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.
Ning Fei was fully concentrating on his carving and had no time to bother with the comments.
However, the comments began to go overboard. Many new viewers began to add scornful remarks.
‘I came here because there were so many people watching. What is the webcaster doing? Stabbing watermelons?’
‘The surroundings are nice, but the content is boring.’
‘The webcaster is showing off his skill with a knife.’
‘Haha. So these are his skills? Impressive. Not!’
Ning Fei continued to make a cut here and there, with holes everywhere. Nonetheless, the watermelons still looked intact.
No one knew what he was doing. Some left out of boredom, while others came in and waited for him to reveal his mysterious final piece.
Liu Sen was one of those who were waiting.
He was bored at home, and there was nothing to do. He was done with his games, so he randomly selected a webcast.
As Liu Sen lived in a modern city, he preferred shows that were related to nature. Thus, he had selected an outdoor webcast. After a few clicks, he was attracted by the Light Breeze Temple Webcast Room, so he entered it.
There was a handsome young man using a knife on the screen. He seemed to be carving something, but nothing seemed to be happening to the watermelon, except for a few holes that were dripping with light juice.
“What is this webcaster doing?” Liu Sen mumbled to himself curiously.
He glanced at the screen and saw that the viewers were split into two gangs. One group was berating the webcaster, while the other was supporting him.
‘Skill of cutting?’
‘What cutting skill is this?’
Liu Sen pursed his lips as he watched.
Wasn’t he merely digging a few holes? Anyone with a hand could do that.
At this time, Ning Fei was finally done.
He raised his head and wiped his forehead as he gave a sigh of relief.
“Viewers, I’ve finished carving. I’m going to show you the completed work.” Ning Fei smiled at the screen.
He used nearly an hour to carve and had 80,000 viewers left.
He moved the phone closer to zoom in on the watermelons.
Liu Sen stared at the watermelons, feeling confused. What is he up to? What toy is that?
Many others shared his thoughts.
Ning Fei held on to the watermelon and began to scrape the residue off the surface.
And finally, his art piece was revealed!
Every viewer was dumbfounded when they realized what they had seen.
Even Liu Sen let out a curse unknowingly.
“F*ck! What was that? Did my eyes fail me?”
Liu Sen took a closer look.
On the skin of the watermelon, there was a life-like tiger carved on it. The tiger was descending from the mountain, and even the viewers could feel its dominance and power through the screen.
A tiger carved on a watermelon?
Liu Sen felt that all that he had known previously was turned topsy turvy.
Who was this webcaster?
He was too amazing for words!
At the same time, the screen exploded with comments. The screen was littered with “f*cks”, along with adjectives such as amazing, astonishing, and awesome, while the rewards started flying in nonstop.
Ning Fei’s carving skills were astonishing!
At the same time, his popularity exploded!
