207 A Dragon Robe! A Dragon Robe! The Internet Goes Wild Again! (2)
In a villa located within the American Empire, a 30-year-old young man received a phone call, which led him to grumble, “Tom, why are you calling me so late? I stayed up late last night f*cking my girlfriend, and I don’t have the energy to play games in the middle of the night!”
“No, Amber Nolan, you need to check out this livestream! Some dude from China who’s climbing a mountain with a hoe on his back. That mountain route has never even been charted beforehand! His method is completely unorthodox, unlike ours that follows established climbing routes. I’ve studied his steps, and all his foot placements are on spots that aren’t marked!”
“A climber without a planned route, can you imagine how terrifying that is?”
Amber Nolan, a top livestreamer in the American Empire, was known as the best online climber. Even offline, there were few people who could compare to his daring feats, such as conquering a 600-meter peak. However, even Amber took over a month to prepare the climbing route, using safety ropes for practice. Every step was carefully measured, ensuring safety as long as each step was secure.
Amber was skeptical about climbing without a planned route, but when he opened the livestream, he was dumbfounded. The Chinese livestreamer was indeed climbing without a set route, without markings that would be recognizable only to fellow climbers.
…
In the blink of an eye, 30 minutes had passed, and the Chinese livestreamer, Luo Feng, had climbed 85 meters. Despite not seeming very high, Luo Feng had already consumed three bottles of ordinary energy drinks. As an amateur, Luo Feng would not have had enough stamina without these beverages. Digging with a hoe was easier than climbing, as the hoe had a stamina-saving mechanism. Climbing, on the other hand, required a lot of physical effort.
A search revealed that there was once a man who had climbed 762 meters without safety ropes in just 3 hours, something only he had achieved worldwide. This indicated how physically demanding climbing could be. Most people with poor physical fitness would struggle to climb even 300 meters, and being able to climb even a few dozen meters was already considered impressive.
Luo Feng rested for a moment, and looked down at the people below who now appeared to be the size of matchboxes. He could no longer hear what the free riders below were saying. Despite the sweat dripping down his forehead, Luo Feng was not tired, thanks to the copious amounts of energy drinks he had been consuming. He had over 100 bottles of ordinary energy drinks and more than 30 super energy drinks, so there was no need to worry about them running out.
“Right, I forgot to warn people in the livestream not to imitate this!” Luo Feng found a small platform to rest on and greeted the drone camera that had been following him. Shortly after, the channel moderators added the warning below the video.
“Wait a minute, isn’t there something missing in your warning?”
“What do you mean, missing?”
“Shouldn’t it say, ‘Non-professionals, do not imitate’?”
“Yeah! There are missing words!”
Luo Feng chuckled, “Well, I cannot claim to be a professional, so I dare not use those words!”
“??????”
“Wow!”
“Your words sound a bit too smug, don’t they?”
“Darn it, he got us again! What should we do?”
“You’re already like this, and you still won’t admit you’re a professional? Are you kidding?”
“Low-key! Low-key! Our host is being humble!”
“Can I interpret it as, even professionals should not imitate this act?”
“Hahaha! Awesome, that explanation is brilliant!”
“What if a professional imitates you in the future, falls and dies? Will they blame the host for not warning them?”
“Amazing! The host is preventing future problems!”
“Why not write in the livestream, ‘Except for me, no one should imitate’?”
“Wouldn’t that be too arrogant?”
Luo Feng laughed, “Alright, alright, let’s just leave a message below, ‘Even professionals should not imitate…’”
Reluctantly, Luo Feng had to contact the moderators once more.
To be honest, climbing up with a hoe in hand was something even professionals would struggle to imitate.
“Rest time is over; we need to continue!”
As he spoke those words, Luo Feng did a mental calculation on when he’ll arrive at the peak.
Based on his estimates, he would need another half an hour, as he was not a professional.
He had spent his first half of the hour chugging along, but after accumulating 85-meters of climbing experience, he was certain he could pick up the pace.
As the livestream continued, Luo Feng’s popularity soared, and the number of followers kept increasing: from 11.1 million, 11.5 million, and finally 12 million. The number of online viewers had already reached 20 million, coming close to the 25 million viewers from the last lottery event.
Many people entered the livestream after hearing endless discussions about Luo Feng’s extraordinary climbing feat in various chat groups. Upon witnessing the scene for themselves, they were left dumbstruck.
Luo Feng was not worried about his hoe, which was designed to avoid death and prolong life, as it would automatically find the best spot to dig into, providing stability.
