Chapter 17: Epic Quest - Annie's Revenge
Chapter 17: Epic Quest - Annie's Revenge
"Wow, I didn't expect the early True Red-Eyed Black Dragon to be so polite," Su Yu was a bit surprised.
In his previous life, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon was a major player! The Blood Empire Guild owed at least 30% of its status as one of the top ten guilds in the country to him and his team. He never imagined that the early version of True Red-Eyed Black Dragon could be so adaptable.
"Alright, I forgive you," Su Yu replied. "But you have to tell the truth. Which guild are you from? I've dealt with Heaven's Blade before, and he doesn't have anyone like you under his command."
"Um," True Red-Eyed Black Dragon hesitated.
After a moment, he replied, "Sir, we are actually members of the Cloud Herding Guild. Our leader wants the skill scroll you're selling in the warehouse, but we don't have enough Psychic Coins, so we had to resort to this."
"Cloud Herding Guild?" Su Yu was amused.
He was very familiar with the Cloud Herding Guild because he was a member in his previous life.
The Cloud Herding Guild's parent organization was the offline Cloud Herding Group, one of the top thirty companies in the country, and the company where Su Yu worked.
In the aftermath of the disaster, the Cloud Herding Group sold all its physical assets and led all its members into the game Evolution. It was during this time that Su Yu first entered the game.
So when True Red-Eyed Black Dragon mentioned the "Cloud Herding Guild," he almost burst out laughing.
But he still replied seriously, "The Cloud Herding Guild, that's perfect! I have a good relationship with your leader, Cloud Herding Enemy. How about this, I'll teach you a method. If you do it well, I'll put in a good word with Cloud Herding Enemy, and you'll get a promotion and a raise!"
"Really? Thank you, sir! (≧▽≦)"
"=。="
Two minutes later, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon logged off.
Then he opened the official forum and wrote an emotionally charged post titled "Goodbye, Heaven's Blade, My Heart Is Truly Cold."
In the post, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon said he was originally a member of the Heaven's Blade Guild. Privately, he received a task from the guild leader, Heaven's Blade, to block the village entrance and collect fees.
He didn't want to do it; who would willingly do such a hated job?
But for the guild, he went through with it, willing to take the blame.
However, he was shocked when the guild leader, Heaven's Blade, privately messaged him, asking him to admit he was a member of the Cloud Herding Guild and to shift the blame to the innocent Cloud Herding Guild.
True Red-Eyed Black Dragon refused; his conscience wouldn't allow it.
So, he spilled everything.
At the end of the post, he wrote, "I never expected Heaven's Blade to be such a person! I must be blind! Now, I swear by my ID, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, that I will permanently leave the Heaven's Blade Guild and never have anything to do with them again!"
True Red-Eyed Black Dragon's post caused a storm on the forum!
The forum users laughed, never expecting such a dramatic turn of events, followed by another twist.
The members of the Cloud Herding Guild were stunned. How did this drama suddenly involve them?
The members of the Heaven's Blade Guild were shocked. Their leader had been doing such things behind their backs! No wonder they didn't know.
Heaven's Blade was furious. He checked the forum, wondering who this "True Red-Eyed Black Dragon" was! He had never seen such a shameless person!
In short, after True Red-Eyed Black Dragon's post, the original two-sided conflict gradually evolved into a multi-sided battle.
The Cloud Herding Guild seized the opportunity, regardless of the truth, and condemned Heaven's Blade's despicable actions.
Heaven's Blade, of course, denied it.
With the addition of trolls, impersonators, and sarcastic comments, the official forum became a chaotic mess.
But none of this mattered to Su Yu.
After logging back in, he headed straight for the Silver Snake Valley west of Nolan Village, ready to face the level 5 monsters, the Silver Snakes.
Standing in his territory, Su Yu prepared to max out the "Tear of the Goddess."
The Silver Snake Valley, being a Level 5 monster zone, naturally had no players around.
Thus, Su Yu unleashed his full power, sweeping through the area and targeting the silver snakes.
Lightning Arrow!
Fireball!
Spell after spell flew out.
-103
-64
-101
-63
Su Yu's Lightning Arrow remained formidable, capable of one-shotting Level 5 monsters.
However, the Fireball spell scrolls were now somewhat less effective, dealing an average of 62 damage, which wasn't enough to one-shot the Silver Snakes with 70 HP.
But Su Yu didn't mind. If one Fireball scroll wasn't enough, he could use two!
Under Su Yu's "money assault," his terrifying leveling speed continued.
The Silver Snakes in the valley suffered, falling like wheat stalks under his relentless attacks.
During his leveling, Su Yu also obtained a piece of equipment suitable for a Mage.
Windweave Belt (Level 5, Common): Defense +4
Unfortunately, he couldn't equip it yet, so he stashed it in his backpack.
Every time Su Yu cast a spell, the "Extra Mana" of the Tear of the Goddess increased by 3 points.
When dealing with the Imperial Blood Guild, Su Yu had already used his skills over thirty times.
After another ten minutes of leveling, having killed about 180 Silver Snakes, the Tear of the Goddess was finally maxed out!
Tear of the Goddess (Rare)
Accessory
Mana Cap +150
Trait: Mana Cap +450
The moment the Tear of the Goddess was maxed out:
Ding! Triggered Epic Hidden Quest: "Annie's Revenge." Accept?
Accept!
You have accepted the quest "Annie's Revenge (Epic)."
Quest Description: You used a trap in the cave to destroy Annie's beloved toy, Tibbers the Teddy Bear. Annie now harbors a deep grudge.
She has called upon her friend, the Star Guardian Dragon Aurelion Sol, to attack you.
Aurelion Sol, a noble dragon king, will not attack you a second time if he fails to kill you with his first strike.
Quest Requirement: Survive Aurelion Sol's first attack!
Aurelion Sol's arrival countdown: 5:59:56.
Quest Failure Penalty: Permanent Ban!
Quest Reward: Tear of the Goddess Upgrade, 1000 Experience Points, Main Quest: Glory of the Golden Rose Empire (0/100).
Su Yu carefully read through the lengthy quest description.
As he read, his mood rapidly changed.
At the beginning of the quest, Su Yu saw the phrase "used a trap in the cave to destroy," and he couldn't help but feel speechless.
He had never even entered that cave! The quest text should be updated.
But as he continued reading and saw the name Star Guardian Dragon Aurelion Sol, Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat.
Aurelion Sol was an incredibly powerful Level 84 NPC.
In the known game world, there were only twelve NPCs stronger than him.
In the outside world, there were only about fifteen Skrull star warriors stronger than him.
In other words, Aurelion Sol was one of the most powerful beings in the entire game!
And yet, such a powerful being was coming to the newbie village? To attack him?
Su Yu found it utterly unbelievable.
