Chapter 142: Gilded Scroll
Chapter 142: Gilded Scroll
Su Yu listened to the butler’s endless chatter as he walked toward the village.
Suddenly, a cacophony of noise echoed from the eastern mountain path.
Looking in that direction, a figure riding a snow-white howling moon wolf and wearing a red leather armor came into view.
It was, of course, Sky Dragon.
At the moment, she was happily munching on a few skewers of roasted meat as she rode the howling moon wolf into the village.
Seeing Su Yu, Sky Dragon’s eyes lit up, and she waved her arms excitedly, shouting, “President, I’ve brought back the latest batch of refugees, and among them is an exceptional talent!”
"An exceptional talent?" Su Yu was taken aback.
The probability of finding a talent among refugees was 10%, and the probability of that talent being exceptional was 1%.
To trigger a one in a thousand chance? No wonder she was the ultimate lucky charm!
Su Yu quickly opened the management panel of his territory to check the information on the latest batch of refugees.
Soon, he found the exceptional talent.
[John]
Occupation: Farmer
Trait 1: High Yield: +30% crop yield on farmed land.
Trait 2: Guidance: Transfers experience to other farmers, increasing crop yield on their farmed land by +20%.
A farming expert!
"Karl," Su Yu turned to the old butler beside him.
"Yes, my lord," Karl bowed hastily.
"Among these new refugees, there is a farmer named John. Have him serve as the ‘Agricultural Advisor’ for the territory, responsible for all the farmlands. As for his compensation... you decide, within reasonable limits."
"Understood, my lord!"
Su Yu nodded and gave a thumbs-up to the little girl, "Great job, Sky! How about you take charge of receiving refugees from now on?"
"Doesn’t that mean I have to go every two hours?" the little girl hesitated.
"Not every two hours. Whenever you’re in the territory and remember, just run a quick check. In return, you won’t have to pay for the panda pet."
The little girl thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, I’ll check in whenever I come across them... President, I’m going hunting now!"
Sky Dragon had recently become obsessed with hunting.
Since arriving at the territory, she had already led people on three hunting expeditions, catching dozens of wild chickens, rabbits, boars, and goats.
She thoroughly enjoyed the process, and most importantly, in the game, she could eat as much roasted meat as she wanted without gaining weight—this was heaven for someone who had to diet in the real world!
"Hold on," Su Yu called out to her.
"Is there something?" Sky Dragon turned back.
"Can you do me a favor first?" Su Yu said and issued an "Enchantment Commission" to Sky Dragon.
"Beep, do you accept player ‘Counter’’s Enchantment Commission?"
"Accept."
An enchantment panel popped up in front of Sky Dragon.
Enchantment Formula: [Sixth-Rank Temporary Experience Scroll] + [Tina’s Blood] = [Gilded Sixth-Rank Temporary Experience Scroll] Success Rate: 1.3%.
"Sixth-Rank Temporary Experience..." Sky Dragon was shocked when she saw the scroll’s name, "President, how do you have another one? Is it the same as the last one?"
The name of this scroll was identical to the one in Su Yu’s first-person video.
This was an incredible scroll! The fact that Su Yu had earned millions from a single video was proof enough!
"Shh, don’t tell anyone, this is my ace in the hole," Su Yu made a shushing gesture.
"Alright, I won’t say anything," Sky Dragon hesitantly promised, placing her hand on the [Enchant] button.
The enchantment ritual began.
Crimson blood, tinged with gold, dripped onto the scroll, causing its surface to emit a hazy golden glow.
However, the golden glow soon faded, and the first enchantment attempt failed.
Su Yu knew that success on the first try was unlikely, so he quickly took out a second vial of Tina's Blood and placed it on the table. Sky Dragon continued to click the Enchant button.
...
Finally, after using fifteen vials of Tina's Blood, the golden glow on the scroll did not fade. Instead, it suddenly burst into an even more brilliant golden light!
The scroll was successfully enchanted!
Sky Dragon took a bite of her skewer and let out a sigh of relief, "Finally! A 1.3% success rate, and it only took 15 tries. Not too bad, right!"
But she then asked, "President, what’s the point of making it gold? Is it just for looks?"
Players had already found a few pieces of golden equipment while grinding monsters, but the attributes of golden equipment were identical to those of ordinary equipment.
So, in the players' minds, the golden color was just for aesthetics and had no practical use.
Su Yu knew the real purpose of golden equipment, but he hadn't been acquiring these items. First-tier legendary equipment, even with golden enhancements, offered less attribute boosts compared to third-tier white gear. It made no sense to collect these golden items now; he could wait until the third tier.
Hearing the little girl's question, Su Yu smiled, "To be honest, golden equipment can be brought into the real world."
"Ha! Trying to fool a kid!" Sky Dragon couldn't help rolling her eyes at Su Yu.
Equipment that could be brought into the real world? Do you think this is a novel? How ridiculous!
"Alright, no more jokes. See you, President!" Sky Dragon urged her mount, "Shirley, let's go!"
"Awooo!"
Shirley, the Moon Howl Wolf, galloped northward.
"Goodbye, Sky."
Su Yu looked at the sixth-tier experience scroll in his backpack, now adorned with a golden edge, and felt an extra sense of security.
...
After saying goodbye to Sky Dragon, Su Yu headed toward the newly constructed Town Hall.
The Town Hall was a two-story stone and wood hybrid building. The first floor had a stone wall encircling it, while the roof and second floor were primarily made of wood.
But it was just a level one Town Hall, so it was quite basic. Compared to real-world rural houses, it was far from impressive, but it was just barely functional.
At the entrance of the Town Hall, the old carpenter, Brook, stood admiring the building he had overseen.
Seeing Su Yu approach, he hurriedly bowed, "Respected Lord, welcome."
"Brook, you've done well," Su Yu patted his shoulder encouragingly. "I've decided to increase your salary by ten percent. Keep up the good work!"
"Thank you, Lord!" The old carpenter was overjoyed.
If it weren't for Lord Su Yu, they might have starved to death. Now, Lord Su Yu not only provided them with food and shelter but also paid them a generous salary. Where could they find such a good lord?
"Ding! Carpenter Brook's loyalty has increased to 100 points."
Su Yu smiled and took out a large, life-sized map from his backpack, handing it to the old carpenter, "Find a few people and hang this map on the wall inside the Town Hall."
"As you wish, Lord!" The old carpenter took the scroll and quickly set about the task.
Su Yu stepped into the Town Hall.
The hall was currently empty, with a wooden control panel placed on one side. This panel was likely where he could research new technologies for the settlement.
Su Yu approached and opened the control panel.
A virtual control panel appeared before his eyes.
