Chapter 936: Credit Exchange List
Chapter 936: Credit Exchange List
The war between the two planets was once a clear-cut affair, with both sides having a thorough understanding of each other's military deployments.
The Skrulls had a dense network of spy satellites orbiting Earth, leaving no secrets hidden. Meanwhile, Earth had valuable military intelligence provided by Zhu Guorui and Cindy Doppler. Both sides were well-informed about their adversaries.
However, a dark cloud now loomed over the clear skies.
They had just discovered that another force was involved in this conflict.
This force had been laying the groundwork for the past 50 years, orchestrating the war between the two planets. But who could these shadowy puppeteers be?
...
As the debate raged on in the meeting room, Su Yu followed Donna to her home.
The moment they arrived, Donna sprinted to her bedroom, peeled off her jacket, and flopped onto her bed, hugging a long pillow and rolling around, clearly showing her love for her bed.
Su Yu stood by the bed, watching her with a helpless expression.
Noticing Su Yu's gaze, Donna let go of the pillow, lifted the communication device on her right wrist, and summoned a virtual panel, tapping away on it.
The surface of the device glowed with a soft blue light.
After a minute or so, the light gradually faded.
Donna sighed in relief, turned off the virtual panel, and tossed the device to Su Yu.
"Here, the exchange list is inside. Take a look," she said, flipping onto her side.
"Thanks, Senior!" Su Yu caught the device.
Although he had already ascended to the divine rank and didn't need to call the sixth-rank Donna "Senior," being sweet to her, a game inspector, could only be beneficial.
Hearing Su Yu call her "Senior," something inside Donna stirred.
Initially, she had intended to close her eyes and drift off to sleep.
But then, she opened her eyes and smiled at Su Yu. "Junior, the nearly 40,000 credits the principal gave you were meant to help you grow quickly after the war.
Students like us, who are only at the sixth rank, can barely earn 10,000 credits in a year. The principal is really favoring you!"
Donna's tone was a bit sour. After all, 40,000 credits was a significant amount, and she was envious.
But considering Su Yu's "Seed of the Universe" title, she felt a bit more at ease.
The more talented individuals received better treatment—this was a rule set by the Hymn, and Su Yu deserved his extra credits.
"Hehe, I do have a lot of credits," Su Yu laughed. "But I need to use them wisely in the war. After all, if I lose my life, the credits will be meaningless."
As the device landed in Su Yu's hands, a virtual interface popped up.
This interface closely resembled the "game panel" within the game, and the language was automatically translated into Chinese, making it easy for Su Yu to navigate.
He tapped to open the exchange list and found that it was divided into six major categories.
The first category was—Equipment.
When Su Yu opened the equipment section, he saw a variety of items listed according to their quality and rank.
Equipment for fifth to eighth-rank users was available, with different qualities ranging from rare to epic and legendary, covering all professions.
A sixth-rank rare quality piece (blue) cost 50 credits.
A seventh-rank rare quality piece cost 300 credits.
An eighth-rank rare quality piece cost 1,000 credits.
If Su Yu wanted to buy a complete set of eighth-rank rare equipment, it would cost him 10,000 credits, which would significantly boost his strength.
However, Su Yu didn't want to spend his credits on equipment.
He could acquire it himself later, such as by entering the game to collect eighth-rank white items, gilding them to legendary quality, and bringing them out. There was no need to waste such valuable credits on equipment.
The second major category was—Potions.
Potions came in a wide variety of types and qualities.
The third major category was—Materials.
The list of materials was extensive, almost overwhelming Su Yu with the sheer number of options.
Thankfully, the exchange list had a "search" function.
Su Yu used this feature to find that the "Advanced Defensive Rune" and the materials needed to build a transcontinental teleportation array were available, which put his mind at ease.
The fourth major category was—Skill Books and Secret Manuals for Various Professions.
The skills and techniques that Earth humans had learned from the "Evolution" game were incomplete and limited in number.
The Holy Silver Civilization had already emerged 260 million years ago, back when Earth was in the age of dinosaurs.
Over the course of 200 million years, the Holy Silver people developed an immense array of skills and spells.
In the Evolution game, however, each class only has between 100 to 300 skills.
In terms of the number of spells mastered, even a fifth-tier minor mage from the Holy Silver Civilization could easily overpower Su Yu!
The reason the Holy Silver people taught Earthlings a censored version of their knowledge was primarily to protect the Skrull people.
Otherwise, if Earthlings learned the complete version, everyone would be able to challenge higher tiers, and even seventh-tier upper-class mages could defeat Skrull god-level beings. The Skrulls would be in serious trouble.
In this category, there were many spellbooks and secret manuals that Su Yu had never seen before. If he exchanged them, they would undoubtedly significantly boost his overall strength.
The fifth major category in the exchange list was—advanced technology from Skrull.
The Holy Silver Civilization was primarily a magic-focused civilization, and their technological research wasn't as deep.
However, this "shallowness" was relative to civilizations of the same level. When compared to Earth and Skrull, the difference was like day and night!
Su Yu opened the list and flipped through it, only to find that he couldn't understand most of the technological terms.
What was a "Celestial Orbit Line"?
What was a "Green Wind Substance Generator"?
What was a "Gamma Ray Burst Utilization System"?
He simply couldn't comprehend these things.
The final category, the sixth major category, was—large-scale weapons from the Holy Silver Civilization.
Among these large-scale weapons, there were both tech-based ones (like the "Fission Ray Generator" that Su Yu immediately recognized) and magic-based ones.
...
Before Su Yu could take a closer look, an impatient voice came from the bed. "Junior, I'm already tired. I'll send you the entire exchange list now, and you can go back and study it at your own pace!"
"Sure, thank you, Senior!" Su Yu replied quickly and returned the communication device to her.
Being able to take the exchange list back to study was perfect!
Once back, he could copy the entire list and post it on the official forum, setting it to "visible only to me."
The game also allowed access to the official forum.
This way, he could study the list during his free time in the game without wasting precious real-world time.
...
Dona moved quickly. In less than half a minute, she successfully exported the exchange list and sent it to Su Yu's phone.
Upon receiving the list, Su Yu immediately forwarded it to Councilor Hu Jingyi.
At the same time, he flatteringly asked Dona, "Senior, there are tens of thousands of items on this list. Do you have any particular recommendations?"
Su Yu had a reason for asking this.
Dona, being a student at the Holy Silver Secret Court, should know which items on the list were better or more suitable for Earth's current war situation.
Asking Dona directly for her recommendations would save him a lot of time studying the list.
Moreover, Su Yu was quite "considerate." He immediately took out a "50" credit badge and placed it on Dona's nightstand.
Seeing the credit badge, Dona's eyes lit up, and she suddenly wasn't tired anymore.
She sat up in bed, smiling at Su Yu. "Junior, I do know a bit about this. However..."
She paused for a moment and continued, "50 credits are a bit too much. This question is only worth 30 credits. I can only accept 30 credits from you."
"No problem, Senior." Su Yu picked up the credit badge from the nightstand, held it with both hands, and enthusiastically handed it to her. "The extra 20 credits can be a prepayment for future questions! Please keep them!"
"That won't do, Junior." Dona directly refused him and shook the communication device on her wrist. "I'm always being monitored by the Hymn. Accepting 50 credits might be considered bribery by the Hymn, and I don't want to take that risk.
Let's do this: you give me 30 credits, and we can discuss the price for future questions later."
"Um... okay." Su Yu didn't argue further.
He quickly opened his necklace, took out three "10" credit badges, and handed them to Dona.
However, this made him curious about the Hymn, the super AI.
If Earth humans won this war, would they also be controlled by the Hymn?
But thinking about this was pointless. If the Hymn truly wanted to control Earth, they wouldn't stand a chance.
This thought flashed through Su Yu's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
...
Dona happily accepted the three credit badges and her gaze softened when she looked at Su Yu.
She smiled kindly, "Junior, the prices in the exchange list are generally fair, with no particular item offering exceptional value. If you're going to choose something, it's best to pick what suits your current situation. What's your strategy for dealing with the Skrulls? You can tell me, and I can give you some recommendations based on your actual circumstances."
"Strategy?" Su Yu hesitated at the mention of it.
During the meeting, they had indeed discussed a strategic plan. But should he reveal this plan to Dona now? After all, she was an outsider. Was it safe to tell her?
Seeing Su Yu's hesitation, Dona immediately understood his concerns.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Junior. I won't leak any information. I can swear an oath to Saint Song. If I ever betray your trust, may I be stuck at the sixth rank for the rest of my life."
As she spoke, a green light flashed on her communication device, and a gentle adult female voice came from it, "Saint Song has recorded your oath. Please be cautious with your words and actions in the future."
"Alright then," Su Yu relaxed.
With Saint Song's assurance, he had no more concerns.
He spent a minute explaining the strategic plan for Earth.
Worried that Dona might not understand, he even searched for a map of Earth online and showed her the location of the Fuji Spring, where the final battle was to take place.
After listening to Su Yu, Dona nodded, "I see. Your plan is to retake all the springs, leaving only one for the Skrulls, and then engage them in a decisive battle there, right?"
"Yes, exactly."
Dona was starting to feel drowsy, her eyelids drooping.
She lay back on the bed, her eyes half-closed, and said, "In that case, you'll need the 'Tarin Defense Grid.' This defense grid isn't particularly strong, but it can encircle the entire chain of islands. You can trap the Skrulls inside and fight them there, and it's relatively inexpensive."
"'Tarin Defense Grid'?"
"Right. You can look it up when you get back. The exchange list has detailed notes on its functions," Dona yawned.
"Got it." Su Yu continued, "Sister, do you have any other recommendations?"
"Other..." Dona thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, there's also the Psionic Crystal."
"Psionic Crystal?" Su Yu was taken aback.
He knew what a Psionic Crystal was—a pure crystalline form of psychic energy. But was it that straightforward? Just exchange for raw psychic energy?
"Of course, haven't you noticed how beneficial Psionic Crystals are for you?" Dona rolled her eyes, "Many of your players have enhanced talents and have the potential to reach the divine rank. But Earth's resources are limited, and you can't make all of them reach the divine rank. By exchanging for Psionic Crystals, you can directly elevate those who otherwise wouldn't have the chance. Isn't that better than exchanging for anything else?"
"You're right," Su Yu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.
Dona's words had truly enlightened him. Directly exchanging for Psionic Energy seemed like a good idea.
"Alright, you can go now! Come back if you have any more questions..." Dona was really tired. She didn't even finish her sentence before drifting off to sleep.
Seeing Dona already deep in slumber, Su Yu shook his head lightly.
Why did the Saint Silver race need so much sleep? He hadn't slept since he ascended to the sixth rank.
It was quite strange that such a sleepy race could unify the Galactic and Saint Silver star systems.
Su Yu didn't want to disturb Dona and certainly didn't dare to take off his coat and sleep next to her.
He silently "floated" out of the bedroom, gently closed the door, and left Dona's house.
...
After leaving Dona's house, the first thing Su Yu did was forward the exchange list to Chairman Hu Jing.
It only took a few seconds for the Chairman to reply with a simple message: "Received."
Su Yu thought for a moment and sent another message, "I asked Dona for recommendations, and she suggested two things: the 'Tarin Defense Grid' and Psionic Crystals. Please study these options. I'm going to log into the game now."
