Chapter 303: Terrifying Power
Looking again, the comment had been instantly refreshed and covered. Qin Yun scrolled up and took a closer look at the commenter's name; it was an English name that didn't reveal anything about the person's nationality.
One had to know that TikTok was basically used by foreigners. The comment section, like YouTube and Twitch, was primarily in English, and it was rare to see Chinese.
Therefore, the occasional appearance of Chinese was quite eye-catching.
This nonsensical comment made him slightly concerned, but in truth, he didn't care much. Perhaps it was just someone playing around?
Staring at the screen for a while, no new comments appeared from this person.
He shook his head secretly and continued walking forward.
When he saw a baobab tree in the distance that had not a single leaf, only fruits hanging from its branches, a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"My luck is truly good. At my destination, just as the stream is about to end, I've encountered a Tree of Life once again."
Hearing the familiar Chinese coming from the stream, Jiang Xia, who had just attempted a risky move, felt a bit desperate. She didn't know if Master Qin had seen it, and even if he had, to be honest, she didn't think Master Qin would do anything. After all, with just a few sparse words, Master Qin might have just taken it as a joke.
Just then, a black man walked into the cave, holding a mobile phone in his hand—it was Jiang Xia's.
This black man had a fierce look on his face and was dressed sloppily, but he had an AK hanging across his chest.
He swiped on the screen, found a contact, and then placed the phone screen in front of Jiang Xia: "Is this your mom?"
Jiang Xia looked at it and nodded, her face full of fear: "Yes!"
"Don't play any tricks. Call your family right now. Once the 200,000 US dollars arrives in the account, we'll let you go immediately."
(Do not play any tricks. Call your family. Once the 200,000 USD ransom arrives, we will release you immediately.)
After speaking, the black man pressed the call button and then pressed speakerphone.
Under the baobab tree, many wild animals had gathered, mainly baboons.
This group of baboons wasn't as overbearing as one might imagine. They didn't pay much attention to the wild animals entrenched around them; even when Qin Yun appeared, they just sized him up for a while before going about their own business, ignoring him entirely.
The drone circled the baobab tree once, and Qin Yun smiled: "Friends, time flies. In the blink of an eye, eighteen days have passed."
"In these eighteen days, we set off from Lake Ndutu, successfully arrived at Seronera, and saved Professor Mboma and the others along the way. We then traveled from Seronera to the Western Corridor, where we saved two African elephants, one large and one small. Subsequently, we successfully arrived at the Mara River and watched a tragic Great Migration."
"Now, I am standing in the northern triangle of the Maasai Mara, a full 500 kilometers away from our starting point. We have experienced a lot in these eighteen days, with ups and downs along the way; I even had two life-and-death conflicts with spotted hyenas."
Hearing Qin Yun talk about the fight with the spotted hyenas, the netizens couldn't help but laugh.
"Spotted Hyena: Have some shame. It was clearly us who died, and you who lived."
"Hahaha, it was indeed a life-and-death conflict."
Qin Yun looked into the distance and continued: "These eighteen days were not just a trek spanning a thousand miles, but also an experience of coexisting with wild creatures and playing a game against the dangers of nature. Along the way, I witnessed the gentleness of all things coexisting on the grassland, and also faced the cruelty of survival in the wilderness."
"Five hundred kilometers of sleeping in the open, eighteen days of trekking from dawn till dusk, I have seen the gathering of a hundred beasts and experienced brushes with death. Friends, it is time to say goodbye again. I am Qin Yun, a Chinese person. Please look forward to the next stream. This time, I will draw five fans from around the world to join me."
"Alright, the stream ends here. Goodbye, and I wish everyone all the best."
After speaking, the drone soared upward, getting higher and higher, and in a short while, his figure was only as big as an ant.
Seeing this, the comments and gifts in the stream reached their final climax.
"Looking forward to it, looking forward to it!"
"I hope I get picked."
"Master Qin won't rig it, right?"
"What's there to rig? Master Qin is such a big streamer; it makes no difference to him who he brings. Besides, Master Qin will definitely conduct the drawing online."
As the scenery of the grassland slowly faded from the stream, the prompt that the streamer had gone offline popped up in all four stream rooms almost simultaneously. With this, Qin Yun's stream had officially come to an end.
He sat down under the baobab tree, stabbed his knife in, dug twice, aimed his water bottle at the opening, and soon filled it with a full bottle of water.
Sipping the natural beverage, Qin Yun took the drone that had flown back into his hand. He tapped the screen to enter the playback interface.
He remembered the time, so he quickly found the place where that comment appeared.
"Help, Garissa, Bour-Algi, help."
He knew Garissa; it was a city in northeastern Kenya, quite remote. He didn't know much else, only that it had a hot and arid desert climate, with average daytime temperatures exceeding 33 degrees Celsius all year round.
The reason he only knew about this city was because armed attacks and kidnapping incidents occurred there every year, making it a place with low security.
The drone was specialized, so although it was connected to the internet, it was only for a few streaming software programs and didn't have any other software installed. If he wanted to search for things, he could only operate through the streaming software.
After a simple search, this Bour-Algi referred to a giraffe sanctuary on the Glacier Highway along the Tana River, at least seven hundred kilometers from where he was.
"A joke or real?"
To be honest, Qin Yun couldn't judge. With just such a simple piece of information, who knew what it was.
"Forget it, let's go to Nairobi to contact Su Su Huan first."
Shaking his head, Qin Yun summoned the system panel, looked at the rewards for the check-in task, and silently recited "claim."
Instantly, Qin Yun's body shook uncontrollably. A gentle yet overbearing warm current exploded from his spine, instantly rushing through his limbs and bones. Following that, a dense and sour tearing sensation came from his muscles, and a terrifying, sharp pain came from every part of his body for no reason.
"Damn!"
Qin Yun's face changed abruptly.
An ordinary person's muscle fibers are thick, loose, and have huge gaps, with limited endurance and a very low explosive ceiling. But Qin Yun, after the system's repeated skill enhancements, had long since become superhuman. However, at this very moment, the muscle fibers in his body felt as if they were being dismantled, melted, and reorganized by an invisible force, and a faint, visible warm airflow rose around his body.
Deep under his skin, in places he couldn't feel, the relatively loose and rough muscle bundles were compressing, drawing into threads, intertwining, and overlapping. Tens of thousands of muscle fibers were tightening crazily at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
Countless subtle tactile sensations of breaking, filling, and suturing were layered on top of each other, spreading across his entire torso, shoulders, back, chest, abdomen, and limbs; even his head was not spared.
This force felt like magma being poured onto his body, rushing crazily along his meridians and blood vessels, bringing an overwhelming sense of pain.
"Hiss... so painful!"
With his willpower, he found it hard to endure at this moment, which showed just how great the pain was.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have passed out in an instant.
As time passed, if one looked closely, one could still see every inch of Qin Yun's skin trembling. It was just that under the reshaping of his muscle fibers, his figure had actually shrunk a bit, and his muscle dimensions seemed even leaner.
His body contours and posture lines were more symmetrical.
But only Qin Yun knew that his body had undergone a heaven-turning change.
The density and toughness of every muscle fiber had broken through the physiological limits of a normal human. The problem didn't stop there; at the moment of muscle fiber reshaping, his tendons and bones were also changing, and his entire body's bones, joints, and fascia were being forcibly pulled and reinforced.
The sour, sharp pain coming from his bone joints intertwined with the pain of muscle tearing, causing him to clench his teeth and tremble all over.
A full hour passed before the reshaping of the muscle fibers ended. He slowly stood up from the ground, drenched in sweat.
He squeezed his fists and felt the changes in his body at this moment; Qin Yun's eyes were full of shock.
"Damn, it can even do this?"
So far, there were three non-skill rewards: Sherpa adaptation ability, human peak period, and overclocking. These three were all very unconventional, but compared to the current 【High-Density Muscle Explosive Physique】, they were simply insignificant.
"Am I not a human anymore?"
Qin Yun bared his teeth, feeling it was a bit absurd.
However, after feeling it carefully, he felt it wasn't quite that far, because at this moment, this reward didn't truly change his human structure; it only evolved his muscle fiber structure, allowing his explosive power, weight-bearing capacity, strength, and so on to increase significantly.
"Bang!"
He punched the ground, and a crater instantly appeared on the ground.
"This strength... it still doesn't reach the ton level, but it's already extremely close."
Qin Yun was tongue-tied. Once this terrifying strength was used in a fight, a single punch would probably cost someone their life. It was too scary. ===== CHAPTER 304 =====
