The crisis was temporarily resolved.
As Bi Fang let out a sigh of relief, he finally noticed the system notification.
Indeed, his earlier guess wasn’t wrong, the livestream had won a round of explosive attention, and the main quest had been completed just like that.
Although the process was perilous, the outcome was not bad—rabbit meat was retrieved, and half of the main quest was completed, that was enough!
However, why was Quest 1 completed now?
Bi Fang found this a little strange, as there had been many times before when the number of viewers had exceeded five hundred, yet the system had shown no response.
Now he suspected that perhaps the requirement of five hundred meant an average number of viewers, not just a peak moment.
Just like the audience on the first day was merely a couple of hundred people, it definitely required a spread of more viewers later on, with merely breaking the peak not counting as meeting the standard.
With this in mind, Bi Fang glanced at the popularity index of the livestream and was surprised to see it approaching twenty thousand.
Incredible!
He hurriedly browsed through the barrage of comments and realized that a big streamer had raided his room, bringing in a large surge of viewers.
So, he quickly said a few words of thanks.
Ling Xuefeng waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal, not worth mentioning, as he only wanted to be an attachment on the leg of a big boss.
The atmosphere on site was very congenial, but Ling Xuefeng knew, this was in the bag!
One promotion plus a big supporter, a huge profit!
[Master Fang is truly Master Fang, not like us plebs, even in life-and-death moments, he still thinks of so much…]
[Exactly, I almost pissed myself…]
[Yysy, no shame in that.]
[That Black Bear is seriously fierce!]
[Yeah, it’s like night and day compared to the ones in zoos, bigger in size, and with a nastier temper.]
Bi Fang nodded, indeed this Black Bear was excessively fierce.
As humans had become the undisputed boss of nature, almost all animals feared humans, but this Black Bear wasn’t afraid at all and even proactively considered Bi Fang as its prey.
“Yes, as the saying goes, pigs first, bears second, and tigers third, this Black Bear must have never encountered humans before. It’s used to ruling the forest, so it dared to treat me as prey.”
[My name is Bear Black Black, I live in the Qinling Residential District, Mountain Range No. 48, and I’m the school bully at the Wild Animal Kindergarten. Today I met a two-legged beast and was ready to feast on it, but in the next second, it pulled out something long and black and thrust it into my body. Suddenly, I lost the ability to resist. It was only later I found out that the thing was a Terrifying Upright Ape, and moreover, one with two red sticks…]
[666, you’ve got a way with words—I’m with you!]
[Upright Ape, terrifying indeed!]
[Eh? Is that you again? The one who wrote about the rabbit thief last time, wasn’t it? Have you published a book yet?]
[It’s in progress, it’s in progress, don’t rush!]
[How far have you got? Just created a document, right? (joking)]
Seeing the livestream room get lively again, Bi Fang’s mood improved. Just then, a strong sense of weakness hit him, making him feel dizzy.
But Bi Fang didn’t panic, he knew this was a consequence of the large amount of adrenaline that had been secreted.
The situation was still quite bad, he hadn’t left danger behind, and the smell of blood could also attract unnecessary trouble, he needed to leave quickly.
Bi Fang took a few deep breaths to relieve the dizziness and picked up his backpack, stuffing the smoked rabbit meat into it, and then picked up his Stone Spear that had fallen on the ground.
There were a total of three Stone Spears, one had broken during the fight but the other two were still usable. Unfortunately, the strap of the system-provided backpack had broken, so he could only carry it over one shoulder.
That was fine anyway, as his left shoulder was badly swollen and he couldn’t carry anything on it.
[Almost forgot, Master Fang just got injured!]
[Master Fang is a real man, doesn’t even frown despite such a serious injury.]
[This man is too strong, that’s the title of his new book.]
[Really hyping up the unusual, isn’t it just human nature? With the Stone Spear, isn’t it just surprising to drive back a bear?]
Bi Fang had just seen this comment and almost laughed out loud, then he ignored it.
The internet argument multiplier theory: If there is a disagreement between the two sides, then after each argument, the divergence will double.
But the fans couldn’t stand by and directly shot back in support of Bi Fang.
[The guy above just made me laugh. So you think having hands is enough? Just say whatever comes to your mouth?]
[May I ask who you are, sir? Are you the General of Slide Tackles?]
[With your attitude, Old Fang could stab you dead with one spear!]
[Master Fang: Exaggerated, exaggerated! How could a jab kill? It takes two jabs, and not a single one more!]
Just as everyone was fervently discussing, a burst of golden light suddenly exploded in the live stream room, shooting straight up to the heavens.
[Congratulations to Lord Mu for becoming an Emperor in Master Fang’s live room!]
[Lord Mu gifts the host shark fins *100000—I bow down to no one but Old Fang! A token of my respect with some shark fins!]
An Emperor!?
The dazzling special effects stunned everyone, and Bi Fang was no exception.
Are there so many tycoons nowadays? Just casually subscribing for twelve thousand a month?
Forgive Bi Fang for his lack of exposure, he really couldn’t understand why someone would drop tens of thousands on their favorite streamer, just to hear the streamer call them ‘big brother1 or ‘big sister’.
With that money, isn’t it better spent on novels or something? A Silver Alliance membership is only ten thousand, and you can get the author to come out and grovel in all manner of ways.
Huh? What? You say it’s donated to me? And it’s Lord Mu?
Well, that’s different then.
Upon seeing the familiar nickname, Bi Fang breathed a sigh of relief, he was already used to such surprises.
Although Lord Mu had revealed his main account last time, he seemed to still like using his alternate account to watch the live stream.
Perhaps this is the world of the rich.
But it didn’t end there. Just as the Emperor tier had been initiated, other tycoons like Fat Cat Pete and Ling Xuefeng started sending Super Rockets one after another.
A flood of treasure chests burst forth, and suddenly, the atmosphere in the stream became incredibly lively. The popularity shot up like a rocket, quickly surpassing twenty thousand!
While popularity does not equate to viewer count, for a new streamer, reaching a popularity of twenty thousand is an incredible figure!
It even set a historical record for unsigned new streamers!
Even Wang Weifeng, who had been paying close attention from backstage, was dumbfounded. In all his years in the industry, he had never seen such outrageous figures, at least not for new streamers who were completely unknown before broadcasting.
That does not include professional gamers turned streamers, who already have a substantial fan base, and their stats can’t be measured the same way.
Bi Fang wasn’t signed yet, and no matter how high his popularity, he wouldn’t appear in a prominent position on the platform’s homepage. He was almost entirely relying on the treasure chests brought by the donated Super Rockets for traffic.
This kind of talent must be kept at Shark!
Thinking this, Wang Weifeng waved to his subordinate: “Have you made contact yet?”
The subordinate replied with a wry smile, “Not yet, the phone number left on the registration page for the streaming room is unreachable.”
Logically, those who dare to stream like this usually have dedicated logistical teams, so they shouldn’t be unreachable.
Strange, indeed.
Wang Weifeng shook his head, decided not to dwell on it, and gestured for his subordinate to keep trying.
If it’s unreachable, keep calling!
“Thank you, thank you everyone for your support!”
Bi Fang was very excited to receive such generous rewards; after all, as much as the Shuiyou (audience) flattered him, nothing beats cold hard cash!
“However, we really should hurry and leave now, not just because of the bloody scent everywhere, but also because of the possible retaliation from the Black Bear!”
[Did I hear that right? Retaliation from the Black Bear?]
[How is it like a person?]
[Are Black Bears that smart?]
Upon hearing that the Black Bear might come back for revenge, many viewers’ first reaction was disbelief, but they were still nervous inside.
“Of course,” Bi Fang explained while hurrying along, “for some more fully evolved animals, the more complex their brain structure, the better their memory. Accordingly, they also become more ‘vengeful.'”
“Especially large animals like Black Bears, their intelligence is comparable to a 3-5-year-old human. A few, through special post-natal training, can even reach the intelligence of 6-7-year-olds. It’s not surprising for them to hold grudges.”
A few minutes later, Bi Fang finally reached the stream and began washing off the bloodstains on his body and the bloodied Stone Spear, then scooped up some stream water in his right hand to wash his face.
“The Black Bear’s nose is too sensitive, so we can cross the river to allow the water to mask my scent.”
Bi Fang briefly explained and then stripped off his shirt, pants, and shoes, leaving only his shorts, ready to enter the water and cross the river.
It was precisely when he took his clothes off that viewers suddenly noticed Bi Fang’s somewhat swollen left shoulder and were shocked once again at the ruthlessness of the Black Bear.
“Hiss!”
The moment he stepped into the water, Bi Fang felt a chill that ran up his spine to the back of his head; it was still morning, and the sun hadn’t warmed the stream water yet, which remained icy cold to the bone.
As his blood circulated rapidly, his skin quickly turned a reddish hue.
