Chapter 148 Doubts and the Desire to Climb [Third Update!]

The video that previously questioned Li Younan's performance has gone viral.

As all this happened, Li Younan had already officially reached the Zimei Pass.

From this angle, you can see the south side of Mount Gongga, where the majestic snow-capped mountains almost connect heaven and earth.

Such magnificent scenery, in some ways, is even more spectacular than Mount Everest.

Mount Everest is undoubtedly the highest peak, but when you view it, the altitude of your position is not low either. Looking at an 8,000-meter peak from an altitude of 5,000 meters is visually more breathtaking than looking at a 7,000-meter peak from an altitude of 3,000 meters.

So far, Li Younan hasn't found it too difficult, so he decided to keep going up.

Before setting off, he carefully checked his equipment one last time.

Of course, there is no specific plan to climb to a certain extent, and if he judges that there is danger along the way, he will choose to retreat immediately.

April is a great time to climb Mount Gongga.

After checking his equipment and resting for a while, he prepared to continue his journey.

What Li Younan didn't know was that the girl who couldn't contact him at all was silently worrying all by herself.

JK Long, or Liu Li.

To be honest, she was somewhat surprised that the online public opinion was escalating.

Such news usually fades away quickly, but right now it's gaining traction.

The incident began when a video creator named Xu Yusheng posted a video questioning whether Li Younan's trip to Gongga Mountain was a publicity stunt.

That guy has posted several videos questioning Li Younan before. He plays the game of exposing the big and popular streamers on the internet for putting on a show. Whoever is popular, he looks for their flaws.

He actually exposed several show-off streamers before.

Li Younan's videos, however, didn't get much attention because he never responded to them. But for some reason, this time, although Li Younan didn't respond, his video still garnered a significant amount of traffic online.

On Li Younan's homepage, there is a video showing his preparations before departure.

About three days have passed since then.

Most people are busy making a living and only have time to watch videos in their spare time.

While watching the spectacle, people are naturally more concerned about a glamorous person whose empire suddenly collapses and their public image crumbles overnight.

Many people who are paying attention to this matter may not have known Li Younan before; they are focused on keywords such as "millions of fans" and "showboating."

Because of Xu Yusheng's analysis, he had a certain momentum and appeared very confident.

The vast majority of people lack the ability to distinguish right from wrong and prefer to listen to opinion leaders.

Let's take another look at the videos that Xu Yusheng posted before, which questioned Li Younan.

Although a considerable number of die-hard fans of Li Younan argued their case in the comments section, their voices were insignificant amidst the vast amount of irrelevant traffic.

Moreover, Xu Yusheng also controls online comments.

Therefore, over the past few days, most people's speculations about Li Younan have been negative.

But this small hot topic has also brought about changes in other aspects.

People who are interested in this matter will naturally search for information and knowledge about mountaineering.

Mountaineering, regardless of the historical period, has always been a very niche sport, yet it carries immense prestige. After all, from childhood to adulthood, news of mountaineers reaching the summit constantly appears in textbooks and exams.

While searching for related information, many people gradually learned about the difficulty of climbing Mount Gongga.

Because the traffic associated with mountain climbing is inherently small, the occurrence of such a high-profile event naturally attracts bloggers who want to amplify the influence of mountain climbing.

However, most mountaineering bloggers do not comment on whether Li Younan will actually climb Mount Gongga, but simply provide objective information about Mount Gongga.

Most information is not easy to remember, but there is a little-known fact that is surprising and instantly memorable.

That means there are only a dozen or so successful ascents of Mount Gongga, with a mere thirty-odd people reaching the summit. In contrast, Mount Everest has over 12000 successful ascents. Furthermore, the mortality rate for climbing Mount Gongga is significantly higher than that of Mount Everest, which is only 2.8%.

The data is too difficult to remember, so everyone just remembers the key point: the difficulty of climbing Mount Gongga is far greater than that of Mount Everest.

After such a popular science explanation, people naturally believed that Xu Yusheng's words were true and credible. After all, Li Younan did not have a mountaineering persona before, and it was simply absurd for him to suddenly challenge a mountain that was even more difficult than Mount Everest.

Although Li Younan never said he wanted to try to climb Mount Gongga, Xu Yusheng's deliberate guidance completely swayed Li Younan's motives.

As the saying goes, scandals are often more dramatic and appealing than positive reviews. Li Younan's impending downfall will certainly create a ripple in the ocean of internet traffic, providing plenty of entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

The current trend of public opinion on the internet is making Liu Li very anxious.

Even if Li Younan restores communication now and sends over the video of his time travel, it probably won't be able to reverse this trend of public opinion.

This guy named Xu Yusheng has led many uninformed passersby to believe that Li Younan is using the pretense of challenging Mount Gongga to gain attention.

She asked her brother to hire an online troll army to stir up trouble, but Liu Yu calmly analyzed the situation and refused.

Liu Yu said it would be best to wait until Li Younan returned from Gongga Mountain and the situation became clearer before doing this.

……

At this moment, Li Younan was completely unaware of all of this.

Right now, he was walking along the predetermined route without a care in the world, getting closer and closer to Mount Gongga.

In fact, Li Younan's mountaineering skills at this point, when fully equipped, were already impeccable.

Upgrading his skills further would simply allow him to reach the top more easily with less equipment.

Li Younan gradually realized this during the mountain climbing process.

Having acquired this skill, he also possesses a very strange ability, similar to... the sixth sense!
To be precise, it is the brain's subconscious judgment of the environment.

If he feels safe, it means that his brain has subconsciously made a judgment based on factors such as wind direction, climate, sunlight, and the shape of snow-capped mountains. The same principle applies to danger.

The weather is very good today.

Upon arriving at the campsite at the foot of the mountain, a thought popped into Li Younan's head that startled even himself.

Climbing this snow-capped mountain doesn't seem so difficult after all...

He hadn't originally planned to go any further, but then he thought, "Since I'm already here..."

At the moment, there was no danger, so Li Younan thought for a moment and decided to continue walking towards the camp ahead for a while.

A moment later, after crossing a small hill, they suddenly saw several figures in the campsite...
