Chapter 441 Carnival Night at Pioneer Square
The four people still performed in the same order as before. From the bursts of laughter or exclamations at the scene, we can see the reason why it is so attractive.
In the end, it was Pete who passed the most levels, but he was eliminated at the ninth level.
As for Liang Hanchen, who was least favored, he slipped and fell into the water during the eighth level. In that level, he had to hang on a horizontal bar several meters high, hold the horizontal bar in his hand and insert it into the next groove of nearly two meters.
His height of over 1.6 meters restricted his performance. It was a congenital deficiency, and his defeat at this level was inevitable.
On the contrary, it was James who accidentally failed when he crossed the giant roller in the sixth level. Before that, he had high hopes.
As for Brand, he fell into the water at the third level because the soles of his feet were stained with water when he took the previous step, which caused him to slip when he took the next step through the glass wall.
Despite this, the passers in this issue have broken several records, especially Pete, who directly increased the number of levels cleared by two levels.
When Liu Qingshan passed the test, the crowd's exclamations never stopped, and his actions made everyone dumbfounded.
From stepping sideways across a huge roller to jumping over a ladder tens of meters high in the air, from running wildly on a glass wall as smooth as a mirror to several consecutive 360-degree somersaults over bubble traps, gradually escalating landings, tumbling, and cat-style balancing.
, precise jumps, etc., all of which are amazing.
Especially when climbing a ladder tens of meters high, he climbed as nimbly as an ape, completely ignoring the unobstructed towering sky. The whole process looked like running water.
What is even more frightening is that the way he descends is different from the others who climb down one by one. Instead, he grabs the ladder with both hands and falls in the air.
Each drop is five or six squares in size, and the movements are so fast that you can’t even blink. It’s very similar to what Jin Xishan said about jumping from the balcony on the sixth floor.
The most important thing is that he did not have any protective equipment tied to his body at that time. This alone is the limit of difficulty that no one in the world dares to try.
The last level is a huge half-U-shaped wooden runway, with a deeply concave bottom floor without any space for running.
Even if there is a smooth vertical wall about five meters high, and there is a sufficient flat runway for a run-up, it is extremely difficult to run up in one go, not to mention that there is no conditions for a run-up.
At this height, if Liu Qingshan relied on the buoyancy of his true energy, he would be able to leap up. However, he did not use any true energy to assist him and climbed up by relying on the virtual point of his toes.
When he rang the bell to clear all the levels, fireworks were actually set off at the scene. Obviously, the program team had predicted that he could complete all the levels and had prepared a way to celebrate in advance.
That's not all, after the fireworks bloomed all over the sky, the Space Needle, a thousand meters away, rang the bell in time that only rang once every New Year.
It is different from the twenty-four New Year bells, but the twelve bells are ringing for the first time.
After a very short period of stunned expressions in the audience, someone immediately reacted first, shouting and tapping the numbers along with the sound of the bell.
And there were more and more responses, until almost everyone was shouting at the top of their throats, and the bell fell into silence again after people called out the twelfth number.
Then still

Just like the joy of welcoming the New Year's bell, tens of thousands of people shouted the slogan "alien" loudly, and the sound was uniform and shook the world.
The live broadcast lens very sensitively captured the nearby high-rise buildings. Where the lights were shining, more and more windows were opened one after another. There were figures leaning out of the windows, reveling in response to the shouts in the square.
.
This scene was faithfully recorded and circulated for a long time. A few years later, a wave of celebrations actually formed. Even the room prices of street-facing rooms in high-rise hotels along the street with a similar scene were so hot that they reached a terrifying figure, higher than Liu's.
Tickets for Qingshan's concert are even higher.
This is because whenever a similar scene occurs, the live broadcast will show a few close-ups of the open windows, and the people who can appear in the shot at that moment will, without exception, become the headlines in the newspapers the next day.
Edition exclusive interviews with people.
With this special situation, people are gradually calling him the luckiest person in the world. It is understandable that he will be fired at sky-high prices in the future.
Moreover, the city of Seattle and the crowd-pleased scene that took place tonight will be mentioned again and again whenever such a scene occurs, and everyone who has been there in person will always talk about it.
However, these are things that will happen in the next few years and will not be mentioned at this time.
That night, many people stayed to continue the carnival in Pioneer Square. Liu Qingshan and his party left quietly without knowing what happened next.
But early the next morning, more fans gathered downstairs in the hotel where they were staying, and even the nearby police station set up a temporary security team there.
Seeing all this through the ninth-floor window, Liu Qingshan himself was still confused, but Fang Qingyu had already knocked on the door with a large stack of newspapers.
Originally, this task was handled by Shi Hui and Park Xuanji, but it was taken over by the diligent Fang Qingyu in Seattle.
Because she didn't need to drive around in the early morning to collect, she could rely on the embassy's relationship to be accommodating, and the postman would deliver various newspapers to the hotel lobby one after another.
Most of these publications introduced Liu Qingshan's arrival and what happened in last night's issue of "Millions of Miracles" on their front pages.
Putting aside the eulogies, Liu Qingshan's focus was put aside on what happened after they left Pioneer Square.
In the previous dozen episodes, those checkpoint facilities would be dismantled in time before the show ended that night.
But last night was different, because another set of competition settings and new rules would be used in the next period, and the game equipment that was supposed to be disassembled that night was kept overnight due to the strong demand of the onlookers.
Moreover, the temporary decision made by the TV station overnight was completely motivated by a sudden inspiration, because such a huge prop design still needs to be protected by various safety measures.
It doesn't matter if the employees at the TV station are unwilling to work overtime. It's easy to recruit hourly workers on site. You only need to leave a few old employees who are willing to earn overtime pay to provide guidance, which can completely guarantee the personal safety of those participating in the game.
They set the price very low, and there are only age and physical limitations for those who are brave enough to try. They plan to only earn back their current investment, which is enough.
Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm at the scene exceeded everyone's expectations. It was even crowded until four o'clock in the morning. There were many people who wanted to try the difficulty of passing the level for themselves. Moreover, due to the low price, there was a queue waiting outside the first level.
It has not shrunk and has filled up one side of the square.
Check out nearby businesses

It was a quasi-business opportunity, even though carts of drinks, snacks and beer were brought in. As a result, Pioneer Square was brightly lit and full of laughter last night.
Those merchants who participated also made a lot of money, and everyone was happy.
What was even more valued by the TV station was that people's strong interest that night reminded them that it would be necessary to hold an open day like this before the night when the competition items need to be changed in the future.
The impact of such a move can no longer be described simply by money. The entire Seattle will become famous because of this pioneering activity.
What’s more important is people’s enthusiasm. Perhaps the stranded crowd last night wanted to try out the curious experience that Liu Qingshan once ran on the track. But the difficulty is too high, and very few people can pass the first level.
few.
If the difficulty is lowered in the future and combined with a comprehensive publicity campaign, more and more people who have tried the fun of clearing the level will definitely continue their interest in active participation.
After being held several times in a row, this kind of event will gradually become a regular open day with distinctive characteristics, or another new festival.
The result will not only bring great reputation to the TV station, but even Seattle as a whole, and win the support of countless local people.
Of course, they also made precise calculations and knew that last night's unexpected income had a huge relationship with Liu Qingshan himself.
After all, this man's influence has spread all over the world. What's more important is that he created a series of miracles on these tracks last night, and his talent for extreme sports that ordinary humans cannot achieve is bound to last forever.
Stay in the video material.
The TV station even considered relocating all the facilities from last night so that when people in the future think of breaking through human limits, they would first think of going to that track to try it for themselves.
However, this issue still needs comprehensive statistics from all aspects, so we can leave it to be discussed slowly in the future.
Various coincidences, coupled with the reluctance of tens of thousands of people in the square to leave, inadvertently led to a magical city-wide carnival night last night.
The word "citywide" is not an exaggeration, because after the show ended last night, more and more people came out of their homes and hotels and flocked to Pioneer Square, which was still crowded.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who visited the square overnight reached a terrifying 500,000. You must know that there are only more than 3 million people in Seattle. Even though 500,000 miles away, there are many foreign tourists or fans from far away.
, this number has exceeded three times that of the New Year's fireworks display.
After seeing the hastily drawn conclusions in the newspaper, Liu Qingshan burst out laughing: "Their assumptions are certainly correct, but if there are no influential stars in the show, people's curiosity will fade sooner or later, and it will inevitably become an anticlimactic show.
A tasteless carnival night!”
Fang Qingyu deeply agreed: "I studied business management, and I understand the marketing methods and public psychology better. The consequences you mentioned are clear at a glance! However, it is not without its operability. If the program team is willing to spend a lot of money from time to time,
If you invite a few idol-level people to show your face, it can last at least three or two years!"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "The problem is that once this project is really launched, the TV station will not be willing to invest large sums of money, because at that time the so-called carnival night has become a festival sequence of the municipal government, and they will think that the bulk of the money should come from the city.
Come on! With the back and forth, it’s impossible to find a perfect solution!”
