Chapter 338: 338. Gifts from Legendary Strong Ones (Thanks to Yuyu SAMA for the reward of 15000 points!)_1
Looking at the blue rune in his hand, Su Yu felt a wave of emotion.
He knew this thing all too well.
This rune could be purchased from the [Silvershine Spire] after reaching revered reputation.
Back in the day, he grinded an entire month on daily spire quests to get this rune. He almost vomited from repeating the tasks over and over again before he managed to get this rune.
He never expected that Roland would now gift it to him.
“Tsk tsk…” Su Yu didn’t know what to say.
While he was still contemplating, legendary mercenary Andrew came over, taking out a basin-shaped, oval object from his Space Ring that looked like a massive water droplet.
The droplet wasn’t entirely transparent–one could faintly see spots of starlight in the very center.
“Nemesis, this is my gift to you—the [Star Realm Salmon]. I heard His Majesty gave you Mornglory to raise. I believe Mornglory will certainly like it,” Andrew handed the giant water droplet to Su Yu.
“Thanks a lot. I accept this on behalf of Mornglory,” Su Yu said, smiling as he took it.
He had never heard of the [Star Realm Salmon] before, but since it was personally given by Andrew, it certainly wasn’t bad.
In the real world, Mornglory was lying beside Spring Eye, watching Su Yu’s promotion live broadcast.
Upon seeing the [Star Realm Salmon], she immediately widened her eyes, “It’s the Star Realm Salmon! I haven’t eaten a fresh Star Realm Salmon in so long! Good job, Andrew!”
Mornglory suddenly regretted staying outside.
If she went back into the game world with Su Yu, she would already be eating the delicious salmon!
Both Roland and Andrew had given their gifts, so naturally Cecilia Nightblade wouldn’t be an exception.
She slowly came over to Su Yu and took out a palm-sized, grey metal badge, “I came in a hurry and did not have time to prepare a better gift. This is a life-saving badge that I prepared for our core members of the [Hidden Dagger] Alliance. I’ll give you one now!”
“Thank you,” Su Yu took the badge.
[Hidden Dagger (Legend)]
Jewelry
Attribute 1: Your reputation is always Revered with the [Hidden Dagger] faction.
Attribute 2: Strength +10%-30%, Agility +10%-30%, the darker the surrounding light, the higher the bonuses.
Attribute 3: When using [Backstab], 50% chance to refresh the remaining time of [Backstab], and your next [Backstab] damage increases by 50% compared to the previous [Backstab].
Attribute 4: [Cloak of Concealment] duration increases from 15 seconds to 1 minute.
Attribute 5: One-time use, if the number of targets above level 80 within 4 kilometers around you is not more than 1, you can summon [Cecilia Nightblade] to fight for you for 2 minutes. After use, the attributes of this equipment will be deactivated.
Remark: [Hidden Dagger] is also called [Emperor’s Blade]. If you are lucky enough, you may even perform an unlimited series of [Backstab]. Even a God-level warrior can’t withstand your damage.
Although this jewelry would not be of great use to Su Yu, most of the attributes aim to strengthen the assassin profession ability.
But “Attribute 5” is really powerful. After all, Cecilia is a legendary assassin. Summoning her for two minutes would be enough to get a lot done.
Simply because of this attribute, it’s worth its weight in gold.
Having received such powerful jewelry, how could you not share it with everyone?
Su Yu thought about it for a moment, then logged onto the official forum and opened a new thread: he copied the attributes of the jewelry into the post and sent it.
Upon seeing a post from Su Yu, players on the forum immediately opened it.
But after seeing the attributes of the jewelry, the forum went into a frenzy!
Especially the players of the assassin profession, they were about to explode!
“Ahh! What is this godly equipment? Are you sure this isn’t photoshopped?”
“This is tailor-made for the Assassin profession! Compared to this, my equipment is garbage!”
“But Boss Ke is a mage!”
“Damn…a Mage holding the top-tier equipment of Assassin, and it’s not even tradeable… my blood pressure is rising.”
“Such a waste! I finally understand what a waste means now.”
“Though I’m a warrior, I can sympathize. I’m already getting angry.”
The assassins in the forum wailed and howled. Su Yu just laughed and closed the forum tab.
At this time, Anduin and the rest also flew over to him.
Su Yu smiled at him and said, “Your Excellency Anduin, I’m pleased to meet you.”
“Nemesis, congratulations on successfully breaking through the Sanctuary. These are gifts from the three of us. I hope you like them.”
Anduin handed over three gifts to Su Yu.
Anduin’s gift was a shadow magic amplifier, which would greatly enhance his magic effects if Su Yu used Shadow Magic, and it could be used in conjunction with the [Fragment of Hifan’s Soul];
Thor’s gift was a fifth-order special skill scroll, [Incarnation of Thunderbolt], which allowed the user to transform into lightning and greatly increase their flying speed.
Khadgar’s gift was a copy of “Arcane Studies – From Initiation to Burial,” which recorded a wealth of knowledge related to arcane spells.
Su Yu was quite satisfied with all three presents.
He put his presents in his backpack and thanked: “Thank you, the three of you! Is there anything else you’re here for?”
Anduin couldn’t have gone through all these risks and came from afar just to congratulate him on breaking through, right?
There must be another purpose to their visit.
Anduin laughed, and the black fog on his face trembled:
“To tell you the truth. I came here for the merchandise you trade with the Elf Kingdom.”
“Because of the war, trade between our two nations is not smooth, and the goods you purchase from the Elf Kingdom have to go through numerous hands before reaching our kingdom. During this process, the price has increased several-fold.”
“I came this time to open up a separate trade channel between our two nations to trade the Elf Kingdom’s goods and avoid other middlemen from earning the price difference.”
“Oh, so that’s what this is about,” Su Yu nodded knowingly.
After returning from the Elf Kingdom last time, Su Yu had asked the goblin Veena Blackgold to start sourcing a large amount of awesome goods from the Elf Kingdom.
Items from the Elf Kingdom did not circulate in the outside world, effectively giving Su Yu a certain degree of monopoly power.
The profits from a monopoly are the highest profits.
For example, a “Statue of Liscolos” carefully carved by an Elf Master. They had paid items worth 100,000 spiritual energy coins to purchase it.
If the statue was sold in Pearl City, it could be sold for at least 500,000 spiritual energy coins.
After the merchants in Pearl City passed the statue through various hands, and it flowed through the countries of the western continent and finally arrived in Lai Yin Empire, the price of this statue would increase to 5,000,000 spiritual energy coins!
That’s a 50x increase!
Moreover, the nobles of Lai Yin Empire particularly loved the handmade artifacts from the Elf Kingdom and were willing to pay a high price to purchase them.
So this time, Anduin came to open up a trade channel to prevent middlemen from profiting.
