The First Night in the Wild

The aurora had many shapes. The ones that the audience was seeing through the camera now were mostly strip-shaped, tape-shaped, umbrella-shaped, fan-shaped, piece-shaped, gourd-shaped, spindle-shaped, cylinder-shaped and ball-shaped.

A colored light traversed the sky and connected the sky and the earth. It filled the emptiness between the sky and the earth. A variety of colors – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet were connecting to each other, they were clear and obvious.

The auroras raised and faded. They changed magically in between. They were colorful and beautiful.

Chen B-Dog said emotionally, "It is really beautiful. The aurora will appear all year round, but in China, you can only see it at the Mohe River. Besides, it is more likely to see it during the period of 9 days before or after the Summer Solstice. I guess no one expected that we can see the aurora at DXAL deep in the forest. It is indeed a gift from the nature to bless us with this rare phenomenon.

"Together with the final music and beautiful view of aurora, I am going to end today’s live broadcast. I will stay alert even when I sleep. However, I predict nothing will happen tonight. If there are any emergency cases, I will live broadcast it. Goodnight, everyone. Go to bed early and wake up early. I will see you again tomorrow morning!"

"Don’t go."

"Please don’t go. Just continue switching it on. We will be watching while you are sleeping."

"I would like to continue watching the aurora and play the song "An Ordinary Path" on a loop."

Chen B-Dog did not listen to those suggestions, "Regardless of the beautiful view or the live broadcasts, it becomes valuable if you admire it bit by bit slowly. It is very weird to sleep under surveillance of a few million people. It feels like the guarding of a coffin at a funeral. All right, you can see me sleep, then you guys say goodnight to me together. Is that okay?"

He moved the fire to the place near to the tent. A few red-hot charcoal balls could provide him the basic heat he needed. They could guarantee him not to freeze at night. He took off the coat which he had been wearing for a whole day and dug himself into the sleeping bag. Then he used the coat to cover his body and used the wolf skin and rabbit skin as the pillow.

He took a long breath and his expression and eyebrows relaxed, enjoying it and deeply intoxicated. There was nothing could that be complained about the quality of the sleeping bag which was provided by the system. In an instant, the sleeping bag had become warm. Facing the pop-up comments which were full of the message of "goodnight", B-Dog closed his eyes after saying "goodbye". The screen of the live broadcast room then became dark in a minute.

He fell asleep. His family, who was watching his live broadcast till late night at his hometown ErBei, was getting more worried about him. His mother could not stop nagging, "This child! I cannot get through the phone. It is so dangerous to stay outside at this hour."

His sister was trying to persuade his mother, "I think brother did not bring his cellphone. Now we have to wait until tomorrow morning. Rest assured, mom. My brother is so excellent, nothing could happen to him. I will wake up early tomorrow to check it out. If there is anything, I will let you know."

His mother sighed, "That’s all we can do."

However, the audiences in the live broadcast room were chatting happily and did not want to leave the room. They were watching the pop-up comments. Someone noticed that Chen B-Dog had updated his Weibo and shouted to inform the others. The homeless million-army immediately charged into his Weibo and returned to the battlefield.

Then, the song "An Ordinary Path" was crazily played and downloaded by the audience numerous times. It created the strongest record ever since Music Cloud was established. It was played for one million times in less than one hour’s time and downloaded for more than 400 thousand times. It became the champion of the list in the twinkling of an eye.

Many people were shocked by this moment. Even the backend of Music Cloud platform had started its emergency investigation to check what was happening. They were worried about someone creating fake data. However, the result was surprising, "A very nice song. It seems to be the original creation of an anchor and got famous over a night!"

Even the female anchors, who were singing at different platforms, were implicated by this. There was a period of time where the netizens would definitely request them to sing "An Ordinary Path" while they were live broadcasting. Even the gaming anchors were asked to sing this song. What a great sensation!

This is another story; we shall not talk about it now.

Everything about today’s live broadcast continued brewing. Every amazing moment experienced in the live broadcast such as incredible hunting, the battle between human and wolf, the escape from the bear’s claws, the wonderful knife skill, the aurora, an ordinary path, were recorded by the netizens and made into small videos. They were now crazily sharing it over the internet. The energy was accumulating now, and waiting the moment of final explosion.

...

Next morning, location: DXAL deep forest.

Chen B-Dog had a good sleep. He checked the time; it was 7.30am, pretty late already. He had a hard time leaving the warm sleeping bag. It was indeed the product of the system. In the jungle of negative temperature, he could sleep tightly and comfortably.

He rubbed his eyes and did not find any crust in his eyes. Then he started the live broadcast.

The live broadcast had just started and there were few hundred thousands of people rushing into the room. And many more people were coming in. "Good morning, Lord B-Dog.", "What was yesterday night’s temperature? And you didn’t freeze to death.", "Wake up, Lord B-Dog. Don’t be a lazy dead body lying in the sleeping bag."…

Chen B-Dog laughed dryly and took the coat away from the sleeping bag. Then he came out from the sleeping bed and greeted, "Good morning, everyone. You guys woke up so early."

Guan Qi replied, "One should say I never sleep. I have been listening to "An Ordinary Path" the whole night.", Chen C-Dog said, "I am watching from my bed. I set the alarm and thank god I caught you.", Purple Gold Supreme God, "I am new here. Why the anchor is sleeping on the snow? There are few hundred thousands of people at here early morning. It is too unscientific." Laughing Sigh Human, "Haha, new joiner, you are outdated. It will be few million people soon."…

Chen B-Dog walked out from the sleeping bag and realized that his body temperature had dropped suddenly. He found out there were still some burning charcoal balls in the bonfire, thus added some wood sticks to start the fire and boil some water as usual.

"Friends, today’s weather is good. It is less windy now. It will be good for my next activity."

"Frankly speaking, I did not expect to sleep comfortably on the first night in the wild. Seriously, I am also eating well. The charcoal fire provides me with heat the whole night. At night, I listened to the wolves howling and deer crying. In the morning, there are all kinds of birds to wake me up. I feel very relaxed. It gives me an illusion that I returned to the past and lead a carefree life. I am also regaining the feeling of shyness and simplicity at the beginning. Unexpectedly, I found peace in the wild."

Chen B-Dog smiled and stretched himself, "Exercise in the morning is to wake up the body which has been resting at the whole night. Else, it is common to have insufficient of blood in the frozen forest. My hardworking friends, I would suggest you exercise first, just like me, before you eat your breakfast."

While talking, he started his own exercise which was performing the fist!

The Eight Extreme Fist was awesome and exercised a combination of inflexibility and yielding. The movements were natural and unrestrained. It was enjoyable to watch it.

All kinds of tricks and skills emerged in an endless stream. On the snow land, he practiced the Eight Extreme Fist perfectly without constraint while punching out. When he used the skill of "Step on Snow without Trace", he was like a spirit on the snow. It was just like the professional Kungfu master in the Wuxia novels.

From time to time, there were the sounds of wind breaking and the explosive sound from his fist. He punched a tree trunk and, "boooom", a loud, muffled sound was heard. The snow flew down everywhere.

It looked even more fantastic now. The wind and snow were stirred hard by his inner strength. He danced in the air and it increased his momentum of practicing the fist.

Finally he returned to original position. At this moment, the ground under his feet was empty. The snow, with him as the center, had a standard circle shape.

"Ahhhhh, I am going crazy. Lord B-Dog, don’t be so active early in the morning."

"You are so macho! So excited! I am going to pee."

"Lord B-Dog definitely is an expert in Wulin. He plays the Eight Extreme Fist better than those masters."

"Why will you have to put special effects while performing the fist? Did the props team arrange for the circle on the ground?"

"It is too unscientific."
