Chapter 733: The Illusory Duel Reopens
Chapter 733: The Illusory Duel Reopens
"Actually, it's like this," Su Yu said as he sat on the bed, lying beside Alyssa. He gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist and explained softly, "I just hit level 83."
"Oh? Congratulations!"
"But I'm out of resources now. I did the math, and I need at least 50 billion Psychic Coins to reach the next tier."
"50 billion?! That’s not a small number at all."
"Indeed, it's not a small number, but I'm planning to earn that much in a month…"
There was no need to hide anything from Alyssa.
Over the next few moments, Su Yu laid out his entire plan, including his meetings with Bard and his strategy to sell resources from the main plane to six secondary planes.
Morning Star, the cat, didn't stay idle. She lay in Alyssa's arms, chiming in with Su Yu and adding details to his explanation.
Alyssa, however, remained tense throughout the conversation, never relaxing.
At first, her tension was due to shyness.
After all, they weren't married yet, and lying so closely together made her feel a bit awkward.
But then her tension was because of what Su Yu was saying.
Bard had actually discovered six secondary planes!
Some of these planes were even larger than the New World?!
These planes all had intelligent life, and Su Yu had already used his prophecy to determine what they lacked. He had also obtained access to these six planes from Bard…
"Six secondary planes… Why are you telling me this now?" Once Su Yu finished, Alyssa turned to face him.
Their faces were now less than 20 centimeters apart, making Alyssa's cheeks flush slightly.
Looking at Alyssa's adorable, flushed face, Su Yu smiled and explained, "I just found out myself, while predicting the next major event. Then I formulated this plan to make a huge profit. And…."
Su Yu reached out to gently pinch Alyssa's now rosy nose, grinning, "This way, I can also pay back the 200 billion I owe you."
"Ah? You still owe me 200 billion? I had forgotten about that." Feeling Su Yu's breath, Alyssa's heart began to race!
Morning Star noticed Alyssa's "abnormal" state and quickly jumped onto the pillow, placing a paw on her forehead, "Alyssa, do you have a fever?"
"I… don't!" Alyssa blushed, turning to hug Morning Star tightly, making the cat meow for mercy.
Su Yu watched the sisters bicker, smiling but not joining in.
Once their playful fight subsided, Su Yu pulled them both close and said to Alyssa, "To complete this plan quickly, I need the country's full resource integration capabilities. You'll help me, right?"
"Of course, there's no question of not helping between us," Alyssa replied, tapping Su Yu's head and lifting her chin, "Since I'm helping you so much, how will you repay me?"
"Speaking of repayment…" Su Yu's heart warmed, and he slipped his hand under Alyssa's clothing, ready to take things to the next level.
But at that moment, a vibrant, multicolored Portal opened in the center of the bedroom.
Su Yu and Alyssa were startled, looking up at the portal.
Out of the portal stepped a figure dressed in imperial regalia, adorned with elaborate headdress—a second "Alyssa."
This "Alyssa" looked furious.
As soon as she emerged from the portal, she pointed at Su Yu on the bed, "Beast! Release my true body!"
Su Yu: "…."
Alyssa: "…."
Morning Star: "…."
...
...
Su Yu's plan to earn money was proceeding smoothly.
Not long after meeting Aijie, her avatar issued several orders, instructing the Minister of the Interior to assist Su Yu in collecting the necessary resources.
Among the players, there was a buzz that CEO Ke was planning a massive profit-making venture. The "Relevant Authorities" also mobilized all their resources to help Su Yu coordinate the transportation of the required materials.
Su Yu himself didn’t idle either.
After leaving the palace, he immediately headed to the empire’s major granaries, storing the stockpiled food into his necklace.
However, the collection process was slower than Su Yu had anticipated.
It took him a full four days.
On the afternoon of the fourth day in-game, he finally gathered all the items on the list and prepared to head to the small plane for the trade.
But just then, Su Yu received a game notification: "Ding, your remaining game time is less than 4 hours (real time), which is insufficient to participate in the [Illusion Battle] event. Do you wish to borrow tomorrow’s game time to participate in this event?"
"Accept."
"Decline."
Seeing the notification, Su Yu was momentarily taken aback. The [Illusion Battle] could actually allow the use of tomorrow’s game time? That’s a lot more player-friendly!
However, Su Yu didn’t decide to participate this time.
"I’ll leave the opportunity for other players! I’m off to make some money." Su Yu chose "Decline" and teleported to the Wind Chime Empire.
...
Su Yu, of course, knew about the [Illusion Battle]. After all, it was a fixed event held on the last night of every expansion pack.
The event had been a hot topic on the forums, with everyone speculating who the champion would be. Su Yu couldn’t have been unaware of it.
However, he had no plans to participate.
The reason was simple—now, the rewards from the [Illusion Battle] were more geared towards the entire human population rather than just the champion.
In such a scenario, it didn’t matter who claimed the final reward, so it was better to let ordinary players have a chance to compete.
Even during the [Illusion Battle] Su Yu had participated in, there was a trend towards rewards benefiting the entire human population.
In Su Yu’s participation, the final reward included a set of sixth-tier equipment and five types of [Mercenary Camps].
While [Mercenary Camps] were highly beneficial for the entire human population, they were practically useless to the champion himself.
The same applied to the previous [Illusion Battle].
During the last [Illusion Battle], Su Yu didn’t participate due to his focus on attacking the psychic spring. He later learned the champion’s reward through the "Relevant Authorities."
The champion of the previous [Illusion Battle] was a player from the American server. In addition to a full set of fourth-tier epic equipment, they also received a golden item—the [Underground Shelter (Golden)].
The [Underground Shelter] functioned similarly to the [Mercenary Camps], allowing the recruitment of high-level NPCs to serve humanity.
However, the key difference was that the [Underground Shelter] came with production modules. Through a series of complex processes, it could produce food, water, power, and even psychic energy!
Moreover, the [Underground Shelter] had an astonishingly strong outer shell. Experts assessed that even 1,000 simultaneous nuclear explosions wouldn’t breach it.
The entire shelter was airtight and could prevent all forms of radiation damage.
If humanity ever decided to detonate all nuclear weapons on Earth, this might be the last safe haven.
Given this, Su Yu decided to focus on making money. He could always pay attention to the final results later.
