Upon arriving at the office, Qu Yong asked Chen Wen about some intel regarding Qiangtang.
Chen Wen responded fluently, further satisfying Qu Yong.
He gestured to Chen Wen to take a look at a stack of documents on the table: "Here’s some information I prepared in advance for you. Take a look, it might come in handy."
Chen Wen gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Qu, your data has many more details than others, it will definitely be useful."
Qu Yong chuckled: "Glad to be of assistance."
After chatting a bit, Qu Yong continued: "The favor you asked me to help with before has been handled. You can check it out when you get to your room."
Upon hearing this, Chen Wen’s eyes lit up: "Okay, you’ve helped me a lot with this. I’ll go check it out now."
After receiving the room key from Qu Yong, Chen Wen quickly walked towards his room.
Soon, when Chen Wen opened the door.
With a cry, a large Golden Eagle suddenly lunged towards Chen Wen.
Chen Wen swiftly dodged the eagle’s lunge.
"Hey! How are you so quick!"
The Golden Eagle, having missed Chen Wen, couldn’t help but exclaim.
Chen Wen grinned, with all my stats maxed out, if you could catch me, then I really wouldn’t stand a chance.
Inside the room was the Golden Eagle Chen Wen had trained.
This time, Chen Wen chose to bring it as a tool to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
"How’s the environment here? Are you adapting well?"
Chen Wen extended his arm, reinforcing his skin with stats, allowing the Golden Eagle to perch on his arm.
The Golden Eagle happily flapped its wings, a gust of wind plastering Chen Wen’s face: "I’m adapting, the environment here isn’t much different from my home."
Hearing this, Chen Wen felt reassured.
He recalled the place where he met the Golden Eagle, located on a mountain in Yukon.
The environment there is quite similar to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Because of this, Chen Wen chose the Golden Eagle to assist him.
Its large body isn’t afraid of the birds of prey on the plateau, and it’s familiar with the environment, able to provide aerial support.
Moreover, the Golden Eagle and Chen Wen share a deep understanding, working seamlessly.
It can also be a great help in hunting.
Chen Wen let the Golden Eagle rest on a perch in the room and then opened the documents Qu Yong had prepared, studying them carefully.
...
Three days later, as other competitors arrived at the surveillance base one after another.
Qu Yong sent a notification to Chen Wen, asking him to participate in the pre-challenge draw.
The rules of the Mountain Extreme Challenge differ from the Desert Extreme Challenge.
Here, competitors must draw lots to choose their starting point.
Each competitor’s starting point varies; for some, it might be like heaven from the start, while for others, it might be hell.
Therefore, the pre-challenge draw is extremely important.
Chen Wen specifically activated the stat to increase his luck and put on a newly crafted Lucky Charm.
After boosting his luck.
Chen Wen walked towards the drawing room.
Opening the door, the competitors and staff in the drawing room looked up at Chen Wen.
Chen Wen showed a friendly smile: "Good morning, everyone."
A person with somewhat dark skin but a friendly demeanor nodded towards Chen Wen and said in accented Chinese: "Mr. Chen, I’ve heard much about you!"
Chen Wen recognized this person; he’s Nepal’s seeded competitor and team captain, a Sherpa, Nuo Bu.
Nuo Bu continued: "I’m Nuo Bu, I hope we can coexist harmoniously in this survival challenge."
Chen Wen nodded and said: "Mr. Nuo Bu, I’ve heard of your feats as well, you’re quite a formidable competitor."
After exchanging courteous compliments.
Nuo Bu continued: "By the way, these are my team members, they are..."
After meeting the people around Nuo Bu, Chen Wen then looked at the group sitting next to Nuo Bu.
These five are Australia’s second team.
The leading person was somewhat familiar with Dennis; a few days ago, he had contacted Chen Wen through Dennis to express goodwill and interest in cooperation.
Although Chen Wen trusts Dennis greatly, he did not enter a cooperative agreement with Australia’s second team.
He only reached an agreement with the team leader, Jon, that they wouldn’t invade or attack each other.
Jon is a competitor who has completed two challenges, namely the Desert Extreme Challenge and the Forest Extreme Challenge.
He’s tall and skilled in archery hunting.
Moreover, according to Dennis, Jon has a talent unknown to others—horse training.
He’s a well-known private horse trainer.
Sitting opposite the Australian competitors is the United Kingdom’s second team.
This group hasn’t interacted with Chen Wen.
Their team leader is named Bao Wen, an ominous-looking person.
He doesn’t give Chen Wen a good feeling.
Feeling Bao Wen’s gaze, Chen Wen felt like he was being stared at by a venomous snake.
This isn’t an easy person to deal with.
He has completed two challenges: the Forest Extreme Challenge and the Swamp Extreme Challenge.
According to the information, Bao Wen has served in special forces before and had worked as a hunting guide for more than a year before participating in wilderness survival.
Chen Wen sat beside the Nepal team, and upon seeing Chen Wen’s location, Nuo Bu came over to him.
He spoke softly to Chen Wen while waiting for the Indian Team to arrive.
About ten minutes later, the Indian Team arrived leisurely.
Once the Indian Team entered, Nuo Bu stopped speaking to Chen Wen and fixated his gaze on the man leading them.
Chen Wen looked over too, and then his expression also became... slightly tense.
The leader of the Indian Team is Vikram.
This is a very dangerous person.
He looks muscular, unlike the stereotypical image of dark, skinny, somewhat sleazy Indians.
Vikram is sturdy, somewhat tall, and although his skin is dark, it’s not naturally dark but rather the kind of darkness left by years of outdoor life.
Just a glance can distinguish him from the four typical Indians behind him.
Plus, Vikram’s aura is distinctly different.
He gave Chen Wen a feeling akin to that of a wild beast.
It’s a rather confident, flamboyant yet dangerous vibe.
This guy is something!
Chen Wen silently thought.
Upon entering, Vikram scanned the room with an intensely aggressive gaze, momentarily pausing on Nuo Bu before fixing his stare on Chen Wen.
Chen Wen stood his ground, decisively activating the stat [Status Suppression].
The terrifying oppressive force instantly enveloped Vikram.
The previously arrogant Vikram suddenly acted like a wolf facing a tiger, instantly tucking his tail.
Sweat beads quickly formed on his forehead.
However, Vikram’s willpower was strong; after a moment, he forced a smile and said: "I’m Vikram, very pleased to meet you all."
Bao Wen from the United Kingdom squad squeezed out a smile: "Vikram, long time no see."
Vikram nodded toward him.
Jon and Nuo Bu both exchanged simple pleasantries with Vikram.
However, Nuo Bu seemed to have old grievances with Vikram; their faces were stiff as they spoke.
Finally, Chen Wen nodded at Vikram and calmly said: "Chen Wen, I believe you already know me."
Vikram recalled Chen Wen’s previous glare, sensing a threat capable of endangering his life from it!
Confronting someone like this, Vikram became extremely vigilant: "Yes, indeed, I’ve read your profile, Mr. Chen Wen, you’re very powerful. I hope we can cooperate in this survival challenge."
After speaking, Vikram sat next to the United Kingdom’s second team.
