The golden light of Golden Wind and the red of Tiansi Bull intertwined and blossomed, forming a brilliant ribbon across the sky.

The crowd below erupted in excited shouts!

“There! There! I see it!”

“Oh my god, the speed is incredible!”

“The big screen shows the speed—152 kilometers per hour! Oh my!”

“And the heart rate is only 130! My god!”

“No wonder he’s a professional athlete; if it were me, I’d probably be scared to death by now.”

“Actually, most people wouldn’t even attempt such a crazy challenge…”

“The route seems a bit off…”

“Can he really make it…?”

For a moment, everyone held their breath tightly!

It was madness.

Brilliant colored smoke wove dazzling patterns in the air.

This death-defying extreme stunt thrilled every spectator present!

Not only the unprepared crowd watching live—

Even Xu Zhixing, who knew about the challenge in advance, and Gu Sheng, who personally planned the event, couldn’t help but sweat nervously in their palms!

After all, what day was it today?

New Year's Day.

The beginning of the year, a fresh start, the very first day.

Although it might sound superstitious, both individuals and companies wished for everything to go smoothly on this first day, hoping it would be a sign of favorable weather and happiness throughout the year.

In fact, Golden Bull had already achieved this with the recent soapbox car challenge.

The silly yet abstract soapbox challenge livestream instantly attracted numerous viewers.

Moreover, whether it was Golden Wind’s game industry gala or Tiansi Bull’s corporate union,

the Golden Bull Challenge had already gained initial success.

Thousands gathered on-site, over a million watched on Twitch, and Shark livestream platform’s viewership soared past 200 million.

Cheers and laughter filled the air, with the two brands’ logos taking turns appearing, repeatedly deepening the audience’s impression.

Most importantly, the name “Golden Bull Challenge” was firmly established, laying the foundation for future extreme challenges.

For both Golden Wind and Tiansi Bull,

this impact alone justified the $16 million investment.

But!

Gu Sheng’s ambition seemed far from satisfied.

Amidst all the joyful laughter, he arranged for a plane to take a fearless warrior to conquer the skyline.

No doubt!

This was a crazy move, a do-or-die decision!

After all,

If Aik Garcia failed!

All previous joy and laughter would instantly vanish!

The once happy atmosphere would be shattered, future events indefinitely postponed, and the entire $16 million investment would not bring positive effects, but rather inflict a huge blow to both brands’ reputations!

Sponsoring death—

Obviously, no company wanted to bear that label.

However!

If successful…

At this thought, Gu Sheng’s brow twitched, a fanatical gleam flashing in his eyes.

Even he could hardly imagine the terrifying reputation boost this event would bring if it succeeded!

Because at this moment!

This unprecedented challenge was attracting viewers from 233 countries and regions worldwide flooding into the livestream!

My god… Golden Bull actually dared to sponsor such an event…

God bless his success.

If it works, won’t Golden Bull sponsor even more competitions and events?

That would be courting death!

My friend told me this was a comedy event? This… doesn’t look funny at all; my palms are sweating…

Oh my god, the speed seems to be increasing…

Just watching it feels suffocating…

“Wait? This isn’t game footage? It’s really not game footage?!”

“Oh my god! No freaking way!”

…….

More and more viewers tuned in!

This event, co-sponsored by a game company and a beverage manufacturer, was exploding in influence, breaking out beyond its usual circle!

After all, who could resist watching a life-or-death “No-Parachute Descent” stunt?

Woohoo!!!

Meanwhile,

In the sky, Aik Garcia was approaching the low-altitude airspace!

Piercing through the misty clouds, Aik wore windproof goggles, his face nearly frozen by the biting wind.

Around him, two parachuting instructors and a skydiving cameraman gradually distanced themselves.

To avoid entanglement during parachute deployment and to prevent airflow disturbance affecting Aik,

the three accompanying staff controlled their bodies to keep as far away from Aik as possible.

Once the distance was confirmed sufficient, with a whoosh!

All three opened their parachutes, massive bull logos appearing on the canopy, slowly descending amid the global audience’s gaze.

Aik, meanwhile, shot forward like an arrow released from a bow, trailing a dazzling golden streak at his feet!

“Seven hundred meters! 187 kilometers per hour!”

Host Joe’s voice trembled with excitement!

“Final ten seconds of free fall!”

“The pinnacle of world extreme sports!”

“An unprecedented insane challenge!”

“A battle against death itself!”

“Aik Garcia—”

At this moment,

Everyone watching, both on-site and online, suddenly fell into a breathless silence.

The little girl holding a lollipop had it licked by her dog…

The chubby boy’s burger’s pickles slipped off…

The female office worker waiting for her coffee forgot to pull out her cup…

The man sitting on the toilet tightly gripped the toilet paper…

In the vast sky, Aik Garcia looked like a tiny flying insect, dragging a golden smoke trail, drifting through the air.

As the camera switched,

The aerial footage from a distant drone was projected onto the big screen.

There, like a meteor, Aik Garcia roared toward the giant net at an astonishing 190 kilometers per hour.

At this moment!

The mysterious pattern on the big net was finally fully revealed to everyone!

On the strikingly dense and high-strength black net, a bright orange-and-white circular logo stood out prominently!

In the center of the logo, a symbol resembling two hands clapping was prominently displayed within the inner ring.

Below, nine capital letters formed two words—

OVER WATCH

Then, the next moment!

In front of more than two million viewers worldwide!

A golden smoke trail stretched across the sky!

Perfectly aimed, it pierced right into the giant net filled with the OVERWATCH logo!

Boom!!!

The entire scene exploded!

On the Baltic Sea, the huge net imprinted with the OVERWATCH logo caved in. Aik Garcia ripped off his helmet and sobbed holding his head!

A medical helicopter circled him, like a salute of triumph!

Seventh Avenue erupted in cheers, instantly turning into a sea of wild screams!

Along with the host’s voice breaking from excitement—

“I hereby announce!”

“Aik Garcia’s 7,620-meter high-altitude no-parachute descent!”

“Challenge!”

“Success!!!”

!!!

With Joe’s announcement, the venue erupted in jubilation, whistles and screams nonstop!

A challenge surpassing oneself and the limits, enough to drive people wild with excitement,

On this first day of the new year, marking this unprecedented, ingenious challenge with a dazzling diamond-like exclamation mark!

Crazy!

Everyone was crazy!

The fever of Seventh Avenue spread to the livestream, making the global audience cheer wildly!

Soon,

Today’s absolute star, the history-making Aik Garcia, was invited to the event venue.

From 7,620 meters in the sky to now, safely back on the ground without a scratch.

“…Do you have any thoughts you want to share with us?”

Joe handed the microphone to Aik Garcia.

“Of course! Of course!”

It was obvious Aik was still too excited to calm down; breathing fast and thrilled, his emerald green eyes shone with indescribable excitement:

“First, I sincerely thank Golden Bull for sponsoring this challenge. Before this, investors often ran away as soon as I started explaining my idea…”

At this, laughter broke out in the crowd.

Aik Garcia continued:

“I also want to thank Octane. Actually, I’m a fan of his. His stunning challenges in Peak Kingdom inspired me to take on this challenge.”

As he spoke, Aik raised his hand, forming cat ears atop his head:

“Salute to SuperCat. I think I wouldn’t have completed this without his encouragement and passionate attitude toward life.”

“The touching human spirit will surely continue.”

“At the same time, I hope each of us can remain optimistic in life and become steadfast challengers in our lives…”

Buzz buzz—

The interview was fiery.

Almost every sentence from Aik Garcia won warm applause from the audience.

His vibrant passion and life-defying attitude moved and electrified everyone.

Afterward, Xu Zhiyuan gave a speech, and Gu Sheng delivered the final summary and remarks.

Gu Sheng’s speech needed no mention.

He was a master of persuasion.

Now, the two best contestants—Octane and Aik Garcia—were also inspired and captivated by his charisma, participating in this joyous, passionate grand event.

Unsurprisingly, his speech earned rounds of applause.

However!

All of this!

In Shen Miaomiao’s ears, it was just buzzing noise.

Because at this moment, her gaze was fixed on the giant screen at the venue.

There, the helicopter-captured footage kept streaming in.

The huge OVERWATCH logo kept appearing as a secondary screen image, repeatedly teasing people’s nerves from the most eye-catching spot on the site.

What logo was this?

What did OVERWATCH mean?

Shen Miaomiao clearly heard the crowd around her endlessly discussing this huge logo.

Even the foreign onlookers were curious and talking about this emblem.

No need to think twice.

At this moment, the chat barrage was filled with:

“New game! New game, brothers! Damn! Golden Wind’s new game!”

“Awesome! Revealing it this way is freaking cool!”

“So what kind of game is this? Another extreme sports game?”

“Maybe? Because it was revealed during Aik Garcia’s challenge.”

“No way, Sam almost never releases two similar games back to back.”

“Could it be a horror game?”

“I guess it’s a shooter.”

“Damn! FPS? GW’s shooter game! I’m buying it for sure!”

“The logo alone doesn’t tell anything!”

“Ahhhhh, this is killing me.”

I’ve searched through Little Yellow’s Twitter and Weibo; no news about OW at all.

“Keep looking!”

Any trailer or concept art, even a sketch would be fine.

So hungry, so hungry for OW news, I’m dying here (crawling in despair…).

What the hell is this?

I just want to play… OW… OW addiction kicking in.

What is it really… ahhhhh…

…..

The audience guessed.

The audience went wild.

The audience exploded with discussion!

Shen Miaomiao was uneasy.

Shen Miaomiao was terrified.

Shen Miaomiao was on pins and needles!

Disaster! Disaster!

Her eyes trembled as she stared at the OVERWATCH logo on the big screen, then looked with a complicated and grim expression toward Gu Sheng, who had just finished his speech and announced that Golden Bull would continue this challenge and focus on more extreme sports events in the future!

Amid deafening screams and cheers, Gu Sheng handed the microphone back to host Joe, then smiled slightly at her!

Gah!

Shen Miaomiao nearly fainted.

Gu Sheng was definitely not one to shoot blanks.

Since he arranged such an exaggerated logo display that would cause a global sensation during this event,

it meant he would never just release one logo!

Brother… please don’t…

Shen Miaomiao pursed her lips, her eyes revealing a hopeless yet expectant look she barely believed herself.

They hadn’t even bought land yet.

With over 200 million global viewers witnessing, just releasing a logo already brought great promotional effect.

We could’ve stopped there…

However,

Before she could think further, suddenly, Joe took the microphone and said:

“I believe many viewers, like me, while marveling at Aik Garcia’s courage and cheering for him,”

“also feel a strong curiosity and interest in this huge net that caught the hero,”

“OVER—WATCH!”

“What exactly is it? What does it represent?”

At these words!

The entire venue gasped!

The livestream audience didn’t decrease but increased!

Everyone was fully focused!

The next second, Joe gestured toward the big screen:

“Now, let’s have Winston tell us!!!”
