Chapter 861: The Elder Sister Over 300 Years Old
As the game session was about to end, Su Yu remembered that Zhong Feng was still on the way to collect Psychic Coins. So, he sent Zhong Feng a private message: "I'm about to log out of the game today. You don't need to rush with the fundraising. We can transfer the coins tomorrow."
Zhong Feng quickly replied: "Perfect, I'm almost out of game time today too. We can transfer the coins tomorrow."
Zhong Feng then added: "Right, you forgot I mentioned this before—'The first batch of custom equipment and potions for the Dragon Clan and White-headed Eagle Clan are ready tonight.'"
Based on a message from Wen Li, the first batch of equipment and potions was indeed ready. Zhong Feng suggested: "Let's go check them out together now?"
Su Yu replied: "Sure, I'll be right over."
Zhong Feng was already in Cloud Forest Mountain, while Su Yu was at home in East Sea City. He immediately used a teleportation spell to join Zhong Feng at the secret underground base.

Su Yu took a quick glance at the remaining game time, only to find that there was a minute left.
Taking advantage of the last minute, he inventoried his backpack and necklace, checking his day's haul.
After the inventory, he let out a sigh of relief and a satisfied smile.
Today was truly a bountiful day!
He had harvested a total of three pieces of the Seventh Tier Legendary Whirlwind Cloud and one kilogram of the Legendary Stellar Rift Medium, and quite a bit of materials from the Whirlwind King as gifts. If they could have such a haul every day, they would only need seven days to gather all the necessary materials for their next breakthrough!
But unfortunately, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by.

As the game session ended, Su Yu took a deep breath and a satisfied smile, knowing that they had made the most of his game's time, he realized that the day was about to be rare and challenging, with the three pieces of the Seventh Tier Legendary Stone of the Ancients, the Red Dragon Queen Ruby, and the White Dragon Princess Coco, and the White-headed Eagle Duke Dokni, had transformed back into their original forms. The staff in lightweight power armor helped them equip the new pieces of equipment.
The staff were discussing the new batch of custom equipment and potions, and the atmosphere in the underground base was electric.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang was the main person in charge of this plan.
After absorbing ample spiritual energy, his strength had reached the peak of the Seventh Tier (equivalent to the Upper Seventh Tier).
He wanted to advance further, but it would be incredibly difficult to reach the Eighth Tier before the Great War. To reach the Eighth Tier, he needed to engage a position of doing nothing, so he volunteered to participate in the plan, taking the main person in charge.
Seeing Su Yu and Zhong Feng walk side by side, Emperor Taizong of the Tang laughed: "Su Yu, Zhong Feng, you're here! We're about to equip the three friends from the Dragon Clan and White-headed Eagle Clan, and we're about to start the first test.
Emperor Taizong's words had barely faded when a delighted little girl's voice rang out from a nearby platform: "Su—Yu—"
Princess Kokko, the White Dragon, spotted Su Yu and quickly transformed into a small, white-haired, red-eyed girl in a white dress. She zipped through the air like a white wind and landed right in Su Yu's arms.
Caught off guard, Su Yu still instinctively caught her.
The only ones who felt truly frustrated were the staff members who had been fitting Kokko with her equipment.
They had just finished putting on her chest and wing armor, a task that had required a lot of effort.
Now, all that hard work was for nothing as Kokko's transformation caused the armor to fall to the ground.
Several staff members shot Su Yu a glare.
"Sorry, sorry, everyone. I'll do it myself this time," Su Yu said with a sheepish smile.
Then, he gave a slightly reproachful look to Kokko, who was now hanging from his neck like a koala. "Kokko, you really need to be more considerate. Couldn't you have waited until we finished the equipment test?"
"Sorry," Kokko's face turned red, and she stuck out her cute little tongue. "When I saw you, I just couldn't help myself... But don't worry, when you put the equipment on me, I'll be on my best behavior, I promise!"
Before Su Yu could respond, the Red Dragon Queen, standing on the central platform, couldn't hold back her frustration.
She was examining the white chest armor she had just put on. Regardless of its functionality, she was quite satisfied with its appearance and craftsmanship, which matched her form perfectly.
Hearing Kokko's words, she couldn't help but comment, "Kokko, I know you're a young dragon, but you're over 300 years old. This young man here is only in his twenties. Can you please tone down the cuteness a bit?"
"Mind your own business, Auntie Greta!" Kokko's defenses crumbled the moment the Red Dragon Queen mentioned her age.
She retorted indignantly, "Age is just a number when two people are in love, right, Su Yu?"
"Uh..." Su Yu was at a loss for words.
He sighed, "Kokko, we're not in love. I've always thought of you as a little sister."
The Red Dragon Queen chimed in, "A little sister who's over 300 years older than you? Tsk tsk."
"Sister..." The word struck Kokko like a lightning bolt.
But upon reflection, she realized that Su Yu had never shown any romantic interest in her. It had all been her one-sided infatuation.
...
Emperor Taizong, seeing the situation spiraling out of control, quickly changed the subject: "Let's focus on testing the equipment. This is a matter of life and death for both our races. Su Yu, Kokko, let's put our personal feelings aside for now."
Su Yu nodded, his expression serious. "You're right, Elder Taizong. Kokko, the battle is only four months away. We need to focus on the fight first. We can talk about our feelings later, okay?"
"Okay... I guess." Kokko's voice was barely audible, and she looked a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, this was a critical moment for both humans and dragons. The gruesome sight of the Red Dragon King's mutilated body was still fresh in her mind.
If she let her emotions cloud her judgment now, it would be foolish.
"Come on, Su Yu, let's go put on the equipment!" Princess Kokko took Su Yu's hand and flew toward the platform.
