Chapter 1050: Chapter 496: Reaching the Summit

"What do you plan to do?"

Xia Hongyao sat on the steps.

The temperature difference was significant. Given the rate it was dropping, it might freeze someone into a cold after dark.

Facing Gu Qingqiu’s suggestion, Lin Baici shrugged indifferently. Although the day had been tough, it was no problem for him aside from being a bit too sunny.

It couldn’t be helped, Lin Baici’s physical fitness was just too formidable.

Similarly, High Ponytail didn’t find it tough either, just boring.

"You and Red Medicine go first!"

Gu Qingqiu proposed, "With your physical condition, you can quickly rush to the top of the tower. If you make it through, maybe we can take advantage, go directly to the top, and skip the climbing!"

"This is a good idea!"

Hua Yue Yu thought Gu Qingqiu’s mind worked fast but then worried, "But what if it doesn’t work?"

Climbing the tower was tiresome, but more than exhaustion, Little Merperson was afraid of being separated from Lin Baici.

"Yeah, what if it doesn’t work? If we encounter monsters, we’ll have to fend for ourselves!"

Gu Qingqiu’s voice wasn’t soft, so those below heard him too, leading Ai Xuri to immediately comment. In his view, being with Lin Baici, the strongest, was the safest.

"I think, let Examiner Xia and this Examiner Yang go first!"

Ai Xuri glared at his sister, signaling her to speak.

"Shut your mouth!"

Ai Xuyue rolled her eyes. Did he not realize what his place was?

Did he think these examiners would listen to him?

Besides, Red Medicine and Lin Baici were close. How could he possibly let her take risks alone?

"This is a good idea!"

Zhang Hao agreed.

"I’m so bad I’ll only slow Red Medicine down!"

Yang Zhi didn’t want to go and self-deprecatingly said so.

"Red Medicine, what do you think?"

Zhang Hao ignored Yang Zhi. Whether this person went or not didn’t matter; it all depended on High Ponytail’s opinion.

"I’ll listen to Little Linzi and Crazy Qingqiu!"

Xia Hongyao’s biggest strength was her self-awareness. With Lin Baici and Gu Qingqiu around, she never made decisions on her own.

Of course, Xiong Da was also a strength.

"Crazy?"

Gu Qingqiu was stunned: "Qingqiu?"

"Ha ha!"

Xia Hongyao inwardly cursed, having slipped up. She quickly fanned the air with her hand to change the subject: "It’s much cooler now!"

"Don’t panic, I like the nickname!"

Gu Qingqiu grinned sweetly.

"Really? Ha ha, I knew it! My nicknames are always spot on, absolutely apt!"

Xia Hongyao, momentarily stunned, then smugly raised her eyebrows at Lin Baici and Hua Yue Yu: "Right? Little Linzi! Little Merperson?"

"..."

Ai Xuri watched Xia Hongyao and the others chat and joke around, feeling annoyed and wanting to curse, "We’re in a critical situation, can you take it seriously?"

Ai Xuyue, on the other hand, thought the team’s atmosphere was great. If she performed well in this assessment and got recruited by the Security Bureau, she would like to join this team.

"Make a decision!"

Xia Hongyao signaled Lin Baici to come up with a plan.

[No use, you can only climb the Sky-reaching Tower on your own!]

[If you don’t reach the top in seven days, you will suddenly die when the time’s up!]

[However, eating certain combinations of fruits can produce different effects.]

[Durian + Avocado + Passion Fruit + Lemon, after eating these, you will be directly transported to the top of the tower.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Baici’s expression shifted, and though pleasure flickered across his eyes, he restrained his emotions.

Luckily, he had the Eater God’s commentary, otherwise, being someone who disliked durian, he would never have discovered this combination.

[Watermelon + Cherry + Grape + Strawberry, after eating these, you will be transported to the bottom of the tower!]

Lin Baici’s heart skipped a beat. This combination consisted of tasty fruits that many people might accidentally try, so there was a high chance of being transported down.

That would be a shock!

But it didn’t matter; being transported would let people know that eating certain fruits could have specific effects, encouraging everyone to try.

"Let’s climb the tower first!"

Lin Baici was no longer in a hurry: "We’ll talk after the next round of fruits!"

"Alright!"

Gu Qingqiu respected Lin Baici’s opinion, and somehow, watching the shift from contemplation to calmness in his demeanor, she felt he might have discovered something critical.

What didn’t I notice?

Gu Qingqiu recalled seriously, everything that had happened since they started climbing the tower.

Lin Baici didn’t know that his subtle facial expressions could spark such guesses in Gu Qingqiu.

As night fell and the weather cooled, everyone felt more comfortable and energized to climb, but after an hour, the initial surge of energy faded and their pace slowed.

"Miaomiao, aren’t you tired?"

Fang Mingyuan rested his right hand on his knee, gasping for breath.

"I’m okay!"

Long Miaomiao licked her lips: "Just hungry, which is unbearable!"

"..."

Fang Mingyuan, looking at Little Fatty Sister’s physique, felt she should have been exhausted by now, which showed that God Hunters indeed had incredibly strong constitutions, overshadowing even top athletes.

He looked up at the twin siblings ahead who also seemed to have spare energy.

"Damn, it seems I’m the weakest!"

Fang Mingyuan was frustrated. He kept pushing on, unaware of how much time had passed until he finally heard Lin Baici order a rest.

Thump!

Fang Mingyuan plopped down on the steps.

"Hold on, once we’re out of God’s ruins, I’ll treat you to a big meal!"

Long Miaomiao encouraged.

"How can I let a girl pay?" Fang Mingyuan smiled generously: "I’ll pay!"
