Translator: 549690339
“Holy shit!” Su Yu swore, a rare occurrence, “How did you get that?”
“Hehe, well that takes us back to the final trial that Chen’s Stormstout gave me ” A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated typed out a lengthy text in the chat box.
As it turned out, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated had just completed a final trial named [Rescue of the God’s Child], in which he rescued a huge turtle named [God’s Child] floating in the sea.
Because he nearly aced the entire trial, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was awarded an “SS” grade.
“Ding, the [Rescue of the God’s Child] scenario campaign is completed, the reward grade is being generated ”
“Your reward grade for this round is ‘SS’, you are awarded: Experience Points x2000.”
“You can choose one of the following two rewards as your final prize.”
“As your guild owns territory, you have an additional choice.”
The three options were:
1, [Internal Skill Method: The Flower Picking Manual (Epic)]
Note: To successfully cultivate this Divine Skill, one must castrate oneself. If not castrated, practicing the skill will cause heat to rise within your body, leading to combusting Side effects: Male NPC’s favorability towards you -20, Female NPC’s favorability towards you -30.
2, [Internal Skill Method: Heavenly Dominating Skill (Epic)]
Note: Although Heavenly Dominating Skill is extremely powerful, it has a significant inconvenience: one must rejuvenate to youth once each month. After rejuvenation, all progress in cultivating the skill resets. Moreover, one must consume fresh blood at noon each day in order to train.
3, [Yulon Idol]
Effect: Offering tributes to the idol boosts your territories with the [Wind Calls Rain Orderly] buff
Besides basic skills, a martial artist can learn [Internal Skill Method], [Guardian Skills], [Swift Skills]. This task offers two choices of [Internal Skill Method] as a reward.
However, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated wasn’t satisfied with either of those two options.
Firstly, [The Flower Picking Manual].
If he chose this, he would become a eunuch for the rest of his gaming career? It feels distressing just thinking about it;
Secondly, the [Heavenly Dominating Skill]. Despite the impressive name, it required monthly recoiling and consumption of fresh blood each day at noon Just the thought of drinking fresh blood every day makes A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated feel nauseated.
The third option was the [Yulon Idol].
Dissatisfied with both skill methods, and bearing in mind Nemesis urgently needs the [Yulon Idol], A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated promptly chose the third one.
After all, with his capabilities, he would inevitably get high-quality internal skill methods sooner or later. There’s no rush.
Su Yu: “A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated, do you have a [mail box] on your ship?”
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: “Hang on. Let me see Yes, I do.”
Su Yu: “Hurry up and send me the [Yulon Idol] via mail! Charge me for the postage.”
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: “Okay, I’ll send it to you now.”
A little while later, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated replied, “The mail has been sent.”
Su Yu: “Thank you so much! Let’s consider all our previous debts settled! If I need any more materials in the future, I’ll buy them from you at a generous price!”
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: “Don’t mention it. If you need anything else in the future, just ask. I’ll see what I can do to help get it I have another task to tackle, let’s chat more later!”
Su Yu: “Mm, goodbye.”
After closing the private chat interface, Su Yu received a game prompt on his end: “You’ve received a high-value mail. Please check it.”
In the game, players could send items or equipment to other players through the [mail box], with any mail being delivered almost instantly. The mail was valid for 7 days, and any unclaimed mail would disappear after those 7 days.
And the further the distance, the higher the postage fee.
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated was almost at the Pandamen Empire, so the postage for this event could be as much as a thousand spiritual energy coins!
But this amount meant nothing to Su Yu.
Once Tina’s main storyline reached a pause, he could return to his estate and place the [Yulon Idol]!
Su Yu looked up at Tina, not knowing when she’d wake up.
As he looked at Tina, he suddenly noted there was something off about her.
She was still sound asleep.
However, her small face had become extremely red and her breathing was increasingly erratic, sometimes slow, sometimes fast.
Also, beneath her closed eyelids, her eyes were moving frantically, as if she were having a nightmare or something.
“Tina? Tina?”
Su Yu tried to wake her up, but Tina didn’t respond at all.
Su Yu hurried over and felt her forehead.
It was boiling hot and burning his hand.
He then placed his hand over her heart to check her pulse.
Tina’s heart rate was significantly abnormal, sometimes beating so fast it was like it was going to jump out of her throat, and other times it was slow like Flash Slothmore from “Zootopia”.
Su Yu stood up, ready to head to the Temple of Light and find a high-ranking priest to heal Tina.
Just as he was doing this, he received a game notification:
“Ding, [Saint of Orleans City (11/100)] has been updated.”
“Task requirement: Tina appears to be in some sort of ‘nightmare’ state, please inform the Unicorn Knights Commander, Grace, of her situation promptly.”
Informing Grace could work too.
Having received the game prompt, Su Yu strode out of the rest room.
Outside the room, the goblin Vina Blackgold had been waiting for quite some time.
As soon as he saw Su Yu come out, he sighed in relief and quickly said with a servile smile, “Boss Nemesis, you’re out at last! We’ve made over fifteen million spiritual energy coins profit this time! ”
“Nevermind that for now, keep your eye on the rest room’s door. Don’t let anyone in until I come back!”
“Uh Okay.”
10 minutes later, Su Yu returned to the rest room with Commander Grace.
By then, Tina’s ‘nightmare state’ had worsened significantly.
Tina’s condition showed no sign of improvement even though her eyes remained shut. Moreover, her golden aura was swirling and surging, the sofa beneath her shredded by the tempestuous energy, leaving only fragments strewn around her on the floor.
Grace’s face hardened as she quickly knelt beside Tina to examine her.
After a while, she lifted her head and looked at Su Yu, “Nemesis, I think I know the reason.”
“What’s wrong with Tina?”
“Tina is in this state because she has a strong fixation in her heart.” Grace’s face had a grave expression.
“A fixation?”
“Yes, Tina has had this fixation for a long time. It wasn’t strong, it helped with her development to some extent, so I didn’t pay it much attention.”
Su Yu nodded, he also knew about the ‘fixation in Tina’s heart’.
During the quest [Centaur’s Lingering Feelings], the last part of the quest would lead to Dima’s death and Tina’s transformation to darkness. Su Yu was supposed to enter Tina’s subconscious mind and defeat a boss called [Tina’s Perseverance] to complete the quest.
However, changing the course of the storyline by spending a fortune to hire a priest to heal Dima, Tina didn’t transform to darkness, and [Tina’s Perseverance], the boss, was stalled.
Unexpectedly, at this point, the boss [Tina’s Perseverance] reappeared causing trouble.
