In the reception room of the hotel, Chen Mu met the three people who were about to go up the mountain together.

The person who is engaged in real estate is called Lin Yuanchun. He is less than forty. Although he is short, he is in good health. It is said that he has always participated in outdoor sports. Although this is the first time to climb the "8000+", he has climbed some in China.

Shan is an amateur player with some experience.

The man who plays the game is called Zhang Jiahui, which has the same pronunciation as the Hong Kong actor.

His company has produced several games, which are quite popular and are said to be on the market soon.

It was also the first time for Zhang Jiahui to climb the "8000+". Like Chen Mu, he had no mountaineering experience, so he came to K2 for his first time climbing.

He has an average body, a little puffy. Although he is less than thirty, he does not look as good as Lin Yuanchun.

The remaining person is a Chinese woman in her thirties. She only has an English name, Manny. I don’t know her origin. Anyway, Xia Guohua doesn’t speak very well, so she can only say “Nice to meet you” at best.

.

Lin Yuanchun didn't know if he was in the real estate business and dealt with a lot of people, so he was obviously very good at interpersonal communication. He made people feel cosmopolitan when talking and doing things. As soon as he arrived, he exchanged contact information with Chen Mu without saying a few words.

He started shouting "Brother Chen, Brother Chen".

On the contrary, Zhang Jiahui had a bit of an otaku attribute. He didn't talk much and didn't seem to be very open-minded. He shook hands and stood aside and stopped talking.

The guide for Lin Yuanchun and the three of them was named Dorje Wangdui, and he was obviously from Tibet.

He looks paler than Phuntsok Tashi and looks closer to a Xia person.

Phuntsok Tashi and Dorje Wangdui went to the side and started talking in Tibetan. They didn’t know what they were talking about. After a while, they came back and said to the four climbers: "Today we are in the hotel.

There are a lot of people, so we can’t eat in the hotel restaurant, so we’ll simply take you out for a walk and have something to eat along the way.”

no problem……

When I entered the hotel just now, I saw the situation in the lobby. It was packed with people. I wonder if the guest capacity of this hotel is so high that it can accommodate so many people.

Led by two Tibetan guides and Zaher, four climbers followed them out.

Under normal circumstances, these people should also be equipped with a translator, but Zaher's English is pretty good and he can communicate with the two Tibetan guides, so there is no need for a translator, which can be regarded as saving money.

Walking on the street, it feels like a remote small town in China. There is only one road and two rows of small shops on the roadside. The storefronts are not big and simple, and the surrounding environment looks particularly desolate.

After walking for a while, Manny asked Zaher in English curiously: "Why don't any shops here seem to be open?"

Zaher lowered his voice a little and explained: "There is a strike going on nearby recently to protest against the high prices."

Zaher glanced at Manny and said: "Most of our people here are good people and are very kind to outsiders like you, but because this is a rural place, there are still some old stubborn people. In Sri Lanka these two days,

Kadu, you'd better wear something that can cover your hands and feet."

Because the weather was very hot, Manny was wearing shorts and short sleeves, exposing her long legs, which might be normal in other places, but in a place like this where skin cannot be easily exposed, it was eye-catching.

Manny glanced at herself, nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Zaher."

"You're welcome!"

Zaher smiled and added: "After we start entering the mountains, it doesn't matter what you wear."

His voice was very small, and he spoke English very fast and with a heavy accent. It was estimated that only Manny and Chen Mu could understand him on the spot.

Chen Mu naturally pretended not to hear anything and just looked around.

Perhaps it is true as Zaher said. Due to the strike today, many shops are not open. There are some roadside stalls selling fruits, just like some domestic vendors selling roasted sweet potatoes or watermelons on the roadside.

Just cut it and buy it directly.

What Chen Mu didn't expect was that in such a dry place, there were actually coconuts, cut into petals, which was particularly attractive.

Chen Mu felt his mouth was a little dry, so he walked over and asked about the price.

It was said to be a question, but it was actually a gesture. Zaher came over and said: "10 rupees per petal."

Is it so real?

Chen Mu was shocked when he heard the price.

Each petal costs 10 rupees, which is only 60 cents. This coconut can only be divided into four or five petals, which is only three yuan in total.

Without saying anything, Chen Mu directly paid for it and invited everyone to eat together.

By the way, I also ordered a cantaloupe, which cost 10 rupees a piece.

Then Chen Mu saw a fresh mango juicer next to him. When he went over to ask, it was still 10 rupees.

Oh my god, he suddenly had the illusion that he could order whatever he wanted here with only 10 rupees in his hand, and 100 yuan could make him the fattest kid on the street.

Everyone was not polite, and after thanking the boss, they all started eating.

Only Lin Yuanchun stood aside and smiled without making a move.

"Come on, brother Lin, let's eat together. This coconut is just okay, and the cantaloupe and mango juice are both good. It feels very sweet."

Chen Mu greeted Lin Yuanchun, and Lin Yuanchun waved his hand and said: "I heard that you shouldn't eat randomly when you come here. It's easy to get acclimated, so I better forget it."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

I knew he would be acclimatized, but I didn't even warn him. This person is not very realistic.

The thought in his mind quickly changed, and Chen Mu didn't take it seriously. We weren't acquaintances anyway, so why did they need to remind you?

So he simply didn't say hello and started eating by himself. He opened two cantaloupes in a row and was satisfied.

To be honest, the cantaloupe here is really sweet. It is very comfortable to eat it on a hot day. It feels like all the heat in the body has been sucked out at once. It is cool and refreshing.

"I didn't expect the mangoes in a place like this are so delicious. Before I came here, I thought there wouldn't be much fruit to eat here."

Zhang Jiahui, on the other hand, ate freely without being polite at all. After eating, he let out such a beautiful sigh, and then said to Chen Mu with a smile: "Thank you for the treat!"

"It's a joke!"

Chen Mu thought for a while and said: "I have also played your company's game called Doomsday Ruins, but because it was particularly unfriendly to non-RMB players from the early stages, I stopped playing it."

Zhang Jiahui was startled for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Then you can top up some money. You don't look like someone who has no money to be a RMB player. Our doomsday ruins are good in many reviews. Top up some money."

Are you still unwilling?"

"Tsk, my money didn't come from the strong wind, so why should I recharge it as soon as it comes? This is the principle, okay? You should have designed it more balanced in the early stage. Let me play for a longer time, and then

To charge money."

"You're so stingy!"

"cut!"

After just a few words, the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile at each other.

This is even if the bastard looks at the mung bean and makes eye contact.

While chatting about the game, we walked forward.

After chatting for a while, Chen Mu finally got to know Zhang Jiahui a little bit.

This person graduated from Shuimu University and majored in computers. After graduating, he worked for a relatively large domestic game company for several years, and then started his own business and founded the current company called "Wangjing Games".

To put it bluntly, he is a programmer who likes to play games, a true otaku.

No wonder I feel a little weak...

Chen Mu looked at Zhang Jiahui sweating while walking and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you exercise much? Can you climb up to K2?"

Zhang Jiahui and Chen Mu are somewhat familiar with each other. They all jokingly call each other "Boss", so they don't hide it and say with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I feel that I should be fine. Didn't they all say it?

Go to the base camp and get used to it. I'll do an evaluation if it works. If it doesn't work, I'll just quit. It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have a good mentality."

Entering a small restaurant that was still open, Zaher quickly ordered a few of the restaurant's specialty dishes without asking anyone if they wanted to.

After the things were brought out, Chen Mu understood. There was no need to ask, because everyone's things were the same.

A big bowl of fried rice, a plate of French fries and fried chicken, a big bowl of potato and mutton curry, and everyone had at least two slices of chapati.

"It's delicious, everyone. Although these things are not as good as outside, after entering the mountains, they will only be worse and the conditions are difficult. Now you have to enjoy the food more."

Dorje Wangdui greeted the four climbers, and their two Tibetan guides laughed heartily. Even Zaher, who could not understand Xia Mandarin, did the same, with a malicious look on his face.

Chen Mu didn't care. He had eaten some fruit just now, which was just enough to whet his appetite. His stomach already felt empty, lonely and cold, so he ate immediately.

Zhang Jiahui is a bit picky about food. He said that the curry potato and mutton here did not suit his taste, so he gave it to Chen Mu and he only concentrated on eating French fries and fried chicken.

Manny was more polite, she tore the pancakes and dipped them in the curry sauce and ate them slowly, which was delicious.

Lin Yuanchun was the only one among the people who didn't want to eat. He glanced at the thing in front of him and said with a smile: "Would any of you eat my share? I don't eat this kind of thing."

This kind of thing?

Chen Mu blinked his eyes and said nothing.

The two Tibetan tour guides were not polite and immediately shared Lin Yuanchun's things. They even shared a bowl of curry potato and mutton with Zaher.

Zaher glanced at Manny and saw that Manny was dipping pancakes in curry sauce and eating the curry very quickly, so he pushed Lin Yuanchun's bowl of curry potato and mutton to Manny: "You can have one more bowl."

Manny shook her head: "If you don't eat, I can hardly eat anymore."

Zaher said: "Rice can be packed and taken back. Eat this first. It will take several days to eat meat after entering the mountains. By then, you won't be able to eat even if you want to."

Manny still shook her head: "Thank you, I really can't eat anymore."
