Chapter 478: 477, Youmi Body Pillow_1
“Two hours eh? Haha, I’m really looking forward to this!” The senior monk laughed while stroking his beard.
Su Yu turned to Zhong Feng: “I will take advantage of these two hours to capture another Spiritual Spring Eye. The Skru base at Mount Wuyi has the lowest defense level, I’ll go there for a bit and see if there’s an opportunity.”
For the past few days, the task of “conquering Spiritual Spring Eyes” had been solely Su Yu’s responsibility.
Although the United Government has gathered more than a hundred ancient powers, these powers generally only reach the fourth or fifth stage– not yet able to restore to the sixth stage. Only twelve reach the peak of the fifth stage. (Prime Minister Cao Cao and Zhu Guorui are exceptions, thanks to copious amounts of gathered spiritual energy.)
Small Skru bases are generally equipped with “Gekon” type millimeter-scale laser cannons. They pose no significant threat to Su Yu, who is at Level 6, but are lethally effective against level 5 monks.
Therefore, these monks below are unable to participate in conquering the Spiritual Spring Eyes, leaving only Su Yu to handle it.
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the monks looked at him with respect. After all, Su Yu’s efforts in capturing the Spiritual Spring Eyes were all for their sake!
Zhong Feng said seriously: “Go ahead, and remember to be careful.”
But at this moment, he seemed to think of something and said, “Su Yu, wait a moment.”
He then got back into his mechanical armor and returned to the base below.
More than a minute later, Zhong Feng drove back into the sky with his mechanical armor and handed a plush toy to Su Yu – who had a “seriously?” look on his face:
“This is a life-size cushion of ‘Magical Kitty Youmi’. Wen Li knew you would come to Yunlu Mountain today, so she asked me to give it to you.”
Su Yu took the life-size Youmi cushion (of course, by “life-size” it means the size of Cat Morning Star) and was at a loss for words.
He had asked Xue Wen Li to help him purchase the Youmi life-size cushion previously. He had promised Morning Star that he would give her this.
But… wasn’t the location for the handover inappropriate?
Su Yu looked around him.
More than a hundred monks were watching – some at him, and some at the cushion in his hands. Their faces were filled with fascination.
“This plush toy… I never expected Su Yu to like things that are full of girlish charm.” This was the shared sentiment among the majority of the monks.
With a thick skin, Su Yu tucked the pillow into his necklace.
Fortunately, he didn’t feel any “social embarrassment”. As the saying goes, “As long as I don’t feel embarrassed, the embarrassment is on everyone else.”
He gave the monks below a salute and laughed heartily: “See you all! I hope you restore your Divided God Realm soon!”
After speaking, Su Yu used [Hearthstone] and within 10 seconds, disappeared from the sky above Yunlu Mountain.
…
“Here you are.” After returning home, Su Yu threw the Youmi cushion to Morning Star.
Morning Star was initially too immersed in the cyber world to pay him any notice. But upon sighting the Youmi cushion, her eyes lit up instantly, “Is this a Youmi cushion?!”
Morning Star enveloped Youmi into her arms with a swift, “Hungry cat attacks,” and threw her phone aside. Rubbing her head against Youmi, she wore an expression of sheer bliss.
The corner of Su Yu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
He commented: “Morning Star, aren’t you a female cat? Why are you interested in Youmi, who is also a female cat?”
“Uh…. I can’t really explain it. I just like her.” Morning Star flipped onto her back atop the Youmi cushion, showing her snow-white belly: “It’s so comfortable! I really wish I could bring this cushion back to our world.”
“That might be difficult to pull off,” Su Yu shrugged, “Just use the little time we’ve got to attack the Spiritual Spring Eye. Today, let’s aim to conquer Wu One (Mount Wuyi Base One).”
“Alright then.” Morning Star didn’t reject the idea, and lazily jumped onto Su Yu’s shoulder.
…
…
Su Yu and Morning Star used a portal to travel to Mount Wuyi. However, what they didn’t know was that his post on the official forum had caused quite a stir!
The game is currently in maintenance stage, and all players are offline.
Players were either browsing the latest updates on the official website or were having water cooler talks on the forum, speculating on the new updates and matters relating to manifestation of power. The forum was crowded with players more than ever.
Su Yu’s post was extremely topical and immediately aroused an explosive sensation in the forum.
A set of fourth-grade epic equipment, and it was gold!
Most people haven’t even seen third-grade equipment yet, let alone such a high-level fourth-grade piece!
Players were leaving comments under Su Yu’s post.
“My heavens! Fourth-grade Epic set! I’ve learned so much this time!”
“Those features, those additional skills, those set properties. I’m drooling.”
Some players raised questions: “Wait a minute guys! Unless I’m mistaken, equipment that has been worn can’t be traded, right? Why can Boss Ke trade this set of equipment?”
A player immediately replied to his doubt:
“Yes, it can’t be traded, but gold equipment can be traded offline!”
“It can be traded offline. You can go find Boss Ke in the real world, he hands you the clothes, and you putting them on is considered a trade, right? The clothes can’t possibly recognize their users and refuse to add attributes when other people wear them right?”
“So that’s how it works.”
“Ah, I regret not being a wizard!”
“Boss Ke must have a new set of equipment since he’s selling his old ones, can anyone guess what the new equipment is?”
“How can we possibly guess that?”
A player tagged [Enemy in the Clouds]: “Boss in the Cloud, here’s your chance!”
[Enemy in the Clouds] was also surprised. His family was wealthy, but this gold equipment was a rare find that even money couldn’t buy! And with his abilities, he was surely capable of seizing the top place for wizards!
Consequently, he immediately posted on the forum, promising to level up vigorously and to become the first wizard to reach full level in the next version. He asked everyone to observe him.
…
Two hours later, Su Yu captured the Wu One Skru base and then used a teleporter to return to the Spiritual Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain.
The process of Su Yu attacking the Skru base has been simplified recently.
In the past, after he captured a base, he had to wait for the Blue Star army to occupy it and capture all Skru prisoners before he could leave.
But now, because there are already enough Skru prisoners in the prison and they can’t hold any more, Su Yu had decided to annihilate all the Skrus in the base to settle it once and for all.
However, the Skrus have gotten much smarter. Now they don’t leave many people in the small bases.
When he initially attacked Lingwu Mountain’s Spiritual Spring Eye base, 834 Skru people were captured by the Blue Star army at once; today, when he attacked the small base at Wu One, less than 50 Skru people were eliminated, only two ships were confiscated.
The Skru people are getting smarter and smarter!
