Chapter 215: Master of Fate: Defying the Heavens Against Gravity!

Over the next few days, although Chu Chen did not appear in the live stream, the attention sparked by this challenge became increasingly widespread, sought after by countless viewers!

Even now, the number one spot on the Weibo trending list is still occupied by Chu Chen!

On TikTok, the short video of him fighting the tsunami for his life has once again created a spectacle of crazy screen-scrolling.

Especially the videos edited by the official *Simulated Crime* account; every single one has around 100 million likes!

In the comment section below the videos, one can see the latest comments being posted almost every second!

The topics are even more varied!

Some are discussing the sport of Surfing itself.

Some are discussing Chu Chen's whereabouts.

But more are discussing his next crime!

Because right now, he has already completed six challenges; as long as he completes the final two, he will have finished all of the Extreme Eight Items!

At this critical juncture, even bystanders cannot hide the excitement and thrill in their hearts, wishing Chu Chen would start the seventh challenge immediately!

To capture this wave of traffic, and also to witness it all with their own eyes, the Program Team has directly extended the competition time by seven days!

With the Program Team doing this, some contestants who were prepared to lay low until the end of the competition suddenly felt immense pressure!

Originally, they only needed three more days to get the prize money and successfully advance.

But now, they have to lay low for another seven days?

WTF!

For Chu Chen, fleeing for seven days might not be much, but for them, it is extremely agonizing!

If they are caught during this period, the previous 30 days of effort will all be in vain!

But there is nothing that can be done about it, because this clause is in the program rules themselves.

If the program cannot end due to force majeure, the competition time will be extended appropriately.

However, having said that, the reason these contestants have been able to survive until today is entirely because they borrowed Chu Chen's light!

If it weren't for Chu Chen, who attracted the attention of the entire pursuit team with his own strength, how could they have persisted until now?

They would have likely been apprehended and brought to justice long ago!

They are more aware of this point than anyone else.

Especially some contestants who relied on their own luck to grab a large sum of money at the start and have been laying low ever since; they even view Chu Chen as their savior and pray every day that he won't be caught, leaving the Program Team unable to laugh or cry!

It is quite interesting to say that a perfectly good *Simulated Crime* program has, in the end, turned into Chu Chen's personal show!?

Whether it is the Program Team, the pursuit team, or the other contestants, almost everyone is revolving around him alone!

Meanwhile, on the Expert Group's side!

Upon learning that the competition time had been extended, the several experts did not dare to be negligent, hoping to seize this final opportunity!

Because the current situation is still very favorable for them.

As long as they focus the investigation on the final two challenges, they will definitely be able to find useful clues!

But wanting to figure all this out is not an easy task.

Because the titles of these two challenges are truly too abstract, far less concrete than the previous few challenges.

Master of Fate!

Ultimate Trust!

Whose life is being mastered?

And what is the interpretation of so-called trust?

Over the past few days, the five experts have been thinking about this matter, but they have had no leads at all.

At this moment, inside the Command Room.

The titles of the first six challenges on the whiteboard have already been crossed out.

Only behind the last two challenges are there two large question marks.

In front of the conference table, the five experts are silent, seemingly deducing this matter in their hearts.

After a while, Liu Xuemin spoke first: "Lin, do you have any leads on your end?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu put down the Rubik's cube in his hand, shook his head, and said: "Not yet..."

These past few days, he has been using satellite surveillance to track Chu Chen's whereabouts, but because the search area is simply too large, coupled with the influence of the weather, progress has been very slow.

Liu Xuemin had long anticipated this point.

Hearing Lin Xu say this, he nodded, then scanned the others and said:

"Everyone, this should be our last chance. If we cannot apprehend him within 7 days this time, all our previous efforts will go down the drain, and this case will also completely become a black mark that we can never erase no matter what..."

Liu Xuemin said every word clearly.

Everyone knows what he is saying.

But right now, they really have no leads, and they don't even know where to start the investigation.

"Liu."

The next second, just as everyone was at their wit's end, Zhu Guowei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Liu Xuemin looked at him.

Immediately after, Zhu Guowei continued: "I remember before, Xiao Chen seemed to have said that all his challenges involved Force. If this situation is true, can we infer from this that his final two challenges should also follow this pattern?"

"So, what do you mean?" Liu Xuemin asked tentatively.

"I mean, can we start from here and see if there are any other extreme sports that require the participation of Force that could align with the themes of these two challenges? If we can really find one, perhaps we might discover some clues..."

After Zhu Guowei finished speaking, the expressions of the other five experts changed instantly!

The next second, Wang Ruomei took over the conversation: "This is indeed a method, but it's not that easy to check. After all, there are too many extreme sports related to 'Force', and his previous six challenges all seem to be related to Force, right?"

"That's correct, but in this world, there cannot be many extreme sports worthy of the name Master of Fate..."

As the two were speaking, Chen Zijin, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the blackboard, frowning as he browsed the Eight Challenges on it, as if he were pondering something!

Seeing him in this state, the other four experts immediately cast their gazes toward him!

"Earth Awakening, Heavenly Birth, Force Emergence, Ice Solidification, Wind Surge, Water Spirit... these six challenges are, without exception, all tributes to gravity... If we set aside the final Ultimate Trust, then the so-called Master of Fate must be anti-gravity!"

After Chen Zijin finished speaking, the experts present were all stunned, and the looks they cast at him became extremely complex!

"Anti-gravity?" Wang Ruomei asked in confusion at this moment.

Hearing this, Chen Zijin nodded with a grave expression and said, "That's right."

"What do you mean?" At this time, Zhu Guowei, who was to the side, continued to ask.

Hearing this, Chen Zijin shifted his gaze away from the writing board and then looked at him, saying:

"It's very simple: Fixed-point Parachuting, Peak Parachuting, Extreme Abyss Drifting, Peak Skiing, Canyon Flying, Tsunami Surfing... these challenges are almost all completed with the assistance of gravity! Parachuting requires gravity, drifting also requires gravity, and sports like Skiing, flying, and surfing are the same, without exception. Following this logic, the final Master of Fate must be a challenge issued against gravity... which is to say... what is known as acting against the heavens!"

After Chen Zijin finished saying this, the four experts present were all shocked!

If his reasoning was correct, then this challenge must not be an ordinary challenge!

An anti-gravity act against the heavens!

Isn't that just flying?

Besides flying, are there any other answers?

"This sounds truly a bit outrageous..."

After a while, Chen Zijin spoke again: "But I feel my reasoning should be correct! He wants to master his own life, and in doing so, complete a nirvana unprecedented and unrepeatable!"

The more Chen Zijin spoke, the more excited he became; his tone was filled with unprecedented excitement and impulse, to the extent that the tips of his hair hanging over his forehead were trembling slightly with the rise and fall of his voice!

"Then what about the final challenge? What is the so-called Ultimate Trust?" Just then, Wang Ruomei spoke up again to ask.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zijin shook his head: "I don't know, but it should also be a very crazy challenge..."

After this sentence was finished, not only the experts present, but even the viewers in the live stream were shocked, and they began to send barrage comments one after another:

【Holy crap, acting against the heavens, is that for real or fake?!】

【Seems to make some sense, brothers!】

【I just want to know now, what is this 'acting against the heavens' challenge?】

【No idea!】

【It definitely isn't an ordinary challenge!】

【This is impressive!】

【Anti-gravity? Could it really be flying? Aside from flying, I can't think of any challenge that is anti-gravity!】

【I have already started looking forward to Chu Chen's next challenge!】

【Looking forward to it +1!】
