Chapter 227 The Final Stage of the Mission
Chapter 227 The Final Link to the Mission
This highly anticipated trial has now come to a close, and it will remain a topic of conversation among the high-ranking members of the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom for a long time to come. All four immortal gods have been imprisoned for a million years, and will then be sent to a star prison to serve their sentences. As for which one, Suk does not know.
Of the 38 realm lords, 29 were executed, leaving only 9 survivors. The remaining 9 were to be assigned to dangerous service in some extraterritorial battlefield, where the death rate was terrifyingly high. It was likely that only two or three would return alive.
After the trial concluded, the three leaders of the Liuyun branch promised Su Ke that regardless of how his third-ring mission went, each of them would compensate him with 3 points, for a total of 9 points.
Even if Suk completes the third ring with 100% success, the highest score he can get is only 3.
If this prevents him from completing the fourth stage, each person will compensate him with an additional 4 points. That's quite a generous gesture.
Besides, Qi Wu Haiqin secretly told him that Mo Jinghou and Kadileya would also receive a reward in the future, but Su Ke didn't care at all.
According to Suk's idea, these four immortal gods should at least serve in the extraterritorial battlefield if they were not sentenced to death, but for various reasons, they were all sentenced to "millions of years in prison".
From this verdict, all parties can vaguely discern some aspects of Suk's character and conduct.
They offer various forms of assistance, but not much.
"The points reward from the Heavenly Secret Realm is really meager." Su Ke couldn't help but complain upon returning to the Su Family Manor. The scene was so grand, including the trial of immortals, but the points were just a drop in the bucket.
In a hidden realm nestled in the starry sky, the one who opened this secret realm was none other than the great ruler of the Flowing Cloud Kingdom.
On a mountain peak shrouded in mist, the King of Liuyun, dressed in white robes, sat together with a cold man in a black robe.
"Judging immortal gods, Virtual Universe Company hasn't made such a big fuss in our Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom for a long time," the Flowing Cloud Kingdom's ruler said with a smile.
"It's one thing to judge the people from the Liuyun branch, but to drag our Liuyun Universe into this as well, Your Majesty, aren't you going to talk to them about it?" said the Prison Blade King.
"What's there to say? The evidence against Virtual Universe Company is conclusive, and there's a legitimate reason to punish them. Besides, Kadileya won't die. It's good that she's imprisoned for a million years to toughen her up."
The Virtual Universe Company arrested eight hundred of his demonic subordinates? The Lord of Liuyun Kingdom didn't care. The Virtual Universe Company had already informed him in advance, and besides, Kadileya was just an ordinary marquis.
For beings of their level, even if a group of immortal gods were to die in the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom, it wouldn't be a big deal, let alone just being temporarily imprisoned.
Liuyun City, Su Family Manor.
"Father, you were so impressive in the square just now!" Suk's two daughters, Su Yue and Su Xing, were blushing with excitement, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at their father.
Even immortal gods can be judged, and so many immortal gods watching from the side dare not utter a single word. My father is truly remarkable.
"You haven't done anything bad all these years, have you?" Suk asked.
Suk had long been aware of the nature of Virtual Universe Company and, taking precautions, had long ago begun to strictly manage the conduct of his own people.
We can't let the same ridiculous and messy things happen to the protagonist's family as in the original story.
Fortunately, the Su family is still small, with only a few important family members from top to bottom. Apart from the eldest son Su He, who is dating someone in Liuyun City (but they are not officially married yet), the others, such as Su Ke's sister Su Bei and brother Su Ta, and the two daughters, are not interested in dating at the moment.
Besides that, the family of Zuo Mu is also very well-behaved, living a quiet life in Liuyun City. The family is not large and they usually pay attention to this matter, so he doesn't need to worry about them too much. He just asks people to keep a close eye on things and resolve any problems in advance so as not to give the Virtual Universe Company a chance to cause trouble.
Thinking of the Saki family and the deceased Saki, Su Ke felt a faint sadness. Saki died without leaving any descendants, which was the saddest thing for the Saki family. His brother had left a will before he died, asking Su Ke to take good care of his family, which Su Ke also kept in mind.
Suk would also be very angry if someone harmed Saki's family.
After confirming with his family, especially Eloi who was in charge of this matter, that no one had done anything wrong, Suk was relieved. He then instructed his family to cultivate diligently before entering the virtual universe.
In the study of Suk's villa in the Rain Mountain region of the virtual universe.
Suk sat at his dark desk and calmly opened the email title on the screen. Upon seeing the title, Suk confirmed that the email was indeed about the completion status of the third stage of the mission.
The message reads: "You have completed the third stage of the mission, which has the highest score. After evaluation by many members, Suk, your completion rate for the third stage is 84%, and you can get 25200 points. You are now qualified to proceed to the fourth stage."
Suk breathed a slight sigh of relief. 84% completion rate wasn't very high; he was almost unable to pass.
Clearly, Suk's performance on Flowing Cloud Star did not satisfy the judges of Virtual Universe Company.
Suk then looked down at the comments.
"Comment: The four immortal gods and 38 realm lords in the trial all came from the Flowing Cloud Branch and the Flowing Cloud Universe Kingdom. Undoubtedly, you faced immense pressure and influence. You executed the trials of all the realm lords flawlessly. However, by standard, you didn't show sufficient impartiality towards the other four immortal gods. If you had sentenced even one of them to 'service in the extraterritorial battlefield,' your evaluation would have been much higher. Unfortunately, you didn't. It's a pity you were too self-protective; your stance wasn't firm enough in the face of pressure and temptation, which is disappointing. However, you did punish all four immortal gods with 'millions of years in prison,' proving you still have some principles and weren't completely overwhelmed by external forces. Hopefully, you can perform even better in the final mission."
Suk's lips curled into a slight smile. Clearly, if he were to truly yield in this mission and grant any of the four immortal gods a lenient sentence, his chances of getting over 80% would be slim.
Because all four immortals had been imprisoned for a million years, which was considered a severe punishment, the judges felt that he could still be saved, and that's why they let him pass.
"Master, why are you smiling?" Anla, the size of a fist, asked curiously from her shoulder. "This evaluation was clearly not very friendly to you."
"It's nothing, I just find it a little funny." Suk shook his head and said calmly, "From the perspective of Virtual Universe Company, of course they hope that I am unyielding and insist on completing their missions no matter what dangers I face. That's the most suitable subordinate in their eyes, which is understandable. However, that's their perspective, not mine."
Suk knew from the beginning that there is no perfect solution in the world, and there is no such thing as a perfect result. He could not please everyone, and sometimes he had to compromise, but he could not compromise all the time.
Besides this email about the completion of the third stage, there is another email, which should be the final fourth stage task.
Suk opened it.
