Ning Fei glanced at the webcast room and saw that everyone was still talking about the cuckoo.
He explained, “Dear viewers, the animal world is cruel. So we can’t simply take the viewpoint of the weak only. We also can’t use the morals of a human to pass judgment on an animal’s nature or behavior.
“Let me pose an example. Everyone knows zebras right? Zebras are gentle herbivores that end up as prey for the carnivores. Everyone would think that they are victims.
“In reality, zebras have another side that you don’t know about. For instance, if a herd of zebras were to change their male leader, the male zebras would kick their former leader’s foal to death in order to please the new leader.
“And they might even invite the new leader to kick the child as well. I’ve watched a documentary before where a female zebra viciously and brutally kicked a baby zebra on the ground with both its hooves. Her chest and hooves were covered with her own child’s blood, while the male zebra stood coldly beside it.
“This is what a zebra with a gentle temperament has to do in order to survive. All I hope is for everyone to understand that nature has its own set of laws. Human emotions and morals might not be suitable as it would disrupt the rules of nature,” Ning Fei concluded quietly.
He felt that he had made his stand clear.
The viewers fell silent as they mulled over his words.
‘Is that true? Would a zebra really kick its own child to death?’
‘Nature is indeed crueler than we can imagine.’
‘Host, you are really knowledgeable.’
‘This is the first time I’ve come across such a cultured and refined webcaster. I love you!’
‘Yeah! Most outdoor webcasters are loud and rough. This webcaster is a gem.’
Ning Fei knew that he had to get busy. After all, he had to fulfill the mission set by the System.
He had to have 200,000 viewers!
This figure might not be achievable even for an experienced webcaster of three to five years. Of course, it also had to do with the content of the webcast. If the webcast was indeed exciting enough, the webcaster would be able to accumulate his or her popularity.
At this time, Ning Fei had prepared four watermelons on the table.
At the sight of this, the viewers were all perplexed.
What was the webcaster doing?
He had just saved a bird, and now, he had brought out four watermelons for no reason.
“Viewers, yesterday, I promised everyone that I would perform my cutting skills. Today, I shall fulfill my promise,” Ning Fei spoke to his viewers with a smile.
‘Cutting skills?’
‘This webcaster knows how to perform?’
‘Is he serious? What skill is he doing with a knife?’
‘Hahaha. I want to watch.’
The viewers all cheered him on.
Ning Fei didn’t explain a word and merely took out a set of knives. He placed them next to the watermelons and began to arrange them. He also brought out a complete set of knives, ranging from big to small sizes.
With his newly obtained ultimate skill of cutting, Ning Fei discovered that every move he executed was smooth and easy. He could control with precision every cut he made.
As Ning Fei carved, the viewers began to complain.
During this livestream, all they saw was Ning Fei’s knife poking and cutting the watermelon randomly. They had yet to see any changes.
‘What is the webcaster doing?’
‘Isn’t he supposed to flaunt his skill? Why hasn’t anything happened?’
‘Scam!’
‘Is he poking the watermelon?’
The viewers began to jeer.
However, no one would be able to understand or see the piece of art until the last minute.
Ning Fei’s brilliant skill had allowed the watermelon skin to drop as an entire piece as he carved.
And only when he removed the skin would the viewers be able to see the carved art piece.
