Chapter 141: Tina's Future May Not Be Bright
Chapter 141: Tina's Future May Not Be Bright
"By the way, Tina, how did you manage to pass the Advanced Labyrinth? It’s not easy at all, and you came out unscathed?!" Margaret looked at Tina with disbelief.
As a top-tier Third Stage powerhouse, Margaret could only manage to pass the Intermediate Labyrinth. The Advanced Labyrinth was something she didn’t even dare to think about, yet Tina had accomplished what she deemed impossible! Moreover, considering that she was ten years older than Tina, Margaret felt like she had wasted her life.
"In truth, I owe it all to Kexing. Without Kexing, I wouldn’t have stood a chance in the Advanced Labyrinth," Tina said, looking at Su Yu with deep gratitude.
Then, she recounted all the help Su Yu had provided in the labyrinth. She described in detail how his charged attack had taken out 40% of the health from three mini-bosses, and how he had used the [Fungal Sorrow] to heal her during the battle against Cassadin.
Listening to Tina’s account, Instructor Margaret couldn’t help but look at Su Yu with newfound respect.
Initially, she hadn’t taken much notice of Su Yu, a mere First Stage mage. After all, in Olran City, First and Second Stage mages were a dime a dozen.
But now, it was clear that once Su Yu grew stronger, his powerful spells and sharp mind would make him a formidable force!
"The only downside is that Kexing isn’t a Druid and can’t transform into a bear. He’s a frail mage, which limits his practicality. Tina’s future may not be very bright," Margaret said with a hint of regret, looking at Su Yu.
Su Yu noticed the instructor’s gaze and felt three question marks float above his head.
???
What’s with that regretful look?
Commander Gracie stood with her hands on her hips, having listened to Tina’s entire account.
After hearing the story, Gracie cast a few surprised glances at Su Yu. She hadn’t expected this wealthy young mage to have such skills!
She walked over to Su Yu and patted his shoulder appreciatively. "Good job, kid!"
"It’s my duty to assist the knight. It’s what a squire should do," Su Yu replied humbly.
"Don’t be modest! Regardless, you brought Tina back unharmed, which is a great feat. I don’t have much to reward you with, but here’s a scroll for you!"
Gracie took a scroll emitting a fiery glow from her spatial ring and handed it to Su Yu.
"Notification: [Gracie Windsor]’s Goodwill towards you has increased by 1, reaching 'Indifferent.'"
"Notification: You have received Gracie’s gift, [Lesser Fireball] Skill Scroll x1."
"??? Can a commander’s goodwill also be increased?" Su Yu was slightly taken aback.
However, considering that Gracie was already in her thirties and was a married woman, Su Yu’s desire to increase her goodwill diminished significantly.
"Thank you, Commander!"
"Sure." Gracie nodded and turned to Tina. "Tina, I’ll be going now. Don’t forget to bring your luggage to the knight’s guild tomorrow!"
"Of course, Commander!" Tina clenched her small fists excitedly. Joining the Unicorn Knights had been her dream, and it was finally about to come true!
"Kexing, we’ll have to work hard together in the future!"
Tina said this as she threw herself into Su Yu’s arms, burying her face in his chest.
"Notification: [Tina Garcia]’s Goodwill towards you has increased by 3."
"Sure, let’s work hard together," Su Yu patted the girl’s back gently.
The seventh ring of the Tina storyline has concluded. The next ring will open in two hours.
Taking this opportunity, Su Yu decided to return to his territory to upgrade its technology.
Under the broad moonlit sky, Su Yu navigated a small cargo boat through the waves of the Moonlight River.
As he enjoyed the cool river breeze, he began to tally up the rewards from his latest mission.
- The Ice Barrier skill
- The Inferior Fireball skill
- Eight vials of Tina's Blood
- The blueprint for a Fortress
Su Yu was thoroughly satisfied with his haul!
There was no need to go into detail about the skills and blueprints.
He had now collected 21 vials of Tina's Blood.
"Once I get back, I'll place an enchantment commission and see if the Sky Dragon can gild a Sixth-Rank Temporary Experience Scroll. If it succeeds, I won't have to live in constant fear in the real world," Su Yu thought with a pleased smile.
The small boat sailed downstream, and within just a few minutes, Su Yu had successfully reached his territory.
As soon as he arrived, Su Yu noticed the changes in his territory.
A small wooden dock, about ten meters long, had been constructed along the riverbank.
With this dock, Su Yu could now purchase medium-sized cargo ships to transport supplies to his territory.
He could bring in much-needed daily necessities and building materials, accelerating the development of his territory. It would also make trading with Orlan City much easier.
Upon learning of his master's return, the steward, Cole, was already waiting at the dock.
As Su Yu disembarked, Cole immediately bowed respectfully. "Master, welcome back!"
"Hello, Cole! How's the territory doing?" Su Yu patted the steward on the shoulder and led the way toward the village.
"The territory has been developing at a rapid pace," Cole said excitedly, eagerly detailing the recent changes.
First, the population.
During the four hours Su Yu was away, another wave of refugees had arrived, adding 11 new residents to the territory, including two ordinary talents. This brought the total population to 28!
At this rate, the territory would be upgraded to a medium-sized village in just one or two days.
Second, the resources.
Thanks to the efforts of the players, a large amount of resources had been gathered, piled up like a small mountain in the village.
The current status of the territory was as follows:
- Apex Village
- Level: Small Village
- Population: 28/200
- Prosperity: 97/100
- Livability: 100/100
- Resources: Food 635, Wood 1171, Stone 147, Gold 12
Each resource had a significant surplus, greatly enhancing the territory's development potential.
Finally, the buildings.
When Su Yu left, there were only six Residences. Now, there were 20, enough to house 60 residents.
A Lumber Yard and a Quarry had also been built near the resource points.
Most importantly, the Town Hall was nearly complete.
This was the main reason Su Yu had returned. With the Town Hall, he could upgrade the territory's technology!
Upgrading technology would improve construction efficiency, unlock more building blueprints, and enhance the cultural life of the residents, all of which were crucial for future development.
Especially the early accumulation of technology points. In the later stages of the game, he could unlock advanced technologies like Nuclear Fusion and Manned Moon Landing, ushering the game into the information age.
In his previous life, the first territories appeared at the end of the second expansion pack, and even after humanity's destruction, the territories in the game could only build tanks and warships.
In this life, he started upgrading his territory and technology on the ninth day of the first expansion pack, a full three months earlier than in his previous life.
This time, he was determined to unlock those ultimate technologies, like the Doomsday Mech and more!
