Chapter 169 - Earth Drake (1/2)

Although Jiang Fei had walked away all the poorer from this expedition, he was nevertheless the first to reach Level 30 and had received 500 gold coins as a reward from the system. He now had barely over 1,000 gold coins with him. He had spent without much consideration, especially when it came to buying information from Smart Tomato. He had barely even attempted negotiating the fee. Naturally, money would run out fast, especially when one is as active in purchasing as Jiang Fei was. He was still worth a lot of money, with all the treasures on his person. But most players could not even afford to buy any single one of them.

Regardless of that, Jiang Fei still decided to buy the Odd Beast. After all, he was always going off on long-distance missions. Without a fast mount, he would have to spend hours walking again!

In the end, Jiang Fei chose the Earth Drake which better-suited him. After all, the other Odd Beasts looked comparatively weaker and thinner. With Jiang Fei's heavy armor and massive shield that took up half a bed, he would appear most unsightly on a skinny, scrawny thing. People would accuse him of animal abuse!

After paying a thousand gold coins, Jiang Fei obtained his own mount!

He summoned it excitedly.

"Roar!"

Following a low growl, a fierce-looking, huge beast appeared right next to Jiang Fei.

This massive beast looked like a larger version of the prehistoric crocodile -- a Sarcosuchus. It was four meters in length and one-and-a-half meter in height, even as it lay on its belly. The scales on its body were shiny, like metal! Speaking of metal, its head, tail, and limbs were covered by a golden armor. Not far ahead of the saddle, the beast's bloodied big mouth and sharp, glowing fangs made it look oddly cool despite its ferocious appearance. It was hard to believe this was a Roaming Mount and not a Battle Mount!

With a flip of his body, Jiang Fei got on the beast and started enjoying the increased speed, roaming through the streets of Dawnlight City.

"What the heck! What is the thing?"

"F*cking hell! Is that a mount? That's way too cool! Time to level up sooner!"

"Stop dreaming. Even if you reach Level 30, you'll never afford that thing…"

"You goddamned buzzkill! Can't a man dream?"

…

As Jiang Wei made his way through, heads turned. As the first player to own a mount in Dawnlight City, Jiang Fei had already attracted enough attention. On top of that, he had picked a colossal, over-the-top beast.

Jiang Fei took a few more turns in Dawnlight City before he received a message from Zhao Feng. "Brother Fei, are you free?"

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Fei was most definitely free and unoccupied at that moment. He replied without skipping a beat.

"Help me out with a quest."

"Where are you?" Jiang Fei asked.

"West of the City!"

Zhao Feng sent Jiang Fei his location.

"I'll be there right away!"

Jiang Fei tugged at the reins of the Earth Drake which then started galloping at full speed towards the location Zhao Feng had provided.

Jiang Fei's Movement Speed had been doubled. Travelling had suddenly seemed a lot more pleasant. Turning one's head to gaze at the grass and trees on both sides of the road slipping past him and the wind rushing over his face was most pleasurable!

"Hahaha, this is f*cking amazing! No wonder people are all crazy over mounts. Too much fun!"

Jiang Fei had never experienced horse-riding in real life. However, being able to experience it in the game made up for that, somewhat!

Not long after, Jiang Fei arrived at the rendezvous. He was surprised to see that Zhao Feng was not alone. He had formed a team with two other players.

"What the heck! Brother Fei, the heck is that thing between your legs?"

All the way from the distance, Zhao Feng was already making a big hoo-hah, with large, animated movements.

"Holy cr*p! You really know Verdure Glider?" One of Zhao Feng's teammate cried. Clearly, the two of them had not believed that the little fatty Zhao Feng could be acquainted with the Level Ranking Board's number one player!
