Chapter 548: Close Encounter with a Great White Shark
The people in the live studio were dumbfounded. They couldn't connect the great white shark in front of them with the "beautiful woman". The shark was covered in scars, most of which were concentrated near its gills.
Xiao Peng stroked the shark's gills and said, "You see these scars, right? You must be wondering what could have hurt it like this. This was done by one of its kind, or more accurately, its 'ex-husband'! The scars on the female shark's body indicate that it has mated before. Sharks also need to find a way to stabilize their bodies during mating, right? You hug your partner when you're intimate! But male sharks don't have hands, so how can they hold a female shark? They use the method of biting the female shark near the gills. You can see that the scars are concentrated there."
"Some people might say, 'Wouldn't it be possible for this shark to lose its life in one sexual encounter?' This worry is actually a bit unnecessary, and the likelihood of such a thing happening is really low. After all, female great white sharks have evolved to cope with such situations. Their skin is almost twice as thick as that of males, specifically to prevent them from being bitten by male sharks during mating. Their relationship is similar to that between Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele."
After hearing Xiao Peng's explanation, someone in the comment section asked in confusion, "Who is that?"
"They are the hero and heroine in the novel Fifty Shades of Grey, a book that is indescribable."
"The anchor reads that kind of book? I think I understand something."
"Shh, you know too much!"
Xiao Peng couldn't read the comments in the barrage, otherwise he would be in tears and laughter. How could such a good novel for middle-aged women to fantasize about become an "unspeakable" book?
He is still introducing the great white shark: "As you can see, I am swimming next to this female great white shark. You should have noticed that I was holding a towel in my hand when I went into the water. What is this for?" Xiao Peng said as he covered the shark's back with the towel, then grabbed its dorsal fin and turned over to lie on the shark's back.
"The skin of a great white shark is incredibly rough. How rough is it? Some fishermen use the skin of great white sharks after hunting them and use it as sandpaper for carpentry. Just imagine how rough it is! If I lay on it without covering myself with a towel, I would definitely bleed profusely."
"Speaking of blood reminds me of something interesting. Countless movies feature the so-called 'common sense' trope: people falling into the sea and bleeding attract sharks. Actually, this plot is... a bit of an artistic fabrication. Sharks are indeed very sensitive to the smell of blood, but that doesn't include human blood. If you pay attention to reports, you'll find that most shark attacks on humans involve bites rather than outright consumption. Some say this is because human flesh doesn't suit sharks' taste, but a more accurate explanation is that human blood doesn't suit sharks' taste. Scientists once conducted an experiment where they poured human and fish blood into the ocean to observe sharks' reactions. The result was: sharks had little reaction to human blood, but a strong reaction to fish blood. This also leads to the conclusion that sharks don't react that strongly to human blood, at least not as exaggerated as in the movies."
"You must be curious why I didn't use a shark cage. Here I can tell you the reason: although those shark cages are made of metal, if a great white shark hits it with all its might, those shark cages you see in movies and TV shows simply can't withstand the impact. After all, a great white shark can reach a speed of about 40 kilometers per hour when swimming at full speed. Add to that their weight, and those shark cages can't withstand their impact. So I simply didn't use this thing! You should know that I used to be a diver, and almost all professional divers have dealt with sharks. We respect sharks, but we're not that afraid of them."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was stunned when they saw Xiao Peng lying on the back of the female great white shark and introducing the shark to them.
"Oh my god, my mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the video, and I called her over to kneel with me!"
"This is what we call a person of great skill and courage. He deserves to be rich. This kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can do!"
"I don't know about others, but I wouldn't take such a risk if I were as rich as him!"
"How can this be considered a risk? He's risking his life!"
"What the hell, what is he going to do?"
"Is he crazy?"
The reason why there was such amazement in the live broadcast room was because Xiao Peng did something that shocked everyone: he got off the shark and stood in front of another shark, facing the great white shark head-on, and made a boxer's move.
Xiao Peng explained, "You've probably heard the saying that if a great white shark attacks you, all you have to do is hit its nose. The shark's nose is very sensitive. I'm going to show you how ridiculous this is!"
In the live broadcast room, Xiao Peng was waving his fists like a puppet. It was all slow motion, and there was no way he could hit the shark at that speed. "As you can see, the water resistance is very strong. It is basically impossible to hit a shark in the water, especially on the nose. Don't doubt that my fists are powerless. I'm not exaggerating, no one can withstand a punch from me. But as you can see, my fists were useless. Forget about my fists. Let me put it this way, even if I gave you a gun, it would be useless."
Every word Xiao Peng said was the truth, but he didn't know that his words had caused him some trouble.
There's no first in literature, no second in martial arts. All martial artists share one thing in common: they absolutely refuse to submit to anyone else. When Xiao Peng said, "No one can withstand a single punch from him," there were certainly a lot of people who weren't convinced! Then, a group of people came to cause trouble for Xiao Peng, but that's all for later!
"Of course, some people say it's okay to punch a shark in the nose if it comes ashore, right?" Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up. "You're right! I applaud your intelligence! Today I'm going to livestream with you how I play and hunt with great white sharks, so that everyone can better understand this wonderful creature. Of course, I'm going to complain here. You know I've been abroad, and when foreigners mention China, they always mention two things: eating dogs and eating sharks. It seems like all the sharks in the world are gone because Chinese people eat shark fins! But what's the truth? Everyone in the livestream room said honestly: How many people have eaten shark fin? Only one in a hundred thousand? I haven't eaten it! Let me put it this way, the so-called 'Chinese people eating shark fins is causing sharks to become endangered' is a complete accusation against the Chinese!"
