"Looks like I'll need to start disguising myself in the future. Just clearing a simple dungeon has already made me the subject of discussion. If I tackle a more challenging one, won't I become a trending topic?"

Despite nothing from the real world being exposed in the discussions about him, Wang Zhifan felt somewhat uncomfortable about it. He wasn't keen on becoming a public figure as he disliked being constantly scrutinized. Thus, he decided to be more careful and use disguises when raiding dungeons from now on.

After browsing the forums, Wang Zhifan finally figured out the equipment selling issue he had been pondering. He realized that buying a villa for cultivating the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion was more important. So, he decided not to wait for higher offers. He immediately began switching between different IPs and accounts to proactively contact those buyers who had made the highest offers, inquiring if they could complete the transaction soon.

What followed was a fairly procedural communication process. Wang Zhifan contacted potential buyers one by one, obtained their private contact information outside the player forum, and communicated privately to confirm their real purchasing intentions, as well as the time, place, and contact person for the transaction.

During these negotiations, his offer to deliver items and verify them on the same day, allowing buyers to choose the transaction environment, made his propositions quite appealing. After all, who wouldn't appreciate such thoughtful home delivery service?

Just an hour later, without sticking to specific pricing, Wang Zhifan smoothly confirmed two transactions. Specifically, they were for the most popular items he was selling: the Rare Elite Rifle and the Giant Tree-man Seed.

The Rare Elite Rifle received an offer of 5.7 million, a sought-after high-grade firearm attracting bids not only from shooter-type players but also from many others with different class interests.

The Giant Tree-man Seed, a summoning class specialty, had a slightly lower offer at exactly 5 million. However, this was already a decent price, given that the summoning class wasn't as populous as the shooter class, though there seemed to be a fair number of wealthy players in the summoning class.

"The player wanting to buy the Elite Rifle suggested meeting in Zhengyu City, in the Nanshan Province, and the one wanting the Tree Seed wanted to meet further north in Shiyan City, Beishan Province. These locations are about 400 kilometers and 800 kilometers from Dongjiang City, respectively, making the trips relatively convenient for me."

And so, after confirming the specifics of the transaction timing and location, Wang Zhifan prepared for his departure. Unlike his previous trip to Jinlin City via high-speed rail, this time he opted for a more swift and convenient means of transport.

Wang Zhifan quickly left his spacious rental apartment, took the elevator down to the street, and hailed a random taxi to the suburbs of Dongjiang City. He then found a secluded street lacking any surveillance or pedestrians to conduct his final pre-departure operation.

He first activated his newly acquired Summon Red Deer skill, calling forth a chestnut-colored Red Deer Horse from an unknown realm. Then, donning a black coat, he put on both the Mad Tree-man Mask and the Wind Concealing Conical Hat.

The Mad Tree-man Mask allowed him to change his external appearance, transforming into a completely different-looking young man, while the Wind Concealing Conical Hat provided invisibility.

Fully equipped, Wang Zhifan mounted the Red Deer Horse. He used his phone camera to check his current appearance, then decisively activated the invisibility power of the Wind Concealing Conical Hat, ready to take off for Zhengyu City in Nanshan Province.

To his surprise, as he activated the invisibility power, he noticed through his phone camera that the Red Deer Horse had also turned invisible along with him.

"So the Wind Concealing Conical Hat considers the Red Deer Horse an extension of me, hence making it invisible too? That's even better, saving me from explaining a flying horse that might raise many questions."

Accepting this unexpected outcome, Wang Zhifan tightened his legs around the now-invisible horse and urged the Red Deer Horse to start galloping.

As a Pegasus in its description, the Red Deer Horse bore no saddle, no reins. Wang Zhifan relied solely on his strong core and leg muscles to maintain balance while guiding the horse without uttering a word. As its summoner, he had a certain degree of mental communication with it—just a thought, and the Red Deer Horse knew whether to run or fly, accelerate or pause.

In no time, following Wang Zhifan's mental command, the Red Deer Horse, wild-looking yet gentle in nature, raised its front hooves and kicked back with its hind legs, speeding into the sky with astonishing velocity, carrying the hat-wearing youth on its back.

Defying the laws of physics, it quickly ascended to high altitude, raining diagonally upwards through the clouds, then running atop the clouds as if on a flat surface—a veritable flaming steed galloping across a blanc prairie!

Throughout all of this, no outsider could spot Wang Zhifan or the Red Deer Horse. Even those in close proximity would only sense a strange flow of air, hearing little to no sound.

This was thanks to the optical invisibility provided by Wang Zhifan's Wind Concealing Conical Hat, and the Red Deer Horse's silent nature which ensured it produced no noteworthy sound while running.

Additionally, the Wind Concealing Conical Hat brought Wang Zhifan another advantage. Its wind abilities granted him immunity from the strong winds encountered during the run, providing a significant speed boost that further reduced the airborne journey time initially estimated at half an hour!

As for the cold in the high-altitude clouds, Wang Zhifan's Jade Silk Armor provided the necessary insulation to retain body heat against the frigid upper air.

However, given Wang Zhifan's now-superhuman physique, and the Wind Concealing Conical Hat shielding him from the harsh winds, he wouldn't be affected by the sub-zero temperatures of the clouds even without the Jade Silk Armor. Besides, his most potent ability was the Epic Ice Source Power, nearly rendering him immune to freezing damage!

"Amazing! The sky! So beautiful! The clouds! Is this what flying feels like?! No, I better keep an eye on my phone map, just in case I veer off course."

At midday, Wang Zhifan rode the majestic Red Deer Horse, soaring through the sky and clouds, utterly awestruck by the breathtaking beauty of this first-time encounter.
