Chapter 852: Determining the Path
Chapter 852: Determining the Path
"Of course not," Su Yu quickly explained. "I just didn’t want to delay your work, right? By the way, have you found any leads yet?"
Xiao Tian, who had not participated in the battle at the Alpes Spring, had arrived in Rongcheng the previous afternoon to join Wang Mang's team, investigating the matters concerning the First Emperor.
Xiao Tian: "I just arrived in Rongcheng. How could I find leads so quickly? I’ve been playing the game today, planning to search for more leads this afternoon."
Su Yu: "I hope you find the leads smoothly! We don’t have much time."
Xiao Tian: "I know."
Xiao Tian: "Su Yu, the current online sentiment is not good. Many people are advocating for surrender."
Su Yu: "Sigh, I and the other cultivators are also dealing with this headache. But we have discussed some countermeasures, so the situation should gradually improve."
Su Yu: "Xiao Tian, I’m here to discuss another matter..."
Su Yu repeated the content he had been pondering over.
Finally, he asked, "Xiao Tian, if you rely on your first instinct, do you think the ‘Spatial’ path is better than the ‘Water’ path?"
Xiao Tian: "Hmm... First instinct is definitely the Spatial path! Because the Water path sounds too weak."
Su Yu: "Is that so? [Crying-laughing face]"
Xiao Tian: "But you shouldn’t make decisions based solely on my instincts."
Xiao Tian: "Don’t you have a [Fate Dice]? When in doubt, just roll the dice!"
Su Yu: "...I almost forgot about that."
Xiao Tian: "The Spatial Inheritance Stone is stored in the Yan Mountain United Government headquarters. If you need it, you can go there directly."
Su Yu: "Thank you, Xiao Tian!"
Xiao Tian: "What are we even thanking each other for? If not for you, I wouldn’t have had the second expansion’s main storyline, and the panda cub, I wouldn’t have achieved the top rank in the ‘Illusion Battle’ and today’s accomplishments."
Xiao Tian: "But... if you really want to thank me..."
Su Yu: "?"
Xiao Tian: "When I’m 20 years old, I’ll marry you, I’ll be your wife when I turn 20, okay?"
Su Yu: "..."
...
After their conversation, Su Yu left the game and took a supersonic aircraft to the military base, heading back to the country.
More than two hours later, in an office at the Yan Mountain United Government headquarters.
Sch Wearing a blue military uniform and exuding confidence, Xue Wenli walked into the office, carrying a well-sealed metal box in her hands.
"Su Yu, this is the Spatial Inheritance Stone Xiao Tian left behind. I’ve brought it to you," she said, handing the box to Su Yu.
"Thank you!" Su Yu quickly thanked, taking the box and opening it. The moment the box opened, a dense spatial energy immediately burst forth from the sealed box, filling the entire room with its vibrant energy, vibrating continuously.
Fortunately, the spatial energy did too strong to cause any significant damage. Xue Wenli, now a fifth-rank player, was immune to the spatial energy, but it was not too overwhelming. Looking inside the box, he saw a fistone-sized, colorless crystal approximately the size of a fist, with an indangible substance swirling within.
Su Yu nodded, "I can sense the dense spatial energy inside. This inheritance won’t be too simple, will it?!"
He picked the crystal in his hand, tossed it a few times, then pressed it to his forehead.
"Su Yu, are you planning to use this inheritance?"
Xue Wenli's beautiful eyes fixed on him.
"Still can't be sure yet," Su Yu shook his head slightly.
He extended his hand, and a golden dice appeared in his left palm.
"Let it decide which path I should take!"
Su Yu guided the magic from his brow to connect with the inheritance crystal, assuming a stance to absorb it.
Then, he threw the dice with his left hand.
Ding! Ding!
A beam of golden light struck the floor of the conference room, producing a clear and crisp sound.
The dice spun a couple of times and quickly came to a stop, with one side facing up.
"It's a '6'!" Xue Wenli's eyes lit up as she saw the number on the dice. "It looks like you're quite suited for this inheritance, Su Yu."
"Xiao Tian's intuition is pretty spot-on too." Seeing the number '6,' the heavy burden in Su Yu's heart finally lifted.
According to Su Yu's understanding, the [Fate Dice] rarely showed a '6.' Usually, a '5' indicated good luck, and a '4' meant it was worth a try.
From this, it seemed that the spatial inheritance must be quite powerful.
"Xue Wenli, go ahead and busy yourself. I need to go home and log in." Su Yu satisfactorily put away the spatial inheritance crystal and took out the [Hearthstone] from his backpack.
Using the [Hearthstone], he could directly return to his home in Donghai City without wasting magic on teleportation.
"Alright, you go ahead," Xue Wenli smiled and crossed her arms. "But there's one more thing you should be aware of—by tonight, the equipment and a small batch of potions for the Dragon and White Eagle Clans will be ready. You can go to Yunlu Mountain to check them out."
"Already that fast?" Su Yu was a bit surprised.
They were still in a meeting yesterday afternoon, and it was already ready today? The efficiency of secondary profession players was much higher than he had imagined!
"Alright, I'll go to Yunlu Mountain tonight."
...
After bidding farewell to Xue Wenli, Su Yu returned home.
Two minutes later, he logged back into the game, reappearing in the mage tower of the palace.
Noticing Su Yu had logged in, Xiao Tian quickly sent a message: "You're so slow! I've been waiting in the game for a whole day, and you're just logging in now?"
Su Yu: "Two hours in real life equal one day in the game. Can you blame me? [Sweat Emoji]"
Xiao Tian: "Alright, never mind that. Have you decided which path to take?"
Su Yu: "I've decided. I'm going with the spatial path. The dice rolled a '6' [Proud Emoji]."
Xiao Tian: "Really a '6'? Congratulations, congratulations!"
Xiao Tian: "So, where do you plan to go next to gather the materials for your breakthrough?"
Su Yu: "For spatial breakthrough materials, I definitely need to visit the [Spiral Cloud City] in the New World. There's a massive [Spiral Cloud Core] beneath the city, which is a treasure for spatial breakthroughs!"
Xiao Tian: "Sounds good. Need any help?"
Su Yu: "No, you're too weak. You'd just be a burden."
Xiao Tian: "[Angry Emoji][Angry Emoji][Angry Emoji]."
Su Yu: "Don't be mad. Train hard. When you're about to advance, I'll help you find the breakthrough materials."
...
Ending his private chat with Xiao Tian, Su Yu immediately set off for the New World's [Spiral Cloud City].
[Spiral Cloud City] is the highest point in the entire New World, a city that floats in the sky.
He had been there in his previous life, and he hoped things would go smoothly this time!
