Chapter 18: The Wasteland

After putting the pet eggs into the package, Ling Yu came to the mount shop.

The mount shop is not large, and there is only one fat merchant watching the shop. Because the game has only been started for a short time, there are no other players here, and business is naturally not thriving.

Therefore, the fat merchant who was guarding the shop was sitting there listlessly, and when he saw the business coming to the door, his face was full of smiles, and his two eyes, which were already too small, were almost completely buried by the fat on his face:

"Welcome, welcome! You're the legendary adventurer from another world, right? You're here to buy a mount, right? After speaking, he also took out a price list and presented it in front of Ling Yu.

Normal Horse: A first-order mount of mortal beasts, with a movement speed of 100, no additional abilities, and cannot be upgraded. Price: 5 credits.

War Horse: A second-order mount of mortal beasts, with a movement speed of 150, no additional abilities, and cannot be upgraded. Price: 10 credits.

Maxima: A third-order mount of mortal beasts, with a movement speed of 200, no additional abilities, and cannot be upgraded. Price: 25 credits.

Milehorse: A fourth-order mount of the Mortal Beast, with a movement speed of 250, no additional abilities, and cannot be upgraded. Price: 60 credits.

Cloud Horse: A first-order psychic mount with a movement speed of 400 and a 50% increase in mana recovery speed after riding, which can be upgraded. Requirements: Level 15, Intermediate Riding Mastery. Selling price: 5 gold. Inventory Quantity: 1

Riding Mastery Scroll: Immediately after use, gain a basic level of Riding Mastery. Price: 5 credits.

Saddle: Mounted on the horse reduces physical exertion when riding. Price: 1 credit.

Mounts can be used after level 5, but most players don't have the possibility to have their own mounts until level 10 onwards.

There is no other reason, that is, there is no money.

Even the cheapest horse in the game costs five credits, and with the addition of the Riding Mastery scroll, it makes a total of ten credits, which is an astronomical amount for an early player.

However, for Ling Yu, who had just received a large sum of money from the boss, these were not a problem.

With so much money that he could barely spend it, he immediately bought a horse of 10,000 miles, and naturally he also bought the scroll and saddle of riding mastery at the same time.

"Do you know where to hatch eggs?" After shopping for something, Ling Yu asked the other party about the method of hatching dragon eggs by the way.

"The easiest way is to go to the pet store in the main city of Altos and pay a few to hatch for you. Or you can also go in search of natural druids, who are also heard to hatch pet eggs. The shopkeeper, who had just finished a big business, replied very cheerfully.

"I see, thanks."

Naturally, the druids didn't know where they were, but they did know how to get to the main city. All you need to do is level 10 and take the teleportation array to go straight to it.

After using the Riding Mastery Scroll, Ling Yu successfully mastered the basic level of Riding Mastery, and was able to ride the mount normally.

Basic Riding Mastery: Can control all Mortal Beast-level mounts, and increases movement speed by 10% while riding mounts.

After that, Ling Yu walked around the city to see if his high reputation could bring him a few hidden tasks.

Not to mention, he really received a lot of tasks that he couldn't have received before.

However, the task is not as much as possible, it also depends on the cost performance, like some tasks that do not involve combat, but the steps are complicated, and the reward is only a dozen copper coins, Ling Yu refused directly without looking at it.

After some selection, Ling Yu chose the two tasks of perfecting the Warcraft Illustrated Book and investigating the barren land, which would not affect his leveling.

The perfection of the Warcraft Illustrated Book is to let yourself find the Warcraft that is not in the Warcraft Illustrated Guide, and then investigate and record it. The method of recording is also very simple, that is, to kill the other party directly.

The low-level Warcraft Atlas in the city area is already very perfect, and there is no need for players to collect and record, what needs to be recorded are some high-level Warcraft, that is, those that are level ten to fifteen.

There was no time limit for completing this task, and the reward was not bad, so Ling Yu chose to take it.

The Investigate the Wastelands quest is related to the undead and is a red emergency quest.

The undead are the natural enemies of all living beings on the floating islands, and legend has it that the catastrophe that swept through them 1,200 years ago was brought about by a king of the dead.

Therefore, regardless of race or country, there is a striking unanimity in the treatment of the undead - complete extermination. This is also the reason why such an urgent mission appears as soon as the undead are found in the Badlands.

Generally speaking, urgent tasks have rewards that are much higher than ordinary tasks, and this task is naturally no exception, not to mention the massive experience and monetary rewards, the Medal of Honor alone is boastful, so Ling Yu chose to accept it without hesitation.

Outside the city, Ling Yu summoned his mount and put on his saddle, and then set off for the barren land.

Seeing Ling Yu's posture riding a horse, the players around him were envious and jealous.

Although horses can be obtained by rental, the cost of riding mastery for the five silver coins of basic riding cannot be saved. If it's not the game currency collected through the yuan, it's a burst of luck and encounters some hidden mission to earn so much money.

Ignoring the thoughts of the player behind him, Ling Yu quickly headed towards the barren land.

After arriving in the barren land, Ling Yu put the horse into the mount space and walked on foot.

Basic riding only gives him the right to use his mount, but not on it. So after arriving at the destination, you can only get off the horse and walk.

As soon as he stepped into this barren land filled with fishy smell, a cold and eerie cold wind hit him, with a disgusting rancid smell, and the miasma that permeated everywhere could make people dizzy, and the corpses that could be decomposed everywhere were almost suffocating. If it's an average player, they don't even need a monster to do it, and this environment alone is enough to discourage them.

However, Ling Yu is not an ordinary casual player, but a lone wanderer who targets professional players, so this environment is not enough to scare him away.

Although the goal of the quest is to find out why the undead appear here, it is not necessary to find out the cause to obtain a reward, and killing the undead itself can also obtain a corresponding reward. No matter what, he won't lose.

Therefore, instead of choosing to go deep into the barren land, Ling Yu wandered around, following the footsteps of the lone undead, turning these terrifying monsters into his own experience.

There were only seventh-level skeleton warriors on the periphery of the barren land, and with Ling Yu's strength at this moment, it was really not difficult to destroy them.

After eliminating the twenty-fourth Skeleton Warrior, Ling Yu's level was also raised to level 8. After adding all the points of the upgrade to agility, Ling Yu had the idea of going deep into the barren land.

As soon as he thought of it, after checking his state and equipment, Ling Yu began to go deep into the barren land.
