Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Lottery, New Skill Rewards!

The Golden Eagle grabbed the ribs and flew further and further.

Jiang Feng took out the binoculars from the ranch, gazing at the scene in the sky from afar.

"Turns out it really is a Golden Eagle!"

"Looks like that Golden Eagle is less than a year old, not fully mature yet."

"The average lifespan of a mature Golden Eagle is over 20 years, and they are considered mature at age 5. Only a quarter of Golden Eagles live to 5 years old. But once they mature, their survival rate can reach 95%."

"They have no rivals in the sky and on the prairie."

"Prairie folks really like Golden Eagles, considering them to be mighty and brave, one of the totems of the grasslands."

"That Golden Eagle might not be able to catch wild rabbits and mice, or maybe it just wanted to taste some ribs."

"Encountering such an event is quite interesting."

Jiang Feng laughed happily.

Losing the ribs was no big deal, but having a Golden Eagle come and snatch them from the house is a rare experience indeed.

Viewers in the live stream responded one after another:

[The Golden Eagle startled me just now!]

[What a huge bird!]

[The host's reaction to not finding the ribs is too funny, hahahaha!]

[Even a scripted show wouldn't dare shoot this!]

[Ribs: Farewell, mom, tonight I'm setting sail!]

There are also some freelance media creators in Jiang Feng's live stream.

These creators earn popularity by editing exciting videos from the internet and then make money through ads.

One of them specializes in editing animal and cute pet videos.

The incident in Jiang Feng's live stream earlier was quite interesting.

So, several freelance media creators immediately edited the video clip and posted it online.

#Golden Eagle snatches ribs just prepared by the ranch owner#

#Class 1 protected animal Golden Eagle commits robbery at the ranch#

#Golden Eagle appears live on camera#

The edited videos were released online along with these hashtags.

This event is indeed rare.

Especially the look of shock on Jiang Feng's face after discovering the ribs were gone, along with the Border Collie's eager barking, and the Golden Eagle's silhouette flying away in the sky, all very amusing.

Therefore, these videos had very high view counts and received many likes and comments.

Many people left comments below the videos.

"Hahaha, which ranch is this? The ranch owner surely had bad luck!"

"Too funny!"

"This ranch owner is young and quite handsome!"

"Who knows where the ranch owner is streaming, give me a link."

"Found it, it's him @Daily Life on the Prairie."

Some freelance media creators, after editing the video, also leave comments indicating the source of the video.

While gaining traffic by editing others' videos, they also bring traffic to others.

Therefore, many users navigated from these videos to Jiang Feng's personal account and entered his live stream.

The live stream's popularity soared.

During the stream, Jiang Feng had already given up on making ribs and was inspecting the sheep pen, waiting for the hotpot to be ready to eat directly.

As they say, "A loss might turn into a gain," losing the ribs was initially a bad thing, but the video spread continuously online, accumulating significant popularity for Jiang Feng.

Many streamers hope for such classic moments, but nature granted it to Jiang Feng on his second day of streaming.

Seeing Jiang Feng's laid-back, relaxed yet authentic streaming style, many people soon hit the follow button.

Jiang Feng walked to the sheep pen, looking at the sheep inside.

The sheep noticed someone approaching and moved a bit away but craned their necks to look at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng chuckled, speaking to the viewers in the stream:

"About to eat, preparing to end the stream."

"Now that there are so many people in the live stream, let me show you a little skill."

"When I was young and shepherding, I liked mimicking sheep calls and slowly mastered the nuances of sheep bleats."

"Let's have a look, starting with a communication sound."

With that, Jiang Feng mimicked a sheep's call, sounding:

"Baa~~"

As soon as his voice fell, a large group of sheep immediately looked at him curiously and started responding one after another:

"Baa~~"

"Baa~~"

"Baa~~"

This scene looked particularly hilarious.

Viewers in the live stream couldn't help but laugh.

[Hahaha, the host is so good at voice impersonations!]

[These sheep are adorably dumb!]

[It's entertaining watching others raise animals!]

[These sheep are probably saying: This host's accent doesn't sound local.]

[Great skills deserve a reward!]

Jiang Feng placed his arms on the wall of the sheep pen, leaning against it, watching the flock with a relaxed demeanor.

A few bold sheep craned their necks and tilted their heads, curiously taking a few steps forward, trying to find out who was mimicking their bleats just now.

Jiang Feng was amused by the silly expressions of these few critters.

While watching the sheep, he introduced ranch conditions to the viewers:

"The sheep are not enough yet, after transporting them tomorrow, some beef cattle and dairy cows will arrive too."

"My family also has a small dairy farm with 10 cows. Dairy cows on the prairie are precious, they're treasures."

"Maodeng Ranch has a dairy processing plant here. My family plans to bring 8 of our dairy cows over, then cooperate with the processing plant to sell some milk daily."

"Every part of the ranch needs funding, so selling some products is necessary to recover the costs."

"Otherwise, income won't match expenses. Even the largest ranch won't be able to sustain itself."

Just then, Yang Maolin approached from behind, courteously saying to Jiang Feng:

"The hotpot ingredients are ready, the pot is boiling, everyone is here."

"See if there's anything else you need, and we'll prepare it."

Jiang Feng's family treats employees generously, and Jiang Feng has been outstanding since young, treating people kindly. As the ranch owner, employees respect him immensely.

"If you're all set, then it's fine."

"I'll say goodbye to the stream viewers and head over soon."

Jiang Feng replied to Yang Maolin.

"Alright then, I'll head over first." Yang Maolin nodded with a naive smile, then went to wait in the yard next door.

Then, Jiang Feng bid farewell to the viewers in the live stream.

"Ending the stream, will be back at the same time tomorrow."

"In the morning, the sheep will be let out; this time, there will be more, and the scene will be even larger."

"Goodnight, everyone."

Upon hearing Jiang Feng, viewers began saying goodbye.

[Goodnight!]

[It's only a bit after seven, ending the stream so early!]

[I wanted to see more sheep!]

[Streaming a lamb hotpot meal works too!]

Despite the viewers' reluctance, Jiang Feng still clicked to end the stream.

After the stream ended, Jiang Feng connected with the system mentally:

"Settle today's popularity value."

The system's voice instantly responded:

"A total of 164,328 people stayed over a minute in today's live stream, with an average duration of 1.3 hours, gaining a total popularity value of 213,626.4."

"Current total popularity value: 273,140."

Hearing the system's prompt, Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

With a popularity value of 270,000, two basic lotteries can be conducted.

The lottery provides rewards of items, tools, and skills, among which skill rewards are the rarest and hardest to obtain.

However, according to the system, the first choice of a basic lottery will surely grant a skill.

"System, two basic lotteries."

As it's just beginning, Jiang Feng didn't hesitate to use the popularity value for a drawing.

"Host selected two basic lotteries, drawing..."

"The first draw guarantees a skill."

"Congratulations, host has obtained a skill: Mosquito and Insect Exclusion Zone."

"Mosquito and Insect Exclusion Zone: The host's body will emit a special silent scent, deterring mosquitoes and flies, preventing insect bites."

Hearing the first notification sound, Jiang Feng was slightly surprised.

A skill like this exists!

This skill is incredibly useful on the prairie!

Many only know how beautiful nature is, but it also has many mosquitoes and insects, a real bother for those who despise them.

This skill greatly solves the problem.

"Not bad, very useful." Jiang Feng smiled.

Then, the system's second notification sounded:

"Congratulations, host has obtained a skill: Bird Affinity."

"Bird Affinity: Birds will not experience fear or rejection towards the host, sensing affection from the host."

"Note: When the host harbors thoughts of harming birds, the Bird Affinity function will cease."

...

"Another skill?"

Jiang Feng hadn't expected to obtain a skill on the second draw, provoking him to laugh.

When fortune comes, nothing can stop it!
