Interstellar president (Live Broadcast 2): That’s Gu Juntian!

People who went to explore the Dinosaur Planet had encountered all kinds of mishaps lately.

Although Dinosaur Planet had many large dinosaurs, humans nowadays have already been injected with genetic and evolution serums, granting them evolutionary enhancements.

In addition, the government provided everyone with a personal protective shield developed by Gu Juntian, so the explorers’ lives were well protected.

But having their lives protected didn’t mean they were living comfortably.

Some people ate random things and got such bad diarrhea they were completely drained. Others sprained their ankles and couldn’t walk. Some didn’t bring full gear and ended up sleeping in the rain at night.

As for being chased by dinosaurs—that was practically a daily occurrence.

At this moment, the man running toward Gu Juntian and the others wasn’t being chased by a dinosaur for the first time.

His name was A Zheng, an outdoor hiking enthusiast in his forties.

His genetic stability was low, and he had known since childhood that he wouldn’t live long. Add to that his love for nature—after graduating from university, he didn’t get a regular job but became an outdoor livestreamer, constantly exploring the world.

He thought he would keep doing that until his genes started collapsing, then he’d go home and wait for death.

But before his genes even began to collapse, the gene agent was developed!

Twelve years ago, when A Zheng was diagnosed with gene collapse syndrome, he was among the first to use the serum. He then discovered that his already excellent physical fitness had improved even more—his strength had become extraordinary.

Routes that once took great effort to complete were now a breeze!

A Zheng was overjoyed. In two years, he explored all the dangerous areas of the Capital Star and made a lot of money in the process.

Just as he began to feel that the mountains and rivers of the Capital Star were no longer challenging, the evolution agent was released!

After injecting the evolution serum, A Zheng’s physical capabilities improved further. Plus, alien planets were now connected to the internet… A Zheng began exploring other planets and livestreaming his adventures.

Naturally, he joined this Dinosaur Planet expedition too.

Thinking the planet wouldn’t be too difficult, he deliberately brought only minimal supplies, planning to live primitively on the Dinosaur Planet.

Now, as he ran, he spoke to his livestream audience: “I’ll escape again this time! I absolutely refuse to use the protective shield!”

“Who am I? I’m the super-strong A Zheng!”

“Dinosaur Planet is nothing…”

…

His words sounded confident, but his face was twisted with strain. His clothes were in tatters and covered in wounds.

To challenge himself, he hadn’t even worn proper combat gear.

Viewers of the livestream felt sorry for him: “A Zheng’s starting to look more and more like a beggar.” 

“He’s really unlucky. How many times has he been chased by a dinosaur now?” 

“He hasn’t even harmed the dinosaurs. Why do they keep chasing him?” 

“Maybe he looks delicious?”

…

While the viewers were chatting, someone suddenly said: “A Zheng is running toward where Young Master Jun and Xiao Huang are camping!”

“A Zheng, you’d better change direction, or you’ll disturb the couple.”

“Well, maybe a little interruption is fine. I want to see Young Master Jun panicking!”

…

The comments kept flowing, but A Zheng had no time to read them. All he could do now was run straight ahead.

It was getting dark. If he didn’t escape and the dinosaur caught up, his protective shield would automatically activate.

He didn’t want that to happen!

At that moment, while running with his head down, A Zheng reached a lake and spotted a small house.

A house? Someone else exploring the Dinosaur Planet was here?

And they brought a house?

Not wanting to trouble others, A Zheng considered changing direction—but it was already too late!

Just as the dinosaur was about to catch him, he dove into the water headfirst.

Right then, the dinosaur chasing him arrived…

Gu Juntian and his group had already been alerted to a dinosaur approaching. The little spider had even scanned it: “A newly matured T. rex, about 15 meters long, weighing around 12 tons…”

“That dino looks pretty fierce!” Gu Juntian asked Zhou Qinghao, “Xiao Huang, should we tame it as a mount?”

Zhou Qinghao smiled and said, “Sure.”

“Then I’m going in!” Without a second thought, Gu Juntian charged forward.

Livestream viewers had already warned Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao to be careful.

Now, seeing Gu Juntian rushing toward the T. rex, they were panicking: “Young Master Jun, be careful!” 

“The shield is strong, but it’s not invincible!” 

“That T. rex is huge—don’t be reckless!”

…

The government-issued protective shield had very strong defense capabilities. It could be activated manually or automatically when the user was in danger.

Once triggered, the shield formed a ball-like barrier around the user—completely impervious to weapons. At least on Dinosaur Planet, the dinosaurs couldn’t break this “ball.”

But they could keep attacking it, kicking and stomping it around.

Previously, one explorer activated his shield and got kicked and stomped by a group of dinosaurs. He ended up with a concussion and psychological trauma.

Who would’ve thought he’d one day be kicked around like a soccer ball?

Now Young Master Jun was charging straight at the T. rex—like throwing a lamb to a tiger. All the livestream viewers were sweating with anxiety.

Of course, some were secretly hoping to see Young Master Jun get kicked around.

But what happened next surprised everyone!

After charging at the T. rex, Young Master Jun nimbly climbed onto its back and began fighting it.

The T. rex tried to kill the guy on its back, but Young Master Jun’s movements were too fast—the dinosaur couldn’t land a single hit!

Even more shocking, Young Master Jun’s punch made the T. rex’s head twist to the side!

“Holy crap!” A Zheng, lying by the lake, was completely stunned.

Just then, Xiao Huang grabbed A Zheng out of the water and tossed him aside: “Why are you so careless?”

A Zheng landed on the shore, confused—then saw a group of crocodiles climbing out of the lake.

He gasped in horror and was just about to scream when Xiao Huang kicked each crocodile back into the pond, one by one.

Only then did A Zheng snap out of it. He looked at Gu Juntian, then at Zhou Qinghao, and finally spat out two words: “Badass!”

Meanwhile, in the livestream chat, viewers were shouting the same thing.

“I’m losing it—Young Master Jun is this powerful?”

“Xiao Huang is crazy strong too!”

“I thought these two could only survive on Dinosaur Planet because of their gear, but they’re way more capable than A Zheng!”

“Young Master Jun said he had training… Could it actually be true?”

…

As people were still talking, they saw Young Master Jun had already subdued the T. rex.

The previously ferocious T. rex was pinned to the ground, whimpering in submission.

The chat exploded, just as Gu Juntian stood up from the T. rex and said to Zhou Qinghao, “Xiao Huang, tomorrow we can ride the dino!”

Then he gave orders to A Zhu (the little spider): “A Zhu, restrain this T. rex and heal its wounds—I’m riding him tomorrow.”

A Zhu immediately sent out a small robot to control the T. rex.

Gu Juntian was very satisfied with how things turned out. He asked A Zhu to prepare a shower—he wanted to clean up.

After he finished showering, Zhou Qinghao, with the help of the robots, had already cooked several delicious dishes.

During this time, crocodiles from the lake, drawn by the smell, tried to ambush Zhou Qinghao—but he kicked them all back.

These crocodiles were massive, each weighing at least a ton, but Zhou Qinghao kicked them effortlessly—one kick per croc, even sending them flying.

Bullet comments: “……” Help! They had seriously underestimated these two!

A Zheng looked at Zhou Qinghao with admiration, and then pulled out his own bowl, asking, “Boss, can I have something to eat?”

Zhou Qinghao gave A Zheng a piece of compressed biscuit and some vegetables. A Zheng sat to the side and started wolfing it down.

His eating had no manners at all. On the other side, Young Master Jun and Zhou Qinghao were eating with elegance, and looked sweet and loving while doing so.

“Such a stark contrast.”

“On one side it’s wilderness survival and begging, on the other it’s a picnic.”

“I always thought A Zheng was strong, but now I realize he’s nothing.”

“Those crocodiles are seriously terrifying. In other livestreams, people activate their shields the moment they see one. But Xiao Huang kicked them away like nothing!”

“Who exactly are Xiao Huang and Young Master Jun?”

…

Gu Juntian happened to be reading these comments as he ate: “Didn’t I say already? I’ve been to war.”

“Maybe Young Master Jun really did serve in combat…”

“He must be a veteran. Probably trained by the military.”

“Young Master Jun and Xiao Huang are kind of amazing!”

…

And they really were. The next day, the two of them actually rode the T. rex, and were still being lovey-dovey on its back.

A Zheng followed behind the two and didn’t leave.

He had gotten injured yesterday, and his whole body hurt today. He didn’t want to do wilderness survival anymore. He just wanted to follow behind these bosses and get some rest.

Then they encountered a group of college students being chased by herbivorous dinosaurs.

These students had come together for the expedition. Some studied botany, some biology, and some geology.

After taking the evolution serum, they had fantasized about becoming people who could punch triceratops and kick T. rex. But in reality, due to poor preparation and lack of experience, their time on the planet had been total chaos—some had triggered their shields multiple times already!

At this point, they were mentally and physically exhausted.

They hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in days, and some were even considering stopping and submitting an application to withdraw from the expedition as soon as their shields were triggered again.

Then, they encountered Young Master Jun and Xiao Huang—and personally witnessed the two of them easily scare off the dinosaur that had seemed so overwhelmingly powerful to them.

These two weren’t even human!

No matter what, following them felt incredibly safe. So the students tagged along with Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao too.

Gu Juntian sighed: “More and more third wheels…”

Zhou Qinghao said, “We’re live streaming anyway. Who cares about third wheels?”

“True. It’s not just these people—the whole livestream chat is full of third wheels,” Gu Juntian replied.

Livestream viewers: “???”

Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao remained enthusiastic about exploring the Dinosaur Planet.

There were plenty of delicacies and beautiful scenery. They traveled around enjoying nature, and before they knew it, a whole month had passed.

By this time, a growing number of people had gathered around them—some they had rescued, others had followed on their own. Meanwhile, their livestream’s popularity had skyrocketed, becoming the most viewed stream in the entire exploration event.

Many other streamers, seeing their own viewership stolen away, grew resentful. On StarNet, inevitably, waves of slander against Young Master Jun and Xiao Huang began appearing.

“Why are those two so powerful? Did they use a different version of the evolution Agent?”

“Some of the things they bring out can’t be bought anywhere. Who are they really?”

“They don’t seem to work, yet they have all this money. Is their wealth even legitimate?”

…

Rumors escalated. Some even swore that Young Master Jun’s father was a high-ranking official who had embezzled large sums, and claimed the Human Alliance had been exploiting Gu Juntian.

“For twenty years, Gu Juntian has been forced into nonstop research, inventing countless things but having no freedom at all!”

“Besides the advanced version, there’s supposedly a special customized evolution agent—and those high officials forced Gu Juntian to tailor it just for them!”

“Just look at Young Master Jun—his strength and stamina are leagues above everyone else! He must’ve used a special version of the agent!”

“Young Master Jun has powerful backers. Anyone who crosses him gets wrecked. Over the years, he’s done a lot of shady stuff.”

…

Young Master Jun had always been honest online, which meant he stepped on many toes.

Now that their stream was booming, it drew even more envy, and some people started dragging Gu Juntian’s name into things to smear him.

None of this had reached their stream for now, and neither Gu Juntian nor Zhou Qinghao were always watching the comments—so they were still clueless.

At the moment, they arrived in front of a waterfall.

The waterfall was stunning. Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao were both tempted to go for a swim.

But they were wearing masks, and going into the water might cause the masks to come off.

Just then, a dinosaur head poked out of the pool at the base of the waterfall.

The head was small, but the neck underneath was long and gave it a dopey, cute look.

It was clearly a herbivorous dinosaur, which normally wouldn’t attack people.

And it didn’t. In fact, it calmly approached Gu Juntian and Zhou Qinghao and began munching on grass near their feet.

Zhou Qinghao thought the dinosaur was adorable and reached out to pet its head. But just then, the dinosaur swung its head and knocked the completely unguarded Zhou Qinghao into the pool.

“Xiao Huang!” Gu Juntian quickly pulled Zhou Qinghao out and wiped him down, then realized—this was bad!

Zhou Qinghao’s mask had fallen into the pool!

Normally they didn’t wear the masks for very long, but this time was different.

They had worn the masks for too long, and after falling into the water… the mask had naturally come off.

Whether it was A Zheng or the others with them, or the people watching the livestream, all were dumbfounded.

“Zhou Qinghao?!”

“Xiao Huang is actually Zhou Qinghao?!”

“Wasn’t Zhou Qinghao married to Gu Juntian? What’s going on?!”

“Did Zhou Qinghao cheat?!”

…

Everyone was shocked, their minds racing with possibilities.

Was Young Master Jun rich because Zhou Qinghao gave him money?

While Gu Juntian was busy researching, did Zhou Qinghao secretly keep a lover and live sweetly behind his back?

Were their exceptional abilities due to Zhou Qinghao, using his relationship to get Gu Juntian to make them special evolution serums?

Young Master Jun had many fans, but even he couldn’t compare to Gu Juntian.

At that moment, everyone glared furiously at Zhou Qinghao and Young Master Jun, wanting to tear the two of them apart.

Gu Juntian had worked so hard, burying himself in the lab for twenty years, and had changed the course of the entire Human Alliance!

And his partner? He’d betrayed him like this?!

Just as people were getting ready to attack Zhou Qinghao online, they suddenly saw the lively, energetic Young Master Jun peel a thin mask off his face—revealing the face of Gu Juntian.

Seeing Zhou Qinghao’s mask fall off, Gu Juntian had simply removed his own as well. He sighed and said, “These masks are useless now. Next time we go out, we’ll have to use different identities.”

Zhou Qinghao nodded.

Then Gu Juntian grabbed him and kissed him: “Since the masks are off, how about we go swim under the waterfall?”

Zhou Qinghao agreed. Gu Juntian laughed heartily, grabbed his hand, and the two jumped into the water to swim.

The livestream audience and everyone present were completely speechless.

Wasn’t Gu Juntian supposed to have social anxiety?

Young Master Jun had been debating people online every day, made friends while exploring outside—social anxiety?!

Wasn’t Gu Juntian said to be forced into research with no freedom? Yet Young Master Jun had spent at least half the year playing outside, and even when in the lab, he still had time to go online and mess around—this was forced research?

No wonder Young Master Jun had so much money. No wonder those who crossed him were all dealt with. No wonder he had access to specialized evolution serums.

He was Gu Juntian!

It was totally normal for him to create customized evolution serums for himself and his partner!

The whole StarNet went wild.

Just then, the authorities released a long statement basically saying: they had never forced Gu Juntian—he was completely free to do whatever he wanted every day…

Had they released this earlier, the public wouldn’t have believed it.

But now… Gu Juntian was gleefully playing under the waterfall, and he and Zhou Qinghao were even stealing grass from the herbivorous dinosaur’s mouth!

Such a cheerful Gu Juntian was nothing like what people had imagined!And Zhou Qinghao—our mature and serious President Zhou—Gu Juntian calls you Xiao Huang, and you don’t even object?!
