After storing his newly purchased adventure equipment in Wang Hong's shop, Ning Fei had one more item to acquire: a watch.
For outdoor adventures, he needed a professional-grade timepiece equipped with a third-generation triple sensor (air pressure/altitude, temperature, and bearing), waterproof to at least 200 meters, and with a luminous scale for night use.
He visited a street lined with watch specialty stores. The moment he walked into one, his confident and athletic demeanor caught the attention of the sales staff.
"Hello, sir! What can I help you with today?" A young saleswoman, likely a college student on summer break, greeted him warmly.
Ning Fei explained his requirements. While speaking, the saleswoman couldn't help but admire his well-proportioned figure and calm confidence. Realizing she was staring, she quickly looked away and focused on her job.
"This way, please. Here are some models that meet your needs," she said, showing him three watches.
After inspecting them, Ning Fei chose the most expensive option, priced at 80,000 yuan.
In outdoor adventures, precision is key, and Ning Fei knew that cutting costs on essential equipment could lead to trouble.
Impressed by his easy spending, the saleswoman saw an opportunity. "Sir, since you've spent 80,000 yuan, you're now a VIP of our store. Would you like to leave your contact information?"
Ning Fei immediately understood her intent but declined politely. "No need, thank you."
He left the store, leaving the saleswoman a bit disappointed.

Ning Fei then bought comfortable sportswear and, after lunch, retrieved his adventure equipment and returned to the Taoist temple.
At 3 p.m., as promised, he started his livestream. Fans flooded in as soon as the broadcast began.
"Anchor, you took so long! I was dying to see what you did today!"
"Haha, I see my husband again!"
"Show us Rhubarb!"
In the live feed, Ning Fei sat at a table with two sleek black metal suitcases in front of him.
"What's in those suitcases, Anchor?" one curious viewer asked.
Ning Fei smiled and replied, "This is the outdoor adventure equipment I bought today. Let me show you."
He opened the suitcases, revealing a dazzling array of high-tech tools.
The chat erupted:
"Is this an adventure livestream or a spy movie?!"
"Anchor's setup looks like something out of a James Bond film!"
"Professional! 666!"
Ning Fei introduced each piece of equipment, explaining their functions and importance for outdoor exploration.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng, one of Ning Fei's long-time viewers, was also watching. He was impressed by Ning Fei's professional approach and began to consider inviting him on a special expedition.

During the livestream, Ning Fei shared some important details:
"If you want to raise a falcon, you need to apply for a 'National Key Protected Wildlife Domestication Permit.' I've already submitted my application to the Forestry Bureau, and it should be approved in two days."
"Is that necessary?" one viewer asked.
Ning Fei explained, "Falcons are nationally protected animals. It's illegal to own one without proper documentation. You can face severe penalties for buying or selling them."
He then showed the growing Xiao Falcon to the audience, who marveled at its adorable, fluffy appearance.

While finishing his preparations, Ning Fei heard a soft knock at the back door of the temple.
His brows furrowed in confusion. The back door was adjacent to a slope, and villagers usually visited through the front.
Peeking through the crack, he saw two black-and-white figures—two giant pandas! One large, one small, both were gently tapping the door with their chubby paws.
"They're here again?" Ning Fei smiled helplessly.
The chat exploded:
"WHAT?! Pandas?!"
"Anchor, open the door! I want to see them!"
"Ten-thousand-blood book request: Stream the pandas!"
Realizing this was too good an opportunity to pass up, Ning Fei opened the back door.
The pandas immediately waddled in, heading straight for the Mo Yun bamboo forest. They settled in and began feasting on the bamboo, oblivious to everything else.
"They're after my Mo Yun bamboo again," Ning Fei explained to the viewers with a resigned smile.
The audience was thrilled to see the pandas in action.
As the pandas enjoyed their meal, Ning Fei continued his preparations while occasionally glancing at the adorable intruders. His livestream viewers, meanwhile, couldn't get enough of the rare and heartwarming sight.
