Chapter 48 - 48 Poverty Limits Imagination
Following Bi Fang’s successful escape from Glacier Valley, the bullet chats were filled with congratulations, full of admiration and praise for him. Occasionally, a few Spaceships would drift by, making others green with envy.
At this moment, several virtual gifts caught everyone’s attention.
[Pete Not Peeling gifted the streamer a Spaceship*i-Holy crap! Master Fang, you’re freaking awesome! You are my big bro!)
[Jun Not Seen gifted the streamer a Spaceship*2-Xiaocong’s too stingy, when it comes to rewarding the streamer, watch how I do it.]
[Pete Not Peeling gifted the streamer a Spaceship*5-Are you talking money with me?]
[Jun Not Seen gifted the streamer a Spaceship*10-No, I’m just stating the facts.]
Holy shit, are these rich folks who know each other in real life trying to compete?
The audience was dumbfounded as they watched one Spaceship after another fly by.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaocong and Kong Chao had gotten all riled up, each round more intense than the last.
In the living room, Kong Chao, using his height and build, pinned down Wang Xiaocong’s head and laughed boisterously, “Pete Not Peeling? More like you’re very ‘peeling.’ Give up, you’ve already spent all your pocket money for the month, where do you get the money to reward? First place is mine!”
“Inyour dreams!”
Wang Xiaocong, refusing to concede, shrugged his shoulders and slipped out from under Kong Chao’s grip, continuing to top up his phone, “I still have plenty of New Year’s money, so don’t delude yourself about surpassing me! ” “What!”
Kong Chao gasped in shock and quickly glanced at his phone. Sure enough, with another refresh, first place on the reward leaderboard had changed hands.
“That’s outrageous, just you wait! I’m going to call in reinforcements!”
“You think I don’t have brothers? Who’s afraid of who!”
Wang Xiaocong and Kong Chao glared at each other and each grabbed their phones to start making calls.
With the two of them leading the charge in gifting Spaceships, the live stream’s activity soared even higher. With viewership already surpassing three hundred thousand, people were exclaiming in disbelief.
In the back end, Wang Yongbo, who had been monitoring the data, was so ecstatic he could hardly contain himself. It had been so long since Wolf Fang had seen such a hot live streaming event!
Outsiders thought Wolf Fang TV was pretty chill, but in reality, every year Wang Yongbo watched Wolf Fang TV’s traffic decline steadily, feeling more anxious than anyone. Yet he was powerless to stop it, and the lower the traffic, the less new streamers wanted to join, not to mention the famous ones. This vicious cycle worsened Wolf Fang’s situation year after year.
Now that there was finally a glimmer of hope, how could he not be thrilled!
Bi Fang, you truly are my lucky star!
Lying on the ground for a while, Bi Fang got up again and looked at the fissure nearby. He said with a sense of relief, “That was really dangerous just now. If I had fallen, the chances of surviving would have been slim, so remember, when you’re trying to survive in snow-covered areas, always watch your step because dangers may be lurking under the snow.”
Bi Fang looked around and noticed that the glacier valley was very long. After circling for a while, he found a narrow spot that was less than a meter wide and not too deep. He took a brisk step and leaped over the glacier valley.
“As you’ve just seen, the edges of the glacier valley are not stable, so if you want to leap across, never choose a channel that’s barely jumpable. Make sure its width is within one meter. Of course, if you can take a detour, you should. I took the risk because I was in a hurry, so my actions just now are not commendable.”
[Not commendable…]
[Says no, but the body is honest (smirk)]
[Eh, I see a path but won’t take it, just jump, just for fun.]
After the shock, the Shuiyou (Online Friends/Audience) reverted to their silly selves.
Bi Fang shook his head and glanced at the live stream chatroom, suddenly noticing the changes on the reward leaderboard. It used to be Lord Mu’s throne at the top, but now it had slipped to third!
This is indeed a rare occurrence.
Before, the situation was too critical, and Bi Fang didn’t notice, but now, looking back through the records, he realized it was two students who hid rewarded him.
Are there really so many rich second generations these days?
Bi Fang shook his head, and just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly recalled some news from his past life and quickly asked the top two on the leaderboard, “When it comes to rewards, just do what you can afford. Please never do anything illegal to give rewards!”
[Rest assured, Master Fang, this is just my weekly pocket money, it’s not a big deal.]
[Exactly, once my dad is back next week, I’ll be fully back to life! Then, number one on the leaderboard will definitely be no match for me!]
[Don’t dream! It’s not like you’re the only one with parents!]
Damn! Is it poverty that has limited my imagination?
Bi Fang was speechless, this week’s pocket money was almost catching up to what he earned from one live broadcast.
Don’t think about it, can’t think about it.
After chatting just a bit, he felt weak all over, and demons of the heart kept emerging, fearing that if this continued, his life wouldn’t last long.
Having gotten the answers, Bi Fang stopped talking and silently continued on his way.
At first glance, the world cloaked in white was very beautiful, but as time passed, it inevitably seemed a bit monotonous and boring.
Moreover, as the sun rose higher, the reflection from the snow became stronger, and many viewers even felt dizzy just by looking at the snowy fields.
“You guys are getting snowblindness.”
Bi Fang quickly dimmed the light from the drone a bit, since he hadn’t felt it himself before and thought the viewers would be fine too, so he hadn’t taken any precautions.
Now that he saw many viewers commenting that their eyes felt uncomfortable, he realized what was happening.
Snow blindness is an inflammation caused by ultraviolet light damaging the eyes. Because the reflectivity of white snow to sunlight is extremely high, nearly 95%, under such conditions, facing the snowy fields is almost no ’ different from staring directly at the sun. After a while, the eyes damaged by ultraviolet light will start to tear and redden.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t feel anything unusual myself earlier, so I didn’t think about this,” Bi Fang first apologized to the viewers, then continued, “Fortunately, you’re watching through a drone, so the reaction won’t be very severe. Just look out the window for a while and you ‘ll be fine.”
“Once you really get snow blindness, it takes three to five days to recover. In Wilderness Survivalist, this is undoubtedly very fatal. So on the snowy fields, to prevent snow blindness, we can use sunglasses or a dark strip of cloth to cover up a bit, which can effectively weaken the strong light.”
“Of course, if you really don’t have any resources at hand, you can also use coal apply it under the eyelids, and this can also effectively reduce the irritation of the bright light.”
Bi Fang said this as he took out a dark-colored T-shirt from his backpack, tore off a strip of cloth, made cuts in it, and tied it over his eyes.
The dark cloth absorbed light, and just by tying it near the eyes, it could reduce the amount of light entering the eyes.
[So cool, it’s got that assassin vibe.]
[I’ll make one too]
[Don’t even think about it. You think it’s cool because Master Fang is already handsome. If you did it, it wouldn’t work out.]
[Well said, when someone is good-looking, even when they pick at their feet, you find it charming.]
“Alright, that should do it.”
Bi Fang tested the snugness of the cloth strip to make sure it wouldn’t fall off easily, nodded his head, and then took out a water bottle from his chest to take a couple of sips.
After a few hours of body heat transfer, the water in the bottle had all melted, and it even had a bit of warmth to it. It was pleasant to drink without irritating the stomach, perfect for quenching thirst.
