“What? You want to quit?” Su Yu crossed his arms, his eyes sharply scrutinizing the five foreign server players.
If it had been earlier, Su Yu wouldn’t have known how to deal with them.
But after his conversation with Sky Dragon’s parents, he now knew how to cajole… ahem, persuade them to stay.
Seeing that Su Yu’s tone seemed to soften, the five of them lit up with hope!
They hurriedly pleaded, “Yes, Boss Ke, I’m too weak to help out over there. I might just end up being a free meal for the Skru army.”
“Me too. I was forcibly promoted to Tier 6, but my equipment is only Tier 3. I’ve barely mastered any skills above Tier 4. I probably can’t even defeat a Tier 5 over there!”
“I’m in the same boat.”
“Can we please not go?”
…
Listening to their complaints, Su Yu kept his composure.
When they were done talking, Su Yu smiled slightly, “So you really don’t want to go to Sitr Star?”
“Yes!”
“Not at all!”
“Only a fool would… wait, you guys must feel the same way too, right? You just don’t want to admit it.”
The last line was directed at the five players from the Huaxia Nation by the European server player.
However, the five Huaxia players didn’t bother to give them a glance, turned their heads, and completely ignored them.
Su Yu smiled warmly, “Alright then, if you don’t want to go, we won’t force you. In half an hour, the relevant department will send supersonic fighters to send you back to your countries.”
“That’s great!”
“Thank you, Boss Ke!”
The five of them were overjoyed.
As expected, Su Yu was more reasonable than those unreasonable military officers of the United Government.
“Zhong Feng, remember their names,” Su Yu ordered the man next to him. “The United Government is not allowed to invest a single cent in them in the future. The resources saved will be rewarded to the outstanding performers on Skru Star.”
“Understood,” Zhong Feng replied solemnly.
Snort!
Zhen Hong and the others almost burst into laughter.
They had thought that Boss Ke had let these foreigners off the hook out of kindness, but it turned out he was just waiting for the right moment!
Su Yu’s words were like a bolt from the blue for the five foreign server players.
“How… how can this be?” Their smiles froze on their faces.
Being unable to receive any resources meant they would definitely be stuck at Tier 6 before the great war started.
Whilst Tier 6 was a strong level among humanity and ranked in the top couple of thousand, they knew very clearly that on the battlefield of the final showdown, a regular Tier 6 could only be considered “cannon fodder”.
Their life and death would no longer be in their hands, but rather reliant on luck.
This was like a hundred soldiers carrying grenades rushing towards a machine-gun bunker. No one knew if they would die, either by machine gun fire or by managing to blow up the bunker to survive.
This was something they absolutely couldn’t accept!
“Boss Ke, we are the strongest players in our continent, and have the greatest potential. How can we have our resources cut off?” A foreign server player made a last desperate attempt.
“Why can’t it be cut off?” Su Yu turned serious, speaking sternly,” Your strength is built by millions of players collecting materials for you. Now that they need you, you choose to back down?”
“But…”
“No buts!” Su Yu said firmly, “Do as I command. Either go to Skru Star, or go back and have all your resource supply cut off. It’s your choice!”
After speaking, Su Yu didn’t spare them another glance and turned towards the team of Huaxia Nation players.
The five foreign server players were conflicted, unsure of what to do.
…
“Boss Ke, well done!” Zhen Hong cheerfully gave a thumbs-up as Su Yu approached.
The other four didn’t say anything, but their eyes were full of admiration.
“It’s nothing.” Su Yu smiled, “Never mind them. You should be careful on Skru Star. Don’t die there.”
“Don’t worry, Boss Ke,” Shepherd in the Clouds assured him earnestly. “In the past few days, we have formed a special team and studied the video you recorded on Skru Star very seriously. All preparations, equipment, and items have been carefully prepared, and we will do our best to avoid problems.”
Su Yu patted his shoulder, “Well then, that’s good.”
Zhen Hong confidently slapped his chest, “We are very confident about going to Skru Star. As long as we’re not directly teleported into a Skru city…”
“Shut up, don’t jinx it!” Zhong Feng interrupted him before he could finish.
Zhen Hong had often been proven wrong when he ‘played the crow’. It was absolutely necessary to cut him off now so he wouldn’t continue speaking his ill omens.
“Fine, alright.” Zhen Hong sulkily closed his mouth.
Su Yu had once said that during the teleportation process, there was a possibility of being teleported into a Skru city.
However, since the Skru cities occupy a small area of the planet’s surface, this probability was quite low.
But if they were actually teleported into a city, it would be extremely dangerous for players around Tier 6!
The Skru would relentlessly chase them down, and their chances of death would be excessively high.
As long as they don’t hit the “jackpot” and get teleported into a city, their chances of survival would be much higher.
…
Looking at the “Brave Five of Huaxia” in front of him, Su Yu felt very gratified.
In the new generation of players, it wasn’t just him fighting alone. Most players were also working hard silently.
Su Yu took a dozen Master-level health recovery potions out of his bag and displayed them in front of the five brave men, “Since you’re going to Skru Star, take these potions as your lifeline! A master-level potion can restore more than half of the health of a frail figure like Old Yun! Each person gets three bottles. Use them wisely.”
These Master-level potions were upgraded from the low-level golden potions obtained by Su Yu’s clone during his missions.
Su Yu originally meant to give them to players going to Skru Star as life-saving measures, so he only upgraded them to “Master-level”, not “Grandmaster-level”.
“Thank you, Boss Ke!”
Without any hesitation, Zhen Hong and the others took them. They, of course, needed these life-saving potions. Their faces were filled with gratitude.
Su Yu didn’t forget about Fujiwara Chika, who was standing nearby.
He took out three bottles from his necklace and tossed them to her, “Prime Minister Fujiwara, take care of yourself over there!”
“Thank you, Su Yu!” Fujiwara Chika was slightly surprised, but still caught the potions that Su Yu threw her.
Master-level potions like these were not available in the game!
Truth be told, most of Fujiwara Chika’s gear was plain Tier 5 and 6, mixed with a few Tier 3 and 4 purple and orange gear. All her gear combined wasn’t as valuable as these potions!
Most importantly — Su Yu still remembered her, which warmed her heart.
