“Alright, leave the monster siege to me,” Swift confidently declared.
Su Yu stepped forward and opened up a trade panel with Swift, transferring 100,000 spiritual energy coins to her.
“You’ve been working hard these past few days, this money is your bonus,” Su Yu patted her shoulder in encouragement.
Seeing the amount of spiritual energy coins, Swift was stunned.
The current exchange rate of spiritual energy coins in the Black Market was still around 1:3 Flower Coins.
So 100,000 spiritual energy coins were equal to 300,000 Flower Coins!
Unexpectedly, Su Yu was gifting her a bonus of 300,000! That was generous beyond belief!
“There’s really no need for a bonus,” Swift said shyly, “Sky Dragon has already tripled my salary, which is a very generous offer.”
Su Yu shook his head. “Sky Dragon is Sky Dragon, I am me. If you do well in the future, there will be even more bonuses. Go for it!” 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪
“Thank you, Guild Leader!” Swift was overtaken with excitement.
“Oh, one more thing,” Su Yu said as he moved to Dima’s side, mounting his horse and giving her an order:
“After the monster siege is over, you’re to gather all the farmers and players in our territory and have them go to the [Gold Mine] to dig for gold. Within two hours, I want our gold reserves to reach 1,500 units. Understand?”
The territory hadn’t been intentionally storing up gold before, using just enough for technology upgrades and keeping reserves at 406 units.
But now, they were almost ready to construct a wonder.
Construction of a wonder required 1000 wood, 1000 stone, and 1000 gold.
Also, now that research in the territory had doubled in speed, it also required a large amount of gold. That’s why Su Yu had to stress it.
“I will complete the task!” Swift immediately answered.
“Then I’ll be off first, you guys continue with your tasks!”
Su Yu sat on his horse, waving to Swift and the other guild players, then he and Tina galloped off towards Orleans City.
The team of players that Swift had recruited from the wandering civilians were known as the “Refugee team”, and it was made up of numerous girls.
Seeing Su Yu and Tina riding together on the same horse, a few girls came to Swift and chattered:
“Swift, why are the Guild Leader and Tina sharing a horse?”
“Exactly, how could they be so intimate? It’s just too much!”
Su Yu hadn’t gone far when he heard these girls discussing. He thought to himself:
“Could these girls be admiring me? They’re uncomfortable seeing me share a horse with Tina. Should I consider their feelings?”
With that thought, Su Yu gently nudged the horse’s belly to signal Dima to slow down. He wanted to hear what these girls would talk about next.
But what he heard was unexpected.
“How could he forget about his lawful wife, Dave,” one girl in the Refugee team raised her voice high, obviously intending for Su Yu to hear.
The other girls strongly agreed:
“Exactly, how could he be with Tina behind Dave’s back?”
“Gosh, what a scumbag!”
Su Yu: ” ”
What were they talking about? Did I sit on Dima incorrectly?
A guy in the Refugee team couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “Can you guys stop making these weird pairings? Can’t you have some normal tastes?”
Another guy agreed, “That’s right. Even though Dave’s unmarried, he’s at least forty or fifty with a bristly beard. Aren’t you girls about chasing after good-looking guys when shipping CPs? How can you even bear to ship this?
As soon as the two males finished their words, the girls began to refute:
“What do you know?”
“Exactly, what do you know?”
“We ship this couple because there’s factual basis!”
“Absolutely!”
The boys were skeptical, “Factual basis?”
“Yes!” the girls made their case:
“Haven’t you guys realized it? The Guild Leader is usually indifferent to both players and NPCs and he even keeps a distance with goddess-tier beings like Tina or Swift. But he treats Dave exceptionally well.”
“Yes, the other night when Dave fell ill, the Guild Leader promptly returned by ship and brought back five or six high-ranking priests.”
“Anytime Dave wants something, the Guild Leader personally goes to buy it for him and then mails it back. If this isn’t love, then what is?”
“Isn’t this love?”
Listening to the girls’ heated arguments, the boys in the Refugee team were speechless.
It seemed to be true! The Guild Leader was aloof to everyone, except for Dave whom he treated with an overflowing enthusiasm. Could there be an illicit love affair between them?
But that shipping CP was truly hard for them to swallow!
Meanwhile, Su Yu, who was riding away on Dima, was caught between laughter and tears.
What on earth was all this?
His enthusiasm to Dave was a necessity. Who else would provide the players with [Sunflowers] in the future? How did that get twisted around by the players?
“What’s wrong?” Tina noticed Su Yu’s fluctuating emotions from behind, she turned and asked.
“Nothing,” Su Yu shook his head, he held Tina’s waist tighter, rested his head on her shoulder, “They said that I’ve been cold towards you, keeping my distance. Now there’s no distance between us.”
“Whinny!”
Dima seemed displeased with the physical contact from its two human riders, she whinnied lightly in complaint.
But she was only a pure-hearted little mare, she couldn’t do much besides carrying them quickly toward their destination.
About ten minutes later, Su Yu and Tina arrived at Pearl City.
Pearl City, located at the southeast coast of the Empire, has a population of half a million and ranks as the second largest city, following only Goldfinch City.
Also, it is a crucial hub for maritime transportation worldwide. It has created trade routes with both the Wind Chime Empire and Lai Yin Empire, over half of the Empire’s overseas trade is conducted here.
Because of its densely populated and booming business environment, it became the primary city where players gathered after the third DLC “Pandaren Empire” was released.
Su Yu was very familiar with Pearl City.
Pearl City hadn’t been devastated by war like Goldfinch City had in future DLCs, only one major event called [Pearl Harbour Air Raid] had attacked the city. Therefore, the city’s layout had not changed from his previous life.
Su Yu quickly found Master Craftsman [Mosangrik Iron Tongs] in the Craftsman Area after leading Tina through the winding streets within the city.
Inside a blacksmith shop at 147 Beehive Street in the Craftsman Area.
Looking at the fist-sized, neither-gold-nor-jade badge in Su Yu’s hand, the dwarf Master Craftsman Mosangrik Iron Tongs widened his eyes in astonishment:
“This could it really be the badge of the Guardian God?”
“Of course.” Su Yu replied in a solemn tone, “I am Nemesis, the future student of the Guardian God himself. This badge was personally handed to me by His Excellency.”
“You?”
Mosangrik Iron Tongs looked Su Yu up and down, clearly skeptical.
Su Yu appeared to be over twenty but his actual strength was only at the first stage. How could the Guardian God possibly take interest in such a weakling? The girl next to him seemed like a much more plausible choice.
Although he didn’t doubt the authenticity of the badge, Mosangrik frowned and asked, “What do you want from me?”
