Chapter 1209: Vige Delicacies
After Simon Helag left, the room was left with only Su Yu and the lizard creature. The lizard creature had remained silent throughout, as its strength was far below that of Su Yu and Simon, leaving it no chance to join in their conversation. Su Yu had no intention of engaging with it either. It was just a seventh-rank being, and he doubted they would ever cross paths again once it left this place. There was no point in communication.
The wait that followed was long and tedious. Three hours later, the lizard creature was called away by a "Slime Guard," leaving Su Yu alone in the room. However, before the lizard creature was taken away, the "Slime Guard" brought Su Yu a meal. It was a brown, block-like solid, which the guard claimed was a common food among the Saint Silver people. Since Su Yu was also human, he could try it. The guard said it was a small gesture of apology for keeping him confined for so long.
Initially, Su Yu had no interest in the brown block. He didn't need to eat; ever since he ascended to the sixth rank, he could absorb spiritual energy to meet all his bodily needs. Additionally, he had a large supply of food in his spatial necklace, enough to last an adult for a year. There was no need to touch the "Slime Guard's" offering.
However, after having the AI Blue Whale analyze the food, Su Yu discovered that it was indeed edible. It was a snack made from a spiritual energy fruit, rich in high-purity, high-quality energy. According to the data, the Saint Silver people were very fond of this fruit, finding it exceptionally delicious.
After considering the information, Su Yu decided to give it a try. Tasting alien delicacies was an essential part of exploring new worlds. If he refused to try anything, he would miss out on much of the adventure.
"Morning Star, come out and try this delicious food," Su Yu called out, not wanting to eat alone.
"Hmm? Have we arrived?" Morning Star leaped from the pet space onto the ice floor of the room, stretching lazily.
She had been sleeping until now.
"We've arrived, but we're still under confinement," Su Yu explained, recounting the events that had transpired.
He then placed the alien food in front of Morning Star. "Here, this is a delicacy the guards sent over. I didn't want to enjoy it alone, so I called you out to share. Isn't that considerate of me?"
"An alien delicacy?" Morning Star's whiskers twitched as she eyed the brown block. She was more curious about alien foods than Su Yu, especially since one of her goals was to find new and tasty fish in the Vige Hub.
But looking at the block, she hesitated. Could this really be edible? Was Su Yu trying to trick her?
Fortunately, Morning Star could also communicate with AI Blue Whale.
"Blue Whale, can I eat this?"
"Of course, High-Privilege User Morning Star."
"Will I like it?"
"It should suit your taste."
"Give me the specific components of this food."
"Sure..."
After reviewing the detailed composition, Morning Star nodded, feeling reassured. She took a small bite, closed her eyes, and savored it.
"How is it?" Su Yu asked, touching her gently after a while.
"It's good, actually," Morning Star opened her eyes, her whiskers curling as she commented, "It's a bit like chocolate from your planet, but much better."
"Good to hear."
With Morning Star's approval, Su Yu felt more at ease. He picked up a piece and placed it in his mouth, savoring it slowly.
Upon tasting it, Su Yu found it to be excellent indeed!
Just as Morning Star had said, the brown solid had a chocolatey flavor. But in terms of actual deliciousness, it far surpassed chocolate!
No wonder it was a favorite among the Saint Silver people; it truly was exceptional!
Su Yu and Morning Star took turns, finishing off the delicious treat on the plate.
...
"Burp!" After savoring the food, Morning Star let out a contented belch.
She tilted her head and looked at Su Yu. "Counter, what do you plan to do once we're out?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and shook his head. "I haven't decided yet."
"Then you need to earn more money! Once you do, bring me a taste of the delicacies from the Fig Hub!"
"Sure, I will." Su Yu smiled and gently rubbed Morning Star's head.
Earning money quickly wasn't too difficult.
Su Yu had the bodies of Dalak and the divine-grade Dark Thunder Dragon, as well as a plethora of treasures from the game. Selling any one of these would fetch a significant amount of Saint Silver Coins.
However, earning money was only one aspect. Su Yu was also considering whether to seize this opportunity to integrate into the Fig Hub society.
The social order in the Fig Hub was currently in disarray.
It was a well-known fact that chaos often provided the best opportunities for rising to prominence. Heroes emerge in times of turmoil!
Before he could think further, the room's door opened again.
Another "Slime Guard" shuffled in, its steps heavy.
It looked at Su Yu and said, "Greetings, Human powerhouse. Please follow me."
"So soon?" Su Yu stood up from the floor.
Simon Helag and the lizard creature had been called out after a gap of over three hours, while he had only been eating for a few minutes.
"Yes, you're next," the Slime Guard replied politely. "Recently, due to the Saintcom Corporation opening up interstellar teleportation services, many powerful beings have returned to the Fig Hub. We apologize for the wait."
"It's fine. Lead the way."
Su Yu stored Morning Star in his pet space and followed the Slime Guard out of the room.
...
Outside, the corridor was long and narrow. They walked in the opposite direction from when they arrived, heading toward another room.
After about ten minutes, they reached a different room.
This room appeared to be the official interrogation chamber.
It was twice the size of the room Su Yu had been in earlier.
As he entered, he saw a large black desk. A blue-skinned Saint Silver woman, dressed in a white uniform, sat upright, her gaze fixed on him.
Two Slime Guards stood on either side of her, their expressions stern. Their energy rifles were fully charged, ready to fire at any moment.
At the same time, Su Yu received a prompt from the AI Blue Whale: "The attire of this Saint Silver woman is the standard uniform of the Fig Guard. If her identity is genuine, she is likely a junior officer in the Fig Guard.
Her strength is at the lower tier of the 8th stage. She is quite young and has a lot of potential for advancement and rank promotion."
Su Yu could hear the AI Blue Whale's words, but the Saint Silver officer and the Slime Guards could not.
Seeing Su Yu enter, the Saint Silver female officer stood up and made a "hello" gesture, smiling faintly. "I am a 2nd Class Administrative Officer of the Fig Guard, Glenwy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Human powerhouse."
