Trekking and cultivation in the mountains is a tradition for college freshmen.
In the past, the planet was infested with Insect Race and Alien Beasts, and the living conditions were harsh. Most humans had to live underground.
Going to college signifies adulthood. Trekking and cultivation are a test for these young adults.
If they cannot handle basic dangers, they do not qualify for college.
With the continuous advancement of human technology, the utilization of Source Power has reached a very high level. Most Alien Races threatening humanity have been dealt with.
To this date, there's hardly any dangerous large Alien Beasts seen on the surface of the Pegasus Star.
As for the Insect Race, they have almost been eradicated.
Humans have become the rulers of the planet, yet they still prefer living in clustered communities.
Everyone loves living in the super metropolitan areas; few are willing to reside in the wilderness.
Even the wealthy are unwilling to take such risks.
