Chapter 495: Chapter 494: Not a Mediocre Person!

"Talk about enemies on a narrow road, just as Mi Xiu and I were preparing for our live stream, Zhao Jun showed up!"

Wang Hao and Mi Xiu turned their heads and saw the muscular Zhao Jun, who by now had reached the lakeside. As he walked, he said, "Next, everyone will get to see how I build a simple stove in this kind of basic environment."

Wang Hao and Mi Xiu exchanged looks, then both turned to their phones.

Inside Zhao Jun’s live stream room, the audience kept sending barrage comments—

"Brother Jun is so badass, able to thrive wherever he goes."

"6666666666, we want to see the stove-building live, Brother Jun!"

"Brother Jun, how do you actually build this stove?"

Many were asking how to build the stove, and even more viewers who had lived in the city since childhood bluntly asked, "What is a stove?"

As society advanced rapidly, many families have long been using microwaves, ovens, or at least gas stoves, so most students had never seen an actual wood-burning stove. No wonder, they only have the latest albums of stars, the latest model of cell phones, and the most fashionable clothes on their mind. Many don’t recognize washboards, stoves, and other household items from the past.

Therefore, Zhao Jun’s live stream of building a stove outdoors was indeed enough to pique people’s curiosity.

"Brother Hao," Mi Xiu said anxiously, "Their popularity is booming. What should we do? They already have over thirty-five thousand people watching!"

At this moment, the audience in their own live stream room also became anxious—

"Brother Hao, we need stove-building! Live-stream a face-slap, Brother Hao!"

"Yeah, Brother Hao, you can’t back down when they’re building a stove over there! You have to make one too and beat them!"

"Brother Hao, I opened a second account to check out their stream, and they already have over thirty-five thousand viewers!"

Wang Hao smiled, looking unconcerned, and said, "Don’t worry yet, let’s see what’s happening on his end first." Then, addressing the phone, he said, "Guys, you can totally relax. Today Brother Hao guarantees your satisfaction!"

At this time, Zhao Jun had already taken action.

It must be said that those who dare do outdoor survival streaming do have some skills. Zhao Jun found a few flat lakeside pebbles, set them up on either side, tested their stability with his hands, and then took out a small iron pot from his backpack and placed it on top—his stove was ready!

"Dear viewers," having built the stove, Zhao Jun glanced casually in Wang Hao’s direction, and after one look, he turned back and laughed, "The stove is ready, just like that. Also, everyone must remember, when choosing wood for the stove, never use damp branches or else you might just suffocate when it starts burning."

In Zhao Jun’s live stream room—

"666666666666666666, Brother Jun is simply incredible!"

"This stove is worth a hundred points, no fear of making you arrogant!"

"Brother Jun is always so badass, let the big rockets fly!"

Wang Hao saw it all and kept scoffing inwardly.

This Zhao Jun is indeed a bit skilled, I must say. Not to mention anything else, first he gathered all the dry branches by the lake into his own hands, and then that last comment, sealing off all paths for me.

Now, there’s no dry wood left by the lake. Not to mention whether those wet branches can even catch fire, even if they do, I’d surely be choked to death by the smoke! This move really scoops the embers from the bottom of the pot. Impressive!

"Bro, " Wang Hao sneered, "You grabbing all the dry wood like that, that’s not very sporting, is it?"

"Oh? Really?" Zhao Jun looked toward Wang Hao, with a teasing shrug, "Is it? Oh, but that’s normal, it’s survival in the wild. If I left everything for you, that wouldn’t be surviving in the wild, it would just be picking up leftovers, so I really had no choice."

As he said this, the audience in Wang Hao’s live streaming room exploded in anger!

"Brother Hao, this guy is asking for a beating, I hope he gets taken down!"

"Exactly, exactly, I’ve never seen someone so shameless! Taking all the resources for himself and acting like it’s his due!"

"Brother Hao, he’s clearly challenging you! You must not let him get away with it!"

Mi Xiu couldn’t stand to watch, pouting angrily, she said, "Brother Hao, how can this guy be like this? Talking about survival in the wild in these circumstances! He’s being utterly unreasonable!"

Wang Hao just smiled and shook his head.

It’s rare to offer fuel in snowy weather, but it’s normal to kick someone when they’re down.

He’s live streaming, taking advantage of my tough situation to scoop the embers, and his popularity is naturally soaring.

After all, the audience loves to see someone in trouble begging for help.

But unfortunately for them, with Brother Hao here, if I let him gloat, then I might as well not be in the game!

"Don’t worry, everyone," Wang Hao said to the live stream with a smile, "Just wait and see. Brother Hao is going to show you what’s really impressive!"

Mi Xiu saw everything and kept a straight face, but inside, she was immensely shocked: "In such an environment, it’s like the oil’s run out and the lamp’s dying, yet Brother Hao remains so calm. He said he was chased far while carrying the roast duck on his back, but he acts like nothing’s wrong, it’s baffling."

Although she couldn’t fathom Wang Hao’s depth, she vaguely felt that this Wang Hao was no ordinary person!

By that time, Zhao Jun had already got the stove burning and took out raw beef, chicken, lamb, eggs, pork, tomatoes, salt, vegetable oil, and a variety of other seasonings from his pack. The meats, stored in ziplock bags and chilled with ice, were very fresh.

What was surprising was that this guy didn’t only prepare condiments and meat, but he even took out a bunch of rice from his pack!

"Ladies and gentlemen," Zhao Jun said as he pulled things out, "I have a lot of experience surviving in the wild, and next I’m going to show you how to make a hearty dinner in the wilderness."

As he spoke, he continued to dig things out of his pack: a kitchen knife, a cooking pot, a plastic cutting board, a ladle, bowls, chopsticks. He even had chili, garlic, green onions, chicken powder, cooking wine, oyster sauce, pepper powder, sesame oil, cinnamon, star anise, and so on – essentially a mini kitchen.

Holy cow, this guy’s got skills!

Wang Hao looked at him with new respect, then saw Zhao Jun swiftly cut the beef and lamb into small pieces, blanch them, slice the loofah, and then heat oil in the pot, add garlic slices, ginger, red peppers to fragrant, then add water, salt, chicken powder, sugar, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce to boil before putting in the beef, lamb, and loofah, and covering with a lid.

All these movements were quick and efficient, organized and smooth, without any clumsiness. Mi Xiu watched, dazzled and dumbfounded, "Brother Hao, is he a streamer or a chef?"

"Can someone be a big streamer with over thirty thousand viewers without some real skills?" Wang Hao smiled, "Don’t rush it, let’s watch a bit longer. Wait till I make my move!"
