Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 30 The Great Wall! New Mission!!!

He who has not climbed the Great Wall is no true hero!
Every Chinese person has heard this saying.

This naturally includes Chen Baiyu.

Therefore, their simple travel plan naturally included a trip to the Great Wall.

Before going to the zoo, he had already contacted a tour group online to go to the Badaling Great Wall. The tour included a private car for pick-up and drop-off, as well as a cable car ticket for the Badaling Great Wall.

the next morning.

Chen Baiyu, along with her mother and aunt, boarded the subway and transferred trains until they arrived at the entrance of a convenience store.

This was the meeting point for the tour group he had signed up for, and there were quite a few other people with families waiting around, probably with the same purpose as them.

A light drizzle was falling from the sky.

The rain was as fine as sewing thread, making hair feel damp, but few people were using umbrellas.

Or to be more precise, it was the sudden rain and the complete lack of advance weather forecast that caught everyone off guard.

So everyone went to a nearby convenience store to buy raincoats or umbrellas.

Even if it's sold at a high price.

That didn't dampen anyone's enthusiasm.

Standing under the eaves, Chen Baiyu stretched out his hand, feeling the cool raindrops falling on the back of his hand. He could clearly feel the capillaries under his skin contracting and count the number of raindrops falling on his hand every second.

This was the first rain he encountered after his transformation.

The world seemed exceptionally vibrant to him as his perception was heightened.

Not a moment.

The tour bus arrived.

"Gather up! Gather up!"

"Queue up here at Badaling!"

The tour guide waved a small flag and shouted, his voice piercing through the rain, carrying a slightly hoarse enthusiasm.

The crowd surged forward as if drawn by a magnet.

Chen Baiyu helped her mother catch up with her aunt, and they moved slowly together with the group.

After the tour guide checked each person's name, the bus to Badaling Great Wall officially started its journey.

As soon as the bus entered the highway, the tour guide picked up the microphone, cleared his throat, and said, "Good morning, everyone. I am your tour guide for today, Xiao Wang. I will now accompany you to visit the Badaling Great Wall."

"First of all, let me mention some precautions. The road is slippery when it rains, and the Great Wall steps are actually much steeper than you might imagine. Please make sure to hold onto the handrails on both sides."

He spoke rapidly, rattling off a string of numbers: "We'll take everyone to the cable car station. Whether you want to take the cable car to the North Eighth Floor is up to you. We've already booked round-trip cable car tickets."

"Meet at around 4 PM next to the cable car station; the bus is parked there. Don't be late! We'll wait a maximum of ten minutes, and we won't wait for you if you're late! Also, a reminder that water and snacks are expensive on the Great Wall, so we suggest you buy some at the service area now to take with you..."

He paused, then changed the subject, beginning to describe the scenery along the way: "Look to your left, everyone. That grove of trees leads to the Ming Tombs, but we're not going there today. A little further ahead, you can see the outline of Prince Gong's Mansion—that's Heshen's old residence, and the golden nanmu bed he slept in there is worth hundreds of millions..."

He then mentioned the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in the Temple of Heaven, the Long Corridor in the Summer Palace, and even the popular snacks in Nanluoguxiang. The sights he mentioned rolled out like beads on a string, and the passengers in the carriage occasionally echoed his words.

My mom and aunt listened with great interest.

Chen Baiyu leaned against the window, barely listening.

The rain became very light.

A thin layer of condensation clung to the car window. He ran his fingertip through it, watching the tree shadows rush past outside.

The poplar leaves nearby were still damp, and the distant mountain shadows were shrouded in a white mist, like a watercolor painting that hadn't quite dried.

His enhanced vision allowed him to barely see the water droplets on the veins of leaves and even catch the trembling of feathers when a bird flaps its wings.

These subtle, vivid details captivated him more than the tourist attractions the tour guide described.

My mom and aunt got together.

They were discussing in hushed tones whether or not to visit Prince Gong's Mansion.

My mother, in particular, was very interested in the bed that the tour guide mentioned was worth over 100 million yuan.

Clearly, they wanted nothing more than to go up there and lie down.

Chen Baiyu responded half-heartedly. Time slowly passed.

Shortly afterward, the bus slowed down.

A prominent sign appeared ahead – “Badaling Great Wall Scenic Area”.

The wheels rolled over the wet asphalt, making a soft "rustling" sound.

The outline of the city wall in the distance could be faintly seen becoming clearer in the mist, like a sleeping dragon slowly stretching its body.

Just then, a cold, electronic voice rang out in his mind without warning.

【drop! 】

[Triggering Area Quest: Whispers of the Giant Scale]

[Mission Background: Long ago, our ancestors forged this magical dragon mechanism in the northern mountains, using flesh and blood as mud and bones as a framework. Millions of bricks are its scales, and each crack holds the soul fire of its guardian. Rain washes away the rust of time, awakening the slumbering covenant. Only those who can hear the heartbeat of the bricks can touch the truth beneath the giant scales.]

[Mission Objective: Find three ancient bricks inlaid with the "Oathkeeper's Emblem" in the northern section before 4 PM. The emblem will reveal dark gold patterns in the rain and mist, like a giant serpent flicking its tongue, showing its true form only to the "Chosen One."]

[Quest Rewards: 150 Experience Points, Special Item "Dragon Scale Dust" (Upgradeable)]

Chen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and her fingertips instinctively clenched the hem of her clothes.

coming.

A new day! A new task!

As with all previous missions, the new mission appeared suddenly without any warning.

The task description was, as always, in the style of a system riddle-like, chuunibyou (delusional) person, but the task reward looked tempting.

I don't know what the special items are for, but the words "can be upgraded" that follow them mean a lot.

In any fantasy work or game, equipment with upgradeable attributes is undoubtedly a powerful late-game asset, a treasure whose cost-effectiveness far surpasses that of ordinary items.

Of course, the Main God Space is an exception.

There, all the later professions are traps.

And apart from that.

Needless to say, the experience points reward is also substantial.

He only needs 100 experience points to reach the next level, and 150 experience points will be enough for him to reach level two.

He had already experienced the various enhancements that came with leveling up, and he was particularly looking forward to the glory that lay ahead.

Thinking.

Chen Baiyu looked up and gazed out the window.

The tour guide was still talking, and his mother's voice was buzzing in his ears, but his attention was completely drawn to the task panel in his mind.

"...So everyone remember the meeting time, and don't get separated!"

The tour guide's voice suddenly rose.

Interrupted his thoughts.

The bus slowly drove into the parking lot, and the door opened with a "whoosh," letting in a gust of damp air, mixed with the noise of tourists in the distance and the faint whistling of the mountain wind.

Chen Baiyu took a deep breath and pushed open the car door.

"The whispers of the giant scales..."

"150 experience points..."

"Special items..."

He muttered to himself.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Mom had already pulled Auntie toward the cable car, then turned back and called to him, "What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up!"

"You guys take the cable car, I want to try climbing it myself."

Chen Baiyu said this.
