Chapter 422: The Persuaded Chancellor Cao
The power of the guild leaders was immense.
Their widespread dissemination of Su Yu's mission details spread across the internet like a thief in the night, leaving no one uninformed.
By nightfall, almost every player knew about this major event.
Players were both amazed by the significant changes "Reversing Time Flow" would bring to humanity and eager to contribute to Su Yu's mission.
Of course, there were also those who deliberately opposed and mocked the effort, much like the "hate groups" on Weibo and Tieba, who enjoyed making sarcastic comments and showing off their superiority.
In peacetime, no one would bother with them, but now, in these turbulent times, harsh measures were necessary.
As soon as these voices appeared, the relevant authorities traced their IP addresses and personally invited them for a "friendly chat."
The authorities were now very strict about controlling online public opinion, especially since some "surrenderists" had started to appear, forcing the authorities to take preventive measures.
Su Yu did not participate in the online discussions.
While he was still talking in the chat room, Bernina had already led them to the mayor's house in Noland Village.
"Phew~" After landing, Bernina stretched lazily, looking tiredly at Su Yu and his companions. "Alright, that's it for today. Come find me if you need anything!"
Before Su Yu and the others could respond, Bernina vanished into her house and slammed the door shut, her speed leaving them taken aback.
The three of them exchanged glances.
But they didn't stay stunned for long.
Alyssa walked up to Tina and wrapped her arm around Tina's, blinking at Su Yu.
"Counter, Tina and I have already agreed. Tina will return to the capital to assist me with the government, and I will reinstate her position. What about you?"
"Hmm..." Su Yu thought for a moment before answering, "I might as well go to the capital to help you with the government. Silvanas won't be here until the day after tomorrow, so I can spend these two days with you... and Tina."
"Great!" Alyssa let go of Tina's arm and ran over to Su Yu, hugging his arm.
Su Yu's response was exactly what she wanted to hear.
At the same time, a task notification sounded in Su Yu's ear.
" Ding! Triggered rare task: [Assist with Government Affairs]. Do you accept?"
"Accept."
" Ding, task accepted."
"[Assist with Government Affairs]"
"Task Requirements: Assist [Empress Alyssa] with government affairs for at least 3 hours. After the task, [Empress Alyssa] will score you based on your performance, with a maximum of 100 points."
"Task Rewards: (Cap rewards) Skill Scroll [Affinity to Lightning Spells] x1, [Mastery of Lightning Spells] x1, [Resistance to Lightning Spells] x1, Alyssa's Kiss x1."
After seeing the task rewards, Su Yu's lips twitched.
"Alyssa's Kiss?" he thought. Just as Tina had returned, Alyssa was already adding personal favors to the task.
Tina, unaware of Su Yu's thoughts, saw Alyssa hugging Su Yu's right arm and, almost involuntarily, came to Su Yu's side and hugged his left arm.
Seeing this, Chenxing immediately perked up!
She leaped from Alyssa's shoulder to Su Yu's, nudging his neck with her head.
Su Yu immediately felt like he was turning into a character—Mei.
With Chenxing, the blue-and-white kitten, on his shoulder, Su Yu genuinely felt like a scoundrel at that moment!
Back at the mayor's house, Bernina, lying on a swing and munching on beef jerky, sighed softly, "Being young is so great!"
In the following days, Su Yu, Alyssa, and Tina went to the Golden Sparrow Palace to handle government affairs, enjoying a rare few hours of peace.
But during these three hours, two major events unfolded on the distant planet Skrull.
At noon, on a vast ice field at the South Pole of Skrull, Prime Minister Cao stood as straight as a nail on the icy surface, gripping the ultra-artifact, the Hilt of the Thousand Admonitions Sword. The hilt glowed with an intensely bright blue light, and despite having fought for three days and nights, its brilliance remained undiminished.
However, Prime Minister Cao's condition was clearly deteriorating. The light enveloping his body flickered violently, and his face was deathly pale, showing signs of strain.
A thousand meters in front of him, eleven god-level beings floated in a straight line, their eyes fixed on him. Among them were five Skrull humans, four beastmen, and two deep-sea dragons.
Despite their overwhelming numbers, none of them dared to make a move.
Prime Minister Cao had warned them, "If you dare to attack, I will activate the self-destruct sequence of the ultra-artifact and direct all the heat generated into the ice cap below. When the ice melts and the sea levels rise, your people will all pay the price!"
This threat had a profound impact on the Skrull strongmen, and they all believed he could carry it out. If the polar ice caps melted, many coastal cities would be engulfed by tsunamis, a loss they could not afford.
Thus, they hesitated, discussing their next move.
It's worth noting that just two days ago, an extraordinary being from the Holy Silver Federation (beings at the planetary level or higher who can reshape their physical form, achieve immortality, and are known as extraordinary beings) announced via broadcast that he had taken the Blade of the Thousand Admonitions Sword.
With the ultra-artifact unable to be recombined, their strategy towards Prime Minister Cao had shifted significantly.
Previously, the Skrull god-level beings had been fixated on reclaiming the hilt, finding the blade, and ruling the world.
Now, with the blade gone, the Skrull people had other ideas.
After exchanging thoughts, Donald Plaunt, a god-level being from the Sunfire Empire, descended slowly towards Prime Minister Cao, activating all the attack modules on his mech.
"Humans," Plaunt said condescendingly, "After much deliberation, we have decided that if you surrender and join us, we will not only spare your life but also grant you the respect you deserve. Additionally, we will allocate a habitat for your people."
"Surrender?" The blue light around Cao flickered violently once more.
Cao was well aware that "surrender" was merely a delaying tactic by the Skrulls. If he agreed, they would not only kill him but might also turn him into a tool to fight against the humans of Earth.
However, Cao did not rush to refuse. He wanted to hear what conditions the Skrulls would offer.
So he calmly asked, "If I surrender, which area will you allocate as a habitat for our human race?"
"Australia on Earth," Plaunt replied without hesitation, enunciating clearly. "The rest of Earth will belong to us, but the entire Australian region will be designated as a reservation for your people. What do you think?"
