Chen Xing is no stranger to hot searches. He has been on the list more than once in China, but he has never gotten the first place. The closest he got was the second place. This was caused by the cooperation of the domestic tourism industry.
, unfortunately lost to a traffic star,
It's a bit of a pity.
Chen Xing only dared to curse in his heart because he was afraid of being scolded if he spoke out.
And it seems like he values this thing very much.
This regret was actually made up for in Iceland. Just put up a sky lantern and it became a hot search?
Then tomorrow I will buy a kite or fly it there. Is it okay to consider the first, third and fifth hot searches?
Forget it, this is too worthless.
Chen Jiaqian said: "I see that many people on the Internet are saying that they want to buy Kongming lanterns from Auntie. Haha, now it's good. You have attracted a lot of business for Auntie and the others. Next time you go there, maybe you can get a free meal."
A hot pot meal."
"It's an accident. By the way, where are you?"
"Me? We are watching some children's performances here in the Old Port. They are very cute. Do you want to come and play with us?"
"Forget it!"
Chen Xing immediately refused.
Some elderly or married people may prefer children. It is really difficult to like people like Chen Xing who are around 20 years old. He feels that he might as well stay here and watch the parade, at least every person walking on the street
He finds it very refreshing to everyone who has passed by it.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xing looked around again.
Still no one pays attention to me. It is obvious that I have not done anything to disguise myself, not even wearing the mask that is indispensable in China.
This hot search is just like that.
Continuing to watch the parade, some private organizations or individuals were passing by at this time. Although some ghost masks looked scary, the figures under the sheets or CO clothes were protruding forward and backward, which was very attractive.
If there really are such monsters in reality, then it wouldn’t be a big problem to encounter them once or twice?
Chen Xing was a little tired from standing, so he slowly moved to lean against the wall behind him. While playing with his mobile phone and chatting with his friends, he looked at the parade in front of which almost no one was passing by. This should be considered the end, and he might also watch later.
Nothing new.
Some people around also joined in at this time, pulling banners that they wanted to express. Some of these banners expressed love, while others denounced the company boss.
Anyway, these people are wearing masks and clothes that they don’t usually wear, and they don’t worry about being spotted.
As the saying goes, putting on a mask means taking off the mask?
A cup filled with beer suddenly stretched out from the side. It must have been poured recently. The hops were still pouring out vigorously, and the aroma of malt was very strong.
"Chen?"
He called Chen Xing's name with uncertainty, but with these words, Chen Xing probably knew that he was looking for him. He took the beer first and said, "Hello, Chen Xing, who are you?" "An ordinary Icelander." He said with a smile.
Then he clinked a glass of beer with Chen Xing and drank half a glass of beer in one go.
He is about the same height as Chen Xing, about 1.8 meters tall. He is very strong, and his winter clothes cannot block his muscles. He also has a very free and easy temperament. This kind of person says that he is just an ordinary person.
The stars won’t believe it.
But there doesn’t seem to be any malicious intent.
Chen Xing also drank half a glass of beer directly. If it was just beer, Chen Xing's current alcohol capacity is quite acceptable. Give him some time to digest and he can drink for a long time.
"Refreshing!"
Seeing that Chen Xing could drink so much, he happily patted Chen Xing on the shoulder and introduced himself.
Eros Einzbern.
Occupation is ice hockey player.
Chen Xing had heard of the sport of ice hockey before, but had never seen it before. Not to mention China, even ice hockey in France is a very niche sport. In the world, the only people who like this type of ice sports the most are
These Nordic countries.
Eros saw Chen Xing on the Internet, and he was deeply impressed by Chen Xing.
I saw it on the news yesterday and on the hot search this afternoon. It’s hard not to remember.
The excitement outside gradually dissipated, and Chen Xing, who had time, also took advantage of Eros's invitation to enter a bar. After drinking two beers, he left the bar and walked two steps into another bar.
This kind of bar-hopping is as familiar as girls visiting a clothing store, and it can be regarded as the most unique scenery in Reykjavik.
The atmosphere of a Nordic bar is very good. As mentioned before, the bar is equivalent to the most important social point for Nordic people. People who get to know each other in a bar are like classmates, and the bar is like a class, and they are like each other.
Very familiar.
And there is no charge to enter these bars. So tourists can go into multiple bars in Reykjavik in one night, experience the different 'class' cultures in these bars, and find the one that suits you best.
A place.
There are so many bars here and there will always be someone who understands you.
Even with the ultimate social fear, Chen Xing kept changing bars and found a place where there were a lot of people, but no one talked at all. Everyone just drank, read, and played with their mobile phones. It was the same place as a teahouse and cafe. p>
………………
After a few days of this kind of life, when December was about to enter, Chen Xing boarded a bus to Brundios to watch Al Orlando's bicycle race.
This is a small town located in the northwest of Iceland. It usually provides various infrastructure services for tourists traveling along the Ring Road No. 1. The town has a population of only more than 800 people, so it is not a very eye-catching city. But this is the place where more than 2,000 tourists stay every November.
Of course it’s for the annual Iceland Dark Night Snow Hell Endurance Race.
Western names always like the more words, the more elements there are. The competition in Iceland includes conditions such as darkness, snow, and endurance racing, plus the word "hell" representing difficulty. You can imagine how difficult this competition is. p>
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Riders have to start from a snow-capped mountain with an altitude of 3,000 meters and ride all the way down. The final destination is in this small town with an altitude of more than 400 meters.
If you don’t have any strength, let alone get a ranking, anyone who can run the entire race is considered a master.
Chen Xing and Ai met at a restaurant in town.
The competition starts tomorrow, but Ai, who has been here for many days, is already fully equipped and looks like a racing driver, except that he is not wearing a helmet.
Chen Xing saw him immediately when he walked into this restaurant.
"Why are you dressed like this? Did you go out for training today?"
"No, runners have been prohibited from going up to survey the route since yesterday, so that there will be a thick enough layer of snow tomorrow."
Chen Xing had no idea about bicycle racing. This was his first time watching it, so he asked: "Why is there snow? Isn't this snow swept away during the race?"
"Sweep it away?"
Ai looked at Chen Xing and said: "Now I know you are a real novice. Of course, the snow was left on purpose to allow the racers to find the most suitable route in the snow.
How can I sweep it away for you?"
"Oh...that's it."
Chen Xing also smiled.
"Anyway, you can just watch my performance tomorrow. I can't tell you the winner. There should be no problem with the top three. I heard that there will be official reporters to interview and it will also be broadcast on the news network. As my only cheerleader, maybe
You can also show your face."
Ai Orlando is not an unknown person in the circle of cyclists. There will definitely be fans of his in the audience this year, but it doesn't matter to him. Anyway, the only friend who really supports him is Chen Xing.
alone.
"Forget it, I've already shown my face."
Chen Xing was a little speechless and told Ai the story of his time in Iceland.
Ai has been training these days. He really didn’t know that Chen Xing came to Iceland and had such a wonderful life for a few days. He visited a lol game and was in the news, and this damn thing was on the hot search. This is too coincidental.
Well, the news in Iceland is so good?
Why do you suddenly have no expectations for winning the prize?
After returning to the rented hotel, Ai Cai patted his face to cheer himself up and said, "Go ahead, Orlando! You didn't come to the competition just to participate in the news broadcast. What does it have to do with you whether the news is good or not?"
Have a good ride!"
The next day.
Today, a finish line was built outside the town of Brundios. Chen Xing went there early in the morning and saw someone installing a laser on the door frame of the finish line to detect who was coming after the same group of people rushing into the finish line. There are also several large screens that will broadcast live broadcasts.
Most of the tourists were watching the race near the finish line. A few people followed the tour guide very early and went to other safe locations on the route to wait. Although they could not see the athletes crossing the line, they could watch those athletes who had a harder time passing.
Take your own video somewhere.
Today's game will be broadcast live.
The live broadcast footage comes from three sources: one is the two helicopters found by the competition organizing committee, the other is the cameras placed at various points in advance, and the third is the sports cameras on the helmets of the players. Everyone has this camera. When the time comes, they will find some exciting pictures and put them on the TV screen at the finish line.
There were more than 700 riders participating in the competition. Chen Xing found Ai's name on this flyer. The starting position was quite good. According to Ai himself, judging from his starting position, as long as the route was correct, then
You can crush it all the way and win the game in first place.
However, there are too many variables in a snow race in the dark.
The finish line was brightly lit, and with the countdown of three to two in the loudspeaker, the contestants set off like an arrow.
The first shot uses a helicopter perspective. The helicopter flies very high, because flying too low will affect the riders' competition. Cycling racing is not as tough as rally racing, even if the plane flies back and forth at a height of more than ten meters, it will not
There will be no impact, but the impact on bicycles will be great.
So the plane flew relatively high, and at one time more than a hundred people appeared in the camera.
Many arrows fall down as soon as they take a few steps. However, it doesn’t matter if you fall once or twice in an endurance race. You can get a good ranking if you resume the game earlier, so you can see it on the screen.
See those riders who fell but immediately stood up and rode again.
Chen Xing looked for Ai among this group of people.
I didn’t see it, I should have run ahead.
Ai's position is in the front two rows. There are no people in front of him at the start, so he can rush faster. Without falling down, he has now entered the first big downhill section.
Chen Xing watched the performance of these players on several monitors.
There wasn't much introduction to the players during the live broadcast, but there was a commentator who was very good. He seemed to know every driver, and he couldn't pronounce the names at all. Chen Xing couldn't tell who Ai was on these TVs.
But after listening to the commentary, I learned that Ai is now seventh.
Chen Xing searched for it on TV again, but finally gave up.
Don’t look for it anymore, just look around.
If you can still see some whitening of the sky in the afternoon in Reykjavik, you can't see it at all in Brundios.
And immediately returned to the night.
Chen Xing didn't see their previous training, but watched this match directly, and immediately discovered that the difficulty of this hell match was visibly high.
The closer you get to the North Pole, the more profound the impact of the polar night will be.
The light in front of the bicycle does not allow these riders to observe much of the environment. They can only focus on the route they have found and keep running. The stars still look very bright, but they really cannot see too much.
No wonder it’s called a hell game, it’s really hell.
There are already a lot of ruts in the snow. For those riders at the back, following the route taken by the rider in front undoubtedly proves that the route is correct. Under normal circumstances, there will be no fall, but there is a hidden danger in this.<
/p>
That is, the snow that has been pressed is slipperier.
Whether to find a new route yourself or follow the path of others is also a choice.
Anyway, at this time, at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, hundreds of people are constantly experiencing the process of falling, but then getting up and immediately supporting the car to run forward, or immediately sitting on it and driving forward. It is dangerous.
It's not very dangerous, but it looks really painful.
"Won't their car crash?" Chen Xing heard someone next to him say this.
This must be my first time watching it, and I don’t understand anything.
Seeing that he was also alone, Chen Xing said, "You came alone?"
"Yeah, I heard there is a bicycle competition here so I came over to have a look. I live nearby."
"Okay, I happen to know the question you just mentioned. One of these players is my friend. His bicycle frame alone costs more than 3,000 euros. The other accessories together are enough to buy a new car. This kind of
A level of wrestling shouldn’t be a big problem.”
To be honest, Chen Xing was shocked before he learned about it.
The frame of a bicycle alone costs several thousand euros, which is simply a waste for someone like him who thinks that buying a whole bicycle for five hundred yuan is expensive.
The race for the riders soon reached the gravel road section. When it reached an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, there was not much snow. Gravel roads and mountain paths gradually became more numerous. At this time, there were fewer people wrestling. However, there were disadvantages.
It's also obvious...the road is too narrow and it's difficult to overtake.
Chen Xing couldn't tell where his friend was, so he could only look for him on a TV with real-time rankings.
