Chapter 423: 422, Cao Chengxiang_1 Who was advised to surrender

The guild leaders had significant influence.

Thanks to their wide dissemination, the detail of Su Yu’s mission spread across the network with the speed of thunder, as fast as that of stealing a bell with one’s ears covered.

By nightfall, almost all the players had learned about the major event.

The players were, on one hand, astonished at the tremendous changes “turning back the speed of time” would bring to humanity, on the other hand, they were eager to contribute to Su Yu’s mission.

Of course, there were also some voices on the internet deliberately singing the opposite tune with an air of contempt, similar to the “anti-country party” often found on Weibo and Tieba, who loved to make indirect ridiculing comments, flaunting their sense of superiority.

During peace, no one would mind those people, but now “heavy code must be applied in times of chaos”.

The instant these voices emerged, the relevant departments had already traced their IP addresses and personally went to their doorsteps inviting them to “have tea”.

The relevant departments were maintaining a strict control over internet public opinion, as voices of the “surrender faction” had emerged, scaring the “relevant departments” into taking extra precautions.

Su Yu did not participate in the great online discussion.

When he was still speaking in the chat room, Bernina had already brought them to the doorstep of the chief’s house in Nolan Village.

“Whew~” After landing, Bernina stretched lazily, giving Su Yu and the others a weary look: “Alright, that’s all for today, come find me if there’s anything else!”

Without waiting for them to respond, Bernina dashed into the house and closed the door with a “bang”. They were caught off guard by her speed.

Su Yu and the others looked at each other.

But they didn’t stand there in a daze for too long.

Alyssa walked over to Tina, hugged her arm, blinked her eyes and looked at Su Yu:

“Nemesis, earlier Tina and I reached an agreement. She will return to the Empire to assist me with the state affairs, and I will restore her to her former position. What are your plans?”

“As for me…” Su Yu thought for a moment and replied, “Why don’t I go to the Imperial Capital as well to assist you with state affairs? [Sylvanus] won’t be here until the day after tomorrow, these two days I can accompany you… guys.”

“Great!” Alyssa released Tina’s arm, ran over to Su Yu, and hugged his arm.

Su Yu’s words were exactly what she had in mind.

At the same time, a mission prompt sounded in Su Yu’s ear:

“Ding! Rare mission triggered: [Handle State Affairs], do you accept?”

“Accept.”

“Ding, mission accepted.”

“[Handle State Affairs]”

“Mission requirements: Assist [Queen Alyssa] in handling state affairs for at least 3 hours. After the mission ends, [Queen Alyssa] will grade your performance, with a top score of 100.”

“Mission Reward: (maximum reward) Skill Scrolls, [Affinity with Thunder Magic] X1, [Mastery of Thunder Magic] X1, [Resistance to Thunder Magic] X1, a Kiss of Alyssa X1.”

Seeing the details of the mission reward…

“A ‘Kiss from Alyssa’?” Su Yu couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.

Tina had only just returned and Alyssa was already sneaking her “private goods” into the mission rewards again.

Tina didn’t know what Su Yu was thinking, but when she saw Alyssa hugging Su Yu’s right arm, for some unknown reason, she went over to Su Yu and hugged his left arm.

Seeing this scene, Morning Star perked up right away!

She leaped from Alyssa’s shoulder onto Su Yu’s shoulder and began rubbing against his neck.

Su Yu immediately felt like the Chinese character ‘嫐’.

With the blue and white little cat, Morning Star on his shoulder, Su Yu suddenly felt like he was an unfaithful man!

In the village chief’s house, Bernina, who was lying on a swing and eating beef jerky, let out a light sigh: “Ah, to be young!”

….

….

In the following period, Su Yu, Alyssa and Tina went to the Goldfinch Palace to deal with the state affairs, spending a rare and leisurely three hours.

But in those three hours, two major events happened one after another on the distant Skru Star.

At 12 noon that day, on an ice plain at the South Pole of Skru Star,

Prime Minister Cao Cao, holding the godly artifact, [The Hilt of the Sword of Thousand Precepts], stood as straight as a nail embedded in the ice.

The [The Hilt of the Sword of Thousand Precepts], was radiating a dazzling blue light. Although it had been in battle for three days and three nights under Prime Minister Cao Cao, the brilliance of the hilt showed no signs of fading.

However, Prime Minister Cao Cao’s condition seemed quite poor at the moment. The light covering his body trembled irregularly, and his face looked exceptionally pale as if he was on the verge of collapse.

A thousand meters in front of him, eleven god-level warriors floated in mid-air forming a line, staring intently at him.

Among the eleven god-level warriors, five were from the Skru race, four from the Beast Race, and the remaining two were from the Deep-sea Dragon Race.

Despite being 11 against 1, none of them dared to take action hastily.

Because Prime Minister Cao Cao had said: “If you dare to do it, I will control the divine instrument to self-destruct and transfer all the heat generated by the explosion to the ice cap below. When the ice cap melts and the sea level rises, your people will have to accompany me in death!”

This remark was greatly intimidating for the powerful beings of Skru Star, and they all believed that Prime Minister Cao Cao would do it.

If Prime Minister Cao Cao really did self-destruct and melt the polar ice, many prosperous coastal cities would be swallowed by tsunamis. They couldn’t afford such losses.

So they didn’t approach but were continuously discussing their strategy.

It is also worth mentioning that just the day before yesterday, an transcendental powerhouse from the Holy Silver Federation (those at planet level and above can reshape their bodies and never die; they are called transcendental powerhouses) announced to the world through a broadcast that he had taken the [Blade of the Sword of Thousand Precepts].

So the strategy against Prime Minister Cao Cao changed significantly.

Prior to this, the god-level warriors of Skru Star had only one thought: recover the hilt, find the blade, and rule the world.

Now that the blade was gone, the Skru race harbored other intentions.

After exchanging their ideas with each other, Donald Prunt, a god-level warrior from the Raging Sun Empire, acted as a representative and slowly descended towards Prime Minister Cao Cao.

“Human.” Prunt activated all attack modules on his Mech suit, and said from a height:

“After our discussion, we unanimously decided that if you can surrender and join us, not only will we spare your life, but we will also give you the respect you deserve. Moreover, we will reserve a habitat for your race.”

“Surrender?” The blue light on Prime Minister Cao Cao fluctuated irregularly again.

Prime Minister Cao Cao knew well that “surrender” was just a delaying strategy for the Skru people.

If he really agreed, the Skru people would neither spare him nor refrain from turning him into a tool against the humans of Blue Star!

But Prime Minister Cao Cao didn’t refuse immediately, he wanted to hear what kind of terms the Skru people would offer.

So he calmly said, “Well, the question is, if I surrender, which habitat will you reserve for our human race?”

“Australia on Blue Star.” Prunt responded without hesitation and enunciated clearly, “All other areas on Blue Star will be ours, and the whole region of Australia will be given to you humans as a reservation. What do you think?”
