Chapter 170: Mukbang, One Billion Views!
The prompt notification of the game panel popped out. With a temperature reading of only 3 degrees celsius, he had exceeded the other shelter’s 7 degrees celsius reading that was previously placed first. Su Mo just clicked “cancel” without a care.
“After using the stone door to isolate a layer, the game still calculates the temperature, which is smart.”
“I’m already ranked first with a reading of only 3 degrees. Some people will inevitably have some things to say about it. I will show them today!”
Sitting on the sofa and enjoying the hot wind, Su Mo was in a good mood as he watched the “clowns” start their revelry on the disaster resistance channel.
No wonder these lone wolves stepped on him so much to win over the audience. The reason was that, this time, the airdrop reward distribution method had changed.
In the first acid rain disaster, as long as they were on a live broadcast for 15 minutes, they could get an airdrop reward.
This time, two conditions were added. Either be on the list for twelve hours, or be watched by 500 million people at the same time.
For these lone wolves who accidentally made the list, reaching twelve hours was almost an impossible task, so they could only rely on the number of people to find an easier way to get the airdrop rewards.
To reach 500 million people, someone has already given a wealth code:
“Su Mo!”
As long as they put the word “Su Mo” and added in some experience or knowledge sharing, it was possible to reach 500 million viewers if they were lucky.
Once this news was released, these people who were able to make the list were excited.
As for the first person who spread the news and initiated this trend, Su Mo did not want to pursue the matter as it was unnecessary.
Reputation was achieved by strength, not through little tricks.
These people who stole airdrop rewards with little tricks might think that they were being smart, but they would fall behind inevitably.
The Internet would remember and, similarly, chat channels would too.
As long as Su Mo’s reputation continued to increase, the people who had attacked him would be like clowns, ridiculous and pathetic.
“I’ll wait… there’s no hurry. If I release it now, based on this temperature reading, how can it have a shocking effect?”
The heating efficiency of the three-kilowatt air conditioner was amazing. In just half an hour, the temperature on the second and third floors of the shelter had risen to 14 degrees.
Su Mo opened the stone door and went over to the garage for a stroll. After finding that the garage was still cold, Su Mo closed the door and returned to the third floor in relief.
Oreo needed a cold environment to awaken. Luckily, with these heavy stone doors and stone walls, they could isolate the heat source and keep the garage cold.
It was freezing outside. It was about eight o’clock in the evening and almost everyone had returned to their shelter, awaiting the judgment of the natural disaster at night.
In the warm three-story shelter with bright electric lights, Su Mo sat at the dining table and began to prepare dinner.
His knife sliced the frozen beef, mutton, and fish meat into thin slices that lay neatly on a white plate, exuding an alluring fragrance.
There were three whole plates of crystal-clear meat sliced thinly like the wings of a cicada, which were paired with the eye-catching green vegetables next to it. This dinner was not something unfamiliar to everyone in the civilized era, it was…
“Hotpot!”
The water had been quietly heated by the induction cooker, and started to boil slowly.
Su Mo moved the pot aside and replaced it with another pot, continuing heating the pot. When smoke erupted out of the pot, Su Mo waved his hand and a bag of hotpot seasoning appeared from the storage space.
The cleaned garlic cloves glowed as white as jade and, using his knife, were then minced finely by Su Mo.
He took out a small bag of seaweed strips, and a few dry slices of ginger and dried chilies, as well as the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce that had been opened before.
Along the side of the pot, Su Mo carefully poured in some vegetable oil. When the oil began to crackle, he immediately added these ingredients in and started to stir fry them.
“Hiss!”
The aroma of bean paste mixed with minced garlic, old ginger, and dried chilies was simply intoxicating. Especially after eating only dried pancakes the entire day. Even if none of the other ingredients had yet to be added in, Su Mo could already imagine how delicious the dishes would taste.
He squeezed out half a packet of the hotpot seasoning and added it into the pot. The smell became stronger and stronger, and the twitching sensation in his stomach became stronger. Su Mo did not wait any longer, pouring in the hot water from the other pot.
Spicy and delicious, the savory smell of spicy seasoning and the fresh and sweet scent of psychic energy water simply exploded out, which almost made Su Mo bite his own tongue.
This fine product had the spiciness of Sichuan hotpot, the sweet and sour scent of Hainanese vinegar hotpot, and the delicious fragrance of coconut chicken.
So many flavors were mixed together. However, not only did the flavors not clash, each layer of flavor accentuated the other.
Su Mo put out the seaweed strips, dried noodles, beef, mutton, fish, Chinese cabbage, mangoes, apples, pancakes, and the Jia Duo Bao drink.
After waiting until the average temperature in the shelter reached 24 degrees, Su Mo simply took off his clothes; shirtless but with his pants on. He sat at the dining table and opened the game panel.
He went straight to the disaster resistance channel and saw that the temperature reading of the first place shelter had dropped to 4 degrees. Su Mo then clicked on the live broadcast function without a worry in the world.
With his previous live broadcast experience, Su Mo was familiar with the setup of the live broadcast, and set the angle of view very efficiently.
The option for viewers to look around within fifty kilometers must be closed.
To watch the shelter from the above was fine, but turning the angle of view would not be allowed. The viewers could only be fixed in one position and watch from a distance.
The second viewing perspective was the interior of the shelter, fixed in front of the dining table so that the many good things in front of him could be seen.
For the title, after thinking for a while, Su Mo typed out some words that were not so arrogant:
“The Daily Life of a Glutton.”
After confirming that there were no problems, Su Mo tapped the OK button. After hearing the familiar piercing sound, he suddenly jumped into the first place among the live broadcast rooms.
In addition, listed on his live broadcast room were two extremely shocking numbers: a temperature reading of 24 degrees, and the shelter population number of…
One person!
Su Mo clicked into his live broadcast room and switched to the anchor point of view. He began to study these live broadcast functions for the first time.
The last time he used the function was on a murderous rainy night, so Su Mo, who was in a nervous mood then, had not taken the time to try the other live broadcast functions. Now he was in a warm shelter and had his spear and guns by his side. Naturally, his mentality had changed dramatically.
However…
Before Su Mo could take any action, the heat in the live broadcast room began to boil over, much like the hot pot in front of him.
Boom!
Boom boom!
Waves of people poured in like a tide and, in the blink of an eye, the number of viewers rose rapidly at a blinding speed.
Only the first minute from the start of the broadcast had elapsed, and the number of people in the live broadcast room had already reached 500 million people. The airdrop reward task had been completed and the reward would be received!
The number was still increasing, rapidly rising at a rate of 100 million per minute.
The comments screen that was already moving too fast in the beginning had turned into running water, with comments streaming in endlessly. If he had not paused the screen to read, Su Mo would not know what these people were talking about at all.
“Damn, 24 degrees? And sitting shirtless in the live broadcast room and preparing to eat hotpot?”
“Is this a person? Is this a person? Is this a person? Is this a person? Is this a person?”
“If you don’t understand, just ask. Which old dog said that Su Mo is going to fall today? The one-person shelter with 24 degrees. This is insanely outrageous!”
“Damn… Beef, mutton, and fresh mango… damn, damn, damn, damn!”
Entering the live broadcast room, whether it was the high-level leaders in charge of the life and death of thousands, down to the lone wolves in the single-person shelters, no matter what the audience’s background was, they were all stunned by the shock brought about by the Underground Shelter at this time!
What was the concept behind achieving a temperature reading of twenty-four degrees?
At this time, a storm was blowing at minus 20 degrees outside, but the Underground Shelter felt like summer, and it was even so warm that Su Mo was shirtless.
The other live broadcast rooms were all under the guise of teachings, guides and other pretenses, but Su Mo…
Mukbang???
Seeing more and more people pouring in, Su Mo no longer had to prolong the wait. He looked at the hotpot that had already started to boil in front of him and put in the first piece of meat.
The cut was so thin that it cooked quickly. It only took about ten seconds. When he saw that the meat had changed color, Su Mo used the chopsticks and put the meat in the prepared dipping sauce, and then put it in his mouth.
The smooth feeling of beef and the taste of the dipping sauce; its fragrance made Su Mo close his eyes before the live broadcast.
Then he put in another slice of mutton, and another slice of fish. The electromagnetic cooker, the boiling hotpot soup, and the super close-up shot…
All this gave everyone who was watching the live show an immersive experience.
Even if they could not smell it, seeing Su Mo eating happily, these people could imagine the taste of hotpot and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
World Channel…
“Have you guys noticed? Su Mo has already reached rank one of the live broadcast rooms. Damn it!”
“It’s so cold. My house is still leaking and he is shirtless eating hotpot!”
“If there are any warriors who will form a group to take refuge from Almighty Su during the next disaster, count me in!”
“Damn, his live broadcast room has 900 million people, and this is only after a few minutes. Isn’t this unbelievable?”
“Big news! Just received the news, Su Mo’s underground shelter already has three floors!”
“What? Three floors? Is this guy still human?”
“This… the underground shelter is developing faster than the above-ground shelters? Could he possibly be using some sort of loophole or cheat? This rascal!”
Compared to the live broadcast room, the audience in the World Channel was more shocked. Everyone quickly moved between topics, starting from the 24 degree temperature reading, to the hotpot and then to the number of floors of Su Mo’s underground shelter.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even for large-scale shelters, a two-story building had yet to be built at this time, and most people were still living in nests.
Except for Su Mo, no human being had broken through the limit of the number of floors for the time being.
At the same time, more and more people started to send private messages to Su Mo to exchange items.
More and more people were tempted by the hotpot, and they could not help but want to trade in their good things.
“My hotpot is really popular!”
Sitting in the shelter, and watching more and more transaction applications appear in the trading channel, Su Mo could not help but sigh.
Perhaps this is the charm of food!
Ten slices of boiled beef, sandwiched between cabbage leaves about half the size of a palm, were easily exchanged for a 7.62mm bullet design blueprint to meet the ammunition requirements of the Type-80 machine gun.
Two mouthfuls of hot boiled fish slices were exchanged for a design blueprint of an energy-saving light bulb. Without including the courier fee, it was simply a huge profit.
Here and there, Su Mo ate and traded. When he was full, more than 12 types of design blueprints were lying in the storage space. Although they were just some ordinary good-quality blueprints, it was still gratifying.
At this moment, compared to the previous heated discussion among the people, the meaning of the word “Su Mo” became deeper and more terrifying at the same time.
There were more and more queries asking for teaching on the comments screen. After eating enough, since Su Mo was idle and had nothing to do, he imparted some knowledge that was currently considered “rare”.
“For players who still live in the game shelter, my advice here is not to escape from it too quickly. It is best to evacuate purposefully according to the situation of the next disaster. You will fall into pieces if you panic.”
“Of course, if you can join a group, it is better to find a large group as soon as possible. Fighting alone will not only test your luck, but more so your strength.”
“The shelter of the game can be upgraded. After the upgrade, you can have more magical functions. I’m sure everyone must already know this.”
“However, when you defeat the foreign mythical races and obtain their core, there is a certain probability that you can obtain their “divine power”, and attach it to the game shelter. They come with some incredible powers, which is the biggest reason I recommend everyone to stay for now.”
Sitting in front of the live broadcast room and thinking for a while, Su Mo did not hide any news about the battle between races as well. While communicating on the comments screen, he deliberately or sometimes unintentionally collected information revealed by these people on the comments screen.
This meal lasted from eight to ten o’clock, before it stopped.
[Record]: The cumulative number of people who watched your live broadcast has exceeded 1.5 billion. Your airdrop reward has been upgraded to the iron level. Please keep up the good work.]
Looking at the prompt from the game panel, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and closed the live broadcast.
On this windy and snowy day, the fact that 1.5 billion people viewed the same live broadcast room was an extremely terrifying, phenomenon-level, trend.
As for the rest of the people, they were struggling on the lines of life and death. How would they be able to leisurely enter the live broadcast room to watch others enjoy eating and chat?
5 billion human beings had started out in this doomsday wasteland. Currently, there are only 4.1 billion people left. The remaining 900 million had been permanently disconnected from the rest of the world.
Checking the collected information, Su Mo frowned.
“The situation is not optimistic but, fortunately, at least some people have gathered together in groups. At least it is still possible for them to pass this second disaster!”
Nearly one-quarter of humans had found a large force to join. Relying on the accumulations during this period, although life was very tough, they could at least survive before the disaster level was raised again.
The remaining three quarters were in miserable situations, and most of them were already struggling with life and death!
However, the disaster…
Still had 48 hours left!
