Chapter 342 - 153: What, Slandering My Savior? [Part 1]
There’s one thing that’s undoubtedly true, and that’s that Li Younan has definitely grown into a somewhat influential major vlogger now.
After all, even in this era where traffic reigns, a web streamer with over 3 million followers is still extremely rare.
This means that he’s reached the top in his respective field or track.
And the thing about travel itself is that it’s a track where it’s not easy to create content.
To capture people’s attention in this track, it has to be niche, quirky.
Nowadays, it’s really not that difficult for ordinary people to travel, so people focus on travel destinations that are not easily reachable or travel methods that cannot be easily imitated.
Some travel bloggers either focus on global travel, luxury travel, or trek across the country with strong willpower.
In short, it’s not the ordinary path of travel that they take.
The main reason Li Younan attracts so much attention is that he shows rare and inimitable skills during his travels.
Whether it’s the parkour he initially displayed, or the archery, skiing, woodworking, electrical work later presented in his videos, especially when so many impressive skills are gathered on one person, the average person simply can’t imitate them.
So when someone pops up and claims that a particular skill shown by Li Younan is fake, that he found a stand-in or used special filming techniques, it’s almost an attack meant to shake the foundation of his fanbase.
But what left JK Long speechless was that Li Younan wasn’t anxious about this at all.
After finally getting in touch with Li Younan, he remained calm, making her seem like the anxious one... um, the girl anxious.
She was really worried sick for him.
But whether Li Younan was anxious or not, this matter was extremely urgent for JK Long.
She almost didn’t sleep that night, staying up all night and working intensely for over ten hours, immediately editing the video.
Actually, after JK Long finished watching all the footage Li Younan sent her, she herself was also absolutely shocked.
Originally thought Li Younan was just trekking, only to later find out that he casually climbed to the top of Gongga Mountain.
JK Long initially didn’t know how intimidating the significance of summiting Gongga Mountain was, but her brother sure did.
At night, she called her brother over to edit the video together. After hearing about Li Younan summiting Gongga Mountain, Liu Yu went silent for a long time.
At the time, he hadn’t had the chance to watch the video yet, but couldn’t help asking, "Are you saying Li Younan had never hiked long distances before but conquered Gongga Mountain on his first try?"
JK Long asked puzzledly, "Is Gongga Mountain hard to climb?"
Liu Yu didn’t answer JK Long, instead called Li Younan to ask him if it was true.
Li Younan replied in the call, puzzled, "Didn’t I already send you the footage?"
Liu Yu huffed, "I haven’t had the chance to watch it yet."
Li Younan patiently explained, "Originally, I didn’t plan on climbing, but since I was there anyway... decided to climb it along the way..."
"Since I was there" and "along the way" are phrases people often hear, but pairing them with summiting Gongga Mountain, is that... something that can be discussed together?
Liu Yu knows how hard Gongga Mountain is to climb not because he’s knowledgeable about mountain sports, but simply because as a general manager of an advertising company, he’s had business dealings with Red Bull.
Everyone knows Red Bull sponsors life-risking sports, with the saying, "Red Bull: I pay, you risk your life, creating glory together!"
Turns out, he knew that climbing Gongga Mountain even reached the sponsorship standards of Red Bull.
You can imagine how valuable it was for Li Younan to do this thing casually.
The next morning, the siblings both sent the video to Li Younan with dark circles under their eyes.
Li Younan was of course a bit surprised, constantly praising their efficiency, and sent an audio message, with laughter sounding a bit carefree.
Liu Yu grumbled to JK Long, "Your collaborator sometimes really seems like an idiot."
JK Long stretched and said, "Bro, I’m gonna take a nap."
Liu Yu nodded, "Get some good rest. Every time I see you staying up all night for that kid, I get a bit displeased."
JK Long chuckled, "Bro, do you think someday I could go travel with him?"
Hearing this, Liu Yu hesitated, then seriously nodded, "Yes, you surely will have a day when you can step out of this house!"
"No, Bro, I mean traveling with him."
"Let’s change the topic."
"Huh?"
While the siblings were talking, Li Younan had already opened the video over there.
At this moment, he was resting in a hotel, munching a piece of bread while watching the video.
The beginning of the video was a bomb.
To captivate eyeballs, the front of the video had some exciting clips from the entire video edited, placed as a content preview at the very start.
The first clip was the footage of Li Younan atop the summit, holding his phone, capturing the scene surrounded by mountains. The second clip was at night where he filmed the starry sky inside his tent, and the third clip was the morning scene cooking with a high-altitude stove, set against a deserted landscape.
