Chapter 408: 35 Badges
The petite figure, of course, was Alyssa.
Based on the timing, she knew Su Yu would return at this moment, so she set aside her official duties and came to greet him, the empire's hero!
When Alyssa was still 200 meters away from Su Yu, she called out happily, "Kesing, you're back!"
"Yep, I'm back," Su Yu struggled to stand up, saluting Alyssa. "The mission was completed successfully, and we exceeded the goal by 120%!"
"Kesing, that's incredible!"
As they spoke, she had already covered the 200 meters and stood before Su Yu.
Alyssa looked at Su Yu's face with joy. Although Kesing wasn't exceptionally handsome, he was extraordinarily reliable!
She reached out her arms, ready to embrace the empire's hero.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened:
Alyssa wasn't the only one who had come. On her shoulder sat the kitten, Morningstar.
Morningstar, who didn't accompany Su Yu to the Lyon Empire (after all, she only had one life and couldn't afford to lose it), had stayed with Alyssa at the Golden Rose Palace.
Just as Alyssa was about to embrace Su Yu, Morningstar leaped from her shoulder and pounced into Su Yu's arms.
Su Yu quickly held Morningstar.
Morningstar nuzzled her chin against Su Yu's chest and then looked up at him with her adorable cat face. "Kesing, how are you? Are you hurt?"
She had seen Su Yu lying on the ground from a distance and was concerned about his health.
"I'm fine, Morningstar," Su Yu gently rubbed her head. "I just used up a lot of mana from the long-distance teleportation. I'll be fine after a bit of rest."
"Good," Morningstar sighed in relief and jumped onto Su Yu's shoulder.
Alyssa, standing opposite Su Yu, watched this scene: "."
Something didn't feel right!
Was Morningstar and Su Yu getting a bit too close?
Morningstar was her best friend, and Alyssa had given her to Su Yu for two reasons: to accelerate her growth and to prevent Tina and Su Yu from getting too close.
However, Tina had inexplicably distanced herself from Su Yu, while Morningstar and Su Yu's relationship had grown increasingly close, almost to an unnatural degree.
But this thought quickly vanished from Alyssa's mind.
What bad intentions could a little kitten have?
They were of different species, so what was there to worry about?
Alyssa pushed the thought aside and stepped forward, giving Su Yu a big hug. "Kesing, 120% over the goal means you brought back 60,000 tons of grain?!"
"Exactly."
"That's amazing!" Alyssa wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her face against Su Yu's chest, her eyes curved into two crescent moons.
The problem that had plagued her for two months was finally solved. Having someone like Su Yu was truly a blessing for the empire!
"By the way, Alyssa, what reward do you have for me? Can you tell me now?" Su Yu had always been curious about the mission reward and couldn't help but ask.
"Follow me!" Alyssa stepped back from Su Yu's embrace, winking at him. "You'll find out when we get back!"
At the central square of Golden Rose City.
Even before Su Yu's return, Alyssa had prepared a grand celebration for him.
The podium in the center of the square was covered with a red carpet, and the carpet was adorned with bouquets of flowers collected by the city's residents, turning the entire podium into a sea of flowers.
At the base of the victory platform, a large crowd of city residents and players who had rushed to complete tasks gathered, waiting with a mixture of joy and anticipation.
Soon, Alyssa and Su Yu appeared hand in hand, descending from the sky and landing on the platform.
A wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd. People waved to Su Yu and the beloved Empress, showing their admiration for the Empress and their deep respect for the returning hero.
"Everyone, I am Alyssa of the Golden Rose," Alyssa announced confidently from the platform. "I have some good news to share. This time, Su Yu's mission to the Lyon Empire has brought back 60,000 tons of grain, enough to sustain the 500,000 troops on the front lines for four and a half months! You no longer have to worry about the soldiers running out of food!"
"Long live the Empress! Long live Su Yu!" The crowd erupted with joy, shouting their praises to Su Yu and Alyssa.
Many in the crowd were moved to tears. Their children and relatives, who had joined the military, had been a constant worry due to the food shortage at the front. Now that the problem was solved, everything could return to normal!
Alyssa scanned the crowd with a regal gaze.
She then pulled out a medal made of mithril from her spatial ring and solemnly approached Su Yu, pinning it to his chest.
"Su Yu," Alyssa said earnestly, "this is the Golden Rose Military Merit Medal. Thank you for your efforts in this war!"
Su Yu received a game notification: "Ding, you have received a reward: Legendary Quality Accessory [Golden Rose Military Merit Medal] x1."
He didn't have time to check the medal's attributes and hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, Your Majesty. This is what I should do."
The crowd erupted again, filling the air with thunderous applause. Even the players who had been dragged in as extras felt envious. A medal of this level must be a very powerful accessory, right?
But Alyssa didn't stop there.
She smiled and pulled out another transparent pentagonal medal made of psychic stone. "This is the Golden Rose Star Medal, awarded for your contributions during the recent war to defend our nation! This medal was only completed while you were away, so I'm taking this opportunity to present it to you now!"
Alyssa carefully pinned the medal to Su Yu's chest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Su Yu bowed again.
The crowd erupted into applause once more.
Alyssa continued her gestures.
"This is the Forest City Campaign Medal, in recognition of your efforts in thwarting the traitor Sivan's plot!"
"This is the Sea Rock City Military Operation Cross Medal, for leading the imperial army on a long-distance raid that overthrew the enemy base of the Hills Federation! This is also a belated award."
"This is the Golden Rose Empress Coronation Commemorative Medal..."
"This is the Aurian City Campaign Medal..."
Alyssa kept pulling out various medals from her spatial ring and pinning them to Su Yu's chest.
In just a few minutes, she had awarded Su Yu a total of 35 medals, badges, and commemorative pins! They hung all over his upper body, the different materials clinking together with a pleasant sound.
Su Yu was completely stunned.
No wonder Alyssa said, "The reward will be something you can't guess."
Who could have imagined he would receive so many medals at once?
