Chapter 264: 264, [Elite]_1
Translator: 549690339
“Root Potion” didn’t seem to be that impressive as compared to the names of other potions like “Eternal Fury”, “Endless Winter”, and “Eternal Night Starlight”.
Yet in terms of actual effects, the “Root Potion” was considered among the most superior in the world of potions!
[Pan-root] was a kind of plant-based magical creature, whose mature strength was at least a fourth-tier, with exceptional ones able to reach even the sixth-tier!
There were often so many Pan-roots that they could cover half a mountain range. Their elaborate root systems ran through dozens of mountains, making it extremely difficult to destroy them.
If animals or humans inadvertently entered the territory of the Pan-root, the Pan-root would first feign ignorance to lure the enemy deeper, then would attack en masse.
Unless it was a fifth-tier or above being who could fly or a fourth-tier mage who specializes in flame, it would be very difficult to escape from the Pan-root’s dense vines. It would be eventually refined into a nutrient for the Pan-root.
The “Root Potion” was a potion made from the most refined branches of a sixth-tier Pan-root.
To concoct such a bottle of potion, several mountain tops of Pan-roots had to be destroyed to find the deepest hidden Pan-root. And a sixth-tier Pan-root could often only concoct 10 bottles of potion, it was indeed extremely precious!
Even in the largest auction houses in Pearl City, such a treasure rarely made an appearance. It was mostly stored in the royal family’s private collection.
Such a precious item would not have come out as a mission reward if it was not for Alyssa’s special feelings for Su Yu.
After drinking the Root Potion, Su Yu felt a surge of heat in his stomach as if a fire was burning.
This “fire” carried an endless amount of energy, rapidly surging into his brain, trunk, limbs, and every other part of his body. All his organs felt as if they were on the edge of bursting!
On the game interface, Su Yu’s health points, mana points, and attributes like strength, intelligence, physique, and agility all started to increase exponentially.
The surrounding Magic Cloud Birds’ magical power was also quickly absorbed into his body, aiding in his attribute value increase.
The largest increases were in his health points and mana points.
The panel numbers shot up as if propelled by a rocket.
His original health points were “49236” and his mana points were “53680”. These numbers quickly exceeded 100,000 and continued to climb without showing any signs of slowing down.
After half an hour of absorption, his health points finally stalled at “401,000” and his mana points at a staggering “429,000” – an overall increase of seven times!
Strength, intelligence, physique, and agility did not witness a drastic increase but on average they did rise by about 2.7 times. The most crucial attribute, intelligence, rose from 350 points to 945 points!
Looking at these exploding attributes, Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Under normal circumstances, 5 Root Potions could increase life points and mana points by four times at most.
But due to his foundations laid in the advanced secret territory and the purified magical power refined from the Magic Cloud Bird’s beak, his life points and mana points increased sevenfold!
With his current attributes, even without any equipment, an ordinary fourth-tier magician would pose no threat to him.
Moreover, under the name on his attribute panel, there are also two blue letters “[Elite]”.
This proved that he had become an elite player! (Oops)
After improving his template, Su Yu took some time to rest and relax in the Mage Tower.
When the main mission started, he returned to Orleans City to continue his tasks.
In the Grand Hall of the Princess House, Su Yu saw Alyssa again.
Alyssa seemed extremely happy now, her face was full of smiles.
She looked at Su Yu standing below the throne and smilingly said, “Nemesis, after discussing with my ministers, I have decided to assign an important mission to you. I hope you can successfully complete it.”
“What mission?” Su Yu was somewhat puzzled by Alyssa’s smiling face. The current situation was so critical, why was she in such a happy mood?
Alyssa gracefully descended from her throne and personally handed Su Yu a beautifully packaged green parchment. “Nemesis, I am planning to send you to the Elf Kingdom to personally deliver this letter to the Elf Regent King.”
“If Michelle Drank really betrayed us, she probably wouldn’t convey my promise back to the Elf Kingdom. Now if you make the trip, there will be nothing to worry about.”
“Ding, your main plot has been updated,[Goldfinch Empire (56-60/100)].”
“Task requirements: Go to the Elf Kingdom, deliver Princess Alyssa’s letter to the Elf Kingdom’s Regent King, and bring back the Regent King’s reply safely.”
“Task rewards: Random rewards based on the task completion.”
“Understood, your highness. I will deliver the letter as soon as possible,” Su Yu put the letter in his backpack.
But he found it strange: “Why are you so happy today?”
“Because I counted the debts with the finance minister today!” The princess winked at Su Yu: “The royal family owes tens of billions of spiritual energy coins to Pearl City because of the war, which doesn’t even include the huge bad debts left by my father.”
“If Michelle does betray us, we won’t have to pay this large sum of money back!”
Su Yu:
So that was the reason.
However, he also took this opportunity to ask, “Your Highness, can I bring a few companions with me on this trip to the Elf Kingdom?”
Alyssa looked at Su Yu, suddenly her eyes shot sparks of danger. “What? You don’t think this journey is too long and boring and want to bring a few female companions for amusement, do you?”
“Of course not!” Su Yu quickly denied: “It’s just that among us adventurers, none have been to the Elf Kingdom before, so some would like to come along to broaden their horizons.”
After sizing Su Yu up again, Alyssa slowly said: “Well, as long as all those who go with you are of the same sex, I don’t oppose it. But don’t bring too many people, it’s more dangerous with a bigger crowd. You can take up to 4 people.”
“Rest assured, I will complete the mission successfully,” promised Su Yu.
After accepting the mission, Su Yu exited the Princess House.
He then sent a message in the team chat room: “Selling 5 spots to the Elf Kingdom, a spot costs 100,000 spiritual energy coins. Only males allowed. Those who go can develop mission resources according to their own abilities until the beginning of the next expansion pack.”
Before Su Yu’s statement, most of the team leaders in the chat room were usually quiet. Either they were really busy or they preferred to remain silent to maintain their aloof image.
But seeing Su Yu’s statement, these leaders quickly responded.
Snow Leopard: “I’ll take all 5 spots!”
Red-Eyed Black Dragon: “[Crying face]Snow Leopard, give us a chance! We also want a spot.”
Shepherd in the Clouds: “We also want a spot. [Praying maiden face]”
Laser Pen: “Boss Ke, why do you only want males? Do you want some fencing companions? I’m good with either being a ‘0’ or a ‘1’!”
Su Yu:

Red-Eyed Black Dragon:
