Chapter 925 New Challenge 23

"Today is a good day!" Zhang Meng stretched in the morning light. The sunlight shone on his body through the leaves, and he felt extremely comfortable.

"Are you daydreaming again? Get up quickly, today is the day for us to make great achievements!" Qing'er, standing beside him, urged.

"I'm thinking about how to upgrade the aircraft to be better!" Zhang Meng said mysteriously with a gleam in his eyes.

"Are you saying that we want the aircraft to be able to sneeze?" Qiqi suddenly interrupted, his face full of anticipation.

"Sneeze? Do you mean to make the aircraft spray out all kinds of snacks like you do?" Qing'er asked with a smile.

"Of course not! My sneeze is quite powerful!" Qiqi puffed out his chest proudly, then said guiltily, "But some nuts will indeed come out."

"Don't worry, our aircraft will definitely not spray nuts! What we want is to make it fly higher and farther!" Zhang Meng said seriously.

"Okay, continue with your plan." Qing'er shook her head, but her heart was full of anticipation.

"I have a bold idea!" Zhang Meng said, his eyes narrowed into slits, "We should go find the legendary wise cat and listen to its advice!"

"The Wise Cat? I heard it lives on the other side of the mountain, super far away." Qiqi was a little hesitant, "Do we really want to go there?"

"Of course! Think about it, it's a wise cat, it must have a lot of good ideas!" Zhang Meng was full of confidence.

"However, the journey is difficult, do you want to bring some dry food?" Qing'er planned carefully.

"Good idea! I'll be responsible for finding dry food. Who knows if we'll encounter some strange adventures this time!" Qiqi immediately ran to the storage room and started rummaging.

"Then let's go together!" Qing'er also followed, ready to help Qiqi.

In the pantry, Qiqi found some nuts and dried fruits. "Are these enough?"

"I think we need some more water. It's not good to be thirsty on the road." Qing'er reminded.

"Yes! You must bring water too!" Zhang Meng nodded in agreement.

"I'll go find some water!" Qiqi rushed out again.

"Don't just focus on eating, remember to bring water!" Qing'er shouted from behind.

Qiqi turned around and said, "Don't worry, I will eat while looking for water!"

A few minutes later, the three of them finally packed their luggage and prepared to leave.

"Let's go!" Zhang Meng shouted and took the lead to the other side of the mountain.

Along the way, they chatted and discussed the advice the wise cat might give them.

"Do you think the Wise Cat will tell us some ancient stories?" Qing'er was curious.

"Story? Its story must be very exciting, like 'How to prevent a flying vehicle from spraying nuts'!" Zhang Meng joked.

"I'd rather listen to 'The History of the Invention of Flying Machines.'" Qiqi followed up immediately.

"Haha, that's wishful thinking! Just wait, I will make the aircraft even cooler than your dreams!" Zhang Meng said seriously.

"Then let's wait and see!" Qing'er encouraged.

They laughed and talked all the way, passed through the dense forest, passed a stream, and finally came to the foot of a high mountain.

"It's this mountain. We have to climb over it to reach the home of the wise cat." Zhang Meng said, pointing to the top of the mountain.

"I heard that the cat can look at the stars and know the future." Qing'er was a little nervous.

"The future? Then we should ask it if the aircraft can fly higher!" Qiqi was eager to try.

The three of them began to climb the mountain. The scenery along the way was picturesque. However, halfway up, Qing'er suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I think I heard something."

"What sound?" Zhang Meng raised his ears and listened carefully. It was so quiet around him that the only sound he could hear was the wind blowing through the leaves.

"Listen, there's a sound like... a humming sound over there!" Qing'er pointed in the direction of the top of the mountain.

"Could it be that the wise cat is sending us a signal?" Zhang Meng said excitedly.

"Why don't we go and take a look?" Qiqi suggested.

"Good idea, let's go!" Qing'er took the lead and walked towards the direction of the voice.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw a strange scene - a cat was sitting on a high rock, with some colorful pieces of paper flying around it.

"What... is going on?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"It looks like some kind of ceremony is being held." Qing'er said in a low voice.

"Let me ask." Qiqi mustered up the courage and walked towards the cat, "Hello, wise cat!"

The cat turned around and said slowly: "You are here, just in time, I was waiting for you."

"Wait for us? You knew we would come?" Zhang Meng was surprised.

"Of course, prophets can always foresee the future." The Wise Cat smiled and continued to play with the paper in his hand.

"We are here to ask you some questions about aircraft." Qing'er said courageously.

"Flying machine?" The wise cat raised his eyebrows. "This is an interesting topic. What special functions do you hope it will have?"

"We hope it can fly higher and farther, and won't spray nuts," Zhang Meng answered seriously.

"Spraying nuts? Interesting idea." The wise cat looked up at the sky. "The key to flying is to understand the flow of air and the balance of forces."

"Air flow and power balance? This sounds so complicated." Qiqi scratched his head.

"I can give you a simple demonstration." The wise cat waved his claws, and a few pieces of paper flew out and drifted away with the wind.

"Wow, what a beautiful piece of paper!" Qing'er exclaimed.

"This is the power of airflow, which allows light objects to fly. Your flying vehicles also require these principles." The Wise Cat explained.

"So we need to design it to be lighter and more flexible?" Zhang Meng suddenly realized.

"Yes, the choice of materials is very important." The Wise Cat nodded, "You can try using some light wood and leaves."

"Okay, let's try it right away!" Qing'er clapped her hands excitedly.

"Wait a minute, I have one more thing to tell you." The wise cat smiled mysteriously.

"What's going on?" the three of them asked in unison.

"In your flying adventure, the most important thing is teamwork. Remember, one person alone cannot succeed." The wise cat said earnestly.

"We will definitely unite!" Zhang Meng vowed.

"Well said. Next you need to prepare for a challenge. Only after completing this challenge can you truly master the essence of flying." The wise cat said with a smile.

"Challenge? What challenge?" Qing'er was curious.

"You have to find a special golden fruit within the specified time. That fruit can enhance the power of the aircraft." said the wise cat.

"Golden fruit? That's a rare thing!" Qiqi exclaimed.

"You have to find it within three days, otherwise you will have to give up your dream of flying." The wise cat smiled mysteriously, "Are you ready?"

"Of course! We will definitely find the golden fruit!" Zhang Meng said proudly.

So, after the wise cat gave them some clues, the three decided to set off immediately.

"Let's go and find the golden fruits!" Qing'er took the lead, full of confidence.

Along the way, Zhang Meng, Qing'er and Qiqi discussed the challenge from the wise cat and decided to split up to look for the golden fruits.

"I'll go take a look at the woods over there, and you guys go somewhere else," Zhang Meng suggested.

"Okay! Good luck everyone!" Qing'er said with a smile.

During their respective searches, Zhang Meng found some ordinary tree fruits, Qing'er picked up some beautiful stones by the stream, and Qiqi found a little bird in the grass.

"Should I go back and ask the wise cat?" Kiki thought.

At the same time, Qing'er and Zhang Meng encouraged each other on the hillside and continued to look for golden fruits.

"Don't give up, we will definitely find it!" Zhang Meng firmly believed it.

At this moment, a dark cloud suddenly floated over the horizon and thunder roared, which seemed to indicate that their adventure would face new challenges.

"It's going to rain, find a place to hide quickly!" Qing'er shouted.

"Hurry, go to the cave over there!" Zhang Meng pointed to the cave not far away.

The three of them quickly ran into the cave. The rain was pouring down, and the outside world seemed to be washed clean.

"We have to think of a solution here, otherwise our challenge will be ruined!" Qiqi said anxiously.

"Yes, we must find a way to continue looking for the golden fruit!" Qing'er looked at Zhang Meng, "Do you have any ideas?"

"We can use the rainwater to see if we can guide the water flow to find it." Zhang Meng had an idea.

"Good idea, we can look for it near the water flow!" Qing'er agreed immediately.

"Then let's do this. After the rain stops and the sky clears, we'll continue on our journey!" Qiqi's face was full of anticipation.

In the cave, the three of them discussed how to find the golden fruits. With the sound of rain outside the window, the atmosphere was full of teamwork.

"As long as we work together, we will succeed!" Zhang Meng said firmly.

"Come on!" Qing'er and Qiqi responded in unison, full of confidence.

As the rain gradually stopped and the sun shone again, the three of them walked out of the cave and continued to move towards the direction of the golden fruit.

Although this challenge was full of unknowns, their friendship and spirit of cooperation made every step full of laughter.

"Next target, golden fruit, here I come!" Zhang Meng said confidently.
