Chapter 357

Having finished speaking.

The shopkeeper carefully sized up Ning Chen and said, "Are you here for tourism?"

Ning Chen nodded and said, "We want to climb Mangshan."

"Mangshan!" the shopkeeper exclaimed.

242. (2/5) Can a good person not be a shrewd merchant?

The shopkeeper exclaimed, "You want to go to Mangshan!"

Ning Chen frowned. "What's wrong?"

The shopkeeper returned to the counter, sat on a chair, and said to Ning Chen, "Mangshan is very dangerous! I don't recommend taking a small child there for tourism."

Saying this.

The shopkeeper warned, "If you just want to see the scenery nearby, I have many places to recommend to you for free. There are many wonders and folk experiences around here, and every traveler who comes here has a happy and fulfilling time."

"But!"

The shopkeeper's tone shifted.

"Mangshan is different! It is a place only for mountaineers to go. Even we locals have never successfully climbed it!"

Ning Chen also sat down and asked, "Why? Can't even cross a mountain?"

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Chen, then shook his head and said, "Young man, you are too young. If it were an ordinary mountain, we would have crossed it long ago. But Mangshan is different. It has no other hidden dangers; it's just that there is heavy fog on the mountain, and oxygen is extremely scarce!"

The shopkeeper sighed and continued, "Moreover, that fog is very thick. There are no developed stone paths up the mountain, so it is easy to get lost. Although Mangshan is not the highest or largest, once you get lost inside, basically, you cannot get out."

"To date, according to statistics, over a hundred tourists have gone missing inside, and dozens have been confirmed dead. Many of them were professional mountaineers, yet even they could not conquer Mangshan."

Listening to the shopkeeper's explanation.

Ning Chen showed no fear in his eyes; instead, he asked, "How much oxygen do we need to prepare to get up there?"

The shopkeeper looked at Ning Chen and said bitterly, "The amount is more than you can imagine."

"One person simply cannot carry a large number of oxygen tanks, after all, cars cannot drive up there."

Ning Chen fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Is the fog very easy to make people lose their direction?"

The shopkeeper nodded very confidently and said, "According to some mountaineers who failed the challenge, visibility is less than three meters, and there seems to be a magnetic field inside the mountain. The compass doesn't work; you can only wander blindly and cannot trust it."

Less than three meters.

This is already extremely terrifying!

Moreover, Mangshan has been covered in fog year after year, which makes the surrounding environment change.

It is very difficult for people to judge the direction.

And.

There is simply no signal on the mountain.

There is a magnetic field inside the mountain, so the compass cannot be used.

No wonder.

This mountain is called the Gate of Hell.

Under such conditions.

It is indeed very difficult to climb up.

But.

Ning Chen is definitely going to go up.

However.

Zhang Xiao is probably unable to go up.

She can't even withstand it here on the plateau.

Let alone Mangshan, which even professionals cannot climb.

"You still want to go?" the shopkeeper asked.

Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Sigh, anyway, I have warned you." The shopkeeper smiled, then pointed at his merchandise and started selling.

"Then you must prepare some supplies; otherwise, it will be hard to go up the mountain. Since you look familiar to me, I'll give you a twenty percent discount!"

A chorus of hisses erupted in the live broadcast room.

【I thought he was such a good person! Turns out he's a shrewd merchant too!】

【After all this, he just wants to sell his own products!】

【This shopkeeper is a bit kind-hearted, but not very kind-hearted.】

【I think he was talking enthusiastically, but he's making quite a bit of money.】

【Am I the only one who thinks this shopkeeper is quite good? He was just advising Brother Shiguang!】

【I didn't expect Brother Shiguang to actually climb that mountain no one can climb! This will surely be a huge surprise!】

【Don't bother. I don't think Brother Shiguang can really climb up. They said even professionals have to kneel before Mangshan, let alone Brother Shiguang, an untrained ordinary person.】

【To the person above, haven't the surprises Brother Shiguang brought us been enough? Have you ever seen someone dodge bullets with their bare body? Obviously, Brother Shiguang's physical constitution can no longer be measured by human standards! I estimate he has almost surpassed human limits!】

【Could it be that some genetic lock was opened? I've been seeing a lot about this genetic lock recently.】

【I actually think Brother Shiguang can't get up there. It's impossible to tell directions up there; wanting to go up is definitely extremely difficult. Climbing a mountain is not as simple as you think, especially wanting to conquer an unfamiliar mountain.】

【Yes, yes! Everyone has seen Brother Shiguang's abilities this time, but that is nature. No matter how strong humans are, they cannot resist the divine power of nature!】

【What? You still don't believe in Brother Shiguang? I now unconditionally believe in Brother Shiguang. I believe he can definitely climb that mountain!】

At this moment.

Ning Chen looked at the room full of equipment and travel souvenirs but had no intention of buying anything.

Because.

At this moment, the title "Person from Hell" was flashing continuously.

Although Ning Chen was not yet clear on its specific use.

He could clearly feel.

This title was constantly helping him resist various dangers and harms.

Just like altitude sickness.

Similar situations.

"Person from Hell" was also helping him resist them.

If Ning Chen's guess was correct.

Then, most likely.

The problem of thin oxygen would also be resisted.

After all.

This title could even suppress a super-large sandstorm, let alone a small oxygen problem.

But out of safety considerations.

Ning Chen still bought an oxygen tank and spare oxygen.

It cost a few hundred.

He was clearly ripped off by the shopkeeper.

But Ning Chen didn't care.

After all, now.

Money held no real value for him.

Moreover, his current savings had reached 6.2 million.

This small amount of money was nothing at all.

Afterwards.

A while later.

Zhang Xiao's condition improved slightly.

She took off the oxygen mask and then looked at the unfamiliar living environment.

Although she had not fainted just now, her head had been constantly dizzy.

She only knew that Ning Chen had held her and run for a while.

Then a mask had covered her nose.
