After long days of labor, he wondered if he could film videos and become a content creator too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after careful thought, he realized he had nothing impressive to show in videos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making skits required writing scripts—he couldn’t do that. Sharing his daily life was too dull; no one would watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much deliberation, he thought live streaming might be a way forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he couldn’t bring himself to imitate Jiao Ge—earning money that way felt humiliating; he couldn’t face the ridicule, even from himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, over the past two months, a name suddenly exploded on Douyin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man netizens called “Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching Qin Ye’s videos, Zhang Kui felt like he’d discovered a new continent—he became utterly obsessed with all of Qin Ye’s stunts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He marveled at Qin Ye’s bare-handed rock climbing, recoiled at Qin Ye’s solo ascent of Yaomei Peak, and was awed by Qin Ye’s challenges of every extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qin Yun returned from the Qaidam Desert, Zhang Kui finally took his first step—he searched for other outdoor streamers on Douyin to compare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found that Qin Ye’s wild stunts were impossible for ordinary people to replicate. But in all those livestreams, there was one thing ordinary people could try: wilderness survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to match Qin Ye’s extremes—just set up equipment somewhere, live outdoors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re skilled and comfortable in the wild, people will watch. If you’re clueless and keep getting into trouble, people will still watch. So Zhang Kui dug through dozens of similar Douyin accounts, analyzing each one with the same effort he’d put into his high school entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your skills are polished and your wilderness comfort draws viewers; if you know nothing and are all pitfalls, people still watch. So Zhang Kui dug up a pile of similar Douyin accounts and analyzed them one by one, applying the same effort he’d put into his middle school entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out all his savings and began preparing for his self-media journey: buying gear, learning filming, studying basic wilderness knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally chose a spot in his hometown—Qixing Mountain in Zhangjiajie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qixing Mountain was a tourist attraction, so he couldn’t pick a crowded area—it would expose him. Instead, he used the Qixing Boundary Marker on the northwest side as his anchor, walked about three to four hundred meters back, and picked a slightly more open spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond five hundred meters past the Qixing Boundary Marker, signal vanished completely. Inside the marker’s zone, 4G\u002F5G coverage was full, even with public Wi-Fi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the spot Zhang Kui chose was perfect: no one around, with signal, and no interference with his livestream. And if he got tired, he could return to the scenic area anytime to buy food and drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the place Zhang Kui picked was perfect—no one around, yet with signal, not interfering with his livestream. And if the livestream got too tough, he could return to the scenic area anytime to buy food and drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first two days of livestreaming went smoothly. Wilderness survival had recently gained traction—any video or livestream on the topic carried its own traffic. So even though his stream had nothing remarkable,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>most netizens were bored—and Zhang Kui actually reaped the livestreaming benefits: he got tips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Zhang Kui even more excited and energized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things changed on the third day—two days ago, December 2nd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A viewer spotted a signal tower and an observation deck in the livestream, claiming he wasn’t in Zhangjiajie’s uninhabited zone but near the scenic area, accusing him of false advertising—his title said ‘uninhabited zone livestream,’ but it was pure clickbait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Kui then moved deeper—and the signal cut out completely. Logically, that spot should’ve been safe, but once the signal vanished, he disappeared. It’s been 48 hours now, and his phone still won’t connect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan pointed at a spot on her PAD’s satellite map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Kui’s signal vanished right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun frowned: “Did you report it to the police?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The person who contacted us was Zhang Kui’s former coworker. He has no real friends—this guy only stayed in touch because Zhang Kui once helped him at work.” Su Huan sighed. “He’s an orphan, raised by his grandparents. After they died during his high school years, he left home to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, all business contacts on Qin Yun’s Douyin and Weibo accounts list Su Huan’s details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qin Yun felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, this had nothing to do with him. But the key issue was Zhang Kui’s livestream title: “Qin Ye’s Fan, Kui Ye’s First Uninhabited Zone Livestream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With fifty million followers, Qin Yun wasn’t just an ordinary person—he was a public figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His influence was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you downplay it, Zhang Kui was just using Qin Yun’s traffic for livestreaming—no incident, no problem. But if you magnify it, Zhang Kui’s accident was directly tied to Qin Yun’s influence, and netizens would inevitably attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would inevitably escalate into debates about life philosophy and values.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if something happened, Qin Yun believed his fans had enough discernment to avoid being led astray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, from his heart, now that he knew, he couldn’t pretend ignorance—or ignore it. Especially since Zhang Kui was genuinely his fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, from the bottom of his heart, now that he knew, he couldn’t pretend not to know, let alone ignore it. Besides, the other person was genuinely his fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going there myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan thought, as expected. When Qin Yun flew straight from Zhoushan to Hangzhou after hearing this, she already knew his mind. So she wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond five hundred meters past the boundary marker, Qixing Mountain is no longer part of the regular scenic area—it’s undeveloped prime forest, with complex terrain and large day-night temperature differences. It’s still dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun nodded: “Let’s go take a look. I’m leaving today—I’ll arrive tonight. You contact the guy directly and file a police report.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ll book your flight right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, the ticket was bought. Su Huan packed her things, grabbed a suitcase, and walked out of the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… what are you doing?” Qin Yun asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m coming with you. I’ll wait for you at the scenic area hotel—I won’t feel safe if you go alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun opened his mouth to say there was nothing to worry about, but the look in Su Huan’s eyes made him swallow his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, fine. Having company means we can chat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan rolled her eyes, pushed open the door, went downstairs, placed her suitcase, and sat in the front passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun tossed his backpack into the backseat, rubbed his nose, and obediently took the wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to Xiaoshan Airport, after Su Huan confirmed he’d livestream the entire rescue, Qin Yun witnessed her work mode: one call after another, and in under an hour’s drive, she’d secured another commercial deal before they even got out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After parking, Qin Yun smiled: “Without you, I’d probably earn half as much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. Good to know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan tilted her pale neck, pushed her suitcase forward, and walked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flight from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie, including the taxi ride, took three hours. Their flight was scheduled for 5 p.m., so they’d arrive at Qixing Mountain Scenic Area around 8 p.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan booked economy class—two seats side by side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard you bought a house?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun paused while fastening his seatbelt, speechless: “You and my mom really talk about everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe.” Su Huan’s eyes sparkled faintly. “I’m now best friends with your mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun smirked: “Best friends with a middle-aged woman? Has your mental age hit fifty too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mom says her mental age is about the same as mine. You say mine’s nearly fifty—what do you think she’d say if she heard that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun fell silent. Before the plane took off, he picked up his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Alipay received 50 yuan.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan’s eyes crinkled with laughter as she patted his arm: “You’re so annoying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted and laughed as the plane took off on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted and laughed, and the plane took off on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ride-hailing car drove straight through the scenic area gate and soon stopped at the Qixing Mountain cable car lower station. They got out, boarded the night cable car, and quickly reached the Qixing Mountain Villa Hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan had booked a triangular wooden cabin, entirely rustic in style, with three guest rooms, each with a spacious, open-view terrace outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan had booked a triangular wooden cabin, entirely in rustic log style, with three bedrooms, each opening onto a spacious terrace with sweeping views.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking out the floor-to-ceiling window, the mountain scenery under the stars looked like a painting, making Su Huan sigh in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun nodded, thinking the money was well spent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom, Su Huan’s expression had turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he stepped out of the bathroom after his shower, Su Huan’s expression was somewhat grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan looked at him: “His phone won’t connect. The last time I called, he blocked me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if we report it ourselves?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan shook her head: “I called the police already. They need to verify, but that won’t happen until tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun sighed. A man who’d sunk this low—no one cared if he died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you contact the police again tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think this is a false alarm?” Su Huan couldn’t reach him and had been blocked—something felt off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun shrugged: “Douyin already confirmed he ended his livestream due to signal loss, not by choice. His registered phone is out of service area. I don’t think it’s a false alarm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled, walked over to Su Huan, and gazed out the window at the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if it is, I’ll treat it as a wilderness survival livestream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Huan nodded: “Alright, I’ll contact the police tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Go freshen up. I’m going to sleep—I’ll leave at seven sharp tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his room, Qin Yun thought for a moment, then pulled out his phone and created a livestream announcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Tomorrow at 8 a.m., Qixing Mountain, Zhangjiajie. Don’t miss it.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After posting the announcement, Qin Yun saw that all the Qaidam Desert survival videos had already been released. This series was still a co-production with Douyin, so he didn’t involve Fang Nan’s company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each video in this series had surpassed five million likes and one hundred million views—solid blockbusters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creator’s share alone was a substantial sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for him, compared to livestream income, video earnings were negligible—he was a steady, long-term earner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Nan’s company had already edited the longboard descent video, but he hadn’t uploaded it yet. He’d been waiting until the Qaidam Desert series was fully released. Now that all Qaidam videos were uploaded, he directly uploaded the longboard descent video via his computer for review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Nan’s company had already edited the video of the last longboard descent, but he hadn’t uploaded it yet; he was waiting until the production and release of the Qaidam Desert survival program were complete. Now that all the Qaidam Desert videos had been uploaded, he directly uploaded the longboard descent video to the backend via his computer for review.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After uploading, he also posted the teaser on Weibo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, comments under the teaser began surging again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Has Master Qin rested for a week and is already back on livestream? Which streamer is as idle as you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, the missing person is back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking forward to it! But isn’t Mount Qixing a tourist attraction?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upstairs, Mount Qixing isn’t just the tourist area—that’s only a tiny fraction of the original forest zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, another wilderness survival? Is it the primeval forest this time? I got hooked by Master Qin’s Daxinganling wilderness survival.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading these comments, Qin Yun edited the post about Zhang Kui and pinned it as the top comment.\u003C\u002Fp>",2064,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a06e53e48cfe1b201a731ccb079a850eda51eacce769e8a624bc7f5b52d54976","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-141","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-139",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
