Chapter 91: An Eerie Mount
The guild shop of the Sunshine Glory Guild is located near the market, not far from the large square. The shop is managed by a fierce weasel in a small suit.
"What do you want?"
After the necromancer presented a priority delivery note, the fierce weasel looked at Gu Xi.
"Based on your current level, you can take away one hundred undead from here, plus goods worth up to 300 yuan. Rest assured, these goods have an internal discount, and 300 yuan is enough to buy a blue-quality weapon or equipment."
"And a mount, this will be on my account." The necromancer who brought Gu Xi here added at this moment.
"Okay, I'll pick a better mount for him. What about you? Have you decided what you want? Blue-quality weapons and equipment are over here."
"I don't want blue weapons. I want to ask, if I exchange this money for ten units of mercury, how many magic potions can I get? I want the kind that instantly restores all mana."
The fierce weasel looked Gu Xi up and down with some curiosity at his question.
"How much mana do you have now?"
"800 points. If possible, I can temporarily increase it by another 100."
"Oh, this is quite high for a Level 3 necromancer. In that case, I personally recommend this 1000-point medium blue bottle, 10 yuan per bottle. If you want ten units of mercury, you can get another ten medium blue bottles."
Gu Xi didn't speak but looked back at the necromancer.
The necromancer nodded at Gu Xi, indicating that the price was acceptable.
At this point, Gu Xi decisively said, "Deal."
Although a bit surprised that Gu Xi didn't want blue equipment, the fierce weasel wasn't the talkative type. He didn't persuade Gu Xi to buy a good weapon, just accepted the 300 yuan temporarily paid by the necromancer and handed over the items Gu Xi needed.
The medium blue bottles delivered were crystal bottles the size of a fist, filled with a blue potion. Just holding the blue potion bottles, Gu Xi could feel his mana being stimulated.
If he drinks this potion, it should definitely replenish his consumed mana in a short time.
As for the mercury, it was stored in a lead can the size of a human head. Gu Xi could even feel the faint wails emanating from the mercury.
This was the special mercury needed by the undead.
Mercury was just an ordinary material, but with some soul fragments added, it gained special effects.
After counting the mercury, Gu Xi nodded to the necromancer.
"Alright, now we just need a mount."
The necromancer was quite satisfied with Gu Xi's attitude. In his opinion, knowing what you want and making quick decisions was the attitude a guild player should have.
Hesitating and dithering in the guild shop was not the mark of a good player.
Only those like Gu Xi, who kept the guild in mind, were good brothers.
The necromancer nodded with satisfaction and prepared to pick a good mount for Gu Xi.
As for the one hundred undead soldiers, there was nothing to choose. The guild had its rules: Level 3 players could only be assigned Level 3 skeleton soldiers.
When they arrived, everything had been prepared. As long as Gu Xi selected his items, the necromancer could send him on his way.
Now he just needed to pick a mount with a fast movement speed for Gu Xi.
"Let me see, this one. Comrade Gu Xi, come and see the mount I picked for you."
Gu Xi was pulled aside by the necromancer and didn't know what to say when he saw the mount chosen for him.
He knew that White Training City, as a city following the undead path, would have a somewhat eerie style.
But this mount was too eerie.
The chosen mount was a normal-sized red lacquered coffin, covered with various talismans and wrapped with two thick layers of iron chains.
Despite this, the coffin lid occasionally popped up, releasing some black mist each time it did.
"This is it. What do you think, comrade?"
Gu Xi had originally just wanted a warhorse or something, but seeing the necromancer's gaze, he stepped forward to take a look.
[Evil Coffin (White, Mount): Mount for undead players and heroes, with a movement speed of 80 kilometers per hour, can carry one person.]
"It's, it's okay."
"Okay is good. Let me tell you, this is a top-quality white mount. Generally, white mounts have a movement speed of about 60 kilometers per hour, but this one can reach 80 kilometers, which is quite impressive.
The most important thing is this, see these talismans? This is a speed talisman. Although it no longer has any effect, it proves that this evil coffin can have talismans attached.
When you get back, I'll help you apply to learn some talisman techniques. Once you attach the talismans to the coffin, its movement speed can be further increased. By then, no one will be able to catch up with you, and you'll be quite impressive."
Gu Xi could only nod in response to the necromancer's words.
Then the necromancer led Gu Xi to take over the assigned one hundred undead soldiers and brought him to the game world's login device.
"Comrade, can we wait a moment? I need to handle these things first."
Hearing Gu Xi's words, the necromancer hurried to send him into the game.
Taking this opportunity, Gu Xi sent the newly acquired one hundred undead soldiers and ten units of mercury back to Aridowei City.
When sending these soldiers back, Gu Xi specially wrote a note to Luna.
The note instructed Luna to send all one hundred skeleton soldiers to the Bone Cutting Camp to replenish its depleted forces.
Additionally, the ten units of mercury were to be used for building the Dragon Bone Laboratory. Once the dock area's market and warehouses were completed, Luna needed to focus on building the Dragon Bone Laboratory.
After all, the completion of the Dragon Bone Laboratory would be very beneficial for Gu Xi to release the Death Incarnation.
At that time, Gu Xi would only need to release the Death Incarnation once and maintain it without letting it die.
There would be no need to consume all his mana every time in battle to summon it and then let it disperse after the battle.
If he fought like that, even with more blue bottles, he wouldn't be able to sustain the mana consumption.
The necromancer had no objections to Gu Xi sending the undead 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 around, only showing up on the battlefield during combat.
