Chapter 729: "Buzz~"
Chapter 729: "Buzz~"
In fact, the players had truly achieved the impossible!
December 31st was the final day of the expansion. By this day, not a single inch of the new world had been occupied by the invading forces, and all the lost territories had been reclaimed.
Through the collective efforts of the players, the native inhabitants secured a crushing victory! Kevin Plantagenet himself likely never imagined that the players could be so powerful, much less suffer such a devastating defeat.
...
Of course, the expansion was just a side note.
Returning to the main topic, when it comes to making money, the most profitable activity is always "cross-expansion trade."
In the first expansion, the most lucrative venture was establishing trade routes with the Elven Kingdom. The Elven Kingdom is the focus of the second expansion.
In the second expansion, the most profitable endeavor was opening trade channels with the Pandaren Empire, which is the subject of the third expansion.
Following this pattern, the most profitable venture in the third expansion was trading goods in the New World.
Now, with the fourth expansion underway, the most profitable opportunity is to trade with the next expansion.
According to Su Yu, the next expansion is titled "Planar Odyssey."
The content of this expansion is as follows:
After discovering the plane of the Shining New World, the Planar Traveler Bard did not stop his search.
Over the next 18 years, he discovered six small planes!
The largest of these planes is half the size of the main plane, while the smallest is one-twentieth the size.
With this, the main plane entered the era of planar expansion!
Su Yu's task is straightforward.
He needs to find Bard, obtain access to these six small planes, and sell the products the main plane needs to these planes, in exchange for resources to bring back.
No one from the main plane has visited these small planes yet, and Su Yu is well aware of their essential goods. This venture will be incredibly profitable!
...
Su Yu shared his idea with Morning Star and opened the private chat window with the Winged Dragon:
"Winged Dragon, how much money does Aupsi City currently have in its accounts?"
The Winged Dragon quickly replied, "A little over 6.8 billion Spirit Coins."
Su Yu: "Oh wow? That's more than the last time!"
Winged Dragon: "This is because Dave is currently very popular, and almost every player in the game comes to him to exchange for Sunflower Seeds. With high player traffic, the financial situation naturally improves."
Su Yu: "I see."
Su Yu: "Prepare 5 billion Spirit Coins for me. I need to purchase high-grade monster materials for my training."
Winged Dragon: "Understood."
Su Yu: "One more thing, where is the Planar Traveler Bard right now?"
Winged Dragon: "Bard... let me check with Crimson."
A few seconds later, she replied, "Bard is currently in the capital of the Windchime Empire, attending a sacrificial ceremony."
Su Yu: "Got it... have Vina Blackgold prepare, I'm going to meet him shortly."
Winged Dragon: "Alright."
...
An in-game hour later, Su Yu met the Planar Traveler Bard in person at the Giant God Peak, southwest of the capital of the Windchime Empire, just as he finished the sacrificial ceremony.
The Giant God Peak is the tallest mountain on the Windchime continent. This towering peak, composed entirely of hard rock, stands tall against the blazing sun, always looking down upon the surrounding mountains.
Bard is a star spirit radiating a golden glow, with a round head featuring three golden circular openings and a mane of white fur around his neck, reminiscent of a lion.
As the great Rune Master, Ryze, once said, the harmonious sound of his footsteps is the echo of change.
...
At the summit of Mount Targon, two figures sat formally at a stone table.
Morning Star, the cat, hopped out of Su Yu's pet space and, out of respect for the godlike being across from them, perched politely on Su Yu's shoulder.
"Buzz~" A strange sound emitted from Bard's forehead, seemingly a greeting to Su Yu.
Despite the oddity of the sound, Su Yu instantly understood its meaning.
He quickly replied, "Master Bard, I am also very pleased to meet you for the first time!"
"Buzz~"
"I am not representing Alizette. I am here on my own accord to discuss some private matters with you," Su Yu explained.
"Buzz~"
Su Yu paused, "Well, four years ago, the suggestion to have the Golden Rose and Lane Empires team up to ambush your nation was indeed mine. However, you can't apply double standards, can you? You and Lane can join forces to attack us, but we can't do the same to you? That doesn't make sense, does it?"
"Buzz~"
...
Morning Star couldn't bear to watch any longer and scratched at the fabric on Su Yu's shoulder with her paw, "Hey, can you understand what he's saying?"
"Of course, I can understand," Su Yu nodded. "Every sound Master Bard makes is like a language imprinted in my mind. You can think of it as a one-way encrypted language."
"Uh, okay." Morning Star's ears drooped, feeling a bit bored.
She could only understand what was being discussed through Su Yu's responses.
...
The conversation between Su Yu and Bard continued.
"Buzz~"
Su Yu replied smoothly, "I came to find you because I know you've discovered six small planes similar to the New World. I want to be the first to enter these planes and trade goods with the local inhabitants."
"Buzz~"
Bard's voice was particularly loud this time, and his body trembled, as if he was in extreme shock.
Indeed, Bard had not made the discovery of the six small planes public. Currently, only he knew about them, and the secrecy was at its maximum. How did Su Yu find out?!
Feeling Bard's surprise, Su Yu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my true identity is a 'Prophetic Scholar.' Nothing can be hidden from me. Alizette and the Elven Regent have both experienced this. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
"Buzz~"
Bard fell into deep thought, pondering Su Yu's words.
After a moment, he emitted another sound, "Buzz~"
Su Yu had already anticipated what Bard would say and was not surprised by his reaction.
He smiled faintly and continued, "I knew you wouldn't easily agree to let me enter those six planes. However, I can offer you a piece of information in exchange for that privilege."
"Buzz~"
"This information is about your avatar, Wood Spirit. I know where it is. If you allow me to enter those six planes, I will tell you its location."
Every godlike being has an avatar, and Bard was no exception. His avatar was called Wood Spirit.
While Bard was still in the New World, Wood Spirit disappeared during an accident.
Since then, his avatar had been completely "off the grid." He searched for it for five to six years in the New World but never managed to find it.
Su Yu actually knew the location of Wood Spirit! Should he make the exchange?
