Chapter 400: 399, Scumbag Su Yu? Collecting grain_1
It’s Nemesis! Nemesis is back!
Clang.
The crown in Queen Alyssa’s hand drops to the ground.
However, she doesn’t pick it up. The next second, she appears in front of Su Yu, flinging herself into his arms like a young swallow returning to its nest, catching Su Yu off guard.
“Nemesis, you’re finally back! It’s been four months, I thought you weren’t coming back!” Queen Alyssa tightly wraps Su Yu in her arms, her eyes reddening as she gently pummels his chest with her fists.
“I’m back now, right?” Su Yu holds her trembling body, gently patting her back.
But in a daze, he suddenly feels as if he’s heard himself saying this somewhere before.
Ah yes, he seems to have told Sky Dragon the same thing.
“Does this mean I’m truly a scumbag?” Su Yu drowns in deep self-doubt.
…
The Morning Star on Su Yu’s shoulder, witnessing the scene, lays happily on Su Yu’s shoulder. How nice it would be if their family of three could stay like this forever.
The ministers observing Queen Alyssa’s action all break into relieved smiles.
Her Majesty the Empress is now 16 years old, an age suitable for marriage and producing an heir. Besides Nemesis, she never pays any attention to any other male of her age.
Now that Nemesis has safely returned, it’s time to urge them to get married soon.
Standing at the end of the minister line is another player, the only one other than Su Yu present, he is the guild leader of Shepherd in the Clouds – [Enemy in the Clouds].
As the supreme commander of the frontline player forces, he had the honor to enter the great hall today to report the frontline situation to the Empress.
Seeing such an intimate moment between Queen Alyssa and Su Yu, he unnoticeably records this scene to post on the official forum, letting other male players drool with envy.
…
Queen Alyssa tightly holds onto Su Yu, having a lot she wants to pour out to him.
But she also knows that the court is not the place for such things, so she pulls Su Yu towards the back of the palace.
Meanwhile, she addresses the assembled ministers, “We’ll stop today’s meeting here, we’ll discuss anything else tomorrow. Dismissed!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The Ministers make knowing glances at each other before turning and exiting the hall.
Could it be that the ‘Goldfinch’ little prince will be born in ten months?
Kelly Delaney, however, seems to not read situations very well.
In concern, she loudly addresses Queen Alyssa, “Your Majesty, even if you asked Marshal Aganzuo to halt the march, the troops still need food and drink, right? This matter is extremely urgent, not even a day can be wasted, or there may be many lives lost!”
She glances at Su Yu before letting out a light snort, “I hope Your Majesty does not indulge in male charm at a time of such importance, prioritize your duties.”
Kelly actually has a terrible impression of Su Yu.
In her view, Su Yu is a prime example of a scumbag.
Kelly thought that initially, Su Yu was involved with Tina Garcia, appearing to head towards a romantic relationship.
But later Su Yu, for his future, abandoned his ‘lawful wife’ Tina to be with the Empress, and even got Tina exiled from the kingdom (She didn’t know that Tina chose to leave).
So Kelly didn’t really have a favorable opinion of Su Yu.
Upon hearing Kelly’s words, Su Yu’s mouth twitches involuntarily.
Freaking “indulging in male charm”!
However, as for the food problem Kelly mentioned, Su Yu felt it was something he still needed to ask about.
“Food? Is there a shortage of food for the army?” Su Yu asked, looking at Kelly.
“Yes, the soldiers on the frontlines are already starving. It won’t be long before we run out of food…” Kelly did not hold back, expressing all the concerns discussed in the meeting earlier.
The ministers and officials around them did not rush to leave, but stood still, curious to hear if Su Yu had a solution.
Upon hearing Kelly’s description, Su Yu suddenly laughed.
“Hey! Is that all?” He patted himself on the chest, full of confidence, “Don’t worry, I’ve got the food covered. Allow the soldiers to eat their fill. Before the food runs out, I will ensure that enough food is delivered to the front line camp!”
“You’re serious?” Kelly crossed her arms, looking skeptical.
They, a group of ministers and generals, had been discussing for days without any solution. Could Su Yu have one?
Could this otherworldly adventurer possibly bring food from another world? It seemed that not only was he a scumbag, but now he had also mastered the art of empty talk.
However, Queen Alise had no doubt about Su Yu. She firmly believed that Su Yu would not lie to her.
“Nemesis, where are you planning to get the food?” Queen Alise asked, looking at him happily.
“That’s… classified, and not suitable to be disclosed here,” Su Yu replied with a serious face. “But I can assure you that there’ll be enough food. In half a month’s time, I will have the required quantity of food delivered to the frontline.”
“That’s great.” Queen Alise tiptoed and planted a light kiss on Su Yu’s right cheek. “Thank you on behalf of the suffering people of the West Continent!”
Simultaneously, Su Yu received a game alert:
“Ding! Triggered rare hidden mission: [Collect Food].”
“Task Description: The army of the Goldfinch Empire is facing a severe food shortage and requires a large supply of food.”
“Task Requirement: Collect enough food to supply the frontline camps and ensure that military operations won’t be delayed due to food shortages. Robbing civilians is not allowed. Current progress (0%). Countdown 23:59:58.”
“Task Reward: Random rewards depending on the degree of task completion.”
“Task Failure Penalty: World Prestige -5, [Goldfinch Empire Prestige] down by one level, [Queen Alise’s] favorability towards you -5.”
…
Seeing Queen Alise kiss Su Yu, the surrounding ministers began to cough loudly, as if reminding Queen Alise that there were so many people watching!
Shepherd in the Clouds, standing at the back of the crowd, marvelled. It seemed this video had to be sent to the Sky Dragon as soon as possible.
Queen Alise blushed after the kiss.
She pulled Su Yu’s hand: “Come, let’s go to the garden and chat.”
Then she led Su Yu out of the grand hall.
Seeing Queen Alise and Su Yu leave, the ministers naturally dispersed, each returning to their posts. This included a worried Kelly and a snickering Shepherd in the Clouds.
Su Yu was led by Queen Alise to the garden behind the grand hall.
The two, and a cat, sat on the swing where they sat last time, talking about the happenings of Su Yu’s trip to Skru Star.
Although Queen Alise had heard of Su Yu’s feats on Skru Star from Cat Morning Star, she didn’t find it boring to hear Su Yu’s detailed account, sitting in Su Yu’s arms and listening happily.
After Su Yu finished telling his tales, she sighed lightly. Looking at his face, she said, “From your description, Skru Star indeed has a much more advanced civilization than ours. Nemesis, your future tasks are heavy!”
“I know that.” Su Yu nodded.
“Is there anything you need my help with?” Queen Alise casually brushed the loose hair over her shoulder.
“Yes,” Su Yu said seriously, “Assign more tasks to me and to our world’s people. This way, our growth can be accelerated. Additionally, these tasks do not have to be biased in our favor. As long as it benefits both parties.”
“Alright.” Queen Alise rested lightly on Su Yu’s arm, “Rest assured, after the war is over, I will introduce relevant encouragement policies!”
