Chapter 607 - 281: Finale, Sponsorship Bonus, On CCTV Again

Li Younan arrived at the Rongbu Glacier, with a stretch left that required hiking to reach the base camp, but in any case, this awe-inspiring experience could now end on a high note.

The live stream was still going, and the awakened host couldn’t wait to connect with Li Younan, eager to interview him about his feelings after completing this impressive feat, his words full of excitement.

At this altitude, the signal was more stable, with no delay.

The host’s first words were: "Congratulations, Younan, you completed a nearly impossible challenge, snowboarding, and perhaps it took you less than an hour to descend from the summit of Mount Everest to the Rongbu Glacier."

Next to him, the climbing expert added: "And it was without oxygen, and even the climbing time was much faster than the average person."

All three people in the live broadcast were unable to contain their excitement, yet Li Younan remained calm.

At this time, he found his direction and slowly walked towards the base camp.

The host asked, "Younan, can you talk about how you feel right now?"

When the host asked this question, the two expert guests beside him were ready to listen with great anticipation, and the viewers in the live stream also wanted to hear Li Younan share his emotions at the moment.

Li Younan thought about it but couldn’t come up with anything quite dramatic, so he simply and honestly said: "How I feel, well, I’m a bit hungry, I want to eat something."

The host was momentarily stunned, but clearly not satisfied with this answer. This reply was witty, but as a professional host, he needed more topics from Li Younan.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Younan, you just broke several world records, and you did it under the conditions of a live broadcast, we can say we are all witnesses."

"You are not only the fastest to summit Mount Everest without oxygen but also the fastest to snowboard down from it."

"Can you share your thoughts about holding the fastest record?"

At this time, Li Younan couldn’t see the comments in the live stream, but the comment section was exploding, with many people posting...

"Fastest man."

"Host, are you trying to stir things up?"

"Hahaha, I wonder if Li Younan is that fast in other areas too?"

Li Younan saw the host’s meaningful smile and immediately understood the guy’s hidden implication, deliberately trying to create a trendy topic.

He seriously replied: "To be honest, I didn’t prepare much before climbing Mount Everest this time."

"For those who’ve been following me, it’s clear that I hadn’t even got all my climbing gear ready before reaching Mount Everest, including the snowboard."

"But when you think about it, having reached the foot of Mount Everest, it seemed a bit of a waste not to go up and see, after all... the view from the top of Mount Everest is quite decent, right?"

At this moment, the comment section exploded again: "Listen to what he’s saying; are these human words?"

"This is so Versailles, the best Versailles of the year."

"I can totally understand Li Younan. Like last time when I went to Hangzhou, I thought since I was already there, I might as well check out West Lake, so I went... so I = Li Younan."

"I see, another, ’since I’m here’, eh?"

Since climbing was previously very dangerous for Li Younan, the host didn’t dare to chat with him for too long to avoid disturbing his climb. But now, they could chat freely for a while.

"Younan, was there anything particularly tricky about climbing Mount Everest this time? Or, what would you say was the most troublesome part?"

Li Younan thought for a bit: "Actually, I did run into some trouble climbing Mount Everest because before arriving, I didn’t know you needed a certification to climb it."

"As everyone knows, to climb Mount Everest, you must have proof of summiting a mountain above 8,000 meters or two mountains above 7,000 meters."

"But actually, before this, I’d only climbed Gongga Mountain, so I was quite conflicted, wondering if I should go scout an 8,000-meter mountain first but with my mind made up, I thought if push comes to shove, I’d spend a few days to check in at Lhotse next to Everest for the qualification?"

"Huh?" The host was dumbfounded.

"But guess what? To my surprise, the Gongga Mountain I climbed on a whim can actually be used as a prerequisite for climbing Mount Everest, a pleasant surprise!"

"So there’s no need to climb Lhotse."

"This tells us if you want to climb Mount Everest, Gongga Mountain is worth a climb too."

"Although it’s harder, it might accidentally become your prerequisite for Everest, huh?"

The comment section became lively.

"Hahaha, listen to him. Are these human words? Checking in at Lhotse on the side? So saying Lhotse, at more than 8,500 meters in elevation, is easy, right?"

"How is what he’s saying different from me buying a fish and getting some onions on the side?"

"Versailles or still Versailles..."

"How does this guy manage to tell a sci-fi story with such seriousness?"

Now that the tension of snowboarding down Mount Everest was gone, the entire live stream was full of joy.
