I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4120 Anxious

"It seems... it seems to have worked." Takaoka Yūnori opened his eyes uncertainly, saying with some disbelief.

"Did you succeed?" Zong Yang, who was standing next to him, immediately asked upon hearing Takaoka Yuzuri's words. Yes, even he hadn't succeeded yet, but he also felt that the technique seemed to be very close to completion.

He could clearly feel the emotional energy that Takaoka Yūnori mentioned. His suggestion to handle this matter during a live broadcast was indeed quite effective.

The number of viewers in the live stream has now exceeded 100 million. That's right, this is only the second live stream to surpass 100 million viewers, after Linton and his live stream featuring Ms. Aihara. This isn't just hype; it's a genuine number of viewers.

Because of what Takaoka Yuzuru said earlier, the live stream's popularity spread very quickly, with a large number of viewers sharing information about the live stream, leading to a surge of new viewers.

Of course, the live stream is bustling right now, with many people coming in and immediately asking where the cultivation technique is. That's right, there are quite a few freeloaders; they just heard about the live stream giving away cultivation techniques and came here to ask for them directly, while many others don't know the specifics of the situation.

The cultivation technique hasn't been created yet, so of course they can't get it. As a result, a lot of people are arguing in the live stream, and the chat is really chaotic right now.

Regardless of the controversy, the show is guaranteed to generate massive buzz. This also doesn't stop Takaoka Yusuke, Muneaki, and others from gaining emotional energy through the live stream.

Being immersed in an environment rich in emotional energy significantly increases the chances of perceiving that energy.

Previously, Zong Yang had only occasionally sensed this energy, but now, the difficulties had been significantly reduced. The perception step was passed quite easily.

The second problem is how to transform this emotional energy into usable power, a step they truly lack experience with. How to transform it, what kind of energy to transform it into, and where to store this energy after transformation? These are all parts they need to figure out.

Fortunately, at this time, Takaoka Yūnée once again offered many constructive suggestions.

For example, regarding where energy is stored, Takaoka Yuzuri told Muneyo that emotional energy cannot be stored directly with demonic energy, as they will interfere with each other. Therefore, one must create a new area within one's body to store energy.

Zongyang found it quite strange that Takaoka Yuzuri knew this, since he was a human. Structurally, humans and yokai are clearly different; humans, unless corrupted by demons, cannot possess demonic power.

Of course, the reason why Takaoka Yusuke was able to say these things was not because he came up with them himself, but because Muneyo in the simulation figure figured them out by himself.

In short, with these experiences of trial and error, the speed at which they created cultivation techniques was actually quite fast—faster than the two of them had imagined.

However, it is Takaoka Yūnori's side that has succeeded faster now.

Indeed, although the general principles of the cultivation techniques created by the two are the same, one is human and the other is a demon, so there are naturally some differences in their application to individuals.

Takaoka Yuzuru's faster success wasn't due to his superior talent compared to Muneaki. Rather, it was because he actually spent many times more time on the project.

"I'll try again." However, Takaoka Yūnori was still unsure if he had truly succeeded. He felt he had just converted some emotional energy, but perhaps because it was too little, he couldn't feel it anymore. Furthermore, with a constant influx of emotional energy into his body, he didn't feel any loss.

So Takaoka Yūnori closed his eyes again, savoring the sensation he had just figured out, and began his transformation practice once more. Then he heard the familiar system notification sound.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a "ding" sound indicating you've created some kind of skill and are about to give you a reward. On the contrary, it's a system warning.

"Warning: System energy loss detected. Please stop dangerous behavior immediately, otherwise the system may not function properly."

Takaoka Yuzuru's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden system warning. After reading the system prompt, he frowned.

At that moment, he realized that he might have truly succeeded.

That's right, the system is telling him that its energy is being depleted. What is this system energy? It's emotional energy, of course. As mentioned before, this system, which attaches itself to them, conserves a portion of their emotional energy. You could say that this conserved energy is to keep the system running, which makes sense.

However, given their current situation, they'd be doomed if they used the system. If they completely exhausted their emotional energy, it wouldn't be a problem if the system stopped functioning altogether.

However, at this moment, Takaoka Yūnori suddenly hesitated. Indeed, he had been relying heavily on this simulation system these past few days. It had to be said that the system had truly helped him complete many "high-difficulty" phantom thief performances; it was quite useful.

If all the emotional energy in one's body is converted to enhance one's strength, can it achieve the same effect as the simulation system? Takaoka Yūnori felt that it wouldn't work, because the simulation function was truly effective.

Now, Takaoka Yuzuri is having some regrets. If he could, he would still like to continue using the simulation function. Although it feels like he's working for the system, he's not a very ambitious person. So what if he's just working?

But is it possible to turn back now? It seems not.

As things stand, he's unaware that Linton is already watching the live stream. But whether he knows or not, he's already on this dangerous path. And if he tries to explain later that he was threatened, do you think Linton will listen? Linton isn't the type to listen to explanations.

In short, it's probably hard to explain clearly, so for the sake of his own life, he seems to have no choice.

So he ignored the warning message and continued to circulate and transform emotional energy according to the techniques he had mastered.

"Warning: System energy is draining. Please stop the destructive behavior immediately, or all system functions will be lost!"

A new warning message appeared, and the wording was noticeably stronger than the previous one.

Even Takaoka Yūnori could detect a hint of anxiety in the system's warning. The system had never shown any signs of personality before, but this time, although its speech still sounded mechanical, something was definitely amiss.

Simply put, the system is in a hurry.

"Warning: Please stop the vandalism... Stop!"

With a loud "thud," the entire helicopter suddenly jolted violently, as if it had been hit by something.
