Chapter 33: Climbing a Cliff with Bare Hands to Pluck the Golden Orchids

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The golden orchids were found at least fifteen meters away from the ground, and this height made it almost impossible for anyone to pluck them.

For an indoor rock climbing wall, the height was usually about five to six meters. However, these golden orchids were situated at least three times higher than that.

The cliff was also really steep at nearly a 90-degree angle.

Any indoor rock climbing would have a rope harnessed from the top as a safety measure. For a steep cliff like this, there was no way any safety measures could be done.

‘Haha, so what if he has discovered the golden orchids. He can only look at them, with this height.’

‘What a pity. This is practically treasure!’

‘It’s the worst feeling when you can see it without having it.’

‘These orchids are so beautiful. It really looks splendid and expensive.’

‘Host, as the saying goes, let nature take its own course. Cheer up.’

Some gloated; some consoled him, while the rest pitied him in the comments.

But everyone was certain that there was no way anyone could reach the golden orchids.

At the next moment, Ning Fei shocked everyone with his actions.

He began to remove his clothes.

To be specific, he was removing his bag and some tools that he didn’t need. Only then would he be able to ensure that he was carrying the lightest weight.

The viewers were all stumped for words.

What was he trying to do? Could he…?

Ning Fei proved them right seconds later.

He began to scale the cliff! He had no harness nor rope and only used his bare hands!

Everyone froze like statues.

F*ck! Was this webcaster suicidal?

Was he really going to do that?

The drone flew above Ning Fei as it captured him and the cliff entirely within frame.

The viewers could all see that Ning Fei was truly climbing the cliff.

At this moment, everyone only had a word on their minds.

F*ck!

Ning Fei was wearing gloves and a short-sleeved shirt that revealed muscular and well-defined arms. He really looked fit and strong.

Although the cliff was steep, there were many little jutting stones that he could find a footing on. He checked the stability of the stones by pulling at them with all his might. After confirming that the stones would hold him, he lifted himself up after finding a firm footing.

Step by step, Ning Fei continued to climb. It was thrilling and exciting.

As the viewers watched him, they couldn’t help but clench their fists.

This webcaster was unbelievable!

The rewards in the webcast room came flying in endlessly.

A boss who had seen him instantly sent him 10 super rockets.

These 10 super rockets had trended on the Battling Birds Webcast Platform, and other viewers who had glimpsed that headline entered Ning Fei’s webcast room.

‘Which rich boss is sending rockets again?’

‘Let me see how good this really is.’

‘I’m here only for the treasure.’

Many new viewers entered noisily as they typed away.

Seconds later, the same word flashed past their minds.

F*ck!

Was he climbing a cliff with his bare hands?

Such a steep cliff to boot? With bare hands?!!

Was he for real?

This was way too shocking.

The drone was capturing the entire view of the cliff.

Trees dotted the entire land, and the cliff appeared to stretch into the clouds. A tiny human was climbing this cliff.

What was that? Some sort of extreme sport?

The drone was highly intelligent as it adjusted its angle and distance. It also captured Ning Fei’s face clearly and displayed him on the screen. It flew nearer before going away to display a high aerial view for the viewers.

‘This webcaster is so cute!’

‘Gosh. He is too manly!’

‘His manliness is off the record!’

‘So handsome! Damn handsome!’

‘I’m new here. Can anyone explain?’

……

‘Golden orchids? One stalk is worth 50,000 yuan?’

‘Did you just say that he had previously sold a lingzhi for 3,000,000 yuan?!’

The new viewers were shocked beyond their imagination.

What were they rambling about? Were these numbers in the Zimbabwe currency?

But they had no time to focus on what had happened earlier on.

Right now, Ning Fei had already climbed 12 meters. This was a truly scary height.

When the drone filmed him from the top, the viewers who had a fear of heights all felt giddy.

It was too terrifying!

Ning Fei had paused for a while to regulate his breathing.

The only reason he had dared to climb the cliff was because he had grown up in the mountains. He had often climbed trees and scaled mountains.

When he was in university, he had joined many outdoor rock-climbing programs too. Furthermore, he was the champion of the outdoor rock-climbing competition in the capital city. So, he wasn’t really overestimating his ability when it came to climbing.

Ning Fei was agile, strong, and sharp. And step by step, he reached the golden orchids without any mishaps.

Now, the hardest task was on hand — plucking them!

Flowers that grew in such dangerous and impossibly high places weren’t that easy to reach.

Ning Fei had to use both hands to balance himself. He knew that the only reason he hadn’t fallen from the cliff was because he had a firm hold on the stones.

‘Host, be careful!’

‘Host, your life is more important!’

‘Ahhh! This is so nerve-racking. I can’t see this!’

‘This is far too exaggerated!’

‘Be careful!’

Everyone was praying hard for Ning Fei. No one was gloating any longer, and instead, they became worried.

Little Falcon had stayed on Ning Fei’s shoulders, and throughout the journey, it had held on tightly to Ning Fei’s clothes.

Ning Fei began to pluck the flowers. With a hand supporting his weight, he used the other to grab the roots of the golden orchids. Then he began to pull slowly.

He couldn’t afford to be hasty or impatient. If he were to exert too much force, he might fly off the cliff wall if he didn’t control his strength well.

Ning Fei plucked out the stalk of a golden orchid, with the roots and stalk still intact.

The drone zoomed in during this process, and the viewers’ hearts were almost in their mouths.

As Ning Fei held the golden orchid in his hand, it really looked beautiful and magnificent.

Next, Ning Fei flung the golden orchid down.

The viewers had mixed feelings about this action.

How could he just fling such a precious thing away?

But Ning Fei was right. A flower was light, and there wouldn’t be any damage even if it fell from a great height.

If Ning Fei insisted on bringing these orchids along with him during the descent, that would be a problem.

Ning Fei slowly plucked out orchid by orchid before he threw them downward.

50,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan…

When the viewers saw how the precious orchids were being thrown so carelessly, they were speechless.
