《Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start》 Chapter 1 - 1 1. Rebirth, billions of Spiritual Energy!_1 1 1. Rebirth, billions of Spiritual Energy!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Parallel universe, East Sea City. Wheezewheeze In a 50 square meter room of Osmanthus District, a young man around 22 or 23 years old suddenly sat up in bed, gasping heavily. Wasnt I killed by Skuru people? How could it be Looking around the familiar environment, Su Yu quickly reached for his phone on the bedside table. May 29, 2120 Am I reborn?! And even before the grand transformation? Looking at the date disyed on his phone, Su Yus face couldnt believe it. ording to his memory, three dayster, on June 1, Skuru aliens would invade Blue Star. Skuru Star was somewhat more advanced than Blue Star, possessing the ability to obliterate Blue Star humans andpletely upy Blue Star within a month. However, ording to the game rules set by the god-level civilization C the Singer Civilization: When an advanced civilization invades a weaker one, the Singers would provide a period of protection and some means of self-defense to the weaker civilization. The Skurus invasion was thus postponed for a year, until June 1, 2121. At the same time, the Singer Civilization provided two means of self-defense to the Blue Star humans. First, Spirit Power Awakening. At that time, all the spiritual energy stored in the mantle would be activated, enhancing the strength of all Blue Star humans. Second, a super-realistic game C Evolution. Once Blue Star humans reached level 50 in Evolution, they could manifest their in-game strength into the real world. Regrettably, when the grand transformation began in Su Yus previous life, the governments of various countries were unaware that real-world manifestation was possible through Evolution. By the time they started to take it seriously and encouraged all citizens to explore the game, it was half a yearter, when the third expansion pack was released, and some yers had reached level 50. A step slow, steps slow. On June 1, 2121, the fully prepared Skuru invaders attacked in waves, pressuring Blue Star humans. And Su Yu, he died in the battle against the Skuru. Su Yu stared at the date disyed on his phone screen, his face rigid, and he was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he finally came back to his senses: The server for Evolution should be going online in three days. During that time, I must get a game helmet! Also, the first time you log into the game, the game helmet will absorb all the spiritual energy within a five-kilometer radius, I better bring the helmet to a Spiritual Spring Eye.. Su Yu began to take action, mumbling to himself as he dialed the hotline to purchase a game helmet. He wasnt one to sit back and await his death. As for whether Su Yus rebirth could cause a butterfly effect and disturb the overall situation of the humans, he was unsure himself. Regardless, do what humans can do and leave the rest to destiny! Three dayster, at 7:30 AM, Su Yu drove his old car to a quiet mountain on the outskirts of East Sea City. Yunlu Mountain, this is the ce. Su Yu picked up the game helmet from the back seat and began to hike up the mountain. The game helmet for Evolution cost 30,000 yuan, almost all of his savings from working for a year after graduation, but Su Yu didnt mind at all. Humans were on the brink of destruction, whats the use of money? Standing on the top of the mountain with the helmet, looking at the magnificent mountains and rivers around him, Su Yu was filled with emotion. Now, almost no one in the country knew the name of this obscure mountain, Yunlu Mountain, but in half a years time, the name of this mountain would spread all over the country. Because of the Spirit Power Awakening, 24 megatype, 108rgetype, and 3600 smalltype Spiritual Spring Eyes would open worldwide, spewing out spiritual energy. And the Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye was thergest one worldwide! Time passed by minute by minute. Its 8 oclock! Its time for the Evolution server to go online. The grand transformation is about to begin! Su Yus face became serious. Soon, the ground began to shake violently. About two kilometers north of the mountaintop, the ground suddenly cracked open, a deep hole! At the same time, a vast amount of milky white, faint purple spiritual energy spewed out from the hole, spreading out in all directions, a flood of spiritual energy surging towards the sky. Its really beautiful! Su Yu looked at the substantial Energy Column and squinted his eyes. Though the Spiritual Spring Eye seemed like Blue Stars gift to humanity, enhancing the strength of all humans, Su Yu knew that it was also one of the roots of humanitys suffering. About an hourter, a Skuru spaceship would arrive here, upy the Spiritual Spring Eye and build a base. Humans not only failed to enjoy any benefits brought by the Spiritual Spring Eye, but the Skuru, using the energy from the spring eye, created arge number of terrifying monsters, causing great trouble to humans. For this reason, Su Yus absorption of the spiritual energy here is not only harmless to humans, but also undermines the power of the Skuru. You could say its killing two birds with one stone! After seeing the spiritual energy spewing out from the ground, Su Yu quickly put on the game helmet. Enter the game! Loading the Evolution game He heard the familiar game loading sound in his ear, and Su Yus consciousness connected with the helmet, delving into the deep game world. Ding, we have detected spiritual energy materials in your surroundings, would you like to absorb them? Yes! Start absorbing, please wait. In the outside world, the enormous celestial energy column seems to be attracted by an invisible force, all converging towards Su Yu on the mountaintop. The endless spiritual energy enveloping him inyers was absorbed by the helmet. In the game, Su Yus Spiritual Energy Value panel was skyrocketing! One hundred thousand! One million! Ten million! One hundred million! In the end, the Spiritual Energy Value stopped at the number ten billion. Su Yu couldnt help but be astonished. In his previous life, he had entered the game half a yearter, and at that time, the spiritual energy value he acquired was only 11 points. But now, ten billion! Detected spiritual energy is at the absorption limit, do you want to enter the game. Dont enter, exit the game! Su Yu quickly made a decision. Thats because, in about an hour, Skuru spaceships will descend here, and he certainly doesnt want to be the first human captured by the Skuru. After exiting the game, Su Yu took off his helmet. Because the helmet had absorbed almost all of the spiritual energy nearby, the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye to the north seemed lifeless,pletelycking the grand erupting momentum it had earlier. Su Yu didnt care about this, he quickly grabbed the game helmet and ran down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, on the road, Su Yu got into his old car, stepped on the gas and left Yunlu Mountain behind. An hourter, a crack several kilometers wide tore open in the sky above Yunlu Mountain. A 200-meter long brown-gray spaceship descended on top of Yunlu Mountain. Inside the spaceship, a Skuru female pilot with light green skin reported to her superior: Commander, anomaly detected in Giant Spiritual Spring Eye 001, its spewing volume is equivalent to a small Spiritual Spring Eye. How could this be? The Skuru malemander sitting in the control room was taken aback: Could it be that wended in the wrong ce? No, sir. The coordinate data ispletely normal. Well lets justnd here then, follow the orders from headquarters. The Skurumander said. Understood. Chapter 2 - 2 2. Lottery draw, legendary bloodline!_1 2 2. Lottery draw, legendary bloodline!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Half an hourter, Su Yu returned to his rental house and connected the game helmet to the power supply. Like aptop, the game helmet could only be yed for two or three hours at most without power, so it had to be connected to the power supply for a long gaming duration. This time, Ive made a fortune! Not only did I acquire billions of resources, but I also weakened Skurus power! Feeling quite pleased, Su Yu donned the helmet and entered the game. After a grand CG sequence, Su Yu found himself in an ancient temple. The walls of the temple were engraved withplex and mysterious runes, and in the center of the temple, a colossal sword, three times the height of a man, was embedded. This was the login interface for Evolution. Wee to Evolution, adventurer. You have absorbed one hundred billion Spirit Power Values, would you like to convert them into spiritual energy coins? The usually cold game alert sound wasced with a hint of ttery and appeasement, an unusual urrence that left Su Yu a bit disoriented. Convert all of it! Ding, conversion sessful, you have received one hundred billion spiritual energy coins! Seeing the column of spiritual energy coins disying 10000000000, Su Yu, despite his nerves of steel thanks to his experiences, was left stupefied. Spiritual energy coins are themon in-game currency. At the beginning of the game, the off-the-line exchange price for spiritual energy coins remained high at 1:10 Flower Coins. Furthermore, the value of the spiritual energy coins was quite stable; it never fell below 10:1, even in theter stages of the game, when most yers were at levels 50 or 60. So, if I were to exchange all these spiritual energy coins for Flower Coins, wouldnt I be a billionaire? Su Yu felt his lips going dry. However, the game prompt broke his reverie: Please select your upation. In front of the enormous sword in the temple, phantoms of the seven avable upations appeared. The mighty Warrior. The mystic Mage. The de in the shadows, Assassin. The devout beliefs of the Priest. The unwavering shield of the Holy Knights. The twirling arrow, Archer. The bnce of nature, Druid. The seven spectral representations of the upations, d in splendid high-ranking equipment, showcased their respective skills at the temples center. des whirled, fire waves rolled, giant bears roared, holy light shone Through Su Yus experienced perspective, it was clear that the quality of the equipment worn by each of these specters was high, at least of Epic quality. Moreover, the skills being disyed were indeed rare within the game, so the presentation was not misleading. I choose Mage. Su Yu made his decision. The Mage upation had few spells avable at the early stages of the game, and leveling up was rather difficult due to constantly having to sit down to recover after casting just a few spells. But Su Yu had one hundred billion spiritual energy coins! There was nothing money couldnt solve. Moreover, the Mage upation was the one in which power could be increased most quickly by throwing money at it. Ding, the Mage upation has been selected. Please name your character. Hmm Su Yu fell into deep thought. What should he choose for a name? Skuru Destroyer? That wont do it was too tant and could attract the attention of the governments around the world. After all, only the higher-ups of the global governments knew about the term Skuru. Ill name him Nemesis! After some thought, Su Yu made up his mind. Name sessful. You have gained one opportunity to randomly draw a Bloodline. Would you like to draw one? Draw. Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained themon Bloodline [Forest Elf Blood], which increases spell power by 5% in forest environments. Would you like to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to draw again? Draw again. Su Yu didnt hesitate. The quality of Bloodlines is categorized asmon (white), excellent (green), rare (blue), epic (purple), and legendary (orange). As someone with hundreds of billions of spiritual energy coins, how could he be content with just amon Bloodline? Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained the rare Bloodline [Troll Chief Bloodline]. Would you like to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to draw again? Draw again. Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained the excellent Bloodline [Frost Naga Bloodline]. Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained the epic Bloodline [Storm Dragon Bloodline]. Each time Su Yu chooses to draw again, the amount of spiritual energy coins required multiplies by 10. Eventually, every time he clicked, it cost as many as ten million spiritual energy coins! But, fortunately, once the cost reached ten million spiritual energy coins, it no longer increased. Goodbye, a detached house in Imperial Capitals fourth ring, draw again. Goodbye, ten luxury sports cars, draw again. Even though Su Yu spoke these words, he didnt even blink an eye. He kept on drawing, all for the sake of a legendary Bloodline. Houses and cars were virtual objects the most important thing was to have stronger power to ensure his survival in reality. Finally, after drawing more than 200 times and spending over 20 billion spiritual energy coins, a burst of golden light exploded in the temple. Ding! Congrattions, you have obtained the legendary Bloodline [Star Bloodline]! Finally, its arrived! I must really have the luck of an emperor. Wiping off sweat, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Based on the information Su Yu had, the people who possess a legendary Bloodline were very few in the world. Amongst the approximately three billion people who entered the game, only 5 or 6 supremely lucky individuals managed to obtain a legendary Bloodline, and this was only after half a year of gamey had passed. In Su Yus case, it took just over 200 tries to obtain a legendary Bloodline, making him extremely fortunate indeed. Afterpleting the drawing, the details of the [Star Bloodline] were disyed before his eyes. [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Bloodline Talent: 1, [Star Transformation]: You can manifest your strength and skills into the real world. 2, [Point Star Hand]: You can use experience points and spiritual energy coins to enhance your skills and the items you obtain, improving their quality. After seeing the talents of the [Star Bloodline], Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of a legendary Bloodline! Its so powerful! Setting aside the second talent, Su Yu was already very satisfied with the first one alone. Other yers had to reach Level 50 andplete a series of difficult tasks to materialize their strength in reality. But Su Yu was different he could bring his strength and skills into reality even at Level 1! This gave him strong self-defense capability in the real world in the early stages! As for the second talent, he would need to know more about the game before he could draw a conclusion. Chapter 3 - 3 3、Strengthen, increase damage by 21 times!_1 3 3Strengthen, increase damage by 21 times!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Ding! Would you like to adjust your appearance? Adjust it, decrease by 40%, Su Yu hurriedly responded. In hisst life, he entered the game without adjusting his appearance and ran into significant trouble. Due to his high attractiveness, countless women swarmed around him, and he received more than a dozen suggestive private messages every time he logged on, which drained him. I cant be so reckless in this life. Women will only slow down my spell casting, Su Yu thought to himself. Entering the game, countdown 3, 2, 1, 0. As the countdown ended, Su Yu was transported into the game. The 006 Novice Vige, Nn Vige. Nn Vige is a bustling little vige. On the central square of the vige, countless white shes passed by as numerous yers spawned here. The newly spawned yers were full of curiosity for this unfamiliar world. Looking at the buildings around them that had no difference from the real world, and the shadows of the trees, they ran, jumped, and loudly discussed: This game is too realistic! Yes! This is exactly like another world! Its simply incredible! I was so disdainful when they imed 100% reality simtion, but who thought they could make it reality? Which countrys ck technology is this? Incredible! The 30,000 yuan wasnt wasted. I will definitely invite my friends to y! Hearing the enthusiastic discussion of the new yers, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Yus mouth. Ah, to be young! When he first entered the game world in his previous life, he was also amazed by the games outstanding performance. But now he had grown ustomed to this world, so he didnt really care. Su Yu left the crowded crowd and opened his attribute panel in a corner of the square. Character: [Nemesis] Level: lv1 ss: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 5, Agility: 5, Intelligence: 8, Constitution: 4, Luck: 10 Spell Power: 9 Life Points: 80 Mana Points: 100 Defense: 6 Spell Critical Hit Rate: 0 Movement Speed: 1.2 Experience Points 0/1000 Wealth: 7,378,888,890 spiritual energy coins Equipment: [Novice Wand lv1 (Common)] Spell Power +1 [Novice Robes lv1 (Common)] Defense +1 Skills: [Magic Bullet (Common)], [Point Star Hand (Legendary)] [Magic Bullet (Common)]: Launches a magic bullet, dealing 100% spell power damage to the target. Casting time 1.5 seconds, mana consumption 5. [Point Star Hand (Legendary)]: Consumes Experience Points or spiritual energy coins to enhance the quality of an item or skill. The quality of equipment and skills, like the bloodline quality, is also divided into Common (White), Excellent (Green), Rare (Blue), Epic (Purple), and Legendary (Orange). And his skill [Point Star Hand], can enhance the quality of items and skills. Su Yu tried it out: Ding, do you want to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Novice Wand (Common)]? Confirm! Ding, [Novice Wand (Common)] quality increased to [Novice Wand (Excellent)] with spell power +4, additional attribute: spell pration +3. Ding, do you want to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Novice Wand (Excellent)]? Confirm! Ding, [Novice Wand (Excellent)] quality increased to [Novice Wand (Rare)] with spell power +5, additional attribute: intelligence +3. Regrettably, when Su Yu chose to fortify again, the system prompted Level 10 required to continue strengthening. So, he had to stop. However, the attributes of the [Novice Wand] now became: [Novice Wand (Rare)] Spell Power +10 Spell Pration +3 Intelligence +3 These attributes are really powerful! After strengthening, its almost on par with a level 10 green quality wand! Su Yu admired. Never one to leave things half done, he also strengthened the [Novice Robe] to rare blue quality. [Novice Robe lv1 (Rare)] Defense +10 Physical Resistance +3 Mana Recovery Speed +3 It seems as though I can wear level 10 equipment at just level one, making me worthy of the [Legendary Bloodline]! Su Yu couldnt help but think of his past life, where he only had amon quality [Human Mechanic Bloodline] (-10% repair costs). It was totally iparable to now. Besides equipment, skills can also be strengthened. Ding, do you want to spend 100 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Magic Bullet (Common)]? Confirm! Ding, [Magic Bullet (Common)] quality upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Excellent)], spell damage increased by 100%, casting time -0.5 second, mana consumption increased by +5. Ding, do you want to spend 1000 spiritual energy coins Uponpletion of the strengthening, the [Magic Bullet] quality had been upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Rare)]. [Magic Bullet (Rare)]: Launches a magic bullet, dealing 300% spell power damage to the target. Casting time is 0.5 second, and it consumes 15 mana points. Compared to the original skill, [Magic Bullet (Rare])s damage increased from 100% to 300%, which is three times the original! Casting time also decreased from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 second! The only drawback might be that the mana consumed for casting also increased by three times. But that was a minor defect. Su Yu was very satisfied, Now I understand why the experts in my previous life had such high damage! Even the level 20 signature skill, [Snipe], of the Archer only has a panel damage of 300%! Wait a minute! If [Magic Bullet] can be strengthened, cant [Point Star Hand] be strengthened as well? Su Yu quickly tried it out. But he soon received the game notice, Ding! Strengthening a legendary quality skill requires level 30. He had to give it up. However, after a round of strengthening, Su Yus spell power increased from 9 to 21 points. In addition to the threefold increase in [Magic Bullet] damage, along with the threefold decrease in casting speed, his DPS (Damage Per Second) was at least 21 times that of other novice mages! No rush for the hidden mission, I should first try out my monster ying efficiency in the wild! Su Yu was itching to try out his monster ying abilities. But before that, he had to buy a substantial amount of mana potions. His mana points were only 100, and the mana consumption of [Magic Bullet] was 15. He would run out of mana after casting only six or seven spells. That would not do. With this in mind, Su Yu hurriedly walked towards the mage hut in the novice vige where there were sufficient potions for sale. Chapter 4 - 4 4. Trigger hidden mission, Old Mage’s invitation_1 4 4. Trigger hidden mission, Old Mages invitation_1 Trantor: 549690339 Because there were too many fledgling yers in the vige, the Magicians Cabin had been set up as a separate ne. Pushing open the heavy oak door and stepping inside, only an aged magician with a beard as white as snow could be seen. Boss, I want to buy magic potions. Su Yu rapped his fingers on the table. At this point, the old magician was busy preparing a pot of green solution in a crucible. Hearing Su Yus words, he nced up at him, then turned his head away, saying coldly: Get out of here! Is this a ce you should be? My most basic potion costs at least five spiritual energy coins, can you afford it? Newbies should stick to their tasks, clearing out monsters, and not aim too high! The NPCs in Evolution all have very advanced AI and have their distinctive personalities. The old magician saw Su Yus novice mage cloak and wand, assumed he was a pauper, and have no intention to serve him. Su Yu smiled. He did not argue but began to materialize the spiritual energy coins from his backpack. A ton of them suddenly cascaded out! The translucent spiritual energy coins poured out, covering the entire wooden table. At a nce, there had to be several thousand just there! The old magician turned his head on hearing the noise. Seeing a table full of spiritual energy coins, his hand which was brewing potions froze, his eyes bugging out. What was happening? Why was this novice mage so rich? Being a 30th-level mage and a part-time alchemist, even he found it hard to produce so much money effortlessly! Thus, his attitude made a swift 180-degree turn: Heh heh, young brother, it was just a misunderstanding! What do you need? My stock is very well-rounded! The old magician put on a friendly face and sidled up to Su Yu. Looking at the table full of spiritual energy coins, he rubbed his hands eagerly. The magicians flip-flop made Su Yu think of an old saying: Arrogant at first but respectfulter, the thought of it isughable. But he wasnt going to argue with an NPC. After taking the Exchange List handed by the old magician, Su Yu began to check them off: [Beginners Mana Potion] 300 bottles, [Beginners Wisdom Potion] 100 bottles, [Fireball] magic scrolls 300 copies, [Ice Arrow] magic scroll 100 copies Each stack in the backpack has a limit of 100. So Su Yu bought many sets of potions and magic scrolls he needed, each set containing 100 items and stuffed them into his bag until it was filled. As for recovery potions, Su Yu didnt buy any because the monsters in the newbie vige were clumsy, and he wouldnt require any recovery potions, instead, they would upy his backpacks slots. Seeing Su Yu purchasing so many high-value items at a time, the old magician rushed around fetching things, his initial arrogance gone. The entire shopping spree cost Su Yu 30,000 spiritual energy coins, which probably exceeded the sum of all the newbies in the vigebined. However, he didnt even blink an eye, and once the transaction waspleted, he walked away. Seeing Su Yu leaving, the old magician hurriedly waved his hand to keep him back, Wait a moment, young brother! What is it? Su Yu turned around. Heh heh, its like this, the old mage exined right away, I see that you have an extraordinary bone structure and are surrounded by elemental energy, which makes you a rare magical genius Get to the point. AlrightI want to ask, would you be interested in joining the force I am part of C Schrs Temple? Schrs Temple is among the top forces in this entire continent! Plenty of mages are scrambling to enter but couldnt! The old magicians face was beaming with enthusiasm. Seeing how Su Yu can splurge several ten thousand spiritual energy coins in such a short time, he knew Su Yu must be bloody rich! Pulling such a wealthy man into the force would earn him substantial rewards from his superiors. Ding! You have triggered the hidden excellent quest [Join Schrs Temple]. Quest criteria: ept the magician Prisms invitation and join the force C Schrs Temple. Quest rewards: [Schrs Temple Invitation]X1, Experience PointsX200. On the forgotten continent, there were a variety of forces, both big and small, and the yers could choose to join any one of them. Su Yu knew about Schrs Temple, and indeed, the benefits of joining it were immense. In his past life, a yer had to reach a level of 20 andplete more than 30 rounds of quests to earn the recognition of Schrs Temple which allows him to join. But Su Yu was not satisfied. He smirked: You think I dont know? Schrs Temple is only considered a third-rate power in the maind, its far inferior to first-rate powers like Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome! Su Yu didnt ept the quest and turned toward the exit. The old magician Prism was utterly stunned. How did this newbie sorcerer know about Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome? How could a newbie have so much knowledge? However, he knew Su Yu was not easy to trick. Seeing Su Yus foot was already at the doorstep, the old magician hurriedly kept him back again: Wait! I havent finished yet! Im willing toe up with something precious Ive kept for many years in exchange! Ding! The quest has changed. You have triggered the hidden rare quest: [Join Schrs Temple (Revised)]. Quest criteria: Hand in material [Silver Snake Gall] dropped by a Level 5 Boss [Silver Snake Leader]. Quest rewards: [Schrs Temple Invitation] X1, Skill Scroll [sh Chain (Superior)] x1, Experience Points X500. When Su Yu saw the [sh Chain] skill scroll in the quest reward, he was taken aback. [sh Chain] is an area damage skill, which was scarce in the early game. If he remembered correctly, in his past life, he needed to trigger a hidden quest at the old magicians andplete 30 rounds of high difficulty quests to obtain the [sh Chain] skill scroll. Now, he only needed to hand in a [Silver Snake Gall]? Looking delighted, the old magician chimed in, Youre so rich so getting a [Silver Snake Gall] from an adventurer should be easy, shouldnt it be not difficult for you, right? But when he put it that way, the old magician realized something wasnt right. No! It was clearly me inviting him to join the force, which was beneficial to all of us, why did it seem like I was begging him now? Su Yu smirked: Well, I guess I wont find it hard to ept then, wait for my good news! Su Yu epted the quest and walked away from the Magicians Cottage. Although Schrs Temple was only a third-rated power in the continent, it was very open-minded and there were no obstacles to leave. It was indeed a good ce to stay in the early stage. Having an area effect skill in the early stages was a great benefit to him, so Su Yu was quite satisfied. Chapter 5 - 5 5, Level 3 monsters, Instant kill! _1 5 5, Level 3 monsters, Instant kill! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Area full of wild creatures just outside the beginners vige. Su Yu entered the game half an hourter than everyone else, and the area was already packed with yers. The leveling speed in Evolution is extremely slow. Killing a level 1 Slime only awards 1 experience point, while leveling up from level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 points of experience. You need to kill a whopping 1000 Slimes just to level up once! Thats why the level 1 wild area is filled with yers. Everyone is scattered around, and as soon as a Slime reappears, 5 or 6 attack spells are thrown its way. Thepetition is fierce. Su Yu didnt n on fighting for monsters with everyone else, so he headed directly to the higher-level monster area. There are fewer yers in the area for level 2 Goblins. Because a level 1 newbie cant beat a level 2 creature alone, the people there are often part of teams of 3 to 4, working together to take down a Goblin. At the entrance of the creature area, a middle-aged warrior with a scruffy beard and a lively young female assassin are discussing something. Seeing Su Yu enter the area, the young womans eyes lit up and she walked over to him: Friend, would you like to team up for creature hunting? We have two people in our team right now, and with you, we could start! Su Yu looked at her name hovering above her head. Snow Fall, a very poetic name. But he just smiled kindly: I think Ill pass! He then pointed at the area for level 3 wild creatures: Ill go check out over there. Young man, dont waste your time over there. The middle-aged uncle marched towards Su Yu and advised, My daughter and I just came back from the level 3 creature area. Leveling up there requires a team of five people, including a priest, and its not efficient. The middle-aged uncles name was Snow Balm, simr in style to his daughters. Something didnt feel right. No worries, I just want to take a look. Su Yu rejected their kindness and headed towards the level 3 wild creature area. Watching Su Yus receding figure, the middle-aged uncle shrugged and said to his daughter: Luo Luo, it seems we need to team up with someone else. Yeah! Hes quite handsome, but he doesnt seem very smart. Snow Fall made a face at Su Yus retreating figure. Off in the distance, Su Yu heard their conversation and couldnt help but wipe his sweat. His appearance had already been toned down by 40%, and he was still considered quite handsome? It seems like bing a normal person is really difficult! Upon arriving at the level 3 wild creature area, there were very few yers. Looking from a distance, Su Yu could only see three five-person teams leveling up here. The level 3 creature was called a ck Boar, with 50 health points. The attacks of the five-person teams only dealt -2 or -3 damage to the Boar. Moreover, after scrimmaging for a while, either the priests would run out of mana or the warriors would run out of health. Leveling up was tough. Su Yu avoided these people and chose a secluded spot where no one could see him to start his grind. He waved his wand and cast his spell skillfully. Half a secondter, a Magic Bullet the size of an apple shot out from the tip of his wand and hit the unsuspecting ck Boar. -60! A huge number appeared. The ck Boar copsed at the sound! With merely one hit, the level 3 Boar was instantly killed by Su Yu! I wonder what the teams nearby would think if they saw this. The system log also notified him: Ding! You killed a lv3 ck Boar and gained 3 experience points. Unfortunately, the ck Boar did not drop any items. The legendary bloodline sure is powerful! Su Yu eximed in his mind: If I hadnt drawn the Star Bloodline, Id probably still be desperately fighting over Slimes. Now, my leveling speed has increased exponentially! Of course, besides the legendary bloodline, having money was also a necessary requirement. After all, he spent 1100 spiritual energy coins to level up Magic Bullet. Currently, a level 1 newbie can only earn 8 to 15 spiritual energy coins from a full day of grinding. If youre broke, even with a legendary bloodline, the early-game advantage isnt that noticeable. With this method of leveling up, I believe I can reach level 2 in just a few minutes! Su Yu became invigorated and threw himself into the career of attacking (ughtering) wild boars. He wielded the wand in his right hand, releasing [Magic Bullet], while his left hand continuously activated [Fireball] and [Ice Arrow] scrolls. A [Magic Bullet] could kill a wild boar in one hit, and a single spell scroll could also crush one. Not a single [ck Wild Boar] could resist Su Yus attack, falling to the ground in droves. Su Yu gradually advanced, gradually sweeping through half of the monster area. 10 minutester, in the level 2 monster area. Snow Fall and her father still couldnt find suitable teammates. After refusing several lecherous male yers invites to join the team, she looked towards the level 3 monster area on her tiptoes: Dad, why hasnt that Nemesise back yet? He wasnt killed by the wild boar, was he? Who am I supposed to ask if youre asking me? Snow Balm, carrying his shield, suddenly said: Luo Luo, you havent fallen for that young man, have you? Certainly not! How is that possible? Snow Fall rolled her eyes: Who falls in love at first sight? Do you think this is a TV drama? Haha, you cant fool me, your mother gave me the same look when she first saw me. Snow Balmughed heartily. Snow Fall turned red and stomped her foot, looking like she was about to blow up. Snow Balm quickly changed the subject: Cough cough, since we have some time now, why dont we go to the level 3 monster area and look for that young man? He might be on his way back. Um okay. Snow Fall strangely nodded her head. Meanwhile, after 10 minutes of great boar ughter, Su Yu had umted 1000 experience points and sessfully levelled up to lv2. Although he entered the game half an hourter than other yers, he caught up with the first cohort after grinding monsters for 10 minutes! Unfortunately, in Evolution, the rate of equipment dropping from monsters is quite low. In these 10 minutes, Su Yu had in over 300 wild boars. Apart from harvesting some [Wild Boar Meat], [Wild Boar Hide], [Wild Boar Bone] and other materials, only three pieces of equipment dropped, two of which were for other sses. Only one piece of [Cloth Boots (Normal)] was suitable for Su Yu, and he upgraded them to a rare quality. [Cloth Boots (Rare)] Defense +10 Movement Speed +0.4 Intelligence +3 The +0.4 Movement Speed means that you can walk an extra 0.4 meter per second. Su Yus initial movement speed was 1.2, meaning he walks at 1.2 meters per second and runs at 6 meters per second. With the [Cloth Boots], his walking speed increased to 1.6 meters per second and running speed to 8 meters per second, which was significantly faster than others. After levelling up, his stats became: Name: [Nemesis] Level: lv2 ss: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 6, Agility: 6, Intelligence: 16, Constitution: 5, Luck: 10 Magic Power: 26 HP: 90 MP: 120 Defense: 25 Magic Crit Rate: 0 Movement Speed: 1.6 Experience Points 2/2000 Wealth: 7378881360 Equipment: [Novice Wand lv1 (Rare)], [Novice Mage Robe lv1 (Rare)], [Cloth Boots lv1 (Rare)] Skills: [Magic Bullet (Rare)], [Star Pointer (Legendary)] Chapter 6 - 6 6, Solo kill, level 3 BOSS! _1 6 6, Solo kill, level 3 BOSS! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Evolution does not include free attribute points after leveling up in the game. During the leveling up process, the mages attributes would automatically increase as it levels up (Strength, Agility, Constitution +1, Intelligence +2, HP +10, Mana +20). This is one less thing for Su Yu to worry about. Looking at his attribute panel, Su Yu quietly nodded his head. My spell power is now at 26 points, I should be able to instantly kill 4th level monsters. I think its time I level up in the high-level monster area! Su Yu casually cast a [Magic Bullet], aiming to end the life of the wild boar in front of him, and then move to the high-level monster area. However, something that he did not expect happened. After being hit by his [Magic Bullet], the wild boar in front of him did not fall like others of its kind but roared and charged at Su Yu. Su Yu was taken aback and took a good look at this boar. Its size wasrger than others and had more fur on its head, making it look quite fierce. [ck Wild Boar Leader (normal)] HP: 500 A wild boar boss has spawned unexpectedly! No wonder I didnt kill it instantly. But since it is a boss, it should drop some good loot! With these thoughts in his head, Su Yu quickly reacted. He calmly moved to the side to dodge the wild boar leaders [Charge]. Then, Su Yuunched his [Magic Bullet] and scroll-activated [Ice Arrow] onto the Wild Boar Leader. -54 -48 Two big numbers popped up, and the wild boar leaders HP dropped below 70% immediately. The wild boar leader, now in pain, had blood-red eyes. It grunted loudly andunched another [Charge] at Su Yu. But Su Yu was, after all, a level 64 master in his previous life. For these low-level monsters AI to harm him was practically impossible. Casually dodging the [Charge], his spell casting did not slow down at all. -55 -49 Two more spells. The wild boar bosss HP further dropped below half. The [ck Wild Boar Leader], who was proud of his [Charge] skill, couldnt hit the human in front of him and was easily dodged by Su Yus proficient footwork. Despite doing everything it could, it was never able to touch the human in front of it. Not even once. In the end, under the relentless bombardment of spells and magic scrolls, the wild boar leader cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Ding! You killed [ck Wild Boar Leader Lv3] and earned 30 experience points. The monsters from the newbie vige are so weak! Theres absolutely no challenge. Su Yu approached the wild boar bosss corpse and picked up the bag full of loot. The wild boar boss was quite generous with the loot and dropped several items. [New Moon Wand (Excellent) Lv3], [ck Iron Boots (Excellent) Lv3], [Lightning Bolt (Normal)] skill scroll, [Wild Boar Leaders Tusk (Excellent)] X2. Oh? A skill scroll dropped? Su Yus eyes brightened. In Evolution, a small part of the basic skills could be learned from job mentors, but most of the higher-quality spells are learnt through skill scrolls. Skill scrolls are much more valuable than equipment, so it was quite unexpected that the wild boar boss dropped one! It could also be due to the fact that it was the first time someone killed a level 3 boss in Nn Vige. [Lightning Bolt]? With the [sh Chain] reward from the old wizards task, it seems that Im going to start off as a lightning mage in the early stage of the game! Su Yu smiled and immediately chose to learn this spell. [Lightning Bolt (Normal)]: Launches a bolt of lightning to attack the enemy, dealing 130% spell power of magic damage. There is a 20% chance of cing the target in a [Paralyze] state. Casting time 1.5 seconds, consumes 5 mana points. [Paralysis]: The target cannot attack or move, duration 0.5 seconds. Without a second thought, Su Yu spent 1100 spiritual energy coins to upgrade the skill to rare blue quality. After the upgrade wasplete, the attributes of the [Lightning Bolt] underwent a drastic change. [Lightning Bolt (Rare)]: Release a lightning attack on the enemy, causing 390% magic damage based on spell potency, with a 40% chance of inducing a [Paralysis] status on the target. Casting time is 0.5 seconds, and consumes 15 mana points. Looking at the upgraded attributes of [Lightning Bolt], Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. Lightning spells in Evolution are known for their single-target high damage, quick speed and [Paralysis] effect. However,pared to other elemental spells, it has a smaller damage range than fire spells, weaker control than ice spells, and less defensive power than earth spells. Each elemental spell have their own strengthsCtheres no one-size-fits-all answer. In his past life, mage yers generally specialized in a single element type. But Su Yu was different. He had 7 billion spiritual energy coins and could definitely afford to master multiple elements! The [New Moon Wand] is still locked because his level is not high enough. Su Yu casually threw the boss wild boars drops into his backpack, whistling to himself as he headed to a high-level wild monster area. While Su Yu was battling the boss wild boar, Snow Balm and his daughter found the other group of five who were leveling up on the other side of the boar area. Excuse me, have you seen a young man named Nemesis? Snow Balm asked politely. No. No. Me neither. The four of them shook their heads in unison. You can try looking in the opposite monster area, said the kind-hearted archer. After all, the wild monster area isrge, so maybe But then he trailed off. The archer, who had broader vision, turned to look in the distance, where Su Yu was battling the wild boar boss, surrounded by the heaps of wild boar carcasses at his feet! Boss, look over there! Whats happening?! he shouted, ignoring his leveling up and pointing at the distance. What? The fighter known as boss finished downing a wild boar, then lifted his head to look in the direction the archer was pointingbut didnt see a thing. Theres nothing there, he said, looking perplexed. The other teammates also concurredthey saw nothing. You guys cant see itquickly,e with me, lets get a closer look! The archer was quite excited. He ran around the monster area towards the direction Su Yu was in. You two shoulde take a look too! Something incredible seems to have happened over there! he told Snow Balm and his daughter. Looking at the archers actions, his four teammates exchanged nces. However, they were already bored after half an hour of hunting wild boar, and without saying a word, they followed the archer. Snow Fall and her father exchanged nces and out of curiosity, they too followed along. After dealing with the wild boar boss, Su Yu hadnt walked far when he noticed seven yers walking towards him. Among them were the familiar-looking Snow Balm and his daughter. At this point, all seven yers were staring at the wild boar carcasses littering the ground, their faces incredulous: Good heavens! How could there be so many wild boar carcasses? Could it be a bug? The wild boars must have been killed quickly, otherwise how would so many carcasses be left without being refreshed? Shocking! Dozens of wild boar carcasses in the wildernesswhat could be the reason? Among the seven, the archer who had seen Su Yu battle the wild boar boss knew Su Yu was the cause. He then walked up to Su Yu, his eyes shining, and said in a low voice: Buddy, where did you get that cheat? Is it reliable? Sell it to us, and we guarantee well pay a high price! Chapter 7 - 7 7, Traitor, Zhan Tian Guild_1 7 7, Traitor, Zhan Tian Guild_1 Trantor: 549690339 Cheating software Su Yus lips twitched involuntarily. He hadnt expected the archer to jump to that conclusion. Without blushing or skipping a beat, Su Yu exined, Youre mistaken. I dont have any cheats. Just now, a high-level NPC happened to pass by and killed these wild boars. I see. Other than the archer, the rest of the team believed Su Yus exnation and nodded in understanding. Since Evolution had just beenunched, it wouldnt make sense for cheats to exist so soon. If not for cheating software, the only other exnation was the high-level NPC passing by. Otherwise, no one would believe that the wild boar corpses scattered all over the ground were the work of Su Yu alone. Sharp-eyed Snow Fall noticed the lv2 tag after the Nemesis suffix and eximed, Nemesis, you leveled up? Just now I saw you were still level 1! Thats because that high-level NPC threw me a buff when he left, allowing me to solo the wild boars. I was already close to leveling up so after killing a few boars, I leveled up. Su Yu shrugged. The team also noticed Su Yus level and praised him: My god, hes already level 2! Weve been killing wild boars here since the server opened and were only at 85% experience for level 1! Did you receive some kind of hidden quest? The team leader, a warrior, came over to Su Yu and extended his hand: Hello! Im the East Mountain Sword, team leader of the Zhan Tian guild. Are you a solo yer, my friend? Would you be interested in joining our guild? Our guild is the strongest guild in Magic Realm East Mountain Sword was bbering on. Seeing that Su Yu was at a higher level than them, he was instantly inspired to recruit him. As for Magic Realm, it was a highly popr online virtual reality game before Evolutionunched. Zhan Tian Guild? Upon hearing this name, Su Yus eyes shed with intense fury and resentment. Zhan Tian Guild was a renowned top-tier guild in his previous life, ranked third nationwide. The guild leader, Zhan Tianjian, was extraordinarily strong and well-respected, with an impable reputation. However, Su Yu was aware that in his previous life, Zhan Tianjian had secretly sided with the Skuru people. The honest and upright Zhan Tianjian led his core team to betray Country at the most crucial moment, thus directly resulting in the failure of the East Sea defense war, with millions of citizens falling under the butchery of the Skuru people. Consequently, upon hearing the name Zhan Tian, Su Yus favorable impression towards the yers before him instantly plummeted to the freezing point. However, the Zhan Tian Guild had not yet betrayed humanity in this life, so the hatred in Su Yus eyes was fleeting. No need for the invitation. I just wanted to try out the game. I might lose interest in a couple of days. Just like that, Su Yu turned abruptly and walked away without looking back. Ah Snow Fall reached out, hoping to hold Su Yu back. She didnt forget the reason why they came to the level 3 monster area was to invite Su Yu to level up together. However, Snow Balm quickly stopped her, Fall, dont disturb him. Lets return to the level 2 monster area and continue leveling. As a recently retired military officer, Snow Balm noticed the fleeting hatred in Su Yus eyes. Although unsure of the reason, he knew that Su Yu was in no mood for games, and hence, instructed his daughter not to bother him. East Mountain Swords team was confused by Su Yus abrupt exit. The pretty female priest in the team thought Su Yu was looking down on them andmented irritably, Hmph! Whats so great about him? Just because hepleted some hidden quest and leveled up to 2, he doesnt even acknowledge our Zhan Tian Guild! She was confident about her appearance and she was livid that Su Yu hadnt even nced at her when he saw her. Exactly, were the number one guild in Magic Realm! Many people cant even get in! Hes way too arrogant, thinking hes superior. The other two members of East Mountain Swords team echoed their agreement. Even East Mountain Sword himself thought that Su Yu was looking down on them, and his expression turned sour. Snow Balm sensed a deeper reason behind Su Yus departure. So, heughed and diverted attention from Su Yu: Haha, if you all are high-end yers from the Zhan Tian Guild, would you allow me and my daughter to join your guild? At Snow Balms words, the conversation shifted away from Su Yu. East Mountain Sword nced at Snow Fall and quickly nodded, Of course! After reaching level 10 and entering the main city, Ill invite you to join the guild. As Snow Fall was an attractive woman and as beautiful yers were a scarce resource in online games, East Mountain Sword naturally wouldnt refuse. Thus, under Snow Balms deliberate guidance, the departure of Su Yu was temporarily forgotten by East Mountain Swords team, and they continued to level up cheerfully in the boar zone. Level 4 monster zone. In the vast leveling area, there was only Su Yu. He strolled casually in the monster zone. After leveling up to level 2, his [Lightning Bolt] could deal nearly 100 points of damage to unarmored targets! The level 4 wild monster, [Slope Sheep] only had 60 points of health. Even when factoring in the monsters defense and level gap, they could not withstand Su Yus spell. -78 -62 ([Fireball Skill] Scroll) -80 -61 -83 The [Slope Sheep] fell one after another at Su Yus feet, not much different from the [ck Wild Boars] earlier. Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep] and gained 4 experience points. Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep] and gained 4 experience points and [Sheep Meat]. Ding! You killed a level 4 [Slope Sheep] Though leveling up was monotonous, Su Yus mind was wandering far away. The thought that upied him most was about the Zhan Tian Guild. In his previous life, the Zhan Tian Guild was a mammoth obstacle to Su Yu. Just to mention, the power of Zhan Tianjian alone was possibly greater than a hundred Su Yusbined. But in this life, should he do something to suppress the Zhan Tian Guild? Such as dying their guilds development, creating enemies for them, or even driving Zhan Tianjian out of the game? Feeling firm about his decision, Su Yu nodded. He couldnt let a traitor gain strength unchecked! But here came the problem: The Zhan Tian Guild had a good reputation and had a loyal following from Magic Realm, which meant they had the support from the majority of ordinary yers. Unprovoked suppression of an upright guild would only tarnish his reputation and inspire sympathy from the ordinary yers for the guild, making them even more determined. So, how was he supposed to suppress the Zhan Tian Guild? Su Yu fell deep into thought. Chapter 8 - 8 8, First Kill at Level 4 Boss!_1 8 8, First Kill at Level 4 Boss!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu was thinking in his mind, but his hands were not slow at all. He cast [Lightning Bolt] from the tip of his wand and set off Fireballs from his magic scroll, transforming the surrounding [Slope Sheep] into his Experience Points. Wherever he went, rows of [Slope Sheep] corpses fell like cut leeks. And since there were no other yers around, Su Yu was more unscrupulous without the worry of being seen. But just after Su Yu had been training for about ten minutes, killing over four hundred [Slope Sheep], he suddenly heard a strange wind sound from the sky. Looking up, Su Yu saw a gold-colored goat, half the sizerger than other [Slope Sheep], plummeting down towards him from mid-air. [Slope Sheep Boss (Exceptional)] Health: 800 It turned out to be a green exceptional level boss! Just now, the goat boss had respawned at a position not far from Su Yu. What a coincidence, Su Yus [Lightning Bolt] hit it. Upon being attacked, the goat bosss eyes turned red. It used the skill [Jump Stomp], leaped into the mid-air and stomped downwards at Su Yus position. Su Yu had been daydreaming during his training session, and he only reacted when the goat boss was about to stomp on him. After reacting, Su Yu quickly dodged to the side, but it was already toote. He had just run two steps when the goat bosss hoof mercilessly stomped on the spot he was just standing on. Bang! Dust rolled around where the goat bossnded, triggering a small seismic wave. -78! Su Yu was affected by the seismic wave and lost a big chunk of health. His initial 90 health points were now down to just 12, and his life was in serious danger. Fortunately, the [Novice Mage Robe] and [Cloth Boots] Su Yu was wearing were both enhanced rare quality items, providing him with an additional 20 points of defense. Otherwise, this single strike would have instantly killed Su Yu by the goat boss! Phew, good thing I didnt get killed. Otherwise, being kicked off the server by a low-level monster would be quite embarrassing, Su Yu sighed in relief. In Evolution, being killed by yers or monsters in the wild does not result in a decrease in level or loss of equipment. However, each death will result in being forcefully logged off for half an hour and a concurrent loss of half an hour game time. (You can only log in to Evolution for a maximum of 12 hours each day.) If Su Yu were to be kicked off the server due to carelessness, that would be a big loss! The goat boss did not know Su Yus thoughts. But as an Exceptional quality boss, in addition to the [Jump Stomp] skill, it had two other skills. Baaa! The goat boss let out a sound and activated the [Sheep Herd Summon] skill. After five shes of white light, five [Slope Sheep] were summoned, pointing directly at Su Yu! Then the goat boss released its third skill, [Sheep Herd Charge], and led its sheep brothers in a rush towards Su Yu, intending to deal with this intruder. Su Yu, however, remained calm. Despite only having one sliver of health left, meaning if the sheep touched him he would die, he didnt have any health potions on hand. But after all, Su Yu was a yer who had undergone the baptism (destruction) of high-level monsters. In his past life, Su Yus skills were honed to be outstanding in the face of high-level monstersunching attacks as saturated as a bullet hell game. To Su Yu, the goat boss, although an Exceptional level boss, was not worth mentioning. Facing the sheep herds attack, Su Yu urately predicted the movement trajectory of the goat boss and skillfully dodged its charge with a swift move. The he drank a bottle of [Junior Wisdom Potion], which increased his intelligence by 10 points. Next, he used the [Ice Arrow] scroll in his left hand and the [Lightning Bolt] spell in his right hand with his wand. -60 -88 The two attacks hit the goat boss, reducing its health by 18% immediately. Under the effect of the [Ice Arrow] scroll, its movement speed also decreased by 20%. Furthermore, this [Lightning Bolt] triggered a 40% chance of the [Paralysis] effect, rendering the goat boss immobile. However, Su Yu did not continue to deal with the goat boss, but instead prioritized handling its underlings, the little sheep. Compared to their leader, the sheep followers seemed as weak as paper. Su Yu stood still, repeatedly casting his spells. [Lightning Bolt]! [Fireball Skill]! -70 -102 -71 The 5 sheep followers had no chance to get close to Su Yu as they were turned into beams of light under his attack. After dealing with the sheep followers, Su Yu turned his attention to the goat boss. While dodging the goat bosss attacks, he continued to hurl spells one after another. The goat bosss health quickly decreased to less than 50%. The goat boss possessed a simple AI system. Faced with Su Yus mad rush of spell attacks, it started to feel fear. So, it stopped attacking Su Yu and turned to run in the opposite direction. The boss actually tried to escape! But how could Su Yu let the duck in the pot fly away? He chased after the goat boss, continuing his attack with [Ice Arrow] scroll and [Lightning Bolt]. [Lightning Bolt] only had a 0.5 second casting time and its power was great. The goat boss had barely run a few steps before its health dropped below 20%. Knowing that its remaining health was not enough to escape Su Yus attack, it suddenly turned around and used its newly cooled down [Jumping Stomp], leaping toward Su Yu trying to squash him. But Su Yu only got hit by the goat bosss skill because he was distracted earlier. Now, with his full attention, it was impossible for the goat boss to hit him. Su Yu quickly calcted the goat bosss trajectory and positioned himself outside its skill range. Boom! The goat bosss four hooves smashed down where Su Yu had been standing, causing a small seismic wave within a few meters. But Su Yu was just at the spot where the seismic wave didnt reach, and he wasnt hurt at all. Then he released [Lightning Bolt] again and threw a [Fireball Skill] magic scroll as well. -85 -63 Meh` The goat bosss health was drained and it fell helplessly to the ground. Ding! Youve killed [Slope Sheep Leader (Excellent) lv4], earning 80 Experience Points. After killing over 400 sheep, Su Yus experience bar was almost full now. With the additional 80 points he just gained, thest gap was finally filled. A dazzling golden light shed around him. He leveled up to Level 3! After reaching Level 3, Su Yus spell power naturally increased to 28 points. Moreover, after leveling up, the [New Moon Wand Lv3] dropped by the [ck Boar Leader] could finally be used! Su Yu enhanced the [New Moon Wand] to a rare quality. [New Moon Wand Lv3 (Rare)] Spell Power: 16 Intelligence +5 Magic Recovery Speed +5 The [New Moon Wand] reced the [Novice Wand]. Compared to the [Novice Wand], the [New Moon Wand] increased Su Yus spell power by 8 points, bringing it to an astonishing 34 points on his stat panel! Probably even a Level 10 wizard doesnt have a stat panel as high as mine! Su Yu was quite thrilled. Considering his high damage output with the rare [Lightning Bolt], other mage yers might not have such scary output even at Level 20! This was the terrifying effect of a legendary talent and unlimited resourcesbined! Chapter 9 - 9 9. Goat boss drops, 【Frost Shield】_1 9 9. Goat boss drops, Frost Shield_1 Trantor: 549690339 Besides Experience Points, the loot dropped by the Mountain Goat boss was the most attractive part. Su Yu walked up and searched through the corpse of the Mountain Goat boss. As a Level 4 boss and the first to be killed server-wide, the loot from the Mountain Goat boss was extremely generous! [Rock Cut Sword (Excellent) lv4], [Linen Gloves (Excellent) lv4], skill scroll [Fatal Strike (Excellent)], skill scroll [Frost Shield (Common)], and [Mountain Goat Leaders Horn (Excellent)]X1. Amazing, another skill scroll has dropped! And its the [Fatal Strike], a top-notch skill for warriors! Su Yus eyes lit up. [Fatal Strike (Excellent)]: Use your weapon to deliver a furious strike on the target in front of you, inflicting physical damage equivalent to 170% of your attack power. The lower the targets HP, the more damage dealt, up to a maximum of 340% of your attack power. Cooldown time is 3 seconds, with a rage consumption of 10 points. Learning level: lv1 Fatal Strike is especially useful skill for warriors in the early stages and is incredibly mighty for defeating wild bosses and instance bosses! A lone warrior who learns Fatal Strike at this stage will be sought after by the top five guilds nationwide, and they will also ce great importance in training them. Unfortunately, only warriors can learn Fatal Strike, Su Yu cant use it at all. He could only throw the skill scroll into his backpack. Better sell it when I get back to town! Although he isnt short of cash, selling it would be the fastest and easiest. Other than the Fatal Strike skill scroll, the Mountain Goat boss has also generously dropped another skill scroll. [Frost Shield (Common)]: Utilize the power of frost to form a protective shield around you that can absorb damage 200% equal to your spell power. If you are struck by a melee attack while the Frost Shield is active, it will slow down the attack speed and movement speed of the attacking melee unit by 20% for 5 seconds. Instant cast,sts for 60 seconds, cooldown time is 60 seconds, and the mana cost is 10 points. Learning level: lv1 Frost Shield is a must-have for any solo ice magician in the early stages. Frost Shield can withstand 2-3 hits from a monster melee attack, while also slowing them down, making kiting easier. In Su Yus past life, every mage start their journey by trying every means to save up spiritual energy coins and then purchase the skill scrolls of Frost Shield and Ice Arrow from the goods pile (simr to an auction house) in the beginners vige, which allowed them to level up on their own. As a former mage yer, Su Yu is very familiar with this technique. So without much thought, he clicked to use it directly, and spent 1,100 spiritual energy coins to enhance Frost Shield to Rare blue quality as well. [Frost Shield (Rare)]: Use the power of frost to form a protective shield around you, absorbing damage equivalent to 400% of your spell power. While Frost Shield is active, if you are hit by a melee attack, the melee units attacking you will have their attack speed and movement speed reduced by 40% for 5 seconds. Instant cast,sts for 60 seconds, cooldown time is 60 seconds, and the mana cost is 30 points. Having learned a new skill, Su Yu waved a hand and the spell for Frost Shield was cast. Ice magic gathered around his body and eventually formed a shield resembling an eggshellposed of transparent ice crystals. Looking at the familiar egg-shell like shield, Su Yu couldnt help but feel a touch of emotion: Sigh! I finally have some self-defense ability. But the magic consumption of Frost Shield is as high as 30 points, it looks like I need to find some gear that can boost my mana! Su Yus current mana cap is 140 points, and a [Beginner Mana Potion] recovers 100 points of mana. During the process of leveling up and fighting the boss, Su Yu didnt stop drinking potions. Each time his mana ran out, he would take a swig to replenish it. But now he had drank so much mana potion that he could taste the bitterness in his mouth. It would be best to obtain one or two pieces of gear that could raise his mana limit so he wouldnt have to keep drinking potions. I remember theres a hidden task in the beginners vige that rewards an excellent-quality essory. This essory can significantly boost the mana limit, which suits me well at this moment. Su Yu thought. Checking his backpack, it was filled with all sorts of gear and materials, with only 37 [Beginner Mana Potions] left. Nevermind, Ill head back to town to resupply,plete my essory task, then return for more leveling. After Su Yu made his decision, he left the monster zone and headed towards the beginners vige. A few minutester, Su Yu returned to the beginner vige, Nn Vige. Nn Vige was bustling as usual, with countless yersing in and out. Some were busy leveling up, others were sightseeing, treating the game as a Travel Simtor. As soon as Su Yu arrived at the entrance to the vige, yers noticed the level above his head, and immediate cries of shock rang out: Oh my god, its a level 3! We actually have a level 3 bigshot in our beginners vige! Wifey,e over here now! This guys amazing! Boss, how did you level up so quickly? Any tips to share? Boss, are you a solo yer? Do you want to join our guild? We are the Emperor Blood ys the Sky guild Soon, Su Yu was surrounded by arge group of yers who all looked at him with envy. Su Yu was familiar with these situations as he had been surrounded like this in his past life too. But in his past life, he had been surrounded by beauties, while this time, he was surrounded by burly guys, which made him feel considerably lessfortable. Left with no choice, Su Yu hid his name and level, before saying to the group: Everyone, no need to envy me. I just happened toe across a hidden task that awarded lots of Experience Points. If you take your time exploring the game, youlle across such tasks sooner orter. After speaking, Su Yu turned around and squeezed out from the least crowded spot. Everyone believed what Su Yu said. Seeing Su Yu leaving, they didnt pry any further and instead started discussing amongst themselves on how to find hidden tasks. However, four or five yers persistently chased after him, shouting: Big guy, where did you ept that hidden task? Boss, are you interested in joining our guild? Leveling is so hard. Boss, can you train me? There are rewards~ Thest sentence was said by a pretty girl. But Su Yu didnt even give them a nce, he quickly ran into the streets of the beginners vige. Su Yus boots were enhanced and hence, his movement speed was faster than other yers. After leading these yers round the beginners vige for two rounds, he sessfully shook off these pursuers. Sigh! Looks like I cant show my level anymore. Otherwise, Ill be encircled wherever I go and thats too troublesome. Su Yu sighed to himself while heading towards the beginners vige goods pile. He was nning to auction off the loot from the two bosses. Chapter 10 - 10 10. [Tear of Savi Goddess]_1 10 10. [Tear of Savi Goddess]_1 Trantor: 549690339 In front of the warehouse, arge group of yers has gathered in the small square, setting up stalls and shouting out their wares. Look and see! Level 2 material [Goblin leather], only 1 spiritual energy coin each, tailors should not miss this opportunity! Level 3 material [Wild Boar Meat], limited amount, hurry up if you want to buy. Level 1 standard leather shoulder pads. Even though the warehouse could be used to sell items, putting items for sale in the warehouse costs at least 1 spiritual energy coin as a service fee. Many yers are reluctant to spend this, and instead resort to street vending to dispose of items they no longer require. Walking slowly down the streets, Su Yu is searching for any good bargains. But the game hasnt been up for very long, and the yers havent had a chance to acquire any valuable items yet. After going around without finding anything he wanted, Su Yu turned to enter the warehouse. Inside the warehouse, Su Yu ced all the equipment, materials, and skill scrolls dropped by the bosses that he didnt need onto the shelf for sale. Skill scrolls [Mortal Strike (Superior)], [Rock Cut Sword (Superior) lv4], [ck Iron Boots (Superior) lv3], [Wild Boar Leaders Tusk (Superior)] x2, [Hillside Sheep Leaders Horn (Superior)] These valuable items were all listed by Su Yu in auction mode for sale, with a minimum bid of 1 spiritual energy coin. There is no upper limit for the auction price and it willst for 24 hours. Then, Su Yu shelved his concerns about his items and left the warehouse to search for the hidden quest that awards a blue item. At the entrance of Wolf King Valley, west of Nn Vige. Thats where Su Yu met the woodcutter from his memories, the one involved in a hidden quest. The woodcutter was a middle-aged uncle with fiery red facial hair. Currently, he was struggling to transport tworge bundles of firewood back to the vige. Upon seeing the woodcutter, Su Yu approached him: Uncle, I heard you listened to the song of Goddess Savi two days ago? There were a total of 20 stages in the hidden quest for the blue item. The tenth and the ultimate stages were the most difficult ones. Thest stage involves dealing with a tricky boss, whereas the tenth one is a decryption quest. Through the decryption quest, the yer would learn that this woodcutter, Sam, heard the song of Goddess Savi two days ago. By talking to the woodcutter with this clue, you would be able to activate the next stage, i.e., the eleventh quest stage. However, as a veteran yer of Evolution, Su Yu knew that it was not necessarily to start the hidden quest from the first stage. If a yer has the necessary quest item or knows the voicemand to activate a certain stage, then that yer can skip the insignificant early stages and proceed directly to theter stages of the quest. As Su Yu expected, the woodcutter responded to his words. Upon hearing from Su Yu, the woodcutter put down his bundles of wood with relief, andughed: Adventurer, I guess it must have been that little girl Annie who told you, right? Of course. Su Yu responded nonchntly. Great! But I am in a hurry to cook. If you help me carry these two bundles of wood back home, I will tell you the story about the song of Goddess Savi. the woodcutter grinned. Ding! Hidden quest [Savi Goddesss Tear (11/20)] activated, do you ept? I ept! Immediately epting the quest, Su Yu enthusiastically took over the two bundles of wood. Uncle, let me walk you home now! As for any bandits who may try to rob you of your wood along the way, Ill handle them too. Saying this, Su Yu carried the wood, and briskly started heading towards the vige. The eleventh stage of [Savi Goddesss Tear] is an escort mission. During the process of delivering the wood, yers will be attacked twice by a total of six bandits, attempting to snatch away the bundles of wood the yer is carrying. The yer who had previouslypleted this quest made a post on the discussion forum, criticizing the game developers quite straightforwardly. What kind of bandit would rob firewood? Whoever designed this quest must be out their mind! Although the yers criticisms were reasonable and widely agreed upon by the gamingmunity, a dramatic scene unfolded: The day after this yer made his criticisms, he was permanently banned from the game without any exnation from the game officials. This incident sparked a heated discussion among the yers and was even chosen as one of the Evolutions Most Bizarre Events of the Year. That was why Su Yu had a deep impression of this hidden quest. Upon hearing Su Yus confident deration, the woodcutter looked at him in confusion, Adventurer, why would bandits want to snatch our firewood? Its not worth much. Su Yu paused, Who am I supposed to ask about this? Lets hurry up! If we dont hurry, Jenny, the widow of old William, would end up going elsewhere! Okay, adventurer! At the mention of Jennys name, the woodcutter immediately hastened his pace to keep up with Su Yu. As Su Yu was taking on the secret quest, what he didnt know was that the equipment, skill scrolls, and materials that he had put up for auction on the Chinese server had caused a sensation! The No.002 newbie vigeWind Spring Vige. Unlike other newbie viges, arge guild named Emperor Blood ys the Sky has reserved the level 2 monster zone at Wind Spring Vige. However, it was not definitively monopolized. The Emperor Blood ys the Sky guild had imed half of the leveling zone, leaving the other half essible tomon yers. The ordinary yers, gathered in one half, were killing Goblins while casting dissatisfied looks at the members of Emperor Blood ys the Sky. However, they did notbine forces to attack the opposing guild. A group of passionate yers did rally to challenge Emperor Blood ys the Sky earlier, but they had all been sent to reflect offline by the guild. The remaining yers were just a scattered crowd. Even though they knew they could outmatch Emperor Blood ys the Sky if they united, they chose to silently bear the oppression and focus on gaining experience. In the center of the reserved leveling zone, the Guild Master of Emperor Blood ys the Sky, with a superior quality level 2 long sword in hand, was leveling up amidst a group of beautiful women. The surrounding members of the guild were busy beating the Goblins to low health, then leading them to their Guild Master tond the finishing blows. Then a sh of golden light swept past, showing that the Guild Master had sessfully leveled up to level 3. The surrounding members of the guild immediately gathered around, congratting him loudly: Congrattions on your level up, boss! Our boss is definitely the first level 3 yer in the game! Our boss will also be the first yer to reach level 10 and enter the main cities! Our boss will surely be the strongest yer in the game! Our guild Emperor Blood ys the Sky will also be the most powerful guild in the game! The underlings kept heaping praises, as if they were trying to dere their boss the greatest yer in the history of gaming. Amused by his underlingspliments, the boss of the guild couldnt help but smile. He flipped his hand, and a level 3 ordinary quality long sword appeared in his hand. His equipment was also changing constantly. In just a short while, he had changed into several different pieces of level 3 ordinary equipment. The praises from his subordinates had be even more enthusiastic. However, at this moment, a youth with the Assassin profession and eyes as sharp as an eagles appeared in the level 2 training area: Emperor Blood, theres been a major incident! Chapter 11 - 11 11, Contradiction Fermentation_1 11 11, Contradiction Fermentation_1 Trantor: 549690339 Ling Feng? Whats going on? Emperor Blood ys the Sky waved his hand, and the minions around him immediately fell silent. One of his crew members was still being attacked by a goblin, but he stopped all movements, allowing himself to be beaten to death by the goblin without daring to make a sound. The young man known as Ling Feng nced around expressionlessly, then responded: Emperor Blood, our people discovered a level 4, green quality one-handed sword at the warehouse. Level 4? Green quality?! Are you sure? Emperor Blood ys the Skys pupils narrowed. Very sure! Ling Feng nodded, his expression still as calm as still water: Along with the level 4 one-handed sword, there was also the material of a level 4 boss, Slope Sheep Leaders Horn. A yer must have beaten a level 4 boss and put up these items for auction. Beat a level 4 boss could it be Zhan Tians crew? Emperor Blood ys the Skys eyebrows knitted together: But it doesnt make sense. Why didnt they keep these excellent pieces of equipment for themselves and instead put them up for auction? Zhan Tianjian himself is a warrior! No, no, it wasnt Zhan Tians guild that beat the boss. Ling Feng exined sternly: I suspect it was a lone yer who single-handedly killed the level 4 boss and got these pieces of equipment and materials. Since he couldnt use them himself, he decided to put them up for auction. A solo yer?! Emperor Blood ys the Sky couldnt believe it. He currently had half level 3 equipment and a level 3 one-handed sword. He definitely wouldnt be able to beat a level 2 boss Goblin Leader in a solo fight. Beat a level 4 boss in a solo fight? How was that possible? Ling Feng confidently stated, I am certain my deduction is correct because this solo yer also listed a green quality skill scroll C Fatal Blow Ling Feng borated on the properties of Fatal Blow, concluding with: This skill can be said to be a premium skill for the warrior profession to ze new trails. No guild would put a skill scroll of this level up for sale. So its likely that the one who defeated the level 4 boss was a solo yer, and this yer is not a warrior. After hearing Ling Fengs description of Fatal Blow, Emperor Blood ys the Sky nced at his own skill bar. His only damaging skill Heavy Strike could only deal 120% physical damage, while Fatal Blow could do 170%-340%! Both had a cooldown of 3 seconds, but his skill seems trash inparison! Whats the name of the yer who listed the items? Emperor Blood ys the Skys expression turned serious. Hes called Nemesis. Ling Feng answered solemnly. Five minutester, at the warehouse in the 002 newbie vige. Emperor Blood ys the Sky and his minions rushed over hastily. By then, the square outside the warehouse was already crowded with yers. My god! There really are level 4 boss materials at the warehouse! I havent even reached level 2 yet, and others are already battling level 4 bosses! Whichrge guild has such capability? They actually managed to beat a level 4 boss? The yer running this auction is called Nemesis? Which guild is he from? Shouldnt such good equipment and skill be kept withinrger guilds? Why are they selling it? yers gathered around the warehouse square, discussing amongst themselves. However, at the entrance of the warehouse, Emperor Blood ys the Sky encountered an unwee guest blocking the door. This unwee guest also had a group of followers and was currently watching Emperor Blood ys the Sky with a smile on his face. Emperor Blood ys the Sky gestured for his followers to stop. He then coldly looked at this unwee guest: Zhan Tianjian? You! Why arent you in the first newbie vige, instead ofing to the second newbie vige to stir things up? The Zhan Tianjian on the opposite side was a middle-aged uncle with a muscr face, who had clearly experienced many things in life. At that moment, he was leaning on his sword, looking yfully at Emperor Blood ys the Sky: The game has only been live for a few hours, and I heard that someone has been monopolizing training spots, destroying the gaming environment. As thergest guild in the game, we, of course, have to intervene! You sure are nosy! Emperor Blood ys the Sky was very unsatisfied. Emperor Blood ys the Sky also knew that currently with the manpower in the game, they were no match for Zhan Tians guild. So he changed the subject: Im here to check out a green quality skill scroll. Is the guild leader of Zhan Tian blocking the entrance to prevent us from going in? Of course not. Zhan Tianjian smiled: The warehouse is a public ce, I wouldnt interfere with anyones right to use public facilities. Of course, we also dont allow anyone to interfere with other peoples rights to use public facilities, like training spots. Please! Zhan Tianjian smiled and did a please gesture, then went into the warehouse first. Emperor Blood ys the Sky red at Zhan Tianjian, gesturing for his followers to go in as well. They then also entered the warehouse. The interior of the warehouse, like the Mages cottage, was in a separate dimension. Therefore, after entering the warehouse, Emperor Blood ys the Sky could no longer see Zhan Tianjian. The only ones visible to him were the NPCs and his teammates. Emperor Blood ys the Skys crew did not see anyone from Zhan Tians guild in the warehouse, so they breathed a sigh of relief and started bbering: Who the hell is that Zhan Tianjian guy? Who does he think he is? When all our people get into the game, well show him Shut up! Emperor Blood ys the Sky ordered coldly. The minions immediately shut their mouths, holding their breath and not daring to even sneeze. Emperor Blood ys the Sky nced coldly at his minions and began to look at the details of the skill scroll in the auction interface in the warehouse. Seeing that the attributes for the Fatal Blow skill scroll were exactly as Ling Feng had said, and the current bidding price had soared to 500 spiritual energy coins, Emperor Blood ys the Sky took a deep breath: Ling Feng, we must get this skill scroll! But Emperor Blood, we dont have that much money Ling Feng started, Not only is Zhan Tianjian bidding against us, but theres also a guy named Snow Leopard from newbie vige 1 bidding for the scroll. Snow Leopard? Emperor Blood ys the Sky frowned, he had never heard of this person. Ling Feng exined: Snow Leopard is the guild leader of a popr guild in the newbie vige 1, their guild is called The Relevant Department. The Relevant Department? What a strange name. Emperor Blood ys the Sky rubbed his chin: But we must get this skill scroll! No matter the cost! But I know we dont have enough money, but I have a n. You will take a team to newbie vige 3 to 7 and collect an entry fee from all yers entering the vige. Each time they enter, they must pay at least one spiritual energy coin! One yer pays one spiritual energy coin, a newbie vige has tens of thousands of people; we can collect tens of thousands of spiritual energy coins! Then well have money. Emperor Blood ys the Sky was full of confidence. Ling Feng was stunned by this n: Emperor Blood! Although our guild has chosen a chaotic and evil path, this could incite public outrage from all yers! It may not be long before they all band together to kick us out of the game! Are you really this stupid? Emperor Blood ys the Sky couldnt help but tap Ling Fengs head with the hilt of his sword: During this operation, you guys will pretend to be from Zhan Tians guild. Its Zhan Tians guild that charges all yers an entry fee, and it has nothing to do with us, Emperor Blood ys the Sky! Understand? Chapter 12 - 12 12, Annie and [Giant bear Tibbers]_1 12 12, Annie and [Giant bear Tibbers]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing Emperor Blood ys the Skys n, the younger brothers eyes lit up: Brilliant, boss! Only our boss coulde up with such a perfect n! Heh, the Zhan Tian guild? They think they can do whatever they want just because they have more people? They still need to grovel before our boss! We must tarnish their reputation! The younger brothers were wildly praising Emperor Blood ys the Sky, at the same time, they were all eagerly preparing to participate in this operation. Ling Feng was not the type to offer ttery, but he nodded, Understood. Ill notify Zhen Hong now and get him to lead the team. Emperor Blood ys the Sky patted Ling Feng on the shoulder: Go on, but remember not to give ourselves away during this operation. All the elites in the game are concentrated in the first few newbie viges. Viges 6-8 are devoid of any elites. You guys can start from there. Alright. Ling Feng answered. Emperor Blood ys the Sky swept his gaze over all his junior brothers, Apart from this operation, keep an eye out for this person called Nemesis. If you acquire any news about him, inform me immediately! Understood, boss! the younger brothers assured him in unison. Meanwhile, in the same warehouse. Zhan Tianjian stared at the auction interface detailing the [Rampage Sheep Leaders Horn] in silence. Ever since he started ying the game, he always believed that he couldpletely control the game with his past gaming experience and followers. But now, with the appearance of this level 4 boss material, he suddenly found his control slipping. Zhan Tianjian turned to his deputy: Qingli, any news on Nemesis? Qingli was a beautiful young woman. She shook her head with a stern face: Ive messaged most of the high-ranking members in the guild, none of them have heard anything aboutwait! Its a private message from East Mountain Sword. He knows about Nemesis! Immediately, she copied the message, forwarding it to guild leader Zhan Tianjian. East Mountain Sword? Isnt that kid in the 6th newbie vige? Zhan Tianjian frowned slightly, quickly reading the private message. The content of the message was: East Mountain Sword had encountered Nemesis in the level 3 monster zone, he invited him into the guild but was rejected along with a series of other issues. Zhan Tianjian read the message over and over again, three times in total. After reading, he closed the message window, and turned to Qingli with a serious look: Our original n was to stop Emperor Blood ys the Sky from monopolizing the market, but now our n has changed. We are heading to the 6th newbie vige immediately! Alright, boss. Whilst all the newbie viges were in chaos due to Su Yus listed equipment and skill scrolls, Su Yu was also nearing the end of his hidden quest. Outstanding Hidden Quest [Tear of Savie Goddess (20/20)] In the deep forest west of the vige. Su Yu was slowly walking with a 7-8 years old, red-hooded, cute-looking loli NPC. The forest was dark due to the tall trees blocking out the sun. It was nearing dusk and the forest was dimly lit, the visibility was extremely low. Further in the forest, the ghostly howling and the feral roars of beasts were faintly discernible, making it all the more terrifying. The NPC lolis name was Annie. She was very scared, looking around at her surroundings in terror, her small hands icy cold: Uncle, is my toy bear Tibbers really here? Of course, Aunt Marguerite told us so, she cant be wrong! Su Yuforted her whilst stroking the top of Annies head. At the same time, he was also mentally calcting, Ive walked 3500 steps now, just 100 more steps to reach the 3600 steps indicated by the quest. Su Yu nodded, marked the spot with his foot, then turned Annie 90 degrees, changing their direction from north to east. Finally, at the 3600th step, Su Yu and little loli Annie arrived at the entrance of a ck mountain cave. On seeing this cave, Annie tightly tugged at Su Yus sleeve, extremely frightened, Uncle, do the two of us really have to go in? Its so dark in there! Of course were not going in there, why would we? Su Yu replied with a smile. Then, bending over, he parted a seemingly unremarkable shrub at his feet. From within, he retrieved a toy bear as long as an adults forearm and handed it over to the little girl, Annie. [Teddy Bear Tibbers (Excellent)] Note: Annies favourite toy. You could say that the final step of this mission is super tricky! The tricky part is: when a yer has walked 3600 steps to arrive at the entrance of a cave, their first reaction is definitely to enter the cave for a look. Moreover, the little girl Annie even gave a hint, suggesting that both of them should go inside. But Su Yu knew, the cave was full of instant-death traps, and the real mission item was hidden in the bushes at the entrance of the cave. This just counted as one of the disgusting missions designed against human fixed thinking. After receiving [Teddy Bear Tibbers], a look of happiness danced about on the little girl Annies face. She was brimming with joy and cheerfully hopping around: Thank you uncle! Thanks for bringing me here, or else I would have never seen Tibbers again in my life! No need to be formal. Su Yu ruffled Annies hair again, Its gettingte now, lets quickly return to the vige, or else your dad will be worried about you. I cant do that, uncle. Annie tightly hugged Tibbers with an ever radiant smile, I really appreciate your help in rescuing Tibbers from the bushes. But if we just leave like this, wont the bushes feel sad? Su Yu: . He turned to look at the bushes at his feet. These things can actually feel sad? Annie went on saying, So, uncle, can you stay here and keep the bushespany? I think Before Su Yu could finish his sentence, Annie interrupted him, You dont really get a say in this, uncle. Saying this, she tossed the toy bear in her hand. The toy bear grewrger with the wind and soon transformed into a giant brown bear, standing upright at a towering height of 4 meters! [Giant bear Tibbers (lv6)] HP: 800 Tibbers had the same amount of health as the goat boss Su Yu had just killed. Tibbers! Take care of him! Little Annie yelled. On hearing Anniesmand, the giant bear immediately roared and begun sprinting towards Su Yu. But Su Yu showed no signs of panic. He drank a bottle of [Primary Wisdom Potion], granting him +10 intelligence. With a wave of his left hand, an Ice Arrow scroll was ripped apart. The activated Frost Arrow brutally mmed into the Giant Bear Tibbers. At the same time, his right hands wand was also flickering with dazzling lightning. Crackle! A [Lightning Bolt] flew out of the wand, striking directly at the forehead of [Giant Bear Tibbers], leaving a charring mark. -55 (Ice Arrow Scroll) -101 The totalbined damage instantly reduced [Giant bear Tibbers] HP by 20%! But just at this moment, little Annieunched an attack towards Su Yu as well. With a casual wave of her hand, she sent a huge, magical fireball, [Fractured Fire], darting toward Su Yu. Su Yu shed a slight smile. He did not even bother to activate his [Frost Shield]. With a swift dodge. The magical fireball brushed past him, inflicting no harm whatsoever. While Su Yu continued his onught, dealing another double hits of damage, pushing [Giant bear Tibbers] health bar down below 60%. Chapter 13 - 13 13, [Tear of the Goddess], mainline task! _1 13 13, [Tear of the Goddess], mainline task! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Anniepletely didnt expect Su Yu to have such high damage, just two rounds of spells knocked 40% of her partners health points! She hurriedly released her second skill C [Magma Shield]. Dense fire elements wrapped her and [Giant Bear Tibbers] within, adding an extrayer of thick fire element magic shield to the two of them. Moreover, after acquiring the [Magma Shield], the movement speed of [Giant Bear Tibbers] greatly increased too! This significantly heightened the threat towards Su Yu! The magic shield was very sturdy, and the increased speed made the giant bear even more terrifying, but Su Yus expression remained extremely calm. Again, two spells were casted out, interweaving thunder and fire, causing the magic shield on [Giant Bear Tibbers] to crumble. Then, Su Yu executed a beautiful side flip, avoiding [Giant Bear Tibbers]s bear paw, while the magic glow in his hands lit up again. Despite [Giant Bear Tibbers] trying his utmost, he still couldnt touch this infuriating human in front of him. Annies fireballs were always just slightly off, always brushing past Su Yu, always just a tiny bit away from hitting him urately. Facing Su Yus all-out attack, the huge bears health points were rapidly depleted, and he copsed onto the ground with a loud crash. This powerful boss was easily defeated by Su Yu just like that! Actually, the process of the hidden mission was not meant to be like this. The attributes of [Giant Bear Tibbers] werent any different from other level 6 bosses. Furthermore, with little Annies spell harassment, an 8-level boss isnt as tricky to fight as this pair of Annie and the big bear! Ordinary yers simply would not have the capacity to defeat thisbination. The normal process of the mission should be to lead the huge bear into the cave behind and use the deadly traps within the cave to grind down [Giant Bear Tibbers], all while ensuring ones survival. The final steps of this mission primarily test wisdom and luck. However, Su Yu didnt opt for going into the cave, but instead directly killed [Giant Bear Tibbers] outside the cave. Perhaps, among all the yers, only Su Yu would have the confidence to do so! With [Giant Bear Tibbers] lying on the ground, the full 20-stage hidden mission was thoroughlypleted! Ding! Congrattions onpleting the excellent level hidden mission [Savi Goddesss Tear]! Reward: Experience Points X1000, [Tear of the Goddess (Excellent)] X1. At the same time, [Giant Bear Tibbers] swollen belly split open, spilling out a crystal clear droplet-shaped equipment. It was indeed the [Tear of the Goddess]! But Su Yu didnt rush to pick up this item. He smiled at little Annie, Annie, have you had enough fun? Would you like Uncle to take you home for dinner? Su Yu didnt attack Annie, because after the fight began, Annie entered an [Immune] state, unable to receive physical and magical damage. Little Annies face turned pale with anger. After [Giant Bear Tibbers] fell, she also lost the ability to continue using magic attacks on Su Yu. Hmph! Lets wait and see! Sooner orter, Ill trap you in these thistles just like Tibbers! Annie red fiercely at Su Yu, then turned and walked towards the forest. Tsk tsk, Im afraid you wont have the chance! Su Yu scratched his chin. Then he raised his hand, the scroll of [Fireball] was activated, and the bushes on the ground were burnt clean. With all the bushes burnt, how are you going to trap someone? Annie in the distance saw Su Yus actions, staggered and almost fell to the ground. But she didnt say anything more, and left the forest without looking back. On the other hand, Su Yu picked up [Tear of the Goddess]. [Tear of the Goddess (Excellent)] Jewelry Magic Points Limit +100 Characteristics: Each time you release a skill, the [Tear of the Goddess] will gain an additional 3 magic points limit, up to a maximum of 360 points. Note: The crystallization of Savi Goddesss tears implies misfortune and bad luck to a certain extent. Once the [Tear of the Goddess]s extra magic points reach the maximum, it will unlock the upgrade mission for the [Tear of the Goddess]. Unconsciously, Su Yu used the [Point Star Hand] to upgrade the [Tear of the Goddess] to a rare quality. [Tear of the Goddess (Rare)] essory Mana Capacity +150 Feature: For each skill you cast, [Tear of the Goddess] will gain an additional 3 points of mana capacity, up to a maximum of 450. [Tear of the Goddess] has no level limit for equipment. Moreover, a rare-quality [Tear of the Goddess], when fully stacked, can increase Mana by a staggering 600 points! Consider that Su Yu currently only has a Mana of 140, equipping it would mean an increase of several multiples to his Mana! But thats not the most important part. Su Yu stared at the Upgrade Task note in the [Tear of the Goddess], lost in thought. Upgrade Task?! Its actually equipment with an upgrade task! Subtle expressions appeared on Su Yus usually calm face. Despite having lived once before, he still found it hard to believe. ording to his memories from his past life, he knew clearly what equipment branded with the words Upgrade Task meant. This kind of equipment implies Mainline Tasks! The main questline in the world of the Evolution game! There are many routes for the mainline tasks in Evolution, and each routees with generous rewards. Epic and even legendary equipment, skills, and mounts are only produced from mainline tasks. It can be said that in the previous world, those who sessfullypleted mainline tasks were inevitably big shots! Without exception! In his previous life, Su Yu had only heard of the mainline tasks and upgradeable equipment but had not actually encountered them. He did not expect to encounter them this early in the game in this life! An excited emotion inevitably surfaced in Su Yus heart. But he also gave himself a silent warning: Dont take it lightly! Mainline Tasks arent easy toplete! The yer whopleted the [Tear of the Goddess] Task in the past life was permanently banned from the game, maybe its the punishment for failing the Mainline Task, must be cautious! Su Yu forced himself to calm down. After calming his mind, he headed towards the newbie vige. No matter what, he should first go to the wilderness area and get the [Tear of the Goddess] fully stacked! Just when Su Yu was returning to the newbie vige, at the entrance of Wolf King Valley, west of the newbie vige. Hey! Mister, I heard you heard Goddess Savis singing the day before yesterday? Snow Fall excitedly stopped a red-bearded woodcutter in front of her. She just epted a hidden task. After only doing ten rounds, she and her father leveled up to level 2, which was much faster than monster grinding! And the rewards for the hidden task were also generous, they both got a green-quality weapon, she was very excited about the uing task storyline. But the woodcutter dampened her excitement: Im sorry, miss, but my daughters Annies wish has already beenpleted by another adventurer. We dont need your help now. Meanwhile, Snow Fall and Snow Balm received the task failure notice. Snow Fall was stunned: Who was it? Who took our hidden task? Having a halfway done hidden taskpleted by someone else felt like having a fishbone stuck in her throat. Snow Balm then took a step forward and politely asked: Brother, can you tell me which adventurer that fulfilled Annies wish? Were good friends with Annie. We would like to know. I cant say that. Disregarding them, the woodcutter picked up his firwood and continued walking towards the vige. Without hurrying, Snow Balm took out a piece of [Wild Boar Meat] from his backpack and, with a smiling face, ran after him: Hey, bro, wait a minute! You must be very tired cutting wood in the mountains every day! This piece of wild boar meat is for you, take it back and make a soup, helps to replenish energy for you and Annie! Chapter 14 - 14 14. Charging for blocking the door? Su Yu steps in! _1 14 14. Charging for blocking the door? Su Yu steps in! _1 Trantor: 549690339 This piece of [Wild Boar Meat] had dropped earlier when the Snow Balm father-daughter duo and the five-man team of East Mountain Sword fought the [ck Wild Boar]. Snow Balm didnt know if the NPCs in Evolution could be bribed, but since she had the [Wild Boar Meat], she decided to give it a try. Upon seeing the [Wild Boar Meat], the woodcutters eyes widened. The wood he cut in a busy day would probably not be worth such arge piece of wild boar meat! So, the woodcutter wiped his salivating mouth and discreetly epted the meat, saying: Cough cough, Ill tell you, but you cant tell anyone else, okay? Sure, no problem. The Snow Balm father-daughter duos eyes lit up, and they eagerly awaited for him to speak. There was an adventurer named Nemesis the woodcutter said leisurely. After a while A resentful female voice echoed from the woods, Nemesis! I will remember you! At the same time, Su Yu was on his way back to the novice vige. But for some reason, he suddenly felt chilled to the bone. Whats going on? Did I forget to turn off the air conditioner in the rental house? I must remember to turn it off when I go eat. Su Yu thought and continued to walk forward. When he reached the vige entrance, Su Yu found that arge group of yers had gathered there, blocking the path into the vige. The yers were divided into two sides, arguing loudly, each person redder and more flustered than thest. On the inner side of the entrance, a well-equipped warrior was leading a group of over a hundred people, effectively barring the way into the vige. They confidently announced: Everyone, please do us a favor for the Zhan Tian Guild! Our leader has set his sights on a skill scroll in the goods station, but he doesnt have enough money. We need your generous donations. When our Zhan Tian Guild gets rich, we promise to pay back double of everything we received today! What we say, we will do! Su Yu took a look at this warriors name and was taken aback. He recognized this name, [Red-Eyed ck Dragon], a core member of the Emperor Blood ys the Sky Guild and quite a big shot in his past life. Why was he here all of a sudden? And pretending to be a member of the Zhan Tian Guild? But Su Yu wasnt in a hurry, he decided to keep watching. The yers at the vige entrance were angry: Why should we give you money because you dont have enough? Exactly! Our money doesnt just blow in with the wind! Youre charging an entry fee to the vige, have you no shame? Ive yed Magic Realm before and I thought Zhan Tian was a reputable guild! I really was blind! The yers outside the vige were indignant and denounced their opponents. The Red-Eyed ck Dragon wasnt taking theirints seriously, they refused to let anyone in without paying. The situation between the groups began to intensify and a standoffmenced. From this, Su Yu got a grasp of the situation. Turns out members of the Emperor Blood guild were posing as members of the Zhan Tian Guild and charging an entry fee to the vige. How interesting! Su Yu developed an interest in the situation and stood silently on the side, watching how things would unfold. A smug smile was stered across Red-Eyed ck Dragons face. He threatened, Without paying, I wont let anyone enter the vige! A group of rebels was just forced offline by us, want to try? Behind the Emperor Blood Guild, a group of ordinary yers (shills) who had already entered the vige also began to chime in: Everyone, calm down! Isnt it just one spiritual energy coin! Just pay the fee; its better than being forcibly kicked offline, right? Its better to pay the money and avoid disaster. Despite everything, Zhan Tian is thergest guild; we should give them some face. Under the persuasion of the yers (shills) who had entered the vige, a lot of the ordinary yers were starting to waver. Indeed, one spiritual energy coin wasnt much, its equivalent to running one mission, being kicked off for half an hour would be more of a loss. However, there were still a lot of yers who chose to stand their ground: You guys are full of shit! Just because you are arge guild, should we be oppressed? We have to put up with our bosss airs at work, our wifes tantrums at home, even the cat in our house is more privileged than us. Why should we tolerate this nonsense in a game too? Thats right! Lets fight them! Lets fight them together! I dont believe we cannot beat this damned Zhan Tian guild! The yers emotions were zing, a lot of them drew their weapons andunched an attack against Red-Eyed ck Dragon and the members of Emperor Blood. However, Red-Eyed ck Dragon sneered, Heh, overestimating yourself! Then he turned back and ordered: All of you, listen! Attack the ones who are leading! Understood! Members of the Emperor Blood guild sprang into action immediately, engaging inbat with the ordinary yers at the vige entrance. Since the yers were generally only level 1 or 2 and only knew one skill, the fight wasnt very exciting. But because there were over three hundred participants, there were constant shes of white light in the middle of the battlefield. Each white light sh signified a yer being killed. Su Yu watched calmly from the side. However, even without watching, he knew that Emperor Blood would have the upper hand. Although there were more average yers, theirck of unity made it hard for them to seed. Just as he expected, not long after the fight at the vige entrance started, Emperor Blood took control. The leading yers were the first to fall, their shes of white light signaling their demise. With the leaders gone, the morale of the remaining yers plummeted. Some yers were only thinking about their own survival, willing to sh but reluctant to sacrifice; and others were still debating about whether to pay the fee to avoid trouble, as it wouldnt be wise to make enemies with arge guild over a single spiritual energy coin. Each yer had different thoughts. The Emperor Blood members, on the other hand, with the promise of a payout from the guild leader, had no fear of dying and were willing to fight even if it meant getting killed. In addition, the members of Emperor Blood were of higher levels, had better equipment, and knew how to coordinate their attack. Although there were more ordinary yers, they started to falter and lose their ground. Seeing that the Emperor Blood Guild was about to take control of the situation, Red-Eyed ck Dragon shed a victorious smile: A disunited mob! Im giving you onest chance, pay the fee and leave! Or else, prepare to die! Hearing Red-Eyed ck Dragons words, some yers hesitated. Some ranged archers and mages even stopped their attacks and casting. Just then, Su Yu made his move! Su Yu had been waiting for a chance to retaliate against the Zhan Tian Guild. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, how could he not seize it? He didnt care if these people were from Emperor Blood, posing as Zhan Tians members. Su Yu stepped forward from the back line, raised his staff to cast a spell, and shouted: The Zhan Tian guild has gone too far! Do you think youre unbeatable because youre a part of arge guild? You will eventually be the enemy of all the yers! Red-Eyed ck Dragon nced at Su Yu and scoffed, Tch! A little magician too afraid even to show his name Crack! Su Yus [Lightning Bolt] spell hit its mark, directly striking Red-Eyed ck Dragon. -125! Having just leveled up to level 2 with only 120 hit points, Red-Eyed ck Dragon fell, his white light fading on the streets. The once arrogant dragon was now no more. Seeing Red-Eyed ck Dragon die instantly and the huge -125 that popped up over his head, the members of Emperor Blood and the other yers were all stunned. What the hell! 125 damage?! A full health, level 2 warrior was instantly killed?! What on earth is happening?! Everyone turned their heads to look at Su Yu, their eyes full of disbelief. Chapter 15 - 15 15, Su Yu, 1V100! _1 15 15, Su Yu, 1V100! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Facing the astonished gaze of the yers, Su Yu didnt provide any exnation, his hands never stopped moving. [Lightning Bolt] [Lightning Bolt] [Lightning Bolt] A [Lightning Bolt] was fired every 0.5 seconds. Sky Dragon, Giant God Soldier, Swift These core members of Emperor Blood guild had previously shone in the battle, but they seemed as feeble as paper mache now, falling apart under Su Yus attack. shes of white light shone one after another, signifying the Emperor Blood guilds elites being sent offline for reflection. Afterunching several [Lightning Bolts], Su Yu felt that his killing speed was too slow, considering that there were still eighty or ny people in Emperor Blood. So he started releasing [Lightning Bolts] with his right hand, waving his magic wand, and in his left hand he was tearing up scrolls for the [Fireball Skill], tossing them out just like he did when leveling up. Thunder and fire interweaved, causingrge shes of white light to appear within Emperor Bloods team. Despite being only one person, Su Yu produced an amount of damage that was greater than that caused by more than two hundred yers! Some yers recognized the magic scrolls in Su Yus hand and eximed emphatically: My god, those are [Fireball Skill Scrolls] sold at 50 spiritual energy coins each in the Magic Cottage! How many? 50 each?! I was overjoyed when I got a reward for a mission of 2 spiritual energy coins. A magic scroll that costs 50 coins? Is this for human use?! Holy hell, we are all new yers, why is he so rich? Are you sure hes a yer? Isnt he disguised as an NPC?! The surrounding yers widened their eyes, some were so surprised that their jaws dropped. Within seconds, Su Yu wiped out a dozen of Emperor Bloods yers with waves of spell attacks. However, there were still seventy or eighty yers left in Emperor Blood, especially the long-range archers and mages, who remained untouched by Su Yu and hence remained intact. One of the archer yers in the Emperor Blood team recollected himself and shouted: Its only him alone! Ranged yers pay attention. We kill him together! The other archers and mages recollected themselves from their surprise andunched a concerted attack against Su Yu. All of a sudden, dozens of arrows and magic projectiles were unleashed at Su Yu. Standing still on the spot and after gulping down a [Basic Intelligence Potion], Su Yu cast a [Frost Shield]. -1 -1 -1 -1 Su Yu had a high defense of 28 points, while the spell intensity and attack strength of the mages and archers from Emperor Blood were only around 10 points. A series of damage hit Su Yus [Frost Shield], but they could only deduct -1 from the shields life force! Under the effects of the potion, Su Yus [Frost Shield] had a whopping 160 points of shield value! Even if Su Yu stood motionless and allowed them to attack him, they wouldnt be able to break the [Frost Shield] within half a minute, let alone harm Su Yu. After being collectively attacked from afar, Su Yu also set his sights on these ranged fighters. [Lightning Bolt] [Fireball Skill] Each spell eliminated an enemy. Emperor Bloods team was swiftly losing members with the ranged fighters receiving most of the attention from Su Yu. 80 60 40 The battle had onlysted for more than twenty seconds, and yet over half of Emperor Bloods team had been ughtered by Su Yu! Their counterattacks couldnt even break Su Yus [Frost Shield], plunging them into despair. The healers were even more bewildered. Faced with the emergency of teammates life points disappearing one by one, they desperately looked around, finding no solutions. Who the hell is this?! The game had only been online for three hours, why is he ughtering them as if they were chickens? Are we all even ying the same game? The number of people in Emperor Bloods team continued to fall. When the number dropped to 30, they gave up resistance and looked at Su Yu with disbelief, confusion, and bewilderment. Noticing that Emperor Bloods people were no longer resisting, Su Yu stopped. In Evolution, killing other yers didnt result in a red name nor any penalties, but the killed yers would have their game time forcibly reduced. Failure in tasks could potentially result in the ount being banned. This feature of forcing yers to leave is indeed a significant characteristic of this game. At this time, there were still more than 200 ordinary yers standing behind Su Yu. They were also looking at Su Yu with astonished expressions, as if they were looking at an alien. Su Yu turned around and bowed to the dumbfounded ordinary yers: Dont be surprised, everyone. My high damage is due to thepletion of a hidden mission. A high-ranking NPC who happened to pass by gave me a BUFF and the scrolls are temporary scrolls given by the NPC. If you do more hidden tasks, you will also have the opportunity to get them. Su Yu said this so that the regr yers wouldnt remember him. Otherwise, if he were to log in every day and be surrounded by a group of yers staring at him, it would be quite troublesome. Hearing Su Yus exnation, most yers quickly believed him: So it was a BUFF from a hidden task, no wonder. I knew it! How can there be a 1V100 situation? Hasnt the gamepany considered the bnce? Are hidden missions so powerful? I wanna do hidden tasks too! Anyway, bro, you really helped us get our revenge! You taught this gang of bastards from Zhan Tian a brutal lesson! The yers discussed enthusiastically. After apuse from the crowd, Su Yu continued: But having said that, you all shouldnt be afraid of Zhan Tian guild! If the big guilds engage in misdeeds, they must also pay the price. How about this? Lets all go to the official forum to condemn them, and let them know that we ordinary yers arent easy to bully! In response to Su Yus words, the yers echoed their agreement: Right! This friend is absolutely correct! We cant let the big guilds run rampant! Theyre doing this just after the serverunched, whats next?! Lets go, lets go! Go offline! When ites to online fights, Ive never been afraid of anyone! I have theplete video of this event. Im going to post it on the official forum now, all of you shoulde and upvote my post! Sure! Definitely! After stirring up the yers, Su Yu found an opportunity to sneak out of the crowd unnoticed. He had done all he could to crackdown on Zhan Tian guild. After walking to the Magic Cottage, he bought a sufficient amount of supplies from the old mage, and then logged out on the spot. Back in reality, the first thing he saw was clearly the helmet disy board. But the disy board indicated that it required 12 hours of login before the [Realization] of his power could be activated. Helpless, he could only take off the gaming helmet. After stretching a bit and adjusting the air conditioner to a higher temperature, Su Yu casually ordered a take-out. While waiting for the take-out, Su Yu went online to search for UFO, unidentified flying object, and alien rted news. Calcting from the timeline, the advance team of the Skuru people should have already reached Blue Star and many residents should have seen the Skuru spaceship. Unfortunately, in the year 2120, the government had stringent control over the inte. Su Yu searched for twenty minutes and still hadnt found the information he wanted. Twenty minutester, his take-out arrived. While eating, Su Yu opened the official forum of Evolution. He wanted to know if the yers condemnation of Zhan Tian guild on the forum had any effect. Chapter 16 - 16: 16, Forum Controversy_l Chapter 16: Forum Controversy_l Trantor: 549690339 Upon entering the official forum, Su Yu immediately saw the bold, brightly highlighted pinned post C 1V100! Mysterious yer sweeps aside the tyrannical Zhan Tian Guild, the results are thought-provoking. Opening the post, Su Yu saw aplete third-person video footage where the Zhan Tian Guild was charging an entrance fee to the vige and having a dispute with ordinary yers, eventually leading to a massacre. The yer who posted the video was very considerate, meticulously describing the causes and consequences of the incident. At the end of the post, they called out, The Zhan Tian Guilds actions have reached an intolerable level! If they dare to charge an entrance fee just after the server opened, what will they do next? Will they monopolize game resources? We must stand up and resist the Zhan Tian Guild! The Zhan Tian Guild must apologize! They mustpensate the yers that were harmed! The post was published twenty minutes ago and instantly exploded on the official forum. Many yers replied, expressing their support: Support! We cant allow the big guilds to behave unscrupulously! As a witness, the Zhan Tian Guild really disgusts me! For just a tiny profit they treat ordinary yers this way, such a guild needs to be expelled from the game! My friend just became a reserve member of the Zhan Tian Guild, hes been boasting about it to me. Im gonna kick him out right now! We need to distance ourselves from these bastards! But that guy who did the IVIOO is so freaking amazing! Even if he was using the BUFF given by the NPC. If it were me, even with the BUFF, I wouldnt dare offend a big guild like Zhan Tian! The yers passionately discussed the issue. Within a short twenty minutes, thousands of replies were made to the video thread. Scanning through it, Su Yu found out that only a small part of the replies were from real yers; most of them were from ordinaryizens who couldnt afford helmets and were only flooding the forum. But that didnt affect the publics denunciation of the Zhan Tian Guild. Soon, the entire forum was filled with posts cursing the Zhan Tian Guild. The forum administrators didnt shy away from making things worse, they made the video post a top highlighted sticky post. In the forum, there was nothing but curses. However, taking a look at the top few pages of posts, Su Yu found that members of the Zhan Tian Guild had arrived inrge numbers and many people were beginning to dispel rumours on the forum: Wait, is everyone mistaken? The people charging in the video arent from our Zhan Tian Guild! Im a member of the Zhan Tian Guild and even a leader of the Elite Team. Ive never heard of anyone in our guild doing such things! Yes! Our Zhan Tian Guild values its reputation greatly. Anyone who has yed Magic Realm should know this, weve always maintained the game environment, we would never do such low-level things. Ive yed Magic Realm, I can vouch for Zhan Tian being a decent guild. Someone must be impersonating us Members of the Zhan Tian Guild flocked in one after the other, the forum quickly filled with posts dispelling rumors. The posts were quite effective, many spectators began to believe their words, no longer cursing the Zhan Tian Guild, but quietly watching for the follow-up. Im afraid the Zhan Tian Guild will soon produce decisive evidence, and the entire incident will simmer down. Here, Su Yu had finished his takeaway meal. He let out a small sigh: Zhan Tianjian is quite skilled! If it continues at this rate, hell quickly smooth things over. No, they cant get through this crisis easily, I need to think of a ngot it! Su Yu got a bright idea. He took out his phone to check the time, and nodded: Half an hour has passed, Red -Eyed ck Dragon should be online by now, Ill contact him. Su Yu put on his gaming helmet and logged into the game. Nn Vige cemetery. A vast white light shed, and Red -Eyed ck Dragon was resurrected here along with dozens of Emperor Blood Guild members. As soon as Red-Eyed ck Dragon came online, he immediately checked his death log. After seeing the name of the person who killed him, Red-Eyed ck Dragon couldnt help but yell out: Damn! Its Nemesis! It was actually Nemesis who killed us! Behind him stood the other three core members of the Emperor Blood Guild: Giant God Soldier, Sky Dragon, and Swift. Giant God Soldier was a gloomy-looking young man. He looked at the death log and his face was very ugly: So we were killed by this high-level yer who took down a level 4 boss, theres no injustice in our deaths. Sky Dragon was a cute redhead Ioli, her face full of confusion: Really? I just saw the video post on the forum, he clearly killed us using a BUFF given by a high-level NPC! Those are all lies to deceive people! Swift was a blonde big sister type character, she brushed her hair and said: There was about two and a half hours between when Nemesis killed the level 4 boss and when he killed us. Even a high-level NPC wouldnt give him a BUFF for that long. Theres only one answer C Nemesis truly has the strength to kill us instantly! He just got lucky, thats all! Red-Eyed ck Dragon scorned: Everyones level is low right now, but once we level up and get better gear, Ill show Nemesis what true cruelty is! Alright, the server just opened and time is precious. Weve already wasted half an hour, we cant waste any more, lets level up. Red -Eyed ck Dragon gestured, leading the guild members out of the cemetery. But before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly received a system prompt: Ding! yer Nemesis has requested to add you as a friend. Red -Eyed ck Dragons face instantly froze, and his movements stopped as well. Noticing that Red -Eyed ck Dragon had stopped, Swift and other core members turned back and looked at him: Red, whats wrong? Uh its Nemesis, Nemesis actually wants to add me as a friend! Red -Eyed ck Dragon stared at the word Nemesis in the system message, his eyes almost bulging out. Heh! Didnt you say you were gonna show him what true cruelty is? Show him then! Swift immediately egged him on. Yeah! Red-eyed Uncle, you cant back down! Sky Dragon also said with an innocent smile. Well okay then. Red -Eyed ck Dragon thought for a moment and clicked the agree button. But after agreeing, he immediately utilized his fast typing speed, honed from decades of being single, and typed out a long string of characters: Nemesis, Sir! I am honored to have a friend like you! I sincerely apologize, just now my brothers and I may have caused you some unpleasantness, we hope you can forgive us! Seeing this, Sky Dragon and Swift were almost stunned. Red? Is that what you call being cruel? Uncle Red? Could you perhaps grovel more? Red -Eyed ck Dragon waved them off in annoyance: What would you little girls understand! Then he turned his back to them, staring intently at the private messaging interface, waiting for a reply from Nemesis.. Chapter 17 - 17: 17. Epic Quest [Annie’s Revenge]_1 Chapter 17: 17. Epic Quest [Annies Revenge]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Well, I didnt expect the early Red -Eyed ck Dragon to be so polite. Su Yu was a bit surprised. The Red-Eyed ck Dragon was a big shot in his previous life! The Empire guild managed to be one of the top ten guilds nationwide mainly because of him and his team, who contributed at least 30% of their sess. To see him so humble and adaptable in his early days was quite unexpected. Alright, I forgive you. Su Yu replied, But you have to tell me the truth. Which guild do you belong to? I have dealt with Zhan Tianjian, and you certainly dont look like someone who works under him. UmThis The Red-Eyed ck Dragon hesitated. After a while, he replied, Boss, actually we are members from the Shepherd in the Clouds guild. Our boss wants the skill scroll you put up for sale in the warehouse, but we dont have enough spiritual energy coins, so we had to resort to this. The Shepherd in the Clouds guild? Su Yuughed. He was very familiar with the Shepherd in the Clouds guild because he used to be a member in his previous life. The Shepherd in the Clouds guild was backed by the offline corporation Shepherd in the Clouds Group, one of the top 30panies nationwide and thepany Su Yu used to work for. In his previous life, half a year after the catastrophe, the Shepherd in the Clouds Group sold off all its tangible assets and led all its employees into Evolution. It was then that Su Yu managed to enter the game. So he almost burst intoughter when the Red-Eyed ck Dragon mentioned the Shepherd in the Clouds guild. But he still replied seriously, Thats good! I am very close to your boss Shepherd in the Clouds How about this? I will teach you a trick. When you do it sessfully, let the Shepherd in the Clouds know. He will promote and reward you! Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Really? Thank you, boss! ( SuYu: - Two minutester, the Red-Eyed ck Dragon went offline. He then opened the official forum and wrote a sincere post with his own IDGoodbye, Zhan Tian. My heart is chilled. In the post, the Red -Eyed ck Dragon mentioned that he was originally a member of the Zhan Tian guild, and had privately received a task from his boss, Zhan Tianjian, to collect vige entry fees at the entrance. He initially didnt want to do it. Who could possibly enjoy such a job that made everyone despise them? But for the sake of the guild, he took on the task. He was prepared to take the me! However, he never expected that Zhan Tianjian would message him privately and request him to admit that he was a member of the Shepherd in the Clouds guild, and make the innocent Shepherd guild take the me for the forum scandal! The Red-Eyed ck Dragon refused. His conscience wouldnt allow him to do such a thing. So he spilled out everything. At the end of the post, hemented, I never thought Zhan Tianjian would be such a person! I must have been blind! I now swear with my ID Red-Eyed ck Dragon that I will permanently quit the Zhan Tian guild and cut off all rtions with them! The Red-Eyed ck Dragons post stirred up a great deal of concern on the forum! The forum usersughed heartily. They didnt expect such an unexpected twist after the original plot twist! Members of the Shepherd in the Clouds guild were stunned. How did this somehow turn back on them? Members of the Zhan Tian guild were shocked. Their boss was secretly pulling strings! No wonder they didnt know. Zhan Tianjian became furious. He checked the forum and wondered who this Red -Eyed ck Dragon was. Hed never seen such a brazen person! In short, after the Red-Eyed ck Dragons post, the original conflict between the two factions gradually escted into a multi-faction war. The Shepherd in the Clouds guild quickly got involved. Regardless of whether the allegations were true or false, the guild publically denounced Zhan Tianjians shameful behavior. Of course, Zhan Tianjian tly denied it all. Adding the trolls and hecklers into the mix, the official forum was in total chaos. But all this had nothing to do with Su Yu. Upon logging in, he headed straight for the Silver Snake Valley to the west of Nn Vige, entered the territory of the Level 5 monster [Silver Snake], and began prepping to fill up on the [Tears of the Goddess]. Being a Level 5 monster area, the Silver Snake Valley waspletely empty. So Su Yu gave it everything hed got and started sweeping through the silver snakes in the area. [Lightning Bolt] ! [Fireball Skill]! He cast spell after spell. -103 -64 -101 -63 Su Yus [Lightning Bolt] was still strong, powerful enough to instantly kill a Level 5 monster. But by now, the [Fireball Scroll] seemed to be losing its oomph, with an average damage of 62 points, it couldnt instantly kill a [Silver Snake] that had a health point of 70. But Su Yu didnt mind. If one [Fireball Scroll] couldnt take it out, he could use two, right? Thanks to Su Yus money attack, his terrifying levelling speed continued unabated. The [Silver Snakes] in the Silver Snake Valley suffered under Su Yus onught C they fell like wheat before a scythe. During his level grinding, Su Yu also secured equipment that a mage could use. [Wind Velvet Belt Iv5 (Ordinary)]: Defense +4 Unfortunately, he couldnt equip it yet, so Su Yu just threw it into his backpack for now. Each time Su Yu used a skill, the extra mana value of the [Tears of the Goddess] increased by 3 points. When dealing with the Empire guild, Su Yu had used more than thirty different skills. So after another ten or so minutes of power levelling, and after killing about 180 [Silver Snakes], the [Tears of the Goddess] finallypleted stacking! [Tears of the Goddess (Rare)] Jewellery Maximum Mana Value +150 Characteristic: Maximum Mana Value +450 The moment the [Tears of the Goddess]pleted stacking C Ding! Epic hidden mission [Annies Revenge] activated. Do you ept? ept! You have epted the mission [Annies Revenge (Epic)]. Mission Description: You destroyed Annies favorite toy [Teddy Bear Tibbers] using the trap in the cave, causing her to bear a grudge against you. Now, she has called upon her friend[Star-forged Dragon King] Aurelion Sol to attack you. As a highly prestigious Dragon King, Aurelion Sol will not attack you a second time if you survive his initial attack. Mission requirements: Survive Aurelion Sols attack! Aurelion Sols arrival countdown: 05:59:56. Mission failure penalty: Permanent ount ban! Mission reward: Upgrade [Tears of the Goddess], gain Experience Points XIOOO, Main Storyline Progress [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire 0/100]. Su Yu carefully read the long mission description. While reading, his mood rapidly fluctuated. In the beginning, Su Yu was speechless when he read used the trap in the cave as he hadnt even gone into the cave to begin with! Seems like the text of the mission needs some tweaking. However, as he continued reading and saw the name [Star-forged Dragon King] Aurelion Sol, he broke out in a cold sweat. Aurelion Sol is a very powerful Level 84 NPC. In the known game world, only 12 NPCs are stronger than him. Even in the outside world, there are only around 15 Skru star warriors stronger than him. One could say that Aurelion Sol is one of the most potent characters in the entire game! But Su Yu found it unbelievable that such a powerful being woulde to the newbie vige, or even attack him! Su Yu found this utterly incredulous.. Chapter 18 - 18: 18, Kill level 5 boss in 5 seconds! _1 Chapter 18: Kill level 5 boss in 5 seconds! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu calmed himself down and continued reading. The requirement of the hidden mission was to survive a single attack from the [Star-forged Dragon King]. If Su Yu had received this task at level 60, it would be almost impossible toplete, as the [Star-forged Dragon King] was simply too powerful, being capable of destroying an entire city with a single breath! But for this task to be given during the novice vige phase and with such a severe penalty for failure, there must be a way toplete it. How am I supposed toplete it? Su Yu pondered, surrounded by creatures. He spent about two minutes and still could not think of a solution. Exhaling, Su Yu said, No matter what, I need toplete the task at hand first. Su Yu started to act, continuing to clear out the [Silver Snakes]. His goal in this trip to Silver Snake Valley was not only to stack the [Tear of the Goddess], but also to kill a Silver Snake boss, get the [Silver Snake Gall], andplete the first task, [Joining Schrs Temple], given by the old mage. Ive already killed 180 Silver Snakes, the Silver Snake boss should be respawning soon. While thinking about this, Su Yu cast his spells swiftly, and the surrounding Silver Snakes fell in droves. His [Tear of the Goddess] had now reached capacity, and his mana had increased significantly to 760! High mana capacity should match with better mana potion. So, Su Yu used the [Point Star Hand] to upgrade the [Basic Mana Potion]. Ding! Do you want to spend 10 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Basic Mana Potion]? Confirm! Ding, the [Basic Mana Potion] has been upgraded to [Intermediate Mana Potion]. [Intermediate Mana Potion]: Restores 300 mana points within 3 seconds. The high mana capacity provided by the [Tear of the Goddess]bined with the mana restoration effect of the [Intermediate Mana Potion], saved Su Yu a lot of time consuming potions. He no longer needed to drink a potion after every few spells he cast. After more than ten minutes, Su Yu, who had killed over two hundred more [Silver Snakes], leveled up to level 4. Upon reaching level 4, his magic strength naturally rose to 36 points. He was also able to use the [Linen Gloves (Excellent) Lv4] dropped from the goat boss. Su Yu upgraded the [Linen Gloves] to a rare quality and put them on. [Linen Gloves (Rare) Lv4] Defense +ll Intellect + 5 Spell Casting Speed +5% After equipping the [Linen Gloves], Su Yus spell intensity rose to 41 points and his defense also reached an astonishing 40 points! For a level 4 character, 40 defense is practically a bug-like existence. Even the highest defense tank in the game would weep if they saw Su Yus defensive attributes. The only pity was that the Silver Snake boss didnt respawn even when Su Yu reached level 4. But Su Yu was patient and continued to clean up the [Silver Snakes] in the area. Finally, after killing one hundred more [Silver Snakes], just as Su Yu was beginning to grow impatient, the Silver Snake boss respawned! [Silver Snake Leader (Common)] HP: 700 The Silver Snake boss is a giant white cobra, four meters long, with a crimson mark on its forehead. It spawned right next to Su Yu. As soon as it appeared, it red directly at Su Yu with eye-catching vertical pupils. Then it coiled up and sprang forward. Like a loosed arrow, the Silver Snake boss rocketed straight towards Su Yu, its gaping maw aimed for his throat. Facing the assault of the Silver Snake boss, Su Yu just smiled. His gaze towards the Silver Snake boss was full of affection, as though he was a farmer looking at ripe corn in the field. Hence, Su Yu stood still, treating the Silver Snake boss to a [Lightning Bolt] and an Ice Arrow scroll, then lightly sidestepped to the left. The Silver Snake bosss attack missed by a hair, grazing past his neck and biting into nothing. But the Silver Snake boss was no pushover either. Although it failed tond a bite, in mid-air, it coiled its body and whipped its tail at Su Yu like a physicalsh. This tail whip came with a whoosh sound and had great force and speed. With Su Yus agility, he could certainly dodge it by rolling. But as a Mage, he had a better means to deal with it: Su Yu chanted a spell, quickly forming a [Frost Shield] around him. The shield, made of frozen magical energy, encased him from head to toe. Wham! The Silver Snake boss tail whipped against the [Frost Shield] with a mighty thud. -112! Arge figure appeared above Su Yus head, causing the [Frost Shield] to shudder violently. However, the Silver Snake Boss failed to break Su Yus [Frost Shield]. After its attack ended, the Silver Snake boss, unable to recover its footing in mid-air, awkwardly plummeted to the ground. Taking advantage of this, Su Yu unleashed his spells, each one aimed at the weak point of the Silver Snake boss. -132! -130! -61! Su Yus current spell intensity was as high as 41 points, with only three rounds of spells, the Silver Snake boss was left with a sliver of health! The Silver Snake boss had not expected the small human in front of it to deal such high damage! Severely injured, it tried desperately to escape, but it was already toote. [Lightning Bolt] ! [Fireball Skill]! Su Yus final two spells were cast. The poor Silver Snake boss, no more than 5 seconds after appearing, had its HP bar wiped out, leaving only a charred carcass. Ding! You have killed [Silver Snake Leader (Common) Lv5] and gained 70 experience points. The system reported cheerfully. It was easy to kill, but the prime skin got wasted, Su Yu looked at the snake bosss corpse while he said regretfully. The Silver Snake boss was considered a beast. yers who had learned the skinning profession could peel an intact piece of excellent quality [Silver Snake Skin] from it to create leather armor. In his previous life, Su Yu had the skinning profession and felt the urge to take the skin off the Silver Snake bosss corpse. However, this lifetime, Su Yu had no time to learn the secondary profession, thus the body of the Silver Snake boss was wasted. Su Yu walked forward and turned over the body of the Silver Snake boss. As the first yer to kill the Silver Snake boss server-wide, the drops were rather generous: [Light Cloud Round Shield (Excellent) Lv5], [Slippery Scale Chestte (Excellent) Lv5], skill scroll [True Word Art. Shield (Common)], [Silver Serpent Galldder (Excellent)]. [True Word Art. Shield (Common)]: Uses holy light to form a shield, absorbing 150% of spell strength damage for you or a teammate you select, with a cooldown time of 15 seconds and a duration of 60 seconds, consumes 20 points of Holy Energy. [True Word Art. Shield] is a signature skill of the Priest ss. Priest ss has poor attack capabilities, but their healing abilities and ability to protect their teammates are strong. And indeed, many Priests need this skill. I can put it up for sale in the marketceter. There was nothing useful among the drops of the Silver Snake boss, so Su Yu only gave it a brief nce. After putting all the drops into his bag, he left the Silver Snake Valley and returned to Nn Vige.. Chapter 19 - 19: 19, Invitation to join Zhan Tianjian_l Chapter 19: Invitation to join Zhan Tianjian_l Trantor: 549690339 Walking back to Nn Vige, Su Yu pondered on how to aplish the hidden mission and evade the Star-forged Dragon Kings attack. The penalty for mission failure was far from a joke, having his ount permanently deleted! If the mission failed, Su Yu couldnt ept that the effort he put in over the past three days, and the great start he had, would all go down the drain. I still havent figured out how to break the deadlock, but for the time being, I can learn the life-saving skills unique to the mage ss, Su Yu abruptly pondered. During the early stages of the mage profession, there are three main life-saving skills-[invisibility Skill], [sh Skill], and [Ice Barrier]. [Invisibility Skill] seemed useless against the Star-forged Dragon King, so Su Yu didnt consider it for now; Among the remaining two, the [Ice Barrier] cant be learned in the novice vige. It can only be learned in the main city after reaching level 20 through a rted mission. It seems that for now, the only choice is to undertake the hidden mission for the [sh Skill], yes, thats the n! Having decided on a course of action, Su Yus steps became much lighter, he hurriedly set out towards Nn Vige. However, before embarking on the mission, he had to hand in thepleted missions first. The magic hut in the eastern part of the vige. Su Yu opened his backpack, throwing a fist-sized [Silver Snake Gall] onto the wooden table in front of him. Prism, Im here to hand in the task. The old mage Prism had his back to Su Yu, fiddling with something in a crucible. Hearing Su Yus voice, he reluctantly turned around: Couldnt you have waited a little longer before handing in the task? Youve disrupted my train of thought Oh, its you! Howe youre back so soon? The old mages unwillingness quickly morphed into a pleasing smile when he saw that it was Su Yu. Looking to buy something? I recently got a new batch of items Im here to hand in the task. Su Yu interrupted him while pointing at the [Silver Snake Gall] sitting on the table. This is The old mage looked at the [Silver Snake Gall] which was twice the size of a normal Silver Serpents galldder, his eyes round with surprise: This is the galldder of the Silver Snake leader! How did you manage to do it, my young friend? In his mind, he considered on how Su Yu could have enlisted arge number of adventurers to overpower the Silver Snake leader with sheer numbers. The old mage couldnt help sighing: Money is a wonderful thing! You dont need to worry about the details, just give me the skill scroll quickly. Su Yu urged. Alright then. The old mage was a little disappointed. Nevertheless, he swiftly retrieved a skill scroll with arcing electricity and a beautifully packaged envelope, and handed them to Su Yu. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the rare hidden mission [ Join the Schrs Temple (modified) ]! Youve been awarded: [Schrs Temple invitation] X1, Skill Scroll [sh Chain (Excellent)] X1, Experience Points X500.

[sh Chain (Excellent)]: Throws a Lightning Bolt at the enemy, cause damage equal to 260% of magic strength. The Lightning Bolt then skips to nearby enemies, affecting a total of three targets. There is a 30% chance it will put the enemy in a state of paralysis for 1 second. Cooling time 8 seconds, casting time 1.0 seconds, mana consumption 20 points. Su Yu immediately learned the [sh Chain] skill scroll and upgraded it to rare quality. [sh Chain (Rare)]: Throws a Lightning Bolt at the enemy, cause damage equal to 390% of magic strength. The Lightning Bolt then skips to nearby enemies, affecting a total of three targets. There is a 40% chance it will put the enemy in a state of paralysis for 1 second. Cooling time 6 seconds, casting time 0.5 seconds, mana consumption 30 points. [sh Chain] can attack four targets simultaneously. It is a good AoE (Area of Effect) skill in the early stages. After learning [sh Chain], Su Yus leveling speed significantly increased, he no longer had to target one monster at a time. The [Schrs Temple Invitation] could only be used after entering the main city, it had no use for now. Su Yu put the invitation into his backpack and turned around to walk out. The old mage was somewhat reluctant: Adventurer, make sure to visit often! Alright. Su Yu waved his hand and left the magic hut. Exiting the magic hut, he stepped onto the bustling street. Su Yu headed west to undertake the hidden mission for the [sh Skill] skill scroll. Just then, he saw five yers walking in a line, headed directly towards him. The intimidating power emanating from the five yers made nearby yers swerve to avoid them. Su Yu looked at these five yers, a cold light shing in his eyes. Because he could recognize the middle-aged warrior leading them, it was Zhan Tianjian! Just a short while ago, members of the Zhan Tian Guild could be found in every corner of the 006 Novice Vige. On one hand, they were investigating who was impersonating them and collecting entrance fees in the vige; On the other hand, they were looking for Su Yu, seeking the high-end yer, Nemesis, who had put up several precious items and skill scrolls for sale. The Zhan Tian Guild, beingrge and powerful, already had some clues about the first investigation. They initially targeted the Emperor Blood ys the Sky Guild. As for the second matter, Zhan Tianjian had just received news that Nemesis had returned to the vige and entered the magic hut. He immediately hurried there with his men. Su Yu squinted, assessing the five-man team from the Zhan Tian Guild. Zhan Tianjian, Qingli, Overlord Tiger, Ho, Tom. These five were core members of the Zhan Tian Guild. Five traitors! Su Yu managed to suppress his urge tounch a [Lightning Bolt] spell directly at Zhan Tianjian. He stood still, waiting for the other party to speak. Zhan Tianjian appeared rather sincere. When he was three meters away from Su Yu, he extended his hand: Hello young man, I am the head of Zhan Tian Guild, Zhan Tianjian. You must be Nemesis, right? I havee here sincerely wanting to invite you to join our guild. Zhan Tianjian reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Su Yu. But Su Yu did not extend his hand, he merely looked coldly at Zhan Tianjian: Oh? Are you worthy? Su Yus words immediately angered the four yers behind Zhan Tianjian. Overlord Tiger and Ho were initially against their leader inviting Nemesis to join the guild, thinking that he was just an ordinary yer who had gotten lucky. They believed that once everyones levels increased, he would bing just like any other yer. Now that they saw Nemesis looking down on them, they immediately became furious: Hey, kid! Youre speaking nonsense without even bothering to know what kind of guild we are? Were inviting you to join the guild because we think highly of you. Do you consider yourself as some sort of delicacy? Qingli and Tom didnt say a word, however, their faces were equally unhappy, clearly having a bad impression of Su Yu. Zhan Tianjian was deep in thought, he didnt show any displeasure. Instead, he proudly said: In terms of whether were worthy or not, I think we definitely are. Our Zhan Tian is thergest guild in Magic Realm , more than half of the records for clearing top-tier dungeons are held by us! Now, we are all switching to Evolution. It wont be long before we be the number one guild in Evolution!! So, our guild is very suitable for high-end yers like you. Do you want to consider it? Su Yu didnt say a word, maintaining his disdainful expression. After Zhan Tianjian finished speaking, Su Yu directly released the [sh Chain], targeting Overlord Tiger on the far left.. Chapter 20 - 20: 20. Method of Starting Hidden Tasks -Repeater_1 Chapter 20: 20. Method of Starting Hidden Tasks -Repeater_1 Trantor: 549690339 Crack! A silvery arc of electricity sts from the top of Su Yus wand striking directly into the Holy Knights Overlord Tiger. -143! Overlord Tiger vanishes into a sh of white light before he could react. The arc of electricity continues to rebound after hitting Overlord Tiger. Big Ho, Qingli, Tom. -150! -151! 155! Three huge numbers bounce out over their heads. Subjected to Su Yus level suppression, he almost got the full damage of [Electric Chain] out! The trio couldnt react in time for a counter-attack, directly vanishing into a white light and signing off to reflect on their mistakes. Seeing this scene, Zhan Tianjian was stunned and frozen in ce. The four core members of his club, ones he took immense pride in, were instantly killed by a single spell cast by Su Yu? Was the gap really that great? But Su Yu just smiles at Zhan Tianjian, Going back to the question, does your club deserve me as a member? This, Zhan Tianjian stammers,pletely lost for words. Meanwhile, within a vi on the eastern outskirts of East Sea City. Four young men simultaneously remove their helmets, their faces darkening as they emerged from their respective rooms. They all face each other in the corridor outside the rooms, expressions of disbelief etched across their faces. We got instant killed? And by just a single spell? A slender young man spoke with a hoarse voice. The young mans ID was Tom, one of the top three healers in Zhan Tians guild, and one of Zhan Tianjians most reliable subordinates. He had been with Zhan Tians guild for five or six major online games, and this was the first time he encountered such a formidable opponent! The only woman among the four, named Qingli, agreed with a nod, resting her hand on the banister of the patio, speaking coldly, Thats right, we were instant killed. Moreover, Nemesiss damage was 20 points higher than in the forum video and even had an additional area of effect ability. How can this be? Overlord Tiger, one of the four, was irritable, In the forum video, didnt Nemesis say he could only instant kill Emperor Bloods people by obtaining buffs from high-level NPCs? Does his buff still Dersist? The buff could just be his excuse. Tom replied grimly, Four hours have passed since Zhan Tianjian met him, the game developers would never design buffs thatst that long. Nemesiss current strength must be his genuine power. This is unbelievable! Big Ho punched a shallow fist imprint into the white wall. He turned his head towards the far end of the corridor, Chairman is still in the game, wonder how hes doing. Back in the game. Looking at the silent Zhan Tianjian, Su Yu decided not to kill him, but instead said coldly, Instant-killing your four pals was a lesson for you. Remember, dont oppress regr yers in the future, or todays events are bound to repeat themselves! After he finished speaking, he turned to leave. Only after hearing Su Yus words did Zhan Tianjian understood. It was because of their previous vige blockade incident that Nemesis held a grudge against them and he was hard on them! But their club, Zhan Tian, was entirely innocent in that incident! Watching Su Yu turning to leave, Zhan Tianjian quickly exined, Brother, things are not as you think! The people who blocked the vige entrance were not from our guild, Zhan Tian, but were disguised by Emperor Blood ys the Sky(200 characters omitted) Zhan Tianjian exined a lot to Su Yu, even providing some evidence he had just collected. Su Yu listened indifferently. Actually, he didnt care about any of it. He just wanted to find an excuse to attack Zhan Tians guild, nothing more. After Zhan Tianjian finished, Su Yu just nodded coldly, So, I wronged you all? Of course, we are definitely being wronged, Zhan Tianjian said hastily. Alright then, lets be friends and well be in touch if theres anything. Su Yu casually tossed a friend request to Zhan Tianjian and then turned and left without looking back. Zhan Tianjian, noticing that Su Yu still didnt seem to trust them, felt helpless. No matter, being friends is good too, well gradually woo him. Zhan Tianjian looked at the retreating figure of Su Yu and thought to himself. Su Yu headed west towards the residential area of Nn Vige. The best course of action for Su Yu regarding Zhan Tianjians invitation to his guild was, in fact, to join the Zhan Tian guild. With Su Yus capabilities, he could easily integrate into the core circle of Zhan Tian and sabotage their betrayal n at critical moments. But Su Yu knew his own character, pretending to be a spy was very easy to mess up in small details like eye contact, facial expressions, and all the efforts would go to waste. So, Su Yu chose a safer path. He added Zhan Tianjian as a friend. After they became more familiar with each other, he would sell them some unimportant equipment to solidify their friendship, which would still yield a good deal of information about the Zhan Tian guild. With this information, he could then devise methods to deal with these traitors. Su Yu had just arrived in the western residential area of the vige. At this moment, Red -Eyed ck Dragon logged on and sent him a message: Boss, as per your instructions, Ive stirred up the forum! Now most people firmly believe that Zhan Tians guild must have done something underhanded! Su Yu:Youve worked hard! Its a pity I dont know Emperor Blood ys the Sky, that rich second generation, or else I would definitely have him reward you arge red packet. Red -Eyed ck Dragon:Emperor Blood? Wait, boss, you ( ? Su Yu:Alright, doing tasks now, lets talkter Su Yu closed the private chat interface and started to focus on his task. Although Nn Vige is small, it has everything. A cksmith shop, a tailor shop, a tavern, residences, guild hallsall types of buildings were present. In a rarely travelled alley in the residential area, Su Yu started chatting with an old man NPC who was resting on a bench. Uncle, the weather is nice today! Su Yu enthusiastically greeted the NPC old man. Hehe, young man, where do you see the nice part? Its clearly a cloudy day today. The NPC chuckled, amused by Su Yusment. A cloudy day is pretty good! Its cool andfortable, much better than being baked in the strong sun! Su Yuughed. Well said. The NPC old manfortablyy back on the bench, Its cloudy, my daughter maye to see me, such a joy! Oh? Your daughter? Su Yu chimed. Yeah! Let me tell you about my daughter With that, Su Yu and the old man start chatting. Time ticks by, second by second. Half an hourter: The NPC old man happily said, Its cloudy, my daughter maye to see me, such a joy! Su Yu: Oh? Your daughter? Yeah! Let me tell you about my daughter One hourter, the simr dialogue repeats: The NPC old man happily said, Its cloudy, my daughter maye to see me, such a joy! Su Yu: Oh? Your daughter? An hour and a halfter: The NPC old man happily said, Its cloudy, my daughter Two hours had unconsciously passed. During these two hours, Su Yu and the old man repeated this dialogue four times in total! Chapter 21 - 21: 21, Encounter Snow Fall_l Chapter 21: Encounter Snow Fall_l Trantor: 549690339 This was the tricky part about triggering this hidden mission. To trigger the mission, it was necessary to converse repeatedly with the NPC old gentleman for up to two hours. The same content had to be repeated four times before this hidden mission could be epted. Which ordinary yer would have such leisure time? The yers would, at most, chat with the NPC old gentleman for five minutes, and if they failed to trigger the mission, they would leave right away. Even those who were a bit more patient, when they found that NPC old gentlemans words were repeating after half an hour, they too retreated one after another. Hence, this hidden mission was not triggered by anyone during Su Yus previous life, until the Blue Star humans were on the verge of annihtion. At that time, a yer who had lost hope unintentionally discovered this hidden mission. However, it was toote since thest few waves of Skurus attack had already arrived. Su Yu patiently chatted with the old gentleman for a full two hours. At the end of the fourth round of conversation, the NPC old gentlemans leisurely state had suddenly changed. He got up from the bench, looking worriedly towards the East. Hes here! Su Yu perked up. The old gentleman stood up worryingly peering towards the alleyway for a while. Then he looked at Su Yu: Ah! Its already sote, why hasnt my daughter Tinae yet? Young man, can you go to Morning Song grocery store in the northeastern part of the vige to check on her? She might have run into some trouble there. Ding! Excellent Level Hidden Mission [Tinas Fight (1/20)] has been triggered. Do you ept? ept! Mission Description: Uncle John has asked you to go to Morning Song grocery store, to find his daughter Tina. Mission Reward: 200 Experience Points, 2 spiritual energy coins. After epting the mission, Su Yu stood up and waved at NPC old gentleman: Uncle John, Im leaving. Wait for my good news! May the Gods watch over you, young man. Uncle John waved goodbye to Su Five minutester, Su Yu arrived at the door of Morning Song grocery store. Morning Song grocery store was situated in a secluded alley in the eastern residential area of the vige. Very few yers wereing or going. Just as Su Yu was about to push the door and go in, a female yer came out from the grocery store. Excuse me Huh? Is it you? Nemesis! This female yers eyes lit up when she saw Su Yu. But seeming to have recalled something, the female yers eyes turned mncholic. Hello there! Snow Fall. Su Yu waved in greeting. This female yer was indeed Snow Fall. Su Yu had met her twice before. However, noticing Snow Falls mncholic gaze, Su Yu felt somewhat baffled. He was familiar with this mncholic gaze. Su Yu had refused quite a few girls, who after being turned down, would look at him with a mncholic gaze. Snow Fall was giving him the same mncholic gaze. Su Yu mumbled to himself: We didnt have any interaction, did we? Why is she looking at me like this? So, Su Yu awkwardly asked: Uhm wheres your father? My dad logged off. Hes old and not fit for long durations of game y. Then why are you giving me that look? Nemesis, you stole my hidden mission [Savi Goddesss Tear]. Snow Fall said in a mncholic tone. Once Snow Fall took on the first step of [Savi Goddesss Tear], no one else could take on this mission unless she failed. Snow Fall also noticed that Su Yu had cut in at the tenth step of the mission. However, she didnt me Nemesis. There wasnt much to be said when ones skills were inferior and the mission was stolen. But she still felt somewhat uneasy. Oh, it was you! Su Yu suddenly realized. So, in his previous life, it was Snow Fall who hadpleted the hidden mission. Eventually, Snow Fall failed toplete the follow-up task [Annies Revenge] and was banned, leaving Evolution for good. No wonder Su Yu had never heard of the name Snow Fall. After all, Snow Fall was good-looking and one of the first batch of yers, she should have some small fame. What does it was me mean? Snow Fall was clueless; she didnt understand what Su Yu was saying. Nothing. Su Yu changed the subject: Since I snatched your hidden task, how about I give you a piece of equipment aspensation? Su Yu took out the [Scales of Chest Armor] from his bag and handed it to Snow Fall, also showing her the armors property panel. [Scales of Chest Armor Iv5 (Excellent)] Type: Leather Armor Defense+6 AgilitY+3 Although Su Yu avoided the fate of Snow Fall being banned, objectively speaking, Su Yu also took away a [Tear of the Goddess] from her. So Su Yu decided to give the [Scales of Chest Armor] to Snow Fall aspensation, after all, it wouldnt fetch much on the trade station. Snow Fall was startled when she saw the properties of the [Scales of Chest Armor]. This is a level 5 green quality chest armor! The [Iron Boots (Excellent) IV3] that Nemesis put up for sale at the merchandise station are now bidding up to 50 spiritual energy coins. How could [Scales of Chest Armor] not cost 100 spiritual energy coins? At the current ck market rate of 1:20, its close to 2000 real world money in Flower Coins! No! Its too valuable, I cant ept it! Snow Fall quickly waved her hand and backed away a few steps. Just take it. I said nohow about we add each other as friends, Nemesis, and look out for each other for good tasks in the future! While saying this, Snow Fall sent Su Yu a friend request. Thetter half of what Snow Fall said was just a courtesy, she was just trying to find a way out and didnt really expect Nemesis to give her any tasks. Su Yu was aware of this. Alright then, Ill contact you it there is any suitable task in the future. Su Yu epted Snow Falls friend request. Well, goodbye! Great master! Snow Fall waved and turned to leave. Wait! I have a question for you. Su Yu suddenly remembered and stopped her. What is it? Snow Fall turned back. Its like this. Su Yu exined: Did you see a shopkeeper named Tina when you were in the general store earlier? Tina.. Snow Fall tapped her chin with her index finger: I came here from the quest line from Baron Wilson, and if I remember correctly, Tina should be at the gate of Baron Wilsons manor, Ive seen her there. Baron WilsonThank you so much! This information is really useful to me! Su Yu thanked her. No problem. Snow Fall smiled and turned to run off. After parting with Snow Fall, Su Yu officially started the hidden task [Tinas Resistance]. The first 5 rings of [Tinas Resistance] are mainly about decryption tasks. Since Tina was not at the general store, yers had to decrypt tasks to find out where she had gone. Many of the decrypted clues were very misleading. For example, Tina has taken a liking to a skirt and is going to try it on at the clothing store. Or, Tina and the warrior supervisor Quinn have an appointment for talent testing at the warriors guild. Or, Tina is tracking a lost puppy. All sorts of incorrect information always tried to mislead Su Yu. Luckily, Su Yu got urate information from Snow Fall, which made it easy for him to sort out the misinformation and sessfullyplete the decryption task. Afterpleting the five decryption tasks, Su Yu arrived at the front gate of Baron Wilsons manor where he met the main character of the task, Tina.. Chapter 22 - 22: 22, Hidden Task [Tina’s Struggle] _1 Chapter 22: Hidden Task [Tinas Struggle] _1 Trantor: 549690339 Tina was a stunning sixteen-year-old girl with an exceptionally delicate face. Evenpared to offline celebrities who had undergone stic surgery, she was visually stunning. At this moment, Tina stood at the entrance of Baron Wilsons estate, holding a receipt, looking downcast. Not far from the street where Tina was, a group of yers were engrossed in discussing something in hushed tones. Su Yu approached Tina and introduced himself, Hello, Miss Tina, I am Nemesis, an adventurer. Hello, Nemesis. What brings you to me? Tina turned to look at Su Yu, her beautiful eyes twinkling. Tinas actions immediately created a stir among the spectators. When these yers passed by and noticed Tina holding a note with a gloomy expression but so gorgeous, they spected that she must have a mission. But no matter how these yers tried to strike up a conversation or coax her, Tina ignored them utterly. So, those yers reluctantly stood by, discussing how to beat this beautiful girl. But to their surprise, Su Yu merely introduced himself and got a reply from Tina! The onlooking yers were green with envy, some were so angry that they began to curse: Bah! Pretty boy! Just because hes handsome, hes impressive? Hope your son @%L# * Dont you know how to queue while ying a game, you stinky * Su Yu couldnt be bothered to deal with these yers. He dealt an [Electric Chain], and the four who had cursed most angrily disappeared into white light on the spot. The surviving yers looked on in horror. What just happened? How did people disappear all of a sudden? Su Yu returned his gaze to Tina: The thing is, your father, old John is very worried about you. He asked me to help you in the hope youll return home soon. Thank you for the message, Nemesis, Tina managed to force a smile, However, I cant leave. Baron Wilson owes a significant debt to our grocery store. If I cant get the money, I couldnt pay my staff. Oh, in other words, as long as you get the debt, we can leave? Su Yu asked casually. Of course. Tina stared. Alright then, Ill help you get your money right now. Finishing his sentence, Su Yu strode towards the front door of the mansion. But, just at this moment, the mansion doors swung open. A man wearing a ck butler suit walked out from inside. [Butler Charlemagne Iv6] Health: 80 Five other servants who were levels 3-5 followed Charlemagne. Charlemagne did not give Su Yu a nce, but looked at Tina with eagerness on his face: Miss Tina, my master sent me to ask you a question. Would you be willing to be his lover? If you agree, we will repay all your debts! Lover? Tina was shocked. Can there be such a shameful condition in the world? No, I do not agree! Tina was so angry her face turned crimson, You must repay my money; otherwise Or what? Butler Charlemagne looked at Tina with amusement: And whether or not you be a lover, is not up to you to decide. Butler Charlemagne turned to look at the five servants behind him: Take her! Alright. The five servants obeyed, moving towards Tina with evil smiles on their faces. Perhaps after the master had had his fun, he might share some of soup with them, by that time, hehehe Meanwhile, Su Yus mission was updated. Ding! Your mission [Tinas Struggle] has been updated. [Tinas Struggle 6/20]. Mission Requirements: Protect Tina from being caught by Charlemagnes underlings, and safely escort her to the Warrior Guild to be turned over to the warrior supervisor, Quinn. Mission reward: [Fireball Skill] scroll Xl, 400XP. Upon seeing this mission description, Su Yu had a rough idea about the uing storyline. The storyline should be: Tina escapes to the Warrior Guild, and with the help of Quinn, the warrior supervisor, they, along with the yers, jointly confront and defeat the evil Baron Wilson. But Su Yu had no intention of following the mission path. The reason was simple: strong power rules! Seeing the five fierce henchmen rushing towards her, Tina was startled and hastily tried to flee. However, at that moment, an arc of electricity the thickness of a goose egg broke out from Su Yus wand, bouncing amongst the four henchmen. -141 -116 -125 -131 The health bars of the four henchmen out of five were wiped out, leaving them critically injured and on the verge of death. The remaining henchman, seeing hisrades fall one after another, stood frozen in terror, in a state of utter confusion. Su Yu showed no mercy and casually cast a [Lightning Bolt]. This henchman too, fell twitching to the ground. The butler, shocked by this scene, turned and fled towards the manor. However, in his haste, he nearly tripped and fell. Su Yu didnt make a move to attack him. Instead, he coldly said, Stop! Ill count to three. 32 The moment Su Yu started his countdown, the butler halted and turned back. A forced smile appeared on his rigid face. Esteemed guest, might you be You dont need to know who I am, Su Yu interrupted impatiently. Lead the way! Take me to your baron. I need to have a chat with him face to face! Alright, right this way, the butler said hurriedly and gestured for him to follow, leading the way. Su Yu looked back at Tina. She was still staring nkly, seemingly not yet recovered from witnessing his disy of raw power. So, Su Yu walked over and took her soft, delicate hand. Come on, lets go in there and settle our ounts. Also, well address the matter of the baron forcing you to be his lover. Uh Okay. Tinas cheeks turned pink as Su Yu held her hand. However, she didnt resist and let Su Yu take her into the Barons manor. By this point, the yers outside the manor who had been watching the spectacle were in utter chaos: Were those four yers killed instantly? They mustve been. And they were wiped out by an AOE (Area of Effect) skill! Not only those yers, those NPCs were wiped out too! Look at the health of those NPCs. They are not weakpared to wild monsters at the same level. How can they not withstand? An AOE skill that can instantly kill? Is there no justice?! Did anyone record that? I did. I was actually filming that beautiful NPC. Quick! Post it on the forum. Oh, okay. Shortly after. another Dost on the forum went viral. The title of the post was AOE Skill Emerges! Mysterious yer rescues the beauty, killing multiple yers and NPCs instantly using an AOE skill. Below the post were countless shockedments. Everyone was astounded by Su Yus terrifying [Lightning Chain]. Thements came flooding in, hundreds within minutes. Some yers even recognized Su Yu by his looks: Eh? Isnt this the expert from the 1V100 post earlier? I checked that post again. Its indeed him! How is it his buffs are still active? Not only are the buffs active, but he also has an AOE skill? That NPC beauty is gorgeous! Seeing her holding hands, Im so jealous! The forum users enthusiastically joined the heated discussion.. Chapter 23 - 23: 23, Sweep the Baron’s Manor_l Chapter 23: Sweep the Barons Manor_l Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu was unaware of the discussions taking ce on the forum, but even if he had been, he wouldnt have cared. Right now, Su Yu was heading deeper into Baron Wilsons manor, with the steward Charlemagne in tow. As they walked on the fine cobblestone path, Tina grew increasingly anxious as the Barons castle approached. She squeezed Su Yus hand and whispered, Nemesis, arent we taking on too much risk this time? Baron Wilson is no joke, especially his captain of the guards, Adams, who is a formidable warrior! We should probably go to the Warriors GuildC I can go find my sister Quinn No need. Su Yu loosened his grip on her hand, patted her shoulders to reassure her, Just a minor baron, I can handle it! But Before Tina could finish her sentence, sudden noises came from the castle ahead. A guard in armor, clutching a long sword, came out, followed by six other guards. Who are you? the leading guard shouted at Su Yu. Before Su Yu could reply, Charlemagne tripped over himself to run at the guard, Adams, they are robbers! Deal with them quickly! With a furrowed brow, Su Yuunched a [Lightning Bolt], permanently silencing Charlemagne. Seeing Su Yu daring to act violently in front of him, Adams expression turned extremely ugly. He raised his sword and roared to his guards, Attack together, apprehend this robber! Yes, sir! The guards clenched their weapons and charged at Su Yu with Adams. Watching the guards charge, Tina became anxious and tugged at Su Yus sleeve hurriedly. But Su Yu remained calm, once again utilizing [sh Chain]! A thick bolt of lightning hit Adams at the front, then bounced off onto the other guards. -104 -122 -121 -126 Fourrge numbers shed, the three guards in the rear smoked and charred, copsed with a loud thud. Captain Adams, although hit by the [sh Chain], was a Veteran, holding 3-3 times the HP of a regr guard, barely managing to withstand Su Yus attack without being sted to pieces. Despite that, he was scorched inside and out, kneeling on the ground, and vomiting a mouthful of blood mixed with ck debris. The remaining fortunate guards that were unaffected by the lightning halted in their tracks. They stared at Su Yu nervously, their sword-clutching arms trembling slightly, no one daring to take a step forward. Kneeling on the ground and leaning on his sword, Adams barely managed to ask, Who are you, really? A debt collector. Su Yus reply was concise, Wheres your baron? The baron is No, I wont tell you even if it kills me! Then you may die! Su Yu raised his wand, preparing to cast a spell. Seeing the electrical arcs gathering at the top of Su Yus wand, sweat dripped from Adams forehead: Wait, no, adventurer! The baron is in the second floor study! Faced with death, he betrayed his master without hesitation. Su Yu halted his spell casting, and looked back at Tina, Lets go! Were going to the second floor. Su Yu stepped into the castle, heading up the stairs to the second floor. Okay! Tina quickly followed Su Yus footsteps. Once inside the castle, she looked back at the pitiful and panicking guards, dumbfounded: Nemesis, you are so powerful! Even the mighty Adams fell in one hit at your hands! I guess not even my sister Quinn is as impressive as you! Of course, if I didnt have some real power, why would I dare to break into the barons manor? Su Yu chuckled: But wait here while I deal with Baron Wilson. Dont stray from this area. Understood! Tina obediently nodded, her eyes revealed a hint of admiration when she looked at Su Yu. Two minutester, Su Yu walked alone into the Barons study. At this time, Baron Wilson was sitting in a leather chair in his study, browsing through a parchment book. Seeing Su Yue in, he raised his coffee cup on the table in salute to Su Yu, his expression calm andposed. [Baron Wilson Lv 8] Health: 1000 The health value indicates that Baron Wilson has the temte of an 8th level boss. Upon seeing Baron Wilsons calm demeanor, Su Yu, holding his magic wand, let out a subtle smile and looked at the baron, I guess, you want to seize Tina not just to have her as your lover, but for a deeper purpose, right? Baron Wilsons expression twisted slightly: How did you know? Its simple, Su Yu replied, You had plenty of opportunities to seize Tina. Why choose the exact moment when she and Quinn had agreed to take their talent tests? Your aim was to lure Quinn over, right? Adventurer, youre smart! Baron Wilson stood up and apuded Su Yu, Ive had enough of country girls like Tina; its the beauties from Orleans City like Quinn that make my heart race! However, smart people often dont live long, do you know why? Baron Wilson picked up the magic wand that was set aside. He was a mage, too! I dont know, could you tell me? Su Yu gave a smile. Because of this! Baron Wilson made the first move, starting to cast his spell. 1.5 secondster, a fireball the size of an egg flew from the top of his wand, quickly shooting towards Su Yus head! Su Yu stood in ce, only tilting his head slightly to the left. The fireball whizzed past his ear and hit the wall behind him, causing no damage to Su Yu. Su Yu was a high-ranking mage in his previous life. As for Baron Wilsons beginner level mage spells, Su Yu didnt even have to watch; by just listening to the sound alone, he could discern the direction, power, and range of the spell almost urately. So, with just a tilt of his head, Su Yu easily dodged the attack, not even needing to cast [Frost Shield]. Baron Wilson, however, was shocked by Su Yus dodging prowess. He stood at his spot, looking at Su Yu incredulously, Who are you? Are you really a mage? Could you be an impersonating assassin? Baron Wilson gripped his magic wand tightly. But even for the assassin ss, it would be challenging to avoid the [Fireball Skill] as casually as Su Yu did! Otherwise, whats the point of being a Mage? You dont need to know who I am, you just need to know that youre about to die, thats enough. Su Yu initiated his counterattack, unleashing the [Lightning Bolt] and [Fireball Skill] scrolls. -114! The two spells hit Barons chest, immediately reducing his health by 16%! After being hit by the spells, arge hole was burnt into the barons shirt, his whole body flickering with electricity. He was wincing in pain. However, he gritted his teeth and retaliated, unleashing the [Fireball Skill] once more. Unfortunately, the fireball still failed to hit Su Yu. The fireball grazed Su Yus body and exploded on the wall again. After two unsessful casts, the Baron waspletely frustrated. He tried to imitate Su Yus movements, hoping to dodge the attacks from the [Lightning Bolt] and [Fireball Skill]. But Su Yus spells werent as easy to dodge, right? Su Yu had anticipated the barons evasion, and every single shot of the [Lightning Bolt] and [Fireball Skill] still hit the baron. The fightsted a total of 10 seconds. After 10 seconds. Su Yus magic robe remained untarnished, and his health was still at its maximum. Baron Wilson was charred all over, his health bar depleted, and he weakly fell to the ground. An 8th level boss had just disgracefully died at the hands of a 4th level yer.. Chapter 24 - 24: 24, Trigger the main storyline [Saintess of Orleans City]_l Chapter 24: Trigger the main storyline [Saintess of Orleans City]_l Trantor: 549690339 Tsk tsk, the magic-type monsters in the newbie vige are even less challenging than the physical ones, Su Yu shook his head. In reality, each of Baron Wilsons [Fireball Skill] wouldve definitely killed Su Yu on the spot, if it actually hit him. But unfortunately, the Barons spells never hit, making him look like an easy target. Su Yu walked over to check out Baron Wilsons corpse. Baron Wilson was a mission boss. Since there was no concept of a first kill, he only dropped two items: Cloth Armored Shoes, and the skill scroll [Fireball Skill (Regr)]. Although the drops were fewer, Su Yu could use both of these items. The [Fireball Skill] could be learned right away, while the Cloth Armored Shoes required level 8 to equip. Having obtained the skill scroll, Su Yu instantly chose to learn it and spent 1,100 spiritual energy coins to upgrade [Fireball Skill] to a rare quality. [Fireball Skill (Rare)]: Launch a fireball to attack the target, causing a fire damage of 360% spell strength, with a 40% chance of inflicting a [Burning] status. Casting time is 0.5 seconds, consuming 15 mana points. [Burning] Status: Suffer 15 points of fire damage per second,sting for 4 seconds. In terms of single-target damage, [Fireball Skill] is roughly on par with [Lightning Bolt]. If facing a high health boss, [Fireball Skill] triggering [Burning] status could cause higher damage. However, at Su Yus current stage, he can kill immediately, making [Lightning Bolt]paratively more practical. After learning the [Fireball Skill], Su Yu steps out of the Barons study. Tina was standing anxiously outside the door. She heard the sound of spells colliding within the study cease, indicating a victor had emerged. But she dared not approach the door to check and was anxiously twisting the hem of her garment in anticipation. Upon seeing Nemesis emerge unscathed, Tina let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest, Praise the gods, Nemesis, youre still alive! How fortunate! Huh, were you hoping I wouldnt be? Su Yu teased. No, of course not Alright! Su Yu ruffled Tinas head, Go get Quinn from the warriors guild. There is a lot of evidence of the Barons crimes in this mansion. Let here and take inventory. Okay! Tina immediately replied excitedly. Su Yu watched Tina leave the Barons mansion. Then he himself returned to the second floor study to conduct a thorough search. With the help of his extensive gaming experience, Su Yu effortlessly found two crucial pieces of evidence against the baron a letter and the barons diary. Because Tina hadnt returned yet, a bored Su Yu ordered the mansions guards and servants to find and bring forth all the unrightfully obtained wealth and illegally detained women from the Barons lifetime. Unfortunately, these confiscated items belonged to the mission items hence couldnt be kept for personal use by Su Yu. Half an hourter, Supervisor Quinn and her staff from the Warriors Guild arrived. Quinn, who was dispatched by the headquarters of the Warriors Guild in Orleans City for on-ground experience, was stunning, with fair skin and an excellent demeanor. Inside the second-floor study room, looking at Wilsons Barons burnt corpse, Quinn couldnt believe her eyes, Adventurer, you are the one who killed Baron Wilson? Su Yu did not say anything, but just nodded. Do you know the severity of killing a noble? First, look at these, Su Yu handed the two pieces of evidence to Quinn. Quinn took the two pieces of evidence and read the contents thoroughly. One of the pieces of evidence was a letter written between the Baron and the Northern Rebel Army which had not been destroyed. This one letter alone was enough for the Empire to charge Baron Wilson with treason, a crime punishable by death, even for a noble! In fact, it could entail the extermination of his entire family! As such, not only was Su Yu not guilty for killing Baron Wilson, but he had also performed a great service! As for the Barons diary The diary contained numerous indecently nned plots against Quinn, each one of them being quite obscene, enough to take Su Yu by surprise as well. Upon reading the contents of the diary, Quinns face turned scarlet, alternating between rage and embarrassment. She unsheathed her longsword, bent down and stabbed the deceased Barons body several times, and her disdain for him slightly faded. Im so grateful for your help, adventurer! Im thankful that you eliminated this trash for the Empire! Quinn solemnly stated. Then she handed two gold-ted medals to Su Yu: These are your rewards! You must ept them! A change appeared in Su Yus task log. Ding! Youpleted the task [Tinas Struggle]! Since youvepleted the task beyond expectations, the task reward has been increased! Task Reward: [Honor Medal (Excellent)] X2, Experience Points XIOOO. [Honor Medal (Excellent)] Introduction: Reward given by major guilds to remarkable contributors. Usage: You can use this medal to exchange for a skill scroll of your level and profession with (Excellent) quality at the Mage Guild. As Su Yu hadpleted the entire task in one cycle, the rewards for the 6th-19th tasks were erased. However, the final reward, the [Honor Medal], was increased from one to two medals. Su Yu was very satisfied! He happily took the two [Honor Medals] and said to Quinn, I wont disturb you. Ill take my leave! Goodbye, adventurer! Quinn waved goodbye to Su Yu. Baron Wilsons crimes were confirmed, and Su Yu was not required here. The Warrior Guild could handle the aftermath. Just as Su Yu turned to leave, a sharp voice echoed from behind, Nemesis, wait! The person who spoke was Tina. Tina, is there something else? Su Yu turned around, looking at the young beautiful girl. Its like this. Tina blushed and walked up to Su Yu, whispering timidly: I am going to the Warrior Guild for a talent test, and if I pass, I will go to Orleans City with Sister Quinn. Oh, and then? If you ever pass by Orleans City, could you visit me? I will be alone in Orleans City, without any family or friends, and that scares me. Tina whispered this before giving the Barons debt receipt to Su Yu as a token. Upon hearing this, Su Yu realized that Tina had a follow-up task. However, Su Yu did not wish to ept this task. Because the main plot he was about to unlock, [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire], if guessed correctly, must be located in the capital of Goldfinch Empire C Goldfinch City. Orleans City was in the southwest of the Goldfinch Empire. Despite being arge city, it was more than a thousand kilometers away from the Imperial Capital! The main plot was the priority. However, just as Su Yu was about to politely decline. Ding! You have triggered the main plot [Orleans City Saintess 0/100]. Do you wish to ept? Main plot! Another freaking main plot! Moreover, its the famous [Orleans City Saintess] from his past life! Su Yus pupils contracted slightly. Tina, 1 Dont reject me. Tina stepped forward and hugged Su Yu tightly. During the hug, she slipped the receipt into Su Yus pocket. Remember toe visit me! After saying this, Tina withdrew like a frightened deer and disappeared from Su Yus sight. This Su Yu pulled out the receipt from his pocket with a bitter smile. Feels like I dont have the choice to refuse. Ding! You have epted the main plot [Orleans City Saintess], please proceed to Orleans City in the Goldfinch Empire to start the main plot.. Chapter 25 - 25: 25, Final Preparation for [Annie’s Revenge] Task 1 Chapter 25: Final Preparation for [Annies Revenge] Task 1 Trantor: 549690339 After leaving the Barons estate, Su Yu was heading towards the Mages Guild on the east side of the vige. As he walked, Su Yu was recalling the main storyline about the Saint of Orleans from his previous life. Speaking of this main storyline, it all starts from the Goldfinch Empire. The game world of Evolution is vast. The human world alone consists of three major empires, over a dozen kingdoms, and hundreds of dukedoms, not to mention the surrounding elves, Orcs, goblins, pandamen The Goldfinch Empire is one of the three major human empires. Currently, in the first expansion of Evolution, the opened areas are only the Goldfinth Empire and its subordinate kingdoms and dukedoms. More areas will be unlocked with subsequent game updates. The main storyline of the Saint of Orleans can be considered the core narrative in the whole Goldfinch Empire of the first expansion. This storyline mainly narrates a story about a rural girl named Garcia meeting with the empires princess, leading the imperial army, and ultimately defeating the Northern Rebel Army. Almost all yers partook in this main event at that time. Of course, most yers were merely involved in insignificant side quests, and the few fortunate enough to partake in the main quest were scarce. As Su Yu joined the game toote and missed the first few expansions, he could only hurriedly browse through the whole event as recorded by old yers. The schrs within the game once stated that the Saint of Orleans quest line closely resembles the real-life exploits of Joan of Arc. A country girl leads the national army in both cases, as a woman carrying the mantle of the nations will. Joan of Arc was known as the Saint of Orleans, and Garcia was eventually named the Saint of Orleans City. Apart from these, Su Yu didnt have much more information. However, being able to participate in the main quest of the Saint of Orleans is definitely a great fortune! The rewards from the main quest are abundant; even for yers like Su Yu, who exploit infinite gold coins, the rewards are incredibly tempting. Upon entering the Mages Guild, Su Yu redeemed his two Honor Medals for two skill scrolls. The first medal was of course used to redeem the sh Skill. After careful consideration for the second Honor Medal, Su Yu decided to redeem Invisibility Skill. Invisibility Skill is the hardest-to-obtain beneficial skill among all the skill a mage has, and as Su Yu currentlycks damage, he requires this type of functional skill. After redeeming the two skill scrolls, Su Yu directly clicked to learn them. [sh Skill (Outstanding)]: Teleports you to a location 15 meters ahead, stops if there are obstacles in the way, removes all dizziness and immobilization status possibilities. Instant cast, 15 seconds cooldown, consumes 20 mana. [Invisibility Skill (Outstanding)]: Bes invisible 3 seconds after casting,sting 20 seconds. Invisibility status will be dismissed if an attack or skill casting takes ce. Instant cast, 5 minutes cooldown, consumes 30 mana. With these two spells, Su Yus survivability is significantly enhanced. He no longer has to rely solely on Frost Shield and evasions. With a wave of his hand, Su Yu upgraded these two skills to rare quality. Once upgraded to rare quality, the sh Skill allows for teleportation up to 20 meters and reduces the cooldown to 12 seconds; The Invisibility Skillsts for 30 seconds and reduces the cooldown to 4 minutes. Moreover, these two skills can be manifested in reality. In reality, these two skills can be infinitely useful! After acquiring these two abilities, Su Yu nced at the countdown timer for [Annies Revenge]. There were still 40 minutes and 29 seconds left before the arrival of the Star-forged Dragon King. Within these 40 minutes, Su Yu must prepare himself as best as possible in order to face this task. Su Yu opened a private chat window with Snow Fall: Snow Fall, if this were your task, how would you tackle [Annies Revenge]? While they werepleting the task at the Barons Manor earlier, being curious about the Tear of Savi Goddess, Snow Fall had, through a private message, asked Su Yu about the subsequent tasks. Su Yu didnt hide anything and revealed all details about the subsequent tasks and the rted quests to [Annies Revenge] to Snow Fall. Su Yus inquiry was directed at Snow Fall because after all, she was the witness. By interacting with Snow Fall, at the very least, Su Yu could disregard one wrong answer. emmm After pondering for a while, Snow Fall replied, I remember theres a cliff next to the Wolf King Valley, to the west of the vige. If I were you, I would stand on the edge of the cliff and jump down 2 to 3 seconds before the arrival of the Star-forged Dragon King. With gravity assisting my eleration, the velocity of my character can reach a great height, perhaps I could use this speed to dodge the lethal attack. Yes, that makes sense, Su Yu replied. This method of standing on a cliff and jumping down was one that Su Yu hadnt thought about. However, since Snow Fall suggested it, it most definitely wouldnt work. So? Are you nning to adopt my idea? Snow Fall replied with excitement. Su Yu: No, I have a different n. Snow Fall: So, whats your brilliant idea? Su Yu: Youll know in 40 minutes. Come by the vige chiefs ce then. Bu I reckon you should stay a little farther away. After replying, Su Yu closed the chat window. Su Yus contingency n was very simplestand right next to the vige chief of the beginner vige. Being the most conspicuous star in the beginner vige, the vige chief attracted the most number of yers, and the number of NPCs was pretty dense around him too. Moreover, because of his special status as the vige chief, the Star-forged Dragon King would surely control his attack range. If the range of the Star-forged Dragon Kings attack was less than 20 meters, Su Yu could easily dodge it using the sh Skill and thus, sessfully aplish this quest! Right, thats the way to go! Su Yu thought about it thoroughly without finding any glitches and hence decided to proceed with this n. However, before proceeding to the vige chief, Su Yu decided to buy some more speed-enhancing gear to increase his survival rate. So he went to the stockyard and bought out all the speed-enhancing gear that was for sale. Most of the speed-enhancing gear were pieces of leather armor: [Shadowmoon Cape IVI (Outstanding)] (Defense +5, Movement Speed +0.4); [Assassins Shoulder Guard IV2 (Outstanding)) (Defense +4, Movement Speed +0.2); [Shadow Long Boot IVI (Outstanding)) (Defense +5, Movement Speed +0.5). All weremon green items that increased movement speed and seemed mediocre to ordinary yers. However, for Su Yu, they were perfectly suitable. After putting on this leather armor, Su Yu had the appearance of an assassin yer. His movement speed also got boosted up to 2.4. A speed of 2.4 meant that Su Yu could walk 2.4 meters per second. In a full-on sprint, he could reach speeds as high as 12 meters per second, significantly exceeding the limits of a normal human! Wearing this gear, Su Yu headed towards the center of the vige and positioned himself next to the vige chief. At that point, there were 29 minutes and 12 seconds left before the arrival of the Star-forged Dragon King. The vige chief was an old man with a white beard, handing out tasks to yers cheerfully. He remainedpletely oblivious to the fact that a catastrophe was nearing! Chapter 26 - 26: 26, Two major guilds confront each other_l Chapter 26: Two major guilds confront each other_l Trantor: 549690339 The vige chiefs position is on the vige square, which is also the birthce of the yers. After yers are born, they can receive a series of novice tasks from the vige chief. The rewards for these novice tasks are generally mediocre, suitable for yers who are unwilling to repetitively fight monsters. Because it is the birthce of the yers, and because the vige square is quite open, arge number of yers gather here, boasting, chatting, hanging out, wandering around, making the ce very lively. Looking at the bustling square in front of him, Su Yu feels an overwhelming sense of emotion. In his previous life, when he entered the game, the server had been opened for half a year already. At that time, most people had be aware of the existence of the Skuru people, so when they entered the game, they looked hurried and serious. They lost the pleasure of ying games, and purely used this game as a means to enhance themselves. At that time, there were several dozen times more yers, but the square was very deserted, not nearly as bustling as it is now. Su Yu stands next to the vige chief, feeling a bit bored, since for half an hour, he has nothing to do. Suddenly, he has an epiphany: The square is so lively now, why dont I call the people from the Zhan Tian guild over to join in the fun? Its more interesting than grinding monsters, right? Thinking of this, Su Yu opens the private chat interface. Su Yu: Are you there? Zhan Tianjian: Whats up? Su Yu: In approximately half an hour, a BOSS will spawn on the square of novice vige no.6. Su Yu isnt lying, [Star-forged Dragon King] is a genuine BOSS. Zhan Tianjian: I am in the no.6 novice vige. BOSS? What kind of BOSS? A hidden BOSS? Or a monster siege? Zhan Tianjian is truly a game expert. Su Yu just vaguely mentioned BOSS and he has inferred two possibilities. Its not his fault after all. The game developers usually loved throwing these kinds of grand opening events, offering yers some small benefits. Su Yu: Im not sure, but ording to gossip, it seems that it was summoned the Emperor Blood guild. Zhan Tianjian: Emperor Blood!!! Ill be right there! The level 4 [Slope Sheep] monster area. Zhan Tianjian puts down the sword shield in his hands, he does not lure the monsters anymore, but instead, looks in the direction of the novice vige with a stern expression. What happened, Boss Zhan? The Ho halts the bow and arrows in his hands. Its like this Zhan Tianjian repeats what Su Yu told him earlier word-for-word. The Hos eyes brighten: Since its a BOSS summoned by Emperor Blood, we must snatch it! This way we can vent our anger too! Thats what I was thinking too. Zhan Tianjian nods: Qingli, privately message all middle-to-higher level members. If they are online, everyone gathers at the no.6 vige square! Understood, boss. Qingli answers. While Zhan Tianjian gathers his troops, Su Yu has also managed to set off the Red -Eyed ck Dragon. Su Yu: Red-Eyed, Zhan Tians guild is summoning a BOSS at the square of our newbie vige, are you interested? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: what kind of BOSS? Su Yu: ording to gossip, it seems to be the final reward from a quest chain, and Zhan Tianjian and his core team areing, they attach great importance to this BOSS. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Understood, Ill ask our guild leader. ) Su Yu: Could you stop using emoticons. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: (;n ) Ill try. Red -Eyed ck Dragon exits the private chat window with Su Yu, copies the message, and forwards it to Emperor Blood ys the Sky. After about a minute, Emperor Blood ys the Sky replies: Ling Feng and I will bring people over, well meet over there with you, Red-Eyed. But remember, snatching the BOSS is the priority, try to minimize conflicts with Zhan Tians people. If too many people are killed because of this, it bes not worth it. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Understood, guild leader! After receiving the guild leaders approval, Red -Eyed ck Dragon closes the private chat window, excitedly tells his three teammates: Lets go! Lets call our people, lets head to no.6 newbie vige right now! The blonde beauty Sky Dragon flicks her hair: Oh? No.6 newbie vige again? This wouldnt be that guy called Nemesis giving you a shout, and youre running over, is it? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: The redhead little Lolita Sky Dragon looks quite dejected though: Uncle Red-Eyed, why is it that Ive added Nemesis like several times as a friend, but he never epts it? Maybe he doesnt like LOLIs. Red-Eyed ck Dragon casually replied: Alright, lets hurry, well exin on the way. This is the guild leaders order, if werete our bonus will be deducted this month! Alright. The three teammates answer listlessly, following him and leaving the training area. In Su Yus maniption, under the crowd, the Nn Vige square is full of turbulence. Zhan Tianjian brings his team here first, beginning to patiently wait. During this time, arge number of Zhan Tian guild members gather from all directions, slowly umting four to five hundred people, upying half the square. Emperor Blood ys the Sky and the Red -Eyed ck Dragon also rush over from other novice viges. In Evolution, its quite easy to move between viges, all you need to do is talk with the NPC [Carter] in the vige, without any cost. This makes it easier for yers to team up with friends who are not in the same vige, and facilitate everyone to move from popted viges to less popted ones to level up. As for snatching hidden quests after moving vige, you dont need to worry about this. Each hidden quest has the unique attribute. Once a yer gets the hidden quest, regardless if he doesnt do it, or fails the task, other viges yers or even yers on foreign servers will not be able to trigger this quest. Emperor Bloods guild members also quickly arrive. Upon arriving at the square, they surround Emperor Blood ys the Sky and the Red-Eyed ck Dragon in the middle. Gradually, two to three hundred people gather, upying a quarter of the square. Seeing the people from Emperor Blood, many people from the Zhan Tian guild are furious, after all, the Forum Storm has not yet subsided. So they are all itching to start a fight, wishing their boss would order them to wipe out the opposing party. The people from the Zhan Tian guild show aggression towards the opponent. Overlord Tiger also proposes to Zhan Tianjian: Boss, should we take the initiative and dete Emperor Bloods arrogance? No need. Zhan Tianjian surprisingly remains calm: The right to summon the BOSS is in their hands, we first find a way to snatch this BOSS, then wipe them out. Alright, boss. Overlord Tiger replies, and flexes his green-quality double-handed sword at the other side. Emperor Blood ys the Sky ignores Overlord Tigers actions. He knows that his men are not opponents of the Zhan Tian guild, so he vehemently restrains his subordinates from stimting the Zhan Tian guilds sensitive nerves. On the square, the two major guilds have formed tworge groups, leaving a clearly demarcated line in the middle. Both sides do not make a move, instead they be locked in a standoff, filled with hostility.. Chapter 27 - 27: 27. Dragon King Strike _1 Chapter 27: 27. Dragon King Strike _1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu stood behind the vige chief, watching the face-off between the two groups with a nonchnt expression. He summoned the Zhan Tian guild here to screw them over, of course. The Star-forged Dragon King, as a powerful level 84 NPC, definitely wouldnt be killed by beginners. On the contrary, if arge number of yers are attacking it, it would annoy the Star-forged Dragon King, and a single Dragon Breath would be enough to annihte all these hundreds of people in the square. As for screwing over the Emperor Bloods Guild while dealing with Zhan Tians, Su Yu bore no guilt. Although the Emperor Blood guild cleaned up its actter in the game and actively cooperated with Countrys overall strategic nning, the earlier Emperor Blood Guild was undeniably a despicable one. It wouldnt matter if they were screwed over. The two major guilds are facing off in the square, and the official forum offline is exploding. One of the posts titled shocking! Zhan Tian guild and Emperor Blood ys the Sky guild confront each other in the square of No. 6 newbie vige, likely to sh! was tremendously popr! Within a few minutes, this post had received hundreds of responses. The poster also included a video. In the video, Zhan Tianjian led the guild members to stand on the right side of the square, and Emperor Blood ys the Sky, Red -Eyed ck Dragon led the Emperor Blood gang to stand on the left side of the square. Both sides red at each other, with a posture as if they would start fighting with just a few words of disagreement! Theizens in the forum were excited: Holy shit! Are these two major guilds gearing up for war? Red -Eyed ck Dragon left the disgusting Zhan Tian guild to join Emperor Blood ys the Sky, it should be Emperor Blood ys the Sky wanting to help him make a statement, right? Stop talking nonsense! Red-Eyed ck Dragon was never a member of Zhan Tian! He is intentionally framing our guild! It takes two to tango, you say Red-Eyed ck Dragon is deliberately framing you, why would he falsely use you for no reason? Well anyway, the Emperor Blood Guild isnt any better! Theyre even grinding in the No. 2 newbie vige! Gradually, theizens discussion starts to derail, and a me war erupts under the post. Of course, many more yers immediately logged in after seeing the post and headed towards the No. 6 newbie vige to see whats happening. A huge stream of onlookers appeared next to the carriage driver of the No. 6 newbie vige, making their way to the vige square like a flood. It felt a bit like the surge of vacationers during national holidays on major sightseeing locations. In no time, arge crowd of yers rushed in and the vast vige square was filled with people. Apart from the border where the two major guilds were confronting each other, there were people everywhere. Likewise, the spectating yers were more than happy to watch the spectacle, and urged the two guilds: Were in ce, when are you guys going to start fighting? Quick, quick! Zhan Tian Guild, you guys have more people, you go first! Exactly, dont back out! If you want to be the number one guild, you must shine in this battle! No one wants to join a wimpy guild. Beers, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge over here! Zhan Tianjian did not expect so many yers to join the fray. Seeing the crowd stretching as far as the eye could see, and the crowd still growing, even the seasoned Zhan Tianjian felt a little jittery. But Zhan Tianjian also knew that he had to do something. Currently, he has five to six hundred people on his side and Emperor Blood only has around three hundred. If he didnt make the first move, it would indeed give the impression of cowardice to the watching crowd, which would not be good for future guild recruitment. As such, Zhan Tianjian softly cleared his throat and stepped forward from his group. He shouted across to the other side: Emperors Blood ys the Sky! You pretended to be us, blocked the vige entrance and charged entry fees. How should we settle this? Seeing Zhan Tianjian speak, the spectators knew that the climax was about to arrive! They all stopped talking and switched to spectator mode. The hubbub on the field quieted down significantly. Emperor Blood ys the Sky was clearly prepared. He also stepped out from the crowd and calmly replied: You know the dirty things you did yourself! I just want to ask you one thing, why did you make Red-Eyed ck Dragon scapegoat the innocent Mu Yun guild? Heh! Scapegoat? Zhan Tianjian mocked: It looks like you guys wont shed a tear until you see the coffin! I have enough evidence here to prove Zhan Tianjian abruptly halted his speech. Because, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened dramatically! The originally white sky was filled withrge amounts of bluish-purple light, and a huge phantom emerged behind the clouds! Quick, look! Whats that?! a yer pointed at the sky and shouted loudly. Other yers also looked up towards the sky. Above their heads, the huge dragon shadow plunged through the clouds, leaving all yers in a stunned silence. At the same time, the countdown for Su Yus [Annies Revenge] mission changed to 00:05. Su Yus face turned serious. He walked forward two steps, standing right next to the vige chief. The vige chief turned his head and gave Su Yu, this unfamiliar young man, a curious nce. However, his attention was also directed at the sky, and he didnt kick Su Yu out. The phantom of the Star-forged Dragon King, Aurelion Sol, rapidly erged in the yers vision till it became stifling. Star-forged Dragon King Aurelion Sol Level: ??? Health: ??? This was a godly four-wed dragon emanating a deep blue starlight, just its head alone wasrger than the entire square! At this moment, sitting on its ws was a petite Ioli in a red hood, the Ioli NPC Annie! Upon seeing Su Yu down below, Annies eyes spouted furious mes. Its him! Annie pointed at Su Yu from below and added a [fire mark] to Su Yu. The red [fire mark] rose above Su Yus head, revealing Su Yus location without a doubt. Su Yu was shocked, he quickly put on the face mask he prepared beforehand, preventing any yers from seeing his face. Because he was wearing leather armour right now, members from the two major guilds couldnt recognize him either. The Star-forge Dragon King took a nce at Su Yu. But when it saw Nn Viges vige chief beside Su Yu, its figure paused slightly. Due to the special status of the vige chief, it didnt want to hurt him as that would lead to considerable trouble. So, it decided not to use its breath attack, instead, it swooped down from the sky with Annie towards the ground and reached out with its sharp ws aiming for Su Yus spot. It was as if Su Yu was frightened silly, standing still without moving. When Dragon Kings sharp ws were only a few meters away from him, he lightly exhaled. [sh Skill] ! Zoom! Su Yu turned into a beam of white light and disappeared from the spot. Boom! The Star-forged Dragon Kings enormous ws scraped the ground, leaving a gaping hole several meters wide. By touch, the Dragon King knew that it didnt hit Su Yu. However, as the proud Dragon King, it obviously didnt strike again. After ring at Su Yu who had teleported twenty meters away, it prepared to leave with Annie. As for the chief of Nn Vige, during the Dragon Kings attack on Su Yu, a dim eggshell-like shield appeared around him. And since he wasnt the Dragon Kings primary target, he, an old man, was not hurt at all.. Chapter 28 - 28: 28, Tear of the Goddess Upgrade 1 Chapter 28: Tear of the Goddess Upgrade 1 Trantor: 549690339 As Su Yu dodged the attack, his task log had an update: Ding! Epic Hidden Task [Annies Revenge]pleted! Congrattions, you have received the reward: Level Up for [Tears of the Goddess], Experience Points X1000. Congrattions, you have triggered the main plot: [Goldfinch Empires Glory]. Please go to Vige Chief Aimon to initiate the main plot! [Tears of the Goddess (Epic)] essory Magic Power Limit +1000 Attribute: Provides spell strength, equal to 1% of your maximum magic power limit. The attributes are decent! Su Yu was very satisfied. The [Tears of the Goddess] after leveling up, increased the magic power from 600 points to 1000 points! In addition, the new attribute of [Tears of the Goddess] can enhance the spell strength by a percentage of the maximum magic power. Currently, it can enhance Su Yus spell strength by 11 points, equivalent to providing Su Yu with another level-10 weapon! However, now is not the time to admire the attributes of [Tears of the Goddess]. Su Yu turned back and nced at the crowd in the town square. The ranged yers in the square had begun to attack the [Star-forged Dragon King]. Arrows, magic bullet, the druids [Moonfire Spell]. Arge number of attacks and spells flew towards the [Star-forged Dragon King]. They hit the Dragon King, deducting one point of health with each attack. No one knew who had initiated the attack. However, facing a boss with an unknown level and health bar, most yers attacked it with an experimental mentality, maybe they could kill it? The [Star-forged Dragon King]pletely disregarded these trivial attacks. After all, none of them could breach its scale armor. It ascended into the sky with Annie, flying towards the clouds, preparing to leave. But at this moment, a blood-red arrow arrived like lightning, urately hitting Annies chest! A bold white figure representing True Damage appeared above Annies head. Annie cried out in pain. This shot was from the little girl from the Sky Dragon. She noticed Annie sitting in the dragons ws, thought Annie might be the weak point of thisrge boss, so she attempted to shoot Annie. As for the blood-red arrow, it was a skill attached to her rare lineage [Bloodline of the Vampire Longbow Captain] C [Heart Piercing Arrow]. [Heart Piercing Arrow (Rare)]: Shoots a powerful arrow, dealing 500% true damage to a target, cooldown time 12 hours. The so-called True Damage is an attack that ignores armor and magic resistance. Annie had been in an [Immune] state, but the [Immune] state could only negate physical and magic damage, it was powerless against true damage. So, after being hit by the [Heart Piercing Arrow], Annie suffered a serious injury and coughed up blood. Seeing Annie injured, the [Star-forged Dragon King] became furious. Arge amount of blue energy burst from its nostrils and its dragon face became particrly ferocious. 6 hours ago, Su Yu merely broke Annies toys, not hurting her, and the [Star-forged Dragon King] traveled a long distance to kill Su Yu. But now Annie was actually hurt! How could it bear it? The old dragons eyes turned blood red. It threw a [Star Healing] to Annie, then turned around and spouted a breath of pure star fire towards the little girl from the Sky Dragon. Moreover, the range of its breath was vast, at least covering three quarters of the square! The scene switches back to Su Yu. After Su Yu dodged the Dragon Kings attack, he immediately ran towards the edge of the square at the fastest speed. His speed reached 12 meters per second, fast as a gust of wind. Although the square was packed with yers, in less than a dozen seconds, Su Yu had already reached the edge of the square. At this point, the [Star-forged Dragon King]s breath fell. Upon seeing this shower of dragon breath, Su Yu immediately casted the recently refreshed [sh Skill]. Zoom! With another sh of light, Su Yu teleported forward by 20 meters. He escaped the square in the nick of time and rushed into a nearby alley. Boom! A breath hit the ground, and an earth-shattering bang exploded behind Su Yu. The sound was so deafening that Su Yu almost lost his hearing for a moment. Looking back, the Dragon Kings deep blue breath had nearly covered the entire square. -9999! -9999! -9999! Numerousrge numbers popped up over the yers heads. Those hit by the breath were directly turned into light and vanished, instantly emptying arge area of the square. The poor vige chief and several other NPCs also suffered. The vige chiefs grayish magical shield struggled against the dragons breath for two seconds before shattering. The pitiful vige chief was engulfed in rolling dragons breath, his fate unknown. As for the Star-forged Dragon King. After breathing out, it nced downwards and saw that the culprit (the Sky Dragon Ioli) had been eliminated. It then soared up into the sky, growing smaller until it disappeared into the clouds with Annie. After the Star-forged Dragon King left, the surviving yers were rendered speechless from shock. Thousands of yers, annihted by a single breath? This isnt a boss that yers at this stage can handle, right? A troll yer half-knelt down in the direction the Star-forged Dragon King flew off, respectfully proiming, The promised three years are up. Farewell, Dragon King! This drew a round of side nces. Su Yu leaned against the wall of an alley, catching his breath. That was really too close! If he had been a second slower, he would have been killed instantly like the yers in the square. Luckily, he ran fast. He checked his friend list in themunication interface. The names of Zhan Tianjian and the Red-Eyed ck Dragon had turned gray, indicating that they had gone offline and were presumably killed by the dragons breath. Snow Falls name was still lit, but he had no idea whether she was a survivor in the square or if she didnt turn up at all. However, Su Yu didnt chat with Snow Fall. He found a deserted corner, changed into his full mage equipment, and went back to the edge of the square. There was now a carpetposed of blue stars covering the ground of the entire square. It was a residual effect caused by the Star-forged Dragon Kings breath clinging to the earth. The remnants of the breath kept emitting bright, cyan light. It looked quite spectacr! But for now, anyone directly stepping onto it would likely be immediately killed by the remnant substance. Su Yu didnt rush. He stood patiently on the outskirts of the square. He nned to return to the squareter to seek the vige chief to trigger his main storyline. not knowing how the elder was now- While he was waiting, Su Yu opened the official forum using the games built-in program. As he expected, the forum was in chaos. Thousands of victims were passionately discussing topics rted to the Star-forged Dragon King. The most popr post was a video: Breaking News! Mysterious four-wed divine dragon appears above newbie town no.6, kills thousands of yers within seconds, and then vanishes (video included) In the video, the Star-forged Dragon King wiped out all yers in mere seconds, astonishing countless viewers who hadnt witnessed the scene: My God! What a powerful BOSS! Why did such a strong BOSS appear in a newbie town? Both the Zhan Tian Guild and Emperor Blood Guild are in big trouble. This is absolutely an unwarranted disaster. Right! Especially the Red-Eyed ck Dragon, who was kicked out of the game twice in a day! Ive decided! This is going to be my mount one day! I swear I will ride it! (This one was posted by Su Yu when he was bored.) Can the guy upstairs just look at himself in the mirror? Ive looked in the mirror! But only after that did I realize what a handsome man I am! Chapter 29 - 29: 29, It’s time to guide the players onto the right path_l Chapter 29: Its time to guide the yers onto the right path_l Trantor: 549690339 The row on the forum was still brewing. Before long, Zhan Tianjian personally posted with his ID, using the Emperor Blood guild of summoning the Dragon King BOSS, triggering this crisis in the beginner vige. Emperor Blood must take responsibility for the deaths of over a thousand yers! Zhan Tianjian dered. At the same time, Zhan Tianjian produced credible evidence that several hours earlier, yers from Emperor Blood had impersonated them in order to collect a vige entry fee. The people from Emperor Blood, of course, refused to admit it and waged a fierce war of words with Zhan Tianjians people on the official forum. As a rich second-generation, Emperor Blood ys the Sky was skilled in tactics like buying water armies, manipting fishing boats. Under the power of Flower Coins, a plethora of water armies flooded the official forum. Even with Zhan Tianjians indisputably solid evidence, they were severely bashed by the water armies, and their post was filled with negativements below. The entire official forum had be a smoky chaos. Looking at the chaos on the official forum, Su Yu frowned and closed the forum page. Following this online feud, the reputation of Zhan Tian guild would surely take a significant hit. Moreover, their repeated setbacks in the game mean that Zhan Tian guild will not have as smooth a progression as it did in his previous life. But Su Yu was thinking further ahead. His ultimate goal in suppressing the Zhan Tian guild was to deal with the Skuru people. While he had already restricted the development of the Zhan Tian guild, the restricting process also generated a lot of negative effects. For instance, the few hundred spectator yers who were innocent casualties in the Square, and therge amount of attention the official forum was attracting. Many yers werent leveling up and were engaging in feud on the forum instead. He needed to devise a way to reorient the yers attention towards enhancing their capabilities and leveling up quickly rather than wasting time bickering on the forum. What should he do? Su Yu pondered. His thoughtssted roughly five minutes. Got it! Five minutester, a light bulb went off in Su Yus mind: I remember, for the first time a yerpletes the level 5 dungeon, the system will give a chance for a server-wide announcement! Perhaps, through the loudhailer chatting session after a server-wide announcement, he will be able to guide the yers back on the right path! With this thought, Su Yu no longer hesitated. He raised his [Frost Shield] and strode towards where the vige chief had fallen. At this point, 15 minutes had passed since the [Star-forged Dragon King] had left, and the remnants of his breath had almost entirely dissipated from the square. However, the small residue that remained was still not to be overlooked. Standing on thend that had been corroded by the breath, undting numbers like -5, -8, still sporadically appeared above Su Yus head indicating minor damage. However, Su Yus [Frost Shield] had a shield value of 208 points, which was more than enough to hold up. Coming to the vige chiefs side, the vige chief Eamon was lying on the ground, panting heavily, with a lot of glowing things corroding his skin. Su Yu could do nothing about the chiefs condition as he was not a priest and did not have healing spells, nor did he have a healing potion on him. But Su Yu still bent down to check on him, asking with concern, Vige Chief Eamon, do you need me to call the vige doctor? No need, I can hold on. The chief struggled to sit up from the ground. Su Yu immediately reached out to help him. Once the vige chief sat up straight, he looked up at Su Yu, Adventurer, if Im not mistaken, you must have provoked the Star-Forged Dragon King, havent you? The vige chief stared at Su Yu as if he could see through everything. Yes, it was me. But it all started with Annie Su Yu didnt hide anything, and detailed the second half of the process with [Tear of Savie Goddess] to the chief. Vige Chief Eamon listened attentively. After listening, he sighed, Ah! It was I who let Sam adopt Annie. I knew Annie was extraordinary; I didnt expect it would escte to this point today Heres what, Adventurer, you report this to the Empires Princess Alyssa, and let her decide what we should do next. But to see Princess Alyssa is not as easy as ordinary people like us would think. You need to earn some credentials, such as the proof of power like [Head of the Howling Moon Wolf King] Vige Chief Eamon continued rambling. Meanwhile, Su Yus mission log also changed. Ding! Congrattions on triggering the main storyline [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire]! [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (1/100)] Mission Requirements: Level up to level 10, participate in killing the level 10 BOSS [Howling Moon Wolf Leader], and obtain the mission item [Head of the Howling Moon Wolf King]. Mission Reward: [Viges Best Horse (Mount)] X1, [Viges Best Sword (Consumable)] X1, Experience Points X2000. In Evolution, yers can ride mounts when they reach level 10. It was unexpected that the first link of the main story would reward a mount, which felt pretty good! Regarding the Star-forged Dragon King Aurelion Sol who just flew by, if yers were powerful enough, they could even force it to be their mount. However, it was unlikely anyone could pull it off. Dont worry, Vige Chief, I will y the Howling Moon Wolf King as soon as possible! Su Yu assured. Go for it, adventurer! May the radiance of the princess be with you! The vige chief nodded at Su Yu and went off to help the other yers. Having said goodbye to the vige chief, Su Yu arrived at the area where the level 8 monster [Forest Gray Bear] was located. [Forest Gray Bear Iv8] Health: 120 Su Yu now has only one goal level up quickly to level 5. After Su Yu leveled up to 4, he killed over a hundred level 5 [Silver Snakes] and gained 510 experience points, fought the Silver Snake boss solo for 50 experience points,pleted the [Tinas Resistance] mission for 2250 experience points, and [Annies Revenge] for 1000 experience points. To level up from 4 to 5, 4000 points of experience are needed. Now he needs just 190 more points to fill his experience bar! Level 5, here Ie! Su Yu thought, as the [Lightning Bolt] in his hand was fired at the Gray Bear. -101 The light blue magical damage number popped out above the Gray Bears head. The Gray Bear wasnt killed instantly. The defense of the [Forest Gray Bear] is high, and because it was 4 levels higher than Su Yu, under level suppression, Su Yu could only deal half the damage of [Lightning Bolt]. [Forest Gray Bear] was attacked and roared as it charged at Su Yu. But Su Yu was prepared, with a wave of his hand he threw out a [Fireball] scroll. -33 [Forest Gray Bear]s health bar was cleared, and with a whimper, it fell to the ground. Ding! You killed the [Forest Gray Bear Iv8], reward: 8 X experience points, [Bears Paw] Xl. Su Yu roughly calcted, each bear gave 8 experience points. So, he needed to kill another 23 bears to level up? With this in mind, Su Yu didnt hold back anymore. One [Lightning Bolt] after another was released from his hand. One [Electric Chain] after another spread out. Fireballs got activated one by one from the scroll. One by one, the bears fell at his feet. Little by little, experience umted, filling up the experience bar. Finally, after killing 23 Gray Bears, a burst of golden light shed, and Su Yu leveled up to level 5! Chapter 30 - 30: 30, Upgrade, Purchase Supplies_l Chapter 30: Upgrade, Purchase Supplies_l Trantor: 549690339 After leveling up to 5, Su Yus attribute panel became: Character: [Nemesis] Level: Iv5 upation: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 9, Agility: 9, Intelligence: 32, Constitution: 9, Luck: 10 Spell Power: 54 Health Points: 120 Mana Points: 1180 Defense: 40 Spell Critical Rate: o Movement Speed: 1.6 Experience Points: 23/5000 Wealth: 7,378,883,860 spiritual energy coins Equipment: [Crescent Wand IV3 (Rare)], [Novice Mages Robe IVI (Rare)], [Cloth Boots IVI (Rare)], [Linen Gloves Iv4 (Rare)], [Tear of the Goddess (Epic)] Skills: [Magic Bullet (Rare)], [Star Pointer (Legendary)] [Invisibility Tech (Rare)]. After leveling up to 5, Su Yu can now use the [Wind Velvet Belt] produced by the silver snake. Su Yu simply upgraded it to rare quality and equipped it. [Wind Velvet Belt Iv5 (Rare)] Defense+10 Backpack Capacity+ 5 Spell Pration+ 5 His original backpack only had 20 slots, so during the leveling process, he was forced to discard a lot of materials. Now with the [Wind Velvet Belt] equipped, his backpacks capacity has increased to 25 slots, greatly easing the predicament of insufficient backpack space. When I reach Goldfinch City, theres a task in the Blood Rose tavern south of the city to expand the backpack capacity His thoughts gradually drifted away. However. since he sessfully leveled up to 5. the next thing to do is of course to do dungeon raids. Su Yu first nced at his friend list. Zhan Tianjian and Red -Eyed ck Dragon were both online, but neither of them had sent him any messages. Perhaps they had be cautious of Su Yu upon realizing something from what happened earlier. Su Yu didnt start a private chat with them either. Looking at the name Zhan Tianjian, a 1v4 indicator was hanging in front of his name. Since even Zhan Tianjian, an elite yer, hasnt reached level 5, its highly probable that other yers havent reached level 5 either. He still had plenty of time. Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, put on the leather armor that increased his movement speed, and returned to Nn Vige. Two minutester, Su Yu returned to the vige. After returning to the vige, he didnt rush to the dungeon raid, but went to the magic hut first. At this stage, the damage from the [Fireball Skill] scroll and the [Ice Arrow] scroll was too low and was no longer effective. Recalling the old mage saying we have received a shipment of new goods, Su Yu decided to go take a look. Inside the magic hut, Su Yu said his purpose. The old magician Prism was overjoyed. He quickly took out a brand new exchange list, offering it to Su Yu with both hands as if presenting valued treasures: Young man, Ive brought back an array of first-level scrolls from the Holy Temple at no small expense, guaranteed to be satisfactory! Su Yu took the list and looked at it The [Fireball Skill] and the Ice Arrow are zero-level spells, and they are priced at 50 spiritual energy coins. The exchange list now has many more first-level spells, such as fiery spells [Rain of Fire], [Lesser Fireball]; icy spells [Ice Cone Skill], [Frost Nova]; earthly spells [Earths Shield], [Summoning Rock Element]; and lightning spells [sh Chain], [Thunderfall Skill], etc. The price for these first-level spells is 200 spiritual energy coins. This time there are quite a few good things. Su Yu expressed his satisfaction by nodding. Well, I, Prism, may not be good at many things, but I do have connections. Otherwise, I wouldnt have gotten hold of this cushy spot in Nn Vige. The old mage said proudly. But do you think Im a fool? The average price for first-level scrolls in Goldfinch City is around 150 spiritual energy coins, yet you dare to ask me for 200?! Su Yu abruptly changed tone, bing rather rude. Even though hes very wealthy and doesnt care about the money, that doesnt mean the other party can trick him like hes some sort of gullible fool! Seeing the inted prices set by the old mage, Su Yu felt very annoyed. Hearing Su Yus words, the old mage was shocked as he didnt expect Su Yu to be so well-informed about the outside worlds prices. He hastily exined, You misunderstood, young man! Nn Vige is very far from the big cities, transportation is not convenient, so charging you 200 spiritual energy coins for a first-level scroll is already a favorable price. Cut the crap. Su Yu rudely interrupted him: 140 a piece, tell me if youll sell or not? If you wont sell, Ill go find Sean, the viges apothecary. 140, this. The old mage thought for a long time, finally sighing: Fine, 140 it is. Think of it as a sort ofpensation for you, young man. Selling the first-level scrolls to Su Yu at 140 a piece, he wouldnt make much profit. But to retain Su Yu as a big customer, the old mage gritted his teeth and agreed. And so, Su Yu purchased 700 scrolls from the Magic House at a price of 140 spiritual energy coins each, spending a total of 98,000 spiritual energy coins. Out of the first-level scrolls, he bought 100 of each type, except for [Earths Shield]. As for potions, there werent any new ones on the old mages exchange list, so Su Yu simply bought 200 bottles of [Low-Level Mana Recovery Potion] for reserves and concluded the deal. After leaving the Magic House, he first went to the warehouse and put the [Light Cloud Round Shield], [Scales of Chest Armor], and the [True Word Art. Shield] skill scroll that were dropped by the Silver Snake boss up for auction. At the same time, he put the unnecessary [Fireball Skill] and Ice Arrow scrolls up for auction at a price of 30 spiritual energy coins. Thus, a lot of space was freed up in his bag. After all that, Su Yu effortlessly found [Jenny], the dungeon merchant, and spent 10 spiritual energy coins to purchase a level-5 dungeon ticket. With a wave of her wand, a pale blue [Teleportation Portal] quickly opened behind Jenny. Hello adventurer, which dungeon would you like to enter? asked Jenny in a friendly manner. There are a total of 3 dungeons at level 5. The first is a dungeon built around the level-4 wild beast [Slope Sheep], named [Green Pasture]; The second one is built around the level-5 wild beast Silver Snake, named [Silver Snake under the Green City]; The third one is built around the level- 6 wild beast [Ferocious Buffalo], named [Thunder Cliff]. Of course, while the small monsters in the dungeons are all level 5, the bosses will be one or two levels higher. Su Yu, given the choice of these three dungeons, would definitely choose one thats easier for him. Su Yu clicked on [Green Pasture] on the far left and stepped into the teleportation portal. The familiar sense of dizziness and weightlessness swept over him as Su Yu disappeared into the teleportation array. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the midst of an endless grasnd. You have entered the Level 5 Dungeon [Green Pasture]. Dungeon Introduction: A peaceful group of sheep used to live on the Green Pasture. However, something made the sheep be aggressive and violent(200 words omitted) Your mission is to breach Sheep Vige and eliminate the vige chief! Chapter 31 - 31: 31. [Green Pasture] Copy_1 Chapter 31: 31. [Green Pasture] Copy_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu was no stranger to this dungeon. In his previous life, as a member of the Mu Yun Guild, he frequently helped low-level yers grind in dungeons. This was done partly to fulfill thepanys performance indicators and partly to strengthen the overall power of humankind. He had visited the [Green Pasture] dungeon at least 20 times, so much so that he could make his way into the Sheep Vige and find the vige chief with his eyes closed. Of course, the prerequisite was clearing the monsters along the way. Like now. After only a few steps up the mountain path, four goats grazing ahead looked at him, their eyes bloodshot. [Aggressive Goat Lv5] Health: 300 Damage: 25 Skill: [Fury Rush]: Aplish a rush towards the target, increasing the damage of the next attack by 50%. Cooldown 15 seconds. [Sheep Herding (Passive)]: For everypanion within 40 meters, the damage dealt increases by 10%. Monsters inside the dungeon followed the Elite model, which had 3-3 times more health than regr monsters outside. Furthermore, these goats were not to be underestimated. With an attack of 25 points, the goat inflicted 10-13 points of damage on defensive warriors and guardian knights of the same level. If all four attacked at once, and considered the passive effect of [Sheep Herding (Passive)] and the damage increase from [Fury Rush], tank sses could possibly not withstand the attack. In the early stages of the game, goats were often referred to as killer of novice tanks. Upon seeing Su Yu, the four goats charged at him, bleating aggressively. They looked less like goats and more like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves. Su Yu stood his ground. When the four goats were less than four meters away from him, he activated the [Frost Nova] scroll. A tremendous ring of ice exploded from around Su Yu, quickly spreading to the goats feet. -43 -43 -42 -44 The damage from [Frost Nova] wasnt much, but its control effect was exceptional. Therge ice crystals firmly imprisoned the goats, rendering them motionless. Su Yu wanted to experiment with the scroll first, so instead of using [sh Chain], he activated a [Rain of Fire] scroll next. The fire element emerged from the scroll, swirling above the goats heads into a fiery cloud that resembled moltenva. Large streaks of fire rains dropped down from the molten cloud, hitting the goats on their heads. -43 -41 -40 [Rain of Fire] dealt multi-segment damage, with a fire rain hitting the goat each second, dealing around 40 points of damage. The goats moaned pitifully under the onught of the fire rain, but they were bound by the ice and unable to move, forced to withstand the assault. Three secondster, the freezing effect of [Frost Nova] wore off. For control-type effects like [Freeze], their effectiveness decreases with each sessive use on the same target. For example, Su Yus first [Frost Nova] could freeze the goats for three seconds, the second [Frost Nova] would only freeze for 1.5 seconds, and if he cast a third [Frost Nova], the freezing effect would barely exist. After enduring three seconds of a chilling and scorching ordeal, each goat lost about 170 points of health and their health dropped to half. Upon breaking free, the goats once again charged at him, their eyes red, bleating angrily. But these goats were no longer a threat. Su Yu casually used [sh Chain]. -161 157 -156 -163 The goats drained their health, fell down, and gave off a tempting aroma. Su Yu moved forward to check out the drops from the four goats. Smelling the familiar aroma of roasted goat meat, he suddenly felt hungry. However, he didnt learn the [Cooking] secondary vocation, he could only sigh, pick up the materials and equipment dropped by the goats, and walk ahead along the mountain road. The [Green Pasture] instance, in addition to [Raging Goat], also has [Proud Goat] (has skill Proud Stare, which can reduce target damage), [Insane Goat] (has skill Leap Attack), Corrupted Goat (attack carries high shadow damage) and so on. Under Su Yus high output, all goats were equal, with no goat able to withstand his high damage. After clearing two waves of goat monsters, he encountered the first BOSS of the instance C [Foaming Goat Leader]. [Foaming Goat Leader Iv6] Health: 1100 Attack: 44 The [Foaming Goat Leader] can be considered as a taller and stronger version of [Hostile Goat]. Aside from having two passive abilities [Sheep Herding (Passive)] and [Fury Rush], it also possesses [Sheep Herd Summon], [Copper Iron Skin] (increases defence and attack) and [Leap Attack] abilities. However, for Su Yu, this BOSS was not difficult at all. He summoned the [Rock Elemental] to taunt the BOSS and used [Frost Nova] to control the sheep herd. Then, he stood in the same ce dealing massive damage to the BOSS body. After the [Foaming Goat Leader] eliminated the [Rock Elemental] and used [Leap Attack] to approach Su Yu, Su Yu used [sh Skill] to dodge. Despite [Foaming Goat Leader] having 1100 points of health and activating [Copper Iron Skin] in between, it was easily defeated by him in less than 8 seconds due to his heavy bombardment. Picking up the BOSSs drops, Su Yu continued to move forward. After clearing a few more waves of monster goats, Su Yu encountered the second BOSS, [Beautiful Goat Leader]. The difficult point of [Beautiful Goat Leader] is that it splits into three when its health drops below 50%. One of them is the main body and the other two are mirrors. The main instance and the mirrors will perform [Charm Attacks] on the yer. However, the BOSSs main body and the mirrors have slight differences, for example, the pupil colour might vary, or the horns might have slightly different shapes. yers must identify the BOSSs main body from these differences and suppress its health below 30% to avoid a group wipe. Su Yu was very familiar with this BOSS, and quickly identified which one was the main body from the three copies. A series of high damage single-target spellster, the second BOSS was sessfully defeated. After defeating the second BOSS and entering Sheep Vige, he stood before thest BOSS of the entire instance, the [Sheep Vige Chief]. The [Sheep Vige Chief] is a spectacled wise man with a quite unique mechanism. The Chief has 3000 points of health and 100 points of attack power, a regr five-man squad is no match for him. But before the fight starts, the Chief will pose 10 questions to yer. For each right answer, his health and attack power will decrease by 9%. However, Su Yu was familiar with these riddles in his past life, naturally, he wasnt challenged by the Chiefs questions. Young man, the Chief asked after seeing Su Yu,Do you know the three great human empires of this continent? Of course I do. Goldfinch Empire, Lai Yin Empire, and Wind Chime Empire, Su Yu answeredposedly. Then do you know what the founding purpose of the mage power Elemental Dome is? the Chief continued asking. To seek endless knowledge. How many teeth does the Star-forged Dragon King have? What does shando mean in the Elvishnguage? Great Druid. What does a Pandaman usually say when saying goodbye? Ill treat next time. Su Yu perfectly answered all 10 questions, resulting in the [Sheep Vige Chief]s health dropping down to a sorry 300 points. By casually throwing out a [Lightning Bolt] and a [Lesser Fireball Skill] scroll, the instance was sessfully cleared.. Chapter 32 - 32: 32, Server-wide announcement, Level 50 = School District House in Tier 3 city? _1 Chapter 32: Server-wide announcement, Level 50 = School District House in Tier 3 city? _1 Trantor: 549690339 The moment Su Yu defeated the[Vige Chief of Sheep Vige], a system prompt sounded: You have been detected as the first yer to clear a level 5 dungeon. You are rewarded with 1 World Prestige point. A server-wide announcement will be made next. Do you wish to remain anonymous? The reward is World Prestige!?! Su Yu was taken aback. The rewards for being the first to clear a dungeon are random. They could be equipment, pet eggs, mounts, potions Anything might show up. But this time, the reward was World Prestige. World Prestige is a precious resource only granted by main quests. Simply put, World Prestige is a measure of a yers standing in the game world. If a yers World Prestige is o and their level isnt high, then no NPC in the world would regard them seriously; If a yers World Prestige reaches 1, various small powers in the world will look at the yer differently; If a yers World Prestige reaches 10, all major powers in the world, including top-tier forces like Silver Pine Spire and Elemental Dome, would greatly favor this yer; If a yers World Prestige reaches 50, even Princess Alyssa of the Empire would be respectful to this yer. Thats the hidden benefits of World Prestige. Moreover, World Prestige could be used to exchange for plenty of great items. For instance, now that Su Yu has 1 World Prestige point, he could use it to obtain a Barons title, allowing him to recruit a private army of ten NPC soldiers, and collect an annual sry from the Empire. Besides titles, he could also trade World Prestige for precious equipment, rare pet eggs, and mounts. You could say its a pretty fantastic reward! Just when Su Yu was deliberating on whether to use the World Prestige to get a title, the system interrupted his thoughts: Does the yer choose to be anonymous? Dont stay anonymous. After all, Evolution is a game created by the Singer Civilization, so privacy protection is thorough. Unless Su Yu himself spills the beans, not even the top hacker team of Blue Star, or even the Skuru people, could discover his real identity. So in the game, theres really no need to stay anonymous. [World Announcement: yer Nemesis sessfully cleared the level 5 dungeon Green Prairies. As the first yer to clear a level 5 dungeon, he is rewarded with 1 World Prestige point as an encouragement! We hope everyone will strive to catch up, and write their own chapter in Evolution!] [World Announcement: yer Nemesis sessfully cleared the level 5 dungeon Green Prairies. As the first yer to clear a level 5 dungeon, he is rewarded with 1 World Prestige point as an encouragement! We hope everyone will strive to catch up, and write their own chapter in Evolution!] [World Announcement: yer Nemesis] The system announcement sounded three times in a row. Additionally, the announcement was directly broadcasted into the ears of every online yer. Thus, be it yers in the leveling zone, the bustling square, or merchants peddling goods at the gate of the storehouse, everyone simultaneously quieted down to listen to the system announcement. After the announcements ended, an overwhelming wave of sound instantaneously nketed every yer-concentrated area. Youve got to be kidding me! Ive been in the game since the serverunch, and Im only at level 3 now! Our guild leader has been grinding in the creature area for 12 hours straight, and he only reached level 4 when he logged off! Notice this! Only one person was in the announcement! So did he solo the dungeon?! Solo a dungeon? Youre daydreaming! I cant even handle the creatures of the same level! Clearly hes using cheats! The game is rubbish, cheats are avable so early! Lets all quit, lets stand against cheats starting from me! You quit if you want, this is the first time Ive yed such a lifelike game. Dont assume what you cant do, others cant do either. Maybe Nemesis is truly a pro. The yers are heatedly discussing it. Whether in the in-game square or out-of-game forums, the name Nemesis is everywhere. Everyone was very curious about who this pro could be. Not only does he level up quickly, but he can also solo dungeons. Thats way too formidable! However, just as the yers discussion reached its peak, a young male voice suddenly came into every yers ears: Ahem, hello everyone! I am Nemesis. This was a chance for a worldwide broadcast granted by the system after Su Yu first cleared the dungeon. With this broadcast, Su Yu could speak his thoughts directly into every online yers ears. Even offline yers can listen to the yback after they log in. This worldwide broadcast was almost always used as an advertisement medium by big guilds in Su Yus past life, which is why guilds fiercelypeted for the first clear of a dungeon, in order to get this opportunity. The reason why Zhan Tianjian was able to guide an ordinary game studio throughyers of obstacles in his past life and eventually be the thirdrgest guild in the nation, even outdoing the big capital-backed Mu Yun Guild where Su Yu was, had a lot to do with this worldwide broadcast. And now, Su Yu is taking advantage of this opportunity. Speaking through the broadcast, Su Yu said, The reason I could swiftly level up to level 5 and solo a dungeon was because I aplished a hidden task, and a high-level NPC passing by added a buff for me. With this buff, leveling up was easy for me, and I breezed through the dungeon. Upon hearing Su Yus exnation, many yers felt relieved: Oh! So its a buff from a hidden mission, no wonder! I knew it. How could a yer solo a five-man dungeon? Heh! Theres nothing worth bragging about, I could have done it too! You? Dont kid yourself, could you even find a hidden mission? Well Contrary to the yers relief, hearing Su Yus exnation brought a bitter taste to Zhan Tianjians heart. Hearing Su Yus voice and knowing that he has missed a good opportunity to advertise his guild, he was already a bit regretful. Now hearing what Su Yu said, he couldnt help but curse in his heart: I cant believe your bullshit! When you were sweeping through the level 3 monster area, you said it was a buff from a high-level NPC passing by; during the IVIOO battle against Emperor Blood Imperial, it was also a buff from a high-level NPC passing by; now, youre still saying its a buff from a high-level NPC passing by? Is this high-level NPC your pet or something? Always following you, giving you buffs? Zhan Tianjian looked extremely grim, almost bursting out in frustration. Qingli, who was by his side, stopped handling his dagger and asked, Boss, whats wrong? Its nothing. Zhan Tianjian shook his head, took a deep breath, Lets continue, finish todays logged-in time. Alright. However, in their ears, Su Yus voice didnt stop, he continued to speak: Because of this high-level NPC, Ive learned some information unknown to everyone in the game. Now, Ill share this information with you all. As long as a yers level reaches 50, they will receive an enormous reward! I cant disclose what this reward is, but I can guarantee with my reputation that this reward isnt inferior to owning a house in a school district in a tier-3 city! So, strive to level up, everyone.. Chapter 33 - 33: 33, Sparks a heated debate across the Internet! 1 Chapter 33: Sparks a heated debate across the Inte! 1 Trantor: 549690339 Everything Su Yu said was the truth. When a yers level reaches 50, they be a third-tier professional within the game. (In Evolution 0-9 is for novice professionals; 10-29 for first-tier professionals; 30-49 for second-tier professionals; and 50-59 for third-tier professionals.) Third-tier professionals can bring their in-game powers into reality. Once they materialize, they can bepletely bulletproof! Mages and Priests, equipped with protective spells, could even withstand a barrage of light machine-gun fire! And those with superior defenses, such as defenders and knights, could withstand the damage of a Soviet-made RPG-7 40mm rocketuncher after bing third C tier! This is damage not even a field tank can withstand! The astonishing power possessed by these professions is far beyond the value of a single house in a school district. Moreover, in half a year, houses in school districts are not worth much. Nevertheless, Su Yus words still caused a sensation among the yers! At first, everyone didnt take the server-wide announcement seriously. Although Su Yu was very skilled at soloing dungeons, which they envied, it did not rted much to most of the yers. But now, its very different! The Level 50 Reward mentioned by Su Yu was rted to everyone, and it naturally moved them. Nn Viges Vige Square. The yers looked at each other in shock. After a while, a huge discussion broke out in the square, the volume several times louder than before! My God! A house in a third-tier citys school district?! Thats worth at least tens of thousands! Do you get it when you reach level 50? Does everyone get it? With such high rewards, wouldnt the gamepany go bankrupt? Cut it out, how is it possible? Why would a gamepany give you such benefits? Even though I dont quite believe it, I think it could be true! If Nemesis wasnt certain, why would he dare say so? Exactly! Theres no benefit to Nemesis for saying this, why would he lie to us? Enough talk everyone, Im off to level up. Im also going to level up. Given the quality of this game, even if there are no rewards, I will keep ying and eventually reach level 50. Lets go, to level up. The effect of the Big Trumpet was excellent, and the yers attention was shifted from the gossips about the two major guilds to proper leveling. Some yers verbally stated their disbelief, but their actions told otherwise, calling their friends to go level up. All the viges immediately experienced a leveling fever. Offline, in the official forum, the drama of the two major guilds was no longer appealing, the whole page was covered by Nemesis. Moreover, the issue quickly gained poprity! In just two hours, the topic Level 50 in Evolution equals a house in a third-tier citys school district? topped the Weibo trends! Of course, in an environment like Weibo, those who believed Su Yu were few. Most of them were hurling abuses: Herees another weirdo addicted to gaming, thinking leveling up could earn him a million-dor reward? Why not wish for the moon? Exactly! Heres the deal, if the reward for level 50 in this game really could be redeemed for a house in real life, I would eat my phone right then and there! Evolution discriminates against women! How could the role-ying character of a Priest be a woman in the demo? Arent the game developers implying we women are only qualified to be Priests? To be under the protection of others? Sisters, lets crash this sexist game together! What nonsense is this? How did it top my beautiful Xiaomeiren on the trending list? They must have bought some water army! Apart from Weibo, another post on Zhihu asking What do you think of a yers im in Evolution that reaching level 50, the reward from the game, is equivalent to a house in a third-tier citys school district? quickly rose to the hot list. However, simrly to Weibo, 99% of theizens below expressed their disbelief in this: Thanks for the invite, but I knew the second I saw this, it must be from some child who hasnt been smacked by society. Honestly, our hard-working people have to struggle for 40 years to squeeze a small house from capitalists, and a game level-up hands it out straight away? Would you believe that? Im in America, just put on a mask Cant you guys see this is just a promotion by the gamepany? Really concern for your intelligence. Just the same old tricks from the game operators, go away! Apart from Weibo and Zhihu, other tforms like Baidu and Bilibili have sparked a deep discussion over the same issue. The name Nemesis gained overnight sess, and became well-known among manyizens. However, Su Yu waspletely unaware of this. But even if he knew, he probably wouldnt care. Fame is the most useless thing in this era, he didnt really need it. Back to the game. Snow Fall was still solving a fairly difficult hidden task. Shortly after Su Yu spoke publicly, she received a private message. The message was from her brother, Snow Leopard: Snow Leopard: Luo Luo, I heard from Dad that you and Nemesis know each other well? Snow Falls eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, Bro, were not that close. But I do know quite a few of his deeds, like (300 words omitted) Snow Fall used a lot of text to describe all the deeds she knew about Nemesis. However, she didnt mention the matter of Nemesis summoning the [Star-forged Dragon King], because if the two guilds knew that Nemesis summoned the boss, it could cause him quite some trouble. Snow Leopard carefully read through the information sent by his sister. After reading, he replied: Could you ask him if the rewards he mentioned are true? Our department attaches great importance to this! Snow Fall joked: How should I ask? Seduce him? Snow Leopard: That wouldnt be a bad idea, just make sure not to sacrifice too much. Snow Fall: Returning to Su Yu. Three minutes after the Big Trumpet ended, Su Yu stood still, not moving at all. This was not because Su Yu was pondering something, but because he gotgged! Due to the server-wide announcement and the server-wide Big Trumpet, tens of thousands of yers tried to add him as a friend all at once. This caused the character Su Yu controlled tog like a PPT presentation. The root cause of this was the games imperfect bandwidth architecture in the early stage. Too much data at once could cause this kind of issue. Su Yu was left with a wry smile. He really did not expect so many people to add him as a friend. It was not until three minutester, when Su Yu managed to close the allow others to add you as a friend option in the settings, that his character slowly returned to normal. After returning to normal, Su Yu couldnt help but wipe his sweat, relieved: Thank goodness I wasnt disconnected from the server or kicked out of the dungeon, I havent looted the bosss body yet! Looking at the [Vige Head of Sheep Vige]s corpse in front of him. Su Yu suddenly noticed the bag dropped by the corpse was glistening with gold! Su Yu was startled: Could it be? A gold-grade equipment drop?! Chapter 34 - 34: 34. Leave the game, actualize strength_l Chapter 34: 34. Leave the game, actualize strength_l Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu stepped forward and picked up the bag dropped by [Sheep Viges Chief]. The bag contained two pieces of equipment, namely a branch and a set of bow and arrows. The branch was emanating dazzling golden light. [Vige Chiefs Staff Iv5 (Gold, Excellent)] Spell Strength +10 Intelligence +3 Equipment Description: Notice! This is the Vige Chiefs Staff, not the Vige Chiefs retardation! So, it really is a golden equipment! Su Yu showed a faint smile. In Evolution, equipment quality is divided into ordinary, excellent, rare, epic, and legendary. But aside from the equipment quality, all equipment is also divided into two major categories C Non-golden equipment and golden equipment. Golden equipment cane in any quality, such as golden ordinary, golden excellent, and even golden legendary. Being golden doesnt increase the equipments attributes, a non-golden excellent quality [Vige Chiefs Staff] and a golden excellent quality [Vige Chiefs Staff] have identical attributes. But, golden equipment has a special attribute C it can be materialized into the real world! Ordinary equipment can only be used in the game- Golden equipment is the only one that can be materialized into the real world! Also, the drop rate of golden equipment is very low, ording to yer statistics its only about 1%. This makes the value of golden equipment hundreds or even thousands of times higher than ordinary equipment in theter stages of the game! Those powerful high -level golden epic, golden legendary equipment are priceless treasures! Su Yus situation was quite special- he didnt need to wait until theter stage of the game. He could materialize his strength into the real world right now. Therefore, acquiring a golden weapon now would greatly enhance his ability to protect himself offline! Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, and used [Point Star Hand] to upgrade [Vige Chiefs Staff] to a rare quality. [Vige Chiefs Staff Iv5 (Gold, Rare)] Spell Strength +20 Intelligence +7 Mana Recovery Speed +7 The [Vige Chiefs Staff] has powerful attributes, much better than an ordinary level 15 wand. But, the only regrettable thing is that the appearance of the [Vige Chiefs Staff] is not very attractive. Holding it in his hand, its like holding a Y shaped por branch. It doesnt feel like a magic wand at all. However, Su Yu doesnt have the ability to change the appearance of the equipment, so he just has to make do with it. In addition to the [Vige Chiefs Staff], the boss also dropped a [Wolf-Shooting Bow Iv5 (excellent)]. The two bosses before had dropped a pair of leather pants- [Grey Wolf Leg-guards Iv5 (excellent)] and a leather top- [Red Wolf Jacket Iv5 (excellent)]. All these three pieces of equipment increase agility, which doesnt suit Su Yus properties. He could only put them on sale in the stockpile. Exiting the instance dungeon, he returned to the newbie vige. Su Yu nced at the remaining time for him to y the game today C 13 minutes left. Sigh! I should put the items in the stockpile and then call it a day! He stretchedzily and walked towards the stockpile. He was very satisfied with his gains in the game on his first day. Today, he not only triggered two main line plotlines and got an Epic piece, [Tear of the Goddess], but also leveled up to level 5 and got a golden weapon. Tomorrows n is to level up to 10 and go to the main city! Upon reaching the stockpile, Su Yu put all the unnecessary equipment up for auction in the stockpile and prepared to log out. But just then, he received a private message from Snow Fall. Hey, hey, pro yer, was the level 50 reward you were talking about real? Su Yu: Of course its real, why do you ask? Snow Fall: Can you tell me specifically what the reward is? Su Yu: No, youll know when you get to level 50. Snow Fall: All right. Snow Fall didnt say anything else and went back to report to her brother. In addition to Snow Fall, Zhan Tianjian and Red -Eyed ck Dragon also sent him private messages. The content of their private messages were simr to Snow Falls, all asking whether the reward was real. Su Yu gave them all affirmative answers. Exit game. Once his game time was up, Su Yu exited the game. Ding! We detected that you have spent 12 hours gaming, and possess the skill [Star Transformation], do you wish to materialize your ability to the real world? Materialize! Ding! The materialization process has begun, please wait. In the real world, the gaming helmet emitted arge amount of spiritual energy. This spiritual energy was poured into Su Yu from the top of his head, transmitted through his meridians to his limbs, and was absorbed by his body. After ten minutes, the infusion of the spiritual energy waspleted. The helmet then disyed another attribute panel. yer: Su Yu Realm: Magic Apprentice Level: Level 5 Skills: [Magic Bullet (rare)], [Lightning Bolt (rare)] [Invisibility Tech (rare)]. Magic Strength: 43 Life Value: 120 Mana: 180 Equipment: [Vige Chiefs Staff] This is the yers attribute panel in reality. Su Yu took off his helmet and sat up from the bed. He casually snapped his fingers, and sparkling arcs of electricity appeared at his fingertips. He flicked his finger lightly, and the arc of electricity shot out from his fingertip, hitting the wall opposite to the bed in his rented room. Sizzling sounds The originally white wall was burnt ck by the arc of electricity,rge chunks of the wall surface fell off, revealing the ugly bricks behind it. Then Su Yu straightened up slightly. Whoosh! His figure disappeared from the bed, and in the next moment, he was already in the kitchen. Having [sh Skill] is really convenient! But this mana consumption. its kind of a headache. Su Yus spells are all of rare quality, resulting in high mana consumption. Just casting two spells, he had already consumed 45 mana points, which was equivalent to a quarter of his maximum mana. He suddenly missed the [Tear of the Goddess] and the few hundred mana potions in his game backpack. The time now was half past ten in the evening, not yet time for bed. Su Yu boiled a pot of hot water, ordered some takeaway, and sat in front of hisputer to surf the inte. In addition to the 12 hours in the game, he couldnt waste the 12 hours offline either, he had to make good use of his time! Every single second is precious before the invasion of the Skuru people. There was no need to go to the official forum, as it was full of discussions about the IVI 50 reward, there wasnt any valuable information there. Su Yu continued to search for information about Unidentified Flying Objects, Aliens, Spaceships, etc., on the inte. Unfortunately, he still couldnt find the information he wanted. After searching for more than ten minutes, it seemed that Su Yu suddenly thought of something. So, he changed his approach and began to search for recent news rted to Ghosts.. Chapter 35 - 35: 35, Kill the Ghost_l Chapter 35: Kill the Ghost_l Trantor: 549690339 Originally, there were no ghosts on the Blue Star. Once, a pilot dropped a Little Boy on Japan, and he lived to a ripe old age of ny-two. This is proof that there were no ghosts on Blue Star. But now, with Spirit Power Awakening, some wicked things have resurfaced. Moreover, the Skuru people have also used the Spiritual Spring Eye to create a plethora of monsters, like the creatures in Ultraman and the horrifying deep-sea creatures from Pacific Rim, all of which are now appearing on Blue Star. Of course, theserge creatures would only gradually emerge a few monthster. At this stage, the Skuru people could only create a batch of ghosts, wreaking havoc in the world of Blue Star Humans. The native ghosts, coupled with the manufactured foreignor rather, extraterrestrial ghosts, collectively formed the main threat to the Blue Star Humans in the first three months. What Su Yu is doing now is to try to eliminate as many ghosts as possible. This is not only for the sake of mankind but also for his own benefit, as he would acquire some additional benefits after eradicating these ghosts. After more than an hours diligent search, finally, a piece of news caught Su Yus attention. East Sea University is nning to set up a voluntary teaching team for the Hope Elementary School June 2, 8 am. Su Yu drove to a supermarket near East Sea University. He came specifically because of the news about the Rural Teaching Program. He remembered that East Sea University organized this rural teaching program in his previous life, but in the end, the more than thirty university students involved in rural teaching, along with hundreds of teachers and students from Hope Elementary School all died under unexined circumstances! This incident caused a huge uproar, and although the government sent arge number of police to investigate, they found nothing, not even the cause of death. It wasnt until three months after the incident that the truth came to light. The expert group concluded that a ghost was at work, and the person possessed by the ghost was nothing other than the lead teacher, Fang Min. East Sea University is Su Yus alma mater, so he has a deep impression of this incident. He is here this time to prevent the tragedy from happening again. Walking into the supermarket, Su Yu stopped in front of a toy shelf in the toy section. This shelf was selling Ultraman masks, Ultraman models, and Ultraman transformers. Spotting the Ultraman mask, Su Yu had a thought. He reached out his hand as if to touch the mask. But instead of touching the mask, he lightly pressed on the wall with his hand. Arge amount of electricity flowed from his palm into the wall and headed for the surveince camera overhead. Crack! The camera, attacked by a powerful electric current, short-circuited. Su Yus expression remained the same. He calmly took the Ultraman mask, tucking it into his jacket, and headed for the supermarket exit. On his wav out, he made sure to destroy all the surveince cameras in the supermarket to prevent anyone from tracing his tracks. Once out on the street outside the supermarket. Since he wasnt sure where there was a security camera on the street, Su Yu released the Invisibility Skill and quickly moved forward in his invisible state. He moved towards the school. Through the use of his sh Skill inbination with the Invisibility Skill, he skillfully avoided the surveince cameras and used his electric magic to destroy the cameras he couldnt evade along the way. This level of professionalism was honed through many infiltrations into the Giant Skuru Base. Infiltrating a school was a piece of cake inparison. After checking the teachers duty roster in the administration building, Su Yu went to ssroom 301 in Building 3, where he found the lead teacher mentioned in the news, Fang Min. Fang Min is a young female teacher in herte twenties. Now, dressed all in white, she was standing on the podium, lecturing her students. Su Yu stood outside the ssroom. Despite the considerable distance, he could already smell the strong scent of a ghost. Hmm, its her! No mistake! Su Yu put the Ultraman mask on his head, gave the ssroom door a good kick, and it flew open. The teacher on the podium, Fang Min, was startled. As she was lecturing her students, a young man suddenly burst in kicking the door open. And when she saw the mask on the young mans head, she had a sudden sense that something was wrong. Teacher Fang Min backed away a few steps, shouting loudly, What do you think youre doing?! Su Yu didnt answer. He walked briskly forward, and without waiting for the female teacher to react, gave her a hard p on the face, pouring lightning energy through his hand into the teachers head, exorcising the ghost. Teacher Fang Min was hit by a solid p, but at the same time, a chilling wind blew through the ssroom. WhooshWhoosh A dark, unrecognizable object jumped out of the teachers head, quickly shooting out of the window. [Soul-Eating Ghost Lv9] This is actually a lv9 ghost?! But luckily, although this ghost is a higher level than Su Yu, it is still a zero-order ghost, and does not pose a great threat to Su Yu. Su Yu pretended to rummage around under the podium and materialized the Vige Chiefs Staff in his left hand. Then he shed and jumped out the window after the Soul-Eating Ghost. Lok TarOgar! Take this from me! In mid-air, Su Yu leveled a blow at the Soul-Eating Ghost with the Vige Chiefs Staff, augmented by the [Lightning Bolt] spell. SsssSsss Large amounts of ck smoke billowed out of the Soul-Eating Ghost. It struggled, its body trembling constantly, as if begging Su Yu for mercy. Su Yu ignored it. After the first [Lightning Bolt] ended, a second [Lightning Bolt] followed in quick session. Under the impact of two consecutive [Lightning Bolts], the Soul-Eating Ghost waspletely shattered, turning into a thick ck fog. Su Yu had jumped down from the third floor. As he neared the ground, he released the [sh Skill] at the right moment. Swish! Su Yunded firmly on the ground. At this point, the students under the podium werepletely dumbfounded. What just happened? A man wearing an Ultraman mask came in and pped their teacher. Then the man pulled out a stick from under the podium, rushed to the window, and jumped out? Did the world glitch, or am I the one glitching? After a brief silence, the students swarmed to the windows. Many of them started dialing 110, 120. But as the students peered out the windows, they saw a pungent ck fog wafting outside. As for the masked intruder, he appeared unharmed, sitting cross-legged on the ground. It seems likehe was doing some kind of exercise? The students were about to lose their minds. This must be a problem with the world! It must be! But among the students, a pretty girl seemed a little dazed. Because the figure of the young man seemed somewhat familiar.. Chapter 36 - 36: 36, Going home, received a call from Lao Wang_l Chapter 36: Going home, received a call from Lao Wang_l Trantor: 549690339 After the [Soul -Eating Ghost] was killed, the spiritual energy substance contained within its body rained down like droplets. Su Yu sat cross-legged right below this rain of spiritual energy droplets, absorbing these substances. Ding! Recognize that you are absorbing spiritual energy substance, do you want to convert these into experience points or spiritual energy coins? Convert into experience points. Three secondster. Ding! You gain 900 experience points through spiritual energy absorption. The experience points given by killing monsters in the real world are extremely high, 100 times that of ordinary monsters in the game! Of course, killing monsters in the real world is very risky. If you are killed by a monster in the game, the penalty is at most offline for half an hour. Being killed by a monster in reality, well, thats real death! Moreover, monsters in reality oftenck honor; they often gang up, create traps for the enemy, even summon high-ranking helpers. Unlike the game monsters standing dumbly in their leveling area, waiting for yers toe and kill them. But as a reborn, Su Yu always has a sense of urgency. Finding ghosts by myself is too troublesome and inefficient, should I find a way to cooperate with the officials? The official intelligencework must be faster than my own search using Qiandu. But Su Yu is also worried about cooperating with officials. The main reason is his power is too weak. If a foreign spy were aware of his information, a sniper rifle could kill him! Its best not to expose ones information at this stage and wait until one bes stronger. But now is not the time to think about these things. Su Yu does not forget, he is still sitting inside the grounds of East Sea University! If he doesnt leave now, he will definitely be taken as a lunatic and sent to a mental hospital. Therefore, Su Yu quickly stood up and returned the same way he came. The female teacher, Fang Min, and her students are still peering from the window at Su Yu. But they are not going to chase a madman, they can only watch helplessly as Su Yu disappears from their sight. The teacher and students look at each other speechlessly, Fang Min covers her blushing cheeks, staring nkly in a daze. Although she was pped, she felt that her somnambnt state of the past two days seemed to have suddenly disappeared! No cameras captured Su Yu on his way home. Su Yu hung the Ultraman mask back on the supermarket shelf and safely returned to his rented room. On the way home, he passed by a breakfast shop and conveniently bought a helping of soymilk with fried doughstick. After breakfast, he prepared to go online to continue leveling up. But just as he finished tidying up, ready toe online, his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID, and it was Wang from human resources of Mu Yun Group. Su Yu answered the phone: Hey, Brother Wang, whats up? Su Yu, the HR department has not approved your resignation process, I went to HR to discuss and their stance remained rigid. They insisted on your handwritten signature before they can approve your resignation procedure. Is it really that troublesome? Su Yus brow furrowed slightly. Three days ago, Su Yu handed in his electronic resignation to thepany, but because he was busy lining up to buy a helmet, he didnt have time to go to thepany to go through the resignation formalities. Boss Wang is a good-hearted man, and had agreed to handle the resignation process for Su Yu. But now, the process is stuck due to theck of Su Yus handwritten signature. Then, Brother Wang? What do you need me to do? Boss Wang answered: Its simple, just make time toe over to thepany and sign, once the resignation procedure ispleted, not only will this months sry be normally issued, thepany will alsopensate you an extra months sry. But saying that, Su Yu, are you really leaving? Wont you reconsider? If you leave, my team will be short of a great force! Only you can handle those rich female clients Alright, Brother Wang, Ive made my decision. Su Yu nced at the time: Is it okay if Ie to thepany to find you at 9 0clock tomorrow morning? Okay, I will wait for you at thepany. Su Yu did not take this matter to heart. After hanging up the phone, he put on his helmet and logged into the game. His login location was in the warehouse in Nn Vige. Before he had a chance to leave the warehouse, he received a greeting from the Red -Eyed ck Dragon. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Hello, Boss! (* I v I Su Yu: Whats up? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Hehe, theres definitely something, else I wouldnt dare disturb Boss. Su Yu: What is it? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Boss, we are online leveling up from 12 0clock at night and once we reach level 5, we will try to break into the instance. Su Yu: And then? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: But we cant beat all three instances! In the[Silver Snake under the Green City]instance, the final boss[Monk Fahai]kills with a single powerful move! In the [Thunder Cliff] instance, we cant kill the final boss[Cain Bloodhoof]no matter how we try. One time, we finally managed to kill him and did not expect another almost like him to resurrect! And the instance that you cleared[Green Pasture], the final boss has 3000 points in its life value, its attack value is 100! Red -Eyed ck Dragon keptining to Su Yu. Su Yu replied calmly: The Green Pasture instance is quite easy! The vige chief of Sheep Vige will ask you 10 questions, after correctly answering all, he is left with only 300 health, no need to fight to clear it. Red -Eyed ck Dragon almost went mad: Correctly answer all? Are these humanly answerable questions? Boss, do you know what is the name of Princess Alyssas favorite ship? Su Yu: Blue Nobility Airship! Thats an airship. The princess managed to escape from the pursuit of Kalets northern rebel army thanks to this airship. You need to read more books in the vige library, these are all recorded in those books. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Who would have the mood to go to the library to read books on the first day of the games opening! Su Yu: Alright, for the[Green Pasture]instance, you can send more people to collect the vige chiefs questions. Wait until about 10:30 in the evening, you summarize these questions and post them on the forum, and I will answer them at that time, it can also be considered a benefit for all the yers. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Understood! I will go right away! ( Both ended their private chat. From the entire private chat process, anyone who isnt aware would definitely think Red-Eyed ck Dragon is Su Yus follower. But Red-Eyed ck Dragon knew well, that it included many shrewd calctions of interests. At first, he was merely pretending to be pitiful, hoping to pry methods to clear instances from Su Yu. The agreement they reached in the end seemed like Emperor Blood Guild had to expend arge amount of manpower and resources, yet the beneficiaries were not just Emperor Blood. But Red-Eyed ck Dragon knew that as long as he mentioned the hard work of the Emperor Blood Guild in the post, all the yers would have a favorable impression towards Emperor Blood Guild, or at the very least feel indebted to them. So he agreed to Su Yus arrangement without hesitation.. Chapter 37 - 37: 37, Kill level 8 boss_l Chapter 37: Kill level 8 boss_l Trantor: 549690339 Lets go, go, go. No more leveling up! Were going to organize a team to clear the instances! The Red-Eyed ck Dragon enthusiastically suggested, shoving his long sword back into his backpack. What now? asked the gorgeous Swift, ncing at him. Did Nemesis assign you another task? How did you know? Red-Eyed ck Dragon froze. Before Swift could answer, the Sky Dragon lolita standing next to them chimed in with a broad smile. When we saw you with that brown-nosing expression, uncle, we could tell who you were chatting with. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Besides, the lolita added, youve never been this proactive with the guild leaders tasks! Faced with ridicule from his teammates, Red -Eyed ck Dragon finally had enough. He waved a hand dismissively. Alright, lets head back to the vige. Without waiting for his team, he headed straight for the beginners vige. While on his way back, he opened his private chat to forward the chat logs between him and Nemesis to Emperor Blood ys the Sky, his boss. In addition, he added, Guild Leader, I think we should stop following the Chaotic Evil route. Ive discovered an excellent opportunity to coborate with Nemesis. We would have more opportunities if we took the Righteous path Meanwhile, Su Yu arrived at the area where the level 8 wild monster, the Forest Brown Bear, roamed. There were already bits and pieces of yers in the level 8 area. The yers grinded from midnight till 10 am. They were the dedicated ones. These leading yers had already reached level 7, two levels higher than Su Yu. But Su Yu didnt care as everyone had only 12 hours of game time every day, so it barely mattered whether you level up earlier orter. He wandered around the monster zone and found a ce hidden from other yers to start farming monsters. He had be much more audacious with his leveling methodspared to before. Prior, he used to fight one monster at a time, and his leveling speed was alright. Now, he could draw three or four bears at once, using the [sh Chain] with the spell scroll to quickly strike them down, tremendously boosting his efficiency! Regrettably, the Forest Gray Bears were scattered around, wasting most of Su Yus time to find them. If he could stay stationary with enough monsters in front of him, he could level up within a minute or two. But having to pull monsters, it took him nearly 40 minutes to go from level 5 to level 6. After 40 minutes, Su Yu sessfully leveled up to 6. His magic potential naturally increased to 63 points. However, instead of stopping to check his status, Su Yu continued to attract and y monsters. His n was to keep grinding till he was level 7, then he would move on to the level 9 monster zone. After about 20 minutes, a bear roar considerably louder than the rest echoed throughout the forest. Its here! Su Yus eyes lit up. He looked towards the source of the roar. A massive dark brown bear, muchrger than the typical brown bears, appeared in the clearing ahead. [Forest Brown Bear leader Iv8 (Outstanding)] Health point: 1200 Another outstanding quality boss! Su Yu focused his attention on handling this boss. Simultaneously, the ult roar of the Brown Bear Boss echoed across the wilderness. The dedicated leveling yers heard the roar. The yers nced towards Su Yus direction with holy faces: Hmm? Whos the unlucky guy that triggered the level 8 boss? Haha! You can ask people for help if you triggered a low-level boss, but if you triggered a level 8 boss, you cant even run. Its half an hour of wasted gaming time. Yes! Lets lit a candle for that unlucky guy. yers chatted nonsense among themselves, their hands never resting, continuing to fight the grey bears in front of them. 13 -15 -17 A series of numbers appeared above the [Forest Gray Bear Iv8], indicating the decreasing health points of the bear. However, after waiting for a moment, the yers sensed something unusual. The roaring did not stop! Thats not right! Why hasnt that yer died yet? Not only did they not die, I heard the boss howling in pain? Monsters usually howl like that only when they lose 30% of their health in a very short time! Who is fighting the Grey Bear Boss? Aoo__Hmm While the yers were shocked, the death-cry of the Grey Bear Boss reached their ears. The yers were dumbfounded. They all stood on their toes and looked towards Su Yu: What happened? Its been less than 8 seconds! The boss is down? Did someone use a cheating device to kill the boss in seconds? Because they were too far away, they couldnt see what was happening on Su Yus side. As a result, many of the dedicated yers stopped leveling and ran towards Su But when they reached there, all they saw was the corpse of the [Forest Brown Bear Boss]. There was no trace of any other yers. The yers examined the magic inflicted damage on the bosss corpse and were inplete disbelief: What happened? Has the game system bugged and a Grey Bear Boss bug died? Is it possible that a yer killed it? I heard that Nemesis was in beginners vige number 6, did he kill it? I dont think so! Even if Nemesis killed the boss, we should have seen him, right? Have any of you seen a yer called Nemesis or an anonymous yer passing by? Me neither. Didnt see him. The dedicated yers all shook their heads. At this moment, Su Yu dispelled [Invisibility Skill], and his figure reappeared behind a big tree, visible to all yers. The spectators are such a bother. Lets go to the level 9 monster zone. Su Yu sighed a little, heading for the area where the level 9 monsters spawned. Just a while ago, he faced off against the Gray Bear Boss. Normally, with Su Yus 63 points of magic potential, it would take no more than 3 seconds to kill a 1200 health boss. But during the fight with the Gray Bear Boss, the boss had used [Iron Fur] to reduce the damage taken and [Berserk Recovery] to gain a lot of health, so the whole fight dragged on for 8 seconds. But it didnt matter. Su Yu still efficiently disposed of the boss. After the Gray Bear Boss was killed, Su Yu saw the nearby yers rushing over, so he cast [Invisibility Skill] and left the area. Having done a good job, he left without taking credit. He had his fair share of achievements but cared not for fame. The drops from the Gray Bear Boss were notably generous as it was the first time this boss was killed on the server. From the boss, he got the Cloth Armor Tunic [Brahma Wind Robe (Outstanding) Iv8], Chainmail Gloves [Terror Scale Hand Guard (Outstanding) Iv8], Skill Scroll [Frost Nova (Outstanding)], Skill Scroll [Sliding Shovel (Ordinary)], and [Forest Brown Bear Bosss Paw (Outstanding)]X1. Su Yu could use the Cloth Armor Tunic and [Frost Nova] [Sliding Shovel] was a skill for archers, a representative skill for those pursuing the physical skill path in the future. Su Yu casually learned the [Frost Nova] scroll and promoted it to a Rare quality. [Frost Nova (Rare)]: Deal 100% spell power of frost damage to all enemies within 15 meters and freeze them for 4 seconds. Instant cast, cooldown time is 30 seconds and the mana cost is 30 points.. Chapter 38 - 38: 38, Snow Leopard_l Chapter 38: Snow Leopard_l Trantor: 549690339 The Level 9 Monster Zone is located in the Lategale Woods northwest of the vige. It is the territory of the roons. [Pet Roon IV9] Health Points: 120 Inside the Lategale Woods, the small roons, with their grey and white fur, would frolic about, running and jumping. Their fur was shiny and sleek, and they were all chubby with fluffy long tails, they looked so cute! But Su Yu remembered that it was because the roons were so cute in his previous life, soon after the game started, it caused a lot of controversy among the yers. Many yersined on the official forum that the roons were too cute to kill. Some who had the heart to do so were disdained by female yers nearby, and they were all asking the game official to change the monster. Later, the Game Supervisors from the Singer Civilization listened to the yers opinions. After a big update two monthster, all the roons were reced with mummies wrapped in white cloth. The map of Lategale Woods was also updated to arge cemetery where you would run into wandering ghosts. It was really scary! In Su Yus previous life, when he entered the game, the Level 9 Monster Zone had already be a big cemetery, filled with haunting ghosts that were intimate with yers. Today, he felt honored to see the deleted roons. The cute roons were a nice touch, but this mortal realm style suits me, unlike those mummy and cemeteries which felt too otherworldly. Su Yu hardened his heart, bing a Roon yer, and started to level up in the Level 9 Monster Zone. After all, there were no other yers around him, so he didnt have to worry about the disapproval of others. Levelling up was usually boring. While Su Yu was mechanically casting spells, using scrolls, and drinking mana potion, he was browsing the official forum built into the game. He checked if the onlineizens had any new trends or came up with any new memes. A new meme called Indonesia Tel was popr recently. Plus, the sound of the ding in the Indonesia Tel climax part was exactly the same as the ding in the system prompts in Evolution! So theizens started to make parody videos, incorporating P, the external manager of the game Evolution, in the videos with the caption Evolution RMB 30000. Just as Su Yu was engrossed in the videos, a strange noise suddenly came from the game. He closed the forum window and identified that the noise in the game came from a server-wide announcement: [Server-wide Announcement: The yers Snow Leopard, Range is Truth, Caliber is Justice, Unbreakable Alliance, and Stream of Steel had sessfully cleared the 5-yer dungeon Thunder Cliff, awarded a random rare-quality equipment] This time the server-wide announcement was different from Su Yus announcement. Su Yus announcement was repeated three times, but this announcement ended after one time. After the announcement was over, its time for Snow Leopards advertisement. A deep and powerful male voice came into Su Yus ears: Hello everyone, Im the guild leader of the Concerned Department C Snow Leopard. Join our guild after level 10, you can receive a subsidy of 2000 Flower Coins every month. The guild does not enforce missions, we will not force you to participate in any activities, and no obligation to contribute equipment or currency, thats all. Snow Leopards advertisement was short and powerful. His team had discussed repeatedly to finalize this version of the advertisement. This advertisement was very crude. But these crude advertisements that could touch the vital interests of the masses were the ones that could get a wide spread. If they were to boast like Our goal is to dominate the server or We invite people from all walks of life to join us in building the strongest guild in the game. The yers would probably just reply Alright, pretty spirited, then forget about it. But when it came to 2000 Flower Coins, many peoples eyes lit up. After Snow Leopards advertisement was aired, yers started discussing with theirpanions: Another group has cleared the 5-yer dungeon! Concerned Department? weird name. They give out 2000 every month! Doesnt that mean you can earn back the cost of the helmet in just over a year? I dont have a guild at the moment, so I might give it a go. We should go together! Although most of these yers could afford a 30,000 Flower Coin helmet, no one would turn down this extra 2000 per month. Many people became interested in the Concerned Department guild. At the same time, a thoughtful look appeared on Su Yus face. Concerned Department? Has Snow Leopard started making headway so early? Snow Leopard, whose real name is Zhong Feng, is a Major General and a rare Druid ss yer. The Country had taken notice of the unusual aspects of the game Evolution before the cataclysm and had asked Snow Leopard to form the Concerned Department and investigate in the game. Snow Leopard had a keen sense for the games storyline. With his rich detective experience and the help of his expert team, hepleted two main storyline quests in session, bing the first yer in the country to level up to 50. He was also the first Blue Star human to realize that in-game power could be manifested. (Only legendary bloodline characters could manifest their in-game power in advance, while there were no legendary bloodline characters worldwide at the time.) The rest of the story is well-known. When Snow Leopard realized his power, the Country prioritized him significantly. He was already strong, and with the concerted resources of the Country, he eventually became one of the top human power yers of the previous era and a pir against the Skuru race. Snow Leopard Su Yu muttered to himself: I should try to get in touch with him if there is a chance. While Su Yu was reminiscing about Snow Leopards past, In the [Thunder Cliff] dungeon, Snow Leopard and his team were also discussing him. On top of Thunder Cliff. Range is Truth was waving a bow, boasting happily, Look! This was given by the First Time Clearance reward! A Level 5 rare-quality bow! Its attack power is as high as 20! Alright, Mr. Zhang. Unbreakable Alliance said with both tears andughter, Youre someone who has flown a J-50 fighter, why are you so excited about a broken bow. What do you know? Range is Truth pushed the bow to his face, Take a closer look, this is a rare-quality equipment! Maybe even Nemesis doesnt have a rare-quality equipment! Snow Leopard stood still on the side. He stared at the body of the boss [Cain Bloodhoof] on the ground, lost in thought, What do you think, wepleted this dungeon after 8 wipes, how did Nemesisplete Green Grasnd on his own? Its not any easier than this one. This The teammates around him fell silent. The smile on Range is Truths face gradually faded. Although he got a rare-quality weapon now, even the current him could never solo a dungeon. He wouldnt even be able to solo fight the first or second boss. How did Nemesis do it? No way! I must ask Lolo to contact Nemesis again, we have to find out the content of the Level 50 reward. Snow Leopard made his decision and opened the private chat interface.. Chapter 39 - 39: 39, “Old and Bossy” Su Yu 1 Chapter 39: Old and Bossy Su Yu 1 Trantor: 549690339 At half-past twelve noon, Snow Fall logged in. Snow Fall: Bro! I have a really interesting story to tell you! Today a madman burst into our ssroom and pped Miss Fang! Then this madman actually jumped off the third floor! Hahaha! Snow Leopard: Snow Fall: Isnt it really interesting? Snow Leopard: Snow Fall: Eh? Bro, you guys have cleared [Thunder Cliff]? Not bad at all! Snow Leopard: Fall, all that doesnt matter, I need you to help me contact Nemesis A few minutester, Su Yu received a private message from Snow Fall: Hey hey hey, great master, my brother wants to meet you. Su Yu: Your brother? Snow Fall: My brother is Snow Leopard! The one who just cleared the [Thunder Cliff] instance. su Yu: Oh? Su Yu was a little surprised; he hadnt realized that Snow Fall was actually Snow Leopards sister! In his previous life, he had never heard of Snow Leopard having a sister. But then again, considering that in his previous life Snow Fall had her ount deleted and quit the game early, it was normal that she was not famous. Snow Fall: My brother wants to meet you. Because it would be a waste of your time, my brother is willing to pay you a meeting fee, be it in-game equipment, currency, real world cash or even an anonymous ck card payment, you can name the price. Su Yu: Theres no need for a meeting fee, have him meet me atthe entrance to Wolf King Valley at level 10. Snow Fall: Okay, great master! ?? Su Yu put away the equipment dropped by the roon, and started walking towards Wolf King Valley. He had originally intended to meet Snow Leopard; since Snow Fall had invited him, he simply agreed. As for setting the meeting ce in Wolf King Valley, it was because he didnt want Snow Leopard and the others to see him bullying the roons; it would be very embarrassing. Moreover, Su Yus level had already increased to 7, and he had already obtained the first kill on the roon boss, so there was nothing to hold onto here. The Evening Wind Forest and Wolf King Valley are both on the west side of the newbie vige. Su Yu arrived first at the entrance to Wolf King Valley. A few minutester, the five-member Snow Leopard team and Snow Fall arrived here. Looking at the steep cliff at the entrance to the Wolf King Valley, the expressions of the five people were somewhat solemn. Though they had each received a piece of rare equipment, leveling up in a level 10 monster zone was still very strenuous. The fact that Nemesis could level up here spoke volumes about his strength. Standing at the entrance to Wolf King Valley, Su Yu looked at Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard looked exactly the same as he had in his previous life (this seemed to be a redundantment), square-faced, with well-defined features, and a determined expression. Snow Leopard was also looking at Su Yu. Well, he looked like an ordinary young man. However, Snow Leopard felt that Su Yus gaze was strange, it wasa kind-hearted look? He had only ever seen such kind-hearted looks from old cadres in the military area. Hello Nemesis, I am Snow Leopard, nice to meet you! Snow Leopard stepped forward and extended his hand to Su Yu. But Su Yu had no intention of shaking hands with him. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking kindly at Snow Leopard: Hello! Young man. Snow Leopards mouth twitched slightly. He was thirty-five, nearly thirty-six years old, and it was the first time he had encountered a young man who dared to address him this way. However, considering Nemesis actions in the game, he didnt dare to take it lightly. Snow Leopard said seriously: I came here to invite you to join our guild. If you are willing to join our guild, I can offer you the position of vice president and the highest benefits in the guild! Scope and Truth also chimed in from the back: Yeah! You might as well just join our guild. Our guild is united and friendly, with a very good atmosphere, and currently there isnt a single woman in the guild, youll definitely be satisfied if you join! Their words immediately drew the attention of everyone present. Su Yus mouth also twitched slightly. However, he slowly raised his arm and gently waved it, speaking in an old-fashioned tone: Forget it, the guild is for you young people to y with, this old guy who should have disappeared in history wont participate. Should have disappeared in history? Snow Fall repeated Su Yus words, looking puzzled. Snow Leopard continued: Then Senpai, I came here for another reason, which is to ask you, what reward will the game give after leveling up to 50? Snow Leopard felt something was not quite right. Because now, Su Yus old-fashioned tone waspletely different from the young mans voice when he broadcasted the loudspeaker advertisement yesterday! But Snow Leopard couldnt figure out the specific situation, he could only keep quiet, and continue to follow Su Yus rhythm. Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his upper body slightly hunched: Give me a reason, why should I tell you? The five Snow Leopards looked at each other and exchanged nces. After the exchange, Snow Leopard let out a slight sigh: Senior, we are people from Country. Country? Guo Fengxiao? Hehe, this can be considered an old acquaintance. Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. If he had a silver-white beard to stroke now, it would be more natural. Su Yu spoke in a weather-beaten tone: Alright then, I will leak a bit to you. But before I say that, I want to ask you, do you really understand this world? He slowly lifted his right hand, arge amount of charge gathered in Su Yus hand, crackling. Scope of Justice, who was also a mage on the other side, was shocked when he saw Su Yus action: How is this possible? Whats wrong? The four teammates turned to look at him. This is it. Scope of Justice exined: This spell is [Lightning Bolt], I received a copy of it from the shared stashst night. But when I cast [Lightning Bolt], the lightning bolt leaves my hand immediately. How can Nemesis hold the lightning in his hand for so long? The four teammates were confused. Only Ironflow March, who was a priest, seemed to have some understanding. When the five people looked at Su Yu again, their gazes had be a little more serious. Su Yuughed, cancelled the [Lightning Bolt] spell and slowly said: Have you ever considered this possibility? That this is not a game at all, but a new world that has been remodeled from a dead world? In this new world, the spells you learn and the power you possess, at some point, can be brought back to Blue Star? Su Yu was not talking nonsense. In his previous life, there was already a small amount of evidence to prove that Evolution was a new world modified by the Singer Civilization, not just a game. Snow Leopard and his teammates, however, werepletely stunned. Su Yus words contained too much information; they werepletely unable to digest it. After a long time, Snow Leopard finally came back to his senses and asked cautiously: Does Elder mean that after leveling up to level 50, you can bring the power of the game into the real world?! If this were the case, it would be a big deal! Chapter 40 - 40: 40, The blue sky has died, the yellow sky should rise 1 Chapter 40: The blue sky has died, the yellow sky should rise 1 Trantor: 549690339 A world rebuilt from a dystopia? Game power can be brought into reality? These huge pieces of information washed over the Snow Leopard team. If you had mentioned any of this a week ago, Snow Leopard would have used Su Yu of rambling nonsense. They wouldve thought it was a ridiculous argument. But now Thousands of alien starships were floating above 3732 spiritual spring eyes! Plus, considering Su Yus status as the number one yer in the game, they found it not so hard to believe anymore. Su Yus look was still kind. He calmly said, Correct, after reaching level 50, yers can bring their power and skills into reality. This was a gift given to us, the humans of Blue Star, by the Singer Civilization. Singer Civilization Upon hearing this name, Snow Leopard believed 80% of Su Yus words. Currently, all intelligence regarding the Singer Civilization was top-secret! Only the high government officials of the five permanent administrative nations knew about it. Since Su Yu could mention the name Singer Civilization, there was a high probability that what he had said was true! Snow Leopard subtly signaled to his little sister. Getting his hint, Snow Fall, with her soft maidens voice, asked, Great master, who exactly are you? How do you know all of this? Su Yu smiled, shaking his head, and turned to face away from the 6 team members. He lifted his head to the sky with a voice full of vicissitudes, saying, We, as ancient beings, have lived too long. Only when the spiritual energy reawakened yesterday did I reawaken my memory which has been sealed for over 1900 years. Who I am doesnt matter, but, there is a phrase that you may have heard before Su Yu, resembling an old man burdened by age, slowly walked forward while lightly saying, The heavens are dead, the era of yellow heavens shall begin. When the Year of the Rates, the world willcelebrate. When he finished saying thesest two words, Su Yus figure gradually faded, disappearing into the void. He He disappeared! The yer named Range Equals Truth pointed at the spot where Su Yu had vanished, astounded. Could it be that this senior had seen through the essence of the game and achieved a state of transcendence, moving as he pleased? Why else would he disappear without a trace? The heavens are dead, the era of yellow heavens shall begin? The yer named Steel Rhythm March was also shocked. Isnt that the slogan of the Yellow Turban from the Three Kingdom period? Snow Fall was trembling, almost unable to hold onto her dagger. Could it be that the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Jiao, didnt die? Did he live till the modern era? Is our nemesis Zhang Jiao?! Is that possible? Snow Leopard felt like their mind was a tangled mess. What happened today had nearly overturned everyones worldview. But judging from the way the Nemesis behaved, it didnt seem like a trick. The six of them stood nkly at the entrance of Wolf King Valley for a long time. After a long while, they finally regained their senses. Snow Leopard made a fist salute to the spot where Su Yu disappeared, spoke seriously without caring whether Su Yu could hear it, Many thanks for Elder Zhangs guidance. If theres anything we can help with in the future, we will not hesitate to do so! Unfortunately, there was no response. Snow Leopard sighed and looked at his teammates. This is big news! We must report to our superiors immediately! His four teammates nodded hurriedly. Snow Leopard turned to Snow Fall. Fall, continue with your game, but do not reveal todays events to anyone! A dazed Snow Fall nodded her head. Also, Snow Leopard patted his sister on the shoulder. We should also start nning on seducing the Nemesis! Fall, do your best. If you seed, the organization will award you first-ss merit! Snow Fall: . After giving a few instructions to his teammates, Snow Leopard logged out. Meanwhile, Su Yu also began to level up in Wolf King Valley. The valley was filled with ck and white wild wolves. [Howling Moon Wolf lv10] HP: 140 Su Yu had reached level 7, with 13% experience. [Howling Moon Wolf] had a level advantage of 3, which reduced Su Yus damage by But it didnt matter. Equipped with excellent gear and high-quality skills, Su Yu dispatched the [Howling Moon Wolves] in droves. In the end, he even began to try on high-speed leather armor, using his agility to draw in monsters for training. During his leveling, Su Yu also reminisced about his meeting with the Snow Leopard team. The reason he met them was to ry the information Reaching level 50 allows the materialization of power to the government. He would dare not say this in reality, but he was not hesitant in the game, where there was no way for Snow Leopard to find out his real identity. Being in opposition to the Skurus is a matter for all of humanity. Even if Su Yu had power surpassing the Star-forged Dragon King, he wouldnt have a chance against the entire Skuru civilization. Su Yu did this so that the humans of Blue Star could grow strong quicker. The reason for pretending to be Zhang Jiao was different. Due to the reawakening of the spiritual energy, ancient figures re-emerged, bing active in the world once again. Blue Star had been gradually drained of spiritual energy since the An Lushan Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, entering the Dharma Ending Age. During the Dharma Ending Age, the eras of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, only Mr. Zhu of the Ming Dynasty was able to defy fate and survive, while all other emperors ended up as mere bones in their tombs. However, before the Dharma Ending Age, many great individuals managed to survive, from the Spring and Autumn, Qin and Han, Three Kingdom, Sui Tang periods. Su Yu pretending to be Zhang Jiao was meant as a wake-up call for the relevant departments: Those old timers are back! Prepare yourselves. Hopefully, the departments would get his point. Two in the afternoon. Zhong Feng (Snow Leopard), dressed in his crisp military uniform, paced anxiously in front of the entrance of a small meeting room in the army headquarters. Not long after, the meeting room door opened. A number of well-dressed bosses came out from within. However, these gentlemen did not interact with him. They only gave Zhong Feng a meaningful look before circling around him. Then, a weary voice came from the meeting room: Zhong Feng,e in. Yes, Sir. Zhong Feng stepped into the meeting room. Commissioner Zhang, how is the discussion regarding my report going? As soon as he entered the meeting room, Zhong Feng asked immediately. Right after logging off, he prepared a detailed report of his encounter with the Nemesis and submitted it promptly. And the one responsible for reviewing his report was Commissioner Zhang right in front of him. At this moment, Commissioner Zhang was massaging his temples, his eyes bloodshot. Ever since receiving the warning from the Singer Civilization, he had not slept for days and nights. Zhong Feng, sit down. Commissioner Zhang gestured to the seat beside him. After Zhong Feng had sit down, he chuckled, We have had preliminary discussions regarding your report, but I still have many doubts about your report. Commissioner Zhang straightened up, his eyes bing sharp: For instance, in your report, you mentioned that Zhang Jiao from the Three Kingdoms period is still alive and is now an expert game yer? Are you serious? Chapter 41 - 41: 41. Monster Siege_l Chapter 41: 41. Monster Siege_l Trantor: 549690339 Commissioner, as incredible as it may sound, I believe it is highly probable that its true Zhong Feng detailed his encounter with Su Yu. He added at the end of the conversation, Regardless of whether Nemesis is actually Zhang Jiao, he clearly knows about the existence of the Singer Civilization, which means he has some inside information. I think we need to take this seriously. Commissioner Zhang didnt respond, but sunk into deep thought with his chin rested on his hand. After a long while, he let out a deep sigh, Well, no matter what, the organization has made the decision. It has been decided that the resources and manpower allocated to your department will be doubled. What do you think? Just double? Zhong Feng frowned, showing a hint of annoyance on his forehead. If in-game strength can indeed manifest, I believe we must spare no cost to explore this game! Even doubling the resources is too little, its not nearly enough for us Enough, Zhong. Commissioner Zhang made a gesture with his palm to calm him down. Evolution has always been within the scope of the organizations attention. Even if this game can really make strength manifest, there are a lot of unknowns. For example, how much time and money does it take for an average person to reach level 50? What kind of level can the in-game strength reach after manifestation? If one can still be killed with a single shot after manifestation, wouldnt that be a joke? If the manifest strength is still not as powerful as a kid with a gun, wouldnt that also be a joke? Can it generate sufficient profit in a short period of time to influence the overall situation? Is it worth it for the Country to invest enormous resources in this? In response to Commissioner Zhangs questions, Zhong Feng found himself at a loss for words: This.. He really didnt have an answer. Commissioner Zhang intertwined his fingers and put them in front of his lips: From our standpoint, its not possible to gamble everything on an uncertain future. We prefer to put as many resources as possible into areas where the return is guaranteed, like increasing our reserves of hydrogen bombs. Understood. Zhong Feng responded with a bitter smile. From the standpoint of the Country, it indeed seemed unlikely to pour massive resources into an entirely unknown area right away. If there was no satisfactory yield after massive investment, that would be a significant mistake! Moreover, making hasty decisions based on a few vague statements from Nemesis would be too reckless. Unless Commissioner Zhang changed his tone abruptly. Unless? Unless you can provide sufficient evidence that Evolution truly has the potential to change the current situation, only then will I give you the resources you need. Understood! Zhong Feng stood up, saluted the Commissioner, I will try my best to level up and reach level 50 as soon as possible. Go then. The Commissioner waved his hand, There are no current signs of the revival of ancient powers. If its true, Ill handle it. You focus on Evolution and level up as fast as you can! Back in the game. Su Yu stayed in Wolf King Valley to diligently level up. There were still plenty of hidden tasks in the vige. However, these hidden tasks either offered poor rewards or took lots of time, so he ignored them. Moreover, since Su Yu had [Point Star Hand], he wasnt interested in the equipment offered by these hidden tasks. He felt it was better to spend all his time leveling up. Around two in the afternoon, Su Yu reached level 8. At this pace, I should be able to reach level 10 by 6 pm. As he thought this, Su Yu didnt cease his efforts and continued using spells to kill the [Howling Moon Wolf]. But, Ive killed so many Howling Moon Wolves, the boss should respawn, right? Just as this thought crossed his mind. Awoo_ A resounding howl echoed through the distant woods. Almost immediately, amidst the rising dust and falling leaves in Wolf King Valley, all the other wolves seemed to be summoned by some force and started howling too. It wasnt long before the howl of the wolves echoed across the entire novice vige. Be it yers who were leveling up orpleting quests, or those chatting in the vige, all of them turned their attention towards Wolf King Valley: What happened? That sound reminds me of my pet at home when its in heat! Dumb! Thats the sound of a wolf pack! It sounds like itsing from Wolf King Valley. In the level 7 wilderness zone, Zhan Tianjian turned to his teammates, Whats going on, should we go check it out? Zhan Tianjian had recently spent a lot of time in the sixth novice vige, he had decided to settle there and hadnt returned to the first vige. As far as leveling was concerned, every novice vige was the same. Tom, who had been standing on tiptoe to get a better view, said, I think its better if we dont go. The sound ising from Wolf King Valley. Even if a boss has respawned, we wont be able to take it down. Makes sense. Zhan Tianjian didnt argue. He just pulled aggro on five more beasts and continued to level up. But at that very moment, all the active yers in the sixth novice vige received a system alert: Ding! [Howling Moon Wolf King IVIO (Rare)] has appeared in Wolf King Valley! All monsters in Nn Vige gain +20% to all attributes, and yield +20% experience and drops,sting for 1 hour. After 1 hour, [Howling Moon Wolf King] will lead the wolf pack to attack the novice vige. yers who participate in killing [Howling Moon Wolf King] can share a substantial reward! Just as the system alerted, level 3 [ck Wild Pigs], level 4 [Slope Sheep], level 5 [Silver Snake] All monsters were granted a surge of red energy, their eyes turned bloody red, and they began forcefully retaliating against yers who attacked them. The yers were caught off guard. Some yers who had pulled too many mobs didnt stand a chance against the strengthened monsters, they were defeated and their figures disappeared in specks of light. Random shes of white light spread across the leveling area. Zhan Tianjian, as a top-level tank, had pulled five mobs at once. With each mob gaining a 20% increase in all attributes, he was nearly killed on the spot. Thankfully, he was able to use the high-priced [Shield Wall] skill in time, avoiding the fate of being killed instantly. After killing thest beast, Zhan Tianjian let out a sigh of relief, That was close if I had been kicked offline, that would have sucked but do we want to participate in this monster siege? Of course, we do! Overlord Tiger was eager to join, The rewards for these monster siege events are usually quite generous! Since were here, we certainly need to take part! Alright! Zhan Tianjian nodded, Ill gather the members from the guild. Zhan Tianjian opened his friends list. But when he saw Nemesis at the top and the notation in front of Nemesis read Iv8, he was stunned, Nemesis is already level 8?! What? Hes level 8 now? Upon hearing Nemesiss name, Qingli, who was normally quiet, perked up, We wasted a lot of time with additional dungeons, yet there are quite a few people in the guild who are focused on leveling up! Theyre only level 7 before offline! Yeah! The highest level in the guild, Cang Shan You Jing, is only level 7. Zhan Tianjian let out a bitter smile, Nemesis didnt start ying until 10 0clock, he still has 8 hours of game time.. It seems the gap is gradually widening! Chapter 42 - 42: 42, The terrifyingly powerful Wolf King, ways to defeat the Wolf King_l Chapter 42: The terrifyingly powerful Wolf King, ways to defeat the Wolf King_l Trantor: 549690339 In the deepest part of Wolf King Valley. Su Yu stood behind arge tree, observing the distant [Howling Moon Wolf King]. [Howling Moon Wolf King IVIO (Rare)] Health: 140000 The [Howling Moon Wolf King] is a giant wolf simr to a tundra wolf in shape, standing 3 meters high and 4.6 meters long, its fur as white as snow and demonstrating a martial air. What is most noteworthy, of course, is its health, a whopping 140,000! It is 1,000 times that of monsters of the same level! In Evolution, the health of a regr boss is generally 10 times that of monsters of the same level. High-quality bosses range from 12 to 30 times, and rare bosses 33 to 100 times. However, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] is a bit special. It acts as the boss of a monster siege, a raid boss, with its health boosted by 1,000 times, reaching the caliber of a top-tier epic boss. Moreover, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] isnt just a lone wolf. It is surrounded by 12 [Elite Wolf King Guards] (IVIO, Health 1400), standard boss temtes. Gazing at this prideful group of wolf tribe bosses, Su Yus expression became serious. He was simply not a match for the [Howling Moon Wolf King]. The Wolf King is enormous in size. Typically, in the game,rger size usually means faster speed. Even if Su Yu used an ice spell to slow down the [Howling Moon Wolf King], it could still easily catch up with him. The idea of kiting wasnt going to work. As soon as the Wolf King caught up with him, a single swipe would knock him offline. Perhaps Su Yu, with his experience, could dodge a few strikes, but dont forget the Wolf King has 140,000 HP! In a long battle, Su Yu cant ensure he wont be hit by the Wolf King once. One hit would be the end of him. Sigh! Id better let the vige yers handle it but can they really handle it? Su Yu had no confidence. In his previous lifetime, there were quite a few incidents of monster sieges in the novice viges and main cities. The sess to failure rate was approximately fifty-fifty. But this time was different. The Wolf Kings attack came too early! If it wasnt for Su Yu, this monster siege might not have been triggered until tomorrow night when a general force of yers reaches levels 7 and 8, and the first batch of yers starts leveling up in Wolf King Valley. By then, the yers might be able to hold their ground. But now Su Yu shook his head: Currently, only a few avid yers reached level 7, and all of them have logged off. Most of the yers are around level 4. The Wolf King has a level suppression of up to 6 levels on them the failure rate for this monster siege is at least 95%. Forget it, I should report this to the authorities, Emperor Blood, and Zhan Tian in the hope that they can make a difference and advise the yers to seek refuge in other novice viges. Su Yu gave a sigh, turned around towards the entrance of Wolf King Valley, and opened his private chat interface at the same time. But as soon as Su Yu turned around, he saw a steep cliff on the inside of the entrance to Wolf King Valley, and his eyes narrowed slightly. He knew this cliff. On finishing the [Annies Revenge] quest, Snow Fall had once rmended him to jump off this cliff to dodge the lethal blow of the [Star-forged Dragon King]. But since it was Snow Falls suggestion, Su Yu dismissed it without a thought. Now looking again at the cliff, a bold idea emerged in his mind, it seemed like he could find a way to deal with the Wolf King! Now that the game season just began, the threat range of the monsters should not have been adjusted, and perhaps I could use this cliff to kill the Wolf King boss! Su Yus eyes brightened! The monotonous leveling for the past four hours had bored him stiff, but now he finally found a challenging goal, and a sense of long-lost excitement instantly welled up! However, before dealing with the Wolf King boss, he needed to be well-prepared. For instance, he needed a better set of faster-moving equipment, preferably dual speed equipment, and an [Ice Arrow] spell scroll. If not, he wouldnt even reach the cliff edge with the boss before it caught up with him and killed him. With this in mind, Su Yu didnt hesitate and put on his full speed leather armor and ran towards Nn Vige at full speed. Now, Nn Vige was crowded with people. yers from other viges heard that the 6th novice vige had a monster siege event and rushed over with the mindset of participating, making the small vige packed to the brim. Su Yu passed through the surging crowd in the vige, barely squeezed into the warehouse. After entering the warehouse, he finally sighed with relief. Fortunately, the inside of the warehouse was a separate ne, otherwise, with so many people crowding in, he wouldnt be able to buy anything. He opened the product search interface of the warehouse and skillfully selected the keywords [Equipment], [Movement Speed], [Breastte]. He quickly found a long list of equipment. Their levels ranged from 3 to 5, and 90% of them were leather armor. For example, [Travelers Leather Jacket IV3 (Excellent)] (Defense +8, Movement speed +0.3) The increased movement speed provided by these breasttes isnt high, roughly 0.2 to 0.4. But these breasttes are very cheap, generally priced between 10 to 30 spiritual energy coins. At this stage, speed equipment has no use for leveling up, so what seems to be an excellent quality piece of equipment is no different from unenhanced equipment for the yers. Su Yu, who has plenty of money, directly selected the five breasttes with the highest increase in movement speed. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy! The five breasttes were quickly taken from the warehouse. Upon receiving the five items, Su Yu used the [Point Star Hand] on each one of them. Ding, do you want to spend 300 spiritual energy coins to strengthen [Wind Talkers Chest IV3 (Excellent)]? Confirm! Ding, [Wind Talkers Chest IV3 (Excellent)] quality has been upgraded to [Wind Talkers Chest IV3 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, an additional attribute: Agility +3. Not this one, next! Ding, do you want to spend 500 spiritual energy coins to strengthen [Red Wolfs Jacket Iv5 (Excellent)? ] Confirm! Ding, [Red Wolfs Jacket Iv5 (Excellent)] has been upgraded to [Red Wolfs Jacket Iv5 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, an additional attribute: Attack Speed +100/0. Ding, [Uncle Annos Leather Armor IV3 (Excellent)] quality has increased The additional property from each strengthening is random, so Su Yu had to keep strengthening, hoping for a dual speed increase. He had finished strengthening all five pieces, but none of them were the dual speed equipment he wanted. Su Yus facial expression didnt change; he bought another five pieces of equipment with the highest increase in movement speed. Eventually, when [Point Star Hand] was used on the eighth piece. Ding, [Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Excellent)] quality increased to [Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Rare)], gained Defense +5, additional attribute: Movement Speed +0.3. Finally got it! Su Yu let out a long breath. [Fast as Wind Leather Armor Iv4 (Rare)] Defense +9 Movement Speed +0.4 Movement Speed +0..3 Chapter 43 - 43: 43. Su Yu X Human-shaped small car v/_1 Chapter 43: 43. Su Yu X Human-shaped small car v/_1 Trantor: 549690339 After getting a Double Speed Breastte, Su Yu nned to follow suit and switch all of his equipment to double speed gear. But he encountered a problem his backpack was full, and he needed to sell the enhanced equipment. Selling directly to the system store was a huge loss. To sell to yers, ording to the game rules, worn equipment or the ones obtained from quests cannot be sold, while equipment dropped from monsters or instances can be sold. He had seven breasttes he had just enhanced and never wore, so he could sell them to yers. But should he slip these equipment into the trading stack for sale? That doesnt sound like a good idea, right? After thinking for ten seconds, Su Yu shook his head. He cant sell them in the trading stack. If he hurriedly puts dozens of rare equipment items up in the trading stack, as long as other yers were not fools, they could guess his talent. At this stage, he needs to remain mysterious and cannot be studied thoroughly. The equipment had to be sold through other channels. Which channel though? Got it! Su Yu left the trading stack, found the NPC [Mercenary Businessman Lai Yin] in the vige. He spent 20 spiritual energy coins daily to rent a legal stall from him. Ordinary yers stalls that are set up casually have no system protection, and equipment could be taken by passing yers. The systems legal stalls are system protected, and you can set a custody state; yers can put the goods on the stall and leave at any time. Su Yu arrived at the Mercenary Trading Market where the legal stalls were. The Mercenary Trading Market was yet to be an opened content in the game, it was empty with no NPCs. Exactly because there were no NPCs, the number of yers here was pretty sparse. Su Yu found his stall at the entrance and ced all seven of his rare breasttes on it. The price for the level 3 rare was 320 spiritual energy coins, and the level 5 rare was 520. He was not trying to make a profit, he only needed to make back his investment. As for the name of his stall, it was called Small Rare Shop, Selling off Vast Amount of Rare Quality Equipment at Low Price. After doing all this, Su Yu turned back to the trading stack to continue his hunt for Double Speed equipment. Not long after Su Yu left. Two vige yers who were wandering around passed by the Mercenary Trading Market. Seeing Su Yus stall, one of them immediatelyughed: Look, who is that sucker who paid for an official stall? Hispanion alsoughed: Yeah! Wasting 200 bucks for nothing, such a great loss! The shops name is interesting though C A Small Rare Shop, Vast Amount of Rare quality equipment As this yer spoke, his face dramatically changed! So far, there were no tradable rare quality equipment in the game, not a single one. And now, this stall had a sign reading Selling off Vast Amounts of Rare Equipment at Low Prices? Are they lying! The two yers hurriedly rushed to take a closer look. A momentter, two surprised shouts echoed in the market: My God! Its true! They are tradable rare equipment! And there are seven of them! Who is selling this equipment? No way, I have to take a screenshot and send it to the forum immediately. The news of Seven rare equipment appearing in the Mercenary Trading Market spread from ten to hundreds. Soon, the whole of Nn Vige was buzzing! yers swarmed in to see whats happening, making the once deserted Mercenary Market now overcrowded. Many yers who had never seen a rare item before, now ran to have a glimpse of it. Five or six minutester, Su Yu returned to the Mercenary Market again. By then, he had already reced all of his gear with Double Speed equipment. [Hill Sheepskin Hood] Speed +0.6, [Wind-like Leather Armor] Speed +0.7, [Language Style Leg Armor] +0.8, [Furry Gloves] +0.4, [Bone-Tooth Boots] +1.2, [Spider Silver Thread Pauldrons] +0.4, [Wild Boar Leather Belt] +0.5. In Evolution, armor is subdivided from top to bottom into hats, pauldrons, breasttes, gloves, belts, leg-guard, and shoes, totaling 7 types. Apart from armor, there are also two ring slots, one ne slot, and two essory slots. However, jewelry and essories only drop from monsters above level 10. Jewelry and essories below level 10, like [Tear of the Goddess], were only given out during quests, and no yers were selling them in the trading stack. After putting on a full set of Speed equipment, Su Yus movement speed was increased by 4.6. Coupling that with his initial movement speed of 1.2, his movement speed had now reached a shocking 5.8! Whats the concept of a movement speed of 5.8? With this speed, it felt as if Su Yu had lost his gravitational constraints. His walking speed had reached 5.8 meters per second, and running speed could reach an astonishing speed of nearly 29 meters per second! You should know that the speed of amon racehorse is 400 meters per minute, even a tigers running speed only reaches 20 meters per second! Su Yu was even much faster than a tiger! Human-shaped car. Although his current speed might not surpass the Howling Moon Wolf, he could easily get away from being pursued by Wolf Kings bodyguard. With this speed, Su Yu finally had the capital to have a showdown with the Wolf King. Outside the market, Su Yu carried a giant sized leather backpack on his shoulder, which was filled with dozens of enhanced rare equipment. This leather backpack was something hed purchased from a tanner in the vige for 20 spiritual energy coins. On one hand, he needed to transport all these rare equipment at once. On the other hand, it was also preparation for the items dropped by the Wolf King. A monster siege boss would drop dozens of items at once, which would be shared among the yers who participated in the kill. If Su Yu did not prepare arge leather backpack, he would not be able to bring back all of the Wolf Kings drops with just the system backpack. Standing at the entrance of the Mercenary Trading Market, Su Yu looked at the clusters of yers around his stall and felt a bit ufortable. He did not expect the equipment he ced to cause such a big stir. But it was alright, one of the characteristics of [Invisibility Skill] was ignoring collision, and with [Invisibility Skill], he could easily blend into the crowd. With this in mind, Su Yu silently activated [Invisibility Skill]. yers nearby were watching Su Yu carefully because among all the yers there, only Su Yu was carrying such arge, bulging backpack. Whats up? The system backpack is not enough for this brother? A yer, seeing Su Yu, approached and reached out to touch Su Yus shoulder, Hey bro, can I know where did you buy your backpack from.. But just as he was about to touch Su Yus shoulder, Su Yus [Invisibility Skill] was activated. The yer found himself hitting the air and was taken aback. Two secondster, he suddenly started to shout in a terrified voice: Ghost! Help! Help! Other yers around him immediately gave him a contemptuous look: Perhaps he just got offline, why are you making such a fuss? The yer yelled for a while before noticing he was making a fool of himself. Mortified, he nervouslyughed and spoke no further. Su Yu, who had activated [Invisibility Skill], quickly moved through the crowd, reaching his stall in no time. Six out of seven items on his stall had been sold already, only the level 5 [Red Wolf Leather Jacket] remained. At the moment, there were quite a few guys hanging around his stall, and these guys were even starting a betting pool over thisst piece of equipment! I bet thest piece of equipment could be sold within an hour! 50 spiritual energy coins! Ill take that bet! Do you dare to raise the stakes? Like, 500 spiritual energy coins? You think Im stupid? If I bet 500, I might as well just buy it myself! Hurry up and bet those 50! Chapter 44 - 44: 44, Solo against a group of wolves! 1 Chapter 44: Solo against a group of wolves! 1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu didnt care about these gambling-addicted guys. He had 47 minutes and 58 seconds left until the [Howling Moon Wolf King] siege. He couldnt waste a single second. He burst with speed, cing 46 items for 420 each on the shelves, and darted from the crowd in thest few seconds that [Invisibility Skill]sted. As the [Invisibility Skill]s effect wore off, Su Yus figure appeared on the outermost part of the crowd. But then, a huge outcry erupted behind him. The onlooking yers seemed to have noticed that the stall information had been updated and widened their eyes in disbelief at the newly shelved wares: What the heck! Am I seeing things?! Did dozens of rare items just pop up on that stall?! OMG! For real! Is this a fixed refresh rare item shop? Its unlikely; the other viges dont have this. Regardless, Im buying first! Level 5 rares only for 420 spiritual energy coins, its a steal! Im envious of rich people, I only have 10 spiritual energy coins. Mixed in these gasps of surprise was a heartwrenchingly furious yell: Damn! My 50 spiritual energy coins! Thats a thousand bucks! But all this had nothing to do with Su Yu anymore. He folded up his oversized backpack, tucked it into his system bag, then left the mercenary exchange market. On the small za in front of the cargo stack, after buying a [Ice Arrow] scroll for 200 spiritual energy coins, Su Yu ran toward Wolf King Valley at the fastest speed. [Ice Arrow (Rare)]: Gather frost elements tounch an elemental ice arrow at the target, causing magical damage equal to 300% spell strength, reducing the targets movement speed by 40% for 3 seconds. Cast time 0.5 seconds, consumes 15 mana points. Now Su Yus running speed was on par with a speeding car on a freeway; he was like a gust of wind. Moreover, he didnt hide his figure. As he dashed past, he immediately attracted many gazes. Who is that? He runs so fast! Must be an NPC, maybe theres a hidden quest? Its not an NPC, its a yer! Because the white hat hes wearing is a [hilltop sheepskin hat], a piece of equipment made by a tailor yer. It really is a yer! How can a yer run so fast? I got it. Hes using a speed gear cheat. Everybody report him! I recorded a video, Im going to post it on the forum now. Soon after, the news of Flying man appears in Newbie Vige No.6 spread both online and offline. Combined with the two big events: The monster attack and Arge number of rare items appear in the mercenary exchange market, Vige No.6 instantly became the focus of all yers, outshining the previously No.l vige Sunny Wind Vige. Arge number of yers flocked in from all other viges. While the vige was abuzz, it became the main area where the yers gathered. None of these mattered to Su Yu, the initiator of all these events didnt know about them. He already reached the depths of Wolf King Valley. Facing the formidable Wolf King and its minions, Su Yu dared not to be careless. He rested against a big tree for a while, slowly regaining his stamina. While resting, he quickly nced at his attribute panel. The full set of max-speed gear dropped his spell strength to 61 points. The gear-added attributes of [Spell Pration] and [Casting Speed] have also gone. But it didnt matter. No matter how much health the Wolf King had, victory was assured if his n seeded. After resting, Su Yu walked out from behind the tree, slowly but firmly towards the Wolf King. He drank a vial of [Minor Potion of Wisdom], Intelligence +10 (the medium one can only be used after reaching level 10). Then casually cast a [Frost Shield]. Following, he summoned a [Rock Elemental] using a scroll and instructed the [Rock Elemental] to follow him. Looking at the Wolf King, The wolves in the valley had already formed a square under the restraint of the [Elite Wolf King Guard]. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] proudly paced at the forefront of the square, reviewing its troops. Seeing Su Yu stride towards them alone, a glint of anthropomorphic confusion shed in its eyes. Did this foolish human not see its mighty wolf army? Was it not afraid to die here? Su Yu simply continued his journey. After entering the 40-meter spell range, he raised his hand and threw out a [Lightning Bolt]. Crackle! -147! The [Lightning Bolt] urately hit the wolf kings thick back, creating a small charred mark. The damage is fine, it seems the wolf kings defense is not too high, Su Yu silently nodded in agreement. Awooo! The wolf king was furious! This petty human dared to attack it! Dared to attack it! Attack it! It! This was unbearable for the wolf king! The figure of the wolf king instantly disappeared and with a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye, it charged towards Su Yu. The wolf pack was also enraged! They dared to harm their leader in front of them! They needed to tear apart his throat and devour his flesh to quench their thirst for vengeance! Under the leadership of a dozen [Elite Wolf King Guards], hundreds of [Howling Moon Wolves] ferociously charged towards Su Yu, intending to cut off his escape route. For a moment, a hundred wolves dashed ahead. The scene appeared incredibly spectacr! The skill unleashed by the wolf king was [Pounce], simr to a warriors [Charge], allowing it to reach the enemy in an extremely short time. Su Yu remained extremely calm. He urately calcted the moment of the wolf kings arrival. As it was about to reach his side, he used [sh Skill]. Whoosh! Su Yu left his original spot, leaving the wolf king pouncing at thin air. After steadying himself, he immediatelyunched the [Ice Arrow] at the wolf king, while also throwing a scroll of [Lesser Fireball Skill] with his left hand. -107! -113! Both spells urately struck the forehead of the wolf king. Fire and icebined, an extreme indulgence! The wolf king evidently did not enjoy such indulgence. After missing its pounce, it let out a howl on the spot, its body erged by 30%, and charged again towards Su Yu who was 20 meters away. The slowing effect of the [Ice Arrow] decreased the wolf kings speed. However, as a rare boss, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] had a considerable resistance to abnormal states. The [Ice Arrow] could only slow it down by 20%, and the duration was also reduced from 4 seconds to less than 3 seconds. But after observing the wolf kings current speed, Su Yu sighed in relief. The speed of the wolf king, after being slowed down by the [Ice Arrow], was faster than him, but only just. Relying on his past lifes experience, he could easily toy with the wolf king! Su Yu quickly turned around, leading the wolf king towards the direction of the cliff. While running away, he also gave the [Rock Elemental] at his side thestmand C to dy the wolf pack! The thick-set rock elemental, with its slow pace, bravely advanced towards the wolf pack. Upon approaching the wolf pack, the rock elemental unleashed [Mass Taunt], targeting all wild wolves in range! The wolves at the front affected by the taunt halted their advance andunched attacks at the rock elemental. The Lone Rock elemental onlysted 5 seconds in the wolf pack before crumbling into piles of rocks. However, the objective had been achieved, Su Yu had already led the Wolf King far away.. Chapter 45 - 45: 45, Planning to Kill the Wolf King! _1 Chapter 45: nning to Kill the Wolf King! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu was leading the [Howling Moon Wolf King] towards the direction of the cliff. However, the process of luring a creature was not as simple as release spell + run away. It involved a high level of technical skill, especially when dealing with a boss creature that possessed a degree of intelligence. As Su Yu had entered the [Howling Moon Wolf King]s threat range, he noticed the Wolf King didnt attack him. Instead, it gave a seemingly confused expression that felt almost anthropomorphic. Through this expression, Su Yu deduced that the Wolf King was rather intelligent. And, with such intelligence, these boss characters would not hesitate to leave once they felt like they stood no chance of catching their enemy, or when their health was critically low and they believed they could be defeated. Therefore, Su Yu had to put on a believable performance while leading the Wolf King to the cliff. He had to incite a sense of deep humiliation in the Wolf King, encouraging it to chase him- And also create the illusion that it was close, very close, to killing this despicable human, so as to keep the Wolf King constantly chasing him without giving up. This was purely a test of courage and acting skills. And so, a heart-stopping chase began in the Wolf King Valley! Su Yus acting was superb. The Wolf Kings enormous ws barely grazed his body over a dozen times, once even tearing his chest armor. But Su Yu always managed to barely and luckily survive. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] was utterly furious now. This despicable human was as slippery as an eel in its hands. There were countless opportunities to tear this human to shreds, but somehow, he always managed to escape, as if by luck. Seeing that its health was still at a healthy 85%, the Wolf King stopped considering other factors and focused solely on pursuing Su Yu, trying its utmost to kill him. The ordinary [Howling Moon Wolves] along the way couldnt keep up with their pace and were easily left behind. Chasing each other, the man and wolf climbed up the slope behind the cliff, drawing closer and closer to its edge. On the surface, Su Yu was panicked and his face was full of despair. He even appeared to stumble while running. But in actuality, he was as steady as a rock. He managed to precisely evade the Wolf Kings attacks each time, even finding opportunities to cast a few spells and scrolls. Gradually, the Wolf Kings health dropped below 60%. The wise creature started to sense that something was wrong. Why was it that despite running and running, its injuries were worsening, yet the human in front of it refused to die? And why was this human leading it to the mountain top (it didnt know that there was a cliff ahead)? Any wolf would know that the space to evade at the mountain top was smaller and climbing uphill consumed stamina, which was not conducive to escape. How could this human make such an elementary mistake? Hence, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] stopped chasing Su Yu and slowly came to a halt. It lowered its head, panting heavily, trying to recover its stamina while contemting whether to retreat. It had been summoned by the Wolf God and needed to destroy the human vige in half an hour! But just at this moment, Like a camel that had been overloaded by the final straw, Su Yu fell heavily to the ground, his eyes tightly shut, as if unconscious. At this moment, he was only 6 to 7 meters away from the cliff. The Wolf King was ted C this despicable human had finally copsed! It immediately activated the [Pounce] skill, lunging towards the copsed Su Yu at the fastest speed. This time, it should be able to kill this human, right?! But just as the Wolf King activated [Pounce], Su Yus eyes snapped open. And he wore a satisfied smile, reminiscent of Jiang Taigong, the ancient Chinese strategist. The fish has taken the bait! Su Yu cast the [sh Skill], towards the direction of the cliff. A beam of white light shed by, and his figure appeared over a dozen meters out in the air off the cliff. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] couldnt control its body during the [Pounce] process and lunged towards Su Yus position after he used the sh Skill, its massive body jumping off the cliff. Ha ha ha ha! Argh Ooo- Apanied by Su Yus heartyughter and the heart-wrenching howl of the Wolf King, man and wolf plummeted from the sky. Actually, by doing this, Su Yu had used the games judgement rules to his advantage. [Pounce] and [Charge] are simr types of skills. When a warrior uses [Charge] against a mage, if the mage uses the sh Skill during the first half of the warriors charge, then the warrior will charge to the mages new location after the sh; If the mage uses the sh Skill during the second half of the warriors [Charge], then the warrior will charge to the mages original location before the sh. This rule exists mainly to nerf mage yers. If a mage yer hastily uses the sh Skill upon seeing the warrior yer use [Charge], then the mage yer will still get hit by the charge. Only when the warrior is in thetter half of the charge, and a sh Skill is urately deployed, can the mage distance himself from the warrior. But now, Su Yu had perfectly utilized this game rule, implementing sh Skill at once during the Wolf Kings [Pounce], sessfully leading the Wolf King off the cliff. This could entirely be said to be a seasoned yersplete obliteration of a noob (Wolf King)! Of course, once Su Yu finished making the sh, it didnt mean he was suddenly idle. Due to the Wolf Kings pounce, it was now very close to him. If the dying Wolf King stretched out its w, it could kill him instantly! He was, of course, fully aware of this. So as soon as the Wolf King got close, Su Yu first pulled out a [Summoning Rock Element] scroll, cing a solid rock element between him and the Wolf King to prevent the Wolf King from attacking him directly. Then he cast [Ice Nova]. He hadnt used Ice Nova in the process of the Wolf King chasing him because the control effect of strong control skills diminishes against monsters. He had been holding off on using [Ice Nova] until now, and it finally came into y! A giant ice ring exploded from Su Yu at the center, freezing both the Wolf King and the rock element together. The Wolf King stared hard at Su Yu, who was so close, but it was now controlled by the ice ring and couldnt raise a w. After freezing the Wolf King, Su Yu quickly took out arge-sized bag from his backpack, facing the rising airflow to open it, with the bags mouth facing downwards. The rising air instantly filled the bag, and like having an extra goblin glider pack, Su Yus falling speed immediately decreased. The Wolf King didnt have anything to reduce its speed and could only follow the pull of gravity to the forest floor, along with the rock element. ArghOoo The Wolf Kings howl echoed through the valley once again. The wolf cubs in the valley seemed to sense their leaders impending doom, and they also started to howl. The cliff was about 500 meters high. It would take about 10 seconds for the Wolf King to fall from the top. And its [Pounce] cooldown time was 15 seconds, meaning it couldnt escape by [Pouncing] on another animal near the ground as it fell. The damage from falling was extremely high, and the Wolf Kings defense was too poor. If it fell from a height of 500 metres, even if it were full health it would undeniably die! so. The Wolf Kings body solidly kissed the ground, its health bar instantly dropping to zero. Bang! Blue and green items exploded from its body and flew high into the sky, creating a beautiful equipment rain. Among them, a strand of golden light was particrly eye-catching! Chapter 46 - 46: 46, Zhan Tianjian in the crossfire, Wolf King’s “Prop Rain”_l Chapter 46: Zhan Tianjian in the crossfire, Wolf Kings Prop Rain_l Trantor: 549690339 Nn Viges streets and alleys were popted with people. Some were discussing the Monster Siege, others chatted about the sudden appearance of sixty to seventy blue pieces of equipment, while others conversed about the Flying man from Nn Vige, creating a lively atmosphere. But, right at the moment when the [Howling Moon Wolf King] was killed, every yer received a system announcement: Ding! The Monster Siege event has ended. Thank you yers for your enthusiastic participation! The moment they received the systems announcement, an eerie silence fell over tne entirety or IN01an vige. Everyone just stared nkly at the system alert, dumbfounded. What the heck! They had rushed here specifically to take part in the Monster Siege which, ording to the countdown timer, was supposed to start in 19 minutes. How did it end without even beginning?! After a moment of silence, a wave of uproar surged throughout Nn Vige. What the fuck! The event ended before it even began? Is the gamepany messing with us? There were no activities when this damned game was released, they didnt even give out any ten-draw gacha gift. Now, when they finally host an event, they dared to stand us up? I traveled all the way from another vige for this! The developers have no sincerity at all. I should just quit this game! Refund my money! The yers were livid, their roars of outrage shooting up to the sky. The official forum was bombarded withints, the homepage filled with discussions about the cancetion of the Monster Siege and various curses aimed at the games developers. Minutester, the games moderators posted on the forum to address the situation. The post read: The Monster Siege was not canceled. Instead, a yer slew the boss and imed the rewards before Monster Siege could take ce, making furtherbat unnecessary. The admins went on to urge yers to look forward to the uing game content and mentioned that other starter viges would also trigger simr Monster Sieges, as an attempt to pacify the angry yers. The pinned post worked wonders. Not long after it was posted, yer outrage shifted from the game management to somewhere else. Conversations about the unscrupulous yers who stole their boss sprang up: I knew it! A big guild must have gone in stealthily and killed the boss! one yer conjectured. Disgusting! Can the big guilds do whatever they want? Theyve stolen all of our rewards! Which big guild was capable of achieving this? In the past, there were no big guilds in the sixth vige, the only one that recently set up camp here, making it their headquarters, is the Zhan Tian guild. It was Zhan Tian again! It must have been their doing! Zhan Tianjian mustpensate us for our boss! Zhan Tianjian,pensate for our boss! Zhan Tianjian, apologize! The siege rewards should be distributed to the yers, how dare they monopolize it all? Exactly, Zhan Tianjian, apologize! Even though their demands were outrageous, yers were known for theirck of rationality. If someone touched their interests, they were going to rant no matter what. Soon enough, the forum began to echo with condemning voices against the Zhan Tian guild. Zhan Tianjian unfairly took the me, utterly dumbfounded. He opened the official forum intending to see yers evaluation of the Monster Siege cancetion. But why were his guild being cursed again on the forum? After browsing a few posts to understand why they were being criticized, Zhan Tianjian rushed to post a rification: Everyone, believe me! Our guild did not secretly kill the boss this time wait, we also didnt collect the vige entry feest time, you have to believe me! Underneath his post, Zhan Tianjian posted pictures of hisbat logs and treasure logs from thest half-hour to prove his innocence. The members of the Zhan Tian guild were also called to back up their leader on the forum, slowly subduing yers criticisms. After everything had calmed down, Zhan Tianjian was left exhausted. Ever since he entered Evolution, Zhan Tianjian felt that he was being controlled by an invisible force. Why were things always going awry? Leaving the drama unfolding online and offline aside for a moment, lets switch back to Su Yu within the game. Su Yu fell from the cliff. His oversized backpack he had bought wasnt a professional gliding kit, it could just slow down his freefall slightly. His descent was still rather rapid. However, that wasnt a problem. The Wolf Kings [Pounce] skill had a 15-second cooldown time. Yet Su Yus [sh Skill] only took 12 seconds to cool down. The backpack helped dy Su Yus contact with the ground by around four seconds. When he was about to hit the ground, the [sh Skill] had already cooled off. With a sh of white light, Su Yu safelynded on the ground amidst the trees. Phew, finally managed to deal with that. After all, a monster is no match for a human in terms of intelligence. Looking at the blue-green object, Fountain, on the Wolf Kings corpse, a sense of fulfillment washed over him. And so, Su Yu transformed into a busy little bee, picking up each piece of equipment and treasure on the ground. Heavier pieces of equipment were stuffed into his system backpack, while the lighter ones were put inside the leather bag. Level 10 green heavy armor boots? Not bad. [Earth Stab] skill scroll? I can use this. Oh! A pet egg, nice! The pet egg was an [Excellent Howling Moon Wolf Egg], which could be hatched into a Howling Moon Wolf pet to assist yers inbat. Each yer could have their first pet once they reached level 10, and could have an additional pet for every 10 levels they gained. However, only one pet could be summoned to assist duringbat. Only once the games second expansion The Kings Conflict was released in two months could the new ss, [Summoner], summon more than one pet to help with battles. Now that Su Yu had the pet egg, he wouldnt need to worry about not having a pet after reaching level 10. Tossing the pet egg into his system backpack, he continued picking up other items. While still in mid-air, Su Yu noticed a gold streak among the equipment and items rain that fell from the Wolf King. His attention was immediately drawn to it. This golden streak was very thin and small, suggesting its not a typical armor-type piece of equipment but more like jewelry or an ornament? But regardless of what it was, any item that could be taken back to the real world was a good one. Su Yu patiently scoured the ground for that golden item. Finally, After most of the pieces of equipment were stored in his backpack, he found that golden item. [Intermediate Health Recovery Potion (Gold)]: Recover 300 health points within 3 seconds. Its a gold-rated healing potion?! Su Yu was ecstatic.. Chapter 47 - 47: Idea of Creating a Guild_l Chapter 47: Idea of Creating a Guild_l Trantor: 549690339 In Su Yus previous life, the golden health potion that could be brought into the real world was extremely rare. The main reason was that neither wild bosses nor dungeon bosses would drop health potions, mana potions, or any consumable items. Golden health potions were only obtained from event bosses like the [Howling Moon Wolf King], and they would asionally appear in a hidden quest, making them extremely scarce. Moreover, the health potions had an unimaginable effect in reality. The [Intermediate Recovery Potion (gold)] in Su Yus hand could even restore him to his peak condition when he was critically injured. It was a lifesaver! Just getting this golden health potion alone makes killing the Wolf King worth Su Yu nodded with satisfaction, took the golden health potion and put it into his system backpack, and let it upy a spot. Then he continued to pick up the loot from the Wolf King. After ten minutes of looting and sorting, Su Yu organized all the gains from killing the Wolf King. The item of highest value was the golden [Intermediate Recovery Potion]; The second most valuable were three [Howling Moon Wolf Eggs (Excellent)]; The third were three excellent quality skill scrolls [Chain Shot], [Bear Transformation], [Stealth]; The fourth was 10 ordinary quality skill scrolls, of which two could be used by Su Yu[Earth Stab], [Lightning Shield]; The fifth was 50 pieces of equipment, 10 of them being rare blue equipment, and 40 being excellent green equipment; In addition, there were 10,000 spiritual energy coins and several dozen low-level potions. All these rewards were originally supposed to be evenly distributed to all yers who participated in the killing, with almost every yer getting decent rewards. But now, all these rewards were hoarded by Su Yu. As he walked back to Nn Vige, his oversized backpack filled to the brim, he was both excited and worried. The excitement was obviously because fighting a solo boss and gaining lots of equipment, the rewards obtained this time were extremely generous! What worried him was how to deal with these equipment and props? Should he sell them at the market? That wasnt out of the question, but doing so wouldnt help him improve. Selling these items for spiritual energy coins was the most he could get, but what he leastcked now was spiritual energy coins. He would only change a few digits of his spiritual energy coins count by selling them, which wasnt of much significance. Instead of selling them, he could gift these items to others and win friends Gift them? Wait! A thought suddenly appeared in Su Yus mindhow about forming a guild? After establishing a guild, he could attract helping hands with these precious skill scrolls and pet eggs. They could carry out odd jobs for him and could also cultivate a core team. After all, high-level dungeons basically couldnt be cleared solo. At least you need to bring in four followers with you to share the damage and attract the monsters, and so on. Plus, as a mage, he had to build his own Mage Tower when he reached a high level. Although he could hire people to build it, it would always be better to have his own team that he could trust. The Mage Tower was a crucial building, whether or not Su Yu could rise to a god in the gameter relied on it! Then Ill create a guild for fun after hitting level 10. Distributing these items to the members in the guild is better than converting them into spiritual energy coins after all. As Su Yu was thinking about it, he returned to Nn Vige. There were no storage or bankers in Nn Vige; they were only avable in the main city. Having no choice, Su Yu could only temporarily store these items and equipment with the old mage in the Magic Hut. In exchange, he bought another batch of supplies from the old mage. Leaving the Magic Hut, he nned to continue leveling in Wolf King Valley. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] dropped plenty of equipment and items, but gave very little experience, only 1000 points. Currently, Su Yus experience level had just passed level 8 at 13%, and he estimated that he would have to wait till 7 pm to get to level 10. On his way to Wolf King Valley, Su Yu opened a private chat with Snow Fall. Su Yu: Are you there? Snow Fall: Yes Su Yu: After I reach level 10, I n to form a guild. Would you be interested in joining? Snow Fall was a good candidate for recruitment. The fact that shepleted the [Tear of Savi Goddess] quest in her previous life was sufficient proof of her strength as thest few stages of this quest were difficult to aplish. Snow Fall: Are you going to form a guild too, Senior? Reviving the Yellow Turban Army? Su Yu: I suppose so. Snow Fall: Okay, count me in. Should I also bring my dad in? He was a huge fan of Zhao Yun from your era! Su Yu: Sure, when the timees, I n to recruit an initial two to three hundred general members. Would you be interested in helping manage the guild? Therell be extra rewards for managers! Su Yu sent over the attributes of the [Stealth] skill scroll and the [Howling Moon Wolf Egg]. He wasnt going to waste his own time managing the guild and could outsource the guild management tasks to Snow Fall. If Snow Fall wasnt willing to take on the task, someone else could do it. Upon seeing the attributes of the [Howling Moon Wolf Egg], Snow Fall was taken aback. She was aware of the Monster Siege Boss incident that was causing an uproar in the forum. yers were criticizing the yer who stole the boss. Now it seemed rather likely that the thief was Nemesis! Thus, she quickly asked: Senior, did you kill the Monster Siege Boss? Yes, whats wrong? You should go check the forum! Everyone there is cursing at you! Really? Su Yu opened the games built-in official forum. Most of the threads on the homepage of the official forum were filled with yers spewing out their rage at the yer who imed the Siege Boss early, calling him shameless, thief, damaging the interests of all yers. Seeing thesements from the yers, Su Yu almostughed in anger. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] wasnt a weakling they made it out to be, as if these yers would be able to kill it. However, after reading the rification post from the official operation officer, which included a line mentioning other beginner viges in the game will also trigger a monster siege, Su Yu quickly found a solution to the problem. So he replied: Ill settle this matter. Snow Fall: Do you need my help? If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact my brother, he will be at your service at any time. Su Yu: I dont need help, just patiently wait for my good news. Ten minutester, Su Yu appeared in the Wolf King Valley of the number one beginner vigeSunny Wind Vige. In the Wolf King Valley of this vige, Su Yu began a wild leveling spree. Using his high movement speed, he gathered together three to four dozen [Howling Moon Wolf] at a time, freezing them in ce with [Ice Noval, then used scrolls of [Rain of Fire], (Electric Chain], [Ice Cone Skill], along with his own Electric Chain skill to wildly bombard the clumps of Howling Moon Wolves. The wolves howled as they fell. An hourter, the yers in the number one newbie vige all received a system announcement: Ding! [Howling Moon Wolf King lv10 (Rare)] has appeared in Wolf King Valley! All attributes and experience points and drops of monsters in Sunny Wind Vige increased by 20% for 1 hour. After 1 hour, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] will lead a wolf invasion of the newbie vige, and yers who participate in killing the [Howling Moon Wolf King] can share a massive amount of rewards! Chapter 48 - 48: 48, The second monster siege, leaderboard opened_l Chapter 48: The second monster siege, leaderboard opened_l Trantor: 549690339 Upon receiving the announcement about the monster siege, a subtle smile yed at the corners of Su Yus mouth. Activating this monster raid wasnt for the purpose of killing the Wolf King again, as the Wolf King only provided 1000 points of experience, and the drops did not improve his situation much. Su Yu was doing this to demonstrate to the yers on the forum who were badmouthing him that the Wolf King was not a monster that current-level yers could kill. To shut the mouths of those trolls in the forum. After all, Su Yu still needed to use this batch of equipment to recruit gang members in the future. If he didnt take this action now, those trolls would surely continue to harass him. That would be disgustingly sickening. After all was done, he left Wolf King Valley in Sunny Wind Vige and returned to the sixth newbie vige. Meanwhile, Sunny Wind Vige was in an uproar. Right after they received the system announcement, the news that Monster Siege has appeared in Sunny Wind Vige quickly spread throughout all newbie viges. yers across the server gathered once more, preparing to take on this monster siege. Major guilds such as Emperor Blood, Zhan Tian, Mu Yun, and more didnt care about their reputations, they assembled squads and headed into Wolf King Valley, hoping to snatch away the siege boss. However, those responsible for the attempt found embarrassingly that they couldnt prate deep into Wolf King Valley. They were forced to retreat after only a few steps by the patrolling wild wolves in the valley, and they could only awkwardly return to the vige to stand guard. An hourter, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] the second, along with its hundreds of wolf spawns, began its assault on Sunny Wind Vige. As Su Yu expected, the wolf packmenced a one-sided massacre of the yers. The [Howling Moon Wolf King] the second was after all a level 10 boss, the [Taunt] skill of the level 4 and level 5 shield bearers were powerless against it. The Wolf King went straight for the back row, massacring the vulnerable priests and mages indiscriminately. The yers were ughtered in droves, calling for their parents amidst a sea of white light. The wolf pack imed victory at every turn, persistently pressing closer. Half an hourter, all the yers in the game received another system announcement: Ding! Sunny Wind Vige has fallen under the onught of the [Howling Moon Wolf King] and will be in an unusable state for the next 48 hours. yers are advised to take refuge in other viges! ording to the descriptions from the few yers who saw the Wolf Kingst, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] still had 46% of its health left even after the monster siege ended! Upon suffering such a significant blow, the atmosphere on the forum changed instantly. All previous voices that had criticized Su Yu as a thief and a robber vanished, reced by a chorus ofints: The [Howling Moon Wolf King] is too strong! It moves so fast its like teleporting! This Wolf King ignores properbat etiquette, itpletely ignores the shield bearers and targets our back row! Who can withstand that? And this Wolf King also has about a dozen bodyguards! Each one of them is a level 10 boss! How could anyone possibly kill them?! I really want to know, how did the first Wolf King die? Who killed it?! Whoever killed it must be incredibly strong! Could the first one have been killed by a bug? Quit fooling yourself with a bug! Youve been ying games for so long, have you even seen a bug? Er actually, no. Until now, there was no one criticising Su Yu in the forum anymore. Instead, everyone was curious: how did the first Wolf King die? Who could be so powerful? Su Yu didnt pay much attention to any of this. After returning to Nn Vige, he immediately went to Wolf King Valley to grind levels in seclusion. This time, he was going to stay in Wolf King Valley until he reached level ten. An hour and a halfter, he received the announcement about the fall of Sunny Wind Vige, while Snow Fall sent him a congrattory message: Senior, the siege boss is really powerful! Itpletely destroyed Sunny Wind Vige! I bet those trolls in the forum wont dare to criticize you anymore! Su Yu: Thats expected. At this stage, yers are not capable of dealing with the Wolf King. I am quite aware of that. Snow Fall: So, how did you kill the Wolf King? Su Yu: A high-level NPC that was passing by gave me a buff. Snow Fall: Snow Fall: I have another question. When are you nning to form the Yellow Turban Army? Su Yu: Lets wait a bit longer, until a majority of the yers reach Level 10. Snow Fall: Alright. The two ended their private chat. The main reason Su Yu wanted to form a guild was to prepare for a core gamey element in theter stages of the game the Mage Tower. As yer levels increase, the number of equivalently leveled wild beasts decreases. By the time you reach level 84 as the [Star-forged Dragon King], there are only 12 NPCs in the entire game that are stronger than the Dragon King, so theres no way to level up by killing beasts. As forpleting quests, they dont give much experience either. So, in theter stages of the game, mages must build Mage Towers, hurling massive amounts of Warcraft materials into the core Mana Pool of the Mage Tower, and only by purifying and absorbing the magic energy in the Mana Pool can they level up. These Warcraft materials are umted by yers, and the amount required is enormous! If Su Yu wants to reach the peak of strength both in the game and in reality, he must have millions, even tens of millions, of yers silently collecting materials for him. Only by relying on thebined strength of everyone can he build a top-tierbatant capable of opposing Skuru. (This is precisely why Su Yu despises Zhan Tianjian; how could such a formidable person who was built with the sacrifice and resources of countless people betray them? Unforgivable!) Originally, Su Yu nned to cooperate with Country in theter stages, but now he thinks its better to form a guild first and train a reliable team. With his mind in thoughts, Su Yu continued to ughter the [Howling Moon Wolf] in the valley. At 7 p.m., Su Yu finally filled his experience bar and leveled up to 10! Once he reached level 10, all online yers received a system alert: Ding! A yer has leveled up to 10, the level leaderboard is now open! Hearing this system alert, productive leveling areas in various novice viges fell silent and then erupted into an uproar: What? Someone reached level 10?! Ive just reached level 4! I logged on quite early today, and Im only at level 5. Which big shot leveled up so quickly? yers crowded to open the level leaderboards on their system interface. First: Nemesis, Level 10, Mage. Second: A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, Level 8, Assassin. Third: Emperor Blood ys the Sky, Level 8, Warrior. Fourth: Frost Red Tea, Level 7, Assassin. Fifth: Cang Shan You Jing, Level 7, Archer. The yers were going crazy: I kneel to the skills of the big shots! I couldnt even reach level 7 after leveling up for 24 hours straight! Nemesis, youre the forever god in our hearts! Youre even two levels above the second ce! Leveling up as a mage early on in the game is really tough, just a few spells and were out of mana. How is Nemesis leveling up so fast? While Nemesis is about to head to the main city, Ill still be stuck in the novice vige for a few more days! Man, its killing me justparing with others! Soon, the level leaderboards screenshots began circting offline, and the official forum had also kicked off a feverish discussion about this image. At the same time, Zhong Feng was eating his bread and browsing the official forum on hisptop. When he saw Su Yus eye-catching level 10, he was dumbfounded, and the bread in his mouth no longer seemed appetizing. Soon, he received a message from hisrade-in-arms [The range is the truth]: Mr. Zhong, have you seen the level leaderboard yet? I saw it. How do you feel about it? I dont feel anything, Zhang Jiao is really amazing! Sigh! We also need to think of a way to catch up. We modern people cant let an ancient person beat us in gaming! Its hard! However, you shouldnt have apetitive mindset. Its always a good thing for us humans that Zhang Jiao is so strong. Youre right.. Chapter 49 - 49: 49, Tier 10 attributes, Strengthen Skill 1 Chapter 49: Tier 10 attributes, Strengthen Skill 1 Trantor: 549690339 Within Wolf King Valley, Su Yu was also following the ranking board. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, Frost Red Tea, Cang Shan You Jing I didnt expect these masters to distinguish themselves so early, Su Yu said with a sigh. Cang Shan You Jing was a famous hardworking yer from the Zhan Tian guild, an expert in game plots who had an extremely acute sense for hidden tasks. Frost Red Tea was a lone ranger and the top assassin in his previous life, with an undisputed status in the gaming world. As for A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, this guy was very interesting. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was also a lone ranger and one of the most legendary characters in the early stages of the game. In the real world, he was born into a martial arts family and his martial skills were the best in the entire China martial arts circle without a doubt. What he knew was not the fancy yet ineffective martial arts meant for performance, but true martial arts! After entering the game, due to his incredible skills, no minor monsters couldnd a hit on him. He was like a walking 100% dodge rate, making him the yer with the fastest leveling speed in the game. But he didnt like the assassin profession. He felt it didnt suit his character because assassins moved stealthily, so he didnt y seriously in the early stages. When the third expansion pack Pandaren Empire wasunched and four new professions C Martial Artist, Monk, Taoist and Alchemist C were added, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated epted the hidden mission to change his profession to Martial Artist. With his extraordinary strength and heaven-defying luck, he rose to the top quickly, bing a yer who could rival Snow Leopard in the third expansion pack. These three yers were undoubtedly the top dogs in the game. Su Yu casually sent a friend request to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated and Frost Red Tea. After waiting for a while, he received no response. Perhaps they were overwhelmed with a flood of friend requests from other yers and were too busy to respond. Shaking his head, Su Yu opened his own property panel. After leveling up to level 10, Su Yus property panel read: Character: [Nemesis] Level: LVIO Profession: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 14, Agility: 14, Intelligence: 46, Constitution: 14, Luck: 10 Magic Power: 66 Health Points: 170 Mana Points: 1280 Defense: 81 Spell Critical Strike Rate: o Movement Speed: 5.8 Experience Points: 3/12,000 Wealth: 7,378,758,150 Spiritual Energy Coins Equipment: [Vige Chiefs Staff Lv5 (Rare Gold)], [Hill Sheeps Leather Cap Lv4 (Rare)] [Tear of the Goddess (Epic)] Skills: [Magic Bullet (Rare)], [Star Pointer (Legendary)][Lightning Shield (Rare)]. There was a significant boost when leveling up to 10. His equipment and skills could be upgraded again, up to the legendary quality. Ding, do you want to spend 10,000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Magic Bullet (Rare)]? Confirm! Ding, please select the enhancement direction for [Magic Bullet]: 1. [Elemental Burst]: After hitting an enemy, it deals 30% damage to all enemies within 4 meters; 2. [Spell Control]: You can guide it over a small distance after casting. Note: The enhancement direction can be changed with 10,000 spiritual energy coins. Upgrading to epic quality even grants the option to choose an enhancement direction? Choose2. Su Yu picked one at random, since he doesnt use this spell anyway. Congrattions! The quality of [Magic Bullet (Rare)] has been upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Epic)]. A dazzling golden aura surrounded Su Yus [Magic Bullet] skill icon, then exploded in a grand disy. The color of the [Magic Bullet] skill icon turned to a pleasing purple. Su Yu didnt stop, he continued to upgrade. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Ice Arrow]: 1. [Icy Bone Piercing]: Add 15% chance to freeze the enemy; 2. [Star Bloodline]: Every third casting of the spell costs zero mana consumption. Choose 1. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Frost Shield]: 1. [Physical Barrier]: Nullify the first physical damage you receive; 2. [Magic Barrier]: Nullify the first magic damage you receive. (Note: The damage nullified cannot exceed 10 times the maximum shield value). Choose 1. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Electric Chain]: 1. [Elemental Echo]: 20% chance to cast one additional spell of the same type; 2. [Multiple Bounces]: The number of damage bounce increases to 5. Choose 2. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [sh Skill]: 1. [sh]: The skill has two charges; 2. [Fold Over]: Teleportation distance increases by 5 meters. Choose 1. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Invisibility Skill]: 1. [Stealth Master]: Cooldown time reduces by 1 minute; 2. [Stealth Break Strike]: Your first spell or attack damage increases by 30% when in stealth. Choose 1. Su Yu spent some time enhancing all his skills. Skills being upgraded to legendary quality not only increased attributes, but also added some extra features. Some features were not of much use to Su Yu, such as the reduced mana consumption feature of [Ice Arrow]. But some features were very powerful! Like the [Physical Barrier] special feature of [Frost Shield]. Su Yu did a rough estimate. If he conjured [Frost Shield], he could currently resist the first attack from a level 30 warrior or archer. In the real world, it would be like shielding against a bullet from a handgun. And as his level continues to rise, this feature will be more and more powerful! At high levels, it will even be possible to withstand a missile explosion! Aside from skills, his equipment can also be enhanced. But after having a look around, the only thing he needed to strengthen was the [Vige Chiefs Staff]. There was no need to uplift the other cloth armor at the moment. He currently has adequate damage output, wearing dual-speed gear is better, allowing him to level up andplete tasks more quickly. If therees a time when he encounters a boss he cant defeat, or when his leveling speed slows down, then hell think about swapping out for high-level cloth armor. So, Su Yu only strengthened the [Vige Chiefs Staff]. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction for [Vige Chiefs Staff]: 1. Add Skill: [sh Skill]; 2. Magic Power +10. Theres an Add Skill option? Su Yus eyes lit up. Without giving it a second thought, he directly chose 1. Add Skill was generally something only legendary quality equipment had. He didnt expect that when [Vige Chiefs Staff] was strengthened, it actually had an option to add a skill! Adding a [sh Skill] to [Vige Chiefs Staff] meant that even if Su Yu didnt have this skill, he could still cast [sh Skill] using [Vige Chiefs Staff]. Moreover, the [sh Skill] on [Vige Chiefs Staff] did not share a cooldown with his own [sh Skill]. In other words, along with the added charge from the upgraded [sh Skill], Su Yu could cast three [sh Skills] consecutively in a short period of time! This greatly increased his chances of survival! Chapter 51 - 51: 51, Three Instances of Level 10_1 Chapter 51: Three Instances of Level 10_1 Trantor: 549690339 Ding! Congrattions! Youve triggered the hidden quest, [Centaurs Lingering Feelings]. Do you ept? ept. Since the hidden quest that was triggered was rted to Tina, might as well do it within the flow. Ding! Youve epted the hidden quest, [Centaurs Lingering Feelings (Rare) 1/10]. Quest Description: Take the red foal to Orleans City, find the warrior guild supervisor Quinn, and ask her why Tina abandoned her mount. Quest Reward: 200 Experience Points. Chief Uncle, Ill take my leave then. Su Yu, having mounted the little mule, waved goodbye to the vige chief. The little mule neighed softly inpliance, showing no resistance to Su Yu riding it. It might be because it smelled its master Tinas scent on Su Yu. Wait a moment, adventurer! The vige chief called back Su Yu while waving his hand. Is there something else? Of course, important matters. The chief took out a notebook and scribbled in it for a while, then tore off a few pages from the book and handed them to Su Take these pages to the royal capital of Goldfinch City and find Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess. He will tell you how to meet the princess. Ding! Your main quest has been updated! [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (2/100)]. Quest Requirement: Head to Goldfinch City, find Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess, and find out how to meet the princess. Quest Reward: 500 Experience Points. Su Yu took a look at the papers from the vige chief, the contents mainly describing the crimesmitted by the Star-forged Dragon King when he attacked the novice vige. Alright, Chief. I will inform the princess as soon as I can. Su Yu once again said goodbye to the vige chief and left, riding the horse. He walked along the vige on the little mule, which cooperated with everymand Su Yu gave. Whether he asked it to turn left or make a U-turn, it obeyed obediently. The only downside was that it ran too slowly, but everything else was okay. Maybe Tina abandoned the little mule in order to be a Unicorn Knight, I wonder what the final reward of the quest will be Su Yu mused. But Su Yu forgot, yers at this stage dont have mounts! Riding the little mule along the vige path, yers on both sides of the road all turned their attention to him: Who is that? Howe he is riding a horse? I heard yers can only ride mounts at level 10. There is only one level 10 yer on the leaderboard Is this the great yer Nemesis?! Great yer Nemesis, sponsor me! Power level me! yers recognized Su Yu and crowded around him enthusiastically. The road in front was quickly blocked by the crowd. Seeing the throng of people gathering, Su Yu realized he shouldnt have been gallivanting around on a horse. So Su Yu quickly dismounted and unsummoned the little mule in his mount column. The little mule disappeared on the spot, and a red horse token appeared in Su Yus pack. With this horse token, Su Yu can summon the little mule again. At this point, the yers had alreadypletely surrounded him. Some female yers even started to reach out and touch him. Frightened, Su Yu quickly used [Invisibility Skill], as well as [sh Skill] to dodge within a small range, barely avoiding these female yers wandering hands. Three secondster, the [Invisibility Skill] effect took ce, and Su Yu had a narrow escape. The yers only saw Su Yus figure gradually fading, and then no shadow of him was left. The target had suddenly vanished, leaving the yers looking at each other: Where is he? Where is he? Did he log off? Then well hold our ground here until Nemesis logs in! Yes, well stand guard together. The yers stayed around the spot where Su Yu had cast [Invisibility Skill], unwilling to disperse. s! It seems like I cant ride a horse to the main city anymore. Su Yu sighed and arrived at the dungeon merchant, Jennys side. After spending 20 spiritual energy coins on a level 10 dungeon ticket, three portals appeared behind Jenny. Each portal represented a dungeon. These three dungeons were different from the level 5 dungeon. The level 5 dungeon was built on monsters, whereas the three level 10 dungeons were built on real events of Annie. Annie was the little girl NPC who once led the Star-forged Dragon King to chase after Su Yu, she was also one of only two heroines in the novice vige. The first dungeon, its name was [Little Annie the Match-Seller]. It told the story of Annie selling matches on the street when she was five years old. Would you buy a matchstick? At the time, it was snowing heavily. Annie was cold and hungry without shoes, yet no one bought her matches. With lips turning purplish-ck, she struck the first match and saw a warm stove; Struck the second match, she saw a delicious roast goose; Struck the third match, she saw a beautiful Christmas tree; Struck the fourth match, she saw her long-lost grandmother. These were Annies four dreams. On the brink of freezing to death, she awakened her witchs abilities, and arge number of nightmare monsters appeared in her dreams, threatening to plunge the entire city into slumber. The yers task was to enter the four dreams and eliminate the nightmare monsters to prevent Annie from freezing to death and the city from being overrun by these monsters. The second dungeon was called [Little Annie and the Big Bad Wolf]. The story moved on to when Annie was seven and had been adopted by a wizard couple. One day, Annie went to deliver food to her grandmother in the forest, only to find that her grandmother had been eaten by a big bad wolf. A bear from the forest could not stand by and watch. It cut open the wolfs belly with the yers help, freeing Annies grandmother. Annie was extremely grateful to the bear. Nevertheless, as Annie had now be evil, she enved the bear with her spell, turning it into her own toy. The third dungeon was named [Amumus Tragedy]. This dungeon narrated the love story of Annie. A little mummy named Amumu was in love with Annie, but she rejected him. Annie had a fondness for a Yordle named Teemo. Amumu suffered a great blow. He began to indulge in self-destruction,pletely immersing himself in his fantasy world. What the yers needed to do was enter Amumus fantasy world, get rid of the monsters inside, to prevent them from multiplying, spreading, and consuming his brain. Su Yu had cleared these three dungeons many times and was very familiar with their mechanisms. But at this point, he could only choose the [Amumus Tragedy] dungeon, as the other two dungeons were impossible to clear solo. To clear [Little Annie the Match-Seller] dungeon, the yer needs to break through the third and fourth dreams simultaneously, and kill two bosses. In [Little Annie and the Big Bad Wolf] dungeon, the Big Bad Wolfs signature skill [Hungry Wolf Gaze] is a lock-on skill, requiring five yers to stand together to share the damage to pass. [Hungry Wolf Gaze] is actual damage. Even with the addition of [Frost Shield], Su Yu could not withstand it, so he had no choice but to select [Amumus Tragedy] dungeon. Truthfully speaking, the end boss of [Amumus Tragedy], Swift Scout Teemo, has a special mechanism that requires the coboration of five yers to pass, and it was quite challenging for Su Yu to clear it solo. However, among the three dungeons, only this one had the possibility of being cleared. Su Yu had no choice but to brace himself and teleport in.. Chapter 52 - 52: 52, (Amumu’s Sorrow) Dungeon (Upper) _1 Chapter 52: (Amumus Sorrow) Dungeon (Upper) _1 Trantor: 549690339 Entering the dungeon. The first third of the dungeon is a vast desert, with the scorching sun overhead, and sand whirling in the wind. At the entrance to the dungeon, Su Yu saw the protagonist of the dungeon the Sad Mummy, Amumu. Amumu was a small mummy wrapped in grayish-green bandages. He was crouched in a corner, his eyes flickering with loneliness and sorrow. Seeing Su Yu, he slowly walked over and greeted him: Hello, adventurer. I am Prince Amumu of the Kingdom of Shurima. I love a girl named Annie (100 words omitted) Now, we need to defeat an opponent to prove to Annie that I can protect her! After Amumu finished speaking, he walked along the only path in the dungeon. Su Yu hurried to follow. After about a dozen steps, the first batch of small mobs appeared in front of them. [Restless Mummy] Health Points: 750 Attack Power: 30 Skills: [Deadly Bite]: Bites the target, inflicting 120% damage, stacks ayer of [Deadly Poison], and refreshes the [Deadly Poison] effects duration on the target. [Poison]: Inflicts 5 points of poison damage per second,sting 4 seconds. Can stack up to 10 times. Revive (Passive): Upon death, immediately revives, restoring 30% of maximum health. Can only activate once. [Sand Soldier] Health Points: 650 Attack Power: 45 Skills: [Sand Sprint]: Charges towards the targets location, causing the next attack to deal 150% attack damage. [Heart with the Sand (Passive)]: Changes the attack target randomly every 5 seconds, ignoring any form of forced attack effects. The first wave of mobs in the dungeon was made up of 5 in total, three [Restless Mummies] and two [Sand Soldiers]. After reaching level 10, the difficulty of the dungeon mobs noticeably increased. The stacking poison effect of the [Restless Mummy] is very troublesome for tank sses. If damage sses cant quickly dispose of them, tanks can easily copse from having too manyyers of [Deadly Poison]. [Sand Soldier] switches attack targets every 5 seconds and doesnt get taunted, posing a huge threat to fragile mages, priests, and hunters. It can be said that if a five-man party doesnt have good coordination or superior equipment, they would have difficulty getting past even the first wave of mobs. But for Su Yu, these mobs were not at all difficult. The [Restless Mummies] couldnt even get close to him, he just needed to watch out for the [Sand Sprint] of the Sand Soldiers. The battle began. The [Restless Mummy] let out a eerieugh, extending its ws towards him and shuffling forward. The two [Sand Soldiers] moved very fast, activating [Sand Sprint] and charging towards Su Yu in the form of two golden phantoms. Su Yu was not flustered at all. When the [Sand Soldiers] got close, a massive ice ring exploded from him as the center, freezing the two Sand Soldiers. Then the [Lightning Bolt], [Electric Chain], and [Lesser Fireball Skill] scroll were mercilessly thrown at the frozen soldiers. -221 -132 -220 -131 With two spellsbined with two scrolls, one of the [Sand Soldiers], with a high health point of 650, immediately fell, while the other ones health was reduced to two-thirds. Su Yu threw two more spells, and this Sand Soldier also fell to the ground. As for the remaining three [Restless Mummies], they were still quite far from su Yu. While Su Yu was battling the five mobs, Amumu also tossed his bandages and ensnared a distant [Restless Mummy], pulling himself towards it. But his fighting power was almost negligible. His attacks on the mummy could only inflict single-digit damage like -5, -8, etc. After disposing of the remaining mobs with his spells, Su Yu and Amumu continued forward. The vast desert was not just popted with mobs but also littered with enormous sand vortexes. If a yer strayed into a sand vortex due to a mistake, they would be sucked in and instantly killed. This was something that had given the initial trailzers a hard time. However, having run this dungeon dozens of times, Su Yu knew the location of all the sand vortexes like the back of his hand. Skilfully avoiding the sand vortexes and clearing out the mobs along the way, Su Yu and Amumu arrived in front of the first boss of the dungeon. The first boss of the dungeon was known as the [Desert Emperor Azir]. The Desert Emperor was standing on top of a towering pyramid, holding a golden spear in his right hand, d in golden armor, his face stern as he observed everything below. Azir was the Emperor of the Kingdom of Shurima and Amumu was the Prince of the Kingdom of Shurima. But the two were not father and son, but rivals. Amumu strode towards Azir and said, Azir, I will defeat you thoroughly! Only by doing so can I prove I have the ability to protect Annie! The Desert Emperor shook his head in confusion, Amumu, what kind of strange logic is this? Why does defeating me prove that you can protect Annie? I dont care, I just want to defeat you! Amumu was very stubborn. Then he turned to Su Yu with his eyes filled with vague longing, Lets go, adventurer, youre going to help me right? Of course. Su Yu nodded his head and directlyunched a [Lightning Bolt] towards the Desert Emperor. -201 A huge number popped up above the Desert Emperors head. The Desert Emperor was furious, and began to summon [Sand Soldiers]. [Desert Emperor Azir] is a boss with a tempo y. In phase one, the boss would summon 10 [Sand Soldiers]. The boss would attack yers with 3 soldiers while the remaining 7 Sand Soldiers formed a line, running around on the vast ground in front of the pyramid. At the same time, a type of energy block known as [Gold Crystal] would randomly spawn on the open area in front of the pyramid. If a yer absorbs the energy block, their damage will increase by 50%, if the 7 running Sand Soldiers absorb the energy block, their numbers would increase by 3. If yers continually fail to absorb the energy block, the number of running Sand Soldiers could increase to 16. Once the count reaches 16, the Sand Soldiers would abandon the energy block and attack yers, thereby leading to aplete wipe out. The mechanism is a bit like the game Snake. The line formed by the 7 [Sand Soldiers] is the snake, and the yers have topete with the snake for the energy block. For the usual five-man party, they would assign a role with high mobility like an assassin to grab the energy block, while the others intercept the boss and three Sand Soldiers. But the boss had extremely high health points, if the yer grabbing energy blocks couldnt multitask and deal damage to the boss while grabbing the blocks, it would easily lead to the party getting wiped out. Su Yu had it easier as he could currently cast three [sh Skills] consecutively, and coupled with his full speed gear, grabbing the energy block was no problem. Furthermore, he could continuously deal damage to the boss. Under his powerful spells, the bosss health rapidly fell to 30%.. Chapter 53 - 53: 53, (Amumu’s Sorrow) Dungeon (Lower) 1 Chapter 53: (Amumus Sorrow) Dungeon (Lower) 1 Trantor: 549690339 Throughout, Amumu continually attacked the main body of the Desert Emperor, but his damage was still unbearable to look at, only inflicting -5, -8. Once his health dropped to 30%, the Desert Emperor entered the second phase. In the second phase, all the Sand Soldiers vanished from the battlefield in an instant, the body of the Desert Emperor broke apart and transformed into 10 golden lights. The 10 golden lights traced out 10 parabolic curves andnded on the ground, turning into 10 golden roosters. Out of these 10 roosters, one was the physical body of the Desert Emperor, and the remaining nine were illusions. The roosters stood widely spaced apart, pecking leisurely at the yellow sand on the ground, their health gradually recovering at a rate of 1% per second. The yers needed to distinguish the real boss from the illusions, unleashing all their power on the real one in order to kill it. If the yers misjudge and attack an illusion with all their might, the bosss health would restore to full, forcing them to start over. All ten roosters appeared identical on the surface, but the real one differed slightly from the others in detail. Essentially, its a spot the difference game. Su Yu was really good at these types of games. His sharp eyes quickly identified the physical body of the boss in the convolution of roosters C a rooster with a ck spot on itsb. A series of high-level spells continuously assail the boss, bringing its health to zero, and a golden ethereal figure takes away the Desert Emperors soul. It left behind a shining golden chest in its ce. The boss was vanquished easily! Opening the chest, he found a scepter inside, a blue rarity level scepter at that! [Desert Emperor Scepter IVIO (Rare)] Magic Strength +30 Intelligence +10 Trait: During your attack or casting spells, theres a 5% chance of summoning a [Sand Soldier] to fight for you. Its a rare-level scepter! Su Yus eyes lit up. In the game, monsters below level 10 can only drop excellent level equipment at most, while monsters at levels 10-29 can drop rare level pieces. Unexpectedly, Su Yu received a rare category equipment on his first clearance of a level 10 boss monster! Su Yu immediately equipped the scepter and upgraded it to an epic quality. Ding, please select the enhancement direction for the [Desert Emperor Scepter]: 1. Magic Strength +10; 2. Trait activation probability increased to After thinking, Su Yu decided that summoning [Sand Soldiers] wasnt that beneficial, so he chose Magic Strength +10. After equipping the new scepter, his Magic Strength increased by 23 points, reaching 89, this led to a significant increase in the damage he could inflict! At that moment, Amumu slowly walked to the spot where the Desert Emperors soul was taken, muttering, Did you see, Annie? I defeated Desert Emperor Azir; I have the power to protect you now. Would you be with me? In your dreams! A red figure suddenly appeared atop the pyramid in front; it was Annie! Look at how poor, ugly, short, and wretched you are. Even if I die, I wouldnt be with you! Annie said decisively. Ahh Amumu let out a scream of despair. The surrounding desert scene filled with yellow sand broke apart in an instant, transitioning the instance into the second scene. The second scene was a pitch-ck Dark Forest. Annie, dont leave me! This must be a test from you, isnt it? You are my entire world; how could I live without you? Amumu copsed onto the soil of the Dark Forest, crying bitterly. After shedding some tears, he slowly stood up, No! Annie must be ahead! Adventurer, are you willing to apany me in finding Annie? Of course. Su Yu shrugged. The second phase of the instance took ce in the ghastly forest. Amumus spirit had copsed by now, so all the monsters in the second phase were giant eye-covered tentacles and some horror-indescribable creatures, all very Lovecraftian. They continued along, defeating these monsters, until they finally reached the second boss. The second boss was [Annie and Tibbers]. In this battle, Annie and Tibbers, the teddy bear, would both attack the yer. Annie had her usual set of skills, [Fractured Fire], [Burn], [Magma shield]. However, the tricky part of this boss battle was that while the yers were required to defeat Tibbers, they must not deal any damage to Annie, who needed to maintain 100% health. If any yer identally injured Annie with magic or physical attacks, Amumu would go berserk, unleashing the [Mummys Curse], dealing -9999 damage to all yers! Moreover, Annie was very aware of this. She would often walk into the line of fire between the ranged sses and Tibbers, intentionally wanting the yers to hurt her. Thankfully, Su Yu had upgraded his [Magic Bullet]. With the help of the upgraded short-range guidance trait of the [Magic Bullet], Su Yu sessfully managed to bypass Annie and kill Tibbers. After Tibbers died, Annie nced coldly at Amumu, Give it up. My heart belongs to the Swift Scout Teemo from Bandle City. Hes much more attractive than you! Ahh Amumu howled in despair yet again, causing the surrounding Dark Forest scene to shatter. The instance transitioned to its third scene, the sunny Bandle City. Amumuy prostrate on the ground, sobbing, Annie, I swear Ill find you. But before that, Teemo must die! Amumus eyes red up with rage, Adventurer, are you willing to go with me to Bandle City and eliminate Teemo? Whatever. Su Yu shrugged. They continued along the sole path of the instance, casually eliminating minor monsters. Finally, Su Yu and Amumu arrived at a massivewn. On the other side of thewn was the final boss of the instance[Swift Scout Timo]. Upon reaching here, Su Yu started to get serious. Thats because Teemo was a tough boss to conquer, even with his current strength, it would still be difficult. At the start of the boss fight, the vastwn in front would be divided into 1630 blocks, totaling to 480 blocks, with 99 of them containing Teemos mushrooms. When a yer steps on a block, if theres a mushroom around it, the block would disy number 1. If there are two mushrooms around, the block would show 2, and so forth. If there are no mushrooms around, the block will disy the details of the surrounding blocks, until it disys a block with numbers on it. If any yer steps on a block containing a mushroom, all yers would be instantly killed. Passing over all blocks without stepping on a mushroom within ten minutes would result in a sessful pass. This y style is derived from the ssic game Minesweeper. The game even took it a step further. While yers sweep for mines, they also have to endure attacks from boss Teemo. Teemo would spit darts to blind yers, causing them to be unable to see the numbers near them, and stand still as a result. Additionally, Teemo would change the location of the mushrooms, making this a great challenge to the yers memory. For Su Yu, this boss was tough to handle. Originally, this was a five-person instance of Minesweeper. As he was attempting to clear the instance alone, he would have to step on all blocks by himself, making it five times more difficult! However, Su Yu had no other choice. Since he had reached this far, there was no going back. He had to face it head-on.. Chapter 54 - 54: 54. I casually killed the siege boss_l Chapter 54: 54. I casually killed the siege boss_l Trantor: 549690339 Under the IX7-1X9 square, there are three 2s, its hard to figure out which two squares have the mushrooms The mushroom cement in the 1614 area has been reset, exploration must start all over Damn! Such a tricky blowgun! Su Yu was speeding around the massivewn at top speed. One by one, the spaces without mushrooms were discovered, while those spaces with mushrooms were all gged with a red g. After Minesweeper was converted to a 3D live-action version of Mushroom Array, the difficulty has significantly increased due to the inability to have aplete overview. Moreover, Teemo would asionally reset the mushroom cement in a small area, adding to Su Yus difficulties. Su Yu was extremely focused and fully immersed in the Mushroom Array, even more concentrated than when he was dealing with the [Howling Moon Wolf King]. Luckily, his speed was pretty fast or else he wouldnt be able to defeat this boss on his own. Amumu didnt join Su Yu in exploring the mushrooms. Upon seeing Teemo, he stormed off in rage. Teemo, you must die! Amumus yellow eyes turned blood red. Seeing a love rival always made ones eyes red. Teemo was casually lying amidst the bushes, nibbling on a de of grass. Seeing Amumu approaching, he replied with a cold look: There are so many people who want me dead! What do you count as? If you really want me dead,e through my mushroom field! Saying so, Teemo brought out his blowgun and blew a dart at Su Yu. At the same time, he tossed a gigantic green mushroom into the arena, resetting the mushroom cements in a small area once again. The dart was too fast to be visible to the naked eye. The moment Teemo raised his blowgun, Su Yu released [sh Skill], barely evading the dart attack. Teemo instantly entered invisibility mode after blowing the dart, rendering Amumu unable to attack him. So all Amumu could do was to cheer Su Yu on: Hang in there, adventurer. Break his mushroom array and let him see what were made of! Upon saying this, a golden light shot out from Amumu and bolstered Su Yu. [Amumus blessing]: movement speed +20%. This buff would normally benefit Su Yu. But the problem was that Su Yus movement speed was already fast, he had to evade Teemos darts and decode the mushroom array at the same time. Caught off guard by the sudden movement speed buff, he almost couldnt brake in time and almost stepped into a very obvious mushroom field. Dont give people random buffs! Su Yu was frustrated. However, he didnt have time to reproach Amumu and had to continue decoding the mushroom array. Finally, when the clock hit 9 minutes and 25 seconds, Su Yu stepped on thest numerical square besides the mushroom. Bang Bang Bang! All the mushrooms in the array were activated and exploded at once, filling the entirewn with green poisonous smoke. Su Yu stood in a ce free of mushrooms and was not affected by the poison. Teemos invisibility wore off. Amumu, filled with rage, grabbed his cor: You thief! Give me back my Annie! Annie? Teemo looked perplexed: I dont like Annie, I like Tristana. Amumu let out a despairing roar as his dreampletely shattered, and thus, the instance ended. Finally passed it! Su Yu was panting for breath. If it werent for the sake of maintaining his dignity, he wouldve loved to lie on the ground for a bit of rest. Doing the work of five people alone is freaking tiring! Next time, Im definitely finding some helpers before doing such instance! Afterpleting the instance, a system prompt sounded: The system has detected that youre the first yer toplete the level 10 instance, and as a reward, you have earned 1 World Prestige point. An announcement will soon be made to all servers, do you wish to remain anonymous? No anonymity. [Server-wide announcement: yer Nemesis has sessfullypleted the level 10 five-yer instance [Amumus Sorrow]. As the first yer toplete a level 10 instance, he has been rewarded with 1 World Prestige point as encouragement] [Server-wide announcement: yer Nemesis has sessfullypleted the level 10 five-yer instance [Amumus Sorrow]. As the first yer toplete a level 10 instance, he has been rewarded with 1 World Prestige point as encouragement] [Server-wide announcement: yer Nemesis] Just like the announcement at level five, this announcement echoed three times in the ears of all yers. But the massive sensation it caused this time was different from thest. When they received this announcement, the areas where yers gathered fell somewhat silent. In the level 8 wild dungeon in the beginner vige number two- yers were farming the monsters around them, expressing their astonishment: Nemesis actually cleared an instance again? Yes! And its a level 10 instance I havent even cleared the level 5 instance. Ive managed to clear one, I barely passed the simplest [Thunder Cliff] when I was level six, we nearly wiped out nearly 20 times before we did! But with Nemesis, he soloed the instance! Yes, who else indeed? I suspect were not even ying the same game. There will be a chance for a Megaphone after the first instance clearance, lets wait and hear what he has to say. The yers seemed somewhat dispirited. Only after farming the level 5 instance did they realize how high the difficulty was and how far apart they were from Nemesis. Now that Nemesis had soloed a level 10 instance Forget it, leave the abnormality alone. The yers could only shake their heads. After three seconds, a familiar voice rang in the ears of all yers. Hello, everybody! I am Nemesis. I only have limited time, so Ill just say three things. First, I am the one who killed the siege boss in the beginner vige number six. When I was leveling up in Wolf King Valley, I saw the [Howling Moon Wolf King]. Since I had nothing better to do, I just killed it off. Su Yu paused here, giving the yers time to react. Upon hearing Su Yus words, the various areas where yers gathered fell eerily silent for a moment. Soon after, a deafening sound engulfed every corner of every beginner vige, almost driving the yers insane: What the hell? You killed the first Wolf King?! Are these the words of a human? What do you mean by killed off? Thats a siege boss! It has 140,000 health! Yeah! If I remember correctly, the [Howling Moon Wolf King] also has a dozen or so minions all of boss level! Just now in Sunny Wind Vige, the second Wolf King appeared, a boss that tens of thousands of people couldnt defend against, and you took care of it just like that? Impletely blown away by Nemesis. His overstated capabilities have busted all our expectations! I remember Nemesis doing a 1V1OO the other day, now he could probably do 1V1OOOO? The yers werepletely stunned. Many were frozen on the spot, barely daring to believe their ears. However, subconsciously, they were telling themselves that Nemesis probably didnt lie, that he actually was that powerful! Chapter 55 - 55: 55. Returning to Reality for the Second Time 1 Chapter 55: 55. Returning to Reality for the Second Time 1 Trantor: 549690339 yers were still immersed in a great shock. However, Su Yus voice echoed once more: The second matter I want to announce is that I n to establish a guild, called the Yellow Turban Army. Unlike the Relevant Department guild, our guild does not offer welfare subsidies. Instead, we operate on an equivalent exchange basis. You help me, I give you a satisfactory reward. If you want to join, you can; if you want to quit, you can at any time. Its that simple. In this battle against the [Howling Moon Wolf King], 40 level 10 green equipment, 10 level 10 blue equipment, 10 basic skill scrolls, 3 green-quality skill scrolls, and even 3 green-quality pet eggs were dropped. Excluding one pet egg and two basic skill scrolls that I will be keeping, the rest will be exchanged for guild members. Firste, first served! Upon hearing Su Yus words, yers looked at each other. So, the Nemesis Boss was also starting a guild? When they first heard no welfare subsidies, the majority of yers didnt pay it much attention. However, hearing about equivalent exchange, many yers showed interest. I like equivalent exchange! Now, leaving the guild wont be a burden, a yermented. Exactly, although joining Rted Department provides a 2000 subsidy, but theres no such thing as a free lunch. After taking the money, one would definitely feel obligated to participate in guild activities and hesitate to quit freely. The freedom offered by the Nemesis boss is better. yers were engaged in a flurry of discussion. By the end, when Su Yu mentioned the loot from the Wolf King, many yers were shocked. The Wolf King dropped so many things! Level 10 blue equipment! Green quality skill scrolls! Pet eggs! Anyone who obtains any one of these would instantly be one of the top one percent of yers. Many core members of therge guilds dont even have these! A number of yers were already interested, remembering the name Yellow Turban Army and nning to join immediately upon reaching level 10. The great items will guarantee them a spot in any guild, even if they leaveter! The total duration of advertising must be controlled within a minute. So, Su Yu quickly continued: The third matter is that I n to cooperate with the Emperor Blood Guild, and crack most of the questions posed by the boss of the Green Pasture instance, the Vige Chief, Ill post the answers to the official forum, as a free benefit to all yers! You can use this information to efficiently farm the instance, and get the equipment you desire. Really? Thats great! Thank you, Boss Nemesis! Upon hearing this, many yers were ecstatic. Defeating the Wolf King and establishing a guild were irrelevant to most yers, but this third matter was directly rted to everyone! Everyone can easily acquire the level 5 green equipment from the Vige Chief! For the majority of yers, this was great news!ln the yer base, praises for Nemesis were resounding. The three things announced by Su Yu were all major events for the yers. Soon after, these three topics moved from the game to online forums, then to various social apps. Anyone ying Evolution was involved in passionate discussions about these three matters. Red -Eyed ck Dragon had already used up his allocated game time, he was chatting with some teammates in a Q-group about this: Red -Eyed ck Dragon: The Nemesis Boss is also starting a guild? Sigh! If it werent for Emperor Blood pulling strings, I would want to try it out. Swift: Just try it out! Whats there to fear? Sky Dragon: Exactly! Brother Nemesis can even solo city bosses, following him will surely yield benefits! Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Sigh, Ive made up my mind. As a middle-aged man, I have a family to support, its impossible for me to take such a huge risk of moving guilds. I cant afford the million penalty fee! ( Giant God Soldier: Indeed! Emperor Blood does provide a lot. Giant God Soldier: By the way, Ive already coted the questions from the Vige Chief, should I post them in the forums now? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Post it now, Nemesis should be logging off soon considering the time. Sky Dragon: If you guys arent going, then Ill go by myself! The other three: Back in the game. After Su Yu exited the instance, he headed towards the general goods store. On the way, almost all the yers were discussing what he just announced. However, as he provided benefits for the yers, his poprity soared, and yers spoke of his name with more familiarity. After dropping off unneeded equipment and skill scrolls at the general store, Su Yu checked the earnings from yesterdays auctions. The [Fatal Strike] skill scroll that was listed yesterday had already been sold. The buyer was Emperor Blood ys the Sky, it sold for a total of 4900 spiritual energy coins! Truly worthy of being a super-rich second-generation, he spent so much money on a low-level skill scroll, Su Yu sighed. Todays exchange rate for spiritual energy coins slightly declined but was still maintained at around 1 coin for 17 Flower Coins. 4,899 spiritual energy coins, thats the equivalent of eighty thousand bucks! Only someone rich like Emperor Blood ys the Sky would be able to afford such a high price for a low-tier scroll. Other than the [Fatal Strike] scroll, the remaining [True Word Art.Shield] sold for 407 spiritual energy coins, [ck Iron Long Boots IV3 (Excellent)] sold for 115 spiritual energy coins. These were all small amounts, Su Yu didnt pay much heed and collected it all into his inventory. After a full 12 hours in the game, Su Yu logged out. Ding! Would you like to Manifest the strength obtained in-game into reality? Confirm! Arge amount of spiritual energy overflowed from the helmet once again and infused into Su Yus body. Even though he was a mage, Su Yu could feel his muscles swelling, filled with power. This feeling of increasing strength is indeed very addictive. After ten minutes, the infusion of spiritual energy waspleted. On top of his helmet appeared the temte of Su Yu in reality. yer: Su Yu Realm: Novice Mage Level: 10 Skills: [Magic Missile (Epic)], [Lightning Bolt (Epic)] [Lightning Shield (Epic)]. Spell Power: 53 Life Point: 170 Magic Point: 280 Equipment: [Vige Chiefs Staff Iv5] Props: [Intermediate Healing Potion] Hmm, the attributes are satisfactory, todays harvest met the expected targets. But now is not the time to rx. Su Yu stood up, stretched his waist and loosened his muscles in the rental house, while quietly reminding himself: Until the year before Skurus invasion, I cannot ck off even for a moment! After the warm-up, he casually ordered a takeaway, then opened the official forum. At this time, Giant God Soldier had already posted over 800 questions he had collected on the official forum. Many yers stuck to the thread, eagerly waiting for Su Yus answers, which had already exceeded 1000 replies. Su Yu wasnt dawdling either. He copied down the list of questions from Giant God Soldier, ording to his memory answered all 800+ questions in order, then started a separate thread posting the answers on the official forum. The official forum and the game were integrated, so Su Yu wasnt afraid that posting would expose his real information. After aplishing all this, Su Yu didnt pay attention to the replies on the forum. He could check the official forum when he had downtime while levelling tomorrow. He opened a search engine and began browsing local news in East Sea City. He wanted to see if he could find any traces of the ghosts existence in the news again.. Chapter 56 - 56: 56. Ghost on the Mountain Road 1 Chapter 56: 56. Ghost on the Mountain Road 1 Trantor: 549690339 8 0clock in the morning the next day. On a small hill on the west side of East Sea City, a deep brown bus was traveling along the mountain road. The bus was upied by more than twenty passengers, but it was very quiet. The passengers were either asleep or ying with their phones. Only the bus television located at the front was ying a film, emitting a faint sound. It was a seemingly ordinary scene. But if anyone were close to the drivers seat, they could see the bus drivers continuously changing and slightly distorted face through the reflection on the windows. His expressions changed quickly, alternativelyughing, angry, depressed, and calm it looked quite eerie. After a while, he tremblingly took out a cigarette from his shirt pocket, and without lighting it, ced it directly in his mouth. The cigarette quivered in sync with his changing expressions. The steward, Little Li, who was seated behind the driver, admonished him: Mr. Zhang, you know the rules, no smoking in the bus. I know. driver Mr. Zhang replied in a shaky, stuttering voice: I I just needed something for my nicotine craving. Mr. Zhang, you dont seem well today. Are you sick? sensing that something was amiss, Little Li stood up intending to check on Mr. Zhang. But just as he straightened up, he clearly saw Mr. Zhangs furious face reflected in the window. Mr. Zhang you! Little Li was stunned. But it was toote, driver Mr. Zhang abruptly jerked the steering wheel, causing the bus to make a near 120-degree turn, furiously heading towards the guardrail on the right side of the road! The iron guardrail on the right side of the road was less than half a meter high, beyond which there was a deep cliff of several tens of meters. And the bus was currently speeding. If the bus were to crash through the guardrail at high speed and tumble down the cliff due to inertia, none of the passengers would survive! Steward Little Li was petrified. What is Mr. Zhang doing? Does he want to drag everyone on the bus with him to death? Has he lost his mind? Moreover, due to the sudden turn, the bus lurched violently. Many of the passengers, looking towards the front in terror, were at a loss for what to do. No passenger was mentally prepared for the impending cmity. But at this critical moment, a robust figure shot out from the middle of the bus like an arrow. In a mere instant, he was by the side of the drivers seat, pulling the steering wheel in the opposite direction. Screech The tires skidded on the surface of the road, producing a strident screeching sound. The bus carved a massive S trajectory on the winding mountain road. Additionally, the bus engine was prated by a lightning bolt from nowhere, causing the bus to halt as it crashed against the guardrails. All the people on the bus were spared. Mr. Zhangs n had failed. He jerked the steering wheel hard and stomped on the elerator, wanting to ram the bus into the cliff again. But to his surprise, he found that despite his full strength, the steering wheel did not budge, and the elerator had no response. Could it be that the strength of his two hands was less than the strength of this young mans single hand? Who are you? A vengeful countenance on his face, a massive amount of ck mist emitting from his eyes, ears, and nose, Mr. Zhang demanded, Dont you know you can get arrested for obstructing the driver? But when he looked at the young man, he found that he was wearing a mask of Ultraman Tiga, making it impossible to see his real face. This young man was, of course, Su Yu. Throughst nights news, he remembered a gruesome incident from his previous life. The incident had caused the deaths of more than 400 people and was considered one of the most significant ghost-rted cases in the early days. And the entire incident originated today. Hence, Su Yu traced the source and found the starting point of the incident, this very bus, and timely prevented the tragedy of the bus plunging into the cliff. As for the Ultraman Tiga mask, he swiped it from the shelf of the supermarket downstairs, causing the supermarket owner to rece a set of CCTV cameras. Looking at Mr. Zhang, who was possessed by a ghost, there was a faint smile on Su Yus face behind the mask: Hello, driver, I am Ultraman Tiga. Su Yu used his free right hand to gesture a salute: Mercy to all living beings! For I see mischief in your heart, today I, Ultraman Tiga on behalf of the Buddha, am here to help you transcend! Saying this, Su Yus hand was filled with arge amount of electricity. Lightning was the perfect counter against evil spirits. Zap! Crack! Driver Mr. Zhang was electrocuted to the point his entire body was charred and trembling. Nevertheless, during Su Yus shock therapy, the ghost possessing him was swiftly eliminated and dissipated into a wisp of smoke. Ding! Youve killed a Soul Controlling Ghost Iv8 and gained 640 Experience Points. Su Yu was now at level 10, so killing a level 8 ghost reduced the experience gained by 20%, from 800 points decreasing to 640 points. If Su Yu were level 18 now, killing the Soul Controlling Ghost would basically give next to no experience points. However, Su Yu did not pay heed to these meager experience points, the real boss was still waiting ahead! Because the bus made a sharp turn and crashed into the guardrails, the interior of the bus was in chaos. Some passengers were left with bleeding wounds, and began to curse: How are you driving this bus? Did the engine stall? Hey young man up front! What the hell are you doing? Dont interfere with the driver! If something happens, will you take responsibility? Steward Little Li was pale, with cold sweat flowing down his back, and his lips were trembling so much that he couldnt speak. He was the only one who saw Mr. Zhangs actions. It seemed that the young man wearing the Ultraman Tiga mask saved everyone at the most critical moment? The whole scene was like something out of a TV Show! But Su Yu ignored the noise behind him. Before the bus even came to aplete stop, he used lightning to break the door, and leapt off the bus. Young man, you Little Li stretched out his hand, but was at a loss for words. No need to worry about me, just call the police quickly! Without turning his head, Su Yu jumped over the guardrail and descended the cliff. Wow! Someone jumped off the cliff! Call the police quickly, someone has died! The bus was in total chaos. Beside Su Yu jumping off the cliff, many people saw the burnt state of driver Mr. Zhang, screaming in horror. But none of this concerned Su Yu anymore. Having jumped off the cliff and then teleporting to the ground in thest second using the sh Skill, Su Yu made a suavending in the valley. Right before him was a forest surrounded by a haze of darkness and filled with ghostly images. The Soul Controlling Ghost he had just killed was merely ackey; the real masterminds had taken refuge in this forest, eight ghosts in all. ording to the assessment made by a panel of experts from his previous life, that Soul Controlling Ghost had seized control of the driver, and by making the bus plunge off the cliff, the passengers became the food for the ghosts. These ghostster went on a crime spree. After feasting on a few more meals, they posed as passengers and drove a bus straight into the East Sea Bus Station! The East Sea Bus Station was turned into a river of blood, culminating into the death of 400 people, shocking the entire country! The haunted forest in front of him was harboring the entire criminal syndicate of ghosts. Ive found you! A smirk could be seen on Su Yus face behind the mask.. Chapter 57 - 57: 57, Kill the phantom army, level up to 11 1 Chapter 57: Kill the phantom army, level up to 11 1 Trantor: 549690339 The ghosts in the woods didnt know it was Su Yu who had killed theirpanions. They could sense Su Yus presence and the blooming spiritual energy around him, and just like sharks sniffing blood in the water, they rushed out from the woods. One, two, three In no time, a total of 18 ghosts emerges! Suddenly, the sky above the forest was clouded by ck mist. The starving ghosts pounced on Su Yu. Eating Su Yu, who was full of spiritual energy, was much more beneficial than eating an entire flock of ordinary people, and no ghost wanted to miss this opportunity! Moreover. there was a crimson-colored ghost measuring 2.5 meters in length following the 18 ghosts. It tightly stared at Su Yu with its red eyes, transforming into a crimson light curtain, and pounced on him from the side. Not good! Miscalcted! Su Yus face underwent a dramatic change. ording to the news reports from the previous world, there were only eight ghosts! How did it suddenly be 19? And among them, theres a red first-order ghost, how is that possible?! The Skuru people ssified the ghosts into seven tiers C red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and, violet ording to the principle of light dispersion. The red ones were the first-order ghosts. If Su Yu knew there was a first-order ghost leading a team of 19 ghosts here, he wouldnt dare to approach them even under threat of death, considering his cautious nature. But now Thats not right! Su Yu pondered: In my memory, the Skuru hadnt manufactured any first-order ghost during the first week following the drastic change in the previous world. Why is it that on the third day in this world, theres one already? Did something go wrong? However, Su Yu didnt have time to ponder these things. After using the sh Skill to avoid the ghosts encirclement, Su Yu started counterattacking them. A huge bolt of lightning flew from Su Yus hand and connected to six of the ghosts. Boom, boom, boom, boom! The six ghosts didnt even have time to react before they exploded into six clouds of ck fog. After Su Yus [sh Chain] had leveled up, it could attack six targets at once, instead of four. Thus, with just one move, he instantly killed six zero-tier ghosts! The surrounding ghosts were stunned, they hadnt expected Su Yus spell power to be so great! However, they only paused for a brief moment, before rushing at Su Yu again. Thick ck fog heavily surrounded Su Yu. [Frost Shield] ! Solid ice crystals enveloped Su Yu protecting him against the external attacks of the ghosts. The ghosts attacks hit the [Frost Shield], only creating cracking noises but unable to harm Su Yu at all. Seeing this, the blood-red ghost brought its hands together and started casting a spell. A blood-colored beam shot from its fingertips and connected to Su Yu. At the same time, Su Yu felt a rush of overwhelming drowsiness, so strong that he almost closed his eyes and fell asleep. Greatly rmed, Su Yu bit down hard on his lips. The smell of fresh blood filled his mouth and along with the intense pain, it helped him regain full consciousness. [Earth Stab]! A tremendous stgmite shot up from under the red ghost, causing it to fly up into the sky, interrupting its hypnotic beam. The [Earth Stab] was a zero-tier Earth spell with low damage, but it could knock back enemies with great control effects. After leveling up to epic quality, the red ghost not only fell back to the ground but also entered a [Dizziness] state for 1 second, losing all itsbat power. Su Yu perfectly understood the strategy of capturing the ringleader first to catch the followers. While the red ghost was restrained, he used [Frost Nova] to freeze the surrounding zero-tier ghosts, performed his final sh Skill to escape the encirclement, and then continuouslyunched [Lightning Bolts] at the red ghosts body. Crack! Crack! Crack! Lightning as thick as a babys arm was continually released from Su Yus hands. The red ghosts defense wasnt high; three [Lightning Bolts] coupled with the damage from [Earth Stab], turned its body into a cloud of blood. The other ghosts were dumbfounded at this sight, not expecting their boss to be defeated so easily! After escaping the control of [Frost Nova], they stopped attacking Su Yu and began to flee in all directions. Of course, Su Yu wouldnt let them go. [sh Chain], [Lightning Bolt] released consecutively, none of the ghosts could escape Su Yus range, all being killed! What seemed to be a one sided battle was turned around by Su Yu, and it was the ghosts who ended up being crushed. That was close! That was really a near miss! If I had fallen asleep earlier, I would have been done for. After killing all the ghosts, Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a bitter smile: Its a good thing I have so many powerful skills; otherwise, it would have been hard to deal with these ghosts But then again, why are there so many ghosts here? Its not like this in my past life! Looking at his mana, it has dropped to less than a third. Ill have to be more careful next time. Su Yu shook his head and sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy released by the dead ghosts. Ding! You have killed a [Soul Controlling Ghost Iv8] and gained 640 points of experience. Ding! You have killed a [Revival Ghost IV9] and gained 810 points of experience. Ding! You have killed a [Hypnotizing Ghost IV13] and gained 1600 points of experience. Ding! Congrattions, your level has increased to 11. After absorbing the burst out spiritual energy, Su Yu storms around his body, reaching level 11! This saved him at least two hours of game leveling time. Of course, saving time is secondary. Being able to save over four hundred fresh lives from the hands of the ghosts, he felt it was worth more than anything! However, this kind of thing will still happen in every corner of the world. I can save some people, but many more will still die in the mouth of ghosts. Unless I can make the Ghost Searching Ruler in advance? Hehe, how is that possible? Su Yu shook his head and put this unrealistic idea behind him. The Ghost Searching Ruler was a major weapon used by the government in his previous life to deal with ghosts. Wherever the Ghost Searching Ruler went, the ghosts were wiped out like cutting melons and vegetables. But the production of the Ghost Searching Ruler at least requires the aid of a small scale spiritual spring eye. Even in his past life, it wasnt until 8 monthster when the Huaxia Nation had spare no effort to snatch back the first small scale spiritual spring eye from the Skuru and developed the Ghost Searching Ruler , which effectively contained the number of ghosts nationwide. The Ghost Searching Ruler is not hopeful in the short term, I can only hope that the government can detect the harm of the ghosts early. Su Yu stood up, dusted off the dirt on his body and walked towards where the red ghost had died. Now let me see what happened? How could a first-order ghost appear so early? Su Yu activated his magic and began to search for memory fragments of the red ghost. After the second level, the Priest ss will learn a signature skill called [Mental Theft] which can search for memory fragments of ghosts to know the whole process of their creation. The Mage ss also has a simr spell called [Soul Search] which can achieve a simr effect. Su Yu does not know [Soul Search], but he did in his previous life! He still remembers a lot of the principles of the [Soul Search] spell. Although he cant know theplete process of ghost production like in his previous life, he can still retrieve some key information. Su Yu closed his eyes and started to cast the spell. 5 minutester, the soul search ended. But at this moment, Su Yus face changed dramatically, he blurted out in disbelief: Fuck! Is this real or fake?! Chapter 58 - 58: 58. Traces of Skuru people, looking for two Skuru warriors 1 Chapter 58: 58. Traces of Skuru people, looking for two Skuru warriors 1 Trantor: 549690339 From the soul fragments of the Red Ghost, Su Yu extracted much useful information. Firstly, the Red Ghost was created using the energy from the Spiritual Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain, the same Spring Eye from which Su Yu had previously drawn a hundred billion units of spiritual energy using his helmet. Yunlu Mountain was very close to the woond where Su Yu was located, just 10 kilometers away. As soon as the Red Ghost was created, it was unleashed there. Secondly, when the Red Ghost was born, it overheard an argument between a male and a female Skru. In his past life, Su Yu had had some contact with anti-government organizations on Skru Star and he had a basic understanding of the Skrunguage. From thenguage of their argument, he could tell that the male was a Skrumander and the female was his deputy. The primary subject of their argument was the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain. The Spiritual Energy output of the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain had been greatly affected by Su Yu and after 24 hours had only recovered about one tenth of its normal capacity. It would likely take ten days to return to its full state. The male Skrumander was more cautious. Since he had not received any orders from his superior, he nned to do nothing. However, the female deputy was more assertive, insisting on taking some action, and she repeatedly mentioned the term Mu Yun Company. Mu Yun Company was thepany where Su Yu worked. Unfortunately, the female deputy was speaking in a strange dialect, and apart from the term Mu Yun Company, Su Yu couldnt understand anything else she said. In the end, they reached a consensus and decided to follow the female deputys n. Of course, these arguments were not enough to make Su Yu swear. What truly shocked Su Yu was the Red Ghosts memory of yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, a male and female Skru warrior appeared in the woods right below Su Yu, and the Red Ghost had even waved to them as a greeting. From the conversation between the two Skru warriors, Su Yu learned that they were nning to go to Mu Yun Company on a secret mission. This image shocked Su Yu immensely! The reason for Su Yus shock has to do with the game rules set by the Singer Civilization. The Singer Civilization, ording to its own game rules, provided protection for weaker civilizations. The actions of the Skru in upying the Spring Eye and setting up a base were akin to bending the rules. The Singer Civilization turned a blind eye to this, tacitly approving the Skrus actions. However, there were two red lines in these game rules that the Skru people could not vite: During this year, the Skru were not allowed to leave the vicinity of the Spiritual Spring Eye. The Skru could not kill Blue Star Humans directly unless the Blue Star Humans infiltrated the Spring Eye or attacked the Skru troops inside the Spring Eye using remote means. These two red lines touched on the authority of the Singer Civilization and the Skru did not dare to cross them lightly. In the first year of the great changes in his previous life, not a single Skru had left the Spring Eye. Not a single one! Yet in this life, he had found images of the Skru leaving from the memory fragments of the Red Ghost! How could he not be shocked by this? The Skru have left the Spring Eye?! This is a serious matter! The wind whistled through the woods, causing Su Yus clothes to flutter, but he was lost in thought. Su Yu didnt know how to handle this situation. There was no precedent to refer to from his past life. Report to the Singer Civilizations monitor? No. Memory fragments couldnt be preserved for a long time and couldnt be used as evidence. Report to the government? That wouldnt work either. Su Yu didnt want to reveal his real identity this early. Go to Mu Yun Company to search for those two Skru warriors? Hmm, I can do that. Su Yu, touching his chin, nodded, I happen to have an appointment with Mr. Wang at 9 0clock in the morning to process my resignation. Maybe I can take this opportunity to find the two Skru warriors. The two Skru warriors carrying out the mission were both of the first rank. The female didnt carry any weapons, while the male was equipped with aser gun. But Su Yu wasnt worried that these two would dare to attack him. If they dared to make a move, they would be done for! With that thought, Su Yu left the woods, nning to return to the city. The bus attendant, Xiao Li, was leaning over the guardrail, carefully looking below, but because of the distance, he didnt see the process of Su Yus fight with the ghost. At 9:30 in the morning. Mu Yun Building, first floor sales department office. Little Su, you can sign here. Department manager, Old Wang, looked at Su Yu, who was signing his resignation letter, with a look of reluctance: Are you sure you wont reconsider? If its about the sry issue, I can talk to President Li for you No need, Brother Wang, Ive made up my mind. Su Yu signed the resignation letter and pushed it to him: But before I leave thepany, I have a small request. I wonder if you could grant it? What kind of request? A look of caution shed across Old Wangs face: Youre not nning to take those rich female clients with you, are you? Even if you are no longer here, I wont let them go easily. Brother Wang, you misunderstand. Su Yu interrupted him with a smile: Ive been working here for a year. But in this year, Ive only been in the sales department on the first floor. Ive hardly been to the other departments on the upper floors. I was hoping to take thisst chance to visit and have a look around the other departments. I thought it was something important. Old Wang clearly breathed a sigh of relief: You go ahead. If anyone from the other departments asks, just tell them I sent you. Thank you, Brother Wang. Su Yu stood up and bowed slightly to Old Wang, then took his resignation letter and left the meeting room. After leaving the sales department lobby, Su made no move to hurry. He first ced his hand against the wall on the first floor. Arge current flowed out, rapidly traveling along the wall towards the surveince room on the same floor. Crack! A crisp burst of noise. The entire buildings surveince system waspletely down. If the Blue Star government were to give Su Yu a title, it would probably be Camera Destroyer. After doing this, Su Yu began searching for traces of the Skru, floor by floor. The Skru have green skin and their appearances and body types differ significantly from Blue Star Humans. However, each Skru individual possesses a natural talent for disguise. Skru can easily disguise themselves as humans, even to the point of looking exactly like a target human! When a Skru disguises themselves as a target human, apart from that persons close friends and rtives, its almost impossible to ascertain their real identity! The Singer Civilization once gave the Skru a particr appraisal: natural spies, referring to their ability in this regard. Although the Skrus skill at disguise was advanced and mysterious, Su Yu was still confident that he could find them. The reason was simple: Spiritual Energy. The awakening of Spiritual Energy on the Blue Star had just begun, and normal Blue Star Humans shouldnt possess any spiritual energy. If Su Yu detected spiritual energy on someone, that person was either a revived ancient being or a Skru warrior. Revived ancient beings definitely wouldnt still work in this lousypany. Therefore, if he found someone carrying spiritual energy, it was 100% a Skru warrior. Based on this simple reasoning, Su Yu began his careful search throughout the entire building.. Chapter 59 - 59: 59. The plan of Skuru Number One’s first attack team 1 Chapter 59: 59. The n of Skuru Number Ones first attack team 1 Trantor: 549690339 Second floor office areano one. Tea roomno one. Mens restroomno one. Womens restroomlets go in and check. Su Yu found a secluded spot to activate [Invisibility Skill] and boldly ventured inside. Two minutester, Su Yu emerged: No one there either. But Su Yu wasnt discouraged, he continued to search throughout the building. Passing by each departments office area, Su Yus gaze quickly scanned over every person, fleeting yet swift. Many female staff members noticed Su Yu and their eyes lit up: Huh? Whos that coworker? Ive never seen him before. I think its Su Yu from sales. What is he doing here? Has he been transferred to our department? Hey, youre Su Yu right? What brings you here? Several female colleagues stood up to greet Su Yu. But Su Yus pace didnt slow, his gaze flit across their faces and he quickly walked away without a backward nce. Thedies were disheartened by his indifference; some were even a bit annoyed: Tch! He wouldnt know ss even if it hit him. He cant even spare a nce for me. Serves him right for being single! Of course, they only grumbled quietly to themselves and didnt actually voice it out loud. As for the male office workers, they were all as busy as bees, having no time to pay attention to Su Yu. When Su Yu reached the fourth floor, a minor hitch urred. Su Yus [Invisibility Skill] had a cooldown period. As he was rushing, he failed to cast his spell before entering the womens restroom, which led to an unexpected incident. You pervert! Cant you see this is thedies restroom? A furious middle-aged woman shooed him out of the restroom. Im sorry, maam, Su Yu quickly apologized, I was distracted and walked into the wrong room. Walked into the wrong room? The middle-aged woman was incredulous: I watched you for over a minute in there, who walks into the wrong restroom and doesnt leave immediately? Out with it! Whats your real motive!? Err, actually, an idea came to Su Yu, I was sent by our department manager, Wang Chongyang. You can ask him if you dont believe me! Wang Chongyang? The woman was still skeptical: Isnt he the sales manager? Why would he send you to the womens restroom? Isnt he about to be transferred to the property managementpany? Wang asked me to inspect the building for any cracks on the wall. I had no choice but toply. Su Yu gave a forcedugh. Oh, I see. The middle-aged woman seemed somewhat convinced: Dont do it again! Understood, understood. Su Yu beat a hasty retreat. Continuing his search floor by floor. Finally, on the ninth floor in the IT departments office area, Su Yu found his target. A skinny, terribly inexperienced girl, in in appearance and wearing sses, was currently fixated on herputer screen, typing away at her keyboard. Finally found you! A glimpse of smile appeared on Su Yus face, he could sense the trace of spiritual energy from her. Su Yu walked up to her, and tenderly wrapped his arm around the girls neck from behind, whispering into her ear, Miss me? His actions immediately caught the attention of many surrounding people. Most of the IT department was male, only a small portion was female. Upon seeing this scene, the women became excited and started gossiping: Who wouldve thought Ava already had a boyfriend! And her boyfriend is so handsome! Im so jealous! I hope I can find a boyfriend as handsome as him. They huddled together and chatted. The girl referred to as Ava appeared shocked, caught off guard: Thats not right! I mimicked her memories when I took this girls form, she doesnt have a boyfriend! This was the Skuru female soldier who was out on a mission, Su Yus sudden action disrupted her entire n. She was about to say something. At that moment, a clear sentence in Skuru echoed in her ear: I am the inspector from the 026 advance army inspection group. I detected you leaving the Spiritual Spring Eye without permission. I need an exnation! Su Yu was proficient in Skurunguage. In his previous life, due to survival pressure, many people learned Skurunguage from the Skuru rebel organization. Moreover, Su Yu usedmon vocabry, so his pronunciation was precise and extremely fluent. The Skuru female soldier was taken aback and froze. She had just been dispatched for a mission, how could the Inspection group arrive so fast? The Inspection group was a sword hanging over the heads of all vanguard teams, not even themander dared to defy their will. Moreover, she never considered the possibility that Su Yu could be a Blue Star human in disguise, she hurried into an exnation: Inspector, the situation is like this.. The Skuru female soldier didnt hold back anything, she whispered the reasons why she was sent on the mission. Su Yu didnt interrupt and patiently listened. The female soldier spoke for roughly three minutes. Only after she finished did Su Yu understand what was really going on. The root of the issue stems from Yunlu Mountains Spring Eye. The energy injection from Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye fell short of the standard and was not enough, this worried themander and his lieutenant of the first vanguard team. Insufficient energy means they cantplete the assigned tasks on time, leading to severe penalties. Although the root cause was beyond their control, ording to military discipline, they would still face heavy penalties, their positions could even be at risk! The malemander of the vanguard team decided to y it safe and do nothing. His female deputy disagreed. The female lieutenant believed they should find a solution, using merit to offset the penalty. Hence, she devised two ns for a two-pronged approach: The first n, to overdraw the energy from the Spring Eye to spawn a first order specter and eighteen zero-order specters. These specters would hijack buses to simultaneously attack multiple bus stations, killing thousands to instill panic, thereby achieving a significant merit. The second n, to dispatch two subordinates to infiltrate Mu Yun Company and obtain two important thingsthe algorithm of Mu Yun Company and its user data. Where Su Yu worked, Mu Yun Company, was a leading inte tform. Normally, thepany exploited its delivery riders with the algorithm, forcing them to run red lights, asionally promoting hospitals affiliated with them,peting with local market vendors for business. However, thepanys algorithm was indeed top-notch and industry-leading! If Skuru people got hold of this algorithm, they could analyze Chinas techpany capabilities; With ess to the massive user data, they would be able to extrapte a plethora of useful information. If these two Skuru soldiers sessfullypleted the mission, then the merit achieved by First Vanguard Team would be substantial enough to offset the demerits. As for leaving the Spiritual Spring Eye and viting the game rules set by The Singer, the lieutenant was not worried. After all, barely three days had passed since the Great Change, the ordinary surveince methods of humans were ineffective against them, and the effective means of surveince hadnt been developed yet, so their n wouldnt be detected by the humans of Blue Star. Everything happened as she expected, the two soldiers sessfully infiltrated into Mu Yun Company smoothly. The government of Blue Star was oblivious. That was until Su Yu got involved.. Chapter 60 - 60: 60, Killing Skuru warriors, the punishment descended by Singer Civilization_l Chapter 60: Killing Skuru warriors, the punishment descended by Singer Civilization_l Trantor: 549690339 This must be the Butterfly Effect after rebirth. Su Yu thought to himself. Things that hadnt happened in his previous life now urred because of his rebirth! Su Yu used the helmet to absorb most of the spiritual energy in the Spring Eye Spiritual Energy scarcity in Yunlu Mountains Spring Eye Skuru Commander took a risk to avoid punishment First stage ghost appeared early, and the two Skuru soldiers who werent supposed to leave, left the Spring Eye. Everything seemed logical, but things had already diverged from the rightful track. However, Su Yu did not have time to ponder, he had to address this situation quickly. How much of your task have youpleted? Su Yu asked sternly. Weve just started, it will at least take half a day toplete. And yourpanion? In the CEOs office, sir. Finish your task now and return to the Spring Eye immediately! But No buts, do it! Understood, sir. But mypanion Leave him alone, you go back first. Alright. Since the supervisor had given the order, the Skuru female soldier had to put down her task and return to the Spring Eye. Su Yu watched her leave the intelligence department and take the elevator downstairs. He didnt choose to kill her. He couldve, but with so many witnesses, killing a Skuru here would expose himpletely to the governments gaze. But the Skuru soldier in the CEOs office Su Yu not only wanted to kill him, but also greatly so! If the Skuru dare to leave the Spiritual Spring Eye, they must be prepared to pay the price! As long as that Skuru soldier was killed, the fact that a Skuru person left the Spiritual Spring Eye without authorization would be irrefutable. The Singer Civilization would definitely impose severe punishment on the Skuru due to image considerations! Of course, the condition was to make sure his identity was not exposed. Thinking of this, Su Yu shed into the womens restroom. He entered the restroom to find a secluded ce to release [Invisibility Skill]. Unable to help it, the intelligence department was filled with too many men and few women, and the womens restroom had be the best ce to release [Invisibility Skill]. Fortunately, the womens restroom was empty. Three secondster, Su Yu, under the effect of [Invisibility Skill], left the intelligence department and took the elevator to the CEOs office on the 19th floor of the building. The 19th floor was arge open floor, with a rooftop garden in the center, the CEOs office on the east side, and the deputy CEOs office on the west. The CEO wasnt there, nor were his bodyguards, only a few janitors were cleaning the walls in the corridor. Walking in the corridor, through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the garden, Su Yu saw that there was only one figure in the CEOs office a secretary-like young man was collecting data. In thest few seconds of [Invisibility Skill], Su Yu arrived at the CEOs office door. Click! Arge amount of electricity surged out, directly destroying the password lock. Su Yu kicked open the door and used [sh Skill] to burst in. In an instant, he was next to the CEOs secretary. This CEOs secretary radiated a faint spiritual energy, and he was definitely a Skuru! Without wasting words, Su Yu directly channeled the long-gathered thunder into his palm. His only thought was to kill him! This Skuru was, after all, a trained soldier. The moment Su Yu released [sh Skill], he had already reacted. He reached into his suit and pulled out a semi-transparent ball, crushed it forcefully, and a translucent grey protective field encased him. Su Yus lightning bolt mmed into the force field. Boom! A massive explosion! Su Yus body was thrown off, and the Skuru warriors defense barrier was burned a huge hole by the massive current. Yet Su Yu was quick; he utilized his second sh Skill to close the distance rapidly. A massive amount of lightning was poured into the burnt hole. Though a mage is meant for long-rangebat, Su Yu even exhibited a closebat mage style under his control! The Skuru warrior was shocked. He had never anticipated Su Yu could pierce his defense with one strike and closed the distance instantly! In the perilous moment where life hung by a thread, he disregarded the rule cannot proactively attack Blue Star Humans, hastily drew aser gun from his waist and fired at Su Yu. Hum Theser was fired from the gun, instantly piercing through several walls behind Su Yu. Yet theser didnt harm Su Yu, who didnt even use [sh Skill]. He simply sidestepped and easily dodged. Simultaneously, a contemptuous voice resonated near the Skuru warriors ear, Sun-36 typeser gun of the Raging Sun Empire? Wielding such junk, seems like youre not valued in the first strike team. The voice spoke perfect Skuru, throwing the Skuru warrior into a panic. Who exactly was this enemy? Wasnt he a Blue Star Human? Why could he speak Skuru? But he was too exhausted to raise the question. Su Yus second [Lightning Bolt], morphed into gigantic electrical arcs, hit him and wreaked havoc within him. He lost sensation in most of his body. Moreover, Su Yu always preferred to take ones life when ill. He did not hold back, with [Lightning Bolts] shooting out one after another, until he had confirmed the kill. Su Yu had considered sparing one for the Chinese government, but, considering the Skurus excellent disguise abilities, he decided to kill him instead. The cleaningdies in the hallway, upon hearing the noises from the CEOs office, began to chatter curiously. What was that noise? Was it a short circuit? Lets go check it out. They strode towards the CEOs office. At this point, the Skuru warrior had already been killed. Su Yu didnt give it much thought; he took the Skuru warriorsser gun, ran to the window, broke the ss, and jumped down from the 19th floor. In mid-air, Su Yu didnt forget to put on his Ultraman mask. The rushing winds resonated by his ears, as Su Yu descended rapidly from the sky. However, Su Yu wasnt worried about plunging to his death; he was holding his third [sh Skill] firmly in his hand. Swoosh! A sh of white light blinked past as he was about tond, and Su Yu stood firmly on the solid cement ground. What Su Yu didnt know was that about 5 seconds after the Skuru warrior fired theser gun at him, in the skies above Yunlu Mountain, arge space crack opened up. From the space crack, a vast collection of star-like blue energy hammered downwards, directly striking the Skuru fleet below. Boom! The several dozen Skuru ships had no resistance against the blue energy and instantly disintegrated! Simultaneously, the other 3731 Skuru advance teams around the world received a stern warning: We detected some of you have left the Spiritual Spring Eye without permission, evenunching an attack on Blue Star Humans outside the Spiritual Spring Eye. This has severely breached our mutual desire for peace and joint development. It is not consistent with the noble ideals of harmony and coexistence among civilizations As punishment, the Skuru army in Spring Eye No.l has been eliminated, and the Spring Eye will be under the control of Blue Star Humans for a year. If simr incidents happen again, we will consider revoking the invasion rights of the Skuru! Chapter 61 - 61: 61, Return to the Game _1 Chapter 61: Return to the Game _1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon receiving this warning, all the attack teams, except for the second attack team, who seemed to take pleasure in the misfortune, fell silent. The faces of the fleetmanders were gloomy as they quietly awaited orders from their superiors. About 5 minutester, they received a message from the generalmand. It was a voice filled with urgency and frustration: Everyone is to carry out their tasks as per the original n. Warning, no one is to cross the designated red line! Warning, no one is to cross the designated red line! Warning The generalmand was extremely angry and repeated the warning three times. They could not believe that the reckless actions of the subordinate attack squads had cost them their most significant spring eye and could potentially impact the entire battle situation! However, they had no other choice. The first attack squad was already history, they could only restrict the power of themanding officers of the subordinate attack team and prevent them from overstepping their boundaries. Meanwhile, Commissioner Zhang of the Southeast Military Region Command also received a message from the Singer Civilizations monitoring envoy. The content of this message was identical to what the Skuru attack team had received. After reading it, Commissioner Zhang had an incredulous look on his face: The Skuru crossed the red line? The spring eye at Yunlu Mountain is ours now? Commissioner Zhangs brow rxed, and he even allowed a faint smile to decorate his face. This was by far the best news he had received! The spring eye of Yunlu Mountain was thergest spiritual spring eye in the world, and if used properly, it would undoubtedly be a godsend for the Blue Star Humans! But Why did the Skuru cross the red line? And who is this Blue Star Human that they attacked? Commissioner Zhang supported his chin and fell into contemtion. After a while Forget it, stop thinking, let that youngster Zhong Feng investigate. I have to give him a higher budget, send more people, perhaps even let Wen Li join Commissioner Zhang got up and headed for the department where Zhong Feng was located. Time rewinds to five minutes ago. At this moment, Su Yu released the [sh Skill] and stood steadily on the ground. However, there was no sign of relief on his face; instead, he looked seriously towards the south. I miscalcted! muttered Su Yu to himself. Because as he was using the Leap of Faith to jump from the 19th floor, he saw a girl in the southern street raising her mobile phone towards him! If his figure was captured by the girl Su Yu didnt dare to think further and hurriedly rushed towards the girls location. More than a minuteter, Su Yu arrived at where the girl had been, looking helpless. The street was empty, and the girl was nowhere to be found. As Su Yu didnt know any tracking spells, there were no means to find this girl. This could be troublesome! Su Yuined, feeling a headache. If the girl took his photo, the relevant departments could use big dataparison with the photo to easily identify him, even if he wore a mask. I can only hope that the girl will not casually disseminate the photo or video on the inte. Su Yu sighed lightly. However, I must take some precautions in case the relevant departments doe knocking. said Su Yu. Shaking his head slightly, Su Yu left the street and returned to his rented house. Once back in his rented house Su Yu put the seized Sun-36 typeser gun at the head of his bed. It was a silverser gun that significantly differed in body and muzzle from a regr bullet gun. Theser gun did not have a bullet clip, only a small LED disy at the end of the barrel that showed the remaining energy of the weapon. He deftly turned on the energy control switch. The disy showed that the remaining energy was 95%, which would probably allow for 19 moreser beam shots. Upon seeing this, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. With thisser gun, his current self-defense capability has significantly improved. The current time was 10:10 in the morning, when it was time to y the game online. But he did not rush to log in. Before logging in, he must be fully prepared for the possibility of various departmentsing knocking. Su Yu stood in front of the security door of his rented house, operating his magic power, and began to inscribe a magic circle on the door. What he inscribed was a zero-order magic circle, called [rm Magic Array]. The function of the [rm Magic Array] is simple: If someone outside contacts the security door, the magic array on the door will automatically send an rm to Su Yu. This way, he could avoid awkward situations of people breaking in and shouting FBI! Open the door! while he was in the game. Buzz! Afterpleting the inscription, the magic circle exploded with a burst of magic and spiritual light, and automatically started operating. Su Yu sighed in relief,y on the bed, wore his helmet, and entered the game. Once in the game, Su Yus figure appeared in the warehouse in the novice vige. Now Su Yu is already at level 11, so its about time he went to the main city. But before that. Su Yu first opened the auction interface of the warehouse, searched for mage-rted skill scrolls within, intending toplete the zero-level spells of the mage. Among the zero-level spells of the mages profession, besidesmon spells like [sh Skill] and [Invisibility Skill], there are eight in total. [Lightning Bolt] and [Lightning Shield] which is of the electrical series; [Fireball Skill] and [Fire Shield], which are of the fire series; [Ice Arrow] and [Frost Shield] which are part of the ice series; [Earth Stab] and [Earth Shield] of the earth series. I wont say much about the four series of attack skills. The defensive skills of the four series share cooldown time (CD), but each has its own beauty. [Frost Shield] can slow down melee monsters who are hit; [Fire Shield] can scorch all monsters within 5m; [Lightning Shield] can improve magic resistance; [Earth Shield] can enhance physical defense. Each one has its own uses, so its necessary to learn them all. So Su Yu searched on the auction interface and chose the cheapest [Fire Shield] and [Earth Shield], learned and upgraded them to epic status. Ding, please confirm the enhancement direction of [Fire Shield]: 1, [Resistance]: when cast, all enemies within 2m are repelled to a distance of 2m; 2, [Wild mes]: burn damage increased by 50%. Choose 1. Ding, please confirm the reinforcement direction of [Earth Shield]: 1, [Overwhelming Pressure]: convert all shield values to damage targets and stun them for 3 seconds; 2, [Steadfast as a Rock]: The physical damage you receive is reduced by 30%. Choose.2. [Overwhelming Pressure] did catch Su Yus attention. But on second thought, the shield value of [Earth Shield] was only 400% of the spells power, which isnt much different from the damage of [Lightning Bolt]. As for the stunning effect for 3 seconds, it can cause a good control effect on the enemy, but the cost is that there was no shield for 1 minute, and Su Yu couldnt ept this naked state, so he chose 2. After strengthening his skills, Su Yu came out of the warehouse, ready to find the vige head and take a carriage to the main city. But at this moment, he received a private message from Red-Eyed ck Dragon. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Good morning, Nemesis! (rx:) Su Yu: You sent the wrong emoji, didnt you? Why are you crying? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Sigh! When it rains, it pours. There are some things that cant be Su Yu: Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Our teams Sky Dragon insists on joining your guild. No matter how we tried to persuade her, it was no use.. Are you willing to amodate her? Chapter 62 - 62: The Current Situation of the Goldfinch Empire_l Chapter 62: The Current Situation of the Goldfinch Empire_l Trantor: 549690339 What? The Sky Dragon wants to join my guild? Su Yu was taken aback. Su Yu, of course, knew who this little girl called Sky Dragon was. She was Emperor Blood ys the Skys cousin, 14 years old, and her family was extremely, extremely(omit 98 extremely)wealthy. After entering the game, Emperor Blood ys the Sky didnt y with her but instead handed her over to the Red -Eyed ck Dragon team. Sky Dragon proved herself by maximizing her financial prowess and luck, bing the core attack force of the Red-Eyed ck Dragon team. Her name frequently appeared on the leaderboard of various dungeons for achieving the fastest timing and first kill. Furthermore, because of her adorable looks and the tiny panda she often carries, she was very popr in the game. But why would such a girl choose to leave Emperor Blood and join his guild? Could she be a spy? pondered Su Yu. However, he soon put it aside. He didnt n on managing a guild and given his specific circumstances, it wouldnt take long for his guild to be infiltrated by members of other guilds, so he wasnt concerned about adding one more to the mix. Su Yu: Alright! Let her join my guild after she reaches level 10. Red Eye, how about you? Do you want toe too? Red -Eyed ck Dragon: forget about it, Ive signed a contract with Emperor Blood, I cant afford the penalty for breach. Su Yu: OkayBy the way, how was the response to the coborative question-and-answer session we concludedst night? He had spent the whole night searching for information about the ghost and hadnt had time to check the official forum yet. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Boss, didnt you pay attention? The forums response was great! Your praises are all over the ce! If you dont believe me, go take a tour of the vige, youll likely hear words of admiration everywhere! Su Yu: Really? Su Yu ended his private chat with Red-Eyed ck Dragon and stepped out of the depot. The dungeon merchant [Jenny] was right across from the depot. At this time, a long line had been formed in front of [Jenny], with yers queuing to buy tickets in order to teleport into the dungeon. Many yers were bing impatient, eager to be teleported quickly. New yers were continually arriving, calling on their friends to join the queue. Mr Li, lets go and y [Green Pasture] dungeon! Ive been wanting the [Lucky Clover] dropped by the vige chief of Sheep Vige for a long time, it shouldst me until level 15! No way, youre foolish! How are we even supposed to win? Youre the fool! Dont you know that Nemesis posted a guide to the dungeon yesterday? any yer can get through now! Of course, I do, but there are at least eight or nine hundred questions in that post! Do you remember them all? Why should I remember? When the boss asks a question, why dont we just open the forum and take a look? Are you really that dim? Oh, rightmy bad, lets gear up for the dungeon,e on! Another pair of yers joined the queuing ranks. Exit and more yers wereing out of the dungeon. Haha, finally done! Look at my [Wolf Shoot Bow]! A joyous archer yer stood at the dungeons entrance, proudly showing off his bow. Look at my cool sses? It was dropped by the vige chief! Another yer wearing the [Vige Chiefs sses] posed like a detective. No matter what, we have to thank Nemesis! Without the answers he figured out, where would we get our equipment? Right! Thank you, Nemesis! Once I reach Level 10, Ill apply to join Nemesis guild immediately! yers, indeed, praised Su Yu endlessly just like Red-Eyed ck Dragon exined, because Su Yu brought them practical benefits. Watching the yers happy faces, Su Yus mood brightened as well. After all, do good to others and good wille to you! After strolling around for a while, Su Yu headed to the Mercenary Trade Market to dismantle his stall from yesterday. Mercenary Trade Market. The spot was nowhere near as lively as it was yesterday, only a few scattered yers stood around the stall. These yers werent there to buy equipment but out of curiosity to see what a blue-grade rare item looked like. Su Yu approached to check the stall information. Last night, he had ced 53 blue-grade rare equipment up for sale. Up till now, 41 of them had been sold with just 12 left. What remained were mostly Level 3 blue-grade items, all the Level 5 items had been sold. Selling these, Su Yu earned a total of 5040 spiritual energy coins, equivalent to tens of thousands of dors. But for Su Yu, this money was but a drop in the ocean. He stored the remnant money and equipment in his backpack and left the Mercenary Trade market without a nce back. The surrounding onlookers were taken aback to see the stall disappear, hurriedly spreading the word. Even the forum saw a couple of discussion threads on the topic. But currently, yers were busy grinding in the dungeon for equipment, so this incident did not create any waves. After packing up his stall, Su Yu went to the Magic House, found the Mage, and reimed his extrarge skin backpack full of loot dropped by the Wolf King. Under Mages reluctant gaze, Su Yu left the Magic House, went to the vige square, and reported to the vige chief. Brave adventurer! Learning that Su Yu was ready to go to the Goldfinch City, the vige chief stood with his back to the east, his gaze full of depth: From the day you set foot in Nn vige, I knew we were destined to part. Youre alone in the Empire, remember to be cautious! I will. Su Yu replied. But before you leave, I must tell you about the history and current situation of the Empire so you can make your mark in the capital city. Please do. Su Yu resignedly replied. If he remembered correctly, the chief story time was a long and tedious process that took a full 15 minutes! And these 15 minutes cant be skipped, every yer must go through it. Su Yu had no choice but to patiently listen. This story begins with the God of Creation making all things The chief began his slow narration. 15 minutester, the story ended. The history of the Goldfinch Empire doesnt need to be borated. Apart from the in-game schrs, no one cared. The present situation of the Goldfinch Empire could be summarised concise: 20 years ago, the Emperor Charles VI was making a fortune from his people, and his suppressive rule caused numerous famines and deaths. The northern lords headed by Anzu Seifer and Landilus seized the opportunity to rebel, organising a Kalet rebellion. The Kalet rebellion was well supported by themon folk, and they very quickly took over half of the Goldfinch Empire. They have almost reached the Imperial Capital! On the other hand, the Royal family had a very popr leader Princess Alyssa. However, Princess Alyssa hasnt seized military power yet, her ability is quite weak. Su Yus main storyline is to help Princess Alyssa get the scepter symbolising the Emperors power, consolidate domestic forces, defeat the Kalet rebellion, and restore the glory of the Goldfinch Empire! Chapter 63 - 63: 63. [First-Person Holographic Simulation Experience]_l Chapter 63: 63. [First-Person Holographic Simtion Experience]_l Trantor: 549690339 After hearing the story, Su Yu bid the vige chief goodbye and stepped onto the teleportation array to the Goldfinch City. Hum The magic array shimmered with a white light, and Su Yus figure disappeared within its glow. At the same time, all online yers received two system prompts: Ding! A yer has arrived in the Main City. The [Pet System], [Guild System], [Chat Room] function, and [First-Person Holographic Simtion Experience] function are now open! The first expansion pack Golden Sparrow Empire officially begins, the next expansion pack will open on August 1, stay tuned! The game Evolution has a rich content in each expansion pack, enough for yers to y for two years. However, in order to quickly improve the strength of Blue Star yers, each expansion pack was forciblypressed to 2 months, so many plot contents were simplified. For example, a legion war thatsts for months would probably end in two or three days. If one missed the opportunity to join this war, many exclusive rewards could never be obtained again. But most yers didnt know about these. After receiving the system prompt, yers stopped grinding and discussed: A yer has entered the main city? It must be Nemesis, right? One expansion pack every two months? Even a donkey in the production team doesnt work so hard! Wont it be too fast? The two months arent even up yet, and we are hastily switching versions. Isnt it good to have quick updates? I think its great! Unlike the novels I follow, one or two short chapters a day Forget about that, I know all about pets and guilds, and I can guess what the chat room is, but can anyone tell me what First-Person Holographic Simtion Experience means? No idea. Absolutely no concept. yers shake their heads. At the same time, Zhan Tianjian, who was cruelly killing a small roon of IV9, fell into deep thought after seeing the Ivil mark in front of Su Yus name in his friend list. Why didnt Nemesis go directly to the main city at level 10, but leveled up to 11 in the newbie vige? Could there be some secret in the newbie vige? Zhan Tianjian pondered for a moment and said to his teammates beside him: After we reach level 10, lets not head directly to the main city just yet. Lets look for hidden missions in the newbie vige. There might be some extra benefits to it. Oh yeah, notify all the middle tiers to do the same, and its best if they head to the main city at level 11! Understood! The four teammates answered. Goldfinch City. Standing on the huge teleportation array in the city center, Su Yu was also looking at these two system prompts. The [Pet System] and [Guild System] need not be exined. The [Chat Room] can amodate up to 100 people for simultaneous online chat, which is equivalent to an in-game chat group. As for the [First-Person Holographic Simtion Experience], this function is interesting! In the past, yers were able to take photos and videos in the game. Taking Su Yus 1v100 incident in the newbie vige as an example, it was clearly recorded by nearby yers, and many yers shouted and cheered after watching the video. But what if you still dont feel satisfied? The official guide is here! This new feature, if Su Yu used a first-person perspective to record his IVIOO process, yers would be able to experience it as if they were possessed by the Nemesis character, having his first-person perspective. Its like they are controlling the Nemesis character to continuously release skills, ughtering all the yers in front of them. Its that kind of immersive first-person experience! In the past life, this feature was not popr after its release. Until the appearance of an experience video by the assassin master Frost Red Tea, this feature became hugely popr! At that time, Frost Red Tea fought against 300 members of the Emperor Blood guild alone. With his dagger dancing, he hid, backstabbed, assassinated, disappeared, and Shadow Stepped He survived countless close encounters, and carried out countless surprise assassinations! 300 people were helpless against him. With his supreme skills alone, he ughtered all 300 people! In his previous life, Su Yu had tried this first-person video out of admiration, it was extremely thrilling and satisfying, and he also learned a lot from it. To experience this video once, it costs 50 coins. At that time, the cumtive y count worldwide reached over a hundred million times, with a 20% profit share, it brought Frost Red Tea nearly 1 billion ie, it was a real rags-to-riches story. Hmm, I also need to find an opportunity to record some experience videos to earn some money, otherwise, if I keep spending without earning, the money on me will run out sooner orter. Su Yu thought to himself. After leaving the teleportation array, Su Yu used the red horse sign to summon Tinas little mare. With a soft neigh, the gentle little mare appeared next to Su Yu, rubbing its head against his chest. Should I give you a name? Since you are Tinas horse, Ill call you Dima! Su Yu put therge leather backpack on Dimas back and led her to the warehouse. After stashing all the stuff in the warehouse, Su Yu rode on Dima and arrived at the Pet Incubation Room. Ding! Do you want to spend 1000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Howling Moon Wolf Egg (Excellent)]? Confirmed. Congrattions! The quality of the [Howling Moon Wolf Egg (Excellent)] has been upgraded to [Howling Moon Wolf Egg (Rare)]! Ding! Do you want to spend 10000 After spending 11000 spiritual energy coins to upgrade the pet egg to Epic, Su Yu handed it over to the pet incubation boss. Incubating a tier one Epic pet costs 328 spiritual energy coins and needs 48 hours. The incubation shop owner looked at Su Yu with a smile. The shortest time should be 24 hours, how much does that cost? Su Yu asked directly, sounding very knowledgeable. Seeing that Su Yu was so knowledgeable, the shop owner was also a bit surprised: You are the first otherworld adventurer to visit my shop Okay, Ill give you a 50% discount, and it will be 4000 spiritual energy coins. Alright! Su Yu paid the money readily, got on Dima and left the incubation room. Indeed, it takes 48 hours to incubate an Epic level pet. Using rare magical materials can shorten this time, and it can be reduced to a minimum of 24 hours. Moreover, due to the use of rare magic materials, the attributes of the hatched wolf cub will be higher than that of a naturally hatched one, so this 4000 spiritual energy coins is quite worthwhile. Now that everything that should be done is done, lets go tackle the main line story! Su Yu opened the missions panel and looked at the topmost [Glory of the Golden Sparrow Empire (2/100)]. [Glory of the Golden Sparrow Empire (2/100)] Task requirements: Go to 19 Berglit Street, the residence of the Royal Guard Keerderon of the Princess, and inquire about the ways to get an audience with the princess. Task reward: Experience Points X500. In his previous life, Su Yu didnt do the main storyline, so he didnt know what the rewards will be this time. I hope there could be a few items to quickly increase my strength. If not, a powerful skill scroll would be fine too! With full of expectation, Su Yu rode on Dima toward Berglit Street.. Chapter 64 - 64: 64, Princess plotline stages 3-5, goodwill system_l Chapter 64: Princess plotline stages 3-5, goodwill system_l Trantor: 549690339 Goldfinch City is a colossal city, as well as thergest city in the entire game. The city sits at the intersection of fertile rivers on the Tanzan ins. When observed from the outside, it appears as a somewhat lengthened rectangle from east to west, and somewhat narrow from north to south. ording to measurement data from previous world research parties, the city spans 9,721 meters from east to west, 8,651 meters north to south, with a city wall standing 12 meters high. Around 600,000 civilians live within the city. Old Goldfinch City was extremely prosperous and affluent, serving as the political, cultural, andmercial hub of the entire Goldfinch Empire. But now, as Su Yu rode Dima down the streets, he noticed the distressed and gloomy expressions on the faces of the residents on both sides of the streets. The entire city resonated with an aura of extreme destion and stagnation. This was closely tied to the circumstances atrger. The rebel army from the northernnds of Kalet had already forced their way to Goldfinch City. Furthermore, none of the residents believed that the royal family could hold the city. A great catastrophe was about to fall upon every single individual in the city. Su Yu, of course, could also feel this intense and solemn atmosphere. However, he wasnt from this world, so he wasnt particrly empathetic. The only thing on his mind was to quicklyplete his tasks and receive the rewards. 19 Berglit Street. It was a three-story detached vi, apanied by a not-so-small garden. Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess chose to live here when hes off duty. Hello! Im an adventurer and I would like to meet Keledron. Upon reaching the entrance to the vi, Su Yu put Dimas horse badge back into his bag and spoke to the two guards at the entrance. Greetings good sir! One of the white-armored guards greeted Su Yu respectfully, Our master has been very busy with official dutiestely and has mentioned not receiving any visitors for some time. Your understanding is much appreciated. Due to Su Yus 2 World Prestige points, his standing was now equal to that of a baron. As such, the guards treated him extremely courteously. I am from Nn Vige. Su Yu opened his bag and took out a letter, This is a personal letter from the vige head of Nn Vige to Keledron. I hope you two could deliver this letter to your master. Nn Vige?! Both guards were surprised to hear this name. Everyone in the NPCmunity knew that Nn Vige was linked to otherworldly adventurers. Very well, I will deliver the letter to our master immediately. The white-armored guard didnt dare to dy. He reverently epted the letter with both hands then jogged towards the vi. 5 minutester, the white-armored guard emerged, with an even more respectful demeanor than before. Sir, our master awaits your arrival in the main hall! The guard deeply bowed to Su Yu, almost bending his body to a 90 degrees bow. Alright, lead the way. Su Yu made no change in expression as he followed the guard into the residence. Inside the main hall of the first floor of the vi, Su Yu met Keledron. Keledron was a middle-aged man with stern features and a square face, the kind of person who gave off a strong sense of righteousness just by appearance. Due to being on his break, he didnt wear armor but instead wore a simple blue silk dress. As soon as Keledron saw Su Yu enter the hall, he promptly arose to meet him, Hello, adventurer, Im Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess! Hello, Im Nemesis, just a regr adventurer. Su Yu shook hands with him. I have viewed the personal letter from the vige head. Keledron gestured towards a seat beside him and cut to the chase, Star-forged Dragon King is a powerful leader of the Wind Chime Empire, and the number of people in our Goldfinch Empire capable of fighting against him is less than five. Yes, I know., Su Yu nodded. If it were in the past, both the Princess and His Majesty, the Emperor would surely take this formidable enemy seriously, but now Keledron sighed, As you are aware of the current predicament in the Empire, the rebels are almost at the Imperial City. Amid internal strife and external pressure, the Princess has too much on her te, its somewhat unlikely for her to see you over this matter. So, what do I need to do?, Su Yu asked. From Keledrons tone, Su Yu came to realize something: Keledron was not reluctant to introduce him to the Princess; he was just looking to exploit this asion for personal gain. As expected, Keledron said, grinning, If you could help meplete a few tasks, Id agree to introduce you to Her Highness, the Princess. Id also put in a good word for you, helping you gain her recognition. For the Empire, I will spare no effort. Su Yu stood to respond. No, no, no, its not for the Empire, but for a few personal errands of mine, Keledron appeared slightly embarrassed by revealing this, but he quickly concealed it. Adventurer, the overall situation in the Empire is very bleak. The royal family will certainly fail to sustain Goldfinch City, even a three-year-old ying on the streets can see that. , Keledron looked grave. Su Yu simply nodded him without speaking and listened to him continue. Because the city is on the verge of falling, the capable officials and nobles within the city have already transferred all their assets elsewhere, and Im no exception. My family and assets havepletely moved to Forest City in the west. Only this house beneath our feet remains. But due to the rampant banditry on the western road, its very dangerous. Ive lost contact with my family for a long time. Adventurer, are you willing to make a trip to Forest City to check on my family? With that, Keledron took out a personal letter and respectfully handed it to Su Ding! Your main quest line has been updated! [Glory of Goldfinch Empire (3/100)]. Task requirement: Deliver Keledrons personal letter to Millie Keldron at 24 Moke Street, Forest City. Task Reward: 2000 Experience Points, +1 Favorability with Millie Keldron, 100 Spiritual Energy Coins. So its an NPC with Favorability? Su Yu was slightly surprised. The [NPC Favorability] was a gamey introduced in the second expansion. The first expansion probably used it provisionally for the main storyline. By increasing an NPCs favorability, Once the favorability reaches a certain level, yers can win over the NPC, bing friends and even getting married. After getting married, you could even have children, who have a separate gamey system. They could work, study, battle monsters in summary, it was a veryplex gamey. Alright, Ill make sure to deliver the letter., Su Yu took his leave from Keledron. Im counting on you, adventurer! , Keledron waved. For the rest of the time, Su Yu was busypleting Keledrons tasks, i.e., from the third to the fifth part of the[Glory of Goldfinch Empire]quest. Despite repeated attacks and ambushes by bandits, he sessfully delivered the letter to Millie Keldron; then he returned to Goldfinch City and continued to help Keledron in collecting information on the rebel army, retrieving illegal gains, suppressing opposition. It took him four hours toplete all tasks. Over at Millie Keldrons end, there was also a sub-quest to increase her favorability, but Su Yu didnt take it. The reason was simple: she was too ugly. She looks exactly like the real-life Ru Hua. No wonder she wasnt wife material in our previous lives., Su Yumented in his heart.. Chapter 65 - 65: 65, Underground Secret Base, Downtown Land Title 1 Chapter 65: Underground Secret Base, Downtown Land Title 1 Trantor: 549690339 While Su Yu was deeply engrossed in the main storyline, in the real world. An underground secret base on the west side of East Sea City. The body of the male Skuru warrior that Su Yu killed had been transported here, soaking in a faint green solution filled with life energy. At this moment, various tubes of different sizes were inserted all over his body. About eight or nine biologists in white coats were busy taking his blood samples, undergoing tests, and collecting all kinds of data. This was the first time in history that the Blue Star humans had obtained samples of extraterrestrial life. Many biologists disyed looks of excitement and even euphoria, their shoulders trembling involuntarily. Zhong Feng (Snow Leopard), dressed in a suit, was leaning on the railings on the second floor, looking at the body of the Skuru person below through the atrium. In his hand, he held a restored ultra high-definition 8K photo. If Su Yu was here, he would certainly recognize the scene in the photo of him crashing through the ss of the Mu Yun Building and jumping down. Even the Ultraman mask on his head could be clearly seen. At this time, a dignified-looking, pretty female officer came up to the second floor via the stairs and stood next to Zhong Feng. Xue Wenli, how is the collection of the dissection data going? Zhong Feng turned to look at her. This female officer was called Xue Wenli, and she was the deputy assigned to him by Commissioner Zhang. Zhong Feng initially wanted to refuse, since Xue Wenli had a very explosive temper, even more so than most men. But the resources promised by Mr. Zhang were simply too substantial. Helplessly, he had to grit his teeth and agree to have Xue Wenli as his deputy. The testing will still need some time, at least a few hours before we get the results. Xue Wenli nced over the preliminary test report in her hand, her voice very cold. By the way. Zhong Feng suddenly remembered something and pointed to the photo in his hand, Have you guys identified who this person is yet? Yes, the main reason why I came to find you was regarding this matter, we have identified this person through big data. , Xue Wenli nodded, His name is Su Yu, male, 23 years old, an employee of Mu Yun Company. This morning he went to the Mu Yun Building to process his resignation procedures She recounted Su Yus general information. At the end of her spiel, Xue Wenli added, This is a very ordinary individual, aside from being good-looking, there is nothing special about him. Is that so? Zhong Feng nodded after listening. After a moment, he said, Then you go meet him this afternoon, I have a feeling this person may not be that simple. Ive heard from Senior Zhang Jiao that many powerful individuals from the ancient times will be resurrecting soon, pay special attention to him. See if he has any memories inherited from the ancients. Xue Wenli raised an eyebrow: What about you? Me? I need to go online and y the game. Zhong Feng chuckled ruefully, Ive been busy outside for so long today, if I dont go online now I wont be able to squeeze in 12 hours. Okay then, Ill go see him this afternoon. The corners of Xue Wenlis mouth curled up. She was very much looking forward to meeting this potential superhuman. Returning to the game. At this point, Su Yu hadpleted the fifth task of [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire]. Taking the evidence [ount book of Count Xintis] back to No. 19 Berglit Street, Su Yu officially submitted the task to Keerderon. Excellent work, adventurer! Keerderon looked at the records in the ount book with delight, With this irrefutable evidence, Count Xintis is done for! I guarantee it! What about my reward then? Afterpleting these tasks for Keerderon, Su Yu was extremely frustrated with him. Even at this critical juncture with the rebel army at the city gates, all Keerderon had in mind was to take this opportunity to suppress colleagues with whom he had disputes in the past. With these kinds of subordinates, its no wonder the royal house couldnt hold onto Goldfinch city. Wait a moment, adventurer, I assure you that you will be satisfied! Keerderon turned around and went back to his bedroom. After a while, he came out holding a piece of parchment. This is your reward, Ive decided to give you this house! At the same time, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding! Congrattions onpleting the task [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (5/100)]. You have received the reward [Berglit Street No. 19 Deed]X1, 2000 Experience Points. This is a great reward! Su Yus eyes lit up. This house of Keerderons was located in the most bustling area in the center of Goldfinch city. Not only was it a standalone three-story vi, but it also came with arge courtyard of several hundred square meters. This level of home might not be of much use in the first game update. But in the second game update where Goldfinch city gets rebuilt, it could easily be sold for several hundred thousand to a million spiritual energy coins! If Keerderon was not in a hurry to flee, he definitely would not have given Su Yu such a good reward. Well, thank you then! Su Yu smiled, epting the deed cheerfully. Dont mention it, youve helped me out immensely, its just a house, no big deal! Keerderonughed heartily. When I leave Goldfinch city, I will give you the keys to this house, then you can move in. Keerderon patted Su Yus shoulder affectionately. In Keerderons view, the royal house was corrupt and would sooner orter be defeated by the rebels and evenpletely obliterated. At that time, the deed signed by the royal house would naturally lose its validity and turn into a piece of worthless paper. Therefore, he didnt feel any pain in giving the deed to Su Yu. Su Yu epted the deed: Then can you now introduce me to the princess? Absolutely. Keerderon readily agreed, Tomorrow when Im on duty, Ill take the vige chiefs handwritten letter and introduce you to the princess. You just have to wait at the entrance of the royal pce at that time. Naturally, whether or not the princess wishes to meet you is not up to me, you must be prepared that you may not be summoned. At the same time, Su Yus mission log was updated: Ding! Your main line has been updated! [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (6/100)]. Task requirements: Please arrive at the entrance of the Goldfinch Royal Pce in exactly 2 hours. Countdown 1:59:58. Task reward: 200 Experience Points. Due to the gamepression, one day in the game equals two hours in reality. So what Keerderon referred to as one day only shows as two hours on the task panel. And after Su Yu had justpleted four hours of tasks for Keerderon, which to Keerderon seemed like Su Yu had been running about for two days, he was particrly friendly towards Su Yu.. Chapter 66 - 66: 66, Scholar’s Temple, Bet_l Chapter 66: Schrs Temple, Bet_l Trantor: 549690339 So what should I do while waiting for these two hours? Leaving Keerderons residence, Su Yu led Dima through the crowded street. He checked his task panel, currently epting only three tasks: The main story [Golden Glory of the Goldfinch Empire], [Saint of Orleans City], and a hidden task rted to Tina [Centaurs Lingering Feelings]. Shall I now teleport to Orleans City to start the [Saint of Orleans City] storyline? Su Yu stroked his chin. After some thought, he shook his head: No, if the main storyline there just happens to be a high-difficulty task or a time-limited task, I might not be able to return on time. Su Yu gave up the idea of heading to Orleans City. Main story missions are extremely difficult. Just like the three-stage task he justpleted for Keerderon, whether it was delivering letters or sneaking into the counts mansion, it wasnt something that ordinary yers could aplish. Granted he was able toplete it by relying on good equipment, powerful spells, and a lot of energy. Opening two main storylines at the same time would be too much for him. If Im not heading to Orleans City, Ill use this time to join the [Schrs Temple]. The headquarters of the Schrs Temple is in Goldfinch City. Su Yu remembered the invitation from Pism, the old mage from the novice vige. After joining the [Schrs Temple], he could also reap quite a few benefits. Once decided, he acted. Su Yu asked the city guards for directions to the Schrs Temple headquarters, then obediently followed their directions, riding Dima towards it. The headquarters of the Schrs Temple is located in the southwest of Goldfinch City, alongside various churches of various faiths. The exterior of the Schrs Temple headquarters looks simr to a church, but the hall of the church is not enshrined with a statue of a god, but a statue of a gigantic stone book spread open. Most of the members of the Schrs Temple are mages, they dont care for divine protection, they only desire endless knowledge. The moment he stepped through the gate of the temple, the bustling noises of the street outside disappeared instantly, leaving only the solemn silence unique to the temple. On both sides of the hall are rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, many mages in robes are engrossed in reading here, not even ncing at Su Yus arrival. Not long after, a page boy came over from the side and whispered to Su Yu, Sir, is there anything you need help with? Im here to join the Schrs Temple. Su Yu took the [Schrs Temple Invitation] out of his backpack and handed it to the page boy. Seeing the signature on it, the page boys eyes lit up: This is an invitation from Master Pism! He didnt dare to ck off: Please wait here for a moment, Ill go notify Master Haimleke! Okay. Su Yu nodded. After the page boy left, Su Yu went to the bookshelves and started flipping through the books, soon immersing himself in the sea of knowledge. It was about ten minutester. An angry middle-aged mans voice sounded,ing from the entrance of the corridor behind the stone book statue: Outrageous! Does Pism have spiritual energy coins stuffed in his brain? As long as Im here, Ill never allow a parvenu to join the temple! But, Master Haimleke, Master Pism does have the authority to make him one of us another voice said. No way! I shall never allow the stench of the nouveau riche to tarnish this holy temple, where is that nouveau riche? Haimleke looked at the page boy. Hes over there. The page boy weakly pointed to Su Yu, who was flipping through books by the bookshelf. Haimleke is a mage in his mid-thirties, wearing a slightly wrinkled earth-yellow mage robe. Probably due to constantly staying indoors reading, hisplexion was an unnatural pale. However, judging from the magic surging around him, he was at least a fifth-order mage, one of the main forces of the Schrs Temple. Upon seeing Su Yu, he immediately stormed over. Even from a distance, he said rudely: Please leave! Our Schrs Temple never epts parvenus whose brains are just mush! Even if you hold an invitation personally signed by Pism, I will never allow you to join! Is that so? Su Yu calmly closed the book in his hand, pushed it back onto the bookshelf, then turned around to look at Haimleke. From Haimlekes words, Su Yu roughly understood what was going on. This involved the internal struggle of the Schrs Temple, and he just happened to stumble upon it! Within the Schrs Temple, there has been constant debate about issues concerning the temples management and development. A faction of members led by Pism believe that the temple should attract some wealthy merchants and nobles to join. They would pay membership fees, which would cover the temples daily expenses. And once they had money, the temple could purchase more valuable books, even start their own academic journals, exchange ideas with schrs across the country, brainstorm and make collective progress. This was why he invited Su Yu. But the members of the temple, led by Haimleke, dont think so. They vowed to defend the purity of the Schrs Temple, believing that the temple should be the sanctuary of schrs, and should not be tainted by the metallic smell of merchants and the stench of nobility. And they believe that once merchants and nobility join the temple, with their sessful experiences in business and politics, it wont take many years for them to infiltrate the management and even the top tier of the Schrs Temple. By then, the Schrs Temple would exist in name only,pletely bing a tool for the worlds of politics and business. Both parties make sense. But for now, it seems that Haimlekes faction is dominating, hence the outright dismissal of Su Yu. Su Yu didnt mind Haimleke calling him a nouveau riche, because he was indeed one! But as for the brain is just mush, he was not okay with that. Who says the brains of nouveau riche are mush? Many nouveau riche are extremely knowledgeable! Take me, for example. Su Yu looked at Haimleke calmly. You? Haimleke scrutinized Su Yu. An ordinary first-order mage wearing leather armor, no less. This set of armor seemed to be filled with some special energy, every part of it reached the quality of a first-order rare item. Hmm? Not a native resident? An adventurer from another world? Haimleke had heard about adventurers from other worlds, seems like something created by some great power. But his disdain grew even more noticeable: You? What knowledge could an adventurer from another world possess? How many days have you been in our world? Could you have umted more knowledge than we schrs who have studied for decades? Haimleke couldnt be bothered to deal with Su Yu. After giving a cold snort, he turned around and walked towards the corridor behind the stone book statue. But just then, a light voice sounded from behind him: Would you like to bet, Haimleke? If I lose, Im willing to give away 1 million spiritual energy coins! Chapter 67 - 67: 67, A bet of 100 million spiritual energy coins 1 Chapter 67: A bet of 100 million spiritual energy coins 1 Trantor: 549690339 100 million? Haimleke came to a sudden halt. He turned around, unbelievingly looking at Su Yu, Are you sure you want to bet 1 million spiritual energy coins? Can you even afford that? The schrs of the Schrs Temple earned a living mostly by drawing magic scrolls. A first-grade scroll would earn about 70-80 spiritual energy coins and take several tens of minutes to draw. A million spiritual energy coins, doesnt that mean selling tens of thousands of scrolls? I can, of course, afford it. Its up to you whether you want to bet or not, Su Yu said with a smile. Looking at Su Yus fearless appearance, Haimleke took a deep breath, Tell me, what do you want to bet? The Schrs Temple certainly has a high-level schr exam, right? Of course. I wish to take the high-level schr exam, if I pass sessfully, the Temple allows me to join and confer the High-level Schr Badge to me; If I fail, I will donate one million spiritual energy coins to the Temple! Do you dare ept this bet? Su Yu smiled at Haimleke. The High-level Schr Badge is an ornament and an unrestricted equip level legendary golden ornament at that! The first yer who acquired this ornament in his past life had been highly sought after by the yers after posting its attributes! After all, this is an epic ornament that can be brought into reality! To get the High-level Schr Badge, one must pass the high-level schr exam. But anyone cant just participate in the high-level schrly exam. You have to join powerhouses such as [Schrs Temple], [Silvershine Spire], [Arcane Academy] and have a high enough contribution and at least a Reverent reputation level to participate. (A forces reputation level is divided into: Neutral, Friendly, Respected, Revered, and Worshiped.) In his past life, Su Yu was a member of the top tier force [Silvershine Spire]. After grinding his reputation up to Revered, he relied on a huge amount of back questions and rich gaming experience to pass the high-level schrly exam and obtain this legendary golden ornament. The whole process was even more strenuous than a civil service examination! If he could acquire this ornament in the early stage, it would undoubtedly be a massive enhancement to his power in the game and real world! Haimleke stared at Su Yu with a are you kidding me expression: Listen here, young man. I have been part of the Temple since I was young. I only passed the high-level schr exam two years ago when I was 35, you, an otherworld adventurer 10 million spiritual energy coins! Ill bet you 10 million! Do you dare to ept? Su Yu interrupted him directly. 110 million? All the schrs around him looked at Su Yu, their eyes full of disbelief. Is he a son of a great noble family? Can he even afford this much money? Thenthat, young man. Haimleke brain was nk, not knowing what to say. After a good while, he finally stuttered, IAlthough Im a core member of the templebutthe high-level schr exam, thats not something I can decide One hundred million spiritual energy coins! Su Yu continued. Su Yus voice wasnt loud, but it sounded like a bomb had gone off in everyones ears! One hundred million spiritual energy coins! !! Even powerhouses like the [Schrs Temple] couldnt ignore such a vast amount of money. Moreover, the stake Su Yu proposed was extremely uneven. The opportunity of one high-level schrly exam wagered against one hundred million spiritual energy coins, the higher-ups of the Temple would surely wake upughing from their dreams! Su Yus expression was very indifferent, as if one hundred million spiritual energy coins were nothing more than scrap paper to him. If this was a real alternate world, Su Yu definitely wouldnt be so wild. After all, one doesnt show wealth casually. One day you are showing off, the next day you dont know which strong man will rob you. But this is, after all, a game with the protection of the system god, Su Yu cant possibly be robbed by an NPC, this is also why he dared to set up a bet. Ill be the one to bet with you! At this moment, an old voice echoed from inside the Schrs Temple. The voice at first seemed far away. But by the time Su Yu heard the sentence, an old man dressed in a simple blue robe, his face kindly, appeared in the lobby. The old mans movement speed was even faster than the speed of sound! Its Master Alex! Greetings, Master Alex! Master Alex, may the light of wisdom ever shine upon you. Haimleke and the schrs present quickly bowed to the old man. The greetings were full of deep respect. The old man returned the greetings to everyone present and then slowly walked towards Su Yu: Young man, I am Alex, a sixth-order mage in the Sanctuary. I have the authority to let you take the high-level schr examination. When a mage reaches level 75, which is the sixth order, ones own realm is stimted and is revered as a Sanctuary Mage, they also represent the strongest existences in the entire game world! In his past life, the exam nerds had counted, there were only around 1000 NPCs above the Sanctuary in the entire game world, including all humans, elves, Orcs, dwarves, abyssal demons, deep-sea monsters Since this old man is a Sanctuary Mage, he must be one of the main decision-makers behind the [Schrs Temple]. Its an honour to meet you, Master Alex! Su Yu respectfully bowed to the old man, smiling, The main reason I am doing this is to prove to Haimleke, that we nouveau riche can also have profound knowledge. After saying that, he gave Haimleke a look. Haimleke was immediately choked. You can easily pull out one hundred million spiritual energy coins, this is already beyond the scope of nouveau riche right? And to pass the high-level schr exam at such a young age? Are these otherworld adventurers a group of monsters? Haimleke stood still on the spot, starting to question his life. The old man, however, smiled faintly, Since you are confident in passing the high-level schr examination, lets just let you try. If you pass the examination, we Schrs Temple wee your participation! I would be honored to join the Temple and be a member of the Temple. Then, young man,e with me. The old man led the way, leading Su Yu towards the interior of the Temple. The nearby schrs mostly had not witnessed the high-level schr exam. Seeing that Haimleke had no time to stop them, they followed Su Yu in a flurry, hoping to gain some insight. Behind the stone book statue, there is a long corridor. Gone all the way in, you arrived at the atrium of the Schrs Temple. But unlike thevish statues in the temples of faith nearby, the atrium of the Schrs Temple is nted with flowers and nts, like arge garden. Many schrs sat in the garden, engrossed in reading a book. Compared to the outside warzone, here is like a paradise. There are several rooms along the side of the courtyard, the old man walked to the door of one and beckoned to Su Yu, The high-level schrly examination is held here, and I will be your examiner. Okay. Su Yu nodded, So about this bet, should we sign a magic contract to guarantee its validity? No need, I believe in your character. The old man smiled and walked into the room.. Chapter 68 - 68: 68, Senior Scholar Assessment_l Chapter 68: Senior Schr Assessment_l Trantor: 549690339 Upon entering, the elder moved to the inner part of the room and turned on a magical device mounted on the wall. Apanied by a soft humming sound, a faint blue magical light filled the entire room. This is the [Magic imager]. It will record everything about the exam to prevent any biases or unfairness during the process. Do you mind that? The elder looked at Su Yu, querying with his eyes. Of course not. Su Yu took a deep breath, adjusting himself to his top condition while recalling the questions he used to tackle in his previous life so that he could be fully prepared. Seeing Su Yus utter confidence, a glint of admiration flickered in the elders eyes. When shall we begin? We can start anytime. Alright then, let us start. Let me exin the rules. The elder looked at Su Yu with his hands behind his back, his expression growing more solemn. The senior schr exam consists of 30 questions. If you answer 21 of them correctly, youll pass. It is as simple as that. 21 questions?, a hint of surprise shed across Su Yus face. Is there a problem? No, not at all, please proceed. Su Yu managed to hide the surprise on her face, and firmly set his mind at ease. In his past life, the senior schr exam required correct answers to 24 questions for passing. It was surprising that in the early stages of the exam, you only needed 21 correct answers. The first ten questions are written tests. Given thest-minute nature of this exam, lets make it in the form of question-and-answer. Its all the same. Listen to the first question, Where is the main production area of the Silvermoon Grass? After a moment of thought, Su Yu replied loud and clear, Silvermoon Grass is mainly found in the Frost River Valley in Thorn City of Lai Yin Empire, in the Tauren ntation of Rhode Ind; in the Springsong Forest of Cloud City of the Goldfinch Empire, in Snowke Forest Land of Giant Tree City Thats enough. You neednt name more than three. Seeing Su Yu ready to go on as if listing dishes from a menu, the elder interrupted him. However, from the first question, the elder could tell that Su Yu indeed had real talent and solid learning, which was why he was so confident about passing the exam. Whats the role of the Gold Lusterstone, one of the ingredients in the 6th-level potion [Eternal Fury]? Once stimted by an energy burst, Gold Lusterstone shatters and releases a great amount of energy. The reason Gold Lusterstone is added to the [Eternal Fury] potion is to expedite the release of the medicinal effect. Absolutely correct! Now lets move on to the third question, the theoretical structure of the Markmund model Thus, 10 question-and-answer questions were quickly concluded. Apart from a question on Bow and arrow air resistance calction that he couldnt answer, Su Yu perfectly tackled 9 of the other questions. The elder was very impressed with Su Yus performance. In the [Schrs Temple], only one or two senior schrs emerged every couple of years, most of whom could only answer 6 or 7 questions correctly in the written test. Any candidate who could answer 8 questions correctly was rare. Su Yu had surprisingly answered 9 questions correctly! Looks like the temple will wee some new blood. The elder thought to himself. Next, is the drawing section. There are 5 drawing problems. You just need to outline what I tell you with your magic power. No problem. Draw a spirit dragon on the left side, and an evil energy on your right Under the elders guidance, the drawing section officially began. However, being considered as the giveaway section, the drawing section was not challenging. The things the elder mentioned were all illustrated in the Continental Encyclopedia Pictorial , which was much easier than the previous section. Su Yu breezed through the section by drawing five pictures, thus clearing this stage of the exam. Out of the remaining 15 questions, he only needed to answer 7 correctly to pass the senior schr exam! Young man, youre doing a great job. Could you tell me who your teacher is? the elder looked at Su Yu with approval. Sorry, but I learned all this knowledge from books. I dont have a teacher. Su Yuughed. However, the elder didnt believe him and said, If you dont wish to tell, I wont insist. With a wave of his hand, he took out a staff emitting dazzling light from his space ring: Lets continue with the remaining part of the exam. I hope you will pass smoothly. Yes. Su Yu nodded, focusing on the following questions. Among the remaining 15 questions, seven were Magical Image analysis questions. For these seven questions, the elder would provide seven scenes. Su Yu was to determine the era and significant event each scene represented. The elder swung his wand, and with a surge of magic power, a projection-like magical image appeared like a projector casting on the snow-white wall. Kill! An earth-shattering cry of Kill came from the magical image. Aside from the battle cries, one could also hear intense impact sounds and sh of swords. In the image, brave human warriors were fighting bloodily against enemies who were taller than them, including Orcs, trolls, Taurens Seeing the scene, Su Yu responded right away, This is the third Humans and Beasts Great War. The venue should be the Jersey ins. The elder didnt switch off the magical image and instead followed up, Youth, how can you tell it was the third Humans and Beasts Great War, instead of the first or second one? Su Yu confidently replied, Its simple. The shoulder pads of the human in the picture are inscribed with the emblem of the Franken n, a family that only came into being after the second Humans and Beasts Great War. Excellent! Your answer is wless! The elder nodded approvingly. Then with another wave of his wand, the second magical image appeared on the wall. But this magical image was rather strange. The scene was indescribable. Looking at the scene, Su Yu felt as if he had returned to the nights when he secretly opened the learning materials from the D drive and watched themte into the night. Err The man in the picture should be the emperor of the Goldfinch Empire! After all, the lining of his clothes is made from a special silk produced by the Pandamen Empire. As for whats happening in the scene, this is theexotic fighting technique he was performing on his queens? Touching his chin, Su Yu didnt expect His Majesty the Emperor to still have such vigor! The elder, who initially kept a poker face, could barely keep a straight face and quickly turned off the magical image: Ahem. Young man, this was an ident. I dont know which careless person recorded this and mixed it with the other videos in the library. Lets just say you passed this question. With another wave of his wand, he projected the next magical image. After seven Magical Image questions, thest 8 questions were object recognition questions. The elder went to the temple storehouse and picked some precious minerals, herbs, and Warcraft leather for Su Yu to recognize their origins and usage. Su Yu was very stable and answered 6 out of 8 object recognition questions correctly. At this point, all 30 questions were answered, and the senior schr examination was sessfully concluded. The elder sent the recorded magical images to his peers for joint review. Finally, the top echelon of the temple unanimously determined that Su Yu had correctly answered 26 questions, thereby easily passing this senior schr exam! Chapter 69 - 69: 69. Golden Epic Accessory, Xue Wenli has arrived 1 Chapter 69: 69. Golden Epic essory, Xue Wenli has arrived 1 Trantor: 549690339 Congrattions on your sessfulpletion of the Advanced Schr Assessment and wee to the Schrs Temple! In the grand hall of the Schrs Temple. Sanctuary Magician Alex warmly approached Su Yu and adorned him with a beautifully crafted badge on his chest. [Advanced Schr Badge (Golden Epic)] Jewelry Property 1: Gain intelligence = your current level Xl. Property 2: Gain Mana = your current level X20. Property 3: Additional skill [Clear Mind]: Remove a specific control effect, cooldown time 120 seconds. Property 4: Additional skill [See Through (Passive)]: Immune to [Charm], [Confuse] and other negative charm-based states. The control effect in Property 3 refers to being knocked off, dizziness,a, freezing, transformation into a sheep, and more. Bleeding, poisoning, and other negative states are not included. But this jewelry is already so powerful! With only properties 1 and 2, Su Yu currently gains 11 points of spell power and 220 points of mana. The mana can be further enhanced inbination with the [Tear of the Goddess] to increase spell power, the more potent theter! Properties 3 and 4 could also significantly enhance Su Yus survival ability in front of control skills, so as not to be controlled by monsters to death. In the hall. Many schrs looked on with envy at the badge on Su Yus chest. This is the title of an advanced schr! Most of them were only primary or mid-level schrs. Passing the Advanced Schr Assessment in their lifetime would be already enough to fulfill their lives. Who would have thought that Su Yu would pass it at such a young age! Haimleke looked at Su Yu with aplicated expression. Just now, looking at the description on the invitation, he thought Su Yu was merely a nouveau riche. But he didnt expect Su Yu to be so amazing, quietly passing the assessment he had been preparing for a few years! Master Alex, how many questions did Nemesis get right? asked Haimleke. 26, much stronger than you were at the time. 26?! Haimleke opened his mouth wide, at a loss for words. Despite full preparation, he barely managed to answer 22 questions right. Yet Su Yu managed to answer a full 4 questions more! Astonished exmations filled the hall, and the schrs looked at Su Yu incredulously. 26 questions! With such an achievement, the temple might not produce a schr who could pass the advanced schrs assessment in 20 years! Are all you otherworldly adventurers as powerful as this? Haimleke felt a bit overwhelmed. If all otherworld adventurers were as knowledgeable and wealthy as Su Yu, able toe up with 100 million spiritual energy coins at a time, did the natives still stand a chance? Hearing Haimlekes question, Magician Alex too turned his attentions toward su Yu. Of course not, Im an exception, Su Yu hurriedly exined: Most adventurers are no different from you, and were very amiable. As long as you issue amission and provide enough rewards, we will help enthusiastically. Thats good. Hearing the truth in Su Yus words, Haimleke breathed a sigh of relief. He walked up to Su Yu, apologizing regretfully: I apologize for the words I spoke earlier. I shouldnt have driven you out of the temple without any just cause. To show my apologies, I decide to give you this, I hope you will not refuse. No sooner had Haimleke finished speaking. Ding! Youve triggered a rare hidden mission: [Haimlekes Apology]. Mission requirements: ept Haimlekes apology. Mission reward: Skill scroll [Transform to Sheep (Epic)], Experience Points XIOO. No worries! If it were me, I also wouldnt want a Mamma Mia oops, a businessman who only thinks of spiritual energy coins to join the temple. I totally understand your decision. Knowledge and books are our true strength! In the face of the [Transform to Sheep] skill scroll, Su Yu readily forgave Haimleke. Moreover, he catered to Haimlekes preferences with a few appropriate words. Youre right! Knowledge and books are our greatest weapons. Let the merchants and noblemen go to hell! Like finding a kindred spirit, Haimleke stepped forward to shake Su Yus hands vigorously. Ding! Haimlekes good impression of you +10. Su Yu: If its not rude to ask, are you married? Su Yu asked quietly. Why are you asking that? I got married ten years ago, and already have three children. Haimleke looked baffled. Then why the hell you are giving me this good impression thingy! For the next hour, or half a day in game time, Su Yu stayed at the Schr Temple. The Temple held an borate wee and celebration ceremony for him. Besides Sanctuary Magician Alex, other high-level schrs also dropped by to convey their congrattions. Su Yus fame in the [Schrs Temple] also soared like a rocket, going straight from neutral to revered. After the revered reputation was unlocked, he could also purchase more good stuff. The eventsted an hour until Su Yu mentioned about meeting the Princess when Haimleke and others reluctantly let him go. Leaving the Temple, Su Yu prepared to ride Dima to the Royal Pce. But at that moment, he suddenly felt a slight knocking sensation in his palm. The signal triggered Su Yus alert. This signal is Someone is there in the real world! Su Yu quickly found a quiet ce and clicked to exit the game. In the rental room in the real world. Su Yu took off the helmet and got up from bed. Knock knock knock! The knocking sound rang by him. Who is it? Is this Mr. Su Yu? Im the person in charge from the relevant department, and Id like to talk to you. A cool feminine voice came from outside the door. The relevant department? They got here so quickly? Su Yu performed a magic scan towards outside the door and saw a pretty, spirited woman in her mid-twenties standing near the door. He looked over to the opposite building, not noticing any sniper traces, and breathed a sigh of relief. Hold on a moment, let me tidy up a bit. Su Yu got up and put on his coat, stowing hisser gun in the wardrobe. After a brief cleanup of the room, he prepared to open the door. However, the moment he reached for the doorknob, his expression changed, a smirk ying at the corners of his mouth: Miss, if I were you Id put away the gun first, at least show some sincerity to negotiate. The woman standing outside was none other than Zhong Fengs deputy Xue Wenli. Hearing Su Yus words, she couldnt help but feel surprised: Theres no surveince camera around here, right? I didnt make any noise pulling out the gun, either, how did he notice me? Nevertheless, she was a decisive person. Xue Wenli took out the bullet clip and threw the pistol on the ground: Can we talk now? Of course. Su Yu opened the door.. Chapter 70 - 70: 70. I am the Immortal Body_l Chapter 70: 70. I am the Immortal Body_l Trantor: 549690339 What youd like to drink? I have Iron Goddess tea, c, and in water. Su Yu offered drinks to his unexpected guest, Xue Wenli, while his back was turned to her. No need, I dont require anything. Xue Wenli was seated on the sofa, her arms crossed over her slender thighs, assessing theyout of Su Yus room. Hmm, the home of an ordinary geek, she quickly drew the conclusion. However, three things seemed odd to her: Firstly, there was a gaming helmet on the bed. Its a helmet for the newly released holographic simtion game Evolution that costs up to 30,000 yuan! Not something the average person would willingly buy. Secondly, the wallpaper on the wall opposite the bed showed signs of being scorched and was peeling off. It appeared to have been caused by electric welding, but there were no welding tools in the room. Thirdly, the target was too calm! If it were an ordinary person, they would have panicked and trembled in fear as soon as she showed her credentials upon entering the room. If someone remains this calm, they must be pretty confident in themselves! Xue Wenli observed Su Yus back with a stern and unyielding gaze. Su Yu brought over two sses of in water. He ced one of them on the coffee table in front of Xue Wenli. So, what brings you here? Su Yu sat across from her. Xue Wenli subtly shifted her gaze, took a small red notebook out of her bag and ced it on the coffee table: Mr. Su Yu, this is the title deed of this apartment. We have transferred the ownership to your name as a token of goodwill. Oh, are you trying to bribe me? As he slowly sipped his water, Su Yu pondered over the one-bedroom apartment that was just a little over fifty square meters. Had he lost on the deal? If Id known that the concerned department was so generous, I should have rented a mansion instead. But, one thing was certain; at least he wouldnt have to worry about paying rent anymore. Not exactly. We just hope that Mr. Su Yu, considering the title deed, could answer a few questions for us. Xue Wenli took out an erged photograph from her bag and ced it in front of Su Yu. Su Yu looked at the picture. The picture showed him jumping out of the window through the shattered ss on the 19th floor of the Mu Yun building. Ah, I knew it! Su Yu sighed internally. He had a bad feeling when he saw the girl raising her phone to take a picture while he was still mid-air. He had no idea that only a few hours had passed and the authorities had already found him. The person in the photo is you, right? Xue Wenli asked as she keenly stared at su Yu. Its me. Su Yu admitted with a shrug. There was no point in denying it at this stage. If theypared his pictures with him in person, the simrity in physique and hairstyle would definitely be a hundred percent. It was better to confess now thanter. Can you exin to us why you were unscathed after jumping from the 19th floor? Because I am invincible. Su Yu answered. Invincible? Xue Wenli echoed. Yes, Ive been alive for 23 years and havent died yet, so I am invincible. Su Yu said in an earnest tone. Xue Wenli: She felt a bit yed. Just like everyone else hadnt died, what special about being invincible! However, as someone who had weathered many storms, it only took a brief moment for Xue Wenli to suppress the anger that made her veins throbbing. So, can you tell us how you achieved this invincibility? Were you born with it? Or Xue Wenli nced at the gaming device on the bed, her eyes narrowed. ording to what Zhong Feng had ryed after consulting with Zhang Jiao, once you obtain Level 50, you can manifest your in-game abilities into reality. Could Su Yus abilities be sourced from the game Evolution? Seeing Xue Wenlis gaze shift to the gaming helmet, Su Yu decided to reveal the truth: Yes, my abilitiese from the game Evolution. I can bring some of my in-game abilities into the real world. Su Yu lifted his right hand, an electric arc sparkling from his fingertips, crackling as it stood poised, at the ready to unleash [Lightning Bolt]. This.. Witnessing the electricity in Su Yus palm, Xue Wenlis eyes narrowed sharply. Zhang Jiao didnt lie to them; the proof was right in front of them! The abilities from the game could actually be manifested in reality! If Zhong Feng saw this, he would probably faint from joy! Youve reached level 50 already?! No, its just a special talent that allows me to manifest my abilities earlier. I see. Xue Wenli stared into Su Yus face, her expression showing a mixture of emotions. This was a big deal! The fact that Evolution could provide yers with superpowers was confirmed, which would multiply Countrys interest in the game manifold! Moreover, based on the abilities Su Yu had already demonstrated, they could roughly estimate how strong a human could be once they reached level 50 in Evolution. This was crucial information! Seeing Xue Wenlipse into silence, Su Yu decided to seize the opportunity, As for the events that happened this morning, I can exin. Ive never been to the top floor of the building before. Out of curiosity, I decided to take a look around since I was leaving my job. I reached the entrance of the Presidents office and was suddenly pulled inside by someone who tried to attack me! I was terrified, so I threw a bolt of lightning at them. They became furious and forcefully masked me and threw me out of the building. I survived by maically clinging onto the wall with my ability. Thats pretty much everything I know. Hmm Xue Wenli nodded. She had previously interrogated Wang Chongyang, the head of the finance department of Mu Yun Company. ording to his ount, Su Yu indeed expressed a desire to wander around the building. However, there were still many suspicious points in the incident. For instance, the janitor said that nobody saw Su Yu; The door lock to the presidents office was damaged by lightning, suggesting Su Yu was involved; Where did the Skuru peoples weapon, which could prate walls, go? Xue Wenli knew that Su Yu was certainly hiding something from her. But that wasnt the point. The essential matter was that Su Yu indeed managed to bring his powers from the game Evolution into reality. This information was of the utmost importance to her department, the entire Country, and even the global human race! Xue Wenli stood up and looked Su Yu square in the eyes, Would you be willing to join our department as a Special Advisor? Noticing Su Yus furrowed eyebrows, she hurriedly rified, A Special Advisor doesnt need to report to the department, you can continue staying at home ying your game. I will be the only one in contact with you, and youll be entitled to high-level government treatment. The establishment motto of the concerned department was To unite all of the possible forces to jointlybat the invaders. In ordance with this, she offered an olive branch to Su Yu instead of having him arrested. We can work together. Su Yu answered warily. Coborating with the department was bound to happen eventually one way or another. In the game, he needed arge number of people to collect materials after he built the Mage Tower. Outside the game, he needed more information about the specters to umte more experience. However My power level is still too low at the moment. Being underpowered doesnt make me influential. I need to level up fast! Su Yu sighed internally.. Chapter 71 - 71: 71, Meet the princess, Shadow Priest Xi Fan 1 Chapter 71: Meet the princess, Shadow Priest Xi Fan 1 Trantor: 549690339 After Xue Wenlis departure, Su Yu uses his magic to fortify the anti-theft door and windows then quickly dives into the game. When he left the game, there was still a countdown of 30 minutes left for the sixth round of The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire. Now, due to Xue Wenlis visit, precious time has dwindled down. Upon logging in, Su Yu appeared on the streets near the Schrs Temple. Checking the countdown, he found there were only five minutes left. In five minutes, Dima probably couldnt reach the Royal Pce. Su Yu sighed, looks like he had to run it himself. After checking the double movement speed equipment on him, staking his racing car-like speed, Su Yu started running swiftly through the streets. Five minutester, at the pce gate of Goldfinch City. Keerderon, d in pale golden armor, came out from the pce interior into the waiting room reserved for summoning. Just as he entered, he noticed the slightly panting Su Yu. What happened, Brother Nemesis? You look ghastly white and out of breath, did you go to Lark Street? The Elven female ves there are indeed exciting! Keerderon threw him a knowing look that every man would understand. Ahem, Im a genuine Schr. I wont go to that sort of ce. Su Yu wore the Senior Schrs Badge on his chest to prove the veracity of his words. This is a Senior Schrs Badge?! Keerderons eyes bulged out when he saw the badge. Senior Schrs are nomonmodity, within Goldfinch City, only a dozen or so would pass the assessment each year. Each Schr is the jewel of the Empire. Nemesis was a Senior Schr!? And he was so young?! Keerderon felt as if his position plummeted in front of Nemesis. Heh heh, I apologize for my previous rudeness, not knowing you are a Senior Schr Pleasee with me! Princess is waiting for you! Keerderon didnt appear as arrogant as when he assigned tasks to Su Yu. He bows and tters Su Yu, his voice filled with sheepishness. Lead the way. Su Yus expression didnt change, he followed Keerderon towards the inner pce. The Goldfinch Royal Pce was exceptionally deserted. Not even a ghost could be seen as they walked deep into the pce. The dust fallen upon the roads and buildings within the pce seemed to symbolise the downfall of the Goldfinch Empire. As they walked, Keerderon informed Su Yu about the current state of the pce. The rebel vanguards outside are now only fifty to sixty kilometers away from Goldfinch City. The Royal family doesnt have enough soldiers to defend Goldfinch City. Therefore, the Emperor and his family have already fled to Forest City, where he is rallying the lords and their armies to defend the kingdom. Those left to defend Goldfinch City include Princess Alyssa and the Goldfinch City Defense Force. However, the Princess is a mere figurehead, symbolically defending the city to reassure the citizens that they havent been abandoned by the royalty. When the enemy forces arrive at the city, the Princess will lead her forces out of Goldfinch City to join the Emperor. Of course, Su Yu was very much aware of this storyline, but he didnt interrupt Keerderon. Hearing it again would solidify his impression. As they progressed, asional guards appeared along the way and guards density gradually increased. In the hall where the guards were most densely packed, Su Yu saw Princess Alyssa. Alyssa sat on a tall throne. She was a girl of about 14 or 15. She wore an extravagant brown and white robe and aplicated headdress adorned with gems and pearls. However, her face was extremely cold. Upon seeing the princess, Keerderon immediately knelt down on one knee: Honorable Princess, this is the adventurer Nemesis that I mentioned to you. He was the one who ryed the news of Nemesiss attack on Nn Vige. Moreover, Nemesis is a Senior Schr. Oh? A Senior Schr? Upon hearing the title Senior Schr, a flicker of interest appeared in Princess Alyssas eyes. However, this flicker of interest was fleeting, her demeanor soon returned to indifference. Your Highness. Su Yu slightly bowed his head as a form of salutation. If it was before he received the Senior Schrs Badge, he would have had to kneel. But having received the badge, the ceremonies became much simpler. Princess Alyssa fell silent for a while, then said: I am already aware of the situation with the Star-forged Dragon King. However, the Empire has internal and external troubles, and the Royal family is powerless even if we wanted to help. Adventurer, go back and tell the vige head that I already know about the situation. Ill let the Foreign Affairs Department draft a severe letter of condemnation to be delivered to the Wind Chime Empire. The princess ended her speech. Just then, a gust of ck wind rushed in through the open pce doors. The guards seemed ustomed to it and paid no heed. The ck wind formed a tornado in the center of the grand hall. The tornado converged, gradually shaping into a priest dressed in a ck robe. From Su Yus perspective, he could see a name floating about the priest Shadow Priest Xi Fan. After Xi Fan appeared, he gave the princess a salutation, then said: Your Highness, I heard an otherworldly adventurer has arrived? Without waiting for a response, he stared straight at Su Yu, his eyes resembling a hungry wolf staring at a lone, plump sheep. Heh heh, Ive never seen the soul of an otherworldly adventurer before. What might it look like? Your Highness, how about rewarding him to me? Xi Fan moved his hand, and a lot of ck fog rushed towards Su Yu, binding him in the middle. Stop, Xi Fan! The princess frowned slightly, He is a Senior Schr from the Schrs Temple, each Schr is a gem of the Empire! Schrs Temple? Upon hearing the name, Xi Fan scoffed even more, If it were Silver Pine Tower, I would have some fears, but Schrs Temple? With those three old geezers from Sanctuary? Even if they all attacked together, they wouldnt match up to me! Xi Fan continued his spell, the ck fog surrounding Su Yu grew thicker and thicker. Su Yu tried to use the Senior Schrs Badge to dissipate the fog binding him, but it was futile. A feeling of soul-tearing agony washed over him and he briefly lost consciousness. When Su Yu woke up again, he found himself in a soul form, standing on a tform that looked like a ring. The ring was surrounded by pitch-ck fog. Opposite him on the ring stood an archer, on his head was a nameMaster Archer Zode. Beneath his name were his character attributes. Master Archer Zode Level: 11 Blood Points: 2000 Description: Has a full set of archer skills, likes winning matches and eating ice cream. At the same time, Su Yus main quest updated itself. Ding! Your main story has updated! The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (7/100) . Mission Brief: Your soul has been trapped within the Soul Realm of Shadow Priest Xi Fan. Mission Requirements: Defeat Master Archer Zode and escape the Soul Realm! Mission Reward: Skill Scroll Insight (Rare), Experience Points X1000.. Chapter 72 - 72: 72. (Master Level Hunter Zode) 1 Chapter 72: 72. (Master Level Hunter Zode) 1 Trantor: 549690339 The ss ranks in Evolution are divided ording to the maximum levels of each expansion pack. The first expansion pack Golden Sparrow Empire has a maximum level of 29, making yers at levels 10-29 called first-tier professionals; The second expansion pack has a maximum level of 49, making yers at levels 30-49 called second-tier professionals; The third expansion pack sees yers at levels 50-59, called the third-tier professionals; Levels 60-69 as the fourth-tier; Levels 70-74 as the fifth-tier; Levels 75-79 as the sixth-tier; Levels 80-84 as the seventh-tier; Levels 85-89 as the eighth-tier; Eighth-tier professionals are the pinnacle of strength both in and outside the game. There are only 12 eighth-tier professionals in the game, and there are only 15 such professionals among the Skuru people outside the game. Of course, although the expansion packs have level caps, most yers cant evene close to reaching them. In Su Yus previous life, a yearter when the Skuruunched a full-scale attack, the highest level cap was raised to level 84, seventh-tier professional, and most people were still hanging out in the third or fourth tier. The [Shadow Priest Xi Fan] Su Yu is facing is the chief adviser to Princess Alyssa, level 80, a seventh-tier shadow priest. There are no more than 130 creatures stronger than him in the game world. At this level, Xi Fan could kill Su Yu with a simple breath. But this is after all a game, to ensure yability, the main storyline will not give yers must-die missions, so Xi Fans control over Su Yu bes the Soul Realm Trial. The so-called Soul Realm is a system-simted NPC opponent simr to the yers strength and counteractive to the yers ss. Because Su Yu is a mage, his opponent is an archer who counters mages; If Su Yu was an archer, his opponent would be an assassin; If Su Yu was an assassin, his opponent would be a warrior. Moreover, Su Yus gear is very good, and his skills are epic-grade, so his simted opponent is [Master Hunter Zode], who possesses a full set of archer skills and has up to 2000 health points. As soon as the battle begins, Zode steps back from Su Yu and summons a [Magma Cerberus]. Face Garryxs fury! The [Magma Cerberus], who speaks humannguage, roared and pounced at su Yu. One of its heads can cast [Devour Magic], which is ready to go. If Su Yu were to cast a spell at it, it would be devoured by this head. The reason archers counter mages is because their range is longer than that of mages, allowing them tounch attacks from beyond the range of mages spells. At this moment, Zodes feather arrows are already whizzing towards Su But Su Yu didnt flinch at all. He nced at the two second-tier spell scrolls he had bought in the Schrs Temple and smiled subtly. The Magma Cerberus, zing withva all over its body, had already charged swiftly towards him. Su Yu quickly drank an [Intermediate Wisdom Potion], which boosted his intelligence by +20 points. He cast an [Ice Arrow] which was swallowed, then cast [Frost Nova] to freeze the Cerberus in ce. He cast a [sh Skill] to avoid Zodes shots and quickly ran toward Zode to close the distance. Once in range, [Lightning Bolt] and the second-tier spell scroll [Sequential Fireball] fired from Su Yus hand, hitting before the first spell. Zode was taken by surprise, not expecting Su Yus speed to be so fast. Faced with the [Lightning Bolt] and [Sequential Fireball], he quickly used [Leap Back] to dodge. During the leap back, Zode threw arge number of traps in front of him. A blue [Ice Trap], a red [Explosive Trap], and a green [Poison Snake Trap] The traps were numerous, nearly blocking the path for Su Yu to get close. Su Yu wasnt in a hurry, he waved his hand and activated the first-tier scroll [Summon Rock Elemental]. The sturdy rock elemental appeared in front of Su Yu, taking steady steps towards the trap formation. Click! Boom! Sssss! The Rock Element was sometimes frozen into white by frost; sometimes it was charred ck by fire; sometimes it stepped on strings of poisonous snakes paving a prickly path soaked in rock dust for Su Yu. Su Yu followed behind the Rock Element, using it as a cover, constantly casting spells at Zode. [Lightning Bolt], [Thunderfall Skill], [Lightning Bolt], [Ice Cone Skill] Although Zode had skills like [Back Jump], [Intimidation], [Spirit Turtle Guard], etc. to avoid Su Yus spells, skills after all had a cooldown time. -306 -142 -311 -132 Zodes health rapidly decreased, quickly dropping to less than 1000 under Su Yus onught. He attempted to deal maximum damage to the Rock Element,unching skills like [Snipe], [Aimed Strike], [Double Arrow Shot] one after another. The Rock Elements physical defense was very high, but Zodes damage was also not bad. Under his attack, the Rock Elements health was exhausted, and it crumbled into pieces on the ground. The Rock Element fell, greatly boosting Zodes spirits! But before he had a chance tounch an attack, Su Yu slightly smiled, activating the second-grade scroll, [Summoning Diamond Elemental]! A creature more massive and imposing than the Rock Element, a transparent, glittering stone Elemental, rose in front of Su Yu, causing endless despair in Zodes heart. At this point, Zode had been pushed to the corner of the ring, with no room to retreat. If ranged attacks didnt work, then melee was the only option remaining. Conveniently, the Magma Cerberus had broken out of its constraints, and under the order of [Killing Instruction], it pounced towards Su Yu. Zode decided to kill or be killed in a desperate fight. He put away his bow and arrow, took up his spear, and slid towards Su Yus position with a [Sliding Shove]. Su Yu noticed Zode and the Magma Cerberus getting closer, so he released [Frost Nova]. The tremendous ice ring exploded out from around him. Zode used [Back Jump] to interrupt [Sliding Shove] and avoid [Frost Nova]. However, he still had a rush skill, a [Harpoon Stab], that brought him directly in front of Su Yu. Sorry. Su Yus calm voice resonated in Zodes ear. Before Zode even had time to cast a skill, a fireball the size of a washbasin had already smashed into his face. The second-grade epic spell scroll [mestrike Skill]! 555! The firepletely filled Zodes vision, his entire body was sent flying by the massive fireball. And while he was still in mid-air, without a foothold, Su Yus [Lightning Bolt]unched another attack. -311 -313 The health bar of [Master-level Hunter Zode] emptied, he copsed halfway. You youre not honoring the martial arts! At thest moment of his life, Zode, lying on the ground, cried out in grief. If it had been about true strength, he would absolutely have been able to defeat this human being in front of him! But who knew that this humans scrolls were non-stop, and all of them were of the second grade! Who could withstand that? If there hadnt been any scrolls Zode copsed onto the ground, his thoughts stopping. The Magma Cerberus, seeing its master dead, entered a frenzied rage. Su Yu quickly used ice magic to cool it down, after casting several [Ice Arrows], it finally cooled down and went to join its master. Having dealt with this pair of enemies, Su Yu quietly exhaled in relief. Thankfully, the settings allowed him to use the scrolls even in his soul form, otherwise, this fight wouldnt have been easy.. Chapter 73 - 73: 73, I am a scholar of prophecy_1 Chapter 73: I am a schr of prophecy_1 Trantor: 549690339 You actually escaped from my Soul Realm? [Shadow Priest Xi Fan] looked at Su Yu in disbelief. Exactly how did a first-order mage escape? Having just freed himself from the Soul Realm, Su Yu was still reeling from the spiritual shaking. However, he tried to stay calm, saying in aposed tone, I am a senior schr, and wisdom is my most powerful weapon. I can think of at least 100 ways to escape that cage. Haha, 100 ways!ughed Xi Fan heartily. Well then, allow me to witness just what other means you have to escape that cage. Xi Fan made his move again, drowning Su Yu in a thick ck fog. Enough! Princess Alyssa stood up, her face stern. With a wave of her golden staff, a massive ice barrier appeared in front of Su Yu, shielding him from the ck fog. A Frost Engraving materialized behind her. It appeared that the princess was not only an Elemental Wizard, but also a Combat Mage, a ss that was only introduced in the sixth version. Xi Fan, let me repeat, every senior schr is a treasure to the kingdom! she said sharply. Xi Fans face shifted. This was the first time he had seen the princess casting a spell. However, he had obtained enough information through his probing. He had sessfully identified the princesss limits. Alright, for the princesss sake, I will spare you this time. Without even ncing at Su Yu, Xi Fan transformed into a shadowy wind and exited the royal hall. As for Princess Alyssa, just notify me if you need my services in the future. Xi Fans voice echoed in the hall as his wind form soared high up in the sky, disappearing from sight. Upon watching Xi Fan leave, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked towards the princess, who looked quite displeased. Xi Fan was bing more and more audacious, going as far as to openly defy her orders and arrest someone in front of her! However, there was no other choice. Now at a crucial point of survival, the princess needed Xi Fans strength. She couldnt afford to break off rtions with him. Nemesis, you need not return to Nn Vige for now. Stay by my side so that Xi Fan wont dare to act recklessly against you. Also, take this scroll. It can let you see through some soul-rted spells and prevent Xi Fans underlings from dealing with you. Once she finished, the princess took her seat on the throne again, revealing a fatigue on her face that belied her age. She then took out a scroll from her Space Ring and handed it to her steward, Keerderon, who in turn was to give it to Su Yu. Thank you, Princess. Once Su Yu received the scroll from Keerderon, he promptly chose to learn from it and managed to upgrade it to an Epic grade. [Insight (Epic)]: Allows one to see the level, attributes, and main skills of the target. The higher the targets level, the weaker the effect. Some traces of spiritual entities can also be seen. Note: When you use Insight, you will also be noticed by the target. Use it wisely. Then, Princess. Su Yu bowed slightly. What would you have me do when I am by your side? Despite my unimpressivebat prowess, as a senior schr who answered 26 out of 30 questions correctly in the examination, I believe I can make a considerable contribution to the empire with my wisdom. Oh? 26 questions? Princess Alyssa looked at Su Yu with a focused gaze. She was well aware of the senior schrs exam. Most senior schrs have to take the exam several times over several years, barely managing to pass with only 21 or 22 correct answers. 26 correct answers Perhaps only one person from Goldfinch City can achieve this in a year, and that person would certainly be a top-notch schr. Nemesis. Alyssa stood up, walked slowly toward Su Yu, and asked, Which field are you majoring in? Do you have a deep understanding of war and power tactics? Just then, Su Yu received a highlighted and bolded game notification that turned his entire game vision red: FBI WARNING: Your response will profoundly impact the main storyline, please answer carefully! Su Yusplexion changed slightly as he received this system prompt. However, things have alreadye to this and Su Yu decided to stick to his initial n. Princess, I am not very familiar with wars and power tactics. Really? A hint of disappointment shed in Alyssas eyes. However, I specialize in predicting the future. I can foresee the trend of wars and the future situation of the Empire. Su Yu smiled, his eyes filled with enigmatic amusement. Predict the situation? Alyssas eyes lit up. However, she was immediately on her guard. She was not a fool. Most who imed to predict the future were either frauds or chatans. But she nced at the Senior Schr Badge on Su Yus chest and asked tentatively, So, Mr. Predictor, can you foresee what I am thinking of doing next? Su Yu silently smiled, casting a nce at the surrounding guards. Understanding, the princess said, Keerderon, escort everyone out of the hall. Understood. Keerderon knelt down to receive themand then swiftly left the room with the guards in tow. Once the guards had fully exited the room, the princess erected a Soundproof Barrier, encapsting only her and Su Yu. You can speak now, right? Yes, said Su Yu calmly. If Im not mistaken, you meant to head to the enemys main camp, Maple City, to negotiate for time. Upon returning, you n to instigate a rebellion in Forest City to usurp your fathers position. Am I correct? The hand gripping Alyssas staff trembled slightly, though her facial expression didnt change. Canceling the Soundproof Barrier, she walked to the throne, saying as she walked, Absurd. I would never betray my father. You definitely guessed that wrong. Su Yu remained quiet with his smile. Only the princess herself knew what she really thought. However, Su Yu was confident in his guess. After all, he had read the script. However, Su Yu suddenly changed the topic, his tone bing sincere, The reason I came here was because I foresaw that victoryter on would side with you. For the glory of Goldfinch Empire, I am willing to fight alongside you always! I !! Alyssa turned to look at Su Yu. Ding! [Princess Alyssa]s affection for you increased by 1, from Indifferent to Cool. Ding! You gained 1 point in World Prestige. NPCs affection levels are categorized as Wary C Cool C Indifferent C Aware Friendly C Warm. However Who would have thought that even Princess Alyssa has affection levels? I dont remember hearing about any yer yielding affection from the princess in my past life Su Yu contemtively murmured. But he was interrupted by the princesss words. Sitting high on her throne, Alyssa looked down upon Su Yu, Nemesis, I will be hosting an important meeting in three days. It is about negotiating with Maple City. You will join us. Ding! Your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (8/100)]. Mission Requirement: Arrive at the front gate of Goldfinch Royal Pce promptly after 6 hours. Countdown 5:59:58. Mission Reward: 500 Experience Points.. Chapter 74 - 74: 74. Revival of the Strong in Ancient Times — Zhu Guorui 1 Chapter 74: 74. Revival of the Strong in Ancient Times Zhu Guorui 1 Trantor: 549690339 Starting in 6 hours? Thats fine, the game time wont affect the mission. Su Yu sighed in relief. He had only entered the game at 10:30 this morning. Taking into ount meal times and entertaining Xue Wenli for almost an hour, he could y until midnight seamlessly into the next day. So he didnt have to worry about failing the mission due tock of game time. Su Yu was walking along the main street in front of the Royal Pce, hand in hand with Dima. So what should I do for these six hours? Should I go to Orleans City to start Tinas main storyline? Su Yu rubbed his chin. Dima seemed to have read Su Yus thoughts. She quickened her steps to walk in front of Su Yu, gently nuzzling his chest with her forehead, seemingly hinting at something. How about I take you to find your master? Su Yu stroked Dimas mane. Hisss- Dima sounded a cheerful whinny, she was excited. Su Yu didnt say anything more, he got onto Dima and walked towards the teleportation formation to Orleans City. While they were on their way, Su Yu suddenly received a private message from Snow Fall: Na Na Na, senior, my brother is going to reach level 10 by tomorrow. He asked me to ask you if you want to join us in getting the first kill in the level 10 instance tomorrow? Youre reaching level 10 so soon? Su Yu opened up the level leaderboard. Of course, he was still in first ce, at level 11 with 96% experience. Those ranked second to tenth were all level 9, and below that was level 8. Moreover, everyone on the leaderboard had already made use of the 12 hours game time for the day, and could only move up to level 10 the next day. Su Yu: Well, tell your brother to open his Friend Request Switch, I want to add him as a friend, I have something else to ask him. Snow Fall: Okay, senior! Soon, a friend request was epted from Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard: Greetings, senior Zhang Jiao! Su Yu: You can call me Nemesis in the game. I wont be going to the level 10 dungeon, I have other things to do. The equipment and rewards from the level 10 dungeon wouldnt be of much use to Su Yu. The only thing that could benefit Su Yu was World Prestige, but the chances of earning World Prestige were very low, only about one in ten. Su Yu didnt want to waste two to three hours running the dungeon for a one in ten chance. Snow Leopard: Alright. Su Yu: By the way, I sensed an anomaly with the spirit energy fluctuation in the real world just now, it seemed like something happened in the southeastern direction, in East Sea City. What happened over there? Snow Leopard: Indeed, a major event urred in East Sea City, and your words were confirmed! The power in the game really can materialize in the real world Snow Leopard had already received Xue Wenlis report. He didnt hide anything, and sent a few hundred words of private chat message, describing the process of finding Skurus corpse, finding Su Yu in detail. Since Su Yu was a participant, he was very familiar with these circumstances. He replied: So what punishment did the Singer Civilization give to the Skuru people? Snow Leopard: The Singer Civilizationpletely wiped out the Skuru troops inside the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye Snow Leopard also ryed the message sent by the Singer Civilizations watchdog. At the end of the private chat, he testified happily: Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye is thergest spiritual spring eye in the world! Owning it now is like sending coal in snowy weather! However, Su Yu was slightly disappointed after reading the private message. He thought the punishment from the Singer Civilization would be harsher, like throwing out a two-way foil to turn Skuru Star into a two-dimensional entity. Now, they only get a giant spiritual spring eye, it seems that the Singer Civilization is more leaning towards the Skuru people. Su Yu: But dont be too happy too soon. Snow Leopard: Su Yu: Did you notice? Things have be a bit uneasy in the real world these days. Snow Leopard: Yes, it is not peaceful. ording to the statistics collected by relevant departments, traffic idents have urred frequently across the country in thest two days, especially today, which is at least three times higherpared to the same period in previous years! We suspect that the Skuru people are behind these incidents, but we have not yet figured out how they did it. Su Yu: Its ghosts. Snow Leopard: Ghosts? As a staunch materialist, Snow Leopard certainly doesnt believe that such things as ghosts exist in the world. Of course, the ghost wandering on the continent of Europa is an exception. But now, hearing it from Su Yu, he slightly believed it. Snow Leopard: Ghosts? What kind of ghosts? Su Yu: Ghosts are entities in the form of souls, a small part of them are remnants from ancient times, most of them are projections created by the Skuru people. Because they dont have physical bodies, physical attacks like guns and bullets have little effect on them, they are extremely difficult to deal with, the increase in traffic idents are also their doing. Snow Leopard: So how should we deal with them? Su Yu: After advancing to level 50 and materializing power, you can use spells to eliminate them. Alternatively, some of the revived abilities can also kill ghosts. Snow Leopard: Advancing to level 50? Thats at least several months away! We cant wait that long But speaking of revived abilities, weve contacted another one apart from you. Su Yu: Who is it? Snow Leopard: He calls himself Zhu Guorui, from the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Guorui?! The surprised Su Yu almost jumped off Dimas back, causing her to neigh. If Su Yu remember correctly, only one emperor from the Ming Dynasty had changed his destiny and remained alive, and he was that founding emperor, whose honorific name was Guorui! He didnt expect that the relevant departments would have made contact with him so soon! Calming his emotions, Su Yu took a deep breath and replied: You tell Zhu Guorui and that young friend who has already materialized his powers about the ghosts. As far as we know, only the three of us can effectively harm ghosts. To effectively kill ghosts on arge scale, they still need to rely on the Ghost Searching Ruler, which is the true ghost-killing weapon. Initially, Su Yu nned to do it himself, assisting the relevant departments to manufacture the Ghost Searching Ruler. But since they have contacted Mr. Zhu, hell have Mr. Zhu to do it! Making the Ghost Searching Ruler is simple, the only tricky part is that it requires the help of the Spiritual Spring Eye. Now that they have the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye in hand, it would be easy for Mr. Zhu to create the Ghost Searching Ruler. Su Yu: When you go find Zhu Guorui and that young friend, dont go empty-handed. Bring them some spiritual energy from the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye, both the revived powerful beings and the new generation of young people are in need of it. Snow Leopard: Understood, senior! Should I personally deliver your share of spiritual energy? Su Yu: No need, Im currently secluding myself in a secret ce near Changan. Ordinary people cant find me here, and I dont feel like going out Ill contact you if somethinges up! Snow Leopard: Alright, Ill take care of it after logging out.. Goodbye, senior! Chapter 75 - 75: 75. (Centaur’s Lingering Feelings) _1 Chapter 75: 75. (Centaurs Lingering Feelings) _1 Trantor: 549690339 After the private chat, Su Yu spent 500 spiritual energy coins to teleport to Orleans City. Buzz The teleportation magic circle erupted with a deafening roar. Apanied by a dazzling white light, Su Yus figure disappeared into the massive magic circle. Long-distance transportation usuallyes with some negative status effects. For instance, after teleporting, Su Yu felt dizzy, nauseous, and unsteady. But Su Yu was prepared. After drinking a bottle of [phase potion] he bought from the teleportation gate mage, his symptoms of dizziness were significantly reduced. At this moment, a system prompt arrived on time: Ding! Congrattions on sessfully starting the main plot [Orleans City Saint 1/100]. Task requirements: Go to 213 Pinecone Street to meet Tina. Reward: 200 Experience Points. [Orleans City Saint]! Su Yu gazed at Orleans City in front of him and sighed faintly. The first expansion had four main quests, one each for Tina and the princess, and two for the rebels. He did not expect that in this life, he would scoop both plotlines of the winning side, and he wondered which lucky yer would get the rebels ones. Lets go, Dima, to see your master. Su Yu patted Dimas neck and proceeded towards the city along the street. Main quests are difficult toplete, side quests are slightly easier. So, Su Yu decided toplete the [Centaurs Lingering Feelings] side quest first before focusing on the main quest. Orleans City is arge city in the southwest of the Empire, with a poption of 3-4 hundred thousand permanent residents. Being far from the warfront, the streets were peaceful and full of song and dance, and peoples faces were filled with smiles. At the Warriors Guild, Su Yu found the Warrior Instructor, the beautiful Quinn. Outside the guilds gate, Quinn looked at Dima with a headache, Adventurer, you were right to guess that Tina indeed left this horse behind in the vige in order to be a unicorn knight. Tina also has deep affections for this horse, but theres nothing she can do. Given the pride of unicorns, they absolutely wouldnt allow a knight to have another mount. It seemed that Dima could understand humannguage and lowered its head to the ground, listless. Su Yu shrugged, What should we do then? Right now, this little mare is losing interest in food and drink, losing weight day by day. If this continues, shes sure to fall ill. If she dies, wont Tina feel even worse? Hearing Su Yus words, Dima very cooperatively acted weak. Trembling as if she might copse at any moment. Perhaps we could call Tina over, let her make the decision? Quinn suggested, massaging her aching forehead. Good, I was thinking the same thing. During the third phase of the quest, Tina came to the Warriors Guild to see Dima. Wuu wuu, Anna, Ive missed you so much! Tina hugged Dimas neck, crying heartbrokenly. Anna was the name she had given to Dima. Tears flowed from Dimas eyes too, as she whinnied in pain. A woman and a horse, hugging and weeping together. Quinn, arms crossed, didnt know what to say as she watched this emotional sight. After a while, she finally sighed, Tina, theres no use crying. This isnt solving anything. You need to carefully consider what has to be done in the future. Ive decided! Tina stopped crying and stood up straight, Im going to take Anna to the Unicorn Troops and make her my mount! Have you lost your mind? Quinn was taken aback, Bringing an ordinary horse to join the Unicorn Troops? Their leader will never allow it! No problem. Tina spoke determinedly, I want to prove to the troop leader that the strength of a Unicorn Knight lies in the knight, not the unicorn! As long as I can defeat an official unicorn knight riding on Anna, I have the right to be part of the troop! Then she turned to Su Yu with her big, tear-stained eyes, Adventurer, will you help me? But at this moment, she recognized Su Yu, Its you, Nemesis?! I cant believe you actually came to Orleans City to find me! (She had been too focused on Dima earlier and hadnt noticed Su Yu.) Yes, its me. Su Yu smiled, walked over, and took Tinas small hand, Lets solve Annas problem together, dont worry, I will do my best to help you! Tha Thank you. Tinas cheeks flushed. The following stage 3 to 8 tasks were very simple for Su Yu, as they were all monster hunting tasks. Su Yu apanied Tina in killing wild beasts, challenging elite opponents, and eliminating bosses. The defeated monsters yielded a vast amount of materials, which Tina took to a strengthener called Kelly in the city, who enhanced her entire collection of equipment. Armed head to toe with +6 enhancements, she glistened with power! While enhancing herself, Tina also made sure to boost Dimas stats. She asked the citys best cksmith to forge a set of armour for Dima, which was then steeped in the essence of a monster. Due to the essence imbued, Dimas attributes have significantly improved! Dima used to move rather sluggishly with a bad weight capacity, making it so that even Su Yu, d in leather armor, would be huffing and puffing. After the enhancements, however, Dima appeared to be in excellent form; bearing Tina equipped with a full suit of armour and holding a hugence, they were as swift as the wind. For the 9th stage of the quest, Tina was officially challenging a fully-fledged unicorn knight. Orleans Citys main arena. The arena was packed to the rafters, with many local residentsing to watch the match. The twopetitors were the genius girl, Tina, riding an ordinary horse, and the battle-hardened knight, Ruiel, on a pure white unicorn. In the minds of ordinary citizens, Tina, who was riding an ordinary horse, represented themon people, whereas Ruiel, who was riding a pure white unicorn, represented the nobility. The official betting odds were set at 1.2:3.6, a win for Ruiel would be 1.2 times the bet, while a win for Tina would be 3.6 times the bet. Over 90% of the citizens bet on Ruiels victory, but that did not stop them from cheering for Tina, hoping that she could triumph over the noble ss as a representative of themon people. Su Yu also bet a million on Tinas victory, as a gesture of support. It wasnt that he didnt want to bet more, but the officials directly set a betting limit, much to his confusion. On the viewing stand, the upper echelons of the Unicorn Knight team were quietly discussing the duel below, looking very confident. The battle began. As everyone had expected, Tina was immediately put on the defensive. Ruiel had richbat experience and a mighty mount in the form of the unicorn, which not only was majestic but also had the ability to cast light magic spells, giving Ruiel a huge advantage. This gave her a huge upper hand. But against all odds, Tina held on miraculously. She was like a small boat floating in a violent storm, each wave trying to swallow her, but she kept struggling, always managing to re-emerge on the surface. The battle reached a stalemate. Twenty minutester, the battle finally drew to a climax. After a fierce struggle, there were more than a dozen bloody holes in both Tina and Dima. Lying on the ground, Dima was at deaths door. Tina was semi-kneeling on the ground,boriously covering the wound on her abdomen with her hand. However, the determination on her face remained unchanging. On the other side, Ruiel was also pale, though her wounds were much lighterpared to Tina and her unicorn was constantly releasing [Healing Skill] to heal her wounds. Ruiel pointed hernce at Tina and slowly began to walk towards her, saying: Surrender! For holding your own against me on an ordinary horse, you can count as the strongest among your peers. But what do you have left to fight me now? Tinas head drooped, seemingly unable to hold on any longer. But just then, a mischievous glint shed in the corner of her eyes. Youve fallen for it! What? Take this! Tina pointed the [Viges Best Sword] which Su Yu had given her at Ruiel. ng! The rusty de fell to the ground; Ruiel was stunned for 3 seconds.. Chapter 76 - 76: 76. Earned over three million spiritual energy coins! 1 Chapter 76: 76. Earned over three million spiritual energy coins! 1 Trantor: 549690339 Three seconds may seem momentary, but for warriors fighting for their lives, its the difference between life and death. With thest dredges of her strength, Tina lunges forward, her spear tip piercing through the air with a high-pitched shriek aimed at Swirls abdomen. Swirl instinctively tries to lift her spear to parry. But to her astonishment, she found herself out of control, unable to lift even a pinky finger! Thud! The spear impales Swirls abdomen, her substantial inertia carrying her through the air and eventually being pinned to the ground by Tina. Swirls Unicorn mount, unprepared for this sudden turn of events, lets out a terrified neigh. It rushes to cast [Healing Skill] on Swirl while trying to attack Tina with its sharp horn. But its useless. Tina pulls her spear from Swirls body and drives it through the Unicorns chest with a Spinning Spear attack. Then the spear tip draws a graceful arc in mid-air, finally stopping just a few centimeters away from Swirls neck. 11 concede. Facing the threat of death, Swirl could only admit defeat. Despite being unclear why she could not move earlier, an arena rule holds: only the ones who survive are the winners, regardless of the tactics used. Around the grand arena, in the spectators seats. In the face of this unexpected turn of events, all the spectators were stunned into silence. Suddenly, a booming roar of anger rose from the audience: It must be a fixed match, right? Why didnt the Unicorn Knightess dodge or block? She stood there like an idiot and got stabbed! I smell a rat! This gambling session does not count! The vigers who had cheered for Tina just a moment ago immediately turned hostile, standing up and swearing loudly. After all, supporting Tina verbally was merely a show of their noble spirit, but when it came to betting, no one wanted their interests to suffer. On the observation deck, the high-ranking officials of the Unicorn Knights were also surprised, standing up and staring at Tina below in disbelief. They were profoundly shocked by Tinas sudden turnaround and also mourned for their pocket money. Many of them had bet on Swirl, and now that she faltered, their pocket money simply went down the drain. But these officials were of too low rank, and none noticed that the [Vige Chiefs Best Sword] was causing the turnaround. They could only attribute Swirls failure to her carelessness, ruing their misfortune. Meanwhile, Su Yu cheerfully went to the ce where the bets were being taken outside the arena. The vige chiefs power is immense, which is evident from the fact that he withstood the breath of the Star-forged Dragon King and the princess gave him much importance. If the vige chief is powerful, then his sword mustnt be ordinary. The vige chief once told Su Yu, With it, I did not lose a single match in ten years! Switching it over onto Tina, she would not lose holding the vige chiefs sword either. This insight allows Su Yu to strike it rich in the bet! The one responsible for the betting table was a goblin entrepreneur named Veena ckgold. Watching Su Yu approach, his face went pale. Su Yu walked up to Veena ckgold and grinned at him, I bet one million spiritual energy coins on Tinas victory. ording to the odds, I should have won 3.6 million. Am I right? Ah, such hard luck! Veena ckgold, ultimately dispirited, took out a ck Magic Crystal Card and handed it to Su Yu: I was nning to go back home to get married after running this betting pool, and I didnt expect not to make any money, instead having to pay you hundreds of thousands of coins! Young man, are you sent to punish me by the God of Goblins? Su Yu ignored him, took the ck Magic Crystal Card and looked at it. The ck Magic Crystal Card is a pure ck card made of Magic Crystal, disying a white figure C 3-34 million. (The missing 260,000 are the deductions and taxes.) Su Yu can see the properties of the Magic Crystal Card via the [Insight] spell: [ck Magic Crystal Card] Special Item Spiritual Energy Coin Storage Limit: 3.34 million/100 million Note: Backed by Goblin Bank, universally epted! Su Yu attached the ck Magic Crystal Card to his bag, and suddenly, his bag was richer by 3-34 million Spiritual Energy coins! Its easier to earn from NPCs! Unlike Emperor Blood ys the Sky, that poor sod, sold [Fatal Strike] Scroll for just over eight thousand Spiritual Energy Coins. Su Yu thought cheerfully. Recently, he had spent 150,000 Spiritual Energy Coins upgrading skills and the [Vige Chiefs Staff], but now he had made his money back in one go, and even had some surplus Spiritual Energy Coins in his bag. He nced at his bag, seeing the Spiritual Energy Coins amounted to 7,381,926,502. Su Yu was feeling terrific, and with a smile, he asked Veena ckgold, Im satisfied with the proceeds this time. Will you be running a betting service like this in the future? When will the next betting session start? There wont be a next time! Veena ckgold, looking disgruntled, pulled the curtain down in front of him, separating himself from Su Yu. Su Yu didnt say anything; he went back to the arena happily. As for Veena ckgolds ck Magic Crystal Card, since he didnt say he wanted it back, Su Yu didnt hesitate to take it. After all, such top-tier Magic Crystal Cards that can store up to a hundred million Spiritual Energy Coins are rare! If sold, they could easily fetch at least ten thousand Spiritual Energy Coins, a valuable asset. Moving through the angry crowd, Su Yu spotted Tina, half-kneeling in the center of the grand arena. Tina was severely injured, with her lifeblood seeping out, staining the ground red. Nearby only a single priest was casting [Healing Skill] on her, just barely keeping her injuries in check; As for Dima. Badly injured, Dima was gasping near death in a pool of blood. Su Yu didnt want Dima to die. He quickly ran up to the viewer stands, where the [Temple of Light] faction had gathered. The [Temple of Light] is the top faction in the country, consisting mostly of Holy Knights and priests. At the moment, these Holy Knights and priests were discussing how much theyve lost, until Su Yu arrived. Upon reaching the stands, Su Yu loudly appealed to the priests, Respected priests, could you please help heal the little mare below? She is on the brink of death! The priests turned their heads to look at Su Yu. After spotting the [Advanced Schrs Badge] on Su Yu, they all showed contemptuous expressions: An advanced schr? A heretic without faith? You schrs are only seeking knowledge, right? Then use your knowledge to save it. We are priests of stature; how could we save an animal? Exceptionally true! That beast cost me a lot of money, it deserves to die! The priests cursed, none of them willing to help. To them, faithless schrs were even more disgusting than heretics. However, Su Yu slightly smiled. He took out the ck Magic Crystal Card, and deposited 100,000 onto it. Then, holding up the card high, he showed the figure to the group of priests, Help me heal that little mare, 10,000 Spiritual Energy Coins for each person! I need ten priests.. Whos in? Chapter 77 - 77: 77, Blood of Tina_l Chapter 77: Blood of Tina_l Trantor: 549690339 My holy light! Its actually a ck Magic Crystal Card, the maximum limit of this kind of card is one billion, isnt it! One thousand spiritual energy coins for one attempt? Are you kidding? Kid, how do you see me? The priests enthusiastically gathered around Su Yu, a stark contrast to their previous dismissive attitude. You wont do. Su Yu points at the first priest who spoke to him. Didnt you call me a heretic? How could you ept a heretics money? Heh heh, it was all a misunderstanding. The priest wore a ttering smile on his face: Knowledge is also a kind of faith. How can we say that you are a faithless heretic? What do you all think? Yes yes yes. Of course knowledge is faith! Every belief should be respected. The priests were all pretending to be righteous. Su Yu couldnt be bothered with mocking these priests, as Dimas life was currently hanging by a thread and needed immediate treatment. Alright, follow me. Su Yu waved his hand, leading the priests rapidly towards the dueling field. At the same time, in the center of the dueling field. Anna, dont die! Dont die Tina cradles Dimas neck, who had fallen in a pool of blood, crying like a child. She was so focused on defeating Nemesis that she failed to notice Dimas condition. After defeating Nemesis, she turned back to find her closestpanion on the brink of death, leaving her despondent. Even though she proved herself by defeating Nemesis, if Dima dies, whats the point? Tina was inconsble. However, Dima remained calm. Even though her death was imminent, she felt fulfilled having fought alongside her master until the end and ultimately dying in her masters arms. Even in herst moments, Dima lifted her head and let out a soft neigh as if tofort her master. Tina, trembling slightly, held onto Dimas neck. But, she suddenly thought of a rather unappealing figure in her mind. The figure who helped her escape Baron Wilsons clutches, helped her defeat monsters, enhance her strength, and helped her negotiate with the mighty trader [Kelly] Now in the most painful moments of her life, would that figure still appear? Tina raised her head in confusion, looking for Su Yus figure. Just then. Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Arge amount of Holy Light energy flew from the entrance of the dueling field into Dimas body. This Holy Light energy was brimming with healing power. In a matter of breaths, Dima was pulled back from the brink of death, her wounds began to heal and even slowly recover. This. this Tina was overjoyed! She looked towards the source of the Holy Light energy, spotting a golden figure shining in the light. That figure was of course Su Yu. Approaching Tina, Su Yu extended his hand, Dont worry Tina, Anna will be fine. I called over ten priests to treat her, everyone is very enthusiastic! Thank you! Nemesis! Ovee with emotion, Tina threw herself straight into Su Yus arms, hugging his neck and burying her head in his chest. Feeling Su Yus heartbeat, Tina was radiating with an unparalleled sense of happiness! Ding! [Tina Garcia] has increased her favorability towards you by +30, raising the favorability level to attention. Seeing this game prompt, Su Yu was startled. So, Tina is Garcia! In his past lifes memories, the protagonist of [Saintess of Orleans City] was a girl named Garcia. Su Yu originally thought he could get to know Garcia through Tina in the main storyline, but unexpectedly, Tinasst name turned out to be Garcia, which Moreover, Tinas favorability rose by a whopping 30 points, which took him by surprise. In his previous life, the favorability ratings of those NPCs were honed by persistent efforts bit by bit. A sudden jump of 30 points He had never heard of it before in his previous life. Maybe I can try to maximize Tinas favorability in the first expansion. Su Yu pondered in silence. However, dealing with Tina is more important right now. Su Yu patted the young girl in his arms on the back, Tina, I was just doing what I should. Congrattions on your victory! Tina lifted her head from Su Yus arms and looked at his face seriously, How should I thank you? After a moment, it seemed she made up her mind. This is what Ill do! Tina picked up the [Vige Good Sword] that fell on the ground and then wiped some blood from her wound onto it. Despite the intense pain making her grimace, Tina still smeared the fresh blood onto the [Vige Good Sword]. DingC The [Vige Good Sword] burst into a dazzling golden light upon contact with the fresh blood! The whole rusty de was coated in ayer of gold. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the ninth cycle of [Centaurs Lingering Feelings], you have acquired the prop [Vige Good Sword (Gold)], Experience Points X500. [Vige Good Sword (Gold)] Remaining uses: 9 Usage: Point the sword at the target and shout, See the sword! Effect: The de will shatter and fall to the ground. If the targets level is not more than 10 levels higher than yours, they will fall into a [Stunned] state,sting 3 seconds. Note: Dont forget to glue the broken de back on after use! Su Yu: Tinas blood can actually upgrade consumables to gold? Su Yu looked at the fresh blood of Tina scattered on the dueling field, wondering if the blood on the ground could also be used?! His eyes lit up, and he quickly took out a [Primary Mana Potion] from his backpack, poured it out, and then used the empty bottle in conjunction with mana to collect Tinas blood from the ground. The blood that fell on the ground quickly dried up, but using mana, he could still extract the blood from the ground. After collecting about 10 drops of fresh blood, the bottles properties changed. [Blood of Tina (consumable)] Use on an item to 100% elevate the item to gold quality. Note: The rarer and higher the level of the upgraded item, the lower the chance of upgrading, dropping to a minimum of 1%. Remark: Divine Bloodlines, as terrifying as this. This its worth a fortune in thete game! Su Yu praised repeatedly. In theter stages of the game, many powerful epic and even legendary equipments cannot be brought back to reality. Tinas blood can actually turn them into gold! Although the chance is low, there are no side effects at all. Without further thoughts, Su Yu hurriedly continued collecting the fresh blood. Tina watched Su Yus actions, looking puzzled, Nemesis, what are you doing? Im collecting your blood on the ground! Your blood can turn the sword gold, can it not? Tina was a bit embarrassed, My blood can turn equipment gold, but its just for looks, it doesnt power the equipment. Its ok, I just like gold. Su Yu turned to the priests behind him, Dont just stand there! Come and help me collect the blood! How could we? We are noble priests! Im adding more pay! 5,000 to each! Alright! The priests flocked over, took the empty bottles from Su Yus hands, bent down and collected the blood on the ground.. Chapter 78 - 78: 78, Tina’s side story ends, main story begins_l Chapter 78: Tinas side story ends, main story begins_l Trantor: 549690339 Through the relentless efforts of Su Yu and the priests of the Holy Temple, they finally collected 106 drops, which is a little over 10 portions of [Tinas Blood]. The game setting and the real world are a bit different. In the real world, 1 milliliter approximately equals to 20 drops of blood, whereas in the game, the volume of [one drop of blood] approximates to 1 milliliter. Thus, 106 drops is equal to 106 milliliters, which is far less than what Tina lost in the entire battle, with the rest being lost. But its okay, Su Yu looked at Tina, eyes burning with intensity, we still have a long way to go in the main storyline! Moreover, as a warrior, Tina is sure to fight. We wont have to worry about not being able to collect fresh blood! Whats wrong with you? Tina felt uneasy under Su Yus gaze. Nothing, Tina, Su Yu walked over, giving her shoulder an affectionate pat, Now that youve defeated Nemesis, whats your next step? Of course, I want to confront the Legionmander and get her permission to let me join the Legion with Anna! Tina clenched her fists. Alright, Ill go with you. Su Yu nodded. After leaving the main Colosseum, the ninth phase of [Centaurs Lingering Feelings] ended, and the tenth phase officially began. However, the tenth phase of the quest wasnt as family-friendly, but rather carried a touch of tragedy. At the entrance to the grand Colosseum, themander of the Unicorn Knights, Grace, had been waiting for a long time. Tina, Ive given it serious thought, I cant let you join the knight order with a regr horse, said the middle-aged Grace, her face stern. Why! I clearly defeated Nemesis! Tina was on the verge of breaking down. For the discipline and glory of the Unicorn Knights! The addition of amon horse will certainly affect thebat capacity of the entire unicorn herd! But Tina and Commander Grace began a lengthy argument. In the end, Grace yed her trump card: Now, the rebels have reached Imperial City, Goldfinch, and the Empire is in grave danger. The Unicorn Knights might be the Empiresst hope! And Tina, youre the one who can lead the Unicorn Knights to glory in the future! For your future, and for the future of the Empire, can you let go of this ordinary horse? Alright okay. In the face of reality, Tina finally chose to submit and was forced to part with Dima. At the entrance to the Warrior Guild. At this original starting point, under the witness of the Warrior Supervisor Quinn, Tina handed Dima to Su Yu. Nemesis, from now on, shes in your hands. I hope youll treat her well, Tina handed over Dimas reins to Su Yu, her expression dim. Dima, too, sensed that she was about to part with her old master, and hung her head discouraged. Dont worry, Ill take good care of her, Su Yu assured. At the same time, the game prompt appeared in a timely manner. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the rare hidden mission [Centaurs Lingering Feelings], earned 2000 Experience Points, [Vige Good Horse] x 1. The Experience Points rewarded for the quest were quite substantial, Su Yu was now level 12 and needed 14000 Experience Points to level up, 2000 Experience Points represented one-seventh of his experience bar. As for the rewards from the whole hidden quest, besides Experience Points, the earlier phases of the quest gave mostly equipment and spiritual energy coins. What brought about significant improvement to Su Yu was the golden [Vige Good Sword] and 10 portions of [Tinas Blood]. But after all the twists and turns, Dima was back in Su Yus hands. However, Dima, after being strengthened by Warcraft blood, was no longer the thin mare she used to be. Then, I should go. See you next time if fate allows! Tina shed a couple of tears, looking dejectedly at the street to the north. Wait! Su Yu called out to her. Whats up? Tina turned around. Lets talk about this at your ce. Su Yu replied. What Su Yu intended to do, of course, was toplete the first phase of the main storyline, which required visiting Tinas home in Orleans City, specifically at 213 Pinecone Street. Go to my ce? Could it be that Nemesis is hinting Tina seemed to have a sudden realization and blushed slightly. But she didnt refuse and took Su Yus hand generously: Lets go, Nemesis, youre wee to visit my home! Su Yu paused in surprise, it seemed Tina had misunderstood something. But he didnt rify and allowed Tina to lead him towards Pinecone Street. After the pair walked away. Watching their retreating figures, Quinn, who had been ignored on the side, crossed her arms and sighed: Ah! Young people these days! They are bing more and more open-minded. Should I join them? A thought suddenly surfaced in her mind. Quinn was startled by her sudden thought and hastily pped herself: What am I thinking? Then she blushed and fled into the Warrior Guild. 213 Pinecone Street was Tinas home in Orleans City. It was a two-story white single-family vi with a yard full of delicate flowers. Tina had bought this house after she arrived in Orleans City. During her time in Orleans City, Tina had worked hard and earned quite a sum of money. With over 1000 spiritual energy coins she had earned, plus two hundred thousand given by her father, she finally bought this house. Nemesis, let me show you around my house! Tina opened the door with her keys, meanwhile turning back to talk to Su Yu who was standing behind her. Okay alright. Looking at the blush on Tinas face, Su Yu was at a loss for words. But just as Tina set foot in the door, the blush on her face suddenly disappeared, reced by a serious look. Tina turned around, looking solemnly at Su Yu, Hello, Nemesis! Ive been in Orleans City for quite a while, but Im only level 10 and still far from being strong. I must be stronger immediately! The Zanga Marsh to the west of the city is infested with a tribe of Hydra. Their blood can make me stronger quickly! Will you help me eradicate them? Ding! Your main quest has been updated! [Orleans Citys Saintess (2/100)]. Quest requirement: Assist Tina in exterminating Zanga Marshs Hydra Tribe, eradicate [Marsh Hydra] x 30, [Cave Hydra] x 30, [Bitter Tide Hydra (Elite)] x 5, [Marsh Hydra (Leader)] x 1. Quest reward: Experience Points x 1000, [Travelers Ring (Rare)]. Su Yu noticed the sudden change in Tinas face and knew that it must have been due to the turn of the main storyline that he lost his chance to get closer to Tina. He was a bit disappointed. However, he came to y the game to enhance his abilities, not to woo girls, so he didnt regret much. There will be plenty of chances in the future. Lets go, Tina. I will assist you in exterminating the Hydra tribe! Su Yu took out his staff from his backpack.. Chapter 79 - 79: ’79. Tina, who has risen 10 levels in one go, prepayment_l reward Chapter 79: 79. Tina, who has risen 10 levels in one go, prepayment_l reward Trantor: 549690339 An hourter, in Zanga Marsh. Zanga Marsh, located to the west of Orleans City, is the territory of marsh creatures like the [Marsh Hydra] and [Marsh Giant Crocodile]. A year-round haze of green fog hangs above the marsh, almost blotting out the sun from the view of those inside. As for underneath the marsh. There were many roars of [Hydras] echoing from the marshes earlier, but they gradually subsided alongside the sounds of sword shes and magical explosions. Through the green haze, one could just barely see the bodies of Hydras, dead and yet to respawn. Of course, these Hydra corpses were the handiwork of Su Yu and Tina. Currently, Su Yu was sitting atop thergest Hydras corpse, looking utterly exhausted. This Hydra was indeed the [Marsh Hydra Boss] required for the quest; a Level 12 rare-quality boss. Based on Su Yus proficiency at grinding down the Wolf King in the novice vige, and with Tinas assistance, defeating a boss of this level should have been a piece of cake. However, once they actually engaged in battle, they found this boss to be quite a tough nut to crack. First, this boss could attack from a distance; its three heads could spew toxins, mes, and frost, and they were all area-of-effect spells. Dealing with melee bosses like the Wolf King was easy for Su Yu, but when up against ranged bosses, he could only put up the [Lightning Shield], tank the hits, use the sh Skill to move quickly, or rely on his moving speed and prediction to avoid the hits when out of other options. And if the fight dragged on long enough, the [Marsh Hydra Boss] would enter the [Berserk State], with at least a 60% increase in attack speed and casting speed, its three heads shooting spells like a magical machine gun! So after ying the [Marsh Hydra Boss], Su Yu was so tired he just sat atop the bosss corpse, even considering taking a nap right there. However, Su Yus efforts were not in vain as the boss dropped five items: Chainmail [Bone Chain Leggings (Rare) Iv12], te Armor [Cast Iron Headdress (Rare) Iv12], Skill Scroll [Rain of Fire (Superior)], Skill Scroll [Berserk Recovery (Superior)], and [Marsh Hydras Poison Sac (Rare)] x1. [Berserk Recovery] is a Druid skill in bear form, which uses rage to recover 30% of total health. The only item useful for Su Yu was the Skill Scroll of [Rain of Fire]. Without much thought, Su Yu directly chose to learn it, upgrading it to epic quality. [Rain of Fire (Rare)]: Meteorites of fire fall from the sky, causing 360% spell damage to all enemies in the target area (8-meter radius) within 3 seconds, and put the enemies in [Burning] status for 3 seconds. Casting time of 1 second, cooldown of 8 seconds, consumes 40 Mana Points. Ding. Please choose the enhancement direction of [Rain of Fire]: 1. [Wildfire]: Duration increased by 30%; 2. [Quick Cool Down]: Cool Down reduced by 2 seconds. Choose 1. The enhancement directions for [Rain of Fire] were pretty much the same, but considering that his AoE spells would increase in the future, Su Yu chose to prioritize increasing damage. After learning [Rain of Fire], Su Yus AoE damage capabilities improved significantly! Previously, his only AoE spell was [sh Chain]. Now, with thebination of [sh Chain] and [Rain of Fire], his offensive capabilities were noticeably stronger. The [Marsh Hydra Boss] was covered with immense scales that felt somewhat like snake scales C soft and slippery to the touch. After a period of rest sitting on the scales, Su Yu looked down at Tina. Tina, did you get injured and bleed during the fight just now? No, why do you ask? Never mind. Su Yu jumped off the corpse of the [Marsh Hydra Boss], kicking its body harshly a few times. What a useless thing! He had originally been hoping to collect some [Blood of Tina] from this fight, but that n was now spoiled. Now that this monster is taken care of, what do you n to do? Su Yu looked at Tina. Tina was also rather worn out from the battle and had been resting on the ground for a while. Hearing Su Yus words, Tina mustered her strength to stand up. Of course, I want to collect its vital blood. My talent allows me to absorb vital blood from monsters to enhance my abilities, but it only works if Im the one to kill them. Tina held her sword to her chest, beginning to umte her wrath. A pale golden wrath overflowed from within her, surrounding her. She now seemed like a miniature golden figure. With a deep breath, she executed a powerful sh! The weapon de shone with a golden glow. Crack! The hydra chieftains head separated from its neck effortlessly. A massive amount of dark green blood spurted out from the corpse, covering Tina entirely. Tina could have avoided it, but she chose not to. As soon as the dark green blood came into contact with her body, it permeated directly into her. At the same time, the pale golden wrath around Tina became thicker and thicker. Boom! The pale golden wrath exploded open when it reached a certain concentration, as bright as the sun, hurting anyone who tried to look at it. Su Yu immediately activated [Insight] to look at Tinas current state. Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 16 upation: Warrior Hobby: Fawning over cats, sweets. Tina actually jumped from level 10 to 16? Is this the power of her bloodline? Su Yu eximed in surprise. And Tina didnt stop there. She took out the vital blood she had collected from other hydras from a backpack lying nearby and poured it directly onto herself. A vast amount of blood was absorbed, and Tinas level skyrocketed! When she had absorbed all the blood in her backpack, Su Yu used [Insight] on her again. Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 20 upation: Warrior Hobby: Fawning over cats, sweets, blood absorption. She was now at level 20! Nemesis, my strength has greatly increased! I believe Ill be able to reach the second tier in no time! Filled with her burgeoning wrath, Tina was ecstatic. Congrattions. Su Yu congratted her, his tone somewhat sour: Ah, I wish I could also increase my strength as quickly as you! No wonder shes the first installments heroine, her leveling is fast! If the Blue Star Humans could also level up as fast as Tina, the Skuru might have to start worrying. Hmm.. Upon hearing Su Yus words, Tina tapped her chin with the index finger of her right hand, looking thoughtful: I might actually know a way to help you quickly increase your strength. Its a type of power called [Bloodline Connection]. Of course, its nowhere near as fast as me, but it might help a little. Thats when Su Yu received a system prompt: Ding! Detecting that [Tina Garcia]s favorability towards you is greater than 20 points, you can initiate [Prepaid Quest Rewards]. Ding! [Tina Garcia] prepaids the fifth round reward of the main plot of [Saintess of Orleans City] to you: [Bloodline Connection (One Hour)]. Do you ept? [Bloodline Connection]: During the duration, you will receive 10% of the Experience Points gained by [Tina Garcia].. Chapter 80 - 80: 80. Kill the (Mushroom Demon) 1 Chapter 80: 80. Kill the (Mushroom Demon) 1 Trantor: 549690339 In the game, the rewards for tasks at the 5th, 10th, 15th, and so on, are all very good. For example, in the main storyline of [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire], the 5th round rewarded Su Yu with a set of houses that could be sold for millions of spiritual energy coins. Only some tasks with a changed process are exceptions, such as the [Centaurs Lingering Feelings] task that Su Yu justpleted. ording to the normal task process, in the 9th round of the [Centaurs Lingering Feelings] task, Dima would die in the arena and Tina would enter a state of corruption. In thest round of the task, the yer, with the help of Commander Grace, would enter Tinas soul world and defeat a boss called [Tinas Perseverance]. Then,plete the entire hidden task and receive the final reward, the [Vige Good Sword (Gold)]. But because Su Yu broke the task process and spent money to cure Dima, the [Vige Good Sword] reward appeared in the 9th round, and the final boss was also missing. Back to the present. The reward Tina advanced to Su Yu was the main storys 5th round reward. This reward is quite powerful, after all, given Tinas crazy upgrade speed, her 10% bonus is not to be underestimated! If Tina can level up 10 times at once, then with 10%, I can also level up two or three times at once, right? Su Yu thought happily. But looking sideways, Tina was building up rage and trying to release [Bloodline Connection] on him. Su Yu hurriedly stopped her: Wait, Tina! What? Tina looked at him with her big puzzled eyes. Su Yu exined, Using [Bloodline Connection] now is too early. Why dont we wait until we eliminate another batch of monsters and use it when you absorb their essence? Thats right. Tina nodded. And she didnt forget to give Su Yu the reward for the second round of tasks. This is for you, thanks for helping me destroy the Hydra Tribe! Tina took out a ring embedded with a blue gem from her arms and threw it to su Yu. Ding! Congrattions onpleting [Saint of Orleans City (2/100)], you have received [Travelers Ring (Rare)], Experience Points XIOOO. [Travelers Ring IV12 (Rare)] Backpack space +24 Nonbat movement speed +8% This equipment increases backpack slots! Its quite suitable for me! Su Yu was very satisfied. His backpack slots were too few now, needing to carry arge number of scrolls and potions, several cloths for spare, and he couldnt bear to throw away the equipment and skill scrolls dropped by the boss, so his backpack space was always tight. With the [Travelers Ring], it really eased the capacity of his backpack. Thank you, Tina, where are we going next? Su Yu asked cheerfully. Hmm Tina tilted her head thoughtfully, then replied, Theres a mushroom territory a few kilometers southwest from here. We can try our luck there. Ding! Your main mission has been updated! [Saint of Orleans City (3/100)]. Mission Requirements: With Tinas assistance, eliminate the mushroom tribe of the Underground Cavern, kill [Fungus Soldiers] X30, [Fungus Warlock] X30, [Three Fungi Warriors (Elite)] X5, [Mushroom Demon (Leader)] Xl. Mission Rewards: Experience Points XIOOO, [Sorrow of Fungus (Consumable)]. Looking at the task description, Su Yu was a bit speechless: Isnt your gift supposed to be blood sucking? Shouldnt mushrooms be nts? nts also have sap! The effect is actually the same. Besides, the Mushroom n is not entirely nts. Well, lets go. One hourter, in the underground cavern. Sorrow of Fungus, hungry! 2 meters tall, with a huge pale umbre cap on its head, the [Mushroom Demon lv22] was holding a rune sword and rushed towards Su Yu and Tina. In its hand, the rune sword was the [Sorrow of Fungus], emanating a strong frost energy. Tina, go! Su Yumanded Tina, while simultaneously using his blink to dodge the [Dead Mushroom Entwined] of the [Mushroom Demon]. He activated the second-order scroll [Summoning Diamond Elemental] in his left hand. A semi-transparent [Diamond Elemental] appeared, swinging its massive stone fists at the [Mushroom Demon]. At the same time, Su Yus [Lightning Bolt] hit the BOSS. -351! The damage is decent, Su Yu nodded to himself. Su Yu was currently at level 12, and the [Mushroom Demon] was level 22 BOSS. Under such a massive level gap, Su Yus damage should only be in single digits. But after Tina arrived in the mushroom territory, she gave him a buff [Tinas Blessing], temporarily raising his level to 20, matching that of Tinas. Only then was he able to deal any damage to the BOSS. However, the [Mushroom Demon] had a whopping 30,000 health points. In order to fully defeat the boss, they would need to grind slowly. Hiss, ah! The [Mushroom Demon] roared twice and activated its skill [Mushroom Demons Command]! A massive amount of spores were ejected from its cap, which fell to the ground and morphed into nine miniature mushrooms. These [Fungus Soldiers] swayed where they stood, then under the bosssmand, they charged directly towards Su Yu. Su Yu stood still on the spot. Once the [Fungus Soldiers] were close, he cast [Frost Nova], freezing them in their tracks. Immediately after, Su Yu swung his magic wand in his right hand, casting [Rain of Fire] + [Electric Chain], and with his left hand, he released the second-order scroll [Seismic Wave] + [Lightning Storm]. A swarm of numbers jumped from the heads of the mushrooms, dramatically reducing their health points. The mushrooms were taken out by Su Yu before the three-second control effect of the [Frost Nova] had even ended! What excited Su Yu even more was that since [Rain of Fire] had six attacks and hit nine targets at once [Desert Emperor Scepter] in his hand had a 5% chance of summoning a [Sand Soldier] every time it inflicted damage on a monster. So, after a round of [Rain of Fire], four [Sand Soldiers] descended amidst the rain of fire, raising their massive sand spears to strike at the [Mushroom Demon]. The [Mushroom Demon] was surrounded by melee units. With Su Yus continuous spell bombardment, its health began to drop rapidly at a rate of 4% per second. However, the [Mushroom Demon] was oblivious to all this. Its [Sorrow of Fungus] continuously aimed at Tina while it shouted its lines: What a ridiculous irony! Apocalypse! Bow down before your king! You insects hurt me. Ive had my fun with you. Now, taste the revenge of the mushrooms! Responding to the [Mushroom Demon]s call, the group of [Fungus Soldiers] who had just died instantly revived and once again swooped towards Su Yu. But Su Yu was ready. Repeating his previous tactic, he froze them with the frost circle and brought down a massive AOE. The mushrooms fell to the ground once more. The [Mushroom Demon]s health bar was also slowly whittled down during the battle. Hope is growing weaker There must be a MushroomKing Shouting itsst words, the [Mushroom Demon] copsed on the ground as its health depleted, its vast pale cap broke off entirely from the root.. Chapter 81 - 81: 81, Promoted two levels! _1 Chapter 81: Promoted two levels! _1 Trantor: 549690339 After the [Mushroom Demon] died, its Frost Rune Sword fell to the ground. Su Yu walked over to pick up the Rune Sword and examined its properties. [Sorrow of Fungus (Consumable)] Remaining uses: 5 Usage: Shout I seed you, father! and stab the target with the sword. Effect: If the target is the holders father, it deals 99999 true damage; if not, it restores 30% of maximum health. Note: You can stab yourself. Of course, doing that would only make your opponents think youre an idiot. A consumable thats practically useless, Su Yu shook his head slightly. He wasnt like Snow Fall who yed the game with his father, so he couldnt make use of the damaging effect of [Sorrow of Fungus]. It was essentially a potion that could recover health five times. However, this potion could only recover 30% of ones health, making it not very useful given the low recovery rate. Su Yu casually put the [Sorrow of Fungus] into his backpack. As for the loots dropped by the Mushroom Demon, he quickly scanned over and put them all into his backpack when he saw nothing useful. Tina, lets get started now! Looking eagerly at Tina, who was sharpening her de upon the Mushroom Demon, Su Yu was full of anticipation. I wonder how many levels Tina can advance at once this time? And how many levels can he advance himself? Alright, lets start now. Tina took a step forward, her golden fury raging violently like waves. Hey! Tina let out a charming battle cry, and her rage split up, part of it turning into a golden thread connecting her and Su Yu. Su Yus status bar immediately gained a [Bloodline Connection] buff thatsts for an hour. Tina held her breath, raised her sword high, and delivered a heavy chop onto the cap of the Mushroom Demon. Whoosh The Mushroom Demons ck blood sttered, and Tina stepped forward to absorb the blood. Buzz! After the absorption, Tinas aura soared again, and some of the power was transferred to Su Yu along the golden thread. With the influx of power, Su Yu also felt his mana bing increasingly strong. His game log began to roll rapidly. Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection], you gained 1000 Experience Points! Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection], you gained 1000 Experience Points! Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection] Ding! Congrattions on reaching level 13! Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection], you gained 1000 Experience Points! Su Yu calcted the total Experience Points earned from the mission log, and the boss alone had provided him with a whopping 16500 Experience Points! To think that his experience bar from level 12 to 13 only needed 14000 points! The substantial increase in Experience Points allowed him to rise directly from 40% experience at level 12 to 50% experience at level 13! Furthermore, Tina wasnt even done yet, as she continued to absorb the essence blood of the other mushrooms she had collected from her pouch. Su Yus game log began to roll rapidly again! Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection], you gained 1000 Experience Points! Ding! Through the [Bloodline Connection] When all the essence blood was fully absorbed, a golden light burst from Tinas body, lighting up the walls of the underground cave and making them shine! The golden fury around Tina boiled like boiling water, and it was so dazzling that it was difficult to look directly at her. Su Yu also benefitted handsomely. As Tina absorbed the essence blood, his Experience Points bar skyrocketed and finally stabilized at 58% at level 14. Just one round of absorption allowed Su Yu to go up two levels! As expected from the main plot, it gives a lot of Experience Points! Looking at his skyrocketed Experience Points bar, Su Yu felt refreshed! If he had been hunting and killing monsters in the wild, it mightve taken him half a day to level up twice, but now, it was attained just by Tinas first round of monster blood absorption! Also, not to forget that there was still an hour remaining on the [Bloodline Connection], during which he could take Tina to kill another wave of wild monsters. Who knows, he might be able to level up twice more! Therefore, Su Yu swiftly grabbed Tinas gentle hand, Lets go, Tina, to the next task location! Eh? Ive just advanced two stages and was nning to rest for a bit. The Experience Points Tina gained was ten times that of Su Yus. She had already reached level 30, making her level-up speed absolutely earth-shattering! No rest now, its not the time for rest. After we clear the next wave of monsters, Ill rest with you, okay? Alright I guess. Tina quickly agreed: Our next destination is the Devils Garden. There is a man there who has been corrupted by magic power, and we need to take care of him Ding! Your main line mission has been updated! [Orleans Citys Holy Maiden (4/100)]. Mission requirement: Assist Tina in eliminating the monsters in the Devils Garden. Destroy [Cannibal Flower] X30, [Pea Shooter] X30, [Guardian Nut Wall (Elite)] X5, [Corrupted Dave (Boss)] X1. Mission reward: 1500 Experience Points, [Sunflower Seed (Special item)]. After the mission update, without saying a second word, Su Yu, pulling Tina along, quickly left the underground cave. The entrance of the underground cave. Su Yu summoned Dima, and he and Tina rode the same horse, quickly moving towards the Devils Garden. Not long after Su Yu left the underground cave. In Wolf King Valley, the second newbie vige, Snow Leopard was leveling up together with his three teammates. However, these three teammates were not Range is Reality and the others. Their game time for the day was already up. Therefore, the three teammates teamed up with Snow Leopard were other members from the guild. Snow Leopard was a Druid and at the moment, he had transformed into a ck panther wing at the [Howling Moon Wolf] in front of him. C 30 C 42 C 29 The [Howling Moon Wolves] howled and fell to the ground, and his Experience Points increased by 10 points each time. The game mechanism of Evolution was such that yers who inflicted damage on a monster and caused it to die would gain full amount of Experience Points. This was why advanced yers preferred to level up in teams of three or four. At this point, his Archer teammate sighed: Boss, all weve been doing now is killing monsters mechanically. This leveling is too boring! When can we reach level Probably in 3-4 months. You think gaining strength is that easy? Without turning his head, Snow Leopard replied, But well reach level 10 tomorrow. There should be more things to do after we go to the main city. True. Now, there are only 3-4 yers at level 10 on the Ranking List. Were among the front-runners! The Archer opened the [Ranking List] with the intention of checking the number of new level 10 yers. But just as he opened it, he saw 1v14 next to [Nemesis], which startled him and nearly caused him to drop his bow. Boss, look! [Nemesis] is already at level 14! The Archer shouted hurriedly. What? Level 14?! Wasnt he at level 12 just a moment ago? Snow Leopard was taken aback and quickly opened his friends list. Seeing that the prefix before [Nemesis] was indeed 1v14, he stared in disbelief: I had thought he was leveling incredibly fast when [Nemesis] was at level 12.. What did he do? How did he level up two more times so quickly? Chapter 83 - 83: 83, Tina’s favorability increased, return to Imperial Capital_l Chapter 83: Tinas favorability increased, return to Imperial Capital_l Trantor: 549690339 [Sunflower Seeds] were very popr in the previous world. Once a yer bes a noble and owns a [Vige] -level territory, there will be 10 [Farms] in the vige, and the number of farms will also increase as the territory levels up. By ntingrge quantities of [Sunflower Seeds] in the farms and maturing them, each [Sunflower] can produce a substantial amount of [Sunshine]. yers can absorb this [Sunshine] to gain a great deal of Experience Points. Especially in the gamester stages when there are nearly no ways to gain experience, these [Sunshine] almost ount for over 60% of the Experience Points obtained by themon yers! However, acquiring a [Vige]-level territory in the game is not an easy task. Other than potential rewards from the main storyline, acquiring a territory could only be done through exchanging 10 points of World Prestige. Moreover, World Prestige is famously hard to obtain, most yers at level 50 or 60 havent even gotten a single point, they can only rent the [Farms] from territory-holding yers. Moreover, the ultimate building in the territory [Mage Tower] (called [Flesh Refinement Field] for warrior ss and [Hidden Sanctuary] for assassin ss, their functionalities are roughly simr) can only be built when the territory reaches the [City] level or when the yers own level reaches level 75 and the 6th rank. Hence, Su Yu puts his primary focus into the main storyline instead of monster farming, all to build the [Mage Tower] earlier. Only with the [Mage Tower] can he contend for the highest stratum of strength in the game. Sigh, Tina, give me some World Prestige!! Not far from Daves corpse in the Devils Garden, Su Yu was looking at Tina with a sincere expression. What is World Prestige!? Tina blinked her big eyes, they were filled with confusion. Nevermind. Su Yu shook his head. Tasks that generally reward World Prestige are momentous events that shake the nation. Like if he were to cut a bloody swath through the ranks of the rebel army and his name became widely known among the natives, he would gain World Prestige. Or another extreme example, should he marry the princess, Alyssa, it would send shockwaves across the world, his World Prestige would surely skyrocket to over 150 points in an instant! Now that he and Tina were farming monsters in some remote gorge with nobody knowing, its normal not to be rewarded World Prestige. However, at this point, it seemed like Tina suddenly recalled something. Her face turned slightly red, Nemesis, lets return to Orleans City! Youre wee to visit my home! Tina didnt forget that Nemesis had promised to rest together with her just now. What could they do while resting together? Tina remembered that she bought a light yellow dress yesterday, she could try it on for Nemesis to see if it looks good As Tina was letting her imagination run wild, an apologetic voice echoed beside her: Im sorry, Tina, I might not be able to apany you. I have something important to do. Naturally, what Su Yu meant by important thing was obviously the 8th quest of the princess quest line. Looking at the countdown timer, there were only 40 minutes left. When Tina heard what Su Yu said, her heart grew cold. Shed never dated anyone, but she had read many romance novels and knew what it meant when the male protagonist in the stories said, I have something important to do. So Tina shook her head sadly, You should go. Perhaps staying with me makes you unhappy. Ding! [Tina Garcia]s favorability towards you decreased by 1 point, favorability has dropped to Indifferent Seems like he said something wrong, why did Tinas favorability decrease? So Su Yu hurriedly tried to make amends, Tina, hear me out! Heres what happened: a week ago, I went to the Imperial Capital to meet the princess with the mayors letter Su Yu ryed the entire process of his journey to meet Keerderon in Goldfinch City, participate in the senior schr examination, meet the princess, escape from the 7th rank dark priest, [Xi Fan]. Unlike the female leads in TV dramas that would say, I dont want to hear it, I dont want to hear it, Tina listened to his entire exnation patiently and obediently. Tina had no idea, Su Yu had such a thrilling experience beforeing to Orleans City! And hes a Senior Schr too! As a country girl, Tina knew how high the status of a Senior Schr was, she just hadnt seen a [Senior Schr Badge]. Now she knows, that crystal-clear badge that Su Yu had always been wearing on his chest was the Senior Schr Badge! Moreover, he was invited by the great Princess to attend a meeting, so he couldnt apany her. Upon realizing this, Tina suddenly felt much better. Then you should hurry and go meet Princess! Apart from training in the unicorn camp during this period, Ive been staying at home. Ill wait for you toe back at home! Tinas face was filled with joy. Ding! [Tina Garcia]s favorability towards you increased by 6 points, favorability has been raised to Notice. Alright then, Ill send you home first, then Ill set off for the Imperial Capital. Su Yu reached for Tinas small hand, the two of them hopped onto Dima and proceeded towards Orleans City. During their journey, Tina listened to Su Yu boasting about how difficult the Senior Schr Examination was, how only a few people passed every year, and how well he performed in the examination. Then she suddenly thought of something: Just now, she was constantly worried that she was leveling up too fast, and that Su Yu might feel inferior because of her high level. But now that Nemesis is a Senior Schr, there should be no differences in status between them anymore, right! Maybe they could rightfully Just as she thought about it. Ding! [Tina Garcia]s favorability towards you increased by 5 points, favorability has been raised to Friendly. Half an hourter, at Goldfinch City. Su Yu, riding on Dima, rushed towards the Royal Pce. En route, he also reflected on himself: I joined the game to level up, not to y a galgame, this favorability level is rising a bit too rapidly. Su Yu nced at the favorability level of Tina on his panel, it had already reached Friendly, another 10 points and it would soar to the highest level Enthusiastic. If only Alyssas favorability would rise this quickly, if it reaches Friendly, at least I could be a Count. While musing wildly, Su Yu continued his journey. In the meantime, he also checked his private messages. Zhan Tianjian, Red-Eyed ck Dragon, and Snow Leopard have all sent him messages, asking him why his leveling speed was so fast and how he managed to jump 6 levels. After thinking over it, Su Yu replied to all three: A high-level NPC gave me a buff, which allowed me to level up 6 times in a row. Su Yu was really not lying this time, indeed it was because Tina gave him a buff that he was able to level up so fast. However, the three club leaders (Red-Eyed ck Dragon is considered a vice-leader) on receiving the response, all looked speechless. Could you perhapse up with a fresher excuse? Both thest time and the time before it was high-level NPC buff, again this time? Do you think we are easy to fool? Chapter 84 - 84: 84, Meet the Princess Once Again_l Chapter 84: Meet the Princess Once Again_l Trantor: 549690339 When the countdown was down to 5 minutes, Su Yu sessfully arrived at the gate of Goldfinch Royal Pce. Keerderon, the royal guard of the princess, in a brand new silver armor, had been waiting there for a long time. Upon seeing Su Yu, he ced his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully to Su Yu: Master Nemesis, Her Highness the Princess instructed me to greet you. Let me guide you in. Alright, lead the way. Su Yu followed Keerderon and walked towards the pce. Ding! Your main quest has been updated! [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire (8/100)]. Task requirement: Participate in the Maple City Negotiation Preparation Meeting. Task reward: 300 Experience Points. Seeing the reward of this task, Su Yu knew that this task would not be difficult. 300 Experience Points meant that this was just a formality task, and he didnt think much of it. Walking through the pce, Su Yu chatted with Keerderon while enabling [First-Person Holographic View] to record the scene of the 8th ring quest. He wanted to record Tinas storyline, after all, that was a precious main quest, and many people would want to watch it. However, considering his small interactions with Tina, he gave up. The 8th ring of the Princess Quest was a transit task that required nobat, thus, it wont reveal anything. So, Su Yu nned to record it for some extra money, and also to get members of the forum to help analyze the plottwo birds with one stone. It was still the same grand hall. Upon entering the hall, Su Yu found the hall already filled with ministers, nobles, and high-ranking military officers. Princess Alyssa, stern-faced, was seated on the throne. In her arms was a blue and white kitten radiating starlight, of an unknown breed. At this moment, the kitten was napping in the princesss arms. The seventh-order shadow priest, Xi Fan, was seated on a chair on the side of the hall, enveloped in a dark aura, rendering his face invisible. Even though Su Yu was a high-ranking schr, his status among these people in the hall was the lowest, and he positioned himself at the rear of the crowd. Now that everyone is here, lets begin. With the authoritative voice of the princess, the meeting officiallymenced. For the first 5 minutes of the meeting, the Princess and her ministers mainly discussed internal affairs of the empire and military deployment. For example, when the reinforcements and food supplies would arrive at Forest City from Orleans City; And suggesting to His Majesty the Emperor to switch from conscription to enlistment program to adapt to the new war situation. Su Yu wasnt very concerned about these discussions, so he just heard them out and left. 5 minutester, the princess shifted the topic to the uing trip to Maple City. This time, I and the advisor Xi Fan will be going to Maple City for negotiations with Duke Anzu Seifer. Isaac, Ian. At yourmand. A minister and a general in armor stepped forward. Isaac, youre in charge of the internal affairs of the Imperial City while Im away; As for you Ian, the citys defense force will be handed over to you. Remember not to provoke the Northern Rebel Army. Understood! The citys defense forcemander, Ian, knelt on one knee and replied respectfully. The internal minister named Isaac, however, frowned: Your Highness, I still think you should not casually enter the enemy territory. Its extremely dangerous. If something should happen to you on the road Do you have a better n? The princess coldly cut him off. No I dont. Then we do it as I said. Princess Alyssa closed her eyes slightly: This negotiation is to promote a river divide with the rebel army along the Luminous River. If the negotiation is sessful, the name Goldfinch will not be history. The Luminous River is a major river running through the east-west axis of the Goldfinch Empire. The area on the north side of the river is almost equal to that on the south, and the Royal Pce of Goldfinch is also located on the Luminous River. If the negotiations are sessful, the royal family and the Kalet rebel army would divide their rule by the river. The Goldfinch Empire would also be split into the South Goldfinch Empire and Kalet Empire. But would the negotiations really be sessful? Su Yu looked at the task bar and the ny-something tasks left, and shook his head slightly. The southern royal family was not willing to give in, and the northern rebels had ambitions. The two major forces were bound to fight to death. The princesss uing negotiations in Maple City were just to buy some time for the rear. The topics of the ongoing meeting mainly focused on when to set out for the negotiation. The princesss personal guard required some more time for preparation, so the departure date was set to be in 7 days. After 7 days, the princess would head to Maple City with Xi Fan and her personal guard. The entire meeting did not offer Su Yu a chance to speak until the end of the meeting. After the meeting ended, the ministers left one after another. The moment he stepped out of the hall, a game prompt sounded again: * Ding! Your main quest has been updated! [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire * Task requirement: Please arrive at the gate of Goldfinch Royal Pce promptly after 14 hours and apany the princess to Maple City. Countdown Task reward: 800 Experience Points. Ah! Another waiting task. Su Yu sighed slightly. Tinas storyline was about constant monster killing, whereas the princesss side was wait wait wait, which was quite boring. Looking at the time, it was already midnight. Su Yu nned to log off and go to sleep after leaving the pce. But at that moment, Keerderon, d in silver armor, ran up to him: Master Nemesis, the princess requests your presence! Several minutester, in a small courtyard behind the main hall, Su Yu met Princess Alyssa again. But by then, he had turned off his first-person view. This courtyard was probably the private residence of the princess, with many maids roaming around. Nemesis, what do you think about these negotiations? In the main hall, the princess was stroking the blue and white kitten in her arms, asking calmly. These negotiations can only serve as a dy, the oue must be a failure. Su Yu took a sip from the tea that the maid had handed to him: We have an old saying where Ie from, What you cant get on the battlefield, you cant get at the negotiation table. Ding! You drank [Pandamen tea beverage], the experience +50 (valid only for the first time ). That makes sense. The princess nodded slightly. Nemesis, as a schr who specializes in divination, I want to hear your prediction. Will I encounter danger on this trip to Maple City? Princess Alyssa looked at Su Yu seriously. Ever since Su Yu urately spoke about her true thoughtsst time, Alyssa knew that Su Yu was extraordinary. So when she was undecided about the trip to Maple City, the first person she thought of was Nemesis, wanting to hear his opinion. ording to my calctions, Su Yu closed his eyes, his expression serious, you will face danger twice on this trip to Maple City. Twice?! Yes, once on the way, and onceing back. Su Yu opened his eyes, his gaze deep: If you want an out, I can give you a piece of advice. What advice? You could leverage the power of the yer no, of the otherworld adventurers.. Chapter 85 - 85: 85. (Task Delegation Publishing Authority) 1 Chapter 85: 85. (Task Delegation Publishing Authority) 1 Trantor: 549690339 Adventurers from another world? The princess frowned slightly, Arent most of you adventurers only at the zero stage? What use could you be? Theres definitely a use. Our biggest trait as adventurers is our numbers, and we are not afraid to die, Su Yu said with a smile, holding his tea cup. You should know the kind of fighting power a person can disy when they are not afraid to risk their life, and I can find at least 1000 such people for you! The princess was astonished, 1000? True, suicide troops who are not afraid of dying can exhibit a tremendous fighting power. But, wouldnt recruiting these troops require a lot of money? Right now, the Imperial Capital is in a tough financial spot may not be able to afford such a recruitment The princess was seeing the problem from the perspective of the native residents; she didnt know that the yers could be easily won over with minor favors. Setting down his tea cup on the table and standing up, Su Yu bowed slightly to the princess: No money, no problem; Ill cover all the costs of recruiting this batch of troops. You wont have to bear any expense! Of course, theres one prerequisite. Prerequisite? The prerequisite is that you have to trust me, and entrust this task to me, Su Yu solemnly said. The princess didnt respond and fell into deep thought. To recruit adventurers from another world, she could understand as Nemesiss personal affection to his own kind. But now, she doesnt even need to pay the expenses? What are they trying to do? Work for free? What is Nemesis trying to achieve? Unable to decide, the princess looked at the blue-and-white kitten in her arms. The kitten, understanding their conversation, nodded at the princess. Seeing the kitten nod, the princess seemingly found some sce, Alright Nemesis, I entrust this task to you. I hope you can provide me with a satisfactory reply. Thank you, Your Highness! Su Yu responded respectfully. Ding! Youve earned trust from [Princess Alyssa]. Congrattions on obtaining the princesss [Task Proxy Release Authority]. [Task Proxy Release Authority]: You can release tasks on behalf of this NPC. If yersplete tasks, you will receive 1% of the task reward Experience Points and spiritual energy coins aspensation. (The prerequisite is that the task you released must be permitted by the NPC.) I didnt expect to obtain this so easily! Su Yu corners of the mouth lifted with a smile. People used to have a thought that tasks are released by NPC in a game, and they only need to take up tasks and receive rewards to reach their goal. Evolution is different. This is an unusual game, where anything could happen. Even a yer could release tasks on behalf of the NPC to other yers in the game! This hidden function was only discovered by the yers on the fifth expansion of this game. However, when it was first found out, this function didnt cause any sensation. Gaining the trust of an NPC is challenging, and the reward limit varies for each NPC. Using amon NPC on the street for task-releasing wouldnt bring too much benefit, considering the proxy task-releasing yer can only get 1% of the reward. But someone like [Princess Alyssa], a top-tier NPC, is different! The princess can releaserge-scale tasks that involve thousands of participants. Only by proxy releasing such tasks and leveraging arge poption base could yers reap satisfying rewards. Your Highness, if youll excuse me, Ill take my leave now. Ill escort you personally to Maple City a week from today! Su Yu said while bidding farewell to the princess with a smile. Thank you for your efforts, The princess stood up and said, Keerderon, escort Nemesis out. Yes, maam! Keerderon, who was standing by the side, immediately kneeled to take the order. After Nemesis left, The princess sat back in her seat and looked at the blue-and-white kitten in her arms, Morning star, do you know why Nemesis wanted to do this? I dont understand at all. I dont get it either, A soft and melodious female voice came from the kitten, But I can tell you that he does not harbor any ill intentions towards you. And even if he did, a level-one mage could hardly stir up a storm. Lets hope so, the princess said. She looked in the direction Su Yu had gone staring nkly. The blue-and-white kitten named Morning Star was also staring in the same direction. A hint of curiosity sparkled in its eyes. What an interesting human being! After leaving the Royal Pce and walking along the street outside, Su Yu opened the task panel. There was a new [Task Proxy Release] module in the task panel. He clicked in and saw that the only task he could currently release on behalf of the princess was [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon]. Giant Wood Canyon is the dangerous ce where the princess encounters trouble on her way to Maple City. In the overall storyline, the rebel leader, Duke Anzu Seifer, agrees to negotiate with the princess in Maple City, but not every rebel agrees. The faction led by Duke Landilus disagrees. So, Landilus sent his men disguised as bandits to attack the group the princess was with, trying to stop the negotiation. The ambush site was Giant Wood Canyon. Hence, the origins of the task [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon]. Su Yu looked over the task details. The [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] task could be participated by up to 1000 yers. Upon taskpletion, each yer would be rewarded: 1000 Experience Points, 30 spiritual energy coins, and a random piece of level 10 green equipment suitable for their profession. This task, whichsts for nearly half an hour, offers pretty generous rewards. Next to task rewards, there is + and - button. Thanks to his partial NPC authority, Su Yu now can increase or decrease oneponent of the reward. However, to prevent illegal activities, the total reward value must remain unchanged. For instance, he could remove the reward of level 10 green equipment, and the Experience Points reward would rise to 2000 points, and the spiritual energy coin reward would increase to 60 coins. Su Yu had promised the princess that he would foot the entire cost of the battle. If these are the decided task rewards, then the spiritual energy coins would have to be borne by him alone. Naturally, Su Yu was not that generous. Clicking the - next to the spiritual energy coins, he sharply reduced the spiritual energy coin reward to its lowestlo coins. With the decrease in spiritual energy coin rewards, since the total reward value must remain constant, the Experience Points reward was raised once again. Eventually, the task reward for [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] became: 3000 Experience Points, 10 spiritual energy coins. That is to say, if Su Yu could recruit 1000 yers toplete the task, he could receive a 1% reward or 30,000 Experience Points, which would suffice for him to level up! As for the 9900 spiritual energy coins lost in releasing the task, for someone as extravagantly rich as Su Yu, its a piece of cake! Ill settle the task this way first, just hope everyone can level up fast. If we cant get 1000 people by the tomorrows task, the loss will be huge. No, I must do some propaganda work to stimte the yers enthusiasm for leveling up. Thinking of this, Su Yu headed towards the [Spider Cavern]a level 15 instance, just outside of Goldfinch City. He nned on being the first to clear another instance and then announce the task to all the yers using a megaphone.. Chapter 86 - 86: 86, I’m here to assign a task!_l Chapter 86: Im here to assign a task!_l Trantor: 549690339 An hour and a halfter, outside the Goldfinch City, at the end of the side expedition, [Spider Cave]. A giant red spider boss, with a diameter of over three meters, curled up. It had already lost its vitality. Su Yu stood next to the boss, checking its loot. [Spiderweb shoes], [Spider Print Gloves], [Fire Wand] The [Fire Wand] dropped the first time, seems likedy luck loves a handsome face! Su Yu equipped the [Fire Wand IV15 (Excellent)] and showed a satisfied smile. He came to challenge the expedition alone this time, firstly to use the Loudspeaker, and secondly for the 15 level magic wand dropped by the Spider Boss. After all, hes already level 18 but still using the 10-level [Desert Emperor Scepter]. Its time for an equipment upgrade. Moreover, he was lucky on his first time, the [Fire Wand] dropped. Using [Point Star Hand] to upgrade it to epic level, the equipment properties became: [Fire Wand IV15 (Epic) ] Magic Power+ 50 Intelligence+17 Magic Crit rate +5% Fire attribute damage +20% (Epic upgrade bonus) Equipment Introduction: On some websites, it might be disyed as [Fire xx Wand]. When Su Yu cleared the expedition, all online yers received a game announcement: [Server wide announcement: yer Nemesis sessfully clears the 15-level 5-person expedition [Spider Cave]. As the first yer to clear the 15-level expedition, you are given a random rare level 15 Mage ss equipment! We hope others will catch up soon] [Server wide announcement: ] [Server wide announcement: ] This server-wide announcement was sent out three times. However,pared to the previous two times, it didnt cause much of a reaction from the yers. They were absolutely shocked when Nemesis cleared the 5-level expedition alone; A little surprised when he cleared the 10-level expedition alone; Now, clearing the 15-level expedition alone theyve be used to it. Its 1:30am now, not many yers in the newbie vige leveling area. But when they heard the game announcement, they all smiled at each other: Nemesis boss is at it again, clearing the expedition alone. Normal! After all, hes level 18 already, its normal that he clears the 15-level expedition. I bet 100 bucks! Well hear it again at level 20. No one will take your bet, isnt this already a sure thing? Thank god Nemesis only conquers one expedition at each level, if he were to clear all expeditions at the same level, the top guilds would cry! Hah, indeed! The yers chatted while killing monsters to level up. Soon after, Su Yus voice came through to the yers: Cough cough, hello everyone! Its me again. Upon hearing Su Yus voice, the yers in the leveling area all had smiles on their faces: We know, we know, its you again. Master Nemesis, whats happened today? Spider Cave? How many Demoiselles does the Spider Boss have? Boss, you level up too quickly; leveling up without standard practice, our hearts are crying tears! The leveling area was filled with jovial air, almost bing a gathering spot for memes. But after what Su Yu said next, many yers stoppedughing: If everyone can get to level 10 before 1:30pm tomorrow, and have a gamey time of an hour, I have a welfare gift for you all! Come to the Goldfinch City town square to take up my task at 13:30. I will provide a 3000 experience points task to each of you, but only for the first 1000 people, firste first serve! Su Yu stopped the Loudspeaker there. But after hearing him, every yers eyes widened, wearing a did I hear that right? expression. The yers looked at each other incredulously. What did you mean by take your task? Can you assign tasks now?! Are you a yer or an NPC? Did you level up so quickly before because you assigned high experience tasks to yourself? Filthy designer finally stopped pretending! Boycott starts from me! Right, boycott Nemesis! We cant let Nemesis continue his reign, we yers barely have any leeway anymore! The yers were furious and demanded to boycott Nemesis. Its too much! Now he can even assign high experience tasks, whats next? But someone suddenly asked a weak question amongst the yers: You can boycott Nemesis, but will you ept his task tomorrow afternoon? The yers momentarily fell quiet. After a while. Of course Ill ept! Why wouldnt I? Thats 3000 experience points! 30% of level 10s experience, I definitely wont miss it. Only the first 1000 will have a chance, it seems I need to hurry. Damn! I was nning to sleep, but I guess Ill continue leveling. Despite theints, the yers actions spoke louder. Any yer who had the chance to ept the task was now grinding levels even harder, preparing to go to town as soon as possible. Some even set rm clocks after logging off, this is a task they cant miss! Meanwhile, in the newbie vige number six, Wolf King Valley. Zhan Tianjian and four of his teammates were leveling here. After hearing Nemesiss message, he suddenly burst outughing: Hahaha! Hisughter was like Mr.Caoughing epically in the old version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms at Huarong Road. Bumblebee, who was standing behind him, asked: Boss, what are youughing at? Should we participate in Nemesis task tomorrow afternoon? Imughing at how reckless and foolish Nemesis is, of course we arent participating in that task! Why? Tom looked puzzled: Thats 30% of level 10s experience! Ive seen through it all! Zhan Tianjian dered confidently: Nemesis leveled to 11 before going to town from the newbie vige, which means there must be some method in the newbie vige to skip straight to 11 from level 10, maybe even the reason he leveled up six times at once was rted to this method! Now, hes using a high experience task to attract us to town, surely because he doesnt want us to find this method, so he can secure his advantage in levels! Oh! Overlord Tigers eyes lit up: Thank goodness you figured it out so quickly boss, otherwise we wouldve been fooled by him! Who else can do it besides your boss? Zhan Tianjian bragged: Lets continue leveling, after level 10 well start looking for hidden tasks in the vige. Alright boss! In the newbie vige number two, Wolf King Valley, Snow Leopard was also leveling up with his teammates. It was now half past one in the morning, Mr.Zhong and the others had already logged on. Distance equals truth: Mr.Zhong, are you going to participate in Elder Zhangs task tomorrow afternoon? Snow Leopard smiled: Of course! How could I miss such an event? But you have a task tomorrow morning! Distance equals truth looked worried: And you havent slept for three days, havent you? Youll die of exhaustion! Snow Leopard waved his hand indifferently: Dont worry, I can handle it, I wont die Before Snow Leopard could finish his sentence, he suddenly disappeared, as if the game had kicked him offline. This usually happens when the game detects that the yers condition is really unsuitable for continuing the game. Everything happened so quickly, without any warning, leaving the four team members dumbfounded. Mr. Zhong- Not long after, a mournful howl echoed in the Wolf King Valley.. Chapter 87 - 87: 87, First-person video sparks discussion 1 Chapter 87: First-person video sparks discussion 1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu was unaware of the yers discussions. After using the megaphone, he logged out and prepared to sleep. Although logging into the game with a helmet enables yers to achieve a light sleep state, the brain remains in a high state of excitement throughout the game. Therefore, every yer still needs to ensure they get 5-7 hours of regr sleep every day. Otherwise, they might suffer from brain damage and end up like a certain unfortunate Snow Leopard who was forcibly kicked offline. Phew Rising from the bed, Su Yu unconsciously stretched his body. The power he had in the game manifested itself in his physical strength which had once again increased! This feeling of increased strength greatly fascinated him. He did a bit of exercise in the small living room, took a bath, and then prepared for bed. But before going to sleep, Su Yu thought about the video he had recorded of the 8th quest of the Princess Questline today. It would be better to upload the video to the inte before sleeping. During this time, the forum experts might be able to extract some information that I overlooked from the video. With this in mind, Su Yu sat down in front of hisputer. He exported the video from the helmet and uploaded it to the official First-Person View video section. The First-Person View video section is a paid video section. ording to information Su Yu obtained in his past life, this was a way for the Game Supervisors of the Singer Civilization to earn extra money. But to talk about how the Supervisors make extra money, wed have to start from the beginning of the Skuru invasion. At the beginning of the Skuru invasion. If all the spiritual energy contained in Blue Star at this point were divided into ten parts. The Singer Civilization took away nine parts when they arrived, leaving one part as a Spiritual Spring Eye which was upied by the Skuru. Then, the Singer Civilization granted three parts of the obtained spiritual energy to a forsaken world and made the game Evolution. The remaining six parts were of course the service fee. Since there were no in-game recharge channels, the Game Supervisors of the Singer Civilization could not benefit from it. They only received minimal remuneration. Neither could they ask for benefits from the Blue Star government. It was against the rules, and being caught would mean a death sentence. So, the Supervisors yed a clever game and added a First-Person View video feature to the game to earn some extra cash. In this video section. yers who upload videos can set their own prices, ranging from a minimum of 0.1 Flower Coin to a maximum of 100 Flower Coins. At the same time, they can also set the profit division ratio, from a minimum of 20% to a maximum of 70%. The higher the video quality, the less the demanded division ratio, and the more the website promotion resources avable. The Supervisors were making use of this method to earn some cash. With this small sum of money, they fairly exchanged spiritual energy with the Blue Star government. Su Yu was quite clear about all these. Without thinking, he directly set the video price to 0.6 Flower Coin and set the profit split ratio to the maximum 70%. 0.6 Flower Coin was the conventional price for each part of the mainline story in his previous life, Su Yu did not want to break it; Setting the profit split ratio to 70% meant that the website would not allocate any promotional resources or rmendation spots to him. Unless someone directly searched for his personal ount, they would not be able to see his videos. However, Su Yu didnt care. Relying on his influence in the game, creating a forum post would give him a better effect than being featured on the websites homepage. He wasnt concerned about promotion. After uploading the video. Su Yu went to the forum to create a post, telling the yers about his video, mentioning that the video was rted to the main storyline, and invited yers interested in the main storyline to watch it. Although it was already 2 a.m., there were still many night owls chatting on the forum. After seeing Su Yus post, hundreds of replies quickly appeared under the post. Nemesis is posting again! Hisst post was about [Green Pasture]. Mainline story? Whats that? You dont know what a mainline story is? ording to the scattered information leaked from the official website, the mainline story is the ultimate mission of each data pack! The best mission rewards are almost all in here! Ultimate mission? No wonder he levels up so fast! Lets go and see! Lets check it out. yers flocked to the official video section, and the view count of Su Yus video gradually increased from zero to five or six hundred. After noticing that the videos price was set to 0.6 Flower Coin, many of the yers quietlyined, Thats steep. Most yers currently charge the lowest price of 0.1 Flower Coin for their uploaded videos. Nemesiss charge was considered high. But, the yers who could afford the helmet were not bothered by this price. They proceeded to watch the video. Once they entered the video, their perspective was attached to Su Yu as they followed him forward from his main point of view. The majestic pce, the splendid hall, the luxurious entrance hall, the exquisitely carved columns The essence of Empire architecture gathered here, making it a feast for the eyes. After entering the hall, lots of Empire influencers were seen either sitting or standing inside. Xi Fan, the formidable top-tier warrior, who sat high on the throne, and the solemn-faced princess Alyssa All of these suddenly made the yers feel that their 0.6 Flower Coins were well spent! In the next 10 minutes, the princess and the ministers discussed military and political affairs and the matter of negotiating with the rebellious forces in Maple City. In thest few seconds of the video, Kalet ran towards Su Yu and respectfully said, Master Nemesis, the princess requests your presence! The screen went ck at this moment. After watching the video, the yers all felt unsatisfied and immediately went to the forum to discuss it. Did you notice? At the end, that guard addressed Nemesis as Master What kind of title is this? I dont know, but Nemesiss charges are too high! Its six times as much as others! Be grateful, this is the mainline story. Theres only one such video. From this video, we got a lot of key information, like the princess going to Maple City to negotiate with Kalets rebels. Yes, there should be quite a few hidden tasks from here to Maple City. Everyone, keep an eye out. Can someone analyze what they were talking about during the political affairs part at the beginning? They were talking about conscription and recruitment. I didnt understand at all what they were saying. I know this. Feudal dynasties in early periods generally used conscription. Soldiers would voluntarily join the army to attain social mobility and to expand the borders. Theirbat strength was very strong. For example, the early Tang Dynasty and Han Dynasty. After the decline of the dynasty, it would use recruitment, like in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, An Lushan Rebellion, Iron-blooded Delivery It appears that the Goldfinch Dynasty has no soldiers to conscript and could only recruit civilians, implementing a recruitment system. The downfall of the Empire seems to be inevitable now. How do you know so much? Heh, honestly speaking, Ive lived through all those dynasties. Go away, stop joking! What video are you guys talking about? Can I have a link? Go to the official video section and search for the username Nemesis. No matter how you looked at it, this video started to trend in the forum.. Chapter 88 - 88: 88. Testing strength in reality, Su Yu’s suggestion_l Chapter 88: 88. Testing strength in reality, Su Yus suggestion_l Trantor: 549690339 By the time Su Yu woke up at eight in the morning, the video had already surpassed 5,000 views. Thats over two thousand dors in ie from the video overnight! Of course, the number 5000 is not thatrge,pared to the millions of views on video portal websites. But given that the yer count is still pretty low, with about one hundred thousand daily users, 5000 people watching his video overnight is already impressive. Su Yu isying on his bed, browsing the official forum on his phone. Some of the yers in the forum are professionals in the field of history. Based on their professional knowledge, they conducted an in-depth analysis of the video posted by Su Yu, that was highly insightful. From their analysis, Su Yu gained much inspiration for future tasks. Soon, the take-out food he ordered arrived, Su Yu nned to game after finishing his meal. But then he received a phone call. Hello? Mr. Su Yu, this is Xue Wenli. Oh its you, whats up? I have a very important matter that requires your presence at our base. Oh? 40 minutester. Su Yu appears in front of a building in the center of East Sea City. You guys actually bought this ce as a base? Thats some money! Yu Su is looking at the 200-meter-high office building in front of him. The location of their building is one of the best in East Sea City. The building itself may easily cost billions! Today, Xue Wenli was dressed in business attire, her expression was calm: Thats nothing, the Country is investing heavily in Evolution, just the scraps of their resources are enough to buy this building. Dont look at me with those eyes. We didnt spend taxpayers money without reason, we have other intentions. Other intentions? Sorry, you dont have the right to know yet. Xue Wenli leads Su Yu into the building. In the elevator, Xue Wenli presses the button for the 15th floor and then begins to borate on the purpose of inviting him: The reason why weve asked you here is to measure your actual spell damage. By testing your spell damage and game level, we can deduce how much power yers at level 50 can bring into the real world, this is very important to us. Su Yu spread his hands: But didnt I say that yesterday? The damage caused by a zero-stage magician in the game and in reality are basically the same, any game video you pick can let you analyze it. Xue Wenli responded: We have built the model ording to your words, but the specific data is also indispensable. Without specific data, the higher ups are always uneasy. Alright, I understand. Its good to be thorough. Su Yu nodded. Xue Wenli continued to exin: This test benefits you as well, after the test the department will give you a unit of spiritual energy, whiches from the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain, its very precious. What is the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain? Su Yu asks with a confused expression. Thats a long story Ill exin it to youter. Now the elevator has reached the 15th floor, Xue Wenli leads Su Yu out of the elevator. The 15th floor is obviously still under renovation. Looking around, Su Yu can see various misceneous items piled up along the corridor. Some scientists, dressed in whiteb coats, are shuttling back and forth. All of them have a look of concentration and haste on their faces. When these white coats saw Xue Wenli, they nodded to her and then hurriedly walked away. Xue Wenli takes Su Yu to the deepest part of the floor. Soon, they arrived at their destinationan enclosed room at the very inside of the 15th floor. The room was about 50 square meters, and windowless. A person, d in a whiteb coat, sat in the room, and a circr iron disc about 1 meter in diameter was installed on the wall behind him. The disc was coiled with multiple wires at the back, probably rted to a maic field instrument. Wen Li, youre here! The older man waved at Xue Wenli when he saw her. Xue Wenli also saluted the old man: Professor Shen, this is Su Yu who I mentioned to you. Oh, is this Su Yu? Professor Shen looked Su Yu up and down as if he were a precious treasure. Young man, let me ask you a few questions first. Professor Shens tone was very enthusiastic. Sure. Su Yu nodded. After the actualization of your game power, did your body undergo any abnormal changes? Not at all? Not so far. Well then, let me ask the next question Professor Shen asked Su Yu a dozen questions, and Su Yu answered them all one by one. Xue Wenli stood by, quietly listening without interrupting. At the end of the Q&A, Professor Shen pointed to the iron te in front of him: Young man, use your most powerful attack spell to strike it, we need to collect the real data of your spell power. Okay. Su Yu silently calcted in his mind. He was now at level 18, and his spell strength was 58 points after removing all his equipment; he had reported to Xue Wenli that he was a level 7 wizard, and his spell strength was 20 points without wearing any equipment. Plus, his [Lightning Bolt] spell was three times stronger than an ordinary wizards, considering increased damage from the level gap between level 18 and level 7 After calcting, Su Yu found that if he controlled his spell power to about one-twentieth, he could perfectly imitate the power of a level 7 wizard. With this thought, Su Yu deliberately controlled his spell power to about one-twentieth. After casting for 1.5 seconds, a thumb-thick electric arc was released from his hand and struck the iron te in front of him. The electricity was quickly absorbed by the iron te after hitting it, leaving only a shallow ck mark on the surface. Meanwhile, theputer in the testing room started to calcte, and before long, Su Yus spell power data appeared on the screen1456.76. It was unclear how theputer came up with this value. Seeing Su Yu releasing the lightning, Professor Shen was surprised. After all, it was not like watching a superhero movie in real life. Seeing someone demonstrate superpowers in real life was a big shock for him. Turning to see the specific data on theputer, he turned from shock to delight: Wen Li, the spell power of this brother Su Yu is exactly the same as the model we made! His power is basically the same as a level 7 wizard in the game without any equipment! Thats great! Xue Wenlis eyebrows rxed: In this way, we can let go of our worries and go all-out in promoting the game. Um, can I make a few suggestions? Su Yu suddenly interrupted. What suggestions? Xue Wenli turned to look at him. My suggestions are First, dont tell the public that the game power can be actualized; Secondly, maximize the production capacity of the game helmets as much as possible. Before the public learns that the game power can be actualized, you must produce enough helmets for everyone. Su Yus suggestions were not made haphazardly, but based on his painful experiences from the past. In his previous life, the news that the game power can be actualized was widely spread among the public by the end of the fifth month at the start of the great catastrophe. But at that time, there were only about five million helmets in the whole country, which was not enough to cover the entire poption. Consequently, the price of the helmets once skyrocketed to millions. The dark side of human nature was maximized as crimes against helmet owners, including murders, were rampant and society was in extreme turmoil. After all, everyone wanted to have strength before the aliens arrived, even if they had tomit crimes and take risks to get a helmet. If the authorities were to leak the news about the actualization of power now, such a tragic event would happen again. Thats why Su Yu made these suggestions. Xue Wenli thought for a moment and then nodded: Uh huh, I will convey your suggestions to Zhong Feng.. Chapter 89 - 89: 89. Trolley Problem_l Chapter 89: 89. Trolley Problem_l Trantor: 549690339 Afterpleting the inspection, Xue Wenli took Su Yu on a tour around the office building. During the tour, she introduced Su Yu in detail to the structure of the Relevant Department. After all, Su Yu was the first known Blue Star Human with actual strength within the known scope. Xue Wenli wanted to draw him into the Department and make him an official member. But during the introduction, she found that Su Yu was not interested in bing an official member and decided not to extend an invitation after some thought. At the door of the storeroom on the 8th floor of the office building, Xue Wenli was holding a cylindrical metal container which was about 20 cm in diameter and about 30 cm tall. This is the spiritual energy I told you about. Try absorbing it when you get back. If your strength increases or if there are any abnormalities during the process of absorption, remember to call me ASAP, okay? Understood. Su Yu took the spiritual energy container. So, can I go back now? Yes, drive carefully on the road. Xue Wenli replied. Dont worry. Su Yu bid farewell to Xue Wenli and left the office building. An hour after Su Yu left, Xue Wenli walked into office on the east side of the 8th floor. She looked troubled now, as if she was indecisive over something. An Evolution game helmet was ced on the office table. This was Xue Wenlis helmet. She didnt hesitate for long and put on the helmet to enter the game. Soon, a yer named Role [Katyusha], a Level 4 Archer, appeared on the streets of the second Novice Vige. Xue Wenli was one of the first batch of yers who bought the game helmet and was fortunate to have grabbed the name Katyusha. However, due to being extremely busy in reality, she is only level 4 now. Not long after logging in, Xue Wenli received a private chat from Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard: Wen Li, how did it go with Su Yu? Xue Wenli: Todays contact with him went very smoothly She briefly summarized the process of testing the power of Su Yus spells today. But when she got to the end, she became troubled again: Zhong Feng, there is something you must know. Go ahead. As you know, to prevent the Skuru from breaking the rules again and causing trouble, we have installed a psychic wave scanner at the entrance of the new base. The scanner also scanned the conditions inside Su Yu. Hmm. ording to the results given by the scanner, there is nothing abnormal inside Su Yus body, and he is no different from a normal person. Then? Professor Shen and several other biologists have proposed to kill and dissect Su Yu. Through dissection, they can figure out what changes will ur to the biophysical traits after actualization of strength, and at the same time, explore how Su Yu releases spells. Without thinking, Snow Leopard tly refused: Kill and dissect? Impossible! Xue Wenli: Dont rush to oppose. ording to Professor Shen, sacrificing Su Yu to figure out the things I mentioned earlier would be more in line with the interest of all humans! Although Su Yu is the only living entity with actualized strength at the moment, and though scientists have always advocated precision and would not do such inhumane things. But were running out of time! We only have one year! Professor Shen says that its time to take daring risks. Instead of heading towards doom cautiously, we might as well stake everything on one throw! Once Xue Wenli got to this point, she unintentionally thought of the ssic trolley problem: A madman tied five innocent people to a trolley track, and a runaway trolley was heading towards them and would run them over in a short time. Luckily, you can pull a lever to divert the trolley onto another track. However, the problem is that the madman tied another person to the other track. Given the above situation, would you pull the lever? Now, they had a simr challenge, should they sacrifice Su Yu for the greater good? But Snow Leopard disagreed. He quickly replied: Wen Li, I ask you, if today you agree to their request to sacrifice Su Yu, and tomorrow someone holding the g of humanity asks to sacrifice you, would you agree? This Looking at the bigger picture, if in the future the Singer Civilization wants to sacrifice our home, the Blue Star, and ims that it is for the benefit of the entire gxy, should we also agree? Xue Wenli replied: We would definitely disagree. Snow Leopard: So, we must not cross this line. Moreover, can the interests of humanity be represented by the words of a few biologists? Do they think that all human thoughts are the same as theirs? And as the first Blue Star Human with manifested power, who can guarantee that Su Yu will not create more value if he were alive? Sacrificing oneself is noble, waving the g of human interest to sacrifice others is absolutely disgraceful! So, we must firmly oppose this! We must stand our ground. Xue Wenli: I understand, from today, I will pay more attention to protecting Su Yus privacy. Snow Leopard: And there is also the matter of the phantom. The domestic ident rate has been increasing recently, and I cant shake the feeling that something big is on the horizon. Xue Wenli: Zhu Guorui expressed willingness to step in. In fact, Im going to contact Su Yu within the next couple of days to have him deal with some events that are suspected to be phantoms As Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng were chatting privately, Su Yu returned to his rented apartment. Sitting on the sofa, Su Yu opened a metal container containing Spiritual Energy. The milky Spiritual Energy emerged like fog and Su Yu quickly sat cross-legged to absorb it. Five minutester. Ding! From absorption of Spiritual Energy, you gained 866 Experience Points. Whew After absorbing it, Su Yu exhaled deeply, and the magic storage center in the brain had solidified more. Pure Spiritual Energy must not be absorbed in excess. This would destabilize the foundation and make it harder to break through bottlenecks when reaching a higher level. But the term excess refers to a quantity that would make one level up twice or thrice all at once. The quantity he absorbed now was minimal and perfectly safe. Su Yu sent a brief text to Xue Wenli via his phone, describing his feelings after absorbing the Spiritual Energy. After doing all of this, he put on a helmet and entered the game. Once online, Su Yus figure appeared at the entryway of the Goldfinch Royal Pce. The current in-game time was 12 pm. There remained 90 minutes before his scheduled time to release a task with the yers. Given the short amount of time, Su Yu didnt n to do a task at Tinas ce. Instead, he nned to spend the time leveling up in the wilderness. Riding on Dima and walking on the city road of Goldfinch, there were already scattered yers around. But the yers neither greeted each other nor interrupted others. They remained busy with their own activities. There were quite a few yers leveling up in the 11-12 level monster area outside the city. However, the overall number of yers was still considerably few. Su Yu arrived at the level 20 [Magic Spring Mountain Cat] monster area. He casted the [Insight] spell and looked at the mountain cats to get more detailed information. [Magic Spring Mountain Cat Lv. 20] Health Points: 1650 Attack Power: 52 Skills: [Pounce], [Ferocious Bite], [Cheetahs Agility (Passive)] Brief Introduction: Magic Spring Mountain Cats are terrifying creatures. They have sharprge teeth, and their Magic Spring Cat ws are full of sticity and juicy vor. Su Yu returned Dimas horse voucher to the backpack. With his high moving speed, he began to level up by pulling the mountain cats in the valley.. Chapter 90 - 90: 90, Goldfinch Central Plaza_1 Chapter 90: Goldfinch Central za_1 Trantor: 549690339 One oclock in the afternoon, Goldfinch City Square. There was arge gathering of yers, drawn here by the news of Nemesis, the big influencer, nning to release a quest. Many of the yers were game live-streamers. They activated the in-game cameras, preparing to broadcast the events that were about to unfold in the square. Hello everyone, I am Maple Forest of Matsushima Right in front of me is the Goldfinch City Square, where Nemesis will be releasing a quest in half an hour There are so many experts in the square! Look, over there in the distance is Shepherd in the Clouds, the leader of the Mu Yun guild. Hes a mage. His weapon is a [Matchstick], a level 10 green magic wand from the Little Annie the Match-Seller dungeon. Quite a unique design.. Look at this one, here is Snow Leopard, the guild leader of the Department of Affairs, said to be a rare Druid Wow! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, the second highest ranking yer in the leaderboard, is here too! Could we get a picture, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated just red at me. Boohoo, Im so upset that I need extra cookies to mend my wounded heart Maple Forest of Matsushima was a popr streamer with over two million followers, and the chat on his live-stream was scrolling quickly: Oh,e on, youre a man in your thirties, and youre weeping like a child. Are you trying to be sickening? These are all the cookies I have, take them. Take a look around, I see a lot of leaderboard yers. Mr. Matsushima, there is an adorable Ioli at 2 0clock direction. Go and check her out! If you do, Ill send you a 1000 yuan gift! Upon seeing the iing gifts, Mr. Song immediately perked up. Looking to the left, indeed, there was a little girl in light brown scaled armour approaching. Determined to earn his gift, Mr. Song quickly walked over to the little girl: Hello little miss! I am Maple Forest of Matsushima, a well-known game streamer. Say hello to my followers! Mr. Song put the girl on camera. The chat in the live stream exploded: Wow! What an adorable Ioli. I wish I had a daughter this cute! The bow and arrow the Ioli is using are from a level 10 dungeon, right? She must be good. Of course! Can anyone capable of clearing a level 10 dungeon at this stage be weak? The little girl didnt answer. She coldly raised her bow and arrow, aiming at Mr. Song. There were three teammates standing next to her, but none of them interfered, instead watching with their arms folded, enjoying the drama. Seeing the girls arrow aimed at him, Mr. Song grinned: Haha little girl, Im a level 10 defense warrior. You cant break my defense Before he could finish his sentence, the arrow in the little girls hand took flight. Whoosh! A ze of scarlet light shot across the square, instantly turning Mr. Song into a wisp of white light. He was kicked offline to reflect on this. Seeing this, the viewers in the chat room erupted inughter: Level 10 defense warrior? Thats it? Mr. Song, is your defense made of paper? Haha, that was a smack in the face, and so fast too! You cant break my defense Ah, haha, Im dying ofughter! The live broadcast chat was filled with joyousughter. Of course, the one who shot the arrow just now was none other than the Sky Dragon Ioli. She used her innate skill [Heart Piercing Arrow], dealing 500% real damage in a single shot, instantly incapacitating the streamer Mr. Song. The NPC guards in the square just warned her with a nce but didnt intervene. Because the guards had received orders to not interfere in infighting among the adventurers from other worlds. They would only arrest anyone who attacked the native inhabitants. Sky Dragon didnt give much thought to the subject of one-shotting the host. At this moment, she was hugging Swifts thigh with her big, adorable eyes blinking: Miss. Swift, would you like to join Nemesis brothers guild with meter? It would be reassuring for both of us to join together. Im afraid thats impossible. Swift replied awkwardly, Ive signed a contract with the guild. I cant afford the penalty for changing guilds. No problem, Ill talk to my brother about us mutually terminating the contract! Sky Dragon quickly responded, Moreover, how about I triple the sry for you if you stay with me? Triple sry?! Before Swift could reply, the Red -Eyed ck Dragon who was walking in front turned his head abruptly, his eyes shining brightly: How about me? Are you willing to take me along? My gaming skill is top-notch in the industry! Who would want to stay in Emperor Blood if theres a triple sry? Even the always stern-faced Giant God Soldier looked over with interest. Um Sky Dragon pouted and thought about it before shaking her head: Sorry Uncle Red -Eyed, to pay Miss. Swift triple sry, I would need to cut my pocket money by a quarter. If I take you and Little Giant with me, I wont have any pocket money. A quarter ofpocket money The three, the Red-Eyed ck Dragon, were stunned. As top gamers, they signed a top tier contract with Emperor Blood for an annual sry of three million. Now with Sky Dragons a quarter of her pocket money, they were nearly speechless. Was their collective sry times three still less than what this little girl had for pocket money? This On the other side of the square, Su Yu also mounted Dima and arrived on the main square. Hey, everyones here! Su Yu waved at all the yers present. There werent quite a thousand yers in the square at the moment. A rough estimate would put it between seven to eight hundred. But that was to be expected. Some yers followed the mission guide to other main cities, while a considerable amount had joined the rebel faction. So it was normal that less than a thousand were present here. Those present were all elite members of the major guilds or high-level solo yers. Besides several game hosts gathering around to enthusiastically greet Su Yu, others maintained their etiquette and watched from afar. Most of them had not seen Su Yu before, so upon their first meeting, they immediately acknowledged him with a salute. Everyone was exceptionally attentive towards Su Yu, the most dazzling yer in the game. Before announcing the quest, I want to ask everyone something. Is there anyone who wants to join the guild Ive created? Su Yu thundered. The Yellow Turban Army guild was established not long after entering the city, but currently, he was the only one in it. So with such a great opportunity, he could try to recruit members. Me, me, me! A little red-haired girl quickly bounced out from the crowd. Not only her, but she also brought a beautiful blonde woman along. Hello, Nemesis. I am Sky Dragon. After joining the guild, can I buy Howling Moon Wolf pet eggs from you? Sky Dragon asked cheerfully. Her main reason for joining Su Yus guild was for the Howling Moon Wolf pet eggs. She loves this snow-whiterge dog but had no way to get it. So she can only buy from Su Yu. Of course! Not only the Howling Moon Wolf pet eggs, but you can also buy more valuable pet eggs from me in the future! Su Yu had long known that Sky Dragon was going to join, so he directly sent her an invitation to join the guild. After her sessful admission, he promoted her to the Officer position, so it would be easier for her to invite others to join. Then I can rest assured. Sky Dragon narrowed her eyes happily. Upon joining the guild, she opened the guild exchange list. Sky Dragon originally intended to search directly for the Howling Moon Wolf pet egg. But when she saw the first few items on the list, her eyes bulged in surprise. Level 33 rare equipment! There are level 33 items on the guild exchange list! Brother Nemesis, can you even defeat level 33 monsters?! Chapter 91 - 91: President Chat Room 1 Chapter 91: President Chat Room 1 Trantor: 549690339 Level 33 rare equipment?! Upon Sky Dragons words, all the yers in the square were taken aback. After leaving the novice vige, the yers had some understanding of the mechanism of acquiring equipment. To acquire level 33 equipment, the first method is to level up to 33 andplete tasks equivalent to that level; the second method is to kill level 33 monsters, with a chance of dropping them. Clearly, Nemesis did not adopt the first method. So the question is, how did Nemesis manage to kill a level 33 monster at level 18? Does the level suppression not exist for him? Seeing that the yers present were so interested, Su Yu exined with a slight smile, Its simple. A high-level NPC gave me a buff, and I got it when I killed the level 33 boss, the Demonized Dave. All the people present: This reason seems a bit familiar. The Snow Leopard standing among the crowd looked even darker in the face. Was this the fourth time he had heard this reason? Couldnt Elder Zhange up with another exnation? Apart from Snow Leopard, there were several major guild leaders in the square. At this time, they sessively stepped out of the crowd and approached Su Yu. Hello, Nemesis! Im Shepherd in the Clouds, the president of Mu Yun Guild, and a mage like you, nice to meet you! An emaciated, shrewd, andpetent-looking young man with slightly lower looks than Su Yu walked up to him. It was Su Yus former boss in his past life Shepherd in the Clouds. Hello, Im d to meet you too. Su Yu shook hands with him with a smile. Shepherd in the Clouds, whose real name Zhang Mu, was the son of the chairman of the Mu Yun Group. Su Yu had a pretty good impression of this old boss from his previous life. Shepherd in the Clouds was gentle, reliable, and decisive, without his dads extreme self-interest advocacy. Other leaders of the major guilds also gathered around. Hello Nemesis! Im Summer, the leader of Across the Four Seas. Im the leader of the me Emblem, Laser Pen. No need for introductions, Im the deputy leader of the Emperor Blood Guild, Red -Eyed ck Dragon. Im the leader of Autumn Ends In the end, Snow Leopard also joined in: Hello Elder, I heard that you are giving out tasks here, so I brought over all the members of our guild who are over level 10. Snow Leopard didnt hide his name, so the surrounding guild leaders were taken aback when they saw his name. Snow Leopard was quite well-known. His guild had secured two first-kill achievements out of the six dungeons in the starting vige, and the relevant department was also emerging on the top as the first guild inside the game. But why would Snow Leopard call Nemesis an Elder? Snow Leopard seemed to be a man in his mid-thirties, and Nemesis was a young man in his early twenties. The move of Snow Leopard calling Nemesis Elder felt quite ridiculous at first, but upon thoughtful analysis, it was extremely terrifying. Especially Shepherd in the Clouds. He suddenly thought of the Nemesis First-Person Video he saw this morning, where the NPC guards in the game also called Nemesis a master It seemed that although Su Yu was quite young, his position inside and outside the game was quite high! Seeing that the surrounding guild leaders were stunned, Su Yuughed and broke the impasse: Now that were all gathered, why dont we take this opportunity to set up a chat room. It would be easier tomunicate and contact each other in the future. Good idea! We guild leaders indeed need a tform formunication. This task is a thousand-level operation. With a chat room, we canmunicate andmand more efficiently. None of the guild leaders objected. A chat room called Guild Leader Communication Group was set up quickly. Su Yu was the group owner, with Snow Leopard, Red-Eyed ck Dragon, and Shepherd in the Clouds being the administrators with the privilege of removing group members. The other six guild leaders were ordinary members, after all, their guilds were rtively small in scale. Among them, the biggest, Across the Four Seas, had eight or nine hundred people, the smallest, Autumn Ends, had just over four hundred people. They were considered smallpared to the three major guilds with several thousand people. So they had no objections to not being made administrators. After the chat room was set up, the guild leaders gathered together for a jovial chat. 5 minutester, Su Yu was stillughing and talking with the guild leaders. At this time, Sky Dragon walked over to him and tugged his sleeve: Brother Nemesis, shall we recruit more people into the guild? Well about that. Su Yu hesitated a bit. ording to his original n, he intended to first recruit 100 yers into the guild, using up the inventory dropped by the Wolf King, and at the same time setting up the basic structure of the guild. But the premise of this n wasSnow Fall would be the guild manager to help him manage the guild, which they agreed upon when they were in the novice vige. But when he nced around, he didnt see Snow Fall anywhere. So he looked at Snow Leopard: Wheres Snow Fall? Why didnt shee along with you? You mean Luo Luo? Her school has organized everyone to volunteer in the rural areas, so she cant log on during the day these days. Snow Leopard answered. Volunteering? Could it be the Seventeenth Hope School in East Sea City? Su Yu casually asked. Snow Leopard nodded: Since Luo Luo has already told you about it, yes, its that school. Are you nning to go find her? His smile was getting a bit stiff. Snow Fall had never told him about volunteering. It was just that two days ago, when Su Yu first demonstrated his strength, he went to East Sea University to kill a Soul-Eating Ghost. This Soul-Eating Ghost had previously infiltrated the volunteering activities of the Seventeenth Hope School in his previous life, resulting in hundreds of teachers and students death. Unexpectedly, Snow Fall was also a part of this volunteering activity. Snow Falls life in the previous life was too miserable! She was kicked out of the game for failing toplete the task and then killed by a ghost while volunteering in rural education. Su Yu fell into thought, did he really want to drag Snow Fall into the guild to manage it? Is Snow Falls future fortunate after disaster, or would the bad luck continue? Su Yu didnt know. He decided to observe a while longer before deciding. So Su Yu said to Sky Dragon: Well hold off on recruiting for the guild for now. Well discuss recruitment when the guilds management logs on. But now that youre also an officer of the guild, you can invite friends to join without my approval. Alright, Brother Nemesis. Sky Dragon didnt object. It didnt matter to her how many people were in the guild. But after Sky Dragon interrupted, Su Yu realized that it was time to get down to business. He checked the ninth round of the Princess quest, which was still 20 minutes from starting. So he said aloud to everyone: Now Ill put out the task,e get the task from me! Su Yu opened the task delegation panel and added the task to himself. Soon, a golden exmation mark appeared above his head.. Chapter 92 - 92: 92, Battle scene, Entrance to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated 1 Chapter 92: Battle scene, Entrance to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated 1 Trantor: 549690339 Looking at the golden exmation mark hovering above Su Yus head, many yers felt a desire to retort, but they didnt know where to begin. If Su Yu were an NPC, the exmation mark wouldnt seem out of ce. But hes a yer! A yer with a golden exmation mark issuing quests to other yers, this The sight was bizarre no matter how one looked at it. No matter how strange they felt, yers approached Su Yu one by one to ept his task. Ding! Congrattions, you have triggered therge-scale scenario battle [Giant Wood Canyon Encounter]. Battle Briefing: The Empires Princess Alyssa is about to negotiate with the rebel leader Anzu Seifer in Maple City, and the inevitable path [Giant Wood Canyon] sees her ambushed by unidentified bandits. The bandits are numerous, but the princesss escorting party is very few. Battle Requirements: Assist yer Nemesis to protect the princesss convoy so that damage does not exceed 50%, and Princess Alyssa must survive. (Current damage: 0%) Battle Rewards: Experience Pointsx3000, Spiritual Energy Coinsx10. Upon receiving the quest, yers huddled together to discuss: [Giant Wood Canyon Encounter]? This should be a storyline-rted scenario battle, right? I think so too. The princess discussed her trip to Maple City in yesterdays meeting. The main storyline is way too awesome! It even offers a task with thousands of yers! Theres a lot of experience points for this quest. I really hope such a high-experience quest can ur more often. Su Yu stood still, allowing the yers to ept the quest. Some yers were very interested in the princesss story and asked Su Yu some questions about the plot. Su Yu, having nothing better to do, answered all of their questions. The yers in the scene crowded around Su Yu to receive the quest. Afterpleting, they stepped back, making room for other yers. The whole process was orderly. After about 5 minutes, when half of the yers had epted the quest, an assassin walked over from the edge of the square. This assassins movements immediately attracted the attention of all the yers around, as he was the second-ranked yer on the leaderboard C A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. Before Su Yu arrived at the square, several guild leaders had tried to recruit him but failed. In addition, because A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was quite solitary, he had been standing in a corner of the square all this time. Until now, he finally moved. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated walked over to Su Yu and said, Nemesis, can I join your guild? His words immediately drew the attention of all the guild leaders. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated actually wanted to join Nemesis guild? No wonder he had turned down their invitations. Su Yu looked at A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was a robust man in his thirties. As a martial artist, his bulging muscles could be faintly seen through his leather armor. For such a top-level yer, Su Yu had no reason to refuse and immediately sent him a guild invite. Ding! yer A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated joins the guild. Wee! Why did you want to join my guild? Su Yu asked. Could it be that he was convinced by my kings domineering spirit? Su Yu thought to himself. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated answered, I noticed you since you cleared the [Green Pasture] dungeon. You answered all of the Sheep Vige Chiefs questions correctly, which shows that you have a deep understanding of the game, right? Certainly. Su Yu responded confidently. Can an assassin change ss and be a warrior? Honestly, I dont really like ying an assassin, but I cant bear to restart the game. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated revealed his true intention. Su Yuughed, Of course I know about that. Not only did Su Yu know how to switch from the Thief ss to the Warrior ss, but he could even change A Thousand Cups Unintoxicateds ss to one of Su Yus all-time favourites C the [Martial Artist] ss. This could be achieved through a hidden quest. Really? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicateds eyes lit up: Could you tell me the method to switch sses? Ill meet any requirements you have! Lets add each other as friends and continue private messaging. Su Yu sent a friend request to A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated also knew that it wasnt appropriate to discuss this in public and epted Su Yus friend request without hesitation. The two switched to private messaging. Su Yu: A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, though you want to switch to the Warrior ss, I dont think itll fully satisfy you, will it? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated didnt respond, Su Yus question had hit a nerve. To be a Warrior, one must wear a set of heavy armor to achieve anybat effectiveness, but A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated didnt want to be a clumsy Warrior. In his mind, the Warrior ss only slightly topped the Assassin ss, but it still fell short of his ideal ss. Su Yu continued messaging: I know a ss that will suit you perfectly. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated didnt believe him: What ss? Su Yu: The third expansion Pandaren Empire is going to introduce four new sses: Martial Artist, Taoist, Monk, and Alchemist. The Martial Artist ss would suit you perfectly. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicateds eyes lit up. Being a Martial Artist in reality, the Martial Artist ss of course harmonised with him. But There are still four months until the third expansion is released, right? I suppose Ill have to wait patiently. Su Yu: No, no. I know of a hidden quest which can allow you to switch to the Martial Artist ss ahead of time. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was shocked. Howe Nemesis seemed to know everything? Could he really be a game designer? Besides, a hidden quest that allows early ess to a ss from an uing expansion could fetch at least hundreds of thousands of Flower Coins if sold on the ck Market! Many affluent yers would definitely be willing to buy. Intimidated, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated started to back out. He certainly would not spend hundreds of thousands to acquire this hidden ss. Su Yu continued messaging: I can tell you about this hidden quest but you have to promise to do me a favor. When youre in the Pandaren Empire, I need you to collect some materials for me. In fact, when he first started ying, Su Yu had thought about heading to the Pandaren Empire first. After all, there were no yers there, meaning all of the game resources within the empire were his alone! But after epting two main quests, he shelved the idea. Alright. I agree, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated made up his mind. Good opportunities are fleeting, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated decided to seize this chance. Su Yu: Even though youve agreed, I need to reiterate the pros and cons of bing a Martial Artist. Cons: First, youll be sent to the Pandaren Empire, at least a month will pass before you can return. Second, Martial Artist skill books certainly wont be readily avable for purchase in stores like other sses, being a disadvantage and causing your strength tog behind mainstream yers. Pros: First, youll be transitioning into a ss that suits you perfectly. Second, all the resources in the Pandaren Empire will be yours. For the next four months, you wont have anypetition and you can explore freely. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated thought briefly and responded: I am willing to switch to the Martial Artist ss! Plus, I will collect the materials you need to the best of my abilities. Su Yu was pleased: Great. For the next few days, stay with me. After we finish this mission, I will tell you how to unlock the hidden quest. Alright, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated replied. If the Martial Artist ss really suited him well, hed definitely seize this opportunity. As tor the gaming solitude, he was used to grinding alone in the past; changing location wouldnt be a big deal. I hope the Martial Artist ss really suits me! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated silently wished.. Chapter 93 - 93: 93, Battle of Giant Wood Canyon_l Chapter 93: Battle of Giant Wood Canyon_l Trantor: 549690339 Once all the yers received the mission, Su Yu led them towards the gate of the Royal Pce. Upon reaching the pce gate, Su Yu asked the yers to wait there while he himself followed Keerderon into the pce. Keerderon, how are the preparations for the princesss travel convoy going? Su Yu asked Keerderon while they were on their way to the main hall. Keerderon responded respectfully: Master Nemesis, the convoy is ready and will set out shortly. Hmm. Su Yu nodded slightly without further discussion. A few minutester, five extravagantly decorated carriages adorned with royal crests swiftly exited from a side gate of the pce. Also present was a personal guard of a hundred Holy Knights dedicated to the princess. In these five carriages, the first one was upied by Xier, the foreign minister responsible for negotiations; The second was upied by the Seventh Order Shepherd in the Clouds, Xi Fan; The third one at the centre was, of course, for the princess; Thest two were filled with misceneous items and supplies. The princess was traveling light this time for a quick there-and-back, so her hundred-strong guard was also equipped with horses, as well as food and drink for seven days. Su Yu was sharing the third carriage with the princess. After the convoy left the pce, Su Yu sent a message in the chat room, instructing the nine guild leaders to follow with their yers. The guild leaders promptly notified the yers present in the field. Everyone quickly summoned their mounts to follow the princesss convoy. A small portion of the yers mounts were from a hidden mission in the newbie vige, while others had rented or boughtmon horses from the citys stable. Moreover, everyone present was a seasoned gamer, all aware of the importance of a mount and had immediate procured one upon entering the city. There was no one without a mount. Leading the way was the princesss convoy, while nearly a thousand yers followed behind, marching grandly towards the north city gate. Su Yu was sitting face-to-face with the princess on the third carriage. The yers certainly saw him and couldnt help but feel a mixture of emotions: Look at Master Nemesis, sitting in the carriage and having close contact with the princess Ioli. We can only follow from far behind. The princess Ioli didnt even spare us a nce! Sigh, tell me about it. Be content! ording to the description of the scenario campaign, we are here to assist Nemesis. Perhaps, in the NPCs eyes, we are just irrelevant weeds brought by Nemesis. Believe in yourself, delete the perhaps, we are indeed irrelevant weeds. Forget about that, just perform well in the uing scenario battle. We might catch the eye of some NPCs, leading to some hidden missions. The yers were chatting and making their way at the same time. Meanwhile, the princess was also conversing with Su Yu. The adventurers you recruited seem quite energetic. Princess Alyssa cast a backward nce at this group of adventurers from beyond. These adventurers were all above the first level, their equipment was pretty decent, and their number was almost a thousand. Collectively, they formed a considerable force. Nemesis must have spent a lot of money recruiting them. Itsmendable to have such loyal subjects at this critical time. The princess thought to herself. Ding! The favorability of [Princess Alyssa] towards you +1. Su Yu, after experiencing the explosive increment of favorability points from Tina, was hardly moved by this single point increase. Keeping his expression constant, Su Yu courteously said: Your Highness, ording to the signs from the stars I divinedst night, the forces of Duke Landilus will disguise themselves as bandits to attack your convoy. Landilus? How dare he! Doesnt he know that Master Xi Fan is with my convoy? What if they sent someone to distract Xi Fan? Su Yu looked into the princesss eyes. This The princesss expression turned serious: Where will these rebels attack us? Giant Wood Canyon, Your Highness. Twenty minutes game timeter, at the Giant Wood Canyon. Everybody get ready! We have now reached the Giant Wood Canyon, Snow leopard shouted loudly. Meanwhile, in the chat room, the guild leaders were making their final deployments. The entire team of yers formed into a round defensive formation, with tanks on the outermostyer and assassins and DPS warriors scattered in their midst. Archers and mages stood in the secondyer, protecting the fragile healers in the innermost circle. The Red-Eyed ck Dragon was brimming with confidence, saying in the chat room, This is our first battle under the noses of the NPCs! We must perform well and not let the NPCs look down on us! Shepherd in the Clouds: NPC? Just a string of data. If you take it seriously, youve lost. Snow Leopard: No, no. Theyre more than just a string of data. You need to listen more, watch more, observe more before jumping to conclusions. Shepherd in the Clouds: Reallyis that so? Of course, Shepherd in the Clouds knew what kind of organization Snow Leopards rted department was. They exuded the qualities of iron-blooded soldiers, so anyone with half a brain would know what they were about. With Snow Leopards words, Shepherd in the Clouds immediately believed him most of the way. Could it be this game hides some big secret? While he was contemting, the princesss convoy already entered the Giant Wood Canyon. Suddenly, killing shouts erupted from the hillsides on both sides! Kill! Kill them! Countless regr troops disguised as bandits charged down from the hills on both sides of the canyon. At the same time,yers of area spells appeared in the sky above the convoy. If these spells all came crashing down, the convoy would be smashed to pieces in an instant. Of course, Xi Fan was prepared. The Curtain of Shadow! With a light wave of his dark purple staff, the tier-six defensive spell The Curtain of Shadow was released! The Curtain of Shadow instantly expanded to a diameter of nearly a hundred meters, enveloping the entire convoy. The area magic from the sky fell on The Curtain of Shadow and was quickly nullified, not even leaving a ripple of magic. At tms moment. Xi Fan, your opponent is me! A blinding holy light flew down from the clouds, striking directly at the peak of the canyon, shattering half the peak. Within the scattered debris, a female Holy Knight dressed in golden armor holding a double-handed sword, pointed the swords tip towards Xi Fan. Haha, I wondered who it was. So, its you, Madeline! Transforming into a shadow, Xi Fan flew towards Madeline. The gold and ck figures collided in the sky, causing a series of deafening explosions. Meanwhile, the yers swiftly moved into action, shielding the entire convoy in the middle. They formed the previous round defensive formation, with tanks on the outside and ranged professions and healers on the inside. Although The Curtain of Shadow can block magical attacks, it cannot prevent physical intrusions. The bandits stepped into The Curtain of Shadow one by one,unching an attack on the yers inside. Hey! The tanks charged forward, using their sturdy bodies to withstand the onught of the bandits. The mages and archers, under themand of their respective guild leaders, targeted the AoE wherever possible, focusing fire on single target bandits if not. The healers also raised their staffs, casting rays of healing light towards the wounded yers at the front. The power level of the bandits wasnt high, with ordinary bandits being between level 10 and 20. Under the concentrated fire of the yers, they were quickly defeated. There were over level 30 and even level 50 bandits among them who, after killing a batch of yers, charged into the formation, engaging in battle with the princesss personal guard. The defeated yers patiently waited for one minute to resurrect beside Su Yu, before diving back into the battle. With the cooperation of the yers and the instructions gradually issued through the guild leaders chat room, the orderly assembly of nearly a thousand yers easily withstood the bandits onught.. Chapter 94 - 94: 94, Start taking action! 1 Chapter 94: Start taking action! 1 Trantor: 549690339 The battlefield was gradually growing tense. After a period of probing, the yers had smartened up. If they encounter bandits above level 20, they dont directly engage inbat, using the tanks [Taunt] skill to draw them in and moving them next to the Princesss personal guard, leaving them to be taken care of by the soldiers of the guard. As for bandits under level 20, they rushed in and beat them mercilessly! One by one, the bandits fell, spilling equipment, spiritual energy coins, potions all over the ground. However, no yer picked them up. It had been agreed beforehand that the loot dropped after the battle would be collected by Snow Leopard, who would then calcte the total market value and divide the resulting spiritual energy coins equally among all the yers present. All of their energy was poured into the battle, fighting fiercely. Under the yers coordination and the guild leadersmand and dispatch, the bandits offensive momentum was quickly curbed, and the bnce of victory tipped in favor of the yers. In fact, viewing the entire campaign, it was pretty easy to get through it. The guilds present were all top guilds in the game, filled with experts. The other yers too were all elites, and there were even top yers like A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. Plus, with battlefieldmand on the level of a brigadier general like Snow Leopard, if they couldnt easily win this scenario battle, then the difficulty level of the game would be off bnce. The third minute after the battle started. Su Yu roughly scanned the battlefield situation and knew that victory was assured! At this rate, the Princesss convoy may not even suffer 5% losses, and at most it would be around 3%. The yers all wore confident smiles, knowing that they were certain to win this battle! Since victory was assured, Su Yu was bound to start causing mischief. Not showing off when ahead didnt fit his personality. So, Su Yu said in the chatroom: Listen up, everyone! Send out a notice. Let the yers in the front deliberately expose their weak spots so the bandits can kill them. Healers cut off healing, mages sit down and drink potions to pretend theyre low on mana, as for archers figure out how to ck off on your own. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: ??? Snow Leopard: ??? Shepherd in the Clouds: ??? Summer: ??? A string of question marks came up. Were about to win this battle, whats going on? Su Yu sent a smiling emoji and exined: To be honest, the tasks I assigned to you were all obtained from the NPCs. You guys have to appear defeat after defeat for me to get better tasks from the NPCs. Otherwise, if were close to winning, how would the NPCs want to release high-reward tasks to you? The guild leaders looked at each other. They werent clear about the details, but since these are the words of Nemesis, well The guild leaders: Okay, well listen to you. Under the arrangement of the guild leaders, the originally splendid battlefield situation suddenly turned for the worse, like the plummeting stock price of some Sauce-vored technology. The yers began to ck off. Tanks stopped using their damage reduction abilities and crashed directly into the des of the high-level bandits, assassins were hacked to death after charging into the enemy lines without activating [Stealth], and priests and mages sat side by side, drinking their potions. With everyone cking off, the battle line crumbled in an instant. The bandits charged forward with unstoppable momentum, continuously pressing forward and quickly shifting the battle line to the edge of the Princesss convoy. A high-level bandit shed at the rear carriage, and the degree of convoy loss value jumped from 0% to 2%. Princess Alyssa saw everything, and she was anxious. Everything was fine just then, how could the line suddenly copse? Was it because the adventurers from another world were not strong enough, or was the enemy too powerful? She didnt know about the urrence of a traitor in her ranks using the guild channel and chatroom, and even if she thought about it she couldnt figure out that someone had turned traitor, and it was an all-epassing betrayal like in the Conan Brewery. Seeing the timing was right, Su Yu respectfully said to the princess: Im sorry, Your Highness. My subordinates are weak and might not be able to withstand these bandits. The nearby yers sighed in unison, very much in line with Su Yus performance. Then what should we do? the princess frowned. Cat Morning Star could transform into a dragon and run away with her (for some reason Morning Star couldnt participate in the battle), but this hundred-man guard was her elite force! If they were all lost, she would definitely be pained for a long time. Moreover, the negotiations with Duke Anzu Seifer would naturallye to nothing, which she could not ept. I still have ast resort. Su Yus face became particrly serious: Theres an old saying in our ce, great reward leads to the brave. I want to give these adventurers a generous reward to boost their morale. Of course, its all out of my own pocket, all you need to do is allow me to act in your name. This Princess Alyssa was stunned. Nemesis was willing to help her through the crisis again at his own expense. The only exnation she could think of was that Nemesis wanted to assist her in ascending the throne, exchanging early investments forter rewards. But how could such a good deed not touch people? Okay, go ahead! the princess looked at Su Yu, her eyes especially soft. Ding! The favorability of [Princess Alyssa] towards you +5. Su Yu spun around and shouted to the yers: Hold on everyone, muster your courage! If everyone can drive the bandits out of the Curtain of Shadow, Her Highness the Princess will bestow 50 spiritual energy coins to each one present! At the same time, all the yers on the battlefield received a game prompt: yer Nemesis issued a task to you [Drive the Bandits out of the Curtain], do you ept? Of course, the yers chose to ept. Ding! Congrattions on triggering the scenario campaign side-mission [Drive the Bandits out of the Curtain]. Task requirements: Push the front line outside of [The Curtain of Shadow]. Task rewards: Experience Points X1500, Spiritual Energy Coin X50. This time the spiritual energy coin reward for the task is fixed, and Su Yu cant increase the experience points by reducing the spiritual energy coin. But Su Yu didnt mind, to spend fifty thousand spiritual energy coins for 15,000 experience points, which is uneptable for normal yers, was extremely worth it for him! Moreover, theres the 5-point favorability of the princess. This kind of thing probably cant be exchanged even with tens of millions of spiritual energy coins from goblin merchants. After receiving the task, the yers stopped cking, each one bursting out their peak strength! Tanks activated their damage reduction skills and charged forward, the mages who had already recovered their full magic power roared like turrets, and the healers poured downrge swaths of healing light. The bandits were most deeply affected. A moment ago, these otherworldly adventurers were like chicks under their des. Why had they suddenly be so fierce? It was simply a transition of battle power from being chicks to being geese! The bandits were caught off guard. As the yers counterattacked, their bodies piled up, and the battle line was pushed several meters away from the convoy. Stimted by the task, the yers were full of momentum, while the bandits were so flustered by the sudden change that they lost their feet. With one increase and one decrease, the scales on the battlefield were again tipping towards the yers.. Chapter 95 - 95: 95, Stir up Trouble Again 1 Chapter 95: Stir up Trouble Again 1 Trantor: 549690339 The bandits were no match for the yers. In less than 10 minutes, all bandits below level 20 were driven out of The Curtain of Shadow. However, the yers wouldnt leave The Curtain of Shadow either. Once they left The Curtain of Shadow, they would be under the spell cover of the bandit mages, which would lead to a lose-lose situation. After the bandits were expelled, the yers received a game prompt indicating thepletion of the [Drive the Bandits Out of the Curtain] mission. The 1500 Experience Points were equivalent to 15% of their level one Experience Points, and it was effortlessly obtained, plus they received an additional 50 spiritual energy coins. The yers turned around, looking gratefully at Su Yu. If it werent for Su Yu, where could they find such a rewarding mission! Looking at the smiling faces of the yers, Su Yu stroked his chin and pondered. The situation was back in their favor, was it time to stir things up again? Should he use the same old trick? No, the princess was not a fool. If Su Yu asked the yers to pull back the battle line again, the princess would definitely sense something amiss. However, I could use that method. Suddenly, Su Yu had a bright idea. He decided to go big and end this battle. At the same time, he could squeeze out the maximum benefits of the battle! Thinking about it, he quickly sent a message in the guild leader chat room: Attention everyone! Now you need to have your strongest yers go die, but do not resurrect, stay with me in the soul state. We will probably need 50-80 yers, preferably more mages and archers, no priests. This time the guild leaders didnt ask questions, they immediatelyplied with the message they received. Only Red-Eyed ck Dragon said: Whats your n? Su Yu sent a smile emoticon: Youll know soon. After posting the message in the chat room, Su Yu switched to the guild channel: A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, Sky Dragon, you guys go die to the bandits now, then follow me in soul state. Sky Dragon, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Why? Youll find out. Sky Dragon, is your [Heart Piercing Arrow] skill cooled down? Su Yu asked. Not yet, 11 hours left. Sky Dragon regretted a bit, had he known he wouldnt have yed that unfortunate anchor with one arrow. Su Yu: No problem, just equip yourself well, you can follow as well. At this moment, Swift, who joined the guild with Sky Dragon, spoke up: Do you need me to go? My equipment level is also not bad. Su Yu: No need, priests are not included in the operation this time Oh right, Swift, are you familiar with guild management? Swift: Of course. In the previous holographic game Magic Realm, our King of Games ranked in the top ten across all servers, and I was the vice president. While Red-Eyed ck Dragon was leading the Elite Team, I was managing the internal affairs of the guild. Su Yu: Thats great! After the battle, we can talk about the guilds internal management. Swift: Alright. Sky Dragon was not happy: Hey hey! What are you guys up to? Why are you leaving me out? Su Yu: Not at all, I know of a hidden quest that could reward a panda pet, I was just about to tell you about it. Sky Dragon: Pandas!! Su Yu: Hehe, want to know about it? In the following time, Su Yu was drawning a pie for little lolita Sky Dragon. In thete stages of the game of Su Yus previous life, godly pets were in abundance. However, Sky Dragon always had a verymon panda pet with her, which showed how much she loved pandas. Now just the mention of pandas from Su Yu was enough to attract Sky Dragon, who was easily entranced by his pie drawing. While Su Yu was chatting and bonding with the three guild members, arge number of yer souls were gathering behind him. Su Yu couldnt see these souls, but he still felt a chill on his back. The yers in the state of soul could also send messages, just like now. Snow Leopard (Soul): All right, elder, we now have 80 people gathered, most of whom are archers and mages. Can you start the next phase of the n? su Yu: Yes. The n officially begins. Su Yu turned around, facing Princess Alyssa who was standing beside him, and said seriously, Your Highness, I have an important matter to report to you. Whats the matter? The princess looked at him, her lips curled in a light smile. The princess is in a good mood right now. The battle will soon be won, and her personal guards didnt suffer too much loss. This is the best oue. So she was especially cordial to Su Yu. Su Yu said seriously, Theres an old saying where Ie from, capture the leader first to defeat the enemies. If we take down the leader of these bandits, the rest will fall apart. Su Yu looked towards the top of the canyon where the bandit leader, Landiluss righthand man, John the Baptizer LV70, was standing. He is a berserker. The princess nodded, Of course I know that taking down the enemy leader means victory. But Nemesis cannot participate in the battle, I have no way to take down the enemy leader. Could it be you have a way? Su Yu smiled and nodded, Of course. If Im not mistaken, princess, you certainly have a treasure that can help us adventurers turn defeat into victory. If you give me that treasure, I can take down the enemy leader! Su Yu had experienced quite a few battle scenarios in his previous life. Core NPCs in battles often carry an item that can either buff the yer or weaken the enemy. If the disparity between the yers and enemys strength were too big, the NPC would use this item. (To prevent scenarios where there are too few yers and they couldnt win.) The princess must have brought one this time too. she just didnt use it. Su Yu wanted to use his eloquence to get this item. Here, take it and use it. The princess directly took out a golden badge filled with holy light and shoved it into Su Yus hand without thinking. In her eyes, the reason they were winning this battle was all thanks to Su Yus foreknowledge and recruitment of adventurers from different realms to help. Now that Su Yu mentioned it, she naturally wouldnt be stingy with this badge and directly handed it to him. This also made all the reasons Su Yu had prepared unnecessary. Su Yu epted the badge respectfully, Your Highness, I will not let you down. I will certainly take down the bandit leader! [Badge of Equality Among All Lives (Consumable)] Remaining Usage: 1 Usage effect: Adds up all [levels] of every target within a 40-meter radius and distributes it evenly among all targets. Duration 3 minutes. Note: Can only be used in the [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] battle. Ah, what a pity. Seeing the effect of this consumable, Su Yu sighed silently to himself. He looked at Xi Fan and Madeline, who had already flown to the stratosphere and were battling above the clouds. If he could use the consumable to kill these two, he might have gotten high-ranking legendary gear! Unfortunately, Su Yu couldnt fly, so he couldnt use the badge on them. The badge would have to be used on John the Baptizer. Of course, Su Yu didnt forget to maximize his gains. Regarding this maneuver to take down the bandit leader, there was certainly a mission to issue. Soon, all yers received a game notification: Ding! yer Nemesis has issued the [Kill the Bandit Leader] mission to you. ept? ept. Ding! Congrattions on triggering the scenario battle side mission [Kill the Bandit Leader]. Mission requirement: Kill the bandit leader John the Baptizer Lv70. Mission rewards: Experience Points x10000, spiritual energy coins x10.. Chapter 96 - 96: 96, Kill [Baptist John], Scene Battle Ends 1 Chapter 96: Kill [Baptist John], Scene Battle Ends 1 Trantor: 549690339 Nearby yers, in their soul forms, witnessed all of Su Yus actions. At this point, it all clicked for them: I finally understand what Nemesis is trying to do! I get it too! Our spawn point has to be within 20 meters of Nemesis. As long as Nemesis finds a way to get close to the BOSS, we can respawn next to the BOSS! Yes! Well be like a divine force descending from the heavens, instantly focusing our attacks to annihte the BOSS! This is a stroke of genius! No wonder hes the best yer in the game. From now on, I only recognize Nemesis in this game! The yers praises were endless. Coming back to Su Yu. After he posted the task, he gave a few reminders about the action in the chat room. Then he sprinted towards where [John the Baptizer] was located. A few dashester, he reached the edge of [The Curtain of Shadow]. Upon leaving the curtain, Su Yu cast [Invisibility Skill] and stealthily approached the top of the canyon. The yers were witnessing Su Yus shockingly fast movement speed for the first time and couldnt help but exim: Damn! How can Nemesis run so fast! This speed is terrifying! I cant even drive this fast! As an assassin, this speed puts me to shame. I get it now! A few days ago, the Flying Man Incident of the Sixth Newbie Vige was making waves. Turns out that Flying Man was Nemesis! Stop the discussion, we need to keep up. Alright. Right, lets follow. Over eighty soul-form yers hurriedly followed Su Yu towards the top of the canyon. After leaving the curtain and running for a bit, Su Yu suddenly discovered that getting close to the bandit leader was not as easy as he initially thought. The high-ranking bandits had arge hate radius, and even with his [Invisibility Skill], he would still be detected if he got too close. Furthermore, his epic-grade [Invisibility Skill] onlysted for 30 seconds and had a cooldown time of 3 minutes. The 30 seconds time frame was not sufficient for him to approach [John the Baptizer]. Helplessly, Su Yu had no choice but to bypass the bandit army and make a big detour through the forest behind them. After circling around for a considerable distance and spending about 10 minutes, Su Yu finally appeared 65 meters behind [John the Baptizer], hiding behind arge tree. As a level-70 BOSS, [John the Baptizer] has a vignce range of over 100 meters. However, given the noisy battlefield now, and that the BOSS had his attention entirely on the battlefield below the canyon, he didnt pick up on Su Yus approach at all. Now, Su Yu was just one step away from achieving his n. Standing behind the tree, Su Yu pressed his back against the tree, attempting to breathe as slowly as possible. He sent a message in the chat room: Snow Leopard, is everyone ready? Snow Leopard (Soul): Were ready, of course. Snow Leopard looked at the group of yers in front of him, appearing somewhat helpless. Unlike Su Yu, who had to detour, these yers, in their soul forms, came straight over and were much faster than Su Yu. However, some closebat yers, perhaps out of boredom or excitement, were constantly using skills such as p, Spit, Deadly Chicken Peck on John, leaving the usually sober Snow Leopard somewhat helpless. Su Yu: Good, notify everyone to focus their attention on the Respawn button. Respawn as soon as the button lights up. Got it! Snow Leopard immediately ryed the orders over the channel. Su Yu waited for several more seconds behind the tree. Feeling that the timing was just right, he calmly emerged from behind the tree and switched to the [Vige Chiefs Staff]. Huh? [John the Baptizer] sensed something amiss and turned back to look. But it was toote. Woosh! Woosh! Woosh! Three shes of white light sped past, and Su Yu used the [sh Skill] to cross 45 meters to get closer to the BOSS. Thending spot was only 20 meters away from the BOSS! At the same time, numerous white lights of resurrection shone brightly around Su Yu, and over 80 yers respawned instantly! Su Yu swiftly crushed the [Badge of Equality]. Eerie hum A golden wave of light spread out from his hands, covering the entire area within a 40-meter radius. There were 4 guards, over level 50, around [John the Baptizer]. Once hit by the light wave, their levels dropped drastically, plummeting straight down to level 12! The yers, under the buff of the light wave, were elevated to level 13, equal to the BOSS. The yers got excited. One by one, they activated their strongest attacks and directed them at the BOSS. Within moments, arrows and spells flew everywhere, swords and daggers glistened. Layers uponyers of damage numbers popped up from [John the Baptizer], his health was dropping at an rming rate of 2% per second. [John the Baptizer] obviously realized hed been ambushed. But faced with such a predicament, he had no way out. Originally, as a fifth-order powerful entity, he could levitate and wasnt afraid of being surrounded. However, after his level was reduced, he couldnt even fly, let alone execute many of his powerful skills. [Cross sh], [Mountain Breaker Blow], [Rage Burst], [Soul Devouring Hand] All [John the Baptizer] could do was futilely utilize low-level skills to attack yers. Although his skill attacks had a great force and could insta-kill, a single [Cross sh], for instance, could reduce a well-equipped defensive warrior to nothing. But there were simply too many yers, and they were raining down an overwhelming amount of spells and attacks that kept him suppressed. The BOSSs subordinates nearby were in much worse shape than the BOSS himself. The attacks of the BOSSs subordinates couldnt insta-kill tank yers of their level, and they also didnt have as much health as their boss. It didnt take long after the fight started for them to be critically injured from all the ranged attacks, and yers like Snow Leopard and A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated killed them instantly with their string of high-damagebos. The bandits, engaged inbat at the base of the canyon, also noticed something odd. Turning back, they found that theirir had been infiltrated. The bandits rushed back to help. However, the top of the canyon was too far from its base, and the princesss royal guard definitely wouldnt let them pass. By the time the high-ranking bandits could muster up enough force to rush back to help, [John the Baptizer] had already been beaten to a pulp by the yers insane output for over a minute, with his health bar emptied and his longsword slipping from his grasp onto the ground. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the side task [Kill the Bandit Leader]. Reward: 1000 Experience Points, 10 spiritual energy coins. Please collect your reward from yer Nemesis. Ding! Bandit leader [John the Baptizer] has been killed, the bandits morale copses, they can no longer fight and have begun to flee. Ding! Congrattions on finishing the Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon, your task rating is in calction Task evaluation determined, the rating for this scenario campaigns is S grade rewards: all experience points and spiritual energy coins gained from the entire campaign +20%, one piece of randomly assigned superior green equipment that suits the yers level and profession. Thank you for your enthusiastic participation, the [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] scenario campaign has officially ended! Chapter 97 - 97: 97, Up two more levels! 1 Chapter 97: Up two more levels! 1 Trantor: 549690339 We have won! We have won! After the battle, the yers waved their weapons, shouting joyfully. Although this battle was not heart-stoppingly thrilling, the feeling of unity and oveing a formidable enemy felt incredibly satisfying and gave every yer present a great sense of achievement! Not only the yers who took part in the battle, but also others who discussed the battle extensively. This battle was the firstrge-scale one in the game, and participants included top guilds and top yers, even the legendary yer Nemesis was leading a team. Thus, this battle garnered widespread attention throughout the game. Not only did many discussion threads appear in the official forum, but there were even live text broadcasts covering the entire battle. Several of the yers participating in the battle were game anchors, who clearly broadcasted the battlefield dynamics through their live rooms. Many yers went offline to watch the live broadcast, cheering for the major guilds, and top-tier yers offline. Many yers also saw Nemesis for the first time in the live broadcast room. Returning to the game. After this battle, Su Yu became acquainted with nine guild leaders, and the initial awkwardness disappeared. Everyone jovially gathered around the body of [Baptist John], ready to check the dropped items. Shepherd in the Cloudsughed and said, Which of you has a lucky hand? That person should loot the body. Red -Eyed ck Dragon wanted to rmend someone, but stopped himself just as he was about to speak. Su Yu noticed Red -Eyeds expression and said with a smile, Let Sky Dragon loot the equipment; she is rather lucky. Who called me? Who called me? Sky Dragon hopped over excitedly. However, Red-Eyed ck Dragon was shocked: Nemesis, how did you know Sky Dragon is lucky? Su Yu kept a straight face and said, Because I understand prophecies, I can see into the future. See into the future? Red-Eyed ck Dragon was skeptical: Then do you know where I will be a year from now? Su Yu nodded, A year from now youll die at the hands of aliens. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Ha ha ha ha! The scene burst intoughter. Everyone thought Su Yu was joking so they didnt take it seriously. Only Snow Leopard touched his chin thoughtfully. Predicting the future? Is that really possible? At this moment, Sky Dragon has picked up the drop bag from the BOSS. Upon opening a small opening, a purple glow burst from the bag. A an epic item?! All the guild leaders stared at the bag. At the current stage, yers mainly had white and green items, and elite yers supported byrge guilds or wealthy yers could equip one or two blue items among their green items. This was a purple item! It probably was the first purple item any yer could get in the game! Sky Dragon quickly extricated the item and disyed it for all the yers to see. [Blood Dance Crescent de IV13 (Epic)] Attack Power: 41-51 Strength +15 Physical Critical Rate +3% Additional Skill: [Sword Draw sh] When executing [Sword Draw sh], 12 blood butterflies will be generated where the de passes. Equipment Introduction: Blood butterflies are delicious and are an indispensable dish for royal banquets C Count dimir. The [Blood Dance Crescent de] was a one-handed weapon that provides a boost in strength and only warriors and Holy Knights could equip it. Su Yu didnt pay any further attention after a nce because he couldnt equip it. However, the warriors and Holy Knights present had a spark in their eyes. I propose that everyone bid for this equipment. The highest bid will take it! Red -Eyed ck Dragon was the first to speak. I agree! I agree too! All the warrior and Holy Knight yers present agreed one after another. Since no one objected, an intense bidding war immediately began. Ill offer 1000! Red-Eyed ck Dragon was the first to speak up. 1000 is too low? I offer 1200! Across The Four Seas leader, Summer, immediately responded. Ill offer 1400 said another guild leader. Su Yu was not interested in their bidding. He nced at the remaining items that the BOSS dropped, found that there was nothing he could use, picked up the quest item [Baptist Johns emblem], and went to find the princess to report on the mission. Beside the princesss convoy. Su Yu handed the emblem to the princesss attendant and said respectfully, Your Highness, the enemy leader John has been eliminated by me. The bandits have started to flee, and they will no longer pose a threat to you and the convoy. The princess nodded happily, Well done, Nemesis! Master Xi Fan has also repelled the enemys powerful yer Madeline. After the master returns, we will continue on our way to Maple City. Yes, Your Highness. Su Yu replied. Ding! Main quest [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire] (10/100) has beenpleted, rewards are World Prestige 2 points, and Experience Points X1000. The rewards for this mission were the precious World Prestige, which brought Su Yus total World Prestige to 5 points. I need to save up to 10 points soon! With 10 points, I will be able to purchase territory. Su Yu thought to himself. As hepleted the task, a golden light shed over Su Yu, and he sessfully leveled up to 19. Su Yu was already closing in on the experience points needed to level up, and the rewarded 1000 points filled up the bar and leveled him up to 19. When they saw the golden light emanating from Su Yu, all the surrounding yers were rather numb. Nemesis leveled up again! Now the difference between his level and the second ce is 9 levels, right? Why do you stand out among all yers? Su Yu didnt look at the level leaderboard; he loudly announced to the surrounding yers, Everyonee in batches to submit your tasks, dont crowd. I trust that everyones quite satisfied with this mission, right? Of course, very satisfied! Thank you, Nemesis, for issuing this mission! The rewards are so generous, we hope theres a next time! The yers all smiled happily. The rewards for this mission exceeded their expectations. 6600 high-value experience points, 84 spiritual energy coins, and the bandits droppings, where each yer could harvest more than a hundred spiritual energy coins, and there was also a random green equipment reward. The yers all shot Su Yu grateful nces; without Nemesis, they certainly would not have gotten such a richly rewarded task. The yers crowded around Su Yu to submit their tasks. The 84 spiritual energy coins were from Su Yus own pocket, and the green equipment was given by the system. Ding! yer Lost Reality haspleted the task, you receive 66 Experience Points as a reward, and lose 83 Spiritual Energy Coins. Ding! yer Falling in Love with Horses, Owning a Prairie haspleted the task, you receive 66 Experience Points as a reward, and lose 84 Spiritual Energy Coins. Ding! yer Hand Tearing Gundam haspleted the task, you receive 66 Experience Points as a reward and lose 83 Spiritual Energy Coins. As the yerspleted the task one by one, Su Yus system log filled up rapidly. Leveling up from 19 to 20 required 28,000 experience points; from 20 to 21 required 30,000 experience points; from 21 to 22 required 33,000 experience points. So, with more than 900 yers handing in the mission one after the other, he obtained about 60,000 experience points! His experience bar filled up twice, ultimately stopping at 21 levels and 6%. This battle allowed Su Yu to level up two more times! Chapter 98 - 98: 98, Ranking List Changes, Free Game Experience Tips_l Chapter 98: Ranking List Changes, Free Game Experience Tips_l Trantor: 549690339 With yers handing in their quests one after another, huge changes started appearing on the level leaderboard. The level leaderboard only disys the top 100 yers, aptly nicknamed the Top 100 Board by the yers. On the leaderboard, the original top five yers, Frost Red Tea, Cang Shan You Jing, and Emperor Blood ys the Sky, had fallen to around 80th ce, and the top spots were taken over by yers who had participated in the battle. On the current leaderboard, Su Yu retained his first ce at Level 21 with 6% experience points; The second ce was still held by A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated at Level 11 with 23% experience points; But the rankings below them had shifted. Ranking third now was Shepherd in the Clouds at Level 11 with 5% experience points; At fourth ce was Snow Leopard, Level 10 with 99% experience points; The gap between Su Yu and the second ce had widened again, reaching an astonishing 10 levels! By now, it seemed unlikely any other yer would be ambitious enough to surpass him in terms of levels, right? As for the changes on the level leaderboard, the yers surrounding Su Yu were all thrilled. Especially those who made it onto the leaderboard, their excitement was beyond words. Mr. Zhang, I made it onto the leaderboard! This is my first time on the leaderboard, ranked 86th! Congrattions! I was quite close to making it too, I only missed the 100th ce by 3% experience points. Those who didnt participate in the battle mustve lost a lot! Totally! Just like Zhan Tianjian, who used to be 10th and held great power in the novice vige. He even charged tolls at the entrance of the vige. Just look at him now, he fell out of the Top 100! Let me see Thats true! Zhan Tianjian really did fall out! This is certainly a cause for celebration! Zhan Tianjian had already denied and disproved the vige entrance toll rumors many times on the forum. However, as the saying goes, rumors are easy to start but hard to quell. Many yers still had a bad impression of him. As a result, they all apuded and celebrated when he fell out of the Top 100. Of course, some yers noticed Su Yus level and were stunned: Did I see that wrong?! [Nemesis] just leveled up to 19 and now he is already at Level 21?! What the! He really is Level 21! I was just so excited about gaining 6600 experience points, but he leveled up twice directly, gaining even more experience points! One of the yers questioned Su Yu: [Nemesis], did we get different amounts of experience points? In response to the yers question, Su Yu smiled slightly: Of course, its not the same. Its like in the Qing Dynasty, when a famine urs, and the court sends relief funding, do you think the peasants or the officials handling the relief would get more? The yers were moved to tears at Su Yus words. What [Nemesis] said made so much sense, they seemed to have no right to gain the same amount of experience points as him. Snow Leopard was also standing beside Su Yu at this moment, having justpleted his quest. Looking at the level leaderboard, his name had made it to the top five for the first time. But when he saw the huge 1v21 in front of [Nemesis], he was filled with a deep sense of powerlessness. It seemed [Nemesis] would hold the first ce forever! However, after hearing [Nemesis]s relief funding argument, he began to feel more hopeful: Senior, is there any way for us to be the relief officials? Can you share the method with us? Name your price! After thinking a bit, Su Yu replied with a cheerful smile: I can tell you but I wont require any reward, I am happy to share this information for free. The reason Su Yu didnt want any reward was that earning the trust of an NPC, especially an NPC that could assign a thousand-yer quest, was not easy. Su Yu was able to gain the princesss trust because firstly, he knew the plot trajectory as a reincarnator, and secondly, he had be a highly prestigious senior schr. As for other yers although there were thousands of elites present, Su Yu was not optimistic about their prospects of gaining the trust of a top-tier NPC at least not for the next five or six months. Instead of asking for rewards, it was better to generously share the information and have everyone owe him a favor. Hearing that Su Yu was going to share his gaming experience for free, the yers nearby quickly gathered around him, forming a tight circle. They held their breaths, looking at him with eager eyes. In the yers eyes, Su Yu not only provided them with high-experience quests, he was also sharing his gaming insights for free. Where else could they find such a kind and generous top-ranked yer? Everyone looked at him with respect. Su Yu stood still on the spot. Once there were enough yers gathered around him, he began: Actually, it all started when I joined the [Schrs Temple] Su Yu briefly narrated how he joined the temple, received the [Senior Schr Badge], gained the princesss trust and ended up taking over the task dispatch on her behalf. As for how he easily obtained the [Senior Schr Badge], Su Yu exined that he was luckily able to answer 30 questions correctly in the novice vige library which happened to be the 30 questions on the test, hence he passed with ease. After listening to Su Yus story, the yers exchanged bewildered looks. Red -Eyed ck Dragon eximed, So thats how it is! Gaining the trust of an NPC allows you to dispatch quests on their behalf. Snow Leopard frowned, But, apart from how difficult it is to gain an NPCs trust, the 1% reward seems too little! Shepherd in the Clouds sighed, At 1%, unless you assign quests on the scale of [Nemesis], gathering thousands of yers, the profit wont be substantial. Summer shook his head, Only top-tier NPCs like [Princess Alyssa] can issue suchrge-scale quests, and we dont have ess to such NPCs at the moment. Yes! Thats right, the highest-ranking official Ive met is the head of the novice vige. The yers sighed in dismay. However Su Yu suddenly changed the subject, If Im not mistaken, there should be another field battle on Princesss way back to the Goldfinch City. If you arent bothered by the reward this time, youre wee to join again! At Su Yus words, the yers became excited once again: We dont mind, we dont mind at all, how could we?! Ill sign up first! Count me in. When is the next battle starting? I will set an rm right away. Su Yu shook his head, The start time of the battle is unknown even to me, and the battle itself is only my spection. If it does happen, I will announce it on the forum. Fine, I will follow you on the forum right away! Switching to refreshing the forum every 10 minutes. The location of the task should be at Maple City, we might as well do the task there while we wait. Thats a good idea. Lets go to Maple City! Anyway, thank you, [Nemesis]! [Nemesis] is forever godlike! Chapter 99 - 99: 99, Maple City, Duke Seifer, Negotiation 1 Chapter 99: Maple City, Duke Seifer, Negotiation 1 Trantor: 549690339 Ten minutester, Xi Fan descended from the clouds. The chest part of his magic robe was almost shattered, and a half-meter long, heavily glowing hole was torn in his chest and abdomen. Furthermore, his face turned purplish-ck, clearly indicating he was severely injured. Master Xi Fan, are you seriously injured? the princess asked with concern. Im fine, just minor injuries, Xi Fan answered, As for Madeline, she was hit by my Shadow Frenzy. In less than a week, her soul will disintegrate and she will die. Youve worked hard. Everything is for the Empire. Xi Fan turned into ck smoke, flying back into the carriage. The princess sighed slightly, looking towards Keerderon at her side: Regroup, and continue towards Maple City. Yes, Your Highness. Keerderon took themand and left. Su Yus mission log was also updated. Ding! Your main questline has been updated! [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (11/100)]. Mission requirement: Continue escorting [Princess Alyssa]s convoy to Maple City. Mission reward: 300 Experience Points. After the battle ended, the yers originally wanted to apany Su Yu to Maple City. But upon hearing that it would take three days of in-game time or six real-world hours to travel to Maple City, the yers all decided to return to Goldfinch City. However, they were able to teleport to Maple City using a yer-exclusive magic circle, which wouldnt disrupt participating in the next campaign. In the end, only Su Yu followed the princesss convoy, continuing towards their destination. The rest of the journey was smooth sailing, without any attacks. Six hourster, the convoy arrived at their destinationMaple City. At the city gate of Maple City, Duke Anzu Seifer and his men had been waiting for them for a while. Anzu Seifer was a middle-aged man in his forties with ck hair and a beard, giving off an impression of mature seriousness. He was currently wearing ck armor and riding a tall and majestic ck war horse, looking in the direction of the princesss convoy. Above the city gate, more than a hundred powerful figures hovered in the air. In-game yers and NPCs ranked fifth grade and above possess the ability to fly, and these more than one hundred fifth-grade strongmen were the direct subordinates of Duke Seifer. The appearance of these strongmen in the sky above the city gate was not only to wee the princess but also to show off their strength. After the princesss convoy arrived, Duke Seifer led his strongmen to greet them. Honorable Princess Alyssa, Master Xi Fan, we meet again! Duke Seifer dismounted from his horse, bowing slightly towards the princess and Xi Fan, a warm smile on his face. Xi Fan did not respond, only nodding slightly. He looked at the over one hundred powerhouses hovering in the sky, a trace of gravity shing in his eyes. The princess, holding Cat Morning Star, slowly walked down from the carriage, a smile on her face as well: Im very happy to see you again, Your Grace. The two approached each other, shaking hands lightly. Although they were mortal enemies on the battlefield, everyone maintained calmposure during negotiations. Lets go into the city. Ive prepared a top-tier wee banquet for you. The citys nobles and high-ranking powers will attend. I hope we all can have a delightful evening, Duke Seifer said courteously. You are too kind. Princess Alyssa returned to the carriage while holding Cat Morning Star, and Duke Seifer mounted his horse once more. Under the dukes lead, the convoy entered Maple City. Maple City was arge city in the northeastern part of the Empire, roughly the same size as Orleans City where Tina resided, with a poption of about 400,000. That night, Duke Seifer hosted a grand wee banquet for the princess. Su Yu was not qualified to attend the banquet. Su Yus main storyline required him to report to the dukes castleWolf Howl Castlethe next day, which would start two hourster. In these two hours, Su Yu went to the leveling area outside the city to farm monsters, easily passing the time. Two hourster, Su Yu came alone to Wolf Howl Castle located in the wealthy western district of Maple City. Wolf Howl Castle was a giant castle nearly 20 meters high and four stories tall. There were arrow slits and watchtowers at the top of the castle, and a broad moat at the bottom of the castle. This was Duke Seifersir. Su Yu showed the badge given by the princess to the gatekeepers and smoothly entered the castle. He made his way to the conference room on the second floor of the castle. In the conference room, the princesss side and Duke Seifers side each sat on opposite sides of the long table. Su Yu arrived just in time, so when he got there, the negotiation had just started. Of course, Su Yu didnt qualify to sit at the table. He stood behind the princess, serving as part of her entourage. After some small talk, the negotiation between the two factions began. The princess came this time ostensibly for peace and to call a halt to the war. So, not long after the negotiation began, the minister in charge of negotiating, Xier, put forward their proposal: Your Grace, my suggestion is for the Goldfinch Royal Family and Kalet to rule separately along the Luminous River, with each side guaranteeing not to invade the other for 30 years. The Luminous River was arge river flowing through the central axis of the Goldfinch Empire from east to west. If both parties agreed to rule separately along the river, the division of the Goldfinch Empire into two was a foregone conclusion. Duke Seifer put his hands together and held them to his mouth, his expression somewhat solemn: I agree with your idea, but I have a requirement Goldfinch City must be ours. Thats impossible, Your Grace, Xier hurriedly replied, Goldfinch City is a symbol of the Royal Family, we cannot.. Wait a moment, Xier, the princess interrupted her foreign minister, her gaze calm as she looked at Duke Seifer, I can make a decision to concede Goldfinch City to you. Your Highness the foreign minister Xier was very unwilling. But I have one condition, the princess continued, Duke Landilus also needs to send a representative, and sign on the treaty. Landilus Duke Seifer frowned. Within Kalet, Duke Seifer has always argued for stopping and consolidating their gains. They had already taken over half of the Goldfinch Empire, which was toorge, and needed a long time to digest and absorb. But Landilus didnt agree. Landilus is a pro-war faction. He advocates wiping out the Goldfinch Royal Family in one fell swoop, without leaving the royal family any chance to recuperate and rise again. The viewpoints of the two have their reasons, yet they strongly disagree with each other. To make Landilus agree to the current negotiation conditions would be very difficult indeed. Your Grace, lets be frank. The princess spoke seriously, If Duke Landilus does not agree with our agreement, then even if wee to an agreement, it wont be of much use, dont you agree? Duke Seifer nodded: Youre right, Landilus is indeed an obstacle we cannot surmountso be it, I will send a magicalmunication to Landilus right now. His envoy should be able to arrive by tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we three parties will start the formal negotiation. Alright, Your Grace. I hope we can reach an agreement soon. The princess stood up and shook hands with Duke Seifer. The princesss first negotiation in Maple City had thus ended.. Chapter 100 - 100: 100, Delay Time_l Chapter 100: Dy Time_l Trantor: 549690339 After the negotiation ended, Su Yus mission log was updated. Ding! [Goldfinch Empires Glory (12/100)] ispleted, and experience points X500 have been gained. The next round of the mission will start in 60 minutes. Stay tuned. Is that it? Leaving Wolf Howl Castle, Su Yu was riding Dima down the high street in the affluent district, stretchingzily. But his mind was still rehashing and analyzing the negotiation that just took ce. Although the negotiation seemed foolish and ludicrous, having hardly begun before it had to be paused due to special reasons. However, Su Yu knew that hidden beneath the negotiation table was an incrediblyplex game of wits. Moreover, there were no losers in this game. All three parties involved achieved their objectives. Why do I say that? Its simple. The princess, Duke Seifer, and Duke Landilus each had different goals, but they all surprisingly agreed on one approach C to dy time. All three parties were stalling for time. Lets start with the princess. On the surface, the princess appeared to be the one most eager to reach an agreement. She rushed all the way to Maple City only to negotiate as quickly as possible. But Su Yu knew she was just stalling. In fact, the princess didnt want to reach an agreement with the rebels. She was using the negotiation as an excuse to buy time for the king, her father, to gather his army and also buy time for her own covert ns and secret traps. Then theres Duke Anzu Seifer. Duke Seifer wanted to extend the negotiation period as much as possible, preferably until the royal army was fully gathered. This way, Catters forces wouldnt be able to invade from the south, so hed have achieved his goal C not going to war with the royal family, but instead consolidating the territories he had already upied. Duke Seifer was thinking even further ahead, however: Despite the Goldfinch Empire being the strongest human kingdom in the world, there are two other human empires out there. If they were to eliminate the royal familypletely as Landilus nned, the Empire would be severely weakened, and the other two empires might be tempted to strike. So, he came up with the idea to stall. Moving on to thest power faction C Duke Landilus, he was also ying for time. Landiluss first attack n against the princess had failed, but they could stillunch a second one! A second assault on the princess was already brewing. They only needed ample time to prepare. The longer the Princess stayed in Maple City, the more time they had to n their attack. Thats why the envoy waste to arrive. All three parties wanted to prolong the negotiation, hence the ridiculous situation at the negotiation table C hardly a few words were exchanged before a postponement was announced. As Su Yu analyzed carefully, he soon figured out the whole course of events. But after all, he was just a yer, and analyzing these things didnt do him much good. He couldnt get involved in this high-level scheming. It was best to just focus onpleting his missions. With an hour to kill, Su Yu went to the market to select some quality fodder for Dima. Once Dima had eaten and drunk her fill, Su Yu rode her to the training zone to level up. The level 20-25 training zone in Maple City was on the frosty cliffs to the east. Though the monsters here were quite rare, Su Yu spotted a familiar face C the Hydra. [Frost Hydra IV20] HP: 1750 Attack power: 48 Skills: [Frost Breath], [Ferocious Bite], [Frost Skin (Passive)] Description: Hydra, with multiple heads, voracious mouths, flits and flops, never resting. Apart from the [Frost Hydra], there were also the [Cliff Hydra IV22] and the [Rock Hydra IV23] in this area. Thest time he encountered hydras was when he went into the Zanga Marsh with Tina. This made Su Yu secretly admire the survival skills of the hydra n. Hydras really can survive in any condition! They can live in swamps, withstand the cold cliffs, and it seems there even exists a [me Hydra] inva. What a formidable race! Su Yu gave a mental thumbs-up to the hydras. But that didnt hinder his training, Su Yu stashed Dimas horse tag into his backpack and started leveling up. After reaching level 20, the rate of monster spawns in the wild dwindled. On top of that, the overall attributes of the monsters increased, so Su Yus leveling speed wasnt as fast as when he was at a lower level. But Su Yu didnt mind. Every little bit helps after all. Besides, he wasnt too familiar with Maple City, so other than leveling up, he didnt have much else to do. About 40 minutester, an armoured NPC guard came riding up to the edge of the leveling zone. The guard looked around and quickly spotted Su Yu, who was casting spells at a hydra. He hastily waved, Master Nemesis, its me, Keerderon! It was Keerderon, the princesss personal guard, who had asked around and finally found Su Yu in the training zone. Oh, its you! After taking care of the Sphinx in front of him, Su Yu turned to him: What brings you here sote? Is there a Lark Street in Maple City too? Do you want to take me there? Su Yu had long heard of the Lark Street in Golden Sparrow City, but it wasnt open to yers. Hed heard that he might be able to get in if an NPC took him, hence the question. Ha! No way. Keerderon shook his head awkwardly: Were in Maple City on official business, we cant go to such frivolous amusement ces The princess has sent me to see you, she has an important matter to discuss with you! Oh? The princess wishes to see me? Su Yu was somewhat surprised. It was already 10 0clock at night, and the idea that the princess wanted to see him couldnt be However, remembering the princess was only 14 years old, Su Yu immediately felt a giant censorship beast ring at him from behind. With a serious face, he said, Since it is the princesss request, we should set off immediately! Alright, Ill lead the way. Keerderon turned his horse around. About ten minutester, Su Yu and Keerderon returned to Maple City and arrived at the residence provided for Princess Alyssa. The residence Duke Seifer had provided for the princess was arge, beautiful estate. Even though it was already 10 p.m., the estate was still brightly lit. Eye-catching rare flowers, sculptures, ponds, and fountains were everywhere. Various servants and maids came and went in the estate, but these people were most likely Duke Seifers spies. Upon entering the estate, Keerderon did not look around and walked straight towards the deepest part of the estate. Su Yu naturally followed closely. In arge hall deep in the estate, Su Yu saw Princess Alyssa again. At the same time, Su Yus quest log was updated again: Ding! Your main questline has been updated! [Goldfinch Empires Glory (13/100)]. Task requirement: Understand [Princess Alyssa]s worries and fulfill her request. Task Reward: Random award ording to taskpletion.. Chapter 101 - 101: 101, Princess’s favorability increases, main storyline Chapter 14_1 Chapter 101: Princesss favorability increases, main storyline Chapter 14_1 Trantor: 549690339 Deep inside the manor, in one of the reception rooms, Su Yu saw Princess Alyssa. It was as if Alyssa had just taken a bath, wearing her snow-white loungewear. No emblematic headpiece adorned her head, and her hair was loosely draped over her shoulders instead. She did not resemble the dignified princess right now, but adopted more of a girl-next-door aura instead. Alyssa sat as the master of the hall, cradling Cat Morning Star in her arms, looking a bit tired. Your Highness, what important matter do you have that you call me over thiste? Upon entering the hall, Su Yu immediately paid respects to the princess. You came! Seeing Su Yu, the princess perked up a little. She rose from her seat and slowly walked towards Su Yu. Cat Morning Star opened its eyes from inside Alyssas embrace. Sweeping with its paw, a semi-transparent shield enveloped both Su Yu and Alyssa. Of course, Su Yu recognized this shield. [Sound Barrier]. It appeared that Alyssa had something important to say. Alyssa sauntered up to Su Yu, stopping about a meter away from him. This was the first time Su Yu had spoken with the princess at such close proximity. So close, he could even feel the princesss breath. Yet, the princess did not speak. She merely stood in front of Su Yu, her sparkling eyes surveying him. Su Yu found the princesss behavior a bit strange. What exactly was wrong with the princess today? Had she suddenly taken a liking to him? This was impossible, as the favorability level hadnt increased. If this wasnt the case, what was the reason? Su Yu couldnt find out. Since he couldnt figure it out, he decided to stop pondering. Su Yu stood unmoving, maintaining his respectful posture. About a minuteter, Princess Alyssa finally sighed lightly: Too weak. Too weak? Youre referring to Su Yu exhaled, d that the princess had finally spoken. Your power, its too weak. The princess turned her back towards Su Yu and slowly walked back towards the head seat, If your power reached above the fifth order, you could provide me with much greater help. Every persons power increases gradually. Su Yu spoke with a small smile, I might be weak now, but just as a humble caterpir transforms into a butterfly, I will stand at the peak of the world one day, overlooking the earth! Err, that perhaps sounded a bit naive, Su Yu quickly reflected. But then: Ding! [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you has increased by 2 points, and it has risen to indifferent. Ding! Congrattions, you have gained 3 World Prestige points. Su Yu was slightly surprised, who would have thought his naive words would win him Alyssas favor? In addition, Princesss favor astrally increases World Prestige! Tina, look at her! Su Yu started speaking of Tina, who was far away in Orleans City. If Tinas favorability could increase World Prestige, he would have gained his own fiefdom, and enjoyed a warm home with his wife and kids long ago. No wait, he didnt have a wife. Su Yu began to drift in thought. Having returned to her seat, the princess asked, Nemesis, regarding this mornings negotiation, do you have any opinions? It wasnt until then that she started getting down to business. Hearing the princess mention the morning negotiation, Su Yu sighed in relief. Thankfully, he had conducted a detailed analysis of the entire negotiation process. If he was like the other yers who merely rushed through the tasks without paying attention to the story, and couldnt answer, the favorability that the princess increased might just be lost. Su Yu gathered his thoughts and gave his spection: From my observations, Your Highness, you were just buying time during the negotiation. On one hand, you were waiting for the army at Forest City to assemble, on the other hand Not just you, Duke Seifer was also buying time, intending to Coincidentally, Duke Landilus is also buying time. If my judgment is correct, he will attack you on your return journey to Goldfinch City Su Yu exined his analysis in detail. Listening to Su Yus analysis, the princesss eyes gradually began to light up, showing a look of appreciation. Although Su Yus abilities were quite unremarkable, his analytical skills were truly admirable. His spection about her movements and purpose coincided perfectly with her own intentions. Was this the foretelling schrs greatest strength? Even Cat Morning Star peeked out from the princesss embrace, looking at Su The human in front of it seemed quite young, but he seemed to have some ability. It might be useful for something in the future Hearing Su Yus analysis, the princess nodded in agreement: Correct, just as you have stated, we are indeed buying time. How long are you nning to stall? Ideally, we would stall for half a month. The princess answered: After half a month, the Forest Citys assembly will beplete, and my goal would be aplished. Half a month? Su Yu rubbed his chin, falling into thought. Half a month wasnt a long time. Yet, half a month was sufficient for Duke Landilus to make his preparations. When they returned to Goldfinch City, there was bound to be a major battle, the scene of battle would inevitably be much more difficult than the previous one. Alyssa, unaware of Su Yus thoughts, continued to speak, But, we cant sit idle during this half month Nemesis, can I trust you? Of course, Im always your staunchest ally. Su Yu responded promptly. Very well! Then, let me tell you the real reason why I called you here today. The princess spoke: In fact, after we entered the city, we have been under the strict surveince of Duke Seifer. It is difficult for me to stay in contact with my undercover agent in Maple City. But its different with you. You are an adventurer from another world and may have some unknown methods to dodge Duke Seifers surveince. Therefore, I need your help to deliver this letter to a man named Colin Phil who lives at 213 Green Valley Street. As she spoke, she picked up a beautifully packaged letter from the table next to her. Ding! Your main line has been updated! [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (14/100)]. Mission requirements: Deliver the princesss letter to Colin Phil at 213 Green Valley Street. Mission reward: [Primary Energy Elixir (Gold)] X1, Experience Points X500. A golden potion! Su Yus eyes lit up. [Primary Energy Elixir] is a universal recovery potion made from spiritual energy. Mages can use it to restore mana, while warriors can use it to restore rage, and likewise, other professions can use it as well. Most significantly though, this potion can be taken back to reality! Anything that can be taken back to reality has to be good. Okay, Your Highness, I will definitelyplete the mission. Su Yu promised earnestly. Alright, then Ill wait for your message here. The princess nodded.. Chapter 102 - 102: 102, Vampire Siman_l Chapter 102: Vampire Siman_l Trantor: 549690339 After receiving the task, Su Yu left the princesss residence. ording to the task requirements, he mounted Dima, heading towards the target location Green Valley Street. The rewards for this part of the task were pretty good. However, based on Su Yus experience, the better the rewards, the more difficult the task would be. So, its likely that something unexpected may happen on the way to Green Valley Street, I must be prepared, he thought. Su Yu heightened his alert, releasing [Lightning Shield]. The silver-white electric arc flickered with bright light, illuminating the neighborhood under the night sky. It felt like driving a car with headlights on a deep night road, making Su Yu feel a little safer. However, after Dima had advanced four or five hundred meters, the unexpected, as expected, happened. From the shadows at the street corner ahead, a strong killing intent suddenly emerged. It was the unique bloodthirsty murderous intent of the vampire n! Affected by the killing intent, Dima let out a terrified neigh, her body uncontrobly spinning in ce. Su Yu hurriedly jumped off Dima, gently stroking her neck, calming her emotions. Feeling the warmth of her masters palm, Dima gradually became less frightened. She bumped her big head against Su Yus chest, regaining calmness. Su Yu summoned Dima back to the horse token, activated [Insight] spell, and looked towards the ce where the killing intent came from. This killing intent put him under great pressure. It seemed that his adversary was likely a high-ranking entity. Using the moonlight and the light emitted by the [Lightning Shield], Su Yu sessfully identified the vampire lurking in the dark. Character: [Vampire Sman] Level: 65 level [Fourth-order] ss: Blood Mage Preference: Torturing souls, sucking the fresh blood from the necks of young males. After looking at Smans attributes, Su Yu quickly concluded, Hmm, hes definitely an oddball. From his physique, Sman appeared to be a male vampire. Vampires generally maintain a close rtionship with their targets before feeding, which makes the feeding process tastier. The typical victims for male vampires are young women. But Sman strangely prefers to suck blood from men! wow- Su Yu curled his lips in disgust. However, since the one standing before him was a fourth-order assassin, he certainly couldnt outrun him. Su Yu stood upright, looking at him with a smile, May I ask what brings you to Vampire Sman gradually approached Su Yu. What he loved most while hunting was the sight of desperate and helpless prey, he even found this expression tastier than fresh blood. But seeing Su Yu so calm, he paused in his steps. Why wasnt this first-order mage afraid? Ignorance breeds fearlessness? Or does he have something to rely on? A question mark hung over Smans head. However, he didnt ponder it for long and answered with a sinister smile, I came here to capture you under orders, face your impending doom! With a wave of his sleeve, a ball of ck fog was thrown into the night sky, enveloping a [Fear Fog] This was Smans signature spell. He enjoyed pulling his targets into fear, then slowly torturing them. Su Yu, of course, was also affected by the [Fear Fog]. Yet, his gaze remained firm, I am Digapusa of the Land of Light, the best way to eliminate fear is to face it, I am the cataclysm! Su Yu spoke at an extremely high speed, as if chanting a magic spell. But at the very moment he finished chanting. His figure gradually blurred, suddenly disappearing on the spot. Invisibility Tech? Vampire Sman undoubtedly knew this signature spell of mages. He closed his eyes, initiated a spell, and a vast blood-colored domain opened up around him, covering a radius of 30 meters. But to his shock, he didnt find any traces of Su Yu in the domain. How is it possible! Sman was taken aback, How could a little first-order mage possibly escape? Sman hurriedly searched for Su Yus trace within a kilometer radius. But he still couldnt find anything. Sman returned without gaining anything, his forehead furrowed deeply. He was in big trouble now! Capturing Su Yu was supposed to be a small task, he even assured Duke Seiver he wouldplete the task. Now that Su Yu had somehow escaped, how was he going to exin this to Duke Seiver? Could it have something to do with that magic spell just now? Sman touched his chin, lost in thought, Land of LightDigapusa? I havent heard of such a magic spell, will bring it backter and research it with my colleagues. Smans figure also gradually blurred, disappearing into the night sky. Meanwhile In the real world, Su Yu removed his helmet and sat up from the bed. It was not some sophisticated spell that helped him evade [Vampire Sman]s pursuit, but he logged off. Some yers figured out before, when facing high-ranking NPCs, Logoff Evasion always works. Especially in the early stage of the game when the NPCs still dont know the yers well, it works every single time! He tried it today and sessfully logged off. Looking at the remaining game time, there were 11 minutes left. And the current time was 21:46. Su Yu nodded, Ill log back on in two hours! Two hours equal a day in the game. That vampire should not be so silly as to stand in that ce and wait for me for a day. He nned to rest in these two hours. Su Yu casually ordered some midnight snack on his phone. While waiting for the snack, he did several dozens of push-ups and squats in the room, exercising his body a bit. Although his body had be very strong due to the massive influx of spiritual energy, basic training was still necessary. It helped him fully control his power. After finishing histe-night snack, Su Yu sat in front of theputer, browsing news online. Domestic news seems calm. Peoples lives have not changed much. However, Su Yu noticed that the advertisements for Evolution have increased. On various tforms, a number of articles regarding Evolution appeared continuously: Shocking! CCTV host Wang Bing is obsessed with Evolution and cant extricate himself! Astonishing! A Jiangnan University student, Squirrel (alias), voluntarily dropped out to immerse in Evolution, getting his parents support! Headlines! Purchasing Evolution game helmet in installments, interest-free for a limited time! Heavy! Evolution receives prioritized support from the game-rted departments Entertainment: Famous mechanic Xiao Han from Star Group switches to Evolution The game advertisements were everywhere, even getting close to the magnitude of Brain tinums advertisements. It seems that the relevant departments are also making covert efforts! Su Yu nodded, Hope that the production capacity of game helmets speeds up, bringing more talented yers into the game sooner. That would provide more hope for humanity. After surfing the inte for a while, Su Yu opened his phone, texted Xue Wenli, asking her for any information rted to ghosts. Xue Wenli quickly replied, A male teacher at Yulin Middle School near you died mysteriously, you can check it out.. Chapter 103 - 103: 103, Disguise to approach the target, Morning Star kills Siman 1 Chapter 103: Disguise to approach the target, Morning Star kills Siman 1 Trantor: 549690339 An hour and a halfter, Su Yu returned home. He hadnt detected any ghostly presence at Yulin Middle School, and the male teacher Xue Wenli mentioned must have died in an ident. Nevertheless, following Xue Wenlis hints, he made a few more stops afterwards. In an old residential building, and in an elevator of another high-end office building, Su Yu had eliminated some basic-level ck ghosts, gaining 350 experience points. These experience points were insignificant for him, but it was always good to save lives. After taking a shower at home, Su Yu once again logged into the game. Because he was offline for a whole two hours, it was still night in the game. As soon as he logged in, Su Yu quickly looked around. The vampire wasnt nearby. This eased his tension slightly. However, Su Yu didnt dare to venture towards Green Valley Street anymore. If he wasnt mistaken, Siman, the vampire, might very well be hiding somewhere near Green Valley Streets No. 213 , waiting patiently for his prey. If he rushed in now, he would undeniably die. I must make a change If I remember correctly, there is a good disguise artist in Maple City Su Yus thoughts started to drift away. After some thoughts, Su Yu rode on Dima and, guided by the city guard, headed towards the Disguise Artists residence. Half an hourter, dawn was just breaking. The vampire Siman was lurking in the shadow opposite No. 213, Green Valley Street for quite some time now. ording to reliable information, the princess was going to send a message to Colin Phil, who was living here. And his mission was to intercept this message. Siman had just missed catching Su Yu on the street, failing at thest moment. This time you wont escape. I will imprison your soul and torture you slowly! Siman let out a maniacalugh. At this moment, a knight d in silver armor, rode past him on a horse. The knight was holding a long sword and was loudly shouting, very unrestrained. His big brown horse was also snorting in unison. Thisbination of horse and rider was exceptionally noisy on the quiet early morning street. Siman barely nced at it and looked away. It was just a noisy knight; no one would pay him any attention. The one he cared about was that first order mage Wait, wait! Simans pupils shrank suddenly! Before his eyes, the knight suddenly threw his sword onto the ground. The knight then jumped off the horse, and in a sh, stood on the steps of No. 213. Its a trap! Siman suddenly realized, and quickly transformed into a streak of bloody light rushing towards the knight. But the knight had already broken down the door and rushed into the house. Of course, that knight was Su Yu. Not only had Su Yu bought aplete set of armor and a big brown horse, but he had also hired the top disguise artist in the city to change his appearance, physique, aura, and even his body odor. Thanks to these changes, Su Yu was confident he could deceive Siman. As expected, Siman didnt notice him, and Su Yu easily sneaked into the house. In the hallway of the house, a man was sitting anxiously waiting for something. Su Yu used [Insight] and immediately received the basic information about this man. Character: [Colin Phil] Level: 58 [Third Order] upation: Summoner Hobby: Collecting portraits of [Princess Alyssa]. It was the man the princess was looking for. Su Yu nodded slightly and hurriedly took out the princesss letter from his bag and handed it to him. Colin Phil, however, did not take the letter. Seeing the characteristic goldfinch pattern on the envelope, he knew who Su Yu was. Colin Phil not only handed over his own letter into Sus hands, but he also refused to ept it. Go now! My identity has been exposed, you must leave here and deliver my letter to the princess! At the same time, the vampire Siman had already reached the door! With a wave of Colin Phils staff, a giant brown bear suddenly appeared, blocking the door tightly. You go! Ill hold him back, Colin Phil said again. Alright. Without hesitation, Su quickly put on his speed-boosting leather armor and ran out through the back door of the house. In the street behind the house, Su summoned Dima and raced towards the princesss residence. However, Dima seemed a bit unhappy, smelling the scent of other horses on Su, which made her very upset. But Dima did not throw a tantrum; sensing Sus anxiety, she put forth her best effort, galloping towards the princesss residence. They raced all the way. As Su urged Dima to move forward, he kept looking back to check on the situation behind him. Thank goodness. Throughout the journey, the vampire didnt catch up, which eased Sus mind quite a bit. However, when he was about 300 meters away from the princesss residence, he discovered a trace of blood behind him. The vampire was catching up! Su hastily leaped from Dimas back and recalled her to the horse insignia in mid-air. After rolling onto the ground, Su switched to the Vige Chiefs Staff and used three consecutive sh Skills, teleporting himself 45 meters away. After the shing ended, he hurriedly continued running forward at his fastest speed. Although he wasnt sure if he could escape from the vampire, he had to try his best. The vampire Siman pursued him swiftly. He transformed into a blood-red light, chasing after Su at top speed. Moreover, he was confident that he would catch Su before he reached the princesss residence! The distance between the two was rapidly closing. 340 meters. 220 meters. 100 meters. In just two short seconds, the distance between Siman and Su had shortened to 100 meters. A look of satisfaction spread across Simans face. The next second, he could But just then, a huge dragon stretching hundreds of meters in wingspan suddenly appeared in the sky above the princesss dwelling! It was a brilliantly star-lit dragon, suspended magnificently between heaven and earth! This starlight dragon was clearly aiming for Siman. As soon as it appeared, it breathed a mouthful of starlight at Siman. Startled, Siman quickly moved sideways, trying to dodge. But this breath followed him like it had tracking abilities. Bang! The starlight breath hit Siman squarely, reducing him to nothingness in the blink of an eye, under the cleansing wash of starlight. What Looking back at Simans downfall, Su was somewhat incredulous. A Tier-4 power just gone like that? Could this starlight dragon be Su looked up at the starlight dragon, and saw that it was shrinking in mid-air, eventually transforming into a kitten. It was Morning Star the Cat! Nemesis, are you alright? Morning Star the Cat jumped on his shoulder and asked, her head tilted to the side. I Im okay, but just a little drained, Su replied. He had been running at full speed just now and now that he had stopped, he felt thoroughly exhausted. You cant afford to be tired, Ill take you inside. Morning Star jumped down from Sus shoulder and transformed into a deer, her fur shimmering with starlight. Great! Without any hesitation, Su hopped onto Morning Stars back. Morning Star: Chapter 104 - 104: 104. Extra rewards for Cat Morning Star 1 Chapter 104: 104. Extra rewards for Cat Morning Star 1 Trantor: 549690339 What are you doing?!! Morning Star quickly morphed back into a cat, levitated to mid-air, and snarled angrily at Su Yu. Ah? Didnt you say you were going to take me with you? Su Yu looked bewildered. Morning Star, who could shapeshift into a giant dragon or a moose, was clearly a druid. When druids shapeshift into deer, they gain the ride function, allowing them to travel with their teammates. Seeing Morning Star transform into a deer, Su Yu subconsciously thought she was going to give him a ride. But that was not what Morning Star intended. Seething with anger, Morning Star was inclined to incinerate this human with her dragon breath. I meant you should walk behind me into the mansion, who allowed you to ride on my back? As an elegant and noble Star Realm cat, even Princess Alija didnt have the privilege to ride on her. How dare this human offend her?! It was intolerable! I apologize! Su Yu quickly apologized, It wasnt intentional, just a subconscious moveSo how about this, next time I go to Orleans City, Ill bring you some dried fish aspensation, alright? Dried fish? I want fresh sea fish! No problem. At least 100 pounds! Ill bring back 500 pounds for you! Hmph! Smart of you. Thanks to the offer of sea fish, Morning Stars anger subsided significantly. Still, she warned, There better not be a next time. If you daree closer to me again, Ill burn you to ashes just like that vampire earlier. Understand? Rest assured, there wont be a next time. Su Yu hurriedly assured. Seeing Su Yus sincere apology, Cat Morning Star snorted and flew back towards the mansion. Su Yu sighed in relief and quickly followed her. As she flew mid-air, Morning Star couldnt help but recall the feeling of Su Yu riding on her back earlier. The feeling of Su Yus strong legs pressing against her waist was A strange, indescribable feeling welled up within her. Ding! [Star Realms Cat Morning Star] favorability towards you has increased by +5, reaching indifferent. su Yu: Wasnt Morning Star just scolding him? Why did her favorability suddenly increase? Could it be because of the 500 pounds of sea fish? Su Yu pondered secretly. In the hall of the Princess residence. Princess Alija sat in her seat, listening to Su Yus extraordinary journey along the way, and reading the letter that Colin Phil had asked Su Yu to bring back. As for Cat Morning Star, she had disappeared as soon as they returned. After listening to Su Yus story, the princess sighed, Colin Phil might have sacrificed himself, my undercover agent is gone. Im sorry for your loss, your Highness. Hmm. The princess gazed out of the window, lost in thoughts. After a long while, she turned to Su Yu, Thank you for delivering the message. The information Colin Phil sent back is very helpful to me. Then she turned to someone at her side, Keerderon, bring the reward. Yes, Your Highness. Keerderon walked towards them with a silver tray and respectfully ced it in front of Su Yu. On the tray was a golden-orange elixir and a scroll emitting strong spatial fluctuation. The princess gently said, This elixir is your reward. Apart from this, you almost got killed by the vampire earlier. Morning Star suggested that I give you this scroll. It might save your life when you encounter a powerful enemy. Ding! Congrattions onpleting [Glory of Goldfinch Empire (14/100)]. Task Reward: [Energy Elixir (Gold)]X1, Experience PointsX500. Ding! Upon the rmendation of [Star Realms Cat Morning Star], you received an additional reward: [Random Teleportation Scroll (Normal)] Xl. [Random Teleportation Scroll (Normal)] Remaining Uses: 1 Activate: by inputting magical power. Effect: Transports the user to a random location within a radius of 5km on the ground or water surface, 0.5 seconds after activation. Note: If you see someone stuck in a wall, remember, its not a game bug, just an unlucky person who used this random teleportation scroll. Su Yu was slightly surprised. He didnt expect Morning Star to give him an extra reward. The promised 500 pounds of sea fish seemed to pay off! Plus, the [Random Teleportation Scroll] is quite practical. With this scroll in hand, he would have much more backbone when on missions, no longer having to fear task failure due to death. And another thing, this scroll has rarity, so [Point Star Hand] can upgrade it. Unlike [Tinas Blood], [Sorrow of Fungus] and other items that dont have a rarity level, [Point Star Hand] cant be used on them. Su Yu decided to try enhancing it. Ding, do you want to spend 10,000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Random Teleportation Scroll (Normal))? Confirm. Ding, quality of [Random Teleportation Scroll (Normal)] is upgraded to [Random Teleportation Scroll (Excellent)], teletransportation range increased by 5km. Ding, do you want to spend 100,000 spiritual energy coins Su Yu decided not to continue upgrading. The only advancement from upgrading the [Random Teleportation Scroll] seems to be longer teleportation distance, spending another 100,000 for an upgrade wasnt worth it. Having used [Point Star Hand], Su Yu suddenly realized that he was now level 21, which meant he could use [Point Star Hand] to upgrade all his skills to legendary quality! But it might be better to wait until he has left the princess residence to upgrade, the priority now was toplete the task. Su Yu slightly bowed to the princess, Thank you for your reward, Your Highness. Youve earned it, the princess stood up and smiled, But there is something else I need your help with. Please tell me. The princess became serious, Heres the thing, in Colin Phils reply, he mentioned that after gathering intelligence over the past few days, he found out that Duke Sev is conspiring with the Wind Chime Empire in the north but he doesnt have any evidence. Colin Phil suspects that the mansion of Duke Sev located in Fish Tail Lane in the south of the city might hold some evidence of this. Nemesis, would you be willing to infiltrate that mansion and help me obtain the evidence? Ding! Your main task has been updated! [Glory of Goldfinch Empire (15/100)]. Task Requirement: Infiltrate Duke Sevs mansion located in Fish Tail Lane to the south of the city, and find physical evidence of Duke Sevs conspiracy with Wind Chime Empire. Task Reward: Experience PointsX1000. Hm? Thats not right! Seeing the task reward, Su Yu paused. ording to the pattern, the reward is usually good at every 5th or 10th task. Why is the 15th task of the princess storyline only rewarding him with 1000 experience points? However, Su Yu didnt think too much about it. It was best to ept the task first and worry about the restter. Your Highness, I would be honored to serve. I will set off for the Dukes mansion immediately, Su Yu said solemnly. Go forth, Nemesis. I will await your report here.. Chapter 105 - 105: 105. All skills are upgraded to legend quality_l Chapter 105: 105. All skills are upgraded to legend quality_l Trantor: 549690339 Standing in front of the princesss residence, Su Yu opened the skill panel and used [Point Star Hand] to enhance his skill. Ding, would you like to spend 100,000 spiritual energy coins to enhance [Magic Bullet (Epic)]? 100,000 spiritual energy coins?! Su Yu was slightly taken aback. He hadnt expected such a hefty cost to enhance a zero- grade skill. If he didnt have a headstart with his 10 billion, he wondered when he would ever manage to scrape together such a sum. Enhance! Ding! [Magic Bullet (Epic)] has been upgraded to [Magic Bullet (Legendary)]. A sparkling golden light converged on the [Magic Bullet] skill icon, covering it entirely. Suddenly, with a bang. The golden light exploded, and the border color of the [Magic Bullet] icon changed from purple to orange. [Magic Bullet (Legendary)]: Use the magic bullet to attack the target. Looking at the [Magic Bullet] with almost nonexistent attributes, Su Yu was stunned. For a second, he even thought he had seen it wrong. Thisisnt the simplicity a bit too much! Where are the detailed attributes? He thought that after the skill had been upgraded to the legendary grade, the attribute page would contain at least five or six lines of details. But now Could the attributes have been hidden? Su Yu fell into deep thought. After a while, he came back to his senses, and thought that he would find out by trying it out anyway. With this in mind, he summoned Dima and hurried to the training ground on the left side of the east city gate. The training grounds [Training Dummies] could be used to test skills. Half an hourter, in the training arena. Su Yuunched a flurry of Magic Bullets at the [Training Dummy]. Then he finally understood what upgrading [Magic Bullet] was all about: In simple terms, the release of the magic bullet had be more real. In the past, Su Yu had to adhere strictly to the cooldown of [Magic Bullet], releasing a magic bullet every 0.5 seconds, and each magic bullet would cause the same damage, just like a product rolling off an assembly line. But with the skill reaching legendary quality, the overall attributes of [Magic Bullet] saw a huge change! [Magic Bullet] no longer had casting restrictions; he could throw out more than a dozen magic bullets in just one second! Also, these magic bullets did not cause the same damage; the damage depended on the amount of mana he consumed. If he consumed 5 mana points, the magic bullet would cause 100% spell intensity damage; If he consumed 25 mana points, it would cause 500% spell intensity damage. He could even condense 300 mana points into a football- sized magic bullet to throw at opponents, causing a whopping 6000% damage! Of course, the more mana consumed, the longer the casting time. Like now. After nearly 10 seconds of casting, Su Yu finally conjured a massive magic bullet and threw it at the [Training Dummy]. The spell intensity on Su Yus panel was 178 points, and the [Training Dummy] was a zero-defense target. Bang! When the magic bullet hit the dummy, a massive explosion urred! -10680! The [Training Dummy] was blown away directly. The big explosion also caused a sizable magic aftermath. Su Yu quickly activated his [Lightning Shield] to block the damage from the explosion aftermath. However, Su Yu was more than thrilled. -10680! Damage in the tens of thousands; this was too powerful! He didnt expect that after upgrading to legendary quality, the Magic Bullet would have turned into this. At best, he could scatter a series of magic bullets to attack multiple targets, and at worst, he could condense a super-sized Energy Bomb! to crush his opponents. Moreover, Su Yu realized that they did not lose their guidable properties as they flew. It was so much more flexible than before! If [Magic Bullet] bes like this after upgrading, then what about other skills? What will they turn into? Curious, Su Yu upgraded all his skills to legendary quality. Zero- grade spells cost 100,000 spiritual energy coins to upgrade to legendary, and first-grade spells cost as high as 600,000 for upgrades! But money was no problem for Su Yu, and he spent 3-9 million spiritual energy coins to upgrade all his skills. After the upgrade, the chain of orange icons in the skill column looked especially pleasing to the eye! Su Yu was in a great mood and began testing each skill after the upgrade. An hourter, the testing was almost done. ording to the test results, Su Yu concluded the following: For skills without cooldowns, such as [Lightning Bolt], [Fireball], [Ice Arrow], the situation after the upgrade was basically consistent with [Magic Bullet]. For defensive shield skills. He could create a very thick shield by casting for a long time and consuming arge amount of mana; He could also instantly create a shield like before to resist small amounts of damage. For skills with cooldown time, such as 8-second [Electric Chain], 12-second [sh Skill], these skills still have a cooldown time. However, these skills also became stronger and more flexible. Take [sh Skill] as an example. Previously, his [sh Skill] could only teleport him to a designated location 15 meters away. Now he could teleport to any designated location between 1 and 60 meters away. The cooldown time of [sh Skill] changed ording to the teleporting distance. If Su Yu just teleported to a point one meter away, the skill would cool down in 0.8 seconds; If he wanted to teleport to a point beyond 60 meters, he would not only need 8 seconds of casting but also face a cooldown time of up to 40 seconds. Of course, these are extreme situations. Normally, the cooldown stillsts 12 seconds for 15 meters teleportation, and the double charge feature remains. But overall, the flexibility of the skills has greatly increased, which has freed Su Yu to a certain extent from the constraints of the skills. Another skill worth mentioning is the [Invisibility Skill]. Previously, the cooldown time for [Invisibility Skill] was as long as 3 minutes with a duration of 30 seconds. But after its upgrade to legendary quality, [Invisibility Skill] no longer has a cooldown time. Instead, it consumes an increasing amount of mana as the [Invisibility] state continues, and only starts to gradually decrease after [Invisibility] is deactivated. Moreover, he had the [Tear of the Goddess], his mana was several times higher than that of an ordinary mage! Through Su Yus experiment, he could sustain a [Invisibility] state for a full 32 minutes at full mana before running out! 32 minutes! This revtion brought Su Yu immense joy! Before, 30 seconds was too short,cking the endurance of a man. Now itsted 32 minutes. In 32 minutes, he could do a lot of things, even peep at Tina taking a bathahem. In short, this series of upgrades brought significant improvement to Su Yu! For offensive skills, he could lower the mana consumption to attack more targets, or save up for a big attack on a single target; For defensive skills, he could use a long casting time to create an invincible shield or instantly create a shield to resist small amounts of damage; For universal skills, both [sh Skill] and [Invisibility Skill] saw tremendous improvements! So after leaving the training ground, Su Yu felt revitalized! With regard to the uing tasks, he had much more confidence.. Chapter 106 - 106: 106, Infiltrate Duke’s Manor_l Chapter 106: Infiltrate Dukes Manor_l Trantor: 549690339 After upgrading his skills, Su Yu continued with his main mission. Having summoned Dima, they headed south towards Fish Tail Lane. The DukeSaifs estate was situated at the end of Fish Tail Lane in the south of the city. As per Maple Citys map, the estate was quiterge, upying almost half of the southern city. So, it was quite easy for Su Yu to find the mansion. However, taking precautions, he once again sought the help of a [Disguise Master] to disguise himself as an ordinary mercenary warrior. Upon arriving at the mansions entrance, Su Yu hid under the side eaves to observe. Two guards d in full iron armor stood at the mansions entrance. Despite the stifling heat, the guards stood motionless, swathed inyers of iron. Su Yu activated his [Invisibility Skill] and slowly approached the gateCbut as he got within ten meters of the gate, the guards moved! They drew their swords, peering suspiciously in Su Yu e s direction. Obviously, they had noticed Su Yu. Left with no other choice, Su Yu turned and left. If the main gate was imprable, Su Yu figured he would scale the walls surrounding the mansion. He hoped to find a gap in the wall to climb over. However, after having traveled a few hundred meters along the wall, Su Yu found that the entire mansion seemed to be shielded by a massive magical barrier. Given his current abilities, there was no way he could prate the barrier without alerting those inside. The n failed again. Nheless, Su Yu refused to be discouraged. After all, this was a main mission. There must be a way to break the deadlock. All he had to do was patiently hunt for it. Finding no breach in Dukes Mansion, Su Yu got a brainwave and began to search for clues in the residences around the mansion. Fish Tail Lane, particrly, was his prime focus for clues. Hey, maam, Id like to ask you Scram! Cant you see Im busy? Here is 30 spiritual energy coins NPC Auntie: !! What do you want to ask, I have plenty of time! l want to ask if anything unusual has been happening around here recently? Unusual incidents? Theres plenty of them! Let me tell you The NPC Auntie started speaking non-stop. Su Yu went around in Fish Tail Lane, extracting information from the residents. Of course, most of the information was useless. All Su Yu needed to do was sift through the waves of useless information for the clues he needed. Atst, during his fourth NPC interactions, ament caught his attention. The NPC was a cheerful elderly man. Speaking of unusual incidents, yesterday I saw the Duke and the Countess Carter together. The Countess Carter has got a great figure! The way she swings her hips when she walks is really attractive! he said with a suggestive smile. su Yu: ??? He sensed something amiss in the elderly mans storyCif the Duke had guests, wouldnt he go by carriage? How did the elderly man see them walking? So Su Yu quickly asked, Where did you see them? The elderly manughed, Of course, I saw them in front of Pim Hunters house! Pim Hunter is a beautician. Every now and then, the Duke takes a few beautifuldies to visit him, most of whom are the wives of other noblemenlts been an open secret in Fish Tail Lane for a while. Oh, I see. Su Yu nodded subtly. He suddenly realized this was the information he sought. Why would Duke Saif regrly visit this beautician? To please the wives of the nobles? Unlikely, he is a Duke after all. Anyway, I must go see him first. Maybe I can find something useful there, Su Yu thought to himself. Five minutester, Su Yu appeared beneath the eaves of Pim Hunters house. Pim Hunters house was a three-story pure white mansion, exquisitely carved with intricate sculptures on the exterior wall, and included a huge yard. It screamed affluence! Two guards in leather armor stood before the mansions massive door. However, these two guards were a far cry from the ones stationed at the Dukes mansion. They wereckadaisical and were only first-rank guards. Su Yu used his [Invisibility Skill] and easily slipped through the massive door. Having sessfully breached the property, he began conducting a detailed search of Pim Hunters house. Perseverance paid off. Atst! In the woodshed in the backyard of Pim Hunters house, Su Yu found exactly what he was looking forCa secret tunnel. The woodshed was devoid of firewood. Lifting a nk from the shed floor, Su Yu discovered the secret passage. The tunnel led west, and about 500 meters to the west was the Dukes mansion. If his guess was correct, this tunnel must lead directly to the Dukes mansion! Just as I thought! said Su Yu with a slight smirk. He figured out the events hed heard: The Duke and the wives of other nobles were having affairs, and they had to avoid making it public. They couldnt just directly bring other mens wives into his mansion. So they came to the beauticians house and entered the mansion through the secret tunnel, which was good for preserving both parties reputations. Having found the secret tunnel, he was going to proceed for sure. But as Su Yu was about to move, a blue and white figure suddenly flew into the woodshed from outside. Su Yu jumped. However, he soon rxed after seeing who it was. Because it was none other, than the Cat Morning Star. Why are you here? Su Yu asked quietly. Iah no, Alyssa was worried about you and asked me to help out, so I followed your scent and found you. Morning Star leapt onto Su Yus shoulder. She noticed the opened floor of the woodshed and the dark tunnel beneath and curiously asked, What is this? This is a secret passageway to Dukes mansion Su Yu briefly exined what had just happened. Oh, I see. Nodded Morning Star, Then lets go in. With me as your escort,pleting this mission should be a breeze! Alright then. Su Yu did not oppose. After closing the door of the woodshed, he jumped into the secret tunnel. The first few meters of the tunnel were quite narrow. But as they proceeded, suddenly their surroundings opened up. He and Morning Star had entered arge underground chamber. Glowstone embedded in the chamber wall illuminated the chamber as bright as day. Surveying the ce, Su Yu estimated the chamber to be about 1600 square meters and was a perfect square in shape. The square was divided into sixty-four cells in an 88 arrangement, and each cell was 5 meters wide. The cells were painted in alternating ck and white. Many cells contained massive statues; some resembled a tower, and others resembled a horses head. This entire underground chamber had beenid out like a giant chessboard! Chapter 107: 107, come on, get on! _1 Chapter 107:e on, get on! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon seeing this chessboard, Su Yu immediately understood that it must be the defense mechanism of the secret passage. The little Cat Morning Star on his shoulder also nodded: Yeah, this is a trap set up in the passage. The main switch should be inside the manor. If the Duke enters the passage from outside, he will notify his subordinates to deactivate the mechanism, and he can pass through unimpeded. But we cant shut down the main switch, so we probably have to force our way through. Force our way through? Su Yu looked worried, But I dont know how to y chess! The chessboard was already here. Obviously, the passage could only be navigated by ying a game of chess. If it was Chinese chess, Su Yu would be able to make a move or two. But international chess He really didnt know how to y! Its okay, Ill guide you. Cat Morning Star jumped off Su Yus shoulder. Uponnding, she transformed into a blue and white deer with fur gleaming like stardust, Come, climb on! Didnt she just refuse to let him ride? Why did she suddenly change her mind? Didnt you say Forget it, no point asking. Since Cat Morning Star doesnt mind, why should he question it? Su Yu swung himself up and sat on deer Morning Stars back. But since there was no saddle or the like on Morning Star, Su Yu could only tightly grip her waist with his legs. At the same time, Su Yu bent down, hugging Morning Stars neck, wrapping his whole body around her. Only in such a position could he ensure he wouldnt fall off the deers back. Morning Star was unease, pacing in ce. Because they were so close, Su Yu could feel Morning Stars heart beating faster and faster. Ding! The affection level of [Star Realms Cat Morning Star] towards you +2. Su Yu: Whats wrong with Morning Star? Riding can increase affection level? What kind of peculiar special attribute is this? But Morning Star didnt remain still for long. Hold on tight! She leaped into the air with Su Yu on her back, jumping right over the gigantic chessboard. Boom! The entire chessboard was activated, sending off a huge rumbling noise. ck and white pieces moved back and forth on the board, scurrying around haphazardly, much like a battlefield of chess. Morning Star also noticed themotion from the chessboard. After jumping over the chessboard, she first gently ced Su Yu on the ground, and then turned around to fly towards the chessboard. The loud noise might attract others over. Ill handle the chessboard here. Youll have to go on alone from now on! Morning Star turned her back to Su Yu, as if she didnt dare to look at him. At this moment, Su Yu was still reminiscing the sensation of riding Morning Star. This was his first time riding a deer in his life, and it felt prettyfortable. It was different from riding Dima. Although Dima was a young mare, she was very stable, giving a solid feeling when ridden. Morning Star was young, lively, and full of vigor. Riding her provided a unique experience However, hearing Morning Stars words, Su Yu quickly snapped back to reality. Now wasnt the time to ponder. Completing the task at hand was more important. Then Im going! Su Yu waved goodbye to Morning Star and quickly moved towards the end of the secret passage. Once he left the underground cavern, the secret passage returned to its narrow state. Su Yu looked straight ahead. In front of him was a tunnel hundreds of meters long, only wide enough for one person to pass through. Hidden weapons of all sorts hung on the walls of the tunnel. If he walked straight through, he would definitely be a sieve from the hidden weapons. But Su Yu had no choice, there was only one path ahead of him. Thankfully, his [sh Skill] had been enhanced, and now was just the time to put it to use! Su Yu began to umte mana, starting to cast his farthest teleportation [sh Skill]. After being elevated to legendary quality, [sh Skill] could teleport distances less than 15 meters instantaneously, without any casting time. Teleporting between 15 to 30 meters, the casting time incrementally increased from o to 1 second. For teleporting between 30 and 60 meters, the casting time exponentially increased, rising from 1 second to a maximum of 8 seconds. To traverse the passage, Su Yu had to utilize the full extent of the skill. After 8 seconds of charging Whoosh! Su Yu teleported forward 60 meters, positioning himself at thetter half of the passageway. nk! A metal sp sound resounded from beneath, his foot was bound by the [Binding Trap]. Simultaneously, crossbow bolts, poison darts, and poison needles flew towards him from both walls, aiming to pierce him like a hedgehog. Seemingly in a death trap, Su Yu was not flustered in the least. He used the [Advanced Schr Badge] to free himself from the binding, and effortlessly sh-teleported one meter forward. The poisoned darts and needles missed their target. After he teleported, he activated another set of traps on the wall, and a shower of hidden weapons once again flew towards him. But the cooldown of [sh Skill] in this segment was very short, only 0.8 seconds. Once his skill finished cooling down, Su Yu released [sh Skill] again and teleported one meter back to his original position. Mystic Technique: Repeated Sidesteps. By utilizing his enhanced [sh Skill], Su Yu easily avoided both waves of traps and stood on the passageways floor undisturbed. Once he found his footing, dealing with the rest was much easier. Su Yu once again began to umte mana. Three secondster, he used [sh Skill] to traverse a distance of 41 meters, reaching a safe spot at the end of the passage. He easily navigated the hundred-meter-long trapped passageway! Phew! Its a good thing I upgraded [sh Skill]. Otherwise, navigating this passage wouldnt have been so easy, Su Yu thought gleefully. At the end of the passage, the path ahead was still dark and narrow. Su Yu wasnt informed of potential dangers ahead. To be cautious, he decided to rest for half a minute and wait for [sh Skill] to finish cooling down. After a half-minute rest allowed his mana to fully recover, Su Yu raised his [Lightning Shield] and proceeded to move forward. The terrain started to ascend gradually, and at the end of the corridor, Su Yu saw a massive jade-like, green stone statue blocking the only exit. [Jade Golem IV21 (Excellent)] Health Points: 11340 Attack: 178 Skills: [Jade Blossom], [Jade Lotus Seal], [Jade Lightning] Introduction: The statue is the perfect gift for girls. The [Jade Golem]s HP was approximately seven times that of an average creature of the same level, making it an excellent level boss. But to Su Yu, its over ten thousand points of health didnt seem intimidating at all. He suddenly thought of a method and decided to give it a try. Outside the [Jade Golem]s field of vision, Su Yu spent 750 mana points and 15 seconds to create a top-tier thickness [Earth Shield]. He then spent ten thousand spiritual energy coins to wash out the epic level effect, [Overwhelming Pressure]. ( [Overwhelming Pressure]: converts all shield values into damage to attack the target and stuns the target for 3 seconds.) Su Yu slowly walked into the [Jade Golem]s attack range. The [Jade Golem] detected Su Yu. The gigantic jade mark on its forehead lit up rapidly. Crack! A [Jade Lightning] burst out from its head, ruthlessly crashing into Su Yus shield. Layers of ripples appeared on the [Earth Shield], but it was still a far cry from breaking. Su Yu smiled lightly. Overwhelming Pressure! The [Earth Shield] flew out from him, coalescing into a tiny, yellowish-brown hill above the [Jade Golem]s head, then it came crashing down! Boom! -13266! The hill dropped heavily, directly smashing the [Jade Golem] into pieces, its health reached zero. An excellent rank boss of the same level was instantaneously killed by Su Yu in one strike! Chapter 108: 108. [A Love-Filled Letter) 1 Chapter 108: 108. [A Love-Filled Letter) 1 Trantor: 549690339 This cant exactly be called [Overwhelming Pressure] anymore, Id rather call ita 25x Earth God Shield!! Looking at the giant number -13266 and the Jade Demon Statue shattered on the ground, Su Yu cracked a satisfied smile. After [Earths Shield] was advanced to legendary quality, like other spells, it gained the ability to charge. [Magic Bullet] can be charged up to 20 times, with the damage increasing from 300% spell power to 6000% spell power. [Earths Shield] is a shield type skill and can charge a bit more, up to 25 times. The original attributes of [Earths Shield] were: [Earths Shield (Epic)]: Uses earth elements to condense a shield around you, absorbs 400% spell strength worth of damage. Physical damage taken is reduced by 20%. Instant,sts for 60 seconds, cooldown time is 60 seconds, and uses 30 mana points. Su Yus spell strength is 178. When charged 25 times, the shield value of [Earths Shield] reached a whopping 17800 points! Under the characteristics of [Overwhelming Pressure], all the shield value was converted into damage at once, swiftly killing the same level boss in one hit! Of course, there were many drawbacks behind this powerful attack. For example, the casting time was long, and the consumption was great. To unleash a 25 times charged [Earth Shield], at least 15 seconds of casting time and 750 mana points are needed. If it were in an arena match, the opponent wouldnt foolishly wait for Su Yu to cast a spell for 15 seconds. This move definitely wouldnt be possible to use. Plus, the consumption of 750 mana points was too high. After using this move, it would affect his continuousbat abilityter. So this could only be used as a secret weapon, not as a regr attack method. But in any case, Su Yu was very satisfied with this attack. What could be more fulfilling than being able to one-shot a boss of his level? After the [Jade Golem] fell, Su Yu happily walked up, brushed aside the jade shards on the ground, and picked up the bosss drop. The bosss loot was very generous: te mail gloves [Blue Stone (Rare) Iv21], Bow [Green Wind (Excellent) lv21], Skill Scroll [Thunderfall Skill (Normal)], Skill Scroll [Bone Piercing (Normal)], Material (Jade Core (Excellent)] x1. Among these, [Bone Piercing] is a skill for assassin sses. [Thunderfall Skill] is a first-tier spell for mages lightning series, which Su Yu didnt know yet. So, after getting the scroll, he directly used it and spent 666660 spiritual energy coins to upgrade it to legendary quality. [Thunderfall Skill (Legendary)]: Summons a thunderbolt to fall from the sky, causing great damage to the target. Compared to the zero-tier [Lightning Bolt], the damage of [Thunderfall Skill] is about twice as much, but it has a cooldown of 3 seconds. It can be used as a main damage output spell in the future. After killing the [Jade Golem], the exit of the secret passage was close at hand. Su Yu drank several [Medium Mana Potions] to restore his mana. After his mana was filled, he activated [Invisibility Skill] and walked out from the secret passage exit. Coming out from the secret passage, Su Yu entered Dukes manor. The Dukes manor was vast, epassing dozens of various buildings within. Cautionary of avoiding patrol guards, Su Yu made his way to the most luxurious building in the center of theplex. This should be the Dukes usual residence. The manors guards noticed some activity in the underground chessboard, but they didnt mind it too much. The Lord was known to move chess pieces to please the favoureddies, and the chessboard maintenance often created noises. Therefore, they did not notice Su Yus intrusion. Su Yu progressed smoothly, sessfully entered the main building, and arrived in the Dukes study on the second floor. The study was about 40 square meters, not too spacious, but was extravagantly decorated. Numerous master artworks hung from the walls and a slight scent of violets wafted from the leather luxury chair. Su Yu moved lightly and patiently began searching through the bookshelf and desk drawers. Meanwhile, he also kept an eye on the surrounding walls for any hiddenpartments often favored by the nobles for hiding their belongings. The search went very smoothly. Two minutester, Su Yu located a hiddenpartment in the east wall. Disyed inside thepartment was not the evidence of the Duke colluding with Wind Chime Empire, but a ring made of tinum, inset with a ck gemstone the size of a rice grain. [ck Star] rung Luxury Item Description: High-ss jeweler Vielomi created this ck gemstone ring to please a nobledy, worth 50,000 spiritual energy coins C Goblin merchant Buffet. ying with the ring in his hand, Su Yu nodded subtly. This ring was not a yers equipment, but a high-value luxury item that could be traded to NPCs for arge sum of money. Meanwhile, Su Yu also had a revtion. It seemed that the 15th task reward in the princess questline wasnt just 1000 experience points, exploring the Dukes study could also be considered part of the reward. Su Yu tossed the ring into his backpack and continued searching around the study. Another 5 minutester, Su Yu found a well-packaged letter sandwiched in a book called Smell of Women. [A Letter Full of Affection] Quest Item Description: A correspondence between Duke Anzu Seifer and Prince Gaven IV of Demacia State in the Wind Chime Empire, seems to conceal a big secret. This should be the quest item that the princess wanted, but why is it full of affection? Su Yu didnt understand the prefix of the letter. Two big men, full of affection how! He really wanted to open the letter. But the letter was sealed with a special spell, so he couldnt open it. He could only temporarily toss it into his backpack for now. With the mission item at hand, the 15th task in the princess questline was consideredplete. Next, he just needs to go back the way he came and deliver the letter to Princess Alyssa. But Su Yu didnt want to leave so easily. ording to the [ck Star] and his game experience from his previous life, Duke Seifers study should be a Treasury -like ce. The longer he stays here, the higher the value of the items he will find. Of course, the price he pays for staying here is that he could be discovered and fail the mission at any time. But looking at the [Random Teleport Scroll] in his backpack, Su Yu suddenly gained confidence. If he were to be discovered, he could teleport away immediately, fearless! Entering Duke Seifers study is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to be missed! Having thought this through, Su Yu didnt leave. but continued searching in the study. Meanwhile, at Wolf Howl Castle five kilometers northwest of the manor. Duke Anzu Seifer sat in a secret rooms giant leather chair sorting out files, preparing for tomorrows negotiations. The faint candlelight shone on him, casting a less than robust shadow on the wall. Suddenly, the Duke seemed to sense something. He lifted his head, his sharp gaze sweeping towards the southeast. Duke Seifer set down the documents in his hand and walked out of the secret chamber. Lake? Master.A warrior d in light armor knelt before the Duke. You go to the southern manor. I suddenly sensed the presence of a bug. Your order! The light armor warrior took his orders and left.. Chapter 109: 109. Huge Harvest! 1 Chapter 109: 109. Huge Harvest! 1 Trantor: 549690339 Ah, this is. Beneath the southern window sill was a hiddenpartment, and Su Yu found a blueprint inside it. [Pandamen Terracotta Warriors and Horses (Wonder)] Building blueprint Required territory scale for construction: Medium-sized vige Building material requirements: 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone, 1000 units of gold Building effects: All attributes of all soldiers produced in the territory increase by 20% Notes: I, the Pandamen Emperor, need money! Its actually a blueprint for a wonder! Su Yus eyes lit up. Territory buildings are divided into ordinary buildings, special buildings, and wonders. Regr buildings are productive structures like farnds, homes, logging sites, and quarries; Special buildings are generally auxiliary structures, such as altars, theaters, and amusement parks; Wonders are very famous structures with vast bonuses, like the Pandamen Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Pandamen Great Wall, the Shurima pyramid In the past, only a few yers had territorial rights. Even at the end of the game, out of hundreds of millions of yers, only two to three million yers held territories, and most of these territories were just vige-level, with little time to upgrade. Even fewer yers possessed wonders in their territories. Just like hidden tasks, wonders have the [Unique] attribute. Once a wonder was built in a territory, no other territory could build it. This causes less than ten thousand wonders to exist across the nation, and only a few thousand yers owned them. Unexpectedly, Su Yu had found a wonder blueprint in the dukes study! As I thought, the dukes study indeed has the characteristics of a [Treasure House]! Su Yus spirits were greatly lifted! He quickly continued his grand treasure hunting endeavor. Just at this moment, the door to the study was forcefully thrust open. A warrior dressed in light armor walked in, pointing his long sword at Su Yu. Character: [Lake the Wife yer] Level: 61 [Fourth Order] ss: Warrior Likes: Women, brutally killing women he has been intimate with Notes: Lake has had ten unfortunate marriages, his wives always mysteriously disappear. He was a fourth-order warrior and a pervert judging by his likes. Su Yu quickly opened his backpack and prepared to use a [Random Teleportation Scroll] to escape. But as he was searching for the teleportation scroll, another consumable item C [Sorrow of Fungus] caught his attention. [Sorrow of Fungus (Consumable)] Remaining uses: 5 Usage: Say I inherit your power, father! and stab the target with a sword. Effects: If the target is the holders father, it inflicts 99999 points of true damage; if not, it recovers 30% of the holders maximum health. Seeing this consumable item, a spark went off in Su Yus brain, and a bold idea came to him! Hey, thief! How did you get in here? Lake walked directly toward Su Yu, pointing his sword at his throat. But after seeing Su Yu was only a first-order mage, he didnt take it too seriously. Still, he was curious how a first-order little mage sneaked in here? Su Yu pretended to be incredibly frightened and said with trembling hands, Sir, I was teleported in here by an old mage, and I have not stolen anything! Su Yus objective was to seek treasure, not to steal. As a yer, how could that be called stealing? Old mage? Who? Lakes eyes narrowed and became unusually cold. Su Yu earnestly replied, It was Archmage Andigs of the Silver Pine Spire. Im a test subject he recruited. That old codger was conducting magical experiments and ended up teleporting me here. The Andigs Su Yu was referring to was a member of the Silver Pine Spires Council of Ten, a top-ss sixth-order Sanctuary Archmage. Having been a member of the Silver Pine Spire in his past life, Su Yu was familiar with their organizational structure and decided to use their reputation to his advantage. Archmage Andigs?! Lake, of course, knew who that was. He didnt dare to act carelessly and grabbed Su Yu by the cor, Come, follow me to see the Duke. Once you meet him, you can exin to him! Su Yu struggled, Let me go! In this world, only my father has the right to handle me so roughly! Lake burst intoughter, Ha ha! I am your father! Is this better? Carrying Su Yu by his cor, Lake dragged him towards the study door, intending to bring him to the Duke. But at that moment, a rune sword engulfed in icy frost suddenly appeared in Su Yus hand, and he stabbed at Lake. Inheritor, my king! [Sorrow of Fungus] activated sessfully, stabbing directly into Lakes body as easily as a knife cutting through tofu, it found its way directly into his heart. Even if the judgment was not sessful, Duke would not easily kill him due to the protection of Andigs. He would still have plenty of chances to escape. Ahhh! Lake screamed in agony, who would have expected such an attack? But the frosty power from [Sorrow of Fungus] had quickly spread throughout his body. His heart was pierced, and his power was rapidly draining. After struggling for just a second or two, Lake vomited blood and fell to the ground. Ding! You have sessfully killed the special NPC [Wife yer Lake], gaining 6100 Experience Points and the Single-handed Sword [ughter de Lv61 (Rare)). [ughter de Lv61 (Rare)] Attack Power: 260-281 Strength +72 When causing physical damage, convert 10% of the damage value into self-healing. Item Description: This sword can absorb blood, it would be more appropriate to rename it [Mosquitos Sword], wouldnt it? That was the only item that Lake dropped. However, his deste scream before death had attracted the attention of the estate guards. The guards faces were serious. If a fourth-rank powerhouse like Lake was no match, what kind of enemy had they encountered? But the guards were serving under Dukes sry, so they had to act. A small group was sent to report to other strongholds, while the others began to assemble. After gathering thirty people, they advanced towards the study room. Su Yu didnt bother with the guards actions. After killing Lake, he continued his previous n, searching inside the study. Since Dukes studyroom was of a [Treasury] nature, his next reward would certainly be better than the previous two! It was for the next reward that he took the risk to kill Lake. After assembling, the guards swarmed towards the study room like a swarm of bees. At that moment, Su Yu finally found a secretpartment under Dukes seat and got a very old-looking scroll. [Sixth Rank Temporary Experience Scroll (Common)] Remaining usage: 1 Usage: Inject magical power into the scroll, itsts for 5 minutes. Effect: Gives you the power of a level 75 sixth rank powerhouse for 1 hour; profession is random. Note: Remaining usage time C 48 hours. A sixth-rank experience scroll? Su Yu was surprised. Howe this scroll, which only appearste in the game, has appeared so early? But seeing that the remaining usage time is only 48 hours, Su Yu felt somewhat troubled. If this scroll didnt have a usage time limit, he couldpletely use [Tinas Blood] to gild it and bring it into the real world. Not only would he have an added life-saving card in reality, but with the power of the sixth rank, he could even pull out a small Skuru base from the Spiritual Spring Eye! However 48 hours remaining, considerably diminished the value of this scroll. Sigh! If only there were no usage time limits! Su Yu sighed softly. But now is not the time to think about this. The guards had already entered the study, only remaining a few meters from him. Su Yu hurriedly took out the [Random Teleportation Scroll] and infused his magic into it. Buzz A sh of white light red, and his figure vanished from the spot.. Chapter 110: 110, Pre-paid Reward of the Princess 1 Chapter 110: Pre-paid Reward of the Princess 1 Trantor: 549690339 About ten minutester, Duke Anzu Seifer hurried to the scene. Lakes body had already been dragged out of the study. However, a heavy smell of blood still hung in the study. This made Duke Seifer frown. Standing behind him was a middle-aged butler in a dark ck suit. With a pale face, the butler bowed deeply, My lord, Lake was killed instantly and without any guarding. I suspect the intruders are at least assassins from the sixth-order Sanctuary. Hmm? Sixth-order Sanctuary? Yes. Alright, I got it. Duke Seifer nodded indifferently. He scanned the room. Other than the dried blood trace of Lake on the ground, multiple hiddenpartments on the wall, under the window sills, and beneath the seats had been opened. But the Duke didnt care, as the items in these hiddenpartments werent valuable. The most valuable one was the [Experience Scroll of the Sixth Order], but it was going to expire shortly, and he was not too bothered about it. However. seeing an 0Den book Iving on the table. the Dukes face changed. He strode forward to pick it up. Indeed, it was Knowing Women by Their Fragrance. The letter he had tucked into the book had vanished! The Dukes face looked very ugly. The letter was crucial, and if it fell into the hands of his enemies, the consequences would be dire! He turned to the butler, William, can we find out who the intruder is? Difficult, the butler William said apologetically, We didnt find any traces left by the assassin. But But? Just a few seconds before Lake was murdered, the guards near the study heard someone mention the name Grand Mage Andigs. Could he be connected to this incident? Andigs of Silver Pine Spire? Duke Seifer frowned, Did Silver Pine Spire get involved? That reallyplicates things! Duke Seifer sat in a leather armchair, stroking his chin, contemting their next move. Butler William remained silent. The study room fell into a deep silence. Meanwhile, Su Yu rode a white steed towards the residence of the princess. He was lucky, the [Random Teleport Scroll] transported him out of the Dukes estate and into a local house on Fish Tail Lane, without being trapped inside the wall. However, during his journey back, Su Yu did not unt the horse Dima around town but instead, sought another disguise artist to disguise himself as a wandering poet. Only then, riding another white horse could he returned to the princesss residence with confidence. He was acting cautiously to avoid any trails. Su Yu didnt want to be found and be attacked by the Dukes men at his own doorstep. Riding through the streets, Su Yu kept a watchful eye on his surroundings while examining the [Sixth-order Experience Scroll] hed just obtained. Sigh! If only this scroll was permanent! Su Yu felt a sense of regret. If the scroll was permanent, he could bring it back to reality as a gold-te, a perfect life-saving ace! Unfortunately, the scroll was only valid for 48 hours. Su Yu of course tried to use [Tinas Blood] to gold te it. When he chose to use it, he received a game prompt: Ding! Do you want to use [Tinas Blood] to enhance [Sixth-order Experience Scroll]? This item is sixth-order, and the estimated sess rate is 1.3%. 1.3%? Su Yu couldnt hide his disappointment. He only had 10 portions of [Tinas Blood] left, even if he used all of them, there was only a less than 13% chance of it turning gold; a total waste of resources. Moreover, there were only 48 hours left on the scroll, he felt that it wasnt worth it. But then Su Yu had another idea, I know the Princess and Morning Star very well. Why dont I ask them if theres a way to extend the duration of the scroll? With that thought in mind, Su Yu decided to ask before making his decision. Without any hesitation, he urged his white horse to gallop forward at full speed. In the main hall of the princesss residence. Princess Alyssa sat in the main seat, listening patiently to Su Yus adventurous journey. Morning Star, the cat,zilyy in the princesss arms, her eyes barely open, watching Su Yu. Once Su Yu finished his story, the princess joyfully said, Thank you, Nemesis! This letter is very important to us, we hope it contains what were searching for. Princess Alyssa received the mission item [A Letter Full of Affection] presented by Keerderon, used the glowing runes to dispel the magic seal on the envelope, and began reading its contents. However, when she was halfway through the letter, her face turned beet red, just like a ripe apple or a cooked crab. Your Highness, what does the letter say? Su Yu asked. Er, nothing much, its just very important information! The princess hastily tucked the letter away. Ahem, she cleared her throat, her expression returning to normal, Nevertheless, thank you, Nemesis. All for the sake of the Empire, Su Yu immediately replied. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (15/100)]. You have earned 1000 experience points as a reward. The next part of the mission will start in 40 minutes. Please stay tuned! Another 40-minute wait Su Yu was a bit exasperated. But he didnt forget to inquire about the scroll. Su Yu asked, Your Highness, while I was searching through Duke Seifers study, I found a scroll in one of his hiddenpartments. Its quite old and about to expire. I was wondering if theres any way to extend its lifespan? Su Yu took the scroll out of his bag and handed it to Keerderon. Keerderon received it on a silver tray and presented it to the Princess. As soon as the Princess got hold of the scroll, she quickly identified it as [Sixth-order Experience Scroll]. She shook her head, Im sorry, Nemesis, I dont know how to extend its lifespan. Morning Star, do you have a way? Really? Su Yu sighed quietly. Though The Princess suddenly changed her tone, People tend to be careless after drinking Ding! [Princess Alyssas] favor towards you detected to be more than 10 points. You can now activate Prepayment of Task Rewards. Ding! [Princess Alyssa] pre-pays you the 20th and 25th cyclic rewards from [Glory of the Goldfinch Empire]. [Experience Scroll of the Sixth Order], do you ept? This! Su Yu was overjoyed! He did not expect the Princess to give him a new [Experience Scroll of the Sixth Order]! Even though epting it meant giving up the 20th and 25th rewards of the main story, he still felt it was worth it! With this scroll turned into gold, hed have a life-saving card in the real world, and that was priceless! Thank you, Your Highness! Su Yu said gleefully.. Chapter 111: 111, Two weeks later_l Chapter 111: Two weekster_l Trantor: 549690339 Unbeknownst to him, two weeks had passed. Of course, two weeks referred to in-game time, whereas only 28 hours had passed in the real world. During these two weeks, Su Yu had stayed in Maple City, working on the 16th to 19th quests of the princess line. These four quests were basically the same as the 14th and 15th ones, all of which involved epting the princesssmission to help her liaise with her secret contacts in Maple City, connecting old sections, collecting intelligence, and so on. Morningstar also asionally helped, giving Su Yu a lift and helping him pass through some exceptionally tough scenes. The rewards for these four quests were not as substantial as the 15th quest, they were merely some experience points, equipment, scrolls, and potions, with no special items. Moreover, these four quests were all conducted during in-game night time. In terms of in-game daytime, the princess took Su Yu to Wolf Howl Castle to engage in lengthy negotiations with the representatives sent by Duke Seifer and Duke Landilus. All three parties involved in the meeting intended to procrastinate, thus no result could be reached from the negotiations. For a full two weeks, all three sides were pulling strings at the negotiation table, proposing their conditions without any willingness topromise. The negotiations were constantly at a stalemate. Not until the 14th day of negotiations was Duke Landiluss emissary ready for the second attack on the princess. Therefore, the emissary of Landilus overturned the negotiation table and left in anger, causing the entire negotiation to fail thoroughly. On the same day, the princess prepared her convoy to return to Goldfinch City, and the quest line also reached its 20th stage. The 20th stage quest, like the 10th stage [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon], was also a battle in a scene. Throughmunicating with the princess, Su Yu easily obtained the delegation rights for this task. The above is the main storyline of the game. As for the yer side, there had also been earth-shattering changes. After thest [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon], the ranking list faced a major reshuffle. The nine guilds participating in it had risen powerfully, bing the hot favourites in the game, attracting quite a few high-end yers to join. The Relevant Department guild of Snow Leopard was particrly outstanding. Backed by substantial resources, the number of members in the guild quickly exceeded ten thousand, making it thergest guild in the game. Emperor Blood ys the Sky and Shepherd in the Clouds seemed to have picked up on something when they saw the National Team putting so many resources into this game. The capital behind them followed the trend and increased investments. After burning through arge amount of money, they became the second and thirdrgest guilds following the Relevant Department. As for the Zhan Tian Guild, they were quite miserable. In the past, they managed to be one of the top three guilds in Maind China through broadcast advertisements from raid dungeon first clearances; along with the advertising effect of their elite members upying the top positions in the level leaderboard. But in this life, they couldnt snatch any first kills in any dungeons. Furthermore, due to Zhan Tianjians strategic mistake of not participating in the [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon], no members of the Zhan Tian Guild were visible on the level leaderboard, which led to the guilds downfall. Add to this, the Relevant Department , Emperor Blood, and Mu Yun guilds Add to this, the Relevant Department, Emperor Blood, and Mu Yun guilds investment in the game are several times more than in the previous life, which squeezed the already small living space of the Zhan Tian Guild. A few leading yers such as Cang Shan You Jing, Botany, and Matthew White were also poached by three big guilds. The Zhan Tian Guild was losing members seriously and nearly lost the possibility of entering the Top Ten National Guilds. Su Yu had been paying attention to the details of the Zhan Tian Guild. Seeing the miserable state of the Zhan Tian Guild, he gave up the idea of continuing to suppress them. After all, in the previous life, Zhan Tians contact with the Skuru waspletely dependent on the super strength of the guilds coreyer, and Zhan Tianjian, a strongman who was piled up to the pinnacle of the 6th level Sanctuary with a huge amount of resources. This lifes Zhan Tian Guild was in such a state that it was impossible for them to get strong support of national resources again. Even if they took the initiative to contact the Skuru and wanted to turn traitor, the Skuru would not be concerned with them. On the forum, the Zhan Tian Guild had also be the object of many yers mockery and ridicule. Upon learning that Cang Shan You Jing had been poached, yers on the forum sent congrattory messages one after another: Congrattions to Cang Shan You Jing for escaping misery! The Zhan Tian Guild is getting worse and worse. At the beginning of the game, they had the biggest momentum. Now they might not even make it into the top ten. Ha! They deserved it for setting up toll booths at the vige entrance. Uh, the person above, Zhan Tianjian himself rified and debunked it. They really didnt do this. Did we get a debunker? I didnt hear about it. Besides the Zhan Tian Guild, it seems like we havent had any news from Big Brother Nemesis recently. I wonder what Big Brother is up to? Who knows? Big Brothers level has been stuck at 21 and hasnt changed, and he hasnt taken any dungeon first kill. Could it be that Big Brother Nemesis found it meaningless to crush everyone and simply quit ying? Quit ying? If thats the case, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated who is ranked second on the level leaderboard would probably wake up from his dreamughing! Maybe theres just no news for the moment Didnt Big Brother Nemesis mention there was going to be another battlefield scene? Whoa, guys, go check! Big Brother Nemesis has posted! This is epic breaking news! Wheres the post? Just refresh your homepage, its either the first or the second post. Well, speak of the devil! We were just discussing Big Brother Nemesis, and there he is! At this moment, a forum member called Im Cao Mengde popped up: Who is talking about me? The post that Su Yu made on the official forum caused quite a stir! The title of Su Yus post was Recruitment for the Battlefield Scene [Perilous Escape]. Need 1,000 leading yers, firste first served! In just five short minutes, the post had gained a thousand replies! Everyone well remembered thest battlefield scene [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon] published by Su Yu, which led directly to the reshuffle of the leaderboard. The nine participating guilds rose powerfully, standing at the head wind. Big Brother is now publishing another battlefield scene, what impact will it have on the games order? Will there be any new guilds rising? In the post, Su Yu gave a detailed description of the background of this battlefield and informed everyone that he was publishing the mission at the West City Gate in Maple City. The first thousand to arrive will be served first. Beneath the post, other than the typical sofa, floors, and Huo Qian Liu Ming, yers were having a lively discussion about the contents of the post. My God! Big Brother Nemesis has released another battlefield scene mission! Will this mission result in another major reshuffle of the level leaderboard? I think Big Brother Nemesis is going to advance two more levels this time! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated will probably cry. What the hell are you guys discussing? Hurry up and log in! Ah! I have no ytime left. Ah! Im still in ss. Ah! Its expensive to teleport to Maple City. It costs 500 spiritual coins to teleport from Orleans City where I am. Haha! Fortunately, I was smart enough to be in Maple City already, Ill go online now! In the game, the teleportation array for yers on the east side of Maple City. The once rarely used teleportation array lit up withyers of white light, teleporting yers from all over the country to Maple City. After the teleportation ended, yers who teleported at a close distance were fine, but yers who teleported from a distance all experienced symptoms of headache and dizziness. However, they didnt care about these negative statuses, they quickly summoned their mounts, said hello to nearby friends, and proceeded towards the West City Gate.. Chapter 112: 112, Publish task_l Chapter 112: Publish task_l Trantor: 549690339 After posting on the forum, Su Yu copied the content of the post and pasted it into the guild master chat room. The scale of the guild master chat room has now been expanded to 25 people, and the guild masters ofrger guilds in the game have all joined this chat room. The guild masters usually discuss their experiences in managing the guild in the chat room and talk about coboration and bonding among each other. Thanks to the existence of this chat room, many conflicts betweenrge guilds are mediated here, rather than resorting to fights immediately, making the gaming environment much amicable. Upon seeing Su Yus message, guild masters in the chat room immediately bubbled up. Summer said: Nemesis, you are assigning another task, does this task give more experience points this time? Shepherd in the Clouds: I just saw this post on the forum. How did you manage to post simultaneously? Laser Pen: Indeed, you should post it in the chat room one or two hours ahead, so we can prepare. Su Yu replied: The task gives a lot more experience points thanst time; as for posting it ahead, its not possible, otherwise the big guilds will take all the ces and ordinary yers willin. Shepherd in the Clouds: Cant you at least give a hint about the time range when the task will be released? I already used up my gaming time for today, I cant participate in this campaign, I suffered a lot! Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Well, old Shepherd, this is your problem! To ept this task, I keep in sync with Nemesis these two days, it certainly wont happen to me like your situation! Shepherd in the Clouds: Damn! I didnt think of it, I miscalcted! Su Yu: Alright, whoever cane, hurry up. If youete, there will be no spots left. Snow Leopard: Alright, Im already in Maple City. Laser Pen: I am on my way! July Snow: Already on the way. The guild masters all responded. After closing the guild master chat room, Su Yu and a few people around him started chatting. Standing next to Su Yu were Sky Dragon, Swift, and A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. He notified these three in advance as they were from his own guild and deserved special treatment. Next to the Ioli Sky Dragon was a baby Howling Moon Wolf, its fur as white as snow. As she was petting its head fiercely, she turned towards Su Yu and asked, Nemesis big brother, when are we going to catch pandas? Even though the Howling Moon Wolf was not bad, it was far inferiorpared to a panda! Im afraid well have to wait for a while. Su Yu exined, This version doesnt have pandas. If you want one, you will have to go to another continent to get it. Im going to send A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated to a secret location toplete a task either today or tomorrow. After hees back, he can bring a baby panda back. Really? How long will that take? Sky Dragons big eyes sparkled with anticipation. Approximately one month, he should be able toplete the entire trial by then. One month, thats a long time! Sky Dragon clenched her little fists towards A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: You need to work hard, Big Brother A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated! After youe back, I will surely reward both the guild master and you satisfactorily! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated gave her a faint smile without saying a word. In fact, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was kind of worried himself, wondering if the warrior profession was really suitable for him. He was a martial arts master in reality, so if the warrior professions skills were all like Prison Sky Finger of the Wilderness or Star Falling of the Wilderness or Twisting Lightning Whip which all sounded ridiculously unrealistic then he would be very disappointed. Su Yu saw his concerns and said with a smile, Dont worry, youll definitely be satisfied with that profession. Also, before assuming office, there will be a series of trial tasks. You will be able to master the skills before entering the trial. If youre not satisfied, you can quit halfway through. I wont force you. Thats good, thank you, Master! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated sighed in relief. No need to thank me, its mutually beneficial yers areing, you guys go ept the task first. yers from all directions in Maple City had already started to gather around them. There was also a steady stream of yersing out of the teleportation portal, appearing like a long dragon at the end of the citys main avenue. Su Yu called out the task agency panel, and a golden exmation mark appeared above his head. Seeing the exmation mark, the three hurriedly epted the task. Ding! Congrattions on triggering therge-scale scenario battle [Dire Escape]. Battle Brief: On her way back to Goldfinch City, Princess Alyssa of the Empire encounters an attack from the rebels. The rebels are powerful and the princess entourage is no match for them. Battle Requirements: Assist the princess to escape the siege, Princess Alyssa must survive. Battle Rewards: 4500 Experience Points, 15 Spiritual Energy Coins. The difficulty of this scenario task is higher than thest one, so the reward is also 50% more than thest one. After epting the task, the trio of Sky Dragon withdrew to one side, giving the spot to other yers to ept the task. yers rushed to Su Yus side to ept the task, many of them shouted with joy: Haha! I got the task Ah! There are actually 4500 experience points! 4500 points! Really? This is too much! Thank goodness we got here early, otherwise when the big guildse, we wouldnt even have a sip of soup left! Thank you, Master Nemesis for giving us the task! Master Nemesis, youcking a girlfriend in real life? I am an 8/10 in looks and also good at warming your bed Su Yu greeted the yers while gracefully refusing those requests that attempted to take advantage of him. Among the crowd of yers, Su Yu also found a few familiar faces. Master Nemesis, Im here! Red-Eyed ck Dragon ran over in a hurry. So its Little Red! You got here quite fast! Su Yu waved his hand. Little Red.. Red -Eyed ck Dragons figure came to a halt for a moment, this was the first time he heard someone call him like this. In the meantime, Snow Leopard had also brought arge number of members to the city gate. Senior, Im here! Snow Leopard greeted Su Yu from a distance. Little Leopard, youre here too! Snow Leopards smile froze in an instant: Uh can you not call me Little Leopard? Of course! So what should I call you? Little Snow, Little Flower? Su Yu smiled. Snow Leopard: Hearing Su Yus nickname for Snow Leopard, the yers around nearlyughed out loud. They never imagined that the domineering number one guild master would be teased by Su Yu like this! However, considering Snow Leopards prestige and face, they did not dare to Snow Leopard came over with his guild members to ept the mission. As he got closer, Su Yu noticed that Snow Leopard was wearing two huge dark circles under his eyes, looking exceptionally celestial , he probably hadnt slept in days. But then again, someone in a high position like Snow Leopard probably had a ton of things to deal with even offline, and he also had to guarantee a 12-hour grind online every day. Sleep was probably a luxury to him. So Su Yu asked: Snow Leopard, when was thest time you slept? Arent you afraid of dying suddenly? Its fine. Snow Leopard exined with a smile, There is a vital sign detection system in the game. Once the game detects that my vital signs are too low, it will kick me out of the game, and then I can rest. Listening to this was quite heartbreaking, Snow Leopard must have experienced this quite a few times. It seems that the authorities are under a lot of pressure! At the same time, Su Yu nced at the [Sixth Order Temporary Experience Scroll] in his bag. In the future, he should use the scroll in real life when he gets a lifesaving method! If he captures another Spiritual Spring Eye, he could probably relieve a lot of the pressure on the authorities.. Chapter 113: 113. The Jelly Bean Man Turns Out to be Me 1 Chapter 113: 113. The Jelly Bean Man Turns Out to be Me 1 Trantor: 549690339 Participation in the campaign (233/1000). Participation in the campaign (588/1000). Participation in the campaign (1000/1000). In just a few minutes, the quota of one thousand had been filled, and the golden exmation point above Su Yus head had turned gray and was no longer avable. There were still arge number of yers rushing over to ept the quest eagerly. Upon discovering that the quota for the quest was already filled, thest group of yers started wailing: Ah, I was just a few steps away! Just a few steps away from epting it! Same here, if I had known I wouldve checked the forum a few minutes earlier! I feel like Ive been eliminated in JellyBean Man! Youre right, it does feel like that! I didnt expect to be the JellyBean Man myself! Su Yu smiled at these yers, All you JellyBean Men, better head home now. Next time,e a bit earlier! Ha ha ha! The yers nearby burst intoughter, as the absurdity of linking quest eptance to JellyBean Man was hriously absurd! Su Yu turned to the guild leaders who were chatting on the side, Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, would you two create a few chat groups and add all the yers who epted the quest? It will be easier to assign tasks that way. Alright! Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon immediately replied. Then, Ill trigger the quest. You all just wait here. Su Yu waved goodbye to the yers, riding Dima to report to the princess. Five minutester, apanied by the rumbling of wheels, the princesss motorcade set out from Maple City. The yers summoned their mounts and followed behind the princesss motorcade. Everyone was incredibly excited. 4500 points of experience, wow! Last time it was 3000, this time it could break 10,000? Wouldnt this usher in a huge reshuffle in the level rankings? Many looked enviously towards the silhouette in the front carriage. Whenever that man made a move, he always stirred up a major event! Su Yu, just likest time, was seated on the third carriage with Princess Alyssa. Only now, Alyssa seemed a little embarrassed, Nemesis, Im sorry we didnt inform you in advance that weve changed our route back to Goldfinch City. Changed route? Which route did we change to? Su Yu asked. This time weve opted to take the water route. General Shuhes battleships are already waiting for us at the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal. Based on my judgment, the water route should be safer. Su Yu nodded, If its the water route, then its the water route. I have no objection. The princess was right. Kalets Rebel Navy has always been their weakest link, so taking the water route would undoubtedly enhance their safety. But The princess nced at therge group of yers with a troubled look. General Shuhe didnt prepare enough ships for us. Only three battleships cant carry all these adventurers. Can you dismiss some of them? Just leave three to four hundred. This Su Yu frowned. He realized that this was the first test of this scenario quest. However, Su Yu quickly thought of a strategy. Dont worry, I have a solution! Then he said to Cat Morning Star in the princesss arms, Morning Star, transform into a deer, well head to the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal first. Morning Star: About ten minutester, at the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal. The yers were standing on the dock, looking at the huge fleet anchoring not far away. The threergest ships in the fleet were General Shuhes battleships, with the g of the Goldfinch family gleaming at the top of the masts. Each of the battleships decks held thirty to forty soldiers armed in armor or holding bows and arrows, all extremely powerful. Behind the battleships were threergemercial vessels. These were the vessels that Su Yu had bought for fifty thousand spiritual energy coins each to provide for the yers. The yers were lining up to board and were all incredibly excited. This campaign quest is even more epic than thest one! Its a naval battlefield! Ive always been afraid of water since I was a kid, but not this time! Did you see the ship were standing on? Nemesis just said in the chat that he bought these three ships, each costing fifty thousand spiritual energy coins! Fifty thousand! Is that even true? It should be, I have a friend who once wanted to buy a ship for trading, and it costs about fifty to sixty thousand spiritual energy coins for a ship of this tonnage. My god! Three ships thats one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins! Nemesis sure is loaded! Nemesis is too kind! Providing us a high-experience quest and spending so much money on us. I cant stand it. After the quest is finished, I must give the spiritual energy coins earned from the quest to Nemesis to make up his loss. Me too. Count me in. Meanwhile, Su Yu, the princess, General Shuhe, and the ship owners were chatting on the dock. The princess looked at the threergemercial ships behind the battleships, finding it hard to believe, Nemesis, did you buy these three ships? They mustve cost a lot! Not much, just one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins. For Your Highnesss safety considerations, no amount of money is too much! Su Yuughed. He took out his ck Magic Crystal Card and transferred one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins to the ship owners. The ship owners, upon receiving the money, were all beaming with joy. The princess watched Su Yus actions. Considering that Su Yu had never actively asked anything from her and had only gone out of his way to spend on her behalf, her gratitude towards Su Yu deepened. When I ascend the throne, I must award Nemesis a high-ranking title! she thought to herself. Ding! Princess Alyssas favorability towards you has increased by 3. Seeing the increased favorability of the princess, Su Yu couldnt help but feel relieved. He made the payment to the ship owners in front of the princess to increase her favorability towards him. At present, the princesss favorability towards him had already reached 17. As long as it increased by another 3 to reach 20, he would gain more World Prestige points, and then he could umte 10 World Prestige points to buy territory! Standing beside them was the very robust middle-aged soldier, General Shuhe. He had no objection to Su Yu purchasing these boats, as they could serve as cannon fodder if a battle were to break out ahead. He nced at the sky and then respectfully said to the princess, Your Highness, its gettingte, lets set off. Alright, lets set off! The princess nodded, nced at Su Yu, and then stepped onto the battleship. Su Yu followed the princess onto the battleship. The two of them, together, ascended to the second floor of the battleship. The second floor of the battleship was clearly in a luxurious setting arranged by General Shuhe, affording a particrly expansive view. From the second floor, one could clearly see the wide and t river surface, as well as the thriving Blue Maple Town on the west side of the river. The river in front was called the Forever Night River. Following the river downstream would lead to the intersection of the Forever Night River and the Luminous River. Taking this route to Goldfinch City would save three days of travel time. General Shuhe didnt join Su Yu and the others on the second floor, instead, he stood on the battleships deck. Once everyone had boarded, he loudly announced: The princess has ordered, the fleet sets sail! General Shuhes voice echoed over the river. The grand fleet started to move and officially set sail! Chapter 114: 114, attack from the rear, also known as backstab 1 Chapter 114: attack from the rear, also known as backstab 1 Trantor: 549690339 General Shuhe leads the fleet with his three warships, closely followed by the yers threergemercial ships. Several smaller trade ships trail behind. The fleet rides the waves and continues forward smoothly. The crew obediently carries out their duties; everything is as calm as can be. Aboard the foremost warship, Su Yu feels invigorated by the wind sting against her face. Sipping tea brought by a maid, she feels a sense of tranquility. Ding! You drank the [Panda Green Tea], you gained 200 experience points. (Only effective the first time) Oh? Its a specialty of the Pandamen? Su Yu scrutinizes the porcin cup in her hand. It figures. In the games setting, the Pandamen Empire is an ancient utopia, reputed for its strength and mystery, as one of the three great empires along with the Goldfinch. Tea, silk, porcin, peppercorns, and other products of the Pandamen are considered top-tier luxury items. Its no surprise that their tea would be a staple beverage for a princess. Once A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated goes to the Pandamen Empire, we might be able to establish a trade route through his trial. This new trade route is safer and can save half of the time than the old one. If we sessfully establish it, we will be earning spiritual energy coins by the handful! Su Yus thoughts drift. But the princesss words bring Su Yu back to the present: Nemesis, if I be the Empress one day, what reward would you like? If possible, I would like to serve as your Trade Minister, protecting the overseas trade of the Empire! replies Su Yu. The Trade Minister is one of the most profitable positions in the empire, but its difficult for a yer to ascend to that rank. I see The princess seems slightly disappointed. She had initially thought that Nemesis would demand a rank equal to or higher than a count and control over vast territories. She hasnt expected Nemesis to settle for something as low as a trade minister. Never mind, well see how he performs in the future! If he does well, in addition to the trade minister, I can even get him ennobled as a count. The princess no longer looks at Su Yu, instead she turns to the view outside the window. Aboard thergemercial ship trailing behind. Many yers, touring the ship out of curiosity, are setting foot in this old-style sailing boat for the first time. And many are wielding their weapons, shouting intensely: This is it, the sea where a mans romance lives! I will be the King of Pirates! I will be the Pirate King! You three are idiots! This is a river, not a sea! Snow Leopard stands near the aft window on the second deck. He encroaches upon the window, a crease furrowing his forehead, unlike the other yers who are brimming with curiosity. Eventually, he murmurs, Somethings not right. Mr. Zhong, whats the matter? Truth of Range looks towards him. Take a look at those small ships trailing us. Theres something strange about them. Snow Leopard points to the various small ships outside the window. Truth of Range sighs, Theres nothing wrong with those ships. Theyre just ordinary trading vessels. Before we embarked, Mr. Tang and I inspected the vessels. Theyre all manned by ordinary NPC merchants. These NPC merchants wanted to deliver goods to a location not far downstream. By following us, they can fend off attacks from water bandits. Unbreakable Alliance, standing nearby, also nodded, Thats right. Both Mr. Yellow and I had boarded the ships before we set off. Other than the merchants and sailors, there are only somerge wooden boxes filled with goods on board. There shouldnt be any problems. Large wooden boxes? Snow Leopard piques interest, Whats inside the boxes? We didnt check, but they should be goods. Mr. Zhong, surely you dont suspect As hes about to finish his sentence, Truth of Range abruptly stops speaking. Through the aft window, he clearly sees water ghosts, dressed in ck diving suits, suddenly appearing atop the small trade ships following them before diving into the water with a ssh. Under attack! Brace yourselves! Snow Leopards voice echoes over the wide river. Allughter and noise from the yers abruptly ceases. Through messages broadcasted in the chatroom, theyre informed that the impending threat isnting from ahead, but from behind! The yers hurriedly prepare for battle. And then Su Yu announces her branching task: yer Nemesis offers you the task[Protect the Merchant Ships], do you ept? ept! Ding! Congrattions, youve triggered the side task of the Scenario, Battle Campaign[Protect the Merchant Ships]. Task requirements: Ensure that the damage to the three merchant ships doesnt exceed 40%. Current damage: 0%. Task rewards: 750 experience points, 5 spiritual energy coins. yer Nemesis offers you the task[y the Water Ghosts] Ding! Congrattions, youve triggered the side task of the Scenario, Battle Campaign[y the Water Ghosts]. Task requirements: Repel the water ghosts attacking the merchant ships. Task rewards: 750 experience points, 5 spiritual energy coins. yer Nemesis offers you the task[Counterattack: upation] Ding! Congrattions, youve triggered the side task of the Scenario, Battle Campaign[Counterattack: upation]. Task requirements: Capture 10 of the ships carrying water ghosts from behind. Progress: (0/10). Task rewards: 900 experience points, 6 spiritual energy coins. With a wave of her hand, Su Yu issues the three tasks. The yers are overjoyed; their blood boiled. 2400 experience points! Theyre receiving 2400 experience points right as the taskmences. The rewards for this task are far too generous! Excited and eager for the uing battle against the water ghosts, the yers flex their knuckles in preparation. Snow Leopard immediately broadcasts themand in all chatrooms. Soon after themand was issued, the three yer-controlled merchant ships began to slow down, gradually turning around. Under Su Yus request, the three system-controlled warships up front also began to slow down, turning around to prepare for a face-off with the water ghosts. Archers and mages walk to the side of the ships, indiscriminately firing towards the water beneath or casting [Ice Arrows] Even though arrows and the [Ice Arrows] will lose their power after entering the water, the yers have an advantagetheir numbers! Under the dense cover of arrows and magic, blood soon began to rise to the surface of the water. Its clear that some of the water ghosts lurking beneath had been wounded. The water ghosts realize their n to sink the ships wont work. Because theyre underwater and cant leverage their strength, it will take a considerable amount of time to make holes in the ships. Given that the yers attacks are so concentrated, they might turn into frozen hedgehogs before they can even breach the ship. Thus, the water ghosts abandon their n to sink the ships and begin to engage directly. Bang, bang, bang! The water surface explodes in session, and shadowy figures burst from the water,nding elegantly and lightly on the deck and the sides of the ship like nimble birds. The archers and mages standing on the side of the ship are taken by surprise, turning into beams of white light under the water ghosts longswords. But, the melee yers on the ship react quickly, rushing headlong into the water ghosts. With six ships serving as the battlefield, a brutal fight gradually begins.. Chapter 115: 115. Nemesis Big shot X Boss Kev/ 1 Chapter 115: 115. Nemesis Big shot X Boss Kev/ 1 Trantor: 549690339 The level of the [Water Fiends] was on par with the yers, around 12-14. However, they all had elite temtes, with health five times that of the same level of mini-creatures. In the middle of the Water Fiends were also some [Water Fiend Leaders], level 14, with health reaching the same level as the boss, more skills, and greater power. However, the Water Fiends were quite dispersed, while the yers were rtively concentrated. Before boarding, the Snow Leopard had optimized the job configuration for people on each ship. The ratios of tank sses, output sses, and healing sses on each ship were rtively bnced. With the coordination of the yers, the offensive of the Water Fiends was soon blocked. One by one, the Water Fiends under the yers concentrated fire turned into experience points and dropped items. On the second battleship where the princess was riding in the front, yers were fighting bloody battles with the Water Fiends. At that moment. A loud thud! A Water Fiend more than three meters tall jumped out of the water and stood steady on the ships side. [Water Fiend Leader IV15 (Rare)]. It was actually a rare level BOSS! The yers were shocked and started sending messages in the chat room: Alert! Alert! A rare level BOSS is on the second battleship, request for support! We need help quickly, otherwise the second ship might not be able to hold! Boss Snow Leopard, quickly send someone! Snow Leopard noticed the messages in the chat room. He was about to send someone for reinforcement, but he received a private message from Su Yu. After reading the private message, he shook his head with a wry smile and said in the chat room:The second battleship doesnt need reinforcement, on the contrary, you can go and help out the brothers on the other ships. Why? What are you talking about, boss? A torrent of question marks washed over the chat room. However, these voices of doubt disappeared quickly. Because right then, a red fireball the size of a basin flew down from the second floor of the battleship and smacked into the [Water Fiend Leader]. 0100. The [Water Fiend Leader] was sted to a singed ck, its health bar instantly zeroed out and was instantly killed. 8160 points of damage? Was it an NPC who made the move? The yers present were shocked. But they quickly realized it couldnt be, because there wouldnt be any drops if an NPC killed a monster. And the [Water Fiend Leader] just dropped a sack thaty shining on the deck. Hiss! Seeing the sack, the yers gasped. It was a yer who had made the move! Turning their heads to look at the second floor, they were stunned to see Su Yu standing at the position where the fireball had beenunched! 8160 points of damage! One-hit KO a level 15 BOSS? Oh my god! Is this the strength of Boss Ke? This damage it is too high! Su Yu, however, was very calm. He had only charged up his [Fireball Skill] to 10 times its power before releasing it. With a 6 level difference between him and the BOSS, it wasnt surprising he could obliterate it instantaneously. Seeing the astonished looks of the yers on the deck, Su Yu smiled at them and waved: Keep up the good work! Just call me if there are more bosses. yers: . The various chat rooms also exploded: Damn! 8160 points of damage! Boss Ke justunched a [Fireball Skill] inflicting 8160 points of damage directly! He instantly killed a level 15 rare BOSS! Over eight thousand points of damage, really? Im not well-read, dont deceive me. Absolutely not kidding you! Everyone on the ship saw it! I can confirm! I was nearly scared to death back then! My hand is still shaking. 8160 points of damage?! Are you sure you didnt see an extra o? Dammit! Im level 12 and my Fireball only causes tens of points of damage! No wonder Boss Nemesis always tops the charts, I finally found the reason hes cheating! Im starting to think boss doesnt quite do Nemesis justice anymore, its more like a top-tier BOSSs output capacity. How about we call him Boss Ke? Boss Ke? Good idea! Seconded! Boss Ke is mighty, Boss Ke is awesome! Su Yu also quickly received a private message, its from Red-Eyed ck Dragon. Red -Eyed ck Dragon: Boss Ke, I heard you hit over eight thousand points of damage with one Fireball? Instantly killing level 15 rare BOSS?! Su Yu: Yeah! I was just buffed by a high-level NPC and could easily take out the BOSS. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Su Yu: Alright, no more kidding. Tell Snow Leopard that we need to end this battle quickly, something feels off. The enemy Su Yu is feeling suspicious about is because the timing of the Water Ghosts attack is wrong. If these Water Ghosts waited patiently and attacked them while they were battling with Duke Landilus battle ship in front, wouldnt that be better? Attacking them at this time is just feeding them, isnt it? Moreover, the Water Ghosts are weak, they can be handled by the yers alone without the princesss guard intervening. So Su Yu wants to end the battle quickly, settle it and leave as soon as possible. Therefore, he no longer hid his strength, using [sh Skill] to move between each warship, spotting a BOSS, he would instantly kill it with a [Fireball Skill] or [Thunderfall Skill]. The yers on each ship also saw Su Yus damage fluctuating between 8000 and 10000+, dumbfounded. We are all yers, why can your damage alone top hundreds of ours? The yers looked at each other, not knowing how toment. This made the originally lively battlefield somewhat bleak. With the full support of Su Yu, the Water Ghosts on the six ships were quickly cleaned up. The bow of the ship alsopleted its turn, the yers began to strike hard against the small ships of the Water Ghosts. In less than 10 minutes, the yers seized 13 small boats, the remaining Water Ghosts fled in the wind, and the yers achieved a phased victory! But the yers are somewhatck of enthusiasm. Su Yus damage just now was really scary! The joy of victory and gaining experience points were diluted by those enormous numbers of damage. They all looked up at Su Yu standing on the top of the ship in front of them, with mixed feelings. Is this guy really a yer? Its not like an NPC has infiltrated the yers ranks to deliberately discourage us, right!? But just as the yers cleaned the battlefield and prepared to march on, Su Yu, standing on the ship, suddenly fixed his gaze! He saw more than 20 Water Ghost ships floating down from upstream! The yers also saw these Water Ghost ships and cheered up slightly. Water Ghosts are all experience points! If Su Yu distributes a few more tasks, wouldnt the total experience gained from this campaign increase a lot more! However, thats not what Su Yu thought. He immediately sent a private message to Snow Leopard: Snow Leopard, were not going to fight these Water Ghosts. They are probably deliberately dying our travel time. Dying time? Exactly! Think about it. This batch of Water Ghosts could have waited for us to confront Landiluss fleet before attacking us. The probability of breaking us when we are attacked from front and back would be much greater. The reason they attack us now is definitely because the front troops are not ready yet. They are forced to make a suicidal attack to dy our time! Makes sense! No wonder something felt off, I thought it was a game setup. Having thought of this, Snow Leopard immediately gave orders in the chatroom: All listen! Were ignoring these Water Ghosts, all ships full speed ahead! Mages go and stand on the rear side of the ship, use [Ice Arrow] to create ice blocks to hinder the Water Ghosts behind; archers keep an eye out for Water Ghosts chiseling the ship, everyone else stay put! Why? Isnt the Water Ghost a lot of experience, why not eat it? All kinds of questions emerged in the chatroom. However, everyone trusted in Snow Leopards judgment, and they all followed themand, lining up as he said.. Chapter 116: 116. Using otherworld adventurers to deal with otherworld adventurers 1 Chapter 116: 116. Using otherworld adventurers to deal with otherworld adventurers 1 Trantor: 549690339 On the Forever Night River, sixrge ships carrying yers rode the wind and waves, sailing smoothly downstream. More than twenty small merchant ships carrying water ghosts were relentlessly pursuing them from behind. As for the 13 small merchant ships that the yers had seized, they had to be abandoned due to ack of sufficient crewmembers. At the stern of the sixrge ships, the Mages among the yers lined up in a row, casting [Ice Arrow] at the water surface behind the boats. The [Ice Arrow] plunged diagonally into the water, releasing cold air that instantly formed chunks of ice, bothrge and small, on the surface of the water. Some Mages organized themselves to cast [Ice Arrow] at the same patch of water,bining it with some [Ice Cone Skill], sessfully generating arge area of floating ice. This floating ice posed a huge challenge for the small merchant ships of the water ghosts trailing behind. These small merchant ships were light, and they could easily capsize if they hit a piece of floating ice while speeding along. This forced the fleet of water ghost ships to reduce their speed. With the obstruction of the floating ice, the distance between the two fleets gradually increased. Standing on the top deck of the ship, the Snow Leopard revealed a satisfied smile as the water ghost fleet gradually disappeared from his sight. At the same time, on the secondyer of the battle ship, Su Yu was reporting the recent battle situation to the princess and General Shuhe. Your Highness, General Shuhe, we have repelled this batch of water ghosts, and the fleet of water ghosts behind us is blocked by the floating ice created by our Mages. They wont have the chance to catch up with us. Well done, Nemesis! Princess Alyssa praised. General Shuhe also showed an admiring look. However, Su Yus tone changed, ording to my spection, their kamikaze attacks are to buy time Next, Su Yu detailed his recent spection inplete form. After hearing Su Yus spection, General Shuhe, stroking his chin, nodded: Your conjecture makes sense. I also think that Landilus is not ready, otherwise he wouldnt send his subordinates to die. So General, what should we do? The princess looked somewhat anxious. Dont worry, Your Highness. General Shuhe saluted the princess, I will order the fleet to move forward at full speed and break through before Landiluspletes his interception, taking you safely out of here! Thanks a lot. The princess sighed with relief, When we return to Goldfinch City, I will definitely report to my father and reward you and Nemesis handsomely! Many thanks, Your Highness! General Shuhe and Su Yu responded simultaneously. At the same time, in Kaishi town thats downstream of the Forever Night River. Kaishi town lies on the princesss voyage route. In the eastern sky of Kaishi town, four figures flew over the Forever Night The leader was a brawny golden-haired warrior, none other than Duke Landilus, the leader of the Kalet rebel army, a sixth-order Sanctuary powerhouse. Behind him were two seventh-order legendary powerhouses and one sixth-order space system Mage. Were here. Duke Landilus smiled as he looked at the beautiful scenery of Kaishi town, I didnt expect Princess Alyssa to change her route at thest minute and choose a waterway. No problem, we can still intercept her sessfully. Master Antondidas, its all up to you this time! Rest assured, leave it to me! Antondidas was a sixth-order space system Mage, appearing as a hale and hearty old man with a white beard. He flew towards the direction of Forever Night River. After reaching the sky above Forever Night River, Antondidas set up a space coordinate in the pre-set river channel. Vrrm- C The bright white space magic array unfolded on the surface of the water. The Six-pointed Star of the magic array radiated brilliant light, arge sh of white light symbolizing teleportation passed by, and fourrge warships were teleported here from the river channel tens of kilometers away. Looking at the fourrge warships and soldiers that appeared on the river, Landilus nodded with satisfaction. As expected of Master Antondidas! There arent many in the world who can perform mass teleportation across tens of kilometers! Landilus turned to one of the seventh-order powerhouses behind him, Master T Yang, how is Madelines injury? This seventh-order powerhouse was named T Yang, a middle-aged male Holy Knight of the seventh order. Madeline was the Holy Knight who fought with the Shadow Necromancer Xi Fan in the Battle of the Giant Gorge. T Yang and Madeline were close friends, and he had been trying to heal the dying Madeline. T Yang shook his head somberly, Madelines injury is very serious. Although she wont die under my treatment, its likely that her injury wont improve within five years. After five years, even if she recovers her strength, she probably wont be able to return to her peak. Is that so? Landilus sighed, Then handling the Shadow Necromancer Xi Fan this time would have to be left to you! Leave it to me! T Yang stated solemnly, The Shadow and the Holy Light are irreconcble, eradicating the Shadow is a responsibility we of the Holy Light lineage could never shirk from! At this point, T Yang nced at the other seventh-order powerhouse floating beside them, with clear repulsion in his eyes. This seventh-order powerhouse was a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old in ck clothes and a ck hat. However, this little girl was enveloped in an intense aura of the dead. Damn Necromancer, T Yang thought. He didnt feel at ease fighting side by side with a Necromancer. Hey, big guy, why are you looking at me? The little girl noticed T Yangs gaze, lightly waved the magic wand in her hand, andughed, I was invited by Duke to deal with Morning Star. If you keep looking at me like that, Im going to get angry! Landilus also stepped in to mediate the situation immediately, Master T Yang, this is Master Walnut. Master Walnut is a very powerful expert. With her here, we can handle the Star Realms Cat Morning Star. Hehe! The girl named Walnut chuckled, and yfully winked at T Yang. T Yang furrowed his brow slightly, but didnt say anything more. At this point, the space system Mage Antondidas flew back from the direction of the river channel. He heard the conversation between T Yang and Walnut, but he didnt mind. Heughed at Landilus, Duke, I heard about Madelines failure in the Giant Wood Canyonst time. I believe the main reason for that failure was that Princess Alyssa leveraged the power of the otherworld adventurers. Otherworld adventurers? Exactly. Antondidas said slowly, Otherworld adventurers are perpetuated by their ability to resurrect after death. They may seem weak now, but once these adventurers gain enough levels, they will be a fearsome force! So how should we deal with this variable of otherworld adventurers? Landilus didnt deny it, but asked humbly. Its simple, we can use the otherworld adventurers to deal with the otherworld adventurers! Antondidas stroked his white beard, revealing a confident smile.. Chapter 117: 117, The days change, artifacts become easier 1 Chapter 117: The days change, artifacts be easier 1 Trantor: 549690339 Using trans-dimensional travelers to confront other trans-dimensional travelers? Landilus hesitated. but currently, there are only a few dozens of them in Kaishi Town, arent there? Rest assured, leave it to me. A smile appeared on Antondidass face. He then raised his staff high. Hum Antondidas eyes and staff lit up with a dazzling white light. A massive silver-white space system magic circle spread under his feet, with the space system magic power spreading out in ripples centered around him, spreading at the speed of light, covering the entire four million square kilometers of the Goldfinch Empire. At this moment, all yers in the game received a game notification: Ding! The [Fight for survival (Duke Landiluss side)] scenario battle portal has opened at the coordinates (xxx, xxx). Adventurers above level 8 are encouraged to participate! Current participation number (0/10000). At the entrance squares of all major newbie viges and the central squares of all major cities, a [Teleportation Portal] with a diameter of five meters had opened, emitting a deep blue light. Above the [Teleportation Portal], a golden exmation mark hung. Whats this? Mr. Li, did you receive a game prompt? I did, what is a scenario battle portal? It might be a game event! Anyway, lets go check it out quickly! Upon receiving the game prompt, all yers above level 8 stopped leveling up and rushed to the coordinate location. Some yers were just near the square. Upon seeing the five-meter-tall [Teleportation Portal] open, yers surrounded it with the mentality of watching a spectacle. After interacting with the [Teleportation Portal], they directly triggered the scenario battle. Ding! Congrattions on triggering therge-scale scenario battle [Fight for survival (Duke Landiluss side)]. Battle introduction: The dav has changed, the divine tools change hands, and the virtuous return to their rightful ce, such is the way of nature. The emperor of the Goldfinch Empire is brutal and unruly, causing disaster to the people, their lives in decay, he is shunned by the world; With heavens ord, Duke Landilus is adored by the people, his virtue admired from all sides, truly the one chosen by heaven! We must obey heavens mandate, strike down the rebels, wouldnt that be a sight to behold? Battle requirements: assist [T Yang] in defeating [Princess Alyssa]s troops (Progress 0%). Task reward: Experience Points x2000, 1 spiritual energy coin. Antondidas could only recruit 1000 yers at most for the tasks he posted himself, so he issued the task in the name of T Yang and expanded the recruitment limit to 10000 yers. But upon seeing this task introduction, yers held back their snidements making them choke on their words, not knowing how to voice it. Hey, hey, hey! This is a western fantasy online game, why was the task introduction written in ssicalnguage? This isnt right at all! And this introduction, why does it sound so familiar? But yers mightin, epting the task is a must, 2000 experience points isnt a small amount. After epting the task, yers walked into the teleportation portal one after another. (1314/10000) (2333/10000) (10000/10000) In just twenty minutes, nearly ten thousand yers stepped into the [Teleportation Portal] and were teleported next to Antondidas in Kaishi Town. To prevent the yers from not being able to see them, Antondidas and his group used the dwarf-made [World Reducer] to increase their size by 100 times. Landilus, T Yang, Antondidas, and Walnut all became giants one to two hundred meters tall. yers stepping out from the teleportation portal, Seeing the four huge humans in front of them, many were scared, not daring to speak for a moment. But there were also some yers who had glowing eyes when they saw the cute and pretty [Walnut], Such a cute Ioli! Yeah, shes so beautiful! Thats a plum blossom on her hat! Her pants are so short, maybe if we get closer we can see Walnut was wearing a pair of ck super shorts on her lower body, and they were quite loose, not the tight kind. Due to the erged stature, some LSP yers thought they could see something if they got closer. So they immediately ran wildly towards Walnut. Sigh! Walnut sighed softly. A wave of the magic wand, those who ran closer were instantly turned into white ghosts and put into her purse. Antondidas, do trans-dimensional adventurers have such poor quality? Walnut rolled her eyes at Antondidas. Cough cough! Antondidas coughed lightly, sternly saying to all yers, All adventurers listen, stand in the designated area and dont move around! Anyone who moves around will have their task qualifications directly cancelled, understand? The yers lost some momentum, honestly staying in ce. Under Antondidassmand, the yers, with tanks in front and damage dealers and healers in the rear, lined up properly on the open ground. On Su Yus side, of course, they had also received the news. Due to this incident, the channels of all major guilds exploded and they couldnt help but know what was happening. Inside the cabin of the merchant ship in the rear, Su Yu, Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, and a group of guild leaders gathered together to discuss countermeasures. That really isnt fair y from the system! eximed the Red-Eyed ck Dragon. Setting us up against 10 times the number of yers as our enemies! Yes, indeed! However, their rewards are far less than ours, only 2000 experience and 1 spiritual energy coin. Summer sighed. Su Yuughed and said, It doesnt matter if its 2000, even if its just 1000, yers will participate, theres no helping it, yers are just so easy to please. You can say that again! The guild leaders in the room shared a knowing smile. Snow Leopard then asked: Senior, what do you think of this? Should we change our n? Su Yu calmly replied: No need, we can continue with the old n. Our mission objective is to break through the encirclement with the Princess, not to kill all ten thousand yers. And these nearly ten thousand yers cant all get on the boat and fight, the surface of the water is still our best breakthrough point. Snow Leopard nodded, Then we stick with our n. The six warships continued to float downstream. Upon entering the area of Kaishi Town, the yers on the boat were momentarily shut up from shock after seeing these four giants that were one to two hundred meters tall. Hmph! A contemptuous cold snort sounded, the 7th rank Dark Shepherd Xi Fan turned into a dark purple shadow and left the warship, appearing in the sky, eyes locked onto T Yang. Roar! A clear dragon roar sounded. The image of a giant starlight dragon with a wingspan of one hundred meters appeared in the sky. Lucifer came out too, his gaze sharply locked onto the little Ioli, Walnut, in the ck hat and ck dress. General Shuhe tightened his grip on his long sword, and also leapt into the sky, pointing his sword at Antondidas. General Shuhe had just entered the Sanctuary, and Antondidas was a mage at the peak of the Sanctuary. Even if thetters magic power was not small, he was far from being Antondidas opponent. While Shuhe and Lucifer carefully watched their opponent, they also looked down and paid attention to the route of the ship fleet below. They would handle the enemies in the sky, hoping the ship fleet could break through sessfully! Chapter 118: 118, Use Scroll_l Chapter 118: Use Scroll_l Trantor: 549690339 On the warship, Su Yu looked at the familiar figures of these strongmen from the enemy side, his eyes slightly narrowed: Duke Landilus, T Yang, Antondidas, Walnut. These are the top strongmen in the game world. T Yang and Antondidase from the Lai Yin Empire to the west, under themand of the Lai Yin Emperor; Walnut is from the Pandamen Empire in the east, the head of the Hall of Reincarnation. (The Pandamen Empire is not just made up of Pandamen, but majority are Pandamen.) During this time, when the Goldfinch Empire is on the verge of copse, as expected, foreign forces are intervening. But Su Yu only nced at them once and then turned away. The confrontation between these strongmen is irrelevant to him, what Su Yu needs to do now is to ensure the safety of the princess and sessfully pass this battle scenario. After General Shuhe left, themand of the fleet was handed over to his deputy, Shu Ke. Shu Ke is a fifth-tier Archer, he activated his [Eagle Eye Skill] and surveyed the enemys four warships. The fleet continued to advance, and when they were 200 meters from the enemy ship, Shu Ke gave themand: Turn the ship around, drop anchor, stop, use the Magic Crystal Cannons to attack! Under Shu Kesmand, three warships slowly reduced their speed, made a 90-degree turn in the river, dropped their anchors, and then faced the enemy warships with the broad side of their hulls. Then, dark muzzles emerged from the body of the warships and directed towards the enemy. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the deafening sound of cannon fire, colorful Magic Crystal Cannonballs flew towards the enemy ships. Facing the intimidating Magic Crystal Cannonballs, colorful magic shields appeared around the enemy fleet, enveloping the warships. The Magic Crystal Cannonballs hit the magic shields, causing a massive magic explosion. The magic shields only flickered a few times, easily blocking the explosion outside. In the following 10 minutes, the warships on the princesss side continuously fired Magic Crystal Cannons at the enemy ships. The dukes forces passively endured the onught behind their magic shield, but the shield never broke. As time passed, the rate of fire of the Magic Crystal Cannons gradually decreased, and the enemys magic shield wasnt as thick as before. The naval battle had turned into a war of attrition, waiting to see which side would be the first to falter. As for the six strongmen in the sky, they didnt make a move, maintaining a standoff instead. They knew that the key to this battle was not their fight, but Princess Alyssa on the warship. The princess is the key to determining the oue of this battle! On the warship, Su Yu asked Shu Ke in a low voice: General Shu Ke, how long does it take to break the enemys magic shield? Shu Ke had been monitoring the enemy with [Eagle Eye Skill]. He originally didnt want to answer. But thinking that Su Yu is favored by the princess, Shu Ke slightly irritably replied: 5-8 minutes, wait patiently. Alright. Su Yu stepped aside. But at this moment, he received a private message from Snow Leopard in the rear: Senior, the ship fleet of the Water Demons from the rear has caught up! And there are even more this time, about more than thirty! How many minutes until they catch up with us? 3-4 minutes. Such a coincidence? Su Yu muttered to himself. But Su Yu quickly made a decision. He decided to use the [Sixth-Tier Temporary Experience Scroll] that was going to expire in a few hours in his backpack right now. This battle scenario seemed very difficult to him, and it seemed like now was not the time to save resources. He decided to use this backup card that was about to expire! The experience scroll is rated by rarity and can be strengthened with [Point Star Hand]. Su Yu had not previously strengthened it, as he was unsure whether he should use [Blood of Tina] to gold-te, as the higher the quality, the lower the likely sess rate of gold-ting. Now that he was about to use it, of course, he had to strengthen it first. Su Yu used [Point Star Hand] to enhance it. Ding, will you spend 770 spiritual energy coins to strengthen the [Sixth-Tier Temporary Experience Scroll (Ordinary)]? Sure. Ding, the quality of the [Sixth-Tier Temporary Experience Scroll (Ordinary)] has been upgraded to the [Sixth-Tier Temporary Experience Scroll (Excellent)], and gained the ability to specify one fixed upation and charge time -1 minute. Note: Only one upation can be activated at the same time. Previously, the temporary experience scroll could only randomly select an indefinite upation, and it needed to input magic power for 5 minutes to activate. After enhancement, the scroll can specify a desired upation, and the time needed to input magic power has also been reduced. Ding, will you spend 7700 spiritual energy coins Ding, will you spend 77700 spiritual energy coins After enhancing it two more times, the scroll was upgraded to Epic quality. With the Epic quality, the scroll can choose up to three fixed upations, and the time for entering magic power is reduced to two minutes, beyond that, there is no change to the scrolls attributes. Su Yu did not continue to enhance it, further enhancement required 770,000 spiritual energy coins, the revealed attribute only added an additional fixed upation, the cost-effective wasnt too high, he mustnt waste money even if he had plenty. After finishing the enhancement, Su Yu immediately held the experience scroll in his hand to activate it. At the same time, he said to Shu Ke next to him: General Shu Ke, stop firing now and lead the fleet to rush forward! You damn, dont make nonsensical suggestions! Shu Ke turned his head to scold Su Yu. Su Yu didnt speak, but just waved the scroll in his hand at him. After seeing the scroll, Shu Kes follow-up scolding immediately choked in his throat: Is this a Sixth-Tier Transformation Scroll?! Exactly. Lucky kid, how many good things did Princess give you? Shu Kes jealous eyes turned a little green. Even though he was already at the fifth tier, he wouldnt ignore such a high-level treasure. Now follow mymand, all ship turn around, charge at the enemy formation! Shu Ke shouted loudly. Hismand was quickly passed on to every warship. The three warships pulled up their anchors, made a 90-degree turn, then rushed downstream towards the enemy fleet. In the process of activating the experience scroll, Su Yu opened the first-person view and started recording the video. Last time in the battle, he didnt use the first-person view as it would expose too many of his secrets. Now that he is using the experience scroll, it doesnt matter anymore, and the audience could only see the content of the transformation. Moreover, after posting the video online in the future, the yers who watch the video will be able to experience the power of Sanctuary strongmen and the thrill of flying in physical form! This might further stimte their enthusiasm for leveling up. At the same time, Su Yu also sent a private message to Snow Leopard: Turn on the video recording switch and focus on me. Why? I have a scroll that can transform me into a tier-6 strongman. Later, let you see how powerful a tier-6 Sanctuary strongman is in the game, so it will be convenient for you to report to whoever you report to. Snow Leopard: Six Tier-6 strongman? Bro! You have a scroll like this and you didnt use it to kill the boss in the wilderness to get equipment, why use it now? Isnt this a waste? Snow Leopard eximed in his heart. But he couldnt do anything, it wasnt his scroll, Su Yu could use it however he wanted. Snow Leopard sighed lightly.. Chapter 119: 119, Best of the Field – Antondidas 1 Chapter 119: Best of the Field C Antondidas 1 Trantor: 549690339 Two minutes is simultaneously long and short. Three warships rapidly descended downstream, quickly closing in on the Dukes fleet. Within these two minutes, Su Yu leisurely chose three vocations out of seven a mage, a druid, and an assassin. The mage was a must, as among the sixth-tier powerhouses, the mage could output the most and was the most suitable for this situation; The druid was secondary; after unlocking the [Dragon Transformation Skill] at the sixth-tier, the druid could transform into arge dragon, possessing unbelievable strength and the fastest flying speed; The assassin, with its superior ability of escaping, was crucial. Su Yu didnt want to immediately get killed by T Yang and Walnut right after his transformation. As for the randomly chosen vocation provided by the scroll, Su Yu nced at it C it was a priest. After choosing vocations, Su Yu shifted his gaze to the enemy ships in front, ready to break through the defensive line with the immense power granted by the scroll. Of course, Su Yu didnt forget to assign tasks, in order to increase his additional Experience Points ie. The yers received a system reminder immediately: Ding, Nemesis has issued you the mission [Break Through The Front], do you ept? ept. Congrattions on triggering the instance quest [Break Through The Front]. Mission requirement: Assist Nemesis in breaking through the enemy fleets blockade. Mission reward: Experience Points X900, Spiritual Energy Coin X6. The yers epted the mission. However, they were baffled and didnt know how to assist Nemesis. The yers asked in the chat, but no one could provide a satisfying answer. Themander of the Dukes fleet, Jason Glick, was very puzzled. He couldnt understand why the princess fleet had given up initiating the Magic Crystal Cannon and instead charged directly towards their defensive line. Considering their ships were equipped with elemental shields, they would surely not be the match for them given their own shields cover. But he quickly understood why. When there was only a 30-meter distance between the two fleets. Fire Dance Dazzling me Break! A fiery figure flew into the air from one of the princess warships. With a raging firestorm in his hand, he instantly attacked the enemy, mming into the Dukes elemental force field like a drill. Obviously, the figure was Su Yu. Furthermore, he chose the fifth-tier spell [Fire Dance Dazzling me Break], which was the best counter to the magical shields. Crack! Crack! The Dukes ships elemental force fieldsted less than a second before it quickly shattered under the prating damage from the firestorm drill. The leftover me storm continued with unstoppable momentum, and the raging me magic wreaked havoc on the fleet, scattering them in all directions. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the princess fleet swiftly charged past the enemy ships line of defense without any obstruction. Ding, the mission [Break Through The Front] has beenpleted. The yers received a game notice. One after another, yers were dumbfounded. Was the missionpleted just like that? It was like giving out free experience! Some yers recognized the mighty figure who broke through the line of defense, they shouted aloud: Look quickly, its Boss Ke! It was Boss Ke who destroyed the enemy ships blockade with a single strike! It really is Boss Ke! Howe Boss Ke can fly now? And his spells are so powerful! Hehe! Nemesis has finally shown off, isnt this a cheat? Definitely a cheat, flying+instant kill, Ive already recorded it. Err, it isnt actually a cheat. Snow Leopard exined in the chat, Nemesis used a sixth-tier transformation scroll, just keep watching what happens next, dont always talk about cheating. The sudden turn of events was noticed by the big shots in the sky. Morning Star was delighted to see Su Yu exerting his mighty power, his breath, sparkling with starlight, forced Walnut to retreat dozens of meters. T Yang frowned, Why is there another 6th Rank powerhouse? Landilus, whats going on? Before Landilus could respond from the back, Antondidas spoke up first, If Im not mistaken, someone must have used a 6th Rank Experience Scroll. Dont worry, we will proceed ording to the original n. Before Antondidass words could even echo, his figure had already disappeared and instantly appeared on the deck of the ship where the princess was. It was the [sh Skill] again! Moreover, Antondidas [sh Skill] managed to instantly reach positions hundreds of meters away! The power of a Douzong was terrifying! Xi Fan, Morning Star, and Shuhe were taken aback and rushed back in a hurry. But it was already toote. A bright white teleportation circle with nearly hundred meters in diameter spread out over the river, instantly enveloping sixrge ships on the princesss side. Su Yu was taken aback and cast the fourth-tier fire spell [Fire Gun Skill] towards Antondidas. Unfortunately, the [Fire Gun Skill] hit Antondidass shield [Space Barrier], not even stirring a ripple. The giant teleportation circle burst out with a dazzling white light and began to teleport. Without enough time to think further, Su Yu used [sh Skill] to effectively jump out of the teleportation circles range. After shing out, he turned around and found that the six warships and Antondidas had already disappeared from the river, their whereabouts unknown in the white light of teleportation. This Su Yu held the temporary staff gifted by the system, somewhat lost, Is this Antondidas strength? Despite having the same 6th Rank as Antondidas because of the scrolls enhancement, the gap between 6th Rankers seemed to be incredibly significant! Antondidass [Group Teleportation Skill] amazed everyone. The most surprised should be the 10,000 yers recruited by Antondidas through the teleportation gate. These yers, after arriving in Kaishi Town, had been standing idle under Antondidassmand until now. At this moment, arge teleportation light lit up on the empty ground in front of them, and sixrge ships were teleported right in front of them! The yers then realized that this was why the NPCs had recruited them! Because the ships had wide tops and narrow bottoms. So, after the teleportation, the six ships tipped over to the side as they touched the ground. The NPCs and yers on the boat were utterly chaotic. Some sessfully jumped off the ship, some were stuck inside and couldnt get out. The whole scene was a mess. At this point, yers from both the Dukes side and the Princesss side received a game notification: Ding, Congrattions on triggering the side task of the scene battle [Eliminate the Enemy]. Mission Requirement: Eliminate enemy yers. Mission Reward: For each enemy eliminated by the team, 1 Experience Point is awarded. This The yers were surprised; they hadnt expected such a confrontation between yers. An NPC gathered people from both sides in the same area for a massive battle? 10,000 vs 1,000? Its not right, the 1,000 side had help from NPC troops; its still uncertain who would win. After the teleportation, Antondidas instantly flew into the sky, holding a golden badge in his hand. [Senior Equality Badge (Consumable)] Remaining uses: 1 Usage effect: umtes all the [levels] within a radius of 40 meters and then evenly distributes them to all the targets. Duration: 30 minutes. This golden badge was received before this operation, and now he finally understood: Sure enough, I guessed correctly, to deal with adventurers from other realms, one must use adventurers from other realms! Without much thought, Antondidas directly activated the badge and threw it in the middle of the three warships on the princesss side. A golden light wave spread from the badge, directly covering the three warships. The levels of the princesss guards, naval troops, and yers affected by the light wave were divided equally, causing their levels to drop dramatically, stopping at just 18. In the face of the Dukes yers, these level 18 NPCs had lost all their advantages.. Chapter 120: 120, Thank you, Antondidas! _1 Chapter 120: Thank you, Antondidas! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Antondidass [Group Teleportation Skill] has certainly lit the fuse. With the princess being teleported into extreme danger, Xi Fan, Morning Star, and Shuhe had to do something. General Shuhe charged directly towards Antondidas. Xi Fan faced off against T Yang. Morning Star shed with Walnut. As the battle began, T Yang was aze with golden light, dominating like a dazzling sun; Xi Fanpletely vanished into the shadows, engulfing the radiant sun with a ck fog. Anxious, Morning Stars azure Star Force, pouring out like a river of stars, was unstoppable; Walnut calmly made hand signs. By the order of the mighty supreme, suppress the evil spirits with the power of the Five Peaks! Walnuts left index finger hooked around the right middle finger, the right index finger hooked the left middle finger, the two without-name fingers came together, swiftlypleting aplex mountain-form hand print. After forming the hand print, five earth-yellow mountains instantly appeared next to Morning Star. The five mountains formed a mysterious sealing array, pinning Morning Star in ce, unable to move. [Five Peaks Seal]? Morning Star recognized the hand sign. Her dragon eyes shed with confusion: Youre not a Necromancer, but a Taoist? Hehe, correct answer! But theres no reward. Walnut yfully blinked, then turned and gave Antondidas a thumbs up: Old man, well done! Antondidas [Group Teleportation Skill] worked wonders. Now that the princesss fleet was trapped on shore, escape was impossible. Piece of cake. Teleportation spells are my forte. Antondidas, stroking his beard, was quite pleased with himself. He rapidly performed another spell to counter General Shuhes imminent attack. After consecutively releasing severalrge-scale teleportation spells, he had used up much magic power. If he didnt buckle down, he might not be able to uclcau But then, another voice of praise reached Antondidas ears, Old man, well done! Of course! Antondidas was about to boast some more. But then he realized something was wrong. This praising voice did note from his team! When he turned to look, Antondidas saw that the person praising him was not a friend. Was it not that sixth stage Mage who had previously thrown a [Fire Gun Skill] at him? Why is this guy praising me? Has he lost his mind? Antondidas waspletely baffled. Su Yu flew over with a face full of smiles. He was absolutely sincere in his praise for Antondidas! Originally, upon seeing the princess teleported into a dangerous ce, Su Yu was worried. But upon seeing the mission issued by the system to the yers on both sides, he was overjoyed! Each enemy yer killed would award 1 Experience Point, and there were 10,000 enemy yers! If he killed all these yers, he could receive 100 ,ooo Experience Points! All thanks to Antondidas! Looking at Antondidas face, Su Yu found it extremely pleasing to the eye, he even wanted to rush over and nt a couple of smackers on him! After sincerely thanking Antondidas, Su Yu like Comrade He Xiaohu had spotted a cornfield quickly flew towards the cornfield. His eyes were full of joyful anticipation of the harvest. On the ground. Before Su Yus arrival, the yers on both sides had already started arge-scale battle. The Dukes team had arger number of people and they were prepositioned in formation. They seized an overwhelming advantage from the start. The Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, and other leaders hurried to organize yers to fight back. Despite having many level-18 yers and NPC assistance among them, in the face of absolute power, they were consistently being pushed back. Just when the princesss team was in despair, Su Yu arrived! Hello everyone, its Ke Star! Today is June 7th, wishing you all a happy new year in advance! Now, please enjoy the fireworks disy! Su Yus voice, boosted by magic, echoed throughout the battlefield. The Dukes yers had not yet figured out what was happening. [Phoenix me], [Comet Storm], [Earthquake Skill], [Thundering Sky Prison] Aerial attacks rained down from the sky,nding in the most crowded areas of enemy yers, creating bursts of white light. The Dukes yers were packed together, so each one of Su Yus spells killed two to three hundred yers, quickly resulting in thousands of casualties! The yers on the Dukes side were stunned by this sudden attack. How can Nemesis fly?! Why is the range of his spell so big? Its at least a hundred meters in diameter! This is a dimensional attack, isnt it? Its a damn bomber! Thest twoments, please Several yers also attempted to counterattack. But Su Yu was flying at high speed in the sky,pletely out of reach of their arrows and spells. All they could do was take the hits. Under Su Yus powerful attack, the formation of the Dukes yers was scattered, resulting in another two to three thousand casualties. It wasnt long before only half of nearly ten thousand yers from the Dukes side were left. As for the yers on the princess side, they were, of course, greatly encouraged! Wow! This is the first time in my life that I dont mind getting carried. Trust me; people will resist at first. But after the first enjoyable time, they will definitely be thinking about the second Uh, dont look at me like that, I am talking about being carried by a great yer. Haha, feel the fear of being dominated, foolish yers! From now on, Im boss Kes most loyal fan! Go on, Boss Ke, wipe them all out! From the crowd, the Sky Dragon, a little girl, watched Su Yu in the sky with envy. After a while, she turned to Swift and suggested: Miss Swift, why dont you go after the guild leader? Huh! Why me? Swift was taken aback and appeared a little flustered. Because Im only 14! Sky Dragon joked, My dad says I can start dating when I am an adult. You date him first so other bad women dont seduce him, and then give him to me in four years, what do you think about sharing a boyfriend? Swift: The screen shifted back to the battle in the sky. At this point, Antondidas looked serious. His original n was perfect: to y one off against the other, for the purpose of capturing the princess. But with the unforeseen intervention of Su Yu, the tide of battle was quickly turning against them. If this continued for much longer, the thousands of adventurers would be ughtered by Su Yu, resulting in their ns beingpletely ruined. So, Antondidas quickly told Duke Landilus: Its your turn, Duke. Stop that mage quickly! No problem! Landilus had noticed Su Yu early on, and even if Antondidas hadnt spoken, he would have acted. The Dukeunched an ultra-long-distance [Charge] towards Su Yu from afar. But Su Yu paid no attention to Landilus. Why would he bother? The duke didnt even offer any experience points! Seeing Landilus charge from a distance, Su Yu shifted his form, turned into an [Assassin] job ss, and started a killing spree in the yer dense area. [Knife Fan], [de Storm], [Scarlet Storm] Transforming into a bloody butterfly, Su Yu fluttered around in the area crowded with yers. Everywhere he went, patches of white light arose. The mage-version of Su Yu had already killed over three thousand yers, and now more than ever, he cut through them like a harvesting machine, leaving only piles of corpses scattered on the ground. The number of yers on the Dukes side dropped sharply again. In just a few tens of seconds, another thousand yers had fallen under Su Yus de.. Chapter 121: 121, [Rebirth Mark] _1 Chapter 121: [Rebirth Mark] _1 Trantor: 549690339 Duke Landilus followed behind, applying various skills in an attempt to intercept Su Yu. However, for a cumbersome warrior, the idea of catching up with a nimble rogue was nothing short of a fantasy. The assassins [Shadow Step] ability allows him to instantly teleport behind any target within 40 meters. Additionally, after the 6th tier, [Shadow Step] almost nas no cooldown time. Using this skill, Su Yu wove through the crowd of yers, cutting down his enemies. The only thing the Duke could do was eating his dust. Of course, Landilus wasnt a fool. After chasing for a dozen seconds and realizing he couldnt catch up, he stopped pursuing. Suddenly, it dawned on him, Why am I chasing this adventurer from another world? My purpose here is to capture Princess Alyssa. Why not just grab Alyssa? Why am Ipeting with this outsider? Landilus realized he had been misled by Antondidas. Could it be that Antondidas was a traitor sent by the enemy? However, he didnt think much about it, instead he took off from the spot and flew in the direction of Princess Alyssa. Now it was Su Yus turn to feel the pressure. There was no one particrly strong near the princess who could hold off Landilus. If the Princess was captured, the battle would be lost! So, Su Yu quickly abandoned the idea of collecting experience points. He used [Shadow Step] to instantly teleport behind Landilus, pulling out a thick wooden club and swinging it at the back of his head. This is a signature skill of the rogue ss[Concussion Blow], which can cause the enemy to be stunned for an extended period of time. But at that moment. Hey! Landilus roared, and a strong blood-red light burst forth from his body, and a new buff appeared on him. [Unstoppable (Legend)]: Immune to all crowd control effects for one minute, countdown 00:59. Su Yus [Concussion Blow] hit Landilus in the back of the head, but it didnt have any control effect on him. Landilus counterattacked with a [Sword Draw sh]. The pale de of his sword cut across Su Yus abdomen, causing a profuse amount of blood to spill. His health points dropped by two-thirds instantly. Fortunately, Su Yu was able to use [Shadow Step] in time to escape with his gravely injured body, avoiding a lethal blow. Humph! Landilus red coldly at Su Yu. He did not pursue further, and instead continued to fly straight towards Princess Alyssa. Princess Alyssa stood next to the fallen battle airship, her face deathly pale. All her generals were held back by the enemy, and Landilus was closing in on her. She waspletely cornered. She couldnt help but recall Nemesiss words, he had once said that she would be the ultimate victor. What a liar, the princess closed her eyes in despair. But just then, a figure in ck armor, bloodstained in the abdomen, suddenly appeared behind her. Its Nemesis! The princess saw a flicker of hope in her desperate situation. Nemesis, are you okay? The princess quickly turned around to help Su Yu. But Su Yu pushed her hand away, managing a weak smile: Your Highness, stand behind me, Ill protect you. Ding, Princess Alyssas favorability for you increases by 3, favorability level has increased to Note. Ding, congrattions on gaining 5 World Prestige points. Su Yu ignored these game prompts, now was not the time to care about these things. He quickly changed his equipment. Under the power of the scroll, Su Yu transformed into a priest dressed in a pure white robe and holding a golden staff. [Desperate Prayer]! [Mind Control]! After Su Yu transformed, he immediately used the Priests ultimate instant healing skill [Desperate Prayer] to restore his health to full. Then he raised his staff, and let loose the Priests signature skill [Mind Control], aiming directly at Landilus who was less than thirty meters away from Alyssa. The priests [Mind Control] skill isnt purely a control skill. It can directly invade and manipte the enemys thoughts. This doesnt fall into the scope of control effects, so Landiluss [Unstoppable] cannot provide immunity. Under Su Yus continuous casting, Landiluss figure gradually came to a halt. His thoughts got invaded, causing severe pain in his brain and his muscles started disobeying orders. Helpless, he could only close his eyes and try to shake off the invasion of Su Yus consciousness. Landiluss level was 77, and Su Yus level was 75 after transformation. Therefore, Su Yu couldnt invade Landiluss consciousness for long. His spell would lose its effect after at most 10 seconds. Helpless, Su Yu could only shout at Cat Morning Star in the star realm in the sky, Morning Star, hurry up and help! I cant hold on much longer! General Shuhe, the rugged warrior, was of no help; Xi Fan had fully merged into the shadows, to the point where even her silhouette was no longer visible; So Su Yu could only hope for assistance from Morning Star, to help the princess escape her predicament. Fortunately, there was an immediate response from Morning Star. Roar! Amidst a crisp dragon roar, a dazzling starlight seemingly teleported beside Princess Alyssa. Morning Star carried the princess on her back, quickly flying towards the horizon. This was Morning Starsst resort escape skill[Star Realm Transition], which could teleport to the princesss side and help her escape. Morning Star had been waiting for the moment to use this skill, and now it was finally the do-or-die time. The starlight transformed by Morning Star had flown several kilometers away with the princess in a blink of an eye. But Walnut, who had been fighting with Morning Star all this time, was no pushover. Order of Yin and Yang, fluctuating fate, let this butterfly fire guide thy path. Walnut quickly formed seals with both hands. After forming the seals, a hazy fog flew from her fingertips, shing towards Morning Stars body and directly drilling in. [Rebirth Mark]?! Damn it! Upon hearing Walnuts spell, Morning Star knew that it was the ultimate subsequent move of the Taoist profession [Rebirth Mark]. She had no grudge with Walnut, so why did Walnut want to kill her? [Rebirth Mark]?! Hearing Morning Stars voice, Su Yu was also taken aback. [Rebirth Mark], Su Yu had heard about this in his previous life. Only a handful of top Taoist NPCs possess this spell. When used on a yer, it can directly zero out their level, empty their backpack, and turn them into a neer status. Everything starts all over again, hence termed as Rebirth. The effect on NPCs isnt clear, but the punishment certainly wont be light. After releasing the [Rebirth Mark], Walnuts exhaustion was severe. She couldnt even maintain her flying state. Instead, shended on the ground, panting heavily. Her strength plummeted greatly, dropping from seventh order directly to fifth order, with only a fraction of her overall strength left. Things were even worse on Morning Stars side. The [Rebirth Mark] took effect quickly, exploding inside Morning Stars body after two breaths. Morning Stars huge body swayed violently in the air. She began to lose strength to hold onto the Dragon Form, let alone flying in the sky. After another dozen seconds, her Dragon Form vanished. Morning Star reverted to her small white and blue cat form, and fainted, falling from the sky.. Chapter 122: 122, (Death-defying Escape) Scene Battle Ends 1 Chapter 122: (Death-defying Escape) Scene Battle Ends 1 Trantor: 549690339 Master Walnut, what are you Duke Landilus could hardly believe his own eyes. He had invited Walnut over just to restrain Morning Star, nothing more. But now, Walnut had actually unleashed her ultimate move[Rebirth Mark]! The effect of [Rebirth Mark] was tremendously powerful. This strike was enough to bring the Starlight Cat Morning Star back to its kitten state, and it wasnt even impossible to revert it to its unborn [Starlight Cat Egg] state. But the cost of this move was exorbitant. Firstly, Walnut had to spend at least 10 years collecting spell materials, which were expensive enough to bankrupt a seventh-order legendary powerhouse; Secondly, Walnut also needed materials from the Starlight Cat tribe as spell mediums, such as the nails and fur shed by the Starlight Cats; Finally, Walnut had to sacrifice 99% of her own power to sessfully cast the [Rebirth Mark]. This teetered her strength directly from the seventh order down to the fifth, a self-destructive move! Why would Walnut do such a thing? In the sky, Antondidas, Shuhe, T Yang, and Xi Fan all simultaneously ceased their actions, looking at Walnut in shock. Yet Walnuts face waspletely calm. She gently smiled and waved at everyone. Hehe, I wont say much about the reason! Hopefully, we meet again another day! After speaking, Walnut cast [Earth Escape Skill] and burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight. The big shots looked at each other C unsure of what to say. Su Yu had a faint guess regarding Walnuts undertaking. It was likely rted to the eighth expansion, Star Realm War. But Su Yu had died in the seventh expansion Void Invasion in his previous life, and hed only seen some spective materials on the plot of the eighth expansion. He wasnt sure if hed guessed correctly. Nevertheless, this was not the time to ponder these things. Morning Star was currently falling from a height of over 400 meters, and along with it was Princess Alyssa on its back. Su Yu didnt know whether Morning Star would turn into a catcake upon falling from such a height, but Alyssa would definitely be Alyssa Sauce. So, Su Yu quickly switched to the [Druid] profession and activated the sixth-order spell [Dragon Transformation Skill], transforming into a blue and white Storm Giant Dragon. The Storm Giant Dragon was the fastest flying dragon. Su Yu spread his wings and rushed towards the falling point of Morning Star and the princess. Duke Landilus and Antondidas saw Su Yus actions and wouldnt just stand by. Landilus used [Charge], directly rushing towards Su Yu. [Space Restraint]! Antondidas started brewing his control spell, aiming directly at Su Yu. Theyre such a handful! Su Yuined. However, hed also prepared solutions. Su Yu quickly switched to the [Assassin] profession and released the [Misfortune Transfer] skill. [Misfortune Transfer] could make the casters spell deviate, deviating to a designated target. Under the work of [Misfortune Transfer], Antondidass [Space Restraint] deviated. The silver light of restraint flew out of his hand, but directly surrounded Duke Landilus who was already close to Su Yu, trapping Landilus firmly in mid-air. Goodbye, everyone! Su Yu smiled and turned back into the Storm Giant Dragon, flying towards the princess and Morning Star. This time, Landilus was restrained while Antondidas was once again upied by Shuhe, no one could stop Su Yu. Su Yu hurriedly reached thending spot of Alyssa and Morning Star, used the [Rising Cloud] spell to slow down the falling force, and gently caught them with hisrge dragon back. Of course, before catching Alyssa and Morning Star, Su Yu promptly turned off the first-person perspective. After all, this was making physical contact with the princess and Morning Star, he couldnt let the LSPs amongst the yers have the experience. Princess Alyssa was sitting on Su Yus back, still somewhat shaken. However, upon realizing that it was Su Yu who had saved her, immense gratitude welled up in her heart. Nemesis, thank you for saving me. The Princess was extremely grateful. Ding, [Princess Alyssa]s favorability towards you +10, favorability level increased to friendly. Ding, you have gained 10 points of World Prestige. Its what I should do, Your Highness, Su Yu turned his head to look at the princess. But now you have to hold on tight. Im going to take you and Morning Star out of here. Okay. Alyssa looked sympathetically at the unconscious and seriously wounded Morning Star in her arms, almost shedding tears. However, she quickly sat up and gripped the scales on Su Yus neck. Su Yu did not hesitate to use magic to attach Alyssa to his back and then flew away at the fastest speed. Before long, they had left the battlefield. Ding! Congrattions onpleting the scenario campaign [Desperate Escape], evaluating the campaign rating The rating of this scenario campaign is SSS. Rating rewards: All Experience Points, spiritual energy coins obtained in the whole campaign +50%, reward a randomly blue rare quality equipment and a green excellent quality equipment ording to the yers level and profession.

This campaign seemed to have nothing to do with them, it was entirelypleted by Boss Ke using a [Sixth Rank Temporary Experience Scroll]. However, riding on Boss Kes coattails was truly exhrating!

Snow Leopard watched the excited cheering yers around him, also with a face of emotion: Its no wonder Elder Zhang, truly following his lead in the game is the right path! Snow Leopard was not a weakling in his life, but when facing Elder Zhang, who had lived for thousands of years, he felt a little frustrated. How do you think Elder Zhang is so good at ying games? The yer next to him, who believed in the principle of range is truth, asked, Usually, these old cough cough, these elders, shouldnt they be seriously conservative? Who knows? Snow Leopard looked in the direction where Su Yu had disappeared, Maybe this is what they call In chaotic times, heroes emerge! Chapter 123: 123, The first stage of the princess line ends, rising four levels! _1 Chapter 123: The first stage of the princess line ends, rising four levels! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu flew towards Goldfinch City, carrying the princess and the unconscious Morningstar. Morningstars condition was extremely poor. Her entire body was encased in ayer of bluish crystal, making it impossible to see her condition. Su Yu tried to heal her with his Druid spells, such as [Touch of Nature] and [Spring Returning Skill], but they were practically ineffective. After leaving the boundaries of Kaishi Town, Su Yu received a series of game prompts. In addition to thepletion of the quest, there were two prompts rted to the main plot: Ding, main plot [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire] quest sequence 20-25pleted. Reward: Experience Points X10,ooo, [Sixth Order Temporary Experience Scroll (ordinary)] X1, to be collected from Princess Alyssa. What Quest 20-25 are alreadypleted? Su Yu was shocked. However, he quickly understood. Originally, the 20th quest of the princess line involved a mandatory loss in a scenario where the princess would be taken by Duke Landilus. The subsequent quest sequence from 21-25 would revolve around the princess escape from Landilus. But now, Su Yu used the experience scroll to forcefully pass the scenario, rendering the quests 21-25 non-existent. So the task skipped the plot involving the princess falling into Landiluss clutches and jumped straight to the end of quest 25. But thats fine, saves us some time, Su Yu nodded in agreement. Yet the truth was, Su Yu only vaguely knew about this version of the main plot and didnt have much insight into the details. After all, when Su Yu entered the game in his previous life, it was already at the end of the third expansion Pandaren Empire. Who would have the interest to delve into the plots of the previous versions! Su Yu put all the plot details aside for the moment and turned his attention to the princess during his flight. Your Highness, will Morningstar be able to recover? he asked. Im not really sure, the princess replied with a sad shake of her head. But once were back in Goldfinch City, Ill ask Great Druid Shandis Yuyue to treat her. If even the Great Druid cant cure her, well have no choice but to send her back to the Star Realm. I hope Morningstar will recover soon! Su Yu sighed. As for Walnuts side, once Im powerful enough, Ill find a way to avenge Morningstar. Alright, thank you. I will let you know of any progress on Morningstars condition immediately, the princess promised. The princess smoothed back her hair, her face was full of exhaustion. With Morningstar now incapacitated, the only legendary power she could rely on was Xi Fan. But even a fool would know not to put full trust in Xi Fan. The road ahead was undoubtedly fraught with difficulties. Princess Alyssaid exhaustedly on the dragons back, her petite face rubbing against the hard dragon scales, and she slowly fell asleep. After safely escorting the princess back to the Royal Pce of Goldfinch City, Su Yu waited in the great hall where the princess usually carried out her discussions. One hourter, a somewhat haggard Princess Alyssa arrived in the great hall. She murmured to a guard to bring Su Yu a brand-new magic scroll. [Sixth Order Temporary Experience Scroll (ordinary)] Remaining uses: 1 Instruction: Input magical power to the scroll and maintain for 5 minutes. Effect: Grants you the strength of a level 75 Sixth Order warrior for one hour, job ss is random. Note: Remaining use time773 days. Upon receiving the scroll, Su Yu sighed with relief. Once he uses [Tinas Blood] gildingter, he would have a lifeline offline! Having received his scroll, Su Yu also gained 10,000 Experience Points as a quest reward, pushing his level to 22 with 3% experience. Thank you, Your Highness, for your reward! Su Yu expressed his courtesy. Its what you deserve, the princess said. By the way, Nemesis. Once Master Xi Fan and General Shuhe return, I n to leave Goldfinch City with my troops to join my father in Forest City. Ill bring you along to meet my father. I hope he likes you. Just as the princess finished her sentence, Su Yu received another game prompt: Ding, the main plot [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire] first phase has beenpleted. The next phase will begin on June 15th. Please look forward to it! Not until June 15th? Su Yu was taken aback. Originally, he thought the main plot could bepleted continuously. But evidently, this wasnt the case. Today was June 8th, which was seven days away from the next avable plot stage. But that wasnt a problem, Su Yu could work on Tinas main quest over this week. With his World Prestige as high as 23 points, he could even begin purchasing territory and start construction! Very well, your highness. I look forward to our next encounter! Su Yu replied. Then farewell, Nemesis. I hope that you grow quickly as we will certainly have a brighter future ahead of us! Goodbye, Princess. After bidding farewell to the princess, Su Yu walked out of the Goldfinch Royal Pce. After enduring an intense scenario battle, he felt a little mentally exhausted and wanted to log out to rest. But he couldnt. The other yers were still waiting for him to finish his quest! Even if he wanted to log out, he would have to wait until the yers hadpleted their quests. At the pce gate, seeing Su Yuing out, the yers who had been waiting for a long time immediately swarmed to him. Hey, Boss Ke, youre finally out! Ive been waiting for so long! Haha, Im going to make it to the levels leaderboard afterpleting this task! I wont make the leaderboard, but Im really looking forward to that blue outfit! Please, give me a level 13 weapon! Everyone gathered around Su Yu, talking all together. Seeing everyones excitement, Su Yu of course wouldnt dampen their spirits. He opened up the task agency panel, a golden question mark appeared above his head. At the same time, he said: Everyone, no pushing, go in order! Anyone who pushes will not be included next time! Sure thing, Boss Ke! , The yers immediately surrounded Su Yu toplete their quests. Ding! yer Water is Too Clear, There are No Fish haspleted the task. You gain 209 experience points and lose 33 Spiritual Energy Coins. Ding! yer The Undeniable Power of Being Despicable haspleted the task. You gain 209 experience points and lose 33 Spiritual Energy Coins. Ding! yer Being Poor, Mind Your Own Business haspleted the task. You gain 209 experience points and lose 33 Spiritual Energy Coins. Ding! yer Being Wealthy, Wives and Concubines Group haspleted the task After thepletion of their tasks, the golden glow of leveling up shone on every yer, raising their levels by one! Apart from the joy of leveling up, surprised screams were also mixed in: Haha, I was given a blue equipment reward and its a weapon! Im rich now! Me too, a weapon! I dont have to worry about the level 10 side quest anymore! Wow! Mines a shoulder guard. I got a belt! But I already have a pretty good belt, ah, the world is so unfair! Throughout the process of the yerspleting their tasks, Su Yus experience points skyrocketed! Prior to this, his level was at 22 with 3% experience, leveling from 22 to 23 required 36,000 Experience Points, from 23 to 24 required 39,000 Experience Points and so on. Once all yers hadpleted their tasks, Su Yus level was directly boosted by 4 C reaching level 26 with 97% experience! He was not too far from level 27! Chapter 124: 124, Do you want to touch any other places? 1 Chapter 124: Do you want to touch any other ces? 1 Trantor: 549690339 After leveling up to 26, Su Yus attribute panel became: Character: [Nemesis] Level: IV26 Profession: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 52, Agility: 52, Intelligence: 173, Constitution: 52, Luck: 10 Spell Strength: 264 Life Points: 550 Mana Points: 2560 Defense: 119 Spell Critical Rate: 5% Movement Speed: 5.8 Experience Points: 46081/48000 Wealth: 7377942528 spiritual energy coins Equipment: [Andahils Staff IV21 (Legendary)], [Slope Sheeps Leather Cap Iv4 (Rare)][Tear of the Goddess (Epic)] Skills: [Magic Missile (Legendary)], [Star Pointer (Legendary)][Strike of Lightning (Legendary)]. Looking at his attribute panel, Su Yu nodded with satisfaction. However, it was time for him to upgrade his gear. He was still wearing low-level dual speed equipment with low defense and no life value addition. If hit by a monster of the same level, he would undoubtedly instantly die. It was time to get some high-level equipment to bolster his defense and life points, to increase his games fault tolerance. Furthermore, he needed to prioritize territory building. He was on the verge of reaching level 27. The level cap in the first expansion, Golden Sparrow Empire, was level 29. After reaching level 29, questing and grinding wild monsters wouldnt yield experience anymore. Even the sunlight from the territorial crop, Sunflower, wouldnt provide any experience points. By then, if he wanted experience points, there were only two methods apart from waiting for the new expansion: The first method was to return to reality, kill the monsters created by the Skuru people, or absorb the spiritual energy from the Spiritual Spring Eye in reality; The second method was to upgrade his territory to a [City] level, build a [Mage Tower], and use a Mana Pool to refine monster materials. The [Mage Tower] is the only way to break the version limit and gain experience. Thats settled then, after the yers finish their quests, I will set out to purchase a territory. Su Yu decided. As for the location of the territory, Su Yu had contemted for a long time. Eventually, he decided to establish his territory in Orleans City. Orleans City is the core city of the first and second expansions. Building a territory there, Su Yu could utilize abundant yer resources and NPCmercial resources to maximize his profits. Besides, Orleans City is close to Tina, so I can often invite Tina to visit Su Yus train of thought started to drift off. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, Sky Dragon, and Swift, the three members of his guild, turned in their quests as well. After turning in their quests, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated reached level 15 and continued to hold second ce on the level leaderboard. His position was unshakeable; Sky Dragons level reached 14 and 97% of the way to 15, climbing up to fifth ce on the leaderboard; Swift appeared number sixteen on the leaderboard; Looking at their names on the leaderboard, Sky Dragon grinned with delight. Just as I thought! Joining Brother Nemesiss guild was the wisest choice, far better than that so-called gaming pro, Uncle Zhen Hong! Seeing there was a spot next to Su Yu, Sky Dragon walked over, gently grabbing his arm and asked, Mr. Chairman, when will we escort Uncle A Thousand Cups to do the hidden quest? After making progress on her level, Sky Dragon shifted her focus to a panda pet. Even if she were rich in reality, it would be impossible to keep a panda as a pet. So, she could only enjoy having one in the game. Well in an hour. Its noon now, I will go offline to eat lunch. When I am back online, we will escort A Thousand Cups to do his quest. Su Yu thought for a bit before responding. At that moment, Shooting is the truth, standing not too far away, came over with a surprised look, Senior, you actually need to eat? Isnt breathing in and absorbing immortal qi enough? Su Yu sternly responded, Why cant I eat? Where are you getting your stereotypes? Shooting is the truth thought for a bit and decided he hadnt seen any real immortals either, so he kept quiet. Sky Dragon sweetly smiled and waved to Su Yu, Okay then! See youter Chairperson! Sister Swift and I will bepleting our quests. Contact us if you need us! Hold on. However, Su Yu stopped her: Sky Dragon, are you interested in territory construction!? Territory construction? Is there such a feature in the game? Sky Dragon turned back. Of course there is! yers with 10 world prestige points can exchange for a vige-level territory. Right now, I am able to exchange for a territory and I n to use the exchanged territory as our guilds territory Since all three guild members were present, Su Yu took some time to exin in detail about territory construction and how to attain world prestige points. He didnt avoid any subjects; Shooting is the truth, and other yers from variousrge guilds, all heard Su Yus introduction about the rted content. After listening to Su Yus introduction, many yers fromrge guilds had shining eyes. Having a territory for the guild could drastically improve guild cohesion! Moreover, through territory construction, guild members could also get quite a sense of game achievement. And what is the purpose of ying games? Isnt it for the sense of aplishment? Sky Dragons eyes lit up, Constructing a territory? Im very interested! Sky Dragon previously enjoyed building and development games on mobile, like Cartoon Farm and sh of ns and such. She didnt expect she could y rted content in Evolution! Not to mention considering the freedom offered in the game Evolution, constructing a territory would definitely not be as inflexible as in mobile games; theres bound to be even more fun! Chairperson, remember to notify me once you are online. Ill go to Orleans City with you. I will make our guilds territory thergest and most beautiful in the entire game! Sky Dragon brimmed with confidence. Worst case scenario, she would just spend a couple of months worth of pocket money. She did not mind this small amount in the least. Ok, lets go to Orleans City together. Su Yu squatted down and patted Sky Dragons head with a smile. At this moment, Sky Dragon received a system notification: Ding, the yer Nemesis has sexually harassed you uwfully. ording to the severity of the situation, would you like to drop [Divine Thunder IVI], to instantly kill the yer Nemesis and penalize him by disallowed logging into the game for an hour, reducing his game time by an hour? This was an anti-harassment protection mechanism set up by the game. Su Yu just patted Sky Dragons head, so the punishment was [Divine Thunder IVI] the lightest punishment. If it were some other sensitive parts it would justify the punishment of [Divine Thunder Iv5], making the yer banned from the game for life. Sky Dragon chose no. However, she moved her t-like-a-tablet body closer to Su Yu, Mr. Chairman, do you want to touch other ces? Su Yu:??? Chapter 125: 125. First-person experience videos spark a discussion frenzy_l Chapter 125: 125. First-person experience videos spark a discussion frenzy_l Trantor: 549690339 After all the yers had turned in their assignments, Su Yu logged off to eat. During Su Yus meal time, all the major guild chat channels and the official offline forums were having a fierce debate about this scenario campaign, the heat of the discussion was far higher thanst time! Last time, only 1,000 yers joined the campaign, but this time there were a total of 11,000, causing a muchrger impact! And this time the experience reward was triple that of thest, and every yer on the princesss side who participated in the campaign leveled up once. The ranking list had been totally reshuffled. The Shepherd in the Clouds, who was previously ranked fourth, dropped out of the top 100, which caused a great stir both inside and outside the game. The official forum homepage was full of posts discussing this campaign. The following discussion appeared under one of the posts: As expected of Boss Ke, each move he makes stirs up a storm, just like a true powerhouse should! I guess Shepherd in the Clouds must be the most miserable one, right? He was originally fourth on the level ranking but now hes done for. I am the Shepherd in the Clouds. I passed out from crying in the bathroom. From now on, I will keep the same schedule as Boss Ke! I was a yer on the Dukes side during the campaign. Boss Kes AOE killed me right at the start of the campaign, it was really brutal! Wait, is no one noticing that Nemesis is cheating? I watched the video of the battle posted by a yer, there was flying around and wide range instant kills, if this isnt cheating I dont know what is. Its not a cheat. ording to the president of Snow Leopard, Boss Ke used a sixth-rank transformation scroll. Really? Didnt he use the Transformation Scroll as a cover to hide the fact that he cheated? Stop discussing it here, Boss Ke posted a reply! What? Boss Ke posted something?! Damn, Im going to check it out right now! While Su Yu was waiting for his takeaway, he uploaded the first-person video to the official website. At the same time, he posted on the official forum, briefly describing the process of acquiring the scroll and telling everyone: The first-person video after the transformation has been uploaded, everyone is wee to go and experience it! The forum was totally blown away! Who would have thought that Boss Ke had recorded a first-person experience video! Having the opportunity to experience the power of a sixth-rank yer in the game, it was absolutely the most indulgent luxury, how could yers possibly miss it? So the yers flocked to the official websites video section. Su Yus video viewership rose from o to over 3,000 within 5 minutes, and this number was still skyrocketing. Su Yu priced this video at 6.48 Flower Coins? Many yers were taken aback when they saw this number, because the number 648 emm, was indeed quite sensitive. However, most yers willingly paid up for the experience. Upon entering the video, yers found themselves embodied in Su Yus main perspective. The wide river channel, the warship breaking through the waves, sweaty sailors busy working, the sails fluttering with the wind, enemy warships with multi-colored magic shields All these scenes gave a feeling as if they were in the opening of a blockbuster movie! Next, Su Yu took out the scroll and even showed off the scrolls name and attributes to everyone. The yers who suspected him of cheating immediately fell quiet, because this item really did exist in the game. Su Yu held the scroll in his hand and activated it. And when he was just 30 meters away from the enemy ship, the scroll got activated sessfully! Su Yu flew off the bow of the ship like a bird, quickly charging towards the enemy ship. [Fire Dance Dazzling me Break]! The fiery magic power in his hand surged out like a raging wave, shattering the multitude of elemental shields. The enemy fleet, seemingly indestructible, was shattered with just one strike, leaving the soldiers at the bow turned to ash. This is the might of a Sixth Rank powerhouse! This is too darn exhrating! The yers experiencing the game through the video excitely shouted in their hearts, their blood pressure rising. The first-person video provides a unique viewing experience, especially the sensation of flying in midair as a high-ranking powerhouse, obliterating enemies in a snap of fingers, really gets the blood pumping! But the real thrill is yet toe. Su Yu arrived at the main battlefield and greeted the Dukes team yers for the New Year. Then, he transformed into a bomber, darting through the sky rapidly. One by one, high-ranking area spells were thrown from his hands, exploding and causing the yers below to howl in fear, but they could do nothing against him. When Duke Landilus charged over, Su Yu evaded the Duke and became the scythe in the hands of the Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of the Dukes yers like a whirlwind. [Shadow Step] was released continuously, the perspective switched rapidly, Su Yus micro-movements, battle details were so fast and thrilling that yers could barely keep up! Afterward, Su Yu fought bravely against NPCs. yers were breaking into a sweat when Duke Landilus was closing in on the princess, when Antondidas cast [Space Restraint] at him, and when the princess and Morning Star fell from the sky. Later, Su Yu used [Rising Cloud] to slow down the princesss descent, and was about to catch the falling princess Alyssa on the broad back of his dragon. At that moment, the LSP yers suddenly got excited! The first-person experience video allows yers using helmet to experience the total touch sensation of the yer who released the video. If it werent for the strict ban on explicit content by the games ambassador, this video section might have be an 18+ Paradise by now. Seeing the princess getting closer and closer to the dragons back, how could the yers not be ecstatic? But just when the yers were extremely excited, the video suddenly stopped. Its over? Howe its suddenly over?! The yers one by one pulled out of the experience mode, their expressions resembling that of constipation. For goodness sake, Maggi, we arent short on time! Why couldnt you just record a little more? Even 10 more seconds would do! As yers experienced the first-person video one by one, a historic discussion craze swept over the forum! Post after post, all discussing Su Yus first-person video. Even other topics were quickly drowned and forgotten in a corner. Opinions in the discussion were divided between raves and rants. Obviously, the raves were for thebat scenes in the first half of the video tense, exciting, grandiose almost every other positive descriptor could be applied. It was even better than watching a 3D movie! As for the rants, of course, they were all scolding Su Yu for being unkind. Who wouldnt want to experience being ridden by the princess? Su Yu cruelly cut it off at the most critical moment, too despicable! A yer made a post in the forum saying 6.48 flower coins is too pricey, everyone else sells for 1 cent. This yer was immediately med hundreds of floors down. yers all replied below: As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Go and watch it, its worth the 6.48 flower coins! Even five times the price would still feel like a steal! Is it pricey? I watched it three times in a row, its super cool! Dont remind the OP, hell watch it sooner orter. The explosive discussion gradually spread from the forum to other tforms, Nemesis once again caught fire on various major tforms! Under Xue Wenlis microscopic operation, the topic of Nemesiss first-person perspective was once again parachuted to the top of the trending list of social media tforms. Many people outside the gaming circle came to watch this first-person video because of its fame. After experiencing the super powerful ability of a Sixth Rank powerhouse to fly in the sky and run on the ground, many people couldnt resist the excitement and clicked the Buy Now button on the official website of Evolution.. Chapter 126: 126, Howling Moon Wolf Pet, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated Warrior Class Change Task_l Chapter 126: Howling Moon Wolf Pet, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated Warrior ss Change Task_l Trantor: 549690339 As Su Yu ate, he browsed through the feedback on the official forum. He cherished every positive review from the yers, but naturally ignored theints from the LSPs. He chose not to upload any footage of the princess riding on him. Even if he had, he wouldnt have released it. After lunch, his video had yet to trend, but its views had already exceeded 50,000! Within 40 minutes, the video earned Su Yu nearly 230,000 Flower Coins! He was unsure of the remaining ie, but he estimated it could reach a million! With the money I will receive, I can afford to upgrade my living conditions. The rental is too small, Su Yu thought as he strapped on his helmet and logged in. As soon as he logged in, two messages flickered in the guild channel. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Chief, should we set out now? Sky Dragon: Chief, I have already reached the teleportation circle at Goldfinch City! Su Yu: Uh, dont you guys eat? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: I already got offline and ate at half past eleven. Sky Dragon: Im on a diet with Miss Swift, girls cant be too heavy. Well, girls cant be too skinny either! You would look skeletal if you lost any more weight, Su Yu retorted before continuing, Im going to fetch the hatched pets from the Pet House. Well meet at the teleporter in Orleans City. Understood, Chief. Sure, Chief. The epic [Howling Moon Wolf Egg] has been sitting hatched in the [Incubation Room] for days. However, since Su Yu hadnt returned to Goldfinch City yet, he couldnt collect it. Now that he has the chance, he might as well retrieve it! He wasnt sure when he woulde back to Goldfinch City again. Five minutester, Su Yu arrived at the [Incubation Room]. After a conversation, the owner handed him the hatched Howling Moon Wolf. [Howling Moon Wolf LV26] Quality: Epic Health: 4125 Attack: 83 Skills: [Ferocious Bite (Normal)], [Leap (Excellent)], [Wild Fury (Rare)], [Moonlineage (Epic)] [Wild Fury]: The Howling Moon Wolf unleashes its wild side, increasing attack power and speed by 30% for 8 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute. [Moonlineage(Passive)]: Gains a 50% boost to all attributes when fighting under the moonlight. ording to the game settings of Evolution, a pets level always remains consistent with its masters. The Howling Moon Wolf being of epic quality and having absorbed an elerating incubation potion gives it double the base attributes of a wild pet of the same level! Considering the Howling Moon Wolfs abilities, it was ratherpetent. It could assist Su Yu in attracting monsters and managing their aggression in the future. You appear white all over, and youre as big as a calf. From now on, you will be called Big White, Su Yu caressed the snowy back of the Howling Moon Wolf, which was half his height. The Howling Moon Wolf,cking in intelligence, couldnt understand humannguage and just howled in return. Su Yu took out three pieces of [Wild Boar Meat LV13] and a bottle of [Clear Spring Water Lvo] from his bag to feed Big White. Once Big White was satiated, Su Yu summoned Dima and proceeded towards the transport circle. Lets go, Big White! Su Yu beckoned. Howl! Big White strode forth, following gantly behind Dimas hoof prints. Half an hourter, at Moon Creek Street by the sea in the Falling Moon Town of Orleans City. Blood Crow Tavern. Squeak- The heavy oak door of the tavern was pushed open. A burly assassin yer walked in, with an open-mouthed brew jug on his back. By a wooden table in the tavern, a corpulent Pandaman with a ck beard was dozing off. Needless to say, the assassin who came in was A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated. He found the tavern, holding the liquor that triggers the task, as Su Yu had directed him. What can I get for you, sir? a tavern attendant graciously weed him. Heat up two bowls of sake, and get me a te of fennel beans. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated dismissively ordered the attendant. He arrived at the Pandamans side and ced the jug near the Pandamans nose. The Pandamans nose twitched at the aroma of the fine liquor, pulling him out of his slumber. Ugh-ahh- The Pandaman yawned, opened his eyes and rubbed his nose: I seem to smell the Dew Wine adventurer, what can I do for you? Greetings, Chen Master of Stormy Liquor, I am here to pay you a visit. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated bowed respectfully towards the Pandaman and set the [Dew Wine] down in front of him. Tell me, what brings you here? The aroma of the Dew Wine whetted Chen Master of Stormy Liquors appetite; he was already salivating. Its been a long time since he roamed the world and tasted a liquor of this caliber! I came to inquire about the method of abandoning my life in the shadows and bing a martial artist. Oh, so you want to be a martial artist? Indeed, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated nodded, Ive hidden in the darkness for too long and had even forgotten why I live For the days toe, I want to stand in the light and confront my enemies directly! Hmm, good! Old Chen nodded, his expression a mixture of amusement and seriousness: However, my profession is a monk, I might not be of help Thump! Another jug of [Dew Wine] was taken out from the bag and ced on the table before Old Chen. Well, even though I like [Dew Wine], but Thump! Listen here, adventurer Thump, thump, thump, thump! Each time Old Chen tried to refuse, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated would produce a jug of wine and put it on the table. It didnt stop until he had taken out ten jugs of wine, filling the table. Looking at the table full of [Dew Wine], A Thousand Cups Unintoxicateds heart ached. Each jug of Dew Wine cost 1000 spiritual energy coins. Ten jugs equate to ten thousand spiritual energy coins, which is over thirty thousand Flower Coins! If it wasnt for the Chiefs willingness to lend him ten thousand spiritual energy coins, he wouldnt have been able to afford all this [Dew Wine] with his own game coins. If Old Chen still refused his request for ss change, he would lose a lot of money! Looking at the full ten jugs of [Dew Wine], Old Chen finally caved: Alright, adventurer, out of respect for [Dew Wine], I agree to help you change your ss to a martial artist. However, you need to pass my test. Ding! Congrattions, youve triggered a hidden mission, [Martial Artists Trial (0/30)] After receiving the game prompt, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated finally let out a sigh of relief and his face lightened up. He quickly sent a private message to Su Yu: Chief, Ive triggered the hidden mission! Su Yu: Good luck! Were making good progress here as well, let me know if you run into any problems in the task. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: No problem! When we get to the Pandaman Empire, I will try my best to gather your materials as soon as possible, and, I will pay back these ten thousand spiritual energy coins as soon as possible! Su Yu: Keep it up! I believe in you! Chapter 127: Listing Sentiments 1 Chapter 127: Listing Sentiments 1 Trantor: 549690339 Before I knew it, it was time to publish. Overwhelmed with emotion.

In Orleans City Hall. Su Yu held the ck Magic Crystal Card in his hand, shaking it slightly while smiling at the City Hall Chief Viscount Anthony Leslie: My Lord, this is 200,000 spiritual energy coins. I want to pick a suitable location for my territory. After yers choose to exchange for territories, for fairness, thend parcels for their territories are randomly arranged by the system. With good luck, you may get a fertile piece ofnd; With bad luck, your territory could be on an isted ind, in the desert, in a swamp, or even on a volcano! The lords assigned to these parcels would cry their hearts out. However, Su Yu knew there was a hidden rule for acquiring territories: you could bribe the city hall chief. Once the bribery is sessful, the chief would give the yer a map. The yer could choose a designated parcel on the map to avoid the fate of being assigned to the sea or a volcano. Looking at the number 200,000 on the Magic Crystal Card. gulp! Viscount Leslie swallowed lightly. He was tempted! Ahem! Viscount Leslie stood up, speaking solemnly: We are all working for the Empire. For a brighter future of the empire, I certainly wont refuse your very reasonable request. Viscount Leslie, without showing any emotion, pulled a gold Magic Crystal Card out of his pocket. He swiped Su Yus card, deducting the 200,000. Turning his head, he ordered a few words, and the servant went to the warehouse, carrying arge map that was over one person tall. This time at the city hall, Sky Dragon and Skuru came along as well. Seeing Su Yu easily spending 200,000 spiritual energy coins, both of them were surprised, their eyes wide. Skye looked Su Yu up and down, eximing in surprise, Boss Ke, I didnt realize you were so wealthy! During thest campaign, Boss Ke spent 150,000 to buy three ships. This time, he spent another 200,000 smoothly. How wealthy is Boss Ke, exactly? Sky Dragon looked at Su Yu with new admiration: President, its hard to buy spiritual energy coins on the market now. Each time arge amount of spiritual energy coins appear, they are quickly snatched up. Uncle Zhen Hongs guild has people watching the spiritual energy coin market 24 hours a day. They can only get a few thousand spiritual energy coins a day. How did you manage to get so many? Su Yu did not answer, just shook his finger in front of his mouth and returned a mysterious smile. Seeing Su Yus move, his image in their minds suddenly became more mysterious. Could it be that this man controls a non-negligible power in the real world? The servant delivered the map, and Su Yu took it and spread it out on the table. [Orleans City Map (Special Item)]: A map of the entire Orleans City, including location of towns, roads and transportation, mountains and rivers, monster division areas, and detailed information on iron ore, stone ore, forests and other resource points. It updates in real time. Viscount Leslie leaned in, saying enthusiastically, Brother Nemesis, this is a map of the whole city. You can choose a suitable parcel on it as your territory. Of course, it has to be in the royal territory. Viscount Leslie pointed to the light gold area on the map. All thend in Orleans City has already been divided up by variousrge NPC forces, with two-thirds of the area controlled by various local lords (the light red area on the map). The remaining one third is exclusively royal property (the light gold area). Since Su Yu exchanged his World Prestige with the royal family for a territory, the location could only be within the royal exclusive area. Thanks for the reminder! Su Yu thanked Viscount Leslie, then turned his attention to the map. Sky Dragon and Skuru were also curious and came over to Su Yus side to give him advice. After staring at the map for a bit, the little girl Sky Dragon pointed to a piece ofnd on the map and said, I think this ce is good! Look at this ce. Not only does it have a river, stone ore, and forest, but its also surrounded by deer and wild boars. You wont have to worry about food and housing here! Su Yu took a look at the parcel Little Luo Li was pointing at and shook his head. The river is too small. If you want to develop the territory into a city, you need a big river to amodate enough people. Moreover, I want to develop overseas trade in the territory in the future. The territory should be closer to the coastline. This parcel youre pointing at is too far ind. Let me think. Skuru raked her fingers through her hair, looking intently at the map: ording to the presidents requirements, there must be a big river near the territory, the closer to the sea, the better, and there must be abundant resources such as wood and stone, right? Thats correct. How about this! Little Sky and I will help you to select parcels ording to the requirements, and you will make the final decision. How about that? Good. The three of them started to carefully search along the river on the map, cing stones on the parcels that met the requirements as markers. After selecting all the parcels that met the conditions, they discussed among themselves and determined the best parcel. It felt very much like selecting a birthce in the Civilization series. After some discussion, the three finally picked the best parcel. The parcel was located on the north bank of the downstream of Moonlight River. Moonlight River is a major river running through Orleans City with plenty of water volume. Starting from this parcel, you can reach Orleans City by walking 40 kilometers to the west, reach the seaside town of Falling Moon Town by walking 20 kilometers to the south, and the sea is just over ten kilometers to the east. In addition, the soil of this parcel is fertile, and the nearby forest resources and stone resources are very abundant. This parcel is probably the best of any that yers could choose on the entire map! Viscount Leslie, I choose here! Su Yu pointed to the parcel on the map, dering confidently. Hmm, okay. Viscount Leslie nodded and took out a small notebook for recording: Coordinates (736, 278), I will reportter, and you cane to city hall for the title deed of thisnd in a month. No problem, but I have one more thing. Whats the matter? Leslie put his pen and paper aside temporarily and looked at Su Yu. Is this map for sale? If so, I am willing to pay a high price! Su Yu was very interested in the giant map in front of him. The map included the divisions of the monster areas, stone ore, iron ore, and other resource points. Whats more, it updates in real time. If he could buy this map, it would save a lot of trouble for the construction of the territory! Im afraid that might not be possible. Viscount Leslie hesitated. This is, after all, public property 100,000 spiritual energy coins! Deal. Half an hourter, on the Moonlight River, a small cargo ship was sailing against the wind. Although Su Yus territory only has one country road connecting to the outside world, there is a Moonlight River between the territory and Orleans City. He can just take a boat to the territory from Orleans City. The width of the Moonlight River is nearly a kilometer, and there is almost no difference in elevation between Orleans City and the territory. Any resources that are needed in the territory can be brought from Orleans City through the waterway in the future. He doesnt think it will take long before his city can be built! He will certainly use this city as a pivot point to construct [Mage Towers] and other buildings, improve humanitys strength, and drive the Skuru out of Blue Star! Chapter 129: 129, Name of the Territory, Upgrade Method (plead for first subscription)_1 Chapter 129: Name of the Territory, Upgrade Method (plead for first subscription)_1 Trantor: 549690339 The cargo ship continued to move downstream. Su Yu stood at the bow of the ship,fortably enjoying the river breeze, discussing territorial construction issues with the twodies. Swift ruffled her hair, saying: I have some experience in territory management, Ive yed almost all of the major single-yer and online games on the market, many of them being city-building games. Also, in the previous holographic game Magic Realm, our Game King guild owned a small town, and I managed all the affairs of that town. Sky Dragon raised her hand eagerly, I have experience in spending money in mobile games! Isnt it just buying resources when in need, and using unlimited Speed Up Cards to level up? Su Yuughed: Youre both right! Well, how about this C I give you both territory management permissions, and we build this territory together? Yes, yes! Sky Dragon squinted inughter. Well Swift hesitated a bit. Being a high-end yer, Swift hoped to maintain her level ranking and equipment in the lead. Building a territory requires a lot of effort, and she was afraid that it would hinder her game progression, which would be costly. Su Yu figured out her concerns and smiled: Dont worry, I have ways to ensure your level ranking stays within the top 20 in the leaderboard, and I guarantee the level of your equipment can reach the top five within the priest ss. Are you feeling assured now? If thats the case, Im willing to put my main focus on territory management. Lai thought for a moment, and eventually agreed. If anyone else had promised her such a thing, Swift would surely not pay attention to it. But the person speaking was Su Yu, and that made him unquestionable. I-I-I, I want equipment too! Sky Dragon raised her hand high. Rest assured, youre not forgotten! Su Yu bent down and pinched Sky Dragons cute little nose. The cargo ship continued to navigate the wide river. When only two or three hundred meters away from the territory, a baritone voice suddenly echoed in the three peoples ear: From the first sprout of life under water, to the giant beasts of the Stone Age, to the first upright walk of mankind, youve experienced much. Now, embark on your greatest exploration from the cradle of early civilizations to the vast universe. Who is it? Whos speaking? Sky Dragon vigntly looked left and right. Its probably the background sound effect before the territory construction starts. Su Yu shrugged, unbothered. At that moment, he received a system alert: Ding, please give your territory a name. Ladies, its time to name the territory, any suggestions? Su Yu looked at them. Nemesis territory? Gold territory? Those didnt seem good. Um Sky Dragon held her adorable chin and slowly suggested: The territory is so close to the sea and at the mouth of the big river how about we call it Shanghai? Shanghai? Both Su Yu and Swift were taken aback. Seems fine. After some thought, Su Yu epted. As long as it was just a codename, a familiar one could provoke a sense of intimacy from the yers. However, after typing in Shanghai, he received another game prompt: Ding, you cannot use real-world geographical names. Uh, it seems we cannot use real-world geographical names. How about we think of another one? Su Yu looked at Sky Dragon. We cant use real-world geographic names? Sky Dragon tilted her head to think. Suddenly, she came up with an idea: Got it! As this is a Western fantasy online game, if we cant call it Shanghai, we can trante Shanghai into English and then transliterate it back into Chinese! Transliteration? Yes! Sky Dragon was excited: Shanghai tranted into English is up sea, and transliterated into Chinese it bes Aphi. How about we name the territory Aphi territory? Aphi. Su Yu couldnt help but retort: My hometown is HeFei, if we were to transliterate that, wouldnt it be Da Fa Blite? but no, youre right. It does sound quite exotic. Then lets call it Aphi territory! Su Yu waved his hand grandly and filled in the name of the territory. At the edge of the territory, the small cargo ship gradually approached the shore. Su Yu had only bought a small cargo ship this time and had not purchased arge one. His main consideration was that the territory did not yet have a dock or other facilities, so arge ship couldnt dock. As he guessed, the small cargo ship could just barely dock on the pebble beach. If it had been arge ship, they would probably be dumbly stuck in the middle of the river. Swift, you and Sky Dragon direct the sailors to unload the goods. Ill take a walk around the territory first. Su Yu instructed. He purchased arge quantity of supplies, such as food, salt, clothes, wood saws, iron shovels for stone mining, and loaded them onto the cargo ship in Orleans City. Alright then! Swift responded, turning to instruct the boatmen to move the supplies. Alone, Su Yu stepped onto the sturdy ground of his territory, heading for the thatched cottage at its center. As he walked on the territorysnd, a panel showing the propertys attributes automatically appeared before Su Yu: [Aphi Vige] Level: Small Vige Poption: 4/200 Prosperity: 55/100 Livability: 47/100 Resources: Food 0, Wood 0, Stone 0, Gold 0. Su Yu had a very clear understanding of territory construction. In the game Evolution, the key factor influencing territory upgrades is only one thing C poption. Of course, they are referring to the NPC poption. When the NPC poption reaches 200, the territory will be upgraded to a medium-sized vige; When it reaches 400, it will upgrade to arge vige; When it reaches 600, it will upgrade to a giant vige; When it reaches 1000, it will upgrade to a small town; When it reaches 2000, it will upgrade to a medium-size town; And so on. When the poption reaches ten thousand, it upgrades to a small county city; When the poption reaches one hundred thousand, it upgrades to a small city. Apart from poption, there are no other conditions for territory upgrades. Quite free! However, increasing the poption is not a simple task. Poption cant be bought with money. Some NPCs can be attracted to work in the territory with money, but these NPCs are not included in the territorys poption. Every two hours (one in-game day), some refugees will be refreshed on the edge of the territory. The higher the territorys prosperity and livability, the more refugees are refreshed. When refugees join the territory and be part of it, it increases the territorys poption. Prosperity and livability areprehensive indicators of territory development. Prosperity is the current development index of the territory; Livability represents whether the locals are happy or not. In simple terms, The moreplete and higher the level of various basic infrastructure, the higher the prosperity; If the locals have food to eat, work to do, and a rich material and cultural life, and there are more entertainment facilities such as theaters, arenas, circuses, parks, etc., the livability will be higher. The maximum value for both prosperity and livability is 100 points. Above 60 points, the poption grows normally; above 90 points, the poption grows explosively; Below 60 points, the poption slowly decreases; below 10 points, you can basically consider giving up the territory. If prosperity and livability are disproportionate, the lower one will prevail. Generally, if the lord builds the territory with care, constructing a variety of houses to meet the growing material and cultural needs of the locals, the prosperity and livability of the territory will remain rtively high. But under special circumstances, such as Monster Siege, Bandits Attack, Flood Disaster, Typhoon Rampage, Local Crime, etc., both prosperity and livability will drop. This requires the lords precise management, adoption of relevant policies ording to circumstances, and strengthening of the territorys security and defense forces. Only then can the poption growth be maintained at a high speed, and the territory upgraded to the city level. Chapter 130: 130, start spending money to build territory (ask for first subscription)_1 Chapter 130: start spending money to build territory (ask for first subscription)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yupiled all the territory development knowledge he possessed and sent it to Swift via a private message. Moreover, he also made a copy to forward to Snow Leopard, who was hurrying over. About half an hour ago, Su Yu had already informed Snow Leopard about the territory construction ns. Snow Leopard promised to bring along 500 guild members to help out. Of course, Su Yu didnt n to continuously rely on Snow Leopards guild members. He was preparing to recruit a massive number of members for his guild over the next few days, hiring his own guild members to build the territory would make it easier to manage finances. Snow Leopard received the message. After reading the content, he couldnt help but respond with a sigh, Shouldnt our primary focus be on levelling up? Why are you spending so much energy on territory construction? Su Yu contemted then decided its time he knew the truth, so he replied, Its all because of a building named [Mage Tower], which you Druids call the [Emerald Dream Portal] Su Yu exined to Snow Leopard the function of the [Mage Tower] and the difficulty of gaining experience in theter stages of the game. Upon receiving the information, Snow Leopard was taken aback. He reined in his mount and came to a stop, furrowing his brows deeply. He knew that the game wouldnt allow every yer to possess earth-shattering capabilities, but he didnt expect thete-game situation to be this severe. The majority of yers wouldnt even have ess to sources of experience, only relying on the experience of [Sunflower] to barely scrape by. Mr. Zhong, whats wrong? Truth Is In Range pulled his mount to a stop and looked back. The 500 guild members following behind, after crossing Snow Leopard, also stopped one after another, all turning to look toward their guild leader. Snow Leopard didnt respond, his eyebrows knitted into deep furrows, his expression frightening. After a while, he let out a long sigh, his eyebrows easing quite a bit. He replied via private message, Senior, since territory is so important, well definitely do our utmost to help you construct this territory! Then, he sent Truth Is In Range a private message: Mr. Li, once we return, we must spare no effort to find the two yers who trigger the rebel factions main storyline! Su Yu leisurely walked to the center of his territory. There were only four straw huts in the center of his territory, with fields nted with crops in front of the huts. On the left side of the huts, four peasants in ragged attire were standing and shivering in the cold wind. Upon seeing Su Yu, the peasants carefully approached him and respectfully greeted him. Lord. Our respects to the Lord. Su Yu surveyed each of them, able to clearly see their attributes. [Jenny] Gender: Female upation: Farmer Vitality: 70/100 Loyalty: 50/100 Ability: Gathering, Hunting, Construction Good at: Gathering, Efficiency +20% [Mike] Gender: Male upation: Farmer Vitality: 83/100 Loyalty: 50/100 Ability: Gathering, Hunting, Construction Good at: Hunting, Probable sess rate +15% [Robert] Gender: Male upation: Farmer Vitality: 64/100 Loyalty: 50/100 Ability: Gathering, Hunting, Construction Good at: Construction, Understands the methods to construct most basic buildings. [Wendy] Gender: Female upation: Farmer Vitality: 96/100 Loyalty: 50/100 Ability: Gathering, Hunting, Construction Good at: Gathering, Efficiency +20% Two men, two women, a total of four farmers. They appeared to be quite afraid of Su Yu, standing distant from him with their heads bowed in silence. Su Yu smiled cordially, he took out some pre-prepared roasted meat and cheese from his backpack and handed it over, Everyone, theres no need to be afraid of me. After Ive arrived here, Im determined to make sure that you all lead a good life! Thank you for your generosity, Lord! The four farmers exuberantly epted the food that Su Yu had handed them. They usually ate roasted meat from their hunting trips, but the meat that Su Yu handed to them was sprinkled with ck pepper powder! ck pepper powder, a precious spice, is worth almost the same as gold in the city of the same weight! The lord actually bestowed such precious food on them! Every farmers eyes were filled with gratitude. Ding! [Robert]s loyalty to you has increased by +25. Ding! [Wendy]s loyalty to you has increased by +22. Ding! [Jenny] . The loyalty of the four farmers increased by more than twenty points at the same time. At this time, Swift also arrived with the boatmen. Su Yu opened the boxes carried by the boatmen, handed out thick clothes to the four farmers, and chatted with them warmly. The loyalty of the four farmers skyrocketed to 90 points! The Snow Leopard and the majority of the yer troops havent arrived yet, taking advantage of this time, Su Yu struck up a conversation with the four farmers. Jenny, Wendy, you two are skilled at gathering, what exactly do you gather? Jenny nervously twisted the hem of her clothes and answered, My lord, gathering includes gathering wild fruits, farming, logging, collecting stone materials, and gathering gold ore. We are proficient in all of these. Very good! Su Yu nodded in satisfaction: There will be arge number of adventurersingter. You two shouldmand them to log. We need a lot of lumber to build houses. Okay, Jenny and Wendy looked at each other, clearly a little unsettled. Dont worry about anything, just do it, encouraged Su Yu: You help me work and Ill give you a reward of 50 spiritual energy coins a day, hows that sound? Normally, lords dont need to pay their NPC subjects forbor. But this is a crucial time for the foundation of the territory, to motivate them, Su Yu resorts to throwing money at the problem. 50 spiritual energy coins? Thank you, my lord! Jenny and Wendy were overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank him. The total value of the food and game they used to sell each day didnt even amount to 10 spiritual energy coins. They were astonished that the lord was giving them such a generous reward! Jennys and Wendys loyalty shot up to a full 100 points. How great it is to be under the rule of a kind lord! Six minutester, the Snow Leopard arrived at the territory with 500 guild members. Boss Ke, were here! Boss Ke, were here to help! Is this a yers initial territory? It looks pretty run-down. Boss Ke, well help build this ce to look better than Orleans City! Su Yu waved to the yers andughed: Thanks foring to help build my territory! Those yers who have cleared campaigns with me should know that you will definitely be pleased with the benefits of working with me! Same for this time! Any brother or sisteres to help build my territory can get a reward of 20 spiritual energy coins per hour! If you are in need of money in the future, feel free toe and help at my ce, the reward will absolutely be more generous! 20 spiritual energy coins an hour?! The exchange rate for spiritual energy coins in the outside world today is 1:3.3, right? 66 bucks per hour? Boss Kes got deep pockets! The yers were astonished. yers originally came with the first mindset to participate in the guild event, second to meet Boss Ke, who is known as the number one yer, and third to witness the birth of the first yer territory. They thought it was an unpaid job, they didnt expect Boss Ke to be so generous! $66 an hour, after an 8-hour workday thats a clear $528, amounting to fifteen thousand in a month! With this in mind, many yers are interested and some even considered staying and working long-term. Boss Ke, Boss Ke, will there be high wages like this when we work in your territory in the future? Of course, the reward will continue to increase with the devaluation of the spiritual energy coins. Boss Ke, can I work here long-term? Of course. Boss Ke, can I invite my friends toe too? No problem. Some yers jokingly babied Snow Leopard: Guild Leader, when working for Boss Ke, the sry is outrageously good. When are you going to improve guild benefits? Guild Leader, Im tempted, what do I do if I want to quit the guild? I also want to quit. Arent you going to improve guild benefits to keep us? Snow Leopard waved his hand with a frown: Alright! We just improved our benefits a few days ago, dont push your luck! Lets get to work. He looked at Su Yu: Senior, what do you need me to do? Very simple, logging and building. Wendy, Jenny. My lord, were here. The two farmers came out from behind Su Yu. The two of you will take charge, pick up the tools and start logging, collect as much wood as you can. Yes, my lord! ps: Two more chapters tonight Chapter 131: 131, Ten Consecutive Draws in the Tavern (Request for First Subscription)_1 Chapter 131: Ten Consecutive Draws in the Tavern (Request for First Subscription)_1 Trantor: 549690339 South of Aphi Vige is the Moonlight River, and to the north lies a dense forest, abundant in timber resources. The vige is also endowed with severalrge and small mines of stone, iron, gold and others to the east and west. It could truly be described as a treasure trove! As the vige required a lot of timber for basic construction, Snow Leopard volunteered to lead 400 yers following Jenny and Wendy to cut trees. The remaining 100 yers, led by the one who touted range equates to truth, followed Mike on a hunting trip to gather food. Although Su Yu had bought a fair amount of food from Orleans City before he came to the territory, this food did not count towards the Food resource in the territory panel. To attract migrants, he must umte enough surplus food. Instead of going with Snow Leopards group to chop wood, Su Yu sat by the thatched cottage, outlining the future cityyout based on the actual conditions of the territory. Where to ce the residential area, the business district, the industrial area, the college, the entertainment area All these had to be nned in advance to save manpower and resources in future constructions. At the same time, he did not forget to chat with thest farmer. Ah, Robert, Su Yu said pleasantly, I heard youre skilled at construction. What kind of buildings can you build? I can build a lot, mlord! Seeing the easy demeanor of his lord, Robert opened up: I can build a town hall, houses, taverns, mills, lumberyards As Robert listed each of his building skills, a piece of construction information would float beneath his namete. [Town Hall lv1] Construction requirement: 275 Timber, 100 Stone Function: Set policies, Research basic technology. Note: The Town Hall can only research basic technology. Advanced technology requires the [Research Institute] and [University]. [Houses lv1] Construction requirement: 25 Timber Purpose: Weing migrants. Note: Without enough homes, even if the prosperity and livability indices are maxed out, the popce will not increase. [Tavern lv1] Construction requirement: 200 Timber Function: Recruit talent. Note: Lad, are you ready for the [Ten Consecutive Draws]? [Mill lv1] Construction requirement: 100 Timber Function: Grind grain, Store food. Note: Due to its windmill model, it is very prone to challenges from Don Quixote. [Lumberyard lv1] Construction requirement: 100 Timber Function: Improve logging efficiency, Store timber. Note: Chop, chop, chop, chopping the timber. Well, you indeed know quite a few blueprints! Looking at Roberts properties, Su Yu nodded approvingly: When the troops are back, youmand them to build the [Tavern] and [Houses] first. Ill arrange a stone gathering team and when theres enough stone, we will build the [Town Hall] By the way, your remuneration is the same as Wendy and Jennys, 50 spiritual energy coins per day. Really? Thank you, my lord! Robert was thrilled, and his loyalty had promptly reached maximum at 100. NPC farmers resource gathering efficiency is generally 10 Timber/2h, 5 Stone/2h, or 1 Gold/2h. Themodity gathering efficiency of yers, who are beginners, is only about half of that of NPCs, which means they can only gather a unit of 5 timbers in two hours. However, Su Yu had purchased a considerable number of [Double-man Saws] from Orleans City, and using these saws to chop trees improved efficiency by 50%pared to the regr axes. Moreover, because yers were numerous and efficient, a huge amount of timber was transported back in just a few minutes. Looking at the timber, Su Yu pped his hands at Robert: Robert, lets get to work! Yes, boss! Robert went back to his thatched cottage to pick up a hammer, preparing to build the [Tavern]. Su Yu himself stopped over thirty yers who hauled wood for Robert, so he could help with the construction of the [Tavern]. If Robert worked alone, the construction of the [Tavern] would take roughly ten hours. But now he was being assisted by the yers. Even though the yers were less efficient than Robert, they had strength in numbers. Under Roberts guidance, some were digging the foundation, others were sawing wood to produce nks Within just over an hour, aplete [Tavern] had been erected! [Tavern lv1] Function: Recruit Talent The probability of recruiting talent of [Common] quality is 99%, and of recruiting talent of [Outstanding] quality, 1%. Only one talent can be recruited every 24 hours. 1% chance? Thats enough! Su Yu brimmed with unyielding confidence. He immediately sent Sky Dragon a private message: Where did you run off to? Huh? Were hunting! We just caught a massive ck wild pig! The meats abundant! From her words, Su Yu could sense the little girls joy. But he still replied: Come back quickly, theres work to do. Su Yu had initially invited Sky Dragon to join the guild not because she was a little rich girl or a lolita okay, maybe a tiny bit due to those reasons. However, the main reason was that Sky Dragon was a super lucky yer! In his previous life, there were a lot of yers with outrageous luck, but those with luck on the level of Sky Dragon were less than ten throughout the entire game realm! That was why Su Yu invited her to join his guild and to participate in territory management. With Sky Dragon managing the territory, her fortune buff would greatly reduce harmful events such as [Extreme Weather], [Flood and Drought Disasters], and [Bandit Invasion] C it was even more effective than cing an idol of a Bodhisattva in the area! Moreover, now that the territory was newly established, it was time for Sky Dragons luck to shine. The [Tavern] building has a single [Ten Consecutive Draws] option per day, which means a maximum of 100 talents can be drawn, out of which one is selected for recruitment. A Level 1 [Tavern] has a 1% chance of drawing green outstanding talents. If it were Su Yu himself, the chance of drawing with a 1% probability might not be fulfilled, but switching to Sky Dragon would massively increase the odds! Su Yu was eagerly anticipating Sky Dragons uing performance. Before long, Sky Dragon returned to the territory riding on a Howling Moon Wolf. At that moment, she was holding a string of roasted wild boar, eating ravenously. President, what did you need me for? Sky Dragon handed her half-eaten skewer of meat to Su Yu. Su Yu took the skewer, then told her about the [Ten Consecutive Draws] at the [Tavern]. Ten Consecutive Draws? Sky Dragons eyes lit up: This is my area of expertise. I never fail at it! Just watch! I will draw you a legend! After saying this, she jumped off her Howling Moon Wolf and walked into the [Tavern] confidently. Eh. Su Yu initially wanted to exin that she wouldnt be getting a legend but decided to hold his tongue and followed her into the [Tavern]. The [Tavern] signage presented two options: a draw for a cost of 10 spiritual energy coins each, or [Ten Consecutive Draws] for 95 spiritual energy coins. Sky Dragon didnt hesitate and pressed the button for [Ten Consecutive Draws]. The signboard exploded into a white light. Ten cards appeared on the board and Sky Dragon began to flip them over one after the other. The first nine were all white. On thest one, a burst of green light erupted as the card flipped! Surprisingly, Sky Dragon managed to draw the 1% chance Outstanding quality talent with her first [Ten Consecutive Draws]! Yet, staring at the [Ten Consecutive Draws] screen, Sky Dragon looked dumbfounded. She seemed devastated: Where is my legend? Where is my epic? This isnt my drawing skill at all! Chapter 132: 132, Steward Kole (First subscription requested!)_1 Chapter 132: Steward Kole (First subscription requested!)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Sky Dragon slouched like wilted leeks, Su Yu found it amusing and showed her the Taverns attributes and card pools probability of draw. One nce at the card pools probability, and Sky Dragon instantly revitalized! With a sassy pose, she said proudly, I told ya! With my luck, how could I not draw anything good? Just wait and see, Master! I will draw you a couple more quality talents! Go get em! Su Yu encouraged her softly, handing her a slightly chilled meat skewer. Sky Dragon devoured the skewer in one bite, not even bothering to wipe her mouth, and clicked on the [Ten Consecutive Draws] button, using up all 10 opportunities at once. The cards were flipped one by one, the majority of which weremon cards. After all, it is only a level 1 Tavern, and it isnt until your domain levels up to a [Small Town] that the card pool will start dropping rare, blue talents. However, in the next 9 draws, riding on Sky Dragons high-luck run, the green light flickered four more times! From these ten sets of draws, Sky Dragon had umted 5 quality minions! Looking at the green light lighting up from time to time, Su Yu secretly admired his own wise and firm decision. Having Sky Dragon join our guild really was a smart choice! Otherwise, we wouldnt be where we are today! Well done, little Sky Dragon. Su Yuplimented. Of course! Did you not notice who was drawing the cards? Sky Dragons tail was almost high enough to touch the sky in triumph. After all the extraction waspleted, 100 talent names were neatly listed on the leaderboard. Su Yu brushed past the regr-quality talents with a nce but focused his attention on those of quality grade. These five quality talents were: [Cole] Job: Butler Specialty 1: [Public Announcement]: When serving as the total butler of the territory, recruitment of disced people will be announced in the main city, increasing the number of disced people by +10%. Specialty 2: [Pacified]: In the event of a revolt in the territory while serving as the total butler, the habitability will not drastically drop. [Ethan] Job: Scout Cavalry Specialty 1: [Eagles Vision]: Vision range +50% Specialty 2: [Panthers Senses]: Chance to discover wild boar, deer, sheep +30% [Joshua] Job: Stonemason Specialty 1: [Top Grade Craftsmanship]: The stoneware produced can sell for high prices within the city. Specialty 2: [Stone Art Exhibition]: Exhibit stone carving craftsmanship, slightly increasing the habitability of the territory. [Emily] Job: Soldier Specialty 1: [Attack Stance]: During attack, all attributes +20%. Specialty 2: [Nimbleness]: Evasion rate +15%. [Miller] Job: Wandering Poet Specialty 1: [Storyteller]: Telling tales to citizens at the tavern, slightly increasing the habitability of the territory. Specialty 2: [Dew Lover]: Slightly increasing the birth rate of female citizens. The talents within the territory range from soldiers to craftsmen, to various artisan professions, covering all aspects. Each talent has their unique ability; some can generate money, some can expedite resource gathering, some can improve the habitability and prosperity, and some can attract disced migrants. However, for Su Yu, among these five, the one that could bring him thergest gains is undoubtedly the [Butler], the core of the territory expansion is the poption. During the early days of the game, there is no need to worry about habitability issues. In the early days of the game, when citizens were not well-fed and dressed, youd just need to give them some food and fling some coins, their habitability would quickly rise. The real difficulty of habitability index is in theter stages of the game when the citizens need spiritual and cultural enjoyment. Thats when habitability would be every lords most significant headache. Su Yu directly summoned the butler [Cole]. A Green Summoning Array appeared in the tavern. Upon the Six-pointed Star of the magic circle lighting up, an elderly butler wearing a ck suit appeared at the open space in the tavern. Sir, I am Cole. Cole, a middle-aged man with a monocle, promptly bowed to Su Yu as he saw him. Su Yu took out a [Ceremonial Sword] from his backpack and ced the tip of the sword on Coles shoulder, Cole, I hereby officially appoint you as the chief butler of the territory, responsible for managing all affairs of the territory. Its my pleasure to be at your service, sir! Cole shivered in excitement upon seeing the [Ceremonial Sword] The use of the [Ceremonial Sword] is the most solemn ceremony during the empire lords appointment of their subordinates, and normally wouldnt be used lightly. Being subject to this ceremony indicated how much the Lord values him! With this thought in mind, Butler Coles loyalty rose straight from 60 to a full-on 100 points! Unwavering loyalty, that is. I pledge my life to serve you, sir! The butler Cole knelt again. Alright! Su Yu helped him up, From now on, all the matters regarding the territory will be yours to manage. However, if thisdy gave you an order, as long as its not unreasonable, obey it, understood? Su Yu pointed towards Sky Dragon as he said that to the butler. Understood, sir! The butler answered immediately. As Su Yu looked at the butler in front of him, he sighed softly. Although an NPC butler can help yers manage a territory and provide buff bonuses, an NPC butler cant see attributes like prosperity and habitability, and their management efficiency is rather limited. During the yers offline period, leaving the territory to the butler is still eptable, but when theyre online, its best for the yers to manage the territory themselves. Therefore, until he had at least an epic-grade butler, Su Yu still couldnt do without the help of Swift. Su Yu, along with Cole and side by side with Sky Dragon, left the tavern. From now on, the daily task of the Ten Consecutive Draws is yours! Keep up the good work. Su Yu patted Sky Dragons shoulder. Rest assured, my luck is very reliable. Sky Dragon was full of confidence, Then Guild Master, Ill continue with my hunting! Off you go then, have fun. Su Yu waved goodbye to Sky Dragon, who had already mounted her Howling Moon Wolf. After Sky Dragon left, Su Yu looked at his territory. Currently, inside the territory, Robert was leading the yers in building [Residential Houses] Building [Residential Houses] is the simplest and requires the least amount of materials, only 25 units of timber, which is one-eighth that of a [Tavern]. Therefore, under Robertsmand, six or seven residential houses lined up in a neat row, and construction started simultaneously. The yers too enjoyed the sense of aplishment from collectively building the territory, filling the building site withughter and cheer: Night, cant you see the wall in front of you is crooked? Where is my hammer? Has anyone seen my hammer? OK! This wall just needs a window, and its done! Hey you! Get me the wooden board! Looking at the lively construction site, Su Yu opened the territory panel. The territory is in full swing now; I wonder what the prosperity level would be? Indeed! The territory panel shows a prosperity of as high as 98 points, and habitability reached a maximum of 100 points! The high prosperity was mainly due to arge number of yers participating, and the buildings were quickly put up. The development of the territory far exceeded the speed at which the disced came in; As for the high habitability, it was mainly because Su Yu offered high wages to the four farmers, helped them build houses, and added a [Tavern], which is an entertainment building to the territory. It would be odd if the habitability does not skyrocket. There are still 12 minutes until the arrival of the first wave of [Disced People]. With such high prosperity and habitability, also with my butlers buff, I wonder how many migrants wille in the first wave? Su Yu is literally filled with anticipation. Chapter 133: 133, Recruiting refugees, preparing to leave the territory_1 Chapter 133: Recruiting refugees, preparing to leave the territory_1 Trantor: 549690339 To the east of Aphi Vige, a thin horse pulled an old, worn-out caravan along a forest path. Daddy, Im so hungry! A soft voice of a little girl came from inside the caravan. Just a bit further, Kathy. Outside the caravan, a robust middle-aged manforted her while patting the door, ording to the notice in the city, the territory recruiting refugees is not far ahead. Maybe we can get some food when we get there. Upon hearing this father-daughter conversation, an old man holding a hammer, walking behind the caravan, sighed: s! I hope there wont be any mishaps this time. We used to have more than thirty people. Now only twelve are left. We cant afford to lose any more! Indeed! Lets pray that the princess graces us with a safe journey! The robust man shut his eyes and prayed devoutly. But at that moment, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma. Upon identification, it was the aroma of meat soup! Am I hallucinating out of hunger? He was in disbelief. He opened his eyes and looked at the other people around him: Do you smell anything? I smell it. Its the smell of meat soup! The old man from earlier was swallowing frantically, his eyes fixated on the distance ahead. Others also began to smell the aroma of the meat soup, their stomachs making ravenous sounds. They hadnt eaten for two or three days! Never mind, lets go check it out! The old man gripped his hammer tightly and began advancing swiftly towards the source of the aroma, guided by his intense hunger. Seeing someone take the initiative, the rest of the refugees hurriedly followed. Ah The robust man wanted to calm everyone down. After all, they were in the wilderness, and the soup might be cooked by a high-ranking adventurer. If it was truly made by a high-ranking adventurer, not only would they fail to get any, but they might end up ughtered! But no amount of reason mattered in the face of extreme hunger. The man could only grip the short sword in his hand, moving the caravan forward along with the group. Parting a clump of bushes, the refugees arrived at a clearing in the forest. But, what they saw left them stunned! They observed two huge iron pots in the clearing from where the aroma of meat soup wafted continuously. Near the iron pots, several people stood. One of them, a young man, walked towards them upon their arrival. Hello everyone, I am Nemesis, the lord of Aphi Vige. Its my territory that is recruiting refugees. I wont beat around the bush. You all must be hungry, right? The refugees nodded frantically. Jenny, Wendy, serve them each a bowl of soup, make sure to add more meat! Su Yu turned around to instruct, then he looked at the refugees again: You are all wee to settle down in my territory. I cant guarantee much else, but you will definitely have enough to eat and wear! Thank you; thank you, my lord! The refugees were tremendously moved. Many of them couldnt believe what was happening as they received the soup. They thought that aftering to Aphi Vige, the lord would, at most, give them some leftover ck bread. But to their surprise, the lord had cooked them two pots of steaming hot meat soup and served them quite a bit of meat! It felt as though theyd stepped into heaven! My lord, I, Moke, pledge my loyalty to you! After feeding his daughter the soup, the stout man who had led the refugees knelt on one knee, pledging his loyalty to Su Yu. His loyalty surged, reaching a score of 93! The loyalty of the refugees wasnt a meaningless attribute. If it fell below 50, the refugees might leave the territory, which would lead to a poption decline. The higher the loyalty, the more enthusiastic the refugees would be in their work. A score of 93 could potentially increase their work enthusiasm by 36%. We too! The other refugees knelt and pledged their loyalty to Su Yu one after another. Very good! Everyone, please get up! Su Yu looked at the refugees in front of him with satisfaction. What delighted him most was the number of refugees. He had managed to recruit twelve in one go! Normally, a vige level territory would only spawn 3 or 4 refugees every two hours; the number this time was three or four times the usual amount! Perhaps this is the benefit of prosperity and perfect livability! With this trend, he only needs one or two days for his territory to umte 200 people and upgrade to a [Medium-sized Vige]. Aside from the number of refugees, Su Yu also noticed that the quality of this group of refugees was quite good! The majority of the refugees were farmers and hunters, but among the 12 refugees, there were three talents. The strong Moke who was leading them is a warrior type talent. [Moke] upation: Warrior Characteristic: [Defensive Stance]: All attributes +20% when defending against enemy attacks His daughter is a magic type talent. [Kathy] upation: None Characteristic: [Elemental Sensitivity]: Meditation Efficiency +35% And the old man carrying a hammer, hes a carpenter. [Brooke] upation: Carpenter Characteristic: [Wood-Stone Construction]: Specializes in constructing wood and stone houses, can slightly increase the territorys prosperity. The probability of a talent appearing among the refugees is 10%, but this time, three appeared at once, which made Su Yu very satisfied! Especially, the old carpenter Brooke. In the early stage, when most houses are made of wood and stone, he will y a key role in the development of the territory and deserves attention! Kole. I am here, sir! Kole, the steward, ran over and bowed before Su Yu. Remember, if any more refugees want to join us in the future, treat them the same as we treated these ones today. Preparerge pots of meat soup and give everyone some clothes. Dont neglect any residents, got it? Understood! I will do as you say! Steward Kole responded immediately. The recruitment of refugees was pretty much over with this. Next, Su Yu and the other yers allocated residences to these refugees. Each residence could house up to five residents. However, overcrowded living quarters could breed crime and lead to a decline in the poption. Considering both the decrease in crime rate and improvement in livability, it is most suitable to have three residents per residence. As for old carpenter Brooke, Su Yu didnt arrange for him to live in a residence. As soon as he arrived in the vige, he was bought at a high price (100 spiritual energy coins per day) to work on the construction site, recing Robert to be the chief architect of the territory. Outside the residential area of his territory, Su Yu handed the n he just drew to Swift:Swift, from now on, the territory will develop ording to the n. The map marks where the residential,mercial and entertainment areas are. I might not be around for some time, so please take good care of the territory! Alright. Swift received the n and looked it over, but quickly realized something was off: Wait, Mr. Chairman, you wont be in the territory? Where are you going? Of course, Im going out toplete tasks! Su Yu pointed at a patch of [Farnd] to the south of the territory, and said: There are still plenty of blueprints of buildings, wonders, rare crops waiting for me to obtain outside, like the one on the field right now. This [Farnd] patch, built using 60 units of wood, covers approximately 666 square meters. But this [Farnd] didnt have wheat, instead, it only held one crop a [Sunflower]. Now the [Sunflower] has fully matured, its golden crown swaying back and forth towards the sun. Theres a big smiley face on the crown of the [Sunflower], constantly twisting its body and leaves towards the sun, appearing somewhat peculiar. Chapter 134: 134, The first selection for the harem (Fog)_1 Chapter 134: The first selection for the harem (Fog)_1 Trantor: 549690339 [Sunflower Seed (Special Item)] Usage: Requires [Farnd]. nt the seed in the [Farnd] and take good care of it. Effect: Once the sunflower matures, it will produce 1 unit of [Sunshine] every sunny day. [Sunshine] can be used to purchase other crops at [Crazy Dave]s in Orleans City with coordinates (514, 213), or absorbed to gain Experience Points. Note: Good seeds always spread widely. This time when Su Yu left his territory, in addition topleting Tinas main storyline, he had another idea C to rope in [Crazy Dave] into his seraglio spit spit, wrong, into his territory. To the NPCs, [Crazy Dave] is an ordinary farmer, in and insignificant. But in Su Yus eyes, hes a God Level NPC, unparalleled! Even the [Star-forged Dragon King] would have to make way for him. In thete stage of the game, civilian yers barely have any channels to obtain Experience Points. About 60% of Experience Points of civilian yers are gained from the [Sunshine] produced by Sunflowers. All civilian yers go to [Crazy Dave]s to exchange [Sunshine] for [Sunflower]. If Su Yu could persuade [Crazy Dave] to work in his territory, his territory will certainly be the main gathering ce for yers in thete stage of the game, on par with the main city! Then Su Yu would just need to set up [Teleportation Portals] to all major cities, collecting teleportation fees to make a fortune, enough forte-stage city operation. Besides [Sunflower], the nts sold at [Crazy Dave]s C [Walnut Wall], [Pea Shooter], [Cherry Bomb], etc. are also great city defense tools. Theyre very useful against monster sieges, bandit invasions, and NPC lord attacks in the mid andte game. So this time Su Yu goes out toplete the mission, his aim is to use his charm to bring [Crazy Dave] into his territory as much as possible. Once the NPCs in Orleans City recognize Daves value, itll be extremely difficult to make him join then. About ten minutester, Su Yu arrived at the east gate of Orleans City. He doesnt need to worry about the construction of the territory with Snow Leopard and Swifts help. ording to Snow Leopards private message, the [Town Hall] has already begun nning its construction, with the old carpenter Brooke as the chief architect. It should be built in about four hours. So Su Yu decided to return to the territory after four hours to activate the [Territory Technology]. Hell stay in Orleans City andplete missions for the time being. Riding Dima on the streets of Orleans City, Su Yu decided to go see Tina and progress the main storyline first. After all, he hasnt seen Tina for nearly a month in game time. If he doesnt go now, Tina might blow her top off! At that time, Tinas tripletbo of cold aloofness + dropping favorability + refusing to give tasks would have nowhere for him to cry. But as he walked on the streets of Orleans City, taking advantage of this spare time, Su Yu decided to send out the guild recruitment post first. He opened the official forum built into the game. Currently, what is most discussed in the forum is still about his first-person experience video from thest campaign. Among them is a petition post with over 10,000 replies from yers. In the petition, more than 3000 yers jointly requested Su Yu to release the first-person experience video segment of Princess Alyssa riding on him. They insisted that Su Yu must have recorded it, but he was hogging it all to himself. Many yers even found lofty reasons: Game resources belong to all yers, we ordinary yers also have the right to experience it, Boss Ke cannot hog all of them! Boss Ke grabbing the main storyline is tolerable, but him also hogging the rewards of the main story line is intolerable! Looking at thesements, Su Yu was speechless; it seems there are quite a few LSPs among the yers. In addition to the first-person experience video, Su Yus territory construction also sparked a lot of discussion. Many popr streamers in the game would follow the trend, and now theyve run to Su Yus territory and started live streaming the territory construction scene. Most yers game journey is mostly about fighting monsters C fighting monsters C doing tasks C fighting monsters C fighting monsters, so theyd soon be bored of it. Now seeing the novel city-building gamey, theyve all developed a great interest! And the freedom of city building is extremely high, you could build as many structures as you want, wherever you want. ([Tavern],[Farnd] and other functional buildings can be built inrge quantities, but only the first [Tavern] can draw cards, and only the first 10 [Farnds] in a small vige level can nt special crops.) Netizens were sending barrage after barrage of messages to give advice, discussing their ideal territory building schemes on the bullet screen, and the heat of each live broadcast room was exploding! Reflected on the official forum, the number of discussion posts was also increasing. Feeling that the time was ripe, Su Yu started to post on the official forum: [Yellow Turban Army] Guild Recruitment Notice, Participate in Guild Activities to Receive a Minimum of 20 Spiritual Energy Coins/hour, Only for the First 800 Valid Applicants, First Come First Served! In the post, Su Yu detailed the benefits of joining the guild. 1. Guild contributions can be exchanged for equipment dropped by level 10 [Howling Moon Wolf King], and green excellent quality skill books; 2. Have the chance to receive his guidance on the guild channel, obtaining tricks to speedrun instances and tasks; 3. Participating in guild construction can receive the exceedingly high payment of 20 spiritual energy coins per hour; 4. Experience the sense of achievement of collectively building a vige into the most prosperous city in the game; And so on, Su Yu listed more than a dozen benefits. Of course, only the first three are solid benefits, the rest are just hype. As soon as the post was posted, the entire forum was immediately in an uproar! Under Su Yus post, in just five minutes, the number of replies had already exceeded a thousand! Boss Ke posted again! Every time Boss Ke posts, some big event is going to happen. This time is probably no exception. Excellently rated green skills book?! Boss Ke, do you know what a green skill represents at this stage of the game? If you get one, you will qualify to join the Elite Team of a big guild! 20 spiritual energy coins every hour? 66 yuan per hour? Work eight hours a day, earn 15,000 a month?! Whoa, dont talk anymore, Im going to log in now! Ah, Im only level 9 right now, I feel like Ive missed out on a fortune! Bloody hell, this sheer spending power is so terrifying! How is Boss Ke so rich? It might be the money he earned from the first-person experience video? Now that video has over two million views, he could make at least nine million yuan! Man, its insanely envious! Su Yu was also scrolling throughizens replies. When he scrolled to thisment, he couldnt help but pause. Whats going on? The views of the first-person experience video have already exceeded two million? Its only been half a day, right? Thats impossible! Thinking of this, Su Yu temporarily suspended his ns, exited the game, and logged in to the official website to check. Chapter 135: 135, Seeing Tina Again (Extra Update Courtesy of Miao Xiaofeng!)_1 Chapter 135: Seeing Tina Again (Extra Update Courtesy of Miao Xiaofeng!)_1 Trantor: 549690339 The first person video section of the official website. Now, Su Yus video firmly holds the top spot in the click rankings, with a total of 2.06 million clicks! How can this be? Why is it so high? Su Yu found it hard to believe. The total number of domestic Evolution yers was just over a million (due to limited production capacity of the headsets) at the moment. It was not feasible that every single yer in the game had watched his video twice, that would be too unrealistic! With this suspicion, Su Yu clicked on the details page of his own video. After reading a few pages ofments under the video, Su Yu finally came to understand the situation. As it turns out! Under Xue Wenlis operation, the video had parachuted to the top of the trending list on several mainstream social tforms such as Weibo, Zhihu, and A Station. With the enormous influx of traffic, the videos numbers naturally soared. Moreover, it was not just the influx of traffic. ording to ament from Xue Wenli herself below the video, at her request, all members of rted departments and arge number of soldiers joined in the viewing of the video, experiencing the immense power of a level six character. (Xue Wenli didnt make it explicit, but Su Yu had figured out what she meant.) Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures. Within just an afternoon, the number of military personnel watching had reached several hundred thousand, ounting for a significant portion of the videos views. Understanding what actually happened, Su Yu returned to the game. However, upon seeing that Xue Wenli still addressed him as Senior Zhang, Su Yu had some new thoughts: Perhaps its time to reveal my cards to the rted authorities. The reward for the first phase of the princess line is a level six transformation scroll, maybe the first phase the Tina line might give something impressive too. If what Tinas line gives is also simr to the level six transformation scroll, then I can reveal my cards to the rted authorities and reveal my true identity. I, Nemesis, am Su Yu, not Zhang Jiao. I have already helped humanity take back one Spiritual Spring Eye, and in the future, I can take back even more! So, the spiritual energy in the Yunlu Mountains Spring Eye must have a portion for me! As he pondered randomly, Su Yu knocked on Tinas door. Knock, knock, knock. Whos there? Anguid female voice echoed from inside. Its me, Su Nemesis. Because he was lost in his thoughts, he almost messed up his name. Bang. (The sound of a heavy object falling) Tap, tap, tap. (Footsteps running) Creak. (Door opening) Tina quickly opened the door. So you remembered toe back! Now, Tina wore a pure white silk nightgown. Even unmade-up, she was still as perfect as ever. She looked at Su Yu standing in front of her, her gaze almost overflowing with reproach. That Tina, Ive been busytely Su Yu began to exin. But as soon as he opened his mouth, Tina cut him off: No need to exin,e on in! Su Yu: ? Without another word, Tina grabbed Su Yus hand and pulled him directly inside. 40 minutester. Tina, now wearing a full suit of golden armor, walked out of the house. She was radiantly beautiful, her cheeks tinted with a faint blush. Su Yu followed behind Tina, seemingly listless. During the month that Su Yu was gone, Tina had bought quite a few beautiful dresses. But because she had no friends in Orleans City C and Quinn, who was her sole friend-like acquaintance and teacher, wasnt in the city C she had no one to show off her new clothes to. Thereby, in the past 40 minutes, Tina showcased all sorts of beautiful clothes she had purchased for Su Yu C a purple dress, a goose yellow pleated skirt, a light green sundress, a pink cat-girl costume, a ck and white maid outfit Su Yu initially seemed quite interested. However, after seeing too much.he started to feel a bit bored and yet he had to keep his smile. Tina had finally shown off all her beautiful clothes, thus when she walked out of the house, she looked radiant and felt refreshed! Su Yu spent half of his time keeping his smile, and as a result, he looked a bit listless. Tina, where are we going now? asked Su Yu as he rode the Howling Moon Wolf Big White. The reason why Su Yu didnt summon Dima and chose to ride Big White instead was because he was afraid that Dima might get upset seeing Tina riding a unicorn. Were going to the Unicorn Trial Ground. Today is the day Anna and I take the trial and be official unicorn knights! Tina brought out a snow-white unicorn from the stable and stroked its long mane around the neck. Anna, we have to work hard! HiHi The unicorn affectionately rubbed Tinas neck with its forehead. Ding, your main plot has been updated![Orleans City Holy Maiden (5/100)]. Mission requirement: As a knights attendant, assist Tina in passing the Unicorn Knights initiation trial. Mission reward: Experience Points X1000. Su Yu had already paid in advance for the reward of the fifth ring mission[Blood Link], so this ring mission only had the most basic experience point reward. But Su Yu didnt care about these, all he cared about was Tina and the unicorn in front of him. Its a good thing I didnt summon Dima. Otherwise, if Dima saw Tina and the unicorn being intimate, and even gave the unicorn her former name Anna, Dima would have exploded! Su Yu thought to himself emotionally. The North of Orleans City, Unicorn Trial Grounds. The one responsible for assessing Tina is a female instructor named Marguerite. Character: [Marguerite] Level: 56 Level[Third Order] Profession: Knight Hobby: Peeping at female unicorn knights taking a bath. Marguerite was a beautiful female instructor in herte twenties. Shemanded her unicorn to step into the center of the trial grounds, her demeanor calm and collected, graceful and at ease: Lets get started, Tina. But this assessment isnt important. For a knight like you who already owns a unicorn, its just a formality. But when she saw Su Yu next to Tina, she frowned slightly: Tina, why did you choose a man to be your knights attendant? What, is that against the rules? Its not necessarily forbidden, themanders attendant is a male Druid who is said to be especially ferocious after turning into a bear cough cough. Marguerite realized she had said too much and quickly changed the subject. Tina didnt understand her implication and blinked her innocent big eyes. Marguerite regained her serious demeanor and added: If your attendant is a male, you cant bring him into the unicorn camp because its filled with girls and we usually eat and bathe together. Its okay, Ill leave Nemesis outside. Thats good. Marguerite raised hernce, aiming at Tina: Now the trial officially begins! If you canst for two minutes under my hand, this trial is consideredplete. What if I defeat you? Madam instructor. Tina suddenly looked serious. Impossible, for nearly 20 years no one has defeated the instructor during the entrance examination. Tinas eyes suddenly became sharp: What if I can? If you can defeat me Marguerite looked a bit hesitant but still said: If you can defeat me, I will open the Trial Secret Realm just for you, where you can obtain huge benefits. Then Ill not be polite, Madam instructor! Tina looked eager to try. At the same time, she turned to Su Yu: Dont mess up, Nemesis! Dont worry! Su Yu raised his right thumb and ced it in front of his chest. Chapter 136: 136, Hey, haven’t you eaten yet? _1 Chapter 136: Hey, havent you eaten yet? _1 Trantor: 549690339 Gah! Ah! Inside the Unicorn trials arena, Tina and Instructor Marguerite have started a fierce duel. The sharpnce pierces the air, its chilling de stirring up bursts of red. Both are employing skills from the new Knight ss presented in the second expansion pack, which are incredibly suitable for mountedbat. [Horse Riding Charge], [Swipe], [Backhorse Spear], [Man and Horse as One]. All these skills wereing into y. With both parties going all out, the white and gold auras shed, and the surrounding space violently vibrated. If the arenas ground hadnt been specially processed, it would have already cracked by now. Su Yu was watching from the sidelines. Before the fight began, he switched to first-person view, nning to record the battle and post it on the official website. Even though posting this video would expose the fact that he was participating in two main storylines. But theter stages of Tinas storyline would inevitably cause arge-scale battle involving thousands or even tens of thousands of yers. They would eventually find out that he was the one involved in the main quests anyway, so he couldnt hide it forever. He might as well let the yers know now and earn some spare cash. While watching the two women fight, Su Yu took out a bag of sunflower seeds and ate them with relish. The caption I just love watching two women fight.jpg After a while, Su Yu nced at a little girl beside him: Hey, havent you eaten yet? Hearing Su Yus words, the little girl stomped her foot, her face flushing with anger, Youve gone too far!!! The little girl intensified her efforts, firing arrows one after another towards Su Yus [Earth Shield], the arrows scraping against the [Earth Shield] and creating an unpleasant sound of friction. In reality, it wasnt just Tina fighting, but Su Yu and the little girl were battling as well. This little girl, called Ai Yi, is a Knights Squire under Instructor Marguerite. ording to the rules of these trials, Knights and Instructors battle, and so do their Squires. If the Knight loses, she wont qualify to join the Unicorn Knight Group; If the Squire loses, the Knight must rece the Squire. (Failure of the mission) Hence, while Tina and the Instructor were having their intense battle, Su Yu and little Ai Yi were also having a direct confrontation. Ai Yi was at the same level as Su Yu, a level 26 Archer with a shooting specialty. As soon as the battle began, she continuously shot powerful arrows towards Su Yu. But Su Yu wasnt just any yer. Before the battle began, he had already gathered magical power andunched a 25 times thicker [Earths Shield]. He also put on theplete set of level 21 cloth armor given during the 16-19 round of the Princess questline, greatly improving his physical defense. The arrows Ai Yi shot at the [Earths Shield x 25], merely created ripples and were unable to shatter the shield. Consequently, Su Yu leisurely cracked sunflower seeds, ignored Ai Yi, and watched Tinas and the Instructors fight off to the side. Ai Yi was already peeved by Su Yus disregard, but hisment C Hey, havent you eaten yet? ignited her long-suppressed rage. Youve gone too far! Are you saying that my strength is insufficient and I cant even break a simple shield, right? I will definitely break it today to show you! Ai Yi, fuming at Su Yu, gathered herrgest amount of power and continued firing arrows at the [Earth Shield]. Um, youve misunderstood. Su Yu exined, I meant if you havent eaten, would you like some sunflower seeds? I have many packs left. Saying this, Su Yu took out two more packs of sunflower seeds from his bag and threw them towards Ai Yi. Crunch, crunch, crunch. The sunflower seeds fell at Ai Yis feet. One pack is intact, but the other packs wrapper was torn by an arrow, scattering the seeds all over the ground. Ai Yi stopped firing. As she looked at the scattered seeds at her feet, her face turned pale and then flushed. A sense of deep humiliation she had never felt before washed over her. Auntie, I refuse topete anymore! This is too annoying! Waaaa! Ai Yis mental state copsed as she threw her bow and arrow on the ground, covering her face as she ran out of the trials arena. Waah. The little girls crying gradually faded into the distance. Marguerite was still engaged in battle with Tina when she noticed her attendant and niece run out. However, she dared not lose focus. The pressure that Tina applied was too great, and she had to remain whollymitted to the battle to barely contend with Tinas attacks. At the same time, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, [Orleans City Saintess] fifth-ring mission has beenpleted, received 1000 Experience Points. Ah, these girls nowadays, they cant handle any pressure. Besides, I only asked if you had eaten, how is that an insult to you? Su Yu walked over and picked up the untouched bag of sunflower seeds. As for the bow and arrows that the young girl had discarded, Su Yu didnt bother to pick them up. It was merely a weapon of rare grade; Su Yu didnt bother with it. Moreover, picking it up might irritate Tina. If her favorability dropped, it would be a loss rather than a gain. However, the battle between Tina and the instructor came close to its end now. Tina was at Level 50 while Instructor Marguerite was Level 56, Tina was at a slight disadvantage in terms of level. However, Tina was, after all, the Chosen One. Her mighty God Level bloodline conferred on her the strength to take on higher-level opponents; a mere 6-level gap was something Arrogant Tina could easily ovee. ZingDD With a piercing sound of shing metal, Tinasnce knocked off the instructorsnce,nded a blow to her abdomen, and knocked her off her horse. The instructor fell heavily onto the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, andy unconscious. The battle ended with Tinas victory! However, Tina wasnt feeling very well either. After all, it was a higher-level challenge. She was nearly drained of energy and swayed in her saddle before falling off her unicorn. Hui hui Tinas unicorn perceived its master falling and swiftly twisted its body in an attempt to catch her. But Su Yu was faster. The moment Tina fell off her horse, he had already shed to her side. However, Su Yu did not reach his arms out to catch Tina like the leading man in a TV drama would. Considering Tinas armor had been enhanced by [Kelly], it weighed several hundred pounds. Despite his best intentions, Su Yu C a Level 26 mage C was simply unable to support such weight. ng Once Tinanded on the ground, Su Yu rushed over, feigning concern: Tina, are you okay? Youve lost so much blood! Let me help you clean your wounds. Su Yu switched off the first-person view, took out arge amount of tissue from his backpack, and began wiping away the blood on Tina. The unicorn, Anna, lit up the horn on her head cast [Healing Skill] on Tina But seeing this, Su Yu promptly threw the bag of sunflower seeds at her horn, interrupting the [Healing Skill]: Anna, youve expended a lot in the previous fight. Dont drain your magic power any further. Eat some sunflower seeds. I can take care of Tinas injuries. The bag of sunflower seeds was ripped open by the horn, and the seeds scattered over the ground. However, the unicorn Anna didnt mind. Unaware of Su Yus ulterior motives, she dropped her head and began to eat the scattered seeds. Thank you, Nemesis. Tinas voice was soft. Seeing Su Yu meticulously wiping away her blood, Tina was incredibly moved. Youre wee Su Yu responded with a smile. Tina turned her head to look at Instructor Marguerite, her expression bing serious: Instructor, I won this time! Ah, indeed you did. Margueritey half on the ground, her face pale. She hadnt expected to be defeated by a rookie. She must admit that she was an astonishing rookie! Tina, congrattions onpleting the trial. Marguerite said somewhat despondently: The [Trial Secret Realm] is located in the underground chamber beneath the trial field. Follow me. Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, your mainline has been updated, [Orleans City Saintess (6/100)]. Task requirement: Apany Tina through the [Trial Secret Realm]. Task Reward: Rewards will be given randomly ording to the degree of taskpletion. Chapter 137: 137, Advanced Secret Realm_1 Chapter 137: Advanced Secret Realm_1 Trantor: 549690339 But instructor, Su Yu questioned, Tinas rage has almost run dry right now, plus shes badly injured. Is this really the right time for her to participate in the trial? Tina, however, forcibly rose to her feet: Im fine, I can handle it. Her Divine Bloodline began coursing in her body, causing a golden aura to emit around her once again. In just two breathes of time, her rage went from nearly exhausted back to 50%. Su Yu and Marguerite: What a bizarrely powerful recovery ability! Marguerite couldnt help but wipe the sweat off her face. She had nned to give Tina a hard time, but looking at it now Screw it! Where did this freake from! Marguerite shakily rose and walked towards the east side of the trial grounds, towards an entrance that led underground. If youre ready, then follow me! I hope you can gain lots of benefits from this. Thank you, instructor! Tinas recovery ability was shocking C not only had her rage almost entirely replenished, her wounds were practically healed. She and Su Yu followed behind Marguerite, heading towards the entrance. As for their unicorns, they had to be temporarily left outside. Entering the entrance, there was a spiral wooden staircase leading downward. At the bottom of the staircase, it was pitch ck, not a hint of light, which looked somewhat intimidating. Although Tina was a powerful Level 3 warrior and a favored child of heaven bolstered by the Divine Bloodline, she was still a bit afraid of the dark. Only one level underground, she began to slow down, carefully feeling her way forward in fear. Noticing Tinas uneasiness, Su Yu walked ahead and held her hand: Tina, let me guide you. Hmm. Having her hand held by Su Yu, feeling the warmth in his palm, Tinas cheeks slightly reddened. In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to the times in Nn Vige when Su Yu would hold her hand in a simr manner, going to Baron Wilson to demand the money owed to them. A feeling of warmth instantly welled up in her heart. Ding, [Tina Garcia]s fondness of you +1. On the huge underground area of level four in the trial ground, Marguerite fumbled out a key to turn on the switch on the wall. Hum White, green, and blue lights shone respectively on the left, right, and frontal walls, and three teleport portals opened ordingly. Marguerite exined: I wont bore you with the history and such of the secret realm. The white represents the Beginner Secret Realm, green is the Intermediate Secret Realm, and blue is the Advanced Secret Realm. Tina, with your strength, you can easily pass the Beginner Realm, but the Intermediate Realm may pose some difficulty. If youre confident, you can try it. Thank you, instructor. I understand. Tina nodded, then turned to Su Yu: You should choose, Nemesis. I trust your judgement. Really? You wont regret it? Su Yu said with a smile. Of course not. Tina looked at Su Yu, a yful glint in her eyes. Alright then. Su Yu held Tinas hand and started walking towards the green portal. However, when they were only a meter away from the portal, Su Yu suddenly made a 90-degree turn, pulling Tina into his embrace, and jumped into the blue portal. Yeah, thats right. Oh no! Marguerite initially approved when she saw Su Yu guiding Tina towards the green portal. This kid really has an eye for things, too bad he isnt a Druid and cannot transform into a bear.. But when she saw Su Yu making a sudden turn and jumping into the blue portal with Tina, Marguerite was taken aback: Damn it, what is this boy up to?! Why would they go into the Advanced Secret Realm?! Given Tinas current strength, she could very well die in there! If Tina dies, there goes a years worth of my sry! Damn that boy, Im gonna tear him into pieces!! I should have used up my anger to shut down this portal ahead of time. Ovee with regret, Instructor Marguerite stamped her foot in frustration. After a while, she took a deep sigh, and moved her gaze away from the portal: I better rush to find the Legion Leader. Tina, you better not die in there! Once again, Su Yu opened his eyes. He and Tina were now standing amidst a dark purple space. The ground underneath them was an unidentified shade of dark purple, and all around themy a deep purple desert. Above them spread a dark purple night sky dotted with massive stars, also emitting a dark purple glow. Damn! This is the Void! Su Yu eximed in disbelief. He was all too familiar with this environment. When Su Yu had died in his previous life, the game he was ying had been on its seventh expansion pack, Void Invasion. He couldnt be more familiar with these lumps of dark purple matter. Whats the Void? Tina asked, a cute little question mark appearing above her. Before Su Yu could answer, two monsters sprung up from the shadows on either side, lunging at them. [Void Crawler lv50] HP: ??? Spell Strength: ??? Abilities: [Dark Energy Surge], [Void Walking], [Void Stone (Passive)] Description: Before learning how to walk in the Void, start by crawling! [Void Wave Element lv50] HP: ??? Attack Power: ??? Abilities: [Void Wave], [Void Imprisonment], [Element Modification (Passive)] Description: Ride the wave, buddy! Because of the massive level difference, Su Yu couldnt see their specific attributes. However, Tina quickly stepped in front of him, Nemesis, let me protect you! Tina put away hernce and drew a pale golden longsword. Then she leapt high into the air, her aura erupting like a golden sun, too dazzling to look at directly. Ha! With a heavy sh filled with umted power, her pale golden longsword cleaved down upon the [Void Crawler]. Crack! The once intimidating Void creature was split in two with one strike! The [Void Wave Element], seeing its partner killed, was suddenly taken aback. But it quickly regained itsposure, casting [Void Imprisonment]. A pale purple circle appeared above Tinas head and quickly descended. Tina was caught off guard, the circle trapping her within and leaving her immobilized. [Void Wave Element]: @#$%^&*. Speaking in anguage Tina didnt understand, it charged straight at Su Yu. But Su Yu understood. The Wave Element was saying, You killed mypanion, I will kill yours! So, Su Yu faintly smiled, %#&^$#. Wave Element: !!! Why does this human know the Voidmonnguage? But while it was still shocked, Su Yu seized the opportunity to use the [sh Skill] to leave his spot, reappearing next to Tina. Tina, its your turn. Su Yu handed the [Senior Schr Badge] to Tina. Alright, leave it to me! Tina used the badge to quickly break free from the immobilization spell. Charge! ze sh! Her golden aura burned brightly like a me. With a sh to the waist, Tina split the [Void Wave Element] in half, turning it into two pools of ck, oil-like viscous fluid. Tina, great job! Su Yu gave Tina a thumbs up. True to her reputation, Tina was still overpowering even within the Void! But he didnt want to be constantly protected by Tina, so he asked, Tina, do you have anything to Of course. Tina guessed what Su Yu wanted to say, and a light gold BUFF wasunched. [Tina Garcias Blessing]: Your level has been raised to match [Tina Garcia] for one hour. No one beats Tina in understanding people. She knew just what I needed, Su Yu silently nodded as he looked at the buff in his status bar. Chapter 138: 138, [Voidwalker Kassadin] (Extra updates for the bounty of E Curry!) _1 Chapter 138: [Voidwalker Kassadin] (Extra updates for the bounty of E Curry!) _1 Trantor: 549690339 After killing two Void Creatures, Tina sat cross-legged and began to absorb the energy that was dissipating from them. Two minutester, she opened her eyes. How do you feel? Su Yu scanned Tinas status panel with [Insight]. Tina was still at level 50, with no signs of leveling up. I feelthe power inside me is gradually solidifying. Tina slowly exined while experiencing the changes: Because of my bloodline, I rose directly from level 1 to level 3. But this led to a serious problem C my basics were not strong enough. It was difficult for me to defeat opponents of the same tier like Marguerite, let alone challenge those from a higher tier. At this, the corners of Su Yus mouth twitched. Marguerite was the Unicorn Coach and one of the most powerful individuals at their level. For a newbie who had just advanced to the third level, it was an impressive achievement to be able to defeat her, right? Tina continued, But after absorbing the energy here, I feel that my strength has be much more solid. My basics are bing stronger and my battle power is increasing. With growing confidence in her heart, Tina said, If I can absorb more energy here and truly strengthen my basics, not even two Marguerite Coachesbined could best me! Well, then. Lets try to kill as many monsters as possible so we can help you solidify your basics. Su Yu replied, wiping sweat from his forehead. He hadnt expected Marguerite to be a unit of measurement. Hmm, Tina clenched her small fist, filled with fighting spirit. Meanwhile, outside the portal to the high-level secret realm. What was once a dark and quiet testing ground- the fourth underground level- now, was brightly lit, filled with countless shadows of people. Marguerite, did Tina really go in? The Unicorn Commander, Grace, stared at the blue teleportation portal in front of her, frowning deeply. Behind Grace stood seven or eight instructors, each with different expressions. Some were schadenfreude; some were sympathetic; some were indifferent, and some were contemting what to have for lunch But on the surface, all the instructors were staring at Marguerite, putting pressure on her. Im sorry, Commander, Marguerite said low with her head down, exining in detail what had happened. In particr, she expanded on how Tinas knight servant had misled her into entering the portal. Tinas knight servant is a man? Commander Grace was surprised. Is his name Nemesis, perhaps? Yes! How did you know that? Marguerite was shocked. She hadnt said Tinas servants name before, right? Did the Commander have the ability to read minds? I was just guessing. I have met him before, Grace replied as she brushed her hair behind her ears. Navi ck Gold, a goblin merchant and Graces knight-wait Bear Andrews friend, had told her that he was nearly bankrupt due to a bet he had lost on Nemesis. Trying to recoup his losses, Navi ck Gold colloquially entered into a gambler mode, lost even more and was now heavily in debt. Since then, Nemesis had been on his lips as though Nemesis was the cause for his devastating losses. Additionally, during one of Dimas missions, Grace had seen Nemesis with Tina and knew him somewhat. However, she hadnt expected that Nemesis would be Tinas knight servant. Ahem. Grace coughed twice and forced her mind back to the matter at hand. Marguerite, despite this matter not being entirely your fault, you must still bear some responsibility. I know, Commander, Marguerite replied, bowing her head deeply. Ill punish you by Well, if Tinaes out alive, you are off the hook. But if Tina is dead, ording to the Legion rules, youll be fined a years sry. Do you have any objections? The stern expression on Marguerites face eased a bit as she answered, No, Commander. Grace nodded, turning back to the high-level secret realm portal with aplicated look in her eyes. Tina, you have toe out alive! ording to thest prophecy made by the great astrologer Stem before his death, you are the Empiresst hope! If this hope is extinguished, I will be a criminal in the Empire! Back in the Secret Realm. This Secret Realm can be said to be a high-difficulty dungeon. The three mini-bosses, [Soulbound Prophet], [Void Colossus], and [Spellbreaker Mask] are not only abundant in skills and powerful, but they also bring a group of followers, making them hard to defeat. Luckily, the entire dungeon is interconnected, and does not just have one way, like most dungeons. Su Yu and Tina started by leveling up on the lesser foes on the outskirts, allowing Tina to slowly enhance her strength. Only after clearing all the smaller foes, did the two of them confront these mini bosses. This trial dungeon does not offer Experience Points from defeating monsters. However, after defeating the 3 mini bosses, each boss dropped a [Void Stone]. [Void Stone (Normal)]: Enchanting item that provides a 3% chance for your attacks and skills to deal 30% of attack or spell power as true damage. After being upgraded to epic quality, the [Void Stone]s attribute increases to 12% chance to deal 120% of attack or spell power as true damage. When upgraded to legendary quality, the [Void Stone] gains an additional attribute: 3% chance to release [Void Imprisonment]. Its a decent enchanting material for weapons. It greatly improves multi-stage spells such as [Rain of Fire] and [Sequential Fireball]. After a bumpy ride, he and Tina finally arrived in front of the final boss-[Voidwalker Kassadin]. Kassadin, a 20 meters tall void spirit, wielded a dark purple lightsaber. He was d in dark purple armor, with a blood-red cloak draped over his shoulders, obviously a tough boss to handle. Of course, this boss was not his true form, just like [Desert Emperor Azir] in the Tree of Sorrow dungeon, it was just a projection. Tina, lets do it the way we normally do, Su Yu called out. Alright! Tina nodded, standing still, she began to charge her energy. Su Yu also stood still, gathering his magic power, charging a [Thunderfall Skill] of multiple times the normal strength. Once Su Yu had gathered his magic power to the maximum, he nodded at Tina. Tina understood and, like a rocket, darted out. Just a momentter, she came back leading a 20-meter-tall, massively built boss. Within range, Su Yu quickly released the spell in his hand. Ka-ching! A massive thunderbolt descended from the void. The thunderbolt hit the boss, instantly reducing its HP by 10%. His HP is so high! Or is it my magic resistance thats high? Su Yus eyes narrowed. While dealing with the three mini-bosses, his single charged thunderbolt could shave off nearly 40% of their HP! But with the final boss, it only did 10%, it seemed this boss wouldnt be easy to handle! The boss apparently noticed Su Yu. He aimed at him with the tip of his sword and a huge purple-ck magic sphere flew out of his sword at a rapid speed. The magic sphere moved extremely quickly, almost instantly reaching Su Yu. Su Yus eyes widened, he quickly used the [sh Skill] to dodge to the side. However, the magic sphere swirled in the air and formed a 7, continuing its flight towards him after almost a 90-degree turn. Damn! A lock-on skill?! Su Yu was out of options this time and could only forcefully cast a quick [Lightning Shield]. He left the rest up to fate. Buzz The purple-ck magic sphere hit Su Yu andpletely swallowed him in the infinite void. Chapter 139: 139, Fighting Against Kassadin_1 Chapter 139: Fighting Against Kassadin_1 Trantor: 549690339 The violet ck magic sphere was the bosss special skill -[Void Law Sphere]. After being hit by the [Void Law Sphere], Su Yus [Lightning Shield] was directly pierced through, causing his health to plummet drastically. It didnt stop until it hit 16%. Such high damage! Su Yu gasps for breath. And he found that he seemed to be immobile! A debuff named [Void Imprisonment] had appeared on his status bar now. [Void Imprisonment]: Makes you fall into [Imprisonment] state, unable to attack, move or cast spells,sting for 10 minutes. A full 10 minutes of control! So it seemed that the [Void Law Sphere] was not only a high-damage lock-in skill, but also a super control skill! How could this boss have such a powerful skill?! Instinctively, Su Yu wanted to use the [Advanced Schr Badge] to remove the[Imprisonment]state. But before doing so, Su Yu suddenly thought of something: If it was another yer in this situation, and that yer didnt possess the ability to break the control, would the task be a failure? The main plot wouldnt arrange such a deadly scenario, right? Thinking of this, Su Yu decided not to remove the Imprisonment state and would just observe for a while. After imprisoning Su Yu with the [Void Law Sphere], boss [Void Walker Kassadin] did note over to attack him, but instead battled with Tina. The bosss sword danced, scatteringrge pieces of dark purple Void Energy towards Tina. The vast void was almost about to swallow Tina. Tinas will to fight was incredibly strong. Her radiating golden fury was shooting towards the sky, bravely going toe to toe with the boss, and she was not at allgging behind. They battled for 5 minutes. During these 5 minutes, Tina and the boss shed back and forth, each demonstrating their unique skills. Tinas health was gradually falling during the fight, gradually dropping to 50%; The bosss health was also gradually decreasing under Tinas attacks, his health now only remaining 40%. As for Su Yu, he waspletely ignored by the boss. However, Su Yu, with his countless boss battle experiences from his previous life, had a rough idea of what this boss fight was all about. This boss fight was probably meant for Tina to cross the finish line alone, thereby honing her power and will. Hence, he was hit with the [Void Law Sphere]at the beginning of the boss fight and forced into a spectator status. If he used the [Advanced Schr Badge]to shake off the Imprisonment state, he would likely be attacked with the boss second round of [Void Law Sphere], and once again be put into the spectator status, leaving Tina alone to face the boss. After figuring this out, Su Yu felt a bit more at ease. He stood still (not that he could move anyway) and watched Tina and the boss in battle. The battle between Tina and the boss still continued, their health incessantly dwindling. Moreover, as the battle went on, Tina became increasingly familiar with the bosss attack skills, and she was able to dodge and block attacks more efficiently, making her output even higher. Gradually, the bosss health fell to 20%, while Tinas health remained at 33%. If things continue this way, Tina was sure to win! However, Su Yu did not be optimistic, for he knew the boss would not go down that easily. He was sure the boss was still hiding a trick up his sleeve. So, he concentrated all his attention on the boss, preparing to act as soon as the boss made his move. Indeed, once the bosss health fell to 20%, he no longer continued the fight with Tina, rather, he used [Void Walking]to instantly move to a spot 30 meters away. The boss turned to face Tina, praising her in humannguage: Human, your battle talent is impressive, and your bloods power is also very strong. Given time, you will be a formidable presence just like me. Thank you, youre also quite formidable, big guy. Tina knelt on the ground with her sword, panting heavily. This can be said to be the most difficult battle she had ever fought in her life. Truly a formidable adversary. However The bosss tone shifted. As the guardian of high-level secret territories, I cant let you pass easily. You are indeed powerful, but you are still not yet good enough! After finishing his words, the boss again used [Void Walking], instantly appearing in front of Tina. Immediately after. [Energy Pulse]! Huge amounts of Void Energy were swept out from the bosss sword, instantly covering the area where Tina was. [Energy Pulse]was the bosss trump card, with a somewhat special skill mechanism: each time the boss attacked or used a skill, the damage of the next[Energy Pulse]would increase by 5%,sting until the end of the battle.. The boss had previously not used this skill, umtingyers of it and saving it to strike Tina with a fatal blow. Now finally, the time hade! The [Energy Pulse]was too powerful for Tina to withstand. She was immediately knocked over twenty meters away by the Void Energy. Her body waspletely covered by Void Energy and her health hit rock bottom, only leaving thest 3%. Only one hit, and Tinas health was reduced by 30%! Hehe. The bossughed triumphantly. His dark purple sword swung down diagonally, preparing to step forward to end this life. But just at that moment, Su Yu moved! Su Yu quickly used the [Advanced Schr Badge], freeing himself from the [Imprisonment] state. But as soon as he shook off the [Imprisonment]state, the bosss gaze immediately shifted towards him. The sword waved, a dark purple [Void Law Sphere]appearing again and rapidly flying towards him. Su Yu hastily switched to the [Vige Chiefs Staff], and through the [sh Skill], he instantly reached the location where Tina had fallen. Tina was now lying on the ground, her body covered in ayer of dense dark purple energy, her body convulsing non-stop. It was evident that her injuries were severe. However, she was still gritting her teeth, stubbornly fighting against this energy. Tina, hold on! Su Yu took something out of his backpack and threw it to Tina forcefully. At this moment, the [Void Law Sphere]almost immediately appeared in front of him. He had no choice but to hastily hold up the hastily casted [Lightning Shield]. Buzz The [Void Law Sphere]struck Su Yu, but this time he was not killed instantly again. In the past 5 minutes, Su Yus health had naturally returned to its peak. Together with the [Lightning Shield], his health was once again fixed at 16%. As for Tina, she had already got the item thrown by Su Yu. It was a Runesword glowing with cold, engraved with sky-blue runes. [Sorrow of Fungus (consumable item)] Remaining uses: 4 How to use: Shout I inherit you, Father!, and pierce the target with the sword. Effect: If the target is the holders father, it causes 99999 points of true damage; If not, it regenerates 30% of your maximum health. Note: It can be stabbed into oneself. Of course, doing so would make your opponent think youre a fool. Looking at this runesword, Tinas memories were immediately triggered. This was a month ago when she and Su Yu went to the underground cave together to kill the [Mushroom Demon]. It was the sword the [Mushroom Demon]was wielding. Unknowingly, a month had already passed! But now was not the time to reminisce. Tina, with herst bit of strength, raised the [Sorrow of Fungus], thrusting it into herself. I inherit you, Father! Chapter 140: 140. Generous rewards after clearing the stage! _1 Chapter 140: 140. Generous rewards after clearing the stage! _1 Trantor: 549690339 The de of the [Sorrow of Fungus] was just touching Tinas body when the frost energy contained in the sword started spreading throughout Tina, her health bar rapidly rose! Within a second, Tinas health bar had been pulled back up to a safe 33%. She climbed up from the ground, her spirit restored. Thank you, Nemesis. Leave the rest to me! Confidence blossomed on Tinas face as she returned the [Sorrow of Fungus] to Su Yu. Then she raised her long sword once again, charging at the boss, a golden glow making the de extraordinarily bright. This time the boss did not have its ultimate [Energy Pulse] skill, and Tinas health bar was much greater than his. After an intense battle, a swipe from Tina brought the bosss health to zero. The advanced trial dungeon was sessfully cleared! Ding, [Orleans City Saintess (6/100)]pleted, reward evaluation in progress Based on your reward evaluation of S, and as you already own a territory, you receive: Experience Points x2000. One scroll of [Ice Barrier (Epic)]; one [Fortress] Blueprint. yers who already own territories have a chance to receive building blueprints as a reward uponpleting quests. Especially for quests with reward assessments, the higher the score, the greater the chance to get a blueprint, and the better the quality of blueprint. Such as this [Fortress] blueprint they received this time. It is a military building blueprint, always referred as a Little Defensive Miracle by the yers in the past life! Building a [Fortress] on a key part of the way to their territory and stocking up some soldiers would effectively deter the invasion of enemies. Especially for monster sieges and bandit invasions, it is arguably the best cost-effective building. Of course, Su Yus territory is called Aphi, which means Shanghai. If using the [Fortress]blueprint to make a movie named Shanghai Fortress, it might achieve high box office revenues. As for [Ice Barrier (Epic)], its a signature skill of the mages! [Ice Barrier] Epic You are covered by an Ice Barrier, immune to all physical and spell damage for 10 seconds. However, during this period, you cannot attack, move or cast spells. You are also affected by the adverse effect of low temperature, and you cannot cast Ice Barrier again within 30 seconds. Instant. Cooldown time: 5 minutes. Mana consumption: 200 points. [Ice Barrier], also known as Fridge, is one of the most representative skills of the Mage profession. After casting [Ice Barrier], one is immune to all damage, effectively invincible for 10 seconds! If Su Yu knew this skill earlier, he could have used the [Ice Barrier] to resist the bosss [Void Law Sphere] skill, without worrying about being killed instantly. And it is also the mostmonly used life-saving skill for mages. Su Yu is notcking in damage right now, what he needs is a life-saving measure, therefore he is extremely satisfied with this scroll! After the quest waspleted, the blueprint from the scroll went directly into his inventory. Without much thought, Su Yu instantly learned [Ice Barrier], and spent 600,000 spiritual energy coins to upgrade it to Legendary quality. Upon reaching Legendary quality, [Ice Barrier] immediately gained some extra attributes. One of the most readily apparent was that the [Ice Barrier (Epic)] skill icon was grayed out and unusable. But after upgrading to [Ice Barrier (Legendary)], the skill icon became brightly lit and usable. Su Yu immediately cast [Ice Barrier]. Hum- A huge block of solid ice appeared around him, enclosing him tightly within it. His [Void Imprisonment] debuff also disappeared instantly. It appeared that after upgrading to Legendary quality, [Ice Barrier] had gained two new attributes: Can be cast under any conditions and Removes existing controls With these two attributes, the practicality of [Ice Barrier] significantly increased, furthermore, the life-saving effect had significantly improved! Apart from these two effects, the duration of [Ice Barrier] had also significantly increased. Itsted until 15 seconds, an increase of 50% from the Epic level. It can be said that, after [sh Skill], Su Yu gained yet another substantial life-saving skill! After Tina defeated [Voidwalker Kassadin], she sat down on the ground, slowly absorbing the abundant energy from the boss. As she absorbed more and more energy, Tinas aura gradually became more solid and her foundation much stronger. After a while, her golden aura began to boil and roll like boiling water, bing extremely dazzling. Su Yu had experienced this situation before. It was an anomaly that urred during Tinas leveling-up process. He used [Insight] spell to take a look. Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 53 [Tier Three] Profession: Warrior, Knight Preferences: Sweet food, petting cats, showing off her new clothes to Nemesis Indeed, Tina took this opportunity to level up by three levels. Ah! If only I could level up at this speed, that would be great! Su Yu felt a bit envious. The fourthyer of the trial grounds. Two hours had now passed since Tina and Su Yu had entered the secret realm of trials. The instructors who hade here earlier had nearly all left already, only Legion Commander Grace and Instructor Marguerite were still here. Legion Commander, why dont you go tend to your tasks? I can keep an eye on things here by myself, Marguerite suggested somewhat embarrassedly. Alright, but if Tinaes out, notify me immediately! Grace sighed and turned around, preparing to return to the surface. However, just as she was about to leave, the gate to the high-level secret realm suddenly burst into a gleaming blue light. A beautiful young girl d in golden armor stepped out from the gate. Tina, great, you finally came out! Marguerite was initially shocked, then quickly overjoyed, she rushed towards Tina and gave her a big hug. Now that Tina was out, her years sry was secured! Instructor Marguerite Tina was startled by the instructors sudden move, but she also noticed the Legion Commander Grace standing behind her. She quietly said, Legion Commander, why did youe here? Looking at the radiant and stronger Tina, Grace had a lot she wanted to say. But when the words reached her mouth, they turned into, I was just taking a stroll and happened to pass by. Oh, I see. Tina nodded, and said, Instructor Lady, Legion Commander, I couldnt have passed the high-level secret realm test without Nemesis. If it werent for him, Id probably be dead inside by now! At this moment, Su Yu also stepped out from the gate. Listening to Tinas words, he quickly humbly responded, As a knights squire, it is my duty to alleviate worries for the knight. We squires shouldply regardless of what request the knight makes. But Instructor Marguerite was unimpressed and gave him a hard stare. If it werent for this young man, Tina wouldnt be in danger. What kind of squire leads their knight into a pit of fire? Legion Commander Grace also looked deeply at Su Yu. Realizing something, she said to Tina, Tina, remember! Dont be blinded by money. She knew that Nemesis had made several million spiritual energy coins from [Navi ck Gold] and was wealthy. She suspected that Nemesis had be Tinas squire by throwing around lots of money. She cant let Nemesis corrupt this kind, innocent girl with the evil of money. ??? Tina instantly had three question marks above her head. Blinded by money? What was that about? Grace toozy to exin, said, Alright, Tina. Now that youve passed the trial, bring your belongings to the camp tomorrow and officially join the Knights! We are going to hold a wee ceremony for you at the headquarters of the Knights Order, to celebrate your joining! At the same time, Su Yu received a game notification: Ding, your main storyline has been updated! [Saint of Orleans City (7/100)]. Task Requirement: Witness Tina joining the force [Unicorn Knights]. Task Reward: Experience Points X1000. Chapter 141: 141、Tina’s future days might not be too happy_1 Chapter 141: 141Tinas future days might not be too happy_1 Trantor: 549690339 By the way, Tina, how did you manage to pass through the advanced secret realm? The difficulty of the advanced realm is no joke, and you made it through unscathed?! Marguerite looked at Tina with an incredulous expression. Being a third-stage top fighter, Marguerite was only able to pass the intermediate secret realm at most; she dared not even think about the advanced realm, and yet Tina had managed to aplish what she feared to dream of! Considering that she is ten years older than Tina, her age really seems to have gone to waste! Actually, I have Nemesis to thank for making it through. Without him, I wouldnt have been able to pass the advanced secret realm Tina looked at Su Yu, her eyes filled with deep gratitude. She then recounted all the help Su Yu had given her in the secret realm. Especially when he took out 40% of the health of three mini-bosses with a single charged attack, and when he provided the [Mourning of Mushrooms] for her to restore health while fighting with Kassadin, she described in great detail. Listening to Tinas description, Marguerite couldnt help but look at Su Yu with new eyes. Initially, she never paid much attention to Su Yu, a first-stage magician. After all, in Orleans City, you could find first and second-stage magicians on every corner. But now it seemed that once Su Yu grew up, with his powerful spells and clear mind, he could be a mighty existence! But the only regret is that Nemesis is not a druid who cant transform into a bear but a frail spellcaster, which makes him quite impractical. Im afraid Tina might not have a good time in the future. Marguerite looked at Su Yu with a hint of regret. Su Yu noticed the instructors gaze and couldnt help but have three question marks pop up above his head. ??? Whats with that regretful look? Grace, the Legion Commander, stood with her hands on her waist, listening to Tinas entire narration. After hearing Tinas narration, Grace was also amazed and gave Su Yu a few surprised looks. Who would have thought this rich little spellcaster had impressive skills? She walked over to Su Yu, approvingly pped his shoulder, Good job, kid! Its my duty to alleviate the difficulties for the knight, Su Yu humbly replied. No need to be modest! Anyway, you brought back Tina safe and sound, which is a great achievement I dont have much to reward you with, but take this scroll. Grace took a scroll wrapped in mes out of her space ring and handed it to Su Yu. Ding, your favorability with [Grace Windsor] increased by 1, reaching Indifferent. Ding, you received Graces gift, Scroll of [Lesser Fireball Skill] x 1. ?? The legionmander can increase favorability too? Su Yu was slightly shocked. However, considering that shes already into her thirties, and a married woman at that, his desire to increase her favorability dropped considerably. Thank you for your reward, Madam Commander! Hmm. Grace nodded and turned to Tina, Im taking off now, Tina. Dont forget to bring your luggage and report to the knights group tomorrow! Yes, Commander! Tina excitedly clenched her fist. Joining the Unicorn Knights has always been her dream, and she is finally about to realize it tomorrow! Nemesis, we have to work hard together from now on! Tina said as she threw herself into Su Yus arms, burying her face in his chest. Ding, [Tina Garcia]s liking for you increased by +3. Okay, lets do our best. Su Yu patted the back of the girl in his arms. The seventh ring of the Tina Line has ended, and it will be two hours before the next ring task opens. Seizing this opportunity, Su Yu decided to return to his territory once and upgrade his territory technology. On the wide Moonlight River, Su Yu rode a small cargo ship and sailed forward. As he enjoyed the river breeze, he also took stock of the gains from this mission. Scrolls of [Ice Barrier] skill, [Lesser Fireball Skill], 8 pieces of [Tinas Blood], and the blueprint for the [Fortress] building. As for the gains from this time, Su Yu was absolutely satisfied! No need to say more about the skills and blueprints. He had already collected 21 pieces of [Tinas Blood]. Ill put up an enchantmentmission when I get back, so Sky Dragon can try gilding the [Sixth-Stage Temporary Experience Scroll]. Once gilded, I wont have to worry in the real world, Su Yu thought happily. The boat went smoothly downstream and in just over ten minutes, Su Yu sessfully arrived at his territory. As soon as he arrived at the edge of his domain, Su Yu had already noticed the changes in his territory. On the riverfront of the territory, a small wooden dock about ten meters long was already built. With this dock, Su Yu can purchase medium-sized cargo ships for hauling goods to his territory in the future. Pulling in some daily necessities and building materials that the territory urgently needs will speed up the construction of the territory and facilitate trade with Orleans City in the future. Commander Butler Kole had been waiting on the dock for the masters return. Upon Su Yus arrival, Kole immediately performed a respectful salute, Wee back, master!. Hello, Kole! How is the construction of the territory going? Su Yu patted Butler on the shoulder and led the way toward the town. High-speed construction is underway in the territory Kole spoke excitedly about the changes in the territory. First, the poption. In the four hours that Su Yu had been away, another wave of refugees had arrived at the territory, totaling 11, including two average talents. This increased the total poption of the territory to 28! Going by this trend, the territory would be upgraded to a medium-sized vige in a day or two. Then, resources. During the four hours, a great deal of resources was mined, piling up like a small mountain inside the vige with the efforts of the yers. Now the territory panel was updated: [Aphi Vige] Level: Small Vige Poption: 28/200 Prosperity: 97/100 Livability: 100/100 Resources: Food 635, Wood 1171, Stone 147, Gold 12. All types of resources had a lot of surplus, greatly improving the development potential of the territory. Finally, the buildings. There were only six [Residences] when Su Yu left, but now, there were 20 [Residences]! Enough for 60 vigers to live in. A [Logging Camp] and a [Stone Quarry] were also built on the resource points. Of course, the most crucial building, the [Town Hall], was almostplete This was the main reason why Su Yu came back. Once the [Town Hall] was here, the territory could be upgraded technologically! Upgrading technology could improve construction efficiency, unlock more building blueprints, improve the cultural life of the poption, and was essential for future development. Especially if the technology point was early, game technologies like [Nuclear Fusion Technology] and [Manned Moon Landing] could be unlocked in thete game, allowing the game to enter the information age In his past life, the first batch of territories appeared by the end of the second expansion, and only by the time mankind was destroyed, the most advanced territories in the game could only build tanks and warships. In this life, he started building the territory and upgrading technology on the ninth day of the first expansion, almost three months earlier than the first batch of territories in his previous life. This time, he was determined to create those ultimate technologies, including the [Doomsday Mech]! Chapter 142: 142, Gold Plated Scroll _1 Chapter 142: Gold ted Scroll _1 Trantor: 549690339 As Su Yu listened to the butler chattering on, he headed towards the vige. At this moment, amotion could be heard from the mountain path in the east of the vige. Looking towards the east, he saw a figure in red armor atop a white Howling Moon Wolf. Of course, the figure was Sky Dragon. She was merrily eating sticks of roasted meat while riding her Howling Moon Wolf towards the vige. Seeing Su Yu, Sky Dragons eyes brightened, and she waved her arm, shouting, Boss, Ive brought back a new group of refugees, and theres a highly talented individual amongst them! A highly talented individual? Su Yu was taken aback. Only 10% of refugees turn out to be talents, and within these talents, those with exceptional qualities make up only 1%. Did Sky Dragon manage to trigger this probability of one in a thousand? Its no wonder she is a top-ranked fortuitous yer! Su Yu quickly opened the management panel of his territory and checked the details of thetest batch of refugees. Very quickly, he found the highly talented individual. [John] upation: Farmer Trait 1: [High Yield]: Crop yield +30% when farming. Trait 2: [Guidance]: Pass on personal experience to other farmers. Crop yield +20% for farmers receiving guidance. He is a farming talent! Kole. Su Yu looked at the old butler beside him. Yes, Sir, Kole quickly bowed in response. There is a farmer named John among the newest refugees. Appoint him as the Agricultural Advisor of our territory, where he will be responsible for all the farnd in the territory. As for his wageyou decide, as long as it is within reason. Understood, Sir! Su Yu nodded towards the little girl, giving a thumbs up, Good job, Sky Dragon! How about you take charge of receiving future refugees for us? Doesnt that mean I have to go once every two hours? the little girl hesitated. Not every two hours. Just drop by whenever youre around and remember about it. In exchange, you dont have to pay for the Panda Pet anymore. Sky Dragon pondered for a bit, then nodded and said, Alright, Ill do my part when Ie byBoss, Im going hunting now! Sky Dragon was now hooked on hunting. Since her arrival in the territory, she had led a group for hunting three times, capturing dozens of wild chickens, rabbits, pigs, and goats. She thoroughly enjoyed this process, and most importantly, she could eat loads of roasted meat in the game without gaining weight! To someone whose physical diet was usually restricted in real life, this was simply heaven! Wait a minute. Sucalled out to her. What is it? Sky Dragon turned around. I need your help for something. As Su Yu spoke, he sent her an Enchantment Request. Ding. Do you ept yer Nemesiss enchantment request? ept. An enchantment panel popped up in front of Sky Dragon. Enchantment form: [SIXTH GRADE TEMPORARY EXPERIENCE SCROLL] + [Tinas Blood] = [SIXTH GRADE GOLD COLORED TEMPORARY EXPERIENCE SCROLL] with 1.3% sess rate. Sixth Grade Temporary Experience Seeing the name of the scroll, Sky Dragon was startled, Boss, you have another scroll Is it the same as the onest time? The name of this scroll was exactly the same as that one in Su Yus first video. This was an amazing scroll! The boss made tens of millions from a single video using it, and that spoke volumes! Shh, dont let this slip. Its my trump card. Su Yu made a silence gesture. Okay, I wont tell anyone. Sky Dragon hesitantly agreed, while her hand hovered over the[Enchant]button. The enchantment ceremony began. Fresh red and gold-tinged blood dripped onto the scroll, resulting in the scrolls surface emitting a misty golden glow. But not long after, the golden glow on the surface of the scroll disappeared, signaling the failure of the first enchantment attempt. Su Yu knew that the high probability meant it wouldnt seed in one try. He quickly took out the second [Blood of Tina] and ced it on the scroll, while Sky Dragon continued to click on the [Enchant] button. Finally, after using fifteen [Blood of Tina], the golden glow on the surface of the scroll did not fade away. Instead, it burst forth into an even more dazzling golden light! The enchantment of the scroll was sessful! Taking a bite of her roasted meat, Sky Dragon sighed in relief: Ive finally seeded! A 1.3% sess rate, sess in 15 tries, I wouldnt call that unlucky! But her curiosity was piqued: Boss, what good does gold ting do? Is it just for show? yers obtained some gold-colored equipment during grinding, but the attributes of the gold equipment were no different from ordinary ones. Therefore, in the yers mind, gold color was just cooler to look at, and had no real benefits. Su Yu knew the benefits of gold-colored equipment, but he had never purchased any. This was because even legendary-tier equipment could not provide a better attribute boost than level three ordinary equipment. There was no need to buy these gold-colored equipment, especially not when they could be acquiredter at level three. Hearing the little girls question, Su Yu smiled and said, To be honest, gold-colored equipment can actually be brought into the real world. Hmph! Youre trying to trick me! Sky Dragon couldnt help but give Su Yu a rolled-eye look. Bringing equipment into reality? Did he think he was writing a novel? How could something so outrageous happen? Alright, no more fooling around. See you, boss! With a squeeze of her thighs, Sky Dragon spurred on her mount: Rush, Snowy, lets go! Awoo! The Howling Moon Wolf, Snowy, started running towards the north at full speed. Goodbye, Sky Dragon. Su Yu looked at the sixth-grade experience scroll with a golden border in his backpack, feeling especially content. After bidding goodbye to Sky Dragon, Su Yu headed towards the newly constructed [Town Hall]. The [Town Hall] was a two-story building constructed with a mixture of stone and wood, with a stone wall on the first floor and the roof and second floor made entirely of wood. However, it was only a level one town hall, which was generally very basic. Compared to the rural farmhouses in the real world, it fell short. One could only describe it as barely functioning. Standing at the entrance of the Town Hall was old carpenter Brooke, admiring the building he had led the construction of. Seeing Su Yu approaching, he quickly bowed: Honorable lord, wee. Brooke, you did a good job. Su Yu encouragingly patted his shoulder, Ive decided to raise your wage by ten percent. Keep up the good work! Thank you, lord! The old carpenter was extremely excited. If it werent for the lords willingness to take them in, they might have starved to death. Now, not only did the lord provide them with good food and drinks, but he also gave them high wages. Where else could they possibly find such a generous lord? Ding! [Carpenter Brooke]s loyalty increased to 100 points. Su Yu smiled. He took out a giant map, about the height of a person, from his bag and handed it to the old carpenter: Find some people to help you hang this map on the wall of the town hall. By yourmand, lord! The old carpenter epted the scroll and immediately got to work. Su Yu stepped into the town hall. The Town Hall was empty at the moment, with a wooden operation desk ced at the side of the hall. This operation desk was probably where they would conduct Territory Technology research. Su Yu approached and opened the operation desk. A virtual control panel emerged before his eyes. Chapter 144: 144, Epic Talent_1 Chapter 144: Epic Talent_1 Trantor: 549690339 Daves home was a three-story vi. A hugewn upied the front yard of the vi, while a swimming pool resided in the back yard, and pots containing mutated nts like the Cabbage-pult and Pea Shooter were ced on the roof. In the yard, Dave led Su Yu around, introducing him to the mutated nts that he had acquired unintentionally, their cultivation and breeding process, and the special abilities of each nt. After the introduction, he patted the round head of the [Wall-nut] and said, My lord, its not that I dont want to move to your territory, but I cant! These mutated nts are the fruits of my painstakingbors. I invested significant amounts of time, energy, and money into them. Hence, my neighbors have dubbed me Crazy Dave, mocking my obsession as madness. Even if you offer a lot of money, I wont abandon these nts to move to your territory. Is that so? Su Yu came forward too and patted the round head of the [Wall-nut]. The [Wall-nut] seemed to enjoy being touched by Dave with a satisfied expression. However, as soon as Su Yu touched it, the [Wall-nut] immediately changed its demeanor, ring at Su Yu with anger. The other nts, like the Pea Shooter, also turned towards him, aiming their muzzles at Su Yu and casting warning nces at him. Without paying any attention to the nts, Su Yu turned to Dave, If youre unwilling to go with me because of these nts, we can find another solution For example, can we transnt these nts to my territory? Im afraid thats not possible. Dave shook his head. The roots of mutated nts prate down several dozen meters. Transntation would undoubtedly damage their root systems. Add to that the unsuitable soil and water, they would mostly wither and die not long after being moved. Hmm. Su Yu pondered, rubbing his chin. Daves primary issue was his reluctance to leave these mutated nts. Given that these nts cannot be translocated, he wouldnt leave the garden under any circumstances. This issue seemed unsolvable, but there was indeed a usible solution. Soon enough, Su Yu thought of a solution, smiling, Dave, after observing your mutated nts, I am quite intrigued and decided to invest in your research. Investment? Dave was somewhat baffled. Wasnt the lord supposed to sway him into tilling his territory? Why the sudden change of heart? Su Yu continued, Thats correct, investment. For theing years, I will pay you two hundred units of spiritual energy daily and an additional five thousand spiritual energy coins per month as Mutated nt Research Funds. You dont have to do anything but focus on your research. Really? This is incredible! Dave got excited. Was this a pie dropping from the sky? Of course, theres a condition. Whats the condition? The condition is that all seeds produced by your mutated nts must be sown in my territory. I will set aside a special garden for these seeds. What do you think? Su Yu seriously proposed. Su Yu understood that Dave only wished to stay with his beloved mutated nts. Yet, these mutated nts possess a lifespan, a much shorter lifespanpared to regr nts. For instance, a nt like the Pea Shooter would onlyst two or three months from maturity to death. If Dave sows all his seeds in his territory, over time, as nts here gradually die off while the poption in his territory thrives, Dave would eventually settle down in his territory. This Dave was tempted. Studying mutated nts is the same no matter where. If he went to Su Yus territory, he would earn over ten thousand spiritual energy coins every month. With his living expenses taken care of and extra cash for research, his conditions would be much better than at present! However, he was worried about something: now, the lord seemed keen on investing in his mutated nt research. But what if the lord lost interest in the future, but his mutated nt garden in his territory was already established, wouldnt that be awkward? Pondering about it, Dave voiced his concerns. On hearing Daves worries, Su Yu, with a smile, retrieved a [Magic Contract] from his backpack: If that concerns you, we shall sign a contract. The [Magic Contract], priced at two thousand spiritual energy coins, was a magical document produced by the Silver Pine Tower, one of the Empires topmost powers. Parties could sign agreements on it. Once the contract was signed by both parties, the [Magic Contract] became binding. If anyone breaches the contract, it would be seen as an affront to the authority of Silver Pine Tower and consequently bear their wrath. In other words, once you sign the [Magic Contract], you must be prepared to fulfill it without any breach. Is this the two thousand coin [Magic Contract]? Dave was taken aback. The [Magic Contract] has powerful binding power. Contract signing ensures that he doesnt have to worry about Su Yu breaching it, as both he and his nts would be protected. Thats correct. This is a [Magic Contract]. If youre worried, we can sign a long-term co-operation agreement: 3 years, 5 years, 10 years or even 20, 30 years. Lets sign for 30 years! Dave quickly agreed. In signing such an agreement, the longer the tenure, the more beneficial it is to him, offering more overall protection for him and his nts. Fortunately, Su Yu had the same idea. The longer Dave stayed in his territory, the more advantageous it was for him. Alright then, let us sign a 30-year [Magic Contract]. I will pay you two hundred spiritual energy coins daily. An additional five thousand will be given as research funds every month. I will also allocate a fertile plot ofnd for setting up a Mutated nt Garden Su Yu was ecstatic inside but maintained hisposure on the surface. After listing out all the civic obligations of both parties on the [Magic Contract], Su Yu handed the contract to Dave. Dave received the contract with trembling hands, feeling as if he was dreaming. He carefully read the contract seven or eight times to confirm its uracy, after which he earnestly signed his name on the contract. Ding! Your territory, [Aphi Vige], has gained the Epic quality talent, [Crazy Dave]. [Crazy Dave] Epic upation: Farmer Trait 1: [nting Expert]: Increase crop yield by 50% when farming. Trait 2: [nt Mutation]: When nting crops, there is a small chance of mutation happening; 70% chance of beneficial mutation, 30% chance of harmful mutation. Trait 3: [Mutated nt Breeding]: Can breed unique mutated nts, some of which have extremely highbat power. Trait 4: [Inspire Mutated nts]: Increases attack power by 30%, health by 50%, and attack speed by 40% for all mutated nts within a 40 meters radius. Chapter 145: 145, Tina Line 6-9 Loop (for Dao Yuling’s rewards and more!)_1 Chapter 145: Tina Line 6-9 Loop (for Dao Yulings rewards and more!)_1 Trantor: 549690339 After receiving this system prompt, the only thing left in Su Yus heart was pure delight! This was the gameste-stage Treasure Basin! He couldnt even imagine just how massive the benefits Dave would bring to his territory would be in the end game! Looking at the honest and straightforward Dave in front of him, Su Yu felt more and more pleased the longer he looked. Should I really recruit Dave into my harem? Su Yu fell into contemtion. As for Dave Dave was extremely satisfied with the contract! With this contract, he would no longer need to worry about his livelihood and could focus entirely on researching Demonic nts. All of this, was thanks to Su Yu! So, Dave got down one knee and swore loyalty to Su Yu, My lord, I, Dave, wish to pledge my loyalty to you! Alright, alright, hurry up and rise. Well be on the same side from now on! Su Yu kindly helped Dave up. He looked at the time, there was still one hour before Tinas mission started. There was still plenty of time. So Su Yuughed, Dave, how about I take you to my territory to have a look? Once we get to the territory, Ill pick out a block of the most fertilend for you to develop a ntation, and at the same time, introduce the other residents to you. Please wait a moment, my lord, Dave apologized as he retreated back into his house. After a while, Dave walked out of his house, holding a shining golden [Nut Wall] in his hands. My lord, thank you so much for providing me with so much capital to research Demonic nts. I dont have anything valuable to offer you in return. This is a golden Nut Wall that I identally grew a few days ago. Its the only golden nt Ive ever grown in my farming career! If you dont mind, I would like to gift it to you! Ding, youve received Daves gift, [Nut Wall (Golden)]x1. [Nut Wall (Golden, Consumable)]: Summons a 1.5 meters high Nut Wall at the target location, the Nut Wall has high defence and health. Remaining uses: 1 Thank you! Su Yu dly epted the [Nut Wall]. To his surprise, recruiting Dave had even brought unexpected delights! A golden [Nut Wall]! Everything that could be brought into reality was good stuff, and he had never even heard of golden nts in his previous life! Dave, if you ever grow golden nts again in the future, remember to save them for me. Ill pay a high price for them! Su Yu reminded him. No need, my lord. As a return for your kindness, I will give you all the golden nts that I grow, Dave immediately replied. Thank you, Dave! Lets go, back to the territory! Friendlily, Su Yu put an arm around Daves shoulder and they headed towards the territory. In the following hour, Su Yu took Dave back to his territory. He gathered the core members of the territory and held a grand wee ceremony for Dave. After the wee ceremony, Su Yu selected a piece of the most fertile farnd for Dave. Under the direction of the old carpenter Brooke, a ntation was built on the farnd as anding spot for Dave. Dave could feel the attention that Lord Su Yu paid to him from the actions. Dave was deeply moved, he made a silent vow in his heart that he must not let his lords hopes down and strive to cultivate better-quality Demonic nts! Especially the Sunflower, that the lord mentioned that it can produce more sunlight, had be his primary research focus. He must research this type of [Sunflower] as soon as possible, to reward Lord Su Yu! After recruiting [Crazy Dave], there wasnt much else to do. For the following two days, other than working on construction in his territory, Su Yupleted the 7-9 rounds of Tinas mission smoothly. These three rounds of the mission told a story about Feng Aotian: In the 7th round of the mission, Tina was honored to join the Unicorn Legion. However, someone in the Legion didnt like her. That person was Kimberly, a senior sister who had joined the Legion four years earlier than her. Kimberly felt that Tina, a lowly country girl, was not worthy of owning noble unicorns. Plus, Tina had taken the opportunity for her sister to join the Unicorn Knights. As a result, Kimberly made things very difficult for Tina, from sarcastic taunting at celebratory banquets to isting Tina with the sisters, to tripping her up in every way possible. Tina didnt want to have a conflict with this senior sister because behind her was a big familythe Windsor Family. However, unexpectedly, seeing that Tina was not fighting back, Kimberly became more aggressive. Finally, after being ridiculed at a banquet, Tina could bear it no longer. In the 8th round of the mission, Tina issued a duel challenge to Kimberly. Of course, Kimberly dly epted, as she was a powerful figure at the peak of the third rank, and Tina had just entered the third rank. Who would win and who would lose was obvious, right? But the fact was, it wasnt that simple. In the Unicorn Duel Arena, Tina only used one move! Yes, just one move, and the previously favored Kimberly was beaten to vomiting blood and flying off! This was still due to Tinas restraint. If Tina hadnt held back, it would have been entirely possible for Kimberly to be killed in one move. This startling blow caused a huge stir among the knights, and Tina became the talk of the town. In just half a day, everyone in the Knights knew the name Tina Garcia, and countless people were shocked. As Tina walked down the street, people pointed and whispered at her everywherepeople who were either scared, frightened, envious, or surprised But Tina didnt feel any sense of aplishment from defeating Kimberly. She only thought about defeating herself and bing stronger! She declined all invitations to banquets from nobles and big businessmen, deciding to go out for a fight to seize opportunities to get stronger. The mission also reached the 9th round. For the 9th mission round, with the help from Su Yu, the two bravely ventured into the secret territory, battled monsters, and slew hundreds of small andrge monsters. Tina absorbed the essence blood of the monsters and leveled up to Level 60, bing a fourth-order powerhouse! But in Orleans City, the turbulence did not stop. After being defeated by Tina with one move, Kimberly was almost going mad. She tried tomit suicide several times, but she failed due to her fear of pain. Her enormous hatred gnawed on her sanity. So she used her parents connections to look for people to help her take revenge. Eventually she found a suitable candidate, the instructor of the Unicorn KnightsMegan. Instructor Megan was a powerhouse at the peak of the fourth order, born into a powerless aristocratic family. Under the pressure of the Windsor familys power, along with Kimberlys promised benefit of 100,000 spiritual energy coins, Megan gritted her teeth and epted, deciding to teach Tina a lesson. So, Instructor Megan publicly insulted Tina and challenged her to a duel. Tina initially didnt want to ept the challenge, but under Su Yus insistence, she agreed to the duel. In the end, they both agreed to have a formal duel in therge arena in the center of Orleans City for the 10th round of the mission. The grandstand of therge arena can amodate twenty to thirty thousand spectators. They were about topete fairly under the gaze of the citys entire poption. Thats all the plot for Rounds 7 to 9 in Tinas storyline. For Su Yu, the rewards for these three rounds are quite ordinary, apart from the [Summoning Rock Element] skill scroll, the rest are just some equipment, potions, and spiritual energy coins. However, Su Yu didnt care, as the 10th round of the mission was about to start, and the rewards for rounds in multiples of five are always good. He was also looking forward to the reward for the 10th round. What would he get this time? Chapter 146: 146, The Second Epic Poet_1 Chapter 146: The Second Epic Poet_1 Trantor: 549690339 Tinas 10th Dimension, Orleans City Big Arena. Last time because of Dimas affair, Tina had dueled here with the female knight. Butst time Tina and the female knight were only at stage one, caused a minor impact, with only about two to three thousand people in the stand. But this time, Tina was promoted to the fourth stage! And her opponent was a fourth stage instructor! Fourth stage was already considered upper-middle strength in Orleans City, for the citizens of Orleans City, these are unattainable persons of great importance! Hearing the news about two bigwigs going to duel in the arena, the whole Orleans City was stirred! The citys residents spread the news and brought family and friends to watch the battle. The whole arena was packed, with nearly thirty thousand seats filled, and even in passageways, many people were sitting or standing. The grand arena was bubbling with people, the audience waving their arms and cheering loudly, anticipating the start of the duel. Three minutes before the start of the duel, Tina, dressed in golden armor and riding a unicorn, slowly came out from the east gate of the duel arena. Seeing Tinae out, the crowds eyes were instantly focused on her. This was Tinas first time being watched by so many people at the same time, she felt slightly jittery. But remembering the humiliation she received from Instructor Megan at the banquet, and also, in front of Nemesis, Tinas heart immediately ignited mes of rage. She clenched her fists: Today, I will surely beat you! Seeing the imposing Tina, there was, suddenly, a thunderous cheer from the stands: Look, this is the fourth stage unicorn knight! Wow, the golden outfit looks so beautiful! What a majestic unicorn! I wonder if I could touch it one day in my lifetime! Tina is a girl from amon family, I will always support you! Go for it! Among these cheers, there were also quite a few discordant voices: Ha, this is that fourth-stage trash that forcibly enhanced their stage with drugs? I bet she will lose! Forcibly enhancing with drugs? How do you know? Nonsense, do you need to know? She was stage one a month ago and she is at stage four now. You think she didnt use any forbidden drugs and cultivated all by herself, would you believe that? He-he, you are right, thebat power of one who forcibly enhances with drugs is not that great, Tina will surely lose this time! A forced-enhancement fourth-stage trash versus an experienced fourth-stage instructor, whoa, this is like giving us money! How much did you bet? 2000 spiritual energy coins. 2000! so much? Of course! The odds at Vinack Golds side was 1.19:5.69, only by betting on Instructor Megan can you get 19% profit, how could I not bet more? 1.19:5.69, hearing you makes me want to bet too! Want to bet then hurry up! Otherwise, the odds will decrease again. After Tina appeared, Megan, dressed in silver armor and riding a unicorn, exited from the west gate of the arena. The stand erupted with cheers again: Go Megan! Take down that disrespectful little girl! All my money is on you, you cant lose! Show us the grace of the Unicorn Knights instructors! Facing the cheers from the stands, Instructor Megans brows furrowed. She hated the ants in the stands pointing fingers at her. Moreover, this environment reminded her of the diatorial arena, in which she was no different from a dueling beast. Regardless, as long as she defeated Tina, she could attain tremendous honor as well as 100,000 spiritual energy coins. Her family could also hitch a ride on the Windsor Family, leading to their revival! With this notion, Megan cast aside her distractions and aimed hernce at Tina, Tina, today I will give you a good lesson, you have to pay the price for disrespecting seniors and elder sisters! Tina didnt bother to argue, coldly responding, Well then,e and try it. I will not lose! Simultaneously, she silently said to herself, Even if its for the house, I absolutely cannot lose! Before this duel started, persuaded by Su Yu, Tina mortgaged her house for 200,000 spiritual energy coins, all of which were bet on her own victory in Vena ckgolds betting pool. If she won, she could receive millions of spiritual energy coins. If she lost, shed be homeless. Tina raised her head and nced at the highest stands where Su Yu was located and subtly nodded. This duel, she must win, not lose! At the highest stadium stands in the big arena, Su Yu stood here, overlooking the entire duel field. Beside him stood a short goblin with green skin, who was none other than [Venack Gold]. At this moment, Venack Gold respectfully bowed to Su Yu, saying, Nemesis boss, everything has been arranged ording to your wishes. Hmm, okay then, the duel is about to start, lets watch the duel first. Su Yu beckoned Venack Gold to stand by his side. The story of Su Yu and Venack Gold began two days ago. As mentioned earlier, Venack Gold went bankrupt because of gambling and owed a butt load of gambling debts. Under thepulsion of the creditor, Venack Gold decided to end his life by jumping into the river so as not to burden his family. Two days ago, he was preparing to jump into the Moonlight River. Upon receiving news from Venack Golds friendBear Andrew, Su Yu arrived in time to save him at the river. After saving Venack Gold, Su Yu only said one sentence to him: Venack Gold, you dont need to die. I have a way to help you pay your debts. The proviso is that you join my territory and be my subordinate. Then, Su Yus territory gained another epic talent. [Venack Gold] Epic Profession: Merchant Trait 1:[Keen Sense]: Can keenly sense price fluctuations in the bulkmodity market and earn revenue through buying low and selling high. Trait 2:[Open a Betting Pool]: Sets up betting pools and, due to good reputation, can attractrge numbers of people to ce bets. Trait 3:[Goblin Trade]: Can obtain local specialties of the Goblin Kingdom from various channels at a fair price. Trait 4:[Guild Management]: Proficient in guild operation and management. When running a guild, guild operation efficiency +30%. Venack Gold is the second epic talent in Su Yus territory. After Venack Gold joined, Su Yu helped him pay off all his debts, totaling 2.3 million spiritual energy coins. Is it worth it to spend 2.3 million spiritual energy coins to acquire an epic talent? The answer is definitely no. But Su Yu didnt regret it, because he could make use of Venack Golds [Open a Betting Pool] trait to earn even more spiritual energy coins! At that time, instructor Megan happened to provoke Tina at the banquet. So, Su Yu instigated Tina to duel Megan at the big arena in Orleans city. At the same time, to form an Interest Community with Tina, he let her mortgage her house to participate in the bet. Thest time, Su Yu participated in a bet, the maximum wager was only limited to one million spiritual energy coins. Now that Su Yu is personally running the bank, the money he can earn is limitless! By the time Tina wins the game, they will have made a fortune! Chapter 147: 147, 20 million market cap _1 Chapter 147: 20 million market cap _1 Trantor: 549690339 At the highest viewing tform, Veena ckgold quietly gave Su Yu a report while watching the two powerful duelists confronting each other below. Nemesis, the betting lines have been set. The wagers on Miss Tina winning are less than five hundred thousand spiritual energy coins. Bets on Megan winning, however, total up to twenty-one million spiritual energy coins! Twenty-one million? That much? Su Yu raised an eyebrow. Originally, he had estimated the amount to be about ten million. As the house, Su Yu would need to pay two to three million to those who bet on Tinas victory, give several tens of thousands to the organizers, and pay some tax. After all these ouys, he would have approximately seven to eight million spiritual energy coins in profits. Surprisingly, the total bets exceeded his prediction! With this new estimate, he now stood to make nearly fifteen million spiritual energy coins! Yes. Veena ckgold said, chuckling nervously, Just before the betting closed, members of the Windsor Family came to wager five million on Megans victory. They must have something up their sleeves. As Veena ckgold spoke, he pointed to a reserved viewing tform below. Following his gaze, Su Yu spotted Kimberly and some unfamiliar nobles, presumably members of the Windsor Family. It was worth noting that the legionmander, Grace, was also a member of the Windsor Family. Su Yu noticed her presence near Kimberly. Nemesis, if Miss Tina wins this duel, we will have definitely offended the Windsor Family! Veena ckgold stated, sounding worried. So what if we offend them? All is fair in bets and wagers. Su Yu shrugged indifferently, We cant purposely lose the bet to please them, can we? Otherwise, who will cover these losses ? I definitely cant afford it. Veena ckgold replied defeated, hisughter tinged with regret. Alright, lets focus on the duel and leave these concerns forter. Su Yus gaze descended onto the dueling field. At this moment, the duel below had entered its countdown phase. 10, 9, 83, 2, 1, 0. The countdown ended. Upon the refereesmand, Tina and Megans duel officially began! Both contestants unleashed their furious energies simultaneously. Tina was aze with a blinding golden light, her entire form glowing resplendently like a miniature statue made of gold. Megan, on the other hand, was engulfed in a deep blue hue, her aura as profound and unfathomable as the sea itself. The two had initially been nearly a hundred meters apart. With themencement of the duel, both contestants charged at each other on their unicorns. The golden and blue lights rapidly converged. Boom! Apanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the two figures collided violently like crashingets. The space around them distorted and shuddered, causing the sturdy ground of the arena to fracture like a spider web. Every spectator present could feel the ground trembling beneath their feet! Thankfully, a protective barrier had been erected above the dueling field by the organizers to filter strong light and loud noises. Otherwise, likely a third of the ordinary spectators present wouldve swooned from the impact of Tina and Megans collision! Ah! Is this the power of a rank four warrior? Its overwhelmingly powerful! one of the spectators in the crowd rubbed at his ringing ears. Yes, indeed. The light was so ring, I almost went blind! And this light has been filtered by the protective barrier! Wait, did you notice? Tina seems to be doing really well! Youre right! Not only is Tina unharmed, Megan seems to be struggling? Yes, indeed? What is going on? The spectators started chattering noisily. The first sh of the duel below had concluded. In the previous sh, Tinas strike directly knocked Megan off bnce. Even a casual observer could tell that Tina had clearlye out on top in the sh! Megan had not expected Tina to be this strong. She is at the peak of the fourth stage! Tina has only just entered the fourth stage, why would she lose to Tina in a pure power contest? Tina, have you really be this strong? Megan steadied herself with hernce, her rage starting to dissipate. Its faith that made me stronger, Tina replied seriously. Faith? Yes, the belief in continuously growing stronger, surpassing myself! Its not something you, whose mind has been corrupted by a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins from the Windsor family, could understand. Besides faith, there was something else Tina didnt mention. Megan shouldnt have embarrassed her in front of Nemesis. If Megan had tried to undermine her behind her back, for the sake of their instructor, she might have been able to tolerate it. But humiliating her in front of Nemesis was something she absolutely could not endure! Seemingly sensing the gaze of Nemesis from the stand, a strong will to fight erupted in Tinas clear eyes! She raised hernce high again, her fighting spirit piercing the sky, and charged on her unicorn. Upon hearing a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins, anger waged through Megan. The phrase instantly broke her mental defenses. So Tina already knew? For a mere hundred thousand spiritual energy coins, she abandoned her integrity as an instructor to unjustly torment a student shes simply The remorse in Megans heart was seeded by a great decline in her will to fight. Facing the furiously charging Tina, she braced herself and barely managed to parry. The oue of the following fight was predictable. Megan, who was weaker than Tina in overall strength and nowcked the will to fight, was naturally suppressed by Tina. Just a minuteter, Megan was backed into a corner of the dueling arena, signs of failure were beginning to show. The spectators on the stands were bewildered at the sight of Megan being steamrolled by Tina! This waspletely different from what they had expected! How could a novice in the fourth stage suppress a peak fourth-stager? Was this a fixed match? Or had Tina been concealing her strength? Ahhhh! My two thousand spiritual energy coins! one person roared from the stands. Dont worry, bro! Its not over yet! Theres still a chance for a turnaround! In the VIP area of the Windsor family, someone was also troubled. This person was Kimberlys father C Kerton Windsor. Kerton was a portly middle-aged man with the strength of only the fourth stage. Seeing Megan being suppressed the whole time, his expression was very unsightly: Grace, somethings wrong with the duel down there! How can a neer to the fourth stage suppress a peak fourth-stager? Tell me how! Kerton, influenced by his daughter, had bet five million spiritual energy coins on Megan. Initially thinking to earn a bit of extra cash, it now seemed he was on the verge of losing everything! Commander Grace stayed calm, sitting in her seat without moving. This time she had not bet on anyone, so it didnt matter to her whether Megan or Tina won, as long as Tina could survive. Upon hearing Kertonsment, she replied indifferently: Hah, my foolish brother! What trickery are you referring to? As a sixth-stage Sanctuary stronger, would I not see if there were any? Kerton immediately countered: Although you are a Sancturay of the sixth stage, you still might have missed something Just as he was about to continue, his daugther Kimberly suddenly whispered in his ear: Dad, dont worry! Ive prepared a bottle of sixth stage Eternal Fury potion for Instructor Megan, and Ive also bribed the referee After hearing his daughters words, Kertons expression instantly brightened. Hump! He snorted, turned around to sit back down, and continued watching the duel. Meanwhile, Grace furrowed her brows. Kimberlys voice was low, but as a sixth-stage strong, Grace had clearly heard her nieces words. She immediately realized that Tina might be in danger! So Grace stood up from her seat, the red rage emerged around her body like viscous glue. If Tina were in danger, she would immediately swoop down to the rescue! Chapter 148: 148、Megan cheats, Tina and Su Yu’s Counterattack_1 Chapter 148: 148Megan cheats, Tina and Su Yus Counterattack_1 Trantor: 549690339 At this moment in the duelling arena. As time passed, Megans disadvantage was continuously widening. Tinas goldennce, charged with surging rage, cornered Megan into a corner of the duel field. In the corner, there was no room to dodge. If it wasnt for Megans rich battle experience, she would have been defeated by now. However, Megan knew she couldnt lose! If she lost, it would be the end for her and her family! Kimberly, the vindictive devil, would surely vent her anger at her family, and then Upon thinking of that, Megan couldnt help but shudder. But she also remembered the potion Kimberly gave her before the duel began. A sixth-rank potion, [Eternal Fury]. After drinking it, her strength would instantly double, and she could easily defeat Tina with this explosive increase in power! However, the cost was severe; her strength would plummet to third or even second rank. Originally, she didnt want to drink it, but now she had no choice. A fierce determination shed in Megans eyes. Hah! She swung hernce, using herst resort technique [Angry Spear Thunder Strike]. The tip swung out, creating arcs of electricity in the originally deep blue rage which boosted the attacks power multifold! Tina didnt dare to block this powerful move directly and promptly maneuvered her unicorn to dodge backward. Megan didnt pursue Tina; instead, she reached into her pocket with her left hand and pulled out a yellowish bottle. Without any hesitation, she tilted her head back, gulping down the contents of the bottle. Under the stimtion of the potion, Megans body instantly expanded, her skin turning a crimson color with cracks all over, which looked extremely ugly. However, her momentum was also rising drastically, and in an instant, her strength doubled! Is this the sixth-ranked [Eternal Fury Potion]?! At the top of the observation terrace, Su Yu was greatly shocked. Su Yu had participated in advanced schr assessments before, which included questions about the [Eternal Fury Potion], so he recognized it at first nce. However, the problem was that before the current duel started, Tina and Megan signed a pre-duel agreement: Apart from equipment and mounts, neither party can use any consumables, to ensure a fair duel. Su Yu was present when the agreement was signed. Back then, Su Yu thought the agreement was to constrain Tina from using consumables like [Good Vige Sword] to turn the tables dramatically. Considering Tinas invincibility at the same rank and that the agreement would deter the Windsor family from any tricks, Su Yu advised Tina to sign the agreement. Little did he expect, Megan was the first to break the agreement by drinking the potion. This was tant cheating! In the center of the arena, Tina also raised an objection to the referee: Referee, Megan cheated! ording to the agreement signed before, neither of us could use any potion-type consumables. You were there when the agreement was signed. I ask you to dere Megans loss! The referee was a fourth-rank middle-aged warrior. However, he didnt seem to want to dere Megans loss, but smiled and said, Tina, Megan did not cheat, the fight continues! Why? She clearly drank the potion! Tina was shocked and angry. Because Megans secondary profession is a potion maker. ording to regtions, potions made by potion makers themselves are considered weapons, not consumables. The referee boldly argued, You surely cant expect a potion maker to not drink potions during a duel, can you? Potion maker? Tina was incredulous, Potions made by potion makers themselves are considered weapons, but for a potion of this rank, could Megan even make it herself? Though Tina didnt recognize the [Eternal Fury] potion, based on its effects, she didnt believe Megan could brew it; otherwise, Megan would have gained fame in the legion long ago. Yes, this potion was made by Megan in front of me. the referee lied. You Tina was still trying to defend herself. But at this moment, Megan had driven her unicorn to quickly approach her. With no other choice, Tina had to give up arguing with the referee and took a defensive stance. Boom! Once again, the golden and blue figures collided. But this time, Tina and her horse were pushed back several meters. Obviously, Tina was no longer a match for Megan in terms of brute strength. Seeing Tina at a disadvantage, the crowd in the stands immediately erupted in cheers! Many people in the audience had bet on Megans victory. Seeing the chances of a win leaning towards them was certainly a cause for celebration. Yet, in the highest part of the stands, Su Yu was seething with anger! The creation of the [Eternal Fury] potion required at least the skills of an advanced alchemist, and the youngest advanced alchemist in the Empire was 40 years old. Megan was only in her thirties. To im that she made it herself was an outright lie! The Windsor family cant carry on like this! With that thought, Su Yu leaned on the rail of the stand with his right hand, leapt upwards, and jumped straight down from the stand. Boss, what are you doing?! Veena ckgold was shocked and hurriedly reached out to catch Su Yu. But it was toote, Su Yu had already jumped off the stand. What is the boss nning to do? Cant afford to pay after losing too much, so hes going to jump off a building? Veena ckgold hurriedly climbed onto the railing to look down, but there was no sign of Su Yu below. Meanwhile, Tina had fallen into a bitter struggle. She was not as strong as her opponent, nor did she have as muchbat experience as Megan. If this continued, she would surely be defeated by Megan. No! I cant let this continue, the final victory must be mine! Tina encouraged herself. Hehe, no chance, Tina! Just admit defeat. If you admit defeat, Ill spare your life! Megans face was flushed and cracked, making her look particrly ferocious. With all her strength, she thrust hernce forward, its blue glow shone fiercely, hoping to defeat Tina as soon as possible. This time, Tina didnt take the blow on. She jumped off the unicorns back and dodged the attack. No! I must win! there was a fiery fury in Tinas eyes. With a flick of her hand, a pouch of Monster Blood Essence appeared in her hand. This pouch of Monster Blood Essence was obtained when Nemesis apanied her to kill monsters in the wilderness the day before. Since she had just reached the fourth level and needed to consolidate her development, she didnt absorb it then, instead, she kept it on her. Now seeing the defeat at hand, she couldnt care less. Tina ripped open the blood bag, and poured the Monster Blood Essence over herself. A golden aura rolled around her, quickly absorbing the energy in the essence blood. Almost instantly, Tinas momentum and strength were climbing up rapidly! Facing Megansnce, Tina waved her ownnce to block it, effortlessly deflecting the attack. Youre cheating! The referee stood by, fuming, Tina Garcia, this is a serious act of cheating, I am going to rule you You dare?!!! At that moment, a loud shout echoed above the referees head. A mage in leather armor, at the first level, swept across overhead and descended rapidly. Chapter 149: 149, Attack Referee_1 Chapter 149: Attack Referee_1 Trantor: 549690339 Still suspended in mid-air, Su Yu had already formed a walnut-sized fireball in his hand. He was about to unleash the first-level spell [Lesser Fireball Skill]. Su Yu didnte here to reason with the referee. Arguing with such a man is futile. Direct action is always the best approach! If the referee dares to shield Megans cheating under the watchful eyes of the public, he must pay the price! Tina, a blessing! Shouting across the distance, Su Yu called out to Tina. Alright. Tina responded immediately, releasing a faint golden buff thatnded on Su Yu. [Tina Garcias Blessing]: Your level is raised to that of [Tina Garcia] for a duration of one hour. Tina is now at level 60, and with the buff, Su Yus level also temporarily reached level 60. In an instant, the energy fluctuation of the fireball in his hand increased a hundredfold and its size expanded nearly a hundredfold, turning into a glowing basketball-sized fireball! After powering up for a second, Su Yu threw the fireball at the referee. The referee did not expect Su Yu to strike him. In panic, he rapidly formed a shield out of his rage to block the damage. Boom! The fireball smashed onto the referees shield, instantly shattering it, causing the referee to be blown back several meters. Ahhh The referee fell to the ground, severely wounded and ame, rolling on the ground in difort. The healers from the organizers rushed towards him. A few long-distance healing spells barely prevented the referee from being burnt to death. Hiss Seeing this scene, the audience in the grand arena gasped in astonishment. They were stunned by this sudden turn of events! What did they just witness? A young man suddenly appeared beside the referee and seriously injured him with a fireball. Thats overly audacious! No such thing has ever happened in history! The grand arena was like a hot oil pan being sshed with cold water, instantly boiling over! What the what is happening? Attacking the referee?! This young man is doomed! In all my years of watching duels, this is a first! Among the spectators were also many yers who knew this was part of the main storyline and hade to watch after purchasing tickets. Seeing this scene, the yers screamed in excitement: Oh my God, its Boss Ke! It really is Boss Ke! Why is Boss Ke attacking the referee? Boss Ke is so mighty! Lets go and support him! Yes, lets go now! Many yers left the spectator seats to run towards the dueling arena. But halfway there, an invisible shield blocked them, preventing them from entering. This protective shield was set up by the organizers of the duel. The protective shield not only filtered intense light and noise to protect the audience but also blocked external persons from disturbing the duel. Su Yu was able to enter the shield because he was one of the main sponsors of the event and had to pay the organizers a share of the betting money. Moreover, Su Yu needed to collect [Tinas Blood] immediately, so he had previously arranged for the shield not to block him. Therefore, Su Yu was able to sessfully ambush the referee and severely injure him. The severely injured referee was hastily carried away by the frazzled healers. Su Yu didnt bother about the referee. Instead, he addressed everyone present, Hello everyone, my name is Nemesis, and Im one of the organizers of this duel. The referee just now showed severe favoritism and condoned cheating. His judgment is thus invalid! Any objections? Boosted by magical power, Su Yus voice echoed throughout the entire amphitheater, drowning out the cacophony of debate. The grand amphitheater fell silent. However, nobody stepped forward to refute Su Yu. The judges ruling was clearly biased, and anyone with eyes could see it. No one would speak up for the judge. At this moment, a young womans voice echoed from the VIP seats: I object! On what grounds did you attack the judge? How can we determine the victor without a judge? The one who spoke these words was Kimberly, fixating her gaze intently on Su Yu. The judges verdict was on the verge of being set, but didnt expect it to be sabotaged by Su Yu at the critical moment! Moreover, this man was Tinas knight attendant. Tina actually chose a man to be her knight attendant, ugh! Such shamelessness! However, at this moment, a cold female voice sounded in her ear: What are you thinking? This voice came from the Legion Commander, Grace. With her strength reaching such a point, she could vaguely sense the thoughts of others around her. And her own knight attendant was a man, moreover, her husband, so she naturally warned Kimberly. Hearing this voice, Kimberly shivered and didnt speak. She dared not defy her aunt. Grace gave Kimberly a cold nce. I shall be the judge and determine the oue of this duel! She originally did not wish to meddle in this duel, but now, Su Yu had critically injured the judge, and she had to step in to settle this matter. Grace flew out of the spectator stand and hovered above the dueling field. She hovered in the air over the grand arena and announced to all present, I am Grace, the Head of the Unicorn Knights. I will be the judge for this duel. Grace paused for a moment after her deration. The spectators in the arena felt the immense strength of this sanctuary powerhouse and fell silent. The entire grand amphitheater was in silence. Grace swept a nce over all the spectators and then she made her judgement: Whether Megan cheated is still uncertain. After the judge recovers, we will determine ording to his testimony. What Tina used was Warcrafts essence blood, not a potion, so she did not cheat. Hence, I announce the duel to continue until a victory is decided. Grace knew Megan was cheating, but she wouldnt reveal it for the sake of the familys and knights dignity. Besides, it wasmon for nobles to cheat during duels. If it wasnt for Tinas unique identity, if it were anyone else, she would have ruled Tina as the loser just like the previous judge. After all, the interests of the family were her first consideration. Even though she and her brother didnt get along, she wouldnt let him lose five million spiritual energy coins for nothing. As for you, Nemesis. Grace looked at Su Yu below, The judges decision was indeed biased, but you cant just attack. So, you will be fined five thousand spiritual energy coins aspensation for the judge. Do you ept the punishment? Alright, I ept this punishment. Su Yu touched his nose and sighed softly. The decision made by the Legion Commander was basically unchangeable. Five thousand spiritual energy coins were nothing to him. He simply decided to cut his losses! As long as the final result does not affect Tinas victory, thats all that matters. Hearing the conversation between Grace and Su Yu, the audience realized that the issue of Su Yu attacking the judge was temporarily resolved. Since there was no ongoing issue, everyone redirected their attention back to the battle between Tina and Megan. At this point, the battle between Tina and Megan was nearing its end. After absorbing the essence blood, Tina was barely able to match Megan, who was enhanced by the potion. As time went on, the potency of the [Eternal Fury] potion started to wane, and Tina slowly gained the upper hand. Tina also noticed that her opponent was growing weaker. But she didnt rush to achieve quick results, opting instead for steady and cautious attacks. Finally, Tina saw her best opportunity. [Radiant me Piercing]! The glowing golden spear disarmed Megans spear and mmed heavily into her abdomen. Megan was sent flying eight or nine meters, separating from her unicorn. In the end, this duel concluded with Tinas victory! Chapter 150: 150, Hearthstone_1 Chapter 150: Hearthstone_1 Trantor: 549690339 I dere, Tina is the victor of this duel! Commander Grace calmly announced in mid-air, then flew back to her own grandstand. Actually, Grace found it quite ufortable being stuck in the middle of this duel. On one hand, supporting Tina didnt align with the short-term interests of the Windsor Family (Keltons loss of five million spiritual energy coins); on the other hand, not supporting Tina would not help the familys long-term interests. She suddenly regretted, thinking that she should have intervened when Kimberly and Tina first came into conflict, so it would not have escted to its current point. But its never toote to mend; it isnt toote topensate. The five million spiritual energy coins can be seen as money spent to teach Kelton a lesson. From now on, she needs to discipline the younger generation at home, to prevent any conflicts with Tina. Thinking this, Grace flew towards Kimberlys seat. At the same time, a deafening cheer resounded in the grand arena: Tina! Tina! Tina! The cheers were deafening. Most of the audience were ordinary people who bought tickets just to enjoy the show, the gamblers among them were in the minority. Tina, being amoners daughter, continued to create miracles, even defeating her instructor this time! Many sincerely apuded for her, shouting her name. Its fair to infer that in theing days, the bards in the various taverns in Orleans City would certainly be singing about Tina. Tina wasnt interested in the audiences cheers. She tiredly dismounted from the unicorn. The battle left her mentally and physically exhausted. Anna, the unicorn, was alright, but Tina suffered a dozen wounds of varying sizes, burning in pain from exposure to the air. Su Yu quickly came over as well and used paper towels to wipe the blood around her wounds and on her armor. Looking at Tina covered in blood, Su Yu couldnt help but feel a hint of guilt. Tinas feelings for him were genuine, which Su Yu could feel. But for his own purposes, Su Yu continually pushed Tina into battles, resulting in injuries time and again. Moreover, he could foresee that such things will happen repeatedly in the future. I must find a way topensate Tina properly! Su Yu secretly made up his mind. So he asked: Tina, is there something you want to do after this duel? As he spoke, Su Yu transferred 1,200,000 spiritual energy coins to his ck Magic Crystal Card and handed it to Tina. Tina took the Magic Crystal Card and checked the number on it. However, her emotions didnt fluctuate much. After putting away the card, Tina smiled slightly, Thank you so much! After the duel, I want to sleep well. In the morning, I dont have to get up early, once Im fully rested, I can go to Green Valley Street to buy food, after a good meal, I can go shopping for clothes, watch circus shows By the way, Nemesis, would you like to apany me? Of course, as long as you want, Ill always be by your side, Su Yu responded. Thats great! Lets make a pinky promise, no backsies! Tina stretched out her pinky finger. Su Yu also extended his pinky and made a pinky promise with Tina. Chatting together, they left the dueling field and walked into the lounge behind the arena. Veena ckgold was standing at the entrance of the lounge, his cheeks flushed with excitement. This time, he had earned more than fifteen million spiritual energy coins! He had never earned such a huge sum of money in his goblin life! Nemesis had effortlessly made a fortune! However, he didnt rashly disturb the two, knowing it was not his ce to interrupt. So Veena ckgold waited quietly on a chair outside the door. In the resting room, Tina shed her heavy armor and changed into a light brown trench coat. Tina had an extraordinarily strong regenerative ability. By the time they had arrived at the resting room, the wounds all over her body had already scabbed and fallen off, her skin recuperated to a soft, delicate state. Other than her slightly pale face, it was almost impossible to tell she had been injured. While changing, Tina took out a small stone from her pocket and handed it to Su Yu: Nemesis, this is for you. What is this? Su Yu took the stone. The stone looked like a pure white piece of pebble, and its surface was very smooth. Apart from the warmth that lingered from Tina, he couldnt find anything special about it. My dad gave it to me. Tinabed her hair while exining with a smile. This stone was taken from the firece in my house, Ive always kept it with me. My dad told me to look at it whenever I missed home. Oh? Then why give it to me? Su Yu asked. Because Tina flirted by blinking her eyes, I wont need it when I am with you in the future! Ding! [Orleans City Holy Maiden (10/100)]pleted. Reward: Experience Points x5000, [Hearthstone (Golden)] x1. [Hearthstone (Golden)] How to use: Set the location beneath your feet as your home. Activating the Hearthstone from any location will teleport you to your home. Cooldown time: 2 hours. Maximum teleportation distance: 1000 kilometers. Note: It shines exceptionally brightly, probably because it was identally smeared with a drop of Tinas blood. [Hearthstone]? This is a good item! Su Yus eyes lit up. If used correctly, the [Hearthstone] was akin to an additional long-distance teleporter. East Sea City was only a little over a thousand kilometers from the Imperial Capital in the real world. Moreover, there was no limit to the number of times the [Hearthstone] could be used, and it would not break no matter how many times it was used. In the game, he could set the home office in his territory. After finishing his research, he could return home in a click; this would save him so much time! No wonder its the reward from the 10th circle of the main storyline, this item suits me too well! Su Yu felt greatly satisfied. He didnt forget to thank Tina: Tina, thank you for giving me this stone! Tina? Su Yus grateful words were cut off halfway. It turned out that while he was examining the [Hearthstone], Tina had fallen asleep on the leather sofa in the resting room. She must be exhausted from the duel just now. Su Yu thought, taking out a mage robe from his bag and draping it over Tina. After doing all this, Su Yu quietly left the resting room, intending to first withdraw the fifteen million and then return to find Tina. However, as soon as he walked out the door, he received a game notification: Ding, [Orleans City Holy Maiden (11/100)] updated. Mission requirement: Stay with Tina and wait for her to wake up. Note: Tina can wake up anytime. Uh, guess Ill stay then. Seeing the mission hint, Su Yu sat back down next to Tina on the sofa, watching her. Not gonna lie, this was the first time Su Yu had seen Tina sleeping soundly. Tina now had a blissful smile on her face, her cheeks a rosy hue. She looked like aplete angel! Maybe shes having a good dream? Su Yu quietly spected. Theres not much to do while waiting for Tina to wake up. After admiring Tinas sleeping face, Su Yu opened the built-in official forum in the game to see if there was anything new happening in the forum. Chapter 151: 152、Help Game Supervisor Make Money_1 Chapter 151: 152Help Game Supervisor Make Money_1 Trantor: 549690339 The official forum is now bustling. When Evolution first started its server, there were only 100,000 yers on the Chinese server. But now, the number of yers on the Chinese server has exceeded 2 million! ording to Snow Leopard, the Game Supervisor of Country and Singer Civilization have already signed a cooperation agreement. Country will transfer 15% of the spiritual energy output from Yunlu Mountains Spiritual Spring Eye to the supervisor. In exchange, the supervisor will transfer the core technology for helmet manufacturing to Country and fully cooperate with domestic helmet manufacturing. This has greatly speeded up the production of helmets! ording to the n, in 45 days, enough helmets can be produced domestically for the entire poption of 1.4 billion people, and then gradually support overseas. With its huge production capacity, Country has also further reduced the price of gaming helmets. From an initial price of thirty thousand at the start of the server to now only three thousand! Purchase based on identity card queue, one helmet per person. Under massive promotional measures, arge number of new yers have been rushing into the world of Evolution game. The official forum, as the main battlefield for yers daily discussions, naturally bes overcrowded. With just a refresh, Su Yu can see dozens of different posts: New yer here! A level 3 wild beast [Wild Pig] dropped a white sword, can you all help me see if its good? How do you y the boss [Xu Xian] in the [The White Snake under Qingcheng Mountain] dungeon? How do youplete [Jennas Troubles] quest? Molly Manor guild is recruiting! The top right of the official forum has also added a real-time online user statistics. Now the forums real-time traffic is up to 100,000+, which has caught up with the total yer count when the server first started. As for Su Yu, he has always had the habit of replying to posts and helping other yers to solve difficult questions on the forum when hes free. Now that Tina is still sleeping and he has nothing to do, he replies in the external forum and helps yers solve problems: [Jennas Troubles]? Its quite an interesting quest! I recall that the key point of the quest is Jennas broom. She transforms into a siren after mounting it, and tells some inappropriate jokes for kids [Mountain of Treasure Gourds] quest is pretty simple. In the cave, you save a pangolin, who then leads you to find seven treasure gourds Level 15 dungeon [Rage mes Canyon]? The boss of this dungeon is pretty tough, and the drops arent that great. I rmend not farming it at this stage. Wait til youre level 17 and can outlevel it before attempting it slowly Of course, everyone knows Su Yus game ID, [Nemesis]. So after his replies, many yers respond under hisments: Caught Boss Ke alive! Boss Ke is browsing the forums again. Boss Ke is actually not aloof, and helps newbies? Im smitten! Boss Ke, when will you update your main plot series videos? Even the donkey on a production team wouldnt dare to rest as much as you! The main plot should have reached the duel between Tina and Instructor Megan, right? Hurry and release it, were waiting to watch! Im in Orleans City. I bought a ticket to watch the duel between Tina and the instructor. To be honest, the ending is somewhat frustrating. Tina wasnt treated fairly, and the Legionnaire didnt punish the cheating Megan. Ahhhhh! No spoilers! The main plot series videos that yers mentioned refer to the questline involving Tina, quests 5-9. Except for the portions which involved intimate interactions with Tina, Su Yu made these five quests into first-person view videos and uploaded them to the official websites video section. These five videos brought him a substantial ie. Each video received around a hundred thousand views, with each view costing 0.6 Flower Coins. This means that each video could bring him an ie of over forty thousand. But! Su Yu certainly didnt upload the videos just for this small amount of money. Forty thousand is substantial, butpared to his wealth of hundreds of billions, its just a drop in the ocean. Su Yu did this primarily to help the Game Supervisor of the Singer Civilization earn money. As mentioned before, the First-Person Video Section is a way for the Game Supervisor to make extra money. After the Supervisor earns money from the video section, he uses this portion of funds to exchange with the governments of Blue Star at a reasonable price for spiritual energy. Su Yu diligently uploads videos, helping the Game Supervisor to make money continually, which would certainly gain the Supervisors attention. After umting to a certain extent, he could approach the Supervisor for negotiation. Using a few popr videos with lowmission rates as bargaining chips, he could negotiate with the Supervisor, who would then agree to open a space teleportation channel to teleport him to Skru Star C the enemys base camp. Once at the enemy base, Su Yu could plunder spiritual energy, wreak havoc, and contact anti-government organizations within their territory bing a guerri unit behind enemy lines. All this is entirely achievable because its the path trodden by the top assassin [Frost Red Tea] in his previous life. As mentioned earlier, [Frost Red Tea] in his previous life had a viral video with over a hundred million views. Frost Red Tea used the 28%mission from this video to win over the Game Supervisor. Eventually, he walked on this path, was teleported to Skru Star, and sessfully contacted the anti-government organization on Skru Star. What Su Yu is doing is essentially repeating the old path of [Frost Red Tea] from his previous life. However, in his previous life, it was toote when Frost Red Tea contacted the anti-government organization of Skru Star in the tenth month of the huge change. Starting from now, Su Yu is confident that he can escte his powers to level-five and teleport to Skru Star by the fourth month of the great change. Level-five is the minimum threshold for interster teleportation, any forceful attempt to teleport with power lower than this level would only result in a pool of mud. Su Yu is confident that he can use [Mage Tower] to advance himself to level-five by the end of April. Contacting the anti-government organization of Skru Star is of great importance, almost determining the sess or failure of the entire war. And besides him, no one else is up to this job in the short term. Moreover, four months is not his fastest speed to achieve level-five, he also has other ways to elerate the pace of improving his cultivation. It all depends on A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated now, if he sessfullypletes the mission to obtain the [Yulon Statue], the speed of territory construction will increase. Perhaps, I could reach level-five as early as the third month! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, you probably dont even realize that youre undertaking a mission that could influence the future of mankind, do you? With this in mind, Su Yu sent A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated a private message: Hows the mission going? Su Yu and A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated have been privatelymunicating these days. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated is a top yer after all, Su Yu has never worried about him failing the mission, he just asionally checked the progress of his mission. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: All the preliminary tasks have beenpleted. Im now on a grand ship headed towards the Pandamen Empire, I should be arriving tomorrow. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: I should be officially appointed as a fighter tomorrow. Ive tried some of the skills of this ss, and Im very satisfied! Su Yu: d you like it! When you get there, remember to help me find [Zhou Zhuo] in Mogu Mountain Treasure first, so as to get the [Yulon Statue] as soon as possible. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Heh heh, I dont think thats necessary. Su Yu: What do you mean? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Because Ive already got the [Yulon Statue]. After A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated sent the message, he disyed an item information in the chat box. [Yulon Statue (Special Item)] Effect: Offering sacrificial items to the statue can allow your territory to gain [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff, the more sacrificial items offered, the stronger the buff effect. [Wind Calls Rain Orderly]: It allows a territory to have good weather, greatly increasing the productivity of the residents and significantly increasing the number of refugees. Note: The effect is more significant whenbined with a wonder building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. Chapter 152: 153. To practice divine skills, castrate oneself with a knife_1 Chapter 152: 153. To practice divine skills, castrate oneself with a knife_1 Trantor: 549690339 Holy shit! Su Yu swore, a rare urrence, How did you get that? Hehe, well that takes us back to the final trial that Chens Stormstout gave me A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated typed out a lengthy text in the chat box. As it turned out, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated had justpleted a final trial named [Rescue of the Gods Child], in which he rescued a huge turtle named [Gods Child] floating in the sea. Because he nearly aced the entire trial, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was awarded an SS grade. Ding, the [Rescue of the Gods Child] scenario campaign ispleted, the reward grade is being generated Your reward grade for this round is SS, you are awarded: Experience Points x2000. You can choose one of the following two rewards as your final prize. As your guild owns territory, you have an additional choice. The three options were: 1, [Internal Skill Method: The Flower Picking Manual (Epic)] Note: To sessfully cultivate this Divine Skill, one must castrate oneself. If not castrated, practicing the skill will cause heat to rise within your body, leading tobusting Side effects: Male NPCs favorability towards you -20, Female NPCs favorability towards you -30. 2, [Internal Skill Method: Heavenly Dominating Skill (Epic)] Note: Although Heavenly Dominating Skill is extremely powerful, it has a significant inconvenience: one must rejuvenate to youth once each month. After rejuvenation, all progress in cultivating the skill resets. Moreover, one must consume fresh blood at noon each day in order to train. 3, [Yulon Idol] Effect: Offering tributes to the idol boosts your territories with the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff Besides basic skills, a martial artist can learn [Internal Skill Method], [Guardian Skills], [Swift Skills]. This task offers two choices of [Internal Skill Method] as a reward. However, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated wasnt satisfied with either of those two options. Firstly, [The Flower Picking Manual]. If he chose this, he would be a eunuch for the rest of his gaming career? It feels distressing just thinking about it; Secondly, the [Heavenly Dominating Skill]. Despite the impressive name, it required monthly recoiling and consumption of fresh blood each day at noon Just the thought of drinking fresh blood every day makes A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated feel nauseated. The third option was the [Yulon Idol]. Dissatisfied with both skill methods, and bearing in mind Nemesis urgently needs the [Yulon Idol], A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated promptly chose the third one. After all, with his capabilities, he would inevitably get high-quality internal skill methods sooner orter. Theres no rush. Su Yu: A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, do you have a [mail box] on your ship? A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Hang on. Let me see Yes, I do. Su Yu: Hurry up and send me the [Yulon Idol] via mail! Charge me for the postage. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Okay, Ill send it to you now. A little whileter, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated replied, The mail has been sent. Su Yu: Thank you so much! Lets consider all our previous debts settled! If I need any more materials in the future, Ill buy them from you at a generous price! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: Dont mention it. If you need anything else in the future, just ask. Ill see what I can do to help get it I have another task to tackle, lets chat moreter! Su Yu: Mm, goodbye. After closing the private chat interface, Su Yu received a game prompt on his end: Youve received a high-value mail. Please check it. In the game, yers could send items or equipment to other yers through the [mail box], with any mail being delivered almost instantly. The mail was valid for 7 days, and any unimed mail would disappear after those 7 days. And the further the distance, the higher the postage fee. A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was almost at the Pandamen Empire, so the postage for this event could be as much as a thousand spiritual energy coins! But this amount meant nothing to Su Yu. Once Tinas main storyline reached a pause, he could return to his estate and ce the [Yulon Idol]! Su Yu looked up at Tina, not knowing when shed wake up. As he looked at Tina, he suddenly noted there was something off about her. She was still sound asleep. However, her small face had be extremely red and her breathing was increasingly erratic, sometimes slow, sometimes fast. Also, beneath her closed eyelids, her eyes were moving frantically, as if she were having a nightmare or something. Tina? Tina? Su Yu tried to wake her up, but Tina didnt respond at all. Su Yu hurried over and felt her forehead. It was boiling hot and burning his hand. He then ced his hand over her heart to check her pulse. Tinas heart rate was significantly abnormal, sometimes beating so fast it was like it was going to jump out of her throat, and other times it was slow like sh Slothmore from Zootopia. Su Yu stood up, ready to head to the Temple of Light and find a high-ranking priest to heal Tina. Just as he was doing this, he received a game notification: Ding, [Saint of Orleans City (11/100)] has been updated. Task requirement: Tina appears to be in some sort of nightmare state, please inform the Unicorn Knights Commander, Grace, of her situation promptly. Informing Grace could work too. Having received the game prompt, Su Yu strode out of the rest room. Outside the room, the goblin Vina ckgold had been waiting for quite some time. As soon as he saw Su Yue out, he sighed in relief and quickly said with a servile smile, Boss Nemesis, youre out atst! Weve made over fifteen million spiritual energy coins profit this time! Nevermind that for now, keep your eye on the rest rooms door. Dont let anyone in until Ie back! Uh Okay. 10 minutester, Su Yu returned to the rest room with Commander Grace. By then, Tinas nightmare state had worsened significantly. Tinas condition showed no sign of improvement even though her eyes remained shut. Moreover, her golden aura was swirling and surging, the sofa beneath her shredded by the tempestuous energy, leaving only fragments strewn around her on the floor. Graces face hardened as she quickly knelt beside Tina to examine her. After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Su Yu, Nemesis, I think I know the reason. Whats wrong with Tina? Tina is in this state because she has a strong fixation in her heart. Graces face had a grave expression. A fixation? Yes, Tina has had this fixation for a long time. It wasnt strong, it helped with her development to some extent, so I didnt pay it much attention. Su Yu nodded, he also knew about the fixation in Tinas heart. During the quest [Centaurs Lingering Feelings], thest part of the quest would lead to Dimas death and Tinas transformation to darkness. Su Yu was supposed to enter Tinas subconscious mind and defeat a boss called [Tinas Perseverance] toplete the quest. However, changing the course of the storyline by spending a fortune to hire a priest to heal Dima, Tina didnt transform to darkness, and [Tinas Perseverance], the boss, was stalled. Unexpectedly, at this point, the boss [Tinas Perseverance] reappeared causing trouble. Chapter 153: 153, Princess Special Envoy (Added Updates)_1 Chapter 153: Princess Special Envoy (Added Updates)_1 Trantor: 549690339 In truth, I am somewhat to me for Tinas current condition. Commander Grace was self-reflective, During the duel just now, I may have shown a slight bias towards Megan, which might have disappointed Tina. It might be this reason that leads to Tinas fixation. Su Yu: Su Yu initially did not want to dwell on themanders favoritism and cheating, after all, she was trying to save her nieces and familys face, which was understandable. However, at this critical moment, with Tina already unconscious, she was still making excuses for her behavior, Su Yu could not hold back anymore: What you did was not a slight bias, it was tant favoritism! Megan was cheating for sure, the sixth level potion, [Eternal Fury] can only be made by an advanced alchemist, how can you not know that? Cant you see it? As a leader of the knights, you cant even maintain minimum fairness and justice, how can Tina not be disappointed in you? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? Being caught off guard by Su Yus harsh words, Grace red back at Su Yu, her eyes cold. That a low-level mage dares to disrespect her, does he want to ascend to heaven or what? Ding, [Grace Windsor]s favorability towards you decreases by 5, lowering to hostility. However, Su Yu showed no fear towards Graces angry re. He tapped his chest where the [Advanced Schr Badge] was, and said solemnly, Im a senior schr at the Schrs Temple and the chief academic advisor of Princess Alyssa! I apanied her Highness to Maple City to negotiate with Duke Anzu Seifer recently, and not only did I rescue the princess from an attack by Duke Landilus and Archmage Antondidas, but also earned an impressive reputation! The reason I came to Orleans City and became Tinas knight attendant was because I saw her potential to turn the tide in the future. Now you dare treat Tina so unfairly, why shouldnt I scold you? While saying these, Su Yu pulled out a royal token given to him by the princess, as well as the sixth-stage transformation scroll the princess rewarded him as proof of his identity. The royal token was given to him by the princess during their negotiation at Maple City. With it, Su Yu could freely enter and exit Duke Seifers castle. He never thought this token woulde in handy at this time. Upon seeing these two items, Graces pupils contracted sharply. She had initially thought that Su Yu was just a wealthy youngster, but it turned out that he was much more than that! This was a royal token from the princess! Whoever holds the princesss royal token is regarded as her special envoy. Even the Lord of Orleans City would have to treat Su Yu respectfully, let alone her. Due tomunication difficulties during the war, the specific details of the princesss negotiation in Maple City has not been spread out. Thus, Grace was still unsure about what happened in the north. If what Su Yu said was true; if he was the one who saved Princess Alyssa from Duke Landiluss clutches, then had she indirectly offended Princess Alyssa? Grace eyed Su Yu up and down, her expression drastically changed. Su Yu knew what themander was pondering. However, he didnt care. Right now, Tinas fixation was only getting deeper, she needed to be treated urgently. Therefore, he urged her, Dont worry about all that now, you can reflect on your mistakester First, tell me how to save Tina. Hearing Su Yu say this, Grace temporarily suppressed her mixed feelings and shifted her gaze back to Tina. After gauging the condition inside Tinas body, she said, Honored envoy, I can pull your consciousness into Tinas consciousness world. If you help eliminate her fixation, Tina should be able to return to normal. Then she said to Su Yu honestly, One more thing I need to tell you, I indeed covered up for Megans cheating just now, I admit my mistake. Soon I will deal with Megan and Kimberlys cheating ording to the rules, and ensure justice is served for Tina. I hope you can say a few words in our favor to the princess on behalf of us, the people of Orleans City. Orleans City will always be the most loyal support to the Empire! We can discuss thatter. Su Yu nomittally waved her off, However, remember that Tina represents the Empires future hope. You should nurture her more in the future, so she can grow faster. Its only beneficial to your family, understand? Understood, Envoy. Ding, Your favorability with [Grace Windsor] +15, favorability has risen to noticeable. Tina was now deeply stuck in her obsession, and it couldnt be dyed any longer. So Grace quickly sat cross-legged beside Tina, and began to cast her spell. She ced one hand on Tinas forehead and the other hand on Su Yus head. A pure white light emanated from her body, filling the entire room. At first, Su Yu didnt feel anything. But after a while, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then lost consciousnesspletely. When he woke up again, Su Yu found himself in a grey space. Under his feet was a solid grey metallic ground, above his head was a boundless grey sky, behind him was a vast grey fog, and in front of him was a towering ten-meter-tall wall of earthy-yellow color that seemingly stretched infinitely. There was an opening on the wall, but it was pitch ck and he couldnt see inside. Ding, the main storyline [Orleans Citys Saintess (12/100)] has been updated. Mission description: You have now reached the edge of [Tina Garcias] consciousness world. In front of you stands a massivebyrinth, the only route to the core of Tinas consciousness world. If you die in thebyrinth, you will resurrect at the entrance of thebyrinth and restart. Mission requirement: Cross the maze, reach the core of Tinas consciousness world, countdown 59m59s. Mission reward: [Echo of the Phantom Cat (Consumable) X1, Experience Points X3000. So the inside of this wall is actually abyrinth? It seems that the only opening in this wall is the entrance to thebyrinth. Su Yu stroked his chin. He only had an hour countdown. But Su Yu didnt hurry into thebyrinth. From his experience, there tend to be some goodies outside the entrance of thebyrinth, so he decided to try searching around first. Thus, Su Yu began to search outside thebyrinth. The search took about five minutes. If you walk 50 meters back towards the fog from the entrance of thebyrinth, youll be stopped by a transparent barrier. Within this semi-circr radius of 50 meters, after a careful search, Su Yu really found a good item on the ground! [Maze Amulet (Special Item)] Effect: In Tinas consciousnessbyrinth, if you take fatal damage, it will be automatically triggered to negate this damage. (Effective when ced in the bag) Remaining uses: 10 Note: Up up down down left right left right BABA wait, why do I only have 10 extra lives? Looking at this [Maze Amulet], Su Yu quietly felt relieved. Lucky he explored a bit outside first. If he didnt have this amulet and had to start exploring thebyrinth from its entrance every time he died, that would have wasted too much time. After checking the items in his bag and ensuring that everything was prepared, Su Yu stepped into the entrance of thebyrinth. Chapter 154: 154, Maze Exploration, [Tina’s Crystal of Obsession]_1 Chapter 154: Maze Exploration, [Tinas Crystal of Obsession]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu had some understanding about clearing the maze dungeons. The worst thing you could do in a maze dungeon is barge in blindly. The internal walls of the maze are almost identical. Its easy to misjudge your direction if you stroll around aimlessly, which can lead you to lose your waypletely. Clearing a maze dungeon is actually quite simple. As soon as Su Yu entered the maze, he pulled out a pen and paper from his bag and recorded all the routes he had taken. He moved forward at a constant speed with every step being 0.6 meters apart. Whenever he crossed a fork, he would clearly mark the distance he had just walked and the position of the fork. Every time he turned a corner, he would rotate the paper 90 degrees. In this way, it was unlikely to lose his way and he could easily navigate through the maze. Although the maze section was simple, this was, after all, the main storyline, and there were a lot of other elements mixed in the maze. Just as Su Yu reached the second junction, he ran into four monsters. Two of them were giant snakes. [Forest Python lv27] HP: 2220 Attack: 75 Skill: [Venomous Bite]: Bite the target, causing 240% attack damage, apply ayer of [Venom], and refresh the duration of [Venom] on the target. [Venom]: Causes 35 points of poison damage per second,sting for 4 seconds. Can stack up to 10 times. [Serpents Swiftness (Passive)]: Has a 15% chance to dodge single target attacks and spells. Note: Tina was not afraid of snakes when she was a child, until she was bitten by a poisonous snake in the forest . The other two are giant spiders. [Wall Spider lv27] HP: 1955 Attack: 86 Skill: [Web of Restraint]: Spits a web towards the target, causing 150% attack damage and causing the target to be [Bound] for 3 seconds. [Poisonous Sting]: Pounces and stabs the target, causing 120%600% attack damage. The lower the targets health, the higher the damage, causing the target to be [Poisoned], causing 35 points of poison damage per second,sting for 4 seconds. [Spiders Agility (Passive)]: Has a 15% chance to dodge single target attacks and spells. Note: Tina had a pet spider as a child, but sheter adopted a cute stray cat and abandoned the spider. These four monsters were of ordinary level and posed no challenge to Su Yu. Su Yu used his [Summoning Rock Element] skill and arge rock element, over three meters tall and made entirely of granite, appeared by his side. Under his control, the rock element stretched out its huge stone fist and pounced at the four monsters. The spiders and pythons obviously also noticed the invading rock element andunched attacks at it. The pythonsrge mouth and the spiders poisonous pincers struck the rock element, scraping off arge amount of gravel. Su Yu was not slow either. After the rock element used [Mass Taunt] to control the monsters, he unreservedlyunched his [Rain of Fire] and [sh Chain] spells. Su Yus spells were powerful and his skill damage bonus was very high. Just two spells caused the four monsters HP to quickly drop to zero amidst a storm of lightning and mes, turning them into experience points and some drops. Su Yu went forward to check the drops from the monsters. In addition to equipment, spiritual energy coins and other basic drops, the four monsters also dropped four consumables called [Tinas Crystal of Obsession]. [Tinas Crystal of Obsession (Consumable)] Effect: Use on BOSS [Tinas Perseverance] to reduce its all attributes by 1%, and the score gained from killing the boss rises by 5%. Can stack up,sting for 2 minutes. Seeing this item, Su Yu immediately understood: It seems that clearing the maze is only part of the task. The more exploration we do in the maze, the more monsters we kill, the higher the rewards well get from the task in the end. Having thought of this, Su Yu started to take action. He collected the loot from the four monsters, put on the dual-speed leather armor, and began to explore the entire maze. Besides spiders and pythons, two types of small monsters, there were asional poisonous gas and fire traps on the ground and walls of the maze. But these were just minor nuisances to Su Yu. What really posed a threat to Su Yu was a creature called the [Ghost Cat]. [Ghost Cat lv63] Health Points: ??? Attack Power: ?? Skill: [Ghost Strike]: The Ghost Cat pounces on the target, inflicting 100% of the targets total health in true damage, ignoring shields and damage reduction skills. [Ghost Body (Passive)]: In its ghost state, it can easily pass through the maze walls. [Silent (Passive)]: Produces no sound while moving and attacking. Note: A stray cat adopted by Tina in her childhood, died of a malignant disease, one of the sources of Tinas obsession. The Ghost Cat moved silently, struck quickly, and was very hard to detect. For Su Yu, if the Ghost Cat appeared in front of him, he could use [sh Skill] and [Ice Barrier] to dodge the attack. If the Ghost Cat appeared behind him or within his blind spot, it would be difficult to defend. He could only use the [Maze Amulet] to fend off the damage. In the following 50 minutes, Su Yu, while always being aware of any Ghost Cats appearing, fought monsters to collect the Crystals of Obsession and look for the mazes exit. Finally, after 42 minutes, Su Yu sessfully explored 100% of the maze, killed two mini-bosses C [Spider Queen Eilis] and [The Embrace of the Serpent Goddess Cassiopeia], and arrived at the exit of the maze. Now, he only had two uses left for his [Maze Amulet], and he collected 40 [Tinas Crystals of Obsession]! As he exited the maze, he breathed a long sigh of relief at the open in in front of him. He had been dizzy from constantly moving in the confined and dark maze, almost developing ustrophobia. But now, seeing the open in before him, he felt incredibly refreshed! However, the maze dungeon was not over yet. About a hundred meters from the exit of the maze, a 30-meter-tall giant metal Golem was standing. This should be the final BOSS of the maze dungeon. The upper body of the Golem was red with arge thunder character; its abdomen was green and held a huge wind character; its lower limbs were blue with an enormous water character. Looking at the whole, it seemed like the golem wasposed of three constructs. [Guardian of the Gate lv27 (Excellent)] Health Points: 25500 Attack Power: 378 Skills:[Dragon sh Strike], [Wind Dragons Sweep], [Water Dragons Roar] Note: Arge constructposed of the Thunder Demon God-Sanga, the Wind Demon God-Xuga, and the Water Demon God-Skaga, possessing an incredibly strong power. Seeing this boss, Su Yu couldnt help but sigh: It seems that the yers whoplete the main storyline must have the ability to fight bosses of the same level. Ordinary yers cant evenplete the main storyline. While sighing, Su Yu changed into a full set of cloth armor and began to cast a 20-fold power [Thunderfall Skill] intending to kill the boss in one shot. But before casting his spell, Su Yu nced at the [Rock Element] standing beside him. Looking at the Rock Elements rugged physique, a new idea suddenly popped up in his mind: Maybe I could try this. Chapter 155: 155, Tokusatsu film level combat, consumable with amazing effect_1 Chapter 155: Tokusatsu film levelbat, consumable with amazing effect_1 Trantor: 549690339 All skills, when upgraded to legendary quality, will gain the Charging characteristic, which drastically increases the power of spells through charging. If [Summoning Rock Element] is charged for a long time, what kind of rock element can it create? Can it defeat the boss in front of me? Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly became interested. He stopped condensing [Thunderfall Skill], and instead decided to try out the legendary quality [Summoning Rock Element]. Su Yu first dismissed the rock elements around him. After the skill cooldown finished, he began charging the spell. With the charging, arge amount of elemental power converged in front of Su Yu, slowly solidifying into a giant rock element that is 30 meters tall and 8 meters wide! Unlike the dull regr rock elements, this giant rock element glowed with a faint gold, looking mighty and impressive. [Rock Emperor Lv27 (Exceptional)] Health: 30200 Attack Power: 145 Skills: [Mass Taunt], [Stomp], [Earth Strike], [Summon Rock Guard], [Granite Skin (Passive)], [Dignity of the Rock Emperor (Passive)]. [Summon Rock Guard]: Summons five [Rock Elements] to fight for you. Cooldown 5 minutes,sts for 3 minutes. [Dignity of the Rock Emperor (Passive)]: 30% chance to turn enemy rock creatures against themselves, deal an extra 100% damage to rock creatures. Su Yus total mana is only 2600 points. Summoning one [Rock Emperor] consumed a full 2000 points, almost draining him. However, the properties of the Rock Emperor are very strong! A whopping 30,000 health points, 20% more than the exceptional quality boss, [Guardian of the Gate]! Plus, the Rock Emperor has two new skills: [Summon Rock Guard] and [Dignity of the Rock Emperor]. All in all, the Rock Emperors attributes are on par with a green exceptional quality boss! Go, Rock Emperor! Su Yumand the Rock Emperor to attack the boss [Guardian of the Gate], while he himself stood in ce, eating fruit to slowly recover his mana. Boom! Boom! Boom! The Rock Emperor walked toward the boss with slow and heavy steps, the ground quivering under its trampling. The boss had been watching the Rock Emperor since the moment it was formed. Once the Rock Emperor entered range, [Dragon sh Strike], [Wind Dragons Sweep]! The boss started bombarding the Rock Emperor with ranged magic attacks non-stop. The Rock Emperor has high physical defense but average Magic resistance, and each spell can take away about 3% of its health. Despite this, the Rock Emperor charged up, shrugging off the damage. [Earth Strike]! -1243 The huge stone fist mmed hard onto the boss, causing the bosss health to drop by 5% instantly. At the same time, with a wave of the Rock Emperors hand, five small rock elements appeared in front of the boss, surrounding it. In the following time, it was a punch from the Rock Emperor, a spell from the boss. Like a turn-based game, the two big guys health dropped synchronously. Su Yu was watching the fight from the sidelines the whole time. Watching this battle, he suddenly felt as if he were watching a sci-fi movie! It felt like a scene from an Ultraman movie! Monster VS monster. And it felt a bit like Diamond VS Godzi. The attributes of the Rock Emperor are pretty good, if we go against the Skuru fleet in the future, this big guy should attract a lot of fire power. Su Yu thought to himself, rubbing his chin. Soon, the results of this action film level battle were released. The Boss [Guardian of the Door] had a slight edge. By the end of the battle, the Rock Emperors health depleted to zero, turning into a pile of rocks, while the boss still had 20% of his health bar remaining. It was a magic boss after all, its magic resistance provided it with quite an advantage against this physical tank. Su Yu didnt hesitate. After the Rock Emperor went down, he walked forward and charged his [Thunderfall Skill]. Three secondster, a gigantic thunder bolt fell from the sky, striking the boss. Crack! The Bosss health bar went straight down to zero, and it crashed onto the ground. Ding, [Orleans City Holy Woman (12/100)]pleted. Reward: [Echo of the Phantom Cat (Consumable Item)] X1, Experience Points X3000. After receiving the taskpletion prompt, a transparent ghostly kitten suddenly darted from the walls of the maze towards Su Yu and directly climbed into his backpack. Su Yus backpack also contained one more item. [Echo of the Phantom Cat (Consumable Item)] Remaining uses: 10 Effect 1: Using 1 use, youll enter the [Ghost] state, allowing you to pass through any obstructions like walls, with a duration of 5 minutes. Effect 2: Consuming all 10 uses, summon the Ghost Cat to unleash a [Ghost Strike], inflicting true damage equal to 100% of the targets health, ignoring shields and damage reduction abilities. (Effective only against targets below level 63.) Note 1: The valid target level of Effect 2 is consistent with the level of [Tina Garcia]. If Tina Garcia dies, this consumable will be unusable. Note 2: If [Tina Garcia] is within 40 meters of you, the remaining uses of this consumable item will increase by 1 every 6 hours, to a maximum of 30 uses. This this effect is too powerful, isnt it? Seeing the properties of this consumable item, Su Yu, despite having lived twice, couldnt help but be taken aback. In thete game, Tina bes a 7th order legendary strong person like Xi Fan and Walnut! Does this consumable item allow for an instant kill of legendary strong people who are lower in level than Tina? If transferred into the real world in the future wouldnt it be a [Skru Strongman Dequalifier]? Of course, the Ghost Cats [Ghost Strike] is not 100% urate. Even Su Yu, when confronted head-on with the Ghost Cat, can effectively dodge the attack. And even if the strike hits, the Skru strong person may also possess abilities like [Resurrection Armor] to save their life. But the value of this consumable item is still extremely high! If used correctly, it couldpletely kill two or three 6th order Skru from the Sanctuary! A 6th order strong person is a top-tier existence in the Skru Star. There are fewer than 700 Skru people above the 6th order, losing one would probably make themment for a long time. Fortunately, Im the one who took on these two main story lines. If they were given to other yers, they might waste such a powerful consumable item. Su Yu secretly felt relieved in his heart. Whats a pity though, is that the consumable items rewarded from tasks cannot be traded among yers. Otherwise, it would be great if I could also get the consumable items produced from the two rebel main storylines. But then again, Snow Leopard has already found the two yers who have taken the rebel line. Ill give him a heads upter on, to not use the powerful consumable items right away. If we have extra Blood of Tina in the future, we can transfer them into the real world using these items . Su Yus thoughts began to drift. Just at this moment, a game prompt pulled him back from his thoughts. Ding, main story [Orleans City Holy Woman (13/100)] has been updated. Quest requirements: Use the portal to enter Tinas surface world inside her consciousness and clear out Tinas obsessions in the surface world. Quest Reward: [Tinas Golden Wings (Special Item)], Experience Points X3000. Chapter 156: 156, Tina’s Consciousness of the ‘External World’_1 Chapter 156: Tinas Consciousness of the External World_1 Trantor: 549690339 After the [Guardian of the Gate] fell, a pale golden teleportation portal appeared not far in front of its body. Su Yu walked over to check the bosss loot, but found that unlike usual, the boss did not drop equipment and materials. The only item in the loot list was 20 pieces of [Tinas Crystal of Obsession]. Damn it, I dont need equipment anyway but how did Tina develop an obsession with this big thing? said Su Yu, looking at the construct made of the three demon-gods of thunder, wind, and water. He wondered what on earth had appealed to Tinas moe tendencies. Ill have to ask Tina about it some other time. Su Yu pocketed the 20 [Crystals of Obsession] and entered the teleportation portal. After a dizzying period of teleportation, Su Yu entered the outer world of Tinas consciousness. Tinas conscious world was divided into the outer world and the inner world, both of which were strongly disturbed by obsessions. What Su Yu had to do was to eliminate these obsessions so that Tina could wake up in reality. Upon entering the outer world of consciousness, the 13th chapter of the main storyline officially began. However, Su Yu, who had just entered, waspletely dumbfounded. Because aftering to the conscious world, the character he was controlling was no longer the young male character, [Nemesis], but had turned into a little girl. Stretching out his soft little hand and looking at the cute little skirt on his body, Su Yu was one hundred percent sure that he had be a little girl! Looking around, he realized he was in a grocery store named[Morning Song Grocery Store]. Seeing the shops name, Su Yu immediately remembered. Wasnt this the name of the shop Tina opened in the novice vige? Indeed, after the busy shopkeeper found some free time, he turned to her with a smile and said, Tina, how about helping Dad run this grocery store when you grow up? Hearing the shopkeepers words, Su Yu finally understood. He had taken over the body of Tina when she was a young girl! And he gained control over Tinas body. Although he really wanted to take out the [Sorrow of Fungus] and strike Tinas father, for the sake of the mission, she clenched her little fist and said in a cute voice, Dad, Tina will work hard! During the next two hours, ording to the storyline, Su Yu sped through all the major events in Tinas life. From Tinas childhood being bitten by a poisonous snake, her adopted stray cat dying to inheriting the Morning Song Grocery Store when she grew up, being tested for her warrior talent Finally joining the Unicorn Knights and confronting mentor Megan in the big arena. Su Yu, controlling Tinas body, experienced all of her lifes major events. During the mission, to help Tina make up for her regrets and eliminate her obsessions, Su Yu forcibly changed the oue of many events. For instance: Kicking away the poisonous snake about to bite her, he received [Tinas Crystal of Obsession]x1. He managed to heal the dying stray cat with herbal medicine, earning[Tinas Crystal of Obsession]x5. Bing a diligent manager of the Morning Song Grocery Store and receiving praise from the vigers, he received[Tinas Crystal of Obsession]x3. Taking the initiative to woo a foreign adventurer named[Nemesis] . Finally, at the Orleans City Grand Arena. Legion Commander Grace was floating in the sky, openly condoning the cheating by Mentor Megan, allowing the duel to proceed. At that moment, a pair of golden wings spread behind Tina. Tina soared into the sky, the goldennce carrying with it immense power and went straight through the Legion Commanders body. How how is it possible? Youve actually reached the 6th rank? The Legion Commander incredulously looked at thence piercing his body, then he exploded, dropping a total of 20[Crystals of Obsession]. Killing the Legion Commander had cleared the obsession haunting Tinas outer world of consciousness. Meanwhile, the Tina in the sky returned to her original form as Nemesis. Ding, the main storyline [Saint of Orleans City (13/100)] has beenpleted. Reward received: [Tinas Golden Wings (Special Item)] 1, Experience Points 3000. [Tinas Golden Wings (Special Item)] Effect: Launches you 500 meters into the sky and opens golden wings. Cooldown time: 20 minutes. (Can only be used in nonbat state.) After transforming back to his original form, Su Yu tried to pat his own chest. Feeling the solid muscles there, he let out a sigh. Although he had been controlling Tinas body just now, his operating authority had been quite low. In order to protect Tinas privacy, actions like patting ones chest were impossible, making the body feel very stiff. Now he could finally pat his chest, yet it was his own chest. Su Yu felt at a loss for words. Afterpleting the mission, Su Yu turned his attention to the reward item[Tinas Golden Wings]. After reading the details of the item, Su Yu nodded, Well, its a decent auxiliary item, at least it can be used for climbing mountains. If Su Yu needed to climb a 500-meter hill in the future, he could activate this item at the foot of the hill, fly to a height of 500 meters, glide over and save a lot of time. Of course, in a nonbat state, this item can also provide some escape aid. He could study it more deeplyter. Afterpleting the mission, a golden teleportation door opened in the center of the duel field. Meanwhile, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, your main plotline has been updated! [Saint of Orleans City (14/100)]. Task requirement: Enter the inner world of Tinas consciousness and kill the boss [Tinas Obsession]. Task reward: Experience Points 3000. [Tinas Obsession] boss in the 14th chapter? Could it be that its not the final boss? However, Su Yu didnt think too much about it. Checking his backpack, so far he had obtained 99 pieces of [Tinas Crystal of Obsession]. He got all the crystals he could during the mission, so he believed the final boss wouldnt be too hard. Su Yu put the [Crystals of Obsession] at the most frequently used slot in his backpack and stepped into the teleportation portal. Once again, after a whirl of dizziness, Su Yu found himself in a golden space. Beneath him was a dazzling golden metal ground, above him an incredibly bright golden sky, and beside him, an endless golden mist. The environment Su Yu was in now was very simr to the maze earlier, only the gray color scheme of the maze had been reced with gold. In front of Su Yu stood a giant Tina wearing golden armor and standing 5 meters tall. [Tinas Obsession (Epic) lv27] Health points: 68300 Attack: 1247 Skills: [Radiant me Piercing], [Shining me sh], [Body of the Divine (Passive)] Note: The amalgamation of Tinas obsessions, the root cause of Tinas unconscious state. The colossal Tina in front of him could be considered a gigantic version of Tina, with her skills replicated too. But its eyes were blood red, making it look a bit scary. The gigantic Tina, upon noticing Su Yus arrival, promptly transformed into a beam of golden light and charged toward his location. In an instant, the goldennce was already at Su Yus chest. Chapter 157: 157, Guardian Deity of Empire, Gold Legend Accessory_1 Chapter 157: Guardian Deity of Empire, Gold Legend essory_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu hadnt expected the boss to be so fast. He quickly released the [sh Skill]. Woosh! A white light red up, and Su Yu instantly arrived 15 meters away, evading the bosss attack. The boss missed his first attack and immediately turned his pike towards Su Yu for another assault. And this time, the attack was extremely rapid. In a moment, the golden pike nearly stabbed into Su Yus chest. But Su Yu counterattacked swiftly. Masses of [Crystals of Obsession] were hurled from his hand, raining down onto the boss. With nowhere to dodge due its huge form, the boss was struck by the crystals, which merged directly into his body. Under the effect of the crystals, the boss size began to shrink steadily and his speed dropped rapidly. The boss let out a pained howl, brandishing his golden pike, trying to impale Su Yu with a single thrust. Su Yu stood unmoving, continuously using control skills: [Frost Nova]s freeze, [Thunderfall Skill]s paralysis, [Earth Spike Thrust]s knockback, [Summoning Rock Element]s group taunt Though each control effect didntst long, they stacked up, trapping the boss for a full 5 seconds! In between unleashing control skills, Su Yu also tossed out the [Crystals of Obsession] one by one. As the crystals sessively hit, the bosss size dramatically shrank once again, decreasing from an initial height of five meters down to one and a half meters before stopping, and both his defense and movement speed significantly decreased. After throwing out thest crystal and using [Insight Skill] to check, the bosss remaining health was only 683 points, and its attributes were only 1% of the original. Ah, poor boss, Su Yu remarked. With a casual [Thunderfall Skill], he effortlessly took out the boss. Ding, main plot [Saint of Orleans City (14/100)] ispleted, reward: Experience Points X3000 received. Ding, main plot [Saint of Orleans City (15/100)] updated. Quest requirement: Go to Tinas Outer World consciousness, confront the intruders with the awake Tina. Quest reward: Random rewards based on the overall quest rating. The boss [Tinas Perseverance] offered no loot, and there was nothing worth lingering for in the Inner World. Following the quest prompt, Su Yu stepped into the portal again. The teleportation light brightened, and Su Yus figure appeared in the center of the Orleans Citys Grand Coliseum, the very spot where he had just impaled General Grace. But as soon as he arrived here, Su Yu was immediately taken aback. Because just in front of him, outside the coliseum, two giants more than two hundred meters tall had appeared! One of the giants was Tina. Su Yu could sense that this Tina was her own consciousness, which was now awake. Seeing Su Yu teleport out from the Inner World, Tina gave him a small smile and then looked vigntly at the other giant facing her. The other giant was an elderly man, white-haired and bearded, d in a simple white robe. The old man was standing a few hundred meters from Tina, watching her with a benign expression. Who are you?! Why have you entered my consciousness world? Tina gaze full of caution became even more pronounced as she stared at the elderly man. But when Su Yu recognized who the old man was, he was taken aback! Could this be Evan Goldsparrow! What is he doing here? The elderly man before him was Evan Goldsparrow, a rank eight God Level being, and the guardian deity of the Goldsparrow Empire. There were only twelve Rank Eight beings in the entire game world, each possessing a terrifying power capable of annihting the entire game world, and Evan was one of them. In his previous life, Su Yu only encountered this supremely powerful being during arge-scale battle in the fifth expansion pack Shining New World. Unexpectedly, Evan made an appearance as early as in the first expansion pack, and within Tinas consciousness domain no less! Evan could see the caution on Tinas face. However, he didnt mind, simply giving her a slight smile, Allow me to introduce myself. I am Evan Goldsparrow, the third emperor of the Goldsparrow Empire. I presume youve heard of me? What?! You are the Guardian God Evan Goldsparrow? Tina was greatly surprised. Indeed. Evan spoke amicably, Youngdy, Ive sought you out because I sensed the aura of destiny emanating from you. The future of the Goldsparrow Empire may just be in the hands of both you and the little girl, Alyssa. Are you willing to contribute your strength for the future of the empire? Even though Tina was uncertain whether the elder before her was genuine, she still hesitated and nodded: I am willing to make utmost efforts for the glory of the Empire. But if you truly are the Guardian God Evan, why dont you take action yourself? Please understand, I am only a fourth-order warrior, while you are an eighth order! Well, thats a long story. My main body is currently battling in another ne and cannot return in time. Moreover, intervening in the main ne costs a great deal, and the current fragile ecosystem of the main ne cannot withstand such a cost. I see. Tina nodded. Even though she didnt fully understand his exnation, she got the sense that it was a significant issue. Evan continued, Tina, since you are willing to contribute to the empire, I wont let your efforts go unrewarded. What you see now is my avatar. From today onwards, my avatar will be constantly around you, protecting you. Creatures of the seventh order and below will no longer pose a threat to you. What you need to do now is to swiftly enhance your powers, be the captain of the Unicorn Knight Order, and then, along with that little girl Alyssa, reim the lost territories of the Empire. Be the captain of the Unicorn Knight Order? But Im not ready yet. Tina was a bit taken aback. She had only just joined the order a few days ago, and now she was expected to wrestle the position of captain from the currentmander, Grace. Was this even appropriate? No worries. In the tide of destiny, no one can ever truly say they are ready. Evan smiled, then turned to look at Su Yu, As for you, explorer of another realm. Upon hearing Evan mention his name, Su Yu immediately focused his attention on him. You helped Tina clear her obsessions. Well done! This small object is a token of our first meeting. With a wave of Evans hand, a golden streak of light flew from his hand right into the center of Su Yus palm. Ding, the main scenario [Saint of Orleans City (15/100)] has beenpleted. Calcting reward now . You have received an SSS rating for this scenario. Reward: [Gold Legend Stopwatch], Experience Pointsx20000. [Gold Legend Stopwatch] essory Active C Stasis: One-time use. You will be invincible and untargetable for 5 seconds, but unable to do anything else during this time (turning into a broken stopwatch). Note: Can be synthesized with [Explorers Armguard] and [Demons grimoire] to create the legendary essory, [Zhongya Hourss]; it can also be synthesized with [Storm Sword] and [Chainmail] to create the legendary chest armor, [Guardian Angel]. This is a good item! Su Yus eyes brightened. Five seconds of invincibility and untargetability is essentially a one-time life-saving trick! Though he already had plenty of life-saving skills, like [Ice Barrier] and [sh Skill]. But the more life-saving items he had, the better! Thank you very much, Lord Evan! Su Yu bowed to Evan. Youre wee. Evan waved at them. Ill see you in the future! Tina, if you encounter any problems during your training, ask me. My avatar will stay within a five-kilometer radius of you until you fully grow. Having said that, Evans figure began shaking irregrly, thenpletely vanished from Tinas consciousness domain. Chapter 158: 158, Legendary Hidden Task_1 Chapter 158: Legendary Hidden Task_1 Trantor: 549690339 After the departure of God Evan, vitality was immediately restored to the world. During the discussion conducted by the three, everything in the world was in a timeless state, until Evan left, it returned to normal. In the duel arena, the audience watched Su Yu in stunned silence, rendering the entire arena eerily quiet. What just happened?! The duel was going on fine, how did Tina suddenly sprout wings, instantly defeating the Legion Leader, Grace, and even turn into a man afternding? Were they dreaming? Su Yu ignored these non-existent spectators. At this moment, he looked at the towering Tina outside the field with satisfaction. Tinas bloodline was inherently of a bug-level status, bing stronger by absorbing Monster Blood Essence. Now Tina had gained an additional advantage C having God Evan as her personal mentor, an incredible strategist working by her side! In the foreseeable future, Tinas growth would be smooth sailing, her prospects limitless! However, for Su Yu, opportunities to encounter top yers in the game were rare. He would, of course, not pass up this opportunity and try to gain some advantage in any way possible. So, as Evans figure disappeared, Su Yu shouted loudly: Lord Evan, if I encounter any problems in cultivation, can I consult you as well? When meeting top yers, he was impudent enough to ask for guidance. Thick-skinned he may be but at least he had a chance. If he had stayed silent, he would have had no chance at all, much like his approach to pursuing women. You? A voice echoed from afar. Only after a while, the voice echoed back again: In consideration of your assistance to Alyssa and Tina this is how it is, if you can reach the Sixth-Order Sanctuary in your lifetime, I will give you the opportunity to be my student. Ding, congrattions on activating the legendary hidden mission [Favor of Evan Goldsparrow]. Mission requirement: Level up to Level 75 (Sixth Order), find Evan Goldsparrow in the entrance of Shining New World. Mission Reward: Be a student of Evan Goldsparrow. Okay, Teacher, I will definitely improve my strength as quickly as possible! Su Yu promised loudly. But this time he didnt receive any response. At this time, the gigantic Tinas body gradually shrank back to her original height of 1.68 meters and walked to Su Yus side. She didnt pay attention to the exchange between Su Yu and Evan, contemting other things with a hesitant face. Nemesis, Tina hesitated. Should I really follow God Evans advice and be themander of the Unicorn Knight Corps? Of course, my teacher would never harm you. Su Yu affectionately patted Tinas shoulder: And havent you ever thought of bing themander? I havent thought about it yet, Tina shook her head: Recently, Ive only been focusing on cultivating to be stronger. As for bing a legion leader its only been a few days since I joined the team! Well, you might want to start considering it now, Su Yu said seriously. You should understand the current situation of the empire, right? I of course. If you want to help the empire regain lost ground and help the princess defeat the rebellion, even if you cultivate to the Seventh Order, your personal strength wont be enough. You need to utilize the power of the Unicorn Legion, and even more troops, in order to provide significant assistance to the princess. Mmm, that makes sense, Tina heaved a sigh and bowed her head, contemting. After a while, she raised her head, her spirits lifted. Nemesis, Ive made up my mind! Ive decided to follow God Evans advice and be themander of the Unicorn Knight Corps as soon as possible. I might evenmand all the troops in Orleans City to provide the greatest assistance to the princess. Tina clenched her fists, her gaze serious: Not long ago, the princess almost got caught in Kaishi Town, with even the trusted Cat Morning Star from the Star Realm wounded heavily. The princess is in great danger right now. We need to rapidly expand our area of influence in order to help her! Thats right! The princess is indeed in grave danger, Su Yu nodded. But he suddenly realized something was amiss. Wait a minute, Tina, how did you know about the battle on Kaishi? Su Yu was stunned. If the Legion Leader, Grace, didnt know about the situation with the big battle, then how did Tina know about it? It couldnt be that Tinas channels to receive information are more than Graces, could it? I knew it Tina seemed to suddenly see the light, her face reddened: During thosest two hours, I had a weird dream. In the dream, I experienced all of your previous experiences. Tina shared the dream she just had. This dream was all about the significant events Su Yu had been through: From Su Yus face-off against the Star-forged Dragon King, to his visit to the princess, then negotiating in Maple City, and finally saving the princess in Kaishi Town. Tina experienced all of these events again in her dream. If it could be said that Su Yu had just experienced Tinas life and No one understands Tina better than him. Jpg Now, it would be No one understands Su Yu better than Tina. Jpg Uh I see, Su Yu was somewhat speechless about this task. At the time when he was experiencing major events in Tinas life, Tina was also experiencing the major urrences in his game life? What would that be considered? Body swapping? He didnt expect the ssic plot of a drama movie to appear in this task. But theres one thing, I always found it strange, pondered Tina, her left index finger pointing at her chin. Whats strange? Why do you have a tail? Tina was genuinely puzzled: I got control of some part of your body in the dream. I tried to touch that tail many times, but I never seeded. Su Yu: A tail? He actually appeared so strange in Tinas dream, even with a tail? In Su Yus mind, he couldnt help conjuring up the image of Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, hopping around with a long tail But, that didnt seem to matter. Su Yu coughed twice to switch the subject: We should leave the dream world as soon as possible, or something might happen in the real world. Alright, Tina nodded. She was kind of thinking of ripping open Su Yus clothes to see what the tail was, but she was too shy and also had to focus on the mission at hand. Ill have a chance to check it outter, Tina thought to herself, then concentrated her efforts,pelling herself to wake up in the real world as soon as possible. Su Yus consciousness also left her dream world as Tina forced him out, returning to his own body. Several minutester, in the resting room of the Orleans City Grand Arena, Su Yu and Tina, who had been unconscious moments before, slowly opened their eyes and sat up from the ground. Chapter 159: 159、Wow, thinking of a title is even more painful than writing the content_1 Chapter 159: 159Wow, thinking of a title is even more painful than writing the content_1 Trantor: 549690339 Thank heavens, youre finally awake! In the recreation room, the Legion Commander Grace exuded a relieved smile. It had been a day and a night since Tina had fallen unconscious. If Tina and Su Yu didnt wake up, they very well could end up in a vegetative state. Tina stood up and brushed off the fragments from the sofa she had been resting on. Gratefully, she said, Commander, thank you for waking me! Without you Youre wee, Tina. Grace lightly patted Tinas shoulder, speaking in both a kind andmanding tone: As themander of the Knights, this is what I should do. Seeing that Su Yu had also risen, Grace continued: Tina, I have some good news for you! Good news? Thats right. Ive investigated the details of yesterdays duel with Megan, and Megan certainly cheated. The potion she used was not made by herself. That is an egregious vition! affirmed Grace with a serious tone. Just as I suspected. Tina showed an alert expression, What will you do then? How will you penalize Instructor Megan? My n is Grace nced at Su Yu before continuing, My n is to remove Megan from her instructor position, banish her from the Unicorn Legion, and never employ her again! What about Kimberly? Su Yu crossed his arms and looked at Grace. He hadnt forgotten about the mastermind behind the scenes. As for Kimberly, Graces expression remained unchanged, Like Megan, she will be expelled from the Unicorn Legion, never to be employed again. Tina, are you satisfied with their punishment? Really? Im very satisfied. Tina was incredibly excited, her small face flushing. Thank you so much, Commander. Thank you for standing up for me! Tina stepped forward, holding Graces hand, overwhelmed with emotion. Had themander not stood up for her, she wouldnt have known what to do about Megan and Kimberly. You dont need to thank me. As amander, this is what I should do. If you want, you can thank the royal envoy Nemesis. Grace said, ncing at Su Yu. Nemesis, the royal envoy? Tina was a bit confused. Though she witnessed Su Yus major life events, she clearly couldnt connect him to the royal envoy. No worries, Tina. Su Yu smiled and walked towards Tina and Grace: Commander Grace, thank you so much for standing up for Tina. I believe Princess Alyssa will appreciate your actions! Its only right, said Grace modestly. That was the effect she had intended. If Su Yu could put in a good word for her in front of the Princess, the sacrifice of her niece would be worth it. But Su Yu continued, By the way, Commander Grace, I have another question for you. What is it? Its about your position as themander. Su Yu asked directly, If Tina wants to seed you as themander of the Unicorn Knight Corps in the short term, what should she do? Haha, youre such a joker. Graceughed boisterously, as if Su Yu was joking. Im not joking. Su Yu said seriously, And I believe that soon, Tina will seed you and be the newmander of the Knight Corps. Is that so? Lets wait and see! I have to leave for some business, Grace dismissed, heading towards the door of the recreation room. But once she turned her back, her face darkened severely, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly, clearly attempting to suppress her anger. Punishing her niece by expelling her from the Knight Corps was already a significant concession for Su Yu, the royal envoy! And now Su Yu was getting greedy, even nning to usurp her position as themander? You cant just climb thedder and reach for the sky, can you?! Even if it was the Princess herself, she would never relinquish her position as themander! Grace pulled open the door fiercely, for a moment, harboring thoughts of killing Su Yu to vent her anger. But when she opened the door, Grace found a person standing outside. It was an elderly man with white beard, dressed in a simple white robe, smiling at her pleasantly. May I ask who you are? Grace felt a jump in her heartbeat. The old man had been standing at the door, yet she didnt notice him at all, indicating that he was far more powerful than her. Without replying, the old man maintained his smile, releasing a wave of oppressive power that descended upon her from all directions. Thump! Grace was knocked to the ground by the force. To her horror, the oppressive power was so immense that she couldnt move a finger, let alone resist. Where where did this powerhousee from? This came as a bolt from the blue for Grace. Even the seventh-tier powerhouse, Xi Fan, couldnt suppress her like this. Who was this old man? From now on, listen to Tina. Do you understand? The old man spoke slowly, still maintaining his smile. I I Grace wanted to reply, but she was so heavily suppressed that she couldnt speak coherently, and her mind was extremely sluggish. Good as long as you understand. The old man withdrew his force. Then, in an instant, he vanished without a trace. After the old man left, Grace felt a sudden relief, and she returned to normal. Whew whew Grace was panting heavily, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest. Who was that just now? He was too scary! Graces fury had vanished without a trace, leaving only immense fear in her heart. Gazing at the severe oppression she had just undergone, if the old man had wanted to kill her, she would certainly be dead by now. Who would have thought Tina had such a high-level powerhouse by her side? This Grace could hardly express her panicked emotions. Tina didnt respond immediately, but first gave Su Yu a questioning nce. After receiving his confirmation, Tina replied, The man just now was the embodiment of the Empires guardian deity, Evan Goldsparrow. Evan Goldsparrow?! Grace gasped, feeling like she nearly had a heart attack on the spot. Its the guardian deity, God Evan! That was God Evans embodiment? She must be dreaming! No wonder the old man possessed such incredible power! Just his oppressive force alone was making it difficult for her to breathe. Considering this, in the whole Empire, only God Evan could suppress her to this extent with just an embodiment. Tina, I never would have expected that you drew the attention of God Evan. In Graces eyes, Tinas status rose tremendously. Initially, Tinas talent was unique. Now she had attracted the attention of the Empires top powerhouse, leaving only four words in Graces heart C a promising future. I just met His Deity as well. Furthermore, it was Evan who insisted that I be themander of the Unicorn Knight Corps so I can assist Princess Alyssa sooner, Tina exined. I see, Grace finally understood. So it was God Evan who wanted Tina to take her ce. Looking at it now, her position was definitely unretainable. Grace sighed. Chapter 160: 160, Return to Territory (Additional update)_1 Chapter 160: Return to Territory (Additional update)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Grace stood by the doorway of the lounge, her face clouded with indecision for a long while. In the end, she let out a long sigh, resigning herself to the situation: Tina, I will assist you in bing proficient in your role as Unicorn Knight Squadron Captain as quickly as possible. I will also suppress any dissenting voices within the squadron. Everything all for the Empire. All for the Empire, Tina replied softly. Tina felt a little awkward; after all, Grace had served as the captain for many years, and she was a neer who had just joined the squadron. She was even unaware of the organizational structure of the squadron yet here she was usurping Graces position. But for the Princess, for the Empire, for God Evan, she had no choice but to proceed. At this thought, Tina slightly shook her head. Commander, what should we do now? Should we return to the camp together? Return to the camp? Theres no hurry. I should first check on your health. Grace grabbed Tinas hand, using magic to detect the internal state of her body. After a thorough check, Grace slowly said, Tina, youve just broken through a boundary, and your foundation is not very solid yet. Moreover, your conscious fluctuations are also quite unstable. It would be better if you stayed at home to recuperate for the next two or three days. Ill handle the matters in the knight squadron in the meantime. Report at the camp in three days when you have returned to your peak state, and then I will officially hand over the position ofmander to you! Tina knew well that she needed a good rest and did not object. Alright, Ill go to the camp after resting for three days. Ill leave the camp matters up to you. Su Yu received an up-to-date game prompt on his end: Ding, your main plot has been updated! [Orleans City Saintess (16/100)]. Mission requirements: Follow Tina to the Unicorn Knight Squadron camp, witness Tina bing the captain of the Unicorn Knight Squadron. Mission countdown begins 5:59:58. Mission reward: 3000 Experience Points. After discussing the internal situation of the squadron, Grace bid farewell to Tina and hurried back to the camp. Meanwhile, Tina returned to her home on Pinecone Street with Su Yuspany. Nemesis, would you like toe in and sit? At Tinas home, Tina stroked the door frame of her dwelling, blinking her big eyes and asking. Not this time, I have important things to do, replied Su Yu softly. In truth, he was interested in visiting Tinas house, but the [Yulon Divine Statue] was still in the mailbox. He had to retrieve it and ce it in his territory as soon as possible. This statue could greatly shorten the construction period of the territory, so the earlier it is ced, the better. Alright then, you go ahead, Tina said, sounding slightly disappointed. Since Su Yu did not want to stay, she would have to while away the time alone at home. Sensing that Tina did not want to be home alone, Su Yu had a sudden inspiration: Tina, why dont I take you for a tour in my territory? After all, youre resting at home, going out without engaging in physical activities shouldnt affect anything. Visit your territory? Sure! Lets go right now! Tinas eyes lit up, and she immediately started to change her clothes. She had heard Su Yu mention his territory before and thought it would be nice to see it. . Twenty minutester, a medium-sized cargo ship was sailing downstream along the Moonlight River. This cargo ship belonged to the territory. The ship was loaded with salt, clothes, mirrors, and other goods needed by the residents, as well as some Sunstones that [Crazy Dave] had specifically requested. ording to the news from Swift, Dave was almost close to cultivating Sunflowers that produce more sunlight. And the Sunstone was one of the key materials needed to cultivate these sunflowers! In the previous life, Dave was controlled by NPC forces and had always failed to cultivate Sunflowers that produce more sunlight. If he could seed this time, it would undoubtedly be great news for the Humans of Blue Star! Therefore, upon receiving this news, Su Yu personally went to the market to buy enough Sunstones and used the cargo ship to transport them back to the territory. Whether he could seed or not depended on if Dave could pull it off! On the cargo ships deck, goblin businessman Veena ckgold, wearing a sharp ck suit, spoke to Su Yu in a spirited manner, Boss Nemesis, all the gambling ounts have been settled. After deducting taxes and fees for the organizers, we made a profit of 16.23 million spiritual energy coins! Heres all the money weve earned, please check! Veena ckgold carefully took a ck Magic Crystal Card out of his pocket and handed it to Su Yu. The figure disyed on the Magic Crystal Card was 17.43 million. The extra 1.2 million was the amount that Su Yu had already pre-paid to Tina. Veena ckgold single-handedly handled the collection of gambling debts, calctions, and tax assignments. Su Yu wasnt worried about him running off with the money because he had already joined the territory and had a loyalty greater than 90, eliminating any risk of escape. Su Yu nced at the numbers on the Magic Crystal Card without further ado. He casually attached it to his bag, and the spiritual energy coin bnce in his bag became: 7393093432. This figure not only didnt decrease from when he entered the game, but it also increased by more than 15 million. It seemed his money was only increasing. However, it would be quite easy to burn through this money. Su Yu looked at the [Yulon Divine Statue] in his bag. [Yulon Divine Statue (Special Item)] Effect: Offer tribute to the statue to grant your territory the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff. The more tribute offered, the stronger the buff effect. [Wind Calls Rain Orderly]: Blesses a territory with favorable weather and conditions, greatly improving the productivity of the people and significantly increasing the number of refugees. The [Yulon Divine Statue] can enhance the buff by burning money. Once its burned to a certain level and the [Mage Tower] is built, it can then indiscriminately burn money through the Mage Tower. While 7.4 billion Spiritual Energy Coins might seem a lot, they might be all burned up within a month once put to use. By then, he would have to consider whether to earn money himself or to cooperate with the relevant departments. Tina had been standing by Su Yus side all along. She leaned against the ships railing, witnessing the entire process of Su Yu collecting money. Hearing Veena ckgold mention that he made a one-time profit of over 16 million Spiritual Energy coins she was quite taken aback. My God, Nemesis! You actually made so much money at once? Over 16 million?! Its just pocket change, Su Yu replied nonchntly. By the way, are you making all this money to help the Princess build an army? Tina asked curiously. Er . Yes, thats right, its to help the Princess build an army. Tinas words offered a reminder to Su Yu: given the Princesss current shortage of funds, he could lend her some of his temporarily unused money. When the Princess unified the entire country, his money could probably double! Tina didnt have much of a concept of money. Seeing 16 million, she was slightly surprised and quickly got over it. She tiptoed to see both sides of the river bank. Nemesis, when will we arrive at your territory? We are already here, Su Yu pointed to a dock appearing on the horizon. That is the ce, once wend on the dock, we have arrived! Chapter 161: 161, Legendary Talent_1 Chapter 161: Legendary Talent_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yus fiefdom [Aphi Vige]. The wharf of the Aphi Vige has been expanded several times, extending nearly 50 meters from the riverbank. The waters on the fiefs riverbank are shallow, barely deep enough to moorrge cargo ships after stretching 50 meters out. A number of cargo ships, fishing boats, and small warships are docked along the 50-meter long wharf. Tina leans over the ships edge, carefully counting the amount of these boats. 1, 2, 3 52, 53, Nemesis, there are a total of 53 ships! Tinaughed to Su Yu. This trip gave Tina a sort of pic feeling, and shes especially pleased because she gets to enjoy thendscape and y in the waters with Su Yu. Yeah! There are already 53! In a few days, there will be hundreds of them! Su Yu said, a smile on his face. Currently, the drawing of the fiefdoms [Shipyard] has not been unlocked yet, the boats are mainly bought instead of being made. When the [Shipyard] is built in the future, they can start making boats on arge scale. But There are so many people on the wharf! Tina pointed at the crowded wharf: Are all these people residents in your fiefdom? Following the direction of Tinas finger, Su Yu found that the wharf was indeed crowded with people. Among them, the NPC residents were scarce, most of them were yers who came to watch the excitement. 20 minutes ago, Su Yu sent back the message Returning to the fiefdom with Tina. Upon receiving this message, the whole fiefdom was excited! Tina wasnt the unseen ruralss she used to be. Every one of her main quest videos has over 100,000+ views. Moreover, shes the protagonist of the main plotline, bing one of the top three most popr NPCs! She probably ranks a little less than Princess Alyssa. So when they heard that Tina wasing, the yers were very excited and flocked to the wharf to get a glimpse. These arent all my subjects, most of them are here for the spectacle. To watch the spectacle? Tina blinked her big puzzled eyes. It would be tooplicated to exin now. Just follow meter and remember not to get lost. Alright. Tina suddenly grabbed Su Yus hand, her eyes curved into crescents: We can hold hands, then you wouldnt have to worry about me getting lost. Su Yu: The cargo ship was moored at the wharf. Su Yu and Tina disembarked together. Seeing the living breathing Tina, the crowd at the pier immediately boiled up! Damn! Boss Ke actually brought her here! This game offers a high degree of freedom! So even the NPCs from the main plotline have free movement? Since Tina is here, could the visit of Princess Alyssa be far off? Hey! Hearing you say that, Im kind of looking forward to the princess arrival. Boss Ke, can I take a picture with Tina? Su Yu smiled and greeted the yers. We can do pictures another time! We still have important things to do. With that, Su Yu pulled Tina to the edge of the crowd and began to leave. Several people in the crowd were game anchors, such as The Maple Forest of Matsushima, Rapeseed Blossom, Evolution Brother At this moment, they all surrounded, aiming their cameras at Tina, while alsomunicating with their viewers: Everyone, look, Boss Ke is actually holding Tinas hand. Could yers and NPCs develop into intimate lover rtionships in the game? Especially The Maple Forest of Matsushima, he even made a close-up of Su Yu and Tinas holding hands. Seeing this, the barrage in his live streaming room immediately blew up: Wow, truly! Boss Ke is holding hands with Tina. Does that mean Tina has been taken by Boss Ke? You guys are overthinking! Its just holding hands, doesnt mean anything. (lemon) (lemon) But Boss Ke already has Dave! You scum! Did you forget your legal wife Dave? This game is set in a medieval background, maybe we can have multiple wives and concubines. Now, I dere, Dave is the main wife, Tina is the concubine! I dont agree! Where are we to ce our Princess Alyssa? Right, the princess is the main wife! Hold on, those who say the princess is the main wife! The princess is only 14 years old, you beasts! Officer Shu, its them! The barrage discussion did drift off quite a bit. As the yers are making noises at the wharf, Steward Kole isnt very pleased. He felt these strange adventurers were too carefree, showing disrespect to the master and honorable guest. So, he took the chance to push his way through the crowd and squeeze his way to Su Yus side. Master, wee back to the fiefdom! Kole bowed respectfully. Oh, Kole! Su Yu patted his shoulder: I was just about to find you, let me introduce you to a new colleague, Veena ckgold, who will be in charge of the fiefdoms foreign trade in the future. Su Yu pulled the goblin Veena ckgold, who was behind him, to the front and introduced him to Kole. A goblin? Kole raised an eyebrow. For these weak, green-skinned dwarves, Kole had a natural abhorrence. But since he was brought by the master, he suppressed his difort and shook hands with him: Wee to the fiefdom, Mr. ckgold. Hello, big guy. Veena ckgold, who is skilled in observing words and colors, keenly felt that Kole didnt like him. But for Boss Kes sake, he decided not to say anything. Su Yu also perceived the discord between his two subordinates, but he didnt mind it too much, figuring that it will always take time for different races to coexist harmoniously. Kole. Su Yu ordered, Youmand theborers to move the cargo from the ship to the vige. Also, send the [Sunstone] to Dave as quickly as you can. Understood, Master! Upon receiving the orders, Steward Kole suddenly became vigorous. Su Yu patted his shoulder again, then walked off towards the vige with Tina. [Aphi Vige] has been established for two days now, with its poption approaching two hundred people. The environment in the vige has greatly improvedpared with when it was first established. A ring of wooden fences outside the vige provides protection from external threats. Inside the vige, wide roads extend in all directions, with rows of new houses lining both sides of the roads. In the center of the vige, everything from pubs, zas, to hospitals are readily avable. The vigers have food to eat, work to do, and there isughter everywhere. Since they were in the vige and couldnt get lost, Su Yu let go of Tinas hand. Tina didnt mind, she was very curious about everything around her. Shed nce around excitedly, inspecting everything she could. Upon seeing a wild cat walking along the road, her childishness got the better of her and she rushed over, holding the cat in her arms and petting it enthusiastically, making the wild cat Meow incessantly. Nemesis, I really like the atmosphere of your vige. Tina said happily: In Nn Vige, we were all suffocated by the heavy taxes, many people have neverughed. But its different here! Tina took a deep breath and closed her eyes: I can feel it, the residents here are all very happy! I love this feeling! After we help princess regain her lost territories, I want to settle down in your vige. Would you ept me then? Ding, legendary talent [Tina Garcia] wants to join your fiefdom in the future, do you ept? Chapter 162: 162、Effect_1 of 【Yulon Statue】 Chapter 162: 162Effect_1 of Yulon Statue Trantor: 549690339 Upon hearing Tina say everyone in the vige lives happily, Su Yu showed a face ofplete agreement. His territory and the relevant departments have a deep cooperation. The relevant departments, as a key unit of the Country, are full of top talents from all walks of life. In terms of construction nning, Aphi vige got guidance from top city nners. What each plot in the territory should be used for was nned clearly; In building the residents mentality (mainly to ensure habitability), Su Yu also discussed with relevant professionals and developed a detailed welfare improvement n. Humans are never satisfied, and the same goes for the residents of Su Yus fief. They always have growing material and cultural needs. So from the beginning, Su Yu set the welfare of his residents quite low, and then gradually increased it. At first, the residents could only receive a reward of 10 spiritual energy coins every two hours, which was then gradually increased to 11, 12, 13 spiritual energy coins every two hours. The residents found that their ie increased somewhat every once in a while, filling them with energy, thus they naturally felt happy. He didnt anticipate that there would be additional benefits. Because the residents lived happily, they actually attracted Tina, who aspired to this kind of life! Tina, wee to settle in my territory. I will definitely find you a house you like the most when the timees! Then its a deal. Tina smiled. The two of them were talking as they arrived at the [City Hall]. On the small za in front of the city hall, Su Yu directly took the [Yulon Divine Statue] out of his backpack. Ding, do you want to ce the [Yulon Divine Statue] in the [City Hall]? Once the statue bes effective, it will be bound to your territory, and you will not be able to trade it to other yers. ce it. Ding, the [Yulon Divine Statue] has been sessfully ced. Please click on [Detailed Information] to view detailed attributes. The appearance of the [Yulon Divine Statue] is divided into two parts C the base and the sculpture. The base part is a jade-green jade stone column with a diameter of 2 meters and a height of 3.24 meters; On top of the jade stone column is carved a lifelike jade-green five-wed divine dragon. This divine dragon is one of the four Supreme Heavenly Gods of the Pandamen Empire C [Yulon]. Opening [Detailed Information], the attributes of the statue appeared before Su Yus eyes. [Yulon Divine Statue (Special Item)] Items that can be sacrificed today: Monster Materials Buff obtained from sacrifice: [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] Current addition: Production efficiency of subjects +0%; Attraction to wanderers +0%; Technology research speed +0%; Marvel Addition +0%. . The items that the [Yulon Divine Statue] can be offered daily are not the same. Today monster materials can be sacrificed, at other times it will require other things, such as special architectural blueprints, energy potions, specified equipment, etc. Monster materials are the special materials dropped from monsters. Take a level 4 wild monster [Slope Sheep] as an example. The [Horn of Slope Sheep (White)] dropped by the regr [Slope Sheep] is a monster material, with a drop rate of about 1%. But other materials such as [Slope Sheeps Meat], [Slope Sheeps Bones], etc., are not considered as a monster material. Monster materials can be used to make equipment, and they are also the main material for the [Mage Tower] to convert into experience points. Su Yu has not taken any interest in purchasing low-level monster materials because those provide fewer experience points and a mass purchase would affect the yers development speed. Now that the [Yulon Divine Statue] requires this, mass purchases are necessary. Purchase does not require Su Yu to personally go to the stockpile to collect goods. Su Yu opened the guild channel and sent a few messages inside. It didnt take long for his mailbox to be flooded with cash-on-delivery emails. Each email contained monster materials sent by guild members. Su Yu came to the mailbox in front of the city hall, paid for the emails one by one, collected all the monster materials into his backpack, and then turned around and ced them on the statues altar. Not long after the monster materials were ced on the altar, they gradually melted and merged with the entire statue. At the same time, the five-wed divine dragon on top of the statue burst into a jade-green light, and from the dragons mouth emerged a hazy green gas that gradually spread throughout the territory. Su Yus backpack has only 50 slots. He threw all the items in his backpack into the city hall to free up slots for transporting the monster material. After sacrificing two full backpacks of monster materials, or 100 monster materials in total, Su Yu checked the added attributes of the statue. [Yulon Divine Statue (Special Item)] Current addition: (Lasts for 24 hours) Production efficiency of subjects +6.67%; Attraction to wanderers +6.67%; Technology research speed +6.67%; Marvel Addition +0%. Seems good! The average level of these monster materials I received is 10, 20 spiritual energy coins each. Materials worth 2000 spiritual energy coins providing such a great addition, it can be considered cost-effective! Su Yu nodded. But he didnt stop and kept shuttling between the altar and the mailbox. At the same time, he recorded the added value each time he offered two backpacks of monster materials. After he offered a total of 300 monster materials, the statues addition became: Production efficiency of subjects +20%; Attraction to wanderers +20%; Technology research speed +20%. But after reaching a full 20%, the difficulty of increasing the value rose exponentially. After sacrificing about 600 monster materials, the three value additions all increased to 40%; After sacrificing about 1200 more monster materials, the three value additions increased to 60%. In the end, Su Yu called a few guild members to help offering monster materials. After offering a total of about 9300 monster materials, the three value additions all increased to 100%. 100% should be the maximum value of the altar. No matter how much Su Yu offered after that, the three values remained unmoved. As more and more offerings were made, the green mist vomited by the five-wed divine dragon grew thicker. Gradually, the entire territory was shrouded in a jade green mist. The mist is harmless and has a faint scent of grass when inhaled, which is refreshingly pleasing! After inhaling the green mist, the residents became energetic. Both their physical and mental strengths were much stronger than before. Their work was more spirited, improving the overall efficiency by one times! Su Yu opened the Territory Technology Tree in the [City Hall] and found that there was a -50% buff behind the [Shipbuilding Technique] currently under research, reducing the required time by half. Indeed, the green mist also works on territory technology. Counting like this, 9300 monster materials, that is, 186,000 spiritual energy coins to obtain a buff increase for a day, I can afford this. Su Yu thought to himself. But Su Yu still felt it was a bit slow. After all, he has more than seven billion spiritual energy coins, and he can still afford to spend 100 million to burn the divine statue for more than a year. But I remember the remarks of the [Yulon Divine Statue] showed that the marvel building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] can provide addition to the statue. So before the start of Tinas main line in a few hours, let me get this marvel building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]! Su Yu made a decision. Chapter 164: 164, A Strange CP Was Born_1 Chapter 164: A Strange CP Was Born_1 Trantor: 549690339 Alright, leave the monster siege to me, Swift confidently dered. Su Yu stepped forward and opened up a trade panel with Swift, transferring 100,000 spiritual energy coins to her. Youve been working hard these past few days, this money is your bonus, Su Yu patted her shoulder in encouragement. Seeing the amount of spiritual energy coins, Swift was stunned. The current exchange rate of spiritual energy coins in the ck Market was still around 1:3 Flower Coins. So 100,000 spiritual energy coins were equal to 300,000 Flower Coins! Unexpectedly, Su Yu was gifting her a bonus of 300,000! That was generous beyond belief! Theres really no need for a bonus, Swift said shyly, Sky Dragon has already tripled my sry, which is a very generous offer. Su Yu shook his head. Sky Dragon is Sky Dragon, I am me. If you do well in the future, there will be even more bonuses. Go for it! Thank you, Guild Leader! Swift was overtaken with excitement. Oh, one more thing, Su Yu said as he moved to Dimas side, mounting his horse and giving her an order: After the monster siege is over, youre to gather all the farmers and yers in our territory and have them go to the [Gold Mine] to dig for gold. Within two hours, I want our gold reserves to reach 1,500 units. Understand? The territory hadnt been intentionally storing up gold before, using just enough for technology upgrades and keeping reserves at 406 units. But now, they were almost ready to construct a wonder. Construction of a wonder required 1000 wood, 1000 stone, and 1000 gold. Also, now that research in the territory had doubled in speed, it also required arge amount of gold. Thats why Su Yu had to stress it. I willplete the task! Swift immediately answered. Then Ill be off first, you guys continue with your tasks! Su Yu sat on his horse, waving to Swift and the other guild yers, then he and Tina galloped off towards Orleans City. The team of yers that Swift had recruited from the wandering civilians were known as the Refugee team, and it was made up of numerous girls. Seeing Su Yu and Tina riding together on the same horse, a few girls came to Swift and chattered: Swift, why are the Guild Leader and Tina sharing a horse? Exactly, how could they be so intimate? Its just too much! Su Yu hadnt gone far when he heard these girls discussing. He thought to himself: Could these girls be admiring me? Theyre ufortable seeing me share a horse with Tina. Should I consider their feelings? With that thought, Su Yu gently nudged the horses belly to signal Dima to slow down. He wanted to hear what these girls would talk about next. But what he heard was unexpected. How could he forget about hiswful wife, Dave, one girl in the Refugee team raised her voice high, obviously intending for Su Yu to hear. The other girls strongly agreed: Exactly, how could he be with Tina behind Daves back? Gosh, what a scumbag! Su Yu: What were they talking about? Did I sit on Dima incorrectly? A guy in the Refugee team couldnt stand it anymore and said, Can you guys stop making these weird pairings? Cant you have some normal tastes? Another guy agreed, Thats right. Even though Daves unmarried, hes at least forty or fifty with a bristly beard. Arent you girls about chasing after good-looking guys when shipping CPs? How can you even bear to ship this? As soon as the two males finished their words, the girls began to refute: What do you know? Exactly, what do you know? We ship this couple because theres factual basis! Absolutely! The boys were skeptical, Factual basis? Yes! the girls made their case: Havent you guys realized it? The Guild Leader is usually indifferent to both yers and NPCs and he even keeps a distance with goddess-tier beings like Tina or Swift. But he treats Dave exceptionally well. Yes, the other night when Dave fell ill, the Guild Leader promptly returned by ship and brought back five or six high-ranking priests. Anytime Dave wants something, the Guild Leader personally goes to buy it for him and then mails it back. If this isnt love, then what is? Isnt this love? Listening to the girls heated arguments, the boys in the Refugee team were speechless. It seemed to be true! The Guild Leader was aloof to everyone, except for Dave whom he treated with an overflowing enthusiasm. Could there be an illicit love affair between them? But that shipping CP was truly hard for them to swallow! Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was riding away on Dima, was caught betweenughter and tears. What on earth was all this? His enthusiasm to Dave was a necessity. Who else would provide the yers with [Sunflowers] in the future? How did that get twisted around by the yers? Whats wrong? Tina noticed Su Yus fluctuating emotions from behind, she turned and asked. Nothing, Su Yu shook his head, he held Tinas waist tighter, rested his head on her shoulder, They said that Ive been cold towards you, keeping my distance. Now theres no distance between us. Whinny! Dima seemed displeased with the physical contact from its two human riders, she whinnied lightly inint. But she was only a pure-hearted little mare, she couldnt do much besides carrying them quickly toward their destination. About ten minutester, Su Yu and Tina arrived at Pearl City. Pearl City, located at the southeast coast of the Empire, has a poption of half a million and ranks as the secondrgest city, following only Goldfinch City. Also, it is a crucial hub for maritime transportation worldwide. It has created trade routes with both the Wind Chime Empire and Lai Yin Empire, over half of the Empires overseas trade is conducted here. Because of its densely popted and booming business environment, it became the primary city where yers gathered after the third DLC Pandaren Empire was released. Su Yu was very familiar with Pearl City. Pearl City hadnt been devastated by war like Goldfinch City had in future DLCs, only one major event called [Pearl Harbour Air Raid] had attacked the city. Therefore, the citysyout had not changed from his previous life. Su Yu quickly found Master Craftsman [Mosangrik Iron Tongs] in the Craftsman Area after leading Tina through the winding streets within the city. Inside a cksmith shop at 147 Beehive Street in the Craftsman Area. Looking at the fist-sized, neither-gold-nor-jade badge in Su Yus hand, the dwarf Master Craftsman Mosangrik Iron Tongs widened his eyes in astonishment: This could it really be the badge of the Guardian God? Of course. Su Yu replied in a solemn tone, I am Nemesis, the future student of the Guardian God himself. This badge was personally handed to me by His Excellency. You? Mosangrik Iron Tongs looked Su Yu up and down, clearly skeptical. Su Yu appeared to be over twenty but his actual strength was only at the first stage. How could the Guardian God possibly take interest in such a weakling? The girl next to him seemed like a much more usible choice. Although he didnt doubt the authenticity of the badge, Mosangrik frowned and asked, What do you want from me? Chapter 165: 165. Trip to Pearl City (Extra updates for Dusk King)_1 Chapter 165: 165. Trip to Pearl City (Extra updates for Dusk King)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Thats the case, Su Yu politely exined, I came to see you because I want to buy the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] from you. I hope you could sell it to me. [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]? The Dwarf Masters brow furrowed deeper: This is my proudest collection over the years, even if the guardian god sent you, I cant I can pay a high price! Its not about the money 10 million spiritual energy coins! I already said its not about the money, even if you offered a hundred million, I wouldnt easily hand it over to you, said the Dwarf Master, unperturbed and not swayed by therge sum of spiritual energy coins. Then what do you want? Su Yu asked patiently, If you want to exchange equal value items, I have the blueprints for the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] spectacle. Oh? [Terracotta Army]? The Dwarf Masters eyes brightened, evidently interested. Yes, its the [Pandaman Terracotta Army]. Su Yu opened his bag to take out the blueprints. But after opening the bag, he found it waspletely empty, with nothing inside. Su Yu then remembered that when he emptied his bag earlier for transportation of the offerings, he had left the [Terracotta Army] blueprint in the town hall. The old dwarf stroked his chin and thoughtfully said: The [Pandaman Terracotta Army] must be some new odd building of the Pandamen Empire Well! You pass some of my tests, and Ill exchange the blueprint with you. Ding, congrattions for triggering the epic hidden mission [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. Do you ept? ept. Ding, mission epted, Epic Hidden Mission [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (1/20)]. Mission request: Clear single-yer dungeon [Fairy Tale Kingdom lv28], eliminate bosses [Pony Paulie], [Lamb Shaun], [Peppa Pig], [Little Bunny], acquire [Brilliant Wisdom Crystal (Epic)] X4. After epting the mission, Su Yu nced at Mosangrik Iron Tongs, didnt think that this hairy dwarf uncle is quite childish! Tina, you wait here for a bit, Ill be back soon! Su Yu said to Tina beside him. Okay. Tina, who was appreciating the master craftsmans handmade artwork, nodded in response. In the following four hours, Su Yu sessfully aplished the 20 round hidden mission given by the Dwarf Master. The content of these 20 rounds of missions was very rich, including dungeon rushing, killing field monsters, solving puzzles, finding people, collecting materials, and more, some of them even tested knowledge rted to ancient architecture: What does Brackets mean? What is Golden Box Bottom Trough? What are themonly used column styles inrge buildings within the Goldfinch Empire? With his gaming skills and the off-court help from relevant departments, Su Yu barely passed these rounds of architectural knowledge tasks. In thest round of the mission, Su Yu specially went back to the territory to fetch the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] blueprint to Pearl City, only then he finally got the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests (Spectacle)] Blueprint Building required territory scale: Medium Vige Materials required for construction: wood 1000 units, stone 1000 units, gold 1000 units Building effect: Gain the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff for the territory through offering sacrifices. Remark: The single man ismissioned by heaven, whose life extends over many an age. The properties of [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] ovep with those of [Yulon], but when put together, they can have a superimposed effect. In the medium vige level territory, only one spectacle can be built, and another spectacle can be built every time the scale is upgraded. Once the scale is upgraded to [City], two more spectacles can be built every time it is upgraded. Of course, the first spectacle in Su Yus vige would be [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests], and he would gradually deal with more spectaclester. The Dwarf Master took the blueprint of the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] curiously and opened it for a look. But after just a few nces, his face gradually showed disappointment. He looked up at Su Yu, his eyes full of deep regret: Hey, kid, I think Ive been cheated! How were you cheated? The blueprint I gave you is not fake. I didnt say it was a fake blueprint But this kind of blueprint doesnt have any architectural artistry. Its just some carvings. Its of no use to me. Mosangrik Iron Tongsid the blueprint out on the table, showing a pained expression. The old dwarf was passionate about architectural craftsmanship, especially the architectural craftsmanship of the Eastern Pandamen Empire. He regarded the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] blueprint as a heavenly treasure after obtaining it and always considered it the most valuable collection he had. The old dwarf didnt know what the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] was and thought it would be just like the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests], containingplex architectural techniques. To broaden his horizon, he agreed to exchange blueprints with Su Yu. But he never expected, the [Terracotta Army] blueprint was all about sculpting techniques. As he was not interested in sculpting techniques, he was naturally very disappointed. Su Yu had already put the blueprint for the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] in his bag and smiled when he heard the old dwarf: Your regret is useless, the exchange is alreadypleted. Ah! The Dwarf Master let out a sigh, filled with regret. Then how about this! Su Yu suddenly thought of something, and his eyes turned: Since youre not interested in the [Pandaman Terracotta Army], why dont you sell me the blueprint? I can offer ten million spiritual energy coins. Hearing Su Yus offer, Mosangrik Iron Tongs nodded slightly, also thinking of selling the blueprint. But he would certainly raise the price before selling: Ten million? Let me tell you, this thing is worth more than ten million Youre right, its not worth ten million. Su Yu went on with his words: Six million should be about right, thank you for reminding me! Saying that, Su Yu even shed him a simple smile. Six million?! The old dwarf felt like his heart disease was about to strike. He was shouting in his heart: I said its worth more, not worth less, are you young people deaf? Are you trying to kill this old man with anxiety? He clenched his fists, even wanting to punch Su Yu. But Su Yu pretended not to know his thoughts, and continued: Six million is also too much? Then lets say four million. This should be the true worth of this blueprint. Uncle dwarf, we have a deal for four million! Forget it forget it. The old dwarfs face was as ck as ink: Eight million, final offer, sold to you. Yet, Su Yu firmly held out five fingers: Five million! This is myst offer, sell if you will, if not, Tina and I will leave immediately. Old Dwarf: In the end, Su Yu sessfully bought the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] blueprint again at the price of five million spiritual energy coins. This trip to Pearl City had thereforee to a temporary end. Chapter 166: 167, Return to territory, build wonder_1 Chapter 166: 167, Return to territory, build wonder_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the four hours spent doing tasks in Pearl City, only two were spent actuallypleting tasks, with the rest of the time spent waiting for tasks to start. Given these waiting intervals, the old Su Yu would have certainly found some hidden tasks to upy himself. But considering Tina, who was with him, Su Yu decided against seeking out hidden tasks. Instead, he chose to apany Tina around Pearl City, walking the streets, shopping for clothes, looking at the sea, eating seafood as if taking a small break for himself. Ever since his reincarnation, Su Yu had not dared to rest for even a moment, always maintaining high alert. Once online, he would throw himself into tasks, level up, and develop his territory; Offline, apart from eating and sleeping, he was instructed by Xue Wenli to find and kill ghosts under her guidance. He basically had not had a single moment of leisure. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Yu decided to give himself a short break. After all, rigidity makes things prone to breaking! After enjoying their time and obtaining a blueprint for a spectacr building in Pearl City, Su Yu and Tina returned to Orleans City via teleportation, and he sent her home. At the door to Tinas house on Pinecone Street. Tina leaned against the door frame, eating cotton candy Su Yu bought for her, with a happy smile on her face, Nemesis, I really enjoyed the trip to Pearl City! I hope we can get the chance to go again. Ding, [Tina Garcia]s affection for you has increased by +2, rising to Enthusiastic. Ding, you have obtained 3 points of World Prestige. [Enthusiasm] is the highest level of an NPCs favorability. Once this level is reached, both parties could be regarded as close friends. Moreover, once the [Enthusiasm stage] is reached, many moreplex features will be unlocked. These will be discussed when theye into use. We will have another chance, said Su Yu with a smile. Itste now, I need to go back to my territory. I will go to the barracks with you tomorrow morning! Goodbye, Nemesis, Tina waved. But seriously, arent youing in for a bit? Tina patted the door frame. She had bought lots of beautiful dresses in Pearl City and really wanted to show them to Nemesis. Not this time, but definitely next time! After saying goodbye to Tina, Su Yu took the [Hearthstone] out of his backpack and activated it. The next moment, he found himself inside the city hall of his territory. Thest time he returned to the city hall for the blueprint of the [Pandaman Terracotta Army], Su Yu bound his [Hearthstone] to the city hall, which meant he would no longer need to take a ship back to his territory, saving a lot of travel time. Now, the city hall had been entirely renovated! Four hours ago, his territory had easily withstood the monster attack, advancing to the [Medium Vige] stage. Upon this upgrade, all buildings within the vige could be renovated and upgraded from [lv1] to [lv2]. As the city hall was the most important building within the territory, it naturally became the first upgrade target. Following its renovations, the stone walls on the first floor of city hall had been significantly strengthened, and the interior became more luxurious. Of course, the most important thing was that once it reached [lv2], the territorys [Tech Tree] gained new research content. Advances could then be made in [Currency Trade], [Craft Workshop], and [Animal-Powered Farming]. Another thing worth mentioning: an [Awards Chest] had been added on the western side of city halls interior, housing rewards from the previous monster attack. Victory led to the following rewards: [Food] x1000, [Gold] x300, 20 iron armors, 30 knives and swords, 10 longbows, 2000 feather arrows. In addition, there were two badges made of metal[Glory of the City Defender (Special Item)]. [Glory of the City Defender (Special Item)] Territory Personnel essory Effect: Binding it raises the personnel quality to [Rare]. Note: Lin ke went to teach, Mary opened a small shop, and I fought bloody battles for my Lord. We all possess a bright future! [Glory of the City Defender]? This is a good thing! Su Yus eyes lit up. This kind of badge was rarely obtained in the city defense battle, and he wasnt expecting to get one this time, let alone two! Am I really that lucky? It couldnt have been the Sky Dragon? Su Yu sent a message to the Sky Dragon: Skrk, did you participate in the monster city attack just now? Yes! Sky Dragon replied quickly, Of course I had to participate in something as fun as a monster city attack! By the way, there were so many monsters that the meat couldnt be finished, we suffered a loss because you werent there! I see. Su Yu nodded. As expected, he had obtained the two badges thanks to the high luck of the Sky Dragon. It seemed he would have to involve the little loli in territory affairs more often. With these two badges, Su Yu could boost the quality of two of his territory personnel to rare. After some thought, he decided to give one badge to his butler, Kole, and the other to the old carpenter, Brooke. There was no need to exin about Kole; improving his attributes not only improves territory management but also attracts more refugees; By upgrading old carpenter Brooke to rare, his house-building skills improve and be faster. Hopefully, under his guidance, the construction of the spectacle will speed up! Su Yu put two badges in his backpack and left the city hall. Outside, Aphi Vige had be arge construction site. After upgrading to a medium vige, each building could be upgraded to [lv2]. Su Yu released a statement. Swift was directing the farmers, carpenters, and masons versed in construction. One NPC and 10 yers were renovating and upgrading all the buildings in the territory. The territory had long stored enough wood and stone for the upgrade, and they were now using these resources to transform buildings across the vige. Su Yu looked around; everywhere was a bustling construction site. Attention, everyone. Su Yu opened the guild panel and posted a message in the chat channel: Everyone firstly finish the building upgrades at hand, then everyone go to the wonder construction plot and gather! The wonder construction plot was in the east of Aphi Vige, about 3.4 kilometers away. It was a plot that had been allocated, cleaned of trees and stones, and had roads built. Su Yu initially nned to build the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] here, but now it seems that he will have to start with the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. The guild channel was bustling, with everyone sharing their construction progress and chatting in the channel. Upon seeing Su Yus post, everyone was immediately excited: Guild leader, have you already obtained the blueprint for the wonder? Is it [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]? The thought of building a wonder in-game is already so exciting! We just finished upgrading this [residence], well head over now! Some yers also raised questions: Guild leader, I have a friend who is a streamer who wants to live stream the construction of the wonder, do we agree? I also have a friend who wants to witness thepletion of the wonder and wants to join in the excitement, can hee? Su Yu: Outsiders cane, but they cannot affect our construction progress, let alone maliciously disrupt! Swift, set up a temporary supervision group of 10-20 people to monitor if any yer is causing trouble. Once you find someone causing trouble, put them on the cklist and send it to Zhen Hong and his team for handling. Swift: Understood! Chapter 167: 168, Start Building Wonder_1 Chapter 167: 168, Start Building Wonder_1 Trantor: 549690339 Soon after, arge troop made up of yers and NPC residents flocked toward the wondend with loads of timber and stone. Su Yu, on the other hand, was already there, having brought the old carpenter, Brooke, to discuss how to construct the spectacle. They inspected the plot and delved into the blueprints. In the end, old carpenter Brooke confidently assured, Dont worry, Sir! The construction methods in the blueprints are crystal clear; Im confident that I can build it! Thats good, Su Yu patted his shoulder, satisfied, Ill leave this building to you and will send you a little giftter. A little gift? The old carpenter was curious. Su Yu just shook his head with a smile, declining to answer him. As time went by, therge troop began to arrive on the scene. Other than the construction crew, the viges yers who came to watch the hustle also gathered and stood behind the crew. After all, this was the yers territorys first wonder, and everyone was curious. Once everyone was roughly assembled, Su Yu hosted a small groundbreaking ceremony. The ceremony was simple; there was no viewing stand, no red carpet, and no leader giving a speech, Su Yu just spoke a few words while standing on the mound. Brooke, Cole, Su Yu called out to the packed crowd below. Lord (sir), old carpenter Brooke and steward Cole stepped out from the crowd. Su Yu took out two [Glory of the City Defender] badges from his backpack and handed one to each of them: Youve been working hard! To reward your achievements, Im giving you these two badges. They symbolize the highest honor in the territory! Moreover, the badges have special effects; youll know once you wear them. Thank you, my Lord (sir)! They dly received the badges and wore them on their chests. However, right as they put them on, a surge of vast knowledge emerged from the badges and rushed into their minds. In an instant, they felt like they had undergone aplete transformation. Not only did they grasp a lot of new knowledge in a very short span of time, but they alsoprehended knowledge they didnt know before! From Su Yus perspective, both of their attributes had improved significantly: [Cole] Quality: Rare upation: Steward Trait 1: [Announcement Posting]: When acting as the chief steward of a territory, will announce recruitment of disced civilians in the main city, increasing the number of disced people by 15%. Trait 2: [Pacifying]: When acting as the chief steward of a territory, if theres an uprising, the habitability rating wont decline significantly. Trait 3: [Law and Order Management]: Good at managingw and order and mediating disputes. Slightly increases the habitability of the territory. [Brooke] Quality: Rare upation: Carpenter Trait 1: [Wood and Stone Construction]: Skilled in building wooden and stone houses, can slightly improve the prosperity of a territory. Trait 2: [Top-notch Wood Craftsmanship]: The wooden products manufactured are durable and of high quality. Trait 3: [Energetic]: Can handle long working hours, work efficiency +30%. Feeling the changes in themselves, both the steward and the old carpenter realized what Su Yu had given them. Steward Cole waspletely stunned. The old carpenter, on the other hand, knelt down before Su Yu with a thud and said, Thank you, my Lord, for granting me new life. I, Brooke, vow to devote the rest of my life to serving you! Brooke was crying so hard he was a mess at Su Yus feet. He was originally an old and frail ordinary carpenter at risk of dying from starvation. Now that he had received the knowledge bestowed by the badge, he had be a senior carpenter and didnt have to worry about going hungry in hister years! The loyalty value of the old carpenter also shot up to the full value of 100. Unfortunately, the maximum value is only 100, or else the value would definitely be higher. Get up, this is what you deserve, Su Yu helped the old carpenter stand up. Then he looked at the other people in the field and said loudly, As for the rest of you. Su Yu held up five fingers: On the day the wonder ispleted, everyone will get a one-time reward of 500 spiritual energy coins! I hope everyone can do their jobs well. 500 spiritual energy coins!!! All the people present were shocked. 500 spiritual energy coins amounted to more than 1500 yuan. And the construction of a wonder only takes a few days, offering a hefty bonus in such a short period! Long live the guild leader! The guild leader is generous! The guild leader is impressive! The guild leader will live forever! The guild leader will rule all under heaven! Wave after wave of cheers erupted from the crowd. Many people rolled up their sleeves, full of enthusiasm! Su Yu nodded slightly, then he looked at the beautiful woman beside him, Swift: Swift, afterpletion, select the top five performers, promote them as guild executives and give them an additional reward of 1000 spiritual energy coins. Understood! Swift smiled. !!! Hearing Su Yus words, the warriors and knight yers in the guild couldnt suppress the primitive force within them. They carriedrge timber and stones, taking advantage of the high loading limit, and ran toward the construction site. Wait for us! The Druid Hunter yers also became anxious and rushed in right after them. The spectators eyes were also turning green with envy: Damn, 500 spiritual energy coins? I spend a whole day doing quests and choose only high spiritual energy coin rewards and at most I can only get 100 spiritual energy coins. Yeah! Im so jealous! I regret it so much! I regret not signing up immediately when Boss Ke was recruiting for the guild. Its really great to build houses in this beautiful ce and also get a high sry in Boss Kes guild! There should be a chance to join in the future. Boss Kes territory will gradually expand to cities, 500 members are certainly not enough, the guild will definitely recruit Lets not talk about it, we should hurry over too! The first wonder in the game just thinking about it feels epic! The audience also followed suit. Under themand of old carpenter Brooke, the construction of the wonder officially began! This wonder attracted no small attention both inside and outside the game. Inside the game, many yers heard that a wonder was going to be built in Su Yus territory and flocked there to join in the excitement; Outside the game, various major live streaming tforms also focused on the construction of the wonder, with many game livestreamers doing a full live broadcast of the wonders construction. Arge number of yers gathered in Su Yus territory, making it unprecedentedly lively. As for Su Yu, he stayed in the territory for an hour before leaving all estate affairs to Swift and departing the territory. By now, Swift was nearly his secretary. There were jobs to do, and it was normal for the secretary to do them. As for the construction of [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. Since the structure of [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] isplex, and despite having the boost from the [Yulon statue] and an abundance of building materials, Su Yu estimated that it would still take three to four days for the wonder to bepleted. This was already a very good pace. In the past, even with abundant materials and manpower, building such a wonder would still take five days for those big guilds. So Su Yu wasnt in a hurry. He would first continue with the main quests and patiently await thepletion of the wonder. Chapter 168: 168、【Plot Self-Determination】Function_1 Chapter 168: 168Plot Self-DeterminationFunction_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the 16th phase of the main storyline, Su Yu follows Tina to the camp of the Unicorn Knights. The knights camp is located 5 kilometers north of Orleans City. The Unicorn Corps has a history of nearly a hundred years. After a hundred years of development, arge town has developed on the south side of the camp Unicorn Town. Su Yu has been to Unicorn Town a few times; the streets of the town are bustling with cars and horses, the buildings are dense, and its prosperity is not inferior to Orleans City, just on a smaller scale. At the entrance of Unicorn Town, Grace, themander of the corps, stands solemnly on a somewhat old unicorn, ready to wee Tinas arrival. Eight female officers follow her. These eight female officers are all senior members of the Unicorn Knights, ranging in age from 20 to 40. The expressions of the eight female officers vary. Some are stunned, some are puzzled, some are indifferent, some are envious Despite their different reactions, they all face the direction where Tina ising from with serious expressions. Soon, Tina, dressed in shiny golden armor and riding a unicorn, appears at the end of the road. Following her is Su Yu, riding Dima. However,pared to the imposing Tina, Su Yu seems somewhat insignificant. Upon seeing Tina, Grace, themander, was immediately energized and began to guide her unicorn to meet Tina. The other seniors hurriedly followed. Midway along the road, Tina and the senior officers of the Unicorn Corps formally met. Tina, youre finally here! Grace greeted Tina, with a warm smile on her face. Madam Grace, and other senior officers, Im honored to meet you! Tina quickly greeted the senior officers. She had met Commande Grace many times, but she was meeting most of the other senior officers for the first time. Even though she was about to seed as themander, she still had to observe the necessary etiquette. Dont stand on ceremony, just call us by our names from now on! Grace warmly patted Tinas shoulder and introduced the senior officers behind her. This is Fiona Windsor, deputymander of the Knights, and the one I originally designated as my sessor. Fiona Windsor was a mature woman in light silver armor with short red hair. Fiona didnt speak, she just respectfully bowed to Tina. As Graces once-designated sessor, it was impossible for her to not have any opinion on Tinas surprise appointment asmander. But Tinas appointment was the will of the Guardian God, and she could only suppress all reluctance and ept reality. Grace continued to introduce to Tina: This is Cami, also a deputymander of the Knights, responsible for logistics Over the next period of time, Grace introduced all the senior officials present one by one. Tina shook hands with each of them, thus getting to know them. After the introductions, the senior officers of the Knights gathered around Tina, enthusiastically asking: Tina, what is your rtionship with the Guardian God? Are you his student? Tina, you became a fourth-tier powerhouse at the age of 16, so young and promising! After all, Tina was appointed by the Guardian God, and the senior officers of the corps wanted to build a rtionship through Tina, or at least not to elicit any displeasure from her. Even Fiona, who was unwilling in her heart, dared not show any dissatisfaction on her face. When Tina had chatted with the senior officers enough, Commander Grace pped her hands: Alright, lets continue our discussion back at the camp. Tina, the session ceremony will officially begin at three in the afternoon. I will formally hand over themand of the Unicorn Corps to you then, prepare yourself well. Understood, General. Tina answered solemnly. Until three in the afternoon, General Grace and all the senior officers apanied Tina, introducing her to the basic conditions of the Knight Corps. For instance, how many people are in the Knight Corps, how many infrastructures there are within the Corps, the financial situation of the Knight Corps, the personnel structure and so on. Su Yu followed the group silently at the back, without interrupting, just walking quietly. At three in the afternoon, a grand session ceremony was held in the square at the entrance of the camp. On the viewing tform, under the gaze of more than two thousand unicorn knights, Grace took off the emerald ring symbolizing themand of the Corps from his index finger and put it on Tinas right index finger. I hereby dere that Tina Garcia officially bes the 15th Commander of the Unicorn Corps! Tina, I hope that in the days toe, you can lead the Corps to glory and magnificence! I will do my best! Tina clenched her small fists. The area below the viewing tform burst into cheers and apuse. Unicorn Knights cheered, congratting the new Commander on her ascension. But many knights betrayed their deep concern in their eyes due to Tinas youth,ck of experience, and weak strength. But within the context of celebration, no one expressed this. Apart from the Unicorn Corps, senior officials from Orleans City and the city mayor, ude Strathrow, also attended the event. ude Strathrow went on stage personally and pinned the Unicorn Cross Medal onto Tina, praising loudly: Tina Garcia, at the young age of 16 you have be themander of the Unicorn Corps. You are the pride of the Empire, and on behalf of the people of Orleans City, I am proud of you! Thank you, Mayor. Tina saluted respectfully. But deep inside, for some unknown reason, Tina became increasingly uneasy. The session ceremony continued until nightfall. At midnight, Su Yu was suddenly summoned by Tina and went to her room. Even though it was already midnight, Tina was still neatly dressed, staring nkly at the moonlight outside the window. Seeing Su Yu entering, Tina forced a smile, So youre here! Nemesis. Yes, Im here. Su Yu sat on the small sofa in Tinas room. The sofa still held a remnant of Tinas scent, indicating she must have been lying on it quite recently. What did you want to discuss? Its like this. Tina sighed and exined, I always feel that my life has been flowing a bit too smoothly. Smoothly? Is smooth not good? Su Yu shrugged. Its not that its not good, but because its too smooth, it makes me feel extraordinarily ufortable. Tina sighed again and continued to gaze at the moonlight outside the window: Ever since I started practicing, I became a fourth-order powerhouse in just over a month, got the favour of the Guardian God, and became themander of the Unicorn Corps. All this happened too quickly and too easily, making me feel unreal. This feeling makes me especially uneasy. This unease has been bothering me for the past few days, I havent been able to sleep every night. Nemesis, what should I do? Meanwhile, Su Yu received a system prompt: Ding, your main storyline [Saint of Orleans City (16/100)] has been updated. Ding, detected that [Tina Garcia]s favorability towards you is at [Enthusiasm stage], do you want to activate the [Autonomous Plot Determination] function? Once activated, you can autonomously determine the plot direction for the event 16-25 of the main storyline [Saint of Orleans City] and acquire rewards based on the difficulty of the storylines direction. Chapter 169: 169. Su Yu’s Plan_1 Chapter 169: 169. Su Yus n_1 Trantor: 549690339 The [Plot Customization] feature? Su Yus eyes lit up. Hed learned about this function on a forum in his previous life. Once an NPCs favorability reached the [Enthusiasm stage], undertaking tasks rted to that NPC had a certain probability of unlocking this function. Opening the [Plot Customization] function would drastically change the way tasks were handled. The previous way tasks were handled was C the system issued a task, Su Yu received the task, did the task, and turned it in. But after this function was activated, the system would give Su Yu a general framework. Su Yu would then develop and do the task ording to the framework. The system would then randomly reward him based on the difficulty of the taskpleted by Su Yu. However, the task had to meet the general framework, which meant the objectives of the plotline had to be achieved. Take the current main storyline for example. After activating this function, the system gave Su Yu three objectives. [The Saintess of Orleans City (17-25)] Plotline Objectives: Objective 1, Ease Tinas unease and restore her confidence. Objective 2, Get Tina to win the approval of 80% of the Unicorn Knight Corps. (Current approval rate is 1.6%) Objective 3, Have Tina win the approval of over 60% of Orleans Citys residents. (Current approval rate is 0.8%) These three objectives are therge framework of the task. Su Yu could assign andplete tasks himself, but he had to fulfill these three objectives. Upon opening the [Plot Customization] module, a prominent title came into view: [The Saintess of Orleans City (17-25)] Beneath the main title was the plotline objectives: Objective 1, Ease Tinas unease Below the objective, there were nk spaces for writing down the content of the tasks. [17 (Solo Task)]: [18 (Solo Task)]: [24 (Solo Task)]: [25 (Scenario Battle)]: Except for the 25th part which was a Scenario Battle, the rest were all solo tasks. Looking at this interface, Su Yu fell deep into thought. I guess Ill need to do some research! He could design nine tasks on his own. These nine tasks needed to not only fulfill the three objectives but also ensure maximum benefits for him. He definitely couldnt proceed without careful nning. Su Yu was lost in deep thought and couldnt pull himself away. Seeing that Su Yu had not responded for a while, Tina asked softly, Nemesis, are you listening to me? But Su Yu remained motionless as if he hadnt heard. Tina walked up to Su Yu, pulled down her strap, revealing her smooth shoulders to Su Yus gaze. But Su Yu still didnt react, his dull eyes staring at Tinas shoulder as if he was looking at a piece of wood. Unable to bear it anymore, Tina pulled her strap up and waved her hand in front of Su Yus eyes: Hey, wake up! Wake up! Oh? Whats wrong? Noticing the object moving swiftly before his eyes, Su Yu finally snapped out of his deep thought. You werent responding to me earlier. Were you listening? Tina frowned, her hands on her hips. She had called Su Yu over in the middle of the night for some heart-to-heart talk, yet he was zoning out! Of course, I was listening. You were talking about insomnia because of your uneasiness, right? Yes, do you have any solutions? Tina seemed slightly relieved. For insomnia Su Yu touched his chin. If Tina had been a man, there might be other traditional ways to cure insomnia. For females You could try sleeping naked. Su Yu suggested. Sleeping naked? Tina looked puzzled. Would that work? Su Yu turned his nce: If you dont want to try you could let me stay the night! Ive got plenty of ways to help you fall asleep. Stay the night Coming to some realization, Tinas face flushed red all of a sudden, like a thoroughly ripe shrimp. Alright, youd better rest early tonight. Ille see you first thing tomorrow morning. Then Ill help you solve your insomniapletely! Su Yu waved his hand, turning around to exit Tinas room: Good night, see you tomorrow morning! Hey Tina reached out to stop Su Yu. She was still struggling with the issue of staying the night, and yet hed just left? But since Su Yu had already left, Tina didnt have the heart to call him back. Forget it, Ill see him tomorrow morning then. ncing in the direction Su Yu had disappeared into, Tina got back into bed, resuming her struggle with insomnia. But sleeping naked, perhaps I should give it a try. Tina thought to herself, pulling off her clothing. The next day, first thing in the morning, Su Yu stormed into Tinas bedroom. Tina! Ive thought of the best way to help you cure your insomnia! Su Yu was waving a notebook in front of Tina. It was a task process that he spent the whole night nning out. Through this task process, not only would Su Yu be able to reap a good sum of rewards, but Tina would also benefit greatly. Nemesis. Tina woke up hazily, noticing that Su Yu was in the room, she quickly wrapped herself tightly in the quilt. She was still in the sleeping naked state; it wasnt exactly decent for her to see anyone. And the quilt she was under was thin, so one could vaguely make out her figure through it. Which instantly caused Tinas face to turn red out of embarrassment. But Su Yu didnt seem to mind at all as his attention waspletely focused on the notebook. Listen here, Su Yu sat at the head of Tinas bed, excitedly cing the notebook in front of Tina: After a whole nights research, solving your insomnia is actually very simple. You just need to gain the approval of others. Gain the approval of others? Tina was puzzled. Thats right. Su Yu smiled and said: The greatest source of your uneasees from worrying that because of yourck of experience, youth, and insufficient strength, you are not up for the task of leading the corps. In particr, during this war-ridden time, a slightest mistake could verge on the loss of the entire knight corps on the battlefield. Am I right? Youre right. Tina was just thinking about getting Su Yu to leave quickly so she could dress up. So, she was just ying along with whatever Su Yu was saying. Then its settled! Su Yu nodded: Ivee up with a series of ns to help you regain your confidence. If you follow my ns, not only can your unease bepletely eradicated, but you can also truly be stronger and suitable for the role of corpsmander. After some thought, Tina finally nodded: Okay, Ill do as you say. But Can you leave for now? Su Yu: Shortly after, Tina got up from bed. But for some reason, her face remained flushed. Su Yu didnt bother and was ready to implement his n. The first part of the n was of course to increase Tinas strength. Tina was currently at the fourth rank. Although she was incredibly powerful among the students, this power level was far from enough for a corpsmander. The previous structure of the Unicorn Corps was C Corps Commander Grace was a sixth-ranked Sanctuary expert, high-ranking officers of the corps were generally at the fifth rank, and the instructors were either third or fourth rank. So Su Yu decided that Tina should first be promoted to the fifth rank. This would ensure that she had the requisite strength to gain recognition from all members of the knight corps. Chapter 170: 170, Destroy intelligence points, attack convoys_1 Chapter 170: Destroy intelligence points, attack convoys_1 Trantor: 549690339 The 17th task that Su Yu assigned to Tina was as follows: [Saintess of Orleans City (17/100)]. Task Requirements: Assist Tina in destroying the Orleans City Sewers Ghost Party underground intel point, eliminate [Demonic Informants]X30, [Tricky Informants]X30, [Energetic Messenger (Elite)]X5, [Gante Rick (Boss)]X1. Task Reward: Random rewards based on the taskpletion degree. [Gante Rick] is the leader of the Ghost Party intelligence organization, with strength around the fourth-order peak. The several [Energetic Messengers] under him also possessed mid-fourth-order strength. The Ghost Party intelligence organization had a notorious reputation, led as it was by the ruthless Gante Rick, who had done all sorts of evil deeds, even to the point of consuming the blood of people. With Tinaunching a raid on them, firstly, its beneficial for the residents of Orleans City, secondly, it could enhance Tinas own strength, and thirdly, Su Yu also stood to gain not a small advantage. What Su Yu was keen on, was the chance that [Gante Rick] might drop the blueprint for the [Mailbox]. In his territory, there were only two mailboxes situated in front of the [Town Hall], no more elsewhere. If he could acquire the blueprint for the [Mailbox] through this task, then he could build arge number of mailboxes throughout his territory, allowing every yer within his territory to enjoy this convenience. For this reason, Su Yu presented the pros and cons to Tina, borately exining the benefits of obliterating the Ghost Party underground intel point. Ultimately, Tina also agreed, and joined Su Yu in eradicating this evil underground organization. An hourter, at the Ghost Partys intel point in the Orleans City Sewers. With lightning blitz speed, Tina rampaged through this intel point, with [Gante Rick] and all his men being cut down. In the bloody scenario of the intel point, Tina sat on the floor, cross-legged, her eyes tightly shut, her body emanating a boiling golden rage simr to that of boiling water as her strength advanced further. Su Yu squatted half-way down beside Tina, inspecting [Gante Rick]s body. Yet regrettably, [Gante Rick] did not drop the [Mailbox] blueprint that Su Yu wanted. [Gante Rick]s loot drop list and the tasks reward contained only some pieces of equipment and potions. There was not a single good thing. Seems like my luck is just a tad bit short. If I had known, I would have let the Sky Dragone to search the corpse. Su Yu thought to himself, ncing to the side at Tina. Currently, Tinas momentum was on the rise, her golden rage solidifying to the point where it almost seemed tangible as physical gold. Under the scrutiny of the [Insight] spell, Tinas current attributes were as follows: Character: [Tina Garcia] Level: 68[Fourth Order] Profession: Divine Warrior, Knight Preferences: Fond of cats, sweets, [Nemesis] Already at level 68. Su Yu nodded slightly. Looks like afterpleting another task, Tina should be able to reach the fifth order. Where should we go for the next task? While Su Yu was contemting, the golden aura around Tina started to slowly retract, and she, shortly after, opened her eyes. Tina felt the surge of power within her and nodded in satisfaction: My condition is good right now, it shouldnt be long before I reach the fifth order. Then she turned to Su Yu, How about you? Have you found what you were looking for? Didnt find it. Su Yu shrugged, But its fine. Lets clean up this ce before we move to the next one. Su Yu stands up and extends his hand to lift Tina from the ground. Then, Su Yu and Tina together began sorting out all the valuable documents in the intel point. Any document with the slightest use was packed and taken away by Su Yu. The next task was located by the Moonlight River on the west side of Orleans City. [Saintess of Orleans City (18/100)]. Task Requirement: Assist Tina in attacking merchant [Milton Strathrowe]s trade caravan. Eliminate [Ferocious Kodo Beasts] X30, [Kodo Beast Knights] X30, [Miltons Elite Bodyguards (Elites)] X5, [Milton Strathrowe (Boss)] X1. Task Reward: Random rewards based on taskpletion. Milton shared the surname with the city lord of Orleans City, ude, both had the surname Strive. The two were rted by blood, Milton was Lord udes own uncle. As one of the speakers of the Strive Familysmerce, Milton ran his Nightingale Commerce pretty sessfully. It was on the verge of bing one of the top five tradingpanies in Orleans City. Today, Milton had personally led his elite bodyguards to escort a batch of important goods back to Orleans City. Su Yu and Tina came knocking and attacked his trade caravan without a word. Milton had four fourth-order strong men, and the captain of the guards, Daniel, had just broken through to the fifth order, with the initial ability to fly. Still, under Tinas dazzling sword light and the powerful spells from Su Yu, his elite guards lost their lives and were injured in rivers of blood in just a few confrontations. From his position at the back of the carriage, he could only watch the tragic scene unfolding before him. He had invested countless spiritual energy coins, spent a lot of effort just to build this elite guard, and he hadnt expected it to be decimated within an instant! Moreover, these two people in front of him werent only out to snatch his goods, they even had the gall to contemte taking his life. In desperation, Milton cried out: You two robbers, how dare you! I am the blood uncle of the city lord, ude Strathrowe. The city lord will not let you off! Milton Strathrowe, of course, I know who you are. Su Yu looked down at him from the sky. After Tina cut down Miltons fifth-order guard, she advanced sessfully to the fifth order, power radiating brilliantly all over her, unlocking the power of flight. And Su Yu, due to the [Tina Garcias Blessing]buff, his level kept in line with hers, providing him likewise with a temporary ability to fly. Since you know who I am, why did you intentionally attack my trade caravan? Arent you afraid of the city lords revenge? Milton roared. Haha, of course, Im not scared. Su Yu slightly smiled, pulling out a few letters from his bag: First of all, let me tell you who we are. I am Nemesis, the future disciple of the Guardian God Evan Goldsparrow; and this is Tina Garcia, the newly appointed captain of the Unicorn Knights. Just now, we destroyed the underground headquarters of the Ghost Party and obtained these interesting things. Do you want me to read them to you? The disciple of the Guardian God, Captain of the Unicorn Knights, Ghost Party Upon hearing this series of news, Miltons face turned pale. The Ghost Party was an intelligence organization that he covertly supported. If that matter was leaked, it seemed like he was in deep trouble! Su Yu nced at him, took out a letter, and waved it at him: On June 25th of the year beforest, youmanded your men to intentionally blow up the Orleans Revival Dam that was under repair. The dams sh flood rushed out, directly drowning 800 construction workers on the riverbed, causing several hundred thousand farmers to be disced. You made a profit of 500,000 spiritual energy coins from this. Am I right? Chapter 171: 171, Tina Line 18-20 Circle_1 Chapter 171: Tina Line 18-20 Circle_1 Trantor: 549690339 Let me exin Milton wants to quibble. Su Yu directly interrupts him, the evidence is clear, Im not interested in your exnation. He pulls a deep blue letter from his backpack, This letter is aboutst March, when you embezzled the relief fund from Green Vine Vige, totaling 300,000 spiritual energy coins. On April 16, Baron Mark Cintis of Green Vine Vige came to Orleans City with several farmers to im the relief money. You not only refused to give it, but also imprisoned and tortured them to death. Am I correct in this? Milton remains silent. Everyone knew about these matters, and the evidences were easy to find. But due to his status, no one dares to use him, and the issue was swept under the rug. However, he didnt expect Su Yu to confront him directly. Su Yu hovered in the sky, his gaze firmly on Milton below, These two crimes are terrible, but considering you are the uncle of the city lord, if I hand you over to the city lords judgement, he will definitely not give you a severe punishment. Su Yu selected a white letter glowing faintly with arcane energy from a stack of letters: But the nature of this letter is entirely different! It bears the signature of Antondidas, a powerful figure of the Sanctuary of Lai Yin Empire. It is a handwritten letter from you expressing a wish for Orleans City to be independent, and to break away from the control of the royal family. How do you exin this? What? Damn it! Seeing this letter, Milton was shocked to the core, his face instantly pale. His secret correspondence with Antondidas was delivered through extremely ndestine channels, how could it get into the hands of the Ghost Party? Moreover, he had sent this letter a long time ago, how could it appear here? But its toote for regret now. Su Yu put the letter back into his backpack, and announced solemnly, With this letter, I can condemn you to death for treason on behalf of the Princess! Tina. Understood! Tina, who had been filled with anger after hearing about Miltons deeds, responded. When she heard Su Yu call her name, she instantly transformed into a golden light and charged straight at Milton. Milton was surprised and quickly took out his magic wand to cast a spell. But his power was only at the fourth level, and he was no match for Tina, who had already reached the fifth level. After a futile resistance, a golden glow exploded in front of Miltons chest. Miltons heart was pierced, and he fell to Tinas sword. Miltonsrge eyes stared at the sword hilt protruding from his chest until hisst breath. He didnt seem toprehend how he, as the uncle to the city lord of Orleans City, could die so obscurely. Tina had already withdrawn her sword, not giving Milton a second nce. She heaved a soft sigh: I hope the innocent souls killed by Milton can finally rest in peace! Ding, [Orleans City Holy Maiden (18/100)] has beenpleted, reward rating in progress Your rating for this reward is S, with a reward of: 3000 Experience Points, Function Building Blueprint [Auction House]. It dropped! Su Yus eyes lit up. The main reason for him risking angering the city lord to kill Milton was to uphold justice. Of course, while upholding justice, there was another reason C Su Yu wanted the blueprint for the [Auction House]. [Auction House] is a precious building blueprint, dropped by very few NPCs, and those that do have very high levels, one of them being Milton. He didnt expect to get it on the first try with Tina! Outside of [Repair], [Auction House] is the most used feature by yers during regr gamey. While repair shops can be found everywhere, auction houses are only located in the main city. Its because of the auction houses that yers gather in the main city. Su Yu wanted to build his territory into the yers main city, so the earlier he had the auction house building, the better. He was delighted to get it on his first try! Tina was somewhat worried. After killing Milton, she turned to look back at Su Yu: Nemesis, by killing Milton weve rid the people of Orleans city of a scourge, but weve definitely offended Lord ude, what do we do? No worries! Su Yu waved his hand nonchntly, Tina, have you forgotten whos got your back? The Guardian God. Remembering this, Tinas worries were greatly reduced. Su Yu smiled, With the Guardian God around, no one dares to touch you. Besides, the reason I said so much to Milton was to make you understand the crux of the problem. The crux of the problem? Didnt you see it? The Empire has been in decline for a long time, and the imperial bureaucracy is riddled with corruption, rotten to the core. Killing Milton wont change anything, because other officials are just as bad as he is, if not worse. To truly revive the Goldfinch Empire, a bottom-up reform is necessary topletely eradicate the persistent problem. A bottom-up reform? Tina was confused. This problem was clearly beyond herprehension. Dont worry, Tina. Su Yu patted her on the shoulder, Ill worry about the reform. For now, you just need to keep increasing your strength. Alright, Ill do as you say. Tina trusted Su Yu implicitly, so she did as he instructed. After a brief cleanup at the scene, Su Yu and Tina rode their horses back to the Unicorn Camp. During the ride back, Su Yu set up the next quest. [Orleans City Holy Maiden (19/100)]. Task Requirement: Complete the [Advanced Secret Realm Trial] with Tina. Task Reward: Random rewards will be given based on the taskpletion level. Now that Tina had just broken through to the fifth level and her realm was not yet stable. Thest time Su Yu and Tina had entered the [Advanced Secret Realm], located under the Unicorn trial ground, surely helped her stabilize her realm. So, Su Yu set this task to help Tina build a solid foundation. After returning to the camp, Tina used her authority as the head of the legion to open the [Advanced Secret Realm], and she and Su Yu entered it three times. The [Advanced Secret Realm] has a different final boss each time it is opened. Last time it was [Void Walker Kassadin], this time it was [Void Daughter Kasha], [Eye of the Void Vikz] and [Void Prophet Malzahar]. However, now that Tina was at the fifth level, clearing the instance was a piece of cake. After going through the instance three times and absorbing arge amount of void energy, Tinas fury gradually solidified and her realm finally stabilized. . Now that her realm was stable, the next step was, of course, to gain the recognition of the members of the Knight Order. For the 20th sub quest, Su Yu met Fiona WindsorCheir to the former Legionmander GraceCat a watchtower in the camp. Fiona, I am here on behalf of Tina to challenge you to a duel, Su Yu dered from the top of the watchtower. Fiona Windsor is the sessor of the former legionmander. Only when Tina defeats her will it prove that, at least in terms of military strength, Tina is capable of themanders role. Moreover, Tina defeating Fiona publicly will surely gain her the respect of many. Chapter 172: 172, Competitive Duel_1 Chapter 172: Competitive Duel_1 Trantor: 549690339 At the watchtower in front of the military camp. Fiona put down the monocr telescope she was holding up, turned around and looked at Su Yu with some surprise, What, Tina wants to duel with me? Yes, seven days from now, at the grand stadium in Orleans City. But Tina is only a fourth-tier, what makes her think she can defeat me? Fionas face was a bit cold, was Tina underestimating her? Oh, forgot to tell you. Su Yu put his hand in front of his chest, speaking very politely, Just this morning, Tina has sessfully advanced, bing a fifth-tier contender. What?! Fiona was shocked, dropping the telescope in her hand, shattering it on the floor. Tina has been promoted to fifth-tier? This this Fiona could hardly believe her ears, it had only been a few days and Tinas strength had already improved by a tier. Fifth-tier contenders are not mere Chinese cabbages. Including all of the kingdoms and duchies associated with the Goldfinch Empire, with a total poption of 130 million, there were only around 1500 contenders above the fifth tier. Moreover, given Tinas age and her rate of progress, her advancement to the sixth-tier sanctuary and even the seventh-tier legend was only a matter of time. No wonder the guardian god had a different view of her, this was terrifying! However, for Tinas duel invitation, Fiona was hesitant in epting it. Obviously, Tina wanted to establish her dominance by defeating her after her promotion. However, for Fiona herself, there was no benefit in defeating Tina, she couldnt possibly reim her position as the leader of the legion. As for losing to Tina, there were obviously no benefits from that either, and there was even the chance she could be ridiculed by her colleagues. There were no benefits in winning or losing, so why should she ept the duel? Thinking of this, Fiona flicks her hair, coldly saying, I have no interest in this duel, please leave! She turned around, leaving Su Yu with only her back in view. Of course, Su Yu knew that Fiona might refuse the duel, who is willing to do something that isnt beneficial? But he already had a n for this. Su Yu took out a golden magic crystal card from his bag, with a bright white number disyed on it C 200,000. This money wasnt Su Yus, it was Tinas. During the recent attack on Miltons caravan, Su Yu had received the blueprint for the [Auction House] building as well as some equipment and potions; Tina had taken Miltons magic crystal card which contained 8,830,000 spiritual energy coins in total. So this money was put up by Tina. Su Yu raised the magic crystal card, smiled and said, If you would like to participate in this duel, this will be your appearance fee. Fiona slightly turned around and nced at the magic crystal card in Su Yus hand. When she saw the number on the magic crystal card, her expression slightly stiffened. Ahem. Fiona cleared her throat, walked over to Su Yu, took the magic crystal card out of his hand, and asked, If I ept Tinas duel request, will I need to hold back during the duel? No need. Su Yu shook his head, Tina just advanced, and she is desperately in need of a valuable opponent. Of course, if possible, try to prolong the fight, that would be the most beneficial for her growth. I understand your point. Fiona put the magic crystal card in her pocket. Then, she looked at Su Yu like she was looking at her prey, Is there anything else? Would you like toe to my room? Su Yu: . Seven dayster, the grand stadium of Orleans City. The grand stadium was packed with people today, there was not a single empty seat. The audience, which could amodate 30,000 spectators, was full. The audience waved their gs excitedly, eagerly waiting for the duel to start. This was a duel between the fifth-tier contenders! Fifth-tier contenders are elite individuals, and the grand stadium hadnt seen a duel of this level in 20 years. The once-in-20-years epic duel was now about to take ce, how could the audience not cheer and be excited? While cheering, the audience was also filled with whispers of discussions: John, what are the odds today? 1.4:2.52, Tina wins are 1.4. Thats not right, didnt Tina just get promoted? Why are her odds lower than the opponents? How should I know? I backed the other side. I bet on Tina, she won against all oddsst time, she should be good this time. Look quickly, Tina is here! That really is Tina, go Tina! At this moment, Tina, in her golden armor and riding a unicorn, was walking out from the east side gate. Tinas golden armor was not the one she had worn when she was in the fourth level. It was a whole new set of equipment that had cost her more than 300,000 spiritual energy coins. Seeing Tinae out, an uproar of deafening cheers suddenly broke out from the audience. They were all cheering for her. In the stands on the north side of the dueling field, all two thousand knights from the Unicorn Knights Regiment were present, all of them intently watching theirmander in the field below. On the stands to the south, the high-ranking knights led by Deputy Commander Grace were sitting. They didnt speak to each other, their faces shadowed by worry. At the same time, Fiona, wearing silver armor and also riding a unicorn, walked out of the west gate. However, her demeanor was extraordinarily calm, waiting quietly for the duel to start. Three minutester, the duel officially began. Tina was seething with anger. This time, she didnt charge forward on her unicorn, but flew directly off the unicorns back. Having advanced to the fifth level, the unicorn could not y a big role, and aerialbat was more effective. Fiona on the other side was also unfazed. She leaped off her unicorns back and flew up to fight Tina. And she also remembered the words she had with Su Yu; she didnt use her full strength at the start but treated it as a practice match with Tina, trying to drag out the duel as long as possible. Tina was neither arrogant nor impatient, treating Fiona as a whetstone, she was full of energy to hone herbat skills. The two fifth-level powerhouses shed in the sky above the dueling field. The space around them kept fluctuating, and the protective shield in the sky also made creaking noises. However, they both fought with great discipline, their longsword and the one-handed sword shed repeatedly, treating this as a sparring session. The two unicorns below had nothing to do, so they just stood there staring at each other. In the end, having nothing to do, they walked to the edge of the dueling field and leisurely started eating weeds. Tina and Fiona swapped blows back and forth for a total of 20 minutes. Twenty minutester, the oue of the duel was settled: Fiona, exhausted and unable to continue fighting, and the ultimate winner was Tina, who still had a bit of strength left. The final verdict was announced: Tina won! Seeing Tina winning, another round of cheering erupted from the stands. Only the cheering was not very enthusiastic. Mixed with the cheers, there were also discussions: Even though the fight had a higher quality this time, it wasnt as thrilling as the prior one. Indeed, both sides fought with great discipline, unlike thest time where they bet their lives. But Tina truly had an advantage, worthy of being the chosen one of the Guardian God! The news about Tina being chosen by the Guardian God had gradually spread, and almost everyone in the city knew about it now. In the stands of the Knights Regiment and the highmand. After seeing Tinas real strength, the knights and the highmand had a higher degree of recognition of thismander. No matter if Fiona was holding back or not, judging by Tinasbat strength, it was indeed clear that she had the qualifications to be themander. The knights and the high-level executives all stood up and pped for Tina. In the face of the cheers and apuse all around, Tina did not respond or hurriedly leave. First, she remained in ce to catch her breath, then she took out a stack of letters from her chest and her little face became incredibly serious. Chapter 173: 173, Inventory of Ten Crimes_1 Chapter 173: Inventory of Ten Crimes_1 Trantor: 549690339 In fact, the duel just now was just an appetizer, and its only now that the main course has formally begun. Tina took a deep breath, staring at all the spectators in the arena: Everyone, please be quiet, Ive something to say! Fueled by her anger, Tinas voice echoed throughout the entire arena. Hearing Tinas words, the spectators on the stand unanimously quieted down and focused their attention on her, curious about what she had to say. Once the audience had quieted down, Tina rose into the sky, loud enough for everyone to hear: The reason I challenged Fiona this time was firstly to prove to everyone that I have the strength to be themander of the Unicorn Legion. At Tinas words, many knights on the northern stand of the Unicorn Legion nodded their heads in agreement. Indeed, Tinas strength was very impressive, and with her fifth-order power, she was well-suited for the position of legion leader. Secondly, I wanted to talk about these letters. Tina lifted the bundle of letters she held, disying them to all the spectators. These letters were obtained after I destroyed an underground intelligence organization. They detail all the crimesmitted by Milton Strathrowe, the chief worker of the Nightingale Commerce. Of course, I have also found all the relevant evidence regarding these crimes. Now, I will present this evidence and list these crimes to all of you. Following the text on the envelopes, Tina began to list the crimes: The first crime: On June 25th two years ago, Milton ordered his men to intentionally blow up the Orleans Revival Dam which was under maintenance The second crime: In Marchst year, Milton privately embezzled 300,000 spiritual energy coins in disaster relief funds from Green Vine Vige The tenth, and final crime: Milton colluded with the sanctuary powerhouse of Lai Yin Empire, Antondidas The evidence is the letter in my hands. Tina detailed clearly all the Ten Sinsmitted by Milton in his lifetime. After the litany of crimes, she emphasized, Seven days ago, I personally executed Milton, and the recent unrest in the city was caused by me. I hope everyone is aware. Tina stopped speaking at this point. However, Fiona, standing beneath her, waspletely stunned, gazing speechlessly at Tina in the sky. Originally, she thought the duel between the two was the highlight of the day, but to her surprise, Tina revealed a shocking piece of news after the duel ended! Of course, Fiona knew who Milton Strathrowe was the uncle of the city lord, ude, the chief officer of the Nightingale Commerce, and one of the most powerful people in Orleans City. Milton had died seven days ago by the Moonlight River. His death stirred up a greatmotion in the city. Lord ude sent men to search for the murderer personally, and Orleans City was even under a curse of lockdown. Surprisingly, it was Tina who killed Milton! But Tina, if you killed him, why would you announce it in front of more than thirty thousand people? Isnt this a p in the face to the city lord? Fiona stood motionless on the spot, her mindpletely nk. . On the northern stands of the arena, the Unicorn Legion knights also gaped at Tinas revtion. Themotion that was stirring up the city recently was actually created by Tina! Crushing a caravan with a fifth-tier powerhouse and five fourth-tier elite fighters was incredible! Considering Miltons ten sins, his death was well-deserved. With most of the knights adhering to ideas of justice, mercy, humility, and protection of the weak, Tinas status within their hearts immediately elevated. On the southern stand, the high-ranking officers of the legion were too stunned to know what to say. A group of high-ranking officers immediately surrounded deputy legionmander Grace anxiously asking: Commander, is what Tina saying true? Milton was actually killed by Tina? Isnt Tina publicly humiliating the city lord? Commander, what should we do? Dont rush, let me think. Grace waspletely flustered, she had not expected Tina to pull such a stunt. Indeed, ording to Tinas words, Milton deserved to die, but after all, he was the city lords uncle! Killing the city lords uncle and then publicly listing his ten crimes, where should the city lord put his face? Could it be that brat who instigated it? Grace red fiercely once at the stand at the highest point, which was where Su Yu was. The more Grace thought about it, the more likely it seemed. If it werent for Su Yus instigation, how could the kind and honest Tina possibly attack a caravan and kill Milton? Ill settle the score with youter! Grace red again at the grandstand where Su Yu was, and left the stadium, flying towards the city lords manor. At the highest grandstand of the stadium, Su Yu looked at Tina floating in the air below and revealed a faint smile. The reason why he let Tina expose all of Miltons crimes was mainly to let Tina make a stand she stood with the masses. As mentioned before, the Goldsparrow Empire was setting, its superstructure decayed to the bone, in desperate need of a major grassroots reform. The vast masses at the bottom are the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Goldsparrow Empire. The reason why Goldsparrow could be the most powerful empire in the human world was because of the hard work and sweat of the masses. But now, the empire is torn apart from north to south and has reached the brink of copse. The decayed bureaucrats within the empire are ipetent, still sucking the blood of the masses, disregarding human lives, only thinking of their own interests and wallets. Under such circumstances, reform is imperative! Therefore, Su Yu let Tina make her stance clear, gain the support of the masses, and act as the vanguard of reform. As for the problem of putting city lord ude in an embarrassing position its a trivial matter! Behind Tina is the guardian god, Evan Goldsparrow, even though he only has one clone, this one clone could destroy the entire Orleans City! So Su Yu let Tina do it confidently, with someone backing her, there is no need to be afraid. The audience in the venue was also shocked and furious, they didnt expect Milton tomit so many heinous acts! They all started shouting: The Rejuvenation Dams breach was not an ident but was destroyed by Milton, thats hundreds of lives! To kill so many innocents for spiritual energy coins, why didnt the gods strike this bastard down with divine punishment? Perhaps Tina is the divine punishment sent by the gods. Thank you, Tina, for ridding Orleans City of such a huge scourge! Tinaes from a farming family, shes different from those born to nobility! Ah, its a pity that Tina has deeply offended the city lord this time. No problem, Tina is protected by the guardian god. Guardian god, please protect Tina! The noise from the spectators grew louder and louder, the entire stadium was in chaos. But in the eyes of the general public present, Tina was one of them, which was Tinas biggest gain this time. Chapter 174: 174. Military Studies, War Chess Deduction (Leave Supplement 1/2)_1 Chapter 174: 174. Military Studies, War Chess Deduction (Leave Supplement 1/2)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Within the next three days, this news spread like wildfire throughout the city, causing a significant uproar. A multitude of people were shocked, spreading the news and the streets were buzzing with discussions about Tina. For the ordinary residents, they praised Tina, grateful for her elimination of threats for Orleans City, and avenging the innocent lives lost. On the other hand, people were also worried about the city lords reaction, fearful that he might retaliate against Tina. They did not want to hear the news of Tina suddenly dying. However, the following week in Orleans City was unexpectedly peaceful. Tina remained in the military camp without a word. The city lords manor did not express any stance either. Both sides kept their banners down and drums quiet, as if the matter had passed. But Su Yu knew that these were only the beginnings. Uponpletion of the 20th main task, Su Yu received a reward, an essory [Explorers Arm-guard]. [Explorers Arm-guard (Legend)] +15 Defense +20 Spell Strength The Path of Exploration: Killing a unit provides 0.5 Defense (can provide up to 15 Defense). Note: It can bebined with [Stopwatch] and [Demons Grimoire] to form the legendary essory [Zhongya Hourss]. The essory didnt warrant discussion; Su Yu had taken one step closer to creating [Zhongya Hourss]. As for the objectives of the plotline. Opening the [Self-crafted Plotline] module, thepletion status of the current three objectives was as follows: Objective 1: Dissipate Tinas inner unease and help her regain her confidence. (Progress: 56%) Objective 2: Help Tina gain the approval of 80% of the Unicorn Knights. (Current Approval: 61.2%) Objective 3: Help Tina gain the approval of more than 60% of Orleans Citys residents. (Current Approval: 71%) Tinas actions in the arena have had wide-reaching effects. Objective 3 is alreadyplete, and Objective 2 is nearingpletion. However, Tina stillcks some confidence, falling short ofpleting Objective 1. But Su Yu isnt worried, he still has five task rounds to train cough, cough, correct, to educate Tina, ensuring she regains her confidence. After the big arena event ended, Tina took a simple two-day rest to recover. After her recovery, Su Yu gave her the 21st task: [Saintess of Orleans City (21/100)]. Task requirements: Follow Tina and learn military knowledge from the military schr, [Lambert Scarlett]. Task rewards: Vary depending on thepletion of the task. While Tina was themander of the Knights, personal strength was only one aspect; military literacy was also vitally important. After all, Tina was supposed to lead the troops in battle, so it wouldnt do to be ignorant about the military. And [Lambert Scarlett] was the most knowledgeable military schr in Orleans City known to Su Yu. Having Tina learn from him would certainly be fruitful. On the third day at ten in the morning, Su Yu and Tina arrived at Wind Spring Street No.10 to visit the resident, Lambert Scarlett. Lambert Scarlett was a kindly old man in his sixties with a snowy beard. He was once the chief staff member of the previous city lord and was now retired at home. Confronted with the visit from Tina and Su Yu, upon hearing their purpose, Lambert stroked his beard thoughtfully. Recently, Tinas case had caused quite a stir within the city, and he had, of course, heard about it. As a military schr, Lambert certainly recognized Tinas value. Gaining favor with the guardian deity, Tinas future would undoubtedly be limitless! But teaching Tina might offend the city lords manor Weighing the pros and cons, Lambert ultimately chose to side with the Empire: Alright, Ill take in the student then. But military learning is quite dry. You should consider this in advance. Dont worry, teacher, I will study hard, Tina seriously assured. Very good! Lambert took down a book from the bookshelf behind him, Then lets start now! The first lesson, the differences among the various types of troops in an army The following week was passed with Tina immersed in learning. In the morning, Lambert imparted various kinds of military knowledge to Tina. In the afternoon, Tina studied numerous military books diligently. In the evening, Su Yu reviewed the days content with Tina until dawn. Whats unexpected was that Tina showed astonishing talent in military learning! This talent was nothing short of her lineages talent! Tinas military literacy progressed in leaps and bounds, to the point that after just one week, Lambert Scarlett was left with nothing to teach Tina. Staring at thest page of [Advanced Combat Formation As], he was at a loss for words: Tina, I dont have much more to teach you; youre ready for the field now. But then again, have you truly grasped everything I have taught you? I have grasped everything, teacher, Tina answered honestly. These military knowledge gave me a feeling, that I had grasped them before. Your teachings just helped me to recall these contents, so I have grasped them very quickly. Is that so? Lambert stroked his beard. Tina was indeed extraordinary to have caught the eye of the guardian deity. Tina, before you graduate, how about we go to the War Chess Association for a War Chess Simtion? This will also let me measure your current level, Lambert suggested. War Chess Simtion is a gamemonly yed by military enthusiasts in the game world. The War Chess Association has several enormous Spiritual Power Sand Tables. Spending Spiritual Energy coins can randomly change the terrain and the environment of the sand table and generate random types of troops. The two yers can control their own troops on the sand table for a simted confrontation. It is more like real-world RTS games such as Red Alert, Age of Empires, Star Craft, only much simpler. The level of War Chess Simtion is also taken as a measure of an individuals military strength, because it has been experimentally tested to be more urate than merely talking about the art of war on paper. Tina has heard about War Chess Simtion during her studies but hasnt had the chance to experience it first-hand. On hearing her teachers suggestion, her eyes lit up, Great! Lets go to the War Chess Association right now. For the 22nd round of the task, Su Yu, with Tina and Lambert, arrived at the War Chess Association to observe this round of War Chess Simtion. They used the highest grade Spiritual Power Sand Table, which consumed ten thousand spiritual energy coins per day. This highest grade sand table also hadprehensive functions. In addition to conventional troop operations, it could also set traps, create defensive spikes, release miasma, poison the water, and so on. The table had a variety of uses. The warfare by both sides also had a more specific purpose. Capturing strategic points on the map could give extra attributes to the troops. Under the maniption of Tina and Lambert, the armies of both sides, thirty-thousand troops strong, gallivanted on the Spiritual Power Sand Table. There were frontal confrontations, side ambushes, separations and encirclements, surrounding to break out Tina, not initially familiar with the operating mode, lost three times consecutively. But as she gradually got ustomed to the rhythm, she started to slowly turn the tide. By the seventh round of the simtion, Tina managed to stop her losing streak, and finally came to a draw with Lambert through a sniping battle from a defended strategic point. Chapter 175: 175, Spoils of War – Spiritual Power Sand Table_1 Chapter 175: Spoils of War C Spiritual Power Sand Table_1 Trantor: 549690339 Looking at the evenly matchedbat scenario shown on the sand table, Lan Bo found himself somewhat stupefied. A week ago, Tina was a military novice who couldnt even differentiate between troop types. But a weekter, Tina could draw with him in a chessbat simtion. She learned so much in just a week C was this the so-called talent? Su Yu stood by, watching this chessbat simtion. Besides Su Yu, there was another person in the chess room C Mnn, the president of the Chess Association. Upon receiving the news of Lan Bos arrival, Mnn promptly rushed to the chess room. Coincidentally, he saw Tina draw with Lan Bo. As an old friend, he burst intoughter: Ha ha, Lan Bo, are you losing your touch? Tied with a girl who has just learned chessbat simtion? Lets hope you wont embarrass yourself by admitting I know you! What do you know? Lan Bo shot him a fierce look: If you were me, you probably wouldnt even match Tina! Lan Bo was quite confident in his chessbat abilities; he was a bit stronger than Mnn. If Tina could tie with him, beating Mnn would undoubtedly be no problem. She? Mnn seemed not to believe it: What are you, kidding me? Shes just a beginner, how could she defeat me, the president of the Chess Association? Thats a joke! What if I could win? From across the sand table, Tina shed a friendly smile. She blinked her innocent eyes and asked: How about making a bet? What is the stake? Lets y nine rounds of chessbat simtion, first to win five. If I win, I want this Spiritual Power Sand Table. Influenced by Su Yu, Tina loved to bet on things she felt confident about, to increase potential earnings. To put it crudely, after spending so much time with Su Yu, Tina was starting to act just like him. Quite confident, arent you, youngdy! said Mnn, not able to help himself from taking a few extra looks at Tina: What if you lose? If I lose, I will donate one million spiritual energy coins to the Chess Association for sand table maintenance. Tina didnt even bat an eyelid, making it seem like one million was just a piece of paper to her. One million? Mnn was swayed: Alright, deal! Under the witness of Lan Bo and Su Yu, the chessbat simtion duel between Tina and Mnn officially began. The duel followed Tinas proposal, using a best-of-five-out-of-nine system, draws not counted. At the start, Tina unsurprisingly lost two rounds. However, she learned many lessons from her defeats and began to understand some of Mnns tactics. By the fourth round, the two gradually reached a draw. In the seventh round, Tina skilfully implemented the ssic Corridor Tactics during a critical stronghold battle, scoring a victory. The following rounds turned into one-sided domination. Tinas tactics were as unpredictable as the wind and as flowing as water. After several defeats, Mnns morale plummeted. His usual tactics were repeatedly seen through by Tina and consequently could not be utilized. By evening, Tina walked away from the Chess Association with her spoils of war C The Spiritual Power Sand Table, and made her way back to the Unicorn Camp. Walking on the road, Tina still found the recent chessbat simtion battles quite exhrating. Speaking softly to Su Yu at her side, she said, Nemesis, now that we have this Spiritual Power Sand Table, we can spice up our evenings a little. We dont always have to stick to the usual dry learning. No thanks, I dont want to y these games with you. Su Yu shrugged. Su Yu had yed quite a few chessbat simtions in his former life, as many hidden missions involved it, so he had to master some. Butpared to Tinas level, he was far behind. For the current Su Yu, facing Tina was like a Go enthusiast against Alpha Dog. He wasnt in the mood for a beating. Back at the camp, Tina had the porters ce the sand table in the living room. The Spiritual Power Sand Table was 3 meters wide and approximately 5 meters long. There was no conceivable ce for it other than the living room. Fortunately, as the Legion Leader, the living amodation assigned to Tina was sufficiently spacious, otherwise, there might indeed be no room for thisrge contraption. After the sand table was set up, it was alreadyte. Tina paid the porters. After they left, Tina couldnt help but stretch: Nemesis, Im going to take a bath first, then we can continue our studies in the room. For the past week, Tina and Su Yu had been studying up all night every night, so she had already grown ustomed to this way of life. As for sleep, after advancing to the fifth level, her energy was almost infinite and she didnt need any sleep. Su Yu, however, shook his head: Tina, youve graduated now, so theres no need for me to apany you anymore. Tina was taken aback: Is that so? A slight feeling of unwillingness surged in her heart. If Nemesis was unwilling to apany her, it would be quite dull to study alone. She wished shed taken it slow back then. Su Yu took out a small notebook from his backpack, and looked at Tina seriously: Tina, have you thought about experiencing a real battle after you graduate, using the actualbat to test your learning results from these days? He had alreadypleted the 23rd ring of the main storyline and was not far from the 25th ring of the scenario campaign. Su Yu naturally wanted to arrange a scenario campaign for Tina. Plus, after the 25th ring, he could get the reward for the first stage of the main storyline! The reward for the first stage was definitely very good! Su Yu was absolutely looking forward to it this time. Upon hearing Su Yus words, Tina was slightly taken aback: Test my learning results with actualbat? She thought for a moment: Um its not impossible, but Orleans city is currently very peaceful, where can we find abat opportunity? Orleans city was indeed located very deep into the rear of the Empire, and it was now very peaceful. It didnt have as manybat opportunities as the front lines. And without the consent of His Majesty the Emperor and the Princess, she would not be allowed to mobilize the army to the front lines on her own. No worries. Ive found a target for us to practice on. Su Yu responded, 30 kilometers east of Orleans city, there is a bandit fort in the Red Ridge mountain, how about we practice on them? Bandits? Tina lowered her head, deep in thought. She had heard of the bandit fort at the Red Ridge Mountain. Red Ridge Mountain was located on the transport artery in the northeast direction of Orleans City. If the merchants of Orleans City wanted to trade throughnd with the central cities of the Empire such as Forest City and Goldfinch Imperial Capital, they would have to pass through Red Ridge Mountain. The bandits were rampant in the Red Ridge Mountain area, robbing numerous passing merchant squadrons. But these bandits specifically targeted small-scale merchant squadrons and passing travelers, they always avoided business squadrons owned byrger noble families. The current turmoil, alongside the city lord of Orleansck of resources to eliminate the bandits, has allowed them to wreak havoc for almost two years now. If it were these bandits, indeed they would be excellent targets for practice. Su Yu added: Tina, eradicating these bandits, on one hand, is a chance for you to put what youve learned into practice, but on the other hand, this would also help you establish your reputation among the Knights. Only by leading them to victory, will they fully ept you. You have a point. After some thought, Tina ultimately made up her mind: Alright, in the next two days, we will lead the Knights and eradicate those bandits! Chapter 176: 176, You have significant document fraud (Updated yesterday)_1 Chapter 176: You have significant document fraud (Updated yesterday)_1 Trantor: 549690339 The operation to eradicate the bandits was set quickly, scheduled for two dayster. These two days are for preparations before the operation. The Bandits camp was only 30 kilometers away from Orleans City, which the Unicorn Legion could reach in half an hour. Thus, there was no need to prepare food and other logistics. However, ording to the Knight Orders rules, before mounting any operation, Tina had to secure the approval of over seventy percent of the high-ranking members of the Knight Order. Therefore, early the following day, Su Yu took the initiative to meet with Grace, the former legions leader, in her office. In her office, Grace looked at Su Yu with a slight frown on her face, Tell me, why are you here? Grace had a very bad impression of Su Yu. She thought that Tinas actions during the grandpetition in Orleans City were influenced by Su Yu, so naturally, she did not have a favorable impression of him. But considering that Su Yu was the princesss special envoy, she dared not say anything and just suppressed her anger. Su Yu took out a document from his bag and ced it on the desk in front of her, Lady Grace, this is the operation to eliminate the bandits which Tina is nning. Please take a look. I also hope you can convince the other leaders to agree with Tinas operation. Oh? To eradicate the bandits? Grace was a little surprised as she picked up the document to read. After reading only a few pages, she closed the document and threw it back on the desk, No, I cannot agree to this operation. Why? Grace red at Su Yu, Do you really need to ask me? The document youve prepared is full of lies. How on earth could I agree? Grace opened the document and pointed at the tape on the first page: Tina supposedly became a strategist under renowned military expert Lambert Scarlet within a week? And she has even defeated the President of the Chess Federation, Mnn, in a Chess simtion? Do you think Im that easy to fool? You even dare to write such absurd things in the document?! But everything written is true. Su Yu shrugged. Although it seemed unbelievable, all of it was, indeed, true. Take your truth and y with it somewhere else! I have work to do, dont bother me. Grace tossed the document back to Su Yu andmanded him to leave. Well, if you really dont believe it, how about this, Su Yu suggested, You and Tina have a fair chess match. If Tina loses, the operation will be formally cancelled. However, if Tina wins, you will convince the other high-ranking officials to allow the operation. Tsk, you think I would lose? Grace rose from her seat and looked at Su Yu with scorn, Fine, its about time someone taught both you and Tina a lesson. Remember, pridees before a fall. You think that with the support of the princess and the guardian, you can do whatever you want? Certainly, it wonte to that, this way, please. Su Yu, not in the mood for further argument, guided her towards Tinas residence. At Tinas residence, in the main hall of chapter 24, Grace and Tina began an official chess match. In addition to Su Yu, all the high-ranking officials who were able toe, did. In total, there were twelve participants. The high-ranking officials watch thepeting duo while exchanging whispers: Tina is really wealthy, she actually bought such a big Spiritual Power Sand Table for her home. But ording to Tina, this was the spoil she got when she defeated the president of the Chess Federation in a chess simtion. Defeat president of the Chess Federation? Ha, shes joking, right? Even if Tina has been ying chess since she was little, she couldnt possibly be that powerful! Who knows? Do you think she can defeat Lady Grace? She has a zero percent chance of winning! Lady Grace has the highest skill in chess throughout the legion. Additionally, shes very experienced so her losses wont even exceed 50%. Tinas finally about to take a hit for once, I cant wait! Although the high-ranking officials of the Knight Order remained expressionless, they were all secretly gleeful, hoping Tina would embarrass herself. Grace also asked with slight contempt: Lady Legions Leader, should I go easy on you and let you have 20% of the military force in the first round? No need, just give it your all. If I lose, Ill humbly ept it. Tina responded sincerely. All right, then. Grace nodded. The Spiritual Power Sand Table was already running. The environment inside the table was randomly generated, and it turned out to be a prairie with cloudy weather. Tina and Grace each controlled an army of 30,000 and were three kilometers apart. Right from the start, Tina ordered all of her soldiers to rush to a stronghold on the north side of the map. Upon reaching the stronghold, the soldiers attributes would be increased every minute. Graces scout discovered the movement of Tinas army. However, Grace didnt first find a stronghold like Tina. Instead, she marched directly toward the stronghold Tina was about to reach. Although this meant that Tinas army would receive attribute boosts from the stronghold before Graces arrival, Grace considered these boosts negligiblepared to actual strength. As long as her army arrived, even if Tinas soldiers were fully boosted, they would definitely not be a match for her. Thats why she dared to head straight for Tinas stronghold. Tinas scout detected the movement of Graces army. Seeing Graces marching route, Tina immediately understood that Grace was looking down on her. However, she was pragmatic, as she ordered her entire army to upy the stronghold and prepare for battle. About ten minutester, Graces army reached the outskirts of the stronghold. Without hesitation, Tina opened the strongholds gate,manded her army to form ranks, and charged out. The two armies officially shed. But as soon as they shed, Grace felt that something was wrong. Under Tinasmand, her army seemed toe alive, executing orders in a disciplined and orderly manner. Those with full health charged boldly ahead, while those wounded retreated, even cooperating with other soldiers. In contrast, even though she had issued uratemands, her soldiers were still being toyed with by the opposing soldiers, continually being divided, surrounded, and defeated. Just after the initial sh, Grace already lost a thousand men, whereas Tinas army only lost four hundred. How is this possible? Grace couldnt believe her eyes. Why was Tinas army so nimble and formidable? Could it be due to the attribute boosts provided by the stronghold? No, that couldnt be! The stronghold only provided basic attributes. While Grace was lost in confusion, Tina quickened her attack. One wave after another stormed Grace, breaking her army into fragments. Grace did everything she could to hinder the attack. However, her attempts to salvage the situation fell short, and she could only watch helplessly as her troops were slowly annihted. About ten minutester, the first round ended. At this point, only three thousand soldiers remained in Graces military formation, whereas Tinas army still had at least eighteen thousand soldiers! Obviously, in the first round of the confrontation, Tina was victorious! Chapter 177: 177, Complete Victory over Grace, Pre-battle Preparation_1 Chapter 177: Complete Victory over Grace, Pre-battle Preparation_1 Trantor: 549690339 How how could this happen? Grace stood there in a daze, her mindpletely in chaos. Amanders ability to analyze battle simtions is an aspect of their battlefield leadership. Even though it isnt the same as a real battlefield, it still reflects ones ability effectively. She was utterly defeated now! If this was a real situation where she and Tina were each leading an army of equal strength, she would likely be the one to lose. This thought made Grace increasingly unable to ept the reality of their situation. Shall we continue? Tina asked in a seemingly sarcastic tone, arms folded, as she watched Grace. Yes! Lets have another round! Graces gaze became particrly sharp. The fault must have been with the sand table during thest round. Another round would help her understand whether it was a problem with the sand table, or with herself. Alright then. Tina pressed the reset button on the sand table, and the second round began officially! The sand table was set to random factors: a mountainous, forested environment with light rain at night. It could be called a map designed to test strategies. Each side had 30,000 soldiers, including 20,000 infantry, 5,000 archers, and 5,000 cavalry. Seeing this environment, Graces anxiety began to recede. If it was a test of strategy, the sand table couldnt help Tina. She calmed herself down, putting all her attention into the sand table. However, as the two armies began tobat, Grace was stupefied. Tina took advantage of the topography and split her forces into twenty groups, which harassed, ambushed, and baited her troops across the whole map. Moreover, she was able to coordinate strategies amongst the small squads tactically which proved to be quite troublesome. Even though Grace was an adept warrior in the Sanctuary, her mind could only manage to deal with fifteen simultaneously attacking forces, anything above that would cause her to be stretched too thin. Whats more, Tina, after separating her forces into twenty groups, was still able to upy various points on the map, using the resources at those points to strengthen her own troops. As time progressed, Graces army was progressively decimated and drained. Fifteen minutes in, Tina still had 25,000 soldiers left and held most of the points on the map; meanwhile, Graces forces had dropped below 20,000 and were holding out in sparse small points in the center of the map. It was clear to anyone who was watching: Tina was sure to win! Grace obviously knew this too. Reluctantly, she let out a resigned sigh, Tina, I admit defeat. Following this match, Grace realized thatpared to Tina, she fell short in terms of tactical deployment, understanding of troops, and multi-line operations. If she hadnt seen that her opponent was indeed Tina, she might have suspected a champion strategic advisor was ying in her stead. Wasnt Tina just a country girl? Why did she prove so proficient at wargame strategizing? The high-ranking members of the Knights who were present were utterly bbergasted and lost for words. They knew that Grace hadnt been going easy, her performance still at a high standard. But Tinas skill was just too terrifying! Especially her tactic of shuttling infantry in and out through the forest during the second round was considered top-notch in the wargamemunity! Only the nations strongest wargame masters couldpete with Tina! Fiona was also among the watching crowd of high-ranking members. At first, she wasnt impressed by Tina, but upon witnessing Tinas wargame proficiency, she abruptly realized Tinasmand abilities far surpassed her own. It seemed she had no choice but to ept it. Ti Commander, Fiona asked reluctantly, Which famous master did you study wargame strategy with? Was it also Mr. Lan Bo Scarlett? Ah? But no one taught me! Tina shook her head, I only encountered wargame strategy for the first time yesterday afternoon. Teacher Lan Bo didpete with me for several rounds, but he never instructed me on what I should do. All of the strategies were ones that I came up with by studying the book. Crack! Crack! The sound of countless hearts breaking echoed through the venue. The elite members present almost went mad! What the hell? You only started yesterday afternoon? It hasnt even been a full day yet? Youve never been instructed by anyone? This kind of outstanding performance, where did this monstere from?! Numerous people felt thepulsion to w at the wall. Su Yu nced at the expressions of these people, curling his lips slightly. Tinas learning and training speed cannot be measured by ordinary standards. Ahem. Su Yu cleared his throat and spoke to everyone present, The wargame strategizing has ended. I hope everyone can live up to theirmitment and permit Tinas eradication mission. Upon hearing Su Yus words, the high-ranking members gradually nodded hesitantly. Grace let out a long sigh, Alright, we will fully cooperate with Tinas mission. After getting permission from the Knights higher-ups, Tinas subsequent preparations naturally went smoothly. The high-ranking Knights kept their word and refrained from tripping Tina up behind the scenes, and all of Tinas orders were executed efficiently. Fionas reaction was the most unexpected however. After losing the wargame, Fiona became Tinas fan girl, frequently scurrying about at Tinas side and assisting her with a host of tasks. As one of the leading young figures of the Windsor Family, Fionas connections were extensive. With her active assistance, preparations originally estimated to take two days werepleted in one. While Tina was preparing in the camp, Su Yu was busy as well. He first off took away Tinas right to Task Agent Authorization, and posted a task to gather a thousand yers. Next, Su Yu primarily approached the task of gathering information on the bandit camp. Using the powerfulwork of the Chairmans Chat Room, he quickly contacted a yer within the bandit camp. The Red Ridge Bandit Camp, as a minor power with a tier-five leader, came with decent NPC characters; thus, many yers werepleting tasks there. Su Yu contacted one of them. This yer was called [Nuclear Wastewater from Japan]. He usually worked on tasks around the bandit camp along with a few friends, so he was very familiar with the area. At the House of Warm Wind Tavern in Orleans City, Su Yu rendezvoused with the yer. Boss Ke, over here, over here! As soon as he entered the tavern, Su Yu saw a stout-faced man waving to him. The House of Warm Wind Tavern was located in a remote area with few yers, which was why Su Yu had chosen to meet Nuclear Wastewater there. Im Nemesis. Are you Nuclear Wastewater? Su Yu walked over to the man. I am. Nuclear Wastewater shed his ID, his expression filled with excitement, Boss Ke, Ive seen you many times in various videos. I never dreamed that I would meet you in person today. Im just too excited! No need for excitement, Su Yu smiled, Did you bring what I asked for? I brought everything! Nuclear Wastewater hurriedly opened his bag, pulling out a notebook and a map to ce on the bar counter. Chapter 178: 178, Intelligence Collection, Attack on Bandit Camp_1 Chapter 178: Intelligence Collection, Attack on Bandit Camp_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu walked up to the bar counter and picked up a map and notebook to look at. The map was of the Red Ridge Mountain Bandits Camp, showing theyout of the buildings inside the camp. The map was densely annotated. Based on these annotations, Su Yu could easily understand the function of each building, the main gathering areas of the bandits, the distribution area of traps outside the camp, and so on. The notebook primarily contained detailed data, such as the appearances, upations, ranks, and usual tactics of each bandit leader in the camp. For example, the data on the bandit leader Lake was listed clearly in the notebook. Lake is a fifth-level warrior who often uses a skill called Great Kill All Sides when robbing. He likes liquor and women, usually steps with his left foot first into the bedroom everything was detailed in the notebook. As Su Yu was looking at the information, Nuclear Wastewater excitedly said, Boss Ke, this is all the information that I and four of my friends collected and consolidated this afternoon. What do you think? Very good. Su Yu nodded. Then he opened the transaction panel and transferred 2000 spiritual energy coins to Nuclear Wastewater: Thank you all for your hard work! This is the agreedbor fee. Thank you, Boss Ke! Nuclear Wastewater looked at the number on the transaction panel, very pleased. Ive got something to do, so Ill leave first, Su Yu put away the notebook and map and prepared to leave. But Nuclear Wastewater stopped him, Boss Ke, wait a minute! I wanted to ask, would you be interested in joining our chat room? Chat room? Nuclear Wastewater quickly exined: My friends and I have created a chat room specifically to collect and cote information about the Red Ridge Mountain Camp, and it hasnt been disbanded yet. Boss Ke, would you be interested in joining? So, in the future, if we get any important information, we can inform you immediately. What Nuclear Wastewater didnt mention was that if Boss Ke were to join the chat room, and he took a screenshot of the chat room members, the screenshot would be bragging material! In the future, when he encounters others, and they brag about Ive got XX top-notch equipment or Ive joined XXrge guild, he could dismissively reply: What does that count for? Im in the same chat room as Boss Ke. Just thinking about it gave him such prestige! Su Yu thought for a while and agreed: Okay, invite me. Chatroom of Red Ridge Mountain Bandits Camp Information Collection Group. Ding, yer [Nemesis] has joined the chat room. Seeing this game notification, the chat room was immediately aroused. [Neon Nuclear Pollution]: Damn! Its Boss Ke! [Neon Tritium Treasure]: Waste water, you really managed to pull Boss Ke into the chat room?! [Neon Average Godzi]: Wee, Boss Ke! Seeing these messages, Su Yu smirked and replied, Hello everyone! Im Nemesis. [Neon Mutant]: Wee, Boss Ke! Tritium: Boss Ke, I just discovered something. I dont know if you need simr information. Su Yu: What is it? Tritium: Just now at the back yard of boss Lakes house, I found a secret tunnel Currently, Su Yu was riding Dima back to the Unicorn Camp with nothing to do, so he chatted with them a while. As for the secret tunnel in Boss Lakes house mentioned by Tritium, he also secretly noted it down. After chatting for a while, Su Yu asked in the chat room: By the way, do you guys have a guild right now? Tritium: No. Godzi: We dont like the restrictions of the guild and dont want to participate in guild activities, so we didnt join a guild but instead formed a small mercenary group. Su Yu: Are you guys interested in joining my guild then? There are no restrictions in my guild, and no one will be forced to participate in any guild activities. Mutant: I know about the Yellow Scarf Guild! We wanted to join before, but you guys were not recruiting. Nuclear Waste Water: Ill say it first, Im willing to join Boss Kes guild! Tritium: Im willing too! Godzi: +1 Nuclear Pollution: I have no objections. Seeing everyone agreed, Su Yu sent each of them a guild invitation, inviting them to join the guild. Of course, Su Yu invited them to the guild because he could use their help. For a siege like this, having a few insiders working in conjunction with the outside forces would allow the camp to be breached quickly. After returning to the Unicorn Camp, Su Yu handed all the camp information he had acquired to Tina. In addition to the data obtained from Nuclear Wastewater and others, Zhen Hong and Snow Leopard provided him with two other sets of data. Piecing together the three sets of data provided aprehensive understanding of the situation even without having to visit the site. Of course, Tina understood the importance of this information, so she spent the whole night analysing the data in detail. At four oclock in the early morning, Tina led 500 unicorn knights out of the camp, heading towards the Red Ridge Mountain in the east. It was still dark at four in the morning, but it was no problem for unicorns, who could illuminate the path ahead with a few holy light spells at will. They were expected to arrive at the Red Ridge Mountain Camp at five oclock in the morning. At this time dawn was just about to break, and almost all of the bandits were still sleeping. It was the best time for a surprise attack on the camp. The 500 Unicorn Knights rushed eastward, while the bandits camp remained undisturbed, with no unusual signs. It wasnt until the Unicorn Knight Squad was 300 meters from the camp that the bandits inside finally noticed the enemys arrival. Quick, what is that? The bandit guard on the watchtower, hearing the distantmotion, woke his sleepingpanion. Thepanion, groggy from sleep, barely nced in that direction and closed his eyes again, Its probably some wild beast, let me sleep some more, you keep watch. Dont sleep! Check if its an enemy attack? The more the bandit guard thought about it, the more things didnt feel right, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance. After reluctantly determining the enemys silhouette, he was shocked and quickly tried to sound the rm bell. But at that moment, a feathered arrow whistled through the air, hitting him urately in the chest. The bandit guard was just a regr human, and the force of the arrow pinned him to the ground, killing him instantly. This arrow was shot by [Neon Nuclear Waste Water], who was an archer. After joining Su Yus guild, Nuclear Waste Water and the other four had decided to help Su Yu secure a victory in this battle. Half an hour earlier, Nuclear Waste Water had already climbed to the top of a building near the watchtower and used the Snipe skill to target the bandit guards on top of the watchtower. Seeing that the bandit guard was about to sound the rm bell, he quickly released Snipe and killed the bandit in one shot. Then, Nuclear Waste Water swiftly sent a message in the chat room: Ive taken care of one of the two bandits on the watchtower, Im off to deal with the other one. Tritium: Received. Godzi and I will go and open the gates of the camp. After sending the message, Tritium and Godzi rushed out from the shadows of the buildings near the camps main gate. The two of them killed a few intercepting bandit guards, then forcibly activated the camps gate opening mechanism, fully opening the camp gate. Chapter 179: 179, Kill the Bandit Leader_1 Chapter 179: Kill the Bandit Leader_1 Trantor: 549690339 The defense of the [Red Ridge Mountain Bandit Camp]was notably poor. The guards responsible for the night watch were ordinary bandits who didnt even hold the first rank C many were even sleeping. As a result, a few ordinary first-timer yers like Nuclear Wastewater could easily defeat the guards and open the gate of the camp. This might seem incredible, but it has a certain inevitability to it. In the past, the defense of this bandit camp was strong, with third-rank strongmen taking turns to watch over the camp at night, keeping a strict vigil. However, two years ago, the bandit leader Lake, along with some big merchants and nobles of Orleans City, reached an agreement. Lake stopped robbing these affluent merchants and nobles caravans, and even gave half of the loot he stole each month to them. In exchange, these elite merchants and nobles tacitly allowed the bandits led by Lake to exist, enabling them to survive till now. With the tacit approval of Orleans City, the bandits existence no longer faced any threats and no one dared to challenge them, leading their defense consciousness to steadily weaken. Initially, some third-rank strongmen would reluctantly keep watch at night. Gradually, this digressed to second, then first-rank bandits on watch duty. At present, not even a first-rank bandit is left, only old and frailmoners guard the camp at night. This provided a perfect opportunity for the Nuclear Wastewater group of five. Archers like Nuclear Wastewater took out the bandit guards on watch in the observation tower in just seconds. The priest Tritium Treasure along with the warrior Godzi were extremely ferocious. These two teamed up to kill four bandit guards and activated the camps gate opening mechanism, thereby opening the camp gate. Seeing the camp gate open, the spirit of the Unicorn Knights outside, charging towards the gate, lifted greatly! Under Tinasmand, the whole squad of knights charged at full speed and stormed through the camp gate. While Nuclear Wastewater and the other two opened the camp gate, their two other team members werent idle either. At the camps back door. The Druid[Neon Mutant], brandishing his ws, along with the Mage[Neon Nuclear Pollution], swiftly killed three bandit guards and directly pushed open the back door. The camps back door leads to a small path through the mountains, connected to the back hill. Both sides of this path were lined with dense trees. Leading 1,000 yers involved in the campaign, Su Yu came out of the forest in a grand procession, appearing outside the back door of the camp. He discussed with Tina C while Tina and her knight squad attacked from the front, they would block the back door, not letting a single bandit escape. Seeing Su Yu, the Mutant and Nuclear Pollution quickly waved: Boss Ke, over here, over here! Both of them were giddy with excitement. Taking part in such an attention-grabbing battle, moreover ying an extremely important role, made them feel extremely proud! You all have worked hard! Su Yu patted both their shoulders. Thanks to Nuclear Wastewater and the other four, this battle progressed much smoother than they could have hoped for. Turning to Snow Leopard, Su Yu said, Snow Leopard, themand of this battle is yours. Dont worry, Snow Leopard grinned and charged into the camp through the back door with therge force of yers. In thergest house at the center of the camp, Bandit Chief Lake seemed to have detected something abnormal in the camp. He awoke from his dream and sat up in bed. As a fifth-rank powerhouse, Lake technically didnt need the sleep. But the entertainment options in the camp were limited and with nothing to do when he wasnt sleeping, he still kept the habit of sleeping. However, the moment he sat up, his expression changed drastically! Because he sensed a golden figure flying towards his location from the sky. Zing Apanied by a piercing noise of metal grinding against stone, a huge golden sword light directly struck the roof of his house. The originally solid roof, just like a piece of tofu, was sliced into halves by the golden sword light. Lakes face changed dramatically. He hurriedly waved his hand, pulling out a blood-red broadsword from the Space Ring. His blood-red fury emerged from his body, clinging to the de as he struggled against the sword light, barely preventing harm to the eight or nine women who shared his bed. Who are you? Why are you attacking my camp? Lake had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He leaped from the bed, flew through the damaged roof, and approached Tina floating midway in the air. I am Tina Garcia, the captain of the Unicorn Knight Legion. I represent the ordinary people and small merchants of Orleans City whom you robbed, and Im here to exterminate your despicable gang of bandits! Tina spoke righteously. A golden glow emerged from her body, shining so brightly that she appeared as an intimidating war goddess. Unicorn Knight Legion? Lake looked confused. Not long ago, he had given many stolen goods to the Windsor family. Why were they at his door now? Were they killing the goose thatid the golden eggs? And wasnt Grace Windsor of the Sanctuary the captain of the Unicorn Knight Legion? How had the position changed to the young girl before him? Lake lived in the mountains, disconnected from the inte, and was unaware of Tinas rise, as it had happened too recently. Tina had no desire to waste words with Lake. Lifting her golden two-handed sword, she shed through the air towards him. Shining me sh! Tina immediatelyunched her signature skill. Lake realized that he couldnt avoid the fight. Great Kill All Sides! He roared furiously. A blood-red light escaped his body, and he grew bigger in an instant. He swung his red broadsword, shing it against Tinas golden two-handed sword. ng! The sword and knife collided in the sky, causing the entire heavens to tremble. In the collision, Tina was violently thrown back more than ten meters. Lake fared slightly better, only being thrown back five meters. It was clear that in the previous sh, Lake had a slight advantage. But this wasnt a duel. There were no rules of conduct here. If she couldnt beat him, she could call for backup! Tina looked down, searching for Su Yus figure. But Su Yu had already disappeared underground along a secret tunnel in Lakes backyard, following Tritium Treasure. He was nowhere to be found on the surface. Out of options, she called out a different name: Fiona! Having developed an adoration for Tina after their strategic battle simtions, Fiona was always by Tinas side and was naturally joined in this mission. Im here! A beautiful silver figure shot towards the sky from the ground below. It was Fiona. As Fiona closed in on Lake, she immediately initiated her ultimate skill, Unparalleled Challenge, causing four pale blue weak points to emerge around Lake. Fiona took advantage of Lakes distraction tounch an Air Break sh, her single-handed sword striking squarely at one of Lakes weak points on his thigh. Fionas ultimate had a key trait. When she struck a targets weak point, it would inflict significant real damage. Caught unprepared without his armor, Lakes anger shield was pierced by Fionas thrust, and blood started gushing from his thigh. And Fiona wasnt done. She circled Lake, striking each of the four weak points in turn. These four blows not only inflicted substantial real damage but also created arge healing array at the feet of Fiona and Tina, restoring their health, energy, and fury. Lake was severely injured under Fionas onught. Knowing he couldnt defeat them both inbat, he took advantage of a gap in their attacks, breaking away and fleeing towards the eastern sky. But Tina and Fiona certainly werent going to let a bandit leader of such significance escape. Under their relentless pursuit and strikes, the heavily injured Lakes life force rapidly dwindled. Finally, about a kilometer from the bandit camp, Lake waspletely in under thebined attack of Tina and Fiona. Chapter 180: 180, campaign pass, the guardian appears again_1 Chapter 180: campaign pass, the guardian appears again_1 Trantor: 549690339 After killing the enemy leader, the rest was much easier. Leaning on her sword, Tina wiped the sweat off her forehead, Finally killed him! Fiona, return to the camp first. Prioritize attacking the third and fourth rank bandits, dont let these bandits be too dangerous. Understood. Fiona also wiped her sweating and flew in the direction of the camp. Tina looked at the dead Lake andmanded the nearest squad of knights toe and collect Lakes body. Then Tina returned to the camp, flying high in the sky. Above the camp, Tina looked down at the entire battlefield from the sky, dividing her mental power into more than twenty parts and issuingmands to eachbat team below: First team, move forward fifty meters in the 2 oclock direction Seventh team, execute a surprise attack on the building located 20 meters to your direct east, where a group of bandits is gathering. Third team, a group of bandits is causing trouble at your ten oclock direction. Encircle them from the right rear Sixth team retreat. Avoid the high-ranking bandit in front of you! Fiona, 300 meters to your left front there is a fourth-rank bandit Tina was using the Gods eye tomand the entire map from the sky. Thismand mode is basically the same as the Chess Strategy. Thats why chess strategy is popr in the game world and even bes one of the important standards for judging themand ability of generals. This is not the same as the way generalsmanded battles in ancient Blue Star. Under Tinasmand, the entire Unicorn Legion seemed toe alive, galloping throughout the camp map. The small counter-attack the bandits had managed to organize was quickly eliminated. As for the yers led by Snow Leopard, they were also actively cooperating with the Unicorn Knights to clear out the bandits. The campaign goal given to the yers was: Large-scale scene campaign [Siege of the Red Ridge Mountain Bandit Camp]. Campaign requirements: Assist the Unicorn Knights in upying the Bandit Camp. Current: [upied]: 32%; [Loss]: 0%; [Seizure]: 35%. Campaign reward: Experience Points X4500, Spiritual Energy Coins 30. Note: The higher the [upied], [Seized] percentage, and the lower the [Loss] percentage, the higher the campaigns score. All three values in the notes are significant. So, while assisting the Unicorn Legion in capturing and killing bandits, the yers autonomously flocked to the Unicorn Knights. As soon as Unicorn Knights were focused on by the enemy or attacked by high-ranking powerhouses, the yers would spontaneously go forward, using their bodies to help them shield against arrows and single spells. Thanks to the yers willingness to sacrifice themselves, many Unicorn Knights who should have been killed or severely injured were spared, and the casualty rate was greatly reduced. Su Yu did not join the battle. Except for issuing various sub-quest to the yers, he had been treasure hunting in the camp the entire time, raising the [Seizure] percentage. For example, Tritium treasure discovered a secret passage in Lakes backyard. Su Yu led people to explore it, and after clearing some decryption levels and destroying many traps, they sessfully found many good things that Lake had treasured for many years from the underground chamber! Just the gains from the underground chamber alone increased the [Seizure] value by 28%! As time went on, the whole campaign officially ended after 40 minutes. Without a doubt, this campaign was a great victory! Because the campaign took ce early in the morning, most of the bandits were killed or captured while sleeping. A small number of those who awakened wanted to resist, but they were promptly obliterated under Tinasmand. Snow Leopard stood on a watchtower, constantly using various chat rooms to assign tasks to yers, allowing the yers to y a significant role, killing many bandits and reducing a substantial number of casualties for the Unicorn Knights. In the end, no Unicorn Knights died, and only five were severely injured and more than twenty were slightly injured; However, the yers died between 60 and 70, but since yers can respawn, the number of casualties didnt matter. After all the bandits in the camp were killed or captured, and Su Yu brought people to search out all the well-hidden treasures, this campaign officially ended. Each yer received a game prompt: Ding, congrattions onpleting the scene campaign [Siege of the Red Ridge Mountain Bandit Camp]. Current [upied]: 100%; [Loss]: 0%; [Seizure]: 94% is being scored The score for this scene campaign is SS. Score reward: all the experience and spiritual energy coins gained from the whole campaign +40%; Reward a random blue excellent quality equipment suitable for the yers level and profession, a random green superior-quality equipment. Thank you yers for your enthusiastic participation, [Siege of the Red Ridge Mountain Bandit Camp] scene campaign officially ends! After receiving the game prompt, Su Yu walked out of Lakes treasure room, yawningzily. This campaign went even smoother than nned, and he also discovered many good things in the treasure hunt. Like the painting he was holding in his hands: [Love and Family (Painting)] Properties: cing in the [Exhibition Hall] of the territory can increase the [Tourism] of the territory by +1. [Tourism]is a hidden value of the territory. Improving [Tourism]can increase ie, speed up poption growth, and increase the fame of the territory and so on. This painting is an unexpected gain, and Su Yu is delighted. Tina also descended from the sky, giving Su Yu an enthusiastic hug, Nemesis, we made it! Yes, we seeded. Su Yu smiled, You wont feel insecure anymore, right? Tina nodded, Indeed, after improving my militarymand ability, my insecurity basically disappeared, thank you Nemesis! She buried her head in Su Yus chest, a happy smile on her face. However, at this moment, there came an untimely cough from the side, Ahem! Apanied by the cough sound, the surrounding Unicorn Knights and yers suddenly froze in ce. Even the flying dust stopped falling, and the entire world was frozen instantly. At the same time, an elderly man wearing a white linen robe appeared next to them. It was the guardian god, Kevin Forsythia. Guardian Lord! Tina got a start, promptly withdrew from Su Yus embrace, and bowed to the elderly man. Hello, teacher! Su Yu also quickly bowed to him. Hello, you two! Kevin Forsythia smiled kindly at them, The reason for my appearance this time is to tell you several things. Su Yu and Tina did not interrupt, quietly waiting for the guardian god to continue speaking. Kevin looked at the two of them and slowly said: Firstly, Tina, Im very satisfied with your growth over this period of time! After Berninas fall Nevermind, lets not talk about that. Kevin shook his head, looking at Su Yu, Nemesis, youve also yed a significant role during this time, and Im also very satisfied with you! Thanks for your praise, teacher. Su Yu slightly bowed, I wonder if the Bernina you mentioned refers to Bernina Tide? Chapter 181: 181, It’s time to lay the cards on the table! _1 Chapter 181: Its time toy the cards on the table! _1 Trantor: 549690339 [Bernina Tide] was a Level Eight God-ss powerhouse. A century ago, there were as many as three God-ss powerhouses among the humans, of which she and Kevin were two. In a significant shift a hundred years ago, Bernina unexpectedly fell. Since then, there have only been two remaining God-ss powerhouses in humanity, a state that has persisted until now. Could it be that Tina and Bernina are rted? Kevin Forsythia gently stroked his beard, smiling, Exactly, I am referring to Bernina Tide. If I am not mistaken, Tina is her descendant and has inherited a portion of her power. Tina slightly changed her expression, Bernina is my ancestor? But my father never mentioned anything about this to me! Your father probably didnt know either. After all, Bernina getting married and having a child happened thousands of years ago Nevermind this, lets discuss the matter at hand. With a wave of his hand, Kevin said leisurely, Ive sensed an issue with my embodiment. I must rush over now, so for the next few months, I wont return to Orleans City. Without my protection, be more cautious in whatever you do. Youre leaving? Both Su Yu and Tina nced at each other, each noticing the pressures building within each others gaze. Previously, their reckless confrontations with Grace and Orleans Citys city lord were made possible because of the guardian deitys protection. But now the guardian deity was leaving, and they were in trouble! You dont need to worry too much, Kevin Forsythias voice remained nonchnt. I will leave you with some life-saving measures which you can use at critical moments. As his voice fell, two objects appeared instantly in the hands of Su Yu and Tina. Appearing in Tinas hand was a tinum ring embedded with a white gemstone. In Su Yus hands, there was a pale gold scroll. A game prompt sound came to Su Yus ears, Ding, main storyline plot [Saint of Orleans City (25/100)] has beenpleted. You have received the task reward: 3000 Experience Points and [Summoning Scroll of Tina Garcia (Consumable)] x1. [Summoning Scroll of Tina Garcia (Consumable)] Remaining Usage: 1 How to use: Channel magic power into the scroll, for 5 minutes straight. Effect: Summons [Tina Garcia] to fight by your side,sting for one hour. Note: If [Tina Garcia] dies in the game, the scroll bes ineffective. (The residual ineffective time of the scroll is 455 days) This this scroll. Su Yu felt a jolt in his heart. Previously, Su Yu had a n: If he received any amazing life-saving item at the first stage of Tinas mission line that could also be used in reality, then he would use up his [6th Order Temporary Experience Scroll] to acquire another Spiritual Spring Eye for Blue Stars humans. Now, he has gotten what he wanted! With this scroll gold-ted, he could summon Tina, whos at the Fifth order, in reality! Tina has a skill called [Tina Garcias Blessing], which can boost his level to the same as hers. This would be more than enough for self-protection in the real world. It appears its time for me toy my cards on the table with the authorities! Su Yu looked at the Snow Leopard in the distance, his eyes sharpening. He had also decided that as soon as todays matters in the game were dealt with, and after getting the scroll gold-ted by the Sky Dragon, he would officially confront the authorities! Obtaining a Spiritual Spring Eye one day earlier would only give humans an edge in fighting against Skuru. . Tina was still curiously staring at the white gemstone ring in her hand. Unlike Su Yu, she couldnt see the items attributes, so she didnt know what use it had. Kevin Forsythiaughed and exined, This is a transportation ring. Tina, if you encounter danger, just channel your anger into the ring, and it will automatically transport you to a safe ce. Of course, the ring has a range. If you are in human territory, it could save you. But if you run into Elfin Dwarf territory, the ring cant help. Thank you, Guardian deity, Tina said in gratitude. Dont worry about it. Kevin Forsythia turned and waved his hand, Im leaving now. You should take care. With that, Kevin Forsythias figure disappeared on the spot, vanishing in an instant. At the same time, the nearby yers and unicorn knights became unfrozen, returning to their normal activities. It seemed that they had not noticed the temporal freeze, and they were stillughing and talking, doing their own things as usual. Su Yu sent a message to the Snow Leopard, Did you notice anything strange just now? No, what could be strange? replied the Snow Leopard. Nothing then, Su Yu closed the private chat window, lost in thought. It seemed that Kevin Forsythia had mastered some sort of terrifying ability, simr to time stop. Indeed, God-ss powerhouses are terrifying. However, Su Yu didnt have much time to think. As the battle ended, the yers immediately encircled him: Boss Ke, were here to submit our tasks! The experience points from this battle are quite a lot. With a mainline and three sublines, plus the 40% bonus, each of us can get 10,080 experience points! Though its not as much asst time, it still smells sweet. Its certainly more interesting than leveling up! The best part is the blue equipment reward. I wish for the Level 15 [Quicksand Bow]! I already have a weapon. I wish for some jewelry or ornament! Everyone gathered around Su Yu, chattering excitedly. Seeing everyone this enthusiastic, Su Yu naturally wouldnt dampen their spirits. He opened the task proxy panel, and a golden question mark appeared above his head. At the same time, heughed, Dont crowd, take your time, everyone gets a share! Okay, Boss Ke! The yers, excited and high-spirited, queuing orderly to submit their tasks. The levels of the yers were generally only 16 or 17. More than 10,000 experience points for them could almost fill their experience bars 50%. Throughout the process of task submission, golden rays of level-ups burst from at least half of the yers. Among the crowds, there were asional cries of joy or frustration. The joyful ones probably received the equipment they wanted, while the frustrating ones were probably just out of luck. Su Yus game journal was also rapidly scrolling. Ding! The yer Lucaspleted the task, you receive 108 bonus experience points. Ding! The yer Patriciapleted the task, you receive 108 bonus experience points. Ding! The yer Abbypleted the task Su Yus experience bar was skyrocketing! After the four-day main task along Tinas mission line, he had leveled up from Level 26 with 96%, to Level 28 with 50%. And this time, he gained as much as 100,000 experience points! It took 54,000 experience points to level up from Level 28 to Level 29, and 57,000 experience points to level up to Level 30 from Level 29. After the yers had submitted their tasks, Su Yus level directly reached Level 29 with 100%! He, too, received a game prompt: Ding! Your level has reached the upper limit of the first expansion pack. You can only continue to level up after the second expansion pack is released. Chapter 182: 182、End of the first phase of Tina’s line_1 Chapter 182: 182End of the first phase of Tinas line_1 Trantor: 549690339 A second after receiving the game notification, Su Yu received another game prompt: Ding, congrattions on obtaining the [Experience Crystal Stone]. You can check the item details in your backpack. He opened his backpack and found an additional [Experience Crystal Stone] filling itsst empty slot. The Crystal Stone was a transparent stone, which when materialized was the size of a pebble in his hand. [Experience Crystal Stone (Special Item)] Current stored Experience Points: 324. Description: Once your level reaches the version limit, any experience points earned are stored in this Crystal Stone and can be used directly when the next expansion is released. Su Yu had never heard of this [Experience Crystal Stone]. In his past life, a few yers reached the level cap in the first and second expansions, just tens of people in the entire Chinese server. None of theter expansions let any yer reach the level cap, so few people knew about the [Experience Crystal Stone], and hence Su Yu had never heard of it. As yerspleted their quests one after another, the Experience Points umting in the [Experience Crystal Stone] became more and more, and the transparent stone in Su Yus hand grewrger andrger. In the end, the number of the Crystal Stone stopped at 16234, the size of the stone increased from that of a pebble to that of an apple. Su Yu tossed the transparent apple in his hand and a weird thought suddenly crossed his mind, With all the experience I will umte in this version, could I eventually form a small mountain-sized Crystal Stone and use it to smash people? However, he didnt dwell on this thought for long and soon put it aside. By now, the entire battle hade to aplete end. yers, brandishing their gear, returned to their cities, boasting to their friends with satisfaction; Tina and most of the unicorn knights, taking arge batch of seized goods, bandit prisoners, and Lakes corpse returned to Orleans City; Su Yu stayed at the bandit camp along with the remaining 50 unicorn knights to handle the aftermath. The [Red Ridge Bandit Camp] had been operating for three years, and it was not only bandits inside, but arge number of elderly, weak, women and children, craftsmen, and enved were also seized. The unicorn knights drove these people to the square at the gate of the camp, Su Yu and his secretary Swift roughly counted, there were about two to three thousand people. If they were left here uncared for, the craftsmen among them would find a way to survive, but the majority of the others would be taken away and enved by the city lords manor. Out of pity for these NPCs (definitely not to exploit them for freebor), Su Yu naturally decided to show them a way to survive. Standing in the center of the camp, Su Yu faced the two to three thousand NPCs and spoke loudly: Good day to you all, Im Nemesis (omits 300 words) The unicorn knights have eradicated the bandits in this stronghold, and now youre all free! Upon hearing Su Yus words, many people shed tears of joy: We thank the brave knights of the knight regiment! Three years! Do you know what Ive been through these past three years? I can finally go home now, wuu wuu Most of these people were craftsmen like carpenters and stone masons who were kidnapped by the bandits and worked asborers without any remuneration. Now they could finally return home! These craftsmen were extremely excited and kept bowing and paying respect to the unicorn knights and Su Yu. There were also many people in the crowd who exhibited a look of terror and despair. These people were the family members of the bandits, mostly the elderly and weak. As per the Empiresws, they would be degraded to very until death. The freedom that Su Yu spoke of certainly did not include them. Noticing the expressions of these people, Su Yu spoke loudly: As for the other parties associated with the bandits, ording to the Empiresws, you could be degraded into ves. However, the unicorn knights have always upheld fairness, justice, and mercy for the weak (omits 500 words) You can choose toe to my territory as free citizens. I cant guarantee much else, but I can assure you that you wont starve and you wont freeze to death. Upon hearing Su Yus impassioned words, the eyes of many of the elderly and weak shone with excitement, and they dered their willingness to follow, I am willing to go to your territory, sir! At this point, to be considered a free citizen and ensure ones survival is the biggest fortune. What more could they hope for? Seeing that these people were reasonable, Su Yu nodded and turned to Swift, saying: Swift, Ill have the knights assist you in bringing these people back to my territory. Okay, Chairman but do these people count as the poption in my territory? They wont count as poption, as the game doesnt allow for that loophole. However, if these people live in my territory long-term, their next generation will count as part of the poption. Furthermore, this group has a high proportion of females, which will likely increase the proportion of young male refugees we attract in the future. Understood, I will ensure they are properly settled. Right. Su Yu walked towards the 50 unicorn knights. Upon reaching team leader Felia, he handed her a bag full of spiritual energy coins. Captain Felia, I entrust this group of refugees to you! Felia took the bag of money, her eyes narrowing slightly: Leave it to me, Lord Nemesis. Next, the NPC refugees were handled by Swift, and Su Yu rode his horse back to Orleans City. Orleans City was currently conducting a massive victory parade. Tina had Lakes corpse tied up on a cross, making a public show of the captured bandits on the streets. Citizens of Orleans City who heard about the eradication of the malicious bandits of Red Ridge came to watch. Upon seeing Lakes corpse, the entire city burst into cheers! Everyone spontaneously began praising Tinas outstanding deeds. Of course, there were those who were discontented, such as the wealthy nobles and businessmen in the city. With Tinas extermination of the bandits, she had inadvertently cut off many peoples source of ie. But Tina had a Guardian God backing her, so they dares not voice their discontent. Even the city lord of Orleans City, ude, made a personal appearance to award Tina the [Orleans Cross Medal]. In the center square of Orleans City, ude handed the medal to Tina and praised: Tina, on behalf of all the residents of this city, I offer you the highest respect (omits 300 words) You are the pride of Orleans City, and all citizens are proud of your actions! udes expression was calm, as if Tina hadnt just killed his cousin. Thank you, Lord Mayor! Tina received the medal with aposed face, bowing as she epted the award. The moment Tina received the medal, the onlookers erupted in huge cheers, showering Tina with apuse for her deeds. Su Yu stood on the periphery of the crowd, watching Tinas award ceremony. Amidst the cheer of the crowd, he received a game notification: Main storyline [The Holy Girl of Orleans (16-25)]. Objective 1: Dissipate Tinas difort and restore her confidence. (Progress: 100%) Objective 2: Have Tina win the approval of 80% of the unicorn knights (Currently at 95% approval rate). Objective 3: Have Tina win the approval of more than 60% of the residents of Orleans City (Currently at 97% approval rate). All mission objectives areplete! The first stage of the main storyline [The Holy Girl of Orleans] is finished. The next stage of the mission will start on June 15, stay tuned! Chapter 183: 183, Showing Cards Officially_1 Chapter 183: Showing Cards Officially_1 Trantor: 549690339 The first phase of Tinas quest progressed quickly, with Su Yupleting it in just 4 days. The date was now June 12th. The second phase of both main quests would start in 3 days. Aside from developing his territory, there wasnt much else to do in these three days. So, Su Yu nned to focus his energy offline, getting things done in the real world. However, the precondition was that he would gild Tinas Summoning Scroll first. Su Yu nced at his backpack. He had 128 pieces of [Tinas Blood]. He contacted Sky Dragon, ready to ask the little loli for help in gilding. Sky Dragon was very helpful. Under her high luck boost, Su Yu sessfully gilded both the [Summoning Scroll of Tina Garcia] and [Echo of the Ghost Cat], and still had 51 [Tinas Blood] left. [Echo of the Ghost Cat (Gold)] Remaining uses: 13 Effect 1: Uses one charge to grant the [Ghost] state, allowing you to pass through any obstructive object such as a wall,sting for 5 minutes. Effect 2: Uses 10 charges to summon the Ghost Cat tounch a [Ghost Strike] dealing 100% true damage of the targets life value, ignoring shields and damage reduction skills. (Only valid for targets below level 70.) Once the gilding was sessful, it was time to reveal the truth to the authorities! As Su Yu rode Dima through the bustling streets of Orleans, he sent a private message to Snow Leopard: Are you busy now? Snow Leopard replied, Doing tasks. Su Yu: Orleans coordinates (215, 164) at the House of Warm Wind pub. Fancy a drink? Snow Leopard: Is it urgent? Su Yu: Certainly. Snow Leopard: Ill be right there. A few minutester, Snow Leopard arrived at the House of Warm Wind pub, looking haggard as he pushed open the oak door. This was the first time Nemesis had requested a private meeting, Snow Leopard wondered what the matter could be. Entering the pub, Snow Leopard noticed that it was a rather shabby ce, with outdated facilities and no other yers, only Su Yu sitting by the bar. Seeing Snow Leopards arrival, Su Yu waved at him and tossed him a ss of beer: You need to rest more, mate, youve got serious bags under your eyes! Snow Leopard still had dark circles under his eyes, he looked exhausted. In addition to ying the game, he was swamped with numerous real-world tasks, sleeping only 2-3 hours per day, the dark circles were a permanent fixture. s, I cant sleep! Snow Leopard took a sip of the beer Su Yu tossed him and chuckled bitterly: Every time I close my eyes, I hear the roar of the Skuru fleet, how could I possibly sleep? He walked over to Su Yu: Whats the reason you summoned me, senior? Su Yu waved his hand dismissively: You dont have to call me senior anymore. I called you here to clear things up. I am not Zhang Jiao. What? Youre not Zhang Jiao? Snow Leopard was shocked, and the beer ss in his hand disintegrated. The authorities had previously suspected that Nemesis wasnt Zhang Jiao, because Nemesis appeared too young. The authorities have now managed to contact the Ming Dynastys founding emperor Zhu Guorui, who also entered the game. But Zhu Guorui still looked old after entering the game, he couldnt change his age. Nemesis was too young, it was unlikely that he was Zhang Jiao surviving till now. But the authorities didnt spend much effort investigating this. After all, with amon enemy at hand, the authorities wanted to use as many resources as possible to fight against the Skuru rather than waste time and resources investigating one of their own. Unbelievably, Nemesis was the one to reveal his own identity. So who are you? Snow Leopards face turned extremely solemn. Su Yu took a sip of beer and calmly answered: Theres this young man in East Sea City that you guys discovered was capable of actualizing his power in the real world, remember him? Snow Leopards eyes narrowed: Are you referring to Su Yu? Su Yu nodded: Thats right, Im him. Snow Leopard took a deep breath. Nemesis wasnt Zhang Jiao, but Su Yu instead! Snow Leopard found it hard to believe. Su Yus life was thoroughly investigated by the authorities. Before Evolution wasunched, he was just a handsome but otherwise normal person. After Evolution wasunched, he used his actualized power to kill dozens of ghosts, making a great contribution to humanity. Moreover, Su Yus great contributions at East Sea University, the Pan Mountain Highway, and Mu Yun Building were basically cleared up. Xue Wenli spoke highly of him; he was a focus of attention for the authorities. It never crossed his mind that Su Yu, the top yer in the game Nemesis, and Zhang Jiao who had constantly guided him, were the same person. How could he not be shocked? Why why did you pretend to be Zhang Jiao in the first ce? No sooner had Snow Leopard spoken than he realized what a foolish question hed just asked. If Su Yu hadnt pretended to be Zhang Jiao, why would the authorities trust him? Su Yu also shook his head with a smile: Lets not talk about Zhang Jiao any more. We can treat the past as if it never happened. The reason Im revealing my real identity now is twofold. One, to show my sincerity in cooperating; and two, because of this. Su Yu showed Snow Leopard the properties of the [6th Order Temporary Experience Scroll (Gold)]. Snow Leopard tried to suppress his chaotic thoughts and looked at the item Su Yu was showing. After reading it, his face was full of confusion: [6th Order Temporary Experience Scroll]? What good is this? This scroll is gold. ording to my testing, gold items can be brought into reality. Su Yu exined. What?! Snow Leopard was so shocked that he nearly fell off his stool. He quickly held onto the bar to stop himself from toppling over. Gold items can be brought into reality, why didnt you tell me this sooner?! Snow Leopard previously hadnt thought much of gold items, he even thought they were just for aesthetics, but now, they could be brought into reality! That would be a huge help to humanity! Many people relied on equipment to boost their abilities. Its because there was no use in telling. Su Yu shrugged and exined: By the time yers are able to actualize their power, theyre already at the third order. At that point, first-order equipment is useless. They would be better off farming for a set of third order white board gold equipment in the wild. As for scrolls like the one I showed you, you can only get them from the main storyline quests, not regr hidden quests. So thats why! Snow Leopard had an epiphany: No wonder you instructed me to keep a close watch on the two yers who took on the rebel mainline quests and not waste their consumables. So this is why! Snow Leopard was quick-witted and immediately realized how important the gold scroll in Su Yus hand was! To be a 6th order powerhouse in reality was an invigorating thought. He stared intently at the scroll: Are you saying you want to bring this scroll into reality and use it? Yes, thats exactly what Im saying. This is a big deal! Let me have Wen Li pick you up so we can discuss it in person. Snow Leopard said hastily. Alright, see you in person then. Su Yu nodded and clicked the [Log Out] button. Both their figures disappeared from the pub. Chapter 184: 184, First encounter with ancient power (leave replacement 2/2)_1 Chapter 184: First encounter with ancient power (leave recement 2/2)_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the real world, Su Yu opened his eyes. However, he didnt rush to take off his helmet, but first looked at his attributes through the reality panel attached to the helmet. yer: Su Yu Level: 29 (First Order) Skills: [Magic Bullet (Legendary)], [Lightning Bolt (Legendary)] [Ice Cone Skill (Legendary)] Equipment: [Oasis Cantors Wand Lv28 (Legendary)], [Schrs Headscarf Lv14 (Epic)] [Advanced Schrs Badge] Items: [Viges Best Sword], [Echo of the Ghost Cat], [Hearthstone], [Nut Wall], [Stopwatch], [Sixth Order Temporary Experience Scroll], [Summoning Scroll of Tina Garcia], [Energy Potion] x1, [Intermediate Life Restoration Potion] X2 On Su Yu, the [Oasis Cantors Wand] is a reward forpleting the 23rd task of Tinas line. The rest of his equipment was basically bought from the auction house and has been upgraded to the epic level for temporary use. The equipment isnt very important, whats truly consequential are these heaven-defying items. After getting up, Su Yu put on his coat and first materialized the [Stopwatch]. A few beams of starlight converged in his hand, finally condensing into a blue [Stopwatch]. The [Stopwatch] can provide immunity to damage for a short time. With the [Stopwatch], he no longer needs to worry about his own safety. Su Yu put the [Stopwatch] in his trouser pocket, plucked a SUN-36ser gun from the wardrobe, and slipped it into the inner pocket of his jacket. Then he sat in front of hisputer, surfing the web chat while waiting for Xue Wenli to arrive. 20 minutester, Xue Wenli knocked on the door. Another 20 minutes passed, and Su Yu and Xue Wenli arrived at the sub-branch of the relevant department, the same office building downtown where Su Yu had tested his spiritual energyst time. Thest time Su Yu came to this building, it was messy with various items strewn about. This time, the office building has been cleaned up very well, looking more like a workspace than a warehouse. In the elevator, Xue Wenli pressed the 23 button, brushed her short hair, and looked at Su Yu with strange eyes: I really didnt expect it, you are Nemesis. The two things that Xue Wenli dedicates to most during work are searching for traces of ghosts and notifying Su Yu to visit the ghosts; and the other is when Nemesis makes a major scene in the game. She had men retain its exposure and keep it popr. She originally thought that Nemesiswas a revived ancient powerhouse, specifically Zhang Jiao. To rify this, she had especially read many ancient books on the Heavenly General Zhang Jiao. She didnt expect that it was Su Yu, impersonating Zhang Jiao, which was a bit hard to ept. Su Yu shrugged his shoulders, exining: I had to protect myself. Im still very weak now, just able to withstand bullets. If I were attacked by missiles, I might not survive, so of course I have to keep a low profile. Xue Wenli: ??? Barely withstand bullets? Having a chance of survival under missile attack? You call this weak? Do you misunderstand the term weak? Nheless, Xue Wenli managed to restrain herself from expressing her feeling of disdain and crossed her arms to say, But honestly, your ability to hide is quite on point. Last time when you came for the magic intensity test, you only managed to test the parameters of a 7th level mage, but by that time, you were already at double-digit levels in the game, right? Correct, I calcted it precisely, isnt that worth praise? Su Yu chuckled. Praise? Xue Wenli rolled her eyes. For some reason, Xue Wenli suddenly felt the urge to hit him. By this time, the elevator had reached the 23rd floor. Xue Wenli took her long strides out of the elevator. While clicking her heels on the floor, she said, Ill take you to the conference room. Zhong Feng well, Snow Leopard is already there, and Commissioner Zhang is alsoing. Commissioner Zhang? Commissioner Zhang is the supervisor of our relevant department, and he is also one of the main decision-makers in dealing with the Skuru threat. Xue Wenli exined, But you dont need to worry. Youve made significant contributions to mankind; were all on the same side here, and our own people certainly wouldnt harm our own people. Su Yu nodded and followed Xue Wenli towards the end of the hallway. At the end of the corridor was arge conference room. Xue Wenli opened the door to the conference room and led Su Yu inside. There werent many people in the conference room, just three men. Su Yu nced at the three men. One of them, in his thirties, with a square face and heavy dark circles, was certainly Zhong Feng. His dark circles just made him too recognizable. The second one was a middle-aged man in his fifties, with shining eyes, likely the Commissioner Zhang that Xue Wenli mentioned. As for the third man, Su Yu was stunned when he saw him, his face quickly changing. He never expected it would be him! If the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guorui, had appeared in the conference room, Su Yu might not have been surprised. But this man, Su Yu honestly wouldnt have expected it! Seeing that Xue Wenli had brought someone, both Commissioner Zhang and Zhong Feng immediately stood up to greet them. As for the third man who surprised Su Yu, he remained seated, eyeing Su Yu with a somewhat arrogant expression. Su Yu didnt mind and just chuckled. Xue Wenli introduced the three men to Su Yu: Su Yu, this is Commissioner Zhang, one of the main military decision-makers in the Country. Hello, Su Yu. Commissioner Zhang appeared quite friendly, extending his hand to Su Yu, Ive heard about your exploits from Zhong Feng and Wen Li. Hearing that you intended to use the sixth order experience scroll in reality, I immediately rushed over. Hello, Inspector Zhang. Su Yu shook his hand. Xue Wenli introduced another man to Su Yu: This is Zhong Feng, his game ID is Snow Leopard, you guys should be very familiar with each other, so I wont go into much detail. Hello Nemesis, we finally meet! Snow Leopard moved forward, shaking hands with Su Yu. Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Zhong Feng had mixed feelings. Firstly, he was the Nemesis in the game that charmed the world of Evolution. Secondly, it was under his prompt that the Country shifted the grand strategy to Evolution in due time, dodging many detours. Finally, in reality, it was presumably Su Yu who killed the Skuru in Mu Yun Mansion, which allowed humans to seize thergest Spiritual Spring Eye. Can one individual really generate such a huge momentum? Zhong Feng didnt know what to say all at once. By now, Xue Wenli was introducing the third person to Su Yu, this person who remained seated: This is an ancient powerhouse we just contacted recently. If youve read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you certainly know his name Let me guess. Su Yu interrupted Xue Wenli and smiled at that man, If Im not mistaken, you must be the famous Cao Mengde, Prime Minister Cao Cao, right? Chapter 185: 185、Cao Mengde_1 Chapter 185: 185Cao Mengde_1 Trantor: 549690339 Indeed, I am Cao Cao, the old man readily admitted. However, the look he gave Su Yu was somewhat surprised, How did you recognize me? Simple, Su Yu smiled. I like to browse the official forum of Evolution when Im free. Ive seen a user with the ID This Humble Cao Mengde, which I assume is you, Prime Minister? I once visited this users homepage, and the photo there was of you. Haha, thats me! Cao Mengde stroked his beard andughed heartily. Those little rascals in the forum refuse to believe that I am Cao Cao. Even when I posted my own photo, they didnt believe me. But you, my friend, have a keen eye. A reward is in order! With that, a transparent jade vial flew out of his wide sleeve andnded neatly on the table in front of Su Yu. This is a Rx and Activate pill. It may be of no use to you, but if given to your family members, they could cure all sorts of diseases and add 50 years to their lifespans. Thank you, Prime Minister! Su Yu thanked with a fist in palm salute. Su Yu didnt know much about Prime Minister Cao Cao in his previous life. There are two types of ancient powers that have revived. The first type lives an isted life from the world and only speaks ancientnguage, making it hard for modern people to understand them except through writtenmunication. The other type is like Prime Minister Cao Cao. They are deeply embedded in the world, not only do they speak fluent Mandarin, but they also frequently experience thetest human technology and y the newest games. Unfortunately, powers like Prime Minister Cao Cao are rare, and they only make up about 20% of the total. ording to Su Yus memories from his past life, there was a user with the ID This Humble Cao Mengde in the official forum of Evolution who frequently posted and imed to be Cao Cao. Of course, the other users didnt believe him and made sarcastic remarks towards him, like they did with Kong Yiji. On June 1st, 21 years ago, which was the day when humans and Skurus officially went to war, This Humble Cao Mengde made a post on the forum, stating that he was going to take action. But with the world in chaos, nobody had the mood to reply to his post. Later, Prime Minister Cao Cao appeared in peoples sight, raided arge Spiritual Spring Eye, killed three 6th grade Sanctuary Skurus, and eventually died in that battle, disappearing after merely making a brief appearance. After that, the avatar of This Humble Cao Mengde never lit up again. The relevant departments cross-referenced hisst post and confirmed that he was the real Cao Cao and announced it publicly, causing quite a stir domestically. But in this life, things seemed to have changed a lot. In his previous life, Prime Minister Cao Cao never contacted the government for some unknown reason. But in this life, Prime Minister Cao Cao has already appeared in the relevant departments, obviously starting to cooperate with the government, which ispletely different from his previous life! But thinking of everything he did since his rebirth that could have caused a huge butterfly effect, the divergence of this world line from the previous one was quite normal. However, Su Yu still nned to ask just to confirm, Prime Minister, is the reason for youring out of the mountain because of the Spiritual Energy in Yunlu Mountains Spring Eye? Of course, what else could it be? The prime ministerughingly admitted. The exhaustion of spiritual energy has really screwed us old fes over! We need to absorb arge amount of spiritual energy to recover our strength. I heard that the government has secured a Spiritual Spring Eye, so here I am! So how much strength do you have left, Prime Minister? As of now The prime minister slowly replied, I only have about one percent of my peak strength left, roughly equivalent to a cultivator who has just entered the Formation Period. I see, nodded Su Yu. Most cultivators in China choose to follow the path of cultivation, which is divided into eight stages: Turning Phase, Fusion, Heart Activation, Gold Pill, Primordial Spirit, Spirit Separation, Integration, and Great Vehicle. These basically correspond to the level one to eight in Evolution. The Prime Minister is now at the Gold Pill stage, equivalent to a level four power. Lets all sit down and talk, Commissioner Zhang gestured for Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao Cao to sit down. Thanks, quickly sat down on the leather chair. He saw a cup of water on the table in front of him and unconsciously picked it up, intending to have a sip to calm himself down. But just as Su Yu picked up the cup, Zhong Fengs face changed and he quickly ran to stop him. Wait, you cant drink that! Whats wrong? Su Yu was taken aback. But he immediately found out why C because this cup of water was emitting a strong smell of alcohol. Zhong Feng apologized, Heres what happened. When you and Wen Li were not here, we hurriedly met with an international friend. Considering this friends preferences, this cup was specifically prepared for him. Vodka, 56 degrees. Su Yu: Hearing the word Vodka, he had a good guess as to which countrys friend it was. Commissioner Zhang also nodded, inteced his fingers on the table. He spoke earnestly, Due to the Spiritual Spring Eye in Yunlu Mountain, many ancient powers have emerged, including many international friends, such as the one we just met. But sadly, the yield of the Spiritual Spring Eye in Yunlu Mountain is not enough, we cant fully exploit it due to international pressure. The spiritual energy produced from the Spring Eye is not sufficient, this problem often troubles me. With that, he sighed slightly. Since its not enough, how about we take back another Spiritual Spring Eye? As he spoke, several beams of starlight converged in Su Yus hand and gradually condensed into a parchment scroll radiating a faint magical aura. In an instant, all eyes in the meeting room focused on the scroll. Zhong Feng took a deep breath, Nemesis, do you intend to use the scroll to take back a Spiritual Spring Eye? Of course! And we need to act quickly. The earlier we take it back, the more resources we can get. Su Yu was resolute. Commissioner Zhang started to contemte, his hand on his chin. However, after less than half a minute, he made a decision, Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, Su Yu, I support your decision. Have you decided on which Spiritual Spring Eye to capture yet? Not yet, Su Yu shook his head. Im not sure about the situation inside the Spiritual Spring Eyes, I need your help with that. But lets make one thing clear in advance, I want fifty percent of the spiritual energy from the Spring Eye! Fifty percent of the spiritual energy from a small Spiritual Spring Eye plus the resources from the Mage Tower in the game would ensure a constant supply till his reach 5th or 6th grade, anything more would be a waste. No problem, I agree to your condition, Commissioner Zhang epted without hesitating. Even if Su Yu wanted all of it, he would still agree without hesitation. Then Commissioner Zhang turned to the two people next to him, Zhong Feng, Wen Li, focus your work on Su Yu for the time being. Help him to the best of your abilities to make the most of the scroll. Understood! Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng got up, and solemnly epted the order. Chapter 186: 186, Three things (Thanks to Dao Yuling for the 10,000 prize!)_1 Chapter 186: Three things (Thanks to Dao Yuling for the 10,000 prize!)_1 Trantor: 549690339 The efficiency of the concerned department is exceptionally high. In just over ten minutes, a plethora of images, video materials, and satellite photos about various small spiritual spring eyes were transmitted to Xue Wenlisptop. Xue Wenli projected these materials onto the wall using a projector. Su Yu, Zhong Feng, Commissioner Zhang, and Prime Minister Cao Cao quickly scanned through the images on the projector, makingparisons and analyses in their minds. This is a spiritual spring eye located in Yuntai Mountain in Shanyang of Yu State. Currently, there are 8 small spaceships, and the interior infrastructure isnt visible This one is a spiritual spring eye on Mount Lu in Jiangzhou. Because of the terrain, the mouth of the spring on the mountaintop is rtivelyrge and is thergest among small spiritual spring eyes. Currently, there are 18 spaceships stationed here This one is the Lingwu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye located on the west side of East Sea City. Currently, there are 12 spaceships stationed here As Xue Wenli yed the image and video footage, she supplemented them with additional data. There are a total of 3,600 small spiritual spring eyes worldwide, most of which are located onnd. There arent many in the oceans. The territory of the Huaxia nation is vast, with 240 small spiritual spring eyes within ita substantial number. The group of fourSu Yu, Zhong Feng, Zhang Zhengwei, and Cao Chengxiangbriefed themselves on each spring eye while exchanging observations and discussions. Of course, the final decision was in Su Yus hands. After all, he was the one responsible for executing the n, and moreover, the other three did not know as much about spiritual spring eyes as he did. After two hours of intensive screening, Su Yu finally made a decision: Well choose the Lingwu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye. Its nearby, just an hour and a half drive away. There was one detail that Su Yu didnt mention: based on the images captured by the satellite, themander of Lingwu Mountain Spring Eye didnt seem powerful. Judging by his overflow of spiritual energy, he was only a fourth-order being and should be rtively easy to deal with. I respect your decision. Commissioner Zhang wiped his forehead with a tissue. However, I do have an impudent request. Go ahead. Can you leave us one intact spiritual energy spaceship when you seize the spiritual spring eye? We can use it for research. I cant guarantee that, but Ill try my best. Su Yu stood up. Then Ill take my leave! Itll take me roughly an hour and a half to seize the spiritual spring eye. Lets meet at Lingwu Mountain in three hours! Xue Wenli was taken aback, Are you nning to take action right now? Of course, the key for an army to win is to move swiftly. Su Yus eyes reflected his confidence. And dont forget that even though its only been a few days, the Skuru have already extended their tentacles into the human world. Theter we act, the more perilous it gets! Alright then. Prime Minister Cao Cao also stood from his seat, Ill contact Zhu Guorui immediately, and well head over as soon as possible. I appreciate your help, elders. Su Yu bowed slightly. But he had a few details to emphasize before leaving. Before I go, there are three things I need to mention. Please go ahead. Commissioner Zhang and the others turned to Su Yu. The first thing, Su Yu looked towards Commissioner Zhang, Commissioner, you mentioned that the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye isnt being utilized to its full potential. Is that correct? Yes. Commissioner Zhang sighed, Many people say that the Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye is a gift from the Singer Civilization to all the humans from Blue Star, not just for us. At this critical moment of life and death, the worlds attention is focused on this spring eye. Like starving wolves desiring to devour life-saving food, especially North Yameligazhou, has exerted tremendous pressure on us. That can be handled easily, from now on you just concentrate on fully exploiting the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye, and dont worry about the threat from North Yameligazhou. Su Yuughed. Why? Its simple, Su Yu turned his gaze towards the east, Dont forget the Spirit Power Awakening. On theirnds, it was the ancient Indians who revived! The ancient powerhouses who revived in thends of Huaxia were from the same bloodline, a direct heritage. However, the situation is different in faraway North Yameligazhou. The ancient Indians witnessed the massacre of their people from five million in thete 15th century to 250,000 at the beginning of the 20th century. A decrease of 95%! This was a deep hatred! The priority of their once-powerful revived ancestors wouldnt be the alien invaders, but the local invaders. Disputes and turmoil were inevitable. In his past life, the concerned department made tremendous efforts to quell the uproar there, causing their focus to shift to the alien invaders. Given the magnitude of the turmoil there, it is virtually impossible for them to pose a substantial threat to the development of the spiritual spring eye. Upon Su Yus suggestion, Commissioner Zhang also realized this point, pping his hands, Thats correct, we hadnt thought about this! It seems a special research team needs to be organized to thoroughly investigate this. As for the second thing, Su Yu took out theser pistol from his coat pocket. You need to upgrade the spiritual energy wave detectors at your entrances. Ive been walking around with this gun for half a day, and you didnt detect it? Spotting theser pistol in Su Yus hand, Xue Wenlis pupils contracted. She indeed didnt receive any weapon detection alerts when she led Su Yu into the building earlier! The weapon detection device couldnt be med, because most detectors usually detect metal and energy. However, theser gun does not contain any metal. It was made of a material known as Spiritual Energy Stone. Moreover, theser gun concealed its energy extremely well, which is why it wasnt detected. Commissioner Zhangs expression didnt change much. Su Yu, is this the weapon you confiscated from the Skuru previously? Exactly, but I havent used it even once. Su Yu responded. Commissioner Zhang and Zhong Feng exchanged nces, both reading the astonishment in each others eyes. The department had long suspected that the Skuru at the top of the Mu Yun Group building was killed by Su Yu, but never could find the evidence. Having received Su Yus affirmative response, they three were very surprised, even though they had been prepared. This indicated that the credit Su Yu had earned for humanity was extraordinarily significant! After all, both of the spiritual energy springs were obtained by Su Yu! Su Yu casually threw theser pistol to Zhong Feng, who was in a hurry to catch it. You guys take this and research it. There are plenty in the spring eye. Ill take my leave now! Su Yu flipped his hand, revealing a white stonethe [Hearthstone]. Before he left, he had bound the hearthstone to his home, meaning he could return there at any moment. Hold on, didnt you say there were three things? Xue Wenli stopped him. Oh right, theres one more thing. Su Yu pped his forehead, Next time youe to get me, donte by a police car! I really dont want to be looked at as a criminal by everyone like on the trip just now. Once Su Yu finished speaking, the [Hearthstone] was sessfully activated, and his figure disappeared from the meeting room. Chapter 187: 187, Infiltrate Lingwu Mountain Base_1 Chapter 187: Infiltrate Lingwu Mountain Base_1 Trantor: 549690339 Looking at the disappearing white light of Su Yu, the four people in the conference room exchanged nces. Prime Minister Cao Cao stroked his beard and asked, Is this the instant teleportation spell from Evolution? The Prime Minister also ys Evolution, but he hasnt put much effort into leveling up, he is only a level 12 mage. Yes, Prime Minister. Zhong Feng replied, The item is known as [Hearthstone] in the game, which Nemesis has used before. [Hearthstone] sets a location, and when activated, it teleports the yer to that location. Its said to be the reward for the main storyline. Main storyline? Hes a luckyd, the Prime Ministers tone conveyed a hint of envy. Commissioner Zhangs face became somber as he said, I have a feeling that theres more to Su Yu than meets the eye. Based on the information we have, he actively went to the East Sea University, killed ghosts in the mountain roads near Yunlu Mountain and moreover, he even predicted the North Yameligazhou unrest. Considering all of these, I suspect that he has the ability to foresee the future. Foresee the future? Xue Wenli looked surprised. Zhong Feng, however, nodded thoughtfully, I agree with the Commissioners opinion. From Su Yus series of behaviors, it is apparent that he seems to have an unusual level of control over the future. Besides, without his hint, we could not have known that in-game powers could manifest in the real world. We will analyze this further in the future. Commissioner Zhang pped his hands together, changing the subject: What is urgent right now is to cooperate with Su Yu and secure the Spiritual Spring Eye first. We shall begin our mission immediately! Understood! Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng immediately responded. Prime Minister Cao Cao also waved his hand, and quickly vanished from the conference room. An hour and a halfter, in the woond at the foot of Lingwu Mountain. A figure of a man dressed casually appeared in the woods, holding a branch in his hand, slowly making his way towards the top of the mountain. This figure was indeed Su Yu. Now he was less than three kilometers away from the Giant Skru Base on the top of the mountain. Due to the alien base, the area within ten kilometers of Lingwu Mountain had been sealed off by the relevant departments. However, that was not an obstacle for Su Yu. With the help of the [Invisibility Skill], he easily infiltrated the area. Three kilometers, just a little more to go, Su Yu nodded to himself secretly. He stopped and flipped his hand with a [Level 6 Trial Experience Scroll] appearing in his hand, and began to channel his magic power into it. Ever since the scroll had been gilded, Su Yu upgraded the scroll to epic quality. Thus, during the process of channeling magic power, three [Assigned Professions] magically emerged in his mind. After a bit of consideration, Su Yu picked [Mage] as the first profession and [Assassin] as the second, as these two were the most useful for the current mission. It didnt much matter what the third profession was, Su Yu pondered a bit and eventually chose [Priest]. Five minutes quickly passed by. Su Yus figure flickered and he transformed into a mage dressed in a blue silk robe, holding a staff embedded with a magic crystal the size of an egg. The equipment was granted by the scroll, and the quality was quite good, at least at the [Rare] level. However, because it was the real world, he couldnt see the specific attributes of the equipment and weapons. Su Yu put all distractions out of his mind, activated the [Invisibility Skill] and stealthily made his way towards the top of the mountain. After reaching the top of the mountain, theyout of the Giant Skru Base was clearly etched in Su Yus view. The most noticeable feature was a ck crack in the sky. The crack was nearly a kilometer wide, and inside it was an endless void. This crack was actually a space gate. Once Skru ships entered the crack, they would be instantly teleported back to Skru Star. Simrly, upon entering the corresponding crack on Skru Star, they could instantaneously reach Blue Star. However, this space crack was not a product of Skru technology. This space gate technology held a very high position on the technology tree. If the Skru had the power to master this technology, humans of Blue Star might as well give up; resistance would bepletely meaningless. The space gate technology was provided by a branch of the Singer Civilizationthe Star Cluster civilization, the Holy Silver Federation. By the way, Evolution is also one of the experimental products of the Holy Silver Federation. They provided the conditions for weaker civilizations to attack each other. When the m fights with the snipe, they are the biggest winners behind the scenes. Right below the space crack, naturally, was the Spiritual Spring Eye. However, now, the Skru people had constructed arge building around the Spiritual Spring Eye, nearly 50 meters high, to collect the spiritual energy drawn from within. On both sides of thisrge structure, there were two smaller buildings. The building on the eastern side was called the Psychic energy storage station, which was filled with manyrge psychic energy storage tanks. Seventy percent of the energy from the spring flowed into these tanks through pipes. Once the energy umted in these tanks reached a certain amount, the Skru people would transport them back to Skru Star using their space ships. The remaining Thirty percent would be piped to the Monster Manufacturing Factory located to the east of the buildings. Here, the Skru people created arge number of ghosts and Godzi-like creatures, strategically deploying them to attack Blue Star humans, causing panic in the human world and weakening their power. These were the three central buildings. On the outer perimeter of these three buildings were twelve brown-grey spacecrafts, each nearly 90 meters long and about 30 meters wide, forming a circle enclosing and protecting the three buildings. Further outside the spacecraft was a massive, grey, uneven energy shield stretching skywards, enveloping the entirety of the base. This was the full view of the Giant Skru Base. Su Yu was very familiar with the Giant Skru Base as he had conducted many infiltration missions here in his previous life. With the help of the [Mimicry Skill] and fluent Skrunguage, in his previous life, he had even won the hearts of many Skru girls Cough cough, back to the topic. Su Yu didnt waste any time and unleashed the [Invisibility Skill]. Boosted by the [Invisibility Skill], he quickly approached the grey energy shield. Upon reaching the shield, he pressed his hand against it and activated the skill [Energy Assimtion]. Through [Energy Assimtion], Su Yu adjusted the magical frequency oscitions of his body to match the energy shield. Once the adjustment wasplete, he swiftly entered the shield without causing a single ripple. Su Yu quickly arrived at the space ship area, found a concealed corner in the zone, and used the scroll to switch to the assassin ss. Although the [Invisibility Skill] of a mage had excellent effects, it consumed a lot of mana and couldntst for a long time. On the other hand, the effectiveness of the [Stealth Skill] of the assassin was simr but consumed hardly anything. Moreover, in [Stealth] mode, he could use the [Speed Burst] skill to increase his movement speed. The assassin was the best profession for infiltration and exploration, and this was also the reason why Su Yu chose the assassin profession at the start. Thus, a Level 6 high-ranking assassin roamed freely and recklessly began moving all around the base. The Skru living inside the base were stillpletely unaware that their untold misery was about to arrive soon! Chapter 188: 188, [Mind Control] _1 Chapter 188: [Mind Control] _1 Trantor: 549690339 Ten minutester, in the main cockpit of the spaceship on the eastern edge of the Skuru fleet. There are two Skuru pilots, a male and a female, both with green skin, in the main cockpit. Their usual job is to execute spaceship dispatch orders and transport Psychic Energy Storage Tanks back to the Skru Star. But theres nothing for them to do right now. The task of transporting the energy storage tanks wont continue until tomorrow. So, the two pilots have decided to use the 3D simtion engine in the cockpit to y one of the most popr card games on their. I summon [Magician of the Stars, Laina], attack 2400, defense 1200, end turn, the male Skuru pilot ys a card. I summon [Green Sprite], attack 800, defense 300, end turn, The female Skuru pilot also ys a card. ??? Why do you have such a weak-ass card in your hand? The male Skuru pilot eximed with a confused look on his face. However, he immediately gave an order: Magician of the Stars, Laina, attack! [Ster Surge]! On the 3D simtion engine, arge amount of starlight gathers in the magician Lainas hand. The torrent of starlight spurts out and urately hits the Green Sprite. Ouch~ A cute shout came from the Green Sprite as it was ripped to shreds. The game panel of the female Skuru pilot also cleared zero. Hehe, I won! The male Skuru pilot said with a contemptuous look: Resha, youre still as fragile as ever. No wonder Xinkonia always suppresses you p! A crisp p echoed in the room. The Skuru pilot named Resha suddenly res up, her palm made a whooshing noise as it cut through the air, and she fiercely pped the male pilot right in front of her. What? Cant handle the truth? The male Skuru pilot covered his green but reddening left cheek: Youre really just trashpared to Xinkonia! p! Another p, this time, itnded hard on the right cheek of the male Skuru pilot. But he was not angry at all. On the contrary, he looked surprised: Your level is just too poor, Ive never seen someone as terrible as p! He received another resounding p. Actually, this teasing the male, pping the female pattern is a small measure of flirting among Skurus. Resha swings her hand and ps him twice. This is actually her hinting that they can do some age-restricted things tonight, so not only was the male Skuru pilot not angry, but he was also overjoyed! p! He took a fourth p. The male Skuru pilot appeared unbothered and joyfully epted: My dear, have you hit enough, or should we just now p! The fifth p. This p was really forceful, and it directly knocked him down to the ground. The male Skuru pilot realized something was wrong! Normally, a female would stop after two ps, three ps meant she was quite wild and unrestrained, why wont this one stop? Could there be a problem? But by the time he realized it, it was already toote. p! p! p! A series of continuous ps. Resha pped him heavily, over and over again, until he fainted. After the male Skuru pilot fell unconscious, Resha finally stopped. She panted heavily for a while. Then she kneeled down on one knee, facing the direction of the cockpit door: Master, its taken care of. You did well, Resha. A young man in a white priests robees in, pushing the door, smiling. This young man is, of course, Su Yu. Just now, when Resha went to the bathroom, he used the signature priest skill [Mind Control] topletely control Resha, who was only a second-order individual. Thanks to the [Mind Control] data, he couldmand Resha to do anything, including knocking out the male Skuru pilot in the same room. The little girl did very well, raise your head, Su Yu said with a smile. Hmm. Resha quickly ran to Su Yus side, knelt down and raised her head. Su Yu ced his left hand on her forehead, and his signature Priest skill [Mental Theft] activated. All the things that Resha had done in thest three days were transmitted to Su Yus mind in the form of a data flow through his palm. Su Yu was organizing the iing information andmanded at the same time: Resha, open the control panel. Understood. Resha stood up and obediently ran to the central control desk of the spaceship, opened the operation panel, and sessfully logged in after verifying her identity. First, turn off the firewall, and execute Green Shade Order. Understood. Next, choose Shinovis attack, open file for Denno n. Got it. Then open the Psychic Energy Storage Tank allocation library in the file, and switch it with the tine-3 missileuncher. Master, I dont have sufficient authority. Force switch! Clear. Su Yu wasmanding Reshas operation. Finally, he gave her thest order: Take this male Skuru to the hibernation cabin for rest. Goodnight, little girl. No problem, Master. Resha picked up the unconscious male Skuru pilot and briskly walked out of the cockpit. Instead of leaving the cockpit, Su Yu stayed there, browsing through some data that he was interested in on the operational panel of the control desk. He waited for 3 minutes, until he sensed that Resha had entered the hibernation cabin, Su Yu then changed into the [Assassin] ss and activated the stealth skill to leave the cockpit. For the next half an hour, Su Yu repeated the same steps. He controlled arge number of Skuru pilots to execute the operation he needed. 40 minutester, the Psychic Energy Storage Station, one of the three core buildings. Su Yu ced his hand on the shoulder of a Skuru femalemander,pletely manipting her thoughts. This Skuru femalemander was the deputymander-in-chief of the fleet, a third-order powerhouse. Su Yu found it strenuous to manipte her remotely, controlling her was easier with his hand on her shoulder. The femalemanders fingers rapidly moved, typing out a series of rapidmands on the virtual operating tform in front of her. Finally, she knelt respectfully to Su Yu and said, Master, all the storage tanks on the next returning spaceship have been reced with tine-3 missiles, to a total of 30. Good! Set the missile explosion time to 15 minutes from now, and nowunch the spaceship! Understood! The femalemander activated her operating authority, then heavily hit the Launch button. Boom! The spaceship that was docked in the Psychic Energy Storage Station activated its engines, carrying the 30 reced tine-3 missiles, it flew towards the direction of the space cracks. 13 minutester, the spaceship safely passed through the space cracks, returning to its mother star C the Skru Star. But at the same time, the Skurumander at the Spiritual Spring Eye on Lingwu Mountain noticed a wave of unease: Wait! Is something wrong? The spaceship is supposed to return at noon, right? Its not even noon yet, why is it returning early? Chapter 189: 189, Nuclear Leveling Floating Island_1 Chapter 189: Nuclear Leveling Floating Ind_1 Trantor: 549690339 Skru Star. The homeward-bound transport ship crossed the space rift, trailzing long mes, flying towards a colossal floating ind in mid-air. This aerial floating ind is an artificial tform temporarily constructed by the Skru federation for the war, approximately covering an area of 50 square kilometers, with a distance of about 1500 meters from the ground. This floating ind is a transit point for Skru people to ce their psychic energy storage tanks, also thergest storage base for energy tanks. As for why to construct the floating ind here, the reason is straightforward, its because all the space rifts on Skru Star converge here. Skru Star is connected to Blue Star through more than 3700 space cracks. These 3700 space cracks are evenly distributed across Blue Star but are concentrated in one area on Skru Star. Surrounding the floating ind, more than 3700 space rifts densely encircle it. Every twenty or thirty seconds, a ship would drill out of the space rift, inserting full energy cans into the transit station on the floating ind. The whole system has operated well in recent days, but today there seems to be a slight problem: A transport ship flew out from the crack at Lingwu Mountain, but this was not the scheduled return time, it was half an hour ahead of the nned time. The fleetsmand center on the floating ind immediately sent a message to the ship: Calling the driver of Transport Ship T-036, why have you returned early? Why have you returned early? But after waiting for half a minute, they didnt receive any response. Again they sent a message: Calling the driver of Transport Ship T-036, why have you returned early? Why have you returned early? But again they didnt receive any response. The pilot of the T-036 ship had been severely knocked out by Su Yus [Psychic st] before leaving Blue Star. The ship was flying purely on autopilot towards the floating ind. Themand center noticed something was wrong and hastily issued an interception order. Calling Attack Ships A-363, A-364, intercept Transport Ship T-036, be careful . But their orders were only halfway through when Skru people at themand center saw a dazzling firelight brighten up outside the window. Then, themand center was gone. Boom! In a fierce explosion, themand center was instantaneously leveled. . The tine-3 type missile is thetest spiritual energy missile developed by the Skru people, not very powerful, roughly equivalent to the tactical nuclear missiles on Blue Star, with an equivalent explosion of about 10,000 tons (approximately the power equivalent of 10,000 tons of TNT explosion). The power of 30 such missiles exploding simultaneously in the sky is not too formidable. However, the location of their explosion was extremely unfortunate. After leaving the crack in space, the ship was only a few kilometers away from the floating ind. After a minute of flight, it was practically glued to the floating ind. On the ind, there were loads of psychic energy cans, this energy was highly purepressed energy. So, these 30 missiles exploded at the same time was like throwing a burning matchstick on a pile of dry hay. Boom! A massive explosion triggered a chain reaction in the psychic energy cans, soon, a beautiful mushroom cloud erupted above the floating ind. The mushroom cloud soared into the sky, and all the facilities on the ind were thoroughly destroyed by the explosion in a short span of time. Directly beneath the floating indy a giant Skru city C Treyna. Treyna is one of the most important central cities among Skru Federation. That day, all the Skru walkers on the road noticed a dazzling lighting from above their heads, much brighter than the midday sun! Shielding their eyes and looking up at the sky, they were horrified to discover: The psychic energy array painted underneath the floating ind in the sky hadpletely failed, and the floating ind was uncontrobly falling from the sky! Moreover, this colossal object was getting nearer and nearer to them! The scene shifts back to the Spiritual Spring Eye of Lingwu Mountain on Earth. Not long after the floating ind was leveled, the space cracks above the spring eye began to flicker intensely, spewing out arge amount of dust and debris mixed with spiritual energy. Themander of the Skru fleet noticed the anomalies in the sky and looked up towards the space cracks. Seeing the state of the space crack, he was baffled. Whats wrong? Why is the spiritual energy leaking out? Just then, hisdy secretary came to him with a folder, Commander, the Blue Star humans are behaving strangely. What kind of behaviour? Themander shifted his gaze to his secretary. Arge number of armed helicopters are heading our way, they are less than ten kilometers away from us. Armed helicopters? Themander was taken aback. However, he quickly replied, Keep monitoring and figure out their intentions. Understood, Commander. But at this moment, a faint voice came through the air beside them, I think, you wont have to. Whos there?! The Skrumander was startled, instinctively reaching for the energy gun at his waist. But his hand had barely moved. Baa~ Su Yus [Transform into Sheep] skill was deployed, turning the Skrumander into a cute little sheep. Then Su Yu directly cast the [mestrike Skill], a truck-sized fireball flew from Su Yus hand,nding solidly on the sheep. How could this Skrumander, who was only a fourth-rank, withstand the damage inflicted by Su Yu, a sixth-rank power? Boom! With a resounding explosion, arge crater was blown into the ce where the Skrumander had stood; he and his secretary were vaporized in the explosion. A fourth-rankmander, resolved with such ease. At the same time, rms were ring throughout the entire Skru base! Skru soldiers scattered throughout the base, especially the high-ranking officers, quickly received the news of themanders death and information about the intruder. Warning! Warning! Major intrusion detected within the base! The invaders are Blue Star Humans, estimating their strength preliminary assessment as a sixth-rank power. Be on guard. Warning! Warning! Major intrusion detected within the base The rm kept ringing non-stop, all the Skrus were dumbfounded! How could there be a sixth-rank power among Blue Star Humans?! ording to the data they collected before the war, the spiritual energy of the Blue Star was long exhausted, the strongest was at most only at the peak of the fourth rank, and their numbers were extremely scarce. Even if the Blue Star humans had already essed the spring eye of Yunlu Mountain, it would still be impossible to recover to the sixth rank within a month or two. Who exactly is this sixth-rank Blue Star human invader?! But they didnt dare to think too much. Their base could handle a fifth-rank, but a sixth-rank was pretty much impossible. So from the moment they received the rm, all the Skru could think about was one thing C escape! So, all the Skrus in the base quickly ran towards the various spaceships around the base, preparing to escape via the ships. But when they boarded the spaceship, they were surprised to find that things were much worse than they thought. All the pilots of the spaceship, for some reason, had disappeared! Without the pilots or themanders operation authority, they couldnt start the spaceship at all. The pilots had disappeared, and themander had fallen. What should they do? Chapter 190: 190, Eighth Order War Supervisor_1 Chapter 190: Eighth Order War Supervisor_1 Trantor: 549690339 Find out where those pilots went, now! A Skuru officer on board one of the ships barked out in frustration. Understood. Nearby Skuru soldiers immediately set out to investigate. The Skuru officer sprung into action as well, forcibly essing the spaceships control panel to search for information about the pilots using his own authority. Soon, the results were in. Hibernation cabins? They went to the hibernation cabins voluntarily to apply for hibernation?! The Skuru officer was utterly incredulous. The hibernation cabin set up in the spacecraft was intended forrge animals and higher-rank Skuru warriors, and when used properly, could save a significant amount of spiritual energy. How could these two pilots, both at most second rank, possibly need the hibernation cabins? And why was their application to enter the hibernation cabins immediately approved? The Skuru officer didnt understand and hurriedly contacted officers from other spaceships. Aftermunicating with other ships, his heart instantly sank. The pilots of other spaceships had all gone to the hibernation cabins too! There was not a single one left outside. What on earth was going on? Could it have been the work of that Blue Star Human? The Skuru officer was trembling all over. Su Yu suspended himself confidently in mid-air. The Skuru people were very precise in delegating their various authorities. Only the two pilots and the fleetsmander and deputymander had the authority to directly operate the spaceship. Any other Skuru wanting to navigate the ship could forget about it without at least half an hour ofplex verification and approval. So, Su Yu was not worried about them escaping at all. Looking down at the chaotic base below, Su Yu cleared his throat lightly and announced in the Skurumonnguage: All Skuru, listen up, you are surrounded by me! Now, drop your weapons, raise your hands and exit the spaceship, and I will spare your lives. Defy me and face the consequences! With the amplification of magical power, his voice reverberated throughout the entire base. Su Yu chose to entice them to surrender rather than kill them all, mainly because he feared they would enact a scorched earth policy, destroying the equipment inside the spaceships in the process. Plus, living prisoners always have more value than dead bodies. They could be used as bargaining chips in future negotiations. ??? How does the Blue Star Human master speak our Skurunguage? Perhaps its some form of mimicry technique. Thats indeed a powerful existence of Sixth Rank. Hearing Su Yus words, many Skuru with green faces paled significantly. Sixth Rank powerhouses were notmon, the Skuru race only had about fifty of them, known as the Fifty Saints. Each of the Fifty Saints was an unbeatable presence. Therefore, they could not muster any thought of resistance against Su Yu, a Sixth Rank powerhouse. Moreover, they could not activate the spaceships in such a short period of time. It was impossible for them to leave the Blue Star before Su Yu managed to kill them With that thought, several Skuru officers clenched their teeth, tossed their weapons to the ground, pushed open the spaceship doors and came out with their hands raised high, We surrender! Please dont kill us, Sir! Seeing someone take the lead, others swiftly followed suit. The Skuru one after the other raised their hands and exited their respective spaceships. Of course, some Skuru aboard certain ships were still hesitating. Su Yu smiled, switched to the [Assassin] profession and charged into one of the ships, killing everyone in sight. By the time he returned to the sky with his blood-stained dagger after ughtering the rebels on that spaceship, only 25 seconds had passed. Ill warn you onest time, surrender now and drop your weapons, or face only one oue C death! the ice-cold voice of Suyu echoed throughout the base. The Skrulls below looked at the bloody dagger in Suyus hand, trembling and hardly daring to breathe, they obediently chose to surrender. Three more minutes passed, and two figures, one yellow and one ck, flew rapidly from the horizon on their flying swords. Seeing these two figures, Suyu breathed a sigh of relief. The transformation duration from his scroll would onlyst for four more minutes. If these two didnt show up, he would probably have made a shameful escape. The two arrived, one of them was Prime Minister Cao Cao, dressed in a ck robe. The other, a man with a square face dressed in a yellow robe was Zhu Guorui. Suyu, were here! Prime Minister Cao Cao greeted Suyu from a distance. I greet the two seniors! Suyu paid his respects to them. Especially towards Zhu Guorui, Suyu held utmost respect. Zhu Guorui was a pivotal figure in the war against the Skrulls in his previous life, and he was the only emperor in history born from a peasant background, hence Suyu had a very good impression of him. Senior, most of the Skrulls have surrendered and discarded their weapons. Only a few are still resisting. However, I have killed all those above the third rank among them. Ill leave the rest to you. Rest assured! We can handle these low-level soldiers. Prime Minister Cao Caoughed, releasing a jade-green ring which transformed into a green rope in the air. The green rope quickly extended in the wind, finally forming a rope hundreds of meters long, effectively tying up the surrendering Skrulls below. Zhu Guorui also made his move. He pulled out a golden scroll from his sleeve that looked like a sacred decree. The scroll opened and released dazzling golden light. The Skrulls who were not bound by the rope were immobilized under the golden light. Just one face-off and nearly a hundred Skrulls were under their control. Suyu nced at his scroll. The scrolls duration only had 3 minutes and 48 seconds left. In thesest few minutes, he had one more task toplete. Suyu abruptly soared into the sky, over a hundred meters high, and addressed those around him, Mr. Supervisor, we humans have taken this Spiritual Spring Eye. Can we close the space cracks now? Thest thing Suyu had to do was close the space cracks. Otherwise, the Skrulls would eventually invade again as long as the cracks exist, making taking control here entirely meaningless. Nearly as soon as he finished speaking, a blue figure emerged fifty meters in front of him. This was a blue-skinned humanoid creature dressed in a light white golden-edged robe. He resembled a human in facial features, but he had five long tentacles at his chin, his appearance was simr to the Draenei race from the game World of Warcraft. He was a supervisor from the Singer Civilization. However, he wasnt the previously mentioned Game Supervisor, but the War Supervisor. The Game Supervisor of the Singer Civilization was a sixth-order being; this War Supervisor in front of him was a high eighth-order being! All warfare between civilizations was conducted under his supervision. He had the authority to punish any cheating behavior. The Skrulls previous attempt to cheat was stopped by his destructive beam, annihting the entire Skrull fleet. Im honored to meet you, Mr. Supervisor, Suyu greeted him with a bow. Human, you have done well! The War Supervisor nodded with a smile, ording to the current situation, you indeed have taken the Spiritual Spring Eye. ording to the rules of the game, I will help you close the space cracks. After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand towards the sky. A light blue beam emitted from his hand, striking the space crack. The scale of the space crack rapidly shrank. One minuteter, just like how a chalk drawing is erased by a duster, the space crackpletely disappeared, the sky was clear again. Chapter 191: 191, Olive Branch of Singer Civilization_1 Chapter 191: Olive Branch of Singer Civilization_1 Trantor: 549690339 After erasing the spatial cracks, the war monitoring envoy of the Singer Civilization didnt leave. Instead, he curiously looked at Su Yu, Human, your name is Su Yu, correct? Oh? You know my name? Su Yu was quite surprised. Indeed. The envoy waved his hand gently, and a semi-transparent [Sound Barrier] instantly appeared, enclosing both of them within. In fact, I had noticed you from the time you took your gaming helmet to the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain. Human, you have the ability to see into the future, correct? Su Yus eyelid twitched. But he admitted it immediately, Yes, I can indeed see some of the events of the future. Very good! The envoy nodded, took out a thick brown leather-bound book, and flipped through it. Quickly, he tore off a brown page from the book. With a gentle flick of his fingers, the page flew towards Su Yu and stopped in mid-air in front of him. This is an invitation from our Holy Silver Federation Holy Silver Court of Secrets. Our Court iscking talented students in the prophecy department. After the war between Blue Star and Skru Star ends, we wee you toe and study in our Court, regardless of who wins in the end. Holy Silver Court of Secrets? Su Yu stroked his chin, his expression uncertain. It seemed that this war monitoring envoy was not only supervising the war between these two minor civilizations but would also find promising individuals from the war and cultivate them. However, Su Yus knowledge in his past life didnt include the Holy Silver Federation, so he knew nothing about it. He also didnt know how to make a decision. Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency. I will consider it as a priority once the war ends, Su Yu took the page. Then, until we meet again, human. I hope you survive the war. The envoys finger twitched slightly and a purple glow quickly approached Su Yu, entering his body swiftly. Su Yus face changed slightly. But the envoys words had already reached his ears: Do not be surprised, this is a [Watcher Beacon]. It does not possess any surveince capability. Instead, you can use magic to activate the beacon in a desperate situation. This beacon can save your life. Su Yu thought about it, if the envoy truly wanted to monitor him, he probably wouldnt need a surveince beacon. Thank you, Your Excellency. Youre wee. The envoy finished speaking, and his figure disappeared in ce, like a spatial copse. By now, the duration of the scroll ended, and Su Yu free-fell towards the ground. However, he wasnt worried. When he was only five meters above the ground, Su Yu released the [sh Skill]. A sh of white light and Su Yu was standing steadily on the ground. But his expression was somewhatplex. The Holy Silver Federation, where the envoy was from, extended an olive branch to him,pletely catching Su Yu by surprise. Moreover, Su Yu did not want to join the Holy Silver Federation, because they were the real masterminds behind this war. The Holy Silver Federation provided the Skru people with the Star Gate technology, which resulted in the invasion of Blue Star. Furthermore, the majority of the spiritual energy of the Blue Star was stolen by the Holy Silver Federation. They were essentially enemies. However, Su Yu didnt feel like opposing the Holy Silver Federation because they were too powerful! If the difference in strength between Blue Star and Skru Star is akin to the difference between a zebra and an elephant, then, the difference between Blue Star and the Holy Silver Federation is simr to the difference between a zebra and a modern city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants. Even if they developed for one or two thousand more years, they might not necessarily win. Forget it, lets take it one step at a time! Su Yu sighed quietly in his heart. Theres no use thinking about it now. Once he bes stronger in the future, he can worry about these matters then. By the time Su Yunded, hundreds of armed helicopters from the relevant departments had sessfully arrived. Each soldier, with stern faces, was strictly executing their duties, loading the Skru prisoners onto the helicopters and quickly upying the entire base. Zhong Feng was waiting for Su Yu right below him all this time. After Su Yunded, he said solemnly, Thank you, Nemesis, for taking this Spiritual Spring Eye. On behalf of the relevant departments, I express our gratitude! Zhong Feng certainly saw the conversation between Su Yu and the Singer Civilizations monitoring envoy just now, but he didnt ask what the conversation was about. If Su Yu wanted to talk, he would certainly talk. However, Su Yu had no intention of telling Zhong Feng about the content of the conversation. Telling them would only cause unnecessary worry. It is my duty. After all, I was the one who epted the main storyline. Since I epted it, I have the responsibility to do so. Su Yu waved his hand, Then Ill hand it over to you here. Im going to find a Psychic Energy Storage Tank to absorb spiritual energy and break through to the second stage. Alright, be careful. The incident at the Spiritual Spring of Lingwu Mountain came to a temporary halt for now. But as Su Yu was heading to the Psychic Energy Storage Station to break through the realm by absorbing spiritual energy, a significant event urred on the distant Skru Star. In a special online meeting room on the Skru Star, the heads of the five major powers of the Skru Federation were holding an emergency video conference. Why was there a major explosion on the Floating Ind above Treyna? I need an exnation! One of the leaders said sternly. This leader was the emperor of the Raging Sun Empire. As a member of a royal family, his skin was not purely green like that of other Skru people, but was red within the green, like a half-ripe apple. Manina XIII, on what grounds do you question me like an underling? Do you think our Lun Kete Alliance is easy to bully? Another Skru retorted coldly. This Skru was the chairman of the Lun Kete Alliance. The city of Treyna, where the incident urred, was the administrative center of the Lun Kete Alliance. Alright, alright, both of you, calm down. Seeing the two most powerful figures on the shing, the heads of the other three slightly weaker factions immediately tried to mediate, We are all deeply saddened by this event. What we need to do now is to first find out the cause of the incident. Thats right! Besides, Lord Sidim has already used his mighty power to stop the falling Floating Ind. Treyna City did not suffer any serious damage. In such a situation, we should be united, instead of creating internal conflicts Hmph! Manina XIII snorted and stopped talking. He had always taken issue with the Singer Civilization opening the Star Gate on the territory of the Lun Kete Alliance. In his opinion, the rulers of the Lun Kete Alliance were a group of weak capitalists who would onlypromise. They were just paper tigers in terms of military strength. Now look, something has gone wrong in just a few days. They really are useless! The feelings of the chairman of the Lun Kete Alliance were also not well. The explosion of the Floating Ind was a big upsetting event and now he was being attacked by a colleague. Moreover, the key issue was that there were indeed many major oversights in this major incident. They were at fault and could only swallow their pride. After our investigation, the fundamental cause of this major incident was that a sixth-stage human from Blue Star joined the battle. The chairman didnt bother with small talk and directly threw out the conclusion. Chapter 192: 192, Return to the game, wonder completed_1 Chapter 192: Return to the game, wonderpleted_1 Trantor: 549690339 A sixth-level powerhouse?! one of the Skru heads expressed in shock: ording to the data provided by the Holy Silver Federation, isnt the strongest on the Blue Star only at the fourth-level peak? I dont know why either. Im still in furthermunication with the Holy Silver Federation. In the video conference view, the Chairman of the Lun Kete Federation shook his head continuously. Moreover, ording to the known intelligence, this sixth-level powerhouse is skilled in Mind Control. He used mind control to forcibly manipte the pilots andmanders of the Lingwu Mountain fleet, using their privileges to swap the tine-3 type missile and the Psychic Energy Storage Tank positions. The transport ships wrongfully took back the missile, eventually causing this major ident on the Floating Ind. The Chairman disclosed all the information gathered from the current investigation. Upon hearing his description, the other Skru heads all frowned. A sixth-level powerhouse capable of mind control? No wonder. They were confident in their own technological strength, the Blue Star humans could not breach theirwork from the outside. But, theycked precaution against insiders. Mind control turned all the Skru troops at one base into insiders. Added to the fact that the Floating Ind had been constructed less than a month ago and their defensive facilities were notpletely perfected, it allowed the Blue Star humans to exploit theck of internal defense. Your Excellency Cass, we need to learn from this incident and improve our internal defenses, one of the heads said. I understand. The Chairman nodded: I will report the follow-up results of the ident investigation to you allter. Starting tonight, I will undermine the permissions of the expeditionary force on various aspects, consolidate our internal defense work, to prevent such incidents from happening again! The Emperor of Raging Sun Empire, Manina XIII, coldly said: I hope you can do as you say. If simr incidents happen again, I may have to consider voting for a change in themander of the expeditionary force. After saying that, the video of Manina XIII went dark; he had clearly left the video conference room. The heads of the other three major forces were somewhat helpless, shared a fewforting words before also leaving the video conference room one after the other. Thus ended an unsatisfactory exchange among the heads in Skru Star. The scene shifts back to Blue Star. At two in the afternoon, in Su Yus home in East Sea City. A sh of white light and Su Yu appeared in the living room. Finally back! With a starving tiger pouncing on food move, Su Yu flopped onto the soft sofa in the living room. During the past two hours, he was absorbing spiritual energy at the Psychic Energy Storage Station. Through absorbing spiritual energy, he broke through his realm, reaching level 30 and bing a second-level mage! After breaking through, he didnt leave but continued to absorb spiritual energy until his body reached a threshold and he couldnt absorb any more. After the absorption of spiritual energy, Su Yu leveled up again, reaching level 31. The absorbed energy needs to be digested. Afterpletely digesting and absorbing it, he can engage in the next spiritual energy absorption. After resting on the sofa for a while, Su Yu, dragging his tired body, took a shower and returned to the bed to continue ying the game. After all, he hadnt been in the game for most of the day. If he didnt log in now, hed waste his twelve hours of ytime for the day. Lying in bed, touching the cold, empty bed, Su Yu suddenly felt something was missing. Hmm, maybe I should get a girl or a kitten to keep my bed warm Hmm, a kitten would be better. If its disobedient, it could warm up my stomach, unlike a woman. While daydreaming, Su Yus consciousness returned to the game world. The tavern at Orleans City [House of Warm Wind]. A sh of white light and Su Yu appeared in the tavern. Boss, heat up two bowls of wine, and get a te of fennel beans. Alright! The taverns boss saw his regr customer and rushed to the kitchen right away. Beep! Beep! At this point, Su Yu received two private messages. Upon opening the private chat interface, a personal message came from Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Boss Ke, how did you suddenly level up to 31? Isnt the version limit 29 levels? d(?`??)?? Su Yu considered it and replied, Oh, I killed quite a few aliens in real life, and then I leveled up. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Are you kidding me? Killing aliens? Why not im the game was made by aliens too? He resisted the urge to retort and replied, You better have a look at the forum, its going nuts right now! Sure. Su Yu opened the official built-in game forum. In the forum, screenshots of his level were flying around, with posts discussing the matter everywhere. yers looking at the screenshots were all in the discussion: Doesnt the official website explicitly state that the versions level limit is 29? Whats the deal with this level 31? Im doomed! I was thinking of catching up to Boss Ke in terms of leveling in theter version. Didnt expect reality to p me in the face so hard! Could it be a special hidden task that allows one to break through the level cap? Even a hidden task cant be like this! Official exnation, please! The yers discussion was heating up, and many were continuously @ing him, asking for his exnation. Su Yu, being honest, copied what he had just exined to Red-Eyed ck Dragon and posted it on the forum. Upon seeing Su Yus exnation about the aliens, the entire forum fell silent: Killing aliens? Have you been watching too many American movies? Psychopath! Even if you really killed aliens, what does it have to do with leveling up in the game? Even if you dont want to speak up, dont use such an excuse to shirk us! Alright, I believe it. Im going to kill some aliens right now. The yers all replied indicating their disbelief, and Su Yus post quickly reached thousands of replies. However, Su Yu didnt mind too much. After browsing for a while, he closed the official forum and opened the second private message. This message was from his secretary, Swift: Chairman, the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] will bepleted in half an hour. Would you like toe back and have a look? Its beingpleted? Im returning immediately. Su Yu took a [Hearthstone] from his backpack and activated it. With a sh of white light, his figure vanished from the tavern. Three minutester, the tavern owner enthusiastically brought out a jar of wine and some crispy anise beans: Here is your beer and anise Eh, where did the customer go? The tavern owner stood dumbfounded, staring nkly at the empty counter. Not too long after, Su Yu rode Dima to the Wondend parcel on the east side of Aphis vige. The area around the Prayer Hall was crowded like a major attraction during Golden Week. Many yers stood or sat around. Some were chatting loudly with friends, some were taking pictures, and there were even some barbecuing. In the center of the Wondend parcel, the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] was about to bepleted, with the progress bar above the building showing [99%]. The [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] resembled the real-life Prayer Hall. It was also a three-story circr temple, built on a three-tiered Han Baiyu marble tform surrounded by white stone railings. However, the color and mural paintings of the building were different. This Prayer Hall bears a bit more of the Pandamens style, with more yellow and green, making it less solemn and more vibrant. Since the Prayer Hall was about to bepleted, many yers held up their cameras, ready to capture the moment. Finally, after about ten minutes, the [99%] progress bar jumped to [100%]. The base of the entire temple burst into a golden light, which circled up the eaves and finally shot up into the sky. Ding! The wonder building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] has beenpleted! Chapter 193: 193, Throwing Coins (1/5 Additional for First Order)_1 Chapter 193: Throwing Coins (1/5 Additional for First Order)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon thepletion of the [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests], a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the onlooking crowd! Everyone was rushing towards the Prayer Hall, wanting to get a closer look at this marvel of architecture. Su Yu also followed the crowd in. Upon stepping on the steps made of Han Baiyu, he received a game prompt: Ding, detected that your territory has the building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] and the statue [Yulon]. Do you want to merge them? Yes. No. Su Yu, without a second thought, selected Yes. After making the selection, the [Yulon] statue in front of the [Town Hall] suddenly burst into intense vibrations. With a rumble, the statue shattered into countless tiny fragments. There were a few yers scattered around the za. Under their surprised gazes, the statues fragments took to the wind, transforming into a green mist and flying towards the Prayer Hall in the east. Whats happening? one yer asked, swallowing hard. Dont know, lets follow it and see! another yer responded. Alright. The few yers on the square were attracted by the fragments, and they summoned their mounts to chase the green mist. The green mist seemed to be drawn by some mysterious force. After reaching the square of the Prayer Hall, the green mist hovered for a while before it gathered in the center of the square to form a new statue. The yers marveled at this scene, crowding around, making the statue surrounded and imprable. Su Yu leaned against the railing of the Han Baiyu steps, silently watching the statue. After about 5 minutes of condensing, the [Yulon] statue was sessfully recreated! The recreated statue was almost identical to the original one. At the same time, Ding, Building [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] and sculpture [Yulon] sessfully merged, upgraded to [Jade YulonTemple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests]. You can click [Building Details] to view the detailed attributes. When Su Yu clicked [Building Details], the attributes of the building were disyed right in front of him. [Jade YulonTemple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] Wonder Building Function: By sacrificing items, get [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff attribute. Current attribute enhancements: Poption production efficiency +100%; Attraction to vagrants +100%; Technology research speed +100%; Marvel addition +0%. (You can sacrifice items at the [Altar] in the center of the Prayer Hall to get this bonus.) There are a total of two ces where items can be sacrificed in the entire Wonder Building. One is in front of the Jade Yulon statue; the other is in the center of the Prayer Hall. Having already made offerings to the Yulon statue this morning and now is under a full buff, Su Yu walked towards the center of the Prayer Hall. The Prayer Hall was packed with people, bustling with activity. Su Yu relied on his [Invisibility Tech] to ignore collision volume, barely squeezing his way to the side of the [Altar]. Upon seeing Su Yus figure, the nearby yers greeted him: Hello, Boss Ke! Boss Ke, what brings you here? Boss Ke, how do you feel about thepletion of the Wonder Building? Nothing much, just quite happy. Su Yu casually responded, while touching the altar. The altar was about 1 meter high, with a red wood base. The pole was engraved with very exquisite patterns. Above the base was a white jade te with a diameter of about 3 meters. As Su Yu pressed his hand on the jade te, the attributes of the altar appeared before his eyes. [Prayer Halls Altar] Todays sacrificial items: [Spiritual Energy Coins] Number of offerings made: 0 Marvel addition: 0% The items that can be offered to the altar change every day. Sometimes monster materials are needed, sometimes equipment is needed, sometimes potions are needed A wide array of items. Todays randomly selected sacrificial item was [Spiritual Energy Coins]. If it was another item, Su Yu would have had to go through some trouble, but if its Spiritual Energy Coins, wouldnt it be easy for him to just toss them in? Su Yu reached into his backpack, and with a grand wave, ten thousand manifested spiritual energy coins were scattered into the jade te. Ting, ting, dang, dang! The spiritual energy coins made a crisp sound as they collided with the jade te. Immediately after, the coins melted rapidly, fully merging into the jade te. Of course, Su Yus actions attracted the attention of the surrounding yers, and they began discussing. What is Boss Ke doing? Dont you see? Hes throwing coins! Who the hell are you cursing at? I am not cursing you; he really is scattering coins! You want to curse again?! Am I wrong? Isnt he scattering coins? Can you guys stop making puns and exin how Boss Ke is so rich? Yeah, there are so many spiritual energy coins! Su Yu ignored the yers discussions. As ten thousand spiritual energy coins were scattered, the attributes of the sacrificial altar changed. [The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests sacrificial altar] Todays sacrificial offerings: [Spiritual Energy Coins] Current number of offerings: 10000 Marvel Addition: 5.3% Seems pretty good. Su Yu nodded to himself, ording to this ratio, offering 190 thousand spiritual energy coins can achieve a 100% Marvel Addition, doubling the number of refugees! Su Yu was familiar with the number 190,000. The daily value of the resources needed to be offered to the [Yulon Statue] was about 190,000. Which meant, the function of the Prayer Hall was: to spend double the amount of money every day, double the bonus of the [Yulon Statue], thats quite efficient! Without further consideration, Su Yu continued to manifest spiritual energy coins and scatter them generously into the jade te. As expected, after scattering for the 19th time, the value of the [Marvel Addition] on the panel increased to 100%. The three main additions of refugees, technology, and work efficiency were all doubled! Seeing Su Yus actions, the yers around him all looked stunned. They started discussing again: Why does Boss Ke keep throwing spiritual energy coins into the jade te? How does he have so much money? Does the jade te have some magic that can reflect the spiritual energy coins back to Boss Ke, allowing him to continue throwing? That should be the case, but whats the point of doing this? Could it be a money-throwing show? I prefer to call it a coin-scattering performance. Hearing what these yers were saying, Su Yu couldnt help twitching his mouth. He was spending money for power-ups! How did the yers misunderstand it as a performance? So, Su Yu simply opened up the viewing rights of the Prayer Hall to all yers. Any yer could view the attributes of the [Prayer Hall sacrificial altar]. The yers also chose to view it in turn. But after viewing it, many yers were stunned. Boss Ke wasnt performing, but spending money to gain buffs. And the amount of money spent a whole 190,000! Many yers were frightened by this number, and some even had their hearts skip a beat. 190,000! 190,000 spiritual energy coins were equivalent to 600,000 Flower Coins! In just a little while, Boss Ke had thrown away 600,000?! Who burns money like you do? Wouldnt it be better to buy a car with it? Is it necessary to spend so much for a game? yers stared at Su Yu with their eyes wide open, their minds confused. However, Su Yu did not stop. 190,000 was far from the upper limit that the sacrificial altar could bear. For the first time using it, he was determined to test the upper limit of the altar. So, Su Yu turned himself into a ruthless coin-throwing machine, continuously sprinkling more and more coins into the jade te. The bonus of the miraculous architecture, with the infusion of a massive amount of spiritual energy coins, was getting higher and higher! Chapter 194: 194, 190 million! Causing a huge sensation across the whole network_1 Chapter 194: 190 million! Causing a huge sensation across the wholework_1 Trantor: 549690339 Seeing Su Yu pause briefly before resuming his extravagant spending, the surrounding yers lost theirposure. 190,000 is already a lot. How much are you nning to spend? Seeing the spiritual energy coins being absorbed one by one by the jade altar, many yers felt a figurative pain in their chest, wishing they were the altar to receive Boss Kes munificence. Boss Ke, Boss Ke! A nearby yer raised his hand and asked, Just how many spiritual energy coins do you have in your backpack? Su Yu lifted his head, Not much, barely enough to use. Seeing Su Yu was willing to answer questions, another yer also raised his hand and asked, Boss Ke, do you not feel heartache spending so much money? Su Yu answered, Its fine, its really not that much money anyway. Boss Ke, if you have more money than you know what to do with, you can throw some my way! Isnt it a waste to throw it all on the altar? Throwing it on the altar can buff my territory. Can you buff my territory if I give it to you? The yer was speechless: Boss Ke, Boss Ke The surrounding yers eagerly asked all sorts of questions, making the atmosphere particrly lively. yers outside the grand hall noticed themotion inside and turned their heads to look: Whats happening inside? Why is it so noisy? A yer ran out from the grand hall, shouting excitedly, Come and see! Boss Ke is burning money to upgrade his territorys buffs. He has already spent more than 200,000 spiritual energy coins! The yers outside were stunned, More than 20 thousand? Are you sure you didnt misread? Doing a full days tasks, selling equipment and materials, you could only earn thirty to forty spiritual energy coins. 20 thousand? There exists an amount of spiritual energy coins that uses a ten-thousand increment? Believe it if you want to. Hurry in and take a look. I guarantee your eyes will be opened! After saying this, the yer hastily returned to the grand hall. The yers outside exchanged nces with each other, then they all walked towards the grand hall to see for themselves. Upon entering the grand hall, the yers were immediately shocked! The sacrificial value had jumped, not to over 200,000, but 330,000! Every three or four seconds, the number increased by 10,000! The new yers who had just arrived also lost theirposure and eagerly told their in-game friends and rtives about this. Suddenly, a huge number of yers in the game started heading towards Su Yus territory, looking to broaden their horizons. The Prayer Hall was already overstuffed with people. With more yers being drawn inside, the grand hall became even more crowded, resembling a subway during rush hour. Among the yers, there were also many livestreamers who definitely would not let this hot topic go unnoticed. These livestreamers couldnt get to the center, so they had to pay money to exchange ces with the yers in front. Finally, by spending money, they reached the side of the sacrificial altar and aimed their in-game cameras at Su Yu. Offline, several livestreaming rooms appeared, showcasing Su Yu burning through money. There was also a mention of this on the official forum, stirring up a wave of discussions that spread from online to offline. In the game, Su Yu felt that the speed at which he was throwing money was a bit slow. [Marvel Addition]reached 100%, but with each 10,000 spiritual energy coin offering, the received buff decreased more and more, gradually falling from the initial 5.2% to 4% then to 3%. And he could only throw out 10,000 spiritual energy coins at a time. Who knows when he would be able to stack the buff to its limit. After some thought, Su Yu privately contacted Sky Dragon and Swift, asking them to help him throw money. The two of them, Su Yu trusted. Soon, Swift arrived outside the hall with Sky Dragon. Su Yu asked the yers to make way for them, then gave each of them 500,000 spiritual energy coins from his backpack. The three of them then began to shower the sacrificial altar with money. Ding ding deng deng! A huge amount of spiritual energy coins struck against the jade altar and werepletely absorbed, with the [Marvel Addition]gradually rising from 100% to 200% then to 300%. Swift reluctantly threw out the spiritual energy coins. Even though it wasnt her money, she still felt a great pain. She looked towards Su Yu, Guild Leader, we dont actually need to pursue such a high addition. With each 10,000 spiritual energy coin, our gain is getting lower and lower. Perhaps, we could save some money and use it where its more needed. Su Yuughed, Its alright, the more needed ce you speak of does notck money. Swift: Sky Dragon meanwhile was happily throwing money, Ha ha, this is my first time spending so much money. The sound of the Spiritual energy coins striking the jade altar is so crisp, it sounds lovely. Ill bust open my fathers safe tomorrow, then go out into the streets to throw some around! Just make sure you follow through! Su Yu yfully teased Sky Dragons cute little nose and traded her another 500,000. The process of the three throwing moneysted a full 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, [Marvel Addition]finally reached its limit of [1000%]. And for that, Su Yu paid a staggering 19 million spiritual energy coins! He paid a hundred-fold the normal price for a ten-fold increase. Looking at the sacrifice total of 19 million on the altars attribute board, the whole Prayer Hall fell silent. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. 19 million?! What exactly did they witness? In just ten short minutes, Boss Ke spent 19 million! This this One of the yers wanted to speak, wanting to express his shocked emotions. But the words died in his mouth, and all he could utter was This this Especially the yers who had just arrived, they werepletely stunned by the number, their minds unable to process it for a long time. As for the official forum offline, it exploded! Now you could barely hear any discussion about anything else in the forum, not even about Su Yus level. The entire forum was left with just one topic C 19 million. 19 million! Guys, Im bbergasted. Can someone please tell me that Im dreaming? Sorry, no. It cant be photoshopped, right? You are free to go online and check; the data is open to all. 19 million when converted to Flower Coins would be equal to 60 million! That cant be estimated in such a way. If all this money was dumped into the ck Market, it would definitely lead to a significant devaluation of spiritual energy coins. But even then, converting it to two or three tens of millions should be no problem. I have to admit, Boss Ke is too incredible! A while ago, I made over 2,000 spiritual energy coins from trading goods and felt extremely high and mighty. But now hell! 19 million spiritual energy coins! This surely is thergest single consumption in game history, isnt it?! That should be correct, I havent heard anyone spending tens of millions in a game. Does Boss Ke have a spiritual energy coin mine at home! The explosion on the official forum quickly led to major discussions on other tforms. The yer poption in Evolution is no longer the mere 100,000 it once was. Now, the number of yers in Evolution is approaching tens of millions, tentatively starting to show signs of a national level online game. So, the topic of 19 million quickly spread to other major tforms. Regardless of Xue Wenlis push, this topic quickly rose to the number one position on the hot search list of various tform websites, triggering nationwide discussions. Because the number 19 million was simply too topical! Chapter 195: 195, Division of Labor, Dave’s New Plant Cultivation_1 Chapter 195: Division of Labor, Daves New nt Cultivation_1 Trantor:549690339 In the Prayer Hall, Su Yu, after browsing the attribute panel of the sacrificial altar, nodded with satisfaction. He spent 19 million spiritual energy coins to gain this buff that would onlyst for a day. It seemed like quite a loss, but actually, it wasnt at all. This day-long buff could increase the upgrade speed of his territory to twelve times that of the original pace! If used wisely, it could elerate the construction of the Mage Tower in his territory by 11 days. Building a Mage Tower a day earlier would increase the victory rate of Blue Star Humans by a fraction, so this money was well spent! Besides, spending a mere 19 million spiritual energy coins a day was not a problem for him, as he had enough spiritual energy coins in his backpack tost him for a whole year, so he didnt worry at all. In the Prayer Hall, Swift secretly nced at Su Yu, her expression somewhatplex. She knew that Su Yu was wealthy, considering that he had funded the development of the entire guild with his personal finances. But she never imagined that Su Yu would be so wealthy. Guild leader, where did you get so many spiritual energy coins from? As far as I know, our Emperor Blood ys the Sky guild has not been able to collect as many coins for this whole period that it has been open she inquiries, before continuing in a lower voice,If you gave me that money, I could start flipping items in the auction house with my abilities and make even more money! Flipping items? Now is not the time to flip items. Su Yu shakes his head, Lets head back to the town hall! Now that we have a twelve times buff, there is still much work to be done. Okay. Seeing that Su Yu had no interest in manipting the market, Swift sighed slightly. Now that the territory buff was activated, thick green mist spouted from the dragons head at the Yulon statue. This green mist quickly spread throughout the territory, dyeing the entire territory with a rich and deep green hue. The NPCs and yers in the territory, after inhaling this green mist, felt an improvement in spirit, full of vigor. The crops in the field, weeds by the roadside, and trees also began to grow wildly beyond their normal growth cycles under the influence of the green mist. The once inconspicuouswn had grown to submerge a yers knees in just a few minutes, growing at an incredibly rapid rate. And the yers had also discovered some hidden benefits. In the Prayer Hall, one of the yers suddenly eximed, Am I seeing this right?! My experience points are increasing automatically! The sound of his voice instantly caught the attention of the surrounding yers. Everyone hurried to look at their experience bars. Soon enough, they found out it was true! Every two to three seconds, they would automatically gain one experience point. Its true! My experience points are also increasing automatically! another yer eximed in astonishment. This rate of experience gain is quite fast every 2 seconds gains +1 point, which gives an hour of 1800 experience points. Holy cow, this is like the speed of leveling up! Indeed, its almost like my own leveling speed! Is this a hidden effect of the green mist? Leveling up just by being AFK, this is too cool! The yers were excited, the atmosphere was booming. At this time, Su Yu, Swift, and Sky Dragon, each riding on their mounts, were heading towards the [Town Hall]. Swift, now we need to pay attention to three things. Su Yu ordered. Go ahead. The first thing is about refugees. Su Yu stated, Now our [Refugee Attractiveness] is twelve times what it was before, you know what this means, right? Of course I do. Swifts expression grew serious, It means we can receive up to 240 refugees every two hours! The current poption of our territory is 343. If Prosperity Level and Livability Level remain above ny for the next two hours, our territory can be upgraded to [Large Vige], in four hours to [Huge Vige], and in eight hours to [Small Town]! A three-tier jump in the territorys level within just one day, indeed, was a great challenge for them! Correct, refugees must be settled well. To settle these many refugees all at once, while also ensuring the prosperity and livability level is a huge challenge for us. Su Yu continued, As for the second thing, it is city construction. After the territory is upgraded, the buildings in the territory need to be upgraded too, and moreover, we also need to construct our next wonder. But this is quite easy to solve, I n to recruit 1,000 yers as temporary workers. As long as the money is right, construction shouldnt be a problem. Its your money, do what you want with it. Swift responded, expressionless. As for the third thing, it is monster attacks. Su Yu held up three fingers. Oh right! There are the monster attacks. Swifts expression gradually became serious. When the territory was upgraded from the Small Vige to Medium Vige, there had been a monster attack. But that monster attack was quite simple, and the yers had easily crushed the attacking monsters. But for the subsequent attacks, the difficulty of the monster attacks would surely increase. And due to the short preparation time, it would be difficult for them to train enough NPC soldiers, hence the pressure to defend the city might be quite high. Guild leader, we could ask the Elite Team from the Relevant Department guild to help with the defenses, we should be able to handle the monster attacks with their power. Swift suggested. Thats what I was thinking too. Su Yu nods, Then lets divide the work, Swift. I will handle the monster attacks and recruit refugees, you will handle the settling the refugees and building construction, how about it? No problem. Swift instantly responded. What about me? What about me? Seeing that Su Yu didnt mention her, Sky Dragon raised her hand to ask. You can follow me. Su Yu gently pinched Sky Dragons chubby little face, Lets go recruit refugees together, we could use your good luck. Alright. Sky Dragon stuck out her lips. Just then, once again, Sky Dragon received a Lightning Warning from the system. But she was already used to Su Yus behavior and simply clicked Cancel. Simultaneously, when Su Yu and the others arrived back at the town hall, at [Crazy Dave]s ntation on southern side of the vige. Dave was now without a doubt the most popr NPC in the territory. Not only was he an epic talent, but also the [Sunflowers] and [Pea Shooters], amongst other Demonic nts that he cultivated, were incredibly adorable and were very much liked by female yers. In Daves ntation, apart from the five yers that Su Yu assigned to help him, five more female yers and two male yers were present. The seven of these yers volunteered to be Daves assistants. So, although the ntation wasnt big, it was quite lively. In the ntation, Dave crouched in the experimental field and watched closely at a crooked [Sunflower]. He took out a pen and paper, recorded on his notebook, Experiment 43, unsessful. Its alright Dave. A yerforted, Failure is the mother of sess. As long as the path is correct and we dont stray, well eventually seed in cultivating a new nt! Youre right. Dave stood up from the fieldside, brushing the soil from his hands, ready to rest before starting the next experiment. However, right at that moment, a thick green mist spread to the ntation, the spiritual energy concentration in the yard began to increase dramatically. Initially startled, Dave then became overjoyed! With a sudden increase in the concentration of spiritual energy, a lightbulb went off in his mind C with this approach, he might seed with the experiment. He called out to the yers in the yard, Everyone, I just thought of an effective method! The sess of this experiment may now depend on this one attempt! Chapter 196: 196, 【Twin Sunflowers】_1 Chapter 196: Twin Sunflowers_1 Trantor:549690339 Mermaid, go and exchange for a 30% concentration of the Solution of Green Ivy and drop 3 drops on each nt. Understood. Theres no wife in the wife cake, you grind the scales of the [Red Puffer] into powder and sprinkle it on each nt, 3 grams for each. Alright. Winter of Love, you go fetch water, remember to soak the bones of [Blowfishmen] in the water Under Davesmand, yers in the ntation got busy, starting the 44th experiment. This time Dave nted more [Sunflowers]. In the previous 43 experiments, only 10 sunflowers were nted for easier care. But this time, Dave nted 30 sunflowers at once and sprinkled more abundant solutions on each of them. Hopefully, with the huge boost from the Spiritual Energy, he can mutate the species he wants! Sunflower seeds were being nted into soil one by one by Dave. yers, following Daves instructions, were busily watering the seeds with various potions. Now, the growth speed of nts in this territory was very fast. After merely 10 minutes, 12 sunflower seeds emerged from the soil, sprouting tender new shoots. Seeing these shoots, Dave nodded approvingly, A survival rate of 40%, not bad at all! Yes, indeed. A yer agreed, If it were under previous Spiritual Energy conditions and we used such arge dosage of potions, probably none of them would survive. A female yer named Winter of Love also nodded, Yeah! Forget the other things, the bones of Blowfishmen are extremely poisonous. It is rare to see nts survive when being watered with them. Dave scratched his head as heughed, Things are different now. The Spiritual Energy is several times more abundant now, and nts are much more resilient Then Dave pped his hands loudly, Everybody listen up! Lets take out all the [Sunstones] from the storeroom and ce them beside each nt. ce 10 stones beside each nt. ce 10 stones?! The surrounding yers were shocked. A male yer named Mermaid eximed, Dave, previously we burnt all the sunflower nts with just 3 [Sunstones]. This time you are straight up using 10 stones? Isnt this too risky? Its fine. Dave stroked his beard, You have to trust my judgment. And also, trust in the miracles of life. Well okay. Since Dave insisted, the yers didnt say anything further and went towards the storeroom. 5 minutester, yers ced [Sunstones] one by one next to the sunflower seedlings. Once activated, [Sunstones] emit bright light and high heat, just like miniature suns. The seedlings clearly couldnt stand such intense light and heat. Shortly after the [Sunstones] were ced, five nts started to brown and wilt. The growth of the other seven was also heavily restricted to varying degrees. As expected, it would already be a miracle, to believe in life under such harsh conditions, if any of these could survive. Winter of Love looked at the burnt sunflower seedlings with some sympathy. Indeed, survival alone would be quite remarkable. yers nodded in agreement. In the following 10 minutes, four out of the remaining seven seedlings couldnt bear the heat, got dried up, and turned into dead twigs. Only three seedlings continued to grow stubbornly. However, these three seedlings seemed to also realize that they couldnt continue growing under the previous condition and chose to mutate in order to handle this crisis. One seedling chose to sprout a lot of leaves to counter the intense light and heat; The second seedling chose to shed all its branches and leaves and only keep its trunk to retain water; The third seedling chose to bifurcate at the stem, growing an entirely new branch, nning to use a crown of two flowers to absorb the extra light and heat. The third was exactly what Dave needed! Seeing that this nt began to cultivate a crown of two flowers, his hand clutching a shovel trembled slightly, Finally, we see the mutation we want! Quick, reduce the [Sunstones] to 7 pieces! The yers quickly took action and imed the three [Sunstones]. With the light around them dimming, the growing conditions for the sunflower sapling eased significantly. In anticipation, Dave and the yers watched as the sapling sprouted a pale yellow bud at the end of each of its two stems. Once mature, the sunflower would have two crowns. Having produced two crowns, the cultivation work this time could be considered a great sess! Dave, touching the tender buds of the sunflower with trembling hands, was overwhelmed with emotion, We finally did it! Having been in the Domain for a month and a half, he finally had a work to present to the adults. Yes, we did it! The yers were also very delighted. Everyone pitched in significantly in the cultivation of this mutant nt. Quickly notify the Guild Leader, let him know about this good news! The Guild Leader will surely be thrilled when he hears about this! The yers in the garden began to chatter away in the guild chat channel, and some directly messaged Swift. Three minutester, Su Yu hurriedly dashed into the ntation, Dave, did you seed in the cultivation? Of course! Dave turned sideways, proudly showing Su Yu the sunflower with two crowns. The two crowns of the sunflower just bloomed, both still very tender. However, the whole nt was thriving and growing extremely well. Su Yu activated the [Insight] spell, clearly seeing the attributes of the sunflower. [Twin Sunflowers] Type: nt Attributes: Can produce 2 units of [Sunshine] every sunny day. [Sunshine] can be absorbed and transformed into Experience Points, and can also be used to exchange for nts at Aphi [Crazy Dave] (14,36). Note: A mutated form of [Sunflower], possessing superior seeds. Upon seeing the attributes of the sunflower, Su Yu was overjoyed. In his previous life, [Sunflowers] were the main source of Experience Points for average yers, ounting for about 60% of the total. Now that it had mutated, the output of Sunshine had doubled! This was a big deal for all of humanity, and the impact it would have in theter stage could be as significant as seizing a Spiritual Spring Eye, influencing the entire human battle situation! Thank you, Tyro! Su Yu overwhelmed with emotion, rushed forward, and gave Dave a big hug. Speak, what reward do you want? Would 100,000 spiritual energy coins be enough? The more Su Yu looked at Daves old face, the more pleasurable it felt, and he was even tempted to steal a kiss. Err, Sir, it was my duty. Dave, not expecting such an intense reaction from Su Yu, awkwardly rubbed the corner of his clothes. The female yers who saw this scene, their eyes lit up. They quickly gathered in a group, excitedly discussing: Look, I told you! Daves the one, Tinas nothingpared to him! Before I didnt believe, but now it seems The Guild Leader is really very warm towards Dave! Im definitely shipping this couple! Daves stock is on fire, sell off Tinas stock, princess stock in a downfall, investing all in Dave. Sisters, do we want to get in a forum fight with the Tina party? Hearing the dialogue of these female yers, Su Yu released Dave with a face of disbelief. Youdies, could you not discuss these messy things, okay? Chapter 197: 197, Is my boyfriend okay? _1 Chapter 197: Is my boyfriend okay? _1 Trantor: 549690339 The sessful cultivation of the [Twin Sunflowers] lifted Su Yus spirits considerably! In the central square of Aphi vige. Before 343 vigers, 507 guild members, and 1000 temporary workers, Su Yu heaped praises on Dave. Dave, heres your reward of 100,000 spiritual energy coins! I hope you can continue your efforts and cultivate even more high-quality Sun nts, Su Yu said, as he handed over a silver Magic Crystal Card to Dave. Thank you, my lord. Dave took the Magic Crystal Card in a daze, feeling as if he were dreaming. A month ago, he was still worrying about his livelihood. Could he really buy a house in Orleans City with the bounty hed just received? The change was staggering. Behind Dave, the female yer Xunlian Winter gently tugged at his sleeve. Dave snapped back to reality and quickly said, Oh, my lord, I have something to mention. Please, go ahead. Xunlian Winter, Mermaid, and a few others have been designing a mushroom that can produce sunlight at night, called the [Sun Mushroom]. However, its only a concept at this point and we arent sure if we can make it a reality. Go ahead confidently, resources are well supplied! Su Yu patted Dave on the shoulder: If you seed, theres a bonus of 200,000 for you. Youll get 100,000, and those who assisted you will share the remaining 100,000. Thank you, president! The yers assisting Dave were overjoyed. 12 of them sharing 100,000! The thought filled them with energy. The other guild members and temporary workers present watched them with envy. What a bunch of lucky bastards, nabbing a job with such a hefty reward. Su Yu coughed lightly to draw everyones attention. Once he had everyones attention, he slowly said: There are three primary issues current guing our region that I want to discuss with you. The first one is, refugees Su Yu borately repeated the three issues he had discussed with Swift. After addressing all three issues, he continued to emphasize, This is a crucial time for our region, and its going to be the busiest time for all of you. Every persons sry will be doubled during this period! I hope no one drops the ball at this critical juncture. Sries doubled? The eyes of everyone present brightened. Especially the temporary workers. They were originally drawn by the high sries Su Yu offered, and now they were being doubled? How could there be such a good deal? Boss Ke is mighty! The president is generous! We will absolutelyplete the task! We wont drop the ball! Cheers resounded across the square. Alright, everyone get to work! Su Yu waved his hand grandly, signifying the start of the regions construction effort. Half an hourter, at the western entrance of Aphi Vige where the refugees were being received. Twelverge pots were set up, filled with bubbling meat soup that filled the air with its aroma for miles. Guild recruitment yers and some temporary workers were busy here, some preparing meat soup, some distributing clothes to refugees, and others preparing registers to record the numbers of these refugees. Sky Dragon Lolli had idle time on her hands. She was sitting on the Howling Moon Wolf Snowy and ying with it by tying a piece of meat to a tree branch. Not far from the recruitment group, a goblin in formal wear was directing carriers to move supplies here: Hurry, time is money my friends. Vina,e here for a moment. Su Yu stood on a small mound behind the recruitment group, waving at the goblin. This goblin was, of course, Veena ckgold. Hearing Su Yus summon, he immediately ran over: Boss Nemesis, what can I do for you? Veena ckgold, having been saved by Su Yu once, now maintains a loyalty rating of 100, making her Su Yus most loyal employee. How is the handling of goods within the territory going? Su Yu asked. Rest assured, Boss Nemesis, the rotation of goods is smooth, and there have been no problems, replied Veena ckgold with pride. The necessities needed to settle the refugees, such as clothes, nkets, and salt, all have been purchased in Orleans City and loaded onto ships. The first batch of these goods has already arrived at the territory. In addition, the weapons, armors, bows and arrows, and other war supplies you asked me to buy have been negotiated with the sellers. They will arrive in Orleans City this afternoon. Very good! Su Yu was exceptionally satisfied with Veena ckgolds work. Indeed, she was an epic talent. Veena, I have another task for you. Please let me know. Take this to the lords manor in Orleans City, and show it to Lord ude. Su Yu took the Princesss token from his bag and handed it to Veena ckgold: Tell him that our territory is under monster invasion, and we require an elite force of five hundred to assist. Su Yu was most worried about not being able to hold off thest few waves of monster attacks, so he began thinking of ways to utilize NPC resources. He also added: Dont forget the gift. I will give you 200,000 spiritual energy coins for your expenses. Veena ckgold epted the token and the Magic Crystal Card handed to her by Su Yu. Realizing the importance of the task, her face became serious: Boss Nemesis, I willplete this task. Go! Su Yu patted her shoulder. Not long after Veena ckgold left, a rustling sound came from the woods on the west. Are the refugeesing? The Sky Dragon riding on Snowy came to Su Yus side and jumped down from the Howling Moon Wolf. They should be. Lets go and see. Su Yu held Sky Dragons hand, and they headed towards the source of the sound. In the woods, dozens of refugees emerged, drawn out by the aroma of meat. When they saw therge pot filled with meat, the refugees were almost consumed by their cravings, constinuosuly swallowing their own saliva. May we ask, is this Aphi vige? We saw a notice recruiting refugees in the city, and we came over right away. The refugees questioned Su Yu upon seeing him. Indeed, this is Aphi vige, and I am its lord, Nemesis, Su introduced himself. Since you all have chosen mynd, we are family from now on. Come, first have a bowl of meat soup to fill your stomachs. Everyone gets a share! After your soup, head over there to get clothes. Again, everyone gets a share! The refugees couldnt believe what they heard, their eyes widening in disbelief. Were they not only being offered meat soup, but also clothes? In other territories, not to mention clothes or meat soup, you might not even get a piece of dark bread! Thank you, Lord Nemesis! Out of gratitude, the refugees kneeled and pledged loyalty to Su Yu, boosting their loyalty to him! Simultaneously, Su Yu also received a system notification: Ding, your territory [Aphi Vige] received 236 refugees. Among them, there are 42 ordinary talents and 3 excellent talents. Hmm, the number of talented people recruited is indeed impressive with Sky Dragons help! Su Yu was very satisfied with the number of talents he had acquired. Currently, [Aphi Vige] is a medium-level vige. The chances of ordinary talents appearing among the refugees are 12%, and excellent talents have a 0.24% chance. With Sky Dragons help, not only were there more ordinary talents, but also 3 excellent talents emerged. They truly deserved thebel of European nobles! Sky, you always manage to make a difference! praised Su Yu. Hehe, are you going to reward me? the little Lolita twinkled her eyes. Reward? What would you like? Su Yu was somewhat puzzled. Surely the little Lolita wasnt short on money? Do you want to be my boyfriend when I turn 18? Sky Dragon suddenly asked earnestly. Su Yu: Chapter 198: 198、Orleans City Lord’s Manor_1 Chapter 198: 198Orleans City Lords Manor_1 Trantor: 549690339 If youre 18 Alright then, when you turn 18, I agree to you being my girlfriend, Su Yu answered straightforwardly. The Sky Dragon is only 14 now. By the time she turns 18, maybe all the humans will be destroyed! No need to think so far ahead. Its a deal! Come, lets make a pinky promise. The little girl held out her pinky towards Su Yu. Pinky promise, Su Yu also extended his pinky and hooked it with hers. Its settled then, from now on youre my boyfriend! The Sky Dragon hugged Su Yus arm affectionately. But suddenly, it seemed like she thought of something. So she asked, As your future girlfriend, shouldnt I have a bit of a special privilege? What do you want to do? Su Yu had a bad premonition. Of course, it is to take on Dave. Now Im the rightful one! The Sky Dragon jumped onto the back of the Howling Moon Wolf, Snowy, lets go! Were going to take on Dave! Howl~ The Howling Moon Wolf howled and quickly headed to the south of the vige with the little girl. Su Yu: Watching the small girls back as she left, he twitched at the corner of his mouth, not sure what to say. After the refugee recruitment waspleted, the yers of the recruitment team brought all the refugees back to the vige for proper cement. At this time, all the yers in the territory received a system announcement: [Aphi Vige] poption has reached 400, sessfully promoted to [Large Vige]. The expansion of the vige pressured the surrounding monsters habitat, so in 30 minutes, some monsters will attack Aphi Vige, please be ready to defend! Average level of this monster siege[12], total number of monsters: [1333]. Including ordinary monsters [1200], Elite Monsters [120], boss monsters [12], and elite boss [1]. Countdown starts 29:56. See the system announcement, several yers lit up: Monster siege? Are the monsters about to attack again? This time there are 200 more monsters than thest time, monster level is 2 higher, the difficulty has not increased much. I got a lot of monster materials and equipment from thest monster siege, I hope I can get a good harvest this time too. Get your weapons everybody, lets kick some ass! During the monster siege, the probability of monsters dropping equipment and material is twice as usual, so all the yers are itching to have a go. Su Yu didnt take this monster siege to heart. The intensity of this monster siege is not high, a mere 1000 plus level 12 wild monsters, they dont even need the guild yers to move. The yers watching the drama in Prayer Hall can handle them. What Su Yu really worried about was the monster siege after the territory upgrades to [Town]. The level of the monsters in those waves would be very high, several levels or even more than a dozen levels higher than the yers! By that time, the level difference would be so high that even if the yers poured in their lives, it would be hard to win without the help of NPC troops. When the timees, it will be the time to show Su Yus connections. However, Su Yu will not just do nothing. He opened the private chat interface and entered the [Redridge Mountain C&C intelligence collection group] chat room. This chat room was created during the 25th mission of the Tina linest time, it was never dismissed, and the five yers like [Japanese Nuclear Waste] are still in it. In the chat room, Su Yu directly said: Nuclear Waste, you five have seen the game announcement, right? Of course, we saw it. Nuclear Waste quickly replied. And he added a surprised emoji after the reply, obviously, he didnt expect Su Yu to speak at this time. In this monster siege, you five will assist me inmanding the war. After the siege, I will tell you guys about a few rewarding hidden missions, so you guys can get some high-quality equipment and skills to catch up with the elite yers of major guilds. After observing for these two days, Su Yu found that the five-man team of Nuclear Waste is capable and cooperative, he decided to focus on cultivating them. Su Yu knows a lot of low-level, well-rewarded hidden missions. He doesnt need the rewards for these missions, so he can use them to reward them and cultivate an elite team. Okay, President, we will try our best toplete the mission! Nuclear Waste immediately promised. Then you guyse to me, Im at the west entrance of the vige. You can also change the name of this chat room to [Monster Siege Command]. Now, each of you five should create a hundred-person chat room and bring all the guild yers in ording to their upations. After the monster siege starts, I will issuemands in this chat room, and you guys will pass themands to other chat rooms Su Yu began to arrange tasks to prepare for theing monster siege. As for why create five chat rooms instead of directlymanding in the guild channel? Thats because the guild channel has been upied by Swift, who is issuing various building instructions. To avoid confusion, they have to open new chat rooms. Just when Aphi Vige was bustling with activity, 40 kilometers due west, in the city lords manor of Orleans City. In arge conference room of the city lords manor, the city lord, ude Strathrow, sat in the main seat, casually savoring a cup of strong tea. Four senior staff members sat below him. City Lord ude took a sip of the strong tea, put down the cup, and said, What about the matter of the other world adventurer [Nemesis], how is the intelligence department doing? Lord City Lord, the life information of Nemesis has been investigated, and I have also read the reportpiled by the intelligence department. The leading senior staff stood up and answered respectfully. Oh? Then recite it to me. Okay. This staff member organized his thoughts and slowly began to speak: Nemesis is currently a first-order magician. Four months ago, Nemesis provoked an attack from the eighth-order powerhouse [Star-forged Dragon King] in Nn Vige After that, he took a handwritten letter from the vige chief of Nn Vige to Goldfinch City to meet with the princess The battle above Kaishi Town, Nemesis used a [Sixth-order Temporary Experience Scroll] to transform into a six-order powerhouse and sessfully rescued the princess The staff member recounted Su Yus experiences in the game in detail. City Lord ude did not interrupt, quietly sipping his tea and listening. After the staff finished speaking, he put down his tea cup, pped slowly and powerfully: Wonderful! Wonderful! Such experiences in just a few months, this Nemesis is not to be underestimated! The staff memberughed and said, Lord City Lord, are you still going to do something about Nemesis? After all, he is the life-saver of the princess and is close to Tina, the head of the legion. Of course No! udes expression suddenly turned cold, he picked up the precious porcin cup from the Pandamen Empire in front of him and suddenly crushed it: He must be taught a lesson, he cant think that as the lord of this city I am weak and can be bullied! udes sharp gaze swept all the staff in the room: I know about the characteristics of otherworldly adventurers, they will not truly die, but will resurrect after a short time after death. My colleagues, if I want to teach Nemesis a lesson, besides repeatedly killing him, do we have better methods? ps: Sorry, I drank and chatted with a client toote today, there might not be a second update today. Ill make up for it tomorrow! Chapter 199: 199. Lord Claude’s Plan, Territory Development_1 Chapter 199: 199. Lord udes n, Territory Development_1 Trantor: 549690339 The chief staff member let out a silent sigh, but his expression remainedpletely normal: Lord Mayor, if you really want to teach Nemesis a lesson, I suggest we target his territory. Territory? Where is Nemesiss territory? The Lord Mayors eyes shifted, showing a glimmer of interest. Checking the register on his desk, the staff member replied: ording to our records, Nemesiss territory is downstream of the Moonlight River, approximately 30 kilometers from Orleans City. Downstream of the Moonlight River, got it. The eyes of Lord Mayor ude narrowed slightly, his gaze bing cold and calcting: Nemesis manipted Tina Garcia to kill my uncle Milton, causing significant losses for the Nightingale Commerce. Its high time we gave Nemesis a gift! KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. A dull knock came from the wooden door of the meeting room. ude and his staff stopped their discussion, looking in the direction of the door. An elderly butler dressed in a ck cotton uniform entered the room: Master, its me. I apologize for interrupting your meeting. Ah, its you, Hemet. ude rxed back in his chair, crossed his arms, What is the important matter? ude knew his old butler Hemet well. Hemet would never intrude on a meeting without a good reason. Since he was here, it meant that something hade up or Hemet had something to say that was rted to what they were discussing. The old butler respectfully bowed to the attendees, saying: Master, the goblin[Venack Gold]is here, and he carries the token given by Nemesis as a symbol of his role as the emissary of the Princess. Oh? udes eyes narrowed slightly. They were discussing Nemesis, and ironically, one of Nemesis men had arrived. ude rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then stood up. His gaze swept over his staff: I will meet with the goblin. Meanwhile, everyone, stay here, do not leave. Understood. The staff members quickly answered. Then, ude got up and left the meeting room, leaving his staff waiting patiently. A few minutester, ude returned to the meeting room, walking with the stride of a dragon and the fierceness of a tiger. Compared to when he left, there was no noticeable change in his expression. Lord Mayor, what did the Goblin say? the chief staff member asked. He didnt say much. ude sat in the main seat, his expression somewhat strange: Nemesiss territory is suffering from a monster attack, and he asked for 500 elite soldiers to assist him in the defense. And you? Well, of course, Ive sent our aid. ude revealed a smile: As colleagues working together for the Empire, I should undoubtedly help in such a small matter. Is that so? The staff members eyes shifted, Lord Mayor, are you nning to sabotage these elite soldiers and backstab Nemesis? Who knows? ude did not deny nor confirm. But Nemesis is not a fool. The staff member reminded, Nemesis knows very well that he has severely offended you, so he will definitely be wary of the elite soldiers you send. If you want to sessfully target Nemesis, you would need to out-think him. Ha! Nemesis is not a fool, am I one? ude snorted coldly, then waved his hand dismissively: Rest assured, I have a perfect n in mind. Even if Tina Garcia brings the entire Unicorn Knights to help defend Nemesiss territory, he cant hope to hold it! The attending staff, The Lord Mayor is starting toe up with his own ns. Isnt this leaving them, the staff, useless? What will they do if they lose their jobs? This question is urgent and immediate! The scene shifts back to Aphi Vige. With the aid of the 12-fold Speed Gear boost, the grand construction operation in Aphi Vige began! The entire vige has now turned into arge construction site. The farmer craftsmen, responsible for construction, under the assistance of arge number of yers, were upgrading all the buildings in the vige. The [Houses], [Town Hall], [Tavern] were all being fortified and upgraded. It was like arge sawmill. However, some functional buildings cannot be directly upgraded, like the [Bakery], [Smithy], [General Store]. These can only upgrade their building levels by fulfilling a certain number of orders. But it was not difficult toplete the orders. Under themand of Swift, in order to upgrade the [Bakery], the Town Hall issued orders to [Bakery], letting a portion of yers learn the [Chef] profession andplete the orders. Once the conditions for the order were satisfied, the responsible yers got to work, hammering away, and the building sessfully upgraded. Except for preparing for the monster siege, Su Yu spent most of his time in the town hall researching technologies. The research speed of the technologies was boosted 12 times. It was astonishingly fast. As technology after technology unlocked, more and more new buildings continued to appear on thend of Aphi Vige. [Market], [Hospital], [Theater], [Herb Garden], [Irrigation Canal] Swift made diligent use of the over 200 newly received refugees, arranged their amodation, and put them to work on the territory construction, giving them fair remuneration. So at the beginning of the upgrade, due to arge influx of people which led to a plummet down to 70 in the territorys [Habitability], it quickly recovered and after an hour, it returned back to a high position of 90. 2 kilometers north of the vige, Old Carpenter Brooke was leading more than a dozen vigers and over 300 yers working on the second wonder C [Pandaman Terracotta Army]. The construction period for a wonder is very long, but for the long-term consideration of the territory, it was necessary to build. Moreover, the [Pandaman Terracotta Army] is a military wonder, which slightly makes up for theck of NPC military strength in Aphi Vige. Half an hourter, the second monster siege on the territory officially began. However, there is not much to say about this siege. Just in the Prayer Hall, nearly 10,000 yers gathered to spectate. After seeing the invasion notice, quite a few yers crowded over here. So, when faced with nearly 10,000 yers cutting off escape routes, the siege monsters didnt even get close to the vige, they werepletely annihted. After sessfully defending the vige, Su Yu received the defense rewards: [Food] x2000, [Gold] x600, 40 leather armors, 50 long swords, 30 longbows, 5000 feather arrows. Su Yu instructed his men to move these rewards from the town hall to the barracks. Meanwhile, he messaged Swift: Swift, keep an eye out for talented fighters, archers, and mages in the territory, and allow them to form an army. Im going offline for a while, Ill be back in an hour and a half. Offline? Swift was taken aback. Su Yu replied, Yes, our game time is only 12 hours per day. If we do not go offline to umte game time, we might miss out on many important events in the game. When youre not busy, keep an eye on your online frequency and make sure to umte enough time. Swift replied: I wont overdo it, and I will control the frequency of my logins to keep enough time. Uh huh, you have been working hard these past few days., after Su Yu said these words, his avatar grayed out and he left the game. Chapter 200: 200. The Third Wave of Monster Siege_1 Chapter 200: 200. The Third Wave of Monster Siege_1 Trantor: 549690339 One and a half hourster, Su Yu returned to the game. By this point, almost all structures within the vige have been upgraded at least once. The Recruitment Team yers brought back thetest batch of 242 disced people, all of whom returned to the vige. When Su Yu logged in, he first checked the property panel of his territory. The current territorial properties were: [Aphi Vige] Level: Giant Vige Poption: 811/1000 Prosperity: 86/100 Livability: 68/100 Resources: Food 2568, Wood 17569, Stone 2567, Gold 624, Iron 426. The viges resources were very plentiful, alleviating any short-term worries about ack of construction material or gold for technology upgrades. Both [Prosperity] and [Livability] took a sharp hit with the arrival of the new batch of disced people. But this wasnt an issue. After all, there was a good two hours before the next arrival of disced people. That was more than enough time to restore both values to over 90. As the poption of the territory increased once again, Su Yu received a system notice: [Aphi Vige] poption exceeds 600 sessfully promoting to [Giant Vige]. The ergement of the viges area pressured the surrounding monsters living space, so, 30 minutes from now, a new group of monsters will attack Aphi Vige. Prepare your defenses. The average level of this siege monster [14], total number of monsters [1557]. Among them, normal monsters [1400], elite monsters [140], leader monsters [14], superior leader monsters [2], rare leader monsters [1]. Countdown begins: 29:57. The average level of the monstersying siege this time was 14, matching the average yers level within the guild. Inwardly, Su Yu reckoned, We should be able to defend this wave of monsters if guild yers work together. They can also gain some experience and equipment. But we must call for external assistance for the next wave, and we need to prepare in advance for that. With this in mind, he opened a private chat window to connect with [The range is the truth]: Are you guys ready? Its two-and-a-half hours until the next monster attack. The next wave will likely be 17 or 18 level monsters, numbering around 2000. Snow Leopard was offline dealing with issues in Lingwu Mountain Spring Eye, and hadnt logged in yet, so Su Yu could only get in touch with Range is the Truth. Range is the Truth readily agreed to help Su Yu defend the vige. Upon receiving the private message, he promptly replied: Alright, well be there in two hours. If the monsters are level 17 or 18, then well have to take this seriously. The average level of the Relevant Department guilds Elite Team was also around 18. The monsters levels werent far off from theirs, and their numbers were significant. They definitely needed to approach this seriously, otherwise, they might end up in danger. Great, looking forward to your arrival! replied Su Yu, before closing his private chat with him. Then he opened the [Monster Siege Command Headquarters] chat room: Nuclear Waste, the five of you get ready, your moment of challenge has arrived. Understood, Chairman. We have already grouped the guild yers by profession and would be rallying outside the vige in 15 minutes. Nuclear Waste answered. Half an hourter, a faint yellow halo spread outward from the centre of Aphi vige. It continued to expand until it reached two kilometers outside of the vige and remained hovering in that state. All wild animals and birds vanished under its influence, and Aphi Vige fell into an eerie tranquillity. The tranquillity before the storm. Is this it? Many yers inside the vige perked up, they knew a faint yellow halo symbolised the imminent monster attack. System Bulletin: Aphi Vige Monster Siege will soon initiate Rumble A low, resonating sound rumbled in from the distance, and the ground under the yers feet began to tremble slightly. Shortly after, arge number of monsters spawned at the location of the halo and started advancing towards Aphi viges wooden wall. [Fire Bunny lv13], [Spiky Hedgehog lv14], [Forest Bear lv15], [Dew Elf lv16], [Shadow Anaconda lv16] The formation of the sieging monsters was meticulous. [Forest Bear] with its high defense and substantial hit points was at the front, serving as the tank of the monsters; [Shadow Anaconda], in stealth mode, wrapped around the bear and rushed towards the targets,unching swift and ruthless attacks with its sharp fangs, thus functioning as the assassin among the monsters; [Fire Bunny] cast [Fireball Skill], and the [Fire Bunny Elite] even cast [Rain of Fire] and [Firestorm], ying the role of AOE mage among the monsters; [Spiky Hedgehog] could fire its poisonous heaps towards its enemies, functioning as the archer among the monsters; [Dew Elf] could replenish life points of surrounding monsters using the dew it carried, acting as the priest amongst the monsters. The yers formation was simr to that of the sieging monsters, with tanks at the front; warrior assassins were mixed with tanks; priests, archers and other ranged professions were either stationed at the back row or on the wooden wall. As the monsters slowly approached, the atmosphere started to tense up. yers struck first. Arrows and spells cut through the air, focusing fire on the [Dew Elf] and [Fire Bunny] in the back row C the two monsters posing the greatest threat to the yers. The monsters did not yield either. The spikes from the Hedgehog and the fireballs from the Fire Bunny continually flew towards the yers back row and the walls of the city, taking away beams of white light; the colossal Bear crashed into the densest area of yers and began rampaging, while the Anaconda lunged at the yers throats like lightning. The battle heated up. Both sides had simr levels, but the yers had far more teamworkpared to the monsters; however, the monsters had the numerical advantage. Thus, once the battle reached a boiling point, it was surprisingly difficult to determine the oue. Su Yu quickly found himself in the role of a Fire Fighting Captain. He used the [Invisibility Skill] to approach the rare Boss [Spiky Hedgehog Leader lv18 (Rare)]. With one [Lesser Fireball Skill], he managed to kill it instantly. Before he had time to catch his breath, he received a message in the chat room. Nuclear Waste: Boss Ke! A Fire Bunny boss with tremendous spell power appeared on the east side of the vige, where a single spell killed over twenty yers and ripped a hole in our eastern defense. Su Yu: Alright, Ill be right there. One minuteter. Godzi: Boss Ke, a huge snake appeared on the west side of the vige, and many yers are terrified. Su Yu: Let them cry for a while, Ill be right there. Another minute passed. Nuclear Waste: Boss Ke, a Dew Elf appeared on the north side of the vige, and its really hard to deal with because it doesnt lose any health. Su Yu: Im on my way A few dozen secondster. Mutant: Boss Ke, based on the yers report, a group of sahaguin has appeared in the river to the south of the vige. There were never any monsters from this direction before. Su Yu: Ill go check it out Boss Ke Boss Ke For the next ten or so minutes, Su Yu constantly darted around the vige, putting out fires and engaging inbat. It was so frantic that he began doubting whether he had be a nanny. Chapter 201: 201, Departments Assist, The Fourth Monster Invasion (Updated)_1 Chapter 201: Departments Assist, The Fourth Monster Invasion (Updated)_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the end, Su Yu really didnt want to run anymore. He said in themands chat room, Dont call me if anything happens next, you guys handle it yourself. This siege is to train yourmanding capabilities, not my running skills. My nickname isnt Ke Run Run. Nuclear wastewater: Uh, okay. Tritium treasure: Okay, but on the flip side, the nickname Ke Run Run sounds kind of cute Mutant (cat form): Meow. Nuclear pollution: But Boss Ke, Im currently on the northern side of the vige. I really cant handle this! Nuclear pollution is the only female yer in the five-person team. There are not many monsters on the northern side of the vige where shes stationed, but they are quite tricky. Especially a [Forest Giant Bear] boss that is almost god-like, with an extraordinary kill score, frustrated the yers. She wanted to call out to Boss Ke, but he said she needed to handle it herself. Her face instantly fell. Su Yu thought for a moment and replied, In that case, you take yers from the guild on the north side to the east and west sides for support. I can guard the north by myself. Nuclear wastewater: Guard solo? Tritium treasure: Guard solo? Boss Ke, youre not joking, right? Nuclear pollution: Boss Ke, can you really hold the fort alone? There are so many monsters here! Su Yu: Dont worry, Im super brave. You lead the retreat. Su Yu summoned Dima and headed towards the north of the vige. Upon reaching the frontline of the battle between monsters and yers, he charges in and his area spell starts burning within the pile of monsters. After his area-of-effect spells [Rain of Fire] and [sh Chain] are upgraded to the legendary quality, he can decrease the cooldown time by reducing its power. Su Yu is now a Level 31 2nd Rank Mage. Releasing a third of the force of the area spell is enough to instantaneously kill a besieging monster. Therefore, the cooldown of his two area spells has beenpressed to 2-3 seconds, allowing him almost non-stop casting. Moreover, Su Yu has a [Rock Elemental] summoned with five times the power, providing group taunt. No monster can escape his spells reach. As he battles, Su Yu quickly pushes the frontline to the edge of the faint yellow halo. Block the halo and kill! The besieging monsters have just teleported out of the halo when they are torn into pieces by Su Yus spells. Simple, convenient, and most importantly, he doesnt have to run around. After Su Yus arrival, the yers on the northern side were essentially unemployed and could only go support the other two sides of the vige. However, as they left, they all unconsciously looked at Su Yu as if he were a monster. Brothers, we are a group of 150, and Boss Ke is just one. I know right! We, 150 of us, are barely holding off against monsters on the north side, but Boss Ke is chasing after them and killing them. Today, I finally understand the gap. Why is Boss Ke stronger than 150 of usbined? The yers discussed as they rushed to the east and west of the vige. With the yers in the north distracted, the situation on both the east and west sides quickly stabilized. As time slowly passed, the besieging monsters were gradually wiped out. Another 10 minutester, after thest attacking monster fell, the fourth wave of monster attack officially ended. The guild also paid a hefty price during this round of the monster attack. The death penalty for being killed during a monster attack is the same as getting killed in the wild where you cant log in for half an hour. A total of 277 people from the guild were killed in this wave of the monster attack. The wooden walls and traps in the territory were battered by the monsters. However, Su Yu didnt regret letting the guild yers participate in the monster attack. He doesnt want the guilds yers to be a group of useless yers who dont know how to fight. Especially in the crucial period of fighting the Skuru race, its mandatory for them to participate in the battle to advance their abilities and cooperation. Plus, letting them participate in the monster attack is a nice change from their daily routine of building houses. At least when Su Yu looked around, many yers had happy smiles on their faces. The pickup mode during monster attack is random. However, there is a certain floor mechanism in the pickup process, so virtually every participating yer picked up one or two basic pieces of equipment. After the siege, the yers gathered, joyously swapping unwanted equipment with each other. The Nuclear Wastewater five-man team came over to Su Yu, looking somewhat apologetic: Were sorry, Boss Ke. Weve never led yers into battle before and we were all over the ce during this first attempt. As a result, the losses were much greater than expected. Not only did we have to call you in for help, but the walls and traps suffered a lot of damage too. Its okay, well learn and improve over time. No one is born amander. Su Yu said nonchntly and waved his hand: I will tell you about a few hidden tasks that have generous rewards. You guys can take them on now. However, the Government Dept guild will be here in about two hours. It would be best for you toe back by then to see how a professional teammands. Learn from them. Understood, Boss Ke! Upon hearing about the hidden tasks, the Nuclear Wastewater team perked up. Two hourster, the [Aphi Region] weed 231 refugees again, breaking the 1,000 poption mark, moving up from a [Giant Vige] to a [Small Town]. Following the promotion, of course,es the next monster attack. [Aphi Region] poption reaches 1,000, sessfully promoted to a [Small Town] The average level of monsters besieging this time is C [18], total monster count [2005]. Among them are ordinary monsters [1,800], elite monsters [180], boss monsters [18], excellent boss monsters [5], and rare boss monsters [2]. Countdown begins at 29:58. Just as Su Yu predicted, the siege monsters this time are level 18. At the exact moment when the game announcement was released, the Government Dept guilds 700-man Elite Team arrived on time. Out of the 700 people in Government Dept, 400 are soldiers, and the remaining 300 are high-end yers within the game. They sent out 200 people to guard the east side of the town, 200 to guard the west side, 150 to guard the north side, and the remaining 150 to act as a central support. In the uing monster attack, Government Dept showcased extremely high tacticalpetence, far beyond Su Yus guild. The yers in Su Yus guild in the previous monster siege can basically be described as acting recklessly. For example, in the case of focus fire, it often happened that more than a dozen yers would simultaneously target a single monster. After the monster died, several attacks would still hit the monsters corpse, wasting damage. Government Dept worked very well together. They rarely wasted damage and could predict the damage a monster was about to receive. Based on muscle memory, they could decide whether to continue attacking or switch targets. In addition, they had a deeper understanding of the game, had a full skill set, luxurious equipment configuration, and made almost no mistakes during the entire fight. Therefore, at the end of the battle, only 18 people from the whole guild died, it could almost be said that they had secured aplete victory! The fourth monster invasion of the Aphi region, with the help of the Government Dept, passed smoothly and happily. Chapter 202: 202, Moke and Kathy_1 Chapter 202: Moke and Kathy_1 Trantor: 549690339 Once the monster siege ended, the elite team from the authorities didnt stick around too long and summoned their mounts to leave the Aphi territory. After all, these were the elites within the game, every minute of their time was carefully calcted and utilised efficiently. They wouldnt dawdle here needlessly. However, the guilds second inmand, [The range is the truth], didnt leave. He went to the wooden city wall on the east side of the town and found Su Yu, who was observing the situation. Boss Ke, this wave of monster attack wasnt too difficult, and we didnt have many casualties. We should be able to help you hold the city for the next wave. But the wave after next [The range is the truth] seemed troubled as he spoke. Su Yu saw the look on his face and knew what he wanted to say. He smiled and said, Youre worried about the wave after next, arent you? Yes. [The range is the truth] nodded: The average level of the monsters in the wave after next should be level 22. Even if we manage to defend against it, well suffer heavy losses, with an estimated death rate of 80%. The average level of the elite team from the authorities was around level 18. Against level 22 monsters, they were at a four-level disadvantage. Despite their good coordination, the overwhelming restriction in attributes would inevitably lead to significant casualties. Of course, Su Yu knew this. He smiled and said, Dont worry. Ive already thought about that. In the next wave, you guys will defend. In the wave after next, Ill ask Emperor Blood ys the Skys elite team toe and help. Emperor Blood ys the Sky? Thats a relief. [The range is the truth] heaved a sigh of relief. The Emperor Blood ys the Skys elite team was currently ranked third in the game. Although they were a notch below the authorities team, their presence would indeed alleviate a lot of pressure. Anyway, I really appreciate you guysing to help defend the city this time, Su Yu said. He then pulled out a silver Magic Crystal Card bearing an amount of 100,000, Take this money and buy some oranges ooops buy some equipment and potions for your fellows. However, [The range is the truth] didnt ept the card and instead stepped back, No, we cant take your money. Go ahead, its just a small token. Su Yu misinterpreted [The range is the truth]s politeness, and continued to offer the Magic Crystal Card. No, seriously, we cant take this money. [The range is the truth] used his [Backward Jump] ability, leaping three meters away from Su Yu. He saluted Su Yu and said in a serious tone, Boss Ke, I know about your deeds in Yunlu Mountain and Lingwu Mountain. Youve contributed so much for humanity. Compared to your sacrifices, this little favor means nothing. Seeing that [The range is the truth] was serious, Su Yu didnt insist anymore and took back the Magic Crystal Card, If you really dont want it, then forget it . But Su Yu also reminded him, Remember one thing: although Ive made some minor contributions offline, to achieve ultimate victory in this war, we need thebined effort of all humanity, not just one or two heroes. And as a leading department, you have the ability to mobilize society as a whole. Make sure you utilize this ability effectively, alright? [The range is the truth] seemed to have a sudden epiphany. He stood on the spot, stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought. After a short while, it seemed as though he suddenly understood something and eximed, Right, what we should do is indeed to unite the whole societys force, instead of keeping the existence of the Skuru people a secret. I will log off now and alert old Mr. Zhong about it. Thanks for the reminder! After speaking, [The range is the truth] logged out, his figure disappearing on the spot. Su Yu: From the sound of it, [The range is the truth] nned to unveil the existence of the Skuru people to unite the worlds force in light of the crisis. But announcing it right now will certainly cause widespread panic and unrest all over the world. Its probably not the best time. Well, lets leave that headache to the governments top brass, Su Yu shook his head and walked towards the city hall. From the loot storage box in the city hall, Su Yu imed his rewards for the monster siege: [Wood] X4000, [Iron] X600, various NPC weapons and equipment, and [Glory of the City Defender] X2. [Glory of the City Defender (Special Item)] Talent essory for Territory Effect: Upon equipping, it binds and changes a talents quality to [Rare] Su Yu had received this essory of [Glory of the City Defender] before. He had used it to elevate the quality of the old carpenter, Brooke and the housekeeper, Kole, to rare. He didnt expect to get two more now. So, who should I give these two essories to? Su Yu pondered. If we consider it from the perspective of territorial construction, it is best to use these two essories to upgrade a carpenter or mason who has good architectural skills. However, recently, due to the frequent monster invasions in the territory and the uncertain factor of the Orleans Citys master, Su Yu believes its necessary to enhance the armed forces of the territory. These two artifacts should be given to that father and daughter duo! After making the decision, Su Yu walks out of the town hall. At a construction site on the east side of the town hall, Su Yu finds the father and daughter hes been looking for, Moke and Kathy. Moke and his daughter Kathy were among the first refugees in this territory. They arrived at the same time as old carpenter Brooke, and at that time, Moke had led those refugees. Moke possesses a warriors attributes, while his daughter Kathy being gifted with a mages. However, ever since the territory hascked a decent military team, theyve been earning their wages by working at the construction site. Seeing Su Yu arrive, both are pleasantly surprised. Lord, we did not expect that you would remember us. Moke awkwardly stood before Su Yu, wiping his sweat with his muddy sleeves. Kathy, too, nervously hid behind her father. Of course, I remember you all. Youre among the first citizens who arrived in my territory. Why would I forget about you? Su Yu offers them a kindly smile. Then, he takes out two artifacts from his bag, cing them before each, Theres no need for me to borate about these two artifacts. I intend to grant them to you. Are you prepared to ept them? Seeing the artifacts, both Moke and his daughter Kathy were quite astonished. They were well aware of the effects of these artifacts. After the old carpenter Brooke had put on his artifact, he was immediately upgraded from an ordinary carpenter to a master carpenter, instantly elevating his status, which ignited their envy for a long time. They hadnt expected they would get such an opportunity! Without a second thought, Moke kneels before Su Yu, My lord, I, Moke, am willing to follow you until my death! Excellent! Su Yu nods, personally handing over one of the artifacts to him. Once the ornament is worn, a formidable force surges within Moke. His muscles expand and inte, his physique undergoing some gripping transformations under this energy influx. Su Yu silently observes the changes in Moke. During the process of this evolution, a great level of ck impurities are expelled from his body. His skin bes fairer, his figure extraordinarily robust, he even grew taller by three to four centimeters. After the evolution waspleted, Mokes attributes had be: [Moke] Level: 10 Quality: Rare upation: Protection Warrior Attribute 1:[Defensive Stance]: When defending against enemy attacks, full attributes +40% Attribute 2: [te Armor Expert]: When wearing te armor, defense +20%, abnormal resistance +20%. Attribute 3: [Defense Dominance]: Defense +20%; when attacking, inflicts damage equivalent to 50% of the defense. A decent protection warrior was thus born. ps:Im sorry, today I was forced to entertain clients with a drink again, resulting in only one update. However, as I did two days ago, the missing update will bepensated tomorrow. I hope everyone understands and pardons me. Chapter 203: 203, Lolita Development_1 Chapter 203: Lolita Development_1 Trantor: 549690339 As a Tank, Moke had three traits that added nicely to his defenses, and the third even transformed his defensive values into concrete damage. He had both durability and punch, leaving Su Yu very satisfied. After Moke finished leveling up, Su Yu turned to look at the little girl Kathy, standing behind him. Kathy, would you like to ept this charm and fight alongside your father? Kathy didnt immediately respond but sought her fathers opinion with a nce. Moke looked taken aback and then showed a troubled expression, My Lord, Kathy is only 12 years old. Perhaps she could serve you in a few more years After receiving such a great favor from Su Yu, even if Su Yu ordered Moke on a mission with certain death, he wouldnt bat an eyelid. But if he was asked to let his 12-year-old daughter join the army, Moke naturally didnt want to agree as a father. No, no, youre mistaken. 12-years-old is the best age for education. Su Yu declined with a smile, And to be honest, its Kathys talent that prompted me to level up both of you. Kathys initial trait was [Elemental Sensitivity]: Meditation Efficiency+35%. Meditation Efficiency is the embodiment of a Mages talent. The Meditation Efficiency of a typical mage ranges from 5%-20%. However, Kathys Meditation Efficiency value reached an impressive 35%, fullyparable to some excellent or even rare Mages. Her foundation was extraordinary! This was Su Yus reason for visiting the father and daughter. Of course, Kathy also had beautiful brown hair and a delicate, adorable face. Having a cute little girl around was always more pleasant than being surrounded by older men. Kathy is really still young Moke was still hesitating. Im not young anymore, papa! Kathy straightened her small chest with a sh of determination in her eyes. Papa, we would have starved if it werent for the lord. Besides, I believe in him. She briskly walked up to Su Yus side, took the charm, and solemnly pinned it to the front of her clothes. Ah Moke extended a hand, but he eventually didnt stop her. Once Kathy had put on the charm, massive amounts of elemental forces in the air converged towards her small body, purging the impurities in her system, enhancing her talent. In Su Yus view, the number of traits on Kathys attribute panel increased continuously, and the values also continued to rise. Three minutes passed, and the elemental forces dispersed. Kathys formerly sallow, malnourished little face had be pink and soft, delicate as a blown petal. Her brown locks also became glossy and radiant. Finally, her attribute panel solidified: [Kathy] Level: 10 Quality: Rare upation: Elemental Mage Trait 1: [Elemental Sensitivity]: Meditation Efficiency+70%. Trait 2: [Master of Frost Spells]: Frost spell damage+30%, control effects+30%, cooldown time-50%, casting time-50%, mana cost-50%. Trait 3: [Portal Mage (Stage One)]: Open a portal to [Orleans City], must be within 100 kilometers of [Orleans City], a maximum of 5 people can pass through. Cooldown time 2 hours. (Stage Two will be unlocked at level 30.) Seeing Kathys traits, Su Yus eyes lit up. Kathys Meditation Efficiency had increased to 70%, which was not inferiorpared to the epic-ranked talents. For Trait 2, Kathy could follow the path specializing in frost spells, which was convenient for training. As for Trait 3, it was aplete surprise. He hadnt expected Kathy to be a rare Portal Mage! The Portal series of abilities is very rare in Evolution, with very few mages mastering it, probably fewer than one in a thousand. Unexpectedly, Kathy was one of them! In the future, with Kathy, Su Yu wouldnt waste time traveling, saving a lot of effort. Lets go, Kathy. I am going to buy you some snacks, and then we will go and level up. With a soft voice, Su Yu took the little girls hand, preparing to go back to town to buy her some snacks, get her proper gear from the warehouse, and then take her to the forest in the north for leveling. The priority was to swiftly unlock the second stage of [Portal Mage]. My Lord! Moke looked ufortable. Listening to Su Yus tone, Moke wondered if Su Yu was nning to use leveling up as an excuse, inviting his daughter to the forest to do unspeakable things! Shes only 12 years old, you beast! Seeing the furious look on Mokes face, Su Yu knew that he had misunderstood. Youre misunderstanding, Moke, Su Yu rified. All I really want to do is take her to train. Moke remained suspicious. Kathy merely blinked her confused big eyes. What are you two talking about? Never mind. Su Yu shook his head. If I take one person to level up or two, its all the same. Moke, you shoulde too. With that said, Su Yu took Kathy towards the market in town, with Moke hurriedly following behind. In the town market, Su Yu bought some food and water, fetched a batch of suitable gear from the warehouse for the father and daughter, then headed off to a training area in the northern forest to start leveling up. After thend was promoted to a [Town], the number of refugees arriving every two hours doubled, reaching 400 at a time. But the upgrade requirements also increased. To upgrade from a [Small Town] to a [Medium Town] required a total poption of 2,000 people, meaning it required recruiting three waves of refugees. Three waves tranted to six hours. So, in the following six hours, other than returning to the town hall to allocate technology points, Su Yu spent all his time leveling up with Moke and Kathy. The level system of thends talents and the monster invasions monsters were not the same. Monster invasion was based on the current average level of the yers in the game. Due to the influx of arge number of yers, the average level of Evolution was only 3-4 levels now. So, the first wave of invading monsters averaged the lowest levelC10. The level of subsequent waves would increase gradually. The level of thends talents was not based on the average level of the yers; talents could level up by killing monsters or cultivating. In the [Vige] phase, the maximum level of thends talents was 29, the peak of the first stage; After promoting thend to the [Town] phase, the maximum level of thends talents raised to 49, the peak of the second stage. And the leveling speed of thends talents was quite fast, especially those of high quality. At a leveling spot in the forest Su Yu pulled the aggro of groups of wild monsters, bruising the monsters to let the father-daughter duo finish them off. The father and daughter slew one monster after another, rapidly increasing their levels. After six hours of tedious leveling, Moke and Kathys level finally reached 30! Upon reaching level 30, the second stage of Kathys third trait was unlocked. [Portal Mage (Stage Two)]: Open a portal to [Orleans City], [Goldfinch City], [Forest City], [Pearl City] and other southern cities of the Empire, must be within 500 kilometers of these cities. The portal can admit up to 10 people. Cooldown 2 hours. (Stage Three will be unlocked at level 50) Finally unlocked it! Seeing Kathys third trait, Su Yu was very pleased. In the future, with Kathy, Su Yu was like carrying a mobile teleportation portal. He could go anywhere he wanted, very conveniently! Chapter 204: 204, Just marry your daughter to me_1 Chapter 204: Just marry your daughter to me_1 Trantor: 549690339 Lets head back. The new round of monster siege is about to begin, Su Yu looked at Moke and his daughter. Alright, thank you, my lord, for helping us level up! Moke expressed his genuine gratitude. Moke had initially thought that Su Yu brought his daughter into the forest for a sinister purpose. Seeing Su Yu earnestly helping them level up, Mokes great shame set in, he should not have doubted the lord. Youre wee, its what I should do. If you really want to thank me, just perform well in the uing monster siege, Su Yu waved his hand. One of the advantages to leveling up Moke and Kathy to level 30 is, after their second order promotion, their attributes are now higher than the bosses in the monster siege. In the uing monster siege, the two of them can be of great assistance. We will do our best! Moke loudly promised. Su Yu took Moke and his daughter back to Aphix Town. Just as they arrived at the towns entrance, Su Yu managed to catch the game announcement of the next monster siege. However, this round of Monster Siege didnt seem like the previous ones. The announcement read: [Aphix Town] poption exceeds 1200, sessfully upgraded to [Medium-sized Town]. The towns prosperity has attracted the attention of surrounding bandits. In 30 minutes, these bandits will attack Aphix Vige, please be prepared. This time, the attackers C the bandits average level [20], other information unknown. Countdown begins 29:57. Upon seeing the announcement, Su Yu paused. Why did it be a Bandit Attack? In his previous life, territory upgrades were attacked by monsters in the early stages, and only after upgrading to [County Town], would they encounter bandit attacks. He did not expect the bandit attack to happen earlier than expected! The difficulty of a bandit attack is many times higher than a monster siege. After all, the monster siege only entails stupid monsters, while a bandit attack has tricky bandits. The nature of the enemy changes entirely. Shooting is Truth apparently saw the game announcement too and quickly sent a private message: Boss Ke, have you seen the game announcement? Su Yu: Of course, I saw it. I guess, the bandit attack was probably orchestrated by the lord of Orleans city, whom I have offended before. Shooting is Truth: Should we change our defensive strategy? Su Yu: Absolutely. You will lead the elite team to guard the east and west sides of the town and leave the north side to me. Shooting is Truth: Leave it to you? Are you going to defend it yourself? However, this time we are up against level 20 bandits, are you sure you can hold them off on your own? Su Yu: Dont worry! Moreover, it wont just be me defending, Ill have two extra helping hands. Shooting is Truth: Alright then, I respect your decision. After making the decision, the relevant departments started gathering at the walls of the town for preparation. Half an hourter, the fifth monster urately speaking, the first-ever bandit attack officiallymenced. As the countdown ended, the bandits amassed from the forest with dreadful momentum. They were brandishing long knives, howling devilishly. And the bandits were remarkably prepared. Considering the siege, they not only had warriors with huge shields at the front to block spells and arrows, but even had numerous [Catapult], mages, and archers in the back. The [Catapult] hurled giant ming rocks into the densely packed formation of the relevant department, each hit taking out more than a dozen people. The high-level spells of the bandit mages and the arrows of the bandit archers rained down, sparking an intense outburst of white light. As soon as the battlemenced, Shooting is Truth realized that the enemys long-range firepower was superior. If they continued like this, they wouldntst long under the covering fire of the enemy and would bepletely eliminated. So he issued an order: All troops, charge! Charge! The warriors yelledmands, advancing one after another in a meleebat with the enemy. After the melee began, the bandits long-range firepower became ineffective, the relevant departments relying on their superior equipment, skills, and coordination, gained the upper hand. Eventually, the bandits were entirely annihted in the fierce brawl. As for the northern side of the town, where Su Yu was, the battlefield was rather uneventful. For Su Yu, killing these level 20 bandits was no different than killing level 14 monsters. Given his 11-level suppression of the bandits, only a quarter of his group spell could instantly wipe out these bandits. So under the coverage ofrge-scale range spells, these bandits fell in swathes, providing almost no resistance to him. Furthermore, Su Yu cleverly controlled the damage output, ensuring his area spells reduced each bandits health to a sliver before letting Moke and Kathy deal the killing blow. Moke and Kathy greatly benefitted from this. They each used their group attack skills to finish off the bandits on low health, their experience points increasing steadily! By the end of the battle, after jointly killing over 700 bandits, they both gained 5 levels, reaching level 35. Thank you, my lord!, after the battle, Moke half knelt down leaning on his sword, expressing his gratitude towards Su Yu. No need for thanks, its my duty as Ive said before, Su Yu brushed it off. But, its not time for you two to rest, Su Yu looked at Moke and Kathy, I am taking you somewhere, be prepared. My lord, where are we going? Kathy asked cautiously. We are heading to Schrs Temple in Goldfinch city. Kathy, there you can learn some new ice-based skills, Su Yu gently rubbed the little girls head. He then turned to Moke, Moke, you can also go to the Warriors Guild in Goldfinch City to learn new skills. After learning the skills, Ill take you both to Goldfinch Citys market to buy a set of second stage equipment. Actually, Su Yu visiting the [Schrs Temple] is not solely for learning new skills. He wishes to gather reinforcements with the help of his contacts at [Schrs Temple], which may prove crucial in future battles. Helping Moke and his daughter to buy equipment and learn skills was a minor side issue. Nheless, Moke and his daughter were visibly excited. Moke, stirred with emotion, said, Thank you, my lord, for doing so much for us. I dont know how to repay you! If you want to repay me, just marry your daughter to me, Su Yu joked, Later, you can call me brother, and Ill call you dad, lets keep to our own affairs. The color drained from Mokes face: ???!!! Just kidding! Su Yuughed and patted his shoulder, I have to go back to my territory to handle some private affairs. Ill notify you guyster and well go to Goldfinch City together. After he finished speaking, Su Yu activated the Hearthstone and disappeared into the white light. After the bandit attack, Shooting is truths Elite team didnt stick around like the previous time and directly left Su Yus territory. Shooting is Truth, like thest time, went to find Su Yu in the town. How are our casualties? Su Yu promptly greeted him as he arrived in the towns central square. Ai, we suffered heavy casualties this time! Shooting is Truth had a bitter smile on his face, We lost a total of 327 people, we managed to win only after almost half of our members died. Shooting is Truth clearly didnt expect this round of attack to be so challenging. The previous level 20 monster siege cost them only a dozen people, but this time it cost them over 300! The bandits are indeed much harder to deal with than mere monsters! Chapter 205: 205, The Final Battle Nine Days Later (Additional Updates)_1 Chapter 205: The Final Battle Nine Days Later (Additional Updates)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Dont worry. Su Yuforted, Red-Eyed ck Dragon will be bringing people for the next wave of the city defense, which will greatly lessen the pressure on your side. Also, Ill have Swift construct more defensive buildings within the territory. Well try to hold at least two more waves with our yers strength. Two more waves The principle of Range is Truth mused. After calcting, he nodded and said, We yers can hold at most two more waves. After that, the level of monsters in the eighth wave will be 28. We, who are only at the teens level, will not be able to hold on. Oh, Boss Ke, have you thought about how youre going to deal with the fourth wave of attack when your territory is promoted to the [County town] stage? I have some thoughts. I should be able to deal with it with my connections. Su Yu replied. Thats good. The principle of Range is Truth sighed a breath of relief. We dont know when the next yer territory will be born, but we hope to witness the birth of the first yer city under your care! Thanks for the good words. Su Yu looked at his bnce of spiritual energy coins and gave a confident smile. For the next 9 days, Su Yu stayed within his territory, focusing on construction, organizing defense against monster and bandit invasions, until his territory was promoted to [Small City]. In terms of construction. Over these 9 days, the [Yulon Heavenly Altar of the Praying Year] was running at full capacity, burning through 19 million spiritual energy coins every day to maintain the buff. Thanks to the powerful buff and unlimited resources and spiritual energy coins, Aphi visibly transformed from a small vige into a city of decent scale with a poption of 100,000. In the city, all sorts of buildings, whether they were functional ones,mercial ones or entertainment ones, were readily avable. The overallyout of the city was rational, with convenient transport, and the citizens were happy. So after being promoted to [Small City], the citys prosperity is as high as [78], and its livability is at [67], which is brilliantly maintained. As for countering the monster and bandit attacks. The sixth wave,which was the city defense when the territory was promoted to rge town], was fought with the support of the relevant guilds and Emperor Blood ys the Sky guild; The seventh wave city defense battle, apart from the above two guilds, Su Yu also called on the Elite Teams from Mu Yun guild, Across the Four Seas guild. Relying on many [Fortress] buildings constructed outside the territory, after losing about 70% of their forces, they narrowly achieved victory. After the seventh wave, the yers stepped down and it was time for the NPCs to take the stage. During the eighth wave of city defense, the average level of bandits has reached level 28, and Su Yu called for reinforcements from the Orleans town lord, 500 elite soldiers who arrived in time to participate in the battle. These elite soldiers were all generally at either the peak of Tier 2 or at Tier 3, and it was not an exaggeration to say they fought one against ten or even one against hundred while battling the Tier 1 bandits! After driving more than 3000 bandits back into the mountains, the 500 elite soldiers suffered only a little over twenty casualties, a near-perfect victory! The ninth wave of city defense was also handled by these 500 elite soldiers, and currently, the territory has been promoted to [Medium-sized County Town]. However, this wave of bandits is different from the previous ones! The average level of this wave of bandits has reached level 30. Level 30 is a critical point, it means most of the bandits have shifted from the first tier to the second tier, increasing their overall strength by 3-5 times. Therefore, this wave of bandits caused significant casualties among the 500 elite soldiers, with about 100 soldiers dead or heavily injured, a 20% decrease in overallbat strength. Facing such a critical situation, Su Yu went to the Unicorn camp to seek help from Tina. To Tina, Su Yus business was her business. That afternoon, Tina, apanied by little fangirl Fiona and 500 Unicorn Knights, set out to aid Su Yus territory. With the aid of Tina and the Unicorn Knights, the tenth and eleventh wave of city defense proceeded smoothly. Finally, Aphi was about to face its twelfth wave of city defense, which was also the final battle. However, this city defense battle was different from the previous 11 waves. The game announcement went like this: [Aphi] has a poption of 100,000 and has sessfully been promoted to [Small City]. Your actions have deeply dissatisfied Philip Strelive, Count of Falling Moon Town. In 30 minutes, Count Philip will lead his army to attack your territory, take notice of your defense. All the previous 11 waves were either monster sieges or bandit invasions, but this time it was an NPC army that initiated the conflict! Falling Moon Town is located 20 kilometers directly south of Aphi city, by the sea, and is a crucial coastal town of Orleans City. More than 90% of the marine trade of Orleans City passes through Falling Moon Town, so although it is a Town, its prosperity surpasses that of Orleans. Count Philip of Falling Moon Town is exceedingly wealthy, owning a private army of 2000. And now, hes knocking at the door with his private army. Half an hourter, Count Philips army was gradually approaching the city gate of Aphi. Along the city walls on either side of the gate, Su Yu and the other yers were preparing for a tough fight. This attack by Count Philips army can be considered thest hurdle. If we cross it, the future will be bright! But if we fail to cross it Su Yu turned his head to look at Tina beside him, Tina, were counting on you this time. Remember what I told you. Hmm. Tina nodded, then soared up from the city wall, flying straight for Count Philips army. When she reached above the enemys army, Tina stopped. She saw that from among the enemys ranks, a mage dressed in a fancy red robe flew up from next to the Count,ing towards her. Tina didnt know this fifth-tier fire mage, but it was clear that he was the powerful enemy the Count had brought to deal with her. Tina ignored this fire mage and instead coldly set her gaze on Count Philip on the ground: Philip Strelive! As a colleague of the Empire, why do you attack Nemesis territory? Besides, you didnt dere war two weeks prior to the attack, which is a severe vition of the rules of the game among nobles! I hope you will withdraw your troops immediately. I and Nemesis will act as if this never happened. Otherwise youll be responsible for the consequences! Tinas powerful and resonant speech made the momentum of the Falling Moon Town soldiers falter. Withdraw troops? The rather plump Count Philip sneered, First of all, in Orleans City, we dont have to follow those useless rules of the game. Winners take all in Orleans City! Secondly, the reason I brought my troops here is that the things done by Nemesis have infringed upon the interests of Falling Moon Town. If Nemesis agrees to one condition of mine, Ill withdraw my troops immediately! Whats the condition? Su Yu asked from atop the city wall, staying calm. Chapter 206: 206, The Battle of Aphi (I)_1 Chapter 206: The Battle of Aphi (I)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Are you Nemesis? At the forefront of the Falling Moon Town army, Count Philip tightened the reins of his steed and looked up at Su Yu who stood on the city wall. At the same time, he waved his hand backward, signaling the army to halt temporarily. Obeying the instruction of their highestmander, therge force behind him stopped. Under the direction of various officers, they adjusted their formation, preparing for a siege. Su Yu leaped down from the wall over eight meters high, using his sh Skill tond softly. He slowly approached Count Philip. Thats right, I am Nemesis. And what conditions would the Count like to set? Nemesis, raised his whip and pointed at Su Yu arrogantly, I heard that you n to develop a deep-water port along the northeastern coast of Aphi City. Is that true? Yes, and the development of the deep-water port is already underway. Is there a problem? A coastal city must have a high-quality deep-water port for maritime trade. Moreover, in the next update, Orleans City and the Wind Chime Empires Demacia State will be opening a Golden Route. A perfect opportunity for investment. So, Su Yu has already started nning andying out his strategy in advance. Since you admit this, herees my condition, Count Philip smirkingly addressed him, My condition is: halt the development of the deep-water port in your territory. In addition, youll sign a magic contract with me, pledging that your territory will never engage in maritime trade. The moment you sign the contract, my forces will retreat immediately! Huff, by whose authority? Su Yuughed. He chose his territory by the sea specifically to profit from maritime trade. Now they expect him to renounce maritime trade forever? Isnt that a mere daydream? By the authority of the mighty army and the livelihood of eight thousand dock workers of Falling Moon Town! Count Philip responded righteous and unyielding, More than 90% of Orleans Citys maritime trade passes through Falling Moon Town. This also constitutes the livelihood of countless residents. Now, you are developing a new port, which will certainly take away a portion of Falling Moon Towns maritime trade. How many dock workers will lose their jobs as a result? How many residents will be left starving, homeless, and disced? Have you thought about these issues? Upon hearing Count Philips words, his soldiers began looking at him with newfound respect. Soldiers originally had a poor image of the Count due to his oppressive rule. But seeing him now, considering the livelihood of thousands of dock workers, was touching to all the soldiers around. The Count is right. My uncle works at the docks, and he has three children. If he loses his job, what will happen to his family? The affluence of Falling Moon Townes from its reliance on sea transportation. How can we let others take a piece of the pie? Right! For the sake of Falling Moon Town, we cant let the new port grow and prosper! For Falling Moon Town! The soldiers shouted out slogans, boosting morale among the troops. Moreover, Count Philips performance was not over yet. He stared coldly at Tina, floating in mid-air, and said, Tina Garcia, your Unicorn Knights have no right to participate in the dispute between lords. I advise you to leave now, otherwise I will report your actions to the highest military court in Orleans City! Are you telling me what to do? Tina unsheathed her sword in fury. She had learned this phrase from Nemesis and it felt like the opportune moment to use it. Just then, a faint voice echoed from the walls of Aphi city, I am Kilofucha Francis. Your Excellency Tina, we indeed do not have the right to participate in the dispute between lords. My apologies, Your Excellency Nemesis. I and my 300 guards from the city lords manor will not participate in this conflict. After Kilofucha Francis finished speaking, he waved his hand and over three hundred elite soldiers exited the city wall. Arge gap immediately appeared on the Aphi City wall. Seeing this scene, the morale of the soldiers of Falling Moon Town skyrocketed. Many soldiers became eager to charge and take over the city. . The intimidating demeanor of Count Philip, the strong army of Falling Moon Town, the majestic figure of Tina in mid-air, the betrayal of Kilofucha Francis All these scenes were transmitted to numerous live streaming tforms through the cameras of multiple hosts atop the city wall. The most popr online tforms were all about this city defense war. And since this is thest and most challenging city defense battle, it attracted a huge crowd. Various live streams were filled with discussions as everyone posted their views, No wonder the Lord of Falling Moon Town came to attack. It turns out that Boss Ke took their cake. Cant deny, that Razor Count knows how to rally peoples hearts. His troops morale is high. Kilofucha Francis suddenly turned on Boss Ke, its dangerous for him now! Come on, Boss Ke! Dont fall behind at thest hurdle. Go, Boss Ke! . Su Yu was well aware that the wholework was currently paying attention to this city defense battle. As for Kilofucha Franciss sudden betrayal, Su Yu was not surprised. After all, Francis was one of the city lords guards and Su Yu had severely offended lord ude. If Francis didnt stir something up at this crucial moment, thatd be a real surprise! Out of respect, Su Yu still loudly, Mr. Francis, I do not mind your non-participation in this conflict. I appreciate your help in defending against the previous bandit attacks. Then, he turns to Count Philip, As for Your highness, the Count here. To my knowledge, life is very tough for the dockworkers of Falling Moon Town. They have to work long hours for very little pay. You profiteer at their cost and, now, you suddenly stand up for them? If you are really concerned about the unemployment of these dock workers, heres a solution. You can let these dock workerse to my territory. I will give each family a settling fee of 50,000 spiritual energy coins. Furthermore, I guarantee them jobs with a sry at least 1.5 times the one they get in Falling Moon Town. Is that satisfactory enough for you? The moment Su Yu stopped speaking, there were gasps of amazement from within the army of Falling Moon Town. The morale of the soldiers, which had just gathered, began waning drastically. They eagerly started discussing amongst themselves. 50,000 spiritual energy coins? Did I hear that right? Dockworkers generally earn around 400-600 spiritual energy coins a month. 50,000 spiritual energy coins are equivalent to their ie of seven or eight years! The settlement fee is too high! I regret not being a dockworker. Is this Su Yu fellow just saying that to trick us? Hearing the doubts these soldiers had, Su Yu immediately assured them loudly, I can guarantee, with my identity as Princesss Special Envoy, that there are no false promises! With this, he disyed the golden token given by the Princess and held it up high for all soldiers from Falling Moon Town to see. Chapter 207: 207, Battle of Aphi (Part 2)_1 Chapter 207: Battle of Aphi (Part 2)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon observing Su Yus actions, Tina, floating in the sky, understood immediately. She also took out the gemstone ring given to her by Evan Goldsparrow and loudly announced to the army of Falling Moon Town: This is the ring conferred upon me by the defender deity of the Empire, Lord Evan Goldsparrow. I can vouch for Nemesis words as the captain of the Unicorn Knights. And I will ensure he keeps his promise. Hearing this, the soldiers of Falling Moon Town exchanged nces, their initially gathered will to fight instantly waned. Moreover, Su Yu took advantage of the situation, adding: The resettlement benefits are not only for dock workers but also apply to everyone here! If any of you wish to relocate to mynd, my domain wees you all. Furthermore, I can provide each family with 80,000 spiritual energy coins as relocation allowance, doubled for the second-order powerful ones, and five times for the third-order ones. I will not break my word! 80,000 spiritual energy coins?! Disturbance urred among the Falling Moon Town army. The wages of the soldiers of Falling Moon Town were slightly higher than those of the dock workers, but it ranged only between 800 and 1000 spiritual energy coins per month. 80,000 spiritual energy coins were basically equivalent to their total earnings of seven years! Moreover, soldier was a high-risk job; one might be alive and bouncing today but could turn up dead tomorrow. Nobody dared to wish for an eight-year future. Therefore, upon hearing Su Yus promise, many soldiers started to wonder: Shall I find a way to move to this city? 80,000 spiritual energy coins is quite a lot! I must figure out a way to get it. Shall I ck off when the city is under attackter? If Boss Ke sees me fiercely killing a lot of people, will he reject my relocation proposal? Shall I feign death somewhere once the siege starts? The soldiers started thinking along these lines, and naturally, the will and morale of the Falling Moon Town army plunged. In all the major live broadcast rooms offline. Watching Su Yus performance, the barrage of messages started to flood the screen: Boss Ke is squandering money again! If I were the opposing foot soldier, I might be tempted! Boss Ke is seriously spending money like theres no tomorrow. With 80,000 spiritual energy coins per person, if all these two thousand people immigrate, wouldnt he have to spend 1 billion and 600 million spiritual energy coins?! Do you think Boss Ke is dumb! He must have added some migration restrictions. He wouldnt just let anyone move. And maybe hell pay the relocation allowance in installments, like 1,000 a month for 8 years, Boss Ke didnt say that he will pay it all at once. This crappy game might even be closed down after 8 years. Regardless, Count Razor should be dumbfounded by now, how could he run into such a wealthy opponent? Just as theizens had thought, in the game, Baron Philip looked incredibly displeased. Su Yus words drastically lowered the morale and fighting spirit of his troops, but he had no means of counteracting this. Spend money against Su Yu? No, he couldnt afford it. He couldnt extract such a sum of spiritual energy coins. So what could be done? Baron Philip felt somewhat helpless. However, he was aware that he couldnt wait any longer. While the fighting spirit of the army hadnt hit rock bottom yet, he must dere war now! Therefore, he gave his deputy an order: Sound the drum, march forward! Yes, sir! The deputy immediately ryed the order. The order to attack was swiftly conveyed to the entire army. The soldiers of Falling Moon Town mechanically picked up their weapons, started marching, and prepared for the siege. In the back ranks of the army, catapults were being assembled, andrge stones were hurled toward the walls of Aphi City. Under the soldiers push, siege hammers slowly approached the gates of Aphi City. However, due to the promise of 80,000 spiritual energy coins made by Su Yu, the actions of nearly all soldiers became dyed to varying degrees, bingcklustre,pletely losing their sharpness. Four guards had been following Count Philip all along. After the start of the war, the Count turned to these four guards and said, Its your turn now. Capture Tina Garcia, there will be a huge reward! Yes, Count Philip. The four guards responded at the same time. Then they simultaneously tore off their disguises, with their high-ranking armor and magic robes revealed. Next, they leaped from horseback, four powerful beings flew high into the sky together. These four were actually all fifth-ranked powerhouses! In addition to the Pyro Mage of the fifth rank from just now, Tina was facing five by herself, the surrounding environment suddenly became extremely dangerous. Captain, be careful! A beautiful silver figure quickly flew over from the nearby city wall, holding a noble short sword in a defensive position next to Tina, it was Fiona who came along with Tina. Tina nodded at Fiona, looking solemnly at the approaching five powerhouses. Among these five powerhouses, two were mages, two were warriors, and thest one was an archer. Based only on her and Fiona, they may not be their match. Nemesis, catch! Tina executed the skill [Tina Garcias Blessing]. A faint golden halo flew from her hand and blessed Su Yu. With the halos blessing, Su Yu quickly attained the same level as Tina, bing a temporary fifth-ranked powerhouse. Fiona, you and Nemesis each handle one, leave the rest to me! Tina looked at the five foes in front of her, and her fighting spirit red. As heavens favored daughter, Tina had never experienced one against three before. Today, it would be granted, and she prepared to strike them all down! The long sword in Tinas hand was emitting a dazzling golden light as she actively approached the five powerful foes. It was as if she wasnt surrounded by these five powerhouses, but rather she was surrounding them. Regarding the five fifth-ranked opponents, they exchanged nces, then the two mages began to recite spells preparing to release their magic. The archer also raised his longbow, aiming at the rising Su Yu, and prepared to take him out with a swift attack. But Su Yu didnt panic, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Why are you smiling? Seeing Su Yus smile, Count Philip suddenly had a bad feeling. You sent five fifth-ranked powerhouses this time to outnumber us, correct? What a coincidence! We have the same idea! Su Yu sneered, opened his private chat interface to message Swift, Have Kathy bring five fifth-ranked powerhouses here. Understood! Swift replied. Swifts current location wasnt Aphi City, but Goldsparrow Citys Schrs Temple. Having received Su Yus message, she quickly looked at Kathy and the person in charge of the Schrs TempleHaimleke, Kathy, Lord Haimleke, Nemesis needs the support of five fifth-ranked powerhouses! Understood! Kathy crisply replied. During these nine days, Kathy and her father Moke often spent their time leveling diligently in variousrge wilderness areas. In addition to therge amount of experience gained during the Bandit Invasion, Kathys level had now reached level 54 and was a genuine third-ranked mage. Upon hearing Swifts words, Kathy didnt hesitate to start casting the [Teleportation Portal] spell. Hum Apanied by a faint hum, a tranquil blue teleportation portal appeared in front of her, with faint blue rays of magic light filling the entire room. Chapter 208: 208, The Battle of Aphi City (III)_1 Chapter 208: The Battle of Aphi City (III)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Link, Joslin, Andre, Carson, the five of us will set off! Haimleke looked back at the four grand magicians. Understood. The four grand magicians stepped out of the crowd, following Haimleke into the teleportation circle. In the open space in front of the west gate of Aphi city. Hum A deep blue teleportation door opened here. With Haimleke leading the way, the 5 grand magicians stepped out, soaring high, and started proceeding towards Su Yu and Tinas position to support them. Count Philip almost had a heart attack when he saw the five flying figures. Damn it! Five fifth-grade powerhouses, where did Nemesis find these reinforcements?! A moment ago, Philip thought Nemesis was resolutely resisting like a clown. Now, he suddenly realized that the clown seemed to be not Nemesis, but himself. Haimleke yelled to Su Yu from far away: Brother Nemesis, we are here! We are not toote, are we? Of course its not toote, the battle has not yet started. Su Yu smiled and waved at him: Let me introduce you, this is Count Philip of Falling Moon Town; Count Philip, this is Haimleke of the Schrs Temple. Su Yus tone was like a normal chat between friends, introducing them to each other. But Count Philips face became especially grim, he roared at Haimleke: Haimleke, this is a dispute between noble lords, how dare you, the Schrs Temple, intervene conspicuously? Arent you afraid of being boycotted by the entire nobility? Haimlekes face did not change, shrugging: We actually didnt want to interfere, but unfortunately Nemesis gave too many spiritual energy coins. Then he instructed the ones behind him: Dont bother talking to them, hurry up and take action, so we can go back to read a book. Alright. The other four grand magicians nodded one after another, and began casting spells. The expressions on the faces of the five 5th-grade powerhouses from Falling Moon Town were also ugly. Now its 5 against 8, they are absolutely at a disadvantage in numbers, and the enemy has a monster like Tina, who can fight three alone, how can they fight? Noticing that the grand magicians from the Schrs Temple began to cast spells simultaneously, the five powerhouses looked at each other quickly and made a decision C retreat! The five didnt hesitate and immediately fled towards Orleans City to the west, and in an instant, they disappeared into the horizon. Su Yu and the others did not n to chase. Once the enemys five powerhouses fled, the armies below becamembs to the ughter. Haimleke and the other grand magicians gathered their magic power quickly, preparing to paralyze the army below with an area spell. Everyone, wait a minute, let me try to persuade them to surrender first. After speaking to the grand magicians, Su Yu shouted to the Moonlight Towns forces below: The fifth-grade powerhouses fighting for you have all run away, and we still have a total of eight fifth-grade powerhouses here! Im ordering you to drop your weapons and surrender immediately! I will count to ten. If you do not surrender by then, you only have one fate C death! Ten! Nine! The soldiers of Moonlight Town, of course, were well aware of the situation overhead, feeling the tumultuous spiritual energy fluctuations in the hands of the five grand magicians, each of them felt their scalp tingle. I surrender! I surrender too! Please, dont kill me! I surrender too! One after another, the soldiers dropped their weapons to surrender. And this mood was contagious, once someone surrendered, it often led to those around him to follow suit. Three! Two! One! Zero! Su Yu had finished the countdown. By now, except for Count Philip and his loyal guards, all the remaining soldiers had basically surrendered and knelt on the ground. Count Philips face was livid as he watched everything unfold. But he was powerless, he was only a level three and couldnt even escape. Philip, arent you going to surrender? Su Yu, holding the [Sorrow of Fungus], pointed at him. Hmph! Philip huffed, intending to y the martyr. Tina, kill him! Su Yu said coldly. Okie dokie! A golden streak shot across the sky as Tina approached the Count quickly, her longsword glowing so intensively under the sun that no one dared to look directly at it. It seemed as if she was really going to kill him. Stop! Stop! Stop! I surrender! Isnt my surrender enough? Count Philip tumbled down from his horse, pleading on his knees with a smile on his face. His personal guards also quickly fell to their knees alongside their lord, and only then did Tina retract her longsword. As the war was about to end in Su Yusplete victory, Captain Francis in the city became frantic! This time, when Count Philip led his troops to attack Su Yus territories, he wasnt acting on his own ord. Behind the scenes, Lord ude of Orleans City was pulling the strings. The four level-five powerhouses who had been pretending to be guards around Count Philip were troops that Lord ude had sent to support him. Lord ude had only two objectives: First, to raze Su Yus territory; Second, to kill Tina Garcia. But now that Nemesis had actually called for reinforcements from the Schrs Temple, the situation had quickly taken a turn for the worse. Given that both his objectives were at risk of failing, how could he not be anxious? However, Francis suddenly remembered something: When he left Orleans City, Lord ude had personally given him a firework tube, telling him to light it in a critical moment. Since it was obviously a critical moment now, Francis quickly ordered his aide to find the firework tube in the supply carriage. WhizzPop! The firework tube was lit, and a firework shot straight into the sky, exploding in the air and causing quite amotion. Due to it being daytime, people below didnt see the dazzling disy of fireworks, they were simply attracted by the booming noise of the explosion, and turned to look towards it. At the same moment that the firework exploded, all the yers within the city received a system notification: The Lord of Orleans City, [ude Strathrow], personally leads an elite force of 3000 soldiers to join the war. Please prepare for defense. What? Im not seeing things, am I? Theres a second siege? The Lord of Orleans City? Thats a big shot! The enemys power has doubled, can Boss Ke still hold on? Dont worry, Boss Ke certainly has the winning hand. The yers were all talking at once. At the end of the road on the west side of Aphi city, dust was stirring, and it was clear that the lords army was rapidly closing in on Aphi city. At the same time, nine small ck dots appeared in the sky in the west. These were nine powerhouses who could fly in the sky. Among these nine powerhouses, five were the ones who had run away just now. Of the remaining four, one was ude, the Lord of Orleans City, and the other three were his subordinates. Lord ude only had these eight level five powerhouses under him in total, and this time he had brought all of them, with the aim of killing Tina Garcia toplete the task given to him by that influential figure. The army of 3000 below him was also the most elite force he had, he intended to go all in in one fell swoop! Tina watched as the rapidly approaching Lordsrge army, a deep worry crossed her face, Nemesis, what do we do? Lord ude is a level six powerhouse, none of us can take him on. Tina turned her head to look at the others. But she was surprised to find that Su Yu and the others from the Schrs Temple were all rxed, which struck her as odd: What? Arent any of you worried? Of course not, because we still have reinforcements! Su Yu smiled. Su Yu sent a private message to [Nuclear Waste Water]: Nuclear Waste Water, have Lord Alex and Lady Camie over! Chapter 209: 209, Battle of Aphi City (Part 4) (Supplementary Update)_1 Chapter 209: Battle of Aphi City (Part 4) (Supplementary Update)_1 Trantor: 549690339 In the center of Aphi city square. A very crude wooden building is erected right in the center of the square. Half a minute after Su Yu sent a private message, this wooden building suddenly crumbled into dust, the dust scattering outward. Two figures, one red and one blue, flew out from the crumbled dust and headed in the direction of Su Yu and Tina. These two figures were none other than the Lord Alex and Lady Cami whom Su Yu had mentioned. They were both Sanctuary Mages of the [Schrs Temple]. After the two Sanctuary warriors left, nearby yers were amazed to discover C under the crumbled wooden building, a teleportation array was exposed to the air, emitting a brilliant magical glow. This is a medium-sized teleportation array. Through this array, yers and NPCs can teleport to the various major cities of the Empire. Su Yu began nning to construct this teleportation array after the 25th round of the Tina storyline ended. In the 25th round of the Tina storyline, the Empires guardian god Kevin Forsythia left Orleans City and wouldnt being back anytime soon. This resulted in a serious problem: In the past, Su Yu wasnt afraid of antagonizing the city lord ude, since the guardian god was present. So hed provoked Tina into killing the city lords uncle, obtaining the blueprint for the [Auction House], while also providing funding for Tinas subsequent reforms. But now the guardian god is gone. The guardian god could pat his buttocks and leave casually, but Su Yus territory was located in Orleans City! With just a toe, he could figure out that ude would definitely target their territory, it wouldnt even be strange if he personally led troops to attack their territory. And indeed, as hed guessed, ude really did send troops to attack his territory. After the 25th round of the Tina storyline ended, to counter udes uing n, Su Yu thought upon his force C the [Schrs Temple]. The Schrs Temple had three 6th-level Sanctuary warriors and approximately thirty to forty 5th-level warriors. Their elitebat strength was superior to that of the Orleans City lords manor. If they had their support, Su Yu wouldnt be afraid of ude attacking his territory. But the Schrs Temple was based in Forsythia City, it couldnt reach as far as Orleans City, so Su Yu began nning to build a teleportation array. At that time, Tina still hadnt upgraded her quality and didnt know the [Teleportation Portal] skill. Then, Su Yu arranged arge number of hidden tasks for the [Neon Nuclear Wastewater] five-person team. Half of these hidden tasks were to elevate their equipment and skills; the other half were almost all rted to prerequisites for the teleportation array. In the end it was [Godzi, the Neon Average] who was lucky. Godzi handled the sultry female NPC [Jenna] with a powerful kiss, raising her affection to [Enthusiasm stage]. After a part of the indecent storyline, Godzi found a [teleportation array blueprint] under Jennas bed storage box. With the teleportation scroll triumphantly in hand, Su Yu rewarded their five-person team with a bonus of 100,000 spiritual energy coins! But Su Yu asked them to keep it quiet. After the construction blueprint was obtained, Su Yu personally went to Pearl City to buy the materials needed for the teleportation array and let little Kathy and the magic craftsmen work overnight. He even asked the old carpenter Brooke to build a crude wooden shelter over the teleportation array. After all these measures, apart from Su Yu and the Nuclear Wastewater team, no one else knew about the existence of the teleportation array. This maximized the secrecy of the teleportation array to ensure it wouldnt be leaked, and wouldnt reach city lord udes ears. It was not until now, when Alex and Cami, the two Sanctuary powerhouses, smashed the wooden structure and flew out, revealing the teleportation array underneath, that the yers understood: Oh! So under this crude wooden structure, there is actually a hidden teleportation array! . Alex and Cami moved quickly, their blue and red figures reaching Su Yus location in an instant. The five members of Haimleke hurriedly saluted the two. Honorable Alex and Honorable Cami, wee. Su Yu also respectfully saluted them and added, Thank you for your timely support. Dont mention it, were just benefiting each other. Alex flew beside Su Yu and patted him approvingly on the shoulder. In his eyes, Nemesis was a young man with extensive knowledge, who was able to pass advanced schr tests at a young age, which was incredible! Besides, Nemesis was also very wealthy and had made many contributions to the Holy Temple this time. He was very happy to work with such a talented person. Sanctuary powerhouse, Cami, looked like an old granny with white hair and a beneficent face. She stared at the approaching city lord ude, a ming red magic wand emerging from the void into her hand: Is this ude Strathrow? Yes, its me, ude said gloomily from a distance, and he slowly flew over with his nine followers. ude had thought his n was foolproof. He was to follow themands of that superior, and seize the opportunity while the Guardian God was absent to kill Tina Garcia. Destroying Su Yus territory was just a side task. But unexpectedly, the arrival of five 5th Tier powerhouses from the Schrs Temple disrupted their ns, and now even two sanctuary powerhouses had arrived! Had Nemesis not been an adventurer from another world, ude would have even started suspecting that Nemesis was the illegitimate child of Alex and Cami. But the problem now is serious. With two more Sanctuary powerhouses on Nemesis and Tinas side, they were at a disadvantage in high-end firepower. How could he kill Tina now? ude frowned. But theres no time for that now. Since hes here, ude decided to tentatively probe with words first. Greetings, masters of the Schrs Temple, I am ude Strathrow, the city lord of Orleans City. May I know why your esteemed temple has interfered in our internal affairs in Orleans City? Do you think just because our strength is inferior to the Imperial Capital you can bully us at will? ude said, his words prickly. Your Excellency ude, you have misunderstood, Alex exined with a smile. In our Schrs Temple, there have always been two conflicting opinions. One opinion is that the temple should attract rich merchants and nobles and earn membership fees to maintain the daily expenses of the temple. With the money, the temple can buy more highly valued books, start its own academic journal, exchange with schrs from all over the country, brainstorm, and make joint progress. The other opinion, however, firmly rejects the entry of nobles and merchants, arguing that it would destroy the purity of the temple. The Schrs Temple should be a ce for discussing academics, it shouldnt be corrupted by money and power. Moreover, we cant let these merchants and nobles climb to the top ranks and turn the temple into a tool for politics and business. Ive said this much, do you understand now? Alex looked kindly at ude. I think I do, ude nodded in confusion. But then what? Does this have anything to do with you butting in Orleans Citys internal affairs? Chapter 210: 210, Battle of Aphi City (Part 5)_1 Chapter 210: Battle of Aphi City (Part 5)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Of course there is a rtionship. Alex answered, Nemesis is the result of apromise between these two voices. Firstly, Nemesis passed the assessment of senior schrs at a young age, his future is full of potential, which aligns with the interests of the second voice. Secondly, Nemesis is very wealthy. He contributed a lot of spiritual energy coins to the Holy Temple recently, which aligns with the interests of the first voice. Nemesiss emergence greatly alleviates the internal conflicts within our Schrs Temple, this is also why we strive to protect him. So, ude, no matter what you say today, I will defend Nemesis! ude quirked an eyebrow: Oh? Nemesis has recently contributed a lot of spiritual energy coins to the Schrs Temple? Absolutely. Then lets do this, ude said, a n forming in his mind, Ill pay double what Nemesis has contributed in spiritual energy coins! And I wont use this as an excuse to join the Schrs Temple. Can you give him to me then? Well Alex and Cami exchanged nce. Seeing that the party was willing to negotiate, ude quickly increased his offer: What, is double not enough? Then Ill make it triple! Are you really offering three times the amount? Alex asked, a strange expression on his face. Absolutely. Alright, well the charmed pricees to 30 billion spiritual energy coins. Are you nning on paying in a lump sum, or installments? Alex asked congenially. 30 30 billion?! udes mouth fell open, he was so shocked, he couldnt think straight. Are you sure its 30 billion and not 30 million? The fifth-order powerhouses following ude were also wide-eyed and surprised. 30 billion! That number was terrifying! Nemesis invested a whopping 10 billion spiritual energy coins in the Schrs Temple C how did he get so rich? And this isnt just regr affluence, it was on an outrageous scale! udes Strive family that governs Orleans City, discounting the un-factorsable fixed assets, at most could have rudimentarily avable assets in the range of 10 billion spirit coins. Not only did Nemesis build a new city, the remaining money is even more than the entire Strive familys worth! Did the princess give her national treasury as a dowry to Nemesis! a fifth-order powerhouse whispered behind ude. If Nemesis truly has so much money, its very possible! Another agreed. What are you thinking about? The princess is only fourteen, she wouldnt be able to marry and crown a prince until she is eighteen. The situation is different now, Goldfinch has lost half of their kingdom, the princess getting married early to stabilize the peoples hearts is also very possible. How can the princess be interested in such a kid! The fifth-order powerhouses behind ude were in heated discussion. ude, though, was stone-faced: Alex, are you lying to me? Does Nemesis really have so many spiritual energy coins? I really didnt lie to you. Alex retrieved a ck magic crystal card from somewhere, raised it in front of everyone and then put it away: Nemesis has preemptively paid us one billion spiritual energy coins to move the Schrs Temple headquarters from Goldfinch City to Aphi city, Cami and I both agree to this. Schrs Temple, in future will develop Aphi City as the main base, and Nemesis will continue to invest one billion spiritual energy coins in our Temple every year. So no matter what, we are going to staunchly protect Aphi city and not let your army step into the city! Having finished, Alex gave a dismissive sweep of udes elite group of 3000 city defense soldiers below. In the face of Alexs re, many soldiers felt a tremendous sense of fear descend upon them from the sky. Some, unable to bear it, fainted and copsed on the spot. Seeing Alexs actions, ude sighed inwardly. He finally understoodpletely now! The Schrs Temple was short on money, but their pride as schrs made them unwilling to bow their heads to the government and businessmunities. At this critical moment, the wealthy and knowledgeable Nemesis stepped forward! So the Schrs Temple wholeheartedly sided with Nemesis. Nemesis would give 10 billion spiritual energy coins to Schrs Temple over the next ten years and in exchange, the Schrs Temple would move its headquarters to Aphi city indirectly bing a part of Nemesiss domain. The Schrs Temple, nourished by Nemesis, would develop and grow stronger. Both parties would mutually benefit. At this level, it would be harder for ude to destroy Nemesiss domain! Su Yu clearly understood what ude was thinking, so he pushed him: City Lord, when are you going to pay the 30 billion? Not to mention paying it all at once, you just need to pay one-tenth first, I will immediately let Alex take his troops back, you can have Aphi city for free! Ha ha, the weather is nice today! ude started tough: Since the Schrs Temple has its eye on Aphi city, I have nothing to say. But udes voice took a turn, his tone stern: Alex, Cami, I have orders from Master Xi Fan, I must kill Tina Garcia today! I may not care about Aphi city, but you have to hand over this woman! Xi Fan? Hearing this name, Alex and Camis faces changed drastically. As the local bigshots in Goldfinch City, they of course understood the terror of the Strong dragon Xi Fan. Lets put it this way, even if all the powerhouses of the Schrs Temple came together they would not be a match for Xi Fan, at best they would bring him a little trouble, but they couldnt even hurt him. This kind of frightening existence wants to kill Tina! Those present at the temple looked at each other, uncertain what to do. But then, Su Yu stepped forward. Positioning himself in front of Tina, he looked dismissively at ude: You must be dreaming! Tina is my friend, Ill never hand her over to you. Friend? Looking at Su Yus back, Tina suddenly felt warmth in her heart. Alex and Cami exchanged a lengthy nce, settling on a consensus. Cami got up and dered: ude, I am Cami of the Schrs Temple. We are firmly against you taking Nemesiss wife in front of us. This is the line in the sand. Even if its an order from Master Xi Fan, its uneptable! Wife?! Tina was startled by the term and instantly blushed. But for some strange reason, she wasnt exactly averse to being referred to that way. ude did not have time to pay attention to Camis words. He solemnly took out a ck scroll from his bosom, which he started activating in his hands. Endless shadow energy erupted from the scroll. All at once, the colours of the world changed! Even the midday sun seemed dim, and the surroundings became pitch ck. Since you guys are not willing to hand over the person, and I cant defeat you, I guess Ill have to summon Master Xi Fan. You all can reasoning with Master Xi Fan! Under the scrolls effects, a shimmering ck six-pointed star teleportation array gradually formed in front of ude. The silhouette of Xi Fan first appeared in the array and then solidified. An entire seventh-stage dark sorcerer, Xi Fan, was about to be summoned! Chapter 211: 211, No, Nemesis!_1 Chapter 211: No, Nemesis!_1 Trantor: 549690339 Damn it! Alex and Camis faces changed dramatically. If Xi Fan were summoned, not only would Tina fail to escape, but everyone else present would undoubtedly be implicated. By then, their Schrs Temple would suffer heavy casualties. So, they quickly cast spells, trying to interrupt the summoning ritual. [Skill Counter], [Magic Dissolution], [Disturbing Curse], [Magic Item Neutralization] Spells flew towards the scroll like bullets fired from a machine gun. But it was futile. The gap between them and Xi Fan was too great. None of these spells worked, all were repelled, only slightly dying the time it took for Xi Fan to be summoned. Run! All of you, run! Cami turned her head and shouted at the people behind her. The situation was nowpletely out of control, leaving everyone to fend for themselves. But Tina did not choose to run. She took out the tinum ring that the Guardian had entrusted to her, seriously put it on her right index finger: Lord ude, since you wish to summon Xi Fan, I have no choice but to summon Kevin Forsythias avatar. Kevin Forsythia, defeat the evil Xi Fan! Tina held up her right hand high, the ring on her index finger burst out a magnificent light! The white gem on the ring emitted a dazzling white light, illuminating the dark sky like a small sun, making it impossible to look at directly. Of course, Tina was just putting on a show. This ring could only teleport her to a safe location, it couldnt actually summon the avatar of the Guardian. But Xi Fan and Lord ude didnt know that! They thought Tina was telling the truth. As Tinas ring lighted up, the process of Xi Fans physical condensation suddenly came to a halt. Then, Xi Fans body shattered like a shattered mirror, turning into ck particles and disappearing into the air. Urgh! Lord ude took the bacsh, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood, and was knocked back several meters. ude now wanted to swear at someone. Because Xi Fan had chickened out halfway through the summoning! It seemed that Xi Fan didnt dare face the avatar of the Guardian directly, so he forcefully terminated the summoning before it waspleted, disappeared into light particles. Not only that, Xi Fan transferred all the bacsh from the spell to ude, making ude take a heavy hit, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood. ude was feeling very cold inside. He had taken the opportunity to join Xi Fans camp some time ago, but now he was unexpectedly betrayed by Xi Fan. Fine, fine, fine, wait and see! ude wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and made a fierce threat. Then he flew back towards Orleans City without looking back. The nine Tier-5 warriors who followed him saw their boss fleeing and of course, they wouldnt want to stay any longer. In an instant, they cleaned the field, escaping. The people at the Schrs Temple watched them go without pursuing them. Tina let out a sigh of relief, lowering her right hand, and withdrawing the ring, which she had not yet activated. The 3,000 elite city guards below were even more at a loss. They stopped their offensive and began to retreat slowly while maintaining their formation. A battle that was supposed to be earth-shattering fizzled out. Game Announcement: The Orleans City Elite City Defense Forces have left the battlefield. The city defense battle was a total sess! Game Announcement: Due to the high difficulty of this city defense battle, all yers within Aphi City are rewarded with x10000 Experience Points and 1 [Rare Quality Equipment Box (3 items)]. When they saw the game announcement, the entire Aphi region erupted in cheers: Yeah, we won! Finally, we finally won! The yers of Swift and Yellow Turban Army guild were especially teary-eyed at this moment. Ten days! After ten days of tireless efforts and hard struggle, they finally achieved their goal and built the first yer city! Throughout the process, everyone had put in a lot of heart and sweat. Now, they had finally seeded! Su Yu was also overwhelmed with excitement now. The first yer city in his previous life appeared about nine months after the start of the major upheaval. But now, he had built the first yer city in only 21 days, more than eight months faster than in his previous life! I hope these eight months can bring miracles to humanity! Su Yu prayed silently in his heart. . After the citys defense battle, what was left were some routine tasks like arresting prisoners and cleaning the battlefield etc. The troops of Moonlight Town and Count Philip were first arrested to see if they could be ransomed. If no ransom could be obtained, they would be demoted to ves and sent to the mines. The great magicians of the Schrs Temple didnt linger either; they were eager to go back to their books. So, Su Yu and Tina escorted them to the teleportation circle. Goodbye everyone! I hope we can meet again soon in Aphi City. Su Yu waved goodbye to the archmages. Dont worry, Nemesis. Haimleke patted his chest in assurance. As soon as I get back, Ill start preparing for the move. You should also start preparing early on your end! Of course, Ill be building your new headquarters in a few weeks. Su Yu guaranteed. Alex, the Sanctuary mage, also smiled: Then well wait for your good news in Goldfinch City. I quite like this city, it indeed is more peacefulpared to the bustling Imperial Capital, suitable for settling down to read books Were leaving! Goodbye, Nemesis. Goodbye everyone! The archmages turned into white light on the teleportation circle and left Aphi City. After sending off the great mages of the Schrs Temple, Su Yu and Tina rode Dima back to the City Hall. The City Hall no longer resembled the decrepit wooden cabin it was initially. After twelve upgrades, the scale of the City Hall had expanded multiple times, changing from a wooden structure to a brick-and-mortar structure, and its interior and exterior decorations were extremely luxurious. In the City Halls lounge, Su Yuy sprawled on the brown leather sofa like a mess. For the past ten days, he had barely taken any rest, online or offline. Now that his territory had finally been promoted to a City, the tension abruptly dissipated, and all Su Yu wanted to do was rest, not even moving a pinky. Tina, however, was energized. She swapped her heavy armour for a delicate, light yellow dress in the changing rooms. Humming a little ditty, she poured two sses of orange juice, walked over to Su Yu and handed him one. This is for you. Thank you! Su Yu took a sip of the orange juice and admired Tina with interest. Now that Tina had swapped the armour for a dress, her demeanor had be somewhat more gentle, reminiscent of a girl-next-door, which made Su Yu feel veryfortable. Say, Tina. Su Yu curiously asked, How did you think of fabricating ring effects to scare off Xi Fan just now? I just had a sudden inspiration and thought I might as well give it a try. I didnt expect it to actually work! Xi Fan is so silly! Tinas eyes squinted into slits fromughing so hard. As expected of my Tina, youre so clever! Su Yu affectionately ruffled Tinas hair, making her hairstyle a bit messy. Tina didnt seem to mind. Feeling Su Yus close proximity and his breath, she recalled how Sanctuarys mage, Cami, had called her Nemesiss wife. Their current situation did seem a bit like husband and wife. At this thought, Tinas cheeks flushed a rosy red. Looking at Tinas blushing face, Su Yu suddenly felt yful. Oh my, is your face turning red? Come, let me have a look. Nemesis, what are you doing? Let me have a look! Nemesis, dont Tina shyly pushed away Su Yus hand. Its okay. Let me see. Nemesis, stop it. Its not appropriate here. Chapter 212: 212, Matters Concerning the Fate of Mankind_1 Chapter 212: Matters Concerning the Fate of Mankind_1 Trantor: 549690339 Just as Su Yu was getting ready to take further action, he received a private message. Snow Leopard: Are you there? I have a very important matter to discuss with you. Busy as he was, Su Yu didnt reply. But soon, he received another message from Snow Leopard: This matter is critically important; it involves the fate of all mankind. The higher-ups are also indecisive and want your opinion. Su Yu: Where are you? Snow Leopard: Im at the House of Warm Wind tavern in Orleans City. Su Yu: Sigh, Ill be right there. 10 minutester, Su Yu pushed open the heavy oak door of the House of Warm Wind tavern. There was only one customer in the pub C Snow Leopard. At that moment, he was sitting beside the bar with more than a dozen empty wine jugs in front of him. Clearly, while waiting for Su Yus arrival, Snow Leopard had been continuously downing jugs of wine, his face now flushing from the effects of the drinks. Upon seeing Su Yus arrival, Snow Leopard hastily called out, Barkeep, we have a new customer. Bring four more jugs of Dew Wine. This wine has a really strong kick! It tastes so much better than that what-not aromatic one offline. Alrighty! The boss came over with a smile, carrying four jugs of Dew Wine. He also thoughtfully served Su Yu a dish of fennel beans, knowing that Su Yu favored them. So, what did you need me for? Su Yu sat down beside Snow Leopard at the bar, munching on the fennel beans and taking a sip of Dew Wine. He felt that Snow Leopard was in an odd state; being able to down so much wine indicated immense pressure on him. Before I talk about the main point, I must first apologize to you, Snow Leopard said, his expression turning solemn as he looked at Su Yu. Apologize? For what? Its about Professor Shen Professor Shen once suggested dissecting you Snow Leopard exined the incident where Professor Shen had proposed killing and dissecting Su Yu. Given Su Yus abilities, he was sure to find out about this incident sooner orter, so it was better toe clean now to avoid potential confrontation in the future. Listening to Snow Leopards ount, Su Yus face turned a shade graver. The very thing he had been so afraid of when he was reborn had actually transpired C the reason he had avoided contact with the relevant departments. It seemed all his precautions in reality were indeed necessary. He also needed a means of self-preservation in reality. So, what are you nning to do with this Professor Shen? And the other professors who also proposed the idea? A cold light flickered in Su Yus eyes. Those professors have been put under arrest and cannotmunicate with anyone else. I can hand them over to you for disposal. Whatever you decide to do with them is up to you. Snow Leopard said seriously. Well lets just keep them under lock and key for now. Well deal with it after the war. Su Yu hadnt decided on how to deal with these scientists yet. Killing them seemed like a waste of talent. Perhaps life-long imprisonment was a better option. Can we discuss the main issue now? Su Yu changed the subject. Yes, Snow Leopard nodded. Despite his flushed face, he appeared exceptionally alert, Mr. Li also known as [The range is the truth] you know of him, dont you? Of course. Mr. Li submitted a report to Commissioner Zhang nine days ago. In the report, he asserts We must make public the existence of the Skuru people, unite all the avable forces, and no longer deceive the public. This report got the attention of the highest leaders. Just three hours ago, the highest leadership passed a resolution to disclose the information about the Skuru people to the public, and at the same time, to actively negotiate with various world governments to form a world federal government to unite all of humanity to face this crisis. However, the highest leadership has anticipated the intense social unrest that may ur after the release of this information, so they want to hear your opinion. Should we release this information to the entire society now? I see, this indeed is some big news! said Su Yu with a grave expression. Based on his past experience, releasing information about the Skuru people would indeed trigger intense social unrest, a sharp rise in violent crimes, and many innocent people would be implicated, losing their lives in the process. Especially in his past life when there were not many game helmets avable. By the time the changes began inte May, there were only about five million game helmets nationwide and violent murder cases targeting helmet owners were on the rise. However, it was inevitable that the public would find out about the Skuru people sooner orter. In fact, the earlier they found out, the better it would be in countering the Skuru people. What needed to be considered now was the timing of the announcement. Su Yu began to ponder with a frown. Snow Leopard did not push, continuing to sip his Dew Wine while consuming half a dish of fennel beans in front of Su Yu. After several minutes of contemtion, Su Yu exhaled deeply, I believe it should be announced now! Are you sure about that? Snow Leopards eyes narrowed. I used to think that the best time to announce would be when 70% of the public have game helmets. At that point, with the helmets acting as psychologicalfort, the social unrest would be greatly reduced. But considering the current state of society, most people are still engaged with other games, enjoying other forms of entertainment. Most yers in Evolution are ying for fun, chatting, making friends, not focusing too much on the game. And then there are quite a few who are just flirting and exploiting. These people need to shift their focus to leveling up in the game. Each day they level up, their chances of survival in the future increase. Snow Leopard nodded, Your points make sense. The highest-level leadership basically has the same idea. However, Su Yu continued, You must also manage the risks of social unrest. Especially the top yers in the game, like A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated and Frost Red Tea, for example. We must avoid violent crimes arising from people trying to snatch their helmets. These top yers are the pirs of our fight against the Skuru people in the future. Losing even one of them is a major loss for mankind. Yes, we will consider that, said Snow Leopard seriously. We will prepare the public adequately for these changes. In highly risky areas, we will try to implement a curfew to manage the risks. Alright, thats all I have to say. Su Yu finished thest few fennel beans, stood up, and waved his hand, Its gettingte. I need to go do my mission. Alright, I will pass your words on to Commissioner Zhang as soon as possible, Snow Leopard responded solemnly. After the conversation, Su Yu left the House of Warm Wind tavern. The game time was now in the early morning, and the chilly wind blowing on the street sent a bone-piercing cold through Su Yu. In a short while, the highest leadership would announce to the world the existence of the Skuru people and the function of the game, Evolution. By then, the reaction of the world was predictable. Hopefully, everyones reaction wont be too intense, Su Yu muttered, pulling the hood over his head and stepping into the Orleans City teleport array. Chapter 213: 213, the princess controlled by Xi Fan, suddenly appears in the video window _1 Chapter 213: the princess controlled by Xi Fan, suddenly appears in the video window _1 Trantor: 549690339 After leaving Orleans City, Su Yu didnt immediately return to his territory, choosing instead toplete the main quest first. After the territory had advanced to the [City] phase, the [Mage Tower] could now be built. However, the construction of the Mage Tower was time-consuming, taking around five days toplete, just like the Wonders. Moreover, a [Mana Pool] had to be formed after thepletion of the Mage Tower, which would take another three days. Only after the Mana Pool was finished could Su Yu convert monster materials into his own Experience Points. So Su Yu was in no hurry, he would leave the Mage Tower to be built by the Territorys Magic Craftsman while he went off toplete the main storyline. There were two main storylines; one was the princess line, and the other was Tinas line. After some thought, Su Yu decided to start with the princess line. After all, he had spent too much time in Orleans City, and a change of environment could help to lighten his mood. Besides, Xi Fan was causing chaos in Goldfinch City, and Su Yu was worried about Princess Alyssas current situation. Thus, Su Yu teleported to Goldfinch City. Buzz The teleporting light shone on the gargantuan teleportation circle, and Su Yu appeared in Goldfinch City. As soon as he arrived, Su Yu could feel the heavy and grim atmosphere that filled the air. It was different from Orleans City. Orleans City, far away from the war, possessed a peaceful and serene atmosphere; time stood still. But in Goldfinch City, which was about to be a rebel stronghold, every resident looked somber and anxious. Su Yu could understand their current state of mind. He guessed it wouldnt be long before the real world would be like this too, and the atmosphere might be even more intense. After all, the citizens of Goldfinch City were merely changing masters and were not necessarily going to die, but as for the Blue Star Humans, they were on the brink of extinction! Su Yu sighed and summoned Dima to ride. Dima, lets go see the princess. Chirp Chirp! Dima, energetic as ever, carried Su Yu quickly towards the Royal Pce. Goldfinch Royal Pce. Apanied by the guard Keerderon, Su Yu saw Princess Alyssa in the Council Chamber. Alyssa was as before, seated high on her throne, dressed in luxurious clothing. Her face boasted both the cuteness of a little girl and the majesty of the royal family. However, uponying eyes on her, Su Yu noticed something was off. At present, the princesss affection for him had risen to the [Attention Stage], which was not far from the highest level [Enthusiasm Stage]. Theoretically, upon seeing Su Yu again, the princess would surely have a small exchange with him, perhaps catch up or ask where he had been recently. But now, the princess looked utterly indifferent. She looked at Su Yu impassively and stated, Wee back to the pce, adventurer. It was as if she had never known Su Yu before. Su Yu was taken aback and raised his eyes to the princess on the throne. After careful observation, Su Yu noticed a faint ck mist shrouding the princesss eyes. Not just her, but the nearby guards eyes were also shrouded in a ck fog. It was clear that all of their souls had been controlled by Xi Fan! Xi Fan really has some nerve! Su Yu was greatly surprised, First he tried to assassinate Tina, then he controlled the princess. Hes really crossed the line! Whats even more strange is that, aside from Xi Fan, there are five other powerful seventh rankers on the empires side who know that Xi Fan has taken control of the princess. Yet, they remain silent till now. Are they acquiescing to it? While thinking about the chaos, Su Yu bowed to Princess Alyssa: Your Highness, I am an otherworldly adventurer, Nemesis, called here by the divine spirits to follow you. Hm. Alyssa rose indifferently from the throne The defense forces of Goldfinch City have now been assembled. Today at noon, I will lead the citys defense forces to Forest City to find my father. Adventurer, you wille with me. Ding, second phase of [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire] is now open. Ding, your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of Goldfinch Empire (26/100)]. Quest Requirement: Apany Princess Alyssa and the defense forces of Goldfinch City to Forest City. Quest Reward: Experience Points X20000. I would be d to serve you, Your Highness. Su Yu bowed. At this moment, he suddenly added, Your Highness, Do you still remember Morningstar? Upon hearing this, a hint of struggle appeared in the princesss eyes, as if her consciousness had suddenly awakened, fighting against the ck mist for control of her body. Unfortunately, just as her consciousness woke up, it was repressed by the ck mist, and her eyes went nk again. I dont remember. Alyssa stated brusquely. Well Ill be going then. Goodbye, Your Highness. Su Yu sighed, filled with worry, as he left the pce with Keerderon. At noon, Su Yu, along with ten thousand city defence forces, left Goldfinch City and started the journey to Forest City. But this time, Su Yu couldnt share a carriage with the princess anymore. Instead, he diligently followed behind on Dima. Xi Fans carriage proceeded directly in front of the princesss carriage. The ck fog kept emitting from his carriage. Many peoples eyes were shrouded in a light ck mist. Therge force marched forward. From Goldfinch City, the journey to Forest City would take around three days, which was six hours in reality. Su Yu browsed the forum, engaged in the guild chat, and gradually passed the time. When they were only half an hour away from Forest City, a video window suddenly popped up right in front of Su Yus view. Not just Su Yu, but every yer in the game had a giant video window that upied half of their view from their game screen. In the real world, video windows popped up on everyones mobile,puters, electronic disys in squares, and other electronic terminals. Even devices that were in sleep mode or turned off was no exception. In the video window, an elderly man, dressed in military uniform, was sitting sternly at a table, staring at the screen. Su Yu recognized this elderly man. It was Commissioner Zhang, who he had encountered a while ago. Seeing the video, Su Yu immediately knew what was about to happen. It should be the decision of the highestmand to use a video to announce the existence of aliens to all citizens. Thus, Su Yu halted Dima, getting ready to listen to what Commissioner Zhang would say. The other yers in the game all looked at the video window, given that it was upying most of their view, they had no choice but to look. But Commissioner Zhang hadnt started speaking yet, so they began to discuss with the people around them: Mr. Green, do you also have a video window in front of you? Right, you got it too? Of course, is it a game bug? Dont know, lets just wait and see. In several ces in the real world, people took out their phones, staring at the video ying automatically on the screen. People nced around, all electronic terminals around them were showing this footage. Many had realizedD either all the electronic terminals nearby were infected with a virus, or something significant was about to happen! Chapter 214: 214, Officially Announcing the Existence of Alien Civilizations _1 Chapter 214: Officially Announcing the Existence of Alien Civilizations _1 Trantor: 549690339 In the video, Commissioner Zhang didnt speak immediately, but calmly waited for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, he slowly began, Hello everyone. Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhang Ling, the Political Commissar of the Southeast Military Region. Through this video, I want to announce to the public that our Blue Star is facing threats from an alien civilization. Subtitles in fivenguages, including Chinese, were present under the video, ensuring that everyone could understand what he was saying. However, upon hearing it, people were left dumbfounded. Alien civilization? Aliens? Is this real or fake? Whether it was the rich individuals who burnt their Ferraris for amusement, the construction workers who were sweating profusely at the construction site, or the serious gamers, everyone was staring at the screen in front of them in disbelief. Commissioner Zhang slowed his speech and continued, The incident happened a month and a half ago. Then, we unexpectedly received news from an alien civilization. The message was written in over a dozen Earthnguages. The main content of the messages was focused on one word C War. The civilization that sent us the message calls themselves the Singer Civilization. They acted as the main judge, enabling another civilization C the Skuru Civilization, to invade our Blue Star In the following ten minutes, Commissioner Zhang gave a detailed introduction about the Singer and Skuru Civilizations based on the information he knew. Furthermore, the video included a great amount of pictures and footage of the Skuru people, Skuru spaceships, and Space Cracks to corroborate the information. Most of the public initially disbelieved, thinking it must be some sort of joke. They imagined that the video could have been made by some special effectspany producing CG. However, the images were too realistic! In the middle of the video, the countrys top leaders appeared in the footage, delivering important speeches. Seeing them, the public finally realised that everything spoken about in the video was real! If it was a prank video, the creators wouldnt dare feature these two figures in it unless they were ready to face serious consequences. Is this a dream? Some people pinched their arms hard, other pped their own faces, each attempting to escape from this nightmarish dream. But their efforts were in vain as they were not in a dream. Many people began to feel dizzy, their breathing elerated, their bodies trembling, their palms sweating, and their minds went nk. Some people even found it difficult to stand upright. After the speeches from the top leaders ended, the video switched back to Commissioner Zhang. Commissioner Zhang forced out a slight smile and continued, You dont have to panic excessively about the alien civilization. The Singer Civilization has given us a full year to prepare and has created a tool for us to win this war. A game helmet from Evolution appeared in his hand. This is the game helmet of Evolution. This game is created by the Singer Civilization. I assume most regr inte users have heard the rumour Evolution Level 50 offers a set of school district houses as a reward, right? This rumour is actually true. Once we reach level 50 in Evolution, we can materialize our in-game powers into the real world. With this power, we will have the qualifications to defeat the alien civilization! Commissioner Zhang paused here for a moment, giving the viewers time to digest this information. Everyone was stunned. A lot of people knew about the Level 50 Evolution rewards a set of school district houses rumour since it had topped the trending list on various tforms for more than a day or two. Who would have thought, Evolution was actually a product of alien beings and even tied to the fate of humanity! After his pause, Commissioner Zhang continued, ording to the current production capacity of the game helmet, in another months time, the helmet can cover all 1.4 billion people nationwide. By then, I assure every Chinese citizen will have their own game helmet. However Everyone felt slightlyforted after hearing that they could also get a game helmet. But Commissioner Zhangs however yet again made everyones hearts leap up to their throats. But as you know, our China is such a big country, everyone needs food, clothing and shelter. Its not feasible for everyone to spend 12 hours a day ying the game. Otherwise, we would starve before the aliens even invade. Therefore, I dere the country is in a state of emergency and wartime status. The government will control and adjust the development of the primary and secondary industries, ensure citizens rights and livelihood,pletely restructure the tertiary industry, and all unemployed individuals can develop in Evolution. The government will provide subsidies to all individuals Blue Star Humans havee upon the most crucial historical moment. I hope to unite everyones strength to get through this difficult time! That marked the temporary end of the video as the screen went ck. But the people who had been watching the video were left helpless. Everyone just stared nkly at the people around them or at their own screens if there was no one around. For a moment, they didnt know what to do. How did the world change so suddenly?! After some time had passed. As everyone came to their senses and prepared to say something, Commissioner Zhangs video screen popped up again, appearing on everyones electronic terminal. By the way, I have two more points to add. Everyone was startled, but they all stared at the screen, their hearts constricted. First, the reason we wanted to disclose the existence of aliens to as many people as possible through the video is to prevent people from spreading unverified information and distorted facts. Many media outlets often exaggerate the facts or even fabricate false news for profit, which can cause great social panic. We have created an official website for updates about the alien civilizations called Singer. It contains thetest, most authoritative, and reliable official news. We hope everyone will be discerning and avoid believing in information from other channels. The second point, please dont panic. Calm down, trust in the governments ability, and also believe in the power of the entire poption. As long as we unite, we can ovee this crisis! Moreover, we have already achieved partial victory in the war. To the right of the video, a picture of Su Yus identification suddenly appeared. However, to protect Su Yus privacy, the picture was pixted. This young mans game ID is [Nemesis]. If youve yed Evolution, you must have heard this name, Commissioner Zhang introduced. Nemesis? Boss Ke? The millions of Evolution yers were all momentarily stunned. They were more than familiar with this name. But it was surprising that Boss Ke was mentioned in such an important setting. This was certainly beyond their expectations! Chapter 215: 215, Arrive at Forest City_1 Chapter 215: Arrive at Forest City_1 Trantor: 549690339 Commissioner Zhang exined: What makes [Nemesis] special is that he can bring his power into the real world ahead of time, he doesnt have to wait until level 50. Under Nemesiss leadership, we have sessively taken control of two Spiritual Spring Eyes, which even includes the biggest Spring Eye on Blue Star the Yunlu Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye! The video started to y the footage of the battle at Lingwu Mountain Spring Eye. In the footage, Su Yu was floating in mid-air, surrounded by a colorful elemental energy. Beneath Su Yu was the Lingwu Mountain base of the Skuru race. The brownish-grey Skuru spacecraft and the over 30-meter high spiritual energy collection structures were clearly visible. As time psed, numerous armed helicopters arrived at the scene. Soldiers swarmed out and escorted the green-skinned Skuru captives back to the helicopters. Commissioner Zhang stood up from his seat, bowed towards the camera, and said, On behalf of all the humans of Blue Star, I solemnly thank Nemesis! Nemesis, humans will forever remember your contributions! Then he stood straight and looked at the camera, Also, to those who are watching this video now, I hope you can also step forward at this critical moment, and make your contributions to win this war for mankind. Thats all I can say. May we all unite and resist the invaders. At this point, the half-hour long video ended. In the real world, everyones phones andputers returned to normal. However, everyone was now deep in thought, scratching their heads,pletely unmotivated to study or work. They all looked at the people around them and cautiously asked, Is this real? It must be.. Aliens the aliens are here? I initially thought this could only happen in movies I cant believe its actually happening in the real world. Everyone rushed to grab their phones andputers to look up the Singer Civilization website. The website wasgging from the surge of visitors, but no one seemed to care. They slowly browsed the information on the website one word at a time. In the official forum of Evolution, everyone was discussing weakly: Ive always known that there was something unique about this game, but I didnt think it would turn out to be this major! A game made by aliens, thats terrifying. I cant believe Boss Ke has done so much offline Level 50 abilities can be materialized in real life, right? Yes, Im logging in to level up now! In the game. The video window obfuscating half the yers screens disappeared, and soon someone asked in the [Yellow Turban Army] guilds channel: Nuclear Wastewater from Japan: Guild leader, was the content in the video real? Su Yu: I can only say that its 100% real. Double Cheese: This feels like a dream I had while being drunk, damn it! Too Weak: Same here! We Are United: Boss Ke, I know its not an appropriate time to say this, but I want to resign from the guild. Su Yu: Resign from the guild? We Are United: Yes, I think we should be leveling up, reaching level 50 sooner, rather than wasting our time on building the city. Double Cheese: I want to resign from the guild too. Without the buff to experience points from the territory in the foreseeable future, I cant level up. I dont want to remain at level 13 for the rest of my life. No Power: I feel the same. Boss Ke, I also want to resign from the guild. Not long after, roughly twenty to thirty yers all left messages, wanting to resign from the guild to level up. Su Yu replied in the guilds channel: If you all truly want to resign from the guild, I definitely wont stop you. But I would advise you all to reconsider resigning. There are many multiyer tasks, side tasks, and hidden tasks in the main storylines that I am currently doing, all with generous rewards. I will prioritize the guilds members when providing these tasks. The first 25 rounds of the main storyline were almost exclusively Su Yus sole campaign, but in the following 75 rounds, there were numerous war-rted tasks that required the participation of all yers in the game. Su Yu would save a portion of the most rewarding tasks for his guild members topensate for the experience and equipment they lost due to investing in building their territories. Upon seeing Su Yus response, the voices of the members wanting to resign from the guild gradually subsided. However, no one felt like building houses anymore, they all called their friends to either do tasks or head towards the leveling areas. Su Yu closed the guild chat window, sighing softly. Since things had happened this way, pondering over them was pointless. It would be better to focus his attention on the current task at hand. In the 26th round of the Princess line, Su Yu, along with the Golden Jasmine City Defense Force, had sessfully reached the outskirts of Forest City. They were already faintly able to see the sturdy walls of Forest City from their position. Forest City was a major city in the southern part of the Golden Jasmine Empire. The city was significantlyrger than Orleans City and had a poption nearing 500,000. In the overall city strength ranking across the country, Golden Jasmine City was first, Pearl City second, and Forest City undoubtedly ranked third, while Orleans City managed to stay between the fifth to the seventh rank year-round. It could be said that Forest City was the royal familysst line of defense. At the gate of Forest City, the Emperor of the Golden Jasmine Empire, Lede Golden Jasmine, d in festive clothes, led various lords and their high-ranking subordinates to wee the arrival of Alyssa. Alyssa, riding on a white horse along with Xi Fan, left the main force and made their way to the city gate first. Su Yu, on top of Dima, followed behind them. Below the city gate, the father-daughter pair embraced each other with smiles on their faces. Alyssa, my daughter, you have worked hard during this period. The emperor lovingly stroked his daughters hair. Its okay, for our people, no matter how hard or tiring it is, its worth it. Alyssa replied. Its worth mentioning that the ck mist in Alyssas eyes has now disappeared. But this does not mean that Alyssa has escaped Xi Fans control, on the contrary, Alyssa is still under Xi Fans control. Its just that her appearance doesnt show any issues. The emperor nodded in satisfaction and looked at Xi Fan, Master Xi Fan, you have also worked hard during this period! Its okay, everything is for the empire. Xi Fan, shrouded in a ck robe, said faintly. At the same time, he scanned the strong participants and therge lords around him. Seeing Xi Fan, these strong participants and therge lords looked somewhat ufortable. After catching up with her father, Alyssa came to the side of a female master mage and politely bowed, Im so d to see you again, Teacher Sharon! This mage called Sharon was Alyssas mentor and one of the five level seven powerhouses of the Empire. Seeing Alyssa, Sharon immediately noticed something was wrong: Alyssa, you She suddenly realized that Alyssa had been mentally controlled by Xi Fan! But Sharon was helpless. Although she and Xi Fan were both at level seven, there was a difference in strength amongst the level seven powerhouses. Sharon had only reached level seven a few years ago, while Xi Fan was at the peak of level seven. If they actually fought, it might take three Sharons acting together to barely fight against Xi Fan. So even though she noticed something was wrong with Alyssa, Sharon didnt dare to say anything. Alright, its gettingte. Alyssa, I have prepared an illustrious reception banquet for you. During the banquet, I will introduce you to the various lords and ministers, the emperor said, walking towards the city gate with his arm around his daughters shoulder. Okay, father, Alyssa replied, adjusting herself to match her fathers footsteps. Chapter 216: 216, Princess Line 26-30 loops_1 Chapter 216: Princess Line 26-30 loops_1 Trantor: 549690339 My dear daughter! Empire Emperor Lede Golden Jasmine waved his hand across the scene of Forest City in front of him, his face filled with a joyful smile: Now, the Empires high-ranking strongmen,rge forces, as well as all the lords in the south, apart from ude Strathrow of Orleans City who couldnt make it due to other matters, are all gathered here. The number of troops amassed in the city exceeds 500,000. If all the citizens are mobilized, this number will reach 700,000! With this force, we canpletely engage the rebels in a battle to the death and retake the Golden Jasmine City! Father, when are you nning to march? Alyssa asked. However, the contemptuous sneer surfaced on the face of Xi Fan, who was controlling Alyssa. The emperor is indulging in war and military conquest, and with the widespread famine in the country, ultimately led to rampant rebellion domestically and loss of half of the territory. Unexpectedly, his old problem has red up again at this time, intending to mobilize 200,000 civilians to fight? Doesnt he fear a rebellion in Forest City? However, Xi Fan would definitely not kindly remind the emperor. The Emperorughed triumphantly: I will personally lead the troops to war in two weeks. You just need to stay in Forest City and wait for the news of my triumphant return. Understood, father. Xi Fan controlled Alyssa to answer. Alyssa has a high reputation among the people. The citizens of Forest City have spontaneouslye to wee the princess. Both sides of the main road were filled with people, shouting Alyssas name while throwing flower petals at her. Now it was dusk, and the emperor had hosted a grand banquet for his daughter. Su Yu did not receive an invitation to the banquet and did not attend. However, after the banquet, Su Yu was received by the princess in the Princess House. Princess House. The guard Keerderon led Su Yu into the main hall of the Princess House, then he left the hall with the servants and guards. In the vast hall, only Princess Alyssa and Su Yu were left. Alyssa sat high on the throne, looking down at Su Yu: Hello, adventurer. I need you to deliver a secret letter to the Chief Mage [Rnd] of Silver Pine Spire. I hope you can deliver the letter urately without being noticed by others. The princess threw out a letter, which lightly floated into Su Yus hands. Ding, your main storyline has been updated! [The Glory of the Golden Jasmine Empire27/100]. Mission requirements: bring[a letter containing secret information]to 313 Lick Street and deliver it to[Rnd]. Mission countdown 29:58. Mission reward: 10000 Experience Points. Su Yu nced at the letter, then raised his head and looked directly at Alyssa : Your Excellency Xi Fan, why are you sending me, instead of your confidants, to deliver the secret letter? Arent you afraid that I will tell Lord Guardian and His Majesty the Emperor about the secrets? Heh heh. A coldugh filled with contempt came from an extremely distant position behind the princess: The emperor is just a clown and not worth mentioning; as for the Guardian Kevin Forsythia Xi Fan paused briefly, then continued: Honestly, I really want my n to be known by the noble lord guardian, he would definitely be livid, haha! Xi Fansugh was filled with irony. Arent you afraid that the Guardian will show up to deal with you personally? Su Yu turned serious. Rest assured, his true form is already stuck in the new world and cannote out. Do you think he is the omnipotent savior from before? As for his avatar,st time I was just toozy to expend my magic power. If ites again, I can tear it apart in a minute! Xi Fans tone was filled with disdain. Su Yu fell silent. Alright, go deliver the letter. Dont forget to tell Kevin Forsythia about the content of each letter. Let the old man get a goodugh out of it. Xi Fans voice came once again. Su Yu sighed. He was helpless in the face of Xi Fans arrogance, he could only follow the main mission step by step. Next, in the 27th to 29th part of the princesss quest line, Su Yu, under themand of Xi Fan, had turned into a relentless message delivering robot, delivering letters one by one to various important figures. Then he brought their responses back to Xi Fan. The dignitaries included the Seventh-order mage of Silver Pine, [Rnd]; The Seventh-order legendary mercenary of the Mercenary Guild, [Andrew]; The Marshal of the Empire, the Seventh-order powerhouse [Charles Jinqiuhua]; The Lord of Pearl City, [Michelle Drank]; The Lord of Seabreeze City Basically, all the leaders of the major forces within the city were approached. In the 30th stage of the mission, Xi Fan gathered all these leaders of major forces. Under his leadership, they came in full force to the Emperors residence, formally staged a pce coup, and demanded that he hand over the Emperors power. Within the Emperors pce. The Emperor sat on the high throne, looking down at the crowd with a grave expression. In addition to Alyssa and Xi Fan, there were three Seventh-order powerhouses and the leaders of all major forces in the crowd. The Emperor realized that something was wrong. Alyssa, why have you brought these people here? The Emperor asked sharply. Father. Alyssa bowed to her father and said, Your disastrous military policy has left the people of the Empire homeless and suffering. Now the Empire needs a new leader to continue to guide the people. New leader? The Emperors pupils constricted rapidly: Are you starting a rebellion?! [Shn] the only Seventh-order powerhouse loyal to the Emperor, raised her magic wand and stood in front of the Emperor. But Shn had known for a long time about Xi Fans rebellion; possibly, the Emperor was the only one in the city left in the dark. Yes, Father, its time for you to abdicate. Alyssa took a pitch-ck long sword from Xi Fan and slowly approached the throne. No, you cant! The Emperor was terribly rmed. But he found that he couldnt move at all, probably due to some kind of binding spell. Shn used to be standing between Alyssa and the Emperor. However, seeing Alyssa walking up the throne along the steps, along with the pressure from the four people led by Xi Fan, she lowered her eyebrows as a sign of her standing and quietly moved aside to express her stance. Swish! The pitch-ck sword pierced the Emperors abdomen, and he was enveloped in a thick cloud of ck mist. Alyssa timely removed a ruby ring from her fathers thumb. This ruby ring symbolizes the power of the Emperor and is worn only by the direct bloodline of the Goldfinch family. ps! Xi Fan pped his hands and ascended the throne: Well done, Alyssa. Its not my merit, this time we owe it to Lord Xi Fan. Alyssa stroked the ruby ring in her hand and knelt down to Xi Fan. Upon seeing Alyssa kneel, the leaders of the major powers standing under the throne couldnt help but frown. Seeing their queen kneel down to Xi Fan, many people felt immensely insulted. However, no one stood up to express any dissent. Rise, Queen Alyssa. Xi Fan crossed his arms, smugly. Yes. Alyssa stood up. Issue an order for all inhabitants of the city to go to the central za in batches ording to the n. Understood, Lord Xi Fan. As for the rest of you. Xi Fan looked down at the leaders of the various forces: Everyone should help Alyssa ording to their own ns, keep the residents orderly, and take away the used residents, making every effort to maintain order. Understood, Lord Xi Fan. The leaders of the major forces replied one after another: We hope you can sessfully break through to the Eighth-order. Chapter 217: 217, Xi Fan’s Ambition_1 Chapter 217: Xi Fans Ambition_1 Trantor: 549690339 Xi Fans attempt to control the princess and seize imperial power wasnt due to boredom, nor was it for the sake of an inconsequential pursuit of power. Everything Xi Fan did was aimed at one goaladvancing to the eighth tier, to be the most formidable power under the worlds rules. Xi Fan had been nning this advancement for nearly a century. During this century, he scoured the worldsrgest hidden realms and even the abyss for treasures that could help him break through his limitations. In the Empire, besides [Shn] who had just advanced to the seventh tier, the other three seventh-tier powerhouses (Rnd, Andrew, Charles Forsythia) also maintained close contact with him. Three years ago, Xi Fan finally gathered all the necessary treasures, confident he could advance to the next tier! However, these treasures all required a unique crystal called a [Frenzy Fragment] to activate their full power. [Frenzy Fragments] needed to be obtained from arge number ofmon citizens. Roughly one fragment could be obtained via a special ceremony performed on 100 people, yet Xi Fan would need at least 3000 fragments to activate all the treasures. This meant that he required 300,000 citizens to participate in the ceremony in order to collect enough fragments. [Frenzy Fragments] couldnt be stored; they would dissipate automatically after about a week, and Xi Fan couldnt umte them over a long period of time. Therefore, he came up with this n: Xi Fan would contact the three seventh-tier powerhouses to seize imperial power, gather citizens of Forest City to participate in the ceremony using this power, thereby collecting enough [Frenzy Fragments]. All three seventh-tier powerhouses supported Xi Fans n. If Xi Fan could sessfully advance, the threat posed by the Northern Rebel Army would be effortlessly neutralized. They could also gain quite a few benefits from this, which aligns with their interests. However, Kevin Forsythia, the guardian, adamantly opposed Xi Fans advancement. Kevin Forsythia believed that a considerable number of citizens would die during Xi Fans advancing process, which was not beneficial to the empires overall interests. Moreover, the most critical point being, Kevins position would be threatened after Xi Fans advancement. Therefore, Kevin Forsythia repeatedly threatened Xi Fan, sternly forbidding him from advancing. Faced with the immense pressure from Kevin Forsythia, on the surface, Xi Fan could onlyply, secretly collecting the treasures necessary for advancement instead. This caused what originally could have been a decade-long collection of treasures to drag on for nearly a century. In the past, Xi Fan outwardly expressed respect for Kevin Forsythia, but internally, he harbored immense hatred for him. The opportunity has finally arrived! Kevin Forsythias true body is trapped in the [Shining New World] and cante out. For Xi Fan, this is the best time to advance, and he must seize this period to achieve breakthrough! As a result, a series of events in Forest City urred. Within the emperors pce. Leaders of all major forces follow Xi Fansmand, gathering civilians; Xi Fan stands by the side of the emperor engulfed in ck fog, using [mental theft] to read his memories; Su Yu seriously pondered the cause and effect of the events, gaining a better grasp of the main plot that followed. After reading the memories, Xi Fan stood still, lost in thought for a while. Then, he walked towards Su Yu, looking at him with interest: So, Nemesis, what did old Kevin Forsythia say? Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and replied, The Guardian didnt respond to me at all. Su Yu didnt lie; he had no way ofmunicating with the Guardian directly, so of course, the Guardian wouldnt respond to him. Hmph! I truly wish the old bastard would die in the New World. Xi Fan flicked his sleeve, transforming into ck mist, preparing to leave the royal pce. But Su Yu stopped him: Wait a minute, Xi Fan! Ive delivered so many messages for you, arent you going to reward me a little? Youre not treating me as freebor, are you? Hearing Su Yus words, the ck mist morphed back into human form. Xi Fan looked at Su Yu with slight astonishment. Did this kid dare to ask for a favor from him? Everyone in the great hall, including the seventh-tier powerhouse [Shn], looked at Su Yu in surprise. At this crucial juncture, instead of showing allegiance to Xi Fan humbly, why did Su Yu have the audacity to speak up so loudly? Xi Fan thought for a moment, then pulled out a sk of blue potion, glowing with gold, and tossed it to Su Yu. Ding, [Glory of Forsythia Empire (30/100)] has beenpleted, congrattions on gaining Experience Points x20000. Congrattions on receiving an additional reward: [High-level Blue Wisdom Potion (Golden Rare)] x1. [High-level Blue Wisdom Potion (Golden Rare)]: Increases your intelligence by 200 points for 60 seconds. Potion Cooldown time 5 minutes. The potion is of quite a good quality, it can be taken back to reality, providing a decent boost in performance. But Su Yu sneered dismissively: As a peak seventh-tier legend powerhouse, is this it? Arent you a bit stingy? Stingy?! Shn and the remaining leaders of major forces all looked at Su Yu as if he was a fool. Was this kid seeking death? Okay, adventurers from different worlds werent afraid to die; they would resurrect 6 hours after death. But Xi Fan was a peak seventh-tier powerhouse. Wasnt Su Yu afraid that Xi Fan would permanently detain his soul? Xi Fans face darkened. He formed arge hand from the ck mist, intending to squash the worm in front of him. However, Su Yu continued calmly: Xi Fan, there are actually areas where we can cooperate. You need [Frenzy Fragments], right? I have a way to provide arge number of [Frenzy Fragments]. Upon hearing the term [Frenzy Fragments], therge hand made of ck mist froze beside Su Yu. In the face of advancement, Su Yus minor offense didnt seem as important. Whats your suggestion? Xi Fan asked brusquely. Su Yu, hands sped behind his back, responded calmly, The biggest difficulty in collecting [Frenzy Fragments] is the unwillingness of the citys popce. The further you go, the harder it bes to collect them, right? Xi Fan needed to set up a Shadow Frenzy Array and initiate a [Frenzy Ceremony] to collect [Frenzy Fragments]. Civilians entering the magic circle would attack and bite each other like crazed animals until all nearby people were killed. One [Frenzy Ceremony] could amodate up to 10,000 civilians. After the ceremony, half of the civilians would die, a quarter would be critically injured, and the remainder, even if they were lucky enough to survive, would inevitably suffer lifelong mental trauma. At first, the civilians didnt realize how terrifying the ceremony could be, so the first few [Frenzy Ceremonies] would go smoothly. But civilians were not fools. They realized that those who went to participate in the ceremony never returned and their numbers gradually decreased. They began to instinctively resist and escape, which slowed down the speed of fragment collection. So what? Do you have a way? Xi Fan gave Su Yu a cold look. Definitely. Su Yu replied: With my influence, I can summon a million adventurers from different worlds to help you collect fragments, what do you think? Chapter 218: 218, Help Xi Fan Post Tasks_1 Chapter 218: Help Xi Fan Post Tasks_1 Trantor: 549690339 yers who enter the [Frenzy Ceremony] can also produce [Frenzy Fragments]. However, because yers do not have the same desperate struggle emotions as the native citizens before they die, the probability of generating fragments would be smaller, probably only one in three hundred. If Nemesis really could attract a million adventurers from other worlds, just with these adventurers alone, more than three thousand fragments could be collected, which would be absolutely advantageous for my breakthrough! Xi Fan pondered. Of course, the more fragments, the better. Although three thousand would be enough, if there were surplus, they could be used against other enemies. However, Xi Fan did not immediately agree to Su Yu, instead asking, Do your adventurers from other worlds really have that many people? Also, is your influence that strong? Su Yu smiled: Of course, you can rest assured. Then what do you want? Xi Fan knew that Su Yu would never help him for no reason. Su Yu must have something in mind. I want the [Blue Dragon Scadis Heart]. Su Yu stated bluntly. The [Blue Dragon Scadis Heart] was one of Xi Fans collections and one of the items that Su Yu valued most. Skadi? Sharon and several other leaders ofrge forces trembled. Skadi was a sixth-order mature Blue Dragon who had disappeared without a trace after revolting from Dragon Ind five years ago. They did not expect that it was already dead, and its heart was in Xi Fans hands. Xi Fan thought for a while, then slowly said, You want Skadis heart? Its heart is quite valuable, far exceeding the value of the conditions you proposed. But at present, there is nothing more important than your promotion, right? Besides, as a Shadow Priest, the heart of a blue dragon isnt of much use to you, is it? Reasonable Deal! Xi Fan made a decision. However, he stared at Su Yu coldly, Kid, although I agree to the transaction, youd better not y tricks inside. If I find you messing around, I will imprison your soul and torture you forever! Dont worry, I am very credible. Su Yu smiled. Ding! You have gained the trust of [Shadow Priest Xi Fan] and obtained Xi Fans [Task Proxy Publish Authority]. Su Yu opened the [Task Commission Publish] module and found the task that could help Xi Fan publish. The task details were as follows: Task: [Shadow Frenzy Ceremony] Task Requirements: Participate in Shadow Priest Xi Fans [Frenzy Ceremony] and suffer great torment. Number of Participants: 0 C + Task Reward: 20,000 Experience Points. [Switch] [Split] (+) (-) Note: Participating in this task has a 50% chance of death. The death penalty is the same as the outdoor death penalty. After death, you cannot participate in the ceremony again. The total reward for the task is 20,000 experience points, which can be swapped for other rewards through [Switch] and [Split]. Su Yu clicked the [Switch] button and the task reward kept changing. In addition to experience points, there were Random rare quality equipment X1 suitable for this profession, Randommon quality pet egg x1, Spiritual Energy Coins X600, and Random quality first-order skill book X1 suitable for this profession. If you click the [Split] button, pet eggs, equipment, and skill books cannot be split. Only experience points and spiritual energy coins can be split into smaller parts, such as 10,000 experience, 300 spiritual energy coins. After careful consideration, Su Yu decided to set the task reward to a random quality first-order skill book. Su Yus own first-order skills have been supplemented during the process of doing the main task. But for most yers, theyck first-order skills. Each first-order skill book can sell for 1,000 spiritual energy coins in the auction house. Some excellent quality skills, like the Druids [Bear Transformation], Archers [Animal Companion], Mages [Frost Nova] and so on, are at least 10,000 spiritual energy coins goods, and they are often out of stock. The reward for this task is a random quality first-order skill book. If a yer is lucky enough to get a good roll, it would be a huge reward! And equipment depreciates; it needs to be reced after a while, but skills can be used for a lifetime. So, it was decided. After leaving the pce, Su Yu published the information about the task to the guild channel, the presidents chat room, and the official forum. Su Yu added two points to the task information at the end: First, although the reward for this task is very generous, the entire process of the task is very painful. Its the kind of feeling that you are tortured to madness. If you really want to participate, you must be mentally prepared. The second point is that a lot of tasks rted to the main story will appear between Forest City and Goldfinch City in theing days, and many of them have very generous rewards. Everyone, be careful not to miss it. Su Yus post was quickly pinned to the top of the forum and quickly received a lot of replies: Boss Ke, I am willing to participate! To fight against the Skuru people, a little suffering is nothing. Forest City, right? Im heading there now! For the sake of the skills, give it all! There was also a yer who made a suggestion: Boss Ke, you know so much information that ordinary yers in the game do not know. You might as well write a guide. At this point, no need to hide anything anymore. Su Yu immediately replied to this yer: Okay, Ill write a guide soon. After leaving the pce, Su Yu, riding Dima, arrived at the central square of Forest City. There were already yers on the square who had arrived before Su Yu. Seeing Su Yu, the yers quickly surrounded him. Su Yu didnt bother with small talk and directly showed an exmation mark over his head. yers flocked to Su Yu to ept the task, but all of their expressions were quite heavy. The number of yers surrounding Su Yu continued to increase, and gradually, his view was filled with yers. But everyone was very quiet, making the atmosphere eerily silent. Taking advantage of the time when the yers were epting the task, Su Yu opened the official forum and started to write a guide. In the beginning of the guide, Su Yu told everyone that his talent had a certain predict the future ability, enabling him to know many unknown game contents. Then, Su Yu collected all the information he knew, including the general information for each profession, core skills,te-game gamey, development path, tips for getting hidden tasks, uses of World Prestige and upgrading territories, functions of sunflowers, etc., and published it on the official forum as arge guide. Su Yus guide caused a huge sensation both online and offline. Upon hearing the news of Su Yus guide, people, whether they were in or out of the game, or even those who hadnt touched Evolution, opened the official forum to view the post, causing the official forum to crash for a while. Most of thements in the guide were thanking Su Yu for writing it, as it had pointed the way for many people. Of course, there were many voices saying I dont understand in thements section. Especially for yers who hadnt touched Evolution, there were many words in the guide they didnt understand. Some people had never even yed a game and didnt understand words like tank, aoe, npc, etc. To amodate these people, many yers spontaneously replied in thements section, patiently exining the meaning of each game term in Su Yus post. While there was still some time, Su Yu wrote another guide for zero basis, newbie orientation after writing the strategy guide. He told people who had never yed a game before what to do after entering the game and how to upgrade, among other basic knowledge. Chapter 219: 219, [Heart of Blue Dragon Skadi] (Update 1/3)_1 Chapter 219: [Heart of Blue Dragon Skadi] (Update 1/3)_1 Trantor: 549690339 After most people received their assigned tasks, Su Yu led arge group of yers towards the center of the za. The center of the za had been transformed by Xi Fan into a huge Shadow Magic Circle with a diameter of about 400 meters. The magic circle was enveloped in dense ck fog, obscuring what was happening within. The troops dispatched by Xi Fan escorted groups of civilians to the perimeter of the Magic Circle. Many of the civilians became fearful at the sight of the Magic Circle shrouded in ck fog. Sir, can we avoid going in? Werent we supposed toe here to listen to His Majestys speech? His Majesty surely isnt inside there, right? The soldiers kindly seized these civilians and pushed them into the Magic Circle: Hurry inside, this is a direct order from the Emperor himself. Rest assured, it wont harm you. After the speech,e out and find me to collect your reward, 20 spiritual energy coins per person. How could regr civilians stand a chance against the robust soldiers? They were all pushed into the Magic Circle one by one. At first, nothing unusual happened when they entered the Magic Circle, which eased their fears somewhat. But as soon as the magic circle gathered ten thousand people, the Frenzy Ceremony was activated! During the ceremony, the civilians eyes turned blood-red, and their sanity was lost in an instant. They crazily lunged at whoever was closest, biting with their teeth and pummeling with their fists, not stopping their assault until their victim was dead, not even when their own bones were broken. The elderly and weak civilians were disfigured after the first wave of attacks, their bodies drenched in blood. The remaining young and strong civilians constantly lunged at any living being in their line of sight, as if they were eating each other like parasites. The entire Magic Circle turned into a living hell. Xi Fan was hovering 60 to 70 meters above the Magic Circle, observing the ceremony below with cold eyes. The Magic Circle gathered the Mad Energy generated by the civilians and transmitted it to him, creating Frenzy Fragments around him. Ten minutester, when thest civilian with blood-red eyes fell, the Mad Energy around Xi Fan solidified into a hundred or so purple-ck crystals, these were the Frenzy Fragments that Xi Fan wanted. Bodiesy strewn all around the Magic Circle below, the area littered with iplete corpses, with the stench of blood permeating the air. Xi Fan, however, was indifferent. He was satisfied as he put away the fragments and said to the soldiers below, Clear out this batch of used people and rece them with the next. Understood, Lord Xi Fan. A slightly chubby middle-aged general saluted Xi Fan and ordered his soldiers toply. Su Yu and the yers arrived before the ceremony began and witnessed the gruesome scene within the array. Many turned pale at the sight, their hairs standing on ends. Humans are indeed empathetic creatures, seeing such a massacre was bound to create intense feelings of disgust towards Xi Fan. Some yers even red at Xi Fan angrily, wishing they could fly up and grind him to pieces! But they didnt have the means to do so. The yers were too weak. They couldnt save the civilians and because of the rewards, they had to personally experience the terrifying Magic Circle. Rampaging Aimlessly moved forward, standing in the middle of the crowd, his anger towards Xi Fan unabated. He sent a private message to Su Yu: Nemesis, if you ever be a high-ranking individual, make sure to find a way to kill this scum! Su Yu replied: Dont worry, hes as good as dead. Su Yu broke through the crowd and shouted at Xi Fan who was in the sky, Xi Fan, I have brought all the people you asked for. Now give me the Heart of Blue Dragon Scarti. Xi Fan had already noticed the over one hundred thousand adventurers from other worlds who were following Su Yu like a tidal wave. Although these adventurers were not efficient at generating shards, they werepliant and didnt revolt C they could even be recycled for multiple uses. Xi Fan scoffed, and a Space Ring flew out from his hand andnded in Su Yus almost instantly. [Small Space Ring (Rare)] Attribute: 27 cubic meters of storage space. Note: Food stored inside will not decay. Cannot store living things. Using his magic to activate the Space Ring, Su Yu saw a dark purple heart, over two meters tall, stored inside. The blood left in the thick arteries on the heart had already dried. However, Su Yu could faintly feel the massive magic power contained within the heart. This was undoubtedly the heart of a giant dragon! [Blue Dragon Scadis Heart] Sixth-grade material Usage method: 1. Use the magic power contained in the heart to transition to upations such as Dragon Vein Adept, Dragon Blood Mage, Dragonborn Knight and others. It can be used to create high-ranking potions like an Ultra Element Guiding potion, the Endless Depth Mixture and others. The heart, being the major source of power in a giant dragon, is also the most valuable of materials found within its body and naturally has diverse uses. The heart not only allows you to transition into rare upations, make high-ranking potions, but also allows your body to contain the power of a giant dragon if consumed. It is even possible to cook and eat the heart. Since Su Yu has received this heart, he is naturally going to make full use of it. He ns to use the heart when he breaks through the sixth-level bottleneck. That way, he would be making perfect use of the heart and also gain some additional attributes for himself. Moreover, it wont take Su Yu too long to reach the sixth-level bottleneck. Based on his experience in his previous life, he would reach it about two months after the Mage Tower is built and begins burning materials. The yers already knew about the [Scartis Heart]. Su Yu had made this very clear in his post, and there was no attempt to hide what he nned to do with it. They were all very supportive of Su Yu taking the heart. Rampaging Aimlessly stepped in front of the crowd. He turned to face everyone and shouted: We are about to enter the Shadow Magic Circle now. I will lead our Ministry in first to test the extent of the pain for all of you. If its overly painful, we wille out and inform everyone. You all can consider whether to abandon the task ordingly. Many of the yers nodded in appreciation, gratitude in their eyes towards Mr. Li. After all, having seen the horrifying state of the public a moment ago, it was impossible for anyone not to be scared. If there was someone who could test it on their behalf, it couldnt be any better. However, not all yers thought this way. One regr yer stepped out from the crowd and shouted: Even if its painful, can it bepared to the pain we felt when our homnd was upied by extraterrestrials? Look whats happening outside! We are still bothered about this? In my opinion, no matter the level of pain, we need to charge forward recklessly! As long as I am not afraid of death, death cannot conquer me! And with that, this yer was the first to rush into the Shadow Magic Circle. Well said! Yes, were facing such circumstances. Why should we be afraid of suffering? Suffering now will lead to a higher chance of survival in the future. Inspired, the other yers began to file into the Magic Circle. Inspired by their courage, Mr. Li was slightly emotional. He waved forward and led his guild members quickly into the Magic Circle. Chapter 220: 220. Xi Fan Must Die!_1 Chapter 220: 220. Xi Fan Must Die!_1 Trantor: 549690339 The magic circle quickly gathered 10,000 yers. Without any further ado, Xi Fan re-initiated the Frenzy Ceremony. Once the ceremony began, the pitch-ck fog flowed rapidly within the circle. Influenced by the fog, the yers eyes turned blood-red as they fell into an uncontrolled frenzied state, drawing their weapons and attacking nearby targets. [Fireball Skill], [Charge], [Backstab], [Hammer of Judgment] The yers furiously unleashed their skills against their surroundings until they were either eliminated or all nearby targets were destroyed. The Frenzy Ceremony for the yers was a bit different than that of the natives. The yers wouldnt bleed nor lose limbs. Some yers health points dropped to zero under the frenzied attacks of their peers, disappearing in a sh of white light. Others were critically injured andy nearly dead on the ground with just a sliver of health left. The entire Frenzy Ceremonysted about ten minutes. It ended only when thest yer fell. In this ceremony, half of the yers died, while the other half survived narrowly with only a sliver of health left, but they all received a [Heavy Injury] debuff. [Heavy Injury]: All attributes decrease by 50%, movement speed decreases by 60%, duration of 10 minutes. However, there was also good news. After the ceremony, Old Li, dragging his heavily injured body, walked out together with a few teammates. Yet, he looked rxed. Stepping out of the magic circle, he said loudly to the yers outside, Its okay! Everyone can safely enter, the pain isnt as intense as you can imagine. At the beginning, you all will feel some nausea and dizziness. After being controlled, you will lose consciousness entirely. When the ceremony ends, the half of the yers who died shouldnt feel any pain. Those who are heavily injured will wake up feeling pain all over, but this sensation is akin to the one you feel after falling from a 3-meter-high tform. Its totally within everyones tolerance range. Hearing Old Lis words, the yers outside the circle breathed a sigh of relief. Falling from a 3-meter-high tform shouldnt be too painful, right? After giving out his exnation, Old Li turned to Su Yu, who was busy assigning tasks to yers, Nemesis, I heard theres no limit to the number of times this mission could bepleted? Su Yu nodded, Thats true. As long as you dont die, you can re-enter the magic circle. Then Ill go in another time! Getting a skill scroll in ten minutes seems quite worth it. Old Li walked over to Su Yu,pleted the mission, and then epted it for the second time. Youre still in a heavily injured state, dont you want to rest a bit before going in again? Su Yu was worried. No problem! Old Li waved it off casually, I just want to test for everyone if being in a heavily injured state would intensify the pain when entering the magic circle. Alright then, be careful Old Li! Mhm. Including Old Li, another ten thousand yers went into the magic circle. Xi Fan nced down and re-initiated the Frenzy Ceremony. Again, the yers began to attack each other. Now, all the yers in the game who were on the side of the Empire had already gathered around Forest City. The situation around the Magic Circle had been recorded by the yers and uploaded as videos to the official offline forum. Especially the video of Xi Fan brutally ughtering tens of thousands of civilians, which was widely spread. Seeing this video, the whole forum exploded! Watching the helpless struggle of the civilians in Forest City within the magic circle, everyone couldnt help but rte the event to the real-world situation between the Blue Star Humans and the Skuru people. From their empathized perspectives, criticisms against Xi Fan nketed the sky: Xi Fan is totally inhumane! Those are ten thousand lives! Xi Fan doesnt regard civilians as humans at all. His saying used civilians is absolutely cold-blooded! Xi Fan must die! Boss Ke, you must lead us to vent our anger! Boss Ke, you have to give it your all! Su Yu, who had been keeping an eye on the official forum, seeing the excited outcry from the yers, immediately expressed his stance, Rest assured everyone, if I get the chance to kill Xi Fan, I will risk my life to do so, to vent this anger for everyone! As the video spread widely, Xi Fans actions sparked public outrage in the entire gaming circle, causing all yers to share amon hatred against him. Although the Empires yers couldnt do anything to Xi Fan directly, they did their best to treat the civilians who survived the Frenzy Ceremony, or they personally joined the ceremony to reduce the frequency of Xi Fan using civilians. As for the rebels yers, they too could enter the Forest City and participate in the Frenzy Ceremony. After the ceremony, they would return to Goldfinch City, using their own power to urge the rebel troops to march towards the Forest City faster. The earlier the rebels arrived, the fewer civilians would die in the Forest City. Given Xi Fans tant breakthrough, his opponents and foreign forces would surely disagree. Six hours after the Frenzy Ceremony began, the northern sky was filled with arge number of small ck dots. The high-ranking powerhouses of the rebel side had arrived! Duke Anzu Seifer and Duke Landilus, leading all fifth-order and above powerhouses in the rebel army, reached the sky above the Forest City. The rebel side had 5 seventh-order powerhouses, 43 sixth-order powerhouses, and 387 fifth-order powerhouses. This does not include the reinforcements sent by the neighboring Lai Yin Empire C the pinnacle seventh-order Holy Knight T Yang and the pinnacle sixth-order mage Antondidas. In terms of high-endbat power, the rebel side even exceeded the Empires side. Besides humans, the appearances of seventh-order powerhouses from the Elf Race, Dwarf Race, Dragon Race, and Beast Race also appeared around the Forest City. However, due to the Peace Agreement signed between the major races, they could only observe silently and could not participate in the war. With Xi Fan at the helm, the Empires side naturally went on high alert, with all powerhouses of the fifth order and above converging around Xi Fan. Arge-scale battle was about to begin. Duke Landilus, flying at the forefront of the crowd, looked at Xi Fan in the sky above the magic array and loudly questioned: Xi Fan, you unscrupulously harmed countless civilians to upgrade your realm! Dont you feel ashamed? Heh! You speak so loftily. Xi Fan gave him a cold re. If you had such an opportunity, would you miss it? The expression on Duke Landiluss face changed slightly, but he immediately said loudly, I would certainly not do such a heinous act! We, the Kalet Rebel Army, always prioritize the safety of the people Really? Xi Fan interrupted him, At the ck Water City Battle half a year ago, you forced a group of farmers with no military training or equipment to charge to the front as cannon fodder for the regr army; When ck Water City couldnt be broken for a long time, you even had people throw nkets infected with gue viruses into the city, causing arge number of innocent civilians to contract the gue Hearing Xi Fans words, Landilus looked a bit ufortable. This information was top secret. He had disposed of the soldiers involved, so how did Xi Fan know? Duke Landilus hurriedly told the powerhouses behind him, We cant keep arguing with Xi Fan. The longer we dy, the more fragments he will gain from the Frenzy Ceremony. Mr. T Yang, your attributes counter Xi Fan the most, well rely heavily on you this time! Dont worry, leave it to me! T Yang drew a gleaming giant sword from behind him, and like a golden lightning bolt, charged at Xi Fan. All the powerhouses on the rebel side followed T Yang and attacked the enemy formation. A earth-shattering battle was about to unfold in the sky above Forest City. Chapter 221: 221, Princess Line 32-35 Ring_1 Chapter 221: Princess Line 32-35 Ring_1 Trantor: 549690339 Duke Anzu Seifer leads his powerful subordinates from the Northeast, and Duke Landilus leads his from the Southwest in a rushing attack. The two forces sandwich the Empires formation,unching a fierce assault on them. Over 700 strongest individuals of at least five ranks are fighting in the air and the loud noises continuously emerge from the sky above. Su Yu nces upwards and sees the sky filled with dazzling lights of all sorts, forming a massive light pollution that obscures the battle condition. Especially the zone where the seven-rank powerhouses are fighting, the light is extraordinarily blinding. A mere nce would sting your eyes considerably. With the fight of these powerful individuals, the ground of Forest City keeps trembling, causing slight earthquakes. yers in the city frantically cover their ears as they observe the ground to somewhat withstand the intense light and thunderous noises originating from above. After a while, the fight gradually intensifies. Every dozen seconds or so, a five-rank powerhouse would plunge from the sky and harshly crash onto the ground. These are the fallen five-rank powerhouses. Seeing this, the Empires NPCs of third and fourth ranks are like vultures that have spotted carrion. They rapidly pounce onto these fallen powerhouses. If theyre lucky, they can get lots of good stuff from their remains! yers are also highly interested in these remains, but they cantpete against the third and fourth-rank NPCs at gathering stuff due to their slow speeds. However, there are yers with ungodly luck as well. A yer named Shepherd in the Clouds from Mu Yun guild; a five-rank powerhouses corpse fell from the sky and just happened tond three meters in front of him! Shepherd in the Clouds pounced on it, without thinking and eventually uncovered a mage upation fourth-rank skill scroll[Dragon Breath (Excellent)]. His fantastic luck caused a considerable stir in the guilds channel with everyone expressing their envy for his outstanding fortune. The guild leader, Shepherd in the Clouds also congratted him, asking, How about selling that scroll? I can offer a hundred thousand spiritual energy coins. The value of the spiritual energy coin wasnt the same as before these days. Ever since the National announced information about the Skuru people, the spiritual energy coin sharply appreciated. It went from one spiritual energy coin being able to exchange for three types of Flower Coins to one spiritual energy coin for twenty-five types of Flower Coins. The hundred thousand spiritual energy coins offered by Shepherd in the Clouds could be swapped for 2.5 million Flower Coins! Yet, Shepherd in the Clouds didnt care about these coins in the slightest and quickly replied, My apologies, Chief, but I wont sell this scroll. I n to give the scroll to the best-suited person. Then he carried the scroll to the Shadow Magic Circle where Su Yu was tasked with issuing yer tasks and said, Boss Ke, I wish to present this skill scroll to you! A fourth-rank [Dragon Breath] skill scroll? Thats a great item! Su Yu illuminated and suggested: However, since its an expensive object, why dont I purchase it from you outright. How about a hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins? No, no, I wont ept a single coin! argued Shepherd in the Clouds: If I were after cash, I would have sold the scroll to the chief a long time ago. The reason I want to give it to you is that in your hands it will disy the maximum power! In short, I genuinely and sincerely wish to gift the scroll to you. Im adamant, I wont take any money! Alright then. Su Yu felt a warmth in his heart and epted the scroll. If that is the case, lets add each other as friends. If youe across any issues in the future, you cane and find me, and Ill help as much as I can! Su Yu suggested as he sent a friend request to Shepherd in the Clouds. That sounds great, Boss Ke! Shepherd in Clouds hurriedly epted the friend request, smiling brightly. Whats more face-lift than a friend spot from Boss Ke is 150,000 spiritual energy coins! The ongoing warfare of the finest powerhouses in the sky continues. Its still the same, every so often, there would be a powerhouse that falls. When the fight carried on for about 20 minutes, the vanguard of the rebels 200,000 army arrived. The attack on the city began in haste. This 200k army troops werent adequately equipped. Assault towers, city assault hammers, catapults and the like, their quantity was very scarce. Their primary goal for attacking the city wasnt really to bring down Forest City. Their actual purpose was to guard their powerhouses that were engaged in warfare in the sky. Namely in Forest City, other than the powerhouses of at least five ranks, there were plenty of archer formations of fourth-rank and lower by the Empire and wizard formationsposed of wizards. The arrowsunched collectively by the archer formations and the magic spells cast out by the wizard formations can create substantial trouble for the rebels five-rank powerhouses in the sky. So the 200k vanguard troops of the rebels attacked the city as a measure to draw the fire from the archer formations and the wizard formations, to cover their powerhouses in the sky. Because of the enemy troops arrival, the subsequent 32-35 quest-line given by the princess, everything is a war mission. yers received a series of transport logistics, scout enemies, build defensive infrastructures, and join in on the battlefield during the war missions, and they began to scurry around to fulfill them. As for Su Yu, it was his job to issue these war missions to the yers. During his free time between issuing tasks, Su Yu logged offline to save in-game time; alternatively, he would rely on his experience to find some hidden tasks that yield big rewards within the city. These tasks were assigned to the members of his guild, thus indirectly enhancing the overall strength of his guild. The ongoing warfare within the sky persisted for exactly 24 hours. Converted in game time, it felt like a continuous battle for twelve whole days. During this period, a total of 159 five-rank powerhouses from both sides perished, fourteen six-rank powerhouses fell, no seven-rank powerhouse perished yet, but a handful of them were critically injured. Its worth noting that during these 24 hours, Xi Fan gathered a considerable number of [Frenzy Fragments] through the Shadow Magic Circle. It meets the requirements for advancing to the next rank, and theres also a surplus quantity. With the boost from this surplus fragments, the Empires powerhouses started having the upper hand during the fight, pushing the rebels back. Xi Fan also severely guarded the Shadow Magic Circle and gradually expanded its scope. At the end of it all, the magic circle could even hold up to a hundred thousand yers at the same time. A total of 1.4 million yers went into the magic circle in these 24 hours. With Su Yu receiving amission of one percent, he obtained a total of 14,000 of all sorts of first-rank skill books. Some of these skill books were sold to his guild members at a friendly price, while 13,000 of the remaining were given to the relevant departments to be allocated to yers who disyed gaming talent but entered the gamete. After 24 hours of battle, Xi Fans advancement momentum was already unstoppable. With enough fragments umted, he could maximize the use of his items. He was only one step away from breaking through to the eighth rank. The rebels, on the other hand, were still at a disadvantage. They didnt see any hope of turning the tables around, not to mention for stopping Xi Fans breakthrough. Watching as Xi Fans momentum gradually increases, just as he was about to step into the rank of Divine powerhouses, At this crucial moment, a female Holy Knight called Madeline finally stood up! Chapter 222: 222, Self-destruction of the Seventh Order Strong One_1 Chapter 222: Self-destruction of the Seventh Order Strong One_1 Trantor: 549690339 Madeline was a level 83 legendary Holy Knight, just one level below the level 84 Xi Fan. In Su Yus first battle scene C [Encounter in the Giant Wood Canyon], she fought one-on-one with Xi Fan, was severely wounded, and still hasnt fully recovered. Madeline also attended this great war. But during the skirmish, she was conserving her energy and covertly gathering strength, preparing to deliver a heartless blow to Xi Fan. Moreover, her n was exceedingly ruthless C she had decided to self-destruct! To use her life to stop Xi Fan. Just as Xi Fan was on the verge of breaking through his bottleneck, Madeline shared an undaunted look with her friend, T Yang. T Yang knew what her friend was about to do and turned her head, not wanting her sorrowful expression to be seen. Heh! Madeline let out a roar of fury. Her body turned into a golden light sword several dozen meters long. The light sword charged at Xi Fan with an intimidating momentum and a speed that ordinary people couldntprehend, instantly reaching his side. Xi Fan was taken aback and hastily tried to block using a relic. But it was toote. Boom! The Golden Light Sword detonated all of its energy, and a golden mushroom cloud nearly a hundred meters in radius rose up around Xi Fan. yers in the city below were first blinded by a brilliant sh of light following Madelines self-destructionit was almost as if a sh bomb had exploded before their eyes, making them nearly blind even without looking up. 4-5 secondster, a deafening explosion reverberated from above. Apanying the explosion were the shockwaves from the st. The shockwave violently struck the city below, swiftly reducing yers HP to zero as a white light consumed them along with their physical forms. Su Yu quickly used [Ice Barrier] to shield against damage. But the shockwaves came one after another. Su Yu used [Ice Barrier] to block the first wave of damage, a tenfold thickness [Lightning Shield] to block the second wave, and took out a [Stopwatch] from his bag but did not dare use it. In the third wave of shockwaves, Su Yu saw his HP drop to zero, and was turned into white light as he met his first death. A legendary figureNemesisthus inexplicably perished amidst the area damage. . Back in the real world, at Su Yus home. Su Yu removed his helmet and sat up from his bed. At this time, he was still relishing the previous self-destruction: Madeline self-destructed, the power was indeed quite formidable. Madelines primary target was indeed Xi Fan. Without a doubt, Xi Fan would have had to bear a majority of the damage and other powerful individuals in the vicinity must have received some damage as well. And just like that, the residual shockwaves hit Forest City below, killing the yers on the ground. Probably half of Forest City was destroyed. As expected of a seventh-tier power! I wonder how Xi Fan is doing, I hope that old geezer was blown to smithereens! Su Yu thought to himself. Su Yu took out his mobile phone and checked the official forums to see what the yers were saying. The forum was already in chaos. What on earth just happened? I was in Forest City, how did I suddenly die? Im in Forest City as well, something seemed to have exploded above, then all of the city disappeared. It seems like Madeline, a seventh-tier power from the rebel side, self-destructed. I was close by and heard her voice. Self-destructing? The power is too great, isnt it? I wonder if that old fellow Xi Fan is dead. Su Yu roughly skimmed through the yersments. The Empire yers in Forest City had nearly all perished, except for those who ironically managed to survive at the outer edges of the city, such as by the city wall. However, these fortunate survivors reported that the centre of Forest City was nowpletely enveloped in a dense haze, making it impossible to see the situation inside. Huge, mixed energy currents raged in the sky, but it was unclear which powerhouses had perished in the explosion and which had survived. Su Yu quickly scanned the news, before closing the forum. He decided to do something rxing to help pass the half-hour death penalty. So, he dialed Xue Wenlis number. Beep Beep The call connected quickly. Hello? Su Yu? Whats up? Xue Wenlis voice echoed in his ear. Wen Li, could you find out whether there are any ghosts within fifteen minutes travel time from me? Alright, let me check A dozen secondster, she responded through the phone: There actually is! Its at the Sunshine Zone KTV, 50 metres east of the intersection between Guangpu Road and Jianshe Road Half an hourter, Su Yu, who had been killing ghosts, returned home. He felt refreshed! Killing ghosts was a tremendously stress-relieving pastime. Every time he felt upset or under pressure, he would kill some ghosts to unwind. It was the joy of doing good. Now the half-hour death penalty had passed. Su Yu was initially nning to check the official forum for any news, but he was short on time. He quickly put on his helmet and logged into the game. After logging in, the interface was slightly different from before. This time, there were two new options: [Resurrect in ce] and [Resurrect in graveyard]. The graveyard was one of the few safe zones in the game, where yers couldnt kill each other. The [Resurrect in graveyard] function was mainly to prevent yers from corpse camping. However, considering every yer in the city had died, the graveyard was bound to be crowded. After some thought, Su Yu chose [Resurrect in ce]. Having made his choice, Su Yus figure reappeared beside the Shadow Magic Circle. When Su Yu had died, there were many other yers around him. Most of these yers had the same idea as Su Yu, so they also chose to resurrect around him. Seeing Su Yu, everyone greeted him, and Su Yu quickly nodded in response. Looking around, the Shadow Magic Circle had beenpletely destroyed, and the ck fog that had enshrouded it had vanished. The houses around the square were in ruins, giving a glimpse into the scene of hell on earth. The sky was filled with grey dust, blocking out the sun. He couldnt see any powerhouses anywhere he looked. Su Yu opened up the Guild Masters chat room and asked: Has anything major happened in the game during this half-hour? And where did the powerhouses from the sky battle go? We answered by Red-Eyed ck Dragon responded quickly: Some yers from the Rebellion faction on the forum said the two Dukes retreated with the powerhouses. There were over four hundred when they came, but only over a hundred when they left. Shepherd in the Clouds: The Rebellion troops outside the city have also withdrawn. Laser Pen: Wow, the citizens of Forest City have really met a terrible fate this time. Even we yers couldnt withstand the damage from the residual impacts of the explosion, let alone the ordinary citizens. The death toll must be significant. Su Yu: There must be some good luck souls whove survived by hiding inside houses or basements, right? Regardless, lets try to find and help them. Also, let me know immediately if anything else major happens. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Understood. Shepherd in the Clouds: Roger that. Laser Pen: Got it. Chapter 223: 223, Alyssa regains consciousness, the arrival of the guardian angel’s avatar_1 Chapter 223: Alyssa regains consciousness, the arrival of the guardian angels avatar_1 Trantor: 549690339 Now, Forest City was shrouded in a veil of dust, reducing visibility to less than 10 meters. Many yers found their health being chipped away, with -3 or -5 appearing over their heads after they inhaled the dust swirling in the sky. This was slightly mitigated when the yers covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths. However, the yers were like headless flies, clueless about what they should do next. So, Su Yu decided to organize the nearby yers and act collectively to save the civilians of Forest City buried under the ruins. Most of the civilians of Forest City had tragically died in the shockwave. A small number of them survived either because their houses were sturdy or because they were hiding in basements. These civilians were ovee with gratitude when they were rescued by the yers. In gratitude, they awarded the yers the most rewarding tasks they could offer. Throughout the rescue process, the yers managed to gain quite some benefits. 10 minutester, Red-Eyed ck Dragon suddenly announced in the guild chat room: Attention everyone, theres a crucial update! Su Yu: Whats the update? Snow Leopard: What happened? Red-Eyed ck Dragon: A few yers from our guild are near the Princess House. The Princess House also turned to ruins in the shockwave, but a few of the princesss royal guards are still alive. Summer: And then? Red-Eyed ck Dragon: These guards are asking yers about what happened recently. Their memories only go back to the time in Goldfinch city, which was before they were under Xi Fans control! Laser Pointer: !!! So does this mean that Xi Fans control over the princess and her royal guards has been released? Is Xi Fan dead?! Snow Leopard: Not necessarily, Xi Fans control being lifted doesnt mean that Xi Fan is dead, it could also mean that Xi Fan is seriously injured and doesnt have the strength to control so many people. Nemesis, what should we do? Su Yu: Ill be right there! Su Yu first deployed a 20 times thickness [Lightning Shield], then equipped dual movement speed gear, and headed towards the Princess House like a gust of wind. The release of Xi Fans psychic control over Alyssa is massive news. Besides, Alyssa is now trapped under the ruins. They need to rescue her as soon as possible! Half an hourter, on the ruins of the Princess House. Su Yu led over a hundred yers who had rushed over to dig and remove the heavy stone walls, lift the massive beams, and clear the rubble. Eventually, under the ruins, they found Princess Alyssa, who was buried. Alyssa was a High-Ranking Mage, so she wasnt badly hurt, but she was still unconscious. Su Yu personally stepped forward and carried her out of the ruins. Seemingly sensing the movements around her, Alyssa gradually regained consciousness, slowly opening her beautiful eyes. Alyssa, youre awake! How do you feel, are you hurt anywhere? Su Yu quickly asked. Nemesis? Alyssa saw the familiar face and couldnt quite believe it. Hearing Alyssa say his name, Su Yu couldnt help but smile. It seemed Xi Fans control over Alyssa had indeed been lifted. Yes, its me. Su Yu set Alyssa on the ground and helped her dust off the debris. Nemesis, I never thought I would see you again. Two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of Alyssas eyes. She lunged into Su Yus arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck. During the days when she was under Xi Fans control, it was as if she was stuck in an incredibly long nightmare, a world of absurdities from which she felt she could never awake. Now that she was finally awake, and even saw the Nemesis she had longed for day and night, even someone as strong as her couldnt help but cry out loud, venting the resentment she had bottled up in her heart. Ding, [Princess Alyssa]s favorability towards you has increased (+7), bringing her favorability to enthusiastic. Ding, you have earned 20 World Prestige points. Including the newly obtained 20 World Prestige points, Su Yu now has 33 points. This made him a well-known figure throughout the Goldfinch Empire, his status now equivalent to the level of a Unicorn Knight Brigade leader like Tina. But Su Yu didnt care about these things at all. He helped Alyssa clean the dust mixed in her brown hair and said earnestly, Alyssa, I promise Ill kill Xi Fan for you! Yeah, I trust you. Alyssa, mustering courage from somewhere, suddenly tiptoed and lightly kissed Su Yus neck, then buried her face into his chest again. Su Yu was slightly taken aback. What was happening to Alyssa? Shes just 14! He suddenly felt the watchful gaze of the Great River God on him. It wasnt just Su Yu and Alyssa atop the ruins of the Princess House. More than a hundred yers who participated in the excavation were surrounding them. It was already strange when they saw the princess throw herself into Su Yus arms. Now seeing Alyssa give Su Yu a peck on the neck, many yers felt numb. They felt as though they were forced to swallow dog food. Everyone turned their backs, pretending they didnt see anything. Some people started whispering: Its over. Now that the princess has stepped up, both Daves and Tinas stocks have plummeted. Daves stock had already fallen to zero, didnt you see the guide Boss Ke posted yesterday? True, Dave is more of a strategic nuclear missile level, its normal for Boss Ke to be nicer to him. But Tinas case is unforgivable! Who has the recording? I must post a video for Tinas followers to feel irritated. Alyssa didnt understand what these adventure seekers in the other world were talking about. Tinas stock? What is that? She lifted her head from Su Yus chest, Nemesis, what has happened while I was being controlled by Xi Fan? She also nced around at the unfamiliar environment. It wasnt Goldfinch City. A lot has happened during this time. Su Yu gathered his thoughts and filled Alyssa in about her possession and seizing of the throne, Xi Fans realm breakthrough, and the epic battle of the 700 high-ranking powerhouses. Then what happened afterward? Did Xi Fan die? Alyssa nervously asked. Im not sure, Su Yu shook his head, I think he might be dead since the control over you is now released. But then, a weary voice came from the distant sky, No, youre wrong. Xi Fan is not dead. A white light rapidly approached from the horizon. It turned into a human shape in front of Su Yu and Alyssa, revealing an avatar of Guardian God Kevin Forsythia! Guardian! Alyssas face turned red, and she quickly stepped back from Su Yus embrace. Yet, Kevin Forsythia was looking with amused expression at Su Yu. Alyssa has taken a liking to this boy Nemesis. Could he be Alyssas future husband? But hes an otherworld adventurer! Otherworld adventurers have the ability to revive soon after death. Does this mean that Nemesis and Alyssas future offspring will also have this against-the-nature ability? Hmm, at any rate, I need to conduct some experiments first. Kevin Forsythias thoughts were starting to digress. Chapter 224: 224, [Dragon Race Favor Potion]_1 Chapter 224: [Dragon Race Favor Potion]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu had no idea that Kevin Forsythia was considering him and Alyssas future child. When Su Yu heard that Xi Fan was alive, he asked urgently, Teacher, you said Xi Fan is alive, where is he now? Do you have the confidence to kill him? As long as Xi Fan was alive, he was a massive threat. One day, he would be dangerous to him. So if possible, Xi Fan needs to be eliminated as soon as possible! I came to see you for this matter. When talking about Xi Fan, Kevin Forsythia momentarily cast aside the muddled thoughts in his head, concerning grooming Nemesis and Alyssas child. He became serious: In fact, before the big battle, I was already in Forest City, observing in secret. Xi Fans ascension process was interrupted by Madelines self-destruction, but it did not kill him. It only severely wounded him. But Xi Fan concealed it well and used a spell to make others think he was dead. Both Anzu Seifer and Landilus were convinced that Xi Fan had died, and they left with their teams. I found Xi Fans hiding ce and have been chasing him. Xi Fan escaped, I couldnt catch him. Kevin Forsythia sighed. Escaped? Su Yu twitched the corners of his mouth; it seemed a bit casual. Can we still find Xi Fan? Of course. Kevin Forsythia nodded: But you will have to rely on you otherworldly adventurers. Given the current situation in Forest City, only you can provide enough assistance. Ding, [Glory of the Forsythia Empire (35/100)] has beenpleted. You have received Experience Points x20,000, [Dragon Race Favor Potion] x1. [Dragon Race Favor Potion]? What the heck is that? Just as Su Yu thought about it. An orange light flew out of Kevin Forsythias hand and dropped into Su Yus hand: It was a potion made of a transparent magic crystal, filled with a sticky orange substance which was simr to honey. [Dragon Race Favor Potion (Rare)]: After drinking, the dragon species favorability towards you +20,sts 24 hours. Simultaneously, Kevin Forsythias voice came into Su Yus ears: I just saw you trading with Xi Fan and getting a Blue Dragons heart. You n on using this heart to enhance your own power, right? Thats right. Since Kevin Forsythia already knew, there was no need for him to deny it. The dragon race is quite vengeful, using the Blue Dragons heart to enhance your strength will attract the disgust of the dragon race. They might even send dragons to hunt you down! But it will be different with this potion. Kevin Forsythia stroked his beard and smiled: When you use the Blue Dragons heart to enhance your strength, you can mix this potion in with the heart, and the effect of the potion will be permanent. By then, maybe you can even hook up with a small female dragon on Dragon Ind. You probably dont know this, but small female dragons, especially Red Dragons, have robust bodies and strong muscles. Riding them has a special charm. Especially after they transform into their human forms, riding cough, cough At this point, he seemed to realize that continuing would lead to inappropriate content. Considering the minor Alyssa was present, it was indeed not suitable to continue, so he stopped the conversation. The surrounding yers all had WTF expressions on their faces. They could somewhat understand riding a dragon, but can you also ride a dragon in human form? They felt there was something wrong with this sentence! Su Yu shook the potion in his hand, the rare quality of the potion caught his attention. If the quality of the potion could be improved He quickly asked a question: Teacher, the quality of this [Dragon Race Favor Potion] seems very ordinary. What if I have a higher quality potion? A higher-quality potion? Then of course, the favorability it increases is higher. If you can get a potion of the highest quality, the little female dragons with excellent talents on Dragon Ind will probably be fighting for you to ride them. Kevin Forsythia didnt want to waste time on meaningless questions. After finishing, he changed the topic: Alright, now gather the otherworldly adventurers here, then go find Xi Fan. If Xi Fan escapes from Forest City, it will be troublesome. Okay, Su Yu carefully ced the potion into his backpack and said seriously: What do I need to do next? You just need to gather the otherworldly adventurers within 40 meters of me, and I will cast a buff spell on you. You will be able to find Xi Fans location with the buff. Ding, your task has been updated, [The Glory of the Forsythia Empire (36/100)]. Task requirement: Gather at least 1,000 yers around Kevin Forsythia. Task reward: Experience Points x23,000, [Intermediate Magic Potion (Gold)] x1. After receiving the task, Su Yu immediately contacted the yers in the guild channel and the guild master chatroom. The task description says at least, so of course they should gather as many as possible. But Kevin Forsythia took Alyssa, who knows how many generationster granddaughter, to the side of the pce ruins. When they reached a less crowded corner, he cast a [Sound Barrier] to shield them both. Elder, do you have something to tell me? Alyssa respectfully saluted Kevin Forsythia. Alyssa, good child, Kevin Forsythia graciously looked at this granddaughter of unknown generations apart. Alyssas father was not too reliable, nor too intelligent, even lost half of the Empires territory. Alyssa was much better. She was smart and decisive. The Empire could be revived under her leadership. I dont know if her and Nemesis child could inherit more of the mothers good traits, the guardians thoughts once again strayed. Not muchter, he was back to reality, his expression gradually bing stern: Alyssa, I want to tell you two things. The first thing, regarding the time you were controlled by Xi Fan, I am sorry. This avatar of mine was with the main body and couldnt protect you well. Its okay, ancestor. Your main body is the cornerstone of our Empire and is much more important than me, Alyssa knew how to speak. As for the second point, it involves Xi Fan. Xi Fan is guilty of severe crimes. During this Forest City battle, at least 400,000 civilians and soldiers stationed in the city were killed or wounded! As the one who is about to be the supreme leader of the Empire, you must give an exnation to the people. What should I do? The best way is for you to personally kill Xi Fan! In this way, you can win the hearts of the domestic poption, which is the foundation for ruling. Wait for Nemesis to find Xi Fans location, and then you should personally kill Xi Fan! Kevin Forsythia was resolute. Chapter 225: 225, “Prince Ke”_1 Chapter 225: Prince Ke_1 Trantor: 549690339 Kevin Forsythia didnt mention one crucial point C Xi Fan didnt run away on his own ord, rather Kevin had intentionally let him escape. The reason he released Xi Fan, instead of killing him himself, was to allow Alyssa to do the deed. Only with Alyssa personally ying Xi Fan could she establish enough prestige among the people, thus winning their hearts for the Forsythia Empire. While doing this gave Xi Fan a chance for a breather it wasnt important. For the ultimate victory, taking a bit of risk was worth it. Alyssas face was filled with seriousness: But, my ancestor, I am now just a fourth order Mage, how am I supposed to kill a seventh order Xi Fan? Dont worry about that, I have already nned for it, Kevin Forsythia confidently stated: This incarnation of mine is a pure energy form, with power around the peak of seventh order. I will dismantle this incarnation and channel all its energy into you, granting you the power to defeat Xi Fan. Dismantle the incarnation? Alyssa was greatly shocked, she understood what it implicated. Her ancestor dismantling his incarnation and giving the energy to her was akin to transferring a part of his power to her permanently! That was indeed a great gift! None of her predecessors, the Emperors of the Forsythia Dynasty, had ever been bestowed such an honor. Kevin Forsythia affectionately looked at Alyssa: After this incarnation is dismantled, I wont be able to interact with you via it. Then, the path of reviving the Forsythia Empire will be solely up to you. Of course, you can also seek Nemesis and [Tina Garcia] I mentioned to you before, they will aid you. Okay, ancestor, I will do my best! Alyssa suddenly felt the weight on her shoulders growing heavier. After everything was said and done, Kevin Forsythia casually lifted the [Soundproof Barrier]. However, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask: By the way, Alyssa, regarding the education of your and Nemesis child, you both can send the kid over to my real body, I can personally enlighten the child with some knowledge. The Forsythia Empire cannot afford another ruler like your father. Alyssa: ?? Child, what child? Those around, upon hearing what was said, were also greatly shocked, they widened their eyes and looked over. A child born of Nemesis and Alyssa? yers can have children with NPCs? But Alyssa is only 14 years old, wasnt this outrageous?! Quite a few yers even nced toward Alyssas belly, could it be that . The yers, agitated, opened their private chat windows and the guild channel one by one to share this with their friends. Furthermore, this news was too explosive, in no time at all, almost every yer in the game came to know about it! Su Yu had no inkling about all that had happened, he was busy contacting yers toe over and take on the mission. Once yers entered within a 40-meter radius of Kevin Forsythia, they would get the buff [Track the Secret]. [Track the Secret]: If you get any clues rted to the [Shadow Priest Xi Fan], a prompt will be automatically given, itsts for 6 hours. At the same time yers get a buff, they also trigger the side-quest of an epic level C [Find Xi Fan]. [Find Xi Fan (Epic)] Mission Requirements: Follow the [clues] rted to [Shadow Priest Xi Fan], find Xi Fan. Reward for the mission: For every [clue] decrypted, get reward Experience Points 1000, spiritual energy coins X10. The first 5 yers who can find Xi Fan will get bonus Experience Points X20000, Spiritual Energy coins X2000, a random epic grade equipment for your ss and a rare quality [Pet Egg]. After receiving the mission, some yers immediately uploaded a screenshot of the mission rewards to the forum. Very quickly, the screenshot caused a sensation on the forum! Epic quality equipment! Rare quality pet egg! These havent even appeared in the game yet, have they? Upon receiving this information, yers, especially those already in Forest City, flocked over in droves, gathering towards Su Yu. To the point where, soon enough, people filled every corner of the Princesss House, everyone wanting to try their luck. When Su Yu saw so many peopleing, he no longer continued to rally yers. He went over to Alyssa to catch up with her and discuss what to do next. After all, Forest City had now turned into ruins, the fighting power of the army was almost gone, and it was unknown how many high-ranking powerhouses were still alive. If the rebels made aeback, it would be hard to defend Forest City. However, seeing Su Yu and the princess together, many yers greeted him with winks and raised eyebrows: Hello, Boss Ke! Su Yu: Hello. Another yer: Hello, Prince Ke! Su Yu: ??? Prince Ke? What kind of address is this? Yet another yer came over and waved to Su Yu: Hello, beast! Su Yu: Youre the beast, your whole family is beast! Su Yu grabbed this yer and questioned him, then the yer grinned and told Su Yu all he knew about the situation. Only then did Su Yu understand what was going on. He quickly went to the forum to post exnation, and only then did this incident gradually calm down. However, the address Prince Ke seemed to be preserved, and many people no longer referred to him as Boss Ke, but called him Prince Ke. Once the yers received the mission, they immediately dispersed to different parts of the city to look for Xi Fans trace. The Red-Eyed ck Dragon was one of them. Faced with such generous mission rewards, even he, a person of high status, felt a little jealous. After epting the mission, he trusted his instincts and led his team towards the slums in the south of Forest City. The slums were crowded with people and tightly packed buildings, making them the perfect ce to hide. At the moment, most of the buildings in the slum had been destroyed in the recent st, and they were surrounded by injured slum dwellers everywhere, the order waspletely chaotic. Just as they entered the slum, Zhen Hong and his teammates quickly received a game prompt. Ding, [Clue One] has been discovered. [Clue One] Target: Heal [Farmer John]. Zhen Hong was delighted, he didnt expect their luck could be so good that they would find a clue so quickly! Looking forward, there was an old farmer crying with his broken arm by the side of a leaning wall, his name was [Farmer John]. Without him reminding them, their teams priest [Blue-Eyed White Dragon] instantly sent several healing spells his way. Under the effect of the healing spells, Johns HP quickly filled up. However, the healing spells could only help him recover HP, yet his arm was still broken. Helplessly, Zhen Hong and his teammates ran around the copsed medical shops nearby and dug up splints, ointments, and bandages for treating broken arms from the ruins of the shops. Having applied the splint to Johns broken arm, they received a game prompt that [Clue One] has beenpleted. Zhen Hong exhaled in relief and looked at John with a pleasant look: Excuse me, did you see a person in a ck mages robe passing by? Or, purely speaking, a wisp of pure ck fog passing by? No, adventurer, John shook his head repeatedly. My arm hurts so much that it feels like its being torn apart. How could I pay attention to anything else? At this moment, Zhen Hong and his teammates received another game prompt: [Clue One] is a false clue. Please look for the next clue. Zhen Hong: Chapter 226: 226, Death of Xi Fan_1 Chapter 226: Death of Xi Fan_1 Trantor: 549690339 Other yers had experiences simr to the Zhen Hong Squad; half an hour after receiving the mission, they began to discover their Clue One sessively. The content of Clue One varied; some involved saving injured civilians, some involved killing rabid animals, and some involved dealing with criminals taking advantage of the chaos. After a forum discussion, everyone found that Clue One was irrelevant in 99.9% of the urrences, except for one lucky yer called Insane Piano Key, who obtained a valid clue. Through this valid clue, yers conjectured that Xi Fans hiding ce is likely in the eastern civilian area of the city! As a result, the yers abandoned all other areas and all came to the eastern civil district to explore. Hundreds of thousands of yers participated in a block-by-block search, assisting civilians throughout the eastern districts streets. Eventually, one valid clue after another was sessfully found. Su Yus main quest was also rted to these clues C The Glory of the Forsythia Empire, stages 37-39. Following the other yers, he unravelled these clues andpleted two of Xi Fans high-difficulty maze decryption tasks. Ultimately, during the 40th stage of the task, in a house in the civilian district yet to copse, Su Yu and the yers sessfully found the injured Xi Fan and promptly notified Princess Alyssa. A few minutester. A dazzling sword light streaked across the sky, and the roof of the sturdy stone house was cut away as easily as tofu. Alyssa held a silvernce, floating in the sky. She looked coldly at Xi Fan, who was sitting in the house below, with a dozen colorful [Stun Patterns] floating behind her, the symbol of thebat mage profession. Now, Alyssa has been fully blessed by the Guardians avatar, her strength reaching the seventh steps peak. Of course, this power is of an external nature. The Princess herself only has the power of the fourth step, but she can temporarily activate this part of the power to reach the peak of the seventh step to fend off enemies. It doesnt belong to her alone. And the more she uses this power, the less it bes, so she must use it cautiously at the most critical moment. Xi Fans face is unusually pale now, and hes in pretty bad shape. The ck fog on his body is swirling irregrly, almost unable to suppress his internal injuries. Xi Fan still finds it hard to believe that hes ended up in such a dire situation. He initially thought he could fulfil his long-cherished wish to be the thirteenth god level powerhouse in this world! But to his surprise, Madelines terrifying self-destructpletely shattered his dream. Madelines self-destruction not only caused him to fail in his breakthrough but his overall strength fell straight from 84 to 82, suffering serious injuries. While there may seem to be only a two-level difference between 82 and 84, the power gained from each level up exponentially increases in theter stages. The power at level 84 is almost twice that of level 82. That means, Xi Fans strength had been nearly halved. Add serious injuries to the mix, and his current power was less than a quarter of his peak. Afterwards, Kevin Forsythia continuously pursued him without a break, leaving him no time to recuperate and his injuries to worsen instead. By now, Xi Fan seemed to understand that he was destined to die this day. He looked up, facing Alyssas gaze with a nk face, If Im not mistaken, Alyssa, you should have obtained a part of that old guy, Kevin Forsythias power, right? Alyssa didnt answer as she secretly gathered her magic power, preparing to release a powerful strike to kill Xi Fan. But with just you, how could you trap me? Xi Fan disdainfully got up, unafraid to meet Alyssas gaze. But at that moment, three powerful figures appeared at the exact east, south, and west sides of the house. These three powerful figures coolly looked at Xi Fan, What if we join? These three, of course, were the Empires seventh-step powerhouses. They were Sharon, the Chief Mage of the royal family, Rnd, the Tower Master of Silver Pine, and Andrew, the legendary mercenary of the Mercenary Guild. During Madelines earth-shattering self-destruction, the Empire Marshal, Charles Forsythia, had fallen unexpectedly, while Rnd and Andrew were seriously injured, with Sharon being slightly injured. Although they were all injured, they had to stand up and make their stance clear at this critical juncture. The Princess was currently in the lead, so they logically stood by the Princesss side. They helped whoever won. Looking at the three same-level adversaries in the sky, Xi Fan knew he definitely couldnt escape today. At the end of his life, he suddenly thought of Madeline, an old enemy he had been entangled with for a thousand years. Madeline ruined his path of evolution with her self-destruction and destroyed herself as well. What about me? Could I also destroy the future of the Forsythia Empire with my sacrifice? Xi Fans eyes grew perilously dangerous. Alyssa, Sharon, Rnd, Andrew. Among these four, two were seriously injured. If he were to self-destruct like Madeline, he could probably take at least two with him! By then, without the support of high-ranking powerhouses, the Forsythia Empire would be history! With this in mind, the ck fog around Xi Fan suddenly started to surge violently. He transformed into an arrow formed of ck fog, rushing towards Alyssa with an unstoppable force. Haha, Forsythia Empire, lets go to hell together! Amid Xi Fans manicughter, the fog-arrow closed in on Alyssa. But Alyssa was not panicked at all. Because Su Yu had long guessed that Xi Fan might self-destruct and had given her a weapon in advance. With a wave of her small hand, the weapon that Su Yu had given her was brought out. It was a rusty long sword, indeed the Best Sword in the Vige. Take this! Alyssa shouted softly and pointed the rusty sword at Xi Fan. With a crisp bang, the de separated from the hilt and fell to the ground. At the same time, Xi Fan fell into a state of surprise. Although the surprise state onlysted for about 0.5 seconds, this state had an absolutely severe consequence C his self-destruction process was interrupted! The interrupted self-destruct sequence caused him to be overwhelmed by a counterattack of massive magic, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Is it a weapon ofw?! How is the Vige Chiefs sword in your hands? Xi Fan gawked at the sword hilt in Alyssas hand. Theres no time to exin! Xi Fan, now its time to pay for the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who died because of you! [Shining Dragon Crescent sh]! The mighty Shining Dragon Crescent sh was summoned by Alyssa, stabbing directly into the ck fog around Xi Fan. The golden [Dragons Pattern] on the Shining Dragon Crescent sh exploded. Bang! A deafening explosion, Xi Fan waspletely engulfed by the explosion. Xi Fans life force disappeared rapidly in the explosion. In the end, Xi Fan, a generation of prominent figures, saw his life of sin ended by the Princess powerful strike. Xi Fan,pletely fallen. Chapter 227: 227, [Xi Fan’s Soul Fragment (Legend)]_1 Chapter 227: [Xi Fans Soul Fragment (Legend)]_1 Trantor: 549690339 After Xi Fan fell, a vast amount of dark fog overflowed from his body, uncontrobly scattering in all directions. Alyssa, in unison with three other seventh-tier powerhouses, cast a seal spell, finally confining Xi Fans body and the dark fog into a metal container the size of a basketball. This prevented the spreading fog from causing secondary harm to the civilian area below. After the seal was in ce, Alyssa stowed the metal container into her space ring. Then she ascended high into the sky and addressed the citys inhabitants: Hello everyone, I am Princess Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum, of the Empire. A terrible disaster has urred in our Forest City. Half a month ago, the national teacher Xi Fan seized control of my father the emperor and forged imperial edicts to carry out the inhumane Frenzy Ceremony at the city center, driving many residents into the ceremony, causing their minds to go berserk and attack each other. In this half months time, Xi Fan has caused at least 200,000 civilian casualties and over a million adventurers from other realms have been sacrificed! But today, with the help of the Guardian God, I personally killed Xi Fan! No one needs to worry about being forced into the Frenzy Ceremony any longer. I will lead all of you moving forward, help you rebuild your homes, and vow on the reputation of the Golden Chrysanthemum family! Alyssas voice, bolstered by an immense magical power, echoed throughout the city. Upon hearing the princesss voice, many of the popce felt as if they saw a glimmer of light in the darkness. Especially the civilians who had experienced the Frenzy Ceremony, they could not help being moved to tears. This half month has been a nightmare for the inhabitants of Forest City. Many were unwittingly dragged into the Frenzy Ceremony and met their untimely end. In just a short half month, countless lives were lost. Those who were lucky enough to survive the ceremony were either left permanently disabled or deeply traumatized. Then, Forest City was hit by the unprecedented shockwave, causing the destruction of over half the city, A month ago, Forest City was the Empires secondrgest city with a poption close to 500,000; after these two cmities, the citys poption may be less than 100,000. 80% of the people died in this uprising. People struggled painfully in this nightmare, not knowing when they could awaken. Now, hearing Alyssas voice was like a beam of light in the darkest moment before dawn, illuminating every persons heart. They suddenly felt that as long as Alyssa was in Forest City, there was still hope, hope for the Empire too! Many of the popce were sobbing, choking out the words: Your Highness, its truly a blessing that you are alive! Thank you for avenging the souls of the deceased by killing Xi Fan! Princess, I vow to follow you forever! I hope you can save our homnd. The yers in the city also continued to assist the victims. Seeing their tear-streaked faces, the yers were deeply moved, and their eyes could not help but well up with tears. The yers were reminded of the real world, where many cities would likely face devastating cmities like Forest City after massive invasions by the Skuru people. At the same time, the yers also thought of that man. There was this one man, who with his own power, helped mankind capture two Spiritual Spring Eyes. Now, this mans territory has been promoted to a city, and in the future, he will be the first high-ranking powerhouse among mankind. If Alyssa represented the hope of the people of Forest City, then that man was undoubtedly the hope of the humans of Blue Star! The yers paused from their work and looked in the direction of Su Yu. After Alyssa made her announcement, she slowly descended from the sky. The trio of Sharon exchanged nces and paid their respects to Alyssa. Rnd, the master of the Silver Pine Tower, respectfully said: Mighty Princess, half a month ago we were bound to join Xi Fan owing to his powerful influence Enough. Alyssa waved a hand to interrupt him: Let bygones be bygones. In consideration of your efforts in thwarting Xi Fan today, I will not hold the past against you. Alyssa also wanted to pursue the matter of their betrayal of the Emperor, but now was the time for utilizing assistance, not for assigning me. Only after defeating the rebel army would she settle scores with the three of them. Thank you, Your Highness, the princess. The three of them clearly breathed a sigh of relief. However, if you have any crooked thoughts again, Hifans fate will be yours, understand? Alyssa warned. Understood! Of course, we understand! The three hurriedly replied. Now that Hifan was dead and the missionpleted, princesss guard Keerderon was responsible for rewarding the five yers who first discovered Hifan. In the envious eyes of the surrounding yers, these yers received the rare pet eggs and epic equipment handed over by Keerderon, each with a happy smile on their face. Princess Alyssa also flew towards the yers. She nodded at these five yers with a smile, thennded next to Su Yu: Nemesis, what kind of reward would you like? As she spoke, the princess returned the [Viges Best Sword] to Su Yu. Before Su Yu could speak, the surrounding yers excitedly interjected: He wants to be a prince, of course! Your Highness, the Princess, Nemesis intends to be a Royal Prince! Your Highness, the Princess, Boss Ke is rich! If he can be a prince, the military expenses for theing years will be covered! A prince? Hearing the shouts of the yers, Alyssa was slightly taken aback. She blushed slightly and quickly waved her hand: No, a prince can only be granted after Ie of age. Now is not the time. When Su Yu heard the yers say that he was rich, he remembered something C he had promised Kevin Forsythia that he would give the 16 million spiritual energy coins he had earned in the Orleans Citys grand arena to Alyssa for military funds. Now its time for him to make good on his promise since Alyssa has broken free from Hifans control. Su Yu took out a ck magic crystal card from his bag, entered 16 million into it, and handed it to Alyssa: Alyssa, this is the military fund I promised the guardian deity, you keep it. Thank you, Nemesis! Alyssa was also aware of the matter of 16 million, and she readily epted the money. Ding, [Princess Alyssas] fondness for you +1. Seeing as youve given these 16 million, I will reward you with something good! The princess was slightly in a better mood and said with a smile. Ding, [Honor of the Forsythia empire (40/100)] has beenpleted, you have received a reward: Experience Points x26000, [Fragment of Hifans Soul] x1. Alyssa took out a metal container that sealed Hifan, performed a spell, and gave the obtained ck-purple crystal to Su Yu. [Fragment of Hifans soul (Legendary)] Item attributes: Carry this item with you, you can cast spells of the [Shadow Priest] ss, the power of the spell depends on your spell strength. List of spells that can be cast: [Shadow Frenzy] [Mental Theft] [Psychic st] [Mind Control] [Shadow Word: Pain] Note: This fragment supports the use of [Shadow Priest] ss spells up to (100) times. After exceeding the number of uses, the fragment will disappear. Chapter 228: 228, Rebel Armies Pressing the Border_1 Chapter 228: Rebel Armies Pressing the Border_1 Trantor: 549690339 This is indeed a good thing! Su Yus eyes lit up. Many skills of the shadow priest are very useful, such as [Mental Theft], [Mind Control], and so on. Last time at the Giant Skru Base on Lingwu Mountain, he made a great contribution by using the [Mind Control] skill of the priest ss. The only regret is that this fragment is not golden and cannot be brought out of the game. If there are sufficient [Tinas Blood] in the future, he could consider gilding it. Su Yu satisfyingly put the fragment into his backpack. So far, the 40th quest of the princess line has beenpleted smoothly. The following quests from 41st to 44th are roughly divided into two categories: One is the internal affairs of the Forest City, such as counting casualties, saving lives, requesting help from nearby lords, and carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work in Forest City; The other is dealing with the imminent threat of the rebel army. ording to the statistics gathered by yers, the number of inhabitants in Forest City dropped from 500,000 to 95,000 after the disaster, 80% of the inhabitants lost their lives in the catastrophe. Therge army gathered in Forest City also suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 200,000 of the 500,000 troops being injured or killed in the shockwave. Moreover, the death of the Grand Marshal of the Empire, Charles Goldfinch, and a group of senior officers drastically reduced thebat effectiveness of the Imperial Army. The rebel leaders Anzu Seifer and Landilus would naturally not miss such a good opportunity and constantly sent spies to Forest City for information. After probing the reality of Forest City, they immediately gathered theirrge army tounch a total attack on Forest City, in hopes of taking the entire city. By the end of the 44th quest in the princess line, the rebel army of 700,000 had already set out from Goldfinch City, directing its troops towards Forest City. The morale of the rebel army is running high. The mighty ones who participated in the high-ranking battle of Forest Cityst time are among the army, making it an invincible force. On the other hand, the morale of the imperial soldiers is generally quite low, and pessimism is spreading among the military. The quest has now reached the 45th in the princess line. In a pce to the west of the city. This pce is the only one in the city that was not reduced to ruins in the shockwave, now used by Alyssa as themand center of the city. Inside the grand conference room of the pce, a highest-level military strategy meeting is in session. Princess Alyssa is sitting at the head of the conference room, looking a bit haggard. Its been a half-month since thest high-ranking battle. During this half month, Alyssa took all military and political affairs of the Empire upon herself, personally attending to every matter, barely pulling the Empire back from the edge. But what troubles her the most is the impending rebel army. On the wall of the conference room, there is a huge military deployment map. On the map, the red symbolizing the strength of the Empire shrinks into a few big cities like Forest City and Pearl City; while the blue symbolizing the strength of the rebel forces not only upies more than half of the Empire, but also mobilizes arge army marching towards Forest City. The Empire is now at a life-and-death moment. The military and political figures of the Empires side sit at the conference table in front of the princess, among them the royal magician, Sharon, and three other seventh-rank powerhouses. Of course, Su Yu is also here, and his position is rtively forward, sitting to the right of the princess. Gentlemen. After the meeting started, the princess put her crossed fingers to her lips, gazing seriously at those present: Now that the rebel army has officially started, do any of you have any suggestions? Lucas, you start. Lucas is the highest-ranking general in the army. After the fall of Grand Marshal Charles Goldfinch, he took over as the temporary marshal of the empire. Your Highness, Princess. Lucas stood up and bowed slightly to the princess, My suggestion is still the same retreat, we lead the troops to retreat to Orleans City. Orleans City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The narrow mountain roads can block the progress of the rebel army. I think so too. Yes, its better to retreat now. Your Highness, Princess, given the current situation in Forest City, we definitely cant hold it. The few generals sitting at the end of the conference table expressed their opinions one after another. Alyssas expression didnt change. She looked at Su Yu beside her: Nemesis, what do you think? Should we withdraw our troops and abandon Forest City? Hearing Alyssas question, Su Yu sat up straight. He considered for a moment, then cautiously answered: I agree with the generals opinions. I also believe that leading the troops to strategically move to Orleans City is the best choice. Upon hearing Su Yus words, the generals present collectively sighed in relief. They knew how substantial Su Yus words were to the princess. Basically, Alyssa takes Su Yus advice to heart. One word from Su Yu was more effective than theirbined ten words. No wonder they say that the wind from the pillow is the scariest, right? ButC Su Yus tone suddenly raised. Along with the rise in Su Yus tone, the generals hearts also shot up. The generals hearts, which had just dropped, were immediately lifted to their throats. All eyes were fixed on Su Yu. Su Yus expression was unchanged, he smiled and said, We can retreat, but we must think ahead about what to do after the retreat. We are not heading to Orleans City to hide in a corner, but to ultimately defeat the rebel army, reim the territory of the empire, and let the people live a happy and peaceful life. So during the retreat, we must carefully consider our next move. Nemesis, do you have a good n in mind? Alyssa cast an expectant nce at Su Yu. Yes. Su Yu nodded. I think we need to use new weapons. After Su Yu finished speaking, he took out a weapon from his backpack and pped it on the long table in the conference room. In an instant, all eyes of the meeting room were on Su Yus hand. This weapon was not a shining de, but a long object simr to a fire stick. But upon closer inspection, it wasnt a fire stick. The front of the weapon wasnt made of wood, but an iron tube. If a yer were here, they would recognize this weapon at a nce. Its a flintlock rifle! People from the Blue Star were very familiar with. But the senior Imperial officers present didnt recognize it, and many of them cast questioning nces at Su Yu. Lucas, the oldest officer in the military, seemed to have thought of something and asked, Is this the Dwarf Kingdoms rifle? I think Ive seen it before. Su Yu nodded: Yes, this is a rifle, an upgraded version of the revolver rifle C a flintlock rifle. Currently, my territory can produce this weapon. The technology tree of Su Yus territory is very strong. As research progresses in theter stages, even [Doomsday Mecha] can be produced. The production of some ordinary guns is naturally no problem. Now his territory has just been upgraded to the [City] stage, and in terms of military technology, it just got the [Military Science] research, which can mass-produce flintlock rifles. Researching a rifled gun with rifling groove is not far away. Such a good thing, Su Yu of course intended to take advantage of it, mass produce, export military products, and develop the territorys characteristic military industry. Military industry is a lucrative business. By using this as a breakthrough, he could earn a lot of spiritual energy coins from NPC. Chapter 229: 229, Village Chief, God Level Powerhouse? _1 Chapter 229: Vige Chief, God Level Powerhouse? _1 Trantor: 549690339 At that moment, a high-ranking officer sitting at the end of the conference table stood up to Su Yu, asking respectfully, Your Excellency Nemesis, how should this weapon be operated? Su Yu picked up the flintlock, Ill give you a demonstration. With his left hand holding the pistol, he took a pack of gunpowder from his bag with his right hand and tore open the pack with his mouth. Then, he tipped part of the gunpowder into the pan of the flintlock. After closing the lid, he ced the firearm vertically and filled the barrel with the remaining gunpowder. He then pulled out the ramrod attached underneath the gun barrel and firmly pushed the gunpowder to the bottom to prevent it, as well as the bullet, from falling out. Finally, he slid the ramrod back into its original ce. The entire preparation was considered done. After finishing the preparation, Su Yu raised the flintlock, cocked the hammer, and aimed at the wall of the conference room and pulled the trigger. Boom! The bullet flew out of the gun muzzle and hit the pristine wall creating a dark bullet hole. The high-ranking officials of the Empire silently watched Su Yus demonstration. Upon witnessing the destructive power of the flintlock, they were not particrly surprised. In fact, some even looked slightly disappointed. Acting Marshal Lucas coughed lightly and said, Your Excellency Nemesis, if Im not mistaken, it appears that the power of this weapon is roughly equivalent to that of an arrow shot by a first-level archer. Its power seems to be minimal. The other officers nodded in agreement. The soldiers in the elite units of the Empire were generally in the second and third levels. Su Yus weapons might be useful against ordinary troops, but against the elite ones, they were practically useless and certainly had no potential to rally the situation. Of course, Su Yu was aware of this as well. He replied with a smile, This weapon is actually designed for the average person. The flintlock has a range of about 80 meters, and if given tomon people, it can significantly enhance their individualbat abilities. At the very least, they wouldnt be ughtered so mercilessly like before. Moreover, my lordship has another type of weapon. When used in tandem with the firearms, they can form a formidable army when wielded by trainedmon individuals. Su Yu extracted a Magic Image Stone from his bag and projected the magic image onto the wall. The other new weapon Su Yu introduced wasa Cannon. The option of producing cannons would be avable once thend is upgraded to [County Town] in the military technology tree. Furthermore, inparison to firearms, cannons could serve as essential tools to attack and defend in wars, so extensive researches had been conducted on the cannon technology in Su Yus territory. The current firearm innovationgged behind, still stuck in the 20 second per gun style of 16th-century Blue Star; whereas Cannon technology had evolved from firing solid balls in smoothbore muzzle-loaded cannons to firing long conical explosive bullets from rifled cannonsit had already reached the pivotal stage prior to the First World War in Blue Star history! In the magic image, rows of cannons unleashed a barrage of cannonballs, shelling the mounds of earth three kilometers away, and causing a shower of earth and stones. Standing beside the image, Su Yu exined, This weapon is called a Cannon. The power of each cannon is roughly equivalent to a second-order peak Mage casting a range spell. The range of a cannon is much longer than a second-order peak Mage. It can urately hit targets three kilometers away. And the most crucial point ismon people can operate it too. A group of 23 ordinary people operating a cannon can manifest abat power that isparable to a second-order peak mage. This can significantly alleviate the scarcity of our military force. Three kilometers range? Lucas eyes lit up at that thought. A second-order peak mage with a range of three kilometers would make a significant difference on the battlefield! He turned his gaze towards the master of the Silver Pine Spire, Rnd. Rnd nodded, Based on the magic image, the power of the weapon depicted is indeedparable to a second-order peak mage casting a range spell. There is no mistake in what Nemesis has imed. With Rnds affirmation, Lucas mind was made up. He turned his attention to Princess Alyssa, Your Highness, I believe we could purchase a batch to experiment. It could potentially have miraculous effects. Very well, lets order a batch to test its effectiveness. Princess Alyssa didnt hesitate, Nemesis, your territory is in Orleans City, right? Correct. When we get to Orleans City, bring the new-style weapons to the army. Understood. Princess Alyssa stood up and addressed the gathered officials, That settles it. Well start preparations to evacuate. We must all leave Forest City before the arrival of the rebel forces. Nemesis, take charge of training a force with these new weapons. The Empire treasury will cover the expenses. Understood, Your Highness, the high-ranking officials of the Empire responded. The meeting officially concluded. After the meeting was over, the high-ranking officials of the Empire began to leave the council room. After a while, only Princess Alyssa and Su Yu, who was prompted by Alyssa to stay, remained in the conference room. Now that no one else was in the room, Su Yu asked Princess Alyssa, Alyssa, why did you ask me to stay? Alyssa smoothed back her hair and said, Nemesis, do you remember how I controlled Xi Fan a week ago with [The Best Sword in the Vige], ultimately preventing him from self-destruction? Of course, I remember. Whats up? The incident had happened a week ago for Alyssa, but for Su Yu, it had only transpired about a dozen hours back. How could he possibly forget? Alyssa looked very serious, [The Best Sword in the Vige] is aw weapon. Only a god-level powerhouse at the eighth rank can manufacture such a weapon. Su Yu eximed, !!! He was genuinely taken aback. You mean, the vige head is a god-level powerhouse?!! But wait! Are there not only two god-level human powerhouses? In the past, yers had analyzed the vige head and concluded that he was a well-hidden powerhouse, whose strength should be above the seventh level. But since yers could not return to the novice vige after leaving it, they had no way of having too much interaction with the vige head. Thus, the analysis remained spective. Who would have thought that the vige head was so powerful? Alyssa shook her head, Im not sure if the vige head is a god-level powerhouse. I asked the elder deity, but he has always been reticent about this matter. However, you also know that we are currently in dire need of high-level powerhouses. So, I hope to invite the vige head to join us in confronting the rebel forces. Alyssa took out a beautifully wrapped letter from the Space Ring and handed it to Su Yu, Nemesis, in the few days before we leave Forest City, please deliver this letter to the vige head. Its a token of gratitude and also an invitation for him to lend his aid in safeguarding the empire. As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, your main plotline has been updated, [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire (46/100)]. Task requirement: Deliver the Princess Alyssas handwritten letter to the vige head of Nn Vige. Task reward: Second-order skill scroll [Thunderstorm] X1. Chapter 230: 230, Tina’s Sister_1 Chapter 230: Tinas Sister_1 Trantor: 549690339 More than ten minutester, Nn Viges vige square. A faint white light illuminated the central teleportation array, revealing Su Yu, dressed in a light blue mage robe, appearing in the middle of the array. In Su Yus left hand, he carried a barrel of wine with its bung removed, and in his right, he held arge piece of golden, aromatic friedmb. He strode toward the vige chief directly opposite him, a smile beaming on his face, Hello, chief. Do you still remember me? Ordinarily, there were many yers lined up to ept quests from the vige chief, but due to the unique nature of Su Yus task, he entered a separate dimension where there were no other yers. Hey! Its you, kid! Youve reached the second rank after being gone for half a year? The chief was overjoyed and walked over to Su Yu, pping him on the shoulder. At the same time, he sniffed the enticing aroma of the wine and friedmb, inhaling twice before looking at what Su Yu was holding, Is this for me? Of course! Su Yu, smiling, handed over the barrel of wine and themb. I brought you this Ancient Wood Wine from the Elf Empire and friedmb, a specialty of Pearl City. I heard you like it, so I brought some when I came to see you. Elf Empires Ancient Wood Wine? A barrel like this should cost thousands of spiritual energy coins, right? The vige chief was immediately hooked. Without hesitation, he took the barrel and started drinking heartily while taking a big bite of themb. After swallowing arge piece of meat, the vige chief sighed contentedly, Mmm, good wine! Themb tastes great too! Ding, [Vige Chief of Nn]s favorability towards you +2, favorability has increased to indifferent. Eat slowly, Chief. I have plenty of stock in my bag that will definitelyst you a whole day and night, Su Yu continued to smile. Much appreciated. The vige chief took a deep, satisfying breath. Then he looked at Su Yu, seeming to see through everything, You came to see me for something, right? Indeed, I wouldnt dare to disturb you without a reason. Su Yu took out the handwritten letter of the princess from his bag and solemnly handed it to the vige chief, This is a personal letter from the princess. Please, take a look. Oh? A letter from the princess? The vige chief was slightly surprised. He put down the wine barrel, wiping his greasy hands on his clothes. Next, he epted the envelope and began to read it attentively. In addition to a beautifully written letter, there was also a Space Ring in the envelope. The ring and its contents were Alyssas gifts to the vige chief. As the vige chief read the letter, his brow furrowed increasingly. He read through the letter twice. Finally, he spoke with an expression of inner struggle on his face: Nemesis, its not that Im unwilling to help the Empire. But you know, I have to manage a vige thisrge, and therere many unruly monsters surrounding the vige. Besides, Jenny, Old Williams widow, has agreed to marry me. Its quite hard for me to get away . The vige chief rambled on for 5 minutes, but his key point boiled down to one thinghe didnt want to help. Su Yu patiently listened to his speech. Then he spoke earnestly, But Chief, you know that the Empire is at a life-or-death crisis. Duke Landilus and Duke Anzu Seifer from the rebel forces are not good people. Only the princess can lead the people to live a stable and happy life. The Empire needs your help! Scallop? What scallop? The vige chief pretended not to understand Su Yus words and started to ramble. Su Yu remained silent, just staring at him. The vige chief began to feel a bit uneasy under Su Yus gaze. After some hesitation, he sighed, Well then, for the sake of your Ancient Wood Wine and friedmb steak, I will give you a few tests. If you can sessfullyplete my tests, Ill considering out of retirement. No problem, what are the tests? Su Yu was overjoyed. The first challenge Afterwards, for the 47th to 50th quests on Princess Alyssas line, Su Yu sessfullypleted the series of challenges set by the vige chief. The first three quests were ordinary tasks, including killing monsters, bosses, deciphering clues, and gathering materials, etc. For the final one, the 50th quest, Su Yu led the vigers of Nn Vige through a monster siege battle. In this battle, no viger was to die, which was an exceedingly harsh condition. However, by relying on his exceptional attributes, Su Yu seeded inpleting this daunting task. During his free time while performing these five tasks, Su Yu became interested in the vige chiefs true identity. The chief, a seventh-rank powerhouse, was hiding in such a small vige, what was his true intent? With this suspicion in mind, Su Yu earnestly studied the literature in the vige library, chatted with the elderly people in the vige, and even apanied the repeater I mean, Tinas father, for a full three hours of conversation. Tinas father was very pleased with Su Yus performance and kindly observed, Youre a great young man, so good that Im even considering marrying my daughter to you! Lets not go there. Su Yu dodged, Your daughter is still a minor, its not the right time. No problem, you guys can get engaged first, and six yearster when shes of age, you can get married! Tinas father patted Su Yu on the shoulder. Engagement? I dont think its necessary wait, six years? Su Yu paused. Tina was almost seventeen years old now. In just over a year, she woulde of age. What did he mean by six years? Lilith! Tinas father yelled into the house. Father, did you call me? A beautiful red-haired girl walked out of the house. Let me introduce you, this is Tinas younger sister, Lilith, shes twelve now. Tinas father turned to Su Yu, If you dont mind, you can get engaged to her and get married after shees of age. Well, lets leave it out. Su Yu backed away, sweat beading on his forehead. This was the first time he learned that Tina had a sister. Uncle, I have something to do, so Ill leave first! Su Yu waved his hand and left Tinas courtyard as if fleeing for his life. After Su Yu left, the young girl Lilith red angrily at her father, Dad, why do you want me to marry this man? Because if you marry him, he wont be able to marry your sister! Tinas father smiled. What kind of reasoning is that? Do you want to sacrifice my happiness for my sister? Lilith stood with her hands on her hips, bing angrier and angrier. Youre too young to understand right now. Once youre of age, I believe youll be willing to take your sisters ce and be his wife. Tinas father muttered, his gaze drifting southwest towards the empire. I wonder how Tina is doing now. He sighed softly. Even though Tinas father was unreliable, Su Yu still managed to obtain quite a bit of information about the vige chiefs identity from him. Additionally, by breaking into the vige chiefs house at night to eavesdrop on his conversation with his fiance Jenny, as part of the main storyline quests, Su Yu managed to piece together a series of clues, finally revealing the true identity of the vige chief! The vige chief, it turns out, is not a God-level power, but a clone of a God-level power, a clone that narrowly survived after its original body died. Chapter 231: 231, The Mystery of the Novice Village, Three Avatars of a God-Level Powerhouse_i Chapter 231: The Mystery of the Novice Vige, Three Avatars of a God-Level Powerhouse_i Trantor: 549690339 Uponpletion of the task, the vige chief brought Su Yu back to his home. After rummaging through a dusty storeroom, the vige chief came out with a dirt-smudged face, holding a stick emanating a purple light. Hem hem, Nemesis, this is your reward! Thank you for your contributions to Nn Vige, in helping us face the beast tide sessfully, without a single viger being sacrificed! The vige chief walked towards Su Yu, smiling as he thrust the stick into his hands. Ding, the main plotline [The Glory of the Forsythia Empire (50/100)] has beenpleted. Reward obtained: [Useless Big Stick (Epic)] X1, Spiritual Energy Coins X1000. Ding, it is detected that you possess [Tear of the Goddess], [Useless Big Stick], and [Amplification Tome]. Would you like tobine these three items into the [Archangels Staff]? [Yes] [No] Without giving it much thought, Su Yu selected [Yes]. After making the choice, the [Useless Big Stick] turned into a ray of light and ascended into the sky. The [Amplification Tome] from the 45 loop reward of the princess line in Su Yus backpack and the [Tear of the Goddess] that he was wearing both turned into rays of light and merged with the ray from the [Useless Big Stick]. The three rays of light converged and ultimately formed a magic wand emanating blue light in mid-air. Ding, congrattions, you have acquired the legendary item [Archangels Staff]! Ding, it is detected that the magic power of the [Archangels Staff] has reached the maximum. The [Archangels Staff] is evolving into the [Embrace of the Seraphim]! Apanied by a system prompt, the [Archangels Staff] burst into a dazzling light in the sky, reassembled, and ultimately evolved into an even more brilliant staff radiating blue light. The staff floated down from the sky,nding in Su Yus hands. Su Yu swiftly checked the properties of the staff. [Embrace of the Seraphim (Legend)] essory, Weapon Magic Strength +100 Magic Power Limit +1000 Feature 1: Provides an additional magic strength equivalent to 5% of extra magic power. Feature 2: Increases your maximum magic power by 10%. Feature 3: Condenses a shield equivalent to 20% of your maximum magic power to protect you from damage. Instant cast, cooldown time 120 seconds. Feature 4: This equipment can be equipped in the[Weapon]slot or the[essory]slot. Note: There was once a restaurant owner who named a barbecue chicken wing Embrace of the Seraphim. Is this Embrace of the Seraphim a simr thing? Su Yu was extremely satisfied with the properties of the [Embrace of the Seraphim]. This piece of equipment could be considered the pinnacle of first-stage equipment. It significantly enhanced his magic strength and mana, and even came with an instant cast shield skill. The attribute enhancement of the [Embrace of the Seraphim] was not inferior to any third-stage equipment at level 50. At least in the short term, he wouldnt need to change his equipment. Just then, he received another system announcement: Ding, the second stage of the main plotline [The Glory of the Forsythia Empire] has beenpleted. The next stage will begin on July 1, so please look forward to it. Su Yu left his territory on June 20, and today was June 26. He spent six and a half dayspleting the second stage of the princess line tasks, leaving only four and a half days forpleting the Tina line. Fortunately, the storyline of the Tina line was morepact than the princess line. The four and a half days were more than enough for him toplete it, so Su Yu wasnt too worried. After satisfactorily cing the [Embrace of the Seraphim] into the [essory] slot, Su Yu turned to the vige chief in front of him and asked, Mr. Vige Chief, does this mean that youll agree to go up to the mountain to deal with the rebel forces? The vige chief did not respond, but turned his head to stare straight out the window. Sensing the vige chiefs hesitations, Su Yu took out a strategic map from his bag, spread it out, and used magic to secure it to the wall of the vige chiefs house. As you can see, I have already nned it all out for you. When the princesss troops arrive in Orleans City, the rebel forces will surely seize the opportunity tounch a counterattack when we are still unsteady. At that time, we will be able tounch a pincer attack on the high-ranking powerhouses of the rebels at Red Ridge Mountains Su Yu pointed at the location of Red Ridge Mountain in Orleans City on the map and kept on talking. Nemesis, youve gotten something wrong, The vige chief interrupted Su Yu, I promised you that if you pass my test, I will consider assisting the princess. But I never said I would definitely help her. I said I would contemte it. Give me some more time to think it over, then Ill give you a response. The vige chief began to make excuses. Su Yu crossed his arms, staring at the chief intently, Arent you afraid of Tina dying on the battlefield? Ive spoken to Tinas father. Tina is the only descendant of Lady Bernina Tide who can awaken her bloodline. If Lady Bernina Tide knew about it from beyond the grave, she would be very disappointed in all of you! Upon hearing the name and Su Yus words, the vige chiefs mouth fell open in shock, and his body began to tremble violently. Ho How How do you know this? The voice of the vige chief was trembling and unbelieving. ording to what Su Yu had learned in this short time, the origin of everything goes back a thousand years: A thousand years ago, there were three god-ranked powerhouses born in the human world: Kevin Forsythia, Bard, and Bernina Tide. Kevin Forsythia, with the help of his familys power, established the Forsythia Empire; Bard united the various tribes under him and established the Wind Chime Empire on another continent; As for Bernina Tide, she was a free soul who neither joined nor established any power groups. One hundred years ago, Bernina Tide fell. Her fall was not due to an attack from enemies, but a choice she herself made. As for why she made that choice, no one could say for certain. After her fall, Berninas body transformed into a small world. Inside it, her descendants founded a vige where they lived, calling it Sunny Wind Vige, which is the origin of the first beginner vige. The several hundred subsequent beginner viges, including the 6th beginner vige Nn Vige where Su Yu resided, were actually projections of Sunny Wind Vige in different independent nes. Only Sunny Wind Vige truly exists. For the nearly hundred years following Berninas fall, her descendants continued living in Sunny Wind Vige. To protect her descendants, Bernina left three of her seventh-rank avatars behind. These three avatars were the vige chiefs, the widow Jenny, and Annies adoptive father C the lumberjack Beru. They were constantly ying a role-ying game,pletely concealing their true power and blending in with the ordinary people. Interestingly, these three individuals were involved in a love triangle. The descendants of Bernina generally had high potential and through cultivation could produce many high-ranking powerhouses. The vige also had a teleportation array connected to the outside world. External powers did not know this vige was left by Bernina, but only knew that the vige produced talented individuals. Therefore, over the following hundred years, medium and small forces belonging to the Empire, such as the Schrs Temple, the Warriors Guild, and the Magic Guild etc., established themselves in Sunny Wind Vige. As these forces moved in, arge number of outsiders migrated in and the royal family also joined the trend, sending in Baron Wilson to be in charge of collecting taxes. The vige chief ignored these outsiders as long as they did not harm Berninas descendants. Thus, Sunny Wind Vige gradually turned into what it is today. As for the best sword in the vige, it was one of the few divine weapons left by Bernina. The vige chief only gave Su Yu 10 opportunities to use it, after which it must be returned. Unexpectedly, Su Yu used it very sparingly, only using it three times so far, so the divine weapon was still in Su Yus hands. Chapter 232: 232,Mass Summoning Scroll, Return to Orleans City_1 Chapter 232:Mass Summoning Scroll, Return to Orleans City_1 Trantor: 549690339 Does the Princess already know my true identity? The vige chief stared intently at Su Yu. Su Yu shook his head: No, the princess hasnt found out yet. I deduced all this through interacting with the vigers after arriving here. The princess doesnt know? Thats a relief, the vige chief breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after, his re turned dangerous, Kid, you shouldnt reveal our true identities, okay? If their identities were exposed, the peaceful vige life would certainly be disrupted and the vige chief did not want such urrences. Of course I could but what benefits would I get if I dont spill the truth? Su Yu rubbed his fingers together, implying something. The vige chief thought for a while and finallypromised, Fine, Ill assist the princess in dealing with the rebels. He then turned around to his bedroom and took out a scroll hidden under his mattress, then handed it to Su Yu. [Group Summoning Scroll (Consumable)] Remaining usage: 1. Usage: Shout Vige chief is the most handsome! at the scroll. Effect: Summons [Vige Chief], [Jenny], and [Lumberjack Beru] to your side,sts for an hour. Note: [Jenny]s fighting desire will decrease by 50% around handsome human males; [Vige Chief] and [Lumberjack Beru] may be jealous, reducing theirbat effectiveness by 30%. (Scroll expires after 365 days.) This scroll Seeing the scrolls attributes, Su Yu instantly thought about his [Tinas Summoning Scroll]. If the scroll could be gilded, perhaps it could bring the trio of the vige chief back to reality! But unlike Tina who is fond of him and would surely help him fight against the Skuru- The trio might be different; they may not necessarily help him if he brings them to reality. Nevertheless, Su Yu put the scroll away for possible future use depending on the situation. Worst case scenario, he could use it during the main storyline. Then, Ill take my leave, vige chief. I wont tell anyone about your true identity, including the princess, Su Yu said seriously. Goodbye, kid, the vige chief rolled his eyes and bid Su Yu farewell in a grumpy tone. But just as Su Yu was about to leave, a woman who seemed to be in her thirties and incredibly beautiful walked in. This captivating woman was none other than the vige chiefs betrothedJenny. Darling, are you here? Jenny hollered as soon as she stepped through the door. Of course I am, dear, the vige chief responded from the backroom. Su Yu and Jenny exchanged nces. Jennys eyes lit up upon seeing Su Yu, Hello, young man. Youre the adventurer who led our vige to defeat the beast tide, arent you? At the same time, she came over and pinched Su Yus arm, Youve got quite some muscles. Yes, thats me, Su Yu answered cautiously. The vige chief came out from the backroom. Seeing how his betrothed interacted with Su Yu, he sensed something was off, Dear, what are you doing? However, Jennypletely ignored her fianc and continued to tease Su Yu, Im getting married soon and women, you know, we fear the unknown of marriage. What do you think, adventurer? Before Su Yu could reply, the vige chief next to him rolled his eyes, Youve been married dozens of times already, shouldnt you be used to it by now? Jenny did not pay him any mind yet again and used her index finger to flirtatiously poke Su Yus chin, Would you like toe over to my house tonight? Ive got quite arge ce and theres excellent wine in the cer. We could talk about life. Vige Chief: !!! Su Yu: . Well Initially, Su Yu reflexively wanted to decline. However, seeing the vige chiefs face turn as red as a pigs liver, Su Yu suddenly wanted to stir things up. So he took Jennys hand, leaned in to whisper lightly in her ear, It would be my honor, madam. I hope we can have a wonderful evening. See you tonight then, handsome guy! Im heading back to take a bath. Jenny threw a kiss to Su Yu, elegantly turned around, and left the vige chiefs house. The color of the vige chiefs face was as pitch ck as charcoal. After Jenny left, he roared at Su Yu, No way, I absolutely will not allow you to go to her house! Su Yu shrugged, Then why didnt you say anything in front of her? That For a moment, the vige chief was at a loss for words. Isnt he afraid that Jenny might cancel the marriage if upset? It took him almost a hundred years to finally woo her, so how could he let a cooked duck fly away? But he soon got angry, Young man, get out of the vige now! Su Yu shrugged again, But Ive already promised Mrs. Jenny! Im a man of my word. But noticing the increasing anger in the vige chief, Su Yu quickly tried to calm him down: Calm down, vige chief. You should not let your anger affect your health How about this! If you recover the [Vige Good Sword]s three usage times, I will leave the newbie vige right now and wont return within a month. Is that eptable? Vige Chief: Several minutester, Su Yu left Nn Vige with a happily recharged [Vige Good Sword] through a teleportation array. [The Very Best Sword in the Vige (Consumable)] Remaining usage: 10 Usage: Point this sword at your target and shout, Behold my de! Effect: The de will break and fall to the ground. If the targets level is no more than 10 levels above yours, they will fall into a state of [Awe],sting for 3 seconds. If I had known the usage could be restored, I wouldnt have used it so sparingly, Su Yu sighed. But Jenny and the vige chiefs situation shed some light on a future path C when the [Vige Good Sword] runs out, he likely could flirt with Jenny again, forcing the vige chief to recharge the weapon. The thing is, doing so feels a bit underhanded, Su Yu began to reflect while rubbing his chin. After leaving the newbie vige, Su Yu did not return to Forest City. He hadpleted the second stage of the Princess narrative. He arrived directly at Orleans City, prepared to quicklyplete the second stage of Tinas narrative. Leaving Orleans City, riding on Dima, he headed north. In the Unicorn Knight camp, Su Yu knocked on the door to Tinas ce. Nemesis, youre finally here! Tina, who wore only a nightdress, popped her head out from behind the door, looking at him with a resentful gaze. Tina, Ive been in Forest City helping the princess deal with Xi Fan Su Yu hurriedly exined. You dont need to exin. I know all about what youve been doing, Tina cut him off. The happenings in Forest City were a global sensation, and Su Yu yed a considerable role in it. She was of course aware of what he was up to. She tugged on Su Yus hand, pulling him into her room without resistance, Quick,e in! Ive got something amazing to show you! Chapter 233: 233, Tina line 26-35 circles, successfully break through Sanctuary_1 Chapter 233: Tina line 26-35 circles, sessfully break through Sanctuary_1 Trantor: 549690339 Look! This is my spiritual power sand table that I upgraded and retrofitted for 500,000 spiritual energy coins, impressive right? Tina led Su Yu to the main hall of the residence, pointing at the spiritual power sand table set up there while bragging. Su Yu looked at the sand table. The table was originally top-of-the-line, with a length of 5 meters and width of 3 meters. Now, after modifications and upgrades, the sand table extended to 6.5 meters in length and almost 4 meters in width, filling up the entirerge hall. Of course, size was just superficial; the most important features of a spiritual power sand table were its capabilities and ease of operation. These features could only be discerned after the sand table was activated. However, Su Yu was somewhat disappointed. He thought the fun thing that Tina had mentioned was a new outfit she had recently purchased. He had been quite interested in a goose-yellow skirt she had bought recently. As for the sand table Su Yu truly wasnt that interested. Nemesis, could you y a few chess games with me? Its been a while since Ist yed. Tina shook Su Yus arm, looking at him with hopeful eyes. Strategic wargaming was a game for aristocrats, few knew how to y. Those in the military who knew how to y were either too busy or werent on good terms, so Tina hadcked a chess partner since Su Yu left. She felt quite lonely. Su Yu initially felt like refusing. After all, he was nowhere near Tinas level, and he was not in the mood to be masochistic. However, seeing Tinas expectant face, his heart softened: Alright, Ill y a few games with you. Yay! Tina hopped over to the side of the sand table and expertly flipped the switch. The environment within the sand table flickered, and a brand-new, simted battlefield emerged. The intense wargamemenced. The sand table, following upgrades and optimizations, added many texture details and operated much smoother. It even introduced a new Siege map, which wasnt there before. The first wargame was a sieging game. Su Yu led 50,000 soldiers in defending the city, and Tina led 50,000 in breaching it. Taking advantage of the vast geographical benefits, along with the fact that a defending battle was easier, Su Yu and Tina were evenly matched in the initial 10 minutes. However, its widely known that females possess more stamina than males. 10 minutester, while Tina was still vigorous, Su Yu gradually weakened, struggling to keep up with Tinas pace. In the 15th minute of the siege battle, Tina came from behind to take the upper hand. At the 18-minute mark, Tina secretly dug a tunnel, letting a portion of her forces enter the city via the tunnel, creating a pincer maneuver with the siege forces outside. This caused Su Yus team, stationed atop the city, to be caught off guard and lose strategic locations, ultimately leading to Tinas victory! After the game, Su Yu gave Tina a thumbs-up: Tina, yourmanding skills have significantly improved. Tina could now even micro-manage 20 army lines, hermand abilities were bing as terrifying asputer scripts. Thank you! Tina was delighted with Su Yus praise. But then Su Yu changed the subject: However, I must point out your most significant weakness, which you may not have noticed. What weakness? Tina looked concerned. The weakness isyoure just too weak. Su Yu candidly said: You have tomand the army from the sky with a Gods-eye view, dont you? Only then can you bring out your full potential? Yes. Were going to face the rebel forces of Kalet in the future. There are over three hundred high-ranking figures there, with your level five abilities its hard to guarantee that yourmand wont be interrupted upon ascending. Furthermore, if someone from level six were to arrive, well the consequences are frightening to imagine. After hearing Su Yus words, Tina nodded: Yeah, thats right. My personal strength isnt quite impressive on the front lines, I feel that I need to improve it as soon as possible! If I could reach the sixth rank, itd be much better for me on the battlefield! Tina sat down on the sofa next to the sand table as soon as she finished speaking, and began to contemte the issue of getting stronger. Su Yu did not disturb her, and stood silently waiting nearby. About five minutester, Tina finished her contemtion and said, Nemesis, theres a high-ranking secret realm within the Unicorn Knights called theC [Land of the Abyss]. The realm houses a few fifth-rank monsters. I can open this secret realm within my authority as a legionmander. Nemesis, would you like to join me on this exploration? Just as Tina finished speaking, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, your main plot has been updated, [Saintess of Orleans City (26/50)]. Task requirement: Apany [Tina Garcia] to clear the secret realm [Land of the Abyss]. Task reward: Second-rank skill scroll [Summon Diamond Elemental]. Noticing that the main plot had finally been triggered, Su Yu perked up. He reached out his hand to Tina: Tina, lets set off now! Tina nodded, got up from the sofa holding Su Yus hand and the two left their residence side by side. The main plot from 26 to 35th stage, a total of 10 missions, Su Yu apanied Tina to clear five small instances including the [Land of the Abyss], and helped her journey to various dangerous realms within the country, killed wild boss monsters, and collected materials for cultivation and breakthrough. Thest mission that is, the 35th one. At the southernmost seaside of Orleans City, there stands a huge erupting volcano. With a rumbling noise, hot magma spews out from the mouth of the volcano. But suddenly, a crack opened from the side of the crater. This crack expanded rapidly and with a loud bang, the entire volcano was split in half along this crack. Boiling magma flowed out from the crack, lighting up half of the sky. Su Yu hovered near the sky of the volcanos crater, patiently waiting. Boom! With a loud sound, a golden figure jumped out from the crater, holding a giant heart over 2 meters high in its left hand. This figure was none other than Tina. Nemesis, Ive seeded! Tina happily waved her long sword at Su Yu: This is the heart of the me Hydra, a newly ascended sixth-rank leader. I sessfully defeated it! You did really well, Tina! Su Yu cupped his hands on his mouth to form a makeshift loudspeaker, shouting, Take this chance and breakthrough now! I intend to do just that! Hey! Tina waved her left arm, tossing the heart high in the air. Then she swung her right hands long sword, and like a dazzling golden light, sliced the heart. Without any sound, the Hydras heart was cut in half like tofu, and the red blood stored inside spurted out, dyeing Tina into a bloodred figure. The golden light around Tina boiled violently like boiling water, outshining and suppressing even the magnificent magma erupting from the crater below. Crack! A crisp sound came from within Tina, her bottleneck shattered like ss. Endless spiritual energy gathered from around her, and her body, like a funnel, absorbed all these droplets of spiritual energy. Simultaneously, the brightness within her broke out once again, reflecting her sessful breakthrough to be a strong being of the Sanctuary. The youngest in the history of the Empire! Chapter 234: 234, Promote reform, Clear up bandits_1 Chapter 234: Promote reform, Clear up bandits_1 Trantor: 549690339 While Tina was advancing through the ranks in the sky, Su Yu wasnt idling on the ground either. He moved to the spot directly below Tina and caught the heart of the split-in-half me Hydra boss, shoving it into his backpack. [Heart of the me Hydra Boss (Iplete)] Sixth-rank Material Use methods: 1. Absorb the magic contained in the heart and change your vocation to [me Sorcerer], [Ash Knight], [me Druid] and other professions. Craft [Infinite me Explosion Potion], [Eternal Anger Elixir], [Lava Amulet] and other magical items. Throw it into the mana pool for refining, which can be refined into arge number of Experience Points. For high-ranking materials like this, if Su Yu and Tinas favorability level was low, the material would be a grey, unusable quest item. But now Tinas favorability level towards him had climbed to the [Enthusiasm] level, so she readily gave these unneeded materials to Su Yu. So during this time, Su Yu had been following Tina through secret realms and various ces around the world, reaping a bounty of fifth and sixth rank goodies! In addition to the [Heart of the me Hydra Boss], there were also [Thunder Lizards Horn (Fifth Rank)], [Magic Cloud Birds Beak (Fifth Rank)], [Elite Griffins w (Fifth Rank)] and so on. One could say his gains were plentiful! These high-rank materials could be refined into arge number of Experience Points, which will greatly reduce Su Yus cultivation time in the future and enable him to be a high-rank expert sooner. After Tinas sessful breakthrough, she felt an indescribably solid sense of securitying from the endless power that emerged from her body, akin to a river of stars. She quickly descended from the sky andnded beside Su Yu, hugging his neck merrily: Nemesis, Ive finally advanced sessfully! After half a months hard work, she finally seeded in advancing ranks! Moreover, the whole process wasnt as difficult as she had imagined. Having Nemesis by her side all the time made her feel quite blessed. Congrattions, Tina! As Su Yu stroked Tinas silky hair, his heart swelled with unexpressed emotions. He witnessed the birth of a legend no, it should be a bragging jerk. In just half a year, Tina had transformed from an ordinary girl-next-door into a sixth-rank Sanctuary power, thrusting her prowess into the upper echelons of the game world. Furthermore, Tina also possessed an innate militarymand genius, practically unmatched in the g extraption within the country. This could be what legends describe as the Chosen Maiden! Su Yu sighed inwardly. Meanwhile, he also made a quiet resolution: once the main storyline concludes, he would definitely figure out a way of recruiting Tina to join his territory. With Tinas impressive attributes, she would certainly be a legendary character! Su Yu messily ruffled Tinas hair with a strong hand, turning her originally soft brown hair into a frizzy mess. Tina, now that youve sessfully advanced, what do you n to do next? Hmm Tina tilted her head and thought about it. Then she replied with a smile, The first thing to do of course is to consolidate my realm. I also need some time topletely master the power of the Sanctuary. Tinas face gradually turned serious: Once the realm is thoroughly consolidated, I think I should start doing whatever I can for the Knights Order and the people of Orleans City. What do you mean by within my abilities? Su Yu didnt understand what Tina was saying. Nemesis. Tina looked directly at Su Yu: Do you still remember once you said The bureaucracy of The Goldfinch Empire is rotten to the core, and it desperately needs a bottom-up reform.? Su Yu nodded: Of course I remember. Tina clenched her small fist: Now that I have reached the sixth rank and have strong power, its time to push forward this reform! And during the time you were absent, I have already made ns! Tina took out a small notebook from her Space Ring, and opened the first page, reading: In order to push forward this reform, we need a sufficient amount of funds, and our current funds are far from enough. Some time ago, Tina and Su Yu robbed Miltons caravan, obtaining 8.83 million spiritual energy coins; After plundering the [Bandit Camp of the Redridge Mountain], they obtained nearly 7 million spiritual energy coins worth of various supplies, with a remaining bnce of over 13 million. However, this money is far from enough to drive the reform, Tina needs arger investment. Tina, what are you nning to do? Su Yu asked. At the same time, he was secretly grumbling in his heart. Tina could not be nning to leverage him and expect him to foot the bill, could she? But he and Tina were already so close, if Tina asked, he would certainly give. Given his mboyantly extravagant character, giving a few hundred million coin wouldnt be an issue! But to his surprise, Tina didnt intend to rely upon him. Tina flipped her book to the second page, saying, We obtained so many supplies when west conquered the Bandit Camp of Redridge Mountain, and Ive decided to do the same! In theing time, I will take our knight troop to clear up all the bandit forces in the range of Orleans City and acquire enough startup funds from them! Just as Tina finished speaking, Su Yu received a game prompt: Ding, your main plot has been updated, [Saintess of Orleans City (36/50)]. Mission requirements: Participate in the scene campaign: [Bandit-Clearance War at Giant Wolf Mountain], ensure victory for Tinas side. Mission reward: Random reward ording to taskpletion. Since Tina already had a n prepared, and after Su Yu took a quick nce and found that his n had no issues, he decided to proceed. Su Yu and Tina returned from the seaside volcano to Orleans City, then each gathered their forces, preparing to attack the bandit camp located at the Giant Wolf Mountain. Two dayster, they captured the bandit camp at Giant Wolf Mountain with a swift and fierce attack, then immediately proceeded to the next target. So, the 36th to 39th tasks in Tinas quest line, these four tasks are allrge-scale scene battles, and they are allrge-scale scene battles involving tens of thousands of yers. In addition to many relevant NPCs issuing side tasks, Orleans City suddenly became the highest rewarding area, and the yers attention was gradually diverted from Forest City. From the 36th to 39th tasks, Tina, leading the Unicorn Corps, swept across almost all the bandit camps around Orleans City. The methods were identical to the previous attack on Redridge Mountain C first, yers would scout for information. After obtaining information, the army wouldunch a lightning-fast long-distance raid, with yers inside the bandit camps assisting from the inside. With the help of Tinas strongmand and the help of the yers, the casualties in these fourrge-scale scene battles were kept extremely low. From more than a dozen bandit camps, Tina obtained many strategic supplies, weapons, horses, spiritual energy coins, and other spoils of war, roughly worth at least 50 million spiritual energy coins! Tina distributed spoils worth 30 million to the ordinary knights of the Unicorn Corps. For a time, Tinas prestige among the Unicorn Corps reached unprecedented heights, even higher than the formermander Grace! During the previous attack on the Bandit Camp at Redridge Mountain, the members of the Unicorn Corps had just started to acknowledge Tina as the new corpsmander. Now, Tina has escted to the Sanctuary and has world-ssmanding ability. Moreover, Tina didnt covet wealth and distributed most of the spoils to everyone. The Unicorn Knights fully acknowledged Tina as their new corpsmander. Chapter 235: 235, The Little Loli Infiltrating the Enemy’s High-ranking Officers_1 Chapter 235: The Little Loli Infiltrating the Enemys High-ranking Officers_1 Trantor: 549690339 These fourrge-scale battles rendered substantial rewards for all participating yers. Each battle allows up to 10,000 yers to engage simultaneously. Due to the pressure from the Skuru in the game, not a single yer among the 10,000 attendees was idle, and almost none were freeloaders. Everyone strived toplete the campaign to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, with Su Yus control of the whole campaign, Snow Leopards battlefieldmand and intelligence gathering, the first three battles were graded with an S, even thest battle earned an SS! An S grade reward increases by 30%, while an SS grade increases by 40%, and also includes an additional rare item of equipment. Thus, the yers who took part in the battles returnden with loot. Some yers with bad luck did not manage to secure a spot in the battlefield. However, these yers kept themselves busy in Orleans City, continually unearthing hidden missions from NPCs. The opening of Tinas primary mission led to a surge in side quests and secret missions in Orleans City. Even while simply walking down the street, with a bit of luck, one might suddenly trigger a hidden mission. This enabled yers visiting Orleans City to reap substantial benefits, which made their journey worthwhile. Even some yers managed to uncover hidden missions rting to the viins, which included the city lords manor, the Windsor Family, and the various powers in the city, and actively took part in them. These yers proactively provided Su Yu with inside information, and from their intel, Su Yu managed to learn much about the viins movements. With the news of Tinas sessive victories in the bandit cleansing constantly making its way back to Orleans city, the whole city was a buzz! Who benefits most from the cleansing of bandits? Without a doubt, its themon folk of Orleans City. The bandits werent always hidden deep in the mountains. They often descended to attack small viges, plundering food and people. Many merchants were ruined by the bandits piging along the routes to other cities. Because of the bandits, the people of Orleans City dared not venture out to travel or visit friends in other cities. Everyone suffered at their hands. Cleansing of Bandits was a task that should have been handled by the city lords manor and various lords, but the bandits would tribute 50-70% of their loot to the city lord and the lords. Having benefitted from it, the city lord and various lords, naturally turned a blind eye. The ones who suffered were themon people. Therefore, when the good news of Tinas triumph over the bandits spread back to Orleans City, themon folk rejoiced. People spontaneously organized grand celebratory parades just like on festive days! The 40th segment of the main story, Tina leading arge army returning to Orleans City after being victorious in vanquishing the bandits. Entering the broad Robin Avenue of Orleans city, Tina, riding a Unicorn, led her troops in the procession. Behind Tina were the formidable Unicorn Knights, and following them were carriages with imprisoned bandit leaders. Orleans city was deserted today. Both sides of Robin Avenue were crowded with spectators and revelers. People cheered and threw petals at Tina in a heros wee Tina waved to the citizens and led her troops to the city center square. Upon reaching the square, Tina ordered the execution of these evil bandit leaders. Watching these extremely wicked bandits strangle on the ropes one by one, the cheers of the people shook heaven and earth! Everyone shouted Tinas name wildly, and in the hearts of the people, Tinas status soared, her poprity was unmatched for a time. At the same moment Tina was executing the bandits, events were taking shape at the city lords manor in Orleans City. In arge conference room within the city lords manor, City Lord ude Strathrow sat at the head of the conference table, sipping his red tea with a grave expression on his face. Sitting opposite him were four high-ranking staff members, and behind the staff members sat a yer. The yer was obviously not Su Yu, as Su Yu and the City Lord of Orleans City were at odds, he could not possibly be here. While this yer was not Su Yu, Su Yu was quite familiar with her because she was none other than C the Sky Dragon Loli! The Sky Dragon Loli was incredibly lucky. Five days ago, she briskly walked down the streets of Orleans City when an NPC auntie suddenly stopped her, bestowing her an epic hidden quest. Sky Dragon thought for a moment and decided to give it a shot. Unexpectedly, this hidden quest was surprisingly simple! In the final stage of this 20-part mission, she ended up saving the life of a girl named Frandor Strathrow. As it turned out, this girl was the second daughter of the city lord, ude. Thanks to this connection, she easily made her way into the inner circle of the city lords manor and even had the qualification to partake in this important meeting. Moreover, city lord ude had deep trust in the Sky Dragon. Over the past few days, ude had been instructing the Sky Dragon to collect information rted to Tina Garcia. The Sky Dragon Loli did an outstanding job and brought back loads of urate intelligence. Her performance far outshone that of udes useless intelligence department. Hence, the Sky Dragon officially became the head of udes intelligence section, responsible for gathering information rted to Tina. City lord ude took a sip of his tea and set down the cup, turning to the Sky Dragon. Adventurer, has Tina Garcia entered our city yet? The other four staff members also turned to look at her. Feeling all eyes upon her, the Sky Dragon propped up her cheek with her right hand and nonchntly replied, Indeed. Tina Garcia, along with her Knights have arrived at the central square of the city. They are presently executing the captured bandit leaders um four are dead, with five to go. City lord ude did not mind the Sky Dragonszy manner. He picked up his cup again and took another sip, his gaze sweeping across his staff at the table: Gentlemen, should we take this opportunity to deal with Tina? Tinas rising power had left ude feeling increasingly uneasy; her threat was growing by the day. Instead of sitting back and letting her grow stronger, wouldnt it be better to take this opportunity to unite all noble forces within the city and eliminate her? Even after the princess arrives, she wont turn against him because of a dead man. But killing Tina came with a great deal of risk, hence his hesitation. The staff members exchanged uneasy nces with each other. After exchanging nces, the lead staff member summoned his courage to stand up: My Lord, I dont think now is the best time. Lets not talk about the Unicorn Knights for now, the strength of Tina Garcia needs to be further analyzed. Another staff member added, Exactly, my Lord, Tina Garcia is in high spirits right now. You acting hastily could potentially destabilize the situation in Orleans City, impacting your rule. Furthermore, the Princess will arrive shortly. Our priority should be maintaining stability. We should avoid taking any risks at this crucial moment. added the remaining staff members. Lord ude, already having reservations, let out a faint sigh after hearing his staffs caution, Alright, we will hold off for now. ude stood up, preparing to leave. But before he left the meeting room, he turned to the Sky Dragon. Adventurer, continue gathering information rted to Tina Garcia. As for the previously agreed reward, you can find my daughter, Frandor. Shell have it ready for you. Thank you, my Lord,zily replied the Sky Dragon Loli. Chapter 236: 236, Decapitate Snake Plan_1 Chapter 236: Decapitate Snake n_1 Trantor: 549690339 After Sky Dragon had received his reward from the Second Lady, he hastily rode the Howling Moon Wolf away from the city lords manor. Ever since the information about the Skuru people was made public, Sky Dragon no longer solely focused on eating, drinking and having fun, like before. Now, like everyone else, he poured his entire being into leveling up andpleting tasks. The harder he worked now, the more likely he was to survive in the uing crisis. The Howling Moon Wolf galloped, swiftly escaping from the city lords manor. At this juncture, Sky Dragon received a private message from Su Yu: Sky Dragon, what did the city lord say at the meeting? Upon seeing the private message, Sky Dragon immediately replied: The city lord wants to unite the nobles within the city to get rid of Tina, but his staff members are afraid of repercussions and disagree, so he has temporarily given up this idea. Su Yu: In that case . it seems like I have to strengthen my efforts. Sky Dragon: Strengthen your efforts? What do you n to do? Su Yu: Its a bitplicated to exin, but youll know in no more than ten minutes! Orleans City Centre Square. A dozen gallows were ced in the middle of the square, each one had a bandit leader hanging from it. Tina stood before the gallows, and in front of arge crowd, she was awarding the knights of the knights group with honorary medals and rewards. Su Yu appeared beside Tina and whispered a few words into her ear. Upon hearing Su Yus words, Tinas eyes lit up. She jumped onto her unicorn and loudly said to the members of the knights group: The time is ripe, well now implement the Decapitate Snake n! After speaking, she led the way, racing towards the southern part of the city. Yes,mander! The unicorn knights replied in unison, hurriedly mounting their unicorns to follow behind Tina. The unicorn knights, shining in their armor, advanced like a torrent of steel towards the slums in the south of the city. However, the residents who were spectating in the square were all stunned. What is the Unicorn Knight Group trying to do? They seem to be heading towards the southern slums, could there be something evil lurking there? Lets follow them and see whats happening! The nosy residents of Orleans City poured towards the southern part of the city. Su Yu opened a private conversation and sent a message to Snow Leopard: Decapitate Snake n has started. Tina is now leading the team, remember to provide support on your end. The gains from this operation could potentially be more than the previous fewbined! Understood! Snow Leopards spirit was ignited. After closing the private conversation with Su Yu, Snow Leopard immediately posted a message in the Decapitate Snake n Command Center chat room: Decapitate Snake n is now officially in action. Everyone, carry out your tasks as nned. If you encounter any unexpected issues, remember to respond in the chat room immediately! Received! Received! Received! A row of neatly aligned Received followed. The [Blood Union] is thergest gang in Orleans City. They hoarded the citys slums perpetually, sucking the blood out of the entire city like leeches. The chairman of the Union, Jason, was a warrior who had just entered the fifth rank. Unlike other fifth rank cultivators, he didnt have any grand ambitions or desire to be stronger and only cared about living a hedonistic life. Today, Jason was the same as always, takingrge sips of alcohol in the casino he owned in the southern part of the city, and throwing gold freely at the gambling table. Several scantily d bunny girls flocked around him, pouring him drinks, softly massaging his back, and rubbing their busts against his arm. At the climax of the gambling, Jasonughed heartily, one hand holding the dice, the other hand groping the bunny girl, making her let out coquettish breaths. But just as Jason was about to make a further move, suddenly, he felt a terrifying presence rapidly approach. This presence was so terrifying that although several kilometers away, Jason felt cloistered and short of breath. He quickly dropped the dice in his hand and retract his hand from the bunny girls clothes, turning his eyes towards the source of the terrifying presence. Just as he was nning to do something, suddenly, a piercingly bright golden light pierced the roof. Jason didnt have a chance to react. His head was smashed like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. The leader of the underworld forces of Orleans City, Jason, was instantly killed! Aside from Jason, none of the other gamblers in the casino were hurt. Ahhh!!! After a short pause, the shrill screams of the bunny girls reverberated in the casino. The head of a living person just vanished, this was absolutely a horrifying story! The gamblers were also horrified and ran away in all directions. But at this moment, a cold female voice came from the faraway sky: Nobody move! Or your fate will be the same as Jasons! Of course, the person who said this was Tina. Those who could kill Jason in one second inside the city were fewer than 5, and Tina was one of them. Upon hearing this, the gamblers in the casino immediately halted and stood rooted to the spot. Not long after, arge military force of unicorn knights and yers rushed into the casino from the entrance, killing all the resistors and upying the casino. Not only the casino, but the headquarters of the Blood Union, other gangs in the city such as the [Blood-toothed Gang], the [ck Hand Brotherhood], and all properties owned by the gangs also came under attack by thebined forces of the unicorn knights and yers. An unprecedented purge of the entire underworld forces in Orleans City had begun! This was the so-called Decapitate Snake Operation. Actually, this Decapitate Snake Operation had been part of Tinas n even before she had dispatched troops to attack the bandit encampment. Tina needed money to carry out her reform ns, and the bandits on the mountain were all poor. By destroying more than a dozen bandit encampments, she had only managed to umte a total of 50 million spiritual energy coins in goods. But the situation was quite different with the citys gangs! They were involved in numerous illicit businesses including obscenity, gambling and human trafficking, earning them massive profits. Just by annihting the [Blood Union] alone, the estimated gain was as high as 70 million spiritual energy coins! This was more than what was grabbed from the ten bandit campsbined! So, Tina had the gangs as her next target a long time ago. However, the gangs were different from the mountain bandits. As bandits were based in the mountains, to bring them down, all one had to do was destroy theirir. The gangs, however, often hid exceedingly well and were slippery customers, making it difficult to eradicate thempletely. During the past period of time, Tina was attacking the bandit encampments while simultaneously gathering information about the gangs. The yers were the main force in gathering information about the gangs as gangs had no defense against yers, making it quite easy for yers to infiltrate them. Snow Leopard led the high-rank yers of the guild in proactive strikes to infiltrate into the gangs. Moreover,bined with arge amount of purchased intelligence, the organizational structure and personnel distribution of the gangs were thoroughly investigated within a month of the game time. With the urate information provided by Snow Leopards guild, the Unicorn Knights urately found their targets. The underground gangs of Orleans City suffered a nest-style attack and all sizes of gang forces were annihted in a matter of moments. Chapter 237: 237 320 million spoils of war_1 Chapter 237: 237 320 million spoils of war_1 Trantor: 549690339 For the following week in the game, which epassed chapters 41-45 of Tinas storyline, yers coborated with the Unicorn Knights to eradicate all the gangs in the city. What Su Yu found most impactful during the clean-up was the unity and cooperation between yers. The act of clearing the gangs didnt incite any discord or disputes over looted gear among the yers. Everyone worked together like a well-oiled machine, amodating each other, and striving towards amon goal. Lets take the case of the Sky Dragon, a loli character. The Sky Dragon was part of the city lords manors faction, hence theoretically, she was opposed to Su Yu. However, they traded intel to each other in an attempt to gain the maximum profit possible from the NPCs. Of course, yers were sometimes assigned missions that conflicted with each other, like intelligence gathering and defense missions, where one sides sess often meant the other sides failure. In such cases, mediators yed a significant role. Mediators worked to find apromise, adhering to the principle of obtaining maximum profit and trying to achieve a satisfactory oue for both parties. (For instance, the victorious party could offer some spiritual energy coins aspensation to the losing party.) Nevertheless, the unity and cooperation among yers during this major quest shone as a bright spot, lending color to the gloomy post-apocalyptic ambience. This Decapitate Snake n saw participation from a whopping 100,000 yers. Among them, 70,000 sided with the Unicorn Knights, while the remaining 30,000 were scattered between the gangs and the city lords manors viins. However, these 30,000 were essentially double agents. With the yers cooperating from within and from the outside, the gangsters of Orleans City were easily wiped out. Any who managed to evade capture were eventually handed over by the yers in exchange for quest rewards. The rewards for this operation were bountiful, leaving most yers satisfied with their earnings, After the Decapitate Snake n ended, a meeting to divide the ahem, I mean, to distribute the spoils of war, was held in the Blood Unions hall. On the halls floor, numerous valuable weapons, armors, gems, jewelry, and monster materials were on disy. Tina sat at the head of the table, satisfied as she gazed at the spoils spread out in the center of the hall. Su Yu and Fiona stood beside Tina, on her left and right respectively. On the side of the hall, the high-ranking officers of the Knights, along with yer representatives such as Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon, all eyed the glittering spoils on the ground. Ahem, are we all here? If so, lets get started on distributing the spoils, Tina surveyed everyone present. Everyones here, for the most part, replied Fiona. Su Yu said, There are some who shouldnt be presentfor instance, those adventurers from different worlds who infiltrated the enemy camp. Theyve worked hard for this Decapitate Snake n. Ill represent them. Hmm. Tina nodded with a smile and looked at the secretary of the Knights. Jessica, have you calcted the value of the spoils? The calction isplete, my Lady. responded Jessica. Jessica, the secretary, was a new recruit personally selected by Tina. Shes a young girl, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. She flipped through her notes and crisply replied, We have confiscated 47 pieces of te armor, 238 pieces of heavy armor . No need to get into that much detail. Just tell me the total value of the loot, Tina interrupted her. Startled, Jessica quickly replied, Based on my calctions, the estimated total value of the loot is around 320 million spiritual energy coins! 320 million! All present gasped at the number. Tina and Fiona were shocked by the wealth amassed by the gangs. Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon were also surprised by therge number. A newly entered Level 1 yer earns around 2-3 spiritual energy coins per day; a Level 10 yer earns an average of 20 coins daily. With approximately 60 million yers entering the game across the Chinese server, 320 million spiritual energy coins were almost equivalent to the entire servers total daily earnings. This number was astounding! Jessica, holding The Handbook, continued, thats 320 million. Its a conservative estimate. Some of the master pieces of art have been evaluated at the lowest auction price. If they are auctioned in reality, the price would certainly be higher. 320 million, impressive indeed! Tina grinned. With thisrge sum of money, she could smoothly implement her uing ns and possibly even raise some funds for the princess. Tina turned to Su Yu, asking softly, Nemesis, how should we divide this 320 million? If you ask me Su Yu rubbed his chin and replied slowly, before we divide the spoils, we should confirm who is eligible. Thats right, you speak up. First of all Su Yu started, addressing everyone in the hall, the Unicorn Knights were the main force behind this operation to wipe out the gangs. They definitely qualify to im a share of the spoils. Hmm, everyone in the hall nodded in agreement. Next, the adventurers from different worlds who participated in this operation, as well as those who infiltrated enemies and provided us with valuable information, should be entitled to a share. After some thought, Tina agreed, Indeed. I have witnessed the efforts you all have made for the entire operation. You significantly reduced the casualty rate of the Knights and provided a multitude of useful information. You certainly deserve a share. Seeing Tinas agreement, Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon gratefully looked at Su Yu. If not for Su Yu being here, the loot would have had nothing to do with the yers. Once the yers collected their mission rewards, they would have had to leave. The loot confiscated by NPCs belonged to the NPCs; yers shouldnt have had any greedy thoughts. But now with Su Yu here, Tina decided to share a portion of the loot with the yers out of deference for Su Yu. Remember, were talking about 320 million here! Even 1% of it is a substantial amount. After all, not everybody was as rich as Su Yu. Su Yu shed a dont worry smile at Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon before speaking again: Afterwards, Tina, you should keep a share for yourself to prepare for future reforms, Lastly, I think we must distribute some to the citysmon citizens. Distribute to the citizens? Tilting her head, Tina contemted the idea. Yes. In truth, these spoils are profits that the gangs squeezed out of ordinary people. Returning the loot to the people can be seen as a form ofpensation. Not to mention, it can also increase your poprity in the city and gain the peoples support. In the future, when you want to implement any reforms, it could decrease resistance. Hmm, you have a point, Tina sat upright and looked at Su Yu. So, the Knights, the adventurers from different worlds, me, and themon citizens each get a share. What about you, Nemesis? Dont you want to im a share for yourself? Chapter 238: 238, Loot distribution, Advanced Unicorn Badge_1 Chapter 238: Loot distribution, Advanced Unicorn Badge_1 Trantor: 549690339 Me? Ill pass. Su Yu shrugged indifferently. He didnt put in much effort in the Decapitate Snake n, the majority of the heavy lifting was done by other yers. If the spoils of war were to be distributed fairly, he wouldnt get much anyway. However, Su Yu added, Tina, if you really want to, you can give my share to Snow Leopard. He can distribute it among all adventurers. Alright, Ill give your share to Snow Leopard. Seeing Su Yu not being greedy, Tina gave him an admiring nce. This is why Ive chosen him! she thought to herself. Snow Leopard also looked at Su Yu with gratitude, Thank you, Nemesis! Youre wee. Su Yu waved his hand. Now that the responsible parties for the distribution of the loot have been decided, should we discuss the specific ratios? Tina nodded, Yes, we should. Fiona, you represent the unicorn knights. I represent myself, Nemesis representsmon folks, and Snow Leopard, both of you represent adventurers. Well represent the interests of our respective parties and work out a distribution n together. Alright. No problem. Sounds good. Everyone agreed with Tinas suggestion and started to discuss the distribution of the spoils of war. Fifteen minutester. After a harmonious discussion, everyone agreed on a satisfactory distribution n: Tina received 28% of the spoils; The Unicorn Knights gained a 24% share; The yers who helped the knights earned 21%; The city residents got 20%, and the remaining 7% went to yers who provided effective information from within the enemy ranks. Snow Leopard and Zhen Hong were extremely satisfied with this distribution method! They initially thought they might get a 1-2% share if they were lucky, and 5% would be an extraordinary stretch. But thanks to the close rtionship between Su Yu and Tina, the yers were allocated a whopping 28%! Thats around 90 million spiritual energy coins! It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that, if these spiritual energy coins are used wisely, they could slightly elerate the yers overall progression in the game! Snow Leopard was too shy to thank Su Yu in front of everyone, so he sent him a private message, Nemesis, on behalf of all yers, thank you! Thank you for securing us so many benefits! Su Yu promptly replied, Youre wee. It was the right thing to do. To defeat the Skru people, all of us need to band together. I believe that everyone will contribute in their own way. Snow Leopard: Youre right. But expressing our gratitude is also necessary. We cant allow someone who does so much to feel unappreciated, right? Su Yu: Haha! If you really want to thank me, then make sure that the announcement is done well, thats what I care about at the moment. The announcement Su Yu referred to in the private message, was a public announcement by the relevant departments to all citizens. The origin of this announcement dates back to this morning: This morning, Su Yu received a private message from Swift: The [Mage Tower] in the territory has been built, and the construction of [Magic Pool] hasmenced under the supervision of Mage Katie (the NPC little girl who can cast the [Teleportation Portal] spell, who has now reached the fourth rank). In two or three days, the [Magic Pool] will bepleted and in operation. Su Yu can then convert arge number of monster materials into Experience Points to level up quickly. This was a matter of great importance to Su Yu and the relevant departments. This morning, Snow Leopard discussed with Su Yu and decided to issue an announcement led by the relevant departments and sent out to all yers. In the announcement, the departments will disclose part of Su Yus information to all yers, informing them that Su Yu needs arge number of monster materials to level up. Then they will call on all yers to focus their efforts on farming monster materials. Pooling together everyones efforts, farming monster materials will help Su Yu level up. This announcement, and the organization work that follows, will be the focus of the relevant departments in the next phase. Snow Leopard was well aware of the importance of this announcement and immediately replied: Alright, we will prioritize the announcement and try our best to avoid mishaps. Snow Leopard: But, how long will it take for you to advance to a high-ranking power? Could you give us an estimate? Su Yu thought for a moment and replied: Based on my estimates, I can reach the fifth rank in one month of real time, and the sixth rank in two months. And this is a conservative estimate, it will likely be faster. Sixth rank in two months? Snow Leopard eximed, Doesnt that mean you might be an eighth-ranking God Level power before the full-scale invasion by the Skru people?! Theres a good chance. Su Yu confidently replied. Snow Leopard almost became a God Level power in his past life. On the 25th day after the full-scale invasion by the Skru people, Snow Leopard had reached the pinnacle of the seventh rank, on par with Xi Fan who had just died at the time. In this life, Su Yu was having a much smoother journey than Snow Leopard did in his previous one, thus bing a God Level power was very likely. However, Su Yu reminded, The Skru star has as many as 15 God Level powers. Even if I be a God Level power, we cant prevent Blue Star from being invaded. To defeat the Skru people, we still need the joint efforts of all mankind, understand? Understood! I know what to do! Snow Leopard replied sincerely. After the discussion on the distribution of the spoils of war, the meeting came to an end. Tina looked at the people present, So weve settled on the distribution n of the spoils of war, does anyone want to add anything else? Everyone shook their heads. Tina stood up from her seat, walked gracefully to Su Yu, and softly said: Nemesis, the contributions youve made for the Knights have been noticed by all. Ive decided to bestow this upon you! Tina took out a silver-white badge from her Space Ring and pinned it on Su Yus chest herself. As her hand touched Su Yus firm chest muscles, her face turned slightly red. Ding, Main Storyline [Orleans Citys Holy Maiden (45/50)]pleted. Youve received a reward: [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge] x1, Experience Points +1000. [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge (Epic)] essory Ability 1: Gain Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Constitution = your current level x1. Ability 2: Added skill [Unicorns Gaze]: Renders a creature lower than your level in a [Dazed] state, unable to attack, cast spells, or move,sts for 3 seconds, cooldown time 120 seconds. Ability 3: Added skill [Unicorns Healing Light]: Emits a healing beam, restores 30% of health to you or your teammate, cooldown time 5 minutes. Ability 4: One-time use, gain World Prestige 10 points. After use, the badge will be invalid. Note: If you choose to use this essory once, others will look at you as if youre a fool, spreading your foolish actions, and naturally, your world notoriety will increase. Chapter 239: 239, Transfer Badge_1 Chapter 239: Transfer Badge_1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon seeing the attributes of this essory, Su Yus eyes lit up. All in all, the [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge] is a good essory, the controlling and healing abilities it grants are excellent. But in Evolution, the setting for essories is: they can be swapped during a battle, but if an essorys abilities have been used, it cannot be swapped out until its cooldown ends. Because of this rule, yers generally only carry two essories, not more. He now already has the [High-Ranking Schr Badge] and the [Embrace of the Seraphim] essories, and afterpleting the second stage of Tinas quest line, he should get the third essory C [Zhongya Hourss] C without any surprises. All three of these essories are better than the [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge], so carrying it would be somewhat redundant. However, the Attribute 4 of the Unicorn Badge had attracted his attention. Tina. Su Yu stroked Tinas hair gently, moving his face quite close to hers, Can I give the badge you gave me to someone else? The Unicorn Badge is a quest reward, and ording to the game rules, Su Yu cannot trade it to other yers. But the game rules werent rigid. In the past, yers found that rewards obtained from NPCs, with their consent, could be transferred to others. Considering Tinas high favorability towards him, he wanted to try if he could transfer it. It was the first time Tina had been so intimately close to Su Yu in front of everyone, causing her cheeks to flush slightly. However, she still shook her head and said, No, Nemesis. The [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge] is the greatest honor of the Unicorn Knights. Wearing it will garner admiration from all the knights and devotion from the people. How can you just casually give it to someone else? What if I promise to y chess with you all night tonight? How does that sound? Su Yu coaxed. Tinas eyes shone brightly, and she quickly replied, Okay, deal! You should have said that earlier! If Id known this, I wouldnt have wasted my time. Su Yu immediately received a game prompt: Ding, you have received [Tina Garcia]s permission. For the next 1 hour and 59 minutes, you can transfer the [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge] to any yer who has participated in the 50th round of the main questline [Saintess of Orleans City]. Not far away, Fiona listening to Su Yu and Tinas conversation, crossed her arms and looked upset. A whole night in a room with just the two of them ying chess? Who would believe that! In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and maintain world peace, Fiona decided to do something. So, she cleared her throat and said, Nemesis, to ensure the purity of our leader, its better if you dont spend the whole night in her room and also stop using the ying chess all night as a foolish excuse. Wheres the foolish part in this? Su Yu looked innocent, We actually n to y chess all night long! Who would believe that if you said it? Fiona rolled her eyes dramatically, turned to Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon, Hey, you two adventurers, do you believe it? Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed didnt respond. They decided to pretend they hadnt heard anything and turned their heads to the side. Then, how about this. Su Yu rubbed his forehead, Fiona,e to Tinas house tonight as well. You can supervise us; does that sound alright? What? You want me to go too? Fionas eyes bulged in surprise. If Nemesis and the leader actually do something indescribable, what should she do? She cant just join them, right?! We will see about that. Fiona let out a phrase and dashed out of the hall through a side door as if running away. Secretary Jessica looked confused at Fionas retreating figure, Whats wrong with Ms. Fiona? I have no clue? Could it be that she doesnt want me to get addicted to chess? Tina guessed earnestly. Su Yu: . After bidding goodbye to Tina, Su Yu, Snow Leopard, and Red-Eyed walked out of the Blood Union hall together. Red-Eyed was in a great mood. Heughed heartily, 90 million spiritual energy coins! That means our total gain this time is worth 36 billion Flower Coins! I couldnt have imagined this in the past! The current value of Spiritual Energy coins in the ck Market is still rising, going from 1:25 to 1:40 and theres still a growing trend. All the countries and major capitals are buying up spiritual energy coins inrge amounts. There are mostly purchase orders on the ck Market with almost no one selling. Snow Leopard smiled, Yeah, 90 million spiritual energy coins, this sum is really important to us humans. Then he looked at Su Yu earnestly, Nemesis, thank you Theres no need for thanks, Su Yu waved his his hand, tossed the [High-Ranking Unicorn Badge] to Snow Leopard, Here, take this badge. Youd better start constructing your territory quickly and be a High-Ranking powerhouse. That way you can help me alleviate some pressure. Territory? Snow Leopard frowned, unsure why Su Yu was talking about territories all of a sudden. But once he looked over the badge attributes, he immediately understood Su Yus intentions. After a one-time use, the badge grants ten World Prestige points, which can be converted into a piece ofnd! At the current stage, the value of a piece ofnd is unimaginable! Nemesis, I really dont know how to thank you Like I said, theres no need to thank me. Its what I should do. Su Yu patted Snow Leopard on the shoulder, If you really want to thank me, just marry your sister to me! I still need a wife in real life. Snow Leopard: ??? Haha, Im just joking. Su Yuughed, By the way, how is Snow Fall? I havent seen her recently. Su Yu had contacted Snow Fall frequently when he was in the newbie vige, but after she went to teach in a rural primary school and rarely logged in, their contact had gradually reduced. Now, it had been a long time since they had spoken to each other. Oh, youre asking about Luo Luo! Snow Leopard replied, She obtained a hidden quest that took her to the Lai Yin Empire and apprenticed under an NPC named [Mavi Shadow Song]. Now shes transitioned into the [Watcher] profession. However, Ive been busy with work and havent been able to chat with her much. What? Snow Fall is actually in Lai Yin Empire? Su Yu was slightly taken aback. Lai Yin Empire was a ce that would only open up new content in the second expansion, and he didnt expect Snow Fall to be so lucky as to find a way to get there. Looks like I need to get in touch with Snow Fall more often. There are a lot of valuable hidden quests in Lai Yin Empire, and maybe through her, I can connect with [Thor] and [Khadgar], learn new high-level skills from them But now was not the time to think about this. Su Yu reined his thoughts back in and looked at Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard, youd better do your best! Two of my territorys NPCs, Moke and Katie, have reached the fourth tier. If you ever have any strong monsters attacking your city that you cannot hold off, I can send them to help I need to get back to my territory and level up my technology. Well talk moreter! After saying his piece, Su Yu activated his [Hearthstone]. His figure turned into a white light and disappeared from in front of the hall. Chapter 240: 240、Gathering the Power of the Whole Nation_1 Chapter 240: 240Gathering the Power of the Whole Nation_1 Trantor: 549690339 After Su Yu left, the Red-Eyed ck Dragon curiously looked at the badge in Snow Leopards hand. Snow Leopard didnt intend to hide anything and shared the badge properties directly with Zhen Hong. Upon seeing the attributes of the badge, especially Trait 4, Zhen Hong envied, Old Snow, youre so lucky! Boss Ke gives you a piece ofnd, and youll definitely be a high-ranking powerhouse in the future! If you sell this badge to America, those American capitalists would probably be willing to buy it with half of their fortunes! Yeah, this favor is too big. Snow Leopard smiled reluctantly. The second piece ofnd in the game world owned by humans surprisingly appeared in his hands. No, we cant ept such a huge favor, I must do something in return for Nemesis! Snow Leopard muttered. As soon as he finished speaking, he logged out directly on the spot, his figure disappearing at the entrance of the hall. Zhen Hong didnt think much of Snow Leopards logging out. Reporting such an important matter to his superiors was a normal thing to do. So he opened various chat rooms and spread the news that Su Yu had won a benefit of 90 million spiritual energy coins for the yers. Twenty minutester, in a military camp in the real worlds Southeastern Military Region. Zhong Feng, dressed in a neat uniform, paced back and forth in front of the door of the militarymands conference room, appearing somewhat troubled. Not long after, the door of the conference room opened. A dozen generals and military staff wearing various uniforms hurriedly walked out from inside. They nced at Zhong Feng standing at the doorway, greeted him with their eyes, and then hurriedly left themand department to do their own thing, without lingering for a moment. A tired voice of Commissioner Zhang came from within the conference room, Zhong Feng,e in! Yes, Commissioner. Zhong Feng strode into the conference room. Now, only Commissioner Zhang was in the conference room. His face was pale, and there was an indescribable fatigue in his expression. It seemed he hadnt gotten a good nights sleep for many days. Looking at the report in his hand, his face lit up a little. He looked up at Zhong Feng, Zhong Feng, Ive just briefly read the report you submitted. Did Nemesis really give you a piece ofnd? Of course. Zhong Feng answered earnestly, The attributes of the essory are clearly written in the report. Thats great! Commissioner Zhang rubbed his temples vigorously, the wrinkles on his forehead easing, With thend, we can concentrate resources on building up high-ranking powerhouses. I might not trust thend in other peoples hands, but in your hands, we are 100% confident! Commissioner Zhang smiled, a rare expression, Zhong Feng, the country will fully dedicate resources to your development, we hope you dont let us down. Rest assured, Commissioner, I know what to do. Zhong Feng replied. He paused a moment, then continued, Commissioner, the reason I wanted to report this in person is because taking such a great favor from Nemesis, we cant be ungrateful. Oh? How are you nning to thank him? Marry your sister off to him? If the organization agrees, just go ahead and do it! Commissioner Zhang said candidly. No, its another way to show thanks. Zhong Feng wiped the sweat, saying, We are going to gather monster materials for Nemesis. I think using the specifications of ourst announcement about the existence of Skuru people, we should present the information to all the people through video, thats the best way to help Nemesis. Those specifications dont you think theyre a bit too high? Commissioner Zhang was stunned for a moment. For the previous announcement about the existence of Skuru, they had spent a lot of resources to guarantee simultaneous release on all channels and within the game. The trouble was quite a bit. Was it really necessary to spend a lot of resources to do it again just for gathering monster materials for Nemesis? Commissioner,pared to the territory that Nemesis gave us, this is totally worth it. Zhong Feng said seriously, Moreover, during these special times, we can often use this way to deliver the most urate information to the public, reducing the panic within society. Its totally beneficial! Commissioner Zhang didnt answer immediately, but rubbed his chin and thought about it. About half a minuteter, he nodded, Alright then, for these extraordinary times, lets do this again for Nemesis! The efficiency of the relevant departments was quite high. Two hourster, at noon. Su Yu was at home, browsing information about the ghosts sent by Xue Wenli while boiling instant noodles. Since the information about the Skuru people was announced, almost all delivery guys left the delivery industry, thus the delivery tforms went bankrupt one after another. To prevent riots, the country took wartime control measures, making it hard to go out for dining. So, Su Yu could only stock various vors of instant noodles at home to get by. But when he was about to eat the noodles after boiling, the phone screen suddenly flickered and went ck. What? Lost connection? Su Yu was stunned, picking up the phone. But at this moment, a video screen popped up on the phone: In the video, Commissioner Zhang, dressed in a neat uniform, sat seriously in front of the conference table, just like the beginning of the Skuru people information announcement video! Could it be that a big event has happened? Su Yu felt a tightness in his heart and immediately ced his phone properly, staring at the screen. At the same time, the same video window also popped up on everyones phones andputers in the real world, and right in front of the yers field of view in the game. Everyone was as surprised as Su Yu, all staring at Commissioner Zhang on the screen. Still asst time, Zhang Ling paused for a few seconds before he slowly spoke, Hello everyone, I am Zhang Ling, we meet again. This time we have a very important matter to announce, lets watch a video first. The video screen switched, and a game scene was edited into the video. In the video, yers jointly built Aphi City. Inside the city wall, arge army was awaiting in full battle array; outside the city wall, the Lord of Orleans City, ude, led the army to invade. The camera constantly switched, finally freezing on a not particrly mighty figure. Su Yu took a closer look, wasnt this himself in the game?! The voice of Zhang Ling also came timely in the video, This yers game ID is called Nemesis, most of you should be very familiar with him. Hearing Zhang Lings words, both in the game and in reality, everyone nodded. Even if they have not yed Evolution, most people already knew about this top yer. Especially the two strategy posts that Su Yu posted on the official forum. Everyone had read them many times, even those who havent yed the game had memorized the two articles. Zhang Ling continued to speak, Under the efforts of Nemesis and the [Yellow Turban Army] guild, they have built the first yer territory in the game, and the core building of the territory, [Mage Tower], is almost finished. Once the [Mage Tower] ispleted, Nemesis can convert all monster drop materials in the game into experience points and quickly upgrade to be a high-ranking powerhouse. But currently the monster material on the game market is not enough for Nemesiss upgrades, more materials are needed. So, I want to earnestly ask everyone to prioritize collecting monster materials in the leveling areas and instances after entering the game, and sell the monster materials to the [Yellow Turban Army] guild and [Relevant Department] guild, not to others. I hope everyone can work together, unite the power of all people, and let Nemesis be a high-ranking powerhouse as soon as possible. Can we do it, everyone? Chapter 241: 241, Plan to “Help Boss Ke Collect Materials” (Supplementary Update Plan)_i Chapter 241: n to Help Boss Ke Collect Materials (Supplementary Update n)_i Trantor: 549690339 Su Yu looked at the video screen on his phone, not knowing what to say for a moment. The relevant department actually asked Commissioner Zhang to guide all yers to collect monster materials for him. This is such a high level! It seems that the favor he gave to the Snow Leopard Territory has been returned quite a bit. The yers in the game saw the video and said to their friends around them,Lets go to the wild monster area to level up and collect materials for Boss Ke. I was just thinking the same thing. Boss Ke has done so much for us ordinary yers, now its time to repay him! Oh right! I have quite a lot of monster materials stored in my warehouse, which I originally nned to use to make equipment. A yer said, pping his head. Then what are we waiting for? Mail it to Boss Kes guild quickly! Im mailing it now, screw it, I wont take any money either, consider this as a gift for Boss Ke and the princesss wedding! After a brief pause, Commissioner Zhang continued, The materials you all have gathered will be purchased by our two guilds at market price, so no one will suffer a loss. Of course, if anyone wants to hoard and deliberately inte the price of monster materials in hopes of making a profit, they will be treated asmitting treason once weve confirmed this. Deal with the consequences yourself! Thats all I have to say. I hope everyone can work together, let Nemesis be a high-ranking powerhouse as soon as possible, reim more Spiritual Spring Eyes originally belonging to us humans, and finally win this war! Commissioner Zhang finished speaking and the whole video ended. After the video ended, yers in the game said nothing and hurried to the leveling zones and instances with their teammates. Meanwhile, on the official forum, the topic of where to farm monsters for the most efficient material gathering quickly became a hot topic of discussion. Everyone expressed their views on the forum: I think in the newbie vige, the [Howling Moon Wolf] at level 10 undoubtedly has the highest materials drop rate, thenes the level 4 [Slope Sheep]. I suggest friends who are still in the newbie vige to farm these two types of wild monsters. I agree, the [Slope Sheep] explodes with tons of equipment drops, but the material [Slope Sheeps Horn] drop rate is really high. Many thieves have used sheep horn to craft daggers before they hit level 10. But dont forget, if your level is more than 3 levels higher than the wild monster, the experience points and drop rate will be greatly reduced. Therefore, I suggest yers under level 7 to farm [Slope Sheep], and those above level 7 to team up and farm [Howling Moon Wolf]. Then what about yers above level 10 who have already left the newbie vige? For level 10 and above, the distribution of wild monsters in every main city is different, its suggested to create some local chat rooms in the game to share experiences. As for where Im located, Orleans City, the level 17 wild monsters [Raging m] by the sea drop quite a lot of material [Raging Pearls], you guys can pay attention to it After Commissioner Zhangs mobilization, a grand campaign of Helping Boss Ke to Gather Materials officially began! The [Slope Sheep] monster zone and [Howling Moon Wolf] monster zone in the newbie viges were packed with yers. Everyone happily attacked every single monster that spawned; In all the main cities, yers also spontaneously set up arge number of chat rooms to discuss monster drop rates, sharing insights and doing their utmost to help Su Yu collect more materials. Su Yu was very moved by everyones behavior, and also felt a strong sense of responsibility. No matter what, he had to get stronger quickly, and could not let everyone down! After hastily eating instant noodles, Su Yu returned to the game. Now, only thest 5 phases of Tinas quest remain. Once these 5 phases werepleted, he could return to his territory and use the [Mage Tower] to level up quickly! After logging on, Su Yu appeared at the entrance of the Blood Union. However, at this time, his in-game log started to refresh non-stop: Ding, you have received a mail containing valuable items, please check it! Ding, you have received a mail containing valuable items, please check it! Ding, you have received a bai Ding, your mailbox has reached the limit (1000/1000), you will no longer receive any mail. Su Yu: In the game, only his friends and guild members could send him mail. He didnt expect everyone to be so enthusiastic that his mailbox got filled up in such a short time. Su Yu quickly opened guild chat and said inside: Thank you all! But my mailbox is full right now, so please send me your mails two dayster and it will be ok to set it cash on delivery. Seeing Su Yu speak, the members of the guild started toment in the guild chat: No need for cash on delivery, Im sending mine voluntarily. Same here, youve cared for us in the past, its time we reciprocated. Me too! And Im going to farm [Raging Pearls] now. Go Boss Ke! Thank you, thank you! Su Yu felt warmth in his heart, but the pressure was also increasing. After chatting with the guild members for a while, Su Yu opened the friend panel, intending to chat with Snow Leopard. But Snow Leopard wasnt online, his sister Snow Fall was in the game though. Seeing Snow Fall, Su Yu thought about the Lai Yin Empire she was part of and an audacious idea suddenly popped up in his mind! So he sent Snow Fall a private message: Snow Fall, are you there? Snow Falls response quickly appeared in the private chat: Sure am. Su Yu went straight to the point: Your brother told me that your teacher is Mavi Song. Snow Fall: Thats right. Su Yu: Do you have ess to meet the Empire Council Chairman Anduin Wrynn? Snow Fall: Uh Hmm .That might be a little difficult. Whats going on? Su Yu: Its okay if its difficult. Can you help me out? Once aplished, as a reward, Ill provide you with some information about the hidden quests on the Lai Yin Empires side. Snow Fall: Sure, Ill help as long as its within my ability. Su Yu: Good, first find out when the Empire Council opens. Later Ill write a letter and mail it to you along with a badge. When the timees, just stand outside with the letter and the badge, the guards wont dare to send you away. When Anduin arrives at the Council, you can simply hand over the letter to him. Snow Fall: Sounds easy enough ok, Ill find out the Councils timing right away! Su Yu: Thank you! Snow Fall: Youre wee. . Su Yu found a mailbox on the roadside, wrote a letter, and mailed the letter and the badge given by the princess together. After that was done, he summoned Dima to go to the Unicorn Camp, where Tina was waiting for him. Just when Su Yu had just logged in, inside the hall of Orleans City Lords Manor. City lord ude sat in the luxuriously decorated main seat, his face solemn as he examined the people beneath. On both east and west sides of the hall sat distinguished guests. Sitting on the east was the formermander of the Unicorn Knights, Grace, behind whom stood some core members of the Windsor Family; On the west side was the chairman of Orleans Citys Magic Association, Gran Jean. Just like the city lord and Grace, he was also a sixth-rank powerhouses. Before the rise of Tina, the three of them were the big three of Orleans City, the sole three sixth-rank Sanctuary powerhouses. Now they gathered together to discuss how to deal with the rise of Tina Garcia. ps: Apologies, I was in corporate culture training thest two weeks and couldnt get off work till eight or nine oclock every night. So updates werent very frequent. Training finally ended today! I was able to get off work at five oclock! So from now on, Ill try to add at least one extra update every two days, and catch up with all the owed chapters before the end of next month! I will do as I said! If I dont catch up with all the owed chapters before July 1, I will add an extra 10 chapters! Chapter 242: 242, Send troops to question guilt_i Chapter 242: Send troops to question guilt_i Trantor: 549690339 Besides the three 6th-rank Sanctuary powerhouses, several nobles of varying status were standing in the hall, including yers who had had the fortune of participating in this meeting afterpleting various tasks. Take the young loli, Sky Dragon, for example. Sky Dragon nced at the other yers in the hall and those yers also nced back. They all shared knowing smiles, their attention fixating on the city lord, ude, who sat in the main seat. Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, ude looked down at the nobles and slowly began, Everyone, how do you view the recent actions of Unicorn Knights chief Tina Garcia? As udes voice fell, a red-haired, middle-aged male noble stepped forward from the crowd. He spoke loudly, Lord, Commander Garcia has used force within the city without the city lords manorsmand. Her actions can be categorized as a serious overstep. A purple-haired female aristocrat also came out of the crowd, saying, Your Lordship, Commander Garcia has been ughtering in the name of clearing out gangs, but in the process, she has harmed many innocent civilians. Hundreds of innocent civilians assets have been plundered by the Knights. She must be chastised! Your Lordship, Garcia she . The nobles in the hall were filled with righteous indignation, bursts of criticisms breaking out. The reaction of the nobles was not strange, really. This time Tina uprooted the underworld forces in the city, indirectly touching the interests of many nobles. The underworld and the nobility were entangled and interwoven. At least 70% of the nobles present had connections with the underworld, and their mutual benefit exchange was countless. Some gangs were even goons secretly supported by the nobles! Like the biggest gang in the city, the Blood Union, has connections with most of the nobles in the city. A few days ago, Tina killed the Unions leader, Jason, with a single sword. Many of the nobles were regrs at the casino that Jason had opened. Now, Tina cleared out the gangs all at once. Those noble Lords who suffered a loss of interests were, of course, not pleased. Using their number as an advantage, they rushed out to oppose Tina. City Lord ude gestured for everyone to quieten down. Then, he turned his gaze to the two distinguished guests on either side, Your Excellency Grace Windsor, Your Excellency Franken Jean, what is your view on this matter? Grace and Franken exchanged a nce. Franken stroked his beard and calmly said, Regardless, Commander Garcias behavior indeed vited militaryw. Firstly, she led the army to attack the bandit camps outside the city and crackdown on the underground organizations within the city, two matters which are outside the jurisdiction of the Unicorn Knights. I am correct, arent I, Lady Grace? Franken looked at Grace on the other side. Grace acknowledged with a nod, Youre right. ording to imperial militaryw, the Unicorn Knights do not need to perform such duties. Those should be the responsibilities of the city guards. Franken nodded, smiling, Secondly, Commander Garcia formted and implemented military actions without any superiorsmands, which also clearly vited militaryw, so Franken paused for a moment here, then spoke loudly: I support you, my Lord, in correcting Commander Garcias wrongful behavior under the framework of imperial militaryw. Frankens choice of words was very careful. He said correct instead of chastise, which lessens the severity greatly. Not only Franken; Graces expression was also very calm as she looked at the city lord, I agree with Magister Frankens views. City Lord ude had long guessed that Franken and Grace would have this kind of reaction. He stood up and formally said to everyone, In that case, why dont those of us present join forces and go to Unicorn Town tomorrow morning to warn Tina Garcia against reckless behavior. What does everyone think? Upon hearing udes stance, the nobles present immediately responded enthusiatically: I support His Lordship! I also support! Commander Garcia must pay for her vitions! Both Franken and Grace raised their eyebrows while the nobles were frenziedly agreeing. They both didnt really want to rashly oppose Tina, as opposing Tina, a being on the same level as them, would definitely have great risks. When their familys core interests arent being damaged, they only want to verbally condemn Tina and verbally support the City Lord, without intending to carry out any substantial actions. This is also known asDDWhen its free, its fine, but not when theres money involved. But if all the citys nobles go to Unicorn Town together to confront Tina with the Lord leading the way and they only stand within the crowd to boost morale, it seems like it wouldnt be a bad idea. Havingprehended this, Franken was the first to say, Lord, I am willing to go to Unicorn Town with everyone else. Grace hesitated, As the formermander of the Unicorn Knights, its inappropriate for me to stand opposed to the army, so I cant go. However, my brother Kerton Windsor will go in my ce. Thats settled then! ude, having achieved his goal, revealed a slight smile, Then, tomorrow morning at ten, everyone will meet at the North Gate of the City and head to Unicorn Town together! Your orders shall be obeyed, my Lord! Sky Dragon and a few other yers stood in the back and watched coldly. They transmitted everything happening inside the city lords manor to the outside world via private message. Even a live text thread appeared on the forums, reciting the exchanges between the powerhouses word for word. Su Yu was in Unicorn Camp ying chess with Tina. He read the meeting contents recounted by Sky Dragon while ying chess. After reading, Su Yu stroked his chin in thought. How should he deal with this group of nobles when theye tomorrow? After about two minutes. Just as Su Yu was thinking of telling Tina about the contents of the city lord manors meeting, he suddenly received a message from Sky Dragon: Nemesis, about the thing you promised meyou would be my boyfriend four yearsteris it still valid? Su Yu: Sister, Skuru is now at our doorstep and youre still thinking about this? So he replied: Of course it counts. As long as Im not dead four yearster, it counts. Sky Dragon: Oh. No more messages after that. The next day at 10 am, which was Tinas 46th task phase, City Lord ude led the citys nobles in a line of over a hundred horse-drawn carriages in an impressive procession up to Unicorn Town to confront Tina. Tina, who had known about the city lord manors meeting from Su Yu early on, had already thought of a strategy in response. Tinas strategy is to fight fire with fire, using roundabout methods to achieve her nning. At 11 in the morning, the huge cavalcade led by the city lord arrived at Unicorn Town. Tina floated in the air, smiling at ude, Franken, and the rest of the simrly floating 5th-rank powerhouses in front of her. Gentlemen, what brings you to Unicorn Town this time? Chapter 243: 243. Intensifying Class Contradictions _1 Chapter 243: 243. Intensifying ss Contradictions _1 Trantor: 549690339 Captain Garcia. ude, the city lord, looked serious as he stared at Tina across from him, Youve been moving troops on your own recently, this is a serious vition of the Empires militaryws ude repeated what Frank had said at the meeting yesterday. Over a dozen high-ranking powerhouses following ude in the sky, as well as the nobles on the ground, were all staring at Tina, trying to put pressure on her. But Tina showed no fear. She stirred up her own momentum, her golden aura rolling around her incessantly, her brown hair fluttering in the wind, making her look like a goddess of war. She cast a nce at the hundred-or-so nobles below and scorned, If I dont deal with these bandits who harm civilians, would you? Tinas momentum pointed directly at ude, and ude immediately felt great pressure. Damn it! Tina just broke through, why is her momentum so strong? udes face turned pale. Nevertheless, the dozens of nobles behind him, as well as the dozen or so high-ranking powerhouses and Franken Jean, all gave him great confidence. After settling his mind, ude said loudly, Of course I will deal with these bandits! But the rebellion has now reached Forest City, our primary enemy is the rebel army, not these bandit forces inside the city. Instead, you, without any superior orders, acted on your own to dispatch troops, this is a clear vition of militaryw! What do you want to do? Tina slowly flew towards ude, who was 50 metres away, holding her sheathed pale-golden long sword, ready to fight at the slightest disagreement. ude, Frank, and the high-ranking powerhouses behind them all drew their weapons, ready for battle. ude didnt stop talking, Captain Garcia, if you can obey military regtions in the future and notunch attacks without superior orders, in the face of our colleagues in the Empire, we can let bygones be bygones. But if you persist in your ways Okay, I promise you. Tina instantly withdrew all her aura, put her long sword back in its sheath. At the same time, sheughed lightly, I promise not to dispatch troops to attack any target without an order in the future, everyone can go back. After Tina finished speaking, she flew back to her camp without looking back. ude the city lord and his people did not react at all. They thought that a big battle was inevitable when they saw Tina getting closer. But they didnt expect Tina to agree to their conditions so readily, which left them feeling as if they had hit cotton with a heavy punch, it was very ufortable. Did Tina admit defeat? ude was a little stunned. But Tinas expression suggested that it was not that simple to admit defeat, she seemed to be hiding something else. The nobles in the scene looked at each other, they were all shocked by Tinas sudden action and didnt know what to do. City Lord ude stood in the air and thought for a long time, turning to his deputy, Ove, did you record the magical image of that scene just now? Of course, my lord. Very well! ude forcefully suppressed his emotions and said to the nobles behind him, Since Tina Garcia has made a promise, lets go back. If she goes back on her word, I will release the magical image, and her image will naturally be severely damaged. Thats the only way then. The nobles present sighed and had their coachmen drive them back to Orleans City. Everyone knew that Tina agreed so readily because she must have some plot in mind. Theres no way to judge it right now, they could only wait and see. A huge mission to question and me, ended up with ame conclusion. . Of course, this is not an end, but a beginning. In the following tasks 47-49 of the Tina line, Tina kept her promise and did not lead the Knights to attack anyone. But she continued to push for her reforms smoothly in Orleans City and Unicorn Town. First was Unicorn Town. Through Su Yus investigation, she made public the ounts of severalrge families, including the Windsor Family and the Hotts Family, who controlled Unicorn Town. Everyone was astonished to learn that: the diligent merchants, farmers, craftsmen and other value-creating people in Unicorn Town received only 3% of the total ie of Unicorn Town, and the remaining 97% went into the pockets of therge families who created no value at all. This caused an uproar in Unicorn Town! People organised rallies and protests, opposing the current mode of profit distribution, demanding that the major families cough up the money they swallowed. In Orleans City, Tina first distributed 64 million spiritual energy coins to the citizens, earning their gratitude. Then, like in Unicorn Town, she obtained and publicised the ounts of the major nobles through yer investigations, exposing the distribution of interests hidden in the dark. The citizens of Orleans City now knew, the number of nobles in the city was less than 1%, but they controlled over 99% of the citys resources, while the majority of the people received only 1%. Moreover, the nobility could ensure the continuation of their families by cultivating high-ranking individuals, creating a ss monopoly. Ordinary people couldnt afford the tuition fees, they didnt even have the opportunity to enter the knights academy or mage academy. Theres no way for them to be cultivators unless they were as talented as Tina herself, otherwise, theres no chance for them to stand out. This series of discoveries intensified the conflict between ordinary people and the noble ss. But because of the huge gap between the power of the people and the nobility (one high-ranking individual could fight hundreds or thousands of ordinary people), the people didnt think about overthrowing the nobility. They took to the streets to protest, demanding that the city lords manor tax the rich more instead of squeezing the poor. At the same time, they demanded a reform of the current education system, so thatmoners children could also have the opportunity to be cultivators, thus having the opportunity to move up the social ss. It was a reasonable request, and most ordinary people joined in. Moreover, the initiators of the demonstration,rge and small, were all backed by Tina. She funded these demonstrations with her spiritual energy coins. The nobility of Orleans City did not allow their cake to be divided by themon people and collectively resisted the demonstration activities. However, the fiercer the resistance, the more intense the protest, and the demonstration activities became more and more heated. The aristocratic lords had no choice but to try to discredit the initiator of the demonstration C Tina. Under their malicious instigation, countless voices of criticism and insult against Tina fermented in the field of public opinion. Some criticised Tina for disobeying military regtions; Some used her of identally hurting good people during the eradication of gangs; Some vilified her for being promiscuous in her private life, often hanging out with Nemesis. Finally, many people came forward to falsify evidence, spreading rumors that Tina liked to eat the hearts and livers of children, and that she had to drink blood every day at noon, and so on. The field of public opinion in the whole of Orleans City became chaotic, with endless discussions and ck-heartedments about Tina. Finally, the task proceeded to thest step, which was the 50th step of the[Orleans City Saintess Line]. Chapter 244: 244. Plan to Kill Tina_1 Chapter 244: 244. n to Kill Tina_1 Trantor: 549690339 On the eve of the 50th loop of Tinas storyline, inside a secret chamber in the city lords manor of Orleans City. City Lord ude, Grace Windsor, and Franken Jean, the three rank six powerhouses, gathered here for a secret meeting. After his two guests had settled down, city lord ude soberly said, Both of you, the demonstration riots in the city are getting more and more intense. Tina Garcia is funding these riots generously, which I fear we will not be able to suppress in a short term. I think its time for us to take some actions! Franken and Grace exchanged a nce. They remained silent, with Franken finally being the one to ask carefully: My Lord City Lord, there is something I never quite understood, can you exin it to me? What is it? Just this, Franken carefully framing his words: Why is Tina Garcia instigating conflicts between the nobles and themoners? What is her motive? On that City Lord ude stroked his chin and leaned back in his chair: I think it has something to do with a foreign adventurer named [Nemesis] at her side. With a wave of udes hand, a clear magical image appeared on the wall. The person depicted was Nemesis. [Nemesis] is the special envoy of the princess, and the princesss favorite. Its probable that the princess is directing Tinas actions from behind the scenes. Tinas recent actions have been instigated by the princess? Franken was taken aback, he had never considered this possibility. Grace, on the other hand, had considered this possibility, having known Nemesiss identity, and suspected whether the recent happenings in Orleans City were the princesss instigation. But there were points where even Grace was uncertain. So she raised the question: My lord, with the imperial army being defeated on the front lines and Forest City already lost, shouldnt the princess be making sure about the stability of the rear? Why is she letting Tina throw Orleans City into such turmoil? ude chuckled: On this subject, I too wasnt very clear at first. Not until an adventurer named [Sky Dragon] under my service did an analysis for me, and everything became clear. Both of you, do you want me to call her over? [Sky Dragon]? Grace nodded, Ive heard of this girl, your second young miss seems to be fond of her. Id like to hear what she has to say. Franken shrugged, indifferent. After receiving responses from the two, ude conveyed a signal to the steward at the door of the secret room. Five minutester, Sky Dragon stepped into the secret chamber with small steps. Before the three rank six powerhouses, she spoke out her analysis slowly and clearly: ording to my judgement, the former Emperors loss of popr support led to the loss of half of the Empires territory. Thus the princess values the will of the people very much. The princess had Tina Garcia turn Orleans City into what it is now in preparation for her arrival. After arriving, by promising the people more educational opportunities, levying heavier taxes on the nobles and reducing taxes on themoners, she will easily hold the will of the people in Orleans City. Its that simple. Grace breathed out a sigh of relief, leaning back in her chair: Oh, so thats the matter. Franken nodded to himself: What the youngdy said makes sense The princess sure is crafty! She hasnt arrived yet, but shes already extended her reach! After Sky Dragon finished her analysis, she retreated behind the City Lord. City Lord ude cleared his throat and looked at the two people in front of him seriously: In essence, what the princess is doing is harming the interests of Orleans Citys nobility in exchange for popr will. If we let things continue like this, the princess and the ordinary people of the city will both benefit, but we will not only suffer losses in interests, but will also be condemned; hence we must do something. What are you nning to do? Grace and Franken looked solemnly at ude. I think we muste together and kill Tina Garcia! ude dered loudly, a hint of ruthlessness shing in his eyes. What did you say? Grace and Franken were both taken aback. Sky Dragon too, opened her mouth in surprise, stunnedly staring at udes back. They had not expected at all that City Lord ude would make such a decision. ude said calmly: Both of you, this isnt a decision I made out of impulse. Think about it, once we kill Tina, everything will be solved! After Tina dies, the demonstrations and parades in the city will stop due tock of organization. After the princess arrives, she cant follow the will of the people and harm our interests anymore. Most importantly, the princess will definitely not make things difficult for us over a dead person. Calm down! Grace quickly raised her hand, her mind a bit mixed up. The matter of joining hands to kill Tina was of great significance. It might even have a significant impact on the entire war situation, how could she decide hastily? Grace, Im very calm actually. ude stared at Grace: As long as we kill Tina, the Windsor family will regain the Unicorn Troop and take back control of Unicorn Town. Then he turned his head towards Franken: Franken, if you agree to join forces, I will persuade all the nobles of the city to jointly purchase the rank seven [Eyes of the Magic me Dragon] from Pearl City; something youve wanted for a long time, isnt it? [Eyes of the Magic me Dragon]? Frankens eyes lit up, he was tempted. The [Eyes of the Magic me Dragon], though it couldnt make him breakthrough to the seventh rank, could increase his strength by 30-40%. This tempts him a lot! At this point, Grace was quite conflicted. If they could regain Unicorn Town and the Unicorn Troop, it would be great for her family. But Tina was the Chosen maiden, could they really kill her? And if things went south? Franken raised the question that Grace wanted to ask: My lord, can the three of usbined really kill Tina? Wouldnt it be troublesome if she escapes? You neednt worry about that. City Lord ude crossed his arms and a confident smile appeared on his face: I have invited a powerful helper. When the timees, Tina will 100% not be able to escape. He then turned to look behind him: Sky Dragon? Ah? Im here! Sky Dragon quickly responded. You need to monitor Tina Garcias location more carefully in theing days and report to me on time! Naturally, you will be rewarded ordingly. I promise to fulfill the task! Sky Dragon responded loudly. In the meantime, 10 kilometers away in the Unicorn military camp. Su Yu read the private message sent by Sky Dragon, nodding slightly: ude is nning to kill Tina? I guess thats thest part of the Second Phase of the task! But who could that powerful helper be? Chapter 245: 245, Powerful foreign aid from both sides (Updated the day before yesterday)_1 Chapter 245: Powerful foreign aid from both sides (Updated the day before yesterday)_1 Trantor: 549690339 At seven in the morning on the second day. As usual, Tina set off from the unicorn camp, using over a dozen wagons to transport supplies to Orleans City to support the parade team within the city. Joining Tina were Su Yu, Fiona, and more than a dozen Unicorn Knights. They all chatted andughed with each other, riding their mounts on the wide stone road, escorting the convoy. But during their journey, Tina and Su Yu remained on guard the entire time. The city lord was likely about to bring his men over, and they had to be prepared. As expected. Just when the team was traveling on a mountain road and about five kilometers from Orleans City, more than a dozen small ck points suddenly appeared in the sky to the south. More than a dozen high-ranking warriors were flying over to this side. Theyre here! Tinas expression became serious. First, she cast [Tina Garcias Blessing] on Su Yu, then she leaped up from her unicorn Anna and flew into the sky. Everyone, be on guard! Tina ordered the Unicorn Knights loudly. Understood, General! Fiona and the other Unicorn Knights changed their expressions when they saw arge group of high-rank warriors flying over. However, they quickly spread out around the convoy, protecting it. Su Yu summoned Dima back and then flew into the sky to stand beside Tina. He held Tinas cool, tense hand and reassured her, Its okay, Im here. Hmm. Feeling the warmth of Su Yus palm, Tinas anxiety eased slightly. The little ck points were getting closer. Before long, Fiona and the Unicorn Knights below could see who these high-ranking warriors were. The one flying in front was City Lord ude Strathrow; On his left and right were the former legionmander, Grace Windsor, and the president of Orleans Citys magic guild, Franken Jean, closely following him; Behind these three Sanctuary-level warriors, nine high-ranking warriors under the city lords manor were evenly spaced out in a line. More than a dozen warriors were quickly approaching Tina and Su Yu. Aunt, what are you trying to do? Fiona eximed in shock. Seeing this setup, she guessed what the city lord wanted to do. They couldnt be nning to kill the legionmander! Grace, who also saw Fiona from below, said coldly, Fiona, lead the knights away now and return to the knight camp. But Before Fiona could finish her sentence, Tina took out a white gemstone ring from her Space Ring in the sky. This ring was given to her by the guardian god, Kevin Forsythia. It could teleport her to a safe ce. Tina held the ring aloft, coldly watching City Lord ude from a distance: Lord Mayor, what are you doing? ude did not answer. He knew about the ring in Tinas hand. Previously ind Aphi City, Tina had used this ring to force Xi Fan, who was in the process of teleporting, to retreat. Moreover, he hadalready prepared a countermeasure to this ring. ude was still 300 meters away from Tina and Su Yu, and he suddenly shouted, Master Antondidas, its your turn! Alright! An old voice seemed to echo from far away. But in an instant, a bright white [Space Rune] suddenly appeared in the middle between Tina and the city lord, 150 meters away from both of them. Space Lock! Antondidass voice rang out again. As his voice echoed, the [Space Rune] exploded, a silver light rapidly expanding to cover an area of 5 kilometers around them. What is this?! Tina eximed in surprise. She also noticed that the white gem ring in her hand lost its luster instantly under the silver light. This is Space Lock. Antondidass voice echoed again, Now, within a radius of 5 kilometers, no one can use any type of space-based teleportation magic. Interesting, isnt it? Apanying his words, the figure of Antondidas, dressed in a pale blue magic robe, appeared at the spot where the [Space Rune] had exploded. He removed his mages hat and bowed to Su Yu: Your Excellency Nemesis, we meet again! So, its you, Antondidas! Su Yus pupils contracted. Antondidas was the High-Ranking space mage from the Sanctuary who, in the 25th round of the princesss escape scenario, used the [Group Teleportation Skill] to transport the princess by boat to the shore. They didnt expect that the powerful ally ude had mentioned was him! Ha ha! The city lord, ude,ughed arrogantly: Tina Garcia, Master Antondidas has a special way to lock the space, how about it? You cant summon the Avatar of the Guardian God now, can you? Tina nced at the white gem ring in her hand, which had lost her luster, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Su Yus hand. Fortunately, Nemesis knew and had a contingency n; otherwise, it would be aplete disaster today, she thought to herself. But Su Yu was very calm. He looked at ude, a sh of contempt in his eyes: ude Strive! Antondidas is a powerful person from the Lai Yin Empire. He once attacked the princess in Kaishi Town, you inviting him is treason! Grace and Frank, standing beside ude, also looked uneasy. The appearance of Antondidas made them realize that they had been duped! Initially, they thought that ude intended to kill Tina to protect the interests of the nobles of Orleans City. They didnt expect that ude didnt think so, he wasmitting treason! And they, too, seemed to be bound to udes war chariot. Haha! udeughed heartily: Treason? In two months there will no longer be a Goldfinch kingdom. How can onemit treason then? Then he turned to his side: Grace, Frank, Master Antondidas, lets act together and quickly capture Tina Garcia. And dont let Nemesis, who is by her side, escape! Having said that, ude lifted his two-handed sword, encased in a halo of brown rage, and quickly advanced towards Tina. Grace and Frank exchanged a look, both seeing a touch of helplessness in each others eyes. But there was no other way, things had already progressed to this point, they had to steel themselves and go ahead. Grace took out her one-handed sword; Frank began chanting a magic spell, with Tina as their target. Antondidas also locked onto Su Yu, casting control magic to prevent Su Yu from escaping. . At this critical juncture, a dazzling light suddenly appeared in the distant eastern sky! Immediately after, a petite female figure in red charged in like lightning, almost instantly arriving at the center of the battlefield! She waved her tiny hand, and a huge ice wall emerged instantly, shielding Tina and Su Yu in front of them. Franks [Fire Dance Dazzling me Break] had already been cast. But when it struck the massive ice wall, not even a trace of the ice wall melted. Instead, the [Fire Dance Dazzling me Break] was directly shattered. Grace and city lord ude, caught off guard, also struck the ice wall. Both of their strikes didnt have much effect on the ice wall, only knocking off a few kes of ice. But Antondidass face changed drastically. Because he recognized the person, it was actually -Princess Alyssa! With the empowerment of the avatar of the Guardian God, Princess Alyssa has now reached the peak of level seven in strength. They were all in trouble! Chapter 246: 246, [Soul Slavery Contract], the Death of Claude_1 Chapter 246: [Soul very Contract], the Death of ude_1 Trantor: 549690339 Upon arrival, Alyssa gave Su Yu a cheerful smile like a little girl: Im here, Nemesis! Im still on time, right? But seeing Su Yu and Tina holding hands, Alyssas smile froze on her face. Tina noticed the gaze of the princess and her cheeks reddened slightly, quickly releasing Su Yus hand. However, Su Yu didnt think much about it. Heughed to Alyssa: Of course, Princess! You arrived just in time. If you were anyter, Tina and I would have ended up dead here. Last night, after Su Yu got the information about the secret meeting of the city lords manor from Sky Dragon, he immediately arrived at Forest City to meet Princess Alyssa. After learning about the situation in Orleans City, Alyssa decided toe in person. But she didnt expect to see Su Yu and Tina holding hands as soon as she arrived. What is this? Are theying clean with her? Alyssa ignored Su Yu and turned her frosty gaze on to ude and Antondidas, wishing she could tear these two to pieces! Especially Antondidas, her good friendC the [Star Realm Kitten] Morning Star almost died in Kaishi Town and he had a hand in it. Alyssa released the pressure of a legendary peak powerhouse, pressing towards the two. The dazzling pattern behind her spun rapidly, and her spear itched for action. The faces of udes group turned exceptionally pale after the Princess appeared. With the added power of the guardian deity, the princess reached a seventh-order peak! They were only at the sixth level. Ifparing theirbat power, it would take approximately 30 udes or 10 Antondidas united together to have hopes of defeating Alyssa. The gap in their strength was too huge so huge that it was not likely to be surpassed. As for escaping ha. Antondidas detonated the [Space Rune],pletely blocking all surrounding space within five kilometers. They couldnt use teleportation to escape, they could only utilize their own flight ability. But how could they possibly escape from the Magical hand of Alyssa who was at the peak of legendary realm with their flight abilities? They might not even be able to make it five kilometers before Alyssa would catch up with them and finish them with her spear. So, the four didnt dare to move an inch while floating in mid-air, their faces were ugly. Antondidas, have you thought about what you want to inscribe on your tombstone? Alyssas spear drew a beautiful arc in the sky as she approached Antondidas looking cial. Sweat dripped from Antondidass forehead, he forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. He took off his mages hat and said: Princess, I am willing to surrender to you, please do not kill me. Alyssa really wanted to stab Antondidas to death with her spear to avenge Morning Star, and also to vent the pent-up anger in her heart. But then, she thought of Antondidass powerful [Group Teleport] spell, which could y a huge role in the war. With this in mind, her killing intent diminished slightly. A blue scroll flew out from her Space Ring. The scroll floated in front of Antondidas and then automatically unfolded. This is a blue, starlit scroll with a veryplex magic circle inscribed on it. The center part of the magic circle was now slowly rotating under the drive of magical power, emitting an intimidating blue light. This is the [Soul very Contract] created by the Star Realm. After signing the contract, you will bepletely controlled by me for a whole three years and be my servant. Now, I give you a choice, either be my servant or die! Antondidass heart was beating fast. He was fully aware of the situation right now. If he didnt sign the contract, he was likely to die here. T Yang was far away from him and it was impossible for him to rush over and save him. If he signed the contract, he would be enved by the princess for the entire three-year term of the [Soul very Contract]. After a brief period of contemtion, Antondidas asked, Your Highness, what about after three years? If the princess were to enve him again with another contract, it would be better to just die. However, Alyssa just snorted coldly in response, After three years, I will grant you freedom, allowing you to leave. I swear upon my surname Goldfinch. Given Alyssas assurance, Antondidas breathed a sigh of relief slightly, his thoughts began to lean towards signing the contract. But there was still a lingering skepticism in his heart. Antondidas looked directly at the princess and said, Your Highness, I am a citizen of the Lai Yin Empire. During the contract period, could you not make me attack my own countrymen? If you agree to this, I will sign the contract right now. Alyssa raised her brows, You dare to negotiate with me? However I can agree to this trivial condition. [Alyssa was mainly interested in getting Antondidass group teleportation skillwhether or not hed participate in battles was secondary.] Well then. Antondidas took a deep breath and ced his hand on the scroll in front of him. The scroll quickly disintegrated, its light blue starlight broke into tiny particles and quickly spread over Antondidass body, tightly wrapping him up. Antondidas became as if he were petrified, motionless while the starlight corroded his body, and didnt make a sound. Alyssa no longer paid attention to Antondidas. She cast her intimidating gaze on ude and the others in the distance, and the other two [Soul very Contracts] flew out from the Space Ring, respectively flying towards Grace Windsor and Franken Jean. Grace and Franken understood the princesss intentions, and without hesitation, extended their hands towards the scroll. Soon, they, too, werepletely enveloped by starlight and subjected to its corrosion. ude, the city lord, looked extremely ufortable. The princess had given scrolls to the other two but not him, the implications were clear. Still, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart, Your Highness, what about me? Hmph, you? Alyssa looked at him cold as ice: ude Strathrow, you dare to betray the Empire! You conspired with the rebels against the Empire, this is a capital crime! As Alyssa thought of Su Yu, who was suspected of betraying her on one side, her anger red up. Could you spare me? I am willing to hand over all my property andnd ude begged pitifully. Dont even think about it! The princess stepped forward, intending to kill him with a single thrust of her spear. But before she took action, she suddenly halted. She turned to Tina, who was standing behind her, and with a smirk said, Tina Garcia, Im giving you a chance, kill this traitor with your own hands. Understood! Your Highness! Tina had long desired to kill this evil man, ude, with her own hands; upon gaining the princesss indication, she swiftly raised her sword, which turned into a golden light before charging towards ude. The rest of the story followed without any unexpected happenings. After a ten minute fierce battle, the desperate ude, weaker than Tina, was impaled through the heart by her sword and died. The nine city lords manors fifth order powerhouses kneeled mid-air in allegiance to the princess, not daring to make any movement. The era of Orleans City belonging to the Strathrow family hade to a resolute end. Chapter 247: 247, [Naya Hourglass (Golden Legend)]_1 Chapter 247: [Naya Hourss (Golden Legend)]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Throughout the time Tina was battling against ude, Alyssa, with her arms crossed, had been watching Tina. Whats worth mentioning is that, throughout the entire process, Alyssa never so much as nced at Su Yu, as if Su Yu didnt exist at all. However, Su Yu could feel Alyssas fluctuating emotions. Every three to four seconds, his game log would refresh with a system notification: Ding, [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you decreased by 1. Ding, [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you decreased by 1. Ding, [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you increased by 2. Ding, [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you decreased by 1. Ding, [Princess Alyssas] favorability towards you increased by 1. Alyssas favorability towards Su Yu was fluctuating slightly non-stop. Fortunately, her favorability never fell below the critical point of 40 required for the [Enthusiasm stage]. Su Yu knew Alyssa must be angry, he flew towards her, intending to exin his rtionship with Tina. However, when he was approximately 10 metres away from Alyssa, an invisible Air Wall suddenly appeared, keeping him isted from her and preventing him from approaching. During Tinas battle with ude, Sky Dragon and the other yers working on quests within the noble factions also rushed to the scene. Watching ude who was gradually weakening in the sky, everyone had different expressions. Some were mocking, some indifferent, some pitying But most of them were contemting on how to continue with their current tasks, thinking of ways to reap the most benefits from the following quests. Su Yu spotted Sky Dragon among the crowd and gave her a wave. Sky Dragon also saw him and returned the wave. It was then that Su Yu suddenly remembered something. He opened the private chat interface and sent a message to Sky Dragon: Sky, do you know about the city lord udes second daughter, [Frandor]? Sky Dragon quickly replied: Of course, my quest line starts with her. Whats up? Su Yu: You need to keep an eye on her. Judging from some parts of the future I foresaw, she will likely be an important NPC in the main storyline of the next expansion, just like the princess and Tina. Sky Dragon: Su Yu: Consider this piece of information as a thank you for the intel you gave me about the city lords manor previously! I have only told you, so make sure to seize this opportunity. Once he finished replying, Su Yu closed the private messaging interface. The next expansion is called [The Kings Conflict], and one of the main storylines involves udes second daughter, [Frandor]. After her fathers death, Frandor travelled far and wide to the Lai Yin Empire, imploring the emperor of Lai Yin Empire about her plight, begging him to bring justice for her. The emperor of Lai Yin was deeply moved by Frandors plea. For the sake of justice (actually, he saw the weakened state of the Goldfinch Empire and wanted to take advantage of it), he joined forces with other human states as well as the Elf Race and Orc n to strike at the Goldfinch Empire. Chances are, Su Yu himself wont participate in the main storyline quests in the uing expansion. After all, in a little over a month, he would likely already be a fifth-rank power, so the rewards from the main storyline would be somewhat unattractive to him. So he decided to give Sky Dragon the chance to follow the main storyline. With her skills, luck, and financial power, she should be able to gain plenty of benefits from the main storyline. The scene switches back to Tina. After ying ude, Tina sheathed her sword and addressed Alyssa in a solemn tone, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I have sessfullypleted my mission by ying ude! Well done, Tina. You did just great. Alyssa flew to Tina and said, Our forefathers and Nemesis often mentioned you, and today when we met, youre indeed an extraordinary girl! As a fourteen-year-old calling Tina a young girl, it seemed quite funny. However, Alyssa was anything but normal. She had been trained rigorously in court etiquette and naturally exuded royal dignity. Hence, despite her peculiar way of addressing Tina, nobody felt any dissonance. Alyssa gazed at Tina and slowly asked, Tina, what is your rtionship with Nemesis? We Tinas cheeks turned slightly pink. We are just friends. Nothing more. Just ordinary friends? Hmm kind of ordinary friends. Thats good. Alyssa nodded her head and said, Tina, Nemesis mentioned that you are proficient in chess and yourmanding capabilities are extraordinary. For a while,e with me to Forest City. Currently, the position of Deputy Marshal of the Empire is vacant and I believe you are capable enough for the role. Simultaneously, Alyssa thought to herself, If I keep Tina close, it would minimize her interactions with Nemesis. Over time, their rtionship would probably fade. Tina, unaware of the princesss ulterior motives, earnestly responded, Im willing to serve Your Highness! Excellent! Alyssa patted Tinas shoulder. Then she turned her head towards Su Yu, who was not far away. Nemesis, ording to our forefathers, you have a chance to be a prince throughpetition in the future. However, your second-rank strength is too weak. You cantpete with other princes from foreign countries. I found some magical creature materials in Xi Fans treasury. I hope they can help you rapidly gain strength. Alyssa waved her hand, and a Space Ring flew out from her hand falling into Su Yus hands. Ding, Main storyline [Saintess of Orleans City (50/100)] has beenpleted. You received a reward: [Demons grimoire (Gold)] X 1, Spiritual energy coin X 10,000. [Princess Alyssa] has given you extra rewards: Fifth-rank material [Heart of the South Wind Dragon], Fifth-rank material [Storm Dragonlings Heart], Sixth-rank material [Leg Bone of the ze Gryphon]. Su Yu was surprised. He didnt expect the princess to give him three high-level magical creature materials, which were incredibly helpful for him to quickly enhance his capability! At the same time, he received another game prompt: Ding, it is detected that you possess the [Stopwatch (Gold)], [Explorers Arm Guard (Gold)], [Demons grimoire (Gold)] items. Would you like tobine these three items into a [Naya Hourss (Gold)]? [Yes] [No] Of course, Su Yu immediately chose [Yes]. After making his choice, three golden lights flew out from his backpack andbined into a golden hourss in mid-air and then returned to Su Yus hand. [Naya Hourss (Gold Legend)] essory Spell strength +100 Armor +50 Characteristics 1: Casting speed +10%. Characteristics 2: Active Skill [Stagnation]: Bes immune to all damage and cannot be targeted for 2.5 seconds, but cannot perform any other action during this period. (cooldown time 120 seconds) Characteristics 3: Enhancesprehension of [Time] rted spells. Characteristics 4: One-time use, makes time stop within a 100 km radius for 5 seconds (youre unaffected by the time stop). Bes void after usage. Note: Even if you cant act, you can still get an Oscar. Chapter 248: 248, Double Joy, Ultimate Main Storyline_1 Chapter 248: Double Joy, Ultimate Main Storyline_1 Trantor: 549690339 Alyssas previousments were essentially fabrications. After ascending the throne to be Empress, she could marry whoever she wanted, even amoner, and no one would have a say. Su Yu wouldnt need to fight for his position. She said those words for two main reasons: First, she wanted to give Su Yu some things to help him quickly increase his strength. But there always needs to be a suitable excuse to give gifts, right? Second, she wanted to use this opportunity to inform Tina that Su Yu was her chosen one, hinting her to keep her distance from Su Yu. Tina obviously understood what the princess meant. Prince?! Tina couldnt believe it as she looked at Su Yu. The princess had actually set her sights on Su Yu? If Su Yu became a prince, wouldnt she lose her chance to develop a rtionship with him? Thinking about this, a huge shadow instantly veiled her heart. But then she thought again. Su Yu was not a person who craved power and wealth. Tina believed that even if Su Yu had the opportunity to be a prince, he would definitely give up his position to be with her, given their friendship! As she looked at Su Yus figure, remembering all the things they had gone through together, the shadow lifted, and her heart was clear. Confidence sparkled in Tinas eyes again. She smiled and asked, Your Highness, when are we leaving for Forest City? Seeing Tinas reaction, Alyssa couldnt help but be shocked. This deviated from her expectations! However, Alyssa didnt think too much about it, and flew towards Forest City: Lets go now. Its been too long since I left Forest City. It would be troublesome if the rebels find an opportunity. Antondidas, Grace, and Frank had nowpletely been imbued with the starlight, their pupils turned pale blue with starlight. Like puppets, they followed behind Princess Alyssa. Tina nodded, following the flight path of the princess. The nine fifth-tier powerhouses in the city lords manor nced at each other, and reluctantly followed suit. A group of high-ranking powerhouses quickly left towards Forest City. Su Yu also received game info: Ding, the second phase of the main storyline [Saintess of Orleans City] has beenpleted. The next phase will begin on July 1. Please look forward to it. Ding, the system detected that you have received two main storylines, [Saintess of Orleans City] and [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire]. Since the tasks in the third and fourth stages of both storylines arepletely the same, the two storylines have been merged into the ultimate main storyline C [Goldfinch Empire]. Note: The ultimate main story has higher reward limits! Su Yu: He hadnt expected that when Tina and the princess met, the two main storylines would automatically merge! However, he didnt mind. This meant less running around. He just hoped that the main storylines in the future would provide more gold items! Alyssa hadnt bothered to be discreet when she spoke just now, so the yers below could clearly hear her conversation with Tina. Many people understood what Alyssa meant, and looked at Su Yu with weird expressions. Among the crowd, the little girl from Sky Dragon nearly bent overughing. She opened her private chat interface, sent Su Yu a dozen [Big Laugh] emoticons, and then said: Nemesis, youre impressive! The two main female characters in the story are starting to fight over you! Su Yu: [Sighing emoticon] Ahh, its troubling to be so charismatic. Thankfully, he had toned down his attractiveness when he entered the game, or else it would be even more troublesome now. Sky Dragon: I dont care, as long as Im the first wife. Those two cant reach the offline world, so they cant threaten my position! [Smirking with sunsses emoticon] Su Yu: Sky Dragon: What are you nning to do next? Are you going to follow them to Forest City? Su Yu: No, the next task hasnt started yet. I n to go back to my territory and activate the [Magic Pool] to refine materials I wonder how Snow Fall is progressing. Sky Dragon: Snow Fall, a woman?[Alert emoticon] Su Yu: Yeah, Snow Fall is Snow Leopards younger sister, three years younger than me. Snow Leopard even promised to give me his sisters hand in marriage! [Smirking with sunsses emoticon] Sky Dragon: While Su Yu and Sky Dragon were chatting, in the reign Empire, far away on another continent. In Paramecia City, the capital of the reign Empire, Snow Fall stood at the entrance of the Empire Parliament Building, holding up a letter and a badge. Arge number of parliament members had already gathered in front of the Parliament Building. At this time, they were huddled together whispering, casting serious looks at Snow Fall and the badge in her hand. The reign Empire was the weakest of the three human empires in the game world. Unlike the Goldfinch and Wind Chime Empires, which had been in existence for thousands of years, the reign Empires history was only just over a hundred years, which was a rtively new Empire. A little more than a hundred years ago, Sean Violet, the emperor of the reign Empire, unified thisnd and established the reign Empire. However, because they were rtively new, there were no God-Level eight-tier super-beings in the country and only eight seven-tier beings, with the strongest being [T Yang], who was just a bit inferior to [Xi Fan]. Both in terms of overall strength and top-tierbat power, they were significantly weaker than the other two major empires. Thats why, seeing the badge in Snow Falls hands, the members of parliament dared not act rashly. After a while, there was amotion in the crowd. A young man dressed in a golden and white priest robe flew quickly from the horizon and arrived in front of the Parliament Building. Seeing the badge in Snow Falls hand and the Goldfinch pattern engraved on it, his eyes slightly condensed. Lord Anduin. A nearby member of parliament immediately spoke to him: This littledy is a student of Lord Mavi Shadow Song, an adventurer from another realm. She ims to have an important letter for you. This priest was Anduin Wrynn. Upon seeing him, Snow Fall sighed in relief. She walked towards Anduin with the letter and handed it to him: Lord Anduin, I have a friend named [Nemesis]. He is a special envoy of the princess of the Goldfinch Empire. He asked me to personally deliver this letter to you. Oh? [Nemesis]? Anduin stroked his chin: Ive heard of him from T Yang. Its because of him that T Yangs n failed. However, Anduin didnt hesitate. He tore open the envelope and began reading its contents. The first half of the letter Su Yu wrote was the standard diplomatic nicety, giving his greetings to Anduin, and mentioning the friendship between the peoples of the two countries. It was thetter half of the letter that contained the main point. Su Yu wrote in the letter: Your Excellency Anduin, I am currently constructing the [Mage Tower]. The [Magic Pool] and the other coreponents of the Mage Tower have beenpleted. But the demonization efficiency, conversion efficiency, and output efficiency of the Magic Pool are currently very low. So, I would like to invite [Thor] from your country to visit my territory and enchant my Magic Pool with a top-tier [Thunder-forged Blessing]. You would have to bring your materials. What do you think? Chapter 249: 249、【Superior Refining Mana Pool·Triple Magic Array】_1 Chapter 249: 249Superior Refining Mana PoolTriple Magic Array_1 Trantor: 549690339 Demonization Efficiency, Conversion Rate, and Output Efficiency are the three most important indicators of the [Magic Pool]. Demonization Efficiency refers to the speed of converting monster materials into pure magic power the faster the conversion, the higher the value. Conversion Rate, on the other hand, refers to the energy utilization rate of monster materials. For instance, amon quality Magic Pool could only convert 10% of the energy from a dragons heart into magic power. But a rare quality Magic Pool could achieve a conversion rate as high as 20%! For the same dragons heart, a high-quality Magic Pool could convert double the energy into magic power! Output Efficiency as the name suggests refers to the speed of extracting refined magic power to the outside world. A short time ago in Pearl City, Su Yu spent nearly 30 million spiritual energy coins collecting materials and eventually created a rare quality Magic Pool. Though he was quite satisfied, upon hearing about Snow Falls arrival in the Empire of Lai Yin, he sought a way to contact Thor. With Thors top-level enchantment, the quality of the Magic Pool could be elevated once more! Anduin had quite an understanding of the Mage Tower, so he continued reading. At the end of the letter, Su Yu wrote: Your Excellency Anduin, I have a Soul Fragment left behind after Xi Fans death. If you are willing, I can trade it in exchange for this enchantment opportunity. Upon seeing this, Anduins eyes widened in surprise. He grasped the letter so tightly, almost tearing it apart. A Soul Fragment of Xi Fan! Its Xi Fans Soul Fragment! An overjoyed Anduin eximed. 80 years ago, he made a mistake which caused him to lose the trust of the Sanctuary, trapping him at the peak of the fifth tier, unable to make any progress. Previously, he and Thor and T Yang were at the same tier, but now Thor is at the peak of the seventh tier, while he is still stuck at the peak of the fifth tier, without any hope of advancement. If he could get Xi Fans Soul Fragment, he could seize this opportunity to abandon the Sanctuary and embrace the Shadow. Advancing to the sixth tier would be no problem, and even reaching the seventh tier in his lifetime is not impossible! In the face of such a great opportunity, he naturally wanted to seize it! Anduin immediately spoke to Snow Fall with a pleasant smile, Adventurer, please convey to Lord Nemesis that I agree to his trade terms! I assure you that Lord Thor will arrive in Orleans City this afternoon! Really? Thank you so much, Sir Anduin! Snow Fall eximed happily. No need for thanks, I should thank you, Anduin politely replied. Back at Su Yus territory, Aphi City. The newly constructed Mage Tower was located at the northernmost point of the city, with the boundless ck Forest to its north and the city district of Aphi City to the south. Su Yu rode Dima towards the Mage Tower. While still en-route, he received a message from Snow Fall, Hey hey, Anduin has agreed to your terms, and Thor will be there this afternoon. Su Yu responded, Noted, thank you very much! Snow Fall: Not at all . Theres one more thing I hesitated to ask you. Su Yu: What is it? Feel free to say it, I am not a petty person. Snow Fall: My brother told me youre eating instant noodles for every meal now? Su Yu: Yeah, as long as it fills my stomach, Im good. Snow Fall: My brother asked me to propose, would you like me to move in with you? Our school is currently suspended, I can cook for you every day. Seeing this message, Su Yu twitched at the corners of his mouth. He had teased the Snow Leopard about marrying his sister as a joke. Could it be that Snow Leopard had taken it seriously? Su Yu quickly replied, That wont be necessary. Theres just one bed here, it wouldnt be convenient. Snow Fall: No problem, I can sleep on the floor. Su Yu quickly changed the subject: Haha, lets talk about the hidden mission. To the north of Paramecia City, theres a little town called [Truffle Town] which produces lots of truffles. You can talk to the town chief there After sending a whole slew of hidden mission information to Snow Fall, Su Yu exhaled a sigh of relief and closed the private chat interface. Meanwhile, Dima had brought him to the foot of the Mage Tower. The Mage Tower was a 40-meter high, grey-towered building with six total floors. However, aside from the Magic Pool on the third floor, all other areas were temporarily not set up. The home of a high-ranking mage, the Mage Tower, was chalk full of dense magical formations C defense formations on the outer walls and amplification formations on the inner ones including additional runes formon daily life uses. Under the empowerment of the Mage Tower, even a typical sixth-tier mage could stand up to seventh-tier mages from outside C greatly enhancing the Mages abilities. The cost Su Yu incurred for the Mage Tower was less than 10 million spiritual energy coins, not even one third of the cost of the Magic Pool. However, the protective capability of the Mage Tower now was not to be underestimated C even a sixth-tier Sanctuary expert would have a hard time breaking through the Tower in a short period. Katie, the little girl, had been in charge of the construction of the Mage Tower and the Magic Pool. Seeing Su Yus arrival, she was genuinely delighted, eagerly touring him around the Mage Tower and introducing him to its interior. Lord, this is the first-floor reception hall for hosting your guests. But it hasnt been fully furnished yet This is the second-floorboratory for your magical experiments This is the study As they proceeded with the tour, they reached the third floor. In the center of the third floor was arge magical formation with exceptionalplexity etched into the ground. At the center of the magic formation was a pool two meters deep, made of precious metals such as mithril and peacock gold. My Lord, this is the Magic Pool. It took Master Mage Li Yueke from Pearl City, together with his students, half a month toplete, Katie pointed out the pool in front of them. Good, very good. Su Yu ced his hand on the main control panel next to the Magic Pool, and its attributes immediately appeared before his eyes. [Triple-Enchantment Supreme Magic Pool] Quality: Rare Total Magic Pool Capacity: 1 Million Demonization Efficiency: 3324 Conversion Rate: 24.5% Output Efficiency: 3145 Note: ce monster materials in and activate the Magic Pool. The Magic Pool will transform monster materials into the purest form of magic. Hmm, these attributes are not bad. Su Yu nodded. Master Mage Li Yueke, being the expert he was, had the Magic Pool reaching the upper limit of the rare quality level under his guidance. Su Yu had visited some Magic Pools in his previous life. Common quality Magic Pools had a Demonization and Output Efficiency of about 1000+, and a Conversion Rate of around 10%. The rates were higher for rare quality ones with Demonization, Output Efficiency around 2500+, and Conversion Rate about 20%. The attributes of this Magic Pool were much higher than the average rare quality ones. It seems his 30 million wasnt spent in vain! My Lord, shall we start now? Katie, the young girl, asked eagerly with a cute expression. She had never seen a Magic Pool in operation and could hardly wait. No rush, Katie. We are waiting for one important guest, Su Yu said, shaking his head with a smile. Just then. Crack! A forked lightning bolt illuminated the sky outside the window, clearly visible even in daylight. Chapter 250: 250, Thor, Mana Pool Enchantment_1 Chapter 250: Thor, Mana Pool Enchantment_1 Trantor: 549690339 Apanied by forked lightning that covered half the sky, the giant figure of a being gradually emerged in the sky. This was the second most powerful entity in the Lai Yin Empire, the seventh-rank peak thunder mage Thor. Thors body stood over 53 meters tall, slightly higher than Su Yus Mage Tower, and weighed approximately 75,000 tons. A creature of such mass wasnt typical of the human race. Thors true identity was a member of the Mogu n, sworn enemies of the Pandamen. Long, long ago, the Pandamen were under the rule of the Mogu n. Over a thousand years ago, the Pandamen overthrew the oppressive rule of the Mogu Empire, establishing a brand-new Pandamen Empire. The Mogu Empire was subsequently fragmented, scattering its people worldwide. Thor was a descendant of the disced Mogu n. Upon noticing Thors arrival, two figures quickly ascended into the sky from the city of Aphi, namely Alex and Cami, Sanctuary mages of the Schrs Temple. The headquarters of the Schrs Temple had already been relocated to Aphi city, where Alex and Cami had long been residing. Thus, upon Thors appearance, they immediately ascended, warily watching him. The yers in the city also looked up towards the colossal Thor in the sky, their eyes filled with curiosity. Alex gave Thor a respectful mages greeting and cautiously inquired, You should be Thor from the Lai Yin Empire, Your Excellency. May I ask what brings you here? A mighty figure like Thor would probably outmatch thebined strength of both himself and Cami, tenfold! Could it be that a disaster was about to befall the city of Aphi? Thors appearance wasnt much different from that of a human; his light blue skin entuated his imposing, muscr physique, with exceptionally thick limbs. He outright ignored the presence of the two little fellows before him, instead extending his spiritual energy to search within the entire city radius. Shortly, he found the Mage Tower, and Su Yu who was standing by the window of the tower. Su Yu didnt yet possess the ability to fly. So, he jumped out of the window, activating the item [Tinas Golden Wings]. A pair of soft gold wings over a meter long unfurled behind Su Yu. Driven by the wings, Su Yu was propelled into the sky like an arrow released from a taut bowstring, reaching the same altitude as Thor. He then used the [Fragment of Hifans Soul] to cast the Priest-ss spell [Levitation], enabling him to float in mid-air. Upon seeing the fragment in Su Yus hands, Thor instantly knew who he was dealing with and looked in his direction. Su Yu returned Thors nce with a smile, giving him the mages greeting and saying, Your Excellency Thor, I didnt expect you to arrive so soon! Anduin urged me to hasten. As I had nothing better to do, I thought I might just see whats in store. Thors mighty voice echoed in the sky. Lets cut to the chase andplete the trade. As soon as Thor finished speaking, his body transformed into a sh of lightning and sped into Su Yus Mage Tower. Su Yu hastily cancelled the [Levitation] spell and began to freefall. As he neared the window of the Mage Tower, he used [sh Skill] to smoothly enter the tower. Throughout this, Thor hadnt spared a single nce towards Alex and Cami,pletely ignoring their existence. However, the two of them dared not voice any objections; they simply chuckled self-deprecatingly and returned to the Schrs Temple headquarters. Inwardly, however, they couldnt help but hold Su Yu in higher regard. Thor was one of the top ten strongest beings in the human world. If Su Yu could manage to call him over, that meant his connections were quite formidable! Inside the Mage Tower. Thors body had already shrunk to the size of a normal person, standing over two meters tall. He ced his hand on the control panel of the Mana Pool, getting an understanding of its abilities. Upon Su Yus return to the Mage Tower, Thor looked at him and said indifferently, Your Mana Pool has very good potential. With my enchantment, its performance should improve by about 30%. 30% Thank you very much! Su Yu was ted. An improvement of 30% in performance would certainly upgrade the Mana Pool to Epic quality, greatly reducing the time required for his promotion to High-Ranking. However Thor stroked his chin, slowly saying, Anduin wants me to pass on a message to you If I surrender to the Imperial Army? Su Yu quickly guessed and blurted out. Thor waspletely taken aback by the message, ??? Ahem. Su Yu stifled an awkward cough. What message from His Excellency Anduin? Thor spared Su Yu a nce, responding, I own a peak sixth-rank [Heart of a Fiery Thunder Dragon]. If youre willing, this heart can be made into an enchantment material for your Mana Pool. After sessful enchantment, the Mana Pools performance can be further improved by 70%. 70%?! Are you serious? Su Yus heart thumped. However, he calmed down quickly. So Your Excellency Thor, whats the cost? The cost would be ten fragments of Hifans Soul. Of course, if you cant afford it, just forget I ever mentioned it. Thor crossed his arms behind his back and made an outrageous demand. Ten pieces? Su Yu involuntarily rolled his eyes. No one knew the exact number of fragments of Hifans soul that existed, but it wouldnt exceed 200. And here was Thor asking for 10 of them offhand! At most 2 pieces. I can only manage to beg for 2 from the Princess. She may not be willing to give me more. Su Yu bargained back. Eight pieces, not one less. Alright, let me add one more to my offer. 3 pieces. Any more and Ill probably have to sell myself to the Princess. Seven pieces Following an intense round of bargaining, both parties finally settled the deal at the price of four soul fragments. If Hifan were still alive, one could only wonder what he would think of their haggling over his soul fragments. Once the terms were agreed upon, Thor transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed back to the Lai Yin Empire for the materials, while Su Yu made his way to Forest City to request the fragments from the Princess. The Princess agreed readily when she heard that Su Yu needed the fragments. However, she wasnt about to simply hand over the fragments to Su Yu without a price. Eventually, Su Yu managed to procure four soul fragments at a cost of 20 million spiritual energy coins each, spending a total of 80 million spiritual energy coins to bring the fragments back to his territory. When Su Yu returned to the Mage Tower, Thor had already been waiting there for a while. Su Yu disyed the five fragments to Thor, who in turn took out [Heart of a Fiery Thunder Dragon]. After both parties confirmed the items in their possession, Thor officially started his work. During the process of Thors enchantment, Su Yu, Alex and the others stood outside the tower, watching. The entire Mage Tower was enveloped by crackling arcs of electricity. Clouds shrouded the sky above, asionally giving way to shes of colossal lightning that were absorbed by the Mage Tower. Finally, after six hours of enchantment, the electric arcs, thunder, and lightning gradually subsided. Su Yu, why dont youe in and check? I have finished the enchantment. Thors deep voice sounded from within the Mage Tower. Very well! Su Yu had been eager for quite a while and immediately used a few [sh Skills] to rush into the tower. He quickly ascended the stairs to the third floor. In the center of the third-floor space, the newly enchanted Mana Pool appeared before Su Yu. Chapter 251: 251 Grandmaster Level Refined Mana Pool·Six-fold Trait Strengthening_1 Chapter 251: 251 Grandmaster Level Refined Mana PoolSix-fold Trait Strengthening_1 Trantor: 549690339 The original pool wall of the mana pool was silver-white with a hint of yellow-green. Now, after Thors enchantment, the color of the pool wall has turned into a mix of red and blue. The red area emitsva, and the blue area is attached with a few tiny electric arcs. Thor looked at Su Yu and smiled, The heart of the Abyssal me Storm Dragon and the material of the pool itself are very well matched, the overall enchantment was a great sess! This is probably the highest quality mana pool I have ever enchanted in my entire life! Hearing Thor say this, Su Yu hurriedly put his hand on the master control panel of the mana pool. The attributes of the pool immediately appeared before his eyes. [Master Level Refined Mana Pool Sixfold Special Enhancements] Quality: Legendary Total Mana Pool Capacity: 100 million Demonization Efficiency: 5516 Conversion Rate: 40.1% Output Efficiency: 5324 After Thors enchantment, the Demonization Efficiency and Output Efficiency of the mana pool increased from 3000+ to 5000+, and the Conversion Rate also increased from 22.5% to 40.1%! The overall attributes increased by 70%, reaching Legendary quality! The gap between Legendary and Rare is like heaven and earth. Using this mana pool, his speed of refining materials will increase significantly, and the increase in conversion rate can also save a lot of materials. It seems that Xi Fans death was worth it! Lord Thor, thank you foring all the way here to enchant. I am very satisfied with the attributes of the mana pool! Su Yu smiled and handed Xi Fans Soul Fragment to Thor. Thor epted the fragment and alsoughed, Youre wee, were just helping each other out. I have to go now, Anduin is still waiting for me. Nemesis, I hope well have the opportunity to meet again. After he finished speaking, he didnt wait for Su Yu to respond, and turned into a bolt of thunder, leaving the Mage Tower and heading west. Su Yu didnt pay attention to Thor. After Thor left, he turned to look at the mana pool, his eyes full of fervor. Next, he can start refining materials! Katie, we can start. Roger that, my lord. Katie saluted Su Yu and then began to set things up busily. Su Yu opened the guild channel and said a few words, and at the same time, sent a private message to Snow Leopard. In a short while, yers from his own guild and the Relevant Department guild came in groups carrying bags full of monster materials to the front of the Mage Tower and piled the materials on the ground. The [Slope Sheeps Horn] was the most abundant material among these materials, and the [Howling Moon Wolfs Sharp ws] were second, with misceneous other monster materials, both high and low-grade. The heap of monster materials gradually umted into a small hill. The reason why yers tossed the materials in front of the tower rather than taking them upstairs directly is that they didnt have the permission to enter the Mage Tower. In order to prevent being disturbed by others during the process of refining materials, now only he and little Katie are allowed to enter the Mage Tower. Katie is a fourth-level mage. Using the [Control Object System], she easily lifted the mountain of materials to the third floor and ced it next to the mana pool. Katie, first sort these materials by category. Su Yu instructed. Understood. Without asking why, Katie immediately started to categorize these materials, and put the same materials together. After Katie hadpleted sorting, Su Yu looked at the current state of the mana pool and ordered, Katie, put 150 [Slope Sheeps Horn], 50 [Forest Gray Bears Galldder], and 30 drops of [Blood of Crimson Python] into the mana pool. Refining monster materials is not just about dumping the materials into the mana pool like a big pot stew, it requires a certain pairing form. With different types ofbinations, the monster materials can be optimized to their fullest effect. Su Yu did not remember theplicated forms from his previous life as he didnt have a territory. But he did remember some forms for low-level materials, which could be put to use now. Okay! Katie nodded cutely and, following Su Yus instructions, sequentially threw the materials into the mana pool. At the same time, Su Yu officially activated the mana pool. Hum Apanied by a sound simr to aputer booting up, the magic array under Su Yu and Katies feet lit up with a hazy white light. Ding, Mana pool is activating Ding, the mana pool is automatically adapting to your physique and deeply binding with your soul. After the binding is sessful, this mana pool will be your exclusive mana pool. Your absorption efficiency of magic power in the mana pool will be X5. After binding, you cannot transfer this mana pool to other yers or NPCs for use. Do you want to bind? Bind! Ding, congrattions, the mana pool has been sessfully activated! Inside the mana pool, [Slope Sheeps Horn], [Forest Gray Bears Galldder] mixed with [Blood of Crimson Python], a bunch of materials like clothes in a washing machine, kept spinning, merging and rising. The pool distilled out arge amount of pure magic, which gathered around Su Yu under the constraints of the magic array. Su Yu hurriedly sat down cross-legged to absorb this magic. Not long ago he had absorbed the spiritual energy of the Spiritual Spring Eye and reached level 35. Now by absorbing this magic, his experience bar began to surge unprecedentedly! Ding, you gained 1000 experience points by absorbing the purified magic! Ding, you gained 1000 experience points by absorbing the purified magic! Ding, you gained 1000 experience points by absorbing the purified magic! Ding, you have reached level 36. Ding, you gained 1000 experience points by absorbing the purified magic! Not only Su Yu, but all the major guilds in the game, both the guild channels, the chat rooms, the offline official forums, and major social tforms were all closely watching Su Yus level. Su Yus leveling up isnt just about him, it concerns every yer in the game, and even the fate of all Blue Star Humans! yers opened the [Level Ranking] simultaneously, staring intently at the name [Nemesis] at the top of the list. Upon seeing [Nemesis]s level changed from 35 to 36, the yers, especially in the [Slope Sheep] and [Howling Moon Wolf] leveling areas, burst into cheers! The yers cheered and discussed loudly with those around them: Its moving! Its moving! Boss Ke has finally leveled up! It wasnt easy, Ive been waiting from the morning till now. I hope Boss Ke can level up quickly so we can gather materials with more motivation. How long do you think it will take for Boss Ke to reach level 50? I guess one week? I think its maximum four days. The news of Su Yus leveling up spread quickly offline, with numerous discussions on the official forum and various websites. Everyone was specting about how long it would take Su Yu to reach level 50. In the city center of East Sea City, the department branch. Because of work, Xue Wen Li could not enter the game, but she made a special light board disying Su Yus level and hung it in the most conspicuous ce of her office. Seeing the number 35 change to 36, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Chapter 252: 252, Promote to Level 3! _1 Chapter 252: Promote to Level 3! _1 Trantor: 549690339 For the following days, Su Yu stayed within the Mage Tower, absorbing the materials of magical beasts to increase his strength. Next to the Mana Pool, little Kathy diligently moved back and forth between the pool and the stack of material, following Su Yus instructions and throwing batches of material into the pool. As the pool refined the materials, an endless stream of purified mana gathered around Su Yu. One wave after another washed over him, rapidly elevating his strength. His game log also started in crazy scrolling mode: Ding, by absorbing purified mana, you gain 1000 Experience Points! Ding, by absorbing purified mana, you gain 1000 Experience Points! Ding, your level has reached 38. Ding, your level has reached 39. Ding, your level has reached 40. Finally, after refining materials for two and a half days, Su Yu sessfully reached level 50 and became a third-rank Mage! At the edge of the Mana Pool, Su Yus aura swelled, and the pale blue Mages robe he wore was torn into tiny cracks by the surge of mana. The power of the elements rapidly circted around his body, forming elemental halos. The elemental halos emitted colorful light and gradually rose from his body. When it rose to the position of his brain, the elemental halo merged into his brain, signifying Su Yus sessful breakthrough! After breaking through to be a third-rank Mage, Su Yu opened his eyes and nodded satisfyingly. ording to his original n, he would need about five days to ascend to the third rank. But with the significant improvement in the quality of the Mana Pool, his leveling speed increased dramatically. It took only two and a half days for Su Yu to achieve his goal of breaking through to the third rank, twice as fast as nned! It is indeed a legendary Mana Pool! Seeing Su Yus sessful breakthrough, Kathy also bounced over and congratted her lord: Lord, congrattions on your promotion to the third rank! Are you going to continue cultivating or take a break? Hmm lets take a break first. Su Yu thought for a while: But this break wont be too long. Kathy, continue preparing the materials. When Ie back, well continue cultivating. Right now, the materials Su Yu was using were zero and first-rank materials collected by the yers. He ns to save the high-ranking materials he received from the princess and Tina for when his level is higher. Understood! Kathy responded with a smile. After giving Kathy a few instructions, Su Yu left the game directly. The increase in his in-game strength would entirely sync to reality. But because his strength had increased so rapidly recently, his room was in a mess due to the uncontroble mana overflow. His bed was shattered into powder during the breakthrough, and the surrounding furniture, clothes cabs, and tables were all smashed by the mana surge. After Su Yu took off his helmet, he found that his bed hadpletely turned into a mix of wood chips and cloth pieces. He was lying in the debris of the bed as if he was lying in a pile of garbage. Su Yu smiled wryly, shook his head, stood up from the wreckage of his bed, and dusted off the debris on him. Knock, knock, knock! At this moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door of his living room. Su Yus front door was carved with a sensing magic array. Through the array, he immediately knew who was at the door. Su Yu used the sh Skill and instantly arrived at the door. He opened the door and smiled at the visitor: Oh, its Prime Minister Cao Cao, pleasee in! The visitor was Cao Cao himself, dressed in a ck silk robe and walked in with a smile. As he walked, he bowed to Su Yu: Su Yu, I sensed your level increase and came to congratte you, congrats! Regarding why Prime Minister Cao Cao appeared at Su Yus doorstep, it began when Su Yu took control of the Lingwu Mountains Spiritual Spring Eye. Su Yu lived in a 26-storymercial and residential building located on the west outskirts of East Sea City. Ever since Su Yu took control of the Spiritual Spring Eye, the relevant departments moved all the residents elsewhere. This was done both for Su Yus safety and the safety of the other residents. About 10 days ago, Prime Minister Cao Cao took the initiative to propose moving in and bing neighbors with Su Yu, along with Zhu Guorui. By living together, they could support each other and avoid identally injuring the public during cultivation. Su Yu agreed without much thought, and Prime Minister Cao Cao and Zhu Guorui moved in. Su Yu lived on the 9th floor, Prime Minister Cao Cao moved to the 26th floor, and Zhu Guorui moved to the 1st floor. Although they all lived in the same building, they lived fairly far apart. Mr. Zhu was not in the building today, only Prime Minister Cao Cao was. He sensed the magic fluctuations from Su Yus breakthrough and immediately came to congratte him. Upon entering the room, Prime Minister Cao Cao nced at the messy bed and eventually focused his gaze on the gaming helmet. He couldnt help but sigh: Its worthy of a game created by a high-level civilization. In less than a month, youve reached a strength that rivals a cultivator in the Formation Period. This would have virtually impossible in our era! Even in the era of Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa, I suppose very few could achieve that! Thats because Ive been fortunate to have everyones support. Su Yuughed and handed Prime Minister Cao Cao a cup of tea: In the game, hundreds of millions of yers are collecting materials for me. If I still level up slowly, it would be unreasonable. In your era, this situation of mine would probably be at the level of adored by masses and ascending to immortality, right? Haha, thats true. Prime Minister Cao Caoughed while stroking his beard, and took a sip of the tea. But as soon as the tea reached his mouth, his face became grim. The tea Su Yu had at home was just a random purchase from the downstairs supermarket, costing five or six dors per pound. For Cao Cao, who was ustomed to premium tea, the taste of this tea was astringent and barely ptable, even worse than drinking in water! Su Yu also noticed this and scratched his head in embarrassment: If the tea doesnt suit your taste, Prime Minister Cao Cao, should I switch to c? Thats all I have other than in water. No thanks. Prime Minister Cao Cao shook his head: Ive had c when it was first invented. It used to be cough medicine but lets not dwell on that. Prime Minister Cao Cao looked towards Su Yu: Su Yu, I came to see you mainly for three things. The first is to ask about your ns. Do you n to continue cultivating? Su Yu thought for a moment and replied: Yes, I n to continue cultivating. The next phase of the main storyline will start tomorrow, but I decided to cultivate for a while longer. After five or six days, when my strength has levelled up to the fourth rank, then Ill start the tasks. Fourth rank so thats the Nascent Soul Stage. Thats quick indeed! Prime Minister Cao Cao eximed. He nodded and continued: The second thing is that I noticed your strength is very unstable after your breakthrough. Mr. Zhu and I have recently catalyzed quite a few medicinal herbs using spiritual energy. We can use a medicinal bath to help consolidate your cultivation level. Really? Thank you very much! Su Yu gratefully said. Chapter 253: 253, Prime Minister Cao Cao transformed into a little fox_1 Chapter 253: Prime Minister Cao Cao transformed into a little fox_1 Trantor: 549690339 Su Yus strength was increasing too quickly, which might result in a shaky foundation and could affect his progression in thete stages. Su Yu had contemted this issue of building a solid foundation. He thought of the solution, it was the [Advanced Realm] under the Unicorn Trial Field within the game. Tina used to polish her foundation there. Now, Prime Minister Cao Cao had proposed another solution. Utilizing both might be a good idea. Prime Minister, whats the third thing? Su Yu asked. Prime Minister Cao Cao stroked his beard, saying slowly: The third thing is about Skru Star. I heard from Zhong Feng that you n to go to Skru Star after reaching the sixth level. Is there something you need? As he said this, his expression became more serious. Su Yu was taken aback. He did n to contact the Skru Game Supervisor after reaching the sixth level. He wanted the supervisor to use the interster portal to transport him to Skru Star. Out of trust, he had told Zhong Feng about this n not long ago, but he didnt expect Zhong Feng to tell Prime Minister Cao Cao. However, since Prime Minister Cao Cao already knew, there was no need for him to conceal it anymore. Su Yu candidly replied, Yes, that is indeed my n. Would you be able to take me and Mr. Zhu along? Prime Minister Cao Cao asked seriously. Su Yu: He looked at the Prime Minister seriously. The Prime Ministers eyes were very serious. He was not joking. This made Su Yu a bit reluctant: Well What, are you unwilling? No, its not that I dont want you to. But if you go, you could be easily exposed, Su Yu exined patiently: I could use the [Mimicry Skill] to disguise myself as a Skru and I can also speak theirnguage. If you go without a disguise, you might be identified within minutes. You dont have to worry about that. Prime Minister Cao Cao confidently chuckled: Both Mr. Zhu and I have some methods of disguise. You dont need to fret. Then, Prime Minister Cao Cao transformed. His figure vanished from the original spot. In its ce was a shiny brown-colored little fox. Owooo, the little fox that Prime Minister Cao Cao transformed into let out a few cute calls at him. Su Yu: Old Man, Subway, Cell Phone.jpg The strong-willed Boss Cao actually managed to turn into a cute little fox, the contrast was so huge that he could not ept it. Su Yu crouched down, trying tomunicate with the little fox: I understand what you are saying. Youre shouting The Great Chu rise, King Chen Sheng, right? Little Fox (Prime Minister Cao Cao): Afro Man Question Mark.jpg He took a closer look at the little fox. But for some indescribable reason, upon seeing its fluffy ears, he suddenly had the urge to stretch out his hand and touch them! Meanwhile, his hand moved uncontrobly towards the foxs ears. Prime Minister Cao Cao noticed Su Yus movements and quickly retreated a few steps. Then he transformed back into his human form, suspiciously looking at Su Yu: Youre not a fan of Orcs, are you? Haha, definitely not, how could that be? Su Yu promptly pulled back his arm, using a forcedughter to cover up his awkwardness. After an awkwardugh, he quickly changed the subject: Did Zhong Feng agree about the Snow Leopard? Of course he agreed. Prime Minister Cao Cao replied: I only asked you because he had agreed. Furthermore, well be separating when we arrive, so as not to be wiped out by the enemy in one fell swoop. Well okay then. Su Yu could only agree. If Prime Minister Cao Cao was so determined to go, then he might as well let him go. But Su Yu also warned: Prime Minister, you can go, but I rmend you restore your strength to the sixth level before you do. Going there at the fifth level is very risky, your chances of survival will definitely not exceed one in ten! And this is me being optimistic. Sixth level? So thats the Dividing Spirit Stage. The Prime Minister nodded silently. Prime Minister, to what extent have you and Mr. Zhu recovered your strength? Su Yu asked. Our Prime Minister Cao Cao answered: We have been absorbing spiritual energy from the spring eye in Yunlu Mountain these days. I just reached the Nascent Soul Stage, which corresponds to the fifth level in the game. It will likely take two more months to recover to the sixth stage. Two months? Sounds about right. Su Yu nodded. His original n was to raise his power to the sixth level within three months. Now that his Mana Pool quality has improved, it would probably take him about one and a half months to reach the sixth level, which was near the two months timeframe. Alright then, lets head to Skru Star together in two months! said Su Yu. However, I have to emphasize again, even for level six fighters, theres only a maximum survival rate of 70%. You need to be prepared for the sacrifice. Dont worry about that. There was a touch of indifference in Prime Minister Cao Caos eyes: We, who have been alive for thousands of years, have long since lived enough. We wont regret it even if we die there. If thats what you think, then alright. Su Yu sighed softly. After some insignificant chat, Prime Minister Cao Cao took his leave to prepare the medicinal bath for Su Yu on the 26th floor. Su Yu called Xue Wenli, asking her to send a set of new furniture to his ce. Then he connected his helmet to the power source next to the couch, and entered the game again. During the next five days, Su Yu remained in the Mage city in the game, burning materials to improve his power. In the real worlds 12-hour period outside of the game, he proceeded to visit Prime Minister Cao Cao at the 26th floor to strengthen his power with the medicinal bath when he wasnt sleeping. As a Mage, using a medicinal bath seemed rather uncharacteristic. But Prime Minister Cao Cao was using fortifying medicinal materials, and since spiritual energy is interconnected, the medicinal bath was especially effective on Su Yu! He tried it a few times and found the effects positive, so he stuck with it. During these five days, as the main storyline hadnt been triggered, nothing major happened in the game. The only significant event was that the guild from The Competent Department began developing their territory. After receiving the artifact from Su Yu, Snow Leopard immediately used it to earn 10 points, and then exchanged it for a territory near the sea in Pearl City. With Su Yus territory as a reference, Snow Leopards territory construction went smoothly. Its overall construction progress wasparable to that of Su Yus. The prosperity and livability always stayed above 90. Unfortunately, they did not have the [Yulon Statue] in their territory. Also, they couldnt possibly burn millions of spiritual energy coins a day like Su Yu, so it would take around two months to level up their territory to a citys scale. While there was peace in the game, there was peace in the forum too. Now, what the yers loved to do the most was asionally check the level leaderboard to see what Su Yus level was. If Su Yus level was higher than what they had expected, they would exim Boss Ke is awesome, but if Su Yu did not level up as expected, they would ponder Is Boss Ke cking off? Even a work donkey wouldnt rest like this. All in all, Su Yus level had be the most watched thing in the game. Chapter 254: 254, Promote to Level 4! _1 Chapter 254: Promote to Level 4! _1 Trantor: 549690339 On July 4, 21 yearster, also the fifth day after Su Yus promotion to the third rank. At two oclock that afternoon, gamers in the various leveling areas turned to look at the leaderboard, focusing their attention on the name in the top spot, [Nemesis]. The current second ce on the leaderboard was no longer [A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated]. After travelling to the Empire of Pandamen, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated missed many field campaigns, not receiving therge amount of experience points from the campaign rewards and consequently fell out of the top 100. In second ce on the list was [Snow Leopard], at level 27. Then came [Sky Dragon], level 26. [Ice Red Tea], level 26. [Delicious Butter Bread], level 26. The progress of the leading group was much faster than in the previous life, and they would soon reach the level cap of the first expansion level 29, then theyd save experience points to wait for the next version update. But Su Yu, in first ce, was on an entirely different level. Su Yu is now at level 59, and ording to the forum yers records, five hours have passed since he leveled up to 59. Based on time projection, he was about to advance again soon! Su Yus promotion has always been a focal point within the game, so amidst leveling and monster farming, yers would asionally nce at the leaderboard, anticipating another jump in that figure. Time passed by every second. Finally, at 2:06 in the afternoon, the number 59 suddenly jumped to 60. Ohhhhhh! Boss Ke is finally at level 60! Its been 5 days, 3 hours, 12 minutes and 29 seconds since Boss Ke reached level 50. Now I dere, Boss Ke has sessfully advanced again! Congrattions, Boss Ke! There were cheers in the various leveling areas. Su Yus sessful promotion was even more exciting than their own promotions! In Su Yus Mage Tower in Aphi city. Boom! Along with a muffled noise, Su Yus clothes, unable to withstand the pressure, were all torn apart by the st of magic power. When he advanced to the third rank five days ago, his clothes had already been ripped open by the magic power surge. This time, the magic power fluctuation of the breakthrough was even greater, causing all his equipment, except for the two legendary items, to bepletely destroyed as their durability hit zero. He was left stark naked. Ah! Upon seeing this, little loli Kathy immediately covered her eyes, turned her head away, and her little face turned beet red. Su Yu also blushed. Luckily, he was facing away from the little loli. If he had been facing her the consequences wouldve been unthinkable. He quickly pulled out a spare robe from his Space Ring and put it on, feeling a bit more secure. After advancing to the fourth rank, Su Yus current strength is close to that of his past life. In his previous life, Su Yu was a fourth-rank mage at level 64, but that was the result of six months of effort. In this life, it has taken him just over a month. Once he learns all the skills and collects a full set of fourth-rank equipment, his strength will even exceed that of his past life due to therge number of legendary skills and legendary equipment. This stirred quite a few sentiments in Su Yu. After his promotion, as was his habit, Su Yu first checked his attribute panel. His attribute panel now reads: Character: [Nemesis] Level: lv60 Profession: Mage Bloodline: [Star Bloodline (Legendary)] Attributes: Strength: 202, Agility: 224, Intelligence: 410, Constitution: 186, Luck: 10 Spell Strength: 510 Hit Points: 53045 Mana Points: 75450 Defense: 236 Spell Critical Hit Rate: 15% Speed: 10 Experience Points: 1356/210000 Fortune: 4614784698 spiritual energy coins Equipment: [Naya Hourss (Golden Legend)], [Advanced Schrs Badge (Golden Legend)], [Noblemans Lightweight Robe (Common)] Skills: [Magic Missile (Rank 0)], [Ice Arrow (Rank 0)] [Phoenixs me (Rank 2)]. Su Yus attributes have spanned many versions. When he was at the first rank, his HP was only a few hundred points, but now his bare HP is as high as 50,000! His speed has reached 10 points, the speed at which he can walk is faster than a normal person can run at full speed. Most notable of course, is the spiritual energy coins. Burning materials to increase strength is very fast, but the resources consumed are unimaginable. From second rank to fourth rank, he burned monster materials worth more than 60 million spiritual energy coins. The remaining two billion plus of monster material is either in the territory warehouse or in the warehouses of the relevant departments. However, ording to Su Yus estimates, if all the spiritual energy coins are converted into monster materials and burned,bined with the high-ranking materials obtained from the princess and Tina, it will probably be enough to burn him close to the peak of the sixth rank. At that time, all his spiritual energy coins will bepletely burned up, and he will have to find ways to make more money. Now that he has sessfully promoted, Su Yu decided not to continue burning materials to enhance his level. The third stage of the main plot is now open, it would be better toplete all the tasks from the third stage first! Seeing Su Yu got dressed, little loli Kathy turned her pitiful face and asked, Lord, you wont continue to practice, will you? In the past week, Kathy has been in charge of transporting, sorting, and throwing the materials into the mana pool as requested by Su Yu, without any rest at all. Even though she is a fourth-rank mage, she is exhausted and doesnt want to continue burning materials. Su Yu walked to Kathys side, gently rubbed her head, No need for now, Ill be going away for a while Kathy, thank you for your hard work during this time! No hardship. Kathy smiled, Lord, you have saved us, me and my father, from worrying about livelihood, and endowed us with such formidable power, I cant be thankful enough, how could I feel it hard? Very good, Su Yu nodded satisfactorily: Then how about we burn materials for another month before I leave. Kathys smile froze on her face. Just kidding, Su Yu rubbed Kathys head again, Im leaving now. Kathy, go to Swift and collect 100,000 spiritual energy coins as a reward for your hard work. 100,000?! Kathy was taken aback, Isnt that too much? Not at all, you deserve it, Su Yu smiled. After bidding farewell to Kathy, Su Yu summoned Dima and headed to the teleportation formation in the city center. After he advanced to the fourth rank, in fact, his speed was now much faster than Dimas, he could even fly in the sky for a short period. But considering Dimas days are limited, he might not see it after he advances to the fifth rank, and since he doesnt have much of a time constraint now, Su Yu decided to ride Dima a bit more. Walking down the citys main street, yers along the way saw his figure, their eyes lit up and they all greeted him. Su Yu also waved back at the yers. Dima trotted forward and finally stepped onto the teleportation formation leading to Orleans City. Chapter 255: 255, this is unfortunate touch _1 Chapter 255: this is unfortunate touch _1 Trantor: 549690339 For Su Yu, the seven and a half days he spent burning materials equate to almost three months in the game time. During these three months, Princess Alyssa had led the remaining army of 300,000 from Forest City to Orleans City and built many military defense facilities and fortresses based on Orleans City as a foundation. It was effortless for the Kalets rebels to capture Forest City. By now, the rebels have entirely upied 71.4% of the Empiresnd. But the rebels did not stop. After two weeks of rest and adjustment, their 700,000-strong army marched south with a grandiose n to annihte the royal remnants in one fell swoop, unifying the entire Empire. When Su Yu arrived in Orleans City, the rebel vanguard had already made it to the citys outskirts, and the rest of the rebel army was less than 30 kilometers away. The Empire was truly at a life and death moment now. Su Yu, riding on Dima, moved quickly on the wide streets of Orleans City. Dima was as spry as ever, running energetically even powerful horses on the street were no match for her. However, the mood of Orleans Citys residents was the pr opposite of Dimas vitality. Everyone on the street wore a heavy face, the atmosphere incredibly oppressive. Not long ago, Princess Alyssa led her army to Orleans City. The moment she entered the city gate, the princess implemented policies to increase taxes on the nobility and lower them formon people. She considerably reduced the financial threshold for entrance into the [Warrior Academy] and [Magic Academy], so children from regr families with outstanding abilities could receive a significant tilt in educational resources and a chance to be high-ranking fighters. These policies by the princess symbolized a phased victory for the masses demonstrations, and the whole of Orleans City was filled with joy at the time. Alyssa quickly gained the support of the people. But the brief joy was just a fleeting reprieve. Now, with Kalets rebel army at the city gates, under the threat of life and death, the city was filled with a solemn atmosphere, exactly like the expression of the residents when Goldfinch city was about to be captured. After observing the overall atmosphere of Orleans City, Su Yu shifted his attention back to himself. He began thinking about how he should n for his next move. After some time of thinking and analyzing, he summarized the three main things he needed to focus on next: First, consolidate his own strength, establish a solid foundation; Second, secure a set of fourth-rank gear for temporary transition; Third, figure out a way to get all the skill books of the third and fourth rank from his profession. About the first point to establish a firm foundation. Although Prime Minister Cao Cao had provided him with arge number of medicated baths to consolidate his strength, it was still inadequate for Su Yu, who had terrifyingly advanced across tworge realms in seven days. Su Yu nned to apply to Tina to enter the [Advanced Secret Realm] under the Unicorn Trial Field to thoroughly consolidate his foundation; As for the second point about equipment C The levels of the main questline reward equipment would match that of the yer whopleted the quest, so he didnt need to intentionally collect them, as hed obtain a full set of equipment naturally bypleting tasks. Now, on thest point about skill books. Su Yu has already collected all second-rank skill books now. All of them were rewards from two main quest lines. The second-rank skills for the Mage profession total twelve, they are: Fire System [Sequential Fireball (Ordinary)], [Phoenixs me (Excellent)], [mestrike Skill (Epic)]; Water system [Ice Lance (Ordinary)], [Summon Water Elemental (Excellent)], [Ice Barrier (Epic)]; Lightning system [Lightning st (Ordinary)], [Thunderstorm (Excellent)], [Sky Thunder (Epic)]; Earth System [Group Earth Spike Thrust (Ordinary)], [Summon Diamond Elemental (Excellent)], [Earthquake Skill (Epic)]. With all second-rank skills collected, he now has none of the third-rank skill books, and only one fourth-rank skill book gifted by a yer, [Dragon Breath Scroll]. He hopes that future main storylines will provide more skill scroll rewards! As Su Yu was pondering, Dima had already brought him to the entrance of the princesss pce. Whinny~ Dima turned her head and snorted softly at Su Yu, indicating that they had arrived at their destination. Oh Thanks, Dima. Su Yu gently stroked Dimas neck as he jumped down from her back and put her back into the horse medallion. At the entrance of the pce, Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess had been waiting here for a long time. Keledrons armor was a bit worn out, there were still some charred marks on his arms and thighs, and his facial expression had also be a lot more haggard. Upon seeing Su Yu, he ced his left hand on his chest and bowed respectfully towards Su Yu, Master Nemesis, Her Highness the Princess was aware that you would being these few days, so she instructed me to wait here to wee you. Ill lead you in now. Alright, lead the way. Su Yu let out a sigh and followed him. Keledrons fate was also very bumpy. During the Princess quest line 1-5, Su Yu even helped him send a message to his family in Forest City. However, his family didnt survive the great disaster in Forest City. His parents, wife, most of his children all died in that cmity, only his six-year-old son has survived, his life could be considered extremely bitter. But in the context of war, no one is fortunate. Su Yu didnt say anything, he just followed Keledron and kept moving forward. Ding, your main plot has been updated, [Goldfinch Empire (51/100)]. Task requirement: Meet with [Princess Alyssa] and [Tina Garcia], and participate in the pre-war discussion meeting. Task reward: 10000 experience points. Seeing this task reward, Su Yu couldnt help but remember the [Experience Crystal Stone] in his backpack. Because there were manyrge-scale battles in the second phase of Tinas quest line, he had umted a great amount of experience points in his crystal stone. The current properties of the crystal stone are: [Experience Crystal Stone (Special Item)]. Current experience storage: 50.246 million. Good gracious! If the experience points in the crystalline stone could be used, he is more than capable of advancing to the fifth order! But then again, considering the size of the crystal stone, just howrge is its volume? Thinking of this, Su Yu directly summoned the crystal stone. After the summoning was sessful, he immediately felt a heaviness in his palm. Apletely transparent cubic crystal with a side length of 30 centimeters appeared in his hand. Upon seeing this crystal, Su Yu was taken aback! He remembered that when the crystal first umted ten thousand experience points, it was only the size of an apple. Now that the experience storage volume has increased 5000 times, the volume of the crystal stone has also increased 5000 times in size! It is evenrger than a basketball! Keledron noticed the movement behind him, turned his head and looked towards Su Yu. Upon seeing therge transparent crystal in Su Yus hand, he couldnt help asking: Master Nemesis, this stone is quite beautiful, where did you get it? After speaking, Keledron reached out towards the crystal stone, wanting to feel the texture of this transparent stone. No! No! No! Su Yu got a fright and immediately put the crystal back into his backpack: You cant touch this, it will affect the Feng Shui of this ce. The experience points of the crystal stone can be used by any yer or NPC. If Keledron identally makes use of it, Su Yu would be devastated. Cant touch? Feng Shui? Keledron was confused, where did these wordse from? Enough with all that, you better lead the way. Su Yu urged. Alright. Keledron shook his head and continued to lead Su Yu towards the inner part of the pce. Chapter 256: 256. The Princess and Tina, Template Potion (Additional 2/3)_1 Chapter 256: 256. The Princess and Tina, Temte Potion (Additional 2/3)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Guided by Keerderon, Su Yu arrived at the grand hall of the Princess House. A significant meeting was being held inside the hall. Princess Alyssa sat on the throne, her gaze stern as she looked at the ministers below. Below the throne, ministers of all ranks and senior officers had all gathered. Tina, d in a golden silk armor, was also standing in the front row of the crowd. Upon Su Yus arrival, Alyssas eyes lit up. However, she did not halt the meeting but continued discussing military and policy-rted issues with the ministers. Tina also sensed Su Yus arrival through the aura around him, and she was slightly excited. However, she also didnt impulsively approach Su Yu but prioritized the meeting above all. Su Yu was not in a hurry either, he stood at the back of the crowd and listened patiently. The meetingsted for another 10 minutes. After the meeting ended, the ministers and officers filed out of the grand hall. A hint of warmth appeared in Alyssas eyes as she smiled at Su Yu: Nemesis, you are here! Hmm, I am here. Su Yu also smiled and bowed to the princess. But by this time, Tina could no longer suppress her growing excitement. She strode over to Su Yu, threw herself into his arms: Nemesis, youre finally back! We havent seen each other for three months! Tina held Su Yu tightly, her eyes glistening. Yes, its been three months. Did you miss me during this time? Su Yu gently patted Tinas back. Hmm. Tina blushed and nodded, then buried her face in Su Yus embrace. The ministers and senior officers who had not yet left the hall saw this and cast sidelong nces at Su Yu and Tina. In the military, Tina was a strict, fast-acting model. She always put on a stern face, she would not hesitate to punish anyone who made mistakes duringmand, and had earned the nickname cold-blooded female warrior. Yet, the cold-blooded female warrior had such a girlish side to her, what a surprise to everyone. However, they dared not look on for too long, after a brief nce, they swiftly shut the doors and exited the hall. If they attracted Tinas attention, she might assign them dangerousbat tasks next time, which would spell the end for them! Alyssa frowned upon seeing Tinas behavior, Tina, mind your image, everyone is watching! Alyssa greatly appreciated Tinas militarymand skills and had recently appointed her as the Empires Marshal, in charge of themand and dispatch of the war against the rebels. But she did not approve of Tina when it came to Nemesis. Alyssa had tried to dissuade Tina from pursuing Nemesis in private. Unexpectedly, Tina was very determined and did not back down! If Tina didnt back down, Alyssa naturally wouldnt either. With no other choice, the two had topromise and temporarily set aside their dispute, putting the nations affairs first. Now, Tina had suddenly thrown herself into Su Yus arms,pletely defying their agreement to put the dispute aside, and naturally, Alyssa had to strongly condemn this behavior. Tina knew she might have gone a bit overboard, so she stepped back from Su Yus embrace and apologized to Alyssa, My apologies, Your Highness. Nemesis is my best friend, so I couldnt help myself. Tina, we must prioritize our nations affairs, not focus solely on Nemesis, said Alyssa. However, at this moment, she noticed the fluctuations in Su Yus aura, she was suddenly taken aback: Nemesis, youve actually reached the fourth level? Advancing two levels in just three months? Hearing Alyssas words, Tina also sensed Su Yus power. After detecting Su Yus true strength, she poked Su Yus chest muscles with her finger, eximing, Its true! Nemesis, how did you level up so fast? You are almost catching up with me! Su Yu responded with a smile, Ive been diligently practicing these past three months, so leveling up quickly is expected. No, it is not normal, Tina shook her head with a smile. Unless you have as strong a talent for cultivation as me. I do have a strong talent for cultivation! I just havent shown it before, Su Yu shamelessly imed. Nevertheless, with your rapid advancement, your foundation must be unstable, right? Tina probed, Do you want me to open up ess to the Advanced Secret Realm for you, to solidify your foundation? Hmm, I was thinking something along those lines. Thanks for your help! Su Yu thanked. Nothing like my Tina, always understanding! No need for thanks, were friends! Tina smiled. At this moment, Alyssa descended from her throne and approached Su Yu, Nemesis, if you want to solidify your foundation, I can give you some Root potions from the national treasury. Root potion?!!!!!! Are you sure? Su Yu was overjoyed. The Root potion was world-renowned in the previous world! It also had another name, the Elite temte potion. Ordinary yers only had the standard temte, with bare attributesparable to normal monsters of the same level. But if a yer drank five Root potions, their temte would change to an Elite temte, causing their health points to explode fivefold, and other attributes would also increase significantly, bing simr to Elite Monsters. Calling it a divine potion wasnt an overstatement! Alyssa meant solidifying the foundation was but a trifling positive effect of the Root potion. Good old Alyssa so good to me! Seeing Alyssas face, all Su Yu wanted to do was rush forward and kiss her hard! But considering Alyssa was not even 15 years old, he had to abandon that idea. Alyssa, seeing Su Yu focusing his gaze on her, stole a triumphant nce at Tina. It seemed she had found a way to beat Tina! However, she would not just give Su Yu the potion for free because if it was given freely, Su Yu wouldnt cherish it. So, she said, A Root potion is a precious potion indeed, Nemesis. I wont give it to you for free. But if you can use your advantage as an interdimensional adventurer to help me gather important intelligence from the rebels base camp, I will give you the potion. After Alyssa spoke, Su Yu received a notice from the game: Ding, your main quest has been updated. Goldfinch Empire (51/100) Task requirement: Infiltrate the rebels base camp, gather critical intelligence ording to Princess Alyssas needs. Task reward: Root potion x1. Sure, Ill make sure toplete the task quickly! Su Yu said solemnly. But Su Yu wasnt in a hurry to start the task right away. He took this opportunity to understand the general situation of both sides in the war. So, he asked, By the way, Your Highness, what is the current situation of the war? Alyssa thought for a moment and then replied, The war situation is still grim. But it has improved a lotpared to when things were at their worst. Hearing this, the princess turned to look at Tina, We must thank Tina for that. Relying on her excellentmand, we have been victorious in many battles against the rebels, outnumbered multiple times. This has slightly improved the situation, but s When she reached this point, Alyssa sighed deeply. Chapter 257: 257, Spy on intelligence_1 Chapter 257: Spy on intelligence_1 Trantor: 549690339 Any difficulties that I can help with? Su Yu asked softly. Alyssa ran a hand through her hair with a haggard look, Not particrly difficult, just that there are now 300,000 troops gathered in the city, greatly exceeding the capacity of Orleans City. Food, arms, and supplies in every aspect have be scarce But let it be, Nemesis. Lets talk in detail after you gather the intel. Alright, Su Yu nodded. But you also need to take better care of yourself and not let the stress get the better of your health before the war even begins. Dont worry, I know what Im doing. Alyssa forced a smile. She then drew a brand new brown sheepskin scroll from the Space Ring on her index finger. As she unrolled it, a n of a camp was revealed, with several marked with tiny red dots. Alyssa looked at Su Yu and solemnly said, This is the map of the rebel camp, drawn by a risk-taker from another world known as Cang Shan You Jing. I marked some important locations on the map with red dots. Try to investigate these ces, it should yield quite a bit. No problem, Su Yu took the map from Alyssa. Is there anything else? he asked. If not, Ill start right away. Alyssa shook her head indicating no other instructions. Then Ill take my leave, Tina, Princess! Su Yu waved goodbye to both women. Nemesis, let me escort you, Tina suddenly proposed. Ugh, Alyssa coughed a couple of times, and her face fell, Tina, we have serious matters to discuss. Come with me to the meeting room at the back. Without waiting for Tinas response, she advanced towards the back of the great hall. Tina had no choice but to agree. She nced at Su Yu, pulled out a pale gold badge from her pocket, and stuffed it into his hand. As for you, Nemesis, I have to go. This badge represents my identity. Give it to Fiona, and she will activate the teleport formation to the [Advanced Secret Area] for you. Thank you Tina! Upon leaving the Princess House, Su Yu exhaled deeply. He could see that both Alyssa and Tina had feelings for him, even to the point of jealousy. But in all honesty, he did not harbor romantic feelings for either of them and simply regarded them as friends. Now, with the crisis on the Blue Star and the need to improve his strength on his mind, he didnt have the time or energy for a romantic rtionship with either of them. I must find the opportunity to exin my feelings to them. I dont need women. Women will only slow down my spellcasting speed. Su Yu thought to himself as he mounted Dima and rode away gradually. After Su Yus departure, inside the meeting room at the back of the hall, Alyssa sat at the head of the table, looking sternly at Tina. Tina, we agreed on putting our differences aside when ites to Nemesis. Why did you break our agreement? she asked. I just couldnt help it, Tina said, a little embarrassed. Okay, The princess waved her hand, Let me emphasize again: before we defeat the rebels, we must concentrate on the war and not be distracted by Nemesis. After the war, we willpete for Nemesis fairly. Fine, Tina sighed resignedly. Alyssa shook her head and changed the subject. By the way, Tina, how are the new weapons from Nemesiss territory? she asked. The ones brought by Veena ckgold? Tina set her thoughts on Nemesis aside temporarily. Yes, those, Alyssa confirmed. Well , Tina tapped her chin with her right index finger in thought and began, There are a total of 50 barrel rifled cannons in this batch of weapons. Together with the ones in our warehouse, we now have 300 barrel rifled cannons that can be very useful. Moreover, thetest firearms developed in Nemesiss territory have been mass-produced. This time, 100 barrel rifled guns, 70 shotguns, and 15 Gatling machine guns have been sent. I n to use these weapons at the most crucial moment of the war. Alright, Alyssa rubbed her aching temples, As long as you have got the battlefield in control, I will not interfere. It seems like the only thing we need to seriously tackle right now is the problem of resource shortage. But we can leave this to Nemesis The scene cuts back to Su Yus point of view. After leaving the Princess House, he hurriedly sets off on his mission. But as he infiltrated the rebel camp and began stealing intel from the locations marked with red dots on the map, he realized that the mission was quite simple. These missions were designed for yers at stage one, and Su Yu, who was at stage four, was still several hundreds of times stronger than an ordinary stage one yer even without his gear. Furthermore, he had the Invisibility Skill that wouldst for more than an hour, so he easily investigated several rooms marked with red dots and got several task items such as the [Sixth Armys Operation Order], [Night Hawk n], [Strategic Operation of The Atnte Command Room], and so on. After obtaining the task items, Su Yu didnt linger and returned to his territory directly with the Hearthstone, then he went to Orleans City through the teleport formation of the territory. In the Princess House of Orleans City. Nemesis, you did a great job! You got the intel so quickly! Alyssa was pleased as she skimmed through the task items Su Yu handed her. It was nothing, Su Yu replied. Alyssa ced the task items into her Space Ring, came down from the throne, and handed the Root Potion to him with utmost seriousness, Here, Nemesis, you deserve this! Thank you, Princess! Su Yu took it with a bow and quickly checked its attributes. [Root Potion (Consumable)] Effect of use: After drinking, your basic attributes will permanently increase slightly. Note: If you drink 5 bottles at once, your in-game character will upgrade to [Elite]. So, Princess, what should I do next? Su Yu was eager to get his hands on the next four bottles of Root Potion. Alyssa pondered, then said, I need you to deliver a letter to the Lord of Pearl City for me, and also solve some supply shortages for our army. Just as the princess finished her sentence, Su Yu received a game notification: Ding, your main storyline has been updated to [Goldfinch Empire (52-55)]. Task: Recruit 20,000 yers, deliver Princess Alyssas letter to the mayor of Pearl City, Michelle Dreyk, and bring back arge amount of supplies prepared by Michelle Dreyk. Task Reward: 1-4 bottles of [Root Potion]. The exact number of rewards depends on the taskpletion rate. Chapter 258: 258, Pearl City lord Michelle_1 Chapter 258: Pearl City lord Michelle_1 Trantor: 549690339 The main backdrop to the three-ring main story is that Orleans City can no longer support the consumption of 300,000 soldiers, acutelycking in military supplies, food, and other resources. The only ce that can provide supplies is Pearl City, located in the southeast of the Empire. But thend route between Orleans City and Pearl City is now blocked off by rebel forces, and the path by water is impeded by the mixed-warters of the Lai Yin Empire and the Wind Chime Empire. The cost of using the teleportation array is excessively high. In despair, the task of transporting supplies fell upon the yers. After all, yers are cheapbor, and the NPCs have found that if there is anything that need be done, the yers are willing to help for a bit of a reward, thus the NPCs prefer to have the yers help. Su Yu called out in the guild channel and chat president, quickly gathering two thousand people. Snow Leopard was absent, but The Range is The Truth and Red-Eyed ck Dragon came. Su Yu handed the management of the yers to these two. Everyone then used the yer-specific teleportation array to teleport directly to Pearl City. Upon arriving in Pearl City, everyone promptly mounted up and, with Su Yu in the lead, proceeded to the city lords manor in Pearl City in a grand manner. At the entrance to the city lords manor, Su Yu let everyone wait at the door, and went themselves to meet the city lord. Pearl City is undoubtedly the richest city in the entire Empire, with the interior decoration of the city lords residence being very luxurious. Walking in, there were sculptures made by the dwarf masters, magical fountains made by the elf craftsmen, Pandamenndscape calligraphy and paintings were everywhere in sight. Compared to the lord of Orleans City, ude, it was like night and day. Following the guard, Su Yu made his/her way deep into the city lords residence. Inside the meeting room at the very depth, Su Yu met the city lord of Pearl CityMichelle Drank. Michelle Drank is a half-elfdy, over eight hundred years old, but she still maintains the appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl, and her different pointed ears prove her half-elf identity. Su Yu had met with Michelle a few times before. Back in Forest City, Su Yu had helped Xi Fan to send letters to Michelle. Michelle was present during the time when Xi Fan seized power and murdered the king, so they can be considered as being quite familiar with each other. Of course, Michelle knows Su Yus position in the princesss mind, and this person could potentially be Prince in the future! So upon seeing Su Yu, she enthusiastically said, Your Excellency Nemesis, may I ask the purpose of your visit? Is it the princesss decision? Correct, the Princess asked me to deliver a letter to you. Su Yu answered, taking out the princesss handwritten letter from their backpack and handing it to Michelle. A letter from the princess? Michelle took the envelope, used a special spell to unlock the magic seal, and started reading the contents of the letter. But as she browsed the letter, the smile on her face quickly disappeared, reced by a particrly serious look. Su Yu took a sip of the tea, curiously asking, Lady Michelle, can you tell me the content of the letter? That Michelle nced at Su Yu. After a short thought, she nodded her head: If it was someone else, I definitely wouldnt tell them, but you based on yours and the princesss rtionship, telling you is okay. Michelle scanned around cautiously with her mental strength, and when she was sure no one was there, she said: The first half of the letter is about the transportation of supplies. The princess asked me to give the prepared supplies to you adventurers and for you to bring them back to Orleans City. Su Yu nodded: What about the second half? The second half is confidential. Michelle moved closer to Su Yus ear and lowered her voice: The princess ns to fight decisively with the rebels! A decisive battle? Yes, the princess ns to rely on the defense of Orleans City to fight decisively with the rebels and try to wipe out the high-ranking rebels and most of the rebels armies in one battle, thereby defeating the rebels. This Su Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Michelle continued: For this decisive battle, the princess asked me to go to the Elf Kingdom and invite the Regent King. The Regent King is a high-ranking Great Druid. With him, we can crush the rebels in terms of the strength of high-rankingbatants. Elf Regent King?! Su Yu was shocked: Arent the elves not allowed to interfere in human internal affairs? The Pandamen have an old saying, its one thing now and anotherter. Michelle shook her finger nonchntly: The rules are all set by people. Now that the Empire is on the verge of destruction, will we still care about these rules? That makes sense. Su Yu was relieved. Michelle smiled: Moreover, the Lord Guardian has a treasure of the elf race The Eternal Crown. The princess promised the Regent King that if they join the war, the crown will be returned to them. I think there is a very high chance that the Regent King will take part in this war. Nemesis, Im telling you all of this but you cannot tell anyone else! Dont worry, I promise I wont tell anyone else. Su Yu responded quickly. Thats good. Michelle stood up: Now I will take you to the warehouse in the south of the city to acquire these supplies, so that you can deliver the supplies back to Orleans City as soon as possible. We wouldnt want the princess to worry. Alright. Su Yu replied while standing up as well. Three minutester, Su Yu riding Dima, and Michelle on a white pure-bred horse,ughing and leaving the city lords manor together. On the surface, Su Yu wasughing and chatting with Michelle, but in his heart, he was constantly thinking about the matter she had just shared. He didnt quite understand why Michelle chose to share such important secret information with him? If what Michelle said is true, this matter would likely determine the oue of the entire war! Is it appropriate to disclose something this confidential to him? Even though he has a unique rtionship with the princess, with knowledge of a secret of this magnitude, the risk of leak increases. Somethings not right, somethings definitely off. Su Yu pondered in his mind, but he couldnt quite put the finger on what exactly was wrong. The yers at the entrance of the City Lords residence greeted Su Yu as he rode out. Boss Ke, youre finally out! It was so quick? Wow, such a beautiful half-elf! Prince Ke, you actually flirt with other women behind the princess? I dont care, I have screenshots, this is evidence of Boss Kes infidelity! Su Yu waved and ignored the yersments: Everyone, mount up. The supplies are in the warehouse in the south of the city, we will follow the city lord over there. Upon hearing Su Yus words, the yers finally realized that this young and beautiful half-elf was the city lord of Pearl City. But the purebred horse and Dima were quickly out of sight, and the yers hurriedly summoned their mounts to catch up. In arge warehouse in the south of the city, Michelle prepared supplies for Orleans City. There were wooden boxes of 1-2 cubic meters stored all over the warehouse, containing food, weapons, armor, daily necessities, and other supplies. After entering the warehouse, Michelle smiled at Su Yu: Nemesis, these twenty thousand wooden boxes are all the supplies Orleans City needs. So Im leaving this all up to you! Chapter 259: 259, Pearl City Lord, Traitor?_1 Chapter 259: Pearl City Lord, Traitor?_1 Trantor: 549690339 Hearing Michelles words, the yers stepped forward to take the wooden boxes. [The range is the truth], or Mr. Li, was at the forefront of the crowd. With his robust constitution at level 26, he effortlessly lifted arge wooden box nearly two cubic meters in size. The box should be filled with food, as the musty smell of wheat could be faintly detected through the gaps in the wooden panels. However, carrying such a big box would undoubtedly hinder movement, so Mr. Li attempted to put it into his backpack. With a light push, the wooden box easily fit into the backpack, upying only one slot. [Strategic Supplies Box (Quest Item)] Item Description: A wooden box filled with various military supplies. Hand the box over to the Quartermaster [d] at Orleans Citys General Defense Headquarters, coordinates (114, 514), to receive a generous reward. Note: The box is very heavy; yers carrying the box will be affected by the [Overburdened] negative effect. Mr. Li nced at his status bar and indeed noticed a new negative status. [Overburdened]: Your movement speed is decreased by 30%, riding speed is decreased by 15%, and you are unable to use the teleportation array. Duration N/A. Seeing this status effect, Mr. Li immediately understood. They were unable to use the teleportation array while carrying the boxes. In other words, they had to ride their mounts through the obstacles set up by the rebels to get back to Orleans City, right? Could a yer carry more than one box at a time? Mr. Li decided to try and reached for another box nearby. However, he soon received a game prompt: You cannot carry more military supply boxes. The attempt failed. Mr. Li stepped aside and made room for the other yers to take boxes. Meanwhile, he addressed Su Yu, who was standing at the back of the crowd: Boss Ke, after we take the boxes, we cant use the teleportation array to return. We must travel bynd. I thought of that already. Su Yu shrugged, If we could use the teleportation array, this quest would be too simple. This is a triple-mainline quest after all. How could they let usplete it so easily? Additionally, the reward for this triple-mainline quest was quite generous. Su Yu was awarded a divine potion C [Root Potion]; yers were rewarded 15,000 experience points, 200 spiritual energy coins, and a pet egg of random quality. If the quest could bepleted simply by using a teleportation array, it certainly wouldnt offer such a high reward. Mr. Li just nodded and didnt say anything, standing at the edge of the crowd and pondering over the quest. On their journey back to Orleans City with the quest items, they were bound to encounter ambushes from the rebels. What should they do to ensure they brought back as many supplies as possible? There were 20,000 boxes stored in the warehouse, just enough for one per yer. Once the yers had cleared out the warehouse, Su Yu said goodbye to Michelle who was standing nearby: Then, Madam City Lord, we will depart now. Goodbye, Nemesis. Dont forget toe and visit Pearl City if you get the chance! Michelle said goodbye to Su Yu with a smile. Of course, sure thing! Su Yu mounted his steed, leading the steamrolling mass of yers towards the West City Gate. However, as the group proceeded, Su Yu frowned, sensing that something seemed off! He was growing increasingly suspicious of Michelle, the City Lord. Su Yu had to make frequent trips to Pearl City during his process of establishing territory, and he had interacted with many merchants in Pearl City. He knew very well that the businesspeople in Pearl City had very strong merchant habits. Normally, for a transaction involving 20,000 boxes of supplies from Orleans City, all worth over 100 million in total, they would surely count the items carefully and write out a detailed invoice to be handed over to the princess. Although he didnt know whether the princess had paid a deposit, for such arge transaction, the merchants would definitely ask him to confirm the timeline for the final payment and thoroughly verify it before letting him go. But now there was none of that. Michelle hadnt discussed money, did not count the goods, and showed no concern about the final payment; this was not in line with Pearl Citys usual style at all! This deepened Su Yus suspicion. While pondering, Su Yu led the group on Dima at the forefront. Seeing Su Yu frowning in thought, Mr. Li, riding a [Red Raptor] mount beside him,ughed and asked, Boss Ke, are you also thinking about how toplete the quest? No. Su Yu replied. Mr. Li almost fell off his mount in surprise: Then what are you thinking about? Surely youre not pondering over what to have for lunch? Of course not. Su Yu twitched his lips, Im thinking about the City Lord of Pearl City Su Yu had great trust in Mr. Li. He did not hide anything and told him about his meeting with Michelle, the conversation between them, and anything amiss. After listening to Su Yus recount, Mr. Li stroked his chin and said, I see. Indeed, its not easy to make a judgement on this matter, as we currently have too little information. These meager pieces of evidence are not enough to determine whether the City Lord of Pearl City has a problem. However Mr. Lis voice trailed off, But this should be easy for you to solve, Boss Ke. Hmm? What do you mean? Su Yu was puzzled. Mr. Li looked around and then lowered his voice, Boss Ke, dont you have the ability to foresee the future? Su Yu: Uh .. Mr. Li: Just predict the future and see if the City Lord of Pearl City is still Michelle after the first expansion pack. Wouldnt that work? If she is still the City Lord by then, then she definitely did not betray the princess; On the other hand, if she is not the City Lord, either she betrayed the princess, or she died on the battlefield. The likelihood of someone of her level dying on the battlefield is very low, so she is highly likely to have betrayed the princess. Right! Why didnt I think of that? Su Yu smacked his thigh, eyes shining brightly. Although Mr. Lis method did not offer 100% certainty, it was still beneficial as reference! Su Yu quickly recalled Pearl Citys condition in his past life. The City Lord of Pearl City in his past life was not Michelle Drank, nor was it an heir of the Drank family, but rather a member of the Royal Family named Ralpha Goldfinch. Su Yu had a deep impression of Lord Ralpha. He often posed as a wandering bard and sang in various pubs. Because of his handsome looks, he had ambiguous rtionships with many women, and once was caught in apromising position by his wife and chased naked abound the streets Since Lord Ralpha was a member of the Royal Family, it meant that Pearl City fell under direct control of the Royal Family after the first expansion pack. The Drank family had lost their main base, so it seemed very likely that Michelle was a traitor! Thoughtfully stroking his chin, Su Yu realized that he would have to exin this situation clearly to Alyssa as soon as they returned to Orleans City! Chapter 260: 260, This is too much of a bug, right! _1 Chapter 260: This is too much of a bug, right! _1 Trantor: 549690339 Thanks a lot, Mr. Li! Without your reminder, I wouldnt have thought of this. Su Yu expressed his gratitude. No problem, no problem. Mr. Li waved his hand with a smile, Since the issue has been resolved, shall we discuss the following task? Sure, any good ideas? Su Yu asked. I think Mr. Li pondered while speaking, we better scatter and each do our part to transfer the supplies back since the enemy side has many more yers than we do. Quite a number of yers from Mr. Lis [Rted Department] guild have joined the rebel side. Based on these yers messages posted on the guild channel, the rebels have recruited a total of 30,000 yers, which is 50% more than their side. Mr. Li copied down the rted information from the guild channel and forwarded it to Su Yu. Then he said, Despite our side having superior equipment, there are a total of 30,000 yers on the rebel side. Add some regr forces who join the mission, I think we better scatter and avoid direct confrontation. The more scattered we are, the harder it is for the enemy to capture us all at once, thus, we could deliver more supplies back. Su Yu read over the private chat info sent by Mr. Li and nodded, Scattering is indeed a good idea, but Mr. Li, I dont intend to adopt it. I n that all yers get together and go all the way through as one! The scatter tactic Mr. Li proposed is indeed a good idea, but it has a major w C the taskpletion rate certainly wont be very high, it might barely reach passable. With a low taskpletion rate, Su Yu wont be able to get all four bottles of the [Root Potion], which is something he couldnt tolerate. In order to get all the potions, he must bring out some of his real trump cards! All yers acting as a united front?! Mr. Li widened his eyes, his voice rising eight octaves: Are you insane? There are 30,000 yers on the other side! Plus, some regr forces. We would definitely be annihted in a head-on charge! No worries, I got our back. Su Yu confidently smiled. You? Mr. Li looked Su Yu up and down: Well, Boss Ke, I admit youre very powerful and a level four gamer. But do you really think you can make up for the gap of 10,000 yers and some regr forces? Mr. Li was suddenly worried, could it be that Boss Ke was overly confident because things have been going too smoothly since he started this game? However, Su Yu was filled with confidence: Dont worry! The regr forces dispatched by the rebels definitely wont have any level five or above yers, and the chance of level four appearing is also very low, probably only two or so. As long as the rebels dont have too many over level four, we will surely win! But theres only you whos level four, as the old saying goes one fist is not invincible Who said Im the only level four? Su Yu countered. Then he opened the private chat and sent a message to Swift. Ten minutester, at the entrance of Pearl Citys West City Gate, a blue [Teleportation Portal] suddenly appeared. Immediately, little loli Kathy, and her father Moke, came out from the portal. Not only Kathy and Moke, a dozen or more figures also stepped out the portal. Everyone was a level four gamer! Honorable lord! These over dozen level four gamers kneeled on one knee and bowed to Su Yu simultaneously. These gamers are talents from Su Yus territory, including Kathy and his daughter, totaling thirteen rare quality talents, and two epic quality talents. Most of these talents were obtained by little loli Sky Dragon at the [Tavern], and some were forcefully upgraded to rare quality by Su Yu using the [Glory of the City Defender] ornament. After Su Yus territory got promoted to [City], the highest level of talents in the territory can be leveled up to four. They have been fighting in the wilderness, so Mr. Li didnt know about their existence. Seeing a row of strong men who bowed down to Su Yu, feeling the terrifying energy fluctuations emanated from those strong men, all yers, including Mr. Li, were shocked. Holy cow! This is so cool! A row of level four gamers! a yer named [Tsukihime is My Wife] eximed. Boss Ke, can the talents from your territory also participate in this task? another yer named [Horse Girl] asked. Su Yu smiled and answered: Of course, the talents in yer territories are also a part of yer strengths. If it werent for the restriction that Kathys portal cant teleport that many people, I could even bring the troops from my territory over here! This Isnt this too disruptive for the game bnce? Mr. Li looked at the more than dozen level four gamers and didnt know what to say. Red-Eyed ck Dragon added, Disruptive for game bnce? This is simply a bug! Boss Kes team could probably defeat tens of thousands of yers. Really feel sorry for the rebels, running into such a huge boss like Boss Ke. Su Yu just smiled. Actually, what Red-Eyed ck Dragon said was correct. Su Yu leading such a team of level four talents to participate in a task is equivalent to a bug. This situation was not supposed to happen. Usually, gamers will only get their territories after the second expansion pack. (Su Yu got that Unicorn ornament from Tina, because hepleted the task with a very high score and reached a high degree of favorability, normal gamers wont get this high-value reward.) And for gamers, building their territories to a [City] stage will possibly be done by the end of the third expansion pack. By then, gamers highest level would already have reached the peak of level three. Its quite normal for a few level four talents to exist in territory, wont affect the game bnce much. But who knew that Su Yus existence wouldpletely disrupt this bnce. Su Yu obtained his territory, [Yulon Idol], [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] through unconventional means, and moreover, he could burn ten million spiritual energy coins daily, which eventually led him to far surpass other yers of several versions. His territory has already reached the [City] stage, bringing out 15 level four talents to do the mission of the first expansion pack is indeed a bug! Whats more frightening is C Su Yu hasnt fully made use of this advantage. If Su Yus territory mainly researched military technology, by now, his territory should be able to mass-produce airnes, tanks, and even missiles! In that case, the whole main storyline would undergo a huge change due to Su Yus territory, that would be a real bug! Mr. Li, with these talents from my territory, we should have no problem in a direct confrontation, right? Su Yu smiled at Mr. Li standing next to him. Hehe, Mr. Liughed a dryugh: More than no problem, if your people get onto the battlefield, we probably wont even need to take part, just cheer from the back would do. Then its settled. Su Yu turned to all the yers behind him: Everyone, its gettingte, lets move out! Roger that, Boss Ke! Understood, Boss Ke! The yers on the scene were filled with supreme confidence and followed Su Yu marching towards the road to the west. Chapter 261: 261、SSS level rating_1 Chapter 261: 261SSS level rating_1 Trantor: 549690339 This time, the main storyline campaign involved 50,000 yers, which was thergest event in history! Before long, the details of the campaign and the situation of both sides began to circte on the official forum. Once it was learned that Su Yu had brought 15 fourth-rank hired guns to the task, a significant shockwave surged through the forum: Thats too cheaty! 15 fourth-ranks? Theres no way the yers can break their defense?! This move, this move is a knockdown. Attention all rebel yers! Boss Ke ising! Everybody quickly withdraw from the task, its no shame in losing against Boss Ke. Upon seeing the news, yers on the rebel side were rendered speechless. Theyre bullying us, right? 15 fourth-ranks? How are we supposed to fight this? Furthermore, the actual situation of the entire campaign was just like what Su Yu predicted: The rebels did dispatch some NPC regr troops to join the campaign. However, those regr troops only amounted to 1,000 people, the Kilofucha who led them was merely a second-rank peak warrior, the whole army didnt even have a single third-rank mighty one. Therefore, under the mutual cooperation of 15 fourth-rank mighty ones, the imperial sides troops mowed down everything in their path, crushing every battlefield they passed. [At the Sardin bottom], [Jade outpost], [Danja forest], [Algae City] Every checkpoint crumbled like paper, one after another, stormed by the yers on the Empire side. In all the different battles, the front lines were held by tanking sses such as Moke the [defensive warrior]and Gran the [defensive Pdin]to draw enemy fire; Archers like Mi Ge and mages like Kathy, and other long-range sses, were raining down firepower, casting waves of AoE at enemy troops from the rear; The priest Emily was uninterrupted in casting healing spells, refilling the health of any near-death yers constantly. The attacks of the rebel yers on Moke and Gran resulted in forcibly taken blood, only -1, -1, even less than the blood they recovered naturally. Under the repeated high-rank AoE, the rebel yers were retreating endlessly. One by one, they wereining in the temporary chat rooms they had set up: Is this game still yable for people? With those 15 high-ranking blocking us, we cant get close to the Empires yers! Just by the arrival of Boss Ke changes the vor of the task. Boss Ke used to do solo action before, now he brought a dozen high-ranking underlings, its getting more and more unyable. Ah, what bad luck to have bumped into Boss Ke! Lets just withdraw, dont waste anymore time. Ding, yer [Here for a 50 floors house] withdrew from the campaign. Ding, yer [Why are you chasing me] withdrew from the campaign. Ding, yer [The Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika from Japan] withdrew from the campaign. Rebel yers withdrew from the campaign inrge numbers, while the yers on the Imperial side remainedrgely intact under the protection of the 15 fourth-rank mighty ones. When the team had advanced all the way to the base of Orleans City in 6 hours, the survival rate of the entire team stood at a high of 90%! Standing under the towering walls of Orleans City, Su Yu also received a game notification: Ding, Congrattions onpleting this scene campaign, your mission score is being calcted The mission score has been determined, your score for this scene campaign is SSS. You have received a mission reward: [Root potion]X4; Extra reward:? Please go to [Princess Alyssa] to collect it. Upon receiving the system prompt, a round of cheering broke out among the Imperial yers. The rewards yers received were different from the ones Su Yu received. The grade of this campaign was SSS, making their experience points and spiritual energy coins grow by 50% throughout the campaign. In addition to that, they also received an extra piece of random blue and green equipment that matched their upation. This was an unexpected reward, and the yers were overjoyed. Mr. Li was feeling ted. He looked at Su Yu beside him, Boss Ke, your fourth-rank underlings are incredible! Can theye and help when we have creatures attacking our territory in the future? Of course, just let me know when you need it, Su Yu replied. Then he said to all yers, Everyone, dont forget toe to me and finish your tasks! Overdue tasks will not be epted. In therge-scale battle just now, Su Yu used his power as a princess to issue side tasks worth a total of 6000 experience points to the yers.(Its not that Su Yu didnt want to issue more, but that was the limit.) Now it was the season of harvesting experience again. Sure, Boss Ke! Everyone answered in unison and skillfully came to Su Yu to finish their tasks. The number of [Experience Crystal Stones] in Su Yus backpack was also rising rapidly. After all yers had finished their tasks, this number rose from 50.25 million to 52.05 million, an increase of a full 1.80 million experience points! Looking at this full, nearly spilling out amount of experience, Su Yu was somehow worried. What should he do with so much experience? Su Yu himself definitely wouldnt need it as his level was always far exceeding the current game version, so there was no way he was going to use these experience points on himself. He could give it to other yers, but that wouldnt be advantageous at this stage. It would be better to wait until theter stages of the game when yers dont have any means to gain experience, then the cost-effectiveness would be the highest. Beyond that, another choice would be to level up his pet Howling Moon Wolf, Big White. Big White was a first-rank pet, stuck at the peak of the first-rank. If he used these experience points on it, it could break through its current rank and reach the third or fourth-rank. But Big White did not have a very good initial foundation, so raising him might not be the best deal. If he really wanted to raise a pet, he might as well wait until he reached the sixth rank and then woo a female dragon with great potential in Dragon Ind. That would be a more suitable way to use his experience points. In conclusion, Su Yu decided to keep those experience points and wait until he needed them to use. After the yers had finished their tasks, Su Yu waved a farewell to them and went to find the beloved Princess Alyssa to finish his task. As for the 15 fourth-rank mighty ones in his territory, he ordered the little loli Kathy to take them back to the territory. In the great hall of the pce, Su Yu met with Princess Alyssa sessfully. At this moment, besides Alyssa there was Tina too in the pce. Upon hearing that Su Yu had sessfullypleted his mission, bring back 18,000 boxes of supplies, both Alyssa and Tinas faces expressed extreme surprise. Tinas eyes sparkled with small stars: Nemesis, youre doing too well! 18,000 boxes of supplies! Thats way more than expected! Alyssa also praised: Indeed! If you could bring back one-third, about 7,000 boxes of supplies, it would already ease our stress. But 18,000 we wont be short of supplies for quite a long time! The princess stood up and walked towards Su Yu with a radiant smile in her eyes. She took a beautifully packaged wooden box out from her Space Ring and handed it to Su Yu: Nemesis, this is your reward for this mission, four pieces of [Root potion], I hope you could get your foundation solid, and be a high-rank mighty one soon! Chapter 262: 262, Princess Offering a Kiss_1 Chapter 262: Princess Offering a Kiss_1 Trantor: 549690339 Thank you, Your Highness! Su Yu gratefully epted the potions box. ording to records from his previous life, the number of yers who had enough of the [Root Potion] amongst the billions across all servers worldwide, to upgrade was fewer than 10,000, less than a hundredth of a percent. He never thought he would get his hands on this miracle potion so easily! He carefully stowed the potion into his backpack. But then, something urred to him, Your Highness, given how well Ive done, is there an extra reward? If he recalled correctly, the game notification he had just received had mentioned an extra reward marked as ? in addition to the 4 bottles of [Root Potion]. He had no idea what this reward was supposed to be. An extra reward? Alyssa was taken aback. She hadnt considered giving Su Yu anything extra. But her eyes twinkled and a slight smile yed at the corners of her mouth. Alyssa stepped towards Su Yu and stopped mere inches away. Then, she looked up at Su Yus face and said in a soft voice, Close your eyes. Okay. Without overthinking, Su Yuplied. Alyssa closed her eyes too, stood on her toes, reached towards Su Yus neck with her arms, and leaned in for a kiss. At the very moment when their lips were about 8 inches apart, a golden light shed and a mighty force knocked Su Yu backward. Your Highness!!! Tinas angry voice echoed from beside the throne. Her golden fury roiled and began to turn ck, Didnt we agree to put our conflicts on hold and focus on the war? Or were you just joking? This was tant favoritism! Unfazed, the princess winked at Tina, Sure, we did agree to put our conflicts on hold, but since you couldntst time, isnt it fair that I get my turn? Tinas fury momentarily faltered. At this, the corners of Su Yus mouth twitched involuntarily. Although Tina had flung him using her anger, she had been careful not to harm him. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, he quickly changed the subject,Lets focus on the issue at hand! I made some significant findings in Pearl City that can influence the oue of our war! Oh? What did you find? Alyssa and Tina stopped their hostile exchange and turned towards Su Yu. Pressure removal style=margin-right: 5px;, based on my prediction, could very likely betray us! Su Yus expression turned grave. Following that, he detailed everything he had observed in Pearl City and the potential fate of the city. Alyssa and Tina did not interrupt, listening intently to Su Yus ount. After listening to Su Yu, Alyssa looked grave,From what youve said, Michelle might indeed join the rebel forces. If she betrays us, it would spell big trouble! She turned towards Su Yu, Nemesis, thank you for sharing this intelligence. Youre wee. Its the least I could do, Su Yu waved his hand dismissively. Ill have a discussion with the ministers and then decide how to act next. As she was saying this, Alyssa fetched a scorching scroll from her Space Ring,Nemesis, as a token of gratitude for bringing back such crucial information, consider this your extra reward. Thank you, Your Highness! Su Yu took the scroll and inspected its characteristics. [Fire Magic Proficiency (Beginner)] Passive skill Fire spell power +10% Fire spell critical hit rate +5% Fire spell range +8% Proficiency: (0/1000) Note: Proficiency +1 when strike using a fire spell to a target no less than 10 levels below you. All the third-tier skills for all sses in [Evolution] are passive skills. For instance, Mages have 12 third-tier skills, including [Four-series Magic Proficiency], [Four-series Magic Affinity], and [Four-series Magic Resistance]. Moreover, these 12 passive skills all have a Proficiency system; casting spells on creatures with approximately the same level increases proficiency. Proficiency is categorized into four levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and Master Level. Beginner improves to Intermediate at 1,000 proficiency points; Intermediate upgrades to Advanced at 10,000 proficiency points; Advanced enhances to Master Level at 100,000 proficiency points. These passive skill scrolls are rare as it is, and each skill requires tons of time to level up, hence yers typically favor specializing in one and supplementing it with another. Its very rare for yers to specialize in all four simultaneously. After acquiring the skill scroll, Su Yu said farewell to the princess and Tina and left the pce. At the pce gate, he clicked and learned the scroll right away. The scroll turned to ash in his hand and a warm surge of energy flowed from his fingertips to his brain. Instantaneously, Su Yu felt a deeper understanding of fire spells. Moreover, Su Yu also tried to upgrade this spell using [Point Star Hand]. After using [Point Star Hand] on the spell, Su Yu received a game notification: Ding, spend 10 spiritual energy coins to purchase 1 proficiency point? You can decide exactly how many you want to buy. Surprised, Su Yu hadnt expected that upgrading passive skills with [Point Star Hand] would require purchasing proficiency points. However, to upgrade from beginner to intermediate only requires 1,000 proficiency points, which is equal to 10,000 spiritual energy coins. This amount was trivial to Su Yu. He promptly chose to buy. Ding, purchase 1,000 proficiency points for 10,000 spiritual energy coins? Confirm purchase? Yes. Ding, sessful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Beginner)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)]. [Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)] Passive skill Fire spell power +20% Fire spell critical hit rate +10% Fire spell range +16% Proficiency: (0/10,000) After the sessful upgrade, the attributes of the passive skill doubled! With determination, Su Yu continued to buy proficiency points. Ding, purchase 10,000 proficiency points for 100,000 spiritual energy coins? Confirm purchase? Yes. Ding, sessful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Intermediate)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Advanced)]. Ding, purchase 100,000 proficiency points. Ding, sessful purchase. Your [Fire Magic Proficiency (Advanced)] has upgraded to [Fire Magic Proficiency (Master Level)]. You have upgraded the skill [Fire Magic Proficiency] to its highest level. Would you like to unlock the additional skill [Fire Phoenix Descends]? Chapter 263: 263, Solo Run [Advanced Secret Realm], Drinking [Root Potion] (Update 3/3)_1 Chapter 263: Solo Run [Advanced Secret Realm], Drinking [Root Potion] (Update 3/3)_1 Trantor: 549690339 Its actually [Fire Phoenix Descends]?! Excitement welled up in Su Yus heart. Every yer would unlock a super strong skill after their first passive skill of any series is raised to Master Level. However, the skills unlocked by each yer were all different. Take the fire series for example: some yers unlocked the wide-range continuous damage spell C [Wildfire], some unlocked the single target continuous damage spell C [Eternal Burn], and some even managed to unlock defensive spells like [Sunshield] Statistics showed that there were a total of 17 powerful skills that could be unlocked in the fire series, and yers could randomly acquire one of them. The [Fire Phoenix Descends] that Su Yu unlocked was in the top tier among these 17, constituting a wide-ranging, instant-damage spell. [Fire Phoenix Descends (Exclusive Special Skill)]: Summons a Fire Phoenix aiming at the target area, causing high fire damage to all targets 50 meters from where the Fire Phoenixnds. Casting range 3000 meters, casting time 3 seconds, cooldown time 24 hours. The damage of [Fire Phoenix Descends] was extremely fearsome! Even average yers could wipe out arge number of monsters at their level in an instant, covering a superrge area, a radius of up to 50m! However, there was one disadvantage to this skill, that the cooldown time was as long as 24 hours. But Su Yu was still very satisfied with this skill. When he reached the Sixth Order and moved towards Skru Star, he would also have a wide range of lethal methods on hand. Returning to the main storyline. In the main storyline, because the princess had to discuss war ns with the ministers, the next step of Su Yus task would not start until 2 hourster. Taking advantage of this two-hour gap, Su Yu nned to go to the [High-level Secret Realm] to polish his foundations first, then use the [Root Potion]. After making the decision, Su Yu rode on Dima, speeding towards the unicorn camp in the north. Ten minutester, in the unicorn camp. Su Yu met Fiona, the acting leader of the Knights who was left behind. Su Yu showed Fiona Tinas badge and exined his purpose, and Fiona readily opened the [High-level Secret Realm] for Su Yu. Through the blue portal, he sessfully entered the [High-level Secret Realm]. The [High-level Secret Realm] was full of about Third Order monsters, so even without his gear on, Su Yu found it pretty easy to farm. After every wave of void monsters he killed off, Su Yu would sit cross-legged and absorb the energy these void monsters released, and the mana in his body gradually solidified under the impact of Void Energy. But as he continued to farm, he felt this way of killing monsters was rather slow. Remembering his newly learned skill, [Fire Phoenix Descends], he quickly made a bold decision: he nned to gather all the monsters in the whole secret realm and wipe them out in one go! Once the decision was made, Su Yu immediately started racing around the secret realm. Every small boss he passed on the way C the [Soulbound Prophet], the [Void Colossus], and the [Spellbreaker Mask] C started chasing him the moment he entered their hostile range. With the addition of all kinds of little void monsters he came across on his way, eventually all the monsters in the secret realm were happily gathered behind Su Yu, being led deeper into the dungeon. Moreover, Su Yu expertly kept a safe distance from the monsters, not letting any one of themg behind, nor allowing any remote attacks to hurt him. Finally, after circling around quite a bit, Su Yu led the army of monsters to the final boss, the Eye of the VoidViciz. Viciz was a Cthulhu-like creature with an eyeball shape and a body covered with tentacles. Seeing Su Yus arrival, it discharged a thick, purple sma beam from its big eye apanied by a zzz sound. This was its ultimate move C the [Life Form Disintegration Beam]. Su Yu confidently executed a sh move and immediately appeared behind Viciz, avoiding its sma beam attack. Viciz found it difficult to turn around while releasing his ultimate move. By the time it halted its ultimate and turned to face Su Yu, three mini bosses had already brought all the minions from the Mystery Realm onto Vicizs field. A smirk appeared at the corner of Su Yus mouth. [Fire Phoenix Descends]! He decisively unleashed his new spell. With Su Yus incantation, a giant fiery six-pointed star magic circle with a diameter of about 20 meters quickly appeared above his head. Within the circle, a phoenix, formed of mes, gradually took shape. ng, ng! The fiery phoenix let out a loud, proud cry as it dove like an arrow loosed from its string, down towards the bosss field. Boom! The fiery phoenix hit the ground, causing an endless surge of mes to spread out. Above every creature within a 50-meter radius, damage numbers of 200,000+ and 300,000+ appeared. All beings, including [Eye of the VoidViciz] and the three mini bosses, were burnt to ashes in an instant. Seeing the extraordinary damage caused by [Fire Phoenix Descends], Su Yu nodded in satisfaction: This ability is really great! I can try it on the Skuru in the future The only pity is that the cooldown time is a bit long. It would be better if the cooldown time was shorter. After the death of a huge number of creatures including the boss, a great amount of void energy overflowed from their bodies. Su Yu quickly sat down cross-legged, absorbing this energy. As the void energy washed over him again and again, Su Yu felt the magic in his body bing denser and denser. By observing his status panel, after about 5 minutes of absorption, his original 53,045 health dropped to 49,236, and his 75,450 mana dropped to 58,985. The decrease in attributes indicated that his foundation was solidifying, just like removing the foam from a beer ss so that more beer can be filled in. After five minutes, the void energypletely dissipated, and Su Yu opened his eyes, taking a deep breath. After personally experiencing it, he found that the effect of this [Advanced Mystery Realm] was excellent! Plus, there was still room for the mana in his body to continue beingpressed and solidified. So after leaving the [Advanced Mystery Realm], Su Yu simply took two more rounds in the realm, suppressing his mana to its lowest point, 53,680, before reluctantly leaving the mystery area. After leaving the mystery realm, he used the [Hearthstone] to return to his territory. Once he arrived in his territory, he hurried to the Mage Tower. Next to the mana pool on the third floor of the Mage Tower. This time, little Kathy was not around, so Su Yu dumped the selected monster materials into the mana pool himself. This time it wasnt the low-level materials collected by the yers, but the fifth-order material [Beak of the Magic Cloud Bird] he received from Tina, along with some valuable adjuvants he had purchased from Pearl City. Buzz The mana pool began to operate, a dim white light lit up beneath Su Yus feet from the magic circle, and the [Beak of the Magic Cloud Bird] rapidly converted into a vast amount of purified magical power under the pools processing, enveloping Su Yu. The [Magic Cloud Bird] is a special type of Warcraft, its unique Fusion attribute facilitates the absorption of medicine. Drinking [Root potion] while surrounded by the magic power of the Magic Cloud Bird would definitely yield the best results! Without hesitation, Su Yu directly opened the bottle and poured the five bottles of brown potion into his mouth consecutively. Chapter 264: 264, [Elite]_1 Chapter 264: [Elite]_1 Trantor: 549690339 Root Potion didnt seem to be that impressive aspared to the names of other potions like Eternal Fury, Endless Winter, and Eternal Night Starlight. Yet in terms of actual effects, the Root Potion was considered among the most superior in the world of potions! [Pan-root] was a kind of nt-based magical creature, whose mature strength was at least a fourth-tier, with exceptional ones able to reach even the sixth-tier! There were often so many Pan-roots that they could cover half a mountain range. Their borate root systems ran through dozens of mountains, making it extremely difficult to destroy them. If animals or humans inadvertently entered the territory of the Pan-root, the Pan-root would first feign ignorance to lure the enemy deeper, then would attack en masse. Unless it was a fifth-tier or above being who could fly or a fourth-tier mage who specializes in me, it would be very difficult to escape from the Pan-roots dense vines. It would be eventually refined into a nutrient for the Pan-root. The Root Potion was a potion made from the most refined branches of a sixth-tier Pan-root. To concoct such a bottle of potion, several mountain tops of Pan-roots had to be destroyed to find the deepest hidden Pan-root. And a sixth-tier Pan-root could often only concoct 10 bottles of potion, it was indeed extremely precious! Even in thergest auction houses in Pearl City, such a treasure rarely made an appearance. It was mostly stored in the royal familys private collection. Such a precious item would not havee out as a mission reward if it was not for Alyssas special feelings for Su Yu. After drinking the Root Potion, Su Yu felt a surge of heat in his stomach as if a fire was burning. This fire carried an endless amount of energy, rapidly surging into his brain, trunk, limbs, and every other part of his body. All his organs felt as if they were on the edge of bursting! On the game interface, Su Yus health points, mana points, and attributes like strength, intelligence, physique, and agility all started to increase exponentially. The surrounding Magic Cloud Birds magical power was also quickly absorbed into his body, aiding in his attribute value increase. Thergest increases were in his health points and mana points. The panel numbers shot up as if propelled by a rocket. His original health points were 49236 and his mana points were 53680. These numbers quickly exceeded 100,000 and continued to climb without showing any signs of slowing down. After half an hour of absorption, his health points finally stalled at 401,000 and his mana points at a staggering 429,000 C an overall increase of seven times! Strength, intelligence, physique, and agility did not witness a drastic increase but on average they did rise by about 2.7 times. The most crucial attribute, intelligence, rose from 350 points to 945 points! Looking at these exploding attributes, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. Under normal circumstances, 5 Root Potions could increase life points and mana points by four times at most. But due to his foundationsid in the advanced secret territory and the purified magical power refined from the Magic Cloud Birds beak, his life points and mana points increased sevenfold! With his current attributes, even without any equipment, an ordinary fourth-tier magician would pose no threat to him. Moreover, under the name on his attribute panel, there are also two blue letters [Elite]. This proved that he had be an elite yer! (Oops) After improving his temte, Su Yu took some time to rest and rx in the Mage Tower. When the main mission started, he returned to Orleans City to continue his tasks. In the Grand Hall of the Princess House, Su Yu saw Alyssa again. Alyssa seemed extremely happy now, her face was full of smiles. She looked at Su Yu standing below the throne and smilingly said, Nemesis, after discussing with my ministers, I have decided to assign an important mission to you. I hope you can sessfullyplete it. What mission? Su Yu was somewhat puzzled by Alyssas smiling face. The current situation was so critical, why was she in such a happy mood? Alyssa gracefully descended from her throne and personally handed Su Yu a beautifully packaged green parchment. Nemesis, I am nning to send you to the Elf Kingdom to personally deliver this letter to the Elf Regent King. If Michelle Drank really betrayed us, she probably wouldnt convey my promise back to the Elf Kingdom. Now if you make the trip, there will be nothing to worry about. Ding, your main plot has been updated,[Goldfinch Empire (56-60/100)]. Task requirements: Go to the Elf Kingdom, deliver Princess Alyssas letter to the Elf Kingdoms Regent King, and bring back the Regent Kings reply safely. Task rewards: Random rewards based on the taskpletion. Understood, your highness. I will deliver the letter as soon as possible, Su Yu put the letter in his backpack. But he found it strange: Why are you so happy today? Because I counted the debts with the finance minister today! The princess winked at Su Yu: The royal family owes tens of billions of spiritual energy coins to Pearl City because of the war, which doesnt even include the huge bad debts left by my father. If Michelle does betray us, we wont have to pay thisrge sum of money back! Su Yu: So that was the reason. However, he also took this opportunity to ask, Your Highness, can I bring a fewpanions with me on this trip to the Elf Kingdom? Alyssa looked at Su Yu, suddenly her eyes shot sparks of danger. What? You dont think this journey is too long and boring and want to bring a few femalepanions for amusement, do you? Of course not! Su Yu quickly denied: Its just that among us adventurers, none have been to the Elf Kingdom before, so some would like toe along to broaden their horizons. After sizing Su Yu up again, Alyssa slowly said: Well, as long as all those who go with you are of the same sex, I dont oppose it. But dont bring too many people, its more dangerous with a bigger crowd. You can take up to 4 people. Rest assured, I willplete the mission sessfully, promised Su Yu. After epting the mission, Su Yu exited the Princess House. He then sent a message in the team chat room: Selling 5 spots to the Elf Kingdom, a spot costs 100,000 spiritual energy coins. Only males allowed. Those who go can develop mission resources ording to their own abilities until the beginning of the next expansion pack. Before Su Yus statement, most of the team leaders in the chat room were usually quiet. Either they were really busy or they preferred to remain silent to maintain their aloof image. But seeing Su Yus statement, these leaders quickly responded. Snow Leopard: Ill take all 5 spots! Red-Eyed ck Dragon: [Crying face]Snow Leopard, give us a chance! We also want a spot. Shepherd in the Clouds: We also want a spot. [Praying maiden face] Laser Pen: Boss Ke, why do you only want males? Do you want some fencingpanions? Im good with either being a 0 or a 1! Su Yu: Snow Leopard: Red-Eyed ck Dragon: Shepherd in the Clouds: Chapter 265: 265, Arriving at Elf Kingdom_1 Chapter 265: Arriving at Elf Kingdom_1 Trantor: 549690339 Eventually, a friendly negotiation led to the distribution of quotas among three major guilds: [Relevant Department], [Emperor Blood yer Sky], and [Mu Yun]. They each received a slot, and the remaining two slots were randomly drawn among other guilds in need, with [Gxy Federation] and [Meteor Butterfly] emerging as the ultimate winners. With the yers nominated by the five guilds in tow, Su Yu embarked on his journey to the Elven Kingdom. Nothing noteworthy happened on the trip to the Elven Kingdom. Due to geographical factors, going to the Elven Kingdom required passing through the Lai Yin Empire. The most challenging part of the five-in-one task was evading the numerous checks by the Lai Yin Empire to sessfully arrive at the destination. This task was difficult for other yers. They had to disguise themselves as ordinary people and slowly assimte, and if they were discovered by a powerful person in the Lai Yin Empire, all their effort would be wasted. However, for Su Yu, it was easy. He contacted Anduin Wrynn, the Chairman of the Lai Yin Empire Council, through Snow Fall again. Anduin was very grateful for the soul fragment of Xi Fan provided by Su Yu. He personally escorted him across the entire Lai Yin Empire and left him at the border of elves and humans. The Elf Race lived in an endless primeval forest. Upon reaching the edge of the forest, a few elves riding Moonde Panthers emerged warily from the forest, each holding a bow and arrow. Anduin ignored these elves and smiled at Su Yu, Your Excellency Nemesis, Ill leave you here. Youll have to travel the rest of the way on your own. Very well, thank you Your Excellency Anduin! Su Yu saluted Anduin with a mage gesture, But theres one thing I dont understand, I wonder if you could rify? What is it? Arent our two countries currently enemies? Lord [T Yang] is camping with the rebels of Kalet, and your navy is confronting our Goldfinchs Royal Navy. Is it appropriate for you to escort us here in person? Su Yu had merely hoped to have Anduin help a bit behind the scenes when he contacted him, but he hadnt expected him to personally appear and escort him all the way here. The scale of this was somewhat formal. Anduin chuckled, his eyes and body enveloped in a ck mist, Your Excellency Nemesis, none of the nations are unanimously united. Everyone has their different interest groups and their own ims. On the issues concerning your country, T Yang has his own ideas, and the emperor has his considerations. As for me, I have my own stance. It cant be generalized. Personally, I support Princess Alyssa in restoring Goldfinchs splendor. Su Yu nodded, I understand. Then I should get going, and we can get in touch if anythinges up. Anduin cast Su Yu a deep look and turned into a mist, headed in the direction of the Lai Yin Royal Capital. Watching Anduins retreating figure, Su Yu oddly felt as if he were simr to Xi Fan. He wasnt sure if Anduin had been influenced by Xi Fans soul fragment. [The Range is the Truth], or Mr. Li, was chosen by the Relevant Department to journey to the Elven Kingdom. Seeing Anduin fly away at this point, he sent a private message to Su Yu, Boss Ke, is the situation within the Lai Yin Empire as fragmented as Anduin said? Su Yu replied, Did you really fall for it? [Sweating soybean expression] This is merely Anduins rhetoric. The reality is that the Lai Yin Empire must have noticed that Kalets chances of victory are falling, and they want to put their eggs into different baskets, aiming to spread the investment and draw maximum benefit. Mr. Li: Oh, I see. Meanwhile, the elf huntresses in the distance grew impatient. The leading female hunter spoke in broken humannguage, Humans! Get off ournd, or well shoot! Upon hearing the ent of the female hunter, Mr. Li and the others were about to burst outughing. However, they knew it was a serious situation and not aughing matter. They turned their heads away, their faces red from suppressing theirughter. Having been to the Elven Kingdom in his previous life, Su Yu was used to the elves peculiar ents. Unmoved, he showed the badge given to him by the princess and spoke in Elvish, We are envoys from the greatest human empire, the Goldfinch Empire. I am here to see His Majesty, the Regent King, on behalf of Princess Alyssa on urgent matters. The history setting of Evolution was that the Elf Race created magic, and many high-level spells were written in advanced Elvish. Hence, Su Yu was able to speak a few sentences in Elvish, and everyday conversation was not a problem at all. Upon hearing Su Yus Elvish and seeing his badge which looked genuine, the elves appeared somewhat relieved. After they whispered briefly, one of the elves said to Su Yu, In that case, you follow us. Although this elf didnt have a strong ent, for some reason, her sentence structure was a bit disordered. After speaking, the elves rode their Moonde Panthers deep into the forest. Su Yu also summoned his mount and, joined by the flushed-faced Mr. Li and hispanions, followed suit. The group arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom. After manyyers of reporting, Su Yu eventually met the Regent King, [Legs Green leaf], atop a giant World Tree in the Elven Royal Capital. Upon meeting Su Yu and reading Princess Alyssas letter, Legs smiled happily, The [Eternal Crown] is our ns treasure, gifted to Sage Kevin by the first Elven King 700 years ago Adventurer, return to Princess Alisha and tell her that I am more than willing toe to your empire with my men. Su Yu replied, Very well, Your Majesty. The Regent King nodded, took out paper and pen from his space ring, and quickly wrote a letter. After instructing a servant to seal it, he handed it to Su Yu. Su Yu solemnly epted the letter. Usually, havingpleted the task up to this point, Su Yu shouldve taken the return letter and left. However, instead of leaving immediately, he looked at the Regent King in front of him with a smile and said, Your Majesty, if Im not mistaken, youre nning on using the power of the [Eternal Crown] to suppress the spread of the nt Transformation Disease, right? If Su Yus memory was correct, before the release of the first expansion pack, the nt Transformation Disease had begun to spread throughout the Elven Kingdom. Elves afflicted with it would transform into nts within a short year, losing all signs of being an animal. ording to records, the nt Transformation Disease had imed nearly a hundred thousand elven lives in a few decades, which dealt a heavy blow to the Elven race, whose reproduction was fairly problematic to begin with. The Regent King had attempted countless methods to cure the nt Transformation Disease, but to little effect. He could only helplessly watch as the disease threatened his entire race. Upon hearing Su Yu mention this name, the Regent Kings face instantly changed, How do you know about the nt Transformation Disease? How could a human from a far-off nation possibly know about such a unique affliction? Su Yu pointed to the [Senior Schr Badge] on his chest and adopted a profound expression: I am the top-ranked Prophecy Schr from the Goldfinch Empire. Not only do I know of this disease, but I also know how to cure it. So, would you like to try my method? Chapter 266: 266, [World Tree Heart]_1 Chapter 266: [World Tree Heart]_1 Trantor: 549690339 What?! You know the treatment for nt Transformation Disease?! Regent King Legs dropped the staff in his hand, but he didnt pick it up. Instead, he was staring at Su Yu with a piercing gaze. Legs had encountered many elves, humans, and beings from other races who vowed to be able to cure the nt Transformation Disease before. Most of them were fraudsters, and those who were genuinely skilled also failed. He didnt hold much hope in this regard anymore. But this man before him was different! Su Yu was the emissary of the princess, and the [Senior Schr Emblem] hanging from his chest was also real; he couldnt be making ungrounded ims, could he?! Because of the Regent Kings gaze, Su Yus clothes ignited spontaneously without wind and mes. His upper body clothing got burnt, revealing arge area of fair skin underneath. This must have been due to the regents emotions ring out of control, causing the density of fire elements to rise. Su Yu didnt really mind, he tore off the burning clothes and reced them with a new set of reserve mage robes. He smiled at the Regent King: I am a schr who specializes in prophecies and I can witness snippets of the future through unique abilities. Among these snippets, some part pertains to your kingdom. Your people suffer heavily under the assault of nt Transformation Disease, but eventually, they are able toe up with a unique medicinal concoction. Conveniently, the recipe of this concoction was in the snippet I was able to witness. Really? Thats great! The Regent King became excited. If what Su Yu said was true, then there might be hope for the resolution of nt Transformation Disease! Yet you should know. Su Yu rubbed his head as if in pain: Someone like me, a low-level mage, whenever I perform prophetic magic, especially those that could change the course of history, I would experience endless pain, and my life span would decrease as a consequence, so So what do you need? Legs intercepted: Would you want me to send you some top-notch elf beauties to ease your pain? Lets skip that. Su Yu twitched his mouth: I want the [World Tree Heart], and I only want it from this tree we stand upon now. No substitutions are eptable! The [World Tree Heart] that Su Yu demanded had a simr effect on gamers as the Root Potion C Both could sublimate the yers basic capabilities. The [Root Potion] could upgrade a yers basic capabilities from [Ordinary] to [Elite], causing their life value and magic power to increase by 4-7 times and quadrantal properties to increase by 1.3-2.3 times; The [World Tree Heart] could further upgrade a yers basic capacities from [Elite] to [Boss], where the life value and magic power could reach 10-15 times that of the ordinary level, and the quadrantal properties could achieve 3.3-5 times the original. The [Boss] temte is the highest possible level a yer can attain. Having this temte, a yer could simply rely on their endemic properties to fight with a boss of the same level in the game at equal capacities! But these are ultra-rare treasures, extremely valuable. Among the billions of yers in his past life, only about 90 had ess to these treasures. Moreover, all these 90 yers invariably became seventh-stage powerhouses without exception. Hearing Su Yus demand, Regent King Legs hesitated: You want the Heart of the World Tree? Are you sure? Definitely. This Legs didnt know how to respond. The World Tree they stood upon now was the lifeline of the Elf Kingdom, so digging out its heart recklessly would certainly inflict severe damage on it, which would greatly affect the entire tribe. However, on one hand, there was the World Tree, and on the other, there were the lives of millions of citizens. If the nt Transformation Disease went out of control, many more lives would be lost. With a frown, Legs was deep in thought, unable to make a decision. Su Yu was not in a hurry either, he stood patiently waiting on the spot. After a while, one of Legss servants spoke: Your Majesty, Princess Emily, she Hearing this name, Legs seemed to have thought of something and made a quick decision: Alright then, I agree to your terms! Yet, I must witness the drug taking effect with my own eyes before I hand over the Heart to you. Dont worry about that! A smile bloomed on Su Yus face again: We could sign a magical pact in the name of the Elf God, to protect both parties interests. Thats fine. Regent King Legs closed his eyes and murmured a spell. Several strands of emerald light fell from the sky, coalescing into a fuzzy emerald phantom in between the two. Under the phantoms witness, Su Yu and Regent King Legs formally signed a magical pact. Once both parties had confirmed the pact, the emerald phantom integrated it, and the pact officially came into effect. Su Yu nced over the contents of the pact satisfactorily, and extended his hand towards Regent King Legs: Pleasure doing business! However, Regent King Legs didnt extend his hand in return, he merely huffed: Theres nothing pleasant about it! For us, the harm resulting from forcibly digging out the heart isnt any less severe than nt Transformation Disease. If not for Emily If not for my people, I would never have signed the pact with you! Then he urged: Now that the pact has been signed, can you ry the prescription? Of course. Su Yu strolled slowly in the hall, recollecting and speaking: 2 grams of [Luminous Stone] ground into powder, 3 grams of Light Bird feather powder; [Intermediate Light Crystal] nt Transformation Disease was a persistent problem for the elf race in his past life and was not resolved until the end of the sixth expansion pack. Su Yu had a deep impression of the concoctions prescription for treating the disease because he had taken on a rted medication-making task, and now it could be put into use. Legs did not dare to dy, he remembered Su Yus words by heart and instructed his servants to bring over all the materials mentioned by Su Yu. All the materials Su Yu mentioned were quitemon, and it didnt take long for a dozen sets of materials to be transported into the central treehouse. As Regent King, Legs of course knew a thing or two about alchemy, and since the concoction was uplicated, he decided to do it himself. Under Su Yus instruction, he utilized his magical power to operate the crucible, input the materials and began concocting. Legs was quick at concocting, and in no time, a dose of medicine that emanated strong holy light was ready. Upon seeing the concoction, Legs fell into deep thought. He realized that their previous approach to treating nt Transformation Disease, through natural therapies, couldve been wed. They never considered that Holy Light could be effective. But Legs didnt dwell on it too long. Mather. He looked towards the servant who spoke earlier. Your Majesty. Servant Mather bowed hastily in respect. Bring Emily here, her nt Transformation Disease should still be treatable. Your Majesty! The servant was shocked, he fell to his knees before Legs: But Emily is the princess! Shouldnt you have others try it first Less talk, hurry up! Legsmanded. Understood! The servant dared not to voice any more objections, he quickly left the treehouse. Chapter 267: 267, [Moon God Clan Badge (Legend)], Leaving Elf Empire_1 Chapter 267: [Moon God n Badge (Legend)], Leaving Elf Empire_1 Trantor: 549690339 A few minutester, Princess Emily was carried into the central treehouse on a stretcher woven from vines. As Su Yu looked at the princess, he noticed that the left half of her delicate face had entirely turned a lush green, as had both of her arms, Clearly, her nt Transformation Disease had progressed to its final stage. Nemesis, is there any hope for my daughter? Regent King Legs asked expectantly. Ah! Su Yu sighed, shaking his head gravely. Legss heart instantly sank, Does this mean theres no hope? Not necessarily, Su Yu said slowly, given the princesss current condition, she would likely need to regrly take this medicine for a year to fully recover. Quick recovery is impossible. Legs: Then why the hell would you look so grave!? I thought my daughter couldnt be saved! Without any further hesitation, Legs opened his daughters ntified mouth and skillfully poured the medicine in. As the medicine flowed from her mouth to her stomach, the concentrated power of holy light began to permeate from her stomach and radiated throughout her body. Gray fog broke through the cell walls of the princesss green arm under the soaking of the holy light and was forced out inrge amounts. The princesss previously rigid mind seemed to reactivate, and she let out a few cries. Witnessing the gray fog, Legss eyes narrowed: Is this the aura of the undead?! Correct, Su Yu replied with a serious face, nt Transformation Disease is not a natural gue, and it most certainly is not some absurd punishment from nature as some people suggest. It is essentially an undead virus, specifically developed to target the Elf Race, and can spread rapidly through touch. Undead virus? Specifically developed? Legss face turned especially ugly. He had initially thought that this was just a peculiar disease, but it turned out to be a premeditated plot by the Undead! And the most ironic part was, they werepletely oblivious to this scheme! Su Yu smirked, By chance, I saw a fragment of the future in a prediction. It was a scene where you all destroyed the base where the undead virus was created, so I know who produced these undead viruses. Who is it? Legs looked truly terrifying, as if he wanted to personally chop the culprits into pieces at once! Well Su Yu rubbed his fingers together, clearly indicating that hed tell C for a price. Legs looked at Su Yu intensely and said, Tell me, what do you want? But then he seemed to remember something and continued, You arent thinking of the beautiful elfdies I mentioned earlier, are you? Considering your physique, I think many of our people would be willing to be with you. When Su Yus clothes identally burned earlier, he couldnt help but sneak a few more nces. Yes, a pretty robust young man who meets the aesthetic standards of elves. Upon hearing Legss words, Su Yus smile stiffened a bit. He wasntpletely uninterested in the beautiful elfdies. But if he really took them back, the good feelings Princess and Tina had for him might just end up plunging into the negatives! For his future happiness, he wouldnt even consider it. Ahem, Su Yu coughed lightly and said, The special trade permit from your kingdom is what I want, allowing my caravan to conduct business trades in your kingdom. The Elf Race has always been highly suspicious of humans, plus they have been leading a secluded life, resulting in all trades with humans being cut off. Indirectly, this caused the price of the Elf Races handicrafts to be exceptionally high. If Su Yu could open business trades with the Elf Kingdom, he couldfortably earn countless spiritual energy coins! This Regent King Legs hesitated a bit. Elvescked the talent formerce and had been swindled countless times by humans in the past. He really didnt want to open trade rtions with humans unless absolutely necessary. However, for the sake of finding the scum that developed the undead virus, he still said, I can allow limited trade between the kingdom and your territory, but the scale of the caravan cannot exceed 10 people, and it is only permitted to enter and leave the kingdom once a month. Alright, I ept your terms, Su Yu responded decisively. It didnt matter that the caravan scale was smaller, because yers backpacks could carry lots of things. Moreover, Alyssa had inherited manyrge capacity Space Rings, which could be used in the future. As long as he could open trade channels with the Elf Kingdom, that would be a good start! Can you tell me who the person manufacturing the virus is now? Legss eyes were sharpening, ready for action. Su Yu no longer hid it: It is Duchess Evanish of Green Yin City, who sided with the undead decades ago What followed doesnt need exining. The outraged Regent King Legs led just as furious elves from the entire kingdom and rushed towards Green Yin City. That afternoon, they returned victorious with Duchess Evanishs head and evidence of her manufacturing the virus. Legs hosted a grand ceremony at the enormous za under the World Tree to dere to his people that the issue had been resolved. At the ceremony, with the [Moon God n Badge], which symbolised the highest honour of elves, Regent King Legs expressed his gratitude in front of Su Yu: Nemesis, thank you for doing so much for the Elf race. Without you, it would have been difficult for us to find a cure for the nt Transformation Disease, let alone find the real culprit! We owe all this to you! No need for formalities, its what I should do, Su Yu said modestly, examining the properties of the badge. [Moon God n Badge(Legendary)] Jewelry Attribute 1: Your reputation with the Elf Race is fixed at [Worship]. Attribute 2: You receive the blessings of the Elf Race. (Strength, Intelligence, Agility, Constitution +10%) Attribute 3: Additional skill [Moon God Descends]: Summon an illusion of Moon God to attack enemies, strength of the illusion depends on the summoners strength, cooldown time 24 hours. Attribute 4: Additional skill [Falling Stars]: Summon a meteor shower in the target area to attack enemies, damage and range of the meteor shower depends on the summoners strength, cooldown 24 hours. Attribute 5: Additional skill [Elf Summon]: Send a signal in a radius with you at the center, any Elfin within 30 kilometers wille to assist after receiving the signal, cooldown time 24 hours. Note: This is a Moon God n Badge, not a Moonlight n Badge. The attributes of this badge are very good, and he would only figure out the power of the skills upon use. Su Yu was already satisfied with the windfall. Well then, Your Majesty, I wont linger any longer. Princess Emily is still waiting for my reply, Su Yu said his farewell to Regent King Legs. I will not keep you any longer then, Nemesis, you are always wee to visit the Elf Kingdom! Legs patted Su Yus shoulder, full of goodwill. Su Yu nodded, and simultaneously looked at the [The Range is the Truth] party of five people below the ceremonial stage: You guys should take care of yourselves here, I wont be able to help anymore. Dont worry, Boss Ke, we are all high-level yers! one of the yers confidently stated. Goodbye, everyone! Su Yu waved at everyone present, used [Hearthstone], and disappeared from the Elf Empire as a streak of white light. Chapter 268: 268、New mount? X_1 Chapter 268: 268New mount? X_1 Trantor: 549690339 A white light shed, and Su Yus figure appeared in the [Town Hall] of his territory. He did not bring the [World Tree Heart] back. Because it would take at least a month to extract the heart from the [World Tree]. The Regent King needed to do a lot of preparatory work in order to minimize the damage to the [World Tree] during the extraction process. However, the Regent King also promised that he woulde to the Goldfinch Empire with his high-ranking powerhouses in a month and then hand over theplete heart to Su Yu. Su Yu was not in a hurry. He was not eager to use the heart right away, but he nned to use the Heart and the [Heart of Blue Dragon Scarti] together when he broke through the sixth rank to achieve the best effect. After returning to his territory, Su Yu first selected the next technology to research in the [Town Hall], and then summoned Dima to head to Orleans City. Because of the long journey, it took Su Yu a whole month of game time to go to the Elf Kingdom. Fortunately, he had the [Hearthstone] that could instantly return, otherwise the time might have been doubled. In this month, the situation around Orleans City also changed significantly. When Dima brought Su Yu to the vicinity of Orleans City, the brutal siege war had already begun in Orleans City. Now Kalets army is already under the city. Dozens of tall [Siege Towers] were set up on the walls of Orleans City, and the soldiers from both sides fought bloody battles on the connecting bridge of the tower, fighting for the control of the city wall. The arrows in the city were shot out like locusts, shooting the rebel soldiers outside the city into hedgehogs; The rebel forces outside the city were not willing to show weakness either, the [Heavy Trebuchets] threw out huge ming stones, and the stones, mixed with the whistling wind, smashed into the city, copsing many buildings. Su Yu opened the [Invisibility Skill] and stood in the not far away forest, sighing quietly. The situation now does not seem to be easy to sneak into the city. If he could fly, it might be better. Wait, flying? Su Yu looked at the [Moon God n Badge] in his backpack, and an idea suddenly emerged in his mind. On the city wall, the yer specialmander C the [Snow Leopard] wasmanding the yers to fight this city defense battle. After all, yers can be resurrected after death, so they fight particrly unrestrainedly, fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, neither fearing nor surrendering. For a general like Snow Leopard who had the rank of a brigadier general,manding ancient cold weapon warfare was childs y, and even though the game included superhuman elements, overallmand was very simple. Under hismand, the imperial side had always maintained control of the city wall and had not been breached by the rebel forces. Snow Leopard stood on the tower of the city wall, analyzing the situation on the battlefield below whilemanding in the chat room: The long range professions of Group 1 cover coordinates (1235.5489) Groups 3 and 4, hold the sixth breach in the city wall, support is on the way! Group 7, go support the sixth breach wait, what is that? Just as Snow Fall was giving orders, a ck space crack suddenly tore open the sky to the east! Then, arge number of mini meteors with a diameter of three to four meters flew out of the crack and crashed into the densest area of the rebellious army below the city. There were a lot of meteors, covering an area of 80 meters in radius, which was roughly equivalent to a football field. And the damage caused by the meteors was extraordinarily high. As the meteors came crashing down, the entire rebel army turned into white light instantly, not a single one survived, and a huge gap was smashed out on the battlefield in a blink of an eye. This spell was of course the [Falling Stars] spell that came with Su Yus [Moon God n Badge]. The effect was surprisingly good! His game log started to flood: You sessfully killed an enemy soldier, gaining military merits +1. You sessfully killed an enemy soldier, gaining military merits +1. You sessfully killed an enemy officer, gaining military merits +10. You sessfully killed an enemy soldier With just a single [Falling Stars], he gained 2237 military merits, which means at least a thousand people died under his spell! However, Su Yus act of releasing the essory skill has attracted the attention of aspiring rebels around him. Many arrows and spells quickly flew towards him. Su Yu quickly uses [sh] to dodge these arrows and spells, then promptly employs another additional skill from his essory, [Moon God Descends]. The skill was sessfully used, a brilliant glow appeared in front of Su Yu, and an apparition of the Moon God walked out of the void, standing in front of Su Yu. This Moon God at first nce doesnt look much different from an elf, with green hair and pointy ears. The only difference is the huge ck and white wings on her back, each hand holding a silver spear. Without hesitation, Su Yu ordered the Moon God to turn around, then leaped onto her back, gripping her waist with his legs. Moon God, take me to the top of the city wall, Su Yumanded mentally. As you wish, Master, The Moon God nodded expressionlessly, then spread her wings and soared into the sky with Su Yu. This Moon God is merely an apparition without a physical body, so Su Yu gripping her waist is like holding a clump of smoke, the sensation extremely peculiar. During his flight, no high-ranking enemies came to intercept them. However, a multitude of arrows and spells flew over from the back. The Moon God waved her spear, a grey-white energy shield appeared behind Su Yu. The spells directly annihted upon impacting the energy shield; the arrows also gradually lost their momentum after hitting the shield, subsequently falling straight down. The Moon God utilized the impact force from these arrows and spells to elerate, andnded on the city wall. Upon reaching the city wall, the Moon God knelt down, gently cing Su Yu on the ground. Since the summoning duration was not over, she respectfully stood to one side, her dual spears crossed in a defensive posture, awaiting Su Yus nextmand. yers on the city wall were almost stupefied upon seeing Su Yus arrival! The space crack that had appeared previously, as well as the hundreds of meteors crashing down were most likely Su Yus handiwork. Several hundred meteors managed to kill thousands of rebels in a single strike, that was immensely powerful! Moreover, the Moon God apparition Su Yu rode on also astonished many yers. Everybody elses mounts were horses, wolves, raptors, bears, and other kinds of animals. Why could he ride on a beautiful Elvendy? Furthermore, this Elvendy could fly and even cast spells to block damagepared to their mounts, Su Yus was as if a Rolls Royce to a Chery QQ! The yers on the city wall inquired one after another, Boss Ke, is this your new mount? Su Yu looked around, casually replying, No, its an additional skill from an essory. Oh, thats how it is, they responded. Its outrageous! Why cant my essory summon beautifuldies? Another yermented, beating his chest. Heh heh keep striving! You might have the chance in the future. Su Yu encouraged. Another yer on the city wall asked, Boss Ke, whats the quality of your essory? It cant be Legendary, right? After thinking for a while, Su Yu felt there was no need to hide this and casually replied: Yeah, its a Legendary essory I just got. Its my third one. Once Su Yus words came out, the previously noisy battlefield instantly fell into dead silence. Everyone was staring at him with wide-eyed surprise, standing there dumbfounded. Chapter 269: 270, Five Skill Scrolls_1 Chapter 269: 270, Five Skill Scrolls_1 Trantor: 549690339 A third legendary essory?!! Most of them are equipped with just green-quality gear, they havent even seen a rare blue-quality item, yet Boss Ke already has three legendary items?! The gap between individuals isrger than that between a human and a dog! Snow Leopard, seeing Su Yu, also jumped down from the tower and approached him. Seeing Snow Leopard, the yers immediately inquired, Boss Snow Leopard! Do you have any legendary gear? Legendary gear? Snow Leopard looked puzzled: I havent heard of anyone possessing such gear. As for me, I have two epic-quality items, with the rest being blues. Hearing Snow Leopards words, the yers didnt know what to say anymore. Even Minister Zhong, who has the national resources behind him (Snow Leopard had revealed his identity after the Skuru people announced his position), only has two epic items. Yet Boss Ke has three legendaries?! And these three are all essories, what about his other equipment? Surely he isnt decked out in full legendary gear! The yers eagerly examined Su Yu. However, strangely enough, they didnt see any signs of equipment on him. One yer approached Su Yu with a propitiating demeanor: Boss Ke, could you show us the attributes of the essory to enrich our experience a bit? Hearing this yers words, the surrounding yers also hastily chimed in: Right, right, Boss Ke, let us expand our horizons! We all want to see, Ive never seen orange gear yet! Yeah, let us have a look! Seeing the yers enthusiasm, Su Yu simply agreed: Fine, then Ill show you one of the essories that I have reced not using anymore. He then disyed the properties of the [Embrace of the Seraphim] to the surrounding yers. yers, upon seeing the [Embrace of the Seraphim]s orange outline, could hardly contain their excitement. They took out their in-game cameras and snapped away, sharing pictures with friends or posting them in guild channels, some even posted directly to the official forum. Its not hard to imagine the uproar that Su Yu having three legendary essories would cause once posted in the forum. Snow Leopard, of course, also saw the attributes of the [Embrace of the Seraphim]. He couldnt help but take a deep breath: 100 spell power 1000 mana this increases spell power by an equivalent of 5% of mana, this equipment is pretty powerful! No wonder your damage was so high before! And such powerful essory was something that Su Yu had reced, this was outrageous! This was rewarded for the main questline. Su Yu exined. That makes sense. Snow Leopard nodded. Monopolizing two main questlines, the benefits he gained indeed did make people envious. However, he also saw the phantom image of the Moon God by Su Yus side and couldnt help but inquire: Who is this? Oh, this is a summon I created using an essory skill. Su Yu snapped his fingers, and the phantom image of the Moon God disappeared into particles of light. He then walked away from the yers, towards Snow Leopard: Snow Leopard, hows the situation in Orleans City currently? Hearing Su Yus question, Snow Leopard forcefully shifted his thoughts from the shock of seeing the legendary essory and shook his head: The current situation is not bad, its mainly the Imperial and Rebel yers who are fighting. Almost all the active participants on the battlefield are yers, the NPC main forces and high-ranking fighters havent yet engaged. Snow Leopard pointed toward the Rebels main camp just outside the city: Weve reached an understanding with the rebel yers, were all furiously earning battle achievements, and even though the fighting seems intense, its actually not impacting much. Alright, I understand. Su Yu nodded. No wonder he hadnt encountered any high-ranking fighters on his way here, and Tina wasnt on the city walls either. It appeared that both sides havent actually begun fighting. Snow Leopard looked at him with interest: I heard from Mr. Li that you helped the elves solve a big problem in the Elf Kingdom. The whole nations citizens are very grateful to you. Even the Regent King is considering marrying his princess to you, is this true? Su Yu: How did Mr. Lie up with this story? Princess Emilys arms are still branches, a genuine nt Wait, no, a genuine nt elf. How could the Regent King be thinking of marrying a nt to him? But Su Yu did not bother to rify. The more you try to clear up these kinds of situations, the worse they be. He waved at Snow Leopard: Ill continue with my task then, see youter when the taskes up! Goodbye. Snow Leopard also bid Su Yu goodbye, turning his gaze back to the battlefield. After descending from the city walls, Su Yu rode on Dima, heading west. A few minutester, he arrived at the Princess House, where he met Alyssa in the study. Alyssa was currently leaning over the desk in the study, resting her cheek in her left hand, looking somewhat haggard. Probably due to overexertion, there were slight dark circles under her eyes. Seeing Su Yu, she mustered up a smile: Nemesis, youre back! How was everything on your journey? It was very smooth, Princess. Su Yu recounted all his experiences on his journey, such as escorting Anduin and using the [Prophecy] spell to cure the elves of the nt Transformation Disease. Alyssa, with her head in her hand, listened with a smile to his experiences, and her eyes shone with a soft light: I heard from an otherworld adventurer called [Sky Dragon] that Legs wanted to marry his princess to you. This has apparently spread among the adventurers, is this true? Su Yu: How the heck did this rumor that Mr. Li was spreading reach the princesss ears? He immediately denied: Thats impossible, Your Highness. I am an upstanding man whos not interested in the opposite sex. Even if it were true, and the Regent King really wanted to marry the princess to me, I would refuse 100%. In his heart, Su Yu cursed Mr. Li numerous times. In the future, the authorities would no longer be his first consideration for opportunities like going to the Elf Kingdom. Hearing Su Yus words, Alyssa smiled slightly: Thats good! Alyssa was enough for Nemesis, he didnt need other women, and she would not allow him to have other women. Su Yu noticed that Alyssas mood was not bad and handed over the Regent Kings letter. The Princess received the letter, removed the magical seal on it, and started reading. After carefully reading through the letter, her spirit seemed slightly rejuvenated, a smile appeared on her face again: This is indeed a rare piece of good news! Nemesis, youve worked hard on this mission, what reward would you like? Su Yu thought for a moment. He currently doesntck money or resources to improve his strength, the only thing hecks now is better gear and skill scrolls. Skill scrolls would definitely have to be prioritized over gear. Therefore, he answered: Your Highness, could you reward me with some skill scrolls for a Tier 3 mage? Im currentlycking that. I knew you would need that, so Ive already prepared it for you! Alyssa smiled, the swipe of her finger summoned five brand-new skill scrolls from her Space Ring arrayed neatly on the desk. Ding, you havepleted your main questline [Goldfinch Empire (55-60/100)]. You received the rewards: skill scroll [Fire Magic Affinity] X1, [Fire Magic Resistance] X1, [Ice Magic Proficiency] X1, [Ice Magic Affinity] X1, [Ice Magic Resistance] X1. Chapter 270: 270. Are you interested in governing this country with me? _1 Chapter 270: 270. Are you interested in governing this country with me? _1 Trantor: 549690339 Thank you, Your Highness the Princess! Su Yu walked forward happily, cing the five skill scrolls into his backpack. The third-order skill scrolls are difficult to obtain in the game. Bosses in team dungeons with more than 20 people have a drop chance and the drop rate is about 3%. High rarity hidden quests might reward these, but the chances are still slim. This time the princess has generously given him five! She has been so kind to him! Now, Su Yu has collected half of his third-order spells. He believes that the princess will reward the other half as the subsequent tasks are unlocked! With this thought, Su Yu spirits lifted: Your Highness, what do I need to do next? Next is the war, of course. Alyssa, blinking her big eyes, looked at Su Yu: I will be preparing for the final battle in the next month. You and Tina must defend the city walls during this time and not let the rebels break through! Ding, your main storyline has been updated, [Goldfinch Empire (61-70/100)]. Task requirements: Complete [the Orleans City Defense Battle]. Task reward: Rewards will be given randomly based upon taskpletion. I will not let the rebels break into the city, I promise! Su Yu was full of confidence. Hmm, you can go. The princess leaned back in her chair, looking somewhat tired: Youve worked hard during this period. After the war is over, I will reward you handsomely Oh, Nemesis. As the princess said this, she suddenly sat upright and asked seriously, Nemesis, would you be interested in governing this country with me? Her meaning in her words couldnt be more tant. Um Su Yu was somewhat uncertain. However, he quickly gave an answer, Your Highness, now is not the time to consider these things. Once the war is over, I will give you a satisfactory answer. How about that? Alright, you think about it. Alyssa, catching the hint of refusal in Su Yus words, sighed softly. After bidding farewell to the princess, Su Yu left the pce. At the pce gates, he took the five skill scrolls out from his backpack and learned each one in session. He spent 5.5 million spiritual energy coins, raising all these skills to a [Master Level]. After being elevated to [Master Level], the properties of these skills have been enhanced threefold: [Fire Spell Affinity (Master Level)] Fire spell casting distance +60% Fire spell casting speed +28% Fire spell mana consumption -32% [Fire Spell Resistance (Master Level)] Damage from me attacks -32% A [me Shield] will be automatically activated when about to take me damage. The shield value equals 28% of the spell power, and can only absorb fire damage. The damage and duration caused by the negative state [Burning] -56% The details of the three ice system passive skills are not repeated here. The properties of these three passive skills are simr to those of the fire system. The only difference is that [Ice Spell Resistance] reduces the duration of [Freezing] effects and slowing effects by 56%. After the first passive skill of the ice system was upgraded to [Master Level], Su Yu unlocked the second exclusive special skill C [Frozen Tomb]. [Frozen Tomb (Exclusive Special Skill)]: Summon a tomb made of ck ice to trap the enemy, causing high damage and putting the enemy into a [Frozen] state. The duration of the [Frozen] state is determined by the levels of both parties. Cooldown time is 24 hours. [Frozen Tomb] is a single-target control skill with high damage. Its cooldown was as long as 24 hours, so naturally, its power wouldnt beckluster. In fact,pared to [Frozen Tomb], Su Yu would prefer spells like [Ice Sealing Miles], which haverge-scale crowd control abilities. But exclusive skills are obtained randomly, and Su Yu couldnt change it, so it was what it was. After learning the skill, Su Yu quickly reviewed his attributes, then rode Dima towards the city wall to start the next part of the mission. The next 10 tasks all involved warfare between yers. All because there were simply too many yers! Looking at both sides regr armies, the Empire had about 300,000 regr troops, and the rebels had about 700,000, totaling over a million, which was already quite a lot. However,pared to the number of yers, these numbers werepletely on a different scale. The number of yers who have entered the game on the Chinese server has exceeded a hundred million, with tens of millions active around Orleans City after reaching level 10. Walking on the streets of Orleans City, yers were packed everywhere, bumping into each other, reminding one of crowded tourist spots during peak seasons. Faced with such arge yer base, the NPCs on both sides naturally utilized them. yers were easy to please, they would fight for one whole day (2 hours) for just 10 spiritual energy coins, a cost less than what it might take to hire a single farmer. Moreover, the yers were generally quite strong and couldnt die, so both sides NPCs hired as many yers as possible to join the war. Over the past month, the war on the walls of Orleans City had never ceased. The battlefield radiated out from Orleans City as a center, extending to the surrounding towns and viges. Eventually, almost the entire territory of Orleans City had be a battlefield, where yers from both sides scrambled and fought over every inch ofnd. But due to some early influences from Su Yu, the best batch of yers in the game had basically joined the Empires side. 76 of the top 100 guilds in the game rankings were of the Empire, and the poption ratio was roughly 6:4. So although both sides cooperatively grinded in the battlefield, the rebel yers were inevitably at a huge disadvantage. By the time the main storyline reached the 63rd round, the rebel yers were not only driven off the city wall, but their battlefront was also constantly retreating, almost reaching the rebel camp a kilometer away. The rebel yersmander was very helpless and sought help from Duke Landilus. After understanding the situation, Landilus sent a 2000-strong NPC elite force to join the battlefield. On the walls of Orleans City, Snow Leopard was observing the enemy situation with a crude telescope made by a yer. In the battlefield beneath the city, the 2000-strong NPC elite force sticks into the formation of the Empires yers like a sharp knife, causing casualties wherever they go. In the elite force of the rebels, the weakest soldiers had second-order power, the [Centurions] and [Centenarians] were even third-order powerhouses, and the two [Kilofuchas] reached as high as the fourth order! The two [Kilofuchas] at the front of the army were invincible to the yers attacks, on the contrary, their area attacks could take dozens of yers lives with each hit. Such formidable power rapidly copsed the battlefront, and the battle line was quickly pushed back to the foot of the city wall by the rebels. The defense warrior of the Snow Leopard team C [Unbreakable Alliance] was standing next to Snow Leopard at this time. He frowned, a look of worry on his face: Mr. Zhong, how should we deal with this NPC force? Our yers cant even break their defense! We dont need to worry about that. Snow Leopard replied casually: I received a private message from Nemesis, the heroine [Tina Garcia] is already on her way here. The moment Snow Leopard finished speaking, a golden light came from the city, rapidly approached andnded on the city wall, it was [Tina Garcia]! Tinas voice also echoed in the air above the city wall: From now on, all the military units inside the city will follow mymand, and those who dare to disobey, die! ps: Something came up today, so Ill just post once. Ill definitely make up for it tomorrow! Chapter 271: 271、Defend the Radish_1 Chapter 271: 271Defend the Radish_1 Trantor: 549690339 Before Tinas arrival, the yers on the battlefield weremanded by Snow Leopard and the heads of several major guilds. After Tina arrived, she took overmand of all the units, including the yers. At the same time, a force of 2000 elite Imperial troops marched from the city barracks towards the city walls to deal with the enemys elite troops. A few minutester, these troops reached the city walls, and from a higher position, they began to attack the rebels elite forces. NPC forces were pitted against NPC forces, and yers against yers. Both sides once again engaged in a fierce battle at the foot of the city walls. Tina floated in the air, directing the battle below as if she were ying a war chess simtion. Moreover, hermand ability was stronger than Snow Leopards. This strongmand ability did not refer to better tactics, but to a higher efficiency of information delivery. Snow Leopardsmand mode was standing on the city walls tower, issuingbat orders to the yers through the chat room. Although this was simr to Tina floating in the air, herbat orders had to be issued one by one, and it took some time for the yers to receive them. But Tina was different. After she advanced to the Sanctuary, every two seconds she could send more than fifty orders through her spirit power! These orders were precisely transmitted into the minds of each small teams captain, naturally twice as efficient. Under Tinas minutely detailed control, the entire yer forces seemed toe alive. The yer forces no longer blindly rushed forward, but coordinated with each other, intercepting and enveloping the enemy, greatly improving theirbat strength! Under Tinasmand, thebat strength of the two thousand elite Imperial troops also multiplied, and added with their advantage of higher ground, the rebels two thousand elites suffered heavy losses after just one charge, even one [Kilofucha] was surrounded and in. The rebel forces fell into a huge disadvantage again. Not long after, at the rebels main camp 3 kilometers away. In the main tent of the camp, Dukes Landilus and Anzu Seifer were discussing matters rted to the final battle. Anzu Seifer sat in the main tents seat, holding a ss of champagne with a smile on his face: The high-ranking powerhouses of both Lai Yin and Wind Chime Empires are about to arrive. Once they arrive, we can start the final battle. Landilus also nodded casually, Not only the two empires, the High Priest of the Orc Empire and the Sword Saint are expected to arrive in half a month. With their participation, this battle is sure to be foolproof! Anzu Seifer drained his champagne, stroking his beard, The only thing I worry about is the Dragon Race, the Dragon Race hasnt replied yet, I dont know what His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is thinking. Landilus waved his hand indifferently: We dont have to worry about them, even if the Dragon Race doesnt participate in the war this time, we will definitely win! True, I cant even imagine how this final battle could lose! Anzu Seifer appeared very proud. Just as they were speaking, a Holy Knight yer arrived outside the main tent, giving a knightly salute: Your Grace, Tina Garcia has appeared on the battlefield, and Orleans City has also dispatched two thousand elite troops. This Holy Knight yer was named [Tear of Rupert], and he was one of the top five yers in the Holy Knight profession in terms ofprehensive strength. He was also the overallmander of the rebel yer forces this time. He pulled a [Holy Light Imaging Stone] from his pocket, activated it with holy light, and the image within the stone emerged. In the image, the two armies were fiercely battling at the foot of the city walls. However, with the same two thousand elites, the rebels elites were being suppressed by the Imperial elites and were on the verge of beingpletely annihted. The reason why the rebel elites were unable to resist wasrgely due to Tinasmand. Looking at the vibrant Tina in the image, the two Dukes exchanged a nce. Duke Anzu Seifer pondered for a moment, then said to Landilus: Should we specifically target this Tina Garcia? Hermand is too formidable, if we dont target her in the future, it will be a bit hard to fight. Youre right. Landilus stroked his chin and nodded. Then he loudly told [Tear of Rupert]: Pass on my order, let Chakar, Brandis, and Avina go deal with Tina Garcia, and at the same time dispatch another two thousand elites over. Understood, Duke. Tear of Rupert replied. A few minutester, in the rebels main camp, Chakar, Brandis, and Avina, three 6th rank Sanctuary-strong powerhouses, quickly ascended and rushed towards Tina in the sky. The Empires reaction was also swift. Before the enemys 3 Sanctuary-strong individuals could arrive, the Empire had 3 Sanctuary-strong individuals ascend quickly, protecting Tina behind them. Upon realizing that they could not kill Tina Garcia, the three Sanctuary fighters of the rebel side immediately requested support from the main camp. The main camp quickly responded to their support request, sending again two 6th-rank strong individuals and twenty 5th-rank ones. The Empire also refused to show weakness, keeping up with the rebels by bolstering their forces. Thus. The number of high-ranking powerhouses on both sides began to increase over time. In the end, the rebels 6th-rank powerhouses increased to 15, 5th-rank powerhouses 174, they even had two 7th-rank legends. The number of powerhouses in the Empire was about the same. A perfectly good war ended up resembling a tower defense game like Defending the Carrot! For the rebels, in order to eat the carrot, they continually sent a greater number of monsters (high-ranking powerhouses) with higher power. The Empire, in order to protect the carrot, constantly built more and stronger defense towers (high-ranking powerhouses). And Tina, she was that carrot. This tower defense battlested a full month. During this month, 5th and 6th-rank powerhouses would asionally fall from the sky. Of course, Tina, the carrot, was well protected without any harm done to her, she even had spare capacity to direct the battle below. ording to yers iplete statistics, in this one month, both sides each lost more than 50 5th-rank powerhouses, and more than 5 6th-rank Sanctuary powerhouses. The armies below also suffered heavy losses. Almost every one of the millions of participating yers died 4-8 times, nearly 200,000 regr soldiers died on the battlefield, of which about 60,000 were from the Empire, and about 140,000 were rebels. The main storyline slowly progressed, finally reaching thest link of the defensive war C the 70th round. After the 70th round of the main storyline began, Mr. Meng, who is known as the [Unbreakable Alliance], still, as usual, led the yers to the arsenal to collect military supplies and then headed for the battlefield to kill the enemy. At coordinates (114.514), Mr. Meng exined his intentions to the military supply officer d. d cheerfully opened the arsenal behind him and went in with the yers. But this time it was different from before, ds face wore a mysterious smile, Boys, this times military supplies arent like before! I will show you some nice things! What? Are there new kinds of military supplies this time? Mr. Meng asked curiously. You will know when you see them! The military supply officer, d, lifted a big wooden box taller than himself and lightly ced it at Mr. Mengs feet. Mr. Meng and the yers beside him, filled with curiosity, unpacked the box. But the moment they saw what was in the box, the yers were shocked! Chapter 272: 272. Sir/Madam, times have changed _1 Chapter 272: 272. Sir/Madam, times have changed _1 Trantor: 549690339 In the military equipment box, theres a whole line of firearms! Rifles, repeating guns, shotgunsall kinds of firearms were present. Mr. Meng wasnt too surprised, after all, he was a senior official in the relevant department. He knew these firearms were made in Boss Kes territory, and Mrs. Ke had even trained an army of regr people using them. But the other yers didnt know this! Seeing these firearms, everyone felt a sense of dislocation as if they were in a time warp where Guan Yu was fighting Qin Qiong. A yer stepped forward and picked up a repeating gun, his face full of astonishment: Why are there guns in the game? Has the era changed, my lord? Another yer also picked up a shotgun: Isnt this an old-fashioned sprayer? A lot of cops used these during the Americas free distributionbut this seems to be the most primitive sprayer, iparable to the modern ones. Oh, my God! This time theyre distributing guns as military equipment! It seems like Mrs. Ke is preparing to make some big news! a yer said in surprised. What the yers referred to as Mrs. Ke was Tina. In this ten-ring task, Boss Ke often had some intimate interactions with Tina. And yers found outthat during Tinas task announcement, if they responded with Okay, Mrs. Ke, the task reward would immediately increase by 30%! So by the end of this ten-ring task, the yers way of addressing Tina had turned into Mrs. Ke. There was a male yer named Dual-gun Granny next to Mr. Meng. His family ran a shooting range, so he was very familiar with these firearms. He picked up a shotgun, skillfully loaded the bullets, chambered the round, and pointed the gun at Mr. Meng: Put your hands up, kiddo! Or Im gonna have to shoot! Mr. Meng: Granny chuckled, Haha, just kidding. But seriously, Mr. Meng, out of all the yers here, youve got the highest defense. How about I shoot a shot at you to test the damage? Looking at Mr. Mengs mature chest muscles, Granny was itching to test it out, shes never fired a gun in the game before! After a thought, Meng nodded and said, Sure, go ahead. He was also very curious about how much damage these old-fashioned guns could cause to yers, so he agreed quite readily. Mr. Meng picked up the shield to block the shotgun. But considering the shotgun probably wouldnt pierce the shield, and not many yers would have as high a defense as him, he decided to throw away the shield and point his chest at the gun instead. Granny hesitated a bit, Do you want to use a damage-reducing skill? No need, Mr. Meng confidently replied, With my defense, I can take more damage than a normal defensive warrior using damage reduction skills. Just fire. Knowing that Meng was telling the truth, Granny nodded, aimed at Mr. Mengs chest, pulled the trigger, and shot. Bang! The bullet flew out of the gun barrel. Grannys arm was a bit numb from the recoil, and Mr. Meng was pushed back a few steps, a burning pain in his chest. Looking at his own health bar, Mr. Meng found that his health had dropped to 64%. One shot had taken away a third of his health! If a normal defensive warrior was standing here, he could be reduced to half health with just one shot! The surrounding yers marvelled at Mr. Mengs health bar, That gun is pretty powerful! One bullet could take half of Mr. Mengs health! If a mage or an archer was standing here, they might get killed in one shot! An archer would definitely die after one shot! Not necessarily for a mage, if the mage casts [Earth Shield], they should survive, albeit barely. Anyway, wed better hurry up and pick a gun, and let our friends know. The stock of guns here doesnt seem to be too much, it probably wont take long to be all taken! Yeah, yeah, hurry up and pick a gun. The yers hurriedly stepped up to pick their favorite firearms. Even Mr. Meng had chosen a repeating gun and happily ced it into his bag. The events at the Arsenal quickly spread through private chats and various guild channels. This caused quite a stir among the yers. The online Empire side yers rushed to the Arsenal, wanting to try out a gun. They had no chance to touch real guns offline, so it was nice to handle them in the game. The yers enthusiasm was running high, and before long the Arsenal was crowded with people. The quartermaster continued to distribute weapons and assign tasks to the yers. However, the stock of weapons was inevitably limited. By the time the distribution was done, a total of 2000 various guns had been given to the yers and in parallel,bat missions rted to the use of these firearms were assigned to these 2000 people. The yers who got the firearms, under the leadership of Mr. Meng, organized themselves, met with the 2000 NPC arms units trained by Tina, and started off grandly to the battlefield. On the front line, besides the 4000 firearms units, the artillery unit also made an impressive appearance! 80 cannons were positioned on the wall, unleashing their firepower against the rebels in the distance. Many yers also received a war mission to operate cannon, getting an opportunity to shoot with it. The yers uracy rate when using cannons and firearms was quite high. Not only would they get a partial hit-data correction during the shooting process, but they could also see a simted trajectory shown as a green dotted line when using cannon and firearms. The simted trajectory was initially a bonus for the archer yers, as the game had few lock-on skills, and this could assure every archers shots are precise. Now the simted trajectory was also applied to firearms and cannon, assisted by this the yers were hitting bulls eye each shot and continuously discharging firepower onto the enemys position. The rebels were suddenly in a plight. They could do nothing but take the beating from the Empire sides yers outpouring firepower and could not fight back at all. The range of the musket and shotgun were about 100 meters, while the range of the mage and the archer was only 40 to 50 meters. As long as the Empire frontline maintained a good distance and kept shooting, the rebels had no way to counterattack. The rebel front line was not particrly solid to begin with, and now with the fierce attacks from the firearm units and the artillery, it quickly copsed. yers on the front line turned into beams of white light, and the surviving NPCs fled backwards. The rebel yers were also discussing in various chat rooms: What the fuck is going on? Why are we still using cold weapons when they already have long guns and cannons? The power of this cannon is immense! A single shot can cover arge area. How can we continue the fight? The Colossus factions long guns and cannons have such a long range, we can only take the beating and cant even fight back. I have no idea, lets see what the two Dukes decide. The news of the copse of the front line quickly reached the ears of the two rebel Dukes. They personally came to the front line to inspect the situation. After seeing the cannons mounted on the city wall and the firearms unit below wildly reaping the yers, the two Dukes fell silent. After a period of silence, Duke Anzu Seifer sighed: Is this the secret weapon mentioned in the scouts report before? Its quite powerful! Landilus closed his eyes and sensed the power of the cannon and slowly said: This power is indeed not small, almost catching up with the power of a second-order peak Mages range spell, very deadly against ordinary troops and adventurers. ording to the scouts report, this is a new weapon produced in the territory of Nemesis. Nemesis? Him again? Landilus frowned. Yes. Duke Seifer sighed: What should we do next? Retreat! Landilus shook his head: Let all the troops withdraw, hold onto the camp, and patiently wait for the final battle. Chapter 273: 273, What would Tina do if she accidentally gilded herself? (Updating from yesterday)_1 Chapter 273: What would Tina do if she identally gilded herself? (Updating from yesterday)_1 Trantor: 549690339 The rebels frontline crumbled, and Duke Landilus gave the order to retreat, bringing the first half of the final battle to a victorious conclusion for the Empire. After receiving the retreat order, the high-ranking powerhouses from the rebel side in the sky also withdrew, temporarily bringing the war between the two sides to a halt. Worth noting is that yers on the Empires side involved in the final phase of the mission rted to firearms and artillery gained a great advantage. During the subsequent chase, they scored plenty of military merits. Some even amassed more merits in this single mission than they had ever done in the past! The Empires yers pursued relentlessly until the remaining rebel soldiers took shelter in their main camp, at which point they ceased their chase and retreated back into the city. The battlefield, which had been bustling for over a month, fell silent once more. In the first five stages of this 10-stage main task, Su Yu took on the role of a logistics minister, in charge of coordinating the allocation of military supplies. The challenge of these five stages should have been the uncooperativeness, difficulties, and dys from different sides during the distribution of supplies. But all ranking officers and military officials knew about his special rtionship with the princess and Tina. No one dared not to cooperate with Su Yu, no one dared to intentionally dy, and even less so, no one dared to make things difficult for him. These officers gave Su Yu the green light, allowing him to easilyplete these five stages of tasks. Afterpleting the supply allocation tasks, the remaining five stages were to apprehend spies and assassins within the city. The spies sent by the two dukes have been appearing out of nowhere, collecting information across the city; the assassins they sent were hidden and were constantly killing high-ranking officers family and rtives. For the task of capturing spies and assassins, Su Yu had a clever trick to activate the power of the general public! As mentioned before, the number of yers in Orleans City area was simply too many, reaching tens of millions. Each yer was like a walking camera, ensuring that nowhere in the city, not even the darkest and most remote back alleys, could remain hidden. Su Yu set up a reward system, offering 3000 spiritual energy coins for each piece of valid information leading to the capture of an assassin or spy. With the allure of the substantial reward, the yers swiftly sprung into action. With the yers help, Su Yu easily apprehended the majority of spies and assassins,pleting these five tasks. The task progressed sessfully to the 70th stage. Afterpleting the task, Su Yu did not rush to submit the task, instead he went onto the city wall to gauge the current situation. At a nce, Su Yu noticed that the rebel troops below the city had already been driven back to their main camp, and the high-ranking powerhouses from the rebels in the sky were also withdrawing towards the main camp. The high-ranking powerhouses of the Empire breathed a sigh of relief. Some returned to the pce to report to the princess, some returned home to heal their injuries, while others stayed on the city wall to rest. Tina fell into thest category. During this month, she had had zero rest. After all, she was the carrot. Not only did she have to constantly be on alert for attacks from high-ranking rebel powerhouses, but she also had to find time tomand armies using her mental energy. Even though she possessed the Divine Bloodline, after a month of intense battle, she was at the verge of exhaustion. At this point, she was standing against the coarse city bricks on the city wall, feeling a little darkness cascading before her eyes. Of course, Su Yu knew that Tina was very tired, he rushed to Tinas side, Tina, are you alright? Nemesis, Tina looked at Su Yu, a blissful smile on her face, Im extremely tired now, but its alright. The war has temporarilye to an end. Su Yu stepped forward to support Tina, Tina, I know youre very tired. Let me take you home to rest, okay? Okay, Tina softly agreed, taking a step towards the stairway of the wall. However, just as she took her first step, she felt a sudden wave of dizziness and nearly fell to the ground. Su Yu, being quick-witted, bent down and scooped her up in a princess carry, heading for the stairs. Noticing Su Yus princess carry, especially with so many people watching, Tinas face flushed crimson. She, however, did not resist at all, instead rxed her body and leaned her head on Su Yus shoulder. The surrounding yers who saw this scene start to holler: Oi, Boss Ke, so many people here will form an opinion! Boss Ke, youre holding Tina. What if the princess gets upset when she finds out? Man, shes a scary princess Damn! The battle just ended and Ive got to deal with a mouthful of dog food (rtionship disy)! The Sky Dragon lolita was sitting not too far away on the battlements, swinging her legs and nibbling on an apple to recover her strength. Upon seeing Su Yus princess carry, she spat out the apple from her mouth to the ground and turned her head away, Tsk, men! However, thinking about the fact that Tina couldnt enter the real world, she cheered up a bit. But All of a sudden, Sky thought of somethingwith the Blood of Tina Garcia, objects could be gilded. Tina had a lot of this blood. (This seems rather apparent.) What if she identally gilded herself one day and found her way into the real world? The more Sky thought about it, the more usible it seemed! If Tina ever entered the real world, wouldnt Sky lose her advantage? Tina was about to turn 18, and Sky was only 14. Out of age consideration, Nemesis would definitely not choose her. Sky secretly stole nces at Su Yus figure in her peripheral vision, making a decision deep down in her heart: No, I cant let things go on like this. I need to find out where Nemesis lives in the real world, pay him a visit, and live with him. Thats the only way to prevent Tina from making her quilted sneak attack. Yes, thats what Ill do! Upon catching sight of Su Yus princess carry, Sky Dragon, not too far off, muttered in annoyance, Men!. Even though the thought of Tina not being able to enter the real worldforted her, she couldnt help but worry about the possibility of Tina finding a way into the real world. Especially given that she was four years younger than the almost adult Tina. If that happened, wouldnt all her advantages disappear? Suddenly, she came up with a n. She decided to find out where Nemesis lived in the real world and move in with him! Not far off, Su Yu was not aware of Sky Dragons small figure. In fact, all of his attention was elsewhere. The moment he picked up Tina, the only thought in his mind was one word C heavy! Damn, she was so heavy! After advancing into the Sanctuary, Tina had put on a set of Sanctuary-level armour, which weighed up to 1300 kilograms! When Su Yu picked up Tina, it felt like he was holding a small tank, his legs were shaking uncontrobly. Despite Su Yu being a fourth-tier magician, he was still having a hard time dealing with such weight. The floor bricks beneath him were also creaking and trembling. If it wasnt for the fact that these bricks were magic-enhanced as a whole, his feet would probably have created a hole from the pressure. But looking at Tinas blissful expression, and not wanting to lose face in public, Su Yu could only bear the weight and carry Tina down the city wall. In the process of walking, all of his attention was spent struggling with this heavy load. Naturally, he did not notice Sky Dragon. However, Tina was intelligent and quick-witted. She noticed the pale color on Su Yus face and his slightly trembling arms and quickly realized the problem. She quietly took off her wristguards, gloves, shoulder guards and other unimportant armor and put them into the Space Ring to lessen her weight, simultaneously floating slightly upward using her fury. Thanks to a series of adjustments, Su Yu finally seeded in carrying Tina down to the base of the city wall without copsing under the weight. Chapter 274: 274, [Lighthouse Sudden Chill Set (Golden Epic)]_1 Chapter 274: [Lighthouse Sudden Chill Set (Golden Epic)]_1 Trantor: 549690339 As they descended the city wall stairs, Tina seethed with anger, forming an opaque golden barrier around her and Su Yu in a corner that others would find hard to notice. Within the barrier, she swiftly stripped off her armor and put on a light silk outfit. This greatly eased Su Yus burden, allowing him to easily carry Tina down the wall in the second half of the journey. At the base of the city wall, Su Yu summoned Dima. The two of them rode one horse, striding into the direction of Tinas home under the watchful, envious, and jealous eyes of the gawking yers. Dima galloped along the road, with Su Yu holding the reins and whispering into Tinas ear: Tina, youve had it rough this past month! You can stay home and rest for a while. Okay, then, you and the princess will be in charge of Orleans Citys internal affairs. Tina leaned against Su Yu, feeling a bit sleepy. The two moved on, chatting andughing. When they were close to Tinas house, Tina, seeming to not be able to resist sleepiness any longer, fell into Su Yus arms and fell asleep. She also began to breathe softly in her sleep, suggesting she was sleeping soundly. Seeing that Tina had fallen asleep, Su Yu patted Dimas horse and told her to slow down, walking slowly forward. Upon reaching Tinas house, Su Yu cradled Tina in his arms the same way he did on the city wall and brought her into the house. Tinas position was now that of Marshal of the Empire, so the legendary mage Sharon had set up arge defensive magic formation in Tinas house to ward off high-ranking assassins, and of course, to deter yers from entering. But it seemed that Tina had granted Su Yu full ess to this magic array, and he carried her straight to her bedroom without any hindrance, ced her on the bed and tucked her in. Then Su Yu waved goodbye to Tina on the bed and left Tinas house without a look back. About ten seconds after Su Yu left, once sure that Su Yu really did leave and was not hiding to prank her, Tina slowly opened her eyes, her expression slightly resentful. She was not truly asleep earlier, only pretending to be. Originally, she thought Su Yu might take advantage of seeing her sleeping face to do something. But she didnt expect that Su Yu didnt do anything! How infuriating! Tina savagely beat up the pillow, imagining it to be Su Yu. But because she was truly too tired, she ended up falling into a deep sleep while hugging the pillow. The scene now returns to Su Yu. After leaving Tinas house, he rode Dima in haste towards the Princess House. Now that the main storyline waspleted, it was time for him to get his rewards! In the princesss study, Su Yu sessfully met Princess Alyssa. Alyssa was in a good mood, sat next to arge desk, and was engrossed in a book. Upon Su Yus gazended on the book, he saw that it was titled How to Raise Kittens. Su Yu: How could the princess be in the mood to read such a book with the great battle looming? It was as ridiculous as someone who was supposed to be studying for an important exam the next day but was reading a novel on their phone instead. Wasnt this a waste of time? However, Su Yu didnt vocalize these thoughts. Noticing Su Yus arrival, Alyssa closed her book and smiled, Nemesis, youre here! Your Highness, Ivepleted the task you assigned me and am here to report. Su Yu gave Alyssa the ledger detailing the flow of supplies, alongside a list and proof of the arrested spy-assassins. These items all existed in his bag as task items after the task had beenpleted, so it was the perfect time to turn them into Alyssa. Alyssa carefully browsed through these items and expressed her satisfaction, Nemesis, you did a good job. I believe you have great potential for higher rank! I n to choose a high-quality fourth-level frost mage robe from the Royal Familys treasures as your reward, what do you think? That Su Yu was somewhat reluctant. Inparison to equipment, he would rather have a skill book. Alyssa continued, And Ive heard from Tina that you like gold, so I specifically chose a gold set for you. Hearing the words gold, Su Yu immediately said, Thank you, Your Highness! Ding, the main plotline [Goldfinch Empire (61-70/100)] has beenpleted. You received a reward: [Lighthouse Sudden Chill Set (Golden Epic)] X1. Su Yu epts the small Space Ring tossed to him by Alyssa, containing a set of equipment wrapped in frost. The set contains 7 pieces, which are: [Lighthouse Sudden Chill Headgear (Golden Epic)] Intelligence+156 Frost spell critical hit rate +5% Trait 1: Attached skill [Clear Mind]: release a globe of frost mist to envelop your head, dispelling a [Fear], [Confusion], [Charm], [Dizziness] or other mental control spells.

Chapter 275: 275, The Eve of the Decisive Battle_1 Chapter 275: The Eve of the Decisive Battle_1 Su Yu was extremely satisfied with the attributes of this set of equipment! In Evolution, many pieces in this epic set of equipmente with skills attached, and equipment with attached skills is the most precious. For example, the level 5 Vige Chiefs Staffes with a sh Skill. Su Yu has kept this staff up to now and even uses it asionally. The Lighthouse Sudden Chill setes with eight skills: Ice Barrier, Frost Shield, Frost Nova. All of these are very practical skills. He even felt that wearing this set to Skru Star wouldnt be a bad idea. Moreover, the seven-piece set of equipment offers a skill with a cooldown time of 24 hours! In Evolution, the longer the cooldown time for a skill, the stronger its effect, almost without exception. Even if Su Yu has never used this skill, he knows it must be powerful. Thest and most crucial point is that golden equipment can be brought into reality. When he eventually acquires a higher-level set of equipment, he canpletely give this set to other mage yers in the offline world, which would be a win-win situation no matter how he thinks about it! Thinking of this, Su Yu joyfully said, Thank you, Your Highness the Princess! Youre wee. Why should we thank each other? Alyssa responded with a smile, twirling her fingers through her hair at her temples. But then she suddenly seemed to remember something. So Alyssa blinked at Su Yu, Nemesis, why dont you change your clothes now? I can check the goods right away. Now? Su Yu was taken aback. Of course, change now. Theres no one else here. Alyssa cast a sealing spell, securely locking the wooden door of the study. This spell clearly expressed one thing: If Su Yu didnt change now, he wouldnt be able to leave. Su Yu: Why did it feel like Alyssa was sure hedply? He suddenly had a deja vu feeling like amb to the ughter. However, there was a principle Su Yu always adhered toif I dont feel embarrassed, then the one who should feel embarrassed is them. And besides, Alyssa was just about to turn 15. Could he be easily scared by her? Alright, Ill change. Su Yu took off his mage robe, revealing his eight-pack abs. He unted them in front of Alyssa. But once he had taken off his robe, he suddenly noticed that because he had not exercised for a month, absorbed excessive spiritual energy, and had been immersed in Prime Minister Cao Caos medicine bath, his belly appeared swollen. His eight-pack was on the verge of bing a single pack! This made him feel a bit embarrassed. But Alyssa never expected Su Yu to just take off his shirt so easily. She had just wanted to tease Su Yu without really meaning it This was the first time in her life she had seen a male upper body, and she immediately blushed and turned her head away. Just a paper tiger after all. Su Yu thought to himself with a smile, putting on the Lighthouse Sudden Chill Robe. The Lighthouse Sudden Chill Robe was made from the silk of a fourth-order Warcraft, the Ice Aurora Moth, which was blue throughout. There was a giant lighthouse emzoned on the chest. Beside the lighthouse was a sun just risen from sea level. The symbolism of the pattern was clear: the sun was rising, which signified that the effect of the lighthouse was slowly decreasing. It was a pretty meaningful metaphor. The robe was covered with a thickyer of frost. When Su Yu put it on, he could feel the water elements in the air quickly gathering towards him. He couldnt say about other things, but it would definitely be cold to wear this for the summer! Seeing Su Yu put on the robe, Alyssa finally turned her face back. As the saying goes, Clothes make the man. After Su Yu put on this new robe, his temperament definitely improved a lot from before. There was even the demeanor of a high-ranking mage in his every move! Alyssas eyes lit up and pulled on his sleeve, Nemesis, this equipment actually suits you quite well! Of course, I am good-looking no matter what I wear. Su Yu answered. Alyssa could not help but roll her eyes. After talking for a while, Princess Alyssa nced outside the window and said, Its gettingte, I need to have a meeting with all the ministers. You should go back home and rest well in these few days in preparation for the decisive battle. As she spoke, she removed the seal on the wooden door. Princess Alyssa, when do you anticipate the decisive battle to ur? Su Yu asked. Alyssa pondered and replied, Its likely to happen in about half a month. Are you confident of a victorious oue? Su Yu was somewhat worried. The main story plot for this world, due to the deep influence of Su Yu, has bepletely different from the previous world. Over these days, Su Yu recalled the main story plot from the previous world through his memory: In the plot of the previous world, Xi Fan did not rebel and he lived until the fourth expansion pack; Princess Alyssa joined forces with her father, the king of Forest City, and the Emperor of Goldfinch led an army of 500,000 out from Forest City to fight a decisive battle with the rebels. But in that battle, the Emperor suffered a terrible defeat and fled back to Forest City. The Emperors defeat rapidly intensified the internal conflicts within the Empire. To resolve the internal conflicts, Princess Alyssa instigated a coup to seize her fathers military power. However, Alyssa could not withstand the fierce rebellion forces and fled to Orleans City in panic. The rebels pursued relentlessly, forcing the siege of Orleans City step by step. In desperation, Alyssa appointed Tina Garcia, who had high prestige in Orleans City, tomand the nations army. The second day of Tinas appointment, a gigantic meteor fell from outer space into the rebels main camp, resulting in the death of 300,000 regr soldiers. The high-ranking forces of the rebellion also suffered heavy casualties from the meteor strike. The strike from the meteor almostpletely destroyed the main force of the rebellion. Tina easily defeated the rebels and finally unified the nation. That was the plot of the past world. But the plot in this world ispletely different from the past world. Tina has served as a marshal for almost two months, and theres no sign of the meteor at all. So, Su Yu was not sure if this war could actually be won. What if, in this world, the Empire is destined to lose? However, Alyssa was very confident. She looked at Su Yu and said, Dont worry, Nemesis. For the sake of our people, I guarantee that I will win this war! Good luck then! Goodbye, princess. Goodbye, Nemesis. After bidding farewell to the princess, Su Yu left the mansion. In the next half month, or little more than a day in the real world, both sides were at aplete ceasefire. But everyone knew that a storm was brewing C the whole city was uneasy, and everyone was preparing for the war, whether actively or passively. Soon, the half-month period passes in a hurry. The time of the decisive battle was upon them. No sign of a meteor was seen during this half month, so Su Yu did not dare to hope anymore. Its worth mentioning that during this half month, Princess Alyssa celebrated her fifteenth birthday, and Tina Garcia celebrated her seventeenth, with their birthdays only three days apart. However, both of them didnt pay much attention to their birthdays. They didnt even bother to hold a birthday party, focusing all their energy on the uing decisive battle. Su Yu also did not ck off. He returned to his Mage Tower on his own territory, tidying equipment and absorbing the materials of Warcraft in order to increase his strength, and he patiently waited for the next tasks to be opened. Finally, the date arrived. On July 14th, the decisive battle was officiallyunched! Chapter 276: 276, [World Tree Heart], Elf Princess’s Marriage Contract_1 Chapter 276: [World Tree Heart], Elf Princesss Marriage Contract_1 At 10 a.m. sharp on July 14. As Su Yu was still in the Mage Tower leveling up, he received a game notification: Ding! The main storyline C [Goldfinch Empire (71/100)] is about to begin. Please proceed to Princess Alyssas temporary residence in Orleans City. The coordinates are (5941, 2234). Countdown starts at 29:59. After getting the notification, Su Yu shut down his Mana Pool, stood up and told the little loli Kathy next to him: Kathy, well end things here for now. I need to go out for a bit. Finally done, huh? Kathy put down the materials in her hand and heaved a sigh of relief. Yeah, its over. Su Yu walked over and patted the little lolis head affectionately: Be good and stay at home, Ill bring you some snacks when I get back. Okay, my Lord, Kathy replied sweetly. When he arrived on the balcony of the third floor of the Mage Tower, Su Yu activated the [Ice Wings] skill attached to his shoulder pads. A set of ice-crystal formed wings that spanned 2.5 meters appeared on his back. Controlling his wings, Su Yu flew towards Orleans City at high speeds. The yers in Aphi City only saw a figure quickly gliding across the sky, disappearing in a blink of an eye. The speed of the [Ice Wings] was incredibly fast. It took only 5 minutes for Su Yu to fly above the city walls of Orleans City before the skill effect gradually faded. Many people were present on the city walls. It felt like a crowded holiday at Badaling. Among them, a small part were NPCs, while most were yers. The Snow Leopard, standing atop of the city tower, noticed Su Yus arrival and waved at him from afar. However, they were too distant for the Snow Leopards voice to carry, so he sent a private message to Su Yu: Youre here! The battle will begin in half an hour. Su Yu replied: Im awareBy the way, have you noticed any meteorites or shooting stars recently? Snow Leopard: Meteorites? Shooting stars? Are you talking about naturally formed ones or magic spell effects created by mages? Su Yu: Of course, I meant the naturally formed onesNevermind, based on your response, its highly unlikely. Ill go andplete my task now. Snow Leopard: Uh, okay. After leaping off the city wall into the inner city, Su Yu deftly maneuvered his way through the spacious city roads on his mount, Dima. However, he did not directly head to the Princess House, instead, he went to the [Elf Mansion] located on Green Shade Road. At present, the regent Legs had brought high-ranking members of his race to Orleans City and was residing in the mansion. Naturally, Su Yu had to visit him. Dima trotted, bringing Su Yu to the Elf Mansion. Just as he reached the mansion entrance, he heard the Elves familiar inverted sentences: Human, leave here quickly, or we will shoot! A few elven archers aimed their arrows at Su Yu who was still on his horse. Su Yu took a deep breath, preparing to take out the [Moon God n Badge] to show these elves. But before he could act, an authoritative voice boomed from inside the mansion: All of you stand down. This man is an honoured guest of our Elf Race! Understood, Regent King. Hearing the voice, the elven archers instantly lowered their bows. At the same time, the tall, crown-d Regent Elf King C Legs walked out of the mansion. Nemesis, my dear friend, its been a while. said Legs as he walked over, embracing Su Yu in a friendly hug. Im delighted to see you, Your Majesty the Regent. After the embrace, Su Yu said: The reason I came to see you is about The [World Tree Heart], right? interrupted Legs. Indeed. Alright then,e with me. The Heart is ready. Legs led the way into the mansion, with Su Yu following closely. The interior of the Elf Mansion was very much in the style of the Elf Race. Towering trees and treehouses weremonce, while stone-built houses were scarce. Walking into the Elf Mansion and being surrounded by countless trees evoked a sense of returning to nature in Su Yu. In a treehouse located at the very back of the mansion, Legs invited Su Yu to sit down before taking out a ser ball-sized green crystal and cing it in front of him. The crystal emitted a rich and invigorating life energy. Just the energy floating in the air gave Su Yu an extraordinary level offort. My dear Nemesis, this is a natural green crystal. Inside it lies the [World Tree Heart] you seek. When you want to use it, just break the crystal shell to retrieve the Heart. Reluctantly, Legs pushed the green crystal towards Su Yu. Thank you, Your Majesty! Su Yu picked up the green crystal and used the [Insight] spell to check the attributes of the crystal. [World Tree Heart] Wonder Usage: 1. Use the massive natural energy within the Heart to change professions to special jobs such as [Eternal Druid], [World Chanter], [Contract Maker of Natural Heart], etc. 2. Craft magical items such as the [Heart of Life], [Endless Vine Ring], [Top-ss Natural Blessing Potion], etc. 3. Absorb and refine the Heart in the Mana Pool, with a high chance of breaking through your own barriers and gaining some additional special abilities. The category of the [World Tree Heart] is Wonder, which refers to the best, rarest, and most valuable magical materials in the game world. If he were to bring the Heart out, even powerful beings like Xi Fan and the Star-forged Dragon King would be envious of it. Satisfied, Su Yu put the [World Trees Heart] into his bag and chuckled: Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Regent. Dont mention it, we have a mutually beneficial rtionship. The Regent King casually waved his hand as though not heartbroken, adding: With the potion form you provided, the nt Transformation Disease in our Elf Kingdom has been effectively controlled. Even those elves who have just turned into nts have shown significant improvements after taking the potion. At this point, Legs stood up, bowed solemnly to Su Yu: On behalf of the entire Elf Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude, my dear friend Nemesis! Theres no need to be so formal, Your Majesty the Regent. Su Yu quickly stood up to support him: As you have just said, our rtionship is based on mutual benefits. But I still have to express my gratitude, its obligatory. Saying that, it seemed like Legs suddenly remembered something. His eyes lit up and promptly said: My dear Nemesis, I have a request but I dont know if youd be willing to agree. What is it? Well Legs slowly paced around the treehouse as he exined: My daughter, Emily, is 142 years old this year. In another two years, when she reaches 144, she wille of age. Emily is beautiful, intelligent, kind, and she admires you a lot. Would you be willing to marry Emily and be her husband? Su Yu: Chapter 277: 277, The final battle begins! _1 Chapter 277: The final battle begins! _1 The main reason that Regent King Legs took a fancy to Su Yu and wanted to marry his daughter to him, was because he coveted Su Yus startling [Prophetic Arts]. After annihting the Duchess Evanish who pledged allegiance to the undead, the elders among the elf race conducted an assessment of the entire nt Transformation Disease incident. The conclusion they arrived atwithout Su Yus prophecy, it would have taken them at least several decades to develop a cure for this disease, and identify the culprit behind the scenes. Su Yus [Prophetic Arts]enabled them to solve the problem of this disease decades ahead of time, a truly terrifying ability to rewrite the future! In the long history of the elf race, there had been terrifying individuals capable of changing the future, but after using such powerful [Prophetic Arts], all of them paid a hefty price, some even with their lives. Yet Su Yu was perfectly fine after making his prophecy. This pointed to the fact that the future of this young man was immeasurable! So, Legs valued Su Yu greatly and wanted to marry his daughter to him. At the same time, His Majesty the Regent was gleefully contemting, If Nemesis marries Emily, the [World Tree Heart] will not fall into the hands of outsiders, thats making a huge profit! And possibly, the child of Emily and Nemesis might inherit this terrifying prophetic ability, this seems like a bloody good deal no matter how I think of it! Legs looked at Su Yu with fatherly affection, so much so that he nearly addressed him as son. Su Yu, on the other hand, managed an awkward yet polite smile. Just when he was wondering how to tactfully decline, a clear female voice suddenly came from the distant horizon. It was Princess Alishas voice saying, No, Nemesis is not willing. In the sky, Alisha sped towards the elf mansion. That was close! A stepter and maybe it would have been toote! Alisha thought as she elerated. Legs had noticed the princess arrival long ago. But he didnt know about the special rtionship between Su Yu and the princess. So, after hearing the princesss words, he found it odd. Why was Princess Alisha trying to prevent this marriage? But Legs didnt think too much about it and directly flew towards the sky. There, he greeted Alisha with an ancient elf nobility salute and said, Princess Alisha, its a pleasure to meet you again. Im also d to see you again. Standing in the sky, Alisha returned Legss salute and said, The main purpose of my visit is to remind the elves: the decisive battle is about to begin. You need to be ready. Rest assured, well be prepared, Legs assured her. At the same time, he asked with some uncertainty, But Princess Alisha, why are you trying to stop my daughters wedding to Nemesis? Do you think my daughter is not worthy of him? Its not about worthiness Alisha paused, unable to say outright that Nemesis was her man, right? She turned to look at Su Yu who was below, Nemesis,e back with me. The decisive battle is about to start. Lets talk about everything else after the battle. Alright, Princess Alisha. Su Yu replied. Regent King, Ill take my leave now. If theres anything else, we can discuss it after the battle. Without waiting for Legss response, Alisha quickly took off with Su Yu, leaving the elf mansion. Before you knew it, 20 minutes had passed in reality. The Catters rebel army had emerged from their base camp. The east gate of Orleans City. The yers standing on the city wall could see a massive dark force on the distant road. The NPC regr army was marching in the middle, pushing the [Siege Tower], [Battering Ram], [Heavy Trebuchet] and other siege weapons with strict military discipline; The yers participating in this campaign were scattered around, their formation quite disorderly. However, such arge gathering brought an epic sense of mounting pressure to the yers on the Imperial side of the city wall, stirring up strong emotions in many of them. All the rebels of fifth rank and above were flying in the sky above this army. These rebel powerhouses were roughly divided into three groups: The first group was led by Duke Landilus and consisted of about a hundred people; The second group, led by Duke Anzu Seifer, also had around a hundred people; The third group was situated towards the rear of the center, led by the strongest of the Lai Yin Empire the peak Seventh Order Holy Knight [T Yang], with a dozen powerful backers from the Lai Yin Empire following behind him. All three groupsbined, there were 286 powerful figures advancing towards Orleans City. Feeling the approach of the enemies, the Empires high-ranking fighters also began to take to the sky. There were slightly fewer high-ranking fighters from the Empires side, only a total of 255. However, in terms of apexbat power at the Sixth and Seventh Orders, the Empire was notcking. The two sides could practically be described as evenly matched. Princess Alisha took the lead, followed by other high-ranking fighters from the Empire, heading towards the enemy high-ranking fighters. Su Yu followed slowly by Princess Alishas side, flying. He was currently under the buff of [Tina Garcias Blessing] and was on an equal level with Tina, both being Sixth Order Sanctuary members. However, his skills were not fully developed, and his equipment was only of the Fourth Order, so he couldnt be considered a Sixth Order fighter. At most, he could be regarded as an erged Fifth Order fighter. Looking at the dukes Landilus and Anzu Seifer, who were getting closer and closer, Su Yu sighed slightly: Does it mean the Shooting Star is a no-go? What shooting star? asked Tina, who was flying side by side with him. Oh, nothing, I was just talking about the meteor you summon. Su Yu replied with a smile. Tina: When could she summon meteors? During their conversation, Alyssa lead the group of high-rank fighters over the city walls. The yers on the city wall lifted their heads to watch. When they spotted Su Yu mixed in the crowd, many of them eximed: Look! The one in the blue robe is Boss Ke! Really! Its really Boss Ke! Hi, Boss Ke! Hello to bothdies! I envy Boss Ke for being able to participate in epic battles, while we can only deal with the small fry among the enemy. I envy Boss Ke for being able to fly! I also wish I could fly someday too! Seeing the excited yers on the city wall, Su Yu hovered over the wall, waved at the yers in the manner of a school leader, and said, Youve worked hard, everyone! yers burst intoughter, responding: Youve worked hard too, Boss Ke! You all got a tan. Boss Ke, youre even tanner! Su Yu: Nevertheless, he didnt linger too long and continued flying forward with the group of high-ranking fighters. When the distance between the two sides was only about 400 meters, Alyssa and the two Dukes simultaneously stopped and hovered mid-air. Alyssa looked at the two Dukes and smiled slightly, saying, Duke Landilus, Duke Seifer, long time no see! Long time no see, your esteemed Highness, replied both Dukes simultaneously. The Duke Anzu Seifer seemed to remain calm andposed; The look in Duke Landiluss eyes was sharp as a hawk, staring like a predator. After responding, Landilus looked directly at the Princess and said in a threatening manner: Your Highness, from tomorrow on, the title Goldfinch Empire will no longer exist. What do you think about this matter? Chapter 279: 279, Final Battle in Orleans City (II) Su Yu Dueling against 700,000 Rebels_1 Chapter 279: Final Battle in Orleans City (II) Su Yu Dueling against 700,000 Rebels_1 Looking at the enemy camp below, Su Yus eyes lit up, and an idea came to mind: He might not contribute much to a battle involving high-ranking fighters, but he could ambush the rebel forces below him! Eliminating rebels would earn him a lot of [Battle Merits], which he could exchange for valuable items from the military quartermaster. Although the items avable for exchange were of little use to Su Yu, he could give them to Swift, Sky Dragon, or A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated to quickly aid their growth. And with that, he took action. Su Yu charged toward the mass of rebel troops. Of course, the rebel mid-high-ranking officers were constantly observing the ongoing battle above their heads. The sight of Su Yu diving down startled many of them. ording to unwritten rules, fighters ranked fifth order or above were not allowed to attack regr troops. Doing so would uphold their dignity and prevent a reputation loss from indiscriminate killing. But since Su Yu was, after all, an adventurer from another world, it made sense that he wouldnt abide by these rules. Seeing him dive down made the rebel officers quite ufortable. But Su Yu was almost upon them, and even if they felt ufortable, they had to react immediately. A general in the heart of the rebel forces bellowed, Archers and mage legion, get ready to bring down Nemesis! Roger! the archersmand captain (fourth-order peak) and the legions chief mage (fourth-order peak) responded simultaneously. Then, they had their teams hold their positions. The archers utilized the [Spirit Link] skill and the mage legion used the [Magic Link] skill to gather theirbined spiritual and magical energies, preparing for high-ranking arrow and magic attacks. The [Spirit Link] and [Magic Link] skills were the only ways for low-ranking practitioners tobat high-ranked ones. For instance, a group of mages standing in a special formation can use [Magic Link] to concentrate all their magic power on one designated person. Under the massive magic boost, the designated person can use high-ranked spells beyond their normal capabilities. Typically, the spell power of twelve fourth-order mages using [Magic Link] is almost equal to that of a fifth-order mage. 120 fourth-order mages using [Magic Link] could be almost equivalent to a single sixth-order Sanctuary mage C provided the Sanctuary mage stood still, of course. The rebel mage legion numbered over 3,000, and there were tens of thousands in the archer formation! With so many people using [Spirit Link] and [Magic Link]bined, wouldnt it be an easy task to take down a minuscule enemy like Nemesis? Of course, Su Yu realized this as well. A regr army was indeed a tough nut to crack. He couldnt help but shift his gaze towards the yer forces on both sides. yers were no doubt easy targets. After all, all of them were first-order and very frail. How about he take a swing at the yer forces? The yers on the rebel side, seeing the look in Su Yus eyes, immediately understood what he was thinking. Many yers, with grim faces, cried out to the sky, Boss Ke, please spare us! Boss Ke, we are counting on this battle to earn some merits, please have mercy! Absolutely, were pitiful enough already, please have mercy! Boss Ke Su Yu: Reflecting on it, the rebel-side yers hadnt won a single battle in the whole campaign, and received barely any rewards. Being swept off the battlefield by him add insult to injury. Forget it. Su Yu shifted his gaze back to the regr forces. No matter how tough the bone, someone needs to gnaw on it. He decided to attack while his current buffssted. Su Yu no longer hesitated and quickly darted towards the rebel regr forces. Hmmph! Seeking your own death! Upon seeing Su Yu charging his way, the general scoffed andmanded, Mage legion, archers, attack! Understood! As soon as the general gave the order, three arrows imbued with surging spiritual energy, arranged in a Ʒ shape, swiftly flew towards Su Yu, almost immediately reaching a point just a dozen meters in front of him. As for the mage legion, they initially cast a fourth-order lightning defense spell, [Lightning Barrier], to protect their formation, followed by a fifth-order fire control spell, [me Prison]. [me Prison] is a rare targeted spell. Once sessfully cast, no matter how fast Su Yu moves, even if he uses the sh Skill for teleportation, it can still hit him urately. But Su Yu was unconcerned. Upon realizing that the mage legion was casting [me Prison], he instantly thought of a counter strategy. He used the sh Skill to zip several dozen meters away in an instant, avoiding the three powerful arrows. Next, he activated the [Buoyant Ice] skill from his shoes. While quickly moving around in the sky to avoid subsequent arrows from the Archer formation, he condensed mana to cast a 20 times thick [Lightning Shield]. Buzz Five secondster, the ultra-thick [Lightning Shield] was sessfully formed. Simultaneously, a sixth-order spell, [me Prison], struck him, wrapping him in dense fire elementsyers over 3 meters thick. Su Yu couldnt even see the outside world. The dense fire elements collided with Su Yus [Lightning Shield], causing a harsh magical explosion. Still, thankfully, the damage from [me Prison] was not high and got easily blocked by Su Yus [Lightning Shield]. Then, Su Yu immediately used his [Advanced Schrs Badge] to break free from the control, sessfully escaping from the [me Prison]. Seeing Su Yu escape, the rebel mages werent too surprised. They werent optimistic that a single control spell would fully rein Su Yu in. The moment Su Yu broke free of their control, they immediately began casting another control spell: [Ice Coffin]. [Ice Coffin] is another rarely seen locked spell, and they wanted to see how many means Su Yu had to break free from control. But Su Yu didnt just stand there and take hits, and he wouldnt let the mage legion freely cast spells. After escaping from [me Prison], he took out the Vige Chiefs Staff, used two consecutive sh Skills to evade iing arrows from the archer formation and quickly moved to a location few dozen meters from the mage legion. But the mage legion paid him no heed. The legion was enveloped by a thick [Lightning Barrier], offeringplete safety. They were confident that Su Yu couldnt break the [Lightning Barrier] in a short time. So they didnt stop their casting, and continued throwing [Ice Coffin] at Su Yu. Seeing the reaction from the mage legion, Su Yu smirked. Come out, Diamond! The Lighthouse Sudden Chill suit on Su Yus body emitted blinding blue light. A brown gori over 30 meters tall appeared in front of Su Yu. Its iron fists, apanied by the sound of the rushing wind, mercilessly pounded the [Lightning Barrier]. Chapter 280: 280, Final Battle in Orleans City (3): Su Yu Breaks Down the Mage’s Army_1 Chapter 280: Final Battle in Orleans City (3): Su Yu Breaks Down the Mages Army_1 Bang! With an earthshaking roar, [King Kong]s fist, asrge as a small car, fiercely smashed into the [Lightning Barrier]. Yet, the [Lightning Barrier] remained undamaged, not even a ripple stirred on it, showing no sign of breaking. On the contrary, sparks generated by the barrier reacted and clung onto Kongs fist, scorching it and giving off an appetizing grilled meat aroma. Woo Kong whimpered, hopping to the side and tried to act cute and pitiful towards Su Yu. What Whats going on? Just Tier 4? The mages from the Mage Corps were in shock. Initially, they felt a little fear when they saw this thirty-meter-tall colossal creature. But when they discovered that this big guy was only Tier 4, their shock turned into disdain, recing all previous fear. Although the [Lightning Barrier] was characterized by its high magic resistance and weak physical resistance, the idea that a Tier 4 creature could break the [Lightning Barrier] was wishful thinking! With the physical attack power Kong just demonstrated, even if they stood still and let it pound for ten minutes, it wouldnt be able to shatter the [Lightning Barrier]. Did Nemesis summon this big thing just for fun? So, the Mage Corps ignored Kong and continued to use the [Ice Coffin] to lock down Su Yu. Su Yu of course understood that Kong was unable to break the [Lightning Barrier] because the Tier 4 gear he was wearing could only summon a Tier 4 creature. After the Mage Corps gathered a huge amount of magical power, their collective strength was already equivalent to a Tier 6 Sanctuary Mage! A [Lightning Barrier] cast by a Tier 6 Sanctuary Mage certainly could not be broken by a Tier 4 Kong. Yet Su Yu didnt mind, hemanded Kong to continue attacking the [Lightning Barrier]. Roar!!! Kong let out an enraged roar, its charred fists mming down once again on the [Lightning Barrier]. Bang! The fists struck the [Lightning Barrier] again, but the [Lightning Barrier] remained unscathed. In the Mage Corps, a Tier 2 Mage gaped at Kongs towering form, worriedly saying: Chief, should we take down this big guy first? A Tier 3 Mage standing next to him scoffed: No need! If it could break through the [Lightning Barrier], Ill call it daddy wait, what the hell! As the Tier 3 Mage spoke, Kong, ignoring the pain, firmlynded a third punch onto the [Lightning Barrier]. Unlike the previous two punches, the third punch caused the lightning surrounding the [Lightning Barrier] to violently shake. Almost instantly, the barrier cracked into several chunks, electrical charges dissolved into the air, and the [Lightning Barrier] was suddenly shattered! The scoff of the Tier 3 Mage was abruptly caught in his throat, his face turning crimson. Actually, the shattering of the [Lightning Barrier] was not due to Kongs merit, or because his third punch carried a shield-shattering attribute. It happened when Kong had just finished the second punch, and the Mage Corps became slightlycent, Su Yu shed behind Kong and activated the skill attached to his artifact, the [Moon God n Badge] [Moon God Descends]. ([Moon God Descends]: Summons a phantom of the Moon God to attack the enemy. The power of the Moon Gods phantom depends on the summoners strength, with a cooldown time of 24 hours.) The level of the Moon Gods phantom usually ranges from 0-2 levels higher than the summoner. (If the summoner is on the verge of leveling up, such as at level 59 or 69, the level of the Moon Gods phantom is the same as the summoners.) Like Tina, Su Yu is at level 75, and the level of the summoned Moon Gods phantom is 77. The purpose of Su Yu summoning [King Kong] just now was to use its massive body to obscure the action of summoning the Moon Gods phantom. As expected, the Mage Army was caughtpletely off guard. The Moon God Phantom was summoned, and itsnce, enveloped in a greyish light, swiftly stabbed the [Lightning Barrier], shattering it instantly. But just as the Moon God Phantom broke the [Lightning Barrier], the chief mage of the Mage Army waved his wand, and the fifth-level spell, [Ice Coffin], was released. Noticing the oing [Ice Coffin], Su Yu quickly used the [Ice Barrier] skill, allowing him to enter an [immune] state, free from any form of damage or control. The [Ice Coffin] fell on Su Yu, who had already activated [Ice Barrier], and the word immune popped up above his head. Then he deactivated [Ice Barrier], and used the [sh Skill], which had just cooled down, to instantly appear in the midst of the rebel Mage crowd. The group of Mages waspletely defenseless against Su Yu. He certainly wouldnt be polite with them, and directly released the fourth-tier spell C [Dragon Breath]. A giant ming dragon head formed above Su Yus head, and after a brief charging period, it spat out scorching Dragon Breath. The area within a 60-degree cone with a radius of 40 meters in front of him was covered by the breath. How could these second and third-rank Mages possibly withstand such damage? Roar! With the roar of the dragon, the fiery Dragon Breath swept the entire area, vaporizing all the Mages inside and burning them to ash. Su Yus game log also started to flood: Ding, you have sessfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (second rank)] and earned 100 military merits; Ding, you have sessfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (third rank)] and earned 1000 military merits; Ding, you have sessfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (second rank)] and earned 100 military merits; Ding, you have sessfully killed Just one use of Dragon Breath earned him 20,600 military merits! This means that in one strike, he killed at least dozens of rebel Mages. Furthermore, Su Yu did not stop there. He immediately activated the second skill of the [Moon God n Badge] C [Falling Stars]. A ck rift instantly tore open in the sky above the Mage Army, and arge number of miniature meteors began falling towards the ground. Upon seeing the meteors, the Chief Mage hurriedly cast a fifth-tier group defense spell C [Earth Barrier] in an attempt to block the [Falling Stars]. But under Su Yusmand, the Moon God Avatar rushed straight towards him, and one [Moon God Charge], took its pointednce dangerously close to his ear. In this life-and-death moment, the Chief Mage instantly converted the group defense spell [Earth Barrier] into a single-target defense spell [Earth God Shield], and applied it to himself. ng! Thence struck the [Earth God Shield], and due to the high physical resistance of the [Earth God Shield], it failed to pierce through at once. But Su Yus goal had been achieved. When the Chief Mage converted the group defense spell into a single-target spell, he essentially sacrificed the lives of all the other Mages to save his own. The massive wave of meteors crashed into the Mage Army unhindered. Virtually no Mage within the 80-meter radius could withstand it, and arge number of them perished. Chapter 282: 282, The Final Battle of Orleans City (5) Elves, Orcs (First Subscription Extra 2/5)_1 Chapter 282: The Final Battle of Orleans City (5) Elves, Orcs (First Subscription Extra 2/5)_1 Due to the arrival of these dozen or so high-ranking powerhouses, the Empires strongmen and the rebel forces stopped fighting and reformed into two groups standing off against each other. From Tinas perspective, many of the high-ranking powerhouses around her were not defeated, but they all suffered serious injuries. Some were covered in blood, some were half frozen, and some were surrounded by a dark aura, as if they were under some sort of curse. Tina had avoided injury in the recent battle and was in good shape. She took out a light blue bandage from her Space Ring, ready to heal herpanion next to her. At this point, Princess Alyssa descended from the top of the sky and floated at the forefront of the camp. She was gasping for breath and appeared to be running out of strength. There was a deep, bloody wound on her left leg. It revealed that her fight with T Yang was not going well. In terms of strength, Alyssa and T Yang were evenly matched. If she entered the mode of Bayana, the God of War, she could even have a slight edge. In terms ofbat experience, Alyssa fell far short of T Yang. T Yang was a true Seventh-Rank Peak powerhouse, honed through countless battles. His experience of fights with strongmen of the same rank (including being beaten by Xi Fan) was rich; Alyssa, in contrast, was elevated by an ancestor of her family. She had no high-levelbat experience at all. So, only half an hour into the fight, Alyssa was already injured while T Yang was still in good shape. Seeing the wound on Alyssas leg, Tina quickly flew towards her. After reaching a somewhat lower position than Alyssa, she used the light blue bandage to wrap her wound: Your Highness the Princess, this is a special bandage given to me by my father, it will not take long for you to heal after applying it. Thank you, Tina. Feeling the strong sense of water elementsing from her leg, the princesss expression softened considerably towards Tina. It made sense though, there was no contention between them aside from Nemesis. However, the Princess didnt have time to talk more with Tina. After thanking Tina, she fixed her gaze on the approaching group of high-ranking powerhouses: Michelle, you are here! These high-ranking powerhouses were led by Michelle Drank, the city lord of Pearl City, including three Sixth-Rank and thirteen Fifth-Rank powerhouses. Your Highness the Princess, Im here! chuckles Michelle. Then she flew towards Landilus with her subordinates: Duke Landilus, do you wee us? Of course, dear Lady Michelle. Landilus smiled, weing Michelles arrival. Alyssas expression changed slightly: Michelle, I didnt believe when Nemesis said you betrayed me at first, but it seems he was right from the beginning! Oh, my dear Princess, this cant be called betrayal. Michelle shook her forefinger with a smile, I am leading the people of Pearl City to resist the tyranny of the royal family, which is a just cause! How can sacrificing for a just cause be called betrayal? At the same time, she looked around Alyssa and asked curiously: Speaking of Nemesis, where is your little boyfriend? He didnt run on the eve of the battle, did he? Men really cant be relied on. Why dont you serve as my servant when youre captured? Alyssa knew that Michelle was trying to provoke her. But of course, she would not fall for it, instead coldly stated: Fortunately, Nemesis warned me early on that you would turn against me, so I was able to sessfully ask the Elven Regent for help. After saying this, Alyssa turned her head back and shouted in the direction of Orleans City: Your Majesty the Regent, its time for you to show up! Okay. Apanied by the loud voice of the Regent King, twelve elves emerged from the city. Among these twelve elves, aside from the Seventh-Rank peak Regent King, there was another Seventh-Rank elf, with the rest being Sixth-Rank Sanctuary-level powerhouses, almost all of them archers, druids, and assassins. The appearance of the Regent King and his subordinates immediately tipped the bnce on the field. The addition of a Seventh-Rank peak powerhouse was something the rebel forces didnt have the equivalent strength to deal with. If the rebels did not have any new Seventh-Rank powerhouse join, the Princess could easily win this battle. But neither Duke Landilus nor Anzu Seifer showed any signs of rm. Duke Anzu Seifer gave a respectful noble salute to the Regent King, saying: Your Majesty, it is an honor to meet you. Then he looked towards Alyssa: Your Highness the Princess, since Michelle is aware of your hidden strategy and she has joined our side, how could we be caught off guard by the arrival of the Regent King? Anzu Seifer calmly turned back towards their main camp, and loudly called out: High Priest Grizzle, Sword Saint Kugure of the Bloodthroat Tribe, and friends from the Lai Yin Empire and Wind Chime Empire, lets alle out together! Alright. Alright. The sounds came wave after wave from the main camp. Immediately after, arge group of powerhouses ascended from the camp. Alyssa estimated that there were over fifty of them! Among these fifty or so, two were the top powerhouses of the Orc Kingdom C High Priest Grizzle and the Bloodthroat Sword Saint Kugure. They both were Level 83 powerhouses, their fighting strength akin to Madeline of Forest City who had self-destructed. In addition, more than twenty were powerhouses sent by the Lai Yin Empire to provide support, with the leader being Thor, who had once helped Su Yu. Thor was also at Level 83, equivalent to the two orc powerhouses. The rest of the twenty or so powerhouses behind him included five Sixth-Rank and the rest were Fifth-Rank. The remaining thirty plus powerhouses belonged to the Wind Chime Empire and were led by Prince Gaven IV of Demacia. Among them, there were two Seventh-Rank powerhouses, with the rest being Fifth or Sixth-Rank. The appearance of these powerhouses immediately upset the bnce. Five Seventh-Rank powerhouses were not something the Regent King could handle. The face of the Elven Regent, Legs, turned very pale. But Alyssas eyes were filled with surging anger: Anzu Seifer, Landilus! You dare to collude with the Orcs! Have you forgotten the suffering the Orcs have brought to us humans? Humans and the Orc n were historical enemies, the kind that were irreconcble. She didnt expect the two Dukes to invite the orcs for the sake of dealing with her! Of course, I havent forgotten what you said. Landilus shrugged nonchntly, But these two are from the Bloodthroat Tribe, which has always been fairly friendly towards humans. Besides,pared to the suffering the orcs have brought to humans, the suffering your royal family has brought to the people would be even worse, wouldnt it! No more nonsense. Today is the day of your royal familys destruction! Joining forces with the more than fifty high-ranking powerhouses who just arrived, the two Dukes and everyone else pulled out their weapons and surrounded the Princess and the elves. Arge-scale battle was imminent! Chapter 283: 283, Battle of Orleans City (VI) Star Realm Cat, Dragon Race_1 Chapter 283: Battle of Orleans City (VI) Star Realm Cat, Dragon Race_1 The face of the elven Regent King, Legs, became especially solemn, but he did not panic excessively. For the letter delivered to him by Su Yu on Princess Alyssas behalf had mentioned C aside from them, Alyssa had prepared other trump cards. Alyssa threw a rest assured look at Legs and the other strong individuals under hermand. Then she calmly gazed at the two dukes in front of her and therge number of high-ranking enemies, and dered, You wouldnt naively think that aside from His Majesty the Regent King, I have no other backup measures prepared, would you? The imposing momentum of the two encroaching dukes stalled momentarily. Alyssa offered a faint smile, pulling out a fist-sized transparent crystal from her Space Ring. This crystal was deep blue in colour. Within the crystal were seven glowing points forming the shape of a spoon, it was very dazzling. Alyssa lightly tossed the crystal around in her hand, then hurled it up into the sky, shouting at the same time, Descend! Lady Erin! Not long after leaving Alyssas hand, the deep blue crystal pop shattered into countless pieces. These shards glimmered with light, sparkling like numerous fragments of stars. The seven glowing points, freed from the crystals restraint, radiated even more dazzling light! The fast-releasing Star Force from them, spreading out a blue [Star Realm Portal] with the seven points at its center. Meow With azy meow, a [Star Realm Cat] with fur ame with starlight walked out of the [Star Realm Portal]. This Star Realm Cat was not Morning Star, but Morning Stars mother Erin. Erin had an innocuous appearance and drifted leisurely mid-air, takingzy cat steps. Yet, her aura was exceedingly ominous! The energy radiating from her body had almost reached the level of Xi Fan, making her one of the most terrifying existences just below the God Level! After making her appearance, Erin first nced in the two dukes direction before swinging her gaze back onto Alyssa, Hello, Alyssa! Hello! Madam Erin! Alyssa hurriedly responded with respect. Erin nodded, Alyssa, Im here to help you deal with these pests. But beforehand, I need to give Morning Star to you first. After Erin finished speaking, a light blue cat egg, covered in star-pattern etchings appeared before Alyssa, Morning Star has matured and will hatch soon, Im leaving her in your care for the remaining days, you must look after her for me! I will, Lady Erin! Alyssa replied solemnly. Then, with a light flick of her hand, a light green portal simr to a Druids [Emerald Dream] appeared before her. She carefully ced Morning Stars egg into the portal. Su Yu, who was watching offline through the live broadcast, were taken aback by this sequence of events. No wonder Alyssa was looking at How to Raise a Kitten a few days ago. It turned out she was preparing to raise Morning Star in her kitten stage! During the Battle of Kaishi Town, Morning Star was forced to reincarnate back into her cat egg state due to Walnuts Rebirth Mark, and her hatching time had passed. It seemed that Morning Stars mother intended to leave Morning Star in Alyssas care. After all, the growth cycle of Star Realm Kittens was simply too long. Only with the enormous resources that the princess had could she grow faster. However, Su Yu had no time to think about this now. Half an hour of login prohibition was over, he quickly shut down theputer, grabbed the helmet, and sat on the sofa to re-enter the game. Above the sky of Orleans City. Upon the appearance of the Star Realm Cat, Erin, the two dukes deeply exchanged nces, both seeing a hint of That was close in each others eyes. They were aware of Morning Stars existence. They also knew that the princess had profound ties with the Star Race Cats, and they had even considered the possibility that the princess would invite Star Race Cats as reinforcements. They never thought that the princess would really call upon the cats to aid in battle! Fortunately, they had a contingency n for this scenario; otherwise, if a Star Realm Cat with power near to Xi Fans had arrived on the battlefield, the weing party would have been a crushing defeat! Duke Landilus took a deep breath, turning to face the northeast direction, Dragon Emperor, you once promised me that If the Star Realm Kittens appear, so will you. Its time for you to fulfill your promise! No sooner had Duke Landiluss words descended, the image of a gigantic dragon,parable in size to a small mountain and with dark painted scales, emerged in the sky to the northeast. Hehe, young man, even if you didnt ask, I would have appeared voluntarily. The voice of the ck Dragon echoed from afar, and its massive wings blotted out the sky. Roar! The resounding dragons roar swept across all, and both the NPC soldiers and yers alike were left swaying, temporarily losing their hearing. Outsider, leave our ne! Fury shot from the eyes of the ck Dragon, and its thunderous voice echoed through the sky. As the race with the greatest average strength within the main ne of the game, dragon children are born with the strength of the third rank, and if nothing unexpected happens, they would at least reach the sixth rank of Sanctuary when they mature. With great power,es great responsibility. With such potent force, the Dragon Race naturally has to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. The Dragon Race is mainly responsible for the safety of the main ne, to prevent invasions by other nes. (Of course, yers are exceptions. When the yers are born, they are marked with [Bernina Tide] by the vige head, and recognized as members of the main ne.) [Star Realm Kittens] live in another sub-ne called [Star Realm], and they are the objects the Dragon Race guards against strenuously. Worth mentioning is that the Hall of Reincarnation of the Pandamen Empire serves a simr function, keeping a constant eye on [Star Realm], [Void], [Abyss] and a few other sub-nes. Thats why the previous scene where Walnut impersonated a necromancer to ambush Morning Star urred. After receiving news about the arrival of species from the Star Realm, this ck Dragon, also known as the peak seventh rank Dragon Emperor Bahamut, agreed to Landiluss request and personally came to confront Morning Stars mother. Dragon Emperor Bahamut knew that Morning Stars mother was summoned by Alyssa and red at her fiercely. However, he also knew who Alyssas ancestors were. They werent someone he could afford to provoke. The only thing he could do was direct his fury towards Morning Stars mother, Foreigner, this is your final warning! Either you retreat back to the Star Realm now, or you risk being shredded into pieces by my ws! Meow Morning Stars mother arched her body, her fur standing on end. The enraged mother cat. Morning Stars mother knew that if she backed down now, Alyssa would certainly face defeat, and how could her daughter grow swiftly if Alyssa were defeated? For the sake of her daughters future, this great mother decided to fight! Hey there, big lizard! Lets take our fight outside the atmosphere! After Morning Stars mother finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of starlight and flew towards the outer atmosphere. Dragon Emperor Bahamut exhaled a hot breath from his nostrils, but offered no response. He ascended in silence, following Morning Stars mother into outer space. Chapter 284: 284, The Battle of Orleans City (7) The Village Chief is so Handsome!_1 Chapter 284: The Battle of Orleans City (7) The Vige Chief is so Handsome!_1 After Star Realm cat Alyssa led Dragon Emperor Bahamut away, Alyssas expression below began to turn serious. The Star Realm Cat and the Dragon Emperor have cancelled each other out, which means that we are once again in a huge disadvantage. And she doesnt have any cards left to y! That is to say, she cant turn this disadvantage around! The strongmen from the rebel side also realised this. Even without the incitement of the two Dukes, these 200-plus strongmen began to take immediate action, pressing against the Empires strongmen. The orc high priest took out his war drum and struck it, shouting something in orcish that humans cant understand. A thin red mist emanates from the drum and covers each of the surrounding high-ranking strongmen, providing them with additional strength, intelligence, speed, and other attributes; The orc Sword Saint unleashed the [Shadow Split]skill, splitting into three after some fluctuation, attacking the royal mage, Sharon, from three directions. One true form and two split formsplement each other, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false; The Demacia Prince [Gaven IV], with a wave of his hand, inserted a [Demacia Military g] into the center of the team, providing attack speed, strength, movement speed and other buffs to all friendly units; The [Thor] who had traded with Su Yu also burst forth in an instant. His ultimate skill [Lightning Whip] covered half of the sky, a massive forked lightning indiscriminately smashed down on the Empires camp. Facing such a surging attack, the morale of the Empires strongmen dropped to an all-time low. Just when they were on the verge of despair, each of them received a message from Alyssa: Hold on, everyone! Ill go to you after I deal with this big lizard. And dont worry, this big lizard is no match for me. Soon, Ill be able to repel it, all you have to do is hang on! Hang in there! Alyssas message pulled the strongmen of the Empire back from the brink of despair, and it also gave them a glimmer of hope. Even though everyone was clear that it was unlikely that Alyssa could deal with the Dragon Emperor in a short time, but since she said so, there was still hope for victory! Alyssa also said to the strongmen behind her, Everyone hold on! After we win this battle, there will certainly be a reward from our ancestor! Sharon, Rnd, Andrew, this may be your only chance to reach the peak of the seventh step in your lifetime! You must hold on. Sharon and the others nodded their heads in agreement. They were also clear that if they wanted to advance further, receiving guidance from the Guardian God was the only chance. A sense of determination shed in their eyes, and they responded in unison, All for the Empire! We are willing to fight for the Empire! We are willing to fight for the Empire! Other strongmen of the Empire also shouted one after another, reigniting their will to fight to the highest point. At this moment, the high-ranking rebels had quickly approached, and the strongmen from the Empire bravely met them. A major battle broke out again in the sky between the two sides. However, this battle was much more fierce than the one just now. Seventh rank strongmen were ok, some were injured, but none died. The fifth and sixth rank strongmen, on the other hand, were falling from the sky like dumplings, with a strongman dying every few seconds. And because of the Empires weakness, the proportion of strongmen from the Empire who died was even higher. The scene returns to Su Yu. By this time, Su Yu was already online, flying back into the sky from the rear resurrection point of the battlefield. He also received a piece of Alyssas message. But he was not optimistic about Alyssa being able to defeat Bahamut in a short time. The battle time of a seventh-rank high-ranking strongman is often calcted in days, and fighting for ten days and a half month is not strange at all. If Alyssa can really defeat Bahamut, by the time she defeats Bahamut, how many of the strongmen of the Empire will be left? Im afraid that by then, the fifth and sixth rankers will all be dead, leaving only a few naked seventh ranked! And if Alyssa cant beat Bahamut, or if she falls into a stalemate situation, ording to the current battlefield situation, the princess and Tina will both die in this battle! Su Yu definitely cant ept this! Maybe someone would ask: What can Su Yu, a pseudo-sixth rank forced up, do? Funnily enough, Su Yu actually has the ability to turn the situation around! He quickly flipped through his bag, and from the bottom of the bag, he pulled out a scroll C [Group Summoning Scroll]. [Group Summoning Scroll (Consumable)] Remaining use times: 1. Usage: yell The Vige Chief is the most handsome at the scroll! Effect: Summons [Vige Chief], [Jenny], and [Woodcutter Beru] to your side for one hour. Note: [Jenny]sbat desire drops 50% when she encounters a handsome male human; [Vige Chief] and [Woodcutter Beru] will asionally fight over jealousy, causing theirbat power to decrease by 30%. (Scroll expires in 346 days.) This scroll was a hidden reward that Su Yu obtained from the 50th quest line of the princess after some negotiations. Later on, Alyssa was likely too busy and didnt mention the vige chief again, and Su Yu also forgot to tell her about it. Now, the only key to victory is the vige chief, hopefully, he can turn the tide! The vige chief is really handsome! Su Yu raised the scroll high and shouted out loud. Su Yu had just finished his sentence when a bright blue light, like waves, quickly appeared on the scroll. A huge summoning circle appeared out of thin air under Su Yus feet, and three figures gradually solidified on the summoning circle. Meanwhile, in thousands of new novice viges, novice yers who had just entered the game were queuing up in the vige square to hand in quests. At this moment, the vige chief suddenly turned into a white light and disappeared without a trace. The novice yers on the scene were all stunned. Huh? Wheres the vige chief? Why did the vige chief suddenly disappear? a yer asked in panic. I dont know, Ive never heard of this happening before? another yer scratched his head. Could it be a bug? It cant be a bug. The government official website said that this is a game remodeled by the Singer Civilization from a broken world, so there are no bugs. So should we wait a bit longer? We can only wait. The Vige Chief and the other two quickly appeared in the summoning circle. The arrival of the Vige Chief and the others immediately attracted the attention of all the strongmen on the scene, and it even caused a brief pause in their intense fighting. Everyone turned their gazes towards the Vige Chief. Upon seeing the Vige Chiefs appearance, Anzu Seifers gaze hardened: Vige Chief of Sunny Wind Vige? How did you end up here? Like Alyssa, Anzu Seifer knew that there was this hidden strongman called the vige chief, but did not know his real identity, let alone expect him to appear here. As for Alyssa, she was overjoyed! Through perception, she found that not only the Vige Chief is a seventh-rank strongman, the two people next to the Vige Chief are also seventh-rank! With the sudden appearance of three seventh-rank strongmen on our side, it can be described as right when we needed it the most! Chapter 285: 286, The Battle of Orleans City (Eight) A God Level Power Appears! _1 Chapter 285: 286, The Battle of Orleans City (Eight) A God Level Power Appears! _1 [Vige Chief] remains standing with a smile in the vige square; [Jenny] holds a mirror in her hand, as if applying makeup; [Lumberjack Beru] has a bundle of firewood over his shoulder and an ax at his waist, looking as if he has just returned from chopping wood in the mountains. Suddenly summoned, they assess the high-ranking powerhouses on the screen, taken aback for a moment. However, after seeing Princess Alisha and the two Dukes, they quickly recognize where they are. Sir Mayor Su Yu wanted to exin. But the Vige Chief waved his hand to interrupt him: No need to exin, we know what to do. Then, all three turn their gaze towards the Orc High Priest and the Orc Sword Saint in the crowd, eximing in unison, Orcs?! The two Orcs awakened deep-seated memories for the trio. This brings us to [Bernina Tide]. A thousand years ago, Orcs invaded and upied arge part of the human world, turning humans into ves or, at best, second-ss citizens. It wasnt until the rise of Berninas generation that Bernina Tide, Kevin Forsythia, and Bard sessively reached the eighth level,pletely driving the Orcs out of human territory and reestablishing the Chinese server for the humans on the ruins. Yet, a thousand yearster, the new generation of humans had forgotten the war and even began to venerate the Orcs culture of strong prey on the weak and survival of the fittest. But for elders and predecessors like Bernina, this it was a bitter grudge that couldnt be forgotten in a lifetime, a painful disgrace. So when they saw the Orcs reappear on humannd and, even more clearly, that someone among their fellow humans was colluding with the Orcs to harm their brothers, their deeply buried painful memories were awakened! The Vige Chief, Beru, and Jennys eyes burst with an azure light, and the figures of the three began to merge! During the merging process, a dazzling blue light of indescribable brilliance, hundreds of times brighter than sunlight, exploded from the center of the trio. This blue light carried an intense heat. Being too close, Su Yu instantly felt as if he was going to be roasted, and quickly moved away from the three and activated his [Lightning Shield] for defense. Other high-ranking figures in the sky also stopped temporarily, each defending against the blue light while quickly strategizing in their minds about what was happening. Without a doubt, the arrival of the three vigers was the biggest variable of the day, and judging by the intensity of the blue light, this variable was far more than just three level seven innocents! Time passed by, and the area where the three vigers were continued to explode with dazzling blue light. Even top-tier and longest-living old beasts like the Star Realm Cat and the Dragon Emperor couldnt decipher what was happening at the center of the blue light, so they could only wait with serious expressions. Alisha was quietly catching her breath to recover her excessively-used magical power. She wanted to ask Su Yu about the situation but due to the intense blue light affecting her senses, for a time, she couldnt locate Su Yu. About five minutester, the blue light finally diminished and gradually dissipated. Once the blue light hadpletely faded, the three vigers were gone. In their ce, a young woman with light blue skin, light blue hair, and light blue pupils emerged. The young woman looked towards Tina, revealing a kind smile that contradicted her appearance. Su Yu felt a sense of recognition the moment he saw this woman. Now, seeing her smile at Tina, Su Yu instantly recognized Tan: this woman was almost an exact match for Tina! Not only were their eyes, lips, and smiles simr, but their bodynguage was also nearly the same; besides the differences in skin and hair color, they were as identical as if carved from the same mold! Dragon Emperor Bahamut, the most widely experienced, was taken aback when he saw this woman. His pupils contracted sharply, and even flight became shaky. BelBernina Tide? Are you really Bernina Tide? Arent you dead? cried the Dragon Emperor in urgency. WhatWhat? Bernina Tide? All the high-ranking powerhouses present were deeply shocked! The two dukes, in particr, trembled violently. The timing of the two dukes to ignite the rebellion was quite clever. 50 years ago, the God-Level powerhouse of Wind Chime Kingdom, Bard, identally discovered the [Shining New World], an extraordinary world hiding countless treasures. Because the main world had been peaceful for a long time, except for the two God-Level deep-sea beasts in the deep sea, all the other 10 God-Level powerhouses went to explore the [Shining New World]. But after exploring for 10 years, one day, they suddenly found they couldnt return to their main bodies! Until now, they still hadnt figured out why. Up until now, no God-Level powerhouse had been able to return to the main world, and perhaps, they could never return! With the absence of the tiger in the mountains, the monkey is the king. With the eighth level powerhouses unable to return, the ambitions of the peak seventh level powerhouses became unstoppable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two dukes dered rebellion and now, between them, they had almost wiped out the royal family and upied the whole empire. But with the emergence of Bernina Tide, the situation took a massive turn! Her emergencepletely unsettled the bnce. If war power were to be quantified, an initial eighth level God-Level powerhouse possesses around 3.3 times thebat power of Xi Fan. And for an old monster like Bernina Tide who had risen to godhood thousands of years ago, no one knew how far shede in her godly journey. To put it bluntly, she could likely defeat all the powerhouses present! Thus, none of the powerhouses present dared to act rashly, especially those on the side of the rebels, who grew ghostly pale and frantically thought of countermeasures. Bernina Tide, however, paid them no mind and instead called Tina over with a kind smile, Tina,e here. Upon hearing the summons, Tina looked to Su Yu, and upon seeing him nod affirmatively, she hesitantly flew to Berninas side and bowed respectfully, Ancestor, I never imagined Id meet you here. Have youbeen resurrected? Not quite, Tina. Bernina Tide looked approvingly at her descendant, Ive only partially awakened, and I wont be able to maintain this state for long. So, Ill take this opportunity to pass on my legacy to you. With that, she lifted a finger, and a light blue light flew from her fingertip, sinking into Tinas forehead. Tina felt a vast amount of knowledge flooding into her mind. The volume of knowledge was so enormous that it felt like trying to forcibly fill a small pond with water from the sea. Unable to hold on for more than a few seconds, Tina fainted as her eyes rolled back. Chapter 286: 286, Battle of Orleans City (End) Two Dukes Die_1 Chapter 286: Battle of Orleans City (End) Two Dukes Die_1 Noticing Tina had fainted, Su Yu swiftly flew over to catch her, just in time to prevent her from falling from the sky. Berninas kindly voice came from behind Su Yu, Tina momentarily cannot ept all my inheritance. She just needs some rest By the way, youre Nemesis, arent you? Su Yu heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and replied, Yes, I am Nemesis. Bernina examined Su Yu up and down. She looked a bit like a mother-inw appraising her son-inw. Then she kindly said, Youre a good young man, and you pair well with Tina How about this,e find me in Sunny Wind Vige once you reached the sixth tier. Ill give you some good stuff. Ding, you have triggered the legendary hidden mission: [Berninas Favour]. Mission requirement: Level up to 75 (sixth tier), go to the Newbie Vige to see [Vige Chief]. Mission reward: ? Thank you, Madam Bernina! Su Yu happily responded. Being a top-tier entity in this world, even a casual reward from Bernina would be a treasure to yers, so he would certainly not decline. Bernina nodded, then turned to the group of the two dukes. Her gaze gradually became icy: Now, we can talk business. Upon noticing Berninas frosty gaze, the orc chief priest Grizzly and Sword Saint Kugel Bloodthroat simultaneously half-kneeled in mid-air and shouted aloud: Your Excellency Bernina, please forgive us for this intrusion into human territorialnds. As long as you forgive us, we promise that we will never step into the human world in this lifetime! Toote. Bernina slightly shook her head and snapped her fingers with her left hand. Bang! Bang! Two loud noises urred as the orc chief priest and the Sword Saint exploded into two clouds of blood, instantly perishing. Nearby powerful individuals trembled simultaneously, disbelievingly watching the scene. Two seventh-tier, almost peak, powerhouses were executed without a chance to fight back; this was too terrifying! As for you two. Berninas icy eyes swept over the two Dukes, You actually dared to collude with the orcs, youre quite bold! Your Excellency Bernina. The two Dukes also immediately kneeled down, trembling with fear, We were wrong, please spare us! If you can spare us, we are willing to offer you everything we have! Heh, I have no interest in your rubbish. Bernina disdainfully nced at them, then looked at all the humans present, I warn you, dont collude with the orcs! Otherwise, youll pay the same price as these two! Once again Bernina snapped her fingers, there were two more bangs, and the two Dukes, Landilus and Anzu Seifer, exploded into two clouds of blood, bing history. Watching her enemies be vaporized, Alisha was slightly dazed: Is is it over? The deaths of the two Dukes announced that the Empire side hadpletely won this war, T Yang, Thor, Gaven IV, and other foreign powerhouses also had no reason to continue fighting. Rnd, Sharon, and other seventh-tier powerhouses from the Empire side exchanged nces, all feeling a sense of unreality. Originally, they were all prepared for a big battle, but now it seemed it was about to hastily conclude. Bernina did not pay any mind to these powerhouses feelings; she looked towards the Star Realm cat Erin, Little one, you should go back too, right? Donte here again. Rest assured, Your Excellency Bernina, I promise I wonte back. Erin knew that Bernina wanted to spare her and heaved a sigh of relief. She opened the Star Realm portal and hurriedly retreated into it. Bernina nced at all the high-ranking elites present and said, Alright, I have done all that needs to be done. Resolve your own conflicts amongst yourselves. I am going to kill a couple of the Orc Empires high-ranking individuals to serve as a warning Alyssa, Nemesis, make sure to take care of Tina. Rest assured, Madam Bernina. Alyssa and Su Yu immediately responded. Hmm. Bernina nodded, transformed into a blue ray of light heading north, and disappeared over the horizon in an instant. After Bernina left, the remaining high-ranking elites were left speechless for a long time. Down below, the rebel army was also in silence. With their Dukes dead, what could they continue to fight for? Therefore, the rebel army gave up their siege and slowly began withdrawing towards their base. T Yang certainly knew that the tide had turned. However, he did not show any signs of discouragement, but instead, he cheerfully said to the princess, Princess Alyssa, the two dukes who colluded with the orcs have received their deserved punishment. But our emperor once said, A regime that stands against the people is bound to be overthrown by the people. Therefore, we are bound to meet again on the battlefield. Goodbye, Princess Alyssa. After this, he and Thor, along with their subordinates, quickly retreated. Alyssa watched T Yangs retreating figure with anger. She very much wanted to stop these people from the Lai Yin Empire, but she did not have the power to do so and could only watch as they left. The powerhouses of the Wind Chime Empire, just like T Yang, left a polite word or two before quickly leaving, and the Princess did not send anyone to stop them. As for the remaining over a hundred high-ranking rebels, led by their three seventh-tier powerhouses, they wisely surrendered to the princess. Alyssa didnt say anything and directly epted their surrender. After all, the Goldfinch Empire was in shambles. They simply couldnt afford to continue infighting. In the heyday of the Empire, there were over a thousand high-ranking individuals above the fifth-tier, but now, there werent even 300 C they simply couldnt afford any more losses. After the high-ranking rebels surrendered, this battle ultimately ended with the victory of the Empire side! But strangely, looking at the silhouette of the Princess in the sky, Su Yu felt that she did not seem very happy, her face clouded with faint sadness. Perhaps she is troubled with ruling the nation. After all, the current state of the Empire is a disaster. Any normal person would feel overwhelmed. Su Yu spected in his mind. But now, the Princess had a lot to deal with, so Su Yu did not bother her. I will wait until Alyssa has some free time in the evening, then Ill go and talk to her about her troubles. Su Yu thought privately. After bidding farewell to the Princess, Su Yu, while the buff was still active for a few minutes, carried Tina back to her house andid her on the bed in her bedroom. After leaving Tinas house, Su Yu stretchedzily. The main plot this timepared to his past life had veered off considerably. In the past, the plot resulted in Tina summoning a meteor to devastate the enemys base, and in this life, it was Bernina who appeared and executed the two Dukes. He didnt know if future storyline updates might be significantly affected due to this. Regardless, the main plot was temporarily concluded, and Su Yu could finally rx a little. Chapter 287: What should I do next? _1 Chapter 287: What should I do next? _1 Stepping out of Tinas house and into the street, Su Yu found himself momentarily lost. Now that the main plot has paused, what should his next move be? Should I go back to my territory and continue refining materials? he thought to himself. Just then, he heard a ding sound indicating a private message in the game. Opening the private chat interface, he found that it was two messages from [Snow Leopard]. Snow Leopard: Nemesis, how much mission rewards did you get this time? Snow Leopard: Mr. Meng asked me to ask, he apparently wants to face the gap. Su Yu: [ck man question mark emoji]What? The rewards have been distributed? Snow Leopard: Yeah, havent you imed yours? Su Yu: Uh no, I havent. He nced at his task bar. The 75th mission of the [Goldfinch Empire] in his task menu still had to bepleted. He probably needed to see Alyssa again to receive the formal reward. Snow Leopard: Well if you havent imed it yet, its no big deal. Just tell us when you do, so that they can drool over it. Su Yu: Sure. Snow Leopard: Also, youve earned quite a lot of Military Merits in this campaign, right? Make sure to redeem them quickly, they automatically expire after seven days. Su Yu: Understood. After ending the private chat, Su Yu summoned Dima and began walking down the street. Snow Leopards reminder brought to his attention that he still had a lot of Military Merits to exchange for items. ording to the Military Merit redemption list posted on the forum, there was nothing he could exchange for at the Quartermasters that would increase his personal strength. However, he could still exchange them for high-value items to improve the overall strength of mankind. The journey was a little boring as Dima, as much as it understood human nature, couldnt carry a conversation. So Su Yu tuned in to the guild channel, nning to chat and shoot the breeze with his guild members. His guild now maintained around 2000 members, without expanding too much. The guild members, under Swifts guidance, were responsible for the management and operation of the entirety of Aphi City, each managing a certain area. In their spare time, the guild members would alsoplete missions and level up in the monster areas, just like other yers. Despite limited time for leveling up, they had money! The generouspensation provided by Su Yu, now up to 8 spiritual energy coins per hour, meant that they could earn 64 spiritual energy coins for 8 hours of work a day C more than double what other level 20 yers make! With suchvishpensation, their equipment was much better than other yers of the same level, thus increasing their leveling up efficiency. This time all the guild members basically joined in the main storyline. Now, they were discussing the mission rewards in the guild channel. Neon Nuclear Wastewater: Haha, Im rich! This mission reward gave me 10800 experience points, a green skill book, and a blue 21-level bow! [Biliang Cloud Piercing Bow (Rare)] (Click to view attributes). Alcohol Expert on Plum Blossoms: What? Over ten thousand experience? Why did I only get 5000? And the equipment they gave me is also green. Neon Nuclear Wastewater: Haha, maybe I contributed more. Meow Sauces Husband: Envious. Nunchaku Fox: Same here. Su Yu: Im envious as well, I havent received any rewards yet. Neon Nuclear Wastewater: Neon Mutant Man: Nunchaku Fox: Soon, lines and lines of ellipsis began to quickly flood the guild channel. Neon Nuclear Wastewater: [Old man, subway, mobile phone emoji]Boss Ke, can you stop joking? The picture of your legendary essory is still up on the official forum! Average Neon Godzi: Exactly, you already have three legendary essories, why do you care about our rewards? Su Yu: Haha, just joking, but I really havent received my mission reward. Su Yu: Im almost at the Quartermasters now, nning to exchange all my Military Merits for tangible items. Does anyone want anything they dont have enough Military Merits for? I can exchange them first and we can trade with spiritual energy coinster. Neon Nuclear Wastewater: Boss Ke, youre at the Quartermasters already? Didnt you watch the guild channel just now? Su Yu: I didnt, what happened? Neon Nuclear Wastewater: [Facepalm emoji]Nevermind. You should know once you get there. Su Yu: By then, Su Yu had arrived at the armory area, not far from where the Quartermaster was. However, upon arriving, Su Yu immediately understood what Neon Nuclear Wastewater meant. The open ground in front of the armory was packed with yers, a ck mass of people. The Quartermaster himself was swallowed up in the great sea of the masses. At least a thousand people were crowded around the Quartermaster, standing closely together in seven to eightyers of circles. Although one could open the [Exchange List] and get whatever they want within 40 meters of the Quartermaster, the crowd was just too huge! At this rate, it would take at least an hour just to squeeze in to exchange items. Su Yu gave a bitter smile, preparing to temporarily leave ande backter when there were fewer people. However, the yers queuing up noticed Su Yu. A few of them waved at him and called out loudly: Boss Ke, are you also here to exchange items? With a smile, Su Yu answered: Yeah, but there are too many people, Ille backter! That wont do! These yers quickly ran over to block Su Yu: Your time is too valuable. How can we let you waste it? Then these yers yelled at the crowd, Make way for Boss Ke. Let him exchange his items first! What? Boss Ke is here? A murmur rippled through the crowd, and many people turned to look at Su Yu delightedly. Paying their respects, the yers in front of Su Yu squeezed together, creating a narrow passage for him. Through this passage, he could directly enter the area within 40 meters of the Quartermaster. This wont do, I dont want to be the privileged sort. Su Yu wanted to decline. This isnt about privilege, Boss Ke. A yer beside him immediately chimed in: Youve made such a great contribution to mankind, this is what you deserve! Exactly! If you save time to take another Spiritual Spring Eye, it will contribute more to mankind. Whats our little effort inparison? Right, Boss Ke. Everyone has moved aside, hurry up and get in! Dont reject everyones good intentions. The surrounding yers urged him on. Well alright then. Seeing everyones enthusiasm, Su Yu stopped declining and walked towards the Quartermaster along the path they had created. Chapter 288: 288, Tina good girl! _1 Chapter 288: Tina good girl! _1 Once Su Yu got within 40 meters of the quartermaster, hemunicated with him, asking to open the military merit exchange interface. Soon, a list of military merit exchange items appeared before him. The items on the exchange list were divided into five categories: [Equipment], [Potions], [Items], [Special Items], and [Pet Eggs]. The cheapest item under the [Potions] category was the [Beginner Mana Potion], which only required 10 military merits. More expensive things were the [Heavenly Potion], [Super Speeding Potion], [Advanced Health Recovery Potion], etc., with prices ranging from 100 to 1,000. All the [Equipment] listed were of the first stage. White-quality equipment cost an average of 100 military merits, green cost 300, blue cost 900, and purple cost 2,700. The top-ranked yers had twenty to thirty thousand military merits. It seemed that they could exchange for a few purple equipment pieces through this battle. The [Pet Eggs] category offered a blind draw lottery, with each draw costing 500 military merits, or ten draws for 4,500 military merits. There was no guarantee in the ten draws, but there was a roughly 1% chance of getting an epic quality pet, a 10% chance for a blue one, and 39% for a green one. The Sky Dragon and other lucky yers would probably like this. There were all sorts of odds and ends in the [Items] category, including monster materials, fur material for crafting equipment, ores, medicinal herbs, and more. None of them were very expensive. However, when Su Yu saw the [Special Items] category, he was a bit startled. If he remembered correctly, there wasnt this category in the exchange list picture posted on the forum, right? With curiosity piqued, he opened this category. He found that there was only one item avable for exchange in the [Special Items] category C [Tinas Blood]. [Tinas Blood (Consumable)] When used on an item, it elevates that item to gold quality with a 100% chance. Note: The higher the rarity and level of the item being elevated, the lower the elevation chance, down to a minimum of 1%. Remark: Divine Bloodline, terrifying as such. There was a small note next to [Tinas Blood]: It can be exchanged for 1,000 military merits per drop, with no upper limit to the number of exchanges. This reward is only visible to the yer [Nemesis]. Su Yu was shocked: !!! He never expected to find [Tinas Blood] here! Moreover, there was no limit to its exchange! He should have collected more military merits on the battlefield if hed known earlier! However, upon calming down, he quickly figured out where this blood came from. This must be a benefit Tina had arranged discreetly for him. In the past, whenever Tina got injured, Su Yu was always there to collect her blood. All of these gestures were seen by Tina. Tina knew that Su Yu wanted her blood but couldnt give it to him directly. As themander of the army, Tina must have instructed the quartermaster to modify the merit list, adding her blood to it and limiting it to an exchange only Su Yu could make. It gave Su Yu an indirect channel to attain her blood, and it was only today that Su Yu found out about it. Thank you, Tina, Su Yu silently expressed his gratitude in his mind. What a considerate girl she was! He vowed to make it up to her if given the chance! Currently, Su Yu had 228,000 military merits. Without hesitation, he used all his military merits to exchange for [Tinas Blood], receiving 228 drops in total. At the same time, he received a system message, informing him that these 228 drops of [Tinas Blood] had arrived in his mailbox. He wondered how many drops in total Tina had prepared. As for the remaining 1,000 or so military merits, he casually exchanged for some potions and nned to leave them in the guild warehouse. Afterpleting the exchange, Su Yu walked towards the crowd outside the warehouse with a smile on his face. He was extremely satisfied with this exchange! 228 drops of [Tinas Blood]! With the Sky Dragons luck, this could morize two or three pieces of his gear, especially the [Moon God n Badge], a top-tier essory. If he could bring it into reality, his fighting ability would surely double! Originally, he wanted to help the surrounding yers exchange for some purple equipment and potions, but it seemed he would have to apologize to them. Seeing the joyous expression on Su Yus face, the surrounding yers chuckled and said: Boss Ke, judging by your look, you must be very satisfied with this exchange, arent you? Very satisfied, Su Yu smiled and nodded: Much more satisfying than Id anticipated!. Boss Ke, what did you exchange for? Show us! another yer asked. Um no. Su Yu shook his head. Only he and Sky Dragon knew about the morizing effect of [Tinas Blood], not even Snow Leopard knew about this, and he had also told Sky Dragon to keep it a secret. yers could potentially upgrade to the seventh or even eighth stage in thete game, but due to her status as an indigenous being, Tina could possibly reach the seventh stage, but breaking through to the eighth was almost impossible. He didnt want to regreting home one day to find that Tina had turned into a bloody Tina after the news of [Tinas Blood] Can morize Gear got out. Moreover, Su Yu was also wary of the darker side of the yers. If this news leaked out, it was highly likely that Tina would be attacked towards thete game. Goodbye, everyone! I have to go now! Su Yu waved goodbye to the yers and quickly departed from the warehouse area by using the [sh Skill] twice in session. On Red Maple Street next to the armory, Su Yu found a mailbox and securely put the 228 droplets of [Tinas Blood] into his backpack. Afterward, he sent a private message to Sky Dragon: Sky Dragon, [House of Warm Wind] tavern,rge map coordinates (251, 164), need to talk to you. Sky Dragon: Tavern? Are you inviting me to a room? Im underage, you know. Su Yu almost fell off his horse. How did Sky Dragon, who was so young, know about these things? Su Yu: Its a tavern, not a hotel. Its purely for drinking, no amodation. Sky Dragon: No amodation and you still want to go? Su Yu: Sky Dragon: Just kidding [smiley face emoji]. On my way. Su Yu reached the [House of Warm Wind] tavern ahead of Sky Dragon. After entering the tavern, he ordered a pot of wine and a dish of fennel beans, as usual. He then thought for a moment and ordered a ss of strawberry juice and a dish of fennel beans for Sky Dragon. The tavern owner was aware of Su Yus routine. He just smiled and went to prepare the food in the kitchen without saying anything. Shortly after the two piles of crispy fried fennel beans were served, Sky Dragon arrived at the tavern riding the Howling Moon Wolf, Snowy. Whats up? Upon entering the tavern, Sky Dragon jumped onto a bar stool. She picked up a fennel bean, popped it into her mouth, and started chewing. She took a sip of her strawberry juice and let out a satisfied sigh. This time I need your help to morize my equipment, Su Yu smiled. Oh? You got some more [Tinas Blood]? Correct. How many this time? A total of 228 drops. 228 drops? Thats not a small amount! Sky Dragon was a bit surprised. 228 drops, or 228 ml C Could Nemesis have coaxed Tina into a blood drive? But this was none of her business. She nodded and said: Okay, Ill help you morize your gear. Its time to show off my lucky moments!. Go for it, Sky Dragon! Su Yu cheered, sending a morization Commission to her. Chapter 289: 289. Tina enters the real world? _1 Chapter 289: 289. Tina enters the real world? _1 Sky Dragon was still in high spirits this time. After using 65 drops of [Tinas Blood], a dazzling golden light burst from the [Gods Tribe Badge], and the equipments border was ted with a very pleasing gold color. It worked! Su Yu exhaled. The weight that hung in his chest finally settled down. The [Gods Tribe Badge] was his strongest gear at the moment. With this equipment, the safety level of his nned Skuru star trip had improved significantly. After all, going to the Skru Star isnt like a game where you can respawn. Death there is real, so thorough preparation is necessary. After the sessful gilding, Sky Dragon pped her hands with a smug expression: A 1% chance in 65 tries seems finebut Nemesis, may I ask you a question? Sky Dragon stared at Su Yu with her clear, big eyes. Whats your question? Its about Tina. Sky Dragon rested her left hand on her cheek and asked slowly: Tinas blood can gild equipment. Can Tina gild herself with her own blood and enter the real world in some strange way? Tina gilding herself? Su Yu was stunned. He hadnt thought about this possibility before. He had never heard of NPCs from the game in his previous life being able to enter Blue Star. Professions with pets like [Archer] and [Summoner] could summon their pets in reality, but these pets were merely illusions made of spiritual energy, and not physical entities. But the fact that there were no NPCs entering Blue Star in his previous life doesnt guarantee that its 100% impossible. Perhaps this feature just wasnt discovered by the yers of the previous world. Moreover, Tina does have her uniqueness. Due to her divine bloodline, her body is filled with golden blood. What if she really could leave the game world? If she truly could, that would be amazing! She might even have some yer attributes, such as being able to respawn after dying on Blue Star Thinking of this, Su Yu nodded to Sky Dragon, Ive never thought about thisBut if I have the opportunityter, Ill definitely give it a try! Alright. Sky Dragon took a sip of strawberry juice. However, she didnt swallow the juice. Instead, she just held it in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out. It seems that Tina really might be able to enter the real world. If Tina enters the real world, it would surely benefit mankind. She could help fight against the aliens. But After Tina enters the real world, wouldnt she have to live with Nemesis? How could she ept that? And her advantage would be lost. Sky Dragon swallowed the strawberry juice in her mouth and stared at Su Yu: Nemesis, where is your home? My home is at 19 Berglit Street in Goldfinch City. Keerderon gave me a house when I was doing the main storyline Im asking about your home in reality! The little girl was a bit agitated. What are you asking this for? Su Yu was wary. Otherwise, should I move in with you? Sky Dragon snuggled up to Su Yus arm, ying the damsel in distress. If she could live with Nemesis before Tina entered the real world, she wouldnt have to fear Tina! Su Yu withdrew his arm from her embrace without changing his expression: No. Why?! Because youre underage and I dont want to get taken in by the police. Su Yu drained his cup of Dew Wine: Even if you were of age, it still wouldnt be okay. Snow Leopard tried to get his sister to move in with me, but I refused them. His sister is 22. Su Yu said this to divert Sky Dragons attention. Sure enough, Sky Dragon was sessfully distracted. Snow Leopard?! Fury flickered in her eyes. How dare he?! Still, he had the audacity to steal the Chinese cabbage from her garden? Im going to confront him right now! Sky Dragon jumped back, slid away quickly from the bar, and then summoned the Howling Moon Wolf Snowy. Snowy, lets go! Aoow~ Snowy let out a howl, sped away with Sky Dragon, and disappeared at the end of the road. Su Yu: Well, let Snow Leopard deal with this. After settling the bill with the bars owner, Su Yu rode Dima towards Tinas house. He was still pondering over the question that had been raised earlier C assuming Tina really could enter reality, how would she do it? After much thought, Su Yu could only think of one possibility C Tina bing one of the talents in his territory, then the talent panel would disy [Golden Legend], and finally, through some summoning ritual, Tina would be summoned into reality. However, in order to make Tina one of the talents of his territory, he would have to wait until the end of the first update, after Tinas mission wasplete. It wasnt something he could try now. Better leave it forter. Su Yu sighed. Upon arriving at Tinas house and entering her bedroom It seemed that Tina had felt Su Yus arrival. She slowly opened her eyes. However, due to her mind overflowing with knowledge, her body was somewhat out of control, so she didnt get out of bed. Nemesis, youre here! Tina announced with a warm smile on her face. Im here, Tina. Su Yu sat on the edge of the bed, gently caressing her long hair: I saw the blood you ced in the military depot, and Ive already exchanged some. Thank you, Tina! Youre wee. Tina smiled, This is all blood from my injuries during my daily training with the knight group. I saved some because I knew you liked it. Im d you can use it. Such a considerate girl! Su Yu silently praised her in his heart, then casually asked, How much blood did you save? Tina tilted her head and thought for a bit: Probably more than 600 drops. Su Yu: Tinaughed, Im sure you havent exchanged all 600 drops, right? We will assist the princess in reiming her lost territories and resist foreign invasions in the uing period. If you perform well in the uing wars, I will give you the rest. OK, Tina! Su Yu, excited, held Tinas hand tightly. Meanwhile, on the walls of Orleans City. Snow Leopard was directing NPC soldiers to clean up the battlefield and capture prisoners of war. This was one of his ways of obtaining military merits. At this time, he spotted a little girl dressed in a red leather outfit on a not too distant parapet. The little girl held a bow and arrow, and its sharp and cold tip was pointed at him. Sky Dragon? What do you need from me? Snow Leopard was taken aback. The level ranking of Sky Dragon has always been among the top five in the Archers list, and she was also very prominent in the total level ranking. He recognized her at a nce. But he didnt have much social contact with Sky Dragon. Besides, the little girl now looked zingly angry, as if he owed her several thousand spiritual energy coins and hadnt paid them back. Snow Leopard, Ill ask you. Sky Dragon tightened her grip on her bow and arrow: Do you know Nemesiss real-world address and want your sister to live with him? Chapter 290: 290, if you had to choose between me and Tina, who would you choose?_1 Chapter 290: if you had to choose between me and Tina, who would you choose?_1 Yeah, well, what about it? Snow Leopard admitted honestly. He had intended for his sister Snow Fall to look after Nemesis meals and daily life because every single minute and second of Nemesis time was precious. He shouldnt waste this valuable time on chores like cooking, washing dishes, or taking out the trash. As for whether anything would happen when a man and woman lived together well, that was beyond his control. How could you! Nemesis is my boyfriend, how could you send another woman to his house?! Unable to suppress her anger, Sky Dragon initiated her skill [Double Arrow Shot]. Two arrows left the bowstring with a swish sound and flew towards Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard, a Druid, switched to his [Bear] form quickly, activating his skill [Iron Fur]. ng! ng! The two arrows hit Snow Leopards head as if they had struck a steel te, causing sparks to fly before falling to the ground. They didnt prate his flesh like they would have if they hit a body. Snow Leopards health bar only dropped by about 4%. Ignoring these, he opened so his private chat window to send a message to Su Yu: Sky Dragon said youre her boyfriend? Youve deceived an underage girl of 14 to be your girlfriend? I didnt know you were such a Nemesis! Su Yu: Su Yu: Youve misunderstood, theres nothing like that. When Sky Dragon said she wanted to be my girlfriend four yearster, I just casually agreed. After all, no one knows what will happen four yearster With a fair amount of text, Su Yu finally rified the rtionship between him and Sky Dragon. He also somewhat regretted it. If hed known, he wouldnt have agreed to Sky Dragon; it wouldnt have led to all this trouble now. After reading Su Yus private message, Snow Leopard nodded in understanding of the ins and outs of the matter. During his chat with Su Yu, he took a few more arrows from Sky Dragon, his health dropping to 70%. However, his [Berserk Recovery] skill activated, and the red light surged on his bear body, restoring his health to full. Alright, I got it, Snow Leopard smiled. I wont send my sister to live with Nemesis any longer. Is that good now? Anyway, Nemesis himself didnt agree, so this wasnt much of a concession. Hmm, thats better, Sky Dragon huffed, retracting her bow and arrows. But then she seemed to think of something else, turning her eyes and saying: Or could you tell me Nemesiss address in real life? Ill forgive you if you do. Well Snow Leopard reflexively wanted to refuse. Nemesis address was a state secret. How could he casually leak it and cause unnecessary trouble for Nemesis? But considering the rtionship between Sky Dragon and Nemesis He cautiously answered: Yes, I can. However, our relevant department needs to review your qualifications and you need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Fine, just do it, Sky Dragon replied happily. Su Yu was unaware of what was happening on the city wall. In the game, it was already nightfall. Riding Dima, Su Yu headed towards the Princesss House. The princess was so busy during the day that she only had free time after nightfall. Walking on the streets of Orleans City. Although it was already night, the main street was still bustling. The people of Orleans City were cheering for their victory, holding a grand carnival parade. There were people singing and dancing everywhere. Su Yu was also infected by this joyous atmosphere. It couldnt help but remind him of Blue Star. He hoped that in a year, this joyous atmosphere would sweep Blue Star too. In order for Blue Star to see this day, he had to work even harder! Princess House. After receiving Su Yus request to meet, Alyssa immediately met with him. In the garden of the royal mansion, Alyssa was wearing a white casual dress C it looked like a nightgown. Thevish ornaments she usually wore in her hair during the day were all removed, her hair loosely draped over her shoulders, she looked like an ordinary girl next door. She was sitting on a swing, sipping juice and enjoying the moonlight. It was arge double swing. Seeing Su Yustarrival, Alyssa patted the empty space beside her: Come on, Nemesis, sit. This isnt quite appropriate, is it? said Su Yu, a bit hesitant. Whats so inappropriate about it? Alyssaughed. In this country, whatever I say goes, no one dares to question its appropriateness. She then picked up a cup of juice that was sitting by her side and handed it to Su Yu. Alright. Su Yu sat next to Alyssa, epting the juice. He took a sip and determined it was kiwi juice. Um Princess Alyssa. When we are alone, just call me Alyssa. Alright, Alyssa. Hows your leg wound? Su Yus gaze fell to her legs. During the day Alyssa had been severely wounded in the battle with T Yang. He was curious how she was now. Its much better. I cant deny that Tinas bandages were surprisingly effective! Alyssa chuckled, then lifting her left leg, she ced it on Su Yus thigh. Because it was too dark, Su Yu couldnt see clearly. He reached down to feel it, finding that Alyssas left calf was smooth and tender, indeed showing no signs of injury. Alyssa seemed somewhat unustomed to Su Yus touch, her body shivered slightly, and she quickly withdrew her leg. However, she didnt say anything and instead fell silent. The atmosphere between the two became awkward. After a while, Having finished the juice in his cup, Su Yu turned to Alyssa and said, Alyssa, Im sure the state affairs must be quite burdensome at the moment. You should also take care to rest more, drink more hot water, and dont tire yourself. Drink more hot water? Alyssa appeared confused. Wasnt the juice nice? Why should she drink hot water? But she sighed and stated, Yeah, managing the entire country is indeed troublesome. We have to reim lost territory, revitalize the economy, improve peoples livelihoods, actively promote internal reforms, handle internal contradictions, deal with external human ah, so many things. If only there was someone to help me manage the country. Alyssa turned to stare intently at Su Yu. Her meaning was quite apparent, all that was left was for her to dere, After careful consideration, we have decided it should be you. Su Yu, however, pretended not to understand Alyssa and continued on his own: How about you let Tina help you? Tina achieved mastery in military affairs in just one week of study. If she studies administrative affairs, she might also master them in a short time Dont try to change the subject! Alyssa interrupted Su Yu. She jumped down from the swing, turned around and stared at Su Yu with her hands on her hips, Weve thoroughly defeated rebels and unification of the country is inevitable. Now what I want to ask you is, if you had to choose between me and Tina, who would you choose? Chapter 291: 291, I Choose Neither (Make-up Leave Update 1/2)_1 Chapter 291: I Choose Neither (Make-up Leave Update 1/2)_1 Alyssa was that decisive in her character. Rather than prolonging the situation that drew all three parties deeper into confusion, it was better toy everything on the table now and get it over with as soon as possible. At the same time, she was a little flustered. What if Su Yu said, I want them both. What would she do then? She certainly couldnt amend the Empires monogamousws for Su Yu, right? And she couldnt possibly share Su Yu with another woman, even if that woman was Tina, who she got along with rather well. Regarding this issue Su Yu didnt hesitate too much. He had his answer ready long ago. I will choose neither of you. Why? Alyssa was taken aback by Su Yus response. Her heart throbbed like a thunderp on a clear day. Could it beyou like men?! Su Yu: He almost fell from his swing. Alyssa propped her chin on her hand and rambled on to herself, Could it be the adventurer from another world called Snow Leopard that you like? I heard from the older generations that male druids, especially those who can transform into bears, will have a great advantage after marriage, you will naturally understand what kind of advantage they were talking about after your marriage Enough, Alyssa. Su Yuughed helplessly and interrupted her. How did the conversation be so twisted? My orientation is normal. I dont like men, not at all! Su Yu said earnestly. Then you How about this? Su Yu rubbed his forehead. Lets go to Tinas house together. In front of Tina, I will tell you in detail why I made this decision. How does that sound? Fine. Alyssa nodded in agreement. A few minutester, Su Yu and Alyssa arrived at Tinas house together. Tina was still bedridden, but that wasnt an issue. Su Yu exined the entire situation and its reasons to her. When she learned that Alyssa was asking Su Yu to choose between them, Tina, while confident, felt a twinge of nervousness. When she finally learned that Su Yu didnt choose either of them, she was greatly puzzled. Given her bond with Su Yu, he should have chosen her! Why did he not choose her? The gaze of Tina and Alyssa both turned towards Su Yu simultaneously, waiting for an exnation. Actually, its like this, Su Yu began to exin slowly. Do you know how us otherworldy adventurers ended up in this world? Alyssa nodded, Of course, you were all summoned by Lady Bernina Tide. Thats part of it Su Yu continued, Do you know the mission of us otherworldly adventurers? Alyssa and Tina looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison. Su Yu steadied himself and said, Ill first introduce you to the basics of our world For a while after that, Su Yu went into detail about the specific circumstances of Blue Star, the fact of alien invasion (his term was different dimension invasion), the mission yers carry in the game worldand so on. At the end of his talks, Su Yu added, If the invading dimension cant be dealt with in my world, I only have ten and a half months left to live. Given the different flow of time, I only have ten and a half years left in this world. Therefore, does it really matter who I choose? Listening to Su Yu, Tina and Alyssa both lowered their heads and fell into deep thought. They had never thought much before about where these adventurers from different worlds came from. They had no idea that these adventurers home world was facing such a huge crisis. They understood the invasion from different dimensions. This was like when minor nes like [Star Realm] and [Void] attacked the main world. If the main worlds power was weak, it indeed would be a big problem. If Su Yu and his group of adventurers from another world cant withstand the invasion from different dimensions, then his days were indeed numbered, and it indeed made no sense to discuss who among them he would be with. Once they understood this, Tina, struggling to sit up from her bed, look resolute. Su Yu, is there anything I can help with? As long as I can help, I will not refuse! Thank you, Tina! Su Yu was deeply grateful, tousling Tinas hair lightly. Me too! Alyssa also stood up, her face bing earnest. Su Yu, youve made great contributions to the Empire, and even in the recent decisive battle, the crucial role of Lady Bernina was due to your summoning. Your problem is my problem. I will definitely help your world ovee this difficulty! After she finished speaking, Alyssa moved a little closer to Su Yu, as if hinting at something. Su Yu didnt y favorites, reaching out to tousle Alyssas head, Thank you too, Alyssa. Thank you for your support! This was the first time in Alyssas life that someone had tousled her hair like this. Her cheeks turned slightly red, but she felt oddlyfortable. Could this be what they call the caress of a lover in the legends? Alyssa thought quietly to herself. At the same time, she looked at Su Yu, So, how can we help you? Su Yu thought for a moment, then replied, First of all, we adventurers from different worlds need to enhance our abilities. We need more high-ranking warriors. Uh-huh, what else? Additionally, we need high-grade and high-quality golden equipment and tools. Su Yu pointed to his [Lighthouse Sudden Chill Set]. Only equipment of this golden color can be brought into my world. Tina suddenly realized, So thats why! No wonder Su Yu valued her blood so much and repeatedly emphasized to her not to disclose the fact that her blood can turn into gold. If she does speak out, she might attract otherworldly adventurers with greedy intentions to attack her! It seems that she needs to protect herself and this secret carefully in the future. Alyssa, on the other hand, nodded in understanding, I see, I will ask my subordinates to help you collect as many golden artifacts and tools as possiblebut ording to the worlds rules, I cant directly give you these items. You have toplete tasks in exchange. At that point, Alyssa suddenly brightened up! She could bring out a lot of high-ranking golden artifacts and tools as bait in the future, which would keep Su Yu by her side doing tasks all the time. And Tina definitely couldnt bring out many golden artifacts (she didnt know that Tinas blood could turn into gold), so Tina and Su Yu would slowly drift apart, and she would be the ultimate winner! Thinking of this, Alyssa was in a great mood, a radiant smile spreading across her face. Also, she could bring out a great item right now to make Su Yu happy. Alyssaughed, Su Yu, I havent thanked you yet for summoning Lady Bernina to win the decisive battle! Lets take this opportunity to give you the reward you deserve! Alyssa waved her hands in the air, forming a special gesture. Shortly after, a faint green portal appeared in front of the trio. Alyssa carefully reached into the portal and brought out a cat egg that was glowing with starlight and handed it to Su Yu. Ding, you havepleted the main plot [Goldfinch Empire (75/100)]. You have received a reward: [Starlight Cat Egg (Legend)] X1. Chapter 292: 292, Wow! Golden Legend!_1 Chapter 292: Wow! Golden Legend!_1 Looking at this mission reward, Su Yu waspletely stunned! The princess had actually given him Morning Star! Recognizing that Morning Star was a true seventh-rank strongman, gifting such a promising pet to him, even as a third stage mainlinepletion reward, it was just too generous! Alyssa, didnt you say you wanted to raise Morning Star yourself? Why did you give her to me? Su Yu held the pet egg, glowing with starlight, in his palm, feeling a wave of emotion. And werent you reading How to Tame a Kitten recently? Surely it wasnt for nothing, right? Alyssa mischievously winked at Su Yu, I initially wanted to raise Morning Star myself, but your contribution this time was too great! If it wasnt for your summoning of Lady Bernina, we would have lost this decisive battle. You totally deserve this generous reward! Alyssa stepped next to Su Yu, lightly touching Morning Stars pet egg, with a hint of reluctance. And the main reason why Im giving Morning Star to you is quite crucial. What reason? Su Yu asked out of curiosity. Alyssa pointed at her chin and recalled, Do you remember the transparent stone block the size of a small barrel you showed me, purely condensed from spiritual energy? You mean this? Su Yu thought for a moment and took the [Experience Crystal Stone] out of his backpack. This item in his backpack was the only thing that matched Alyssas description. Moreover, he had indeed shown the crystal stone to Alyssa. After all, this was very rare for the natives toe by. Yes, thats it! Alyssa took one look at the crystal stone and nodded. Currently, Morning Star is in a kitten state with only level 1. She can practice under starlight every night to recover her strength. However, such recovery is slow and it would take hundreds of years for her to recover to her prime. Apart from that, Morning Star can also use items like [Star Dust] and [Star Stone] that are rich in star realm energy to recover her strength. Having said that, Alyssa turned her gaze towards the crystal stone in Su Yus hand: This stone of yours can also help Morning Star recover her strength. Based on my private conversation with Morning Stars mother Erin, this stone would enhance Morning Stars recovery speed tremendouslypared to most of the star realm materials! If you can provide sufficient amounts of this stone, Morning Star might fully recover to her peak state in just a few years! Is that so? Su Yus eyes lit up. If that was the case, wouldnt he own a seventh-rank pet?! But Su Yu was conflicted: I cannot bring Morning Star to our world, it wouldnt be of much help in dealing with the invasion from other dimensions? From the perspective of fighting against the Skuru people, instead of feeding Morning Star all these experience points, he might as well distribute them among the other yers. Especially for future cardholders who are at the peak of the fifth or sixth rank, distributing experience points to them would be much more effective than giving it to Morning Star. Even though Morning Star could help kill monsters in the game, Su Yu felt it was still a loss if she could not lend a hand in reality. At this moment, Tina stood up from the bed. She looked at the [Interster Cat Egg], then towards Su Yu, Nemesis, we could actually attempt After saying that, she pulled out a sharp knife that had been hidden for a long time from underneath her pillow. Then she held the knife in her right hand and swiftly drew it across the palm of her left hand. A lot of blood, intertwined with faint gold strands, surged from her left palm. Tina, you Hush, dont speak. Tina gently shook her right index finger in front of her lips. Then, she pressed her bleeding left palm onto the [Interster Cat Egg]. At the same time, her expression turned serious and her voice became extremely solemn: In the name of Tina Garcia, I bestow upon you the power of gold! Buzz The entire [Interster Cat Egg] lit up, bursting out with a blinding golden light. This light transformed into a golden beam shooting straight up into the sky, so that all the people in the city could see it clearly. Not only were the high ranking powerhouses in the city paying attention, but the ordinary citizens also showed expressions of reverence. Some even thought it was a miracle and started bowing in worship in that direction. About three minutester, the beam of light gradually faded. Moreover, the [Interster Cat Egg] was sessfully coated with ayer of golden radiance. Ding, [Tina Garcia] has issued you an additional reward: [Interster Cat Egg (Legend)] quality upgrade, upgraded to [Interster Cat Egg (Golden Legend)]. Ding, the third stage of the mainline storyline [Goldfinch Empire] has ended, and the next stage will officially begin on July 16 (tomorrow), please look forward to it. Su Yu had no words at this moment. Indeed, one cannot make 100% urate deductions based on past experiences. In his previous life, no one was able to bring pets into the real world, not a single one! But now, the ss of Morning Star has turned into a Golden Legend, meaning theres a high probability she can be brought into reality! Su Yu felt like his entire world view was being upended. He could feed Morning Star the Experience Crystal Stone to speed up her recovery. Once she recovered to the seventh rank, she could also provide immense help in the real world! Whats more crucial is C after Morning Star enters the real world, could she potentially possess the yer attribute, such as being able to resurrect after death? This point was extremely important! He was eager to give it a try! Of course, the first thing he had to do now was to thank Tina for the extra reward she gave. Thank you, Tina. Su Yu gratefully thanked Tina. Such a good girl mustnt be disappointed. Youre wee. Tina gently brushed her hair off her face. Im content as long as I can help you. Anyhow, thank you very much. An excited Su Yu patted Tinas shoulder and turned to look at the princess: Alyssa, dont tell anyone about Tinas ability to goldenize pet eggs! Otherwise, it might attract the greedy adventurers from different dimensions, and Tina might be in serious danger. Dont worry, I certainly wont tell anyone. Alyssa quickly assured him. Although the leaking of the secret was indeed beneficial to her, she would not resort to such lowly tactics to eliminate herpetitors. After all, there are no walls that do not leak. If she revealed the secret without others knowing, it would eventuallye to light and if this caused disharmony in their rtionship, she would be the one at a loss. However, Tinas actions made Alyssa sigh in disappointment. Tinas blood could goldenize, which meant she also had significant value to Su Yu. It seemed that the struggle between her and Tina would continue for quite a while! Chapter 293: 293, God’s Favorite: [Star Realm Cat Morning Star]_1 Chapter 293: Gods Favorite: [Star Realm Cat Morning Star]_1 Tina pulled a light blue bandage from the Space Ring and dressed her left hand wound. This bandage was an ancestral heritage, the potency of the medicine was so strong that the wound would be healed by tomorrow morning. Slowly, Alyssa moved in front of Tina and looked up at her, Tina, about Nemesis, shall we continue to leave the dispute aside? Lets discuss his allegiance after defeating the invasion from a different dimension in ten years, alright? Issue of allegiance Su Yu twitched at the corner of his mouth. That phrase made him feel like a pet. Tina thought about it, then readily agreed, No problem, let it be ten years! Ten years seemed to be a long time, but for beings who lived for several hundred years like them, ten years was nothing. In those ten years she could still be with Nemesis, so there was no distinction. The princess took a deep breath. After unifying the entire country, she would definitely set aside some time to cultivate a rtionship with Nemesis, in hopes that he would choose her in future! The [Interster Cat Egg] had been sessfully gilded. The next step, of course, was to help Morning Star hatch. Alyssa ced the [Interster Cat Egg] steadily on the table, and then pulled Su Yus hand to ce it on the egg shell: Nemesis, pour in your magic power. Oh, yes, try to make your magic power gentle and harmless to humans and animals, without any aggression or aggression. Understood! Su Yu replied. He had helped many pets hatch in the past, so he was quite familiar with the process. He adjusted and tuned his own magical frequencies to the gentlest one, guiding it into the egg. Morning Star within the egg already had consciousness, just like a human who didnt want to leave their bed on a cold winter morning, she just wanted to remain in the egg. Morning Star knew that the princess had given her to Su Yu, but she didnt feel much resistance. After all, who didnt have an owner as a pet? Whats more, being a high-level creature like herself, she signed an [Equality Contract] with humans, not an [Envement Contract]. If Nemesis failed to serve her correctly, she could always break the contract and switch masters without any loss. Perceiving the magic power from Su Yu probing into the egg, Morning Starzily connected her own magic with Su Yus. The two types of magic converged at the edge of the pet egg. Ultimately, under the direction of Morning Star, the magic power aggregated into a rhombus-shaped magical inscription glowing with starlight. The magical inscription was divided into two parts, each marked on the foreheads of Su Yu and Morning Star. The [Equality Contract] was sessfully signed. After signing the contract, it was time to hatch. Morning Star reached out with a tender paw and gently tapped on the egg wall, causing a crack to appear and the eggshell to break apart. She crawled out of the eggshell, shook off the eggshell fragments on her body, let out a meow, and looked adorably at the three in front of her. Because of the contract, Su Yu could effortlessly see her current attributes. [Star Realm Cat Morning Star lv1] Quality: Golden Legend Temte: Boss Hit Points: 3021 Attack Power: 68 Spell Power: 65 Experience Points: 0/100k Skill List: [Star Realm Cat Form] (Physical Damage Output Form): [Star w Strike (Excellent)], [sh Assault (Excellent)](Omitting 46 skills)[Starburst Assault (Legendary)], [Starlight Shield (Legendary) (Passive)] [? Form] (Special Form): (Unlocked at Level 10) (Morning Star has set it to not disy to anyone.) [Ster Giant Bear Form] (Defense Form): (Unlocked at Level 30) [Star Realm Parrot, Star Realm Deer, Star Realm Dolphin Forms] (Travel Forms): (Unlocked at Level 50) [Starlight Tree Form] (Healing Form): (Unlocked at Level 60) [Star Spirit Fox Form] (Magic Damage Output Form): (Unlocked at Level 70) [Star Core Giant Dragon Form] (Ultimate Form): (Unlocked at Level 75) Morning Stars attributes panel had several pages, which left Su Yu dazzled. Including the ? form, she had a total of 9 different forms. Just in the first form [Star Realm Cat] alone, she had as many as 50 skills. Combining the skills of all the forms, there might be several hundreds of them! Indeed, theres a huge difference among legends. With Morning Stars attributes, Im afraid even the Dragon Race cant surpass her! Su Yu sighed in his heart. Another point worth mentioning was C Morning Stars attack power, spell power, hit points or other attributes were about 100 times that of a level 1 ordinary creature, and the experience required to level up was also 100 times that of a level 1 yer. This was probably due to the [Boss] temte. It seemed that only someone like him, who possessed arge amount of idle experience points, could afford to raise Morning Star! Pushing aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Su Yu looked at the princess, Alyssa, does Morning Star still have her previous memories? She didnt lose them after reincarnation, did she? Before Alyssa could answer, a cute loli voice came from Morning Star, Of course I havent lost my memories, you still owe me 500 kg of dried fish! Su Yus mouth twitched, it seemed that Morning Stars memories were still intact. He had long forgotten about the 500 kg dried fish, but Morning Star remembered it. Alyssa happily picked up Morning Star, her eyes slightly reddened, Its great that you didnt lose your memories, Morning Star! Back at Kaishi Town, I thought you were dead Whatever it is, Nemesis and I will definitely help you recover your strength, and find your enemy Walnut to take revenge for you! Morning Star rubbed her little head against Alyssas chest, she really liked Alyssa as a friend. However, she still said, Dont get involved in the matter of revenge, you and Nemesis. It involves the main ne and [Star Realm] Its not easy to exin now, but when my strength is restored, I will take my own revenge! Alright, well do as you wish! Alyssa didnt persist on this issue. She took out a [Starlight Stone] from the Space Ring, which she had prepared in advance, and gave it to Morning Star. Morning Star stretched out her paw and grabbed the [Starlight Stone] firmly. The Star Force hidden in the stone gradually flowed into her body. The Experience Crystal Stone Su Yu had was currently storing 53.41 million experience points. He used the [Split] function to split a fingernail-sized crystal stone containing 100k experience points and handed it to Morning Star. Morning Star was not polite. She took the crystal and popped it into her mouth to chew on it, crunching it as if it were a few broad beans. Meanwhile, from Su Yus perspective, he could see the experience values on Morning Stars panel increasing dramatically. In no time, her experience bar was filled. A deep blue starlight emanated from her fur as she leveled up from 1 to 2, and she also seemed to have grown slightly bigger. Su Yu was delighted and quickly split another crystal stone containing 100k experience points to feed Morning Star. However, Morning Star shook her head and belched, Ill eat more tomorrow. I need to take some time to digest todays intake. If I eat too much at once with my current physique, Ill explode. Alright then. Su Yu nodded, retracting the crystal stone. He would feed her moreter! The more than 50 million experience points he had would be enough to level up Morning Star to a high level. Chapter 294: 294, Petting a Cat (Making up for leave update 2/2)_1 Chapter 294: Petting a Cat (Making up for leave update 2/2)_1 Whether it was due to being too full or too young, Morning Star closed her eyes, intending to drift off to sleep in Alyssas arms after finishing her crystal gem. But at this moment, Su Yu hurriedly woke her, Morning Star, dont rush to sleep, would you like to visit our world? Your world? What do you mean by your world? Morning Star looked bewildered. When Su Yu was exining to Alyssa and Tina before, Morning Star had yet to emerge from the [Dream Realm] (a light green portal), so she did not hear Su Yus words. Alright, its like this Su Yu repeated what he had told Tina. Morning Stars eyes widened with amazement, feeling energetic and sleepless after hearing Su Yus exnation. An extraordinary otherworld! She was actually qualified to visit it?! Then what are we waiting for? Lets go now! Morning Star leaped out of Alyssas arms andnded on Su Yus shoulder. Alright. Su Yu used his will to store Morning Star in the pet space. She turned into a beam of starlight and disappeared from his shoulder. He then turned to Alyssa and Tina, I will be back soon after leaving for a bit. It could be as short as half an hour or as long as one to two hours. Okay, I will wait for you. Alyssa nodded and sat down on the seat in front of the vanity. Nemesis, be careful, Tina also said. Okay, I will. After saying this, Su Yu chose to log off the game. In the real world. Su Yu took off his gaming helmet and got up off the sofa. He first stretched a bit and determined that nothing felt amiss, apart from the rhombus-shaped rune he felt deep between his brows. This rune was the one that fused with him during the equal contract with Morning Star. Perhaps with this rune, he could summon Morning Star. He called upon all his mana and channeled it into this rune. The rune glowed with a deep blue light. Not long after, a six-pointed star array, glowing like a star, appeared between Su Yus eyebrows, reflecting onto the floor. In the center of the star array on the floor, a meow~. Apanied by the clear sound of a kitten, Morning Star leapt from the array, standing on the cold floor tiles. Aftering to this world, she first inspected her surroundings, curiously looking at everything around her. She then hopped onto Su Yus bed, inspecting her surroundings while asking, Nemesis, is this where you live? Yes! Su Yu replied with a smile. This ce is too small. Youre not a hermit crab, are you? Morning Starined. Su Yu: cough, its actually enough space for one person. Is it though? Morning Star was very skeptical. But she didnt dwell on the matter too much. Morning Star hopped onto the balcony to appreciate the outside view. It was currently three in the afternoon, and since Su Yu lived on the 9th floor, he had a clear view of the city from a distance. Morning Star, fixedly staring at the tall buildings outside, had a look of curiosity: Nemesis, why are the buildings here so tall? Have you guys mastered some kind of Earth magic? What are those moving ck and white boxes on the ground? A strong character is passing by in the sky no, its not. Is that some kind of metal Warcraft? Morning Star excitedly said. However, she was not satisfied with such a single angle and turned to ask Su Yu, Nemesis, can you take me out for a walk now? Now is not the time. Su Yu shook his head, The princess and Tina are still waiting for us. We should at least go back and tell them before we go out. Thats true. Morning Star turned back to continue enjoying the outside view. Just then, Su Yu suddenly had an idea and said to Morning Star, Morning Star, can I touch you? [Archer] and [Summoner] can summon their pets in reality, but the pet is only a spiritual energy illusion. So Su Yu wanted to try touching Morning Star to see if she was substantial or a spiritual illusion. What are you doing?! Stay away! Morning Star jumped back onto the bed, pulled the nket over her body, then turned to give him a wary look. Could it be that because there are no other people around, Nemesis has revealed his true intentions? But she is just a cat, not the human form unlocked after level 10, could it be that Nemesis has be so desperate that he wont even let a cat go? No, you misunderstood, a ck line appeared on Su Yus forehead as he briefly described the situation of [Hunter] and [Summoner] professions. After hearing, Morning Star tilted her head and pondered. Then she expressed her understanding. Alright, you can touch me hold on! Seeing Su Yus hand reaching toward her, she immediately stopped him. Whats wrong now? Su Yu asked, puzzled. No touching my tail! Morning Star sternly warned. Okay. Another ck line appears on Su Yus forehead. But just when Su Yus hand was about half a meter away from Morning Star, she twisted her body and stopped him again: Wait! What is it now? No touching my stomach or lower body! Morning Star emphasized. Su Yu: okay. Another ck line appeared on his forehead. Wait! Legs are also off-limits, only my head can be touched. A fourth ck line appeared. Since you wont let me touch you, Ill do it anyway! Su Yus stubbornness kicked in and disregarding her protest, he threw himself onto the bed and started vigorously petting Morning Star. He knew Morning Stars personality very well. When he was doing the first half of the princesss main storyline, Morning Star, in her deer form, initially didnt let him ride her. But ever since the 14th cycle of the mainline when Su Yu rode her once, Morning Starpletely let go. During the subsequent main storylines, she let him ride her seven or eight times, even proactivelying over to let him ride her and help himplete many difficult tasks. It was the same now. On the surface, Morning Star was refusing to be petted, but as long as Su Yu gave her a good rubbing once, she would no longer have any psychological barriers in the future. How could the current Morning Star, who was only a level 2 kitten, escape from Su Yu, the level 60 mage? She was constantly transforming in Su Yus hands, meowing incessantly due to his relentless petting. But considering Morning Star was still a newborn kitten, Su Yus touch was much gentler. At first, Morning Star still seemed to struggle a little. But towards the end, just as Su Yu had predicted, not only did Morning Star stop resisting, she even began to enjoy Su Yus strokes and wasfortably closing her eyes. Afterwards, Morning Starid in Su Yus arms, rubbing her forehead against his chest, Human, this time I will spare you considering your childish ignorance. But dont do that again, got it? Understood. Su Yu replied. It had to be said, Morning Stars fur was very smooth, and it felt great to pet. This indirectly proved that she had physically entered this world and was not just an illusion. He looked at the time and found that he had been offline for about 5 minutes, which calcted in game time would be approximately an hour. The princess and Tina must be anxiously waiting by now! So Su Yu said to Morning Star: Alright, we will go back now. After I let Alyssa know, Ill take you around to explore our world. Without waiting for Morning Stars response, Su Yu put her back into the pet space, put on his helmet, and logged back into the game. Chapter 295: 295, should I have a baby with Tina? _1 Chapter 295: should I have a baby with Tina? _1 Returning to the game world, Su Yu emerged in Tinas bedroom. In the bedroom, Princess Alyssa was engrossed in a book, sitting at her dressing table with her left hand propping up her cheek and her right hand cradling the book. Tina sat cross-legged on the bed, striving to digest the inheritance she had just obtained. Seeing Su Yus figure appear, Alyssa put down her book and greeted him with a smile: Nemesis, youre back! Tina, concentrating on her work, did not speak but also smiled at him. Mmm, Im back. Did you two miss me at all? Su Yu joked. Hmph, how could we in just one hour? Alyssa couldnt help but roll her eyes. At this moment, Morning Star hopped out of Su Yus pet space and directly leaped into Alyssas arms. Alyssa gently stroked Morning Stars fur and asked curiously: Morning Star, how is Nemesiss world? This.. Morning Star was somewhat dumbfounded and she stumbled over her words: Its its alright, I guess. At this point, all that filled Morning Stars mind was the wonderful sensation of Su Yus warm hands kneading her body. She didnt care the least bit about the world. Hearing Morning Stars words, Alyssa thought that Nemesiss world was dull and uninspiring and didnt ask further. She carefully returned Morning Star to Su Yus embrace, stretchedzily, and looked somewhat weary: Well then, Ill go back first. Theres a lot of important work to do tomorrow Goodbye! Nemesis, Tina, Morning Star. Seeing the fatigue on the Princesss face, Su Yu suddenly felt a pang of heartache. Even though Alyssa, like him, was a fourth-tier Mage and could even exert the strength of a seventh-tier peak Mage under the enhancement of her ancestral powers, she was, after all, just a small girl of 15. It was a bit unfair to put the burden of reviving the Empire on someone of such young age. So Su Yu stepped forward and gently took Alyssas hand: Alyssa, wait a moment. I have something to tell you. Nemesis? What is it? Alyssas expression suddenly became a bit flustered, and her cheeks tinged pink. This was the second time in her life she had had physical contact with a young man (the first time was just now in the pce, where Nemesis had touched her calf). An unusual emotion rose within her. Yet Su Yu looked quite serious: Its not good for you to devote your heart and soul to ruling the country. You need to bnce work and rest in order to improve work efficiency. Tell me, when was thest time you took a break? A break Alyssa didnt know what to say. As far back as she could remember, she had never taken a break. How about this, Su Yu suggested: Tomorrow I will take you and Tina and, of course, Morning Star, and the four of us will go to Pearl City and rx. We wont deal with any politics, just let loose and give ourselves a vacation! But No buts, Su Yu interrupted her. If you wont go, Ill just go with Tina. He then turned to look at Tina: Tina, would you like to go with me to Pearl City? Tina couldnt speak as she was currently digesting her inheritance, but she quickly nodded at Su Yu to indicate her willingness. Alright then, Ill go with you, Alyssa finally gave in after some thought. Indeed, now that the final battle was over, it was time to take a well-deserved rest. The matters of state could afford to wait a little longer. However, Alyssa seemed to recall something all of a sudden. She transmitted a message to Morning Star using the Sound Transmission Spell: Morning Star, when Im not around, keep an eye on Nemesis for me. Dont let him get too close to Tina. This was also her third reason for giving Morning Star to Su Yu. As Su Yus pet, Morning Star would definitely know what he was doing. If Su Yu wanted to get overly intimate with Tina, Morning Star could jump out and stop them in time. Receiving the transmission, Morning Star immediately responded: No problem, leave it to me! But Morning Star took a moment before continuing the transmission: You like Nemesis too? Alyssa: Yeah, so what? Morning Star: Uh.. nothing. Things seemed to be getting a littleplicated. Lets settle on that then! Su Yuughed: Ille to pick you guys up early tomorrow morning, and well go to Pearl City together. Alright. Alyssa nodded. It seemed she would have to n things out for tomorrow when she got back tonight. She couldnt just let her subordinates think she had disappeared, could she? Tina did not object either. She wanted to master the entire first stage of the inheritance by tonight, so it wouldnt interfere with tomorrows ns. The next day. Using the [Mimicry Skill] to change their appearances and auras, the three of them went to have a good time in Pearl City. Pearl City was the only mega city that remained untouched by the war, and the lives of its residents were virtually unchanged. The City Lord, Michelle, had been arrested by Alyssa and sentenced to death. But due to the slow pace of information exchange in this world, most people were still unaware of it. Even those who knew about it werent too affected by the news. So, life in the city continued as usual, still as prosperous as ever. Upon arriving in Pearl City, the three of them, along with the cat, went to the snack street to sample local delicacies, went shopping for clothes, or bought some peculiar trinkets. Su Yus splurging ability was activated once again. Whatever Tina, Alyssa, or Morning Star fancied, as long as it wasnt overpriced and designed to rip people off, he would purchase it without hesitation, regardless of the cost. For instance, the dried cod that Morning Star longed for as a special product of Pearl City, the materials filled with Star Force, the exotic small jewelry and gems that Alyssa was interested in, the [Azure Fantasy Potion] that Tina wanted, which could enhance spiritual force and expedite learning time Su Yu bought these items inrge quantities without a second thought. All these items cost Su Yu several hundred thousand spiritual energy coins, but he didnt care a bit. After all, he still had over three billion spiritual energy coins in his bag. Shifting a few ces in the tail end of his bnce didnt matter to him. Surprisingly, their journey to Pearl City generally increased their favorable impressions of him: Tinas favorability toward him increased from 43 points to 46 points, just 4 points short of the maximum 50 points; Alyssas favorability toward him increased from 41 points to 44 points; Morning Stars favorability was at 18 points [Neutral] when she first hatched, but after going offline and thening back online with her, her favorability had increased to 26 points [Attention]. This increase of 8 points in favorability urred offline, with no game prompt. After this trip to Pearl City, Morning Stars favorability toward him increase by another 5 points, reaching 31 points in the [Friendly] level, just 9 points shy of the highest stage of [Enthusiasm]. Seeing Tinas favorability score at 46 points, Su Yu fell into deep thought. Normally, a favorability of 40 points was sufficient for marriage, and 45 points was enough to have a child (provided it was with someone of the opposite sex). Tinas favorability met the criteria. Should he have a child with Tina? Chapter 296: 296, Bernina, the assistant to the time-space manager? _1 Chapter 296: Bernina, the assistant to the time-space manager? _1 But after giving it some thought, Su Yu decided to let it go. The whole having kids thing was quiteplex, nourishing a child from an infant no, raising a child from infancy was no simple task. It required a great deal of dedication and effort. Although children could also level up and fight monsters, providing some assistance to their parents once they reached a certain level. But this assistance would be insignificantpared to the early investment, a situation very akin to reality on Blue Star. So he would rather wait until he defeated the Skuru people, if this broken game still exists by then, he could explore this avenue. After a day of fun in Pearl City, Su Yu exhausted all his 12 hours of game time for the day. He took Tina home and sent the princess back to her pce before choosing to log out. Back in the real world, it was 6 oclock in the evening. But since it was mid-July, it was still daylight outside. With this free time, perhaps he could take Morningstar out for a walk. Su Yu removed his gaming helmet, stood up from the couch, and started stretching his stiff body from sitting too long. At this point, Morningstar jumped out from the pet space, hopping onto his bed and began to roll around. Morningstar, what are you doing? Su Yu asked curiously. Nothing. Morningstar rolled a few times, then adopted a crouching position, looking up at Su Yu: Nemesis, I have great news! When I came out of the pet space just now, I received a message from [Bernina Tide]. Bernina Tide? Su Yu was startled, What did she say? Comfortably lying on the bed, Morningstar tilted its head and spoke, Bernina gave me two messages: First, she says shes the assistant to the temporal managers of our two worlds, and the time in this world is currently flowing 12 times faster than ours. She is considering patching up this unfair time disparity; Second, creatures from our world can be revived after they die in this world. The revival cycle is calcted ording to the time of this world. The revival of a first-rank creature takes 24 hours; second-rank revival time is 48 hours, third-rank is 72 hours and so on, the highest being an eighth-rank that would take 192 hours, or eight days. But the number of revivals isnt unlimited, we can only be revived 10 times, after which well be rejected and effectively banned from entering this world. Su Yu: He was utterly stunned. The amount of information conveyed by Morningstar was staggering! First, Bernina Tide is an assistant to the temporal managers of both worlds? Who are these temporal managers? Were they the war overseers of the Singer Civilization? He hadnt heard of anyone like that in his past life! Second, Bernina Tide is trying to patch the time disparity between the two worlds? Control of time, what kind of power is that? Also, what kind of patch is she nning? Finally, creatures from the game world could really be revived in the real world, and up to 10 times! To understand, a high-rank power who isnt afraid to die, fighting for life, can disy much greater power than a same-rank power who tries to preserve their life! For instance, during the Battle of Forest City, Madeline obliterated Xi Fan, who was much stronger than her, with just one self-detonation. If Su Yu can bring more high-rank powers from the game into reality, just the suicidal attacks can cause tremendous losses to the Skuru people! Lost in thought after the overwhelming amount of news from Morningstar, Su Yu couldnt pull himself together for a while. Morningstar didnt mind him, hopped onto the window sill of the balcony, looking out and observed this unfamiliar alien world. About three minutes passed. Before Su Yu could snap out of his deep thinking, he felt a powerful aura taking the elevator from the 1st floor to his own apartment on the 9th floor. He easily identified the auras owner, it was Zhu Guorui, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Calming his chaotic thoughts. Su Yu opened the door, weed the guest at the elevator entrance. The elevator door opened and an elderly man dressed in a yellow robe, with a stern face and dignified presence stepped out. It was a strikingly different look from the traditional Crescent-shaped face imagery. Haha, Su Yu. I sensed two auras from your room, and as Prime Minister Cao isnt around, I came to take a look, he exined. Wee! Lets talk inside. Su Yu invited with a smile. These days, he had met Zhu Guorui quite a few times. Unlike Prime Minister Caos cold demeanor, Zhu Guorui was quite weing and persuasive. When Prime Minister Cao gave Su Yu the medicinal bath prescription, Zhu Guorui offered several improvements that greatly enhanced its effectiveness. Zhu Guorui didnt resist the invitation, and walked straight into Su Yus home. Su Yu followed him in and closed the door. This is.. After spotting the blue and white kitten perched on the handrail of the balcony, Zhu Guoruis eyes narrowed. At first nce, this was obviously not a creature from Blue Star. Could it be.? Morningstar noticed a stranger had entered, meowed reluctantly at him, and then lost interest, turning his head back to the window. Su Yu didnt hide the truth, he exined seriously: Mr. Zhu, about this kitten, its something I brought out from the game Su Yu gave a brief description of Morningstars origin. However, he left out the part about Tinas blood gilding and simplified it to saying it was a legendary golden pet egg given by the game. As for the honorific Mr. Zhu The first time Su Yu met Zhu Guorui, he addressed him as Ming Taizu, or Emperor Hongwu, but Zhu Guorui felt that was rather distant and suggested Su Yu call him Mr. Zhu. After a while, it became a habit. After hearing Su Yus exnation, the usuallyposed Zhu Guorui showed visible surprise. An animal from the gaming world could be brought into reality as if it was equipment? That was a mind-boggling revtion for him. After a long pause, he finally spoke slowly: Su Yu, have you informed the relevant authorities about this? Not yet. Su Yu replied. You should tell them. I believe that once they learn of this, the relevant departments, even the states overall strategy, will undergo significant adjustments. Zhu Guorui advised seriously. Alright. Su Yu nodded, pulled out his phone and dialed Xue Wenlis number: Hello, Wenli Twenty minutester, Xue Wenli rushed into Su Yus home. At this point, Morningstar was already curdled up on Su Yus bed, eyes half-closed, looking like it was about to sleep. Xue Wenli beheld Morningstar, looking astounded, her eyes wide in disbelief. Morningstar could sense a strange female specimen entering but noticing she had no energy waves, meaning she was just an ordinary person, so it didnt pay her much mind. Xue Wenli took a deep breath, and trying to calm her agitated mind, she looked at Su Yu. Nemesis, how did you bring it into reality? Chapter 297: 297, Can’t this cat go out? _1 Chapter 297: Cant this cat go out? _1 Its pretty simple. Su Yu shrugged, The 75th Mainline Quest I took bestowed upon me a golden legendary pet egg Su Yu then went on to recount the origin of Morning Star. At the end of his exnation, he gave thought and ryed to Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli the two hints Bernina had given to Morning Star. It was best they knew about these matters as early as possible. Upon knowing the contents of the hints, there was an even greater shock upon Xue Wenli and Zhu Guorui. Time-space manager? Modifying the speed of time? Gaming creatures could resurrect multiple times in the real world? Zhu Guoruisplexion turned solemn. It seemed he hadpletely underestimated the game, and a time-space manager was beyond his scope of understanding. On the other hand, Xue Wenli was quite unstable. She staggered to the rooms couch, and after drinking a sip of the water Su Yu handed to her, her mood calmed down a bit. No way, this matter is too important, I must report it immediately! she thought. Then Xue Wenli stood up and looked at Su Yu, Nemesis, may I report this to Commissioner Zhang, letting the higher-ups know? Of course. Su Yu waved his hands carelessly, If I didnt want this to be reported, I wouldnt have invited you here. Thats good, if theres nothing else, Ill go back and report this right now! Xue Wenli took onest nce at Morning Star, then turned around, ready to depart. Normally, she should take a clear photo of Morning Star for the report to have an impact. But considering that Su Yu might dislike that, she refrained from doing so. After all, Morning Star looked simr to the cats on Blue Star, except for the shining blue starlight on its fur. She thought she could just find a realistic painter to make a drawingter. But Su Yu halted her, Wait, theres one more thing. What is it? Xue Wenli looked at him. Su Yu pointed at Morning Star May I bring her to the streets, show her around? Thats Xue Wenli was a bit troubled. Whats wrong human? May I not go outside? Morning Star suddenly spoke up. Morning Stars voice was crisp, but her tone sounded very irritated. She can even talk! Xue Wenli was shocked by Morning Stars sudden outburst, she did not expect Su Yus pet to have intelligence! However, she quickly regained herposure and exined to Morning Star in a slightly appeasing tone, Its not that I dont want to, Im worried about the bacteria and viruses on your body spreading wide in our world. Im also concerned about our worlds bacteria and viruses posing harm to you. Xue Wenli looked pleadingly at Zhu Guorui. Zhu Guorui nodded and added, Wen Li is absolutely right, we discovered this problem after the Skuru people arrived: they are extraterrestrial life and carry bacteria and virus types and configurations that arepletely different from Blue Star. Last time, several soldiers who participated in the Lingwu Mountain operation caught one or several severe illnesses induced by alien bacteria and viruses. They are still being treated. Many of the Skuru captured in the Lingwu Mountain operation also died from Blue Star viruses and bacteria. Only the stronger ones could barely survive. So our worries are not without reason. Su Yu: Well. He hadnt really thought this through. Even though Morning Star didnt understand what they meant by bacteria and viruses, she disdainfully waved her paw, I am a creature from the Star Realm and Im not carrying what youre talking about. Also, I can cast a protective shield to cut off contact from the outside, so theres no issue. Immediately after, apanied by a faint buzz, a light blue uneven shield with starlight flowing appeared around her. This was her Star Shield ability, able to iste the inside and outsidepletely. Not even air, let alone bacteria and viruses, can pass through. Zhu Guorui assessed the shield briefly and suggested, How about this, Su Yu, Ill talk to the government higher-ups for you and argue for letting this little cat go out. But until the message is confirmed, you must stay at home. Well, we will stay at home and await your news then, Su Yu nodded. After Zhu Guorui and Xue Wenli left, they went to the relevant department together and discussed the events happening in Su Yus ce via video conference with the government higher-ups. And they were very efficient. Two hourster, Su Yu received a call from Xue Wenli. In the call, Xue Wenli said that Morning Star was approved to go out but can only move within a radius of 3 kilometers centered at Su Yus house current. After the health experts have confirmed no issues a weekter, they could further expand Morning Stars range of movement. Su Yu raised no objections to this. After the call ended, he left the house with Morning Star. Right now, the streets were under curfew. Ever since the existence of the Skuru people was made public, the country had implemented a curfew on all towns and cities. The so-called curfew was a ban on all night activities from 8 PM to 5 AM the next day. The reason for the curfew was mainly out of fear of night-time mischief. Additionally, other than East Sea City, other cities have increasing numbers of ghosts or unseen spirits. The Ghost Searching Ruler that can destroy these spirits had not yet been forged, so it was indeed dangerous to roam outside at night. But things were different for Su Yu. Su Yu usually eliminated spirits during night-time operations in the past month and a half, so he had specific privileges for night-time movements. Therefore, taking advantage of theck of people, he thought it was a good time to take Morning Star around. Su Yu wandered aimlessly on the streets with Morning Star on his shoulder, curiously observing this world. As they walked, Su Yu introduced the basics of Blue Star to her. For example, how the depletion of spiritual energy led to the entry of Blue Star into the Dharma Ending Age how the people of Blue Star had made significant development in technology all the way to the events from one and a half months ago of the Singer Civilization setting up their scheme and the Skuru people invading. All of these topics could take a day and a night to discuss in detail, so Su Yu just gave Morning Star a general summary. Through Su Yus exnation, Morning Star started to understand the situation on Blue Star. However, it was only an initial understanding. To understand it deeper, she would need more time. There was not much of interest within the three-kilometer radius. Su Yu took Morning Star for two rounds and brought her to take a look at the highest residential roof before bringing her back home. After returning home, Su Yu showed Morning Star electronic inte devices likeputers, mobile phones and so on. After understanding the capabilities of these electronic terminals, Morning Star quickly gained immense interest in them! After Su Yu taught her how to use the phone, she simply skipped sleeping and non-stop, swiped with her cat paw on the phones screen, searching for everything she was interested in. It wasnt until 4 AM when she was unable to persevere any longer that she fell into a dead sleep next to the phone. PS: I missed a chapter update yesterday. Ill definitely make up for it tomorrow. Chapter 298: 298, Everything is for Spiritual Energy_1 Chapter 298: Everything is for Spiritual Energy_1 At 6 am the next morning, Su Yu woke from his deep sleep. When he was still a little confused from just having woken up, he suddenly felt a strange sensation on his right arm. He lifted the covers to find that Morning Star had somehow burrowed into his bed and was now snuggling against his arm, fast asleep. Unsure if she had mistaken his arm for a giant dried fish, Morning Star was not only clinging on tightly but also asionally drooling on his arm. With a roll of his eyes, Su Yu took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped off her drool disdainfully. Then he summoned the power of the diamond rune to recall Morning Star back into the pet space where she could continue her sleep. Having done all this, Su Yu got out of bed to wash up and then went out for breakfast. In fact, after reaching the fourth stage, he no longer needed to eat or sleep. A brief meditation could replenish his energy and his magic power was enough to maintain his physiological functions. However, he always felt something was missing if he didnt eat. If he didnt eat for a day, he wouldnt feel hungry, but he would feel ufortable all over. So Su Yu continued his habit, going downstairs to the breakfast shop every morning. A bowl of tofu pudding and 3 yuan dough sticks. After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yu nned to return home and continue ying online games. However, when he approached the apartment building, he saw a kind, elderly man looking at him amicably. This old man was Zhu Guorui. Seeing Su Yu, he greeted warmly, Good morning, Su Yu! I need to talk with you about something. Sure, what is it? Su Yu replied respectfully. Lets talk inside. Zhu Guorui gestured for Su Yu to follow and took the lead towards the building. Su Yu followed him into his home on the first floor. After entering, Su Yu found himself in a vast space. After Zhu Guorui moved into this apartment building, he knocked down all the interior walls, floors, even the load-bearing walls, shear walls, and columns of the first three floors, creating a huge space. Of course, to prevent the building from copsing, he used a special magic array to secure it, making it even sturdier than before. Because there were no walls or floors, the whole area was much more spacious than before. Zhu Guorui had also thoroughly remodeled the area, giving it an ancient appeal. It was hardly recognizable from its original state. Su Yu, please sit. Zhu Guorui pointed to a mahogany bench in the most conspicuous position in the living room. Su Yu didnt stand on ceremony, he just sat directly on the bench and epted a cup of clear tea offered by a servant, feeling as if he had stepped into a scene of a wuxia drama. What is it that you need to discuss with me? Su Yu asked. At the same time, he was a little emotional. Prime Minister Cao lived on the top floor and had made simr renovations to the top three floors, knocking down all interior walls, floors, and columns besides the exterior walls. But the decorations in Prime Minister Caos house had a futuristic style, like robots, electronic dogs,rge 3D projection devices that covered an entire wall all the cutting-edge technology of this era was avable there, forming a stark contrast with Mr. Zhus ce. It seemed that there was a significant difference in personalities among these powerful beings from ancient times. Zhu Guorui paused before slowly responding, The government had a meetingst night about the kitten you brought out. The government has already taken action, and the relevant department has received orders to try to bring NPCs from the game into reality. They can each be revived 10 times, which would be very helpful in our fight against the Skuru. Su Yu nodded. This was within his expectations. The other thing is, Prime Minister Cao and I are both quite worried about you. Worried about me? Su Yu was somewhat puzzled. Why would these two suddenly start worrying about him? Zhu Guorui exined with a smile, What we are concerned about is the n for you to secretly infiltrate Skru Star in a month. We fear it could end up being a one-way trip for you. Before Su Yu could respond, he continued, After all, Prime Minister Cao and I have both ruled this country, and we both umted plenty of resources by using our positions. We have quite a few ways to protect ourselves, and our strength is top-notch among practitioners of the same stage. But what about you? Zhu Guorui looked at Su Yu and shook his head, Your advancement speed is too fast, and you are far from mastering the power level of your present stage. Also, the equipment you brought from the game wont do much to help. You probably dont have many means to protect yourself So Prime Minister Cao and I are both concerned that if you go to Skru Star, you may never return. Hearing Zhu Guoruis words, Su Yus mouth twitchedically. Just a while ago, he was worried that these two old guys might die on Skru Star. He didnt anticipate that they would actually start worrying about him first! However, Zhu Guoruis words did provide some insight for Su Yu. He decided to enhance his power as much as possible during the next while, in addition to his regr training. Su Yu nodded and replied, Dont worry, Ill be mindful of this. And I have the ability to prophesy, which can help me effectively avoid many risks. Its your life, you should take care. Zhu Guorui emphasized. Dont worry. Su Yu said with a smile, changing the subject, But speaking of this trip to Skru Star, why do you and Prime Minister Cao want to go there? This was a question Su Yu had wanted to ask for a long time, but never had the chance to bring up. Su Yu nned to go to Skru Star to make contact with the Skru anti-government organization, and build a bridge formunication between the rebels and humanity. While it made sense for Zhu Guorui to go, Prime Minister Cao was a different story if one were to describe him politely, he would be called an individualist; bluntly, he was selfish. He didnt seem like the type who would willingly sacrifice himself. About that question Zhu Guorui stroked his beard, falling into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said, The most important reason is a shortage of spiritual energy. Shortage of spiritual energy? Yes. Zhu Guorui exined, Even though you secured two Spiritual Spring Eyes for humans, the spiritual energy they provide is far from enough. All the ancient powerhouses are eyeing the spiritual energy in these two Spiritual Spring Eyes, trying their best to get a little more. Plus, the manufacture of the Ghost Searching Ruler consumes arge amount of spiritual energy. So what ends up in my and Prime Minister Caos hands is very little. Su Yu nodded, Soyour n is to go to Skru Star to collect spiritual energy? Yes. Zhu Guorui confirmed, Skru Star originally had a lot of spiritual energy, and they also stole a lot from us, Blue Star. Lets take this opportunity while they still dont know wereing. If we win, we can replenish our powers quickly, and even reach higher levels before the great war. If we lose well, we lose. Well just be like Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, whose tales are just a bit shorter in history. I understand. Su Yu sighed softly. Chapter 299: 299, Main Storyline Quests 76-85 Circle_1 Chapter 299: Main Storyline Quests 76-85 Circle_1 After discussing some less important topics, Su Yu took the elevator back to his home. His mood became somewhat somber. In his previous life, he was a fourth-rank mage, who once harbored the idea of trying his luck on Skru Star, believing life and death to be predestined, and wealth and honor to be decided by fate. However, there were too many people who shared the same idea, and he could never get his turn. The situation back then was quite simr to what Mr. Zhu and Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang are experiencing now! Back in the game, Su Yus figure appeared at the entrance of the Princess House. Before he could contemte on what to do, he immediately received a game prompt: Ding, your main plotline [Goldfinch Empire] stage four has been activated, please proceed to the eastern training grounds, coordinates (3376, 2564) to start the quest. Without any hesitation, Su Yu mounted Dima and headed towards the quest location. In the eastern training grounds. Tina stood at the forefront of the stage, her gold dragon scale double-handed sword in hand and resplendent in her golden armor. Princess Alyssa, dressed in an extraordinarily magnificent red attire, stood behind Tina. Behind Alyssa stood a dozen other senior generals of the army. Beneath the stage was the neatly arranged imperial NPC army and the forceful yer army who had received the quest. They filled the space as far as the eye could see. Alyssa cast her gaze over the sea of people below the stage, then announced in a solemn andmanding tone: Soldiers! The leaders of the rebel forces, the Dukes Landilus, and Anzu Seifer, have been executed. The high-ranking rebels have also all surrendered. Can everyone tell me, what is our next goal? No cavities! A yer immediately shouted in response, creating a ripple ofughter among the band. The NPC soldiers were unaffected, they all uniformly and loudly chorused, Our goal is to recover our lostnds, unify the nation, and make all traitors pay the price! Excellent! Alyssa nodded approvingly. Then she waved her hand, and a pure white token made of Mithril flew out from her Space Ring and into Tinas hand. Marshal, give the order! Understood! With the sword in her left hand and the token held high in her right, Tina loudlymanded, Now, listen to my order, all forces, attack! We obey! We fight for the Empire, we fight for Her Highness, the Princess! The soldiers roared and set out for the outskirts of the city under the guidance of the high-ranking officers. Despite their numbers, the yers swiftly cleared a path for the army. At this moment, Su Yu received notification of task activation: Ding, your main plotline [Goldfinch Empire (76-85/100)] has been updated. Task requirements: Recover the majority of the Goldfinch Empires territory. Task reward: Random reward ording to the degree of taskpletion. There wasnt much to say about the next ten stages of the quest. After the Imperial army exited the city, they headed north, achieving consecutive victories all the way. It took only eight days for the Imperial army to recover Forest City (76-77th stage). The defenders of Forest City didnt even put up a decent resistance before they surrendered. After sixteen days, the g of the victorious Imperial army was nted atop the walls of the imperial capital, Goldfinch City (78-80th stage). The citizens within the city joyfully returned to the embrace of the Empire. 32 dayster, the strongholds of the two Dukes, Maple City and Giant Rock City, were taken, and the families of the two Dukes were utterly annihted. (Rounds 81-85) After the 85th round, nearly half of the Empire had returned under the Empires rule. In the process of retaking the nation, the Imperial Army fought more than twenty battles, bothrge and small. Forest City and the Imperial Capital, Goldfinch City, were easily conquered. However, the subsequent Maple City and Giant Rock City, the nobility of these two cities knew that even if they surrendered, they would not be able to escape retribution, so their resistance was extremely fierce. Of course, in the end, they could not escape the fate of defeat and ruination. Su Yu was always at the forefront of these battles. He needed a lot of military merits to exchange for [Tinas Blood], so he was exceptionally active on the battlefield, striving to gain as many military merits as possible. After defeating the Seifu family and taking Maple City, he finally umted enough military merits to buy all of the remaining 386 drops of [Tinas Blood] from Tina at the quartermasters ce. He also used the remaining military merits to exchange for numerous rare and epic quality equipment and potions for the guild members. Moreover, Su Yu did not forget to use Tina and the princesss good favor to issue thousands and tens of thousands of side quests to the yers on their behalf. Harvesting experience from these side quests, the Experience Points in the [Experience Crystal Stone] umted from 53.54 million to 64.89 million, providing millions of cat food for Morning Star. Speaking of Morning Star, there was a small episode that took ce over this period of time. Su Yu only spent about 3 hours a day on the main storyline. Other than cultivating rtionships with the princess and Tina, he spent virtually all of the rest of his time practicing spells in the Mage Tower. On the day that Forest City was retaken, Su Yu returned to the Mage Tower with Morning Star. On the third floor of the Mage Tower, little Katie transported arge amount of monster materials from downstairs, ssified them, and threw them into the Mana Pool as requested by Su Yu; Su Yu sat cross-legged beside the Mana Pool, absorbing the purified magic power extracted by the pool; Morning Starzilyy beside Su Yu, draining the energy stored in the Experience Crystal Stone. Morning Star recovered quickly. In just one day, she went from level 2 to level 10,parable inbat power to Warcraft of level 30-40. Noticing that Morning Star reached level 10, Su Yu paused his practice and curiously asked, Morning Star, what exactly is your second form when you reach level 10? Why is the setting blocking me from seeing it? Hmph, I am not going to tell you! Morning Star turned her head away without responding to Su Yu. Su Yu just smiled and didnt say anything, activating the magic circle below him to continue his cultivation. Just then, he received a game alert that someone was ringing the doorbell at his home in real life C he had a visitor. So Su Yu said to Morning Star, I have a guest in the real world. Ill be offline for a short while, but Ill be right back. Just now, Morning Star was rxing leisurely. Hearing Su Yus words, she immediately perked up, jumping onto Su Yus shoulder. Youre logging out? Im in! I havent finished my mobile game that I downloadedst night yet! Mobile game Su Yu was speechless. Morning Star yed until 4 a.m.st night. It turns out that she was not only researching online but had also started ying mobile games. However, Su Yu did not dwell on this issue, instead saying, It might just be a courier delivery, Ill be back online in a few minutes. But thats still time! Hurry up! Morning Star activated the diamond-shaped rune on her forehead and voluntarily entered Su Yus pet space. Su Yu was helpless with this inte-addicted kitten, and could only choose to take her offline with him. Back in the real world. As soon as Su Yu took off his helmet, Morning Star shot out of the pet space, pouncing towards Su Yus phone on the bed, more eager than she normally was for dried fish. Seeing this, Su Yu shook his head helplessly. This cat is truly beyond saving. Just then, there was another knock on the door, apanied by a crisp and youthful voice, Hello, is anyone there? Does Nemesis live here? Chapter 300: 300、Cat-eared girl? _1 Chapter 300: 300Cat-eared girl? _1 This voice Su Yu was slightly taken aback. The voice was very simr to [Sky Dragon] in the game, with at least an 80% simrity. But how could Sky Dragon possibly have found this ce? Without overthinking, he walked up and opened the door. As he looked outside as soon as he opened the door. Standing outside was a little girl in a red hat and a red dress with a suitcase that was even bigger than her. Excuse me, areare you Nemesis? The little girl widened her eyes and looked at Su Yu in disbelief. Of course, this little girl was none other than Sky Dragon. After going through great trouble, passing through several qualifications checks, and finally signing a strict confidentiality agreement, she had obtained Su Yus address. But having arrived at Su Yus house, and looking at Su Yus face, she found it hard to believe her own eyes for a moment. In the game, [Nemesis]s appearance rating was only 5 to 6 points, just average, barely making the handsome category. But he was too attractive in the real world! A full 10 points! Even many male celebrities who relied on their appearance and had heavily retouched photos would not be as good-looking as him! If it wasnt for the fact that the man in front of her had the same distinct facial features as [Nemesis] from the game, Sky Dragon might have suspected that she had knocked on the wrong door. Yes, Im Nemesis, and you are? Su Yu looked at the little girl and suddenly felt something was not quite right. Hearing Su Yus voice, Sky Dragon was finally able to rx. His voice was simr to that of [Nemesis] in the game, which could confirm that he was the real person. I am [Sky Dragon], my real name is Xu Xiaotian, and Im happy to meet you! The little girl smiled and reached out her hand to Su Yu. Cant believe its really you! Su Yu couldnt help but wipe his sweat and shook hands with Xu Xiaotian: How did you find my house? Where are your parents? Ah, because I dont get along with my parents, so I had to run away from home. Xu Xiaotian dropped her head and made a sad face: A kind-hearted man named Zhong Feng gave me your address, so I came here, would you consider letting me live with you? Su Yu: He didnt know what to say. Zhong Feng told Sky Dragon his address? And without any prior approval from him? Did those authorities lose their minds? Why make such a ridiculous decision? Seeing Su Yu silent for a long time, Xiaotians eyes swiveled around and said, Since you didnt respond, Ill take that as a default agreement! Thank you for epting me! After saying that, she happily hoisted herrge suitcase, ready to step inside the house. Hold on, Xiaotian, calm down! Su Yu quickly blocked the door with his body, feeling a headacheing on. At the same time, he reached into his pocket to take out his phone to call Xue Wenli and have her take the little girl away as soon as possible. But when he reached into his pocket, he found nothing. His phone wasnt there. Just at that critical moment, another clear and innocent voice from inside the house asked, Master, do we have visitors? Su Yu: Turning his head towards the room, he saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old wearing a ck and white maid outfit and white stockings, slowly walking towards him from the side of the bed. This little girl was extremely cute, with pale blue hair and two pointy cat ears on her head. A a cat-eared girl? Seeing those two lively cat ears, Su Yu almost instantly realized C wasnt this Morning Star? This must be Morning Star! He was a bit bbergasted. Howe Morning Star also has a human form? Could it be that her Special Form unlocked at level 10 is the human form? No wonder she tried hard to keep it a secret from him While Su Yu was dazed, Xiaotian peeked in and saw Morning Star in her cat-eared girl form. Now it was not only Su Yu who was stunned, but Xiaotian too. Zhong Feng had clearly said that Nemesis lived alone. Why was there a maid in the room? That maid too was too young! She looked around 7 or 8 years old. Who are you? Are you Nemesiss daughter or sister? Xiaotian asked with hostility. Morning Star in human form shook her head and said in a gentle tone, Neither, we are not rted by blood, he picked me up to keep his bed warm. Keeping the bed warm?! Xiaotians voice increased by an octave. Yes! Morning Star walked over and hugged Su Yus arm, Thats how I slept with his arm this wayst night, isnt that right, master? Su Yu: They did share a bedst night, but Morning Star was a cat then! A cat! Ah! Besides, he didnt know when she sneaked into his bed. After hearing this, Xiaotian blew up: Nemesis! You actually sleep with a girl who isnt rted to you by blood and even have her address you as master? Youre a pervert, I really misjudged you! Summoning strength from somewhere, Xiaotian hoisted the suitcase, which wasrger than herself, and ran toward the elevator door. Xiaotian, let me ex.. Su Yu started to rify. But reconsidering his words, If Xiaotian doesnt want to hear his exnation (very likely), it would be wasted effort on his part and it could even make things worse; If his exnation sessfully convinces Xiaotian, and she wants to live with him again with herrge suitcase, what should he do? While Su Yu was in a dilemma, Xiaotian had already grabbed her huge suitcase and entered the elevator. She didnt even give Su Yu a second nce, apparently havingpletely given up on him. Su Yu kept weighing choices in his heart, and finally decided not to follow her. After the elevator door closed, Su Yu turned back to look at Morning Star. Morning Star had somehow transformed back into a cat and was sitting on the bed ying with her phone. Su Yu, with a sudden burst of anger, stormed over and snatched the phone, coldly saying, The phone is confiscated! And Im punishing you by not letting you y with the phone for seven days. Why?! Morning Star blinked when her phone was snatched away, then she quickly put her guard up. Her back arched, and the fur on her back stood on end: Su! Give me back my phone! I helped you solve such a big problem, how could you be so ungrateful?! Solving problems? Su Yu raised an eyebrow: Dont you know you are tarnishing my reputation? If this gets out, how will people look at me? My glorious image in peoples eyes is all destroyed because of you! But you cant deny me the right to use my cell phone! Give it back to me! Morning Star felt like biting him. But considering the huge power difference between her and Su Yu, she had to let go of this idea. Actually, Su Yu really wanted to pin Morning Star down, stroke her thoroughly like he did yesterday, to tell her in practice who the master was. But considering that Morning Star could now transform into human form, it would be really awkward if she suddenly changed into human form while he was petting her? So Su Yu could only punish her by prohibiting her from using her phone for the moment, and n to handle her slowlyter on. Chapter 301: 301, No, I can’t give you _1 Chapter 301: No, I cant give you _1 After grabbing the mobile phone, Su Yu called Xue Wenli and told her everything about what just happened and the misunderstanding caused by Morningstars transformation into a human form. Xue Wenli and Su Yu were old partners. After listening to Su Yus description, she quickly understood what he meant and replied, I get it, Ill ask the security team around the apartment to protect Xu Xiaotian. Ill also exin everything to Xiaotian. Although Xiaotian was a big-shot in the game, ranking within the top hundred among hundreds of millions of yers, she was still just an ordinary little girl offline, who needed protection. Thanks, Su Yu sighed. But then he seemed to think of something, and asked, Hold on, you werent involved in Zhong Feng giving Xiaotian my address, were you? Huh? Hahaha, how could that be possible? After saying this, Xue Wenli immediately hung up the phone. Su Yu: Wasnt she acting suspiciously guilty? After hearing Su Yu and Xue Wenlis conversation, Morningstar was rolling on the bed,ughing, Hahaha! I didnt expect that you, Nemesis, would not dare to exin yourself and even had someone else do the exining for you. Youre such a wimp! So youre saying youre brave? Su Yu raised an eyebrow. Are you kidding me? Of course, Im brave wait, what are you doing? Stay away! While Morningstar was talking, she saw Su Yu quickly approaching her with his big hands reaching towards her. Morningstar tried to evade it. However, she was just a first-level kitten; how could she escape from the hands of a fourth-level Su Yu? It didnt take long for her to be caught and thoroughly rubbed by Su Yu. Meow~ Meow~ Meow~ Morningstar struggled hard in Su Yus hands. But after half a minute, she suddenly thought, could morphing into a human form let her escape Su Yus grasp? Thinking of this, she quickly shifted into her human form, turning back into the cat-eared girl she was before. Then she curled up trembling in the corner of the bed, holding a pillow and looking pitifully at Su Yu. Su Yu: When Morningstar was in her cat form, he felt fine to pet her, but when she transformed into a human form He wasnt a pervert; he genuinely couldnt do anything to her now. Out of helplessness, he could only send Morningstar back to her pet space and let her go for a while. Then Su Yu put on his helmet and entered the game. After entering the game, the first thing Su Yu did was open his friend list. Seeing Snow Leopard online, he immediately questioned, Why did you tell Sky Dragon my real address? Why didnt you ask me first? Snow Leopard: Isnt she your girlfriend four years from now? Su Yu: Su Yu: I told you it was a joke! Snow Leopard: But she took it seriously! Snow Leopard: This is just like a scumbag guy messing with a girls feelings and then saying it was all just for fun. Can that be justified on a moral level? Su Yu: Snow Leopard: Moreover, weve tried our best to set up obstacles for Sky Dragon, like telling her you dont want a girlfriend to distract you, you just need a maid to cook and clean every day. Snow Leopard: But to our surprise, she agreed without any hesitation! Su Yu: Snow Leopard: Sky Dragon said she will definitely not distract you from your career. She will take care of all the household chores including cooking and cleaning. Plus, shes shown Xue Wenli her decent cooking skills, which she ims to have learned from watching cooking videos. Snow Leopard: Also, we thought that if we sent a beauty like my sister to your ce, you might be swayed by your hormones and get distracted. Sky Dragon is only 14 years old, youd certainly refrain from doing anything inappropriate with her, thus avoiding any distraction. Snow Leopard: With that said, we gave her your address. Looking at the long chunks of text sent by Snow Leopard, Su Yu didnt know whether tough or cry. He didnt expect ament he made casually to have such serious repercussions. From now on, he must be extra careful with his words! Su Yu: Lets just leave it at that for this time. In the future, such decisions must only be made after consulting me. Do you understand? Snow Leopard: Understood. Well make sure to inform you in advance next time. With that, this little interlude came to an end. Afterward, Su Yu personally exined everything to Sky Dragon. And after witnessing Morning Stars transformation into a human, Sky Dragon eventually chose to forgive him. Inspired by Snow Leopard, Su Yu also introduced a series of Nanny Training ns. He used phone privileges as bait to entice Morning Star to do chores. For example, tidying up the wardrobe earned her one hour of phone use, sweeping the floor earned her two hours, washing and drying clothes earned her an hour, and so on. With Morning Stars tireless cleaning efforts, Su Yu had a ratherfortable week. It seemed as if a blessing came in disguise. Back to the game. On July 23rd, the eighth day of the opening of the fourth phase of the main line quest, Empires forces captured Maple City. Catters rebellion was officially crushed and Maple City returned to the rule of Goldfinch royalty. After exchanging 386 drops of [Tinas Blood] at the Quartermaster, Su Yu happily headed towards the city lords manor in Maple City to turn in his quest to Princess Alyssa. Inside Maple Citys city lords manor, Su Yu smoothly met with Princess Alyssa. Alyssa sat on the main seat in the hall, listening to the reports from the officers below. Her face glowed with radiance, indicating that she was in high spirits. Seeing Su Yu arrive, she smiled with joy and said: Nemesis, youve done well over the past month! In every single battle, youve not only always stood at the front line but also made significant contributions with your strategic advice! So, what do you want this time? Alyssa looked upon Su Yu with satisfaction. If it werent for Tina, she would have seriously considered bestowing Su Yu with a prince title and subsequently marrying him. After pondering a bit, Su Yu slowly said: If possible, I want arge [Space Ring] and a [Fragment of Hifans Soul]. In the past, Su Yu would have wished for skill books and golden equipment. But a few days ago, his conversation with Zhu Guorui reminded him that he must prepare for his journey to Skru Star. Once he reached Skru Star, he would have to carry many things equipment, potions, food, clothes and, if possible, a few tons of precious metals. (The Skru didnt ept Blue Stars currency; Blue Star natives could only barter with precious metals like gold.) So he needed a space ring that was asrge as possible. As for the [Fragment of Hifans Soul]. The [Fragment of Hifans Soul] would allow him to use the [Shadow Priest] ss skills 100 times. Although the [Shadow Priest] ss did less damage than others, skills like [Shadow Frenzy], [Mental Theft], and [Mind Control] were extremely useful. Su Yu initially chose the mage ss because he was more familiar with it. Otherwise, he was really tempted to y the priest. Having voiced his wishes, Su Yu looks up at Alyssa with hopeful eyes. The princess should fulfill his request, right? However, to his surprise, Alyssa only shook her head with a smile: No, I cannot give you these things. Chapter 302: 302, Super Equipment – [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain]_1 Chapter 302: Super Equipment C [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain]_1 Why? Su Yu was stunned. After all, considering his active performance in the major battles, this reward was not too much. Besides, given his rtionship with Alyssa, she shouldnt refuse him, should she? The princess sat in the main seat, her left hand resting on her cheek, smiling down at Su Yu. Then she answered, Because these rewards are notmensurate with your merit, I will give you a better one! With that said, she stood up from the main seat and walked slowly towards Su Yu. As she walked, she took off a ne from around her neck. The ne was made of a material that resembled pink diamond, and at the end of the ne hung a bright blue gemstone the size of a quail egg. The surface of the bright blue gem was dotted with starlight. Just one look at it made Su Yu feel very insignificant in front of it. This is a treasure passed down by our Royal Family, the Golden Flower n, probably with a history of over a thousand years. Now I am giving you this ne, you must take good care of it! Alyssa slowly walked in front of Su Yu, stood on her tiptoes, and put the ne around his neck. Ding, your main storyline [Golden Flower Empire (76-85)/100] has ended, and you have received the reward: [Golden Sparrow Interfacial Chain (Legend)] x1. [Golden Sparrow Interfacial Chain (Legend)] Ne Trait 1: Your reputation in the [Golden Flower Empire] is fixed at [Worship]. Trait 2: A small dimension, which is broken, is fused inside, with an area of 1.36 square kilometers. Trait 3: Additional skill [Space Mastery (Passive)]: Your understanding and learning ability of space is greatly enhanced, and the effect of space system spells +30% Trait 4: Additional skill [Space Cut]: Cuts the space of the target area, causing heavy physical damage to all creatures in the target area. The damage and range of space cut depend on the summoners strength, with a cooldown of 24 hours. Trait 5: Additional skill [Space Lock]: Locks the space within a radius of 2 kilometers centered on you, all targets except you cannot use space system spells, scrolls. It is invalid against targets with a higher level than you,sts for 3 minutes, with a cooldown of 24 hours. Note: The first empress Rolis Golden Flower created this with all the resources of her nation, its value is truly priceless. Alyssa smiled at Su Yu, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: The opening spell of the ne is in Elvish Language: Lolth tlu majal ultrinnan zhah xundus. The meaning is Praise Rolis, all victoriese from her, remember it. But Su Yu waspletely stunned, Alyssa, isnt this too valuable! Are you sure you want to give it to me? The properties of the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] are not very important apart from Trait 2. But this Trait 2 is unbelievably powerful! It has a broken dimension fused inside! This multiplies its value countless times! If all equipment and items in the game were rated, with a maximum score of 100, the [Embrace of the Seraphim] would be about 0.01, the [Zhongya Hourss] would be about 0.1 due to thest bug trait, the [Moon God n Badge] would be 41, a strange object like the [World Tree Heart] would be about 68 And the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain], at least a 65 or higher! Its the kind of equipment that doesnt go out of style even in the 8th order! This level of equipment reward would be more than enough even at the end of the 100th round, but the princess had given it to him now. This gave Su Yu a surreal feeling. He wasnt dreaming, was he! But feeling the small hand of Alyssa in front of him, it felt real, not like a dream. Alyssas face flushed a little when Su Yu suddenly touched her hand. She smiled and said, I had wanted to give you this ne a long time ago, but I never had the right opportunity Ill give it to you now that I have the chance. You must take good care of it! Of course, Alyssa knew very well the value of this ne. With this ne, it would be no problem to exchange it for a piece ofnd one-fifth the size of Orleans City in the surrounding empires and kingdoms. As for spiritual energy coinsthis level of treasure is not worth mentioning in exchange for them. If it really appeared in the auction hall of Pearl City, even if the price was 10 billion, the big businessmen of Pearl City might grit their teeth and buy it collectively. This is precisely what is meant by priceless. Alyssa gave the ne to Su Yu because she knew that he would use it frequently once he had it. Every time he used it in the future, he would think of her, and that was enough. Alyssa, thanks Su Yu didnt know what to say in thanks. There is no need to be polite. Alyssa covered Su Yus mouth with a smile. Just use it. I hope you defeat the invaders from the different dimension soon. And promise me that you wont die on the battlefield! Okay, Ill definitely take care of myself. Su Yu promised. At the same time, Su Yu couldnt help sighing inwardly. Both Alyssa and Tina were very nice to him. If he really had to choose one of them, he didnt know who to choose, the thought itself was a headache. But the problem of choice will be dealt withter! The urgency now is to figure out how to deal with the Skuru people. Otherwise, everything will be in vain. Alyssa turned around and walked towards the main seat, saying as she walked, As for the soul shard of Xi Fan you asked for lets do this, when the war in the next phase is over, Ill give that to you as a reward. Keerderon? The princess turned to the guard beside her. Here! Keerderon immediately knelt towards the princess. Keerderons entire family died in the big robbery of Forest City, and he could see that he had notpletelye out of the shadow yet, his face was still very grim. Tomorrow, you go and find Master Sharon and have her extract the shard and bring it over. The princess ordered. Understood, Your Highness! Keerderon immediately answered respectfully. But Su Yu was somewhat confused, Your Highness, what is the next phase of the war that you mentioned? Now that Maple City and Giant Rock City have been recovered, and more than 90% of the territory belongs to the Empire, the war should have ended, right? Why is there still a next phase of the war? Alyssa smiled slightly, Nemesis, do you remember the goal our soldiers shouted when we set out from Orleans City? Goal? Su Yu thought for a moment and said, I remember at that time the soldiers were shouting Our goal is to recover lostnd, unify the whole country, and make all traitors pay the price Oh, I see. Su Yu suddenly realized, thats what the princess meant! As long as you understand. Alyssa looked to the west, her eyes glinting coldly, The Kingdom of Kunke, the Kingdom of Lu Man, the Xier Business Federationits time to make these opportunistic traitors pay the price! Chapter 303: 303, Taking action against neighboring small countries_1 Chapter 303: Taking action against neighboring small countries_1 The human world in Evolution is not limited to the three major empires led by Goldfinch. Just around the Goldfinch Empire, there are 10rge kingdoms, and 126 small duchies and city-states. The situation for the other two empires is pretty much the same. The strength of these kingdoms, duchies, and city-states is not that great. In terms of the quantity of high-ranking strong individuals: Slightly stronger kingdoms, such as the Kunke kingdom mentioned by the princess, have a seventh-tier legendary individual in power. However, the kingdoms that rank lower have only a sixth-tier Sanctuary peak at best. As for the duchies and city-states, a fourth-tier individual like Su Yu would be treated as a treasure should he go there. The Goldfinch Empire faces the sea on its southeast, all these kingdoms, duchies, and city-states are distributed solely on the north and west sides. Originally, these small countries were tributary states of the Goldfinch Empire, giving 10% of their annual tax revenue to the empire. In return, the Goldfinch Empire would protect their national security, preventing them from being destroyed by powerful external enemies. This situation didnt change until 30 years ago. There was a civil war in the Goldfinch Empire 30 years ago, and the north was upied by the Rebel Catter. In consequence, more than half of these small countries threw their lot in with the rebel Catter, naturally cutting off the tribute to the Empire. A few months back, when the princess chose to abandon Forest City and move to Orleans City, the Rebel Catter was in an absolutely advantageous position, and these small countries almost all chose to side with the Rebel Kalet. Not long ago, in the decisive battle in Orleans City, many of the high-ranking rebels came from these small countries, willing to throw their lives away for the rebel forces. Now that the Rebel Catter has been destroyed, its time to settle ounts with these small countries. The princess sat in a principal seat, smilingly looking at Su Yu: Because of the war, our financial deficit is very serious. Roughly estimating, we have a deficit of 40 to 50 billion, and this figure is still expandingNemesis, I believe I still owe you a few million spiritual energy coins! Hahaha, yes indeed, Su Yuughed. Now, all the high-end military products produced by Aphi City were sold to the imperial troops, adding up to several million. However, Princess, Su Yu said seriously: Please let the part of the military expense you owe me slide. Additionally, I will provide the empire with the weapons manufactured by Aphi City free of charge for the next year to enhance thebat power of the imperial army! After all, the princess had given him a priceless [Goldfinch ne Ne]. If he didnt show his gratitude, that would be too stingy. Thank you very much! The princessughed. The reason I told you about our financial situation is for you and Tina to take away as many funds as possible from these small countries when dealing with them. Of course, these small countries citizens dont have much money. Its better to take from their royal families and the nobility, scrape it off mercilessly! Scrape them until they are begging for food, so they will learn their lesson. The princess hadnt forgotten her initial spirit, still maintaining her character of loving the people as if they were her own children. Su Yu nodded and promised: Dont worry, Your Highness. I will strive to drain these small countries dry and make them understand the consequences of betrayal! However, after thinking about it, Su Yu felt that something was not right. Therefore, he added, But, if we confiscate the wealth of these small country nobilities, these nobilities will certainly raise taxes, shifting the cost to ordinary people in the end, and the ones who get hurt will still be themoners of these small countries. Thoughtfully, Alyssa nodded: What you said makes sense, I hadnt thought of that. If it were me, Su Yu suggested, while we are confiscating the wealth of these small country nobilities, we must notify them that they are prohibited from increasing taxes on the citizens for the next 5-10 years, and they can not plunder the citizens property to arge extent. Once we discover the above situation, the imperial army will once again besiege their city, we can then harvest another round. After thinking for a while, Alyssa replied: Okay, lets do as you say! As such, we can also get the support of themon people from these small countries, reducing the resistance we face. Ding, your main storyline has been updated![Goldfinch Empire86-95/100]. Mission requirement: Together with [Tina Garcia], attack countries such as the Kunke Kingdom, Lu Man Kingdom, and Xier Commercial Federation, and confiscate a total value of 30 billion spiritual energy coins worth of wealth. Mission progress: 0/30 billion spiritual energy coins. Mission reward: [Princess Alyssa] will decide on her own, the more reasonably confiscated wealth, the more generous the mission reward. After bidding farewell to the princess, Su Yu headed towards the military camp outside the city. In the military camps main tent, Su Yu met Tina who was dealing with military affairs, and informed her about the princesss idea. Upon hearing the princesss decision, Tinas eyes sparkled: I was worried about the empires fiscal deficit a while ago. The wealth of therge nobilities in Maple City and Giant Rock City is not enough to fill this deficit. It seems that Her Highness the princess had a n all along! Tina turned to her deputy: Fiona, inform all the senior generals, staff officers and [Antondidas] to meet in the main tent in half an hour. Yes, maam. Fiona bowed respectfully, then quickly left to convey the message. A few minutester, a meeting to draft war ns was held in the military tent. The empires generals, except those who really could not attend, all arrived. As for Antondidas, he was still under the control of the princess, and his [Group Teleportation Skill] could y a crucial role in the future war. So, Tina also summoned him. In the military tent, these generals looked surprised upon hearing the princesss decision. They didnt expect the princess to make such a bold decision. But not a single one of them opposed it; indeed, these traitors should pay a price. However, a high-ranking staff officer called Lance voiced his concerns: Sir Nemesis, naturally, I fully support Princess returning the disloyalty of these small countries. However, I find your suggestion of strictly forbidding these small country nobilities from raising taxes on citizens inappropriate. Oh? In what way do you think its inappropriate? Su Yu, stroking his chin, looked at him with interest. Here is the thing, Sir Nemesis. Lance sorted out his thoughts, and slowly said: Now, although we have recovered the entire territory of the Goldfinch, the domestic situation is still a mess. Compared to its peak, the current Empire has only a quarter of its high-ranking individuals. At this time, our best bet would be to recover and maintain rtions with neighboring countries, keep harmony, and avoid major conflicts. Su Yus eyes twinkled slightly: So, whats your perspective? Lance immediately replied: My idea is to ask these small countries to immediately make up for all the tribute for the past 30 years, and as punishment, they must pay double. Our army can go for a walk in the borders of these small countries as a symbol, casually seize a few towns. In this way, our losses are negligible and the achieved effect is the best. Chapter 304: 304, The goal, Haiyan City! _1 Chapter 304: The goal, Haiyan City! _1 Hearing Lances suggestion, the other generals and staff members present voiced their agreement: What Lance has said makes sense. Nemesis, the army has just gone through a major battle and needs rest, its indeed inappropriate to engage in another long-distancebat. I too think we could consider Lances suggestion. This operation is time-consuming and exhausting, and most importantly, it is likely to offend people. Considering their own interests, these generals all tended to avoid major conflicts. However, Tina did not support Lance. She smiled as she nced at Su Yu, waiting for his decision. Su Yu quieted the room with a gesture of his hand. Then he leaned forward over the conference table, his palms t on its surface, and smiled at Lance: Lance, let me ask you, if the royal families and nobilities of these small countries shift the pressure of tribute to themon people through heavy taxation, what should we do? If they shift it, they shift it. Lance looked puzzled. What does the fate of themon people in their country have to do with us? As long as we reap the benefits, shouldnt that be enough? Upon hearing his reply, Su Yus gaze gradually turned dangerous: Your words do not align with the principles of governance upheld by the Princess. The Princess highly values peoples livelihood and always puts the interests of the people first. Its precisely because of this that she has gained the support and endorsement of the vast majority ofmon people. But we no longer need the support ofmon people! Lance patient exined to Su Yu from his experienced disposition: When the war began, we indeed needed the support of themon people, so we pacified them with nice words. Now that the war has ended, who cares about the life and death of thesemon folks? Isnt it enough to provide them with a basic living guarantee and to ensure that they wont cause trouble? Upon hearing Lances words, the other generals and staff members nodded understandably. Although the Princess had always been kind tomon people and issued various policies that are beneficial to them in education, healthcare, and finance, they all felt that the Princess was putting on a show. They believed that once themon people no longer had any value to be utilized, the Princess would slowly repeal these policies. Emperors, kings, and nobles in history were all like this, iming to work for the people at first, but in the end, they always put the interests of their own ruling group first. Seeing the attitudes of these generals and staff members, Su Yu shook his head with a smile. It seemed that Alyssa was going to disappoint them. Su Yu looked at Lance, crossed his arms, and said with a smile, Your thoughts seem to be out of sync with the national policy In that case, why dont you go back home and reflect on where you went wrong? Su Yu gave Tina a meaningful look. Understanding his gesture, Tina stood and said, Lance, youve been relieved of your duties as a Senior Staff Officer, you may now leave the camp. What?! Lance had a shocked expression. Just because he told the truth, he was being expelled from the camp? What sort of military order was this? Just as he was about to argue his case, Tinas deputy, Fiona, pulled out a ceremonial sword and pointed it at him, the chill from the de made him shudder. Faced with Fionas intimidating stance, Lance immediately backed down and rushed out of the camp. Seeing Lance being expelled from the tent, the other generals and staff members were so surprised they were at a loss for words. This man has quite the temper. Just one disagreement and he dismisses a high-ranking officer? Su Yus gaze swept across the tent at the right time: Does anyone have any objections? None! Absolutely none! Nemesis, youre absolutely right! This man should have been dismissed long ago! Lance dared to utter such outrageousments, he is indeed not fit to be a staff officer any longer! The generals and staff members present hastily responded one after another, not a single one willing to speak in defense of Lance. They were afraid that if they spoke up for Lance, they too would be kicked out of the tent by Su Yu, utterly bewildered. Hmm, thats good. Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. From now on, everyone needs to follow themands of Tina and myself closely and diligently study the policy instructions of the Princess. Anyone who dares to question my n like Lance did, will suffer the same fate! Understood, Nemesis! We will certainly study hard when we return and we will not let you down. The generals and staff officers responded one after another, not even daring to let out a breath. Now, Su Yu was thew. Whatever he said, was. A short whileter, Fionas subordinates brought in arge map, more than a persons height. The map detailed depiction of ten kingdom states and over a hundred city-states. Whether it was mountains, rivers, routes, main cities, or troop deployments, all were detailed marked on the map. Su Yu, Tina, and the generals and staff officers present discussed in detail on how to deploy troops, how to arrange military force, the action routes of high-ranking warriors, and what goals were expected to be achieved, amongst other items. An hour and a halfter. Su Yu pointed to a coastal city on the far west of the map and said, Ive made my decision. This will be our first target, [Haiyan City]! Nemesis, isnt this a bit too aggressive? Vice Marshal Lucas of the Empire queried: [Haiyan City] is the capital of the [Hills Commercial Alliance], there are seventh-ss warriors stationed there. And most importantly, [Haiyan City] is too far from the Empire. We would have to cross Kunke Kingdom to get there, and even a mixed elite unit of second and third-ss warriors would need at least seven days of marching to arrive. Vice Marshal Lucas, who had acted as Marshal for some time before Tinas ascension, was seasoned and prudent in the use of military force, always preferring modesty and steadiness. He had never been fond of such adventurous and aggressive attack strategies. The strategy proposed by Su Yu seemed like leaving out the first three bosses in a dungeon run, using speed to evade them and go directly for thest boss. Too risky, too aggressive. After hearing Su Yus words, Tinas eyes lit up: Nemesis, I understand what you mean. Youre afraid that the nobles of other kingdoms will transfer their assets, arent you? Su Yu snapped his fingers: Correct! Tina, youre so clever! [Haiyan City] is located on the far western side of the continent, almost symmetrically aligned with [Pearl City] of the Goldfinch Empire. If most of the maritime trade on the eastern side of the continent goes through [Pearl City], then more than half of the maritime trade on the western side of the continent passes [Haiyan City]. If Su Yu adopted a conservative marching strategy from east to west, the kingdoms and nation-states along the route would transfer their assets through [Haiyan City] to other continents for safekeeping. Consequently, Su Yus taskpletion rate would certainly not be high. If Su Yu directly took out the enemys heart, firstly defeating [Haiyan City], then the assets of these nation-states and kingdoms would have no way to be transferred and would fall into Su Yus pocket. Chapter 305: 305, come to my room tonight, I’ll show you some good stuff _1 Chapter 305:e to my room tonight, Ill show you some good stuff _1 Deputy Marshal Lucas slightly furrowed his brows: Although I understand your intentions, I still feel its somewhat unreasonable. Arent we being too reckless? Oh, do you have an opinion? Su Yu raised an eyebrow. Lucas jumped and quickly shook his head: No, no, of course not. You make the final call! Despite his high-ranking position as Deputy Marshal and his numerous contributions in the restoration war, no one could prevent Su Yu from demoting him if he decided to do so. Thus, he definitely didnt dare to challenge Su Yu. Then it is decided! Su Yu pped his hands, turning to Antondidas who was standing at the far end of the camp. Antondidas was dressed in a deep blue mage robe, holding a magic staff taller than himself in his right hand. His eyes were now fully lit with starlight, his face expressionless. He was obviously under deep control. Antondidas, how many people can your [Group Teleportation Skill] carry from here to Haiyan City? Su Yu asked. As if a machine was starting, Antondidass body rattled. Approximately how far is it? he asked. Su Yu nced at the scale on the map and responded: A total of 3785 kilometers. For such a long distance Antondidas stroked his long beard that reached his belt: If teleporting seventh-tier beings, I can probably teleport 2 people. The weaker those being teleported, the more I can teleport. Stroking his chin, Su Yu asked: What if all those youre teleporting are first-tier adventurers? Probably Antondidas pondered for a moment, then replied: Between 10,000 to 12,000 people. The specific number would depend on the actual spatial fluctuation. 12,000 people thatss enough! Su Yu was satisfied with this figure. Antondidas continued, However, teleporting that many people would essentially deplete my mana. It would take at least two weeks to recover. Alright then, well just teleport 10,000 people. Thatll leave you with a bit of mana. Su Yu made a decision. Antondidas bowed respectfully: Thank you! Su Yu had it all figured out: these 10,000 slots would be allocated to the yers! After all, yers wouldnt die. Having them defeated in battle would just mean offline for half an hour; Moreover, getting the yers to raid, theyd get quest items. Unlike NPCs, they wouldnt privately pocket the loot. This would be very beneficial for his questpletion. So, Su Yu opened the [Guild Chatroom] and posted a message: Urgently recruiting 10,000 elites for the main questline, help a newbie out! Red-Eyed ck Dragon: [Blood-spit Emoji] Newbie? Where are you new or cute? Su Yu: Heh, Zhen Hong, this mission doesnt include you. Red-Eyed ck Dragon: I was wrong! Please, big brother! I was really wrong!!! [Horrified Emoji] Laser Pen: Boss Ke, what kind of mission is this? Im also a newbie, I really want to know. Su Yu: Its a raiding mission, and I have a hunch that the reward for this mission will be evenrger than the previous massive battles! Laser Pen: Raiding? I like that! Laser Pen: By the way, Boss Ke, do you want to duel? Su Yu: He suddenly felt like kicking this person out of the chatroom. But speaking of duels Su Yu closed the chatroom interface and looked at Antondidas: Antondidas,e to my room tonight, Ive got something good to show you. As you wish. Antondidas responded without hesitation. All the people in the tent: ??? Deputy Marshal Lucas was all the more confused. Whats the deal with Nemesis? Its one thing to flirt with the princess and Marshal Tina, but now hes into this old guy? What kind of bizarre taste is this? Su Yu didnt bother exining: Alright, lets conclude the meeting! Well have three days of rest and adjustment. The army will depart precisely at 10 AM in three days! Understood! The generals in the tent responded loudly. When night fell, as agreed, Antondidas arrived at Su Yus residence. Su Yus residence was located in the affluent West part of Maple City, originally a property owned by Duke Anzu Seifer. After the Seifer familys demise, the Princess casually gave him this house. This was where he would entertain NPC guests. With an expressionless face, Antondidas followed the servant into the house. In a quiet secret room deep within the courtyard, he sessfully met Su Yu. Master Nemesis. Antondidas respectfully bowed to Su Yu: May I ask why have you called on me? Before Su Yu could respond, he quickly added, The princess has ordered that if you make any odd requests, I can refuse. Oh? An odd request? What did the princess mean by that? Su Yu asked, pretending to be naive. Well Antondidas hesitated, unsure of how to respond. Never mind that. I called you here to take a look at this. Su Yu waved his hand and pulled out the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] from his backpack. The treasure and the [Gods Tribe Badge] were always kept in his backpack. He seldom wore them as they were too precious and he was afraid to attract jealousy from stronger NPCs. This is The moment Antondidas saw the dazzling ne in Su Yus hand, his eyes widened, and his breathing became noticeably heavier. This ne was a treasure to space magic practitioners! An endless source of knowledge could be gained from merely divining its secrets. To say it was the graduate ne of space magic practitioners certainly wouldnt be an exaggeration! Seeing his graduate ne in Su Yus hands, how could he not be excited? If it wasnt for the contract he signed with the Princess, he really would have wanted to seize it by force! After taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Antondidas looked at Su Yu, Master Nemesis, is there anything else you need? Surely you didnt invite me here just to show off this ne? Of course not. Su Yu shook his head with a smile, then his expression turned serious, I called you here because I want to learn space magic from you. Ive never studied space magic before, so it would be best to start from the basics. What? Youve never actually studied space magic before? Antondidas widened his eyes in disbelief, his chest paining. The graduate ne that every space magic practitioner dreams of is in the hands of an absolute novice?! This was a waste, an absolute waste! Antondidas gripped his magic staff so hard it creaked under the strain, as though it was about to shatter. Finally, he scowled and forced the words through gritted teeth, Fine, Ill teach you. However, my condition is that you plead to the princess on my behalf to reduce the duration of my envement. Dont worry, leave it to me! Su Yu responded confidently. Chapter 306: 306, Start Action_1 Chapter 306: Start Action_1 For the following in-game period of 7 days, Su Yu did not return to his territory but stayed in Maple City studying space system spells with Antondidas. The 3rd feature of the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] is [Space Mastery(passive)]: your understanding and learning ability of space is greatly enhanced, the effects of space system spells are increased by 30%. Benefiting from this feature, Su Yus learning efficiency was extremely high! In just these seven days, he learned all of the zero-level and first-level spells from the space system. There are two zero-level spells in the space system, they are [Spatial de] and [Prism Shield]. [Spatial de] is the attack method of zero-level Space Mages. It distorts the surrounding space to form a de to attack the enemy, causing moderate physical damage; [Prism Shield] is, of course, the defense method of the Space Mage. Apart from its basic shield strength, it also has a chance to deflect arrows, magic, and even attacks from swords. There are three first-level spells in the space system, they are [Space Cut](small scale physical AoE), [Spatial Stagnation](crowd speed reduction debuff), and [Enhanced sh Skill(passive)]. [Enhanced sh Skill] is Su Yus favorite passive skill. After learning this spell, he can cast [sh Skill] without having to wait for the 12 seconds cooldown time. Not needing to gather strength, as long as his body can handle it, he can cast [sh Skill] multiple times consecutively! After learning it, Su Yu tested it out. With his current fourth-stage status, he can continuously cast the 15 meters discement [sh Skill] 11 times! He can also cast the 50 meters discement [sh Skill] 3 times without interruption, before his body would reach its limit. After his body reached its limit, he felt a ripping pain. It was as though forcing another [sh Skill] would cause his body to fall apart, it took half a minute to recover. However, this was already perfect, being able to cast dozens of [sh Skills] in a row. This gave him a certain survival advantage when facing stronger opponents than his own level. After having mastered all the first-level skills, Su Yus [upation] in his character panel was finally changed from [Mage] to [Mage(Element/Space)], finally bing slightly different from other yers. Moreover, ording to Su Yus n, he intends to learn the space systems signature skill before going to the Skru Star C third-level spell [Teleportation Portal]. Once he learns the [Teleportation Portal] spell, his mobility in Skru Star will be greatly increased. Besides, this spell is the best bet for escaping for life! After returning from the Skru Star, he can go to Antondidas and learn from him the signature skill C fifth-level spell [Group Teleport]. At that time, in the real world, he can take a whole crowd with him and in one second from the Imperial Capital to the Magic City It has great strategic value just thinking about it! Anyway, Antondidas is a treasure, Su Yu must take advantage of this opportunity to explore! There was no significant event in the game world for these 7 days. The world of the yers remained calm. Some were doing tasks, some were vigorously leveling up in the leveling area, some were going into the mountains to collect herbs, and some were farming, crafting equipment there was peace. In his past life, during this time, yers could hardly curb their aggressive desires, constantly carrying out small andrge fights, guild wars. But in this life, almost none existed; everyone stopped internal expenditures and strove to develop; Morningstar has been kept in the Mage Tower with the young girl, Kathy, by Su Yu, giving her enough cat food(Experience Crystal Stone), urging her to regain her strength as quickly as possible. As for the wars. At 10 oclock in the morning on the 3rd day, Tina led an elite brigade of 8,000 troops mixed with the second and third tiers and recruited 200,000 yers, hastily marching toward thergest kingdom in the west C the Kunke Kingdom. To this day, the Kunke kingdom remains unaware,pletely oblivious to the disaster that has befallen upon it. Apanying Tina were the legendary Royal Chief Wizard Sharon, legendary mercenary Andrew, and more than 50 five and six-tier powerhouses, intending to crush the Kunke Kingdom with overwhelming high-end battle strength. As for Su Yu and other high-ranking powerhouses, they are still on standby. At 10 a.m. on the 8th day, the aristocratic district of Maple City. Dozens of powerful figures rose from all corners of the aristocratic area and converged towards Su Yus courtyard. Arriving above Su Yus courtyard, they exchanged smiles and greetings, then descended toward the courtyard. Su Yu and Antondidas stood together, they were already waiting in the courtyard for quite some time. Seeing the powerhouses arrive, Su Yu smiled and greeted them: Your Excellency Rnd, Your Excellency Cecilia, Your Excellency Joseph, Im d you coulde! This time, there were three seventh-tier powerhouses, Rnd, Tower Master of the Silver Pine, top-tier Dark de Assassin Cecilia Nightde, and legendary druid Vanstowe Crow Language. Cecilia Nightde and Vanstowe Crow Language are both half-elves, descendants of thebined effect of humans and elves. Over the past few decades, they have been serving Duke Anzu Seifer and Duke Landilus respectively, and in the decisive battle of Orleans City, they surrendered to Princess Alyssa. They also joined this operation to try topensate for their previous wrongs. Apart from these three seventh-tier powerhouses, there were also 23 sixth-tier powerhouses present, almost half of the empires sixth-tier powerhouses. They were arranged by the Princess to bemanded by Su Yu toplete this operation. Upon seeing Su Yu, the Tower Master of the Silver Pine, Rnd, smiled and saluted with a mages greeting: Your Excellency Nemesis. Its a pleasure to meet you and were counting on your leadership in this operation! Seeing Rnds respect for him, Su Yu couldnt help but feel wistful. In his previous life, he was just a member of the Silver Pine Tower and was always proud of being part of such a top-notch force. As for Rnd, Su Yu waspletely his subordinate in his previous life, the kind whose existence as a pdog would not even warrant a second look. He never thought that in this life, the change in status would be so dramatic. Youre too kind, Master. Su Yu spoke modestly: Im just a small pawn handling odd jobs here and there. You three legendary figures are the main force of this operation! I clearly understand this point. Seeing Su Yu talk in such a manner, the three looked at Su Yu with new respect, their goodwill towards him shot up instantly. Is everyone ready? Su Yu looked around at the powerful figures in the hall. The powerful Saint Tier and Legendary Tier figures in the hall nodded in unison. Well then, lets prepare to set off! Then Su Yu turned to Antonidas beside him: Antonidas, tomorrow at 10 a.m. you take the adventurers from another world to teleport to Sea Salt Town in Haiyan City, well meet you there. In the game world of Evolution, newly promoted fifth-tier powerhouses have a flight speed of 30 km/h for long distances. The flight speed of sixth-tier Saint Tier characters is 185 km/h. Maple City is 3785 km away from Haiyan City, it would take about 20 hours for Su Yu and his team to fly over. So, if Antonidas teleported over to there at this time tomorrow, both groups could meet up. Understood, Lord Nemesis! Antonidas immediately responded. Chapter 307: 307, Cecilia Nightblade_1 Chapter 307: Cecilia Nightde_1 The ninth day of the night, eight oclock, the capital of Xier Commercial Federation C Haiyan City. The Xier Commercial Federation is essentially a loose federation of states, formed by sixrge business families. These six families formed a council and practiced parliamentary politics, and the Chairman of the Federation was alternately held by the heads of the six families. The current Chairman of the Xier Federation is Dreyk Gelsang, the head of the most powerful family among the six, the Gesang Family, and he is a mid-ranking figure in the five-rank strength tier. On this night, in the banquet hall of the Gesang Familys castle C the Sea Serpent Castle, a sultry ball was being held. Thedies and young girls with exquisitely painted faces and tacky clothes, all drank and twisted their enchanting figures in the dance floor. Sensual and beautiful bunny maids in ck stockings weed the lustful nces of the males around them, delivering all kinds of fine wines into the dance floor, inadvertently being subjected to lecherous touches. Dreyk Gelsang was also mingling in the dance floor, dancing to the rhythm of the music with his dance partner C a seemingly innocent debutante of noble birth. Due to drinking too much wine, Dreyks face was flushed red. Now, aided by the alcohol, he constantly got handsy with his dance partner. The debutante did not reject him at all, and the two of them gradually made their way to the edge of the dance floor. At this point, anyone would know what should happen next. Dreyk pulled the beautiful debutante, ready to discuss life and ideals in his own room. Just as he was about to leave, an elderly butler in a ck suit suddenly appeared in front of him. Master, there is a very important matter that requires you to handle, the butler bowed and said respectfully. Cant you see Im busy now? Dreyk, who was drunk, wanted to walk away from the side while hugging the debutante next to him. He had no intention of dealing with his own steward. However, the old butler moved one step sideways, blocking his masters road, and said seriously, Master, the degree of importance is highest. If you dont attend to it now, tomorrow you will no longer be the head of the family. Dreyk: Five minutester, Dreyk Gelsang, whose urgency had been abruptly halted, sat unhappily in a secluded conference room. Opposite him was his guest C a five-rank assassin shrouded in ck mist. Seeing this guest, his mood got even sourer. Because he knew this guest, a high-ranking strongman from the citys gang, [Travelers of Light], named Zackley, and to some extent, they could be considered old acquaintances. Zackley smelled the alcohol on Dreyk and couldnt help but chuckle, Chairman, if Im not wrong, you must have spent some time with Miss Julia Hayton just now, right? What, youve been spying on me? Dreyks gaze instantly became particrly hostile. The Travelers of Light were getting bolder by the day! They even dared to spy on him? Of course not, how could we ever spy on the respected Chairman? The thief Zackleyughed leisurely: Your body carries the scent of Miss Julia Hayton. We had a wonderful night togetherst night, so Im very familiar with this scent. Dreyk: For some reason, he suddenly felt very nauseous. He was d that the butler called him over, otherwise He didnt want to continue this topic, so he waved his hand, Lets talk about the main issue, Zackley, what brings you to me in the middle of the night? Its about a letter. Zackleys face was covered inyers of ck mist, so no emotion could be read on his face, but his tone gradually became serious, This letteres from the Emperor of Lai Yin Empire C Sean Violet. Oh?! Hearing that it was a letter from him, Dreyk sat up straight in an instant, A letter from the Emperor of Lai Yin? Zackley nodded slightly, with a flick, a pale-violet colored letter appeared directly on his desk. Dreyk didnt directly touch the letter on the table, instead he signaled something from the side of the conference room. A few secondster, a spell floated over from the side of the room and fell onto the letter. A few secondster again, a dull voice came from the side of the room, Master, there are no traps on this letter, and I have removed the magic seal on it on your behalf. Mhm. Dreyk nodded slightly and took the letter out of the envelope and began to read carefully. The general idea of the letter was as follows: The Lai Yin Empire and Wind Chime Empire were preparing tounch a war against the Goldfinch Empire, asking the Xier Federation to pick sides, and promised if they stand by the side of the two empires, they will be given arge number of benefits. Dreyk was not surprised when he read the contents of the letter, instead his heart was set. Finally! The Gesang family had predicted long ago that the Lai Yin Empire would try to win them over, and they had long decided to betray their sovereign nation. A personal letter from the Emperor of Lai Yin, this was sincere enough! You wait here for a while. Dreyk steadied Zackley first, then ordered the servants to bring pen and paper and began to write the reply. In the letter, he stated: as long as the Lai Yin Empire is willing to give up sufficient benefits to satisfy them, to expand bteral trade, the Xier Federation is willing to join the Lai Yin Empire in campaigning against the evil Goldfinch Empire, to turn the evil empire of the east into a fertile soil of democracy and freedom After finishing the reply, he packaged the letter with a beautiful envelope, sealed it with magic, and handed the letter to Zackley, Zackley, this is my reply to the Emperor of Lai Yin, please make sure to deliver the letter Just as he said that, the letter in his hand suddenly floated up and dropped out of his grip. Dreyk hadntpletely reacted yet. Suddenly, a gleam of dagger shed and Zackley, who was shrouded in mysterious ck mist, was cut in two at the waist in a blink of an eye. At the same time, a figure flickered and the fifth-rank mage hidden on the side of the conference room had his throat slit and died instantly and silently. Then, a female half-elf assassin appeared in the empty space in front of him. This half-elf assassin was none other than Cecilia Nightde, a subordinate of Su Yu. She had been sent out by Su Yu to gather intelligencest night, followed Zackley all the way to the Sea Serpent Castle, and didnt expect to catch a big fish! Cecilia flicked the blood off her dagger and waved the letter in her hand, Impressive, Dreyk, are you nning to betray the sovereign state and seek refuge with the enemy? You areCecilia Nightde! Dreyks face turned pale, and there was extreme despair in his eyes. There are just over 20 seventh-rank powers in the human world and Cecilia did not hide her looks, so he recognized her immediately. But because he recognized her, he felt even more desperate! How did Cecilia appear here, was she sent by Princess Alysha? Lady Cecilia, please let me exin Dreyk tried desperately to refute. No exnation is needed, you can exin it to Nemesister! Without any further words, Cecilia picked him up by his cor and hauled him towards the sky through the window. Chapter 308: 308, The Big Clean-up Begins (Additional Update)_1 Chapter 308: The Big Clean-up Begins (Additional Update)_1 The instant Zackley was killed, all of the high-ranking powerhouses in Haiyan City sensed the incident at the Sea Serpent Castle. Shortly, dozens of figures, shing various colors of light, rapidly ascended to the sky, with a substantial amount of spiritual energy probing towards Cecilia, this energy gathered around her body like a material substance. There were a total of 83 high-ranking powerhouses, led by Mosby Gesang, the venerated ancestor of the Gesang family. Mosby was an old seventh level legend, and also the protector of the Hill Federation. He was a Mage by profession, a bit simr in appearance to Antondidas and also sported a long beard that reached his belt, holding a magic staff taller than a man. At this moment, arge amount of ice elements had gathered at the top of his magic staff, ready tounch, as he coldly looked at Cecilia: Cecilia Nightde, why did you invade our territory at night and capture our national leader? Heh, you guys take a look at this! Cecilia took out a Magic Image Stone from her Space Ring, erged the just-confiscated letter through the stone, and projected it onto the clouds below. Seeing that Cecilia was about to publicize the letter, Dreyk immediately began struggling strenuously. So annoying! Cecilia raised her dagger and with a bang, hit Dreyk on the head with the handle of the dagger. Dreyk was instantly knocked unconscious. The high-level powerhouses of Haiyan City unanimously looked at the reflected image of the letter on the cloud below. After confirming that it was Dreyks handwriting and seeing clearly the contents of the letter, these powerhouses fell silent, their momentum greatly diminished. Dreyks actions were undoubtedly a barefaced betrayal to the suzerain state. Now the suzerain statees to settle the ounts, and they have be the wrong party. When Cecilia had killed Zackley just now, she knew she would be exposed. So at that time, she used the special skill of the assassins career [Secret Contact] to send a message to Su Yu. Now, the figures of Su Yu and two seventh-level, 23 sixth-level powerhouses have already appeared on the horizon. Sensing the arrival of so many powerhouses, the expressions of Haiyan Citys powerhouses changed dramatically. So many powerhouses had silently arrived on their turf, and they hadnt noticed it at all! They feared they were in big trouble this time! Mosby Gesang looked gravely at these powerhouses of Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum, and in his heart, huge waves were rolling as he prepared to escape. The enemy had brought three seventh-level powerhouses! How could he possibly win against three with one? But he still steeled himself and asked, Your Excellency Rnd, Your Excellency Cecilia, Your Excellency Vanst, for what reason have the three of youe to our federation? Rnd and the others didnt answer him, but looked behind them instead. In the middle of the main body of the team behind them, a young man was using the [Flight Skill] to follow the team in flight. (Rnd had bestowed the [Flight Skill] upon him.) Noticing the gazes of Rnd and the others, this young man slowly stopped in mid-air and looked solemnly at Mosby Gesang in front of him: Your Excellency Mosby, hello, I am Nemesis, the other-worldly adventurer, and also the emissary of Princess Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum. Youre Nemesis? Mosby Gesang was slightly surprised. He had heard Nemesiss name several times before, knowing that the victory of Orleans City in the imperial battle had depended almost entirely on Su Yu summoning Bernina. He had changed the Golden Chrysanthemum! He hadnt expected to see the real person today. Your Excellency Mosby. Su Yu paid him a Mages salute: Over the past 30 years, your country has sided with the Cartel rebels, not contributing a single spiritual energy coin tribute to the royal family, and Princess Golden Chrysanthemum is very dissatisfied with this. Now Princess Golden Chrysanthemum orders us to recover the losses of the empire, do you think its reasonable? Su Yu finished speaking and waved his hand slightly. A giant transportation magic circle lit up in the middle of thergest square in Haiyan City. Antondidas led ten thousand yers to teleport from the outskirts of Sea Salt Town. When the teleporting light disappeared, Su Yu loudly said to the yers below: Everyone, follow the n and go to the castles and estates of the major families in the city for investigation. Take anything valuable, and call the nearest Sanctuary powerhouses for help if there is any resistance. Got it, Boss Ke. Alright, Prince Ke. Understood, husband of the Marshal. The yers answered in agreement. The 23 Sanctuary powerhouses beside Su Yu immediately dispersed ording to the n and spread out in the air above the entire city area, watching any movement within the city area. Seeing the actions of Su Yu and his group, the high-level powerhouses of Haiyan City instantly understood. This was a robbery! This was an outright robbery! But they had no choice. Rnd and Vanst were now fully primed, and some of the slightly weaker fifth-tier powerhouses in the sky were even suffocated and couldnt breathe. Faced with this level of pressure, what else can they do besides surrender willingly? Meanwhile, Rnd was happy to see the enemy not resist. He watched these people with a smile on his face: Everyone, theres no need to be too panicked. After our people have taken what they want, I will have them leave. Wanted items? Are they our properties? A fifth level warrior of Haiyan City asked aloud. What if I dont want to give up my property Bang! The warrior had only spoken half of what he was saying when he exploded into a cloud of blood in the sky. The other powerhouses of Haiyan City shuddered and quickly swallowed the words they wanted to say. Such a chatterbox. Rnd shook his head disdainfully, looking at Mosby Gesang: Mosby, control your people not to move around, or the consequences will be the same as this person! Mosby Gesang weighed the pros and cons quickly in his heart, finally sighed, and said to the people around him: Everyone, do not act rashly. Money can be earned again, but if a man dies, he loses everything. The other high-ranking powerhouses nodded in agreement, all of them hovering in the air, daring not to move. Cecilia, on the other hand, nced at Dreyk who she was holding in her hand. Then she raised her dagger and with a swift motion, Dreyks head was immediately separated from his body. Cecilia discarded Dreyks two halves disdainfully and looked at Mosby Gesang with a smile: Your Excellency Mosby, your chairman here colluded secretly with the Lai Yin Empire, and the evidence is conclusive. He has been executed by me now, do you have any objections? Mosby Gesang: His heart was filled with raging anger. Since he became a seventh-level powerhouse, he had never been provoked like this! First it was Rnd, then Cecilia But how could he be angry about it? He turned his head away, pretending he hadnt heard. So there they were, the high-ranking powerhouses of Haiyan City trapped in mid-air by Cecilia and herpanions. The yers, ording to the n, were divided into groups of 50, and in an orderly manner, they visited all the castles, mansions, and estates of the nobles, taking away everything of value they saw. And thus, a Great Sweep was set in motion. Chapter 309: 309, Attack Sea Serpent Castle_1 Chapter 309: Attack Sea Serpent Castle_1 Mosby Gesang sighed helplessly after assessing the situation, realizing it was futile to resist. He mobilized his magical power and addressed the citizens: My people, the guests of the Goldfinch Empire havee to ournd. For the benefit of all, I ask everyone to abandon resistance. Do not obstruct the otherworldly adventurers of the Goldfinch Empire. Do not attempt to stop them no matter what they do! His voice, amplified by powerful magic, rapidly spread to every corner of the city. The people of Haiyan City, particrly themon folk, looked up at the powerful beings confronting each other in the sky, trembling with fear. Looking at the frightened civilians below, Su Yu spoke out in time: Dont be afraid, everyone. I am from the Goldfinch Empire, the special envoy C [Nemesis]. Our great princesss core principle of governance is treating civilians kindly, which includes the civilians from your country. This time we will only be confiscating the property of the nobles and leading merchants. We will not involve ordinary civilians. I assure you of this! Su Yus words were authoritative and spread quickly throughout the city with the aid of magic. Hearing Su Yus guarantee, the people inside the city felt somewhat relieved. If they were only targeting nobles and leading merchants they found themselves inexplicably supportive. As Su Yu spoke, the yers divided into several small teams. In ordance with pre-discussed ns, they set off towards their respective targets. Nine gaming days earlier, Su Yu had visited the [National Library] of the Goldfinch City to look up documentation and detailed maps of the Hill Business Union and [Haiyan City]. He handed these maps to a magic craftsman to make 10,000 copies. Every yer received a map and studied it repeatedly before setting off. Thanks to the maps, they didnt feel lost in this new city. And everyone knew their roles well. The stronger teams, such as [Snow Leopard] and [Red-Eyed ck Dragon], led the journey to confiscate the property of top-tier families like the Gesang Family; Whereas the weaker ones bullied minor nobles and businessmen with lesser forces. Each team hadmand and the captains were wellpensated, so everyone was quite motivated. Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon, each leading a group of 50 top-tier yers, rapidly marched towards Sea Serpent Castle. They were now on Lambra Street, the road leading to the affluent residential area of the citys east. There were a few scattered [Haiyan City Guards] on patrol on the street, with levels between 1-3. Seeing the yer group marching like a tidal wave, the guards picked up their weapons. But having heard Mosbys instructions, they did not dare to act rashly, and instead performed a military salute as the yers passed them by. The yers paid no mind to these guards and simply brushed past them. A small problem arose during their march: The citys NPC civilians, reassured by Su Yus promise, were no longer afraid of the yers. So they flocked to Lambra Street, clogging the street ahead. They all looked at the yers as if they were animals in a zoo. Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed ck Dragon were flustered by this turnout, they hadnt expected such a situation would ur. Helpless, they had to part the citizens to continue towards the Sea Serpent Castle. That, of course, significantly slowed down their pace. At this point, a little NPC girl at the roadside pulled at her mothers sleeve and asked innocently: Mommy, whos that uncle who looks like a silly goose? The girls mother quickly covered her daughters mouth. The uncle who looks like a silly goose the little girl was referring to was, of course, Snow Leopard. Originally, when Snow Leopard received the [Advanced Unicorn Badge] as a gift from Su Yu, he instantly used it to im territory. It should have been a good thing. However, due to the Characteristic 5 of the badge, the first impression that NPCs had of him was always foolish. This had troubled him for a long time. Hearing the girls remark, Snow Leopard stopped in his tracks, his face falling. Pfft! A few yers nearby couldnt help butugh out loud, quickly covering their mouths. Red-Eyed ck Dragon struggled to hold back hisughter. He urgently rubbed his face to prevent himself fromughing out loud. Uh Snow Leopard, Boss Ke said that the rewards for this mission are very generous. How generous are we talking? tried Red-Eyed ck Dragon, attempting to change the subject. Im not sure either, but if Nemesis said its very generous, then it must be generous, Snow Leopard stated firmly. Then he looked at the yers behind him: Everyone, dont becent. There are surely many strong opponents at the third and fourth stages in Sea Serpent Castle. Dont engage recklessly, act ording to the situation! Understood! Well be careful. The yers responded in unison. Driving through the crowd, the two teams finally reached the gates of Sea Serpent Castle with much difficulty. However, a securely lockedrge iron gateway blocked their way. Behind the gate, two voices were audible: Do you think by locking the gate, we would be viting Mr. Mosbys instructions to not try to stop them? one voice asked. Of course not! We didnt stop them, the gate did. It aint our problem, the other voice chuckled. It seems that in just over ten minutes, the NPCs in the Castle had alreadye up with a strategy. Snow Leopard didnt seem troubled, though. He waved his hand at the team behind him: Attack the gate! No sooner had the words left his mouth than about a dozen instant spells and arrows were rapidly flung towards the gate. But the defense of the Sea Serpent Castle wasnt for show, either. The gate was inscribed with a top-tier defensive magic circle. The arrows and spells lost their effectiveness two or three meters before hitting the gatelike ripples hitting the water, they couldnt create waves against the gate. Snow Leopard frowned. Then he respectfully asked Hammell, the Sanctuary warrior closest to him in the sky: Lord Hammell, could you help us open this door? No problem! Hammell, the warrior of the Sanctuary, responded gruffly. Hammell dived down in a swift swoop, smashed forcefully into the gate like aet. Boom! A sky-shaking thunderous noise ensued as the nearly 10 meter-wide gate shattered under Hammells strike, stirring up heaps of dust on the ground. Snow Leopard quickly thanked Hammell. As the dust settled, he led the yers into the castle one after another. In the sky, Mosby Gesangs face darkened a notch further; after all, Snow Leopard had just breached his familys stronghold! He wanted to cast a spell to teach Hammell a lesson. But at that moment, the aura of Rnd and his twopanions intensified. With no option left, Mosby turned around to continue acting obedient. PS: I had some writers block today, so there will only be one update. Ill make up for it tomorrow. Chapter 310: 310、Fiery Giant Dragon Egg_1 Chapter 310: 310Fiery Giant Dragon Egg_1 Upon entering the Sea Serpent Castle, the yers were met with hostile nces from the NPCs within the castle. However, the yers didnt care about how these NPCs felt. They split up,ughing and frolicking around the castle, carrying out the orders that Snow Leopard had posted in the chat room, searching each room in the castle. The NPCs in the castle nced at each other, but none of them dared to act out. Upon arriving at the castles main hall, Snow Leopard looked around to get a grasp of the castlesyout, He then turned to the Red-Eyed ck Dragon and said, Bernina, you go to Dreyk Gelsangs study first. Dont forget to search the secretpartments in the four walls. Ill look for the secret treasure chamber in the castle. Bernina the corners of the Red-Eyed ck Dragons mouth twitched at hearing this nickname. This was the first time anyone had ever addressed him that way! But Zhen Hong quickly responded, Alright, Snowy. Im off to the study now. With that, he ran down a side corridor without looking back, leaving Snow Leopard ring at his retreating figure. In the nine days leading up to the mission, Snow Leopard and Zhen Hong spent a good amount of time studying the structure of castles in the game world and figuring out where the nobles liked to hide their treasures. Beyond their space rings, the nobles often stashed their treasures in secretpartments in their studies or underground chambers. The locations of these chambers were usually very covert, and there were many of them. Many of the chamber doors were also fitted with magic locks, traps, and other devices, making the search for Snow Leopard and others a bit challenging. For example, Snow Leopard just found an entrance to a secret chamber located on a wall in a changing room on the first floor. Going by the orientation of the entrance, he deduced that these two chambers could have been those of the family? head, Dreyk Gelsang. However, there were two high-quality magic locks hanging on the door of the chamber. Snow Leopard first had his own men try to unlock it, but after 10 minutes, he realized they couldnt do it. He then went outside to call for Hammell, a warrior from the Sanctuary. Hammell burst through the chamber door with a single use of the skill Barbaric Charge, revealing the hidden treasure below. Snow Leopard expressed his thanks to Hammell while gathering all the treasures from the secret chamber with his men. Zhen Hong also had a substantial haul on his side. They conducted a thorough search of the study, ripping out many valuable things from the bookshelves and secretpartments in the walls. Besides some valuable sculptures and paintings, they also found a number of scrolls, high-grade potions, and small pieces of jewelry. In just a few hours, Snow Leopard managed to crack all 12 secret chambers, while Zhen Hong had searched every room C the studies, living rooms, and bedrooms C of all of the core members of the Gesang family. An abundance of expensive weapons and armors, magic items, monster materials, gems, and herbs were happily stuffed into the yers backpacks. Simr events were taking ce all over the city. From high-ranking nobles castles to regr nobles estates, special ces such as banks, and major business firms were all enthusiastically visited by the yers. Mr. Meng was one of the yers who robbed the bank. He was part of the [Unbreakable Alliance]. Under his leadership, the yers charged into the bank singing the Soviet Unions national anthem and wielding assault rifles. They dumped all of the noble sss assets in the bank into their backpacks without leaving a single spiritual energy coin behind. Its not that there were no instances of fierce resistance from the NPCs during the period when the yers were busy all over the city. In one instance, while searching a minor nobles estate, the yers were ambushed by the minor noble, causing losses of more than a dozen yers. However, the yers could respawn after death, and Su Yu quickly dispatched men to get rid of the minor noble, so the operation was not severely affected. The yers quickly moved on to the next location as soon as they finished clearing one ce. Once their backpacks were filled, they brought their loot to the central square next to Su Yu and dumped it on the ground. yers were busily throwing the spoils of victory from their backpacks. For a moment, weapons, armor, items, potions, gem magic crystals, paintings, and sculptures all sparkling with various spiritual lights were scattered all over the square, and the stash in the center was piled high like a small mountain. The high-ranking members of the Goldfinch floating in the sky looked down at the mountain of treasure below and simultaneously revealed looks of envy. Haiyan City being one of the top five wealthiest cities in the entire continent, these high-ranking nobles really did have a bountiful reserve! The goldfinchs elite forces were looking at these treasures, their faces dark and their hearts bleeding. This was the fruit of their years of umtion, and now it was about to be someone elses property. All they could do was watch helplessly. Soon after, Snow Leopard arrived. Without saying a word, he took a Fiery Giant Dragon Egg out of his backpack and ced it on the ground in front of him. This was the most valuable item he had found in the secret chamber. Upon seeing the dragon egg, which looked as if it was covered inva, the sky was filled with exmations of shock: My goodness! Its a Red Dragon Egg! Mosby, your Gesang Family is impressive! You have a Red Dragon Egg! Isnt this Red Dragon Egg also worth tens of millions! Someone from the Gesang familye and exin, arent you afraid of the Dragon Raceing after you? Mosby Gelsang turned ash-gray. This Red Dragon Egg was something he had gotten hold of with great difficulty from the neighboring Wind Chime continent. He had nned to give it to a direct descendant of his family to hatch, and he hadnt expected it to be uncovered by the adventurers from the other world! Su Yu also noticed this Fire Dragon Egg. His eyes lit up, and he immediately used the sh Skill three times in a row to teleport next to Snow Leopard, and picked up the Red Dragon Egg off the ground. Snow Leopard, youve got quite a find here! Good work! At the same time, he noticed that the high-ranking yers in the sky were gravitating towards the egg. He quickly stuffed the egg into his backpack and spoke to the high-ranking yers in the sky. You can all leave now. When this is over, Ill give this egg to the Princess, and let her decide what to do with it. The high-ranking yers also realized that it would be inappropriate for them to flock and consequently dispersed. As Su Yu put away the dragon egg, Snow Leopard received a game prompt: Ding! Mission item [Fiery Giant Dragon Egg] has been received, rewarding you with 14.53 million Contribution Value points! Snow Leopard turned towards Su Yu and asked, Nemesis, what exactly is this Contribution Value supposed to do? Su Yu had also received a game prompt, including an exnation about Contribution Value. After understanding it, he exined to Snow Leopard, Contribution Value is a conversion of the total value of the items you have confiscated into spiritual energy coins. After the mission is over, you can exchange Contribution Value for spiritual energy at a ratio of 1000:1. 1000:1? So this dragon egg can be exchanged for over ten thousand spiritual energy coins? Snow Leopard marvelled. At their current level, they would normally earn just a few spiritual energy coins for a task, maybe a dozen or so for a better task. If they were lucky enough to encounter an epic quest, they might earn a few hundred spiritual energy coins. This time, just a single dragon egg is worth tens of thousands of spiritual energy coins! No wonder Nemesis said that the reward for this quest was good- it really was! Chapter 311: 311, ‘Win-Win Cooperation’_1 Chapter 311: Win-Win Cooperation_1 Moreover, Snow Leopard didnt intend to hide it, he directly announced to all yers through the chatroom the way to obtain [Contribution Value] and its function. Upon finding out that one-thousandth of the [Contribution Value] could be exchanged for a spiritual energy coin, yers were frantically searching their mission areas like theyd been injected with adrenaline, their eyes wide open in fear of missing any high-value items. After all, the treasures in the houses of the nobility were worth at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual energy coins, getting just one would be enough to divide among them dozens or hundreds of spiritual energy coins! The homes of all the nobles were instantly thrown into chaos by the yers. After their backpacks were full, the yers took their spoils of war to the central square and handed them over to Yu. Su Yu opened the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] and put all the spoils into it. The [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain], as a broken interfacial, had an inconceivablyrge capacity and was not worried about not being able to fit anything. Line after line of game prompts screened in his game log: Ding, sessfully received [Emerald Beads Hat (Craftsman)], task progress +32,000. Ding, sessfully received [ughterer Cast Iron Short Boots (Epic)], task progress +7,500. Ding, sessfully received [Top-grade Turquoise], mission progress +210,000. As items were collected into the ne, Su Yus mission progress rapidly rose! The highest several contributions still came from the six major families, the Goblin bank, and the major business associations. Su Yu roughly estimated that each of them had contributed over a billion in mission progress to him! After the yers had pretty much ransacked everything, Su Yus mission progress halted at 21.13 billion spiritual energy coins. Just this trip to Haiyan City alone hadpleted more than half of his mission! This was mainly due to Su Yus wise decision. Had Su Yu not chosen to storm straight into Haiyan City, but instead epted Deputy Marshal Lucass suggestion to press in from east to west through the kingdoms of Kunke and Lu Man, the nobles of Haiyan City would have already shipped their wealth to other continents using ships! In that case, Su Yus spoils would probably not even be a fifth of what he received this time. Su Yu also secretly rejoiced in his heart about his wise decision. The entire ransacking processsted two hours, equivalent to a day and a night in game time. After a day and a night of ransacking, the fat of the nobles of Haiyan City was basically drained. Su Yu looked up, the resentment from the high-ranking experts of Haiyan City floating in the sky was almost tangible. Their umtion of many years was taken away by Su Yu without any reason, if not for the gap between them being too big, they might have wanted to fight Su Yu to the death to get their things back! Su Yu, using the [Flight Skill] bestowed on him by Rnd, leisurely flew into the sky and examined the experts of Haiyan City. Then he leisurely said, Now that things havee to this point, I guess you are all not feeling too good, right? Seeing Su Yus triumphant look, the hatred level of Haiyan Citys high-ranking experts immediately maxed out. Many already had their hands on their weapons, on the verge of making a move. Everyone, calm down! Su Yu gestured with his hand, I have a suggestion that canpletely make up for your losses, and even help you make a fortune. Would you be interested? The high-ranking experts of Haiyan City looked at each other, all at a loss. Nemesis What was he nning on doing next? Mosby Gesang remained calm. He waved his wand, and arge [Soundproof Barrier] appeared in the air, enclosing everyone within: Speak, Nemesis, Your Excellency, what suggestion do you have? Su Yu pointed to the east, smiled and said, Haiyan City is just the first stop of our action, apart from here, the kingdoms of Lu Man, Kunke and all other duchies and kingdoms will be treated equally, without any discrimination! Then he pointed at the yers who were still diligently hauling things below, But we are short of hands, with only a mere 10,000 people, which is not enough to cover all the towns, so I need your help. Need our help? The high-ranking experts of Haiyan City momentarily thought they had heard wrong. Big Bro! You came to rob us, and youre even asking for our help? Thats right! Su Yu nodded, You send troops to assist us in dealing with other duchies, kingdoms, we will split the spoils of war seventy-thirty, hows that? We get seventy, you get thirty. The main reason Su Yu proposed these terms, like he mentioned, was that there werent enough people on their side. With only 10,000 yers, it was almost impossible to cover the hundreds of city-states in ten kingdoms. Secondly, over 70% of the boats in Western Continent (referring to the countries west of Gold Sparrow) were in the hills of the Federation. As long as the Federation of the Hills epts Su Yus terms, the wealth of other kingdoms and duchies would be unlikely to flow to other continents, resulting in higher profits for Su Yu! Hearing Su Yus suggestion, many of the high-ranking experts in Haiyan City were tempted! There were so many kingdoms, duchies in the Western Continent, and tens of thousands of cities, big and small. If they really cooperated with Su Yu and got 30% of the profits, their current losses would be insignificant! They could indeed make a huge profit! But some high-ranking experts were full of worry, like Mosby Gesang. He stroked his beard, shook his head saying, Nemesis, Your Excellency, if we do this, how will the other surrounding countries view us? We the Hills would definitely face hostility from neighbouring countries, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits. What are they afraid of? Su Yu waved his hand dismissively, Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a country? Mosby Gesang: .. Su Yu responded solemnly: Its national strength! If you guys agree to my terms to get 30% of the resources, you can utilize these resources to cultivate a lot of experts to enhance national power. The countries around you would suffer a great loss from our united raid, can you still be afraid of them as you surpass them? What does hostility mean in the face of absolute power? If your country can have one more seventh-order legend or several sixth-order sanctuaries, you guys will be the first kingdom in the Western Continent, who would dare to oppose you? An expert from behind Mosby Gesang also stepped forward excitedly saying, Thats right, Lord Gesang, this could be our chance to be the first kingdom in the Western Continent! I think its worth a try! Mosby Gesang still didnt say a word, but by the looks of his expression, it seemed he had begun to waver. Su Yu thenughed, If you guys dont want this opportunity, I dont mind. The marshal of our Empire C [Tina Garcia] has already led her elite troops to raid the Kingdom of Kunke. I can give them this opportunity. I believe that King Charles wont miss this chance. Fine, I ept your terms, Mosby Gesang finally chose to ept Su Yu. Su Yu was right, national strength is paramount. As long as they can be stronger through this opportunity, widen the gap in national power with neighbouring countries, not only will the neighbouring countries not retaliate, they might even be theirckeys! Chapter 312: 312, Crushing Victory! 213.2 billion spiritual energy coins!_1 Chapter 312: Crushing Victory! 213.2 billion spiritual energy coins!_1 Since the most powerful Gesang Family had agreed to cooperate, the other five major families no longer had the grounds to refuse. After a friendly negotiation, both parties went to Sea Serpent Castle to officially sign the cooperation agreement in the main hall of the castle. As for the Federal Chairman, whom Cecilia had just executed, both parties did not even mention it as if he had never existed. During the signing of the agreement, Su Yu added a prohibition against taxation and confiscation of property from civilians use into the agreement. The nobles in Haiyan City didnt understand why Su Yu added this use. However, with an attitude of cooperation, they agreed to the use without much consideration. Finally, Mosby Gesang, representing the Hills Federation, and Su Yu, representing the Goldfinch Empire, solemnly signed their names on the cooperation agreement. After the signing of the agreement, the affairs of Haiyan City came to a temporary end. Su Yu ced the agreement in his backpack and joyfully left Sea Serpent Castle. The Snow Leopard had been waiting for a long time in front of the castle. Seeing Su Yuing out of the castle with a pleased expression, Snow Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, Nemesis, has the agreement been reached? Of course! Su Yu took out the agreement and waved it, With this agreement, our movements in this area will be unhindered. Everyone is waiting to receive a generous reward! Thats good. Snow Leopard smiled happily, I will announce this news in the chat roomter. Hmm. Su Yu scratched his chin, However, theres one thing I must remind you to avoid bigger problems in the future. Oh? Snow Leopard looked at Su Yu. Its about the fair distribution of Contribution Value. Su Yu exined, For example, if you receive several million Contribution Value by merely handing in a Fire Dragon Egg, yers assigned to minor noble estates might have to ve away to earn a few hundred thousand Contribution Value. Once or twice might be fine, but if this pattern continues, the yers will inevitably feel unfair. Our current most important mission is to unite everyone to win the Blue Star defensive battle. Such unfair issues can easily cause fractures among yers and impact overall unity. I understand. Snow Leopard gave Su Yu a high look; he hadnt expected Su Yu to think so far ahead! However, he also ensured, Today, I wille up with a fair distribution n to provide subsidies for yers with fewer Contribution Points. Good, go ahead! Like a great leader, Su Yu pat Snow Leopards shoulder encouragingly. Snow Leopard was very efficient. An hourter, a rtively fair Redistribution n for Contribution Points was produced. The core content of the n was for yers with high Contribution Value to give a substantial part of their Contribution Value as subsidies to yers with low Contribution Value. However, the distribution wasnt evenly divided among everyone; instead, it adhered to the principle of More work, more gain. Less work, less gain. yers who made significant contributions should be rewarded, whilezy ones should be penalized. Excluding the rewards and penalties, the Contribution Value held by the yers with the highest Contribution Value could not exceed twice that held by yers with the lowest Contribution Value. The rewards and penalties would be made public continuously in the chat room, and there would be no underhanded maniptions. So Snow Leopard concluded. Once the redistribution n was announced in all big chat rooms, it immediately received unanimous praise from the yers! In particr, the yer group assigned to the mini-noble estates was overjoyed: This n came at such a critical time! Praise Boss Ke! Indeed, my teammates and I felt the distribution was unfair. The capture from minor noble estates is several times worse than from major ones! Yes, we also felt it was unfair, but for unity, we didnt dare to speak. With this n in ce, people can still be enthusiastic even if theyre assigned to less desirable positions! Enough said, Boss Ke is awesome! Snow Leopard is awesome! I cant wait to go to the next city! Nobles of the Western Continent, your yer grandpa ising! Having resolved the issue of allocation, the yers grew even more united. Their enthusiasm was fully mobilized and theirbat power surged. For the next month, the yers left from the westernmost Haiyan City and headed east. Under the guidance of high-ranking powerhouses, they raided all the towns along the way. The nobles of the Western Continent could only watch tearfully as their properties were being raided by the yers, who left after looting everything. Soon after, the regr army of 200,000 from the Hills Federation also joined in on the raid. To prevent these NPC troops from embezzling the loot, Su Yu took proactive measures, assigning a yer as a supervisor to every 100 NPC soldiers. The loot from the NPC soldiers was handed over to the yers, who then handed it over to Su Yu. Su Yu then gave 30% of the haul to the Hills Federation. Under the careful supervision of the yers, the Hills Federation army was not able to take much for themselves. Moreover, after the army of 300,000 joined, Su Yus mission progress surged dramatically. When he left Haiyan City, his mission progress stood at 211.3 billion spiritual energy coins. After sweeping through the entire Hills Federation, the task progress reached 585.7 billion. After clearing more than twenty small royal city-states, the task progress even surpassed 1000 billion! It was three times the amount required by the Princesss task. The yers were particrly excited. 1000 billion! On average, each person could receive 10,000 spiritual energy coins. This was an enormous sum of money for yers at this stage! Everyone was highly enthused. When the news was spread to the official forum, everyone was filled with a mixture of envy and resentment. While Su Yu was on a Great Kill All Sides spree in the west, Tina was not idle in the east. Just as Su Yu raided Haiyan City, Tina led 8,000 elite troops and 200,000 yers into the Kunke Kingdom, sweeping across the country and aiming directly at the Kunke royal capital. Kunke, Lu Man, and a few other kingdoms noticed the rapid changes in the situation. They sent envoys to neighboring city-states, with several major kingdoms leading the way, trying to jointly resist Goldfinchs sudden attack through unions. But at this juncture, the Hills Federation yed its role. They had been won over by Su Yu after all, and they obstructed these countries union through various means, such as infiltrating spies and rallying groups. In addition to the short time,rge number of countries, and conflicting interests, their union had not been formed when Su Yu and Tina sandwiched and defeated them one by one. The whole sweep of the Western Continentsted two and a half months, equivalent to six days in the real world. When Su Yu and Tina had thoroughly swept the entire Western Continent and finally converged in Lu Mans royal capital, Su Yus mission progress had reached as high as 2132 billion spiritual energy coins! This was seven times the target set by the Princess! Without any exaggeration, this sweeping operation achieved a tremendous victory! Chapter 313: 313, Special Bond_1 Chapter 313: Special Bond_1 Standing shoulder to shoulder in the sky above Thornflower City, the capital of Lu Man kingdom, Su Yu and Tina looked straight at the King of Lu Man, Jesse III. Jesse III faced the strong figures of the Goldfinch Empire and the Federal Hills, feeling the terrifying aura from legends such as Rnd and Cecilia, he couldnt help but gulp. Finally, he sighed, lowered his proud head, and raised his hands in a military salute. Your Excellency Nemesis, Ms. Tina Garcia, I surrender, I am willing to sign the agreement with you. Hearing the words of the King of Lu Man, the long-awaited yers started to stride towards the royal pce of Lu Man. The NPC soldiers of the Lu Man Royal Pce dared not stop them, lowering their heads to clear the way for the yers. Tina nced at the submissive King of Lu Man and smiled, This is your punishment for surrendering to Catter! Remember, you must always stand with the Goldfinch Royal Family in the future, otherwise, next time we wont just confiscate your property, your royal family will also be history! Do you understand? Understood, understood. The King of Lu Man nodded repeatedly, without the pride he had when he first met Tina. Id like to add something. Su Yu suddenly spoke up. Moreover, he used his magic to cover his voice throughout the entire Lu Man capital: One important part of our agreement is that civilian taxes cannot be increased in the next ten years, and civilian properties must not be plundered. You must always remember this clearly! Why? The King of Lu Man was very unhappy: Taxing my people is my freedom, interfering with our national tax rates is interference in our domestic affairs! ording to the previous Eleven Country Convention Su Yu interrupted him: We are doing this to give you a hard time and to help you learn a lesson! You cant shift your losses onto the civilians through taxes. Su Yu then said loudly to all the civilians in the city: Remember! If the tax officials of the kingdom forcibly increase taxes, you can pass the message to the Princess through Goldfinch City. If the situation is true, we will return like lightning to help you deal with these viins! Hearing Su Yus words, several yers began to sing You Will Return Like Lightning, as if striving to embolden Su Yu. The civilians inside the city dared not respond to Su Yu, but they all wore smiles on their faces, and their eyes were filled with gratitude when they looked at Su Yu. Su Yu has a very high reputation among civilians on the western continent during this time. All civilians in the western continent knew that Su Yu only confiscated the property of the nobles and never looted civilians. Moreover, every time Su Yu arrived in a ce, he would emphasize to the local royals and nobles that they should not arbitrarily tax the civilians, so the civilians of the western continent universally respected him. Of course, they couldnt say it out loud, and they didnt dare to show it in their actions, but their deep admiration is evident from their expressions. Knowing that things couldnt be changed, the King of Lu Man sighed again and epted the reality. The Kingdom of Lu Man was the final stop on Su Yus and Tinas western journey. After the yers ransacked the Lu Man Royal Pce, they could return to report to the princess. After signing the agreement with the King of Lu Man and leaving the pce, Tina couldnt help but stretch, saying to Su Yu beside her, Its finally over! Nemesis, can we go home now? Almost. Su Yu nodded: Once we clean out this pce, we can return to Goldfinch City through Antondidas teleportation array. Time flies by so fast, three months have passed before I knew it. Tina sighed. Then her eyes lit up, she turned to look at Su Yu, Nemesis, while we have some leisure time, why dont we go for a walk on the outskirts of the city! I saw a ce with especially beautiful scenery on our way over! Well Su Yu hesitated. He still had to receive the spoils of war seized by the yers, so it was best not to leave. But then Tina grabbed his sleeve, Lets go! If we miss this chance, we wont have another opportunityter! Without saying a word, Tina took Su Yu and flew towards the west side of the city. Su Yu, as a mage, did not resist the fragile frame of Tinas drag (and he didnt want to resist), and was taken out of the Lu Man Royal Capital. Thirty kilometers southwest of the Kingdom of Lu Man, there is a waterfall about 20 meters high. The water from the waterfall fell down the steep rock wall, smashing into thergeke below, sshing out thousands of silver flowers, it looks exceptionally beautiful! Tinayfortably on the grass beside the waterfall, chewing on a straw. Su Yuy next to Tina, rxed and looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him. Both were silent, enjoying the leisure time after the busy period. After a long while. Just as Su Yu was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, Tina suddenly turned to look at him, Nemesis, how much worth of spiritual energy coins have you received so far? Su Yu looked at the numbers in the mission log, and replied, It is 217 billion now, and after adding the numbers from the Lu Man Royal Pce, the overall number should be able to reach about 230 billion! 230 billion, thats not small! Tina nodded happily: Plus the approximately 100 billion in spoils that Ive won, this wealth is enough to resolve our domestic fiscal deficit, and we even have leftovers! The princess will be very happy when she knows, wont she? That is certain! Su Yu smiled, and following Tinas example, he also picked up a straw and chewed it in his mouth. After a while, Su Yu turned to look at Tina, Tina, I have something to ask you. Tina: Go ahead. Su Yu: I wanted to ask, why are you so loyal to the royal family? Amass an army to seize power and rule as king? A thoughtful look crossed Tinas face, as if she was somewhat tempted. Su Yu: Just kidding. Tina sat up and patted Su Yu on the shoulder, The reason Ive never had any ulterior motives is because there is a special bond between our family and the Goldfinch family. A special bond? What bond? Su Yu asked curiously. Tina shook her head and put her index finger to Su Yus lips, I cant tell you, but I can say this C if Alyssa wasnt a princess but a prince, I might have had to marry her and couldnt be with you. Ah, ok Su Yu imagined what Alyssa would look like as a boy, and his facial expression turned into the old man, subway, mobile phone meme facial expression. Thank god Alyssa isnt a boy, otherwise raising the favorability of a boy to full that would be a big problem! Chapter 314: 314, Legendary quality talent [Tina Garcia]_1 Chapter 314: Legendary quality talent [Tina Garcia]_1 By the way, Tina, once the matters of the Western Continent conclude, and the princess sessfully ascends the throne, what are your ns? Su Yu changes the subject. ording to Su Yus memories from his past life, Tina in the previous life, after helping the Princess win the war, had returned to the beginner vige and had continued to run her own [Morning Song Grocery Store], asionally issuing some tasks to yers and caring for her aging father in the meantime. But the direction of the story in this world had already swerved dramatically, and Su Yu wasnt really sure what type of life Tina wanted to lead. Well Tina rubbed her chin with her right index finger, If it were some time ago, I would have definitely returned to Nn Vige to live in seclusion and take care of my father, but now. Tina looked at the man in front of her. What are your ns now? Su Yu, feeling a bit ufortable under Tinas gaze, scratched his nose: Do you want to continue being the empires marshal, or do you want to acquire a huge territory and be a lord or something? None of those, Tina winked at Su Yu, Honestly, Im not interested in power or money. Being a marshal or lord is too tiring, theres no joy in it. Tina turned her head to look at the waterfall in the distance, her eyes full of longing: In the days toe, I want to travel the world with my father and sister, admiring the beautiful scenery of various ces. When I get tired of wandering Tina reached out her hand to Su Yu: Would you let me settle in your territory? Ding! The legendary quality talent [Tina Garcia] wants to join your territory, do you ept? Su Yu ignored the game prompt, stood up and took Tinas hand: Tina, I would be very happy to have you settle in my territory, and I wee your father and your sister as well. As long as Im alive, there will always be a ce for you in Aphi city! Okay. Tinas face flushed slightly and she stepped closer and gave Su Yu a gentle hug. Then she took something that looked like a badge from her Space Ring and put it into his hand. What is this? Su Yu looked at the object Tina had given him. I had Master Sharon make this, Tina said softly as she fluttered her hair: If I really do travel the world in the future, I will definitely be far away from you. And your world is still under the threat of invasion from different dimensions, there may be situations where you need me. If that dayes, remember to contact me with this badge, I will rush back immediately. Ding, you have received [Tina Garcia]s gift [Interfacial Communication Badge] X1. [Interfacial Communication Badge] Special item Method of use: input magic into the badge. Number of uses: N/A Use effect: [Tina Garcia] will receive the message you send through the magic input and will also receive your current location coordinates. Note: Sharon Global Communication, reliable and easy to use! (This is not a product cement) Looking at this badge that Tina had specificallymissioned for him, Su Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart. Even in these past three months without seeing each other, Tina was still caring for him. Tina, thank You dont need to thank me. Tina smiled and put her finger on Su Yus lips: If you really want to thank me, then make sure you win the invasion from the different dimension! Promise me, dont die on the battlefield. Dont worry, Ill take care of myself, Su Yu sped Tinas hand, promising seriously. Okay. Tina nestled into Su Yus arms, holding him around his waist, and didnt let go for a long time. It felt as if time had stopped at this moment, except that the waterfall was still gushing merrily. This moment of tranquility didntst long. Not long after, Su Yu received a private message from Snow Leopard: Its been half an hour, arent you supposed toe back yet? Su Yu: Snow Leopard: Im not rushing you [puppy eyes], but most yers bags are already full, if you donte back now, the work here will be stalled. Su Yu: [Sigh] Alright, Ille back now. Closing the private chat window, Su Yu looked down at Tina in his arms and said, Tina, lets head back now, theres still a long road ahead. Okay. Tina nodded. The two of them, hand-in-hand, headed towards Lu Mans Royal Capital. After a significant amount of practice during this period, the yers have be quite proficient in the looting operation. For instance, Snow Leopard, initially, whenever he encountered a magic lock, he would call for the Sanctuary experts to forcibly dismantle it, but now he has umted enough experience to unlock them on his own. A perfectly good Druid profession had been twisted into something that felt more akin to that of a thief. The yers were very efficient at looting, and, within only two hours, the yers had finished a round of looting the Lu Man Pce. Nothing of any value was left. Su Yu stood in the center of the pce, receiving the spoils of war. When the yers were almost done looting, the progress on the task bar reached 231.2 billion spiritual energy coins! It even tempted him to run away with the money! However, it was time to return to the princess now that they hadpleted this part of the mission. Antondidas, have your magical powers been replenished? Su Yu turned to Antondidas, who had been by his side all along. Almost there. Antondidas nodded. We can depart to Goldfinch City at any time, but But what? But I cant take as many people as you requested. Antondidas looked troubled: I can bring 10,000 adventurers from other worlds back to Goldfinch City, and I can also bring you and Tina back. But if I were to bring everyone, it would exceed my capabilities. After saying this, he looked enviously at the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] around Su Yus neck, greedily saying: If you could lend me this ne for a day, perhaps I could improve my abilities enough to bring everyone back. No chance! Su Yu unhesitatingly refused him, and removed the chain from his neck and put it in his bag. If Antondidas, whose current power was at the peak of level 6, had a breakthrough in his abilities and reached level 7, and if he became immune to the princesss [Soul very Contract] and ran away with his chain, then Emperor Lai Yin would get two hundred billion in spoils of war and a level 7 powerhouse. He would beughing even in his sleep! Although the probability of this happening was very low, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, Su Yu would not take the risk. If you bring me and Tina, how many other realm adventurers can you bring at most? SuYu asked. At most 8000! Antondidas replied quickly. 8000 then Su Yu scratched his chin. This was a bit troublesome. No matter which yers were removed or voluntarily dropped out, they would definitely feel very ufortable. However, Su Yu quickly came up with another solution: Since he could not bring everyone, then everyone simply wouldnt be brought, so it would be fair! Su Yu opened the chat room for the guild leader and sent the following message: I have decided to settle the rewards for this mission in advance. yers whoplete the mission can collect the spiritual energy coins rewards ording to their points. After collecting the rewards, you can choose to return to your country on your own or stay to continue exploring the Western Continent. By the way, the Western Continent map has only recently been unlocked, and many high-reward hidden missions have not yet been discovered. Dont miss the opportunities! Chapter 315: 315, Return to Goldfinch City_1 Chapter 315: Return to Goldfinch City_1 This time, the main storyline has a bonus for the yers, that is, the entire West Continent area is now fully open to the yers! The yers can explore the West Continent, engage in business, experience new instances, discover hidden quests Even though its only three days until September 1st, the day when the second major expansion will be released, its always good to y the content of the West Continent earlier. However, the yers generally havent noticed this advantage yet. As Su Yus words spread across severalrge chat rooms, these chat rooms immediately blew up: Nuclear Wastewater from Japan: My gosh! The West Continent is now fully open to us? I didnt expect we could y new content before the new expansion is released! Great Jeffrey: What I care most about is the first clearance of the instances! Can any of the big yers tell me how many instances there are in the West Continent and what level we need to enter them? Sword God of Shili Slope: ording to my research on these smaller countries before the mission began, each Duchy or Federation probably has 3-5 instances, and each Kingdom has 30-50 instances. However, we are generally only level 27 or 28, so I guess we can only enter about one or two hundred instances! Pai Mengbao: What are we waiting for? Lets go and grab the first clearance! We United: 29-level de Dancer TowerOops, I mean 29-level Assassin looking for a group, I can Stealth and Pick Lock! Han Li Han Paopao: My fellow Taoists, wait a moment! Shouldnt we get our reward from Boss Ke before rushing for the first clearance? Its 20,000 spiritual energy coins per person! Sweeping Monk of the Shaolin Sect: Oh yes! Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist. Su Yu was standing in the center of the Royal Pce of Lu Man. Upon receiving the news, yers from all directions flocked to him excitedly. Boss Ke, wevee to hand in the mission! Boss Ke, you can start doling out the money now! Boss Ke, give the money quickly! I cant wait to seize the first clearance of the instance! The yers were shouting loudly. Alright, alright, everyonee one by one, dont push each other. Su Yu smiled. He opened the mission agency panel, and a huge golden question mark appeared above his head. The yers approached quickly and submitted their missions. Su Yus game log also started to scroll quickly: Ding, the yer Aixinjueluo Tielitianpletes the mission, you get a 1%mission, a total of 238 spiritual energy coins, and 345 experience points. Ding, the yer Manjusri Bodhisattva of the Vaticanpletes the mission, you get a 1%mission, a total of 241 spiritual energy coins, and 345 experience points. Ding, the yer Skin is Good After Bathing For each yers reward, Su Yu could get a 1%mission. As the yers handed in one mission after another, his inventory was filled with over 2 million more spiritual energy coins and over 3 million Kibble. The Kibble was very useful for Su Yu, as it could be used to quickly restore Morningstars power. The 2 million-plus spiritual energy coins didnt mean much to him, so he didnt take them to heart. Afterpleting the missions, brilliant golden light shone on many of the yers present, a sign of leveling up. There were very few yers who didnt level up, like Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, etc. Their levels had already reached 29, so of course they wouldnt level up. However, they all took out the transparent Experience Crystal Stone from their backpacks and curiously examined this new acquisition. In addition to leveling up, the first thing the yers did was open their backpacks to check their number of spiritual energy coins. Upon seeing the Spiritual Energy Coins column go from three digits to five, many yers let out a satisfied moan: I feel so awesome now! Im finally rich! Now that Im rich, I can go to the auction house to buy all the skills, and use the rest of the money to buy a few purple equipment for fun. Buy now if you want to buy anything! If you wait a bit longer, the low-priced ones will be snatched away by others! Youre right, lets go now! Some yers excitedly dashed straight to the auction house, some formed teams topete for the first clearance, and some went to find hidden quests. The entire pce was alive with bustling activity. Seeing the yers so happy, Su Yu was also very relieved. This was also a trivial small task he did to strengthen the power of humanity! After all the yers had finished handing in their missions, Su Yu and Tina returned to Goldfinch City via Antondidas teleportation circle. Goldfinch City was also a lively scene. The princess had a high reputation among the people, and the civilians of Goldfinch City were all very supportive of her. Riding Dima down the street, Su Yu saw people on both sides of the road with smiles on their faces, and the streets were strewn with petals, as though he was walking on a carpet made of flowers. Su Yu and Tina arrived at their destinationGoldfinch Royal Pce. Upon learning of Su Yu and Tinas arrival, Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess ran up to the entrance of the Royal Pce. Seeing the two of them from afar, Keledron quickly saluted respectfully: Lord Nemesis, Lady Tina, Im so d youre finally back! The princess will be so happy to know youre back! Long time no see, Keledron. Su Yu greeted him with a smile and casually handed him a sapphire worth several thousand spiritual energy coins as a gift. Keledron, in a good mood, respectfully led the two of them into the pce. Goldfinch Royal Pce wasnt quite the same as it was when Su Yust visited. The rebels had upied it after the princess evacuated. Although they didnt extensively destroy the buildings here, you could still see many broken walls and traces of burning as you walked in. In the main hall at the center of the pce, Su Yu and Tina met Alyssa. Alyssa, sitting high up on the throne, was discussing politics with the ministers below, some sitting, some standing. Seeing Su Yu and Tina arrive, she stopped the discussion, then stood up excitedly: Nemesis, Tina, youre finally back! The moment she saw Su Yu, Alyssa had an urge to throw herself into his arms, regardless of everything else. But in front of her ministers and Tina, she suppressed this impulse. She would wait until they were alone. Your Highness, we are back! Su Yu and Tina answered simultaneously. Su Yu gave the princess a mages bow. Tina was not sworn to the princess, so she didnt need to kneel. She just bowed in the manner of a knight. The ministers in the hall also greeted Su Yu and Tina one after another: Marshal Garcia, Lord Nemesis, long time no see! Didnt expect you toe back today! At this time, a minister in his fifties with some white hair at his temples ran to Su Yu and Tina. As he ran, he asked excitedly: Lord Nemesis, Marshal Garcia, may I ask how the spoils from this time are? Can it offset the debts of the Empire? Su Yu recognized the man, his name was Brian Monck, he was the Empires finance minister. What? Hasnt the princess told you about the amount of our spoils this time? Su Yu asked curiously. During these days when the army was marching outside, Su Yu reported every action he took through magicmunication to Alyssa, including of course the amount of the spoils. He just didnt expect the princess not to tell her ministers. She hasnt. Brian said with a bitter face: Her Highness always says, The final number is not yet determined, its not convenient to disclose. Lord Nemesis, didnt your operation mess up, did it? Brian was very worried. Chapter 316: 316, Ten Billion Rewards! (Additional Updates)_1 Chapter 316: Ten Billion Rewards! (Additional Updates)_1 Hearing the concerns of the Minister of Finance, Lai Yin, Su Yu, Alyssa, and Tina couldnt help but smile. Tina whispered, Lord Lai Yin, actually At that moment, Su Yu tugged at Tinas sleeve, hinting her to stop. Once Tina understood and closed her mouth, Su Yu let out a sigh, feigning guilt: Youre right, Lai Yin. I feel this operation was mishandled and the value of the spoils is far from what we estimated. Seeing Su Yus expression, Lord Lai Yin took a deep breath, Say it, what was the total you seized this time? Not only Lai Yin, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Su Yu. Alyssa knew Su Yu was toying with them, she didnt bother to expose him. Instead, she took her seat on the throne, observing her ministers with interest. s! Su Yu sighed again, dropped his head, and waved three fingers in front of everyone, Around this much. 3 billion? Lai Yin knitted his brows. The goal set by the princess for Nemesis was 30 billion, since Nemesis hadnt met the target, stretching out 3 fingers probably meant 3 billion. Your Excellency Nemesis, youve really messed up this time. 3 billion is really too less Lai Yin was genuinely distressed. Wait, I never said it was 3 billion, Su Yu interrupted him. It cant be 300 million, can it?! After speaking this sentence, Lai Yins blood pressure shot up. 300 million wouldnt even cover the military expenditures! And at this critical moment when the two great empires, Lai and Wind Chime, were about to knock on their door, they had offended the small nations around them without gaining any benefits, would the current resurgence of Goldfinch be interrupted because of this? The ministers also looked at Su Yu with disappointment. They used to think that Nemesis was verypetent, his prophetic abilities were extraordinary, so they supported the decision for the princess to marry this unknown adventurer from another world. Who would have thought that Nemesis would make such a mess, could his prophetic abilities have failed? Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Su Yu decided not to tease them any more. So, Su Yu smiled and said, Actually, its not 3 billion, nor 300 million Is it 30 million?! Lai Yin clutched his chest, he suddenly felt an ufortable sensation there. Of course, its not 30 million, Su Yu reluctantly said, Its 300 billion! To be precise, its 336.7 billion, 11 times the projected target! Following Su Yus words, the entire hall fell silent. All the ministers were dumbfounded looking at Su Yu, several ministers documents fell to the ground and were not picked up for a long time. The hall was filled with an eerie silence, you could almost hear the sound of a pin drop. 336.7 billion! How did Nemesis and Marshal Garcia manage this? The 30 billion in the princesss n was a reasonable expectation, but Nemesis and Marshal Garcia had not only met but grossly exceeded it! Did those nations on the west continent not resist at all? Though the nations on the west continent were smaller,bined, they wielded substantial power. The ministers were at a loss as to how they managed to acquire such riches from them. The finance minister, Lai Yin shook his head, suppressing the exploding chaos in his mind, and then tremblingly asked, Your Excellency Nemesis, are are all your words true? Before Su Yu could reply, Alyssa, sitting on the throne, spoke: Every word of Nemesis is true, the numbers I received indeed tally, it can be verified. Tina also chimed in with a timely nod: Yes, Nemesis and I together seized a total of 336.7 billion in spoils, of which I only took a little over 100 billion, the lions share was Nemesiss Next, Tina roughly exined the strategy used by Su Yu in the western maind campaign. Especially the parts about Raiding Haiyan City and Soliciting the Xier Alliance as mercenaries were emphasised. After hearing Tinas description, the ministers finally surrendered their hearts and verbally pledged their allegiance. Not to mention anything else, just deciding to Raid Haiyan City, most decision-makers would find it very hard to make, because this was indeed too risky! And to make such a decision in a short time, surely only a human who was proficient in prophecy like Nemesis would be so bold! Lai Yin lowered his head and mumbled, Lord Nemesis, I never thought you would be so powerful! Now the governments debt has beenpletely filled, and we also have more budget to invest into the founding ceremony, post-war reconstruction.. no, the most urgent task is to prepare for the coronation of the princess. Lai Yin was speaking incoherently, blushing with excitement. Alyssa got off the throne, came over to Su Yu and Tina, You two have done a great merit this time, how should I reward you? Well Su Yu bowed respectfully, This is up to you, Your Excellency, as long as you think its appropriate. Tina also nodded, I think so too. Very well then. Alyssa didnt think for too long, and made her decision, Since you two brought back spoils worth more than 300 billion, Ill give you each 10 billion! How does that sound? 10 billion?! Sounds of people sharply inhaling echoed in the hall. The ministers present, of course, knew what a sum of 10 billion meant. For high-level nobles of the empire like the Lord of Pearl City, apart from fixed assets like shops,nds, and manors, their dispossable assets would amount to several billion. The princess casually gave Nemesis and Tina 10 billion each! This was beyond the description of generous! Su Yu and Tina werepletely stunned. This was 10 billion! Su Yu had once held 10 billion, so he knew how much he could get for this money. With this 10 billion, he wouldntck resources to cultivate from sixth level all the way to seventh level! Buy! Buy! Buy! Tina had no concept of this 10 billion, she didnt need to train like Su Yu. However, she thought to herself, such a huge sum of money, I can use it to help the poor children in the country, provide them with opportunities for further education. It can also serve as a way to reduce the pressure on the princesss grassroots governance, perfect. Seeing the two in front of her not speaking, Alyssa smiled, Since you dont have anything to say, lets settle with this decision! Once the spoils are auctioned, Ill give the money to you. Su Yu received a notification: Ding, your main storyline [Goldfinch Empire (86-95) /100] ispleted! You have received the reward: 10 billion spiritual energy coins. Please retrieve them from [Princess Alyssa] Thank you, Your Highness! Su Yu was extremely grateful! Youre wee, its what you deserve. Alyssa said smilingly, while taking the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] from Su Yu, she carefully put it around her neck. Chapter 317: 317, Coronation Ceremony, Goldfinch Empress! _1 Chapter 317: Coronation Ceremony, Goldfinch Empress! _1 The enormous amount of spoils of war that Su Yu and Tina brought back breathed new life into the war-torn Golden Chrysanthemum Empire. Princess Alyssa, with the renewed funding, drew up a series of high-standard post-war rebuilding and economic recovery ns, dispensing arge amount of reconstruction funds in severely war-torn areas like Forest City, Orleans City, and Maple City. With abundant financial support, the entire nation started to get back on its feet. In the following month of the game time, the final 5 quests in the main storyline of the Golden Chrysanthemum Empire were initiated. These 5 quests werergely centered around the princesss coronation ceremony. In these 5 quests, Su Yu took on the role of the Princesss diplomatic ambassador, responsible for receiving foreign officials and envoys. All the countries in the Western Continent sent envoys to Golden Chrysanthemum City to participate in the princesss coronation. Especially noteworthy is the envoy from the Xier Federal, who brought gifts worth billions of spiritual energy coins! Thevish gift signified that the Xier Federal had abandoned its fence-sitting policy and was now entrusting its wholehearted support to the Golden Chrysanthemum Empire. In addition to these small Western countries, the elf kingdom and dwarf kingdom also dispatched special envoys with precious gifts of local specialties. The special envoy from the Elf Kingdom was Princess Emily, whom Su Yu knew. Princess Emilys nt Transformation Disease had nearlypletely recovered. Her visit to the human world was not only to attend the Princesss coronation but also to thank Su Yu and subtly ask if he would like to marry her. Su Yu dly epted Emilys thanks, but as for her proposal after some contemtion, he politely declined. The Dwarf Kingdom dispatched a special envoy named [Bartek Ironbeard], a sanctuary dwarf with a red beard. He was said to be Queen Alises fathers fencing instructor, and the two had often sparred together. Also worth noting is that the two human empires, the Wind Chime and Lai Yin, did not send envoys. Upon learning of the princesss impending coronation, they sent sternly worded warnings to the princess using magicalmunication. The content of the warnings was not of importance, mostly trumped-up usations. However, the two empires dered a state of war emergency and officially dered war on the Golden Chrysanthemum Empire. Thankfully, the Princesss coronation was not impacted by these two empires. On July 31st of the Blue Star Calendar, thest day of the first expansion, the princess officially held her coronation ceremony in the central square of Golden Chrysanthemum City. Traditionally, the coronation ceremony would be held at a location called the Sanctuary, north of the Golden Chrysanthemum pce, to receive the protection of their ancestor. However, to demonstrate her affinity with the people, Alyssa chose not to hold the ceremony there, but instead at the central square, so that her subjects could witness her crowning. After the ceremony, she would then go to the Sanctuary to pay tribute to her ancestral spirits. By ten oclock in the morning game time, the square was packed with citizens who hade to watch the ceremony. The more desirable ces closer to the inside were even taken by people who had arrived the night before to secure their spots. Everyone was straining on tiptoes, looking towards the direction of the pce down the street. Before long, the luxurious carriage in which the princess was seated, drawn by six magnificent horses and ted with ayer of mysterious silver, slowly approached the square. Alyssa, dressed in a luxurious robe of intertwined gold and red, held a gold sceptera symbol of royal powerin her right hand and smiled at the people on both sides of the road. As the crowd caught sight of the princess, they exploded into deafening cheers, and many hoarsely shouted her name. If the princess started a religion, these people would definitely be her fanatical followers. Standing not far behind Alyssa on a carriage were Su Yu and Tina, wearing dozens of medals on their chests and waving to the crowd on both sides of the road. The Princesss ride gradually made its way into the square amidst the cheers of the crowd. The coronation ceremony officially began upon reaching the square. The coronation ceremony was divided into two parts; the first part was a sacrificial ceremony, a plea for ancestral blessing; The second part was the formal coronation ceremony. The first part of the ceremony. Under Alyssas leadership, a 20-meter-tall totem pole was erected in the square. Alyssa knelt with one knee before the totem pole, praying to the illustrious spirits of the ancestors. The totem pole emanated a multitude of colors, these radiations were the impressions of power left behind by sessive Golden Chrysanthemum emperors at the peak of their power at forty. The energy rich in these imprints continually overflowed from the totem pole, falling onto Alyssa and bestowing blessings on the future sessor of the empire. Due to the shared origin, these forces were quickly assimted by Alyssa into her own power, and her strength began to ascend explosively. Finally, after several minutes, Alyssa managed to break through the bottleneck on the podium, bing a fifth-order mage, and acquired the ability to fly. Alyssa expressed more words of gratitude in her prayer to the ancestors, thus concluding the first stage of the sacrificial ceremony. Alyssa stood up, her hand resting on the totem pole, and under the witness of the ancestors, she was formally crowned as the Emperor. The royal chief mage [Shn] solemnly walked out from the side of the podium, her hands holding a pale gold crown studded with numerous gemstones. By tradition, this crown would be ced on Alyssas head by Shalen, symbolizing the royal familys respect for the supernatural energy of magic. But Alyssa did not wish to follow convention. She took the crown from Shns hands and adorned it herself. This symbolized that the power was granted by herself to herself. Then Alyssa raised her arms and dered to the people below the stage: I, Alyssa Golden Chrysanthemum, am your unchallenged Empress! This break from tradition left many aristocratic ministers on the stage in surprise. However, there were also those who cheered fanatically: Long live! Long live! Long live the Empress! The cheering rose incessantly, each wave eclipsed by the next. From the moment Alyssa wore the crown, the title of Princess Alyssa became history, and in its ce was Empress Alyssa. She would lead the Golden Chrysanthemums towards a new future! When the cheering died down a bit, Alyssa motioned with her hand tomence her first speech after her coronation: My subjects, in the past forty years, our nation has endure an unprecedented cmity. In this cmity, the northern Dukes Landilus and Anzu Seifer were unable to suppress their ambitions(omitting 300 words)Finally, we survived this crisis, with the help of prophet Nemesis and Marshal Tina Garcia, we reestablished the unity of the empire, and gained valuable resources to aid in the rebuilding of our homnd(omitting 500 words) Now I can solemnly assure you all, under my leadership, we of the Golden Chrysanthemum Empire will surely have a brighter tomorrow! Long live the Empress! Long live! Long live! The crowd erupted in intense cheers once more. Many tossed their hats up high into the air, transforming the area below the stage into an ocean of hats. Chapter 318: 318, Goldfinch Empire Main storyline ends_1 Chapter 318: Goldfinch Empire Main storyline ends_1 Following Queen Alises coronation, a ceremony to honour the Empires meritorious officials was held immediately. Queen Alise raised her hand to quiet the audience below the ceremony stage and then spoke with an authoritative voice. Next, I will reward the heroes who have defended our country! I thank them for their sacrifices during the war of restoration! Tina Garcia. Queen Alise turned to Tina, who was standing closest to her. Your Majesty! Tina bowed in salute. Tina, you were born into amoners family and through your hard work and exceptional talents, you became the Empires General at just 18. Starting from Orleans City, you led our forces to victory in dozens ofrge and small battles, with hardly any losses! You made a significant contribution to our cause of restoration! Now, I grant you the rank of a Duke, in the name of the Goldfinch Queen, along with thend of Pearl City and all the towns within its jurisdiction! With these words, she took out a precious badge made of fine gold from the Space Ring and personally pinned it onto Tinas chest. Upon hearing the Queens words, everyone present, noble and peasant alike, was taken aback. Pearl City has been one of the Empires most powerful cities even before the war. Now, after the war, with Forest City basically ruined and Goldfinch Citys status irrepressibly falling, it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that Pearl City is now the most powerful city within the Empire! No one expected Queen Alise to grant such a city to Tina! Thank you, Your Majesty! Tina knelt on one knee, leaning on her sword, to express her gratitude for the Queens reward. In fact, a few days earlier Tina had already told Queen Alise about her ns to quit her official position and travel the world, which the Queen respected. Hence, Queen Alises gift of Pearl City to Tina is just a clever move to keep the city under the control of the Royal Family. ording to tradition, a city the size of Pearl City would usually be given to war heroes. By rewarding Tina and having Pearl City return to the Royal Family when Tina steps down, she aplished her goal. And you, Nemesis. Queen Alise turned to Su Yu, whispering to him: Youve made countless contributions to the Empire. In Kaishi Town, you saved my life from falling into Landilus hands; During the decisive battle in Orleans City, you summoned Bernina,pletely reversing the oue; In the past few months, youve returned from the western continent with Tina, bringing back arge number of spoils of war, helping to alleviate the Empires debt. I remember you once told me that you wish to be the Empires Minister of Foreign Trade. Now, I shall fulfill this wish of yours! Nemesis, I grant you the title of Duke and the position of the Empires Minister of Foreign Trade! With that, she took out a badge made of pure white gemstone and personally pinned it onto Su Yu. Indeed, with Su Yus contributions, Queen Alise couldve granted him Orleans City as hisnd, she even entertained such an idea in the past. However, considering if Nemesis truly became the Lord of Orleans City, he would surely not be able to stay by her side for long. Moreover, there would inevitably be conflicts of interest between the Royal Family and local lords, which could give rise to disputes. She didnt want to create a rift with Nemesis because of this. Additionally, she intends to groom Nemesis to be a Prince and co-manage the country with him. Theres no need to make him the Lord of Orleans City. Therefore, Queen Alise granted Su Yu only the position of Minister of Foreign Trade. Thank you, Your Majesty! Su Yu smiled as he epted the Queens award. Ding, the main storyline [Goldfinch Empire (96-100)/100] ispleted. You received the following rewards: Title [Duke], Position [Goldfinch Minister of Foreign Trade], essory [Glow of the Golden Sparrow], 10 World Prestige Points, and 100,000 Experience Points. Ding, the main storyline [Goldfinch Empire] has been satisfactorilypleted, thank you for your participation! At the same time, the main storyline with the golden frame on Su Yus mission panel disappeared without a trace. Looking at the vanished storyline, Su Yu felt a sense of regret. This plotline gave him many benefits, territorial gains, power, strong equipment, and even favor from Queen Alise and Tina. However, good things dontst forever, the main storyline is nowpleted. But he felt it was time to break free from the scripts constraints and do the things he wanted to do. He then examined the badge bestowed upon him by the Queen. [Glow of the Golden Sparrow] essory Characteristic 1: Your reputation in the Goldfinch Empire is permanently set to [Admiration]. Characteristic 2: You can temporarilymand up to 3000 Goldfinch army personnel for a duration of 24 hours. Cooldown: 24 hours. Characteristic 3: When fighting on the territory of the Goldfinch Empire, your damage output increases by 30%. Characteristic 4: Your intelligence, strength, and agility are increased by 10%. Characteristic 5: Additional ability [Glorys Sacrifice]: Detonate yourself, causing optical sound damage equal to ten times your maximum life value within a radius of one kilometer. (Can only be used in the Goldfinch Empires territory, after use you cannot log into the game for seven days.) Remarks: You are the sky, you are the light, you are the only myth. Not bad at all! Su Yu nodded at the essory. But what exactly is the deal with this Attribute 5, akin to a suicide bomb? Queen Alise wanted to ask Su Yu some questions. But seeing that he wasnt paying attention to her, she turned to others. Next, you Lord Rnd, Master of [Silvershine Spire]. Queen Alise looked at the tower master who was not far away. Your Majesty! Rnd respectfully performed a mages salute to Queen Alise. Though you made some mistakes in Forest City, even assisting the despicable conspirator, Xi Fan, considering the situation at that time, and your significant contributions in the decisive battle, your merits offset your demerits. The status of [Silvershine Spire] will remain unchanged for now. Privately, Queen Alise had promised Rnd many benefits, such as paving the correct path for him to reach the pinnacle of a seventh-order mage. However, these matters were not suitable for a public setting, so she didnt mention them. Thank you, Your Majesty! Rnd respectfully replied. During the rest of the ceremony, Queen Alise rewarded all the heroes present. With a lot of avable positions andnds due to the war, and Queen Alise now having control over many resources, almost every hero received suitable rewards! After the award ceremony, a national celebrationsted for a month. During this month, apart from the government departments working hard to prepare against potential military invasions by the two major Empires, ordinary people took to the streets for joyous parades. Not just during the days, even the nights were lit by bonfires, with merry people everywhere. Everyone celebrated profusely, d that the hard times of war were over, and strongly believed that under Queen Alises rule, the Empire would venture into a new future! Chapter 319: 319, Game Event —— [Illusion Duel]_1 Chapter 319: Game Event [Illusion Duel]_1 After the ceremony, Alyssa returned to the Royal Pce to rest, while Tina returned to the barracks to pack her belongings, preparing to hit the road I mean, to bring her core team to assume roles in Pearl City. As for Su Yu, he asked Alyssa for a long vacation, intending to return to the Mage Tower in his territory for secluded cultivation. Now that all the main storylines areplete, the urgent task is to ramp up his strength quickly and advance to the Sixth Tier Sanctuary as soon as possible. Knowing Su Yus situation, Alyssa was reluctant but still agreed to his leave request and cheerfully let him go. It was noon on July 31st. Su Yu used the [Hearthstone] to return to the [Town Hall] in Aphi city. Once back at Town Hall, he opened the tech tree of the territory to check on the current state of technology researches in his territory. Important research such as [Components], [Steelmaking], [Internal Combustion Engine], and [Electric Power] in the territory were alreadyplete. After some consideration, he decided to start researching [Wireless Communication]. Ding, [Wireless Communication] research initiated, expected to bepleted in 48 hours. Theres nothing else he needs to supervise next. Su Yu closed the tech tree panel, exited the Town Hall, activated [Ice Wings] on his shoulder guards and flew towards the Mage Tower. But just then, he received a private message. A nce revealed that it was from Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard: Have youpleted the main storyline? Su Yu: Thats right. Snow Leopard: What are your ns next? Su Yu: Im nning to seclude myself in the Mage Tower for cultivation until I reach the Sixth Tier. [Striving hard emoji] Snow Leopard: Your idea is very sound. Sigh![Sigh emoji] Su Yu: Whats wrong? Is it time to change eggs? Snow Leopard: Change eggs? What does that mean? [Confused emoji] Su Yu: Nevermind Why the sigh, Little Snow Leopard? Snow Leopard: We have spent a lot of man power and resources searching but havent found any buildings like [Yulon statue] or [Temple of Heavens Altar of the God]. All the massive investments have been wasted, its so distressing! Su Yu: So, thats what it is Su Yu: But, I think you guys should keep looking. Its just like when youre eating and one bun isnt enough, so you keep eating until the tenth one and youll eventually be full, right? Have some confidence! In fact, Su Yu wasnt sure if there were any treasures in the game with simr effects to the [Yulon statue]. At least, there was none when he tried in his previous life. But just because it didnt exist in his previous life doesnt mean it cant exist in the game. Based on Su Yus intuition, hes sure it exists; its just well-hidden so no one has found it yet. Therefore, Su Yu supported Snow Leopards continued search. Snow Leopard: Eating ten buns in one meal Su Yu: Im just giving an example. Su Yu: If all else fails, you can invest in my territory! Snow Leopard: Invest in your territory??? Su Yu: Yeah! When the territory is promoted to [Small City], you can only build one structure simr to the [Mage Tower], but after that, you can build three more when it is promoted to [Medium City], nine in a [Large City], and twenty-seven in a maxed-out [World-ss City]! Snow Leopard: [Shocked emoji] Why havent I heard about this important matter from you before? Su Yu: Well, you never asked! Snow Leopard: Su Yu: Alright, if youre interested in this, feel free to negotiate a deal with Swift. We can transfer some of the quotas to you. Swift had deeper feelings for Aphi city than Su Yu did. After all, Su Yu was a hands-off boss, busy doing tasks outside all day long. Swift, on the other hand, was different. Except for necessary procurement, she barely ever left Aphi city and had a clearer view of the citys development than Su Yu did. Thats why Su Yu suggested Snow Leopard negotiate with her. Snow Leopard: Okay, Ill estimate the cost and contact Swift soon. Lets hope she doesnt ask for too high a price. [System Notification]: The first [Illusion Duel] will be held promptly at 20:00 this evening. yers intending to participate, please reserve four hours of game time. The entrance is located at the center square of each city, and there are abundant prizes waiting for you! (For specificpetition rules, please browse the official website) Snow Leopard: Su Yu: Snow Leopard: What is this? [Illusion Duel]? Su Yus mouth twitched involuntarily. How could he have forgotten about this event?! Everyst day of the data expansion, there would be an [Illusion Duel] event within the game. The [Illusion Duel], just like the war games that Tina often yed, uses random maps. After yers converse with the [Illusion Envoy] and step into the portal, every 100 yers would be randomly allocated into a single map. Inside this map, the system would bnce the yers power dynamically. For example, yers with poor equipment, low levels, and fewer skills would be bestowed buffs to increase damage output and reduce damage intake. This ensures all 100 yers can fight from the same base level. Then it would be a survival game akin to a battle royale. The yable area of the map would gradually shrink throughout the 40 minutes, eventually leaving only one yer. During these 40 minutes, random monsters would spawn in the map for yers to kill. Killing these monsters would reward map-exclusive powerful equipment, potions, one-time consumables, and so on. Killing other yers would allow you to seize the illusion items they have dropped. Therefore, the [Illusion Duel] is a major test of luck. Even a formidable yer like Snow Leopard could capsize under probability, if unlucky enough to encounter an ordinary yer equipped with several power-ups. So even ordinary yers could potentially win as long as theyre lucky. The remaining yer would advance to the next round for another fair duel with other surviving yers. From the second round to the final round (the fourth round in the China region), the gamey is pretty much the same as the first round C survival in the shrinking map. The only difference is that thest round includes all remaining yers, leading to the final winner. Every cleared round rewards a yer with high prizes, and the final winner walks away with luxurious rewards everyone envies! This is one of the rare events within the game. Snow Leopard then entered the games official website through the in-game official forum, reading through all the rules of the event in detail. Although he didnt have much gaming experience, he generally understood the game mode. After contemting for a while, he messaged Su Yu: This event Are you participating? Su Yu: I probably wont participate. I have already gained many benefits through two main storylines. If I grab the prize for this too, I fear it might cause discontent among everyone. Snow Leopard: Okay. Chapter 320: 320, Isn’t this better than a girlfriend? (Additional Update) _1 Chapter 320: Isnt this better than a girlfriend? (Additional Update) _1 The reason why Su Yu didnt participate in this event was not because he was afraid other yers would be unhappy with the rewards hed receive, but rather, he feared messing up during the event. Once yers enter the event map, the bnce of power would dynamically adjust to an identical level, leaving him with no particr advantage. If a fellow group member lucked out, winning loads of equipment or something as game-changing as the [Bloodline Curse Rune] (which could reduce the opponents attributes by 50%), it would highly endanger his odds of sess. Being well aware of his consistently bad luck in the game, Su Yu had no interest in joining a luck-based event. Yet Snow Leopard took a different perspective from Su Yus. Snow Leopard believed that with Su Yus knack for forecasting, he could predict the location of newly emerging monsters, strategically striking early and securing the position of Gu King. Snow Leopard felt that Su Yu was merely avoiding thepetition not to harm the fragile self-esteem of other yers. Hence, Snow Leopards impression of Su Yu improved greatly: Actually, its quite nice youre not participating in this event. Snow Leopard: However, you should make an announcement on the forum. I noticed several threads discussing you when I passed by the forum. Su Yu: Okay, Ill go to the forum right away. Next, Su Yu posted on the forum bore the title Official Statement: I Will Not Participate In This Event. In the post, Su Yu reasoned that hes giving everyone a chance, highlighting his nobility and integrity. Knowing Su Yus unique future-predicting ability (as Commissioner Zhang mentioned in his video), the yers praised Su Yus behavior extensively. An hour after posting, the post garnered hundreds of thousands ofments, and millions of likes! yers praised Su Yu for his nobleness, purity, and elevation beyond petty fun, proiming him a role model of the new era. Simultaneously, everyone was gearing up for the event, hopeful to be the next Gu Kingeven if the odds were smaller than winning 5 million in a lottery. Even after posting, Su Yu was already at the entrance of the Mage Tower, preparing to enter. But instead of pushing the door open, he paused with his hand on the door. Su Yu had an ideato stream the [Illusion Duel] in the game via the forums link during the evening, thus, multitasking by practicing while watching the game. A good way to pass the otherwise dull practice time. With this in mind, Su Yu decided to log out and save the game time for the evening. Su Yus figure disappeared in front of the Mage Tower with a sh of white light, along with Mage Towers pet, Cat Morning Star. A while after, little Kathy stepped out of the Mage Tower on her two wobbly feet,ining under her breath: Lord is such a nuisance! We were chatting away, and then he suddenly disappeared. Who knows when well meet again? Kathy knew that once the lord left the game, hed be absent for six or seven days, a long time. She massaged her aching head and headed towards her home in Aphi City. In the real world Before Su Yu could remove his helmet after logging out, Cat Morning Star already jumped out of the pet space and threw herself towards his phone on the bed. It had been two full weeks since Cat Morning Star set foot in the real world for the first time, but her obsession with the phone never waned. Securing the phone the moment she logs offline is of utmost importance to her. She even programmed her paw print into the fingerprint unlock system so that just a swipe with her little paw unlocked the phone. Now she is nestled on the bed, her eyes glued to the phone, utterly engrossed. Su Yu stood up, removing his helmet and stretching his stiff body from hours of sitting. As he stretched, he nced towards bed-ridden Morning Star, How did your recovery go today? Without taking her eyes off the phone, Morning Start replied: Just returned to fourth level today. The pace isnt bad. In a few days, I should be able to reach peak fourth level by the time you go to the different dimension, I should be back to the initial sixth level. Reached the initial sixth level? Thats good news! A smile crept over Su Yus face. With Morning Starsbat power surpassing his post-sixth level and her ability to resurrect ten times, Su Yus safety for his trip to Skru Star would considerably increase! But as Su Yu looked at Morning Stars fluffy body that was sprinkled with a touch of stardust, he felt a sudden urge to pet her. He moved towards Morning Star. Noticing Su Yus questionable intentions for her body, Morning Star curled up and managed to turn around, her face now filled with caution: What are you trying to do? Let me pet you, okay? Su Yu extended his hand towards her. No! Morning Star replied immediately. And she had the perfect strategy to deal with this kind of situation. With a swift transformation, she changed into a cat-eared human maid. Although her body changed instantly, she continued ying on the phone. Her short, fluffy tail swung from side to side behind her. Su Yus hand hung awkwardly in mid-air. Morning Star in cat form was so cute that he couldnt resist the urge to pet her. But when she became human, he just couldnt bring himself to do it anymore. Sigh, Su Yu sighed deeply. The color in his vision suddenly shifted from vibrant to monochrome. Wordlessly, he sat back down on the sofa. Morning Stars hardened heart melted at the sight of Su Yus hopeless face: Maybe you can pet me a little? She transformed back into the Star Realm cat, gracefullynding on Su Yus thigh with a leap. But she didnt put the phone down. Under her magical control, the phone was always floating about six centimeters before her eyes. Su Yu cradled Morning Star in his arms, petting her fluffy body. Instantly, he felt a lot of his pressure melt away. A sensible and obedient cat is truly healing! Unlike a girlfriend who would only stress him out. Lost in his thoughts, Su Yu was startled by a sudden iing call on his phone. It was Xue Wenli calling. Without a word, Morning Star quickly answered the call and held it up to Su Yus ear. Talk fast! Keep it short! You only have 1 minute of call time! Corner of Su Yus mouth twitched. On the other end, Xue Wenlisughter came through: Haha, is that your Star Realm cat speaking? Before Su Yu could answer, Morning Star leaped onto his shoulder, shouting at the receiver: Human, if its not important, dont chat! Only 45 seconds left! Alright, alright, I didnt know she had such a temper. Xue Wenli chuckled on the other end of the line. Anyway, lets get to the point. The medical researchers in our department didnt find any extraterrestrial bacteria or virus samples from Morning Stars movement path yesterday. Just as she said, her body may indeed not contain any pathogens. So, you can take her outside to any ce, but its best not to leave East Sea City. Having said this, Xue Wenli promptly hung up. Chapter 321: 321, Cat plays with cat_1 Chapter 321: Cat ys with cat_1 Last night, Su Yu took Morning Star out for a walk. However, unlike before, Morning Star didnt activate the [Star Shield]st night, allowing her to freely breathe and exchange air with the outside world. Expert groups from relevant departments gathered samples from the path Morning Star travelled on for study. The conclusion they made was that they hadnt found any trace of alien bacteria or viruses, which might be rted to the physical characteristics of this special group called Star Cats. Since Morning Star wouldnt spread bacteria or viruses, she was naturally free to move about the entire city! Morning Star, let me take you out to y! Su Yu patted the cats head. He still had four hours left in his game time, meaning they could go out now and not have to return until seven or eight oclock in the evening. Not going. Morning Star answered coldly, not taking her eyes off the phone screen. Going out isnt as fun as ying on the phone. Two weeks ago, when she first arrived in this world, she had wanted to go out and understand what this strange world was like. But now that there was a smartphone, she could clearly understand the world through the phone, and the desire to go out naturally diminished. Seeing Morning Stars inertia to move like a homebody cat, Su Yu proposed, How about I take you out for grilled fish? Our cuisine is much more advanced than your world, and the grilled fish is delicious! Morning Star clearly hesitated for a moment. But she still answered coldly: Not interested, I do not want to go. Obviously, the appeal of the smartphone was just a tad greater than that of food. If you dont go, then Ill have to go alone? Su Yu changed his shoes, put his hand on the door handle and was ready to leave. Go ahead, bye! Morning Star adjusted the direction of her phone screen and turned her back to Su Yu, not even giving him a nce. Ah! Su Yu sighed and muttered, I had nned on getting a certain cat a new phone this time out, but it seems that n is off. Morning Star: !!! Her pair of blue cat ears instantly stood upright. Then, a beam of starlight streaked across the room, and Morning Star almost instantly appeared on Su Yus shoulder, staring at him with wide eyes: New phone! Are you sure! I want the one with the best performance and the biggest screen on the market! Su Yus phone was bought back in his university days, and after three or four years, the hardware was already old andgged severely. But since Su Yu used to either be at work, pulling overtime, or dining with various female clients except for calling, setting rms, and writing memos, he never really had any other use for it and hence didnt rece it. But for Morning Star, if Su Yu could buy her a new phone, her mobile gaming experience would absolutely leap forward! So as soon as Su Yu mentioned a new phone, Morning Star became immediately excited. Alright, I will buy you the best performing phone on the market! Su Yu doted while scratching Morning Stars chin. Morning Star, in turn, changed her previous indifferent behavior. First, she pretended to befortable and squinted her eyes, then she stuck out her small tongue and gently licked Su Yus neck, Nemesis, youre the best! Lets get going! Alright. Su Yu picked up his keys, and together with Morning Star, they left the house. The rest of the afternoon until seven in the evening, Su Yu was out and about with Morning Star. He kept his promise and bought her the most expensive phone on the market, took her to a grilled fish restaurant, rode the roller coaster in the amusement park, and saw the towering buildings in downtown East Sea City But walking all the way, the biggest feeling Su Yu had was C it was so quiet, hardly anyone was around. Now everyones attention has shifted to Evolution, with nearly a hundred million people changing their careers to be professional yers in Evolution, spending all twelve hours of their daily game time in there. Others, like the power and food departments, were still working to ensure peoples livelihood but were trying their best to devote as much time as possible to Evolution. Everyone was busy. As a result, the real-world tertiary industry, namely the service sector,pletely copsed. The previously bustling snack streets and pedestrian streets were all closed. The open ones were basically unmanned stores. The phone store Su Yu and Morning Star visited had no salespeople C they just needed to pick up the phone and pay; the grilled fish restaurant they went to had only an ET-312 cooking robot in charge of grilling fish, and there were no other customers. Same with the amusement park, the machines were running but there were no ticket sellers The entire city felt deserted. Morning Star, however, did not feel the silence and was quite entertained. But it wasnt possible to spend seven hours just browsing a few stores. Of these seven hours, Su Yu and Morning Star spent only a small portion of the time ying, and the bulk of the time was spent on more serious matters. That serious matter was C killing ghosts. It was only after taking Morning Star out that Su Yu found her perception of ghosts was much stronger than his own! Before, Su Yus method of dealing with ghosts was: the relevant department discovered suspected ghost harm C notified Su Yu C Su Yu went to the site to investigate and eliminate the ghosts. Su Yu could only sense the trace of hidden ghosts within a 50-meter radius. But Morning Star was different. She seemed to have a special perception ability that could sense the existence of ghosts within a two-kilometer radius, and urately locate the position of the ghosts! With Morning Star being a ghost detecting radar, in just these short seven hours, Su Yu had killed a total of 61 ghosts! This was almost equal to the quantity from thest half month, saving many potential lives. They got home at seven in the evening, with only an hour left before [Illusion Duel] started. Sitting on the couch, Su Yu sent the results of todays ghost-killing to Xue Wenli via text. Then, gently stroking Morning Stars smooth fur, he smiled: Looks like I should bring you out more often. Morning Star was not responding to Su Yu; she was engrossed in her new phone thoroughly enjoying it. She was currently immersed in a MOBA mobile game, controlling a hero called [Magical Kitty Youmi]. She used Youmi to possess a teammate, released the ultimate, and three golden light waves swept out, directly incapacitating the enemys five heroes! Her teammates surged forward, sessfully annihting the opponents. Upon seeing the cats skilled operation, teammates sent out [Thumbs Up emoji], and some even typed in the public screen: The cat ys well! Of course! Morning Star replied proudly on the public screen: Because I am a cat! Her teammates: Su Yu could no longer hold back at this point. He picked Morning Star up by the scruff of her neck: Alright, its gettingte, we should log in. Morning Star: No! Let me finish this game Before she finished speaking, Morning Star disappeared from mid-air, as Su Yu pulled her into the pet space. Su Yu quickly caught the falling phone from the air, put on his helmet and entered the game. Her four teammates in the game were left dumbfounded. Why did the cat suddenly quit while they were ying well? Chapter 323: 323, Snow Leopard’s Illusion Duel (First Part)_1 Chapter 323: Snow Leopards Illusion Duel (First Part)_1 Snow Leopard followed the crowd through the teleportation portal. After a dizzying moment, his surroundings changed and he found himself in a forest during the early morning. It was quite a sparse forest with the distance between trees generally about 4 or 5 meters. Since it was early morning, the light in the forest was not abundant and the grass and branches were still covered in morning dew. Once he arrived in this unfamiliar environment, the first thing Snow Leopard did was turn into [Cheetah Form] and leap into the bushes, warily observing his surroundings. Almost immediately, he discovered a target in the distancea woman dressed in green leather armor, a spectacr figure, wielding a bow, standing about ten meters behind him. Apart from her, there were no other visible targets in the vicinity. Snow Leopard didnt hesistate and immediatelyunched a [Pounce] at the woman. With her pinned beneath him, he unleashed a series of moves, [nting], [Sweep], [Ferocious Bite] one after another onto her. Ah! Ah! The woman archer was so frightened that she started screaming. She had barely steadied herself from the teleportation when a fierce leopard pounced on her and started tearing at her, frightening her almost into unconsciousness. By the time she realized that the leopard was actually a yer, it was toote for her to attempt a [Backflip] evasive manoeuvre. During that time, Snow Leopards series ofbo attacks had wiped out more than half her health. Upon seeing her backflip away, Snow Leopard wasnt going to let her escape. He activated his speed boost skill [Cheetah Sprint], instantly boosting his speed by 60%, and stuck to her like glue. The woman was in a state of panic and tried to use the [Sliding Shovel] skill to create distance between her and Snow Leopard. However, whether due to nervousness or something else, the woman archer faltered considerably in her control. Instead of [Sliding Shovel] away from Snow Leopard, she moved 180 degrees toward him. Thanks to her mishap, not only did she not put any distance between them, she ended up sliding right to Snow Leopards feet. Snow Leopard: ??? This was the first time hed seen an archer voluntarily close the distance with a melee fighter. If she wanted to be so polite, Snow Leopard was definitely not going to hold back! He sidestepped the [Sliding Shovel] knockdown effect with a small jump, and once again unleashed a series ofbo attacks on her. As she fell to his onughts, with her health depleted, she vanished in a sh of white light from her spot. Seeing this, thement section of the live broadcast room exploded: Hahaha, that backward slide was hrious, I cant stopughing! That girl is awesome! As an archer, she actually dares to face Snow Leopard head-on! I think that move should make it into the Evolution Weekly Comedy Montage. Im going to submit it! Boss Snow Leopard, you mercilessly ripped that poor girl apart. You really dont treatdies delicately. But that girl has a great figure! Im practically drooling! Ah, no lies everyone, thats my girlfriend, it looks like Im going to have tofort her tonight. Hold up, boyfriend! Are you dreaming? The system has anonymized names and changed appearances. How did you recognize she was your girlfriend? When yers enter the fantasy battle map, their name tags disappear and their appearances are forcibly changed into something else. The same applied to Snow Leopard. Originally his [Cheetah Form] manifested as a handsome, considerablyrge ck leopard, but after being forcibly changed, he became a smaller speckled leopard with a golden coat and ck spots. Even if he were to encounter Mr. Li or Mr. Meng, who both had a close rtionship with him, they wouldnt be able to recognize him as Snow Leopard. Back in Su Yus Mage Tower. Morningstar watched Snow Leopards performance and nodded approvingly, This kid has talent. Its quite rare to see a druid exhibiting such proficient control over his attacks at this level of advancement. Thats for sure! replied Su Yu with a smile, Just based on his current performance, hes the second most capable out of millions of adventurers in our dimension. Hes definitely not weak. And whos first? Morningstar asked curiously. Of course, that would be me! Su Yu replied, a shudder passing over his lips, Even a thousand of him wouldnt be able to beat me. Morningstar palmed her forehead, Oh right, how could I forget you As she picked up a piece of dried beef and tossed it in her mouth, she spoke through bites, In a few days, I can introduce him to many Great Druids from the Elf Race who have reached the Sanctuary level. Im sure they wont mind taking on such a talented disciple. Thanks on Snow Leopards behalf! Su Yu scratched the cats head. The scene returned to the game. Upon killing the archer girl, Snow Leopard immediately gained a buff[Breath of Blood]. [Breath of Blood]: Increases all your properties by 5%, stackable without limit, loses effect after leaving the fantasy realm. At the same time, it makes you more susceptible to detection bypetitors. After seeing the buffs effect, Snow Leopard immediately figured out that this was the game mechanic designed to encourage yer battles. Winning by hiding and trying to survive wasnt really an option. You had to kill a considerable number of yers to stack buffs and essentially steal the show. With this thought, Snow Leopard activated [Stealth] and began carefully searching for his next target nearby. Time passed slowly. Thirty-five minutester, Snow Leopards first round of the Secret Realm Duel came to an end. The difficulty of the first round wasnt high for top-tier yers like Snow Leopard. As all 100 yers from the entire map were randomly selected by the game, most of them were like the female archer from just now, merely average yers struggling with their gaming controls. Some yers have never even participated in PVP before and didnt even know what abilities Snow Leopard had. Even though the game mechanic equalized everyones equipment and skills, the gap in operating proficiency, situational judgement, adaptability, and ability to seize opportunities between ordinary yers and top-tier yers was just too immense. Snow Leopard started a snowball effect, killing more than a dozen yers and umting buffs along the way. At the same time, he was lucky and looted two pieces of equipment from killing monsters and three pieces of Secret Realm equipment from the yers he killed. In the end, he swept past all his opponents with his overwhelming advantage and sessfully advanced to the next round. Of course, the audience in his livestream room wished to see him win. 666ments filled the entire room. After killing thestpetitor with a [Ferocious Bite], Snow Leopard received the game notification: Congrattions on eliminating allpetitors and getting the qualification for the next round. The countdown for the next duel begins: 24:47. Battle settlement in progress Your performance in this round is rated as [SS], you received as a reward: [Random Rare Quality Skill Book (Druid)] x1. With the game notification, Snow Leopards figure gradually disappeared into the forest. Not long after, he ended up back at the central square of Goldfinch. Countless shes of white light flickered around him as other yers were also returned to the square. Chapter 324: 324, Fantastical duel of the Snow Leopard (Middle), Assistant of Zhan Tian Jian? _1 Chapter 324: Fantastical duel of the Snow Leopard (Middle), Assistant of Zhan Tian Jian? _1 Mr. Zhong, what reward did you receive? I got 1 World Prestige point! Before Snow Leopard could steady himself, Mr. Mengs excited voice came from beside him. Oh, I got a second-level blue skill book. Snow Leopard chuckled, turning to look at the others, What about you? What did you get? Mage [Justice in Mouth]: I got the [Advanced Intelligence Potion Form]. Priest [Steel Torrent March]: Hehe, I got a level 30 purple magic staff. I can use it in the next version! Mr. Li appeared a bit embarrassed: I received 100 spiritual energy coins. What?! All eyes swiftly turned to him. Just now, Snow Leopard did not ask his teammates whether they passed the first round. He asked directly for the rewards because he believed they could easily pass the first round. Now, with Mr. Lis 100 spiritual energy coins, it was clear he wasnt even able to pass the first round! Mr. Li, under the collective gaze of the surrounding people, could only retort, What do you guys know? I met [A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated]! Hes the only warrior among all yers, I could recognize him at a nce! A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated The surrounding people put their hands on their foreheads unanimously. Did Mr. Li have the worst luck? He had a one-in-a-million chance in the first round to meet such a strongly favored champion. Its the ultimate bad luck! Seeing this, teammates such as Snow Leopard and Mr. Meng wisely distanced themselves from Mr. Li, trying to avoid being contaminated by his misfortune. Observing his distant teammates, Mr. Li felt a sudden chill. I dont even know what the warrior professions skills are, how could I have defeated him? Hiding the profession is really annoying! Mr. Li gnashed his teeth. Alright, in a way, you had good luck too. Mr. Meng rubbed his chin and pondered: After all, none of us could meet A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated even if we wanted to, am I right? Yeah, yeah. The surrounding teammates chimed in. You, you Mr. Li was furious, wishing he could rush towards Mr. Meng and duel him. But considering Mr. Meng was a top-five ranked defense Knight in the game, boasting high defense and healing abilities, he decided not to embarrass himself. Mr. Li initiated a [Back Jump] + [Sliding Shovel], dashing out of the crowd. As he ran, he shouted: Im going back to the Elf Kingdom now. Bye everyone! Oh! Mr. Zhong, please tell Boss Ke for me that Princess Emily says she will wait for him forever! With that, Mr. Lis figure disappeared into the distance. Su Yu in front of the projector waspletely dumbfounded. He was just watching the situation, so why was he suddenly dragged into it? Looking at Su Yu, Morning Stars eyes held a warning, Who is Princess Emily? Isnt my Alyssa good enough for you that youre still looking for mistresses outside? At the same time, she swiped her sharp ws on Su Yus thigh, visibly threatening him. Uh, Emily is only a 144-year-old elf girl who is enamored with my body Lets watch the live broadcast first. Ill exin everything to you when we have time. Su Yu quickly changed the topic. Returning to the live broadcast. After the first illusion duel ended, arge number of yers started to leave the Goldfinchs central square and the crowd began to thin. After all, the duel had a 100:1 elimination rate. Even an elite archer like Mr. Li could fail, let alone the majority of the yers. Most yers could not do much but settle for a constion prize. However, at this moment, the number of viewers in Snow Leopards live stream room was exploding! Earlier, most yers were participating in the illusion duels. The ones free to watch the live stream, like Su Yu, were only a few hundred odd. Now that most yers were eliminated and wanted to watch the rest of the duels, Snow Leopards live broadcast was undoubtedly one of the best choices. So, within just a few minutes, the audience surged to hundreds of thousands, and thements section filled the entire screen. Snow Leopard was also aware of the drastic increase in the number of viewers in his room. But he showed no intention of interacting with these viewers. He kept discussing and sharing his experiences of the previous battles with his teammates, hoping to get further in the uing duels. Twenty minutester, Snow Leopard and his teammates stepped into the teleportation portal, entering into the second round of the duel map. Just as he teleported, while he was still oveing his dizziness, a clear childs voice rang out: Mommy, look! Its an idiot! In addition to the childs voice, there were also other voices: How can you be so impolite to your elders? Hurry, apologize to them eh, he really does look like an idiot. Never mind then. That guy looks so dumb! How did that idiot get here? Upon hearing this, Snow Leopard was left speechless. Looking around, he found that he was in a ce resembling a vegetable market, with small stalls selling various kinds of vegetables, along with fresh fish and beef. Because of his passive skill, all the NPC residents around him were looking at him like he was an idiot. The audience in the live broadcast could no longer contain theirughter: Hahaha, its so hard for you, Mr. Snow Leopard. Idiot hahaha! If any yer dared to say that to his face, they surely wouldnt want to y in this country anymore. I heard its an additional feature of the essory that Boss Ke gifted to Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard thought he had gotten a good deal, but he really suffered a loss! Is it true? Can Boss Ke really y like that? But everyone, pay attention, Snow Leopards map this time is a town, which is not favorable for the druid ss. It seems our leader has a tough fight ahead! In the game, Snow Leopard also got a clear view of his surroundings C indeed, it was a small town. Such a town environment indeed wasnt favorable for him as a druid. However, he didnt dwell on it and quickly scanned the surroundings. Although there were many NPCs around, Snow Leopard quickly identified two yer characters- One was a priest deep within the marketce. For some unknown reason, the priest was now squatting in front of a vegetable stall, picking up an unknown red vegetable and asking the stall owner, Boss, how much? The other was a female assassin on the street outside the market. She had already spotted Snow Leopard and was coldly eyeing him. With just a nce, Snow Leopard recognized the female assassin C she must be Zhan Tianjians assistant C Qingli. Since Su Yu often mentioned the Zhan Tian Guild, a middle-tier guild ranked just beyond the top 50, in their chats, Snow Leopard was wary of them. Therefore, he recognized Qingli at first sight. Without any hesitation, he transformed into his leopard form and charged towards Qingli with a [Pounce]. After all, this map was very suitable for Qingli, an assassin, to thrive in. It was better to get rid of her now rather than letting her be stronger. Qingli didnt know who was pouncing towards her, and thought it was some overconfident druid yer. So, she snorted coldly, drew her dagger, entered [Stealth] mode, and prepared to deal with this troublesome young leopard. Chapter 325: 325, Snow Leopard’s Illusion Duel (Final Part) A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated?!_1 When Qingli went into stealth, the Snow Leopard adeptly transformed into a bear form. A brown bear emerged in mid-air. [Horrifying Roar] Roar! A earth colored soundwave emanated from the bears mouth and spread out, detecting Qingli who was already hiding in stealth. But she remained unfazed. Swiftly using her [Shadow Step] skill she appeared behind the Snow Leopard, stabbing at the bears plump rear with a [Backstab]. But the Snow Leopard had already predicted Qinglis actions. After Qingli used her [Shadow Step], he immediately shifted back to his leopard form, easily dodging her [Backstab] with a small leap. Moreover, the direction of his leap was deftly aimed. He didnt jump forward, but took a sidestep. While dodging the [Backstab], he had perfectly ced himself beside Qingli.
