Chen Yu didn't linger here any longer. After purchasing all the equipment he needed, he headed straight for the northern foothills of the Himalayas.
"Kid, you're going the wrong way!" A rough voice suddenly called out from behind Chen Yu, "No one can make it up there, and all the paths have been closed off. If you keep going forward, there's nothing but a dead end ahead."
Chen Yu turned around to see a young man with a scruffy beard standing there.
From the young man's attire, it seemed he also planned to climb Mount Everest, only he was heading towards the southern foothills of the Himalayas.
Chen Yu cracked a slight smile, "Life, you see, is about taking on challenges, and I just want to find out just how perilous these northern foothills really are."
Giving a noncommittal response, Chen Yu continued on his way.
Time passed, and when Chen Yu had climbed halfway up the mountain, he suddenly realized someone was following him - it was the young man from earlier.
