Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

At this point, Alyssa suddenly thought of something important.

So she turned her head, her big eyes flickering as she looked at Su Yu:

“Nemesis, about the food collection, how do you plan on procuring the food? Right now, there’s not a single spare grain in the country, and the two major empires have a tight blockade on us, making it difficult for us to purchase enough food elsewhere.”

Cat Morning Star chimed in, “Exactly, you’re not just talking big, are you?”

Su Yu affectionately rubbed Alyssa’s small nose and then patted Cat Morning Star’s head:

“I ask you, in the human world right now, which country has the most food stored away?”

After thinking about it, Alyssa said, “If we’re talking about the most food stored, it’s definitely the Lai Yin Empire.”

“They have been preparing for this war for a long time. According to scouts we have hidden in the Lai Yin Empire, well before our nation’s civil war began, they had already prepared for this war, started stocking up on food and fodder, creating weapons, equipment, ship support…”

At this point, Alyssa suddenly understood Su Yu’s intention.

Her eyes lit up, “Nemesis, you’re not planning to steal food from the Lai Yin Empire, are you?”

At this moment, Cat Morning Star interjected, “How can we call what scholars do theft? It should be ‘stealing’!”

“Is there a difference?” Alyssa looked at Cat Morning Star in her arms, confused.

“No, you got it wrong.” Su Yu clarified with a deadpan expression, “I’m not planning to steal food. Besides, even if I were to steal food, the chances of me actually getting any are slim, right?”

“Of course, it’d be difficult for you to steal any food.” Alyssa nodded in agreement.

“We’ve actually tried stealing food before. I once sent Cecilia Nightblade to the northeast granary of the Lai Yin Empire to steal food, but she was detected by Khadgar’s ‘Arcane Eye’ and failed. You probably wouldn’t have any more success.”

With a leap, Cat Morning Star jumped onto Su Yu’s shoulder from Alyssa’s arms, cocking her head curiously to look at him, “If stealing doesn’t work, then how do you plan to get food from the Lai Yin Empire? Surely you can’t just ask them for it?”

“But you’re right!” Su Yu petted Cat Morning Star’s back, “I’ll make them willingly give us food!”

“You?” Cat Morning Star’s cat face shifted into disbelieving bold letters.

Alyssa also looked puzzled, “How do you plan to do that?”

Su Yu pondered for a moment and responded, “It starts with a story, do you want to hear it?”

“Well then, let’s hear it!” Alyssa, leaning on Su Yu’s left arm, curiously watched him.

Without speaking, Cat Morning Star jumped onto Su Yu’s lap, taking several bags of dried fish, beef, fries, seeds and other snacks from her space bell collar.

After sharing some of the snacks with Alyssa, the two of them ate snacks while waiting for Su Yu to tell his story.

Su Yu: “…”

However, he didn’t say anything, took a piece of jerky and chewed it, while telling Alyssa and Cat Morning Star about what happened when he returned to the gaming world.

“This morning when I returned to this world, I found that a battle was taking place at the frontline of Haiyan City where I was…(primitive text omitted) … just like that, my area spell wiped out several thousand enemy elite soldiers. But the good times didn’t last long. I don’t know how it happened, but an arrow suddenly hit my wings! A seventh-order legendary figure from the Lai Yin camp appeared!…(primitive text omitted)…”

Su Yu spent a long time detailing how he proactively participated in the war, attacked Jaina, cleared the Lai Yin elite troops, how he was pursued by Sylvanas, and finally how he negotiated a deal with the Banshee Queen.

By the end of the story, Alyssa and Cat Morning Star were completely taken aback, even forgetting to chew the snacks they had stuffed in their mouths, simply staring blankly at Su Yu.

Several minutes after Su Yu had finished speaking, Cat Morning Star was the first to come back to reality.

She swallowed the dried fish in her mouth, pounced onto Su Yu’s chest, and grabbed the collar of his mage robe, “Why didn’t you tell me about this important matter earlier?!”

Su Yu’s trading deal with the Banshee Queen was related to the Pandamen’s [Hall of Rebirth] and her mortal enemy [Walnut]. This was highly relevant to her, she didn’t expect Su Yu to wait until now to tell her!

“Well, you didn’t ask?” Su Yu shrugged nonchalantly.

“Meow!” Cat Morning Star suddenly flared up, arching her back and staring intently at him.

How could she have known to ask this? You’re clearly just brushing me off!

Seeing that Cat Morning Star was genuinely angry, Su Yu hurriedly placated her, “Alright, don’t be mad, there’ll be plenty of roasted fish for you in our world later!”

Cat Morning Star’s anger subsided a little, but she was still clearly miffed.

Su Yu had a sudden idea, “What if I buy you a life-sized cuddly ‘Magical Kitty Youmi’ pillow? That way, you can snuggle up to it at night.”

“That’s more like it!” Thinking about Youmi, most of her anger disappeared instantly.

She let go of Su Yu’s mage robe, jumped onto his lap, and went back to eating snacks.

While Cat Morning Star was placated, Alyssa was not.

Moreover, what Alyssa and Cat Morning Star were concerned about were not the same things.

After Su Yu had finished his story, Alyssa frowned, “Nemesis, this project you’re cooperating with Sylvanas on sounds very good. But it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with our topic — ‘food’?”

“There is a connection.” Su Yu looked at Alyssa and explained, “Remember that in the cooperative project, there are the shared targets of the Wind Chime Empire’s formidable adversary [Shepherd Yorick]?”

“Of course I remember.” Alyssa nodded.

“Since we’re dealing with Yorick together, it means that the Lai Yin Empire is willing to ‘betray an ally’.”

“So, since they’ve already betrayed an ally, why wouldn’t the Lai Yin Empire go all out and stab their ally to death?” Su Yu wore an expression of having a firm grasp on the situation.

“You mean, we should ally with Lai Yin!!!” Alyssa sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly.

“That’s right.” Su Yu smiled, “As soon as daybreak, I’ll go visit the Emperor of Lai Yin and try to persuade him to turn against them, pushing our two sides to unite and jointly fight against the ‘evil’ Wind Chime Empire.”

“There are no permanent allies between nations, only permanent interests. Initially, the two of them together were evenly matched with our side, but now, if we ally, we can definitely defeat the Wind Chime Empire! The Emperor of Lai Yin is a smart man, I believe they will choose to stand with us.”

“Then, the problem of food will be completely solved. The Lai Yin people will obediently deliver the food to our camp!”

Su Yu laid out his entire plan.

Alyssa fell into deep thought for a long time.

And the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. It was definitely worth a try!
