After eating about two kilograms of camel meat, Lin Bei finally stopped what he was doing. He leaned against the camel's body and burped comfortably.
"There are many uses for this camel. I need to peel off its fur so that it can be used as a blanket to separate myself from the earth at night.”
After saying that, Lin Bei began to work. First, he made a big cut on the wound on the camel's neck. Then, he cut along the wound until he reached the tail. Then, he cut a circular incision on the camel's four legs.
The skin of a camel was not easy to peel because there was a layer of fat between the skin and the body. Controlling the dagger, Lin Bei carefully cut open the fat between the camel skin and its body. It took him half an hour to peel off the entire camel skin.
He placed the entire camel skin on the hot sand, allowing the high temperature and sunlight to evaporate the moisture within. Then, Lin Bei cut off a piece of thigh meat that weighed nearly ten kilograms and tied it to his backpack. He couldn't stuff the camel meat into his backpack because the backpack was waterproof. The space inside was extremely sealed, so the water in the meat couldn't evaporate. Under such high temperatures, it would only take less than half a day for the meat to rot in his backpack.
However, there was no problem with tying it to his backpack. The dry wind and high temperature would evaporate the water in it for a period of time, turning it into jerky!
After doing all this, Lin Bei sat on the sand to rest while waiting for the water in the camel skin to evaporate. Fresh camel skin contained a lot of water. Bringing it on the road would increase Lin Bei's burden. He might as well wait for the water to evaporate and reduce the load.
Half an hour passed quickly, and the sun was about to set. Lin Bei got up and picked up the camel skin. He found that most of the water had evaporated. He rolled up the entire camel skin and tied it to his backpack together with the camel meat.
"Thanks to this camel, I've been able to replenish my water and food. At least for the next day, I don't have to worry about food anymore. Alright, let's set off while the night is cool!”
Lin Bei looked deeply at the camel and stepped on the road to survival again. And this camel would soon be buried underground by the sandstorm.
.....
Ye Xiaotian was feeling rather depressed at the moment. He was initially engrossed in Lin Bei's livestream, but he did not expect his friend to call to invite him to dinner.
If they were just ordinary friends, Ye Xiaotian would have rejected them politely. But he had no choice. This friend was his childhood friend. After shutting down his computer reluctantly, Ye Xiaotian drove to the hotel that his childhood friend mentioned!
He pushed open the private room and found that there were already five or six people sitting inside. They were all friends he knew. After Ye Xiaotian took his seat, the service staff entered the private room one after another with various dishes.
While everyone was toasting, they suddenly realized that Ye Xiaotian was eating alone. In the past, when friends ate and drank together, he would always be the most active. Why was he so abnormal today?
Li Jun, who was also Ye Xiaotian's childhood friend, could not help but ask curiously,""Hey, Little Tian, what's wrong with you today? It's my treat today, aren't you going to drink? Are you looking down on me?"
"There's no such thing." Ye Xiaotian shook his head and came up with a random excuse.""I still have something to do later, so it's not convenient for me to drink.”
Seeing this, Li Jun was relieved. At that moment, Ye Xiaotian only wanted to finish his meal as soon as possible so that he could rush back and continue watching Lin Bei's livestream. If he went back late, Lin Bei might have already gone offline. At that time, he could only watch the live broadcast video. However, watching a video was not as enjoyable as watching a live broadcast.
"Didn't I partner up with someone to start a sunglasses brand recently? She mainly wanted to make mid-to-low-end sunglasses and was thinking of finding a celebrity to endorse them. But celebrities are too f * cking expensive now. Forget about A-list celebrities, I can't even afford to hire B-list celebrities. It was not a problem to hire a C-list celebrity, but the key was that it would not work either!”Li Jun took a sip of his wine and looked at Ye Xiaotian beside him. He suddenly said,""Hey, Xiaotian, I remember that you have quite a lot of connections in the entertainment industry. Can you introduce someone to me?”
Ye Xiaotian was taken aback. He did know a few people in the entertainment industry, but they were all minor celebrities who were not presentable. At the thought of this, he opened his mouth to refuse.
Ye Xiaotian was suddenly stunned when he heard the words. The image of Lin Bei wearing sunglasses and standing in the desert appeared in his mind. The more Ye Xiaotian thought about it, the more he felt that it was appropriate. Slapping his thigh, he smiled and said,""Brother Jun, I really do have a suitable candidate!”
Ye Xiaotian then told Li Jun about Lin Bei.
"Web streamer? Is it reliable?" Li Jun frowned, his face full of doubt.
Because in Li Jun's impression, web streamers weren't celebrities at all. At most, they would be game streamers who would help promote web-based and mobile games. Li Jun was unaware of Lin Bei's influence, but Ye Xiaotian, who was a hardcore fan, was well aware of it. Not to mention anything else, if Lin Bei pointed at his sunglasses and said that it was a certain brand in the live broadcast... Ye Xiaotian believed that the 15,000-plus viewers in his live-stream would think of Lin Bei's recommended brand when they wanted to buy sunglasses in the future.
This was the most terrifying effect of Man vs. Wild!
In the original world, after Man vs. Wild was broadcasted, the sales of the daggers, water bottles, and even backpacks used by the host, Master Bei, soared.
Lin Bei was indeed not famous now, and there were less than 20,000 viewers. But what about a year later?
Ye Xiaotian patted his chest and promised,""Brother Jun, when have I ever done anything unreliable? If you believe me, listen to me. I guarantee that you won't suffer any losses. Besides, how much money do you need to hire a celebrity? At least 5 million! I don't need that many people to recommend. I only need 500,000!”
Ye Xiaotian did not try to scam Lin Bei with the price of 500,000. As Li Jun's childhood friend, Ye Xiaotian was actually more inclined towards Lin Bei in this matter. One had to know that Lin Bei was only a streamer with 10,000 viewers. 500,000 yuan was already a very high price.
If Li Jun waved 500,000 yuan and said that he wanted to find a spokesperson. The popular streamers of all the major live streaming platforms would flock to them.
Seeing the confidence in Ye Xiaotian's eyes, Li Jun nodded in agreement. After all, he knew Ye Xiaotian very well and knew that he would not do anything outrageous. Moreover, 500,000 yuan was not even enough to hire a celebrity. Even if there was no effect, he would not lose much. If the effect was good, it would be a pleasant surprise.
"Then, Brother Jun, I'll bring him to meet you in a few days. You can talk about the details when you meet." After saying that, Ye Xiaotian continued eating the pork trotters in his bowl.
