Chapter 454 (2/2)
The two ladies went offline first, but I had to make a trip to the auction first. I put up the Fireblade Set for sale, setting the starting price at 20000 gold. I also put up the Outstanding Dark Gold spear for sale. Once I finished my business with the auction, I went to check on Air Force One's shop.
Mn, focusing on selling Magic Consumables is good business. I earn at least 10000 gold coins from it everyday. I've already reached the level of a gold collar!
As I was walking toward the inn to log off, I suddenly heard a beeping sound. I had received a message from Lin Yixin:
”Hey, hey, stop running. Wait for meeee...”
Holy s.h.i.+t!
I turned around and discovered that Lin Yixin wasn't too far away from me. She was wearing a new set of armor and viridian light was pulsing above her shoulder. This set of armor looked very good and it seemed like her war boots were new as well.
Only a day had pa.s.sed since I last saw her, but she had practically swapped out all of her equipment.
I stared at her a bit too intensely, and she started to blush.
”Your armor isn't bad! It's glowing with both an orange and a prismatic light, so it's an Outstanding Spirit-grade item, right? Your boots look pretty good too. Purple and prismatic light huh, so it's an Outstanding Purple Gold–grade item!”
”Ah?” Lin Yixin's mouth dropped open. She swiftly closed it and smiled. ”You can actually tell just from that. Not bad. Being able to tell an item's grade just from its glow, your eyes really are sharp…”
I laughed. ”Ridiculous, I'm as experienced as they come. What sort of bosses haven't I fought before? What sort of items haven't I seen before? Speaking of which, Yiyi, what boss did you beat?”
Lin Yixin giggled as she replied, ”Qingqing and I spent six hours whittling away at this Level 145 Spirit Rank boss. But we were unlucky, because Qingqing didn't manage to get a Famous General Skill.”
”So you ended up reaping all the benefits?”
”Heehee, kinda!”
Lin Yixin walked toward me with a devious smile on her face. ”Besides dropping a few pieces of equipment, the boss dropped a Mount Sealing Stone as well. Why don't you take a guess at what sort of mount I got?”
I asked, ”A chinese field dog?”
”Screw you, why would it be…”
Lin Yixin hopped back two steps, a winsome smile on her face. She said, ”Take a good look, because my pet is about to rock your world…”
Whoos.h.!.+
The Frozen Sword danced in the air as a magic formation rose up from the ground. A piercing whinny filled the air as Lin Yixin's warhorse leapt out of the aether. My jaw dropped to the ground the instant I saw her mount.
A gallant-looking warhorse wreathed in frost appeared in front of me. It didn't look any different from any standard warhorse, but it was covered with ice barding and snowflakes coalesced into existence around it. A blade made of ice and metal jutted from its head and when it sneezed, puffs of frost flew out from its nose. What a powerful-looking ice-element warhorse!
”What's it called, Yiyi?” I asked.
”It's called the Frostscythe Warhorse. Doesn't it sound cool?” Lin Yixin said with a saccharine sweet smile.
”Mhmm, what about its stats!?”
”Please wait a moment!”
In the next instant, the Frostscythe Warhorse's stats appeared on my screen, and they nearly caused my eyes to pop out of their sockets.
Frostscythe Warhorse (Purple Gold Rank Mount)
Strength: +270
Stamina: +240
Attack Increase: +17%
Defense Increase: +14%
Attack Speed: +40%
Movement Speed: +90%
Attack Range: +28 yards
Max HP: 6000
Turn Rate: -65%

Level Requirement: 110
Reputation Requirement: 50000
……
f.u.c.k, what kind of stats were these!? It was a Purple Gold Rank Mount, just like He Yi's Snow Domain Windchaser, but the Frostscythe Warhorse had a level requirement of 110 as opposed to He Yi's mount, which had a Level Requirement of 100. Its stats were all one tier higher than the Snow Domain Windchaser but their traits were largely the same.
I was left at a loss for words as I patted the Frostscythe Warhorse on the b.u.t.t. But I quickly recovered and said to Lin Yixin, ”You increased your HP by another 6000 points? If you mount up and turn on Bombsh.e.l.l, what will your HP be like?”
Lin Yixin took a quick look at her own stats before replying, ”Right now, I have 11720 HP. If I'm mounted on the Frostscythe Warhorse, I'll be 17720 HP. I have 114 Tactics at the moment, so Bombsh.e.l.l increases my stats by 53.5%. After I add that altogether, my HP should be slightly over 27000?”
”...” I fell silent.
”What's wrong, Lu Chen?” Lin Yixin smiled sweetly as she tilted her head my way.
I said in a rather helpless voice, ”Your insane stats are stressing me out! Which guy will be able to tolerate being so much weaker than his girlfriend…”
”I'm not that much stronger… It's just because of my mount…” Lin Yixin said as her beautiful face went red. It was only then that she realized what I'd just said. She glared at me and said, ”OMG, who's your girlfriend again!? The only one who will do the deed first and decide later is you…”
I laughed, ”What do you mean by act first and decide later? I haven't even done the deed yet…”
”Oh so you want to do it?” Lin Yixin's lips curled up mischievously.
I felt my heart twisting up the moment I saw that smile. I knew that she couldn't mean anything good, so I desperately shook my head as I replied, ”Oh no no no. I was just talking nonsense. Anyway, it's really late. I'll see you later Yiyi! You should go to bed soon as well!”
”Hmmm. I'll need to accompany my mom for most of the day tomorrow, so I can only start grinding again when I come back in the evening. I'm going to get left behind again.” As she said that, she raised her head to look at me. ”Lu Chen, what are you going to be busy with over the next two days?”
”Territory construction and leveling up. I need to reach Level 150 as quickly as possible, so that I can finally get my own mount…”
”Okay, good luck! If you find a good place to grind, bring me along as well! We haven't leveled together in a long time.”
”Got it! Hurry up and go to sleep!”
”Okaaay!”
Lin Yixin obediently nodded her head as she turned around and headed into the inn.
……
My lips curled up as I gave a quiet laugh. There were times that Lin Yixin was simply too cute. However, I did need to hurry up and level. If not, I'd be a sitting duck the next time I fought a mounted opponent without a mount of my own.
