Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The audience who had just heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Bell successfully parachute was shocked again.

“What’s wrong with this child?”

Bell suddenly grabbed a bunch of weeds from the ground, surprising the audience.

At this moment, as the contestants parachuted one by one, the channels for the live broadcast were completed. Every contestant could interact with their audience.

Bell saw the words of the audience in front of the screen.

Reading the audience’s comments, Bell smiled and took out a weed to explain to everyone.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous. Actually, this is not a weed. To be precise, it’s a plant called grass needle.”

“This plant has another name.”

As he spoke, Bell moved the weed in his hand to the camera so that everyone could see it clearly.

Some people in front of the screen saw the thing in Bell’s hand and looked at it, but they could not see any difference from ordinary weeds.

“Actually, this grass needle is called Earth Leaf Tea. Not only can it be eaten, but it also contains high sugar.”

“Everyone knows that the human body requires a large amount of sugar. It’s vital to replenish sugar content when you are in the wild. It can ensure that a person is always full of vitality.”

“But I don’t suggest that everyone eats too much of this in the wild.”

With that, Bell pulled out another grass needle.

His slightly chubby little hand grabbed the grass needle and gently shook off the soil. Then, the audience saw Bell bite the white rhizome and suck it.

Sweet liquid flowed out, accompanied by the smell of soil.

Everyone in front of the screen was dumbfounded.

“Can… Can this really be eaten? And why can’t we eat more?”

“His chubby hands are so cute.”

“God, why does it feel like my heart is melting when he is just introducing the plant?”

Countless comments appeared.

Bell looked like an eight-year-old child. His chubby face and small hands made him look cute which would arouse the affection of some women.

With Bell’s serious introduction, he looked like a little adult.

Some of the audience were not even listening to Bell’s introduction. They were completely attracted to his appearance.

Bell’s image was also playing in the broadcast room.

The beautiful host looked at Bear and Ed curiously.

“Bear, Ed, is what Bell said true? Can this plant really replenish sugar?”

Bear nodded. “That’s right, this plant can indeed replenish a lot of sugar. To maintain vitality in the wild, sugar is necessary.”

Ed also nodded in agreement.

The audience was shocked.

“This child really knows.”

“How did he know about this at such a young age?”

“My heart hurts, let aunt hug you!”

There were always some irrational female audience, and their focus was different from ordinary people.

The host was even more puzzled.

“But why did he say that this thing can’t be eaten too much? Is it poisonous?”

The beautiful host did not forget what Bell had said.

Even Ed and Bear were stunned.

The two of them had also lived in the wild before. Although this plant was called differently in various places, it was not poisonous. They really did not know why they could not eat too much.

Bear shook his head. “I’ve never heard of this. Although there are different names of this plant everywhere, there is one thing that can be confirmed. It’s not poisonous; otherwise, it cannot be eaten directly.”

“Yes, this plant is not poisonous. As for why this contestant said that it can’t be eaten in large quantities, why don’t we see what he says?”

Ed was also curious.

The two were experts in wilderness survival, and they knew almost all the plants like the back of their hands.

However, the two of them really did not know why they could not eat this plant in large quantities.

After all, in their eyes, as long as there was no poison, they could eat it in large quantities. It was all nutritional supplements.

At this moment, Bell had already finished drinking from some Earth Leaf Tea.

After replenishing enough energy, seeing that the audience was still playing information, and asking why they could not eat this plant in large numbers, Bell smiled and wiped his mouth.

“Everyone, don’t worry. This plant is not poisonous. The reason why it can’t be eaten in large quantities is that this Earth Leaf Tea has medicinal effects as well. It can clear heat, detoxify poison, and promotes diuresis1.”

“You have to pay attention to hydration in the wild. Too much urination can cause dehydration which can be harmful in the wild, so you have to pay attention to this.”

With that, Bell continued walking.

In the broadcast room, Bear and Ed’s eyes widened as they looked at the answer Bell gave.

Bell’s unique explanation with the characteristics of Chinese medicine stunned everyone.

“Awesome!”

“No wonder even Bear and Ed couldn’t guess it. So this is the reason.”

“Little friend, you’re so awesome. Have you learned medical skills?”

Comments floated across the screen.

Because of Bell’s appearance and his knowledge, he had already attracted a lot of attention.

After all, it made one feel curious as to how a child knew so much about wilderness survival.

Looking at the comments on the screen, Bell smiled.

“There are still too few people. I have to interact with them enough to increase my popularity.”

While he walked, Bell said, “Actually, you should not eat random plants.”

“Although many plants look edible, they are actually poisonous. If you have no other choice, I can teach you a method.”

“First, use your eyes to look. If there are maggots in them, you naturally can’t eat them.”

“The second is the sense of smell. If you break it and there is a disgusting bitter almond smell, there is a high chance that it can’t be eaten.”

“Third is the skin’s reaction. Our skin can also absorb nutrients. However, the efficiency of absorption is much lower than the digestive system, but there are also some sensitive areas.”

“Such as the elbow and the armpit. If you squeeze the sap of the plant into these parts and feel a change like swelling, it will prove that the plant is dangerous.”

“If the corners of your lips and the tip of your tongue are irritated, throw the plant away immediately.”

Bell explained to everyone.

Everyone in front of the screen was dumbfounded as they watched Bell’s explanation.

“This is too professional. Bell is awesome!”

“I’ve gained new knowledge.”

“Mom is asking me why I’m kneeling and watching the video.”
