Chapter 595: Out of Money
Chapter 595: Out of Money
The process of creating the clone was exactly the same as last time.
The fine hair on the right side emitted a scorching pink light, separating from the other hair and quickly forming a pink sphere in mid-air.
This pink sphere gradually transformed into a human shape, becoming an exact replica of Su Yu.
At the same time, 1% of Su Yu's mental energy automatically split off and merged into this new clone.
But the feeling of mental energy splitting gave Su Yu a sense of PTSD, immediately reminding him of the soul-shattering, heart-wrenching sensation when his previous clone died.
It seemed that this clone needed to be placed somewhere safe and not sent to dangerous places again.
...
Once the clone was created, Su Yu gave it detailed instructions.
The clone didn't hesitate, put on the backup mage equipment Su Yu had prepared, and stepped into the Astral Plane teleportation gate to catch mice.
After sending the clone away, Su Yu looked at Chenxing: "Chenxing, what should we do now? Should we go straight to Bellina, or see Alyssa and Tina first?"
"Hmm," Chenxing thought for a moment and replied, "I think we should see Alyssa and Tina first. After meeting them, we can go to Clearwind Village to find Lady Bellina. This way, we won't waste any time."
"Alright, let's go then." Su Yu picked up Chenxing, who was lying on the table, and flew toward the central teleportation array in Upcity.
Chenxing buried her head in his chest, quietly healing her injuries.
Since Chenxing's injuries were severe and she didn't want to enter the pet space again, Su Yu slowed down his flying speed, making the journey take a bit longer.
However, Su Yu didn't idle.
During the journey, he took stock of his backpack.
The backpack had gained many new items, all of which were the "relics" left behind by the previous clone.
The previous clone was very ambitious. Although he only lived for a little over three days, he still managed to obtain quite a few good things in the game.
His main task was to trigger hidden quests on the Panda Continent, completing them and obtaining some golden potions.
Worth celebrating, the clone managed to collect a total of 42 bottles of various levels of golden potions, along with some other less important golden items.
These 42 bottles of golden potions ranged from low to high tier, with various effects. Some restored health, some restored mana, and some had functional effects like the [Speed Boost Potion] which increased flying speed.
Su Yu extended his hand, and a bottle of [Low-Tier Health Restoration Potion] appeared in his palm, emitting a brilliant golden light under the sunlight.
Without hesitation, he used [Point Star Hand] to start upgrading the potion.
"Chime, do you want to spend 10 Psychic Coins to enhance [Low-Tier Health Restoration Potion]?"
"Confirm!"
"Chime, [Low-Tier Health Restoration Potion] has been upgraded to [Mid-Tier Health Restoration Potion], with significantly enhanced health restoration!"
"Chime, do you want to spend 100 Psychic Coins to enhance [Mid-Tier Health Restoration Potion]?"
"Confirm!"
"Chime, [Mid-Tier Health Restoration Potion] has been upgraded to [High-Tier Health Restoration Potion]."
...
Chenxing noticed the rich aura emanating from Su Yu's palm and looked up at his hand.
After a short while, she perked up her ears and asked, "Kexing, is this bottle of potion left by your previous clone?"
"Yes," Su Yu replied.
But thinking about the tragic death of the clone, and the possibility that it could have been himself if the clone hadn't died, Su Yu fell silent again.
He reached out with his other hand and gently patted Chenxing's little head, solemnly declaring, "I swear I will avenge you and your doppelganger, no matter what!"
"Got it," Chenxing didn't plan on saying much more, burying her head in Su Yu's chest to continue healing.
Just then, Su Yu heard a system notification in his ear.
"Ding, your Psychic Coin balance is insufficient. [Master-Level Life Recovery Elixir] cannot be upgraded again."
"Huh?" Su Yu was taken aback.
Was he out of money now?
Su Yu quickly checked his balance in his inventory and found he had "1,632,693" Psychic Coins, just over 1.63 million.
Of course, this number would make any player a top-tier tycoon, but for Su Yu, who had once owned 2 billion Psychic Coins, this amount was practically nothing.
2 billion gone just like that?
Spending money like water, indeed!
Su Yu's face paled a bit white.
Seeming to notice Su Yu's odd demeanor, Chenxing lifted her head from his chest and asked, "Ke Xing, what's wrong?"
"Chenxing, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"If I were a penniless pauper, would you still love me? I'm out of money now."
Chenxing: "Miao miao miao?"
She looked at Su Yu in disbelief, "Didn't Alizia reward you 1 billion for collecting protection fees in the West Continent? Where did all the money go?"
"Didn't give it to anyone, I spent it all myself."
Chenxing: "..."
This guy sure knew how to spend money, 100 billion Psychic Coins gone in just a couple of months?
"But it's simple," Chenxing wiped her sweat and replied, "Alizia has plenty of money. You can borrow a few billion from her and then develop businesses to earn it back! Didn't you always talk about developing businesses in our world?"
Su Yu thought about it and nodded, "True."
Once the mission with Bernina was completed, the time flow would reverse, and the experience points from monsters, dungeons, and quests would decrease proportionally. Players could then transfer a large amount of time to develop businesses within the game.
At that point, he could also focus on this area and earn some money to fill his empty wallet, or else he wouldn't even have enough for the next upgrade elixir.
Half a minute later, Su Yu and Chenxing arrived at the Golden Broomflower Palace.
Sensing Su Yu and Chenxing's presence, Alizia quickly flew into the sky and directly embraced Su Yu.
"Ke Xing, you're finally back! Why did it take you so long to come back?" Alizia buried her face in his chest, hugging him tightly.
Su Yu had been away for several months and was finally back!
Moreover, during these months, she often heard false rumors of Su Yu's death. Fortunately, she had always believed Su Yu was alive, which helped her hold on until now.
Su Yu gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "It's fine. The mission is complete. Let's go find Lady Bernina to change the time flow, and then I'll have more time to stay with you!"
Tina, who had also been in the palace, sensed Su Yu's presence and flew up into the sky.
However, she wasn't as fast as Alizia and arrived a step later.
She had intended to fly into Su Yu's arms, but seeing Alizia had already "taken the initiative," she felt a bit embarrassed and could only stand beside them, smiling awkwardly.
