Chapter 718: 715, The Tears of Fujiwara Chika_1
Sky Dragon carefully recalled that body.
It was small and soft, seemingly clad in chainmail.
Considering this, it seemed to really be Fujiwara Chika!
Sky Dragon muttered inwardly: “Could it be that I hurt her in the spatial tunnel, which is why she’s crying so intensely?”
But upon further thought, that couldn’t be right.
The force of their collision had been mutual, and she hadn’t felt any pain from the impact. So Fujiwara Chika should not have been in too much pain either, right?
...
So why was she crying in such a heartbroken manner?
…
Sensing Sky Dragon’s gaze, Fujiwara Chika gradually stopped crying.
With a stranger nearby, it was somewhat embarrassing for her to continue sobbing.
The main reason Fujiwara Chika felt so upset was due to her experiences in the Wild Lands.
Before heading to Skru Star, she thought she was ready, to toughen up her combat abilities in the Wild Lands, with her people in tow, striving for revenge.
But once she actually arrived in the Wild Lands, she discovered that things weren’t as she envisioned.
She was no match for the Warcraft of the same level, being chased around the world by a very common, lizard-like sixth-level warcraft.
Then she realized that she might not even be a match for the fifth-level ones either.
After struggling with a fifth-level peak Warcraft that resembled a wild boar for nearly 5 hours, she was overtaken by self-doubt.
Not only could she not win against the same level beasts, but she even struggled to beat a creature one level lower. Was she up to the task?
Could she lead her people to victory, being so inept?
Afterward, she suppressed this nearly crippling emotion as best as she could, gritting her teeth and persevering.
But upon returning to Blue Star, especially after seeing Su Yu, she couldn’t control the overwhelming emotions anymore and cried herself silly in Su Yu’s arms.
As for why she would vent her emotions towards Su Yu, she herself was unsure.
It was only when Sky Dragon woke up that Fujiwara Chika started to collect herself.
…
Seeing Fujiwara Chika gradually stop crying, Su Yu, who was embracing her, was also relieved.
Thankfully there was no one else around, otherwise if people saw Fujiwara Chika crying in such a desolate state, they might think that he had done something to wrong her.
“Prime Minister Fujiwara Chika, why are you crying? Did something upsetting happen to you on Skru Star?” Su Yu asked softly, offering her a tissue from his pocket.
Fujiwara Chika took the tissue, wiped the tear stains from her face, and said quietly, “I apologize to both of you for my breakdown. I’m not afraid to be laughed at when I say this, but my trip on Skru Star was really quite humiliating…”
She knew that all the details of her trip to Skru Star had to be reported, even if she was the prime minister herself.
So she took this opportunity to tell the full story of her journey on Skru Star.
If she had to be embarrassed, she’d rather look a fool in front of Su Yu.
…
During Fujiwara Chika’s account, Su Yu didn’t say a word but listened attentively to her story of being chased by the Warcraft.
Sky Dragon was still feeling a little dizzy, but she propped up her head and listened to these stories patiently.

Cat Morning Star, on the other hand, was oblivious to the atmosphere.
Noticing there were stories to be told, she swiftly took out several large bags of snacks from her storage space and passed them around to the assembled group, including Fujiwara Chika. She then munched her snacks while listening.
…
It took Fujiwara Chika about 10 minutes to recount her entire journey.
At the end of her narration, she asked in a dejected tone, “That’s my experience on Skru Star. Do you think I’m useless?”
Su Yu opened his mouth wanting to say something.
But by that point, Sky Dragon had already interjected, “Of course not! Why would you think that?”
“…” Fujiwara Chika was taken aback.
Sky Dragon, supporting her own body and sitting up, looked straight at Fujiwara Chika: “You believe you’re incompetent because you can’t defeat the same-level Warcraft in the Wild Lands.
But have you ever thought that other players might be in the same boat? They might not be able to defeat same-level Warcraft either?”
“Other players?” Fujiwara Chika looked surprised.
“Exactly,” Sky Dragon insisted, “Take me for example, I actually can’t defeat same-level Warcraft either. I managed to reverse my defeats only by relying on Su Yu’s special items.
For players like us who forcedly elevated our levels through material enhancement, it’s normal to not match up to the genuine Warcraft who leveled up step by step. There’s nothing shameful about it.”
“That makes sense,” Fujiwara Chika responded, clearly having been enlightened by some aspects.
Su Yu also timely agreed, “Sky Dragon is right. Don’t jump to conclusions about whether or not you are incompetent.
You should compare yourself with other players who went to Skru Star and see what their situations are before drawing any conclusions. It’s not just you; no one can probably defeat Warcraft of the same level.”
Upon hearing these words, Fujiwara Chika nodded, her expression finally lifting a bit: “You’re all correct. I was being anxious.”
“It’s alright,” Su Yu patted her shoulder in a benevolent manner, “Young people do get misled sometimes, as long as they eventually sort out their feelings, it’s all good.”
“What are you doing?” Sky Dragon on the side sneered, “Speaking of which, aren’t you also a young person? You entered the game with us in the same batch.”
“True.” I awkwardly chuckled in response.
…
Regardless, Fujiwara Chika seemed to have completely untied her emotional knot.
After chatting a little more, Xue Wenli came down to the basement.
Su Yu asked Xue Wenli to take Fujiwara Chika to her lodging in the Imperial Capital to rest.
Fujiwara Chika, worn out as she was, knew she needed a good rest, so she left without objections together with Xue Wenli.
Upon leaving, though, her gaze had regained its firmness.
Now that she had completely understood her situation, regardless of her competence, she had to stand at the forefront and seek revenge for the 10 million people who had died.
No matter what, she had to keep moving forward bravely!
…
Once Xue Wenli and Fujiwara Chika had left, the basement was left with only Su Yu and Sky Dragon.
Of course, besides the two of them, there was also Cat Morning Star who had been observing but never expressed any opinions.
Su Yu approached Sky Dragon to help her up, suggesting, “I think you also need some proper rest, shall I escort you home?”
“Alright… wait!” Sky Dragon was just about to agree when she suddenly remembered the pale blue crystal she had obtained in the treasure map secret realm.
She wanted to ask Donna about the specific function of this crystal, and since she’s currently staying at Donna’s place, why not inquire about it now?
“What is it?” Su Yu turned to Sky Dragon.
“Uh, Nemesis, is the Game Supervisor, Donna, awake right now?”
Donna spends at least 16 hours a day sleeping, it’s anyone’s guess whether she’s currently awake.
“You mean Donna… Yes, she is awake now, what’s the matter?” Su Yu asked.
