Chapter 311: 311, ‘Win-Win Cooperation’_1
Moreover, Snow Leopard didn’t intend to hide it, he directly announced to all players through the chatroom the way to obtain [Contribution Value] and its function.
Upon finding out that one-thousandth of the [Contribution Value] could be exchanged for a spiritual energy coin, players were frantically searching their mission areas like they’d been injected with adrenaline, their eyes wide open in fear of missing any high-value items.
After all, the treasures in the houses of the nobility were worth at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of spiritual energy coins, getting just one would be enough to divide among them dozens or hundreds of spiritual energy coins!
The homes of all the nobles were instantly thrown into chaos by the players.
After their backpacks were full, the players took their spoils of war to the central square and handed them over to Yu.
Su Yu opened the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] and put all the spoils into it.
The [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain], as a broken interfacial, had an inconceivably large capacity and was not worried about not being able to fit anything.
Line after line of game prompts screened in his game log:
“Ding, successfully received [Emerald Beads Hat (Craftsman)], task progress +32,000.”
“Ding, successfully received [Slaughterer Cast Iron Short Boots (Epic)], task progress +7,500.”
“Ding, successfully received [Top-grade Turquoise], mission progress +210,000.”
As items were collected into the necklace, Su Yu’s mission progress rapidly rose!
The highest several contributions still came from the six major families, the Goblin bank, and the major business associations.
Su Yu roughly estimated that each of them had contributed over a billion in mission progress to him!
After the players had pretty much ransacked everything, Su Yu’s mission progress halted at “21.13 billion” spiritual energy coins.
Just this trip to Haiyan City alone had completed more than half of his mission!
This was mainly due to Su Yu’s wise decision.
Had Su Yu not chosen to storm straight into Haiyan City, but instead accepted Deputy Marshal Lucas’s suggestion to press in from east to west through the kingdoms of Kunke and Lu Man, the nobles of Haiyan City would have already shipped their wealth to other continents using ships!
In that case, Su Yu’s spoils would probably not even be a fifth of what he received this time.
Su Yu also secretly rejoiced in his heart about his wise decision.
The entire ransacking process lasted two hours, equivalent to a day and a night in game time.
After a day and a night of ransacking, the fat of the nobles of Haiyan City was basically drained.
Su Yu looked up, the resentment from the high-ranking experts of Haiyan City floating in the sky was almost tangible.
Their accumulation of many years was taken away by Su Yu without any reason, if not for the gap between them being too big, they might have wanted to fight Su Yu to the death to get their things back!
Su Yu, using the [Flight Skill] bestowed on him by Roland, leisurely flew into the sky and examined the experts of Haiyan City.
Then he leisurely said, “Now that things have come to this point, I guess you are all not feeling too good, right?”
Seeing Su Yu’s triumphant look, the hatred level of Haiyan City’s high-ranking experts immediately maxed out.
Many already had their hands on their weapons, on the verge of making a move.
“Everyone, calm down!” Su Yu gestured with his hand, “I have a suggestion that can completely make up for your losses, and even help you make a fortune. Would you be interested?”
The high-ranking experts of Haiyan City looked at each other, all at a loss.
Nemesis… What was he planning on doing next?
Mosby Gesang remained calm.
He waved his wand, and a large [Soundproof Barrier] appeared in the air, enclosing everyone within:
“Speak, Nemesis, Your Excellency, what suggestion do you have?”
Su Yu pointed to the east, smiled and said, “Haiyan City is just the first stop of our action, apart from here, the kingdoms of Lu Man, Kunke and all other duchies and kingdoms will be treated equally, without any discrimination!”
Then he pointed at the players who were still diligently hauling things below, “But we are short of hands, with only a mere 10,000 people, which is not enough to cover all the towns, so I need your help.”
“Need our help?” The high-ranking experts of Haiyan City momentarily thought they had heard wrong.
Big Bro! You came to rob us, and you’re even asking for our help?
“That’s right!” Su Yu nodded, “You send troops to assist us in dealing with other duchies, kingdoms, we will split the spoils of war seventy-thirty, how’s that? We get seventy, you get thirty.”
The main reason Su Yu proposed these terms, like he mentioned, was that there weren’t enough people on their side.
With only 10,000 players, it was almost impossible to cover the hundreds of city-states in ten kingdoms.
Secondly, over 70% of the boats in Western Continent (referring to the countries west of Gold Sparrow) were in the hills of the Federation.
As long as the Federation of the Hills accepts Su Yu’s terms, the wealth of other kingdoms and duchies would be unlikely to flow to other continents, resulting in higher profits for Su Yu!
Hearing Su Yu’s suggestion, many of the high-ranking experts in Haiyan City were tempted!
There were so many kingdoms, duchies in the Western Continent, and tens of thousands of cities, big and small.
If they really cooperated with Su Yu and got 30% of the profits, their current losses would be insignificant! They could indeed make a huge profit!
But some high-ranking experts were full of worry, like Mosby Gesang.
He stroked his beard, shook his head saying, “Nemesis, Your Excellency, if we do this, how will the other surrounding countries view us? We the Hills would definitely face hostility from neighbouring countries, the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.”
“What are they afraid of?” Su Yu waved his hand dismissively, “Let me ask you, what is the most important thing for a country?”
Mosby Gesang: “…..”
Su Yu responded solemnly: “It’s national strength!”
“If you guys agree to my terms to get 30% of the resources, you can utilize these resources to cultivate a lot of experts to enhance national power.”
“The countries around you would suffer a great loss from our united raid, can you still be afraid of them as you surpass them? What does hostility mean in the face of absolute power? If your country can have one more seventh-order legend or several sixth-order sanctuaries, you guys will be the first kingdom in the Western Continent, who would dare to oppose you?”
An expert from behind Mosby Gesang also stepped forward excitedly saying, “That’s right, Lord Gesang, this could be our chance to become the first kingdom in the Western Continent! I think it’s worth a try!”
Mosby Gesang still didn’t say a word, but by the looks of his expression, it seemed he had begun to waver.
Su Yu then laughed, “If you guys don’t want this opportunity, I don’t mind. The marshal of our Empire – [Tina Garcia] has already led her elite troops to raid the Kingdom of Kunke. I can give them this opportunity. I believe that King Charles won’t miss this chance.”
“Fine, I accept your terms,” Mosby Gesang finally chose to accept Su Yu.
Su Yu was right, national strength is paramount.
As long as they can become stronger through this opportunity, widen the gap in national power with neighbouring countries, not only will the neighbouring countries not retaliate, they might even become their lackeys!
