Chapter 47 Preparing to Cross the Wilderness



I even built myself a horizontal bar, and I can now do more than 100 pull-ups. After lunch, I take a nap, and in the afternoon, I sometimes go for a walk in the woods to pick some wild vegetables or relax. After I come back, I start exercising again until nightfall before I start cooking.

After dinner, it will be evening.

Snuggling inside the shelter, they enjoyed the VIP massage service from the milk pack.

It felt so good to have those little feet stepping on those taut, engorged muscles.

"Mmm~ That feels good... Daddy, push harder, it doesn't hurt~."

"Oh~ that feels so good~."

Then I slept soundly until dawn, and my body underwent significant changes.

The tally mark on the big tree signifies that the challenge is nearing its end. Li Sheng's slender physique now faintly reveals eight-pack abs, and his back muscles, biceps, glutes... all show clear and smooth lines when he exerts himself.

At the beginning, I felt extremely tired and it was incredibly difficult to endure the exercise, but now I find it addictive. I've even become addicted to the pain of muscle tears, and I want to move around whenever I have a little time.

He also occasionally shows off some amazing skills to the viewers in the live stream, such as doing handstand push-ups. He can actually do them, and he can do ten steadily, and even has energy left over.

After getting used to life in the wilderness, I not only felt no fear or worry, but I also started to enjoy it. I didn't have to worry about anything every day. No one was urging me to pay rent or pay utilities anymore, and there were no endless debt collection calls. I didn't have to force myself to participate in social activities that I didn't like. I could do whatever I wanted every day, and I could also interact with the viewers in the live stream to relieve my boredom.

He really liked the viewers in the live stream who were all interesting and had pleasant voices.

Now that the live-streaming challenge is nearing its end, he has surprisingly felt reluctant to leave. He has put a lot of effort into this warm little place and has experienced many thrilling things here.

He developed feelings for this place.

Now it's the fourth day to go in this challenge. Thinking about the million-dollar prize I'm about to receive, I'm getting excited and looking forward to it. A million is enough to heal the milk team's eyes, and the income from the live stream is probably quite substantial, enough to pay off a lot of debts. Thinking about all this makes me feel much more relaxed.

At that moment, the drone suddenly started beeping again. The last time it made that sound was when it was giving birth.

Something important must have happened. Could it be that they're having a second child?

The drone flashed green lights rapidly, and the screen no longer displayed his live stream; instead, a small box popped up.

"The final challenge of the Wilderness Live Stream: Use the last four days to traverse the wilderness and reach a populated area before midnight on the last day to be considered a success. If the challenger chooses the correct direction, it will take about 150 kilometers to reach the village. After success, you will receive one million RMB, which will be directly deposited into your bank account, and the management rights of the live stream account will be returned. You will be responsible for handling the profits earned from your personal live stream."

"Regardless of whether the challenge is successful or not, please keep the drone safe. We will use the drone to locate you and return the personal items you entrusted to us for safekeeping."

That wasn't what they said when they first participated. This is undoubtedly a last-minute increase in difficulty. Could it be that they don't want to give him a million?

Not long after, the screen switched back to the live stream.

He felt utterly pissed off, but since the money came from someone else, all he could do was obediently complete their task. Fortunately, the demands weren't too outrageous.

Even if he completes the challenge, he still has to go out on his own. Just consider it a few days earlier. In this wilderness, no one can wait for the live stream to end and come to pick him up. That's unrealistic.

I immediately adjusted my mindset, considering that there were only four days left, and it was already getting late, so it was impossible to pack up and leave now.

Get everything ready today, pack your things, and set off early tomorrow morning.

"Dear viewers in the live stream, thank you all for your support of the streamer over the years. The streamer's one-month challenge is coming to an end. This is the fourth to last day, so in the last three days, the streamer will leave this wilderness and reach a populated area."

"Today we'll do some preparations, pack everything we need to bring, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."

This introduced a new attraction, and the viewers in the live stream naturally showed their support. Li Sheng's live stream viewership remained stable at around 30,000, with peak viewership reaching around 60,000.

For a new streamer, this is a very good result, without any exaggeration, surpassing at least 99% of the streamers.

The first thing Li Sheng packed was food. He had calculated the amount of food perfectly, and now there were only seven or eight catties of dried wild boar meat, a few ripe persimmons, and some sour stalks he had cut from the forest yesterday. This amount of food would last for three days without any problem.

They were all carefully collected and placed in the basket on their backs.

Naturally, we wouldn't take those pottery jars and the like. We'd be traveling for three days straight, which would be very tiring, so we had to travel light. We should leave out anything we could. These things are precious resources in the wilderness, but once we're out of the wilderness, they're not very useful except for their commemorative value.

The last things he packed included food, bamboo tubes filled with yellow mud and wood ash, a sturdy bundle of vine rope, an axe he carried with him, and a homemade bow and arrows. Before setting off, he planned to weave himself some better shoes. His feet were fine, but he needed speed for the next three days and needed better shoes.

Who knows how far it is from where there are people? What if it's more than 150 kilometers as the crow flies? Even if it's only 150 kilometers a day, it's hard to walk at 50 kilometers a day, even on a paved road, let alone in the wilderness. If he doesn't reach a populated area after three days, won't his bonus be gone?

This is not only a test of physical fitness and wilderness knowledge, but also of perseverance and luck. If you encounter wild animals or something and can't deal with them in time, you're doomed.

As expected, getting that million wasn't so easy.

Li Sheng made a crochet hook out of bamboo and turned the coarse fibers of the plant into a relatively soft rope. He is now crocheting the upper of a shoe, stitch by stitch, which is somewhat similar to a sweater, but much harder and rougher.

In appearance, they look somewhat like the plastic shoes that workers wear in the rain, but the soles are thicker. He did this to make them more durable, and he even made two soles so that they could be replaced in time if the soles wore out.

After crocheting it, I stuffed some soft plant padding inside to make it more comfortable to walk on.

Although it was already dark after he finished making the shoes, it was still relatively early, but he needed to go to bed early tonight.

If you don't get a good night's sleep today, you might not have a real chance to sleep for the next three days.
