Chapter Sixty: The Land of Earthly Delight

Originally, this kind of case would have been suppressed, kept from public knowledge.

However, at the N County Reform School, there was an enthusiastic security guard.

This guard quickly posted the entire incident online.

“Recently, the internet has been abuzz about the case of Liu Yu and Zhao Bin murdering their teacher. But since they haven’t reached fourteen years old, neither of them bears any criminal responsibility. People thought they’d get away scot-free. As the school’s security guard, I was pretty nervous. Once, I overheard these two little punks saying they’d pull a few more jobs before turning fourteen.”

“But everyone can relax now. Last night, the Chopstick Demon appeared. He killed those two punks.”

“And, there was also an old beggar, nearly eighty or ninety years old. Word is, he claimed to be from some Beggar Gang. This old beggar was formidable, fought with the Chopstick Hero for a long time, but eventually was defeated.”

Seeing the security guard’s post from the reform school, many couldn’t help but laugh: “Come on, is it really like this? An impressive beggar? Beggar Gang? Isn’t this straight out of a martial arts novel?”

“I’m Hong Qigong myself.”

“I am Qiao Feng, pleased to meet you.”

“Oh, what a coincidence, I’m Guo Jing.”

“Go away, Guo Jing. Bring Huang Rong’s wife over.”

“2333333, the guy upstairs is naughty.”

After being questioned so much, the security guard couldn’t help but retort angrily: “I saw it with my own eyes. If I’m lying, let a dog violate me.”

Seeing such a venomous oath, everyone was startled; many gasped: “This security brother is savage, daring to swear like that.”

“To be honest, I wouldn’t dare swear such a thing, not even with my seven-foot...”

“He’s admitted to being the security guard himself and made such an oath. This is probably true. If someone like the Chopstick Hero exists, why can’t other superhuman figures exist as well?” said an ID named Wandering Dragon Across the Heavens.

“Yeah, I support the guard too.”

“Let’s reflect on the Chopstick Hero’s actions. This time, he really did well, bringing satisfaction to all.”

“Honestly, when has the Chopstick Hero ever failed to bring satisfaction? Last time he dealt with human traffickers, before that he took down loan shark gangs—every case was justice served,” said an ID named Cloud Drifting.

“There aren’t many people I, Long Aotian, admire, but the Chopstick Hero is definitely one.”

“I, Long Yuantian, also respect the Chopstick Hero.”

“I, Nangong Iron Ox, am convinced.”

“I, Zhuge Iron Ox, am convinced too.”

...

Three days later.

On the largest forum in the Two Guang regions, Seaside Forum, another hot thread emerged.

“Anyone else in N County? Have you noticed some big changes here?” posted an ID named Love at N County Beach. “Used to be, there were always pickpockets on the buses in N County. But lately, they’ve nearly disappeared. The once-active motorcycle gang hasn’t been seen this month either.”

“I’ve noticed too. They’re scared of the Chopstick Hero. He’s taken down several criminals, eliminated Ma Guosheng, Lu Youwei, the human traffickers, and now those two vicious juvenile offenders. If you were a criminal, wouldn’t you be afraid?” replied another ID, Phoenix Rising to the Heavens, clearly a female.

“That makes sense.”

“That’s nothing. If you’re local, you must have heard the saying: South Ma, North Lu, East Bear, West Wolf—those are the four big bosses here. South Ma is Ma Guosheng, North Lu is Lu Youwei, East Bear is Xiong Xinxing, and West Wolf is Wolf King. Now, both South Ma and North Lu have died at the hands of the Chopstick Demon. As for East Bear, Xiong Xinxing, he’s so scared he fled to America.”

“Only West Wolf, Wolf King, remains, but he’s hiding out in Sheep City, remotely controlling things from there.”

“These big bosses have all been terrified by the Chopstick Demon. Reportedly, Wolf King’s last words before fleeing to Sheep City were: ‘Those who stay in N County must keep a low profile, absolutely avoid provoking the Chopstick Demon, or else everyone will die.’”

“With things like this, how could N County’s security not improve?” posted an ID named Love N County Tea, evidently someone with inside knowledge. Of course, this person didn’t know that the most notorious underground villain in N County, Beggar Lu, also fell to the Chopstick Demon.

His revelation left many stunned: “Damn, no way. Is the Chopstick Hero really that powerful?”

“No wonder security in N County feels unrealistically good lately.”

“Hail the Chopstick Hero!”

Now, N County feels truly safe. People dare to go out for barbecue at ten at night, no longer fearing the midnight gang attacks.

“Chopstick Hero, I want to have your babies,” posted a female netizen called Twenty-Eight Maiden, prompting a wave of replies from other women: “We want to have the Chopstick Hero’s children too.”

Such posts made people from other cities envious: “Chopstick Demon, come to West Lake City and take out some gang leaders so our city’s security improves too.”

“Stone City welcomes the Chopstick Hero,” posted a Stone City netizen.

Immediately, a Sheep City netizen replied: “Come on, your Yangtze Delta security is way better than ours in the Pearl River Delta. Chopstick Hero, you shouldn’t just stay in N County—come to all the cities in the Pearl River Delta and eliminate those criminal gang bosses.”

“Sheep City and Deep City are fine, they’re first-tier cities and security has been managed well these years. But in smaller cities, even locals feel unsafe. So, Chopstick Hero, you shouldn’t limit yourself to N County—visit everywhere and help us improve our security too,” wrote another poster, obviously from the Two Guang region.

“But the Chopstick Hero is truly pitiful. In ancient times, he would have been a legendary hero. Maybe not as celebrated as Yang Guo, the Great Eagle Hero, but certainly as famous as the Heroes of Hedong or renowned figures of the Two Guang region.”

At this moment, in a seaside cottage.

Shen Ye held his phone, scrolling through posts on Seaside Forum. As he read, a smile curled at his lips, and a sense of satisfaction welled up within.

Since he obtained the Great Hero System and embarked on the path of heroism, he had held a dream.

Killing was not merely for the sake of killing.

Those who become obsessed with murder are forever killers, unable to transcend.

His killing was meant to build a land with few criminals, where ordinary people could live in peace and happiness.

N County was now transforming into a paradise on earth.

Perhaps soon, he would have to go to Sheep City and then to cities across the nation.
