"Whoosh whoosh …"
The Black Bristled Wild Boar King was enraged. After two Charges, I lost another 2000 HP. I gulped down a health potion and continued!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Taming failed. The Black Bristled Wild Boar King has officially leveled up to Gold Rank boss. All stats increased by 50%!
… …
The Wild Boar King was a brave one. It actually managed to level me up to Gold Rank. Alright, let's try again. I'll level you up to Immortal Rank. It just so happens that I'm lacking Immortal-grade armor!
Just as I was hoping for it, the wild boar actually humphed and gave in!
Ding ~!
System Notice: Taming successful. The Black Bristled Wild Boar King is now your mount. Your favorability with the mount: 0!
… …
"Haha, I finally tamed it!"
A certain person in the forest smacked the boar's head and said proudly, "Aren't you a brave one?
Hmph hmph, I thought you'd be able to transform into an ultraman, but you're just a Gold Rank boss. Tch!
I look down on you! "
I even used Ling Xue's signature line. It was clear how much pain I'd suffered in the past ten minutes.
Fortunately, in the end, he still managed to obtain this mount. At this time, the Black-haired Wild Boar King did not have the slightest bit of temper. Although it was a boar, it was still a Gold-ranked boss. To be able to pull a boss to ride on was obviously an extremely cool thing.
I opened the pet window and saw the Black Bristled Wild Boar King's stats —

… …
"Haha!
Its stats are so high!
It's even stronger than Sword Fire's Cloudmane Horse! "
I couldn't be happier. I patted the wild boar's head and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go. Let's take a stroll around White Cloud City …"
Thus, I flipped myself onto the horse. Oh, no, I flipped myself onto the boar. This Wild Boar King already had a simple saddle on its body. The System had allowed it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to ride on a mount like a porcupine. "Pa!" A Knight sat on the porcupine. Then, his lower body instantly turned into honeycomb coal.
The Wild Boar King's back was very wide, but the awkward thing was that the Wild Boar King wasn't tall. A 180cm Heavy Armor Warrior like me was clearly riding a pig. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this seemingly cool mount was actually a pig!
But it doesn't matter. As a professional player, I pay more attention to my stats. Looks are all fake. Guardian Of Swordfire may look cool on his Cloudmane Horse, but I can definitely beat him to a pulp with the Black-mane Wild Boar King. Stats are the most important, that's it!
Riding on his mount, he raised the Soul Demise Sword with one hand and lightly swung it forward!
"Swoosh!"
A dark blue sword light cut through the air. "Crack!" A small tree was neatly cut in half. I was slightly surprised. Damn, mounts really are cool. They actually allow melee players to have a little long-range attack. Even though it's only 5 yards away, it's not hard to imagine how cool it would be to charge on a mount in a battle!
Thinking back to the past, the number one player in the China server, Vegetable White Jade Soup, single-handedly created a cavalry of Armored Rhinoceroses. During the Sino-French War, they were simply awe-inspiring. They directly slaughtered their way in and out of the French camp, becoming a legend.
Since that's the case, why don't I start building a similar — — Hmm, for example, a Wild Boar cavalry?
I rubbed the head of the Wild Boar King and smiled, "Little Piggy, what do you think?"
The Black-bristled Wild Boar King visibly trembled and let out two "whoosh whoosh" sounds. Then, it pretended that it didn't hear anything.
At this time, I had already arrived in front of the eastern gate of White Cloud City. The Wild Boar King unleashed its speed and galloped at full speed. This 125% speed boost was based on my movement speed. Originally, my movement speed was about twice as fast, but after the boost, it became 5 times as fast. I charged toward White Cloud City like a bolt of golden light!
"Crack!"
A young warrior pointed a finger and shouted, "Not good, there's a monster attacking the city, and the leader is a Wild Boar Spirit. Heavens, this Wild Boar Spirit even has a hump?"
"Crack!
Look closely, idiot! That's a player riding a wild boar! "
"Riding a wild boar?
Fuck, who's so arrogant as to attack a city on a wild boar? "
At this time, a few beautiful figures appeared in the city. I was surprised to see that it was Ling Yue and Ling Xue's party. They had returned to the city to replenish their supplies, and they hadn't logged off to eat yet. They probably saw the commotion outside the city and came out to watch the show.
I couldn't let go of this great opportunity to show off my skills. I was riding a Gold-rank boss after all, so who cares if it's a pig or a dog!
"Eh?
Isn't that Scholar? "
Ling Xue recognized me immediately and walked up to me with a smile. She waved her snow-white hand in the light of the setting sun and said, "Scholar, over here!"
"Clatter clatter clatter …"
The wild boar stomped its hooves and a golden figure appeared, leaving a trail of dust behind it. As the saying goes: When a concubine smiles while riding on the red dust, no one will know that it is lychee!
What a good poem, what a good poem …
Ling Xue's smile was very sweet. I didn't know if the ancient Yang Yuhuan could be as beautiful as this, but in my eyes, there was no one in the world more beautiful than this little beauty in front of me. Of course, except for my mother, although I couldn't remember what my mother looked like.
"Scholar, Scholar ~ ~" Ling Xue walked up and pressed a hand on the Wild Boar King's head. She said with a smile, "Is this your mount?
Why does it look like a pig? "
I was slightly embarrassed. "This … this mount looks like a pig from afar …"
"But, it also looks like a pig up close!" The little beauty blinked her eyes.
"Alright, it's a pig …"
Behind me, Ling Yue and Qin Yun burst into laughter. Ling Yue said, "Of all the things you could catch, why did you have to catch a pig as your mount? Hmm, it looks like a lump of fat running around …"
The surrounding players also laughed. There were many players from Snow Moon among them. Seeing that the core players of Snow Moon were gathered here, they wouldn't pass up the chance to watch a good show.
As a result, I swung my sword and said with a smile, "But this pig really is amazing. Look, when I ride on it, my attack speed increases by 40%, and my movement speed increases by a lot. Plus, I can run really fast!"
As I said this, I waved my sword and patted the pig's butt. The Black Bristled Wild Boar King immediately began to shake on the spot. Its pitiful turning speed caused the entire pig to become very clumsy.
The little beauties covered their mouths and giggled. Ling Xue said, "But, why can't I see where it's strong?"
I lightly brandished my sword. "Cha! Cha! Cha!" Three streaks of sword light landed on the ground, creating deep sword marks.
Everyone was slightly shocked, so I flipped off the pig and "caressed" the pig's head. I said in a low voice, "Old friend, work hard. Don't make me look bad. If you perform well, I'll go to Moonlight Forest tomorrow and find you another beautiful female pig. How does that sound?"
The Wild Boar King immediately glared at me. I could actually see some sadness and anger in its black eyes.
In the next moment, the Wild Boar King let out a roar, turned around and ran. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into Moonlight Forest —
Ding ~!
System Notice: Your mount, the Black Bristled Wild Boar King, has betrayed you!
… …
"Fuck!" My eyes widened. Fuck, you're not giving me face, are you?
The girls were also dumbfounded. Ling Xue looked up and asked me, "How do you explain this?"
I rubbed my nose awkwardly. "It's … probably shy …"
Ling Xue said resentfully, "I thought you could take me on a horse with you … but it looks like there's no chance now!"
Ling Yue walked forward and said with a smile, "Scholar, this mount is too lousy. When we get back, we'll tame another top-grade one. We'll help you together. Now, let's go offline and eat …"
"Mn, alright!"
I turned around and looked at the wild boar king in disdain. I'd treated it so well, but it had been so heartless.
The onlookers looked very serious. I turned around and glanced at them. "If you want to laugh, laugh. What's with the long faces? I'm not a Arrogant Maniac, and I won't kill people …"
"Wahahahaha!
This is the number one expert of White Cloud City! "
"Hahahaha, the number one expert riding a pig!"
"Hahaha, I's so funny!"
… …
The roar of laughter exploded like a nuclear bomb.
I was speechless. These bastards were too despicable. Never mind, I'll log off and eat. After that, I'll check if there are any places in White Cloud City that can produce high-level mounts. Maybe I can even tame a boss-tier mount if I bring all the girls in the workshop with me!
Hmph hmph, I'll ride a Holy Giant Dragon or a White Jade Qilin when I come back. I'll shock you bastards to death!
I logged off, and the girls next to me followed suit. We didn't have much to eat at noon, and our internal organs were about to rebel.
When I arrived at the hall, the girls were already waiting for me.
Bing Cha asked with a smile, "How does it feel to ride a pig, handsome?"
I took a sip of tea. "It's okay, but it's not stable enough. It doesn't have a shockproof shaft."
"..."
Qin Yun and Summer went to heat up the dishes. Ling Yue took out a notebook and opened it. After browsing the forums, she said with a smile, "Scholar, come sit next to me."
"Oh?"
Although I was a bit puzzled, I still walked over and sat next to Ling Yue. The fragrance of a young girl immediately seeped into my nose. It was intoxicating.
Ling Yue pointed a finger and said, "Look at this thread!"
I moved closer to her, and Ling Yue moved back with a smile. Her soft hair immediately brushed against my neck, and my face was almost plastered to her proud figure. Ling Yue's figure was exactly the same as Ling Xue's. They were both so proud and tempting that it would be a crime to commit!
When the fragrance entered my nose, I couldn't focus on the thread anymore. However, Ling Yue saw it and couldn't help but giggle. She whispered into my ear, "Focus, focus, don't look around ~"
Although she said that, Ling Yue's body leaned forward slightly when she cut her hair. Her girlish pride highlighted her perfect figure even more. I couldn't help but wonder what she was trying to do. Every man's self-control was limited.
"Ahem!" I coughed softly and picked up a cup of water to hide my embarrassment.
Ling Yue smiled. "That's my water."
"Ah, you can't drink it?"
"You can drink it if you want, as long as you don't mind ~" The little beauty said with a smile.
At this time, I began to focus on the content of the thread on the forums. It was about mounts: Southeast of White Cloud City, after crossing the White Cloud Mountain Range, you will arrive at the territory of the undead. Outside the territory, deep in the forest, there is a Level 135 elite monster called the "Fire Cloud Leopard". It is a mount that can be tamed, but this kind of Fire Cloud Leopard usually appears in packs, and to this day, no player has been able to tame it.
There was once a knight who formed a hundred-man party and spent five hours crossing the White Cloud Mountain Range to reach the forest. However, the party was overwhelmed by a pack of Fire Cloud Leopards within ten minutes. Not a single one of them survived. Therefore, although the Fire Cloud Leopards there were top-tier mounts, it became a forbidden land for knights. No one dared to go there anymore.
… …
Ling Yue said with a smile, "What do you think? Are you interested in challenging this Fire Cloud Leopard? It's huge and fast. It's a top-tier mount!"
I nodded and said, "It's a good idea, but it's too far to cross the White Cloud Mountain Range. It'll take 5 hours of walking. I'll leave tonight and sleep at dawn. Then, I'll catch it tomorrow."
"Are you alone?" Ling Yue pouted, seemingly a little angry.
My heart skipped a beat and I immediately changed my words. "If you don't have a leveling spot to go, then come with me!"
"Mn. Since you're inviting me so sincerely, then I'll accompany you!" Ling Yue said with a sweet smile. But I was very confused. How did she see my sincerity?
Ling Yue said, "However, it's said that the chance of taming a beast is very low, and it's easy for monsters to go berserk and evolve. Therefore, Sister Qin Yun should come with us. A party without a healer is unreliable. Also, Ling Xue and Chrysanthemum Daohana should come with us. With these powerful helpers, we'll be safe. After all, we've never been there before, and we don't know how strong it is. If a couple of Level 200 monsters jump out of nowhere, we'll be wiped for sure."
"Oh right, if the taming fails, the monster will evolve. Isn't that a bug?
They can use this method to kill the boss, can't they? "
Ling Yue laughed softly. "Of course not. Are the people of Eternal Moon Corporation that stupid?
There's no reward for killing a boss that evolves after taming fails. In fact, there's not even half a gold or experience! "
"Oh, I see …"
It wasn't long before dinner started. I called Ling Xue and told her about the operation tonight. Then, I logged into the game on time.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask the girls to accompany me to capture a mount, we were all members of the workshop, and we were even closer to each other. Therefore, I didn't complain. After I logged into the game that night, I gathered the girls at White Cloud City and prepared to depart!
