These are 100 LEGO people.

And today, I'm gonna build them a huge LEGO skyscraper that reaches my ceiling.

Each level getting weirder and crazier.

And along the way, I'll be simulating natural disasters to see if it will survive.

So, anyway, let the challenge begin.

Now, once upon a time, there was a small peaceful neighborhood full of happy minifigures.

Until one day, it was attacked by a zombie apocalypse.

So to survive, I'm gonna build them a massive maximum security Lego tower,

which has everything needed to survive and live happily.

So it's time to cook the very first level.

To enter, you must pass this indestructible high security door protected by guards.

And once you enter, you'll discover this fancy lobby with expensive artwork, this tiny aquarium, and a working elevator,

which will transport people to the many levels we will soon be building.

Okay, first these minifigures need a place to live.

So my first mission is to build them apartments so they can finally move in.

I first built these ones which are the cheapest to rent for the poorest minifigs.

They're extremely depressing and feel like prison.

You get one bed and the world's tiniest bathroom.

So I then built even more apartments.

But this time they cost more money.

But they're much larger and have much more to offer.

Like a kitchen and a living room with a flat screen TV.

And finally, I built even more apartments for the richest minifigures.

They're extremely peak.

You get your own balcony, a huge kitchen, luxurious furniture, a private office, a king-size bed, and the biggest bathroom yet.

And now that all these apartments are complete, it's time for these minifigures to pay their rent and finally move in.

Nice, let's go.

So all 100 minifigures can finally claim their new homes, and the first four levels of our LEGO skyscraper are complete.

But what I did tell you is that I'm actually building this next to the Eiffel Tower, which is also the tallest LEGO set ever made.

And the only way this video will end is if we pass it in height and reach my ceiling.

Yeah, we are not touching grass for a long time.

Okay, these minifigures have a place to live, but they also need food to survive.

So for level 5, I built a gourmet 5-star restaurant with plenty of seating and hundreds of dishes to choose from.

To prepare the food, I built a huge kitchen with highly trained chefs that can cook any meal imaginable.

And for the most famous, important, and rich customers, I built a private VIP dining area with luxurious seating

and an outdoor seating area where as you eat, you have a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower.

Now we built a restaurant, but we still need more food.

So on level 6, I then built a huge grocery store.

Here you can buy everything from cereal, to popular snacks, to soda and eggs.

So now the minifigures have unlimited food and can eat anything they want.

Okay, this Lego skyscraper now has 6 levels.

But we're still getting mobbed by the Eiffel Tower, and it's time to simulate the first of many natural disasters to see if this building will survive.

So to pick it, I have this wheel which will select a random one for us.

Okay, first we'll be hitting this building with a giant bazooka, so I'll be using this one which shoots these huge rockets.

Okay, it dented the building and this guy got slimed out, but aside from that, the building survived.

Okay, these minifigures have a place to live and eat, but next they need somewhere to go shopping for random merchandise and goods.

So my plan is to build them a huge shopping mall with multiple levels.

Okay, the mall is finished, and there's three levels to it.

On level one, I built a Lego store in Lego.

I built this Apple store, which sells the newest iPhones, iPads, and computers.

I built this store, where minifigs can go shopping for new heads.

I even built this huge pet store, which sells every kind of pet, like birds, different dog breeds,

cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, and this chameleon.

It's there, you just can't see it.

On level two, I built this ice cream shop with many flavors of ice creams and toppings.

This expensive jewelry store.

It's so expensive that it's protected by these bulletproof glass cases.

This expensive designer clothing store and the sporting goods store, which sells bicycles, surfboards, snowboards, skis, and skateboards.

And for the final level of this mall, I built this gaming store decorated with gaming characters

and here you can buy games gaming consoles

or a gaming pc i built this candy store

which sells many kinds and flavors of candy

and this costume store where you can buy costumes

and get pictures wearing them i even built a starbucks where you can purchase

and drink coffee and outside the mall i even built a small garden full of plants

and trees so these minifigures can finally go outside and touch grass

and because this mall took so long to build i might as well too.

Okay, this mall's added three new levels to our Lego skyscraper and the minifigures are finally having fun and shopping.

But I just noticed we're almost at 10 million subscribers.

So let's go and tell everyone to hit that sub button.

And while they do that, we're ready to continue building.

Next, these minifigures need emergency services like a police station or a hospital.

First, I'm gonna build a Lego police station so we can catch

and sentence criminals First they enter this courtroom where a judge determines if they're guilty.

I sentence you to 10 years in prison for possession of illegal building techniques.

And if so, they're brought into this next room where their mugshot is taken.

Then they're placed in one of these many jail cells.

They're extremely small.

You get a tiny bed and a toilet.

And when it's time to eat, you're brought into this cafeteria where you're fed a single old egg.

I even built this small office where the police can receive calls and collect illegal evidence.

Next, we're ready to build a hospital.

But because I'm now out of pieces, let's quickly speed run to the Lego store and buy more.

Okay, it's time to lock in and build Max the Lego hospital.

I built many rooms, Like this waiting room for patients.

This emergency room where they can get plastic surgery.

Get it?

Cause it's Lego.

I built this recovery room with beds for all the patients.

This room with a huge x-ray machine.

And I even built this big pharmacy.

So these minifigures can buy medicine and heal themselves.

Okay, the police station and hospital are complete.

Which means the skyscraper is now a safer place to live.

But the Eiffel Tower is still taller.

Which means we must continue building and this video can't end.

And it's time to simulate the next natural disaster.

Okay, this time we're going to simulate wind.

So to do that, I bought this leaf blower.

100

Let's go.

101

The building is so thick that it didn't even move.

102

Okay, the next thing these minifigures need is their own entertainment.

103

So on level 12, I built a huge indoor water park.

104

It has its own lazy river.

105

This stand where you can buy juice.

106

I added these diving boards at different heights.

107

And finally, I built a huge outdoor pool with two water slides.

108

And my plan is to fill this with actual real water.

109

Oh shoot, it's literally leaking everywhere.

110

Yeah, Lego is not designed for that.

111

So I then called one of my YouTube friends who 3D printed me a custom piece that actually holds water.

112

Let's go.

113

We built a huge Lego water park that has actual real water in it.

114

You have three seconds to guess what this next level will be.

115

Okay, on level 13, I built this huge arcade with many different games, like this racing simulator, this air hockey table, this basketball game, or this dancing game.

116

I even built this shop where you can redeem your points for prizes.

117

You can win a Nintendo Switch, a bicycle or skateboard, this huge infinity gauntlet, the newest iPhone, or this rare expensive Pokemon card.

118

I even built a private party room where someone's currently having a birthday party with unlimited pizza.

119

Bro, this building is getting so tall.

120

I'm literally standing on a chair now to build.

121

Next, these minifigures need a place to exercise and play sports.

122

So on level 14, I turned it into a complete sports center with an outdoor tennis court, a full basketball court, and a complete gym with all kinds of equipment.

123

So now these minifigures can finally mog and not look like Discord mods.

124

Let's go, we're only a few levels away from passing the Eiffel Tower.

125

Okay, we've now unlocked level 15 of the Lego skyscraper.

126

And my plan is to build a huge theater so these minifigs can watch movies.

127

I built these comfy, luxurious chairs.

128

I made the screen from an actual phone.

129

I built these huge speakers.

130

And I even built a tiny snack shop where you can buy soda and popcorn to eat as you watch your movie.

131

Bro, what are they even watching?

132

Bro, look at this.

133

Oh, heck no. It's literally shaking now.

134

Okay, it's time to add yet another level to our Lego skyscraper.

135

And this time, I built a private club with live music.

136

You must be famous or rich to enter.

137

If not, you will be kicked out by security.

138

Inside, I built this stage with lights, speakers, and this guy playing music.

139

I also built this huge dance floor where people can emo and aura farm.

140

I be with my ninjas, I be with a good y'all Just do the golden weapons

141

that I brought so many figures out There's even a private lounge for VIP members And instead of taking an elevator,

142

there's a literal helicopter up here to transport people And with this new level complete,

143

this Lego skyscraper is finally taller than the Eiffel Tower Oh my gosh, let's go!

144

We finally did it!

145

Take that France, get mogged!

146

So to celebrate, I have one final level to add, which is also the greatest of them all And it's an entire theme park with many rides.

147

Like this one where you sit at the end of this robotic arm and are dangled over the edge of the building.

148

So if you have a fear of heights, don't do this ride.

149

I built this ride where you sit in this chair and are launched into the air.

150

Or this ride where you're literally spun in circles the whole time.

151

Yeah, I think this is more of a torture device and not a ride.

152

And on the very top of the building, I built an entire roller coaster that only the bravest minifigures will ride.

153

Let's go this Lego skyscraper is finally complete

154

and we've built a literal city inside this building with everything these minifigures could need to survive and live happily.

155

Bro look at this It's almost touching the ceiling, but there's one more thing we must do and that's to simulate one final natural disaster.

156

Oh Heck no we have to simulate an earthquake Oh My gosh,

157

yeah, the top got absolutely cooked but the rest of the building survived yo,

158

we're also about to hit 10 million subscribers No,

159

no other way no no other way no Thank you so much for 10 million subscribers.

160

This is me when I had 100 subscribers But we're not stopping.

161

Subscribe, comment what I should build next.

162

Thanks for watching.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
