Chapter 409: 408, 35 badges_1
The petite figure was, of course, Alyssa.

Based on the timing, she knew Su Yu would be returning at this moment. So, she put aside her official duties and actively came forward to greet Su Yu, to greet this hero of the Empire!

When still 200 meters away from Su Yu, Alyssa joyfully yelled at him: “Nemesis, you’re back!”

“Yes, I’m back.” Su Yu struggled to rise from the ground, saluting Alyssa: “The mission was successfully completed, and even exceeded by 120%!”

“Nemesis, well done!”

By the time they finished their conversation, she had already crossed the 200 meters and stood in front of Su Yu.

Alyssa happily looked at Su Yu’s face. Although Nemesis was not very dashing, he was unusually reliable!

She extended her arms, wanting to hug this hero of the Empire.

But at this moment, an unexpected thing happened:

When Alyssa rushed over, she wasn’t alone. The Cat Morning Star was standing on her shoulder.

Morning Star didn’t go to the Lai Yin Empire with Su Yu (after all, she only had one life and couldn’t risk it), but stayed with Alyssa at the Golden Chrysanthemum Royal Palace.

Just as Alyssa was about to hug Su Yu, Morning Star jumped down from her shoulder first and threw herself into Su Yu’s arms.

Su Yu quickly caught Morning Star.

Morning Star rubbed her chin on Su Yu’s chest, then lifted her adorable cat head to look at him: “Nemesis, how are you? Are you hurt?”

She had seen him lying on the ground from a distance earlier and was worried about his health.

“I’m fine, Morning Star.” Su Yu gently rubbed her head: “I just consumed a lot of magic power due to long distance teleportation, I will be fine after some rest.”

“That’s good then.” Morning Star breathed a sigh of relief, and jumped on Su Yu’s shoulder.

Alyssa, standing opposite to Su Yu, watched this scene: “…”

Something seemed wrong!

Wasn’t Morning Star too intimate with Su Yu?

Morning Star was her best girlfriend, initially, Alyssa gave Morning Star to Su Yu first, to accelerate her growth, and second, to prevent Tina and Su Yu’s relationship from heating up.

However, for some unknown reason, Tina took the initiative to distance herself from Su Yu, and the relationship between Morning Star and Su Yu was getting better and better… even abnormally better…

But this thought quickly disappeared from Alyssa’s mind.

What bad intentions could a small cat have?

Moreover, they were different races, she had nothing to worry about, right?

Alyssa put this thought in the back of her mind, stepped forward, and gave Su Yu a big hug, cheerfully saying: “Nemesis, exceeding by 120%, does that mean you brought back 60,000 tons of food?!”

“Of course.”

“Great!” Alyssa hugged his waist, pressing her face against Su Yu’s chest, her eyes curved like two crescent moons from smiling.

The problem that had been bothering her for two entire months was finally solved. Having a talented person like Su Yu was a blessing for the Empire!

“By the way, Alyssa, what reward are you going to give me? Can you tell me now?” Su Yu had always been curious about the mission reward and could not help but ask.

“Follow me!” Alyssa released from Su Yu’s embrace and winked at him: “You’ll find out when we get home!”

…

…

Golden Chrysanthemum City Center Square.

Long before Su Yu’s return, Alyssa had prepared a grand celebration for him.

The central celebration podium of the square was covered with red carpet. Bunches of flowers, collected spontaneously by the city residents, were placed on the carpet, turning the entire podium into a sea of flowers.

Beneath the podium, a large number of city residents and mission-arriving players were gathered, all waiting joyfully and anxiously.

Soon after, Alyssa and Su Yu descended from the sky hand-in-hand, landing on the podium.

There was a burst of enthusiastic cheers from below the podium. Everyone waved at Su Yu and their beloved Empress, expressing their love for the Empress, and their sincere respect for the returning hero.

“Hello everyone, I am Alice Jie Golden Chrysanthemum.” Alyssa stood on the celebration podium, confidently saying: “I have good news to tell you all. On Nemesis’s recent trip to the Lai Yin Empire, he has brought us a total of 60,000 tons of food. Enough to feed the 500,000 troops at the front for four and a half months! You no longer have to worry about our front-line soldiers dying of hunger!”

“Long live the Empress! Long live His Excellency Nemesis!” The joyful atmosphere in the crowd was ignited. The citizens shouted loudly at Su Yu and Alyssa.

There were also quite a few citizens who wept with joy.

Many of their children, relatives were also in the army, and upon hearing that the food supply on the front line was tight, they were quite worried. Now that the food problem was finally resolved, everything was finally back on track!

Alyssa sternly scanned her citizens gathered below the podium.

Then, she took a medal made of fine gold from her space ring, solemnly walked in front of Su Yu, and pinned it on his chest.

“Nemesis,” Alyssa said seriously, “This is the [Golden Chrysanthemum Military Merit Medal], thank you for your efforts in this war!”

Su Yu received the game prompt: “Ding, you have received the reward: Legendary Quality Jewelry [Golden Chrysanthemum Military Merit Medal] x1.”

Without turning to look at the medal’s attributes, he quickly replied respectfully, “Thank you, Your Majesty, this is all I should do.”

Seeing Su Yu being awarded the medal, the crowd below the podium erupted again, breaking into loud applause.

Even the players who were being used as tools even felt envious. This level of medal must be a powerful piece of jewelry, right?

But Alyssa didn’t stop there.

She gave a slight smile, took out a transparent pentagon medal made of Spiritual Energy Stone from her space ring: “This is the [Golden Chrysanthemum Star] Medal, specially awarded for your contribution in the national defense war a while ago! This medal was made during your absence, so I’m taking this opportunity to give it to you now!”

Alyssa seriously pinned this medal on Su Yu’s chest too.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Su Yu responded respectfully again.

Below the podium, another round of enthusiastic applause erupted.

Alyssa’s activity was still ongoing.

“This is the [Forest City Battle Medal], thanking you for busting the plot of the traitor Xi Fan!”

“This is the [Haiyan City Military Action Cross Medal], thanking you for leading the Imperial Army in a march of a thousand miles and overthrowing the base camp of the enemy forces of the Xi’er Federation! This is also a makeup award.”

“This is the [Golden Chrysanthemum Empress Coronation Commemoration Medal]…”

“This is the [Orleans City Battle Medal]…”

Alyssa continuously took out various medals from her space ring and pinned them onto Su Yu’s chest.

Within just a few minutes, she had awarded Su Yu a total of 35 medals, badges, and commemorative medals! So many were hung that they covered Su Yu’s entire upper body. Different material badges collided, making a jingling sound.

Su Yu was completely stunned now.

No wonder Alyssa said, “The reward would be something he could never guess.”

Who would have thought of such a large number of badges all at once!
