“Beep, congratulations to Master for completing Sub Mission 1, rewards one skill point and one chance of a Grade D lucky draw. Do you want to collect your reward now?”
“Sub Mission 2 announcement. Master, please obtain 300 thousand worth of popularity. Rewards are 1 skill point and one chance of a Grade D lucky draw.”
“Collect.”
A big roulette appeared. The eight columns inside each had an item allocated within. B-Dog looked and checked. There was a suit of clothes, a hook, a black pot, a knife, a motorbike, a shovel, a hunting rifle, and a ski board.
The quality of the products by the System was guaranteed and this was proven from the Survival Big Pack. Anyhow, among these eight items, B-Dog had the ski board already. The motorbike was unable to be used, the hunting rifle was not possible to be shown in the broadcast room. Hence, he hoped to get the hook.
Anyway, there was no way for him to decide what kind of lucky draw he would get. All he could do was pray for a good item.
He spun the roulette and the virtual wheel turned and turned. After a while, it stopped on the suit of clothes. With doubt, he opened it and it turned out to be a snowy-white fur-hooded coat. It was waterproof, could keep one warm, and also light. He tried putting the coat on and its length reached until his feet. It was so long that it could be a blanket for a short person. It was a bit inconvenient while walking but he could not feel the coat’s weight.
It was unsure whether due to the mental effect or the true effect, he felt that his body was warmer. This look was too stylish and it gave a feeling of arrogance and wildness like the swordsman of Snow Fox, Hu YiDao. A content look appeared on his face. “The System is honest and did not cheat me.”
He added 1 skill point to skiing. Skiing was now LV4 and was already the standard of professional skier.
At 10 o’clock sharp, the black screen of broadcast room lighted up. An exciting music rang out of the speakers and earphones of the audiences. It was the classic song, “Conquest-Of-Paradise”. Instantly, the melody brought out the passions of the 280 thousand audiences in the broadcast room.
The view was a perfect beautiful snowy forest, quiet jungle, and the purest paradise in the world. It had been there all the while, accompanying the earth for million years.
The high-definition images were far more excellent than any of the local films. It seemed like one could simply print screen and use it as the high-definition wallpaper of the desktop. The audiences in the broadcast room seemed to be watching the big Hollywood films. Star Wars, Avatar, Jurassic Park were nothing special.

The camera narrowed from far to near. There was a person being shown at the snowfield. It was the “fully armed” man, Chen B-Dog.
1.84 meters tall and 1.86 meters with the shoes on; the long legs were in good shape and looking elegant; the fair skin and the sharp, tough face hiding in the hooded coat; the part in the shadow was giving off a mysterious feeling.
He had two ski boards and two ski poles beside him. The wild look with the hooded coat was too striking. On his lower part, he was wearing a pair of Dongbei styled cotton pants and a pair of black color snow boots. At his back, he was carrying a middle-sized white color backpack, on the side hung a camouflage bottle used by the army and on the other side was a small black pot. On both left and right of his waist were short knives. This was his overall attired.
He stood quietly at a side on the snowfield, slowly approaching the camera with smiling face.
Since he came out with such high profile method, he immediately received the “Bravo”s.
“I can’t express my respect to anchor without typing bravo.”
“It is crazily awesome, superb, amazing.”
On the main board, a few tycoons and the regular followers who often watched the broadcast but seldom sent the gifts, also could not help themselves and sent the gifts. With the help of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall wave, his popularity broke through 300 thousand within few minutes. It helped B-Dog to accomplish Sub Mission 2 but he did not bother about it anymore.
B-Dog lifted the hat, to show his semi long hair, sharp chin, and handsome face. He looked tough but did not seem to lose his easygoing character.
“Hello, my fellow friends. My name is Chen B-Dog, English name “Two Dogs” I would like to greet you a Happy New Year in advance.”
B-Dog faced the camera and saluted with both hands folded.
“Bravo, charming handsome man!”, “Swordsman, where did you get your clothes? Is Taobao selling it?”, “Brilliant, Lord B-Dog has an English name too!”, “Mr Police, someone is pretending to act cool over here, please catch him.”
“Freelance Cowboy treats anchor Chen B-Dog to a Buddha Jump Over the Wall, everyone quickly grab the treasure box!”
“Chen C-Dog treats anchor Chen B-Dog to a Buddha Jump Over the Wall, everyone quickly grab the treasure box!”
…
B-Dog smiled and said, “Starting today, I am going to broadcast my self-created show “The Wild God of Gourmet”! In the show, I will be demonstrating how to live and nurture oneself at the most extreme and dangerous places on the earth. We want to face the places which have never been visited, uncover the mysteries of nature, seek for the most primitive, most environment friendly gourmets. At the same time, I will introduce to the audiences how to survive if get lost in those places. Without the appropriate surviving skill, you can’t even sustain for a day.”

“Exactly like what you see, I am now at the biggest nature reserve park in the region of northeast of China, the border of DXAL. Here, it is miles away from people, far apart from civilization, without any industry waste and gas emissions of vehicles. I reached here yesterday. Luckily I was able to view this heavy snow. A quiet environment, gives me a dangerous feeling. Additionally, the temperature in the jungle at this moment is about negative 10 to 20 degree Celsius.”
When he spoke, the vapor from his breath had frozen at the collar. It was cold everywhere, but his passion never lessen.
The audiences in broadcast room were increasing. The popularity figure was changing every second, basically no one went out once they came in. The popularity reached 300 thousand, 400 thousand in a very short period. The pop-up comments and the frequency of the gifts and Bamboo were too rapid, there were people started to complain about the lag.
Fan FanFan saw this situation and made the decision, “Open the backup server.”
Xiao Lu happily said, “FanFan, how many sets of servers should I add?”
“Open all five of them and add a notice in the broadcast room, if the audiences feel it is laggy, they can click the button on the right hand side of the screen and get into the backup route.”
“Okay, I will do it right away!”
In the broadcast room, B-Dog was introducing his only equipment to the audience. “I am carrying a backpack. There is a sleeping bag, stainless steel thermal bottle, a black pot, a watch, a ski board and two hunting knifes named “Hunter’s Machete”, a flint and a bottle of salt. There is nothing else.”
He took the two arm-length hunting knives out from the knife case and played around with it for a while before putting them back. In an instant, he showed a set of knife skills which the audiences did not see clearly but they remembered the style and name of this hunting knife.
“What I am going to do now is to conquer the primitive jungle. I will teach you guys how to survive in the snowy wild land and demonstrate how strong willpower is under pressure and the unlimited pursuit of freedom.”
“No time for explanations. Skillful expert is on the track, let’s put your safety belts on. Start the car and let’s talk while driving. I am too impatient to wait anymore.”
He wore back his hooded coat while talking, getting the ski board ready and moved his ski pole before entering the primitive jungle. He was moving agilely. With the skiing speed getting faster, one can feel his steadiness and agility. The coat was lifted highly under the wild wind. Under the high speed filming, his shadow shuttled among the big trees. it was exactly the same as the special shooting of jungle warfare in Hollywood.
The broadcast room was totally chaotic. “You say it is a hunting knife but it looks like the broad blade of a hunter. The style is exactly the same.”, “I just want to ask, where did you buy the hunting knife, can it be composed to a red color hunting knife, does it come with a skill?”, “Mighty Lord B-Dog, the fur coat you are wearing makes me feel like meeting with the legend, Qiao Feng.”, “I am following, and this is the quickest I follow somebody.” , “It is looking fantastic, I have enough days of breathing in hazy air, I feel like going.”
The broadcast picture was of high-definition quality. The upright viewing experience and watching the high speed through in the jungle allowed the audience to feel like they were experiencing it in real life. The popularity kept on increasing, naturally, the quality was not the same. There were many people making fun of him and some people were cursing him that he could not last for a night before he got caught by a wolf.
“The loneliness in the wild is the hardest part. Has the anchor prepared the necessary survival item– soap? The soap can kill bacteria, expel the insects, and disinfect the wounds. Most importantly, it helps to solve the indescribable loneliness.”
