the next day.
When Yang Zheng woke up, it was already 9:30 in the morning.
I slept so well last night.
For the past few months, I haven't slept this well.
That's how it is for people; the better the quality of their sleep, the more mental and physical energy they have.
"Get up and have breakfast quickly, we're going on an adventure into the mini-world later!"
After having breakfast outside, Yang Zheng started preparing.
First, put on the newly purchased protective gear.
This full-body protective suit, which cost nearly two thousand yuan, feels okay to wear.
It's soft yet durable, somewhat like a reinforced version of a bodysuit.
We also need to wear protective boots.
As for that electric scooter helmet, it's too inconvenient to wear and it also obstructs my vision, so I'll have to buy a better one later.
He carried a slingshot worth over 700 yuan on his waist, which was also equipped with a laser sight.
The store gave us five packs of steel balls as a gift, with about 300 balls in each pack.
Yang Zheng carried a spare bag with him.
After gathering all these miscellaneous items, Yang Zheng checked the time; it was already 10:00 AM.
It's getting late; we need to hurry and open the interdimensional portal.
Take out the Tai Chi Beads and press them gently.
Suddenly, the portal with its rippling mirror surface appeared out of thin air in the middle of the rented room.
Yang Zheng carried the telescopic ladder and immediately went inside...
…………
Suddenly everything went black.
After a brief period of mental blankness, he opened his eyes again and found himself in his own little world.
Standing atop this all-too-familiar hillside, Yang Zheng felt a little depressed.
Why is this portal always on a hillside? Can't it be like on Earth and let me change its location?
I'm always carrying things back and forth. How many unnecessary detours do I take in a year?
Looking at the retractable ladder on his shoulder, he shook his head and sighed.
Ugh, another exhausting day.
The 14-meter-long telescopic ladder weighs 49 kilograms.
With all the miscellaneous things I was carrying, the weight was at least over 100 pounds.
Although he was in better physical condition than the average person, carrying such a heavy load was still quite strenuous.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Zheng steadied the telescopic ladder on his shoulder with his hand, and then, with heavy, panting steps, he headed down the hillside.
It's a good four or five kilometers from here to the other side of the cliff.
Carrying a ladder weighing over 100 pounds now is definitely not as convenient as it used to be, and the speed will be greatly affected.
It will probably take him at least an hour to get there.
The weather in the small world has been nice lately.
Every day is sunny, and the ground is relatively dry.
If it's a rainy day, then it's miserable.
A giant, standing eighteen meters tall, carried a ladder down the hillside.
Along the way, a large number of birds and beasts were startled and scattered in all directions.
After selling big fish for a few days, I made several hundred thousand.
Yang Zheng has absolutely no interest in the wild animals found in the small world.
These wild animals are not only worth very little money, but also extremely risky.
I remember the last time I sold giant soft-shelled turtles at a stall, I was reported once.
Although that incident didn't cause him any real trouble, it still left a lingering shadow in his heart.
He has made up his mind.
Starting today, I will absolutely not touch wild boars or rabbits.
Carrying a 100-pound telescopic ladder, he finally made it from the hillside to the riverbank. The short distance of a few hundred meters exhausted him, forcing him to stop and rest for a while.
Fortunately, the temperature inside the small world is not high, remaining around 20 to 30 degrees Celsius.
Otherwise, Yang Zheng would have died of heatstroke dressed so warmly.
I walked and stopped frequently, sweating profusely all the way.
It took Yang Zheng nearly two hours to finally carry the ladder to the bottom of that familiar cliff.
We've finally arrived!
Yang Zheng let out a deep sigh of relief as he heavily lowered the heavy ladder.
He looked up and frowned, wondering to himself, "Huh, why haven't I seen that white tiger today?"
Sudden,
Just then.
From the top of the cliff came a series of mournful and angry roars.
Aww...
It was making a lot of noise, and its cries were unusual.
Why does it look like that white tiger is fighting for its life against something?
"No, I have to go up and check right away..."
With that in mind, Yang Zheng picked up the telescopic ladder again and went around to the mountain ridge behind the cliff.
This spot is closest to the top of the cliff, only a dozen meters high. If we extend the fourteen-meter retractable ladder, we should be able to climb up, albeit with some difficulty.
I checked the time; it was almost noon.
We must hurry up and get there.
Thinking of this, Yang Zheng immediately found a relatively flat area at the bottom of the cliff and began to slowly extend the telescopic ladder.
Soon, the fourteen-meter retractable ladder appeared before us.
Yang Zheng struggled to hold onto the ladder and slowly leaned towards the top of the cliff.
To be on the safe side, the angle cannot be too steep; it must be slightly slanted.
In this way, the height of the ladder would not reach fourteen meters.
There's nothing we can do about it.
After setting up the ladder, Yang Zheng took a few steps back and looked up. He found that even if he climbed to the top of the ladder, it was still about two meters away from the top.
However, there are some cracks and protruding rocks nearby that can be used as footholds to climb up.
Anyway, it's only two meters from the top of the cliff, and with his physical abilities, it shouldn't be too difficult.
Awooooo...
At the top of the cliff, the white tiger's roar grew increasingly mournful and furious.
Faintly, it seemed as if a subtle sound could be heard coming from somewhere.
It felt like it was locked in a fierce battle with something.
Yang Zheng felt a little strange.
Having been in this small world for so long, I've passed by this cliff many times.
Each time, I only ever saw that ferocious white tiger; I never saw any other creatures.
Besides, given the size of the White Tiger in this world, it is already at the top of the food chain.
Moreover, it's located at the top of this steep cliff, a place that even creatures that pose a threat to it can't climb up.
What exactly happened?
After looking down and thinking carefully, Yang Zheng suddenly remembered.
Several times during his recent travels, he saw the white tiger crouching on the right side of the cliff, roaring and howling madly at a small stone cave below the cliff face.
Could it be that some kind of terrifying creature is hiding in that cave?
Thinking of this, he secretly kept a watchful eye on things.
"Let's go up and take a look first..."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Zheng carefully grabbed the ladder and started climbing.
The higher you climb on this kind of retractable ladder, the more it sways.
Especially when he climbed to the middle of the ladder, the ladder had already started to bend.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Fortunately, Yang Zheng doesn't have a fear of heights; otherwise, most people definitely wouldn't dare to do it.
Seven meters, eight meters, ten meters...
Soon, Yang Zheng climbed to a height of ten meters above the ground.
The ladder was swaying more and more, so for safety reasons he had to slow down and wait a moment after each step.
We had to wait until the ladder was stable before we dared to continue climbing.
If there had been two people helping him hold the ladder at that moment, he would have climbed to the top of the cliff long ago.
At the top of the cliff, the roar of the white tiger echoed continuously throughout the area.
Finally, Yang Zheng steadied himself and carefully climbed to the top of the ladder.
Looking up, it was less than two meters from the top of the cliff.
He took a deep breath, then carefully climbed up the cracks in the rock beside him.
Although the distance was less than two meters, he dared not be careless.
Concentrating intently on the cracks and the protruding rocks on the stone wall, they arched upwards little by little.
Finally, after stepping into an excellent crevice in front of his chest, Yang Zheng's right hand reached the top of the cliff.
He stopped, took a few deep breaths, prepared to sprint, then gripped the cliff top firmly and pushed off with both feet.
In an instant, his massive body successfully leaped up the cliff.
"Damn, we finally made it to the top! It was so tough..."
He sat on the edge of the cliff, panting, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
But soon, the view above the cliff caused his pupils to contract sharply, and his expression became one of utter shock...
