Chapter 16: An Invitation from the Guild

“One of the six major wilderness survival skills is searching for water sources, and among them, finding water sources based on animals is an essential ability.”

Bi Fang climbed over a hill, listening carefully to the various sounds in the forest, hoping to hear the sound of flowing water, while sharing some experience with the audience.

“Places where cattails, sand willows, horse lotus, gold needles, and wood mustard grow have higher water levels and better water quality. In a forest, if a particular area has trees that sprout early or wither late, it indicates the presence of underground water. Some plants, like willow trees and Chinese parasol trees, only grow where water is present. You can find underground water below them.”

“In summer, areas with mosquito and insect gatherings, frogs, large ants, and snails usually have water. These are the basis for my judgment.”

It turns out that wilderness survival is not about physical strength, but rich knowledge!

Yes, Bi Fang’s knowledge reserves are terrifying.

It’s not entirely dependent on knowledge. If you were to have another equally knowledgeable old professor, could he do as much? I’m afraid he would be exhausted after just sitting for a while.

Yes, I want to know.

Upon hearing Bi Fang mention the concept of the six major skills, the audience’s curiosity was immediately piqued.

“Of course, no problem.”

Bi Fang nodded. His other purpose for live broadcasting was to teach everyone essential knowledge for wilderness survival: “The first of the six major skills is not to fight without any assurance. Be fully prepared when traveling in the wild.”

“Second, learn to identify directions and not get lost.”

“Three, learn to find water sources.”

“Four, learn to send out distress signals.”

“Five, be able to identify food and learn to hunt.”

“Six, learn to rescue yourself and not panic in the face of trouble.”

“By possessing most of these six points, we can handle most situations with ease.”

Wow, Bi Fang’s experiences are so rich. He must have been to a lot of places, right?

How to scientifically survive in the wild (dog head)

Knowledge is power!

The path in the mountains gradually becomes more gentle, indicating that Bi Fang is getting closer to the bottom of the uphill slope, and there are more types of plants around.

Bi Fang took a deep breath, and the moist air flowed into his chest through his respiratory tract, finally taking away the waste gas.

No doubt about it, the water source is nearby!

Unable to endure his thirst, Bi Fang quickened his pace and crossed another mound of dirt…

“Gurgle, gurgle…”

The sound of tiny flowing water suddenly came. Bi Fang turned his head and laughed at the camera: “Do you hear that? The sound of flowing water.”

A clear comparison (thumbs up).

Listening to this sound, I feel thirsty even if I’m not.

Wuhu, there’s water to drink now!

Bi Fang took a big stride, quickly jumping across several big trees and rushing out of the woods. The view that was blocked suddenly became wide and open.

Just as he thought!

A small stream, three or four meters wide, flowed slowly from west to east.

The water hit the rocks on the riverbed, splashing up clear water droplets. The stones below had been smoothed by the water’s flow over the years.

The dense trees blocked the sunlight, leaving only scattered specks of light on the ground, swaying with the wind. This season was the time when vegetation flourished, and the wild grass grew layer upon layer, resembling thick layers of blankets.

What a sight!

Bi Fang looked across the stream, his heart filled with joy.

What a beautiful stream, it’s so clear!

Now I really want to visit the Qinling!

Forget it. This kind of view isn’t found in the tourist area, only available in uninhabited wildernesses. Sadly, I don’t have the ability to navigate such areas; only the live viewers can enjoy this beauty.

Bi Fang couldn’t resist any longer. He crouched down and stretched his hand into the stream. The cool water flowed over his fingertips, washing away the clamor and fatigue from his body.

He washed his hands, and then cupped them together to drink from the stream. Initially, he took a few sips, but then he decided to submerge his entire face into the stream, sucking the water in.

“Glug, glug…”

“Ah, that’s refreshing!”

After drinking several mouthfuls of water, Bi Fang stood up straight and took a deep breath. He felt that his stamina had recovered quite a bit.

The water tastes so sweet!

Seeing Bi Fang like this makes me thirsty too.

Look, he’s like a dragon drinking water!

Drinking raw water? Is it safe?

Of course, it’s safe! It’s spring water. Didn’t you know that your bottled water takes pride in being from a mountain spring?

“Ahem, well, I wouldn’t say that,” Bi Fang coughed, wiping his mouth and explaining, “Actually, due to the increasing pollution, authentic mountain spring water is rare these days. Even if it’s genuine, it usually goes through processing. Most manufacturers use groundwater nowadays; that’s the water you can drink directly.”

“But I was really too thirsty, and this stream has a strong flow with a good self-cleaning ability. I only drank a little, but if it’s possible, it’s best to boil the water to be safe. Many common diseases, including cholera, hepatitis A, and giardiasis, are caused by drinking unclean water.”

“Also, I’d like to share some knowledge with you all. When you’ve been thirsty for a long time, never drink a large quantity of water at once. You must sip it slowly, or else it can cause severe vomiting, and your body won’t be able to absorb it effectively!”

Bi Fang continued to drink, but this time his movements were noticeably slower, taking small sips.

Aren’t these knowledge points? Why isn’t the class representative taking notes?

Stop scolding, I’m taking notes now.

Will there be a test (sarcastic)?

Malt Sugar sent the host 10 gift cards* – I don’t know any of these diseases.

Good Nightw sent the host 1 airplane* – It’s supposed to be a giveaway question, how did you still get it wrong?

With time passing, the number of people in the live broadcast room increased rapidly, easily exceeding a hundred.

It was evident that Bi Fang’s performance yesterday had attracted a large number of fans, and almost all of those present today had watched him yesterday.

Lu Junming was no exception. As an employee of an internet celebrity agency, it was his job to find quality hosts and sign contracts with them.

He would also help boost the popularity of hosts under his wing by using high-tier accounts to show support, in other words, using his high-level account to help them improve their performance.

Yesterday, he happened to open the outdoor live broadcast section on his phone and entered the so-called “Fang God” live broadcast. He was astonished to see the host fighting snakes in the primeval forest, building shelters, and even making fire by drilling wood!

Who dares to live stream like this without fearing for their life?

It must be fake!

As an experienced person like Lu Junming, of course, he wouldn’t easily believe it. He was sure that behind this host, there must be a complete team, otherwise, how could they dare to be so reckless?

He had seen this type of trick before: appearing to suffer on the surface, but once the live broadcast was over, they would be enjoying good food and drinks.

However, the live broadcast format was indeed very attractive, and one could say that it had created a new trend in outdoor live streaming. The popularity was high, and if he could sign the host to his company, it would be a great accomplishment!

Promotion and pay raise would be just around the corner!

Lu Junming, however, did not contact the host right away. Instead, he logged into his alternate account to continue watching the next morning.

After all, the host was a newcomer, and rushing to sign a contract might lead to them becoming arrogant. It was better to hold off for a while.

It was precisely because of this that he dared to verify. The host had no recommendation, and their traffic was not high, let alone being in the less popular outdoor section. Lu Junming stumbled upon their broadcast by accident, not fearing other guilds taking the bait first!

Having observed the host for a long time, it was time to put his alternate account aside, switch to his emperor account, and show off!

Once the host sees this emperor account, signing a contract would be as easy as pie!
