By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 266 Five Level 3 Skills! [Two-in-One]

Li Younan had brought a handheld radio with him. After telling Liu Li and Zhizhi, he continued climbing.

As altitude increases and the air thins, the power and battery life of drones suffer significant degradation.

Although the drone that Li Younan bought is among the top-of-the-line consumer-grade drones, it is still not up to professional or industrial standards.

The summit of Galongla Snow Mountain is over 5 meters above sea level, making it somewhat difficult for the drone to fly, but it still managed to keep up.

In fact, once you arrive here, you're not far from the summit.

As you climb higher, the mountain is covered with ice and snow and glaciers all year round, with snow piles so thick you can't see the bottom.

Li Younan then chose a relatively solid spot on the glacier to climb up, starting from the front ridge and working his way up to the side ridgeline, where he reached the saddle.

The slope has become much gentler at this point. Continuing up the ridgeline, you can reach the summit in about a few hundred meters.

Looking down from the top, Li Younan saw an ice lake formed by melting snow and ice on the mountaintop.

If he remembers correctly, this was the first Heavenly Lake he saw after entering the snow area.

The Heavenly Lake below is composed of two or three small lakes, and the water displays three different colors: tea-green, yellow, and milky white, which is very beautiful.

In high spirits, Li Younan continued climbing towards the top.

It has to be said that over the years, there have been people who have hiked up Galongla Snow Mountain and others who have driven up along the old road, but almost no one has ever been heard of climbing to the summit.

On the one hand, the altitude of this place is not high, so it is not enough for mountaineering enthusiasts to make a name for themselves in history; on the other hand, the snow and glaciers on the mountain are too thick, making the climb quite difficult.

The snow on the mountaintop has been frozen solid. The lower layers of frozen snow are estimated to be many years old, while the glaciers on the mountaintop may be tens of thousands of years old.

Overall, climbing up from here is easier than climbing Gongga Snow Mountain, as the slope is not as steep.

Looking down from the summit, one can see a clear blue sky to the north, where they came from, with alpine meadows covered in vibrant wildflowers that contrast beautifully with the snow-covered landscape, creating a truly spectacular sight.

Li Younan took a few photos with her phone.

About half an hour later, Li Younan successfully climbed Galongla Snow Mountain, and the drone that had been following him slowly rose from below, capturing the scene.

Li Younan didn't shout loudly, but simply waved at the drone.

The Galongla Snow Mountain is a meeting point of the warm and humid air currents from the Indian Ocean and the cold and high-altitude air currents from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the north. The scenery that can be seen here is very magnificent: the south side of the mountain pass is shrouded in clouds and mist, while the north side is clear and sunny. The two different climate air currents in the sky come into contact in a tangible way, and the meeting point can even be seen with the naked eye.

In such a landscape, humanity seems so insignificant.

Li Younan rested for a while, took a few more photos with his phone, and then went downstairs.

After arriving here, he was no longer worried about the negative impact of the avalanche.

The avalanche originally collapsed from a higher mountain, but after coming up, Li Younan was able to further investigate the potential risks of the snow accumulation on the mountaintop and found that there should be no secondary avalanche for at least the short term, which was an unexpected gain.

Going up the mountain is easy, but going down is difficult; it took even longer to get down.

When I got back into the car, it was already around three or four in the afternoon.

For a mountaineer of Li Younan's caliber, watching him climb mountains in videos gives a sense of ease and security, and this feeling spreads, making viewers feel at ease and secure even when they are trapped in an avalanche at the foot of the mountain.

After Li Younan came down, Liu Li immediately jumped over and hugged him.

My lovely girlfriend is becoming more and more proactive.

……

On the sixth day of being trapped, the snow from the avalanche had melted down by 20 to 30 centimeters, but this also made the area below even more frozen.

At that moment, the rescue team finally arrived.

The rescue teams that came up also faced great risks.

When they saw the avalanche at the top of the mountain, they all gasped in shock—the entire road had vanished.

They then found Li Younan's car at the bottom of a mountain ravine off the main road.

To make it easier for rescue teams to find him, Li Younan specially hung a Chinese national flag in a conspicuous high place.

When the rescue team found Li Younan's car, they were all stunned.

They looked up at the mountaintop, then at the highway, and then at the steep, unpaved slope that had rushed up from there…

It was truly astonishing that Li Younan's car was completely unharmed—this meant that in the extremely short time that the avalanche occurred, Li Younan had anticipated that the avalanche would collapse, and then made a very calm decision in an instant to drive the car here, perfectly avoiding the avalanche.

What incredible mental fortitude it takes to do that?

On either side of the ridge lies the thickest part of the avalanche that has rolled down.

In that situation, an ordinary person's mind would definitely be in chaos.

Moreover, apart from people who have lived in such places for a long time, very few people from the mainland would have had close contact with avalanches.

It is very difficult for people to make correct judgments about the unknown. However, despite this, the young man in front of us made the most correct decision. He was decisive, calm and wise. This was the most direct impression of the rescue team that came up.

When they arrived, the weather had cleared up, so Li Younan and his group set up a table in the open space between Unimog and Zhizhi's small POLO and cooked beef hot pot.

The weary rescue team members had mixed feelings upon seeing this scene.

Before they came up, the leaders repeatedly instructed them to quickly carry out rescue operations to ensure the safety of tourists and the public on the mountaintop, but they never expected to see such a scene. Li Younan even warmly invited them to come over for hot pot.

Rebel against Tiangang?

They were too embarrassed to take out the compressed biscuits and bottled water they brought.

So... he shyly snuggled up to Li Younan and had a hearty meal.

This rescue team was the advance force that came up. The original plan was to check on Li Younan and the others' physical condition and then transport some food, medicine and other supplies.

However, after visiting Li Younan's Unimog, they discovered that not only did he eat better than their rescue team, but his vehicle also had a 24-hour oxygen generator.

These oxygen concentrators are usually provided in better hotels to maintain the oxygen content in the space at a low altitude.

In short, the rescued people were living more comfortably than they had imagined.

Where can you go to reason with this?
After waiting for about two more days, the engineering vehicles cleared the obstacles along the way, and the workers swept and shoveled snow, finally managing to reopen the road.

When Li Younan and his group drove their car back onto the highway, the snow piled up on both sides of the road was over a meter thick, making driving through it feel like walking on an ice wall.

But in any case, we can finally drive down the mountain.

……

When they met up with the rescue and highway maintenance teams below, even a reporter came up to interview Li Younan.

He was in very good spirits and expressed his sincere gratitude to the rescue workers in front of the camera.

This wasn't just polite talk; you have to understand that during the time he was trapped on the mountain, despite the high difficulty of the rescue, the rescue team continued to try to contact him without interruption.

In other words, Li Younan kept saying that he was fine on the mountain because he was concerned about the safety of the rescuers. Otherwise, the rescue team would probably have had to hike up the mountain to rescue them a day or two before the disaster.

After a brief chat with the local staff, Li Younan set off again, while the staff continued their work up the mountain to clear the road.

Li Younan's car was in front, and Zhizhi's car was following behind.

These past few days, Zhizhi's car has been parked at the bottom of the mountain valley. She had disconnected the power beforehand, and there haven't been any problems.

The congested section is actually only about ten kilometers long; you'll be fine once you get past it.

Along the way, Li Younan saw many collapsed rocks cleared to the side of the road. Some sections of the road were even without cement, unpaved sections formed by mudslides that occurred some time ago, with streams flowing over them.

For Unimog, such a road posed no obstacle whatsoever. The later branches were more difficult to navigate, but fortunately, they managed to get through this extremely challenging section without any major incidents.

Then came a smooth road.

Because of the two-in-one-out policy, there were no oncoming vehicles along the way, and after being stuck in traffic for so long, with no vehicles coming from behind, only these two vehicles were traveling on the entire highway.

The road becomes narrower as you go down, and the vegetation transitions from coniferous forests to broad-leaved forests.

Li Younan finally understood why there was a one-way traffic restriction here: the road was just too narrow, and there were many places where two cars simply couldn't travel in opposite directions.

The scenery along the way changed dramatically, from tropical rainforests to the Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon, and even banana groves appeared.

After several hours of driving, the car finally arrived at its destination – Motuo.

Medog is the county with the lowest altitude in the entire snow region, with the lowest elevation being only over 700 meters. Moreover, it is located in a subtropical climate.

Along the way, he experienced all four seasons in a single day, and driving on this road, Li Younan couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

When the car arrived at the outskirts of the county, the check-in task was successfully completed.

[Check-in complete]

[Gained skill: Surfing]

[Due to the host's existing skills in skiing, parkour, and rock climbing, surfing skill +LV.2]

[Surfing LV.3: You have achieved the perfect harmony between man, surfboard, and ocean.]

Then comes the much-anticipated process of acquiring skills.

Li Younan, who used to be a landlubber, has acquired two sea-related skills in succession amidst the high-altitude mountains.

He stopped the car and sat down to quietly absorb the effects of his surfing skills.

It's important to understand that this is another top-tier Level 3 skill. Once he reaches this level, he becomes the strongest player in history, and his understanding of surfing reaches an astonishing level.

Furthermore, this surfing skill is not just about physical improvement.

First and foremost is the ability to interpret the ocean.

In fact, this ability is the most powerful part of this skill. Li Younan can now read the waves like reading an open book, predicting how a wave will curl up in a few seconds and knowing at which point it will reach the perfect critical state.

This ability stems from his almost instinctive and profound understanding of tides, ocean currents, seabed topography, and sea breezes, which his skills have given him.

In fact, no top surfer in the world has Li Younan's reading ability.

Only with this ability can one achieve elegant control over the destructive power of the ocean.

When he goes surfing, time seems to slow down in his eyes. Every slight adjustment, every push of a toe, every shift of his center of gravity allows him to maintain composure and balance at the throat of a giant wave.

This is the ultimate manifestation of his skills after he added several body control abilities.

Surfing is the art of walking on the edge of chaos, dancing on collapsing sea cliffs.

After fully digesting this skill, Li Younan sighed slightly: "System, you're tempting me."

Why do people in the high-altitude mountains always acquire these ocean-related skills?

With his previous swimming skills, his current surfing skills, and even his earlier deep-sea bloodline skills... it seems he'll definitely be heading out to sea for a spin.

This skill also has the effect of enhancing other skills that Li Younan previously acquired.

With the boost from his surfing skills, his skiing, parkour, rock climbing, and mechanical center of gravity manipulation skills have all reached level three!
In other words, Li Younan now has five more level-three skills related to physical fitness, in addition to the three skills related to painting he already had!
[Snowboarding Skill LV.3: You have completely broken through the ultimate barriers of gravity and terrain. Snow-capped mountains become flowing paintings, and storms become tamed steeds. Every leap will be frozen into an eternal totem of winter sports. The skiing paradigm you pioneered will rewrite humanity's understanding of limits. All future skiers will spend their entire lives trying to replicate a single fleeting moment of your performance.]

[Parkour Skill LV.3: The physics of cities and wilderness completely fail before you. Your movement trajectory becomes a continuous spatiotemporal fold that transcends human visual perception; all buildings, ravines, and cliffs transform into smooth planes. Future history books will define every inch of land you traverse as a "living legend of instantaneous physical teleportation."]

[Climbing Skill LV.3: Sheer cliffs melt into flowing gravel at your fingertips, vertical icefalls and inverted domes are merely steps to stretch your limbs. Every handprint you leave will give rise to a new school of geology, and the history of climbing will be divided into "before you" and "after you"—because no one in the future will dare to assert "this place is unclimbable."]

[Mechanical Center of Gravity Manipulator LV.3: Your resonance with machinery has transcended the boundaries of matter. Any two-wheeled vehicle under your control will unleash a vitality that defies the laws of physics; your speeding tracks can transform thunderstorms into gentle neon lights; wherever your afterimages reach, new extreme sports meccas will be born; for the next century, no one will be able to approach even one-tenth of the distance of your tire tracks.]

The enhancement is too exaggerated.

Just as Li Younan was in a daze, Liu Li looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Li Younan snapped out of his daze, pointed to the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and said with a smile, "Look, this is a tropical rainforest, but you can still look up at snow-capped mountains. Isn't that amazing?"

Liu Li looked in the direction Li Younan was pointing. Indeed, being in the tropics yet able to look up at snow-capped mountains was a truly amazing experience. She nodded earnestly, "Yes, it's amazing!"

……

Having arrived here, it's time to say goodbye to Zhizhi.

Of course, "goodbye" here only means that Zhizhi no longer needs to live in the RV. Not only is it inconvenient, but she also feels embarrassed to continue living there.

However, we temporarily formed a small convoy to stay in Motuo for a few days before returning along the same route to the 318 highway.

There are many places worth visiting in Medog, so they plan to stay here for at least two days before returning to the 318 highway on their next trip.

Over the next two days, the three of them strolled around the attractions near Medog, including Guoguotang, the Great Bend, Tiger Mouth Waterfall, Miri Village, Medog Village, Renqinbeng Temple, and the historical and cultural heritage of the Medog Monpa and Lhoba ethnic groups.

In the evening, Zhizhi went back to the hotel to rest, while Li Younan and Liu Li didn't need to, so they parked their car in a nearby parking lot and rested in the RV.

To be fair, hotels aren't as comfortable as RVs, and RVs are definitely cleaner.

This area is subtropical, so there are a lot of mosquitoes. Even though we were very careful when we entered, a few mosquitoes still managed to sneak into the RV.

At this point, the laser cannon that his friends had arranged for him came in handy.

Of course, some people worry that oxygen generators may explode, but there is really no need to worry.

In fact, many hotels on the plateau are equipped with this type of oxygen generator. The oxygen it outputs only slightly increases the oxygen concentration in spaces that are already far below normal levels, far from reaching the concentration required for a deflagration.

Even if you hold a lighter to the oxygen outlet of the oxygen concentrator and light it, you'll only see small blue sparks flickering.

This laser cannon has undergone extensive training and can even detect whether there is textile material where mosquitoes land.

This was also Li Younan's first time using this mosquito laser cannon. He found it very interesting and recorded it.

Before going to bed that night, Liu Yu called and confronted Li Younan, demanding an explanation.

Because she was trapped on the mountain, Liu Yu couldn't get through to Liu Li or Li Younan by phone.

At that moment, Li Younan's phone rang even before Liu Li's.

Liu Yu seemed surprised that the call actually went through. She paused for a moment, then heard Liu Yu's angry voice: "What are you doing? Why is it always showing 'out of service area'?"

Before Li Younan could speak, Liu Li jumped up, snatched the phone, and said to her brother, "Brother, don't be mean to him. Speak nicely and gently."

Liu Li's few words instantly silenced Liu Yu's anger: "I was just worried about you guys."

Liu Li explained quite frankly, "We encountered a traffic jam on the way and stayed in a place without signal for a while."

"Oh, I see. Where are you now?"

"We are in Motuo now."

After a brief chat, Liu Yu confirmed that Li Younan and her sister were safe before hanging up the phone.

Then, Liu Li stuck out her tongue at Li Younan and said, "Don't blame him, he's just worried about me."

The next important task is to edit the video.

This experience was terrifying, but Li Younan hesitated to make and release the video, because Liu Yu would see it and be furious if he knew that he and Liu Li had almost been buried by an avalanche.

Therefore, Li Younan handed over the decision-making power to Liu Li.

Liu Li remained calm about this, saying, "It's okay, my brother will find out sooner or later anyway, and we're safe now, aren't we? This time I'm going to make you an incredibly cool video."

Liu Li had already edited most of the footage while she was on the mountain, so after adding today's material, the video was completed in no time.

He sent the message to Liu Yu and asked him to handle the business operations. Sure enough, Liu Yu's old and new grudges erupted at the same time, and he called to talk to Li Younan for a long time.

In order not to damage the relationship between the siblings, Li Younan silently went outside the RV to answer the phone, letting the other person scold him for about twenty minutes.

Liu Yu finally calmed down and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I was a little emotional, but I hope you can understand. After all, she is my last and only family member in the world."

Li Younan understood, but still didn't reveal his relationship with Liu Li to him. In Li Younan's opinion, it was better for Liu Li to tell him herself.

But Liu Yu, despite his talkativeness, is actually quite efficient and reliable when it comes to getting things done.

This video was sure to go viral, bringing Li Younan a 100 million yuan offer, with a 20-second advertisement inserted in the middle.

Now Li Younan wants to make money again.

After spending the previous ten million in cash on buying a house and renovating his Unimog motorhome, he only had five or six million left.

This amount is certainly something that ordinary people would find difficult to earn in a long time, but Li Younan now has a new goal: he wants to go to sea and buy a ship that he can drive, all of which require money.

After this trip is over, perhaps I should seriously consider it.

Just as they finished their trip to Motuo, returned to Bomi, and retraced their steps on the 318 National Highway, the video was finally uploaded.

And sure enough, the video went viral immediately.

The opening sequence features several explosive clips: footage of an avalanche captured by surveillance cameras on Unimog, footage of Li Younan climbing the snow-capped mountain, and footage of looking up at the snow-capped mountain from the rainforest, immediately setting the stage for a high-octane spectacle.

Then the main story begins, starting with the preparation of supplies before Bomi officially enters the Zamo Highway. The overall narrative style is leisurely and relaxed.

The rest of the meal was lunch at the tunnel entrance. While passing through the tunnel, Li Younan explained to the camera that avalanches frequently occur on this highway, and this segment was also included in the clip.

Unexpectedly, the words came true. Shortly after passing through the tunnel, the next scene showed rocks rolling down from the mountaintop.

Next came footage of an avalanche.

When the avalanche struck, Li Younan, with his exaggerated foresight and decisive decision-making, led his companions to perfectly avoid it.

A long shot pulled up by a drone afterward, accompanied by epic music, provided a panoramic view of the apocalyptic scene following the avalanche.

At this point, the video had reached its climax, but unexpectedly, the tone shifted dramatically. After Li Younan made contact with the rescuers below, he started a leisurely camping life on the mountain, thanks to his powerful doomsday fortress. Even the background music changed to light and relaxing background music.

The scene after the catastrophic avalanche actually became somewhat endearing.

After a period of such a calm pace, the video reached another climax as Li Younan climbed the mountain to overcome danger.

The video reached its second climax after the drone captured footage of Li Younan clearing the obstacles.

However, on this basis, Li Younan casually uttered, "Since we're already here," and then looked up at the mountaintop.

The video then montages several challenging shots of Li Younan's climb, showing him ascending to the summit. A drone rises from below and pulls out a long shot, giving the impression that even the Galongla Snow Mountain is nothing special and that he easily conquered it.

The entire video is over 20 minutes long. The last few minutes show Li Younan waiting for the rescue team, setting off again, traveling through all four seasons, arriving in Motuo, and finally ending abruptly in front of the camera looking up at the snow-capped mountains in the tropical rainforest.

Once the video was released, it quickly garnered tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even approached a million likes.

The comments section was filled with exclamations of surprise, and Li Younan's line, "Since we're already here," became a brand new internet meme.

After Li Younan posted the video, he didn't pay attention to it anymore. He planned to rest for a day and then continue along the 318 highway.

It's evening again.

After Zhizhi left, the bed they slept in was moved from the sofa to a lift bed.

After all, a lift bed is more comfortable.

In this way, the booth seating doesn't have to be put away every day.

However, Longmei didn't want to go to bed early today. She was studying a junior high school math book diligently in her booth.

Li Younan leaned over and took a look. Long Mei immediately covered the tutoring book in embarrassment... It seemed that in her opinion, tutoring junior high school math was a shameful thing.

Li Younan found it somewhat amusing, and just then, the radio, which he had forgotten to tune back to, began broadcasting a reminder.

"Recently, two incidents of Tibetan bears attacking tourists have occurred in our city. Tourists are advised to pay attention to their personal safety and not to linger in the wild! If you encounter wild animals, please do not feed or provoke them. If you encounter any dangerous situations, please contact the relevant departments immediately. The phone number is: xxxxxxxx."
