Chapter 392: Returning to the Game
Chapter 392: Returning to the Game
As Tina's figure gradually faded away, Su Yu fell into deep thought.
Tina was able to enter the real world because she possessed the [Divine Bloodline], which she inherited from her ancestor, Bernina Tides.
Does this mean that all descendants of the Tides family can enter the real world? And how can other NPCs in the game enter the real world? Do they also need to be baptized by Tina's blood, like Morningstar?
These questions could only be answered by entering the game.
"Whatever, I'll log in first. Things will fall into place eventually."
Su Yu lounged on the sofa, put on his helmet, and adjusted to a comfortable position before logging into the game.
Upon entering the game, Su Yu found himself standing in a charred wasteland.
The surroundings were littered with crumbling walls and ruins, and in the distance, he could hear the clash of swords, the cries of the injured, and the booming of ship cannons.
After surveying his surroundings and recalling what he had been doing before logging out, Su Yu realized he was in the Grantex Estate in Seaside City.
After all, the last thing he did before logging out was to self-destruct and kill the traitor Grantex.
As soon as he logged in, Su Yu's [Friend List] started beeping with notifications. His online friends were sending him private messages one after another.
True Red-Eyed Black Dragon: "CEO Ke, I watched your video last night, and you were amazing! (^O^) I'm so impressed!"
Su Yu simply replied with a smiley face.
Next was Winged Divine Dragon: "Welcome back, President! After the video of you going to Skrew Star was released last night, the entire territory was buzzing with excitement! The players are still celebrating in the city!"
Su Yu replied: "[Laughing Out Loud] Celebrate all you want, but make sure to push everyone to level up and gear up. Focus on improving your strength, not wasting time on meaningless activities."
Winged Divine: "Actually, they're not wasting time. The monster siege for the territory's promotion to a [Mid-Level City] is about to begin. The players are just using the downtime to celebrate before the monsters arrive."
Su Yu: "Oh? Is the promotion today? How are the preparations coming along?"
Winged Divine: "Of course, we've made all the preparations after careful consideration before deciding to promote. The main force for this siege is the [Scholar's Sanctuary], and the three Saint Realms of the Sanctuary will lead their subordinates into battle. We'll definitely succeed!"
Su Yu: "Private chat is a bit troublesome. Let's talk more when I return to the territory."
Winged Divine: "Sure thing."
Apart from True Red and Winged Divine, Little Tian also sent a private message.
Little Tian: "Kexing, you're finally back! (＾▽＾)"
Little Tian: "."
Little Tian: "Why aren't you replying to me? (；へ：)"
Little Tian: "If you don't reply, I'll get mad! (;｀O)o"
Su Yu: "[Sweat Drop] Little Tian, why are you also using emoticons like True Red? I was just talking to Winged Divine about the territory's promotion."
Little Tian: "The territory? I'm already in your territory preparing for the monster siege!"
Little Tian: "By the way, I forgot to tell you. After the territory's promotion, you can build three more 'Mage Tower' type structures, right? I applied to the relevant department and successfully secured one of the slots. Now I can also upgrade like you by burning materials!"
Su Yu: "Oh? [Surprised Face] That's great news! Congratulations!"
The three slots for the territory's promotion were all bought by the relevant departments at a high price, so he didn't expect Little Tian to get one too!
But then again, it made sense.
After taking the [Rooting Potion], Little Tian had become the strongest player, so it was reasonable for her to secure a slot.
After chatting with Little Tian for a few more minutes, Su Yu closed the private chat window and prepared to teleport back to the territory.
However, a distant cry of battle caught his attention.
Tiptoeing into the sky, Su Yu discovered that Sea Rock City was in the midst of a fierce battle.
Three factions were clashing within the city.
On the eastern side, the army of the Golden Fleur-de-lis Empire carried golden banners; in the southwestern part, the army of the Lien Empire wielded blue banners; and in the northwestern area, the Windchime Empire's forces flew green banners.
The armies of the three empires were engaged in a brutal struggle through the streets and alleys of Sea Rock City.
In the distant sea, over a dozen massive warships fired their cannons, bombarding the coastal defenses.
Above the city, two dozen high-level experts were locked in a tight battle, their struggle equally intense.
"What's the date today?" Su Yu opened the in-game official forum to check the time.
The forum showed the date as September 9th.
The second expansion was set to end on September 30th, meaning it was only halfway through.
No wonder the three empires were still at each other's throats.
However, when Su Yu left the game, Sea Rock City was under the control of the Lien and Windchime Empires. The fact that all three factions were now battling here indicated that the Golden Fleur-de-lis Empire had gained the upper hand during his absence!
"Since I'm passing by, I'll give you a little gift!"
Su Yu quickly flew toward the front lines, ready to slaughter some enemies to ease the pressure on his side and earn some battle credits in the process.
The players and NPC armies below, engaged in a brutal fight, were unaware of Su Yu's arrival.
They were coordinating their efforts to counter the enemy's assault.
The overall commander for the Golden Fleur-de-lis Empire in this battle was the leader of the Muyun Guild, known as [Cloud Enemy Shepherd].
At that moment, he was using [Invisibility] to stand atop the church spire, observing the battle and issuing commands to the player units below:
"Team 13, you must hold the street at coordinates (2234, 5489). Don't let the enemy break through!"
"Team 18, go support Team 23."
"Everyone, be careful! The Windchime Empire's [Swift Scout Teemo] is setting up another mushroom field. Avoid fighting in areas with dense mushrooms!"
Battle orders were relayed through various chat rooms.
Each player unit consisted of 100 people, and a total of 133 units were participating in this battle.
Of course, one person's energy was limited. Cloud Enemy Shepherd primarily commanded units 1 through 20, while other units had their own commanders, though he made the overall strategic decisions.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a powerful magical surge from above.
Looking up, he saw a woman in a light blue mage robe appear in the southwestern sky. Her hair was a mix of white and gold, and she was incredibly beautiful.
The female mage had already begun casting, and a massive, bright blue portal over twenty meters tall was rapidly forming in the sky.
Seeing this, Cloud Enemy Shepherd's pupils dilated in shock!
They had witnessed this scene a few days ago. Due to this female mage, the Golden Fleur-de-lis forces suffered a devastating blow in the previous battle. He never thought history would repeat itself today!
"Everyone, scatter quickly! This is the Lien Empire's [Jaina], and she's casting her ultimate ability, [Summon the Sea King's Wrath]! Those with survival skills, use them now! Those without, find cover! Don't get wiped out by the wave of magic missiles!"
While issuing the command in the chat room, Cloud Enemy Shepherd also leaped from the top of the church spire.
Jaina's ultimate ability could cover a significant portion of the city, and the church was within its range. Staying on the spire would mean certain death; he had to jump to save himself.
