Chapter 100: 99. Become famous in another way_1

Not very skilled?

Yang En fell into thought. It truly was that he did not know the extent of Ren He’s physical skills, and thus could not make a proper judgment. But what physical prowess could a middle school student have, right?

That’s something ingrained in people’s subconscious. If a middle schooler suddenly tells you they are great at fighting and can take on ten people, would you do anything other than laugh it off? Surely you wouldn’t take it seriously?

99% of people wouldn’t take it seriously.

So, it looked like that person indeed wasn’t a professional. Yang En’s heart settled down, but after this incident, he had erected a mental barrier as if Ren He had already sounded an alarm for him.

According to his previous thoughts, he had never considered that someone would attack him; he had been a diplomat, not a military attaché at the embassy, so his lack of expertise in this area was understandable.

As for Ren He, after all, even if he had lived to 26 in his previous life, he only somewhat knew about these matters from his family, without a deep understanding. He had always thought he was living in a thriving and peaceful era.

But there’s a saying: Most people live undisturbed lives because someone else is toiling forward on an unseen path laden with heavy burdens.

After dinner, Ren He, as usual, headed for the Kailai Great Hotel. Climbing with bare hands wasn’t a matter of whether he was skilled or not—by now, he was sufficiently skilled.

If he wanted to risk his life while preserving it, the most important thing he needed to be mindful of was not making mistakes.

Is holding onto a foothold difficult? Not at all.

Is there enough physical strength? Yes.

Is there enough power? Yes.

At this moment, it was like playing Snake or Tetris—you understand the operations, but sometimes a single mistake can make the game irredeemable.

But while others play games, Ren He is playing with life!

The moment technique is set aside, Ren He feels only the burning of life in the bitter cold winter wind at high altitudes—an existence so real. They say there is great fear between life and death, and those who dare to linger in this liminal space must also have great perseverance.

At the height of the 28th floor, even if climbing only halfway, looking down at one’s feet feels like hanging over an abyss.

Ren He took his warm-up exercises seriously. Only after warming up could he ensure he made fewer mistakes. Ordinary people can’t even stand to text on their phones in the cold of winter night—let alone Ren He, who had to forcefully grip the bone-chillingly cold walls.

However, during his warm-up, Ren He saw Lin Hao’s car again...

It was still parked there, and its tire had been inflated again; it seemed it had been repaired. After all, fixing a tire isn’t too expensive, just about ten to twenty yuan. Ren He thought gleefully, and with that thought, he used a Phillips screwdriver to puncture all the tires again...

It was all done on the fly, no need to thank me! Ren He happily pocketed the screwdriver, ready to begin his mission.

This time, Ren He controlled the pace very well. At each steel structural foothold of each floor, he made sure to rest for a full 15 seconds before continuing to climb the next floor. This allowed his expended energy to recover somewhat and gave him time to think about his next move or to adjust the magnesium powder on his hands.

If someone were to pay attention to this wall of the Kailai Great Hotel in the dark of night, they would think it was a giant gecko roaming over it.

But the wall Ren He chose was carefully selected for several reasons. First was to confirm that the steel structures connecting each piece of glass were solid enough to stand on. Second was to ensure there was no backlighting, no lights shining onto this side. Third was to enure the curtains of the hotel rooms on this wall were drawn; otherwise, if hotel guests were to see a huge shadow crawling outside their windows, who knows what trouble it might cause.

Something like "Spider-man climbing a 28-story building with his bare hands" would have certainly hit the news, followed by a scolding from a police officer.

But honestly, if anyone really saw it, the two words they’d actually want to say are: awesome.

Ren He isn’t pretending to be too noble to seek fame, what’s an upstart like him got against becoming famous? He just didn’t want to get famous for that. If Ren He wanted fame, just by publishing his name while copying books, and then reproducing some classic masterpieces, regardless of whether people doubted how he wrote them, he’d be wildly famous. Or he could sing, cover all the popular songs, and how could he not become famous?

But the problem was, he didn’t want to be a celebrity, and his family thought it was irresponsible to play extreme sports. Some people might wonder, how is writing books for a living and playing extreme sports irresponsible?

If it were a poor or middle-class family, they’d be more than happy to have a not-insubstantial income.

But the fundamental issue was that Ren He’s family basically lacked nothing. Did he need to go out and earn money now? No, they would say, just focus on your studies! And don’t be fooled by the strict control; on one hand, they feared he might develop into a spoiled brat without any prospects, and on the other hand, they were also worried he might do something outrageous and bring trouble to his father.

"My dad is Li Gang" - do we really need more of that?

Ren He had no complaints about his parents’ strictness; on the contrary, after reaching adulthood, he was even somewhat grateful that his parents hadn’t indulged him in his youth.

In his past life, he had seen too many friends shine before age 30, only to achieve nothing once their parents retired, forced to live off their previous wealth. What was the point in that?

Mrs. Ren, Ru Min, had also suggested finding a nanny for Ren He to do some cooking and such, but Ren He rejected the idea because that would mean less freedom.

Perhaps on the day he really became famous, Ren He thought the best way would be through the internet or gaming. And for gaming, there was no need to be greedy—a single League of Legends or Dota would suffice. Those were games that once dominated the global scene...

And they were also cash-printing machines!

That "strongest king segment" was nothing; as the founder, just ask if you’re scared...?

Of course, there were more than just these two games that had dominated the world, but those were the two Ren He was most familiar with.

However, now was not the time to think about these things, as Ren He continued to climb upward.

By now, he had almost completely overcome his fear of heights; hanging outside the 17th floor, if he was not really stuck for space, Ren He would have really wanted to take a selfie...

A middle schooler climbing a 28-story building with his bare hands is a feat that, even if known in those parts of the world where extreme sports were already popular, would likely shock countless people!

At his age, absolutely no one could surpass Ren He’s achievement in the field of freehand building climbing at that moment.

However, just as Ren He reached the 26th floor, the curtains of the room he was beside suddenly opened.

Both Lin Hao inside the room and Ren He outside were stunned on the spot...

Lin Hao felt his heart tighten in that moment—I mean, who could imagine opening the curtains in the middle of the night on the 26th floor to find a person hanging outside...
