With powerful Inner Qi, Zhan Lingfeng did not descend the mountain like an ordinary person; instead, he adopted a skiing technique, his feet touching the ground while his body glided down.
Like a forest bird, Zhan Lingfeng quickly rushed down in a short amount of time.
As he looked around, Zhan Lingfeng's face twitched. He realized that those from the National Mountaineering Team who had followed him were likely dead.
The avalanche was severe, with a thunderous roar as years of accumulated snow and ice cascaded down the mountain. It would be a miracle if anyone following behind survived.
Checking his Merit Points, Zhan Lingfeng could only smile wryly. Indeed, 6,000 points had been deducted. Fortunately, some points were returned after a few people died; otherwise, the recently activated Sky Net would have to be shut down again.
Having grown accustomed to life and death, Zhan Lingfeng was not affected by the deaths of so many people. To him, survival was paramount.
Finding a spot, Zhan Lingfeng took some items from the Medicine Cauldron, set up a tent, cooked a meal, and then took a nap.
If he descended too quickly, others would surely become suspicious!
The next day, Zhan Lingfeng researched the situation of Spiritual Energy on the mountain for a while. As he suspected, Spiritual Energy merely passed through and did not linger for long.
However, when Zhan Lingfeng ascended again later that day, abundant Spiritual Energy floated back in.
On the third day, after waiting nearly a whole day at this location, Spiritual Energy returned once again after twelve intervals.
It seemed that Spiritual Energy circled the Earth and arrived every twelve intervals—not exactly twelve but slightly delayed each time!
Understanding the situation, Zhan Lingfeng practiced for several days and lost interest in the matter of Spiritual Energy. While it was beneficial for cultivation, its effects on him were not significant.
Time to go back!
Zhan Lingfeng rushed down the mountain like the wind once again.
When Zhan Lingfeng reached the six-thousand-meter mark, he immediately saw too many people gathered there.
"Zhan Lingfeng!"
Someone with sharp eyes spotted Zhan Lingfeng descending.
Zhan Lingfeng pretended to be exhausted, taking slow steps down.
"It's Zhan Lingfeng back!"
At that moment, the Chinese Nationals waiting there became excited.
Li Yongfeng rushed over and exclaimed, "You're still alive!"
The media reporters all approached, surrounding Zhan Lingfeng and asking about the situation.
"I don't know the details either. I was hiding in a cave during the avalanche and managed to survive. I successfully reached the summit, and these are the recordings I made."
Zhan Lingfeng handed over all the footage he had recorded.
"Really?"
An official from the National Mountaineering Team asked with surprise as he took the recording device.
Everyone was crowded there to watch, and after seeing this, everyone became excited again.
Especially when they saw that Zhan Lingfeng had even left a message at the mountain peak, an official from the National Mountaineering Team laughed heartily and said, "This message is great; there is clear proof at the summit. If anyone doesn't believe it, just climb up and take a look, ha ha."
The reporters went even crazier; the youngest climber had successfully reached Everest, which was a world first!
In no time, everyone spread the news through various channels.
Zhan Lingfeng no longer cared about these matters; for him, what he could do had already been done, and all he was waiting for was to reap the Reputation Value.
Sometimes Zhan Lingfeng felt emotional; without advanced communication technology, it was really difficult to gain Reputation Value. If it were in later times with live streaming technology, he could have done live streaming of the climb.
Thinking of this, Zhan Lingfeng wondered if he could bring those technologies forward.
When Zhan Lingfeng returned to the countryside, the entire country and abroad were promoting this event.
Of course, the avalanche and Zhan Lingfeng's successful summit happened simultaneously. Many people died in the avalanche, but Zhan Lingfeng from Huaguo successfully reached the summit at such a young age. This quickly became a topic of conversation for everyone.
For Chinese nationals, this was even more enjoyable to discuss; it was a matter of national pride, and the country was making every effort to report on it.
When Zhan Lingfeng returned, Li Xiuli's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "I heard so many people died in the avalanche; I was worried sick."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled and said, "Who am I? How could I die so easily?"
One by one, people came to see Zhan Lingfeng; even his father immediately sent him back to the village to let everyone see him.
In the countryside, the village was filled with welcoming crowds. For someone who brought honor to the country, everyone in the village felt a sense of pride.
After finally receiving these enthusiastic people, Zhan Lingfeng was finally able to quietly check his gains.
When he looked at the Merit Points, Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback.
One and a half billion Merit Points!
Seeing so many Merit Points, Zhan Lingfeng was also shocked.
"Artifact Spirit, how could there be so many Merit Points?"
"There are over six billion people on Earth, and more than a billion in Huaguo know about you. Each of them contributed one Reputation Value per day. Since your actions have boosted everyone's morale, it's hard for them to forget. Therefore, over so many days, with the daily increase in Reputation Value, everyone has contributed no less than ten points of Reputation Value for you."
"That still doesn't seem enough. I remember it takes a hundred points of Reputation Value to earn one Merit."
"Yes, they definitely aren't enough. However, you are the youngest person to reach Everest, and the whole world knows about it. Many schools will include your story in their political lessons. Think about it—besides Huaguo, there are billions of people worldwide. Each person contributes some Reputation Value every day. After so many days, you must have accumulated a large amount of Reputation Value, which translates into that many Merit Points."
Zhan Lingfeng then understood the situation and felt somewhat excited. He used to hesitate to spend even a thousand Merit Points, but now that he suddenly had so many Merit Points, he said to the Artifact Spirit, "Open Sky Net immediately; I want to be online every day!"
"Host, given that your Merit Points are sufficient, some projects can now be recharged and activated."
"Some projects? What projects?" Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat surprised.
