Chapter 319: No. 1 Live Stream Reopened!

“Squeak! Squeak!”

In the instant the lynx kitten dashed out, the mice outside instantly panicked, emitting terrified squeals.

Clearly, the winter tent had blocked the lynx kitten’s scent, allowing the mice to approach Xiao Yi’s camp.

Now that the lynx kitten suddenly burst out, how could the mice not notice? How could they not be terrified? After all, lynxes are at least a kind of large cat.

Natural enemy of mice!

At the very moment Xiao Yi stepped out, the lynx kitten was already in pursuit, heading straight for the spot where Xiao Yi had dumped the deer meat stew.

Clearly, the mice had smelled the deer meat stew and come searching for scraps to fill their bellies.

But they hadn’t expected a large cat to be living right here.

The moment the mice saw the lynx kitten, they abandoned all thought of the discarded meat and bolted for the distance.

The lynx kitten’s speed was naturally faster; though initially a distance away from the three mice, it steadily closed the gap.

Seeing the “big cat” chasing them, the three mice immediately split up and fled in different directions.

The lynx kitten, witnessing this, hesitated, unsure which mouse to chase.

Then, the lynx kitten went after the fattest mouse, the one running to the left.

Xiao Yi, watching this through the drone’s light, shook his head and muttered, “Greed isn’t good.”

Clearly, chasing the mouse running left wasn’t the best choice.

Because terrain-wise, the left side had the most protruding branches, severely limiting the lynx kitten’s speed and giving the mouse plenty of hiding spots—possibly even a burrow right there.

Once that mouse slipped into its burrow, it would be far harder to catch.

If the lynx kitten were truly clever and experienced, the best choice would be to chase the mouse running straight ahead.

Because that mouse was closest to it to begin with, and its escape path was wide open flatland—catching it was only a matter of time.

Perhaps that fleeing mouse was even deliberately running that way, resigned to death.

After all, this wilderness was brutal and cold; if mice were to avoid total annihilation, they had to be willing to sacrifice themselves at critical moments.

But none of the three mice had expected to meet a dumb “cat” today.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Yi had predicted, the left-running mouse soon vanished from the lynx kitten’s sight.

The lynx kitten, momentarily losing its target, stopped before a tree hollow, sniffing repeatedly—clearly, this was the mouse’s burrow.

Then it kept pawing at the hole, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t catch the mouse.

“Mmm! Mmm!”

The lynx kitten then walked back dejectedly to Xiao Yi’s side.

But it was only disappointment—it didn’t truly care.

In the lynx kitten’s eyes, chasing the mouse had been more about instinct and playfulness.

It thought this way because it had never known hunger, never been beaten by nature’s harshness, and thus lacked proper respect for prey.

But Xiao Yi noticed the problem—he now dared to confirm: he had truly spoiled it.

If he released it now, the little thing wouldn’t survive more than a few days—most likely, it would starve to death.

Since the problem was found, correcting it now wasn’t too late.

So Xiao Yi decided: for the next dozen days, he’d make the little thing fend for itself.

Only if it truly starved to death would he intervene to save it.

Of course, training this little one would also add some variety to his monotonous journey.

Afterward, Xiao Yi ignored the lynx kitten and turned to sleep inside the tent.

Seeing Xiao Yi ignore it, the lynx kitten grew even more dejected, then followed Xiao Yi back into the tent.

The night passed without incident; when Xiao Yi woke, daylight had returned.

It was now the eighty-fourth day since Xiao Yi had arrived in this wilderness, and the next ten million was not far off.

…

…

“Roar! Roar!”

The drone’s noise stirred Black Egg, who was resting in the cave, making it recognize a familiar sound.

It roared twice, then dashed outside to investigate.

When Black Egg saw the drone flying overhead, it grew ecstatic and began searching everywhere.

This flying oddity Black Egg recognized—it had always hovered above Xiao Yi’s head.

Seeing this, Black Egg believed Xiao Yi had returned for it—how could it not be thrilled?

At the same time, Dog Egg sensed something odd and stepped out of the cave; when it saw the drone overhead, its eyes filled with confusion.

It then scanned the surroundings, but Xiao Yi’s figure did not reappear.

“Roar!”

Black Egg, meanwhile, ran back, its cries tinged with disappointment—it hadn’t found the familiar figure.

The drone flying overhead was none other than the newly reactivated No. 1 Live Stream.

After Li Yong made his decision yesterday, the assistant immediately began implementing it.

First, they announced on the official website that No. 1 Live Stream would be reactivated to exclusively film Black Egg and Dog Egg’s daily lives.

The production team planned to make a documentary about Arctic black bears, with Black Egg and Dog Egg as the subjects.

Upon hearing this news, the previously noisy netizens on the website quieted down considerably, with many expressing support.

Of course, some voiced opposition.

After all, a portion of people still wished to see the two bears with Xiao Yi.

They didn’t just want to see the bears alone—but the supporters outnumbered them.

After a night of buzz, the matter was effectively settled, hence the scene just now.

“Here it is, here it is—the live stream’s finally open!”

“Support Black Egg and Dog Egg!”

“We’ve long needed a separate live stream for Black Egg and Dog Egg!”

“The production team finally did something right!”

“Black Egg’s roar sounded so mournful—did it think Xiao Shen had come back?”

“Black Egg, don’t pay attention to that heartless bastard!”

“But is this really okay? Filming will disturb the two bears’ hibernation.”

“True—right now, Dog Egg and Black Egg have food left by Xiao Shen, so short-term hibernation isn’t urgent—but what after the food runs out?”

“Jinguang Sanqianchi gifted the No. 1 Live Stream a mysterious spaceship—please give Black Egg and Dog Egg an extra meal. Is this enough?”

“Three People, Two Pairs gifted the No. 1 Live Stream a Dark Elf—I’m adding an egg for Black Egg and Dog Egg too!”

“Dongpo Master gifted the No. 1 Live Stream a Celestial Angel—how could we let Dog Egg and Black Egg starve with us here?”

…

…

Immediately after the No. 1 Live Stream reopened, a flood of viewers poured in.

Within just half an hour, five million viewers were online simultaneously.

If Wu De Kain, Jiang Yiyi, Zhong Yicheng, and others saw this, they would surely cry.

After all, they had worked so hard on this show, yet their live stream’s viewership had never surpassed that of the two bears.
