: Holy sht! Holy sht!
: He's live! HE'S LIVE! A nationwide celebration!
: My god, I waited the whole night, and Brother Fan finally went live!
: Bro above, forget one night—you could wait ten and still get nothing! Brother Fan only streams during the day!
: Guys, did you all grind last night? Anyone find a new artifact?
: Don't talk about it... I stayed up until 6 a.m. and still came up empty-handed!
: Keep at it! Finding even one artifact can totally change your life!
: Eh? Brother Fan seems to be somewhere unusual today. He's not treasure hunting on the streets?
Almost the instant the stream went live, an avalanche of viewers flooded into Yuuto Kagami's channel.
300,000… 500,000… 1,000,000!
"Whoa, what's with the crazy viewer count today?"
Even Yuuto Kagami was taken aback.
He hadn't expected the stream to explode like this the moment he went live.
It even—
Doubled the peak viewership from the day before!
"Good to see you again, everyone."
"Welcome to the Treasure Hunt Livestream. I'm your host—Yuuto Kagami!"
Coming back to his senses, Yuuto Kagami waved at the camera, greeting his massive audience as usual.
The viewers responded with thunderous excitement.
The bullet chat scrolled nonstop, and waves of virtual gifts flooded the screen.
Then—
Yuuto Kagami panned the camera to show his surroundings.
"Today's stream is a bit special."
"We've been invited to help identify and explain an artifact."
: Special? How special are we talkin'?
: No way—is it another one of those insanely lucky viewers?
: Someone found an artifact?! WHERE??
: Huh? This place looks… off. Doesn't seem like an ordinary spot you'd just stumble into.
: For real. It kinda looks like a museum or something. Don't tell me Brother Fan is actually in a museum?
: If I'm not mistaken, those walls... look like some sort of bulletproof material. That stuff's government-regulated!
: Wait a minute—are you saying Brother Fan is helping the authorities evaluate artifacts?!
Yuuto Kagami didn't directly confirm the chat's wild guesses.
He simply flashed a mysterious smile.
At that moment, he gestured to a girl nearby—Shen Lele.
"Hey everyone, remember me?"
Shen Lele, cheerful and without a hint of shyness, leaned into the frame with a bright smile.
At first—
Most viewers didn't immediately recognize her delicate features, but they all agreed she looked very familiar.
Almost like she read their minds, Shen Lele raised her pale hands—and several white silk threads shot into the air!
Seeing this—
Viewers who were unsure just moments ago instantly lit up with recognition.
: HOLY—! That's the girl who found the Devil Fruit, right?!
: It is her! I remember—her name's Shen Lele!
: That's the String-String Fruit's ability!
: Hold up. Why is Brother Fan with Shen Lele? Don't tell me…
: Don't even THINK that, man!
: Wait… wasn't there a rumor going around that she joined a government agency?
: Confirmed. Brother Fan is officially working with the authorities to evaluate treasure!
With just one appearance—
Shen Lele sparked a frenzy in the chat.
And her presence made it obvious who Yuuto Kagami was assisting today.
"Alright."
"Let's take a look at today's artifact!"
Ignoring the speculation, Yuuto Kagami chuckled, then walked toward a nearby display case.
"Eyes open, everyone. This—this is the artifact."
He pointed to a pile of blue fragments inside the case.
: What the hell is that?
: That just looks like a pile of junk, if you ask me.
: Brother Fan's finds are getting more and more abstract—yesterday it was a door, and today it's literal garbage?
: No, seriously—what could you possibly do with a bunch of broken bits?
: I mean, I could believe the hilt next to it is special, but the rest just looks like scrap!
As viewers flooded the chat with confusion and sarcasm—
Yuuto Kagami had already confirmed his earlier suspicion using the Multiverse Treasure-Hunting System.
[Multiverse Artifact: Demon Blade Thousand Edge / National Treasure of the Forged God Kingdom!]
[Origin: Scissor Seven Universe]
[Abilities: The blade is formed from over a thousand individual fragments.
These fragments can morph and change shape to attack in a variety of ways.
They can combine into a single blade for close combat, or scatter to form customized weapons.
Once dispersed, the fragments can pierce through enemy defenses by recombining mid-attack.
They can also form a semi-defensive barrier with high durability.]
[Activation Method: Grasp the hilt and call out its true name—Demon Blade Thousand Edge!]
[Friendly Reminder: Extremely difficult to control. Without proper mastery, it's just a fragile pile of junk.]
"As I suspected—it really is the Demon Blade Thousand Edge."
A glimmer of understanding flashed in Yuuto Kagami's eyes.
The Demon Blade Thousand Edge—
Straight out of the Scissor Seven universe.
It was the signature weapon of the protagonist, Wu Liuqi (a.k.a. Seven).
Unlike ordinary swords, this blade was entirely composed of tiny, individual fragments.
"Don't rush to judgment, everyone."
"Let me explain step by step."
After confirming the artifact, Yuuto Kagami turned back to the camera and began his breakdown.
"This pile of fragments…"
"Is actually the Demon Blade Thousand Edge!"
: Demon Blade? Thousand Edge??
: Did I hear that right—those fragments are a sword?
: I mean… maybe as throwing weapons I could believe, but a whole sword? That's pushing it.
: Wait—are you telling me this sword's completely shattered??
Just then—
Yuuto Kagami opened the display case.
He picked up the black hilt inside, but didn't touch the fragments yet.
"Next, I'll show you how this artifact works."
Gripping the hilt tightly—
Yuuto Kagami shouted with a deep, resonant voice: "Demon Blade Thousand Edge!!"
And in the next moment—
A jaw-dropping sight stunned every viewer, and even shocked those watching from the side like Zhou Hongwei and Li Yayun.
SHING SHING SHING!!
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
The blue-violet fragments that had been lying still suddenly trembled violently!
Then—
They exploded upward, launching into the air with a thunderous burst!
Countless glowing shards surged out of the case, twisting together like a dragon soaring through the air!
And then—
With a loud whoosh, they all dived toward Yuuto Kagami!
Before the disbelieving eyes of the entire stream—
The glowing blue-violet fragments rapidly attached themselves to the hilt in Yuuto Kagami's hand!
In almost an instant—
They assembled into a long, straight blade!
The sword's silver-white body shimmered, laced with intricate blue-violet cracks running along its surface.
SHIIING!!
As the magnificent weapon took shape, a roar of excitement exploded in the livestream.
Even Li Yayun and the others watching outside the room stared, eyes wide with awe.
: HOLY SH*T! What the hell did I just witness?!
: Did Brother Fan just say its name and make all the fragments fly into a full sword??
: That was SICK!! The pieces just shot into the air and then built themselves into a weapon!
: This is insane—what even is this thing?!
: Brother Fan, what on earth is going on?!
