Chapter 226: A Small Test, Ignoring Debuffs

Kamiyu thought to herself, holding the reins allows for telepathic control—isn’t this just brainwave manipulation? With this, she could perform incredibly exaggerated aerial maneuvers. Relying solely on imagination, she could fly just like a pilot, or even better. The tools from Crimson Earth were truly impressive.

She lightly tapped the ground with one foot and leaped onto the saddle of the horse, saying, “Jack, get on.”

Jack noticed that Kamiyu was sitting in the front position and frowned. She wanted him to sit behind her.

“No wonder,” he thought. “Her arms are so short, of course she can’t wrap them around my waist. If she sat behind me, she’d likely be thrown off. The only way she won’t fall is if I sit behind her and act as her support.”

“What are you hesitating for? Hurry up and get on. We need to head to the five major mines to harvest Enhancement Points and Magic Crystal Ore, and test the power of this new vehicle while we’re at it.” Kamiyu patted the saddle behind her.

Although the Skill Affix “Warp Flash” was her secret weapon, an Ultimate Skill she couldn’t reveal prematurely to avoid other Ability Users catching on and preparing for it, the attribute affix that added 200% electric Attack Power would grant her even greater offensive and destructive capabilities.

Simply riding the horse would give her this 200% electric Attack Power Buff effect—it was almost too good to be true.

Jack, of course, didn’t dare to jump on as boldly as Kamiyu did. He was afraid his weight might crush the Royal Pegasus. Instead, he learned on the spot under Li Changde’s guidance and figured out how to mount the horse properly.

“Are you driving, or am I?” Jack asked.

“You drive, of course. I need to set up my weapon.” Kamiyu took out her Dark Gold Staff Chaos Voice.

Fortunately, with her spatial backpack, when Kamiyu needed to turn from the front to aim to the right, she could first store the staff in her backpack, twist her waist to turn around, and then take it out again.

By now, Jack had firmly grasped the reins of the Royal Pegasus. At that moment, he felt as if he had merged with the Flying Horse. Moving forward, backward, left, or right felt incredibly smooth. The Royal Pegasus moved entirely according to his will, and his vision had even shifted to that of the Royal Pegasus.

“Hmm, this feels a bit strange,” Jack said, his face slightly pale. “I feel a little nauseous.”

“Hey, last time you got snot in my hair. This time, don’t you dare vomit on my head. I’m scared.” Kamiyu couldn’t help but shudder.

Their conversation made the people around them burst into laughter.

Li Changde also chimed in, “That’s how it is when you first ‘control’ a Flying Vehicle Aberrant Beast. You’ll get used to it.”

After a few minutes of adjustment, Jack said, “I get it now. I just need to treat this Flying Horse like a helicopter.”

“And I don’t think you need to go through all that trouble. Just say left, right, forward, backward, up, or down. Keep aiming forward, and I’ll adjust the direction.”

As soon as Kamiyu heard “helicopter,” she immediately recalled the scene from the Black Sphere life-and-death game where Jack crashed a helicopter into her. “Oh no, if he’s the one driving, I’m a little scared.”

With that, Kamiyu also attached the spare reins to her waist, just in case Jack decided to do something reckless.

“Alright, let’s take off,” Jack announced confidently once he had gotten used to it.

“Clip-clop, clip-clop.” The winged Royal Pegasus took off from its spot, its hooves treading on empty air and tapping out bursts of white-gold Magic Circles.

The flapping of its wings, like the meteor trails behind its tail, were all Skin effects. This was a Flying Vehicle Aberrant Beast, a type of prop, and of course, it relied on Magic Circles to fly. If it flew using its wings, it would have to be a Beastmaster’s contracted creature.

The Flying Horse, along with the two of them, “whooshed” away.

“So fast.”

“Guild Leader, the speed of this Flying Horse far exceeds its original level,” Wu Yong measured from the side.

“This is Miss Kamiyu’s miraculous ability. Hurry to the Black Sphere Room and notify the frontline not to accidentally harm Miss Kamiyu,” Li Changde ordered.

“Yes, sir.” Wu Yong immediately contacted the Black Sphere Room in the apartment building.

“Wait, their speed… I estimate even the first Small Squad that set out earliest hasn’t arrived yet,” Li Changde speculated about the others’ speed. The speed of War Horses on the ground simply couldn’t compare to flying Aberrant Beast vehicles.

At the nearest Mine Dungeon—Fountain Square—sure enough, none of their own people had arrived yet. Only the dead, silent Aerial Roots of the Fear Emperor Tree surrounded the area. Kamiyu had no choice but to have Jack lower their altitude so she could start clearing the Instance Dungeon first.

“Pull it straight to the maximum.” Kamiyu didn’t dismount the horse but used her toes to operate on the dungeon difficulty control platform.

“How are your feet so nimble?” Jack widened his eyes.

“Don’t get any weird ideas.” Kamiyu gave Jack a light elbow jab while adjusting the difficulty with her toes. The overall difficulty was set to the highest Torment Tier, with the local difficulty being Dungeon Boss plus 300% Attack Power, and Players’ Movement Speed reduced by 300%.

“You’re crazy. Reducing Movement Speed by 300% basically means being Immobilized and unable to move. Even the effect of the Skate Shoes you gave me would be canceled out,” Jack said.

“We’re flying in the sky, what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, the Flying Horse is a Flying Vehicle, not the Players themselves. And Dunzi over there has also created a new playstyle—using Earth Element Skills to build a high platform in the middle of the dungeon area. Everyone stands on the platform and frantically throws Ranged Skills at the Aberrant Beast Demons on the ground,” Kamiyu explained.

Jack’s eyes widened. You could play like that? These people’s imaginations were truly limitless.

Soon, hundreds of level 45 “Trash Mob” Steel-Blade Poison Spiders appeared in the square. Jack hurriedly pulled the Flying Horse higher.

“Only 5 or 600? The mineral output here isn’t as good as over at the Stadium with Dunzi,” Kamiyu squinted, looking down through the Scope.

“Hey, don’t fly so fast.” This time, it was Kamiyu’s turn to feel a bit nauseous.

She entered “Angel Mode.” When she was flying herself, she wouldn’t look through the Scope.

“Oh, oh, sorry. But the flying speed really is like you said, it hasn’t decreased,” Jack said with pleasant surprise.

“So, aren’t you going to Attack? If not, they’ll scatter,” Jack didn’t stay happy for long before asking.

“Can’t you draw aggro? Hurry up and call out,” Kamiyu said impatiently.

“Do you think I’m a dog? ‘Call out,'” Jack snorted through his nose.

“Next time, I’ll have to bring a loudspeaker. At this altitude, we’re outside Skill range,” Jack lowered their altitude.

“Do you want me to get you a square dance speaker?” Kamiyu retorted.

Jack was taken aback for a moment, but still shouted with utmost professionalism, “Taunting Shout.”

With a “whoosh,” the previously scattered Steel-Blade Poison Spiders were instantly pulled back by Jack’s Taunt Skill.

“Well done.” Kamiyu didn’t even need to aim—she simply lowered the muzzle of her gun.

Load: Thunderstorm Bullet. Select: Arc Splash. Stack: Curving Bullet.

Choose Core Skill: Hammer of the Thunder God.

Pull the trigger.

With a “boom,” the thunderclap followed the flash of lightning, as six electric attacks resembling the Hammer of the Thunder God struck the ground directly, scattering into 36 lotus-like beams of light.

The Aberrant Beasts touched by the electric arcs were instantly reduced to charred remains.

【Ding, obtained 754 Enhancement Points.】

“Cool.”
