Chapter 369: Chapter 368 East Mountain

After dealing with the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t help but start to regret. If he had known that the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that increases the Energy value limit, could also remove drowsiness, he would have definitely waited to eat it after waking up this morning.

"But regretting now is useless, I still need to figure out how I can fall asleep," Zhang Yanhang had initially thought about going home to sleep right after eating the Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t sleep again. So, now he was back to square one, which was how to evoke his drowsiness.

"First of all, using up Physical Strength definitely won’t work. My Physical Strength is really not much left. If I continue to deplete it in large amounts, it won’t be Physical Value that I’m consuming, but Life Value."

If trying to aid sleep would lead to his exhausting to death, Zhang Yanhang guessed that if there were some sort of Awakener leaderboard for bizarre ways to die, he could at least rank in the top ten. He didn’t want to be mocked even after his death.

But although he really wanted to go home and sleep, after careful consideration for a while, Zhang Yanhang couldn’t think of any method that would make him feel sleepy again. So, he decided to search the internet again for various small tricks that could induce sleep.

However, after searching, it seemed that the most practical was still sleeping pills. Unfortunately, sleeping pills did not work for the current Zhang Yanhang.

"Forget it, since I can’t sleep at all now, I might as well use this time to explore the other branches of the southwestern spur of the Lao Mountain Range, aside from Beiling Mountain, Jiading Mountain, and Shuangshan. I remember there are several other branches nearby.

Since I found Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on Beiling Mountain and Shuangshan, it’s possible that other branches might also have useful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. And even, if I’m lucky enough, I could possibly find another Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass to elevate my Energy value limit to four digits.

And even if I don’t find any Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass, finding some Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass would be very good as well, the higher the Stamina limit, the higher my hunting efficiency."

Zhang Yanhang felt that his idea was quite reliable. Since he couldn’t sleep anyway, instead of wasting time in bed, why not use this period to do something more meaningful?

With that thought, Zhang Yanhang immediately started using his phone to search for the locations of the other branches of the Lao Mountain Range’s southwestern spur.

After carefully checking the map, Zhang Yanhang found that the closest was Shuiqing Gully East Mountain, which, as the name suggests, is the mountain situated on the east side of Shuiqing Gully, which is the name of a street.

As for further away, that would only be Fushan and the mountains Signal Mountain and Observation Mountain. Speaking of these mountains, it’s necessary to mention the university where Zhang Yanhang studies. His university is split into four campuses, with three located inside Qin Island City: Fushan Campus, Fish Mountain Campus, and Lao Mountain Campus.

As you can tell from the names, all three university campuses are built beside mountains, and the campus he belongs to is Fushan Campus, so he often spends his free time scanning the surroundings there.

Therefore, Zhang Yanhang was very certain that there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Fushan, as he had just scanned it before leaving home. It was impossible for something to have suddenly grown in such a short span of time, even if fertilized with Gold Kela.

Signal Mountain and Observation Mountain, along with Fish Mountain, are as closely packed together as Beiling Mountain, Jiading Mountain, and Shuangshan, and they are also separated by just a road.

In addition, the area is surrounded by various universities, high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, and even kindergartens, making it highly developed. The environment there can’t even compare to the wilderness of Jiading Mountain; basically, there’s no chance of any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures forming there.

Even if they could form, they would probably only be those mutant types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, like when some random weed suddenly gains essence. In such cases, the usage effects of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are generally not very good, and they really wouldn’t be much different from ordinary weeds compared to the Sky Demon Crimson Crystal Grass and Sky Demon Green Crystal Grass he’s after.

And with the addition of Fushan, Observation Mountain, Signal Mountain, Fish Mountain, Beiling Mountain, Jiading Mountain, Shuangshan, and Shuiqing Gully East Mountain, that’s pretty much all the mountains in North City District and Southern City District.

Although there are also a bunch of small hills that are only dozens of meters high, those can only be considered mounds, not even qualifying as hills, and don’t even deserve a name, let alone any connection to the Lao Mountain Range.

So if Zhang Yanhang can’t find any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in Shuiqing Gully East Mountain next, he’ll have to go further to Licang District, where there are Xiang’er Mountain and Azure Dragon Mountain.

And if Xiang’er Mountain and Azure Dragon Mountain still don’t work out, then Zhang Yanhang might just have to take a trip to the Lao Mountain Range. There, there are easily several dozen peaks, and all of them have names, any one of which covers a much larger area than places like Beiling Mountain, which are essentially forest parks.

After all, just in terms of area, Lao Mountain covers a whopping 446 square kilometers, which, for Licang District, North City District, and Southern City District combined—totaling less than two hundred square kilometers—even doubled, still can’t compare with the area of Lao Mountain.

"Although I feel the possibility of obtaining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at Shuiqing Gully East Mountain isn’t very great, I’ll still make a trip there."

The main reason Zhang Yanhang said this was because the area of Shuiqing Gully East Mountain is much smaller than the smallest of the three mountains, Jiading Mountain, and the altitude is also disappointingly reduced to below one hundred meters.

If there really were any other notable mountains left in Southern City District and North City District, Zhang Yanhang would definitely not consider visiting a place like Shuiqing Gully East Mountain.

"By the way, I wonder if Multiple Choice can help me cut my losses in time this time. If I can trigger options like those I did at Jiading Mountain after just a few scans upon reaching Shuiqing Gully East Mountain, that would be great. Then I could decide which mountain to visit next based on the content of the options."

Although he felt it was not of much use, Zhang Yanhang still began trying to hint (explicitly) at Multiple Choice to hurry up and arrange another fortuitous encounter option for him.

After hinting, Zhang Yanhang stood still and waited for a bit, and unsurprisingly, Multiple Choice did not give any response.
