Chapter 395: Doing a Ten-Pull, It Really Turned Into a Vacation

The next day.

Last night's light rain came and went quickly. By morning, the rain had completely stopped.

Looking out, the entire Tropical Rainforest looked as if it had been washed clean.

Ning Fei stretched his body a few times and felt completely refreshed.

His chosen spot was perfectly suited for making camp. It was an open clearing, free of surrounding trees, nestled beside a small river with relatively few animals passing through.

Using some stones, Ning Fei built a simple stove. He then drew a pot of water, brought it to a boil, and let it cool, waiting until it was comfortably warm before drinking.

People from Huaxia liked drinking warm water—it was an old tradition.

Generally, people disliked drinking cold or unboiled water. They only drank cold water to cool down when the weather grew exceptionally hot.

"I'll take a walk through the forest today. Let's see if there's anything good to eat or any unique animals around."

"I hope the Tropical Rainforest won't let me down."

Fresh-faced and invigorated after washing up, Ning Fei set off toward the depths of the Tropical Rainforest.

Viewers had pulled up the livestream bright and early, waiting eagerly.

"Temple Master Ning is finally heading deeper into the forest."

"Looking forward to it!"

"There are venomous snakes and fierce beasts everywhere in there. Temple Master Ning better be careful."

"Yeah, the mosquito bites alone are unbearable. The toxic mosquitoes in the Tropical Rainforest can literally bite a person to death. You can imagine how terrifying they are."

At that moment, Ning Fei thought of something too.

He checked the System and noticed his Popularity Points had soared—he had more than enough for twenty Diamond Draws.

Without hesitation, Ning Fei opted for a Ten-Pull.

"Ding! The host has chosen a Diamond Draw Ten-Pull. Drawing..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the items:"

"Body Strengthening Pill (Top Grade) * 5: Greatly improves physical attributes, maximum limit 100."

"Avian Feed (Top Grade) * 5: Greatly improves the physical quality of avians, slightly increases intelligence."

"Beast Feed (Top Grade) * 5: Greatly improves the physical quality of beasts, slightly increases intelligence."

"Clear Breeze Pearl * 1: A pearl that can bring cool breezes to a room, size adjustable."

"Jade Nectar * 1: A sweet-tasting beautiful wine. Rumor has it that it is the immortal wine used to entertain the immortals at the Flat Peach Banquet. Can slightly expel impurities from the body."

"Articuno Fruit * 1: A relatively sweet and clear ice fruit that can improve the host's heat resistance."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining items:"

"Plant Manipulation Card: The host can perform simple attacks by manipulating plants."

"Clear Water Filtration Card: Can turn water within a certain range into clean water."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining skills:"

"Danger Perception: Enhances the host's perception and allows potential danger to be sensed in advance."

"Sun Protection Barrier: Enhances sun protection capability, allowing the host's skin to remain at a healthy skin tone."

"Insect Barrier: Makes the host immune to bites from mosquitoes, venomous bees, and similar creatures."

A series of prizes burst forth in a flash of golden light within Ning Fei's mind.

'Good lord!'

Ning Fei marveled inwardly.

Not to mention anything else, judging by its effects, this Clear Breeze Pearl was practically a portable air conditioner.

It could bring a cool breeze into a room and its intensity was adjustable—if that wasn't an air conditioner, what was?

Bringing an air conditioner to the Tropical Rainforest... if anyone else found out, their jaws would drop in shock.

It looked like his life over the next month was going to be far more comfortable than expected.

Then there were the three skills.

Ning Fei stared at the skills, falling into a brief moment of thought.

A strange feeling came over him—it felt like the System was taking special care of him.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling.

For instance, he was currently exploring the Tropical Rainforest. Given the harsh environment, suffering a little hardship was definitely unavoidable.

And yet, he'd just received bug protection, sun protection, and Danger Perception.

Covered on all fronts, this really had turned into a vacation.

'System, these skills from the draw are looking after me a bit too well, aren't they?'

'Have there been other hosts before? Were they taken care of like this too?'

Ning Fei asked silently.

The System remained silent for a moment before replying:

"The System will provide corresponding reward items based on the host's environment."

"Other questions cannot be answered."

Hearing the System's response, Ning Fei smacked his lips and simply added another thought in his mind:

'Right now, I feel like you're playing the role of my bodyguard. Like in ancient times when a young master went out, the elders of the family would arrange for a bodyguard to look after him.'

'Oh right, System, I haven't asked this before, but do I have biological parents? I'm just asking out of curiosity.'

This time, the System fell into an even deeper silence, offering no response whatsoever.

It seemed Ning Fei's question had touched upon a sensitive nerve.

Seeing that the System wasn't going to reply, Ning Fei didn't push the matter.

He had always been the type to follow his whims. Whatever came to mind, he simply did it, living a rather carefree life.

As he trekked through the Tropical Rainforest, Ning Fei addressed his viewers, "It's spring right now, so the weather isn't too hot yet. The heat will probably peak around noon."

"In a place like this, mosquitoes and insects are a major problem. However, because I have cultivated the Dao since childhood and bathe in a special incense, under normal circumstances, insects won't bite me."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the viewers were utterly astounded.

"Temple Master Ning, mosquitoes don't bite you? Seriously?"

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it!"

"It's perfectly normal. He has an immortal's physique. Generally speaking, bugs wouldn't dare to bite him."

"Temple Master Ning rarely lies. I believe it!"

"I need a link to that incense! My mosquito-magnet body gets annoyed to death by them in the summer!"

"Same here! The animal I hate the most in my life is the mosquito! So disgusting!"

The chat was buzzing with activity.

Meanwhile, the Production Crew deliberately broadcasted this exact statement from Ning Fei to the rest of the world.

The Wilderness Survival Production Crew had a dedicated data team working behind the scenes to analyze each contestant's contribution to the viewership ratings.

They were producing a show, but they were also running data. Everything came down to the numbers.

To the director's surprise, while they had originally assumed Lord Ed or Lord Bear would pull the highest ratings, Ning Fei's level of attention had already surpassed them both.

Throughout all of yesterday, Lord Bear and Lord Ed only peaked in viewership when Lord Bear ate a giant grub and Lord Ed successfully started a fire.

Now, Ning Fei was the absolute center of conversation. The directing team went even further and directly hired a dedicated Huaxia language translator.

This meant Ning Fei's footage would be broadcast with a 2 to 3-minute delay, airing fully equipped with English subtitles.

Now that was special treatment.

In all the years the show had been running, this was the first time a non-English-speaking contestant had their words completely subtitled from start to finish.

This move also won resounding applause from a massive number of foreign viewers.

During the livestream, Ning Fei spoke Huaxia language from beginning to end.

However, his passing comment—"Generally, mosquitoes won't bite me"—was translated, immediately sparking a heated discussion among foreign netizens.

"What is he joking about! Does he not know how terrifying the mosquitoes in the Tropical Rainforest are?"

"Huaxia, anything is possible in that mysterious place!"

"Right! That place has a history of over five thousand years, while we only have a few hundred. It's terrifying to think about!"

"I heard there are many incredibly powerful people in the deep mountains of Huaxia who can fly through the sky like Iron Man!"

"Stop making things up. How could anyone really not get bitten by toxic mosquitoes? This Huaxia guy has fair, delicate skin. Toxic mosquitoes specifically target people like him!"

Right then, Ning Fei came to a halt.

He saw a dense swarm of small black dots hovering next to a patch of bushes ahead.

Looking at the swarm, even he frowned in slight disgust.

"Look over there, everyone. Those are Amazon toxic mosquitoes."

"Even a hippo with its thick, tough hide might not be able to withstand this kind of mosquito."

"If you get bitten by these mosquitoes, you might even die from the poison."

"Mosquitoes generally don't bite me when I'm in Huaxia. I'm not entirely sure about here, but I have to pass through this area, so I still have to give it a try."

In his heart, Ning Fei knew that since he had drawn the Insect Barrier skill in this exact location, he was undoubtedly immune to the bugs.

Therefore, he wasn't the least bit worried.

The viewers, on the other hand, felt their scalps tingle with fear.

On the livestream camera, that dense, dark cloud of mosquitoes looked truly terrifying.

Put it this way: compared to these toxic mosquitoes, the everyday little mosquitoes in Huaxia seemed almost cute.

The foreign viewers were shocked!

"What is this Huaxia guy doing? Yesterday a contestant got swarmed by mosquitoes and was sent straight to the hospital!"

"Just getting stung a couple of times by those mosquitoes is enough to put you in the hospital!"

However, under the nervous gazes of all the viewers, Ning Fei simply strolled lightly right through the swarm of toxic mosquitoes.

It was as if there was some special barrier protecting his body.

Some mosquitoes were flying lower. As Ning Fei walked past, these mosquitoes actively scattered to the sides, looking as if they were deliberately avoiding him.

This scene instantly blew the minds of the foreign viewers.

Bullet screens and discussions flooded in, densely packing the screen in an instant.

And the comment with the most likes read:

"My God! Huaxia really has superhumans!"
