BXBX NOVEL Chapter 340: 340, Departure after one week_1
The helmet Su Yu was wearing was no longer the one made from 30,000 Flower Coins, but was a custom-made enhanced version, designed by the authorities using 30 units of spiritual energy from the Singer Civilization Game Supervisor.
Using this enhanced version of the helmet allowed better energy transfer tasks while advancing to the Sanctuary.
In the real world, Su Yu also effortlessly broke through the sixth-rank bottleneck.
The Spiritual Spring Eye on Lingwu Mountain surged violently, and splendid multicolored rays incessantly gushed out of the spring mouth.
Accompanied by the dazzling colors, Su Yu leapt from the bottom of the Spring Eye and landed on solid ground nearby.
Feeling the explosive power within him, he felt invigorated!
“Su Yu, congratulations on your successful breakthrough!” Zhu Guorui stroked his beard and grinned at Su Yu.
Prime Minister Cao Cao also came forward and patted Su Yu on the shoulder with delight, “Only three months, Su Yu, and you’ve already reached a stage comparable to a Dividing Spirit Stage cultivator. Even in the Spirited Energy abundant period of the Confer Gods, I doubt there was anyone like you!”
In the eyes of Zhu Guorui and Prime Minister Cao Cao, there was a hint of envy.
Su Yu, a new generation human, had surpassed these old-timers of the previous era with the massive resources at his disposal.
Su Yu was about to respond with a smile.
But, at that moment, a deep blue figure came dashing at him at an invisible speed, grabbing his arms. It was Morning Star.
“Nemesis, Nemesis! Take me home now, I want salmon!” Morning Star shook Su Yu’s arm violently, her big eyes filled with anticipation.
“Alright, alright, we’re going back right away.” Su Yu rubbed her feline head and tucked her into the pet space.
He then bowed to Prime Minister Cao Cao and Zhu GuoRui, “Thank you both for your kindness! My progress is entirely due to the power of the people—if it weren’t for all the players working hard to collect monster materials for me, I would have only reached the third or fourth rank at most.”
“You’re being too modest, Su Yu.” Commissioner Zhang smiled, “Your accomplishments are clear for all to see. Without your ability to foresee the future, we might still be unaware of the manifestation of game abilities in reality, not to mention reclaiming the Spring Eye.”
Su Yu shook his head, “It’s not modesty. The power of people is most important, it was in the past, it is in the present, and it will be in the future. You should keep this in your mind all the time.”
Commissioner Zhang looked enlightened. Su Yu turned to Prime Minister Cao Cao and Zhu GuoRui, “When are you two planning to restore the Dividing Spirit Stage?”
Cao ChengXiang considered for a moment and responded, “Within a week at most; three to four days at the earliest, six to seven days at the longest.”
Zhu Guorui also nodded, “My situation is about the same. Though I have already touched the threshold of the Dividing Spirit Stage, I should be able to recover my boundary within a week.”
“Alright, then we’ll leave in a week!” Su Yu mentally noted. It seemed he needed to prepare well in the next week.
Su Yu turned to Commissioner Zhang, “As for reaching out to the Skuru Game Supervisor, I’ll leave that to you.”
“No problem, leave it to me.” Commissioner Zhang smiled in response.
After chatting with Prime Minister Cao Cao and others for a little more, Su Yu brought his gaming helmet to a small office next to the spiritual energy collection factory.
This small office had power supplies deployed by the state.
Su Yu connected the helmet to the power supply and then calmly entered the game.
After entering the game, Su Yu appeared on the third floor of the Mage Tower.
Before he could make a move, Morning Star jumped out of the pet space and started scratching his sleeve, demanding, “Where’s the fish? Where’s it?”
“It’s coming.” Su Yu was a bit annoyed. He took a giant droplet out of his bag.
Without uttering a word, Morning Star grabbed the water droplet and disappeared toward the city hall in the town center, creating a blue streak in the sky as she flew away from the Mage Tower.
Morning Star, now being picky, didn’t eat raw fish anymore, since there was one epic level chef in Su Yu’s territory. She probably brought the fish for that chef to prepare.
Su Yu shook his head slightly and ignored Morning Star. He took out the [Incarnation of Thunderbolt] skill scroll gifted by Thor and started learning it.
After successfully learning…
Crack…
A lightning bolt split the sky over his territory. Su Yu transformed into a lightning bolt and instantly appeared on the teleportation array in the city center, startling the players and NPCs around him.
After experiencing the speed of the Incarnation of Thunderbolt, Su Yu nodded contentedly, “This spell is not bad!”
Su Yu’s flying speed was now 186 kilometers per hour. After using [Incarnation of Thunderbolt], his speed reached over 1700 kilometers per hour, almost equivalent to three-quarters of the speed of sound!
The only downside was the high blue consumption of this skill. Traveling from the Mage Tower to the Central Magic Array in the city just 13 kilometers away consumed 1.2% of his mana. It seemed that this skill should be used at critical moments in the future.
After experimenting with the new skill, he used the Teleportation Array to teleport to Goldfinch City to meet Alyssa.
In the next week of game time, Alyssa threw a grand celebration for Su Yu to mark his successful breakthrough into the Sanctuary.
Noble families from all around the country came to the event to congratulate Su Yu.
Su Yu had a good reputation among citizens. The streets of Goldfinch City were flooded with residents participating in spontaneous carnival parades, all joining the grand procession.
Throughout the celebration, many hidden tasks were randomly created in the game. Many players were unexpectedly rewarded with fantastic prizes upon completing these tasks.
As news spread, a large number of players flocked in, rendering Goldfinch City especially lively.
The entire celebration lasted for nearly a week in game time.
During the day, Su Yu participated in various festivities, accepting flatteries from the Goldfinch nobility. At night, he went to Silver Pine Spire to study spells in the large library of Silver Pine Spire.
There are two ways to learn high-ranking spells in “Evolution.” The first is to complete tasks and kill wild monsters to receive skill books. The second is to read books and comprehend spells on your own.
Earning skill books through tasks is relatively quick and convenient. Once you get a skill book, you can master it in an instant.
But the drawback is that the higher-ranking the skill books are, the rarer they are. Often, you need to complete over 30 highly difficult tasks to get a skill book of fifth or sixth rank, and wild monsters provide them at scary low drop-rates.
Furthermore, it is annoying that players do not know what a hidden quest’s final reward is when triggering a hidden task. It could be equipment, potions, pet eggs, or even an unwanted skill book.
For instance, Su Yu currently wore an ice mage’s equipment with ice attribute bonuses. If he completed dozens of hidden tasks only to find out the final reward is a skill book of the earth attribute, it would be quite irritating.
