Chapter 5

"Our Brother Shiguang has money; he's just streaming for fun. The value of your gifts wouldn't even cover his fuel costs."

"To be honest, people from Dong Country don't lie to people from Dong Country; sister, I really like his profile."

"Hey, you who call yourself 'sister,' have you had enough? Can't a woman be a bit more reserved?"

"Exactly, I just saw you praising the streamer's profile, and now you're saying it again; are you that desperate?"

"Screw you! So what if this old lady likes handsome young meat?"

"Well, well, a moment ago you were 'sister'—a woman three years older is still a brick of gold to hold—but now you've suddenly become 'old lady,' skipping a generation; even if you have feelings, the streamer certainly doesn't."

"Hahaha, can you guys stop being so funny? How can such a quiet streamer have a bunch of glib viewers like you?"

"Haha! We'll just chat among ourselves; anyway, Brother Shiguang isn't paying attention to us."

"Right, right, right, let's just chat amongst ourselves and pretend this is a chat room."

"A chat room? You've just revealed your age, auntie..."

"I've noticed there are quite a few female viewers; did they all come to see the handsome guy?"

And so it went.

On the bullet screen.

Some said the streamer was aloof.

Some said the streamer's profile was handsome.

Some commented on the value of this RV.

Yet still.

No one was interested in whether there would be a meteor shower.

Because there was no need to be interested.

Everyone was convinced this was merely a gimmick created by a new streamer to attract traffic.

It was behavior nothing found strange.

The viewers didn't care either.

Inside the RV.

Ning Chen's eyes were already bloodshot.

From last night until now, driving eastward without stopping, he had been behind the wheel for over twenty-five hours.

Without any rest.

Severe fatigued driving!

The navigation showed they had already passed several prefecture-level cities, numerous county towns, and countless villages.

Ahead, the outlines of mountain ranges grew increasingly distinct.

That was the silhouette of the coastal Bashan Mountains.

In the system mission.

There was a time limit.

He had to reach the navigation destination within four days.

Otherwise, he would miss that meteor shower.

But since the system had allotted such time, it meant that traveling at a reasonable speed would certainly leave more than enough time.

Yet Ning Chen's inner anticipation grew stronger and stronger.

He simply could not feel his body's exhaustion.

His spirit became increasingly exhilarated.

But...

He really had to rest for a while.

Otherwise, with such severe fatigued driving.

It would be irresponsible not only to himself but even more so to others.

He approached a small county town.

This was the last county town before entering the destination area.

Once past this county town, signs of human habitation would be rare to see.

Ning Chen pulled the RV over.

Just as he stopped, a voice from the system appeared in his mind:

【Detected that the host is traveling at full speed toward the check-in location】

【Greatly exceeding the system navigation's estimated time; detecting the host's current needs; awarding one extra bonus】

【Reward: One ginseng root, stored in the RV refrigerator】

【Function: Can replenish the spirit, nourish the Qi, and store up energy】

Hearing this, Ning Chen paused.

Oh, that sounds pretty good.

He turned, left the driving cabin, and entered the rest area at the rear.

In doing so.

The interior area of the RV was finally revealed to the live stream.

Originally, the number of online viewers in Brother Shiguang's live stream was over eleven thousand.

For a newly launched account, having over eleven thousand online viewers was a miracle.

Although, for those bigger streamers, this number of online viewers was not worth mentioning at all.

However, as the luxurious interior of the RV began to appear on the live broadcast screen.

Shiguang's live stream also grew slightly livelier.

【Holy crap! There's actually a master bedroom?】

【Oh my! The space is this big? And all soft-leather wrapped?】

【Damn! There's even a wine cabinet?】

【The world of the rich is truly unimaginable...】

【I thought this RV might be worth at most a million, but now I'd believe it's worth tens of millions!】

【This streamer is so rich; I previously thought he was just handsome...】

【Just handsome? Hearing that makes me want to kill out of injustice to heaven!】

【Finally seeing his face, he's indeed so handsome!! I like him so much...】

5. Wild ginseng king, in your eyes, is it merely worth tens of thousands?

Just then.

Ning Chen took a bag of instant noodles from his travel bag.

He put the noodle block into a bowl.

Poured boiling water over it...

This action.

sparked discussion among the live stream's netizens.

【Driving a tens-of-millions-level RV, eating instant noodles?】

【Do rich people now fancy experiencing commoner lifestyles?】

【Brother Shiguang! Where's your sea cucumber? Where's your Long Xia? Bring them out! We won't snatch them!】

【Yeah, we won't snatch them, at most we'll just drool...】

As the bullet comments were speaking.

they saw in the live stream footage.

that the streamer actually took the instant noodle bag, from which he had already removed the noodle block.

and held it up.

Tilted his head back.

and poured the instant noodle crumbs from the bag into his mouth...

Then, crunch crunch, he chewed.

Even more ghostly, the sound sounded so crisp and so fragrant...

This act of thrift and diligence.
