At noon, Bi Fang arrived at the police station and enthusiastically greeted Officer Zhao, who had helped him the previous day.

Engrossed in his official duties, Officer Zhao was stunned for a moment as he looked at the unfamiliar young man in front of him. He racked his brains but couldn’t remember ever having met him before, until he noticed the backpack with a broken strap behind Bi Fang and asked with some doubt, “Are you Bi Fang?”

“Yes, don’t you recognize me anymore?”

Bi Fang found it somewhat amusing and did a spin in front of Officer Zhao, then spread his hands to show he was the real deal.

“Goodness, I completely didn’t recognize you!”

Officer Zhao stood up and looked at the young man in front of him with a face full of surprise.

Yesterday, he was a disheveled refugee with a woebegone look. After just one night’s rest, he seemed like a completely different person, not only with sharp and confident brows but also exuding a distinctive jungle wildness. This aura, coupled with that face, tsk tsk tsk!

Incredible, this young man has the same charm he had back in the day.

And…

“Were you in the military before?”

Officer Zhao, an experienced police officer, was very sensitive to people’s auras and suddenly asked Bi Fang.

Bi Fang just smiled and did not deny it.

If he had only acquired the Field Army skill yesterday, he wouldn’t have admitted it, knowing that whether he had served in the military could be verified through records. But today, he readily admitted it.

Identity Integration Coupon!

Who can resist the allure of a ten consecutive draw?

Bi Fang had won this coupon in a ten-draw lottery this morning; after all, with 1,200 Points, he couldn’t resist the temptation to try his luck once.

The effect was incredibly powerful, so much so that it could even change the laws of cause and effect.

As long as the Identity Integration Coupon was used on the corresponding skill, one would obtain the appropriate occupational credentials, perfectly conceived and without any flaws.

Awesome!

Bi Fang was flabbergasted when he received the coupon. Even historical records could be fabricated. Truly worthy of the System, was there anything it couldn’t do?

Without a doubt, Bi Fang used it on the newly acquired Field Army skill. From now on, when meeting others, he could freely admit that he had been in the service, and all of his skills were officially backed by the state.

Why did so many people admire Bear Grylls and Grandpa De in his previous life? Wasn’t it because one was a special forces soldier and the other was an officer?

Although Bi Fang’s current skills weren’t of a special forces soldier, the Field Army itself was mighty. Moreover, as the skills upgraded, the occupational certification would evolve accordingly, a one-time fix.

All he had to do was to not overpromise to his fans.

Now, here’s Bi Fang’s status panel.

[Unique Binder: Bi Fang]

[Age: 24]

[Height: 183.9cm]

[Weight: 68KG]

[Strength: 8]

[Stamina: 11]

[Agility: 9]

[Spirit: 11]

[Status: Good]

[Enhancement Points: 0]

[Wilderness Points: 420]

On the skill tree, Purple Tree Trunk: Wilderness Survival lv1, Advanced Yoga lv1.

Blue Tree Trunk: Pilates lv3.

Green Tree Trunk: Cross-country Hiking lv5, Rock Climbing lv5, Swimming lv2, First Aid lv5, Biological Identification lv2, Calisthenics lv3, Field Army Level 5.

Among them, Calisthenics was a purchase from the store for three hundred Points. It’s a great deal, relying on nothing but one’s own body for resistance in exercise routines, allowing practice anytime, anywhere—very helpful for training core and endurance strength. A well-known exercise like the human flagpole is part of calisthenics.

And for 300 Points, it was quite a bargain.

Additionally, Bi Fang’s Cross-country Hiking and First Aid were upgraded with Skill Upgrade Coupons that he won in the lottery, which could only affect blue and green skills.

Apart from three upgrade coupons, he also received a special enhancement coupon which he hasn’t used yet, and the rest are some outdoor gear still in his inventory.

All in all, this adventure not only compensated for his physical attributes but also significantly enhanced his professional skills—a great return on investment!

“Ah, why didn’t you say earlier? No wonder you could make it out of Qinling alive!”

Seeing Bi Fang admit it, Officer Zhao patted his shoulder with more warmth, and after a good chat, they headed to the station together.

As they parted, they even exchanged phone numbers.

The ticket and hotel expenses were all advanced by Officer Zhao, who was still waiting for Bi Fang to repay him. After all, he wasn’t truly short on money. Just from live streaming these past few days, he had earned over a hundred thousand in income, an amount that even exceeded many families’ annual earnings.

What he really lacked was just an opportunity to get his hands on the money.

Once on the bus, Bi Fang yawned, facing yet another long journey ahead. He needed to catch some sleep.

…

On the other hand, completely unlike the carefree Bi Fang, Wang Weifeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. On one hand, recent events by competing platforms had taken away many users from Shark, keeping him terribly busy. On the other hand, it was Bi Fang going silent.

Wang Weifeng had been set on signing Bi Fang, who in four days had gone from no inquiries to a popularity between twenty and thirty thousand—a first in his many years in the industry. He was determined to sign him no matter what.

Therefore, Wang Weifeng went to great lengths to send big streamers to check on Bi Fang’s room and even sent over his share of the gifts immediately after Bi Fang’s live stream ended, showing how much he valued him.

But having been unable to contact him for several days, Wang Weifeng couldn’t help feeling uneasy. If the money hadn’t gone through successfully, he would’ve even suspected that Bi Fang provided fake information when applying for his streaming channel.

“Ding-ling-ling.”

The phone on the office desk suddenly rang.

“Who is it?”

An annoyed Wang Weifeng picked up the phone and asked.

“Manager Wang, there’s someone downstairs who wants to see you, named Lu Junming, who’s also brought a streamer from our platform with him. Should I turn them away?”

Lu Junming?

What’s he doing here?

Wang Weifeng’s brow furrowed. He had heard the name before—a big spender on the Shark platform. Of course, the real situation was clear to everyone. Given the power of major guilds, even Wang Weifeng couldn’t easily refuse.

“Let them come up.”

“Alright, Manager Wang.”

…

Back at his rented room, Bi Fang finally took a breather. But when he remembered the money he still owed to others, he immediately took out his phone, opened the back end of his streaming platform to see if he could withdraw the earnings from the gifts.

Soon after, he found that his phone was flooded with missed calls and many texts, one of which was a payment notification for a whopping 112,456 yuan!

Shark platform is so generous!

Bi Fang counted the six-figure sum over and over, silently giving a thumbs-up in his mind.

After so long in this world, he had finally solved his urgent financial crisis!

Without hesitation, Bi Fang immediately repaid the six hundred yuan he had borrowed when he first arrived in this world, fulfilling his original promise to repay tenfold—two thousand to each person—leaving the three lenders dumbfounded.

Honestly, when they lent him the money, they never expected Bi Fang to repay it.

On one hand, the amount was indeed trivial. On the other, they had all benefited from Bi Fang before, so two hundred was nothing at all.

But to their surprise, in just a few days, Bi Fang had repaid them, and ten times over at that!

What kind of lucrative deal was he doing without including his brothers?

Would they lend again?

No need for tenfold, just threefold or fivefold would do as a kind gesture.

But Bi Fang’s reply was vague, and he didn’t explain much, just reassured them. Then, he transferred three thousand yuan to Officer Zhao, only to receive a refund notification soon after.

Officer Zhao refused to accept the extra.

After some back and forth, Bi Fang had no choice but to pay exactly what he owed.

Such a good man!

Bi Fang quietly marveled. After finishing all this, he finally had time to check the deluge of private messages in the backend.

Typically only higher-level accounts could send private messages. Thinking of the amount of money these people had sent him, Bi Fang felt compelled to attend to them, deciding to respond to some of the more important ones.

He carefully looked through them, replied to those he could, and even thanked some of the more enthusiastic female fans, before noticing a few crucial messages towards the end.

Several of them, undoubtedly, were from Shark platform, inviting him to sign a contract. On average, they sent two a day, with different content every time.

Was Shark TV not working, just busy sending him invitations?

Bi Fang continued scrolling.

He noticed one was from Lord Mu, mostly asking Bi Fang to get together for a meal when free, and throughout there was an expression of wanting to become friends, including mentioning his own identity.

The CEO of a public company.

Bi Fang casually checked, and found that this CEO was quite young, just over thirty, with quite a fortune. Moreover, his father was even wealthier, a major director of a group, with a net worth…

So many zeros that even Bi Fang’s system-enhanced vision was dazzled.

The last were from individuals like Fat Cat Pete, who said they had set up a fan group, which Bi Fang joined at a glance, waiting quietly for approval.

After dealing with these, he finally began replying to the official messages from Shark.
