Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

“Let me explain ” Milton wants to quibble.

Su Yu directly interrupts him, “the evidence is clear, I’m not interested in your explanation.”

He pulls a deep blue letter from his backpack, “This letter is about last March, when you embezzled the relief fund from Green Vine Village, totaling 300,000 spiritual energy coins.

On April 16, Baron Mark Cintis of Green Vine Village came to Orleans City with several farmers to claim the relief money. You not only refused to give it, but also imprisoned and tortured them to death. Am I correct in this?”

Milton remains silent.

Everyone knew about these matters, and the evidences were easy to find.

But due to his status, no one dares to accuse him, and the issue was swept under the rug.

However, he didn’t expect Su Yu to confront him directly.

Su Yu hovered in the sky, his gaze firmly on Milton below, “These two crimes are terrible, but considering you are the uncle of the city lord, if I hand you over to the city lord’s judgement, he will definitely not give you a severe punishment.”

Su Yu selected a white letter glowing faintly with arcane energy from a stack of letters:

“But the nature of this letter is entirely different! It bears the signature of Antondidas, a powerful figure of the Sanctuary of Lai Yin Empire.

It is a handwritten letter from you expressing a wish for Orleans City to become independent, and to break away from the control of the royal family. How do you explain this?”

“What? Damn it!” Seeing this letter, Milton was shocked to the core, his face instantly pale.

His secret correspondence with Antondidas was delivered through extremely clandestine channels, how could it get into the hands of the Ghost Party?

Moreover, he had sent this letter a long time ago, how could it appear here?

But it’s too late for regret now.

Su Yu put the letter back into his backpack, and announced solemnly, “With this letter, I can condemn you to death for treason on behalf of the Princess! Tina.”

“Understood!”

Tina, who had been filled with anger after hearing about Milton’s deeds, responded.

When she heard Su Yu call her name, she instantly transformed into a golden light and charged straight at Milton.

Milton was surprised and quickly took out his magic wand to cast a spell.

But his power was only at the fourth level, and he was no match for Tina, who had already reached the fifth level.

After a futile resistance, a golden glow exploded in front of Milton’s chest.

Milton’s heart was pierced, and he fell to Tina’s sword.

Milton’s large eyes stared at the sword hilt protruding from his chest until his last breath. He didn’t seem to comprehend how he, as the uncle to the city lord of Orleans City, could die so obscurely.

Tina had already withdrawn her sword, not giving Milton a second glance.

She heaved a soft sigh: “I hope the innocent souls killed by Milton can finally rest in peace!”

“Ding, [Orleans City Holy Maiden (18/100)] has been completed, reward rating in progress ”

“Your rating for this reward is ‘S’, with a reward of: 3000 Experience Points, Function Building Blueprint [Auction House].”

“It dropped!” Su Yu’s eyes lit up.

The main reason for him risking angering the city lord to kill Milton was to uphold justice.

Of course, while upholding justice, there was another reason – Su Yu wanted the blueprint for the [Auction House].

[Auction House] is a precious building blueprint, dropped by very few NPCs, and those that do have very high levels, one of them being Milton.

He didn’t expect to get it on the first try with Tina!

Outside of [Repair], [Auction House] is the most used feature by players during regular gameplay.

While repair shops can be found everywhere, auction houses are only located in the main city. It’s because of the auction houses that players gather in the main city.

Su Yu wanted to build his territory into the player’s main city, so the earlier he had the auction house building, the better.

He was delighted to get it on his first try!

Tina was somewhat worried.

After killing Milton, she turned to look back at Su Yu:

“Nemesis, by killing Milton we’ve rid the people of Orleans city of a scourge, but we’ve definitely offended Lord Claude, what do we do?”

“No worries!” Su Yu waved his hand nonchalantly, “Tina, have you forgotten who’s got your back?”

“The Guardian God.” Remembering this, Tina’s worries were greatly reduced.

Su Yu smiled, “With the Guardian God around, no one dares to touch you. Besides, the reason I said so much to Milton was to make you understand the crux of the problem.”

“The crux of the problem?”

“Didn’t you see it? The Empire has been in decline for a long time, and the imperial bureaucracy is riddled with corruption, rotten to the core. Killing Milton won’t change anything, because other officials are just as bad as he is, if not worse.

To truly revive the Goldfinch Empire, a bottom-up reform is necessary to completely eradicate the persistent problem.”

“A bottom-up reform?” Tina was confused.

This problem was clearly beyond her comprehension.

“Don’t worry, Tina.” Su Yu patted her on the shoulder, “I’ll worry about the reform. For now, you just need to keep increasing your strength.”

“Alright, I’ll do as you say.” Tina trusted Su Yu implicitly, so she did as he instructed.

After a brief cleanup at the scene, Su Yu and Tina rode their horses back to the Unicorn Camp.

During the ride back, Su Yu set up the next quest.

“[Orleans City Holy Maiden (19/100)].”

“Task Requirement: Complete the [Advanced Secret Realm Trial] with Tina.”

“Task Reward: Random rewards will be given based on the task completion level.”

Now that Tina had just broken through to the fifth level and her realm was not yet stable. The last time Su Yu and Tina had entered the [Advanced Secret Realm], located under the Unicorn trial ground, surely helped her stabilize her realm.

So, Su Yu set this task to help Tina build a solid foundation.

After returning to the camp, Tina used her authority as the head of the legion to open the [Advanced Secret Realm], and she and Su Yu entered it three times.

The [Advanced Secret Realm] has a different final boss each time it is opened.

Last time it was [Void Walker Kassadin], this time it was [Void Daughter Kasha], [Eye of the Void Vikz] and [Void Prophet Malzahar].

However, now that Tina was at the fifth level, clearing the instance was a piece of cake.

After going through the instance three times and absorbing a large amount of void energy, Tina’s fury gradually solidified and her realm finally stabilized.

.

Now that her realm was stable, the next step was, of course, to gain the recognition of the members of the Knight Order.

For the 20th sub quest, Su Yu met Fiona Windsor–heir to the former Legion commander Grace–at a watchtower in the camp.

“Fiona, I am here on behalf of Tina to challenge you to a duel,” Su Yu declared from the top of the watchtower.

Fiona Windsor is the successor of the former legion commander. Only when Tina defeats her will it prove that, at least in terms of military strength, Tina is capable of the commander’s role.

Moreover, Tina defeating Fiona publicly will surely gain her the respect of many.
