"Why don't we go to Tibet and the Northwest to visit my eldest and second eldest brothers and see how they are doing?"
Lin Qing thought for a moment and then said.
"Alright, then let's go to the Tibetan area first. You probably haven't met your older brother yet!"
Hearing Lin Qing's words, Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and then offered a suggestion with a smile.
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the Tibetan area."
So Gu Nanxun told Lin Qing to stay in the space, and he secretly walked out of the room, quietly climbed over the back door, and went to a secluded and open place. He then returned to the space, used the invisibility talisman on the hovercar, and flew directly towards the Tibetan area with Lin Qing.
Under the cover of night, Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing sat in the hovercar, the interior lights soft and warm. Lin Qing looked nervously out the window, both of them filled with excitement and anticipation. This was their first time riding in a hovercar together, and it was also Gu Nanxun's first time driving one. He could fly a plane, but this was truly his first time driving a hovercar.
"Brother Nanxun, do you know the way?" Lin Qing asked nervously.
Gu Nanxun was taken aback for a moment after hearing this. He said awkwardly, "I forgot that the hovercar is a product of another dimension. It doesn't have a map of our world inside, but I know the general direction."
"System, do you have a detailed map of this place?" Lin Qing asked the system.
"Host, do you want to only open the map from here to Tibet or the national map?"
"Of course, it's a national map."
"Does unlocking the national map require 500,000 points?"
"What!" Upon hearing the system's reply, Lin Qing's mouth dropped open in astonishment. "What kind of map is this? It actually requires 500,000 points! That's terrifying!"
Lin Qing asked in surprise.
"The map includes all the resource placement points, and it's the same map as the one in your back mountain, so the price is naturally higher."
Lin Qing nodded knowingly. If it was the same map as the one in the back mountain, then that would be right. After all, if it included various resource points from all over the country, it would be normal for it to be a bit more expensive.
"The owner can sign in and participate in the lottery. The rewards for signing in and participating in the lottery during the New Year will be doubled, and the chances of winning good items will be greater."
The system suggested to Gu Nanxun.
"Can you get a map through a lottery or daily check-in?" Gu Nanxun asked.
"No, but the prize pool and sign-in rewards will increase during the New Year, and there will be more good items than usual. You can also earn points, and you can sell any items you don't need after signing in!"
"I only need the national map, not resource points. How many points do I need?"
Gu Nanxun thought for a moment and asked, "The system did say that we could quickly get some points, but we're already about to set off for Tibet, and it's too late."
"Only 1000 points are needed." Seeing that Gu Nanxun did not follow its advice to participate in the lottery and sign in, the system said with disappointment.
"Okay, then please activate the national map for me first. Resource points will not be activated for now." Gu Nanxun paused for a moment, then continued, "Don't worry, we'll check in and draw prizes after we return from Tibet."
After Gu Nanxun finished speaking, to comfort the system, he added, "System check-in!"
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and received a flight stabilizer."
"Ding... Congratulations, host, you have received a New Year's reward: one flight stabilizer. Please confirm whether you wish to claim it."
"receive!"
Gu Nanxun clicked on the flight stabilizer introduction:
Flight stabilizers make aircraft more stable and reduce the impact of airflow.
"System, install flight stabilizer."
"Ding... Flight stabilizer successfully installed!"
"Master, you see? Signing in now is really worth it."
The system happily said that it was indeed right that many good things would appear in the New Year, and the rewards would be doubled. Even the system's own points would be doubled, which was why the system kept asking Gu Nanxun to sign in.
"Alright, we're busy right now and don't have time. We've accumulated a lot of check-ins recently, and we'll use them all when we get back to help you get even more points!"
Hearing the system's constant encouragement, Lin Qing smiled and said that she knew the system also had performance metrics. For example, when they checked in, participated in lotteries, or bought things, the system could earn a certain number of points.
...
The hovercar flew silently through the night sky, almost undetectable thanks to Gu Nanxun's invisibility talisman. They passed through layers of clouds, flew over continuous mountain ranges, and finally arrived over the Tibetan region.
"We've arrived in Tibet," Gu Nanxun said softly.
"Have we arrived yet?" Lin Qing looked up and saw a dark grassland in the distance, with a vast expanse of white snow on top. Lin Qing couldn't see any houses or people at all.
"There's nothing here! Where am I supposed to find my brother?!"
Lin Qing murmured.
"Don't rush, let's look around first and see if there's a campsite. But it's night now, so we might not be able to find our leader."
Gu Nanxun said reassuringly.
"It's okay, I know all of this, but even if I find it, I might not recognize it."
Lin Qing smiled and said that they both knew that saying they came to find their elder brother was really just a way to find a place for themselves. Moreover, given their current situation, even if they found their elder brother, they couldn't possibly meet him, since they couldn't explain how they got there.
Gu Nanxun was driving his hovercar aimlessly above the Tibetan region when suddenly a patch of gray-yellow lights appeared in the distance.
Gu Nanxun and Lin Qing's gazes were drawn to the patch of grayish-yellow light, and they decided to move closer to see what was going on there.
As the hovercar slowly descended, they gradually came to see the source of the light—a simple camp surrounded by a group of young soldiers, all sitting around a campfire, each of them eating roasted sweet potatoes with a satisfied expression.
"Erdan, here you go." An older young man broke off half of a roasted sweet potato and handed it to a younger soldier next to him.
The young soldier named Erdan looked at the roasted sweet potato that the captain handed him, secretly swallowed, and then shook his head. "Captain, I don't want it, I'm full!" After saying that, the young soldier looked at the roasted sweet potato in the captain's hand one last time, then swallowed hard again and turned his head away.
The soldier who was called the captain grabbed Erdan's hand and put the roasted sweet potato in Erdan's hand: "What do you mean by 'full'? You're young and can eat a lot. The captain is old and can't eat that much. He won't be able to digest it. You eat some for the captain. Besides, your injury hasn't healed yet. If you don't eat more, how will your injury heal!"
