Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

"Ow~"

Wolves? Uesugi Kenichi raised an eyebrow. Judging from the sound, there were quite a few of them; it must be a pack of wolves, and they weren't close at all.

But this place isn't even deep in the jungle, so why are there wolves?

The wolf's howl startled the viewers in the live stream as well.

"Holy crap, did you guys hear that? There are wolves here, and judging from the sound, there's more than one, it sounds like there's a whole pack."

"My God, the wilderness is too dangerous."

"Master Uesugi, why don't we go back tomorrow? It's too dangerous to go any further in."

"This is so exciting! I feel like I'm going on a wilderness adventure with the streamer. Is there ever a next time? Please take me with you! I'm willing to pay."

……

Uesugi Kenichi listened for a while, and then the sound gradually faded away.

"As you all just heard, the forest at night is extremely dangerous. Countless wild beasts choose to come out at night to hunt for food. In order to ensure that we can get a good night's sleep, I plan to set up a few traps."

"It's very simple. Just make use of the surrounding environment. You can see these animal trails here. You can choose to set traps in these places. You might even get some other rewards."

"I don't have any other tools at the moment, so the trap needs to be made according to local conditions and use local materials. It needs to be quick and practical. Stones, tree trunks, vines, and even our shoelaces can be used as materials."

Kenichi Uesugi carefully searched around the cabin. "What I'm going to make now is a simple rope snare trap. It's very simple. All you need to do is find a tree with many branches, then select a suitable branch, bend it and place it against the Y-shaped fork of an adjacent branch, and then tie a vine to one end to make a snare."

"Finally, we put the bait in the trap. Take a look, and we're done. How about that? Isn't it simple? Now let's see how well it works."

Kenichi Uesugi inserted a tree branch, and the mechanism was instantly activated, the rope tightened, and the branch was tied up.

"This seems to be something special."

"I've learned something! It doesn't seem too difficult. I'll try it out later."

"I strongly suspect that the streamer is a seasoned veteran hunter. He is extremely familiar with the wilderness. Don't be fooled by how well the streamer is doing today. If it were you, not only would it be dangerous, but you might not be able to find any food at all by the end of the day."

"The truth is revealed upstairs."

As he spoke, Ken Uesugi quickly made several rope traps. "Besides this type, there are other types of traps that you can try if you have the opportunity."

"For example, digging a pit. When digging a pit, you need to pay attention to putting in some bait and camouflage. There are also some dangerous types of mechanisms. I won't teach you about these. First, you don't have the right tools. Second, these mechanisms are very dangerous. They are not only useful to animals, but also very lethal to people."

"After setting these traps, you must remember their locations so you don't forget them and fall into one yourself, which would be really embarrassing."

“I once saw a case where a friend forgot the location of a trap he had set, which resulted in him getting injured.”

"I should be done after these few. I'm going to rest now. Everyone should go to bed early too. See you tomorrow."

"Lord Uesugi, don't go!"

"Let's stream a little longer, even if it's just to chat. After watching Uesugi-sama's stream, I can't watch anyone else's stream anymore."

"I just want to watch the streamer quietly. I won't get bored even if I watch all night. I'm fine with sleeping, but could you please not turn off the stream?"

"That's right, Mr. Uesugi, you can go to sleep, we'll keep watch for you."

Uesugi Kenichi smiled. Some of the viewers in the live stream were indeed very cute, but he still didn't intend to listen to their advice. He didn't have the habit of sleeping in front of others.

"good night, see you tomorrow."

As he said this, viewers who knew the situation was hopeless kept flooding the screen with "Goodnight."

After turning off the live stream, Uesugi Kenichi tidied up the house, took out a sleeping bag from his backpack, and crawled inside.

This expensive sleeping bag is very warm and doesn't feel cramped at all; it's quite comfortable.

Before going to sleep, he received phone calls from his family and Shiyu and the others.

The girls were very worried about him spending the night alone in the wilderness and told him to go back the next day. It took him a long time to comfort them.

He felt quite tired after a long day and soon fell into a deep sleep.

While he was asleep, a frenzy of celebration erupted online.

Although the live stream had ended, many viewers were reluctant to leave, chatting and joking in the chat room, discussing the day's events, and sending gifts everywhere.

After staying in the live stream room for quite a while, the million-strong homeless army began to flock to various live stream rooms. This sudden surge in traffic made the other streamers very happy.

However, before they could even celebrate, Akane Akasaka logged into Kenichi Uesugi's official WeChat account and uploaded the audio.

This million-strong army instantly surged to various public accounts, and went on a frenzy on blogs and Douyin.

A short piece of music, only a few dozen seconds long, was wildly requested and downloaded, and within just two hours it climbed into the top ten monthly sales charts on major music platforms, with the numbers still soaring.

This sudden surge in traffic has caught the attention of countless people. News about Uesugi Kenichi has flooded various social media platforms. Some netizens have even edited together videos from the entire day, added music, and made them go viral online.

Almost everyone who watched the video was captivated. This form of live streaming is so novel, perfectly showcasing the beauty of the wilderness and mountains, arousing countless people's longing for the wild, and it's still so exciting and fun.

The incredibly precise baseball throws, knife throws, snake attacks, delicious food, beautiful scenery, hot springs, and music—the edited video bursts with tremendous energy.

It went viral, and countless people were captivated by the incredibly handsome young man in the video.

He's handsome and capable; how could they not love him?

Chapter 245 Red Panda

Two words were spoken overnight, and at 6 a.m. the next morning, as dawn was breaking, Uesugi Kenichi opened his eyes.

He slept very well that night. The temperature in the forest wasn't high at night, but the sleeping bag was quite warm. Occasionally, he could hear the howls of wild animals, but fortunately, it didn't bother him.

He sensed that some animals had been wandering around the area last night, but since he didn't feel any danger, he didn't pay any attention to them.

He crawled out of his sleeping bag, rubbed his hair which had grown back without him noticing, and immediately started a live stream.

As soon as the live stream started, hundreds of thousands of people flooded in, and many more people continued to join after receiving the news that Uesugi Kenichi's live stream had started.

"Oh, good morning, Mr. Uesugi."

"did you sleep well last night?"

"Newbie reporting in! Turns out the streamer really is just as handsome as he looks in the videos."

"Old Master Uesugi was born with such good looks, I'm so envious."

Uesugi Kenichi yawned and walked out of the house. "Good morning, everyone. There are so many people here so early in the morning. Don't you guys want to sleep?"

Dark Flamebringer: "Sleep my ass! I don't even know who edited this video, but I've been watching it all night."

The shrine maiden of Kanagawa: "You get up so early every day."

Kenichi Uesugi's first wife said, "I had my maids take turns watching over me all night. They would wake me up as soon as the broadcast started, and it didn't affect my sleep at all."

"So this is what life is like for rich women? I love it!"

"Haha, Mr. Uesugi looks so cute with his eyes half-closed and not fully awake. I just want to hug him."

"What kind of live stream is this? There are already a million viewers this early in the morning? The amount of money being spent is incredible."

"No way, no way, there are still people in Flying Shark who don't know about Uesugi-sama?"

"Surround this newbie and don't let him get away."

After greeting the viewers in the live stream with a smile, Uesugi Kenichi walked to the stream to wash up.

After a quick wash, he packed all his luggage, pointed the camera at the clouds in the sky, and said, "Look up, everyone. There might be a heavy rain today, so I need to set off quickly, otherwise the roads will be very difficult to travel after the heavy rain."

"But before we set off, let's go check out the place where we set the trap yesterday. We heard a lot of noise outside last night, so hopefully we'll find something."

He inserted the dog-head knife into his leg and moved quickly. Along the way, he saw many animal footprints densely packed around the cabin and woodland.

Kenichi Uesugi moved the camera over and showed these traces to the viewers in the live stream, which immediately shocked them and gave them a deeper understanding of the dangers of the wilderness.

"As you can see, this area was visited by quite a few animals last night. They were probably attracted by the entrails I buried. However, we didn't see any large carnivores in these footprints, which is good news."

He set five snare traps last night, and when he checked the two closest to him, they both failed.

However, he was not discouraged and turned to walk towards the third trap. The third trap was quite interesting. The trap had obviously been triggered, and the scene was a mess, as if some animal had struggled frantically there.

Kenichi Uesugi picked up the broken vine from the ground, his brow twitching slightly, his expression somewhat serious.

“Everyone, take a look at the footprints around here. Judging from the shape and depth of the footprints, it should be a wild boar weighing 200 pounds that stepped into the trap.”

"I think everyone is familiar with pigs. They seem to be fat, lazy and docile, but wild boars are different."

"Wild boars living in the forest have limited food and are constantly running around, so they grow very slowly compared to domestic pigs. A wild boar that can grow to 200 pounds can be considered a tyrant in the forest."

"Wild boars are aggressive and fierce. Even the top predators or bears are unwilling to provoke a wild boar in a rage. Simple rope traps like this are almost ineffective against wild boars."

"Look at these vines, everyone. It's obvious that they've been pulled by a tremendous force. Even the branches over there have fallen down because of this force."

After cleaning up the traps on the ground, Uesugi Kenichi headed towards the last two locations.

Before he even got close, he heard struggling and some sharp cries, so he quickened his pace and walked over.

The viewers in the live stream also got excited. They had initially thought that these traps would yield no results, and some were even making sarcastic remarks, but suddenly they were proven wrong again.

"It seems like we've made some progress."

"Lord Uesugi is amazing! These traps actually worked!"

"Where's the guy who just said it was a waste of time? Come out and get a beating."

Uesugi Kenichi took a small step forward and found a roe deer with one leg tightly bound by vines. When it saw him approaching, it struggled even more desperately, but to no avail.

He glanced at the roe deer; it wasn't very big, probably not yet an adult. Its large, dark eyes were filled with fear, making one feel reluctant to harm it.

Without much thought, he pounced on it swiftly. In a flash, the roe deer he had twisted by the neck whimpered, and after a couple of kicks, it went still.

Holding the roe deer by the neck, he weighed it in his hand and estimated it to be about 8 pounds, indicating it was a young roe deer.

He held the roe deer in front of the camera, a smile spreading across his face. "Look everyone, setting a trap was definitely necessary. It was effortless, and we've almost got our food for the day. Now I can focus on our journey. There seems to be some movement on the other side; let's go check it out."

Viewers in front of the live stream (Zhao Mahao) kept sending comments: "The streamer is too cruel, ending a life so easily, I've reported it," "This roe deer didn't provoke the streamer, why did he do this? It's too much," "A streamer like this can be so popular, the viewers in this live stream seem to be just as cruel, hopeless."

These are some self-righteous, armchair critics making their pronouncements, and many viewers in the live stream are constantly refuting them.

Uesugi Kenichi noticed it too, but he was too lazy to say anything. He couldn't stop others from thinking what they wanted, nor would he stop killing the roe deer because of their opinions.

As they moved to the other side, another animal caught in a trap was revealed to the audience, immediately drawing their attention.

"Is this a red panda?" Uesugi Kenichi frowned as he looked at the small, brown and white animal in front of him.

Chapter 246 Cute Things

When the red panda saw Kenichi Uesugi bring his face close, it froze in fright. Its keen intuition told it that there was an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the animal in front of it, more terrifying than any beast it had ever seen before.
