, it's just completely against logic and science!]

[After watching the news and then seeing this clip, my entire worldview has been shattered!]

[I must ask, Is he a superhuman? What's happening in the world?! Monsters are one thing, but now a person who can emit lightning?]

[You bunch of idiots, that's Boss Andy. He can do way more than just release lightning waves, he can do things you can't even imagine!]

[Andy? Isn't that the host of the treasure hunting stream that's recently gone viral online?]

[Damn, I thought it was just special effects or some marketing gimmick to gain followers, but it was all real!]

[Bastards! Those idiots in the government tried to hide something this big from the people and casually dismissed it as rumors!]

[Fuck! They blocked all sources where monster sightings were shared and gave us no information! If not for today's incident, I might've kept believing it was all fake only to die the moment a monster appeared at my doorstep!]

News of this event caused panic across the globe!

People from various countries began openly insulting their leaders and governments online.

Since the event happened in China, the Chinese government and citizens were the most concerned.

Such a massive incident had occurred within their country!

When Chinese citizens saw the video, they too were terrified by the appearance of the giant anaconda at the zoo.

From the citizens' perspective, the monster was horrifying.

But from the government's point of view, Andy was far more terrifying than the monsters.

They feared that Andy's overwhelming power could disrupt societal order and threaten national security.

What made them even more concerned was the fact that Andy was not Chinese, he was just a foreigner who had suddenly appeared in their country and revealed such devastating power.

As a result, the Chinese government immediately elevated Andy's threat level to the highest tier.

At this very moment, they were discussing whether they should surround and capture Andy.

After all, his presence in their country was too dangerous. But given the power he had displayed, they were hesitant.

They weren't sure if the video had shown the full extent of Andy's power, if it was only a fraction, attempting to capture him could bring their own destruction.

Moreover, they had no idea whether Andy had any hidden trump cards.

At the very least, all they could do for now was wait and observe while calming the public to prevent widespread panic from the monster appearances.

After all, they could no longer suppress the rumors, the only thing they could do was manage the people's emotions.

Aside from the Chinese government, many governments around the world began to analyze Andy's power.

Heated debates arose with only two possible conclusions: recruit Andy, or capture and dissect him to study his abilities.

After all, these government elites were used to sitting above others and looking down on the masses.

Andy's appearance had genuinely shaken them, and it threatened their authority.

As the news went viral, the number of people in the livestream room skyrocketed, quickly exceeding millions of viewers!

Due to the viral nature of Andy's fame, TikTok didn't dare to limit his traffic. Seeing his strength, they feared provoking him if his stream crashed.

So, the TikTok team quickly expanded their server capacity to accommodate more viewers.

As the new viewers joined the livestream and saw the forest still burning clearly on screen, they were shocked, many of them still couldn't believe what they were seeing.

[Hiss… this is actually real. Seeing the burning forest on the screen, I'm fully convinced!]

[Boss, nice to meet you. I just joined, but I'm in awe of you. Look at that forest, you're insanely strong, boss!]

[Are the monsters in the news real? And is this streamer really someone who can control lightning? But how? You guys must've read too many novels!]

The statements from the new viewers immediately flooded the chat window of the livestream room, prompting the earlier viewers, who had fallen silent after Andy's words, to quickly launch a counterattack against the newcomers.

Instantly, countless heated discussions overwhelmed the livestream chat.

Eventually, after repeated explanations from the longtime viewers, the newcomers finally began to believe.

Seeing that the intense debate had settled down, Andy smiled and began greeting the new viewers.

"Thank you to everyone who just joined."

[Hey boss!]

[Greetings, mate!]

[Oppa, you're so handsome!]

[Onii-chan, you're a god in my heart!]

[Bro, from now on you're my idol!]

After greeting the new viewers, Andy began popularizing more knowledge.

"Guys, as you've seen, that giant anaconda I just killed came from the world of anacondas."

"To be honest, that type of monster is very weak compared to others."

"Take the world of One Piece for example, because that world is surrounded by vast oceans, there are many terrifying sea creatures living in the deep sea."

"Many sea beasts are the size of aircraft carriers, and they're just considered ordinary sea monsters."

"Above them are even more terrifying creatures known as Sea Kings. Sea Kings are sea monsters capable of commanding many other sea beasts. Moreover, their average length is around 5 kilometers."

"In fact, in the world of One Piece, there's even an island that rests on the back of a giant elephant that stands 35 kilometers tall and spans 20 kilometers in length!"

"So compared to the anaconda I just killed, it's really nothing," Andy said in a dismissive tone.

Hearing this new information from Andy, the viewers in the livestream room no longer felt anxious and began commenting:

[What the heck? Was that giant snake really so weak?]

[Wait, are there really other worlds?]

[Hey newcomer! Weren't you already told that other worlds truly exist? Why are you still asking? Do you want the boss to explain everything again?]

[Sorry… no, I mean, A Sea King that's 5 kilometers long? That's hard to believe!]

[Is that still considered a living creature? Aren't they the size of an island?]

[I feel like my whole view on life has been shaken today. If the host hadn't shown this live, I'd probably think I was going insane and check into a mental hospital.]

[A giant snake just a few dozen meters long already scared me half to death. Are you telling me there are sea monsters the size of aircraft carriers and Sea Kings 5 kilometers long??]

[Shit, what did I just hear? A giant elephant 35 kilometers tall and 20 kilometers long???]

[What the fuck!]

[At that size, I'm scared that just one step from that elephant would be enough to sink New York into the sea!]

[Ah ah ah, Oppa, my heart is overwhelmed… I can't take it anymore…]

[Girl above, are you moaning or what??]

[Hey, brothers and sisters, do you still remember that thousand-meter-long sea monster photographed near the waters of Japan? Could that be the Sea King the streamer mentioned?]

[Sea King? I don't think so. The boss said Sea Kings are at least 5 kilometers long. So I think that one isn't a Sea King but a sea beast much larger than average, though still far from Sea King level.]

[Shit, after reading your comment, that makes sense. It really might not be a Sea King. But still, a sea monster a thousand meters long is terrifying, okay?!]

A heated discussion broke out in the livestream room after hearing Andy's explanation.
