Chapter 1131 - 150: President Valery

As Chen Wen was speaking, the helicopter also began to slowly descend.

Hua Yun glanced out of the cabin and found they had already returned to the original assembly point.

"We’ve arrived."

Hua Yun spoke, cutting everyone off.

Chen Wen hurriedly looked outside as well. Around the open area he could see some people gathered there, including his two assistants and the organizers of this event, the people from the Russian Association.

"Why isn’t Oleg here?"

Chen Wen muttered, but Fred beside him keenly spotted a bald head in the crowd.

He said in surprise, "Vice President Oleg isn’t here, but President Valery is!"

President Valery!

Everyone turned to look at the man Fred mentioned, all somewhat surprised.

This President Valery was also a legendary adventurer, and a very powerful fighter. He had once fought a lion, hunted buffalo by charging into a herd with just a small knife, and even attempted to kill a Nile Crocodile—he was a real madman.

That Beast Extreme Challenge of his could be described as truly spectacular.

Chen Wen also had great respect for this legendary adventurer. He signaled his teammates with his eyes to stand up and start disembarking.

Seeing Chen Wen and the others, Valery immediately took a few steps forward, his gaze sharp as he looked at them.

After sizing everyone up, Valery’s gaze inevitably settled on Chen Wen: "Chen Wen, I’ve been hearing your name for a long time. This is the first time I’ve met you in person—you look pretty good."

Hearing this, Chen Wen smiled and nodded. "President Valery, I’ve long admired your name."

Valery didn’t say much more and instead said, "Vice President Oleg couldn’t come to handle the follow-up work for the Forest Extreme Challenge due to some matters, so I’ll be taking over for a short while."

"Next, our arrangement is to first do the medical examination. After the examination, we’ll issue the Forest Extreme Challenge badges. Also, the rewards from this challenge will be distributed here on our side, so everyone will have to stay at the association for a few more days."

As he spoke, Valery raised his hand, signaling some association staff beside him to come forward: "The association has assigned some staff to everyone here. They’ll provide you with information and consultation, and if you have any daily-life needs you can tell them as well. They’ll try their best to meet your needs."

Chen Wen looked at a staff member who had walked over to his side and gave him a friendly smile.

The other party also nodded at Chen Wen and silently stood by.

After arranging the work, Valery said, "Also, contestant Chen Wen, your situation is a bit special, and we have some arrangements for you."

Chen Wen froze. "What about me?"

Valery pointed at the animals being unloaded from the helicopter. "These animals of yours also have to undergo a round of strict inspections. In addition, since you plan to take the lynx and the Wolf Mink with you, all the necessary procedures still have to be done. But you don’t need to worry about that—someone has already arranged it for you."

Hearing this, Chen Wen was taken aback.

But soon, he thought of Mira from before, and that butler-like person wearing sunglasses.

"Looks like you’ve remembered."

Noticing the change in Chen Wen’s expression, Valery went on, "Also, they’ve booked a better hospital for your medical examination. The staff member beside you will help coordinate that."

These words made the others look at Chen Wen a bit enviously.

Chen Wen smiled somewhat awkwardly and didn’t say much.

Valery didn’t interact too much more with Chen Wen either. After explaining these matters, he hurried off, clearly having other things to take care of.

After Chen Wen and the others handed over their supplies and such to the assistants and staff, they made plans to go find a place to bathe and change clothes.

Of course, it was Chen Wen and Adam and the other guys.

As a local, Fred knew the area around Lake Baikal quite well.

He told everyone that the hot springs around Lake Baikal were very famous. Everyone immediately agreed: they decided to get some exciting drinks, some snacks to go with them, and then find a hot spring where they could soak while eating, drinking, and chatting.

This suggestion was approved by everyone.

After consulting the staff, they quickly chose a hot spring spot and rushed over at full speed.

...

On the Hua Association’s side.

Liu Yu also received Chen Wen’s good-news phone call at the first opportunity.

Hearing that the two of them had perfectly completed the Forest Extreme Challenge, Liu Yu was quite pleased, although he’d already anticipated this result even before the challenge began.

"Alright, then just relax and get some rest. When you come back in a few days, there’ll be rewards waiting here at home as well."

Liu Yu said, "There are plenty of scenic spots over in Russia. After you and Hua Yun get some rest, you don’t have to rush back. It’s fine to hang around and have some fun there."

Listening to Liu Yu, Chen Wen couldn’t help interrupting: "Ahem, Mr. Liu, I’m contacting you mainly to ask about the upcoming survival challenges, and to see if I can get some association materials..."

On the other end of the line, Liu Yu went silent.

Just when the silence was starting to feel suffocating to Chen Wen, Liu Yu couldn’t help saying, "Chen Wen, I understand. Young people are ambitious and want to make full use of their time to do something, but we need to balance work and rest, understand?"

"Understood, understood."

Helpless, Chen Wen could only compromise: "I’m not planning to participate in the Eight Extremes Challenge again in the next two or three months, but please still send me the materials. I’ll look them over when I have free time."

"Alright."

Seeing that Chen Wen had taken a step back, Liu Yu didn’t say more. "I’ll have people send you the challenges that will start in about three months. You can go through them with Hua Yun when the time comes. But I don’t think that girl Hua Yun will be competing at high intensity. After this challenge, she should be able to firmly establish herself at the association."

Hearing this, Chen Wen nodded slightly.

The necessary condition to become a vice president in the association was to participate in the Eight Extremes Challenge and pass two of them.

Previously, Hua Yun’s vice president title had always come with the word "acting" in front. After this Forest Extreme Challenge, she could finally remove that "acting."

In the near future, Hua Yun would definitely be busy with this matter.

Chen Wen also felt a bit emotional—how did it end up that, while they were out here surviving, Hua Yun had become his superior?

At this time, Liu Yu asked again, "Do you have any thoughts about it? There are still vacancies for vice presidents at the association, and it would be perfect if you joined now."

Hearing this, Chen Wen hastily refused, "Forget it, forget it, I’ll pass. I’m alright at surviving, but I definitely can’t handle the work of a vice president."

Hearing that, Liu Yu didn’t force him and only said, "Alright, but you should still think about it. When you can’t keep doing survival in the future, the association will still reserve a position for you."

Chen Wen responded with a hum, but he didn’t really take it in.

Liu Yu didn’t say more, only reminding Chen Wen to rest well and not pay too much attention to the Eight Extremes Challenge.

To be honest, if Chen Wen’s previous psychological and mental-state tests hadn’t come back completely normal, Liu Yu would have considered going to Russia to see how Chen Wen was doing in person.
