Chapter 680: Guidance (Part 1)
Twenty minutes later, Little Tian saw his parents off from the headquarters and returned to the team.
Seizing this opportunity, Su Yu gathered the twelve players and began to explain the precautions they should take when heading to Skrul.
These precautions were hard-earned lessons from the top players of the past and ancient cultivators, as well as Su Yu's own experiences from his previous two trips to Skrul. They were invaluable.
"Actually, this trip to Skrul is a great opportunity," Su Yu said, looking at the twelve players.
"Currently, most of the high-tier seventh and eighth-rank powerhouses on Skrul are on Earth. You can disguise yourselves and assume fake identities when you arrive; the chances of being exposed are minimal.
"Especially in the outer regions of the Sun Empire and the Lankte League, and the surrounding small countries. As long as you're careful, you should be fine."
As he spoke, Su Yu hung a large map on the wall. This map was a complete overview of Skrul, clearly marking the geographical locations of each country and the various beast clans.
"Uh-huh," the twelve players nodded, indicating they would follow Su Yu's advice.
"Are you all familiar with the five continents of Skrul?" Su Yu asked, pointing to the map.
"Of course."
Su Yu nodded. "Since this is your first time, my advice is to go to the countries surrounding the Wilderness Continent for training."
His finger traced a circle on the map, encompassing the Skrul nations on the periphery of the Wilderness Continent.
"By going to these countries, you can use them as a base to enter the Wilderness Continent. The Wilderness Continent is the largest landmass on Skrul, where various beast clans coexist.
"Once you enter the Wilderness Continent, you can hunt beasts, collect materials like the blood, fur, bones, and hearts of sixth-rank beasts, and then use these materials to craft equipment and potions to enhance your strength."
"Understood!" Several of the twelve players rubbed their hands together excitedly, their eyes burning with enthusiasm.
For these players, the biggest challenge was acquiring better equipment and potions.
Currently, the game had only released up to the fourth expansion, and the highest-tier equipment obtainable from dungeons was only fourth-rank.
As a result, most of them were wearing third or fourth-rank gear, which was somewhat embarrassing for a sixth-rank powerhouse.
If they could obtain sixth-rank materials and craft them into equipment on Skrul, it would undoubtedly be the fastest way to boost their strength!
And even if the equipment became obsolete, it could still be traded with other players, making it a win-win situation.
"Ice Black Tea," Su Yu called out one of the player's names.
"Boss, you called me?" Ice Black Tea was genuinely surprised. He was one of the six Chinese players who had the least interaction with Su Yu. They had only added each other as friends and barely chatted.
He never expected to be the first one called by the boss!
"Yes, of course, I called you," Su Yu said, lowering his voice to whisper. "You're the only assassin among the twelve players. Sending you to the Wilderness Continent to kill beasts would be a waste of your skills.
"I have a different route in mind for you. If your teleportation point is close to these locations, I suggest you cause some trouble there."
Su Yu cast a spell to shield the others' view and then drew two curved lines on the map.
These lines were located within the Sun Empire and the Lankte League, leading to some major cities that weren't capital cities.
Seeing the two lines Su Yu drew, Ice Black Tea's expression grew serious. He had a pretty good idea of what Su Yu was planning.
"If you visit these cities, you can use your profession's advantages to steal resources stored by local warlords and prominent families.
Notable and relatively easy targets include the Lanfeng Family in Wieg City, the 033 National Treasury in Yuhui City, and the State University in Sunset City..."
Su Yu rattled off over a dozen names.
Binghongcha was extremely surprised.
How did Master Ke know these places were rich in resources and easy to steal from?
However, he didn't ask and instead memorized every location Su Yu mentioned.
Master Ke was right; for an assassin, killing monsters in the Wild Continent was a waste of talent.
The place where he could truly shine was by stealing resources and gathering intelligence from the Skrulls.
...
After some time, Su Yu finished listing all the good theft locations he could think of.
Finally, he nodded. "Yes, that's all. Binghongcha, if you visit all these locations, your bounty might surpass the combined gains of all the players in the Wild Continent. You must seize this opportunity!"
"Thank you, Master Ke!" Binghongcha was ecstatic.
"You're welcome, just remember to stay safe!"
"Understood."
...
After ending the private communication with Binghongcha, Su Yu removed the concealment that shielded everyone's view.
However, after a moment's thought, he reactivated the concealment, this time only leaving Zhongfeng in the loop.
"Zhongfeng, it's your turn."
"Got it, please go on," Zhongfeng's expression became particularly focused.
"Here's the thing. When I was talking to Binghongcha earlier, I told him that his profession as an assassin isn't suited for killing monsters in the Wild Continent. Instead, he should leverage his skills for theft.
The same applies to you.
A Druid's 'Leopard Form' can also remain hidden for long periods. If you engage in theft, you could acquire even more resources."
"'Binghongcha'?" Zhongfeng was taken aback. "You mean 'Binghongcha,' right?"
"Yes, Binghongcha, my bad. I got a bit confused there." Su Yu slapped his forehead.
"Do I have to go into theft as well?" Zhongfeng was a bit uncertain. "Druids are strong and can fight. I thought the Wild Continent would be more profitable."
While a Druid's 'Leopard Form' can indeed remain hidden, assassins have a range of skills like 'Mug,' 'Pick Lock,' and 'Steal.'
Was it really fair to ask a Druid to steal?
"Rest assured, I've planned a different route for you. This route involves a lot of travel, and with your 'Travel Form,' you have a significant advantage over Binghongcha."
Su Yu then traced a large circle on the map with his finger, a circle much larger than the one he had shown Binghongcha!
Zhongfeng focused and saw that the locations Su Yu pointed to were various vassal states surrounding the Sun Empire.
These vassal states were not very powerful, with their top-tier fighters typically only reaching the Seventh Rank. Some smaller countries didn't even have a Seventh Rank fighter, with Sixth Rank fighters considered 'National Protectors.'
"Zhongfeng, don't underestimate these countries," Su Yu said seriously. "They are generally right-wing, conservative monarchies.
After hundreds of generations, the private treasuries of their kings and dukes are filled with countless treasures!
No matter which private treasury you raid, the items you find will benefit you for a lifetime!"
