Chapter 299: 299, Main Storyline Quests 76-85 Circle_1
After discussing some less important topics, Su Yu took the elevator back to his home.
His mood became somewhat somber.
In his previous life, he was a fourth-rank mage, who once harbored the idea of trying his luck on Skru Star, believing life and death to be predestined, and wealth and honor to be decided by fate.
However, there were too many people who shared the same idea, and he could never get his turn.
The situation back then was quite similar to what Mr. Zhu and Prime Minister Cao Chengxiang are experiencing now!
Back in the game, Su Yu’s figure appeared at the entrance of the Princess House.
Before he could contemplate on what to do, he immediately received a game prompt:
“Ding, your main plotline [Goldfinch Empire] stage four has been activated, please proceed to the eastern training grounds, coordinates (3376, 2564) to start the quest.”
Without any hesitation, Su Yu mounted Dima and headed towards the quest location.
In the eastern training grounds.
Tina stood at the forefront of the stage, her gold dragon scale double-handed sword in hand and resplendent in her golden armor.
Princess Alyssa, dressed in an extraordinarily magnificent red attire, stood behind Tina.
Behind Alyssa stood a dozen other senior generals of the army.
Beneath the stage was the neatly arranged imperial NPC army and the forceful player army who had received the quest. They filled the space as far as the eye could see.
Alyssa cast her gaze over the sea of people below the stage, then announced in a solemn and commanding tone:
“Soldiers! The leaders of the rebel forces, the Dukes Landilus, and Anzu Seifer, have been executed. The high-ranking rebels have also all surrendered. Can everyone tell me, what is our next goal?”
“No cavities!” A player immediately shouted in response, creating a ripple of laughter among the band.
The NPC soldiers were unaffected, they all uniformly and loudly chorused, “Our goal is to recover our lost lands, unify the nation, and make all traitors pay the price!”
“Excellent!” Alyssa nodded approvingly.
Then she waved her hand, and a pure white token made of Mithril flew out from her Space Ring and into Tina’s hand.
“Marshal, give the order!”
“Understood!”
With the sword in her left hand and the token held high in her right, Tina loudly commanded, “Now, listen to my order, all forces, attack!”
“We obey! We fight for the Empire, we fight for Her Highness, the Princess!”
The soldiers roared and set out for the outskirts of the city under the guidance of the high-ranking officers.
Despite their numbers, the players swiftly cleared a path for the army.
At this moment, Su Yu received notification of task activation:
“Ding, your main plotline [Goldfinch Empire (76-85/100)] has been updated.”
“Task requirements: Recover the majority of the Goldfinch Empire’s territory.”
“Task reward: Random reward according to the degree of task completion.”
There wasn’t much to say about the next ten stages of the quest.
After the Imperial army exited the city, they headed north, achieving consecutive victories all the way.
It took only eight days for the Imperial army to recover Forest City (76-77th stage).
The defenders of Forest City didn’t even put up a decent resistance before they surrendered.
After sixteen days, the flag of the victorious Imperial army was planted atop the walls of the imperial capital, Goldfinch City (78-80th stage).
The citizens within the city joyfully returned to the embrace of the Empire.
32 days later, the strongholds of the two Dukes, Maple City and Giant Rock City, were taken, and the families of the two Dukes were utterly annihilated. (Rounds 81-85)
After the 85th round, nearly half of the Empire had returned under the Empire’s rule.
In the process of retaking the nation, the Imperial Army fought more than twenty battles, both large and small.
Forest City and the Imperial Capital, Goldfinch City, were easily conquered.
However, the subsequent Maple City and Giant Rock City, the nobility of these two cities knew that even if they surrendered, they would not be able to escape retribution, so their resistance was extremely fierce.
Of course, in the end, they could not escape the fate of defeat and ruination.
Su Yu was always at the forefront of these battles. He needed a lot of military merits to exchange for [Tina’s Blood], so he was exceptionally active on the battlefield, striving to gain as many military merits as possible.
After defeating the Seifu family and taking Maple City, he finally accumulated enough military merits to buy all of the remaining 386 drops of [Tina’s Blood] from Tina at the quartermaster’s place.
He also used the remaining military merits to exchange for numerous rare and epic quality equipment and potions for the guild members.
Moreover, Su Yu did not forget to use Tina and the princess’s good favor to issue thousands and tens of thousands of side quests to the players on their behalf.
Harvesting experience from these side quests, the Experience Points in the [Experience Crystal Stone] accumulated from 53.54 million to 64.89 million, providing millions of “cat food” for Morning Star.
Speaking of Morning Star, there was a small episode that took place over this period of time.
Su Yu only spent about 3 hours a day on the main storyline. Other than cultivating relationships with the princess and Tina, he spent virtually all of the rest of his time practicing spells in the Mage Tower.
On the day that Forest City was retaken, Su Yu returned to the Mage Tower with Morning Star.
On the third floor of the Mage Tower, little Katie transported a large amount of monster materials from downstairs, classified them, and threw them into the Mana Pool as requested by Su Yu;
Su Yu sat cross-legged beside the Mana Pool, absorbing the purified magic power extracted by the pool;
Morning Star lazily lay beside Su Yu, draining the energy stored in the Experience Crystal Stone.
Morning Star recovered quickly. In just one day, she went from level 2 to level 10, comparable in combat power to Warcraft of level 30-40.
Noticing that Morning Star reached level 10, Su Yu paused his practice and curiously asked, “Morning Star, what exactly is your second form when you reach level 10? Why is the setting blocking me from seeing it?”
“Hmph, I am not going to tell you!” Morning Star turned her head away without responding to Su Yu.
Su Yu just smiled and didn’t say anything, activating the magic circle below him to continue his cultivation.
Just then, he received a game alert that someone was ringing the doorbell at his home in real life – he had a visitor.
So Su Yu said to Morning Star, “I have a guest in the real world. I’ll be offline for a short while, but I’ll be right back.”
Just now, Morning Star was relaxing leisurely. Hearing Su Yu’s words, she immediately perked up, jumping onto Su Yu’s shoulder. “You’re logging out? I’m in! I haven’t finished my mobile game that I downloaded last night yet!”
“Mobile game…” Su Yu was speechless.
Morning Star played until 4 a.m. last night. It turns out that she was not only researching online but had also started playing mobile games.
However, Su Yu did not dwell on this issue, instead saying, “It might just be a courier delivery, I’ll be back online in a few minutes.”
“But that’s still time! Hurry up!” Morning Star activated the diamond-shaped rune on her forehead and voluntarily entered Su Yu’s pet space.
Su Yu was helpless with this “internet-addicted kitten”, and could only choose to take her offline with him.
Back in the real world.
As soon as Su Yu took off his helmet, Morning Star shot out of the pet space, pouncing towards Su Yu’s phone on the bed, more eager than she normally was for dried fish.
Seeing this, Su Yu shook his head helplessly.
This cat is truly beyond saving.
Just then, there was another knock on the door, accompanied by a crisp and youthful voice, “Hello, is anyone there? Does Nemesis live here?”
