After the Soul Eater Ghost was killed, the psionic matter contained within its body drifted down like raindrops.
Su Yu sat cross-legged directly beneath the psionic rain, absorbing the psionic matter.
"Ding! It has been detected that you are absorbing psionic matter. Would you like to convert this psionic matter into Experience Points or Psionic Coins?"
"Convert it into Experience Points."
Three seconds later.
"Ding! Through psionic absorption, you have gained 900 Experience Points."
The Experience Points gained from killing monsters in the real world were enormous—one hundred times that of ordinary monsters in the game!
Of course, killing monsters in the real world was also extremely dangerous.
If players were killed by monsters in the game, the worst punishment was being forcibly logged out for half an hour.
But if they were killed by monsters in reality, they were truly dead!
Moreover, real-world monsters often had no sense of fair play. They frequently ganged up on people, set traps for their enemies, and even summoned high-level reinforcements. They were nothing like the monsters in games, which stood stupidly in leveling zones waiting for players to come kill them.
But as someone who had been reborn, Su Yu always felt a sense of urgency.
Searching for ghosts alone is troublesome and inefficient. Should I find a way to cooperate with the authorities? Their intelligence network must be faster than using Qiandu searches.
However, Su Yu had some concerns about working with the authorities as well.
The main reason was that he was still too weak. If foreign spies learned his information, a single sniper rifle could kill him!
At this stage, it was better not to expose his information. He could wait until he was stronger.
But now was not the time to think about that.
Su Yu had not forgotten that he was still sitting on the campus of East Sea University!
If he did not leave now, he would definitely be treated as a lunatic and sent to a mental hospital.
So Su Yu quickly got to his feet and returned the way he had come.
The female teacher Fang Min and her students were still watching Su Yu from the window.
But they could not possibly chase after a "lunatic." They could only watch helplessly as Su Yu disappeared from their sight.
Teacher and students looked at one another in silence. Fang Min covered her flushed cheek and stared blankly into space.
Although she had been slapped, she suddenly felt as though the groggy state she had been in for the past two days had vanished!
No surveillance cameras captured Su Yu along the way.
Su Yu hung the Ultraman mask back on the supermarket shelf and safely returned to his rented apartment.
As he passed a breakfast shop on the way home, he also picked up some soy milk and fried dough sticks.
After finishing breakfast, he prepared to log in and continue leveling.
But just as he finished getting ready and was about to log in, his phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the caller ID. It was Old Wang, his department manager at Shepherd Cloud Group.
Su Yu answered the call. "Hello, Brother Wang. What is it?"
"Su Yu, HR didn't approve your resignation process. I went to HR and pleaded with them every way I could, but their attitude was still firm. They said they need your handwritten signature before they can approve the resignation process."
"Is it really that troublesome?" Su Yu frowned slightly.
Three days ago, Su Yu had submitted an electronic resignation letter to the company. But because he had been busy lining up to buy a helmet, he had not had time to go to the company and handle the resignation procedures.
Old Wang, his department manager, was a helpful person and had agreed to handle the resignation process for Su Yu.
But now they were stuck at the step requiring Su Yu's handwritten signature.
"Then, Brother Wang, what do you need me to do?"
Old Wang replied, "It's simple. Just find some time to come to the company and sign your name. Once the resignation process is complete, not only will you still receive this month's salary, the company will also compensate you with an additional month's pay."
"But then again, Su Yu, are you really resigning? Won't you think it over some more? Once you leave, I'll really be losing a key man! You're the only one who can handle those wealthy female clients."
"Alright, Brother Wang, I've already made up my mind." Su Yu checked the time. "Can I come to the company and see you at nine tomorrow morning?"
"Alright. I'll wait for you at the company."
Su Yu did not take the matter to heart.
After hanging up, he put on his helmet and logged into the game.
His login location was inside the warehouse in Nolan Village.
Before he even had time to leave the warehouse, he received a greeting from Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon.
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "Hello, boss! (*▽*)"
Su Yu: "What is it?"
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "Hehe, of course it's something. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare disturb you, boss."
Su Yu: "What is it?"
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "Boss, we logged in at midnight to level up. After reaching level 5, we tried to pioneer the dungeons."
Su Yu: "And?"
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "But we can't beat any of these three dungeons!"
"In the Silver Snake Below Green City Mountain dungeon, the final boss Monk Fahai one-shots people with a single Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
"In the Thunder Cliff dungeon, the final boss Cain Bloodhoof just won't die no matter how we fight him. One time, we finally managed to kill him, only for another one with a nearly identical name to revive!"
"And in that Green Grassland dungeon you were the first to clear, the final boss has 3,000 HP and 100 attack power! Is that something a human can beat?"
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon kept pouring out his grievances to Su Yu.
Su Yu calmly replied, "The Green Grassland dungeon is easy to clear! The Village Chief of Sheep Village asks you ten questions. If you answer all of them correctly, he only has 300 HP left. You can clear it without even fighting."
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon was nearly going insane. "Answer them all correctly? Are those even questions a human can answer? Boss, do you know what Princess Alijeh's favorite ship is called?"
Su Yu: "The 'Sky Noble,' of course! It's an airship."
"Princess Alijeh relied on that airship to evade pursuit by the northern Kalluret rebels. You should visit the village library more often. These things are all recorded in the library books."
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "."
On the first day after the server opened, everyone was busy leveling. Who the hell would be in the mood to read books in a library?
Su Yu: "Alright, alright. For the Green Grassland dungeon, you can send more people to gather the village chief's questions."
"At around ten-thirty tonight, compile those questions and post them on the forum. I'll answer them then. It can count as a benefit for all players."
Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon: "Understood! I'll go right away! (*≧▽≦)"
The two ended their private chat.
Looking at the entire private chat, anyone unaware of the situation would definitely think Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon was Su Yu's underling.
But Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon knew very well that there were plenty of shrewd calculations of interest involved.
At first, he had merely pretended to be pitiful, hoping to pry some methods for clearing the dungeons out of Su Yu.
The agreement they reached in the end seemed to require the Emperor Blood Guild to invest a great deal of manpower and resources, yet the ultimate beneficiaries would not be limited to the Emperor Blood Guild.
But Crimson-Eyed Black Dragon knew that as long as they mentioned the Emperor Blood Guild's hard work in the post, all players would develop a favorable impression of the guild, or at the very least feel that they owed it a favor.
That was why he agreed to Su Yu's arrangement without hesitation.
