Chapter 904: Sunday Secret Realm (Part 3) - The Divine Rules
Chapter 904: Sunday Secret Realm (Part 3) - The Divine Rules
The moment this idea sprang to mind, it took root and flourished in Su Yu's thoughts, branching out in every direction.
The 14 Blue Star players were undoubtedly the first to enter the secret realm.
Judging by the orange light that appeared on the Matriarch's forehead and Jenny's departure to fetch someone, it was clear that the Skrul natives would appear one by one in the vicinity of the village.
If the 14 of them stuck together and eliminated each new arrival, not a single Skrul would survive!
They could spare the friendly races like the White-Headed Eagles and the Rhinoceros Spirits, but every other creature and adventurer would be eliminated!
They could even keep the number of adventurers in the secret realm below 25!
Wouldn't this make their victory a certainty?
...
However, the secret realm wouldn't be as simple as Su Yu imagined.
The moment this thought crossed his mind, the Matriarch saw right through him.
"Hehe, young man," the Matriarch smiled kindly. "I can tell you're thinking, 'Should I use my superior strength to eliminate some of the other adventurers so I don't have to worry about getting the 'Sunday Essence'? Right?"
Su Yu's thoughts were laid bare.
But he quickly put on a bold face and replied, "No way! How could I be such a person?"
"Hehe, I hope you're not," the Matriarch said, shaking her head with a smile when Su Yu didn't admit it.
Then, she turned serious. "Adventurer, before we start fishing, I must emphasize the rules set by the divine beings.
You and your kind must adhere to these rules at all times, or the sacrificial altars will no longer be accessible to you and your people."
"Rules set by the divine beings?"
"Exactly," the Matriarch glanced at Su Yu. "The divine beings are all-knowing.
They are aware of the enmities among you adventurers, some of which are so deep that they demand bloodshed upon sight.
However, the divine beings did not gather you here to fight each other but to fish for offerings. Internal strife among adventurers does not serve the divine beings' interests.
Therefore, the divine beings have set the following rules: No adventurer is allowed to harm another, restrict another's freedom, or steal another's catch.
Even actions that hinder other adventurers' progress, such as blocking their boats from leaving the harbor or driving up prices, are forbidden.
If the divine beings discover any violations, the shell coins you receive will be reduced according to the severity of the offense, and you may even lose the coins you've already earned. Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Su Yu frowned.
It seemed the secret realm had anticipated the possibility of adventurers banding together and had imposed restrictions to prevent it.
These rules favored independent adventurers and indeed made the secret realm more fair, ensuring that success depended on individual skill.
"Ah! There are no easy loopholes to exploit," Su Yu sighed inwardly.
...
At that moment, a male Blue Star, dressed in a brown tunic and with a rather ordinary appearance, was led into the inner chamber by Jenny.
"Mother, I've brought the person," Jenny said, bowing formally.
"Good, thank you," the Matriarch replied.
At the same time, a flash of orange-yellow light appeared between her eyebrows.
Based on Su Yu's guess, this was likely the divine being's instruction.
"Jenny," the Matriarch said, "another adventurer has appeared under the windmill at the eastern mill. Go and bring him here, just like the others."
"Understood."
Jenny didn’t say much more, turning to leave the inner chamber and closing the door behind her.
---
In the room, Su Yu and the small blue alien faced each other.
Although he didn’t know who the blue alien was, Su Yu was certain that this was likely a player from Earth.
To be cautious, he needed to verify the identity first.
Su Yu spoke first, "Heavenly King covers the earth tiger."
"Scrooge two-fifty," the alien replied.
Exchanging the code, both of them smiled at each other.
Now that they confirmed they were on the same side, things would be easier.
"I’m Su Yu, and you are?"
"I guessed it was you, Su Yu. I’m Zhong Feng!"
"Really, it’s you! I never thought you, a big, burly guy, would end up in such a small and weak body..."
"Cough, cough!" Just as Su Yu and Zhong Feng started chatting, the Queen's cough interrupted them.
"Adventurer," the Queen looked at Su Yu sternly, "could you please leave for a moment? I need to discuss matters of Sun Village with this adventurer."
"Uh... Sure." Su Yu could only agree.
Although he wanted to tell Zhong Feng about this secret realm right away, the Queen was a Fourth Rank powerhouse. Defying her would likely result in a swift and deadly slap.
So Su Yu turned and walked toward the door.
As he walked, he turned back to Zhong Feng and said, "Listen carefully to what the Queen has to say. I’ll wait for you outside."
With that, he left the inner chamber and closed the door behind him.
---
After leaving the inner chamber, Su Yu took in the lavish decor of the room and let out a light sigh.
Passing through this secret realm wouldn’t be too difficult, but leading 14 fellow Earthlings through it at the same time would be quite a challenge.
Fortunately, they had a head start, which would give them an advantage in their endeavors.
Zhong Feng would probably be in the inner chamber for a while.
Su Yu needed to wait outside, but he couldn’t waste these precious minutes. He had to make use of this time.
Wait, he had an idea!
Su Yu noticed a writing desk with paper and a pen. He walked over, picked up the pen, and began writing down the contents of the exchange list he had memorized.
This exchange list was crucial information, and they couldn’t always come to the Queen to check it, so recording it now would be useful in case of emergencies.
---
About five minutes later, Jenny led another male blue alien into the inner chamber.
This blue alien was ordinary, with tattered clothes, no different from Su Yu.
They exchanged a glance but didn’t speak to each other as they entered the inner chamber.
A short while later, Zhong Feng emerged from the inner chamber.
His brows were furrowed, and his expression was grave.
Seeing Su Yu waiting outside, his frown eased slightly.
As agreed before entering the secret realm, Su Yu would be the main commander, and the others would provide input, with Su Yu making the final decisions.
This problem should be handed over to Su Yu, the main commander!
"Su Yu, while I was inside, I asked. The one currently in the inner chamber is Yun Zhongmu. This means the order is the same as when we entered the secret realm," Zhong Feng said immediately upon meeting Su Yu.
They had entered the secret realm in this order: Su Yu, Zhong Feng, Yun Zhongmu...
The Queen was now summoning them in the same order.
It seemed the Queen’s summoning order followed this sequence, with a five-minute interval between each.
