Chapter 529 Hidden Missions and Hidden Challenges

Beside the cozy fire, a St. Bernard dog croaked to the ground, and the powerful bark seemed to indicate that it was stronger than its brothers and sisters!

In the Snow Mountain Search and Rescue training camp, a St. Bernard dog named Heilu completed all the training items with the best results ever in the training camp!
Hei Lu was assigned to a seasoned search and rescue officer with extensive experience in this area of ​​work.

"Hello, we will be partners from now on, please give me more advice!"

Well, it's very polite, maybe it will be a good partner!
In the first rescue mission, Heilu accomplished the rescue with excellent strength.

Amidst countless praises, Hei Lu raised his head high!

"Well done, lad, I'll treat you well today!"

Led by his partner, Heilu entered a noisy tavern, and all kinds of strange smells suddenly hit his nose, making him have an urge to turn around and run away.

However, among these many strange smells, there is still a special aroma, which seems to be...

"No, no, it's impossible! Although I want to reward you, you can't open your mouth like a lion!"

Hei Lu used his trump card, quietly staring at his partner, his eyes gradually becoming pitiful.

It used this trick against those instructors in the training camp back then, and it can be said to be invincible!

"Damn it! Okay, okay, I know, I'll just buy it for you!"

A piece of delicious steak was brought to Hei Lu, just when he couldn't wait to enjoy the food, a voice suddenly sounded...

"Sir, are you sure you want to do this? Of course, I don't mean anything else. However, this [delicious steak] is the signature of our tavern. Not only is it limited every day, but the price..."

"Give it to him! Didn't you see the poor little eyes of my brother!"

This is a special delicious meal that Hei Lu will never forget!

Since then, Hei Lu has been involved in more and more rescue missions, and he and his partner have become well-known heroes!A legend among rescue teams!
Every time there is a successful rescue, the partner will bring it to taste the [delicious steak], which is its favorite food, bar none!

However, the rescue mission is not always so smooth, even for their legendary combination, they occasionally miss it.

"Okay, don't be sad, it's not your fault, come on, eat it, this is your favorite steak!"

[Delicious Steak] The aroma is still there, but Hei Lu has no appetite at all.

In its view, [Delicious Steak] is the agreement and tacit understanding between it and its partner, and it is a reward that can only be enjoyed when the rescue mission is successful. Now that the mission fails, it naturally does not have this qualification!

"Don't be discouraged. Not everything in this world is perfect. In life, there are always some unsatisfactory things. You have worked very hard. However, as a punishment for mission failure, you can... only eat half of the steak. I!"

Hei Lu stared blankly at his partner splitting the steak into two, and then devoured it by himself. He couldn't help being a little dazed, but for some reason, he didn't feel so uncomfortable in his heart.

Afterwards, Hei Lu and his partner made a new agreement. Once the mission fails, the delicious steak will be halved. This is not a punishment, but a sharing of sorrow!
However, this feeling of someone sharing joy and sorrow seems... not bad!

…………

The scene stopped abruptly, and the whole [delicious steak] had been eaten by one person and one dog.

Although I don’t know why this former hero, the St. Bernard dog known as the legend of the rescue team, became a stray dog, and where is his partner now.

But Lando understood that his mistake just now had already earned him the approval of the dog in front of him.

Yes, it was a mistake!
Before that, Lando could clearly feel that the dog had a deep desire for [delicious steak], which is why he concluded that this was a mission, so he chased after it.

But when the dog refused to eat no matter how he fed it, he had other ideas.

Although St. Bernard is known as the best snow mountain search and rescue dog, in fact, they were unable to determine the specific identity of this dog before.

However, from the dirty collar on the dog's neck and the dog tag that has been worn out to the point where the writing is not clear, it can be inferred that the dog had an owner before.

[Delicious Steak] It is rare, there is no doubt about it.

So, what does the owner do when he has a good relationship with his dog?

Lando believes that he will share his favorite and precious things with his dogs!

Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong with this!

It was because of this guess that Lando split the [delicious steak] into two, and said to Gouzi, "Why don't we have half of each of us!" 'In this case!
He was just trying to imitate the scene when Hei Lu got along with his master.

Now after watching the animation CG, Lando understands that the complete [delicious steak] is only eaten when the dog completes the task and is happy.

And when it is sad, what it needs is a person who can share this sadness with it!

[Congratulations on gaining Heilu's approval and completing the hidden mission... The Light of Saint Bernard! 】

[Congratulations on finding the game: Snow Peak Scenery]

Hei Lu was silent for a while, as if he was reminiscing about the long-lost taste.

After a while, it raised its head, barked softly towards Lando, and then walked towards the edge of the town.

Lando understood what it meant and followed behind it.

The three people and the dog stopped and walked, and soon came to a small house that looked a bit dilapidated.

Hei Lu glanced at Lando, then opened the door and entered.

Lando followed and entered, and the two sisters of Nalan received a reminder that they had no permission and could not enter.

[As a legend in the rescue team, Hei Lu has successfully completed dozens of rescue missions, and rescued hundreds of people. Those rescued will often give some items to Hei Lu as a gift of gratitude. The most cherished treasure. 】

[As a person recognized by Heilu, it wants to give you some treasures, do you accept it? 】

accept!

Hei Lu found two items from a pile of sundries and put them in front of Lando.

It was a pair of heavy hiking boots, and a scroll.

【Congratulations on getting your sturdy hiking boots! 】

【Congratulations on getting the Affix Sublimation Scroll! 】

Lando first looked at [sturdy hiking boots].

【Sturdy Hiking Boots: Acquainted yet durable adventure essentials with special powers attached to them!Consuming points can activate special abilities like walking on flat ground, which can make you ignore any terrain obstacles for a short time! 】

[Note: 20 points will be consumed to activate Walking on the Ground, which lasts for 5 seconds! 】

[Note: Each game can be activated three times! 】

[Note: Each game can only wear one piece of equipment! 】

This [Sturdy Mountaineering Boots] is not bad. Although most mechs have the ability to fly, most games so far have banned flying. In this case, [Sturdy Mountaineering Boots] can ignore any terrain obstacles. The ability to be able to walk on the ground is very useful!

Then, Lando looked at [Affix Sublimation Scroll].

[Affix Sublimation Scroll: A scroll with magical power, it can sublimate activated affixes into a higher-level affix of the same type! 】

[Note: The item will disappear immediately after use! 】

[Note: Only one item can be equipped per game! 】

In comparison, the effect of [Affix Sublimation Volume] is quite simple and clear, and of course, it is also very powerful.

After bidding farewell to Hei Lu, the three left here.

On the way, Lando briefly told the two seniors what he saw about Hei Lu.

Nalankui said empathetically, "It's such a good dog. It must be waiting for its partner. If it is real, I will definitely adopt it!"

Na Lanxin sighed helplessly: "Snow mountain search and rescue personnel are also relatively dangerous professions among all search and rescue personnel. This St. Bernard dog will become like this. I'm afraid his partner has..."

Lando spoke, interrupting the silence among the three: "I activated another game, and got two items from Hei Lu, both of which are quite useful."

There are two items, one is equipment and the other is props, which happen to be equipped.

Nalanxin said decisively: "There is nothing to prepare, let's start the game directly!"

Nalan Kui also nodded repeatedly.

So, Lando activated the game... Snowtop Scene!
[Congratulations to the player for starting a new game... Snowtop Scenery! 】

[Game description: On the top of the towering snow mountain, the owner has a dreamlike and magnificent scenery, which attracts countless adventurers to charge it again and again!And everyone who can see that scenery will be praised by the world! 】

[Basic rules of the game:

[-]. After entering the game, the player will be in the state of undressing the mecha, and only have the same strength and physical strength as in reality!
[-]. In the game, players can attack each other or suffer other injuries, but players will not die!
[-]. This game will only produce one winner. Once a player reaches the top, the game will end immediately! 】

[Game Rewards: Those who climb to the top will receive a basic reward of 500 points and a mysterious gift!Other players will multiply the basic point rewards according to the climbing percentage progress, as their own rewards! 】

[Game penalty: The 20% players with the lowest climbing progress will be eliminated directly! 】

[The game scene is being constructed...]

[Player casting...]

What appeared before Lando's eyes was a giant snow mountain as high as 10000!
About 30% of the height below are gentle slopes that are easier to walk on.

At about 40% of the height in the middle, it becomes gradually difficult to climb.

At about 20% of the height of the top floor, even the most professional rock climbing adventurers are in danger of life at any time.

The last remaining 10%, from Lando's current perspective, there is purely a 90° right-angled ice surface!
At this time, a line of reminders appeared in front of Lando...

[The player completes the hidden mission of Light of Saint Bernard, and starts the hidden challenge mission! 】

[Snow Rescuers: Bring rescue supplies, deliver them to adventurers trapped on the snowy mountain, and ensure that they can return safely to the mountain! 0/5】

[People who climbed to the top: Climb to the top of the snow mountain and enjoy the unique beauty! 0/1】

[Note: Complete two hidden challenge missions, and you will be rewarded with a trophy at the end of the game! 】

Five rescue supplies appeared in front of Lando, which should be the mission items of [Snowstorm Rescuer].

He weighed it lightly. Each piece of rescue supplies weighed about five catties, and together they were 25 catties, or 12.5 kilograms. This weight is nothing to humans today, even in the ancestor star era!
But, don't forget, the mission requirement is for Lando to climb the snow mountain with these rescue supplies!

The locations of the five rescuers have been marked in the mission, and the tallest one is probably around the mountainside of the snow-capped mountain, but the five rescued are not in a straight line, but distributed all over the snow-capped mountain!
If he wanted to rescue them, it meant that Lando needed to walk a far longer route on the snow-capped mountains than other players!
Coupled with the burden of relief supplies, this is not an easy task!
In the age of ancestors, Mount Everest was a sacred place that many extreme adventurers wanted to conquer but could not get!
Even if modern human physique has evolved far beyond that era, Mount Everest is still very difficult for many humans without using any tools!

The altitude of Mount Everest is 8848 meters!
Although the snow mountain in front of us is only more than 1000 meters higher than Mount Everest, it is more than ten times more difficult to climb!

[As the game opener, you will receive special affix rewards...the affixes are being drawn...]

Lando looked at the huge disk in front of him, and finally stopped on an affix that surprised him...

Snow Mountain Rescuer!
It turned out to be an identity affix!And is it so appropriate? !

[Snow mountain rescuer: You are a well-prepared snow mountain rescuer! 】

As the identity affix took effect, Lando immediately put on a light snow mountain rescue suit, and even had two ice axes for mountaineering hanging from his waist!

The advantage of this affix is ​​really too great!
After taking off the protection of the mecha, what is the biggest problem for human beings when climbing snow-capped mountains?
If Lando were to answer, he would definitely say yes...Keep warm!
Even if this is an immortal game, once the body is frozen, it will still lose the ability to move!

The two seniors were not too surprised by Lando's sudden change of costume, they all knew that the person who opened the game would get a special affix bonus!

Lando said apologetically to the two Nalan sisters: "Senior sisters, the hidden mission completed by Heilu also allowed me to activate two other hidden challenge missions in this game, I'm afraid I can't go with you. "

Nalanxin said gently: "It's okay, we entered the game to help you, so naturally you are the main player."

Nalan Kui directly waved his small fist and said, "Brother Lando, come on!"

Lando nodded, carrying the rescue supplies on his back, the blood on his body flickered slightly, and the next moment, he rushed out like a cheetah!
Looking at Lan Duo's back, the two Nalan sisters looked at each other, their eyes were a little inexplicable.

With the attainment of manipulating qi and blood, this snow-capped mountain is not only like walking on flat ground for Lando, but it is also considered easy!

Soon, he came to the first trapped adventurer who needed help, handed the rescue supplies to the latter, and received some words of thanks.

"Thank God, I was finally saved! Thank you for the supplies you brought, leave the rest to me, and go rescue others!"

Lando was about to leave after hearing the words, but a line of reminders made his complexion change!

[Adventurer A has received rescue supplies, and his probability of safely returning to the mountain alone is 95%. Should he be allowed to leave by himself? 】
