Even when upset, he simply scrolled through short videos and forgot everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the survival show went live on TikTok yesterday, he became completely obsessed—he even wanted to keep his phone on all day if not for classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first day of the livestream, he watched them all and selected a few to follow closely, one of whom was Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, as soon as he woke up, he entered the livestream, browsed through his followed channels, and was immediately drawn to Qin Yun’s stream. The way Qin Yun effortlessly crafted a water jug with a dagger left him awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately shared Qin Yun’s livestream on Instagram, Facebook, and X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just Jerry—many viewers who saw Qin Yun rubbing a water jug immediately favorited his livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These metrics were visible in the backend, and Qin Yun’s livestream popularity quietly rose; among all forty-nine livestreams, his popularity climbed to the middle tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although still not high, it showed that a fair number of international viewers had noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, on TikTok, Qin Yun’s popularity was unquestionably the highest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun walked to the lakeshore and observed. Though the entire lake surface appeared frozen solid like a mirror, the edges weren’t completely frozen—there were still many cracks, through which fish occasionally swam by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s twelve forty now. Although I have smoked spruce chicken, today I want to try something different for lunch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he pointed at the lake surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lake Atlin holds abundant fish resources: Arctic char, lake trout, whitefish, burbot, pike—hopefully my luck will be good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Qin Yun finished speaking, viewers flooded the livestream with comments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is Qin Ye going to catch fish? He doesn’t even have a fishing rod?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, the three items the host chose were a dagger, rope, and bow—should’ve swapped the rope for fishing line.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re underestimating Qin Ye. Catching a fish is child’s play for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, blowing smoke. Go watch Yamamoto Kazusuke—he’s the real master of fishing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking traitor, get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell did I say? Traitor? You’re the traitor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream erupted in arguments, but Qin Yun couldn’t see or interact with any of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked a few hundred meters along the shore, then sprinted forward and leapt onto the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick ice made him utterly confident he wouldn’t fall into the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to drill an ice hole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun acted immediately, ran to the shore, picked up a rock, and began smashing the ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice was truly thick—he smashed for five full minutes before finally breaking a hole fifty centimeters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In winter, such an ice hole creates major air circulation. Fish sense it clearly—they won’t take long to swim through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Qin Yun finished speaking, several Arctic char appeared in view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye predicts the future! Quick, act now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to know how Qin Ye will catch them—surely he won’t jump in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye isn’t insane—he wouldn’t kill himself like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Arctic char weren’t small—each was twenty to thirty centimeters long—but Qin Yun found them too tiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He aimed his action camera at the ice and the drone at himself, then untied the rope and tied one end to the back of an arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have the right tools, but I have a bow and rope. I’ll try shooting directly and see if I can hit one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the on-screen text, many viewers were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fucking hell, is Qin Ye out of his mind? How’s he gonna hit it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye’s weird moves—if this works, I’ll try it next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why not? Qin Ye’s arrows are strong and fast—hitting a fish is easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, Qin Yun nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and silently waited, aiming at the ice hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited over ten minutes. Many TikTok viewers, seeing the livestream silent, glanced once and switched away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those like Jerry stayed, waiting alongside Qin Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another ten minutes passed. The ice hole remained still; the camera showed nothing. The once-swimming Arctic char had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many first-time viewers on TikTok now left Qin Yun’s livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were fifty—no, forty-nine—livestreams in this survival challenge. Plenty of choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, foreign livestreams felt fresher—why would anyone deliberately follow one normally?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t know any of this, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was incredibly patient, showing no sign of impatience—even holding one pose for half an hour, he showed no fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intense focus kept his attention entirely on the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a half-meter-long shadow suddenly surfaced near the ice edge—fully captured by the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, that’s huge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s huge? Holy shit, it’s massive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How long is that? What kind of fish is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows? I don’t recognize it—I only know crucian carp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, Qin Ye’s about to act—I’m so nervous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t release the string. He waited for the fish to expose more of its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he waited silently, the lake trout’s full body finally emerged beneath the ice hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun released the string. The arrow shot through the air with a sharp whistle, then plunged into the water with a muffled “thud.” The lake trout thrashed wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson blood began spreading across the ice surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hit it! Haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerry, mid-lunch break, jumped up in excitement—but he forgot everyone around him was resting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfriendly glares turned toward him; Jerry bolted away in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t relax. As the lake trout struggled, the rope began slipping through his hands. Soon, the ten-meter rope reached its limit, taut as a bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow provided by the production team had barbs—he wasn’t worried the fish would escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the rope was taut, he began pulling slowly and steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, this lake trout is huge—I can’t wait anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun licked his lips. Soon, he hauled the massive lake trout onto the ice, fully exposed to the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish was covered in spots, its body long and sleek, its flesh plump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lake trout has soft flesh, high fat content, and no fine intermuscular bones—perfect for whole-piece cooking. The best method? Pan-searing. No seasoning needed—just sear it, and it becomes rich and delicious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And given the current temperature, I can also make sashimi—it’ll be a unique flavor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Qin Yun drool as he spoke, viewers in the livestream laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye, this is survival, not a cooking show—get your priorities straight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, I want to taste Qin Ye’s food—every time I see him cook, it looks amazing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin Ye loves life so much—he must be an excellent cook.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On TikTok, many viewers who had silently waited for Qin Yun’s shot now cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qin, you’re incredible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chinese people have so much patience—thirty minutes straight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m impressed he held the bow for thirty minutes—how much strength and endurance does that take?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking—I’m getting wet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing the lake trout’s mouth, Qin Yun reeled in the rope and bow, then returned to shore. He walked forward, found a flat area littered with flat stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll build a fire here to pan-sear the trout and make sashimi. Luckily, I collected plenty of salt frost—if I didn’t have salt, this delicacy would be wasted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, he got to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the fire starter, he easily ignited a fire, washed a stone, and placed it atop the flames to heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he began processing the lake trout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pre-set cameras, switched by the AI drone, adjusted smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This lake trout is huge—fifteen pounds. I could eat it for three meals a day for two days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning the internal organs and rinsing the fish, Qin Yun started with the sashimi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the fish on a rock, dried off the ice water, then began slicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the camera, he started from the tail, sliding the dagger slowly along the spine. The blade scraped softly against the bone—“shhh”—and a whole fillet came free. He flipped the fish and repeated the motion on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When removing the skin, he slid the blade gently between skin and flesh, pressed down on the skin, then pulled backward—the skin peeled off, revealing tender, pale flesh with fine texture and a faint pink hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun felt his saliva pooling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly sliced one fillet into paper-thin sashimi pieces, then laid them on a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this temperature, it’s a natural freezer—leave it five minutes, it’ll be chilled. A sprinkle of salt—no need to say more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the sashimi, Qin Yun picked up the other fillet and placed it on the heated stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a sizzling sound arose, and the fish’s aroma spread instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun sniffed, then looked at the camera: “I can’t wait anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he sprinkled some wild herbs he had gathered, then added a dusting of salt frost, before immediately slicing off a piece and putting it in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chewed with his eyes closed, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. He nodded: “Delicious. The meat is soft, but after searing, it’s become firmer—melts in your mouth, excellent texture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he sat on a rock, knife in hand, eating as he chatted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We shouldn’t waste the rest of this. Later, I’ll find a stone mortar and make a pot of fish soup. As for the sashimi, I plan to eat some now and store the rest after processing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In January in Canada, that’s one advantage—no worry about food spoiling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plop—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her foot slipped, and Orlin plunged entirely into the lake water; the bone-chilling cold nearly froze her soul solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scrambled upward, barely managing to drag herself back onto shore, but she was soaked through entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold wind blew, turning her dark skin pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart sank. In this weather, soaked to the skin, she knew her wilderness survival was over. But she refused—how could she give up like this? So many viewers were watching; it was only day two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d lost all face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no time for hesitation, she sprinted toward the forest and began making fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the production crew’s medical team focused on her—the health monitor on her clothing showed data plummeting, about to hit the critical threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel waved his hand, signaling the rescue team to prepare for deployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether it was Orlin’s luck or true skill, she succeeded on the first try at fire-drilling—soon a fire blazed up. Her face lit up with joy, and she immediately began stripping off her clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the temperature was over thirty below zero, removing her wet clothes actually made her feel better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she didn’t strip all at once—first she took off her outer layer, then huddled beside the fire with her body to dry. Once the outer layer was dry, she put it back on, then removed her inner garments, replacing them with the dried outer ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Repeating this process, the medical team noticed Orlin’s vital signs had returned to healthy levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this maneuver caused Orlin’s livestream viewership and popularity to surge sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People loved watching crises—and how they were resolved. Boring, mundane moments held no thrill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>",1903,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","05194d2d15d3ebf96113f7ac9a789626ffb3c89105171cddc516f8278729e9c3","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-178","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-176",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
