Chapter 1249: Su Yu's Demand — One Hundred Billion
Chapter 1249: Su Yu's Demand — One Hundred Billion
As soon as the words were spoken, before Luman could even make contact, the 3D projection of Commander Dalandor Mandle appeared before them.
Dalandor had been closely monitoring the bounty points all along.
Seeing the trend, he knew the Guardian Corps team wouldn't win the championship, so he rushed over immediately.
Upon arrival, he asked, "What's the situation with Su Yu's team, 'Nova Star'?"
"It's like this..." Luman didn't hesitate and gave Commander Dalandor a brief report.
He concluded, "From what we can see, our team has no chance of winning against Su Yu's team. We're considering whether to intervene."
"Hmm... Without a large number of external members, how did Su Yu's team manage to lead by such a wide margin?" Dalandor Mandle stroked the tentacles on his chin, deep in thought.
Luman and his assistant Bella exchanged a glance. They couldn't answer, and it was exactly what they wanted to know.
After a moment of contemplation, Dalandor looked at them and said, "Forget it, you two wait here. I'll go check on Su Yu and be back shortly."
With that, his projection vanished, leaving the office.
Luman and Bella could only continue to wait.
...
About half an hour later, Dalandor returned to the office.
Seeing the commander's projection reappear, Luman immediately felt relieved.
He hurriedly asked, "Commander, what did you find?"
Dalandor's projection solidified quickly in the office.
He didn't answer directly but smiled, "I went to observe Su Yu, and I ran into many old acquaintances in Sector 170. Lawrence and Andrew were there."
Hearing this, Luman and Bella's eyes widened.
Bella gasped, "Ah! Sir Lawrence and Sir Andrew are there too? I didn't expect Su Yu to attract so much attention from such high-profile figures!"
Dalandor's "Lawrence" referred to Acting Speaker Lawrence Merton, and "Andrew" referred to Andrew Soren, the head of the Central Galactic Bank, who had also sent a team to participate in the bounty hunt.
These two were genuine stellar-level figures!
The fact that Su Yu had caught the attention of so many stellar-level figures was a peak achievement for any ordinary cultivator!
Luman was also shocked that three such figures would go to observe Su Yu.
However, since eavesdropping wasn't a proud act, he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, did you come to any conclusions, Commander?"
"A few," Dalandor Mandle nodded. "From my observations, Su Yu seems to have an astonishing ability to predict."
"Predictive ability?"
"Yes. After reciting a few incantations, he can quickly determine the location of crimes and proceed to arrest the criminals. The entire process is as if guided by a divine force."
"My assessment is that he has a powerful predictive ability, and he relies on this to secure his lead."
"I see." Luman and Bella were enlightened.
So Su Yu was using a "predictive technique" to catch criminals.
And this predictive ability was truly extraordinary!
Even with three to four thousand external members, the Guardian Corps couldn't match Su Yu's predictive skills.
"Sir Grind, Sir Mandle," Bella interjected, "Su Yu's predictive technique is so powerful. Does our Galactic Hub have any similarly powerful predictive ability users? If so, we could hire them into our external member team and easily win first place, right?"
"..." Luman was stunned and didn't speak.
Dalandor was also taken aback, then he smiled wryly, "With the predictive ability Su Yu has shown, we do have someone stronger in the Galactic Hub, but we can't afford to hire them!"
"Can't afford to hire them?" Bella was puzzled. Who could be so powerful that even the Guardian Corps couldn't afford to hire them?
"Do you know Ashley, now known as 'Mystery'? Her predictive ability is just a bit stronger than Su Yu's."
"Sir... Sir Ashley?!" Bella was shocked by the commander's words. She couldn't believe her ears.
Ashley, also known as "Mystery", was one of the eight stellar-level figures in the Hub, specializing in divination, calculations, and predictions.
The disappearance of the Holy Hymn had a significant impact on Ashley.
In the past two months, the other stellar-level figures had been busy forming their own factions. After all, times had changed, and stellar-level figures needed to establish networks to consolidate their positions.
But Ashley hadn't. She remained a solitary figure, staying indoors and renaming herself "Mystery." When she did venture out, she would mutter incomprehensible incantations.
Despite this, she was undoubtedly the most powerful predictive ability user in the Hub, period.
Su Yu's predictive ability had reached Ashley's level? How could that be?
Bella was so shocked by the commander's words that her ears almost fell off!
Dalandor stroked his chin and said, "In a sense, Su Yu's predictive ability does match Ashley's. Ordinary planetary-level predictive ability users can't reach this level, and that's why he's leading."
"Commander, should we interfere with him?" Luman's expression turned serious. This Su Yu seemed to be a formidable opponent!
"Hmm..." Dalandor Mandle thought seriously.
Finally, he added, "Gryth, you can communicate with him more. Make specific judgments based on the specific situation."
"..." Travelman was stunned.
Does this mean we can interfere or not? Why is the legion commander's words so vague?
He wanted to ask more.
But Dalando added, "We want to bring Su Yu into our guard. His strength is worth it. I think making him the deputy chief of security isn't out of the question. You decide based on the specific situation!"
Before Travelman could ask, Dalando's projection disappeared from the office, leaving only Travelman and Bella facing each other.
"Uh, Commander's meaning is..." Bella tried to understand, "We don't need to interfere with Su Yu, do we let him take the lead?"
Travelman nodded slightly, "That's what I meant."
However, he added, "But if we don't interfere, can we really bring Su Yu over? I should contact him first, and then make a decision based on the contact's results."
After speaking, he took out the communicator.
...
Meanwhile, Su Yu received a call request from Travelman.
Seeing Travelman's name on the communicator, a faint smile appeared on Su Yu's lips.
Su Yu had previously known Dalando was eavesdropping nearby.
With the AI Blue Whale, even stellar-level eavesdropping was undetectable, but these stellar beings didn't know Su Yu had already gathered the information they were eavesdropping on.
In Su Yu's eyes, Dalando had just left, and his subordinate Travelman immediately called him. Just by guessing, Su Yu could roughly deduce the content of their conversation.
Thus, when Su Yu connected with Travelman, he opened the door and said directly, "100 billion."
"?? What did you say? 100 billion?" Travelman was puzzled.
"I mean, the first place is 100 billion. If you pay me 100 billion Holy Silver Coins, I'll hand over the first place to you. How about that?" Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Yu was quite pleased.
If Figur Guard was willing to pay 100 billion, he would not hesitate to hand over the first place.
Although the position of Deputy Chief of Security is a powerful 48th rank, and he had once considered joining the Figur government to get closer to the power center, this 48th rank position would require considerable effort.
However, before 100 billion, the 48th rank position was still a bit distant, and he was quite short on funds.
"Ah? 100 billion?" Travelman was surprised.
He didn't expect Su Yu to be so direct, and the price was indeed not low!
After all, he had lived in the Holy Silver Federation for over 67 years. Now, total resources he could muster were around 70 to 80 billion, and Su Yu's mouth was 100 billion!
Moreover, he thought, 100 billion for the position of Deputy Chief of Security wasn't particularly out of line, falling within a reasonable price range, right at the upper limit.
Thus, the stunned Travelman was deep in thought.
Seeing Travelman's lack of response, Su Yu seized the opportunity: "Commander Gryth, this is a valuable 48th rank position!"
And I also observed the situation between the Guard and the Lemor Mercenary Corps. The competition is fierce, to say the least.
"If you're willing to pay this, I can help your team while controlling the first place!"
"..." Travelman still didn't answer, still in thought.
Su Yu played his trump card: "If you refuse, I'll go to the Lemor Mercenary Corps. I'm lazy to contact them, and I have a good impression of Supervisor Gryth, so I prefer to do business with you. Opportunities don't wait, do they?"
"..." After hesitating for a moment, Travelman said, "This is beyond my decision... How about this: you wait a bit, I'll contact the legion commander and let him decide."
"Alright, do it quickly."
...
Ending the call with Travelman, Su Yu sighed in relief.
He instructed, AI Blue Whale, "Analyze the probability of the Guard agreeing to this deal."
The AI Blue Whale calculated such problems within milliseconds.
As soon as Su Yu's voice fell, it answered, "About 85.24%. If you can lower the price to 80 billion, the probability of their agreement rises to 96.1%."
"85%?" Su Yu nodded, "This probability is good. If they disagree, we can consider negotiating the price."
Morning Star was also delighted, "Great! Another extra income! 100 billion! I was still worrying about how to earn money."
"Haha." Su Yu reached out to rub Morning Star's little head, smiling, "When the ship reaches the bridge, things naturally fall into place. I never thought I would earn so much money."
He looked out the window, "Now, we just need to wait for the return call."
