Chapter 324: The Shock of the Rock Climbing Masters!

At the same time, Chu Chen, who was climbing on the building's curtain wall, was also about to reach the roof!

Seen from the ground, Chu Chen had already become a black dot!

After a long period of climbing, his fingers had been chafed until they were blood-red.

Some of the skin had already been sliced open by the sharp edges of the metal pressure strips, the dermis exposed to the zero-degree air; the blood in the capillaries congealed into dark red scabs on the surface of the wounds, only to be torn open again with every grasp.

Pain is the most honest body Language, but when pain exceeds a certain threshold, the brain will actively sever that neural pathway!

During the climb between the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth floors, Chu Chen was forced to perform a "one-handed lock."

After his left hand grabbed a vertical pressure strip, the pads of his middle and ring fingers slipped off the surface, leaving only his index and little fingers as two hooks latched onto the metal edge less than two centimeters wide!

In this situation, the vast majority of climbers would choose to lower their center of gravity and readjust their grip, but Chu Chen did not!

He directly transferred the weight of his left hand instantly to the upper pressure strip held by his right hand!

At the same time, his left foot stepped onto a horizontal pressure strip, fixing his body to the wall in a "counter-lock" posture!

The index and middle fingers of his right hand formed a pair of opposing Force—the middle finger pulled upward, the index finger pressed downward; the two fingers created two distinct vectors on the same fulcrum, using the isometric contraction of local muscles to complete the stabilization of his entire body!

This was a move that only professional rock climbers could understand.

On Earth in his past life, it had a professional name called "finger-pocket lock"!

It is usually used on the rock walls of karst caves, in those stone holes eroded by Water.

No one had ever thought this move could be performed on the glass curtain wall of a skyscraper!

Let alone in this world!

To them, Chu Chen's operation was nothing short of an imaginative work of art!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who could imagine that a person could climb upward with such ease on such a smooth glass curtain wall?

【Holy crap, that's brutal!】

【Truly unbelievable!】

【Too amazing!】

【How is this possible?】

【Only for the noon-time play series!】

【Would he fall to his death if he dropped?】

【You just asked a perfectly useless question!】

After a massive wave of barrage comments, the camera zoomed in again, re-focusing on Chu Chen!

At this moment, his left foot was stepping toward a horizontal pressure strip.

But because the increase in height caused the slippery condensed Water to form an extremely thin lubricating film between the two, the contact angle between the rubber of his sole and the metal surface was off by two degrees!

About three centimeters or so!

This distance is negligible on flat ground, but on a vertical glass curtain wall, a three-centimeter slip meant that all the support Force for his lower body vanished for 0.4 seconds.

During the 0.4 seconds of weightlessness, Chu Chen's body, like a tower crane with its foundation pulled out, rotated outward with his right foot as the axis, the angle between his upper and lower body rapidly closing from 180 degrees to 150, 120, and 90 degrees!

If this angle continued to shrink below 60 degrees, his chest would press against the glass curtain wall, and then gravity would begin to use its horizontal component to peel him off the wall!

Chu Chen's solution was to perform a "dynamic release" when his body angle reached 70 degrees. His right hand abandoned the vertical pressure strip it was originally gripping and sprang upward nearly 40 centimeters, reaching directly for the roof edge of the twenty-seventh floor!

That edge was a concrete structure with a rough waterproof coating on the surface, a completely different world from the smooth metal pressure strips.

The moment his four fingers hooked onto the roof edge, it was like a drowning person grabbing a ship's rail; the friction between his fingers and the rough surface was great enough to allow him to turn his entire right arm into a cable!

Immediately after, while maintaining his right-hand grip, he needed to shift his left hand from its current low position to the same horizontal level as his right, and then use both hands to pull himself up the 70-centimeter roof edge!

The technical name for this move is "cross-hand lock relay," classified as V12 level on the rock climbing difficulty scale!

This is a technical move that even world-class rock climbers might not guarantee they could complete on an indoor Bouldering wall!

But Chu Chen did it!

The release and re-grasping of his left hand were completed within the same millisecond.

He let go of the vertical pressure strip with his left hand, and for that instant, his body was maintained on the wall only by his right hand and both feet!

This was an extremely unstable three-point support.

Then his left hand traced an arc in the air, passed over his head, and grabbed directly toward the roof edge!

When both hands were hooked onto the edge, he used a standard "high-foot" move!

His right foot lifted from his side, his toe hooked onto the side of the roof edge, and he used the strength of his leg to push his body upward while both hands pressed downward, all power concentrating in the same direction at the same instant.

His chin crossed the plane of the roof edge.

Then his shoulders. Then his chest. Then his waist.

When his entire torso had completely flipped over that concrete threshold, a long-lost smile finally appeared on Chu Chen's calm and indifferent face.

When he stood on the edge of the roof, he looked completely relaxed, as if the adventure that had just occurred hadn't happened at all!

And at this moment, in the live broadcast room, the barrage could no longer be described as "exploding."

The persistence of vision for the human eye is 0.1 seconds!

That is to say, a normal person can see continuous motion at a frame update rate of ten frames per second!

But at this moment, the refresh rate of the barrage in the live broadcast room was thousands of lines per second; no one could see the content of any single comment clearly, and all everyone saw was a white, high-speed scrolling torrent of text pouring down like a Waterfall!

The brightness of this torrent even exceeded the brightness of the live broadcast screen itself within 15 seconds, with millions of "Holy crap," "Impossible," "This isn't real," and "Is he even human" superimposed at the same moment, turning the screens of countless viewers into a dazzling white light!

But beneath this white light, truly significant information slowly emerged in those submerged corners.

A user with the ID "Ailikesi" posted a barrage comment; this comment existed for less than 0.1 seconds in the torrent of thousands of comments per second before being scrolled away, but 15 people took screenshots:

"I am an IFSC registered athlete and a climber of 5.15a difficulty. I can responsibly tell you all that the 'cross-hand lock relay' that person performed in the final 70 centimeters is something no active rock climber in the world can do."

This world also has rock climbing, but their difficulty assessment is certainly not on the same level as Earth's; it is lagging far, far behind.

When Chu Chen performed those high-difficulty moves they had never even seen before, it was no wonder the rock climbing masters were astonished!
