Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 757 - 754: Mysterious Island
```
An isolated island, desolation, mysterious statues...
For many who hear of the legendary Easter Island, the impression in their minds is likely dominated by the group of massive human figures that exist there, one of the world's most peculiar and enigmatic landscapes.
Setting foot on this fertile land, Bi Fang felt a strong resonance.
In the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere. While April in the Northern Hemisphere is the warm and comfortable spring, on Easter Island, it is autumn—a bit chill with a continuously cooling trend, which adds a cool tone to the island.
However, compared to the island's iconic giant stone figures, Bi Fang was more concerned with whether there were trees suitable for boat-building.
Jumping down from the car, Bi Fang's feet sank into the soft soil. Weeds sprouted from the cracks, and the air was filled with the unique plant fragrance of Nature.
After a group photo, the driver who was offering a free ride stepped on the gas and left without disturbing, leaving only Bi Fang alone facing Easter Island, which was like a prairie.
The sea breeze swept across, bowing the grass all over the island.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling the stale air from his chest, Bi Fang moved forward a few hundred meters, found a suitable spot, set down his backpack, pulled the zipper open, and took out a drone that automatically hovered in the air.
A minute later, followers around the world received a push notification on their phones or computers.
Three months had passed, and Bi Fang's live stream had started!
A massive wave of people flowed into the servers through the internet cables, and the sudden surge even caused a brief lag, which recovered after a few seconds.
At the Langya Technology Department, an old employee calmly took a sip of coffee, placing the cup on the table as he added more servers to stabilize the connection. Only after the system was steady did he pick up his cup and take another sip, slightly squinting his eyes.
He had seen such scenes many times before, so it was nothing to wonder at.
It's not that they were unprepared, it's just impossible to prepare for.
When millions of people flood in at once, anyone would be overwhelmed.
The technology department used to struggle when there were only hundreds of thousands of people; now, they just let it go in peak times and balance it out by borrowing servers.
Having servers on standby solely for Bi Fang felt like a loss.
After all, Bi Fang spent more time not live streaming than live streaming, and leaving servers idle is not good for the machines. So apart from initial lagging at the beginning, there's generally no issue.
"Kid, learn something. Just this skill in server allocation is something you could take a lesson from," the old employee said to an intern beside him, full of a commanding air.
Thinking back to when Langya was on the decline two years ago, and he almost lost his job, this moment of instructing juniors and climbing pay inspired a surge of pride.
The homepage of Langya unfurled like a curtain opening, splitting gently from the center.
To the left, the tumultuous relentless waves, to the right, the sand and dust swirling in the wind, and in the middle, the painting like unfolding revealed the towering figures.
"On April 5, 1722, that day was the Western Easter, and it held profound significance not only for the religious but also for Jacob Roggeveen, an explorer with the Dutch West India Company, marking the very special first day.
That day, the Pacific Expedition Team he led, consisting of three sailing ships, discovered another small island in the Polynesian Islands."
Before the canvas fully opened, a familiar voice began to rise.
"Although the island's inhabitants call their island Rapa Nui, to the dominant Westerners of that time it didn't matter. From then on, the world came to know this island as Easter Island, indeed, the very island I'm standing on right now."
Finally, the canvas was completely unfurled, the camera panned, and a familiar figure entered the view; Bi Fang slung his backpack on again and gave the camera his familiar two-fingered salute.

"Hello everyone, I'm Bi Fang, a professional adventurer. Long time no see."
[Missing person has returned!]
[Boss Fang finally remembered his Wolf Fang password]
[It's been three months, do you know how I've been living these past three months!?]
[Good guy, a quarter of a year without live streaming, and the moment he starts, hundreds of thousands are watching. Old Fang is the only one who gets this treatment, right?]
[Wuwuwu, familiar people, familiar faces, the familiar wilderness, sorry brothers, I'm rushing to pay my respects first!]
[You can't be serious, SIR, you're rushing over this?]
[Eh, haven't you watched "Stealth Track" broadcasted in the last two weeks? Master Fang was in it, you know.]
["Stealth Track"? What's that?]
[Hey, I think I've heard of it, isn't it some kind of reality show?]
[Holy shit, Old Fang, when did you join a reality show, and how did I not know?]
"About a month ago, it just ended last week," Bi Fang glanced at the bullet comments and casually explained, "Domestic viewers may not know, but the international ones should have seen it. I think the finale is airing in a couple of days, right?"
[Darn it, Master Fang, you don't love us, not even a heads-up]
"I did give a heads-up, it was posted once on my social updates, but it seemed like you guys didn't pay much attention."
Hearing this, many Shuiyou hurriedly scrolled through Bi Fang's updates, from domestic to international, and back again, making sure Bi Fang hadn't secretly started a new account without their knowledge.
There really was a mention!
[You call posting a status and then disappearing for a month "promotion"?]
["Heading to Los Angeles to join 'Stealth Track'. Looking forward to winning the big prize." Just eighteen words, not even a picture attached. Well done.]
[I'm going to look for the resources]
[Send me a copy!]
Having not streamed for three months, Bi Fang and his viewers didn't seem estranged at all, and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room quickly got lively as more and more viewers tuned in.
After shaking off the mud from the bottom of his backpack, Bi Fang carried his pack and headed towards the center of Easter Island.

"I know everyone is very curious about what exactly I'm streaming this time. The poster Wolf Fang put out must have confused you all, but let's not rush; let's continue with the topic we started earlier."
Bi Fang paused, picking up from where he began his self-introduction.
"This island did not arouse any interest in that Dutch explorer at the time. This small island, a little over 100 square kilometers, was formed by eruptions from three nearby volcanoes and inhabited by more than 2,000 indigenous people. The island was all grasslands, with no tall trees or any exotic treasures."
"By then, over 200 years since the Age of Discovery had passed. Portugal, Spain, Central Country, Holland, and France had already plundered many colonies in Africa and America. Moreover, these colonies had long formed stable and mature blocks of interest, such as planting cash crops, trading slaves, and so on."
"For the colonists, Easter Island, a small island suspended in the Pacific Ocean, served only as a stopover point and had no other purpose."
"After spending a week there, killing 12 Easter Islanders including the Chieftain, and wandering around the island, the exploration team set off on a new journey."
"But what they didn't know was that this island had another name — Mysterious Island."
