The friend he was referring to was obviously Sesame Rice Ball.
He received Lu Li's message while he was levelling up and was asked to meet up at the Exchange Hall in Stormwind.
After a few minutes, Sesame Rice Ball arrived. Teleportation Portals really shortened the travel time for players. However, in a few months, these portals would be removed and the only way players could travel quickly from place to place was via mounts. In his past life, Lu Li would often hear about the veteran players complaining and reminiscing on the good old days with portals.
However, it would be absurd for the gaming company to expect players to travel the vast world of Azeroth on foot.
There would be many Fly Points added in the main cities that used mounts such as Gryphons, Hippogryphs, Wyverns, Rylaks, Fey Dragons, and Pterrodaxes to allow zone-to-zone transportation for the players.
