Chapter 1216: Chapter 1105: Surely I Can’t Be Hanged for an Hour for Nothing?_1 Chapter 1216: Chapter 1105: Surely I Can’t Be Hanged for an Hour for Nothing?_1 “The voting results are out; time to hang from a tree!”
“A person without trust is unreliable, hurry up and hang from the tree!”
“Without trust, no society can function; time to mount the tree!”
“A liar has to swallow a thousand nails, go and hang from the tree!”
…
As soon as these playful spectators enter William’s live broadcast room, before they even see the [Ultimate Challenge] achievement trophy and special effects, they see a crowd of people urging the anchor to promptly hang from a tree.
At first, everyone was confused.
But after a while, the casual viewers were informed of the whole situation, and the voting results were right there in their faces.
Consequently, countless playful spectators joined the ‘hang from the tree’ bandwagon.
After all, they originally came to watch the fun, so why wouldn’t they play along if it makes the fun even bigger?
Looking at these rushing comments, William started to lose his composure—
“The vote…
wasn’t it to test which is the real [Ultimate Challenge]?”
“Now that the [Ultimate Challenge] is done, I still have to hang from a tree?”

The live-streamer community was thrilled:“Of course you have to hang!”
“Hang, hang, hang!”
“Now, it’s not about whether to take on the challenge or not, it’s a matter of trust and morality!”
“Anchor, you wouldn’t want to become a man who does not keep his word, right?”
…
Almost everyone in the comment section demanded William to hang from the tree.
—Indeed the ultimate challenge is completed, but the fun-loving people have not been satiated yet!
If he runs away now, wouldn’t the votes have been wasted?
William attempted to negotiate, “Can’t I hang in a few days?
Even just one day?”
Before, it was fine to go overboard for the sake of finding the [Ultimate Challenge].
It was Lincoln, who was setting the challenge and giving clues, who was unconventional, not him.
But now…
The challenge is complete, the number of people in the live streaming room has multiplied by more than ten times, netizens from all over the world are rushing over to watch him, and the texts of various languages in the live streaming room are scrolling like flowing water…
If he does this now, he will lose face in front of the whole world!
That’s too socially deathly!
But it’s too late to negotiate at this point.
Exactly because it will be socially mortifying, the audience won’t let him escape this!
Everyone ignored his attempts at negotiation and started posting various proverbs about honesty and integrity.
In Daxia, aphorisms, idioms, sayings, and famous quotes about trust…
An endless amount!
Looking at these exaggerated comments, William’s face began to turn green.
In the end, he could not refute the overwhelming public sentiment.
William, reluctantly, put away his trophy, logged out, and then logged back into the highest login point he left at the top of the tree canopy.
After some difficulty, he climbed to the highest point and removed several belts he had specifically tied to his body from his virtual house.
During this time, the number of people in the live streaming room had soared to a staggering 50 million!
This was a number that William could not even have dreamt of before.
But now, he wishes there was no one in his live broadcast room!
First, he gripped the top of the tree with his legs, using a belt to tie each leg to a branch, lest his strength run out and he falls.
After securing the belts, his body stiffened as he leaned back, wobbling as he hung upside down from the highest treetop of the Tree of Life.
After William had completed all the steps to hang upside down, a strong wind suddenly blew high in the sky.
The dense leaves around him was suddenly rustled, and the small branches snapped one after another.
All the obstructions were cleared away, exposing William completely under the night sky.
“?”
A question mark emerged above William’s head again.
But reporters from various major media outlets who heard the news and rushed to the scene began to excitedly screen-record and screenshot, to keep track of William, who would be the hottest topic in the news soon.
Is there a more eye-catching picture for tomorrow’s headline?
Absolutely not!
“Haha, awesome!”
“A true man keeps his word!”
“So he’s really about to hang around for nine days and nine nights?
What sort of superpower will be worth this level of difficulty?”
“Now, the pressure is all on Lincoln!”
“Lincoln: Pressure?
What’s that?”
…
The live room comments suddenly surged violently.
William tried to shift the topic by inspecting the trophy and effects of [Descent of Heaven] while hanging upside down.
—Now, this form of hanging with the aid of a belt was much easier than the legitimate “upside down” training in rock climbing.
Initially, William felt no pressure.
The achievement was similar to [Creatures of Water]:
[Descent of Heaven]
Effects:1, Stout Body;2, Heart of the Strong;3, Parachuting sports equipment unlock
Note:One of Pandora’s Eight Ultimate challenges accomplished, congratulations on embarking on this journey of sublimation!
——
Aside from [Underwater Breathing], which turned into [Stout Body] that enhances core strength, the remaining two effects are of the same series.
The live-streamer community had a good look.
Xu Shenghan had proven before: the achievements given by the Ultimate Challenge can provide significant advantages in specific scenarios.
But it wouldn’t make one invincible.
Ɲονɢᴑ.сο
For instance, Xu Shenghan only ended up wandering aimlessly in the sea with [Underwater Breathing], and the power was never used again.
If the power wasn’t used to explore underwater, its effect was only slightly better than breath-holding when surfing or swimming.
[Heart of the Strong], verdict’s still out.
But the most popular guess is that it’s an upgradable effect similar to [Eva’s Favour] and requires continuous completion of [Ultimate Challenges] for upgrades.
No one has yet completed two complete Ultimate Challenges, so no one can verify its effects.
The final sports equipment unlock wasn’t worth the mention – just an increased convenience without any change of game mechanics.
Hence, William’s effort to shift the topic wasn’t very successful…
The audience loved teasing him more.
Not only that, with viewers from various countries watching his live stream for fun, he had to handle all sorts of peculiar questions from these “international friends”.
Every second was a year in this torment.
The most absurd part was: When would this torture end?
He initially thought that for Cosplay, he only needed to hang himself to satisfy the formality.
Later he thought perhaps “nine days and nine nights” was a time hint, implying the need to hang for 9 minutes.
After 9 minutes, he pondered if it should be “9+9”, implying 18 minutes of hanging.
After 18 minutes, he started questioning life …
30 minutes later, with blood rushing to his head turning his face red, William started cursing Lincoln in his mind.
40 minutes later, he began negotiating with the live-stream community to end the ridiculous act.
50 minutes later, he began to beg for mercy.
Finally, an hour in, a change occurred: a progress prompt appeared in front of him—
[1/9]
“One over nine??” William almost got himself to a tie, “So I have to hang for 9 hours??”
Realising this horrifying fact, without wasting a second, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.
—He ended the live stream.
…
The following day, as expected, William made the headlines globally.
Unlike Xu Shenghan and Shuihua, his headline photo depicted him hanging upside down.
Even passers-by couldn’t resist clicking in for a closer look upon seeing this photo.
Friends started checking in on William, his fan group was abuzz with shares of various reports and mentions of asking William’s thoughts.
But William—
Disappeared.
This greatly disappointed everyone.
Until evening arrived, the time for live streaming, William, face covered, silently appeared in his live room and hung himself once more on the Tree of Life, without uttering a word.
He didn’t want to do it originally.
But now that his face was all gone and he had been miserably hanging around for an hour already, to give up now meant all this suffering would be for naught?!
