“Strange…”

Upon entering the recreational area of Qingyang Valley, Zhao Wenchang looked around with a look of surprise on his face.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Lang, who had never been to Qingyang Valley, asked casually.

“I was planning to take you to some of the most interesting attractions in the valley,” Zhao Wenchang sighed, pointing around, “whether it’s the Misty Roller Coaster or Jungle Bumper Cars, they’re all a lot of fun. Unfortunately, they’re all closed today.”

“Maybe we came at the wrong time?” Qin Lang shrugged, noticing all the attractions marked ‘temporarily closed’.

“No.” Zhao Wenchang shook his head, “These attractions do occasionally close for maintenance, but never all at the same time.”

“And despite the closure of the attractions, there are still plenty of tourists here.”

“I think… maybe there’s some event happening here that 1 wasn’t aware of?” Zhao Wenchang, a local, quickly guessed.

“We could ask a tourist.” Qin Lang quickly approached a young woman, “Excuse me, is there any special event in Qingyang Valley today? Why are all the facilities closed?”

“Yes.” The young woman brightened at the sight of Qin Lang and cheerfully responded, “There’s an interesting competition happening in Qingyang Valley today. The Scenic Area management team is hosting it and because they’re short-staffed, the attractions are temporarily closed.”

“Also, this fun competition is certified by the Spirit Chef Association and you can earn Star Power-”

A fun competition?

Qin Lang blinked.

That was an unexpected yet inevitable answer.

“Gu-lu!”

I want to participate!

Dan Bao’s eyes lit up immediately.

It remembered participating in the Shi Qi Cup Rookie Tacit Challenge. In that competition, it teamed up with Qin Lang and they defeated their opponent, coming first.

As a reward, it not only gained Star Power, but also a level one Mind Stone. With that Mind Stone, Dan Bao successfully awakened the Combat Skill of Thought Waves during its Two Stars promotion.

Because of this experience, Dan Bao was extremely enthusiastic about fun competitions!

“Cha-ka Cha-ba!”

I want to participate too!

Spicy, standing by the side, spoke up, unwilling to be outdone.

The last time Qin Lang and Dan Bao had participated in a fun competition, he hadn’t been born yet.

When he heard Dan Bao talking about that fun competition later, Spicy regretted he couldn’t participate.

Now with a similar fun competition happening, it wouldn’t miss it!

“I really am a terrible guide.” Zhao Wenchang slapped his forehead in regret, “I should’ve known about this fun competition.”

“It’s normal for you to overlook these, you’ve been worried about your family’s restaurant.” Qin Lang smiled and then turned to look at the young woman, “Excuse me, where can we find out more about this fun competition?”

“I grabbed an extra promotional brochure for the competition. Here, you can have it.” The woman handed Qin Lang a brochure from her bag, waved, and said, “I’ve got to go, bye-“.

“Thank you!”

Watching her leave, Qin Lang looked down at the brochure in his hand.

“Brave Cup Mist Adventure Race?”

Seeing the name of the competition on the brochure, he became interested.

“Oh, the Brave Cup.” Zhao Wenchang, standing nearby, had a sudden realization, “Qingyang Valley hosts four to five different fun competitions each year and the Brave Cup is the most famous of them all.”

“Speaking of the Brave Cup, we have to mention a famous spot in Qingyang Valley—the Brave Cave!”

“Legend has it that a long time ago, the thick fog in Qingyang Valley deterred the locals from entering, fearing they would get lost and not find their way back.”

“At that time, a brave citizen named Chou Chen ventured into the valley intending to draw a map of Qingyang Valley and leave markers along the way, disclosing the mysteries of the valley…”

“Did he succeed?”

Qin Lang shifted his attention from the brochure in his hands to Zhao Wenchang’s words.

This was much more fun than reading the dry introduction on the brochure.

Dan Bao and Spicy felt the same.

After all, the dense text on the leaflet made them dizzy.

“Of course he succeeded, otherwise he wouldn’t be called ‘Brave Man’.” Zhao Wenchang laughed, “After that, the locals gradually developed Qingyang Valley and that’s how we have everything we see today.”

“And that ‘Brave Man’, Chou Chen, not only left markers around Qingyang Valley and drew maps, he also repeatedly explored the mysterious green mist in the valley, uncovering more mysteries.”

“The Brave Cave is another one of his major discoveries, named in his honor. It’s a large cave in Qingyang Valley that runs through the highest mountain in the valley, like a naturally formed tunnel.”

“The cave twists and turns, its total length exceeding five kilometers. The mysterious green mist of the outside world also exists within the cave.”

There’s also a legend associated with Brave Cave.” Zhao Wenchang spoke mysteriously, “On his deathbed, the ‘Brave Man’ Chou Chen left a will saying that he left a treasure in the cave, and only the bravest explorers could find it.”

“Gu-lu-”

“Cha-ka-”

Dan Bao and Spicy looked forward in anticipation. After hearing Zhao Wenchang’s story, they were eager to find Chou Chen’s treasure.

Mountain Bandit King…

Qin Lang rolled his eyes, watching the duo beside him.

“In any case, to commemorate ‘Brave Man’ Chou Chen and to publicize his story, the authorities hold the Brave Cup Mist Adventure Race in Qingyang Valley Scenic Area every year.”

“All participants will enter the Brave Cave from one side and then exit from the other.”

“A speed competition?” Qin Lang wore a thoughtful expression.

“No, speed is only one aspect.” Zhao Wenchang chuckled, “If you only run the fastest and get out of the cave first, you can’t get good results.”

“The organizing committee has hidden a lot of ‘Brave Treasures’ in the cave. The participants need to find them and exit the valley with them.”

“The number of Brave Treasures found and the time to exit the valley will be added together to determine the final competition rankings.”

“The top three runners can win a three-day Fun Pass to Qingyang Valley Scenic Area, where all expenses are covered!”

“Let me check the deadline…” Qin Lang glanced at the brochure in his hand, “We have half an hour left to register. Let’s go register now!”

The prizes may not be substantial, but it’s all in good fun, right?
