Chapter 492: Chapter 491: Watch Brother Show You What Survival in the Wild is!

"A popular host with tens of thousands of viewers? That shouldn’t be too difficult, right?"

"Of course, there’s hope," Wang Hao said with a smile. "Look, aren’t we already at around six thousand viewers? We just need to try a little harder, and it won’t be a problem."

"Yeah, the most I ever had when I was doing the food program was just over five hundred viewers, and now we’re at six thousand..." Mi Xiu tapped her lips with her finger, looking quite adorable as she did so. "But the higher the popularity gets, the harder it often is to increase it further. Do we have any other good ideas?"

"I’m not sure if there are any good strategies," Wang Hao shrugged. "All I know is that I’m really hungry after carrying you for so long..."

At this point, the dogs that were underfoot, seeing they couldn’t do much to Wang Hao, had all dispersed.

But while the dogs had scattered, Wang Hao was feeling troubled—the run had been so frantic that he had no idea how far they were from Dog Market, and the real problem was the growling hunger in his stomach. He was seriously starving!

"So, shall we go back and find something to eat?" Upon hearing that Wang Hao was hungry, Mi Xiu hurriedly said, "I’ll treat you to dinner, okay?"

"Remote waters can’t quench immediate thirst..." This is the way people are: it’s easy to talk when you’re not hungry, but once you are, it feels like your stomach is stuck to your back. At this point, Wang Hao was completely drained of energy. If he didn’t get some food in these mountains soon, he figured he’d be dried out by the time they reached the road...

But where could they possibly find something to eat in these deep forests?

The two were sitting on a tree branch figuring out what to do when Mi Xiu’s ears perked up. She called out, "Brother Hao, over there, by where we’re sitting, it sounds like there’s water!"

"Water?" Wang Hao listened carefully, then suddenly smiled and said, "There is water! Where there’s water, there are fish! And if there are fish, we can catch them to eat! Let’s go, let’s fill our bellies first, then we can think about how to get back!"

The two of them climbed down from the tree and followed the sound of the water.

The weather at the time was absolutely beautiful, a blue sky with a few drifting clouds, the air fresh and pleasant. Walking through the woods with a light breeze occasionally bringing down a few leaves could undoubtedly put anyone in a great mood.

Wild fruits too numerous to count or name filled the forest, while vibrant wildflowers bloomed splendidly, and here and there, a fluffy squirrel would leap among the tall tree branches.

"Brother Hao, this place is really nice," exclaimed Mi Xiu. "Look, there are squirrels, so cute!"

"Is there any need to ask?" Wang Hao smiled. "Wild cooking is great in places like this, it’s just a shame we weren’t prepared today..."

It wasn’t too far to the source of the sound, and after walking about a hundred meters or so, they saw the glittering light reflecting off the water, revealing a small lake about twenty meters in diameter before them.

"Wow! This lake water is so cool!" Mi Xiu marveled. "It’s much better than the river near my home, look at this water, it’s so refreshing!"

"Can the waters of a city compare to those of the wild?" Wang Hao replied with a smile. "Alright, this is good news. Let’s find a spot sheltered from the wind to settle down and prepare a nice dinner. Aren’t you worried about your viewer count? Watch me today as I give you a show of what ’survival in the wild’ means!"

Survival in the wild!

Just the sound of that was awesome!

The viewers in the live stream were instantly excited—

"Brother Hao is amazing, even knows how to survive in the wild! Holy cow, that’s tough!"

"Brother Hao is rock-solid, can you really find something to eat in the wild? Don’t tell me you’re going to eat grass roots and tree bark!"

"How can you talk like that? Could Brother Hao do something like that? If he’s really starving, he’d directly eat dirt!"

Mi Xiu looked at the barrage in the live streaming room and angrily said, "Don’t you talk about Brother Hao like that! Brother Hao is really impressive, if it wasn’t for him last time, someone would have gotten bitten by a dog!"

Wang Hao: "..."

Without me, you wouldn’t even know how to get chased by a dog, beauty...

Of course, he just thought that to himself. Saying it out loud? No way!

But speaking of wilderness survival, Wang Hao indeed had some serious skills—

The two quickly found a spot sheltered from the wind to settle down, and Wang Hao said, "Mi Xiu, be careful. Look out for thorns on the grass, whether there are many pebbles, the dampness of the ground, and if there are any anthills. If there are, you bet you won’t get a good night’s sleep. Also, remember not to wander too far from me. Otherwise, if a wolf takes you away, I can’t help you."

Wolves!

As soon as they heard that, the live streaming room exploded again—

"Brother Hao, we don’t have wolves in the South. You can’t just make stuff up like that!"

"Who says we don’t have them? Perverts are wolves too, don’t be racist! Actually, I’m more worried about the goddess now! Hey you guys, do you think with this atmosphere, the two might, you know, get it on in the wild?"

"That could happen! Live streaming it, damn, thinking about it is thrilling!"

"Totally, imagine doing it in the lake, how enjoyable!"

"I can’t take it anymore, guys, I’m going to get some tissues ready! Stand by for the big plane lift-off anytime!"

"It’s jerking off, you hillbilly!"

The live streaming room burst into laughter, while Mi Xiu thought to herself, "Brother Hao’s attention to detail is really impressive. With his skills, there’s no way it was just luck before."

After checking the ground, Wang Hao said, "Okay, there’s no problem with the spot. Next, we need to gather some dry wood, otherwise, we won’t be able to cook anything later. We can’t eat raw food, right?"

"Yeah, Brother Hao, should I go gather the firewood?" Mi Xiu was eager to try: "I think I can handle that."

"No, if we go, we should go together," Wang Hao decisively shook his head and said, "That way, if there’s any danger, I can take care of you. Otherwise, you might not get away in time if you really encounter a wolf or a tiger!"

"There are tigers here?!" Mi Xiu was shocked: "Brother Hao, I may not be book-smart, but don’t fool me!"

"Isn’t that obvious," Wang Hao snorted and began to spout nonsense off the cuff: "The South China Tiger has a wide distribution in China and there are quite a few of them. They were widely found in vast areas of East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, and in some regions like Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Hubei, Sichuan, Henan, Shanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, etc. So, unfortunately, this happens to be within their range."

In fact, in his previous life, Wang Hao could be certain there wouldn’t be any tigers here, since there were fewer than 25 South China Tigers in the entire country. However, this world seemed to have suffered far less environmental damage than his previous one, so whether there actually were tigers here was not something he could be certain of.

"How scary!" Mi Xiu instinctively moved closer to Wang Hao: "Brother Hao... Brother Hao, I’ve decided not to stray more than three meters from your side!"

"Now that’s more like it," Wang Hao said with a chuckle, nodding. He wove his lies confidently, without so much as blushing: "Okay, let’s go have a look around to see if there are any immediate dangers like venomous snakes or wild beasts."

They went to patrol the vicinity, but unexpectedly, they hadn’t walked fifty meters when they heard a voice not far ahead—

"Dear viewers, as a wilderness survival streamer, I will walk alone in secluded mountains, rainforests, deserts, cliffs, and isolated islands with limited survival tools, and live stream it all to you! So today, I’ve come to the famous deep forest area—Jin Ming Mountain for a wilderness survival activity!"
