The golden orchid, blooming in splendor, stood roughly 15 meters above the ground on a near-vertical cliff face. Its breathtaking beauty and immense rarity made it an irresistible prize, yet its location rendered it seemingly unattainable.
The audience shared mixed emotions:
"What a shame—it's too high to pick."
"So close, yet so far. Guess we just have to admire it."
"If I were him, I'd just let it be."
But Ning Fei wasn't one to back down. With a calm yet determined expression, he began removing his bag and unnecessary gear.
Netizens grew curious:
"Wait…what's he doing?"
"He's not actually going to climb, is he?"
The answer came quickly. Ning Fei approached the cliff and began climbing—with no protective gear.

The drone hovered nearby, capturing every angle of Ning Fei's daring ascent. His bare hands gripped the rocks firmly, muscles taut as he tested each hold for stability before pushing himself upward.
Viewers collectively held their breath:
"Is he serious? Freehand climbing?!"
"This man has nerves of steel!"
"I can barely climb stairs without breaking a sweat."
Ning Fei's years of experience in the mountains and his training as a climber were evident. His movements were fluid yet calculated, his body agile yet steady.
The chat exploded with activity:
"This is insane! He's climbing a 15-meter cliff with no rope!"
"This man is the real deal. Respect!"
"I'm sweating just watching this."
---
As Ning Fei climbed higher, the drone alternated between close-ups of his focused face and wide-angle shots of the cliff, with the lush forest sprawling far below. The visuals were both awe-inspiring and nerve-wracking.
More viewers joined the stream, lured by headlines of an "anchor freehand climbing a cliff." They entered the chat with disbelief:
"What's happening here?!"
"Is he really doing this for a flower?"
"Wait, someone explain—what's a golden orchid?"
Veteran viewers filled them in:
"One golden orchid is worth 150,000 yuan."
"This guy's luck is god-tier. Earlier, he found a Ganoderma worth 3 million!"
The newcomers were stunned. "This can't be real. Are we dealing with monopoly money here?"
---
Reaching about 12 meters, Ning Fei paused briefly to catch his breath. Despite the physical exertion, his movements remained precise.
"This is nothing new for me," he remarked casually to the camera. "I grew up climbing trees and rocks in the mountains. Plus, I've competed in professional rock climbing events before."
His calm demeanor reassured some, but most viewers were still on edge:
"I'm not even there, and my palms are sweaty!"
"Anchor, please don't fall—your life is worth more than a flower!"
"He makes it look so easy, but this is insane!"
Little Falcon, perched on Ning Fei's shoulder, clung tightly to his shirt, as if sensing the tension of the moment.
Finally, Ning Fei reached the cluster of golden orchids. "Now comes the tricky part: picking the flowers without losing my balance."
---
Carefully, Ning Fei balanced himself on the steep rock face. Using one hand to grip the cliff firmly, he reached for the first golden orchid with the other. Slowly and methodically, he extracted the flower, ensuring the root remained intact.
The audience was glued to their screens:
"I can't breathe. This is too intense."
"One slip, and it's over!"
"This man is a legend!"
Once the first orchid was secured, Ning Fei did something unexpected—he dropped it.
The chat erupted:
"WHAT?! He just threw it?!"
"Bro, that's 150,000 yuan falling to the ground!"
But Ning Fei knew what he was doing. "Don't worry," he reassured viewers. "The orchid is light enough that it won't be damaged from the fall. It's safer this way than trying to climb down with it."
One by one, Ning Fei carefully picked each orchid and let it drop to the ground below. The drone captured every moment, from the delicate handling of the flowers to their gentle descent.
---
With the last orchid picked, Ning Fei began his descent. Despite the difficulty, he climbed down with the same precision and ease as before.
When he finally reached the ground, viewers collectively exhaled, as if they'd been holding their breath the entire time.
The golden orchids lay safely on the forest floor, their metallic sheen gleaming in the sunlight.
The chat was ablaze with admiration:
"This man is superhuman!"
"I was terrified the whole time, but he made it look effortless."
"This is the most exciting stream I've ever watched!"
