Looking at the disappearing white light of Su Yu, the four people in the conference room exchanged glances.
Prime Minister Cao Cao stroked his beard and asked, “Is this the instant teleportation spell from ‘Evolution’?”
The Prime Minister also plays ‘Evolution’, but he hasn’t put much effort into leveling up, he is only a level 12 mage.
“Yes, Prime Minister.” Zhong Feng replied, “The item is known as [Hearthstone] in the game, which Nemesis has used before. [Hearthstone] sets a location, and when activated, it teleports the player to that location. It’s said to be the reward for the main storyline.”
“Main storyline? He’s a lucky lad,” the Prime Minister’s tone conveyed a hint of envy.
Commissioner Zhang’s face became somber as he said, “I have a feeling that there’s more to Su Yu than meets the eye.”
“Based on the information we have, he actively went to the East Sea University, killed ghosts in the mountain roads near Yunlu Mountain and moreover, he even predicted the North Yameligazhou unrest.”
“Considering all of these, I suspect that he has the ability to ‘foresee the future’.”
“Foresee the future?” Xue Wenli looked surprised.
Zhong Feng, however, nodded thoughtfully, “I agree with the Commissioner’s opinion. From Su Yu’s series of behaviors, it is apparent that he seems to have an unusual level of control over the future. Besides, without his hint, we could not have known that in-game powers could manifest in the real world.”
“We will analyze this further in the future.” Commissioner Zhang clapped his hands together, changing the subject: “What is urgent right now is to cooperate with Su Yu and secure the Spiritual Spring Eye first. We shall begin our mission immediately!”
“Understood!” Xue Wenli and Zhong Feng immediately responded.
Prime Minister Cao Cao also waved his hand, and quickly vanished from the conference room.
An hour and a half later, in the woodland at the foot of Lingwu Mountain.
A figure of a man dressed casually appeared in the woods, holding a branch in his hand, slowly making his way towards the top of the mountain.
This figure was indeed Su Yu.
Now he was less than three kilometers away from the Giant Skru Base on the top of the mountain.
Due to the alien base, the area within ten kilometers of Lingwu Mountain had been sealed off by the relevant departments.
However, that was not an obstacle for Su Yu. With the help of the [Invisibility Skill], he easily infiltrated the area.
“Three kilometers, just a little more to go,” Su Yu nodded to himself secretly.
He stopped and flipped his hand with a [Level 6 Trial Experience Scroll] appearing in his hand, and began to channel his magic power into it.
Ever since the scroll had been gilded, Su Yu upgraded the scroll to epic quality.
Thus, during the process of channeling magic power, three [Assigned Professions] magically emerged in his mind.
After a bit of consideration, Su Yu picked [Mage] as the first profession and [Assassin] as the second, as these two were the most useful for the current mission.
It didn’t much matter what the third profession was, Su Yu pondered a bit and eventually chose [Priest].
Five minutes quickly passed by.
Su Yu’s figure flickered and he transformed into a mage dressed in a blue silk robe, holding a staff embedded with a magic crystal the size of an egg.
The equipment was granted by the scroll, and the quality was quite good, at least at the [Rare] level. However, because it was the real world, he couldn’t see the specific attributes of the equipment and weapons.
Su Yu put all distractions out of his mind, activated the [Invisibility Skill] and stealthily made his way towards the top of the mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, the layout of the Giant Skru Base was clearly etched in Su Yu’s view.
The most noticeable feature was a black crack in the sky. The crack was nearly a kilometer wide, and inside it was an endless void.
This crack was actually a “space gate”.
Once Skru ships entered the crack, they would be instantly teleported back to Skru Star. Similarly, upon entering the corresponding crack on Skru Star, they could instantaneously reach Blue Star.
However, this space crack was not a product of Skru technology.
This “space gate technology” held a very high position on the technology tree.
If the Skru had the power to master this technology, humans of Blue Star might as well give up; resistance would be completely meaningless.
The space gate technology was provided by a branch of the Singer Civilization—the Star Cluster civilization, the Holy Silver Federation.
By the way, ‘Evolution’ is also one of the experimental products of the Holy Silver Federation.
They provided the conditions for weaker civilizations to attack each other. When the clam fights with the snipe, they are the biggest winners behind the scenes.
Right below the space crack, naturally, was the Spiritual Spring Eye.
However, now, the Skru people had constructed a large building around the Spiritual Spring Eye, nearly 50 meters high, to collect the spiritual energy drawn from within.
On both sides of this large structure, there were two smaller buildings.
The building on the eastern side was called the “Psychic energy storage station”, which was filled with many large “psychic energy storage tanks”.
Seventy percent of the energy from the spring flowed into these tanks through pipes. Once the energy accumulated in these tanks reached a certain amount, the Skru people would transport them back to Skru Star using their space ships.
The remaining Thirty percent would be piped to the “Monster Manufacturing Factory” located to the east of the buildings.
Here, the Skru people created a large number of ghosts and Godzilla-like creatures, strategically deploying them to attack Blue Star humans, causing panic in the human world and weakening their power.
These were the three central buildings.
On the outer perimeter of these three buildings were twelve brown-grey spacecrafts, each nearly 90 meters long and about 30 meters wide, forming a circle enclosing and protecting the three buildings.
Further outside the spacecraft was a massive, grey, uneven energy shield stretching skywards, enveloping the entirety of the base.
This was the full view of the Giant Skru Base.
Su Yu was very familiar with the Giant Skru Base as he had conducted many infiltration missions here in his previous life.
With the help of the [Mimicry Skill] and fluent Skru language, in his previous life, he had even won the hearts of many Skru girls
Cough cough, back to the topic.
Su Yu didn’t waste any time and unleashed the [Invisibility Skill]. Boosted by the [Invisibility Skill], he quickly approached the grey energy shield.
Upon reaching the shield, he pressed his hand against it and activated the skill [Energy Assimilation].
Through [Energy Assimilation], Su Yu adjusted the magical frequency oscillations of his body to match the energy shield.
Once the adjustment was complete, he swiftly entered the shield without causing a single ripple.
Su Yu quickly arrived at the space ship area, found a concealed corner in the zone, and used the scroll to switch to the assassin class.
Although the [Invisibility Skill] of a mage had excellent effects, it consumed a lot of mana and couldn’t last for a long time.
On the other hand, the effectiveness of the [Stealth Skill] of the assassin was similar but consumed hardly anything. Moreover, in [Stealth] mode, he could use the [Speed Burst] skill to increase his movement speed.
The assassin was the best profession for infiltration and exploration, and this was also the reason why Su Yu chose the assassin profession at the start.
Thus, a Level 6 high-ranking assassin roamed freely and recklessly began moving all around the base.
The Skru living inside the base were still completely unaware that their untold misery was about to arrive soon!
