Chapter 541: 538, [Azerite Bomb]_1
The leader Zhu Talan just took away Tao Shi’s loaded dice, definitely noticing something fishy about them. However, the leader didn’t say anything and instead brought out this dice that could predict fate.
By rolling the Dice of Destiny, if Tao Shi rolls a 4, 5, or 6, it means that Su Yu really possesses the ability to predict the future;
But if the number rolled is 1, 2, or 3, then it proves that either Su Yu’s prophetic abilities are unfounded or he intentionally wants to harm Tao Shi.
The results prove that Su Yu really does have prophetic abilities and genuinely wants to assist Tao Shi.
Moved by Su Yu, and for some other reasons, the leader Zhu decided to give him the [Dice of Destiny].
…
This [Dice of Destiny] is a very, very precious treasure.
Although it has a 24-hour cooldown time, throwing it once at a critical moment could be of great use!
Su Yu estimates that the value of this [Dice of Destiny] even surpasses that of the [Moon God Clan Badge] he wears. It’s a reward of the level that one could typically only get on the 50th or 100th round of main tasks.
Surprisingly, in this minor 10-round hidden task, he was able to obtain such a highly valued reward!
“Thank you, Leader Zhu! Thank you for giving me this dice!” Su Yu repeatedly thanked the head leader, Zhu Talan.
“No need to be formal.” Leader Zhu Talan modestly smiled: “I just received a message from His Majesty, informing me that your Excellency Nemesis will be assisting us in our war against the Mantis Demons and the Mogu Clan. I’m giving you this small gift with hopes that you have a victorious return.”
Standing nearby, Tao Shi’s eyes widened with disbelief as she looked at Su Yu: “You’re Nemesis?”
The reputation of Nemesis is, of course, known to her. To be precise, there’s no Pandaman in the Empire who doesn’t know Nemesis.
She hadn’t expected that the person who assisted her had such a high standing. She was completely taken aback.
“Yes, I’m Nemesis. I saw how pitiful Lili seemed outside the Royal Palace at noon today, and lent her a hand.” Su Yu told Tao Shi with a smile, then looked at Leader Zhu Talan: “Rest assured, Leader Zhu, I will give my all to defeat the Mantis Demons and the Mogu Clan!”
“Well then, I’ll be here waiting to hear your news of victory,” Leader Zhu Talan laughed.
…
At this point, his tasks are all thoroughly completed.
The leader Zhu gave Tao Shi and her mother a large amount of spiritual energy coins for resettlement.
Su Yu escorted the mother and daughter back home in Emerald Bamboo City.
Amid the mother and daughter’s expressions of gratitude, Su Yu waved goodbye and used [Teleportation] to leave their wooden house.
…
After using [Teleportation], Su Yu arrived at the city gate of Emerald Bamboo City, appearing in the sky above the entrance.
In the time that Su Yu had been tasking, hundreds of thousands of players had gathered on the empty land before the entrance.
Upon arriving at the entrance, Su Yu was immediately startled.
The entrance was packed with people, the bustling horde was so dense that there seemed to be no ending in sight.
Seeing Su Yu arrive, the crowd below started to ripple.
Everyone raised their heads, waving at Su Yu in the sky:
“Boss Ke, you finally came!”
“Boss Ke, we just rushed back from Morning Wind City (a large city near the border of the Pandaman Empire) to accept the task!”
Su Yu gave a friendly wave to the players below, saying: “Welcome everyone to this field battle! I’ll try my best to help you all get the highest battle rewards!”
After finishing his sentence, he lowered his flight altitude, descending from 40 meters above the ground to just 10 meters.
A golden exclamation point appeared above his head, opening up the task to more players.
All players within a 100-meter radius of Su Yu triggered the task almost simultaneously.
“Ding! Congratulations on activating the large-scale field battle [Heart of Fear].”
“Mission Brief: An emissary of the Goldfinch Empire [Nemesis] has joined the [Pandaman Camp]. To help the Pandamen resist invasions from various races, he launches a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Mantis Demon tribe, [Heart of Fear].”
“Mission Requirements: Assist [Nemesis] in capturing [Heart of Fear]. Defeat the Mantis Demon army in [Heart of Fear], and force the Mantis Demon leader [Queen Shek’zeer] to surrender to the Pandamen. Progress (0%)”
“Battle Rewards: Rewards according to progress percentage. ”
Being veterans, the players quickly retreated to the periphery of the open space to make way for others to take up the task, without needing any reminder from Su Yu.
While standing in the sky and offering tasks to the players, Su Yu was also searching for Zhen Hong in the crowd.
With people densely packed below, it took Su Yu a long time to spot Zhen Hong at the edge of the crowd.
Zhen Hong was still quite a distance away from him, and as he couldn’t move, he had no choice but to privately message Zhen Hong.
Su Yu: “Zhen Hong, after accepting the main task later, I’ll assign 1000 players to you. You all go to the Pandaman military supply place to get some [Azerite Bombs]; they will be very useful.”
Zhen Hong: “[Azerite Bombs]? I’m familiar with those. I’ll go right now!”
Su Yu: “Yeah, 10 thousand bombs should be enough. They can be used to blow up the Amber Barricade in front of the [Hive Chamber]. Furthermore, these bombs are highly effective against the Mantis Demon tribe’s Amber Armor, so they are incredibly useful. ”
Zhen Hong: “!!! (???!)/ Boss Ke, how did you know about this?”
Now he was nearly shocked senseless!
The 10-round main missions Zhen Hong had been doing over the past week were mainly concerning the Mantis Demon’s Amber Armor.
The Mantis Demon tribe relies heavily on their “Amber Armor” – a layer of pale yellow amber attached on the surface of their shells that significantly strengthens their defense and is hard to break through with a sword.
Consequently, this had been giving the Pandamen a hard time.
Luckily the Pandamen chief gunner, Fan Yuan, came up with a good idea.
He crafted the Azerite like gunpowder into bombs.
In one experiment, the effects were immediately proven when he threw it at a captive Mantis Demon. The amber on the demon’s body was pierced by the Azerite in just a few seconds.
As such, the [Azerite Bomb] became the Pandamen’s trump card against the Mantis Demons.
However, this experiment had taken place just 3 days prior (in real time) and was still top secret. How did Boss Ke know about it?
Regardless, Zhen Hong didn’t make any wildly guesses. Perhaps this was due to Boss Ke’s prophecy.
As soon as he entered within 100 meters of Su Yu, he accepted the main task given by him. In addition to this, he also received a game prompt for a side mission:
“Emissary [Nemesis] assigns you the task [Tasks – Transport Azerite Explosives]. Do you accept?”
“Accept!”
“Ding! Congratulations on triggering the scenario mission [Request for Azerite Explosives].”
“Task Requirements: Lead 1000 players to the military supply office in the Emerald Bamboo City, request 10,000 [Azerite Explosives] from the head of the supply office [Li Feng], and return safely to [Nemesis].”
“Task Rewards: 35,000 Experience Points, 200 spiritual energy coins.”
