Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 450: Chapter 448: Live Broadcast, Start!

The interior and exterior of the venue seemed like two different worlds; the clamor was silenced the moment one stepped through the door, much like a tide crashing into the rocks and breaking into spray.

Cao Lifeng stood there, dazed, with a tide of people flowing past him.

“This is way too awesome.”

Ge Liyang looked around, and every thickly-painted oil painting brought the most intense, most shocking visual experience, with emotions crashing over the soul like relentless waves.

Black Bear, Wolf Fang, Shark, Goose, Shark, Blue Whale, Mount Everest—each painting delivered a shockingly unimaginable impact; when all these images were displayed together, they created a spectacular scene that left thousands speechless.

In a corner, Yao Jun, who was watching secretly, couldn’t help but punch the air in celebration, “We made it!”

Ten minutes later, images of the gallery began popping up on major social media platforms, with the highest curiosity and attention undoubtedly being on the contents of the first pavilion.

Other than that, the Rainforest Museum and the Desert Pavilion were the main attractions; ocean pavilions were nothing new, but the Rainforest Museum and the Desert Pavilion were firsts in the country, and perhaps even in the world.

“Damn, aren’t these oil paintings too big? Are you sure they’re not murals?”

“They really look good, more dynamic than photos. Does anyone have high-resolution scans? I want them as wallpapers.”

Netizens uniformly expressed their appreciation for the oil paintings, particularly the dedicated fans who wished they could get one for their homes.

The reality is…

They actually could.

In the souvenir shop, aside from replicas of Wolf Fang, Shark Tooth, Q-version figurines, and artistic novelty keepsakes, there were also smaller electronic scan pictures—quite affordable at ten yuan each.

However, smaller-scale replicas of the actual oil paintings did exist, albeit at a much heftier price, and generally, people would just look rather than buy.

“Have you seen the Rainforest Museum? Good lord, a video of just walking straight for over ten minutes still didn’t cover the whole thing, only halfway through.”

“The indoor waterfall is a bit over the top, the budget is burning.”

“You think it’s just indoor scenery? NONONO, it’s actually an indoor ecosystem. It’s open to see what kind of impact human activities have on the environment. Once the experiment is over, we can proceed with the construction of an ecosystem under the atmospheric dome on the moon.”

“The Security Bureau is online.”

“Why does that Golden Python look so familiar? Seems like I’ve seen it somewhere before.”

In the three major pavilions, the ocean pavilion was indeed beautiful, but it still didn’t offer the novelty and interest of the other two, and its popularity was slightly behind.

“Damn, kind of regret not going now, especially since it’s Children’s Day, I could have taken my son.”

“I’ve been regretting it since I missed the tickets online, I heard the tickets for the day are almost sold out.”

“There are too many people, better wait for later. What’s so good about being crammed?”

“No, they’re controlling the number of visitors. The remaining tickets are decided based on the number of visitors for the day. It just looks crowded, but once you’re divided into the various pavilions, the experience is actually quite pleasant.”

“There’s also the naked-eye 3D screen exclusive to Master Fang, I really want to see it in person, wuwuwu.”

“It’s already eight o’clock, can only stay home and watch.”

As everyone eagerly awaited the live broadcast, Bi Fang also came out of the hotel with Leonardo to make the final preparations.

Jinghong City, here lies the largest and most bustling city in all of Greater Xishuangbanna, hence most of the attractions are centered around this city.

This city is bisected by a river called the Lancang River, which, outside of Huaxia, is known as the Mekong River, thus Jinghong is divided into two parts, with the term “north of the river” referring to the area north of the Lancang River.

However, Jinghong City isn’t large; Bi Fang and Leonardo had traveled around in the past two days. The taxi fee starts at 7 yuan during the day and 8 yuan at night, and they couldn’t go beyond that basic fare.

However, the supporting facilities were quite impressive. In the city center, there was a free outdoor fountain park called Peacock Lake, with a KFC, a Dicos, and a cinema nearby—none were lacking.

In the car, Leonardo continued to check his pack, from insect repellent to a first aid kit, making sure nothing was missing.

Even in the scorching heat, he still wore boots. This was to avoid being bitten by venomous snakes in disguise to the greatest extent possible. In the rainforest, there were many poisonous creatures, and many snakes could easily kill a large elephant with their venom.

Even if rescue was provided immediately, there was still a certain chance of death.

But the more fully armed Leonardo was, the more he understood how dangerous Bi Fang’s choice to wear no clothing at all was.

Especially Zhou Weisheng, as the director of the reserve, he knew better than anyone how dangerous the depths of the rainforest could be, where even a small mosquito could potentially be deadly.

That’s why he was so surprised when he first made contact with Bi Fang.

The rainforest and the city were completely different environments.

Why do so many primitive tribes still exist in the Amazon rainforest?

Is it because they can’t access modern civilization?

Do they not yearn for a more comfortable and relaxed life?

Neither. The evolution of any species only has two purposes: to make life more comfortable and to reproduce offspring. Controlled by DNA, humans are no exception.

Whether it’s the Ewenki in the mountains or the Inuit people within the Arctic Circle, their unique civilizations have almost completely disappeared under the impact of modern civilization.

So far, globally, only the primitive tribes in the rainforests remain steadfast.

Are they unable to assimilate? Too barbaric to fit in with modern society? Too dangerous to be let into society?

None of these.

Every civilization has gradually evolved from barbarism; the primitive tribes in the rainforest are not incapable of assimilating, it’s just that the cost of assimilation is too high.

The fundamental reason is only one, it’s too dangerous.

Before the rainforest was massively destroyed, only a few adventurers and research teams could reach them. Without the impact of large-scale social forces, how could they possibly stride into modern society?

Even the indigenous people of the rainforest have lived within extremely limited areas for generations.

It’s difficult for outsiders to reach them, and it’s equally hard for them to come into contact with the outside world.

This phenomenon is unseen in both the Arctic and Antarctic.

“The entire Huaxia has only one factory that can produce antivenom, but the good news is that it’s located in Yunnan, so in case of an accident, the chances of being rescued are still pretty high.”

Leonardo tugged at the corner of his mouth, “That joke isn’t funny at all.”

Under Zhou Weisheng’s arrangement, the two of them took a small path to a little house in the scenic area, where there were no other people to ensure no fanatical fans would appear.

No one knew that the world’s number one adventurer and the international superstar were in this inconspicuous corner.

Bi Fang looked at the time, 8:45.

It was still fifteen minutes before the start, but he didn’t start the live stream early. If it were a normal day, a few minutes early or late wouldn’t matter, but for the opening day of the club, a sense of ceremony was still necessary.

Finally, after Leonardo finished a cup of coffee, the 59 changed to 00.

Bi Fang pressed the drone’s power button.

The live stream, had begun!
