Chen B-Dog’s face turned green. “This black fungus is not what you think it is. I am still a virgin so I do not like those kinds of black fungus. However, this plant is not the same. It is my favorite. Black fungus is also known as the black vegetable, Jew’s ear, Ben fungus, wood ear, wood moth, and wood velvet. It gets its name due to its ear shape and its color – black. It is a type of fungus. According to Chinese physicians, it is neutral in nature and sweet, good for stomach and large intestine. It is nutritious and helps to moisturize, nourish the blood, reinforce the stomach, regulate the blood flow, stanch the bleeding, moistens the lungs and intestines.”

“Do not underestimate it. The protein content of the black fungus is more than animal products, it has the good fame as being called “The Meat of the Vegetables”. Anyway, please be alerted that the black fungus itself is non-toxic but after some time, it will turn bad and produce a biotoxin. It could also cause the breeding of bacteria, fungus, and other pathogenic microorganisms. The symptoms are similar to eating poisonous mushrooms, it will cause the acute hepatic and renal failure. Hence, if you are buying black fungus, do not soak it for too long.”

“Lord B-Dog, are you an encyclopedia? Why do you know everything?”, “It is true, I have just searched Google, what Lord B-Dog said is true.”, “Wonderful, Lord B-Dog, you teach us a lot.” … “Lord B-Dog, let’s have private chat, I will help you. If you have time and need to sleep, we can take a look at photos first.”, “Go away, black fungus. Lord B-Dog is mine!”, “Mister Dreamboat, I don’t love you anymore, I am falling in love with Lord B-Dog, what I should do!” …

Seeing the pop-up comments in front of him, B-Dog felt relieved. Anyway, sometimes there were some dirty-minded topics which were not presentable, B-Dog would choose to ignore them. Walking a few steps into the thorn forest, he made new discovery again. He stopped in front of the dry wood, “Does anyone know what this is?”

Somebody answered him “thorn forest” while the majority said “no idea”. There was only a minority that typed Sichuan Pepper.

B-Dog cut the crap and introduced it, “This is the wild Sichuan Pepper! I am really lucky to find it here. This plant is normally suited to grow in warm, humid and fertile soil. However, it can tolerate coldness and dryness. It is fond of sunshine, has a strong resistance to diseases, and its kryptoblast has a long lifespan.”

“Sichuan Pepper can be used as Chinese medicine. It helps to warm the body and smooth the breath, eliminate coldness, stop the pain, and also disinfect. Besides, it cures chills and pains in the abdomen, vomiting, diarrhea, blood flukes, roundworms, and other illness. It is also a good food seasoning.”

He was speaking endlessly and repeatedly but never forgetting to pluck the Sichuan Pepper that was perfectly attached to the tree.

This was the professionalism developed from his one-month broadcasting activities.

He was able to talk fluently nowadays. You could not tell he was dull and boring. He hardly spoke previously but since he started broadcasting, the environment had forced him to keep talking and talking non-stop. After some time, he felt that he had become more cheerful. Sometimes he would wonder, perhaps he was born to be a potential nagging candidate.

He was fortunate to have the audiences who never disliked him being talkative. In contrast, the audiences were impressed that B-Dog had continuously discovered “Amazing Delicacies” and he seemed to know everything and willing to explain it.

There was a lot of harvest but B-Dog was not satisfied.

According to what he knew, there must be more ginsengs nearby. Since he could not find it here, he changed the direction and continued searching for it. His hard work was paid off. He dug up some dried leaves and discovered two ginsengs. Surprised, he shouted, “Found it!”

Everyone was in doubt as to why he was quiet for so long and merely focusing on searching. The shout came so suddenly that it shocked those who had set their speakers on high. Looking at the camera, surprisingly, it was ginseng again. Although it was not as special as the first ginseng, this one was a big size as well. One of it had three leaves and another had four leaves. Total weight should be few hundred grams. B-Dog was extremely delighted.

The atmosphere in the broadcast room was lively once again. All kinds of rewards were sent to him crazily.

“Laughing Sighing Human sends one Lobster to Chen B-Dog.”

“Hello Grandpa sends 10 times of 666 Bamboos to anchor.”

…

Under the observation of 1.8 million audiences, he dug it out carefully. At last, he felt satisfied and prepared to continue his journey.

At this time, a wild beast roar resounded from the dim jungle not far away.

“Roar~~~~~!”

Fierce, desolate, cruel, bloodthirsty… The recording sound effect was extremely good. The roaring had cooled down the temperature of the broadcast room. It seemed like all audiences were shocked by the roaring. It was absolutely terrifying.

B-Dog’s face turned serious. He could feel the goosebumps over his body and started to walk faster immediately.

After few seconds, there were thousands of pop-up comments appearing at the same time, causing the broadcast room to lag for few seconds.

“Holy sh*t, I was so scared I peed!”

“Faster run, Lord B-Dog, it sounds like a tiger’s roar!”

“Come back, Lord B-Dog. Do not get yourself killed for the sake of earning money and popularity.”

“It could be bears. That place is near to Russia, the bears always roam there.

“I think anchor cannot live until tomorrow.”

…

B-Dog had no mood to check the pop-up comments. He smelled the air and said, “I can smell the blood. This is deep in the jungle and there was heavy snow yesterday which blocked the entrance of the mountain. The wild animals have to come out to hunt. I have to say, this is a thrilling journey.”

“This is life, ups and downs are normal. To survive under adverse situations, you need to have good mental strength. Always stay calm, make the correct judgment at the right timing and most importantly, put it into practice. Humans have tremendous energy and are able to cope with the difficult conditions and challenge the ultimate environment. Every moment is full of surprises and accompanied by dangers. Isn’t this the charm of the wild?”

After learning all kinds of wild hunting and surviving knowledge, B-Dog was getting calmer and steadier. He explained to the audiences with wisdom and it helped to comfort them. Plenty of positive energy defeated the wicked. The pop-up comments page was full with “Amazing”, “Bravo” and “Unbelievable”.

Back to his journey, B-Dog stayed more alert. His eyes looked sharp like the eagle, his nostrils dilated. He enhanced his hunting skill to the maximum, anticipating the incoming danger and avoided the beasts which were lurking at side with the sharp claws. Anyway, his body was quite relaxed so he communicated with the audiences, “I am not frightening you on purpose. This place looks primitive, the probability for the beast to appear and attack suddenly is pretty high. The roaring just now is exactly the roaring of the animal which is hunting. But with the sound alone, I am uncertain to judge whether it is a bear or a tiger.”

“I need to search for more ingredients now. Ginseng and Sichuan pepper alone are not enough to replenish energy. As a gourmet with high requirements and a man who aims to be the wild god of gourmets, I will never allow such unpleasant thing.”

“It is time to show you the real skill. I will track the animal with clues, then run after it and kill it. It would be a sumptuous lunch.”

Naturally, the audience refused to believe, “I am watching you pretending to act cool secretly.”

“Eat some snow, fill the stomach.”

“If you dare to eat the ginseng, I will castrate you! Wait to starve!”

B-Dog looked at the pop-up comments from time to time. He smiled and continued his storytelling. “I am not exaggerating, if I were to be left in such a resourceful jungle, I might be torn by the tiger but never starve.”
