Chapter 477: Yuumi Life-Size Pillow
Chapter 477: Yuumi Life-Size Pillow
Su Yu glanced at the countdown visible only to him and said to the Great Cultivator, "Senior, it will take about two hours."
"Two hours, huh? Haha, I’m looking forward to it!" the Great Cultivator chuckled, stroking his beard.
Su Yu turned to Zhong Feng, "I’ll use these two hours to capture a psychic spring. The Skrull base in Wuyi Mountain has the lowest defense level. I’ll head over there and look for an opportunity."
In recent days, "capturing psychic springs" had been Su Yu's solo mission.
Although the United Government had gathered over a hundred ancient Great Cultivators, most of them were only at the Fourth or Fifth Rank. None had yet recovered to the Sixth Rank, with only twelve at the peak of the Fifth Rank. (Prime Minister Cao and Zhu Guorui were exceptions, having boosted their power with large amounts of psychic energy.)
Small Skrull bases were generally equipped with "Gekko" millimeter-wave laser cannons, which posed little threat to Su Yu at the Sixth Rank Saint Domain but were lethal to Fifth Rank cultivators.
Thus, the Great Cultivators below couldn’t participate in capturing psychic springs, leaving it to Su Yu alone.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the Great Cultivators looked at him with admiration. Su Yu’s efforts to capture psychic springs were all for their benefit!
Zhong Feng said earnestly, "Go ahead, but be careful."
But then, he seemed to remember something and said, "Su Yu, wait a moment."
He then piloted his mech back to the base below.
A minute later, Zhong Feng returned to the sky in his mech. With a face that seemed to be saying "old man, subway, phone," Su Yu reluctantly accepted a plush toy from Zhong Feng:
"This is a life-size Yuumi plushie. Wenli knew you’d be coming to Yunlu Mountain today, so she asked me to give it to you."
Su Yu took the Yuumi life-size pillow (of course, "life-size" referred to the size of the cat Morning Star), and he was speechless for a moment.
He had previously asked Xue Wenli to buy a Yuumi life-size pillow for him. He had promised to give it to Morning Star.
But this wasn’t the right place to hand over a collectible, was it?
Su Yu looked around.
Over a hundred Great Cultivators were watching him, some staring at the pillow in his hand, their expressions a mix of surprise and amusement.
"This plush toy... I didn’t expect Su Yu to be into such girly stuff." This was the thought of most of the Great Cultivators.
Su Yu, with a thick face, stuffed the pillow into his necklace.
Fortunately, he didn’t feel any social death. As the saying goes, "As long as I’m not embarrassed, the embarrassment is on them."
He bowed to the Great Cultivators below and laughed heartily, "Everyone, see you later! I wish you all a speedy recovery to the Spirit Division Realm!"
With that, he used the [Hearthstone], and ten seconds later, he vanished from the sky over Yunlu Mountain.
"Here." Back at home, Su Yu tossed the Yuumi pillow to Morning Star.
Morning Star, who had been immersed in the online world and ignoring him, suddenly lit up at the sight of the pillow. "A Yuumi pillow?!"
She pounced on the pillow like a hungry cat, tossed her phone aside, and nuzzled Yuumi, looking blissful.
Su Yu’s lips twitched involuntarily.
He teased, "Morning Star, aren’t you a female cat? Why are you interested in a female cat like Yuumi?"
"Uh, I can’t really explain it, but I just like it." Morning Star flipped onto her back on the Yuumi pillow, exposing her snowy white belly. "So comfy! I want to take this pillow back to our world."
“Probably not,” Su Yu shrugged, stepping forward to grab Morningstar by the neck and lift her up. “Since we have some time now, let’s attack the Psychic Spring. We’ll aim to take down Base Wuyi today.”
“Alright,” Morningstar didn’t refuse, lazily jumping onto Su Yu’s shoulder.
Su Yu and Morningstar used a portal to travel to Wuyi Mountain. However, they were unaware that his post on the official forum had caused a huge stir!
The game was currently in maintenance mode, so all players were offline.
Players either browsed the latest expansion updates on the official website or chatted on the forum, speculating about the new expansion and the manifestation of power. This was the moment when the forum had the most active players.
Su Yu’s post was highly controversial and immediately caused an explosive reaction on the forum.
A set of Tier 4 Epic gear, and it was even golden!
Most players hadn’t even seen Tier 3 gear, let alone a two-tier jump to Tier 4!
Players flooded Su Yu’s post with replies.
“Good heavens! A Tier 4 Epic set! This is really eye-opening!”
“The stats, the additional skills, the set bonuses—this is making me drool.”
Some players raised questions: “Wait a minute, everyone! If I remember correctly, worn gear can’t be traded, right? Why can this set be traded?”
Another player clarified the doubt:
“True, it can’t be traded in-game, but golden gear can be traded in the real world!”
“You can meet up with Su Yu in real life, and he can hand over the gear to you. Once you put it on, it counts as a trade. The gear won’t recognize a new owner and won’t stop working on you.”
“So that’s how it works.”
“Ah, I wish I were a Mage!”
“Su Yu must have a new set of gear, which is why he’s selling his old one. Can anyone guess what his new gear might be?”
“How can we guess that?”
Some players tagged [@CloudRanger]: “CloudRanger, this is your chance!”
[@CloudRanger] was also incredibly excited. While his family was wealthy, such a golden set was a rare treasure that money couldn’t buy! With his strength, he was more than capable of topping the Mage leaderboard.
He immediately posted on the forum, vowing to level up diligently to become the first Mage to reach max level in the next expansion, and asked everyone to keep him accountable.
Two hours later, Su Yu captured Base Wuyi and used a portal to return to the Yunlu Mountain Psychic Spring.
Recently, Su Yu’s process for capturing bases had become simpler.
In the past, after breaking into a base, he had to wait for the Blue Star army to arrive and arrest all the Skrulls before he could leave.
But now, because the prisons were already full of Skrull captives and couldn’t hold any more, Su Yu simply eliminated all the Skrulls in the base to settle the matter.
The Skrulls had also become smarter, and they no longer kept many personnel in small bases.
When he attacked the Lingwu Mountain Psychic Spring base, the Blue Star army had captured 834 Skrulls in one go. Today, when he attacked Base Wuyi, he eliminated no more than 50 Skrulls and only seized two spaceships.
The Skrulls were gradually withdrawing from small bases.
