Chapter 56 Seven Million Shock Value, A Sudden Surge in Power
“Whoa, seriously? A direct Class A arrest warrant with a 200,000-yuan reward?”
“Damn, are you saying people in Nancheng won’t be able to watch Big Brother’s livestream or even see the comments?”
“I’m a die-hard fan of Big Brother. Forget 200,000 yuan! Even if it’s 300,000 or 400,000, I’d never betray him!”
“What??? So, the audience in Nancheng won’t get to see Big Brother’s livestream anymore? And there’s going to be a city-wide manhunt? All of us in Nancheng are loyal followers of Big Brother. There’s no way we’d ever betray him, even for a 200,000 yuan reward!”
Captain Hong Feng took decisive action, elevating the arrest level and issuing a Class A arrest warrant. This development left the audience in complete shock.
A reward of 200,000 yuan? A city-wide manhunt? They even implemented special streaming restrictions for the entirety of Nancheng.
This was a big deal.
Despite this, many viewers were defiant, flooding the livestream with comments swearing they would never betray Big Brother.
“According to Captain Hong Feng’s orders, any Nancheng resident who reports Wang Yun, and is verified by us, will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan. Additionally, the informant will have the opportunity to share a meal with Wang Yun after his arrest. We’d like to remind Nancheng viewers not to think about getting tips from residents of other cities, our program team has a robust technical staff capable of verifying your information,” said the producer, nodding in agreement with Hong Feng’s instructions and adding his own.
“Hmm? The producer added a condition about dining together?” Shen Hao, sitting nearby, asked as he caught the added detail from the director.
“Hehe, Wang Yun has done something that rocked the entire internet and has gathered a large following. That’s all I’ll disclose for now, the rest is in your hands, team leaders,” said the executive producer with a slight smile before turning to leave.

“The production team is incredibly cunning! Offering the informant a chance to dine with Big Brother? That’s clearly to discourage people from holding back on reporting!”
“Seriously, production team, what do you take me for? Just for reporting, I get 200,000 yuan? Can I even spend that money with a clear conscience? At the very least, I should be part of the arresting team, shouldn’t I? Otherwise, I won’t feel right taking that money.”
“Man, the production team is so sly. But, you know what, I like it. Starting today, I’ll roam the streets to help the inspection team in capturing Big Brother!”
“Ahh! I hope I run into Big Brother so I can report him on the spot!”
“Wow, people of Nancheng, where’s your sense of morality?”
“Big Brother is done for. This is a full-scale, city-wide manhunt. Clearly, the production team is seeking revenge because Big Brother has blown through their budget. They want to get rid of him ASAP.”
The moment the producer’s words landed, the livestream comments exploded. Viewers were in disbelief. Many who claimed to be die-hard fans of Wang Yun vowed to fully cooperate with the inspection team to help capture him.
People from other regions were flabbergasted by the devious tactics of the production team. Clearly, Big Brother must have cost them too much, and they’re trying to eliminate him swiftly.
How low!
A city-wide manhunt with officers armed to the teeth, how could anyone escape? Many viewers took a moment to mentally pay their respects to Wang Yun.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the counterattack mission with an ‘A’ grade. You’ve earned a random advanced skill reward!”
“Ding! Congratulations, host, you’ve acquired the advanced Magic skill!”
Unbeknownst to Wang Yun, he had already been elevated to a Class A wanted criminal, with a bounty of 200,000 yuan hanging over his head.
Just as he stepped out of the hospital, the voice of the system rang in his ears, leaving him slightly bewildered.
“Wait, what? System, are you serious? My performance on this counterattack mission is rated only A-grade? Shouldn’t I be getting an S-grade and a God-level skill as a reward?”
Wang Yun couldn’t help but challenge the system’s evaluation.
“To earn an S-grade rating, you must simulate murder and eliminate individuals,” the system’s voice chimed in to clarify.
“Simulate murder? Eliminate people?”
Upon hearing the system’s explanation, Wang Yun suddenly understood. Since this was part of a show, his role required him to simulate killing the show’s officers to achieve the highest level of vengeful audacity, in keeping with the Peerless Bandit System he was a part of.
And because it was a show, naturally, he couldn’t actually kill anyone. He would have to eliminate them in a unique, simulated manner.
“Well, if it’s an advanced skill, then an advanced skill it is.”
Wang Yun felt somewhat resigned, but then he checked the shock value points he earned.
“What? Is this for real? Over seven million?”
His face lit up with delight upon seeing his shock value points. Over seven million, a staggering number indeed. This amount was enough for him to acquire seven god-level skills. His eyes glinted with excitement as he prepared to upgrade his abilities.
“System, upgrade my Advanced Eagle Eye, Advanced Alertness, and Advanced Buttery Flower Picking skills to God-level. Also, boost my physical and intellectual attributes by one hundred points each.”
Decided, Wang Yun grandly gestured with his hand. It was time to splurge.
Both the Eagle Eye and Alertness skills were highly practical. As for the Advanced Buttery Flower Picking skill, its utility was also substantial. Upgrading all three skills to God-level would consume 3.6 million of his shock value.
He also opted to augment his physical and intellectual stats, adding one hundred points to each. Instantaneously, Wang Yun felt a clarity wash over his mind, and his body surged with explosive energy.
