Chapter 226: Chapter 226: This Is Absolutely Slander! Livestream Debut

"Ahem, um, how about we don’t trouble you with filming the promotional video!" A white dragon beside him coughed lightly, his expression somewhat odd.

"Why not? My name, Nidhogg, should still carry some weight in the continental nations, shouldn’t it?"

Nidhogg looked at the white dragon with some confusion. Although his active days in the continental nations were 1,500 years ago, surely he still had considerable fame and authority.

"It’s precisely because you’re too... too authoritative that we’re worried... we’re worried it’ll backfire. To be honest, your reputation among human kingdoms isn’t very good. Even though human dynasties have changed several times over, your legend... still echoes like thunder. Your notoriety is widespread."

The Dragon of Despair, Nidhogg—the things he’d done back in the day were basically just wiping out a few cities. But after being spread around for over 1,500 years, he’d practically turned into some world-destroying demon god. Who knew how many brave, righteous hero knights had fought against him in storybooks...

If he still appeared openly in Magic Net videos, who knew what uncontrollable things might happen.

The free appraisals would probably be interpreted as outright robbery, and free delivery would be understood as swallowing things whole and bringing them back to Dragon Island... Just thinking about it made the white dragon shudder.

They absolutely couldn’t let the elder participate in these public-facing activities. At the very least, not before they’d established good credibility.

"? Have I, Nidhogg, done anything truly heinous that would make humans remember me for over a thousand years?" The Dragon of Despair expressed his confusion and even felt heartbroken.

"Um, you could search for your own name in Magic Space..." The white dragon said this much, then didn’t dare continue. "I’m going to notify our dragons in various locations first. If I warn them too late, who knows what they might do."

The white dragon bolted like lightning, so fast he exceeded the maximum speed a dragon of his rank could reach, leaving Nidhogg kind of dazed.

But soon, the Dragon of Despair Nidhogg came to understand what despair really meant. "Slander! Malicious slander! These humans are slandering me! When did I ever do these things?!"

Roars of anger echoed through the dragon race’s Council of Elders, drawing the attention of dragons everywhere. But after discovering it was him, they all turned their heads away and stopped looking.

Almost everyone was attracted by the Magic Net’s major update, especially after seeing all the information about online shopping and auctions. But there were always some people who noticed content others hadn’t.

Roster Territory.

Church of Love and Beauty.

"Audrey, what do you think—if I changed my daily scheduled long-form news segments to livestream format, would that be better?" After a long silence, News Bird Megan suddenly asked Audrey, who’d become an archbishop.

Broadcasting long-form news at a fixed time each day with herself as host—this was the program Megan had valued most recently.

But the results hadn’t been satisfactory. Compared to taking each small news story and giving it an explosive headline, the gap was just too big. Even within the news agency, some people already thought this was a failed experiment.

But after seeing the Magic Net video launch the ’livestream’ feature, she suddenly felt like maybe this model could still work.

"Compared to videos themselves, the livestream format has more immediacy and brings audiences a different feeling. Worth a try."

Audrey thought carefully, then nodded seriously. "What do you think—should I give it a shot too? Not the professional stuff, mainly just chatting and things like that. I feel like a lot of fans really seem to want this."

"I feel like it’s kind of risky, but it also seems highly feasible." Megan wasn’t quite sure.

If it were before, when they had nothing to lose, they’d just use any new feature without thinking. But now, one of them had the biggest news agency behind her, and the other had become a bishop through short videos. That made them have to be more careful.

But some people were way more decisive than them!

Myriad Mountains.

Edwin quickly adjusted the Magic Net in his hands, confirming that it was now filming his currently disheveled self, then immediately started the livestream.

Starting the second day after Magic Net videos appeared, he’d carried his Magic Net into the Myriad Mountains and begun his wilderness survival journey.

As a cleric, setting up self-charging arrays and using wireless transmission devices naturally wasn’t a problem for him. Every day he’d edit what happened that day and post it to Magic Net videos.

The Myriad Mountains were rarely visited by humans but had a massive reputation and tons of resources. As soon as he posted, he attracted tons of fans.

But as time went on, more and more skeptical voices appeared. Lots of people said his content was just acting, that there was no way it was actually filmed in the Myriad Mountains. No matter how he explained it, in those people’s eyes, it all seemed like he was just making excuses.

But this time, the appearance of the livestream feature let him see a way to solve this problem.

Watching the audience in his livestream grow more and more, Edwin’s face lit up with a brilliant smile. "Since you guys were able to enter this livestream, you should know that I, Edwin, am a cleric of the Church of Hunting and a high-ranking member of the Hunters’ Association."

"I’m currently undertaking a real challenge. I will not use any divine arts or magic, will reject all supernatural powers, and relying solely on my exceptional physique, will survive in these Myriad Mountains for one month."

"This is an extreme place. Hailstorms, windstorms, toxic fog, blood-sucking animals, ferocious beasts—they’re everywhere. Plus, I haven’t brought any dry rations or water sources. All of this needs to be hunted and obtained in the mountains."

"Over the past while, many exciting stories have happened around me. You can check them out after the livestream ends by clicking on my homepage or searching my name. But right now, you’re gonna follow my camera as we improve this shelter together..."

Edwin kept talking to the camera about what he was doing, things that had happened recently, and things he was about to do, completely oblivious to the fact that tons of people watching his livestream were seeing him for the first time.

As the first person to start a livestream, even though most people’s attention wasn’t on livestreaming right now, he still got quite a bit of push notifications.

"??? The Myriad Mountains?"

"Isn’t entering the Myriad Mountains without using supernatural powers basically suicide?"

"When I was young, I explored inside for about ten days. We gained huge rewards, but we also paid a terrible price!"

"Edwin’s from the Church of Hunting—he’s got really professional knowledge and skills. I’ve been watching him for ages."

"Real talk, I survived a crisis using knowledge from his videos. Super practical!"

"He looks really rough. If he really is a pretty high-level cleric, he might actually not be using supernatural powers!"

Pretty quickly, Edwin’s livestream gathered tons of people who were really curious about the ’livestream’ feature. Quite a few of them were deeply drawn in by Edwin’s actions.
