Chapter 1335: Travelman Grind's Invitation
Chapter 1335: Travelman Grind's Invitation
After seeing Raitodos off, the two of them chatted a bit more about the items on the second list.
Besides interstellar spaceships, the list included planetary-level robes, various potions to enhance strength, magical artifacts, and practical gadgets from the tech side.
"500... 600... Brother Su Yu, all these items must add up to over 60 billion Psychic Coins, right?" Raitodos whistled in amazement.
The items on the list were all top-tier, with prices that were exorbitant. Many cultivators who had broken through to the planetary level after a thousand or two thousand years might not even be willing to spend that much.
"Alright, I'll take all of them," Su Yu said with a generous tone.
Raitodos: "Having money is truly great. [Stone Person Envy Face]"
Su Yu: "But remember to keep it confidential, both the coordinates of the ruins and the list."
Raitodos: "Don't worry about that! I have the tightest lips. [Stone Person Chest-Patting Face]"
Su Yu: "Alright, let's end here. Go prepare."
Raitodos: "Sure, talk to you later."
...
After finishing his conversation with Raitodos, Su Yu finally turned his attention to the last person who had sent him a message.
He and Raitodos had been talking for quite a while, and this person had been waiting for a long time.
Returning to the message interface, Su Yu realized that the last person was none other than his direct superior, Travelman Grind.
Travelman Grind: "Lord Su Yu, congratulations on AI Blue Whale passing the test!"
This message had been sent over ten minutes ago, and five minutes ago, he had sent another: "I have something to discuss with you. Please reply when you receive this."
Seeing this, Su Yu quickly replied: "Congratulations to you too! Minister, what do you need?"
Travelman Grind: "Looks like you're pretty busy? It took you a while to reply. [Laugh]"
Su Yu: "Haha, yeah, I was pretty busy. I was just discussing a purchasing plan with Raitodos."
Travelman Grind: "I understand. If I had that much money, I'd be going on a shopping spree too. Tsk tsk, 4.2 trillion, truly enviable!"
Su Yu: "Haha, Minister, what do you need?"
Travelman Grind: "First, I want to thank you on behalf of the entire Security Department! After the AI Blue Whale was implemented, the hub's previously complex security issues were immediately resolved."
Su Yu: "No need to thank me. The hub spent 4.2 trillion. If it didn't work, what would be the point of spending that much?"
Su Yu: "But as a member of the Security Department, I'm very happy to contribute to the hub's security."
Su Yu: "In the future, I will definitely assist the AI department to quickly spread Blue Whale and serve everyone! [Stone Person Salute Face]"
Travelman Grind: "I'm glad to hear that."
Travelman Grind: "But speaking of which, shouldn't you come and report to the Security Department?"
Su Yu: "Report?"
Travelman Grind: "Yes, you are the Deputy Minister of the Security Department, a 48th-level official. You haven't come to take up your position since the department was formed. That's not appropriate, is it?"
Su Yu: "This..."
Travelman Grind's invitation put him in a difficult position. He hadn't thought about reporting to the Security Department, especially not now.
To be honest, two years ago, the position of Deputy Minister of the Security Department would have been very attractive to him.
But now... a mere 48th-level official? Even a 49th-level official, let alone the Minister of the Security Department, wouldn't be much of a draw. Besides, there was no real benefit to it. What would he earn working for the hub government?
Most importantly, he had to buy a food factory, practice cultivation techniques, and complete the main quest. He was busy and didn't have the time to report to the department.
So Su Yu declined: "Uh, never mind, I won't go. I have a lot of important things to do and was planning to ask for a long leave."
Travelman Grind: "Important things? What important things?"
Su Yu: "Specifically, buying a food factory and exploring ruins... [Omitted 200 words]..."
Su Yu briefly explained what he needed to do.
He added: "I've already started preparing to explore the ruins. I was just having Raitodos help me buy equipment, potions, and various enhancement items. I really don't have the time to report to the department."
Thinking this, Su Yu believed that Travelman Grind would take the hint and stop inviting him to the Security Department.
But to his surprise, Travelman Grind replied: "But these tasks don't prevent you from reporting to the department, right?"
Travelman Grind: "You can have your deputy handle the food factory purchase. You wouldn't need to do it yourself, would you?
As for exploring the ruins, Raitodos won't be able to get all the enhancement items you need in a day. At least you can come to the department today."
Su Yu: "[Stone Person Crouching in the Corner Face]"
Travelman Grind: "Do you also like using these emojis? Did you catch it from Raitodos?"
Travelman Grind: "Come over. The deployment of AI Blue Whale needs your help, and it will be the department's main focus for the next while."
Travelman Grind: "And if you come now, I'll give you a special mystery gift!"
Su Yu: "Mystery gift? What is it?"
Travelman Grind: "It wouldn't be a mystery if I told you. Let's just say you won't regret coming. [Laugh]"
Travelman Grind: "Come over, I'll be waiting at the department headquarters."
Su Yu: "..."
He really hadn't planned to report to the Security Department, even if he had nothing else to do.
But the "mystery gift" Travelman Grind mentioned piqued his interest.
"Blue Whale," Su Yu immediately instructed, "Analyze what the 'mystery gift' might be."
"Sorry, Administrator Su Yu, I can't analyze it," AI Blue Whale quickly replied. "I haven't been fully deployed in the hub yet, so I can't monitor the actions of top-tier cultivators. Travelman Grind's star sector is a blind spot for me."
"Guess there's no way around it," Su Yu sighed.
"Alright, I'll report to the department," he replied to Minister Travelman. "See you soon!"
