Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Tina whispered, “Lord Lai Yin, actually…”

At that moment, Su Yu tugged at Tina’s sleeve, hinting her to stop.

Once Tina understood and closed her mouth, Su Yu let out a sigh, feigning guilt:

“You’re right, Lai Yin. I feel this operation was mishandled and the value of the spoils is far from what we estimated.”

Seeing Su Yu’s expression, Lord Lai Yin took a deep breath, “Say it, what was the total you seized this time?”

Not only Lai Yin, all eyes in the hall were fixed on Su Yu.

Alyssa knew Su Yu was toying with them, she didn’t bother to expose him. Instead, she took her seat on the throne, observing her ministers with interest.

“Alas!” Su Yu sighed again, dropped his head, and waved three fingers in front of everyone, “Around this much.”

“3 billion?” Lai Yin knitted his brows.

The goal set by the princess for Nemesis was 30 billion, since Nemesis hadn’t met the target, stretching out 3 fingers probably meant 3 billion.

“Your Excellency Nemesis, you’ve really messed up this time. 3 billion is really too less…” Lai Yin was genuinely distressed.

“Wait, I never said it was 3 billion,” Su Yu interrupted him.

“It can’t be 300 million, can it?!” After speaking this sentence, Lai Yin’s blood pressure shot up.

300 million wouldn’t even cover the military expenditures!

And at this critical moment when the two great empires, Lai and Wind Chime, were about to knock on their door, they had offended the small nations around them without gaining any benefits, would the current resurgence of Goldfinch be interrupted because of this?

The ministers also looked at Su Yu with disappointment.

They used to think that Nemesis was very competent, his prophetic abilities were extraordinary, so they supported the decision for the princess to marry this unknown adventurer from another world.

Who would have thought that Nemesis would make such a mess, could his prophetic abilities have failed?

Seeing the expressions of the ministers, Su Yu decided not to tease them any more.

So, Su Yu smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not 3 billion, nor 300 million…”

“Is it 30 million?!” Lai Yin clutched his chest, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable sensation there.

“Of course, it’s not 30 million,” Su Yu reluctantly said, “It’s 300 billion! To be precise, it’s 336.7 billion, 11 times the projected target!”

Following Su Yu’s words, the entire hall fell silent.

All the ministers were dumbfounded looking at Su Yu, several minister’s documents fell to the ground and were not picked up for a long time.

The hall was filled with an eerie silence, you could almost hear the sound of a pin drop.

336.7 billion!

How did Nemesis and Marshal Garcia manage this?

The “30 billion” in the princess’s plan was a reasonable expectation, but Nemesis and Marshal Garcia had not only met but grossly exceeded it! Did those nations on the west continent not resist at all?

Though the nations on the west continent were smaller, combined, they wielded substantial power.

The ministers were at a loss as to how they managed to acquire such riches from them.

The finance minister, Lai Yin shook his head, suppressing the exploding chaos in his mind, and then tremblingly asked, “Your Excellency Nemesis, are… are all your words true?”

Before Su Yu could reply, Alyssa, sitting on the throne, spoke: “Every word of Nemesis is true, the numbers I received indeed tally, it can be verified.”

Tina also chimed in with a timely nod: “Yes, Nemesis and I together seized a total of 336.7 billion in spoils, of which I only took a little over 100 billion, the lion’s share was Nemesis’s…”

Next, Tina roughly explained the strategy used by Su Yu in the western mainland campaign.

Especially the parts about “Raiding Haiyan City” and “Soliciting the Xi’er Alliance as mercenaries” were emphasised.

After hearing Tina’s description, the ministers finally surrendered their hearts and verbally pledged their allegiance.

Not to mention anything else, just deciding to “Raid Haiyan City”, most decision-makers would find it very hard to make, because this was indeed too risky!

And to make such a decision in a short time, surely only a human who was proficient in prophecy like Nemesis would be so bold!

Lai Yin lowered his head and mumbled, “Lord Nemesis, I never thought you would be so powerful! Now the government’s debt has been completely filled, and we also have more budget to invest into the founding ceremony, post-war reconstruction….. no, the most urgent task is to prepare for the coronation of the princess.”

Lai Yin was speaking incoherently, blushing with excitement.

Alyssa got off the throne, came over to Su Yu and Tina, “You two have done a great merit this time, how should I reward you?”

“Well…” Su Yu bowed respectfully, “This is up to you, Your Excellency, as long as you think it’s appropriate.”

Tina also nodded, “I think so too.”

“Very well then.” Alyssa didn’t think for too long, and made her decision, “Since you two brought back spoils worth more than 300 billion, I’ll give you each 10 billion! How does that sound?”

“10 billion?!” Sounds of people sharply inhaling echoed in the hall.

The ministers present, of course, knew what a sum of 10 billion meant.

For high-level nobles of the empire like the Lord of Pearl City, apart from fixed assets like shops, lands, and manors, their dispossable assets would amount to several billion.

The princess casually gave Nemesis and Tina 10 billion each! This was beyond the description of “generous!”

Su Yu and Tina were completely stunned.

This was 10 billion!

Su Yu had once held 10 billion, so he knew how much he could get for this money.

With this 10 billion, he wouldn’t lack resources to cultivate from sixth level all the way to seventh level! Buy! Buy! Buy!

Tina had no concept of this “10 billion”, she didn’t need to train like Su Yu.

However, she thought to herself, “such a huge sum of money, I can use it to help the poor children in the country, provide them with opportunities for further education. It can also serve as a way to reduce the pressure on the princess’s grassroots governance, perfect.”

Seeing the two in front of her not speaking, Alyssa smiled, “Since you don’t have anything to say, let’s settle with this decision! Once the spoils are auctioned, I’ll give the money to you.”

Su Yu received a notification:

“Ding, your main storyline [Goldfinch Empire (86-95) /100] is completed!”

“You have received the reward: 10 billion spiritual energy coins. Please retrieve them from [Princess Alyssa]”

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Su Yu was extremely grateful!

“You’re welcome, it’s what you deserve.” Alyssa said smilingly, while taking the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] from Su Yu, she carefully put it around her neck.
