Ready

171: I exercise a lot, and I'm used to it.

The remaining people were exhausted, but seeing Lei Jun still walking steadily, they all held their breath and pushed on.

She must be faking it. Her stamina must have hit rock bottom already, and she's just toughing it out. If we hold on a bit longer, she'll definitely stop!

Right, she probably has great explosive power but poor endurance. Follow her a bit longer, and she'll definitely fail!

They encouraged each other, gritting their teeth as they continued to follow.

Just then, Lin Xiaoya's voice came through with a hint of a sob: "Sister Lei, I can't do it anymore. My legs are like jelly; I can't even take another step."

Lei Jun stopped and turned around. Lin Xiaoya's face was flushed red and drenched in sweat. She was leaning against the city wall, barely able to stand.

Su Qing and Su Ya weren't doing much better. Su Qing was supporting Su Ya, both of them gasping for air as sweat poured down their faces.

Lin Xiaoya panted, "Sister Lei, you four go ahead. Sister Su Qing, Sister Su Ya, and I really can't keep up. We'll wait for you here."

She was shocked. Sister Lei and the three Lei Shadows were perfectly fine. Sister Lei's silver hair wasn't even messy, there wasn't a drop of sweat on her face, and her breathing was as steady as if she were taking a stroll.

Su Qing also nodded, her voice weak: "Yes, Miss Lei, we really can't hold on. Don't worry about us, go ahead and climb. We'll be fine after a short rest."

Su Ya nodded along, lacking even the strength to speak.

Miss Lei and the others had been climbing for so long, yet they weren't tired at all!

This stamina was terrifying!

Lin Xiaoya wiped her sweat.

Sister Lei usually looked so refined; she hadn't expected her stamina to be this good!

She'd seen her fight well last time and thought she was just skilled, but her endurance was also freakish!

And the three Lei Shadows were acting like it was nothing too. Had they all practiced martial arts?

The more she thought about it, the more magical it seemed, and her admiration for Lei Jun grew even more.

Lei Jun walked over and naturally supported Lin Xiaoya, then said to Lei Yue, "You help Su Qing, and Lei Cai, you help Su Ya."

Then she smiled and said, "It's fine, no rush. We'll walk slowly. We'll help you climb. We're in no hurry to reach the top anyway, let's just take a slow stroll."

This distance was nothing to her. With a body strengthened by the system, her stamina had long reached the limits of humanity. Climbing the Great Wall was as easy as a walk in the park.

The three Lei Shadows were Bionic Humans; they didn't know the meaning of fatigue, so supporting someone while walking was no pressure at all.

Seeing this, the people following behind felt a spark of hope again, and their spirits lifted!

A tall, thin young man's eyes lit up.

"As expected, they can't hold on anymore and started supporting each other! Now is my chance to show off!"

"I'll go up and help her support that young girl. Maybe I can win her favor and get her WeChat."

He wanted to step forward, but after just two steps, a glare from Lei Ying sent him scurrying back, his hand quickly retracted in fear.

A man wearing a hat pulled down his brim.

"Supporting three people while walking will drain her stamina even faster. She definitely won't last long. I'll hold on a bit longer, and when she's completely exhausted, I'll go up and offer a bottle of water. Maybe we can get acquainted."

He took a bottle of water out of his backpack and gripped it, ready to step forward at any moment.

A muscular man patted his muscles.

"Supporting people while walking, she'll stop after five hundred meters at most. I didn't train these muscles for nothing; this little bit of exertion is nothing. When she stops, that'll be my time to shine!"

He puffed out his chest, intentionally displaying his muscles.

Thus, everyone was filled with motivation, and their fatigue seemed to lessen.

They continued to follow Lei Jun and the others.

But the next stretch of the journey drove these people to utter despair.

Lei Jun supported Lin Xiaoya, while Lei Yue and Lei Cai supported Su Qing and Su Ya. Their steps remained steady, moving upward step by step without the slightest pause.

Lin Xiaoya and the others felt tired at first, but with the support of Lei Jun and the others, their steps became steady as they slowly adapted to the rhythm. Though they were still panting, they could at least keep moving forward.

Meanwhile, the people following behind were already exhausted, and the hope they had just kindled was quickly swallowed by fatigue.

What's going on?

She can still walk so steadily while supporting someone?

This is ridiculous!

The crowd couldn't hold on any longer. They plopped down on the steps, unable to get back up.

Some could barely even hold their water bottles. Looking at the retreating backs of Lei Jun and the others, they were completely defeated.

We give up, we really give up!

This stamina isn't human!

Supporting three people and still walking for so long!

Too freakish!

This isn't even the same level!

This isn't just good stamina; this is practically a superhero!

Everyone gave up completely, watching Lei Jun and her group disappear ahead, left with nothing but sheer shock.

Lei Jun supported Lin Xiaoya to a spot further ahead and stopped to rest.

She looked back. The people who had been following were all slumped on the steps—some sitting, some lying down, others rubbing their legs. No one could keep up.

Lei Jun couldn't help but smile triumphantly.

Humph!

That's what you get for overestimating yourselves!

Serves you right!

She took water from her backpack and handed it to Lin Xiaoya and the others: "Drink some water and rest for ten minutes, then we'll head further up. There are fewer people ahead, and the scenery is better."

Lin Xiaoya took the water, gulped it down, and looked at Lei Jun with eyes full of worship: "Sister Lei, you're amazing!"

"You supported me for so long and you're perfectly fine. How on earth did you train?"

Lei Jun made up an excuse: "I exercise a lot normally, so I'm used to it."

She looked at the distant scenery, feeling great.

The Great Wall was indeed magnificent; no wonder it's a world wonder.

But this task was too easy. Climbing the Great Wall for 2,000 godly tycoon coins—if there are more tasks like this, bring them on!

...By the time Lei Jun came down from the Great Wall, 2,000 godly tycoon coins were easily in her pocket.

While Lei Ying went to get the car, she leaned against a tree by the road and opened the system.

The 'Task' tab on the homepage was still flashing with a completion notification. she casually entered the 'System Shop.' Just as she hit the refresh button, a golden skill icon popped up, instantly catching her eye.

[God-tier Horsemanship: Price 10,000 godly tycoon coins]

[Once the host learns this, they will master all equestrian techniques from ancient to modern times, including dressage, show jumping, endurance racing, etc...]

[Can instantly establish a mental link with any horse, achieving the state of 'man and horse as one' without any adjustment period.]

[Automatically gains a balance buff when riding; regardless of how the horse bumps or gets startled, the host will sit steadily in the saddle.]

[Can accurately judge a horse's health and emotional fluctuations, easily taming even the wildest steeds.]

Lei Jun's eyes brightened.

Good!

God-tier Horsemanship?

This looks exciting!

She hadn't really ridden a horse much, but she occasionally saw videos of equestrian competitions and always thought the way the rider and horse worked together was exceptionally cool.

Besides, the skills provided by the system never disappointed; this God-tier Horsemanship would definitely be top-notch.

10,000 godly tycoon coins... looks like I need to do more tasks to save up.

Maybe in the future when I go to the grasslands or a racecourse, this skill will be very useful.

Well... save up first. I must have this God-tier Horsemanship!
