Life could be so unpredictable.
When there were no drones around, Xiong Chang wanted to tear Chen Yeliang into pieces.
Now that a drone had appeared, he was the last person on Earth to want him dead.
“Hey! You!”
Xiong Chang extended half his body outwards. He hated that his arms were not long enough and could just barely brush past Chen Yeliang’s fingertips as he fell.
Qiu Pengpai rushed forward and held onto Xiong Chang’s waist, saving him from falling. He said angrily, “This rascal isn’t your father, why are you trying to save him!”
Xiong Chang turned around and gave him a slap so hard he saw stars.
He pointed at the drone in the air and shouted, “I am your father! Number 18 is dead. Do you think you can escape?”
Qiu Pengpai’s gaze followed Xiong Chang’s outstretched finger. He felt his blood turn cold!
The two of them hurriedly leaned out to see where Chen Yeliang had fallen.
As Chen Yeliang was plunging rapidly, Feiyun Live Streaming’s channel went silent.
The barrage of comments evaporated as if someone had pressed the pause button. Notifications of new viewers popped up continuously, but no one posted any comment.
The viewers watching the video now were either shielding their eyes or covering their mouths!
They simply could not bear to see such a beautiful life end just like that, and due to homicide no less!
Moreover, Metropolis Building 1 was located in the commercial district, which had the highest density of pedestrians and cars.
If Chen Yeliang went crashing down like that, the impact could possibly crush an armored vehicle.
They wondered which unlucky person would become his scapegoat and become the most innocent victim of this murder.
When they thought of this, the viewers felt awful.
By some perverse coincidence, the drone seemed to come with situational awareness ability. As fast as Chen Yeliang was falling, it was keeping pace with him.
This was undeniably a death live stream! The viewers wanted so badly to watch but dared not!
Chen Yeliang listened to the sound of the wind whooshing past his ears. The sensation of weightlessness tugged on his heart and his whole chest felt empty. He stared at the two rapidly diminishing heads above him.
In the midst of everyone’s shock, Chen Yeliang reached for the steel cables behind his back and his expression promptly changed!
He recited in his heart, “Divine Grasping Hand! Divine Motor Skills!”
In an instant, Chen Yeliang felt a surge of power like a volcanic eruption!
He moved quickly and grabbed the very slim window gap on the outside of the building.
However, the downward force of the fall was too great. Before Chen Yeliang could hold on securely, the metal window frame, unable to withstand his weight, was twisted out of shape with two deep indentations.
Even after smashing through three to four floors, Chen Yeliang did not stop plunging.
The viewers watching the live stream realized that he was trying to save himself. They knew that it was futile, but they could not help but cheer for Chen Yeliang!
“A real man! Bro, you can do it! You can definitely do it!”
“Boohoo, before he fell down, he was still thinking about the votes. I will vote for him immediately!”
“Bro, don’t give up. All of us support you! Survive and create a miracle!”
“Let there be a miracle!”
However, Chen Yeliang wasn’t expecting the fragile window frame to miraculously break his fall. Thanks to every damaged floor, though he did not stop falling, his falling speed was slowed down!
Chen Yeliang was calm and composed. He took out the buckle behind his back and flung it into one of the rooms!
Crash!
Following the loud crash, the buckle that Chen Yeliang flung latched firmly onto a metal bookshelf in the building!
The hefty bookshelf, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, was pulled towards the bed. In the midst of unbearable screeching and grinding noises, Chen Yeliang finally stopped falling!
Even after surviving this cataclysmic plunge, Chen Yeliang did not forget to toss the other buckle across to form a stable triangle.
He then sat suspended in the air, swaying in the wind as if he was on a swing.
Chen Yeliang wiped off the sweat on his forehead and stared at the intact commercial street below him. He patted his chest and said,
“That was close. Luckily, I saw this bookshelf.”
With that, he turned to the drone’s camera and waved. His smile was like the sunshine in March, warm and gentle.
This smile was like a drop of water falling into a pot of boiling oil. It startled the viewers so much that they felt as if they lost a part of their souls.
“He did it, he did it! Number 18 Chen Yeliang, I will always remember your name!”
“You scared me the heck out of me! Is this really not a movie stunt?”
“My legs are weak. Someone help me up. I want to go to the venue to take a look!”
“I’m moved to tears, what about you guys!”
Suspended in mid-air, Chen Yeliang did not forget to canvass for votes for himself.
“Dear viewers and friends, if you found that exciting, don’t forget to cast your precious vote.”
The viewers erupted in awe. “Thrilling! Absolutely thrilling! It’s way beyond thrilling!”
Midway in a 500-meter tall building as Chen Yeliang sat suspended, the wind carried the distant sound of police sirens to his ears.
Chen Yeliang looked up and saw that the two men who alternately tried to kill and save him moments before had already disappeared.
Right at this moment, the system’s voice rang out in his ears.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission and getting first place in the Skyscraper Parkour Competition.]
[Obtained system reward: 1. Date of death delayed by one week.]

[Here’s hoping the Host will work harder and wishing the Host a long life in advance!]
“Hmmph!” Chen Yeliang heaved a long sigh of relief. He had finally managed to save his life.
However, he was number 18, and there was still a number 19 who had not competed. Surely the competition couldn’t have ended?
He unzipped his pocket and took out his phone to check the voting page.
So it wasn’t because the competition had ended, but because Chen Yeliang’s votes had left everyone else in the dust!
Among the other contestants the highest number of votes received was only 8,269, while he alone had 560,000 votes!
Even if all the other 19 contestants’ votes were added up, the combined figure was not even a fraction of his votes. The disparity was unbelievable.
Unless Number 19 grew wings and flew around Earth twice, there was no way he could surpass his own results.
Based on this statistical probability, the system had adjudged the competition concluded and Chen Yeliang was the first place winner!
“I see.” Chen Yeliang laughed. Indeed, the online platform was the right choice.
Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Chen Yeliang picked it up and saw that it was an unknown number. He hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
“Hello, may I know if this is Mr. Chen Yeliang?” A gentle female voice could be heard over the phone.
“That’s me. May I ask who you are?”
“Good day, Mr. Chen Yeliang. The Ferrari luxury sports car you bought in our showroom has been delivered to the entrance of Metropolis Building 1. Will you be coming down to sign for it now?” The woman asked respectfully.
Chen Yeliang looked at his situation and said with a wry smile, “I’m sorry, it’s not convenient for me right now. Please help me park it in the carpark.”
“Sure, no problem. I will be waiting for you at parking lot number 0002 in the basement carpark.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
Chen Yeliang hung up and stared at the cell phone screen, pleasantly surprised. This system was really too fast! In just a short while, everything had been arranged!
Thinking about how he was now elevated to being a car owner, and that he was the owner of a limited edition car, Chen Yeliang was overjoyed. He had spent so much effort planning and it was not in vain.
“Student Chen, are you all right?”
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded above his head.
Chen Yeliang looked up and saw Officer Zhao looking down at him, his small eyes filled with anxiety and concern.

“Wait a minute, I’ll pull you up immediately!”
Officer Zhao called two of his colleagues over to help pull up the steel cable and haul Chen Yeliang up bit by bit.
Chen Yeliang reminded him, “Officer Zhao, don’t bother about me for now. Those two men trying to kill me have run away. You guys should go chase after them!”
Right after these words, Chen Yeliang found that he had stopped rising. He looked around in confusion and then heard Officer Zhao’s regretful voice,
“Sorry, Student Chen, those two have escaped!”
