Chapter 68: Boss, Feeling Stifled?
The off-road vehicle was indeed repaired. Wang Ping could tell by circling the vehicle twice and finding no gap to sneak in.
Two oil-stained young men walked out to greet Gu Lang, one of them cheerfully handing over a bill filled with parts prices. Altogether, it amounted to nearly ten thousand RMB for Gu Lang.
A quick glance at the bill told him that some parts didn’t need replacing. But in this place, where there was no insurance or claims, Gu Lang clearly didn’t want any trouble. He readily followed them to the counter to pay by card.
Opening the car door, he placed the cage on the passenger seat. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he looked around the interior.
It wasn’t as if they had swindled him entirely. The interior and floor were obviously cleaned, looking brand new. That maddening stench was long gone.
Satisfied, he fastened his seatbelt, started the refreshed off-road vehicle, and drove out of the repair shop towards the hotel. Meanwhile, Wang Ping was miserably clinging to the rear bumper.
Unable to get inside the car but needing to follow Gu Lang, the bumper was Wang Ping’s last resort.
Back at the hotel, Gu Lang parked right at the entrance. He first went to the room to collect his luggage, then checked out at the front desk, carrying two suitcases outside.
Opening the trunk, he neatly placed the two metal boxes side by side. Gu Lang paused for a moment, opened the box containing the satellite signal receiver, took out the receiver, and tossed it onto the backseat.
"Sir! Sir! Wait a moment!"
From behind, a black girl in a purplish-red uniform ran out of the hotel, waving at Gu Lang.
"What is it?" Gu Lang instinctively turned and walked over.
Taking advantage of this moment, Wang Ping quickly crawled out from behind the bumper, sneaked into the trunk, and hid behind the metal boxes.
"Sir, your invoice is ready. You left in a hurry earlier and didn’t have time to take it." She handed Gu Lang a receipt with both hands.
"Heh, almost forgot about the invoice here..."
He quickly took it and thanked her. Turning back, he pushed the metal box in the backseat further in, closed the trunk lid, and got back into the car.
Rubbing his hands together while sitting in the seat, Gu Lang spaced out for a moment before leaning down to pick up the signal receiver from the backseat. After attaching the antenna, he placed it on the dashboard. Then, he took out a tablet from his backpack, inserted a suction cup into a gap on the dashboard, and attached the tablet.
"Yoohoo! I’m back!"
In a somewhat childish tone, he shouted, turned on the tablet, opened the Douyu Live app, and entered his live stream.
The incident in Ngorongoro had already been resolved when Colonel appeared. Although the tablet had shut down due to lack of power, subsequent events were known to Douyu's officials via the embassy.
This was why, despite Tanzania being quiet, news of poached wild elephants in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area was making waves externally.
Even just to mitigate the impact of a streamer’s outdoor mishap, Douyu would steer the narrative positively. After all, compared to Gu Lang’s novice survival skills, apprehending the poachers was the highlight of this event, the only noteworthy takeaway.
Gu Lang didn’t know that many tabloid reporters in China had their eyes on him, waiting for him to appear domestically. Their intentions certainly weren’t to boost his fame.
With results already out and several days without streaming, even now, after waiting for a while, the number of viewers noticing his broadcast remained sparse.
Glancing at the less-than-four-digit popularity count in the upper right corner, he sighed.
"Seems maintaining fan numbers isn’t an easy task."
Greeting a few random passersby who wandered into the live stream, Gu Lang muttered while shaking his head, starting the car and driving east along Highway 144.
"Ding dong!"
"IllegalAccount gifted the streamer 1 rocket..."
"IllegalAccount: Congratulations on surviving, looks like you’re back alive."
Hearing the notification sound from the tablet, Gu Lang glanced at the screen.
Holy crap! A rocket...
"Oh wow, thanks, brother, for the rocket gift! Yes, after a few days of rest, I'm alive again, haha!"
Gu Lang seemed to return to his initial state upon entering the savannah, humming a tune. As familiar netizens entered the live stream, he began occasionally describing the scenery outside the car.
There was no choice; external cameras and equipment had long been dismantled by Wang Ping, scattered who knows where. Now, Gu Lang relied solely on the tablet’s built-in camera for streaming. The video quality was poor and laggy.
Karatu wasn’t small, nor was it large. In about ten minutes, Gu Lang drove out of the city, with vast farmlands appearing on either side of the road. As the wind blew, waves of crops rippled.
Given that Gu Lang frequently appeared in recent reports, he had become somewhat recognizable online. Gradually, the live stream became lively, and bullet comments increased.
"When will the streamer return to China?"
"Where will the streamer go next?"
"What about that leopard, I want to see the leopard."
"WildSuperhero gifted the streamer 1 plane..."
"Where are the Big Boss Buzz-cut and Bro Leopard?"
"Third Brother Gu, you are incredible!"
Since Gu Lang was driving, he only glanced at the screen when reward notifications sounded. Just then, the comment: "Third Brother Gu" floated across the screen, leaving him with a face full of exasperation.
Third Brother my foot! I’m an only child!
But thinking of Big Boss Buzz-cut... Gu Lang realized that one was still locked in the cage. With one hand on the steering wheel, he reached toward the passenger seat to open the small door on the iron cage, saying, "Hehe! Boss, feeling stifled?"
At this moment, Wang Ping had finally squeezed a gap between the two boxes and climbed on top. Earlier, focused solely on hiding, he realized too late that he was boxed in when Gu Lang closed the trunk, nearly crushed by those broken boxes.
Catching his breath, Wang Ping cursed Gu Lang in his heart while climbing up the backrest of the rear seat. Just as he poked his head out, he saw someone in the front reaching to open the iron cage.
You stupid fool...
"Ah!!"
Enraged, Wang Ping let out a shout.
"⊙▃⊙!"
Startled, Gu Lang shuddered and instinctively turned back, locking eyes with Wang Ping.
That familiar expression, the lively gaze different from ordinary animals, and that unique cry. No further display was needed; Gu Lang could confirm that this was Wang Ping.
The feeling was strange. Gu Lang couldn't specify Wang Ping’s physical features, yet he recognized him at a glance.
Unfortunately, sometimes human decisions aren’t driven by the brain but possibly by other organs. Upon seeing Wang Ping, Gu Lang’s hand moved instinctively, opening the cage door without stopping.
"Sss!"
The previously lazy occupant inside directly sprang out as soon as Gu Lang opened the iron cage, biting fiercely at his arm.
"Oh shit!"
Gu Lang yelped and hurriedly dodged backward. At this moment, Wang Ping, who had finally climbed up, kicked off the backrest of the rear seat and lunged forward.
A gust of wind brushed past Gu Lang’s face as the two honey badgers collided, rolling down onto the floor beneath the front seats. The “senior” who emerged from the iron cage was exceptionally ferocious, headbutting Wang Ping and wildly tearing with its mouth.
For a moment, the distinctive cries of the honey badger and Wang Ping’s screams filled the car, interspersed with Gu Lang’s continuous exclamations of "Oh fuck, oh shit."
Gu Lang hesitated whether to intervene, his hand extending several times but retracting halfway. Suddenly, a piercing honk sounded outside the car window.
"Beep beep~!!"
In the rearview mirror, a military jeep was signaling with its turn lights, preparing to overtake. The driver continuously honked and cursed at the off-road vehicle zigzagging ahead without yielding.
"Uh..."
Realizing he was still driving, Gu Lang quickly gripped the steering wheel, pulling the car toward the edge of the road.
