Chapter 437: 436, Yan Mountain Spring Eye_1
About a minute and a half later, Boss Ke resumed the broadcast.
The live stream was no longer from Boss Ke’s home, but on a bustling street.
It was 8 pm and dark, but the street was still brilliantly lit and crowded, a rare sight in a country frequently under wartime curfews.
People in the frame were all staring at the camera, their faces blank. They were likely startled by Boss Ke’s long-distance teleportation.
Xu Siqi recognized the street in the live stream and was startled. This place looked so familiar! Just the night before when he was buying supper…
Suddenly, he figured out where the street in the picture was!
Xu Siqi swiftly typed a barrage of comments: “Boss Ke, is this Wangfu Well Snack Street?!”
Other users also recognized it as Wangfu Well, and started asking about it in the comments.
With a smile, Su Yu explained to the commenters: “Yes, this is Wangfu Well in the Imperial Capital. Today we’re going to Yan Mountain, north of the capital. As the ancient poem goes ‘Even if there is a general flying overhead, the horse will not cross…wait, something is not right.”
Upon reading the end of the poem, he realized he must have gotten the poem wrong.
Seeing Su Yu’s mistake, the barrage of comments became a sea of laughter:
“Hahaha! You got the poem wrong, bro!”
“Dumb Boss Ke, it’s ‘Yin Mountain’, not ‘Yan Mountain’!”
“Educate yourself.”
“Go back to elementary school.”
…
Seeing everyone’s comments, Su Yu felt a bit embarrassed.
Ignoring the comments, he chose to fly into the air with Tina.
From Xu Siqi’s perspective, he saw the live stream gradually lifting off. The street view angle turned into an aerial view.
Quickly, the scene moved, and Boss Ke and Tina starting flying to the north.
In the middle of the flight, Boss Ke kept giving several close-ups of Tina, who was flying alongside him, making the viewers in the live stream call out “Dog abuse”.
The two of them were flying very fast. Before long, they had flown beyond the city’s fifth ring road, and the lights of numerous homes below became scarce.
In the live stream, Boss Ke was also introducing the specifics of Yan Mountain to the viewers:
“According to information provided by relevant departments, there are a total of eight Spiritual Spring Eyes in Yan Mountain, composed of one large Spring Eye and seven small ones.”
“As for their official names, the large Spiritual Spring Eye is named ‘Yan Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye’, and the seven small ones are named ‘Yan One’ through ‘Yan Seven’. Today, we are going to ‘Yan One’.”
Hearing this, Xu Siqi immediately asked a question in the comments: “Boss Ke, why don’t you attack the large Spring Eye directly? Is it because the Skuru base near the large Spring Eye is strongly defended and difficult to take on?”
Su Yu spotted Xu Siqi’s question amongst the flood of comments (his question was the longest and therefore easiest to spot) and found the viewer’s question hit the mark.
So he directly gave Xu Siqi moderator privileges and patiently explained: “The Skuru base near the large Spiritual Spring Eye is definitely much stronger than the small one. After all, there are 3,600 small Spring Eyes in the world, while there are only 108 large ones.”
“In terms of military configuration, the Skuru commander at the small Spring Eye usually has a rank of four to five. With the defense system of the base, it would be able to deal with a slightly weaker level six from the Sanctuary.”
“The commander of the large Spring Eye must be at level six, and some might even have more than one. Even a weaker legend might not be able to take it easily. That’s why we do not plan to go for the large Spring Eye.”
Immediately, the comments flooded in with “learning a lot” and “better a small Spiritual Spring Eye than none, surrounding the city with the countryside.”
Xu Siqi, on the other hand, was excited and his heart was pounding. Boss Ke had given him moderator privileges? This was something to brag about for a lifetime!
He quickly showed his gratitude in the comments: “Thank you for your promotion, Boss Ke! I will surely perform well!”
After this, he swiftly banned a few accounts posting inappropriate comments, then quickly screenshot his new position as a moderator to show off to his friends in the chat group.
…
Seeing the discussions in the comments, Su Yu smiled without a word.
In truth, his statement “we do not plan to go for the large Spring Eye” was a lie.
His real plan for the day was to attack the large “Yan Mountain Spiritual Spring Eye” right after dealing with “Yan One”.
After all, the defense of the Skuru base was gradually upgrading, and in the foreseeable future, the Skuru would strategically abandon some small Spring Eyes, focusing on defending the large and giant ones. If he didn’t take them back now, it would only get harder.
Therefore, Su Yu wanted to seize the opportunity when the Skuru hadn’t yet fully enhanced their defense and attack the large Spring Eye with Tina.
As for his white lie to the live stream, he did it to mislead the Skuru.
The Skuru might have already hacked into the Blue Star’s internet and could be monitoring his moves through the live stream.
By saying he “doesn’t plan to attack the large Spring Eye”, it could make the Skuru relax their guard.
…
In the following time, Su Yu and Tina flew north, entered Yan Mountain, and arrived at the foot of a mountain named “Daqing Mountain”.
“Yan One” was on the peak of Daqing Mountain.
There was a military base at the southern foot of the mountain.
The military base was equipped with a large number of armed helicopters and electronic equipment to oversee the Skuru base at the top of the mountain and obtain image information about it.
Su Yu and Tina arrived over the military base.
At this moment, a soldier wearing a red “Raging Sun-730 Type” military combat suit flew up from the base and saluted Su Yu from a distance.
“Hello Su Yu! I am Commander Zhao Hanyang of the 7th Division of the Blue Star Defense Force. My troops are ready for battle.” The soldier saluted Su Yu from a distance.
“Hello Commander Zhao!” Su Yu quickly returned the salute while also examining the mecha suit on him: “You’ve got your gear on already? How does it feel to pilot a mecha?”
The mecha suit Commander Zhao was wearing was captured at the Yunlu Mountain Base. After all, some Skuru were “Spiritual Mecha Masters”.
After studying and modifying parts of it for over a month, it was now ready for use.
Seeing Commander Zhao flying in a mecha suit, the live stream exploded with several times the refresh rate than before!
“Wow! Can you equip mecha suits now?”
“That mecha suit looks so cool!”
“My God, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it in the past.”
“I want to get into a mecha suit too!”
…
Commander Zhao replied somewhat helplessly: “For now, we can barely use the mecha suits. They can perform simple flight and patrol tasks, but they can’t keep up operationally for combat.”
“That’s normal.” Su Yu smiled and replied: “The ‘Spiritual Mecha Masters’ of the Skuru are also cultivators. They must have strong abilities to bring out the mecha’s full combat power. If you play ‘Evolution’, in the next update you’ll be able to take full advantage of the mecha’s potential as a result of your enhanced abilities in the game.”
“I hope that day will come. I’m only at level 29,” sighed Commander Zhao, then turned to Su Yu to ask, “Comrade Su Yu, how do you want us to help?”
