Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the broadcast room, be it the audience, judges, or guests, everyone was shocked when they saw the situation on the screen.

“Oh my god, this is too dangerous. He’s just a child. Should we send special forces to rescue him?”

The female host said nervously. At the same time, she did not dare to be distracted as she looked at Bell’s image on the screen.

Meeting a wild boar in the wild was definitely a huge crisis.

A wild boar was not huge, but at its top speed, it would not be surpassed by even a top predator like a tiger for some time.

Coupled with the terrifying tusks, it was a terrifying creature.

It was death if you were struck head-on, or injuries if you were even slightly touched by it.

The two survival experts, Bear and Ed, knew what it meant to encounter such things in the wild.

Not to mention Bell, even they would have to escape if they were not armed and prepared.

Moreover, Bell was only an eight-year-old child, albeit quite strong.

“No, although we can send someone to rescue him, this contestant hasn’t sent a distress signal. We can’t find his exact location.”

Bell was sitting on a tree branch.

The wild boar that had been circling the tree seemed to have left.

However, Bell did not go down.

He could not be sure if this wild boar had really left.

Many viewers in the live-stream began to send comments.

“Host, hurry up and send a distress signal. Get the organizer to send a rescue team.”

“These wild creatures can’t be dealt with without firearms.”

“Yeah, host, even a survival expert can’t do anything about this situation.”

Everyone suggested to Bell.

After all, Bell was only an eight-year-old child. They felt that Bell’s performance was outstanding enough. It could only be said that he was unlucky to encounter a wild boar.

But Bell only smiled when he saw the comments.

“It’s not even dawn yet, and there are still many wild beasts hiding in the forest. We should try our best not to alert them.”

Bell leaned carefully against the thick tree trunk and looked around warily.

It was not completely safe on the tree, but it could prevent the attacks of most beasts.

Understanding the danger, the audience did not dare to continue disturbing Bell.

Soon, the sky turned bright, and a ray of sunlight shone through the dense leaves into the forest.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Bell’s ears.

“Ding… Congratulations to the host for signing in!”

[Trap Setting Skill LVMAX]

Hearing the system’s voice, the corners of Bell’s mouth revealed a rare smile.

Knowledge about traps appeared in Bell’s mind. He felt like a hunter who had been hunting for many years.

But soon, Bell noticed something unusual.

Unlike the previous rewards, this time, there was no specific way to set traps.

“What’s wrong with the system this time? Why are there only techniques and no specific method to set up the traps?”

Bell asked inwardly.

“The trap setting skill is a major classification. The specific method to set it needs to be exchanged with popularity points.”

Bell rolled his eyes.

“System, you profiteer!”

Checking the prices of the traps in the system’s goods interface, Bell felt a trace of relief.

[Ring trap: When the prey steps into it, the trap will contract. The more the prey struggles, the tighter the trap will be.]

[Spring Hook Lock Trap: It binds the prey’s leg off the ground and lifts it up, reducing the possibility of the prey escaping.]

[Lure Trap: Dig a deep pit on the trail of the animals. Use common items like tree branches and moss to cover the hole. Place the bait on the cover and lay sharp objects in the pit. It can kill the prey.]

In the end, Bell chose these three traps.

Every trap required 500 points of popularity.

After a day’s live broadcast, Bell’s popularity score was only 2000.

“System, you black-hearted merchant!”

Bell couldn’t help but complain again.

It had not been easy for him to earn some popularity points. He had wanted to exchange for some other survival skills.

In the end, the sign-in reward was a trap. The knowledge was there but with no matching methods.

Although his heart ached, Bell still chose to exchange.

As Bell confirmed the information on the three skills, they quickly appeared in his mind.

The sky began to light up.

Some audience members who were concerned about Bell’s safety began to persuade him.

“Host, it’s already dawn. It’s not as dangerous as before. Why don’t you quickly send the rescue signal?”

Some people felt that it was not safe for an eight-year-old child like Bell to face these large beasts in the primeval forest. Although Bell appeared very professional, his image made others not dare to guarantee it.

But Bell smiled at the comments.

“Don’t be nervous. If we fight this wild boar bare-handed, it will be very dangerous. But we can use other methods. Our luck today isn’t too bad. We might even be able to eat wild pork.”

The audience was stunned when they heard Bell’s words. Then, they reacted.

“What host? This can’t be a joke. That’s a wild boar, not a wild rabbit.”

“Yeah, if you’re not careful, you might lose your life.”

“My grandfather used to be an old hunter. He told me that if you encounter tigers, black bears, and wild boars in the wild, you have to run away. Even if you have a gun, it can be dangerous.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Host, even the old hunters don’t dare to do this. You shouldn’t try it.”

Although the audience wanted to watch the show, they could not bear to see someone die.

No one believed that an 8-year-old could hunt wild boars alone.

But Bell was determined.

He carefully climbed down from the tree and looked around.

He bent down and checked the footprints left by the wild boar as well as all the surrounding resources.

“Today, I’ll teach everyone how to set traps in the wild.”

“The resources for traps in the wild are very scarce. We have to find suitable materials to replace them.”

Bell had already thought of how to set the traps he had just obtained.

For the ring trap, he did not have the hemp rope. Fortunately, there were some thick and sturdy plants around, so Bell made them into hemp ropes.

It was best to use springs for the spring hook lock trap. But same as the ring trap, he did not have the tool.

Fortunately, the thick trees were tough enough.

He could also replace the materials with some suitable branches.

As for the sharp objects for the lure trap, it was relatively simple. This place was not far from the bamboo forest. In ancient times, some hunters would use bamboo as sharp weapons.

Soon, Bell gathered all the materials.

It was time to arrange the traps.
