Night, eight o'clock.

When the sweltering mountain wind at Sentinel Ridge was still howling, Chen Jing was ready to go to the bitter cold land of Antarctica.

Outside the courtyard of the Chen family's old house.

Qiao You stared at Chen Jing who was sitting on Bai Aji's back, like a parent who sent his children to a spring outing, and at the same time took the trouble to inquire with a trace of concern and seriousness.

"Food?"

"Brought it."

"Where's the water?"

"Took a few bottles...... Enough! ”

"Tissues, compasses, maps...... Got it all with you? ”

"Hmm!"

"I'll put the down jacket in a bag for you, if it's cold, I'll put it on."

"Don't worry, I'm not a child, I know hot and cold ......"

Qiao Youning pursed her lips and smiled gently, and then turned her gaze to Yegotos who was sitting next to Chen Jing.

She didn't know where Yegtos came from, but she only heard Chen Jing vaguely and perfunctorily introduce the sentence "It's my family."

After that, Qiao Youning didn't ask a word more, and deliberately made more when cooking, and even worshiped Aji.

"You take care of him more when you're outside."

Qiao Youning stood beside Bai Aji, raised her hand and touched Bai Aji's neck, which was also the special treatment that Bai Aji gave her because of dinner.

"Don't let people bully him." Qiao Youning looked at Bai Aji with wide eyes.

Baiaji snorted, nodded and didn't speak.

"Fine...... Don't treat me as a child, okay......" Chen Jing held the big bags of things in his arms with a bitter face, like a bear child listening to his parents' chatter, "You go back first!" It shouldn't take long for me to be back! ”

"Got it."

Qiao Youning took a step back and waved her hand.

"Be careful on the road! Stay safe! ”

After waving goodbye, Bai Aji accelerated to take off under Chen Jing's urging and went straight to the direction of Antarctica.

The buildings on the ground are getting smaller and smaller.

Even Qiao Youning turned into a vague little white dot.

So far.

Chen Jing retracted his gaze and began to study the world map he bought in junior high school.

"It's delicious." Jegotos spoke suddenly.

"Huh? What is it? Chen Jing glanced up at him.

"Dinner." Jegtos scratched his helmet and said tentatively, "Bai Aji also thinks it's delicious, you can make more next time......

"The two of you are also unproductive, so you have a heart-eating ......" Chen Jing complained angrily, "Who said that no one is allowed to get close to your 'King of Deep Space' at the beginning?" ”

“……”

"A little bit of food was bought...... I'm embarrassed to say you! ”

“……”

In fact, when he first took Yegotos home, Chen Jing was still a little worried that Qiao Youning would ask questions.

It turns out.

She's really not the kind of person who talks a lot.

Qiao Youning just asked, "Does your friend want to have dinner here?" ”

After that, she didn't ask a word more.

In the end, Chen Jing couldn't hold back a little and took the initiative to explain the origin of Yegtos.

Family.

It's not common in the world, but it's not uncommon either.

This time back to the watch world, it seems that a very small number of candidates have returned with their families.

"She's changed so much......"

Chen Jing flipped through the map while recalling in his mind.

Qiao Youning at the beginning was not what she is now.

Introverted, low self-esteem.

Always love to keep your head down.

I'm embarrassed to talk to myself.

But now......

Seems to have grown up?

That extremely gentle but silent attitude made Chen Jing unable to resist at all.

Although he was a little embarrassed at first, and always said not to take care of him as a child, in fact...... He enjoyed it.

In the watch world, the only person who ever took care of him was his grandmother.

In the world......

Don't say "that Chen Jing", just talk about himself.

He had only been cared for by the old man since he had traveled through the past, and the way the old man sometimes cared for him made him laugh.

Qiao Youning didn't talk much, and rarely took the initiative to ask him questions.

If Chen Jing wanted to say something, she would listen patiently from beginning to end, and occasionally Chen Jing took the initiative to ask questions, and she answered without hesitation......

"Wang ...... Give me a bag of potato chips......"

Yegotos interrupted Chen Jing's memories with a loud voice.

"Eat! Just know how to eat! I'll see what you'll do when you'll eat it all in a while! ”

"Can we go down and grab it......"

"You're not ashamed...... A gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, don't you ...... Well, you probably don't know. ”

Chen Jing threw the potato chips to Yegotos and told him not to disturb him to look at the map when he chewed, otherwise he would never be given snacks again.

"The direction is right......"

"At your speed, it shouldn't take long to get to ......"

Chen Jing looked at the rapidly changing scenery below, and suddenly felt that something was not real.

It's all like a dream.

In the morning, I went to Songjiang City in the southeast.

At noon, go back to the southwest to rest.

In the evening, he went straight to Antarctica.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that Baiaji's practical type is indeed higher than that of Yegotos.

Not only does it fly faster than an airplane, but it is even much more convenient than an airplane, and it consumes only one dinner per 10,000 kilometers......

"Antarctica...... It turned out that I had only seen it in books...... I didn't expect to have the opportunity to go there in person in this life......"

Chen Jing sat on Bai Aji's back near his neck, combing his mane boredly, and sighed while looking at the constantly changing sky.

Compared to the familiar night sky at Sentinel Ridge, the night sky here is a little blue.

The closer you are to the South Pole, the more blue the sky becomes.

There is no industrial pollution and no light pollution.

The sky here has an almost navy blue hue, and there are more stars visible to the naked eye than ever before.

Since Bai Aji's power had been sheltering Chen Jing and Yegtos, they couldn't feel the change in temperature at all at this moment.

Until I saw that magnificent and shocking paleness.

Only then did Chen Jing realize......

Antarctica, arrived.

Seen from a great distance.

The whole of Antarctica is like a strange and absurd pale beast, silently crawling at the pole of the world.

The cold and freezing that has not changed for thousands of years make the ice fields visible to the naked eye take on a miserable hue.

View from a bird's-eye view.

Those countless icebergs and hills are like spikes growing on the body of this pale beast, and they are like some kind of geometric totem engraved on the surface of the giant beast's body, which makes people wonder, as if this pale world has become a part of it......

"It's hard to imagine the wonders of nature...... The Antarctica I saw in the books was not so shocking......"

Just when Chen Jing looked at Antarctica, which was getting closer and closer, in a daze.

Suddenly.

He heard a strange voice.

It was a voice that shouldn't have been in such a bitter cold place.

"The bells are ringing...... It's the bell that Smith said!! ”

Today's gag is here!

There's another reward tomorrow!

[Try to update it at noon tomorrow, if you don't have it at noon, it must be around seven o'clock in the evening, and you can rest assured that it will not be interrupted! ] 】
