(This chapter is 2-in-1, with additions)

'Excited...... excited'

'It's about to start......

'Hope for the whole village'

This is not just the hope of the whole village, it is the hope of the whole world, right? ’

'You must be watching the old thief, too, right?' Just ask you if you're in a panic? ’

'Hahaha, in less than three weeks, the peak eight events have passed six, and it is estimated that the old thief's face is green'

But then again, the introduction says that once someone succeeds in the challenge, the pinnacle eight of this round will be fully lifted and opened, and ordinary players will be able to play at will.

'This design is pretty good, it avoids map waste'

'Just kidding, it's all money!' Live Build! ’

'Indeed, the production of these eight maps is really amazing.'

'I'm already looking forward to the next round of the top eight'

"Can this round be successful, don't put too much pressure on the power boy"

'That being said, it's impossible to be stressed'

'yes, after all, he's the only one in the world who has completed six challenges'

'Whew—I'm nervous, really'

'I ...... too'

'Cat Man Bless ......'

‘……’

There is a lot of discussion!

Suddenly, the screen lights up.

Wearing a black jacket with a golden cat head printed on the chest of the jacket, Octane appeared in front of the camera:

"Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everyone."

Octane is well aware that his current streams are geared towards global players.

The 400,000 spectators came from all over the world.

Although everyone has a different time difference, there is no doubt that at this moment, everyone is here for Catman, for the ultimate reward of the pinnacle eight.

A huge gaming event attended by more than 2 million people around the world.

Unprecedented shock unity.

At this moment, it is about to be revealed.

The pressure of octane can be imagined.

As the only player in the world to have passed six challenges.

With his excellent strength, it is like the luck of the underworld, and the help of countless players at the cost of death.

He came here.

Came to Angel Falls, Venezuela.

It is said that the first sport that Catman played in the game at that time was extreme freehand climbing, and the last place he went was the Alps.

And now.

In the dark, he seemed to be tracing back to the roots, following the path that Catman once walked, all the way to the place where the dream began.

"First of all, thank you very much for your support along the way,"

Standing in front of the camera, Octane first bowed deeply:

"Thank you to the players who helped me clear the level,"

"Secondly, I will also take this opportunity to announce one thing in advance,"

"If,"

"I mean if,"

"Today we were able to take Catman together to complete the challenge of the pinnacle eight,"

"Then in this summit eight challenges, I will not take any of the bonuses I have gained,"

"I will announce the specific way of use after completion,"

"Finally, good luck to me, Catman bless."

Let's talk about it.

I saw Octane put up his finger and made a trademark cat salute in front of the camera.

Then, the somatosensory cabin behind him opened, and the octane with the carbon fiber prosthetic leg on his feet sat into the somatosensory cabin without hesitation.

Snort –

The somatosensory pod is closed.

Boom –

Rumble –

It was pitch black.

The wind blows in the woods, carrying sweet water vapor and bursts of birdsong.

Open your eyes.

The lush mountains and forests are dense and the wind blowing in the forests is quiet and refreshing.

Bang.

As the octane pushed through the bushes, the rumbling sound of water roared.

Follow the prestige!

“wooooo——”

Octane couldn't help but snort.

However, I saw that on the yellow rock wall of the steep earth, which was hundreds of meters high, a huge silver dragon with a height of 100 zhang seemed to descend above the nine heavens, penetrating the clouds and mist like a thin veil, and smashing out a vigorous mist between the deep valleys.

Angel Falls.

On the cliff of more than 970 meters, large and large craggy cliffs are vertical and horizontal.

Although from a distance, there are many protrusions of the rocks, and it seems that there are many places that can be grasped.

But if you look closer, you will find that the huge rock blocks that seem to be protruding and ravine-filled are actually quite smooth, and it is difficult to find the point of focus.

Not to mention the barrage.

Seeing this scene, Shen Miaomiao, who was watching the live broadcast of the projection, couldn't help but gasp:

"Shhh

More than 900 meters!

It's also thanks to the game.

If it is changed to the real world, let alone climbing more than 900 meters, no one may be able to complete half of it!

But!

Even in the game, freehand rock climbing in this terrifying place seems to be an almost impossible task.

"Yes,"

Gu Sheng nodded, very determined:

"The game doesn't do the impossible,"

"But this challenge ......"

Speaking of which.

Gu Sheng shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Xiao Nezha to continue looking.

……

Let's go.

As the octane walks through the first checkpoint, the challenge begins.

It's not like the avalanche rappelling in the Alps, and it's not like the surf in the Sea of Cortez.

Here, not only are there no natural disasters, the sun is shining and the visibility is excellent.

Even, the production team didn't even set up an AI audience cheering for the contestants.

Just because!

This kilometer-high rock climb requires absolute concentration and concentration of the challenger!

The slightest hint of wind and grass can distract the challenger and fall off this steep cliff!

Rustle –

Boom –

As the octane continued to climb, the sound of climbing shoes rubbing against the rock wall was accompanied by the falling of non-slip magnesium powder.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's discussion seemed to deliberately lower their voices-

'I'm ...... The venue looks slippery......

'It seems that octane is smearing non-slip powder'

'Next to the big waterfall, the water vapor must be ......'

Let's just say, is it really necessary for the game to be like this, can't it be a little bit less difficult? As for making water vapor too? ’

'@顾晟Sam, what about my eldest brother asking......

'Hahahaha......'

'It's almost a quarter......

'Octane follows the strategy route, and the front is a trick point......

‘……’

With the discussion of the audience, I saw that the octane was also a full hundred meters away from the ground at this time.

In front of him to the right, there is a rock protrusion.

To the left of him, there is a stomping position within reach.

I don't know how many players are pitted in this place.

Because if you choose to be safe and choose the left, then climb about 70 meters or so, you will find an extremely complex technical section waiting for you, once you choose to force it through, your physical strength will be quickly exhausted, and you will not be able to reach the summit at all.

Other words.

If you want to complete the challenge -

Octane's gaze was fixed on the rock bulge.

Sou!

Take a light jump!

More than 200 meters straight up and down the cliff!

The unprotected octane is like a vigorous civet, reaching out and clinging to the lonely bulge!

However, just as the audience was about to cheer!

呲樳——!

The smooth stone moss suddenly became difficult, and the hand that Octane had just grabbed the rock slipped and got out of it in an instant!

Falls happen in the blink of an eye!

Just listen to the bang!

The ominous sound of climbing shoes rubbing against the rock wall sounded, and Octane's body instantly became short, and he was about to fall off the cliff!

"Ahh

In a short exclamation, Shen Miaomiao even closed her eyes, her little brows furrowed, and the whole person was excited!

A moment of electric light!

Syllable!

"Whew-whew-whew-"

Heavy frightened gasps rang out slightly.

Shen Miaomiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

In the picture, octane, which fell down as much as two meters, grabbed a stone crack under him at an emergency moment, and quickly fixed the swaying body with his legs.

The rubble rolled down the mountain stream, and it was a long time before it made the sound of falling to the ground.

"Oh my god—"

Like the audience in the live broadcast room, Shen Miaomiao also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Then he took Gu Sheng's arm and wiped his sweaty little hand.

Gu Sheng: ?

Shen Miaomiao: XD

"I was so nervous, my palms were sweaty."

Shen Miaomiao stuck out her tongue and signaled that she didn't want to wipe his hands, but just showed him the thrill she had just felt empathy.

Of course.

In fact, the little accident just now really made people break out in a cold sweat.

Even the octane, who had even challenged the six pinnacle projects, couldn't help but have a heartbeat that accelerated, and cold sweat was dripping behind him.

It took a good half a minute before he started to climb again.

10 meters ...... Twenty meters ......

'This angle is really outrageous'

'Can this be passed?' ’

'It is said that it took at least thousands of people to find out this place......

Fifty meters...... 100 meters......

'My heart rate has risen to 158'

'It was nothing more than being chased by an avalanche in the first place'

'Come on, come on, come on!' It's already halfway there......'

200 meters...... 300 meters......

'It's a bit of a bad drop in physical strength.'

'No way, and this is already the optimal path'

'It's almost there, it's a little bit closer, and the last bit ......'

Whew-

Whew-

The sound of nervous exhalation sounded.

The majestic summit of the mountain is cold and cold, and the fine mist forms a layer of light mist around the mountain.

Through the clouds and mist, the turbulent waterfall is like the Milky Way falling for nine days, and it is like the Heavenly Emperor Bai Lian floating in the mountain stream.

The mist of the flying water was misty and gathered, and it was blown over the cliff by the west wind, and the black cat-eared woolen hat was soaked.

The majestic mountain range stands here for eternity, like the god Taitankrolos, who has been here for a long time.

Tiny mortals, like little ants, in the reckless courage of self-indulgence, but shine with the brilliance of humanity as dazzling as diamonds.

Temple! Temple! Temple!

Another round of climbing!

At this moment, Octane is about to approach its peak, and it is about to conquer this impossible mountain range!

However!

A semi-circular arc, like a vault-like boulder, lay above his head.

"In the end, I still can't get around ......"

The first time I climbed here, I looked up at the umbrella-like arching boulder and gritted my teeth.

Yes, even though no player has been able to climb this high before.

But by the time the former pioneers had climbed three-quarters of the way, they had already predicted this completely impossible ultimate problem—

How to get over this protruding arched boulder without any aids.

To know!

The boulder protrudes more than two meters from the overhang wall like a cover, holding the climber firmly underneath.

The inside of its arch walls is so smooth that there is no place to cling to.

As for the bare rock walls on both sides, it is impossible to avoid at all.

And this!

It is precisely the reason why until now, the [Master of Life] has not been conquered, and there is not even a complete map strategy.

For a while, the atmosphere of despair was confused-

'Isn't it? That's outrageous, isn't it? How do you climb this? ’

'There's no place to stay'

'This boulder is like a cover, directly holding the octane'

'And you can't get around it'

Could it be that the route is wrong?' ’

"Probably not, the other routes are either a direct dead end, or the physical strength is not enough"

'No...... Isn't this place a dead end? ’

Theoretically...... Actually, it's not ......'

'Huh? ’

‘……’

Not really.

After some careful observation, Octane discovered the clues of this boulder.

Right at the edge of the boulder, the farthest point in a straight line from him, there was a very shallow groove on the edge of the boulder.

This groove is about seven or eight centimeters wide, so inconspicuous that if it weren't so close, the groove would have been slightly shadowed by the light, and no player would have noticed it.

It's insane.

Octane only felt his scalp tingle and his heart beat harder.

No doubt!

This path is one of the correct passwords to unlock the easter egg.

However, in order to get the password, he needs to completely abandon his fear and become the master of fate.

He needed to do a wall jump, fly backwards off the cliff without protection, and then clamp the groove with both hands with precision, and stop his body's pendulum as fast as he could to avoid being shaken.

It's not rock climbing at all.

This is looking for death.

The strength of the back jump, the inertia of the leap, the precision of the grip, the shaking of the pendulum......

The slightest mistake will make him fall from his hands.

Moreover, if you fall there, you will no longer have the good luck you had just now, and you will still be able to cling to the cliff wall and grab the bulge.

After all, the edge of the arch stone is two meters away from the cliff!

Once you stumble, you will be doomed, and you will fall short completely!

Thinking of this, Octane's breathing couldn't help but become more rapid.

Whew-

Whew-

Close your eyes slowly.

Octane clearly saw that his physical strength was draining, and he was about to bottom out.

At this moment, he seems to empathize with the last moments of Catman's life.

There is only one kind of heroism in the world, and that is to love life after recognizing the truth of life.

When death is inevitable, some people are negative, some people are pessimistic, some people cry bitterly, and some people are hysterical.

But Catman still maintains the most optimistic attitude.

The choice was gentle, giving the world one last hug.

[Come on, everyone]

The next moment.

Hero leap.

Whew-

The free wind of the mountain stream hunts and blows the octane hat.

The two cat ears seemed to come to life at this moment, moving slightly in the wind.

In a trance, Xinane seemed to see that in addition to his outstretched hands, there was also a pair of hands tightly gripping his wrists.

Syllable!

Call!!!

Hold your hands tightly on the groove where your life hangs by a thread!

The brilliant and blazing sun re-spread on the cheeks of the octane, with a gentle and warm temperature!

The final checkpoint is on top of the arch rock!

However!

Even though he tried his best to pull his body and push his forehand pull-up to the limit, he was still not far from that checkpoint!

What to do?

Just a little bit!

It's just a finger's mile!

Moment!

The live broadcast room with nearly half a million viewers was silent!

Shen Miaomiao, who was watching the big screen intently, also nervously squeezed her little blanket!

Seeing that Octane's stamina gauge is about to disappear!

And at this critical moment!

A shadow slowly stretched out over Octane's head.

Then I saw him clasp the groove tightly with one hand, and press his forehead against the cliff wall.

And the other hand, with great effort, slowly lifted above the head -

The fingers are like slender cat ears, no more, no less, just pressing down on the last checkpoint.

[+230 Skill Score]

[The world's first pass of "Master of Destiny" has been achieved! 】

And at the moment!

Everything is still!

The wind no longer surges, the water no longer flows, the birds no longer fly, the clouds no longer ethereal, and even the physical strength gauge is perfectly consumed at this moment, and it freezes.

Only one multiple-choice question appeared on the Octane UI -

[Do you have the "Ultimate Trust" challenge?] 】

[Note: After this challenge, all proficiency, action stunts, trophies, records, etc. in this account will be cleared]

[Yes / No]

Nirvana.

At this moment, all players finally understood why "ultimate trust" was the only fixed final challenge.

The so-called ultimate trust does not mean trusting anyone.

Instead, I believe in myself, and believe that I can break the shackles of freedom and achieve the nirvana of rebirth in this challenge of breaking through the limits.

And at this time!

The Republican Band's "Counting Stars" also slowly sounded -

【Lately， I've been， I've been losing sleep……】

(Lately I've been tossing and turning and can't sleep)

【Dreaming about the things that we could be……】

(Imagine the vision we had)

【But baby， I've been praying hard……】

(But my dear, I've been praying deep in my heart)

【Said no more counting dollars……】

(Pray that you don't lose yourself in money)

【We'll be counting stars——】

(Don't forget the original intention, and then look at the starry sky-)

"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage."

Phew——!!!

With a whisper as Octane closed his eyes!

Arms extended.

The man who conquered the eight pinnacle challenges, at this moment, opened his arms, accompanied by the theme song of counting stars, even if he jumped into the thousand-meter cliff!

And at the moment!

Players have also really seen the amazing technology that Goldwind has infused into this game!

I saw that with the singing and falling, the picture of Octane's challenge to the real machine was automatically edited!

Every time the octane body flips, it is a presentation of a picture that once challenged-

Snowy Alps.

Octane is like a green arrow, spreading its wings and soaring in the rolling avalanche, with a shocking leap, writing the beginning of the extreme of turning and turning 1620 degrees!

Everest in the snow and ice.

Octane specially selected the red flag to open the umbrella to pay tribute to the fearless climbers in China, in the cold wind, flipping the umbrella surface, five golden stars flying up and down, painting a picture of the brave!

Swallow Cave in the Jungle of Hell.

The arrow-like octane enters the hole with precision, pulls the parachute with unrivaled courage, and lands at the bottom of the cave with the most perfect attitude!

The Sea of Cortez with huge waves.

Conquer the raging waves and dominate the seas as you sail through storms, lightning and thunder!

The fast-flying Tianmen Mountain.

At a speed of hundreds of kilometers, the eagle-like octane pulled the colored smoke and swept through the cheering crowd, accurately crossing the first line of the sky in the eyes of everyone, and opening the gate of heaven with its body!

The windswept Utah Ridge.

Octane rode in a bright green chariot, flipped and moved, and challenged the limit of falling mountains in the terrifying inclination!

Phew——!!!

Rapid fall and tumble!

The sun shines brightly on the canyon, and the steaming shisha of Angel Falls rises into the air, forming a gorgeous and perfect rainbow.

And the theme song of "Counting Stars" has also entered the final finale -

【Take that money】

(Something Outside the Body)

【And watch it burn】

(All can be discarded)

【Sink in the river】

(Rafting Song)

【The lessons I learnt】

(Geometry of Life)

Puff ——!!!

With the cannonball-like octane plunged into the shock lake!

The splash of water also turned into golden powder, floating on the screen that was gradually darkening!

At the same time, the game of all players on the whole server who are playing the game is suspended, and the global announcement of the wind of gold also appears on the UI interface——

[Congratulations to the player "Octane", who completed the eight challenges at the pinnacle and won the only title out of print——]

【Nirvana: Peak King】

[Deadline for the eight challenges of this round]

[Total number of participants: 2137889]

【Total Pinnacle Bonus: 10689445 Knife】

[The warm river formed by the confluence of countless kindnesses will send Catman into a pure paradise, and at the same time, it will also inherit the enthusiasm and sincerity for life he left behind]

[From now on, the "Golden Cat Public Welfare Fund" jointly established by Golden Wind & Cat Man is officially unveiled]

[This public welfare fund aims to help more people who are suffering from cancer to regain their lives and achieve nirvana again, and the total amount of funds injected in the first phase is 10689445]

[Thank you to all the Extreme Charity Ambassadors]

[The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage]

[The brilliance of human nature is the brightest brilliance]

【——Golden Wind】

Bite! Bite! Bite! Bite!

Announcement Released!

The ultimate reward is revealed!

And in the next moment, every player who has participated in the Pinnacle Eight Challenge has received an out-of-print golden title-

【Golden Cat】

Not bad!

After the collegiate discussion of Gu Sheng, Shen Miaomiao and all the executives.

The ultimate reward of "Summit Country" is to co-brand Catman and set up a public welfare fund dedicated to dealing with cancer.

The number of players who participate in the prize pool will determine how much they will allocate for the first deposit.

At the same time, every player who has participated in the pinnacle eight competitions will also be awarded a golden out-of-print title!

This is an act of kindness across five continents, and it is the best tribute to Catman.

In the future, the sincerity and enthusiasm for life left by Catman will also work with the golden wind to bring new hope to more patients and help them be reborn!

The next second.

A global sensation!!

'Thick-rite-crab——!!! ’

'it! Out-of-print titles! ’

The ultimate reward turned out to be this! it! Have my share! ’

'It's awesome! It's the most awesome ultimate reward I've ever seen! ’

They set aside exactly the same amount of money as the eight Peak Prizes to set up a cancer fund! ’

'Wow - I'm really getting a little nervous, I'm going to drop a little pearl'

'Really, this is the best interpretation of human touch'

'Two million players participated, everyone participated in this blockbuster easter egg'

'This is our Easter egg!' ’

'Golden Cat! Awesome! ’

'Golden title, on the same level as the peak old king of Octane! ’

'It's so cool, it's one of the best titles I've ever received'

'Old thief, he really understands too well'

'The Wind of Gold! T !! ’

'Ahhhhhh The Eight Pinnacle Challenge Venues are open! Free to play, no cooldown, just die! ’

'Hahahahaha......'

‘……’

Laughter and laughter! The players and the audience are noisy and happy, and they are in a hot spot!

And the octane in the somatosensory cabin looked at his title, and then looked at the ultimate reward prepared by the golden wind.

Smiles bloomed, and tears of emotion fell.

Look.

This is the wind of gold.

They are as reliable as BT, as upright as Miles, and as resilient as wolves.

And now, the lighthouse named Anya that once stood in the creek is shining brighter, illuminating more people with a gentle light.

Although they are just a gaming company.

But the characters they created were so vivid.

Because.

They are also as rich in the spirit of great romanticism as their own games.

Moment!

Snort –

The somatosensory pod slowly opened.

Octane wiped the corners of his eyes slightly and returned to the camera.

Look at the screen full of "Octane! "Octane!" "King!" "King!" Tears welled up in his eyes again.

Eight Challenges! In the clash of life and death!

He and Catman are the final winners!

Together, we stand on the finish line of defeat in the conquest of death!

Although this is the game.

But the spirit conveyed in the game is real, and the sparkling and enthusiastic humanity of the players!

The adoration of countless players is also true!

From Titanfall, to APEX, to Pinnacle Realm.

Octane is enough to be called the pinnacle player of the Goldenwind series of games.

It can even be said that the wind of gold has made him who he is now.

If there is no TTF, there is no APEX, there is no pinnacle country.

He couldn't imagine what he would be like now.

Are you still in a wheelchair, depressed, and self-pitying?

Come to think of this.

Now that he can stand on his own, he can't hide his excitement even if he runs simply.

He took a deep breath and slowly spoke:

"Thank you so much to Goldwind for making such an exciting game,"

"Before the final challenge, I said that although the prize money for this pinnacle challenge is huge, I will not ask for a penny,"

"Originally, I wanted to donate all of them to public welfare for free,"

"But the wind of gold ......"

Speaking of which.

Octane smiled, smiled brightly, and shrugged:

"They always give warm surprises."

Let's talk about it.

I saw Octane smile and whisper:

"I announce that all the prize money won from the eight challenges will be donated to the 'Golden Cat Public Welfare Foundation' free of charge to help more people overcome death, complete the extreme challenges of life, and regain their lives."

Buzz——!!!

This time.

The already noisy live broadcast room is even more sensational!

More than 20 million total donations have been injected into the Foundation!

And this is the result of the joint efforts of all players!

'! It's worth dying! ’

'Hahahahaha ’

'That's nice......'

'Worthy of my favorite manufacturer and my favorite streamer'

'It's really meaningful that Octane can complete the pinnacle eight'

'Indeed, from the beginning of the wheelchair to the present is no different from ordinary people, the power boy is really inspirational'

'A small needle, the emperor pulls'

'Now he's really an emperor'

"him, why is he so awesome, all games are so good?"

"No matter how powerful it is, it's not that you can't beat the big tree (dog's head)."

'Hahahaha's enemy for life......

Octane: Damn it's not going to get through, is it? ’

'The Master of the Battle Tree said that he was very good'

'The tree means that it is very good'

'Hahahahahaha......ha

‘……’

Laughter and laughter are today's gaming circles.

An extremely niche game genre that has never been known.

So far, 20 million dollars have been raised, and nearly 150 million yuan has been donated to set up a foundation.

"Summit Country" has become even more famous after this battle, and the wind of gold has further enhanced its international influence.

Perhaps the only thing that feels a little regretful is Shen Miaomiao.

emmmm……

More than 10 million yuan was donated.

According to the current sales of 3.08 million copies of "Summit Country", as of the end of this week, the total sales are about 3.17 million copies.

After cutting the commission, the final sales are 100.144 million dollars.

After removing the 10 million public welfare fund fund, the sales amount is 91.44 million dollars.

The net loss was 9.56 million dollars, which was multiplied by a tenfold rebate......

Hey, what a pity!

Shen Miaomiao pouted.

Originally, if I had been firm and insisted on my own opinion, I would have been able to collect a rebate of more than 95 million dollars at this time!

After all, because of his lack of confidence, the number of days of rebate was reduced to +90 days.

The final rebate is calculated as a charity rebate, and 1% of the total charity amount is obtained.

A total of 106,000 dollars.

But......

Look at the barrage of praise on the screen, and think about the people who are about to be helped by their foundation.

Shen Miaomiao also smiled, as bright as a flower.

In any case, we have done good deeds and contributed our own modest efforts!

Forget it, forget it! Those who achieve great things are not informal!

Anyway, I still have Overwatch to lose money.

That guy's loss is one hundred and eight billion!

Eighteen million, sprinkle water, don't do it!

Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao looked at Gu Sheng beside her, raised her lips and smiled: "Mr. Gu, it is very human." ”

And Gu Sheng also raised his eyebrows at her:

"Mr. Shen's leadership is good."

Let's talk about it.

The two glanced at each other, crossed their waists, and made the action of 'it can break my awesomeness, and the fork will meet the waist', laughing childishly.

Soon.

The news of the "Golden Cat Public Welfare Fund" spread all over the media.

And among the people from all walks of life who saw such a sensational and even circle-breaking news report.

It's a unique one, especially if you can't hold it......

(End of chapter)
