Outside, snow was falling heavily, while inside, a campfire radiated warmth.
They were dressed warmly, but Philoya and the others still felt a bone-chilling cold.
They never imagined that they, as elite individuals, would be considered a nuisance.
Well, it really hurts my self-esteem.
The barbecue in my hand doesn't even taste good anymore.
The viewers in the live stream also had many feelings.
[The idea of elites being looked down upon by primitive humans is so relatable; it's making me feel like my self-esteem is taking a serious hit.]
[I'm starting to question the meaning of life. Just how strong does Sang Ning have to be to say something like Emmanuel and the others are in the way?]
I'm eager to know Sang Ning's strength. Why don't we have them have a match?
[It doesn't seem to work, mainly because these people are all very opinionated. Even the poorest one, Sang Ning, can ignore our tips and rebel against us, not to mention Emmanuel and the others.]
Knowing them as I do, if we dared to make such a request, they would definitely do something unexpected.
As soon as this comment appeared, countless viewers gave up, but some viewers were still determined to give it a try.
When they tried it, Emmanuel said, "If you want to see us compete, call us 'Mom' and 'Dad' first."
This left the audience unsure how to respond.
The audience understands what it means, and it is precisely because they understand that they feel uncomfortable.
Indeed, in this age of highly developed entertainment and technology, all kinds of entertainment are flourishing, including various kinds of live streaming.
There are many types of live streams, but regardless of the type of streamer or the platform, they all rely on the streamer's popularity, as well as the viewers' traffic and donations.
For their own benefit, there are quite a few people who are willing to please the audience.
Even in live broadcasts of some programs, the intelligent beings being broadcast, even if they don't care about the audience as much as the broadcasters do, will try their best to build a good relationship with the audience, instead of confronting them like Emmanuel and the others do.
The players of Wilderness Survival are not streamers who live off donations, nor are they entertainment industry figures who need to care about the influence of their audience. Strictly speaking, the players of Wilderness Survival come from all walks of life.
They were all industry elites, with Sang Ning being the only exception.
However, this supposedly most agreeable exception was immediately followed by Emmanuel's remark, "Why aren't you shouting? Shout and we'll grant your request."
audience,"···"
The audience thought about it and decided against it; their parents were still alive and well, and if they dared to shout, their parents would beat them to death.
As a result, the audience flooded the screen with comments like "You guys are so ruthless."
Sang Ning scoffed, "Is this what you call ruthless? I think you haven't experienced the harsh realities of society. You haven't even used your truly ruthless tricks yet."
Emmanuel and the others immediately looked at her as if she were an alien.
Monet exclaimed in shock, "You have even more ruthless tricks up your sleeve?"
Sanning, "···"
Thank you so much for your support!
"Um."
Nodding, she said, "Yes, there are even more ruthless tricks, but you definitely wouldn't want to know."
"I find this interesting."
Louis replied earnestly, "I'm very brave, I'm not afraid."
"I'm scared!"
Sang Ning said seriously, "I was really scared. When I first learned about these tricks, I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep at night..."
"Wait, what do you mean by 'can't sleep at night'?"
Phylloa interrupted her and asked, "It means I can't fall asleep at night no matter what." Sang Ning took a deep breath and said, "It means I can't fall asleep at night no matter what."
Everyone was shocked after hearing her explanation.
"That's amazing?"
"Absolutely." Sang Ning sighed. "It's really powerful. Let me tell you the most basic one: it's called 'a thousand cuts.' Do you know what that means?"
"It means to cut flesh from a living being, separating the flesh from the bone, cutting the flesh off piece by piece until death."
"It seems somewhat similar to the torture methods of the Kata tribe."
Elliott said, "I remember the Kata tribe had a similar torture method, but instead of a knife, they would put a beaked beast up there and bite off pieces of flesh from the living creature and eat them."
Once all the flesh and skin are gone, leaving only the skeleton and internal organs, the beaked beast will then remove and eat the internal organs. Only then will the creature die.
Everyone was speechless.
Sanning, "!!!"
Is this even possible?
"They've eaten all the flesh and skin and they're still not dead?"
Mu Tao's pupils widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Are intelligent life forms this resistant to pain?"
"The pain of having flesh bitten off piece by piece—how strong must one's will be to endure that pain and wait for death to officially arrive?"
"We can't hold on."
Elliott said calmly, "But there's no need to feel pain. Multiple studies and data have shown that the saliva of the spiky beast has the effect of numbing the pain nerves of intelligent life."
"In other words, intelligent life forms bitten by a beaked beast will only feel pain the first time they are bitten, and will not feel pain afterward."
"It is said that many people who suffer this torture do not survive until their flesh is eaten away and they die, not from the pain, but from the fear."
Monet frowned upon hearing this and said, "But aren't beaked beasts one of the raw materials that provide the main ingredients for anesthetic drugs?"
"Yes, nowadays the Sharp-beaked Beast has another name: the Anesthetizer Beast. But a thousand years ago, the Sharp-beaked Beast was a tool used by the Kata tribe to punish the guilty."
Since the topic of the Kata tribe's beaked beasts had come up, Elliot, taking advantage of the situation, began to share some gossip about the various races.
Regardless of the era, the fundamental nature of intelligent life as mere spectators remains unchanged.
While not everyone loves gossip, most people certainly do.
Sang Ning and the others really love it, and none of the viewers in the live stream don't love it either.
So, the special story session dedicated to Elliott began, and Sanning and the others listened with rapt attention.
To enhance the atmosphere, Sang Ning also invited Fimonloa to help her get some wine.
After the wine is fermented and filtered, it settles for a period of time. The color of the wine is now really beautiful, a dark red that doesn't appear cloudy.
The taste is alright; the wine flavor isn't strong, it's a bit sour and astringent, with a fruity and floral aroma.
The fruity aroma comes from the grapes themselves, while the floral aroma comes from the honey.
In addition, the oak barrels used add the aroma of oak to the various flavors.
When all the flavors are mixed together, they create a unique taste. It may not taste good at first, but it's not so bad once you get used to it.
Anyway, Emmanuel and his friends really like it.
The audience also seemed to enjoy it. When Sang Ning and Fimonloya brought out the wine, they even forgot to listen to the story and started sending comments to let them have a taste.
Sang Ning generously fulfilled their request.
Then, people both online and offline continued listening to the story while sipping wine and snacking on barbecue.
