18: Chapter 18, Second Challenge Begins!
Seeing Trusi Aman, with his rippling muscles, appear on the stage, the netizens in the livestream room immediately lost their composure.
"No wonder the UAE is so generous; it turns out they sent someone this formidable to compete."
"Holy crap, I just looked him up. Trusi Aman is currently ranked number one in Parkour. This is clearly targeted at Extreme Brother!"
"The UAE is really playing a smart game. First, they brought out the heart of the ocean to boost the competition's popularity, and then they arranged for their own person to win. That way, they gain both fame and fortune!"
Everyone felt that with Trusi Aman in this episode, the probability of Qin Feng being the first to reach the top was likely very low.
After all, Qin Feng is just a college student, while the other is a professional Parkour athlete.
From this perspective, the gap between the two sides was already significant.
Amidst the discussions of the netizens, He Bingbing introduced the other three guests—the Qianjiao Sisters and Wu Jing.
When they saw that these three were participating in the second challenge, the netizens weren't surprised at all.
After all, the Program Team had released a preview earlier; barring any surprises, Wu Jing and Dilraba would alternate appearing in each episode.
Given they have a massive fan base, Shen Xicai wouldn't easily let such traffic go to waste.
The camera cut back to the stage, and the music in the livestream room shifted into rhythmic drumbeats, becoming high-pitched and intense.
He Bingbing smiled and said: "Dear audience, the last guest to appear is the contestant who ranked first in our first episode."
"Let's give a round of applause for Student Qin Feng!"
As Qin Feng walked onto the stage, the bullet comments in the livestream room were instantly flooded with applause and flower emojis!
After Qin Feng got on stage, He Bingbing explained the competition rules once again.
Just like the first challenge, the interior of the Burj Khalifa would be filled with various traps and obstacles set up by the Program Team.
Each person could choose two items before the challenge began, and after the countdown ended, they would start the challenge from a unified starting line.
After explaining the rules, He Bingbing signaled that they could start choosing their items.
Trusi Aman stepped forward first, taking a rope and several rock climbing hooks.
Seeing Trusi Aman choose such items, Wu Jing frowned, seemingly realizing something.
Before he could speak, Qin Feng also stepped forward to choose his own items.
Qin Feng chose a pair of gloves and a structural diagram of the Burj Khalifa.
Seeing Qin Feng make this choice, the netizens in the livestream room expressed their confusion.
"I'm not surprised that Extreme Brother chose gloves; after all, gloves are indeed quite important for extreme athletes. But what the heck is the point of choosing a structural diagram? Does that thing have any use at all?"
"The Burj Khalifa has over 160 floors, and the Program Team has set up obstacles on every single one. It starts off relatively simple, but gets harder as they go up. I feel like Extreme Brother will have a hard time winning this time."
"That's the heart of the ocean worth hundreds of millions! If he can't get it, wouldn't that be a huge pity?"
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment before choosing gloves and a rope.
Afterward, he walked over to Qin Feng and proactively extended his hand.
"Qin Feng, right? Hello, I'm Wu Jing."
Qin Feng, who was looking at the structural diagram, was stunned for a moment and subconsciously shook hands with Wu Jing.
He hadn't expected a big star like Wu Jing to proactively greet him before the show started.
This guy sure is quick to get familiar.
Wu Jing was also taken aback; he hadn't expected Qin Feng's reaction upon seeing him to be so lukewarm.
After all, he was one of the hottest action stars in the Dragon Kingdom, and he didn't know how many people wanted to get close to him.
Now that he had proactively greeted Qin Feng, the result was that he just shook his hand and that was it? That was his reaction?
Wu Jing frowned and said: "I know what you want to do, but I advise you not to do it."
"The Burj Khalifa is different from ordinary buildings; its design is much more complex, and there aren't many footholds. If you force it, you'll easily get into trouble."
Qin Feng was a bit surprised.
He didn't expect Wu Jing to see through his intentions at a glance.
However, at this point, Qin Feng had no way back.
Because just a moment ago, when He Bingbing was introducing the Burj Khalifa, a new system mission prompt had popped up in Qin Feng's mind.
[Novice Mission 2: Reach the top of the Burj Khalifa within one hour!]
Reaching the top of the Burj Khalifa within one hour might seem like plenty of time, but in reality, it was an almost impossible task to complete.
Even if an ordinary person just took the stairs, with over 160 floors, you would still need at least 40 minutes to run all the way up.
Not to mention that the Program Team had set up all kinds of obstacles and traps on every floor.
Therefore, Qin Feng was extremely nervous at this moment.
He knew that if he couldn't complete the Novice Mission, he wouldn't have many days left to live.
So, how to complete the mission was the top priority; as for whether it was dangerous or not, that was simply not something Qin Feng needed to consider.
"Thanks for the reminder, I will be careful."
After saying this, Qin Feng turned his head and continued looking at the structural diagram.
Wu Jing's expression turned somewhat ugly.
He had been a Wolf Warrior for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered someone who didn't give him any face.
The netizens in the livestream room burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect Wu Jing to get shut down in front of my Extreme Brother. Extreme Brother is truly badass!"
"There wasn't much prep time before the race to begin with. Wu Jing ran over to chat with Extreme Brother; how could Extreme Brother have time to chit-chat with him?"
"So I'm curious, why does Wu Jing keep participating in this kind of show? He's not an extreme athlete; he and Extreme Brother are not even on the same level."
"You guys don't get it. Wu Jing is just unwilling to admit defeat and wants to prove himself. Besides, look at the Qianjiao Sisters—are they here to win? They're just here to attract traffic."
The camera cut to the Qianjiao Sisters, who were warming up, and even gave them a close-up.
The netizens who were just complaining that the Qianjiao Sisters weren't professional enough couldn't take their eyes off them in an instant.
Big, so big!
Such big, round Pikachus!
The Qianjiao Sisters were naturally sweet-looking and were rare, beautiful twins.
At this moment, they were wearing yellow tight-fitting sportswear to warm up, and every movement showcased their curvaceous, graceful figures!
Especially that bottomless cleavage on their chests, which made the netizens exclaim that it was outrageous.
Fortunately, this kind of warm-up activity didn't last long, otherwise a huge crowd of netizens would probably have exited the livestream room and silently opened their browsers.
As the countdown ended, the five of them immediately charged towards the Burj Khalifa.
The Program Team had long since arranged for ten burly men, holding riot shields, to block their path.
To get to the second floor, they had to first charge past these ten tough guys!
For the five of them, this required both skill and strength!
