Chapter 1113: The Jelly Beans Were Me All Along
"Participants in the battle (233/1000)."
"Participants in the battle (588/1000)."
"Participants in the battle (1000/1000)."
In just a few minutes, the thousand slots were filled, and the golden exclamation mark above Su Yu's head turned gray, indicating it was no longer usable.
More players rushed over, eager to take on the mission.
Upon discovering the slots were full, the last group of players wailed in disappointment:
"Ah, just a few more steps and I would have made it!"
"I'm the same, I should have checked the forum earlier!"
"How come I feel like I'm playing 'Fall Guys' and getting eliminated!"
"You're right, it does feel like that!"
"Who knew the Jelly Beans were me all along!"
Su Yu chuckled and said to the disappointed players, "Folks, go back and try to come earlier next time!"
Hahaha!
The nearby players burst into laughter, finding it amusing that a simple mission could be likened to a 'Fall Guys' elimination.
Su Yu turned to the guild leaders standing to the side, chatting: "Snow Leopard, True Red, set up a few chat groups and invite the players who have the mission to join. We'll arrange the tasks together after that."
"Got it!" Snow Leopard and True Red immediately responded.
"I'll trigger the mission, everyone wait here." Su Yu waved goodbye to the players and rode Timo to deliver the message to the Princess.
Five minutes later, the rumbling of wheels announced the arrival of the Princess's convoy, emerging from Maple City.
Players summoned their mounts and followed behind the Princess's convoy, all of them brimming with excitement.
4500 experience points!
Last time, it was 3000 points, bringing the total to 6600. This time, it might break the ten-thousand mark!
The level leaderboard was about to see a major shake-up again!
Many players looked enviously at the figure in the carriage ahead, marveling at how every time he went out, it always turned into a big deal!
...
This time, just like last time, Su Yu sat with Princess Alyssa in the third carriage.
However, Alyssa seemed a bit embarrassed: "Kei, I'm sorry I didn't inform you. We're not returning to Golden Sparrow City the same way this time; we're taking a different route."
"Taking a different route? Which route?" Su Yu asked.
"We're taking the water route this time. General Shuh's warships are waiting for us at Blue Maple Town's ferry crossing. Based on my assessment, the water route will be safer."
Su Yu nodded. "If it's safer by water, then let's go by water. I have no objections."
The Princess was right; the Kartere rebels' navy was always their weakest link. If they could travel by water, their safety would indeed be much higher.
However, the Princess looked at the large group of players behind them with some difficulty: "General Shuh hasn't prepared enough ships for all of us. Only three warships can't carry so many adventurers. Can you dismiss some of them? Just leave three or four hundred behind."
"Hmm," Su Yu furrowed his brow.
He saw this as the first test of the scenario mission for him this time.
But Su Yu quickly came up with a plan.
"Don't worry, I have a solution!"
Then he turned to the cat, in the Princess's arms, Morning Star, and said, "Morning Star, turn into a deer. We'll go to Blue Maple Ferry first."
Morning Star: "."
Ten minutes later, at Blue Maple Ferry.
The players stood on the dock, looking at the massive fleet of ships anchored nearby.
Among the ships, the three largest were General Shuh's warships, with the Golden Sparrow family's flag gleaming atop their main masts.
Each warship's deck was manned by thirty to forty soldiers, some in armor and others with bows, all of them very strong.
Behind the warships, three large civilian merchant ships were moored. These were purchased by Su Yu for 50,000 Spirit Coins each, provided for the players to use.
The players lined up to board the ships, all of them very excited:
"This scenario battle is even more intense than last time! It's a water battlefield!"
"I've always been a landlubber and afraid of water, but not this time!"
"Did you see the ships we're boarding? Kei just said in the chat room that these three ships were bought by him, each for 50,000 Spirit Coins!"
"50,000! That's got to be fake,!"
"It's probably real. I have a friend who once wanted to buy a ship for trade, and a ship of this size would cost around 50,000 to 60,000 Spirit Coins."
“Wow! Three ships cost 150,000 Psychic Coins! Bane is so rich!”
"Bane is just too good. He gives us high-experience missions and spends so much money on us."
"No way, after the mission, I have to give the Psychic Coins I earn back to Bane to help him recoup his losses."
"Me too."
"Count me in."
Meanwhile, Su Yu, Princess Alyssa, General Shuhe, and the ship owners were chatting on the dock.
Princess Alyssa looked at the three large civilian ships behind the warship, feeling amazed. "Bane, did you buy these three ships? That must have cost a fortune!"
"Not much, just 150,000 Psychic Coins. For Your Highness's safety, it's worth every coin!" Su Yu smiled.
He took out his black magic crystal card and transferred 150,000 Psychic Coins to the ship owners.
The ship owners were overjoyed when they received the payment.
Princess Alyssa watched Su Yu's actions, remembering that he had never asked her for any favors and had often spent money for her. Her gratitude towards Su Yu deepened.
"Once I ascend the throne, I must grant Bane a high-ranking position!" she thought.
Ding! [Princess Alyssa]’s Goodwill towards you +3.
Seeing Princess Alyssa’s goodwill increase, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The reason he paid the ship owners in front of her was to boost her goodwill.
Now, her goodwill towards him had reached 17 points. If it could be raised by 3 more points to 20, he would gain a few more points of World Prestige, which would allow him to purchase a territory once he reached 10 points!
Standing beside them, General Shuhe was a towering, middle-aged soldier.
He had no objections to Su Yu buying these ships. After all, if a battle broke out, these ships could serve as cannon fodder.
He glanced at the sky and respectfully said to Princess Alyssa, "Your Highness, it's getting late. We should set off."
"Alright, let's go!" Princess Alyssa nodded, glanced at Su Yu, and stepped onto the warship’s gangway.
Su Yu followed her onto the warship.
Together, they ascended to the second deck.
The second deck, clearly meticulously arranged by General Shuhe, was luxuriously decorated with an expansive view.
From the second deck, they could clearly see the wide, flat river and the prosperous Blue Maple Town on the western bank.
The river before them was called the Eternal Night River. Following it downstream would lead to the intersection of the Eternal Night River and the Radiant River, from where they could save three days of travel time to reach the Golden Sparrow City.
General Shuhe didn’t join Su Yu and the others on the second deck but stood on the warship’s deck.
After all personnel had boarded, he shouted loudly, "By order of the Princess, set sail the fleet!"
General Shuhe’s voice echoed across the river.
The massive fleet started moving, officially setting sail!
