urrency is useless either.Lin Yingying's idea was to buy the recipe now while it's available. Buying it wouldn't be a loss for sure. The rest of the money, she planned to use it to buy forging bluepri...“My comrades were all taken!” Dongge’s face was filled with terror as he explained, “We came to this area and saw the power of death rampant. We sent a message to Lord Locke, and afterward, members of the Pale Brotherhood attacked us. Ale died on the spot, and the rest were captured by the Pale Brotherhood. Because I am an assassin, I ran faster, plus I have advanced stealth skills, so I managed to escape. However, because there are too many undead skeletons nearby, I can’t leave, I can only hide in a corner.”

Tong said a string of words, gasped for air, and then said: "My friend, can you help me save my companions"

"Ding, mission detected: Rescue the Guard (Unique), accept"

Huh

Did you trigger the task

It's still a single quest!

Lu Kong looked at the mission introduction.

Mission: Rescue the Guard (only)

Introduction: The guard forces initially dispatched for the investigation were captured by members of the Pale Order, with only the assassin Dongge surviving. Dongge hopes you can rescue his comrades.

Note: This task is extremely difficult, it's best to bring your teammates!

Reward: Experience points 40, 200 gold coins, Great Wu City reputation 150, 800 achievement points, Legendary Equipment Box *1

After seeing the rewards, Lu Kong instantly broke into a smile.

This reward is pretty good, there's even an equipment treasure chest!

This means there's an epic piece of equipment.

A first-tier epic piece of equipment, it's definitely better than everything he's currently wearing.

How can you refuse this

"They were taken to where" Lu Kong turned his gaze towards Dong Ge and asked.

Dong Ge's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately pointed to the depths of the valley, where there was a jumbled pile of rocks.

Behind the pile of rubble there is a path, although I have never gone in, previous members of the Pale Order took my companions into it.

"My friend, we must leave at once! Those ghastly members of the Pale Covenant are wicked and could very well be experimenting on my companions with necromancy! Oh, dear heavens, poor Miss Shirley, poor Marnan..."

Lu Kong listened to Dong Ge's introduction and guessed that there were probably many members of the Pale Congregation inside.

Even the undead outside are elites, and I'm afraid the members of the Pale Order inside are also elites.

He's almost out of backpack space now. If he encounters a horde of monsters again later, even if he disassembles legendary equipment, he might not be able to put everything down.

It's time to head back first, clean out my backpack after I get there, and then go do the missions.

Thinking of this, Lu Kong looked at Dong Ge and revealed a smile: "My friend, I need to return to Dahu City to prepare for a bit. You wait here for a while, maybe a few hours, and I'll be back."

"Huh" Dong Ge was taken aback by Lu Kong's words, his expression bewildered.

Only after Lü Kong had used the city return scroll of Dà Wǔ City did he realize what he had done.

Looking at the white bones strewn across the ground, and the valley where a cold wind whistled through the trees, Dong Ge stood in the wind, his mouth agape. For a moment, he didn't even know what to say.

The next moment, Dong Ge darted back into the crevice where he had been hiding, a single character—grass—emerging from the gap like a whisper.

…………

Back at his rented place, Lu Kong put all the Origin Essence from his backpack, along with almost twenty pieces of legendary equipment, into the safe in the rental's room.

The safe is in the bedroom. Lu Kong guessed that this should be a must-have for every player renting a room.

He also found that if he went offline in his rented house, he would have a well-rested bonus state the next day, which could increase experience gain by 50%.

Without mentioning other benefits, these two alone are probably enough to make many people want to rent a place in Dabu City.

I wonder if there are any other hidden benefits.

And, do different levels of houses have different effects

For example, would safes and vaults in mansions and estates be larger Would the benefits of a good night's sleep be even better

If that were really the case, then many wealthy people would probably try to rent the most luxurious mansions.

Unfortunately, the manor and villas can only be rented by nobles. Otherwise, Lu Kong would have tried both.

Lu Kong put everything into the safe and then left the rental.

He mounted his beloved, enchanted dire wolf, ready to leave the city, when suddenly he remembered something.

Mount issue!

Before that, in Yuexi Town, he had heard from Mo Nuo that you could buy high-grade mounts at the mount shop.

Thinking about this, Lu Kong found a guard and asked for the location of the riding stable.

The saddlery is located in the commercial district, not too far from here.

Lu Kong quickly found the mount shop. It was a huge building, two stories high.

Above it, the name of the mount shop in Dawu City is written.

Lu Kong strode inside. Unlike what Lu Kong had imagined, the interior wasn't filled with mounts for people to view and choose from, but rather a bustling marketplace.

There are two rows of counters in the lobby, with young ladies sitting behind them as salespersons.

Besides Lu Kong himself, some other adventurers are also here intending to buy mounts.

However, there are still some vacancies.

Lu Kong walked over and sat down in front of a counter. The pretty saleswoman saw Lu Kong and immediately smiled: "Hello, Mr. Lu Kong, welcome to our Great Martial City's mount shop! What kind of mount do you need"

Li Kong asked, "What kind are there I don't know much about mounts."

"Mounts are divided into three types: land mounts, flying mounts, and water mounts. Flying mounts have the fastest movement speed, but only high-ranking nobles can afford them. Sir Lu Kong, you haven't met the requirements yet. Among land mounts, different qualities of mounts have different speeds. Excellent quality mounts increase your movement speed by 50%, fine quality by 100%, legendary quality by 200%, and epic quality by 300%. As for mounts above legendary quality, there are none in the shop. Additionally, water mounts are also not available in the shop. Please understand, Sir Lu Kong."

Lu Kong's eyes lit up. His enchanted werewolf was excellent quality, capable of increasing movement speed by about double. Legendary quality movement speed was another level faster than excellent!

If it's epic quality, that goes even faster.

Of course, Lu Kong's idea is that the higher the quality, the better. However, this also depends on the price.

Lu Kong hurriedly asked, "How much does the legendary land mount cost, and how much does the epic land mount cost"

The little sister was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Lu Kong, the price of legendary mounts like Landrunners varies from 5,000 to 20,000 gold coins. As for epic mounts, depending on their type, they generally cost over 100,000 gold coins."

Lu Kong gasped, he didn't expect the price to be so expensive!

Before, renting a house in the sky for a year only cost two hundred gold coins. The price of a legendary mount was tens of times more expensive than rent.

But thinking about it, it's normal after all, considering this is a legendary item.

Fortunately, he has money now, enough to buy the epic mount!

Lukong smiled and said, "Could you please let me have a look at the epic mount"

The little sister didn't expect that Lu Kong would actually say he wanted to see the epic mount. She couldn't help but be stunned.

This is worth over 100,000 gold coins!

Mr. Lu Kong, didn't you just advance to the first rank Where did you get so many gold coins

The little sister doesn't quite understand.

But she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Lu Kong, I didn't explain it clearly just now. Epic mounts can only be purchased by intermediate nobles."

""

His smile became a little awkward: "...What about the legendary mount"

The little sister chuckled softly: "Only nobles of the first rank can purchase it."

Land and Air: 6.

So reputation is actually this useful in Wucheng

He couldn't even afford a legendary mount, let alone an epic one!

The air on land is terrible, a waste of time!

He said, "Well then, I'll buy it when I become a junior noble."

The young lady was taken aback and hurriedly said, "You could consider buying a high-quality mount to ride for now."

"No need, I have a fine-quality mount."

Little sister: " "

She was dumbfounded. Lu Kong had never been to the mount shop before, so how did he get such a fine mount

Lu Kong didn't know what the little sister was thinking. He asked, "By the way, can you learn the skill of capturing mounts here I hope to learn it."

The young lady immediately came to her senses.

She nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course, I'll have someone take you there!".in the secret realm.Lu Kong looked at the sacred treasure chest in front of him, his eyes were red with excitement.This is good stuff!As for the 30th-level high-ranking Emperor in front, it is natura...
