Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start
Chapter 1159 - Chapter 1159 1121 Four Symbols Naming

Chapter 1159: 1121, Four Symbols Naming Chapter 1159: 1121, Four Symbols Naming From the moment the four nodes were born, Chairman Hu Jing named them one after another.

The four nodes are located in the east, south, west, and north respectively.

Therefore, the Chairman named them–Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.

The eastern node belongs to the Azure Dragon, the western node to the White Tiger, the northern node to the Vermilion Bird, and the southern node to the Black Tortoise.

However, as soon as these names were introduced, they received unanimous bad reviews from everyone.

When Su Yu heard the four names, his first reaction was, “Hmm… the names are nice, but aren’t they a bit overused?”

Prime Minister Cao Cao commented, “The Four Symbols Formation has nothing to do with the four mythological creatures; it feels a bit like comparing apples to oranges.”

Zhong Feng commented, “The symbolism of the four mythological creatures is quite nice, but these names have been overused in low-quality Chinese-themed online games, almost every game has them, they’re a bit too common.”

The opinions of other big shots were more or less the same, and no one approved of these names.

But in the end, Chairman Hu Jing still decided to use these four names against everyone else’s opinions.

His explanation was, “Although these names are widely used, their advantage is that they’re easy to remember; every person in China knows them, and foreign powerhouses also know them to some extent.

If we use some less common names, like the dragons’ nine sons such as Suan Ni, Ya Zi, or Pi Xiu… it would be more stylish, but it would easily cause confusion.

The war is about to start, we can’t add this burden to the soldiers, so it’s better to use these common names.”

After considering it, everyone agreed that it was indeed not suitable to use fanciful names at this time; it was most important for everyone to be able to remember easily, so they accepted it.

After more than half a month of adaptation, everyone gradually got used to these four names.

Also, in order to better fit the theme of the four mythological creatures, Prime Minister Cao Cao and other Eighth Order big shots took the initiative to remodel the exterior of the first line of defense buildings.

At the eastern Azure Dragon node, Prime Minister Cao Cao changed the color of the buildings, walls, defense weapons… and so on to shades of blue and green, and also set up a ring of blue and green light columns around the node. One could tell at a glance that this was the Azure Dragon node;

Su Yu and other high-ranking officials were also busy.

For the eastern Azure Dragon node using blue and green, they used blue and white for the western White Tiger node decorations, applying it to everything from buildings and walls to floating chariots and mechs;

The northern Vermilion Bird node was revamped with orange and red;

The southern Black Tortoise node, with gold and yellow;

After the renovations, the four nodes were distinct in color, highly recognizable, and they indeed looked pretty convincing!

After that, no one mentioned the mythological creatures as lacking in class; instead, everyone started to enjoy the four different styles.

…

Besides the different colored styles, the four nodes also required top-notch strong figures to guard them.

After some discussion, it was decided that the eastern Azure Dragon node would be guarded by Emperor Qin Shi Huang and Zhong Feng; the western White Tiger node would be guarded by Prime Minister Cao Cao and Mr. Meng.

The remaining two nodes, the northern Vermilion Bird node and the southern Black Tortoise node, were relatively more important.

These two nodes were expected to become the main direction of the Skrull people’s attack, so additional forces needed to be deployed there.

The southern Black Tortoise node was guarded by Su Yu, Cat Morning Star, and Xu Xiaotian;

The northern Vermilion Bird node, by Emperor Liu Che, Emperor Taizong, and Senior Yang Jian.

The power of Emperor Liu Che and the other two was only at the early stage of Mahayana; theoretically, the combined strength of the three of them was not as good as Su Yu alone.

But don’t forget, Su Yu’s doppelganger and the Magic Legion under his command were also in the north.

The overall strength of the Magic Legion was roughly equivalent to four Eighth Order existences, and in conjunction with Emperor Liu Che and his three companions, their combined strength would not be inferior to the south.

Thus, the responsibilities for guarding the four nodes were determined.

However, responsibilities were not completely fixed.

In critical moments, such as when the Skrull people made an all-or-nothing attack in a single direction, all the high-ranking forces of Blue Star would certainly gather together to jointly defend against the attack, rather than strictly adhere to their assigned nodes.

Moreover, the first line of defense was quite short, so reinforcements would not take too much time.

A Sixth Order Cultivator could fly around the short distance of just 214 kilometers in 10 minutes, while high-ranking existences like Prime Minister Cao Cao and Emperor Qin Shi Huang could travel from one end to the other in just a dozen seconds, making the defense system extremely flexible and ensuring that no individual was under too much pressure.

…

At this moment, at the Black Tortoise node in the due south.

Watching the countdown tick down to only half an hour remaining, Su Yu, Xu Xiaotian, and the soldiers at the node all wore expressions of great solemnity.

The soldiers were performing the final round of checks on the defensive weapons deployed throughout the node, ensuring that nothing would go wrong at this critical juncture on the verge of battle.

Xu Xiaotian held the short bow in her hands with slight tension, her delicate fingers pinching five tiny indentations into the supple bow.

The bow in her hands was the top-level magic bow obtained from the highest-level instance in the game – [Aotuo].

[Aotuo] was not of a particularly high rank–it was a Seventh Order legendary-quality magic bow.

Between Seventh and Eighth Order, there was a vast difference in attributes.

Despite being a Seventh Order legendary-quality magic bow, in terms of actual attributes, it was roughly comparable to a green piece of gear (excellent quality) of Eighth Order.

That Xu Xiaotian was wielding this bow did not mean she lacked the ability to acquire higher-order weapons.

With Su Yu’s help, she could obtain Eighth Order gear with even higher attributes; while a golden legendary might be a bit of a stretch, getting an Eighth Order golden epic was not a big problem.

But eventually, Sky Dragon didn’t seek to acquire Eighth Order weapons and instead chose the Seventh Order [Aotuo].

The main reason was that the properties of [Aotuo] matched incredibly well with Sky Dragon’s abilities.

Sky Dragon had successfully changed her class to the special profession [Aura Archer] using a legacy stone acquired from Skru Star. [Aotuo] was currently the weapon in the game that provided the greatest enhancement to her aura archery skills.

Therefore, she had carried this bow with her until now.

Additionally, she had another secret weapon: the [Dragon Soul Bow], crafted from Dragon Soul Wood.

The [Dragon Soul Bow] was also something she had obtained from a treasure map, known for its ability to store a vast amount of energy.

She hadn’t used the bow for almost four months, and she had stored a great deal of energy within it–it remained to be seen which “lucky one” would force her to unleash the power of the bow once again.

As the countdown reached the last half hour, Sky Dragon was truly a bit nervous.

She stretched out her hand and tugged at Su Yu’s sleeve, her voice tense, “Nemesis, are you really confident about this battle?”

“Of course,” Su Yu nodded calmly.

Actually, Su Yu was very nervous too. At such a moment, even long-lived figures like Prime Minister Cao Cao and Emperor Qin Shi Huang had serious expressions. Although he had lived a life again, it was inevitable to feel anxious.

But even in the face of nervousness, he couldn’t show it in front of Sky Dragon and the soldiers.

If he, as the commander, were to appear panicked, what would become of his subordinates?

So, no matter what, Su Yu had to maintain an air of calm and nonchalance.
