LBWC Chapter 0006: Fire Drilling

"Wow! It looks really sharp!"

"You can even make a knife out of stone. Streamer 666!"

"The streamer is amazing. I never thought you could make a knife out of stone!"

"Do you not have a history education? Don't you know about the Stone Age?"

"Tsinghua's Number One Heartthrob sends the streamer 5 grilled fish! — Looks like a real professional, awesome!"

"Libyan cutie sends the streamer 200 bamboo sticks! — A passerby turned fan!"

"Sweet Chrysanthemum sends the streamer 50 rice balls! — The streamer looks handsome when he's serious!"

"Thank you for the gifts, I hope you all enjoy the stream. Don't forget to follow the streamer for notifications next time, so you won't miss out on the exciting moments!"

After thanking a few gift givers, Chen Xu then showcased the sharpness of the stone knife to the camera, "Let me show you, this stone knife is very sharp, it can be used to shave wood and cut food, it's very versatile!"

After that, he used the sharp edge of the newly made stone knife to drill a small hole in the dry wood. Then, holding the tree branch with both hands, he placed it vertically in the small hole and began to rotate it back and forth.

"There are three methods of fire drilling: hand drilling, rope drilling, and bow drilling. Here, I'll demonstrate the simplest hand drilling method!"

The tree branch in Chen Xu's hand spun rapidly, rubbing against the dry wood, making a "chirping" sound.

"As long as we can ignite a spark through fire drilling, and then transfer the spark to tinder, tinder can be replaced with dry grass or dry leaves. However, it's very difficult to drill out sparks, it may take a long time, so we must be patient!"

At this moment, a cold wind blew, causing Chen Xu to instinctively shrink his body. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains was greater than in the city. Fortunately, the system had a conscience and included a windbreaker in the beginner's gift package, which he put on. However, this was not a long-term solution.

Clearly, making fire was necessary, not only for warmth but also to drive away mosquitoes and wild animals.

"Is what the streamer said true? I always thought fire drilling was just a myth!"

"Friction to start a fire, how long would that take?"

"It looks like it takes a lot of physical effort. I feel sorry for the streamer!"

"Qing Qing Grassland 085 sends the streamer a grilled fish! — Streamer, keep it up!"

Next, Chen Xu began to focus on rotating the wooden stick. In no time, smoke began to billow out.

"Wow! Look, there's smoke!"

"The streamer is awesome. This is the first time I've seen fire drilling!"

"Hang in there, streamer, you're about to succeed!"

Seeing the smoke getting thicker and thicker, Chen Xu also became excited. Obviously, this was a prelude to sparks!

Sure enough, the next second, a few faint red lights suddenly appeared in the dry wood pit where Chen Xu was drilling.

Sparks! 

Seeing this, Chen Xu quickly piled the tinder he had prepared around the sparks, and blew air into it with his mouth, increasing the contact area between the burning material and oxygen, which would make it burn faster.

Unfortunately, the sparks produced by fire drilling were too small.

He had to pick up a dry leaf, carefully touching the sparks, as if afraid that a big movement would extinguish them.

Gradually, one second, two seconds...

All the viewers in the livestream room were staring intently at the dry leaf, forgetting to snatch the treasure chest on the side.

And just as Chen Xu blew countless times, a faint blue flame suddenly rose from the tip of the dry leaf!

He was extremely excited and quickly placed the dry leaf into the pine needles and dry grass. 

Then, the blue flame, as if contagious, slowly spread to other dry grass and pine needles. Finally, they converged together, with a "whoosh", a yellow light lit up, and it gathered into a blazing flame!

Oh my god! It really succeeded!

"Wow! The streamer really lit it! So awesome!"

"Revenge Flame: Xu Ye!"

"666!"

"Your friend: Fireman has successfully logged in!"

"Congratulations to the streamer for acquiring the Fire Drilling skill, experience +1!"

"Seeing the streamer working so hard, I felt sorry and took out a lighter to light a cigarette."

"Haha! Are you so awesome, upstairs? Aren't you afraid the streamer will chop you up?"

"Through the eyes of time @ sends the streamer 500 bamboo sticks! — Streamer, I kneel before you!"

"◆ Greedy for Drama Clown sends the streamer 20 rice balls! — Streamer is awesome, keep it up!"

As Chen Xu succeeded in fire drilling, all the viewers in the livestream room began to flood it with "666", followed by a bunch of gifts.

Although most of them were bamboo sticks and rice balls, the smallest gifts, a mosquito is still meat, and the fact that viewers are willing to spend money to send gifts to the streamer indirectly indicates that this livestream has a fan base.

However, with the increasing number of viewers, some trolls also slipped in:

"Damn it! Just to watch you make fire, I forgot to snatch the treasure chest!"

"Me too, streamer, I'm watching you, I forgot about the treasure chest!"

"Stupid streamer! Can't even use a lighter! Really trying to show off by drilling wood!"

"Are you stupid upstairs? Didn't you read the title? The streamer is livestreaming in the wilderness, he only has a rope, no other tools, where would he get a lighter?"

"Hehe, is the streamer your dad? So eager to protect him?"

"Stupid trolls, get lost!"

"Don't like it, then leave!"

"〆負荷以止/ sends the streamer a lobster! — Please, give Zhao Ritian some face, stop cursing!"

"In the Clouds sends the streamer three Buddha Jumping Over the Wall dishes! — This time, let's grab as much as we can! But can those brainless trolls please get lost?"

With a "boom", three more red banners appeared at the top of the Pandatv livestream room.

"Wow! Such a big spender! Three thousand bucks, just like that?"

"Three thousand? With the one before, it's four thousand!"

"I don't understand the world of big spenders!"

"666!"

"In the Clouds bro, I want to give you a blowjob!"

"Seeing a big spender, the streamer should hurry up and kneel and lick!"

"Is the upstairs stupid? The streamer can afford to use a drone, obviously not short of money!"

"Forget to mention, damn, the handsome and rich guy also knows so much knowledge, 666!"

"Hope everyone stops trolling the streamer. I've been watching since this afternoon, and I've never seen such an interesting outdoor livestream!"

To be honest, when Chen Xu saw the three Buddha Jumping Over the Wall dishes, he was also stunned for a moment. Someone who can casually send three thousand bucks, this "In the Clouds" is truly a legendary big spender.

"Thank you, In the Clouds bro, for the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall dishes, and thank you to 〆負荷以止/ for the lobster." While thanking In the Clouds, he also thanked the person who sent the 100-buck lobster, "In the Clouds bro, I'll give you a mod role!"

Chen Xu thought that someone who sent him so many gifts on In the Clouds must be a true fan. Why not give him a mod role to help manage the barrage in the livestream room?

In the Clouds: "That's great, I've traveled all over the country for so many years, and you're the one I admire the most!"
