“Starting in 6 hours? That’s fine, the game time won’t affect the mission.” Su Yu sighed in relief.
He had only entered the game at 10:30 this morning.
Taking into account meal times and entertaining Xue Wenli for almost an hour, he could play until midnight seamlessly into the next day.
So he didn’t have to worry about failing the mission due to lack of game time.
Su Yu was walking along the main street in front of the Royal Palace, hand in hand with Dima.
“So what should I do for these six hours? Should I go to Orleans City to start Tina’s main storyline?” Su Yu rubbed his chin.
Dima seemed to have read Su Yu’s 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 Dima’s mane.
Hisss-
Dima sounded a cheerful whinny, she was excited.
Su Yu didn’t 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?”
“You’re reaching level 10 so soon?”
Su Yu opened up the level leaderboard.
Of course, he was still in first place, 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 accepted from Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard: “Greetings, senior Zhang Jiao!”
Su Yu: “You can call me Nemesis in the game. I won’t be going to the level 10 dungeon, I have other things to do.”
The equipment and rewards from the level 10 dungeon wouldn’t 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 didn’t 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 occurred 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 Wenli’s report.
He didn’t hide anything, and sent a few hundred words of private chat message, describing the process of “finding Skuru’s 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 Civilization completely wiped out the Skuru troops inside the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye…”
Snow Leopard also relayed the message sent by the Singer Civilization’s watchdog.
At the end of the private chat, he testified happily: “Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye is the largest 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 don’t be too happy too soon.”
Snow Leopard:
Su Yu: “Did you notice? Things have become a bit uneasy in the real world these days.”
Snow Leopard: “Yes, it is not peaceful. According to the statistics collected by relevant departments, traffic accidents have occurred frequently across the country in the last two days, especially today, which is at least three times higher compared 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: “It’s ghosts.”
Snow Leopard: “Ghosts?”
As a staunch materialist, Snow Leopard certainly doesn’t 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 don’t 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 accidents 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? That’s at least several months away! We can’t wait that long… But speaking of revived abilities, we’ve 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 Dima’s 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 didn’t 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 a large scale, they still need to rely on the “Ghost Searching Ruler”, which is the true ghost-killing weapon.
Initially, Su Yu planned to do it himself, assisting the relevant departments to manufacture the “Ghost Searching Ruler”.
But since they have contacted Mr. Zhu, he’ll 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, don’t 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, I’m currently secluding myself in a secret place near Chang’an. Ordinary people can’t find me here, and I don’t feel like going out… I’ll contact you if something comes up!”
Snow Leopard: “Alright, I’ll take care of it after logging out.. Goodbye, senior!”
