Chapter 88: 88. Testing strength in reality, Su Yu’s suggestion_l
Translator: 549690339
By the time Su Yu woke up at eight in the morning, the video had already surpassed 5,000 views.
That’s over two thousand dollars in income from the video overnight!
Of course, the number 5000 is not that large, compared to the millions of views on video portal websites.
But given that the player count is still pretty low, with about one hundred thousand daily users, 5000 people watching his video overnight is already impressive.
Su Yu is laying on his bed, browsing the official forum on his phone.
Some of the players in the forum are professionals in the field of history.
Based on their professional knowledge, they conducted an in-depth analysis of the video posted by Su Yu, that was highly insightful.
From their analysis, Su Yu gained much inspiration for future tasks.
Soon, the take-out food he ordered arrived, Su Yu planned to game after finishing his meal.
But then he received a phone call.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Su Yu, this is Xue Wenli.”
“Oh it’s you, what’s up?
“I have a very important matter that requires your presence at our base.”
“Oh?”
40 minutes later.
Su Yu appears in front of a building in the center of East Sea City. “You guys actually bought this place as a base? That’s some money!”
Yu Su is looking at the 200-meter-high office building in front of him.
The location of their building is one of the best in East Sea City. The building itself may easily cost billions!
Today, Xue Wenli was dressed in business attire, her expression was calm: “That’s nothing, the Country is investing heavily in ‘Evolution’, just the scraps of their resources are enough to buy this building.”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. We didn’t spend taxpayers’ money without reason, we have other intentions.”
“Other intentions?”
“Sorry, you don’t have the right to know yet.”
Xue Wenli leads Su Yu into the building.
In the elevator, Xue Wenli presses the button for the 15th floor and then begins to elaborate on the purpose of inviting him:
“The reason why we’ve asked you here is to measure your actual spell damage.”
“By testing your spell damage and game level, we can deduce how much power players at level 50 can bring into the real world, this is very important to us.”
Su Yu spread his hands: “But didn’t I say that yesterday? The damage caused by a zero-stage magician in the game and in reality are basically the same, any game video you pick can let you analyze it.”
Xue Wenli responded: “We have built the model according to your words, but the specific data is also indispensable. Without specific data, the higher ups are always uneasy.”
“Alright, I understand. It’s good to be thorough.” Su Yu nodded.
Xue Wenli continued to explain: “This test benefits you as well, after the test the department will give you a unit of spiritual energy, which comes from the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain, it’s very precious.”
“What is the ‘Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain’?” Su Yu asks with a confused expression.
“That’s a long story… I’ll explain it to you later.”
Now the elevator has reached the 15th floor, Xue Wenli leads Su Yu out of the elevator.
The 15th floor is obviously still under renovation.
Looking around, Su Yu can see various miscellaneous items piled up along the corridor.
Some scientists, dressed in white lab coats, are shuttling back and forth. All of them have a look of concentration and haste on their faces.
When these ‘white coats’ saw Xue Wenli, they nodded to her and then hurriedly walked away.
Xue Wenli takes Su Yu to the deepest part of the floor.
Soon, they arrived at their destination—an enclosed room at the very inside of the 15th floor.
The room was about 50 square meters, and windowless.
A person, clad in a white lab coat, sat in the room, and a circular iron disc about 1 meter in diameter was installed on the wall behind him.
The disc was coiled with multiple wires at the back, probably related to a magnetic field instrument.
“Wen Li, you’re here!” The older man waved at Xue Wenli when he saw her. Xue Wenli also saluted the old man: “Professor Shen, this is Su Yu who I mentioned to you.”
“Oh, is this Su Yu?” Professor Shen looked Su Yu up and down as if he were a precious treasure.
“Young man, let me ask you a few questions first.” Professor Shen’s tone was very enthusiastic.
“Sure.” Su Yu nodded.
“After the actualization of your game power, did your body undergo any abnormal changes?”
“Not at all?”
“Not so far.’
“Well then, let me ask the next question…”
Professor Shen asked Su Yu a dozen questions, and Su Yu answered them all one by one.
Xue Wenli stood by, quietly listening without interrupting.
At the end of the Q&A, Professor Shen pointed to the iron plate in front of him: “Young man, use your most powerful attack spell to strike it, we need to collect the real data of your spell power.”
“Okay.”
Su Yu silently calculated in his mind.
He was now at level 18, and his spell strength was 58 points after removing all his equipment;
he had reported to Xue Wenli that he was a level 7 wizard, and his spell strength was 20 points without wearing any equipment.
Plus, his [Lightning Bolt] spell was three times stronger than an ordinary wizard’s, considering increased damage from the level gap between level 18 and level 7…
After calculating, Su Yu found that if he controlled his spell power to about one-twentieth, he could perfectly imitate the power of a level 7 wizard.
With this thought, Su Yu deliberately controlled his spell power to about one-twentieth.
After casting for 1.5 seconds, a thumb-thick electric arc was released from his hand and struck the iron plate in front of him.
The electricity was quickly absorbed by the iron plate after hitting it, leaving only a shallow black mark on the surface.
Meanwhile, the computer in the testing room started to calculate, and before long, Su Yu’s spell power data appeared on the screen—1456.76.
It was unclear how the computer came up with this value.
Seeing Su Yu releasing the lightning, Professor Shen was surprised.
After all, it was not like watching a superhero movie in real life. Seeing someone demonstrate superpowers in real life was a big shock for him.
Turning to see the specific data on the computer, he turned from shock to delight: “Wen Li, the spell power of this brother Su Yu is exactly the same as the model we made! His power is basically the same as a level 7 wizard in the game without any equipment!”
“That’s great!” Xue Wenli’s eyebrows relaxed: “In this way, we can let go of our worries and go all-out in promoting the game.”
“Um, can I make a few suggestions?” Su Yu suddenly interrupted.
“What suggestions?”
Xue Wenli turned to look at him.
“My suggestions are… First, don’t tell the public that the game power can be actualized;
“Secondly, maximize the production capacity of the game helmets as much as possible. Before the public learns that the game power can be actualized, you must produce enough helmets for everyone.”
Su Yu’s suggestions were not made haphazardly, but based on his painful experiences from the past.
In his previous life, the news that “the game power can be actualized” was widely spread among the public by the end of the fifth month at the start of the great catastrophe.
But at that time, there were only about five million helmets in the whole country, which was not enough to cover the entire population.
Consequently, the price of the helmets once skyrocketed to millions. The dark side of human nature was maximized as crimes against helmet owners, including murders, were rampant and society was in extreme turmoil.
After all, everyone wanted to have strength before the aliens arrived, even if they had to commit crimes and take risks to get a helmet.”
If the authorities were to leak the news about the actualization of power now, such a tragic event would happen again.
That’s why Su Yu made these suggestions.
Xue Wenli thought for a moment and then nodded: “Uh huh, I will convey your suggestions to Zhong Feng..”
