Epic Quest: Annie's Revenge

"Yo, I didn't expect the early Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon to be so polite," Su Yu said, somewhat surprised.

In Su Yu's previous life, the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon was a major figure! He and his team contributed at least 30% to Emperor Blood Guild becoming a top ten guild nationwide. He never expected that in his early days, he would be so adaptable.

"Alright, I forgive you," Su Yu replied. "But you also have to tell me the truth, which guild are you from? I've dealt with Skycutter Sword, and he doesn't have anyone like you under him."

"This..." The Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon hesitated.

After a long pause, he replied, "Big shot, we're actually members of the 'Shepherd Cloud Guild.' Our boss wants the skill scroll you're selling in the warehouse, but we don't have enough Psionic Coins, so we had to resort to this."

"Shepherd Cloud Guild?" Su Yu chuckled.

Su Yu was very familiar with the Shepherd Cloud Guild, as he was a member of it in his previous life.

The Shepherd Cloud Guild's superior was the offline Shepherd Cloud Group, a top thirty enterprise nationwide, and also the company Su Yu worked for.

Half a year after the Cataclysm in his previous life, the Shepherd Cloud Group sold all its physical assets and entered "Evolution" with all its members. It was then that Su Yu was able to enter the game.

So, when the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon mentioned the "Shepherd Cloud Guild," he almost burst out laughing.

However, he still replied seriously, "Shepherd Cloud Guild, that's perfect! I have a good relationship with your boss, Shepherd Cloud Enemy. How about this: I'll teach you a method, and if you do well, I'll mention it to Shepherd Cloud Enemy and get you a promotion and a raise!"

Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "Really? Thank you, big shot! (*≧▽≦)"

Su Yu: "=.="

Two minutes later, the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon went offline.

Then, he opened the official forum and wrote a heartfelt post with his ID: "Goodbye Skycutter, I'm truly disheartened."

In the post, the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon said he was a member of the Skycutter Guild and had been privately tasked by his boss, Skycutter Sword, to block the village entrance and collect village fees.

He didn't want to do this kind of thing. Who would want to do something so universally hated?

But for the sake of the guild, he did it, and he would take the blame!

Unexpectedly, just then, Guild Leader Skycutter Sword had privately messaged him, asking him to admit he was a member of the "Shepherd Cloud Guild" and to shift the forum's controversy onto the innocent Shepherd Cloud Guild!

The Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon refused. His conscience wouldn't allow him to do it.

So, he spilled everything.

At the end of the post, he lamented, "I can't believe Skycutter Sword is this kind of person! I was blind! Now, I swear by my ID as [Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon] that I will permanently withdraw from the Skycutter Guild and never interact with them again!"

The Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon's post caused a huge uproar on the forum!

The forum netizens laughed. They didn't expect this juicy gossip to have a second twist after the first one!

The Shepherd Cloud Guild members were stunned. How did this gossip end up involving them?

The Skycutter Guild members were shocked. Their boss had actually done such a thing behind their backs! No wonder they didn't know.

Skycutter Sword was furious. He checked the forum and wondered, who the hell was this "Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon"! He had never met such a shameless person!

In short, after the Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon posted, the original two-sided conflict gradually evolved into a multi-party war.

The Shepherd Cloud Guild seized the opportunity, regardless of the truth, and publicly condemned Skycutter Sword's despicable actions.

Skycutter Sword, of course, did not admit it.

Coupled with trolls, impersonators, and sarcastic comments, the official forum became chaotic.

However, none of this concerned Su Yu.

After logging in, he went straight to Silver Snake Valley, west of Nolan Village, entering the territory of the Level 5 monster [Silver Snake], preparing to stack up on [Goddess's Tear].

As a Level 5 monster area, Silver Snake Valley had no players.

So, Su Yu went all out, starting to clear out the Silver Snakes in the area.

[Lightning Arrow]!

[Fireball]!

Spells were cast one after another.

Su Yu's [Lightning Arrow] was still powerful, capable of instantly killing Level 5 monsters.

However, the [Fireball] magic scroll was starting to show its weakness. The average damage of 62 points could no longer instantly kill the [Silver Snake], which had a high HP of 70 points.

But Su Yu didn't mind. If one [Fireball] scroll wasn't enough, he could use two!

Under Su Yu's "money offensive," his terrifying leveling speed continued.

The [Silver Snakes] in Silver Snake Valley suffered, falling one after another like wheat ears in a field under Su Yu's harvest.

While leveling, Su Yu also obtained a piece of equipment usable by the Mage class.

[Wind Velvet Belt Lv5 (Normal)]: Defense +4

Unfortunately, he couldn't equip it yet, so Su Yu temporarily tossed it into his backpack.

Each time Su Yu cast a skill, the "additional mana" from the Goddess's Tear would increase by 3 points.

When dealing with the Emperor Blood Guild, Su Yu had already used skills more than thirty times.

After another ten minutes of leveling and killing approximately 180 Silver Snakes, the Goddess's Tear was finally fully stacked!

[Goddess's Tear (Rare)]

Accessory

Max Mana +150

Trait: Max Mana +450

The very instant the Goddess's Tear was fully stacked.

"Ding! Epic hidden quest [Annie's Revenge] triggered. Do you accept?"

"Accept!"

"You have accepted the quest [Annie's Revenge (Epic)]."

"Quest Description: You destroyed Annie's beloved toy, Toy Bear Tibers, using a trap in a cave. Annie holds a grudge."

"Now, she has called upon her friend—the Star Forger Dragon King, Aurelion Sol—to attack you."

"As a Dragon King of noble status, Aurelion Sol will not launch a second attack if he cannot kill you in one blow."

"Quest Requirement: Survive Aurelion Sol's attack!"

"Aurelion Sol's arrival countdown: 5:59:56."

"Quest Failure Penalty: Permanent account ban!"

"Quest Reward: Goddess's Tear upgrade, EXP X1000, Main Storyline [Glory of the Broom Empire 0/100]."

Su Yu carefully read the long list of quest details.

As he read, his mood rapidly shifted.

At the beginning of the quest, Su Yu saw the words "using a trap in a cave to destroy," and couldn't help but feel speechless.

He hadn't even entered that cave! They should really update the quest text.

But as he continued reading and saw the name Star Forger Dragon King, Aurelion Sol, Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat.

Aurelion Sol was a very powerful Level 84 NPC.

In the known game world, there were only 12 NPCs stronger than him.

In the outside world, there were only about 15 Skrull powerhouses stronger than him.

It could be said that Aurelion Sol was one of the strongest beings in the entire game!

But such a powerful entity would actually come to the Novice Village? And attack him?

Su Yu found it incredibly unbelievable.
