Translator: 549690339

Just as Su Yu was getting ready to take further action, he received a private message.

Snow Leopard: “Are you there? I have a very important matter to discuss with you.”

Busy as he was, Su Yu didn’t reply.

But soon, he received another message from Snow Leopard: “This matter is critically important; it involves the fate of all mankind. The higher-ups are also indecisive and want your opinion.”

Su Yu: ” Where are you?”

Snow Leopard: “I’m at the ‘House of Warm Wind’ tavern in Orleans City.”

Su Yu: “Sigh, I’ll be right there.”

10 minutes later, Su Yu pushed open the heavy oak door of the ‘House of Warm Wind’ tavern.

There was only one customer in the pub – Snow Leopard.

At that moment, he was sitting beside the bar with more than a dozen empty wine jugs in front of him.

Clearly, while waiting for Su Yu’s arrival, Snow Leopard had been continuously downing jugs of wine, his face now flushing from the effects of the drinks.

Upon seeing Su Yu’s arrival, Snow Leopard hastily called out, “Barkeep, we have a new customer. Bring four more jugs of Dew Wine. This wine has a really strong kick! It tastes so much better than that what-not aromatic one offline.”

“Alrighty!” The boss came over with a smile, carrying four jugs of Dew Wine.

He also thoughtfully served Su Yu a dish of fennel beans, knowing that Su Yu favored them.

“So, what did you need me for?” Su Yu sat down beside Snow Leopard at the bar, munching on the fennel beans and taking a sip of Dew Wine.

He felt that Snow Leopard was in an odd state; being able to down so much wine indicated immense pressure on him.

“Before I talk about the main point, I must first apologize to you,” Snow Leopard said, his expression turning solemn as he looked at Su Yu.

“Apologize? For what?”

“It’s about Professor Shen Professor Shen once suggested dissecting you ”

Snow Leopard explained the incident where Professor Shen had proposed killing and dissecting Su Yu.

Given Su Yu’s abilities, he was sure to find out about this incident sooner or later, so it was better to come clean now to avoid potential confrontation in the future.

Listening to Snow Leopard’s account, Su Yu’s face turned a shade graver.

The very thing he had been so afraid of when he was reborn had actually transpired – the reason he had avoided contact with the relevant departments.

It seemed all his precautions in reality were indeed necessary. He also needed a means of self-preservation in reality.

“So, what are you planning to do with this Professor Shen? And the other professors who also proposed the idea?” A cold light flickered in Su Yu’s eyes.

“Those professors have been put under arrest and cannot communicate with anyone else. I can hand them over to you for disposal. Whatever you decide to do with them is up to you.” Snow Leopard said seriously.

“Well let’s just keep them under lock and key for now. We’ll deal with it after the war.” Su Yu hadn’t decided on how to deal with these scientists yet. Killing them seemed like a waste of talent. Perhaps life-long imprisonment was a better option.

“Can we discuss the main issue now?” Su Yu changed the subject.

“Yes,” Snow Leopard nodded. Despite his flushed face, he appeared exceptionally alert, “Mr. Li also known as [The range is the truth] you know of him, don’t you?”

“Of course.”

“Mr. Li submitted a report to Commissioner Zhang nine days ago. In the report, he asserts ‘We must make public the existence of the Skuru people, unite all the available forces, and no longer deceive the public’.”

“This report got the attention of the highest leaders. Just three hours ago, the highest leadership passed a resolution to disclose the information about the Skuru people to the public, and at the same time, to actively negotiate with various world governments to form a world federal government to unite all of humanity to face this crisis.”

“However, the highest leadership has anticipated the intense social unrest that may occur after the release of this information, so they want to hear your opinion. Should we release this information to the entire society now?”

“I see, this indeed is some big news!” said Su Yu with a grave expression.

Based on his past experience, releasing information about the Skuru people would indeed trigger intense social unrest, a sharp rise in violent crimes, and many innocent people would be implicated, losing their lives in the process.

Especially in his past life when there were not many game helmets available. By the time the changes began in late May, there were only about five million game helmets nationwide and violent murder cases targeting helmet owners were on the rise.

However, it was inevitable that the public would find out about the Skuru people sooner or later. In fact, the earlier they found out, the better it would be in countering the Skuru people.

What needed to be considered now was the timing of the announcement. Su Yu began to ponder with a frown.

Snow Leopard did not push, continuing to sip his Dew Wine while consuming half a dish of fennel beans in front of Su Yu.

After several minutes of contemplation, Su Yu exhaled deeply, “I believe it should be announced now!”

“Are you sure about that?” Snow Leopard’s eyes narrowed.

“I used to think that the best time to announce would be when 70% of the public have game helmets. At that point, with the helmets acting as psychological comfort, the social unrest would be greatly reduced.”

“But considering the current state of society, most people are still engaged with other games, enjoying other forms of entertainment. Most players in ‘Evolution’ are playing for fun, chatting, making friends, not focusing too much on the game. And then there are quite a few who are just flirting and exploiting. These people need to shift their focus to leveling up in the game.”

“Each day they level up, their chances of survival in the future increase.”

Snow Leopard nodded, “Your points make sense. The highest-level leadership basically has the same idea.”

“However,” Su Yu continued, “You must also manage the risks of social unrest.”

“Especially the top players in the game, like ‘A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated’ and ‘Frost Red Tea’, for example. We must avoid violent crimes arising from people trying to snatch their helmets. These top players are the pillars of our fight against the Skuru people in the future. Losing even one of them is a major loss for mankind.”

“Yes, we will consider that,” said Snow Leopard seriously. “We will prepare the public adequately for these changes. In highly risky areas, we will try to implement a curfew to manage the risks.”

“Alright, that’s all I have to say.” Su Yu finished the last few fennel beans, stood up, and waved his hand, “It’s getting late. I need to go do my mission.”

“Alright, I will pass your words on to Commissioner Zhang as soon as possible”, Snow Leopard responded solemnly.

After the conversation, Su Yu left the ‘House of Warm Wind’ tavern.

The game time was now in the early morning, and the chilly wind blowing on the street sent a bone-piercing cold through Su Yu.

In a short while, the highest leadership would announce to the world the existence of the Skuru people and the function of the game, ‘Evolution’.

By then, the reaction of the world was predictable.

“Hopefully, everyone’s reaction won’t be too intense,” Su Yu muttered, pulling the hood over his head and stepping into the Orleans City teleport array.
