Chapter 001 Live Hunting
Yunlu Village.
The sky gradually brightened and smoke rose from the village. Lu Xuan came out of his home carrying a basket on his back. Along the way, he met several villagers who were working in the fields with hoes.
These people greeted him cheerfully, "Lu family boy, where are you going to play?"
"Be careful, don't fall again."
Lu Xuan nodded to them in response and continued walking out of the village. After he walked away, he could still vaguely hear those people sighing, saying that he had turned a disaster into a blessing and was no longer stupid after falling, and that the Lu family had finally reaped the rewards of their hardship and so on.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they met the village chief's wife Miao Jinfeng and her eldest daughter-in-law Wu Yinyin who were picking wild vegetables.
The two were surprised to see Lu Xuan. When they learned that he was going into the mountains, Miao Jinfeng asked with concern, "Can you do it alone?"
Lu Xuan said, "Don't worry, auntie. I will be careful." After saying that, he nodded to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and walked past them up the mountain.
After walking for half an hour, there was no other person nearby.
Lu Xuan silently said "turn on the live broadcast" in his mind, and soon a transparent screen full of technology that only he could see appeared in front of him. It was the page of the live broadcast system from the interstellar civilization that he was inexplicably bound to after coming here.
In order to enrich the leisure life of its citizens, interstellar civilization spent decades developing a cross-dimensional live broadcast system and randomly released it into the universe.
The live broadcast system will automatically capture planets with intelligent life, find a host to bind to, and the host will provide cross-dimensional live broadcast services to the interstellar people.
He is one of the hosts found by the system.
The content of the live broadcasts by the anchors bound to the system varies according to their identities. Some broadcast sowing seeds in the fields, some broadcast house fights and palace fights, some broadcast workplace fights, and some even broadcast world wars.
The planes involved include both ancient and modern times. For interstellar people, the ancient times in their impression are ancient times, and the modern times have become ancient times.
To date, the dimension live broadcast system has been launched for a hundred years, and the initial popularity has long passed.
Not every host of the binding system is good at live streaming. In addition, interstellar civilization also has local anchors, and they have a lot of tricks. Without enough interesting content, the audience will not buy it even if it is an ancient live broadcast.
However, the four words "plane live broadcast" are inherently popular. Even though Lu Xuan is just a newcomer, he still attracted hundreds of viewers as soon as he opened the live broadcast room, and the number of online viewers is still slowly increasing.
Lu Xuan said lazily, "Good morning. Didn't someone say that live streaming was boring a few days ago? Today I'm going to show you something interesting. Let's go hunting in the mountains."
After saying that, in order not to affect the field of vision, he shrunk the live broadcast screen to the upper right corner and continued walking up the mountain.
Barrage:
【Finally, something new is being broadcast. If they continue broadcasting the daily routine, I’m really going to unfollow them.】
Who says it isn't? We watch Yuangu livestreams just for the delicious food, but the hosts' meals these past few days are just plain porridge and side dishes, which don't even taste as good as nutritional supplements. I'm speechless.
After seeing the barrage, Lu Xuan agreed deeply.
The food he ate during the past few days was indeed not very good.
The Lu family was not well off and had simple meals every day. In the morning, the breakfast prepared by sister Lu Qing was just porridge, steamed bread and an egg.
The eggs were cooked for him because he fell on his head a few days ago and I wanted him to recuperate. Usually, we would save the eggs at home and sell them for money, and we would not eat them at all.
He gave the boiled eggs to his younger brother Lu Chen, who was secretly swallowing his saliva but pretending not to care, and made do with the thin porridge and steamed bread for himself.
But to be honest, with his appetite, this amount of food is not even enough to fill him half full, at most it can fill the gaps between his teeth.
So whether it is for the sake of your own stomach or to improve the conditions of your family, this trip into the mountains is essential.
[By the way, the host said he wanted to go hunting. Do you have any hunting experience before? ]
[Didn't you watch the live broadcast a few days ago? The host was a fool before, and he only recovered after the binding system. How could he possibly hunt?]
"How dare you go into the mountains without hunting skills? I don't see any weapons in the basket behind you. Hunting with bare hands? So reckless?"
[Emmm... Although animals in ancient times didn't mutate, they didn't even have weapons. Is the host trying to be funny?]
[Blindly guessing that today's live broadcast will end empty-handed! Hehe.]
[Not to mention being empty-handed, if you encounter a ferocious beast, it would be a blessing if you don’t get eaten.]
Lu Xuan glanced at the comments and nonchalantly replied in his mind, "What would I say if I caught it? Are you guys doing a handstand and having diarrhea, or are you livestreaming eating shit?"
[Eh! The host has such a strong taste!?]
[It's okay to have diarrhea while standing upside down, but if you can catch prey, I'll throw a gift at you! At least a flower!]
[Then I'll also make a bet that the host won't be able to hunt anything.]
A few more spectators followed suit and made bets. The stakes were basically hearts and flowers, which were worth 50 star coins and 100 star coins respectively. They were the cheapest gifts except for the 10 star coin nutritional supplements.
Something is better than nothing.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "Get your gifts ready and wait for a slap in the face."
The audience thought, everyone can brag, but it’s hard to say who will get slapped in the face in the end.
As he spoke, Lu Xuan quickened his pace.
Because villagers often come here to pick wild vegetables and collect firewood, the traces of human activities are obvious at the foot of the mountain, so naturally there is no hope of finding any valuable prey. Lu Xuan keeps walking deeper and deeper.
The further in, the harder the mountain road became to walk on, but Lu Xuan, dressed in old clothes, always maintained a nonchalant composure.
After walking for about half an hour, when there were almost no traces of human beings around, Lu Xuan finally stopped and looked around.
The mountains and forests of this era were almost the same as those he remembered before the end of the world.
The trees don't grow larger, become twisted, or emit a pungent smell, and the vines wrapped around the branches hang down naturally, not as if they were alive and trying to strangle you like a snake.
The ordinary and common mountains and forests in the eyes of others seemed like a world away to Lu Xuan. It had been a long time since he last saw them.
Lu Xuan sighed in his heart, quickly collected his thoughts, walked to a suitable tree, jumped lightly, grabbed a high branch with one hand, and then turned over neatly and stood directly on the tree.
[??? It's so intense! How did the anchor climb up the tree in the blink of an eye?!?]
"This branch has to be at least three and a half meters long! Can I just jump up there with one jump?!"
[This anchor seems to have something special! ]
[…Why do I have this ominous feeling? I wonder if I’m going to get slapped in the face.]
Lu Xuan ignored them and stood on a high place to observe the surrounding environment.
It is now July, the height of summer. The trees in the mountains are lush and leafy, and the ground is covered with green grass. Everything you see is green.
The scenery is nice, but the field of vision is greatly limited.
Fortunately, the impact on Lu Xuan was not that great.
Soon he knew what he was doing and jumped down from the tree. His movements were still smooth and effortless, without making any sound, which surprised the audience in the live broadcast room again.
But they soon discovered that the surprise was too early and more exciting things were yet to come!
Lu Xuan, who had just been walking aimlessly, suddenly walked in a certain direction with great purpose. After walking about twenty meters, he pulled away the grass and revealed a pheasant's nest hidden inside. There was actually a nest of six small and tempting pheasant eggs in it!
Lu Xuan picked up the eggs and held them up to the sunlight, then put the four unfertilized eggs into the basket he carried with him. He pushed the grass back, changed direction again, walked about thirty meters to the right, and repeated the same trick to find a chicken coop again, collecting three eggs from it.
Then came the third nest, the fourth nest... The harvest in the basket increased at an extremely fast rate, reaching more than twenty in a blink of an eye!
On the way, Lu Xuan even climbed up the tree twice, took a few bird eggs from the bird's nest, and found a lush bunch of mushrooms under the tree in the shade.
The hundreds of viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned.
[Oh my god! What kind of incredible luck is this, host?! Is this even possible??]
[Are you stupid? What luck? Can't you see that the host is searching precisely? He always finds the right one. How can it be luck? He clearly predicted it in advance!]
[How did he do that? Did he climb the tree just to find the chicken coop?]
Why can't I see anything? The grass is so dense, how can I see anything?
How do you explain finding so many pheasant eggs in such a short period of time?
[…Maybe it really is luck?]
Lu Xuan casually agreed: "My luck has always been good."
"If you put it that way, I think there's something wrong! Could it be a supernatural power?"
[Visual enhancement ability? ]
Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. "Guess?"
The audience was speechless, and someone, remembering the bet, reminded him: "Eggs don't count as prey, they don't count! They have to be living animals!"
Lu Xuan nodded, "Don't worry, I won't refuse your gifts."
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a few small stones from the ground.
The audience was puzzled, what are they going to do this time?
Lu Xuan did not answer.
What are you doing? You’ll know when you see it.
Just at this moment, a rustling sound came from a patch of grass not far ahead. Lu Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and the stone in his hand suddenly flew out with a "whoosh".
Before the audience could ask any questions, they heard the sound of a stone hitting something.
The audience's eyelids jumped: It can't be such a coincidence, no way, no way!
Lu Xuan walked over slowly and picked up a rabbit from the grass. It was dead, but its body was still warm and its head was broken into pieces.
He weighed it in his hand and said, "About two and a half kilograms, not bad." Then he threw the rabbit into the half-full basket.
Barrage:
[…No, can anyone tell me what just happened? I’m a bit confused.]
[The host shot a rabbit in the head with a small stone!? ]
[The rabbit's head is all blown apart! A bloody mess! Mais!!! Next time, can you give us a warning before seeing this kind of gory scene?!]
[Is that a student upstairs? This little scene is so shocking.]
[Isn't the main point the host's strength? Using rocks as weapons is such a show! I'm asking everyone here, who can do that? Who!]
[No wonder he didn't bring any weapons. It turns out he can hunt just by picking up a few small rocks. Awesome!]
[I don't believe it, it's a coincidence! It must be a coincidence!]
Regardless of whether the audience was shocked, incredulous or skeptical, Lu Xuan's action brought some extra buzz and traffic to the live broadcast room. More than half of the audience who were originally just watching clicked to follow.
Then Lu Xuan used practical actions to tell them whether it was a coincidence or not.
As if it was a replay of the scene of looking for pheasant eggs, Lu Xuan used the few remaining stones in his hand to attack several times again, and each time he hit the target, accurately hitting the prey hiding in the grass.
Hare, hare, pheasant, hare...
In less than ten minutes, the number of prey in Lu Xuan's hands increased to five.
The barrage was quiet for a while before it suddenly came back to its senses and exploded.
Those who had previously bet to smash a flower or a heart excitedly smashed five or ten in a row.
[I bow down to the host! This is truly amazing! I admit defeat! Here’s a gift!]
[Just casually shooting a stone at the prey and getting a headshot is so cool! I've got a new way to show off!]
[It's not as exciting as Star Wars or mecha battles, but it's still so exciting for some reason! !]
[I don't think the host has a visual enhancement ability, this is clearly a strength enhancement type! How can he directly shoot his prey in the head without some strength!]
[By the way, does the anchor have some obsession? Why is it always headshots?]
Lu Xuan glanced at the barrage, "It's a habit, and it's hard to change it for a while."
How can I develop this habit?
Lu Xuan didn't answer directly, but just said: "I just say I'm lucky."
The audience in the live broadcast room was speechless, "It's obviously strength, not luck at all! Do you think we are stupid?"
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly: "It's all about the same. Luck is part of strength. With strength, luck will naturally improve."
Audience in the live broadcast room: ...It sounds quite reasonable.
The rustling sound came from behind again, and Lu Xuan and the audience knew that the prey had come again.
The audience, who were still in high spirits, were eagerly waiting to see Lu Xuan continue showing off his skills, but the latter heard something and his eyes moved slightly.
He turned around slowly, and the view in the live broadcast room changed accordingly, allowing the audience to clearly see the prey not far away...
——It turned out to be a ferocious-looking wild boar!
After a moment of silence in the live broadcast room, it was instantly flooded with scrolling barrages of comments.
Oh my god! What a huge wild boar!
[This is really over, the anchor is going to be in trouble. ]
【Tell a joke: I am very lucky. 】
Although the wild boars in ancient times did not mutate, the original species were ferocious beasts. If they did not run fast enough, they could easily be hit to death. Even if they were not killed, they would be seriously injured.
And the wild boar in their sight was clearly kicking its legs in preparation for a sprint.
[Anchor, run! ! ! !]
[Isn't the anchor very good at climbing trees? Quickly find a tree to hide in! ]
While the audience was nervous and anxious for Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, the person involved, did not move, but watched the wild boar rushing towards him calmly.
The audience was anxious and angry.
Could it be that he was frightened silly at such a critical moment?
How could you fail at such a critical moment!
Seeing the wild boar getting closer and closer to Lu Xuan, the timid audience subconsciously closed their eyes, thinking that it was all over and the anchor they just became fans of was going to be in trouble.
But more viewers widened their eyes in disbelief after seeing what happened next.
