80: Lao Liu Riding Skills Training Instructor

Speaking of this method, the inspiration came from Gedo the Great King.

Back then, Gedo the Great King was afraid of being killed by Qin Tian, so he not only surrendered directly.

He even took out an energy orb that could increase experience and gave it to Qin Tian.

After using this energy orb, one could directly gain the same experience as if they had normally killed Gedo the Great King.

The same was true when killing the Evil God in Sakura Country.

Although the Evil God took out a black energy orb, it could also increase experience.

Qin Tian didn't know if anyone else knew about this information.

However, even if there were, they probably wouldn't do it.

Because it was too much trouble.

And it also required the strength to completely overpower the BOSS.

For ordinary teams, just killing a BOSS was already very difficult.

Moreover, when a BOSS was low on health, it would often enter a berserk state.

One had to be extremely focused to deal with it; a slight mistake could lead to a team wipe, making it impossible to negotiate with the BOSS.

Furthermore, BOSSes also had their dignity and would not yield to the weak.

Unless their strength was completely overwhelming.

Like Gedo the Great King, who was so beaten that he had nightmares at night.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have surrendered.

And for high-level players, obtaining experience orbs from low-level BOSSes was even more thankless.

Without a level suppression of at least 30 levels.

Without a set of super-excellent equipment.

It was simply impossible to overpower a normal BOSS.

But if the level difference was so great, even if an experience orb was obtained, not much experience would be gained from using it.

As for letting others use it, in that amount of time, one could directly bring people to level up several times.

So even if they knew, it didn't have much value.

Unless it was like Qin Tian, who possessed the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent.

After killing the Evil God, his talent upgraded again.

Now it was a ten-thousand-fold experience gain.

One BOSS's energy orb could directly produce the effect of ten thousand.

After using it, it was equivalent to directly killing ten thousand BOSSes.

Moreover, because experience was gained instantly, there was no experience decay when using energy orbs not lower than one's own level.

It was a true ten thousand-fold increase.

And even if there was decay later, under the ten thousand-fold amplification, a huge amount of experience could still be obtained.

Putting everything else aside, it was very easy for Qin Tian to level up to 150.

Others were level 149, Qin Tian was level 150.

It looked like only a one-level difference.

But in reality, it was a tier difference.

Level 149 was Tier 2; only by reaching level 150 would one be Tier 3.

Tier 3 and Tier 2 had a direct two-fold difference in attributes.

And equipment bonuses also showed a huge disparity.

The strength of the two was simply not on the same level.

This was the importance of levels, and it became even more so in the later stages.

Levels became increasingly difficult to raise, but the gap between each level also grew larger and larger.

Leveling up is hard!

But to become stronger, one must level up!

Qin Tian rode Meow Le Ge Mi and walked towards the direction of the Mount Trainer.

Although he didn't have the Riding skill, Qin Tian could still ride Meow Le Ge Mi and Jianguo.

But that was because Qin Tian was their master, and these two pets were relatively special, large enough in size, and very intelligent.

This was not true riding in the actual sense, but more like Qin Tian sitting on them and the pets carrying him forward.

Take riding Meow Le Ge Mi now, for example.

Qin Tian communicated with it through the pet system, telling it where to go, and then Meow Le Ge Mi carried Qin Tian there.

The Riding skill, on the other hand, was a kind of control through the mount system.

It could establish a special connection between the master and the mount.

At that time, Qin Tian could directly control Meow Le Ge Mi to move forward without needing to issue commands.

It was similar to the legendary unity of man and vehicle.

In this way, when riding a mount, one could better handle unexpected situations.

To avoid situations like falling off the mount without the mount even knowing.

"Young man, I have two skills here, Basic Riding and Advanced Riding. Which one do you want to learn?"

Ma Huo, the Riding Skill Trainer, looked at Qin Tian.

He had a kind smile on his face, which, combined with his graying hair, made him appear even more approachable.

"The advanced one. How much is it?"

"Good lad, you know your stuff. Although both increase mount movement speed by the same amount, the advanced one can help you better tame mounts."

"It's originally one hundred gold coins, but since I like you, I'll give you a twenty percent discount. Just give me eighty gold coins."

Qin Tian didn't hesitate and directly pulled out eighty gold coins from his coin pouch, giving them to Ma Huo, the Mount Trainer.

Ma Huo took the gold coins, and the smile on his face bloomed even brighter. He hadn't expected Qin Tian to be so straightforward.

A blue skill book was taken out by Ma Huo and handed directly to Qin Tian.

It was precisely the skill to control mounts, Advanced Riding.

Qin Tian took the skill book from Ma Huo's hand and learned it directly. Advanced Riding also appeared in his skill list.

Summoning Meow Le Ge Mi, Qin Tian directly rode on it, and the Advanced Riding skill took effect.

Qin Tian felt that Meow Le Ge Mi was now integrated with him, as if it were an extension of his body.

Like an arm to be commanded, with just a thought, he could gallop freely.

"Advanced Riding used successfully. Gained 2,000,000 skill experience points. Skill level increased to 30. Mount movement speed increased by 20%. Skill level is maxed."

The Billion-Fold Upgrade talent took effect again. Qin Tian only used it once, and Advanced Riding directly reached max level.

"Master Ma, I was wrong, I really should have listened to you. I still need to use Advanced Riding. Please quickly give me the Advanced Riding skill book. Here are eighty gold coins."

In front of Ma Huo appeared a man who had fallen face-first into the dirt, wiping his snot and tears, and handing a bag of gold coins to Ma Huo.

"Wouldn't it have been better to listen to me earlier? You wasted twenty gold coins for nothing."

Ma Huo took the gold coins, and with a look of regret, pulled out a blue skill book from his embrace and handed it over.

"Thank you, Master Ma."

The man happily took it, immediately learned it, and then walked towards a warhorse nearby.

"Old customer, old customer."

Ma Huo saw Qin Tian, who hadn't left yet, and explained with a smile.

Qin Tian didn't care about this but looked at the man who was once again riding the warhorse with some curiosity.

He wanted to see if this Advanced Riding skill could increase the success rate of taming mounts, as Ma Huo had claimed.

After all, the skill description didn't say so, and it could only be proven through experimentation.

And what was before him was the best data.

"Master Ma, I succeeded! I succeeded!"

The man on the warhorse shouted excitedly.

Although he had been covered in dirt earlier, he instantly became high-spirited.

Ma Huo showed a smug expression and looked at Qin Tian:

"I didn't lie to you, did I? This is the power of the Advanced Riding skill. Your money wasn't wasted."

Qin Tian frowned slightly, dismounted from Meow Le Ge Mi, and walked towards Ma Huo with an unfriendly expression.

He discovered that this old trickster had actually lied to him.

That Advanced Riding skill couldn't increase the success rate of taming mounts at all!
