Chapter 4: Expert Skills Maxed

“Looking back on the course of human evolution, if our ancestors had not taken risks, ventured into the unknown, and possessed a great heart with fearless innovation and noble sentiment, humanity would never have dared to brave the ocean in a lone wooden canoe and explore its unending mysteries on the other side.

Human curiosity led to the impulse to take risks, and these risks ignited the torch of civilization.

Adventure not only exists amidst nature’s oceans, mountains, deserts and marshlands, but also thrives within densely populated cities.”

“I am Bi Fang, a professional outdoor explorer. Here, I will demonstrate how to survive in some of Earth’s most dangerous places, where without professional skills, you wouldn’t last even a day.”

“This time, I have come to Qinling, Western Gorge. I will rely on my own two feet to forge a path to survival in this well-preserved primeval forest!”

The drone swiftly flies, black mountains and trees zooming in. It skims across the sky, capturing everything under its lens.

The wind blows across millions of hectares of forest, forming a ocean of green, where countless treetops sway to form layers of waves.

The sunlight casts a shadow on Bi Fang, as his tall, slender figure appears small compared to the gigantic trees of the mountain range. However, his words exude an unshakable confidence that deeply resonates with the viewers.

Only relying on his feet?

Is it possible?

The viewers only feel their legs go weak.

Damn, these visuals, these words, they just fire me up.

This is so exciting, my first time watching something like this. Should I prepare some tissues? (Sarcastic)

Isn’t this more inspiring than any movie?

Focusing back on the camera, Bi Fang brings the stunned viewers back to reality.

“Now that we have determined our direction, it is time to plot our survival route.”

“I won’t take the same path that Old Qin brought me here; it would be meaningless. So choosing the right direction is crucial.”

“I chose to head south in Qinling, Western Gorge, because the subtropical climate to the south is warm and humid, with abundant natural resources, making it more suitable for survival.”

Having mastered top wilderness survival skills and drawing on his experience from his previous life, Bi Fang felt confident and clear in his thoughts. As he walked, he explained his survival plan to the audience.

“Then, we need to find a river. On the one hand, we need a water source, and on the other hand…”

“Throughout history, we can see that rivers are the cradle of civilization and one of the most essential conditions for living creatures. As long as we follow the river, we can basically reach inhabited places.”

“Once we find people, our survival mission can be considered successful.”

Bi Fang’s tone was calm and composed, which seemed even more impressive in the eerie, primeval forest.

By finding a river, he would find hope for survival.

Because rivers not only bring water but also serve as the key to survival and the compass of civilization!

Although the streamer was young, his analysis was professional and well-founded.

But as this man leaves, only the streamer remains. It feels creepy.

Yeah, I didn’t feel it earlier, but now it just looks like watching a horror movie in the deep mountain forest with only the streamer there…

“It’s quite normal.”

Bi Fang calmly responded to the audience’s reactions, recalling his first experience in the primeval forest, the confined environment, isolation from the outside world, and dangerous flora and fauna…

“For an unfamiliar environment, anyone would feel uneasy. But this is also an essential part of wilderness survival: maintaining an optimistic attitude. Only with a good mentality can we have the confidence to overcome difficulties. Since difficulties have already appeared, don’t let the situation get worse.”

There are two sides to every coin, and it’s the same with any situation; we must not focus solely on the negative side while neglecting the positive side. As an expert in wilderness survival, maintaining a positive outlook can keep one’s mind and body in good condition. This is not only a way to cultivate one’s mental state but also a method to unleash one’s potential.

However, relying solely on mindset is not enough; skills are equally important, even basic walking techniques need to be carefully considered.

“We must pay attention not to take big steps while walking but to keep our steps moderate, light, and relaxed. Also, avoid lifting our feet too high, and try to slide them forward. This can alleviate the leg muscles without affecting our speed and save our energy.”

“In addition, we should make our walking process as natural and smooth as possible to avoid causing fatigue and burden to our body.”

“To achieve this, we must try to control the movement of our limbs, not to over-tire the legs, and use our feet and arms to distribute the pressure during walking.”

Bi Fang, on an uphill climb, kept his body low, his back relaxed, and leaning slightly forward. His legs were bent, head and arms low, keeping the center of gravity stable in the lower half of his body. He coordinated his breathing with his steps, walking steadily and conserving energy. Taking large strides might feel more powerful at times, but enduring in the wilderness requires stamina, which is the foundation for all activities.

A user commented, “Wow, you can tell that our streamer is an expert in uphill climbing just by his posture! Sending one airplane gift!”

Another user sent 100 fishball gifts and said, “Those details, it’s all about the details! It feels like our streamer knows so much; there’s even so much to say about just walking!”

“It’s not that I know a lot, I just learned these things earlier than you guys. Now you know too, right?”

In the face of the viewers’ compliments, Bi Fang laughed and replied, unpretentious.

A viewer commented, “Just because of this sentence from our streamer, I’ve become a fan!”

Giving a small airplane

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

Bi Fang was somewhat agitated, thanking the fans who sent him gifts one by one. This was the first time he had received so many gifts, making it all the more meaningful.

Shark Live had several tiers of gifts, including a Super Rocket at 2000, a yacht at 1314, a rocket at 500, an airplane at 100, a card at 6, a weakling at 0.2, and a like at 0.1.

In addition, there were fishballs, with a gift unit of 100, and 100 fishballs equating to 1 cent.

A fish fin cost 1 yuan, and a certain amount sent per room per month could be upgraded.

Among them, the airplane was special, as the streamer could get an 80% commission instead of 50%.

That is to say, with that sudden flurry, Bi Fang had just earned nearly two hundred!

Instant noodles could now be upgraded with an added sausage!

The situation was great!

This made Bi Fang couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally attracting the audience.

Actually, before this live stream, he didn’t have much confidence.

Although Wilderness Survival was a popular topic as long as it had enough content, regardless of the world it was in, live streaming and edited videos were fundamentally two different formats.

Bear and De’s videos were like a main course, well-balanced in nutrition, orderly, and including everything from appetizers to soups, desserts, and beverages. Even the presentation and styling were perfect, with a high information density that left the audience satisfied.

Whereas live streaming was more like a snack; most people didn’t care too much about nutrition as long as it wasn’t too hard to eat and kept their mouths busy.

For example, Bi Fang’s boring journey would undoubtedly be cut out of a video, but not from a live stream. As a result, live streaming has a lower information density, which makes audience interaction and participation extremely important – this is also the most appealing aspect of live streaming.

At this moment, the audience’s engagement is incredibly strong!

The popularity of the live streaming room gradually rises, and the number of viewers steadily increases, which boosts Bi Fang’s mood. His legs don’t hurt, and his waist doesn’t ache as he walks through the forest as if on flat ground. He walks non-stop for several hundred meters.

“However, although our plan is simple, executing it is not easy.”

“In November 2019, a person went missing during a mountain climbing event organized by an outdoor club in Qinling, Western Gorge. At that time, at least seven professional rescue teams, including local villagers totaling more than 150 people, were involved in the search. It took five days to find the missing climber, who was severely dehydrated, unconscious, and had a swollen body.”

“According to the trapped person, he only wanted to go to the summit to take pictures. But the mountain mist was too thick, making it impossible to take photos. Just when he was about to return, he realized he was lost. The whole process took no more than ten minutes.”

“Even when I go on trips, I don’t change my route casually and make sure to prepare various supplies and tools just in case.”

Bi Fang walks and talks, trying to make the journey more interesting while also warning the audience not to recklessly try to imitate him. These examples are all real and were taken down by him after researching a few days ago.

At the same time, this is also the speaking style of Bear Grylls from his previous life, which he is intentionally imitating. All successful projects have their merits. Bear Grylls was so popular in his past life, and it would be a pity not to copy… ahem, learn from him. There’s no way that Bear Grylls could cross worlds to hit him, right? That would be unreasonable.

Looking at the rising popularity of this live streaming room, Bear Grylls will be a legend forever!
