The Imperial Palace is a landmark building that was newly unlocked after the capital city of Sakura reached level three in the safe zone.
It is not only a sacred site for worshipping the strongest ruler of a nation.
It is also open to the general public, becoming a hall for them to redeem generous battle merit rewards.
Both native citizens and foreign invaders have the opportunity to enter, but the things they can buy vary greatly.
During the fierce battle in Nuclear Island Prefecture, Su Yue was blessed with the title of "the mortal enemy of the Sakura Country," which caused his battle merits to increase by 50%.
For Su Yue, his battle merits have soared to an astonishing 1,163,000 points.
Even Luvi's battle merit points reached a considerable 120,000.
These achievements are not only a symbol of their honor, but also the best testament to their hard work and strength.
Su Yue and Lu Wei, due to their status as illegal intruders, were unable to make purchases in any shopping malls or auction houses in the Sakura Kingdom.
However, as the shadow of a major war drew ever closer, he realized the importance of improving his strength.
So Su Yue arrived at the only mall that was open exclusively to foreign invaders.
It's the same familiar recipe; Japan really has all the best things in Japan!
【Nuclear Island Salmon Sashimi】: Price: 50 Battle Points, Stock: 1000.
【Futushan Mineral Water】: Price: 50 Battle Points, Stock: 1000.
...
Su Yue scrolled directly to the bottom of the purchase page.
[Mythical Selection Chest]: Price: 500,000 Battle Points, Stock: 10. (Limit 1 per person)
[Sakura Kingdom Ruler (Fake)]: Price: 1,000,000 points, Stock: 1
Mythical Selection Chest!
With Su Yue's war merits, he could buy one and obtain either the Ten Famous Bows or the Sun-Shooting Set.
However, faced with this endless temptation, Su Yue's gaze remained as firm as ever.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly chose the most expensive and rarest one among them—"The Sakura Kingdom's Lord (Fake)".
"Ding!" A crisp notification sound rang out.
[Spent 800,000 merit points to successfully purchase "Sakura Kingdom Ruler (Fake)"!]
It's worth mentioning that the "Death Challenger" badge Su Yue wears on his chest enjoys a 20% discount within the Blue Star region.
He saved 200,000 merit points, which is worth more than 10,000 little bastards' heads!
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Su Yue's eyes. He knew this was more than just a simple purchase.
【Sakura Kingdom Ruler (Fake)】: Badge-type equipment. Does not occupy an equipment slot. A high-quality replica of the "Sakura Kingdom Ruler" badge.
Once worn, you will temporarily transform into the Queen of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, but please note that its effect is limited to 24 hours after wearing, after which it will automatically expire.
While wearing the badge, you will gain full control of the battlefield sandbox of the Sakura Kingdom's capital safe zone and be able to summon legendary warriors of the Sakura Kingdom to fight alongside you and jointly defend the peace of the capital.
Note: The badge will automatically become invalid if the wearer dies, leaves the protected area of the Sakura Kingdom capital, or if the real Sakura Kingdom ruler arrives in person.
Please use this power with caution. The glory and responsibility of the Sakura Kingdom's ruler will be temporarily entrusted to you.
Su Yue knew that, given the current pace of the apocalypse, no one could actually obtain the badge of the Sakura Kingdom's ruler.
Therefore, as long as Su Yue can remain firmly stationed in the capital, he will be able to enjoy the authority conferred by the title of "Sakura-no-King" for 24 hours.
[Ding! Successfully equipped "Sakura Kingdom Ruler (Fake)" and obtained the capital city safe zone battlefield sandbox!]
What followed was a battlefield sand table of the capital's safe zone, which appeared before Su Yue's eyes.
This sand table not only allowed Su Yue to observe the combat dynamics within the safe zone, but also provided a clear view of the movement of people within a kilometer radius outside the safe zone.
Even more noteworthy is the emergence of new purchase options on the model.
They symbolize the abundant resources that the ruler of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom can mobilize.
[Armed Bodyguard]: Price: 10,000 Battle Points, Stock: 100.
【Nuclear Island Fifty Death Squad】: Price: 30,000 Battle Points, Stock: 50.
[Ten Famous Generals of the Warring States Period]: Price: 200,000 War Merit Points, Stock: 10.
[Safe Zone Repair]: Price: 200,000 Battle Points, Inventory: 5.
[Defense Barrier]: Price: 500,000 Battle Points, Stock: 2.
Indeed, having these capable assistants is far wiser than fighting alone against the power of the entire nation.
Next, Su Yue used the sand table to carefully observe the city defense levels in various parts of the safe zone.
What is astonishing is the sheer sturdiness of the fortifications and city walls here, which are like impregnable fortresses.
Even by the standards of a Level 4 security zone, it would be difficult to achieve such a level of defense.
Even if several lord-level zombies launched an attack simultaneously, it would probably be difficult to shake the stability of this city.
I never imagined that such a small country like Japan could mobilize the entire nation's resources to create such a robust security zone for the capital.
However, all of this is about to become a thing of the past and cease to exist.
[Ding! Do you wish to choose to self-destruct the safe zone of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom's capital? Please consider your choice carefully!]
“Confirmed!” Su Yue nodded slightly and said firmly.
In a nation's dire straits, "destroying the capital" is often a tragic act by the ruler when the situation is beyond saving and he is unwilling to surrender.
Rather than surrendering our territory, we should leave our opponents with ruins.
The silence over the land of cherry blossoms was shattered by a shocking regional announcement.
[Ding! Japan Announcement!]
The Sakura Kingdom's ruler (Lone Wolf) has formally submitted a mad request to destroy the Sakura Kingdom's capital. This decision will be officially implemented in the next 24 hours.
[Warning: Once the capital city is destroyed, it will signify the complete fall of the Sakura Kingdom. All citizens will experience a 10-level drop, a 50% reduction in all attributes, and a 50% reduction in income!]
To prevent this catastrophic outcome, only by successfully eliminating the lone wolf can the fate of the Sakura Kingdom be saved!
