National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

Shen Nan sat on the cushions in the hall, drinking fragrant milk tea while looking out the window from time to time. His mind was still recalling the giant bird he had just seen. At the same time, he had to rack his brains to deal with the various enthusiastic "greetings" from the manager.

Rad stood behind Shen Nan, staring at the delicious food on the table, swallowing his saliva from time to time.

I originally thought I would have to wait three or two hours, and was thinking about how to pass the time, but after only about half an hour, the knight riding the giant bird came back.

He turned over and jumped off the giant bird's back, striding into the hall.

After seeing Shen Nan, he nodded slightly, then turned to the manager and said loudly: "The mission has been confirmed. What you said is true. The hobbit nest has been completely cleared out. No one survived."

When the manager heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He immediately turned to Shen Nan and said, "Sir, the mission has been confirmed. You can collect your reward now."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Shen Nan respectfully with both hands, "This is your mission reward, please check it."

Shen Nan's eyes fell on the exquisite cloth bag, and he guessed in his heart that this should be a large cloth bag that can hold more things than a small cloth bag?

He stood up and took the cloth bag.

When he opened the cloth bag, Shen Nan's eyes lit up instantly.

Sure enough, this cloth bag not only contained 10 gold coins, but also had a space capacity of cubic meters, which was times larger than the space of a small cloth bag!

Shen Nan felt envious for a moment, but soon sighed.

This isn't his after all...

He could only transfer all the gold coins in the cloth bag to his own small cloth bag with a painful heart.

After the gold coins were transferred, Shen Nan returned the cloth bag to the manager and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. Now that the commission has been settled, we will take our leave." Then he took Rad away from the City Lord's Mansion.

On the way to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Nan's attention was once again attracted by the giant bird that had not been taken away.

It stood quietly in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, with its huge wings slightly folded, showing a majestic aura.

Shen Nan's mind moved, and he quickly used the "Insight" skill to check the information of the giant bird.

[Strange Beast: Cormorant Bird]

Rating: 8

Attribute: Wind

Description: It has a docile personality, a large physique, and is extremely fast in flight. When it is young, it is often captured and sold by mercenaries to be used as a flying mount.

Abilities: Wind Wings (increases flight speed), Wind Shield (resists some damage)

"A flying mount?!" Shen Nan exclaimed inwardly, this giant bird was indeed not simple.

I immediately made up my mind that I must own a mount like this!

With it, you no longer have to travel long distances to complete tasks.

Moreover, you can directly ride on the giant bird Cormorant's Breath and fly in the sky to search for enemy lords, which is much faster than traveling on your own two feet!

Although up to now, he has always relied on Fanfan to get him going...

But having a flying mount will undoubtedly make his actions more efficient.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Shen Nan immediately asked Rad about the situation of the Wanfeng City trading market.

Rad replied, "There are two trading markets in Wanfeng City. One is where ordinary people sell food and daily necessities. It's just east of the city gate."

"The other is a market that specializes in selling weapons and materials for knights and magicians. It's located in the center of Wanfeng City. Where would you like to go?"

"Then where are the exotic beasts sold?" Shen Nan asked.

"Also in the central area," Rad replied.

Shen Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the central area first."

He planned to go there first to see if there were any Cormorant's Breath Birds and magic bags for sale, and then go to the east side of the city gate to buy some food and spices.

With something on his mind, Shen Nan had no intention of appreciating this exotic city and was focused on walking towards the central area.

The City Lord's Mansion was in the central area, so the two of them arrived at the trading market in the central area not long after walking.

In the trading street in the central area, Shen Nan saw at a glance many people wearing armor or cloaks shopping in various stores.

He looked around at each shop and was soon attracted by a shop with a sign that read "Strange Beast Pavilion". He walked in without hesitation.

As soon as I entered, a neatly dressed clerk quickly approached with a warm smile on his face. He said, "Hello, sir! Welcome to the Exotic Beast Pavilion. We have a wide variety of animals here, from exotic beasts for battle to mounts for daily riding and adorable pets for home. What would you like to buy?"

Shen Nan glanced at the somewhat empty layout of the store, but the display cabinets were filled with spherical objects and asked directly, "Do you have any flying mounts?"

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, sir. We have a variety of giant birds that can be ridden, and each has its own unique advantages. Let me introduce them to you."

As he spoke, he took out an object similar to the Poké Ball from under the counter and handed it to Shen Nan, saying, "This is the Windwing Giant Bird. It flies very fast and is very suitable for rapid movement and reconnaissance missions. However, it is relatively small in size and has weak combat capabilities. Also, the weight of the person riding cannot exceed 150 kilograms, otherwise there will be a risk of slowing down or even falling from a high altitude."

Shen Nan took the ball and used the "Insight" skill to check it while listening to the waiter's introduction.

【Temporary Space Ball】

Introduction: A space ball used to temporarily store strange beasts.

Note: Do not keep the alien beast in the space ball for a long time, otherwise the alien beast's body will show different degrees of abnormality, and severe cases may lead to the death of the alien beast. The longest storage time shall not exceed 24 hours.

Shen Nan probed his consciousness into the space ball like using a magic bag, and immediately a scene of a giant wind-winged bird resting inside appeared before his eyes.

Its body is covered with smooth gray feathers, and the edges of its wings have a hint of silver. Although its body is not large, its lines are smooth, giving people a feeling of lightness and agility.

[Strange Beast: Wind-winged Giant Bird]

Attribute: Wind

Description: This aircraft is gentle, lightweight, and extremely fast. It's suitable for rapid movement and reconnaissance missions. The weight of the passenger must not exceed 150 catties, otherwise the aircraft will slow down or even fall from a height.

Abilities: Wind Wings (increases flight speed), Wind Agility (increases flight flexibility, allowing it to quickly dodge attacks in the air), Light Feather Body (reduces its own weight, further improving flight performance, but with limited carrying capacity).

Then, the waiter took out another ball from under the counter and handed it to Shen Nan, continuing, "This is the Steel-Winged Giant Bird. Its feathers are as hard as steel and can withstand a certain degree of attack. Although its flying speed is not as fast as the Wind-Winged Giant Bird, it performs very well in aerial combat and can serve as your combat mount."

Shen Nan took the ball and used the "Insight" skill to check it again.

[Strange Beast: Giant Steel-Feathered Bird]

Attribute: Wind

Introduction: It has a tough character and feathers as hard as steel, which can withstand a certain degree of attack. Its flying speed is moderate, but it performs well in aerial combat, making it suitable as a combat mount.

Abilities: Steel Feather Shield (feathers as hard as steel), Wind Power (capable of powerful dive attacks)

"This is a giant bird with colorful feathers. It has a moderate flying speed, but its combat ability is relatively weak. However, its feathers are brilliantly colored, and it is very spectacular when flying. It is a very popular ornamental mount among noble young masters and young ladies."

Shen Nan listened carefully to the waiter's introduction while carefully checking the information of each species of giant bird.

The guy introduced seven or eight species of giant birds, each with its own unique characteristics and abilities.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons of various giant birds in his mind, Shen Nan's eyes fell on the introduction of the Wind Wing Giant Bird and asked, "How much is the Wind Wing Giant Bird?"
