Chapter 359: Chapter 359: The Silent Arrow
“Why would you choose this thing?” The queen furrowed her brows slightly, “We have all other kinds of trainers here, but this one…”

Li Yao understood the queen’s meaning. Clearly, she, like other High Elves, didn’t particularly like goblins, so even though there was this machine car, they hadn’t invited a goblin over.

“No need for that, I can drive it myself.”

Joking aside, in his previous life, Li Yao was an owner of a super mechanical roadshow player. If he couldn’t even drive this kind of a car, then what was the point of playing at all.

“Suit yourself, anyway, the attribute bonus is insignificant. We’ll wait until you can get a high-level mount before we talk about attributes.” The queen said indifferently.

As Li Yao packed up the Mechanical City, he followed behind the queen and said, “Ahe… now that I’ve accomplished the task, can I get some rewards in advance?”

“Of course, your rewards won’t be less. Here is a list, you can have your subordinates purchase what you need. As for you, you also completed the second task, the third one, I hope you won’t disappoint me.” The queen said calmly.

“Definitely not, I will complete the third task as soon as possible.” Li Yao promised. At the same time, a prompt popped up notifying him that he had successfully completed a task, and his experience points increased significantly.

“Don’t rush, haste makes waste. Arranging your equipment and guild’s headquarters properly is crucial in the game. Maintain a steady pace or else any setbacks could disrupt your focus. Despite you being my successor, I won’t be able to assist you with guild matters; it’s all up to you.”

“I understand, I promise not to disappoint you, your majesty.” Li Yao assured, puffing out his chest – now was not the time to back down.

“I hope so, you may leave now.” The Queen threw a bead glowing with gray light to Li Yao and entered the hall.

Li Yao took the bead and slowly left the Royal District.

Silence Arrow: Shoots a silence arrow that affects enemies within a 15*15-yard range, preventing them from casting spells. Lasts for 3 seconds, with a cooldown time of 20 seconds.

The Silence Arrow is another unique skill of the Dark Ranger. Because it’s a powerful skill that not only confounds enemies within range, but also shuts down spell casting in the affected area, essentially interrupting their skills.

Li Yao quickly learned the Silence Arrow skill, he was extremely satisfied. The introduction of the Silence Arrow in his combo skills would be a nightmare for all players.

This type of silence is different from ordinary spell countermeasures. It can silence certain spells and skills. The addition of a Silence Arrow can significantly increase the Dark Ranger’s combat effectiveness when facing enemies.

Having learnt a new skill and gotten a mount, Li Yao was in high spirits.

He summoned the machine car and got in right away. And off he went, leaving behind a trail of smoke.

People along the way looked at him with envy and jealousy. Soon, screenshots of Li Yao driving the machine car were posted in the forum. Li Yao was at his peak popularity, and the news garnered significant attention leaving a trail of jealous comments.

In their view, Li Yao must have completed a hundred challenges before obtaining the colorful gift pack containing the mount.

The claim that the mount came out of the gift pack spread rapidly, probably started by who knows who. Anyway, because of Li Yao’s flashy appearance, he not only advertised for the Starfire guild but also promoted the arena. Many people began to fervently compete in the ladder matches to earn more gift packs to get a chance to win their own mounts.

While driving, Li Yao attracted so many eyes that even the guild’s elders used the Hearthstone to return to the city and inspect his machine car.

In particular, Dumb Dumb clung to Li Yao, persuading him to take her for a ride around the main city. It had been a long time before she reluctantly got off. The mount became a new topic of discussion and lots of players became extremely envious, madly searching for ways to get a mount of their own.

“What are you planning to do in the next few days?” Li Jie asked as she got off the car. She had also tried it and said that the maglev car was not as thrilling as the machine car.

Dumb-Dumb suggested, “Why don’t you level up with us?”

Li Yao shook his head, “I can’t. I need some blueprints. I want to finish these tasks before the guild’s headquarters are established. By then, I guess we’ll all be rushing for level 20.”

“In that case,” Li Jie said, “Keep up your publicity, so players won’t forget about you. Participate in more boss fights and get some first-kills.”

“Alright, I’ll try my best.” Li Yao nodded in agreement.

Li Jie put a map next to Li Yao and said, “Take a look. I have marked some places as possible guild headquarters. Each place has unique advantages. After much consideration, I still find it hard to decide.”

“Li Jie, your efficiency is remarkable.” Li Yao complimented while examining the map.

“Stop that.” Li Jie pointed at a marked circle on the map and said, “Look at this, it’s a valley. It’s a decent-sized place suitable for headquarters. But, it’s difficult to access without mountain roads. If we choose this place, constructing a mountain road would be a long process and a huge expense. But if we manage to build a city, it could easily be defended and tough to attack, much like Eagle Nest Mountain.”

Li Yao nodded, “The valley seems like a good place for headquarters, but it’s not feasible. The valley is full of sky-blue flowers. These flowers are poisonous and release poison fog every morning. The flowers are ubiquitous and indestructible, moreover, they are the source of food for the flame ants and the giant poisoned bees. Although it seems tranquil, it’s actually extremely dangerous. It’s impossible for us to settle here at this point.”

“I see. Given it’s so near to the werewolves’ territory where level-30 characters roam, I was quite hesitant about it. Since it’s like that, let’s eliminate this location.” Li Jie quickly crossed off the location on the map before pointing to another location, “Then there’s this place, a forest of stone spires. Many large stone columns, if we link them with floating bridges like in the Tauren’s main city, we can turn it into a cliff city.”

Li Yao shook his head, “No, that won’t work. Even if we build a cliff city that’s easy to defend but hard to attack, these stone columns are unstable. Conned with the high winds and barren earth, it’s not conducive to the development of the guild.”

“Ahh, that’s the downside of this place.” Li Jie didn’t get upset because Li Yao rejected her suggestions. She continued excitedly, “And there’s here, a small island nearby the coast, reachable by a small boat.”

“That still won’t work.” Li Yao said, “The island isn’t very large and can easily be encircled by ships, especially pirates. If they find out about such a place, it would sure to bring continuous trouble.”

“Hmm, so, I’ve been hesitant and unable to find a suitable place,” sighed Li Jie.

Li Yao pointed to a location, saying, “What about this place?”

“Here?” Li Jie frowned…

ps: Heading back home today. It’s a boring and long trip.
