Chapter 270: Chapter 267: A Drop Merges into the Sea
How big is the gap?
Faced with the audience’s question, Bi Fang stretched out his index finger and thumb, leaving a tiny gap between them.
“About… just a little bit?”
[Here it comes! Fingertip Universe!]
[A tiny bit!]
[Is this sarcasm? This must be sarcasm, right?]
Leaving the audience in suspense, Bi Fang didn’t delay any further and planned to end today’s live broadcast.
“Okay, that’s it for today’s hunting session. There will be two more rounds of hunting in the next two days, so stay tuned.”
After finishing, the live stream went dark and disconnected.
[Wow, come on, has Old Fang become this abrupt? Hasn’t he been streaming just for a few hours?]
[Old Fang has changed, indeed. Once a man gets wealthy, he starts to brush people off. He used to chat more before, and now he pulls up his pants and doesn’t recognize us.]
[It’s all because you guys spoiled him!]
The audience in the live chat were chattering noisily while Bi Fang took off his headphones and discussed further developments of the show with Jerret and others. As an “experienced player,” Bi Fang’s ideas brought a lot of surprises when he exchanged thoughts with Jerret and the team.
“My god, Bi Fang, it’s such a pity you’re not a program planner. If all these shows you’ve proposed actually get produced, I think I can be popular for another thirty years!”
Jerret couldn’t stop praising the ideas that Bi Fang had suggested. Just by listening to them, they were captivating enough, and it goes without saying that they would be a hit if actually made.
Bi Fang waved his hand.
It was an overstatement; he was just standing on the shoulders of giants.
…
The next day.
“Good morning.”
“Morning.”
After greeting the staff, Bi Fang sat in front of the screen, deep in thought.
The System had just sent a task—to go on a survival mission in the rainforest, but Bi Fang had flatly refused it.
He liked adventure and nature, but there was no need to rush; it was still before the Spring Festival, and taking a long vacation occasionally was also good.
Constantly testing the limits of danger without taking a break could lead to a breakdown; moreover, due to his flawless performance so far, he had always completed the System tasks above expectations, so he wasn’t worried about not having enough Points.
What Bi Fang was considering was a different issue: Could the Wilderness Arena become a System task?
No amount of thinking could substitute for one actual trial, so Bi Fang opened the task editor and began to compile this mission. If he could generate the task, then it would prove to be feasible.
Task Name: Wilderness Arena
Location: Rocky Mountains
Mode: Show Supervisor
Difficulty: R2
Task Requirements: None
Main Task One: Start a livestream with a sustained online viewership of over eight hundred and fifty thousand.
Main Task Two: All sixteen contestants to survive without any serious injuries or disabilities.
Side Task: Free exploration.
Guaranteed Reward: 1000 Wilderness Points.
Time Limit: 15 days.
After finishing the task editing, Bi Fang clicked confirm. When the prompt for task generation appeared, he couldn’t help showing a huge smile.
This judging gig was more than fair—it was a total windfall!
It was so easy to freeload a wave of task rewards, even if it was just a few points, that was pretty good.
The task difficulty plummeted by a whole major grade out of thin air, which showed it wasn’t too difficult, at least much simpler than migrating geese or surviving at sea.
If nothing unexpected happened, Bi Fang might not even need to leave the helicopter and just watch the players perform.
Of course, if the players really encountered insurmountable dangers, it would definitely be a test for Bi Fang, so it wasn’t completely without difficulty.
“What are you laughing at?” Jerret walked into the RV and saw Bi Fang laughing, handing over a bottle of mineral water as he asked.
“I just remembered something funny.”
“What funny thing?”
Bi Fang went along with the conversation and was about to say his wife had given birth, but then he remembered he didn’t even have a girlfriend, so he abruptly stopped and evaded, “It won’t be funny if I say it out loud.”
“Alright then,” Jerret said, not dwelling on it, and went off to direct the staff.
Soon, the second capture session began!
Bi Fang started the live broadcast and, after greeting the eagerly awaiting audience, began to introduce today’s contestants.
At the same time, he casually opened another betting pool with the exact same options, but the voting results were quite different from yesterday.
The audience almost unanimously bet on complete failure, with only a handful betting on anything else, but even they were betting on just one or two escaping successfully, with almost none choosing three or four.
[I’m not going to be fooled anymore!]
[Great, with my sharp eyes, I have already seen through everything!]
[Tell the truth, the group of four is actually strong as a horse, I don’t believe anymore that anyone can escape successfully]
Yesterday, the group of four had captured all four contestants effortlessly, causing the audience to lose confidence in the players, even though today’s contestants were entirely new, people still didn’t believe anyone could escape successfully.
“Ah, today’s contestants have a lot more value than yesterday’s.”
Bi Fang sighed. He had opened the betting pool only after publishing the players’ information, but he didn’t expect the audience to trust him so little.
The scene shifted, and the current contestants seemed completely unaware of the looming danger, strolling casually on the streets, the epitome of skilled bravery.
Bono Cross, a member of the United States Marine Corps, later joined the Ranger Regiment.
Bi Fang placed him in the first interval for today’s capture operation, holding high expectations, believing that if anyone could escape the capture of the group of four, it would undoubtedly be him.
“Perhaps many military fans can list from memory the special forces of various countries, such as Rice Country’s Royal Air Service, the Polar Bear’s Alpha Squad, Ugly Country’s Navy SEALs, Delta Force, and so on.
However, there is also a rather formidable unit within Ugly Country’s battle order, often serving as pathfinders for other units including special forces, and they are the strongest light infantry, bar none.
This unit’s responsibility is to take the lead in combat, to assault and infiltrate the enemy, comprised almost entirely of Special Recon Soldiers, and that is the ‘Ranger Regiment’.”
It’s worth noting that Ugly Country’s history of statehood spans only a little over two hundred years, while the Ranger Regiment, a historically significant and formidable military unit in the Ugly Army, has origins dating back nearly three hundred years.
They are often mentioned alongside the Army’s special forces, Delta Force, and the Navy SEALS.”
Bi Fang gave a brief introduction that stirred a great deal of excitement among the audience.
To be honest, the audience was somewhat unfamiliar with the Ranger Regiment, but they knew well about Delta Force and the Navy SEALs from movies and TV shows, where they often appear as tough characters capable of decimating a gang single-handedly just because the villains provoked them.
[Damn, is this guy that strong?]
[Crap, why didn’t I check up on the Ranger Regiment beforehand?]
[Does this mean that this person might actually escape?]
Bi Fang nodded, “That’s right, the Ranger Regiment is adept at assault and infiltration, which gives them a strong advantage in this kind of capture operation. The so-called strongest light infantry isn’t just a name for nothing!”
As the group of four closed in, the Boss contacted the opposite side via walkie-talkie, planning to launch a joint attack when his gaze suddenly turned blank.
Where’s the person?
