Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Atypical Streamer

Entry: Atypical Streamer

Tags: [Luck], [Head Iron], [Hard Fate], [Ghost Collision], [Blind], [Believe in Science]

Introduction: In the live-streaming scene of Isgray City, an atypical streamer emerged. He had neither extraordinary looks nor any overwhelming talents, yet he somehow became a new sensation in the internet live-streaming industry.

And the reason for this achievement was merely one thing—ghost collisions.

This gentleman named Bert Wall claimed he believed in science and always scoffed at ghostly superstitions, yet he had the legendary ability to easily encounter ghosts. He repeatedly encountered various powerful ghosts during live streams but always managed to escape danger unscathed, sometimes even turning the tables on the ghosts.

The most talked-about aspect of this streamer was his unparalleled luck.

Some said he was a lucky guy because he always escaped unharmed from ghost collisions.

Others said he was an unlucky one because a truly lucky person wouldn’t encounter so many ghosts.

Of course, many doubted whether these live streams were real, since the ghosts he encountered were all peculiarities that couldn’t be captured on camera. When the dust settled, how many people would truly believe that this streamer had encountered ghosts?

Perhaps decades later, the biggest impression this streamer would leave is that he demolished a part of the city barehanded.

Powers: [Hard Mouth], [Hard Fate], [Hard Kung Fu], [Luck Path Hard]

Current World Rules: [Haunted Legend]

Companion Phantom Objects: [Holographic Intelligent Live Photography Drone], [Ghost Hand That Can Do Anything But Kill the Streamer]

...

Essentially, this new entry is a comedic one, but as everyone knows, comedic characters are the strongest.

Take these "Four Hards" powers, which might not seem impressive but are far from simple.

[Hard Mouth] is a "raise flag" skill. When Feng Xue said things like "It’s already 2077" or "How could this possibly exist" or "I just don’t believe it," it directly became a self-fulfilling prophecy, with a bit of a jinxing effect.

However, the power’s strength wasn’t very high; after all, it was merely a "Hard Mouth" rather than a "Crow Mouth."

Feng Xue thought the reason for the power’s decreased effectiveness was likely due to his live-streaming style. After all, he actively looked for ghosts while insisting there were none. In the audience’s minds, the ghosts objectively existed, so his prophecy just made them reveal themselves.

If he casually went to some deserted place and said, "No ghosts could possibly appear, right?" and then a ghost appeared, that might then become a "Crow Mouth"-type skill.

But upon thinking about it, Feng Xue dismissed the feasibility of such a causality power. After all, character setting was a process of gradual improvement, but if he kept doing this repeatedly, he’d likely be seen as a scripted fraud rather than a true Crow Mouth.

Conversely, actively seeking ghosts made the audience believe "this was real."

In comparison, [Hard Fate] was formidable. It was a low-tier version of Undying, in a way similar to "Blood-locking Hang" things. No matter what hardships were encountered, one could come through unscathed.

However, this power also had limitations. First, it was a passive power, with no active trigger, solely relying on fate—in simple terms, a probability skill, not a guaranteed activation.

Secondly, it came with a "Moldy Luck" attribute. After all, if someone had smooth sailing in life, people would only say they had good fate, but wouldn’t call them Hard Fate. Only those frequently experiencing misfortune, yet able to break the moldy luck with a headbutt, deserved the name Hard Fate.

In other words, this thing was a "Shit Magnet Aura," and not the ambivalent kind like the Miraculous Alexander Gem, but a purely unlucky type.

But even so, Feng Xue was still fond of this power because it could effectively resist instant death.

Even if it wasn’t certain to resist, even having a one-percent dodge chance was better than certain death upon encountering instant death!

Besides, powers like these would grow with the Kaidan Fire’s growth. With enough nurturing, it could eventually become a true Blood-locking Hang.

As for the attached Moldy Luck, well, wasn’t there the [Luck Path Hard] power?

This power was condensed from Bert Wall’s series of ghost-collision live-stream experiences. It wasn’t merely good fortune but emphasized a rebound from the bottom. When he faced bad luck, his personal fortune soared, and the greater the misfortune, the higher the fortune boost, but no matter how high, it wouldn’t change objective facts.

For instance, if a primed grenade happened to drop at his feet, exploding luck would make him narrowly avoid all shrapnel and steel balls’ paths—of course, he’d still have to withstand explosives’ blast forces, which luck couldn’t evade.

Lastly, there was [Hard Kung Fu], which didn’t refer to Yan Country Kung Fu. Instead, it referred to physical fitness, eye power, explosive power, and a series of basic skills, about embodying the skill of dismantling streets barehanded. It enhanced Feng Xue’s foundational attributes. Though among the four powers, it seemed the least impressive, relatively speaking, it was the most reliable power of this Kaidan.

As for this Kaidan’s Descent rule, [Haunted Legend] appeared quite modest. Simply put, when any place developed rumors about "haunting," regardless of their truth, he could descend there to debunk them. As for whether the audience believed it or not, that was none of his concern.

...

After contemplating his new entries, Bert didn’t interrupt the stream but carried the collected corpse specimen all the way to the police station. It wasn’t until the police refused to file a report, asserting that it was just a haunting, that he ended the stream grumbling, perfectly portraying a streamer who believed in science yet was suppressed by a superstitious environment.

It wasn’t until the live stream ended that he removed the drone and viewed its attributes—

Name: Phantom Object · Holographic Intelligent Live Photography Drone

Elements: [Intelligent], [Live-streaming], [Drone]

Brief Description: An intelligent drone from a certain Cyberpunk worldview, capable of automatically accessing the network in any online environment and seeking out the most popular live streaming platform at the time. It is universally applicable in all terrains and comes with beautifying features, making it the perfect companion for every streamer.

Note: Please abide by local laws and regulations when live-streaming.

The attributes were nothing particularly noteworthy, but its ability to ignore its environment and connect to the current world’s network was quite interesting.

But compared to the ghost hand, it was only child’s play.

The reason was that this entry didn’t transform the [White Ghost Hand] into a Companion Phantom Object, but instead solidified a completely new [Ghost Hand That Can Do Anything But Kill the Streamer] for Feng Xue.
