Qian Zhen silently glanced at the night view outside the window.

There was an inexplicable sadness in my heart.

"Junior brother Xiao is so awesome."

"If I really die."

"He should be able to drag me down the mountain, right?"

……

The next two days.

After having detailed discussions with Xiao Ning, the professional team led by Chen Qing, who has already cooperated with Xiao Ning many times, the Everest project team, with the full cooperation of Red Bull internal and external staff, has almost prepared the trip to Mount Everest.

All challenge plans.

Although the plan has been initially finalized, carrying out such a thing still involves a lot of preparations such as equipment and personnel.

The final climbing time is set between January 2nd and January 4th.

While waiting for the challenge to begin, Xiao Ning was not idle either.

Xiao Ning, who had 110 free skill points left, just spent 60 skill points to increase the [Climbing] skill point to the [Hall] level just to be on the safe side.

After climbing numerous mountains including Mount Everest in the system simulation learning space, Xiao Ning has already grasped the main content of this challenge.

You have confidence, but this kind of confidence is only based on the most basic requirements of this mission.

Because the physical fitness is close to the limit of human beings, coupled with the [Hall] level [Climbing] skill bonus, climbing to the summit in winter and climbing to the summit without oxygen will not be difficult for Xiao Ning.

Just memorize the road book and just rely on your physical fitness and climbing skills.

But the content of this mission is not just to climb to the top. After reaching the top, he has to jump off.

For this reason, Xiao Ning, who still had 50 skill points left, spent another 30 skill points to add the [Wingsuit Flying] skill to the [Master Level].

In addition to climbing up and jumping off the top of the mountain, the other determination conditions for improving the rating score are the most difficult part.

The first thing that stumped Xiao Ning was the bonus point condition of "helping others climb Mount Everest".

Regarding the matter of taking someone up the mountain, Xiao Ning had not completely decided on Qian Zhen before.

Although Qian Zhen is the most suitable candidate because they trust each other and can trust each other at that altitude of death, if he really doesn't have the courage to do this, Xiao Ning will never force Qian Zhen to follow him

Go up the mountain.

For this reason, Xiao Ning also specifically met with Qian Zhen to discuss it in detail.

What surprised him was that Qian Zhen, who had expressed hesitation to some extent on the phone before, was quite firm when asked whether he had made up his mind.

"If I die, I will die on top."

When Qian Zhen said such a sentence with a firm look on his face, Xiao Ning felt that the other party was extremely strange.

At that time, he even thought that his senior brother had been taken away by some immortal cultivator...

Later, Xiao Ning found out from Qian Zhen's assistant, Xiao Wang, that Qian Zhen couldn't get off the stage because he was criticized by netizens all over the Internet. Xiao Ning finally felt that everything was reasonable.

Qian Zhen did indeed do a pretty good job on the two points of "hard-talking" and "saving face."

In short, Qian Zhen is very determined to go to Mount Everest.

In order to prevent this incident from happening unexpectedly.

Xiao Ning thought about various plans in the past two days, and finally finalized the plan after discussing with the Red Bull professional team.

And this plan is actually quite simple.

Regarding Mount Everest, there is indeed a saying in the mountaineering circle that "as long as you give enough money, the Sherpas can lift you to the summit."

At first glance, this sentence means that it is not difficult to climb Mount Everest, but it actually means praising the Sherpa people’s mountaineering skills.

But if you only look at the superficial meaning, it is indeed possible to carry a person up the mountain with a few powerful and exaggerated Sherpa mountaineers.

Therefore, he Sherpa can lift people to the top of Mount Everest.

It should be reasonable for me, Xiao Ning, to carry someone on my back to the summit, right?

Yes.

This final plan is extremely abstract in the eyes of the Red Bull professional team, and Xiao Ning thinks it is the most suitable - "carry Qian Zhen directly up the mountain".

Red Bull thought it was abstract, mainly because they didn't think Xiao Ning had the physical strength to support him in completing this task.

Although Qian Zhen is not fat or even a little thin, he is still over 100 pounds...

Even if a person who is healthy or even in good physical condition is allowed to carry such an adult on the flat ground, it will be a huge test of physical fitness, let alone carrying a person on Mount Everest.

Therefore, the Red Bull team initially wanted to reject Xiao Ning's plan, which seemed "absurd" and "abstract."

But then Xiao Ning went to the gym and had someone record a video.

After seeing the image of a barbell weighing about 100 kilograms above the head with both hands, walking back and forth in the gym as if nothing happened, or even jogging, the Red Bull staff of the Everest project team passed this task in collective confusion.

"Absurd" plan.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they, who had been paying attention to Xiao Ning and witnessing Xiao Ning completing one challenge after another, had actually ignored some very important things.

Although many people also know that Xiao Ning's physical fitness is different from ordinary people and is quite strong. This can be seen from previous challenging events such as parkour and longboard downhill.

But such a direct burst of power and lasting power really exceeded everyone's expectations.

After watching the gym video, many people even thought that if Xiao Ning wanted to, he could just go to some traditional sports events in the Olympics and win gold medals.

In the end, the first difficulty in Xiao Ning's opinion was solved smoothly for the time being.

According to the road book for climbing to the top of the north slope, pick the simple points to drag Qian Zhen forward, and directly carry Qian Zhen on the more complicated points, keeping Qian Zhen warm and cold and supplying oxygen throughout the process.

In this case, at least Qian Zhen's safety will not be a problem unless he encounters extreme weather conditions on the mountain.

And if we really encounter some extreme weather conditions in the mountains that occur only in several years or decades.

Not to mention Qian Zhen, Xiao Ning will probably have to answer for it himself.

In short, for the sake of safety and the completeness of the mission, Xiao Ning has spent the past few days designing and making choices about the various bonus points conditions for the mission.

And while he was busy, Qian Zhen was not idle either.

Xiao Ning is busy making various plans and discussing various details with the people from the Red Bull Everest project team.

Qian Zhen is busy...

Busy eating.

Yes.

Chafan in the literal sense.

After all, it only takes a few days. It is sheer nonsense to ask someone to learn any mountain climbing skills or anything in such a short period of time.

In addition, Xiao Ning said that he did not need Qian Zhen to master any professional mountaineering skills and he would assist him throughout the entire process. After briefly understanding some mountaineering common sense, Qian Zhen decisively gave up the idea of ​​learning more in such a short period of time.

And when he asked Xiao Ning what else he could do while waiting for the challenge to start, Xiao Ning's original words were "do as much delicious food as possible."

Although this may sound confusing, it seems to mean that what you eat these days may be your last meals, so you must eat well.

But in fact Xiao Ning has considered it.

Rather than asking Qian Zhen to learn skills and experiences that are impossible to acquire in a short period of time, it is better to let him eat some meat, eggs and milk to maintain his physical condition to cope with some of the challenges he will face.

Qian Zhen also took Xiao Ning's words seriously.

He has been eating really well these days.

And it’s not the kind of diet where you eat haphazardly.

In order to avoid diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort and other unfavorable situations, Qian Zhen has not even eaten his favorite hot pot in the past few days.

His diet is quite healthy these days.

Especially protein, it can be said that it is full.

In order to avoid protein loss, he has not even gone to the foot washing city for services in the past few days.

In short, the past few days passed quickly as Xiao Ning and Red Bull were busy with various preparations and Qian Zhen's various "meals".

Time changes.

It’s January 2nd.

Xiao Ning, Qian Zhen and some members of the Austrian Red Bull Everest project team have successfully flown to LS.

The starting point of the north slope route of Mount Everest, where Xiao Ning and his group are going this time, is the North Slope Mount Everest Mountaineering Base Camp located in DR County.

By the time the group of people took helicopters, cars and other means of transportation prepared in advance by Red Bull, they headed all the way to their final destination, DR County, it was already evening that day.

Due to various factors such as the weather, and in order not to delay things, the group did not stay too much in DR County. Instead, they rushed directly to the Everest Base Camp after arriving in DR County.

In fact, the entire road from LS to the Mount Everest Mountaineering Base Camp on the north slope in DR County is covered with asphalt roads.

In addition, Xiao Ning and others came by helicopter for some of the previous sections, so Xiao Ning and Qian Zhen had already arrived at the Everest Base Camp that night.

The estimated time to start climbing to the summit is within these two days.
