Posting videos alone makes it hard to rapidly grow a fanbase—you need perfect timing, location, and luck. I’ve only streamed for three or four days, yet gained half a million followers. If I do this a few more times, tens of millions might not be out of reach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then opened his livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewers flooded in rapidly—within minutes, the count reached over a thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Master Qin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Qin’s rock-climbing video is insane—absolute god among gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good morning, Master Qin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You look energetic today, streamer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun smiled and said, “Good morning, everyone. I’m Qin Yun, currently a temporary wilderness survivor, aiming to find signs of human presence within five days. Today is day four.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yesterday was risky, but I made it through without incident—I found shelter and ate a hearty dinner, and slept undisturbed. I feel revitalized; even two wolves wouldn’t trouble me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, I need to handle my personal hygiene. I haven’t bathed in four days—you can’t smell it, but I’m about to gag.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Qin Yun walked to the stream and began undressing. Soon, only his underwear remained, but to avoid disrupting the livestream, he exposed only his upper body to the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, viewers erupted in chaotic shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, you just stripped outta nowhere—no warning at all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Streamer finally started edge-pushing—I’m crying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wilderness streamer Master Qin, desperate for views, turns to pornography.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your physique is amazing—perfect muscle definition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m drooling. I feel… damp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, look at Master Qin’s abs—then look at my belly. I got so mad I ate three bowls of noodles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is Douyin this open now? Bare skin allowed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not like he’s showing his lower half—just his upper body. Look at edge-pushing streamers—they’d split their ass cheeks open for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The guy above is filthy, but he’s right—I’m an edge-pusher. If the platform didn’t ban it, I’d go naked. Come to my stream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t believe him—I checked. He’s a greasy-footed dude.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun scrubbed his body with cold water while watching comments. He chuckled, “Don’t go spreading nonsense and bring the moderators—my stream gets banned, I’m not responsible. But to be safe, I’ll keep reducing risks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camera angle shifted upward to just above his chest, hiding even his abs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some female viewers expressed disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun quickly washed himself, dressed, then brushed his teeth, washed his face, and rinsed his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stone pot from yesterday was empty, so there was no breakfast—he could only pick wild berries and herbs on the ground to satisfy his hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He packed his gear and prepared to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to my estimate, I’m not far from Inner Mongolia—but whether that’s true, I don’t know. I’ll keep heading north. Let’s go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Qin Yun couldn’t be sure he’d find human traces within five days, but it didn’t matter. As long as he avoided dangerous large predators, he felt more than capable. Besides, in the wilderness, he felt a sense of freedom he truly enjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking over four hours, nearing noon, Qin Yun’s eyes lit up—he sprinted forward a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? What treasure has the streamer found now? Look at that expression.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet day today—bad review.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve only eaten a few berries since morning—yesterday’s pheasant must’ve digested by now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun reached the small trees and laughed loudly, “Look what I found! I’ve been wondering why I didn’t see it after walking three or four days—turns out it was right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop laughing and spit it out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell us! Tell us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun plucked a nut, peeled back its leaves, and revealed the fruit inside: “This is a hazelnut tree. Its fruit—hazelnuts—you’ve all heard of them. One of the world’s four major nuts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hazelnuts? Holy shit, these are hazelnuts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, they are hazelnuts—but wild ones. Taste probably sucks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And these trees look underripe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who cares if they’re ripe? Doesn’t this mean the streamer’s fed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this comment, Qin Yun froze in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, you’re happy I’m starving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, Master Qin’s expression is adorable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just wanted to see you eat bugs. Now you’ve got nuts—you won’t eat bugs anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun sighed, “What kind of people are you? Can’t you wish me well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He peeled off the outer green husk, crushed the hard shell with his fingers, and popped the white kernel into his mouth, crunching loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he ate, he gave a thumbs-up: “Excellent—sweet, crisp, delicious. Fully ripe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beneath the tree, he became a squirrel—picking one nut, eating one, continuing for over twenty minutes before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t leave the rest—he stuffed a whole pile into his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…” He burped, savoring the lingering flavor. “Heh. With these nuts, even if I don’t hunt for food these next two days, I’m covered. Hazelnuts are highly nutritious and taste great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing everything, he pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So far, I’ve followed the stream’s path, but after walking so long, it hasn’t widened. No rush—water flows downhill. This stream’s destination must be a river. I just need to keep going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, watching my livestream makes wilderness survival seem easy—but alone, the biggest enemy isn’t the outside world—it’s loneliness. I act calm because you’re all here with me. With someone to talk to, I never feel lonely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you’re alone in the wild for long, with no one to speak to, controlling your own negative hormonal emotions becomes critical. Everyone’s read Robinson Crusoe—without Friday, would Crusoe have survived? After all, humans are social creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another two hours of walking, Qin Yun’s ears twitched. He spoke to the drone: “Friends, I think I hear running water. Maybe we can change our approach soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurried toward the sound. After about ten minutes, a river came into view—narrow at first, barely one person wide, then widening to two. As he advanced, the channel broadened further, and the current grew swift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun stroked his chin, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the surroundings: “I need to keep going. If conditions allow, we might take the water route—it’s faster than trekking through forest. But water travel carries a huge risk: steep cliffs. Put simply, I suspect this river ends in a waterfall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Master Qin, swimming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True—water route is much faster than forest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you find humans today, will the livestream end? Please don’t!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stick to the trail, streamer—I don’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun walked farther, then veered away from the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To use the water route, we need a raft. Swimming alone won’t work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In Daxinganling, fallen wood is everywhere—but not all is suitable. Best is larch, but I have no tools. So I’ll settle for birch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the thickness and length—I don’t need to process them. Just find two or three of the right size, then bind them with vines.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My goal isn’t to build a luxury raft—just something to float downstream. Simple and functional is enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun selected three birch logs, dragged them to the riverbank, lined them side by side, then placed three thinner branches across them in three sections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“China has countless knot types—if you’re interested, look them up. Here, I’m using the cross-lash method. Simple and secure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wove the vines back and forth; in moments, one end of the raft was secured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, learned something new.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Qin’s educational content is unbeatable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Respect for your knowledge—you know everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cool—giving the streamer a like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun watched comments, then used the same method to secure the other two cross-branches. But it wasn’t enough—he had to wrap the three bottom logs together, so the raft wouldn’t break apart under water pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clapped his hands, smiling at the raft: “Done. Now I’ll test if it floats. I don’t need much—just enough to hold me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged one end toward the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the raft fully entered the water, he grabbed a stick, leapt lightly, and stood atop it. The current wasn’t fierce—he wobbled slightly, then stabilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He studied the raft: it sank slightly, then stopped sinking. He relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t move immediately. He waited. Minutes passed—the raft still floated. He smiled, waving at the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friends, success! I’m naming it—Titanic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft—your name’s bad luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Streamer’s getting cocky. How about ‘Sink-Qin’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wish Master Qin hits an iceberg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun poked the stick underwater—the raft began moving, drifting slowly downstream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Departure, Titanic.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2d2ce7ac7d6ae064be9022a86198f4814c8534da772408993dfabc804489eab5","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-62","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-60",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
