Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 222 - 207: Streamer, Your Background Is Way Too Fake_2

In such a situation lacking rest and energy supplementation, the physical condition naturally worsens. All they can do is train quickly and climb to the top, and descend the mountain as soon as possible to recover their physical condition.

Yet Wang Ye still showed no sign of being discouraged in such conditions.

His breathing remained slow as it was on the plains, roughly at a pace of one breath every 3 seconds.

Even during intense training, he maintained a stable posture.

He treats the hundred pounds burden on his body as if it were nothing, walking on a 30-degree steep slope as if it were flat ground.

In stark contrast to the teetering gait of the surrounding people, one can't help but wonder if Wang Ye doesn't need to breathe.

Even the normally calm and reserved Sherpa leader couldn't help but quietly ask Ah Gui:

"Where did you bring this monster from? He hasn't taken a single breath of oxygen since the beginning?"

Ah Gui proudly puffed up his chest and said, "This is our Chinese marathon champion."

The Sherpa leader scratched his head and said, "Are marathon champions really that awesome?"

As a top Sherpa guide, he had led athletes and champions from various countries in climbing Mount Everest.

But those so-called sports champions, upon reaching the 6000-meter altitude highlands, all lost their original athletic abilities, becoming as weak and feeble as ordinary people.

This is because staying on the oxygen-deprived highlands temporarily impairs their oxygen intake ability; top athletes unable to intake large amounts of oxygen are no different from obese patients who haven't exercised for years.

Yet, these mountaineers who are sports champions do have stronger adaptability in harsh environments than ordinary people. For example, after training at Mount Everest for half a month, they gradually regain their original athletic performance. This is because their heart and lungs gradually adapt to the low-pressure and low-oxygen environment.

However, Wang Ye has never shown any discomfort since coming to Mount Everest, so how can we talk about adaptability?

After days of training.

Finally.

On August 12th.

The leader saw the wind had subsided and immediately decided to depart.

He thoroughly explained the upcoming journey to the team members.

The next Sikum Ice Basin is U-shaped, also covered with ice layers, glaciers that can collapse and crack at any time. Above it, many ladders aid climbers in travelling, the danger level is definitely not inferior to the Kumbu Glacier they passed a few days ago.

This is the boundary between Mount Everest, Luozi Peak, and Nubuzhe Mountain. Mount Everest is in the north, and straight ahead is Luozi Peak, while Nubuzhe Mountain is directly south.

Although Sikum Ice Basin is flat, it is still fraught with dangers. Firstly, high temperatures at this altitude above 6000 meters, blocked by "high walls" of ice and snow, make the highland sun's rays easy to reflect, temperatures can easily reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit, that's 37 degrees Celsius.

While mentioning high temperatures on Mount Everest might seem incredible, the truth is that despite the body constantly enduring cold, when roasted by the sun's rays, one can still experience temperatures rivaling summer in mainland China.

This feeling of simultaneous ice and fire is what makes it most painful.

Crossing the Sikum Ice Basin leads to the easternmost part of the Sikum Ice Basin, the 6400 meters altitude C2 Camp, equivalent to the final summit's "launch pad". They need a brief rest here, replenish energy, then proceed to the steepest slope's side camp at Luozi Peak for summit preparation.

After explaining the next leg of the journey, Ah Gui led the other team members to start preparing for the live broadcast.

To avoid wasting time and causing unpredictable risks. The Sherpa leader requires that their broadcast time be compressed within 2 hours and they must be on the move during the broadcast.

Ah Gui cheerfully agreed to the leader's request, as their camera's battery only lasted that long. Typically, on the highlands near minus twenty degrees, the viscosity of the battery's electrolyte increases, the rate of chemical reactions decreases, and the current generated reduces relatively, leading to smaller battery capacity, higher internal resistance, and decreased power generation capability; therefore, in low-temperature environments, power consumption speeds are very fast regardless of the device.

The photography team working under Ah Gui waited until the leader led the team away from C1 Camp before taking the camera out of the bag.

They didn't use a tripod to fix the camera, but instead held it with their hands.

Because the high winds on Mount Everest can easily topple cameras if they aren't hand-held.

Ah Gui adjusted the camera angle and directed it towards the ice basin behind Wang Ye. The dark rocks and silver-white snow layers interspersed, above was a pure blue sky with no clouds visible, the scene appeared fantastically like a curtain of special effects.

After a brief setup, Ah Gui attempted to start the broadcast using Anta's official account.

Due to the 5G network base station being distant, the internet speed wasn't rapid.

Upon starting the broadcast, the footage was seriously lagging.

Not only because of the poor network speed but also due to an influx of viewers causing the congestion.

How congested? Wang Ye could clearly see the number of live viewers jump to over 10,000 within just 30 seconds, then continue to increase to 50,000, 100,000 quickly becoming the Douyin's current most viewed live broadcast.

Because Anta's official account had previously announced Wang Ye's broadcast, though no exact time was given, many Qi Refining Brother loyal fans were already waiting for the broadcast on Anta's official account.

Countless comments scroll across the screen like Gatling gunfire, it's unimaginable how fast these viewers could type.

[First!]

[I'm the first!!!]

[Why is the broadcast image all white? Where is this? [Question]]

[Mount Everest, right?]

[Yeah, wasn't Anta promoting Qi Refining Brother skydiving from Mt. Everest recently?]

[Oh my, is Qi Refining Brother really on Mount Everest? [Surprised]]

[Mount Everest is indeed covered in ice and snow, a summer getaway; just looking at the broadcast where the picture makes me shiver in the over 30-degree heat of Guangdong. [Dog Face]]

[Changeling summer getaway my foot! Mt. Everest's minus fifty degrees isn't a joke, it can really freeze you to death! [Face palm]]

[Climbing Mount Everest and skydiving from it [Face palm] Qi Refining Brother is combining two extreme sports into one.]

[Unbelievable, I thought he was joking around, but he's for real? I don't know whether to call him irresponsible or simply brave.]

Wang Ye cleared his throat and loudly said: "Oi, dear viewers, I'm Qi Refining Brother Wang Ye, do you see the endless ice mountains behind me? This is the legendary Mount Everest!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

[Qi Refining Brother has spoken!]

[Whoa, it really is Mount Everest!]

[Judging by the ice coverage, Qi Refining Brother should be at an altitude of 6000 meters, right?]

[Six-thousand meters? Wow, Xizang's average altitude is merely four thousand meters...]

[Speaking of which, isn't breathing supposed to be difficult at high altitudes? How does Qi Refining Brother speak so smoothly?]

[I saw that Stupid Bear climbing Mount Everest was gasping at the campsites; why is Qi Refining Brother unaffected?]

[Could it be fake?]

[Streamer, this background is too fake!]

[Yeah, this must be a special effects shot; the streamer should confirm it!]

Seeing the scrolling comments, camera-holder Ah Gui jokingly said:

"Qi Refining Brother, would you like to prove it to the audience?"
