Chapter 2 is sensational. The superpower level is at least level three, maybe even level four...
The audience, with their eyes closed, heard a loud bang and knew that the battle had most likely come to an end.
Many people are already imagining the terrible scene of the streamer having his abdomen pierced by the needle.
But... why didn't I hear the streamer scream? Instead, it sounded like a pig squealing.
The viewers opened their eyes in disbelief, only to be shocked to find that the anchor, whom they thought would be seriously injured if not killed, was standing unharmed, with one of his long legs slowly retracting.
Under a tree a dozen meters away in the direction his long legs were pointing, the wild boar lay on the ground, its body twisted and twitching twice before becoming still.
Immediately afterwards, the tree behind the wild boar, which was at least half a meter in diameter, snapped in half with a crack and fell to the ground with a thud.
What just happened?!
[Why is the streamer okay, but the wild boar is down??]
[Can't you see it?! The wild boar got kicked flying by the streamer! Its spine was probably broken.]
[It wasn't just the spine; the tree behind it was snapped in two by the impact of the wild boar. I bet its internal organs were smashed to pieces!]
[This strength... it must be something only a power-enhancing ability user could possess!]
[Ahhh! The streamer is so cool! I declare this streamer my new crush from today onwards!]
Those viewers who had closed their eyes listened to the others' chatter and regretted it immensely, secretly thinking that they would watch the replay after the broadcast ended!
The audience was excited and got carried away, throwing gifts at the crowd.
Lu Xuan remained remarkably calm as he listened to the screen filled with praise and the constant notifications of gifts dropping.
The mutation of plants and animals is not limited to the interstellar era.
In the third year of the apocalypse, all the plants and animals on Earth mutated, becoming extremely ferocious and devouring humans.
The animals here are just ordinary animals, and compared to the mutated beasts, they can even be described as small and cute.
Lu Xuan went over to check on the wild boar and found that it was a sow. He had an idea and walked around the area. As expected, he found two half-grown pigs.
Before the viewers in the live stream could react, two half-grown wild boars also collapsed to the ground.
When Lu Xuan went over and picked up the wild boars, they discovered that the eyes and back of the heads of the two half-grown wild boars had been pierced.
It was obvious that Lu Xuan had fired another stone, instantly shattering the wild boar's brain and killing it instantly.
The audience clicked their tongues in disapproval, unable to help but feel pity for the tragically killed wild boar.
You know what, you really have to admit, although Lu Xuan's fighting style wasn't particularly exciting or thrilling, this simple, brutal, yet incredibly efficient method was truly amazing!
Some viewers, confident in their strength and accuracy, even secretly planned to go outside and get some pebbles to try and show off their skills.
The harvest of three wild boars was already quite substantial, and although it was still early, Lu Xuan decided to head home.
He found some sturdy vines and tied the three wild boars' limbs tightly, then casually hoisted them up and turned to leave with ease.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned.
[Holy crap! Those three wild boars must weigh at least 600 or 700 pounds combined, and he lifted them so easily!? Didn't they say that ancient humans didn't undergo any genetic mutations? Don't try to fool me if I'm not well-educated!]
[The streamer is a power-type ability user, so of course he's different from other ancient humans.]
[That's too easy! Are all strength-enhancing ability users this skilled?]
[What are you thinking? I'm also a strength-based ability user; I can only lift a maximum of 300 pounds.]
After seeing this comment, Lu Xuan said coolly, "Is it possible that it's because you're too bad at the game?"
【？？？】
[That really hurts, streamer!]
[The anchor actually told the truth! Hahaha!]
[This strength certainly doesn't seem to be low-level. Judging by how easily the streamer walks, 600-700 jin is clearly not his limit. His ability level is at least level three, maybe even level four.]
Level 4 ability users aren't actually considered particularly high; in interstellar space, they'd be considered average at best.
The problem is that Lu Xuan lived in an era that was considered very backward by the people of the interstellar world, the 'ancient era', and the number of people with superpowers in that era should have been quite rare.
This has made viewers eagerly anticipate how many surprises and interesting live stream content Lu Xuan will bring them in the future.
Thinking of this, viewers who had only entered by chance couldn't help but click to follow, and the number of fans in the live stream surged again.

Lu Xuan returned to Yunlu Village with a large number of prey, instantly causing a huge sensation.
Many villagers rushed to the Lu family's house upon hearing the news, and were immediately in an uproar when they saw three wild boars lying in the open space outside the courtyard.
"My God! So many wild boars, did that Lu family kid hunt them all?!"
"How much meat would that yield?!"
"I never realized Lu Xuan had this ability!"
"Wasn't he always a bit slow-witted? Even if he were really skilled, he wouldn't know how to hunt."
The villagers discussed excitedly, their eyes filled with amazement as they looked at Lu Xuan. Some, however, looked at Lu Xuan, who had previously been considered a fool, with disbelief on their faces.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Qing ran out of her house and looked at the wild boar outside the yard with astonishment in her eyes.
"Ah Xuan, did you really hunt all these wild boars?"
Lu Xuan nodded, looked at his younger brother Lu Chen, whose eyes were shining as he followed behind Lu Qing, waved to him, and handed him the basket he was carrying on his back. "Take this home and put it away. Also, bring the knife from home."
Lu Chen curiously peeked inside and found some mushrooms on top, and below the mushrooms was a basket full of wild eggs, almost half full.
The little guy instinctively hugged the basket tightly, looking around warily, as if afraid someone would try to take his things. Then he quickly ran home with the basket in his arms.
Everyone else's attention was focused on the wild boar, and even those who noticed the activity didn't pay much attention, assuming that Lu Xuan had simply picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms while hunting.
The villagers can pick those things too, there's no shortage of them, how can they compare to wild boar meat!
Someone in the crowd couldn't wait any longer and shouted at Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, what are you going to do with this wild boar?"
Other villagers also pressed, "Are you selling them for money? Could you exchange some for us first?"
There are also hunters in the village. Occasionally, when they catch large game, they will sell some to the villagers at a lower price. This is a common practice.
Lu Xuan used to be a fool. Even though he was already twenty years old, Lu Qing, his older sister, always had to handle things for him.
Now that he has recovered, the situation is different. Lu Qing is already married, and there are no other elders in the Lu family. Naturally, everyone directly asked Lu Xuan, the true head of the Lu family.
Lu Qing had no objections to this; she was happier than anyone else that her younger brother had made something of himself.
Lu Xuan had already arranged where the prey would go, and replied directly: "I will take one of the three wild boars, the big one and the small one, to town to sell for money. The other, slightly larger one, can be traded to the villagers. Rice, flour, grain, and eggs are all acceptable."
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately estimated the weight of the slightly larger piglet, estimating it to be around 170 or 180 jin (approximately 85-90 kg), and about 120 jin (approximately 60 kg) of meat.
Yunlu Village has more than 40 households. On average, each household can exchange for three or four catties of meat, which is quite a lot. There is no need to worry about not being able to exchange for it.
However, exchanging only one head of meat means there will be far fewer choices. The best parts of meat are limited, so it's definitely first come, first served!
Thinking of this, many villagers became anxious and rushed home to fetch grain or eggs to exchange for meat.
Lu Xuan took the knife from his younger brother and prepared to cut the meat on the spot. Seeing this, Lu Qing hurriedly went home to get a knife to help.
Lu Xuan stopped her, pointing to the wild rabbits and pheasants placed to the side, and said, "Sister, can you help me clean these up? We'll cook them later."
Lu Qing hesitated, "Can you clean up the pig by yourself?"
"Let us help!" Li Jing, the eldest son of the village chief, and Zhang Chengming, a neighbor who had a good relationship with the Lu family, stepped out from the crowd and rolled up their sleeves.
They figured that although the Lu family used to be butchers, Lu Xuan's circumstances were special, so he probably hadn't been able to learn the skills of a master butcher from his uncle. Therefore, they would still have to take the lead in handling wild boars.
But when Lu Xuan made a move, the two were surprised to find that the boy's skills were surprisingly clean and efficient, and his every move had a sense of proficiency as if he had been trained a thousand times.
Zhang Chengming and Li Jing stared wide-eyed. After a moment, Zhang Chengming excitedly patted Lu Xuan on the shoulder and praised, "Good lad, worthy of being Uncle Lu's son!"
Lu Qing was also quite surprised when she noticed her younger brother's actions.
The viewers in the live stream were amazed.
The streamer's actions were as cold and ruthless as someone who had slaughtered pigs in a slaughterhouse for ten years.
[The streamer is an all-rounder—she can hunt and prepare the game!]
Of course, some viewers also raised questions.
[Don't you guys find it strange? Wasn't it said that the streamer had been mentally challenged for over ten years, with an intelligence level similar to a child? Why is the streamer so skilled?]
My brother is a mutant beast hunter, but even after five or six years, he's not as skilled at handling prey as the streamer.
[According to other villagers' discussions, the Lu family used to be butchers; perhaps it's an instinct ingrained in their genes?]
[Pfft—! What the hell is this about instinct? I've never heard of genes teaching humans how to handle prey. Is the person upstairs joking?]
The audience discussed it for a long time without reaching a conclusion. Lu Xuan was busy dealing with the wild boar and didn't pay attention to the comments. In the end, he could only give up for the time being and thought he would ask the streamer later.
While Lu Xuan was cutting up the different parts of the pig, the villagers who wanted to exchange meat went home to fetch their grain and spontaneously lined up.
"Young Lu, give your aunt three catties of pork belly." A smiling middle-aged woman handed the coarse grains to Lu Xuan and praised him, "You're so capable, Qing'er can rest assured from now on! Your family's life will definitely get better and better."
Lu Xuan casually handed over the meat the other person wanted, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words, Auntie."
With him around, the Lu siblings would naturally not suffer anymore.
The people in line behind them were equally effusive in their praise when exchanging their meat, while also reflecting on the hardships the Lu family had faced in the past and feeling deeply moved.
When Lu Xuan was born, the original owner of this body looked lively and intelligent, but after a few years, it was discovered that he was a little fool.
The villagers of Yunlu Village were fairly simple and honest. Apart from some wives from other villages who married into the village and whose whispers were overheard by the ignorant children, who would then tease the original owner of the house like a fool, the adults never bullied him.
The villagers are all poor; they're too busy working to earn enough to eat, so they don't have the time or inclination to bully a fool.
Now that Lu Xuan is better, most people are happy for Lu Qing. Some of the aunties who usually like to play matchmaker are inevitably getting restless.
Lu Xuan's appearance wasn't exactly stunning, but it wasn't bad either. At 1.8 meters tall, he stood out from the crowd in the entire village.
Lu Xuan's eyes used to always reveal the innocence and simplicity that only a child could have, making it impossible for anyone to have any other thoughts. But now, there is an indescribable feeling in those exceptionally calm and composed eyes, which makes some of the young women blush.
Moreover, with Lu Xuan's excellent hunting skills, how could a girl who marries into the Lu family possibly worry about not having enough meat?
Lu Xuan was completely unaware of the thoughts of the village women. He said to the young woman in front of him, "I have a use for the front leg meat. You can look at the other parts."
Su Ying gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, glanced softly at Lu Xuan, and said in a soft voice, "Didn't you say you'd trade this whole pig? Why won't you let me trade it now that I want the front leg meat? Brother Lu, are you teasing me on purpose? But I really love eating front leg meat, what am I going to do?"
As she spoke, the hint of coquetry became increasingly obvious.
A note from the author:

Recommended completed romance novel: "The Landlord's Daughter's Blind Dates" [Let me check it out]
——
Synopsis: Shen Taohua was reborn as the only daughter of the Shen family in Taohua County.
My parents have a harmonious relationship, we own thousands of acres of fertile land, and our annual income is over ten thousand. We are waited on hand and foot, and our life can be summed up in one word—it's incredibly comfortable.
She was bound to the marriage system when she turned fifteen and came of age.
Shen Taohua, who has lived a life of unbridled freedom: What use is this system to me?
*
According to the system, the higher the compatibility, the more harmonious the married life will be.
She went out on the street and scanned the results; the match rates were 30%, 40%, 35%, 50%...
None of them reached the passing grade of 60.
She slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Aha! Even the heavens are against my marriage!"
If I were to marry him, wouldn't it be a complete mess? I can't marry him! Absolutely not!
After two long years, her parents finally started arranging marriages for her.
Shen Taohua didn't understand why she had to get married. Wouldn't it be better to be a lazy bum who lives off his father?
Besides, what kind of grotesque and deformed people are they looking for?
He has countless female confidantes, and each of them is a playboy who claims to be doing his own thing.
Let her use her dowry to support her whole family and then support him, a gigolo who takes the imperial examinations.
A seemingly perfect match, but actually, the strong, childhood sweetheart has someone else in his heart;
She's lied to me countless times, yet my cousin, with his love-struck mind, still treats her like his first love…
Shen Taohua frowned: What kind of extraordinary and bizarre creatures are these? They're too outrageous.
Getting married is absolutely out of the question!
*
After finally managing to ruin everything with all these people, thinking she could enjoy the good life all to herself, Xie Zhuo appeared with his astonishing compatibility.
Match Rate: 99%!
A match made in heaven!
Shen Taohua: ??? Don't take my lack of education seriously. Is this compatibility score even real?
What's the difference between this and forcing her to stand there and perform the wedding ceremony?!
*
*
Xie Zhuo: "After we get married, you can manage the money and buy whatever you want. If you're worried about being mistreated, I can move in with you."
Shen Taohua: "!?" The bottom line is set so low? Who wouldn't be tempted by this?
Shen Taohua: Oh, it's me. It's alright then.
Shen Taohua proudly declared, "Even if we're not married, I'll still manage the Shen family's vast fortune!"
Xie Zhuo narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, as if deep in thought: "So, you mean that with the Shen family's fortune gone, you have no choice but to submit to me?"
Shen Taohua: "???"
*
One day, Shen Taohua noticed something that looked very familiar in Xie Zhuo's study and couldn't help but point at it and ask, "What is this?"
Xie Zhuo smiled: "The chopsticks you used."
Shen Taohua's eyelids twitched wildly: "What's that next to it?"
Xie Zhuo continued smiling: "The handkerchief you used to wipe your mouth."
Shen Taohua's lips twitched: "..."
Xie Zhuo pursed his thin lips slightly: "And..."
Shen Taohua: "!" Father! Mother! Help!!!
