**Climbing Up and Down the Mountain Are Two Missions** (山上山下两个任务, *Shānshàng Shānxià Liǎng gè Rènwù*) is the 37th episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

Xioahei and his friends climb Mt. Panilas, and they meet Dazhi and Jiulao at the top. Jiulao tries to fight them, but the group escapes unscathed. Afterwards, everyone agrees to take an assasination mission, but they're tragically teleported inside an enemy base with dozens of players...

## Plot

In a town, a group of random players are fighting. However, someone asks to stop the fight because he’s heard an alarm. It’s the sound of someone’s safety alarm. The person checks his settings, and realizes that his console is informing him that a burglar is entering his room in the real world. Watching helplessly, the player sees the burglar take a watch from his drawer. The console registers the action as a crime, and records evidence of it. Then, the player is asked if he wishes to stun the assailant with a safe and harmless electrical current. When the player says yes, the console throws a dart to the burglar, who is shocked and falls to the ground, knocked out. The player is granted god mode, and everyone allows him to log out of the game. Immediately after, the fight resumes.

Meanwhile, Xiaohei and his friends climb Mt. Panilas using A-Gen’s ice abilities and Xiaohei’s spacial abilities. They rest on ice every once in a while to allow Xioahei to gather more spiritual energy. Shanxin mentions that only eight people have completed the quest. Also, the mountain’s height is above the maximum height allowed for birds to flight. A-Gen notices that there’s no temperature decreased due to height in-game. At some point, Shanxin realizes that two more players have reached the summit, so they’ll meet them very soon.

Eventually, the group reaches the mountain and find the other players: they are Dazhi and Jiulao, but they’ve never met them before. Although Xiaohei has met Jiulao in the real world, he’s playing as a human in the game, so his identity is hidden to him. Jiulao is level 23, and Dazhi is level 37. Despite of this, Dazhi is surprised to see that Xioahei’s group has reached the top of the mountain with only level 40. The greet each other, and Jiulao quickly reads everyone’s ability class, although he’s confused when reading Shanxin’s healing-class. Jiulao doesn’t mention recognizing Xioahei.

The group gets the experience for completing the mission, after which Jiulao proposes that they have a little fight. A-Gen tells him that they’re only interested in the missions, but Jiulao doesn’t care about that: he only joined the game to find opponents. Xiaohei pretends like he wants to fight, but then uses his spatial abilities to get everyone out of there. The group beings to fall out the mountain, using Hei and A-Gen’s abilities to avoid falling rocks that Jiulao throws at them. Things get really dangerous, but everyone manages to escape alive. Once they’re at the ground level, they start to run away from the mountain. Shanxin explains that since Jiulao and Dazhi obtained experience once they reached the summit, that means they reached it at around level 10. This means they’re really good with their abilities, and fighting them would have been too dangerous. Besides, they wouldn’t have obtained too much experience if they’ve defeated them. In the mountain summit, Jiulao admits that they would have lost if they actually got in a fight. Dazhi calls Jiulao his “master”, and wonders if they’re really training.

Once they are safe, Shanxin points out that they’re now at the level 45 threshold. This means that their experience has gone beyond level 45, but they won’t be able to level up until they complete a specific task. This new mission seems easy: they have to kill an specific target. They have the option to be warped at a random location within 10km of their target. Since their game time for the day is about to end, they all agree to warp to the random location. However… this teleports them right into an enemy’s base, full of high-level players. One of the enemies notices that they used a blue warping skill, which is exclusive to the assassination mission: they are there to kill someone! Shanxin tries to argue that their objective isn’t there, but her systems tells her that their objective is within 10 meters, and everyone hears it. The enemies prepare to attack. Things are bad…
