"I... Damn, it’s actually smoking!"
"Unbelievably strong! Brother Hao can actually make fire by friction!"
"6666666666666, I bet Zhao Jun’s face is absolutely priceless right now!"
"Twenty years of being single does give you unmatched hand speed!"
The audience in the live stream yelled, and the popularity began to skyrocket!
From over six thousand people, it quickly reached seven thousand five hundred!
"Everyone, look," Wang Hao continued to drill as he explained to the audience, "It won’t take many tries before the small hole in the board starts smoking. The smoke will gradually get bigger. Keep going, and when the friction generates enough heat, the finely ground powder will catch fire, and that’s pretty much success."
He said this, picking up the small bird’s nest-like tinder beneath the board, "Carefully pick up the tinder, gently blow into it, and then you’ll see the glowing embers. The smoke will get thicker, indicating that flames are about to burst forth. Place the tinder on the ground, add more wood, and we will have a roaring fire."
He spoke while gently blowing air, and sure enough, after a short while, a small flame slowly started to burn.
The flame was not big at first, only the size of a lighter’s flame.
But quickly, after a breeze, the flame suddenly started to burn intensely!
"Now we have a fire that can be used for warmth and cooking," Wang Hao made an OK gesture toward the camera phone, smiled and said, "Dear audience, if you like it, please double-click 6666!"
"He can actually make fire by friction!"
Seeing Wang Hao actually succeed in making fire by friction, Zhao Jun’s face started to change.
After all, he claimed to be an expert in outdoor survival, but he could only rely on a lighter to start a fire, whereas the other party used friction. The difference in skill was too obvious.
"Brother Hao is awesome!" Mi Xiu gave Wang Hao a thumbs up and smiled, "Way better than some people!"
"It’s just making fire by friction," Zhao Jun sneered disdainfully, "I just can’t be bothered to do it that way. Forget it, I won’t chat anymore, I’m off to fish!" He said, patting his hands, standing up, and taking out four fishing rods from his bag, then suddenly smiled at Wang Hao, "By the way, did you guys bring any fishing rods?"
"You really are well-prepared," Wang Hao looked at him and laughed, "You have everything, even fishing rods."
"Of course," Zhao Jun nodded naturally, put on his sun hat and sunglasses, and said, "How can you be unprepared for outdoor survival. You keep tending your fire, I’m going to fish. Oh, and if you guys can’t find any food later, I might consider sharing a couple of fish with you after I catch them."
The lake in front of them rippled with crystal-clear waters, occasionally showing fish swimming around. Zhao Jun baited his hook and cast it powerfully, causing ripples on the surface of the lake.
"Here in Heavenly People’s Republic," Zhao Jun set up his fishing rod and began to explain to the live stream audience, "due to our country’s vast territory and diverse geographical and natural environments, different regions boast a rich variety of fish species, each with its own characteristics. Generally speaking, in the south, common fish include Bighead carp, Asian carp, Chinese shad, East Slope Fish, Glowbelly, and Longbelly glider, mainly warm-loving fish species..."
As he fished, he started explaining to the audience, but unexpectedly, at that moment, suddenly, a figure burst into his live stream screen!
Wang Hao had rolled up his pant legs and was walking in the lake with a sharpened stick in his hand, looking for fish!
Mi Xiu was on the shore, live streaming him with her phone!
"Generally speaking," Wang Hao began as he waded through the water, "there are many lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the lower Yellow River, and the lower Liao River, which are the main production areas for freshwater fish in the Heavenly People’s Republic. You find fish like green fish, grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, common carp, and crucian carp in abundance. So today, since we are live streaming wilderness survival, I’ll show you how to spear fish with this stick in my hand!"
Spear fish with a stick!
Good Lord, is this for real?!
Zhao Jun’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets! Was this guy Wang Hao kidding earlier?!
"Spear fish?" Zhao Jun shook his head. "That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Trying to spear fish in this lake without several years of hard training is simply impossible!"
"First of all, everyone must be aware," Wang Hao said, holding up the wooden stick, with a wreath still on his head, looking like a wild man out of ancient times, yet his speech was quite professional, "generally speaking, sunlight refracts when hitting the water surface. So if you’ve spotted a fish and want to skewer it, you must aim slightly higher, just —let’s go!"
There was a splash of water, and then... everyone was stunned!
The stick in Wang Hao’s hand was as precise as a harpoon,—when it reemerged from water, there was a big fish weighing two to three pounds skewered on it!
The fish skewered on the stick was thrashing desperately!
"6666666666666666666 Brother Hao actually managed to spear a fish!"
"Dominating! Makes someone else with a fishing rod look like a novice!"
"Awesome, Brother Hao, I love you!"
"Ladies and gentlemen," Wang Hao said, holding up the fish, smiling as he explained to everyone, "this is a silver carp, also commonly called flower silver carp or bighead. These fish have very large heads, almost a quarter of their overall body length. Generally, the tastiest part of this fish is the head, if you like you can try it."
If previously everyone thought Wang Hao starting a fire with friction was just a gimmick, seeing him now effortlessly spear a fish with a stick was enough to blow everyone’s mind!
Especially since Wang Hao just so happened to be standing in the camera frame of Zhao Jun’s live stream!
As soon as his fish spearing skill was revealed, the viewers in Zhao Jun’s live stream instantly rebelled!
"Holy smokes, this guy is awesome! Spear a fish! He’s so accurate! Which live stream is he from?"
"Seems like he’s from Mi Xiu’s live stream, right? Let’s go there and check it out!"
"I feel guy is even cooler now, hurry, let’s go see!"
Viewers in a live stream aren’t fiercely loyal to one host, especially now that Wang Hao’s skill was clearly superior to Zhao Jun’s, and they quickly began to collectively switch sides!
The number of viewers in Mi Xiu’s live stream, which previously was just over seven thousand five hundred, skyrocketed by more than two thousand in just two minutes, and the number was still increasing rapidly!
Seeing his live stream’s popularity plummet, Zhao Jun couldn’t sit still anymore!
He had to think of a solution, or else he’d just end up benefiting others!
He threw down his fishing rod and shouted, "Wang Hao, right? You deliberately sabotaged me today. I challenge you! Now, immediately, right this instant!"
