Chapter 163: Obtaining the Plans for the Temple of Heaven
Chapter 163: Obtaining the Plans for the Temple of Heaven
Actually, Su Yu had no idea how to obtain the plans for the Temple of Heaven. In his previous life, no player had ever managed to get their hands on such a unique architectural blueprint.
But he was confident he could get it.
The reason was simple: his teacher, Evan Goldenflower, was the pinnacle of power within the game, and in the real world, he was on par with the leaders of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
With his teacher's connections, getting a mere architectural blueprint should be a piece of cake.
Su Yu walked over to Tina and stood beside her.
He then respectfully called out, "Teacher, are you there? I have something I need to ask you."
Unfortunately, he received no response.
Undeterred, Su Yu continued, "Teacher, my territory desperately needs the plans for the Temple of Heaven. Do you know where I can obtain them?"
Still no answer.
Tina felt a bit embarrassed and tugged at the corner of Su Yu's robe, asking with her eyes if she should try to get the plans from Evan Goldenflower. As a first-tier mage, Su Yu wasn't highly regarded, but if she were to ask, the chances of success would be much higher.
Su Yu placed his index finger to his lips and shook his head slightly. Then, he continued to call out loudly, "Teacher, if you help me, I will hand over all 16,230,000 psychic coins I just earned to Princess Ailiet as military funds, contributing to her resurgence and the restoration of the empire's glory."
As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the nearby void, "The Temple of Heaven? I have some recollection of that building."
A notification chimed in Su Yu's mind: "Evan Goldenflower's favorability toward you has increased by 1, reaching 'Indifferent'."
Another notification followed: "You have gained 3 points of world renown."
Evan Goldenflower's voice continued, "Here's what you should do. Take this to Pearl City and find the master craftsman, Morsanrik Ironclaw. He should know where you can obtain the plans."
As Evan Goldenflower's voice faded away, a small, fist-sized object appeared in Su Yu's hand. It was neither metal nor jade, and it bore the emblem of the royal house—the Goldenflower crest.
Su Yu quickly bowed in the direction of the voice. "Thank you, Teacher! I will do my best to assist Princess Ailiet in reclaiming her lost territories and restoring the empire's glory!"
"Good," Evan Goldenflower's voice gradually faded into the distance.
Tina watched the scene with her mouth slightly agape. She was surprised to find that even a guardian deity couldn't resist the lure of a few million psychic coins.
However, Su Yu wasn't too concerned about the money. He waved the emblem in front of Tina and smiled, "Tina, would you like to come with me to Pearl City?"
The journey to Pearl City was long and suited a solo trip. However, considering that spending time with Tina could increase the layers of the "Echo of the Ghost Cat" skill, Su Yu decided to invite her along.
Tina's eyes lit up at Su Yu's words, but they quickly dimmed. "Su Yu, I would love to go with you to Pearl City. But you know, I have to report back to the Unicorn Camp in three days, and I'm afraid the time won't allow it."
"No problem, we can use a teleportation array."
"Teleportation array? That's very expensive!" Tina exclaimed.
The teleportation arrays provided to players were relatively cheap, costing only a few dozen psychic coins for short distances and 300 psychic coins for long distances, such as from Olran City to Goldenflower City. However, the teleportation fees for NPCs were exorbitant. A one-way trip to Pearl City would cost at least 50,000 psychic coins, and a round trip would cost her half her savings!
"No worries!" Su Yu didn't mind at all. "I'll cover the teleportation fees."
Besides, I can't exactly invite you to my place and then run off, can I? That wouldn't be very hospitable."
"Alright then, I'll go with you to Pearl City." Tina didn't say anything more and extended her hand, accepting the invitation with a smile.
On the western road of Aupxi Village, Su Yu and Tina rode together on Tima, heading swiftly toward Oran City.
Tina hadn't brought her unicorn, so Su Yu had to make do by having her ride with him on Tima.
Tima, however, was unusually excited.
She neighed joyfully upon seeing her old master and galloped forward with all her might.
Even with two people on her back, Tima raced down the road with incredible speed. Before long, they reached the western entrance of the village.
At the western entrance, the beautiful Winged Dragon was directing the guild members in preparing meat soup.
The soup was for the next wave of refugees.
The scent of rich, savory broth rose from five large pots, and even though the players were used to feasting on luxurious meals in the real world, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The task of recruiting refugees was usually handled by the steward, Cole.
However, this batch of refugees was special: their arrival would double the number of refugees, and once they were settled, the total population of the territory would exceed 200, allowing it to upgrade to a Medium Village.
Therefore, Winged Dragon personally oversaw the settlement of these refugees to ensure everything went smoothly and didn't disrupt the overall development plan of the territory.
Seeing Su Yu riding Tima from a distance, Winged Dragon assumed he had come to recruit refugees as well.
She immediately waved at him, "Guild Master, are you here to recruit refugees too? Once we recruit this batch, the territory will be able to upgrade to a Medium Village!"
"Oh, it's you, Winged Dragon!" Su Yu halted Tima and dismounted with a leap.
He first opened the territory management panel and checked the current data:
Aupxi Village
- Level: Small Village
- Population: 193/200
- Prosperity: 99/100
- Livability: 95/100
- Resources: Food 3724, Wood 22546, Stone 2785, Gold 406
Indeed, once this wave of refugees arrived, the territory would be able to upgrade to a Medium Village.
"Winged Dragon, I'll leave the recruitment of refugees to you. I need to go out for a bit to take care of some other matters. By the way, don't forget that when we upgrade to a Medium Village, there will be a wave of monster attacks. Make sure the players hold their ground and try to minimize any population loss."
Every time the territory upgraded, a wave of monster attacks followed. At higher levels, there would even be bandit raids and small-scale battles with NPC armies.
However, Su Yu wasn't too concerned about the monster attacks.
This was the first monster attack for a Small Village upgrading to a Medium Village, and the number of monsters and their attack strength were minimal.
Not to mention, the guild had recruited over 500 players, and even the casual players hanging around the territory would be enough to handle this attack.
Moreover, during the Small Village stage, although Su Yu hadn't invested in the Military talent on the talent tree, he had built numerous military structures.
Barracks, archery ranges, stables, and even several fortresses had been constructed.
Many NPC residents had been trained and were now qualified as swordsmen, knights, and archers.
So the chances of failing the monster attack were virtually zero, whether Su Yu was in the territory or not.
