“What? The Sky Dragon wants to join my guild?” Su Yu was taken aback.
Su Yu, of course, knew who this little girl called Sky Dragon was.
She was Emperor Blood Slays the Sky’s cousin, 14 years old, and her family was extremely, extremely…(omit 98 “extremely”)…wealthy.
After entering the game, Emperor Blood Slays the Sky didn’t play with her but instead handed her over to the Red -Eyed Black Dragon team.
Sky Dragon proved herself by maximizing her financial prowess and luck, becoming the core attack force of the Red-Eyed Black Dragon team. Her name frequently appeared on the leaderboard of various dungeons for achieving the fastest timing and first kill.
Furthermore, because of her adorable looks and the tiny panda she often carries, she was very popular in the game.
But why would such a girl choose to leave Emperor Blood and join his guild?
“Could she be a spy?” pondered Su Yu.
However, he soon put it aside.
He didn’t plan on managing a guild and given his specific circumstances, it wouldn’t take long for his guild to be infiltrated by members of other guilds, so he wasn’t concerned about adding one more to the mix.
Su Yu: “Alright! Let her join my guild after she reaches level 10. Red Eye, how about you? Do you want to come too?”
Red -Eyed Black Dragon: “forget about it, I’ve signed a contract with
Emperor Blood, I can’t afford the penalty for breach.”
Su Yu: “Okay…By the way, how was the response to the collaborative question-and-answer session we concluded last night?”
He had spent the whole night searching for information about the ghost and hadn’t had time to check the official forum yet.
Red -Eyed Black Dragon: “Boss, didn’t you pay attention? The forum’s response was great! Your praises are all over the place! If you don’t believe me, go take a tour of the village, you’ll likely hear words of admiration everywhere!
Su Yu: “Really?”
Su Yu ended his private chat with Red-Eyed Black Dragon and stepped out of the depot.
The dungeon merchant [Jenny] was right across from the depot.
At this time, a long line had been formed in front of [Jenny], with players queuing to buy tickets in order to teleport into the dungeon.
Many players were becoming impatient, eager to be teleported quickly.
New players were continually arriving, calling on their friends to join the queue.
“Mr Li, let’s go and play [Green Pasture] dungeon! I’ve been wanting the [Lucky Clover] dropped by the village chief of Sheep Village for a long time, it should last me until level 15!” Discover 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no𝒗elbin(.)com
“No way, you’re foolish! How are we even supposed to win?”
“You’re the fool! Don’t you know that Nemesis posted a guide to the dungeon yesterday? any player can get through now!”
“Of course, I do, but there are at least eight or nine hundred questions in that post! Do you remember them all?”
“Why should I remember? When the boss asks a question, why don’t we just open the forum and take a look? Are you really that dim?” “Oh, right…my bad, let’s gear up for the dungeon, come on!” Another pair of players joined the queuing ranks.
Exit and more players were coming out of the dungeon.
“Haha, finally done! Look at my [Wolf Shoot Bow]!”
A joyous archer player stood at the dungeon’s entrance, proudly showing off his bow.
“Look at my cool glasses? It was dropped by the village chief!”
Another player wearing the [Village Chief’s Glasses] posed like a detective.
“No matter what, we have to thank Nemesis! Without the answers he figured out, where would we get our equipment?”
“Right! Thank you, Nemesis!”
“Once I reach Level 10, I’ll apply to join Nemesis’ guild immediately!”
Players, indeed, praised Su Yu endlessly just like Red-Eyed Black Dragon explained, because Su Yu brought them practical benefits.
Watching the players’ happy faces, Su Yu’s mood brightened as well.
After all, do good to others and good will come to you!
After strolling around for a while, Su Yu headed to the Mercenary Trade Market to dismantle his stall from yesterday.
Mercenary Trade Market.
The spot was nowhere near as lively as it was yesterday, only a few scattered players stood around the stall.
These players weren’t there to buy equipment but out of curiosity to see what a blue-grade rare item looked like.
Su Yu approached to check the stall information.
Last night, he had placed 53 blue-grade rare equipment up for sale. Up till now, 41 of them had been sold with just 12 left.
What remained were mostly Level 3 blue-grade items, all the Level 5 items had been sold.
Selling these, Su Yu earned a total of 5040 spiritual energy coins, equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars.
But for Su Yu, this money was but a drop in the ocean.
He stored the remnant money and equipment in his backpack and left the Mercenary Trade market without a glance back.
The surrounding onlookers were taken aback to see the stall disappear, hurriedly spreading the word. Even the forum saw a couple of discussion threads on the topic.
But currently, players were busy grinding in the dungeon for equipment, so this incident did not create any waves.
After packing up his stall, Su Yu went to the Magic House, found the Mage, and reclaimed his extra-large skin backpack full of loot dropped by the Wolf King.
Under Mage’s reluctant gaze, Su Yu left the Magic House, went to the village square, and reported to the village chief.
“Brave adventurer!”
Learning that Su Yu was ready to go to the Goldfinch City, the village chief stood with his back to the east, his gaze full of depth:
“From the day you set foot in Nolan village, I knew we were destined to part. You’re alone in the Empire, remember to be cautious!”
“I will.” Su Yu replied.
“But before you leave, I must tell you about the history and current situation of the Empire so you can make your mark in the capital city.”
“Please do.” Su Yu resignedly replied.
If he remembered correctly, the “chief story time” was a long and tedious process that took a full 15 minutes!
And these 15 minutes can’t be skipped, every player must go through it.
Su Yu had no choice but to patiently listen.
“This story begins with the God of Creation making all things…” The chief began his slow narration.
15 minutes later, the story ended.
The history of the Goldfinch Empire doesn’t need to be elaborated. Apart from the in-game scholars, no one cared.
The present situation of the Goldfinch Empire could be summarised concise:
20 years ago, the Emperor Charles VI was making a fortune from his people, and his suppressive rule caused numerous famines and deaths.
The northern lords headed by Anzu Seifer and Landilus seized the opportunity to rebel, organising a “Kalet rebellion”.
The Kalet rebellion was well supported by the common folk, and they very quickly took over half of the Goldfinch Empire. They have almost reached the Imperial Capital!
On the other hand, the Royal family had a very popular leader— Princess Alyssa.
However, Princess Alyssa hasn’t seized military power yet, her ability is quite weak.
Su Yu’s main storyline is to help Princess Alyssa get the scepter symbolising the Emperor’s power, consolidate domestic forces, defeat the Kalet rebellion, and restore the glory of the Goldfinch Empire!
