Chapter 443: Chapter 441: Rainforest, let’s go! (Extra for the alliance leader)
“The crux of rock climbing lies in the stability of your center of gravity, you must always remember the three-point principle, ensuring that each of your footholds is secure before continuously transitioning. Even the most skilled climbers need to adhere to this iron rule,”
In front of the rock-climbing wall, Étienne, fully geared up, listened to the words of the coach beside him.
The instructors also arrived successively, just waiting for the day of opening to welcome customers. Since they were all special forces veterans, an ironclad atmosphere seemed to pervade the entire venue, creating a sense of reliability.
No country’s soldiers are more reliable than those of Huaxia.
Therefore, even with high compensation, Yao Jun and others felt it was worth it.
At this time, Bi Fang was sitting on the side, flipping through the wildlife protection manual, carefully identifying the appearance and characteristics of each protected animal depicted.
Bi Fang recognized many of them, but there was still a large part that was unfamiliar to him.
This booklet, provided by the Xishuangbanna Reserve, was as thick as a dictionary, with full authority.
The conservation area staff who provided the booklet told him that if Bi Fang found a rare creature in the wild that was not in the booklet and he had never seen before,
he shouldn’t doubt it, it most definitely could be a brand new species that had not been discovered. He should quickly note it down and register it upon return.
There was nothing strange about this, as humans have always been committed to discovering and describing the diversity of Earth’s species over the centuries.
It was only in modern times that Earth was believed to be home to nearly 10 million (10 to the power of 7) species. Moreover, almost all of them are visible to the naked eye.
Including microorganisms, there could be 1 trillion (10 to the power of 12) species on Earth. The species discovered by humans over the millennia only account for one ten-thousandth of all species on Earth.
Every year, nearly 20,000 new species of plants and animals are discovered, with 2,400 from within the country last year alone, accounting for one-tenth of the new species discovered globally.
Buzzzzz.
Bi Fang’s phone rang once more; it was the manager of the reserve, Zhou Weisheng.
“Mr. Bi, are you really sure you want to come to our reserve to live stream?” Zhou Weisheng’s voice was a bit tense.
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind. Don’t worry, Director Zhou, unless it’s absolutely unavoidable, I won’t casually harm the plants and animals, and I’ll maintain the surroundings as much as possible to minimize the impact.”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I mean,” Zhou Weisheng was nervous, fearing a misunderstanding that might result in a cancellation.
In fact, when Liu Qian called yesterday to say that Bi Fang was coming here to live stream, Zhou Weisheng was somewhat stunned, then ecstatic.
It felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.
A good thing, a very good thing!
With Bi Fang’s soaring fame and global recognition, almost all the places he had live-streamed from saw a surge in popularity!
Without going far, just the domestic sites such as Qinling, Mohe, and Qaidam had seen a definite increase in tourism revenue!
And the trend hadn’t declined but was rising even more.
It was like getting a lifetime’s worth of benefits from a single visit!
Because Bi Fang’s videos were there, and his fame continued to grow, more and more people watched his videos, and more and more knew about the scenic spots.
Even a minor celebrity’s visit to a small place could generate a surge in traffic, let alone someone like Bi Fang who had a massive fan base worldwide.
Moreover, the footage shot by Bi Fang was simply too beautiful.
The drone’s image quality was lossless, and with the AI shooting provided by the System, almost every frame could be used as wallpaper.
With the legendary allure present in every video, nearly every person who longed to travel wanted to see and witness the birthplace of those miracles with their own eyes.
“If it was any other variety show filming in the rainforest, I’d definitely hesitate, but if it’s Master Fang, that’s an entirely different story!” Zhou Weisheng, a man in his forties, felt no discord calling him Master Fang.
Zhou Weisheng truly meant what he said from the depths of his heart.
With other variety shows, he would be grateful if they just didn’t disturb the protected wildlife, reduced their environmental footprint, avoided eating protected animals and plants, and left less trash behind.
What’s more exaggerated is the ease with which accidents could occur, leaving him with a bitter taste in his mouth, unable to express his woes, and necessitating organized protection teams.
This was especially true for the rainforest, teeming with mimetic flora and fauna. One careless bite, and if rescue was delayed, one might just collapse on the spot.
Don’t think it’s an exaggeration; these are real bloody cases. That bunch, they don’t understand anything, just recklessly charging about, and it’s already this dangerous on the outskirts, not to mention deeper into the rainforest.
But with Bi Fang involved, it was different. He brought immense traffic, understood environmental protection, and consciously reduced his traces to nearly none. Best of all, there was no need to worry about mishaps.
Who could understand the wilderness better than Bi Fang?
Although Bi Fang had not live-streamed from the rainforest up to this point, his prior performances were enough to inspire confidence.
Agreeing was all that remained!
That’s why Zhou Weisheng was so delighted. Usually, he couldn’t even beg for such an opportunity, but unexpectedly, it came without asking!
He could just sit in his office, happily sign off on paperwork, and bring significant earnings to the reserve. How wonderful was that?
Bi Fang understood the implications in the other party’s tone and laughed, “Don’t worry, Director Zhou. At nine o’clock in the morning on the first of June, I’ll start the live stream. It should also drum up some enthusiasm for my club.”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent.” Zhou Weisheng said thrice, then inquired, “I wonder how Mr. Bi plans to enter the rainforest. Do we need to make any preparations?”
“Hmm, reserve a civilian helicopter for me. I’ll be parachuting directly into the deep rainforest,” Bi Fang thought for a moment. According to what Liu Qian had said, Xishuangbanna did offer this service – enjoying the rainforest via helicopter.
Parachuting in was also the most convenient and quickest way to reach the deeper parts of the rainforest.
“No problem, I will surely reserve one for you,” Zhou Weisheng agreed immediately. It was a small matter; how much could a day’s helicopter rental cost?
“Any other requests?”
“Hmm, prepare a changing room for me?”
Bi Fang thought, he obviously could not be naked all the time, and stripping down upon arriving at the rainforest wouldn’t be appropriate either.
“A changing room?” Zhou Weisheng was taken aback.
“Yes, this live stream will be a bit different. I won’t be wearing clothes,” Bi Fang paused, and to prevent the other party from regarding him as some perverted fanatic, he added, “Of course, I’ll wear privacy garments.”
Zhou Weisheng pondered for a moment, guessing the reason, their phone dropping onto their leg in shock.
“Are you going for a truly primitive survival experience?”
Two days later.
Wolf Fang’s official account posted a brand-new poster.
It depicted a forest that blotted out the sky, different from Qinling, a denser, more crowded wilderness.
There was no sunlight, only quiet darkness.
In the center of the forest, Bi Fang, his face painted with bold, dark colors, was dressed in plant skirtings and headgear resembling an Indian from the last century, holding an iron-tipped spear, walking into the black depths of the mysterious woods.
