Chapter 68 [Bonus ] 68 - Getting better

The next day I woke up to the cameraman's reply on my cell phone.

[Hey man, sorry for not answering yesterday, I was very tired and ended up going to bed very early. I think I only have time to record in the evening, how would work be?] JKing replied around 4 am.

[I'm a Rank E musician who is starting to do shows now, I need someone to record the backstages of the shows and the show itself for me, the job would be Saturday and Sunday, which I would probably put the two days together to make a single video for the week. What do you think?] I asked.

I thought he would take a little longer to answer, but this time he answered almost immediately.

[That looks cool, I usually charge $200 for a day's work, which would be $400 for the two days, but since you want both days guaranteed, I can do $300 for both]. He replied.

When I saw that, I was excited because it wasn't as much as I was willing to pay.

With that amount of money, not only could I pay for it with the income from the artwork, but maybe I could use the income from the shows, or if the video got 50k views, that would also pay for itself.

Even if it started out at a loss, over time the views on the channel would increase, and that would mean that the amount I made from the videos would increase over time until it made a profit.

[It looks good to me!] I replied. [If there's a special concert on Friday, do you think you could make it?]

[Yes, but it would be an extra $150 for each extra day.] He replied, making me nod.

That was fair enough for me.

[No problem, I'll give your contact to my agent and she'll send you the address of the shows, ok?]

[Cool. But if you want to record a backstage vlog, wouldn't it be better to start from home?"] He asked.

He was right. Recording my routine from leaving the house to getting in the car and driving to the show, with us talking in the car, would be much more interesting and intimate for the audience.

The only thing I didn't want was to have my address and family in the videos.

[I think that's a good idea, I'll send you my address and when we're recording you'll come over and we'll start].

With that, I had a cameraman ready to start recording my long videos.

Could I try to record it myself? I certainly could.

But it would take too much out of me. I get very tired while I'm singing, and when the show is over, all I want to do is sit somewhere and rest without thinking about anything.

If he came with a camera and recorded me, it would be easier for me to create some content, but if I had to take out my phone to start recording, I probably wouldn't do it.

Not to mention the difference in quality between holding my phone with my arm and having a professional record it for me.

So I continued with my routine for the next few days.

In the morning I still did my run and cooked breakfast for my family, thus increasing some of my skill levels, then I went to school and took the opportunity to train other skills that I found interesting while I was there, came home and helped Ethan with his homework, practiced guitar and singing, did the 2 arts of the day, did another Krav Maga weight training session and at the end of the day I just answered the comments from the MeTube viewers.

When Saturday came, my status had changed from the last time I saw it.

Not only had my skills progressed well, but I was no longer so short of money.

In the last four days, I'd received another $400 from the drawings, bringing my total to $1,120, finally back to four figures in my bank account.

I could use some of this money to pay off some of the debts with the family, but I thought it would be better to at least have some money in case of an emergency, and to use some of this money as an investment as well.

Like this weekend, when I had to spend $300 to pay for JKing's two days of work, who especially had a strange choice of nickname, something I should ask him sometime about why he used that nickname.

In these last 4 days of training, a lot of my body fat disappeared, so much so that the 6-pack began to appear on my stomach.

Of course, I couldn't see it without straining my abs because there was still some fat covering it.

I think I'd need to lose at least another 10 kilos for it to be visible, and maybe 15 kilos for it to be extremely defined, but that process would be slower now that the amount of fat on my body was much less than before.

This was something I realized in the last few days, instead of losing the 2 kg I used to lose every day, I started to lose less, for now I was down to 1.8 kg, which wasn't a huge difference, but it showed that I wouldn't be able to lose weight until it disappeared with the system, which was good.

That way, I would just have to control my training so that I didn't end up with gigantic muscles, without having to worry about stopping burning calories so that I didn't become anorexic.

But when I looked in the mirror and saw how I already looked, I had a big smile on my face.

Going from 150 Kg, with probably 70% of my weight being fat (disregarding the weight of body water), to 85 Kg, where my bones and organs would weigh around 15 kg, muscles should weigh at least 55 Kg, left me with about 15 Kg of fat.

I could still see the fat slightly scattered around my body, but the amount of muscle hid it very well.

I now had a more normal body for someone my size; if I didn't take my shirt off, people couldn't even imagine how fat I was.

In another week, I should be able to dry out the fat and look the way I want.

As I listened to the faint sound of violins coming from the basement, I was proud of Olivia's dedication.

This week, she had put a lot of effort into improving the level of her violin, to the point that I think she must have gained at least 1 Lv in skill in a week, which is a lot for a normal person!

Of course, she probably already had enough experience to improve the skill, but her improvement was very fast.

Considering that 1 Lv of skill is practically the same as 1 month of training for a normal person, you can see how much Olivia is putting into it.

Ethan wasn't far behind either, practicing his ukulele and leveling up monstrously.

The little boy's talent was so great that he had increased the level of his Ukulele skill several times this week, plus the bonus I gave him with the Teach skill!

It would have been nice to have an observation skill like I saw in the novels of my old world, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't learn it.

If I had such a skill, it would be even more rewarding to teach it because I would see numerical progress, unlike now when I have to guess the level based on the knowledge I had at each skill level.

[I think I'm at your door, can you come out and make sure I'm in the right place?] JKing.

[Yes, I'm coming.] I replied as soon as I saw his message.

As I left the house, I saw a 19-year-old looking around with a cell phone in his hand.

The young man had black hair with black eyes and an unshaven face, but his most striking feature was the tired expression on his face.

"Hey, JKing, right?" I asked as I shook his hand.

"Yeah, you can call me Jason." He replied with a smile as he shook my hand.

"Nice Jason, in a little while we'll be leaving to go to the venue of the first show, tonight I'll be performing in two bars, so I need you to help me record from the moment we get into Selena's car, my agent, while we're going to the first show, until the time we get back to my house. The camera doesn't have to be on all the time, you can decide what's interesting to record or not, and if possible, you can also record some scenes of the surrounding scenery for me to use in the editing later". I explained the idea of how this would work. "Do you have any questions?"

Hearing this, he shook his head. "No doubt, it sounds like a solid idea."

With us and everything planned out, I was excited and a little embarrassed to find out what it would be like to record a vlog, as it would be the first time I had done so.
