Chapter 88 The unexpected finally happened.
Sky Forum.
Someone posted screenshots of Xu An's live stream on a forum, and then it went viral.
The number of viewers in the live stream surged again.
Because the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 100,000, the platform's big data accurately calculated and began to distribute and recommend the content, which also made it onto the popularity chart.
The live stream was titled "Challenge the World Record for 300-meter Deep Cave Diving and Win the Title of World's Number One Cave Diving Person".
Many people came across this live stream through the platform's automatic recommendations and were drawn in by its name and content.
In an instant, the number of viewers in the live stream surged again.
The top right corner of the live stream showed 50+ views.
Jiangdu.
Having just finished her live stream, Zhang Leyao was relaxing by scrolling through short videos during a break.
Long, slender fingers swiped across the screen and found a live stream.
[Breaking the world record for deep-sea cave diving at 300 meters and winning the title of the world's number one cave diver].
The view in the live stream made her stop scrolling down.
The stalagmites, stalactites, and coral fossils growing in the underwater caves present an almost dreamlike beauty under the strong light of a flashlight.
It attracted her at first glance, and she clicked into the live stream.
on the screen.
You can see a person half-covered in diving equipment, slowly swimming forward. Bright light shines through the water, reflecting a dreamlike scene.
"So beautiful," Zhang Leyao murmured softly.
If underwater caves didn't offer such stunning scenery and were only used for scientific research and archaeology, they would never attract so many people to this extreme sport.
This is a visual feast.
Some people are willing to pay a high price for a delicious meal, some are willing to pay a high price for a car, and naturally, some are willing to pay a high price for beautiful scenery.
Even if the price might be paid with one's own life, people always have a tendency to take chances.
According to the original plan, Xu An was required to explain his physical condition to the live broadcast room every 50 meters he dived.
After passing through 150 meters, we arrived at a depth of 200 meters.
Xu An stopped moving downstream.
The live stream suddenly went silent, making everyone's hearts tighten.
Immediately afterwards, the live stream screen started shaking, and a bad feeling arose in everyone's hearts.
Is Xu An suffering from nitrogen narcosis?
Viewers watching the live stream at the same time were on tenterhooks.
The next second, a face appeared in the live broadcast room. Xu An, who was using a respirator, held a camera in one hand and gave an OK sign to the viewers in the live broadcast room, indicating that he was in good physical condition and had no problems.
Seeing this, the hearts of many netizens who had been on edge finally settled down.
[Holy crap! That old thief, Chasing the Wind, is really scary.]
[That scared me to death! I suspect that old rascal, Chasing Wind, did it on purpose to scare us.]
It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright.
[By the way, doesn't anyone think that Old Thief Chasing the Wind's eyes are really captivating?]
[Get out of here if you're obsessed with looks! Is this the time to care about that?]
[200 meters left, 100 meters to go! Keep it up, you speedster! We believe in you!]
Zhang Leyao, who was watching the live stream, suddenly froze.
She looked at the man in the video wearing a diving mask and biting a breathing apparatus. Her brows furrowed at first, but when she saw the man's eyes clearly through the diving mask, she instinctively couldn't believe it.
When she saw the rapidly scrolling comments in the lower left corner of the live stream and the words "Chasing Wind Old Thief," her pupils suddenly contracted, and she gasped.
She only found out that Xu An was coming to Jiangdu for a book signing event after seeing him on short videos.
She then went to search for information and learned that Xu An's books were very popular.
"Old Thief Chasing the Wind"? Isn't Xu An's pen name "Young Man Chasing the Wind"? Zhang Leyao knew that Xu An's readers liked to call him "Old Thief Chasing the Wind".
As for why, she didn't know.
Of course, that's not important. What's most important right now is that so many people in the live stream are calling the man in the live stream "Chasing the Wind Old Thief"!
With those unique yet familiar eyes, Zhang Leyao immediately recognized that the man in the live stream was Xu An!
"hiss!"
She glanced at the live stream title a few more times in disbelief.
"Isn't Xu An a web novelist? How come he's gone scuba diving? And even attempting a world record??"
Zhang Leyao was both surprised and bewildered, her mind a jumbled mess, completely unaware of what was happening.
Although she didn't contact Xu An much, she kept track of his activities in private. For example, when he wrote a book on Zongheng Book Alliance, she read it and secretly subscribed to it.
However, after the book was completed, there was no further news about Xu An.
Nothing much happened, and she didn't know how to message Xu An, afraid he would misunderstand her as a gold digger who coveted his money.
Watching the live stream, Xu An continued swimming forward, her expression blank, her mind a complete mess.
"Le Yao, get ready, we're about to go live." Sister Li's voice brought her back to her senses.
She quickly composed herself and said, "Okay, Sister Li."
Sister Li noticed that her expression was a little unnatural and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no," Zhang Leyao quickly shook her head.
"Remember to tell me if you feel unwell. Don't push yourself. Your health is the most important thing, you know?" Sister Li said.
"Okay, Sister Li, don't worry, I'm fine." Zhang Leyao smiled.
Sister Li nodded, clapped her hands, and called everyone to get ready to start the next live stream...
The scene returns to Xu An.
Xu An descended very slowly; at a depth of over two hundred meters, the atmospheric pressure had reached a terrifying level.
Even though this didn't put much pressure on him—his physique was incredibly strong—he still had to perform like a normal person in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream.
250 m.
Xu An once again gave the viewers in the live stream an OK sign, indicating that he was perfectly fine and there were no problems.
Time passes little by little, and the depth increases little by little.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
When the depth reached 277 meters, the live stream screen shook a few times.
This depth is the deepest depth that the old cat ever reached.
Countless people's hearts tightened as the screen shook.
If something were to happen at this point, Xu An's body would be unable to be retrieved, and he would be destined to remain forever underwater in this dark and hopeless place.
This time, Xu An didn't randomly turn the camera around; he simply stretched his hand in front of the camera, made an "OK" sign, and let everyone know he was safe.
278 meters...279 meters...280 meters...
Everyone's hearts were in their throats as Xu An descended deeper.
At that time, Xu An had already surpassed the depth that Lao Mao had dived to, breaking the Asian record.
300 meters!
When Xu An reached 300 meters, he did not touch the bottom. Looking deeper into the distance, he still could not see the bottom.
No one knows exactly how deep the Nine Heavens Window is.
He didn't go any further, but instead took off a tag he carried with him and hung it on the guide rope. The tag had the letters HT engraved on it, the initials of Han Ting's name.
At this moment, all the netizens in the live broadcast room were watching Xu An's actions intently.
"Old Cat, I've come to the places you couldn't reach, and I've taken the honors you never got. Rest in peace..."
Turning the camera around, Xu An grinned at the camera and gave an OK sign.
The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement!
[Chasing the Wind Old Thief is awesome!!!]
The world's first cave diver has been crowned!
[World's No. 1 Cave Diving Expert! The Wind Chaser truly deserves the title!]
[Holy crap! I'm a die-hard fan of Chasing Wind from now on!]
【...】
Everyone watching the live stream on the shore got excited, and someone couldn't help but shout, "Awesome! Xu An is awesome!"
Tang Feng smiled, his eyes filled with shock. "Well done, Xu An."
Jiang Xiyan covered her mouth, bursting into tears of joy.
Just as everyone was excited and thrilled, the live stream suddenly went black.
The unexpected still happened.
