BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36: Bi Fang’s Ambition
The edited video was nearly an hour long, retaining almost all of the exciting moments.
Especially the “Snatching Food from a Bear’s Mouth” segment, with the System’s BGM accompanying it, would get anyone’s blood pumping.
After watching it, Bi Fang nodded in satisfaction and uploaded the video to B Island, then shared the generated link in a chat group.
“The video edit is done, I’ve posted it on B Island. If you want to watch it, just search ‘Master Fang Wilderness’.”
The moment the message was sent, it caused a huge stir in the fan group chat. If Bi Fang hadn’t had good dynamic eyesight, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up with the constantly refreshing messages.
“Wow, captured Master Fang alive!”
“Master Fang actually joined the group?”
“Master Fang, please notice me and add me as a friend!
“Will the next livestream still be on Shark? When is it? ‘
The incessant message notifications made Bi Fang’s palms and scalp tingle, having no choice, he sent out a message to announce, “I’m sorry, but I won’t just add friends randomly. It really affects my normal life.”
At that moment, the group admin, Lord Mu, also sent a message, “Exactly, let’s not disturb Master Fang anymore, it’s clear this is his personal account, and him joining the fan group is already a big favor.”
Strikingly handsome to the point of alarming the Central Party: “Yes, yes, it’s better not to disturb him!”
Now that both the group owner and admins had spoken up, the others felt it wouldn’t be proper to keep asking Bi Fang to add them as friends.
Indeed, using a personal QQto join a fan group was already very sincere. Unlike other streamers, who are represented by studio accounts that appear active, but in reality, the streamers themselves don’t even know how many people are in their fan groups.
“As for the next livestream, it can almost certainly be confirmed that it will be on Shark again. The conditions have been settled; we’re just waiting for the contract signing. As for the next livestream, I will definitely notify you when the time comes,” Bi Fang said.
Upon hearing this news, the fans in the group cheered jubilantly.
Seeing his fans so happy made Bi Fang feel pleased as well, as his livestreaming was receiving recognition.
Everyone wants to engage in challenging endeavors, achieve excellent results, and outperform others.
Being able to stay on the Shark platform was also something Bi Fang was happy about. Currently, the situation on various livestreaming platforms was similar, amidst their competition, the offers they could provide were more or less the same. The main reason was that despite Bi Fang’s potential, he hadn’t cashed in on it yet, which left him lacking bargaining power.
So going to another livestreaming TV might not yield better treatment. Worse, he could run into a myriad of troubles that would disrupt his success, so it might be better to stay put, especially since he already had some momentum here.
After chatting with the fans for a while, Bi Fang selected two clips from the edited video, the encounters with the Short-tailed Viper and “Snatching Food from a Bear’s Mouth,” and posted them on some well-known short video platforms. He also shared them in the group chat, asking fans to help spread them around. This was to prevent any potential traffic requirements that the System might impose in future missions.
Completing the mission this time didn’t mean he wouldn’t have to worry the next time.
Popularity and traffic couldn’t solely rely on platform recommendations. Any work that aimed to go viral needed to break out of its circle; simply circulating within the livestreaming circle was not enough.
The most classic examples are Bear Grylls and Grandpa De from the past life, as well as Ray Mears. Many are familiar with the first two but not the latter.
In fact, Ray Mears is a well-known British outdoor survival expert and Bushcraft expert, affectionately called “Ray Fatty” by Chinese netizens.
Although his many television programs in cooperation with the BBC have become world-famous, his popularity in China isn’t very high.
The underlying reason for this is that his programs aren’t as thrilling as Bear Grylls’s, lacking the basis for breaking out of the circle.
That basis is to have content that everyone enjoys.
Wilderness survival is about being thrilling enough to attract viewers, which was exactly what Bi Fang’s recent livestream perfectly delivered.
In Ray Mears’s shows, he mainly maintained a calm demeanor, which, despite the relaxation, required immense expertise and experience, along with a rich theoretical foundation. But the result was that Ray Fatty could only be accepted by mainstream survival enthusiasts.
Bi Fang knew exactly what he wanted and what he needed to do.
Next, all he had to do was wait for the heat to ferment slowly.
Having done all this, Bi Fang opened the System again and found the item bar. He hadn’t forgotten that there was still an enhancement ticket left unused.
It wasn’t because he didn’t have time to use it, but because this ticket was too special.
Golden Trapezius Strengthening Ticket.
The trapezius muscle is located subcutaneously in the neck and back, triangular on one side, and together with the other, it forms a trapezoid shape. It connects the shoulder girdle to the base of the skull and the vertebrae, serving to suspend the shoulder girdle.
Moreover, this muscle significantly protects the neck. Many professional fighters specifically train this muscle because without it, any encounter with a chokehold or being slammed could easily break one’s neck.
If it’s a woman, having this muscle too strong is quite unsightly, creating a bulky and bearish appearance, a real killer of grace. But for a man, if this muscle is well-developed with the right proportions, it can make the shoulders look broader and more powerful, greatly helping with overall physique.
Captain America is a prime example.
Bi Fang hadn’t used it before out of concern that a noticeable change in his physique might be directly spotted by Officer Zhao, which is why he’d saved it until now.
But now, after Bi Fang used it, he immediately felt a tingling itch in his shoulders. This sensation lasted for about fifteen minutes before stopping.
He squeezed his shoulders and found that the muscle had become quite swollen but was soft to the touch, yet it became extremely hard when he flexed.
It was indeed the Golden Trapezius, and the proportion was perfect. Standing in front of the mirror and taking off his shirt, Bi Fang reflected inwardly. The trapezius muscles on both sides highlighted his figure well, making his shoulders look much broader but not exaggerated-just the type that looked good no matter how one viewed it.
Bi Fang turned his neck and discovered that both strength and flexibility were far greater than before.
This lottery draw was worth it!
Too bad he didn’t have enough Points for another ten consecutive draws.
Bi Fang looked at the remaining 410 Points with some regret, deciding to wait and see if the shop would refresh with something good before the next task. However, even with the System that could be called almighty, he couldn’t afford to be lazy and shirk hard work.
At present, his physical fitness was just on the level of an ordinary person. He still needed to train diligently and improve himself—that was the real deal.
Moreover, he now had the Skills of Calisthenics, Advanced Yoga, and Pilates, which were very comprehensive. Combined with a proper diet, perhaps he could improve his overall physical fitness even more before the next task!
Bi Fang, with a plan in mind, immediately changed his clothes and prepared to go out for a run.
Why did Bi Fang feel such regret when he first transmigrated?
Because he had patience, he was willing to learn and endure hardships, and he was serious about his work. Even without transmigrating, he was confident that he wouldn’t lose to most people.
In the evening, after a day full of exercises, Bi Fang finished dinner and then went to the pet store, bought a bunch of cat cans, and with them, headed to a coffee shop at the street corner.
“Oh, it’s you!”
In the shop, a short-haired girl saw Bi Fang and waved at him, looking very surprised. But then she shook her head with a hint of apology, “I’m sorry, but all the bread has been sold out today. I don’t have any extra for you.”
“I’m not here for the bread today,” replied Bi Fang with a smile, taking three cans of cat food out of the bag.
