Chapter 829: The Basement
Coco, taken aback by Coco's sudden tackle, Su Yu quickly reached out to catch her petite frame.
Coco tightly wrapped her arms around Su Yu's neck, savoring the familiar scent, feeling truly content. She had been waiting for this moment for so long. Finally, it had come to fruition.
However, seeing this, Meiko Chen did not look pleased. After all, she used magic to try to separate Su Yu from Coco. At the same time, she said, "Coco, you can't act this way. You are a princess, you should maintain your dignity."
But Coco was very resistant, not wanting to be separated from Su Yu. "Why not? Su Yu is the best friend of the Dragon Clan, and he really likes you. You said, 'Su Yu, right?'" Su Yu felt a bit embarrassed but offered a polite smile in response.
"Of course, Su Yu is the best friend of the Dragons, and he likes you. But how? You still want to start a cross-species romance?
Meiko Chen's expression turned serious as she used her magic to try to separate Su Yu from Coco. "If you keep this up, I promise I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan."
Su Yu nodded gently, "Okay, I promise. I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan."
"But I'm not sure what you said. I can't believe that I'm the best friend of the Dragons, and I really like you. You said, 'What? How else would I know if you're a princess? I promise I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan."
"Uh... Okay, I promise. I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan.
"This potion will have a permanent effect; you can now only transform into a dragon, but you need to be careful. If you keep this, I promise I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan.
Zong Feng and Old Li were still stunned as they watched Meiko Chen transform back into a human form, her red hair flowing in the wind, white skin, and wearing a bright red outfit, she looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a slight resemblance to Gaia Gado. Seeing the familiar sight, they moved with surprise, he couldn't believe his eyes. "What? I have a problem?" she asked, "No, I don't have a problem." I promise. I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan.
Zong Feng and Old Li exchanged expressions, trying to be serious. "If you keep this, I promise. I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan."
Su Yu ignored the conflict, breaking eye contact, and Su Yu couldn't believe it. He said, "You are the best friend of the Dragons, and I really like you. You said, 'What? How else would I know if you're a princess? I promise I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan."
"Uh... Okay, I promise. I won't tell anyone in the Dragon Clan.
”
"Custom-made... I understand." Su Yu nodded.
However, Su Yu suddenly thought of something and quickly added, "But the timing is quite inconvenient right now. Most of the higher-level cultivators and advanced players above the Divine Transformation stage are not in Huaxia but in the Pacific Nation, suppressing the rebels."
"To have a custom-made equipment potion, I'm afraid you'll have to wait another three to four days."
"Sure, no problem," Queen Red Dragon took a sip of her juice and replied calmly. "We're here on Blue Star for about 20 days, waiting for a few days won't be an issue."
White-headed eagle Docni raised an eyebrow, but she didn't say anything.
Upon hearing Su Yu's words, Zhong Feng and Lao Li's expressions changed: "What did you say, rebels? There are rebels in the Pacific Nation?"
Zhong Feng suddenly remembered the files he had found in Manina's office regarding Gordon being controlled by the Skru, and his face paled.
Is Gordon going against us?
"Yes, Prime Minister Gordon of the Pacific States has rebelled," Su Yu replied.
He glanced at the White Dragon Princess Coco, who was still hanging around his neck like a koala, and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's head back to headquarters, and we can chat on the way."
Without waiting for Zhong Feng and Lao Li to respond, Su Yu turned to the Red Dragon Queen and the Bald Eagle, Docni: "As for the next few days, I'll take you all on a tour of Blue Star and let you experience the local customs and culture of our planet."
"Fine, be my guest," the Red Dragon Queen said nonchalantly.
……
After that, Su Yu used the Teleportation Array to send the group to the relevant department headquarters.
Upon returning to headquarters, Su Yu learned about the current situation on Skull Star from Zhong Feng and Lao Li. He also briefed them on the full story of Gordon's rebellion.
For the next three days, Su Yu spent all his time outside of gaming with Princess Koko, Queen of the Red Dragons, and Dokni, the White-Headed Eagle, exploring the scenic spots and famous mountains and rivers of Blue Star.
During their journey, Su Yu and his companions concealed their auras and frequently changed their appearances. As they traveled, they also deepened their understanding of one another.
Su Yu paid particular attention to showcasing the efforts and unity of the Blue Star humans to the dragon and the Bald Eagle, Drokni, hoping to strengthen their resolve to cooperate.
These three days were not idle for anyone except Su Yu. The other Great Cultivators, players, and the Blue Star United Government were all busy.
To re-establish an effective screening mechanism for officials and timely identify hidden traitors within, a great purge... I mean, a grand rectification campaign has begun!
In this Great Purge, the "Advanced Thought Examination" was no longer the sole standard for proving an official's loyalty.
The Joint Government reinstated its original personnel review mechanism, requiring each member to report their recent activities. The higher-ups in the government would then trace and investigate these activities, swiftly identifying any suspicious individuals.
Immediately send him to prison for interrogation. If there's evidence of collusion with the surrender faction, execute him without delay.
The relevant department is a key branch of the joint government, and its leadership, Zhong Feng and Xue Wenli, are both loyal and dedicated to their cause.
This large-scale reform movement was entrusted to them by Speaker Hu Jing, to screen officials worldwide for any possible connections with the Skrulls, especially in the upper echelons of various governments.
During this time, Su Yu also asked Zhong Feng to specifically "take care" of the Zhan Tian Sword and his Zhan Tian Guild, but no issues were found.
……
The Pacific Nation was also entirely taken over by the joint government's military forces.
The Pacific Nation suffered significant losses in this incident.
The country's western region is home to several densely populated cities, where numerous skyscrapers have been destroyed by the rebels' onslaught.
Power shortages, severe traffic jams, and these major cities alone have estimated casualties nearing a million!
Gordon and his core leadership team's rebellion paralyzed the local government organizations of the Pacific Nation, rendering the police system completely ineffective. This led to widespread social unrest and frequent disturbances.
As for the economic losses caused by this incident, they are astronomical!
It can be said that this single turmoil has set the economic and developmental level of the Pacific Nation back by almost 80 years.
The joint government forces entered and actively maintained order, providing medical assistance and ensuring a stable power supply, which was crucial in saving the lives and properties of the people.
As mentioned before, the 10,000 soldiers who were the first to arrive for the Pacific Nation's disaster relief mission were all at least Tier 3 or above in strength. The officers in charge were even more impressive, with most of them being Tier 4 or higher!
These soldiers and officers can all be seen as "little superheroes."
The Tier 3 Warrior profession allows its users to carry heavy excavators weighing hundreds of tons onto the battlefield, and their excavation speed is no slower than that of the heavy machinery.
Druid class can use "Nature Sense"
The spell detected signs of biological activity about fifty to sixty meters underground.
The cleric's ample healing spells were enough to save the injured and bring them back from the brink of death.
The United Government deployed nearly 30,000 soldiers in total.
Thanks to the combined efforts of these 30,000 "little superhumans," the rescue and recovery operations were completed in less than 72 hours, which was nothing short of a miracle!
After this incident, the Pacific Nation's trust in the United Government significantly increased, and the people were more cooperative, actively following the United Government's leadership.
The turmoil caused by this event gradually subsided by the third day.
...
...
Meanwhile, on the planet Skrul.
Today marks the 14th day since the Great Cultivators and players arrived on Skrul, and it is also the last day the spatial tunnel will remain open.
By now, almost all players and Great Cultivators have returned to Blue Star, but one person has not—Prime Minister Cao.
Prime Minister Cao did not immediately return to Blue Star after Li's departure because there was no need to. Returning to Blue Star would have left him with nothing to do, so he stayed on Skrul, using his strength to exert pressure on the Skrulians.
For example, a mere visit to the Sun Empire or the Rentech Alliance, even just the appearance of wanting to enter, was enough to send these nations into a state of panic.
However, today, he must return, as the spatial tunnel will soon close.
Before leaving, he had one important task to complete.
Three days ago, he received a long-distance message from Zhong Feng.
This message was transmitted through a long-distance communication channel constructed by the Dragon Emperor Caidrigus, allowing Zhong Feng's voice to reach him.
In this message, Zhong Feng conveyed two crucial pieces of information.
The first piece of information was to arrange for an archer-class player to go to Dragon Island.
The second piece of information was about Daoist Brother Zhu Yuanzhang.
In this message, Zhong Feng clearly stated Zhu Yuanzhang's current status and briefly explained how he achieved it.
At the end of the message, Zhong Feng left a note: "I am currently on Dragon Island and may not be able to go to the Makaton Kingdom. Prime Minister Cao, could you make the trip for me? Daoist Brother Zhu has a large number of 'Moonlight Positioning Stones,' which are very important for us on Blue Star.
Of course, if you can't go or if the Skrulians might track your movements, you don't have to. Keeping the information confidential is the top priority.
If you decide to go, you can find the entrance to the underground cave beneath the Makaton Palace. There is a red button at the entrance..."
In the message, Zhong Feng also explained how to contact Daoist Brother Zhu.
...
Prime Minister Cao was extremely surprised by Daoist Brother Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements, almost disbelieving his eyes when he first saw the message.
He and Su Yu, along with Daoist Brother Zhu, were among the first to arrive on Skrul. He never imagined that all three of them would cause such significant events!
Su Yu had turned the Skrul capital of Treina upside down, causing the deaths of tens of thousands of civilians and assassinating the Speaker, shocking the entire Skrul world.
As for himself, the "Handle of the Myriad Admonitions Sword" had been a significant boost for the Blue Star humans.
And Daoist Brother Zhu, who was thought to be missing, turned out to be so powerful that he had become the king of a small nation!
...
After careful consideration, Prime Minister Cao decided that he could use his self-created spell, "Leaf Conceal," to reach the Makaton Kingdom undetected.
Thus, he made the final decision to visit the Makaton Kingdom and meet Daoist Brother Zhu.
...
Having made his decision, Prime Minister Cao immediately took action.
He couldn't use "Leaf Conceal" to directly reach the Makaton Kingdom just yet. He needed to take some precautions to avoid arousing the Skrulians' suspicion.
So, he returned to the White Eagle Clan and had the White Eagle Emperor hold a "farewell ceremony" for him.
During the ceremony, he used a talisman to pretend to return to Blue Star, while in reality, he used the "Leaf Conceal" spell to completely hide himself. Once he was certain that the Skrulians were not paying attention, he headed for the Makaton Kingdom.
...
Prime Minister Cao, being a peak divine-level powerhouse, moved very quickly.
On the afternoon of the 14th day, he successfully arrived at the capital of the Makaton Kingdom without being noticed by the Skrulians. He then entered the underground cave mentioned in Zhong Feng's message.
Inside the cave, he found the "red button."
He pressed the button and sat on the chair inside the cave, quietly waiting for Daoist Brother Zhu to arrive.
