Chapter 314
Two books of winter's cold and lifelessness.
In today's winter.
Not a trace of it is reflected.
Along the roadside, many sprouts have burst forth.
Resisting those gusts of cold wind.
Striving to grow.
For now, this journey has no destination.
Only the direction Ning Chen's deep eyes gaze toward.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the achievement to unlock.
The one who strikes the sea waves.
Who exactly is he?
Chasing lightning is still understandable.
One just needs to run after the lightning.
But striking the sea waves?
Can sea waves even be struck?
It is clearly unrealistic.
It seems like something surreal.
However.
Ning Chen, however, does not think so.
Since the system said it.
Then it means this person must exist.
Putting aside how he will strike the sea waves.
Since the system said he can do it, then he certainly can do it.
It is just that the form might be different.
For example.
The word "strike" is worth pondering.
There is a saying that goes well.
Gently knock awake the sleeping soul.
This "knock awake" is certainly not on a physical level.
But rather a more profound and deep extension of the soul.
Like solace and resonance.
Ning Chen drives at a leisurely pace.
He has driven from morning until late afternoon.
Even now, there is no sign of stopping.
Such a life has long been a habit for him.
Every time.
He drives until his eyes are bloodshot, pushing to the very last moment of his limit.
Only then does he let go of the steering wheel.
And go to rest.
Now is no different.
It has already reached late night.
Ning Chen left the driver's seat.
Carrying a small stool in hand, he climbed onto the roof of the RV.
He sat on top of the RV.
Looking up at the entire sky.
Those stars connect with one another.
Gathering into various patterns.
This is nature's finest painter.
Under Ning Chen's subjective manipulation.
Those stars extend lines, constantly connecting.
Gradually.
A woman's figure formed.
212. (1/5) Before that beach, a girl was sunbathing.
Beach, sun, ball, and... beauty.
None of them were present.
Ning Chen's journey this time has been heading south all along.
Unexpectedly, he drove to a closed beach scenic area.
A woman lay on a lounge chair, with a sun umbrella planted beside her.
Wearing sunglasses on her head.
Beside it stood a small table with drinks on it.
Ning Chen had brought Zhang Xiao here to eat.
He passed right by her side.
He didn't even glance her way.
It seemed he had no interest at all in this strange person in the winter.
Not the slightest bit.
He simply picked a restaurant at random.
Ning Chen casually ordered a few dishes.
And ate with Zhang Xiao.
The shop owner looked at Ning Chen and greeted him warmly.
"You're from out of town, right? This scenic area isn't open yet; you'd probably have to wait until April or May. If you want to go to the beach, you'll have to keep driving south. There's a Haicheng in the south of the country, surrounded by sea on all sides, with a climate suitable year-round, and the beaches are open all year."
Hearing the shop owner speak.
Ning Chen swallowed his mouthful of rice in one gulp and replied, "I have no destination; just wandering around."
The shop owner laughed heartily. "Young people these days really have spirit! Sigh, I was just like you back in the day, loved traveling all over the world. But now I'm old; I can barely walk, so I can only stop and rest."
Perhaps seeing Ning Chen.
He saw a bit of his former self in him.
The shop owner began to reminisce: "The most memorable time I recall was exploring a jungle. That time, we ran into an enormous python. No one knew what it was called. The small boat we were on nearly capsized. My dog fell in and was swallowed in one bite by that python."
As he spoke.
The shop owner shrugged.
"That's how we managed to come back alive."
"Oh," Ning Chen replied coldly.
The shop owner was somewhat displeased.
He thought, I've told you so much.
You kid could at least give some response!
What does just an "Oh" mean!
Do you look down on my adventures like that?
You fellow with no spirit of adventure!
But.
