That night, Ning Fei officially signed a contract with Battling Birds Webcast Platform.


As a new webcaster who had obtained Grade A, Ning Fei had gotten the attention of many.


“What? He became Grade A in three days?”


Some less popular webcasters who had gotten wind of the news went to visit Ning Fei’s webcast room. They wanted to see who he was to have received such prestigious treatment and rank.


At night, Ning Fei sat in his courtyard as he tried and tested all the expedition equipment. There wasn’t anything special.


‘What? Grade A?’


‘He must have some sort of deal with the management!’


‘He used his looks to get that Grade A, isn’t it?’


‘Fiddling with some lame equipment. What’s there to see?’


‘I thought it was something special!’


The webcasters were really jealous.


Some of them had been doing livestreams for a year and were still at Grade D. Ning Fei had merely started three days ago.


But there were more cheers than jeers.


‘Congratulations, Host, for joining Battling Birds! May you prosper!’


‘Webcaster, be better and become the best!’


‘Congratulations, Host, for getting that contract!’


‘The Battling Birds family welcomes you!’


There was a huge difference between the webcasters who had signed a contract and those who hadn’t. Thus, after the viewers found out that Ning Fei had signed one, they sent him their blessings.


…Along with a rush of rewards.


The most generous was still Master Jiang, who gave 10 super rockets.


Jiang Feng had become Ning Fei’s number one supporter in his webcast room.


‘Boss is indeed generous!’


‘Boss is the best!’


After Jiang Feng sent the rockets, many chimed in to pander to him.


Along with the extraordinary number of rockets, Ning Fei’s webcast room increased in viewers substantially.


And in no time, he reached one million viewers. Many of the viewers had joined the webcast because of the crowd and the hype. In reality, Ning Fei’s popularity hadn’t reached that level.


The new viewers all clamored to ask, ‘Why is this webcaster so special?’


‘He looks ordinary.’


‘Ordinary? His looks are ordinary?’


‘I mean, there isn’t anything special.’


‘The host is a real outdoor explorer. His drone films everything live. In the afternoon just now, he fed two pandas, and he has a falcon!’


‘Are you serious? Pandas?’


‘Just sit back and watch. He is truly a gem!’


‘Tomorrow, he will be going into the jungle for an expedition. He is preparing his equipment tonight.’


‘His equipment is indeed professional. It’s worth looking forward to.’


Everyone was discussing heavily about Ning Fei and his equipment while he was unpacking.


Going on an expedition was something interesting. Once he came back from one, he would often want to take a long break. Yet, he wouldn’t be able to resist making another trip once again after his time off.


After he ensured that everything was in order, Ning Fei smiled at everyone and said, “Dear viewers, I’m going to rest early tonight. See you in the morning! This time, I will bring everyone to the ‘yin’ side of the mountain to have a good look. There is bound to be treasure there.”


Even though everyone was still reluctant to bid him goodbye, Ning Fei chose to end the livestream.



It was the dawn of the following day.


The sun was shining brightly, and the weather was optimal.


Ning Fei checked the weather forecast: it mentioned that it wouldn’t rain for the upcoming week.


It was perfect for an expedition.


Ning Fei began to pack his stuff.


He wore a pair of army-green pants with plenty of pockets. He placed a Swiss Army knife in each of the side pockets.


He had many of the items necessary for survival in the jungle in his backpack.


But the most important thing was… a first-aid box that included serum to clear snake venom. The “yin” side of the mountain was dark, gloomy, and wet, with the most dangerous animals being the venomous snakes.


Other than the serum, there were disinfectants, medicine to reduce inflammation, pills, bandages, diarrhea pills, and other required medicine.


Ning Fei had once gone deep into the jungle with his master when he was young, so he had a good amount of knowledge on it.


Other than that, Ning Fei also made a nest for Little Falcon on his shoulder as he planned to bring it along.


After everything was ready, he began the webcast at 9:00 a.m. sharp.


When it began, many familiar usernames entered the webcast room. At the sight of Ning Fei in his professional attire, everyone exclaimed about how suave he looked.


Ning Fei had selected his equipment and tools with weight as a major priority. His backpack was also light. As he would be searching for plants in the mountains, he didn’t want to tire himself out with unnecessary weight.


“Viewers, today we will be going deep into the jungle for an expedition. Thank you everyone for watching.”


Ning Fei set off without further ado after his message.


He carried his bag and trekked on a path.


This time, he was much faster. He had slowed down the previous time because he was looking for lingzhi. This time, he had only the “yin” side of the mountain in mind, so it only took him two hours to get there.


Ning Fei adjusted the angle of the drone before he pointed in a direction and said, “Everyone, look there. That is the wettest and darkest part of the mountain. There is no sunlight all year round, and it’s a heaven for lingzhi. I will slow down to explore carefully.”


The viewers directed their vision towards the area that Ning Fei had pointed. There were two precipices there.


With a glance, everywhere was lush and green, and covered with towering trees.


It was a magnificent sight, and the viewers couldn’t help but be astonished by the beauty.


‘It’s so beautiful!’


‘The scenery in the mountain is the best!’


‘Amazing!’


Everyone was in awe.


Ning Fei began his preparations for the expedition.


“Everyone, please take note that the beasts are not the most terrifying part in an expedition. It’s actually the insects. Fortunately, I have a unique insect-repelling incense. So far, I haven’t been bitten by any insects on the mountains, and that’s why I’m still unharmed.”


Ning Fei explained as he strode briskly.


For this livestream, he took out the insect-repelling incense from his bag, which he had removed from the Hall of Purity.


He was in a concentrated area of clustered trees and often had to think of ways to make his way past them.


More viewers joined the livestream.


Ning Fei’s webcast show was indeed authentic.


At this time, there were several twisted trees that blocked Ning Fei’s path entirely.


Ning Fei first studied the barrier before he increased his speed. With a leap, he stepped on a branch with his left foot and lifted himself up. His other foot landed on another branch, and with another leap, he landed on the ground again.


The viewers were all dumbfounded by his actions.


What was that?


Martial arts?


He was way too good!


Ning Fei had excellent leaping skills.


During his daily training, he trained himself to be as light as a swallow. He would coordinate his movements and train his actions to be precise and accurate.


After years of practicing with a sword, Ning Fei had naturally gained some skills.


Thus, his leaps had astonished everyone.


On the screen, many showered him with praise.
