Chapter 367: Deadly Qingfeng Mountain
Chapter 367: Deadly Qingfeng Mountain
After listening to everyone's updates briefly.Jiang Ran realized he was the one doing the worst among them.
Jiang Weixin had started his own company, and Wang Haoran along with several others were working under him.
Fatty was also working for Jiang Weixin, with bright prospects ahead.
The short guy's family ran a pig farm as well as fish ponds.
Since the ordinary girl was engaged to him, she would naturally be helping with these businesses in the future.
As for Wang Qingzhao, although she attended an ordinary class, her family background was excellent.
Then there was Shen Xing who hadn't come - she had found herself a rich second generation and would be living the good life every day from now on.
Only Jiang Ran was doing the worst.
Of course, Jiang Ran didn't mind because he was quite satisfied with his current life.
He felt very fortunate after transmigrating.
First, he won an apartment, then encountered a reader who tipped him several hundred thousand yuan.
Besides that, his current job as assistant manager was easy with a decent salary.
The coach bus departed from Nancheng City at 6:30 PM.
By 10 PM, they arrived at a hotel near Qingfeng Mountain in Beicheng City.
The group dragged their luggage and checked into rooms at this hotel.
The short guy shared a room with his fiancée, the ordinary girl.
Jiang Weixin shared a room with that very beautiful girl.
Aside from them, everyone had their own single room.
"By the way, Fatty, why didn't you invite your partner to come hiking with us?"
Jiang Ran and Fatty had rooms right next to each other.
While walking together, Jiang Ran casually asked.
Fatty chuckled sheepishly: "Forget it, this is a class reunion. She's not our classmate, it would be pretty awkward if she came."
...
While Jiang Ran and the others were checking into the hotel that evening.
They were completely unaware that the I Want to Be the Treasure King game had been live streaming for almost a full day.
This game was different from the Alice Apartment's seven-day rounds.
The I Want to Be the Treasure King rounds only lasted three days.
In the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.
Since it was rebroadcasting the live feed from the I Want to Be the Treasure King live stream room.
There weren't many viewers, as many from the original stream had gone to the I Want to Be the Treasure King live stream room to chat.
After all, that was the main battlefield, much more lively.
Among those who went over were the chatterboxes from the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room.
At this moment, in the I Want to Be the Treasure King live stream room.
Middle-aged Uncle: [So excited!]
Bomb King: [Excited about what?]
Bomb King was the chatterbox contestant in the I Want to Be the Treasure King live stream room.
Middle-aged Uncle: [Of course I'm excited about Jiang Ran's dazzling debut tomorrow! Let him show you weak live stream games what real intensity looks like!]
Bomb King sent an extremely disdainful emoji.
Followed by: [Come on, what intensity? Do you even know who the six game contestants are in this round?! You talk about intensity? Let me tell you, this isn't your Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room. Be careful that Jiang Ran guy dies here and becomes a small treasure.]
Fairy Sister: [I've been watching the live stream all day, and I haven't seen how strong your six contestants in this round are. They've been searching for treasures on the mountain all day...]
Grenade King: [Don't worry, the cruel part comes on the second and third days. You'll find out how brutal our live stream game is tomorrow.]
...
The next day, early morning around 5 AM.
Everyone finished washing up and had breakfast at the hotel.
They gathered outside the hotel at 7 AM.
Fatty's plan was simple.
Start climbing the mountain this morning.
Stay overnight on the mountain, then watch the sunrise tomorrow morning.
Take photos for memories, then begin descending.
Jiang Ran and the others changed into hiking gear.
Besides that, they had some essentials like tents, water, food, and similar items.
Jiang Ran had no idea these people planned to stay overnight on the mountain, so he hadn't bought a tent at all.
Fortunately, Wang Qingzhao said her tent was big enough, so Jiang Ran could share with her that night.
Naturally, Jiang Ran was very grateful for this.
After walking for about half an hour without getting close to Qingfeng Mountain yet.
They could already see Qingfeng Mountain's imposing height from afar.
After all, it was a large mountain over 1000 meters above sea level.
Thick clouds and mist already swirled around the upper middle part of the mountain.
Besides that, the entire mountain was covered with dense green vegetation.
A lush green expanse.
Humans standing at the mountain's base truly seemed like tiny specks compared to this towering mountain.
Just like the comparison between humans and ants.
Of course, there was also an ancient pagoda at Qingfeng Mountain's summit.
Reportedly built during the Qing Dynasty.
Though no one knew if that was true.
"Do you think there might be immortals on this mountain?"
The group reached the mountain base.
They saw a stone climbing staircase winding continuously upward.
Fatty was the first to crack a joke.
The short guy laughed and said: "If there really are immortals, we should drag one down to officiate our wedding! Hahaha!"
Jiang Weixin shook his head upon hearing this: "What kind of wishes are these? If there really were immortals, of course you'd want immortality!"
Wang Haoran added beside him: "Immortality? Sigh, if immortality really existed, then all those ancient emperors would have achieved it by now."
Right at that moment, Wang Qingzhao suddenly said something no one expected:
"Maybe... instead of immortals, this mountain has death-bringing Black and White Impermanence, and the King of Hell."
The morning was already quite chilly, and the group was at the remote base of Qingfeng Mountain.
When the wind blew, it made everyone's pores contract all over their bodies.
"Uh... hehe, Qingzhao, we haven't seen you in years, and you've learned to make these dark jokes too."
Wang Haoran, who had feelings for Wang Qingzhao, walked over and said: "Qingzhao, are you tired? Let me carry your backpack for you?"
Wang Qingzhao shook her head: "No need, I've been exercising recently. This stuff is nothing."
Others thought Wang Qingzhao saying there might be death-bringing Black and White Impermanence and the King of Hell instead of immortals on the mountain.
Was probably just a dark joke.
But Jiang Ran didn't feel she was joking at all.
Perhaps Wang Qingzhao really was just joking.
But she happened to be right.
Because ever since approaching Qingfeng Mountain, Jiang Ran's mind had been filled with:
[Ding! Dangerous area detected, please evacuate immediately! Points +5! Points +5! Points +5...]
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he still called out to stop the others, saying: "Hey everyone, my sixth sense is pretty accurate. I suddenly feel that Qingzhao might be right, this mountain is dangerous. How about we find another mountain to climb instead?"
Jiang Ran looked completely serious.
The others listened without speaking at first, then burst into laughter simultaneously the next second.
Wang Haoran, who had feelings for Wang Qingzhao, laughed the hardest.
He sneered: "Jiang Ran, enough, stop joking around. Qingzhao making jokes is one thing, but you're joining in too? And changing mountains to climb? Do you think everyone has that much free time?"
Jiang Weixin also said: "Exactly, everyone is very busy. We managed to carve out a few days for old classmates to climb a mountain together, it's so meaningful!"
"Alright alright, everyone start climbing! From now on, no more of these jokes allowed!"
"Even if there really is some danger on the mountain, so what? There are so many of us, we wouldn't even be afraid of a black bear!"
After speaking, the group began climbing.
Jiang Ran watched everyone climbing and, having no choice, could only follow.
The climb was actually quite enjoyable.
They chatted and laughed while climbing.
Resting whenever they got tired.
After all, no one was in a hurry to reach the summit.
