Chapter 119

The clown was physically muted by Shi Jian, and Butler Tang reached a whole new level—he didn’t manage to swallow Shi Jian, but ended up swallowing her chainsaw instead.

After a brief silence, the livestream room completely exploded. If the streamer could see the comment panel, she’d be dazzled.

The barrage of comments moved so fast that it was hard to catch a full sentence.

【Aaaaah, help, I got goosebumps! I was just worried Butler Tang would swallow the streamer whole, and now I just want to scream “Wife! Step on me!”】

【Jiejie is so beautiful, so badass, I love her so much】

【That was too epic.】

【She’s a goddess of exorcism. Battle-damaged makeup yyds (eternal god)!】

【To those who joined this stream during this dungeon—if you’ve been watching, you’d think she was just brains-only, and now it turns out her combat power is insane too?】

Who wouldn’t love a badass streamer with brains, beauty, and strength?

Shi Jian was already top-tier in looks, a beauty among beauties. With blood smeared on her pale cheeks, it only heightened her unique allure.

Her black-and-white eyes seemed to burn with roaring flames, and staring into them gave the illusion of being scorched.

But she was so dazzling, so radiant, that no one could look away.

Meanwhile, longtime fans expressed:

【Don’t know why, but I feel like crying. Is this the joy of watching someone grow?】

【From trembling in fear at seeing corpses to now being able to attack monsters directly without hesitation... damn, I’m really crying.】

【Shi Jian: Like, can you not mention the leg-shaking thing, thanks.】

【She’s the Leg-Shaking War Goddess! (dog head emoji)】

...

Gifts and items rained down like crazy, no less impressive than the onslaught of comments.

And the battle wasn’t over yet.

Butler Tang truly hadn’t expected Shi Jian to have grown to this extent—she was using a chainsaw now!

His impression of her had remained at “annoying, disruptive, a bit cunning and always looking for loopholes”… That’s why he was caught off guard, failing to swallow her and instead getting injured by her.

At this point, Tang Tian finally locked onto Butler Tang and managed to slow him down.

The four-person team also launched additional attacks on him.

But Butler Tang wasn’t so easy to take down. Shi Jian’s chainsaw hurt him, but didn’t kill him. Stimulated by pain, he became completely unhinged.

He activated his ultimate!

“Die… all of you, die…”

Although it had always been clear from various details that Butler Tang wasn’t human, he had maintained a human appearance until now. This time, however, his legs fully transformed into a massive serpent’s tail. His upright body stood as tall as two people.

Shi Jian’s chainsaw slipped out of his mouth—now she couldn’t reach him.He opened his mouth and blood dripped in long streams, and though his words were slurred, his rage was still palpable.

“Mama…”

All the streamers were looking up at this version of Butler Tang—someone couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

Tang Tian went from thinking Shi Jian was so cool to wondering, Should I give Shi Jian an invisibility cloak since she’s so close?

But Shi Jian reacted faster. As soon as she sensed something was wrong, she quickly retreated. The blood dripping from above didn’t even touch her clothes or shoes.

Shi Jian put down the chainsaw, picked up her phone, and opened with, “I want to file a complaint.”

…

Even in such a tense, dangerous moment, Shi Jian still had other thoughts—like: So Butler Tang really is from the snake category.

As soon as Shi Jian spoke, the enraged, transformed Butler Tang vanished from sight.

When Shi Jian’s awareness returned, she opened her eyes to see the man with the pixelated face sitting in his crisp uniform behind a desk.

Although he had previously explained that filing a complaint within the dungeon brought you into the judgment room where time outside was frozen—so Tang Tian and the others shouldn’t suffer Butler Tang’s attacks—Shi Jian still cut straight to the point.

“I want to file a complaint.”

Shi Jian wiped the blood off her cheek with the back of her hand.

“Complaint about what?”

Shi Jian: “I want to report Manager Tang for eating guests while on duty!”

It wasn’t that Shi Jian hadn’t noticed Butler Tang breaking the rules earlier—she just still had use for him at the time. Now she didn’t.

Butler Tang should pay the price for his violation.

Shi Jian: Pixel-head, let’s go. Bring your big iron chains. We’re off to leash Butler Tang.

She didn’t have to wait long. After reviewing the entire incident, the pixel-headed man spoke.

“Complaint upheld.”

His voice, still electronically processed, was as always deep and emotionless, without any distinguishing features. But to Shi Jian in that moment, it sounded like heavenly music—absolutely delightful.

…

Shi Jian’s awareness returned to Dreamland Amusement Park.

Everything remained the same as before—the scene hadn’t changed at all, not even the arc of Butler Tang’s swinging tail.

What had changed was the sudden appearance of another being.

To the others, the mutated Butler Tang looked ferocious and menacing, but the pixel-headed man had easily chained up even the fish monster before. Handling Butler Tang was even easier.

Butler Tang didn’t even try to argue. He fell silent, lowered his head in defeat and terror, and willingly slipped his head into the chain.

Accepting his punishment.

Though the way he looked at Shi Jian was venomous, as if laced with poison.

But Shi Jian wasn’t scared of Butler Tang—not even in his ultimate form—much less now when he was no longer a threat. After completing this satisfying takedown, Shi Jian grinned playfully and made a heart gesture at him."Thank you, Butler Tang, for helping me achieve the first successful complaint of my streaming career."

Turns out, you really can count on old acquaintances for unlocking new achievements.

She was provoking him like crazy.

Wasn't it once said that dogs and Shi Jian weren’t allowed into Rose Castle?

Shi Jian held grudges—big ones. Now that she saw Butler Tang chained up like this, he was the one who looked like a dog.

If you want to truly destroy someone, leave it to Shi Jian.

Butler Tang: "......"

This time, Butler Tang didn’t even have the chance to throw her a glance. The uniformed man appeared out of nowhere and then disappeared just as suddenly—taking Butler Tang with him.

Crisis averted.

Given how mad Butler Tang had gone, and how even the chainsaw couldn’t finish him off directly, Shi Jian figured they wouldn’t have come out well if they’d tried to fight him head-on.

What made Shi Jian even happier was discovering that 100,000 points had just been credited to her account.

Shi Jian: Pixel-head really knows what’s up.

Tang Tian and the others came over. Tang Tian had some understanding of the judgment room thanks to Shi Jian, but Lei Xiao and the rest were still in the dark.

Why was Butler Tang suddenly taken away like that?

Shi Jian gave a brief explanation of her suspicions and the complaint process. Everyone immediately gave her a thumbs-up in unison.

"That Manager Tang guy isn’t coming back in this dungeon, right?"

One of the male streamers, who had been unexpectedly saved, was still a little shaken—after all, he’d literally been swallowed by the guy.

Shi Jian nodded. "He shouldn’t?"

Butler Tang had already been chained and taken away.

That male streamer had wanted to say something earlier, but the situation hadn’t allowed it, so he held it in. Now it was finally his turn.

Shi Jian remembered he had something to say and signaled that he could speak now.

Facing Shi Jian, the male streamer still looked a bit embarrassed—he’d been genuinely awed by her earlier.

Blushing, he scratched his head. "I discovered another reason why Dreamland Amusement Park shut down. I don’t know if you guys already know..."

"It’s about Butler Tang embezzling funds and using public money for personal gain."

Shi Jian, Tang Tian, and the rest of the team all perked up.

They really didn’t know about this one.

Tang Tian’s expression grew excited, and she asked the male streamer, "What’s going on? Tell us everything."

Shi Jian also perked up her ears and made a show of seriously listening.

To think, with just a few hours left before the report deadline, they were still uncovering new clues.

…The male streamer didn’t intend to hide anything—if it hadn’t been for Shi Jian and the others, he’d be dead by now.

He directly pulled out several reimbursement forms—all expense reports from Dreamland Amusement Park, with the signature scrawled messily as “Tang.”

Even though Shi Jian had never done this kind of work before, just a glance was enough to see how outrageous the expenses were.

For example, a regular balloon was reimbursed at 100 yuan apiece. Other small toys and dolls were listed at absurd prices as well.

The male streamer explained, “I was too focused on gathering materials and didn’t realize when he got close to me—that’s how I ended up getting swallowed…”

After reading through it all, everyone exclaimed in disbelief. Tang Tian clicked her tongue. “This is insanely shady.”

Although Butler Tang had already been reported and taken away by Shi Jian, she still couldn’t help commenting, “Butler Tang’s really got some nerve.”

“I highly suspect he wasn’t transferred to Dreamland Amusement Park voluntarily—more likely, he was fired by his boss after they found out about this.”

Lei Xiao and the others hadn’t expected that what started as a supportive visit for Shi Jian would lead to such unexpected discoveries.

Dreamland Amusement Park was rotten to the core, top to bottom—and with the clown setting the place ablaze, it was a miracle the place had lasted this long.

Another +1 to their report materials, and the chances of clearing the dungeon had also gone up.

Now that Butler Tang had been taken away by the enforcer, things seemed safer, but since the park had officially closed for the day, no one lingered.

After all, no one could be sure if new dangers would emerge once the park closed.

On the way to the park hotel, after some thought, Lei Xiao gave Shi Jian and Tang Tian a suggestion.

Lei Xiao asked, “Have you two considered finding suitable teammates and forming a team?”

Lei Xiao had directly benefited from team-based dungeons and knew the value of cooperation very well.

But her suggestion wasn’t only based on how teamwork allowed for better coordination and boosted viewership—more importantly, “there are dungeons specifically designed for teams.”

Shi Jian wasn’t very familiar with this, but Tang Tian, being a master of intel gathering, knew a bit more.

After Lei Xiao spoke, Tang Tian added, “You mean the kind with a team size requirement, where you have to go in as a group?”

Lei Xiao nodded in confirmation.

Unlike the current dungeon that could be tackled solo or in a group, there were other dungeons that required team entry—some focused on team collaboration, others on team-vs-team competition.

The latter made it easier to rack up points.

These dungeons were still a bit out of reach for newcomers, but for more experienced streamers, it was time to start looking into them.

Shi Jian absorbed a lot of new information again. No wonder so many streamers had tried to invite her to team up back at Angel Orphanage.

Finding trustworthy, like-minded teammates wasn’t easy. The earlier you started scouting, the better—and it still took a lot of time and effort to build synergy…

Lei Xiao only brought this up because her experience with Shi Jian had been so positive—it was a genuine and kind reminder.

Shi Jian and Tang Tian once again thanked Lei Xiao, their expressions becoming more serious.

“We’ll definitely give it serious thought.”

After witnessing the four-person team’s coordination in battle, Shi Jian and Tang Tian both realized just how important a good team could be—especially since they were completely helpless against the clown’s mental pollution.

What they desperately needed now… was a healer.…

There was no “healer” for now. Lei Xiao and the others weren’t on the same floor as Shi Jian, so after saying their goodbyes, everyone returned to their respective rooms.

A streamer muttered, “Wonder if the security guards will try anything.”

Last night, a streamer staying on the same floor as Shi Jian and her group had already met a grim fate. To get back to their own room, Shi Jian and the others had to pass by that room. Although the bloodstains and damage had been repaired, Shi Jian could still faintly smell blood in the air…

It was already the final night—or more accurately, just a few hours left before the report submission deadline.

But even a few hours had to be passed in safety—no room for carelessness.

As if the security guards wouldn’t show up.

After everyone had entered their rooms, the hallway fell into silence. The bloodied and mangled “security team” reappeared, this time with a very clear goal—they charged straight toward Shi Jian’s room.

Shi Jian had left a terrible impression on them over the past two nights—especially after last night’s mimicry.

Security: Unforgivable! Tonight we deal with her first.

Tang Tian heard movement. She leaned close to the door and whispered to Shi Jian, “They’re here.”

Then she grinned and reported, “Perfect, they’re already hanging.”

Took only a few seconds.

Shi Jian grinned wide: watching the show through the peephole.

Sure enough, several bewildered security guards were hanging mid-air.

Some viewers: ???

All security guards: ???

The guards were completely confused. When the “security team” had stormed down the hallway looking to make trouble for Shi Jian, they didn’t even make it fully to the door before ropes suddenly snared their ankles—and then they were hoisted into the air.

The ropes were incredibly sturdy. No matter how hard they struggled, they couldn’t break free.

What the hell was this?!

A voice dripping with mockery rang out from behind the door, “Idiots. We knew you were coming. Of course we prepped in advance. What’s there to be surprised about?”
