Chapter 19: Is That You, Run Earth?
by xennovelAt this point, it seemed there was no chance.
Many viewers sighed, feeling that the missed opportunity was especially regrettable.
Even Bi Fang was ready to give up, preparing to step out when something unexpected happened.
The wild rabbit, which had just turned its head slightly, suddenly stopped moving!
It just stared quietly at the diagonal front, as if it hadn’t noticed anything.
The just-relaxed Bi Fang was startled once more, his whole body’s posture becoming even more uncomfortable and bizarre, his days feeling as long as years!
He couldn’t take it anymore…
Bi Fang felt his calf muscles trembling, sweat beads sliding along his forehead and down the sides, the salty taste spreading around his lips.
How much longer did he have to hold on?
One second, ten seconds, or a whole minute?
He wanted to give up, but whenever he thought about giving up, a strong unwillingness would surge in his heart.
The desire for prey made Bi Fang like a lurking tiger. He licked his claws and fangs, only waiting for the prey to turn its head so that he could bite through its throat with his sharp teeth.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Bi Fang’s patience was wearing thin when it was time for an all-out attack!
The wild rabbit turned its head to look elsewhere.
“Ha~”
The tense Bi Fang suddenly relaxed, took a half-step and moved to the bushes on the right.
Blood circulated quickly to soothe the sore calf muscles.
Similarly relaxed were the hundreds of viewers in front of the screens whose spirits couldn’t be put at ease because of the series of changes.
After rubbing his calf, Bi Fang slowly moved in again, this time more discreetly and carefully. The distance between them was already very close, making it easier to startle the wild rabbit.
But that was still not enough. Bi Fang knew very well that there could be no mistakes in this hunt. He had to get within five, or even four meters!
Seven meters, six meters, five meters.
Finally, Bi Fang managed to get within the range of nearly four meters. He raised his short spear, aiming at the rabbit’s torso, but he didn’t move.
Now, even Bi Fang’s most subtle movements completely aroused the wild rabbit’s vigilance.
The wind carried his scent to some extent, and the sound disappeared completely.
The wild rabbit sniffed but found nothing, so it rubbed its head and stood up straight.
That’s right!
Stand up, stand up a little more…
Bi Fang thought to himself.
At this moment, the rabbit’s torso was completely upright.
Now’s the time!
Bi Fang’s legs sprang into action, and in the blink of an eye, he burst out of the bushes! As the forest wind blew, the sound of rustling grass accompanied by stretched shadows, which appeared like a pouncing tiger under the sunshine!
Bi Fang gritted his teeth, and his muscles exerted their full strength without considering the cost. The power silently transmitted through muscles and meridians, and the long breath seemed to flow from his breath to his fingertips, pushing his arms and swinging the short spear!
In the midst of sparks and lightning, a cold glint arrived first!
Whoosh!
Puff!
Blood stained the land.
The rabbit, which had just wanted to break free, was severely nailed to the ground. Its legs flapped a couple of times, but it couldn’t budge the short spear at all. Gradually, it lay still.
It was dead.
Ahhh!!!!!
It hit! The spear hit!
I’ve never been so excited, even when watching goals scored in the World Cup! A standing ovation for everyone!
Mu Wang gifted one Super Rocket*1 to the anchor – Amazing! I’ve been watching outdoor streams for years, and Old Fang is the best!
Fat Cat Pete gifted one Rocket*1 to the anchor – Awesome!!!
Awesome plus
This posture, this skill, reminds me of Run Tu during my childhood…
666, is that you, Run Tu?
I will give you all my fish balls!
…
The live broadcast room was almost drowned in the viewers’ enthusiasm, with various compliments flooding in and gifts being sent out as if they were free. It must be said that Bi Fang’s efforts this morning were well-rewarded. He not only gained more fans but also secured his meals for the day.
“Hehe!”
Bi Fang panted heavily; the fully focused hunting had drained much of his energy. However, seeing the viewers’ teasing comments, he couldn’t help but smile happily.
He pulled out the short spear and wiped off the blood with the unsoiled mud nearby, then picked up the rabbit. Just as he was about to reach out, a dark shadow suddenly darted from his right side!
Bi Fang’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively thinking that it was a venomous snake. Before he could withdraw his hand, he found the black shadow brushed past his fingertips, fleeing into the distance, and then…
Bam!
The clear sound of flesh and tree collision was clearly audible.
Damn, that scared me! What just happened?
I know, right? But I’m relieved to see that Old Fang was scared too…
It seemed to be another rabbit?
A second one?
‘Quick, check it out, it seems to have hit a tree?’
Stunned, Bi Fang looked at the barrage, picked up the rabbit, and walked to a tree not far away.
A bloodied rabbit lay motionless beneath the tree!
‘Damn, blood money!’
‘Mama, waiting for a rabbit by a tree stump didn’t deceive me!’
‘My god, is it really a rabbit?’
‘Picked up a free rabbit? That’s a deal.’
The vast audience was stunned by this scene; they never expected the idiom, which they had heard so many times before, to appear before their eyes!
Even Lu Junming was dumbfounded; he found it hard to imagine how this program effect was made.
Placing a rabbit that couldn’t run would explain hunting, but how does one control a rabbit to hit a tree?
Get it drunk?
What a team!
Must sign them.
The first live broadcast had so many people, and the content was of high quality. If they could dig them up, there would be plenty of bonuses!
Full of confidence, Lu Junming sent a rocket immediately.
“Anchor, join our guild, and we will welcome you with open arms. I’m not saying anything more, but if you sign with our guild, we will definitely support you, and your current achievements will double at least!”
But just as Lu Junming was fantasizing about promotion, salary increases, and financial freedom, Bi Fang’s mind was elsewhere. He picked up the rabbit, stuffed it into his bag, and hurried away.
The smell of blood here was too heavy and could easily attract wild beasts.
However, Bi Fang still expressed gratitude to some of the audience, but being outdoors was different from indoors, and not seeing the barrage was normal.
As a result, Lu Junming was ignored twice in a row.
Of course, even if Bi Fang had known, he wouldn’t have agreed.
Being an anchor on the platform was a partnership, but joining a guild would mean working for someone else.
At that time, not only would they be restricted everywhere, but even their content would be micromanaged. Wouldn’t that be a disgrace to Bear and De?
In the end, Bi Fang was confident in the content of his live broadcast!
‘Wow, this anchor thinks he’s a superstar?’
Once again ignored, Lu Junming was indignant. Each of the guild’s donations had a plan, and he couldn’t misappropriate them. So the rocket he just sent was out of his own pocket, yet the recipient didn’t even care.
‘What are you acting like, a new streamer who doesn’t join a guild? Without a guild’s support, which streamer can truly become famous? And how are you going to win the monthly competition?’
Seeing his investment of 500 bucks go down the drain, Lu Junming grew anxious and furiously typed on his keyboard.
‘If you don’t join a guild and you lose in the rankings because of us, don’t blame us! Are there even any streamers who don’t join guilds these days?’
‘Young man, don’t be too ambitious! The waters in the live streaming world run deep, and you can’t grasp it all!’
‘Having quality content doesn’t guarantee fame!’
Lu Junming’s bullet screen comments came one after another, but they didn’t stir any waves. Instead, he only triggered the audience’s discontent.
‘Enough, just a guild account, stop whining! Can’t you see the streamer doesn’t want to bother with you?’
‘I thought a wealthy fan appeared, but it turns out to be just a guild account. Bad luck!’
‘Waving a public order with the air of importance, what are you pretending?’
‘It’s just one rocket, right? Hey!’
‘Just one rocket? If you’re capable, send one yourself!’
Where has Lu Junming, who was usually addressed with respect as big brother, suffered such humiliation? Just as he was about to fiercely retort, a dazzling array of fireworks dazzled his eyes.
[Mighty King gifted 10 Super Rockets to the streamer—Get lost quickly!]
[Fat Cat Pete gifted 5 Super Rockets to the streamer—Roll away smoothly!]
[Handsome Disturbing Party Central gifted 1 Super Rocket to the streamer—Roll away fast!]
Sixteen treasure chests appeared all at once, and a series of gifts left everyone dizzy.
‘???’
Lu Junming, sitting in front of the screen, jumped up like a rabbit in shock. He fiercely pinched his thigh and felt unbearable pain.
So, who was the one with the problem?
Was it him or this world?
