Chapter 97: Two More Levels!
Chapter 97: Two More Levels!
"We won!"
"We won!"
After the battle, players waved their weapons in the air, shouting joyfully.
Although the battle wasn't particularly thrilling, the sense of unity and the triumph over a formidable enemy was exhilarating, bringing a great sense of achievement to everyone present! Not only the players who participated in the battle, but others who followed the events closely were also highly engaged.
This was the game's first large-scale battle, involving top guilds and elite players, even led by the legendary Counterstar. As a result, the battle garnered widespread attention across the game.
The official forums exploded with discussion threads, and some even provided text live broadcasts of the entire battle.
Several players who were part of the battle were streamers, and through their live streams, the battlefield dynamics were crystal clear to everyone.
Many players went offline to watch the streams, cheering on the guilds and top players from the sidelines.
Many players also got their first glimpse of the legendary Counterstar in action through these streams.
Back in the game.
After the battle, Su Yu became much closer with the nine guild leaders, no longer feeling the initial awkwardness.
They gathered around the corpse of [John the Baptist], laughing and joking, preparing to check the loot.
Yun Zhongmu said with a grin, "Does anyone have a player with a red hand? Let them touch the corpse."
True Red Eye Black Dragon wanted to recommend someone but stopped, thinking about something.
Su Yu noticed True Red's expression and said with a smile, "Let Sky Dragon touch the loot; her hand is the reddest."
"Who called me? Who called me?" Sky Dragon bounced over excitedly.
True Red Eye Black Dragon was surprised, "Counterstar, how did you know Sky Dragon's hand is red?"
Su Yu said solemnly, "Because I understand prophecy; I can see the future."
"See the future?" True Red Eye Black Dragon didn't believe it, "Do you know where I'll be a year from now?"
Su Yu nodded, "A year from now, you'll die at the hands of the aliens."
True Red Eye Black Dragon: "."
Hahaha!
The scene erupted in laughter.
Everyone thought Su Yu was joking and didn't take it seriously.
Only Snow Leopard stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Foreseeing the future? Is it true?
...
However, at that moment, little Sky Dragon had already picked up the bag dropped by the boss.
She opened it slightly, and a purple glow immediately burst out from the bag.
"An Epic item?!" All the guild leaders stared at the bag.
At this stage, players mainly wore white and green equipment. Elite players in large guilds or wealthy players could have a full set of green equipment with one or two blue items.
This was a purple item! It was probably the first purple item any player had obtained in the game!
Without hesitation, Sky Dragon took out the item and showed it to everyone.
[Blood Dance Crescent Moon Blade lv13 (Epic)]
Attack Power: 41-51
Strength +15
Physical Critical Rate +3%
Additional Skill: [Draw Sword Slash]
When using [Draw Sword Slash], 12 blood butterflies are generated along the path of the blade.
Item Description: Blood butterflies are delicious and are a must-have dish at royal banquets—Count Vladimir.
The [Blood Dance Crescent Moon Blade] is a single-handed weapon that increases strength and can only be used by Warriors and Paladins.
Su Yu couldn't equip it, so he glanced at it and moved on.
However, the Warriors and Paladins present had their eyes sparkling.
"I propose that this item be auctioned off to the highest bidder!" True Red Eye Black Dragon said first.
“I agree!”
“So do I!”
The players, warriors, and knights present all voiced their agreement.
With no objections, a lively bidding war immediately began.
“I’ll offer 1000!” Crimson Eye Black Dragon spoke first.
“1000 is too low. I’ll offer 1200!” Zachary Yee, the leader of Vast Seas, quickly responded.
“I’ll offer 1400!” another leader chimed in.
Su Yu wasn’t interested in their bidding.
He glanced at the remaining drops from the boss and found nothing useful for himself. Picking up the quest item, the Emblem of John the Baptist, he headed to the princess’s entourage to report back.
Beside the princess’s convoy, Su Yu handed the emblem to one of her attendants and respectfully said, “Your Highness, the enemy leader John has been eliminated. The bandits are now in full retreat and will no longer pose a threat to you and the convoy.”
The princess nodded approvingly. “Well done, Counterstar! Master Sivann has also repelled the enemy’s strongman, Madeleine. Once Master Sivann returns, we will continue our journey to Maple City.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” Su Yu replied.
Chime! "Main Quest: [Glory of the Golden Rose Empire] (10/100) completed. Reward: 2 World Renown, 1000 Experience Points."
This time, the quest reward was the valuable "World Renown," bringing Su Yu’s total World Renown to 5 points.
"I need to save up 10 points soon! With 10 points, I can purchase a territory," Su Yu thought to himself.
As he completed the quest, a golden light flashed around him, and he successfully leveled up to level 19.
Su Yu’s experience bar was almost full, and these 1000 points filled the gap, pushing him to level 19.
Seeing the golden light emanating from Su Yu, the surrounding players were all numb to it.
Counterstar has leveled up again! He’s now 9 levels ahead of the second-place player!
Why are you so outstanding when we’re all just players?
Su Yu didn’t bother to check the level rankings. Instead, he loudly addressed the players around him, “Everyone, come to me in batches to turn in your quests. Don’t crowd. I’m sure you’re all very satisfied with this quest, right?”
“Of course, we’re very satisfied!”
“Thank you, Counterstar, for the quest!”
“The rewards are amazing, I hope there’s another one soon!”
The players were all beaming with joy.
The rewards from this quest exceeded their expectations.
6600 experience points, 84 Psych Coins, plus the bandit drops, each player could expect to earn over a hundred Psych Coins and a random green item as a reward.
The players all looked at Su Yu with gratitude. Without Counterstar, they definitely wouldn’t have received such a rewarding quest.
One by one, the players approached Su Yu to turn in their quests.
The 84 Psych Coins were from Su Yu’s own pocket, while the green items were rewards from the system.
Chime! "Player 'Distortion' has completed the quest. You gain 66 Experience Points and lose 83 Psych Coins."
Chime! "Player 'Wild Prairie Rider' has completed the quest. You gain 66 Experience Points and lose 84 Psych Coins."
Chime! "Player 'Mobile Suit Reaper' has completed the quest. You gain 66 Experience Points and lose 83 Psych Coins."
As the players completed their quests one by one, Su Yu’s system log rapidly updated.
...
To level up from 19 to 20, he needed 28,000 experience points; from 20 to 21, 30,000 experience points; and from 21 to 22, 33,000 experience points.
With over 900 players turning in their quests, he earned a staggering 60,000 experience points!
Su Yu’s experience bar filled up twice, finally stopping at level 21 with 6% progress.
This battle had once again boosted Su Yu by two levels!
