Chapter 866: 922, sister who is over 300 years old
As the logout time approached, Su Yu did not forget that Zhong Feng was still on his way to bring money.
So he messaged Zhong Feng privately, “My game time for today is almost up, you guys don’t need to rush the fundraising, just give me the money tomorrow.”
Zhong Feng quickly replied, “That’s perfect, my game time for today is also nearly used up, so I’ll bring you the money tomorrow.”
Zhong Feng, “By the way, did you forget what I told you—’The first batch of equipment and potions custom-made for the Dragon Race and the White-Headed Eagle Race will be ready tonight’. According to the news from Wen Li, the first batch of equipment and potions are ready and about to be tested.”
Zhong Feng, “Shall we go over and take a look now?”
Su Yu, “Sure, I’ll be right there.”
Zhong Feng is currently at Yunlu Mountain, while Su Yu is at home in East Sea City; he could just teleport over, and they would go to the underground secret base together.
…
Su Yu glanced at the remaining game time; there was only the last minute left of today’s game time.
With this minute, he went over his backpack and necklace, checking out the loot from today.
After checking, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled contentedly.
Today was indeed a bountiful harvest!
He collected a total of 3 pieces of Seventh Order legendary quality Cyclone Stones. (Originally there were 4 pieces, but one was given to the King of Quicksand. After killing the King of Quicksand, Su Yu and Morning Star did not find storage equipment on its body, nor did they find that Cyclone Stone.)
Cat Morning Star collected one kilogram of legendary quality Star Gap Material, and besides that, they got plenty of materials courtesy of the King of Quicksand.
If they could have such a harvest every day, they would only need seven days to gather all the heavenly and earthly treasures required for their breakthrough!
But unfortunately, such opportunities were rare and hard to come by!
…
The game countdown ended, and Su Yu, whose time had run out, was forcefully “invited” out of the game.
After taking off the gaming helmet, Su Yu used the Teleportation Technique to go to Yunlu Mountain and meet up with Zhong Feng.
10 minutes later, while chatting, Su Yu and Zhong Feng arrived shoulder to shoulder at a huge underground cavity inside Yunlu Mountain.
This underground cavity was somewhat similar to the cavity in the “Lin Long Dragon Race Research Institute.” It had an area of twenty to thirty thousand square meters and a height of about forty to fifty meters. It was originally excavated by the Skrull people who were stationed here, intended for use as a special military reserve.
After the Blue Star People took over the Spring Eye of Yunlu Mountain, this underground base had been fully utilized, and many experiments targeted at the Skrull people were conducted here.
There were now 3 platforms each two meters high and seven to eight hundred square meters in area in the underground base.
Of course, for humans, these could be called platforms, but for dragons with wingspans of forty to fifty meters, they’re merely “steps.”
On the three platforms stood the Red Dragon Queen Geli, Princess Coco the White Dragon, and Dokne the White-Headed Eagle, each in their true form.
Staff members in light power armor were fitting them with the newly made equipment.
Below the platforms, secondary profession players and cultivators were busily discussing non-stop, and the whole underground base was bustling with activity.
Emperor Taizong was the main person in charge of this plan.
After absorbing ample Spiritual Energy, his strength had recovered to the peak of the Combined Late Stage (equivalent to Upper Seventh Order).
It was difficult for him to advance further to the peak of Seventh Order before the great battle, let alone ascend to the Eighth Order Great Vehicle period.
So now he was in a state where there was nothing more he could do, which is why he volunteered to be the main person responsible for this plan.
Seeing Su Yu and Zhong Feng come to the underground base side by side, Emperor Taizong greeted them with a beaming smile, “Su Yu, Zhong Feng, your timing is perfect! We’re in the process of suiting up three friends from Skru Star for equipment, and we’re about to start the first test.”
Before Emperor Taizong could finish speaking, a surprised loli voice rang out from a high platform not far away, “Su——Yu——”
Princess Coco, the White Dragon, caught sight of Su Yu and quickly transformed into a white-haired, red-eyed loli in a little white dress, turning into a white gust of wind that “blew into” Su Yu’s arms.
Su Yu was caught off guard, but still instinctively caught her.
The only one who was rather vexed was the personnel who were equipping Coco.
They were wearing mechanical armor and had just managed to fit Coco with a belly guard and wing guard after much effort.
Now what a mess.
Coco, transformed into a little loli, shot out, and without anything to hold them up, the belly guard and wing guard fell to the ground from mid-air, making all of their prior efforts in vain.
Seven or eight personnel sent reproachful glances toward Su Yu.
“Sorry, sorry, I apologize for the trouble, and I’ll personally suit up Coco later,” Su Yu said to the personnel with an apologetic smile.
Then he turned to Princess Coco, who was hanging around his neck like a koala, with a mildly reproachful look, “Coco, you’re too disobedient. Couldn’t you have waited until after the equipment test to do this?”
“I’m sorry,” Coco’s face turned red as she stuck out her cute little tongue, “I just couldn’t help rushing over when I saw you… But don’t worry, I promise I’ll be good when you suit me up later!”
Before Su Yu could respond, the Red Dragon Queen, standing on the central platform, couldn’t watch any longer.
She was examining the white belly guard she had just donned. No matter what the functionality, she was quite pleased with the belly guard’s design, finding it exquisitely made and fitting her appearance.
Hearing Coco’s words, she couldn’t help but retort, “Coco, even though you’re a young dragon, you’re over 300 years old. Su Yu here is in his twenties; could you not act so excessively cute, please?”
“Mind your business, Auntie Geli!” Coco immediately felt defensive when the Red Dragon Queen brought up her age.
She fumed, “Age difference is not a problem as long as there’s love between two beings, right, Su Yu?”
“Uh…” Su Yu was truly at a loss for words this time.
He helplessly said, “Coco, we’re not in love with each other, I’ve always treated you as a younger sister.”
The Red Dragon Queen commented on the side, “A ‘younger sister’ who’s over 300 years older than you, tsk tsk.”
“Younger sister…” Coco felt like she was struck by lightning upon hearing this word.
But upon reflection, Su Yu indeed hadn’t shown any signs of affection towards her, and it seemed more like she was engaged in a one-sided, unrequited love.
…
Seeing that the situation seemed to be getting out of hand, Emperor Taizong hurriedly changed the subject:
“Let’s proceed with testing the equipment first, as this is a matter of life and death for both our races. Su Yu, Coco, please put your emotions aside for now.”
A thought struck Su Yu, and he quickly picked up the conversation, addressing Coco earnestly, “Emperor Taizong is right. Coco, the decisive battle will start in just over four months. Let’s focus on the war first, and we can think about our feelings afterward, okay?”
“Okay… alright,” Coco said in a small voice, a bit embarrassed.
Indeed, the current situation was critical not just for humans but also for the Dragon Race. The tragic state of Uncle, the Dragon King, was still vivid in her memory.
It would be truly foolish of her to let emotions cloud her judgment right now.
“Let’s go, Su Yu, let’s get suited up!” Princess Coco pulled Su Yu forcefully, flying towards the platform.
