Chapter 322: Chapter 319: Guard Against Theft
Bi Fang sat on the edge of his bed, feeling quite excited.
Just yesterday, he was wondering when the System would issue a new task, and today it had arrived.
Excluding the ti spent recording in the Wilderness Arena, Bi Fang had been resting for over a month since before the New Year, and his bones were starting to rust.
He couldn’t wait to open the task panel.
Task Na: Ruins City
Task Location: Abascan Yein Region
Task Mode: Warfare City Survival
Task Difficulty: S2
Task Requirent: Apart from system-supplied equipnt, no other items may be carried.
Subtask One: Establish a live broadcast with a consistent online audience of over one million.
Subtask Two: Conduct a six-day wilderness live broadcast and survive successfully.
Guaranteed Reward: Unlock one breakthrough task.
Ti Limit: Fifteen days.
Ruins City?
After browsing through the entire task, Bi Fang frowned.
He did not like this task one bit.
Abbascan, one of the most chaotic countries in the world, and Yin, a ruined city within it, with bandits, organizations, and the military, all with their complex influences—just walking on the street might lead to a sudden attack, speaking nothing of safety.
However, Bi Fang wasn’t afraid, as it wasn’t his first ti facing life-threatening danger. His dislike was genuine.
He had always revered nature adventures. Although Ruins City could be considered part of the wilderness, Bi Fang disliked it thoroughly.
Rainforests, forests, deserts, snow mountains—these places might look barren but are always “brimming with life.”
Unique landscapes, magnificent natural sceneries, various animals adapting tenaciously and diligently to their environnt…
Ruins City…
The only description for it was bleak, without any hope, because those struggling here are humans themselves, and the reason for its current state is also humans.
Upon seeing this task, Bi Fang’s heart initially rejected it, but when he saw the guaranteed reward at the end, he was taken aback.
Unlock one breakthrough task?
What was that?
An unheard-of thing. He had undertaken several tasks before—forests, tundras, deserts, traversing the whole of Europe—but what was a breakthrough task?
Break through what?
The instincts of a Wilderness Master told Bi Fang this was sothing very important, that refusing it might lead to regret.
Accept.
Bi Fang trusted his instincts and clicked to accept.
This task was different from the previous ones. Going to France had been no issue, with Elvan using a researcher assistant’s certificate as assurance. But Abbascan was a sensitive country. With Bi Fang’s current status, going there could possibly cause trouble.
The task duration was only six days, yet the System gave fifteen days of preparation ti, seemingly to allow him to make the necessary communications.
He took out his phone and dialed a number, the phone on the other end belonged to soone akin to a manager arranged by his superiors, after all, his current public-facing broadcasts were marked, making it easier to find soone if an issue arose.
“Abbascan? Is Mr. Bi joking?”
The person responsible on the other end of the line was taken aback, and after digging at his ear to make sure he hadn’t misheard, and confirming that the other party was not joking, his expression turned serious.
“This is a bit troubleso.”
“That’s why I inford you ahead of ti, no?”
“Inford ?”
The person in charge rubbed his brow, finding the other party’s words a bit too straightforward.
It was a notification, not a request for approval, seemingly reflecting a very strong desire to go.
After long consideration, the person in charge nodded, “Alright then, I’ll notify the higher-ups as soon as possible and then get in touch with the Abbascan Faction. The crux of this matter isn’t really with us, but rather whether they will agree. If they don’t agree, our consent is in vain, Mr. Bi should understand this.”
“I know.”
Bi Fang nodded, of course aware that the agreent depended on the Abbascan Faction’s stance, only if they said it was possible, would it truly be possible.
After informing the officials, Bi Fang imdiately contacted Wolf Fang, but Assistant Liu seed sowhat confused about these matters and agreed with a seeming lack of full understanding.
A mont later, the phone rang again.
Wang Yongbo’s loud voice ca from the other end: “Abbascan, Bi Fang, you’re not joking, are you? That place counts as wilderness?”
“It does,” Bi Fang nodded earnestly.
“…”
There was a mont of silence on the other end of the phone, trembling slightly, “But that’s a war zone, planes don’t even dare to fly over it!”
“Otherwise, why would I go?”
“You! Ah, that’s different!”
“It’s the sa.”
Wang Yongbo was speechless, the other guy sure had guts; though he himself had never been to Abbascan and wouldn’t dare to, he could tell from movies and TV shows just how terrifying that place was.
It was as different from the dostic environnt as heaven is from hell.
After a long silence, Wang Yongbo finally sighed, “Do as you wish, I’ve realized that I’ve tried to advise you more than once, yet nothing has happened to you so far, and here I am nearly getting a heart attack.”
Perhaps this is the gap between ordinary people and legends.
With a brief warning, Wang Yongbo no longer tried to dissuade him and instead brought up another matter, inviting Bi Fang to an award ceremony.
“An award ceremony? Wasn’t that already held?”
Bi Fang frowned, thinking the award ceremony Wang Yongbo spoke of was just the annual eting, where they invited top strears from his platform to show their faces and receive bonuses.
Last month, when the Wolf Fang annual event was held, he was still adrift at sea, naturally unable to attend. So what was this now?
“It’s not the annual eting, it has been a month, how could it be the annual eting? It’s an official comndation!”
Wang Yongbo clicked his mouse, sending Bi Fang a notification ssage; it turned out to be an official invitation for Wolf Fang to participate in the Magic Capital’s High-Quality Entertainnt Platform, Outstanding Cultural Transmission Event, Award and Observational eting.
Bi Fang’s na was prominently listed, highlighted even.
Bi Fang suddenly rembered a ssage he’d received a long ti ago about the authorities planning to rectify the disorder in the webcasting industry. Clearly, this event was also part of the recent enforcent actions: rewarding the good and penalizing the bad, cracking down on impropriety and establishing a standard.
Webcasting was a form of entertainnt that erged with the rapid developnt of the internet era, growing rapidly as soon as it appeared, and within a few years, several companies were valued at billions.
The rapid growth mostly resulted in rawness, just like a boy during puberty, with a snot-covered nose and soft whiskers sprouting mindlessly around the lips, sotis waking up to find that his pants have beco too short overnight.
Just like the sudden roar of thunder awakening insects everywhere, causing annoyance to humans.
One day, with a clap of thunder within, various red, white, yellow, and purple eruptions would burst forth across the face, seizing everyone’s attention.
Webcasting was the sa; it had grown too fast and too recklessly, wholly dependent on market norms—even barbaric in its growth, with frequent chaos. However, as a nascent field, it couldn’t simply be cut off, but guided towards a healthy and positive direction.
The ergence of Bi Fang was the most powerful testant to this.
So, while the authorities criticized platforms like Tiger Fang and Shark, they also needed to acknowledge the good ones, to set an example for the industry.
It goes without saying who the example was.
Wolf Fang was selected as an outstanding video platform, with a special ntion of Bi Fang’s presence!
When Wang Yongbo first saw this notification, he almost thought he had read it wrong, as it was completely beyond his expectation.
Webcasting and winning an award?
Although it was just an award with no substantial reward, it signified official recognition and encouragent, and that was more valuable than money.
