Chapter 31 The live stream was shut down? The visitor seems ill-intentioned?
Unaware that the Chinese internet was already abuzz with the ten-minute human-python battle, Yuan Linghan asked Wu Yue to help entertain the program crew members while he picked out a clean set of clothes and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
After rinsing several times with soap, the fishy smell that had filled the air finally dissipated. After changing into clean clothes and stepping out of the bathroom, the crew members were enjoying the lemon coconut water that Wu Yue had prepared for them.
Chen Duling, who had been sitting with Zhao Liying, saw Yuan Linghan emerge from the shower and, without any attempt to hide from the stares of everyone present, stepped forward with concern, taking his arm and asking, "Brother Yuan, are you alright?"
Such fervent concern made Yuan Linghan somewhat flustered, but he still smiled and said, "It's nothing! I was a little tired earlier, but I feel much better after taking a shower. How about you? Were you frightened?"
When asked the question in return, Chen Duling made no attempt to hide her surprise, saying, "Yeah, I was definitely a bit frightened. I didn't expect there to be such a big snake on this island. Brother Yuan, what kind of snake is it?"
"To be precise, it was probably a python. Ordinary snakes don't grow that big. But don't worry, it's dead now. If you're still not satisfied, you can skin it and make you a bag."
"I don't want this kind of bag!"
Just as Yuan Linghan was worried that such intimate actions might bring criticism to Chen Duling, Zhao Liying, having received Yuan Linghan's pleading look, secretly chuckled but then stood up and said, "Dudu, come here first, the doctor is waiting to examine you!"
"Oh, right, right, right! Brother Yuan, let the doctor give you a thorough check-up, just in case there are any hidden problems."
"Okay, I'll do as you say and cooperate with the examination."
It wasn't until Wu Yue stepped forward and informed him: "Ling Han, we received a notice from the production department that our live stream will be suspended for twelve hours for violating regulations. This is because your video of hunting the python was broadcast live in its entirety."
"No mosaic was used?"
The fact that the live stream was banned must be due to violations of relevant live streaming policies. The scene of hunting the python was undoubtedly bloody, and if it wasn't blurred out, it's reasonable to expect punishment from the regulatory authorities.
When the medical team began examining Yuan Linghan, they found that apart from some abrasions, there wasn't even a bruise. While admiring her, the medical staff also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately reported the results to the control room.
To the medical staff's surprise, Yuan Linghan then said, "Do you have any medicine to treat fright, preferably traditional Chinese medicine? I was a professional slaughterhouse worker before participating in the show, and I've experienced a lot of bloody scenes, but Dudu and Sister Ying are probably terrified."
"What does Brother Yuan mean?"
"If you have any traditional Chinese medicine for calming the nerves, please prepare some. I'm worried they might have insomnia or nightmares at night!"
After listening to Yuan Linghan's concerns and worries, the medical staff quickly said, "Thank you for the reminder! Luckily, we brought some domestically produced Longgu Anshen Wan (Dragon Bone Tranquilizing Pills) with us this time. This medicine is specifically for treating this kind of condition."
"Please save two boxes for me, just in case. If the medicine doesn't work, I might have to trouble you to come over in person. We only have two days left, and we don't want to leave now!"
"Sure! If you encounter any problems later, you can contact us anytime. We're on call 24/7 anyway!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
The medical team left behind two boxes of medicine and then took their leave. However, to everyone's surprise, a helicopter soon appeared on the beach near the shelter. Shortly after, the program director arrived with several foreigners.
Seeing this, Yuan Linghan walked over to Wu Yue and said, "Brother Yue, keep an eye on Sister Ying and Dudu later!"
"Does this person have ill intentions?"
"I don't know! But being careful is never a bad thing. After all, we're currently abroad!"
"Okay! I understand!"
When director Zhu Shimao stepped forward to express sincere apologies on behalf of the production team, Yuan Linghan didn't seem to mind. When the foreign guests were introduced, Director Zhu added, "Little Yuan, I'm only helping with the introductions. You're responsible for the negotiations yourself, okay?"
"No problem! If I don't agree, will it cause trouble for the production team?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shimao immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, things are different now. Our country is very powerful. If they dare to act recklessly, we are not to be trifled with. We can contact the consulate for assistance at any time."
"Thank you, Director Zhu!"
The director had brought a translator, but after shaking hands with him, Yuan Linghan said in fluent English, "Mr. Tom, I presume you've come for the python I just killed, right?"
"Yes, Yuan! I've seen the video of you killing that python. You have extraordinary courage and strength."
"Thank you! But I think your time is more valuable than mine. If you're here for that python, then let's find a quiet place to talk. In fact, I also think that python is not simple, what do you think?"
"Okay, if possible, could you take us to the site first? I want to see that python with my own eyes!"
"Of course! Not only the python, but also its nest of eggs—I'm sure you'd be very interested in that too!"
"Yes! If possible, we'd like to take them all with us."
"That depends on what sincerity Mr. Tom can offer! After all, I'm also very eager to taste python meat and python eggs!"
Seeing Yuan Linghan calmly conversing with Tom, a representative from Aipai Gene Company, director Zhu Shimao was glad he hadn't acted on his own initiative. Although Yuan Linghan was just an amateur contestant invited by the program team, he felt that this young man had unlimited potential.
Not only was the director shocked, but even Wu Yue and the other two were somewhat bewildered. Knowing that Chen Duling was the most educated of the three, Zhao Liying whispered, "Dudu, did you understand what they were talking about?"
"Sister Ying, my spoken English is not very good. I can only roughly understand that these people came for that python."
"They came for the python? Could the python be related to them?"
"I don't know! But I think Brother Yuan should be able to handle it!"
Before leaving with Tom and the others, Yuan Linghan didn't forget to say goodbye to the three of them. Originally, Chen Duling wanted to go with them, but Yuan Linghan gestured with his eyes, and in the end, she obediently chose to stay at the shelter.
Upon arriving at the jungle, still thick with the stench of blood, Tom's men began taking out various instruments to extract blood and muscle samples from the python for analysis. After the results came back, they quietly reported back to Tom.
The more secretive they are, the more it suggests they have something to hide. Fortunately, Yuan Linghan was quick-witted and had instructed the rescue team members beforehand to collect some python blood, meat, and eggs for safekeeping. Now it seems he was indeed prescient!
After inspecting the slain mutated python, Yuan Linghan led Tom and the others to the python's nest where it had laid its eggs. Tom's men counted the eggs and found thirty-two more. This result seemed to please Tom.
Having confirmed that the python and its eggs were what he needed, Tom smiled and said, "Yuan, these things are fantastic. I wonder what kind of sincerity I need to offer to obtain them?"
"Mr. Tom, you're an expert in this area, why don't you name your price first?"
"One hundred thousand dollars, for all of these items, how about that? This price is the most I can offer."
To Tom's astonishment, Yuan Linghan, after hearing his offer, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Tom, if it were an ordinary python and its eggs, this price would be very reasonable. But at this price, you can't buy a mutated python and its eggs!"
Only now did Tom suddenly realize that this seemingly ordinary young man was probably not as simple as he had imagined. Since the other party knew about the mutated python, it seemed unlikely he would be able to take these things away without showing sincerity!
