37: Chapter 37 Holy crap, this young man!

Just as Mr. Xu finished speaking, the audience in the livestream room suddenly let out gasps of shock.

"Look everyone, Qin Feng has started walking forward again!"

The drone camera gave Qin Feng a close-up, and at this very moment, everyone held their breath!

Because the drone used an ultra-high-definition camera, the netizens could clearly see that with every step Qin Feng took, his entire body swayed from side to side on the steel cable!

This gave the netizens a tremendous visual shock!

"I originally thought walking on a steel cable was stable, but now I realize that the steel cable actually sways!"

"If the distance were shorter and the steel cable had been fixed in advance, the amplitude of the swaying certainly wouldn't be this large. But it's obvious that Extreme Brother rigged this steel cable temporarily, and the distance is simply too long; there's no way the steel cable wouldn't sway."

"Damn, it's already hard enough to maintain balance on a single steel cable, but with the cable swaying too, isn't this a hell-level challenge?"

"Extreme Brother is truly impressive. I originally thought he was already amazing enough to be able to free-climb the Burj Khalifa, but I never expected him to pull off something even more thrilling!"

Netizens actually didn't understand Qin Feng's behavior at this moment.

They felt that Qin Feng had already won the championship for the second round of the challenge; he had the prize money, and he had already obtained the heart of the ocean.

Logically speaking, even if Qin Feng loved Extreme Sports, he should have waited for his body to recover a bit more before attempting another challenge. Why would he start the third round of the challenge so hastily?

The netizens couldn't understand it, and Qin Feng, standing on the steel cable at this moment, was even more nervous.

Because Qin Feng didn't come to walk the steel cable out of a love for Extreme Sports; it was because a new system task had appeared in his mind last night.

The system required Qin Feng to complete the high-altitude steel cable challenge within twenty-four hours, otherwise, it would deduct two days of Qin Feng's lifespan.

Since this was a temporary task, even though the difficulty was very high, the rewards for completing it were also very generous.

Helpless, Qin Feng had no choice but to accept this task and give it his all.

Although he had mentally prepared himself long ago, only now, truly standing on this steel cable, did Qin Feng understand what it meant to be in a difficult position where every step is hard!

In his past life, as one of the subjects for training his sense of balance, Qin Feng had actually trained in walking on steel cables.

The training method for walking on a steel cable was actually very simple and direct: you tie five hemp ropes two meters off the ground, and then you walk up and start practicing.

Starting from five hemp ropes, and eventually down to one.

Starting from two meters off the ground, and eventually up to twenty meters.

Starting with the protection of a safety net, and later on, with no safety net, only a safety rope.

It could be said that this kind of training was done step by step.

Only through such training could you gradually overcome the fear of heights and maintain a relatively good sense of balance throughout.

Although Qin Feng had received relevant training, this was his first time experiencing such a high altitude and such a long steel cable.

"This won't work. Relying solely on my own sense of balance, there's no way I can complete this task. I have to add attribute points first."

After completing the previous task, the system rewarded Qin Feng with two attribute points that could be allocated freely, which Qin Feng hadn't used yet.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt that his balance ability had reached its limit, so he simply added both points to his sense of balance.

Ding.

[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully allocated two skill points.]

[Sense of Balance + 2]

After the system notification sound played in his mind, Qin Feng felt his whole being suddenly become refreshed and clear-headed.

Just a moment ago, he was still a bit wobbly standing on the steel cable, with the feeling that he might fall off at any moment.

But now, Qin Feng felt that everything was under his control, and he even had a feeling as if he were walking on flat ground!

Would a normal person walking down the street worry about suddenly falling over?

Obviously, they wouldn't worry about it.

Therefore, Qin Feng, who had been a bit flustered and worried, had now completely calmed down.

It was also at this moment that a new system notification sound came into Qin Feng's mind.

Ding.

[Temporary Performance: Host, please complete the specified action on the steel cable to obtain the corresponding Scream Value.]

[The more thrilling the action, the higher the Scream Value, and the more generous the rewards the host will receive.]

[First action: Kneel on one knee.]

[Please complete within three minutes, otherwise it will be considered a task failure.]

Holy crap!

Can it even specify actions on the fly?

This system is too insane; it's trying to drive me to my death!

Qin Feng was no longer calm at this moment.

Although he felt that walking on the steel cable was no longer a problem after adding two points to his balance, performing a high-difficulty action like kneeling on one knee was still not easy.

However, Qin Feng didn't have much time to consider this, because he had to complete this action within three minutes, otherwise, he would fail the task!

Qin Feng took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and slowly began the squatting motion.

Although Qin Feng's movement was very small, the moment he started to squat, He Bingbing in the livestream room exclaimed.

"My God, what is Student Qin Feng doing!"

"Mr. Xu, why did Student Qin Feng suddenly squat down? Is it because he can't maintain his balance?"

This was the only possibility He Bingbing could think of.

After all, He Bingbing was not a professional Extreme Sports athlete, so she thought the reason Qin Feng squatted was to lower his center of gravity and maintain balance.

Who knew that Mr. Xu would shake his head and say: "Although squatting does indeed lower your center of gravity, on a steel cable, it's not the case that the lower the center of gravity, the better."

"Just imagine you are standing on a straight line on the road; do you think you are more stable standing up or squatting down?"

He Bingbing just thought about it simply in her mind, and immediately understood Mr. Xu's words.

If you are standing on a straight line with one foot in front of the other, it is certainly more stable to stand than to squat.

Because when you squat like that with one foot in front of the other, although your center of gravity is lowered, your balance is easily broken.

This is the same reason why it's easy for people to be pushed over to the side when they are tying their shoelaces.

Therefore, this action of Qin Feng's at this moment was extremely dangerous; one could even say he was courting death!

He Bingbing asked very puzzledly: "Then does Student Qin Feng have some deep intention in doing this? Mr. Xu, can you explain it to us?"

Mr. Xu thought for a moment and then said: "I can't figure it out. If it were me, I wouldn't dare do this, because it's being irresponsible toward one's own life."

Just as Mr. Xu finished speaking, he saw that Qin Feng had not only squatted down but was now kneeling on one knee, tilting his head slightly upward, and had closed his eyes!

This scene made Mr. Xu's scalp tingle, and he broke out in a cold sweat!

Holy crap, this young man!
