Chapter 252: Chapter 171 Playing Monster Hunter_2

"That way, it’s like helping him find relief." Zhou Yuan said softly.

In the livestream room, the comments were densely flying by.

"He really, it made me cry."

"Wait, is this ghost a bit too naive? Just trusting the streamer to resolve his obsession like that?"

"Maybe it’s because the streamer doesn’t look like someone who would lie?"

"Don’t get involved in supernatural matters."

"Streamer, you’re so gentle. I forgot to bring utensils to school. Can you send a fork to my elementary school?"

"Sigh, suddenly feeling a bit hopeless about this world."

Zhou Yuan noticed the last comment, raised an eyebrow, and read it out loud, "Suddenly feeling a bit hopeless about this world? What’s wrong, viewer? If you’re feeling down, you can connect with me for a chat."

Quickly, the viewer who commented replied:

"It’s not that I want to end my life... This guy has been dead for so long, and if it weren’t for you, streamer, his superiors and boss might never receive the punishment they deserve."

"Clearly causing someone’s death but not bearing any responsibility... Then what’s the point of the law? What’s the point of fairness?"

"Moreover, if the streamer wasn’t an extraordinary person but an ordinary one, and without encountering supernatural events, wanted to seek justice for the deceased, I think the result would most likely be like dropping a stone into the ocean. No response whatsoever."

"From this, you can see that society has always been cruel to ordinary people. In the transcendent era, this cruelty will undoubtedly intensify endlessly."

"In front of extraordinary people, ordinary people are incredibly insignificant. After being bullied by extraordinary people, they won’t be able to seek justice. With a bit of bad luck, they might even get killed on the spot."

"Just thinking about such an unfair world makes me feel a wave of fear and suffocation."

These words were not without reason.

Although the Control Bureau, the Federation, and even major supernatural organizations and churches all claimed that everyone was equal and that extraordinary people and ordinary people had equal rights.

But anyone could understand that equality was a joke. When it came to practical situations, it was a whole different story. The rich, the officials... These people, who didn’t even possess supernatural powers, could already mess around with the common folks. So, how much worse could it get with extraordinary people?

Everyone was equal, but some were more equal.

Zhou Yuan organized his thoughts and spoke:

"Just like this viewer said, society has always been dark, cruel, and full of injustice. Human hearts are intricate, filled with complex webs of interests, which is why cases like these cannot be handled properly."

This kind of thing has been unavoidable in any era, and the transcendent era is no exception.

But don’t be too pessimistic. The existence of the Control Bureau can, to a certain extent, curb the occurrence of similar events. Any event related to supernatural powers will not be ignored by the Control Bureau."

The emergence of extraordinary people was undoubtedly a huge challenge to the stability of human social order. With power comes ambition, and as more opportunists appear, they would shake the social order.

Only by overwhelmingly suppressing them could the collapse of civilized social order be prevented.

And the Control Bureau was the colossus that suppressed them all.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly ended the livestream because he hadn’t actually answered the question.

—What should ordinary people do if they want to seek justice?

The cases without supernatural elements were ordinary cases, which the Control Bureau wouldn’t handle. And regarding ordinary cases without any results, with no response... Similar situations were just too common.

Zhou Yuan couldn’t come up with a good response, so he could only end the stream. Otherwise, if they continued, the livestream might actually go dark.

This was a problem that had existed in human society for thousands of years, and asking someone with only a middle school education to answer it was honestly beyond his scope.

Maybe, one day in the distant future, human civilization could evolve to a glorious height, achieving true harmony, fairness, and equality for all.

But that would certainly be a long, long way off.

Zhou Yuan cast aside his thoughts again. Overthinking served no purpose. At this stage, all he could do was enhance his own strength as much as possible to face the upcoming golden era.

Back in the car, Gu Chacha said excitedly, "We earned ten million gifts from this livestream alone! And that’s after tax and deductions!"

And our number of followers has skyrocketed by three million!"

"That much?" Zhou Yuan was a bit shocked. This number was definitely top-tier in the livestream community.

And this was just the first day of streaming.

He checked the status of collected divine power and found that the divine power reserves had increased significantly, reaching one-third.

[Night Divine Power: 29/100]

Thanks to the massive fanbase, the speed of acquiring divine power was extremely rapid. If it continued at this pace, the divine power would be replenished in another two or three days.

In terms of level, he was only 50 Experience Points away from reaching Level 39, not far from Tier 4.

Not counting his previous cultivation, Zhou Yuan had become an extraordinary person at the end of May. Now it was early August, and in just over two months, he was about to reach Tier 4. This promotion speed would definitely drop jaws.

"By the way, Saint Heir, I just saw Chen Guangxi leave the building. What happened between the two of you?" Gu Chacha asked curiously, always keeping an eye on the livestream room, naturally noticing that it was Chen Guangxi pretending to be a ghost earlier.

Zhou Yuan’s expression darkened, "Mind your own business, kid."

"Tch, you just got rejected, right? No big deal." Gu Chacha had already seen through everything.

Zhou Yuan was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"With your dazed look, even a primary school student could tell, let alone someone like me, a seasoned veteran in love affairs."

Gu Chacha shook her head and sighed, "Previous Saint Heirs were all ultimate playboys, juggling multiple relationships without ever getting caught. But in your term, you’re losing your head over a woman. It’s truly something."

"..." Zhou Yuan couldn’t argue and could only helplessly say, "Just drive."

Despite being a high school student, Gu Chacha could drive because she was an extraordinary person. While starting the car, she kept on chattering:

"Let’s not even talk about how excellent you are as a Saint Heir. Just being this handsome means you can have any woman you want. You could have one in the morning, another in the afternoon, and a third one in the evening, three different ones a day without repeating. There’s no need to hang yourself on a single tree.

I watched the reality show livestream. If you’re really struggling, I can introduce you to some mature, suitable older sisters who would be perfect for you. You could even have them all at once and enjoy some group fun."

"Enough already, I haven’t failed completely. There’s still a chance." Zhou Yuan couldn’t help himself.

"Uh... that just means she’s stringing you along like one of those loyal followers. Keeping a distant and close relationship, seeming close but actually distant. When you try to approach, she moves away. When you try to give up, she comes closer, giving you hope and keeping you in endless anticipation, making you willingly offer up everything."

Gu Chacha found this hard to suppress, "I’ve used this trick countless times, and it works on every single guy. How come you... Alright, I forgot you’ve never dated or even interacted much with women."

She let out a long sigh.

"You damn..."

"Am I wrong?" Gu Chacha retorted confidently.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Why do you like Chen Guangxi anyway? Just because she fits your XP? That abstract personality... I don’t think anyone would like that."

"Wait!"

Without waiting for Zhou Yuan to speak, Gu Chacha thought of a key clue:

"I remember you’re a Monster Hunter player, right?"

"Yeah, so what?" Zhou Yuan replied.

"Then it’s solved."

Gu Chacha snapped her fingers and said confidently, "You’re a dracophile!"

Zhou Yuan: "..."

He wanted to argue, but after holding it in for a long time, he found he couldn’t come up with any counter argument.
