A flash of liking white, do not imitate the danger

"Awesome!"

"My attributes popped again!" Chen Jue smiled knowingly as he looked at the system prompt.

Initially, he only wanted to film a vlog to warm up his fans and appease their appetite for some digital leisure.

Never did he expect to complete another athletic challenge that broke his limits, which turned out to be quite a delightful and unexpected surprise.

He went over to pack up the tripod, returned to his room, and reviewed the footage he had just recorded.

Although it was shot at night, with streetlamps serving as the background light source, the footage of the streetlamp flag-raising and suspension pull-ups turned out remarkably clear.

Besides, since it was a daily vlog, there was no need for special effects or background music; its main selling point was absolute authenticity.

After trimming away the redundant footage at the beginning and the end, keeping only the most visually appealing middle section, Chen Jue titled the vlog "Going downstairs for a quick workout because I couldn't sleep at night" and uploaded it across various platforms.

As for overseas platforms, since their update schedule lagged behind the domestic version by a few episodes, there was no rush to upload there. He simply sent the original video to the Qianhe work group and let the operations team handle it themselves.

...

At a night market food stall somewhere in Hangzhou, the newly formed members of the Qianhe team were enjoying a Friday after-work gathering to boost team rapport, clinking glasses and chatting about work.

Suddenly, a phone buzzed with a "ding," abruptly shattering the lively atmosphere.

"Xiao Wu, we agreed to put our phones on silent! Why are you bringing work into after-hours again?"

"A penalty drink! A penalty drink! Quick, have one on the house!"

"Right, you gotta drink!" His colleagues began to jeer.

"Huh? The boss just posted a new vlog. Are you guys sure you don't want to watch?"

The bespectacled young man known as Xiao Wu was the video editor in charge of the stunt master's work group. Seeing everyone getting rowdy, he quickly opened the new message in the WeChat group and showed it to them.

"Holy cow! The stunt master boss has been lurking for so many days, and now he finally drops a huge project?"

"Quick! Let me check out the new video!"

"Waiting for updates is so hard!"

Hearing this, everyone instantly perged up, hurriedly putting down their wine glasses and crowding around Xiao Wu to take a look.

The beginning with the human flag was fine; everyone at this table worked in the influencer industry and had seen plenty of performances by fitness bloggers and gymnastics athletes.

However, when the stunt master in the video started ascending the streetlamp pole, the small round table at the food stall simultaneously erupted in unison gasps of intake and profanities.

By the time he performed the suspension pull-ups at the very end, everyone was completely dumbfounded by the content of the video!

Was this ******* something a normal human being could accomplish?

Just watching Chen Jue climb that 20-meter-tall streetlamp pole made everyone's scalp tingle and their bladders feel full, let alone hanging mid-air to do pull-ups followed by a front lever!

Once they finished watching the entire 5-minute video, the group of people who had been shouting profanities collectively formed a line to head to the restroom and unleash a torrent.

There was no help for it; it was just too ******* thrilling!

Coupled with the fact that alcohol suppresses the hypothalamus from secreting antidiuretic hormone (ADH), being stimulated by this vlog made everyone's urge to urinate even stronger.

As for Xiao Wu, the editor in charge of post-production, his mind felt somewhat muddled after watching the video.

Because he felt that his career experience, including all the working experience he had accumulated over the past few years, had received an overwhelming and massive shock.

After scrubbing back and forth through the video and zooming in to compare, confirming that the original footage was completely free of post-production special effects, Xiao Wu finally let out an exclamation of "Awesome!" before typing a reply on the screen: "Boss, this vlog of yours feels like it could practically serve as a brand new stunt video (*facepalm*). It doesn't even need a single cut from my end (*bows*)."

Stunt Master: "Daily vlogs don't need editing; I've already uploaded them to several domestic platforms. By the way, tomorrow's new stunt video will require a high-speed camera to shoot slow motion. Be at this location around 10 AM tomorrow to meet up (location pin). Sorry to trouble you with working overtime tomorrow @Cameraman Xi Guancheng."

"Then I'll head to the company a bit earlier tomorrow to grab the equipment (received)." The cameraman, currently pulling up his pants in the restroom, hurriedly replied.

For people working in the influencer circle, time is money, and the concept of weekends simply does not exist in this industry.

Many filming crews even show up on-site in the middle of the night.

Chen Jue had been lurking for a whole week, only showing up for location shoots precisely on Saturday mornings, which was already considered very relaxed for this newly formed small team.

...

However, just as Chen Jue was discussing tomorrow's work plan in the Qianhe group, the stunt master's 6 million-plus followers across the entire internet were shaken awake by this sudden nighttime update.

Clicking on the new vlog video, everyone cried out "freak" while simultaneously leaving comments below:

"Against the heavens! You call this just casually moving around? As expected, the stunt master has started using clickbait titles."

"My bladder feels a bit tight after watching this. There's no heating in the south, the weather is too cold, and I don't want to get out of bed. What should I do? Online waiting for a good idea, very urgent (shivering)."

"To the person above, just wet the bed and draw a map; close your eyes and the night will pass (Husky sticking out tongue.JPG)."

"Using a streetlamp as a pull-up bar for training? This is a scenario I never imagined (*facepalm*)."

"The stunt master's skill is high and his courage is bold; even filming a daily vlog is this thrilling (*evil smirk*)."

"The platform issued a warning: saying the video contains dangerous actions, please do not imitate (*laughs through tears*)."

"The problem is even if we wanted to imitate, we can't (*joy*)! I can only say thank you to Douyin for thinking so highly of me (Shiba Inu.JPG)."

"As someone working in road administration facilities, let me remind everyone: the kind of streetlamp the stunt master climbed is called a high-mast streetlamp in the industry, and the minimum height starts at 20 meters! Our master workers have to wear safety harnesses and take a lift up just to install and inspect them (*mind blown*)."

"If you gave the stunt master a pole that was tall enough, could he climb right out of the atmosphere (tactical lean back)?"

"Success means the whole village eats; failure means the whole village eats (*eating melon*). White funeral in an instant (dog head)."

"I clicked in without looking at the uploader's name; I originally wanted to say it's not without reason that foreigners have small populations (*slaps forehead*). Oh! Realized I walked into the wrong set; it turns out to be a daily post by the stunt master, so it's just basic operations, nothing to see here (*laughs through tears*)."

"I'm a gymnastics athlete, and I just sent this video to my coach saying I want to learn this. Guess what happened? The coach gave me a backhanded slap and muttered: he's not even useless (*bows in submission*)."

As for Bilibili and other video platforms with bullet-comment features, various dense barrage comments appeared, such as "High-energy warning ahead," "Raising the flag and playing music," "6666," and "Heaven-defying explosion."

Even many street workout masters and influencers followed the trend, checking in and paying homage in the comment section.

Because in the eyes of ordinary people, what Chen Jue was practicing were no longer street workout moves; he was simply lingering on the verge of courting death—a proper, heaven-defying stunt!

Even the sponsor of the world-famous Red Bull daredevil team silently left an advertising slogan in the comments: "Your energy is beyond your imagination," attempting to ride the wave of hype, only to be fished out by sharp-eyed netizens and pinned straight to the top of the comment section.

"Red Bull: Your death omen is even more beyond your energy! (*joy*)"

"Red Bull big stage, come if you have the life (dog head)."

"Red Bull: I provide the money, you provide the life (glow stick)."

"@Red Bull, hurry up and settle the ad fee (*laughing so hard I'm pissing*)."

Chen Jue smiled knowingly after seeing the netizens' comments. Now that his fan base had grown, the comment section was getting a bit too overwhelming to keep up with.

However, seeing that most people were cheering him on, Chen Jue was in a great mood.

After all, with the support of these fans, his side-hustle income would only increase more and more.

It just so happened that he had just bought a house today, and next Monday he still needed to go sign a renovation contract with Jiang Zhe. The thirty million in savings he had just accumulated was instantly hollowed out completely.

If he wanted another massive windfall like a signing bonus, he would have to rely on smashing gold bricks next time or pulling off some other fancy stunt.

"Don't fill your head with pulling off big things! Just steadily update your daily content."

"Once the fan count doubles again, the monthly traffic revenue alone will be incredible." Chen Jue secretly admonished himself in his heart, telling himself to learn from and emulate the enduring Ancestor Qiu.

He couldn't just look at immediate benefits; he also had to care about steady and sustainable growth.

Just like in financial investment, short-term retail investors holding the mindset of speculative hype will always be leeks; only those playing the long game with compound interest are the ultimate winners.

...

After uploading the vlog video and chatting a bit more with the Qianhe team, Chen Jue had a comfortable sleep.

After waking up and heading to the rooftop, Chen Jue leafed through the martial arts manual obtained from his cheap master and tried out the eye exercise technique inside regarding the [Nine Suns Eye Refining].

This was a set of exercises paired with the [Dantian Power], and Chen Jue quickly grasped the underlying principles.

Aside from learning the matching exhalation and respiration, hand massage techniques, and regular eye rotation, he also had to channel the [Dantian Power] up to his head, concentrating the so-called Qi, blood, and intent into the eye socket region.

According to the Dantian power-channeling theory he previously learned from Daoist Shi Zheng, the human body has bones everywhere, and the bones around the eye sockets in the head can similarly emit that wondrous kind of power. Using [Dantian Power] to stimulate them, and then using circulated blood to accelerate nutrient delivery to nourish and strengthen the function of the eyeballs—this was the true secret and core of this Nine Suns Eye Refining technique.

Since Chen Jue hadn't completely mastered this [Dantian Power] yet, he had to first learn the secondary parts within it. While standing on the balcony practicing qigong in a horse stance, he combined it with the eye health massage techniques he had previously mastered to rub his eyeballs.

By the time his eye sockets turned red and his eyeballs grew slightly warm from the rubbing, when he looked at the rising sun on the city skyline, Chen Jue actually felt a strange sensation in both eyes.

Because he found that viewing things in the distance had become much clearer than usual, and even the flag at Jiangda University looked much sharper than before.

Even the system panel popped up with a new prompt after he practiced for a while:
