After breaking up with his girlfriend after the college entrance exam, he became rich overnight by t

It was past 10 p.m., and the wind outside the World Devil City still hadn't stopped.

Inside the Apollo RV, five women finished showering and changed into their pajamas, instantly elevating the living room's prestige.

Xu An'an was wearing a pink slip dress, the two shoulder straps bearing the weight of work that didn't belong to its price range.

Su Qingyan wore a moon-white silk nightgown, with long pants clinging to her slender legs, looking cool and clean.

Liu Ruoxi wore a wine-red bathrobe, and after sitting down, the hem of her skirt naturally parted, revealing her fair, long legs crossed, exuding a mature charm that was impossible to conceal.

Shen Zhiwei was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with her silver half-rimmed glasses still on, creating a stark contrast between her serious director persona and her casual pajamas.

Lin Sa's outfit was the simplest: a loose white T-shirt paired with athletic shorts, her short hair just dried, and her tanned, long legs exuding power.

Wang Ye sat in the middle of the sofa, holding an iced cola in his hand, and looked around.

"Tonight's showcase of the highest quality human pajamas is truly top-notch."

Xu An'an hugged the cushion.

"Watch less."

"This director hereby declares that lights out will be at 10:30 tonight, and no one is allowed to raid the chairman's office at night."

Liu Ruoxi gently adjusted the belt of her nightgown.

"Little An'an, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"I am the team's risk control director."

"That's called being wary of fire, theft, and Ruoxi."

"It's good that you understand."

Lin Sa was sitting on the sofa checking tomorrow's route when she looked up and said something.

"You guys argue about this every night?"

Shen Zhiwei pushed up her glasses.

"It's not about competition; they're just continuously lowering the team's standards."

Xu An'an immediately turned her head.

"Sister Zhiwei, please don't stand on your moral high ground to comment."

"Who came into Wang Ye's room with a laptop in the middle of the night the day before yesterday?"

Shen Zhiwei's expression froze.

"I'm going to discuss work."

"Talk in your pajamas?"

"Does someone sleep in a suit in a campervan?"

"You've already started crying."

"I don't."

"You're getting impatient again."

Wang Ye almost burst out laughing while drinking his cola.

This team has now formed a complete closed loop.

Xu An'an was in charge of stirring up trouble.

Liu Ruoxi was in charge of driving.

Shen Zhiwei was responsible for being stubborn.

Su Qingyan was in charge of the suppression.

Lin Sa was in charge of watching the fun.

Wang Ye is in charge of enjoying himself.

As night deepened, the living room lights went out.

Wang Ye had only been back in the master bedroom for two minutes when a very faint click came from the door.

Su Qingyan slipped in gracefully and locked the door behind her.

"Suzhou University's campus belle, staying up all night to commit crimes against the wind?" Wang Ye raised an eyebrow and chuckled.

Su Qingyan lifted the corner of the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed, her cool eyes sparkling: "Let's check the route to Altay tomorrow."

They used the same excuses as always to brush me off.

"Lin will review the route tomorrow, so let's have an in-depth discussion on academic issues tonight."

"Wang Ye..."

Su Qingyan let out a soft cry.

As the lights dimmed, the temperature in the master bedroom rose rapidly.

Meanwhile, on the large bed in the second-floor rest area.

Lin Sa and Shen Zhiwei lay side by side.

As a top rally driver, Lin Sa is extremely sensitive to mechanical vibrations and sounds. Even though the Apollo RV's sound insulation and shock absorption are top-notch, the faint, strange noises in the extremely quiet night still completely woke her up.

Lin Sa rolled over, looked at Shen Zhiwei who was wearing an eye patch beside her, and couldn't help but lower her voice to ask, "Director Shen, this 30 million yuan RV of yours... why is the chassis suspension still under continuous pressure in the middle of the night?"

Shen Zhiwei didn't even take off her blindfold. She placed her hands flat on her abdomen and said in a calm tone, "You'll get used to it."

Lin Sa's lips twitched slightly: "Do you do this kind of high-intensity cross-country training every night?"

……

Six o'clock in the morning.

The sky over Urho was just beginning to brighten.

The Apollo RV starts up, and the eight-cylinder diesel engine emits a deep sound.

Wang Ye entered "daydreaming mode," and the RV drove out of the campsite, heading north along the Kuia Expressway.

Outside the car window, the ochre-red yardangs gradually faded away.

The gray-brown Gobi Desert stretches into the distance, with low-lying camel thorns scattered among the gravel.

Su Qingyan sat in the passenger seat, quietly checking the route.

Lin Sa sat in the navigator's seat next to him, using a tablet to check the road conditions.

The remaining four women were catching up on sleep in the living area.

Xu An'an, wrapped in a blanket, peeked out sleepily.

"Have we arrived in Altay yet?"

Wang Ye glanced at the time.

"It's only been open for forty minutes."

"Then I'll sleep for another five minutes."

"Last time you spoke for five minutes, then slept for two hours."

"This time is different."

Five seconds later, she stopped moving.

Wang Ye chuckled.

"They are definitely different."

"This time it only took five seconds."

At 9:00 AM, the RV turned onto the national highway.

The road narrows and the number of curves increases significantly.

Occasionally, herds of camels appear on both sides, and in the distance, herders can be seen driving their flocks of sheep across the pasture.

Lin Sa checked the vehicle's condition.

There are few service areas ahead.

"Enough fuel, enough water, and the car is in good condition."

Wang Ye nodded.

"Co-pilot Lin is becoming more and more proficient in his duties."

"Is there a salary?"

Meals are provided.

"Fine, I'm already numb to it."

At noon, the RV was parked in the town of Heshtologai.

The six of them found a clean restaurant, and a table was filled with Xinjiang-style mixed noodles, baked buns, and braised chicken.

After finishing her first plate of noodles, Xu An'an immediately raised her hand.

"Boss, another one, please!"

Shen Zhiwei pushed up her glasses.

"You ate three eggs and two pieces of bread this morning."

"That's breakfast."

"I ate a bag of potato chips in the car just now."

"Those are snacks."

"And now?"

"lunch."

Xu An'an answered very carefully: "My stomach operates on a multi-department independent accounting system."

Wang Ye gave a thumbs up.

Around 2 PM, Apollo entered Burqin.

The streets were clean, and the buildings along the roadside had distinct Russian elements, with roofs painted in red, blue, and green. The Irtysh River flowed past the city.

Xu An'an leaned against the car window.

"This place is so comfortable."

"Quiet, clean, even the rooftop feels alive."

Su Qingyan checked the navigation.

"Wucaitan is more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat."

"I happened to be there when the evening light was just right."

Wang Ye immediately made the decision.

"Walk."

"Our first stop today is Wucaitan (Five-Colored Beach)."

3:30 p.m.

Apollo drove into the parking lot of the Wucaitan Scenic Area.

The system notification appeared precisely on time as soon as the car door opened.

【Ding! 】

[Host detected arriving at Wucaitan, a national 4A-level tourist attraction.]

[Automatic check-in successful.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a daily check-in reward of 2000000 yuan.]

The six people bought tickets and entered the scenic area, where a wooden boardwalk winds through the colorful rocky hills.

Ochre red, bright yellow, dark purple, gray-green, and brown—various colors are distributed across the undulating strata.

The rocky surface is devoid of vegetation, with dense gullies, and the wind constantly travels between the rocky hills.

On the other side of the boardwalk, the Ertis River flows smoothly.

On the opposite bank of the river, however, stretches of poplars and shrubs, their greenery extending into the distance.

One side was barren.

One side is covered with lush vegetation.

Xu An'an stood on the observation deck and looked back and forth several times.

"Is there a problem with the map loading here?"

"The left and right sides are completely different styles."

Shen Zhiwei pushed up her glasses.

"The Ertis River has carved out different landforms."

"The rock strata on the north bank are eroded by wind and water, and the differences in color are also related to the mineral composition."

"The south bank has better water conditions, which is why the valley forest belt was formed."

Xu An'an nodded.

"Understood."

"This side of the river has a beauty filter on, while the other side has an eye protection mode on."

Shen Zhiwei remained silent for two seconds.

"Your understanding has always been very abstract."

"But you remembered it."

Lin Sa leaned against the wooden railing, her short hair blowing in the wind: "The Ertis River is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean."

Shen Zhiwei looked at her.

"You did a good job with your homework."

"If you do a lot of trail running, you have to be familiar with the maps."

Wang Ye raised his camera.

"Lieutenant Lin, stop chatting and get back to work."

Five women lined up in front of the observation deck.

Xu An'an was wearing a pink and white tracksuit, looking sweet and energetic.

Su Qingyan wore a light blue long dress, with her long hair hanging down her shoulders.

Liu Ruoxi wore a burgundy fitted long dress, showing off her mature curves.

Shen Zhiwei was dressed in a gray and white outdoor outfit, exuding a strong sense of professionalism.

Lin Sa was still wearing her functional workwear, and her posture was neat and efficient.

The colors of the Five-Colored Beach began to deepen, the originally dark red became richer, the yellow rock layers also brightened, and the purple areas showed clearer layers.

As the sun sets over the Ertis River, golden glints spread across its surface, illuminating the poplar forest on the opposite bank.

The entire observation deck instantly became lively.

Tourists raised their phones.

Wang Ye switched to a telephoto lens and quickly found the right angle.

"An'an, take half a step back."

"Sister Ruoxi, don't come any closer."

Lin Sa turned around.

"Qingyan stands in the middle."

"Consultant Shen, please take off your glasses."

Click.

The shutter clicked continuously.

Five people are captured in the image, along with colorful rocky hills, the Ertis River, and poplar forests.

Xu An'an ran over to check the finished product and then made an announcement on the spot.

"There's nothing wrong with the cards!"

"This one is absolutely divine!"

Liu Ruoxi stood behind Wang Ye and approached him gently.

"Little brother, your sister wants to be photographed alone."

"TOLL."

"I'll give you a shoulder massage tonight."

"make a deal."

Xu An'an rushed back immediately.

"Ruoxi, you're bidding against each other in private again!"

Lin Sa watched the spectacle with her arms crossed: "This team's photography services are all paid for with massages?"

Wang Ye was very serious.

"Internal monetary system."

"Stable, convenient, and unaffected by exchange rates."

Su Qingyan spoke softly.

"It is mainly influenced by the chairman's personal needs."

"Director Su's explanation was excessive, deduct one point."

"You dare to confiscate it?"

"I dare not."

Wang Ye immediately contradicted himself.

Everyone laughed.

As the sun sank completely into the distance, the sky changed from orange-red to purplish-gray, the bright colors on the rocky hills slowly faded, and the Ertis River returned to calm.

Liu Ruoxi put down her phone.

"The photo definitely can't capture the whole thing."

"The sound of the wind and the river, as well as the contrast between the left and right banks, cannot be contained within this place."

Su Qingyan stood next to Wang Ye.

That's why I had to come in person.

Wang Ye put away his camera.

"Let's go."

"Let's head to Altay before it gets completely dark."

Everyone returned to the RV.

Apollo got back onto the national highway.

As dusk fell, the grasslands and farmlands receded behind the car, while the Altai Mountains gradually came into view, their snow-capped peaks retaining their last glimmer of color.

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

Altay city appears ahead.

The streets are narrow, the streetlights are bright, the city is surrounded by mountains, and in the distance, only the dark outline of General Mountain remains.

Xu An'an leaned against the car window, her voice becoming much softer.

"It's so quiet here."
