Chapter 449: Spending 2.5 Billion in 3 Hours
Chapter 449: Spending 2.5 Billion in 3 Hours
"The effects are indeed not very noticeable," Su Yu admitted honestly. "But I still have a hundred billion Psychic Coins. With these coins, I can easily boost my strength to the Legendary Seventh Rank."
Alyssa flicked her hair and said, "How about this: I'll issue an edict to have all major forces, like the Silver Pine Spire, the Elemental Dome, the Mercenary Guild, and the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in Pearl City, assist you. They will try to provide you with all the high-tier materials you need."
Tina also chimed in softly, "During my free time from handling state affairs, I'll also help you gather some Sixth-Rank materials. I can hand them over to you as mission rewards later."
"Thank you!" Su Yu was deeply grateful for their support.
He really wanted to step forward and hug them both, giving each a kiss, but doing so would make him a despicable man. He was momentarily stuck in an awkward position.
For the next three hours until he logged out, Su Yu left the palace and traveled around the world to purchase the necessary materials.
In Golden Fleur City, at the headquarters of the Silver Pine Spire, in the Vault.
"I need the Sixth-Rank Horn of the Thunder Lizard King," Su Yu said to the elderly wizard in charge of the Vault.
"Apologies, Lord Kesheng," the old wizard bowed, looking troubled. "The Horn of the Thunder Lizard King is a treasured artifact in our collection and is generally not for sale. Even if it were, according to our rules, a very high contribution would be required."
Su Yu didn't respond directly but turned to the back and said, "Lord Roland, could you let me have this treasure? I'm willing to pay a high price."
From the void, the voice of Roland, the Master of the Tower, replied calmly, "If Lord Kesheng wants it, I have no reason to refuse. I can give it to you for free."
"I don't want anything for free," Su Yu smiled and shook his head. "The market value of the Horn of the Thunder Lizard King is about 3 million Psychic Coins. Since it's such a rare item, I'll pay 3.5 million. Remember to deliver it to me."
Su Yu took out a black crystal card, input 3.5 million, and handed it to the smiling old wizard.
In the next second, Su Yu's figure quickly disappeared from the spot.
But his voice lingered in the air, "Lord Roland, don't use your clones to play such boring tricks anymore. It's really uninteresting."
The old wizard's face turned blank as he held the crystal card.
In Pearl City, at the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce headquarters, on the second floor, in a clean room.
A plump middle-aged merchant fawned over Su Yu, "Lord Kesheng, your presence truly brings glory to our humble abode, as the Pandaren would say! You are like..."
"Stop right there," Su Yu interrupted him. "I need the feathers of a Sacred Firebird, 200 in total."
"Hehe, the feathers of a Sacred Firebird are the top-tier Sixth-Rank fire materials. You truly have good taste," the middle-aged merchant opened his mouth and started babbling.
"Cut the crap. Tell me the price. Don't waste my time," Su Yu glared at him.
Although Su Yu's words were harsh, the merchant wasn't the least bit offended.
For a merchant, an impatient customer is much better than one who just looks around without buying anything.
"Two hundred feathers would cost 10.4 million Psychic Coins. That's already the lowest price," he quickly answered.
"6.4 million."
Su Yu immediately cut the price by a third.
The merchant was taken aback, "That price is really putting me in a tough spot."
"Are you selling or not?" Su Yu stood up as if to leave. "If you don't, I'll go to the Evergold Rose next door. They share the same Sacred Firebird with you and have just as many feathers in storage."
The merchant's heart sank. How did Lord Kesheng know about this?
Isn't he supposed to be a seer? How can he also know the past?
However, he quickly responded, "I'll sell it. I'm willing to sell the feather to you!"
Su Yu began a widespread "splurge" in the major cities of the Golden Fleece Empire and the Lyon Empire, acquiring every material he needed.
The total number of Psychic Coins in Su Yu's backpack plummeted, dropping from 9.9 billion to 9.7 billion, and then to 9.3 billion.
By the time it reached 7.5 billion, Su Yu was satisfied and ended his shopping spree, returning to his territory with a mountain of high-grade precious materials.
The reason Su Yu ended his shopping early wasn't that he had bought everything he needed, but that he had used up his game time for the day and had to log out.
However, these materials would keep Su Yu busy for a while.
He removed his helmet and returned to the real world.
Soon, Tina's figure gradually appeared below the floating helmet.
"Counter, where are we going today?" Tina's gentle face looked a bit tired.
Once she delved into the deep waters of reform, she realized how exhausting it was to handle government affairs.
The old foxes in politics were devious and cunning, and engaging in political intrigue with them was mentally draining.
However, Tina still held the life-and-death power granted by Alyssa, giving her the upper hand in her dealings with the ministers.
After several days of continuous work, she now looked somewhat fatigued.
"Today, we'll continue attacking the Psychic Springs," Su Yu replied.
However, seeing Tina's current state, he felt a bit reluctant: "How about this, tonight we'll take on a few easy ones. After we're done, I'll show you the beautiful landscapes of our Blue Star and we can try some local delicacies. What do you think?"
"Great!" At the mention of beautiful scenery and delicious food, Tina instantly perked up.
Instead, she grabbed Su Yu's arm and leaped out of the window, "Counter, let's go! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can relax."
About ten minutes later, in the Yan Mountains north of the capital.
Su Yu activated his live-streaming device and said to the viewers, "Hello everyone, today we're attacking ‘Yan Six,’ which is next to yesterday’s ‘Yan One’ spring, located at Dong Hou Ding in Fengning County."
A large number of players had been waiting in the live stream, and as soon as Su Yu went live, a flurry of comments flooded the screen.
At first, the comments were chaotic, with some saying "Finally live!" others saying "We always support you," and a few saying "Trusting the Skrulls is worse than trusting the U.S."
Then, someone posted a [Cross] emoji, and the comments gradually unified, almost all turning into [Cross] emojis, covering the screen with a dense array of crosses.
The cross meme originated from abroad.
Many people abroad suggested binding Su Yu to a cross and burning him (these people had no concept of the strength of a sixth-stage powerhouse; the current Su Yu could stand on the surface of the sun without any trouble), or binding him to a cross and giving him to the Skrulls.
Since they all involved crosses, this led to a dense array of crosses flooding Su Yu's live stream, looking surprisingly neat and pleasing to the eye.
Tina was also watching the comments but didn't understand the meaning behind the crosses.
So she asked Su Yu, "Counter, what does the ‘cross’ represent?"
"Ah, well, everyone wants to see your [Cross Slash]," Su Yu smiled.
"Ah, I see." Tina nodded.
Since everyone liked it, she didn't hesitate.
She drew her longsword, ready to deliver the first [Cross Slash] of the day to the Skrull base's Psychic Shield.
