Chapter 238: Future Mount Business

Riding a deep‑red wild horse, Su Sheng paced around this area repeatedly.

At last he spotted three Roving Horse Bandits on horseback.

Su Sheng did not hesitate!

Charge!

Su Sheng urged his mount forward, and the moment he closed the distance—

Shield Rush activated!

Bang!

Hit!

"Looking for death!"

All three bandits drew hate simultaneously, which Su Sheng had prepared for.

But Su Sheng stayed mounted; as a cavalryman he fought in Mounted Combat, though his control of various techniques was not as good while mounted.

As for techniques like Shadow‑Step, Su Sheng could hardly use them in the Mounted State.

It was just brute‑force attribute crush—one‑against‑three with a lion‑like shield, plus a 50% attribute speed boost and a 30% health boost in the Mounted State.

He easily killed the three Roving Horse Bandits.

Glancing at the longsword in his hand, Su Sheng awkwardly flicked his wrist; fighting in Mounted Combat with a one‑handed sword was indeed uncomfortable—he had to stretch his arm to hit, and aiming precisely was difficult.

In Mounted Combat, landing a strike on a weak point with his longsword became noticeably harder.

Well, at least he was getting used to Mounted Combat.

After glancing at the loot on the ground, Su Sheng reluctantly dismounted; it was unkind that picking up items required getting off the mount.

He immediately stopped complaining.

Item: Rein rope

Tamed: Nag

Description: Using it grants the mount Nag.

Mount: Nag

Level requirement: 20

Health: 5000

Mount!

These Roving Horse Bandits can actually drop mounts…

Although these mounts are the lowest‑growth 1‑star wild horses—the nag that the bandits ride.

But Su Sheng, having roamed Zhuque City for so long, already knows mounts aren't easy to obtain; the last time he encountered a 2‑star wild horse was pure luck.

And capturing them isn't easy either.

So the value of these mounts...

Seems like they could fetch a good profit.

When players reach the mainstream level of 40, many will likely still lack mounts.

Hehe…

Thinking that, Su Sheng felt instantly energized.

Even without a quest, he'll have to trouble those Roving Horse Bandits himself.

Unfortunately, game time is limited; Su Sheng only managed to find another wave of bandits before time ran out, and no mount rein rope dropped.

At the breakfast table, Su Sheng asked his dad about his leveling progress.

He estimates it will take another two or three days to reach level 40; Su Sheng can only wait helplessly, but given the situation, killing a thousand bandits in three days would be decent.

Roving Horse Bandits are hard to find, but now that he knows they drop mount items, Su Sheng doesn't mind the trouble.

He also mentioned the mount drops from Roving Horse Bandits to Huan Jie.

Later, even a 1‑star mount could fetch a market price of 1000 Gold Coins per piece.

After all, unlocking the mount slot already costs 500 Gold Coins; once they realize mounts aren't easy to obtain, the nag will definitely sell well.

But Lin Huan helplessly explained the difficulties they face against the Roving Horse Bandits.

Hearing that, Su Sheng froze for a moment then recovered; indeed those bandits are fast, and Lin Huan and the other two are frail classes, hard to handle.

At that moment, Su Ba slapped the table: "I have a solution. Huan Huan, I'll send you some talismans tomorrow."

"Dad, what kind of talismans did you conjure this time?" Su Sheng looked at his father in surprise.

"Wind Running Talisman, increases your movement speed by 30% for 10 seconds," his dad said mystically.

"Whoa, that's good stuff!"

"Dad, that's fine."

Su Sheng looked at Su Ba, Su Wenhao, with some surprise.

Su Wenhao, looking composed, ate a piece of dried radish with plain congee; today Su Ma prepared plain congee, a light meal.

"Of course, otherwise how could I be your dad."

"Dad, is this hard to craft?" Lin Huan asked at that moment.

Su Ba, Su Wenhao's talismans are indeed impressive, but the whole family knows a talisman master's limitation… is the materials.

The earlier Fireball talismans, and the later puppet talismans, have almost become extinct.

Fireball talismans need the "chicken blood" from the original Fengluo Wutong Dungeon.

The puppet talismans aren't extinct; the Demon Energy Castle still exists, but now Qiancheng Muxue is tightly holding the Demon Energy Castle.

However, now puppet talismans have little effect, so I'm too lazy to fight for that Demon Energy Castle.

"Uh…"

Lin Huan's words seemed like a trump card, a one‑hit kill, and Su Ba and Su Wenhao's movements stiffened slightly.

Got it.

Seeing this, everyone realized that making this thing probably isn't easy.

"Ahem, the required materials are indeed strict; I only have a little over thirty sheets on hand."

Su Ba smiled with a hint of insecurity and said.

"No problem, Dad. Then go online and send it to Huan Jie and the others; if you're lucky enough to drop a rein item, selling it for a thousand Gold Coins is definitely doable."

Su Sheng smiled and said.

"What? Really? A thousand Gold Coins??" Su Ba and Su Wenhao widened their eyes.

Then Su Ba skipped breakfast, pulled out his phone, and checked the Gold Coin Ratio.

1:78!

Urgently collected, fluctuating 80‑81.

Count it as 80.

A thousand Gold Coins, eighty thousand.

One item, eighty thousand?

"No, I have to draw talismans! My god, why can't this game be played 24/7?"

The thought that he can only play the game at 8 p. m. made Su Ba feel completely uneasy.

In response, Su Sheng could only laugh speechlessly… an internet‑addicted middle‑aged Su Ba and Su Wenhao.

…

Su Sheng didn't go to work today.

And he arrived at the former Yin Long Security location.

At this moment, Yin Long Security's red brick wall had been altered, raised and reinforced, and was still under construction.

The Yin Long Security sign had also been removed.

It became the Yin Long Club! That's right, the Yin Long Club, not the Yanhuang Club.

At that time, a big truck parked outside the gate, and rows of large crates were being moved inside.

These are game helmets.

Over three thousand game helmets arrived today, which is one reason Su Sheng didn't go to work.

This is also the result of Su Sheng's agreement with the Cang Long chief, even though more than three thousand people of Yin Long have all signed contracts with the Yanhuang Guild.

But Su Sheng doesn't intend to have all Yin Long members join Yanhuang.

Instead, they will split off separately to become a truly independent "Yin Long."

Yin Long belongs to Yanhuang, yet is separate, one bright and one dark.

Even, aside from Su Sheng, Lin Huan didn't know Yin Long existed; he only mentioned it in passing to Chen Guan.

"Three!"

Su Sheng saw Wang Shan arranging those game helmets.

On Yin Long's side, the in‑game matters are temporarily left to Wang Shan to manage.

Even though missing a hand, Wang Shan can still act like a normal person in the game.
