Chapter 484: 483, Marigold, Radioactive Bomb _1
After returning to his residence, Su Yu put on his helmet and reentered the game.
He reappeared on the third floor of the Territory Mage Tower.
Just as Su Yu was about to continue refining materials to level up, a crisp female voice came from outside the Mage Tower.
“Lord! Dave’s [Marigold] cultivation project was a success! He sent me to let you know!”
The voice belonged to the little lolita, Kathy.
Kathy was a fourth-grade mage, just like Alyssa. Her high strength limited her growth rate. She hadn’t changed at all since the first time she met Su Yu, she was still a little lolita.
Upon hearing Kathy’s voice, Su Yu teleported outside the Magic Tower and stood before Kathy: “Oh, really? Let’s go have a look!”
…
A dozen seconds later, Su Yu and Kathy arrived at Dave’s plantation.
The plantation was still as chaotic as ever, with various plants scattered everywhere – peas, mushrooms, nuts, cabbages…
At that moment, Dave and his main research team were loudly discussing something while surrounding a particular plot of land.
In the center of the plot, a small white and yellow flower swayed gently in the breeze. Occasionally, a small silver piece would pop out of its petals, which was collected by the designated players.
Someone shouted, “Boss Ke is here!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately stopped their discussions and looked towards Su Yu.
Dave’s eyes lit up, and he rushed towards him enthusiastically: “My Lord! I fulfilled your trust! The Marigold cultivation was finally successful!”
Dave spoke loudly, filled with pride. His joy was so great that it could hardly be contained.
“Well done, Dave!” Su Yu praised him , “What are the attributes of the [Marigold]?”
“Ah…My Lord, you should see for yourself! I guarantee you’ll be pleased!” Without another word, Dave pulled Su Yu to the side of the [Marigold].
Su Yu activated the [Insight] spell, and the marigold’s properties were immediately displayed before him.
[Marigold]
Plant
Every 2 hours, the Marigold will produce 1 [Marigold Silver Coin]. Ten [Marigold Silver Coins] stacked together will become one [Marigold Gold Coin].
[Marigold Gold Coin]: After use on a plant seed, the seed will turn golden.
Remark: When special treatment is applied, known as “hastening”, the Marigold will produce [Marigold Silver Coin] every 5 seconds. Upon producing its tenth [Marigold Silver Coin], this Marigold will permanently lose its ability to produce silver coins.
…
Upon seeing the Marigold’s properties, Su Yu’s eyes lit up.
The gold coins produced by the Marigold could coat plant seeds in gold! After being gilded, the seeds could then be brought into reality. As Su Yu had said before, anything that could be brought into reality was valuable!
The Marigold in front of Su Yu at the moment was producing silver coins every 5 seconds. Clearly, Dave had already ‘hastened’ it, and now they could test the gilding effect of the Marigold!
Su Yu immediately turned to the player collecting the silver coins: “How many coins have we collected now?”
“Ah? A total of…7 coins,” the player stuttered, his mind blank as he stammered at the sight of Boss Ke.
“Seven, good! Then we’ll just wait.” Su Yu stood where he was, waiting with the other players for the collection of silver coins to reach ten.
Half a minute later, the 10th silver coin fell from the Marigold’s flower, dropping into a prepared iron cup below.
A burst of low cheers broke out at the scene. But out of respect for Su Yu’s presence, the players held themselves back, not daring to cheer loudly.
Su Yu grabbed the iron cup, staring intently at what was happening inside.
The ten silver coins slowly melted, their volume dwindling. Finally, when the combined size of the silver coins had shrunk to the size of an egg, a bright golden light suddenly burst forth!
The coins were then covered in gold. After another round of fusion and shrinkage, a hefty gold coin was formed – a [Marigold Gold Coin].
“Does Dave have any seeds?” asked Su Yu eagerly. “Give me a [Twin Sunflower] seed! The newest, highest-yielding variety of Twin Sunflower seed!”
“Understood!” Dave made a gesture to an assassin player named [Reporter Wallace] in the crowd. This player immediately activated his turbo skill and dashed towards the seed laboratory.
One minute later, the assassin player handed the Twin Sunflower seed to Su Yu.
Without any hesitation, Su Yu immediately used the gold coin on the seed.
A more intense golden light erupted in Su Yu’s palm, blinding everyone around him.
With his saint level strength, Su Yu wasn’t troubled by the intensity of the light and watched the changes in the seeds with curiosity.
The Twin Sunflower seed turned golden from the inside out, first the core, then the skin.
About ten seconds later, the seed had completely turned golden. Using the [Insight] spell to check it, Su Yu could confirm that the seed could be brought into reality.
[Twin Sunflower Seed (Golden)]
Seed
How to use: Requires [Farmland]. Plant the [Seed] in the [Farmland].
Effect: After the Twin Sunflower matures, it will produce 3 units of [Sunshine] every two sunny days.
Remark: Even outstanding seeds can be widely spread if they are suppressed.
…
Su Yu pocketed the seed and addressed everyone present. “I’m going to log off and test whether or not this seed works. Dave, can you still hasten Marigolds?”
“Yes.” Dave nodded. “We still have five plant backups.”
“Great! Then you hasten one of the Marigolds now, but don’t use the [Marigold Gold Coin] that comes out. Wait for me to come back!”
Without waiting for Dave’s response, Su Yu logged out of the game.
…
Half a minute later, a silver portal opened above the Yunlu Mountain Spring Eye. Su Yu reappeared at the Yunlu Mountain Base.
“Ah, Su Yu, my young friend, you’re back again? What’s up?” Elder Tao greeted Su Yu as he approached.
Just moments after Su Yu had left, Elder Tao had eliminated a surrender-sect terrorist who had snuck onto the mountain carrying a nuclear bomb (commonly known as a “dirty bomb”).
This incident had greatly concerned the great elders on the mountain.
The surrender-sect, which had been quiet for a long time, had suddenly resurfaced – right at a critical juncture when the strength of the new generation players was starting to materialize.
The terrorist’s hiking behavior seemed foolish, but it felt more like a warning.
After all, a nuclear bomb had stealthily made it past customs and only been discovered under their noses. Did it mean the surrender-sect had even infiltrated the orthodox’ ranks?
Elder Tao hesitated, unsure whether to inform Su Yu about the matter.
