Chapter 1160: Returning to the Territory
Chapter 1160: Returning to the Territory
Gracie stood at the door of the lounge, her face a mix of emotions as she pondered for a long time.
Finally, she let out a long sigh and resigned herself to the situation:
"Teena, I will assist you in quickly taking on the role of the Unicorn Knights' Commander. I will also help you suppress any dissent within the knights. Everything is for the Empire."
"Everything is for the Empire," Teena replied softly.
Teena still felt a bit embarrassed. After all, Gracie had been the commander for many years, while she was a new recruit who didn't even fully understand the structure of the knightly order. Yet, for the sake of the princess, the Empire, and the guardian deity Evan, she had no choice but to take on this role.
With that thought, Teena shook her head slightly, "Commander, what should we do now? Should we head back to the barracks together?"
"Back to the barracks? Not yet. I need to check your physical condition first."
Gracie took Teena's hand and used her magic to probe her internal state.
After a thorough examination, Gracie slowly said, "Teena, you've just broken through to a new level, and your foundation isn't very stable yet. Your mental fluctuations are also quite unstable. It's best if you stay at home and rest for the next couple of days. I'll handle everything at the knightly order."
"Three days from now, once you've fully recovered, come back to the barracks. By then, I will officially transfer the command to you!"
Teena knew she needed to rest and didn't object, "Alright, I'll rest for three days and then head back to the barracks. I'll leave the barracks in your hands!"
Su Yu received a game notification: "Ding, your main quest has been updated! [Orlan City's Holy Maiden (16/100)]."
"Quest requirement: Follow Teena to the Unicorn Knights' barracks and witness her becoming the commander. Quest start countdown: 5:59:58."
"Quest reward: 3000 experience points."
After a brief discussion about the internal situation of the knightly order, Gracie and Teena bid each other farewell, and Gracie hurried back to the barracks.
Teena, accompanied by Su Yu, returned to her home on Pinecone Street.
"Cryst, would you like to come in for a bit?"
Teena touched the doorframe of her home, blinking her large eyes.
"Maybe not this time. I have some important things to do," Su Yu replied softly.
In truth, he would have liked to sit down with Teena, but the [Jade Dragon Statue] was still in the mailbox, and he needed to bring it back to his territory as soon as possible.
This statue could significantly shorten the construction period of his territory, so it was best to place it as soon as possible.
"Alright, go ahead and get to work then?" Teena said, slightly disappointed.
Since Su Yu didn't want to stay with her, she would have to spend the time alone at home.
Seeming to sense Teena's reluctance to be alone, Su Yu had an idea, "Teena, how about I take you to my territory for a tour? You need to rest anyway, so a little outing shouldn't affect anything."
"Your territory? Sure! Let's go!" Teena's eyes lit up, and she quickly went to change her clothes.
She had heard Su Yu talk about his territory before, and it sounded like a good idea to see it for herself.
Twenty minutes later, a medium-sized cargo ship was sailing down the Moonlight River.
This ship belonged to Su Yu's territory and was filled with goods that the residents needed, such as salt, clothing, and mirrors, as well as some [Sunstones] that [Crazy Dave] had specifically requested.
According to the message from the Winged Divine Dragon, Dave was close to cultivating a "sunflower that could produce more sunlight."
And the [Sunstones]...
In his previous life, Dave, controlled by an NPC faction, was never able to cultivate the "Sunflower that produces more sunlight." Now, if he can successfully cultivate it, it will undoubtedly be a significant boon for humanity on Blue Planet!
So, upon receiving the news, Su Yu personally went to the market to purchase enough Sunstones and had them transported back to his territory by cargo ship.
Whether it will be successful or not depends entirely on how well Dave performs!
...
On the deck of the cargo ship, the goblin merchant Vina Blackgold, dressed in a crisp black suit, excitedly reported to Su Yu, "Boss Kesheng, all the gambling accounts have been settled. After deducting taxes and the fees to the organizers, we've netted a profit of 16.23 million Psychic Coins! Here's all the money, please check it!"
Vina Blackgold carefully pulled out a black Magic Crystal Card from his pocket and handed it to Su Yu.
The card displayed a balance of 17.43 million, with the extra 1.2 million being the amount Su Yu had already paid to Tina.
Vina Blackgold had single-handedly handled the collection, calculations, and taxes for the gambling accounts.
Su Yu wasn't worried about him running off with the money, as Vina had joined his territory and had a loyalty level greater than 90, making it impossible for him to escape.
Su Yu glanced at the number on the Magic Crystal Card without much concern.
He casually attached it to his backpack, and the balance of Psychic Coins in his backpack became: 7,393,093,432.
This number was not only higher than when he had first entered the game but had also increased by over 15 million. The more he earned, the more he had.
However, it wouldn't be hard to burn through this money.
Su Yu looked at the Jade Dragon Statue in his backpack.
Jade Dragon Statue (Special Item)
Effect: Offering sacrifices to the statue can grant your territory the Prosperous Weather buff. The more sacrifices you make, the stronger the buff will be.
Prosperous Weather: Ensures favorable weather in a territory, significantly increasing production efficiency and attracting more refugees.
The Jade Dragon Statue can be enhanced by burning money, and once the Mage Tower is built, it can continue to burn money without limit.
Although 7.4 billion Psychic Coins seems like a lot, it could be completely spent in less than a month.
When that happens, he would need to consider either finding ways to earn more money or collaborating with relevant authorities.
Tina had been standing beside Su Yu the entire time. She leaned against the side of the ship, witnessing the entire process of Su Yu receiving the money.
When she heard Vina Blackgold say they had earned over 16 million Psychic Coins in one go, she was genuinely surprised, "Wow, Kesheng! You actually made that much money? Over 16 million?!"
"It's just a small amount," Su Yu said nonchalantly.
"Speaking of which, are you making all this money to help the Princess build her army?" Tina asked curiously.
"Uh, yes, I'm helping the Princess build her army."
Tina's question reminded Su Yu that the Princess currently had no money. He could lend her the money he wasn't using right now, and once she unified the nation, his investment would likely double!
Tina didn't have a strong concept of money. After seeing 16 million, she was only slightly surprised. She then tiptoed to look at both sides of the river, "Kesheng, when will we reach your territory?"
"We're already there," Su Yu pointed to a dock on the horizon, "That's it. Once we disembark, we'll be there!"
