Chapter 449: 448, Three Spectacular Architectural Blueprints_1
After leaving the novice village, Su Yu planned to go to the Royal Palace to see Alyssa and Tina.
Just then, he received a message, from A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated.
At the same time, A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated had sent him a private message: “Master Chen Sheng had asked me to give you three wonder drawing plans, I have now sent them to your inbox, please check them out.”
Su Yu: “Okay, thanks!”
A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated: “No need for thanks. In fact, I should be the one thanking you. Master Chen Sheng just told me I have a unique physique and gave me a test. If I pass this test successfully, I can become his final disciple!”
Su Yu: “[Surprised Emoji] Such fortune? I wish you all the best for the test and extend my gratitude to Master Chen Sheng on my behalf.”
During the chat, Su Yu had already arrived at the Imperial City of Goldfinch via the teleportation array.
He found a mailbox by the roadside and took out the three sets of wonder drawings sent by A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated.

…
These are three excellent wonder drawing plans.
Su Yu glanced at Snow Leopard in his friends list. He was online now, so he forwarded the three drawing plans directly to him.
At the same time, he sent him a private message: “These are the wonder drawing plans similar to [Temple of Heaven, Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests] that I collected a while ago. Now I am giving them to you, remember to use them wisely.”
Snow Leopard quickly replied: “Received.”
“Amazing, there are three! I asked tens of thousands of players to find such plans a while ago. We only found one wonder-level [Sky Garden].”
Su Yu: “Put them to good use. The higher your levels, the more pressure I’ll be able to relieve.”
Su Yu: “By the way, how is the public opinion on the internet now?”
Snow Leopard: “Online public opinion has completely turned around. As for those who are stoking the surrender faction, specialized personnel are dealing with them. Moreover, a large number of experts, scholars and celebrities from all walks of life have clearly explained the pros and cons to the public through media platforms. Many people have understood the principle of ‘abandoning illusions, preparing for battle’.”
Snow Leopard: “But…”
Su Yu: “But what?”
Snow Leopard: “[Bitter smile emoji] It’s more troublesome overseas. Although the united government of Blue Star has been established, there are too many ignorant and easily incited people abroad.”
Snow Leopard: “Demonstrations involving millions of people have been organized in dozens of regions around the world. Their demands include strapping you to a cross and handing you over to the Skuru. There are even level 30+ players live streaming themselves destroying their ‘Evolution’ helmets… The situation pretty much looks bleak.”
Su Yu: “[Sweating beans emoji]Destroying the game helmet? What divine operation is this? Don’t they want to physically manifest their abilities to fly and escape?”
Snow Leopard: “Who knows? [Helpless shrug emoji] Maybe they are afraid that the Skuru people will target strong players first when they arrive.”
Su Yu: “…In any case, this situation serves as a warning to us. Emperor Manina XIII is not easy to deal with. We need to be more cautious in dealing with him.”
Snow Leopard: “Indeed.”
…
While chatting in private with Snow Leopard, Su Yu had already flown into the Royal Palace of Goldfinch.
Now he could enter directly by his authority, without needing an introduction from Keerderon.
In a secluded study in the northwest corner of the Royal Palace, Su Yu saw Alyssa, Tina, and Morning Star, who was lying on a sofa and rolling around with an Experience Crystal Stone.
Sensing Su Yu’s arrival, Morning Star was the first to pounce into his arms, putting away her Crystal Stone and cuddling into his chest.
However, it seemed that she realized this was inappropriate, so she jumped out of his arms onto his shoulder.
“You’re back!” Alyssa and Tina put down their work and welcomed Su Yu with smiles.
But due to some reason, they didn’t rush into Su Yu’s arms like Morning Star did.
“I’m back, how are things going with the war recently?” Su Yu asked.
“With the help of Tina, it’s going quite smoothly. You were right, Nemesis, Tina is indeed a learning genius!” Alyssa happily said.
Tina had demonstrated an astonishing talent in learning war-chess deductions, mastering huge and complex classical military theories in just a few months.
In terms of handling governmental affairs, Tina also learned at an astonishing speed. By now, she could help Alyssa with a lot of work, and many veteran politicians might not be her match.
As for the current war situation in the game, the combined naval forces of the Goldfinch Empire and the Lai Yin Empire had almost annihilated the navy of the Wind Chime Empire in the Promen sea, with tens of high-ranking officers from the Wind Chime Empire killed in battle.
Now, the allied forces of the two empires were preparing to land on the mainland of the Wind Chime, and it was expected that they would achieve a great victory if all went well.
Alyssa, who was relatively attentive, noticed during their conversation that something seemed to be amiss with Su Yu.
So, she asked, “What is it, Nemesis? Did anything troublesome happen in your world?”
“Indeed.” Without any hesitation, Su Yu detailed the crisis that Manina XIII had caused.
Towards the end of his speech, Su Yu added, “In the following period, I have to boost my power as quickly as possible. If I can advance to the eighth level, even the Skuru Emperor won’t dare to play these tricks.”
Alyssa and Tina exchanged a glance.
Alyssa nodded and said, “Okay, Nemesis, Tina and I will support you in any way we can.”
Suddenly, Tina said, “By the way, Nemesis, after advancing to the Sanctuary realm, using the Mage Tower to absorb common materials isn’t effective anymore, right?”
Although she was a warrior, she had a little knowledge of Mana Pools.
The spiritual energy capacity of first and second-tier materials that Su Yu used to burn was too small. While it could barely be used before the fifth level, the efficacy of these materials would dramatically decrease after the fifth level.
Nevertheless, at the fifth level, by relying on their vast quantity, Su Yu successfully piled his way through to the sixth level.
Now that he had advanced to the sixth level, the use of first and second-tier materials might be completely useless. That’s why Tina had these concerns.
