Chapter 37: A Green Hat?

Ning Fei plucked out two slim twigs and peeled off the outer layers before using them as a pair of chopsticks.

He picked up a piece of fish and cooled it by blowing on it. Before he could put it inside his mouth, Little Falcon jumped impatiently to Ning Fei’s arm with the intention of snatching the food.

Ning Fei tapped its head to make it retreat.

It was natural for animals to snatch food, but as a pet, he had to train it not to snatch food.

Little Falcon was puzzled by Ning Fei’s action and watched him from the ground.

Ning Fei popped the fish into his mouth. The taste of the roasted fish was good, and Ning Fei nodded in approval.

After that, he picked up a piece of fish to feed Little Falcon. Little Falcon seemed to understand as it gobbled that piece of fish. Then it began to squawk.

Ning Fei lowered his hand to allow Little Falcon to jump onto his arm. Then he picked up another piece of fish with the other hand.

He ate a piece before feeding Little Falcon again.

Little Falcon was smart and observant. It watched Ning Fei quietly, and when it was its turn, it opened its mouth excitedly.

The audience was amazed and impressed by Little Falcon’s behavior. This bird was really smart!

Ning Fei’s roasted fish smelled, looked, and tasted good. There were chili bits, salt, and cumin on the fish as steam rose in spirals from it.

The viewers were all envious when they saw that.

The drone circled the air and offered various views.

When it flew further away, the viewers all gasped in admiration.

The scene was too beautiful.

The sky was like a quilt; the ground was the bed, and the stars were the clothes. The lake was as beautiful as a giant piece of jade, with a man, a falcon, and a fire nearby. The mountains, water, and smoke complemented the view.

‘I think this can be a portrait.’

‘Every single thing is so beautiful.’

‘The looks of the webcaster is the most important.’

‘I had no idea we could see such an outdoor webcast. This is wonderful.’

The viewers expressed their astonishment.

The drone zoomed in.

The human and bird had almost demolished the entire fish.

“The ingredients were not enough. There are many ways to cook a fish and many types of ingredients and spices. For example, we could have added egg whites to improve the flavor. If we had anise, fennel seeds, nutmeg, red roots, cassia bark, and others, it would be fantastic.”

Ning Fei simply felt that the taste could be much better, but this was the wilderness, and he didn’t have the luxury to bring everything.

Nonetheless, he had caused all the viewers to fall into a trance.

How could this webcaster know so much?

A majority of the viewers had never heard of these herbs or spices before.

Ning Fei stood up as darkness began to fall.

The lake was beautiful, and Ning Fei was reluctant to go. But he knew he had to.

He first put out the fire before demolishing the stone stove. After he made sure that everything was fine, only then did he leave. Ning Fei loved this mountain, and naturally, he would do anything to protect it.

Ning Fei returned to the tent and checked it over again. He then scattered some realgar powder before entering the tent.

The drone descended to the ground.

After a tiring day, Ning Fei bade the viewers goodbye and ended the livestream.

After he ended the livestream, many of his viewers were still longing to see him. They said goodbye reluctantly.

Ning Fei checked his popularity points and saw that it had reached 1,200,000. The rate at which his popularity was increasing was amazing.

The first few days were the days when the growth in viewers would be the fastest. Soon, it would become stable, and it would be hard to see a huge, significant increase.

For the top, most-popular webcasters, their viewers usually stayed at around four million viewers unless they had some explosive content that day.

Ning Fei had spent 116,000 popularity points, so he still had more than one million points left.

Ning Fei suddenly felt nervous. With a million popularity points, he could select the Platinum lucky draw.

“System, I want ten tries at the Platinum lucky draw!”

“Ding! Host has chosen to play the Platinum lucky draw ten times. Spinning for prizes now…”

“Ding! Congratulations to Host on getting the following items!”

“A pair of magical binoculars with the latest technology. Host will be able to adjust the lens.”

“Three premium-grade body-strengthening pills. It will strengthen Host’s body significantly.”

“Another five premium-grade body-strengthening pills.”

“Ten premium-grade packs of bird feed. It will increase the bird’s intelligence and aggressiveness.”

“Five bags of premium-grade Silver fertilizer. It will substantially increase the plant’s rate of growth, without any side effects.”

“One magical bean from a mysterious magical world. It can compress chemical compounds and allow the food to be slowly digested in the stomach. Once ingested, one won’t feel hungry for three days. It also heals external wounds.”

“Ding! Congratulations to Host on getting the following items!”

“Five animal friendship cards that will enable the user to forge a bond with an animal. It will also greatly diminish the aggressiveness of large animals.”

“Ding! Congratulations to Host on getting the following skills!”

“Special driving skills that will allow the user to drive various vehicles, such as excavators, trucks, and bulldozers.”

“Architectural skills that will allow Host to design buildings and infrastructure.”

“Acupuncture skills that require practice beforehand. It comes with a set of ancient manuals and some real magical medical skills. It will allow the user to adjust the yin and yang flow and also to unblock nerves and arteries.”

The announcements rang in Ning Fei’s head.

The longer Ning Fei listened, the more nervous he became. Under normal circumstances, the System would start with the items, followed by skills, and the highest value was certainly the skills. Thus, when Ning Fei heard about the eight items, he couldn’t help but be delighted.

Three skills!

It was truly the Platinum lucky draw.

The probability was accurate!

The special driving and architectural skills were perfect for a man who lived in a village and a mountain!

And he had even obtained acupuncture skills! But the practice part puzzled Ning Fei.

He decided to consult the System and try to understand what it meant. As acupuncture skills were a premium skill, the user wouldn’t be able to immediately possess it. He or she would need time and practice to absorb the skill. That is, he would need an hour a day over a span of 10 days.

China had many traditional secrets and methods, such as the art of landscape painting or the ancient study of change in human life. Many people who had studied all their life might not even understand anything beyond superficial knowledge.

Acupuncture skills were considered one of them.

As for this skill, Ning Fei was extremely pleased with it. He really needed medical skills.

At the thought of Grandma Wang’s illness, he began to feel more hopeful.

Ning Fei took out the cooling hat and the magical binoculars. As the sun was blazing in the afternoon, he really needed this cooling hat. However, Ning Fei couldn’t help but frown at the cooling hat.

“This hat… is green¹?”
