Su Yu’s strength was increasing too quickly, which might result in a shaky foundation and could affect his progression in the late stages.
Su Yu had contemplated 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, what’s 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 plan 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 plan to contact the Skru Game Supervisor after reaching the sixth level. He wanted the supervisor to use the interstellar portal to transport him to Skru Star.
Out of trust, he had told Zhong Feng about this plan not long ago, but he didn’t 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 plan.”
“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 Minister’s eyes were very serious. He was not joking.
This made Su Yu a bit reluctant: “Well ”
“What, are you unwilling?”
“No, it’s not that I don’t want you to. But if you go, you could be easily exposed,” Su Yu explained patiently: “I could use the [Mimicry Skill] to disguise myself as a Skru and I can also speak their language. If you go without a disguise, you might be identified within minutes.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Prime Minister Cao Cao confidently chuckled: “Both Mr. Zhu and I have some methods of disguise. You don’t need to fret.”
Then, Prime Minister Cao Cao transformed. His figure vanished from the original spot. In its place 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: ” ”

The strong-willed Boss Cao actually managed to turn into a cute little fox, the contrast was so huge that he could not accept it.
Su Yu crouched down, trying to communicate with the little fox: “I understand what you are saying. You’re shouting ‘The Great Chu rise, King Chen Sheng’, right?”
Little Fox (Prime Minister Cao Cao): ” ”

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 uncontrollably towards the fox’s ears.
Prime Minister Cao Cao noticed Su Yu’s movements and quickly retreated a few steps.
Then he transformed back into his human form, suspiciously looking at Su Yu: “You’re not a fan of Orcs, are you?”
“Haha, definitely not, how could that be?” Su Yu promptly pulled back his arm, using a forced laughter to cover up his awkwardness.
After an awkward laugh, 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, we’ll 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 recommend 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 that’s 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 plan 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, let’s head to Skru Star together in two months!” said Su Yu.
“However, I have to emphasize again, even for level six fighters, there’s only a maximum survival rate of 70%. You need to be prepared for the sacrifice.”
“Don’t worry about that.” There was a touch of indifference in Prime Minister Cao Cao’s eyes: “We, who have been alive for thousands of years, have long since lived enough. We won’t regret it even if we die there.”
“If that’s 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 place.
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 world’s 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 wasn’t 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 hadn’t 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 Yu’s territory as a reference, Snow Leopard’s territory construction went smoothly. Its overall construction progress was comparable to that of Su Yu’s. The prosperity and livability always stayed above 90.
Unfortunately, they did not have the [Yulon Statue] in their territory. Also, they couldn’t 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 city’s scale.
While there was peace in the game, there was peace in the forum too.
Now, what the players loved to do the most was occasionally check the level leaderboard to see what Su Yu’s level was.
If Su Yu’s level was higher than what they had expected, they would exclaim “Boss Ke is awesome”, but if Su Yu did not level up as expected, they would ponder “Is Boss Ke slacking off? Even a work donkey wouldn’t rest like this.”
All in all, Su Yu’s level had become the most watched thing in the game.
