Chapter 732: Counterattack

Most people would experience altitude sickness when they came to Sacheng. Most people would be fine after eating medicine to counter the pain. But those who were hiking could only endure as their bodies would grow dependent on the medicine. In the future, it would be difficult for them to tackle higher altitudes.

But the explorers here had the strongest spirit of adventure among all of humanity, no matter whether they were here to earn money, to experience the thrill, or because of their beliefs. Even before the dawn of the magically rich era, they had to take huge risks while hiking.

Lu Shu walked out of the station. He did not experience altitude sickness. The greatest strength of Practitioners was not simply their strong physique, but also their ability to adapt to different environments.

He walked towards an inn that he had found online. The inn was a place that explorers often stayed at. The blackboard outside the inn was filled with different routes that hikers could take.

For example, if someone wanted to start at Sacheng and hike a mountain, they could either find a free ride here, or find people walking in the same direction.

When Lu Shu walked into the inn, he was dumbfounded. He saw Zhang Yanfeng talking to five or six people in the courtyard of the inn. He was shocked. “Did you follow me?”

Zhang Yanfeng was confused.

I reached here first? Are you crazy? Who followed who?

“From Zhang Yanfeng’s distress, +166!”

“Brother, if you want to join us, just say so.” Zhang Yanfeng said unhappily, “Why did you follow me? Don’t you understand the rules of the community?”

At that moment, Lu Shu saw a familiar face. He did not recognize Lu Shu, but Lu Shu recognized him!

Lu Shu instantly changed his plans. He said, “How much does it cost to join you? I want to take the route to Death Valley.”

“20 thousand,” said Zhang Yanfeng. “The level of danger in the Kunlun Mountains changes every day. We have to take a huge risk to bring beginners into the mountains. If you want to take on the challenge, I’ll have to charge you another 5 thousand!”

To Zhang Yanfeng and the other explorers, no matter whether it was Keriya Pass or Death Valley, these were all places that they wanted to visit. They could earn money and fulfill their explorer dreams at the same time. What a deal!

This was the first time Lu Shu was so generous. He reached into his bag and fished out a gold bar. He threw it at Zhang Yanfeng. “This should be enough, right?”

“Yes, yes. Brother, you are so generous!” Zhang Yanfeng had traveled widely. Once they had a gold bar in their hands, they would be able to determine whether it was real just by its weight and color!

At first, he had thought that Lu Shu was a poor student. But he turned out to be a tycoon!

Lu Shu smiled and went to find the boss of the inn to book a room. He had given a gold bar instead of cash as he was afraid that Zhang Yanfeng would spend all the money. But with a gold bar, it was different. He would be able to spend money for now.

The person who he recognized was very interesting. Back then, when he returned from the Collection of Gods and tried to counter the big families, he had found the Luo City black market. The person who had been keeping guard behind the iron gate was Wang Zhe. He was the Class D secret practitioner in this team!

Back then, when Lu Shu entered the black market, Wang Zhe had stolen a magical stone. But After the fight between him, Li Yixiao and Nalan Que, Wang Zhe ran off, never to appear again.

But here he was. Lu Shu would collect both the principal and interest from him...

This fellow was very interesting. After he stole a magical stone, he ran away and did not come back to guard the black market. He had run to such a distant place. But back then, Lu Shu still had Gao Shenyin’s appearance. Thus, Wang Zhe did not recognise him.

Lu Shu had made an impressive move from the start. He had taken out a gold bar worth more than 20 thousand dollars. Zhang Yanfeng came up with a plan. He wanted to see whether he could get Lu Shu to spend more.

But what they did not know was that the moment Lu Shu entered the inn, the humidity in the inn started to increase. It would be impossible for anyone to disappear without a trace with his water-type abilities. They wanted to fight Lu Shu, but Lu Shu had his eyes on Wang Zhe...

After Lu Shu went up, Wang Zhe looked at Zhang Yanfeng and asked calmly, “What? Bringing gold bars is common here, but most young people carry cash with them.”

People who traveled often carried gold bars to allow them to easily escape. Which young person in this day and age would bring gold bars around?

Wang Zhe was still thin back then when he was guarding the door. After some time leading groups, he now had an aura. His face had become rounder as well...

“I ran into him on the train. Back then, I saw that he was looking up hiking resources on his phone, so I invited him to join us. I didn’t think that he would be a tycoon.” Zhang Yanfeng laughed and said, “He is definitely a beginner. The information that he had looked up was not reliable. Who in our community would post such a nonsensical post?”

Wang Zhe nodded his head. “This is not far. I don’t know why the Heavenly Network had prohibited entry into the Kunlun Mountains. But it doesn’t look too serious. There is no one from the Heavenly Network in the mountains. Call him down during dinner. Make him drunk and get some information from him. Try to solicit some more money from him.”

“Ha ha, are you scared of him even though you’re a Practitioner?” Zhang Yanfeng took no notice.

In this world, some hiked out of pure interest, but some wanted to earn money while having fun. There were all kinds of fish in the sea.

At night, Zhang Yanfeng walked up and called Lu Shu. “Lu Shu, do you want to eat dinner with us? We will probably be together for a month. We should get to know one another better.”

Lu Shu happily followed Zhang Yanfeng down. There were now seven people in the team, including him. According to Zhang Yanfeng, they had to have 12 people before they could set off. But it would be easy to recruit five more members. There were many young people who wanted to go hiking in this season.

Wang Zhe and the rest had set up a bonfire in the courtyard and were grilling food to eat. There were still two boxes of white wine beside them. Lu Shu pulled up a small chair and ate by the bonfire. “You are a fun bunch.”

Zhang Yanfeng opened a bottle of white wine and poured a glass for everyone. Everyone’s eyes fell on Lu Shu. They were planning to get him drunk and make him talk.

Zhang Yanfeng smiled. “This is your first time drinking with us. We have a rule while drinking. I will first introduce everyone at this table. After that, we will drink one glass. If you are able to say out their names after drinking, then you have acknowledged us as your friends. If you are correct, we will drink again. If you cannot say their names, the friendship has been established, so you will drink one glass. Beside you is Garab Bala Danza Musu Zhdan. Next is Uller Dege Mahalalel Rithu Basil...”

Lu Shu was speechless.

Zhang Yanfeng happily drank one glass with everyone else. Just like that, everyone had drunk two or three glasses of wine.

Then they looked at Lu Shu. This method of bullying young people always succeeded. Even those who were strong drinkers could not win against this trump card. Of course, these names were fake. But they would only reveal this after they finished drinking. They had so many strong men, as well as a Practitioner. A young man was an easy target for them.

Lu Shu looked at Zhang Yanfeng and paused for two seconds. “Garab Bala Danza Musu Zhdan, Uller Dege Mahalalel Rithu Basil...”

“From Zhang Yanfeng’s distress, +666...”

“From Wang Zhe’s distress, +666...”

“From Li Kang’s...”

Lu Shu silently laughed. The distress points showed that they all had Chinese names. Why did they act as if they were from a minority race?!
