“Zhu Zhu, what’s in your bag?” Yuan Xiao was a little surprised by the huge bag on Meng Zhu’s body. Her petite body looked even more delicate under the huge bag.
“Food. Xiao Xiao, this is your first time climbing a mountain. You’ll know in a while.” Although the backpack on Meng Zhu’s shoulder was heavy, she felt more at ease.
Meng Zhu glanced at the Yue siblings behind her and explained to Yuan Xiao in a low voice, “This mountain-climbing activity was specially instructed by Grandpa Fang. You can’t bring servants or bodyguards with you. You can only climb to the top by yourself. It can be considered Grandpa Fang’s annual test for us juniors.”
Yuan Xiao had heard from Fang Yao that the hiking activity today would be very tiring. Originally, she thought it was purely about physical fatigue, but she did not expect it to have such an intention.
Yuan Xiao originally wanted to ask Meng Zhu some questions, but she heard Fang Ming, who was at the front of the group, say, “There are a total of six of us. We’ll split into three groups and see which group will be the first to find the flag that Grandfather hid.”
Yuan Xiao originally wanted to team up with Meng Zhu, but when he noticed Yue Ping walking towards Fang Yao, she felt a little awkward.
“I’ll be in the same group as you!” Before Yue Ping could reach Fang Yao, Meng Zhu blocked her way and said faintly, “Be more self-aware. Let’s not be third wheels.’
Yue Ping originally wanted to refuse, but Fang Yao had already walked to Yuan Xiao’s side, so she could only give up angrily.
Yuan Xiao saw Meng Zhu wink at her and felt touched that she had taken the initiative to team up with Yue Ping for her sake.
“Let’s go. My brother and Brother Ze have already set off.” Fang Yao naturally held Yuan Xiao’s hand. When he saw Meng Zhu walking slowly behind him, he felt that she was quite kind. In order to fulfill his and Yuan Xiao’s wish, she actually went to such an extent.
With Fang Yao holding her hand, Yuan Xiao quickly distanced herself from Meng Zhu and Yue Ping. She asked worriedly, “Fang Yao, Grandpa Fang doesn’t want the servants and bodyguards to follow us. Will everyone be safe? Especially since Zhu Zhu and Ping Ping are girls.”
“Look up.” Fang Yao pointed to the sky. There were several drones circling in the sky. “Don’t worry. This mountain is almost covered in drone surveillance.
Everyone’s safety can be guaranteed.”
Yuan Xiao nodded. She felt that Grandpa Fang had put in a lot of effort. In order to let everyone train, he had specially not allowed them to take transportation or bring bodyguards to test everyone’s temperament.
[Host, your new mission has been activated!]
A familiar electronic voice sounded in her mind. Yuan Xiao was not surprised at all. This hiking activity was indeed very suitable for credit missions.
[New credit mission: Find three flags. If you successfully complete the mountain climbing mission, you will obtain 100 points!]
Yuan Xiao was very surprised that the system’s mission was exactly the same as the one Grandpa Fang had left behind. This way, she could save some energy.
“Ah Yao, how many small flags has Grandpa Fang prepared?” Yuan Xiao’s gaze had been looking around the forest.
“There are a total of five small flags. The group that obtains the most will win the first place.” Fang Yao did not like to participate in such activities in the past. Most of the time, he would aimlessly wait for time to pass. With his grandfather’s supervision, he had no choice but to participate.
However, this time, Fang Yao wanted to win the competition. After all, Yuan Xiao was with him. Fang Yao did not want Yuan Xiao to be disappointed.
“Is there a reward for the first place?” Yuan Xiao had noticed Meng Zhu’s seriousness just now and felt that the reward provided by Grandpa Fang should be very generous.
“Of course. Grandpa will give each of the first place winners a collectible. If they want anything else, Grandpa will try his best to satisfy everyone.” Although Fang Yao was not interested in these things, he still patiently explained to Yuan Xiao.
“Then let’s work hard.” Even if it was for points, Yuan Xiao was filled with fighting spirit.
Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao walked up the mountain path very quickly, but they did not gain anything.
“Fang Yao, where did you find the flag in the past events?” Yuan Xiao felt a little discouraged that she had not discovered the flag for so long.
When Fang Yao heard Yuan Xiao’s question, he did not know how to answer. After a while, he whispered, “I’ve never found it before. I don’t like this kind of game.”
Yuan Xiao looked at Fang Yao helplessly. She felt that Fang Yao’s previous behavior revealed his rebellion..
