The chirping of birds awakened all the sleeping creatures.

Unlike the desolation of the night, the forest in the early morning was full of the unique vitality of nature. Sunlight filtered through the lush branches and leaves, and fell on the running Alpha, giving his cold and sharp eyes a soft golden edge.

Ling Suyu's mind was filled with everything that had just happened.

When he woke up and opened his eyes, he was met with the peaceful sleeping face of the Omega in his arms. He could hardly restrain his gaze and stared at her for a long time.

After struggling to look away, he hurriedly got up and went for a run before the morning mist had even dissipated.

Upon returning, Ling Suyu stood in front of the thatched hut, calmed his breathing, and pushed the door open to go inside.

Upon hearing the door open, Wen Shumu immediately turned around, and upon seeing who it was, his clear eyes lit up.

"Brother, take a shower first. I just ordered breakfast, it should be delivered by the time you're done showering." Wen Shumu smiled sweetly.

Ling Suyu looked slightly flustered. After responding softly, he quickened his pace and entered the bathroom.

Behind him, Wen Shumu watched Ling Suyu's retreating figure, the light in his eyes gradually fading, becoming inexplicably deep.

My brother just avoided his gaze.

Was it because...they slept intimately together last night?

Wen Shumu unconsciously clenched his fist, his fingertips turning white from the force.

It's okay. At least it shows that Ling Suyu no longer sees him as just an ordinary younger brother.

Breakfast was not included in the accommodation fee for the thatched hut, so they had to pay extra. Fortunately, the two of them had plenty of money, so they didn't have to skimp on food.

While eating breakfast, their devices all received a notification from the program team.

[Kemo: Good morning everyone. We'll meet at the east gate of the famous scenic spot on Fumeng Star—Wazhou Forest Botanical Garden.]

The production team will not provide transportation for them; all guests will need to make their own way there and arrive at the entrance of the botanical garden before 9:00 AM.

Wen Shumu searched for their route to the botanical garden; it wasn't close, and it would take almost half an hour by hovercar.

To ensure the safety of the guests, the production team can provide transportation if needed, so they don't need to find unfamiliar vehicles outside; they will just have to pay for the use.

Someone like Ling Suyu, who requires a special person to conduct an explosion-proof safety check before getting into a car, would never just ride in any outside vehicle.

The hovercar round trip costs 200 credits, and Wen Shumu promptly paid the fee.

A discreet black hovercar drove up, and Heck and the others went forward to inspect it.

Ling Suyu said, "I'll drive."

The production team did not provide them with drivers. Even though self-driving technology is now very advanced, Ling Suyu's long-standing vigilance still made him unable to completely entrust the AI ​​with his life.

Wen Shumu was about to open the back door when he heard Ling Suyu was about to drive, so he immediately turned around and got into the passenger seat.

After fastening his seatbelt, Ling Suyu started the hovercar.

While Wen Shumu appeared to be admiring the scenery, he subtly turned his wrist to the driver's seat and quietly activated the terminal camera.

There's no other reason, it's just that my brother looks so cool when he's driving, I wanted to take a picture!

Noticing Wen Shumu's subtle movements, Ling Suyu showed no reaction on his face, but his hand subtly tugged at his collar, smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes.

And so, Wen Shumu left behind the first photo of Ling Suyu that he had taken himself in the terminal.

When they arrived at the park entrance, it was deserted, without a single visitor. Only the forest-themed gate, matching the color of the trees, stood open to welcome them.

If it weren't for the sign that read "Wazhou Forest Botanical Garden," Wen Shumu would almost have thought the navigation had led him to the wrong place.

"8:55," Ling Suyu said coldly.

The legion has very strict time requirements, and being late will definitely be punished because it means that the progress of the mission will be affected. In addition, Ling Suyu himself is a person with a very strong sense of time, and he has zero tolerance for being late.

With three minutes remaining, a four-wheeled vehicle drove towards them, and Wen Wei and Ye Jingxi got out.

The four-wheeled vehicle is 15 minutes slower than the hovercar, but it's 50 credits cheaper.

As the one-minute countdown began, Kemo and a group of staff walked over to prepare for the live broadcast.

If a guest is late, 200 credits will be deducted per person. Fortunately, the remaining two groups of guests made it in time.

Two bicycles and two electric scooters sped toward the door.

Chu Zhao's pale face flushed red from exercise, and her legs trembled as she got off the bus.

Although he is an Alpha, he spends all day indoors and lacks exercise. Pedaling on a bicycle for so long has left him exhausted.

After receiving the notification from the production team, Ludwig chose the cheapest bicycle, while Chuzhao originally wanted to pay extra to upgrade to an electric scooter.

Who knew that Ludwig would mock him for being physically weak and unable to ride a bicycle, which angered Chu Zhao so much that he ordered two bicycles directly.

The two rode around chasing each other for an hour, and were still overtaken by the Jiang brothers' electric scooter on the road.

Chu Zhao picked up the mirror she carried with her to make sure her appearance was neat enough before walking over and standing with the other guests.

He happened to be standing next to Ling Suyu and seized the opportunity to ask, "Did you bring Lie Bing?"

This is a rhetorical question; Ling Suyu must always carry his own mecha with him.

"I brought it."

"That's perfect. I'll check it for you another time," Chu Zhao said.

By the way, let that brat Ludwig see for himself just how amazing a 3S-class mech is!

Hearing their conversation, Wen Shumu glanced at Ling Suyu curiously.

He had never seen a mecha in real life before, and he only knew the name "Crack Ice" from the news.

Ke Mo cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to the room.

The camera flew over, pointed at the guests, and the live broadcast officially began.

Ke Mo gestured for staff to come forward and distribute four booklets to the four groups of guests.

Wen Shumu took it and flipped through it. The first few pages were all tourist guides for the botanical garden, but the last page only listed five place names, with large gaps between each name.

Komo said, "If you look closely at this travel guide, you'll find that the last five place names are the five iconic attractions within the park. The production team will stamp each attraction after you visit it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hong opened the map on the first page and carefully compared it with the map. He then said with mixed feelings, "These five attractions are too far apart."

Jiang Xun put his hands in his hoodie pockets. Despite being a handsome man, he looked listless and somewhat dejected.

He told his younger brother, "It's okay, go back to sleep if you're tired."

Jiang Hong: "..."

Does his brother even have any sense of being a celebrity on camera? What happened to his positive, sunny, hardworking, and inspiring persona?

Wen Shumu was also looking at the map. Four of the five attractions were located in the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west), and one was located in the very center. The distances between the attractions were roughly the same.

The botanical garden is so big that if you don't take the shuttle bus and just walk, it would probably take more than half an hour to walk between each attraction.

That's considered fast.

"Today is Interstellar Sports Day," said Komo. "To celebrate, all shuttle buses in the park are suspended. We hope everyone will get moving and enjoy this rare hiking experience."

Everyone: "..."

Ke Mo smiled and said, "Of course we won't let everyone work for nothing. Not only will you be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the production team will also provide 2000 credits as a reward after you check in at all the attractions within the specified time. The first group to complete the check-in will also have one night's accommodation fee waived."

The penniless Chu Zhao immediately became stern, glancing sideways at Ludwig: "I told you not to ride a bicycle; you wasted all your energy on the road."

Ludwig's expression wasn't good either, but he still maintained a polite smile: "I don't feel like I've used up too much energy. Is Senior Brother already exhausted?"

Chu Zhao sneered, "Don't forget we have to work together. If I can't manage, you'll have to carry me back?"

Ludwig choked for a moment, and was about to speak when he heard Marshal Ling whisper to his wife, "No need to be stubborn, we don't lack these 2000 credits."

Chu Zhao and Ludwig: "..."

They're terrible!!!
