Chapter 789 Ten-Day Plan
"I just said it casually, and it will completely disrupt your life. Just listen to it."

"."Fan Ning still stared at Ruoyi in a daze.

One minute of staring.

People are so wonderful sometimes.

It only took a minute to make a decision that could change your life.

When Fan Ning and Ruoyi went back to the listening room in the bedroom on the second floor and sat down on the sofa, Fan Ning only wasted an extra 10 seconds to open DingTalk and send a message to his leader.

"I quit and won't come again."

The software was uninstalled the next moment.

He and Ruoyi sat on the sofa, with their fingers crossed and their chins resting on them, thinking intently for a long time.

It sounds like climbing a mountain to see the stars is not a difficult thing.

But what if you climb the Himalayas?

What if they are two young men and women who have no foundation or experience, and even have very average physical fitness?
What if the time limit is still within ten days?
And the countdown has already started since yesterday? ?
But, the decision has been made.

Go and take a look at where your parents left. Maybe there is something unusual, or maybe you are just overthinking it. Or maybe mountain climbing is just mountain climbing.

The time on the wall clock was approaching four in the morning, but Fanning's eyes were filled with increasingly brighter light and heat.

His brows were also furrowed, but his mental state had changed into something completely different, and he believed that the girl next to him was the same.

Maybe I am chasing tragedy, but so what? Isn't human life itself a tragedy, just like some irrational, blind, and irresistible impulse of life will?

The Alps that Nietzsche climbed that year had an average altitude of only 3000 meters, and the main peak located on the French-Italian border is only 4810 meters.

Not to mention the well-known Mount Everest in the Himalayas, there are 8000 peaks above 14 meters and more than 7000 peaks above 50 meters. Even the destination of this plan, the highest peak in Himachal Pradesh, "Leo Pargial", where Fan Chenxun accepted the commission, has an altitude of 6816 meters!

When Fanning searched for "mountain climbing tips" on the Internet, he found that they all recommended preparing "at least 4-6 months in advance."

But once he was determined to see the "starry sky above his head" with his own eyes, there was no turning back and there was no possibility of quitting easily. Fanning suddenly suspected that the "missing" he was looking for was there, and in the foreseeable future, the truth he had been pursuing would be embedded in his self-cognition like a stamp - this spiritual state of being completely immersed in it and unable to extricate himself was also inexplicably familiar.

For the first time, as a modern man, he had a transcendental empathy with the composers whose works he had listened to many times. He fully understood under what circumstances a person would survive with the determination to "write a certain work", even if it was only a humble and short-lived survival.

Survival is by no means to prolong life for no reason, but to ensure that you reach the ideal place and that at that time you can at least witness everything that happens.

Fanning repeatedly imagined that picture, a graceful, sad and beautiful picture, but as he thought about it, he became alert. No, the situation was very urgent and uncertain. If it was just a fantasy, if the two of them could not make accurate use of every minute left, then the plan would most likely come to nothing! !

"The first problem is visa and transportation." Fanning turned his head.

"I'm searching." Ruoyi had already raised the screen of her mobile phone towards him. "Look, this high-speed train number, and then this flight."

The high-speed train ride to Yanjing, the capital of China, takes 3 hours.

Then fly directly to New Delhi, India in South Asia, which takes 6 and a half hours.

But after landing, transportation became a bit troublesome.

Take a train from New Delhi to Chandigarh, then take a local mountain jeep to Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, and then to the "Snow City" Dharamsala. This journey will probably take a whole day.

"No, it's too late." Fan Ning leaned over to her and looked at the phone screen. "Transportation is not seamless. There are walking, shuttles and small transportation in between the big transportation. We still need to further refine the purchase of supplies locally, and do altitude acclimatization training. If you calculate it this way, I'm afraid the actual climbing time will not even be half." "Then charter a helicopter."

Ruoyi thought for a while before speaking.

"It takes two to three hours to fly from New Delhi to Dharamsala. I remember that Air India has such a service, which is semi-open to the public. It requires some connections. I should be able to get it done. I'll contact you after daybreak."

"Sure." Fanning snapped his fingers, then hesitated as if thinking of something, "By the way, the money in my hand now..."

"There is a total of 10 US dollars in the cards I took out. How about you?" Ruoyi asked.

"Well, I have a total of 10 RMB in my card."

"Then our 'investment shares' are roughly evenly matched."

"what?"

Fan Ning was stunned. 10 US dollars VS 10 RMB, how can they be “equally matched”?

"Stupid, I'm going to spend 5 dollars on your 'swing' series, isn't that almost enough?"

"Okay, that makes sense. Anyway, our budget is over 11 US dollars, or around 80 RMB, which should be enough."

Fan Ning took a quick look at some online guides and found that all the expenses mentioned added up to probably between 30 and 50 RMB.

"There is no need to save money. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of the process and the absolute hope of reaching the summit. However, try to save some money, whether it is $10,000 or $20,000, or $30,000 or $40,000," said Ruoyi.

"What are you going to do with all that extra money?" Fanning asked.

"Don't you keep it for use?"

"I?."

"Or at least you can put some of it into your return budget to strengthen your insurance."

"." Fan Ning didn't respond for a long time.

Ruoyi continued to check her phone for information, stealing glances at his face several times, and finally asked somewhat consciously but unconfidently:
"You're angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Fanning returned to the tone of discussing business, "This transportation arrangement should be the most efficient. And then... the visa issue."

This issue is also very critical and is at the forefront.

If you have completed all the preparations in China but the visa has not been issued yet, you will just have to wait, which is simply fatal given the total time limit of ten days.

"The ie-Visa for India in South Asia can be approved with proof of sufficient financial resources. Austrian and Chinese tourists are both high-quality groups and theoretically can be approved within 48 hours," said Ruoyi.

"48 hours is fast, but it's still not enough." Fan Ning shook his head. "In my opinion, it would be best if we could finish all the domestic affairs tomorrow morning, and take the high-speed train to Yanjing the day after tomorrow to catch the o'clock flight. In this way, we can reach New Delhi before dark. If we can also sort out the issue of helicopter charter, we can stay directly in Dharamsala that night."

"Make a fake invitation." Ruoyi thought about it again and continued to come up with a "wild idea". "Make up a fictitious 'international art cooperation project' or something like that. There is a loophole in the policy. Maybe it will be approved within 24 hours. Let's try it tomorrow."

Given the influence of the Hasterthazy family in the international art field, it would not be difficult to get a "radish stamp" and bribe some "makeshift" South Asian Indian authorities.

The first two things were quickly decided along with the "Ten-Day Plan".

"I want to sleep." After booking the high-speed rail and air tickets, Ruoyi finally yawned.
