Chapter 57 Fire Phoenix
Mounts
Bu Qianli said calmly, "It's a time-limited mission. We have to rescue his wife and children within two hours."
When he said this, his voice paused, and then he continued, "This mission can only be completed by you and me. When we get to the Floating Island, you must stay with me and treat me. Don't worry about anything that happens."
[Channel] Dong Dong hid: OK, I got it.
"Well, let's go up now."
Chi Dong glanced at the map. The location of the Floating Island was not far from their current coordinates, but the difficulty lay in that it was an island suspended in mid-air, and players had to be able to fly if they wanted to go up there.
In "Heroes", only wings and mounts can fly. Chi Dong has wings, and those wings were given to him by Bu Qianli. But he didn't take them out, but stored them in the warehouse.
It's not that he doesn't want to wear it, but his current level and equipment haven't kept up with the team. In addition, wings are rare and can be dropped. He is worried that he will be killed and exploded when doing missions in the wild, which would be a big loss.
So when Bu Qianli gave him the wings, he put them into the warehouse without a second thought and never took them out to use once.
Bu Qianli noticed his strangeness and thought he was worried that it would be difficult for two people to defeat the boss, so he comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the mission only requires us to rescue people, so the boss's damage will not be very high."
[Channel] Dong Dong hid: No... that’s not the reason, sorry.
Bu Qianli frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
[Channel] Dong Dong hides: I'm afraid I can't go to Fuchen Island. I put the wings you gave me last time in the warehouse and didn't bring them out. I'm sorry. TAT
As soon as he finished speaking, Bu Qianli's brows relaxed and he chuckled, "Don't worry, I can still take you up without wings."
How to get up without wings?
Chi Dong was typing away on the keyboard, and before he could finish typing a sentence, an invitation pop-up window popped up on the game interface.
[I invite you to ride with me every ten steps. Do you agree? 】
Chi Dong was stunned for a moment, and then a clear and pleasant sound came from the earphone, which sounded like a flute and bells. Only then did he realize that a huge bird covered in flames suddenly appeared beside Bu Qianli.
Chi Dong stared at the screen stupidly, his mind was blank.
Oh my God, he must be seeing things. Is this the legendary fire phoenix?
Chi Dong had seen it in the official promotional video. When the promotional video came out, it immediately caused a lot of competition among players. Many top players rushed to find out where to get it. They learned that it needed to be updated before it was officially released.
As a result, they waited and waited for two full months before the update announcement came out. The game maintenance ended at 5 a.m. the next day, and 80% of the players were waiting online. I heard that players from all districts were queuing that day, especially in district one, "Baidi City", where some players waited in line for five hours and still couldn't get in.
The scene was comparable to the early days of the server launch.
The first batch of players who went online searched everywhere, but after a month, no one had been able to obtain the Fire Phoenix. However, some players were luckier and although they did not obtain the Fire Phoenix, they did obtain other rare mounts or pets.
It was not until the end of the martial arts conference that year that there was a rumor that Shi Bu Sha Yi Ren had a fire phoenix in his hand, but no one knew the certainty of the news. In addition, no one had ever seen Bu Qianli summon the fire phoenix, so over time, everyone thought it was fake news.
Chi Dong also thought it was just a rumor, but he never expected it to be true. Bu Qianli actually had a fire phoenix mount.
Seeing that he remained silent and had no reaction, nor did he agree to the invitation to ride together, Bu Qianli pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The magnetic and steady voice coming out of the earphone startled Chi Dong and he quickly came back to his senses.
[Channel] Dong Dong hides: Nothing much, just a little curious if this Fire Phoenix is the one promoted on the official website? I have never seen it before.
Bu Qianli chuckled and explained, "You guessed right, it is indeed the Fire Phoenix."
"I rarely summon it because its color is too conspicuous and will attract other people's attention once it is summoned. In addition, it is just a mount and is useless for PVE and PVP."
[Channel] Dongdong hid: Oh oh oh, so that's how it is, no wonder I haven't seen it before.
"Well, it's getting late, come up quickly." Bu Qianli glanced at the time on the lower right corner of the computer and frowned slightly. There was only an hour and a half left.
He is the CEO of ET. and the producer of the "Hero" project, but he let go of the overall power of the project in the middle of the game and no longer asked about the detailed development progress of the project. Instead, he conducted research on the later stages of the project through the monthly reports and materials submitted by each project.
So even he doesn't know the details of all the tasks in the game.
Bu Qianli invited him to ride together again. This time, Chi Dong agreed without hesitation and sat behind Bu Qianli the next second. After sitting, Chi Dong felt that he was surrounded by red flames. He moved the mouse left and right to see the two people clearly.
With a clear "Chiah~" cry, the Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the sky with the two of them.
There are many kinds of mounts in "Heroes of Heroes", which are divided into three levels: low, medium and high. Low-level mounts are usually ready-made products purchased from the mall.
Intermediate mounts are obtained from mount eggs obtained from ordinary dungeons. High-level mounts can only be obtained from mount eggs obtained from large-scale group dungeons, outdoor bosses, and participating in server-wide competitions.
The Fire Phoenix is a high-level mount, and it is estimated that it may be the only one in the entire server. If this news gets out, those people who are crazy about the Fire Phoenix will probably hate Bu Qianli to death.
Riding together is a very ambiguous behavior in "Heroes of the Storm", and most of the time it is used in pairs.
Chi Dong sat behind Bu Qianli, with his hands as if he was hugging the person in front of him. If other people were present at this moment and saw them hugging each other, there would definitely be another uproar.
It was Chi Dong's first time to ride together, so he didn't know how to ride together. He looked away awkwardly, pursed his lips slightly, and sweat broke out on his palms.
What Chi Dong didn't know was that this hugging action could actually be avoided, because if the mount in "Hero" is in bird form, when inviting others to ride together, the player sitting at the back will take the initiative to hug the player in front.
Therefore, in order to avoid such embarrassing situations, many people choose to buy other types of mounts, such as wolfhounds, tigers and other single-person mounts.
Fortunately, the riding time was not long. After flying for less than three minutes, the two arrived at the Floating Island.
As soon as the Fire Phoenix touched the ground, Chi Dong hurriedly pressed the button to cancel the co-riding state, double-clicked the spacebar and jumped down directly.
Before coming down, he did not forget to take a few screenshots. After all, the opportunity to take a photo with the only Fire Phoenix in the entire server was rare.
"So this is the Floating Island." Chi Dong rested his chin on his hand, staring intently at the picture he had never seen before, and muttered to himself.
Suddenly remembering something, he quickly turned on the photo mode and, just like before, found some tricky angles to take the photos.
On the other side, Bu Qianli saw him jumping around, and a smile flashed in his eyes. He could see that Chi Dong was particularly excited.
Seeing how excited he was, Bu Qianli gave up the idea of asking him to go with him and prepared to go to the mission point alone to take a look. This was also his first time in this new map.
For all the designs and scenes in "Heroes of the Storm", he and Jiang Ying would not interfere too much with the production team's decisions, and would only intervene when they made major mistakes.
"Dongdong, come here."
Bu Qianli followed the mission instructions and came to a sea of flowers. He stared at the scene in front of him without blinking, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
Hearing the sound, Chi Dong realized that Bu Qianli was not nearby, so he quickly turned off the camera mode and flew over quickly with a few quick steps.
What met his eyes was an endless sea of flowers. Everything was bright and dazzling, with petals flying in the wind. It didn't look like a mission point at all, but rather a sacred place for couples to meet.
Chi Dong flew quickly through clusters of flowers, stopped beside Bu Qianli, and followed closely like a little wife, following her every step.
Bu Qianli brought him to the center of the sea of flowers, where there was a door covered with flower petals. Bu Qianli was silent for a moment, then opened the door and walked in, with Chi Dong following closely behind.
After entering, the computer screen suddenly turned dark. If it weren't for the few lines of text that appeared on the screen a few seconds later, reminding him that he had entered the psychedelic cave, he would have thought that his computer had malfunctioned.
After all, this old computer has had this problem before.
Not only was it pitch black on his side, but it was also dark on Bu Qianli's side.
Bu Qianli asked calmly, "Dongdong, can you open the map in the upper right corner?"
Chi Dong tried it, and the system prompted him that he was in an unknown place and had no idea where he was, so he should actively explore.
[Channel] Dong Dong hid: I tried, but it won’t open.
“Can you open the skill list?”
Hearing this, Chi Dong hurriedly tried to open it.
[Channel] Dongdong hides: Sure!
"Okay, let's see if you have learned the torch skill column?" Chi Dong flipped to the last page and saw a skill icon that looked like a torch, and typed a reply.
[Channel] Dongdong hid: Found it, I have learned it.
"Well, put it in the shortcut key column so you can use it easily."
[Channel] Dong Dong hides: OK, I've done it.
"Well, now listen carefully, do you hear any sound?"
"Any sound?" Chi Dong whispered to himself, "...No, there is no sound at all."
Is it because the volume of the headphones is too low?
Without waiting for Chi Dong to type a reply, Bu Qianli said as if there was a worm in his stomach, "Turn up the volume to the maximum."
Hey, there really is a sound!
It's a bit like... the sound of running water!
[Channel] Dongdong hid: I heard it, it was the sound of water.
"Okay, now turn on the torch skill and follow the mission instructions to walk towards the direction of the sound of flowing water."
