Chapter 490: 7 Days Later, the Beast is Created (Catch-up 313)
Chapter 490: 7 Days Later, the Beast is Created (Catch-up 313)
In the following seven days, players within the game went berserk, leveling up like there was no tomorrow. Those who reached level 50 rushed to the Pandaren Continent to undertake the Reality Manifestation Quests, which would grant them tangible power in the real world.
Meanwhile, the construction of plantations and the development of territories for players who already had them continued at a rapid pace. These three major activities—leveling up, building plantations, and developing territories—formed the primary focus for most players in the game.
As for Su Yu, he dedicated most of his time to refining materials and learning new skills at his Mage Tower, solidifying his foundation. In his spare moments, he would seek out Ailiet to take on high-experience tasks, such as large-scale farming, water management, and infrastructure projects.
The game world had yet to reach the age of large machinery, so most tasks were done by hand. Each major project involved tens of thousands of players working together. As the overall coordinator, Su Yu didn't seek personal gain; in fact, he often invested his own money into these projects.
The benefit was that these large-scale tasks provided him with a massive amount of experience points, allowing him to keep up with the growing experience requirements of his Dawnstar, ensuring she could continue her training without interruption.
While the game world remained relatively peaceful, the real world was on the brink of a storm.
There were both good and bad developments in the real world.
Let's start with the good news.
There were three pieces of good news.
First, the Yunlu Mountain Base was not attacked by terrorists for the next seven days. A large number of players who met the Reality Manifestation requirements successfully manifested their powers, and the process went smoothly.
Second, players who had mastered the ability "Mind Theft" actively joined the government's "Pest Control Operation" after manifesting their powers. This operation included over a hundred experienced police officers tasked with combating both domestic and international traitors, especially those who posed significant threats to the Blue Star Base, like the ones from the previous incident.
The players used "Mind Theft" effectively, leaving the traitors with no place to hide. Capturing even a small minion could lead to the arrest of the top "big fish" in the traitor organization, severely undermining their confidence and operations.
As more players mastered "Mind Theft," the traitors' room for maneuver became increasingly limited, and their eventual disappearance within the country was only a matter of time.
Third, on the fourth day, Zhong Feng, Tian, and Old Meng successfully manifested their powers. To further boost everyone's enthusiasm for leveling up, the United Government awarded each of them 10 tons of strategic reserve gold.
With the gold, they each went to the "Ice Camp" and the "Flame Camp" to exchange for two Frost Dragons and one Flame Phoenix. The three of them rode their majestic mounts, circling the sky above Yunlu Mountain, creating a striking visual impact for the players below.
When this scene was posted online, it generated a huge response. Players' enthusiasm for leveling up was reignited, with some even staying in the leveling zones for 12 hours straight, non-stop, hoping to one day ride such magnificent dragons and phoenixes.
Now, let's talk about the bad news.
There were two pieces of bad news.
First, the traitors continued their malicious activities in secret.
The domestic traitors seemed to realize that if they didn't act now, things would only get harder for them. They launched frequent terrorist attacks in various cities. In just one week, they carried out 68 terrorist attacks, including two major incidents that each resulted in the deaths of over a hundred innocent civilians.
Moreover, they didn't limit themselves to terrorist attacks. Kidnappings, extortion, illegal detentions, and forced brainwashing became increasingly common, causing widespread fear and chaos.
The chaos caused by the surrender faction has also disrupted society, leading to widespread unrest and a breakdown of order.
People are now afraid to go to crowded places and prefer to stay at home, making the entire society seem desolate.
As for the second piece of bad news.
This strange event is of utmost importance and has the potential to stir the hearts of people worldwide: all the monsters created by the Skrull bases have been completed! It's October 10th, the 30th day since the Skrulls announced their "Gravity Funnel" plan.
That morning at 8 AM, news outlets around the world were scrambling to report this significant development: the monsters in the Skrull bases have "come to life"!
Su Yu was among the first to receive this news.
At midnight on October 10th, he entered the game to begin refining materials and training, knowing that something major would happen today. He wanted to use up his game time in advance.
At 8 AM, Su Yu received a message from Katusha (Xue Wenli's in-game name) and realized the big moment had arrived.
He promptly logged out of the game and returned to the real world.
Back in the real world, the cat Morning Star jumped onto his shoulder from the pet space, poking his cheek with her whiskers: "Counter, something big is happening today, right?"
"Of course," Su Yu nodded, holding Morning Star as he sat down in front of his computer.
He turned on the central news channel, where the robot host "Hua Hua" was delivering the news in her toneless, cold electronic voice:
"According to reports from the 'Blue Star Frontier' organization, all 3,533 monsters created in the Skrull bases worldwide have been completed. Our frontline reporter Wu Cheng risked his life to capture these precious images. Please take a look."
Over the past 30 days, Su Yu, Morning Star, and Tina had captured 203 psychic springs, including two large ones and 201 small ones. As of now, there are still 3,533 Skrull bases remaining.
The screen switched to a low-resolution image of a Skrull base far in the distance. A monster over 40 meters tall was roaring loudly in the "Monster Factory."
Previously, these monsters were motionless during their creation, but now they are moving, indicating that the Skrulls have completed their manufacturing process.
It's still unknown when the Skrulls will release these monsters, where they will place them, or if they will use the Gravity Funnel to eliminate a country. It all depends on the Skrulls' mood.
After showing several clips of the monsters, the host "Hua Hua" said emotionlessly, "Currently, the risk of monster attacks in our Chinese war zone is low, especially in densely populated areas east of the Hu Line, where attacks are unlikely."
"However, for safety, please stay indoors over the next few days and follow the instructions of the United Government. In the event of an emergency, comply with the arrangements of rescue personnel, remain calm, and evacuate the danger zone in an orderly manner."
Su Yu turned off the news channel.
The specifics of the Skrull monster army's deployment are still unknown, but one thing is certain: the Skrulls will not place the "Gravity Funnel" in China, as they have promised Chancellor Cao and are unlikely to break their word.
The rest can only be speculated.
Su Yu) rubbed Morning Star. He needed to attend a meeting with relevant authorities to discuss response strategies and develop a series of countermeasures based on the Skrulls' layout.
He hoped that the human world could withstand this wave of attacks.
