_1 Super Tomato coughed awkwardly as he looked at the lonely name.
A second ago, he had just predicted that the [Burst of Strength] would be the first Ultimate Challenge to be finished, but the very next second, another Ultimate Challenge had been completed.
The face-slap came so quickly that it caught him off guard.
Luckily, the live-streamer community around him didn’t seem to care too much about it.
— What everyone paid more attention to was: what the heck is [Creatures of Water]?!
Everyone had just got the clue to [Burst of Strength] and was rubbing their hands together in anticipation of hunting the Death God Beast.
Suddenly, [Creatures of Water] popped up.
What did that mean?
After a moment of confusion, everyone immediately abandoned the Great Anchor beside them and opened the panel to watch another anchor’s live broadcast—
[King of the Ocean] Shawn, a contracted anchor of Cloud Dream Live Broadcast Platform, was by no means unknown.
In Shawn’s live streaming room, the viewers were making a big splash.
This excited atmosphere had begun even before the [Ultimate Challenge] was activated, because Shawn was planning a daring stunt — death surfing.

Their expedition team had already arrived at the coast and established a small base in the coastal forest — the sea was constantly making big waves, the coastline was very dangerous and not suitable for building settlements.
As for the big ship mentioned by Shawn, they had just felled a giant tree intending to process it into a keel.
However, as players, none of them liked to “work” in the game, so the work efficiency was not high.
Shawn was used to this pace and took his time.
Today, he completely ignored the ship and ran to the cliff protruding from the southeast coastline with his viewers to play death diving with everyone.
The height and the waves, nine out of ten jumps would end in death, they were playing with their adrenaline.
But every time someone survived, they would be shouted in unison by a group of people: “Awesome!”
After a bunch of people died from the jumps, Shawn looked at the increasingly high and terrifying waves in the distance and suddenly had a daring idea.
A more thrilling game than death diving, which is almost certain death —
Death surfing.
Normally, waves over 6 meters high and speeds over 80 kilometers per hour are called [Big Wave Surfing].
The current world record for big wave surfing is an amazing 26 meters, almost equivalent to jumping from a nine-story high-rise!
But now, when the waves rise in the sea, it’s almost like a whole wall of seawater shooting straight up!
Shawn estimates by eye, the height of these waves could reach a terrifying seventy to eighty meters!
With waves of this magnitude, a ship could be smashed to pieces if it fell into them, let alone a human of flesh and blood.
But since it’s a virtual world, why not go big?
As for how to get close to the big waves without a ship…
Of course, you come from the sky!
The animal companion, Yikaran Flying Dragon, was very reluctant to act as a means of transportation to carry Shawn to the top of the wave, but Shawn found a good opportunity, took a deep breath, and jumped!
His tiny body disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.
Even the view in the live broadcast room was obscured by the turbulent sea, making it unclear where he went.
Just when everyone thought he had failed and died immediately, a black dot emerged from the water between one big wave and another, climbing onto the wooden surfboard.
Then, the big wave hit!
Onlookers on the cliff immediately saw a slanting white line appear on top of the big wave.
At the forefront of that white line, a figure was surfing, sliding down at high speed while being lifted up by the big wave.
The towering white waves behind him seemed ready to swallow the daredevil.
Compared to the people on the cliff, the view from the live broadcast room is even more terrifying and exciting —
The towering white waves crashed down from above, more like an avalanche — an entire snow mountain’s worth of snow accumulating for centuries was emptied in just 4 seconds!
Behind the “avalanche”, tens of thousands of tons of blue sea water crashed down like a waterfall!
The white waves and tumbling sea water were almost touching his back, ready to roll him into this natural disaster.
Each second, everyone felt certain that Shawn was dead.
But each passing second, he continued to survive!
The dance with death brought forth the ultimate sensory stimulation.
Even through the screen, countless viewers felt their heart rates quicken, finding it hard to breathe.
Not until a dozen or so seconds later, when people were on the verge of suffocation, their breathing fast and hasty, their hearts nearly bursting, was he swallowed by a giant wave, disappearing into the overwhelming whitecaps.
The fellows at the base were already gathered at Xu Shenghan’s respawn point, their hands raised high, ready to cheer for him.
But 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds…
Time was passing by, but his figure did not appear.
Three minutes later, some of the older guys’ arms were sore, and Shenghan still had not appeared.
Half an hour later, a continuous pillar of light appeared on the coastline illuminating an exhausted, and barely beaching Shenghan.
The pure gold achievement trophy that Lincoln had shown off in the video was slowly descending within that pillar of light, landing right in front of Shenghan-
[Ultimate Challenge: Creatures of Water]
Special Effects: 1.
Underwater Breathing; 2.
Strength of the Strong; 3.
Unlocking Board Sports Equipment
Note: Among Pandora’s Eight Ultimate Challenges, you have completed one.
Congratulations, you have embarked on this journey of evolution!
Meanwhile, the eye-shaped status icon brought by smuggling – [Eva is watching you], also flashes and disappears.
But soon, another status icon appears:
Also [Eva is watching you], but the icon has turned into a tree.
Afterward, he skyrocketed to the first position in the Sky Rankings!
A massive amount of netizens rushed into the live broadcast room, shouted “awesome” with the original audiences, and simultaneously inquired about what had just happened.
Yet the protagonist of the event: Shenghan, was utterly bewildered in front of his trophy.
Ɲονցօ.сο
He merely wanted to play dead for a dramatic effect.
Even he couldn’t clarify whether his survival was due to strength or sheer luck.
But now…
Ultimate Challenge?
Waterborne Creatures?
I have completed it?
It took him a long while to come back to his senses.
And after he had, the first thing he did was to ask the audience – which had surged to over two hundred million – :
“What’s the gold price now?”
The live streaming room was suddenly filled with laughter.
But soon, everyone thought about how this guy, as the first one to complete the Ultimate Challenge, could receive a 25-kilogram pure gold trophy.
According to today’s gold price, that meant tens of millions of Daxia dollars, enough to attain financial freedom!
Having thought of this, suddenly no one was laughing…
The editorial department of “Game Base” could also no longer laugh.
They no longer worried about how late they would have to work overtime; instead, they ordered takeout food, prepared to work overnight.
All of the world’s media and self-media were amazedly watching, swearing their way through overtime as they ate.
As for Shenghan himself, he did not care if people said that all he cared about was money.
He sat down on the spot to check the price of gold.
He even suddenly developed a fervent desire for the [Wish] that he initially did not dare to covet too much!
After all, he had already obtained an eighth of the Wish fragments.
There were only seven steps left to realize his wish.
However, there was still one more step before Shenghan could get this pure gold trophy:
Wait for this trophy to be made.
Lincoln thought that this preposterous challenge would take a long time to be completed so he wasn’t in a hurry to produce the trophy.
He handed out the task but did not push for it.
According to the predetermined time, these trophies would be delivered to Cloud Dream by Friday.
Right now, it’s still only in its embryonic stage!
