"Holy crap, Master Chen is so handsome!"
"Haha, this is the first time I've seen Master Chen like this, it's so satisfying!"
"I always thought Master Chen was a refined and gentle person, but now I see he might have a sharp tongue!"
"Chen's sarcasm level just went up!"
"Ban them! Mute them! Don't let anyone stay!"
With a quick operation from the moderators, the livestream chat returned to its peaceful, harmonious atmosphere.
Meanwhile, at Tiger Shark Company:
Yang Hai had been keeping a close eye on Chen Yang.
The people who had been stirring trouble in the chat were hired by him.
After Chen Yang rejected his offer, he had been waiting.
Waiting for Chen Yang to call him.
But instead of the call, what he got was news of Chen Yang signing with Feiyu Platform.
And it was an S-level contract!
This... this was something he couldn't understand.
Had the Feiyu Platform gone mad?
Why would they sign an S-level contract with a rookie?
What was so special about Chen Yang that he deserved such a contract?
So, he sent out more hired troublemakers to create chaos.
This had always been his go-to strategy, and it usually worked.
However, this time, it didn't work with Chen Yang.
The fanbase Chen Yang had built was terrifyingly loyal.
They were all defending Chen Yang and even berating the troublemakers.
The fanbase was formidable.
He ground his teeth, decided to give up.
After all, livestreaming mountain life was just a gimmick. It wouldn't go anywhere.
He didn't believe Chen Yang could keep finding wild ginseng every day.
He'd wait for his downfall.
"11 million viewers online."
Chen Yang glanced at the number of viewers.
This was early in the morning, just past 9 AM.
Yesterday, at this time, the number was just over 10,000.
It seemed the platform's recommendations were effective.
"We've arrived."
Chen Yang had reached the location, walked up to a water locust tree, and started talking.
"I plan to tie the rope to one end of this water locust and drag it back home."
"Master Chen, you're crazy!"
"Drag it back… Do you know what you're saying?"
"The bet is on! Let's bet now!"
"I bet 100 fish balls that Master Chen will mess up today."
"I'll bet one rocket, and if I win, Master Chen has to dance!"
"I'll bet one rocket too, but if I win, I want Master Chen to take his shirt off!"
"I want to see him take his shirt off!"
"I want him to take his shirt off!"
"I'm single and never even held a girl's hand. Watching Master Chen's livestream is too much for me!"
Chen Yang had originally planned to take his shirt off, since it would get hot while working.
But when he saw the comments from the female viewers, he hesitated.
But in the end, he went ahead and took it off.
Otherwise, it would be hard to move around during work.
"Alright, the knot's tied. You see, all we need to do is tie a slip knot at the tree's top."
"This rope is very sturdy, and I'm using the right technique, so don't worry about it snapping."
"Before we start, I need to warm up to get my body fully ready, or I might strain something."
Chen Yang began stretching his neck, swinging his arms in a rhythmic movement.
With every move, his muscles flexed in time with his motions.
The female viewers watching were drooling.
Some even took screenshots of the scene.
"The view is so beautiful."
"Green mountains, clear waters, Master Chen... Wow, this is exactly what I'm looking for."
Chu Chu was also staring at the screen, her eyes glued to it.
"Hey, Chu Chu, what are you looking at?"
"I heard you signed an S-level streamer, is that true?"
"I saw the platform's recommendation, is it the one streaming mountain life?"
A few female colleagues came over to ask.
Chu Chu quickly wiped away the drool.
"Ah, what are you looking at? Are you watching some food livestream? It's making you drool."
"Food livestreams are getting that good now? They can make you salivate?"
"No, no, it's Master Chen. Oh, the S-level streamer I just signed."
"Livestreaming mountain life, what's the point of that?"
The girls weren't really able to understand.
But when they saw Chen Yang moving his body, none of them could look away.
"Such a good body!"
"Handsome!"
"My goodness, this streamer has such a great body!"
"He's exactly my type."
"It's such a pity, such a handsome, well-built streamer, and he's doing a livestream about mountain life."
Chu Chu said, "Hmph, don't underestimate Master Chen. He's really powerful. He only livestreamed for a few days and got the highest online viewers of over 400,000 without any platform recommendations."
"Are you serious? That's so amazing?"
The girls were stunned.
Chu Chu proudly said, "Of course. And there's more! A few days ago, Master Chen found a wild ginseng and sold it for 2.5 million!"
"WHAT?!"
"Such a huge sum!"
"Wow, you can make that much money in the mountains?"
"Chu Chu, you're going to hit it big! No matter what, you're treating us tonight!"
The girls teased.
Back to Chen Yang:
His body was fully warmed up.
He grabbed the rope, tested it, and found it quite heavy.
This was a massive tree, weighing over a ton.
Even with seven or eight strong men, dragging it back to the village would be a tough task.
"Little White, Big Black, clear the way."
Chen Yang ordered.
Little White and Big Black cleared a path.
Chen Yang tied his shirt around his waist, the rope slung over his shoulder, tightening.
"Lift!"
He shouted, and immediately felt the water locust tree start to budge.
Though it only moved a tiny bit, it was indeed moving.
The viewers in the chat went silent.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
"The sound of it rubbing against the dirt and leaves."
At first, Chen Yang moved slowly, but as he kept going, the speed picked up.
Soon, he was moving it at almost the same pace as his regular walking speed.
But Chen Yang could feel his energy draining quickly.
He had to speed up.
Otherwise, at this rate, he would only be able to drag it a few hundred meters before he'd run out of strength.
"Ha!"
He shouted, and with all his might, he started to jog with the tree.
It wasn't until he'd dragged the water locust tree a good distance that the viewers finally reacted.
They stared at this scene of him—muscles flexing, pulling the massive tree like a wild man—an image of raw, violent beauty.
Finally, they couldn't hold back.
All the comments merged into two words:
"HOLY CRAP!"
