《World of Experts 》Chapter 104: Dragon Spring Mountain
Advertisement
The next day, the early morning sunlight shone through the trees. Shi Hao and Su Wu had already set off with a team. In their team, the main force was naturally Shi Hao’s 100 soldiers. In addition, Su Hao also brought a group of players to serve as mob soldiers (P.S.: as mentioned before, Su Wu’s main force was the Shadow Guards. Unfortunately, the members of the Shadow Guards could only be regular NPCs. Players couldn’t enter the Shadow Pavilion to learn the skill. And those shadow guards had been killed by a certain Mengmeng. It was impossible to replenish them in a short time). As for where did these players come from? These players were naturally lower-leveled staffs of Su Wu’s game company. Compared to the ordinary NPCs, they only had one difference, which was, they could resurrect. (P.P.S.: when Shi Hao and Su Wu formed a team, Shi Hao used zero team buff mode.)
Naturally, the team was not entirely composed of just these people. Su Xiao was also on the team! At the strong request of Su Wu, Su Xiao thought that Blowing Wind Left A Passion was not a hooligan taking his behavior into account, and thought that he wouldn’t do anything excessive to herself. Moreover, Su Wu had promised her a thing. Therefore, she agreed to the request of Su Wu and joined the expedition of Dragon Spiring Mountain. Su Wu had promised that he would let her call Shi Hao once after the expedition of Dragon Spiring Mountain! At this moment, Su Xiao was very happy, thinking she would be able to openly talk with Shi Hao (since Su Wu restricted her freedom last time, she couldn’t even call Shi Hao in the real world). She smiled happily, which was picturesque, making Shi Hao completely intoxicated. Su Wu looked at the intoxicated Blowing Wind Left A Passion and felt very proud. And Shi Hao who noticed Su Wu’s proud look by accident became all the more intoxicated.
In short, the troops led by these three people advanced like this. Their journey was very smooth. Dragon Spring Mountain was located on the southwestern side of Tusu Village, and it was not too far from the village. Since they hurry on with their journey all night, when the night was just getting darker, they successfully arrived at the foot of the Dragon Spiring Mountain.

Looking from the distance, the thick fog lingering on Dragon Spring Mountain looked especially eerie under the dim light of night. Shi Hao knew that now was obviously not a good time to enter Dragon Spring Mountain!
Shi Hao loudly gave an order: “Set up the camp here. We’ll enter the mountain at noon tomorrow.”
Roger! Shi Hao’s 100 men troops quickly put down the goods and materials from the carriages, then built a big enough military camp. As for the other player soldiers brought by Su Wu, all of them were idle and resting. Su Wu didn’t care about this. He let those players fool around. Su Wu was truly not a commander material.
However, now was not the time to care about Su Wu’s future. Shi Hao must go to sleep well. After all, the night was getting darker! Soon, Shi Hao had settled down everything! But the lurking danger didn’t settle down!
Outside the military camp of Shi Hao’s group, a group of sneaky guys had gathered. It was a pity that the night was dark. No one could see their traces clearly. Merely, if one got closer to them, one could hear them discussing in a low voice.
“Hey! Are you sure that it’s here? This is that Dragon Spring Mountain Stronghold we have to wipe out? Are you sure that we are not mistaken? This Dragon Spring Mountain is very strange!”
“Milord, it shouldn’t be wrong! We have been going back and forth in Dragon Spring Mountain for a long time, and we have finally arrived at the depth of Dragon Spring Mountain. This military camp must be our goal.”
“Okay! Since you said so, then, cavalry unit, attention, mount the horse and charge! Take advantage of the night to carry out a sneak attack. Let’s conquer this military camp and return everything back to Emperor Qin. This, however, is a great merit.” Therefore, a group of people of unknown origin attacked Shi Hao’s military camp without rhyme or reason.
However, no matter what their origin was, their equipment was absolutely not bad. Honestly speaking, even compared to the equipment of Shi Hao’s Twin Dragons Village, it was slightly better.

Moreover, one had to say one more thing! Night raids had always been an excellent tactic since ancient times. The defense was always the weakest at night, especially when no one expected it, the attack would definitely cause panic. At that time, the basic qualities of the soldiers would be revealed.
As it turned out that the basic qualities of Su Wu’s idle player soldiers were very interesting. Someone yelled: “Run! It’s an attack.” Haha! Instantly, these guys created chaos. Naturally, there were also some brave people among them. Look! There was an archer under Su Wu that was pulling his bow and shooting arrows. Bang! Bang! Bang! Unfortunately, his arrows were not strong enough to shoot through the armor and shields of those attacking soldiers. After all, the equipment of Su Wu’s subordinates was trash items without any bonus.
In comparison, the elite troops under Shi Hao, the elites of Divine and Mighty Alliance provided by Huan Ji, not only used tier-three bonus equipment (P.S: much better than the current equipment of Twin Dragons Village), but they also had two super team buffs of Shi Hao’s Soul of the Warrior and Shadow Dragon Soul. Their performance was much more eye-catching. “Get into formation! Archers, ready! Knights, ready! Attack.” Shi Hao’s troops immediately formed their own team, set up a formation, and faced the enemy head-on. Yes! Since the equipment was good and the buffs were also strong, it was time to face the enemy head-on.
Soon, Shi Hao’s troops and the troops of unknown origin fought. And after the few exchange, the result was self-evident. The soldiers of the other side either died or fainted. No one was able to escape. Even that unlucky leader who had charged in the frontline was captured and locked up in a small tent by himself.
At this stage, this chaos of night finally passed without any real damage.
The sky finally brightened, and Shi Hao woke up. Now, he was very energetic. Although he had heard the fighting sounds last night and knew that someone was carryout out a night attack, he was too lazy to get up. He had yet to enter the Dragon Spirit Mountain, why would that A grade historical NPC launch a surprise attack? That man was relying on the terrain of Dragon Spring Mountain to protect himself. Why would he stupidly rush out to court death? Do you think that that A grade historical NPC was Su Wu who loved to deliver himself to the enemy since he had nothing to do? Therefore, since it wasn’t the night raid led by that A grade historical NPC, there was no reason that his 100 men troops wouldn’t be able to deal with it. So, he naturally continued to sleep peacefully to restore his spirit.
As for Su Xiao, she was very intelligent. Didn’t Su Wu say that Blowing Wind Left A Passion was Blowing Wind Left A Scar? Like that, she had nothing to worry about. She also continued to sleep and woke up at noon to prepare to enter the mountain. Heh heh.
However, Su Wu didn’t have casual thoughts like Shi Hao. He immediately got up when he heard the fighting sounds last night. And he subconsciously prepared to follow his subordinate players to run away at first. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that Blowing Wind Left A Passion was still here! And Blowing Wind Left A Passion would be able to deal with it. Su Wu firmly believed in Blowing Wind Left A Passion, and he used his boss aura to stabilize the player soldiers under him. This prevented him from sleeping well all night. However, Su Wu still got up quite early. He still had to leave a good impression in front of Blowing Wind Left A passion. Getting up late was not okay.
Su Wu walked towards Shi Hao and said with a smile on his face: “Brother Wind! It’s so early, are you going to interrogate that guy caught last night?”
Shi Hao looked at Su Wu’s dark circles, smiled and said: “Yes…”

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
