Chapter 77 Snow Bath, Crossing Over Based on Looks!
Chapter 77 Snow Bath, Crossing Over Based on Looks!
Knowing that he was left alone in the wilderness, editing the videos to create something engaging naturally required considerable effort. Fortunately, Yuan Linghan didn't disappoint the production team, consistently contributing interesting clips for post-production editing.
Knowing the situation, Dim couldn't help but say, "If all the contestants from previous seasons were as sensible as him, we wouldn't have to worry about the post-production editing at all. It's just a pity that contestants who understand hunting and recording like him are too rare."
For loyal viewers of "Living Alone in the Wild," although they watch every season, they mostly focus on the early competitions. In the later stages, when there are few contestants left, many videos seem boring and tedious.
Because most athletes, with ample food supplies, would never venture out into danger.
If you don't go out and just stay in the makeshift shelter every day, what interesting videos can you possibly record?
Unlike the other contestants, even though he had already secured the victory and had enough food to last him another hundred days, Yuan Linghan would still choose a good day to go outdoors and show the audience the harsh conditions of the deep mountains and forests.
On some snow slopes with sparse vegetation, Yuan Linghan even used his homemade skis to record a video of himself skiing through the jungle for the audience. The day before filming wrapped, he even gave the audience an extra treat!
Standing in the snow, Yuan Linghan said to the body camera that had been set up, "Tomorrow is the last day of my 100-day solo life in the wilderness. I think I should pack up properly and leave here in high spirits and good condition."
When I first arrived at Black Bear Bay, I thought a hundred days would be a very long time. But thinking about leaving tomorrow, I suddenly felt a little reluctant to go. So before leaving, I decided to take some time to tidy up my personal hygiene.
After saying this, Yuan Linghan continued, "In this kind of weather, it's hard to find a suitable place for winter swimming, and it's also difficult to find a place and equipment to heat water for a bath. So, I plan to just have a snow bath."
Of course, it's best not to imitate this kind of snow bathing lightly, as it can easily cause harm to the body. Unless you, like me, have received professional training and have a thorough understanding of snow bathing, you should avoid it.
Snow bathing, as the name suggests, involves bathing in snow. In reality, it is a cold-resistance training exercise for soldiers or polar groups, where they rub their bodies with snow in the extreme cold, rather than a real bath. Yuan Linghan had practiced this training many times when he served in Gaoxue.
But for ordinary people, attempting this kind of snow bathing requires immense courage. Keep in mind that temperatures in Black Bear Bay have currently dropped to minus twenty or thirty degrees Celsius. Most people would rather stay indoors with a fireplace and heating all day.
Asking them to come outdoors, take off their outer clothes, and wipe their bodies with snow—what's the difference between that and suicide or courting death?
In fact, when the program crew saw Yuan Linghan talking to himself and taking off his thick shirt, his body muscles were clearly defined as if they had been carved by a knife, his biceps were as bulging as a full moon, and his eight-pack abs were shiny.
The staff still couldn't understand why Yuan Linghan would do something that was practically self-harm.
When he saw Yuan Linghan begin to wipe his upper body with the pristine snow, the well-informed Tim exclaimed, "I never expected this kid to have the courage to take a snow bath."
"Manager, snow bath? What does that mean?"
"This is a type of bathing that few people in Canada dare to try. Besides requiring extraordinary courage, it also requires a high level of expertise. Ordinary people with poor physical condition are not advised to try this snow bath, as it can easily cause frostbite."
The fixed cameras installed by the production team could only allow staff to see what Yuan Linghan was doing, but the videos recorded by the camera she carried with her later showed her golden-ratio figure, which made countless women on foreign websites drool.
Even many women on foreign websites were surprised that men from China could have such powerful physiques. Compared to the muscular men commonly seen in the West, they found Yuan Linghan's physique, with its combination of strength and natural beauty, to be far more alluring!
This five-minute video, after being uploaded by Douyin (TikTok's Chinese version), instantly attracted the attention and curiosity of countless women. Zhao Liying, who had met Yuan Linghan, blushed and exclaimed, "I never expected Dudu to eat so well!"
Only Chen Duling, who had personally experienced the immense impact this body could have, later playfully complained to Yuan Linghan, asking why he had to give the netizens a treat. In her view, shouldn't this body belong exclusively to her?
Yuan Linghan explained helplessly, "For the last ten days of filming, I was the only person in the entire production team. To attract more attention and to show the outside world that I deserved the championship, I had to give out some extra perks!"
Don't worry, while they may be just eyeing the opportunity, you'll have the chance to experience it firsthand. Whenever you wish, I'm ready to do anything for you, ensuring you leave feeling truly satisfied!
After being teased, Chen Duling didn't say much in the end, faced with Yuan Linghan's explanation. In fact, every time she was with Yuan Linghan, while she felt happy and fulfilled, she sometimes also felt a little scared and guilty.
After all, she knew very well that if she couldn't truly satisfy Yuan Linghan, who knew if this man would cheat on her in the future?
She finally understood what the bittersweet feeling of happiness was!
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later, so let's leave them aside for now!
Yuan Linghan, who was taking a snow bath at the moment, explained while wiping his body with snow: "Medical evidence shows that snow baths can actually bring three benefits to people, but I don't recommend that ordinary people try it."
Occasional snow bathing can improve myocardial contractility and oxygen uptake, and regulate nerve activity. Although it may feel uncomfortable and painful at first, once you master the techniques, experiencing it occasionally can give you a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction afterward.
In just a few minutes, the video clearly shows that Yuan Linghan's body was not frozen stiff at all; on the contrary, it became steaming warm. This unusual behavior is enough to show that Yuan Linghan did not suffer from frostbite during the entire snow bathing process.
On the contrary, his body had begun to dissipate heat, resisting the low temperatures that were trying to penetrate it. However, later attempts by others revealed that reaching Yuan Linghan's level was truly not an easy task.
"Full of youthful vigor" is often used to describe young people. But not all young people can rub themselves in the freezing snow until they're steaming!
After finishing his snow bath and returning to the shelter, Yuan Linghan immediately used a custom-made hunting knife to shave his head and beard. He then washed his hair with boiling water, changed into clean and fresh clothes, and his appearance instantly underwent a dramatic transformation.
Having spent a hundred days in the wilderness without properly maintaining personal hygiene, Yuan Linghan felt it was quite necessary to groom himself before leaving. This scene, when later shown in the video, earned Yuan Linghan a large number of fans who admired his good looks.
Especially in Southeast Asia, young girls who love following idols are instantly captivated by Yuan Linghan's good looks and style. This crossover ability has surprised many top male stars in the entertainment industry.
Tired of those pretty-boy idols, Yuan Linghan, a strong, handsome, and rugged crossover idol, is indeed very popular among young women. When Yuan Linghan later learned the news, he also found it somewhat unbelievable.
After all, Yuan Linghan, who aspires to become a top wilderness hunter, values personal hygiene and appearance. But when actually in the wilderness, he certainly won't care about such things. Only when he leaves the wilderness and returns to the city will he take the time to groom himself!
