Chapter 315: 315, Return to Goldfinch City_1
This time, the main storyline has a bonus for the players, that is, the entire West Continent area is now fully open to the players!
The players can explore the West Continent, engage in business, experience new instances, discover hidden quests…
Even though it’s only three days until September 1st, the day when the second major expansion will be released, it’s always good to play the content of the West Continent earlier.
However, the players generally haven’t noticed this advantage yet.
As Su Yu’s words spread across several large chat rooms, these chat rooms immediately blew up:
Nuclear Wastewater from Japan: “My gosh! The West Continent is now fully open to us? I didn’t expect we could play new content before the new expansion is released!”
Great Jeffrey: “What I care most about is the first clearance of the instances! Can any of the big players tell me how many instances there are in the West Continent and what level we need to enter them?”
Sword God of Shili Slope: “According to my research on these smaller countries before the mission began, each Duchy or Federation probably has 3-5 instances, and each Kingdom has 30-50 instances. However, we are generally only level 27 or 28, so I guess we can only enter about one or two hundred instances!”
Pai Mengbao: “What are we waiting for? Let’s go and grab the first clearance!”
We United: “29-level Blade Dancer Tower…Oops, I mean 29-level Assassin looking for a group, I can Stealth and Pick Lock!”
Han Li Han Paopao: “My fellow Taoists, wait a moment! Shouldn’t we get our reward from Boss Ke before rushing for the first clearance? It’s 20,000 spiritual energy coins per person!”
Sweeping Monk of the Shaolin Sect: “Oh yes! Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist.”
Su Yu was standing in the center of the Royal Palace of Lu Man.
Upon receiving the news, players from all directions flocked to him excitedly.
“Boss Ke, we’ve come to hand in the mission!”
“Boss Ke, you can start doling out the money now!”
“Boss Ke, give the money quickly! I can’t wait to seize the first clearance of the instance!”
The players were shouting loudly.
“Alright, alright, everyone come one by one, don’t push each other.” Su Yu smiled.
He opened the mission agency panel, and a huge golden question mark appeared above his head.
The players approached quickly and submitted their missions.
Su Yu’s game log also started to scroll quickly:
“Ding, the player ‘Aixinjueluo Tielitian’ completes the mission, you get a 1% commission, a total of 238 spiritual energy coins, and 345 experience points.”
“Ding, the player ‘Manjusri Bodhisattva of the Vatican’ completes the mission, you get a 1% commission, a total of 241 spiritual energy coins, and 345 experience points.”
“Ding, the player ‘Skin is Good After Bathing’…”
For each player’s reward, Su Yu could get a 1% commission.
As the players handed in one mission after another, his inventory was filled with over 2 million more spiritual energy coins and over 3 million “Kibble”.
The “Kibble” was very useful for Su Yu, as it could be used to quickly restore Morningstar’s power.
The 2 million-plus spiritual energy coins didn’t mean much to him, so he didn’t take them to heart.
After completing the missions, brilliant golden light shone on many of the players present, a sign of leveling up.
There were very few players who didn’t level up, like Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, etc. Their levels had already reached 29, so of course they wouldn’t level up.
However, they all took out the transparent “Experience Crystal Stone” from their backpacks and curiously examined this new acquisition.
In addition to leveling up, the first thing the players did was open their backpacks to check their number of spiritual energy coins.
Upon seeing the “Spiritual Energy Coins” column go from three digits to five, many players let out a satisfied moan:
“I feel so awesome now! I’m finally rich!”
“Now that I’m rich, I can go to the auction house to buy all the skills, and use the rest of the money to buy a few purple equipment for fun.”
“Buy now if you want to buy anything! If you wait a bit longer, the low-priced ones will be snatched away by others!”
“You’re right, let’s go now!”
Some players excitedly dashed straight to the auction house, some formed teams to compete for the first clearance, and some went to find hidden quests. The entire palace was alive with bustling activity.
Seeing the players so happy, Su Yu was also very relieved.
This was also a trivial small task he did to strengthen the power of humanity!
After all the players had finished handing in their missions, Su Yu and Tina returned to Goldfinch City via Antondidas’ teleportation circle.
Goldfinch City was also a lively scene.
The princess had a high reputation among the people, and the civilians of Goldfinch City were all very supportive of her.
Riding Dima down the street, Su Yu saw people on both sides of the road with smiles on their faces, and the streets were strewn with petals, as though he was walking on a carpet made of flowers.
Su Yu and Tina arrived at their destination—Goldfinch Royal Palace.
Upon learning of Su Yu and Tina’s arrival, Royal Guard Keledron of the Princess ran up to the entrance of the Royal Palace.
Seeing the two of them from afar, Keledron quickly saluted respectfully: “Lord Nemesis, Lady Tina, I’m so glad you’re finally back! The princess will be so happy to know you’re back!”
“Long time no see, Keledron.” Su Yu greeted him with a smile and casually handed him a sapphire worth several thousand spiritual energy coins as a gift.
Keledron, in a good mood, respectfully led the two of them into the palace.
Goldfinch Royal Palace wasn’t quite the same as it was when Su Yu last visited.
The rebels had occupied it after the princess evacuated. Although they didn’t extensively destroy the buildings here, you could still see many broken walls and traces of burning as you walked in.
In the main hall at the center of the palace, Su Yu and Tina met Alyssa.
Alyssa, sitting high up on the throne, was discussing politics with the ministers below, some sitting, some standing.
Seeing Su Yu and Tina arrive, she stopped the discussion, then stood up excitedly: “Nemesis, Tina, you’re finally back!”
The moment she saw Su Yu, Alyssa had an urge to throw herself into his arms, regardless of everything else.
But in front of her ministers and Tina, she suppressed this impulse. She would wait until they were alone.
“Your Highness, we are back!” Su Yu and Tina answered simultaneously.
Su Yu gave the princess a mage’s bow.
Tina was not sworn to the princess, so she didn’t need to kneel. She just bowed in the manner of a knight.
The ministers in the hall also greeted Su Yu and Tina one after another: “Marshal Garcia, Lord Nemesis, long time no see! Didn’t expect you to come back today!”
At this time, a minister in his fifties with some white hair at his temples ran to Su Yu and Tina.
As he ran, he asked excitedly: “Lord Nemesis, Marshal Garcia, may I ask how the spoils from this time are? Can it offset the debts of the Empire?”
Su Yu recognized the man, his name was Brian Monck, he was the Empire’s finance minister.
“What? Hasn’t the princess told you about the amount of our spoils this time?” Su Yu asked curiously.
During these days when the army was marching outside, Su Yu reported every action he took through magic communication to Alyssa, including of course the amount of the spoils.
He just didn’t expect the princess not to tell her ministers.
“She hasn’t.” Brian said with a bitter face: “Her Highness always says, ‘The final number is not yet determined, it’s not convenient to disclose’.”
“Lord Nemesis, didn’t your operation mess up, did it?” Brian was very worried.
