Chapter 299: Main Quest 76-85
Chapter 299: Main Quest 76-85
After chatting about some less important topics, Su Yu took the elevator back to his home.
His mood had become somewhat somber.
In his previous life, he was a Fourth-Class Mage and had once had the idea of venturing into the Skrull Star, accepting whatever fate might bring. However, there were far too many people with the same idea, and the queue was so long that he never got his chance.
The situation back then was strikingly similar to what Old Zhu and Chancellor Cao were facing now!
Back in the game, Su Yu's figure appeared at the entrance of the Imperial Princess's palace.
Before he could think about what to do next, he received a game notification:
"Chime! Your main quest [Golden Sparrow Empire] Phase Four has been activated. Please head to the East City Training Ground at coordinates (3376, 2564) to start the quest."
Without hesitation, Su Yu mounted Tima and headed toward the quest coordinates.
At the East City Training Ground:
Tina stood at the front of the main platform, wielding a massive two-handed sword made from golden dragon scales and wearing golden armor, looking formidable and majestic.
Princess Alyssa, dressed in an extremely luxurious red outfit, stood behind Tina.
Behind Alyssa were over a dozen other high-ranking generals.
Below the platform, the imperial NPC army stood in neat ranks, and a vast sea of players who had received the quest filled the area, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Alyssa scanned the crowd below and spoke with a voice of extreme solemnity and authority:
"Soldiers! The rebel leaders, Lantis and Anzu Sefer, have been defeated, and the high-ranking rebels have all surrendered. What is our next goal? Speak loudly!"
"Healthy teeth!" a player immediately shouted, causing a ripple of laughter among the player community.
The NPC soldiers, unaffected, chanted in unison, as if they had rehearsed: "Our goal is to reclaim lost territories, unify the nation, and make all traitors pay!"
"Very good!" Alyssa nodded in approval.
She then waved her hand, and a pure white metal token, seemingly made of mithril, flew from her spatial ring into Tina's hand.
"Grand Marshal, give the order!"
"Understood!"
Tina held her sword in her left hand and raised the token high with her right, shouting, "Now, listen to my command! March out, all troops!"
"Understood! For the empire, for Princess Alyssa!"
The soldiers roared in unison and marched out of the city under the lead of their high-ranking officers.
Although the players were numerous, they quickly made way for the advancing army.
At this moment, Su Yu received a quest update notification:
"Chime! Your main quest [Golden Sparrow Empire (76-85/100)] has been updated."
"Quest Requirement: Reclaim the majority of the Golden Sparrow Empire's territories."
"Quest Reward: Random reward based on completion."
The next 10 stages of the quest were straightforward.
The imperial army marched north after leaving the city, achieving victory after victory with overwhelming force.
In just 8 days, the imperial army had reclaimed Forest City (Stages 76-77).
The defending forces of Forest City offered no significant resistance and surrendered one after another.
After another 16 days, the imperial army planted the victory flag on the walls of the capital, Golden Sparrow City (Stages 78-80).
The citizens of the city rejoiced as they returned to the empire's embrace.
32 days later, the strongholds of the two dukes, Maple City and Rock City, fell one after the other, leading to the complete destruction of their families (Stages 81-85).
By the end of Stage 85, the majority of the empire had been reclaimed.
Throughout the process of reclaiming the nation, the imperial army fought over twenty battles, large and small.
Forest City and the capital, Golden Sparrow City, were easily reclaimed.
But the noble factions in Maple City and Boulder City were well aware that even if they surrendered, they wouldn't escape retribution. As a result, their resistance was fierce.
Of course, they ultimately couldn't avoid defeat and the loss of their lives.
Su Yu was always at the forefront of these battles.
He needed a large amount of military credits to exchange for "Tina's Blood," so he was particularly active on the battlefield, doing his utmost to earn those credits.
After capturing Maple City and executing the Seifer family, he finally accumulated enough military credits to exchange for the remaining 386 drops of "Tina's Blood" stored with the quartermaster.
He also used his leftover military credits to help guild players exchange for a good amount of rare and epic-quality equipment and potions.
Moreover, Su Yu didn't forget to leverage his good relationships with Tina and the princess to assign large-scale side quests to the players under their names.
By completing these side quests, the players gained a significant amount of experience, increasing the total experience points in the "Experience Crystal" from 53.54 million to 64.89 million. This gave Morningstar, his magical companion, millions more "cat food" points.
Speaking of Morningstar, there was a small incident that occurred during this time.
Su Yu spent about three hours each day on the main storyline, and the rest of his time was mostly dedicated to cultivating at the mage tower, aside from the time he spent nurturing his relationships with the princess and Tina.
On the day they reclaimed Forest City, Su Yu brought Morningstar back to the mage tower for cultivation.
On the third floor of the mage tower, the little girl Katie moved a large number of monster materials from downstairs, sorted them, and placed them into the magic pool as Su Yu requested.
Su Yu sat cross-legged next to the magic pool, absorbing the purified magic energy it refined.
Morningstar lounged lazily by Su Yu's side, absorbing the energy stored in the "Experience Crystal."
Morningstar's strength recovered rapidly. In just one day, it leveled up from level 2 to level 10, matching the combat power of ordinary monsters at levels 30 to 40.
Noticing that Morningstar had reached level 10, Su Yu paused his cultivation and asked curiously, "Morningstar, what's your second form at level 10? Why won't you let me see it?"
"Pfft, no way!" Morningstar turned its head away, ignoring Su Yu.
Su Yu chuckled and didn't say anything, activating the magic array below to continue his cultivation.
But then, he suddenly received a game notification that someone had rung the doorbell at his home, indicating a visitor.
So Su Yu said to Morningstar, "Someone's here in the real world. I'll be offline for a bit, but I'll be back soon."
Just a moment ago, Morningstar had been lounging lazily, but upon hearing Su Yu's words, it immediately perked up and leaped onto Su Yu's shoulder. "You're going offline? I'm coming too! I haven't finished the mobile game I started last night!"
"Mobile game?" Su Yu was exasperated.
Morningstar had been playing until 4 a.m. the previous night, and apparently, she had been doing more than just researching online.
However, Su Yu didn't dwell on this issue. "It might just be a delivery. I'll be back in a few minutes."
"A few minutes is still time! Hurry up!" Morningstar activated the diamond-shaped rune on her forehead and entered Su Yu's pet space.
Su Yu was helpless with this "internet-addicted kitten" and could only choose to take her offline with him.
Back in the real world.
As soon as Su Yu took off his helmet, Morningstar darted out of the pet space and pounced on Su Yu's phone, which was lying on the bed, more enthusiastically than she ever did for fish treats.
Seeing this, Su Yu shook his head in exasperation. This cat was really beyond saving.
At that moment, a knock came from the front door, accompanied by a clear, childish voice: "Hello, is anyone home? Is Kexing living here?"
