Live-Streaming Authenticity Checks: Filming a Real Dragon as a Prop

Zhou Zheng is a struggling streamer buried in debt. By chance, he binds himself to a bizarre truth-verification System with rules that defy common sense: the more viewers insist that what they see on screen is fake, the stronger he becomes! When a real dragon appears, he calls it an Yiwu prop. When an evil spirit shows up, he laughs and says it's a special effect from a film crew. While others kneel in terror before the supernatural, he suppresses monsters that feed on people's beliefs with a single word: "Fake." His rival, the "Truth Emperor," desperately tries to glorify falsehoods and lure viewers into blind worship. Zhou Zheng's livestream never gives anyone the answers. He simply points the camera at the strange phenomena and lets everyone see for themselves and make up their own minds. He isn't a chosen hero who slays demons and exorcises evil. At first, he's just an ordinary man afraid of being unable to repay his debts and terrified of bizarre, uncanny events. Through livestreaming, he gradually comes to understand that laughter isn't foolishness, and that skepticism has power. More important than destroying gods and monsters is breaking the chains of awe and fear. In the end, the livestream that lets the whole nation verify the truth doesn't feature any earth-shattering battle. Instead, it leaves the decision to hundreds of millions of viewers. Neither gods nor Systems define what is true or false. The real meaning of the livestream is giving every ordinary person the power to decide for themselves.
