79. The Idiot's Notes on Collecting Herbs
After all, it’s all points!
Points are credits for daily practice!
Are credits important? Of course they are!
If you don’t have enough credits, you will be downgraded!
What does being demoted mean to all the children in the imperial capital? It means becoming a laughing stock that brings shame to the family and being ridiculed as negative material.
No matter whether they are children from rich families or ordinary people, they don't want to be demoted.
Come on, students don’t want to be demoted!
Therefore, when a large number of people heard that there were more plants to collect, they didn’t take it seriously. Whoever wants to go will go, but they won’t go anyway.
As a result, the next second, I was fascinated by the points. I'm sorry, they were sloppy!
Or will Ye Guitu find a way...
.
"These hundreds of trees must have grown too tall..." Ou Nan looked up at the hillside in front of him, and for a moment he felt like shrinking back.
He couldn't help complaining in his heart, "The sea of rocks is all rocks, who gave this name randomly. Obviously, the entire area is full of mountains rising from the ground, towering into the clouds."
It is called "rock sea", "shanhai" is probably more accurate.
Most of the mountain peaks stand steeply on all sides, as neatly cut as a knife. The mountain in front of us has a more steep angle. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is vertical.
The mountain is all yellow, and a lot of sand and gravel that have been weathered and fallen are flying wildly with the strong wind, and are swept out into large or small whirlpools from time to time, and the entire sky is gray.
Ou Nan pursed his lips and looked serious. It was too dangerous to climb up without relying on external objects. But... he looked at the densely marked points on the map and did not leave.
This is the depths of the rock sea, and there is no one else except him. He is running so fast just to find more points before the rest of the group.
If he hadn't collected all the Wu Zhu in the surrounding low-lying areas, and the map showed that there weren't so many in the front, he wouldn't have thought about these hundreds of Wu Zhu.
Ou Nan's grades are at the bottom. Although his family has arranged a way out for him, he doesn't want to be demoted.
It's so embarrassing to be demoted or something like that! If you tell anyone, you won't be able to see anyone!
So he took advantage of this opportunity to earn more points, so that he could make up for the lack of course credits and hope to graduate successfully.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, did a set of simple warm-up exercises, sprayed insect repellent spray on my body, and started walking towards the mountain peak in front of me.
The purpose of spraying anti-insect spray was to avoid the approach of sleep bugs. Ou Nan didn’t pay attention at first until Wen Yan sent a notice in the group.
[Rock sea sleeping insects are infested, please pay attention to your clothes]
Why are you paying attention to your clothes? Isn’t it just because sleep bugs like them!
When he came to his senses after receiving the notification, he found that the hem of his shirt and the fabric of his trouser legs had disappeared.
It really caught people...off guard.
He took out the rock climbing equipment from his backpack, and after all preparations were completed, Ou Nan began to climb up. He took every step carefully and did not dare to slack off at all.
After all, the safety protection is not very good. If you step on the wrong foot, you will fall down and it will be serious.
Time passed by, and Ou Nan was trembling slightly all over, his limbs were extremely limp. A large amount of sweat was dripping from his chin, and his clothes were soaked through.
Blinking his eyelashes soaked in sweat, the young boy pressed his head against the cliff with great difficulty and looked up. He was only about ten meters away from the peak.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Well, luckily he had good physical strength and his hands and feet were reasonably coordinated, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to take the first step.
Refusing to lower his head and look down, Ou Nan knew how high it was without having to think too much. It was not even a kilometer. His name was written upside down!!!
Gritting his teeth and working hard, before reaching the weak point, Ou Nan launched the final "attack" towards the summit.
When he grabbed the edge of the peak with one hand, his face showed an expectant smile, but he didn't expect that the next second, the stone under his feet suddenly became loose!
The other hand quickly grabbed the edge of the peak, but still couldn't find another stepping stone before the stone fell!!!
At this moment, Ou Nan was in a panic, his heartbeat was as loud as thunder, and his adrenal glands were soaring. But the more anxious he became, the less he could find a place to stay. The mountain was so smooth!
He wanted to throw the safety rope around his waist up and use the hook on the rope to hook the top stone, but he couldn't free a hand at all.
Only now did he realize that the safety rope was placed not under him, but over his head!
In fact, it's not that he doesn't know, but he usually hooks the hook on the safety rope when he passes a safe point. Isn't he afraid of making a mistake and falling? At least he has a safety net!
If Ye Guitu saw Ou Nan's operation, he would definitely be furious. Ou Nan's every step was unexpected and completely hit his mark!!! He would definitely be caught and scolded.
But Ou Nan now hopes that Ye Guitu is here. Although he is scolded by the other party, the other party will easily pull him up.
There is a test on the optical brain. If he uses physical skills, mental skills, or mechas, his name will be decided on the violation board in the assessment room.
Not to mention getting points, points will be deducted for sure.
Otherwise? Let go and try. He remembered that the safety hook was hooked very firmly, so there should be no problem...
Ou Nan swallowed, took a few deep breaths, mustered up the courage and was ready to let go of his hand the next moment.
The moment he let go, he didn't feel the weightlessness of falling at a rapid speed. He opened his closed eyes with a slight doubt and looked up. He was stunned for a moment.
He may never forget this scene before him.
The person who came was wearing the black uniform issued by the college and carrying a black backpack behind him. His long hair was messed up by the strong wind and covered most of his face. Only his eyes could be seen that were extremely cold.
The palm of the other person's hand was warm and full of strength. His heart, which was beating violently due to fear, slowly calmed down.
After coming back to his senses, he gave the other party a very silly smile.
"How are you?"
Wen Yan looked at the little boy who had fallen on the edge of the cliff. Most of the clothes on his arms had disappeared, and his whole clothes were in tatters.
In fact, she had only been up there for two minutes. When she was about to collect Wu beads, a hand suddenly appeared in her field of vision, firmly grasping the edge of the cliff.
The fingers are slender and the skin is fair, but they are covered with dust and fine wounds with blood stains all over them. There is also a long wound on the inside of the wrist, which should have been scratched out by a sharp stone.
At that moment she knew what the other party was doing, so she stopped her movements and paid attention to the hands on the edge of the cliff. After a while, two hands grabbed the edge again.
Wen Yan wanted to help, but thought that the other person had persisted for so long and climbed up, so he must be capable, so he didn't take the next step.
However, what she didn't expect was that the other party didn't come up for a long time. On the contrary, he suddenly let go. She almost subconsciously moved her body and quickly grabbed the other person's hand.
It was definitely someone he knew. Ou Nan suddenly stuttered, "Wen... Chief Wen, I... it's okay..."
It wasn't until Wen Yan pulled him up the cliff that Ou Nan completely collapsed on the ground, not caring whether he was dirty or not. After taking a few deep breaths, he realized how dangerous what he had just done was.
The moment Wen Yan pulled him up, he clearly heard the safety hook make a soft "ding" sound, and then moved up with him.
The safety hook was not hooked firmly...
If he let go and was not caught by Wen Yan, he would fall from this thousand-meter altitude.
The consequences are simply unimaginable...
His hands and feet are soft now, his whole body is soft, and he is still shaking slightly, like a Parkinson's patient!
Looking at the opponent's series of actions, Wen Yan also knew what the opponent had encountered, and calmly looked at the safety rope tied around his waist, which was a bit loose.
It seemed like they weren't tied correctly, and the other party had prepared a set of equipment, so what was the point? Wen Yan couldn't figure it out for a while.
He took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to the other party, then looked away and looked at the Wu Zhu growing on the edge of the cliff not far away, with a plan in mind.
She has an impression of the people on the ground, they are the type of problem students that Ye Guitu often talks about.
After Ou Nan drank the water, he felt like he was alive. Now that he had calmed down, he didn't know what to do next.
He remembered coming to collect Wu pearls, but now that Wen Yan was here, he knew what the other party was doing without having to think about it. He had climbed for so long to reach the top of the mountain and experienced such dangerous things. To be honest, he was very sad.
But he was heartbroken. In the end, he did not express the pain in his heart. Instead, he organized his words and quickly got up from the ground.
"Chief Wen, you too...you also came to collect this piece of Wu pearls...uh, you collect...I'll leave now."
I glanced at the blue plants and felt uncomfortable in my heart: Goodbye, my hundreds of points; my hundreds of points; my hundreds of... points...
Wen Yan saw the other person's expression on the verge of tears and almost couldn't help but laugh. Before Ou Nan pulled out the parachute in his backpack, she spoke.
"I won't pick it, you come."
Hearing Wen Yan's words, Ou Nan suddenly stopped his hand, blinked, and then looked in disbelief.
"Did I hear you right? Chief Wen, what did you say?"
"You heard me right, I won't pick it. You are short of points, but I am not." She came up because other people were shrinking when they saw this thousand-meter-high mountain. It was dangerous and steep, and many people were not short of points.
Just don't consider it.
And she couldn't retreat, because this large area of Wu Zhu was very important to the local medicine farmers. Moreover, she was not afraid and climbed up in a few efforts.
"So that's the reason..."
Ou Nan didn't know why, but he couldn't laugh at things that should be happy.
It felt like Wen Yan was giving him alms, knowing that he didn't have enough points, so he was willing to give up, and he said it honestly.
To be continued...
