Eating Broadcast, One Billion Viewers!
The Game Panel notification sounded. Seeing that the overall temperature was only 3 degrees, yet it had already surpassed the first place's 7 degrees, Su Mo didn't care and simply clicked cancel.
"Even with the stone door acting as a barrier, the game still managed to calculate the temperature; that's quite intelligent of it."
"However, it's only been 3 times and we've already taken first place. There are bound to be some people complaining. Today, I'll make you all admit defeat!"
Sitting on the sofa, with the hot air blowing, and looking at the "clowns" who had already begun to revel on the disaster relief page, Su Mo felt extremely comfortable.
No wonder these lone wolves are so eager to win over the audience; the reason is that the way the airdrop rewards are distributed has changed this time.
During the first acid rain disaster, you can get an airdrop reward by staying on live stream for 15 minutes.
This time, however, two conditions were added: either it had to be on the list for twelve hours, or it had to be watched by 500 million people at the same time.
For these lone wolves who accidentally made it onto the leaderboard, completing the twelve-hour task is almost impossible, so they can only rely on their numbers to find a way to steal the airdrop rewards.
As for reaching 500 million people, someone has already revealed the secret to wealth:
"Su Mo!"
As long as you include the name "Su Mo" and add some substantial content, with a bit of luck, it's possible to reach 500 million viewers.
The news excited those who made the list.
As for the person who spread the news and the first person to launch the attack, Su Mo neither wanted to pursue it nor needed to.
A reputation is earned through merit, not through underhanded tricks.
These people who use petty tricks to steal chickens and airdrop them think they are very clever, but they have unknowingly fallen into a low-class situation.
The internet has a memory, and so do chat channels.
As long as Su Mo's reputation continues to grow, those who attacked him will seem like clowns, ridiculous and laughable.
"Wait. No rush. Releasing it at this low temperature won't have a shocking effect!"
The 3-kilowatt air conditioner has an amazing heating efficiency; in just half an hour, the temperature on the second and third floors of the shelter had already climbed to 14 degrees Celsius.
He tried opening the stone door and took a stroll around the garage. Finding the garage still cold, Su Mo closed the door with relief and returned to the third floor.
Oreo needs a cold environment to evolve, and the heavy stone doors and walls effectively block the heat source, keeping the garage cold.
It was freezing cold, and around 8 p. m., almost everyone had already returned to their shelters, awaiting the judgment of the night's natural disaster.
In the bright, warm three-story shelter, Su Mo sat at the dining table and began preparing dinner.
The frozen beef, lamb, and fish were sliced into thin pieces, which lay neatly on a clean white plate, emitting their enticing aroma.
Three large platters of translucent, paper-thin slices of meat, paired with eye-catching green vegetables, make this dinner a familiar sight in civilized times: hot pot!
The Psionic Water in the induction cooker has begun to slowly boil under the heating of the induction cooker.
He removed the pot from the pot, replaced it with another pot, and continued heating. When steam began to rise from the pot, Su Mo waved his hand in the air, and a bag of hot pot base appeared in his hand.
The cleaned garlic cloves gleamed white as jade, and under the sharp knife, Su Mo chopped them into powder.
He took out a small bag of kelp strips, a few dried ginger slices and dried chili peppers, and the Lao Gan Ma chili sauce he had opened earlier.
Along the edge of the pot, Su Mo carefully poured in a little Vegetable Oil. When the oil started to boil, he immediately added the ingredients and began to stir-fry until fragrant.
"Hiss!"
The aroma of fermented Doubanjiang, ginger, and dried chili peppers is simply intoxicating, especially after eating dry flatbread all day. Even without any other ingredients, Su Mo can imagine how delicious the dishes would be with this flavor.
He squeezed out half a packet of hot pot base and added it to the pot. As the aroma grew stronger and the cramping in his stomach intensified, Su Mo didn't wait any longer and poured in hot water from another pot.
The spicy and savory broth, so flavorful it makes your mouth water, bursts forth with an irresistible taste the moment it comes into contact with the sweet and refreshing Psionic Water.
Upon closer inspection, it has the numbing spiciness of Sichuan hot pot, the sweet and sour taste of Hainan vinegar hot pot, and the fresh aroma of coconut chicken.
The combination of so many flavors doesn't feel jarring at all; on the contrary, it accentuates the layers of each flavor even more dramatically.
Lay out seaweed strips, noodles, beef, mutton, fish, Chinese cabbage, mango, apple, flatbread, and Jia Duo Bao (a herbal tea).
When the average temperature inside the base reached 24 degrees Celsius, Su Mo took off his clothes, went shirtless, put on pants, sat down at the dining table, and opened the Game Panel.
After clicking directly into the disaster relief page, seeing that the temperature of the first person had dropped to 4 degrees Celsius, Su Mo felt relieved and clicked on the live stream management.
Having learned from the previous live stream, Su Mo was very familiar with the setup this time and quickly resolved the camera angle issue.
The policy of allowing free access within a 50-kilometer radius will definitely be shut down.
You can hang above the shelter and look around, but you can't rotate your view; you're stuck in one spot and can only watch from afar.
The second perspective is from inside the shelter, fixed in front of the dining table, allowing for a complete view of all the wonderful things in front of you.
After some thought, Su Mo chose a title that wasn't too arrogant:
The Daily Life of a Freeloader
After confirming that there were no problems, I mentally tapped the "OK" button, and with a familiar sizzling sound, a live stream room suddenly appeared at the top of the live stream page.
And next to the temperature in the live stream room, there was a terrifying "24" degree and a person! Clicking into his own live stream room and switching to the streamer's perspective, Su Mo began to study this live stream function for the first time.
Last time, it was a rainy night of murder, Su Mo, in a tense mood, had no time to try out other live streaming functions. Now, in a warm shelter, with long guns and cannons protecting him, his mentality has naturally undergone a complete change.
However, before Su Mo could make a move, the buzz in the live stream, like a hotpot in front of him, began to boil.
Boom! Boom boom!
Wave after wave of people surged in like a tide, and in the blink of an eye, the number of people was rising at an impossibly rapid pace.
Within just one minute of starting the broadcast, the number of viewers in the live stream reached 500 million, and the airdrop mission was completed and the rewards were received!
And this number is still rising rapidly, increasing by 100 million per minute.
The comments, which were already difficult to read when the show started, became an endless stream of messages as the show began to flood the screen. Unless you deliberately stopped to watch, you wouldn't understand what these people were saying at all.
"Holy crap, it's 24 degrees Celsius, and he's sitting shirtless in the live stream, and he's even planning to eat hot pot???"
"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 today that Su Mo is going to perish? A 24-degree Celsius shelter for one person? That's ridiculous!"
"Holy crap. Beef, lamb, and fresh mangoes! Damn it!"
Upon entering the live stream, everyone from high-ranking officials who held the power of life and death over thousands of people to lone wolves in their individual shelters was stunned by the awe-inspiring power of the Underground Shelter!
What does 24 degrees Celsius mean? Outside, it's -20 degrees Celsius with a raging storm, but inside the Underground Shelter, it feels like summer, so hot that Su Mo is shirtless.
And all the other live streams use the guise of teaching or being the only one, but Su Mo's mukbang is the only one???
As more and more people poured in, Su Mo stopped dawdling and put down the first piece of meat, looking at the boiling hot pot in front of him.
Thinly sliced, it cooks quickly; in just over ten seconds, the meat changes color. Take out your chopsticks, dip it in the prepared sauce, and then put it in your mouth.
The smooth texture of the beef, combined with the flavor of the dipping sauce, made Su Mo close his eyes before the live stream.
Another piece of mutton was added to the pot, followed by a piece of fish. The boiling hot pot broth on the induction cooker, along with the ultra-close-up camera, gave everyone watching the live stream an immersive experience.
Even if they couldn't smell the hot pot, seeing Su Mo enjoying it so much made them imagine what it tasted like, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
World Channel.
"Did you guys notice? Su Mo has already reached number one in the live stream, holy crap!!!"
"This is so damn awesome! My house is still drafty, and this guy is eating hot pot shirtless!"
"Any brave souls want to team up and join Su God during the next disaster? Count me in!"
"Holy crap, his live stream already has 900 million viewers, and it's only been a few minutes! Is that even possible?"
"Breaking news! We've just received word that the underground shelter in Su Mo already has three levels!"
"What? Three floors? Is this guy even human?"
"The underground was built faster than the surface? Did they use a cheat code? What a bastard!"
Compared to the live stream, the world chat was significantly more impactful, and everyone quickly shifted their focus from 24-degree hotpot to the underground shelter levels of Su Mo.
Everyone was shocked.
Even in large shelters, two-story buildings could not be built at this time, and most people were still living in dugouts.
For the time being, apart from Su Mo, no human has been able to break through the limit of the number of levels.
Meanwhile, more and more people are starting to contact Su Mo privately to exchange items.
More and more people are so tempted by hot pot that they can't help but trade away their favorite items.
"My hot pot is selling like hotpot!"
Sitting in the shelter, watching the increasing number of trade requests on the trading channel, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Perhaps this is the charm of delicious food! Ten slices of blanched beef sandwiched in a cabbage about half the size of a palm could easily be exchanged for a blueprint for 7.62mm bullets, which could be used to meet the ammunition requirements of the Type 80 General Purpose Machine Gun.
Two bites of boiled fish can be exchanged for a design blueprint for an energy-saving light bulb. Apart from the shipping cost, it's an outrageous profit.
He ate and changed things as he went, and by the time he was full, there were more than 12 design drawings lying in the Storage Space. Although they were just ordinary, high-quality drawings, they were still quite pleasing.
At this moment, compared to the last time the whole nation was discussing it, the meaning represented by the two characters "Su Mo" is much deeper, and also more terrifying.
Seeing the increasing number of comments asking for instruction on the screen, and having nothing better to do, after eating his fill, Su Mo also imparted some knowledge that is currently considered "rare".
"For players still living in the game's shelter, my advice is not to rush out. It's best to evacuate selectively and purposefully based on the situation of the next disaster. Rushing will only lead to chaos."
"Of course, if you can team up, it's better to find a large group to join as soon as possible. Going it alone not only tests your luck, but also your strength."
"The game's shelter can be upgraded, and upgrading it unlocks many more amazing features, which I'm sure you all already know."
"However, when you defeat the alien race and obtain their core, there is a certain probability that you can acquire their 'divine power' and attach it to your game shelter, granting it some incredible power. This is the main reason why I suggest everyone keep it."
Sitting in front of the live stream, after thinking for a while, Su Mo didn't hide anything about the racial conflict. While communicating with the viewers, he intentionally or unintentionally collected the information that these people were revealing in the comments.
The meal lasted from eight o'clock until ten o'clock before they finally stopped.
[Record]: The cumulative number of viewers for your live stream has exceeded one billion, with a continuous viewing time of over fifteen minutes. Your airdrop reward has been upgraded to Iron level. Please keep up the good work! Looking at the notification from the Game Panel, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction and closed the live stream.
On a snowy day, the fact that a billion people are watching the same live stream is already an incredibly terrifying phenomenon.
As for the rest of the people, they are all struggling on the brink of life and death, so they have no time to click into the live stream to watch others enjoy themselves and chat.
Of the original five billion people, only four billion remain today; the remaining nine hundred million have been permanently cut off from the rest of the world.
As he examined the information he had gathered, Su Mo frowned.
"The situation is not optimistic, but thankfully, at least some people are sticking together, so we won't be unable to get through a second disaster!"
Nearly a quarter of the people have found the main force. Thanks to what they have accumulated during this period, although they are living in dire straits, they can at least survive until the disaster worsens.
The remaining three-quarters are in a much worse situation; most of them are struggling on the brink of life and death!
However, the disaster still has a full 48 hours to go!
I owed two chapters yesterday, and I'll add two more chapters for the 2000 monthly votes I received last month, making it a total of four chapters. Starting today, I'll resume my update speed! After creating technological weapons, the pace will pick up, and the protagonist will no longer drift along with the tide in the face of disaster!
