Chapter 538: Azerite Bomb
Chapter 538: Azerite Bomb
Patriarch Zhubu Lantian must have noticed the problem with his loaded dice, which is why he took it away. Instead, he brought out this fate dice, which can predict the future.
By rolling the fate dice, if Tao Shi rolled a 4, 5, or 6, it would mean that Su Yu truly had the ability to predict the future. However, if the roll was a 1, 2, or 3, it would either mean that Su Yu's prophetic abilities were not genuine or that he was trying to harm Tao Shi.
The result proved that Su Yu indeed had the power of prophecy and that he genuinely wanted to help Tao Shi.
Patriarch Zhubu Lantian was deeply moved by Su Yu's actions, and for some other reasons, decided to gift him the fate dice.
This fate dice was an incredibly valuable treasure. Although it had a 24-hour cooldown, a single roll during a critical moment could make a huge difference.
Su Yu estimated that the fate dice's value even surpassed the Moon Goddess Clan Emblem he wore, placing it on par with rewards from the 50th or 100th main mission stages.
He never expected to obtain such a valuable item from this small 10th hidden mission. It was truly astounding!
"Thank you, Patriarch Zhubu! Thank you for giving me this dice!" Su Yu expressed his gratitude to Patriarch Zhubu Lantian.
"You're welcome," Patriarch Zhubu Lantian humbly smiled. "I just received a message from His Majesty, informing me that you, Sir Counterstar, will be assisting us in the campaign against the Mantid Demons and the Mogu. I present this small gift to you, hoping for your victory and safe return."
Tao Shi, standing nearby, widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Su Yu. "You're actually Counterstar?"
She had certainly heard of the name Counterstar. To be precise, every panda in the Pandaren Empire knew of Counterstar.
But she never imagined that the person who helped her was such a high-ranking figure.
"Yes, I am Counterstar. I saw Lili at the palace gates this noon, looking quite pitiful, so I decided to help her out," Su Yu smiled at Tao Shi, then turned to Patriarch Zhubu Lantian. "Don't worry, Patriarch Zhubu. I will do my best to defeat the Mantid Demons and the Mogu!"
Patriarch Zhubu Lantian chuckled. "I will wait here for news of your victory."
With this, the mission was officially completed.
Patriarch Zhubu provided Tao Shi and her mother with a substantial amount of psychic coins to help them settle down. Su Yu then escorted Tao Shi and her mother back to their home in Bambus City.
Amidst their heartfelt thanks, Su Yu bid them farewell and used the Teleportation Spell to leave their wooden house.
Using the Teleportation Spell, Su Yu appeared above the gates of Bambus City.
During the time Su Yu spent on the mission, tens of thousands of players had gathered in the open area in front of the city gates.
Upon arriving at the city gates, Su Yu was taken aback by the massive crowd.
The area was densely packed with people, their heads bobbing up and down, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Seeing Su Yu's arrival, the crowd below immediately stirred.
Everyone looked up and waved at him in the sky.
"Counterstar, you're finally here!"
"Counterstar, we came all the way from Morning Breeze City (a major city near the border of the Pandaren Empire) just to join this mission!"
Su Yu smiled and waved back at the players, saying, "Welcome everyone to this scenario battle. I'll do my best to help you all earn the highest rewards!"
With that, he lowered his altitude, descending from 40 meters above the ground to just 10 meters.
A golden exclamation mark appeared above his head, allowing more players to receive the quest.
All players within a 100-meter radius of Su Yu simultaneously triggered the quest.
Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered the major battle scenario: "Heart of Fear."
Battle Overview: The envoy of the Golden Fleece Empire, "Counterstar," has joined the Pandaren faction to help them resist the invasion by various races. In an effort to aid the Pandaren, Counterstar has launched a surprise attack on the mantid base, "Heart of Fear."
Battle Requirements: Assist the envoy "Counterstar" in capturing "Heart of Fear," defeat the mantid army within, and force the mantid leader, "Great Empress Shek'zil," to surrender to the Pandaren. Progress (0%)
Battle Rewards: Rewards will be given based on the percentage of progress completed.
The players were all seasoned veterans. After receiving the quest, they quickly moved to the outskirts of the clearing to make room for others, without needing any reminders from Su Yu.
While standing in the sky to allow players to receive the quest, Su Yu was also searching the crowd for Zhenhong.
The area below was packed with people, and it took Su Yu a long time to spot Zhenhong at the edge of the crowd.
However, Zhenhong was far away, and Su Yu couldn't move. Frustrated, he decided to contact Zhenhong via private chat.
Su Yu: "Zhenhong, after you finish the main quest, I'll assign you 1,000 players. Take them to the Pandaren supply depot to get some 'Azerite Bombs.' They will be very useful."
Zhenhong: "Azerite Bombs? I'm familiar with them. I'll go right away!"
Su Yu: "Good. Just get 10,000 bombs. These can break through the amber barriers in the 'Hatching Chambers' and have a strong penetration effect against the mantids' amber armor, making them extremely useful."
Zhenhong: "!!! How do you know that, Chief Ke?"
He was almost stunned! Zhenhong had spent the past week on a series of main quests that were all about the mantids' amber armor.
The mantids' greatest asset was their "amber armor," a layer of pale yellow amber covering their exoskeletons, making it extremely difficult for blades to cut through and significantly enhancing their defense.
This had been a source of frustration for the Pandaren for a long time.
Later, the Pandaren explosives expert, "Fan Yuan," came up with a solution.
He created bombs using Azerite, similar to how gunpowder is used.
During an experiment, he threw one of these bombs at a mantid prisoner, and the effect was immediate. The amber armor on the mantid prisoner was penetrated within a few seconds.
As a result, "Azerite Bombs" became the Pandaren's secret weapon against the mantids.
However, this experiment had only occurred three days ago (in real time) and was still classified. How did Chief Ke know about it?
But Zhenhong didn't make any rash guesses. Perhaps it was due to Chief Ke's prophetic abilities.
After entering within 100 meters of Su Yu, Zhenhong received the main quest from him. Additionally, he received a notification for a side quest:
Special Envoy "Counterstar" has issued you the quest "Request Azerite Bombs." Do you accept?
Accept!
Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered the side quest "Request Azerite Bombs" in the battle scenario.
Quest Requirements: Lead 1,000 players to the supply depot in Bamboo City and request 10,000 "Azerite Bombs" from the depot commander, "Li Feng." Safely return the bombs to "Counterstar."
Quest Rewards: 35,000 experience points, 200 Psychic Coins.
