The viewers could all hear the sound of wind whooshing through the air as Chen Yang sprinted down the mountain. Occasionally, a wolf's howl or other eerie noises echoed through the live stream.
The audience was on edge, nervously watching the livestream unfold.
The difference between the mountains during the day and at night was like night and day.
Especially after hearing the wolf's howl, many began to worry—what if a wolf suddenly appeared out of nowhere and dragged Chen Yang away?
Minutes later, Chen Yang slowed his pace and announced, "I'm almost at the bottom of the mountain."
He walked a little more, and after a few minutes, he finally emerged from the forest.
"This will be the end of today's stream. I need to log off now. Everyone, make sure to eat and rest early. We'll meet again tomorrow," he said before abruptly cutting the livestream.
The comments flooded in almost immediately.
"Ah, another boring day..."
"My mom asked me what's wrong, and I told her I've had my heart broken. She asked when I was in a relationship... Sigh, my mother doesn't even care about me anymore."
"Bro, let's talk about it—pull out your knife!"
"Chen Yang is mine! Tomorrow, I'll send my dad to propose!"
"He's handsome, talented, full of knowledge, and rich. It's over—now that I've seen Chen Yang, my standards are too high."
"Wake up, Chen Yang's offline already!"
Back in the village, every household had their lights on, but it was already 6:30 p.m. People had finished dinner and were either watching TV at home or heading out to the village's small shops to play cards or chat.
Chen Yang arrived home, flicked on the light, and set Xiao Bai down. Xiao Bai, who hadn't eaten much, flopped down by Chen Yang's feet, looking a bit listless.
Big Black, on the other hand, was fixated on the table where some sausages lay.
Chen Yang grabbed a few sausages and gave them to his two dogs. Xiao Bai devoured two in a row and immediately perked up.
Once the dogs were taken care of, Chen Yang turned his attention to the wild ginseng.
Typically, wild ginseng was wrapped in soft silk and placed in a wooden box for storage, but since he didn't have that on hand, Chen Yang simply wrapped the ginseng in a clean bed sheet and stored it in his cupboard.
Of course, he wasn't just going to ship it out like this. It was worth millions, after all.
Now that everything was in order, he realized he hadn't eaten yet, either.
After a half-hour dinner break, Chen Yang sat down on the sofa. He glanced at his reputation points, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Wait… 500,000 reputation points?!"
He stared at the screen, amazed. "Did I really earn this much from just one afternoon's stream?"
Then he remembered that his peak concurrent viewers had been close to 400,000. In that light, 500,000 reputation points wasn't too surprising.
He rubbed his hands together and said, "Time for a lucky draw!"
"Congratulations, host, you've won [Spiritual Earth]."
"Congratulations, host, you've won [Master Carpenter]."
"Congratulations, host, you've won [Woven Hat]."
"Congratulations, host, you've won [Woven Hat]."
"Congratulations, host, you've won [Woven Hat]."
Chen Yang blinked a few times, looking at the multiple hats he'd won. "Wait, did I just get three woven hats?"
At first, he was excited when he saw the Spiritual Earth and Master Carpenter rewards, but then, his enthusiasm quickly waned as he saw the repeated hats.
"Are you kidding me, system? What is this?" Chen Yang muttered, pulling up the description of the woven hat.
[Woven Hat]: Wearing this will protect you from UV rays. It's a must-have for going outdoors or staying at home. People who have used it highly recommend it!
Chen Yang: "..."
He could only facepalm. What was he supposed to say to that? "666" seemed like the only fitting response.
As he thought about it, though, the weather was getting hotter, and he would need a hat when going out. He figured three hats wasn't that big of a deal.
He examined them more closely. The hats were actually well-made. Even if he were to weave one himself, it might not come out as neat as this.
Chen Yang put the hats aside and checked out the other two rewards.
[Spiritual Earth]: A special type of soil infused with spiritual energy. Even dried-out seeds can grow into the most abundant crops.
[Master Carpenter]: After learning, you will become a true master carpenter, able to craft all types of furniture with ease.
"Master Carpenter? That's not bad." Chen Yang smiled. "I've been thinking about renovating the old house for a while now. With the money, I can finally do it. I'll take the chance to fix it up soon."
A few days ago, when he returned to the village, he had considered this but didn't have the funds to carry it out. Now that he had the money and the skill, it seemed like the perfect opportunity.
As for the Spiritual Earth, that was also amazing.
It was similar to the Spiritual Water he had consumed earlier, which enhanced his physical abilities. Spiritual Earth, on the other hand, could grow extraordinary crops. The only downside was that the amount was limited—only ten kilograms. That wasn't much. He could maybe grow a few flowers, but it would be hard to grow anything significant with just ten kilograms.
Still, it was better than nothing.
"Xiao Bai, you're sleeping here tonight, alright? Don't wander off," Chen Yang said, pointing to the sofa where he'd made a little bed for the dog using some old clothes.
Xiao Bai responded by nodding its head and letting out a soft, reassuring bark.
Chen Yang patted its head. "Good boy. Grow up soon, and then we'll go catch some rabbits on the mountain."
"Big Black, you find your own spot to sleep. I'm going to wash up," Chen Yang said before heading off.
At Flying Fish Platform's office, the lights were still on, but most computers had been turned off. The only one still active was Chu Chu's.
The night outside had already fallen, and everyone else had left for the day, but Chu Chu was still glued to her desk, her eyes fixated on Chen Yang's livestream.
She had tuned in earlier in the afternoon, and now, hours had passed without her noticing. When Chen Yang finally logged off, she was jolted awake.
"Aahhh, it's already six o'clock!" she exclaimed, grabbing her phone.
"I didn't even realize how much time had passed!"
"But… Chen Yang's stream was so fascinating!"
"It's going to blow up! It's really going to blow up!"
Chu Chu's face flushed with excitement. She had seen many livestreams, but none that kept her so hooked for so long.
Chen Yang's unique charm, integrity, and down-to-earth personality had her convinced: this was just the beginning for him. He was destined to go big.
