Chapter 206: Chapter 204: Encountering Wolves at Night? Why Do These Wolves Look So Cheap?

At eight o’clock in the evening, Jiang Feng was jogging on the wasteland, riding the Red Hare Horse.

Because it had just rained, the ground was still muddy, so Red Hare’s speed wasn’t fast.

[Host, I’ll offer five thousand for that Stone Mushroom, sell it to me, I really want to taste it, sincerely.]

Someone bid in the live stream.

[I’ll offer six thousand, and I mean it, Level 30 badge!]

[I’ll offer 100,000, forget it if you’re selling!]

[It’s not easy to buy such treasures of nature!]

Jiang Feng saw the bids from netizens in the live stream, and he smiled and declined:

"Everyone, don’t overthink it, this mushroom can’t be shipped, so it can’t be sold."

"I’ll fry them up and eat them as soon as I get back."

Hearing Jiang Feng say this, some of the foodies who wanted to eat Stone Mushroom could only give up with regret.

At the same time, many social media platforms shared the video of the Stone Mushroom blossoming.

At the moment of opening the umbrella, the white substance unfurled like an egg, looking so beautiful.

Stone Mushroom and Bamboo Mushroom are both queens of fungi, they’re naturally beautiful.

Thus, the topic #MostBeautifulMushroom# hit the trending list.

Many people were asking science bloggers under the video to explain the origins of Stone Mushroom.

The one tagged the most was Infinite Xiaoliang.

The Stone Mushroom captured in Jiang Feng’s live stream became a genuine "viral biological video on the internet."

Later, some science bloggers also confirmed that this was indeed a Stone Mushroom.

A kind of Bamboo Mushroom that grows on rocks, rarer than Bamboo Mushrooms, truly a treasure of nature.

The video was widely circulated on the internet.

Meanwhile, a folk gourmet, Wu Lu, also noticed this video.

"Stone Mushroom?"

Wu Lu’s eyes were fixated!

He became very excited, immediately starting to investigate the origin of Stone Mushroom.

Wu Lu is a gourmet from Kyoto, with two million followers, his culinary skills and tasting abilities are strong, especially fond of making some niche cuisines.

In the video, he’s all about authenticity with a typical Kyoto bravado.

And for someone like him, Stone Mushroom is a rare treasure, one that cannot be sought after.

If handled properly, it would definitely be a delicacy!

Wu Lu asked in his fan group, and one of his fans told him the answer:

"It was found in Jiang Feng’s live stream, that prairie rancher discovered it at the head of the river."

Upon hearing this, Wu Lu immediately entered Jiang Feng’s live stream.

Because Wu Lu is a prominent figure, his comments are highlighted in the live stream for a few seconds.

He immediately posted a comment:

[Kyoto Gourmet Wu Lu]: [Streamer, I heard you collected a Stone Mushroom, can you let me see it? I’d like to buy it at a high price.]

This comment was quite normal, as many were bidding earlier.

But then he sent another comment.

[Such treasures are very precious, simple cooking methods would just be a waste, sell it to me, I’ll handle it!]

[If it doesn’t work, I can save you a bowl after I make it, you can come taste it.]

Wu Lu’s words carried a tone of arrogance and prejudice.

The sense of lecturing and superiority was almost palpable.

The netizens caught the implication in his words and angrily responded:

[Who is this old guy, who do you think you are?]

[Does the host need your cooking lessons?]

[What a joke, the host just said it’s not for sale, and someone offered thirty thousand!]

[Why sell it to you? You think you can just buy it?]

After Wu Lu posted his comment, seeing everyone scolding him, he was a bit taken aback too.

These veterans generally only focus on themselves or a few chef colleagues, not much caring about online affairs.

There are many million-follower hosts, not everyone knows each one.

Wu Lu didn’t expect Jiang Feng’s live stream fans to be so fierce.

In his eyes, Jiang Feng was just a herdsman, what does he know about high-end cuisine?

Palace dishes, Imperial Chef, perhaps the other party has never even heard of them.

Such a rare ingredient as Stone Mushroom, if ruined, it would make him heartbroken.

So, Wu Lu sent another comment:

[Stone Mushroom is too rare, I want to turn it into a famous dish, I have unique culinary skills.]

But the netizens clearly weren’t buying it.

[You say make it and just make it, why don’t you pick it yourself!]

[Why should others sell it to you!]

The live stream chat was filled with noisy arguments.

Jiang Feng saw the comments flooding in, said calmly:

"No need to argue, everyone, I plan to eat this Stone Mushroom myself, it’s not for sale."

"And it must be eaten tonight to stay fresh, after tonight, the flavor will diminish."

Jiang Feng no longer concerned himself with the noisy comments.

Hearing this, Wu Lu sighed.

But he also didn’t plan to leave the live stream.

He wanted to see how Jiang Feng would handle the Stone Mushroom.

After all, it’s a rare ingredient, something that cannot be sought. Based on the principle that scarcity defines value, its value is far above other fungi.

The road back in the evening was not easy to walk.

Luckily, it wasn’t completely dark yet.

Red Hare trotted slowly, the sound of its hooves echoing as it galloped toward the pasture area under the last bit of evening light.

Gradually, they were getting closer to the pasture.

Just then, Jiang Feng suddenly saw something moving ahead.

He immediately stopped the Red Rabbit Horse and drew his Mongolian Saber from his waist, looking vigilant.

The night desert wilderness always seemed terrifying.

Regular people walking here would feel like ghosts were everywhere, frightening themselves to death.

Thus, many viewers felt tense, only relaxed by watching the comments scroll by, dissipating their inner nervousness.

However, Jiang Feng drawing his Mongolian Saber made the audience’s hearts tense.

[What’s happening? Why did the host stop?]

[Look ahead, something seems to be moving!]

[There’s green light, could it be ghosts?]

[In the deep night of the wilderness, it might really be ghosts. I’ve heard from elders that in deserted places, evil spirits can arise!]

[Oh no! I’m home alone tonight, don’t scare me like this!]

The drones captured footage ahead.

Several green lights flickered in the darkness.

At first glance, they did resemble ghost fires.

However, Jiang Feng saw that they were wolves’ eyes.

He looked closely ahead and confirmed it was White Wolf’s family.

Just a pair of parents with a young gray wolf.

Now this gray wolf has grown, almost the size of an adult wolf.

Jiang Feng has the skill "Dog Affinity", usually canine animals don’t attack him.

And as Jiang Feng walked forward, he saw the three wolves looked silly, not aggressive.

But the viewers were extremely nervous.

In the pitch-black wilderness, there were three wolves.

Who wouldn’t be scared?

Yet Jiang Feng was fearless; he even dismounted and walked forward.

Seeing this scene, the audience was even more dumbfounded.

[Oh my! The host is risking his life!]

[Don’t tempt fate!]

[Those are wolves! Live wild wolves!]

[I’ve fed wild wolves by the roadside in the pasture, they’re quite friendly, but I was still scared, only dared to throw food from a distance.]

The comments exploded.

The viewers watched Jiang Feng in horror.

Jiang Feng stopped not far from the wolves, squatted down, and in everyone’s shocked gaze, extended his hand toward the wolves, then called out:

"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk, Tsk~"

Hearing Jiang Feng clicking at the wolves, the viewers felt stunned.

What’s he doing?

Does he think they’re puppies? And making clicking sounds?

This isn’t a joke?

But something even more absurd happened.

One of the wolves in the lead truly squinted its eyes, displaying a flattering smile, and walked toward Jiang Feng.

Moreover, everyone saw the wolf wagging its tail.

A wolf’s tail isn’t as flexible as a dog’s, but it can also swing back and forth.

Watching this, everyone was completely flabbergasted.

Wolves wagging tails?

What an international joke.

Then, as the wolf approached Jiang Feng, he directly extended his hand and began scratching the wolf’s chin.

The wolf slightly raised its head, squinting its eyes in enjoyment.

[Are we sure this is a wolf? Not a dog?]

[Why does this wolf seem so cheap?]

[I’m numb, what’s the situation here!]

[Wolves coming to act cute?]

Comments kept flooding in.

The audience, initially tense, gradually relaxed at this moment.

Jiang Feng looked at the adult wolf in front of him, it was the first time he’d had such close contact with them.

These wolves had already mastered the way to interact with shepherds.

They sensed Jiang Feng’s goodwill, showing no aggression.

"The fur is a bit hard, quite prickly."

Jiang Feng petted the wolf’s head and remarked.

Hearing this, the viewers were even more speechless.

At this moment, the other two wolves also slowly approached.

They all appeared friendly, without aggression.

Jiang Feng petted all three wolves.

Then, seeing the sky getting dark, he stood up and said:

"I have to go now, come visit my pasture when you have time."

"I mean come to play, not to eat the sheep, don’t get it wrong."

After speaking, Jiang Feng mounted the Red Rabbit Horse again and trotted away.

The three wolves didn’t follow, just watched Jiang Feng leave and then resumed searching for rabbits to graze on at night.
