When Ren Suo watched "Assassin's Bloodbath Feast," he had a strange premonition.
Now that he had seen the massive documentary "If You're Strong, Climb 10,000 Meters," his premonition was finally completely confirmed!
As long as he uploaded a game review, it would not be long before the account called "Ren Nesser" uploaded a real-life video closely related to the game's content onto major video sites!
But "If You're Strong, Climb 10,000 Meters" looked like a little puzzle game meant to kill time, with no hint of realism whatsoever, so Ren Suo had ignored it.
He simply could not imagine how this game could happen in reality.
Yet this video slapped him hard in the face: no matter what the hell you played, it would happen in real life!
Switching to 1P, Ren Suo saw a blonde girl emerge from a moonlit lake in a forest at night. She wore a thin gray-black Training Suit. The rough clothing contrasted sharply with her delicate skin—as Giligili's most distinguished premium member, Ren Suo could enable the ultra-high 1080P+ quality. Once zoomed in, he could clearly and smoothly see every detail of the blonde girl!
Her nearly translucent jade feet stepped onto the earth. Her flawless skin rippled with faint red from the cold wind, while her shoulder-length blonde hair drifted through the air, tracing graceful arcs. The blonde girl walked through the forest step by step.
Ren Suo naturally remembered her. This was his game character from back then—the female Seeker of the Way!
"Hello, everyone. This is my wife."
"I could play with those feet for a whole year!"
"Wife, wife. If she's a woman, she's your wife.jpg"
"It looks just like a CG movie."
"An animated movie? Live-action CG made with the latest motion-capture technology?"
"This is way too long... Don't tell me they filmed everything the goddess does, from eating to pooping?"
"Drop at 63:23, the goddess pees!"
Ren Suo's heart stirred when he saw that. He hurriedly dragged the progress bar over and saw the Seeker of the Way suddenly squat down, then...
She grabbed a snake on the ground that the viewers could not see at all, pinched its neck tight, and raised it high.
Under the moonlight, the vicious-looking long snake, its fangs trailing a disgusting line of saliva, had its head pinned down by an elegant, beautiful right hand. Its tail, more than a meter long, flailed about in midair like a child being picked up and jostled around.
The Seeker of the Way casually flung the snake far away and continued toward the distant Taidamia Mountain Range.
"Where's the pee? Where's the pee I came to drink!?"
"I've been deceived!"
"You gross shut-ins, don't you know Pretty Girls don't pee?"
"Pee... Can a pretty girl's business be called pee? That's holy water!"
The deceived viewers were having a grand old time with the scrolling comments. Ren Suo directly dragged the video to the end and found that the Seeker of the Way was still walking through the forest. However, she was mostly traveling where there was no path at all. In just two short hours, her feet had been badly scraped by thorns and rocks.
Ren Suo quickly skimmed through the rest of the video and discovered that on April 3, the Seeker of the Way had spent the entire day crossing forests and mountains. Although the route had been mostly flat, forests were never easy to traverse.
Yet the Seeker of the Way had not rested for the entire day!
She had not eaten, nor had she rested!
Naturally, she had not pooped or peed either...
Ren Suo opened the next few parts. Each began with comments like this: "This video contains no peeing footage. Please search the next video."
These deadbeat shut-ins really had too much free time.
During the day on April 4, the thin-faced Seeker of the Way finally encountered people—while she ran through the mountains as if no one else existed, several youths driving sheep and cattle appeared in the distance.
It was clear that the youths had been quite shocked and excited when they spotted the Seeker of the Way. They shouted loudly in the distance, but no one could understand them until one comment said, "This is the Kamiya language of the Taidamia Mountain Range. They should be Kamiya People. Detailed information is in comment #221."
Ren Suo then saw this in the comments: "The Kamiya People are scattered along both sides of the Taidamia Mountain Range. Most live in Neel, while a smaller number live in the Xuan Kingdom and Peacock Country. The Kamiya People possess their own ethnic culture and language. They live deep in the mountains and forests, leading isolated lives. It was not until countries around the world began challenging Haidar Peak that the Kamiya People became famous for serving as guides and porters for mountaineering teams climbing Mount Hyjal. They can be called the porters of Taidamia."
Haidar Peak, the Taidamia Mountain Range!
Ren Suo finally knew where the Seeker of the Way was heading.
Wasn't that Haidar Peak, the world's tallest mountain, located in the Taidamia Mountain Range?!
Haidar Peak was the main peak of the Taidamia Mountain Range, located on the border between the Xuan Kingdom and Neel. Its northern side lay within the Xuan Kingdom, while its southern side lay within Neel. At an altitude of 10,230 meters, the mountain was shaped like a pyramid and was known as the World Spine.
In ancient Xuan language, Haidar meant "sacred" and "eternal." It was one of the beliefs of the ancient western mountain folk of the Xuan Kingdom. This snow-covered peak had long been an object of awe.
In modern times, as the world's tallest mountain, it had become one of the great challenges mountaineering teams from every country longed to conquer—there were other mountains in the world steeper than Mount Hyjal, but Haidar possessed the world's greatest height. Conquering it symbolized conquering heaven and earth itself: even the highest place in the world would be beneath humanity's feet!
Ren Suo was about to go back and continue watching when he saw a featured top comment that read: "Watch the highlights in 55P! Once you finish this, you'll know what happened. If anyone doesn't believe it, slowly make your way through the previous 54 parts—the purpose of those 54 parts is to let those of you bound by your own worldview shatter your own worldview with your own hands! Please believe, wait, and remain full of hope!"
"The identity of Zhang Helai, a member of the mountaineering team appearing in the video, has been confirmed. He is the president of Xuan Kingdom Eight Deer Investment Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Eight Deer Food Group. He is also an amateur mountaineer and is currently safe and sound!"
Seeing this, Ren Suo did not plan to browse the remaining parts. He immediately began watching the highlighted version of 55P!
"She is an ordinary person."
In the conference hall on the third floor of the National Security Bureau, 55P of "If You're Strong, Climb 10,000 Meters" was playing on the screen. A girl of about twenty-five said, "At the beginning of the film, up to the stage at an altitude of 4,000 meters, her explosive power did not exceed the limits of normal people. It was even inferior to everyone in this conference hall, perhaps even slightly weaker than an ordinary man. This perfectly matches the muscle distribution displayed in her hands, neck, and feet."
"The only abnormal thing is her endurance," someone said. "For several whole days, without resting or eating, she was somehow able to maintain the same pace as at the beginning. I swear on my frying pan that this definitely had spiritual energy assisting her!"
As he spoke, the man slapped a frying pan onto the table with a bang, making Yu Kuangtu raise his brows. "Xu Hailin, why are you carrying around a new frying pan?"
"My mom told me to buy a frying pan and bring it home..." Xu Hailin scratched his head. "The pan at home broke. She told me to buy one and bring it back so she could cook me a midnight snack."
Xu Hailin looked like an honest rural youth, but he spoke with extreme tact. Yu Kuangtu shrugged. "All right, all right. It wouldn't be good to keep delaying you all. There are still over two hours of important footage left. We'll have to discuss it after watching... You can go back now."
Before the Black Vests could stand, Yu Kuangtu added, "Go back and finish this video, then record the inhuman traits and suspicious points displayed by this target. Hand them to Wang Qingyu before work starts at nine thirty tomorrow."
Everyone groaned, "Why is there homework too..."
