Chapter 488: Three Days Later, the First Batch of Power Manifestation Players
On the afternoon of October 1st, at the headquarters of the relevant department in Donghai City.
In the ninth-floor command center, Su Yu and Xue Wenli were organizing the information sent back by the enforcement department and the great cultivators.
However, their expressions were far from pleased.
"363 surrenderers? Is that really all?" Su Yu looked at the number on the report, finding it hard to believe.
So far, they had captured 363 surrenderers, including several key leaders of the surrender faction.
But Su Yu still felt it was too few.
Based on his experience, a city as large as Donghai couldn't have only 300 surrenderers; the actual number should be much higher.
Xue Wenli nodded. "The actual number is certainly more than that. Experts estimate that the true number of surrenderers is over 3,000. We've only caught one-tenth of them."
"What about the other nine-tenths?"
"The other nine-tenths have fled!" Xue Wenli shrugged. "The surrenderers aren't fools. They knew you would use the [Mind Reading] skill, and if they stayed in Donghai City, you would find them. So, before the terrorists went up the mountain, they had already left the city. Many of them have even changed their identities, making it very difficult to track them down."
"Ah, crafty terrorists." Su Yu sighed. "It seems we need to conduct a nationwide manhunt to find these traitors as soon as possible!"
"I agree." Xue Wenli nodded. "Once the players at Yunlu Mountain Base who have mastered the [Mind Reading] skill manifest their powers, we can conduct a thorough cleansing of the officials and citizens of each country, rooting out these traitors!"
"Alright, I'll participate and assist as much as I can when the time comes." Su Yu's expression softened slightly. "By the way, make sure the security at Yunlu Mountain Base is tightened. We can't afford any more slip-ups."
"Don't worry, I'll strengthen the security measures there." Xue Wenli looked at Su Yu curiously. "But come to think of it, Su Yu, why are you so serious today? You sound a bit like Commissar Zhang."
"Haha, it's just the surrenderers getting under my skin." Su Yu patted Xue Wenli on the shoulder. "I'll head back now! Contact me if anything comes up."
"Alright."
After saying goodbye to Xue Wenli, Su Yu used the [Hearthstone] to return home and immediately logged into the game.
He had spent a lot of time in the real world today, and if he didn't log in soon, he wouldn't be able to complete his 12-hour daily online time.
Once in the game, Su Yu gathered all the citizens of Apix City at the central plaza.
At the plaza, Su Yu held a grand ceremony to honor Dave and his research team, awarding them a substantial bonus of 1 million Psychic Coins!
After the ceremony, Su Yu found the temporary head of the relevant department, [Impregnable Stronghold], and instructed him to allocate 1 billion Psychic Coins (almost all of the department's reserves) for the construction of plantations across the Golden Gorse Empire. This would involve widespread cultivation of Golden Gorse and other magical plants, ensuring a steady supply of golden plant seeds to the real world to enhance human capabilities.
Of course, he had discussed this major decision with Alyssa beforehand, and she had agreed to help Blue Star produce golden seeds and ensure the safety and stability of the plantations worldwide.
With the plantation matter settled, Su Yu handed the responsibility to the Winged Dragon and the relevant department.
As for himself, he returned to the Mage Tower to continue his training and burn materials.
Unbeknownst to many, three days had passed, and it was now October 3rd.
At 10:00 AM on October 3rd, Su Yu left the game and used the [Portal] to travel to Yunlu Mountain.
Today was the day the first batch of third-stage players would successfully materialize their powers, and he naturally wanted to be there to witness it.
Upon reaching the summit of Yunlu Mountain, Su Yu saw many Great Cultivators floating in the air, protecting the new generation of Blue Star's strength.
Below, in the temporary cabins, the spiritual energy around several cabins was gradually dissipating, indicating that these players were about to emerge.
Seeing Su Yu arrive, the surrounding Great Cultivators greeted him warmly, "Su Yu, you're here!"
"Greetings, seniors," Su Yu respectfully bowed. "I calculated the time to be here, and I believe I've arrived just in time, right?"
"Of course, you're right on time," Tao, one of the seniors, flew over to him. "The first to complete their materialization should be Gu Yan (Thousand Cups Unfazed), Lin Fenglan (True Red-Eyed Black Dragon), and Xu Yunzhong (Pastoral Enemy in the Clouds). According to my estimates, they should be out within three minutes."
"That's great, I'll be watching eagerly then," Su Yu smiled.
Sure enough, as Tao predicted, Gu Yan, whose nickname was Thousand Cups Unfazed, was the first to open the door and step out of his cabin.
His face was a mix of disbelief and excitement.
As soon as he stepped out, Thousand Cups Unfazed performed a backflip onto the roof, his movements fluid and powerful, almost like a dream.
"How does it feel?" Su Yu asked, smiling from the air.
"I feel incredibly surreal!" Thousand Cups Unfazed lightly jumped from one roof to another, five meters away. "If you had asked me four months ago, I would never have believed that this game could grant me such immense power!"
"This is the gap between civilizations," Su Yu sighed. "The Silver Saint Federation controls the Milky Way and the Silver Saint systems, and the gap between us and them is so vast it's unimaginable. Compared to them, we are mere specks."
The Great Cultivators had already gathered around Thousand Cups Unfazed, watching his display of power as if they were at a zoo.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the previously lively atmosphere became somewhat somber. Indeed, the gap between civilizations was so vast it was suffocating.
Fortunately, their enemies were the Skrulls, not the Silver Saint Federation; otherwise, they might as well have surrendered.
Half a minute after Thousand Cups Unfazed emerged, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, his face flushed with excitement, also jumped out of his cabin, landing on the hardened ground between the buildings.
"Roar!"
With a powerful shout, he lifted his right leg and slammed it into the ground, activating the [Thunder Strike] skill.
A thick, blue aura radiated from his right foot, cracking the hardened ground in a three-meter-wide, lightning-like pattern.
"Success! I've materialized successfully!" True Red shouted excitedly to Su Yu in the sky.
Like Thousand Cups Unfazed, True Red felt a sense of unreality, his head feeling light and his feet heavy.
Gaining such immense power in just three days would make anyone feel disoriented.
"True Red, you're a tank, right? How about I test your defenses?"
Su Yu descended from the sky, taking a rifle of unknown model from one of the security guards, aiming it directly at True Red. "Activate [Shield Wall] and let me see if the rifle can penetrate your defense."
