Chapter 35: A Thousand-Coin Chunk of Meat—Truly Delicious!

Three rounds of wine had been served, and five flavors of dishes had been presented.

After a round of polite greetings, someone could no longer suppress their curiosity.

They asked, “Great God Su Yu, how exactly did you obtain that legendary dragon eye?”

Class Two students all knew Su Yu possessed no legendary troop type.

It was therefore impossible for him to have acquired a dragon eye by hunting his own dragon troops.

Because Su Yu had sold off the Random Troop Building Card right at the start.

“I picked it up.” Su Yu said casually while eating braised crucian carp.

Though the rations in his territory were abundant, he hadn’t eaten fish in a long time.

Once back in his territory, he’d develop fisheries along the northwestern river.

“P-picked it up? You *picked it up*?”

The whole group of classmates stared, dumbfounded and disbelieving.

Bai Bai Xiaowei, meanwhile, sat upright and expressionless.

Afraid of giving herself away, she mimicked Iloti’s usual demeanor.

Her face plainly read “Keep your distance.”

“W-where did you pick it up?”

“I came across a dragonbone graveyard—I picked it up there.” Su Yu said, still eating fish.

“That luck is truly heaven-defying.”

The classmates gazed at him, awestruck and envious beyond measure.

Recruiting a rare-tier elven hero at the Hero Hall *and* picking up a legendary dragon eye—what the hell…?

“Great God Su Yu, if you hadn’t sold the Random Troop Building Card, you might’ve even obtained a legendary troop building!”

Class monitor Xu Ting teased.

Xu Ting, class monitor of Class Two, was normally a very amiable person who treated all classmates equally and was deeply respected by everyone.

Even after graduation, everyone still willingly called her “Class Monitor.”

Su Yu smiled faintly and said nothing.

Having him construct military-unit buildings was impossible.

No matter how many military units he added, it would only weaken his territory’s strength.

Su Yu paused mid-bite.

His classmates had finished eating long ago—or rather, their minds were never on the meal to begin with.

“I’ll open a private channel in the [Trading Hut].”

Su Yu gazed at the many familiar faces; he naturally understood their thoughts.

Upon hearing Su Yu’s words, everyone instantly perked up.

Those who had failed to withstand the monster tide and lost their lord status watched with envious eyes.

With a great god like Su Yu present, if they themselves managed to survive the monster tide, they were sure to get a share of the spoils—or at least a taste of the broth.

“I’ll occasionally list some items there, but all prices will be half the market rate.”

“You’re free to buy as you please.”

As Su Yu spoke, he opened his lord terminal and began operating it.

He connected to the [Trading Hut] and set up a private channel.

He placed 1,000 large slabs of meat stored in his lord crystal onto the channel.

He didn’t have much else—but he had plenty of meat.

Sylph and Iloti had hunted wild beasts across dozens of miles, and the lord crystal had collected far too much meat.

And it wasn’t just beast meat—there was even dragon meat.

Immediately afterward, Su Yu posted the private channel number for the [Trading Hut] into the class group chat.

Whoosh!

In an instant, all 1,000 slabs of meat sold out.

The students, just about to purchase, stared dumbfounded.

“Holy crap!”

“Fatty, how’d you buy *all* of it?!”

“Spit it back out!”

Classmates loudly accused a chubby boy.

The [Trading Hut]’s private channel kept purchase records—if Su Yu didn’t hide them, everyone could see them.

Jian Ruiming, the chubby boy, sheepishly chuckled a few times.

“Sorry, occupational habit—pure occupational habit.”

“I’m used to sweeping up low-priced goods in the [Trading Hut]; couldn’t help myself this time.”

“I’ll put them back right away.”

Embarrassed, Jian Ruiming re-listed 950 slabs of meat at Su Yu’s set price.

They were all classmates, and twenty of them had become lords.

Naturally, each person’s share was equal.

This was a benefit bestowed by the great god Su Yu—no one dared pull tricks under Su Yu’s watchful eye.

Su Yu glanced at Jian Ruiming with genuine surprise.

Being able to buy 1,000 slabs of meat at once meant this chubby boy’s territory energy reserves were quite substantial.

Back in school, Su Yu hadn’t really noticed him.

Since Su Yu commuted daily, he’d been largely disconnected from the boarding students.

On top of that, his academic performance had been outstanding—creating a natural barrier between him and others.

Now, however, shared interests had drawn everyone closer to him.

After graduation, whoever brought benefits became a friend.

“Fifty slabs of meat—that’s absolutely awesome!”

“So damn impressive.”

“Thank you, Great God Su Yu!”

Buying fifty slabs of meat for the price of twenty-five filled the students with uncontainable joy.

And even if they lacked territory energy, they could simply sell those twenty-five slabs!

It was effectively getting twenty-five slabs of meat for free!

How could they not be thrilled?

“I don’t have that much territory energy… Don’t buy my share for me!”

Some classmates panicked—they’d exhausted all their territory energy resisting the monster tide.

One classmate wore an extremely complex expression.

After a long silence, he finally purchased the fifty slabs of meat.

He was Tian Feng—the starter advanced-unit lord.

He’d once believed he’d become the leader of Class Two.

He’d assumed that although Su Yu possessed a rare elven hero, only seven days had passed—so the gap among everyone shouldn’t be that large yet.

Yet he hadn’t expected Su Yu to immediately list 1,000 slabs of meat for sale.

Looking at the storage information displayed on the Lord Terminal, the extra fifty large chunks of meat,

Tian Feng could only think… truly delicious!

After the joyful reunion, everyone busied themselves with developing their territories and returned to the Myriad Realms Battlefield.

Some chose to go home and visit their families.

Su Yu walked along the street, observing its layout and design,

as well as the placement of buildings.

Though, as a lord, he had been taught at school how to design a territory,

real-world references always offered unique insights.

Once a territory grew large, transportation convenience became essential.

Once population and grain production developed, Su Yu planned to develop transportation infrastructure.

“Great Lord Su Yu! Great Lord Su Yu!”

Bai Bai Xiaowei trotted over, catching up to Su Yu.

“Hehe, how was my performance just now?” she grinned, as if seeking praise.

Even with classmates she was closest to, she had revealed nothing.

“Not bad.” Su Yu replied offhandedly, gazing at a tall tower.

“Hehe.”

“Great Lord Su Yu, selling things like this—won’t it be a bit too…?”

Bai Bai Xiaowei spoke, visibly anxious.

Su Yu’s efforts were practically unrewarded.

Moreover, many people were sharp-minded,

and on the surface, only Tian Feng from Class Two possessed an elite troop.

But secretly, who knew whether others also held elite or even rare troops?

For instance, Bai Bai Xiaowei herself commanded both a rare troop and an elite hero—unknown to everyone except Su Yu.

There might even be others who, like Su Yu, had recruited rare heroes,

who had just bought Su Yu’s premium meat and were now secretly rejoicing—or even cursing Su Yu as a fool.

Bai Bai Xiaowei felt it wasn’t worth it for Su Yu.

“It’s only one thousand units of meat—no big deal.”

“Besides, didn’t you buy some too?”
