The moment instantly showed a new path to Xiaobai's fans.

They always claimed that Xiaobai should hold live stram in the real world, but the tasting was simply tasting, and they couldn't swallow any of it. But it would be different if they could eat it in the real world. That was the real pleasure they asked for.

Therefore, the fans not only required him to hold an online stream in the real world but also wanted to know his address. They wished he could have a real restaurant in reality so that they could eat delicacies more frequently.

Fang Weixuan and Meng Bingyan loved Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms and the Hot Candied Sweet Potatoes, so they finished them all, including the soup in a few minutes. Su Yang and Luo Qigang had planned to join them, but they found out this halfway there.

Su Yang had nothing to say.

While Luo Qigang was speechless.

Compared to them, Meng Bingyan was full and satisfied.

"Meng, how do you like Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms?" Su Yang asked with a smile as if they were close friends. If he didn't grit his teeth when he asked, it might sound more nicely.

"It's very delicious. The chicken is not greasy, and the mushrooms are fresh and tender. The taste is strange at first, but it is really good. The more you eat them, the more you want to eat. I can't stop thinking about them." Meng Bingyan recalled the taste as he answered. It could tell that he wanted to eat more. He was so indulged that he ignored how Su Yang and Luo Qigang were desperate to tear him apart.

"Xiaobai is amazing. This is the first time I've seen these mushrooms. I've gone to some restaurants to eat before, but I saw none of these ingredients. As for the sweet potato, that's the best! The Braised Sweet Potatoes are soft and sweet while the Hot Candied Sweet Potatoes make your heart fill with sweetness. I'm not a fan of sugars, but I had a lot just now." Meng Bingyan kept making them feel worse.

Su Yang regretted inviting Meng Bingyan to be the host. If he knew that there was such a benefit, he should have been volunteered to be the host today.

That was too good for Meng Bingyan!

The audience shared Su Yang and Luo Qigang's feelings, wishing they could come through the screen and try the dishes just now.

The fans had more requirements now. They shifted their target to the sponsors, strongly denouncing their "selfish" behavior and demanding more public evaluation sessions. They said the game was only fair when the fans and audience were involved as well.

Compared to them, those who felt the worst were those contestants who were there with Gu Bai but could only smell them instead of tasting them.

The audience who watched the live stream in the real world would have a chance to try Gu Bai's dishes during their watching, but the contestants could only bear their desire and force them to focus on their dishes. That was torturing!

"Xiaobai, are these mushrooms edible? I saw many good-looking ones beside the mushrooms you picked from the video just now. Why didn't you bring them all?" Meng Bingyan finally remembered why he was here.

"Not all of its kind are eatable. Most bright and beautiful mushrooms are poisonous. They can't be eaten. If everyone sees mushrooms in the wilderness, I suggest you not pick them in case you might get poisoned," Gu Bai replied as he looked at the camera and reminded the audience in case anyone might try their chances in the field.

As Gu Bai's voice fell, the comments in the live stream went wilder again. The anti-fans who didn't dare confront others just now grasped their chances and condemned him again.

[What is he up to by cooking with poisonous mushrooms?]

[Hey, are you stupid or something? Didn't you hear him say that the most colorful ones were poisonous? He picked basically the grey kind that wasn't poisonous. He just reminded us out of kindness, but you are too silly to get him.]

[Even the Plant Research Institute hasn't given any conclusions yet, how did he know which kind is eatable? What if they are poisonous as well? He's taking human lives as dirt, doing all this to highlight himself!]

[The anti-fans are so blind! Didn't you see how Fang Weixuan and Mr. Meng responded? Do you think they would have that kind of expression if it was poisonous? Don't tell me they are cooperating with Xiaobai. He's not powerful enough to do that.]

[The anti-fans continued.]

Every time the anti-fans made any comment, Xiaobai's fans would retort immediately. Soon, the anti-fans found they were no match for Gu Bai's fans. Even if they were always on the upper hand when dealing with other celebrities, they had to compromise this time.

Gu Bai's fans didn't dare to confront the anti-fans before, but they had developed better and stronger in the last minutes.

It was reasonable that the anti-fans lost the battle this time because not only Gu Bai's fans but also many foodies joined the battle this time.

And the foodies were fearless!

The game in the wild finally came to an end. Although most contestants were too embarrassed to stand there, Gu Bai's performance alone was enough to attract the attention of the public and the fans, not to mention he had found two new ingredients during the process.

If these two ingredients were recognized by the Plant Research Institute, it would advance both Gu Bai and the sponsor's names.

Su Yang and Luo Qigang had a good impression of Gu Bai before. And now, they just saw him as a money-spinner.

After the field recording ended, Gu Bai and Fang Weixuan returned to the forest, expecting to pick up more sweet potatoes and mushrooms. Unfortunately, they were dumbfounded when they reached there.

The place was a mess. The vines of the sweet potatoes were ripped, and they saw pits everywhere in every possible spot.

"The watchers are out of my expectations this time," Fang Weixuan couldn't help sighing. It hadn't been four hours since Gu Bai mentioned these in the live stream, and now, there was nothing left already.

"We should have dug more if we had foreseen this." Fang Weixuan regretted it, wondering when they would have another chance to taste it again.

"Maybe they haven't reached the mushrooms yet," Gu Bai consoled.

Previously, he had reminded the watchers on the live stream that they were not supposed to pick up or buy any mushrooms until the Plant Research Institute gave them an exact answer or standard of what was eatable.

However, he obviously underestimated how desperate the foodies were. There were no colorful mushrooms left when they got there.

Gu Bai frowned. He didn't mind if these things were taken away. After all, none of them belonged to him. But they might have physical diseases if they ate anything uneatable mushrooms.

Fang Weixuan said, "These people are so bold. Luckily, we are in the Second World. People won't die here even if they eat anything poisonous."

"But it will affect their spirits, right?" Gu Bai didn't relax but felt depressed.

"Yeah, but that won't be serious. If our spirits are hurt here, Intelligence will automatically kick us out of the Second World. Probably that's why they dared to pick them up," Fang Weixuan explained.
