285: Chapter 285 This is a desecration of the personal space!!
An Ke's words gave all the viewers in the live broadcast room a huge fright.
They seriously doubted whether he was joking.
"These trees are at least five or six stories tall. Can Boss An really catch them?"
"Even though Boss An is now beyond ordinary, it's still a bit risky."
"If he makes a mistake, he could get seriously hurt."
"Besides, the durian's outer shell is covered in thorns. How is Boss An supposed to catch it?"
"He's probably just joking..."
"..."
The audience all believed An Ke was joking.
Although his physical constitution had improved, the human head was still a vital, vulnerable spot.
A heavy blow could mean never waking up again.
In the program, Professor Wu stroked his chin:
"According to records, the old-era method of harvesting durians was indeed as An Ke described."
"One person would climb the durian tree to pick them, while another person waited below to catch the durians."
The viewers were utterly astonished.
"No way, that's fake, right?"
"From such a height, how could the person below possibly catch them?"
"Even if it weren't that high, if someone threw one at me, I wouldn't dare catch it.
The thing is covered in thorns."
"Which subordinate general was that brave?"
"Could it have been the Ah San?"
"Such an outrageous operation, I also feel it must have been the Ah San."
"After all, they're the tough guys who just confronted a mother lizard head-on."
"I heard they didn't even spare the exhaust port. 'Tough guy' doesn't even begin to describe it."
"Absolute madmen..."
In the program, Professor Wu was amused by the bullet comments.
However, as a professional, he still stepped in to explain.
Durians are primarily produced in Southeast Asia and are specialties of countries like the Ladyboy Country, Malay Country, and Indonesia Country.
As for catching durians...
"The catcher naturally uses tools to catch them.
Mostly, they use burlap cloth..."
As he spoke, Professor Wu posted a video he found of durian-catching into the bullet comments.
After watching it, everyone felt it looked like a huge hassle and danger.
"This job is way too dangerous, isn't it?"
"By the way, are there any videos of failed durian-catching attempts?"
"Hey, the person above, be a decent human being!"
"I'm just curious, the technology in the old era was similar to ours now, right?
Why didn't they use machines?
That would greatly increase safety."
"Hey, the person above, is it possible that using humans to catch them allowed them to sell for a higher price..."
"..."
Back in the live broadcast.
Leopard Mom frowned, worried: "Benefactor, isn't it bad to just let that Flirty Bird throw them down?"
Tiger Mom nodded in agreement.
A heavy object over 10 pounds falling from a great height—even if it hit her, she'd be laid up for several days.
"Boss, why not let this humble one catch them instead?"
Savage Yi also stepped forward. Nowadays, he could be considered the representative of the savages.
His words represented the thoughts of the savages.
"Chieftain, perhaps you should let us handle this."
"Yes! Yes!"
"I know you are immensely capable, Chieftain, but catching them bare-handed still carries some risk."
"..."
An Ke shook his head, confidently indicating it wasn't necessary.
The reason he wanted to do it this way was because Condition Three only allotted ten minutes.
Moreover, besides picking 20 durians, they all had to be eaten.
Time was not abundant.
They had to shorten the harvesting time.
"Jin Gang, take action!"
"Master, are you sure?" Jin Gang was a bit timid.
What if An Ke didn't catch it and it hit him?
Wouldn't its bird-life be utterly finished?
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll roast you!"
"Mission accomplished!!"
Jin Gang gave a start, then immediately flew up to the durian tree.
It aimed at a durian larger than a basketball and shouted:
"This Muscle Man will snap you off!"
Jin Gang easily broke the durian's stem.
Then it grabbed the stem and hurled the durian towards An Ke.
"Master, if you can't catch it, you can't blame me!"
That durian, larger than a basketball, flew straight towards An Ke's face.
All the animals and savages watched with bated breath.
Was he really sure this was okay?
Tiger Mom, Leopard Mom, Hua Hua, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey—they even dared not look.
An Ke held a very high position in their hearts, which was precisely why they feared him getting hurt.
"The boss is truly the boss, ruthless enough!" Barbie Hippopotamus clicked its tongue.
The thorns on the durian were extremely hard.
Even though they had thick, rough hides, none of them dared to catch a durian falling from such a height, yet An Ke dared.
The key point was catching it bare-handed. Was he that ferocious?
Wouldn't he get injured?
He definitely would...
Just as the Hippopotamus's thoughts raced, it saw the durian that was about to hit An Ke disappear.
"Huh??"
Barbie Hippopotamus widened its eyes, its expression stunned.
"The, the durian?! Where did it go?!"
Barbie Hippopotamus looked left and right but couldn't find any trace of the durian.
It wasn't in An Ke's hands, nor had it fallen to the ground.
For a moment, Barbie Hippopotamus stood frozen in place, its expression seeming to short-circuit.
Meanwhile, all the surrounding animals and savages suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is!" Leopard Mom revealed a smile.
Tiger Mom also shed her worry: "The master is still formidable.
I was worried for nothing just now."
The animals and savages all realized An Ke wasn't catching them bare-handed and were completely relieved.
Outside, the live broadcast audience also realized belatedly, and the atmosphere instantly turned cheerful.
"As expected of Boss An!"
"Our imagination was lacking, worrying about unnecessary things."
"Feels like [Portable Space] is going to be used by Boss An in all sorts of wild ways. It can even be used to catch durians."
"..."
The Foreigners watching in the live broadcast room directly curled their lips in disdain.
Such an overpowering ability as the Portable Space, and that kid from Dragon Country uses it to catch durians?
This is blasphemy against the powerful ability that is the Portable Space, okay?
If their own contestants found out An Ke was using the Portable Space to catch durians, how would they react?
They'd definitely feel worse than eating shit...
Back in the live broadcast.
The corner of An Ke's mouth turned up: "Want to learn about the correct way to use the Portable Space?"
Jin Gang immediately became lively again.
It had just been worried An Ke wouldn't catch it and it would become roast bird.
Now it wasn't worried at all.
"Master, This Muscle Man is going to hit a home run this time!!"
Saying this, Jin Gang acted again, throwing another durian at An Ke.
Barbie Hippopotamus strained its eyes wide open.
It absolutely had to see clearly where the durian went.
But just as the durian was about to hit An Ke, it once again disappeared.
Barbie Hippopotamus's mouth fell slightly open, its entire horse-face filled with shock.
It was now completely certain of one thing: the durian had truly vanished.
"Wha, what did the boss do??"
"Why did the durian disappear?"
"My equine worldview is about to shatter."
Barbie Hippopotamus now desperately wanted to rush back to its herd and tell its buddies what it had witnessed.
It was a good thing they hadn't fought An Ke earlier and had obediently knelt down instead.
Otherwise, they might have disappeared too.
The boss was too terrifying...
At the same time, Jin Gang successively hurled durians, and An Ke caught them all using the [Portable Space].
By the time all 20 were picked, it had only taken a little over a minute.
Even less than the anticipated two minutes.
However, An Ke didn't dare to slack off. He immediately ran over, grabbed Three Hairs.
Then he started using it to open the durians.
Tool Three Hairs was now online.
Such a scene, overturning everyday norms, felt perfectly ordinary to the animals and savages.
Only Barbie Hippopotamus was dumbfounded once more.
"The, the durians are back?!"
