Chapter 024 The Void Necklace!
"Wow, the screen is going to be flooded with news about Emperor Yu today. He triggered six world announcements just over ten minutes ago, and now he's triggered nine world announcements."
"Is the Goblin Plains dungeon really that easy? The legendary player Yu Huang cleared the hard difficulty in just over ten minutes."
"Is it possible that the power of the Emperor Yu is too terrifying, rather than the dungeon being easy?"
"I need to level up quickly so I can go run dungeons and see the world."
"Awesome, Yu Huang is probably going to firmly hold the throne of the number one player in the game 'Eternal Life'."
"Yu Huang is indeed amazing, but it's too early to say he's the best player in the game."
"Wow, so many rewards! I'm so envious of Emperor Yu!"
"You can use level 50 Star-grade accessories and equipment! This reward is too generous."
"A step ahead means a step ahead in everything. Emperor Yu is now in a completely dominant position."
"Yeah, who knows, maybe even Yu Huang can solo the Nightmare difficulty, then his advantage will be even greater."
"..."
Countless players of the Holy Dragon Empire were discussing it.
These players are all from the Great Xia in real life, and they share in the pride of Su Yu's achievements.
……
Holy Dragon Empire, Beginner Village #1.
A young man wielding a long sword is engaged in a fierce battle with the goblin high priest.
"Huh? Yu Huang actually cleared the hard difficulty so quickly. What kind of talent did he awaken?" The young man was somewhat puzzled.
He had practiced swordsmanship diligently since childhood and was confident that his combat skills were absolutely top-notch.
With his awakened god-level talent, he believed he was no weaker than anyone else.
But now, Su Yu's performance has made him somewhat insecure.
Logically speaking, even if one awakens a god-level talent, they shouldn't be this powerful in the early stages.
Keep in mind that it took him more than forty minutes to clear the Goblin Plains dungeon on normal difficulty.
As a result, Su Yu cleared the Goblin Plains dungeon on the hard difficulty in just over ten minutes.
The difference between the two is simply too great.
"Perhaps he just had a slight advantage in the early stages, but I'm sure I can catch up with him in the future."
A resolute glint flashed in the young man's eyes; he wouldn't be so easily discouraged.
……
Holy Empire, Beginner Village No. 996.
"What? Yu Huang cleared the hard difficulty?"
"He...how could he be so fast!" Israel couldn't believe his ears.
He originally thought that Su Yu's speed in clearing the normal difficulty was only slightly faster than his, and that he still had a chance to get the first clear reward on the hard difficulty.
But now, he has only just cleared ten monster gathering points, and Su Yu has already cleared the game.
Even after experiencing the difficulty of the goblin minions, Israel couldn't guarantee that he could clear the game.
As a result, Su Yu not only cleared the game, but he even cleared it faster than he had previously on normal difficulty.
This made him question the meaning of life for a moment.
"A temporary lead doesn't mean a permanent lead, Emperor Yu, I will definitely surpass you." Israel took a deep breath.
He believed that his god-like talent would make him the strongest in the later stages of the game.
……
Cherry Blossom Kingdom, Beginner Village No. 250.
"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind! With Emperor Yu being so high-profile, sooner or later he will be targeted by experts from various countries."
"However, I think it's more likely that... we won't see that day." Miyamoto Keiichi's lips curled into a cold smile.
In his view, Su Yu's current strength is simply too illogical.
Although his awakened god-level talent is late-game type and relatively weak in the early game, it is still a god-level talent, so it shouldn't be that he is so far ahead of Su Yu.
Miyamoto Keiichi had good reason to suspect that Su Yu's talent was only good in the early stages, and that he would definitely become just another ordinary person in the later stages.
After all, it's impossible for a talent to be ridiculously strong in both the early and late game; otherwise, it would be too overpowered and completely unbalanced.
Therefore, Miyamoto Keiichi felt that he might never see the day when Su Yu was targeted by a coalition of experts from various countries.
After all, what right does a weakling have to be targeted by experts from various countries?
……
Holy Dragon Empire, Beginner Village #9528.
In the Goblin Plains dungeon on Hard difficulty.
"Wow, the first clear reward on Hard difficulty is so generous."
"Compared to the first clear reward on normal difficulty, it feels like it's at least one or two levels higher."
Su Yu felt like he was being bombarded with this wave of reward announcements, which completely exceeded his expectations.
In particular, soloing a bronze-level boss not only triggered a newbie village announcement but also a world announcement.
Triggering the newbie village announcement was within Su Yu's expectations, since he had triggered it before when he soloed a Black Iron-level BOSS.
However, triggering the world announcement was something Su Yu had never expected; it was a completely unexpected surprise.
And it was a huge, unexpected surprise.
This world announcement rewarded Su Yu with a Star-level class-specific growth-type accessory, which can be upgraded to level 50.
This is the highest-grade equipment Su Yu has ever seen.
Meanwhile, the world announcement for the first clear of the Goblin Plains dungeon on Hard difficulty also revealed rewards far exceeding Su Yu's expectations.
He originally thought the reward would be at most a level 6 diamond-grade equipment.
Unexpectedly, the reward was a diamond-grade class-specific growth-type armor piece. Although it can only be upgraded to level 40, it's more than enough.
After all, Su Yu felt that when he reached level 40, he would definitely not care about diamond-level equipment anymore.
Su Yu calmed himself down and immediately opened his backpack to check the attributes of the two pieces of equipment.
