It's Time to Guide Players Onto the Right Path

The commotion on the forum continued to escalate.

Before long, Skycutter Sword, using his own ID, personally posted, accusing the Emperor Blood guild of summoning the Dragon King BOSS, which triggered this Novice Village crisis.

"Emperor Blood must be held responsible for the deaths of over a thousand players!" Skycutter Sword declared.

At the same time, Skycutter Sword also presented crucial evidence from a few hours prior, where Emperor Blood players impersonated them to collect "village entry fees."

Naturally, the Emperor Blood players denied everything, engaging in a fierce war of words with the Skycutter players on the official forum.

As a second-generation rich kid, Emperor Blood God Slayer's operations like "hiring internet trolls and controlling public opinion" were his usual tactics.

With the power of Zhonghua Coins, a large number of trolls flooded the official forum.

Even though Skycutter Sword had solid evidence, he was thoroughly trashed by the trolls, and the comments section was filled with insults.

The entire official forum became a chaotic mess.

Seeing the chaotic state of the official forum, Su Yu frowned and closed the interface.

After this verbal battle, the reputation of the Skycutter Guild would undoubtedly suffer significant damage.

Coupled with the repeated setbacks in the game, the Skycutter Guild would certainly not develop as smoothly as in his previous life.

However, Su Yu was thinking further ahead.

His ultimate goal in suppressing the Skycutter Guild was to deal with the Skrulls.

Although he had now restricted the development of the Skycutter Guild, there were also many negative side effects produced during the restriction process.

For example, the hundreds of players in the plaza who were caught in the crossfire while spectating, and the fact that the official forum attracted so much attention that many players stopped leveling up and ran to the forum for verbal battles.

He needed to find a way to attract the players' attention to the path of "improving strength and leveling up quickly" as soon as possible, instead of wasting time on the forum exchanging insults.

What should he do?

Su Yu fell into thought.

His contemplation lasted for about 5 minutes.

"Got it!"

After 5 minutes, a flash of inspiration struck Su Yu's mind: "I remember that the first player to clear a level 5 dungeon gets a server-wide announcement!"

Perhaps through the "loudspeaker announcement" segment after the server-wide announcement, he could guide the players onto the right path!

With this thought, Su Yu no longer hesitated.

He activated his [Ice Shield] and strode towards the spot where the Village Chief had fallen.

It had been 15 minutes since the [Star Forger Dragon King] left, and the residual breath on the plaza had completely disappeared.

However, the remaining residue was still not to be underestimated.

Stepping on the land eroded by the breath, Su Yu's head would still occasionally show small damage values like "-5" and "-8".

But Su Yu's [Ice Shield] had 208 points of shield value, which was enough to withstand it.

Arriving beside the Village Chief, Village Chief Amon was lying on the ground, panting heavily. There were still some blue, shimmering substances eroding his skin above his body.

Su Yu was powerless to help the Village Chief; he was not a Priest and had no healing spells, nor did he have a single health potion on him.

But Su Yu still crouched down and asked with concern, "Village Chief Amon, do you need me to call the village physician?"

"No, I can handle it." The Village Chief struggled to sit up from the ground.

Su Yu quickly reached out to help him.

After sitting up straight, the Village Chief looked up at Su Yu, "Adventurer, if I'm not mistaken, you were the one who provoked the 'Star Forger Dragon King,' weren't you!"

The Village Chief stared at Su Yu, his gaze seeming to see through everything.

"That's right, it was me. But this matter started with Annie..."

Su Yu did not hide anything and explained the latter half of the [Tear of Goddess Savi] questline in detail.

Village Chief Amon listened intently.

After listening, he sighed, "Alas! I was the one who asked Sam to adopt Annie. I knew Annie was extraordinary long ago, but I never expected it to escalate to this point..."

"How about this, adventurer, relay this matter to Princess Alijeh of the Empire, and let her decide what we should do next."

"However, Princess Alijeh is not someone that common folk like us can just meet. To see her, you must obtain some proof, such as the 'Howling Moon Wolf King's Head' as proof of your strength."

Village Chief Amon rambled on.

At the same time, Su Yu's quest log also changed.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the Main Storyline [Glory of the Broom Empire]!"

"[Glory of the Broom Empire (1/100)]"

"Quest Requirements: Reach level 10 and participate in defeating the level 10 BOSS [Howling Moon Wolf Leader] to obtain the quest item [Howling Moon Wolf King's Head]."

"Quest Rewards: [Village's Best Horse (Mount)] x1, [Village's Best Sword (Consumable)] x1, Experience x2000."

In "Evolution," players could ride mounts upon reaching level 10. He didn't expect the first part of the main storyline to reward a mount; it felt pretty good!

As for the [Star Forger Dragon King] Aurelion Sol that had just flown by, if players were strong enough, they could also force it to become their mount, though it was impossible for anyone to achieve.

"Don't worry, Village Chief, I'll slay the Howling Moon Wolf Leader as soon as possible!" Su Yu promised.

"Go for it, adventurer! May the Princess's radiance be with you!"

The Village Chief nodded at Su Yu, then went to greet the other players.

After bidding farewell to the Village Chief, Su Yu arrived at the area where the level 8 monster, the Woodland Grizzly Bear, resided.

[Woodland Grizzly Bear Lv8]

HP: 120

Su Yu had only one goal right now – to quickly reach level 5.

After leveling up to 4, Su Yu had gained 510 experience from killing over a hundred level 5 Silver Snakes, 50 experience from defeating a Silver Snake boss solo, and 2250 experience from the "Tina's Struggle" quest, plus 1000 experience from "Annie's Revenge."

It took 4000 experience to go from level 4 to level 5, and his experience bar was now only 190 points away from being full!

"Level 5, here I come!"

Thinking this, Su Yu sent a Lightning Arrow flying towards the grizzly bear.

-

101

A pale blue magic damage number popped up above the grizzly bear's head.

The grizzly bear wasn't instantly killed.

The Woodland Grizzly Bear's defense was already high, and on top of that, it was 4 levels higher than Su Yu. Under the level suppression, Su Yu could only deal half the damage with his Lightning Arrow.

The Woodland Grizzly Bear, attacked, roared, and charged at Su Yu.

However, Su Yu was prepared. With a wave of his hand, he threw out a Fireball scroll.

-

33

The Woodland Grizzly Bear's HP bar emptied, and it fell to the ground with a whimper.

"Ding! You have killed [Woodland Grizzly Bear Lv8], gaining 8 experience points and [Grizzly Paw] x1."

Su Yu did a rough calculation. Each grizzly bear gave 8 experience points, meaning he only needed to kill 23 more grizzly bears to level up?

With this thought, Su Yu stopped holding back.

Lightning Arrows shot out one by one.

Chain Lightnings spread across the area.

Fireballs were activated from scrolls.

Grizzly bears fell at his feet one after another.

Experience points accumulated bit by bit, filling up his experience bar.

Finally, after killing 23 grizzly bears, a golden light flashed, and Su Yu's level reached 5!
