Happiness System

Everyone was impressed by the endless, undulating mountains before them.

Young Master Wen examined the map closely. "There are no markings indicating such a large area of ​​such steep mountains. Could they have appeared suddenly?"

The maps of the various planets they possessed had a very low error rate. They couldn't think of any other reason than that the mountains had appeared suddenly, since they had already proven that the mountains before them were not an illusion.

Seeing Qin Chuyun staring at their car, Luo Qian said with a wry smile, "Maybe the treasure is right here in the heart of these mountains?"

Qin Chuyun rolled her eyes at him. "Wake up! Why don't you just say the treasure is hidden at the bottom of the mountain and we can dig a tunnel to get it?"

He Gong quipped, "Yes, after we retrieve the treasure, we can also use these vehicles to transport it. It's perfect!"

No one expected that their words would come true. After a few laughs and self-deprecating remarks, they decided to dig a hole and hide the car, and come back to retrieve it if they had the chance.

Of course, if the restrictions are lifted, these cars will temporarily lose their purpose. Anyway, they're not very valuable, so we can just make another batch when we get back to our home planet.

By this time, they had been struggling on this desolate planet for two months. They had used up nearly half of the food they had cleared out, and the vehicle's gas power was also exhausted. Now they were relying on solar power.

It took them another two days to dig a hole in the mountainside to hide the car before they could climb up the mountain with their heavy load.

Qin Chuyun almost slipped and tumbled down the mountain when she looked back halfway down. Yu Chi Jinlan pulled her closer by his hand, and she gasped, "Is it really this steep? I didn't feel this way down here!"

This is almost fifty degrees, right? In some places, the angle is probably over seventy degrees, and there are only sparse, poorly growing mutant grasses all around, not even a single sturdy tree.

If you accidentally fall, there's nowhere to cushion your fall; you'll be sent tumbling down the mountain in an instant.

"Pay attention while you walk!"

Yu Chi Jin simply found a rope and tied the two of them together.

Qin Chuyun glanced at the rope around her waist and muttered, "It would be better to carry me up!"

Without saying a word, Yu Chi Jinlan simply tossed her onto his back, saying, "If you have any requests, just say so!"

Qin Chuyun chuckled, "I'm just worried you'll get too tired."

"A soldier's body is not as weak as you think!"

He had only put up with his wife's pace earlier, knowing her request, so he hadn't carried her on his back at the beginning. Now that she was on his back, Yu Chi Jinlan quickened his pace and climbed up.

The mountain looked high, but it was even higher to climb. It took them almost half a day to reach the top.

Qin Chuyun stared blankly at the abyss-like pit before her. "We...we're going down?"

They were going to go down, of course, but before that, they sent soldiers to survey the central pit.

Unsurprisingly, all three families decided to go down and investigate. They wanted to know what was causing that inexplicable longing in their hearts and what was causing that strange attraction to the pit.

Looking at the slope, which was more than 75 degrees, and the dark pit, Qin Chuyun felt only resistance. "How about I wait for you here?"

Yu Chi Jinlan tossed her the binoculars, "The nearest team will arrive here in less than a day."

They can spot others, and others can spot them too, especially since their current position is almost completely unobstructed.

Qin Chuyun glanced around casually and sighed, "So many people. It seems there's some kind of 'thing' drawing people this way."

The team closest to them has over 500 members, more than all three of them combined, so it's probably a large alliance.

Moreover, a dense crowd of people from further away is also rushing towards this direction.

What Qin Chuyun didn't know was that this was truly fate. Just two days ago, the captains of each team and the leaders of each family had all entered his dreams.

The treasure in my dream is located on this mountain.

If one person dreams of something, it might be false, but if everyone dreams of it, regardless of whether it's true or false, they all have to come and find out.

That's what drew everyone to come here one after another.

At that time, Qin Chuyun and the others were already very close to this place. In addition, this place was a place they had to pass through. Presumably, due to the influence of the magnetic field here, although they were not entered into a dream, they were constantly attracted to this place.

Otherwise, if they had seen the mountain from afar, they should have planned ahead to avoid it.

Qin Chuyun had played Plants vs. Zombies before when she was just relaxing, and now that she was looking at those people who were smaller than ants, she suddenly felt it was fitting.

Then she was also startled, "There are too many people. Not to mention that the car we hid under is likely to be discovered, with so many people, in less than three days, there will be more than 10,000 people surrounding this mountain. Wouldn't we be surrounded like dumplings?"

Yu Chi Jinlan shook her head. "If there really is a treasure here, perhaps this is the key to our departure. If we don't find anything, everyone else will see it too. If we do obtain the treasure, the restriction will be lifted, and we can leave together!"

Everyone's high-tech equipment is restricted, so the amount of stuff they can carry is limited, and whether they've found any treasure is obvious.

Qin Chuyun nodded, "It seems that's the case. We now have a time advantage."

But how are we supposed to get down here?

A slope approaching a 90-degree angle, what's the difference between that and jumping off a cliff?

However, these were no big deal to the soldiers.

Everyone had canes, weapons, or other support sticks. They gathered these together, and the soldiers drove in nails as they moved downhill...

If it weren't for the many uncontrollable things below, the brave soldiers could have controlled their speed and run downhill!

Qin Chuyun was still being carried on Yu Chi Jinlan's back, and even some frail doctors and pharmacists were tied to the backs of the soldiers.

Everyone was focused on moving downhill, while on the other side of the mountain, which no one was paying attention to, a team had already arrived.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, everyone had the same thought: This is it!

Going up the mountain is easy, but coming down is hard; the porters should not complain about their toil. If you ask what the cheapest thing in the world is, how much is a pint of sweat worth?

By the time the most recent team reached the top, it was already dark.

Qin Chuyun and the others had already disappeared into the fog and shadows.

None of the soldiers complained, and no one spoke. Their minds were entirely focused on their hands and feet, and they didn't even have time to wipe away the sweat.

Qin Chuyun heard Yu Chi Jinlan's breathing gradually become heavier, but at this moment she dared not get down. She could only take advantage of the cover of night to stuff some good things into his mouth.

The people next to them smelled the faint fragrance but didn't say anything. They had encountered many teams along the way, and compared to them, they were incredibly fortunate. They were not only well-fed but also didn't expend much energy or superpowers.

What's wrong with eating alone?

This is all just how it should be!

Thanks to the soldiers' perseverance and strength, they reached the bottom of the pit in the same amount of time it took to climb the mountain.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was nothing below except a series of dark holes.

After discussing it, the leaders decided to rest on the spot and wait until dawn to discuss everything.

Although nothing unusual was found in the pit, the temperature was not high. Even though Qin Chuyun was wearing a temperature-controlled garment, she felt chilly and kept burrowing into Yu Chi Jinlan's arms because of the cold.

Yu Chi Jinlan pulled out her clothes that she had nowhere to wash, "Wear them, they're not dirty and don't smell!"

It's just that women are being dramatic; soldiers like them never even changed their clothes!

Qin Chuyun sighed, "I won't wear it. Just bring the bedding over, I want to rest for a bit."

Yu Chi Jinlan nodded, had someone bring their belongings over, opened the self-inflating mattress, and unwrapped the blankets...

Only after settling the people in were he able to meet with the other two families to discuss the follow-up matters.

It was not long before dawn. Realizing there was no danger, the teams did not assign anyone to guard the area and allowed the soldiers to rest and recover their strength.

Yu Chi Jinlan and the others quickly communicated and found places to rest.

No one knew that they would sleep for ten hours.

When they woke up and found that it was still pitch black all around, no one thought anything was wrong. They assumed that this was how it was supposed to be, since their current location was estimated to be several hundred meters lower than the foot of the mountain outside, and the white fog also blocked the light.

At the mountaintop, the sun peeked out much later than usual. As the surroundings began to brighten, everyone breathed a sigh of relief but also became more vigilant, especially wary of the dark, deep pit.

For the time being, those on the mountaintop have not yet made up their minds to go down.

Two days later, when the mountaintop was filled with people, someone finally discovered the nail marks that Qin Chuyun and his group had made.

Unfortunately, these teams didn't have as many tools as Qin Chuyun and his team. In addition, the teams were wary of each other, so they couldn't follow suit even if they found traces or shortcuts that saved effort.

However, these teams were truly brave. They didn't send all their members down, and even their leader didn't go out. They only arranged for the vanguard to rush down.

Because they had been observing for too long, Qin Chuyun and the others had already been down there for three days!

Everyone was still thinking about how to avoid running into those people, but those people didn't make a move for a long time. They were so scared by the restriction that they were speechless.

"Does it feel like we're going in circles?"

Although they hadn't encountered any other teams or seen any of their own logos after walking for several days, they still felt like they were stuck in the same place.

"Could it be that we're trapped in a maze of ghosts?"

How about we use a boy's urine to break the curse?

Don't think that superstition will disappear in the future; that's absolutely impossible!

Believe it or not, quite a few people have this idea. Many soldiers said they have some in reserve and are eager to try unbuckling their belts.

Qin Chuyun quickly ran far away, exclaiming, "Oh my god, this tunnel is unbearable!"

Although she felt that simply staying in one place ruled out being trapped in a maze, what if it was?

If she really comes back later, she'll be suffocated by the stench!

Her behavior had a somewhat panicked and desperate air about her, and she tripped over it without realizing it.

She gasped and frantically tried to steady herself to avoid falling and embarrassing herself, but somehow she kicked something or bumped into the wall and ended up crashing into the newly opened stone chamber.

I almost fell.

After regaining her footing, she looked around, still shaken, and didn't dare to move around recklessly, worried that there might be traps!
