Chapter 431: Azerite and the Marvelous Blueprint
Chapter 431: Azerite and the Marvelous Blueprint
"Think nothing of it," the pandaren Chen Sheng waved his hand with a gentle smile. "I have a letter here that I would like you, my young friend Kexing, to deliver to your country's Empress."
Chen Sheng reached into his robe and pulled out a letter, handing it to Su Yu.
He continued slowly, "According to the predictions of our great scholar, Zhou Zhuo, our nation will face a great calamity in one year. This calamity might cause us to be at odds with the entire world."
"So I would like to humbly request that your Empress exercise caution during this time, and I hope that our two nations will not come into conflict."
Su Yu nodded and accepted the letter.
The envelope was sealed with a magical seal, preventing Su Yu from seeing its contents.
However, after receiving the letter, he smiled at Chen Sheng and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, your nation has already discovered the 'Azerite Vein,' hasn't it?"
...
In the third expansion, "The Pandaren Empire," the main storyline revolves around:
The once peaceful and reclusive Pandaren Empire suddenly discovers a substance called "Azerite." This substance is the lifeblood of the planet, containing over 85% of its essence.
To draw a comparison, "Azerite" is akin to the "Psychic Spring" on Blue Star, a crucial resource of the world.
However, what makes Azerite unique is that it is only found in the Pandaren Empire. Other continents produce it in such small quantities that they barely account for 5% of the Pandaren's output.
As the saying goes, "An innocent man may be blameless, but he is guilty if he possesses a treasure."
From the very beginning of the expansion, the Pandaren Empire draws the attention of the entire world. Afterward, humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, trolls, tauren, and even deep-sea behemoths all eye the Pandaren with predatory intent.
They form a coalition to invade the Pandaren Empire, eager to divide and conquer the Azerite.
...
In fact, something similar has happened in the real world.
In the real world, Su Yu secured the largest "Cloud Ridge Psychic Spring" on the planet.
However, afterward, other nations united and declared, "The Psychic Spring does not belong to your country alone; it belongs to all of humanity." They demanded that Su Yu's government hand over the Psychic Energy extracted from the spring to be distributed among other nations.
This caused a great deal of tension.
It wasn't until the United States dissolved and Su Yu's government took the lead in forming the "Blue Star United Government" that these voices were silenced. This prevented humanity from falling into internal strife and ultimately perishing in the face of a major crisis.
Chen Sheng was taken aback by Su Yu's words.
"Azerite? You actually know about the Azerite Vein?" Chen Sheng looked at Su Yu in disbelief.
This was the nation's top-secret information! How did Su Yu know about it?
Su Yu smiled modestly and replied, "Ha, I am most skilled in the art of prophecy. I once used it to help the Elven Kingdom solve a severe case of plantification. Nothing in the world escapes my foresight."
"Is that so?" Chen Sheng was somewhat reassured.
However, a thought crossed his mind: "Should I eliminate Su Yu to protect the secret?"
But after some consideration, he dismissed the idea.
Su Yu was an interdimensional adventurer who could not be killed, only temporarily imprisoned using secret soul-binding techniques.
However, Su Yu's status was extremely high. If word of his imprisonment reached Empress Elise, she would personally demand his release, and the secret would still be exposed.
Just as Chen Sheng was hesitating, Su Yu spoke up clearly, "Master Chen Sheng, besides predicting the existence of Azeroite, I have also foreseen the future changes in the world's political landscape. Would you like to hear about it?"
"I'm all ears," Chen Sheng temporarily set aside his complex emotions.
"After the existence of Azeroite is revealed to the world, all races will unite to invade the Pandaren Continent, seeking to claim this resource."
Su Yu recounted the events from his previous life.
Chen Sheng's expression grew serious, as the prophecy of Master Zhou Zhuo and Su Yu's prediction were almost identical.
Although the Pandaren Empire was powerful, once the true value of Azeroite was known, war would be inevitable.
At the end of his speech, Su Yu added, "In gratitude for your gift, I will persuade the Empress to avoid military conflict with the Pandaren Empire in the future."
"Furthermore, we are willing to establish trade routes and exchange large quantities of resources and essential goods to help our Pandaren friends through this crisis."
At the beginning of the expansion, all factions in the world were frantically vying for Azeroite, including the Golden Rose Empire.
Coincidentally, the commander of the Golden Rose, Grantex, was the very one Su Yu had killed in a suicide attack.
However, by the end of the expansion, nearly every country discovered that the use of Azeroite had severe side effects. Overuse could cause serious illnesses, and even after recovery, there would be lingering aftereffects.
Ultimately, the world decided to seal all Azeroite veins as a solution.
Since Su Yu knew the outcome, and the Golden Rose Empire was in a state of recovery, why should he drag Alyssa into this mess? It was better to remain neutral and profit from the war.
Chen Sheng gave Su Yu a deep look, "So, young friend Kexing, what is the price?"
He felt that Su Yu had no reason to make such a promise unless he had something to gain.
"Hehe, actually, I've always been a huge fan of Pandaren culture. In my territory, I have two wonder buildings: the Pandaren Terracotta Army and the Temple of Heaven's Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests," Su Yu smiled. "I particularly love the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. May I ask if your country has any similar building blueprints? If you could give me a few, I would be extremely grateful and will do my best to persuade the Empress not to attack the Pandaren."
"Oh, that's what you mean," Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Building blueprints for wonders were not particularly valuable; they were often found in private collections and were far less valuable than the cloak he had just given to Su Yu.
"Alright," Chen Sheng readily agreed. "I'll look for any similar wonder blueprints when I return. From what I remember, there should be a couple of them. Once I find them, I'll have someone deliver them to you."
"Thank you, Master Chen Sheng!" Su Yu bowed deeply. "You can give these blueprints to an interdimensional adventurer named 'Thousand Cups Unfazed,' and he will pass them on to me."
"Very well, I will entrust them to him," Chen Sheng said solemnly. "Young friend Kexing, if you can truly persuade your Empress not to attack us, you will always be a friend of the Pandaren!"
"I am more than willing to be a friend of the Pandaren. Farewell, Master Chen Sheng!"
"Farewell, young friend Kexing!" The Pandaren Chen Sheng bid Su Yu farewell and vanished into the void with a staff in hand.
