12 Healing life of the other world (1/2)
The heat faded away as Joonbum drank enough cold water. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and then lay down on his working table. Smoke drifted out from his mouth and floated upwards into the blue sky, fading away before long.
”Is it because the air is so clean that the cigarette tastes so good?”
He had been visiting this place every other day and was still amazed at the purity of the air quality. He was even feeling a bit guilty for bringing stuff from Earth to this place.
”It's nice.”
Other than the lack of modern technology, everything was good here.
”Let's move again.”
Joonbum stood up, readied a grass cutter, and started it. Its blade spun as it cut down any grass it passed and the area was quickly cleaned up as the sun rose high up in the sky. Joonbum gathered all the loose grass and threw it into the fire. The wet grass gave off a dark smoke that began to spread while burning.
”This will fend off almost any animal.”
He decided to take a break and took out a soda can before sitting down.
”It's already lunchtime! Whew, time flies.”
Time passed quickly as Joonbum began working to clean up the area to use it as a base camp. As his belly rumbled, he stood up while shaking his head.
”It sure knows when lunchtime is. Time to eat then.”
Joonbum now had a big stove that he brought over to cook. He skillfully took out everything to prepare to cook as he had done this multiple times already.
”Fire's good!”
The fire burned blue and the water started to boil quickly. He remembered that he had first brought an LNG gas stove instead and claimed that it was not working correctly because it burned with a yellow fire, meaning it was not strong enough.
”How would I know there's a difference between LNG and LPG gas stoves?” he mumbled.
”Ah, this is delicious!”
In front of him were kimchi, dried seaweed, fried anchovies, salted pollack roe, fried eggplants and spam that he had leftover from breakfast. It was more than enough so he consumed three packs of instant rice instantly and slowed down on his fourth one.
[You pig, you went to the other world to do hard labor? What's up with all the tree cutting and digging?]
[Taking a tractor to the other world… that's something new.]
[He took a chainsaw too! Probably the first chainsaw ever to appear in other world.]
[He also took a pulley! Everything is new.]
[Who would think of chaining up a wolf's muzzle with a padlock? Weirdo.]
[Crazy pig. If you work like that here, you'll be rich in no time.]
[I accept. He is a God of Labor.]
[As if being Galfus' keeper isn't enough, he starts on hard labor. Can you start talking now? Please?]
[He copied non-verbal videos from someone and is using it too much! Oh, and can you stop building houses and start hunting monsters? Not just some wild dogs!]
[Ah, he's digging again. Would you stop that? You're destroying natural habitats! Go hunt or something! I'll donate if you hunt.]
[Hello, I'm BJ Youngah Lee. Would you mind a joint broadcast?]
[You bastard, don't ignore our Goddess Youngah. Respond to her!]
[Hey, he's big these days in his other world. Who cares about Youngah Lee.]
[Why would want to do a joint broadcast with her? She ain't nobody now. She seemed okay at first but now… I'd rather watch new people.]
[Can you stop making a farm documentary? Are you trying to settle down there?]
[SPOILER ALERT! This turd will start farming when he's done leveling the ground.]
[I'll do it too! SPOILER ALERT! This turd will pick either sweet potato, potato, or corn!]
[I expect pumpkin.]
[Hah, he's making a bunch of these videos.]
[Protect the environment, protect it from global warming! You turd.]
[It's named as other world survival but he takes everything from here. What will it be now? A generator? A refrigerator? Huh?]
[Hey, take a helicopter there! You know, scout over the sky, find a kingdom and rule as a God.]
[To build an empire, you will need a tank. How about a Pig Empire?]
Videos he uploaded had loads of responses to them. He carefully read those responses that he recorded before coming here as he finished his fourth pack of instant rice. He couldn't hide his smile.
”Haha, even insults are welcome.”
He gathered up the remaining fried anchovies and munched on them, appreciating all the saltiness coming out, still smiling from the responses.
”Haha, it's on. I should dig up some of that ground I cleaned up this afternoon.”
Joonbum looked at the north side of the base camp where he had finished cleaning up in the morning. It was time to use the tractor to dig a deep hole, so he can put down a tree. He took out a cigarette,wrapped a towel around the back of his neck, and dragged himself towards the tractor.
Joonbum equipped the tractor with digging equipment and started digging. He was smiling brightly.
”I must have been crazy to think I can do all this by hand.”
With the tractor, it just required a simple pass to dig up the ground. But, it needed to be deeper. The tractor equipment could not dig a three-foot-deep hole at once – it needed a different method. Joonbum dug a large area around it so that he could go back and forth until he acquired the depth he needed.
After the digging was done, he then used a pulley and a rope to raise up the wood stake he prepared and hold it in place while he made a support.
”I've gotten so much faster now.”
He remembered his first try. Everything was new so he had to go through many trials and errors and also acquired minor injuries. His muscles were sore every time he finished working. But, it got much better as he repeated it over and over and he became much more efficient after utilizing what he learned in the army.
”That's all in the past now. Hah!”
Joonbum grinned proudly and went back to hammering a nail down into the support that he just set up. Pretty soon, the area was surrounded with a wooden fence which Joonbum filled with dirt to reinforce it.
”I need more wood to fence the other place around, so I should cut down more trees beforehand. I also need some stuff too. A small generator should be first, then some tools…”
Joonbum mumbled as he drank some water to hydrate himself.

”Jinpok, did you talk to him yet? Hehe.”
A woman with a beautiful voice rose from the bed, tying her hair with a band. She then took out a cigarette and lit it. The woman's bosom swayed with her every movement. It was bigger than average and beautifully shaped, which the man next to her watched in temptation.
”Naw, not yet. The fool's not that reachable.”
As Jinpok answered grumpily, the woman's attitude suddenly changed, raising her eyebrow.
”What? You said that you can contact him! Did you lie to me? Huh? Did you lie so you can sleep with me for free? You said you will arrange a meeting with him!”
The woman spat angrily. Her sweet, beautiful voice had been replaced with an annoying, high-pitched angry taunt.
