Chapter 450: 449, spend 2.5 billion in 3 hours_1
Alyssa casually flicked her hair and said, “In that case, let me issue an edict. All the prominent powers across the country, like [Silvershine Spire], [Elemental Dome], [Mercenary Guild], and [Brilliant Gold Association] in Pearl City, will assist you, providing all the high-rank materials you need.”
Tina also softly said, “I’ll help you gather some rank six materials during my leisure time when I manage the government affairs. I can give them to you later as mission rewards.”
“Thank you!” Su Yu was extremely grateful for their support.
He wanted to step forward to give each of them a hug and a quick peck, but doing so would make him an outright scoundrel. So he just stood there, feeling awkward.
…
In the following three hours until he logged off, Su Yu left the Royal Palace and traveled around the world to purchase the necessary materials.
Goldfinch City– The Silvershine Spire headquarters—The Treasure House.
“I want a sixth-rank [Horn of the Thunder Lizard King],” Su Yu said to the elderly mage responsible for sales at the Treasure House.
“I’m sorry, Your Excellency Nemesis.” The old mage performed a mage’s salute and showed a troubled face. “[Horn of the Thunder Lizard King] is a treasure in our exhibition gallery which usually isn’t for sale. Even if it is, according to the rules, a high contribution is required.”
Su Yu didn’t respond to him but instead spoke to someone behind him. “Your Excellency Roland, could you part with this treasure? I’m willing to pay a high price.”
A faint voice of tower-master Roland came from the void, “Since Your Excellency Nemesis needs it, of course, I have no reason to refuse. I can give it to you for free.”
“I don’t want anything for free,” Su Yu shook his head and smiled. “The market value of [Horn of the Thunder Lizard King] is about three million spiritual energy coins. Since it has a price but is not for sale, I’ll offer 3.5 million. Please deliver it to my place.”
Su Yu pulled out a black Magic Crystal Card, entered 3.5 million into it, and tossed it to the old mage who was sporting an awkward smile.
The next second, Su Yu’s figure swiftly vanished from the place.
However, his voice still lingered in the air, “Your Excellency Roland, don’t play these tricks with your clones again in the future. It’s really not fun.”
The old mage’s face turned pale after taking the Magic Crystal Card.
…
Pearl City– Shining Gold Association headquarters, second floor– Inside a purification room.
A portly middle-aged businessman kept flattering Su Yu, “Your Excellency Nemesis, your arrival truly… in Pandamen’s language, it brings splendor! You are like the…”
“Stop it,” Su Yu interrupted him. “I want the feathers of the Holy Fire Bird, 200 in total.”
“Hehe, the feathers of the Holy Fire Bird are the top-tier rank six fire-type material, you really have a good eye….” The middle-aged businessman opened his chatterbox again, chattering incessantly.
“Cut the crap, tell me the price? Don’t waste my time,” Su Yu gave him a glare.
Although Su Yu’s words were rude, the businessman didn’t get angry at all.
For a businessman, such impatient customers are far better than those who just browse without buying anything.
“For two hundred feathers, that will be a total of 10.4 million spiritual energy coins. That’s already the lowest price,” he quickly replied.
“6.4 million.”
Su Yu immediately slashed it by one-third right off.
The businessman was taken aback, “This price… you are making it really hard for me.”
“Just tell me if you will sell it or not,” Su Yu stood up as if to leave. “If you don’t sell it, I’ll go next door to [Evergold Rose]. They split this Holy Fire Bird with you, so they should have as many feathers in stock as you do.”
The businessman’s heart missed a beat, Nemesis knows about this? Isn’t he a prophet, how can he know the past?
But he immediately said, “I’ll sell, I’m willing to sell the feathers to you!”
…
Su Yu started a widespread “splurge” in various major cities of Goldfinch Empire and Lai Yin Empire, purchasing any materials he set his sights on.
The total amount of spiritual energy coins in Su Yu’s backpack was plummeting straight down, from 99 billion dropped to 97 billion and then to 93 billion.
Only when it dropped to 75 billion did Su Yu contentedly finish his shopping spree. Carrying a mountain of high-rank precious materials, he returned to his territory.
The reason why Su Yu ended his shopping spree at this time was not because he had bought everything, but because he had exhausted the day’s gaming time and had no choice but to log off.
That said, these materials were enough for Su Yu to splurge lavishly for a while.
He took off his helmet and returned to the offline world.
Not much later, Tina’s silhouette gradually appeared beneath the hovering helmet.
“Nemesis, where are we going today?” Tina’s gentle face looked slightly tired.
Only when she was deep in the real business of reform did she realize how tiresome handling state affairs can be.
Many of the cunning old foxes in politics were crafty and deceptive. Scheming against them was truly exhausting.
Fortunately, Tina wielded life and death power given by Alyssa, which gave her an advantage in her power struggle with the ministers.
So after working hard for several consecutive days, she appeared somewhat fatigued.
“Tina, today we continue to conquer the Spiritual Spring Eye,” said Su Yu.
But seeing Tina’s current condition, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her, “Or else, let’s do this. Tonight we will do some easy ones. After we finish, I’ll take you to see some beautiful sights on our Blue Star, and enjoy some specialty foods. How does that sound?”
“That sounds great!” Upon hearing beautiful sights and delicious food, Tina instantly perked up.
In turn, she pulled Su Yu’s arm and jumped out of the window, “Nemesis, let’s go! The faster we finish, the sooner we can clock out.”
…
About fifteen minutes later, at Yan Mountain north of the Imperial Capital.
Su Yu turned on his mobile live-streaming device and said to his online viewers, “Hello everyone, today we are attacking ‘Swallow Six’, which is right beside yesterday’s ‘Swallow One’ Spring Eye, located at the East Monkey Peak in Fengning County.”
Many players were already waiting in the live room. Seeing Su Yu start the live stream, a dense flurry of comments immediately filled up the stream.
The initial comments were quite chaotic, some saying “finally started streaming”, some saying “we’ll always support you”, and some saying “it’s more disastrous to trust the Skru people than to believe in America.”
Later, someone posted a cross emoji, and the comments gradually uniformed to almost all being cross emojis, obscuring comments with dense crosses.
The cross comment originated from a foreign meme.
Several foreigners proposed to tie Su Yu to a cross and burn him (these people have no concept of a rank six powerhouse’s strength, Su Yu could even stand on the surface of the sun without getting burned), some suggested to tie him to the cross and give him to the Skru people.
Because both of them were somehow related to the cross, this resulted in the comments in Su Yu’s live stream being flooded with dense crosses, which looked quite neat and pleasing at first glance.
Tina was also now watching the comments, but she didn’t understand the meaning behind the cross.
So she asked Su Yu, “Nemesis, what does the ‘cross’ represent?”
“Ah, well, it means everyone wants to see your [Cross Slash],” Su Yu laughed.
“I see,” Tina nodded her head.
Since everyone loved it, she no longer hesitated.
She drew her sword and was ready to unleash the first [Cross Slash] of the day on the spiritual energy defense shield of the Skru base.
