Chapter 512 Fang Shen Registration
Aisle, farmland, yard?
Looking at the three words on the paper, Mandy was confused.
Richard understood: "You mean..."
Bifang nodded: "That's what I mean."
Mandy and Keke were full of questions. As outsiders, they didn't understand any of the riddles being asked.
"Come on, what do you mean? I'm just a diver. At most I know a little about sharks, dolphins and marine ecology. How can I know anything about black bears?" Mandy was very dissatisfied.
Jarrett finally explained.
Aisles, farmlands, and yards are all areas where human activities take place. Many other places are also fixed areas where humans have activities.
"so what?"
"So it means that black bears have entered the range of human activities . If it is in places like forests and rivers, it means that humans have entered the black bears' territory. These are two completely opposite concepts." Jarrett finished explaining.
"The number of black bears is increasing, to the point where it affects normal human activities." Bifang tapped his pen and made a summary.
Mandy retorted: "Why can't it be that the large-scale expansion of humans has affected the original range of black bears?"
Bifang praised: "Not bad, you can draw inferences about other cases."
Mandy chuckled, but then she felt something was wrong.
"Whether the increase in black bears has affected humans, or whether human expansion has affected black bears, depends on local conditions, such as urbanization rates and development in the area where the incident occurred."
"Japan is a country with a highly concentrated population in cities. There is basically no investment and development in remote areas. They are all agricultural areas, let alone expansion."
Bifang used a red marker to point out all the attack points on a white paper. After pointing them out, it can be found that these places are all very remote barren mountains and old forests, with only a small village around them. How can they be expanded?
Of course, this is not enough. Only by comparing with the city maps from a few years ago can we confirm that these places have not expanded much in the past decade, but the number of black bear attacks on people has increased.
"Through these, we can determine that the number of black bears has increased and has begun to invade the range of human activities, and this is also the explanation given in the Japanese report."
There is a profession in Japan that specializes in hunting black bears, called the Matagi Hunter, and its origin can be traced back to the 16th century.
Each of the hunter settlements in northern Honshu has its own unique characteristics, but they all consider themselves to be special protectors of the balance of nature.
However, since black bears have been protected, ghost hunters can no longer hunt black bears freely, allowing the number of black bears to increase again, and now they are rampant once again.
"So, this year the Japanese government opened a hunting festival, inviting professional hunters to hunt black bears. It is also a promotion of the local ghost hunter culture. The total number is 100, and only cold weapons can be used. Heavy crossbows are prohibited, and hunting of young and sub-adult black bears is prohibited."
Japan is very good at promoting its own culture. Even a simple act of killing a black bear can be turned into a grand ceremony to boost the development of local tourism. At the same time, the Oak Story Company was invited to conduct follow-up filming and live broadcast.
Oak Story is a company of journalists, photographers and filmmakers who share a focus on local stories.
Anyone who is eligible to participate in the hunt will be assigned an Oak Story contact person to conduct follow-up photography.
In fact, the Japanese government was inspired by Bifang's live broadcast.
Since the concept of live broadcast of wilderness survival emerged, it has set off a craze around the world, and people have a great liking and interest in this sport that combines wildness and wisdom.
When Japan's live broadcast of hunting black bears came out, it caused a sensation around the world. However, Jarrett and others were busy with their work and did not hear much about the news.
Bifang feels that whether the culture promoted by Japan is correct or not is another matter, but the behavior and methods of protecting culture are still worth learning from.
"The Japanese black bear is a subspecies of the Asian black bear, and it mainly lives in broad-leaved forests and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. The tropical rain forests in the south and the oak forests in the northeast are distributed in Honshu and Shikoku, Japan."
"Taiji Town is also within the borders of the Honshu volcanoes, and black bears are also seen nearby."
Honshu Island is the largest island in Japan. It is located in the center of the Japanese Archipelago and is the seventh largest island in the world.
To the north, it faces Hokkaido Island across the Tsugaru Strait, to the south, it faces Shikoku Island across the Seto Inland Sea, and to the southwest, it faces Kyushu Island across the Kanmon Strait and Bungo Channel.
There are many forests and even active volcanoes on the island, the most famous of which is probably Mount Fuji. The scope of this hunting activity is near the Honshu volcanic belt.
"The hunting season starts on July 12 and ends when all 100 black bears are hunted. I have already signed up online. During the day, I will broadcast the hunting of black bears live and secretly go to Dolphin Bay to complete the filming at night." Bifang told his plan.
As for whether the registration will be successful, Bifang feels that as long as the person who does the registration is not mentally ill, it will not be a problem.
"It may sound a bit boastful, but I'm already a world-class celebrity. If I show up in Taiji Town without warning, it might arouse their vigilance, so I have to find a reasonable excuse. I think the hunting season is a good opportunity."
Richard and others were stunned after hearing this. This plan sounds like a good one.
But what’s with this Batman déjà vu?
"But this is too dangerous, right?" The electrical expert was a little worried. Not only would they have to hunt black bears during the day, but they would also have to fight wits and courage with the local villagers at night.
Reality is not a movie. If you do what Batman did, your body will not be able to take it in a few days.
Bifang was very confident: "Don't worry, hunting is fake, shooting is real. I'm not aiming for first place. I will pay attention to rest control. I am more cautious than anyone else in the wild, and I know more than anyone else."
Despise the enemy strategically and take the enemy seriously tactically.
It is indeed very difficult to complete two tasks at the same time, but Bifang is not such a greedy person. His ultimate goal is still the Dolphin Bay mission. Hunting the black bear is just a side job, just for show.
Hunting one hundred black bears by traditional means is somewhat difficult. Once the hunting season is completely over, the trip to Dolphin Bay should also be over.
After hearing this, everyone had no more objections.
"That leaves one week before we have to leave."
"That's right, this time we must succeed completely!"
…
At the same time, at the online registration office for the hunting season on Japan's Honshu Island, the staff here are working late.
Black bear, primitive hunting, the name alone can attract the interest of 90% of people and caused a sensation around the world.
Although the online registration threshold is high and requires a professional hunter license, there is still a steady stream of people coming to register. Even many traditional hunters choose to sign up and try their luck , hoping to become famous with one hunt.
Bifang’s case was so successful that it became famous all over the world.
From snatching food from a bear's mouth, being chased by a pack of wolves, to discovering unknown creatures, to the flight of wild geese, drifting on the sea, climbing Mount Everest, and forging iron in the wilderness, achieving any one of these achievements can bring you fame and fortune for a lifetime.
What if all these achievements were concentrated in one person?
He will be a legend of the century, a legend who makes a lot of money.
Someone has calculated that a single live broadcast of Bifang can bring in nearly 10 million yuan in profit, and this is just based on pure tips from the audience, without any advertising.
Not to mention the subsequent clubs, although they are not listed and their specific capital flows are unknown, a rough calculation based on ticket sales shows that the flow of money is so huge that these country bumpkin hunters are really envious.
In addition, there are many other hidden incomes, including fame and fortune.
In the Internet age, fame can be exchanged for money!
Where there is profit, there are people chasing after it. Unfortunately, not everyone can handle it, especially in the wilderness.
Even Bifang consciously imitated Bear Grylls in the beginning, but later he gradually developed his own style and became more successful.
These hunters have never seen Bear Grylls, and with the example of Bifang, they have never been able to make a name for themselves. They have skills but not the ability to turn them into money. The hunting season in Japan now provides them with a very good opportunity.
Everyone provided their resume, hoping to be selected and become famous.
Unfortunately, only thirty-five professional hunters were selected to kill one hundred brown bears during this hunting season, so most people missed out on this hunt.
It is also said that five of them are designated Matagi Hunters, and the actual number of vacancies is only thirty.
What the staff has to do is to select the best solution from the vast number of "resumes". Both strength and image must be possessed, and having a professional hunter certificate is the most basic requirement.
Even if some have the talent, if they don’t look good, they cannot be elected, because they cannot attract the audience at all. If they cannot attract the audience, they will suffer a loss.
"Yawn, I'm so sleepy. Who should I send this to? She's too ugly. I'll pass her." Nobita Nobi opened his sleepy eyes and once again passed a professional hunter who was waiting for news.
"He has a good resume. He once killed a 2.4-meter-tall brown bear." A colleague on the other side smiled while drinking coffee.
"So what if he killed a brown bear? I've seen it happen at least thirty times. It's not a cold weapon, so what's the big deal about shooting him to death?" Nobita didn't care. He turned to the next one and became more interested. "Hey, this guy killed a 2.3-meter-tall brown bear with a spear!"
"Mugalun, this name sounds familiar to me." The colleague touched his head, thinking he had heard this name somewhere before, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
"The image is not bad, you can add him to the candidates." Nobita Nobi clicked the mouse, pulled Mugalen into the candidates, and continued to browse.
When I turned to the last application of the day, it loaded slowly, but the resume at the bottom came out first.
"Let me see if there are any surprises in the last one. Hmm, he also repelled a two-meter-three-meter black bear with bare hands? He also hunted wolves? He discovered prehistoric animals? He encountered a school of sharks and killed a few of them, and climbed Mount Everest? Huh? This guy, he is not bragging, right?" Nobita Nobi laughed.
A colleague at the side was stunned. He pushed Nobi Nobita who was laughing and reminded him: "Don't you think these experiences are familiar?"
"Look familiar? This is obviously Fang Shen's resume. He even dares to apply Fang Shen's experience. I don't want to..." Nobita Nobi laughed and laughed until he couldn't laugh anymore.
Wait, Mr. Fang’s resume?
At this time, the photos were loaded bit by bit, and a confident and handsome young man showed his smile.
Two shrill screams exploded from the building.
