Game of Life: Signing Internet Celebrities from a Bar

Chapter 566 The Center of Convergence: Mount Everest Base Camp!

December 18, 2019, is the last month of the year.

This day is destined to attract the attention of the entire world.

Because a challenge race for Mount Everest has been officially confirmed.

Initially, this was just a private challenge by some international fitness enthusiasts and challengers.

Somehow, this challenge escalated into a question of whether the nation was acting like a coward.

Moreover, these participants donated over 100 billion yuan to charity. The winner from any country can take this 100 billion yuan to their own country for charitable purposes.

100 billion, how much can that do?

So, the situation escalated again, and issues such as notarization and fund accounts became a focus of everyone's attention. In the end, it even led to the intervention of diplomatic and sports figures from various countries, who signed agreements and financial clauses on behalf of the challengers.

In this situation, no one can renege on their investment of the money, since it has already been deposited into a notary account.

As Chen Jincheng thought, no one could escape in this situation. Everyone contributed 10 billion, part of which was for endorsement investment, and the rest was handled internally by various countries. Naturally, some people were replaced. The replacements might not be famous, but in this situation, the replacements must be truly ruthless.

Chen Jincheng originally planned to pay the 10 billion himself, but he found that the products he was going to invest in and endorse during this event amounted to 10 billion, so in the end he didn't have to pay a single penny.

Surprisingly, the investment representative for that island nation, Tojo Yamaji, even included a person from China, specifically a Chinese intellectual.

This intellectual has been exposed as a public intellectual who specializes in promoting soy sauce from island nations, praising island products, and using his intellectual status to criticize domestic cultural heritage, even proclaiming himself a sage.

The fact that this round of investment from the other party was supported by many intellectuals has left many people bewildered.

Chen Jincheng didn't pay attention to these things; he was dealing with people in the diplomatic and sports fields.

He never expected it to escalate to this extent, drawing people from both sides out of the fray.

So, his troubles began.

This challenge has two conditions: first, to be the fastest to climb Mount Everest; second, to ski down the mountain from the halfway point.

Actually, the most dangerous of these two challenges is not climbing Mount Everest, but skiing down the mountain.

After all, if you have money, you can send a middle school student up Mount Everest for a few hundred thousand yuan, and they might even get a special admission spot at a prestigious university.

Now, their mountain climbing competition is all about speed; they need to reach the top faster, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

On the contrary, skiing downhill is physically demanding, and skiing rapidly downhill in complex environments requires even more energy. In addition, the complex environment makes it easy to lose one's life in an accident.

Therefore, the sports authorities directly assigned him a professional mountaineering team and a skiing team, including a gold medalist skier.

These people naturally need to train him in these two areas, since he is an outsider in these fields and has never been exposed to them before.

Chan Kam-ching actually knew that the sports sector wanted to get a share of the 100 billion pie. There is also sports charity within charity, which includes funding basketball and football fields for impoverished areas and funding sports competitions for the disabled.

Of the 100 billion, just a portion can be used to accomplish a great deal.

Therefore, they really hoped that Chen Jincheng could win, otherwise they wouldn't have arranged for a gold medalist in skiing to train him.

Chen Jincheng was aware of this, but he didn't mind. Since he was going to do charity anyway, donating a portion to sports was better than giving to a foundation that started with a ten—he certainly wouldn't give any to that foundation. This foundation had given him plenty of inside information; a certain provincial branch spent 125 million yuan a year, with 90 yuan going to salaries, 30 yuan to other expenses, and the remaining tens of thousands going to charity.

It's safe to say that in China, if you were to ask which charitable foundation has the worst reputation, everyone would probably answer without hesitation.

So, the sports department sent people over, and he naturally didn't mind learning climbing and skiing skills. The mountaineering team arrived first, and they taught him very seriously.

Chen Jincheng was also very serious about learning. He was just teaching the students, and then the climbing team felt something was wrong. Soon there was nothing left to teach. More importantly, Chen Jincheng not only learned very quickly in all aspects, but also completely crushed them in terms of data.

In the end, the climbing team left cursing and swearing.

They suspected that Chen Jincheng already possessed these skills, and that he pretended not to know them to learn from them during the live video shoot for Ershixingchen Film and Television Network, ultimately defeating them completely in the live video broadcast.

They began to question the meaning of life.

The filming of this episode on Ershixingchen Film and Television Network really made the show incredibly popular. After seeing Chen Jincheng completely outperform the mountaineering team after only a short time learning, most viewers suspected that Chen Jincheng already knew the skills and was just playing along with the script for the show.

Of course, the products that Chen Jincheng invested in and endorsed during this event and program were overjoyed. Even before the challenge officially started, the popularity was already much higher than that of other celebrity endorsements.

However, no one objected to the idea that Chan Kam-ching was playing with the script. It's understandable that he wants to make shows and own film and television websites. Anyway, everyone enjoyed watching Chan Kam-ching completely dominate the mountaineering team.

The mountaineering team was initially a little unhappy, but later they found themselves suddenly in the spotlight, with everyone paying attention to them and endorsement deals coming their way. So they became cheerful and stopped caring about being scripted out of the game by Chen Jincheng and being completely outplayed.

Later, the ski team arrived. The gold medalist didn't pay much attention at first, but after teaching for only two days, he discovered that Chen Jincheng's flexibility, strength control, stamina, and endurance were terrifyingly high.

They might have scoffed at the title of "fitness influencer" before, but now they know the true value of being called the number one fitness blogger online. No wonder the other party dared to accept that challenge.

From now on, fitness influencers will be divided into two categories: Chen Jincheng and others.

After that, the entire ski team fell silent. After Chen Jincheng learned to ski, he became inhuman and started to crush them in terms of statistics. His ski gold medal was stolen. Who could believe it?

Then they also began to suspect that Chan Kam-ching was playing a script, since Chan Kam-ching must have been skiing at the beginning.

Anyway, Chan Kam-ching has gained two more titles: script master and all-around sports master.

However, so be it. Ershixingchen Film and Television had been following and live-streaming Chen Jincheng, and since Chen Jincheng was also providing screen time, everyone, like the mountaineering team, saw a surge in popularity and gained many benefits.

It can be said that even before the Mount Everest challenge began and before the preparation stage, Ershixingchen Film and Television Network had already garnered immense popularity and daily active users.

In fact, the sports side even wants to continue this kind of program after the Mount Everest challenge, but Chen Jincheng will definitely not be able to participate in such a program after the challenge, and Sun Ji is considering it.

Naturally, while Chen Jincheng was making preparations, the Warcraft team was also making preparations, and footage of their meticulously prepared work would occasionally circulate online.

As time went by, everyone's attention finally focused on Mount Everest.

Normally, even during the peak climbing season, the two Everest base camps are not crowded. But this time is different. Countless people from all over the world have flocked to the two Everest base camps.

Especially the base camp on the North Peak, because the challenge starts from this base camp, it was already packed with people the day before the challenge began, and what you could see were internet celebrities, stars, and wealthy idle people from all over the world.

Everyone knows this place will soon become the center of global news. (End of Chapter)
