In the washroom, the water flowed non-stop, Bai Yang stood under the shower, bathing in freezing cold water as his body was still emitting immense heat.

Blood was still dripping down from his nose, diluted by water, and flowed down from his body and into the drain. At this rate, Bai Yang thought that he would die from blood loss soon.

And it was not just that, the little Bai Yang below was standing up straight and Bai Yang thought, Oh d.a.m.n, what do I do now….

That was when he finally remembered, that the tiger itself was a treasure; people used only grams of the tiger bones to make soup but Bai Yang downed a huge bowl of tiger soup and meat. He, who was already a healthy young man, immediately exceeded the threshold he could take.

Oh tiger meat oh tiger meat, do I not have the luck and fortune to be able to enjoy you? I'm already like that just by taking the tiger meat and soup, so if I drank the tiger p.e.n.i.s wine, will I just get myself killed?…..

Meanwhile, the door in the living room was opened, as a middle-age lady in office wear walked in. Though there were wrinkles left under her eyes by time itself, it was clear that she was a beauty when she was still young.

The bob hairstyle she wore made her look energetic and capable, and after changing into the indoor slippers, she shouted towards the room, “Little brat, are you home?”

Her shout was left unanswered, but Zhen Guoping was not bothered. After entering the living room, she was a little surprised when she saw the bowl on the coffee table, This little brat did not have instant noodles for his meal? This is not scientific at all.

She knew very well just what kind of person her son was; her son was someone who would do anything to save himself from hard work, but today, he actually made himself a meal. Zhen Guoping had the urge to see if the sun actually rose from the West instead of the East today.

The door was then opened again as a middle-age handsome man entered. He also changed into indoor slippers and asked, “What's the hold up? You're late today, you'd have readied the meal by now usually.”

“There are two boys who got into a fight for a girl, so I gave them an unforgettable lesson. What do you want to have for your meal, I'll go make you some right now.”

“Anything will do, I suppose you're already tired, from the lecturing you gave to the boys.”

After being legally bound for years, these two knew each other deep into the bones, there was no need to purposely convey any messages for they both knew what each other needed.

Zhen Guoping nodded, but she whispered to Bai Jianjun mysteriously, “Darling, something is not right with our son. He actually made food for himself.”

“Huh?” 

Bai Jianjun was surprised.

“Hey you old man, can't you smell it?” 

The parents then glanced towards the washroom before they sneaked into the kitchen to examine the scene. The parts that resembled the tiger the most were already thrown away by Bai Yang, so the two couldn't find anything odd; barely anyone had the chance to eat tiger meat, so it would definitely be strange if the two noticed that this meat was tiger meat.

“What kind of meat it this?” asked Bai Jianjun as he looked at the meat in white.

“Definitely not pork, beef, lamb or chicken. I have no idea as well.” replied Zhen Guoping with a shrug.

“Bah, let's try our son's cooking.”

Bai Jianjun, however, could not be bothered; it was very rare for their son to make some food, let alone leaving some for them so he definitely had to give it a try. He told himself that as long as the food was edible, he would give his son a praise for sure.

With a scoop, the eyes of Bai Jianjun, a man who loved delicacies immediately lit up, “I don't know what meat is this but it's definitely something top quality. Too bad our son's poor cooking ruined it.”

“Let me try….”

The two of them started mumbling to each other, commenting on the tiger soup made by Bai Yang. They mainly wanted to figure out what kind of meat it was, scoop after scoop, the parents quickly finished the pot of tiger soup left for them by Bai Yang, but they still couldn't guess the meat.

As for Bai Yang, after finally stopping the bleeding, he stumbled upon this scene in shock, but there was nothing he could do except for letting out a sigh as he thought, Guess I'd have to find a place to stay tonight, for the sake of my quality sleep.

At this age where his parents were in, and that pot of nouris.h.i.+ng tiger soup, G.o.d knows what would happen….

“By the way brat, what meat is this?” asked Zhen Guoping as she pointed at the pot that had nothing inside anymore.

“Ughhh… A friend of mine sent me this fresh wild boar meat from a village 800km away. There's still some in the fridge,” Bai Yang's tone almost convinced himself that the lie was true.

“No wonder I couldn't figure it out. So this is what real wild boar meat from the village taste like?” commented Bai Jianjun.

At this night, Bai Yang stayed up until midnight and finally slept after muting the noises from the outside world with his headphones. He looked on the internet about wilderness survival….

As he went through the information, Bai Yang was literally drenched in cold sweat, the fear he had could not be described, for what he did at that “place” was really reckless, in other words, looking for his own death. He had no safety consciousness back then, especially when he was stung by that mosquito; fortunately enough, he was not poisoned at all or he wouldn't even know how he would die.

And that was also why he did not head over recklessly that night; he had decided that he would only head over there after he fully armed himself with the requisite knowledge and equipment.

Perhaps it was because there was an unknown world waiting for him to explore that threw him off the bed. He walked out of his room, energetic and motivated, and saw his mother, who was all freshened up, serving breakfast. As for his father, the old man had his arms behind his waist, trying to chase away the pain by rubbing it….

“Morning dad, morning mum…..”

After a greet, Bai Yang went straight into the washroom.

Zhen Guoping and Bai Jianjun exchanged a glance right away after that, both feeling a little embarra.s.sed and they thought that it was them that hindered Bai Yang's sleep….

While dining, Bai Yang devoured the breakfast like a whale and he looked towards Bai Jianjun and asked shamelessly, “Dad, can I have a word with you for a second?”

“You spent all your money again?” 

Bai Jianjun immediately knew what his son wanted, perhaps it was because of the lovey-dovey night yesterday with his wife, the old man was very nice right now.

Bai Yang was speechless as he thought, What? Do I look like I only want to ask for money when I open my mouth?

But the words coming out from his mouth was, “How much can you give me…..?”

With a mocking look that entirely displayed the expression of “I already knew what this brat wanted when I saw him moving his b.u.t.t even for an inch,” Bai Jianjun picked up his phone and slammed on it.

Ding dong.

Bai Yang picked up his phone and saw money already transferred into his account.

“Thanks dad! Can I borrow your car for a day as well?”

“Hey you little brat, don't cross the line!”

“Just one day, I have something urgent.”

Zhen Guoping put down the cutlery and secretly whispered to Bai Yang, “Are you trying to hit on some girls? Then you have to wash that old car carefully. You are already so old, I was thinking of hooking you up with some lady teacher or school's flower in the university. Heh, but here you are, already eyeing someone else!”

Bai Yang was left speechless, but what can he do? It was not like he could choose what kind of parents he wanted; these two were definitely not like that when they were outside, but at home, they could be as unreliable as they can.

Finally, Bai Yang managed to get the permission to use the car, but when he was about to leave, Bai Jianjun sneaked up on him and asked, “If you can get me more of this meat, I will definitely give you better treatment at home.”

Heh, that was when Bai Yang finally knew why his dad was so nice today.

But it was not strange at all; after downing that bowl of meat and soup, he was already that energetic, so his parents were definitely benefiting from it as well, which allowed them to do something naughty…..

After putting on his jacket, Bai Yang drove out from the garage and navigated his way straight to a military specialty store he found on the internet. Though he knew that the quality could not be guaranteed, he had no other choices. Going to the market and purchasing many cleavers would just be looking for trouble.

The owner of the shop was, surprisingly, a young man. He had a high and tight haircut, dark-toned skin, and developed muscles. All the signs pointed to him being a retired soldier.

“Brother, what are you looking for?”

The owner glanced at Bai Yang who entered the store and asked before he returned to dealing with some sort of items in his hands.

According to his thoughts, Bai Yang pointed out, “A pair of boots, a suit, and gloves. A headgear and… right, a taser? Let me think…. Oh, and a machete, do you have them?”

Upon hearing Bai Yang's order, the young owner examined Bai Yang and asked, “If I may, brother, what are you going to do with these?”

“A wilderness adventure.”

“Newbie! You definitely know nothing about wilderness survival.”

“How so?” asked Bai Yang as he raised a brow.

The owner cast aside the matter on his hands right now, head to a rack and removed a case that was about a meter in size and said, “There, whatever you need is inside, including some that you did not think of.”

Bai Yang remained silent and he stared at the owner with a blurred expression.

Speechlessly, the owner pointed at the case and explained, “There is a set of specialized wilderness survival equipment, apart from the gear you wanted, there is also a multifunctional flashlight that can be used as stun baton, a multi-purpose military shovel, a satellite GPS device. Everything in this box will fulfill your requirements. They may not be top-tiered ones but judging at how unprofessional you are, they will be able to help you out if you are just trying to explore a tiny forest.”

“You are really professional! All of these, how much are they?” 

Though he was looked down at, Bai Yang felt no pain at all, there was no way that he would tell the owner that he would be exploring an unknown world.

“8,500 RMB, no negotiations. It's a pleasure doing business with you.”

“Vechat Pay?” asked Bai Yang as he whipped out his phone.

After watching Bai Yang leave with the case, the owner shook his head and mumbled, “I can already tell that you are a noob just by looking at you. Who doesn't check the items they purchase before paying? You didn't even bother negotiating.”

But, after leaving the store and sitting in the car again, Bai Yang murmured, “Heh, this is just the first, after a few times, this little brat will be selling the truly nice items to me.”

Bai Yang was definitely not stupid, he never thought that he would be safe at that dangerous place with only this level of equipment; if it was even possible, he would definitely bring along two guns with him when he entered that place again. Besides, some of the people on the forum had already revealed that this owner was capable of bringing in some good stock….

Of course, he did not waste his money, for these things were going to be useful; no matter how black-hearted this man was, he would definitely not sell fake merchandise to customers, he would only jack up the price.

The next stop was the market. Bai Yang bought himself some repellant as he definitely not want the mosquitos over there to get anywhere near him anymore after being stung by one.

Finally, he made his way to the last stop, which was his father's furniture factory, not to ask for more money but to secretly borrow something; when it came to clearing a path, nothing would be as strong as the chainsaw used by Logger Vick. He still vaguely remembered that his father's factory was one that only produced high-end furniture from pure solid wood….
