Chapter 058: Sharing
Barrage:
[Ahhhhhh! What is this! It stinks! !]
[Ah! My nose! My nose!]
[Ugh—I vomited!]
[I'm freaking out! How can it stink so bad?!?!]
Countless viewers were nearly suffocated by the smoke. The barrage of comments that were happily discussing various recipes a moment ago was instantly filled with all kinds of wailing, cursing, and even garbled characters. Almost no one among the nearly two million people survived. It was a tragic sight.
[Fuck you!!! Host, what you just opened wasn't taste sharing!?]
Lu Xuan looked nonchalant. "When did I ever say I wanted to enable taste sharing? Besides, you only told me to enable sharing, but didn't emphasize that I had to enable taste."
The audience in the live broadcast room almost vomited blood: Do I need to emphasize this!? If we want to eat ancient delicacies, what else can we do if not taste sharing?
As Lu Xuan walked into the cave, he said leisurely, "Besides, I remember you said before that you'd be willing to smell it even if it was a bad smell. Isn't this prosperous age what you wished for?"
Livestream audience: "?! When did we say that... No, I think someone did mention that before, but wasn't that just a joke?! Why don't you remember something good?!"
You are just teasing us!
Lu Xuan was surprised: "What else?"
Audience: You dare to admit it!
What kind of host with bad taste have they become fans of?
But Lu Xuan also said: "Look, you have been asking for sharing, so I opened it for you. Am I really pampering my fans? Are you happy? Are you surprised?"
The audience had no expression on their faces. They didn't feel any favor at all, but were completely abused. You sadistic idiot!
We were so eager to start sharing our taste buds, but you're playing tricks on us like this. Don't you feel bad about it?!
Lu Xuan was even more surprised. "Conscience? I still have that thing?"
Audience: ...! You're so cruel!
After some friendly back-and-forth exchanges, the audience calmed down and quickly turned on their own computers and gritted their teeth to turn off the sharing function.
only……
I don’t know if it was because the smell was too strong, but even though the sharing function was turned off, many viewers still felt a lingering stench in their noses. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn’t help but run to the bathroom to wash themselves from head to toe.
[Although I know that the conditions there are limited due to the disaster, the water source is still there. Don't people in the cave bathe?]
[People shouldn't, at least not... How could it be so smelly!!! The little cave where the anchor lives clearly doesn't have any unwanted smell at all.]
Lu Xuan said, "It's unbearable not to take a shower in this kind of weather. Every evening after work, everyone goes to the stream to take a shower."
Again, after all, it is this kind of weather, with a temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius. If not everyone has biological clothing, you will still sweat after a while even if you take a shower.
In addition, some people have foot odor or even body odor. Because they dare not go out to the toilet at night, there are many wooden barrels in the cave that serve as chamber pots. After a night of fermentation, the pungent smell of urine is locked firmly in the cave, which is enough to make people smell it.
The audience listened to Lu Xuan's explanation and subconsciously imagined it. They felt like they were being ridiculed again. Ugh——
【Don’t the people living inside find it smelly? 】
I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in this kind of environment every day.
I even worry that someone might die from the stench while sleeping...
Lu Xuan: "It's not that exaggerated. You will naturally be shocked the first time you smell it, but people who live here have long been accustomed to these smells and their sense of smell has become dull, so they don't feel how bad it is at all."
[They don't feel the stink, don't you? Is your nose broken too?]
Lu Xuan said leisurely: "I naturally have my own way."
To take a step back, even if he has no way to deal with it, it's just a bad smell. How much worse can it be than the stench of a corpse or a rotting human body? Is the smell so unbearable?
As he was speaking, Lu Xuan had already arrived at the village chief's 'house'.
Only the village chief and Li Kangbao, who had just woken up and was still dazed, were inside. Li Tie was surprised to see him and asked, "Why are you here so early? Do you want to see me for something?"
Lu Xuan found an empty seat and sat down, saying, "The locator can be replaced now. I'll ask the village chief how many he wants to replace it with."
"Didn't they say we can't replace it for the time being?" Li Tie said with surprise and delight, "Of course we'll give each child in the village a replacement! How much food does a locator cost? Will you accept other supplies?"
Lu Xuan said, "One locator is worth five kilograms of food. You can also exchange it for mushrooms and fish."
Although Li Tie didn't know whether the locator was precious to the 'immortals', he knew Lu Xuan had definitely given a discount when he heard the price. He was about to say something when Lu Xuan said, "This is the price for a child. If anyone else wants to exchange it, let them bring 20 kilograms of grain or 10 kilograms of meat."
He doesn't intend to make money from children, but if adults want good things, they have to pay the price.
Li Tie understood what he meant and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. "Okay! I'll do as you say."
Although Li Tie said that one should be assigned to all children, boys aged twelve or thirteen are already able to help out at home and will not run around and cause trouble for the family. The main thing to take care of is children under ten years old.
Excluding Lu Chen who already has a locator, there are a total of fifteen children in this age group.
In the end, Li Tie paid Lu Xuan a total of four baskets of mushrooms and two big fish.
The locator that Lu Xuan got from the blind box yesterday had a total of eleven locating stickers. He bought a set of locators for five people, kept the extra locating sticker, and gave the remaining four locating screens to the village chief.
As soon as he got the thing, Li Tie put one on the collar of his grandson's biology clothes.
The positioning sticker is magnetic, and the magnetic force is very strong. It will not fall off easily unless an adult pulls it hard. If it really falls off... you can only spend money to buy a new one.
The positioning screen is stellar energy, so there is no need to worry about charging.
Li Tie poked his head out from behind the curtained door of his house and called out to everyone around him, "Everyone with children under ten, come to me and get a location sticker."
There was a commotion in the curtained rooms of each house, and soon many people came over excitedly to get the positioning stickers.
While registering to receive the positioning stickers, a group of people asked the village chief and Lu Xuan, who had not left yet, about the specific usage and effects of the positioning stickers.
Everyone recognized the magic of the positioning stickers, but when asked whether they wanted to change them, no one said a word, and they all felt it was unnecessary.
Twenty kilograms of food is not expensive, but the elderly will not wander around in the mountains, and the gathering teams and hunting teams all work in groups, so there is no chance of them getting lost. So what's the point of exchanging it?
Only Xiong Mao, who had just lost his son and was afraid of ropes for ten years after being bitten by a snake, not only took Xiong Dabao's share, but also took 20 kilograms of food on the spot to exchange the last remaining share in Lu Xuan's hand for Su Ying.
The parents quickly put positioning stickers on their children, then gathered around the village chief and stretched their necks to look at the green dots on the positioning screen to identify which one was their child's.
Lu Xuan watched from the side for a while and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhang Chengming, who looked pale. Beside him were the brothers Li Jing and Li Tuo, both of whom also looked haggard.
Zhang Chengming put his arm around Lu Xuan's shoulders and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you realize that wolf meat would be hot and that's why you didn't eat it yesterday? Why didn't you warn us? Do you know how much we suffered last night?"
Li Jing nodded silently.
Lu Xuan said jokingly, "You two don't have wives. Just eat it. What's there to remind you?"
Li Tuo couldn't help but come over and said, "Brother Lu, I don't have a wife!"
"Even if I have a wife, it's no good!" Zhang Chengming complained. "We all live in a cave, so it's not convenient for us to do that."
The curtains in each house were fine for blocking sight, but they offered absolutely no soundproofing. Anyone who spoke even slightly louder behind the curtains could be heard, let alone having sex. It was like having sex in public under a tent. No one with any dignity would do such a thing.
This resulted in these young and energetic men being so restless that they almost didn't sleep well the whole night. They didn't dare to go out and walk around in the middle of the night, so they could only endure it until dawn and then go to the toilet to relieve themselves.
I clearly didn't accomplish anything, but after all the trouble I felt like my body was drained. Tell me, is that unfair?
The audience in the live broadcast room burst into laughter after they found out what happened.
[Hahahaha, I was wondering why they looked so haggard, turns out they were just holding it in!]
[It's really miserable to have a wife but not be able to sleep with her.]
[Luckily, the host didn't eat wolf meat yesterday, otherwise, the host, a bachelor, would have to endure it all night.]
Zhang Chengming and the other two didn't really blame Lu Xuan. They just had been holding it in all night and couldn't help but express it. After muttering a few words, they threw Lu Xuan aside and started discussing whether there was any way to solve this problem.
After all, even if you don't eat wolf meat, the problem of unmet needs still exists. It's okay to endure it for a few days, but no one can stand it for ten days, half a month, or even several months.
Lu Xuan had no interest in this topic. He glanced at the increasingly obscene comments and reminded: "Do you want to continue driving, or do you want to follow me to have breakfast?"
[Huh, didn't you turn on taste sharing? What are you eating? Are you going to eat while we watch?]
[I've been watching it for so many days, I've had enough! ]
Lu Xuan said, "So you don't want to open Taste Sharing anymore, right?"
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately retorted: [Of course it should be opened! ]
[Open, open, open! If you don't open, you're not a human being! ]
[I remember that except for the first share, it was free. You need to spend points to open it later, right? Come on, here's a gift for you. Don't tell me you don't have enough points.]
Seeing this, the others were afraid that Lu Xuan would go back on his word again, so they immediately followed suit and threw a wave of gifts at him.
Less than an hour after the broadcast started, the gifts Lu Xuan received had already reached his daily income in the previous few days.
Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Lu Xuan stopped teasing them and opened the backstage to start the taste sharing app.
This time the audience saw it clearly and confirmed that he had turned on taste sharing. Those who had turned off sharing not long ago turned it on again.
Almost at the same time, a rich aroma of noodles, meat and eggs wafted into my nose.
The audience, whose noses had been damaged, almost burst into tears when they smelled the long-awaited fragrance.
Yes, that’s the taste!
This is the aroma of delicious food they want!
