Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start-Chapter 744 - : 741, Earned 78.9 billion! _1

Chapter 744: 741, Earned 78.9 billion! _1

Seeing Zhong Feng’s arrival, the players surrounding Cecilia Nightblade all greeted him with friendly gestures.

The numerous NPCs around, however, wore expressions of disdain as they saw Zhong Feng.

The “Dunce” debuff that Zhong Feng had been under was still in effect, which meant NPCs instinctively showed him disgusted faces when they saw him.

However, Zhong Feng was utterly robust to such reactions.

He had long grown accustomed to this kind of expression from NPCs.

After greeting the other players, he smiled at Su Yu and said, “Nemesis, I just logged on. Zhen Hong informed me that you’d returned to the Primary Plane, so I came to check things out…You brought quite a haul this time!”

...

Zhong Feng glanced down at the “Treasure Mountain” below, the depth of his gaze was full of envy.

Su Yu nodded and smiled, “That’s right. This time I made a considerable haul, and I have got all the resources needed for leveling up to Seventh-Rank Peak!”

“But this time, I paid quite a price too. I wasted seven actual days without cultivating.”

Su Yu’s statement was modest. It’s true that he hadn’t been cultivating in these seven days, but it couldn’t be considered as all wasted.

During these seven days, Su Yu would summon his clone to help sell goods whenever he had some spare time (like when he held sales meetings in the Ice and Fire Country).

His actual body hid away and studied different high-level spells from various Magic books.

Although he did not cultivate for these seven days, he learned several high-ranking spells, and his overall strength had increased by about 30%.

…

Zhong Feng could tell that Su Yu was just being modest, so he smiled and asked, “So how much are the high-level materials and Spiritual Energy Stones worth in Spiritual Energy coins?”

Su Yu shook his head, “I don’t know. We’re waiting for the final statistics. But it won’t be long before the final tally comes in. The value of each item has already been estimated and counted. The results should be ready once we add them up…”

Before Su Yu could finish, the NPC responsible for counting below called out loudly, “Your Majesty, my lords, the total estimate is ready!”

At the sound of this, all the NPCs and players present, except for Zhong Feng, grew excited.

“How much?” All the people in the sky asked together.

More respondents had gleaming eyes and appeared anxious.

Seeing the excited expressions on the faces of the NPCs and the players, Zhong Feng was immediately hit with a barrage of question marks.

???

These things were brought back by Su Yu, right? So why is everyone so excited?

But he quickly understood why that was the case.

The NPC in charge of counting out loud said, “Based on market prices, the final result is 78.9 billion! Among them, Spiritual Energy Stones are 25.2 billion, and high-level monster materials are 36 billion.”

The moment the NPC’s words fell, a wave of excited cheers erupted in the sky.

However, these cheers were not celebration for the bounty Su Yu brought back, but for something else.

“Ohhhh! I won the bet! I knew it would definitely exceed 70 billion!”

“I’m done, I still underestimated Boss Ke.”

“Impossible! How could so little amount to nearly 80 billion? I demand a recount!”

Cecilia Nightblade crossed her arms and said, “The results of the betting are now known. Those who’ve won come to me to claim.”

Upon hearing this, Zhong Feng instantly understood everything, exasperated.

So the NPCs and players were betting based on the total value of the resources Su Yu had brought back!

Obviously, the bets had been split into “the total value exceeds 70 billion Spiritual Energy coins” and “the total value is below 70 billion Spiritual Energy coins”, with Cecilia Nightblade acting as the bookie.

Now, those excited and gleeful in the sky were the ones who won the bet; those who had gloomy and helpless faces had lost.

No wonder there were such excited cheers after the tally came in;

No wonder a handful of players had been hovering around Cecilia Nightblade just moments ago, Zhong Feng thought they were attracted by her beauty!

……

Zhong Feng cast a glance nearby and saw that the face of Red-Eyed Black Dragon looked terrible.

So, he suppressed his laughter, flew over, and gently patted his shoulder, “What? Lost big time?”

“Yeah, lost big time.” Red-Eyed Black Dragon gave a grimacing smile that was even uglier than crying, and said in frustration, “Before he set off, Boss Ke said, ‘I want to earn 50 billion’, and the total value of the goods he took was only 5 billion.

I thought even if Boss Ke comes back laden with loot, the total value would barely reach just over 60 billion at most… I didn’t expect it to even exceed 70 billion!”

Su Yu also flew over, patted his shoulder to comfort him, “I told you not to bet at the start, but you didn’t listen. Regretting it now, huh?”

“…” Red-Eyed Black Dragon’s face turned red, and he was too choked up to utter a word.

Seeing Red-Eyed Black Dragon like this, Zhong Feng promptly changed the subject. He smiled at Su Yu, saying “Congratulations are in order! You’ve earned 70 billion Spiritual Energy coins in just seven days from the trip to the 6 Great Planes! This must be the fastest anyone has ever made money in human history, right?”

“Haha, the credit mostly goes to my Prophecy, after all, information is the foundation of wealth.” Su Yu said modestly, “If someone else had my abilities, they could also make as much.”

“Since you have gathered the resources…” Zhong Feng seemed to lower his voice and asked, “when do you think you might ascend to the Eighth Rank?”

“About that…” Su Yu thought about it, and shook his head, “I am not certain.

If you had asked me when I could ‘reach the Seventh-Rank Peak’, I could definitely tell you that it will be approximately half a month in real time.

But to ascend to the Eighth Rank… to tell the truth, I haven’t figured out the breakthrough materials yet.”

Su Yu was telling the truth.

He used the Root potion as a breakthrough material to ascend to the Sixth Rank. The [World Tree Heart] was the breakthrough material for ascending to the Seventh Rank.

But for ascending to the Eighth Rank…

No player had ever successfully ascended to the Eighth Rank in his previous life, and although top Seventh-Rank Peak players like Zhong Feng and A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated had managed to figure out a few methods of ascending to the Eighth Rank, none had been able to put them to practice.

So Su Yu would have to slowly explore the path to ascend to the Eighth Rank on his own, he couldn’t just follow step-by-step instructions already laid out.

…

Seeing that Su Yu seemed reluctant to speak more about this topic, Zhong Feng changed the subject again, “By the way, one more thing.

“As for me…let me think about it.”

Su Yu was momentarily at a loss of how to respond properly.

Honestly, he was quite keen to go to Skru Star since he was powerful and possessed artifacts like the [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain], seven days’ time would be enough for him to haul in quite a lot of good stuff from Skuru.

But the issue was, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate for seven days again after going!

The goal Su Yu set for himself was — to reach the Eighth-Rank Peak before the decisive battle, not just barely entering the Eighth-Rank, so he needed a lot of time for cultivation. He could not afford these frequent trips to Skru Star.

After some careful consideration, Su Yu made his decision, “I think I will pass on this one. I want to devote more time to cultivation.”

“Alright.” Zhong Feng nodded.
