Chapter 590: 584, Incorporate pilots, strike at the sky (Third update)_1

In Liu Erbao’s eyes, the scene before him was the greatest feat in the world.

Knight told the world with his actions that nothing was impossible, and everything was possible.

In 1974, the Frenchman Philippe Petit constructed a thin wire between the rooftops of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and then walked across it as if he were strolling through the clouds.

That moment was etched into history.

It seemed that it was also from that time that a group of people who had forgotten life and death began challenging everything for their dreams and art.

Back then, Western countries were praised as the birthplace of extreme sports, as if extreme sports from other places didn’t matter at all.

But now, a young Chinese man known as Knight emerged boldly, challenging one human limit after another, and erecting one monument after another that no one could surpass.

"Do you know," Liu Erbao said to the person beside him, "in this field, he is a god!"

How many people dare to free-fall from an altitude of 3,800 meters into a sinkhole before opening their parachute? Too crazy... Too crazy!

Before, everyone thought it didn’t matter if the parachute didn’t fall into the sinkhole after opening, but now they understood what Ren He really wanted to do, renting a helicopter and choosing the sinkhole, all for this moment!

There was no need to check the watch anymore; in fact, the moment Ren He like a meteor smashed into the top of the sinkhole, he knew he had reached the time for free-fall, so he decisively opened his parachute without any hesitation.

The speed was too fast, the time spent accelerating in the sky too long, and this time the counterforce from opening the parachute was unprecedentedly strong, but... Ren He felt it was still within his tolerance!

The main canopy swiftly floated upwards into the sky, while Ren He continued to fall, making it seem for a moment as if he might hit the ground before the parachute could open.

No problem with the main canopy, it opened! Ren He’s descent slowed!

"Awesome!"

"Holy shit! That’s so awesome!"

Liu Erbao and the others were cheering at the bottom of the sinkhole, too excited to utter any more elaborate words; their minds were filled with these most primal expressions.

The moment the parachute opened signified that the challenge had succeeded!

Liu Erbao and the others wanted to cry with excitement, their emotions were from the extreme edges of life, like climbing back to the summit after falling into a deep valley in life.

Yes, Knight had never let anyone down. When Knight engaged in extreme sports, everyone else just had to choose to believe in him.

The pilot above had already maneuvered the helicopter to circle downward, he and An Si had witnessed the other opening the main canopy after free-falling into the sinkhole.

"That’s insane," the pilot had a sort of frenzy in his eyes. He suddenly turned his head to An Si, "He is..."

A slight doubt lingered in the pilot’s mind, as if he had never expected to witness all this himself. He wanted to shout the name but hesitated.

An Si and Liu Erbao were people who rarely appeared on television, especially An Si, who had almost zero screen time. Even if he was on camera, it was mostly related to TK business, and who would pay attention to that.

It was An Si who had been in touch with the airline company. Liu Erbao had driven directly to the mountains that morning, so the pilot had no way of knowing these people’s identities.

But the scene just now was somewhat familiar to him, not that someone had done the same thing, but... he had felt such shock and emotion from a young man named Knight before!

"Yes," said An Si, even though the other party didn’t say the name, An Si knew who he was referring to.

Yeah, who else could it be but Knight? This is unique courage and willpower!

Ren He was controlling his descent with the parachute cords, but just then he suddenly spotted Yang Xi, who had been missing for two days, right in the crowd beneath the sinkhole. She was actually here to surprise him...

She had said she was going to play on the river, but she went behind his back and contacted Liu Erbao without making a sound!

Yang Xi looked up at him with a bright face. She had come all the way to Chongqing to be with him in his race with death. It would have been such a regret if she hadn’t been there today.

Initially, Yang Xi had planned to try skydiving with Ren He. However, after seeing how thrilling it was when Ren He did it, she decided she might as well go back to the hotel and play Dota!

After Ren He landed, he unfastened his parachute pack, "Was the shoot smooth?"

"It went exceptionally well, especially the moment of entering the pit, it was beautiful!" Liu Erbao came over with a happy grin to give Ren He a hug. He had taken a quick peek at the main camera footage earlier and unexpectedly found that despite Ren He’s high speed as he entered the pit, there was no distortion in his movements.

If his expression had been too fierce during the descent, Liu Erbao would have had to resort to using long shots only, as they wouldn’t look nice up close.

But on Ren He’s face, there was only calmness and determination.

The helicopter descended amidst its roaring engines and stopped above the mouth of the sinkhole, and the crew began packing up the equipment. The Divine Punishment System arrived as promised, "Host has completed the task; evaluation rating: perfect. A directed reward may be chosen!"

This was another perfect reward in Ren He’s possession since his return from the Netherlands. With this at hand, he felt a bit more at ease.

When it came time for dinner in the evening, everyone chose the most famous hotpot restaurant in Chongqing, but they still opted for a private room, considering Yang Xi was there. Eating in the main dining area would be too dangerous.

Yang Xi was inherently low-key, and because she was so, fans would always be overly excited when they caught sight of her, which resulted in even more enthusiasm than when they met other idols.

An Si was late as usual, and when he finally arrived at the private room, a young man was trailing behind him. An Si said helplessly, "This is today’s pilot, who insisted on meeting Knight, claiming to be a die-hard fan."

The pilot had worn a helmet on the plane, so Ren He had no idea the man was so young—he looked to be just over 20!

"My name is Yan Xiaoxu, 24 years old. I want to join Knight’s team. I... I can fly planes! I have a commercial pilot’s license for helicopters, transport planes, commercial airliners, jet aircraft—you name it!" Yan Xiaoxu said excitedly.

Ren He was taken aback. Here was someone wanting to join the Knight’s team, but he didn’t really have any formal team; they were all just brought together by shared interests.

However... it seemed reasonable for Qinghe Group to now consider purchasing a few decent planes, right? He remembered that in his previous life, a Boeing 747 cost around 150 million US Dollars. He didn’t need something that expensive, but arranging for aviation companies and pilots for every extreme sport event was always troublesome, and he wasn’t sure of their skill levels.

This Yan Xiaoxu, the pilot, truly had impressive skills. They had been fortunate with his piloting today...

"What are your salary expectations?" asked Ren He.

"500,000... 300,000 is also okay! I’m really skilled!" Yan Xiaoxu said a bit nervously. Although he knew Knight’s endorsement fee must be high, was the man willing to pay Xiaoxu that much each year? He didn’t even know the identity of the person in front of him besides being Knight.

The average annual salary for pilots was between 200,000 to 330,000, with captains earning over 400,000. The amount he asked for was a bit high for his age, but it was completely justified by his skills.

"500,000 it is!" Ren He smiled, "Come to Luo City tomorrow and handle the employment procedures at Qinghe Group. My name is Ren He, also known as Knight."

Yan Xiaoxu suddenly found the name Ren He to sound familiar, and when he thought of the words ’Qinghe Group,’ he froze. Knight was the big boss of Qinghe Group? Holy shit, I sold myself short!

An enhanced update as a reward!
