Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 209 You mean, I can use a bow?
Leaving aside the various things outside the house.

Unbeknownst to Chen Baiyu, a wilderness advisor outside the door was already tactically drinking water while mentally complaining, "Dude, can't I just avoid this?"

All he knew was that after following Director Wang Zheng into the room, he learned the general process and details of the variety show from him.

First, let's talk about the specific location where this program was held.

It's not as exaggerated as living alone in the wilderness, throwing people directly into the Arctic Circle to face wild animals.

However, the specific places they went to were not simple either.

Heizhugou National Forest Park, widely known both domestically and internationally as "China's Bermuda Triangle" due to its mysterious and unpredictable nature, is one of the most complete and pristine ecological communities in China.

For many years.

Several cases of people and livestock going missing have occurred here.

Whether it's a warlord who stumbled upon this place during a chaotic era or a surveying team stationed by a modern army, whether it's an experienced hunter or a knowledgeable forestry exploration team, whether it's a daring hiker or a pigeon sent out by a scientific expedition program...

There have been corresponding missing persons cases in each of them.

therefore.

This place is rich in legends and unsolved mysteries.

It wasn't until about 14 years later that a scientific research team discovered that there was a 60-kilometer-long geomagnetic anomaly zone in the area due to the presence of a large amount of basalt.

This barely explains part of the reasons for the disappearances of people and livestock caused by communication disruptions and compass malfunctions, but there are still some things that cannot be explained.

then.

Although the provincial government and the forestry bureau verbally claimed to be promoting the development and construction of the Heizhugou Scenic Area, in reality they only designated a portion of the scenic area outside the few hundred square kilometers of primeval forest in Heizhugou.

Most areas remain restricted.

Entry requires strict approval.

In order to generate some buzz, the production team went through multiple applications and approvals to obtain permission to operate in a deeper area of ​​Heizhugou.

Of course.

This is just a variety show, not a particularly hardcore test.

So, when we talk about going deeper, it really just means leaving behind the touristy areas with high foot traffic and venturing a little further inland.

Make sure you're in a place that looks and feels wild enough, but isn't actually that dangerous.

Secondly, there are the specific details of this variety show.

Similar to the hardcore wilderness survival segment, participants in the show will have certain supplies permits and can only bring a limited number of modern supplies selected by the production team.

Then all the guests participating in the program will be placed in Heizhugou for independent wilderness survival, while a professional camera crew, scientific research team and security team will follow and film them.

The guests participating in the program need to survive in the wilderness in front of the camera, using their experience, physical fitness and the modern supplies they carry, and completely solve their problems in all aspects such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Throughout the process, the production team will assign various small tasks, and after the tasks are completed, the production team will issue corresponding score rewards.

Finally, based on the scores, the 50 yuan prize money prepared in advance by the program team will be divided proportionally.

After listening to Director Wang reiterate and explain the rules of the program, Chen Baiyu felt confident.

Although I expected it, I still want to say it's so easy.

Even if he were to live in Heizhugou for a year, even if he were not allowed to bring anything with him, this challenge would be no problem for him at all.

Even if he were to go to the Antarctic wilderness to survive without any clothes, it would still be an incredibly difficult task for Chen Baiyu.

to be honest.

When Chen Baiyu reaches a level of several hundred, he could probably easily survive in the Land of Light. He might even be able to perform a feat like capturing Taro with seven in-and-out attacks, or soaking wild Ultraman in alcohol.

While thinking.

Director Wang Zheng continued, "Why don't we go and choose the supplies we want to bring now? The guests who arrived before you have already made their choices."

Upon hearing this, Chen Baiyu nodded.

He can do without the assistance of modern resources.

But since this step exists, there's no need to be unconventional.

And besides...

He can do without it, but he can't live without it.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zheng immediately led the way, and as he left, he called to the photography team, who hadn't finished packing, to hurry up and follow.

When Chen Baiyu selects supplies later, we also need to film it. This time it's not about being unconventional, but rather that each guest's selection of supplies will definitely be filmed and included in the final video.

Chen Baiyu followed quietly behind, casually browsing through her phone.

then.

He then noticed a message from someone who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

[Lin Xi]: I came across a really popular short drama today, and I saw that you were in it too. Your temperament and image are really great!
[Lin Xi]: I'm currently writing an ensemble novel. Can I include you as a character in it?
hiss……

Why is this guy still here?

After a brief recollection, Chen Baiyu realized that his last chat with this girl ended when his Ultimate Biology account had just become popular, the day he had just finished discussing a cooperation contract with Director Wang Zheng.

At that time, I think I casually retorted with "Communist society is also considered anime" and then ignored it, but I definitely didn't delete him as a friend.

Now he has become popular again because of short dramas.

Lin Xi then tried to get closer to him again.

After a moment of contemplation using his superhuman intelligence, Chen Baiyu skillfully gave a reply with a touch of his uniquely sarcastic style.

【Lili Planting White Elms】: Is this the kind of ensemble piece where everyone starts out happy, joyful, loyal, warm, and harmonious, then they all embark on a fantastical adventure together, shoulder to shoulder, humming songs, only to end up dying one after another, leaving only one who was initially everyone's source of joy, but who returns broken, insane, and forced to survive to guard everyone's graves, occasionally leaning against the tombstones and humming the songs they used to sing together during their youthful adventures?
Chen Baiyu's answer was as bizarre as ever.

Some people, the moment they open their mouths, sound like a seasoned food connoisseur.

It's clear that Chen Baiyu has once again caused the other side's system to crash.

The message "The other party is typing" appeared on WeChat for a long time, but there was still no reply.

See this.

Chen Baiyu chuckled and said no more.

He put his phone back in his pocket because director Wang Zheng and a team of photographers had already led him to another, more spacious room.

The open space and the tables in the middle are piled with all sorts of modern supplies that might be needed for wilderness survival.

Chen Baiyu's gaze swept over the dazzling array of wilderness survival gear in the room.

Tents, sleeping bags, entrenching tools, flint and steel, first-aid blankets, water purifiers, ropes, fishing gear, cookware, multi-tools...

Apart from the lack of direct access to water and food.

The wide variety of tools available is sufficient to meet the basic survival and shelter needs of ordinary people in the wilderness. Compared to surviving in the wilderness with nothing, the initial conditions are much better.

Director Wang Zheng enthusiastically introduced the supplies while also explaining them to the camera lens: "These are all carefully prepared supplies. Considering safety and practicality, each guest can choose three items to bring into Heizhugou."

then.

Seeing that Chen Baiyu was still looking around, he began to introduce the other guests' choices: "Teacher Lin Feng is very experienced and chose an entrenching tool, a flint and steel, and a roll of high-strength paracord. An entrenching tool can be used for digging, chopping, and even as a cooking pot. A flint and steel is reliable for starting a fire. Paracord has a wide range of uses; it can be used to build shelters and make traps."

"Teacher Su Qing prioritizes safety and comfort, choosing a single lightweight tent, a first-aid kit containing basic medicines and a thermal blanket, and a multi-functional survival knife." "The other guests were similar, generally choosing from core tools such as tents, sleeping bags, knives, fire starters, and ropes to ensure basic survival."

After Director Wang finished speaking...

With a hint of barely perceptible expectation in his eyes, he watched Chen Baiyu pace among the piles of supplies.

He was very curious about Chen Baiyu's choice.

I'm also curious whether Chen Baiyu noticed the surprise that their production team specially prepared for her.

Or rather, there's no need to be curious about this.

Because the surprise they prepared for Chen Baiyu was actually quite obvious.

And at this moment.

Chen Baiyu calmly scanned his surroundings.

He completely ignored the mainstream shelter equipment and fire-starting tools.

Although he cannot reveal his fasting state and the fact that he does not need to eat in front of the camera, nor can he reveal his ability to directly ignite fire with fireballs.

However, with a physique 15 times the human limit, he could still easily find food and start a fire by friction, so most of the resources that ordinary people depend on for survival were meaningless to him.

So he simply skipped over the rows of supplies and, just as the production team had predicted, stopped at a shelf next to one of the walls.

A row of bows hung neatly there.

They were all traditional hunting bows with impressive weights, exuding a cold, hard, and primal sense of power.

"You mean, I can use a bow?"

Chen Baiyu raised an eyebrow and asked the production crew behind her without turning her head.

If this thing can be used...

Then the game is over.

The animals in this forest are going to suffer terribly.

Director Wang Zheng immediately wore that mysterious smile that seemed to say, "That's exactly what I was waiting for you to ask."

He took a step closer and lowered his voice, making sure the camera microphone could pick him up clearly: "Yes, you can! Of course you can! But..."

As he spoke, he deliberately drew out his words: "Choosing a bow itself counts as taking up one resource slot. As for the matching arrows, the program stipulates that each arrow takes up one resource slot, and you must bring at least two arrows at a time."

"So if you choose a bow and two arrows, you'll use up all three spots at once! There won't be any other options."

He shrugged, making a gesture that said, "That's just how the rules are, and there's nothing I can do about it."

But look at his smiling face.

It's obvious that the rules were designed this way on purpose.

Seeing that Chen Baiyu didn't speak, Director Wang continued, "A bow looks cool, but it's not easy to use. Being able to draw it and shoot accurately is a skill; if you can't draw it or shoot accurately, it's just a burden."

"Moreover, taking up three spots at once is not cost-effective. That's why you see the other teachers, including those two survival experts, didn't choose this option."

Wang Zheng spoke in a tone that suggested he was doing it for Chen Baiyu's own good, as if advising Chen Baiyu against impulsively choosing the bow.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Baiyu slightly turned her head, and her molten gold vertical pupils glanced at Wang Zheng with a half-smile.

His powerful spiritual and emotional perception abilities allowed him to instantly sense Director Wang's excitement and anticipation.

But even without this cheat-like ability.

He could figure it out with his own brain; Wang Zheng was clearly deliberately saying a lot to provoke him.

The excuses about "taking up too many slots", "low cost-effectiveness" and "the rules are like this" are all just pretexts.

This kid has set so many restrictions.

It's like telling him outright that this bow is meant for him alone!
Wang Zheng knew he could use it, and he could use it in a way that seemed astonishing.

So the hope of doing the opposite is that he should choose the bow, and it would be best if he could also cooperate with the production team to create some explosive program effects!

Having seen through everything, Chen Baiyu's lips curled into a knowing smile.

Just as he was about to speak.

As if afraid he would refuse, Wang Zheng quickly added fuel to the fire, saying, "By the way, Bai Yu, I almost forgot to mention! Our production team went to great lengths to apply for hunting permits from the forestry department!"

“In Heizhugou, apart from a few clearly marked Class I protected animals, such as giant pandas and golden monkeys, which cannot be hunted, the accompanying experts will definitely stop them immediately if they are encountered.”

"You can legally hunt any other animal you encounter, as long as it's listed in the catalog! Rabbits, pheasants, even wild boars... Aren't you tempted?"

This is an inducement.

A blatant attempt to entice with money.

Wang Zheng was using the hunting permit to entice him to choose to bring only a bow and arrow, thus creating a point of interest for the production team.

Or to be more precise.

This is an attempt to mold him into a character similar to Roland from the show "Living Alone in the Wilderness," thereby adding more appeal and hardcore elements to their program.

Chen Baiyu looked at Director Wang's expression that seemed to say, "I've already explained it to you, don't you understand?" and at the strong hope conveyed in his words.

I just found it a little funny.

but……

It seems like cooperating might be a good idea.

Letting the director get what he wants, and also having some fun for himself, seems like a good idea.

After all, there aren't many opportunities to hunt legally and openly.

then.

Under the focus of several camera lenses.

Chen Baiyu slowly raised his finger and pointed to the traditional hunting bow on the wall, which had the highest weight and the most powerful lines. Then he pointed to a quiver of specially made hunting arrows with only two arrows next to it.

"These are the ones."

His voice was flat and even, without any pauses.

Clearly, he did not hesitate about his choice.

There was no concern about having to use all three items, which could only be carried, on a bow and arrow.

This is a powerful sense of self-confidence.

It could even be said to be so powerful that I take it for granted.

It seems like the choice I just made wasn't anything important.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

With this amazing treasure, he can put on a show from the beginning to the end of the program without revealing his other extraordinary abilities.

Wild West King, reporting for duty!
