Chapter 440 Taking Doro to the Summit of Mount Hua

Regret is regret, but since we're already here, there's no reason not to reach the top.

Pina walked among the doro, entered the ticket checkpoint, and officially embarked on her mountain climb.

The mountain road behind the ticket checkpoint seemed to stretch endlessly.

It remains a standard slope of around 5%.

Not very friendly to people with short legs.

Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature felt quite warm.

The four little ones opened their down jackets one after another, supporting each other as they moved forward, making sure no one fell behind.

After 10 minutes and walking 500 meters, we finally reached a rest stop.

Upon spotting a place to rest in the distance, Pina immediately took off running without a word, panting as she reached the shed and collapsed onto it.

"Ah...ah..."

Even sighing was too exhausting for Pina; she closed her eyes tightly and opened her mouth wide to take a deep breath.

This is terrible!

It feels so uncomfortable.

Am I going to die?

Excessive physical exertion can cause dizziness, and dizziness can trigger nausea. Pina gagged a few times before feeling better.

Seeing that Pina was in such distress, Huang Musong quickly took out a Hong Kong version of Coca-Cola from his backpack, pulled off the tab, and handed it to Doraemon.

Doro understands what people mean.

It immediately ran to help Pina drink her beverage.

Her big eyes were brimming with tears, filled with heartache and sympathy.

Helping Pina sit up, Doro poured her a drink while saying considerately, "Are you alright? If you can't hold on, let's go back. It's okay if we don't reach the summit. Although the tickets weren't cheap, your health is more important!"

Doro never believed that anything was necessary to do.

Being well-fed comes first, health second, and happiness third.

Being well-fed naturally leads to good health, and good health naturally leads to a happy mood.

Climbing a mountain, it's wonderful if you succeed, but what if you fail?

Doro didn't want Pina to force herself anymore.

Similarly, Donas felt that Pina didn't need to persist, since Sister Su and Taihua were still in the RV and she could go back and keep them company.

"Why don't you take Dorothy down the mountain?"

"It's almost done for too!"

Donas glanced at Dorothy and was certain that it could only walk another three kilometers at most, which was exactly the distance from here down the mountain to the parking lot.

Dorothy followed slowly, breathing heavily, and plopped down next to Pina.

If Doraemon or Pina said "no,"

Dorothy would definitely admit it openly and honestly.

I'm just an intelligent doro who's not good at sports!

But since these words came from Donas's mouth, Dorothy had to refute them no matter what.

How did you know I was dying?

"Do you believe I can climb to the top of the mountain on my own? I might even be faster than you! I'll be waiting for you at the top then, let's see what you have to say then~" With eyes full of wisdom, Dorothy confidently challenged her companion.

Donas calls herself the Marshal of the Doro, and her overall strength is the strongest among the Doro race, of which physical ability is a part.

As the king of Doro, Doro also possesses incredible physical abilities.

Donas thought that Doro might be able to climb mountains faster than she could.

As for Dorothy...

"Haha~"

"I... I didn't hear that right, did I? You can climb to the top of the mountain faster than me?"

"Ouch! My stomach hurts..."

Donas was so amused by Dorothy's humor that she couldn't stop laughing, then frowned, clutched her stomach, and gasped for breath.

Anticipating that her friends would laugh at her for bragging, Dorothy pretended to be angry, pouting as she questioned, "What are you grinning about? Don't you believe I can climb to the top of the mountain faster than you? How about we bet our allowances this month on who can climb to the top faster?"

"If you lose, give me your allowance. If I lose, you get your allowance."

"Do you dare—?"

Dorothy deliberately drew out her words, using her tried-and-true method of provocation to lure Donas into her trap.

Donas wasn't smart enough to see through Dorothy's trickery; she just felt that something seemed off.

hiss.

Would the clever Dorothy take a bet she was sure to lose?

There are definitely details I didn't expect!

However, even if Dorothy cheats, I don't believe she can reach the top faster than me.

"Let's gamble!"

"What's the point of gambling away only a month's allowance?"

"I'll bet you two months' allowance. Dorothy, if you reach the top, I'll give you a month's allowance. If you climb faster than me, I'll give you another month's allowance." Donas put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and pointed her nose to the sky.

The words "Victory is assured" seemed to be written all over his face.

Donas firmly believes that at most she will lose a month's allowance, which is acceptable.

This month's allowance is for respecting Dorothy's wisdom!

I will definitely not lose out on next month's allowance. Who doesn't have a secret weapon?

After finalizing the bet, Donas glanced at Huang Musong and then at Alvin, wanting the two of them to be the referees.

Huang Musong never interfered with the kids' bets.

Gambling in moderation is fine, just don't go too far.

Moreover, the fact that Dorothy dared to gamble proves that she was absolutely certain of winning.

Huang Musong also wanted to see what kind of mountain climbing tricks Dorothy had up her sleeve.

Pina, standing nearby, drank cola to replenish her energy; she had almost fully recovered.

During her break, as she listened to Dorothy and Donas make their bet, Pina vaguely understood a crucial question—

—My area of ​​expertise is explosive power!

I used to fish in the river often, which honed my explosive power, but my endurance became a weakness.

Those with low endurance are not suitable for prolonged uphill climbing.

Those with explosive power should sprint in short distances!

Having figured this out, Pina stood up and gazed at the endless, sloping mountain road.

"There."

Pina raised her hand and pointed to the next hut where she could rest, and said to Doro, "I'm going to run there as fast as I can, then sit down and rest until you arrive."

"Take your time, don't rush. I've found that sprinting uphill suits me better; walking slowly for a long time is actually quite tiring."

"I'll be waiting for you up ahead!"

As soon as Pina finished speaking, she suddenly took off running and dashed a hundred meters away.

The racing speed for a human 100-meter sprint is 10 seconds.

A greyhound's show-level sprint time is 6 seconds.

Pina completed a set of 100-meter sprints in 15 seconds.

This speed is not Pina's limit; if she goes all out, she can shorten it by another 3 seconds.

Currently, while hiking, there's no need to push too hard; completing the 100-meter dash in 15 seconds is the most comfortable sprinting state for Pina.

Upon reaching the first rest stop, Pina stretched and ran forward again after only a few seconds.

Seeing Pina running further and further away, Donas quickly took off after her.

In terms of explosive power, Donas is slightly less than Pina, but not by much.

Leaving Doraemon and Dorothy behind.

Donas excitedly ran towards Pina.

It wanted to test how much less explosive power it was than Pina.

Watching Donas run off into the distance, Dorothy remained calm and unhurried, taking slow, leisurely steps and humming a tune contentedly.

Not worried at all about losing the bet, Dorothy was confident of victory and was already planning how to use Donas's allowance for investment next month.

Doro followed closely behind Huang Musong, slowly walking forward and admiring the mountain scenery along the way: "Wow~, there are big mushrooms on the rocks high up, look!"

Wild Ganoderma lucidum grows on cliffs, making it extremely difficult and costly to harvest.

Professional teams generally do not go to scenic areas to pick wild Ganoderma lucidum.

The Ganoderma lucidum discovered by Duoluo was too small to be harvested.

However, the professional team believes it's unnecessary, but Doro might not see it that way.

Summon the Doro item {rocking horse}.

Doraemon wiggled his buttocks.

The rocking horse slowly drove towards the cliff on the side of the mountain road.

A 90-degree right-angle cliff, which even professional climbers might not dare to challenge, can be traversed by a rocking horse as if it were flat ground.

"Heave-ho!"

Doro shook his body vigorously to give the rocking horse more momentum to climb, panting heavily, but his eyes were fixed intently on the Ganoderma lucidum.

"Big mushrooms~, perfect for soup~, so delicious~."

Doro muttered to himself that he planned to cook a big pot of mushroom soup for Sister Su when he got back, to nourish her body.

Looking up at the rocking horse propelling the wobbly car up the mountain wall, Huang Musong was not worried at first, after all, he had seen the special function of the rocking horse before.

But as Doraemon climbed higher and higher,

Huang Musong couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

It's over ten meters high, I don't even want to think about what would happen if someone fell from there!

Huang Musong was so nervous that he kept swallowing, his hands trembling slightly. He wanted to remind Duoluo to be careful, but he was afraid that shouting would frighten it.

Alwen stood to the side, looking up at Duoluo picking Ganoderma lucidum, while observing Huang Musong's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

After spending a long time together, Alvin developed a growing fondness for Huang Musong, which evolved from infatuation to love.

For boys, a masculine appearance is essential, but a gentle heart is an even bigger plus!

Touched by Huang Musong's meticulous care for Duoluo,

Alvin decided that she wanted to do something too.

Avoiding the surveillance cameras in the scenic area, Alwen took a deep breath and then stomped her right foot hard on the ground.

"Thump"

With a muffled thud, Alwen leaped into the air, using the protrusions on the cliff face to launch herself upwards, displaying her Cloud-Ladder Leaping skill.

After jumping behind Doraemon,

Alwen grabbed Doro by the back of the neck with her left hand, picked a Ganoderma lucidum with her right hand, and kicked off the stone wall to land.

Suddenly, the back of his neck was grabbed, and Doro was unable to move for a moment. It took him two seconds to come to his senses and realize that he had landed.

Let's review what just happened.

Doro let out a loud "Wow!" and looked up at Alwen with admiration in his big eyes.

"Sister Alvin is so amazing~"

"Can you really jump that high?"

"No wonder Donas always praises your martial arts skills! If I had your abilities, I would be the most powerful 'King Doro'!" Doro didn't hold back his praise. After saying the compliment, he took the Ganoderma lucidum from the other party's hand.

For Alwen, leaping only a dozen meters was like walking on flat ground.

A trivial display of skill.

As a result, Doraemon praised him highly.

This made Alvin a little embarrassed.

Not only was Dorothy overwhelmed by her skills, but Dorothy was also quite shocked.

"Practice until your physique resembles that of a crane..."

"Sister Arwen's descent was so beautiful! Like a crane! So powerful and beautiful!" Dorothy spoke quickly, and as soon as she finished speaking, she leaned close to Dorothy to examine the Ganoderma closely.

Having once lived in a small town south of the capital, Dorothy has extensive experience in stealing vegetables and knows all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Ganoderma lucidum,

Shaped like a mushroom

But it doesn't seem to be a mushroom?

Could these mushrooms that grow on cliffs be poisonous?

The poisonous mushrooms were deadly, and Dorothy, fearing the Ganoderma lucidum was inedible, quickly took out her phone to take a picture and send it to Taihua.

Taihua is very knowledgeable.

Dorothy believed she could tell whether the "big mushroom" was edible.

at the same time

Inside the RV in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, Su Qingyao was leisurely making egg tarts.

Dorothy loves sweets, and egg tarts are a perfect match for her; eating one will make her happy for a long time.

I can't accompany the Doro fans to climb Mount Hua today.

Su Qingyao wanted the four little ones to have delicious egg tarts when they came back.

High-calorie foods are enough to replenish the energy consumed during the hike.

Pour milk and egg mixture into the egg tart dough, put the whole tray of egg tarts into the oven, and Su Qingyao sat back in her original position to wait for the egg tarts to come out of the oven.

Su Qingyao suddenly felt a stomachache, but after drinking a sip of warm brown sugar water, she gradually felt much better.

Since eating the dragon meat jerky, Su Qingyao's physical condition has improved significantly, and she no longer experiences severe discomfort during her menstrual period.

Of course, this is on the premise that you don't do strenuous exercise, otherwise you will still feel uncomfortable.

In the RV bedroom,

Taihua is focused on reading.

The pop-up message notification on her phone screen distracted her.

The message came from Dorothy, asking if Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) is poisonous and whether it can be eaten.

Based on the photo analysis, the Ganoderma lucidum in Dorothy's hand is edible, but it is best to consume it in small amounts every day.

Reishi mushroom is nourishing, but eating too much can easily cause internal heat and nosebleeds.

After telling Dorothy about the benefits and side effects of Ganoderma lucidum, Taihua continued reading and studying.

山间

Upon learning that Ganoderma lucidum was a valuable substance, Dorothy was overjoyed and handed it to Huang Musong, asking him to keep it for her.

"Hey, Taihua says this kind of mushroom is called Lingzhi. You know it too, right? Let's take the Lingzhi back and make soup for Sister Su to warm her up." After Dorothy finished speaking, she took Dorothy's hand and started climbing the mountain again.

A few hundred meters ahead, Pina sprinted several times before reaching a fork in the road, where she sat down to recover her strength.

Sprinting emphasizes explosive power.

Pina's explosive power is stronger than Donas's.

Donas couldn't catch up with Pina at all.

Just as Pina sat down to rest again, Donas sped up her running and braked suddenly three meters away from Pina.

Breathing a little rapidly, Donas also felt tired, so she lay down and looked up at the blue sky.

"The weather is so nice!"

"It's warmer now than it was this morning."

"Pina, I just made a bet with Dorothy to see who can reach the top of the mountain first. Can you guess what kind of trick Dorothy has up her sleeve?"

As she asked, Donas took out two Snickers bars from her tail space, ate one herself, and handed one to Pina.

Pina had a full breakfast and wasn't hungry, so she didn't order a Snickers bar.

She pursed her lips.

Pina felt her mouth was dry.

So, without any hesitation, they searched for juice in Donas's tail space.

Fruit juice is more thirst-quenching than cola, and because it doesn't have bubbles, you can drink more of it.

After gulping down her drink, Pina burped and remarked, "Wouldn't it be too much of an exaggeration to describe it as 'scheming'? Dorothy is clever; you should say she's 'resourceful'."

"As for what strategy it will use to win..."

"Oh? I think I understand!"

After finishing her drink and lying down to rest, Pina happened to see a cable car in the mountains that went straight from the halfway point to the top.

If I'm not mistaken,

Dorothy must want to use her money.

Taking a cable car uphill is definitely faster than walking!

Having figured out Dorothy's scheme, Pina hesitated whether to tell Donas, as it seemed unfair to favor either side.

Seeing Pina's troubled expression, Donas scratched her head and subconsciously glanced in the direction Pina had been looking.

Huh?

That's a cable car!

When she lived in a college dormitory, Donas had heard of something called a "cable car" that could help humans climb mountains quickly, but she found it unbelievable and didn't believe it.

Witnessing the cable car climbing to the top of the mountain at this very moment

Donas was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth.

Damn it!

Dorothy was definitely up to her tricks!

Hehe, you were the one who tried to cheat first, so don't blame this marshal for being smart this time.

After chuckling twice, Donas threw her head back and howled, using her ability to imitate the cry of an eagle.

The cry soared straight to the sky.

Donas called upon the eagles in the mountains to come and help. (End of Chapter)
