Chapter 21 - Beaten to the Punch? Two Treasures Appear!

"Eighty thousand?!"

Yuuto Kagami looked surprised.

He remembered that when he ended his stream last night, his followers had just barely passed ten thousand. So how had it suddenly jumped so high?

But soon, he figured it out.

Most likely, someone had uploaded clips from his previous stream to other platforms after it ended.

"That's actually a good thing."

Yuuto Kagami smiled.

The more people watched his streams, the more Science Explanation Rewards and system points he'd be able to earn.

Having thought it through, he didn't hesitate any longer and hit the Go Live button.

At that very moment—

The hundreds of thousands of viewers who had been waiting in his livestream room received the notification:

[Yuuto Kagami has gone live!]

In an instant—

Tens of thousands of people flooded in at once!

The stream platform servers even lagged for a moment under the sudden surge.

Backstage, one of the admins—who had been watching the stream backend since 5 a.m.—broke into a cold sweat.

Thank goodness he had anticipated the demand and upgraded the server capacity in time.

If not, it might've crashed under the traffic!

"Yuuto Kagami is live!"

Meanwhile—

At the Supernatural Phenomena Security Bureau, the same group of high-level officials had gathered again.

Compared to yesterday, these bigwigs looked visibly different—mentally sharper, but also more tense.

"I wonder what kind of treasure Yuuto Kagami will find today."

"Honestly, yesterday's Devil Fruit and Leaf Village forehead protector were already beyond imagination."

"Hey, Old Li, I heard your department sent out a bunch of people searching for Devil Fruits and ninja items. Any luck?"

"You tell me. Look at my face. Can't you guess?"

Back in the livestream—

The chat had already gone wild:

"HOLY SHT HOLY SHT HOLY SHT!"*

"Brother Fan is live! Grandpa, the streamer you've waited a lifetime for is finally here!"

"Haha! I'm first in the room!"

"Finally! Streamer, I heard you have superpowers—can you show us?"

"Hmph, I wanna see if you're the real deal or just full of it!"

"Brothers! One night apart feels like three years! How's everyone doing?"

"I'm exhausted... didn't sleep a wink last night."

"No way, you seriously camped in the stream all night?"

"Not quite. I spent the whole night running through every fruit shop and costume store in the city. Still didn't find any Devil Fruits or ninja artifacts!"

"Same! I even went to the farmer's market at 3 a.m.—still came up empty!"

"Damn! Why didn't I think of that? I just went to bed instead!"

"This place is full of paid actors. Running around town for fruit? Get real. You're all acting like this is legit!"

"Bro, just leave. My mom told me not to argue with idiots."

Within seconds, the number of viewers had already broken yesterday's peak.

It climbed rapidly until it hit 300,000, finally slowing down.

And among these viewers, many were newcomers—people who hadn't seen yesterday's broadcast.

Naturally, many of them were skeptical about Yuuto Kagami's powers and the "treasures" he showcased.

But Yuuto Kagami didn't let it bother him.

He simply raised his hand and greeted the stream.

"Hello, everyone."

"I'm Yuuto Kagami, your resident treasure-hunting science streamer."

He glanced at the chat and continued:

"Looks like we've got a lot of new friends today. I see some of you are skeptical and want me to show my powers live on stream."

"But there's no need to rush."

"No need to rush?"

"Tch! Just admit it—you're scared to show anything 'cause it'll expose you as a fake!"

"Can you guys shut up? If you don't believe it, just leave. Otherwise, sit down and watch in silence."

"Today..."

"Let's start by searching for a new treasure!"

"666! New treasure incoming?"

"Wonder what it'll be—another Devil Fruit? A Naruto item?"

"Or something entirely new?!"

"Something new?! Let's gooo! Forget the Devil Fruits—I want a fresh treasure!"

"As for what exactly we'll find today..."

"I'm not too sure myself. We'll only know once we find it."

Yuuto Kagami responded casually to the stream and began walking along the city streets.

But as he walked—

He quickly noticed something strange.

More and more people were watching him. Some were even raising their phones to snap pictures.

One young man, looking nervous and excited, even rushed over to ask for a selfie.

"Why does this feel like I'm a celebrity?"

Yuuto Kagami chuckled inwardly, feeling a bit amused.

He didn't stop them—these were obviously viewers who had seen his stream or the reposted clips.

Before long, Yuuto Kagami arrived at the entrance of a public park.

There were several street vendors set up outside, mostly selling children's toys. Nearby, kids played and ran around laughing.

It was here that Yuuto Kagami's steps suddenly came to a halt.

"Hmm? Brother Fan just stopped!"

"Could it be? A treasure here?!"

"Wait... this is just a park. What kind of treasure could be in a park? A Devil Fruit?"

"No idea! Yuuto, say something—did you find something?!"

Under thousands of expectant gazes—

Yuuto Kagami smiled at the camera and said:

"Looks like I'm having some good luck today."

"We've already found a new treasure!"

"No way! He really found one?!"

"Where is it? Where?!"

"Let's gooo! Brother Fan's luck is off the charts today—he found something this fast?!"

"Why am I getting excited like I'm the one hunting treasure? My heart's pounding!"

"I can't wait! Hurry up, Yuuto—show us what it is!"

The chat exploded with hype.

No one expected him to find something so soon!

Under their watchful gaze, Yuuto Kagami moved forward—

[Ding!]

[12 o'clock direction, 32 meters ahead — Multiverse Treasure detected!]

"12 o'clock… That's straight ahead."

Following the system radar's guidance, Yuuto Kagami proceeded forward.

But after just a few steps—

He suddenly stopped again, a flicker of surprise on his face.

"What happened?"

"Why did he stop?!"

"Did the treasure vanish?"

"No way... don't tell me today's treasure is alive again, like the Demonic Serpent!"

"Shush! Let me focus!"

Indeed—

Yuuto Kagami was a little surprised.

Because—

[Ding!]

[12 o'clock direction, 8 meters ahead — Multiverse Treasure detected!]

According to the radar, two red dots had appeared.

In other words—

Two treasures had shown up!

And even more surprising—

They were located in the exact same spot!
