22: Chapter 22 The Feeling of Brushing with Death

"Oh my god, this is way too thrilling! What kind of super-sized heart does Extreme Brother have? Is he really not afraid of death?"

"I feel like my calves are starting to cramp; this is just too intense!"

"Damn, this Program Team knows how to film. Four camera angles capturing Extreme Brother from every blind spot—it gave me a cold sweat just watching!"

"Extreme Brother's mental fortitude is too strong. If it were me, I would have definitely fainted from fear on the spot. This is way too hardcore!"

The netizens' feeling of being scared was actually not an exaggeration, because Qin Feng's situation just now was indeed quite dangerous.

People who frequently climb buildings know that hanging from a window ledge with both hands isn't actually that difficult; at most, it requires finger strength and physical stamina.

But if you want to climb up to the next level using Pull-ups, that is really no different from courting death.

Because when a person does Pull-ups, the entire body undergoes significant deformation, and the overall change in the center of gravity has no pattern, making it very difficult to maintain balance.

If you were on flat ground and you stuck your butt out and lost balance, at most you would just take a step back.

But Qin Feng is now at a height of one hundred meters, and he has nowhere to retreat!

Feeling the wind whistling past his ears, even Qin Feng was scared enough to have his hair stand on end.

Saying he isn't afraid of death would definitely be a lie; everyone is afraid of death.

If not for the system's lifespan countdown, Qin Feng would have already taken the twenty million and lived life as a carefree guy—who would be willing to come here and risk their life!

In that split second when he was swaying back and forth just now, Qin Feng felt as if his whole body had been electrocuted.

It's no exaggeration at all; in that instant, he truly felt that he had brushed shoulders with death.

If the amplitude of his swaying had been even slightly larger, he would have fallen directly from there.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and steadied his mindset.

After confirming that his body's center of gravity had stabilized, Qin Feng finally reached out his left hand and grabbed the glass curtain wall pillar to the side.

At this moment, the effect of the gloves gifted by the system became apparent.

Because he had enchanted them with anti-slip, the first thing Qin Feng felt after grabbing the pillar while wearing the gloves was as if there were suction cups on them, firmly gripping the pillar.

After roughly gauging how much friction the gloves could provide, Qin Feng exerted force with his left arm and began to stand up!

Seeing this scene, all the netizens in front of their screens held their breath, fearing that they might influence Qin Feng and cause him to fall from above!

The Burj Khalifa is originally a landmark building in the UAE.

The foot traffic here is immense, with many foreign tourists coming here for sightseeing and checking in.

Many people choose to take photos as souvenirs once they arrive here.

However, when the tourists took out their cameras to take pictures, they suddenly saw Qin Feng climbing the Burj Khalifa!

The tourists were all shocked, pointing at Qin Feng and discussing him.

"Oh my god, there's someone climbing the tower! Look, right outside the glass window!"

"How is he doing that? Is he Spider-Man? Why doesn't he fall off?"

"This guy is simply a lunatic! The Burj Khalifa is over eight hundred meters tall; his stamina is simply not enough to support him climbing to the very top!"

"Should we call the police? Maybe if they come, they can save his life."

The tourists originally wanted to share this thrilling situation online.

As it turned out, when they took out their phones and searched online, the news of Qin Feng's extreme challenge had already been pushed to the homepage, becoming the number one global trending topic!

There were even many livestream rooms that invited professional Extreme Sports athletes to provide real-time commentary on the series of dangerous actions performed by Qin Feng.

Because of Qin Feng's thrilling tower-climbing behavior, the number of online viewers in the Peak Challenge livestream room instantly exceeded eighty million!

Shen Xicai and Director Wang Haiwei looked at the data skyrocketing in the backend, feeling mixed emotions of joy and worry.

The more online viewers there were, the happier they naturally were.

But what they were worried about was that this tower-climbing behavior of Qin Feng's without safety measures was simply too dangerous!

If Qin Feng had any accident, their show would also die along with him.

Shen Xicai was full of regret!

If he had known earlier, he should have communicated with Qin Feng before this challenge started to see how he actually intended to complete the competition.

If Shen Xicai had known that Qin Feng wanted to climb up from the outside, he would have insisted on setting rules to make Qin Feng take a safer route no matter what.

"Old Wang, do you think he can succeed?"

At this moment, Shen Xicai was watching Qin Feng on the big screen, his hand trembling as he smoked.

Director Wang Haiwei shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I can't say for sure. But judging by common sense, it should be very difficult for him to succeed."

Director Wang Haiwei pointed to the middle section of the Burj Khalifa and said: "The glass curtain wall of the Burj Khalifa is not of a uniform design; this middle section has many protruding cylindrical rings, looking as if the Burj Khalifa is wearing several belts."

"Although such a design is very aesthetically pleasing from an architectural perspective, for an Extreme Sports athlete, it is undoubtedly a nightmare."

"Because the diameter of these cylinders is too large, it is very difficult for an adult to fully wrap their arms around them."

"If Student Qin Feng has no way to hold onto these cylinders, then it is simply impossible for him to continue climbing up."

After hearing Director Wang Haiwei's analysis, Shen Xicai's heart sank to the bottom.

Because at this moment, Shen Xicai also looked at the cylinders mentioned by Director Wang Haiwei through the drone and knew that all the logic he stated was correct.

These cylinders are like horizontal support columns; an adult has no way to fully wrap their arms around them, and even if they managed to, it would be very difficult to exert any force.

Unfortunately, these five cylinders have become obstacles on the path Qin Feng must take.

Unless Qin Feng gives up, there is simply no way to bypass them!

Director Wang Haiwei looked at Shen Xicai and said: "Third Boss, I suggest that once Qin Feng really climbs to that place, we should stop the competition."

"Let the UAE rescue team go and bring Qin Feng back; maybe he can still be saved."

"If we don't terminate the competition and let Qin Feng force the challenge, he will undoubtedly die."

Shen Xicai smoked one cigarette after another and did not give Director Wang Haiwei an answer immediately.

It is unknown how much time had passed, but when Shen Xicai looked up at the screen again, Qin Feng had already arrived at the area Director Wang Haiwei mentioned just now!

At this moment, directly above Qin Feng's head were the five ring-shaped cylinders!

Although Qin Feng had already seen the structural blueprints of the Burj Khalifa long ago, seeing these five cylinders with his own eyes at this moment, he was still shocked.

These five cylinders were even larger than he had imagined; even with the help of his enchanted gloves, he feared it would be very difficult to climb up.

Just when everyone thought Qin Feng would give up, Qin Feng made a move that left everyone stunned!

Qin Feng spread his legs as wide as possible against the glass curtain wall, and after adjusting his center of gravity, he actually slowly squatted down!
