Chapter 260: This is Too Overpowered!
Chapter 260: This is Too Overpowered!
"Thanks a lot, Old Li! If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have thought of this," Su Yu expressed his gratitude.
"No problem, no problem," Old Li waved it off with a smile. "Since the issue is resolved, let's discuss the next mission, shall we?"
"Sure, what do you have in mind?" Su Yu asked.
"Well, I think..." Old Li pondered for a moment before continuing, "I think it's best if we split up and each player transports the supplies back on their own. The enemy players outnumber us significantly."
In the guild where Old Li was a member, quite a few players had joined the rebel faction. According to the messages posted in the guild channel, the rebels had recruited 30,000 players, which was 50% more than their side.
Old Li copied the relevant information from the guild channel and forwarded it to Su Yu.
He then explained, "Although our players have a higher equipment level, the rebels have 30,000 players, and some regular troops have joined the mission. I think it's better to avoid a direct confrontation and act independently."
"The more we spread out, the harder it will be for the enemy to catch us all at once, and we can transport more supplies back."
Su Yu read through the private message Old Li had sent and nodded. "Spreading out is a good idea, but I don't plan to use that strategy. I intend to have all the players stick together and charge through with one big push!"
Old Li's suggestion to spread out was indeed a good idea, but it had a significant drawback—the mission completion rate wouldn't be very high, at best just passing.
A low mission completion rate meant Su Yu wouldn't be able to obtain all four bottles of the Root Anchor Elixir, and he couldn't accept that.
To ensure a high mission completion rate, he had to bring out his trump card!
...
"All the players sticking together?!" Old Li's eyes widened, and his voice rose an octave. "Are you crazy? The enemy has 30,000 players and some regular troops! If we face them head-on, we'll be completely wiped out!"
"Don't worry, I'm here," Su Yu said with a confident smile.
"You?"
Old Li sized up Su Yu. "I admit you're strong, a fourth-stage powerhouse. But do you really think you can make up for the difference of 10,000 players plus regular troops?"
Old Li suddenly felt concerned. Had Su Yu become too overconfident because of his smooth sailing in the game?
Su Yu, however, was unfazed. "Don't worry about that! The rebels won't have any fifth-stage powerhouses, and the chances of having a fourth-stage powerhouse are very low. They might only have one or two. As long as the rebels don't have too many fourth-stage powerhouses, we'll win for sure!"
"But there's only one fourth-stage powerhouse, and as the saying goes, 'one fist can't fight four hands.'"
"Who said there's only one fourth-stage powerhouse?" Su Yu countered.
He then opened his private chat interface and sent a message to the Wyvern Dragon.
Fifteen minutes later, at the west gate of Pearl City, a deep blue Teleportation Portal suddenly appeared.
Moments later, the little girl Kathy and her father, Mark, stepped out of the portal.
But it wasn't just them; another dozen figures emerged from the portal, all fourth-stage powerhouses!
"Respected Lord!" The dozen fourth-stage powerhouses knelt before Su Yu, bowing respectfully.
These powerhouses were talents from Su Yu's territory, including Kathy and her father, a total of 13 rare-quality talents and 2 epic-quality talents.
Most of these talents were recruited by the little Sky Dragon at the Tavern.
Among the cards drawn, some were boosted to rare quality by Su Yu using the Glory of the City Defender accessory.
After his territory was upgraded to a City, the highest level of talent within his domain could reach the Fourth Rank. They had been training in the wild, so Li Lao had no idea they existed.
Seeing the rows of powerful figures kneeling before Su Yu, feeling the terrifying energy emanating from them, all the players, including Li Lao, were utterly astonished.
"Damn! This is insane! A row of Fourth Rank powerhouses!" a player named My Wife is Kaguya gaped in awe.
"Ke Zong, can the talents from your territory participate in this mission as well?" another player called Uma Musume asked.
Su Yu smiled and replied, "Of course, the talents in a player's territory are part of their strength. If it weren't for the fact that Cathy's portal can't transport so many people, I could have brought my entire army!"
"This is completely unbalanced!" Li Lao looked at the dozen or so Fourth Rank powerhouses, unsure of what to say.
The Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon chimed in, "This isn't just unbalanced; it's a bug! Ke Zong's dozen or so subordinates could probably take on tens of thousands of players. I feel sorry for the rebel players who have to face someone like Ke Zong, a true boss!"
Su Yu chuckled.
Actually, the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon was right. Bringing a team of Fourth Rank talents to a mission in the first expansion was indeed a bug.
This situation shouldn't have happened.
Under normal circumstances, players wouldn't receive territories until the second expansion. (Tina gave Su Yu the Unicorn accessory because he completed his tasks with extremely high completion and had a high favorability rating, which is something most players couldn't achieve.) The time when players would upgrade their territories to a City would be around the end of the third expansion.
By then, players would have reached the peak of the Third Rank, and having some Fourth Rank talents in their territories would be normal and wouldn't significantly affect the game's balance.
But Su Yu's existence completely shattered this balance.
Using unconventional means, he obtained his territory, the Jade Dragon Statue, and the Temple of Heaven early on. He could even spend ten million Spirit Coins daily, ultimately putting him several versions ahead of other players.
His territory had already reached the City stage, and bringing 15 Fourth Rank powerhouses to a mission in the first expansion was undoubtedly a bug within a bug!
What was even more terrifying was that Su Yu hadn't even fully exploited this overwhelming advantage.
If his territory had primarily focused on military technology, he could have mass-produced aircraft, tanks, and even missiles by now!
In that case, the entire main storyline would have been drastically altered due to Su Yu's territory, making it a true bug!
"Li Lao, with these powerhouses from my territory, we should be fine for a direct confrontation, right?" Su Yu smiled at Li Lao by his side.
"Heh heh." Li Lao forced a laugh. "More than fine. With your subordinates on the battlefield, we probably won't even need to lift a finger, just cheer them on from the back."
"Then it's settled."
Su Yu turned to the other players behind him. "Everyone, it's getting late. Let's set out!"
"Sure thing, Ke Zong!"
"Got it, Ke Zong!"
The players exuded a strong sense of confidence as they followed Su Yu westward on the main road.
