Liu Yu's words made everyone's faces change significantly.
Death!
This term is not unfamiliar to survivalists.
In wilderness survival, every year there are participants who die due to various accidents.
However, this probability is very low.
At this point, Liu Yu continued: "Not to ntion the distant past, but just last ti during the Eight Extres Challenge, there were fatalities on the association's side."
"At that ti, Vice President Mr. Yang and a participant surnad Tang both t with accidents, one buried at sea, and the other in the desert. Our death rate was twenty percent, which was the lowest among the groups."
"Last ti, the highest death rate was probably among the participants from India. I rember only one person survived in the end; among the others, five were lost in Antarctica and the remaining four were defeated in the Sahara, with a death rate of ninety percent there."
These words made everyone's faces look even grimr.
However, Chen Wen was flipping through the previous data, looking at the situations of Mr. Yang and the participant Tang.
A mont later, Chen Wen's pupils contracted.
Mr. Yang was surviving the Ocean Extres, naly the Pacific Ocean.
He was on a bamboo raft in the open sea when he was attacked by a group of sharks.
Although a helicopter rushed to rescue him in the shortest possible ti, less than thirty seconds after the attack, he was completely torn apart by the shark group.
The rescuers only brought back so body fragnts.
The participant Tang faced a drone malfunction during the Sahara challenge.
No one outside knew what was happening with him there, but three days later, he made a satellite phone call requesting ergency help.
However, when the rescue team arrived.
The participant Tang had already died of dehydration and poisoning in the desert, with the yellow sand having buried most of his body.
Indeed dangerous!
Chen Wen took a deep breath, having participated in survival challenges up until now.
This was the first ti he had encountered a survival challenge with such a high mortality rate.
At this ti, Liu Yu continued from the high ground: "One minute, I'll give you one minute to think. Within this minute, if you choose to withdraw, you just need to sign a confidentiality agreent, and you can completely avoid such a dangerous survival situation."
Hearing this, many people had flickering eyes.
They did not know the danger level of this challenge was surprisingly high.
Thus, within the minute after Liu Yu finished speaking.
Seventeen people chose to withdraw one after another.
After they headed towards the place to sign the confidentiality agreent under the guidance of the staff.
Liu Yu curved his mouth into a smile, and said to everyone: "Very good, from now on, don't talk to about quitting again."
"Next, let's start looking at the data, you can discuss with each other, or ask those who have participated before. Our association currently has six mbers who have participated in the Eight Extres Challenge, five of whom are present, let's have them introduce themselves to you."
Below the stage, Vice President Feng Zhong, Vice President Zhao, and three other middle-aged mbers, who looked to be in their forties, stood up.
Feng Zhong was the first to speak: "I have participated in three challenges, and passed two, specifically the Beast Extres Serengeti and Heat Extres Sahara, the failed one was the Forest Extres Western Siberia."
Zhao followed by saying: "I'm a bit better than Feng, having participated in six challenges, passing four, naly the Mountain Extres, Forest Extres, Beast Extres, and Heat Extres."
The other three were mostly similar to Feng Zhong, with three out of two, but the challenges they passed were different.
Chen Wen realized that this Eight Extres Challenge does not seem to limit the number of participations, nor does it have a fixed order.
Sure enough, he found the rules in the data.
As long as recomnded by the association, any participant can join.
Besides the seed participants, each participant has only one chance for each challenge during an Eight Extres Challenge.
Seed participants get two chances.
Once the qualifications are used up, one can only wait for the next Eight Extres Challenge to start competing again.
Chen Wen roughly looked over, the Eight Extres Challenge lasts for four years each ti.
During these four years, you can use your challenge chances freely to complete all eight challenges.
Statistics are compiled after four years.
To see how many each person passed, and accumulate for the next challenge start.
After the five experienced stood up to speak, Liu Yu signaled for everyone to look at the data and discuss.
He then left the conference hall with the president.
On Chen Wen's side, after looking at the data for a while, he couldn't help but prod Hua Yun in front of him who was reading the data: "Hey Hua, did you notice? It seems this thing doesn't ntion what benefits completing the Eight Extres Challenge brings? Is it just a title?"
Hearing this, Hua Yun rolled his eyes.
Hua?
Am I old?
Clearing his throat, Hua Yun turned around and said: "I don't really know the specifics either..."
Just as the two were starting to talk, Vice President Zhao walked over with a smile.
He casually sat down beside Chen Wen and said: "Of course, there are benefits, more than you can imagine."
"Let talk about it from three aspects: wealth, honor, and status."
"Wealth is the simplest. When we participate in challenges, many rich people and businessn will place bets, global exploration and survival associations act as the house, publishing odds before each challenge starts. After participating in challenges, if you complete a challenge, the association will share fifty percent of the money earned from you."
Hearing this, Chen Wen was about to say why only fifty percent?
But Zhao had already anticipated and said: "Chen, don't underestimate this fifty percent, it's bet by many of the world's top wealthy individuals! To say nothing more, just from when I passed the Mountain Extres last ti, the money I got was almost a million! And that's with extrely low odds for , if it were higher, hmpf, tens of millions are not out of the question!"
After saying that, Zhao added: "It's all US Dollars! And so with a greater gambling instinct, or those with a lot of immovable assets will also use stocks, real estate for betting, these immovable assets can also possibly be directly obtained by participants."
"Next is honor, because this challenge involves gambling and is too bloody, we haven't publicized it, it's tacitly acknowledged, so netizens who know how to bypass the firewall also know this, but it's different abroad, many countries publicly acknowledge this challenge and open low-end betting options for people to place bets. In these countries, they will award so honor to their local winners."
"Of course, if you go to these countries, and their associations and those in power made money off of you, they will also give you so honors, like 'Knight,' 'Duke,' etc."
"These may sound like empty titles, but often abroad, foreigners still buy into this, after all, they are beneficiaries, they certainly want to acknowledge it."
"Finally, there's status, it sounds similar to honor, but actually, this has quite an effect on us, because the positions of our association's president and vice president are determined by the number of Eight Extres Challenges passed."
At this, Zhao gave Hua Yun a aningful glance: "You need to complete at least two challenges this ti, or else after the four-year term end, you might lose your current position."
Hua Yun nodded, looking serious.
At this point, Chen Wen couldn't help but say: "So if I don't lack money, don't want fa, and don't want status, does participating in this thing an nothing for ?"
Hearing this, Zhao's forrly inscrutable expression suddenly changed.
He couldn't help but glare at Chen Wen: "You brat! Are you nitpicking? Who doesn't need money? Even those top-notch rich people, can they claim they don't need money then take out all their money to give to the poor?"
Chen Wen thought about it, then shook his head.
