At 12:30 p.m., Snowflake logged on.
Snowflake: "Bro! I've got something especially interesting to tell you!"
"Today, a lunatic barged into our classroom and slapped Teacher Fang across the face! Then that lunatic actually jumped from the third floor! Hahaha!"
Snowflake Leopard: "."
Snowflake: "Isn't that especially interesting?"
Snowflake Leopard: "..."
Snowflake: "Eh? Bro, you cleared Thunder Cliff? Not bad!"
Snowflake Leopard: "Luoluo, none of that is important. I need you to help me contact Kexing."
A few minutes later, Su Yu received a private message from Snowflake: "Hey, hey, hey, great master, my brother wants to see you."
Su Yu: "Your brother?"
Snowflake: "My brother is Snowflake Leopard! The one who just got the first clear of the Thunder Cliff dungeon."
Su Yu: "Oh?"
Su Yu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Snowflake to be Snowflake Leopard's younger sister!
In his previous life, he had never heard that Snowflake Leopard had a younger sister.
But thinking about it, that made sense. Snowflake had her account deleted and quit the game early in his previous life, so it was normal that she never became famous.
Snowflake: "My brother wants to meet you. Since he wasted your time, he's willing to pay you a meeting fee. Whether it's in-game equipment, currency, or even cash outside the game, including an anonymous black card, anything is fine. You can name the amount."
Su Yu: "No need for a meeting fee. Tell him to come to the entrance of the Level 10 Wolf King Valley and find me."
Snowflake: "Okay, great master!"
Su Yu put away the equipment dropped by the raccoons and headed toward Wolf King Valley.
He had wanted to meet Snowflake Leopard anyway. Since Snowflake had invited him, he simply agreed.
As for choosing Wolf King Valley as the meeting place, it was because he did not want Snowflake Leopard and the others to see him bullying raccoons. That would have been rather embarrassing.
Besides, Su Yu had already reached Level 7 and secured the raccoon boss's first kill. There was nothing worth lingering for here.
Evening Breeze Woods and Wolf King Valley were both west of Novice Village.
Su Yu arrived at the entrance to Wolf King Valley first.
A few minutes later, Snowflake Leopard's five-man party arrived along with Snowflake.
Looking at the steep cliffs at the entrance to Wolf King Valley, all five wore grave expressions.
Although each of them had obtained a piece of rare equipment, leveling in a Level 10 monster zone was still extremely difficult. The fact that Kexing could level here already said a great deal about his strength.
Standing at the entrance to Wolf King Valley, Su Yu looked Snowflake Leopard over.
Snowflake Leopard looked exactly like he had in Su Yu's previous life—rather a pointless thing to say—with a square face, sharply defined features, and a resolute expression.
Snowflake Leopard was also sizing Su Yu up.
Hmm, he looked like a very ordinary young man.
However, Snowflake Leopard felt that Su Yu's gaze was strange. It was a... benevolent gaze? He had only ever experienced that kind of benevolent look from elderly military officials in the military district.
"Hello, Kexing. I'm Snowflake Leopard. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Snowflake Leopard stepped forward and extended his hand to Su Yu.
But Su Yu showed no intention of shaking it.
With both hands behind his back, he looked at Snowflake Leopard with a benevolent smile. "Hello there, young man."
"." Snowflake Leopard's mouth twitched.
He was thirty-five, nearly thirty-six, and this was the first time he had seen a youngster dare to address him like that.
Still, considering what Kexing had done in the game, he did not dare let his guard down.
Snowflake Leopard said solemnly, "I came this time to invite you to join our guild."
"If you are willing to join us, I can give you the position of vice guild leader, along with the highest benefits package in the entire guild!"
Range and Truth chimed in from behind, "Yeah! Just join our guild already. Our guild is united and friendly, the atmosphere is excellent, and there isn't a single woman in it right now. You'll definitely be satisfied after joining!"
His words immediately drew sidelong glances from everyone present.
Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly as well.
However, he slowly raised an arm and gave it a gentle wave, speaking in an old-fashioned tone:
"Forget it. Guilds are things for you young people. This old fellow, who should have vanished into history, will not take part."
"Should have vanished into history?" Snowflake repeated Su Yu's words, looking puzzled.
Snowflake Leopard continued asking, "Then... Senior, I have another purpose in coming here. I wanted to ask you what reward the game gives after reaching Level 50?"
Snowflake Leopard sensed that something was off.
Su Yu's old-fashioned tone now was completely different from the young man's voice when he had broadcast that "loudspeaker advertisement" yesterday!
But Snowflake Leopard could not figure out what was going on, so he could only remain still and continue along with Su Yu's tone.
With his hands behind his back and his upper body slightly hunched, Su Yu said, "Give me a reason. Why should I tell you?"
The five members of Snowflake Leopard's party exchanged looks.
After their silent exchange ended, Snowflake Leopard let out a soft breath. "Senior, we are Guo Jia's people."
"Guo Jia? Guo Fengxiao? Hehe, that counts as an old acquaintance." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
If he had a gray-white beard to stroke right now, it would have looked even more natural.
In a weathered tone, Su Yu said, "Very well, then I'll reveal a little to you."
"But before that, I want to ask you something. Do you truly understand this world?"
He lightly raised his right hand. A large amount of electrical charge gathered in Su Yu's palm, crackling and snapping.
Caliber is Justice was also a mage. Seeing Su Yu's action, he was shocked. "How is that possible?"
"What is it?" His four teammates turned to look at him.
"It's like this," Caliber is Justice explained. "That spell is Lightning Arrow. I bought a skill book for it at the market last night."
"But after I cast Lightning Arrow, it immediately leaves my hand. How can Kexing hold the lightning in his hand for so long?"
The four teammates were confused by his explanation. Only March of the Steel Torrent, the priest, seemed to realize something.
The five looked toward Su Yu again, but their expressions had become far more solemn.
Su Yu smiled, canceled the Lightning Arrow spell, and said slowly:
"Have you ever considered this possibility? What if this is not a game at all, but a new world transformed from a dead world?"
"What if the spells learned and power gained in this New World can be brought back to Blue Star at a certain point in time?"
Su Yu was not talking nonsense. In his previous life, a small amount of evidence had already proven that Evolution was a New World that had been experimentally modified by the Singer Civilization, not merely a game.
But Snowflake Leopard and the other five had already been completely stunned.
There was too much information in Su Yu's words. They could not process it at all.
Only after a long while did Snowflake Leopard come back to his senses and ask carefully, "Senior, are you saying that after reaching Level 50, we might be able to bring the strength we gain in the game into the real world?!"
If that was true, then this was huge!
