Chapter 44

"There's an adult tiger roaming around near you. If you don't deal with it, are you supposed to live on tenterhooks all day?"

"The production team would be overjoyed. If Jiang Ye actually went up and grappled with the tiger, only to die, their liability would be cut by more than half."

"Jiang Ye shouldn't have taken a pistol this morning. If he'd taken an automatic rifle, he could finish this with a quick burst."

Jiang Ye's prolonged refusal to leave made many viewers frown harder and harder.

"Wait, he's not thinking of taking down this adult tiger with just a pistol, is he?" Zhang Puze sighed. Even he couldn't make sense of what Jiang Ye was doing.

"Minister, according to his records, he hasn't received any military training," the assistant added from the side.

"Of course I remember. That's why I can't figure him out."

At that moment,

viewers back home were baffled.

Viewers around the world were growing more and more puzzled as well.

Many people who had been following other survivalists also switched to God Jiang's feed. Confused and increasingly curious, they watched the livestream, eager to see what Jiang Ye was going to do.

They didn't have to wait long.

Just as the tiger finished eating, Jiang Ye told the system in his mind to activate the Super Potential Activation State, then charged out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment Jiang Ye charged out, he felt the entire world slow down before his eyes.

After spending a second or two adapting to the sudden surge in his physical abilities, Jiang Ye fired three shots in quick succession, hitting the tiger squarely in the head.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Roar!!!"

The tiger reacted extremely quickly. The instant Jiang Ye appeared, it charged at him, letting out a deafening roar.

Only-

just as it charged out, three bullets struck it in the head.

By the time it had covered half the distance, another three bullets had struck it at the base of its thigh.

Less than seven or eight meters from Jiang Ye, the tiger collapsed mid-charge.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye let out a long sigh of relief, then smiled.

He could have tiger meat for lunch.

It was incredibly nourishing!

Jiang Ye had heard his elders say that tiger meat not only had tremendous nutritional and medicinal value, but had also been eaten by many high-ranking officials and nobles from ancient times to the present.

Only in modern times had the authorities expressly forbidden the hunting of tigers and the consumption of their meat.

Jiang Ye put a fresh magazine in the pistol and tucked it into his waistband as a precaution. Then he began considering how to get the tiger into the hotel.

Meanwhile, in the outside world,

Jiang Ye had taken less than two minutes,

but countless viewers were left dumbstruck on the spot.

Stunned.

Everyone was stunned.

They were shaken by Jiang Ye's almost miraculous feat.

Chief director William, Charlie, Zhang Puze, the elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, the math whiz... and the other big shots who had been following Jiang Ye were even more astonished, their faces blank with shock. They still hadn't come to their senses.

"Holy freaking crap."

"What just happened? Did I see that right? God Jiang shot the tiger dead in just a few shots!?"

"You saw it right. He only... only needed one magazine to take down the tiger. Every shot hit. Incredible."

"As a former Navy SEAL, Jiang Ye performed as though he'd received professional special forces training. Such terrifying skills. He acted decisively and ruthlessly-fast, accurate, and ruthless."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, and someone told me a math genius had taken on a tiger alone and won, I'd have thought they were talking in their sleep."

Only then did livestream host Chen Danni come to her senses. "Something truly shocking just happened. Contestant Jiang Ye fired just six consecutive shots, all hitting the tiger accurately and killing it."

"Luck? Or skill?"

Chapter 44: The whole world is envious! The extra effect of a nearly well-done tiger steak (begging for all kinds of support)

Backstage at the production team's headquarters, chief director William and Charlie were discussing what had just happened.

"According to our experts' analysis, his skills have reached the standard of an entry-level special forces soldier."

William was somewhat displeased. The contestant information the consortium had given him had never mentioned that Jiang Ye's physical abilities had reached this level. He completely outclassed the other contestants.

Compete?

How were they supposed to compete with that?

There was simply no comparison.

As chief director, the purpose and interests behind his involvement were aimed at thoroughly undermining Dragon Country's-and the entire Huaxia nation's-confidence in itself and its culture.

For selection as a contestant on the show,

an ordinary contestant would have been the best choice.

Faced with William shifting the blame onto him, Charlie looked utterly helpless. "Before selecting anyone, we investigated everyone from Dragon Country who was studying abroad. You could say we checked again and again to make sure none of them had military training. Only then did we make a random selection and choose Jiang Ye, a Dragon Country man with no background, as ordinary as ordinary could be."

William complained again, "What do we do now, then? For a contestant who's reached the level of an entry-level special forces soldier, won't the survival show be a piece of cake?"

"I don't think you could achieve your objective no matter whom you put in charge of directing and planning."

Charlie didn't rush to respond. After a long silence, he slowly said, "Actually, put that way, there's only one possibility. He's... an agent sent by Dragon Country."

An agent?

William's gaze sharpened, and his spirits immediately lifted. "That's right, an agent."

"Only an agent could keep you from finding his real records."
