Chapter 542: 536, an altitude of 4600 meters! (Second update)_1

After arriving at the Shijiazhuang Skydiving Base, the instructors and staff began to coordinate with Erbao’s team. Erbao was not a celebrity; he rarely appeared in the news, so no one could recognize him even though he was standing right in front of them.

So it was even less likely for anyone to guess Ren He’s identity through Erbao’s.

In the previous coordination, the instructors were made aware that today’s skydiving client did not have any skydiving certification, nor any official record of skydiving experience.

Generally, this meant that today’s client was a complete beginner.

"Hello, the thing is, for beginners like yourself, we really recommend that you skydive under the guidance of an instructor," an experienced instructor earnestly suggested, considering the money involved.

In regular skydiving activities, there are usually two types: one is Tandem skydiving, which means the instructor and the skydiving student share one parachute, with the instructor controlling the entire jumping process.

The other is called Solo skydiving, which is to skydive independently.

Solo skydiving is certainly more dangerous. Skydiving has always been one of the sports with the highest risk factor. It almost seemed abnormal if there weren’t dozens of deaths each year.

Why do many people fear skydiving? Because there are no points of rescue or support in the air; once there is an accident, it’s beyond recovery.

If an accident really did happen, whether you jump from 2000 meters, 3000 meters, or 4000 meters... the result would be the same...

The client today paid a lot of money. Logically speaking, the skydiving club profited, but what if an accident occurred? Letting a player without any experience skydive solo, without any training, was an unprecedented situation for them.

If the client really died, would they have to pay compensation?

At this moment, Erbao took out a notarized waiver agreement, proving that Ren He was only taking their plane today and that anything beyond boarding the plane was a result of Ren He’s own stubborn decisions. Shijiazhuang Skydiving Base would not bear any responsibility.

This agreement was very sincere. If the agreement stated that Ren He was there to participate in skydiving, it wouldn’t be effective at all if Ren He had an accident.

But what did this agreement state? It stated that Ren He was taking a plane ride, not engaging in any risky activities, which made a difference.

The instructors at the skydiving base, looking at the calm and smiling Ren He, didn’t know what to say. The client they had today seemed much stranger than usual, almost as if they didn’t see skydiving as dangerous at all...

"Alright then, according to the previous agreement, we’ll take the plane to an altitude of 4600 meters. Please come with us to try on the equipment," the instructor led the way to the base’s gear market.

However, Erbao laughed and said, "No need, we’ve prepared our own equipment. We won’t be using the base’s."

It was at this time Erbao’s brothers unloaded the equipment custom-made for An Si from the vehicle. As each bag was opened, all the staff at the skydiving base were stunned to discover that the gear in those bags was so high-end it was beyond their wildest dreams...

They were all top-tier skydiving equipment! Just an altimeter alone cost over a thousand US Dollars...

For those involved in commercial operations like theirs, who had money to burn on such professional gear? Most people who came here to skydive rented equipment. Even a cheap parachute set would start at 40,000 RMB.

The client had already paid over forty thousand RMB for today’s skydive. Everyone thought that was quite lavish, but now looking at his equipment, worth more than 100,000 US Dollars in total, they considered him not just wealthy, but extraordinarily so.

Was this really someone who had never skydived before?

Today, Shijiazhuang Skydiving Base welcomed a group of clients with unprecedented dominance. The status of the instructors was relegated to the lowest level, their usual authority ignored...

Ren He knew what he had to understand; the Divine Punishment System had already imbued his subconscious with the necessary principles. Now, what he needed to worry about were things like encountering strong air currents or controlling the freefall time during the skydive, not basic training.

Generally, when skydiving enthusiasts came here, the instructor was the ultimate authority, and no one dared to disobey. But Ren He and his partners had a more specific goal: just to have the base fly the plane to 4600 meters, and then take the leap, that’s all.

The staff at the skydiving base looked at each other, all turning to the instructor. The instructor might also have been clear that they had encountered some rich second-generation or official second-generation today; in any case, someone they couldn’t afford to offend. With a reluctant nod to the others, he told Ren He, "I will accompany you on the plane, and hope that you have some skydiving experience. After all, you only have one life."

Ren He also felt that he and his people might have been a bit too self-willed, and decided to ease the atmosphere a bit: "I’m doing this today out of necessity. Please understand, but you really don’t have to worry too much."

The bold entrance into the skydiving base was the result of discussions between Ren He and Erbao. Many people have experienced this: a venue with so many rules that it’s hard to imagine. If Ren He and his people didn’t enter the base with such dominance, the base would probably require who knows how many days of pre-jump training. Ren He had no time to waste on that.

So to avoid unnecessary trouble, they simply created a situation where the guests were stronger than the hosts, and then seriously discussed how to proceed with the subsequent actions.

With that, the staff of the skydiving base felt totally bewildered. They were used to being surrounded by skydiving enthusiasts, but now they felt almost violated...

The plane was similar to the seaplanes often seen in movies, at least in appearance. Ren He didn’t know much about it but listened to a simple explanation from the instructor: such planes are typically used for civil high-altitude activities in China, as helicopters usually can’t fly that high.

Ren He specifically asked whether there was a helicopter capable of flying up to Mount Everest. The instructor confidently replied that there wasn’t one.

This was quite a surprise to Ren He. In his past life, there had been a daredevil who flew there unladen and nearly scared a bunch of people to death...

Ren He got changed into his equipment, shouldered his parachute pack, and put on his goggles. From the moment he boarded the plane, Erbao and the others could not accompany him any further.

The plane slowly ascended into the sky, getting ever closer to the altitude of 4600 meters!

Time to get off the high-speed train; I just finished writing two Chapters... Need to rush home to sleep, exhausted...
