[Sunflower Seeds] were very popular in the previous world.
Once a player becomes a noble and owns a [Village] -level territory, there will be 10 [Farms] in the village, and the number of farms will also increase as the territory levels up.
By planting large quantities of [Sunflower Seeds] in the farms and maturing them, each [Sunflower] can produce a substantial amount of [Sunshine].
Players can absorb this [Sunshine] to gain a great deal of Experience Points.
Especially in the game’s later stages when there are nearly no ways to gain experience, these [Sunshine] almost account for over 60% of the Experience Points obtained by the common players!
However, acquiring a [Village]-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 players at level 50 or 60 haven’t even gotten a single point, they can only rent the [Farms] from territory-holding players.
Moreover, the ultimate building in the territory [Mage Tower] (called [Flesh Refinement Field] for warrior class and [Hidden Sanctuary] for assassin class, their functionalities are roughly similar) can only be built when the territory reaches the [City] level or when the player’s 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 Dave’s corpse in the Devil’s 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, it’s normal not to be rewarded “World Prestige”.
However, at this point, it seemed like Tina suddenly recalled something. Her face turned slightly red, “Nemesis, let’s return to Orleans City! You’re welcome to visit my home!”
Tina didn’t 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:
“I’m sorry, Tina, I might not be able to accompany 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.
She’d 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 Tina’s favorability decrease?
So Su Yu hurriedly tried to make amends, “Tina, hear me out! Here’s what happened: a week ago, I went to the Imperial Capital to meet the princess with the mayor’s letter…”
Su Yu relayed the entire process of his journey to meet Keerderon in Goldfinch City, participate in the senior scholar examination, meet the princess, escape from the 7th rank dark priest, [Xi Fan].
Unlike the female leads in TV dramas that would say, “I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it”, Tina listened to his entire explanation patiently and obediently.
Tina had no idea, Su Yu had such a thrilling experience before coming to Orleans City!
And he’s a “Senior Scholar” too!
As a country girl, Tina knew how high the status of a “Senior Scholar” was, she just hadn’t seen a [Senior Scholar Badge].
Now she knows, that crystal-clear badge that Su Yu had always been wearing on his chest was the Senior Scholar Badge! Moreover, he was invited by the great Princess to attend a meeting, so he couldn’t accompany 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, I’ve been staying at home. I’ll wait for you to come back at home!” Tina’s face was filled with joy.
“Ding! [Tina Garcia]’s favorability towards you increased by 6 points, favorability has been raised to ‘Notice’.”
“Alright then, I’ll send you home first, then I’ll set off for the Imperial Capital.”
Su Yu reached for Tina’s 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 Scholar 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 Scholar”, 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 hour later, at Goldfinch City.
Su Yu, riding on Dima, rushed towards the Royal Palace.
En route, he also reflected on himself:
“I joined the game to level up, not to play a galgame, this favorability level is rising a bit too rapidly.”
Su Yu glanced 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 Alyssa’s favorability would rise this quickly, if it reaches ‘Friendly’, at least I could become a Count.”
While musing wildly, Su Yu continued his journey.
In the meantime, he also checked his private messages.
Zhan Tianjian, Red-Eyed Black 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 Black Dragon is considered a vice-leader) on receiving the response, all looked speechless.
Could you perhaps come up with a fresher excuse?
Both the last time and the time before it was “high-level NPC buff”, again this time?
Do you think we are easy to fool?
