Chapter 466: [Illusion Battle] (Part 9): The Anti-Su Yu Coalition
Chapter 466: [Illusion Battle] (Part 9): The Anti-Su Yu Coalition
The other four players didn't have Su Yu's ability to fly high and observe the entire map, so they had to navigate the forest on foot.
Fortunately, the public chat channel was open, allowing them to gather information from other players.
Jelly Bean: "CEO Ke? Is it really you? I'm your fan!"
However, Su Yu was busy soaring up to survey the map and didn't respond.
A few seconds later.
No Clothes: "Tsk, looks like CEO Ke is quite aloof. Let's get down to business. I'll reveal my identity first; I'm a 'Loyalist.'"
System Notification: "Player [No Clothes] has revealed their identity, confirmed as 'Loyalist.'"
No Clothes had thought this through carefully.
By revealing his identity, he could quickly join forces with the 'Lord' to deal with the others, avoiding the confusion of friend and foe that had plagued them in the "Dark Forest."
If he didn't reveal himself, he might end up in a heated battle with the 'Lord' in the wild, which would only make the 'Rebels' laugh.
Jelly Bean quickly understood this.
He immediately revealed his identity as well: "I'm the 'Lord,' no doubt about it."
System Notification: "Player [Jelly Bean] has revealed their identity, confirmed as 'Lord.'"
No Clothes: "Good grief, why isn't CEO Ke the 'Lord'? I was hoping to latch onto a powerful ally!"
Jelly Bean: "Looks like you're out of luck, but regardless, we're on the same team now. Give me your coordinates, and I'll come find you."
No Clothes: "Sure, [316, 242]."
Jelly Bean: "I'm close by, I'll be there soon."
Seeing the 'Lord' and 'Loyalist' so openly teaming up, the two 'Rebels' naturally couldn't stay idle. (They understood what the two Chinese players were saying thanks to the system's built-in translation tool.)
!!: "My identity is 'Rebel,' is there any other player like me? (Korean)"
System Notification: "Player [!!] has revealed their identity, confirmed as 'Rebel.'"
Alex: "I'm also a Rebel, same as you. Give me your coordinates, and let's meet up as soon as possible. (English)"
System Notification: "Player [Alex] has revealed their identity, confirmed as 'Rebel.'"
!!: "[947, 833]."
Jelly Bean: "Tsk, looks like CEO Ke is the 'Traitor,' but at least he's not a Rebel."
No Clothes: "There are pros and cons. The 'pro' is that CEO Ke isn't an enemy, but the 'con' is that the 'Traitor' role is perfect for divide and conquer. We can't let CEO Ke outsmart us!"
Alex: "Ke Star, I'm also your fan. I've watched your video about going to Skrul Star 11 times, and I always tune in to your live streams at 8 AM."
Jelly Bean: "Isn't it 8 PM?"
No Clothes: "Maybe there's a time difference."
Alex: "But as your fan, I won't go easy on my idol. I'll do my best to defeat you!"
Alex: "Everyone, Ke Star is the Traitor. Eliminating him won't harm any of our sides. So let's join forces and kick him out of the game first, then we can settle the final battle!"
!!: "Agreed."
Jelly Bean: "Sounds good. And even if we lose, we can still brag about taking down CEO Ke."
No Clothes: "I think it's a good plan."
"Alright, Mr. Ke, we won't hold back!"
Su Yu was leading his troops to occupy a gold mine when he saw the conversation in the public channel. He couldn't help but twitch his lips.
The situation seemed a bit unfavorable. The four players had actually formed a united front.
So Su Yu said in the channel, "Are you guys mistaken? If you four meet up for a big battle, you can decide the winner. Why are you coming after me?"
He continued, "Alex and this Loyal Guy, have you seen 'Candy Sandwich'? If you kill him, you'll win the game. Why waste time and effort on me?"
Su Yu added, "Ke Xing, Candy Sandwich, kicking me out would be a disadvantage for you! If you 2V2, the enemy rebels just need to focus on your leader, while you have to eliminate both rebel teams to win. This will only put you at a disadvantage. Do you have brains?"
Candy Sandwich and Ke Xing: "."
Ke's point made sense. If they kicked him out, the game rules would indeed work against them.
But if they didn't kick Ke, would they let this big boss grow stronger?
Candy Sandwich and his partner found it a tough decision.
Alex said, "Ke, you're getting anxious, which means you're afraid! Everyone, pay attention. Since Ke is afraid, our strategy must be right! I suggest we still form an alliance and kick Ke out first."
Su Yu replied, "Whatever, if you think you can win, go ahead. Don't say I didn't warn you."
The five players then engaged in a heated debate.
After much deliberation, Candy Sandwich and his partner reached a consensus: the threat Su Yu posed was far greater than the tactical disadvantage of kicking him out.
In the end, Alex and the other three formed an alliance, aiming to eliminate Su Yu before settling the final score.
Su Yu didn't back down. He continued with his plan.
The five separate forces occupied the five gold mines at the agreed-upon time.
After successfully occupying the mines, Su Yu's interface displayed "Gold Production Rate: 25/second," with each mine producing 5 gold per second.
Su Yu chose five very strategic gold mines, all in locations that Candy Sandwich and the others couldn't quickly discover, allowing him to accumulate a significant amount of resources.
For the remaining gold mines, Su Yu sent out dozens of light cavalry to try and occupy them. If a mine was already taken by the enemy, they would retreat. If not, they would mine as much as possible.
While arguing with the four players in the channel, Su Yu went to one of the [Mercenary Camps] alone.
This was a camp covered in pristine snow, named the [Snow Camp].
Inside the camp was a mercenary hut. Walking in, Su Yu saw an NPC elder with a white beard and wearing a thick fur coat.
The elder looked at Su Yu, put down his pipe, and smiled, "Adventurer, what can I do for you?"
"I have a lot of gold and want to hire some mercenaries here," Su Yu replied respectfully.
"Alright," the elder stood up, stretching his slightly stiff legs from sitting for so long. "You have good taste, young man! Our 'Snow Camp' mercenaries have been tested by the polar frost. They are the strongest among the four camps! I'm sure you'll be satisfied!"
The elder finished speaking, and a virtual list of mercenaries appeared before Su Yu.
Looking at the names and prices of the high-tier units on the list, Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
