Chapter 29: Attack of the Black Bear Spirit

The crisis was temporarily resolved.

As Bi Fang let out a sigh of relief, he finally noticed the system prompt.

How was it that Task One was completed now?

There had been many instances when the number of viewers had exceeded 500, but the system had given no response.

Now, Bi Fang started to suspect that the requirement of 500 might not refer to a specific time period, but rather an average number.

It was as if the first day had only a couple hundred viewers, so there would definitely need to be more viewers averaged out later on; merely breaking the peak value did not count as meeting the standard.

With this thought, Bi Fang glanced at the live broadcast’s popularity index and was shocked to discover that it had reached 12,000.

It was simply incredible!

Hastily, Bi Fang scrolled through the barrage records and discovered that a top-tier streamer had visited the stream, contributing a huge wave of traffic.

So he quickly expressed his gratitude with a few thankful words.

Ling Xuefeng waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Both parties were overjoyed and the atmosphere at the scene was harmonious. However, Ling Xuefeng knew that this was a sure bet!

With a recommendation and a big leg to stand on, it was a bloodied profit!

A god-tier player is indeed not the same as a mere mortal like myself. Even during life or death situations, he can still think of so many things…

Yeah, I almost peed my pants…

Thankfully, it’s not embarrassing.

That black bear is truly ferocious!

Indeed! It’s like night and day compared to the ones in the zoos: bigger in size and with a bigger temper.

Bi Fang nodded his head in agreement, clearly, this black bear was very vicious.

As humans have become the undisputed top players in the natural world, most animals tend to fear them. But this black bear not only showed no fear, it even actively considered Bi Fang as prey.

“Yes, as the saying goes: one bear, two tigers, three wolves. It seems this black bear has never encountered humans before and has grown accustomed to dominating his forest, which is why it dares to consider humans as prey.”

My name is Black Bear, and I live in the Qinling Community, Mountain Range 48. I’m the bully of the Wild Animal Kindergarten. Today I encountered a bipedal beast, and I was just about to have a taste of it. Suddenly, it pulled out a long, black object and stabbed it into my body, instantly rendering me powerless to resist. Later, I found out that it was a terrifying upright ape and a highly skilled one at that…

666, so many characters, let’s follow you!

Upright ape, how terrifying!

Huh? Is it you again? You wrote the rabbit thief one last time, right? Did you publish a book yet?

It’s coming soon, it’s coming soon, don’t be impatient!

How far along is it? Just creating the document? (sarcastically)

Seeing the lively chat in the live broadcast, Bi Fang’s mood improved. At that moment, a strong sense of exhaustion came over him, causing a moment of dizziness.

But Bi Fang didn’t panic; he knew it was the aftermath of an extensive secretion of adrenaline.

The situation was still bad; he was still in danger, and the smell of blood might attract unnecessary trouble. He needed to leave as soon as possible.

Bi Fang took a few deep breaths to alleviate his dizziness, picked up his backpack, stuffed the smoked rabbit meat inside, and then picked up the stone spears that had fallen to the ground. There were three stone spears in total, and one had broken during the battle, but he still had two left to use. Unfortunately, the strap of the backpack given by the system was broken, so he could only carry it on one shoulder.

Well, it was just as well since his left shoulder was swollen and couldn’t bear the weight anyway.

He almost forgot that he had been injured just now!

What a man, not even frowning when he was badly hurt.

He’s overly strong, I should call my new book this.

Isn’t it ridiculous to be surprised that humans, the natural dominators, driving back black bears with stone spears?

Bi Fang glanced at this comment and almost laughed out loud but didn’t bother to respond.

The divergence amplification law of online quarrels: if there is disagreement between the parties, then after each quarrel, the disagreement will double.

However, the fans couldn’t stand it and directly helped Bi Fang fight back.

I was amused by the comment above. Do you think having hands and a mouth is all it takes? What a joke!

May I ask from which general’s army are you? Are you the Shovel General?

With your level of skill, Bi Fang would kill you with a single spear!

Fang Sen: That’s an exaggeration, an exaggeration. How could I kill you with one spear? Two spears, maybe, but no more!

Just as everyone was enthusiastically ridiculing, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted in the live broadcast room, shooting straight at the sky.

[Congratulations to King Shepherd for becoming the Emperor in Fang Shen’s live broadcast room!]

King Shepherd sent the host Shark’s Fin *100000— I admire no one but Old Fang! Sending some Shark’s Fin to show my respect!

Emperor!?

The dazzling special effects stunned everyone, including Bi Fang himself.

Are there so many local tyrants nowadays? Opening an Emperor for 120,000 a month just like that?

Forgive Bi Fang for his lack of experience, but he couldn’t understand why people liked to spend over a hundred thousand on their favorite live streamer, just for them to call out to them as big brother or sister.

Why not spend the money on novels or something else? A silver membership is only ten thousand, and it would make the author prostrate themselves and fawn over you.

Hmm? What? You say the money is spent on me? And it’s from King Shepherd?

Well, that’s fine then.

Seeing the clear nickname, Bi Fang breathed a sigh of relief. He was already used to it.

Although King Shepherd had revealed his main account last time, he still seemed to prefer watching live broadcasts with his alternate account.

Perhaps this was the world of the wealthy.

And it didn’t end there; as soon as Emperor’s membership was opened, Fat Cat Pete, Ling Xuefeng, and other local tyrants also started sending super rockets.

A large number of treasure chests burst out, creating an extraordinarily lively atmosphere in the live broadcast room. The popularity skyrocketed like a rocket, soon breaking through 20,000!

Although popularity doesn’t equal the number of people, having 20,000 popularity for a newcomer to live streaming is an incredible stat!

It even set a historical record for unsigned new streamers!

Even Wang Weifeng, who had been paying attention behind the scenes, was taken aback. In his many years in the industry, he had never seen such outrageous data, especially coming from a newcomer with no prior fame before live streaming. Of course, this doesn’t include professional players turned streamers, as they already had a large fan base and couldn’t be compared.

Bi Fang hadn’t signed any contracts yet. No matter how high his popularity, he couldn’t appear in a prominent position on the platform. He had managed to attract traffic mainly through the rewards of Super Rocket and their treasure chests.

Such talent must be kept in Shark!

Thinking of this, Wang Weifeng waved to his subordinate: “Have you contacted him yet?”

The subordinate gave a wry smile: “Not yet, the phone number left on the registered live broadcast room can’t be reached.”

In theory, those who dared to live stream like this should have a dedicated support team. It seemed strange that they couldn’t be contacted.

Wang Weifeng shook his head, didn’t think too much about it, and told his subordinate to keep trying.

If you can’t get through, keep trying!

“Thank you, thank you for everyone’s support!”

Bi Fang was very excited to receive so many rewards. After all, no matter how much the online friends praised, it wasn’t as practical as real money!

“However, we’d better leave as soon as possible. Not only because of the smell of blood all over the place but also because of the possible retaliation from the black bear!”

Did I hear that correctly? Retaliation from a black bear?

Is it just like humans?

Are black bears really that smart?

Many viewers were skeptical about the black bear coming back for revenge but still felt a sense of nervousness.

“Of course,” Bi Fang explained while hurrying along, “for some evolved animals, the more complex their brain structure, the better their memory, and accordingly, the more ‘vengeful’ they become.”

“Especially for large animals like black bears, their intelligence is equivalent to a 3-5-year-old human. Individual adult black bears, through artificial training, can even reach the intelligence of a 6-7-year-old. The occurrence of ‘revenge’ among them is not uncommon.”

A few minutes later, Bi Fang finally arrived at the creek, where he began to wash the blood off his body and his blood-stained stone spear. He also scooped up some water with his right hand and washed his face.

“Black bears have very sensitive noses, so we can cross the river to cover my scent with the river water.”

Bi Fang explained simply, then took off his shirt, pants, and shoes, leaving only his shorts, as he prepared to wade through the river.

At this moment, the viewers noticed Bi Fang’s slightly swollen left shoulder and were once again shocked by the black bear’s cruelty.

“Hiss!”

As soon as he entered the water, Bi Fang felt a chill running up his spine. The sun hadn’t warmed the creek water yet since it was still morning, so the water was still icy cold.

His blood circulated rapidly, and soon, Bi Fang’s skin turned bright red.
