That evening, Jiang Feng settled the popularity value.
The system's voice rang out:
"The total number of people online for more than a minute today is 194,328, with an average online duration of 2.3 hours, earning a popularity value of 446,954.4"
"Current total popularity value: 520,094.4"
Jiang Feng made a simple comparison with the data from yesterday.
The number of people online in the live stream is similar, indicating the traffic is very stable, always within a fixed pool, with people coming and going.
But the average online duration has more than doubled, which means the number of true fans in the live stream has increased.
"Reached 500,000, quite fast."
"Let's have five basic lotteries."
Jiang Feng immediately chose to draw the lottery.
"The host chooses five basic lotteries, drawing....."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the following items:"
"1 bottle of Special Red Flower Oil, a special medicine for treating bruises and injuries, with miraculous effects on external injuries."
"1 Special Nutritional Pill, a highly concentrated nutritional pill that quickly replenishes the body's required energy, improving recovery ability, effective for both humans and animals."
"1 Pair of Xtep Sports Shoes."
"1 Cooling Straw Hat, a magical hat that becomes cool to wear, to match nature better, the hat is green in color, looking fresh and gentle."
The first four times were all item rewards.
The rewards were diverse, but since they were free from the system, Jiang Feng was happy.
The only thing was that this Cooling Straw Hat was green, leaving him a bit speechless.
Better let someone else wear this hat.
The fifth draw began, and at this moment, a golden light flashed before his eyes.
Golden Legend!
Gold is the color of skills.
The system's prompt sounded as well:
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Horse Taming Specialization."
"Horse Taming Specialization: The host transforms into a Grandmaster Level Horse Trainer on the prairie, enhancing horse taming abilities."
Upon hearing this prompt, Jiang Feng's expression lit up with joy.
"Great stuff!"
Jiang Feng laughed.
The news brought by Yang Maolin today made Jiang Feng too excited to fall asleep.
The second-generation wild horse on the prairie can attract professional Horse Tamers, indicating that its temperament must be excellent.
The temperament of horses varies greatly, and so does their price.
Some horses can be bought for tens of thousands, while some are worth millions of RMB, no cheaper than luxury cars.
Jiang Feng's family only has ordinary domestic horses, a little over 20 in total, raised for daily riding.
After all, it is a large ranch, and not having a few horses is like a wealthy family without a car.
But he also wanted a good horse.
Buying a good horse would cost at least a few hundred thousand, or even millions for a top one.
But the second-generation wild horses on the prairie, if tamed, can be brought home and raised.
Jiang Feng was tempted and planned to go to the depths of the prairie to find a horse tomorrow.
That night, he slept deeply.
In his dreams, he saw himself riding a red steed galloping across the prairie, its red mane flowing in the wind like flames.
Above the ranch, the sky was full of stars.
The prairie appeared somewhat mysterious in the night, something seemed to be moving in the darkness, with many nocturnal creatures emerging at this time.
Rabbits and mice, afraid of being preyed on by birds of prey during the day, also came out at this time to forage.
There are many rabbits on the prairie, but there are also many birds of prey, and with sufficient daylight, no animal can escape the eyes of the predators.
Rabbits carefully nibble on grass, and because both rabbits and mice come out, snakes and foxes also emerge from the forest area.
The foxes' eyes reflect light.
The vibrant vitality of nature is displayed in another way at night.
Until the sun rises, and the sunlight shines upon the prairie.
The great prairie returns to tranquility.
Within the ranch, the employees have breakfast and drink fresh hot milk.
The taste of pure milk is far better than the milk bought from stores and is also more nutritious.
Jiang Feng chooses to start the live stream.
This time is just when many office workers begin their commute.
Office workers in small cities are still asleep; for them, waking up, using the bathroom, washing their face, and hurrying to work is enough, as it is not far.
White collar workers in big cities are rushing to work by subway.
Many choose to watch videos to pass the time on their way.
Among them, some people opened Jiang Feng's live stream.
At the same time, through the internet, they can see the lives of people from different places.
After breakfast, Jiang Feng organizes the ranch for sheep herding.
Along with Yang Maolin's shouting, four sheep pens open simultaneously.
Then, the sheep, hungry through the night, begin to walk out of the pens.
It was like turning on four taps, with cotton candy slowly flowing out from the taps.
The scene was quite spectacular.
The flock starts moving out.
Jiang Feng rides a brown horse, staying at the back of the sheep.
Yang Maolin and two other employees are on the side of the flock.
Jiang Feng speaks to the live stream viewers:
"Releasing so many sheep is both troublesome and simple."
"As long as the lead sheep moves forward, the rest will follow."
"The social and following nature of sheep is strong, it walks if the front walks."
"So, just manage the lead sheep well."
The number of people in the live stream exceeded 50,000+
People watched the scene of the sheep going out and constantly sent bullet comments in response.
This adds a greater sense of participation, making the cloud shepherding experience better.
[The train runs fast, all thanks to the engine!]
[Shepherding reflects life, and isn't the officialdom the same!]
[I just love seeing netizens brag, deriving life truths even from sheep herding!]
[Hahaha, mainly because the host makes so much sense, it just feels like life is like this too.]
The flocks emerge from the pen, facing the prairie sun.
The pen is now empty of sheep.
Then, Niu Erhu releases the cattle as well.
Generally, sheep are released farther from the ranch, while cattle are released closer.
A large group of cattle also start to walk out of the ranch.
Jiang Feng rides a horse, following at the end of the cattle.
At this point, Xiaojin Hua runs out from the ranch, barking wildly on the side.
Judging by its appearance, it wants to go out too.
Jiang Feng, on horseback, looks at Xiaojin Hua, and says:
"Don't go, today I'm going to the depths of the prairie, I can't take care of you, just stay at home."
Xiaojin Hua wags its tail, barking twice again.
Jiang Feng thinks for a moment, then jumps off the horse and picks up Xiaojin Hua with one hand.
"The Golden Eagle has been showing up these past few days, and if you're out like this, you'd better not get caught by it as a snack."
"Better take you along."
He mounts the horse again and puts the Little Border Collie on the saddle.
Jiang Feng looks up to the sky, feeling something is watching him.
This feeling is peculiar, but he doesn't think much of it.
The cattle and sheep begin moving towards the prairie.
Jiang Feng follows leisurely behind.
Another day at the ranch begins.
Meanwhile, Jiang Feng looks into the depths of the prairie.
In his heart, an indistinct anticipation arises.
