Chapter 29: It's Time to Guide the Players Back on Track
The storm on the forum continued to escalate.
Before long, Zhan Tian Jian posted a thread using his own ID, accusing the Imperial Blood Guild of summoning the Dragon King boss, which led to the crisis in the newbie village.
"Imperial Blood must take responsibility for the deaths of over a thousand players!" Zhan Tian Jian declared.
At the same time, Zhan Tian Jian provided crucial evidence from a few hours earlier, showing Imperial Blood players impersonating his guild and collecting "entry fees" from new players.
Of course, the Imperial Blood members refused to admit it, and a fierce battle of words ensued on the official forum.
As a rich second-generation, Di Xue Shi Tian was adept at "buying shills and controlling public opinion."
With the power of money, a large number of shills flooded the official forum.
Even with solid evidence, Zhan Tian Jian was still overwhelmed by the shills, and his thread was buried under a barrage of insults.
The official forum became a chaotic mess.
Seeing the disorder, Su Yu furrowed his brow and closed the forum page.
After this battle of words, the Imperial Blood Guild's reputation would undoubtedly suffer a significant blow.
Combined with their repeated setbacks in the game, the Imperial Blood Guild would not develop as smoothly as in his previous life.
However, Su Yu had a broader vision.
His ultimate goal in suppressing the Imperial Blood Guild was to combat the Skrulls.
While he had already limited the guild's development, the process had also produced some negative effects.
For example, hundreds of innocent players who were just spectating on the square were caught in the crossfire. Additionally, the official forum had attracted a lot of attention, causing many players to neglect leveling up and instead engage in endless bickering on the forum.
He needed to find a way to redirect the players' attention to "improving their strength and leveling up quickly" rather than wasting time on the forum.
What should he do?
Su Yu fell into deep thought.
After about five minutes, a spark of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"I've got it!"
Five minutes later, Su Yu's mind was alight with a brilliant idea: "I remember that the first completion of a Level 5 dungeon grants a server-wide announcement!"
Perhaps through the "loudspeaker announcement" following the server-wide announcement, he could guide the players back on the right path!
With this thought, Su Yu no longer hesitated.
He activated his [Ice Shield] and strode toward the spot where the mayor had fallen.
It had been 15 minutes since the [Star-Casting Dragon King] left, and the remnants of its breath attack had largely dissipated from the square.
However, the remaining traces were still formidable.
Stepping on the ground that had been eroded by the breath attack, Su Yu's head occasionally displayed small damage numbers like "-5" and "-8."
But with 208 shield points, his [Ice Shield] was more than capable of handling it.
Reaching the mayor's side, Su Yu found Mayor Aimon lying on the ground, gasping for breath. Blue, corrosive substances were still eating away at his skin.
Su Yu couldn't do much to help the mayor; he wasn't a healer and had no healing spells or potions.
But he still squatted down and asked with concern, "Mayor Aimon, do you need me to call a physician from the village?"
"No, I can hold on," the mayor struggled to sit up.
Su Yu quickly extended a hand to help him.
Once the mayor was sitting upright, he looked up at Su Yu. "Adventurer, if I'm not mistaken, the 'Star-Casting Dragon King' was summoned by you, wasn't it?"
The mayor's gaze seemed to pierce through everything as he stared at Su Yu.
"Yes, it was me. But this incident started with Annie."
Su Yu didn't hide anything and recounted the latter half of the [Tear of Goddess Savia] quest in detail.
Village Chief Aimon listened intently.
When he finished, he sighed, "Sigh! It was me who asked Sam to adopt Annie. I always knew she was special, but I never imagined it would come to this."
"Here’s what we’ll do, adventurer. Take this matter to the Empress Alizetta and let her decide our next steps."
"However, the Empress is not someone we common folk can just meet. To see her, you need to prove your worth, such as by bringing the head of the Howling Moon Wolf King as proof of your strength."
Village Chief Aimon continued to ramble on.
At the same time, Su Yu’s quest log updated.
"Ding! Congratulations, you’ve triggered the main storyline quest, 'Glory of the Golden Rose Empire'!"
"Glory of the Golden Rose Empire (1/100)"
"Quest Requirements: Reach level 10 and participate in the defeat of the level 10 boss, Howling Moon Wolf Leader, to obtain the quest item, 'Head of the Howling Moon Wolf King.'"
"Quest Rewards: 1 Best Horse in the Village (Mount), 1 Best Sword in the Village (Consumable), 2000 Experience."
In Evolution, players can ride mounts once they reach level 10, and it was surprising to receive one as a reward for the first part of the main storyline. Not bad at all!
As for the Casting Dragon King Aurelion Sol that had flown by earlier, if a player was strong enough, they could force it to become their mount. However, no one had ever managed to do so.
"Don’t worry, Village Chief. I’ll make sure to slay the Howling Moon Wolf King as soon as possible!" Su Yu promised.
"Good luck, adventurer! May the Empress’s light be with you!"
Village Chief Aimon nodded at Su Yu and then went to greet the other players.
After bidding farewell to the Village Chief, Su Yu headed to the area where the level 8 monsters, Woodland Gray Bears, were located.
[Woodland Gray Bear lv8]
Health: 120
Su Yu had only one goal now—reach level 5 as quickly as possible.
After reaching level 4, Su Yu had killed over a hundred level 5 Silver Snakes, earning 510 experience points. He then defeated a Silver Snake boss for 50 experience points, completed the "Tina’s Struggle" quest for 2250 experience points, and the "Annie’s Revenge" quest for 1000 experience points.
To level up from 4 to 5, he needed 4000 experience points. He was now only 190 points away from leveling up!
"Level 5, here I come!"
With that thought, Su Yu fired a [Lightning Arrow] at the gray bear.
---
101
A pale blue damage number appeared above the gray bear’s head.
The bear was not instantly killed.
[Woodland Gray Bear] had high defense, and being four levels higher than Su Yu, it reduced the damage of his [Lightning Arrow] by half.
Enraged by the attack, the [Woodland Gray Bear] roared and charged at Su Yu.
However, Su Yu was prepared. With a wave of his hand, he tossed a [Fireball Spell] scroll.
---
33
The [Woodland Gray Bear’s] health bar emptied, and it whimpered as it fell to the ground.
"Ding! You have slain [Woodland Gray Bear lv8]. Reward: 8 experience points, 1 [Gray Bear Paw]."
Su Yu quickly calculated that each gray bear gave 8 experience points. That meant he only needed to kill 23 more gray bears to level up.
With that in mind, Su Yu didn’t hold back.
One by one, [Lightning Arrows] shot out from his hand.
Lightning chains crisscrossed and spread.
Fireballs activated from the scrolls.
One by one, gray bears fell at his feet.
Experience points accumulated, gradually filling his experience bar.
Finally, after slaying 23 gray bears, a golden light flashed, and Su Yu’s level reached 5!
