Chapter 107: The Steam Engine and the Fire Extinguisher

"Is this the streamer's last-ditch effort? I wonder if he can pull anything useful. Besides, what on earth could possibly take out so many bugs?!"

"God knows! But I get the feeling the guy above is being a bit gleeful. Is it just me?"

"Hmph! Chen Bo carries the bloodline of our Great N Nation; how could he be killed by some indigenous bugs from another world? Just watch! It won't be long before the streamer shows these bugs what our Great N Nation uses to conquer the entire universe and become the world's supreme power!"

"Damn it, you shameless Korean bootlicker! The streamer is purely Chinese! He flows with the blood of Yan and Huang! How dare you little upstart nations spout such nonsense?"

"Conquering the universe, 'supreme power' indeed! Even though we in the United States are the top technological power, we aren't as shameless as that pathetic country."

"Foreign friend, don't you know? The people of that country have skin so thick a nuclear bomb couldn't pierce it. Still, they'd better hope the streamer doesn't see that and blacklist their entire country from the system."

"Don't you dare talk about my Oppas like that! Especially the celebrity Oppas who work thirty-four hours a day, filming to make all ten billion people on Earth their fans, and hold concerts thirty-two days a month. After all, their country has over a billion people; if they didn't hold that many concerts, they couldn't satisfy the entertainment demand!"

"The guy above is trolling, but that meme sounds familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere."

"Don't worry, their country was created by our Great China anyway. It doesn't matter how they jump around, hahahahahaha."

For some unknown reason, once the system initiated the prize wheel, time on the Savage Continent seemed to pause, while back on Earth, life continued as usual, with time flowing normally.

However, Chen Bo couldn't be bothered to care about such things; he wouldn't figure it out even if he racked his brain.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an 1890s steam engine from the advanced draw! This steam engine is the 'fighter jet' of steam engines! As for its specific use, please figure it out yourself, Host. The system is too lazy to waste words."

Steam Engine.
Steam.
Engine.

Chen Bo looked silently at the hulking, pitch-black mass in the system space. It had a distinct steampunk aesthetic, but it was completely useless, merely taking up space.

He'd find a time to sell it as scrap metal; maybe he could get enough for a few meals. Yes, that's exactly what he'd do!

"Pfft! A steam engine?! What is the streamer supposed to do with this? Scald the bugs to death with steam? Laughing-crying emoji."

"I think the system must have a reason for letting the streamer draw this! For example... for example... uh, for example what?"

"Let me add to that! For example, the streamer could use the steam to scald the bugs!"

"Someone already said that, and without coal, where would the steam come from? So this steam engine is completely useless. Can the streamer use it to crush the bugs?"

"Wait! You're a genius! Why didn't I think of that? This steam engine is a size larger than a tractor; if he drops it, he'll surely crush a whole swarm!"

"That actually sounds logical. If he drops a steam engine on them, he'd probably crush at least forty or fifty percent of the bugs, right?"

"Are you guys here to be funny? If a mosquito is flying in mid-air and you slap it, apart from stunning it for a second, do you really expect to kill it?"

"Exactly. Besides, could the streamer even lift this thing? He'd better not end up crushing himself instead of the bugs."

Steam engine crushing bugs.

Chen Bo felt these netizens were even less reliable than the system. Why don't they all just fly away?

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Infinite Firepower Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher from the advanced draw! With this, as long as it's not a massive conflagration, you won't have to worry about any danger! And the 'infinite firepower' is even more terrifying—the dry powder inside is truly inexhaustible!"

"Warning: Do not submerge this fire extinguisher in water, or the host will be blown into the sky to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the sun. Dangerous, flammable, and explosive item—use with caution!"

A fire extinguisher!!! Chen Bo's eyes lit up when he saw it. This thing actually seemed pretty decent! But dry powder has no lethality; it seems useless for anything other than grossing the bugs out.

He put it aside for now to see what else he could get. He still had three intermediate draws and five basic draws left!

"First a steam engine, now a dry powder fire extinguisher. The system is being mischievous again; the streamer is really getting screwed over."

"The items the streamer pulled definitely aren't the system's fault! The items from the prize wheel are random; it all depends on the streamer's luck."

"Why are you so sure?! Tell me! Are you a transmigrator?! Answer 'yes' or 'no'!"

"What does that pinyin mean? I haven't graduated elementary school yet, I don't understand. Can you type it in Chinese characters?"

"I also think the items aren't decided by the system. After all, the system really wanted that system fragment in the dungeon space earlier. How could it sabotage the streamer? It would want to help him! It must be some reason that prevents the system from helping."

"That's a good analysis. I'm speechless. In that case, the streamer's luck is just terrible!"

"A bunch of bootlicking losers defending the system! It's just a piece of code, why are you kneeling down to it? Some people are even calling it 'System Big Brother,' 'System Big Brother'—isn't it disgusting? Showing such respect to a piece of code, I'm speechless."

"Heh, I bet the guy above is either on their period or their partner is. How dare you talk about System Big Brother like that? Aren't you afraid of being blacklisted?"

"Sorry! I'm really not! No matter how strong a cultivator is, can they be stronger than firearms? Can they beat a nuclear bomb? A single nuke can destroy a large city now. Does the other world have such firepower? I'll just 'heh.' If there were a tunnel to another world, Earth would have already occupied it!"

"It's best not to talk to idiots; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
