After figuring it all out, Chen Wen finally resolved his inner doubts.
Livestreaming, it seems, isn't always a good thing.
Livestreaming can make him quick money and quickly boost his fame.
But it comes with risks.
Chen Wen initially thought the risk of livestreaming was only exposing his abilities, but now it seems there's another factor.
"Figured it out?"
Chen Wen nodded slightly.
"Yeah, I finally understand why those Druids chose to hide in the woods and not come out. This line of work indeed requires keeping a certain distance from human society."
"Of course, the Druids in the movies live with animals in remote places, don't they?"
Lv Guocheng patted Chen Wen on the shoulder: "In my opinion, these people are still lacking. They chose to escape, but you should eat when you need to, raise when you need to, why care about others? Are they idle? We're in a civilized society now, would anyone still tie you to a cross and burn you for this?"
Chen Wen smirked; Old Lv's words were crude but held some truth.
"So, once you take off the camera, just do what you need to do."
Lv Guocheng stood up, stretching his old waist: "While you're young, see more, add some stories to your life, otherwise, when you get old, you'll have nothing worth reminiscing about, that would be very sad."
Chen Wen nodded slightly: "I understand."
Starting from today, in this world, leave my own stories!
Chen Wen picked up the satellite phone and contacted Xiao Yong.
"I heard everything."
Xiao Yong's tone was a bit weary: "Your words were muted, the online viewers can't hear them, what do you want to say now?"
"I want to fight for an opportunity for myself!"
Chen Wen's eyes were full of determination, his mind racing: "Aren't we doing a livestream? How about directly shutting down the livestream room? It doesn't have to be long, just one morning will do!"
Xiao Yong was silent for a moment, then explained: "Chen Wen, the livestream room can't just be stopped at will; it's a matter of principle."
"Let me finish, Mr. Xiao, in exchange, I'll give you a big show before the program ends!"
Chen Wen's thinking was very clear; he knew the methods of the program team.
As long as you can bring in popularity, principles?
They're not important!
A big show?
What's left to do?
Xiao Yong knew clearly that in the later stages of survival in the wilderness, it's about competing in willpower and details.
This part is the most boring; what big show could there be?
But Chen Wen had a smile on his face: "Let's use the top predator on this island—five hundred thousand as an exchange! How about that?"
Top predator? Five hundred thousand?
Xiao Yong was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering what he had said to Chen Wen before going on the island.
At the time, he joked that if Chen Wen could hunt a saltwater crocodile, the chief director could reward him five hundred thousand.
A joke was just a joke.
But now…
Xiao Yong's breathing became a bit rapid.
Hunting a crocodile isn't much of a great action.
But what if it's hunting a saltwater crocodile nearly five meters long, weighing up to a ton?
"I'll discuss it with the chief director!"
Xiao Yong quickly said: "Don't hang up!"
Chen Wen acknowledged, knowing that this matter was half accomplished.
A moment later, a stranger's voice came through: "Okay! I agree!"
This voice was extremely excited: "We will take the excuse of stopping the broadcast for rectification, the men's group will stop broadcasting for a day, and your personal camera will stop broadcasting for three days! But in exchange, a week later, you and others will go to hunt a saltwater crocodile! An adult saltwater crocodile! It must weigh over a ton!"
What is this?
Chen Wen was taken aback, and the next second, Xiao Yong's voice helplessly came through: "This is the chief director, Xie Yu."
"Mr. Xie, don't worry, I guarantee it will weigh over a ton! If it doesn't, I'll hunt another one!"
Chen Wen's tone was equally excited; hunting the saltwater crocodile was already on his target list.
Moreover, Yan Bian had gathered enough information during this time.
The saltwater crocodile had already made it onto the must-eat list for the men's group.
"Good! Hahaha, go for it! I have faith in you, Chen Wen!"
Xie Yu's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Chen Wen smiled slightly, his goal achieved.
The camera on him was turned off.
The next three days belonged to the fully unleashed him!
After hanging up, Chen Wen fisted with Lv Guocheng: "Thanks, Mr. Lv."
"Don't mention it, I didn't really do anything; it's all what you fought for yourself."
Lv Guocheng looked at him with admiration: "I believe you can write the most exciting story."
"Yeah, I'm off then!"
Chen Wen waved and intended to leave.
But the photographer, who was still on the side, stopped him.
This was the photographer who came to the island with the men's group.
But he ate the food brought by drones and stayed in a tent not far from the camp.
"Memories will fade, but videos won't."
The photographer took out a delicate action camera from his equipment box: "Record this moment; it's waterproof."
Chen Wen took the action camera and thanked him.
...
Chen Wen almost sprinted to the beach.
By the beach, Mr. Jia was already waiting there.
The livestream didn't need to continue, but Chen Wen's life safety still had to be ensured.
He also knew about what happened to Chen Wen.
"Come on, get on the boat; we'll take you there."
Jia Pei stopped Chen Wen, who was pushing the raft, and reached out his right hand: "Since no one is watching, no one will report us. We'll take you, and you can save some energy."
Chen Wen smiled slightly, taking Jia Pei's hand.
With the speedboat starting quickly, Chen Wen soon reached the area where the octopus lived.
He nodded to Mr. Jia and the other four rescue team members, then jumped into the water.
Two divers, as per the agreement, followed Chen Wen from a distance.
...
Underwater.
Relying on memory, Chen Wen soon found the octopus's home.
But to Chen Wen's surprise, there was no octopus at home.
Gone out to court again?
Chen Wen felt anxious and began to surface.
After discussing with Jia Pei, the boat arrived near the pale coral.
"Thanks, I'll treat you to drinks after it's over!"
Chen Wen said hastily, not waiting for Jia Pei to reply, then jumped into the sea.
Jia Pei chuckled and shook his head.
Between the pale coral, living creatures were quite scarce.
These dead corals seemed to foretell the fate of the remaining creatures in this area.
Chen Wen quickly searched for the octopus's shadow in the coral crevices.
Soon.
Chen Wen's pupils shrank.
Was he too late?
In an extremely hidden coral reef, he found two octopuses.
They were holding each other tightly.
But when Chen Wen's shadow was exposed, one of the octopuses moved.
It reached out a tentacle and patted the other octopus.
After a pause, the other octopus quickly disappeared into the crevice of the coral reef.
And the remaining octopus swam over in a rather peculiar posture.
Two tentacles in front, the rest behind, simultaneously stirring the water.
Chen Wen recognized it; it was his friend, that octopus!
He reached out, and the octopus extended a tentacle as well.
Not too late, just in time!
Chen Wen hesitated for a moment and began ascending with the octopus.
The octopus didn't resist but wrapped around Chen Wen's hand, silently following.
At the surface, Chen Wen placed the octopus in front of him.
He spoke softly: "I can take you away, leave here, you don't have to die."
The octopus listened to Chen Wen's voice, tilting its head.
As if understanding, yet perhaps not.
It did not respond but left Chen Wen's hand.
While Chen Wen was speaking, it placed its tentacle against Chen Wen's throat, feeling the vibration of the vocal cords.
When Chen Wen finished speaking, the octopus retracted its tentacle and looked curiously at Chen Wen as if contemplating why his body vibrated.
Soon, the octopus reached a conclusion.
It gently wiggled a tentacle as if mimicking Chen Wen's vibration.
But it was silent.
