“Participation in the campaign (233/1000).” “Participation in the campaign (588/1000).”

“Participation in the campaign (1000/1000).”

In just a few minutes, the quota of one thousand had been filled, and the golden exclamation point above Su Yu’s head had turned gray and was no longer available.

There were still a large number of players rushing over to accept the quest eagerly.

Upon discovering that the quota for the quest was already filled, the last group of players started wailing:

“Ah, I was just a few steps away! Just a few steps away from accepting it!”

“Same here, if I had known I would’ve checked the forum a few minutes earlier!”

“I feel like I’ve been eliminated in ‘JellyBean Man’! ” “You’re right, it does feel like that!”

“I didn’t expect to be the JellyBean Man myself!”

Su Yu smiled at these players, “All you JellyBean Men, better head home now. Next time, come a bit earlier!”

Ha ha ha!

The players nearby burst into laughter, as the absurdity of linking quest acceptance to “JellyBean Man” was hilariously absurd!

Su Yu turned to the guild leaders who were chatting on the side, “Snow Leopard, Zhen Hong, would you two create a few chat groups and add all the players who accepted the quest? It will be easier to assign tasks that way.” “Alright!” Snow Leopard and Red-Eyed Black Dragon immediately replied.

“Then, I’ll trigger the quest. You all just wait here.” Su Yu waved goodbye to the players, riding Dima to report to the princess.

Five minutes later, accompanied by the rumbling of wheels, the princess’s motorcade set out from Maple City.

The players summoned their mounts and followed behind the princess’s motorcade.

Everyone was incredibly excited.

4500 points of experience, wow!

Last time it was 3000, this time it could break 10,000? Wouldn’t this usher in a huge reshuffle in the level rankings?

Many looked enviously towards the silhouette in the front carriage. Whenever that man made a move, he always stirred up a major event!

Su Yu, just like last time, was seated on the third carriage with Princess Alyssa.

Only now, Alyssa seemed a little embarrassed, “Nemesis, I’m sorry we didn’t inform you in advance that we’ve changed our route back to Goldfinch City.” “Changed route? Which route did we change to?” Su Yu asked.

“This time we’ve opted to take the water route. General Shuhe’s battleships are already waiting for us at the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal. Based on my judgment, the water route should be safer.”

Su Yu nodded, “If it’s the water route, then it’s the water route. I have no objection.”

The princess was right. Kalet’s Rebel Navy has always been their weakest link, so taking the water route would undoubtedly enhance their safety.

“But…” The princess glanced at the large group of players with a troubled look. “General Shuhe didn’t prepare enough ships for us. Only three battleships can’t carry all these adventurers. Can you dismiss some of them? Just leave three to four hundred.’

“This…” Su Yu frowned.

He realized that this was the first test of this scenario quest.

However, Su Yu quickly thought of a strategy.

“Don’t worry, I have a solution!”

Then he said to Cat Morning Star in the princess’s arms, “Morning Star, transform into a deer, we’ll head to the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal first.’

Morning Star:

About ten minutes later, at the Blue Maple Ferry Terminal.

The players were standing on the dock, looking at the huge fleet anchoring not far away.

The three largest ships in the fleet were General Shuhe’s battleships, with the flag of the Goldfinch family gleaming at the top of the masts.

Each of the battleships’ decks held thirty to forty soldiers armed in armor or holding bows and arrows, all extremely powerful.

Behind the battleships were three large commercial vessels. These were the vessels that Su Yu had bought for fifty thousand spiritual energy coins each to provide for the players.

The players were lining up to board and were all incredibly excited.

“This campaign quest is even more epic than the last one! It’s a naval battlefield!”

“I’ve always been afraid of water since I was a kid, but not this time!”

“Did you see the ship we’re standing on? Nemesis just said in the chat that he bought these three ships, each costing fifty thousand spiritual energy coins!” “Fifty thousand! Is that even true?”

“It should be, I have a friend who once wanted to buy a ship for trading, and it costs about fifty to sixty thousand spiritual energy coins for a ship of this tonnage.”

“My god! Three ships that’s one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins! Nemesis sure is loaded!”

“Nemesis is too kind! Providing us a high-experience quest and spending so much money on us.”

“I can’t stand it. After the quest is finished, I must give the spiritual energy coins earned from the quest to Nemesis to make up his loss.”

“Me too.”

“Count me in.”

Meanwhile, Su Yu, the princess, General Shuhe, and the ship owners were chatting on the dock.

The princess looked at the three large commercial ships behind the battleships, finding it hard to believe, “Nemesis, did you buy these three ships? They must’ve cost a lot!”

“Not much, just one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins. For Your Highness’s safety considerations, no amount of money is too much!” Su Yu laughed.

He took out his black Magic Crystal Card and transferred one hundred and fifty thousand spiritual energy coins to the ship owners.

The ship owners, upon receiving the money, were all beaming with joy.

The princess watched Su Yu’s actions.

Considering that Su Yu had never actively asked anything from her and had only gone out of his way to spend on her behalf, her gratitude towards Su Yu deepened.

“When I ascend the throne, I must award Nemesis a high-ranking title!” she thought to herself.

“Ding! Princess Alyssa’s favorability towards you has increased by 3.”

Seeing the increased favorability of the princess, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel relieved.

He made the payment to the ship owners in front of the princess to increase her favorability towards him.

At present, the princess’s favorability towards him had already reached 17. As long as it increased by another 3 to reach 20, he would gain more World Prestige points, and then he could accumulate 10 World Prestige points to buy territory!

Standing beside them was the very robust middle-aged soldier, General Shuhe. He had no objection to Su Yu purchasing these boats, as they could serve as cannon fodder if a battle were to break out ahead.

He glanced at the sky and then respectfully said to the princess, “Your Highness, it’s getting late, let’s set off.”

“Alright, let’s set off!” The princess nodded, glanced at Su Yu, and then stepped onto the battleship.

Su Yu followed the princess onto the battleship.

The two of them, together, ascended to the second floor of the battleship.

The second floor of the battleship was clearly in a luxurious setting arranged by General Shuhe, affording a particularly expansive view.

From the second floor, one could clearly see the wide and flat river surface, as well as the thriving Blue Maple Town on the west side of the river.

The river in front was called the Forever Night River. Following the river downstream would lead to the intersection of the Forever Night River and the Luminous River. Taking this route to Goldfinch City would save three days of travel time.

General Shuhe didn’t join Su Yu and the others on the second floor, instead, he stood on the battleship’s deck.

Once everyone had boarded, he loudly announced:

“The princess has ordered, the fleet sets sail!”

General Shuhe’s voice echoed over the river.

The grand fleet started to move and officially set sail!
