"Wow, what a find."

Lin Xuan's heart leaped with joy as he listened to the system's prompts.

He hadn't expected that simply discovering a Fire-tailed Sunbird would earn him an active skill and a skill book.

If he learned this skill book, wouldn't it be incredibly simple for him to edit any videos he needed in the future?

* (Seeing how beautiful this Fire-tailed Sunbird is, it reminds me of my childhood.)

* (Back then, I loved playing with slingshots and shooting birds, but I was never accurate.)

* (Until one time, when I was in fifth grade, I shot a yellowish-green bird. Its skull was half shattered, and its body lay still on the water. Its feathers were splayed and soaked, no longer possessing the beauty and liveliness it had in life. I stared at it for a long time, and from that day on, I never touched a slingshot again.)

* (Yes, protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. Even if we don't like them, we shouldn't harm them.)

* (Unless those animals harm us or damage our crops!)

* (But honestly, you don't hear birds chirping in the city, but in the countryside, you can hear them every day.)

* (Especially sparrows, there are so many of them where I grew up!)

* (I used to catch sparrows, but now that I'm older, and sparrows are protected animals, I don't bother with them anymore.)

* (However, the call of this Fire-tailed Sunbird is truly beautiful!)

On the branch, the agile Fire-tailed Sunbird hopped on the twig, letting out a pleasant chirp.

It chirped, "Jiji."

It seemed to be searching for something.

Seeing that the viewers in the live stream enjoyed watching the Fire-tailed Sunbird, Lin Xuan switched the entire camera feed to the drone, having it track the bird.

Soon, however, the Fire-tailed Sunbird seemed to have found something. It suddenly spread its wings and flew off into the distance.

The drone followed closely, and when they arrived, they saw the same Fire-tailed Sunbird perched on a branch, observing a beehive not far away.

* (??? Is this Fire-tailed Sunbird trying to eat honey?)

The viewers were all puzzled as they watched the Fire-tailed Sunbird observing the beehive from a distance.

[Ink Plum Like Painting]: (In the wild, many bird species enjoy eating honey, and this Fire-tailed Sunbird is one of them.)

* (Oh, so it seems this Fire-tailed Sunbird really wants to eat honey.)

* (But isn't it afraid of being stung by the bees?)

[Ink Plum Like Painting]: (Look, the Fire-tailed Sunbird has a long beak and is very fast. Even if it flies over, pecks at some honey, it can quickly fly away. That way, even if the bees want to chase it, they won't be able to catch up.)

* (Indeed, this Fire-tailed Sunbird's beak is quite long.)

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Fire-tailed Sunbird made its move.

It spread its wings and flew towards the beehive. When it was about three to four meters away, it moved with incredible speed, like a rain of arrows, directly towards the hive.

Then, its claws grabbed onto the beehive, and its beak pierced directly into it. The next second, a small blob of yellow appeared on its beak. The viewers understood that this was honey.

It paused for only about two seconds before quickly flying away after successfully obtaining its prize.

The bees tried to chase it, but they couldn't catch up.

* (Good heavens, looking at this Fire-tailed Sunbird, it's probably an old pro.)

* (Haha, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would have known this Fire-tailed Sunbird was so fast and could snatch its prize and escape so quickly.)

Lin Xuan finished preparing bamboo for Panda Mother and looked at the live stream, finding the netizens very lively.

He had initially thought the viewers would be bored watching the Fire-tailed Sunbird, but it turned out to be the opposite of his prediction.

Soon, Lin Xuan also witnessed the Fire-tailed Sunbird stealing honey from the beehive.

"Oh, I didn't expect there to be a beehive here. Doesn't that mean I can get some honey too?"

Although wild honey needed to be processed, tasting a little occasionally was still quite enjoyable.

Besides, he could also get some honey for Panda Mother later to let her try.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xuan's next step was to prepare the tools for getting honey.

He needed at least a protective suit and gloves to protect his hands.

He didn't want to get covered in stings just for a bit of honey.

While the netizens were watching the Fire-tailed Sunbird, Lin Xuan, carrying bamboo, returned to Panda Mother.

Seeing Lin Xuan back, Panda Mother happily cried out.

"You waited long, didn't you? I'm back. I brought you fresh bamboo, try it quickly."

Panda Mother gave Lin Xuan a grateful look, then shifted her body, sat down on the ground, and began eating the fresh bamboo.

As for her two little babies, they were still sleeping. While Panda Mother was eating, Lin Xuan returned to his car and glanced at the little one in the incubator.

He found that the little one hadn't woken up either.

He opened the system panel and searched the system store for a protective suit and gloves.

After spending over a thousand attention points, he redeemed a set and put it on.

After a careful inspection, Lin Xuan checked the livestream and noticed that the Fire-tailed Sunbird from earlier had perhaps left because it was full.

He switched the camera to himself.

(Wow, what is the streamer planning to do dressed like that?)

(With that gear, is the streamer going to collect honey?)

(I remember my uncle kept bees. When he went to collect honey, he wore the same gear as the streamer. It protects you from bee stings.)

"That's right. Speaking of which, I have to thank the Fire-tailed Sunbird. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have discovered honey here. So, I plan to collect some and taste what wild bees taste like."
