Chapter 60 I am riding a white horse and driving on the highway

 Lu Yao chose [Ghost White Horse].

 Same as before. Another [Boulder Totem] returned to the tree, and the Tree of Silvanus turned into countless pixel particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.

 Displayed in the simulator.

　　　【The Tree of Sylvanus fell into a deep sleep. 】

  【The forest is waiting for awakening. Please build a forest cabin to provide forest creatures with further growth. The Sylvanus Tree will once again thank you for its treasures. 】

 Forest cabin?

What is that?

Although Lu Yao wanted to try the newly acquired horse immediately, he still had to follow the order of first come, first served.

 He first scanned the forest and found two tree men.

 The little tree man is not growing very fast. He is only at LV2 now and is still in the early childhood development stage.

 The original tree man already had an additional title of [Soul of the Forest] on his head.

 …

 【Treant LV20】【Soul of the Forest】【Created by Isabel】

 Health: 990/990 (1580/1580)

 Mana: 222/222

  Damage: 20

 Defense: 25

 Speed: 7

  【Forest Elements LV1】

 Forest elemental creatures are beneficial to the rapid growth of the forest, and all attributes in the forest increase. Effects depend on ability level and health.

  【Forest Soul LV1】

 The symbiote of Forest Soul cannot leave the forest, but can heal other forest elemental creatures.

 …

Lu Yao looked at the tree man's panel repeatedly.

It is not a special unit like a hero. It does not have six-dimensional values, only a combat data panel. In other words, tree men belong to the category of monsters.

 The difference from before is that the tree man has become a parasite of the forest soul. It has to stay in the forest and also plays a guest role as a forest druid.

Lu Yao asked Isabel what the forest hut was.

“Sir, the forest cabin is a kind of wonder building belonging to the forest element. It requires the power of miracles from the gods and is cast with the fire of faith.”

Isabel said.

 Spectacle?

That’s okay.

 Lu Yao simply forgot about it.

 He turned to drag the [Ghost White Horse] and threw it to Isabel, asking her to equip it.

 Isabelle immediately gained an extra health bar (200/200) after her health was restored, and her defense and speed were also increased accordingly.

In addition, she has one more ability in her personal panel.

 …

　　【Advanced Camouflage LV5】: Enter the camouflage state and will only be seen through when you get close. If not detected, the first attack will always cause double damage.

 …

After equipping [Ghost White Horse], Isabel's entire image has also changed. She is dressed in black robes, rides a white horse, and her movement speed is greatly increased.

 [Ghost White Horse] is essentially a prop rather than a creature, so the spirit form of the white horse can be turned on and off. However, the bonus still doesn't affect it, it's just a difference in appearance.

 Seeing this, Lu Yao suddenly had an idea.

 I wonder if this horse can be ridden in the real world?

 He tried to drag the [Ghost White Horse] out of the [Sacrifice] slot in the temple.

There is a small white horse sculpture on the computer desk. It is small, just enough to stand in the palm of your hand, but the carving process is very exquisite, and the horse's mane and muscle lines are vividly outlined.

For safety reasons, Lu Yao asked Isabel to come from the temple, change into normal clothes and go out, and accompany him on the road to test the horse.

The locomotive factory dormitory where Lu Yao lived was next to the beltway. Walking a few hundred meters outside, it gradually became deserted.

 This neighborhood was the development direction of urban planning in the early days. However, as compensation for the demolition of old houses could not be reached, the project was shelved in the end, and the city's development focus was completely shifted to the south.

 Old houses are gradually becoming uninhabited, and only some auto repair shops and building materials stores remain here. Various vehicles come and go frequently during the day, but at night it is completely silent with not a few people in sight.

Lu Yao chose this place to test his horse because there were few people there.

He walked to a hidden intersection and looked at Isabel, who was wearing a sweatshirt and sunglasses next to him: "You won't be discovered, right?"

“Sir, advanced camouflage is a very powerful stealth ability. Even the Blood Knight cannot see through it without being approached.”

Lu Yao murmured in his heart.

That's your pixel world, this is the age of technology.

If you are arrested on the spot by the surveillance camera, you will be in huge trouble.

But he was prepared.

Lu Yao pulled up his hood, put on sunglasses and a mask, and asked Isabel next to him to do the same. In this way, even if he is seen, his identity will not be easily exposed.

 When he was ready, he held the statue of the [Ghost White Horse] in his hand and activated the horse form as he thought in his mind.

The white horse stone sculpture exploded into a cloud of white mist, condensing into a tall white horse without a trace of hair.

The ghost white horse has smooth fur and a strong body, about two meters tall. It knelt down on the ground very tamely, but its eyes glowed faintly green, like two will-o'-the-wisps.

Lu Yao took out his mobile phone and pointed the camera at the white horse.

 There is indeed nothing in the lens, and the advanced camouflage cannot be captured by the camera.

Lu Yao and Isabel mounted their horses one after another. He took a selfie with his mobile phone and found that he could only take pictures of empty streets. [Advanced Camouflage] also takes effect on the two horse riders.

The tall ghost white horse straightened up and tapped its front hooves lightly on the ground, as if it was warming up.

Isabel in the front said very thoughtfully: "Sir, you only need to silently recite it in your heart, and the ghost white horse will understand. This is a very useful high-level item."

 “Please hold on to me, the horse is about to run.”

Lu Yao had no place to hold on, so he could only hug Isabel's waist.

Isabel's legs were lightly clamped, and the ghost white horse took a vigorous step and turned into a white afterimage and flew into the street.

The speed of its explosion was far beyond Lu Yao's imagination. The street trees on both sides of the street receded rapidly, and the strong wind poured into Lu Yao's nostrils and lips, making his hood whirr, giving him a sense of speed he had never experienced before.

 He asked as he rode and quickly learned this simple riding technique.

Lu Yao asked Isabel to pull over and stop her horse.

“I want to sit in the front, and you can watch from behind.”

Isabel then made room and sat at the back of the horse, letting Lu Yao control the white horse alone in front.

Lu Yao grabbed the horse's mane and ordered: "Let's go!"

 The white horse turned into an arrow and ran forward.

 Throughout the whole riding process, Lu Yao felt as if he were walking on flat ground while sitting on the horse. There were no bumps or instability in the center of gravity. It even felt a little unreal.

 The wind brought by the high-speed movement blew across his cheeks, stinging a little, making Lu Yao realize that this was not an illusion or a dream.

 The white horse combines speed and agility. It climbed all the way over the stones and railings on the ground, and nimbly jumped over the head of a man on a bicycle - the man didn't notice at all.

 Finally, under the control of Lu Yao, it jumped onto the main road and ran wildly, leaving every small car behind.

The white horse continued to accelerate, rushing onto the beltway and turning into a white light.

Lu Yao drove this horse-shaped supercar and overtook other cars along the way. After racing for half an hour, he rode off the beltway.

 He felt happy but also regretful at the same time.

 Such a good mount can only be ridden once in a while in the middle of the night.

 It is too high-profile and attracts attention from the committee and other players, which is not worth the gain.

Safety first.

 Although shared bicycles are a little slower, they are more in line with the persona of a self-employed worker.

 …

 The next day, the company.

 Because it is the middle of the month, Lu Yao is not very busy today. Boss Huang went to negotiate the contract early in the morning, and everyone in the company started fishing happily.

 Lu Yao finished sorting out the information and reports and wanted to put on the eye mask and squint for a while.

He saw from the corner of his eye that Sister Peng next door had a strange expression.

 She was looking at a photo on her phone.

 The photo shows Fu Chenggang, with Sister Peng next to her making a scissors gesture with a smile on her face.

There are two people standing sideways behind them, choosing a cabbage. It was Lu Yao and Isabel, who was wearing a sweatshirt and sunglasses.

Sister Peng turned her head, her eyes a little confused: "Lu Yao, who... is this person?"

   Thanks to _Qingyi for supporting 300 starting coins.
