The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Having figured this out, Haoziweizhi suppressed all her true emotions.

The disappointment and confusion in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a burning desire for the gift.

She put on her signature harmless, sweet smile again, gently picked up the chick, and brought it close to the camera.

"Family members, do you see that? Although it looks like a chicken, I feel that things are not that simple."

She cleared her throat and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

"Look at its eyes, don't they exude an aura of dominance?"

"I suspect it's not an ordinary chicken; it might be... the king of chickens, or simply the King Chicken!"

The screen was flooded with "hahaha" comments again.

The anchor is at it again, spouting nonsense with a straight face.

[Is this the Tyrant Chicken? Is it going to be looking for Yu Ji next?]

[It was just a giant rooster! I was terrified! I thought it was a giant rooster...]

Brother, I know exactly what you're thinking.

【Hahaha!!!】

Ignoring the teasing comments in the live chat, Haoziweizhi stretched out a finger and gently tapped the chick's head.

"Come on, Little Tyrant, show your family a special skill."

"Or rather, do you have any abilities?"

The little guy tilted his head and blinked his tiny black eyes, as if trying to understand what she was saying.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, it opened its tender yellow mouth.

Achoo!

A sneeze, carrying a tiny, sparkling... flame.

The flame was extremely weak.

It extinguishes completely in less than half a second in the air.

At last.

A wisp of extremely thin blue smoke drifted out of the chick's nostril, circled twice under the cold light of the lamp, and then disappeared without a trace.

The little chick tilted its head, staring in the direction where the blue smoke dissipated.

It closed its pale yellow mouth, and a muffled "gurgling" sound came from deep in its throat.

Its two short, thin wings flapped forcefully backward, its whole body pressed down, and its two thin legs were slightly bent.

This is a buildup of strength.

Mouse Tail Juice leaned closer to the screen, just about to make a sarcastic remark.

"puff--!!"

A fist-sized, crimson fireball suddenly shot out from the chick's beak.

The fireball traced a bright parabola in mid-air, carrying a scorching shockwave, and landed precisely on the stack of physical copies of "Wasteland Survival Guide" on the edge of the computer desk.

"boom!"

Paper is flammable when exposed to fire.

The crimson flames instantly engulfed the top two books.

The flames rapidly rolled upwards along the edge of the paper, the high temperature causing the air to distort slightly.

Sparks flew everywhere, directly igniting the oversized mousepad next to it.

"what!"

"This is a limited edition mousepad that I ordered for 300 yuan!!"

But at this moment, Mouse Tail Juice couldn't care less about any of that.

A pungent smell of burning rubber mixed with the smoke from burning paper instantly filled the small rented room.

A wave of heat hit him, making his cheeks burn.

Mouse Tail Juice paused for a second before coming to her senses.

The wiring in this old, dilapidated apartment building is extremely outdated; the old wires buried in the walls are from more than a decade ago.

If the fire spreads to the nearby synthetic fiber curtains, causing a short circuit in the wiring, it could definitely lead to a chain fire.

Forget about becoming a top streamer for Wasteland Era, she'll probably have to work as a sewing machine operator for ten years!

"ah--!!!"

The high-decibel screams pierced the microphone in the live broadcast room.

Mouse Tail Juice suddenly jumped up from the gaming chair.

She grabbed the oversized ceramic mug filled with cold water from the corner of the table.

Even the aiming action is skipped.

He picked up the cup and forcefully poured the liquid onto the burning pile of books.

"Splash!"

The water flowed out in mid-air.

Half a cup of cold water was poured onto the burning book, producing a sharp "sizzle" sound.

A large plume of white steam rose up, instantly obscuring the view of the high-definition camera.

However, the fire was not completely extinguished.

A few dry pages at the edge were still burning stubbornly, the flames licking the edge of the wooden tabletop.

The mouse tail juice was in a hurry.

She grabbed an unwashed gray-white sweatshirt draped over the back of a chair, rolled it into a ball, and frantically whipped it against the sparkling pile of papers.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

He was whipped more than twenty times in a row.

My arms are sore, and the back of my hand has several red spots from the sparks that flew up.

She only stopped when she was sure that not even a tiny spark remained, and only charred paper scraps, pasty pulp, and a pungent smell of smoke filled the air.

The hoodie in his hand had been burned with three large, charred holes.

As if utterly exhausted, Haoziwei slumped back into the chair, his chest heaving violently.

"call......"

"That scared me to death..."

The mouse tail exhaled a long, foul breath.

I have lingering fears.

Almost.

It was just a hair's breadth away from the house being gone.

On the table, the little chick that caused the trouble was curled up in a ball.

As if it knew it had done something wrong, it lowered its head, its two slender claws pacing nervously back and forth on the table, or perhaps shaking, making subtle noises as they scraped against the wooden board.

It occasionally raises its round black eyes to steal a glance at the mouse tail juice, then quickly lowers its head and makes a weak "chirping" sound.

It fully understands that it has caused trouble.

The live stream room, which had been quiet for a moment, completely erupted into chaos.

The barrage of comments refreshed so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, layer upon layer covering the entire screen.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What did I just see? A free-range chicken is breathing fire!]

【Oh my god, I know this one! Isn't that a turkey?!】

[Torchbear, use Ember! The effect is outstanding!]

[Wow, that Torchic! But wow, streamer, your pet is amazing! It looks incredible, and it can even breathe fire. This is a steal!]

Are people only concerned about a pet's aggression? Am I the only one who finds this little guy's pitiful look adorable? Ah! My girlish heart is fluttering!

I really want one, I'm not kidding!

[Who just said it was a free-range chicken? Stand up and take your punishment! Could your free-range chicken burn through a book with a single flame?]

[That's quite destructive! Although it's just a fireball, don't forget it's only just been born. Once it matures, its power will definitely be considerable!]

[That's right, imagine you encounter a mutated rat, and you just pull out a chicken and smear it in its face. The chicken breathes fire—the scene is too gruesome for me to bear!]

【Isn't there animal food? Miss, give it a try!】

[Yeah, wasn't it said that the beast food given out could raise a Servant-level pet to Adult level?]

[Feed the turkey now! I want to see it evolve!]

To be honest, I really like Blaziken, the evolved form of Torchic; it's really cool.

I'm really looking forward to it!
