Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

When he was still a little confused from just having woken up, he suddenly felt a strange sensation on his right arm.

He lifted the covers to find that Morning Star had somehow burrowed into his bed and was now snuggling against his arm, fast asleep.

Unsure if she had mistaken his arm for a giant dried fish, Morning Star was not only clinging on tightly but also occasionally drooling on his arm.

With a roll of his eyes, Su Yu took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped off her drool disdainfully.

Then he summoned the power of the diamond rune to recall Morning Star back into the pet space where she could continue her sleep.

Having done all this, Su Yu got out of bed to wash up and then went out for breakfast.

In fact, after reaching the fourth stage, he no longer needed to eat or sleep. A brief meditation could replenish his energy and his magic power was enough to maintain his physiological functions.

However, he always felt something was missing if he didn’t eat. If he didn’t eat for a day, he wouldn’t feel hungry, but he would feel uncomfortable all over.

So Su Yu continued his habit, going downstairs to the breakfast shop every morning.

A bowl of tofu pudding and 3 yuan dough sticks.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Yu planned to return home and continue playing online games.

However, when he approached the apartment building, he saw a kind, elderly man looking at him amicably.

This “old man” was Zhu Guorui.

Seeing Su Yu, he greeted warmly, “Good morning, Su Yu! I need to talk with you about something.”

“Sure, what is it?” Su Yu replied respectfully.

“Let’s talk inside.” Zhu Guorui gestured for Su Yu to follow and took the lead towards the building.

Su Yu followed him into his home on the first floor.

After entering, Su Yu found himself in a vast space.

After Zhu Guorui moved into this apartment building, he knocked down all the interior walls, floors, even the load-bearing walls, shear walls, and columns of the first three floors, creating a huge space.

Of course, to prevent the building from collapsing, he used a special magic array to secure it, making it even sturdier than before.

Because there were no walls or floors, the whole area was much more spacious than before.

Zhu Guorui had also thoroughly remodeled the area, giving it an ancient appeal. It was hardly recognizable from its original state.

“Su Yu, please sit.” Zhu Guorui pointed to a mahogany bench in the most conspicuous position in the living room.

Su Yu didn’t stand on ceremony, he just sat directly on the bench and accepted a cup of clear tea offered by a servant, feeling as if he had stepped into a scene of a wuxia drama.

“What is it that you need to discuss with me?” Su Yu asked.

At the same time, he was a little emotional.

Prime Minister Cao lived on the top floor and had made similar renovations to the top three floors, knocking down all interior walls, floors, and columns besides the exterior walls.

But the decorations in Prime Minister Cao’s house had a “futuristic” style, like robots, electronic dogs, large 3D projection devices that covered an entire wall… all the cutting-edge technology of this era was available there, forming a stark contrast with Mr. Zhu’s place.

It seemed that there was a significant difference in personalities among these powerful beings from ancient times.

Zhu Guorui paused before slowly responding, “The government had a meeting last night about the kitten you brought out. The government has already taken action, and the ‘relevant department’ has received orders to try to bring NPCs from the game into reality. They can each be revived 10 times, which would be very helpful in our fight against the Skuru.”

Su Yu nodded. This was within his expectations.

“The other thing is, Prime Minister Cao and I are both quite worried about you.”

“Worried about me?” Su Yu was somewhat puzzled. Why would these two suddenly start worrying about him?

Zhu Guorui explained with a smile, “What we are concerned about is the plan for you to secretly infiltrate Skru Star in a month. We fear it could end up being a one-way trip for you.”

Before Su Yu could respond, he continued, “After all, Prime Minister Cao and I have both ruled this country, and we both accumulated plenty of resources by using our positions. We have quite a few ways to protect ourselves, and our strength is top-notch among practitioners of the same stage. But what about you?”

Zhu Guorui looked at Su Yu and shook his head, “Your advancement speed is too fast, and you are far from mastering the power level of your present stage. Also, the equipment you brought from the game won’t do much to help. You probably don’t have many means to protect yourself… So Prime Minister Cao and I are both concerned that if you go to Skru Star, you may never return.”

Hearing Zhu Guorui’s words, Su Yu’s mouth twitched comically.

Just a while ago, he was worried that these two old guys might die on Skru Star. He didn’t anticipate that they would actually start worrying about him first!

However, Zhu Guorui’s words did provide some insight for Su Yu. He decided to enhance his power as much as possible during the next while, in addition to his regular training.

Su Yu nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll be mindful of this. And I have the ability to prophesy, which can help me effectively avoid many risks.”

“It’s your life, you should take care.” Zhu Guorui emphasized.

“Don’t worry.” Su Yu said with a smile, changing the subject, “But speaking of this trip to Skru Star, why do you and Prime Minister Cao want to go there?”

This was a question Su Yu had wanted to ask for a long time, but never had the chance to bring up.

Su Yu planned to go to Skru Star to make contact with the Skru anti-government organization, and build a bridge for communication between the rebels and humanity.

While it made sense for Zhu Guorui to go, Prime Minister Cao was a different story… if one were to describe him politely, he would be called an “individualist”; bluntly, he was “selfish.” He didn’t seem like the type who would willingly sacrifice himself.

“About that question…” Zhu Guorui stroked his beard, falling into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly said, “The most important reason is a shortage of spiritual energy.”

“Shortage of spiritual energy?”

“Yes.” Zhu Guorui explained, “Even though you secured two Spiritual Spring Eyes for humans, the spiritual energy they provide is far from enough.”

“All the ancient powerhouses are eyeing the spiritual energy in these two Spiritual Spring Eyes, trying their best to get a little more. Plus, the manufacture of the Ghost Searching Ruler consumes a large amount of spiritual energy. So what ends up in my and Prime Minister Cao’s hands is very little.”

Su Yu nodded, “So…your plan is to go to Skru Star to collect spiritual energy?”

“Yes.” Zhu Guorui confirmed, “Skru Star originally had a lot of spiritual energy, and they also stole a lot from us, Blue Star.”

“Let’s take this opportunity while they still don’t know we’re coming. If we win, we can replenish our powers quickly, and even reach higher levels before the great war. If we lose… well, we lose. We’ll just be like Chen Youliang or Zhang Shicheng, whose tales are just a bit shorter in history.”

“I understand.” Su Yu sighed softly.
