LBWC Chapter 0005: Not Letting Even Bugs Go

"Wow! What is that thing? It's so scary!"

"Streamer, quickly get rid of it!"

"It's long and looks like a centipede!"

"It must be poisonous! Streamer, be careful!"

"The key is that the streamer's equipment has such high clarity that I can see each leg of the bug. I've counted up to the 32nd!"  

"Wow, upstairs, are you kidding me? I have trypophobia, stop it!"  

"33, hehe!"  

"I'll pitch in too, 34!"  

"35!"  

"I'll join, 666!"  

...  

Watching the barrage of comments, Chen Xu almost burst out laughing. He then picked up the bug and held it in his hand, causing the bug to curl up immediately. Then, he explained, "This is called a millipede, also known as a millepede. Although it looks similar to a centipede, it's not. It's not highly venomous, but you should still watch out for each segment of its body to see if it has four legs, like the Madagascar ruby millipede, which can spray a blinding liquid. This one seems pretty harmless, though, and despite its appearance, it's high in protein and low in fat."  

"Dazed! What does the streamer mean?"  

"No way! Is the streamer going to eat it?"  

"That's disgusting! Can you really eat it?"  

"I doubt it. Just looking at it is scary enough!"  

"Streamer, if you dare to eat bugs, then I dare to eat shit!"  

The next moment, Chen Xu smiled at the camera and directly put the millipede into his mouth, chewing on it!  

"Mmm, there's no strange taste. It's not as bad as you imagine. In wilderness survival, the key is to expend the least energy to find food, and this kind of millipede is undoubtedly one of the better choices for energy replenishment!"  

The barrage in the livestream room exploded completely!  

"Wow, am I seeing this right? Did he really eat it?"  

"Awesome streamer! I don't believe in anyone but you!"  

"So daring, really eating it!"  

"The streamer is amazing, not even sparing bugs!"  

"I just want to say, the one who said they'd eat shit earlier? I want to see it!"  

"Liu Nian Fushengruomeng gifted the streamer 5 grilled fish! - Streamer is really brave!"  

"Kongxin Yin 787 gifted the streamer 10 rice balls! - Streamer, congratulations, you've successfully grossed me out!"  

"In Clouds gifted the streamer a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! - Streamer is awesome, swallowing bugs, so cool!"  

With a bang, a golden-bordered red banner floated across all the livestream rooms on Panda TV, with the words: "In Clouds gifted the streamer Chen Xu a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, everyone come and claim the treasure chest!"  

The barrage in the livestream room immediately started scrolling:  

"My god, such a big spender, one thousand bucks, just giving it away!"  

"666, big spender, please let me cling to your thigh!"  

"Alright, the streamer really made it worth eating the bug!"  

"Streamer, you better thank the big spender quickly!"  

Chen Xu was stunned when he saw the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. He didn't expect someone to actually send him a thousand-dollar gift. Normally, a thousand bucks might not make him very happy, but right now, receiving such a valuable gift from the viewers was also a recognition of his livestream, so he was still very happy. "Thank you, In Clouds, for the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I'm really grateful!"  

The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was the most expensive gift on Panda TV, worth a thousand bucks. And whenever a viewer gifted a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to a streamer, it would be announced in the form of a red banner barrage ad across all the livestream rooms on the entire platform, and a treasure chest would appear in the streamer's room.

All viewers could enter his livestream room and snatch the treasure chest by clicking on the advertisement. Inside the treasure chest, there were plenty of gifts, but it required a short wait before they could claim them. Meanwhile, the streamer could take this opportunity to showcase and retain these viewers, converting them into his own popularity.

Sure enough, after In Clouds gifted the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, within a few tens of seconds, hundreds to thousands of people flooded into Chen Xu's livestream room. In the blink of an eye, the number of people in his livestream room quickly rose to over two thousand.

Although most of these people were there to wait for the treasure chest, he had absolute confidence. With the novel wilderness survival livestreaming method, once this group of people came, they would definitely not leave!

Chen Xu took advantage of this opportunity, cleared his throat, and spoke into the camera of the drone, "Hello, everyone, new viewers. My name is Chen Xu, and I am currently doing outdoor wilderness livestreaming for you. I used to be a professional outdoor adventure enthusiast. I have climbed Mount Everest and crossed the Sahara Desert."

"This time, my challenge is to enter the DXAL primeval forest in Northeast China alone, deep into the heart of the primitive forest, with only a backpack and a bundle of rope, to show you how to survive!"

"Just now, I just finished building my shelter and had a little 'snack'. And now, the sun is setting, it's getting colder, I need to quickly start a fire!"

The new viewers immediately cheered up upon hearing this:

"This streamer is quite good at bragging, huh?"

"Yeah, crossed the Sahara Desert? It's over ten million square kilometers, can you really make it through?"

"Yes, I've been following the streamer. It's really in a primitive forest, eating wild grasses and swallowing bugs. So impressive!"

"Yeah, this streamer definitely isn't bragging. He built a shelter from scratch without using any tools!"

"Really? Is it true?"

"It seems true. There really is a shelter behind the streamer!"

"The forest is getting darker and darker. Didn't the streamer say he's going to start a fire?"

"How is he going to start a fire? The streamer didn't even bring a lighter!"

Fortunately, the initial group of over a hundred viewers had spoken highly of Chen Xu, and the mocking tone in the livestream room gradually turned into support. Especially with this novel livestreaming method and the super-clear camera quality produced by the system, the audience felt extremely stimulated!

Seeing the questions raised by the audience in the livestream room, Chen Xu explained, "Actually, there are many ways to start a fire in the wilderness. This time, I'm going to show you an ancient Chinese method of starting a fire: fire drilling!"

"The premise of fire drilling is that the wood used and the environment must be dry!"

As he spoke, Chen Xu found a dry piece of wood and picked up a tree branch as a "drill bit". "Before fire drilling, we can dig a hole in the dry wood like this, so that it will save a lot of effort when rotating the tree branch."

"In fact, a knife would be very useful in the wild, but I didn't bring one this time. But don't worry, we can make one temporarily!"

"Do you see these stones? I can use them to make a stone knife. The specific method is to hold a large stone in the left hand as a hammer, hold a smaller stone in the right hand, and then smash it like this."

Chen Xu picked up a large stone with one hand, and with a "bang bang" sound, he smashed the smaller stone in his hand. With the third strike, one side of the small stone shattered, revealing a sharp cutting edge!
