Chapter 937: The Tashin Defense Net
Chapter 937: The Tashin Defense Net
In the headquarters meeting room on Mount Yan, every player and Grand Cultivator had a smartphone in hand, quickly scanning through the exchange list Su Yu had sent.
Su Yu had just sent the exchange list to Chairman Hu, who immediately had the AI, Deep Blue, create a group and forward the list to every cultivator and player present.
The exchange list was considered the highest-level secret on Earth.
However, everyone in the room was trustworthy, so Chairman Hu directly shared it with everyone.
Emperor Qin, who had just emerged from seclusion and was still unfamiliar with smartphones, sat next to Chancellor Cao, who kindly helped him access the exchange list and explained how to read it.
At that moment, Chairman Hu received a second message from Su Yu.
After reading the message, he immediately addressed the group, "Everyone, we have a new development. Su Yu just consulted with Donna, and she recommended that we prioritize the exchange of something called the 'Tashin Defense Net.' Let's take a moment to study what this is."
"Sure," everyone responded in unison.
Chairman Hu opened the exchange list on his phone and used the keyword search to quickly find the "Tashin Defense Net" that Donna had mentioned.
The "Tashin Defense Net" was categorized under "Large Weapons" and specifically as a "Defensive Weapon."
He tapped on the "Item Details" of the defense net and saw that it included both an image and a lengthy description.
Chairman Hu instructed Deep Blue to copy all the information about the Tashin Defense Net and project it onto the wall projector for everyone to study.
Deep Blue immediately complied.
Soon, the wall projector displayed a photo and detailed description of the Tashin Defense Net.

The Tashin Defense Net, also known as the "Tashin Bug Trap," was developed by a Planetary-level powerhouse named Tashin to combat alien insectoids.
The Tashin Defense Net appears as a massive golden web woven from incredibly strong Tashin fibers. At first glance, it resembles a fishing net from Earth.
However, this defense net is far from a simple fishing net.
While a fishing net is used to catch fish in water, the Tashin Defense Net can be inverted and placed in the sky, forming a giant, inverted bowl-shaped cover.
The defense net has many 2-meter by 2-meter gaps, which seem to allow small creatures to pass through.
In reality, these gaps cannot be penetrated by any living being. Any creature that approaches the net will be shattered by the spiritual energy attached to it.
In simple terms, it acts like a giant inverted shield.
A regular shield typically protects an object inside from threats outside, but the Tashin Defense Net is the opposite. It protects the outside from threats inside.
Once the defense net is set up, Earth's humans can remain outside and use the net to combat the Skrulls inside.
With sufficient spiritual energy, the Skrulls will find it extremely difficult to break through the defense net, effectively preventing them from escaping.
This defense net was specifically designed by the Planetary-level powerhouse Tashin for insectoids.
When insectoids attack other civilizations, they usually open a star-crossing portal and flood through it in large numbers until they consume the entire civilization.
Tashin's defense net can seal off the sky, ground, and underground within a radius of several hundred kilometers around the portal, preventing the insectoids from spreading throughout the world.
Coincidentally, the Skrulls are using a similar strategy.
The Skrulls are flooding Earth in large numbers over a period of time, much like the insectoids.
Therefore, Donna directly recommended this defense net to Su Yu, as it is the most suitable for Earth's current war strategy.

After understanding the function of the Tashin Defense Net, the players and Grand Cultivators nodded in agreement.
They all thought highly of this large defensive weapon, and Donna's recommendation was spot-on.
"I think this defense net is excellent," Zhong Feng said first. "It's perfect for the environment around Mount Fuji."
"And it's quite affordable," Fujiwara Chihana added. "Japan has a land area of about 380,000 square kilometers and a total area of around 1.2 million square kilometers including the sea. Setting up a defense net of this size... I did a rough calculation, and it would cost around 10,000 credits."
"Hmm," Chairman Hu nodded. "Let's note this down. We'll continue studying the exchange list, and if we don't find anything more suitable, we'll go with this defense net."
Chairman Hu scanned the room and said, "Anyone who needs to log in to complete their remaining game time can leave now. The rest of us will continue to study the exchange list."
No matter what happens, the game's 12-hour daily quota is non-negotiable. After all, with the in-game time running 12 times faster, it would be a shame to waste it.
"Then what about Emperor Qin Shi?" Zhang Zhenwei looked at Qin Shi Huang.
Qin Shi Huang didn’t have an account yet. Should they let him into the game to see it?
"I'll take a look too." Qin Shi Huang smiled. "I want to see what this alien-developed game is all about."
"Alright, Zhong Feng, take Emperor Qin Shi into the game," Hu Jing, the Chairman, instructed.
"Understood." Zhong Feng stood up and prepared to leave the meeting room to get a spare game helmet for Qin Shi Huang.
At that moment, Hu Jing thought of something and continued, "Zhong Feng, when you're in the game, please tell Su Yu for me: at midnight tonight, we’ll continue our assault on the giant Psychic Spring. He must participate, as he always earns over 2,000 credits each time, and with 17 springs, that’s over 30,000 credits. We can’t afford to waste these points!"
"Got it."
...
Meanwhile, Su Yu had already put on his helmet and entered the Evolution game.
He had recently made a trip to Skrul Planet and hadn’t played for over ten days.
He did log in earlier, but he was busy trying to break through to a new realm.
Now, back in the game, he felt much more relaxed.
"Still, the game is the best place to be, with plenty of time," Su Yu stretched his limbs comfortably.
In the game, time was more abundant, so he didn’t have to utilize every second as he did in the real world.
However, he couldn’t just idle around; he needed to find something to do.
"Maybe I should go see Tina and Alyssa first! By game time, it’s been about four months since I last saw them," Su Yu thought.
He took out the Planar Communication Emblem that could contact Tina and infused it with a bit of magic.
Almost simultaneously, Tina, who was far away in the Pandaren Empire, felt her Planar Communication Emblem vibrate.
She was startled at first, but then she was overjoyed.
She shouted to Alyssa, who was nearby, "Alyssa, Kexing is back!"
"Really?" Alyssa, who had been holding a bundle of bamboo, dropped it in excitement.
Alyssa and Tina loved pandas. Recently, they had been traveling and sightseeing in the Pandaren Empire, but they had grown tired of it and settled in a scenic area with mountains and water. They had even taken in a few adorable pandas.
Alyssa had just returned from the bamboo forest, selecting suitable bamboo for the pandas, when she heard this wonderful news!
Tina also infused her Planar Communication Emblem with magic.
A few seconds later, a faint blue Teleportation Portal opened nearby, and Su Yu, exuding a powerful godly aura, stepped out and stood before them.
Su Yu’s sudden teleportation caused quite a stir in the Pandaren Empire.
After all, a god-level being appearing without any prior notice was bound to shock the locals.
But upon recognizing the aura as Kexing’s, they immediately relaxed.
If it was Kexing, there was nothing to worry about.
Seeing Kexing standing before them, Alyssa and Tina were overjoyed.
"Kexing, you’re finally back! We missed you so much!" Alyssa and Tina rushed into Su Yu’s arms, burying their faces in his chest.
They had truly missed him over the past four months.
They often visited the real world to check if Kexing had sent any messages from Skrul Planet.
Now, Kexing was finally back! And this aura...
"Kexing, did you successfully break through?" Alyssa lifted her face from Su Yu’s chest, looking at him closely.
"Of course," Su Yu smiled. "The Sun Secret Realm is a great place. After completing it, my talents have undergone a qualitative improvement, and breaking through was quite easy."
"That’s wonderful!" Tina lifted her face, hugging Su Yu’s waist with a look of happiness. "Morning Star also just broke through and is currently resting in the Astral Plane. I must say, you two progress incredibly fast!"
At this, Tina’s expression suddenly dimmed.
Su Yu’s cultivation speed was like a rocket, and Morning Star, as his pet, had also benefited greatly. She had several major encounters and could absorb his experience crystals, reaching the god level.
Dina herself hadn’t encountered any significant events and was still a Lower Seventh Rank. She was still far from reaching the Divine level.
"It’s okay, Dina," Su Yu tightened his grip on Dina’s arm and said softly, "We’ve been through so much together, no matter what happens, I will never leave you two!"
"That’s more like it," Dina wrinkled her nose.
Alysa smiled, "I didn’t think you’d become so good at comforting people after your advancement, Wakstar. By the way, did everything go smoothly on Skrulon?"
"Very smoothly..." Su Yu wrapped his arms around Alysa and Dina and recounted in detail what had happened on Skrulon.
Since a lot had happened on Skrulon, it took him about an hour to finish the story.
Listening to Su Yu’s firsthand experiences, Alysa and Dina found it hard to believe.
They never imagined that the "Solar Secret Realm" would be so dangerous, where a single misstep could mean death for many.
Moreover, who would have thought that the perfect conditions within the secret realm would involve stopping a volcanic eruption?
Sighing softly after hearing the story, Alysa said, "Wakstar, Dina and I were thinking of going to Blue Star to help you, but it seems we can’t be of much help anymore!"
"Exactly!" Dina nodded in agreement.
They had originally planned to go to Skrulon to help Su Yu fight the Skrulons. Even if they died, they would just resurrect. Morningstar, their cat, had already died once.
However, a few days ago, the Saint’s Song issued a decree prohibiting anyone above the Seventh Rank from Blue Star from massacring on Skrulon. This restriction naturally included them.
Since they couldn’t go to Skrulon, they couldn’t help Su Yu much.
"It’s fine," at that moment, a panda they had raised came over to eat the bamboo Alysa had thrown on the ground. Su Yu reached out to pet the panda’s head and said to the two women, "You’ve already given me a lot of help in the past. Don’t forget, the humans of Blue Star wouldn’t have reclaimed so many springs without your 20% contribution! And we still need to reclaim 17 more springs, which will require your help!"
"That’s true."
"There’s one more thing," Su Yu’s expression turned more serious, "When the war begins, that’s when you’ll truly come into play! We’ve already established several bases behind enemy lines on Skrulon. Once the war starts, the Great Cultivators in those bases will wreak havoc in the Skrulons’ rear.
At that time, you’ll be able to play a crucial role. With Morningstar, you two at Eighth Rank and one at Seventh Rank, you can cause chaos without fear of death, making the Skrulons’ heads spin!"
Hearing this, both women’s moods improved significantly.
What they feared most was being unable to help Su Yu, and the growing distance between them, becoming more and more estranged until they were like strangers.
Now, knowing that Su Yu still needed them, they felt much better.
"Alright, we’ll go to Skrulon when the time comes," Alysa’s eyes sparkled like a galaxy. She had never been to Skrulon and was eager to see it.
Dina turned to look at Su Yu’s profile and asked, "Su Yu, what are your plans for the next few days? Do you need our help?"
"Hmm..." Su Yu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Not really. For now, I plan to continue gathering high-rank monster materials and training, hoping to push my strength to the peak of the Divine level before the war.
Additionally, I need to craft a complete set of equipment for a Divine-level expert. The old set I have is a bit embarrassing now."
Until now, Su Yu was still wearing the "Elemental Harmony" set he had obtained at the Sixth Rank, which no longer matched his status as a Divine-level expert.
It was time for a new set.
Alysa looked up, "Wakstar, if you need equipment, why don’t I ask Teacher Sarah to help you? She’s one of the best tailors in the world, and the quality of the cloth armor she makes is top-notch!"
"Uh... well..." Su Yu hesitated. Before entering the game, he had already thought about who to ask for help with his new equipment.
Sarah was indeed one of the best tailors in the world, but there were others in other planes who were even better. The person he had in mind was one of them.
However, since Alysa had already suggested it, he didn’t want to say anything more.
"Alright, I’ll visit Sarah," Su Yu nodded.
