So, how about this, join me in an hour to go somewhere, and I’ll tell you everything I know.”

Jenny stared at Su Yu’s face, blinking several times.

At last, she let out a soft sigh, “Fine.”

…

…

The reason Su Yu hadn’t told Jenny his conjecture was precisely as he’d said: he still needed more evidence to verify it.

When they returned to their base, he’d share his speculation with everyone and tell Jenny then.

In the following hour, Su Yu carefully studied the entire journal of the original matron.

After all, this was a book left from the founding of the village and was quite valuable for research.

The book recorded the process of Sun Village’s villagers migrating to this place, farming, building the village, and leading a happy life.

The so-called “gods” were actually the ancestral spirits of all the villagers.

These spirits lingered for a long time before gradually dissipating, due to the influence of the cultivation technique they practiced.

Worship and sacrifices by the villagers could make the powers of the ancestral spirits grow stronger, and the spirits would descend blessings upon their descendants.

Under the influence of their ancestral spirits, each matron could live for up to 300 years and become at least a Fifth Rank powerhouse.

But the price was that generation after generation of matrons could not conceive, unable to pass on their own bloodline…

As for the issue of the “Flaming Fin Fish,” which Su Yu was most concerned about, the book did not explain in detail.

There was no explanation given in the book, just a warning that such matters existed and that future generations should be careful.

Su Yu didn’t pay much attention to that; he brought his conjectures into scrutiny with the entirety of the book and found nothing that didn’t make sense.

This reassured him further.

Perhaps his speculations were indeed the truth.

…

Su Yu spent roughly an entire hour studying the journal.

During that hour, Jenny tried several times to ask Su Yu about it.

But seeing how focused Su Yu was while studying the journal, she refrained from hurrying him and sat beside him, anxiously waiting.

An hour later, the time reached seven o’clock in the evening.

At this time, Zhong Feng and the others would have surely finished their busy tasks and returned to the base.

Thus, Su Yu closed the book, stood up, and said to Jenny, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to where I live. My companions are all there. Afterward, I’ll reveal the truth of the matter.”

“Alright.” Jenny could hardly wait, rising to follow Su Yu.

…

Ten minutes later, in the living room at the base.

The base was the same as the day before, with a large array of food on the table, including white bread and meats.

The players from Blue Star were sitting around the table in a circle, sharing the food on the table as their dinner.

The only difference this time was that there was an additional person, and it was an NPC.

This NPC showed no desire to eat; she didn’t even glance at the food on the table when it was time. Instead, she was staring intently at Su Yu.

Su Yu gestured “please” to her, asking, “Would you like to eat something?”

Facing Su Yu’s invitation, Jenny felt it would be rude to refuse.

So she casually took a piece of bread, nibbling on it in small bites.

But because she was preoccupied with many concerns, the bread tasted flavorless to her.

“Now, shall we start the meeting?” Su Yu looked to all the Blue Star players present.

After scanning the room, he turned his gaze to Mr. Li and Mr. Meng, “As the hunting squad, tell us about your achievements first.”

“Right,” Mr. Meng said indifferently while eating, “this morning, according to the map, we hunted in the activity area of the First Order Warcraft.

Today, we successfully captured a First Order Warcraft, which the villagers call the Geglue Beast.

With that First Order Warcraft, plus the herbs we collected, the Shell currency we earned is already enough to cover all expenses for these two days!

So this afternoon, each of us rented a medium-sized fishing boat to go out on the lake, and the whole process went very smoothly.”

“It’s good that it went smoothly,” Su Yu said with a nod before turning to Zhong Feng, “Zhong Feng, how much did we catch today in total?”

Zhong Feng put down the bread in his hands and answered directly, “The total is 5,903 Red Shell Coins, which is about the same as planned, just 153 coins more.”

“Hmm, everything is as expected,” Su Yu nodded.

Taking “Fireproof Stones” on the trip, the Blue Star players caught a total of 10 Flaming Fin Fish, which significantly increased their profits.

However, because Su Yu had to travel a great distance, he caught more than 200 kilograms less fish, making the Blue Star players’ performance not particularly outstanding, just slightly better than planned.

But at that moment, Jenny frowned and asked, “‘Red Shell Coins’? What are ‘Red Shell Coins’ that you’re talking about?”

“Oh, they are the Shell currency given to us by God after we sacrificed the Elemental Fish,” Su Yu explained. “Since they are red, we call them Red Shell Coins, which helps distinguish them from the currency used in the village.”

“Okay,” Jenny nodded, not pursuing the matter further.

Su Yu continued to address everyone, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I now fully understand the situation.

Frankly speaking, after a day of investigation, I have now almost figured out who the ‘boss behind the scenes’ that we discussed last night is–almost for sure!”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

“Boss Ke, have you found out who the boss behind the scenes is?”

“How did you find them?”

The crowd asked excitedly.

Some people turned their gaze to Jenny, who was sitting next to Su Yu.

Had Boss Ke found out who the boss behind the scenes was because of her?

Jenny looked puzzled, “The ‘boss behind the scenes’? What do you mean by that?”

Hearing her question, the corner of Su Yu’s mouth twitched.

Still, Su Yu explained to her, “The ‘boss behind the scenes’ refers to the hidden mastermind that has caused Sun Village to become what it is now.”

He turned his head to Frost Red Tea, “Frost Red Tea, you guessed last night that the boss behind the scenes was a giant Elemental Fish King born in the lake, right?”

“That’s right,” Frost Red Tea nodded.

“That possibility has been ruled out now,” Su Yu said. “Today, I found that the water temperature at the westernmost bottom of the lake was particularly high, nearly that of warm water, so I asked the boatman to steer the boat to the far east of the lake.

When we reached that spot, I discovered–the seawater at the lakebed on the easternmost side was also warm.

From this, one can infer that the water temperature at the entire lakebed has significantly risen, which isn’t something a single Elemental Fish King could achieve.”

“That makes sense,” Frost Red Tea agreed with Su Yu’s deduction.

In fact, while at the dock, Frost Red Tea noticed that all the fish caught by the adventurers were dyed red from fire elements, and he already suspected that his theory might not hold.

If an Elemental Fish King was responsible for the fish in the entire lake being affected by fire elements, its strength would have to be at least Fifth Rank, definitely not less.

For the adventurers, the idea of joining forces to kill such a powerful entity was a joke–it was simply delivering themselves to defeat.

So, it was unlikely to be the Elemental Fish King and had to be something else.

Su Yu looked at everyone and spoke seriously, “If I am not mistaken, the ‘boss behind the scenes’ is not a creature, but… a volcano!

The volcano behind our village must be on the verge of eruption, and it is the true culpit behind the impending destruction of the entire village, the large number of Elemental Fish in the lake, and the rising water temperature!”

“A volcano?!”

“It’s actually a volcano?!”

Hearing Su Yu say this, the players present were shocked.

They were not aware that “the abundance of Flaming Fin Fish signals the village’s doom,” and according to common thinking, the boss behind the scenes was usually considered a conquerable entity.

Unexpectedly, the boss behind the scenes turned out to be a natural disaster!

After listening to Su Yu, Jenny slumped into the chair, her pupils completely unfocused.

Thinking carefully about what Su Yu said, it all seemed very reasonable!

A volcanic eruption would destroy the entire village.

And it was exactly because of the volcanic eruption that the village was experiencing frequent strange occurrences–such as the emergence of many Fire attribute Flaming Fin Fish, the warming of lake water, and the elemental infection in the lake…

No wonder the ancestral matriarch emphasized they must flee the village quickly. With a volcano about to erupt, would they stay and wait for death?
