The incident at the Taiyuan Ice Dungeon blew up for various reasons.
It started with Qin Mian's livestream, where Shen Yuan appeared, much to everyone's surprise.
Just like what Shen Yuan expected, the public was quite scandalized to see a prized S-Class awakener working as a simple Dungeon Marshal. For them, an S-Class awakener like Shen Yuan should enjoy the perks and government subsidies and not work as the guardian angel of lower-class hunters.
Take Bai Tingfeng, for example. Shen Yuan's husband only goes to a dungeon if a high-difficulty dungeon appears. Most of the time, he's working behind the scenes and is responsible for the overall operations of Baihu Clan.
Xia Jinhai is also a well-known personality despite his relatively low-key occupation. Being the head of the Intelligence Department, he's more inclined to work on leadership and is a frequent face on TV interviews whenever a massive case occurs.
