Man vs. wild: The Desolate Star on the tip of your tongue, let’s do it!
…
Lu Liran and Ke Ji chatted outside the open-air balcony for a while, until they felt a bit of chill, they returned to the room.
As soon as they returned to the room, they saw the child, Lu Ziqian, staring at the two of them unblinkingly with his pair of bright, steel-blue eyes.
Lu Liran froze when he saw him, and couldn’t help but cough slightly, and leaned over to take the little guy out: “Why don’t you call Papa when you wake up?”
“Papa and the beautiful uncle are busy.” The little boy said, smiling and hugging Lu Liran’s neck, and kissed his Papa on the cheek.
When Ke Ji saw this, he eagerly came over, and sure enough, the little boy did not hesitate to give his beautiful uncle the same kiss on his face.
Ke Ji raised the corners of his mouth and kissed the little guy’s forehead gently: “Good night, little guy.”
“Good night!” The little boy waved his hands in a sweet voice, hugging his Papa’s neck tightly, looking very possessive.
Ke Ji looked at Lu Liran again, and put his other cheek in front of Lu Liran, looking like he was waiting obediently.
Lu Liran was amused. He glanced at Ke Ji, then slowly tilted his head, and touched Ke Ji’s lips lightly.
Ke Ji was slightly startled, with some surprise and amazement in his eyes.
“The adult’s good night kiss is here.” Lu Liran raised his eyebrows and said, curling up the corners of his mouth, holding the little cub in one hand, and gently pressing Ke Ji’s lips with the other hand, “Good night.”
The Commander was satisfied with receiving two goodnight kisses, and walked out of Lu Liran’s room happily and joyfully.
In the next two days, Lu Liran barely saw Ke Ji. It was only later when he watched the news that he learned that two abandoned factories in the slums had been turned into garrison sites for the Federation Interstellar War Army.
The comments on this matter in the news were relatively mild, which was beyond Lu Liran’s expectation.
Lu Liqing saw that his brother was watching the news seriously. When he took a closer look, he guessed what Lu Liran was thinking. He said: “The news stations in Desolate Star used to be owned by Fang Ye, Cui and Shang groups, but now it belongs to us.”
Lu Liran looked at his big brother in surprise when he heard this.
“To make a planet mute, first grab its throat; to make a planet deaf, first cover its ears.” Lu Liqing said, seeing his brother’s gaze, he added, “This is what the three major groups Fang Ye, Cui and Shang did. I only used it to restore them to a normal state.”
Lu Liran nodded slightly when he heard his words. He understood what his big brother meant. He waved his hand and whispered to Lu Liqing in a slightly embarrassed voice: “It’s okay to be a little biased.”
Bias to His Excellency, the Commander.
Lu Liqing paused after hearing this and snorted softly: “As a planet-oriented media, we must be fair and transparent, without any personal emotions.” He was not happy.
Lu Liran felt that what his big brother said made sense. He coughed lightly and felt that his idea was very inappropriate.
“Aren’t you going to leave tomorrow? I have prepared something for you and put it in your room. Go and see if you need it.” Lu Liqing said, diverting Lu Liran’s attention, “You said there was a limit on the number of items you could carry in that whatever system, so I made some new equipment for you.”
Lu Liran’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately thanked him quickly and ran back to the room.
As expected, there were three boxes on the table in the room, all wrapped in gift boxes. They looked as grand as birthday gifts.
Lu Liran was a little amused. Just like every time he left home to perform a mission, his equipment was also modified by his big brother himself, and then put in such a big gift box.
He took it apart one by one—— a military canteen, a functional knot, and a backpack.
At first glance it looks unremarkable.
Lu Liran took it out with some curiosity, and saw that the military canteen actually had two layers. The upper layer was a hollow jug, and the lower layer was a self-heating device. It could boil water without starting a fire. The canteen shell could withstand high temperatures and would not burn hands.

The functional knot is made of multi-practical and rare materials that are highly load-bearing, abrasion-resistant and malleable, which are much stronger than those that can be purchased on the market, and there is also a functional button on the handgrip part of the knot, which can selectively pop out telescopic components such as claw hooks, ice axes, and others.

Although the backpack cannot store items in as large a capacity as the terminal, it also expanded the capacity by at least three times!
Lu Liran was filled with joy. This greatly increased his mobility! If he had caught the three giant mouth catfish in advance, he wouldn’t have to worry about stringing them up with branches and carrying them all the way.
Lu Liran immediately put on these three pieces of equipment, followed by the vest and two weapons that did not occupy the equipment slots.
What he needs to wear is an outdoor jacket, assault pants, and mountaineer boots. Each of these three items occupies an equipment slot, and Lu Liran brought an extra flint.
Seven pieces of equipment! The system did not issue a warning! This means that Lu Liqing’s equipment modification is included in the system’s default game rules!
Lu Liran immediately ran out to find his big brother and reported the good news.
Lu Liqing said happily: “I have almost figured out the rules of this system. Wait, give me more time, and I will update your entire outfit next time.”
Lu Liran: 0v0
System: QAQ
“By the way, if you see Ke Ji, tell him that his equipment is in his room.” Lu Liqing called out to Lu Liran and said a little awkwardly.
Lu Liran was a little surprised: “He has one too?”
“Hmph, lest he hold you back.” Lu Liqing pouted.
Lu Liran laughed, his big brother was the first person to be hard-spoken and soft-hearted.
He nodded and responded: “Okay, if I see him, I’ll tell him. If I don’t see him…”
“Come on, he goes to your room every night before going to bed, do you think I don’t know?” Lu Liqing wrinkled his nose, “Just remember to tell him that, and yeah, tell him to be careful about his influence in front of the Zai-Zai, will you?”
“……” Lu Liran was speechless for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and he coughed dryly for a while before finding his voice, “We didn’t do anything, we just chatted. He has been busy these two days and didn’t even talk much.”
“Then he still comes into your room?” Lu Liqing felt that this was even more inappropriate.
Lu Liran coughed twice and hurriedly changed the subject: “Okay I know, I won’t talk to you about this, I’m going back to rest, I’ll leave tomorrow.”
“Okay, okay. Good night then.”
Lu Liqing squinted his eyes, looking at his brother’s back as he fled away in a hurry, and couldn’t help but shake his head in his mind.
That night, His Excellency the Commander came home later again.
The door lock on the front door of Lu Liran’s room seemed to be broken, and Ke Ji’s fingerprints were not recognized—— Lu Liran apparently entered Ke Ji’s fingerprints into the system on the first day he checked in—— Seeing that the door could not be opened, Ke Ji quietly left the corridor.
The eldest brother of the Lu family lay on the bed with his arms folded, humming in his heart. Anyway, there was no way for the Ke family boy to enter his younger brother’s room today.
However, what Lu Liqing did not expect was that the Commander, who could not walk through the main entrance, climbed directly into Lu Liran’s bedroom from the outdoor balcony, which was faster and more convenient.
Ke Ji walked quietly to Lu Liran’s bedside. Looking at the sleeping faces of his partner and his little boy under the moonlight, he felt satisfied.
“Good night, babies.” He whispered, kissed the little boy’s heart, then kissed the corner of Lu Liran’s mouth, and finally whispered in the man’s ear, “Today’s share…I like you.”
Lu Liran snorted softly and turned over in his sleep. It was unknown if he dreamed about Ke Ji, the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
…
…
A good night’s rest.
Early the next morning, Lu Liran and Ke Ji were ready to set off. The Xian family airship that had been contacted in advance was already parked on the deck of the Lu family’s merchant ship.
It was the two brothers, Xian Yu and Xian Dan, who came down from the airship. When they saw Lu Liran, they quickly stepped forward:
“Brother Lu!”
“Mr. Lu!”
Lu Liran smiled slightly, nodded and said hello: “Long time no see, thank you for what happened before.”
It was only later through his big brother’s investigations that he found out that the media plane that flew in that day belonged to none other than the Xian Family.
When Lu Liqing told him, he couldn’t stop laughing. He praised the two brothers who were the heads of the Xian family as talented people. How could they have thought of bringing everyone to Salba, and deliberately left such an irritating receptionist?
“Everyone knew about the lack of signal in the Salba Desert after Brother Lu’s last live broadcast, so we just used the pretense of having team building near Salba without even going in.” Xian Yu bared his teeth and smiled.
After he finished speaking, the two brothers looked at Ke Ji, who was standing next to Lu Liran, a little restrained and frightened.
His Excellency, Commander!
Xian Dan was even more panicked. They had talked about that Commander a lot in Salba before.
Xian Dan recalled it carefully later and confirmed that he probably didn’t say anything outrageous, but when faced with Ke Ji, he still couldn’t help but give in.
“You don’t have to be so cautious. Aren’t we familiar?” Ke Ji smiled and said to Lu Liran, “I’ll go up first and wait for you on the airship.”
Lu Liran laughed when he heard his words and responded. Seeing that the Xian brothers were obviously relieved after Ke Ji turned around and walked onto the aircraft, he couldn’t help but shake his head in amazement.
“I didn’t expect him to be His Excellency the Commander.” Xian Yu exhaled.
“I said back then which Omega would carry such a heavy machete!” Xian Dan complained softly.
Xian Yu coughed lightly and quickly said: “Fortunately, our Xian family has always stood firm and has not been deceived by evil words!”
Lu Liran sneered and was noncommittal.
He looked at the two brothers and said: “Thank you for your courage to send that media plane out to challenge the Director, but were you swept by the autumn wind later?”
“No, they were so busy taking care of themselves that they didn’t have time to sweep us away.” Xian Yu waved his hand and looked at Lu Liran, “What’s more, they did something ugly. Not just us, but everyone who watched the live broadcast and heard about the deep-sea incident felt that this incident was inexplicable and caused public outrage.”
Xian Dan nodded and added: “Besides, we really went to Salba, and we didn’t deliberately ignore the former Director. If you want to cause trouble for us, you can only do it quietly, and they can’t make a big fight.”
“Thanks to Brother Lu, we got another ride.”
The three major groups, Fang Ye, Cui, and Shang, were already on top of them, suppressing and annexing small chaebols at every turn. However, since interstellar navigation was restricted by the environment, the Xian family was somewhat powerless. If they hadn’t met Lu Liran, they might have been acquired long ago.
And now, Lu’s Industrial Group has taken action to suppress the three major groups of Desolate Star. With this illegal political incident, the three groups, which were already damaged, are in huge trouble. This has allowed the Xian family to have a chance to breathe and turn over.
“Fortunately, I hugged Brother Lu’s thigh earlier.” Xian Yu grinned.
He was grateful for his good vision. The heirs of several small families who had a tea break with him in the Sky Garden had declared bankruptcy one after another in just one month. He was the only one who could still struggle to keep the Xian family’s property.
Even now, he still has the motivation to develop even better.
Lu Liran smiled. At first, he did not have any aura of identity. The cooperation with the Xian family was mutually beneficial. Even later, the Xian family sent a media plane to help, which was done before they knew his identity. In this comparison, he owed the Xian family a greater favor.
“Mr. Lu, the airship is here. If you have any requests, please tell the pilot directly.” Xian Dan said, and then he saw Lu Liqing walking towards them.
The main reason they came this time was to get close to the Lu family—— Lu Liqing was interested in them and sent a small invitation, which was enough to make them walk around the Desolate Star with their chest held high.
Lu Liran nodded slightly when he heard his words and boarded the airship.
Through the cabin window of the airship, he saw the two brothers of the Xian Family and his big brother meeting upstairs, exchanging business pleasantries.
He looked away and suddenly thought of what his big brother said the day before. He turned to Ke Ji curiously and asked: “What equipment did my Big Brother make for you?”
“You’ll know when the time comes.” Ke Ji smiled when he heard this and did not answer directly.
Lu Liran tsked lightly, still trying to show off.
He thought for a while and said: “There is still an hour before the Ghost Forest Swamp. I plan to rappel in the center of the swamp. Is there any problem?”
“No problem, just follow your arrangement, just like the previous times.” Ke Ji said, looking at him and smiling slightly, “I’m just here to make sure you are safe.”
Lu Liran’s heart beat faster for a few seconds, and Ke Ji was the first to look away.
He looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour before the previewed start time. However, this was not the first time that he had started broadcasting in advance. Before Ke Ji said something even more embarrassing in front of the two pilots, he hastily opened the live broadcast room.
The drone camera ball is released, and the live broadcast room—— [Wilderness Survival: Mud Land, Forest of Bones] is opened!
Lu Liran looked at the drone camera: “Hello everyone, I am Lu Liran, a wilderness survival expert. This time, our destination is the Ghost Forest Swamp.”
[Aaaaahhhh, squatted! I knew Brother Lu would start airing early!!!—— VermicelliBeefCasserole gifted the anchor 1x Sushi]
[I was originally very worried that Brother Lu would stop broadcasting! I have been cursing and cussing for a long time! Not bad, wuwuwu]
[Brother Lu, welcome back!!!]
[Check in here!]
[I saw Brother Lu’s copyright recommendation on the platform! Are you going to do some joint peripherals?!—— CrabbyPatty gifted the anchor 1x Top-Quality Wagyu Beef]
[I saw it too! Looking forward to it!—— RoseMochi gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki Pot]
[Brother Lu is going to open a swamp dungeon this time! The name of the live broadcast room sounds unsettling QAQ]
[Exciting! Brother Lu, start it!]
The number of people in the live broadcast room jumped to one million!
Lu Liran watched the lively comments scrolling in the live broadcast room, he nodded slightly and said: “The Ghost Forest Swamp is the largest swamp group in the wilderness. Even the locals are not willing to go deep into it.”
“But there is likewise an abundance of fairly perfectly preserved marsh flora there, creating a very different marsh landscape that has remained virtually unchanged for hundreds of years, and in turn attracts a lot of tourists to the area.”
“Most people have a misunderstanding about swamps. They seem to think that swamps are mostly silent and lacking in life.”
“But the fact is that the ecology of swamps is extremely rich, but they usually lurk under the swamps and cannot be seen at ordinary times.”
“The danger and terror of the swamp lies in its tranquility. It always turns all living things into bones in silence. How deep the pile of bones piled up under the quagmire is is unknown.”
“This time, I am going to simulate a tourist trapped in the center of the swamp. With limited survival equipment, I will show you how to survive!”
Lu Liran looked at the camera, a sharp flash of light flashing through his dark brown pupils.
[Aaaahhhh, here I come!]
[Great! Man vs Wild: The Desolate Star on the tip of your tongue, let’s do it!]
[Brother Lu: It’s hard to say anything else, but I know there’s a lot to eat this time]
Sunnyshies: Haha, Swamp Arc open!!
(~‾▿‾)~
I’m loving that the system is popping up more and more with its own thoughts and fears 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you
Finally caught up
Thanks for the chapter
Let’s go in and get swampy!
yikes I wonder what brother Lu will consume this time…
