”This should be a good spot! Heh, this is what you call an easy life!” said Joonbum Jang while he set up his tripod for his camera.
”There's water for washing dishes...”
Joonbum scanned the area to make sure that there was a water stream nearby.
The area was a plain with a small stream of water flowing through it. The best thing about this area was that it was private land with no human presence around.
”Well, I got permission, so it should not be a problem unless I make the fire too big. Time to start then!”
Joonbum started to act faster. The first thing he did was set up his camera.
Unemployed for over a year, Joonbum thought of video streaming through the Internet on a whim.After a few successful streams, he began to see some potential and was now trying to up the level for higher profit.
Upping the level, or more slang used amongst streamers, meant more exaggeration to fool viewers.
”Okay, it's good to go!”
Having everything set up, Joonbum checked the camera angle one the last time and then stood in front of it.
”Hello, Youtube! Folks! Your Survival Master Joonbum Jang is back here with you. As I told you guys from my previous episode, I will start my 30-day long-term survival in the wilderness project.Of course, as promised, I only brought food and water for emergencies, meaning that I will take whatever I need from the wild throughout my time here and provide you with the rawest and realistic wildlife experiences.Oh, Stonehead, thank you for your donation. To show Stonehead my thanks, here is my dance!”
As a reaction, Joonbum made some strange shouts while he twisted his waistline in a weird way.
-Omg, he started again-
-Ewwww-
-LOL I will vomit now-
-Who paid for this crap?-
-I've seen enough of this and I still can't…-
-He plays ugly and looks ugly-
The smartphone positioned right next to the camera displayed loads of messages from his viewers, which mostly comprised of insults.
”Okay, was that too much? Thank you. Please donate and subscribe if you like what I did!We will now begin, real Wilderness Survival!”
Soon, a fire was started on wood that had been prepared earlier.
”Do you see this? You don't need oil or paper to start a fire. No need to blow with your mouth either! Just a lighter and a torch, then boom! Easy, right?”
After showing the fire grow for a moment, Joonbum then moved quickly with his camera.
”Today, I have prepared a special - wild boar belly meat! Folks, do you see? Do you see this thickness? This area here loaded with fat is where it's at! Wow, do you see the color of this smoke? Look at it, all cooked up, and it looks so juicy and delicious. It's just art! We shouldn't forget to cook up some garlic and kimchi, you ain't Korean if you don't eat kimchi right? Oh, thank you Mr. Gourmet for the donation! I will save my reaction for later.”
The sound of meat being grilled filled the atmosphere.
”Oh my… the smell is so tempting! I cannot wait anymore. I will eat the first one without any sauce to feel its original taste. Ouch, it's hot!”
Joonbum, exaggerating every detail, grabbed the thick meat put it into his wide-open mouth.
”This is the best!”
His lip, already redder than normal, shined and looked more red with all the oil glistened by the boar's meat. This lip, his lip, and his way of chewing through everything he ate was the key to the popularity of his videos. Although his looks weren't that great, this was the reason why his videos were popular.
-Oh, I'm getting hungry now-
-I was waiting for this! He sure knows how to eat.-
-I think my stomach's cringing-
-Bastard, makes eating so tempting!-
-Can I have a bite plz?-
”Hey! THIS. IS. SO. GOOD! I will now use sauce. AND here comes our special drink!”
Joonbum poured the soju, a Korean alcoholic beverage, into his clear, small glass cup and poured it into his mouth, letting users have a feel for it and react to his actions.
”And here goes the boar meat wrap!”
Cooked boar meat, wrapped with lettuce, some pepper, garlic, and a sauce quickly followed. Topped with sliced green onion, it filled Joonbum's mouth with its spice as soon it entered.
The green onion and pepper created a nice chewing sound, all of which was captured and heard by his viewers.
-ugh… I can't…-
-I want to eat too-
-I should order something right away-
-this is making me hungrier-
His video exploded with donations and viewers bombarded the room with messages. Joonbum continued with his reactions while consuming the food and the soju.
”Hah, it's all gone now! Thank you folks, I will see you tomorrow. Stay tuned!”
After all that, Joonbum quickly ended the video and prepared his bedding. While laying down, a new concern entered his mind.
'What should I eat tomorrow…?'
It was a fitting concern for a guy with pig as his nickname.
..........
Yawn-
Joonbum opened his eyes and stretched while looking around.
'Where am I?'
Still half-asleep, he was not sure where he was. There was weird bird screeching in the distance.
