Chapter 541: 535, Arrival at Parachuting Base _1

Shijiazhuang Skydiving Base is considered a tourist attraction now, with a ticket price of 5460 yuan, exorbitantly expensive.

In fact, domestic skydiving clubs always use their coaches being members of the American Parachute Association as a promotional gimmick, yet the cost of skydiving is always more expensive than in the US.

This time, the cost of Ren He’s skydive was even higher because he did not participate in any training and also refused to do a tandem jump with a coach.

Moreover, the regular jump altitude at the Shijiazhuang club is only 3000 meters, but Ren He chose to jump from 4600 meters. So, while the cost for others is 5460 yuan, his expenditure was 49800 yuan, nearly ten times the price.

Ren He felt that the money was not an issue, as long as the mission was accomplished—just 50,000 yuan.

But the skydiving club didn’t see it that way; they felt like they had caught a big sucker who wanted to jump at any cost, probably ran into a rich guy.

This time Ren He’s jump would not be included in the TK records, at least not now.

Liu Erbao’s accompaniment was purely as a friend who wanted to share the experience with Ren He; if he could capture some footage, then good, otherwise it didn’t matter.

This mission in the field of skydiving was at most a trial jump for Ren He, nothing challenging nor record-breaking.

This wasn’t a record-setting mission, sharing it kind of feels like it would insult Knight’s reputation...

However, all of Ren He’s daredevil activities must be kept from Mrs. Ren, so even videos that could potentially set a new record in this field must remain unpublished for now.

When this period passes, that’s when they can be released all at once. Liu Erbao also knew about this situation, so he didn’t bring too much professional equipment, only enough to support the filming from Ren He’s own perspective.

Moreover, many people now knew about Liu Erbao’s ties with Knight, and since the skydiving base did not sign a confidentiality agreement, Ren He would participate as if he were completely new to skydiving, while Liu Erbao and the others would not reveal their identities to anyone at the base.

When An Si contacted this skydiving base, he also used a personal name, a pseudonym, simply to ensure the confidentiality of the mission.

Mrs. Ren had stated that if he and Yang Xi were to have children, he could play however he wanted afterward. But Yang Xi had no intention of having kids so soon, and because of Mrs. Ren’s words, Yang Xi had been fiercely guarding against Ren He lately...

How could he even argue with that?

So, if Ren He wanted to pursue extreme sports now, he had to keep it a complete secret, even if Liu Erbao had recorded video materials; they were all for future use.

The TK official website still displayed the words "Stay Tuned," and An Si was still pondering what to do about it. In the end, it was Liu Erbao who suggested a workaround: release some behind-the-scenes footage of Knight’s past extreme sports activities, edited to be exciting, which would surely satisfy the fans temporarily.

The main content of this video was Knight’s preparations before the extreme sports and his condition afterward, along with some interesting conversations that had taken place among them.

The video, essentially gossip released to the public, was personally edited by Liu Erbao. It contained a large amount of faceless chatting, greatly satisfying Knight fans’ curiosity and expectations about his private persona.

Among the most memorable was an early conversation inadvertently recorded by Liu Erbao when he first started working with Ren He.

In the video, Liu Erbao asked Knight, who had just come down from Heavenly Gate Mountain and was still wearing a Red Scarf, "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

The Knight in the frame, wearing the red scarf, could be seen smiling and saying with a twinkle in his eye, "Of course I’m afraid, who isn’t afraid of death?"

"Then why do you still pursue extreme sports?" Liu Erbao asked curiously in the frame.

"Because it’s a dream."

These six words appeared in the video and resonated powerfully with viewers, easily stirring their emotions.

The video was a bit of a trick; it didn’t feature anything technical, but it genuinely satisfied everyone.

In fact, for a long time now, what people wanted to see was not just Knight’s extreme sports; they just wanted to see Knight continuing to run, to challenge, to persist in pursuing his dreams.

As long as they could still see Knight’s figure, they would have the courage to chase their own dreams.

"This can’t go on forever," Liu Erbao said with morbid glee as he drove, "If you ask me, you should just go ahead and make a fact of the matter with your sister-in-law, then you wouldn’t have to keep it hidden and could openly enjoy extreme sports. Otherwise, always dragging this out is tough, and the fans, man, everyone is looking forward to your videos. Believe me, that’ll be fun!"

Ren He’s face darkened at the time. Seeing Liu Erbao’s look of someone who’s been there and done that, offering unsolicited advice, Ren He couldn’t help but feel annoyed—what kind of nonsense was this? Letting this sleazy contender play the role of Black Skin had truly been the wisest decision he and Zhang Ming had ever made!

Liu Erbao just snickered on the side, thinking he had finally found a topic to dwarf Ren He. Usually, Ren He seemed capable of anything in front of them, but now Liu Erbao realized that Ren He’s only weakness might be his single experience in romance, a Chapter yet to reach its final step.

That’s why he made suggestive remarks like "that’ll be fun."

All the way, Liu Erbao babbled nonsensical things to Ren He about the little matters between men and women, talking about something mystical, some lotus, some cart-pushing, some top human treasures—making it seem like it was something incredibly extraordinary... If Ren He hadn’t already lived over twenty years in his past life, he’d have almost believed it!

Since there was absolutely no chance of reconciling with Mrs. Ren at the moment, and Yang Xi was not planning to have children so soon, Ren He decided to keep his extreme sports a secret for now.

Finally arriving at the Shijiazhuang Skydiving Base, the convoy drove straight in without any hindrances; Liu Erbao had already notified the base about their arrival today.

The truth is, although there aren’t many skydiving enthusiasts in the country, there are certainly not a few, because the absolute sensation of free-falling in the air is addictive.

During that time in the sky, skydivers will experience freedom like never before, enjoying prolonged periods of high-altitude free-falling, and they will also witness sights they have never seen in their lives.

Today was clear and windless, a perfect day for skydiving. Ren He looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
