Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 64 - 62: Mount – Golden-winged Heaven-Swallowing Tiger!

Chapter 64: Chapter 62: Mount – Golden-winged Heaven-Swallowing Tiger!

The sales assistant covered their mouth and whispered, "You’re Su Mo, the top scorer of the college entrance exam!"

Su Mo nodded, "Yes, I want to use my points to purchase these items."

"Please wait a moment, I don’t have the authority to deduct your points. I’ll call the president for you right away."

After saying that, he eagerly arranged for Su Mo to sit in a private room and began to report the news of Su Mo’s arrival up the chain.

In just a moment, a golden light appeared at the entrance of the guild, and an old man with white hair slowly walked out from it.

This person was the guild manager whom Su Mo had met once before in the Ten-Mile Slope dungeon.

Back then, when Su Mo was selling things, he raised the price by 50% for him.

In the private room, the sales assistant was still diligently pouring tea for Su Mo and Su Yu, carefully attending to them.

After all, he was the top scorer of the college entrance exam!

Although there’s a top scorer every year, the entire Celestial City, not to mention the whole southwest region, hadn’t seen one in years.

And this top scorer was different from those of previous years.

He awakened less than 10 days ago and defeated a large number of aristocratic children, leading all the students of Celestial City High School to victory in the district exam, allowing over 200 students to advance.

He later went on to become this year’s top scorer and caught the eye of a Divine Level expert who took him as a disciple.

These achievements, no matter which one is singled out, are unbelievable on their own, yet Su Mo achieved them all single-handedly.

How could such a person not be awe-inspiring?

[Knock knock knock]

Amidst a series of knocks, the guild manager walked in with a big smile, looking at Su Mo and said, "Mo, it’s you! When I first saw you at Ten-Mile Slope, I knew you were destined for greatness.

I didn’t expect that in just one exam, you would soar like a dragon, truly a phoenix among men."

Su Mo also stood up at this moment, addressing the guild manager, "Hello, Chairman Li. Here’s the situation, I want to buy some items, but I don’t have enough money, so I plan to use points for the purchase. What do you think?"

The guild manager quickly waved his hand, "Oh, you’re so formal. Just call me Old Li.

And since they’ve already informed me, if I call you Mo, I hope you don’t mind."

Chairman Li paused here and gave Su Mo a friendly look.

"Not at all, everyone calls me Mo, feel free."

Chairman Li nodded with a smile, stroking his gray beard, "Mo, you might not fully understand the value of these points.

Normally, one point can be exchanged for 1,000 Great Xia coins, but that’s just the official rate. On the black market, a point can fetch anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 Great Xia coins.

The most important thing is that many items can’t be bought with money. Every year, the top scorer is usually someone from a prominent family.

Their points are typically handed over to the family for transactions with the state or other powers, so do you still want to exchange points?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo fell silent. At home, it was just him and his sister, living quite comfortably.

Whenever they needed something, they would just buy it if they had the money. But according to Old Li, these points are not only hard to earn but also necessary for many exchanges.

Before Su Mo could think it through, Chairman Li cheerfully continued, "What’s there to think about? You just want a mount, right? Take it, it’s just under a billion. I’ll make it happen."

Hearing this, Su Mo almost dropped his jaw in shock.

He couldn’t believe it: is that something people usually say?

Saying "just under a billion."

Do you really think a billion coins are like roadside grass, just lying around?

However, Su Mo quickly realized that the kindness wasn’t directed at him, but at his esteemed mentor behind him.

If it were under normal circumstances, even as the top scorer, Old Li might have just offered a discount, and not necessarily a big one.

But with a god standing behind him, the situation was entirely different.

No need to overthink—Old Li’s sudden kindness surely had a motive.

With the other’s Golden Boss strength, they unlikely needed anything from him. It had to be his mentor they were after.

Su Mo thought for a moment; he had 431,000 points, and even at the official rate of 1,000 Great Xia coins per point, he had over 4.3 billion coins.

But just imagining that a single mount would cost nearly a billion made him feel that even 4.3 billion seemed inadequate.

After all, Chairman Li had helped him before. If he wanted his mentor’s assistance, he might as well help him out.

With this thought, Su Mo nodded, "Thank you very much, Chairman Li."

"Hahaha, didn’t I say you could call me Old Li, not Chairman, geez.

Come on, since you’re here at our Great Xia Guild, no need to rush off, how about a few drinks with an old man?"

Su Mo shook his head, pointing to Su Yu, "No, thanks. I still need to help my sister with leveling, so I’ll take the mount and be on my way. When can it be delivered?"

"If that’s the case, I won’t keep you. Come on, I’ll take you to get the mount directly. I’ll have the other items sent over to you."

Saying that, Old Li headed towards the door first. At the entrance, he spoke a few words to the other sales assistants, who then began packing up all the items Su Mo had purchased earlier. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

A moment later, Su Mo followed Old Li to a giant breeding ground divided into huge enclosures.

Each enclosure was made of high-grade materials, and even the smallest was about the size of Su Mo’s home.

This made Su Mo marvel at how the wealthy lived.

Even a single mount could live in such luxury.

And no wonder, given that these mounts easily cost tens of millions each—hard for the average person to afford.

Soon, Chairman Li stopped at an enclosure and used his fingerprint to open the iron door.

[Roar!]

As the iron door opened, a roar filled the air dominantly.

Su Mo looked inside and saw a three-meter-high, striped fierce tiger with snow-white wings roaring at them with its mouth wide open.

Its sharp teeth were nearly 30 centimeters long, and the king-shaped pattern on its forehead unequivocally declared its status as the King of Beasts.

Just one look captivated Su Mo completely.

This was far more impressive than any illustration.

He couldn’t help but get fired up imagining himself riding it, wielding the Heaven-piercing Halberd, taking down Golden Bosses with a single blow.

A true man should have such a mount!

"So, what do you think, do you like this mount?"
