Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Chapter 602 - 279: Reaching the Summit! Two Check-In Tasks Completed!

First of all, it is important to understand that parachuting is also a kind of sport, and the core physical qualities of this sport are cardiopulmonary function, balance and spatial perception, as well as anti-dizziness and anti-pressure capabilities.

In the high-altitude, low-pressure environment and during rapid descent, the heart and lungs will be subjected to great stress.

At high altitudes without references, there is a need for precise judgment of body posture, relying heavily on vestibular function and muscle memory to maintain stability and avoid spiral descent.

Additionally, during high-speed rotation and turbulence, dizziness can occur, so parachutists need to have a very strong anti-dizziness ability.

On this basis, the moment the parachute opens, there is an overload of several Gs. Li Younan now feels that the top-notch overload experienced by fighter jet pilots during takeoff might be no different from this.

Of course, aside from these basic physical qualities, Li Younan feels that his reaction speed has also improved a bit.

The improvement is not drastic, as many of his previous skills have already given him extremely top-notch reaction abilities.

However, parachuting indeed requires quicker reaction speed, from judging height, choosing landing points, to dealing with parachute malfunctions, all decisions need to be made in an instant.

Just after completing this round of physical enhancement, parachuting skills brought another skill level-up.

[With the support of parachuting skills, wing suit flying skill upgraded lv.1]

[Wing Suit Flying Skill lv.3: You have thoroughly embraced the pulse of atmospheric currents, weaving storms and airflows into extended wings. The mountains and clouds before you collapse into a foldable three-dimensional picture.]

Li Younan is in a good mood, having consecutively obtained two Level 3 skills, complemented by his top-notch skiing skills, making the upcoming snowboard ski descent feel more solid and steady.

But it’s not over yet.

Right now, he’s just one photo away from completing the photo task for Rikaze, and perhaps at the summit, it’s his last chance.

However, as he began to take photos, he couldn’t find the feeling he had when taking photos at the Assault Camp, unable to produce master-level works.

He sighed slightly, thinking that if it doesn’t work here, he might have to wait until descending Mount Everest or along the route to see if there is a better composition.

At this moment, he looks toward the southern slope.

In the southern view, the majestic peaks of Lhotse and Makalu Peak, both with altitudes around 8500 meters, come into view, almost as splendid as Mount Everest.

Extending the view downward, a climbing team ascending from the southern slope is gradually moving.

Seeing them nearing the top, Li Younan quickly sets to work, first to complete some specific shots required by Red Bull.

He launched the drone, reserved for this purpose, capturing several extended shots, and then took out the Red Bull drink kept inside his down jacket lining, drinking it in front of the camera.

Truth be told, he was indeed feeling a bit hungry at the moment, so replenishing some energy felt great.

Next up is the most important task—skiing descent.

Li Younan packs his things, takes out the snowboard.

By now, the vanguard of the team climbing from the southern slope has reached just below the summit.

Li Younan saw their confused faces, so he extended his hand down to give them a hand.

When he stretched his hand, it clearly puzzled the climber, who raised his head with a ghost-seeing expression.

Only then did Li Younan realize this person should be Asian, though not sure if from China.

At this moment, the Sherpa guide nudged him, saying, "Hurry up and climb."

Li Younan chuckled upon hearing this, since Sherpas from Nepal spoke Chinese, evidently this first summit climber was also Chinese.

With Li Younan’s assistance, they smoothly pulled the climber up.

Removing his oxygen mask, the person was instantly teary-eyed, trying to breathe deeply at this altitude, looking at Li Younan with a complex expression: "Did you come up from the northern slope?"

Li Younan nodded.

At this moment, the Sherpa guide yawned and casually sat cross-legged at the summit, taking out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it with a lighter, and smiling casually, saying: "Aren’t you taking photos for the task?"

The Sherpa guide, instead of gasping like the climbers, leisurely smoked.

Seeing this, Li Younan found it a bit absurd, subconsciously took a photo with his camera.

A face full of pain, tears streaming, the Mount Everest climber tightly clutching the oxygen mask; while the Sherpa guide, relaxed, cigarette in hand, even with a indescribable class touch, all framed in the picture.

With a ’ding’ sound, the notification for task completion sounded again, indicating the completion of his Rikaze photo task of capturing 50 master-level photos.

[Task Completed]

[Skill Acquired: Welding]

This skill also received boosts from other skills, upgrading directly to Level 2.

[Welding lv.2: You have broken through the ultimate barriers of materials and environments, with any metal in your hand becoming a fluid molding. High-pressure vacuum of deep sea, extreme temperatures, couldn’t hinder atomic fusion. Your welds restructure the material stress distribution laws, becoming the singular template of perfect connection in industrial testing standards.]

This skill also advanced his Swordsmithing Skill to Level 3.

His mind was filled not only with foundational theoretical knowledge of materials and information knowledge of various equipment and consumables, but also mastered core practical skills himself.

Now he feels he could help weld aircraft carrier decks, or do welding for space stations...

Is space station travel worthwhile?

Thinking randomly for a while, he finally refocused on reality.

Li Younan said: "I took a photo of you earlier, infringing your portrait rights, sorry about that, I’ll compensate you for the portrait copyright expenses."

The Sherpa guide glanced at Li Younan curiously.

A few more climbers arrived, as the summit was crowded and narrow, quite a few people were queuing below, waiting to reach Everest summit for check-in.

Seeing Li Younan as they came up, they noticed his poised snowboard, a single board no less?
