Chapter 167: Saving the National Treasure (Subscription Request)
Liu Xingyu is the kind of successful person whose standards are enough to be written in textbooks to inspire children to study hard.
This guy has been "someone else's kid" in the eyes of most parents who want their children to succeed since he was a child. He has excellent academic performance and is extremely self-disciplined. He has a background in programming competitions. He graduated from the junior class of the University of Science and Technology of China and studied abroad with a full scholarship. He received a doctorate from a prestigious school in New England and joined the job after graduation. Google, engaged in research on "deep learning".
So far, Brother Liu can be called a role model for the younger generation, but his legendary life has just begun.
During the years when Brother Liu was studying abroad, he happened to catch up with the first wave of the rise of digital currency.
He had the foresight to devote himself to the mining industry and became a trend-setter and pioneer in the field of digital currency. However, when latecomers swarmed in and were cut off, he had already retired at the age of 30. Financial freedom is achieved.
According to Liu Xingyu's life plan, since he has already earned a dozen small goals, there is no need to work hard for rice in this life, so he shifted the focus of his career from abroad to China, planning to return to China to find a teaching position in a university.
With his academic level and industry experience, it is not difficult to get a tenured teaching position in a prestigious school.
However, just two days after he found a teaching position, resigned and returned to China, he witnessed the Silver Flash erupting with his own eyes on the hotel balcony, and his planned life trajectory took a sharp turn.
Brother Liu entered the world of "Savior Simulator" and experienced it for a whole day. Afterwards, he decided that this was the "Metaverse" of his dreams, so he made an unexpected decision.
He gave up his teaching position at a prestigious school that brought him a high social status, returned to his hometown with his wife and a pair of twin children who had just turned one year old, and contracted a large area of mountains, forests and fish ponds in the beautiful Jiangnan water town. In this way, he retired to the countryside and became a farmer.
In the eyes of Liu Xingyu's friends and colleagues, this approach is somewhat unexpected, but they have to admit that as a successful person in various senses, Mr. Liu does have the capital to quit the rapids and return to the countryside, and this move is quite ancient. The demeanor of a scholar-bureaucrat.
However, in another unknown battlefield, Brother Liu put on a SWAT uniform and was happily fighting monsters and leveling up.
Liu Xingyu's Tiangong number is 1024, ranking 9th in the entire site and 4th in the entire company, second only to Lin Qi, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng.
The profession he focuses on also has a hermit style, called "Druid of the Green Fields", which is a powerful type of Druid profession. The biggest feature is that you can tame animals and plants whose challenge level does not exceed your own druid level, making them your "natural partners" - this is very much like an animal tamer.
Lin Qi and Penny both said that Liu Xingyu is the hidden master of their team, and the current ranking is not enough to reflect his true strength.
Gao Fei initially felt that their statement was too exaggerated and had some bragging content. However, after he had two drinks with Brother Liu, he heard the other man personally reveal that his natural partner was a "sprawling monster"...
Emmm...well, Gao Fei had to admit that Brother Liu was indeed a "sweeping monk" level outsider.
…
On the third day after arriving in Jiuzhaigou, Gao Fei's Team 05 received a special mission from the company commander. They drove off at dawn, leaving the county and heading straight to the southwest forest area.
As we all know, the Jiuzhai area has world-famous original ecological forest parks and endangered species reserves. Among all protected wild animals and plants, the species with the highest standard and the most attention-grabbing species is undoubtedly the national treasure giant panda.
The mission that Gao Fei and his team shouldered today was to go to the breeding base located deep in the forest park, rescue five pandas and eight staff members one by one before the mutated beasts broke into the base, and escort them back to the county.
The van drove on the winding mountain road for two hours. When it was almost nine o'clock, Wang Daqing had to step on the brakes.
The highway ends here. Ahead are rolling mountains. Bamboo forests are scattered all over the hillside. A winding bluestone path can be seen vaguely, extending to the depths of the sea of clouds.
The last section of the mountain road leading to the panda base is inaccessible to cars. Everyone had no choice but to park the police car on the side of the road and hike over the mountains.
Before getting out of the car, Gao Fei had already switched his secondary profession to "Dragon Warrior", and Winged Cat took back his magic pet pocket so that he could transform into a red dragon and fly into the sky when necessary.
Qi Tian took his second natural partner, the dire bat, and after getting off the car, he ordered the bat to fly above the mountains through telepathy and conduct reconnaissance in the air.
The professional abilities of a level 2 animal trainer include "survival expert", which automatically gains "endurance of the environment", proficiency in wilderness survival and prey tracking skills, and an advantage in related checks.
Obviously, Qi Tian is the most suitable member of the team to serve as a scout, walking at the front of the team.
Gao Fei, Ma Tao and Wang Daqing followed closely, with Jiang Feng and Li Jiajia responsible for breaking up the rear.
The bluestone steps are covered with moss and a layer of dew, making them extremely slippery. If you step on the wrong foot without paying attention, you will fall and get bruised and swollen.
A group of six people climbed up the mountain road, wearing heavy anti-riot suits. Within half an hour they were exhausted and sweating profusely.
Li Jiajia, who was the weakest in the team, struggled especially hard. He took a step and took a breath. If Jiang Feng hadn't been there to support him, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.
It took a full hour for everyone to climb halfway up the mountain.
Jiang Feng saw that Li Jiajia couldn't bear it, so he suggested taking a rest before rushing on.
Li Jiajia sat under the shade of bamboos on the roadside, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat, and sighed: "No wonder the ancient poems say that the road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than climbing to the sky! I came here in person and found that it is not an exaggeration at all!"
Gao Fei sat down opposite her, pulled off a piece of bamboo leaf, and replied with a smile: "The road we are walking on was actually built more than ten years ago. If it were the ancient plank road in the past, let alone walking up, just looking at it from a distance would scare people's legs to tremble."
"Brother, aren't you tired?" Wang Daqing asked panting.
"Not bad." Gao Fei smiled easily.
He has the specialty of "perseverance", which automatically reduces exhaustion by 1 level, and with the special ability of "enduring the environment", he is not affected by cold or heat. He climbed the mountain road for half a day under the scorching sun and hardly sweated.
After a short rest, everyone continued on their way.
It took another half an hour to finally climb to the top of the mountain.
The terrain ahead turned flat and open, and what appeared in everyone's vision was an endless sea of bamboo. The breeze blew, the bamboo leaves swayed, rustled, and the eyes were full of green, beautiful.
When everyone saw the beautiful scenery in front of them, the fatigue of crossing the mountains and ridges was swept away, and they couldn't help but slow down their pace to appreciate the beautiful natural scenery along the way.
Gao Fei suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Feng and Ma Tao beside him: "Yesterday, Lin Qi and her team went into the mountains to look for lost hikers, and the search and rescue site seems to be near this bamboo forest."
