Late summer and early autumn is the hottest time of the year.
At this time of year, the days are long and the nights are short; the days are scorching hot and the nights are sultry.
Even if a breeze blows, it's to no avail, since that breeze is hot.
Along the Qingbei Expressway, section 1311, Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu are busy setting up a tent.
But neither of them had ever camped before, and they were immediately flustered.
"What kind of lousy instruction manual is this? I can't understand it at all!" Da Zhou scratched his hair and shouted in frustration.
"Where's the head? Where's the latch? I'm so angry! Why can't this piece of junk be lifted up?"
"What the hell is this? Why can't I tear it apart?"
A phone stand stands in the distance, and the phone used for live streaming is placed on it.
At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with comments, and the viewers were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
To be honest, people who have never pitched a tent before can really feel lost when they first encounter this thing.
[But it's been almost an hour, and the Dragon Bones still hasn't held up! This is unbelievable.]
[Most importantly, they bought the most complex modular tents; a regular tent would just be a matter of pulling and setting it up.]
[ Da Zhou: Where's my brain? Where are my hands?]
[Seriously, wasn't it a complete waste for Da Zhou and the others to buy a tent? They clearly have a van, and it's quite spacious; with a little modification, they could use it as a campervan.]
[I guess they wanted to experience camping?]
I came to see Tianpeng, but why hasn't Tianpeng made a move?
[I also came to see Tianpeng. It seems Tianpeng is playing on his phone in the car. Production crew, quickly switch the camera, we want to see Tianpeng.]
The production team complied and promptly switched to a shot of the interior of the car.
At that moment, Ling Yi was scrolling through Slow Foot videos, and the background music of "wiping glass" was playing from his phone.
Those who know, know; the moment this background music starts, a seductive image inevitably comes to mind.
Sure enough, as the camera switched, the image on Ling Yi's phone was also displayed.
Long hair, short shirt, headlights, slim waist, long legs.
Wearing a mask makes it a little imperfect.
[Let me tell you, it's kind of weird that I like the same thing as Tianpeng, isn't it?]
[This is definitely not a proper pig; it's a sneaky, cunning one.]
[I suddenly have a bad feeling. Did Tianpeng sleep in the same room as Da Zhou last night? Does that mean Da Zhou and the others aren't clean?]
[Wow, what are you saying upstairs? It instantly ruined my mood!]
[After what you did, I suddenly really want to beat up Tianpeng.]
Why bother hitting it? Wouldn't it be better to just roast it?
If Ling Yi saw the comments right now, he would definitely cry foul. He had just Slow Foot, and after the opening ads, this was the first video he saw!
While the viewers in the live stream were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment...
Ling Yi then used his scissor-like feet to hold a stylus and tapped the search bar on the screen.
Then, incredibly clumsily, I started typing on it.
Finally, a few letters and a string of numbers were typed out.
[You've even learned to type now, though it's just random typing.]
[Even if it was just random tapping, it's still impressive; at least Tianpeng has figured out how to use the stylus.]
Just then, the style of the comments suddenly changed.
[Wow, wow!]
The comments section that followed was filled with [disgusting noise].
[It's over, the fact that Tianpeng has become a spirit can no longer be kept secret.]
[In other words, Tianpeng didn't just randomly enter the information; he entered the tent model number at that moment?]
[Of course, otherwise why would this tent setup video have popped up?]
How can this be? Can a pig really be that smart?
[It's unbelievable. I don't know why, but even if Tianpeng suddenly spoke now, I wouldn't be surprised.]
[No wonder it feels so strange! Why do I feel a chill down my spine?]
Has this pig's intelligence really mutated? The Einstein of the pig world?
[Actually, there's no need to make a fuss; animals are far more intelligent than we humans imagine.]
At this moment, an account claiming to be a certified professor of biology at Qinggu University suddenly posted this comment.
[Apart from humans, the vast majority of organisms in nature are constantly evolving. Data from our surveys of hundreds of common organisms over the past decade shows...]
[The intelligence of living beings has actually been slowly increasing. If we extrapolate from the data alone, it would take about three hundred years for the intelligence of a portion of the biological population to generally reach the level of a five- or six-year-old child.]
[Among these are creatures like pigs.]
[There is even a very high probability that during this process, a group of creatures with Wisdom that may approach or even surpass that of humans will mutate.]
[Of course, data is just data. The evolution of organisms is influenced by many factors, the biggest of which is us humans.]
After all, humanity is the true master of this planet.
Humans may allow one or two creatures to evolve into higher Wisdom, but they will never allow an entire population to evolve into higher Wisdom; that would be a terrifying thing.
[Judging from Tianpeng's various behaviors, he may have undergone a brain mutation, unexpectedly evolving remarkable intelligence.]
[But this is just an isolated case, so there's no need to worry too much. It's just a pig after all; it can't cause any real trouble.]
This account posted several comments in a row, providing a relatively "perfect" explanation and offering comfort to the viewers who had developed a sense of fear.
If Ling Yi saw this, he would definitely say to the professor, "Thank you!"
By now, Ling Yi had found the video he wanted, grabbed his phone, and ran out.
The camera switched back to the live-streaming phone.
Ling Yi placed the phone directly in front of Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu, then clicked the play button.
"My goodness, Tianpeng, you're so smart!" Xiao Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it possible that we're just too stupid?"
"How could we not have thought of such a simple method? Why do I feel like I'm not even as good as a pig?"
Da Zhou was starting to have doubts about life.
With the instructional videos, Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu were indeed much faster, setting up the tent in just half an hour.
I must say, although this tent is quite troublesome to set up, it is indeed much more high-end than ordinary tents.
Not only is it spacious, but it also has a separate kitchen area, so you can cook inside the tent even when it's windy or rainy outside.
Furthermore, the accommodation area will not be affected.
Although Ling Yi thought the tent purchase was pointless, seeing the two of them so happy made him realize that perhaps the tent's true significance lay elsewhere.
"Wow, Da Zhou, Tianpeng, come and see! It's so beautiful outside!" Xiao Qiuqiu suddenly exclaimed.
As Da Zhou and Ling Yi stepped out of the tent, a sea of crimson greeted their eyes.
This means that half of the sun has already set, obscured by the distant mountains.
The remaining half emitted a bright orange-red hue, staining most of the sky.
All three were stunned by what they saw.
To the viewers in the live stream, the two beautiful women, one tall and one short, along with an adorable little pig between them, looked surprisingly harmonious and beautiful under the red glow of the sunset.
Those who initially harbored some reservations about Ling Yi found those reservations vanishing under the backdrop of this near-perfect scene.
The two people and the pig watched the sun slowly set in silence, and the number of comments in the live stream decreased significantly.
As the sun completely set and the sky gradually darkened, Da Zhou finally asked, "Will it rain tomorrow?"
"The weather forecast didn't say this area would rain tomorrow." Xiao Qiuqiu was a little confused. " Da Zhou, what are you talking about?"
"Isn't there a proverb that says, 'A red sky over a mountain means good fortune,' or 'A red sky over a mountain means good luck'?"
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "Red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors' delight."
Xiao Qiuqiu coughed lightly and whispered a reminder, " Da Zhou, that's because 'red sky at morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors' delight."
"Oh, is that so? Ahem!" Da Zhou coughed awkwardly twice.
"It's so late, let's hurry up and cook dinner. Let's get some rest early tonight so we can set off early tomorrow. Our goal is to cover a thousand kilometers tomorrow."
Da Zhou and the others were busy cooking, but Ling Yi turned his gaze to the distant woods.
Ling Yi had a feeling that something was watching him.
But upon closer inspection, nothing can be seen.
Pigs already have poor eyesight, and now that it's getting dark, even with Ling Yi's enhanced physique, everything beyond 200 meters is still a blur.
Ling Yi trusted his instincts; there was definitely something in that grove watching him.
But after about ten minutes, the feeling of being stared at disappeared.
Ling Yi, however, dared not be careless at all. After all, this was the wilderness, and it was not surprising that there were some wild animals here.
But to many animals, a little pig like myself is a perfect dinner or midnight snack.
Having finally gotten a lucky start with this Reincarnation, Ling Yi didn't want to become food for some animal.
Just then, a fragrant aroma wafted from the tent.
It was Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu grilling meat.
The stove and iron plate used were purchased by Da Zhou after reading online guides.
After all, it's more convenient to use modern tools when cooking outdoors.
Although the two of them didn't have much skill in grilling meat, they had plenty of technology to rely on.
The dinner went smoothly, and the two of them and the pig were all very satisfied.
I just didn't buy enough meat.
There was no other way; there was no the Fridge or freezer in the car, and meat wouldn't keep for long, so the two didn't dare buy much.
After finishing his meal, Ling Yi ran out of the tent, fiddling with his phone while glancing occasionally in the direction of the woods.
According to information found on the phone, wolves frequently roam this area.
The one that was staring at me just now is most likely a wolf.
The reason why the sense of self disappears is not because it has left, but more likely because it has lost the ability to Summon companions.
If they really are wolves, with Ling Yi's current physique, he can take on one-on-one, but if there are three or more, he will surely die.
In fact, the best option now is to remind Da Zhou and the others to drive away from here.
But such opportunities to show off in front of others are rare, and Ling Yi wouldn't let one slip by.
Just to be on the safe side, Ling Yi opened the system interface, preparing to make a purchase.
Ling Yi spent 280 Achievement Points to purchase two passive skills and 8 points of constitution.
