I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4105 Mission
Everyone quickly understood what He Xinchangping meant. Based on what they knew so far, this emotional energy wasn't generated by them; more accurately, it was the energy generated by others' emotions towards them.

Just like how the system guides them to do live streaming, it's clear that live streaming is a quick way to attract emotional energy; otherwise, why would the system make them do it?

So now that we understand they might be unable to feel things because they don't have enough emotional energy, the best solution is obviously to quickly increase their own emotional energy. In other words, quickly do something that will attract a lot of attention, which is what He Xinchangping meant by "doing something big."

At this point, they seemed to suddenly understand why Linton had done the live stream in the first place.

Yes, they were quite puzzled before. Why would someone like Linton want to hire a photographer to livestream him? To become famous? Obviously not. After all, someone like Linton doesn't need to actively seek fame. And after he became famous, he didn't say anything about taking on apprentices or anything like that. It couldn't just be to add a little entertainment to the lives of other people in the world, could it?

However, they probably now know that Linton's goal was also emotional energy.

They now feel that this emotional energy is quite important. Linton's previous livestream was to collect it, and they suspect that Linton's strength might be related to this emotional energy. This system, on the other hand, was competing with Linton for emotional energy, which is why Linton was hunting it down.

You see, everything seems to connect now, right?

Of course, the matter of seizing emotional energy has little to do with them; all they want now is to survive.

Rather than figuring these things out, it's more important to discuss what exactly they're doing to attract so much attention. As the name "emotional energy" suggests, it's about stirring the audience's emotions to effectively collect this energy. If the content isn't exciting enough, it won't attract more people or evoke their emotions.

Therefore, the things you do must be big.

"So... learn how to subdue demons from Mr. Linton?" Akiyama Shunsuke suggested tentatively.

None of them spoke, clearly indicating that this was a useless suggestion.

Linton's livestreams do feature fighting monsters, but the monsters he fights are truly formidable. They're constantly battling the three great Japanese monsters, like Ōtakemaru and Shuten-dōji, or even directly invading the demon realm. He's clearly capable of that.

What can they possibly do if they go to the demon realm now? They'll be lucky if they don't get attacked by the monsters. They're going there to save their own lives, not to throw them away.

Furthermore, the timing of Linton's livestream was also a factor in its popularity. Back when Linton was streaming, there was no one else to compete with. If you wanted to watch demon-slaying, Linton was your only option.

But look at it now, if you click on the recommendations on live streaming platforms, at least half of them are about exorcising demons and monsters. Some are real, some are fake, and it's impossible to tell whether it's a genuine exorcism or just a scammer leading people around.

Yes, especially after Ms. Aihara's exorcism show became popular, there were even more copycat live streams. They included both human and ghost figures, everyone wanted to grab a share of the hype; right now, this kind of thing is generating the most buzz.

Even if they did start a livestream about exorcising demons, would it become popular? It's more likely they'd be ruined for life, right? Seeing that the others remained silent, Akiyama Shunsuke realized his suggestion was foolish. However, after a pause, he spoke again: "If all else fails, we can livestream robbing a bank."

Everyone looked at Akiyama Shunsuke with surprise upon hearing this. Indeed, Akiyama Shunsuke usually seemed like a well-behaved young man, but they hadn't expected his second suggestion to be robbing a bank.

"Well... um... I've fantasized about it when I have nothing to do," Akiyama Shunsuke said, feeling a little embarrassed by the stare.

“No way.” He Xinchangping thought for a moment and shook his head directly. “In this day and age, even if you rob a bank, not many people will pay attention. For example, just yesterday, a bank in the neighboring Chiba Prefecture was robbed. Do you know about that?”

Upon hearing this, the group shook their heads, clearly unaware of the matter.

“That’s right. I only found out about it because my family heard about it. In peacetime, a bank robbery would definitely be headline news. But in this era, with more and more people becoming aware of the dangers, criminal activities have become more frequent. You could even say that bank robberies are not such a special case anymore,” He Xinchangping said.

He Xinchangping's words make a lot of sense. Look at ordinary people like Akiyama Shunsuke, who still had the idea of ​​robbing a bank after awakening. What about the others? After gaining power, will they indulge themselves and actually put it into practice?

This kind of thing probably happens a lot around the world now, but many incidents are simply not reported. After all, reporting these things only proves the current government's incompetence; with the situation outside in such chaos, stability is the priority.

Live-streaming a bank robbery is even more absurd. The government has already said it doesn't want this to be publicized, so live-streaming a bank robbery is just asking for trouble.

"Then what should we do?" Shimizu Ritsu thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good idea, so he could only continue to look at He Xinchangping, since he still felt that He Xinchangping had a plan.

"Right now, the world's focus is still on the Awakened Ones and the bizarre monsters, so we still need to start from that point," He Xinchangping quickly set the tone. "We need to find out if anything major has happened recently..."

“Speaking of important matters, I do know of something significant.” Yamada Hayato, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"What?" Everyone looked at Yamada Hayato in surprise, not expecting him to suddenly speak. After all, he had been kidnapped, and it was quite a commotion for him to suddenly speak at this moment.

“As you all know, I’m a member of the Anti-Corruption Department, so I do know that something big will happen tomorrow. However, most of the public probably don’t know about it yet; they’ll likely find out by watching the news tomorrow night,” Yamada Hayato said.

"What exactly happened?" Shimizu Ritsu asked anxiously.

"Actually, it's tomorrow. The demon realm will send an envoy who wants to hold talks with the higher-ups of our Otherworld Department," Yamada Hayato said. "Do you know the Inugami clan? Tomorrow's envoy is from the Inugami clan."
