Chapter 109: A Massive Haul!
"Ah, what's this?"
Under the south windowsill, Su Yu discovered a hidden compartment with an unexpected treasure—a blueprint.
**[Pandaren Terracotta Warriors (Wonder)]**
Blueprint
- Required Territory Level: Medium-sized village
- Required Materials: 1000 wood, 1000 stone, 1000 gold
- **Building Effect**: Grants all soldiers in the territory +20% to all attributes
- **Remark**: "I, the Pandaren Emperor, make money!"
"It's actually a wonder blueprint!" Su Yu's eyes gleamed with excitement.
In the game, territorial buildings come in three categories: **standard buildings** (farms, housing, logging sites), **special buildings** (altars, theaters), and **wonder buildings**. Wonders, like the Pandaren Terracotta Warriors, Pandaren Great Wall, and Shurima Pyramid, grant major benefits and are unique—once built in one territory, no other can construct the same wonder.
In his previous life, few players reached the point of managing territories, and wonders were even rarer, with only a few thousand players possessing one among the entire player base. Discovering a wonder blueprint in the Duke's study felt like a huge jackpot to Su Yu.
"It seems my hunch was right—the Duke's study is a true treasure trove!"
With renewed energy, Su Yu continued his treasure hunt. But his search was abruptly interrupted when the study door was thrown open.
A soldier in light armor stormed in, leveling a sword at Su Yu's neck.
**Character**: [Lake, the Wife Killer]
**Level**: 61 (Tier 4)
**Class**: Warrior
**Preferences**: Women, torturing and killing those he's had relations with
**Note**: Lake has been married ten times, but all his wives have mysteriously vanished.
Su Yu's hand darted to his bag, ready to grab a **[Random Teleportation Scroll]** for a swift escape. But his gaze landed on another item—the **[Mourning of Fungus]**.
**[Mourning of Fungus (Consumable)]**
- **Uses Remaining**: 5
- **Activation Phrase**: Yell, "Inherit you, father!" and strike the target with a sword.
- **Effect**: Inflicts 99,999 true damage if the target is the user's father; if not, restores 30% of the user's maximum health.
As Su Yu read over the item's details, a daring plan sparked in his mind.
...
"Hey, you little thief! How'd you get in here?" Lake sneered as he approached, sword aimed at Su Yu's throat. Lake clearly underestimated him, thinking Su Yu was just a first-level mage.
"My lord!" Su Yu stammered, feigning fear. "I was sent here by an old mage. I didn't steal anything!"
After all, Su Yu was there to search for treasures, not to pilfer. It didn't count as stealing for a player, right?
"An old mage? Which one?" Lake's gaze turned cold.
"It was Archmage Andigus from the Silverpine Spire," Su Yu replied earnestly. "I'm just a test subject he brought here with a teleportation spell."
Su Yu invoked the name of **Archmage Andigus**, a sixth-tier sanctuary mage and a member of the Silverpine Spire's Ten-member Council. Knowing the organization's structure well from his past life, he used their name to create a diversion.
"Archmage Andigus?!"
Lake's expression shifted. Grabbing Su Yu by the collar, he snarled, "Come with me to the Duke. You can explain it to him yourself!"
Su Yu struggled against Lake's grip. "Let go of me! Only my father has the right to treat me like this!"
Lake chuckled. "Ha! Well, I'm your father now. Happy?" [😂]
Lake continued dragging Su Yu towards the door. But suddenly, a frost-rimed sword appeared in Su Yu's hand, which he plunged into Lake's body.
"Inherit you, father!"
The **Mourning of Fungus** activated, piercing Lake's heart as if through soft butter.
Although Su Yu had his "tiger skin" plan with Andigus' name to potentially secure his escape, the attack was unexpectedly effective.
"AHHH!"
Lake screamed in agony as frost spread from the wound, quickly overtaking his body. Losing strength rapidly, he stumbled, vomiting blood, and fell lifeless to the floor.
**Ding!** *You successfully killed special NPC [Lake, the Wife Killer] and gained 6,100 experience points and [Slaughter Blade lv61 (rare)].*
**[Slaughter Blade lv61 (Rare)]**
- **Attack Power**: 260-281
- **Strength**: +72
- **Effect**: Restores 10% of physical damage dealt as health.
- **Item Note**: A blade that absorbs blood… "Mosquito Sword" would be a fitting nickname!
Lake's death attracted attention, as his final scream reached the guards outside. Knowing the Duke paid their wages, they had no choice but to investigate.
Not wasting any time, Su Yu resumed his search in the study, determined to find one last treasure. With the Duke's study designated as a [treasure trove] location, he was bound to discover something even more valuable next.
Just then, he found another hidden compartment, this time beneath the Duke's desk, containing a worn-out scroll.
**[Tier 6 Temporary Experience Scroll (Normal)]**
- **Remaining Uses**: 1
- **Activation**: Infuse the scroll with magic for five minutes.
- **Effect**: Grants the user level 75 tier-6 strength for one hour with a random class.
- **Expiration**: Remaining time—48 hours.
"A sixth-tier experience scroll?!" Su Yu stared in shock.
Such scrolls typically appeared only in the late game, and it could serve as an incredible trump card. However, the scroll's **48-hour time limit** meant he couldn't take it with him to reality—a major drawback since he could have used **[Tina's Blood]** to gild it and make it a permanent life-saving asset.
Sighing at the missed opportunity, he pocketed the scroll.
Meanwhile, the guards reached the study door, their numbers swelling to thirty as they moved in.
Taking out his **[Random Teleportation Scroll]**, Su Yu activated it, channeling magic into the scroll.
In a flash of white light, Su Yu vanished from the study just as the guards stormed in.
