Ning Fei first fed Little Falcon before he took out a can of dog food to feed Sunny.

He woke up even earlier today to tend to his vegetable garden.

After completing his chores, he locked the door and strode on the road towards the mountain.

On his way, he had to pass by Taishan village, where he met Uncle Wang’s and Uncle Li’s ducks. This time, it was Uncle Li’s ducks who waited.

‘Haha. These little ducks are waiting for their friends again.’

‘I’m new here. May I know what’s up with these ducks?’

‘A flock of ducks waiting for another flock of ducks to have fun.’

‘Hmmm…? This sounds weird… Two flocks of ducks… playing?’

‘Stabbing with swords in flocks?’

‘Stop that! I don’t want to visualize it!’

‘Let me off! This bus isn’t going to the kindergarten!’

All sorts of random comments appeared.

Ning Fei walked past the village and continued his way deep into a jungle.

The drone flew closely overhead.

“Dear viewers, I’m at the edge of the Taishan village. If I continue to walk in, we won’t be seeing people anymore.”

Ning Fei stopped by the road and announced casually to the screen, “The jungle is more dangerous, but I have lived here all my life, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, we will be heading to the edge of the jungle today. The real danger lies in the depths of the jungle, where the wild beasts roam.”

“Today, my mission is to pick wild lingzhi1, bamboo shoot, and other plants to earn some money,” Ning Fei spoke to his viewers.

As the saying went, the mountain dweller lived off the mountain. People who lived near a mountain would find some stuff to sell. And if lady luck was on their side, they could sometimes earn up to several thousand.

‘Host, are you going to search for ginseng?’ many asked.

‘Yeah. What type of plant is profitable?’

‘Are there a lot of ginseng? I also want to go.’

Ning Fei grinned as he explained, ‘I’m not looking for ginseng. This mountain is near the rivers. Ginseng is commonly found in the Northeast mountains. Over there, those who collect ginseng are named ‘Mountain Collectors’. Everyone, don’t belittle this. Before they do anything, they have to do some rituals to pay respects to the mountains. It would take a minimum of a dozen days to months for this process. These collectors would have to gather a great amount of necessities and prepare their equipment. The collectors will travel in a row and would be three meters apart from each other. They would then look out for ginseng in that manner. The first person to discover ginseng is named, ‘Eyeopener’. And if they do so, they have to yell something specific.”

As Ning Fei explained, his viewers unconsciously fell into a trance.

They realized that Ning Fei was very knowledgeable and could narrate clearly.

‘Host, you’re knowledgeable and very detailed,’ someone with a shiny golden VIP account commented.

For Battling Birds Webcast Platform, those who were waiting to fork out sums of money would be given exclusive treatment.

This person’s name was “Master Jiang”. His appearance caused a commotion.

‘Oh my gosh. It’s Master Jiang! He’s here!’

‘Master Jiang? Who is he?’

‘You don’t know him? He is the young master of Vessel Medicine Pharmacy. He is Jiang Feng, Jiang Cheng’s son!’

‘Vessel Medicine Pharmacy? The biggest traditional medicine chain in China?’

‘Yes, it’s him! It’s rumored they are worth dozens of billions. He is a true big shot!

‘Wow, so impressive!’

All the supporters had a heated discussion.

Ning Fei hadn’t noticed anything as he was focused on the mountain.

The biggest difference between Ning Fei’s webcast and the others was that the drone could give the audience a third party’s viewpoint. It allowed them to have a real-time and full view of Ning Fei’s current situation.

This brand new way of livestreaming was indeed favorable.

“Today, I am collecting lingzhi. This will depend on my luck as it’s not easy to find,” Ning Fei added.

“Lingzhi is also named the ‘divine medicinal herb’ or even ‘magical grass’. It has a good deal of medicinal properties. It mainly lives near the roots of decaying trees, so if you want to collect lingzhi, you have to find a spot where a lot of trees are gathered near each other.”

Ning Fei strode ahead as he talked.
