Chapter 684: 681, Guidance (Part 2)_1
ps: Sorry, I came home late today, so I posted this chapter without revisions. If you see this paragraph, please refresh the page in 20 minutes, by then it would have been the revised version.
Zhong Feng’s eyes gradually brightened as he looked at the route map that Su Yu drew.
Indeed, the route requires long-duration and long-distance travel.
The Druid class may not be as good as the Assassin class in stealing, but they are streets ahead when it comes to long-distance travel!
Moreover, among these 12 gamers, he was the only Druid, making him the most suitable one for this task.
“Alright, I will follow this route.” Zhong Feng replied solemnly.
“Very good! You must pay attention to a few important city nodes on this route…”
After several minutes, Su Yu detailed the precautions for this operation to Zhong Feng, who kept nodding to show his understanding.
Once he was done instructing Zhong Feng, it was time to turn to Shepherd in the Clouds.
“Miss. Yun,” he said.
“What’s up, Boss Ke?” she broke into high spirits upon receiving Su Yu’s message.
“As a mage class, going to the wilderness isn’t exactly an ideal choice. Mages lack recovery capabilities and their defense is relatively low among all classes. However, I think there’s a job that suits you better,” Su Yu said, getting straight to the point.
“Oh? What kind of job?” Shepherd in the Clouds immediately inquired.
“It’s a job I’ve always wanted to undertake but never did — infiltrating the upper-class society of Skru. We use the [Mind Control] skill to manipulate the wealthy, making them ‘willingly’ part with their wealth… By now, you should understand what I want you to do, right? Are you willing to do this?”
With a gleam in her eyes, Shepherd in the Clouds gave a resounding response before even thinking it through: “Of course, I’m in!”
Controlling the rich and making them hand over their wealth would definitely yield higher profits than fighting Warcraft in the wilderness!
Plus, Shepherd in the Clouds was the son of Mu Yun Corporation’s chairman, always mingling with high society. Assuming that Skru’s upper-class society wasn’t too different from that of humans, he would definitely manage to blend in using his wealth of experience and his [Mind Control] skill.
“Great. I’ll hand over the [Soul Stealing Wand] and [Fragment of Hifan’s Soul] to you later.”
After he ended his communication with Shepherd in the Clouds, Su Yu removed all barriers that blocked sight and sound, and announced to everyone:
“Alright, let’s talk about the key points to be careful of when going to the wilderness or other continents.
Of course, due to the random teleportation, you all may end up anywhere on Skru Star. You don’t necessarily have to follow the route I’ve shown. What you need most is ‘adaptability’. Understand?”
“Understood,” the 12 gamers responded in unison and nodded.
…
For the next half an hour, Su Yu briefed the 12 players on the precautions they needed to take while travelling to Skru Star.
According to Su Yu’s recommendation, they should preferably practice near the wilderness, barring Frost Red Tea, Zhong Feng, and Shepherd in the Clouds. This would make it less likely for their identities to be exposed while simultaneously ensuring a steady accumulation of experience points.
But ultimately, their final location will depend on their teleportation arrival point.
A bit tired after a long half-hour briefing, Su Yu was pleased to know that next time, he won’t have to do the talking. With Zhong Feng’s experience, he can explain everything to the future players who will travel to Skru Star.
“Let me emphasize two points before we end.” Su Yu’s gaze swept across the 12 players as he spoke.
“If by bad luck you are surrounded by the people of Skru and can’t escape, don’t think about ‘dying heroically’. Just surrender, and I’ll figure out a way to exchange you with the prisoners.”
The situation in this world was different from that of the previous one.
In his previous life, the Blue Star Humans had no Skru captives at this point, so the Skru people would kill any Blue Star Humans they caught, showing no mercy.
In this world, the Blue Star Humans had a large number of Skru captives, even a seventh-rank one and 16 sixth-rank ones.
Given the number of captives, the Skru people wouldn’t kill captured Blue Star Humans so easily, right?
“Understood!” All 12 gamers nodded. They all seemed to breathe easier at that, especially the five overseas gamers.
Their biggest worry was being captured by the Skru people after landing on Skru Star.
Knowing that they could be exchanged if captured was the best news for them.
“As for the second point,” Su Yu said, suddenly releasing his aura.
The overwhelming aura of the seventh-rank Legendary covered all 12 sixth-rank players. They all seemed to be under enormous pressure, finding it hard to breathe.
“No matter what happens, even if you are about to be killed by the Skru people, do not leak any information about Blue Star or any one of your 11 teammates. Or else, I guarantee I’ll track you down to the ends of the earth, and neither you nor your family and friends back on Blue Star will have a good life. Understood?”
“Understood,” replied the five overseas gamers, shaking in their boots. However, the six remaining Chinese players and Fujiwara Chika had no such thoughts and remained calm.
Su Yu understood the principle of “carrot and stick”.
Seeing the fear in the five overseas gamers, Su Yu threw them each two [Master-level Life Recovery Potions]: “These are for you. Remember, even if you don’t contribute anything, don’t betray humanity!”
“Thank you very much!” The five overseas gamers were overjoyed. They were all smiles, unable to put those master-level potions down.
These master-level potions were worth almost 3 million spiritual energy coins in-game!
But the coins were secondary. The main point was there wasn’t any way to get these golden master-level potions in the game, even after completing the related tasks; at least not until several versions later.
On top of that, these potions were precious to them even now!
…
With that, Su Yu’s guidance for the 12 gamers came to a temporary end.
However, before leaving, Su Yu still had two important tasks for Sky Dragon and Zhong Feng.
So, after the guidance was done, he brought the two to a small conference room on the first underground level.
Upon entering the 20-square-meter room, the first thing Su Yu did was cast the highest-grade [Sound Barrier], forming a deep-blue barrier 30 centimeters thick and completely surrounding the small conference room.
Seeing the [Sound Barrier], Sky Dragon and Zhong Feng knew that Su Yu was about to share something important.
Sky Dragon took a chair beside the conference table, placed her hands on the table, and asked seriously: “What’s the matter, Nemesis?”
Zhong Feng also took a seat opposite Su Yu, looking solemn.
“The fact is, I have two extremely critical tasks for you to carry out during your trip to Skru Star. Maintaining the top level of secrecy is of utmost importance for these two tasks, any violation can trigger chaos!” said Su Yu seriously.
Sky Dragon’s heart leaped with joy as she said: “Really? I’d be more than happy to help!”
She was initially a bit upset when she saw that Su Yu didn’t send her a secret message like he did to Frost Red Tea, Zhong Feng, and Shepherd in the Clouds.
Now she realized, Su Yu hadn’t forgotten about her!
