Chapter 74: The Revived Ancient Powerhouse — Zhu Guorui
Chapter 74: The Revived Ancient Powerhouse — Zhu Guorui
"Starting in six hours? No problem, game time doesn't affect the mission." Su Yu sighed in relief.
He had only entered the game at 10:30 AM today.
Including the hour he spent eating and entertaining Xue Wenli, he could continue playing until midnight, seamlessly transitioning into the next day.
So, he didn't need to worry about the mission failing due to insufficient game time.
...
Su Yu was walking down the main street of the palace, leading Tima by the reins.
"What should I do with these six hours? Should I head to Olante to start Tiana's main storyline?" Su Yu stroked his chin, pondering.
Tima seemed to have guessed Su Yu's thoughts. She quickened her pace, walking in front of him and gently nuzzling his chest with her forehead, as if hinting at something.
"Shall I take you to find your master?" Su Yu petted Tima's mane.
Hiss
Tima let out a happy hiss, clearly excited.
Su Yu said no more, mounting Tima and heading toward the teleportation array leading to Olante.
On the road, Su Yu suddenly received a private message from Xue Huoluo:
"Hey, Senior, my brother will reach Level 10 tomorrow. He asked me to check if we should team up for the first kill in the Level 10 dungeon tomorrow?"
"Reaching Level 10 tomorrow?"
Su Yu opened the level leaderboard.
As expected, he was still at the top, at Level 11 with 96% experience.
The second to tenth ranks were all Level 9, and below that, all Level 8.
Most of the people on the leaderboard had already used up their 12 hours of game time for the day, so reaching Level 10 would only be possible tomorrow.
Su Yu: "In that case, have your brother turn on the 'Friend Request Switch'. I'll add him as a friend, and I have other things I want to ask him."
Xue Huoluo: "Sure, Senior!"
Soon, Xue Huoluo's brother, Xue Bao, accepted the friend request.
Xue Bao: "Greetings, Senior Zhangjiao!"
Su Yu: "Just call me Kexing in the game. I won't be joining the Level 10 dungeon; I have other matters to attend to."
The equipment and first-clear rewards from the Level 10 dungeon wouldn't significantly boost Su Yu.
The only real benefit was the "World Renown," but the probability of obtaining it was very low, only about one in ten.
Su Yu didn't want to waste two or three hours grinding dungeons for such a low probability.
Xue Bao: "Alright."
Su Yu: "By the way, I just sensed abnormal spirit energy fluctuations in the real world, likely from the southeastern direction, the Donghai City. What happened there?"
Xue Bao: "Indeed, something significant happened in Donghai City, and your words were proven true! The strength in the game can manifest in reality."
Xue Bao had received a report from his deputy, Xue Wenli.
He didn't hold back, sending a few hundred words of private chat information, detailing the discovery of the Skrew bodies and the process of finding Su Yu.
Su Yu, having personally experienced it, was very familiar with these events.
He replied: "What punishment did the Songer Civilization inflict on the Skrews?"
Xue Bao: "The Songer Civilization completely eliminated the Skrew forces at the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye."
Xue Bao also relayed the message from the Songer Civilization's inspector.
At the end of the private chat, he happily added: "The YunluMountain Spring Eye is the world's largest spirit energy spring! Now it belongs to us, it's like bringing the a a].

and a snow blanket.
Su Yu, upon reading the private chat, felt slightly disappointed.
He had hoped the Songer Civilization's punishment would be more severe, like using a two-dimensional foil to to turn the Skrew Planet into a "2D" world.
Now, I've only managed to secure one giant Psychic Spring, which suggests that the Singer civilization still favors the Skrulls.
Su Yu: "But don't get too excited just yet."
Snow Leopard: "???"
Su Yu: "Haven't you noticed that things in the real world have been a bit chaotic these past two days?"
Snow Leopard: "Yeah, things have been chaotic. According to the latest data from the relevant authorities, the number of traffic accidents across the country has surged in the past two days, especially today! It's at least three times higher than the same period in previous years."
"We suspect the Skrulls are behind it, but we haven't figured out how they're doing it yet."
Su Yu: "It's the ghosts."
Snow Leopard: "Ghosts?"
As a staunch materialist, Snow Leopard definitely didn't believe in the existence of ghosts.
Of course, the ghost that haunted the European continent was an exception.
But now, hearing Su Yu's words, he was starting to believe.
Snow Leopard: "Ghosts? What kind of ghosts?"
Su Yu: "Ghosts are soul-like entities. A small number are remnants from ancient times, while most are projections created by the Skrulls and manifested in the outside world."
"Since they don't have physical bodies, physical attacks like guns and bullets are almost ineffective against them, making them very difficult to deal with. The surge in traffic accidents is their doing."
Snow Leopard: "So, how do we deal with them?"
Su Yu: "Once you reach Level 50 and achieve Manifested Power, you can use spells to eliminate them. Or some of the awakened great powers can also kill ghosts."
Snow Leopard: "Level 50? That will take at least a few months! We can't afford to wait that long. But speaking of ancient awakened great powers, we've contacted another one besides you."
Su Yu: "Who is it?"
Snow Leopard: "He calls himself Zhu Guorui, from the Ming Dynasty."
"Zhu Guorui?!"
Su Yu was taken aback, almost jumping off his horse, which caused Tima to neigh softly.
If he remembered correctly, only one emperor from the Ming Dynasty managed to defy fate and live on. It was the founding emperor, and his name was Guorui!
He never expected the authorities to contact him so early!
Su Yu took a deep breath to calm himself and replied:
"Tell Zhu Guorui and the young friend who has already achieved Manifested Power about the ghosts. As far as we know, only the three of us can effectively harm them."
To effectively eliminate a large number of ghosts, we still need the "Ghost Finder Scale," which is the true ghost killer.
Su Yu had initially planned to help the authorities create the "Ghost Finder Scale" himself.
But since they've contacted Old Zhu, let him handle it!
The creation of the "Ghost Finder Scale" is simple, with the only difficulty being the need for a Psychic Spring.
Now that the Yunlu Mountain Spring is in hand, Old Zhu can easily create the "Ghost Finder Scale."
Su Yu: "When you go to see Zhu Guorui and the young friend, don't go empty-handed. Bring them some Psychic Energy from the Yunlu Mountain Spring. Both the awakened great powers and the new generation of young people need it."
Snow Leopard: "Understood, Senior! Do you want me to personally deliver your share of the Psychic Energy?"
Su Yu: "No need. I'm currently in a secret realm near Chang'an, where ordinary people can't find me, and I don't want to go out... If anything comes up, contact me!"
Snow Leopard: "Alright, I'll take care of it after I log off. Farewell, Senior!"
