Chapter 2

In the far distance, the dark silhouettes of mountain ranges were visible.

Everything began to shift from the city to the suburbs, drawing closer to nature.

A comment appeared:

[I don't know why, but deep down I actually like this feeling. I've always had a dream: to be alone, far from the noise, just staying on the road without thinking about anything else. But I know I'll never get that chance in this life. I envy the streamer.]

The appearance of this comment.

Made others who were watching but too lazy to post comments.

Suddenly feel a sense of resonance.

A comment said:

[Then you've come to the right stream. Maybe this is also the wish of this talkative streamer.]

[Do you think he'll keep driving like this forever?]

[Driving is a mission.]

[Right, right, right. Driving is a mission (wry face).]

[To be honest, the streamer is quite handsome. Actually, I quite like men who are handsome but speak little. Men are more charming when they are a bit deep.]

[The problem is, he doesn't just speak little; he doesn't speak at all, okay?!]

[Alright...]

Thus, midnight passed.

The number of people in the live stream began to decrease.

Finally, only a handful remained.

The stream had no intention of stopping.

This streamer showed no sign of speaking either.

Even when several comments said goodnight to him, he gave no response whatsoever.

Thus, it continued until dawn.

Morning.

The number of viewers in the live stream slowly increased again, approaching the 100 mark.

A comment appeared:

[Holy cow! Brother Shiguang! You've been driving all night?!]

For a long time, no one responded.

After a while, a comment finally appeared:

[Yes, he drove all night. I played games all night last night, kept my phone beside me, and stayed in his stream the whole time. He kept driving...]

[He hasn't said a single word?]

[More than just not speaking; he hasn't even been to the toilet, just kept driving.]

[Wow...]

But things were not that simple.

From morning to noon, the live stream named "Shiguang".

Continued broadcasting.

Then came the afternoon.

Night.

Then came 10 PM!

The stream was still going!

During this period, some viewers suspected it was a recording.

But during that time, the streamer did drink water, occasionally stopped the car, went to the restroom, then continued driving, and even ate bread along the way.

All of this proved.

This was not a recording.

This was indeed a live stream!

This guy named "Shiguang" had, since starting the stream last night, been broadcasting non-stop.

He had already streamed for over twenty-five hours!

Currently, the record for non-stop streaming in China's live streaming industry is nineteen hours!

This guy had directly broken the domestic record for non-stop streaming!

For a moment, although the number of viewers in the stream was still not large, the comments became extremely numerous.

Perhaps because the three-camera setup of this new stream had already attracted the attention and favor of the backend staff at Shark Live.

And now, this streamer Shiguang, in his very first broadcast, had directly broken the domestic record for streaming duration.

So, this wave.

Even just for the sake of his diligence.

Had to be pushed forward!

In this day and age, young and diligent new streamers are too rare!

At 10:01 PM.

A homepage announcement suddenly appeared on both the web and mobile versions of Shark Live:

[Shiguang's stream has broadcast non-stop for over 25 hours. The record for the longest streaming duration in China has been born on Shark Live!]

4. The interior of the RV comes into view; the audience gets excited.

After this announcement.

In an instant.

Thousands surged into the Shiguang live stream.

Immediately, the online viewer count shot up to eight thousand.

Undeniably, this announcement drove traffic with incredible force!

After all, Shark Live is one of the mainstream domestic streaming platforms, and its traffic volume is already substantial.

The announcement appeared on the homepage, syncing across both web and mobile, so the traffic surge was naturally fierce.

The original two or three hundred viewers in the Shiguang live stream.

Were left utterly stunned by this sudden influx.

[Whoa, why did so many people suddenly come in?]

[Damn! So many people all of a sudden? Get out, all of you!]

[What's going on? Did they break a record?]

[Is this a live stream of someone driving?]

[Is the streamer driving?]

[I heard they broke the domestic duration record, so I clicked right in. Turns out it's a truck driver, but the guy is pretty handsome.]

[Driving a damn truck? That's an RV, a multi-million-dollar RV, got it?]

[Huh? An RV? Is this a travel live stream?]

[I heard they're going to watch a meteor shower. This streamer is crazy; there haven't been any meteor showers recently.]

[I was drawn in by the announcement too.]

[Streamer, say hello to the new viewers, will you? Show your face to your sister; I think your profile looks very handsome~~]

[Shiguang, I really like that name.]

[You guys should leave quickly. This streamer doesn't like to talk and hates noise. You should leave.]

The bullet comments were sparse, not particularly numerous.

The online viewer count broke ten thousand.

But.

This Shiguang streamer did not say a single word.

It was as if this sudden surge in popularity had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even look directly at the camera.

[This streamer is so cold.]

[Only a rich second-generation heir could afford an RV like this. Does he think he's like those other streamers who act grateful for a few gifts?]

Our brother Shiguang is rich; he's just streaming for fun. Your meager gift money wouldn't even cover his gas.

To be honest, Dongguo people don't deceive Dongguo people. Sister, I like his profile.

Sigh, this so-called sister, have you had enough? A woman, can't you be more reserved?

Yes, I just saw you comment on the streamer's profile, and now you say this? So desperate?

Screw you! I just like handsome young meat, so what?

Fine, a moment ago you were "sister," and a woman three years older can still hug a gold brick; now you're straight up "old lady." That's a generation gap. Even if you have feelings, the streamer has no interest.

Hahaha, can you guys stop being so funny? Such a quiet streamer, how did he end up with a bunch of glib viewers like you?

Haha! We'll chat our way, anyway Brother Shiguang ignores us.

Right, right, right. We'll chat our way; let's just treat this as a chat room.

A chat room? You've exposed your age, Auntie...

I notice there are quite a few female viewers; are they all here to see the handsome guy?

Just like that.

In the bullet comments.

Some said the streamer was aloof.

Some said the streamer's profile was handsome.

Some discussed the value of this motorhome.

And yet.

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 just a gimmick by a new streamer to draw traffic.

Nothing unusual about the behavior.

The viewers didn't care either.

Inside the motorhome.

Ning Chen's eyes were already bloodshot.

From last night until now, driving east nonstop for over twenty-five hours.

No rest at all.

Severe fatigue driving!

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

Ahead, the traces of mountains grew ever more distinct.

That was the silhouette of Dongba Mountain near the coast.

The system mission had.

A time limit.

He had to reach the navigation destination within four days.

Otherwise, he would miss that meteor shower.

But since the system gave such a timeframe, it meant that as long as he drove at a reasonable speed, time would be more than sufficient.

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

He could barely feel his body's exhaustion.

His spirit grew more and more excited.

But...

He really needed to rest.

Otherwise, severe fatigue driving.

Was not only irresponsible to himself, but even more so to others.

Approaching a small county town.

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

Past this county town, signs of human habitation would be hard to see again.

Ning Chen pulled the motorhome over.

The moment he stopped, the system's voice appeared in his mind:

[Detected host traveling at full speed to the check-in location.]

[Greatly exceeding the system navigation's estimated time. Detecting host's current needs; granting one extra reward.]

[Reward: One ginseng root, already stored in the motorhome refrigerator.]

[Function: Can nourish the spirit, replenish qi, and build up strength.]

Hearing this voice, Ning Chen paused.

Oh, sounds pretty good.

He turned, left the cockpit, and entered the rear rest area.

This way.

The interior area of the motorhome was finally revealed in the live stream.

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

Over eleven thousand online viewers was a miracle for a new account that had just started broadcasting.

Although, this number of online viewers was nothing to mention to those bigger streamers.

But, as the luxurious area inside the motorhome began to appear on the live broadcast screen.

The Shiguang live stream also grew slightly livelier.

[Holy crap! There's actually a master bedroom?]

[Oh my! This space is so huge? And it's all fully upholstered in soft leather?]

[Damn! There's even a wine cabinet?]

[The world of the wealthy 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 rage at heaven's injustice!]

[Finally seeing his face, he's indeed so handsome!! I love him...]

5. Wild Mountain 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 placed the noodle block into a bowl.

Poured boiling water over it...

This action.

sparked discussion among the live stream's viewers.

[Driving an RV worth tens of millions, eating instant noodles?]

[Do the wealthy now enjoy experiencing commoner lifestyles?]

[Brother Shiguang! Where are your sea cucumbers? Where are your lobsters? Bring them out! We won't snatch them!]

[Yes, we won't snatch them, we'll just drool a bit...]

As the comments scrolled.

In the live stream footage.

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 noodle crumbs from the bag into his mouth...

Then, crunch, crunch, he chewed.

Even more bizarrely, the sound seemed so crisp and fragrant...

This act of thrift and diligence.
