Chapter 113: Burton: It Was Fine When We Came
Half an hour later, before the first round of competition had even finished, a rumor was spreading across all social media platforms and informal snow enthusiast groups in the snow circle:
Holy crap, a snowboarding god appeared in the multi-brand amateur skiing competition today on the big air jump...
A transcendent being.
In an instant, Shan Chong's backside triple cork 1800 melon grab became powerful evidence, with video clips spreading everywhere.
Some angles were from the stands, where you could hear the audience cheering as if it were a Jay Chou concert.
The person recording was shouting frantically, "That's amazing! That's truly amazing!"
Prompted by this video's promotion, those big shots originally scattered across other ski resorts, who couldn't be bothered to come to watch an amateur competition, floored their accelerators and rushed up the mountain.
Thousands of people swarmed Genting Snow Park, with the ticket booth staff never having seen such a scene.
The ticket seller at the neighboring mountaintop resort sighed, saying, "I've seen it before."
The last time there was such a grand scene was when Dai Duo and Shan Chong had a falling out on the advanced slope, agreeing to a parallel giant slalom showdown between park masters at the mountaintop resort, giving this ski season another memorable talking point...
Even now, people still enthusiastically discuss how Shan Chong, if he didn't do jumps, could consider putting on hard boots to do parallel giant slalom.
With a year or two of practice, he might even have a place in next year's Winter Olympics.
But let's set that aside for now.
At this moment, in Genting Snow Park's terrain park, the stands around the competition area were nearly twice as full as when the competition began. Every latecomer who looked up at the scoreboard, seeing the far-leading 92.4 points at the top, seven or eight points ahead of second place, would start with an expletive before offering a polite greeting.
Most of the spectators were still Chinese.
Wei Zhi perked up her ears, listening to everyone discussing who this sudden newcomer might be, while also chatting with her boyfriend.
[Little Chirp: The stands here are going crazy. Everyone's trying to guess who the Mountain Wood contestant is.]
[Little Chirp: Do you have some kind of show-off attribute in competitions?]
[Chong: I saw the guy before me add a mute grab. If I didn't add something, wouldn't I be losing?]
[Little Chirp: .........]
[Little Chirp: Didn't you confidently say you'd dominate earlier? Which part are you losing?]
[Chong: The aura.]
[Little Chirp: ?????]
[Chong: Back then, didn't you fall for me because of that show-off quality when you watched my videos?]
... Oh.
That's true.
As Wei Zhi was typing, someone pulled her hoodie from behind.
"Little junior sister."
A young man's voice, deep in thought, came from behind.
It was Bei Ci.
