Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

It is said to be work
Actually, it was mainly the guys Xiaohua brought who did the work, while the three of them just sat on the ground, smoking and chatting without any regard for etiquette.

These people are all professionals, experts in mountaineering and rock climbing.

Several people unloaded all the goods, and then they methodically tied the ropes to the climbing harnesses.

It's a very useful little piece of equipment that can be driven into the cracks in the rock strata and instantly jammed in place.

For this event, Xiaohua prepared a full set of professional rock climbing equipment.

Safety belts, descenders, safety locks, slings, safety helmets, climbing shoes, magnesium powder and powder bags—everything you could possibly need was available.

These items are all from a well-known Swiss brand, and their quality is trustworthy.

After all, the cliffs here are towering and bottomless; if something were to happen to the climbing equipment, it could really be fatal.

With a near 90-degree cliff face and almost no buffer along the way, it's easy to imagine that if a person fell from a height of hundreds or thousands of feet, they wouldn't even need to be chopped up; they could be transported directly into the kitchen to be made into dumplings.

When it comes to one's own life safety, no amount of caution is too much.

Upon learning the price of the equipment, Wu Xie was heartbroken and his teeth chattered.

You should know that Wu Xie's own little shop, to put it nicely, is the leisurely life of a college student boss.

To put it bluntly, Wu Xie's shop loses money for most of the year, with its overall finances running a deficit; it's basically a money-losing business.

Even his young apprentice Wang Meng's salary was deducted from Wu Sansheng's account every month!
If that shop hadn't been one of Wu Sansheng's branches in Hangzhou, it would have bankrupted Wu Xie long ago!
This is why Wu Xie managed to accumulate a small fortune during his time underground over the past year or two; otherwise, he would still be in a financial deficit!
Do you think Wu Xie doesn't want to replace his beat-up Jinbei van?
That's because he's poor!!!
But in Hu Ming and Xiao Hua's eyes, this amount of money was truly insignificant.

After a long while, the preparations were complete.

Hu Ming stubbed out his cigarette, took off his jacket, leaving only a black t-shirt, and started free climbing, dragging a rope around his waist.

Hu Ming is the type who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular build when undressed.

From the outside, he appears to be tall and slender, but once he takes off his coat, his well-defined muscles are clearly visible, and his body fat percentage is at a golden ratio.

Hu Ming's excellent physical qualities, along with his special rock climbing training, have given him movements even more agile than the most nimble monkeys in the mountains.

Many of these actions are things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to think about, let alone do.

Hanging on a protruding cliff rock with one hand, the muscles in the waist rhythmically coordinate the muscles of the whole body to exert the most appropriate force with the smallest range of motion.

In the blink of an eye, he had already transported himself to a crooked tree far above and below.

He caught a tree branch with the instep and swung backwards using the momentum.

If he couldn't reach the spot, Hu Ming would quickly flip over, hooking himself upside down with the backs of his feet, and then instantly use his waist muscles to flip himself up. The whole movement was clean and crisp, without any unnecessary movements, and it looked extremely pleasing to the eye, possessing a special and indescribable beauty.

Therefore, we can draw a key point from this.
For men, strength in the lower back is extremely important!
What's most amazing is Hu Ming's speed. With this series of high-difficulty moves, Hu Ming showed the audience what it meant to be a martial arts master who could leap across rooftops and scale walls!
Except for some extremely difficult sections, Hu Ming's climbing speed was extremely fast. In such a challenging environment, Hu Ming's ascent and climb speed was even three points faster than the average person's jogging speed.

Before long, to everyone's amazement, Hu Ming's figure was almost out of sight.

"Uncle Ming's physical abilities are truly terrifying! Is this level of coordination even possible for a human?"

Seeing Hu Ming's exaggerated performance for the first time, Xiao Hua's eyes flashed with deep amazement.

He believes he underwent the most rigorous training from a young age, and that his talent is top-notch.

Not only in opera, but also in martial arts, he inherited Er Yuehong's true skills and has always been proud of his agility and sharpness.

It should be noted that the Hong family's most prized skill is their ability to move nimbly through the cemetery using only a bamboo pole, without their feet touching the ground, just like a master of light-body kung fu.

However, seeing Hu Ming's actions now, Xiao Hua even doubts whether Er Yuehong, in his prime, could match Hu Ming's performance.
"You'll get used to it after seeing it more often. Uncle Ming is really quite inhuman."

Wu Xie, however, was unfazed by such incidents. He shrugged and obediently put on the full set of safety equipment.

He knew he couldn't compare to Hu Ming; after all, Hu Ming was good with his brain, while his physical strength was just average.

fortunately
Wu Xie glanced at the thin Xiao Hua without making it obvious, feeling slightly more at ease.

People like Hu Ming are a tiny minority. And Xiao Hua is so thin and frail; I heard she's mainly an opera singer?
I suppose their physical strength is about the same as mine!

But
Before Wu Xie could gloat for long, he suddenly realized that although Xiao Hua couldn't compare to Hu Ming, she was far superior to the others!
"Damn it!"

Seeing Xiao Hua's nimble figure rising, Wu Xie's face immediately turned green.

In this situation, there are three people, and the other two are both top-tier players, while he's just a low-tier player?
For a moment, Wu Xie felt somewhat melancholy as he struggled to climb, clutching the safety rope.

We agreed to all be crows together!
Weren't we supposed to be childhood sweethearts, taking care of each other?
"Um, Third Master, it's getting late. If you don't hurry, it'll be dark by the time we get up there..."

Xiao Hua's assistant, seeing Wu Xie frozen in mid-air, kindly offered a reminder.

"Okay, I'll speed things up right away. What's the rush? Grandma Huo and the others might not have even arrived at their destination yet!"

Wu Xie's face turned from green to black, and he said irritably.

He's the young master of the Wu family, a refined scholar! Can't you be a little more understanding? Why are you rushing me like that? Honestly!
