Chapter 433: Chapter 431 Change
The aftermath of the geese’s journey wasn’t just a simple increase in Bi Fang’s fame; it had an enormous subsequent impact.
Half a year had passed, and people still talked enthusiastically about the geese returning to the Arctic Circle, the news even made the front page of Finnish newspapers.
Scholars in the field of zoology were extremely interested in the pioneering methods of artificial migration, and Elvan’s phone was bombarded with calls, earning him considerable fame in academic circles.
If it hadn’t been for the live broadcast, Bi Fang would have probably not escaped, as various people would have called or even asked him for details in person.
Even now, people wanted to record an interview or conduct a talk with him, or even make a documentary for posterity to watch.
However, due to his busy schedule, Bi Fang turned them all down. There was no need for a documentary; the entire journey had been recorded on the internet. What was there left to film?
This was just one side of things, a greater impact came from—animal protection organizations.
To Bi Fang, it seemed that Europeans were too wealthy, with too much free time on their hands, and that’s why these organizations often did unreasonable things.
However, when it came to issues like internal corruption colluding with poachers, the animal protectionists’ views were quite clear. Especially in the days when the arrests were made, they were practically blocking the courthouse and even the audit bureau’s doors daily.
Étienne joined in the excitement and took a video, which he sent to Bi Fang.
On the streets, everywhere were crowds holding signs and protest banners, fluttering flags, the noise was unbearable, and riot police had to be on the side to watch, preventing any large-scale stampede incidents.
Speaking of which, wasn’t the poacher and Johnny’s sentencing happening these days?
Bi Fang suddenly remembered this and took out his phone to search the keyword, to find out that indeed, the trial was scheduled for May 17th.
It seemed that the pressure from the animal protectionists’ protests did weigh heavily on the authorities, coupled with Bi Fang’s live stream, the evidence was irrefutable and the charges clear, leading to a court verdict in just half a year.
While half a year may seem like a long time, in reality, it was a relatively short process. Even domestically, regular cases would take over five months and if it was complicated, dragging it out for a year or two was normal, not to mention abroad.
Calculating the timing, Bi Fang could still watch the geese and then go to observe the trial.

“Buzz buzz buzz.”
Just as Bi Fang had put down the newspaper and was looking at his phone, it began to ring again—he picked it up to see another unfamiliar number.
He could almost guess what the person calling wanted to do; it would be nothing more than business cooperation, various events and advertisement deals.
Ever since climbing Mount Everest, Bi Fang’s followers were ecstatic. Nearly ten million viewers had watched, and with word-of-mouth alone, it was a force to be reckoned with, one that showed no signs of stopping and continued to grow.
Add to that his previous accumulations, Bi Fang was completely in his heyday in the country, with a level of popularity higher than many top-tier celebrities.
It was just unclear when his phone number had been leaked, it was like a barrage of calls.
The most impressive advertiser to Bi Fang was a mobile phone company named 8848, who were desperate to have him as their brand ambassador. They were so persistent, acting as if their brand would lose its soul without him.
Bi Fang decided that once he returned to his country, he would change his phone number. Given his special identity, getting an organization to arrange a more secure phone for him wouldn’t be a problem.
After the phone rang a couple of times, Bi Fang hesitated but decided to answer.
As expected, it was over the top.
This time, it was a chocolate company. They felt that the scene of Bi Fang eating an energy bar on the mountain peak naturally matched their promotional philosophy.
Climbing mountains as smooth as silk.
Bi Fang: “…”
“Let my assistant talk to you.”
Bi Fang said this and then hung up the phone, feeling somewhat fatigued.
He never wanted to take on any advertisements, he had no need or interest, but if he refused someone in person, they would stick to him like a plaster. Instead, he had his assistant Liu Qian handle and turn down these business activities on his behalf.
This tool person arranged by Wolf Fang was very handy to use, competently handling everything from scheduling to rejecting various commercial activities.
It was time to give her a raise, Bi Fang thought satisfactorily.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard ** Airlines. I am the chief flight attendant for this flight…”
The broadcast came on, and Bi Fang put the newspaper back in its place and opened the virtual panel. The sky-blue, semi-transparent screen swiftly unfolded, listing all the information.
After returning home last night, Bi Fang couldn’t wait to activate Platinum Body.
Then, there was no after that.
The moment he activated it, Bi Fang felt a burning sensation throughout his body, and waves of sleepiness overwhelmed him. He didn’t even have time to use the remaining Enhancement Points, nor did he make it to the bedroom; he fell asleep on the couch.
Bi Fang was only woken up by the ring of his cellphone in the morning, and as soon as he awoke, he felt an uncomfortable churning sensation in his stomach. He was hungry.
Having no other choice, Bi Fang hurriedly packed his things, went out to buy seven or eight steamed buns to eat while taking a taxi to catch the plane, and only now, after the plane had taken off smoothly, did he finally have time to check the changes in his panel content.
As soon as the panel unfolded, Bi Fang acutely noticed the changes.

He had actually grown taller! His weight had also increased!
Due to the existence of the panel, Bi Fang was very sensitive to his own physical fitness. Previously, his height had hovered between 183.5 and 184.5 centimeters, but now it had broken through to 186!
Considering that he had just gotten up from bed in the morning, his current height should be between 185 and 186 centimeters, roughly a centimeter and a bit more, so he didn’t have to worry about being noticed—it’s just a pair of shoes’ difference.
The weight change was significant too; after returning from Mount Everest, his weight had dropped, usually around 77, but now it had reached 78.
Considering that he had eaten seven or eight steamed buns just an hour ago and now felt nothing, even a bit hungry, there must still be an energy gap to fill.
The change was substantial.
Bi Fang sat up straight and looked around. As it was a long-haul flight, many people were already resting with their eye masks on.
He got up from his seat and headed straight to the restroom.
Upon seeing his reflection in the mirror, that skin which appeared fair and smooth under the light, Bi Fang was stunned.
Is this me?
