"What cable car?" The chief looked puzzled.
"The one for going up the mountain, of course," Jiang Lu's expression changed subtly, "You can't be serious... There isn't one?"
"There's no such thing," the chief said, walking toward the stairs with his hands behind his back, "To ascend Mount Kunlun, one must climb step by step, unless you can fly."
Jiang Lu stood still for a moment to collect his thoughts, then quickly caught up to the chief, asking hopefully, "Is there any chance that you can fly and take me up with you?"
"Me?" The chief chuckled and shook his head, "Of course I can, but I wouldn't do that because I'm here to ask for a favor, and how could I be so impolite?"
Jiang Lu stopped walking and silently stared at the stooped silhouette of the chief.
Damn, you can fly and just now you made me ride an electric scooter?
No choice, gotta climb...
As the old saying goes, mountains run dead horses.
