17: Chapter 17 A Professional Athlete with a Life of Honor

After signing a new contract with Qin Feng, the stock price of the company where Shen Xicai worked soared!

The "Peak Challenge" program also jumped from twelfth place in the variety show rankings to become the number one variety show globally!

Especially after the edited clips of Qin Feng's livestream were uploaded online, it caused a huge sensation in the Parkour community!

Extreme Sports enthusiasts in the Dragon Kingdom even directly called Qin Feng the King of Parkour!

…

One day later, in the livestream room.

As soon as the second challenge started, the number of online viewers in the livestream room had already exceeded 27 million!

Although the screen in the livestream room was still black, the netizens were already filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Damn, the second challenge is starting already? It's only been a day! Does Extreme Brother not need to rest?"

"Did you not see Extreme Brother's medical report yesterday? He is as strong as an ox; there's no need for him to rest."

"I heard Shen Teng is hospitalized. It seems he sprained his leg during the main road competition, and he's even in a cast."

"Hilarious. Extreme Brother does all sorts of life-risking stunts and is fine, yet Shen Teng is the one lying in the hospital. He is truly a talent."

"People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. I once became extremely angry while in a state of extreme anger."

Just as netizens were throwing around memes in the livestream room, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed that the official website had pinned Qin Feng's livestream room.

In an instant, a large wave of fans flooded into the livestream room to follow.

In less than five minutes, Qin Feng had already gained over 2.5 million new followers!

Seeing this data for Qin Feng, the backstage staff were shocked.

"I've been working for so many years and have never seen such outrageous data. The fan conversion rate is nearly one hundred percent!"

"That means these people are actually all here for Qin Feng? That's simply absurd!"

Seeing the number of Qin Feng's followers still rising sharply, Shen Xicai, sitting in the master control room, revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

It seemed his judgment was correct; Qin Feng was their cash cow!

As long as Qin Feng continued to participate in their program, they wouldn't have to worry about a lack of viewers!

Director Wang Haiwei glanced at Shen Xicai.

"Third Boss, everything is ready. Shall we start the livestream now?"

Shen Xicai nodded.

"Begin."

Following Shen Xicai's order, the main broadcast studio feed went live.

Netizens first saw an endless city skyline, and then the drone camera changed its perspective, filming downwards from an overhead angle.

Only then did the netizens realize that the place where the Program Team was located was none other than the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building!

The netizens' eyes widened instantly.

"Holy crap, is the Program Team so rich that they ran off to Dubai?"

"No wonder Extreme Brother was out of contact for a whole day. I thought he was resting, but it turns out he was on a plane!"

"This Program Team clearly isn't short on cash; after all, the prize money is 40 million. I'm not surprised they went to Dubai to stir things up. What surprises me is how the Program Team convinced those white-turbaned locals to agree to lend out the Burj Khalifa for filming?"

"I heard that many nobles among those white-turbaned locals also love Extreme Sports; it could be said to be a national craze."

Just as the netizens were discussing this, the camera moved from top to bottom and finally landed on the main stage.

At this moment, He Bingbing was wearing traditional UAE attire with an exotic flair, paired with custom-made makeup, looking very beautiful and sexy.

The netizens in the livestream room were howling in excitement, and for a while, the entire livestream room was flooded with heart emojis.

"Bingbing, I love you! I want to have your babies!"

"My wife Bingbing is still the most beautiful; she's good-looking, so no matter what clothes she wears, she looks good!"

He Bingbing picked up the microphone and started with a smile.

"Challenge the limits, bravely climb to the peak!"

"Good morning, audience friends, welcome to our livestream room. This is the recording site for the "Peak Challenge" program!"

"After the first competition ended, our Program Team made temporary adjustments."

"At the strong suggestion of contestant Qin Feng, our Program Team has invited five professional guests from the Extreme Sports circle this time to compete on the same stage as Student Qin Feng."

"And the content for our second challenge is the Burj Khalifa behind me!"

The camera gave the Burj Khalifa a close-up shot.

Looking up from the bottom, you couldn't even see where the top of the Burj Khalifa was.

At the same time, the screen displayed relevant data about the Burj Khalifa:

Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.

A total of 162 floors, costing 1.5 billion USD. The construction of the building itself cost at least 1 billion USD, not including the construction costs of its internal large shopping center, lakes, and the cluster of slightly shorter towers.

It can be said that the Burj Khalifa is a miracle of modern architecture and a concentrated embodiment of cutting-edge construction technology!

Such a high-rise building is not only a landmark of Dubai but also a spiritual banner of the UAE!

He Bingbing continued: "Our challenge task for the second episode is to hike to the top of the Burj Khalifa within five hours without taking the elevator."

"At the top of the Burj Khalifa, there is a sapphire that symbolizes honor. The UAE Royal Family has promised us that whoever can be the first to obtain this gem, then this gem will belong to them."

The camera switched to the rooftop, giving the sapphire a close-up.

When the netizens saw this sapphire, they all couldn't help but exclaim out loud.

"Holy crap, the heart of the ocean! Isn't this the sapphire known as the world's number one, the heart of the ocean! The UAE Royal Family is actually willing to take this gem as a prize!"

"What is this heart of the ocean? Is it very valuable too?"

"It's not that valuable, maybe 100 million. The most important thing is that this sapphire has always been collected by the UAE Royal Family; it can be considered priceless. If you really wanted to sell it, selling it for several hundred million more is not impossible, after all, the fame of this gem has already been hyped up."

"Oh my, that means whoever can reach the top first will get the heart of the ocean worth several hundred million? That's too awesome!"

"I always feel like this is a trap. Although the UAE Royal Family is rich, they aren't stupid. There's no reason for them to suddenly be so generous, lending out the tower and taking out the heart of the ocean to sponsor this event."

Just as the netizens were speculating, He Bingbing had already started introducing the guests for this challenge.

When the netizens saw the personal profile of the first guest, they immediately understood what was going on.

The first guest is Trusi Aman, a famous professional Extreme Sports athlete from the UAE!

He has dozens of honors related to Extreme Sports and is a world-class Extreme Sports star!

For someone like this to come and participate in this kind of challenge, isn't that equivalent to having the champion pre-determined?
