Makuko grinned as he flipped through the documents in his hands...
"Hehehe, not bad, I knew Ye Feng, that yellow-skinned kid, was definitely not simple."
They've actually climbed to second place on the popularity chart...that's quite a rare thing.
Surely...his compatriots must have contributed a great deal?
The Ugly Emperor nodded…
"It wasn't just Chinese people; many people of Asian descent voted for him, probably over eight million..."
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this number, Makuko laughed even louder…
"Excellent, this is exactly the effect I wanted. We've really hit the jackpot this time."
After laughing twice, the Ugly Emperor suddenly looked worried...
"Sir, we've made the money, but now... there are many fans online who are having reservations about our program..."
"Hmm? What controversy?"
"They all say... Ye Feng's survival is like a picnic, that he was taken care of by us, that it's all a cover-up."
They said those wild boars were deliberately released by us. Chinese people live a comfortable life and would never know how to survive.
They even said that you... deliberately supported him for the sake of manipulation..."
"cut…"
Makuko curled his lip in disdain...
"Don't worry about it, just let the public relations department handle these things..."
Let them yell, all I care about is making money…”
The Ugly Emperor paused…
"But sir, don't you think... what they're saying makes sense?"
Even a famous survival expert like Cairnster could only eat two monkeys in eight days.
But Ye Feng and his group killed several wild boars and even got some lard...
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably would have suspected that we gave him special treatment.
Moreover, each episode is basically over 3 hours long, and he has nearly half an hour of screen time.
As the later episodes air, I'm worried... viewers in other countries might have something to say...
"oh?"
Markuko flicked his cigarette ash...
"So what do you think we should do?"
After pondering for a moment, the Ugly Emperor spoke:
"I think... at least we should cut his scenes and control the time."
Or…we should cause him some disaster…we shouldn't let him have it so easy.”
Upon hearing this, Makuko shook his head without hesitation…
"Are you kidding me?! He's second on the popularity chart, a mainstay of our show. How could we possibly cut his scenes?"
As for this disaster... well, that's something we can consider..."
The Ugly Emperor seemed to understand what he meant... and immediately nodded...
"Understood, I'll arrange it immediately..."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the door, but before he had taken two steps, he was suddenly stopped by Makuko…
"What do you know? Did I ask you to make those arrangements?!"
"But didn't you just say...?"
Makuko rolled his eyes and stubbed out his cigar…
"I've already arranged his disaster... Don't worry, he can only enjoy peace for another 20 days at most."
By then, everything he has now will be gone…
"oh?"
The Ugly Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion:
"Really? May I ask what it is?"
Makuko slowly rose, opened the huge floor-to-ceiling curtains, narrowed his cunning eyes, and gazed at the sun…
"The rainy season in the Amazon is approaching, and it seems like Ye Feng's camp won't be very good for sheltering from the rain..."
The Ugly King was visibly taken aback, and after a few seconds of mental processing, he revealed a sinister grin...
"Sir, you are truly brilliant..."
One night passed...
At dawn, a chorus of coughs echoed through the treehouse… Ye Feng and his two companions were all awakened by a cloud of thick smoke…
"Cough cough cough... What's going on!? Fire!?"
Ye Feng covered his nose, choking and tears streaming down his face. Looking at the white smoke filling half the room, he couldn't find any source of fire…
Two of the windows had been closed at some point, and the fire from last night had been quite large, which is why the thick smoke hadn't dissipated in time…
"Let's go! Let's get out of here first..."
After saying that, he helped Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie quickly leave the house…
Once outside, Ye Feng picked up a wooden stick from under the window…
This is what he used to jam the window shut; if it falls, the window will close...
"Dude, hurry up and put the card back... otherwise the smoke won't escape..."
Ye Feng looked thoughtfully at the roof, and then he realized where the problem lay...
Yesterday, he was so eager to finish the treehouse that he forgot to leave a smoke vent, which was a very serious mistake.
He knocked his head in remorse, then carefully put the stick back in place...
Once the window was opened, the interior quickly returned to its original state…
Before he could even finish his meal, Ye Feng immediately got to work…
He needed to immediately open a ventilation window in the roof, as the smoke produced when a fire was lit inside was extremely dangerous.
Excessive accumulation can easily lead to nitric oxide poisoning…
Even if it is cured, the respiratory tract will be severely damaged, or even suffer irreversible permanent damage.
Thankfully, only two windows were closed last night; if they had been closed completely, the three of them would probably be dead by now…
Ye Feng planned to saw out a skylight of about one square meter, and then use it as a window...
Lay a wooden plank flat above the smoke vent, then find two identical wooden sticks for support and secure them firmly with vines…
Finally, use palm leaves to make several drainage channels to divert rainwater flowing towards the smoke vents in other directions...
This way, smoke can be vented smoothly, and rainwater can't get in...
Ye Feng quickly removed all the plants, measured their positions, and then picked up a saw to get to work.
Seeing that they couldn't be of much help, Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie could only pass things downstairs and make breakfast.
Making a simple smoke vent isn't a big job; once you have a plan, you can get started very quickly...
An hour later, Ye Feng carried the assembled wooden planks to the roof...
One end was successfully wedged into the upper windowsill, and then the two pieces of wood were braced against the roof frame...
Because the top of the wood was carved into a "\/" shape, it easily fit the frame.
In this way, unless there's a particularly severe storm, it generally won't collapse...
To prevent leaks, Ye Feng also covered it with a layer of moss and palm leaves...
Once the irrigation canal was finished, he neatly laid all the leaves back on...
"Nobita, give it a try and see if it works..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Changxiong closed the window and threw a pile of firewood into the fire. As the fire grew, a thick plume of smoke quickly rose upwards…
When it passed through the roof's smoke vents, almost all of it was successfully expelled...
"Hey! It's done..."
"Feng...Brother Feng, you're awesome!"
Ye Feng wiped his sweat. Finally, this safety hazard was resolved…
The three tidied up the house. After a quick breakfast, Ye Feng bid farewell to Fu Changxiong and Qi Xiaojie…
They picked up their composite bows and various other equipment and set off into the northern jungle...
However, he wasn't going to kill the wild boar at this moment; he was going to find a weapon that could kill it…
To be more precise, it's about making a weapon to kill wild boars...
