Chapter 2 Self-recommendation
In the bar, Bi Fang drank a whole glass of ice water and shivered in the summer.
In Borneo, the rainy season can't explain anything. It's too normal. It also exists in the original world, but the word "blood orchid" is too eye-catching.
Python plague.
The famous monster movie, a landmark work on snake monsters.
The python in the movie is huge in size, moves extremely fast, and completely violates the existing rules of evolution. It is thanks to the blood orchid that it can appear.
Have you time-traveled into the plot of a movie?
Realizing this, Bi Fang kept drawing circles with his thumb, over and over again.
Anaconda's ratings are terrible, but that doesn't mean it's not an excellent work.
Whenever the "protagonist" on the screen, the giant python, appears, it always sends chills down the spine and makes one's hair stand on end.
This is enough to prove that it is successful. However, the same success in portraying the terrifying image of the giant python means that the depths of the Borneo rainforest are extremely dangerous today.
The world's large snakes are divided into two families - Anacondae and Anacondae.
Both are relatively primitive snakes with similar skeletal structures. The main difference is that pythons are oviparous and anacondas are ovoviviparous.
They are not all big, with many species less than 1 meter long.
However, no matter how big or small, all kinds of pythons and anacondas have excellent swallowing abilities. They can capture prey that is relatively large relative to their own body size, and can last for several months with one meal at the same time.
The snake eats the elephant, and its bones are born at the age of three, which is a good summary.
Big snakes in reality are far less scary than in movies. Pythons are huge and can move slowly. Like crocodiles, they are the most typical opportunistic predators. They will not actively chase and hunt like tigers, leopards and wolves, but will act like a trap.
Quietly waiting for prey to step in.
This slowness is not essentially a disadvantage; on the contrary, it is an advantage, and is one of the root causes why pythons can live for several months on one meal.
Being fast is an evolutionary direction. For example, cheetahs have a higher hunting success rate.
The same goes for slow speed and low metabolism. Eating one meal is worth ten meals, which reduces the probability of being killed and starving to death.
But the fast, big and powerful ones in the movie completely go against Bi Fang's understanding of nature and the underlying logic of the designer's construction. It can only be said that it is because of the bug of Blood Orchid.
Now that I have arrived in the world, I must face the super python that is also a bug...
Bi Fang stopped rotating his thumb, pressed it on the glass, breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly smiled.
Come on, this is so cool.
Is this Borneo not more interesting than the one on the original Earth?
On the other side, several people who entered the hotel took off their raincoats one after another and shuttled among the crowd. After getting the bartender's answer, they began to consciously move to Bifang's left hand side, while shouting the name "Jin Song" loudly.
Bi Fang watched silently, and everything happened next as he remembered. The group found the Asian first mate, then met the captain Bill Johnson, and learned that Jin and Song were just misunderstandings caused by local people's pronunciation problems.
After some unfriendly exchanges, the four of them had to agree to the captain's offer of 25,000 to rent the boat and 50,000 to the captain to sail the boat, and then left.
At this time, Bi Fang also happened to receive the good wine from the bartender. Knowing that the time had come, he immediately stepped forward to say hello.
"Hey Johnson, would you be interested in letting me join you as an extra guest on the ship?"
Bi Fang put his arm around Johnson's shoulders, handed the wine to the captain and sat down next to him, very familiar with him.
Captain Johnson is a frequent visitor to the tavern and has also participated in the "Story Club". The two have communicated with each other for a long time and are not too unfamiliar.
It's just that Johnson's name is so popular that Bi Fang didn't think of the Python Disaster at all.
Johnson picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully, put it in his arms with satisfaction, raised his eyebrows and looked at the foursome who were about to leave the tavern: "They have rented my boat, you have to ask them."
Bi Fang shook his head: "No, I mean, let you have one more employee on the ship."
I don’t know what the idea was in the movie, but the group of people looking for blood orchids seemed to have no sense of confidentiality at all. When they were looking for a boat, they started discussing the flowering period of blood orchids in front of everyone.
But this does not mean that Bi Fang can easily sneak into their team. After all, it is a strange plant that is suspected of having the ability to "immortality" and "evolution". No one wants to go upstream. Suddenly someone wants to follow them.
It's too strange no matter how you think about it, not to mention that the two parties don't know each other at all.
Instead of trying to sneak into the flower-hunting group, it would be better to go directly to the captain in front of you. At least the two parties have known each other before.
As a crew member, you naturally have to follow the ship, which couldn't be more reasonable.
Johnson wondered: "Why?"
"You know, I am an adventurer, and the purpose of my coming to Borneo is for adventure." Bi Fang smiled, "Of course, you don't have to pay me a salary. This is a great deal, isn't it? You don't need to spend a penny,
You can have a hunting master and survival expert on the boat to go with you to the dangerous upper reaches of the river in the rainy season."
Johnson was speechless, but when he thought about it carefully, it actually made sense.
Bi Fang's hunting skills have been fully demonstrated in this half month. As for his survivability, being able to enter and exit seven times in the Borneo rainforest, even on the periphery, already shows a lot. Even if he cannot be called an expert, he is at least a good player.
, it’s definitely not a loss to be a crew member on a ship. The most important thing is that it doesn’t cost any money.
"I think it's a good idea."
The deputy on the side, Aquan, laughed and said, maybe because he was an Asian, Bi Fang made him feel friendly, and he started to help, "I asked, in addition to the current four, there are two more people who are going to get on the boat, and they don't have any information."
It is not easy to experience the rainforest and go in to find some strange flowers. With Mr. Fang joining us, it will be more convenient for us. At least three people can look at six people and they can see through it."
Everyone knows how difficult it is to watch an inexperienced novice enter the rainforest, especially when there are many people. You never know what "talents" are waiting for you inside.
Thinking of this, Johnson's heart moved.
Bi Fang struck while the iron was hot: "I think Aquan is right. It's dangerous to go upriver in the rainy season, isn't it? These six people are clumsy and you will be overwhelmed. When the time comes, leave them all to me and you can just sail the boat."
"Okay, I have to admit, you convinced me." Johnson was not too stubborn, and shook hands with Bi Fang, "Welcome to join, my new crew member."
In the film, Johnson, as the last survivor, naturally appears in a positive image.
At the same time, Bi Fang has already proven that he is not a drag, but a reliable helper. In addition, he is also a good person. Every time he catches a lot of prey, he will share it with everyone. Johnson did not have much resistance and immediately agreed.
.
Bi Fang and Aquan looked at each other and laughed.
