Chapter 362: Chapter 263 Which Tycoon_1

Too many people followed Feng Yi’s award ceremony via live stream, and many were curious about what item he, as one of the prize recipients today, would offer for the auction.

Neither the host’s speech during the ceremony nor Feng Yi’s acceptance speech mentioned a word about it.

On stage, Feng Yi held the trophy and after finishing his thank-you speech, he bowed to the audience below and was ready to step down.

But the host quickly stopped him, as there were still a few questions left to ask.

"Feng Yi, actually, like me and many others who have heard of you, we all want to know, snakes, centipedes, especially venomous snakes and those particularly large pythons that are six or seven meters long, these are considered highly lethal creatures. To most people, just hearing their names might make them want to stay away. Why can you remain so calm in the face of such creatures that are so terrifying to the average person? To you, what are they exactly?"

Feng Yi almost blurted out "food and pets".

He exhaled softly.

No, he had been brainwashed by his butler too severely, he almost slipped up.

Feeling awkward inside but appearing extremely composed on the surface, he said:

"To me, whether it’s a terrifying centipede, a venomous snake, or a six or seven-meter-long python, in my eyes, they’re pretty much the same as ordinary chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep, or even cats and dogs. They’re all about... a normal state of mind."

How many people would be afraid of domestic animals like pigs, cows, sheep, or fowls like chicken and ducks?

Even many people would stop to pet a cute cat or dog they encounter on the street.

Online—

[To a master, everything is ordinary. You mortals will never understand!]

[Skill and courage go hand in hand]

[To a master catching snakes, it’s just being calm. To an ordinary person, it’s overestimating oneself and digging one’s own grave, a suicidal act]

[So, in Brother Se’s eyes, those venomous snakes, colossal pythons, and centipedes are also very cute creatures?]

[He didn’t say cute, just ’a normal state of mind’, which means he treats them like any small animal]

It reminded many people of the news about "kind passerby Feng demystifying and rescuing small animals" from a certain scenic spot’s fire station.

Back on the award stage.

The host then asked, "What about skills? When dealing with wild, dangerous creatures like venomous snakes and giant pythons, why are you always so accurate? Is it a matter of mindset or some other technique?"

Feng Yi seriously replied, "To put it simply, it’s a kind of survival instinct."

Online:

[Translation: I have my skills set here; there’s no comparison, nor a need for one. Every person has different talents.]

[Got it, like me, I can eat and sleep. My skills are in the wrong place! [Distressed]]

[The survival instincts of humans really differ more than the difference between humans and pigs]

On the award platform, the host didn’t dwell on this topic and praised Feng Yi a few more times.

Feng Yi responded with a shy smile.

This image was screenshot by netizens, who even photoshopped two spots of blush on his cheeks, creating a [bashful] emoji.

After that, Feng Yi returned to his seat from the stage.

As a newbie at the Guardian Award Ceremony, being able to stand on stage for such a long time was already quite an achievement, and the host wouldn’t keep him there indefinitely. Time was allotted to everyone, and there were many heavyweights to follow. The focus couldn’t remain solely on Feng Yi.

Carrying the trophy back to his seat, the people around him offered their congratulations, and Feng Yi responded with a humble attitude.

Here, he was just a kid and had to keep his attitude in check.

After sitting down, he didn’t immediately take pictures to post on his circle of friends. Like everyone else, Feng Yi continued watching the stage.

Not everyone could draw attention like Feng Yi. Many fields don’t receive much public notice, but there are still people who silently contribute and strive in those areas.

Some teams that had made significant contributions also shared their experiences when receiving their awards.

For instance, the team that protected migratory birds had gone deep into their habitats to observe them.

Protecting migratory wildlife isn’t just about building them a sanctuary up north, where they don’t need to go anywhere or worry about anything, and everything is provided for them. That’s not conservation.

If one day the funds run out and the sanctuary is gone, when the time for migration comes, and they don’t know where to go, with no one to feed them, and lacking viable survival skills, they’re left with only one outcome: death by freezing or starvation. Zoos can’t accommodate such large numbers of wild birds.

Under certain conditions, following the laws of nature, maintaining their survival instincts is crucial. More importantly, it’s about strengthening public awareness for the protection of migratory birds and their habitats.

Feng Yi was reminded of last year, when he got lost due to his poor sense of direction and ended up in the highlands, where he encountered several teams: some were searching for highland snakes, others were observing Siberian cranes. Compared to those teams, Feng Yi felt his own efforts were nothing.

The award ceremony continued, and several times when the live camera panned over Feng Yi’s area, his earnest expression was visible. He didn’t chat or laugh with the person next to him, nor did he sneak peeks at his phone.

Regardless of whether it was an act, Feng Yi’s performance today pleased the seniors in the circle.

After the award ceremony ended and people began to leave, Feng Yi finally took out his phone.

There were many private messages already, most of them congratulating him on his award.

At the exit of the venue, Professor Zhou called Feng Yi over for photos.

Feng Yi complied, putting his phone back into his pocket.

Holding the trophy, he was pulled by the seniors to take several group photos, with some familiar faces and some strangers—all of whom he addressed as "Professor".
