Chapter 675: Seven Days Later
Chapter 675: Seven Days Later
However, the warm moment didn't last long.
Two hours later, Su Yu and his companions returned to their small 50-square-meter home in East Sea City.
To be honest, if Su Yu wanted to, he could knock down all the walls on the entire floor and turn it into his home. He could even move out and choose any villa in East Sea City, as they were all at his disposal.
But Su Yu was quite lazy in this regard.
He found his cozy 50-square-meter home quite comfortable and didn't feel like putting in the effort to renovate it.
He could always do it after the final battle.
If humanity really won the war, he could find a picturesque place with a beautiful environment to live in later.
...
When they returned home, it was already 5 PM.
Even if he logged in now, he would only have seven hours of game time left today.
"I'll head back in first," Ailijie said as soon as they got home, picking up Su Yu's game helmet.
She was very worried about how her in-game avatar was managing the nation and was eager to check on it.
"Sure, Tiana and I will be right there," Su Yu nodded.
But then he remembered something and added, "By the way, Ailijie, next time I log out, you can come to our world. I'll show you and Tiana around and let you have a good time!"
Ailijie's eyes lit up at Su Yu's words.
She smiled and said, "Alright, it's a deal!"
With that, she put on the helmet and disappeared on the spot.
...
When Ailijie entered the game, the game helmet lost its support and quickly fell from a meter in the air.
Tiana flashed over and caught it deftly, then turned to Su Yu with a smile, "Champion, I'll head in too. See you there!"
"Sure, Tiana!"
Tiana also put on the helmet.
Just before entering the game world, she turned back to Su Yu and said, "Champion, although I can't provide as much support as Ailijie or offer high-reward quests, I'll always stand by you. If you need any help, just let me know."
With that, Tiana's figure also vanished into thin air.
Chenxing, the cat, gave a curious look at Su Yu, who seemed a bit dazed, and waved a paw at him:
"Come on, let's go. I don't know how you managed to charm Ailijie and Tiana so thoroughly, but even I... cough, cough, let's go."
Chenxing leaped into the pet space.
Seeing that they were all gone, Su Yu scratched the back of his head, a bit awkwardly.
As the saying goes, "It's hard to repay a favor from a beautiful woman." He was experiencing that today.
And he had to add another line to it: "It's hard to repay a favor from a beautiful cat."
How did that sound a bit strange?
Shaking his head, Su Yu put on the helmet and logged into the game world.
...
...
When he returned to the game world, Su Yu appeared next to the giant teleportation array in the center of Golden Rose City, the same place he had logged out last time.
He had logged out about four hours ago to receive 200 million psychic coins from the relevant department to upgrade his mana recovery potion.
Now, he was finally back online, and this time, he could stay in the game world for a long while.
...
The central square of Golden Rose City was arguably the most crowded place in the entire empire.
Although the fourth expansion, "Shining New World," was now open, and most players were exploring and battling in the new world, many players still remained in the old world, where there were also many opportunities.
The central square was bustling with noise and a constant stream of people.
Seeing Su Yu in his iconic "Elemental Harmony" set, the surrounding players immediately exclaimed:
"Boss Ke, you're finally back in the game!"
"Welcome back, Boss Ke!"
"You must be really dedicated, coming online right after getting home from such a tough battle at the giant spring!"
Su Yu waved to the players with a smile, then leaped into the sky and said, "Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, but I have some business to attend to, so I'll be on my way."
"Go get 'em, Boss Ke!"
Amid the players' farewells, he flew toward the Golden Thistle Palace.
He planned to check on Aijie first, then head to the newbie village to talk to Tiana's father (or should he call him father-in-law?) and update him on Tiana's recent activities, so he wouldn't worry too much.
...
...
Time flew by.
Before they knew it, seven days had passed, and it was now December 9th.
These seven days were relatively peaceful for Blue Star, with almost nothing noteworthy happening.
The game world was equally calm.
When Aijie returned to the palace, she found that her clone hadn't caused any significant issues, and both domestic and international affairs were well-managed, which greatly relieved her.
Tiana spent this time with her father and younger sister. As she put it, her father was getting older and had intermittent "repetition syndrome," so she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before it was too late.
As for Morningstar, apart from a few days (in-game time) when she returned to the Astral Plane to visit her mother, she stayed in Su Yu's mage tower, attempting to refine the "Star Marked Eye," which could elevate her to the peak of the Seventh Rank.
Her efforts had already yielded some success. In her own words, "I've found a way to refine it! I'll definitely succeed before the final battle on Blue Star, so don't worry!"
Aijie, Tiana, and Morningstar all had rather monotonous days, and Su Yu's routine was similar.
Apart from spending his free time with Tiana and Aijie, he dedicated almost all his remaining time to training.
Before attacking the Himalayan Spring, he had borrowed a total of 500 billion Psychic Coins from various sources!
Of these 500 billion, 200 billion were borrowed from Aijie, 260 billion were directly obtained from Chairman Hu, and the remaining 40 billion came from the surplus of his territory's treasury.
The day after borrowing the money, he scoured the entire game world, using his wealth and connections to purchase a large amount of high-rank monster materials.
In just half a week, 500 billion Psychic Coins were reduced to 50 billion.
Now, with 450 billion worth of resources still untouched, he had more than enough to fuel his training, with no fear of running short.
With such abundant resources, his main body entered a frenzied training mode, converting the mountain of high-rank monster materials into his own strength through the mage tower's mana pool.
For the entire seven days, from December 2nd to December 9th, he was almost entirely devoted to training, earning him the reputation of a training fanatic.
As for Su Yu's clone, it continued to fulfill its duties, prioritizing the "training of the mage corps."
However, having learned from past mistakes, he allocated one-third of the clone's time to completing quests and gathering golden potions and items.
In particular, the golden "Mana Recovery Potions" were a top priority, as they were currently depleted and needed to be restocked.
