Although Wang Guoqiang and Jia Xingye are not very popular, with only tens of thousands of fans in their live stream, their professorial titles and connections to prestigious 589 universities give them a lot of authority and make their words credible to a large number of netizens.
Many people immediately went to Baidu to search for information about the acacia fruit, and it was quickly confirmed whether the fruit was poisonous or not.
"I just found out from Baidu that the description is exactly the same as that of Li Sheng and Professor Wang Guoxing. Luckily, that idiot didn't eat it, or I would have called an ambulance on the spot."
"I remember Wang Yao was a fairly well-known streamer, specializing in wilderness survival. He had quite a reputation in that field. How come he doesn't even know what's edible and what's not?"
"I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Wang Yao's live stream. He was jumping around cleaning windows in the middle of nowhere. It almost killed me with laughter."
"Knowledge is endless. It's normal not to know such obscure things. Even Grandpa Bei doesn't know much about them. Let's be more tolerant of others."
"I think Wang Yao's wilderness survival is really fake. If I say it's scripted, you'll all gang up on me again."
"Wang Yao just now looked like a cornered dog jumping over a wall."
"Shut up! Stop yelling, okay? You guys in the comments section, how many of these people do you even know?"
"Even Wang Yao found at least so many varieties, those red fruits are so bright red that they are easily mistaken for food, okay?"
"Exactly, there are always some people who love to stir up trouble, I don't know what they're up to."
...
Wang Yao felt utterly humiliated and couldn't save face. Meanwhile, his team in the studio secretly rejoiced at his behavior. He always got the credit while they took all the blame. When the video went wrong, one of them was dragged out to take the fall and was relentlessly criticized online for a month before being fired. If it weren't for the contract, they would have quit long ago.
Now Wang Yao knows that without their support, he's nothing. They'll be gone when his contract expires next month. Let whoever wants to make money off these kinds of people have it.
At this moment, Wang Yao saw that Li Sheng's basket contained many red fruits, and not only many red ones, but also other colors. Compared to most people's baskets, Li Sheng's was definitely the most colorful. He walked forward with his arms crossed and pointed at Li Sheng's basket: "Don't you have red ones here too? And purple ones and yellow ones too? Can all of these be eaten? And can these greenish mushrooms be eaten?"
Li Sheng laughed. He really didn't know why Wang Yao couldn't stand him. Could it be that he was too handsome and made Wang Yao feel ashamed and unable to hold his head up? But who gave him the courage to question him instead of thinking about how to save face at this moment?
Since they've practically delivered their face to his doorstep, there's nothing he can do. He then gestured for the old man to proceed. The old man disliked Wang Yao's arrogance. In the wild, one must be cautious about any food, and an attitude like Wang Yao's would be extremely dangerous.
The old man sorted thirty different kinds of plants from Li Sheng's basket. The old man's brows furrowed slowly, his initial seriousness turning into appreciation. He hadn't specifically asked the production team how many of the plants in the competition were edible and how many were poisonous.
All his judgments came from the knowledge in his mind, but now his knowledge was not enough. Although he was popular in this field, he did not stop exploring nature. However, some plants appeared in his blind spots. He whispered a few words to another host, and then someone took out an electronic tablet.
After scanning through all the plants collected by Li Sheng, information on each plant appeared. None of the boxes had a red mark, which meant that all thirty plants were edible.
The old man stepped forward and shook hands with Mr. Li: "Congratulations! You have found all thirty edible plants. If you could, could you briefly introduce these edible plants and tell us how you found them in such a short time?"
The camera focused on Li Sheng, who appeared very composed in front of it. His handsome face occupied 80% of the screen area in the live broadcast room.
"This was done by my daughter Naituan and me. To speed things up, we decided to divide the work. I picked plants that were easily confused between yellow and green, while Naituan chose plants from the brightly colored ones..."
Wang Yao was even more indignant. He thought that a three-year-old child could make the selection, so he was just saying it on purpose and putting on a show. He forced a smile and insisted on intervening to undermine her: "Since you say that the milk group made the selection, then let the milk group introduce the part that she chose. Otherwise, it will be hard to convince people."
The little dumpling, holding a small bottle of water, rolled its eyes at Wang Yao and said, "Stupid uncle, who do you think you are? Do you think everyone is like you, all talk and no action?"
This little girl is truly fearless, she's incredibly arrogant. You and your father will make a fool of yourselves later.
Li Sheng's live stream room.
"So cool and domineering! He's definitely going to be the future king of the jungle."
"Holy crap! He's so cocky with that baby bottle in his mouth, I love it!"
"Auntie is in love with it, she's completely obsessed."
"The first arrogant little girl in history to kick out a restaurant while holding a baby bottle in her mouth."
"Is this the child of the Wild King? No, he's too charming. This perverted old man is already deeply infatuated and can't extricate himself."
"A million-follower streamer gets slapped in the face by a three-year-old baby sucking on a milk ball. I really want to see it, I really want to see it."
"I admit I'm not as good as Wang Yao, but it feels so good to see Wang Yao get slapped in the face."
"I can already imagine Wang Yao turning into a bee puppy. It's so funny, it's made my whole day happy."
...
Mr. Li introduced the plants he found one by one: "Dandelion, the flowers are slightly sweet, the older leaves are bitter, you can blanch them to remove the bitterness, and it can be used externally as medicine; burdock, slightly bitter, you can blanch it to remove the bitterness; plantain can be eaten or applied externally to treat minor injuries or insect bites; purslane can be eaten raw or boiled, and it can be used as medicine; shepherd's purse, sheep's hoof grass, lamb's quarters..."
Li Sheng rattled off eighteen kinds of things in one breath. Most of them were not only edible, but could also be used as medicinal herbs when necessary in the wild. His extensive knowledge impressed the audience.
The more smoothly Li Sheng spoke, the worse Wang Yao's expression became, as if every additional word Li Sheng introduced made Wang Yao feel constipated for another day.
The remaining colorful plums were not used; they were left for the milk group. Otherwise, they would have made Wang Yao's face even more swollen, and he would have brought it upon himself by making him lose face.
