After he fixed the structure, Ning Fei went to the trees, with the drone flying behind him.
Ning Fei pointed to several mushrooms as he explained, “Viewers, look over there. This is a wild glory mushroom. It’s edible and tastes sweet and tender.”
He plucked one out.
“This is a silk butterfly mushroom, and it’s packed with nutrients. I recommend everyone to try it.
“This is a green dream mushroom. As the name suggests, it will cause serious hallucinations when ingested. The victim will lose control of his or her body and sway uncontrollably. Every year, numerous victims get sent to the hospital for this.”
Ning Fei regaled the viewers with his knowledge as he plucked the edible ones.
When he returned to the fire, the water was already boiling.
He put the instant noodles inside and added the seasoning. He sliced the mushrooms and some canned meat, and then added some chili bits and cumin.
Everyone watched the livestream with their jaws slightly open.
‘This is practically a culinary outdoor show.’?
‘I’m hungry!’
‘Stop saying that. I’m sick of instant noodles, but I’m suddenly hungry after watching how the host has cooked his.’
‘Wow, truly a boss.’
The viewers clamored to comment.
Someone said that instant noodles were best eaten when cooked properly and that it also depended on the place.
In a deserted spot in the jungle, with a tent, a campfire, and a teapot boiling away while held up by pieces of wood…
This scene was peaceful and harmonious.
The water bubbled merrily and noisily as it splashed about.
The city dwellers all felt nature’s peace and quiet.
Many more viewers had joined the livestream.
Li Yu was one of them.
He was an office worker and led a busy lifestyle. He ended work at 9:00 p.m. every day.
Today, his manager had left early, so all his colleagues seemed to have gained their freedom. Everyone flew out of the office.
He was no exception.
For city dwellers, the time after work was truly what belonged to them.
Li Yu didn’t like games, and when he was bored, he would watch movies. In this bustling and hectic city, he didn’t even have the patience to watch TV shows, so he preferred livestreams.
Today, he clicked into Battling Birds Webcast Platform and wanted to check if there were any pretty ladies doing sexy dances.
The management officers were getting stricter these days, so there wasn’t any explicit stuff. The female webcasters could only skirt the lines occasionally, but that was enough for him.
At this time, he noticed a suggestion that popped up on his screen.
Light Breeze Temple Outdoor Expedition.
“Outdoor expedition?” Without hesitation, he clicked into it.
People were attracted to opposites. For city dwellers like him, they were attracted to the scenery in villages and outdoor sights. In a way, they were able to have a taste of an entirely different lifestyle.
On the screen, Li Yu saw that night had almost fallen. There was a vast stretch of land, and a young man sat in front of a tent. He was using a teapot to cook instant noodles.
The man was handsome.
The sight was pleasing to the eyes.
Li Yu was hooked.
“Interesting,” he muttered as he felt strangely refreshed.
The drone would shift its angle occasionally to take in different views.
For the best effects, Ning Fei navigated the drone, and it flew up to show a larger view.
The overlooking scenery from the top was real and exciting. The viewers could see Ning Fei clearly as he sat alone in the vast jungle. The teapot was boiling over the fire.
It was as though there was an island in the middle of an ocean.
‘So beautiful!’
‘This feeling is marvelous!’
‘Is this what nature looks like?’
‘It’s beautiful indeed.’
The viewers gasped with wonder.
When the noodles were ready, Ning Fei picked up the teapot and poured the soup and noodles into a plastic bowl.
When the viewers caught sight of the delicious-looking noodles, everyone gulped unconsciously.
Ning Fei had only eaten bread and dried meat for lunch. He was now getting hungry, and at the sight of the piping hot noodles, his appetite was whetted. He began to gobble the noodles.
Sometimes, a meal also depended on the mood and place.
Instant noodles were nothing fascinating. But when they were cooked in a chilly jungle, the bowl of hot noodles became something precious.
At this time, everyone in the webcast room had been transported to the spot where Ning Fei was.
As they watched Ning Fei eat, hunger began to strike everyone.
And Li Yu as well.
Suddenly, he became hungry and was craving instant noodles. But it had to be properly cooked.
Despite his laziness, he decided to use the stove that he hadn’t used in months. He took out a pot, but the next moment, he stowed it away. He found a teapot instead.
As he had a water dispenser at home, he hadn’t used a teapot in ages.
He put a packet of noodles inside.
He added seasonings and slices of ham.
When the water in the teapot began to gurgle noisily, his meal was ready.
He enjoyed it very much.
He wasn’t the only one.
Many who were watching Ning Fei’s webcast were suddenly hit with cravings.
“Instant noodles?” Xu Ya’s husband had requested it abruptly, and she was baffled. “Why do you want to eat that now?”
“I just want to eat that. You have to add ham!” her husband reminded her aloud.
“All right.” Xu Ya nodded.
Cooking instant noodles was so much easier, but she couldn’t fathom why her husband would suddenly crave that.
Jiang Feng, who had sworn off instant noodles after his first taste, was also craving for the taste again after watching Ning Fei’s livestream.
Ning Fei had a satisfying meal. He had finished every single drop of the soup too.
He put the teapot and utensils outside the tent.
“It isn’t easy to do the dishes unless I can find a river or stream. The first thing I have to do tomorrow is to find a stream. Otherwise, I will run out of drinking water soon,” Ning Fei spoke to the screen.
“Everyone, please enjoy the scenery. I’ll be back.”
Ning Fei ambled away from the frame.
The viewers sat upright at Ning Fei’s words.
‘Webcaster, what are you doing?’
‘Why did you leave?’
‘Is this a trick?’
‘I want to see you!’
‘Why did you leave?’
Everyone typed away frantically.
Unfortunately, he had a drone that possessed artificial intelligence.
The drone turned around and captured Ning Fei once again.
Ning Fei was standing with his back to the drone a distance away. He had placed both hands on a tree, and when the drone went slightly lower, it showed him doing something indescribable.
The viewers were speechless.
‘This…’
‘The first outdoor webcaster to pee during a livestream?’
Flower Cloud was watching too, and she blushed crimson. She instantly clicked on the option to block the screen.
‘Webcaster was caught flouting rules, and webcast shall be calibrated.’
These words appeared on the screen.
Management officers had the power and authority to stop the webcast. However, the viewers could still hear the sounds.
Flower Cloud was the only person who could watch Ning Fei’s livestream now.
The drone zoomed in on Ning Fei.
After Ning Fei had finished relieving himself and adjusted his pants, he turned to walk back.
At the sight, a blushing Flower Cloud cleared her throat before she resumed the webcast.
