Chapter 588: A Deal with Link
Chapter 588: A Deal with Link
These cosmetics and trinkets were something Su Yu picked up while passing through the Scrutiny Town.
Although they were expensive, they were absolutely worth it if they could help maintain a good relationship with Donna. "Thank you, junior!" Donna was very pleased with the gifts. The quality of the pearl powder and accessories was excellent, and they would last her a long time.
Moreover, she wasn't the type to just accept gifts without reciprocating. She took out a light purple rune from her storage space and handed it to Su Yu, "Junior, consider this rune as my return gift!"
This was an intermediate defensive rune, roughly equivalent to a Master level in the game. In the future, if Su Yu wanted to create a large defensive magic array on Blue Star, he could use this rune as the core."
"Thank you, senior!" Su Yu accepted the rune without hesitation, pleased.
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly thought of something—now that he had advanced to the seventh rank, and Donna was still at the peak of the sixth rank, did he still need to call her "senior"?
Wouldn't "junior" be more appropriate? However, Su Yu didn't foolishly ask this question; he didn't want to ruin the harmonious atmosphere.
Three minutes later, a bright blue portal opened in Donna's bedroom.
Link, dressed in a white robe with golden edges (Donna said it was the teacher's uniform), stepped out of the portal.
"Lord Link, it's been a while!" Su Yu quickly stood up from the vanity chair and greeted him with a smile.
Link first greeted his sister on the bed, then turned his head and looked at Su Yu calmly, "Lord Su Yu, what do you need from me?"
"It's like this," Su Yu got straight to the point, "I want to ask you to deliver a few potions to Scrutiny Star and hand them to the designated person."
Su Yu explained his plan in detail.
After listening to Su Yu's plan, Link furrowed his brow slightly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he firmly refused, "I'm sorry, Lord Su Yu, but I can't help you with this. My sister should have told you that, as a 'War Inspector,' I must remain absolutely neutral. I can't show any favoritism in this war."
"500 credits." Su Yu said calmly, his expression unchanged.
"..." Link raised an eyebrow.
500 credits was no small amount; it was usually the total of his regular monthly salary. This number made him a bit tempted.
But thinking about the consequences of helping Su Yu, his temptation vanished instantly.
Donna, lying on the bed, had no interest in their transaction and was already sound asleep hugging a pillow.
"It's like this, Su Yu," Link thought carefully about his words, his expression very hesitant.
Su Yu quickly continued, "What if I offer 1000 credits? You should know that we on Blue Star are at an absolute disadvantage. We must seize every opportunity to gain an advantage!"
"This isn't about the credits. Even if it were 2000 credits, I wouldn't take the risk," Link regretfully shook his head.
"Helping you like this would completely cross the red line of the 'Holy Chant.' Even I would have to be extremely careful to avoid the punishment from the 'Holy Chant.' One misstep could lead to unimaginable consequences!"
"In that case, how about this?" Seeing that Link was already leaning towards refusal, Su Yu had to use his "ace card."
He took out the [Candy Skewer] from his necklace and handed it to Link, "I'll give this to you. I hope you can change your mind."
Sweet Skewer (Golden)
Food
- Effect: After use, increases fullness by 3.
- Special Effect: Sweet Gift - If this item is given to a creature, the creature's affection towards you will increase by 10 for 24 hours.
“What is this?” Link looked at the skewer.
“This is a special snack from the game, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Why don’t you try it now!” Su Yu smiled and forced the skewer into Link’s hand.
Link initially wanted to refuse. His rational mind told him not to eat food from an unknown source.
But the enticing aroma of the skewer instantly threw his rationality out the window.
He tore open the wrapper and popped a piece into his mouth.
Sour and sweet, it was exactly the taste he loved! And for some reason, Su Yu suddenly seemed much more likable.
“This snack is really delicious!” Link closed his eyes in satisfaction.
The more he ate, the better it tasted. The sour and sweet flavor completely captivated his taste buds, almost melting him from the inside out.
After finishing one piece, Link was still craving more and quickly reached for another.
In high spirits, he patted Su Yu on the shoulder and laughed, “Alright, I’ll make an exception and help you this time! But Su Yu, you need to get more of this food from the game. I’ll buy it from you at a high price!”
“Certainly, certainly!” Su Yu quickly agreed, smiling.
He hadn’t expected Link to like the skewer so much.
It seemed he would need to visit the Pandaren Tao Lili again once he entered the game world.
Su Yu took out three bottles of Master-Level Healing Elixir from his necklace and handed them to Link.
Meanwhile, in the central square of the capital of Skrell’s Beker Kingdom.
The 400,000-square-meter square was bustling with citizens of Beker City.
Everyone wore broad smiles, their heads held high as they looked up at their leader, Cindy Doppler, who was floating in the sky.
Four days ago, their leader had led the righteous “Anti-Alliance Organization” to end the civil war and crush the traitorous “Beker Progressive Party,” securing the final victory.
Cindy Doppler was delivering her victory speech, and the crowd was overjoyed.
As the speech neared its end, Cindy Doppler looked down at the people who supported her and made a serious and solemn promise:
“I, Cindy Doppler, on behalf of the ‘Anti-Alliance Organization,’ formally commit—over the next six months, we will do our utmost to prevent G2’s invasion of Blue Star. We oppose G2’s hegemony and interference in other countries' internal affairs! We will also impose a wealth tax on the rich to ensure a better life for ordinary people!”
Cindy Doppler was known for keeping her promises. Since becoming the leader of the “Anti-Alliance Organization,” she had fulfilled almost all of her commitments, unlike other politicians who promised one thing during their campaigns and did another once in power.
When the crowd heard Cindy Doppler’s promise, the square erupted into thunderous applause.
Some people waved their arms, while others cupped their hands around their mouths to form megaphones, shouting, “Long live Cindy Doppler!” “Long live the Anti-Alliance Organization!”
The atmosphere in the square reached a fever pitch.
But at that moment, a bright blue portal opened near Cindy Doppler.
Link, with a skewer still in his mouth (he was reluctant to eat the last piece), sauntered out of the portal.
