Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Xi Fan’s attempt to control the princess and seize imperial power wasn’t due to boredom, nor was it for the sake of an inconsequential pursuit of power.

Everything Xi Fan did was aimed at one goal—advancing to the eighth tier, to become the most formidable power under the world’s rules.

Xi Fan had been planning this advancement for nearly a century.

During this century, he scoured the world’s largest hidden realms and even the abyss for treasures that could help him break through his limitations.

In the Empire, besides [Shalan] who had just advanced to the seventh tier, the other three seventh-tier powerhouses (Roland, Andrew, Charles Forsythia) also maintained close contact with him.

Three years ago, Xi Fan finally gathered all the necessary treasures, confident he could advance to the next tier!

However, these treasures all required a unique crystal called a [Frenzy Fragment] to activate their full power.

[Frenzy Fragments] needed to be obtained from a large number of common citizens. Roughly one fragment could be obtained via a special ceremony performed on 100 people, yet Xi Fan would need at least 3000 fragments to activate all the treasures.

This meant that he required 300,000 citizens to participate in the ceremony in order to collect enough fragments.

[Frenzy Fragments] couldn’t be stored; they would dissipate automatically after about a week, and Xi Fan couldn’t accumulate them over a long period of time.

Therefore, he came up with this plan:

Xi Fan would contact the three seventh-tier powerhouses to seize imperial power, gather citizens of Forest City to participate in the ceremony using this power, thereby collecting enough [Frenzy Fragments].

All three seventh-tier powerhouses supported Xi Fan’s plan.

If Xi Fan could successfully advance, the threat posed by the Northern Rebel Army would be effortlessly neutralized. They could also gain quite a few benefits from this, which aligns with their interests.

However, Kevin Forsythia, the guardian, adamantly opposed Xi Fan’s advancement.

Kevin Forsythia believed that a considerable number of citizens would die during Xi Fan’s advancing process, which was not beneficial to the empire’s overall interests. Moreover, the most critical point being, Kevin’s position would be threatened after Xi Fan’s advancement.

Therefore, Kevin Forsythia repeatedly threatened Xi Fan, sternly forbidding him from advancing.

Faced with the immense pressure from Kevin Forsythia, on the surface, Xi Fan could only comply, secretly collecting the treasures necessary for advancement instead.

This caused what originally could have been a decade-long collection of treasures to drag on for nearly a century.

In the past, Xi Fan outwardly expressed respect for Kevin Forsythia, but internally, he harbored immense hatred for him.

The opportunity has finally arrived!

Kevin Forsythia’s true body is trapped in the [Shining New World] and can’t come out. For Xi Fan, this is the best time to advance, and he must seize this period to achieve breakthrough!

As a result, a series of events in Forest City occurred.

Within the emperor’s palace.

Leaders of all major forces follow Xi Fan’s command, gathering civilians;

Xi Fan stands by the side of the emperor engulfed in black fog, using [mental theft] to read his memories;

Su Yu seriously pondered the cause and effect of the events, gaining a better grasp of the main plot that followed.

After reading the memories, Xi Fan stood still, lost in thought for a while.

Then, he walked towards Su Yu, looking at him with interest: “So, Nemesis, what did old Kevin Forsythia say?”

Su Yu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and replied, “The Guardian didn’t respond to me at all.”

Su Yu didn’t lie; he had no way of communicating with the Guardian directly, so of course, the Guardian wouldn’t respond to him.

“Hmph! I truly wish the old bastard would die in the New World.” Xi Fan flicked his sleeve, transforming into black mist, preparing to leave the royal palace.

But Su Yu stopped him: “Wait a minute, Xi Fan! I’ve delivered so many messages for you, aren’t you going to reward me a little? You’re not treating me as free labor, are you?”

Hearing Su Yu’s words, the black mist morphed back into human form.

Xi Fan looked at Su Yu with slight astonishment. Did this kid dare to ask for a favor from him?

Everyone in the great hall, including the seventh-tier powerhouse [Shalan], looked at Su Yu in surprise.

At this crucial juncture, instead of showing allegiance to Xi Fan humbly, why did Su Yu have the audacity to speak up so loudly?

Xi Fan thought for a moment, then pulled out a flask of blue potion, glowing with gold, and tossed it to Su Yu.

“Ding, [Glory of Forsythia Empire (30/100)] has been completed, congratulations on gaining Experience Points x20000.”

“Congratulations on receiving an additional reward: [High-level Blue Wisdom Potion (Golden Rare)] x1.”

[High-level Blue Wisdom Potion (Golden Rare)]: Increases your intelligence by 200 points for 60 seconds. Potion Cooldown time 5 minutes.

The potion is of quite a good quality, it can be taken back to reality, providing a decent boost in performance.

But Su Yu sneered dismissively: “As a peak seventh-tier legend powerhouse, is this it? Aren’t you a bit stingy?”

“Stingy?!”

Shalan and the remaining leaders of major forces all looked at Su Yu as if he was a fool. Was this kid seeking death?

Okay, adventurers from different worlds weren’t afraid to die; they would resurrect 6 hours after death.

But Xi Fan was a peak seventh-tier powerhouse. Wasn’t Su Yu afraid that Xi Fan would permanently detain his soul?

Xi Fan’s face darkened. He formed a large hand from the black mist, intending to squash the worm in front of him.

However, Su Yu continued calmly: “Xi Fan, there are actually areas where we can cooperate. You need [Frenzy Fragments], right? I have a way to provide a large number of [Frenzy Fragments].”

Upon hearing the term “[Frenzy Fragments]”, the large hand made of black mist froze beside Su Yu.

In the face of “advancement”, Su Yu’s minor offense didn’t seem as important.

“What’s your suggestion?” Xi Fan asked brusquely.

Su Yu, hands clasped behind his back, responded calmly, “The biggest difficulty in collecting [Frenzy Fragments] is the unwillingness of the city’s populace. The further you go, the harder it becomes to collect them, right?”

Xi Fan needed to set up a Shadow Frenzy Array and initiate a [Frenzy Ceremony] to collect [Frenzy Fragments]. Civilians entering the magic circle would attack and bite each other like crazed animals until all nearby people were killed.

One [Frenzy Ceremony] could accommodate up to 10,000 civilians.

After the ceremony, half of the civilians would die, a quarter would be critically injured, and the remainder, even if they were lucky enough to survive, would inevitably suffer lifelong mental trauma.

At first, the civilians didn’t realize how terrifying the ceremony could be, so the first few [Frenzy Ceremonies] would go smoothly.

But civilians were not fools.

They realized that those who went to participate in the ceremony never returned and their numbers gradually decreased. They began to instinctively resist and escape, which slowed down the speed of fragment collection.

“So what? Do you have a way?” Xi Fan gave Su Yu a cold look.

“Definitely.” Su Yu replied: “With my influence, I can summon a million adventurers from different worlds to help you collect fragments, what do you think?”
