Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Chapter 509: Chapter 506: Forbidden Zone Hunter’s Tooth Care Manual

“`

Special Forces and Forbidden Zone Hunters have commonalities, but at their core, they are completely different!

The so-called Special Forces refer to military units tasked with special operations, typical examples include Marine Corps, airborne troops, and armed police special forces.

They are special military units in some of the world’s armies, tasked with the mission of destroying significant political, economic, and military targets of the enemy and carrying out other special tasks.

Individual combat capabilities are extremely strong, fitting to complete combat missions under various adverse conditions.

But fundamentally, they are still soldiers, following orders, carrying out highly targeted tactical tasks, working in teams, using tactical explosives, deciphering, sniping.

Forbidden Zone Hunters encompass Special Forces skills, with all the above skills and more, but their unique characteristics and development focuses are completely different.

They are no longer soldiers but more like warriors.

It’s akin to the difference between ancient Roman soldiers and gladiators in the arena.

A thousand elite soldiers arrayed in formation against a thousand fierce gladiators would end with the defeat of the gladiators.

However, in a duel between a single elite soldier and a gladiator, the winner will certainly be the gladiator.

The mere addition of skills in the mind makes it clear, with proficiency in melee weapons, hand-to-hand combat, handling injuries, pain endurance, knowledge of beast weak points, mastery of firearms…

Special Forces may know a bit about melee weapons, but primarily knife training, with the focus still on firearms, far from the use of swords, spears, clubs, staffs.

From being one of the wolves or lions, one becomes a solitary tiger.

This is how Bi Fang felt, in the absence of firearms, he was fiercer, better in combat, more suited for a loner like himself in the wilderness.

He had had Special Forces skills for so long without ever touching a gun, and the best part of the overlapping skills is that the original skills don’t disappear, now Bi Fang can be said to possess the strengths of both.

Alone he is the fierce tiger, together they are a pride of lions.

He felt that now he could take on ten men!

Cough cough, that’s an exaggeration.

After all, this is still the real world, not the Ip Man Movie Universe.

A Special Forces soldier can handle 3-4 ordinary people at the same time, which is quite impressive, originally against poachers, he had to rely on wilderness skills and the terrain to perform extraordinarily, separating and overcoming them individually.

After becoming a Forbidden Zone Hunter, Bi Fang felt that he should now be able to take on about 6-7, or even as exaggerated as 8, being a little superhero, a mini movie-version Ip Man.

Don’t find it unbelievable or look down on it, humans after all are composed of bones and muscles, not titanium alloy and hydraulic devices. Even in professional boxing matches, they make a division every three kilograms, which is quite telling.

Before the livestream, Bi Fang was still in the light heavyweight category, but after a single livestream session, he lost four kilograms, bypassing the super middleweight and directly dropping to middleweight.

And this is a group attack, how many people can surround one person?

If they come at him one by one, then the number depends on the stamina.

With joint strengthening, plus being a Forbidden Zone Hunter, Bi Fang feels his strength has gone up another level, a qualitative difference, in hand-to-hand combat, few in the Special Forces would be a match for him now.

“But what will my identity change to?”

Bi Fang remembered clearly that he had used an Identity Change Coupon on the Special Forces skill, and it was permanent, changing with skill upgrades; at the blue stage, he was a normal Special Forces soldier, but at the purple stage, he gained the identity of an outstanding graduate of Hunter Academy.

An outstanding Hunter Academy graduate was already impressive enough, so what would it be now?

Bi Fang was curious, but his attention was soon captured by the remaining Item Tank.

The Hunter Coupon and Joint Coupon had already brought enough surprises, he was ready to accept whatever else the Item Tank revealed, but unexpectedly, the System still proved to be amazingly generous.

As if hearing his heart’s desire, with the tank cracking open, an Item Coupon he had fantasized about back in the Banna Rainforest appeared.

[Tooth Remodeling Coupon (Note: Requires substantial calcium supplementation during use)]

…

Eight o’clock in the evening.

There was no alcohol, just a regular dinner, with a feast of Banna specialties on the table, many of which Bi Fang had eaten in the wild, such as stinky vegetables, and even porcini mushrooms.

“Is this porcini mushroom cooked?” Bi Fang, holding the porcini, was hesitant to eat it.

This thing is poisonous…

If it’s not fully cooked, it can cause hallucinations, making one see little people everywhere, known as ‘Little People Country Hallucination.’

Every year, a large number of Yunnan people end up in the hospital thinking they can eat this.

If Bi Fang had cooked it himself, he’d be a bit more confident, but at a dining spot for the sake of guaranteeing a particular texture, they wouldn’t stew it to mush.

Director Zhou laughed heartily: “Master Fang, is there anything you dare not eat? You can eat grubs raw until they burst, what’s a mushroom? Porcini is extremely delicious! Not to be missed, rest assured, it’s been sliced very thinly, look, it’s translucent, just one stir and it’s done!”

I want to be clear about what I’m eating, that’s why I make sure of it.

Bi Fang thought to himself with an internal monologue.

But it’s hard to decline such kindness, and indeed, porcini is a rare delicacy. He decided to take the risk!

He continued eating until ten o’clock, Bi Fang arrived on an empty stomach and left with a belly full.

Fortunately, he ate quickly and digested quickly too, otherwise he really wouldn’t have room for all this food, managing to eat everything clean.

Director Zhou and the other colleagues watched with trepidation, after all, they were intellectuals, not used to eating that much grease. Suddenly consuming too much can be risky of bloating to death. Hosting a dinner was a way of expressing the host’s politeness and gratitude, not a plot for murder!

But Bi Fang waved his hand, saying it was fine while eagerly continuing to eat and drinking milk on the side.

As for why he needed to drink milk.

“Teeth cleaning?”

Zhou Weisheng found it rather strange. It wasn’t that Bi Fang’s transformation after a bath was shocking—he had seen this when Bi Fang first arrived. Besides a darker skin tone, there wasn’t much difference.

But something seemed off, and it wasn’t until the end of the meal that he realized what it was.

That guy’s teeth are so white!

Just like they’re brand new!

Did he get his teeth cleaned?

Zhou Weisheng picked up a piece of fish, deep in thought.

Indeed, he had watched Bi Fang’s wilderness live streams. Brushing teeth involved chewing on twigs and then chewing on some plants with antiseptic properties and the ability to freshen breath. Though effective, it certainly couldn’t compare to modern toothpaste and toothbrushes. A teeth cleaning after a live stream made perfect sense.

Yep, that was logical.

Seeing how good his teeth whitening results were, Zhou Weisheng was also tempted. He smoked, which left his teeth yellow with black stains, a constant source of complaint from his wife.

After dinner, he couldn’t hold back and asked Bi Fang which dental clinic he had visited.

“Ah, ah, this, well, this…”

Bi Fang bit on a milk straw, taken aback by Zhou Weisheng’s question. He wondered when he had gotten his teeth cleaned, then suddenly understood and didn’t know how to explain.

The Tooth Remodeling Coupon—Bi Fang originally thought it was for fixing a few cavities.

Who the hell knew it meant replacing them all!

When Bi Fang watched in the mirror, his old teeth were pushed out bit by bit by the new growth, slowly falling from the gums, and with a crisp sound, dropped into the sink stained with blood.

The scene was incredibly shocking, so much so that it was like something out of a horror movie.

And the more calcium he took, the faster they grew…

That afternoon, Bi Fang, dreading the thought of attending the evening banquet with a set of baby teeth, spent the entire afternoon in his hotel room, eating calcium tablets like meals with pure milk.

Strangely enough, as soon as those things entered his stomach, it seemed they were digested, then continuously supplied to the skull, visibly growing the gums.

By the time he was ready for his appointment, except for a few back molars which were a bit short, the rest had grown in perfectly—twenty-eight in total, all uniform, without any wisdom teeth.

Touching his cheek, Bi Fang even felt that the shape of his face had changed, completely eliminating the space for wisdom teeth.

Ancient apes and early humans directly acquired their food from nature, unprocessed, and these foods were very tough and coarse, such as branches, plant tubers, and animal muscles and tendons. Chewing required a lot of strength and a larger grinding surface area.

In that scenario, large jawbones were necessary to withstand the force of chewing food, and wisdom teeth were present and functional to increase chewing efficiency.

If you observe the jawbones of ancient humans or other primates, you’ll find that compared to modern humans, their jawbones are larger, with greater buccal-lingual widths, and increased mesiodistal lengths.

Sufficient jaw space is needed to accommodate wisdom teeth, with few instances of the impaction issues commonly seen in modern humans.

But as humans began to use fire and developed tools, processed foods, along with developments in farming and husbandry, made food increasingly more refined. Wisdom teeth became unnecessary; three molars were enough, and the fourth was superfluous.

In this evolutionary process, humans needed larger brain capacities for more complex thinking, eliminating the need for strong jawbones. Increased brain capacity became the direction of evolution.

Generation after generation of natural selection caused human brain capacities to increase while jaw widths decreased, lengths shortened, and overall jaw strength diminished. There was a clear regression in size.

To put it figuratively, it’s like a dog’s head growing larger while the snout gets shorter…

The lack of space leads to wisdom teeth often having various problems when emerging, such as ectopic growth or impaction, necessitating extraction.

In any case, it’s all for the best.

Those with perfectly growing wisdom teeth usually have a large face…

But where exactly did this third set of teeth come from? Bi Fang was very curious about that.

From birth to death, humans only have two sets of teeth—baby teeth and permanent teeth, and the permanent teeth were there from the start, only emerging later. It’s impossible to get an extra set out of nowhere.

Otherwise, under an X-ray, that would drive someone insane on the spot.

This, only the System might know, right?

Bi Fang was quite satisfied with his new set of teeth, strong enough to break pork bones with a bite. But what should this third set be called? Iron teeth, copper jaw?

However, Zhou Weisheng’s question wasn’t easy to answer. If he mentioned a random clinic and Zhou also went, asking around only to discover he had never been there, what then?

Bi Fang could only deny it, and as for why they turned white, maybe it’s because he brushed them really clean.

Zhou Weisheng’s mouth twitched skeptically. Could brushing really do that?@@novelbin@@

“Director Zhou smokes, right? It would be good to have your teeth cleaned.”

“I heard that tooth gaps widen and they use steel brushes…” Zhou Weisheng said, which was why he took an interest after seeing Bi Fang’s teeth.

“Who told you that? Tooth gaps only widen from too much tartar blocking the space or from swollen gums, it’s unrelated to the teeth themselves. There are only benefits, and any clinic will do the same.”

“All right…”

The two engaged in a bizarre conversation about teeth before heading their separate ways.

Back at the hotel, Bi Fang picked up his phone, which was now fully charged. It had been over twenty days, and the phone’s battery had completely drained. After plugging it in that afternoon, Bi Fang hadn’t checked it again, as he was busy tallying his gains and… taking calcium.

When he turned it back on, the logo lit up, and after a moment’s wait, even before the screen came alive, one black notification bar after another jumped out, filling the entire screen.

All missed call alerts!

“Jerret? Why is he so eager to contact me?”
