The Mount System
Sexy Big Cockroach: Could this Jiu Chen be the next gaming prodigy the Military is going to promote?
After Jian Qingfeng fell silent, many players began to speculate about a conspiracy.
A complete novice player with no reputation suddenly creates a Profession and becomes a gaming genius; anyone would be skeptical.
Even Jian Qingfeng himself came out to praise him.
Star Like Rain: You mean Lord Qingfeng a newbie? That can't be right. Who is this Jiu Chen? How could the number one player in the game specifically stand up for him and make him famous?
Supreme Fungus: Lord Qingfeng matter how strong you are, that's only in the game. In reality, it's hard to say! This Jiu Chen might be the Lord Qingfeng prince of some family. You have no choice but to submit.
Star Like Rain: Wow, that Jiu Chen is so awful!
For a time, the World Channel were filled with speculation about Xiao Fan's real identity.
Shadow: Shut up, all of you! Jiu Chen's real-life family background is very ordinary. He won Lord Qingfeng's praise because he is very strong. To tell you the truth, Jiu Chen is the strongest player I have ever seen.
Having just finished his work, Ye Bugu saw the system notification and was about to send a message to congratulate Xiao Fan when he saw the conversation in the World Channel. He immediately stood up to argue.
Xiao Fan was the godfather he truly believed in! With the Heaven-Tier Skill that Xiao Fan helped him create, Ye Bugu instantly became a top player in the game.
The Night Blade Mercenary Group he founded—no, it's now called the Night Blade Sect, and it's become a top-tier gang—was all thanks to Xiao Fan.
How could Ye Bugu tolerate others slandering Xiao Fan?
Yue Qianjun: Isn't this the Shadow Guild Leader? You also know this Jiu Chen?
As the third player in the Dragon Nation to publicly possess Heaven-Tier Skill, Ye Bugu's name is known to everyone in the game, not to mention that the Night Blade Sect behind him is also very powerful now.
Upon seeing him speak up for Xiao Fan, the players who had been making malicious guesses immediately fell silent.
Shadow: Hmph! Jiu Chen is the player I admire most in the game, bar none! Anyone who speaks ill of him is going against my Night Blade Sect! Don't blame me for being impolite then.
After a two-second pause in the World Channel, players consciously skipped the topic during their conversations; the Night Blade Sect was indeed someone they couldn't afford to mess with.
However, after hearing what Ye Bugu and Jian Qingfeng said, all the players became even more curious about Xiao Fan.
Xiao Fan, who was in the Novice Zone, was unaware of what was happening in the World Channel.
Since the system announcement, he has received over 99 friend requests and messages from all his acquaintances.
Zhou He: Even if you don't join our Military District, you must join us after we've established the city!
As soon as the Profession creation system was introduced, Xiao Fan created a T1 Rank Profession. Although Zhou He didn't know where this T1 ranked in the level hierarchy, it was definitely better than Jian Qingfeng's second-rate Profession.
After Xiao Fan joins their city, they can learn the Profession he created—perfect!
Xiao Fan: Don't worry.
Jian Qingfeng: It's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Profession have levels. Luckily I didn't immediately switch to the Profession I created, otherwise I would have missed a chance to switch to a higher-level Profession. I'll wait for you to leave the Novice Zone!
Xiao Fan: No wonder he's the top player in the game. He was the first to create Profession and he could resist turning off the screen. How many players have that kind of self-control?
All his friends were asking about creating Profession, and Xiao Fan replied to them one by one, mainly because he didn't have many friends.
After closing the friends list, Xiao Fan remembered that he seemed to have been rewarded with a Mount Space after successfully creating Profession.
"This should be in the Mount System."
Xiao Fan glanced at the Lower Stream page and noticed a new horse head icon in the lower right corner with the word "ride" on it, which should be the Mount System.
"This game finally updated with mounts, so I don't have to walk anymore."
Xiao Fan opened the Mount System with anticipation.
"I wish I could create this thing."
Imagine creating a bird mount that's even more beautiful than the Zijin, one that can actually fly! Just thinking about it is awesome!
Unfortunately, no.
There are three ways to obtain mounts. One is through system rewards, where players have a chance to be rewarded with a mount after completing a certain task or milestone.
"This 'Cloud Sea' game is so stingy! They released Mount System but didn't even give everyone a mount, not even the worst one."
Xiao Fan couldn't help but complain.
They really aren't giving away the game!
The second method is to capture them in the wild.
Of course, not all wild animals can be captured and used as mounts; only those animals that the system indicates can be captured can be used as mounts.
The third method is more abstract: creating mounts.
This is different from creation. Creation relies entirely on one's imagination, while making requires blueprints and materials.
This is outrageous! It's worthless, yet they want to make it.
The system did not provide any information on how to obtain the drawings and materials.
Of the three ways to obtain mounts, the system rewards won't be the best, but they won't be the worst either.
Capturing a mount in the wild depends on luck; the better the mount, the harder it is to capture.
The third type is probably the most precious and difficult to obtain.
The Mount Space is used to store mounts.
One space can only hold one mount; if there's no Mount Space, you'll have to keep it with you.
Currently, the only way to obtain Mount Space is through system rewards; it remains to be seen whether new ways to obtain it will be added in the future.
According to Jian Qingfeng, in addition to the four systems that have been opened, the game has also opened up two other content areas.
One is the opening of floors 11 to 20 of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Xiao Fan had discovered this when he participated in the competition before. At that time, he found the entrance to the upper level, but he couldn't go up because his level was not high enough.
The Myriad Phenomena Tower is still dangerous. Currently, there is only one level 100 player, Jian Qingfeng, on the server, so it's unlikely that anyone will challenge the Myriad Phenomena Tower anytime soon.
The last one is the opening of the Monster Region.
Xiao Fan originally thought that the upgraded creatures in <Cloud Sea> were Fierce Beast and mutated plants, but the opening of the Monster Region meant that the background of <Cloud Sea> had just not been fully developed.
The Monster Region is clearly more dangerous than the current wilderness, otherwise it wouldn't have been opened only after players reached level 100.
There might be more areas for spirit beasts or divine beasts further on.
Zijin is none other than the Spirit Sparrow; he had previously obtained the Beast Soul.
Thinking about all this, Xiao Fan felt some pressure. He suddenly realized that he couldn't afford to fall behind in level any further.
If Cloud Sea is as simple as before, then it can develop slowly.
However, as the top-tier players level up, the increasing amount of game content inevitably makes the Game Association more and more dangerous.
"Looks like we need to upgrade as soon as possible."
"I'll create the three Evolution Fragment for my Profession in the Zone 18 over the next two days, then level up and leave the Zone 18."
