Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Successfully Triggered Rare Task, Heading to the True Perilous Area!

"Treasure Hunting Task Completed."

"Reward acquired: Random Life Skill: Master of PowerPoint."

"Host mastered the ability to make PowerPoint presentations."

Upon seeing the panel notification, Xu Yang was completely stunned.

What the heck?

The ability to make PowerPoint presentations?

Wait, I’m a boss, why would I need PowerPoint skills?

Is this even a life skill?

Isn’t this a worker’s skill?

This is ridiculous!

Xu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The reward level of the Kunlun Mountain Treasure Hunting Task was decent, being a life skill.

But Xu Yang was unlucky, not getting a good random skill.

PowerPoint is generally useful for reports or teaching, but even when he taught at Agricultural University, it was all hands-on courses, no need for PowerPoint.

It was absurd.

Even more absurd than the last "Master of Knitting."

Useless skills +1

Anyway, having more skills doesn’t hurt, and learning it won’t affect anything.

Xu Yang always had a good attitude, so he quickly calmed down.

Then, Xu Yang began to admire the Light Purple Golden Lotus in front of him.

The scenery feels different when in a different mood, he had been too focused on the task before and hadn’t had the chance to appreciate the beauty of the Light Purple Golden Lotus.

Now looking at it again, the feeling was completely different.

Deeper in the mountains of Kunlun, the valley wasn’t so dry, in the distance there was a small river and a shallow lake.

This area had many plants, including a large patch of rare Light Purple Golden Lotus flowers.

The online friends were very surprised, especially those who knew about flowers, they found it shocking.

"It’s unbelievable, usually seeing two Light Purple Golden Lotus flowers is rare, but he saw a whole patch!"

"What a treasure place this is!"

"While the Light Purple Golden Lotus is hard to find, it is not as rare as the Tianshan Snow Lotus, but having such a large patch bloom is uncommon!"

"Old Xu really knows where to find great spots!"

Everyone quietly appreciated the beautiful scenery in the live stream.

After watching for a while, Xu Yang called Little Black and the small Tibetan antelope to move forward.

There was a pond ahead, the two little ones drank water and rested by the lake.

The small Tibetan antelope seemed much better, it had apparently forgotten the events of last night.

Young age, short memory.

It’s probably for the best.

Forgetting some things can indeed lead to a happier life.

The lake was exceptionally clear, with little vegetation around, the stones at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen.

Xu Yang took out a water filter, filled it with some water.

Conditions were harsh at the moment, couldn’t care about small details, luckily it was only a three-day stay, so drinking a bit of lake water wasn’t a problem.

The scenery around the lake was very nice.

After a short rest, Xu Yang continued deeper into the mountain.

After walking a fair distance, he chose to trigger the Treasure Hunting Task a second time.

"Trigger a Rare Treasure Hunting Task, accept?"

"Note: Rare Treasure Hunting Task will consume 10 Treasure Hunting attempts."

A Rare Treasure Hunting Task?

Finally, here it comes!

After upgrading the Treasure Compass, there was a chance to trigger a Rare Treasure Hunting Task.

Xu Yang had been looking forward to it.

Now that he successfully triggered it, he naturally chose to accept.

"Triggered Rare Treasure Hunting Task: Reach the Summit! Death Valley!"

"Task Description: Death Valley in Kunlun Mountain is a natural perilous area, please enter the specified area in the Snow Domain deep inside Death Valley and check in."

"Reward Skills: Immune to Altitude Sickness: The physical condition is enhanced, immune to high altitude sickness."

"Reward Items: Warm Mountain Boots, mountain boots with a high internal temperature that can generate sufficient warmth in cold weather."

"Reward Tools: Lightning Avoidance Card, carrying the card can prevent lightning strikes."

"Note: After completing the task, the skills, items, and tools become permanently effective; if the task fails, the effects of the skills, items, and tools disappear."

"Task Reward: One Mercedes-Benz G-Class."

"Fighting Skills: San Shou."

The Rare Task emerged.

Seeing the task prompts, Xu Yang’s eyes slightly changed.

Oh boy, Death Valley?

Isn’t that the most dangerous place in Kunlun Mountain?

That place is known as one of the four most dangerous places in the world, definitely a one-way trip!

But the rewards were seriously good.

Just the three rewards during the task period were extremely useful, and completing the task would reward a luxury car and a very practical fighting skill.

San Shou is a form of fighting evolved from traditional Huaxia martial arts, including kicking, punching, wrestling, and grabbing, and it ranks among the top ten martial arts in the world alongside Taekwondo, Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Freestyle Wrestling.

"Kind of interesting."

"Getting excited."

Xu Yang felt his body get a bit excited as if he couldn’t wait to start the task.

However, Death Valley was still far from him.

Definitely couldn’t get there by walking.

"Plans have changed, prepare for climbing!"

Xu Yang made a decision.

To take a trip deep into Death Valley, he needed to prepare thoroughly.

And he also needed to make arrangements for Little Black.

That place was not suitable for taking Little Black along.

With only one Treasure Hunting attempt left, Xu Yang had no regrets.

He checked his geographical location and decided to leave this mountain area first.

Refuel tomorrow, and the day after, head to Death Valley to see.

To reach the summit of the most dangerous Snow Domain!

Xu Yang said to the online friends:

"This mountain is still too desolate, the altitude isn’t high enough, you can’t see the Snow Domain."

"I want to take a stroll on the snow-capped peak."

"Since we’ve come to Kunlun, we definitely need to experience it fully."

"Descending the mountain today, resting tomorrow, and resuming the livestream the day after."

"Let’s change locations."

Xu Yang, with Little Black and the small Tibetan antelope, just headed down the mountain.

Coming to Kunlun Mountain was originally for a treasure hunting task and to obtain rewards.

If we could see a snow leopard as well, that would be best.

Since this mountain area is desolate without a trace of snow leopards,

it might be better to head to Death Valley, where there are many animals, and we might even see a snow leopard.

[Old Xu wants to go to the snow-capped peak? That’s quite daring!]

[How high is the altitude? Won’t he suffer from altitude sickness?]

[Shouldn’t you have a coach for climbing snow mountains? Otherwise, can you even climb it?]

[Come on, you guys are really underestimating Brother Yang! How many in real life can really match him!]

Netizens were discussing fervently.

Then, Xu Yang continued to wander in the deep mountains.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, creating a somewhat sinister atmosphere.

Everyone was on edge, always worried about suddenly encountering wild beasts.

Until sunset.

Xu Yang, accompanied by the sunset, emerged from the deep mountains and arrived at a desolate highway.

There was not a single car on the highway.

Yet, Xu Yang’s livestream popularity was very high, and soon, a SUV came driving up, and a plainclothes police officer took him, along with Little Black and the small Tibetan antelope, to the town.

The small Tibetan antelope was successfully handed over to the police.

The livestream showed this scene, and viewers felt relieved.

Xu Yang turned off the livestream.

With the help of the police, he reached the town, rented a guesthouse, and subsequently rested.

In the evening, he called the farm to check on the situations there.

Everything at the farm was good and stable.

No issues at all.

Xu Yang informed the staff that he would still take a couple of days to return, and they all told Xu Yang not to worry.

The farm nowadays really didn’t need Xu Yang to worry too much about it.

Order was good and everything was on the right track.

Then, Xu Yang looked at Little Black.

If it were an ordinary range, then tagging along was okay. But Death Valley’s Snow Domain was too dangerous, possibly requiring rock climbing, and bringing Little Black could be cumbersome.

Thinking it over, Xu Yang called Ma Wen to ask him to make a trip the next day.

"On a business trip? Boss, where to, just tell me."

"Come to Kunlun Mountain."

"Is it for a business deal? Need a driver and someone to fend off drinks? No problem."

"Not that, help me take the dog back."

Ma Wen:...

Taking a plane just to pick up a dog?

Little Black really had top-notch treatment.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Ma Wen immediately agreed.

According to the farm’s policy, business trips had allowances, standard reimbursement for meals and accommodations, plus an extra 100 dollars per day, not bad at all.

So Little Black’s situation was resolved.

The next day, Xu Yang properly rested, and had hearty meals both for lunch and dinner.

Ma Wen had dinner with him, and the following day, he took Little Black back.

"Farm Director, where are you going that you’re not even taking Little Black?"

Ma Wen curiously asked.

"Just strolling around the snow mountains, it’s inconvenient with Little Black."

"It’s a rare trip to Kunlun Mountain, just wandering around a barren mountain, it doesn’t seem much fun."

"I’ll go a bit higher."

Xu Yang responded.

Hearing him say this, Ma Wen didn’t ask further.

At night, Xu Yang went on the move again, heading to another place.

The next morning.

The livestream began.

The viewers only saw Xu Yang standing on a beautiful meadow thriving with grass.

Looking deeper, one could see massive mountains surrounding the area. The mountaintops formed a continuous expanse of white Snow Domain, like a pure and holy fairyland.

Looking behind Xu Yang, one could see intertwining mountain ranges that resembled slumbering earth dragons.

Everyone was curious about where this was.

Only to hear Xu Yang speak at a relaxed pace:

"In Kunlun Mountain, there’s a place called ’Death Valley,’ known as one of the world’s four great traps."

"It’s said that there are many animal bones here; stray cattle and sheep that enter never come out again."

"Even people have disappeared in Death Valley."

"Scientists have specifically studied Death Valley."

"The reasonable explanation given is that the altitude of Death Valley is between 5,500 to 6,000 meters, and with low temperatures and lack of oxygen, humans entering can easily die from hypothermia."

"And the magnetic field here is chaotic, the weather very dry; if animals run fast, the rapid movement of electric charges can easily attract lightning strikes."

Hearing Xu Yang’s words, the viewers in the livestream couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.

Is it that exaggerated?

Can you really be struck by lightning?

[Old Xu, are you serious or joking, is there really such a place as Death Valley?]

[Cattle and sheep disappearing, humans disappearing? Could there be something ominous?]

[Old Xu, where exactly is Death Valley?]

Everyone couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Yang, zipping up his mountain coat, walked leisurely forward and then calmly pointed ahead,

"The place I am now, this is Death Valley."

Hearing his words, viewers were stunned, a hint of horror slowly appearing in their eyes.

What?!

This is Death Valley?!
