Chapter 387: 386, Senior Sister’s Pillow_1
“Pillow…”
Hearing this word, Xue Wenli’s face turned pale, instantly recalling how Donna had just hoisted her back to her room to be a cushion.
Su Yu didn’t mind, and he chuckled brightly, “Sure thing! As long as you’re okay with it, sister. Forget being a ‘pillow’, I wouldn’t mind even being a mattress for you!”
As he spoke, Su Yu pulled out the blue pearl powder and the special metal hoop for tail decoration, which he had bought on Skru Star, from his necklace. These were the gifts he had specifically brought back for Donna.
“Check this out, sister! This is a special blue pearl powder from Bergdor Coast of Lun Kete Union. Milled by an old craftsman who’d worked in the pearl industry for 43 years, it’s pricier than gold per gram on the market! Specially great for skincare…”
“And then, there’s this! The ‘Flame Ring’ from Raging Sun in Sun City, Imperial Capital, hand-carved and polished over several years by a master level craftsman. It cost me two tons of gold…”
In addition to the pearl powder and metal hoop, Su Yu brought back a lot of other gifts, which were all various crafts, clothing, etc. which would appeal to the aesthetic of Silver Human Clan; he now gifted them all to Donna.
Donna was quite satisfied with the gifts Su Yu brought back!
After stowing the gifts into the space ring, she delightedly touched Su Yu’s cheek, “Little junior brother, you’re so cute! You’ve given me so many lovely gifts, how should I thank you? How about this!”
Donna considered, then said, “I’ll open the space tunnel to Skru Star for you again in a month. This time, up to six people can go. Just like last time, I’m not responsible for whether you live or die.”
“Thank you, sister! Next time I will be sure to bring back even more gifts for you!” Su Yu expressed his gratitude.
The space teleportation device takes a month to cool down. That was a given.
While the gifts Su Yu brought back were fairly expensive, getting three extra slots in return for them was a huge steal!
Just look at Prime Minister Cao Cao’s experiences; every extra slot was an extra chance of hope!
“Hmm.” Donna nodded, then turned to Commissioner Zhang at the bottom of the steps, “Hey, old man! I promised you an additional three slots, and you have to reciprocate in kind. I don’t want to get caught for favoritism by the war inspection team.”
“Don’t worry about that!” Commissioner Zhang replied respectfully at once, “First thing tomorrow, I’ll get my team to give all videos with over a million views an additional 200 million views.”
The bribe Commissioner Zhang offered Donna was to inflate the view count on the first-person video section of the official game website.
Donna made a commission from this video section. The flower coins she earned could be exchanged for spiritual energy at the Blue Star government. This was the only legal channel for her to obtain spiritual energy, and the only one through which Commissioner Zhang could legally bribe her.
Donna glanced at Commissioner Zhang once and then turned her attention away. By then, she yawned, feeling somewhat sleepy.
The Holy Silver Human Race’s biggest characteristic was their love for sleep. A single day on Holy Silver Star lasted a whopping 42 hours, and residents usually slept for 30-32 hours every day.
Thankfully their race had the special ability to learn and practice in their dreams, seeking the essence of things, and understanding the laws of the universe in their dreams. Otherwise, their race would’ve long gone extinct.
“Come, junior brother, today you can be a pillow for your sister!” Donna led Su Yu upstairs.
“Uh…” Su Yu didn’t intend to refuse either, and let Donna lead him upstairs under the ambiguous gazes of Commissioner Zhang and Zhong Feng.
As they reached the door of the third-floor bedroom, Su Yu suddenly remembered something and asked, “Sister, do you still have that treasure map you gave me last time?”
“No more. That was from a ‘credit loot box’ I opened. There was only one. Why?” Donna responded tiredly, her eyelids heavily drooping from sleepiness.
In the “Holy Silver Court of Secrets”, the Silver Federation’s highest academy where Donna studied, students could earn credit points for outstanding performance, good exam scores, and completing the tasks assigned by school teachers. These points could be exchanged for various things.
Smaller items like weapons, equipment, medicinal materials, interstellar ships, larger ones such as artificial celestial bodies, neutrons star warships, all could be exchanged with learning points.
Additionally, the campus’ credit exchange center also offered a special item— a credit loot box.
Just one learning point was needed to get a credit loot box. In theory, you could find any item from the “exchange list” inside the box, even a neutron star warship, if your luck held out!
But about the odds… well, you understand.
Usually, the boxes didn’t have any good stuff, and students never hoped to get something like a neutron star warship. Normally, they would exchange a few boxes for fun after completing a high-credit task.
Like Donna, for example. Before coming to Blue Star, she had completed a mission and earned 103 points. 100 points purchased her equipment, and she used the remaining three to try her luck with the loot boxes, which luckily had the treasure map inside.
Donna had no clue about the contents of the treasure map. However, considering: 1. a level 1 civilization wouldn’t have anything good; 2. it would take considerable manpower and resources to go to Skru Star, not to mention there’s no guarantee they would find anything, and; 3. instead of treasure hunting, she’d rather get more sleep,
She decided to just give the map to Su Yu, and then basically forgot about it—until Su Yu asked about it now.
…
” Anyway, thanks for the treasure map, sister! We found a great treasure inside!” Su Yu thanked Donna.
“Oh? What ‘treasure’ did you find?” Donna asked casually while opening the door, obviously not taking him seriously.
At the same time, she’s lightly mocking Su Yu for his naïveté, considering anything he stumbled upon a treasure.
Su Yu truthfully answered, “Prime Minister Cao Cao got a sword hilt on Skru Star–it’s half the component of a super artifact!”
“A super artifact? What type of super artifact?”
“A Stellar Level strongman’s sword. ”
“Stellar…Wait, you’re saying Stellar Level?!” Donna got quite a shock, her sleepiness evaporated in an instant.
Even within the whole Silver Federation, Stellar Level beings were extraordinary. There were no more than 20 in the entire Federation. The dean of the Holy Silver Court of Secrets was the only Stellar Level being among all schools!
A Stellar Level being’s sword! This could indeed be called a treasure. Could a study point loot box really contain such good stuff?
“Is it true? You’re not just making it up, are you?” Donna grabbed Su Yu by the collar.
She was beginning to wonder whether Su Yu just recently learned the term “Stellar Level” and was just using this explanation to fool her.
Su Yu raised his right hand in assurance, “Absolutely true, and I have the video evidence to prove it!”
“Where’s the video?”
“Here…” Su Yu took out his phone from his necklace, looked up the chat with Cindy Doppler, found Prime Minister Cao Cao’s video, and pressed play.
After watching the video, Donna froze. It was indeed a Stellar Level strongman’s sword!
“Wait here, I’ll go get my brother!” Saying that, Donna turned into a streak of blue lightning and flew out the window, disappearing without a trace.
