“Well, I didn’t expect the early Red -Eyed Black Dragon to be so polite.” Su Yu was a bit surprised.
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon was a big shot in his previous life! The Empire guild managed to become one of the top ten guilds nationwide mainly because of him and his team, who contributed at least 30% of their success. To see him so humble and adaptable in his early days was quite unexpected.
“Alright, I forgive you.” Su Yu replied, “But you have to tell me the truth. Which guild do you belong to? I have dealt with Zhan Tianjian, and you certainly don’t look like someone who works under him.”
“Um…This…” The Red-Eyed Black Dragon hesitated.
After a while, he replied, “Boss, actually we are members from the ‘Shepherd in the Clouds guild’. Our boss wants the skill scroll you put up for sale in the warehouse, but we don’t have enough spiritual energy coins, so we had to resort to this.”
“The Shepherd in the Clouds guild?” Su Yu laughed.
He was very familiar with the Shepherd in the Clouds guild because he used to be a member in his previous life.
The Shepherd in the Clouds guild was backed by the offline corporation Shepherd in the Clouds Group, one of the top 30 companies nationwide and the company Su Yu used to work for.
In his previous life, half a year after the catastrophe, the Shepherd in the Clouds Group sold off all its tangible assets and led all its employees into “Evolution”. It was then that Su Yu managed to enter the game.
So he almost burst into laughter when the Red-Eyed Black Dragon mentioned the “Shepherd in the Clouds guild”.
But he still replied seriously, “That’s good! I am very close to your boss Shepherd in the Clouds… How about this? I will teach you a trick. When you do it successfully, let the Shepherd in the Clouds know. He will promote and reward you!”
Red -Eyed Black Dragon: “Really? Thank you, boss! (
SuYu: ‘-
Two minutes later, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon went offline.
He then opened the official forum and wrote a sincere post with his own
ID—”Goodbye, Zhan Tian. My heart is chilled.”
In the post, the Red -Eyed Black Dragon mentioned that he was originally a member of the Zhan Tian guild, and had privately received a task from his boss, Zhan Tianjian, to collect village entry fees at the entrance.
He initially didn’t want to do it. Who could possibly enjoy such a job that made everyone despise them?
But for the sake of the guild, he took on the task. He was prepared to take the blame!
However, he never expected that Zhan Tianjian would message him privately and request him to admit that he was a member of the “Shepherd in the Clouds guild”, and make the innocent Shepherd guild take the blame for the forum scandal!
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon refused. His conscience wouldn’t allow him to do such a thing.
So he spilled out everything.
At the end of the post, he lamented, “I never thought Zhan Tianjian would be such a person! I must have been blind! I now swear with my ID ‘Red-Eyed Black Dragon’ that I will permanently quit the Zhan Tian guild and cut off all relations with them!”
The Red-Eyed Black Dragon’s post stirred up a great deal of concern on the forum!
The forum users laughed heartily. They didn’t expect such an unexpected twist after the original plot twist!
Members of the Shepherd in the Clouds guild were stunned. How did this somehow turn back on them?
Members of the Zhan Tian guild were shocked. Their boss was secretly pulling strings! No wonder they didn’t know.
Zhan Tianjian became furious. He checked the forum and wondered who this “Red -Eyed Black Dragon” was. He’d never seen such a brazen person!
In short, after the Red-Eyed Black Dragon’s post, the original conflict between the two factions gradually escalated into a multi-faction war.
The Shepherd in the Clouds guild quickly got involved. Regardless of whether the allegations were true or false, the guild publically denounced Zhan Tianjian’s shameful behavior.
Of course, Zhan Tianjian flatly denied it all.
Adding the trolls and hecklers into the mix, the official forum was in total chaos.
But all this had nothing to do with Su Yu.
Upon logging in, he headed straight for the Silver Snake Valley to the west of Nolan Village, entered the territory of the Level 5 monster [Silver Snake], and began prepping to fill up on the [Tears of the Goddess].
Being a Level 5 monster area, the Silver Snake Valley was completely empty.
So Su Yu gave it everything he’d got and started sweeping through the silver snakes in the area.
[Lightning Bolt] !
[Fireball Skill]!
He cast spell after spell.
-103
-64
-101
-63
Su Yu’s [Lightning Bolt] was still strong, powerful enough to instantly kill a Level 5 monster.
But by now, the [Fireball Scroll] seemed to be losing its oomph, with an average damage of 62 points, it couldn’t instantly kill a [Silver Snake] that had a health point of 70.
But Su Yu didn’t mind. If one [Fireball Scroll] couldn’t take it out, he could use two, right?
Thanks to Su Yu’s “money attack”, his terrifying levelling speed continued unabated.
The [Silver Snakes] in the Silver Snake Valley suffered under Su Yu’s onslaught – they fell like wheat before a scythe.
During his level grinding, Su Yu also secured equipment that a mage could use.
[Wind Velvet Belt Iv5 (Ordinary)]: Defense +4
Unfortunately, he couldn’t equip it yet, so Su Yu just threw it into his backpack for now.
Each time Su Yu used a skill, the “extra mana value” of the [Tears of the Goddess] increased by 3 points.
When dealing with the Empire guild, Su Yu had used more than thirty different skills.
So after another ten or so minutes of power levelling, and after killing about 180 [Silver Snakes], the [Tears of the Goddess] finally completed stacking!
[Tears of the Goddess (Rare)] Jewellery
Maximum Mana Value +150
Characteristic: Maximum Mana Value +450
The moment the [Tears of the Goddess] completed stacking –
“Ding! Epic hidden mission [Annie’s Revenge] activated. Do you accept?”
“Accept!”
“You have accepted the mission [Annie’s Revenge (Epic)].”
“Mission Description: You destroyed Annie’s favorite toy [Teddy Bear Tibbers] using the trap in the cave, causing her to bear a grudge against you.”
“Now, she has called upon her friend—[Star-forged Dragon King] Aurelion Sol to attack you.”
“As a highly prestigious Dragon King, Aurelion Sol will not attack you a second time if you survive his initial attack.”
“Mission requirements: Survive Aurelion Sol’s attack!” “Aurelion Sol’s arrival countdown: 05:59:56.”
“Mission failure penalty: Permanent account ban!”
“Mission reward: Upgrade [Tears of the Goddess], gain Experience Points XIOOO, Main Storyline Progress [The Glory of the Goldfinch Empire 0/100].”
Su Yu carefully read the long mission description.
While reading, his mood rapidly fluctuated.
In the beginning, Su Yu was speechless when he read “used the trap in the cave” as he hadn’t even gone into the cave to begin with! Seems like the text of the mission needs some tweaking.
However, as he continued reading and saw the name [Star-forged Dragon King] Aurelion Sol, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Aurelion Sol is a very powerful Level 84 NPC.
In the known game world, only 12 NPCs are stronger than him.
Even in the outside world, there are only around 15 Skru star warriors stronger than him.
One could say that Aurelion Sol is one of the most potent characters in the entire game! But Su Yu found it unbelievable that such a powerful being would come to the newbie village, or even attack him!
Su Yu found this utterly incredulous..
