Chapter 28: The Rising Superstar of Live Streaming

On the top of Ling Xuefeng mountain, it seemed as if a live broadcast star, no, a giant star within the entire entertainment industry was slowly rising!

Wang Weifeng was doing an incredible job. This wasn’t just a recommendation badge; it was like giving Old Qin a golden opportunity!

At this moment, as he watched his own fans continue to switch over, Ling Xuefeng didn’t get angry. Instead, he was quite cheerful.

It wasn’t a one-way trip, and besides, what could be better than the friendship formed from helping one another during tough times?

Just as Ling Xuefeng was daydreaming about Bi Fang becoming the number one live streamer in the future and breaking into the top 10 with him, a roar of anger came from the live broadcast room.

“Ah!”

With an enraged cry, Bi Fang spat and pulled out the stone spear.

Without any restraint, the black bear’s berserk nature erupted, its muscles tensed, unleashing astounding speed from its massive body!

Unfortunately, Bi Fang had anticipated this. He took a step back, continued to hide in the bear’s blind spot, dodged its bites and swipes, and struck the injured tip of its nose with the stone spear like a club!

Smack!

The massive impact caused the black bear to wail in pain, while its right paw still swung towards Bi Fang. However, knowing the moves of the black bear, Bi Fang slipped away like a loach, barely evading the strike. He then swung the spear again.

The black bear was strong and fierce, but its movements were limited. Once seen through, it appeared incredibly clumsy. Furthermore, Bi Fang, who stood in the bear’s blind spot, held a significant advantage!

As he dodged, Bi Fang struck again fiercely!

This time, the black bear was truly in pain, holding its nose and ceasing its attack.

‘Hahaha, it feels like I’m training a dog!’

‘I give up; such a big black bear is just like a big dog when it comes to fighting!’

‘Fang God is awesome!’

‘Fang God rules!’

Ling Lao Mo gifted three Super Rockets to the streamer: “Damn, I just came in and saw a bit of it, and it’s really impressive! I’ve followed you, the future broadcast giant!”

Mu Wang Ye gifted ten Super Rockets to the streamer: “You’ll get used to it; Old Fang is always awesome!”

Seeing that the situation was under Bi Fang’s control, the viewers relaxed and began to boast, sending various gifts like money was no object.

While on the other side, Bi Fang, who was still “training the bear,” prepared to strike again, but the black bear suddenly retreated a step!

This black bear was scared!

‘I, Ling Xuefeng, am willing to call the streamer the strongest in the great outdoors!’

‘Ling Lao Mo, look at them and look at yourself! You can’t even defeat the black bear in the game, while others are already starting to challenge it in reality!’

‘Really, let’s give reality a try!’

The black bear whimpered, covering its bleeding nose with its paw as blood dripped from between its claws.

It seemed to be fearful and did not continue to attack.

On the other hand, Bi Fang had not let down his guard, holding the stone spear at the ready.

No one knew whether the black bear was genuinely afraid, or it was merely trying to feign weakness to deceive its enemy.

Never underestimate the intelligence of wild beasts; they are often smarter than humans when it comes to hunting!

At this moment, the black bear seemed to be seriously injured, but in reality, Bi Fang knew that those were just superficial injuries.

It was the end of September, near the autumn, and the temperature was low in the mountains. Many black bears had already started storing fat.

Therefore, the black bear’s fur was very thick at this time, with a layer of fat close to 10 centimeters thick. It was difficult for cold weapons to cause severe damage to them.

At this moment, the distance between the two was only two or three meters, and the black bear could easily knock him down with a pounce.

It must be on guard!

And as Bi Fang was considering this, the black bear suddenly leaned forward!

The viewers who originally thought the black bear had been scared and dared not attack any more, suddenly got a shock. Bi Fang, who was standing next to him, felt a tightness in his chest, gripped the stone spear in his hand, and was about to strike once more.

The next second, this huge male black bear actually turned its head and ran away!

As they watched the black bear quickly disappear into the bushes, the tense audience stared at each other in astonishment. When they finally recovered, they erupted in cheers.

Fang Shen: So that’s it? A 200-kilogram black bear just left like that?

Black bear? I bet on Seoul instead!

Why did you let it go? It’s so big, I feel like we could eat it for a long time!

It’s probably because hunting bears is illegal, right?

Which part of this looks like bear hunting? Haven’t you seen that the bear initiated the attack? This is called self-defense!

No, in bear law this wouldn’t be considered self-defense. A law dog passing by…

On the other side, Bi Fang watched the black bear completely disappear into the jungle, and a flush of color finally returned to his pale face. Simultaneously, he felt extremely grateful in his heart.

Only he himself knew the danger of that moment just now – this time, he survived solely because the black bear was frightened by the painful scraping.

Bi Fang, who had recovered, looked at the live broadcast room and saw the boasting of the fans, feeling speechless. It seemed they thought his death would have been more dignified?

“What are you thinking? I don’t know how long a black bear can eat for, but my 100 pounds of meat will definitely be enough to stuff it!”

These words instantly stunned everyone.

Ah, this…

That’s not what I was thinking…

Didn’t we drive it away already…

Bi Fang shook his head; he didn’t kill the bear not because it was illegal to hunt bears or because he wanted to protect animals. He was simply helpless.

The black bear had let him go solely because it was afraid of pain, not because it was injured.

If it had been hungrier, things might have turned out differently.

“Bear hunting isn’t as simple as you think. Just now, it seemed like I was in control of the situation, but actually, it was extremely dangerous.”

“It’s already autumn, and black bears are starting to gain weight. Their fat layer alone is already close to 10 centimeters thick, and their fur has become even thicker, making their defense very high. No matter if it’s a stone spear or a stone dagger, I just caused the black bear some superficial injuries, and even the scratched eye might heal in a short time. Look at this stone spear…”

Bi Fang lifted the stone spear that had previously pierced the side of the black bear. Most of the stone spearhead was stained with blood, silently telling everyone that this was undoubtedly a lethal weapon.

“Perhaps many people will ask, why didn’t I continue to apply force after piercing its abdomen, seriously injuring its internal organs, but instead pulled out the stone spear?”

Yes, it felt like if it had been stabbed deeper, it would have damaged the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs, wouldn’t victory have been easily achieved?

I had the same question.

Many viewers became eager as Bi Fang mentioned this point, as this was not just listening to online keyboard warriors bragging, but firsthand experience listening to Bi Fang’s explanation.

“I couldn’t, and I didn’t dare,” Bi Fang shook his head and bluntly stated the reason, “The reason I was able to win was mainly due to two factors: one, the blind spot advantage, and second, the black bear’s natural aversion to pain. This is a common trait among all mammals.”

The stone spear made temporarily in the wilderness was not very sturdy, and the first one breaking easily was a clear example.

Being able to pierce through the bear’s fat layer and actually injure it was already very fortunate. If stabbed further, the spear’s handle could have been easily broken by the bear’s muscles.

If they had lost that long-range weapon, the situation would have rapidly worsened. The black bear, feeling threatened, could have become irrational, ignoring the stone spear lodged in its body, and desperately trying to bite Bi Fang to death.

The backpack strap that had been barely grazed by the bear’s claws just moments ago had snapped immediately, and Bi Fang’s left shoulder ended up a deep shade of red, almost forming a bruise. One could only imagine what would happen if he were bitten.

“People often say that a cornered beast will fight desperately, but few actually experience it,” Bi Fang explained. Hearing his words, many people suddenly realized why he had given up on the seemingly advantageous situation earlier: what had appeared to be an opportunity was actually a trap!

Damn, this is a conscientious anchor. If it were someone else, they would have already boasted a lot!

That’s right, Bi Fang is the true conscience of the industry!

What are we waiting for if we don’t follow such a livestreamer?

Bi Fang couldn’t help but smile as he realized that no matter what he said, these viewers would vigorously sing his praises, making them seem like an army of fake followers.

“When facing a predator, you need to fight with all your might, demonstrating your own strength and making it aware that you are not to be trifled with,” Bi Fang explained. “If it feels the effort and reward are not balanced, it will naturally avoid provoking you. However, you shouldn’t engage in a life-or-death struggle either. If the black bear had thought the battle between us was a fight to the death, then the probability is that you wouldn’t see me now.”

Bi Fang himself understood the situation well. It was extremely lucky to have survived this encounter, and he didn’t dare to hope for more.
