[TS] Starting the Broadcast - Chapter 116

The survival game deals with various elements.

Observing whether humans detached from civilization conform to or collapse in front of the huge wall of nature is certainly a very interesting element.

But this program is not composed with such one-dimensional thinking.

Humans are social animals.

Wherever they go, they have a habit of forming groups when a certain number gather.

And groups inevitably give birth to conflict.

Relationships of strong and weak are formed implicitly, leading to discrimination.

Accumulating dissatisfaction, and other groups within reach.

Competition and disputes arise.

The numerous emotions and actions revealed within - human greed, selfishness, consideration, concession, etc.

This will become a movie that briefly summarizes a person's life.

Who was it that said:

Life is a comedy when viewed from afar, but a tragedy when seen up close.

It will be a good time for viewers to enjoy a comedy regardless of the participants' circumstances and hardships.

---

The structure of the survival game was surprisingly simple.

First, divide into teams.

Then measure and evaluate everything as team performance and assign points.

There were countless elements that could be evaluated.

The houses they build, gathering and hunting for food, and missions that appear occasionally in between.

Gaining points that way, and on the last day the team with the highest final score wins... obtaining the 40 million won prize.

I roughly anticipated from the thumbnail, but the teams were divided centered on Hyena and Haeyun.

Though grouped together as top 3 female camgirls, their charms were quite contrasting.

Haeyun boasts a fairly large number of viewers for a female camgirl who are mostly minority elites, with her short hair, fiery speech, and easygoing personality.

On the other hand, Hyena is a typical pure and pitiful beauty type, stimulating men's protective instincts with long straight hair and a delicate physique.

Anyway, teams were divided centered on those two.

[Haeyun Team: Mureuppak, Mubak, Retro]

[Hyena Team: Onecue, Ajeomdaeng, Choegochangwon]

As expected, one game BJ, mukbang BJ, and outdoor broadcast BJ were placed on each team.

"Should we start?"

The screen shakes up and down at the voice awkwardly asking towards the camera.

Mureuppak, who heard the answer, keeps wiping sweat from his forehead while observing the surroundings.

Haeyun's team and Hyena's team are in a situation about 100m apart from each other.

The screen splits in half to show both teams' circumstances simultaneously.

"Let's move quickly. We need to secure a good spot first, even if it's just a little better."

The outdoor broadcast BJs clearly took the initiative at the start.

Retro appeals to start moving right away.

The team members seemed to think that opinion was right, as they start moving without complaint.

On the other hand, Hyena's team seems to need a bit of time.

"I'm dizzy."

"Oh no, this is bad. Are you okay? Did anyone bring medicine?"

When Hyena, crouched on the ground, complains of dizziness, Ajeomdaeng asks with a fuss.

The screen shakes left and right, expressing the organizers' intention to solve it themselves.

Since this is promoting a survival game.

"How harsh."

"More importantly, I think we should move quickly too. They've already departed."

When Choegochangwon speaks after seeing Haeyun's team moving, Ajeomdaeng's expression turns bad.

"A team member says she's sick, what are you saying now? Don't you know this is a team game?"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

"I'll be fine if I rest a bit. I'm sorry."

The situation was settled for now with Hyena's apology.

The screen focuses on Haeyun's team again as the main.

Team members advancing while treading overgrown bushes without a single path due to lack of human traffic.

They exchange introductions and agree to speak informally.

Retro was the eldest at 32, Mubak and Mureuppak were 29 and the same age, and Haeyun was the youngest at 26.

"But can we trust and follow you, hyung?"

"Yeah, just trust this hyung."

After moving for about 20 minutes?

Opinions diverged slightly.

Mubak's opinion that near the coast would be good for obtaining food, and Retro saying to go further inside... In the end, the latter was decided.

"Oh, water!"

"Good good! Nice, hyung."

"Looks like it was good to come this way."

It was a stream flowing down from a high place, though it couldn't be called a mountain.

Mureuppak tries to scoop water with his palm to drink, perhaps feeling thirsty from walking, but Retro stops him.

"You could get sick if you drink it as is. We don't know what's happening at the water source. In places like this, you must always boil water before drinking."

"... But I'm thirsty."

Though his expression was regretful, he gives up since Retro's words make sense, and needlessly looks around.

Then soon after, Mureuppak confirms flat ground a short distance away and suggests building a house there.

"Hmm, it's not bad. But if possible, I want to build where there's a naturally existing wall or something like that. Let's look a bit more."

"... Okay."

"Understood."

For a moment, dissatisfaction flashes across Mureuppak and Mubak's faces.

They unconditionally agreed and followed thinking Retro was a bit better in terms of experience in this area, but they feel bad as every opinion they suggest gets tackled and it feels like he's deciding everything alone.

Whether she knows or doesn't know about the men's conflict, Haeyun's figure happily washing her hands.

The screen changes again to show Hyena's team.

"I think I feel a bit better now."

"Then let's move."

Haeyun's team took a path in almost the opposite direction.

Choegochangwon was in the lead.

At 28 years old, lively and good with his hands, he was the most promising participant viewers expected to perform well in this broadcast, even building a tree house in the middle of outdoor broadcasts.

Walking behind him is 30-year-old mukbang BJ Ajeomdaeng, who showed a sharp side earlier.

22-year-old Hyena and 26-year-old game BJ Onecue line up in the rear.

They were walking along the shore.

"Oh! Food."

Small crabs were moving quickly on the shore.

Choegochangwon runs towards them seeing that, while Onecue and Hyena look around unsure what to do... Meanwhile, Ajeomdaeng strongly expresses his opinion.

"Now's not the time to be doing that, let's move first. We need to secure a base quickly. Food comes after that."

"Um... But wouldn't it be more efficient to divide tasks when there's an opportunity like this rather than all moving together in a rush?"

Opinions clash again.

This time, Choegochangwon wasn't in the mood to back down easily.

Earlier he yielded because of the "sick teammate" cheat key, but now he strongly appealed since there was a valid reason.

"Um... Since this is a team game, wouldn't it be good to cooperate somehow? We all want to receive the prize money, right?"

At that moment, Hyena quickly intervened.

Onecue, who was observing the situation, also quickly nods.

In the end, the two people calmed down and agreed through conversation to follow Choegochangwon's opinion.

"Then I'll gather some food here and move, so please leave clear traces."

"Okay, don't worry and follow quickly."

They decided to leave traces by drawing arrows on the ground.

Hyena's team members start walking again, leaving Choegochangwon behind.

For a moment, advertisement scenes from sponsors who provided prize money flash by.

-Wow, this is crazy sweet potato ㅋㅋㅋ

-For real;; It's already annoying. Did you see Mureuppak's expression when he frowned? I wanted to punch him right away.

-Ah, Haeyun's team is okay. Honestly, isn't Hyena's team amazing? For real it seems like there are 2 burdens, can they even spend 2 nights and 3 days safely?

-For Hyena's team, honestly it seems like Choegochangwon will carry, but it looks like there'll be a fight with Ajeomdaeng acting all high and mighty as the eldest ㅋㅋㅋ

The chat window is already starting to catch fire.

I monitor to prevent harsh chats from coming out from viewers who are too immersed, and focus on the video again after a short advertisement.

Haeyun's team finds terrain they like and starts building a house in earnest.

In between working hard, Retro continues to criticize and point things out.

What are you going to use that size for?

Let's do it faster, faster.

Hold it straight, it'll collapse like that.

Hey, didn't you do this even once when you were in the military?

Whenever Retro turns his head, the figures of Mureuppak and Mubak grumbling increase gradually.

It feels like the fuse is getting shorter little by little.

On the contrary, Hyena's team was somewhat resolving the initial discord and moving forward.

Ajeomdaeng picked a suitable location.

And they tried to build a house, but how much experience would modern people have building in such wilderness?

Of course, they did prior research and some practice while preparing for this survival game challenge, but practice and the real thing are clearly different.

They spent time hesitating and couldn't even finish the foundation work until Choegochangwon joined.

Choegochangwon, who filled a discarded plastic bottle he picked up on the beach with a handful of small crabs, makes a slightly dumbfounded expression.

Then he pushes Ajeomdaeng aside and starts directing in earnest.

The appearance of the residence gradually takes shape following Choegochangwon's instructions.

Hyena and Onecue's expressions brighten.

But the figure of Ajeomdaeng secretly biting his lip in the back is caught on camera.

Weeeee-!

At that moment, a loud siren sound.

The screen splits into multiple parts and shows the surprised faces of participants from both teams.

People holding cameras approach Hyena and Haeyun and put walkie-talkies in their hands.

Crackle, crackle-!

-Ah ah, can you hear me well?

The owner of the voice from the walkie-talkie was BJ Output.

"Yes, yes! We can hear you well."

"Oppa! It's too harsh here. There are so many bugs too!"

The scenes of Haeyun answering properly and Hyena complaining while thinking of her usual friendly relationship with Output alternate.

-Warning. Previous human relationships are meaningless on this island. Please be careful with your remarks.

"......"

The atmosphere around becomes heavy along with the cold voice.

After a brief pause, Output's voice continues again.

-From now on, I'll give the first mission... and one proposal. I won't say it twice, so listen carefully.

The mission was simple.

And the reward was intuitive too.

A box slightly larger than a palm is hidden within a 100m radius of the base each team is currently building.

The team that finds the box first wins!

And inside that box is a lighter that can be considered the reward for this mission.

Fire! This was extremely important.

Starting from boiling water to drink, even if they obtain food, they need fire to avoid eating it raw, and it was November now.

Everyone came wearing light jackets, but fire was essential for proper temperature maintenance.

"Qu-quickly find it!"

"If we don't find this first, we're doomed!"

What stopped the teammates trying to run out excitedly right away was Output's warning flowing from the walkie-talkie.

The story wasn't over yet, and the mission couldn't start until he gave the signal...

-Now, next is the proposal. Each team has a female member, and you'll probably be quite uncomfortable when sleeping. After all, men and women are different, you know.

"That's right. At least the production team has a conscience."

"Phew, honestly I was worried a lot about that. In times like these, if we're not careful we could be disliked and targeted by women's cafes..."

-We will provide a 1-person tent for female members to use only during sleeping hours. But! I said it was a proposal, right? It's the women's choice. If you don't use that tent and return it, I'll give that team 10 bonus points. Personal comfort or team victory as priority... It's all your choice. Well then, that's all.

Crackle crackle-!

The radio cuts off and the mission begins.

But no one from either team could move rashly.

Output's voice heard at the end.

The cunning of separating individuals and teams in his speech.

It was the devil's proposal.
