Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Chapter 183: Chapter 105: First Passive Skill!

Li Younan took out his phone, preparing to record some more video.

Liao Xinchun, seeing this, probably misunderstood. She shook her head and said, ”Forget it, I don’t want to add you as a contact.”

Li Younan was taken aback again and said, ”Oh.”

Just as Li Younan began to shoot other places with his phone, Liao Xinchun sighed softly, saying in a voice only she could hear, ”Really not going to try again...”

But that’s fine too. Judging by her behavior along the way, she really didn’t seem like a well-behaved and innocent girl.

Then, with a slight toss of her hair, she thought, why think so much?

She was always on the winning side...

They re-boarded the cruise ship, and it slowly left Zigui.

Li Younan leaned against the ship’s rail, watching the dam’s silhouette blur in the twilight, eventually becoming a faint mark on the horizon.

The river was tinted with a warm golden hue by the sunset, and cargo ships leisurely passed by, creating long ripples.

Scenes from the day replayed in his mind: the expansive view from Tanzi Ridge, the palpable sense of the dam from the 185 Platform, the silent strength of the steel giants in the memorial park.

And other aspects...

Regarding this journey...he glanced at Liao Xinchun beside him, feeling that this trip was quite nice.

It was a dual enjoyment for the body and mind.

He was a bit tired, but his heart was at peace.

He looked again at the dam.

This dam blocked the river, generated electricity, and allowed ships to traverse mountains and valleys. It was there, doing what it was meant to do.

The wind had blown for thousands of years, the river had flowed for tens of thousands of years, people came and went, leaving traces that time gradually wore away.

Sitting at the stern, just watching, it was quite nice.

...

The system’s completion notification for the task also came through.

[Task Complete!]

[Random reward in process...]

[Climber’s Lineage +1]

[Climber’s Lineage lv.1: You are born with the ability to reach great heights, possessing an oxygen capacity far beyond ordinary people. As your oxygen level increases, you can regulate your body in extraordinary ways... For your body, with only a brief adaptation, elevations of 5000 meters and 0 meters are no different.]

This skill was notably different from the ones he’d acquired before.

Strictly speaking, this skill didn’t provide him with any knowledge or muscle memory, but it gave his body an inexplicable enhancement.

It’s hard to describe this feeling. He felt an indescribable comfort in his body, and even a sense of fatigue spread from nowhere, somewhat like... oxygen intoxication.

It was like yawning from the inside out, stretching lazily, with a feeling of total clarity.

In short, he felt that his body was more comfortable.

If the skills he’d acquired before were active skills, then this was a purely passive skill.

But Li Younan was very satisfied with this skill, as he planned to conquer more great mountains and rivers in the future.

China is so vast, and there are so many plateaus. It would be gut-wrenching to get stopped by altitude sickness midway.

Thinking of this, Li Younan suddenly remembered that his mom had always wanted to visit Jiuzhaigou.

Conveniently, the highway from Jiuzhaigou to Mianyang was mostly completed. If they waited a few more days, by mid to late September, close to October, the red leaves there would be very beautiful.

By then, he could ask his mom to take a leave, and he’d take her there...

After going ashore, Li Younan found a hotel and sent all the footage he shot on the cruise to JK Long.

Brother Long was quite satisfied, replying with a thumbs-up emoji, and said, ”Alright, once I edit it, I’ll send it to the partners first, which is the cruise company. If they approve, I’ll send it to you, and the payment will be transferred together.”

Li Younan was extremely tired, but he quickly replied, ”Thanks for the hard work... Brother Long.”

The words were heartfelt.

He was having fun outside, while Brother Long was cooped up in a room editing videos for him.

Sometimes, he couldn’t help but think, maybe next time he should invite Brother Long on one of his trips, see if he’d like to come along!

JK Long didn’t reply for a long time.

After a while, just as Li Younan was about to fall asleep, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was from JK Long, with just one word.

”Hmph.”

Hmph?

Is that right?

Li Younan didn’t have time to think about it further and fell into a deep sleep.
