Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness
Chapter 520: Wakayama Prefecture Taiji TownA dinner party came to an end in the passing of a dagger.
In the end, even the chef took to the stage, holding a steel knife, and after getting Bi Fang’s consent, used the steel knife to cut the tuna and distributed it to everyone present.
Everyone unanimously praised, stating that the fish cut with this knife was more delicious, with a primitive wilderness flavor, making it the most incredible meal they had ever had.
Quite a few people also took videos and posted them on social media to show off, claiming they had tasted authentic wilderness flavors.
In the end, as the tuna was running low, some even offered high prices to buy the last few pieces, which amazed the online audience.
[Holy shit, is that a sister pouring wine on the side?]
...[Damn it, Old Fang has already become corrupt.]
[Damn, 70,000 yen for a piece of fish? 4,000 RMB? Why don’t they just rob?]
[Can’t even rob it, the hotel bought this knife and made a killing!]
[Lord Mu: Damn, the competition has gotten even fiercer.][Are all hunters who go to Japan treated so well? This hotel looks so upscale, @Mugalen]
[Mugalen: There are hotels to stay in too? How come I didn’t know about this?]
[I bet fifty cents, only Old Fang has it, hahaha]
July 10th.
Bi Fang contacted Richard again to confirm that everyone would arrive around one in the afternoon, and then followed Nobita Nobi to a suburban villa.
Today, all of the hunters were to meet and get to know each other, after which they would assign the tracking and filming personnel from Oak Tree Company, and finally, they would choose their hunting areas on a huge map.
This was also a test of the hunters’ eyesight and strength, whether they could judge the number of black bears in a place based on the conditions at hand.
Or, if they were conscious of their limited strength, they would estimate where there was a higher or lower number of black bears, and then choose a safer area according to their own abilities.
The whole process started at eight in the morning and ended at ten, with even a male and a female commentator, Kogawa Kobayashi and Shizuka Minamoto, in the middle.
Although they didn’t understand hunting or the wilderness, they were both good-looking and good at creating ambiance, starting to interact before the hunters even arrived.
From the increase in the number of sika deer to the uncontrolled number of black bears causing harm to humans, they emphasized the legality and justice of black bear hunting, and then introduced the tradition and history of the Yōki Hunters.
“The Yōki Hunter is the strongest and most traditional professional hunter in Japan; they are experts in hunting black bears.”
The introduction was made by Kogawa Kobayashi, indicating that the male was the explainer, while Jingxiang was responsible for assisting.
“Before entering the mountains, these hunters pray and then spend several hours listening, waiting, and observing their surroundings. They can detect signs nearly imperceptible to ordinary people—signs that a black bear is nearby.”
“They still adhere to traditional hunting methods, and although they wear fashionable clothes, many hunters still use weapons that their ancestors used seven generations ago to hunt.”
“It is said that regardless of who ultimately shoots and kills the black bear, all members who participated in the hunting have the same rights to divide the animal’s meat and skin.”
After Kogawa Kobayashi finished his introduction, Jingxiang on the side exclaimed how awesome it was.
“By the way, Jingxiang, do you know which hunters are coming this time?”
“I don’t know.”
“There’s a big shot among them!”
“Oh, really? Who is it, who is it?”
“He’s known as the freest man on Earth, able to go to any corner of the world, even Mount Everest is no exception!”
Bi Fang turned off the live broadcast on his phone; the commentary was so cringe, especially the part about him, the freest man on Earth’s surface, misdirecting the show somehow?
Do they have to make a program like this?
But netizens seem to love it, cheering loudly.
[The freest man on Earth, that title is so cool]
[For a moment, I actually can’t refute it]
[Shout his name out loud, Bi~~~ Fang!]
Since Bi Fang was participating in the hunting season, Wolf Fang and B station jointly purchased the rights to the live broadcast of the Japanese hunting season, with Japan even giving a discount.
The difference is, Bi Fang’s live broadcast would be separate from the Oak Tree Company’s and his personal broadcast, with only Wolf Fang having the rights to Bi Fang’s personal live broadcast.
At the moment, Bi Fang’s personal live broadcasting room was playing back previous live footage, but the live broadcast of the hunting season had already begun, visible to audiences both at home and abroad, making Bi Fang feel embarrassed.
Soon, as soon as it was eight o’clock, people began to enter the scene one after another, starting with the five Yōki Hunters from Japan, each wearing a very traditional Matagi vest and shoes, that is, bear skin, looking like traditional defenders.
Bi Fang muttered, “Please, it’s summer now, wearing bear skin, aren’t they hot?”
The Yōki Hunters are also known as winter hunters, and this getup is meant for winter!
Tokyo’s July daytime temperatures were all above twenty degrees, and even Bi Fang himself was only wearing a thin shirt. How could these people actually wear bear skins?
After the entrance of the five Yōki Hunters, more people appeared, most of them foreigners. Bi Fang didn’t have the habit of grandstanding at the end, so he too opened the car door and headed towards the house.
As soon as he entered the gate, he found a huge camera facing him.
The live broadcast had already begun.
The moment Bi Fang made his entrance, an unprecedented wave of barrage comments erupted in the live room, far surpassing the other hunters. The staff backstage, dazed, watched the active data skyrocket on their screens, the first to feel the weight of the term “Legendary Adventurer.”
[Holy shit! Master Fang! Master Fang!]
[Take them down!]
[Charge, charge, charge!]
[Take first place, first place, first place!]
[After watching Master Fang go without clothes for a month, it’s quite a shock to suddenly see otherwise.]
[Add one, I actually got used to the Indigenous Indian look.]
Taking advantage of the situation as Bi Fang walked down the corridor, the two hosts introduced Bi Fang’s past achievements, sparking another wave among the unfamiliar viewers.
Jingxiang held her heart, her face flushed with excitement, “He’s so handsome, I feel like I’m in love.”
Kobayashi laughed heartily, “Even as a man, I’d be moved by the sight of Master Fang—strong and beautiful; he’s like a powerful golden tiger!”
Passing through the long corridor, Bi Fang arrived inside the hall, where the decor had long been altered. The walls around were lined with a layer of original wood with the bark, and opposite the wall was a stone fireplace that was already extinguished.
The room was lit with incandescent bulbs, somewhat dim. The orange light took everyone back decades, with numerous hunters holding spears gathered together, discussing the upcoming hunting event.
In the middle of the room, on the table, there lay an enormous map of Kyushu; around the table was a circle of stools, each person taking their seat in turn.
After greeting everyone, Bi Fang approached the table and touched it, feeling the texture of leather.
It was supposed to be imitation bear skin; Bi Fang concluded after observing the sewing marks on the leather. Then he saw a stone bowl beside the table with several darts in it, each dart marked with different numbers. Glancing over them, he didn’t see any number exceeding thirty-two.
One dart per person?
In total, thirty-five people, each sticking their own dart into their chosen spot on the map.
That’s what Bi Fang thought as he then took his seat, noting the number of people who had arrived; he was probably the seventeenth.
Shortly thereafter, Mugalen, as the twenty-third hunter, made his entrance. His image was distinct, carrying a large hunting bow on his back. The moment he saw Bi Fang, his eyes lit up, and after whispering a few words to the person in the eighteenth seat, they exchanged places.
“It seems Mr. Mugalen and Mr. Bi are really good friends. If I remember correctly, both of them have interacted before on the Wilderness Survivalist show on the adventure channel,” said the live room host, seizing the moment to comment and inform new viewers of their connection.
Mugalen dropped down beside Bi Fang, “Hahaha, long time no see.”
Bi Fang was happy to see an old acquaintance as well, “Indeed, it’s been quite a while. How’s Milani?”
“Her?” Mugalen curled his lip,” She’s probably watching your personal live broadcast now.”
“Hahaha, look above my head; you won’t find a drone; I haven’t started yet.”
“Sooner or later.”
“So, are you aiming for the championship this time?” Bi Fang chatted idly.
“How can I take the championship with you here,” said Mugalen disdainfully. He had also watched the interviews and felt those five Yōki Hunters were simply overestimating themselves.
Anyone who hadn’t hunted with Bi Fang couldn’t grasp his efficiency and precision, basically a human-shaped, self-walking scanner, otherwise known as a lock-on hanger.
Even though there were no records of him hunting large animals, Mugalen instinctively felt it was only a matter of opportunity for Bi Fang.
Moreover, he had this strange feeling that Bi Fang seemed even more formidable than before. This feeling of subtle awareness between acquaintances struck Mugalen the moment he walked in and saw Bi Fang.
What is this guy, leveling up in an online game?
How has he gotten so strong so quickly?
The two chatted casually for a bit, sharing their recent experiences. Mugalen asked, “So, you really just brought two daggers? By the way, can I take a look at that steel knife?”
“You don’t believe me?” Bi Fang drew out the dagger and passed it to him.
“I do, any outrageous thing happening to you, I believe,” Mugalen received the dagger and admired it, clicking his tongue in appreciation, “You can’t tell at all; it feels as though it was made in a factory. By the way, have you chosen your spot? I had my eye on several, but I haven’t actually visited them, so I’m a bit uncertain.”
“I have, Taiji Town in Wakayama Prefecture.”
“Taiji Town?”
Mugalen was taken aback; he had never paid attention to this place. Could it be he had overlooked something? Was it a spot where Black Bears often appeared?
