Online forums and microblogs where netizens gather.

Jiang Feng’s sky discussion zone.

"Seriously, the streamer just mentioned it offhand and now it’s trending? Are people really that bored nowadays?"

"What’s there to discuss? It’s just a gimmick, probably flying a kite or sitting in a plane at most."

"One of the big shots predicted it, it’s probably renting a helicopter to shoot the Nadamu Festival from above, that’s the most reasonable."

"There’s nothing exciting about helicopters!"

Initially, people were quite interested, but after a day, everyone started feeling it might be a bit dull, and the tone of the posts in the discussion zone started to change.

In the afternoon, after Jiang Feng started streaming.

The discussion zone exploded again!

"Go watch, he’s really going to the sky!! Super amazing!!!"

"Unbelievable, wow, he’s truly extraordinary!"

"Big shot!"

After seeing Jiang Feng’s actions, netizens began posting fervently.

These posts attracted even more netizens to watch.

Meanwhile, inside the live stream room.

Jiang Feng was organizing the hot air balloon.

The number of people in the live stream room exceeded 100,000+, but the exact number wasn’t displayed.

Jiang Feng casually spoke with everyone:

"Today’s stream is about the hot air balloon going up, I saw someone asking how to control the direction of a hot air balloon."

"Here’s a little science for you, hot air balloons can’t control direction, they just float with the wind."

"It requires a lot of experience from the pilot."

"You must fully consider the weather and wind direction."

"However, experienced pilots can maneuver the hot air balloon to a specific target, because the wind direction varies at different altitudes."

"For instance, from 100 meters to 500 meters, there’s a south wind, so you can fly north; from 500 meters to 1000 meters, there’s a west wind, so you can fly east."

"By adjusting the altitude of the hot air balloon until it reaches the designated destination."

A few people laid the hot air balloon flat, and other ranch employees came out to watch.

This thing was blown up too much.

It’s unique on the entire internet.

Which streamer dares to play like this?

The hot air balloon was laid flat, the large basket underneath was tilted, linked to the balloon bag with steel wire, and there was a flamethrower on top.

Jiang Feng got into the hot air balloon and started fiddling.

What netizens saw was the hot air balloon laid flat on the ground, with something moving inside like a caterpillar.

Everyone watched more and more excitedly.

[The ranch manager always surprises us!]

[Hahaha, even the shepherds are playing with hot air balloons!]

[Such a talent!]

[Is this reliable? Why do I feel it’s so risky!]

Jiang Feng smoothed out the inside of the hot air balloon, then he came to the opening of the balloon bag and brought over a fan to blow air into the balloon.

He stood back to the fan, lifted the upper edge of the balloon bag with both hands.

Wind continuously blew into the balloon.

Gradually, the surface of the balloon heaved, and its overall volume grew larger and larger.

Jiang Feng still found time to chat with everyone:

"We’re in a cold start state right now, buoyancy isn’t high."

"Heated air will expand, increasing buoyancy, and then we can take off."

The balloon continued to grow.

This balloon is 23 meters high, a level 7 hot air balloon, capable of carrying two or three people, just enough to stand in the wicker-woven basket.

But today, it’s only Jiang Feng, and he wouldn’t let anyone else take the risk.

He can parachute himself, so there’s hardly any danger.

Watching the continuously expanding balloon, the netizens were stunned.

Everyone knew Jiang Feng was going to put on a show today.

But no one expected such a big show!

Currently, he’s the number one on the short video platform’s live stream trending.

This time it’s truly viral!

After the balloon expanded, Jiang Feng lit the flamethrower to heat the gas.

The hot air balloon started to float up, and the tilted basket was righted.

At this point, buoyancy wasn’t that big, it was just enough to lift the basket up.

The basket was still tied with a rope, so there was no worry about the hot air balloon flying away.

Jiang Feng climbed onto the hot air balloon, standing in the basket.

He was wearing a windbreaker and sports pants, looking sporty, with a parachute pack strapped to his back.

"Hadan, Bugude, come help me press the frame."

Jiang Feng called the two over.

Hadan and Bugude ran over in a hurry, leaning their elbows on the basket, letting their bodies hang on it, pressing down the hot air balloon to prevent it from flying away.

Around was the green grassland.

Cats, dogs, donkeys, and home pigs all stood on the grass, looking at the hot air balloon with faces full of surprise and doubt.

The netizens in the live stream room were extremely nervous.

Jiang Feng’s hot air balloon was decorated with a custom design.

On it were blue skies and white clouds, along with a golden little border collie cuddling with White Wolf, looking very cute.

The city’s flight team had sent two people over to watch Jiang Feng’s hot air balloon here.

Maodeng Ranch management staff also came.

Jiang Feng’s event wasn’t an ordinary little thing this time, because there’s so much traffic, many people were paying attention to him.

The enormous hot air balloon’s buoyancy started to increase.

Jiang Feng stood in the basket and said to everyone:

"Operating a hot air balloon is very simple, it’s really just about controlling these two flamethrowers."

"Pressing both together, it makes the balloon go up."

"Pressing one, it injects gas on that side, causing the hot air balloon to tilt a bit, allowing slight direction control."

"When landing, just gradually decrease the flame."

Jiang Feng demonstrated the hot air balloon operation to everyone.

Two flamethrowers facing upward, and they can move, changing direction as desired.

Operating the hot air balloon is simply learning where to direct the fire and how much to spray.

Of course, there have been accidents before, where the operator angled the burner too much, causing the fire to burn the hot air balloon’s ropes, almost leading to an incident.

Jiang Feng looked relaxed and said:

"The operation of the hot air balloon has a delay of more than twenty seconds; it’s not like you can move right away after firing. You have to get used to this rhythm."

"Alright, I’m about to take off."

Jiang Feng put on his goggles and simultaneously pressed two burner buttons.

Whoosh!!!

Whoosh!!!

The two burners angled ninety degrees upward, shooting two fire snakes.

The sound of the flames surging was transmitted to the livestream.

A deep sense of awe welled up in the viewers’ hearts.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Hadan and Bugude, holding the frame, felt it lift them upward, and both let go and jumped back simultaneously.

The frame wobbled a bit, swaying left and right.

Everyone watching this scene felt a bit panicked.

Jiang Feng knew this was normal and steadied himself.

Just like that, the massive hot air balloon rose from within the ranch, floating slowly upward.

The drone followed alongside, capturing the scene.

The viewers were already stunned, their jaws dropping.

[It’s flying! It’s really flying!]

[Owner, take back your magic powers, this is really incredible!]

[So bold, playing with a hot air balloon!]

[I have a fear of heights, just watching makes my legs weak!]

The hot air balloon began to ascend.

Jiang Feng controlled the direction and power of the burners.

As long as the burners are handled well, the hot air balloon is perfectly fine.

Jiang Feng looked down at the grassland from the frame.

It was his first time seeing his pasture so clearly.

Due to planting pasture seeds, the grass in his pasture was tall and dense.

In one area, the grass was taller than calf height, and he hadn’t let cattle and sheep graze there yet.

He would assess the situation later; if the cattle and sheep had enough to eat, this area would be reserved as a mowing zone. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The yield would be more than double last year.

He also saw the lakes on the pasture and the rivers at its edges.

From high above, the grassland appeared undulating, like waves, varying in height.

Jiang Feng adjusted the drone’s lens downward.

"For the first time, I’m seeing the full extent of my pasture from above, and it feels more undulating than I imagined."

"Standing high allows for a broader view; I never realized the pasture had such elevation changes before."

"This perspective offers greater clarity."

Jiang Feng leisurely narrated to everyone.

The massive hot air balloon floated leisurely upward.

It drifted toward the distance.

This time, the destination was the Nadamu Festival’s main venue.

Jiang Feng had checked the wind direction in advance; the wind allowed the hot air balloon to fly into the Nadamu venue.

The endpoint of this journey was over there.

The hot air balloon drifted slowly.

To control the direction, Jiang Feng chose to continue letting the hot air balloon ascend.

The wind above was lighter, the drone controller was on the hot air balloon, so the drone could fly this high as well.

The ranch on the ground appeared increasingly small.

Before long, Jiang Feng noticed the surrounding view becoming slightly hazy.

He ascended into the clouds.

Within the ranch, the ranch employees, flight team members, Maodeng Ranch workers, and city people all looked up at the massive hot air balloon.

"It’s entered the clouds! Can’t see it anymore!"

"Will it make it to the Nadamu venue?"

"Heaven bless and protect the ranch owner!"

The employees below exclaimed repeatedly.

The weather was clear, with a gentle breeze, flying into the clouds.

Jiang Feng’s vision was initially a bit blurry, but after ascending higher, he was above the clouds.

He looked below, noting the clouds obscured the ground.

These clouds were very close beneath the hot air balloon, and they were dense, evoking an urge to jump down and bounce atop the white clouds.

Of course, it’s just a thought.

Clouds cannot support a person’s weight.

The viewers in the livestream saw this scene for the first time, feeling quite amazed as they observed the clouds below.

It’s even more stunning than viewing the sea of clouds from a mountain.

These are grassland clouds, soft like cotton, pure white like sugar.

[Such beautiful clouds, it’s my first time viewing them from above like this!]

[It’s so magical, like watching a video with VR goggles!]

[This time, I genuinely applaud the ranch owner, truly stunning!]

Jiang Feng took out his phone, glancing at the map’s position.

He used Gaode map navigation, selecting the mode for walking.

After all, Gaode map doesn’t have a "hot air balloon navigation" option.

"Entered the cloud layer, drifting for another half hour should bring us close to the venue."

"Then slowly begin descending, finally landing at the main venue."

"The Nadamu Festival always promotes the grassland."

Jiang Feng continued his relaxed commentary.

Initially, he felt a bit apprehensive, but after flying for a while, his mindset gradually steadied.

Jiang Feng could also overlook the full panorama of the grassland.

Before long, he drifted out of the clouds into a region without them.

Looking down, there was green everywhere.

Occasionally, he saw cattle, sheep, and horses, appearing smaller than ants.

This scenery was truly rare to witness.

To see it once was already the highest enjoyment.
