Chapter 261: SSS Rating
Chapter 261: SSS Rating
This main storyline campaign saw the participation of 50,000 players, making it the largest in history!
It didn't take long for details about the campaign and the opposing sides to spread across the official forums.
When players learned that Su Yu had brought 15 fourth-rank enforcers on the mission, the forum erupted in shock.
Players began discussing the situation:
"This is too broken! Fifteen fourth-rank enforcers? There's no way the players can break through their defenses!"
"This is a dimensional-level takedown."
"Rebel players, beware! The big boss is coming!"
"Everyone, back out of the mission to stay safe. It's no disgrace to lose to Su Yu."
Rebel players who saw the news were left speechless.
Is this guy really bullying us?
Fifteen fourth-rank enforcers?
How are we supposed to fight this?
The actual situation of the campaign matched Su Yu's expectations:
The rebels had dispatched some NPC regular armies to join the battle.
However, these regular armies numbered only 1,000 men, and their leader, a centurion, was a peak second-rank warrior. The entire army didn't have a single third-rank strongman.
With the coordinated efforts of 15 fourth-rank enforcers, the empire's team cut through the battlefield like a bulldozer, eliminating any opposition in their path.
The Sardin Valley, Jade Sentinel Post, Danga Forest, and Algae City—each of these strongholds crumbled like paper under the empire's onslaught.
In every battle, the tank Merk and the paladin Gren always charged to the front, drawing the enemy's fire.
Behind them, the archer Mig and the mage Cathy unleashed a barrage of area-of-effect (AoE) spells, decimating the enemy ranks.
The priest Emily continuously cast healing spells, restoring the health of players on the brink of death.
The rebel players' attacks on Merk and Gren only resulted in minimal damage, often less than the automatic healing these two received.
Under the relentless high-rank AoE attacks, the rebel players were forced to retreat.
They complained in the temporary chat rooms they had set up:
"Is this even a game for humans? With those 15 high-rank enforcers, we can't even get close to the empire's players!"
"Whenever Su Yu joins, the mission changes completely."
"Before, Su Yu fought alone. Now, he brings a dozen high-rank enforcers. It's getting impossible to play."
"Sigh, if we run into Su Yu, we're just out of luck."
"Let's just quit. Don't waste your time."
"System notification: Player ToGetAHouseAtLevel50 has left the campaign."
"System notification: Player WhyAreYouChasingMe has left the campaign."
"System notification: Player NeonPrimeMinisterFujiwaraChihana has left the campaign."
Rebel players withdrew from the campaign in waves, while the empire's players, protected by the 15 fourth-rank enforcers, suffered almost no major casualties.
After six hours, the main force reached the towering walls of Oran City, with a survival rate of 90%!
Standing below the massive walls of Oran City, Su Yu received a system notification:
"System notification: Congratulations on completing this scenario campaign. Task evaluation is in progress."
"Task evaluation complete. Your rating for this scenario campaign is 'SSS'."
"Task reward: 4 Root Anchoring Potions. Additional reward: Please collect from Princess Alyssa."
Upon receiving the system notification, the empire's players erupted in cheers.
The rewards the players received were different from those given to Su Yu. The campaign was rated "SSS," and as a result, the players received a 50% increase in experience points and Psychic Coins. Additionally, they each received a random blue and green piece of equipment suitable for their class.
This was an unexpected windfall, and the players were overjoyed.
Old Li was also thrilled. He turned to Su Yu and said, "Boss Ke, your Fourth-Rank powerhouses are incredible! When we face a monster siege in our territory, could you send them over to help?"
"Of course, just let me know when you need them," Su Yu replied.
Then he addressed all the players, "Don't forget to turn in your quests to me! Missed deadlines won't be accepted."
During the large-scale campaign, Su Yu used the Princess's authority to issue side quests worth a total of 6000 experience points to the players. (It wasn't that Su Yu didn't want to assign more, but that was the maximum limit.)
Now, it was time to reap the rewards of experience.
"Got it, Boss Ke!"
The players responded, quickly gathering around Su Yu to turn in their quests.
The number of Experience Crystals in Su Yu's inventory steadily increased.
Once all the players had turned in their quests, the number rose from 50.25 million to 52.05 million, a gain of 1.8 million experience points! Seeing the overflowing experience, Su Yu was delighted, but he also felt a bit troubled.
What should he do with all this experience?
Su Yu himself couldn't use it; his level far exceeded the game's limits, making it impossible for him to benefit from the experience.
He could give it to other players, but that wouldn't be efficient at this stage. It would be better to wait until later in the game when players had no other means of gaining experience, maximizing the value.
Another option was to use the experience to level up his pet, the Howling Moon Wolf, Bai.
Bai was a First-Rank pet, currently at the peak of its rank. If he used the experience, Bai could break through to higher ranks, potentially reaching Third or Fourth Rank.
However, Bai's foundation was too weak, and leveling it up would be a waste.
If he truly wanted to enhance a pet, it would be more efficient to find a highly talented young dragon on Dragon Island after reaching Sixth Rank.
Considering all this, Su Yu decided to save the experience for when it would be most useful.
After the players turned in their quests, Su Yu waved goodbye and headed to the palace to report to the beloved Princess.
As for the 15 Fourth-Rank powerhouses, Su Yu instructed the little girl, Kacey, to lead them back to the territory.
In the grand hall of the palace, Su Yu met Princess Alysia smoothly.
Besides Alysia, Tina was also present.
Upon learning that Su Yu had successfully completed his mission and brought back 18,000 crates of supplies, both Alysia and Tina were astonished.
Tina's eyes sparkled with admiration, "Kex, you're amazing! 18,000 crates of supplies! That's way more than we expected!"
Alysia also praised, "Yes! Even bringing back a third of that, 7,000 crates, would have relieved our pressure. 18,000 crates mean we won't lack supplies for a long time!"
The Princess stood up and walked over to Su Yu, her eyes filled with a warm smile.
She took out a beautifully packaged wooden box from her spatial ring and handed it to Su Yu, "Kex, this is your reward for this mission. It contains four Root-Strengthening Potions. I hope they help you solidify your foundation and become a high-rank powerhouse soon!"
