15. Su Yu, level 1 to 100!
Page 1/3
Faced with the astonished gazes of the players, Su Yu offered no explanation and did not pause his actions.
[Lightning Bolt]
[Lightning Bolt]
[Lightning Bolt]
Every half a second, a lightning bolt shot forth.
Sky Dragon, Colossus, Winged God Dragon...
These core members of the Blood Emperor guild had shone brilliantly in the recent battle, yet against Su Yu’s assault, they seemed as fragile as paper.
Blinding white lights erupted one after another as the elites of Blood Emperor were sent offline for reflection.
After releasing several lightning bolts, Su Yu felt the pace was too slow—after all, Blood Emperor still had eighty to ninety players left.
So he began, as he did when grinding levels, swinging his wand with his right hand to cast Lightning Bolt while tearing open Fireball scrolls with his left and hurling them out.
Thunder and fire intertwined, igniting vast swathes of white light within the Blood Emperor ranks.
Su Yu alone was causing more casualties than the over two hundred players had just done combined!
Some players recognized the magic scrolls in Su Yu’s hands and exclaimed,
“Good heavens, that’s a Fireball Scroll sold in the Magic Hut for 50 Spirit Coins!”
“Fifty? Seriously?!”
“I was thrilled to get a quest that rewarded just 2 Spirit Coins, and now there’s a scroll costing fifty? Is that even meant for players?!”
“Damn, we’re all new players here—how does he have so much money?”
“Are you sure he’s a player? Could he be an NPC in disguise?”
The surrounding players widened their eyes one after another, some so shocked their mouths couldn’t close.
...
With a wave of spell attacks, Su Yu swiftly cut down another dozen or so Blood Emperor players within seconds.
Yet Blood Emperor still had seventy or eighty players, especially ranged archers and mages who remained untouched by Su Yu’s attacks, thus staying intact.
A Blood Emperor archer snapped to attention and shouted, “He’s alone! Ranged classes, focus fire—take him down!”
Other archers and mages recovered from their surprise and launched a barrage of attacks at Su Yu.
In an instant, dozens of magic missiles and arrows surged toward him.
Su Yu stood his ground, drank a bottle of [Basic Intelligence Potion], and raised an [Ice Shield].

Su Yu had 28 points of high defense, while the Blood Emperor mages and archers had magic power and attack strength around 10 points.

A continuous stream of damage struck Su Yu’s Ice Shield, inflicting only forced -1 health reduction each time!
With the potion’s aid, Su Yu’s Ice Shield boasted a whopping 160 shield points!
Even if he stood still and took all their hits, they wouldn’t break the Ice Shield within half a minute, let alone harm Su Yu himself.
After drawing their ranged fire, Su Yu turned his sights to these ranged foes.
[Lightning Bolt]
[Fireball]
Each spell felled an enemy.
The Blood Emperor’s ranks rapidly thinned, with ranged players receiving Su Yu’s special attention.
Eighty...
Sixty...
Forty...
In just over twenty seconds, Su Yu had slaughtered more than half of Blood Emperor’s force!
Their counterattack couldn’t even break through Su Yu’s Ice Shield, leaving them utterly despondent.
The priests were especially lost, helplessly watching their teammates’ health bars vanish one by one, anxiously scanning for a solution but finding none.
Who the hell is this guy?!
The game had only been live for three hours, so why was this person slaughtering them like it was a walk in the park?
Are we even playing the same game?
...
The number of Blood Emperor players continued to dwindle.
When their ranks dropped to thirty, they gave up resistance, gazing at Su Yu with expressions of confusion, disbelief, and helplessness.
Noticing their surrender, Su Yu ceased his assault.
In Evolution, killing players doesn’t result in a red name or any penalties for the killer, but those who are killed lose game time forcibly.
Failing quests can even lead to account suspension.
This “driving players away” mechanic was one of the game’s unique features.
Behind Su Yu stood over two hundred ordinary players, all watching him with astonished expressions as if witnessing an alien.
Su Yu turned to the dumbfounded crowd and bowed slightly, saying,
“Don’t be shocked. My high damage is because I just completed a hidden quest. An advanced NPC passing by gave me a buff, and the scrolls were temporary ones from the NPC. If you do more hidden quests, you’ll have a chance to get them too.”
Su Yu explained this to avoid drawing too much attention.
Otherwise, he’d have a swarm of players following him every day, which would be a huge nuisance.
Most players quickly believed his words after hearing this:
“Oh, so it was a buff from a hidden quest. No wonder.”

“I knew it! How could a one-versus-one-hundred situation happen? Has the game company abandoned balance?”
“Hidden quests are that powerful? I want to do them too!”
“But brother, you really avenged us! You gave that rotten Cut Sky guild a proper beating!”
Players buzzed excitedly, chatting among themselves.
Su Yu clapped his hands and continued,
“But on the other hand, don’t be afraid of the Cut Sky guild! Big guilds must pay the price when they act recklessly.”
“How about this—we all head to the official forum together and denounce them, let them know we ordinary players aren’t to be trifled with!”
Hearing Su Yu’s words, the players readily agreed:
“Right! This friend speaks the truth!”
“We can’t let big guilds run wild! It’s only been a few hours since the servers opened—imagine what’ll happen next!”
“Let’s go, let’s go! Log off! When it comes to online trash talk, I’m not afraid of anyone!”
“I recorded the entire incident. I’m posting the video on the official forum right now, and people are already supporting my thread!”
“Great!”
“For sure!”
...
Having rallied the players, Su Yu quietly slipped away unnoticed.
This was all he could do to strike against the Cut Sky guild.
He walked to the Magic Hut, bought sufficient supplies from the old mage, and then logged out.
...
That morning, Su Yu had gone to Yunlu Mountain without breakfast.
After returning home, he immediately logged into the game, and now his stomach was growling loudly.
Removing his gaming helmet, Su Yu stretched his body.
He raised the air conditioning temperature a bit and casually ordered takeout.
While waiting for the food, he opened his browser and searched for “UFO,” “unidentified flying object,” and “alien” news.
Based on timelines, the vanguard of the Skrull had already arrived at Blue Star, so many residents should have seen the Skrull ships.
Unfortunately, the government in 2120 enforced strict internet censorship. After twenty minutes of searching, Su Yu found no relevant intelligence.
Twenty minutes later, the delivery arrived.
Su Yu ate the takeout while opening the official Evolution forum.
He wondered whether the players’ denunciations of the Cut Sky guild had made any impact.
