Could it be that their gaming skills have reached a heaven-defying level?

Inside the enclosed room, Luo Chen was staring intently at the screen, manipulating the protagonist in the game to ruthlessly slaughter the boss before him.

Even at the highest difficulty and enhanced multiple times, the boss failed to cause Luo Chen much trouble.

Or rather, it couldn't inflict even the slightest bit of damage on the protagonist in the game.

Luo Chen's operation was as skilled as if he had rehearsed it dozens of times. He seemed intimately familiar with all of the boss's moves, always reacting the moment the boss began a telegraphing animation and dodging in a timely manner. Although he hadn't cleared the stage yet, he had indeed achieved a truly no-damage run all the way through!

Although this was Luo Chen's first time playing this game, just like when he played Assassin's Creed last time, thanks to the cheat-like immersion and the gaming experience of other uploaders he possessed, Luo Chen became completely fluent after playing for just a little while.

With Luo Chen's current gaming technique and familiarity with the game, achieving a theoretical full no-damage run wasn't difficult. But who knew if a mistake might happen? The live broadcast would last for several hours, and the moment his attention drifted and he lost even a tiny sliver of health, the no-damage run would become a joke.

"Ah? Wait... No, don't! I was wrong! Luo Chen, save me... Wuwuwu..."

Luo Chen, who had been engrossed in brutally defeating the boss, suddenly heard a startled cry coming from the living room. With a twitch of his hand, the protagonist on the screen was violently batted away by the boss, its health bar plummeting by a full half before being instantly finished off by the remaining mobs.

Ever since the protagonist was knocked away, Luo Chen lost all desire to continue controlling it. The no-damage record was already broken; he could just replay it from the save point later.

The apartment was only about a hundred square meters, so with such a huge commotion in the living room, it was naturally impossible for Luo Chen not to hear it. Although the room had some soundproofing, Luo Tianyi had no intention of concealing anything at all, and her loud cries could be heard quite clearly from here.

Luo Chen roughly anticipated the situation in the living room, but he still felt a bit tempted to go out and take a look. It wasn't that he wanted to feast his eyes again; he was simply genuinely worried about his younger sister.

Yet, considering that going out might lead to a scene identical to the one just moments ago, it would be terribly awkward.

Luo Chen shook his head in distress. They really were acting completely uninhibited in his own home, not even pausing to consider what would happen if he happened to catch them wrestling around like that in the living room.

Listening to the cries for help coming from beside his ear, Luo Chen hesitated for a moment, ultimately deciding against going out. He had guessed nine times out of ten that Luo Tianyi had hidden something from him earlier. She was probably exposed now and was being repeatedly tormented by Yan He and Dai Xinhua.

Nothing serious would happen anyway; she would just have to fend for herself. Luo Chen couldn't be bothered to interfere anymore.

Putting on his headphones and turning up the volume, Luo Chen could finally no longer hear those annoying noises. He reloaded his save and re-entered the game.

Even though he was familiar with every single scene in this game, he still needed to practice to get his feel back, lest he make a mistake later on.

Wanting to achieve a truly flawless, no-damage clear was not that simple. If Luo Chen hadn't been confident in maintaining his absolute peak state at all times, he wouldn't have taken such a risk.

Since he had already made the declaration, to avoid eating his own words after throwing up a flag, Luo Chen was going all out...

Meanwhile, the announcement Luo Chen posted last night had long since been seen by fans who had logged online. Even the Starlight platform timely pushed out a wave of promotions. For a moment, almost every viewer and uploader active on the Starlight platform knew about it.

Highest Difficulty! Full Collection! No Damage!

Although the first two were not easy, they weren't impossible; gaming masters in the game section could achieve them. But who would dare guarantee a no-damage run during a live broadcast?

Some mini-games might allow for it, but just looking at the conditions—highest difficulty, full collection, no damage—how could it possibly be those mini-games?

And the highest difficulty of those large-scale standalone games was no joke. Just successfully clearing them was hard enough, let alone going through the whole process without taking a single drop of damage. That was basically an impossible feat.

Could it be hype?

Yet a master didn't seem to need this to gather popularity; on the contrary, if he failed to fulfill his promise, he would become the laughingstock.

Consequently, viewers speculated wildly about what game the Angel Master would live stream, but half a day passed without any conclusion. Luo Chen had consistently achieved no-damage runs when streaming Assassin's Creed, but everyone knew that Assassin's Creed didn't have a difficulty option, so the live stream content naturally couldn't be that.

Devil May Cry? Call of Duty? God of War? Uncharted?

Or something else?

With such a major event happening, without needing anyone else to remind him, Huang Ying, as a game section streamer, found out immediately. Huang Ying would never underestimate the only streamer on the Starlight platform whose popularity matched his own. In fact, to keep tabs on his rival's movements, he had deliberately followed him, contributing a bit of fan value to him.

What made Huang Ying feel deeply aggrieved, however, was that for over half a month, Luo Chen hadn't live-streamed even once, and aside from completing the Assassin's Creed series, he hadn't released any other game walkthrough videos.

Only YTP (YouTube Poop style meme videos)! It was all YTP!

This left Huang Ying, who had constantly wanted to turn the tables, deeply wounded. If the other person didn't live stream, what was he supposed to use to compete with Luo Chen?

Could he compete in YTP?

He was not that kind of all-around master; all Huang Ying possessed was pure gaming skill, but precisely because of that, he had the confidence not to lose to anyone in this domain!

No, to put it correctly, he would definitely win!

Luo Chen suddenly announcing a live game walkthrough—at the highest difficulty, with no damage—took Huang Ying completely by surprise. Could the guy really be so confident in his gaming skills and luck?

If it were just recording a single no-damage walkthrough video at the highest difficulty, Huang Ying would have no problem with it either. But doing it live required serious thought. Even with his skill level, the probability of making a gaming mistake was very low, but during a long, high-intensity live stream, he couldn't guarantee that he could keep his nerves taut the entire time.

A single tiny mistake would ruin all previous efforts. He had no idea where the other guy got his confidence from, treating the mobs and bosses in the game like mere decorations that wouldn't attack?

Or were his gaming skills truly so heaven-defying that he would never make a single mistake?

Not only did Huang Ying refuse to believe it, but other uploaders who were equally in the know didn't believe it either. Heaven-defying gaming skills?

How could that be possible?
