The blue progress bar begins to move steadily to the right.
Su Wei picked up his mug, drank the last sip of warm coffee, and then moved to the second folder.
GoPro first-person perspective: Rescue in a rocky crevice.
This is Su Wei's main event tonight.
This is not material meant to showcase the beauty of life.
Double-click to play.
The screen shook violently, and the wind noise was deafening.
That was the sound of the polar winds echoing on the microphone.
From a first-person perspective, the view shows a three-meter-deep basalt ravine covered with thin ice.
Thirty meters away, you can see the snow and the fluorescent green ski suit at the bottom of the pit.
Everything unfolds within the cold, hard reality.
In the video, the boy's right leg is shown at a horrifying reverse joint angle.
The sound of his teeth chattering pierced the wind, shrill and desperate.
Su Wei's brow remained unfurrowed as he calmly operated the keyboard and mouse.
He found several keyframes.
Step 1: The boy's face.
Drag the mouse to select an area, add Gaussian blur, and completely cover it.
His main account needs to showcase its strengths, not garner sympathy by exposing the privacy of minors.
The second step is the first aid process.
In the footage, Su Wei's left hand holding a knife and shaving a piece of refrigerated cedar wood is captured at its original speed.
What follows is the moment of forced reset.
Instead of cutting that part of the shot, he removed the wind sound from the background audio.
The dull thud of bones rubbing together was extracted separately and then amplified.
Click.
That was the sound of the broken tibia bone being forced into place within the muscle.
The bulging veins on the boy's neck and his painful sobs were magnified at that moment.
Then, the screen flashed.
The rescue team's lampposts shone down from above, the pulley system creaked, and a folding metal stretcher lifted the boy up.
Su Wei's hands, veins bulging, clung to the rock face as he climbed.
The video stopped a second before the snowstorm engulfed the parking lot.
There was no sentimentality, no praise.
Su Wei typed a line of pure white text at the end of the timeline:
The polar regions don't need cheap curiosity; stray off groomed trails, and nature doesn't provide first aid.
He mentally reviewed the impact of posting this video.
For a professional hunter account with nearly a million followers, simply hunting or making specimens is no longer enough to satisfy the audience's expectations.
Demonstrating real-world rescue capabilities in extreme environments is far more convincing than shooting a moose.
It can solidify his image as an absolute professional and a ruthless survivor.
This also aligns with his desire to avoid trouble and prevent low-IQ imitators.
This is a warning.
He doesn't need to project a savior image; it's enough to make people feel that the area is extremely dangerous and that the man is extremely powerful.
Save, export.
The file name is: [Hardcore Survival 14: Three-Meter Ice Crevice, Bare-Handed Reset and Blizzard Forefront.]
Su Wei to another webpage window.
Account: Northern Hunter, main account.
He glanced at the numbers in the upper right corner.
983,000.
We're just one step away from breaking the one million mark.
A recent video documented the installation of the Dragon's Fury Master-level prosthetic eye on the skeleton of the Kodiak Brown Bear King.
It has been viewed 5.84 million times.
With over 40,000 comments, the video reached its peak as hunters and specimen enthusiasts flocked from major North America forums.
They revered the imposing skeleton, and some even offered high rewards to find out its origin and the name of the taxidermist.
Su Wei clicked upload.
Hardcore Survival 14 was released on both TikTok and YouTube.
Then, he opened his private message inbox.
The screen was covered in red dots; there were over nine hundred unread messages.
Aside from fan comments, the top few pages are almost entirely filled with inquiries about business collaborations.
A private message from Seattle Explorers Gear Company requested a one-time appearance of their all-terrain lure speedboat, with a quote of $60,000.
There was also Texas ballistic plate manufacturer that wanted him to test their new carbon fiber tactical shield, requiring the use of Winchester Magnum ammunition, at a cost of $150,000.
Su Wei gripped the mouse and scrolled down rapidly.
Most of them are mismatched, or would disrupt his existing content ecosystem.
He opened the Notepad document next to the webpage.
There was a long string of numbers there, representing the total amount of money in his account.
After settling the final payment to the construction team and the initial payment for the range expansion, the account balance currently stands at US$2.45 million.
Three business orders for the Lifestyle Express, plus an $80,000 down payment for the Polar Dynamics modification project, are steadily covering his expenses.
This 100-acre Emerald Lake estate is being transformed into a multi-million dollar private military estate through massive investment.
This gave him complete confidence, and he didn't need to take on those low-paying jobs that would lower his status.

A crisp notification sound rang out.
The video progress bar has reached 100%.
The blue box disappears, and the publishing status on both platforms shows as published.
There's no need to wait for a flood of likes, nor to read comments from fans seeking novelty.
His work is finished.
Su Wei closed his laptop.
The metal casing emitted a soft click, blocking out all electronic light sources.
The living room was once again enveloped in the warm glow of the fireplace.
The temperature inside the room had stabilized at 22 degrees Celsius, and the burning pine wood emitted a faint crackling sound.
Su Wei stood up, holding an empty coffee cup.
He turned his head.
My gaze passed over the long wooden table and landed on the explosion-proof double-glazed window next to the main entrance.
Outside the window, there was only impenetrable darkness; nothing could be seen.
All that could be seen were large clumps of snowflakes being swept up by the gale and slamming hard against the bulletproof glass.
The blizzard on Kodiak Island has reached its true climax.
Chapter 220 Substrate Analysis Takes Effect, The Golden Miracle Sleeping Underground
The heavy snowplow's massive V-shaped steel shovel smashed through the more than one-meter-high wall of ice and snow outside the territory's gate.
The roar of the twelve-cylinder diesel engine tore through the cold, quiet morning air.
The tires rolled over the compacted ice, making a dull cracking sound.
A large plume of thick black smoke billowed from the exhaust pipe, quickly dissipating with the cold wind.
The snowplow came to a stop in the open space in front of the cabin.
The airlock was released, emitting a long, drawn-out hiss.
Matt pushed open the heavy metal door of the driver's cab and jumped down the footboard.
