A great many people are in pursuit of being the second to complete [Creatures of Water].

However, William felt his surfing skills were average and he well knew that each extreme sport requires a huge amount of time and effort to reach the “Master” level, so he didn’t insist on surfing.

He chose to climb the Tree of Life instead.

He had already attempted the same challenge last week.

Regrettably, he had failed.

In his effort to break through the defense line of the Native Na’vi People, he mobilized his fans and the [Hell Paratroopers] to form a formidable army and engage in a head-on battle, which allowed him ample tree-climbing time.

Climbing trees was easy for William.

The trunk of the Tree of Life is incredibly huge, making its ordinarily minute bark texture broad and sturdy, thus easy to climb.

But at the 200-meter mark, William faced a sudden attack.

Not from tree-dwelling birds, but—Bird poop!

Just as he had climbed to this height and was looking up to assess his route, a large blob of solid and liquid mixture suddenly fell from the sky, landing on his shoulder.

Thanks to the professional aptitude he had acquired from years of rock climbing, William did not freak out or raise his hand to block the sudden attack but instead focused on firmly securing his grip, preventing himself from being knocked off.

But the next moment, he nearly passed out from the smell!

Upon realizing what had hit him, he even contemplated suicide by jumping off the tree!

Relying on his stamina built up over long years, William resisted the urge to kill himself and gritted his teeth to continue climbing.

However, this time, he spent more time looking upwards and in choosing his route, tried his best to select areas that provided space to dodge.

But soon, he encountered something that left him unsure whether to laugh or cry:This kind of attack didn’t seem to be a fixed challenge set by “Lincoln is not a human” for the players.

Because after that, he climbed a full 100 meters more but didn’t encounter a second “biological weapon” falling from the sky.

The initial “bombing” he underwent seemed to be just…

Plain bad luck.

Or perhaps it could be considered good luck.

Because he smelled so bad that after he reached the 500-meter mark, the aggressive Yikaran Flying Dragon that came flying in to attack immediately diverted their path as soon as they came within 10 meters of him.

Not a single one of them wanted to get close to him.

Thanks to this unexpected protection, he was able to climb up to 800 meters.

At this height, the types of birds started to increase, and a lot of creatures resembling hawks started to appear, throwing various sizes of stones and branches at him, severely disturbing him.

At 1000 meters, the birds started ignoring the stink on him and launched suicide attacks on him one after another.

This was where William was beaten.

Exhilarating base jumping from a kilometer up high, without a parachute.

Actually, he had prepared a parachute, but since he didn’t want to bear the stink and transporting supplies was troublesome, he simply didn’t use it.

And before he had found a method to deal with the birds, he decided to temporarily halt his attempt to climb the Tree of Life.

——Actually, William had a suspicion about how to deal with the birds.

How does that saying go?

“If you see a gun in the first act of a play, it will definitely be used in the third act”.

William thought: the bird poop bomb that fell from the sky, and the subsequent behavior of the Yikaran Flying Dragon deliberately avoiding him, might both be hints.

They hint at a method to avoid being attacked by various birds on the tree.

But William wasn’t too keen on contemplating this line of thought…

He much preferred to believe: Cloud Dream would offer multiple solutions to a single problem.

And as a matter of fact, he was right.

Different solutions indeed existed.

[Eva’s Favour] was one such effective solution.

And this time, William wouldn’t be the only one attempting to climb the tree.

[Flag of Savior] organized the second event today — peaceful diplomacy with the Na’vi.

Thanks to diplomatic means, the Na’vi let down their defense of the Tree of Life.

Aside from players of too low reputation, the rest were free to climb the Tree of Life.

From morning till noon alone, over 800,000 people attempted to climb it.

But the number of successful ones: 0William’s fans had watched his live stream of climbing the tree and just felt that the first 500 meters were a breeze, as if strolling on flat ground.

They started experiencing slight difficulties at 800 meters.

But not much.

Given that they no longer have to fear bird attacks, the level of difficulty seemed to have dropped again.

So, it should be easy-peasy.

Everyone was full of confidence.

The first 100 meters, they just had to climb up the thick aerial roots, anyone could do it as long as they didn’t slip.

This further boosted their confidence.

The next 100 meters, half of the people fell from the steep aerial roots.

An additional 100 meters later, when changing from aerial roots to tree bark, most of the remaining people fell as well.

Standing in the newly-established respawn square, the fans were questioning their life decisions.

They watched William’s live stream, how could it seem so easy??

Turner, who had joined in the fun, had a face full of misery.

Just when he had climbed up to about 240 meters, a large rear end suddenly descended from the sky and sat on his face…

Not far in front of him to the left, a black man who looked to weigh at least 300 pounds was standing, a puzzled look on his face as he picked at his rear.

Turner noticed this man.

Then he squatted down clutching his face in pain.
