Chapter 134: 134, The first selection for the harem (Fog)_1

[Sunflower Seed (Special Item)]
Usage: Requires [Farmland]. Plant the seed in the [Farmland] 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 to completing Tina’s main storyline, he had another idea – to rope in [Crazy Dave] into his seraglio… spit spit, wrong, into his territory.
To the NPCs, [Crazy Dave] is an ordinary farmer, plain and insignificant.
But in Su Yu’s eyes, he’s a God Level NPC, unparalleled! Even the [Star-forged Dragon King] would have to make way for him.
In the late stage of the game, civilian players barely have any channels to obtain Experience Points. About 60% of Experience Points of civilian players are gained from the [Sunshine] produced by Sunflowers.
All civilian players 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 become the main gathering place for players in the late 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 for late-stage city operation.
Besides [Sunflower], the plants sold at [Crazy Dave]’s – [Walnut Wall], [Pea Shooter], [Cherry Bomb], etc. are also great city defense tools. They’re very useful against monster sieges, bandit invasions, and NPC lord attacks in the mid and late game.
So this time Su Yu goes out to complete 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 Dave’s value, it’ll be extremely difficult to make him join then.
About ten minutes later, Su Yu arrived at the east gate of Orleans City.
He doesn’t need to worry about the construction of the territory with Snow Leopard and Swift’s help.
According to Snow Leopard’s private message, the [Town Hall] has already begun planning 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]. He’ll stay in Orleans City and complete 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 hasn’t seen Tina for nearly a month in game time. If he doesn’t go now, Tina might blow her top off!
At that time, Tina’s triplet combo 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 the last campaign.
Among them is a petition post with over 10,000 replies from players.
In the petition, more than 3000 players 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 players even found lofty reasons: “Game resources belong to all players, we ordinary players 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 these comments, Su Yu was speechless; it seems there are quite a few LSPs among the players.
In addition to the first-person experience video, Su Yu’s territory construction also sparked a lot of discussion.
Many popular streamers in the game would follow the trend, and now they’ve run to Su Yu’s territory and started live streaming the territory construction scene.
Most player’s game journey is mostly about fighting monsters – fighting monsters – doing tasks – fighting monsters – fighting monsters, so they’d soon become bored of it.
Now seeing the novel city-building gameplay, they’ve 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],[Farmland] and other functional buildings can be built in large quantities, but only the first [Tavern] can draw cards, and only the first 10 [Farmlands] in a small village level can plant 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 village 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 Yu’s 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, don’t talk anymore, I’m going to log in now!”
“Ah, I’m only level 9 right now, I feel like I’ve 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, it’s insanely envious!”
Su Yu was also scrolling through netizens’ replies.
When he scrolled to this comment, he couldn’t help but pause.
What’s going on?
The views of the first-person experience video have already exceeded two million? It’s only been half a day, right? That’s impossible!
Thinking of this, Su Yu temporarily suspended his plans, exited the game, and logged in to the official website to check.
