Teacher Shi smiled calmly. This was not the first time he was asked this kind of question.
When he was young and at the peak of his popularity, he was asked this question for the first time during an interview. Although he was a little surprised, he still answered it very seriously.
For example, you need to answer questions about different people, different geographical environments, different families of snakes, etc., and ask what is the appropriate way to deal with them.
Then, not long after, he was sued.
Someone challenged a king cobra and tried to touch its head at close range, but was bitten and chased all the way. He then said that the escape method given by Mr. Shi was ineffective.
Therefore, when interviewed later, Mr. Shi's main point was to tell them to stay away from wild animals like snakes. If you get too close to them and don't understand their habits and don't react quickly enough, running is useless. Avoiding them is the most important thing.
When asked this question again during the live broadcast, Mr. Shi smiled naturally and said, "It depends on what kind of snake it is."
Cheng Si glanced at the comments, "What if it's a five or six meter KC?"
KC is the English abbreviation of King Cobra.
When he heard the words “five or six meters of KC”, Teacher Shi’s eyes sparkled with burning light.
"There is such a good thing?!!"
Cheng Si: “…”
I almost forgot, in the eyes of herpetologists, especially people like Mr. Shi who have a strong interest in snakes, this is indeed a good thing, and they will probably be very happy.
Even in Mr. Shi’s industry, many people go to various places around the world to look for large king cobras.
"Ahem, sorry." Teacher Shi apologized, "This is something I've always dreamed of. I've been to many places and participated in field surveys in many countries, but I don't know if it's due to the abnormal climate period, their numbers have decreased a lot, and they may have recovered in recent years, but I don't know the specific situation, the data is not enough.
"The largest king cobra I have ever encountered was 3.6 meters long. I encountered it during a scientific expedition abroad. Among snakes, I do have a preference for king cobras.
"Snakes are relatively low in intelligence among reptiles, but in my opinion, king cobras are different from other snakes. I see the contempt and wisdom of the king in their eyes..."
Then he blah blah blah blah, just like a KC blowing.
Although Mr. Shi later returned to the question and talked about some coping methods and first aid methods when encountering snakes, the focus was on how to avoid such crises rather than what to do when encountering a crisis.
But Feng Yi didn't listen to those.
He kept repeating a sentence in his mind:
"Snakes are at the bottom of the reptile world in terms of IQ!"
Suddenly I felt a sense of crisis!
If his brain doesn't evolve faster, he might really be facing an IQ crisis!
Feng Yi thought about this reality problem with a heavy heart. When he came to his senses, the live broadcast over there had ended and the people watching around him slowly dispersed.
The interviewed teacher Shi was surrounded by people asking for his autograph.
Cheng Si was talking to his colleagues, discussing how to do the video editing for the next period of time. When his eyes swept around, they stopped on Feng Yi.
"Feng Yi?! Are you here today?" Cheng Si walked over quickly.
"Well. Do you know me?" Feng Yi asked in confusion.
"I've seen the list of South 6 teams, and I've seen your photo. I thought you looked familiar, and I searched and found out you're a star! I've even seen the web series you starred in! You acted really well!"
"I'm not really a star. I've only played a supporting role in a web drama. Now I'm changing my career." Feng Yi said.
Hearing that Feng Yi didn't want to talk more, Cheng Si was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions. He stretched out his hand and smiled friendly, "My name is Cheng Si, Cheng means a bright future, Si means vast and unrestrained. From now on, we will be teammates! Please take care of me!"
Feng Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, "Let's help each other."
"Oh! That's right! Our South 6 team is led by Professor Zhou from the University of Science and Technology. He said that after we arrive, we will have three days to adapt to the climate here, and the team will set off in three days."
To put it bluntly, this sentence means: If you can't adapt to the local climate or environment, get out as soon as possible!
This was not a problem for Feng Yi, who even felt that the climate in the Nanchong Nature Reserve was more comfortable. He ignored this and continued to ask Cheng Si, who knew a lot of information.
Cheng Si is not like Feng Yi, who came here just for the points. He finally got the opportunity to cooperate with the South 6 Team. There are more things to do and the information he knows is more comprehensive.
"How many people are there in South Team 6 this time?" Feng Yi asked.
"If you're asking about the South 6 Team that went deep into the mountains to investigate, there are less than ten people," Cheng Si said.
Team South 6 also has a deputy team leader who leads more people, but most of them are responsible for teaching or publicity tasks, and most of the people they lead are college students, with a small number of minors.
He learned more information from Cheng Si and exchanged contact information with Cheng Si. During the next three days, except for being called to the team meetings at night to get familiar with his teammates, Feng Yi basically went out to find food during the day.
It became inconvenient after joining the team, so Feng Yi took advantage of these three days to eat a lot to store up some energy.
Three days later.
Feng Yi put on the clothes issued to him, took the tools he was given, went to the assembly point, and then set off under the leadership of Professor Zhou from HKUST.
While the other teams were still preparing, South 6 Team was the first to set off.
There were indeed less than ten people in the team.
Professor Zhou from HKUST, Professor Zhu from AU, Researcher Xie from a certain research institute, Teacher Steve Shi, and Teacher Lei who is in charge of photography and communication are all experienced teachers with an average age of only 40. Those who are too young do not have enough experience and knowledge, and those who are too old cannot bear it physically.
In addition to these five people, Professor Zhou's student Li Han and Professor Zhu's student Wang Wentao also followed their old mentors to participate in the scientific expedition to the Nanchong Nature Reserve for the first time.
However, unlike Feng Yi, these two people have more experience in field work. They were brought here this time with a mission, one for a master's thesis and the other for a doctoral thesis.
Including Feng Yi and Cheng Si, there are a total of 9 people in the team.
Feng Yi had a clear idea of the situation.
As a layman, he had to act as a tool in front of these professionals.
When needed, help catch some snakes, get some things, and cooperate with data collection. When not needed, just follow quietly by the side.
Let Cheng Si be the one who gets to be in the limelight. Cheng Si needs to run the business and also has to do live broadcasts with the scientific expedition team.
Feng Yi doesn't have to worry about anything. He just needs to act as a guard when they are busy. The most important thing is to follow them smoothly for two months and get points.
However, Feng Yi has no psychological burden, but others may not feel the same way.
This might be the first time to participate in such an activity. Cheng Si, who usually talks a lot, was a little nervous, especially when there were fewer and fewer traces of human activities around him. He was always nervous and staring at his surroundings. Outdoor activities are different from real mountains and jungles. Moreover, there are many snakes in the mountains of Nanchong. What if he accidentally steps on a poisonous snake
Perhaps feeling that the atmosphere in the team was too serious, the leader, Professor Zhou, chuckled.
"Xiao Si, Feng Yi, Li Han and Wang Wentao, the four of you are all here for the first time in Nanchong Nature Reserve, but you all have some experience. How about you four compete to see who can spot the snake first
"Old Zhu and I don't have many points to distribute on our own, so we'll each take one point as a reward. Old Xie, what about you?"
Professor Zhou looked at Researcher Xie.
Researcher Xie was very reluctant. He would rather pay money than give up his points, which were precious to him!
I was complaining in my heart, why do we have to pay points to improve the enthusiasm of the team members? Can't we just pay money
But you can't be weak in front of these young people.
Researcher Xie gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one point too!"
"Okay! That's three points! Let's see who of you has the ability to get these three points at the beginning!" Professor Zhou looked at Feng Yi and the other three with encouragement.
"You are all young people in your 20s, experienced and sharp-eyed. The three of us will not interfere or show favoritism, Steve will keep his mouth shut, and Teacher Lei will remain silent! It all depends on your own abilities to earn these extra 3 points!" said Professor Zhu.
Three points are indeed few compared to 1,000 points, but it is an extra bonus! 3 points are still points!
It just says you get points if you find it! It doesn't say you have to catch it yourself!
What a bargain!
A big catfish like that coming ashore from the water only gets 15 points, not to mention the added value of being an invasive species and its size. Even if Feng Yi caught 100 mice, he still wouldn't get three points.
So, Feng Yi, who had originally planned to be a tool for two months, became excited.
If you talk about points, I'll get excited!
I'm serious!
