Chapter 97: Using Points to Exchange for an Exclusive Mount for the Host
Bai Mengran helped out for a while and found that after the tumor was removed, everything became orderly.
Li Xiuniang skillfully directed the arriving guests to buy tickets and obtain numbers one by one. After purchasing their tickets, they could rest briefly in the waiting room while waiting for the carriage to be changed.
Having learned from the previous example, the rest of the people restrained themselves, and no one even made a loud noise.
Bai Mengran realized that she wasn't needed here anymore. Anyway, the system could guarantee the safety of the three waiting rooms, and if something similar happened, the system could handle it from all three sides.
After contacting Er Gou and Xiao Chuan to inquire about their current situation and learning that they were both safe and sound, Bai Mengran felt relieved and decided to leave, leaving the three venues to be managed by the three of them.
She's off to continue her mission!
She still needs to go to the He residence today to ask the steward to finalize the purchase of the shop as soon as possible.
Next, she planned to inquire about renting public areas to place shared bicycles after finishing her business at the county government office.
……
Then the problem is coming.
"System, this carriage is now truly useful. How do I get back?"
Bai Mengran suddenly realized the problem. The two horse-drawn carriages to Heshun Town were already fully booked, and it would be a waste for her to take up another one as a mode of transportation.
[Host, um, would you like a mount?]
The system continued: "[The Mount System] came to me after seeing my recent surge in points, saying it wanted to exchange its mount for 10 points."
It's said that its host was just lazing around all day, changing mounts to take girls out to play without doing any tasks, so its task points were almost at the bottom, and it had no choice but to go around asking the system to exchange for more points.
I tried to negotiate, offering to trade 5 points for a mount, but it refused, and the deal fell through...
"Mounts? Are you talking about those super cool mounts in games that come with special effects and can fly and go anywhere?"
Bai Mengran used to be a netizen who played a lot of online games, so she got excited as soon as she heard that the system could change mounts.
【Hmm, the mounts produced by the system are much cooler than that.】
I originally wanted to get a cheaper one and give it to the host, but this "Mount System" is too stingy and insists on charging me 10 points.
I'll just leave it to air out for now...
"Ahhh, I want it! I really want it! Tongbao, 10 points isn't much, let's go exchange it for a mount! Ahhh (n?o?n)~"
Bai Mengran screamed inwardly, "Oh my god, I can get a mount for only 10 points! What a bargain! It's just one more quest!"
[Alright, alright, host, wait for me. I'll go trade with the Mount System right away.]
"Then go quickly! I'll wait for you to come back here~"
[Host, this is the list of mounts you can change. It was sent to me by the [Mount System] last time. You can choose one first.]
After the system finished speaking, it muted its microphone and went to send a private message. Bai Mengran looked at the various dazzling mounts in the encyclopedia and felt like her eyes were about to be blinded. How was she supposed to choose?
Almost all of them are animal-shaped mounts, including some ancient mythical beasts such as dragons, phoenixes, and qilin. They come with special effects and are all incredibly cool and have a high-value appearance!
What first caught Bai Mengran's eye were the dragon and the phoenix. These two mounts were radiating golden light, and just by looking at them, one could feel their supreme status.
Alas, this was in ancient times, and dragons and phoenixes had specific symbolic meanings.
Bai Mengran had no choice but to reluctantly give up her love, lest it cause unnecessary misunderstandings...
Just as I was hesitating, the system went online with a "ding".
[Host, I'm triumphant! The negotiation is complete. It's still 10 points, and the Mount System has agreed to give me a two-person mount!]
"You're really something, Tong! You're quite the bargainer, haha, a two-person mount is great!"
For Bai Mengran, riding alone would be a bit boring, but a two-person mount would allow her to bring her friends along, which would be fantastic!
[Hehe, mainly because I had neglected the mount system before, so it agreed as soon as I made a request this time.]
The system smiled smugly. "As expected of it!" (???)
"Commander, what kind of energy does this mount consume for flight? Is it charging or...?"
Oh, by the way, since this mount is not supplied by this system, you have to use spiritual power to fly.
It consumes 10 spirit points per hour. The first time you ride it, you receive 1000 spirit points as a bonus. After that, you'll need to manually recharge your spirit points through the [Mount System].
"That's enough for 100 hours of free flight! This is a sure win! I just wonder if the cost of recharging spiritual energy later will be high?"
Bai Mengran thought to herself, "So these task points are really that valuable in the system's circle. No wonder the little system is so happy to flatter me every day when I'm so eager to complete tasks."
[Not expensive at all, host. 1 system coin equals 1 point of spiritual power, which is equivalent to 10 system coins for 1 hour of flight.]
"Oh, that's perfectly acceptable!"
Bai Mengran was completely satisfied. Now she could finally have her own personal mount and travel without worry. Just thinking about it made her very happy!
【Host, have you chosen your mount yet?】
"Well, let me think about it a little longer..."
When it comes to the appearance of her mount, Bai Mengran still needs to think it over carefully.
She selected the two-person mount illustrations and clicked on each one to test ride it. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to one particular mount...
Huh... [Lucky Koi Mount for Getting Rich]?
"Legend has it that koi carp are auspicious omens, and when they are transformed into mounts, they bring even more blessings."
It symbolizes that wealth will come like a tidal wave, unstoppable.
Riding this mount will bring you blessings from the koi fish, bestowing upon you good fortune and wealth for the day, with ripples of luck spreading wherever you go.
This has a wonderful meaning! It suits her perfectly, and there's even an extra bonus—it's an unexpected delight!
You know, Bai Mengran used to make a wish to get rich every day, afraid that the God of Wealth might accidentally overlook her.
Whenever she gets the chance, she tries to show up in front of the God of Wealth and become a familiar face.
After transmigrating, everything about her life—clothing, food, housing, and transportation—was taken care of by her wealthy young master. She had no worries about food or clothing and enjoyed every meal. As a result, her expectations for getting rich quickly decreased a little.
She feels that her biggest mission right now is to complete system tasks. At present, the task rewards are more attractive to her than making money, but this does not mean that she doesn't love money!
"Lucky Koi" – just by looking at this name, it's no surprise that it's her destined mount!
"Tongbao, I choose this one!"
When she met someone she liked, Bai Mengran acted decisively and stopped hesitating about others.
【Alright, host, I'm going to trade with the Mount System now. I'll be right back!】
Seeing its host so happy, the system was also delighted. It eagerly opened the trade interface with the "Mount System", pre-selected the "Lucky Koi Mount", and pre-paid 10 points, waiting for the other party to agree to the trade.
In less than a second, the other party had completed the delivery, and the transaction was successful.
