Chapter 93: A Rather Underworld Mount (391)

Average subscription has increased to 911, so the number of overdue chapters has also increased to 91. I’m working hard on updates, and I’ll ask for subscriptions in advance again!

——————————

The Morning Sunlight Guild’s guild shop was located near the market, not far from the grand plaza. A ferocious weasel in a tiny suit managed the store.

“What would you like?”

After the Undead Mage presented a priority pickup slip, the ferocious weasel looked at Gu Xi.

“Based on your current level, you can take one hundred undead from me, plus goods worth no more than 300 yuan. Don’t worry, these goods have an internal discount; 300 yuan can buy a blue-quality weapon or piece of equipment.”

“And a mount; this is on my tab,” the Undead Mage who brought Gu Xi added.

“Alright, I’ll pick a good mount for him. What about you? Have you decided what you want? The blue-quality weapons and equipment are over here.”

“I don’t need a blue weapon. I’d like to ask, if I exchange this amount of money for ten units of mercury, how much magic potion can I get? I want the kind that instantly replenishes all my mana.”

The ferocious weasel was somewhat curious about Gu Xi’s question, and sized him up.

“How much mana do you have now?”

“800 points, and I can temporarily increase it by 100 more if needed.”

“Oh, that’s pretty high mana for a level 3 Undead Mage. In that case, I personally recommend this 1000-point medium blue potion, 10 yuan per bottle. If you want ten units of mercury, you can also get ten more medium blue potions.”

Gu Xi didn’t speak, but looked back at the Undead Mage.

The Undead Mage nodded at Gu Xi, indicating that the price was acceptable.

Gu Xi decisively said, “Deal.”

Although the ferocious weasel was slightly surprised that Gu Xi didn’t want blue equipment, he wasn’t a talkative person. He didn’t persuade Gu Xi to buy a better weapon, but simply accepted the 300 yuan paid by the Undead Mage and gave Gu Xi his items.

The medium blue potions were fist-sized crystal bottles containing a blue liquid. Just holding the bottle, Gu Xi could feel his mana being stimulated. Drinking this potion would undoubtedly replenish his mana in a short time.

The mercury was in a head-sized lead canister. Gu Xi could even feel a faint wail emanating from the mercury. This was the special mercury needed by the undead.

The mercury itself was ordinary material, but adding some soul fragments gave it special effects.

After counting the mercury, Gu Xi nodded at the Undead Mage.

“Okay, just the mount then.”

The Undead Mage was very satisfied with Gu Xi’s attitude. In his opinion, knowing what one wants and making quick choices was the attitude a guild player should have. Picking and choosing in the guild store was not the behavior of a good player. Only someone like Gu Xi, who knew what they wanted, was a good brother to the guild.

The Undead Mage nodded in satisfaction. He was ready to choose a good mount for Gu Xi.

As for the one hundred Skeleton Soldiers, there was nothing to choose. The guild had rules; a level 3 player could only get level 3 Skeleton Soldiers. They had already prepared everything before coming. As long as Gu Xi chose his items, the Undead Mage could send him on his way.

Now, he just needed to select a mount with high movement speed.

“Let me see… this one! Gu Xi, my friend, come take a look. This is the mount I’ve chosen for you.”

The Undead Mage pulled Gu Xi aside. When Gu Xi saw the mount the Undead Mage had chosen, he didn’t know what to say.

He knew that Bai Lian City, being a city focused on the undead, had a relatively gloomy style. But this mount was excessively gloomy.

The Undead Mage had chosen a normal-sized red lacquered coffin. Various talismans were pasted on the surface of the coffin, and two thick layers of iron chains were wrapped around it. Even so, the coffin lid would occasionally pop up, and black mist would seep out each time.

“This is it, my friend. What do you think?”

Gu Xi originally wanted a warhorse or something similar, but looking at the Undead Mage’s expression, he went forward to take a look.

[Evil Coffin (White, Mount): Undead player and hero mount, 80 km/h movement speed, can carry one person.]

“It’s… alright.”

“Alright is good enough. Let me tell you, this is a top-tier white mount. Generally, white mounts have a movement speed of around 60 km/h, but this one reaches 80 km/h, which is quite good. Most importantly, look at this, see these talismans? These are speed talismans. Although these talismans are no longer effective, it proves that talismans can be applied to this Evil Coffin. After you return, I’ll apply for you to learn some talisman techniques. Then, stick talismans on the coffin, and its speed will increase further. No one will be able to catch you then—it’ll be so cool!”

Gu Xi could only agree with the Undead Mage.

Afterwards, the Undead Mage took Gu Xi to receive his one hundred Skeleton Soldiers and then brought him to the game world login terminal.

“Uh, wait a second, let me take care of these things first.”

Hearing Gu Xi, the Undead Mage didn’t rush to send him into the game.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Xi sent the newly acquired one hundred Skeleton Soldiers and ten units of mercury back to Alierdo City.

When sending the soldiers back, Gu Xi specially wrote a note to Luna. The note told Luna to send all one hundred Skeleton Soldiers to the Bone Cutting Camp to replenish their numbers. The ten units of mercury were for building the Dragon Bone Laboratory. After the pier market and Pier Warehouse in the pier district were completed, Luna would need to fully focus on building the Dragon Bone Laboratory.

After all, once the Dragon Bone Laboratory was completed, it would be very beneficial for Gu Xi to summon his Death Avatar.

At that time, Gu Xi would only need to summon the Death Avatar once and keep it alive. He wouldn’t have to consume all his mana every time he fought, as the skill description suggested, and then have it dissipate after the battle. If he fought that way, even with countless blue potions, he wouldn’t be able to handle the mana consumption.

The Undead Mage didn’t say anything about Gu Xi sending the Skeleton Soldiers back to the city. In his view, this was the advantage of the Death City skill. When not needed, the soldiers wouldn’t appear beside him; only during battles would they appear on the battlefield.
