Chapter 864: The whole story of 920

“You’re Bachst Goldfinch, aren’t you?” Su Yu looked at him calmly.

“Oh? You know who I am?” Bachst was somewhat surprised.

He had been drinking at this small tavern for over ten years, but Su Yu was the first to seek him out knowing his true identity.

Su Yu nodded lightly.

He took out a diamond-shaped silvery-white metal badge from his backpack and placed it on the table, “Do you recognize this, Bachst?”

Bachst’s gaze shifted to the badge.

Sensing the incredible and mysterious energy contained within the badge, Bachst’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He fell silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice, “Is Antonio doing well?”

The owner of this silvery-white badge was named [Antonio Forest Song], also a well-known dimensional merchant.

The two of them were close friends and had done business together across various dimensions. But due to a severe injury Bachst had suffered, the two had not seen each other for over twenty years.

Su Yu smiled and said, “The old man is doing quite well, very robust indeed. When I saw him a few days ago, he said he was going to the Fire World to catch a Flame Demon King to use as a mount!”

“Heh, that old rascal, this is definitely his style,” Bachst’s lips curved into a warm smile that had been absent for a long time, seemingly reminiscing about the days when they fought side by side.

The busy tavern owner upfront, however, was full of question marks.

What the heck?

Fire World?

Flame Demon King?

This young fellow’s quite young, and his cat’s so cute—how can he be so terribly ill?

Bachst, paying no mind to the tavern owner’s astonished look, smiled at Su Yu, “Since you’re a friend of Antonio’s, you must be here for something important, right?”

“Of course.” Su Yu nodded, “Would you like to hear a story?”

“Sure, go ahead.”

By then, the tavern owner had brought over the best wine in the house. While they drank, Su Yu began to recount his recent experiences to Bachst:

“It all started five days ago, at Golden Coast City. I went to 104 Mack Street to visit Antonio…”

Su Yu had visited Golden Coast City to meet Antonio because he knew of Antonio’s identity as a dimensional merchant and wanted to buy some rare materials from him.

Su Yu was willing to spend 10 billion spiritual energy coins (funds he had obtained from the united government) to buy a material known as [Star of Lingyun], to exchange with [Ashad, the King of Cyclone City], for the [Cyclone Core].

However, as they talked about Cyclone City, their conversation naturally drifted to the Quicksand Kingdom, which was currently invading Cyclone City.

Speaking of the Quicksand Kingdom, Antonio suddenly laughed and said, “Nemesis Your Excellency, I know your companion is a noble Star Realm cat, right?”

“Indeed,” Su Yu did not deny it, as it was common knowledge.

But Su Yu was puzzled—why did Antonio bring this up?

Antonio continued smiling, “Then do you know of a material called [Star Gap Material]?”

“[Star Gap Material]? You know about [Star Gap Material]?” Su Yu was surprised.

The [Star Gap Material] was the main breakthrough material that Cat Morning Star was currently searching for. Out of the five essential breakthrough materials, the [Star Gap Material] was one of them.

Antonio smiled, “Not only do I know about it, but the [Star Gap Material] I have is of legendary quality! Do you need it, young friend?”

Su Yu’s expression turned serious, “What about the quality of that material? How much do you have?”

“A whole kilogram.”

“One kilogram is enough! How much are you asking for it? I’m willing to pay 20 billion spiritual energy coins!” Su Yu said eagerly.

[Star Gap Material] This stuff is one of the top-tier materials in the Star Realm, something you come by chance, not by searching. Miss this village, and there may be no such shop in the future.

As for the 20 billion… Of course, it’s going to be requested from the united government, at worst I can trade and give something back to the government later.

“20 billion spiritual energy coins, hmm… indeed, that’s a reasonable price,” Antonio pondered. “However, Nemesis your Excellency, you should also be aware, items of this level are normally traded, not sold, right?”

“Of course, I know,” Su Yu responded. “What do you want to trade for it?”

“I want to trade for [Core of the Sand King], and it must be the mother, not a child,” Antonio said seriously.

He also took a moment to explain: “My old friend Bachst has been severely injured, only this can heal his internal wounds.”

Bachst had understood everything upon hearing the story thus far.

Sitting in a wooden chair at the tavern, his fists clenched, breathing heavily, his body trembling irregularly, it was evident that he was extremely unsettled.

With calm, Su Yu took a sip of his drink and looked at him with a smile, “The [Core of the Sand King] shares the same origin as your power and can heal the injuries inside you. Now, I am handing over the [Core of the Sand King] to you.

As for the [Star Gap Material], after I give you the item, I’ll go to Antonio’s place to retrieve it.”

Su Yu took a ring-shaped storage device from his sleeve and solemnly placed it in front of Bachst.

“Antonio…” Bachst’s trembling fingers reached out to the ring, his eyes already turning red.

He hadn’t expected that after more than two decades, his old friend still had him in mind.

The store’s owner beside them had been utterly dumbfounded, standing frozen stiff in place.

At first, he thought he was listening to two mental patients sharing their conditions.

But when Su Yu took out the ring-shaped storage equipment and observed the light flowing continuously on it, the only words in his mind were—f*ck!

It turned out that the person who often patronized his little shop was a hidden big shot!

Noticing the surprise in the tavern owner’s eyes, Su Yu waved his hand and released the [Soundproof Barrier], keeping the owner out of the loop.

What was to follow wasn’t something the tavern owner should hear, perhaps ignorance was bliss for him.

Looking at Bachst, whose eyes were red, Su Yu continued, “After that, I started researching how to kill the King of Quicksand.”

The King of Quicksand was no easy target to kill.

It is well-known that the King of Quicksand resides in Quicksand City, heavily defended with numerous powerful subordinates.

Even a god-level powerhouse could not do anything to it.

Among the god-level powerhouses Su Yu knew, Bernina Tide could probably breach Quicksand City and kill the King of Quicksand.

But now the Main Plane and the New World Plane had signed a peace agreement, and it would certainly cause chaos in both worlds if Bernina attacked without reason; it might even change the next expansion pack.

Although Prime Minister Cao Cao was at the pinnacle of god-level, in the game, he was just an ordinary Third Order player who couldn’t even fly.

So, to kill the King of Quicksand, it depended on Su Yu himself, and of course, Cat Morning Star.

Su Yu contacted Morning Star through a special communication channel.

As soon as she heard about the [Star Gap Material], she rushed to the Main Plane to join Su Yu.

The thing that could cause tremendous damage to the King of Quicksand was, of course, the [Stone of Water Solidification], which was its greatest weakness.

Antonio had been busy contacting numerous traders from other planes, spending almost 10 billion spiritual energy coins to obtain such a large piece.

Armed with the giant [Stone of Water Condensation], Su Yu and Cat set off on their journey to the Quicksand Kingdom.
