Chapter 97 Chapter 97 New Era (Main text...
"Hello everyone! You are now watching the final event of the three climbing events of this Olympics: the Lead Climbing Final!"
"I'm sure everyone's still vividly remembering the surprise Yunti brought to everyone a few days ago. She outperformed international champions in speed climbing and bouldering, wiping out the records set by other top athletes with her smooth and efficient routes! She won two gold medals for China, making a strong start to the first day of competition!"
"From the big screen, we can see that Yunti is still in great shape today. Will she continue her previous glory and create new miracles? Let's wait and see!"
In the commentary booth, Zhang Jiaming, the former Olympic silver medalist in women's bouldering, served as a special guest commentator.
She sang in unison with the experienced veteran commentator Liang Sheng, and her voices were filled with indescribable excitement and enthusiasm.
Insiders can appreciate Yun Ti's contribution to rock climbing far better than spectators. As a relatively unpopular niche sport, Chinese rock climbing has not achieved outstanding results internationally and has not received much attention from Chinese people.
Before the emergence of this new phenomenon, Yunti, rock climbing wasn't a traditional gold-winning sport. It was her incredible popularity, coupled with her record-breaking performances over the past six months, that sparked a nationwide craze for rock climbing.
If Yunti achieves another success in today's final match, it will undoubtedly usher in an unprecedented new era written by her.
During the warm-up session, international directors also understand ratings very well.
When the camera swept across the family members' seats, it deliberately stayed for a long time on Yunti's "support group" - all members of the survival team were present.
Ming Jiaojiao was still radiant, smiling and blowing kisses to the camera.
Banluo was so immersed in his sister's stunning beauty that he didn't realize that his stupid look was being photographed.
He Junzhuo reacted quickly, making a heart shape with his hands in an exaggerated manner, and a greasy feeling came over him.
Ye Xuan, who was already a powerful boss, became much calmer. After nodding, he turned his attention back to the competition.
Kangzi sat beside him, also sitting upright, already exuding the aura of an urban elite.
Cui Da and Su Jian smiled sweetly at each other, then waved hello to the camera together.
Ma Yuming scratched his head happily and imitated He Junzhuo's heart shape with his hands, but ended up making a big apple.
As for Li Xingyan...
Today, the showy young master had obviously dressed up carefully, his hair was meticulously done, and his clothes were even more colorful, like a peacock spreading its tail.
It seemed as if he had already calculated when the camera would capture him.
He slowly pulled out a cheering sign: "World Champion Yunti's official fiancé"
Holding the tablet in one hand, he said: "I brought my love child, Bao Bao and Xiao Hei, here for a visit."
The tablet was playing a video, and a little monkey and a big fat snake were running around excitedly on the screen.
"Alas--"
The whole audience booed.
The other members of the survival team also seemed to have discussed it beforehand, and they all smiled and gave Li Xingyan the finger.
The status of the group bully is undoubted.
But this man didn't care at all. It was enough for him to have Titi's favor alone.
Amidst the laughter, the live big screen switched.
Yunti began to warm up while waiting in the backstage.
The rock walls in the finals stood tall, silent and rugged, with heights and angles far exceeding those in the preliminaries, making it breathtaking.
The girl looked up at the overall layout of the rock wall, as if thinking about the optimal solution.
In just a few seconds, she jumped lightly, her fingertips precisely embedded in the imperceptible rock points, and the toes of her shoes stepped on the almost unrecognizable protrusions.
"Look at this dynamic force! And the perfect combination of core strength and control... Yun Ti is moving forward at a pace that surpasses everyone else!" Liang Sheng's tone was full of praise.
Her body stretched like a vine in the wind, and every effort she made was like a carefully choreographed dance, turning the impossible into an elegant reality.
"Honestly, this is my first time watching Yun Ti perform live. I finally understand what that online saying, 'She's a cat, but also a leopard,' means..." Zhang Jiaming sighed. "Her movements are so clean. She has the lightness and agility of a cat, and the sharpness and strength of a leopard. She's truly gifted."
…
Unlike team sports like football and basketball, rock climbing is an individual sport, and it is difficult for the audience to feel the passion and enthusiasm of unity and concerted efforts. It is also different from sports like table tennis and swimming, where one can compete with opponents on the same stage and perform exciting dramas of ups and downs and comebacks.
Rock climbing is a timed, closed-book exam. Climbers enter an independent examination room and answer questions quietly. There are no prompts, and they cannot adjust based on practice or feedback. The answers are revealed after the bell rings.
The final word.
Over-reliance on the athletes' personal charm is one of the internal reasons why rock climbing is not as popular as other sports.
However, Yun Ti has taken this personal art performance to the extreme.
The time is not even half over yet and the finish area is in sight.
Many viewers started to open champagne halfway through, and the director focused the camera on the Chinese people waving the five-star red flag.
The smell of victory seemed to be in the air.
Yun Ti stretched out his right hand and grabbed the key fulcrum, a small blue rock point.
However, at the moment she put her whole body weight on it, the rock suddenly shattered as if it could not bear the weight!
As if by telepathy, Li Xingyan and Ban Lie stood up suddenly.
"Fuck!"
The exclamation swept through the entire audience like a huge wave.
Yun Ti's body suddenly sank down, but her left arm was still tightly holding onto a rock point with an edge as thin as a knife. This was her only remaining life-saving straw.
Her entire body was suspended in the air, connected to the rock wall only by two fingers of her left hand, swaying slightly in the suffocating air.
"Oh my god! What happened? Why did the rock break?!"
Zhang Jiaming shouted until his voice broke, and in a hoarse voice, he asked the commentator next to him, "Lao Liang, has this ever happened in Olympic history? What remedial measures will be taken for mistakes caused by force majeure?"
To be honest, no one knows.
Not in their home court, the referee was unfair, and Yun Ti was seen as a thorn in the eyes of other countries because of his extraordinary strength. At this moment, he was attacked from all sides.
In the audience, countless people covered their mouths, and some even subconsciously closed their eyes, not daring to watch anymore.
The camera clearly captured Yun Ti's arm muscles trembling violently due to extreme exertion, and sweat dripped in strings along her tense jaw line, hitting the safety rope below.
Time is infinitely stretched and solidified, and every second feels extremely heavy.
She hung in mid-air, like a leaf about to be torn apart by the wind.
"Hold on! Yunti! Hold on!"
Liang Sheng's voice was low and his fists were clenched.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Ti raised her head with difficulty and exhaled.
The scorching sun hit her brow bones, casting deep shadows under her eye sockets.
The whole sky was upside down, and in a trance, the hot wind of the Serengeti whistled past, and shadows were hazy between the acacia leaves.
Yun Ti seemed to have returned to her hometown after a long absence.
The mother leopard held her by the back of the neck, staggered through the mud accumulated by the heavy rain, stepped over the dry and cracked dry pond, climbed up the high slope where she was surrounded by lions and hungry wolves, and finally dug her sharp claws into the tough tree trunk, sweeping through the canopy that blocked out the sun like a hurricane.
That was the first time she felt that the unreachable sky could be within her reach.
Just like now.
-
It’s too difficult…I can’t hold on…
Even if she fails in the end, she is still our hero.
Everyone thinks this way.
Unexpectedly, Yun Ti began to find the right rhythm and swing her body, with the amplitude gradually increasing, as if a pendulum was accumulating power.
Finally, with one last desperate swing, she released the precarious thin point and thrust out like an arrow.
By stepping on a rough, primitive rock edge higher up, Yunti used the force to accurately place herself on the nearest handhold of the same color.
Hold on!
"She did it! Oh my god! Yunti actually used the original rock wall! Wait, the referee raised his hand to signal..."
Zhang Jiaming's voice was completely broken and he was crying.
"No foul! The game continues!"
The entire venue erupted in almost crazy, surviving cheers, and even foreign audiences and media couldn't help but applaud.
The sound waves almost blew the dome off.
It took four minutes to reach a height of over 20 meters. After completing 50+ fulcrums, we arrived at an extremely smooth upward-angled rock slab with almost no obvious handholds.
But the top of the rock face was right in front of us.
From the overhead shot, the audience in the stadium has become a densely packed mass of small dots.
Too high...
Tens of thousands of people gasped at the same time, and deathly silence descended.
Yun Ti showed no fear at all, and even changed her footing while lying on her back.
Then, she pressed her body against the smooth rock slab and used an extremely tricky upside-down angle to slowly crawl upwards relying solely on friction and core strength.
"It's incredible! Every movement Yunti makes seems to be deconstructing the equation of gravity!"
Before Liang Sheng finished speaking, Yun Ti, after breaking through the upward angle, suddenly pulled his body upwards, raised his right hand high, and slammed it heavily on the finish line touch panel with a desperate force.
Finished climbing!
Thunderous cheers tore through the silence.
In the commentary booth, the voices of Zhang Jiaming and Liang Sheng were completely drowned out.
Countless audiences jumped up, tears streaming down their faces, and waved the five-star red flag vigorously. Huge waves of cheers came one after another, impacting every corner of the venue.
The big screen on site was repeatedly replaying Yun Ti’s highlights.
The rock shattered, hanging on the wall with one hand, pushing the body's limit to conquer the smooth rock slab at the last elevation, and the final earth-shattering blow...
"True strength doesn't come from being born tough, but from surviving countless sharp trials on rocky cliffs, still daring to reach up with scarred hands to touch the higher, more distant sky. Only those who have experienced pain can reach there! This sweat-soaked rock face is their battleground to the sky!"
"Yun Ti! Well done! Well done to the girls on the women's team!"
With the guidance of the ground safety officer, Yun Ti descended gracefully with almost no sense of falling.
On the big screen, she faced the camera sideways, and the rugged rock wall behind her turned into a shadow.
The moment she reached the ground, Yun Ti looked back at the winding path leading to the summit that she had just conquered, raised her hand, and gently touched the cold rock wall in front of her with her fingertips.
The wind blew her scattered hair behind her ears, revealing a tough and vital profile.
"When the moment of reaching the summit arrives, looking back at the route I took, those once daunting difficulties now become medals. The satisfaction of rock climbing comes not only from reaching the summit, but also from every inch of progress along the way, every time I overcome my fears."
"Dear audience! Imagine that the city has suddenly become another rock face, dotted with all sorts of possible holds and routes. The challenges of life remain. What matters is not how high the rock face is, but how you view it, and whether you are willing to reach for the next hold."
Zhang Jiaming's voice rang out again, piercing the clamor with undeniable conviction. "Yun Ti's performance today may teach us to consider the most important lesson in life—how to find the fulcrum of life in a vertical world."
"Thank you Yunti! Thank you for our three consecutive Olympic championships!"
"Friends, at this moment, let us fulfill our promise, cheer for the heroes without reservation, and celebrate the arrival of a new era together!"
…
On the live broadcast platform of central media, barrages are as numerous as afterimages.
【Well deserved!!!】
[Yun Ti! Big women are awesome! (I'm not saying men are awesome)]
Ahh ...
[Can anyone count how many domestic and international celebrities, internet influencers, and wealthy second-generations were captured in the audience snapshot session just now?... Damn, this is a true all-star lineup!]
I won't say anything about the domestic stuff, but why did I see several big stars and directors from Country America with "cloud" logos painted on their faces? Is Yunti really that popular?
[The person above, you're a new fan, right? I wonder how our Tijie became so popular? The unedited version of the survival variety show was first aired in the United States...]
The Olympics are just like this. If you can't do special effects, don't let Tijie use her skills to carry the show, ok? (dog head saves life)
[I seriously suspect that the foreign director is here to invite Yun Ti to shoot a superhero movie series, just in case the money for stunt doubles and special effects can be saved]
[Now that you mention that, I suddenly remembered that news a few days ago. It seems this director also attended Li Xiaoshaoye's graduation exhibition and was very impressed with him!]
Is this true? Isn't Li Xingyan a second-generation loser? Are you sure he's not trying to please her just because her family is rich?
[As for online marketing accounts, just take a look. Li Xingyan is so popular in the American film industry. Isn't the "genius new director" a good name?]
[I can attest... I hold a Master's degree in directing and screenwriting from the school next door to his. My director even analyzed his debut film, shot in his junior year, in class. I heard that film made hundreds of millions upon its release in the US...]
[Holy crap! I can't tell at all... I just think he's a bootlicker, a pretentious, and a showoff. Look at the way he's dressed today! He's got the word "gigolo" written all over his face!]
[No problem, the husband's beauty is the wife's glory!]
…
During the post-match interview, Yun Ti and Gu Chengyu had no way to avoid it and were both blocked at the exit.
Only official Chinese media were allowed into the Olympic Village, and the questions asked by the reporters were calm and friendly.
After answering a few routine questions about her daily training and her feelings after winning the championship, a reporter asked Yun Ti about her "future career plan."
"As everyone knows, our Ti Ti's first TV series will be released soon, and the recently released trailer is also very exciting. From the entertainment industry to the sports world, the span is amazing. Many netizens are curious about whether Ti Ti will continue to delve into rock climbing in the future, or return to the film and television industry?"
This question touched Gu Chengyu's heart deeply. Personally, she naturally hoped that Yun Ti could shine in this sport and continue the country's glory for decades.
But she knew in her heart: Yunti's journey was far more than this.
He wanted to avoid this question, but after thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chengyu finally decided not to interfere with the younger generation's right to speak.
"I don't know either."
As agreed, Coach Gu remained silent, meaning he could answer on his own. Yun Ti thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I'll take care of both. Maybe I'll pause for both."
The clever Leopard also learned the "tricky literature" and "nonsense literature" commonly used by humans.
After giving an ambiguous answer, she smiled and said, "After all, it's my first time being a human being, so there are endless possibilities."
Everyone understood and smiled like an aunt.
Everyone thought they understood.
In fact, no one understood the deeper meaning of her words.
Immediately afterwards, the microphone was given to foreign media.
There are many reporters, and their quality varies.
An entertainment tabloid seized the initiative and, seeking attention, began to focus the interview on Yun Ti's private life. "I heard that your new boyfriend is Li Xingyan, the talented young director currently gaining attention in the international film industry. Is this true?"
Hearing that the conversation was not going well, Gu Chengyu immediately spoke up to stop him: "Sorry, it's not convenient to answer questions that are not related to the competition."
"Really." Yun Ti, who had just finished listening to the simultaneous interpretation, answered directly, "Li Xingyan is my boyfriend."
I originally thought that Young Master Li was the only one who was in love, but now judging from the extent to which Yun Ti dotes on her husband, she is no less.
Gu Chengyu held his forehead helplessly and said, "What a waste."
Once this door was opened, gossip from all directions came flooding in.
Some media outlets took the opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for her, asking, "As a woman, you don't wear makeup every day. Compared to Li Shao, you don't seem as delicate and beautiful. And his wealth and status are currently much higher than yours. Are you worried about the risk of infidelity?"
These remarks were not polite at all, and the foreign media were enthusiastic and fanned the flames.
Domestic media outlets have changed their stance, but due to their official status, they are hesitant to bring the conflict to the surface.
Only Yunti, who didn't understand English, looked confused and was still waiting for translation.
"Hey! What are you barking about?"
Suddenly, a clear and loud voice broke the deadlock.
Glance sideways.
Li Xingyan, who had infiltrated the media corps at some point, was seen carrying even more impressive cameras than the reporters on the scene. He charged into the front row and declared in a fluent, authentic American accent, "I dress well every day. My wife won't cheat on me! Anyone who dares to try to steal my wife should take a piss and look at themselves first to see if they're as pleasing to the eye as I am!"
She is dressed ostentatiously, has an overbearing demeanor, and speaks in an overbearing tone.
That’s the content…
There's no hope. The Yun family's spoiled husband has been immersed in the hearty self-objectification and competition and cannot extricate himself.
There was already a round of argument over there, and Yun Ti had just finished listening to the translation.
She took off the translator's headset with one hand and waved to Li Xingyan with a smile.
Li Xiaogou, who had just been arguing with the group and barking everywhere, happily picked up the filming equipment and came forward obediently.
Yun Ti leaned forward through the retractable concierge railing, ignoring everyone's eyes, put her right hand on the back of his neck, and kissed him directly.
"Bang!"
The expensive and heavy camera slipped from Li Xingyan's hands and fell to the ground like a landslide.
Immediately afterwards, exclamations and camera clicks rang out from all directions, and flashes converged on one point.
"Well, I promise you, I won't cheat."
After the brief kiss, Yun Ti smiled and pinched the dazed Li Xingyan, "Husband?"
…
Across the ocean, China.
The movie directed by Li Ran was released online.
Maybe it can't be called a movie.
This is a documentary short film edited from footage she recorded while filming a wildlife conservation documentary more than ten years ago.
At the end of the film, the mother leopard and her cubs lie by the lake, drinking water leisurely, while Li Ran and her youngest son sit on the hood of the off-road vehicle and look out quietly.
In the distance, the dense crown of the acacia trees extended beyond the camera, as if to cover them firmly under its wings.
The setting sun spreads evenly across the savanna, and the world is golden, gorgeous and grand.
The screening is over.
The screen dimmed.
After a few seconds, an almost transparent message appeared.
「Wendy.Wee to the new world.」
(Wendy, welcome to the new world.)

The author has something to say: On the last day of National Day, I'm done, so I'm done [scatter flowers][scatter flowers][scatter flowers]. Although I failed miserably again, I've finished writing the story I wanted to write, so I'm awesome! (arms on hips) Thanks to my wives for their companionship along the way. There's a surprise drop in the comments for this chapter~ (actually, this clueless guy has been secretly spying on you all, hehe). Everyone is welcome to rate the chapter after it's finished, and give me more suggestions to help me make better meals that suit everyone's taste! In addition, the extra chapters haven't been written yet (orz quickly slide down my knees, I've really run out of inspiration recently [melted]), and will be slowly released in the form of welfare extra chapters later.
Next time I'll jump in the queue and start with "After Putting the Payment Code in the Letter to Hu Ka", a sweet little story of about 100,000 words, which will be served soon! Then I'll start "The Master of Metaphysics, Master of Masters" and "This is the White Society". If you're interested, please collect it [poor][poor][poor]
——————
The text of "After putting the payment code in the letter to Hu Ka" is as follows↓↓↓
1.
Xu Suicheng has a big hobby: cultivating obscure people.
One day when I was short of money, I learned how to send the payment code and a handwritten letter online to the original recipient.
As a result, a huge transfer was received.
Instead of feeling regretful, Xu Suicheng, who was eager to take action, posted a message on the forum asking for help.
Are there any legal risks associated with this money? If I don't return it, will I be sued by the other party in the future?
When netizens were condemning her as a "female liar who made a fortune out of nothing", there was only one comment with a unique style:
[Why did you mention the assumption that "you'll be on the same page in the future"? Do you not want to pursue him anymore?]
The next second, a message popped up in the WeChat chat box.
"Did I do something wrong? I'll change. Don't climb the wall, okay?"
2.
Looking at the anonymous friend who had no remarks, a blank circle of friends, and no one knew when he was added, Xu Suicheng fell into deep thought.
Fortunately, the other party is very generous and has a gentle and delicate personality.
Even though he has become a top star, he still remembers their old friendship and when transferring the money he noted that it was a voluntary gift so that she would not feel guilty.
Xu Suicheng: Thank you, but...
I'm not feeling guilty, I'm just feeling guilty!!!
Although he has cultivated countless obscure celebrities, the data is just something he throws in whenever he thinks of it. His fans are zombie fan packages bought for 9.9 on Taobao. He often visits the set because the annual pass to the film and television city does not need to be recouped. Even the handwritten letters... he writes more than a dozen copies on carbon paper and delivers them wherever he goes.
As for the payment code, just close your eyes and plug it in!
Faced with the other party's invitation to visit the set offline, Xu Suicheng remained calm.
Don’t panic, you’re just one person, use the process of elimination!
This kind of small scene, from calm and easy...
As a result, one night passed.
Suddenly, there were three more transfers from different accounts on the card.
Xu Suicheng: Hurrying and crawling.jpg
It’s over, who are these people!!!
3.
Asking about one's well-being, hinting at others' feelings, reminiscing about the past...
Xu Suicheng finally locked on his target and went to the appointment with his head held high.
After an afternoon of enthusiastic chatting, the boy shyly took out his phone and said, "We don't have any contact information. How about adding WeChat?"
Xu Suicheng: ???
At this time, the phone vibrated continuously.
The green chat box came up like a ghost.
【Are you here? I don't think I saw you. 】
[As expected, you still want to climb the wall, right? ]
[I received the coffee you bought for the crew, although it wasn't for me.]
[Don't make a mistake next time.]
I am not him.
…
Now, I see you.
