The glorious name of Freelance Cowboy had already spread. When everyone thought B-Dog was going to announce who would get the ginseng, another wave of gift sending exploded through the broadcast room of the platform. (B-Dog barked: Woof, shouldn’t the ginseng belong to me?)
"President Wang treats anchor Chen B-Dog ten Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Everyone, quickly grab the treasure box!"
"President Wang treats anchor Chen B-Dog twenty Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Everyone, quickly grab the treasure box!"
...
"President Wang treats anchor Chen B-Dog one hundred Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Everyone quickly grab the treasure box!"
The legendary 100 continuous shot of Buddha Jumps over the Wall had reappeared. Due to the discovery of the 7th-grade King Ginseng, it led to a rewarding trend.
And this time, the well-known celebrity, President Wang came over. B-Dog had not even started to talk before many bootlickers started to flood the screen. Except the President said, "I am old. My body is becoming weaker so I wish to buy it to strengthen my body. I hope everyone can show some mercy and let me have it."
Since President Wang had demanded, no one dared to fight with him anymore.
At glance, the popularity in the broadcast room had hit one million. Then, the sound "Ding" tinkled beside the ear.
"Congratulations to Master for completing Sub Mission 9 of achieving one million worth of popularity. One skill point is rewarded along with a chance for a Grade C lucky draw."
"Unlocking the exchange mall system. Master can use this skill point and lucky draw chances to exchange for a mall voucher to purchase items."
Chen B-Dog temporarily put aside the broadcast room and turned to the system board to do some checking. Indeed there was a mall added. One skill point could be exchanged for 10 mall vouchers and one chance at a Grade D lucky draw could be exchanged for 10 mall vouchers while Grade C lucky draws were exchanged for 100 mall vouchers.
The mall sold some items and low-grade daily skills. There were too many items and he could not finish viewing all. Basically, all the items from lucky draw could be found here while the uncommon items were yet to appear. Anyhow, the good items were relatively more expensive, the price was higher than one chance at a lucky draw. Obviously, the system would not allow for any loopholes.
If you did not trust your luck, then you could pay a high price to buy it at the mall.
He knew it clearly and did not touch the skill points but exchanged the accumulated 8 chances of Grade D lucky draw in one go, keeping only one chance of the Grade C lucky draw. He then left the mall without buying anything.
He saw the hot pop-up comments discussion in the broadcast room. Shaking his head, he said, "Everyone stop fighting!"
"I am going to share a piece of knowledge here. The value of the wild ginseng has nothing to do with the leaves. The growth of leaves on a wild ginseng is repeated. Starting with the 1st-grade leaf, it grows until the 6th-grade leaf then reverts back to the 1st-grade leaf. It is very rare to have 7th-grade leaf. Most likely, it is the pathological change. Hence, the value of the wild ginseng has nothing to do with how many leaves it has."
"The actual factor to decide the value of the wild ginseng is the shape, age, and weight. The estimation price after comparing these three factors could be different. It could be few thousands or up to few millions. This ginseng is still in the soil, so it is useless to speak so much. Who knows it might be a rootless, suitable for me to boil soup. After all, I have used up a lot of energy since broadcasting, it is time to replenish the calories."
After his explanation, everyone was relieved. After all, it was not dug out and these tycoons had already started to make a fuss towards the climax.
Anyway, this explanation was useless as the audience urged him to dig faster.
Definitely, B-Dog would not delay it. He took off his leather gloves and used his fingers to dig up the soft soil carefully. The fat stem was gradually shown. He had just dug out a little bit but already felt it was difficult, not because it was too small but it was too big. At this moment, the number of audiences in the broadcast room had achieved 1.2 million, already surpassed the LOL anchor and big boobs Qiang, to become the latest superstar. With so many followers, he did not dare to make any petty moves and braced himself to continue digging.
His LV6 wild hunting skill was not in vain. Although it was not the professional collection skill, he had the corresponding botanic knowledge. He was getting deeper and deeper and finally managed to dig it out. He took it out and showed it to 1.2 million audiences. Everyone held their breath and their feelings of envy and jealousy reached the maximum. Even if it was separated by the pop-up comments, the jealousy could be felt. Everyone wished they were Chen B-Dog.
The ginseng was looking like a little man. The roots were thick and dense. He did not weigh the ginseng but from the physical appearance, the age and quality were undoubtedly high with at least few hundred years or maybe even up to one thousand years. How low could the price be? Previously there was news on TV about a five hundred years old King Ginseng that was sold at eight million dollars. The buyer paid the full amount on the spot. So, how much this ginseng worth of?
At glance, the broadcast room was exploded, "Everyone is included; let’s divide it, Lord B-Dog!"
"Damn, this is going to be an ancient ginseng. I think it is worth more than ten million, President, prepare the money."
B-Dog knew that showing off would attract hatred, so he only briefly explained for a while. He ignored all the mocking messages from the pop-up comments. After leaving the ginseng in his bag, he did not reveal the ginseng’s owner. The tycoons also knew when to stop competing. They knew it very clearly that it was not practical to compete in the broadcast room.
B-Dog did not leave right away. He stood up and looked around, saying, "It is almost the deepest part of the jungle. People hardly come here so it is not developed yet. The soil is soft and fertile, rich in humus, suitable for ginseng’s growth. Let me check again, maybe I can find something else. Guys, help me to check. If you find anything, let me know."
His suggestion also raised some interest among the audience. It was boring to see him digging for treasures alone. Interaction made it interesting.
"See, this is Carex meyeriana." B-Dog took the hunting knife out, pointing at a weed on the ground. It looked like a soft beard. B-Dog sought for the dry part and started to collect it.
"Carex meyeriana, belongs to Cyperaceae sedges family. It helps to eliminate odor, stimulate the menstrual flow and veins, relieve fatigue, improve the blood circulation, and enhance immunity. Its leaves are long, slender, and soft; the fiber is tough, not easily broken, and hence the people of the northeast always use it to make straw sandals and paillasses. Not only that, it is a fine material to make staple rayon, fiberboard and other straw plaited art works. It is also good for keeping warm. The people of the northeast will dry it under the sun and keep it. In winter, they will put it into the shoes to avoid frozen blisters."
"If you have athlete's foot, I suggest you to buy a pair of soles made from Carex meyeriana." While talking, he took some, rolled it, and placed it inside the bag. "I could use it to start a fire later."
After searching for a while, he did not find any ginseng but another treasure.
At this time, B-Dog raised up his voice and said, "Friends, DXAL is rich with mushrooms. But I want to remind everyone, if you see any strange mushroom at the wild, never pluck them. In China, plenty of tourists are dying every year after eating poisonous mushrooms. The top-grade mushrooms include Tippy Mushroom, Lion's Mane Mushroom, Baikal Mushroom, Birch Mushroom, Naratake and Pine Mushroom. And the most common is… do you know it?"
Under the camera, it was a soft and black item that looked like the ear. It grew towards the direction of the root rot. One huge piece that looked disgusting.
"Black fungus.", "It is black fungus.", "So Lord B-Dog likes black fungus, he-he-he.", "Come to Rendezvous, we have lots of black fungi."
