Looking at the comments from the viewers, Chen Yang smiled and decided not to continue the topic. Instead, his thoughts shifted to a more pressing concern—how he was going to transport such a massive piece of timber back to the village.
This Water Ash tree was at least several tons in weight.
Though he had drunk Aura-infused Water recently, improving his physical strength, he wasn't quite at the level where he could carry such heavy logs on his own.
In the end, he decided to cut off a section and take it back first.
He had brought along a machete, not a saw, so cutting through it took some effort. After a few minutes of chopping, he was already drenched in sweat.
Chen Yang stripped off his outer shirt, revealing his upper body. This action instantly set the livestream chat ablaze.
"Holy crap, Master Chen's physique is absolutely explosive!"
"Ah, I'm drooling! What do I do, what do I do?!"
"Already screenshotting this!"
"I'm printing this and hanging it on my wall so I can see Master Chen every morning when I wake up!"
"Master Chen's muscles are unreal! I've been working out for three years, but I don't have results like that."
"Those eight-pack abs, biceps…"
"I've made my decision—if I can't marry Master Chen, I'll stay single forever!"
"My man chops wood like that, damn (drooling face)."
The Water Ash had a chest diameter close to two meters, and for an ordinary person to chop through it with just a machete would take all day, if not more. But after just ten minutes of effort, Chen Yang had already chopped halfway through.
Moreover, he noticed that his strength was far greater than before.
His arms hadn't stopped swinging yet, but they didn't feel sore at all.
"Looks like I'm being absolutely crushed by Master Chen on every level—looks, physique, strength, intelligence! I can't take it anymore!"
"Damn it! There's only one word that can express what I'm feeling right now."
"I'm done, I can't watch this anymore. This god-tier streamer is making me feel inferior."
After another ten minutes, Chen Yang finally managed to chop the piece of Water Ash down.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he picked up the piece of timber and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only about one meter long—this chunk weighs over a hundred pounds."
"You've got some serious strength!"
"No joke, if I fought Master Chen, one punch from him and I'd be dead!"
The viewers couldn't help but admire Chen Yang's strength. His muscles were truly impressive.
"Big Black, Little White, let's go. We're heading home," Chen Yang said, in high spirits, humming a tune as he began his descent down the mountain.
After walking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped, put down the wood, and walked over to a patch of weeds. There was a tone of surprise in his voice.
"Orchid!"
"Hey, everyone, look! There's an orchid here."
He gently touched the orchid, feeling truly taken aback by the discovery.
"Pfft, what's so special about an orchid? It just looks like another weed to me."
"Wait, Master Chen likes to grow flowers? Wake up, you're a big man! Men are supposed to play with mud!"
"Pfft~ Looks like the 'play with mud' joke is really going out of style."
"My mom loves to grow flowers too. The balcony's filled with plants and flowers. They look good, but they always attract bugs."
Chen Yang thought to himself, This isn't just any ordinary orchid, though.
He hesitated for a moment.
With the livestream over the past few days—wild ginseng, He Shou Wu, Water Ash—if he told them this orchid was something special, he wasn't sure how they'd react.
In the end, he decided to keep quiet about it.
"I do love flowers and plants. The backyard of my house was just cleared, so I'm planning to transplant this orchid there."
Without hesitation, he began digging up the orchid. He didn't pull it out by the roots but carefully dug around its root system, ensuring the dirt around the roots stayed intact.
He then wrapped the soil in his shirt to protect the delicate plant.
As soon as he did that, [Jia Tianxia] commented:
"Master Chen, this orchid looks a bit unusual. Could you point the camera at it again so I can take another look?"
"It's just an orchid, what's the difference?"
"Orchids all look the same, don't they?"
[Jia Tianxia]: "If you like it, Master Chen, my mom grows orchids too. I could sell you one, price is negotiable (laughing face)."
Chen Yang was about to just gloss over it—after all, most people wouldn't be able to recognize the orchid species just by looking at it. But it turned out that [Jia Tianxia] was a flower enthusiast.
Reluctantly, Chen Yang aimed the camera at the orchid.
A few seconds later...
[Jia Tianxia]: "Master Chen, would you be willing to sell me this orchid? Name your price, I'll pay whatever you ask!"
Through the screen, the viewers could feel the excitement in[Jia Tianxia]'s words.
"Wait, could this orchid be something different?"
"Damn, I almost got fooled by Master Chen!"
"I was about to be tricked, honestly thought this was just a regular orchid."
"Master Chen's eyes are too sharp. Ordinary things can't catch his attention. This orchid must be extraordinary."
"Master Chen, hurry up and tell us—what kind of orchid is this?"
Faced with the barrage of questions, Chen Yang couldn't hold out any longer.
He sighed and said, "Alright, alright. Don't say I didn't warn you…"
"This orchid is called Grand Hall Phoenix Feather, a fairly rare and expensive variety of orchid."
The viewers immediately flooded him with questions.
"How expensive is 'fairly rare'?"
"Don't beat around the bush, Master Chen, give us the straight answer!"
"Ahhh! Master Chen, why are you torturing us? Someone who knows, please explain!"
[Jia Tianxia]: "I had a feeling it was Grand Hall Phoenix Feather. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Boss, just tell us the price. Don't leave us hanging!"
"Forget about me, I can handle it, just tell us already!"
Chen Yang remained silent for a moment. The more he held out, the more curious everyone became.
[Jia Tianxia]: "Let me put it this way: In 2001, a mountain villager from the Lanchang River picked a Grand Hall Phoenix Feather and sold it for 3 million."
The viewers went silent.
"......"
"......"
"......"
[Jia Tianxia]: "But keep in mind, the price of every orchid varies. Even the same species can differ based on factors like the petals, fragrance, color, and rarity."
Finally, Chen Yang spoke up: "Indeed, the price of orchids depends on several factors—petals, fragrance, color, and rarity."
[Jia Tianxia]: "That's right. And this one is a young seedling. Even though it's top quality, it would only be worth around 30 to 50 thousand, not too expensive."
"30 to 50 thousand? Not too expensive?"
"I was wrong. My mental fortitude isn't as strong as I thought."
"Next time, I won't ask about prices anymore."
"This isn't Master Chen's leisurely livestream; it's Master Chen's livestream on how to get rich!"
