Chapter 240: Harnessing the Power of the People
After Su Yu left, the Crimson Eye Black Dragon curiously glanced at the badge in Snow Leopard's hand.
Snow Leopard had no intention of hiding it and directly shared the badge's attributes with Crimson.
Crimson's eyes widened with envy as he read the badge's properties, especially "Trait 4." "Lucky you, Snow! Prince Krux giving you a territory means you're destined to become a high-tier powerhouse!"
"If you sold this badge in the United States, those big capitalists would probably offer half their fortune to get it!"
"Yeah, this favor is huge," Snow Leopard managed a weak smile.
He never imagined that the second territory in the game world would end up in his hands in such a way.
"We can't just accept such a significant favor without doing something in return for Krux!" Snow Leopard muttered to himself.
With that, he logged out on the spot, his figure vanishing at the entrance of the hall.
Seeing Snow Leopard log out, Crimson didn't think much of it. Reporting such an important matter to higher-ups was normal.
He opened various chat rooms and started boasting about Su Yu securing a 90 million Psychic Coin benefit for the players.
...
Twenty minutes later, in the Southeast Military District Command Center.
Zhang Feng, dressed in a neatly pressed military uniform, paced back and forth in front of the conference room door, looking somewhat troubled.
Soon, the conference room door opened.
A dozen officers and military advisors, dressed in various uniforms, hurried out.
They glanced at Zhang Feng standing by the door, nodded at him, and then rushed off to attend to their duties without a moment's delay.
From inside the conference room, Political Commissar Zhang's weary voice called out, "Zhang Feng, come in!"
"Sure, Commissar," Zhang Feng strode into the conference room.
Now, only Political Commissar Zhang was left in the room.
His face was pale, and he looked incredibly exhausted, having worked tirelessly for days without rest.
He glanced at the report in his hand, his expression brightening slightly as he looked up at Zhang Feng. "Zhang Feng, I just skimmed through the report you submitted. Krux really did gift you a territory?"
"Of course," Zhang Feng replied earnestly. "I've detailed the badge's attributes in the report."
"That's a huge boon!" Political Commissar Zhang rubbed his temples vigorously, the wrinkles on his forehead smoothing out. "With a territory, we can concentrate our resources to cultivate high-tier powerhouses. I might not trust others with this, but with you, I'm one hundred percent confident!"
Political Commissar Zhang rarely smiled, but now he did. "Zhang Feng, the state will focus all its resources on cultivating you. I hope you don't let us down!"
"Don't worry, Commissar. I know what to do," Zhang Feng answered solemnly.
After a pause, he continued, "Commissar, I came to report in person because I feel that we can't just accept such a significant favor from Krux without reciprocating."
"Oh? What do you plan to do to repay him? Marry your sister to him? If the organization agrees, go ahead with it!" Political Commissar Zhang said jovially.
"No, it's another way," Zhang Feng wiped his sweat and explained. "We need to gather magical creature materials for Krux. I propose we use the same level of publicity as when we announced the existence of the Skrulls, broadcasting it to all the people through video. This will help Krux the most."
"Isn't that a bit too much?" Political Commissar Zhang was taken aback.
Last time, announcing the Skrulls' existence required significant resources to ensure simultaneous publicity across all channels and within the game. There were many layers of bureaucracy to navigate. Was it really necessary to spend so much again for Krux's sake?
"Commissar, compared to the territory Krux gifted us, this is absolutely worth it."
Zhong Feng said seriously, "Moreover, during these critical times, we can frequently use this method to convey the most accurate information to the public, reducing panic within society. This will be nothing but beneficial!"
Zhang Zhenwei didn't respond immediately. Instead, he stroked his chin, deep in thought.
After about half a minute, he nodded and said, "Alright, during these critical times, let's do it again for the sake of the game!"
The relevant departments were highly efficient.
Two hours later, at noon.
Su Yu was at home, cooking instant noodles while browsing the information about ghosts sent by Xue Wenli.
Ever since the Skrull information was made public, almost all food delivery couriers had left the industry, causing food delivery platforms to shut down one after another.
To prevent riots, the government implemented wartime control measures, making it difficult to go out for a meal. So, Su Yu had to stockpile various flavors of instant noodles at home to get by.
But just as he was about to eat his noodles, his phone screen suddenly flashed and went black.
"Is it frozen?" Su Yu was taken aback and picked up his phone.
At that moment, the phone screen switched to a video feed—Zhang Zhenwei, dressed in a neat military uniform, was seated at a conference table, looking serious, just like in the beginning of the video where he announced the Skrull information!
"Has something big happened?" Su Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly focused on the phone screen.
At the same time, the video window popped up on everyone's phones, computers, and in the game, right in front of the players' field of view.
Everyone had the same reaction as Su Yu, their hearts tightening as they stared at Zhang Zhenwei on the screen.
Zhang Zhenwei paused for a few seconds, just like last time, before he slowly said, "Hello, everyone, I am Zhang Ling. We meet again."
"This time, we have a very important announcement. Let's watch a video first."
The video switched to a scene from the game, showing the city of Apshi, which players had built together. On the city walls, a large army stood ready; outside the walls, Claude, the lord of Oran City, led his forces in a massive assault.
The camera kept switching, and finally, the scene settled on a figure that wasn't particularly imposing.
Su Yu squinted and realized it was himself in the game!
Zhang Zhenwei's voice echoed in the video, "This player's game ID is 'Star Killer.' I'm sure everyone is already very familiar with him."
Upon hearing Zhang Zhenwei's words, everyone, both in the game and in reality, nodded in agreement.
Whether they played "Evolution" or not, most people knew about this top player.
Especially the two strategy guides Su Yu posted on the official forum. People had watched them many times, and even those who hadn't played the game could recite the guides by heart.
Zhang Zhenwei continued, "Thanks to the efforts of Star Killer and the 'Yellow Turban Army' guild, they have already built the first player-controlled territory in the game, and the core building, the 'Mage Tower,' is almost complete."
"Once the 'Mage Tower' is finished, Star Killer will be able to convert all the materials dropped by monsters in the game into experience points, rapidly advancing to become a high-level powerhouse."
"However, the current supply of monster materials in the game is not enough for Star Killer's advancement, and more materials are needed."
"So, I would like to ask everyone, when you enter the game, please prioritize going to leveling zones and dungeons to collect monster materials, and sell these materials to the 'Yellow Turban Army' guild and the 'Relevant Departments' guild, not to others."
"I hope everyone can work together, pooling the strength of the entire population to help Star Killer become a high-level powerhouse as soon as possible. Can everyone do that?"
