Chapter 43: A Ten-Year Old Fan Shows Up Uninvited!

The popularity value reached more than eight hundred thousand, and this was just the first workday’s live stream. The numbers were bound to grow, perhaps even breaking a million.
This is the advantage of staying on a big platform; as long as the platform genuinely wants to channel traffic your way, hundreds of thousands of followers is not difficult to achieve. It all depends on whether the streamer can keep the audience.
Unfortunately, Bi Fang didn’t like it. Instead of worrying every day about partners stabbing you in the back, it was much better to stay steady at Wolf Fang and work together to grow and strengthen the platform.
What’s fake can’t be real, and what’s real can’t be fake.
Did they really think that without some real skills, they could survive in the wilderness?
Bi Fang felt somewhat sorry for Lu Wentao. The association he had signed with was too greedy for quick returns, rushing to have their streamers imitate whatever was trending without considering their personal capabilities.
It was only because Lu Wentao was lucky that nothing went wrong this time. If he encountered a wild Black Bear during his first survival attempt, no one knew what would happen.
Hopefully, the blood wouldn’t splatter on him.
Bi Fang shook his head and stopped thinking about it, beginning his preliminary preparations for survival.
These days, a nice item appeared in the shop—a Small Hunter Combat Knife. It was very well-balanced, suitable not only for throwing but also exceptionally safe and stable in the hand, and its tip was extremely sharp. Such a good knife for only 410 Points—Bi Fang did not hesitate to buy it.
These days, Bi Fang became obsessed with this hunting knife, and now he could use it in combination with the Field Army’s skills for some good practice.
Meanwhile, fans who received the news were causing an uproar in the fan group. Some were dissatisfied with Lu Wentao’s shamelessness, while others were passionately discussing Mohe.
It was clear that they all had confidence in Bi Fang and genuinely liked his live streams.
Shark TV Headquarters.
“How’s the situation?”
Wang Weifeng, with his assertive manner, arrived at the tech room and asked while observing Lu Wentao on the large screen.
“Just as the data analysts predicted, the current figures are very good. Even without the support from the Tami Association to boost the rankings, Lu Wentao’s trend is still positive. The only thing is…”
“The only thing is what?” Wang Weifeng frowned as he looked at the hesitant technician.
“There’s a group of people crazily spamming the chat, saying he’s not as good as Master Fang, and directly, the live stream quality is also a notch worse,” said the technician, growing quieter as he watched Wang Weifeng’s expression change.
“Cyber soldiers?”
“No, they’re all active users.” The tech was truly amazed by this, which caused him to hedge a bit earlier.
It was unbelievable that a streamer who had only broadcast once could swiftly build up a base of loyal fans—it was simply unscientific!
“Then set up keyword filters, one for one. Delete all mentions, and if anyone really keeps posting, ban them outright!”
“Yes!”
The technician jumped at the command but immediately agreed and started the appropriate backend operations.
This Bi Fang, his presence was truly lingering like a ghost!
Watching the technician working in the backend, Wang Weifeng’s face darkened, and the disrespectful words of the other party seemed to echo in his ears. However, it appeared the opponent’s live stream was also scheduled for these few days.
As a competitor, he always kept an eye on Wolf Fang TV’s every move, and so he had a crystal-clear understanding of their high-priced invitation to Bi Fang.
He just didn’t know if it would impact Lu Wentao…
Maybe he could send someone to “show support”…
Wang Weifeng, in just a moment, had come up with a plan. They were competitors after all—there was nothing to feel uneasy about.
Business is business, without any embarrassment.
Just wondering what brand of drone the other party had that could produce such clear footage?
Drones worth tens of thousands seemed like nothing compared to theirs.
Three days later, Bi Fang officially set off!
This time, he was far from the disheveled state of his first departure. He didn’t have to sell system items for a plane ticket, not because he was suddenly rich, but because Wolf Fang TV had arranged everything thoroughly without a single worry.
Without spending a cent, they randomly dropped Bi Fang into the depths of the Mohe forest by helicopter!
Mohe, part of the Heilonghe Province in the Greater Khingan Range, which is the largest mountain range in northern China. Beyond it lies the Outer Khingan Ridge, already outside national borders.
But long ago, that area had also been a part of China’s territory…
Snap back to reality, Bi Fang watched the snow-covered forest through the helicopter window.
Undulating hillocks drift by, the forest sea vast and indistinct.
The vegetation in Mohe consists of coniferous forests, now completely blanketed in white snow.
The snow dust atop the snowy woods is stirred by the wind, resembling a white sandstorm, with sharp peaks rising more than a dozen meters high, the ghastly white turning the world into a monotonous expanse.
Bi Fang touched the icy, bone-chilling window glass, yet his blood surged with excitement in his heart, the fear of the severe cold vanished without a trace!
Meanwhile, on Wolf Fang TV’s website and app, there had already been a notification about his upcoming live stream.
At Wolf Fang Headquarters, Wang Yongbo stared at the viewer count in Bi Fang’s live room, clenching his fists as he saw that over five thousand people were already waiting in the room even before the stream had started, at nine o’clock in the morning.
These were all real viewers! Not just online popularity or heat!
This investment was a surefire profit!
Above the snowy plains, a helicopter painted in red and white roared, skimming the snow-covered woods like a giant bird, its massive rotors kicking up fierce winds and swirling snow in every direction.
Bi Fang sat inside the helicopter, performing a final check on his equipment.
After confirming everything was correct, he launched the drone with the same title as always: “Master Fang Live Stream: Survival in the Bitter Cold!”
Woosh!
A blue luminescence flashed across the surface of the drone, and the next second, it silently hovered, stopping in front of Bi Fang.
The home page’s main feature recommendation had also officially started streaming.
This was the best kind of recommendation, and also the most valuable.
As soon as one entered Wolf Fang TV, everyone could see this live stream.
Almost instantly, tens of thousands of viewers poured into the live room like a tidal wave, and the screen even temporarily experienced some lag.
Ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand…
Within ten minutes, the number of viewers was fast approaching thirty thousand!
A full thirty thousand plus people were watching the live stream, and this was merely the beginning!
“Looking back at the course of human evolution and change, if our ancestors hadn’t dared to imagine and venture, hadn’t been brave enough to innovate and willing to sacrifice with their grand courage and magnificent spirit, humans would not have taken canoes to surf the seas, to explore the infinite mysteries of the other side of the ocean.
Human curiosity leads to the impulse to adventure, and human adventures light the torch of civilization.
Adventure lies not just in nature’s seas and mountains, deserts and swamps, but also in the densely populated cities.”
Inside the helicopter, Bi Fang exhaled a puff of white breath and smiled at the camera, “I’m Bi Fang, a professional explorer. This time, I meet you on the snowy plains!”
“Master Fang! We’ve finally waited for you!”
“Wuwuwu, we’ve waited for you so hard!”
“I’ve been staring at this feature recommendation for three days now, and this is the first time I’ve seen a preview for a live stream. It’s really tantalizing, and now we finally get to see it.”
“Is this an upgrade from a musket to a cannon? You’ve even got a helicopter now?”
“B Island Field Army has come to watch the battle!”
“Wang Malu, are you there? Come out and watch Master Fang show off!”
“I’m watching, I’m watching, I am Wang Malu, stop calling!”
“11111111”
“23333333”
“Isn’t this a rip-off of that Shark platform’s Lu Wentao? Has Wolf Fang TV really sunk this low? Although the host is better looking than those on Shark’s platform.”
“Bullshit! It’s that Lu who has no shame, ripping off Master Fang! The video dates on B Island are proof, it’s certainly earlier than any Lu Wentao’s live streaming sessions!”
“Exactly! Master Fang is the true pioneer of Wilderness Survival live streaming! Lu Wentao is just a pretender!”
Bi Fang hadn’t expected that the moment he started broadcasting, people would be arguing about this. He swiftly urged, “Alright, alright, there’s no such thing as plagiarism in Wilderness Survival, everyone has their own skills, right?”
But before he could finish speaking, a flurry of dazzling special effects illuminated the entire live room.
Bi Fang squinted and caught sight of a familiar title in his view.
“Congratulations to Lord Mu for becoming an Emperor in Master Fang’s live room!”
“Lord Mu has gifted 100000 Wolf Fangs to the host—huh, a decade-long fan has arrived uninvited; did I miss the front row? If I did, please make some room, everyone..”
