Stepping into the square and among the bustling crowd, I saw many faces from outside the town, making the day exceptionally lively.

"Have you heard? The legendary hero has come here too!"

"Of course, I came here just to see the Giant of Light! The ticket cost me quite a bit!"

"I really want to see the Giant of Light and the Earth God clash. I really want to witness a battle between giants, and then I can wait for the experts to provide an analysis."

"The size of Tsuchimori's monsters makes them unsuitable for skillful combat, putting them at a significant disadvantage against humanoid opponents. However, relying on firepower for suppression can easily result in friendly fire incidents, making them unsuitable for urban warfare..."

The sounds of conversation and laughter drifted in from all directions, reaching the ears of the somewhat distracted and anxious Yao Hui. This made the somewhat withdrawn Yao Hui realize that this was not the time to be looking down and frowning. Noticing that many eyes were on them, Sean led Yao Hui aside to a stall in front of a small shop to sit down and avoid the stares.

"We've walked so far, let's take a break for a bit. Is there anything you'd like to eat or drink? It's on me this time!" "Oh, I'll just have some tea. I'm not hungry yet."

Realizing he was being a bit obsessive, Yao Hui tried to clear his head and get back to his senses, drinking some water before thinking about what to do next. Seeing Yao Hui's preoccupied look, Sean guessed he wasn't feeling well, so he ordered two cups of honey bamboo tea from the shop owner to soothe his throat first.

"Hey Sean, I thought you'd given up after a few days! You've been on hiatus for even longer! Still no updates!"

"Alright, alright, stop rushing me. Let me get that thing out of the basement first. I'm out with a friend today, so I won't be talking about updates."

The owner chatted familiarly with Sean while skillfully preparing tea for the guests. Sean paid in advance as usual, then turned around and sat down with Yaohui.

There were many people around, but it wasn't noisy. The store entrance was very clean, which made Yao Hui feel comfortable and relieved his worries. He chatted with Sean to change his mood.

"You're quite popular, Sean. Everyone's been very friendly to you." "After writing for a few years, I've built up some connections. I've persevered by relying on the professional knowledge and hobbies I developed when I was younger, which is a small wish I've fulfilled."

"Hey, how many years has your column been running, Sean? That's amazing!" "I guess so, hehe. At first, I just wanted to present the funny ideas in my head. After the fans liked them, I kept doing it."

After being praised by Yao Hui, Sean couldn't help but feel happy. Looking at the admiring look in Yao Hui's eyes, Sean felt a little embarrassed. However, since Yao Hui was so interested in his column, there was no harm in sharing his thoughts with him.

"Sean, you haven't forgotten? You know and you still aren't updating? Are you going to be sent to the 'basement' too?"

The boss brought the tea and then readily sat down next to Sean, pulling out his previous column pieces to look at. Seeing that Sean wasn't wary of Yao Hui, the boss was certain that Yao Hui wasn't on the minister's side. Since he wasn't afraid of being schemed against, the boss unceremoniously treated him as one of his own.

"Don't look through my old work in front of my friends, it's so embarrassing! Close the book!"

Having just been praised by the hero, Sean didn't want Yaohui to see his previous impulsive side, so he quickly held down the boss to prevent him from showing what he had written. Seeing this, the boss didn't press the matter. The fact that he could push Sean to this point meant this young man was definitely not simple.

"Why are you being so dramatic, Sean? Your writing has been exposed for a long time, and you didn't react this strongly when it was trending before."

"Oh, is Sean popular in town?" The shopkeeper's words caught Yao Hui's attention. After taking a sip of tea, Yao Hui felt much refreshed, his mind cleared, and he relaxed for the time being.

"That's for sure. Because of the existence of the Earth Guardian, the towns around here are constantly talking about the Earth Guardian and the Earth Guardians, and writing articles about them. They can analyze every single detail from head to toe, and they argue about what school of thought and what moves each person makes. The key is that some people like to read those articles talking nonsense back and forth."

In comparison, I still find watching Sean's show more enjoyable. He talks about things that are interesting and doesn't ramble on about things I don't understand. Watching Sean's antics is much quieter than watching those people who patronize this "general" and that "masterpiece."

The boss's proud statement was a summary of his years of experience in this field, coupled with a desire to appear as a knowledgeable outsider who didn't follow the crowd, which prompted him to be candid with Yaohui. Seeing Yaohui's thoughtful yet somewhat enlightened expression, the boss knew that Yaohui was like him.

The familiar atmosphere reminded Yaohui of the internet environment on Earth. Although he hadn't used the internet for a long time, the established practices there probably wouldn't change anytime soon.

Thinking about it this way, Yao Hui was even more grateful that he hadn't been caught up in the mainstream. Otherwise, based on his own impression of online lobbyists, he probably would have been purged very badly.

Sean didn't mind the boss talking to Yaohui about the atmosphere. The overall atmosphere wasn't something Sean could change at will. He could only do his job well. He had previously fulfilled his wish by writing down the ideas in his mind, and now he had promised to take care of Yaohui in accordance with his agreement with Ajiu.

Moreover, the boss and Yaohui changed the subject and didn't talk about his previous works. Sean felt very relaxed and calmly drank his tea, keeping the outside world out of his mind.

However, what Sean didn't notice was that the book the boss had put down earlier was secretly taken away. Zeta controlled Yongyi Chunjing to slip away under the table and then put what Sean had written on the ground so that it could be seen clearly.

"The analysis of blocking and combos is quite precise. It doesn't mention the lighting, but the main points are similar to my impressions of Tsuchiya. It's amazing that Sean can understand so much about Tsuchiya just by watching! I really want Sean to analyze the fighting for me too! Just thinking about it makes me super excited!"

Seeing that he was getting along well with Yao Hui, and since he didn't have any other business at the moment, the boss opened up and continued chatting with Yao Hui. After all, it's rare to find someone who has the patience to listen to you, especially in this atmosphere where everyone is trying to gain attention.

"Sean is the best fighter I've ever seen who can analyze action scenes, and the best entertainer among fighters. There was this guy who was trying to ride the wave of popularity and made some nonsense while analyzing action scenes. Fans found Sean and corrected him. When his mistake was pointed out, that guy was still not convinced and challenged Sean to a one-on-one fight. But in the end, he lost. Hahaha."

"Is that so? Sean, have you ever played 'friendly matches' with your colleagues?"

"It's not really a serious matter, just a friendly rivalry between men. If the other party is willing to accept defeat, then I admire him. Otherwise, if the other party challenges me to a fight and then runs away, then I'll just treat him as a joke."

Sean didn't shy away from his past. He felt there was no need to dangle his personal relationships with others at this time. Sean simply explained in response to Yao Hui's answer. There was no need to dwell on the past unless things took a turn for the better, and a turn for the better that the boss cared about very much.

"Hey, haven't you heard what's been going on lately, Sean? That kid who challenged you to a duel before has gotten all arrogant again. He's completely changed his tune, treating everything he said before as nonsense. He posted that you're bullying others because of your relationship with Qingxuan! He even threatened to fight you again. Aren't you going to teach him a lesson?"

"Ignore him. He's probably trying to gain attention by taking advantage of Tsuchiya's arrival. Meddling in other people's business might just cause trouble for him. Haruki and I have other things to take care of."

Knowing the potential crisis, Sean had no time for fame and fortune. Besides, if his opponent did something truly outrageous, the guild would definitely not let him off the hook; it wasn't Sean's place to worry about that. His immediate priority was to work with Haruki to find the real culprit behind the monster rampage as quickly as possible.

"That's a pity. I heard that kid recently gained magical powers and is very arrogant! I was hoping you could teach him a lesson to vent everyone's anger."

"I'll deal with his affairs when I have time; it's not convenient for me right now..." "Wait, boss, you said that person suddenly gained magical powers? When did that happen?"

Suddenly realizing that things had taken a turn for the better, Yaohui immediately grasped the key points and worked at high speed, not letting go of any potential opportunities.

"It's been these past few days. I don't know where that kid got his magic from. I've never seen him use it before, but suddenly he's become proficient at it, just like those rioting triangular pigs, it's all so inexplicable..."

With a clue emerging from the mystery, Yaohui and Sean exchanged a glance, knowing that the key to breaking the deadlock had appeared. Next, they would go find the person who had suddenly gained magic to investigate. If the magic they acquired was indeed bestowed by an external force, like the Triangular Pig, then it was highly likely that it had been enhanced by the same entity.
