4 Chapter 4 Professional Skill max

"Looking back at the evolution of humanity, if our ancestors hadn't possessed the courage for adventure and imagination, the willingness to innovate, and the grandeur of spirit and magnificent sentiment to make sacrifices, humans would never have surfed the seas in canoes, exploring the infinite mysteries of the oceans beyond."

Curiosity sparked the impulse for adventure, and adventure ignited the torch of civilization.

Adventure isn't just about the natural world's oceans and mountains, deserts and swamps; it also lies within densely populated cities."

"My name is Bi Fang, a professional outdoor explorer. Here, I'll show you how to survive in some of the most dangerous places on Earth, where without professional skills, you wouldn't last even a day."

"This time, I've come to Qinling, and I'll find a way to survive on foot in this well-preserved primeval forest!"

The drone flew rapidly, with the black mountains and forests coming into view, covering everything beneath its lens.

The wind blew across millions of hectares of forest—it was an ocean, a vast green sea, with thousands upon thousands of tree crowns swaying in the wind, forming wave upon wave of foliage.

The light of the sky cast tree shadows on Bi Fang; his tall and slender figure seemed so small and unreachable under the giant trees of the mountains, but the confidence in his speech gave an overwhelmingly strong impact.

By foot alone?

Is it possible?

The audience felt their legs go weak.

[Damn, this visual, this rhetoric, it's fire.]

[So thrilling, this is my first time watching this, should I prepare some tissues? (joking)]

[Isn't this more hype than 'Boruto'?]

Looking at the camera, Bi Fang pulled the stunned audience back to reality.

"Since we have already figured out the direction, it's time to plan our survival route."

"I won't return the way Grandpa De sent me; that would be boring. Therefore, choosing the right direction to move forward is crucial."

"In Qinling, I choose to head south because south of Qinling is a subtropical climate, warm and humid, with richer natural resources, which is more suitable for our survival."

With top wilderness survival skills, coupled with experiences from a past life, Bi Fang was confident, with a clear thought process, and as he walked, he explained his survival plan to the audience.

"Next, the task is to find a river. On one hand, we need water; on the other hand…"

"Looking at history, we can see that rivers are the cradle of civilizations, and one of the most vital conditions for the survival of living beings. As long as you follow a river, you can usually find populated areas."

"And once we find people, our survival is considered a success."

Bi Fang's tone was steady, which, in the eerie primeval forest, made him seem even more composed and calm.

Finding a river meant finding hope for survival.

Because a river brings not only water but also the key to survival, a compass to civilization!

[Though the host is young, look at this analysis—just one word, professional!]

[Convincing evidence.jpg]

[Kanagawa・Maple Maple has sent the host a membership card*1—following the wave]

[But now that the old man has left, leaving only the host, why does it feel so creepy?]

[Yeah, I didn't feel it at first, but now with only the host left, in the deep forest and thickets, it's like watching a horror movie...]

"It's perfectly normal."

As for the audience's reaction, Bi Fang was quite unconcerned; he had felt the same way during his first entry into the primeval forest: the claustrophobic environment, isolated from the outside world, dangerous flora and fauna...

"Feeling uncomfortable in an unfamiliar environment is a very important aspect of wilderness survival. Maintaining an optimistic mindset is crucial; only with a positive attitude can you have the confidence to overcome difficulties. Now that difficulties have arisen, there's no need to make the situation worse."

A coin has two sides, and so do situations; you can't just focus on the negative and ignore the positive.

As an expert in wilderness survival, keeping optimistic is how you ensure your body and mind stay in good condition. This not only cultivates one's character but also helps to tap into one's potential.

But it's clear that mindset alone isn't enough; skill is equally important.

Even basic walking requires attention to detail.

"During our journey, we must be careful not to take large strides. Instead, keep your steps moderate, light, and relaxed. Also, don't lift your feet too high; drag them. This can relieve leg muscles and conserve energy without affecting your speed."

"Additionally, make your walk as natural and smooth as possible, not causing fatigue and strain to the body."

"To achieve this, you need to control your limb movements, avoid excessive fatigue in your legs, and distribute the pressure that occurs during walking across your feet and arms."

Bi Fang, while ascending the slope, hunched his body low, relaxed his back and leaned forward slightly, his legs a bit bent, his head and arms lowered, stabilizing his entire center of gravity on his lower body. He coordinated his breathing with his steps, making his walk steady and energy-efficient.

Even though taking long strides often feels powerful,

endurance is more important for wilderness treks. Ample physical strength is the foundation of all activities.

[So handsome, it shocked the Central Committee, has sent a Plane*1 to the streamer—Seeing that posture, you know he's a veteran of uphill streaming.]

[That goodnight w has sent 100 Fish Balls to the streamer—It's all in the details.]

[Feels like the streamer knows so much, even walking has so many particulars.]

"It's not that I know a lot, I just knew it before you all did; now you know too, right?"

Bi Fang laughed in the face of the audience's compliments, completely unfazed.

[Damn, with just that saying from the streamer, I'm a fan.]

[Blue Seaweed has sent 300 Fish Balls to the streamer—For knowing beforehand, I'm in love.]

[Kanagawa・Maple Maple has sent a Shark Fin*1 to the streamer]

[Sending over a small gray plane]

"Thank you, thanks everyone for your support!"

Bi Fang was somewhat delighted, thanking each of his fans who sent gifts. This was the first time he had received so many gifts, which held special meaning.

The gifts on Shark Live Stream are divided into several tiers, with a Super Rocket costing 2000, a Yacht 1314, a Rocket 500, a Plane 100, a Membership Card 6, a Weak Chicken 0.2, and a Thumbs Up 0.1.

Additionally, there are Fish Balls, gifted in units of 100, with 100 Fish Balls equaling 0.1 yuan.

A Shark Fin costs 1 yuan each, and sending a certain number per month in a room can lead to a level-up.

Among these, the Plane is special; the streamer gets an 80% commission from this gift, rather than 50%

In other words, with just that wave of gifts, Bi Fang had earned almost two hundred!

You could throw an extra sausage into your instant noodles now!

The situation was looking great!

This made Bi Fang breathe a sigh of relief, as he had managed to keep the audience interested.

Actually, before this live stream, he did not have much confidence.

Although a theme like Wilderness Survival Skill is always popular as it's full of useful information, no matter the world, live streaming and edited videos are fundamentally different formats.

Videos from Bear Grylls and Grandpa De are like a proper meal, nutritionally balanced, orderly, from appetizers to soup, to the final dessert and drink, even the plating is immaculate, dense with information, leaving the audience satisfied and full.

Live streaming is more like snacks; as long as it's not too horrible, most people don't care about the nutrition and just want something to keep their mouths busy.

For example, the boring trekking that Bi Fang was doing would definitely be cut from a video, but not from a live stream, so the density of information is lower.

Therefore, interaction with and involvement of the audience is extremely important, which is also the most appealing aspect of live streaming.

At this moment, the audience's sense of participation was very strong!

The temperature of the live broadcast room gradually rose, and the number of viewers steadily increased, lifting Bi Fang's spirits. His legs no longer ached, his back no longer felt sore, and he traversed the forest as if it were flat ground, covering several hundred meters in a single breath.

"However, even though our plan is simple, carrying it out is not easy."

"In November 2019, during a mountain climbing trip organized by an outdoor club in Xiaxi, one person went missing. At the time, there were no less than seven professional rescue teams, including the local villagers; over 150 people searched, finding the swollen, dehydrated, and unconscious climber only after five days."

"The trapped climber related that he just wanted to take photos at the top of the mountain, but the fog was too dense to take pictures. Just as he decided to return, he found himself lost, all in less than ten minutes."

"Even when I travel, I never change my route on a whim, and always prepare all kinds of supplies and tools just in case."

As he walked, Bi Fang tried to make the process of trekking more interesting while cautioning the viewers not to recklessly imitate him.

These examples are all real, information he had gathered and noted down a few days ago.

At the same time, this was also the speaking style of Bear Grylls from his past life, which he was deliberately emulating.

Every successful project has its merits worth adopting. Bear Grylls was so popular in his previous life—it would be a waste not to copy...ahem, not to learn from him. Surely Bear Grylls couldn't cross worlds just to hit him, right?

It's just unreasonable.

And looking at the rising popularity of this live stream room, Bear Grylls, forever a legend!
