Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness

Covering his nose, he pushed aside the underbrush.

Bi Fang promptly entered a code in the live stream room to avoid causing discomfort, and prodded with a stick.

It wasn’t dry, quite fresh.

[Is this... bear poop?]

[It’s much smaller, could it be wolf’s?]

[Didn’t Master Fang say there are no wolves in Japan? Must be dog’s then.]

[Feels like it’s from a deer...]

Seeing the barrage of comments, Bi Fang almost rolled his eyes.

So all his previous teachings had been in vain.

Stabbing the ground with his spear, Bi Fang yelled, "People! This is human feces! Don’t you even know what your own usually looks like?"]

[Ah, this...]

[Scratches head...]

[Awkward...]

[Teacher Fang, I was wrong, please punish me harshly (taking off shirt)]

[Nantong, roll away]

Most of the audience in the live stream room fell silent, only a small part mocked the "Fang scholars" who had been seriously analyzing earlier.

Even though it was July, the postgraduate entrance exam students had chosen to stay at school. In the dormitory, Wu Gang lowered his head in shame.

Because he had really thought it was dog feces, he even bet a pack of spicy strips with his roommate.

As a result, not only did he lose the spicy strips, but he also faced the relentless ridicule of his roommate: "And you study biology? You’re always the most active in watching the live stream, but you don’t even know what your own looks like, haha!"]

Bi Fang held his head, feeling like he had encountered a group of students who endlessly analyze and calculate even something as simple as one plus one. He had to patiently explain again.

"I’ve told you, black bears are omnivores. In this season, their feces are often loose, without a fixed shape, and mixed with seeds from plants."

"Deer feces are generally oval in shape, often around 1.5 cm in diameter—the larger the pellets, the larger the deer."

"Normally, deer feces appear as black scattered pellets. However, in the summer and autumn seasons when food is aplenty, they consume a large amount of high-moisture food such as apples, berries, carrots, etc., which causes the feces pellets to stick together."

"During the winter when food is scarce, they feed on high-fiber foods like branches and bark, making their feces scattered in pellets, hard in texture, and lighter in color."

Bi Fang scrolled through the comments and explained all the controversial points one by one.

The bigger the capacity, the bigger the tasks one can handle.

Similarly, the larger the size, the more feces one produces.

The principle is the same, simple and easy to understand.

"As for dogs, dogs and coyotes are similar, also omnivores. The shape and color of their feces are greatly influenced by their diet.

Wild dogs and coyotes prey on animals that are sized between wolves and foxes, primarily feeding on rodents, rabbits, or smaller deer."

"Their feces are generally less than 2.5 cm in diameter and no longer than 10 cm in length. Due to their diet, they consume more moisture, which makes the surface of their feces smoother and more rounded compared to wolves’, with a tapered end and a little pointed tip."

"They often contain animal hair, bone fragments, undigested seeds of fruits or berries, or remnants of fruits. Dry feces usually turn white."

"I’ve also talked about wolves before. Their feces are generally larger, with similar characteristics to dogs, but tend to be darker in color, mainly due to consuming fresh blood from the meat of their prey."

"As for human’s..."

Bi Fang sighed. He didn’t want to explain much anymore: "Please do me a favor and take a good look next time before you flush. Note down the characteristics. Next time, share them in the comments to see what’s different from others."

[Got it, Teacher Fang!]

[Is this homework for after class? Wuu wuu wuu]

[I’m just squatting in the pit right now]

[What a stinky barrage, I can’t accept it]

[Why are there people here, are they other hunters?]

An audience member expressed doubt, as this place was deep within the forest, where human footprints were rare, and with black bears rampant, locals hardly dared to enter.

Just as Bi Fang had said, black bears have a strong sense of territory, and it might still be their mating and breeding season, where their desire to attack is particularly strong.

Even professional hunters usually avoid such black bears, let alone ordinary people.

"Black bears are basically solitary animals, only meeting with the opposite sex during mating season, and they may search for food together, so, during the mating season, hunters are very cautious, because it’s very possible to provoke more than two large black bears at once."

If armed and prepared in advance, one bear could still be considered huntable.

But if two black bears attack at the same time, one should think about how to escape quickly.

Because at that time, the hunted wouldn’t be the black bears, but you.

And this is true even if you’re armed with a gun!

"Black bear mating seasons vary by region, with those living in Polar Bear Country typically mating in June to July each year, and the young are usually born from December to the following March."

"Those living in Bayastan generally mate in October, with cubs typically born around February of the following year."

"This situation is mainly due to latitude reasons, with sunlight and food being the key factors in black bears deciding whether to breed."

"In Japan, it’s roughly every summer, so the Japanese Government increases its publicity efforts during this time every year, to prevent villagers near forests from entering the mountains, as the black bears are very dangerous at that time."

Just think about those teenage boys who start flexing in their youth, behaving very emotionally to show off in front of girls they like.

They like to show off their strength, and the simplest way is through displays of power.

Therefore, they may quarrel over trivial matters and even escalate to fighting.

This is actually a biological instinct, during the spirited, *enlightenment stage, controlled by hormones within the body, deliberately displayed as a means.

And this is with teachers and school rules holding them down.

Lacking rational thought, driven purely by instinct, and with no legal constraints, black bears behave even more so, and anyone daring to disturb their mating...

Who would dare enter deep into the forest at such times? Those encountered now are mostly with the same purpose in mind.

"Other hunters maybe?"

Bi Fang stood up, looking around. The stench in the air was too overpowering, so strong that it concealed the scent of the visitors. Although the feces were relatively fresh, they had not just appeared, and time had allowed their odor to spread continuously.

This made it somewhat difficult for Bi Fang to search.

He couldn’t tell if the individual who left these traces had gone far or not.

[Come to think of it, haven’t really seen anyone live streaming this, have I?]

[Isn’t that obvious?]

[I’ll ban them if they dare to stream]

[Anyone here in the same area as Old Fang, let’s all think about it]

[Damn, haven’t really watched other people’s live streams, I’ve spent so much time watching Old Fang]

[Mugalen, eh? Is this Mugalen’s doing? No, that doesn’t seem right, it doesn’t feel like him, and his location seems quite far from Old Fang’s, wait, isn’t Bosen also here?]

[Holy shit. That second-ranked guy?]

The audience suddenly remembered a formidable person who had killed a black bear even larger than the one Old Fang faced.

"The second-ranked Bosen?"

Bi Fang’s ears perked up. He hadn’t paid attention to the movements of other hunters; had Bosen chosen the same spot as him?

While he was puzzled, a figure carrying a large crossbow appeared behind some nearby trees, muttering as he walked, "I really wonder if your soul is as big as mine, when I was twenty-five, I still didn’t know which farm I was feeding horses on!"
