YM778.TV Chapter 266: 263: Isn't the Judge Also a Participant?
In the afternoon, after dinner, Bi Fang didn’t return to the hotel, but instead chose the suitable “props” with Jerret.
Unlike last time when the capture of Bi Fang was done stealthily, this time the show’s team arranged for the sixteen contestants to stay in different hotels and explicitly stated that there would be attempts to capture them, which they could resist. If they successfully resisted, they would receive a reward—a random starting item just like before.
Although the items were random, they were guaranteed to be useful, and now Bi Fang was picking out the right ones. After all, in this area, he was the expert.
Standing in front of the display case, Jerret suddenly asked, “How many people do you think can escape capture?”
Bi Fang recalled the list of contestants and their profiles and experiences, and after considering the capabilities of the four brothers he had encountered before, he came up with a mental estimate, “Two or three.”
Jerret was dumbfounded when he heard this number, not because it was too many, but because it was too few.
A total of sixteen people, and in Bi Fang’s mind, only two to three could escape the four-man teams capture?
These were not just some random people snatched from the street, but competent individuals, many of whom were special forces soldiers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to sign up for Wilderness Arena. Yet, in Bi Fang’s words, only two or three could escape capture?
Bi Fang laughed, knowing what Jerret was thinking by his expression, “The four-man team may not be special forces, but they are professional soldiers, and they work well together. Don’t underestimate them: regular special forces soldiers can’t handle them easily. Last time I also had a slight advantage.”
The Wolves King’s Sense of Smell was no joke. The four-man team hadn’t even formally started their action last time when Bi Fang smelled them; afterward, he could also roughly deduce their location based on their scent, predicting the enemy’s moves, and that’s why he seemed to deal with the four-man team with relative ease.
If it were someone else, it might not be the same. To escape capture, one’s skills have to be good, and one’s alertness has to be high, with a strong counter-surveillance awareness. Not everyone can meet both criteria.
“Also, don’t over-mythologize special forces; they are formidable, but not invincible. In real situations, a special forces soldier handling three or four ordinary soldiers is already quite impressive.”
“Okay, then.” Jerret reluctantly nodded, involuntarily gaining more respect for the four-man team, difficult as it was to believe. But who else but Bi Fang was saying this?
It’s like when an ordinary person meets Einstein, and he tells you one plus one equals three, your first reaction isn’t to think he’s wrong but to wonder if it’s some calculation method you don’t know.
A few minutes later, Bi Fang, with six items ready, nodded to indicate he had made his choice.
A 500g military canned meat, a twenty-meter piece of nylon rope, a small claw knife, two military canteens, and a standard compass.
“Just these?” Jerret was somewhat speechless, taking only six items. Did he really think that few would escape?
Bi Fang blinked, “Believe me, even with six items, there’ll still be some left over. Do you believe that?”
“Believe, believe, if not you then who should I believe in myself? I’m just a director, what do I know about wilderness survival.” Jerret rolled his eyes.
…
The next morning, Bi Fang sat with the production team inside a motorhome, surrounded by large screens showing every move of the contestants.
The show was officially set to air the day after tomorrow, but the capture operation could start now. The four-man team was already checking the tranquilizer guns to ensure the task went smoothly.
With the experience from the first time, the four brothers were now confident and skilled, believing that they wouldn’t be as embarrassed as the first time when they hardly made contact before all being taken down.
They were determined to restore their manhood in front of a million viewers!
Thinking of this, the four-man team couldn’t help but glance at Bi Fang in front of the computer, fantasizing about him being thrashed by the four brothers, feeling refreshed by the thought—it was like being constipated for three days and then suddenly having a release. There’s only one word for it: exhilarating!
Pondy came over with two big buckets of popcorn, offering one to Bi Fang, “Want some?”
Bi Fang didn’t hesitate to take it and grabbed a handful to stuff into his mouth. Then he looked at the four-man team, “Tastes good, want some?”
For some reason, he always felt like the four-man group’s gaze was somewhat impolite, perhaps it was just a misconception, what bad intentions could a partner have?
The brothers shivered and politely pushed the popcorn bucket back, joking, they’ll talk about reviving manhood later.
The guy in front of them had fought a bear, beaten wolves, and ridden a huge python; prehistoric animal brains had been smashed to a pulp by him, enduring humiliation was not a disgrace.
Bi Fang glanced at the four people’s eyes, shook his head, and stopped paying attention to them, he opened the live broadcast backend, just waiting for the target to leave the room to start broadcasting.
The production crew had warned in advance; within the three days before the program started, watching live broadcasts was strictly forbidden, and if caught on camera, it would be considered a violation and they would be out of the competition.
Nobody would be foolish enough to cheat in such a way; at least three drones would be tracking and filming them, ensuring there were no blind spots.
Finally, a contestant from the show exited his room, a discharged soldier, not special forces but with ten years of military experience, and for a time, a hunter.
The four-man group packed up their things and immediately left the trailer, and headed towards the target.
The hotel side had been notified, many guests were also told to stay in their rooms as much as possible to avoid panic during the upcoming activity, and those interested could also turn on their phones to check the live broadcast at any time.
On this end, Bi Fang had also connected to his live streaming room, even though the broadcast was a surprise attack, with the push notification sent out, the viewer count began to grow rapidly.
Whether it’s Wolf Fang or MeTube, the daily view counts are very large, as soon as a notification is sent out, it won’t take long to spread rapidly.
Those die-hard fans of Bi Fang’s live broadcasts would also be paying attention to the live room in advance, the moment a notification popped up, they would rush over just as quickly.
So after just a few minutes, while the four-man group hadn’t yet reached the hotel, the audience in the live room had already grown to a significant number, a few hundred thousand.
Among them, thirty percent were domestic viewers.
[Whoa, Old Fang started broadcasting, and it’s not even the end of spring break, diving right into Wilderness Survivalist, so dedicated, I’m touched.]
[Being able to watch my favorite streamer during spring break, what bliss is this, Old Fang truly spoils his fans.]
[Hurry up with the opening remarks, I can’t wait any longer!]
[Let’s throw a Wolf Brush to celebrate.]
Seeing the excited audience, Bi Fang also felt honored, with a faint sense of happiness lingering in his heart, a sense of achievement as if his value had been proven, but sadly, he was about to disappoint everyone this time.
“Sorry, this time it’s not me who’s going on a wilderness adventure. Remember that other show Mugalen mentioned last time, Wilderness Arena?”
Upon hearing this, the audience felt a sense of loss, but as soon as they heard Wilderness Arena, many viewers remembered, and the platform had been promoting it the last few days. But if they remembered correctly, hadn’t it been announced that Bi Fang would participate?
[That’s not right, didn’t you say you were participating, Old Fang?]
[Yeah, yeah, and you had an agreement with Mugalen to meet again, why aren’t you joining now? Isn’t this taking advantage of the honest people?]
Bi Fang chuckled, “I haven’t taken advantage of the honest people.”
Then, he lifted the camera to shoot a panoramic view, capturing the entire scene inside the trailer, leaving nothing out, indicating that he was engaged in recording the program.
“I am participating, but didn’t say as a competitor.”
“Isn’t being a judge also participating?”
