Chapter 19: South Chinese Tiger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Sweetie Pea entered the stream, what she saw was a man carrying a wild boar on his shoulder, walking towards the sunset. She dared not believe what her eyes saw.

“What the heck? What am I looking at? Is that a boar on the guy’s shoulder? How did he do it?”

Sweetie Pea was shocked when she saw the stream, and so were the few hundred thousand viewers.

“Holy sh*t! Is he human? How can he move such a huge boar?”

“My mom asked me why I was kneeling in front of the stream. I think if you don’t have some super talent or whatever nowadays, you can’t stream.”

“Judging from the scenery, are you streaming from the mountains?”

“666666! It makes me wanna go have a look!”

At the same time, Su Yu’s Popularity was a few viewers shy of 400,000.

With Sweetie Pea on the stream, it helped his stream became even more famous. He might even hit 500,000 within the day. In fact, it was very possible for him to hit 1 million by the end of the day.

Meanwhile, in the mountains, Su Yu had carried the wild boar for quite some distance now.

Whenever he got tired, he would pause and have a sip of spiritual water which would regenerate his stamina and expel his exhaustion.

Along the way, Little White even found a few more ginseng.

Wild ginseng was usually difficult to find, but with Little White around, they were all exposed as though they were vegetables on sale in the supermarket.

No one knew how Little White did it, but if there were any wild ginseng within 500 meters, he would be able to sense it.

Along the way, Su Yu got a total of five wild ginseng—another buck in the pocket for him.

After walking for a while, he noticed that he was getting closer to the village. He looked up at the sky. Judging from his speed, he might be able to get back to the village by dark.

Right before he continued on his journey, he heard the barks of a dog further away.

Then, a big brown dog came out from the side and blocked Su Yu’s path. Before he could clearly see what happened, another figure appeared behind the dog, chasing it fiercely.

When the second figure got close enough, Su Yu finally got a good look at what was chasing the dog.

The animal was huge with a round head and black and yellow stripes on its body. There was a striped pattern on its forehead that resembled the Chinese character of ‘king’.

It was a tiger; the features made it obvious enough to recognize. The tiger had chased the dog for a while now.

Su Yu did not expect to run into a wild tiger in the mountains behind his village.

The stream reached its climax with the appearance of the tiger.

“Holy sh*t! A tiger!”

“Where are you, Su Yu? Why are there wild tigers around?! Are you kidding me?!”

“Run! Why are you not running? Are you waiting to be eaten?”

“Master Su is really unlucky! He killed a boar but ran into a tiger? How unlucky can he be now?”

“Master Su says: I’m just walking with my boar. Am I going to be robbed by a tiger?”

“This is over! A tiger is a terrifying predator! Master Su is done for!”

Jun Moxiao typed, “The tiger looks like a South Chinese tiger. Is it a real South Chinese tiger? Holy sh*t!”

“A South Chinese tiger? Boss Jun is right! I thought all South Chinese tigers in the country are extinct though.”

“That’s what they say, but the country is huge. Who could have searched every corner of it? There’s obviously one beside Master Su now. Similar to the legendary panda, it’s protected by the country, and if you kill one, you will certainly end up behind bars for your life.”

“Yeah! The South Chinese tiger isn’t a wild boar. It’s not something you can simply kill.”

The viewers on Su Yu’s stream were having a heated discussion about the tiger.

…

Meanwhile, in a research lab in Pang City, a guy was watching the stream through his phone.

When he saw the tiger on the stream, he bolted up in excitement.

“A South Chinese tiger? A real South Chinese tiger?! A wild one?!”

The guy was a research intern at the National Feline Research Lab. He had a research topic about searching for living wild South Chinese tigers in the country.

The South Chinese tiger was unique to China and was also known as the Chinese tiger. The tigers were usually spread out throughout the province in the country, but due to the endless hunting of the tigers in the early 50s to late 60s, the number of tigers had decreased harshly.

They had been searching for a few years without results now and were on the verge of giving up.

The guy did not think that he would find a wild one in the mountains while watching someone’s stream during his break.

Thrilled, he saved the link of the stream and quickly sent it to the professor of the research lab.

Professor Wang Lin was a South Chinese tiger expert who specialized in researching the big cat. He was on leave today, so he was not in the lab. 

Just when he was about to have dinner, he saw his student send him a link.

“Sir, hurry up and watch the stream! A wild South Chinese tiger has been spotted in the mountains!”

The moment Professor Wang Lin saw the message, he bolted up in excitement and ditched dinner right away.

He tapped on the stream and went into Su Yu’s room as his eyes lit up in excitement.

It was a real South Chinese tiger which was definitely a big discovery.

However, the streamer looked like he was in a pinch because he had run into a wild tiger in the mountains alone.

He was unlucky, to say the least. Even the professor started to feel bad for Su Yu.

The viewers on the stream started to come up with all kinds of ideas to help Su Yu get out of danger.

“Bro, why don’t you play dead by lying down!? Maybe the tiger will spare you!”

“Playing dead is the lousiest way! Didn’t you read the news? Someone played dead in front of a bear and got his head slapped off by the angry bear.”

“Master Su is great at climbing trees. Can a tiger climb trees? Why don’t you try it again?”

“Stop with the lousy stories. They are all lies. Tigers can climb a tree. Their hind legs are strong enough to support their weight. It’s just that most of the time, the tiger chooses not to climb it.”

“I think you’d better run before the tiger notices you.”

…

It was not that he wanted to stay, but he had a big wild boar on his shoulder.

If he was alone, he would have already been gone, but with a boar on his shoulder, it would be too late for him to flee.

The tiger had noticed Su Yu.

Originally, the tiger was chasing the dog as a snack before dinner. It did not expect to run into a human along the way.

Most importantly, the human had a boar on his shoulder! A large wild boar! The tiger’s favorite!

The tiger would be having a feast tonight.

It roared at Su Yu. 

Since it ran into a human with a wild boar, no one could leave. Everything and everyone must stay as dinner.

The tiger had its eyes on Su Yu and was slowly approaching him.

More than 100,000 viewers in Su Yu’s stream had their hearts gripped in fear as the tiger approached him slowly.

Su Yu’s heart was actually pounding when he looked at the tiger. Even though he had just killed a wild boar, he had to face a tiger now, and it was an animal protected by the country.

If he tried to shoot the tiger with his arrow like how he did with the wild boar, he would definitely end up in jail. Therefore, the bow and arrow were out of the question.

However, Su Yu did not want to simply give away the wild boar that he had hunted to the tiger.

With all his options considered, he called up the Popularity Shop and had his eyes on a certain item.

“Super-strength Talisman!”
