Chapter 92: Scene Battle, Thousand cups not drunk joins the guild
The golden exclamation mark hovering over Su Yu's head was a sight to behold. Many players wanted to comment, but they were at a loss for words. If Su Yu were an NPC, the golden mark wouldn't have seemed out of place. But he was a player! A player with a golden exclamation mark giving quests to other players—it was a bizarre sight indeed.
Despite the strangeness, players one by one approached Su Yu to accept the quest.
"Ding! Congratulations, you have triggered the major scene battle [Encounter in the Giant Tree Canyon]."
"Brief: Imperial Princess Alizia is about to travel to Maple City to negotiate with the rebel leader, Anzu Sefer. The path through [Giant Tree Canyon] is fraught with unknown bandits. The bandits are numerous, while the Princess's escort is very small."
"Objective: Assist player 'StarCrusher' in protecting the Princess's convoy, ensuring the convoy's damage does not exceed 50%, and that Princess Alizia must survive. (Current damage: 0%)"
"Reward: 3000 EXP, 10 Spirit coins."
...
After accepting the quest, the players gathered and discussed it animatedly.
"Enclose in the Giant Tree Canyon? This must be a major plot-related scene battle."
"Seems so. The meeting yesterday discussed the Princess's trip to Maple City."
"Main plot is impressive! There are actually quests of this scale."
"This quest gives a lot of EXP. I hope there are more like this."
Su Yu stood still, allowing players to accept the quest. Some players were very interested in the main plot and asked him questions about the storyline. With nothing better to do, Su Yu answered each one of them.
Players gathered around Su Yu to accept the quest, then stepped back to let others take their turn. The whole process was orderly.
After about five minutes, with half the players having accepted the quest, an assassin approached Su Yu from the outskirts of the square.
The assassin's movement immediately drew the attention of all nearby players, as he was the second-ranked player on the level leaderboard—Thousand Cups not drunk.
Earlier, several guild leaders had tried to recruit him, but all attempts ended in failure. Given Thousand cups not drunk's solitary nature, he had been standing in a corner of the square all along.
Until now, he finally moved.
Thousand cups not drunk walked up to Su Yu and said, "StarCrusher, can I join your guild?"
His words immediately caught the attention of all the guild leaders.
Thousand cups not drunk actually wanted to join StarCrusher's guild? No wonder he had rejected their invitations.
Su Yu looked at Thousand cups not drunk.
Thousand cups not drunk was a muscular man in his early thirties, his robust physique evident beneath his leather armor.
For a top-tier player like Thousand cups not drunk, Su Yu had no reason to refuse. He directly threw a guild application to him.
"Ding! Player Thousand cups not drunk has joined the guild."
"Welcome! Why do you want to join my guild?" Su Yu asked.
Could it be that my domineering aura has impressed him? Su Yu thought to himself.
Thousand cups not drunk replied, "I started paying attention to you when you cleared the [Azure Prairie] dungeon. Your ability to answer all the questions from the Sheep Village Chief shows that you have a deep understanding of the game, right?"
"Of course," Su Yu said without hesitation.
"Can the Assassin class be retrained into a Warrior class? To be honest, I don't like the Assassin class, but I'm not willing to delete my character and start over," Thousand cups not drunk explained his intentions.
Su Yu smiled. "I know about that, of course."
Su Yu not only knew how to retrain the Thief class into the Warrior class but also directly allowed Thousand cups not drunk to retrain into his favorite class from his previous life—the Warrior.
"Really?" Qianbei Budui's eyes lit up. "Can you tell me how to change my class? I'm open to any conditions!"
"Let's add each other as friends and chat privately."
Su Yu sent a friend request to Qianbei Budui.
Qianbei Budui knew this wasn't something to discuss in public and immediately accepted Su Yu's friend request.
The two of them switched to a private chat.
Su Yu: "Qianbei Budui, even though you want to switch to the Warrior class, I don't think it will completely satisfy you, though."
Qianbei Budui didn't respond, but Su Yu's words resonated with him.
Warriors needed to wear heavy armor to be effective in combat, and Qianbei Budui didn't want to be a cumbersome Warrior. In his mind, the Warrior class was only slightly better than the Assassin class, far from the perfect class he desired.
Su Yu continued to send messages: "I know of a class that would be a perfect fit for you, one that aligns with you perfectly."
Qianbei Budui didn't believe him. "What class?"
Su Yu: "The third expansion, 'The Pandaren Empire,' will introduce four new classes: Warrior, Daoist, Monk, and Scholar. The Warrior class is especially suited for you."
Qianbei Budui's eyes widened.
He was a Warrior in real life, so the Warrior class naturally aligned with him perfectly.
But...
"It's still four months until the third expansion opens. Looks like I'll just have to wait."
Su Yu: "No, no. I know of a hidden quest that can let you switch to the Warrior class early."
Qianbei Budui was shocked. How did Su Yu know about everything? Was he really the game designer?
Moreover, a hidden quest that would let him experience the next expansion's class early could fetch at least a few hundred thousand Psychic Coins on the black market. Many wealthy players would be willing to buy it.
Qianbei Budui, however, was not one to sell his secrets. He was determined not to spend hundreds of thousands of Psychic Coins to buy the hidden class.
Su Yu continued to send messages: "I can tell you about this hidden quest, but you must agree to help me in the Pandaren Empire by collecting some materials for me."
In fact, Su Yu had considered heading to the Pandaren Empire as soon as he entered the game. After all, there were no other players there, so the entire empire's resources would be his to exploit!
However, he received two main quests, and this idea was naturally put on hold.
"Alright, I agree," Qianbei Budui said, making up his mind.
A good opportunity might not come around again, and Qianbei Budui decided to seize this chance.
Su Yu: "Although you've agreed, I need to reiterate the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a Warrior."
"First, you will be sent to the Pandaren Empire, where you'll have to stay at least a month before you can return. Second, Warrior class skill books won't be available in the market, which will cause your power to lag behind the mainstream players for a long time."
"As for the benefits: First, you'll take up a class that aligns with you perfectly. Second, all the game resources in the Pandaren Empire will be yours, and for four months, no one will compete with you. You can explore freely."
Qianbei Budui thought for a moment and quickly replied, "I'm willing to become a Warrior! And I'll do my best to collect the materials you need."
Su Yu was pleased. "Very well, you'll follow me these next few days. After the quest is completed, I'll tell you how to start the hidden quest."
"Alright," Qianbei Budui replied.
If the Warrior class really did align with him, he was definitely willing to seize this opportunity.
As for the isolation, he had always soloed to level up, so changing the location wouldn't make much of a difference.
"I hope the Warrior class really suits me!" Qianbei Budui thought to himself.
