Chapter 97: Commander Su Yu Addresses the Crowd on the City Wall
"Commander Ke, welcome home!" On the tower of the city wall, Zhenhong was the first to step forward and shout loudly.
The other players gathered around Su Yu, excitedly saying:
"Welcome back, Commander Ke!"
"Commander Ke, your video last night was incredible. My whole family watched it several times. You're amazing, and we're all so proud of you!"
"You're an inspiration to all of us!"
Faced with such praise, Su Yu humbly replied, "It's nothing, really. I just did a little bit of work."
But before he could finish, the enthusiastic players interrupted him, "Commander Ke, no need to be modest! Your contributions are clear for everyone to see, and your deeds will be remembered for generations!"
"Modesty aside, a hero deserves the treatment a hero should receive!"
"Commander Ke, when are you planning to cause more trouble on Skrul?"
"Commander Ke, who is the 'Prime Minister Cao' you mentioned in the video? Why use such an old-fashioned title?"
The Blue Star government had not yet revealed information about the "ancient great beings," so everyone only knew that "Prime Minister Cao" was a powerful entity, but they didn't know who he was.
Su Yu smiled, about to answer, when a small figure in a brown leather armor squeezed through the crowd and leaped into his arms, clinging to his neck like a koala.
This small girl was Xiaotian.
"Commander Star, I waited for you for ten whole days," Xiaotian whispered, burying her head in his chest.
"I'm back now," Su Yu gently patted Xiaotian's back.
"Can you take me with you to Skrul next time?" Xiaotian looked up, her face serious.
"If you can reach the Sixth Stage of the Holy Domain, I'll take you," Su Yu smiled.
"Then it's a deal!" Xiaotian let go of his neck and jumped back to the ground, hugging his arm instead.
Su Yu ruffled Xiaotian's hair.
What a little fool, reaching the Sixth Stage is no easy feat. By the time he goes to Skrul again, she probably won't have reached the Holy Domain.
...
Su Yu turned to Yishen, who stood to the side with a smile, preparing to address the crowd.
But at that moment, he overheard a conversation between two players nearby.
These two players were members of the first division of the [Imperial Blood Heaven-Slaying] guild, ranking among the top ten thousand players in the entire game.
They were discussing heatedly:
"Commander Ke's assassination of the League of Renkter's chairman must have thrown the Skrul into chaos, right?"
"Definitely. With the chairman assassinated, their country must be in turmoil!"
"And don't forget the Sun Empire is still watching closely. The Skrul might erupt into a full-scale civil war!"
"I think that's possible. Even if not a civil war, Commander Ke and the other leaders will disrupt their plans. We have a significant advantage now!"
"Maybe by the end of the war, we can even seize Skrul as our own territory!"
The players around them smiled in agreement, filled with confidence about the future of the war.
Seeing this, Su Yu was suddenly alarmed.
Is everyone being too optimistic about the current situation? Has my return and success made them think the Skrul are no big deal?
Realizing this, Su Yu knew he had to do something.
He gently disengaged from Xiaotian's embrace and said to Yishen, "I need to say a few words to everyone. Yishen, make sure to record the video."
"Understood!" Yi Shen immediately responded, activating the game's built-in screen recording function.
Su Yu nodded and flew out of the tower window.
After soaring higher into the sky, he turned to face the players below and said, "Hello everyone, I am Kexing, and I have a few important things to say."
Hearing Su Yu's words, the players on the city walls respectfully stopped cheering and turned their attention to him.
Once all eyes were on him, Su Yu spoke clearly, "I overheard some of you earlier and noticed that many of you are overly optimistic about the war situation. Some are even becoming complacent, which is a very dangerous sign!"
"I'm not here to rain on your parade, but I must tell you that, based on current trends, there is still a 90% chance that our species will be wiped out!"
"At that point, only a few hundred 'lucky ones' will be kept in zoos for the Skrulls to admire, while the rest of us will die! I am not exaggerating!"
Although Su Yu said he wasn't there to dampen their spirits, he did indeed pour a bucket of cold water on the players present.
Many began to reflect on his words.
After some serious thought, everyone realized that Su Yu was right. After he revealed the true nature of the Skrulls, many had developed a sense of complacency, thinking, "The Skrulls are nothing special."
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became much quieter, with many falling into silence.
Su Yu paused for a moment and then continued, "There are 15 eighth-rank Divine-level warriors on Skrul, 7 of whom are Skrulls; there are 167 seventh-rank Legendary warriors, 63 of whom are Skrulls; and there are nearly 2,000 sixth-rank Saint-domain warriors like me, with tens of thousands at the fifth rank! Tens of thousands, everyone!"
"Besides the high-ranking warriors, Skrul's technology is at least three centuries ahead of ours. We haven't even fully developed controlled nuclear fusion, while they already have cold fusion energy devices installed in ordinary people's mechs! And their population is no smaller than ours!"
As Su Yu spoke, the crowd below fell completely silent.
The fact that there were 2,000 others as powerful as Su Yu, along with a technological gap of several centuries, was indeed a daunting challenge.
Su Yu scanned the crowd below and continued, "Facing such a powerful enemy, we cannot afford to be complacent. The idea of underestimating them is utterly absurd! Even I can't guarantee my own survival. I hope everyone can face reality and be realistic, avoiding complacency."
After speaking, Su Yu slowly descended from the sky, preparing to return to the tower.
But then he remembered the players asking about "Prime Minister Cao." He decided to use this opportunity to clear things up for everyone.
"I have one more thing to add," Su Yu looked at the silent crowd below:
"The 'Prime Minister Cao' in the video is Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period; 'Old Zhu' refers to the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, whose courtesy name is Guorui."
"They have been alive since before the depletion of psychic energy and have reached very high levels of cultivation. In the future, we will see more of these old masters, so don't be too surprised."
With that, Su Yu landed and flew back to the tower.
The players on the city walls stared at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
Su Yu's words had already shaken them, but this additional information was even more shocking!
Prime Minister Cao and Old Zhu are actually ancient ancestors who have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years?! How is that possible?
