Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 39 Suddenly Broke

Translator: 549690339 |

“Mr. Bi Fang, our platform actually values you very much, or rather, your future, but this isn’t capital for you to provoke the higher-ups. Do you understand?”

“Who are you?” Hearing the voice on the other end suddenly change, Bi Fang asked curiously.

“Wang Weifeng, the head of Shark TV.”

“Oh, the head, huh!” Bi Fang was a bit surprised, he raised an eyebrow, but his thoughts didn’t shift in the slightest, “I stand by my choice, even if it were your chairman here, it would be the same!”

With his subordinates gone, Wang Weifeng’s expression turned colder, and he no longer minced his words, stating bluntly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Bi, you may be young, with little work experience, but I have to tell you that no one in this world is irreplaceable, even if we think highly of you. Overconfidence in one’s talent often doesn’t lead to a good end.”

“Is that the knife at the end of the road?” Bi Fang didn’t care, and he laughed directly, “You can’t replace me. This, what’s-his-name, this host, oh, right, Lu Wentao, does he really know how to survive in the wilderness? Can he really win the audience’s favor?”

“They have a professional team, and Lu Wentao has also served!”

“Ha? Special forces? Or has he undergone some professional training? Do you really think by setting up some half-dead animals, you can pretend it’s real hunting?” Bi Fang casually picked up a small ornament on the table and examined it.

The reason Bi Fang could say these things wasn’t just because of his experience in a past life, nor was it the lesson learned from predecessors like Bear Grylls and Grandpa De. What was more important, he had the System!

Haven’t you heard a saying?

Don’t mess with a person who has traveled through time.

As long as he kept training relentlessly, and with the rewards from completing missions, it wouldn’t be long before even a professional special forces soldier in jungle warfare couldn’t catch up with him.

Lu Wentao?

Never heard of him. Better he sticks to his mountaineering streams!

Wang Weifeng was taken aback, not understanding what Bi Fang meant, but after pondering for a moment, softened his tone again, “Really, it’s unnecessary, Mr. Bi. Who would have issues with making money…”

But before he could finish, Bi Fang cut him off directly.

“If you can’t remove the recommendation ban, then I need to switch platforms. Shark TV isn’t worthy of my livestream.”

“Mr. Bi, where can you go? To Tiger Fang, which promotes softcore content? Or to Wolf Fang, which is on the decline? Or is it some other small platform? And even if you leave, the fact won’t change. Mr. Lu has a fan base and a strong team behind him. He will only be more successful on your foundation. Are you really content with that?”

Wang Weifeng still wouldn’t give up, “By then, even if you gain a bit of fame on another platform, what will others think? What are you, leaving Shark TV? A loser who couldn’t beat someone else?”

“What you’re thinking, I understand very well, but I also want to remind you, surviving in the wilderness isn’t as easy as you imagine. Good luck with that!” With complete disregard for the other party’s threat, Bi Fang said to Wang Weifeng before hanging up, “By the way, do me a favor and pass a message to Lu Wentao. Since he wants to replace me, he should be prepared to pay the price!”

“You shouldn’t…”

Wang Weifeng was about to say something, but all he heard was a dial tone, leaving him with a look of astonishment.

In his rental room, Bi Fang hung up and immediately sent a private message to all his fans on the backend, stating that he would no longer be streaming on Shark TV. He didn’t choose to stream an explanation; he couldn’t stand to show his face for another second on this disgusting platform!

What a joke!

Bi Fang felt seething frustration inside; Shark TV’s series of moves had caused a major setback in his plans, resulting in the loss of his fan base on Shark.

If there was an opportunity in the future, he would never let it go!

Even without considering their behavior of poaching talent, Bi Fang didn’t like the attitude of Shark TV. As a streamer seeking cooperation with their platform, he wasn’t there to be their subordinate. What gave them the right to be so high and mighty?

The good old times are gone! It’s an era where the people are in charge.

Luckily, the efforts on Shark’s platform weren’t in vain this time. I’ve gained some notoriety, made a decent amount of money, and solved the urgent financial issues. Most importantly, I’ve seen Shark TV’s true colors. If this hadn’t happened and I’d signed with them directly, who knows what kind of crap I’d have to put up with later on.

It’s just that I don’t know if I’ll be able to meet the System’s user requirements next time.

On the other hand, my fans on Shark TV who had followed me started to read the notice I posted, one after another, all shocked, and so my phone began to ring incessantly again.

Lord Mu, who was somewhat aware of the situation, guessed a few things and gave the fans a rough explanation before he reached out to me privately.

While I was negotiating with Shark, Lord Mu wasn’t just sitting around idle; he mobilized his connections to investigate the reasons behind Shark’s change of heart and even figured out the whole story.

I hadn’t expected Lord Mu to take it so seriously; I thought his promise to thoroughly investigate was just a polite gesture.

Decisive and direct action always proves more genuine than words—it’s a sign of true goodwill.

“Master Fang, do you remember the guild member we dismissed during the live stream? That Lu Wentao is part of that guild, and he specializes in the outdoor section. Way before your first call with Shark, that guild had made contact with a Shark TV executive, Wang Weifeng. In other words, they had already planned to string you along during your first conversation with them.”

After reading the message from Lord Mu, it was pretty much what I had speculated. However, it took me some serious thinking to remember which guild member Lord Mu was talking about.

At that time, I think I was catching rabbits and didn’t pay much attention to that guild member. Then I got a good scolding and vaguely remembered it, but I didn’t take it to heart at the moment. I never imagined it would cause such a huge mess now.

“How do you know all this so clearly?”

“Hehe, this might seem difficult to outsiders, but it’s easy to find out with a bit of networking. I only understood everything after I learned about the guild that Lu Wentao belongs to.”

Although Lord Mu made light of his explanation, I knew it wasn’t that easy. However, I didn’t show it; I just kept this act of kindness in mind, waiting for an opportunity to repay him in the future.

“Master Fang, where do you plan to stream now?”

“Haven’t decided yet, but definitely not on Shark.”

“That won’t do at all. Shark is just unscrupulous.” Lord Mu agreed fervently, adding seriously, “If I could convince my dad to start a streaming company, that would be great. I’d make sure to give you, Master Fang, the best treatment possible, promoting you heavily every day!”

Seeing this message made my eyelid twitch—this is a true tycoon.

We chatted a bit more before ending the conversation. Lord Mu said that if I decided on a streaming platform, I must tell him immediately so he could come and support the show.

Lord Mu genuinely wanted to be friends with me, not because of potential value, but out of genuine admiration for me as a person.

In my rental room, I took out a ballpoint pen and began to consider which streaming TV to focus on. Since Shark was definitely out of the question, I had to find another large platform. Each platform has its specific conditions, making the real choice quite a headache.

Excluding Shark, there really are only two other big platforms left—Tiger Fang and Wolf Fang.

Frankly speaking, neither situation is good.

The atmosphere on Tiger Fang’s platform is poor. Their issue isn’t about being deceitful like Shark; rather, they are very fond of “soft” content.

The big broadcasters are either gamers or dancing girls. For them, the outdoor section is just a category to show diversity. If I went there, I’d be totally out of place.

As for Wolf Fang, it’s actually on the decline, falling quite far behind Shark and Tiger Fang.

Ah, what a headache!
