Chapter 198: The Lord's Mansion of Auror City
Chapter 198: The Lord’s Mansion of Auror City
"Sure, if you’re 18, I’ll consider it. When you turn 18, I’ll agree to be your boyfriend," Su Yu replied straightforwardly.
Sky Dragon was only 14 now. By the time she turned 18, humanity might already be extinct! No need to worry about that far ahead.
"It’s a deal! Come on, pinky promise." The little girl extended her pinky finger to Su Yu.
"Pinky promise." Su Yu also extended his pinky and hooked it with hers.
"Then it’s settled. From now on, you’re my boyfriend!" Sky Dragon wrapped her arms around Su Yu’s arm and nuzzled him affectionately.
But then, she seemed to have a thought.
"So, as your future girlfriend, shouldn’t I get some special privileges?" she asked.
"What do you have in mind?" Su Yu had a bad feeling about this.
"Of course, I need to go toe-to-toe with Dave. I’m the one and only now!"
Sky Dragon leaped onto the back of the howling wolf: "Shirley, let’s go! We’re going to face Dave!"
"Roar~" The howling wolf howled and carried the little girl off toward the village’s southern side at a breakneck speed.
Su Yu: "..."
Watching the little girl’s retreating figure, his lips twitched, unsure of what to say.
After the refugee recruitment was complete, the players in the recruitment team brought all the refugees back to the village and settled them in.
At that moment, all the players in the territory received a system announcement:
"[Apex Village] has reached a population of 400 and has successfully been upgraded to a [Large Village]. The expansion of the village area has encroached on the surrounding monsters’ living space. In 30 minutes, some monsters will attack Apex Village. Please prepare your defenses!"
"The average level of the attacking monsters is [12], with a total of [1,333] monsters. This includes [1,200] regular monsters, [120] elite monsters, [12] boss monsters, and [1] excellent boss monster. Countdown begins: 29:56."
Upon seeing the announcement, many players’ eyes lit up:
"Monster siege? Another monster siege?"
"This time there are 200 more monsters, and their levels are 2 higher, but it’s not a huge increase in difficulty."
"Last time, I got a lot of monster materials and equipment. I hope this time will be just as rewarding."
"Everyone, grab your weapons and get ready to fight!"
During a monster siege, the drop rate for equipment and materials is doubled, and all the players were eager to get started.
Su Yu didn’t take this monster siege seriously.
The strength of this siege wasn’t high. Just over 1,000 level 12 monsters weren’t a significant threat. Even without the guild players, the crowd of players at the Qiniandian Temple would be enough to handle them.
What Su Yu was truly concerned about were the monster sieges that would come after the territory was upgraded to a [Town].
Those sieges would involve much higher-level monsters, several or even dozens of levels higher than the players. With such a significant level gap, it would be nearly impossible to win by sheer numbers alone. They would need the help of NPC armies.
That’s when Su Yu’s connections would come into play.
...
But Su Yu wasn’t going to sit idly by.
He opened his private chat and entered the [Red Spine Mountain Camp Intelligence Collection Team] chat room.
This chat room was created during the 25th quest in Tina’s line and had never been disbanded. Players like [Neon Nuclear Wastewater] and four others were still in it.
Entering the chat room, Su Yu went straight to the point:
"Nuclear Wastewater, you five have seen the game announcement, right?"
"Of course, we’ve seen it." Nuclear Wastewater replied quickly, adding a "surprised" emoji, clearly not expecting Su Yu to speak up at this moment.
"For this monster siege, you five will assist me in commanding the battle. After the siege is over, I'll tell you about some hidden quests with generous rewards, so you can obtain high-quality equipment and skills to catch up with the elite players of the major guilds."
Over the past two days, Su Yu observed that the Wastewater Five had good strength and excellent teamwork, so he decided to focus on training them.
Su Yu knew of many low-level hidden quests with excellent rewards. These rewards were not necessary for him, but he could use them to reward the Wastewater Five and cultivate them into an elite squad.
"Alright, Guild Leader, we'll do our best to complete the tasks!" Wastewater quickly assured him.
"Come to me at the village entrance in the west. We can also change the name of this chat room to [Monster Siege Command Center]."
"Now, each of you create a hundred-person chat room and pull in all the players from the guild, organized by class. Once the monster siege begins, I'll issue orders in this chat room, and you'll relay them to the other chat rooms."
Su Yu began assigning tasks, preparing for the upcoming monster siege.
The reason for creating five chat rooms instead of using the guild channel directly was that the guild channel was already being used by the Winged Dragon for various construction commands. To avoid confusion, they had to open separate chat rooms.
While the construction of Apshi Village was in full swing, 40 kilometers to the west, in the mayor's office of Auran City.
In a large meeting room within the mayor's office, Mayor Claude Strayf sat at the head of the table, casually sipping a cup of strong tea.
Four senior advisors sat in the positions below him.
Mayor Claude took a sip of his tea, set the cup down, and asked, "How is the investigation into the interdimensional adventurer [Nemesis] coming along?"
"My lord, we have thoroughly investigated Nemesis's background and reviewed the intelligence department's report," the lead advisor stood up and respectfully replied.
"Oh? Then please summarize it for me."
"Of course." The advisor organized his thoughts and began to speak slowly, "Nemesis is currently a first-tier mage. Four months ago, Nemesis attracted the attack of a seventh-tier peak powerhouse, the Star-Casting Dragon King, in Noland Village. He then brought a personal letter from the village chief to Golden Rose City to meet with the princess. In the battle above Kasei Town, Nemesis used a [Sixth-Tier Temporary Experience Scroll] to transform into a sixth-tier powerhouse and successfully rescued the princess."
The advisor detailed Su Yu's in-game experiences.
Mayor Claude did not interrupt, sipping his tea and listening quietly.
When the advisor finished, he set down his tea cup and slowly clapped his hands, "Impressive! Impressive! To have such an experience in just a few months, this Nemesis is no simple character!"
The advisor smiled and said, "My lord, does this mean you won't target Nemesis? After all, he saved the princess and is close to Commander Tina."
"Of course... not!" Claude's expression suddenly turned cold, and he picked up a precious porcelain cup from the Pandaren Empire, crushing it with a powerful grip. "He must be taught a lesson. I cannot let him think that I, a respected mayor, am weak and easily bullied!"
Claude's sharp gaze swept over all the advisors, "I know the characteristics of interdimensional adventurers. They don't truly die; they will revive shortly after death."
"Gentlemen, if I want to teach Nemesis a lesson, apart from repeatedly killing him, what other methods can we use?"
