chapter 2
Anti-Cliché Streamer System
My Items: Novice Starter Pack ×1
My Skills:
Sage Mode (Passive): You have an extremely stress-resistant heart.
Why does that name sound so weird?
Li Yi’s face darkened, then he continued reading.
Heroic Charge (Passive): With the boost from Sage Mode, your stamina will be greatly enhanced.
Mystery solved. This System is clearly doing this on purpose.
If these two skills were separate, it would be fine-but together, it’s really hard not to have certain unexpected thoughts.

“Please set your live stream title. Once confirmed, the System will automatically broadcast your stream to the homepages of all major popular websites around the world.”
“Most handsome guy online, live-streaming how to handle Fierce Ghosts.” Li Yi thought for a moment before confirming this title.
“Live stream has started. Wishing you a pleasant stream.” After this line flashed by, the System interface in front of him disappeared.
[“What the hell? Wasn’t I just watching Gazi bro selling booze? How did I suddenly end up here?”]
[“Who is this Streamer? Did I wander into the wrong Live Streaming Room?”]
[“Whoa, the Streamer is so handsome! I’m obsessed. Please, handsome Streamer, go wild on us!”]
[“Officer, it’s him! He’s getting all frisky right here in the Live Streaming Room!”]
Has it started already?
Looking at the flood of comments in the Live Streaming Room, Li Yi’s mood improved a lot.
As the saying goes, when one person sees a ghost, it’s a supernatural event. When a bunch of people see a ghost together, it’s a boss raid.
Having company while getting scared isn’t so bad after all.
“Hello everyone, I’m Bear Grylls. I’m Li Yi. Today, I’ll show you how to survive in some of the most extreme and dangerous places on Earth.
I’m about to face some serious challenges. In places like these, if you don’t have the right survival skills, you wouldn’t even last a day. This time, I’ve come to a residential building in Hua Nation.”
After a brief pause, Li Yi decided to greet his Live Streaming Room audience first.
[“Streamer, I gotta admit-you’re the king of talking nonsense with a straight face. If residential buildings are dangerous, my school must be a warzone!”]
Li Yi glanced at the flood of cheeky comments, then silently adjusted the camera in the Live Streaming Room, pointing it toward the peephole.
Screen reveal-critical hit!
Outside the door, an old man in a brown Shroud, covered in corpse spots, was knocking.
His skin was ghostly pale, blood streaming from all seven orifices.
The skin exposed beneath the brown Shroud was mottled with blue-black corpse spots!
His eyes were hollow and endless, making him look extremely creepy!
[“Aaaahhh!”]
The chat erupted in excitement.
“Brothers, what’s the situation? Is it safe out there?”
The next moment, Li Yi swung the camera back to himself and asked knowingly.
Honestly, this System’s Live Streaming Room is way better than his old phone: 60-degree coverage with zero blind spots, mind-controlled, and in dangerous moments, you can even use it to check the bushes.
[“Holy crap, Streamer, you scared the life out of me! What was that-a ghost? Don’t you guys have Detention Army patrols there? Oops, nearly flashed my Jingdu hukou!”]
[“I’m calling it now: you’re the most hardcore Streamer ever-still streaming after running into a Fierce Ghost! You might just go down in history!”]
[“Streamer, don’t panic. I’m an expert-do as I say:
1. Stay calm, don’t freak out.
2. Try to hide, don’t just run around, and call the authorities for help.
3. Your hiding spot doesn’t have to be that secret, but you need at least three escape routes. Don’t hide in places like wardrobes or under the bed-those are dead ends.
Then just find a cool spot, sit or lie down, and you can peacefully wait for death.”]
The moment a Fierce Ghost appeared on stream, it instantly captured the special attention of the whole online crowd.
They were no strangers to ghosts, but a live broadcast of encountering ghosts was still novel enough to draw in a constant stream of viewers. Very soon, the popularity soared to hundreds of thousands.
The bullet comments flooded the screen.
Li Yi…
Unreliable internet jokers aside, it was better to check out the Novice Gift Pack from the System first.
Li Yi opened the Novice Gift Pack.
“Awarding Host, Novice Gift Pack.”
“Ding… Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Resentful Ghost Protective Vest!”
Resentful Ghost Protective Vest: Can withstand attacks from Resentful Spirit-level Evil Ghosts, impervious to water and fire!
“Ding… Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Novice Weapon Card!”
Novice Weapon Card: This card can be used to select any object and enhance it, turning it into a Magical Artifact capable of harming Resentful Spirits.
“Ding… Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Evil-Expelling Talisman: a one-time-use item that can expel a Fierce Ghost once. Ding… Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Divine Ability: Yin-Yang Eyes!”
Yin-Yang Eyes: Allows the Host to temporarily enter a spirit-communing state and glimpse things that are otherwise invisible.
A black vest that looked like a bulletproof vest instantly appeared on his body, the snug and heavy feeling giving him a strong sense of security.
“Novice weapon…” Li Yi pondered for a moment.
His gaze fell on the armchair in his hand.
At the moment, the most lethal thing in his home that could be considered a weapon was this armchair.
Using a chair to drive away ghosts-this was perfectly reasonable.
System: “Does the Host confirm using the Novice Weapon Card on the wooden armchair?”
“Confirm!”
The Novice Weapon Card in Li Yi’s hand immediately turned into a streak of black light and merged into the armchair.
As soon as he spoke, the surface of the ordinary wooden armchair underwent a magical transformation. A faint golden glow enveloped it, the pale yellow wood gradually turning a deep crimson. From its previous twenty-yuan-a-piece look, it now appeared as exquisite as an antique.
Moreover, mysterious and profound Talisman Scripts were carved into the armrests.
Soul-Suppressing Chair: A Magical Artifact enhanced from an ordinary armchair, capable of dealing massive damage to Resentful Spirits. Can be further upgraded.
Gripping the Soul-Suppressing Chair in his hand, Li Yi felt even more confident.
Even the Fierce Ghost’s death-seeking Ghost Knock at his door now seemed unremarkable.
Dong! Dong!
The Fierce Ghost’s knocking sounded again, carrying a strange rhythm, each thud striking at his heartstrings.
The sound was not particularly loud, but the Fierce Ghost’s strength was astonishing-the iron door was shaking and on the verge of collapse.
“Ding, the room you are knocking on is unoccupied. Please try another door.”
“I’m sorr…”
Li Yi pressed against the door, tentatively speaking.
As soon as he finished, the Live Streaming Room was instantly flooded with bullet comments.
[“Hahaha, damn, I can’t take it, the Streamer is killing me with laughter.”]
[“Heard of missed notifications, but this is new. [Ghost: Do I look like an idiot to you?]”]
[“Whoa, is this the world of the strong?”]
There was no response from outside the door, but he could still feel that thing standing right at his doorstep.
It was even possible that the other party was peering at him through the peephole.
“Streamer, what are you spacing out for? Don’t give up, run!”
“Go find a hotpot, smear some ash on your face, maybe you can sneak by.”
“The guy above has watched too many dramas. Why not have the Streamer commit suicide first?!
When the Fierce Ghost opens the door, the two ghosts can just stare at each other.”
“Streamer, don’t panic, just go for it while it’s hot. As long as I’m not embarrassed, the one embarrassed is the other side.”
“The brother above is too slick, I salute you!”
At the same time, the System’s cold prompt sounded in Li Yi’s ear: “Facing the door-to-door death-seeking Fierce Ghost, you have made the following two choices.”
“Is there even a need to choose? Am I the kind of person who drags others down with me?”
