Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 1017: Chapter 928: Queen of Terror 24

Riding on the mystical birds is quite simple. Just buy some bird food with money, then appease these birds by feeding them, and you’ll be able to sit on their backs and let them carry you around.

Moreover, these mystical birds can understand human speech, so they must be demon cultivators who have attained intelligence but have yet to take human form. Shuangshuang is increasingly certain that this game is a trial ground created by a large Cultivation Sect to select disciples.

Some major Cultivation Sects have rules that make one’s head ache; they choose you as a disciple without a word and then start testing you immediately—Shuangshuang knows quite a few of such cases.

Especially since the lifespan of cultivators is so long, a single trial lasting hundreds of years is normal. For such grand selection of disciples, Shuangshuang believes it must be a High-level cultivation world’s major sect, especially one that practices unconventional cultivation methods; otherwise, there wouldn’t be the time or need to complicate the selection process like this.

Of course, whether it is a Cultivation Sect selecting disciples or not does not concern Shuangshuang. In this world, she is treating it entirely as a game; she can just leave when she’s had enough fun.

The urgent task now is to buy bird food to feed the birds. The bird food sold here is some kind of unknown meat. Each piece of meat is sliced, weighing about two pounds each, and requires ten points to purchase.

To make the mystical birds willing to transport you, you need to feed at least twenty pieces of meat, which costs two hundred points. This price is enough to make many players who have just entered Player Town feel the pain and choose to return to the game’s rest area instead.

However, Shuangshuang is wealthy, and since these giant birds are so stunning, she loves them too. Without any concern, she bought thirty pieces of meat and fed the giant bird all at once.

Since Shuangshuang gave an extra ten pieces of meat, the giant bird was delighted, lowering its head to nuzzle against Shuangshuang’s face. Despite the bird’s size, its strength is gentle.

After the nuzzling, the bird shook its beautiful feathers that shimmered in the sunlight and gently lay down, with one wing lowered like a ladder in front of Shuangshuang, suggesting she climb up along its wing.

Shuangshuang gracefully climbed onto the giant bird’s back. The bird’s back is vast, comfortable for sitting, lying, or sprawling, and very stable. Without knowing where to go, Shuangshuang instructed the bird to fly to the busiest place, and with a crisp chirp, the bird spread its wings and ascended.

The bird flew smoothly, controlling its speed so it wasn’t too fast, allowing Shuangshuang to observe the scenery on both sides. Flying closer, Shuangshuang saw many bustling people moving around inside the palaces on the nearby peaks, looking lively, and despite the palaces’ grandeur, they were actually commercial establishments.

Some palaces were for shopping, some for lodging, some for dining, and others had juggling, opera, movies, and even amusement parks. The facilities tailored to game players were particularly thrilling.

Shuangshuang watched as dozens of players inside a transparent large sphere were thrown around in the air tens of thousands of meters high, swung with stunts in the sky, as the people inside screamed until their voices broke—sounding extremely chilling—making Shuangshuang dizzy. Seeing the price of twelve hundred points per session, it was entirely about paying money to suffer.

Shuangshuang shook her head, feeling she couldn’t understand these rich people’s thoughts, as she couldn’t bear such thrilling experiences. She patted the giant bird beneath her, urging it to quickly move away from the amusement park, lest that big ball out of control come crashing in.

Shuangshuang stopped at a huge palace that occupied the entire mountain top, which turned out to be a specialty hotel; she could smell the delicious fragrance wafting from afar.

In front of each palace on the peaks, there are platforms at least big enough for ten giant birds to rest, as traveling between the peaks inevitably requires riding the giant birds.

Indeed, giant birds are an essential mode of transport here. Living in this Player Town for a day would incur unknown costs just in points spent feeding the birds, and it’s fortunate that Shuangshuang is wealthy enough to afford it.

Shuangshuang jumped off the bird’s back and casually took out a piece of insect meat from her space to feed the bird—a giant, nearly six-meter-long, white plump insect.

Shuangshuang has such a large stockpile of three kinds of tasty insects—a clawed worm’s pincers, a big white worm, and a black worm—that she herself doesn’t know how many are stored within her space.

Anyway, while in the task world, Shuangshuang continuously stuffed these three types of insects into her space daily. With Shuangshuang’s insect-killing rate, in twenty years, one can only imagine how many insects would be stored in her space.

Finding the giant bird adorable, Shuangshuang thought birds loved eating insects, and since she had plenty, she pulled out a big white worm as a snack for the giant bird.

Freshly retrieved from her space, the white worm was plump, almost matching the size of the bird, instantly drawing the bird’s gaze.

The worm’s size was enough to last the bird a long time, and as Shuangshuang expected, insects indeed had a great allure to birds. Upon its release, not only did the giant bird transporting Shuangshuang get excited, but the few nearby giant birds were also attracted.

These giant birds, however, didn’t fight each other; although the other birds eyed the worm greedily, they refrained from snatching, instead beginning to ingratiate themselves to the bird with Shuangshuang. This bird was generous and invited other birds to taste the worm together.

The platform is large enough for four or five giant birds, with one worm being enough for a meal altogether; no need to worry about leaving leftover worm meat becoming stale.

By the palace doors, special attendants welcomed guests, divided by gender standing on each side of the grand entranceway dressed to complement the palace’s architecture: the male attendants like ancient noblemen, the female attendants like ancient noble ladies.

Both male and female attendants looked attractive, as they stood before the gate comparable to the Imperial Palace entrance, making them a delight to behold. As guests arrived, male attendants greeted female guests while female attendants catered to male guests—this hospitality method openly employed charm to entice.

As Shuangshuang alighted from the giant bird, a graceful, sharp-dressed young man attendant in deep blue traditional garb approached her to lead the way, saying, ”Welcome, beautiful lady, please come inside. May I know if you are here to dine or to lodge?”

Shuangshuang only noticed the enticing fragrance, assuming this was merely a dining establishment, not expecting accommodations as well. Considering how this palace dominates the mountain peak, larger and more luxurious than any other, solely dining here would indeed feel a little wasteful.
