Chapter 1404: I Just Want Money
Chapter 1404: I Just Want Money
However, considering the unique nature of the Ascension War, this could be acceptable, right?
Perhaps Su Yu was just the most prominent among them.
Bernard flew close to Su Yu and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder. The gentle, kind smile on his face conveyed his support. "For the next two to three years, go ahead and do your best!"
Bernard didn't understand the meaning of "patting on the shoulder," but the Blue Whale had suggested it as a gesture of encouragement from an elder to a junior.
He continued, "Once the Blue Whale truly upgrades, I will represent the Galactic Council to give you a reward! This is a tremendous contribution to the galaxy, and it deserves recognition!"
Hearing Bernard's words, many of the Stellar-level beings present showed envious expressions.
This kid, Su Yu, really has good luck! A reward from the Galactic Council! This time, he's really hit the jackpot!
"Reward? That's great!" Su Yu beamed.
"What do you want?" Bernard asked with a smile.
"Um..." Su Yu thought for a moment, then said sincerely, "I want Saint Silver Coins, as many as possible!"
"..." Bernard's smile froze on his face.
"???" The other Stellar-level beings also froze, staring at Su Yu with wide eyes.
Saint Silver Coins? They couldn't believe their ears.
Come on, this is a reward promised by the Galactic Council. The Galactic Council, in name, controls the resources of the entire galaxy, with countless high-level treasures at their disposal.
Su Yu could have asked for anything—high-level treasures, powerful psychokinetic artifacts, or even items to resolve his own inherent flaws (Su Yu's strength was forcibly elevated by the Holy Song, theoretically preventing further cultivation, which is his inherent flaw).
Everyone found it hard to believe.
If they were Su Yu, there would be so many things to ask for.
But Su Yu just wanted Saint Silver Coins? Saint Silver Coins? What a worthless thing! Who would care about Saint Silver Coins?
Everyone was speechless.
"Senator Su Yu," Soren, the bank president, held his forehead. "Can't you ask for something better?"
Su Yu replied seriously, "Saint Silver Coins are the best thing for me."
Soren: "..."
Chairman Lemore: "Su Yu, why do you have this inexplicable obsession with Saint Silver Coins? I remember you sold the 'Wings of Lelin' for Saint Silver Coins."
Su Yu scratched his head with an innocent look. "Hehe, because I'm just a country bumpkin with no grand ambitions. And I have many of my people to resurrect, so I really need the money."
"..." Everyone heard his words, but no one believed Su Yu's lies.
Although Su Yu looked innocent, anyone who believed him would be the real fool.
"Alright," Bernard waved his hand. "If you don't want to say, we won't force you.
Here's what I'll do: Once the Blue Whale upgrades, I'll convert your due reward into an equivalent amount of Saint Silver Coins. I hope Fig won't suffer from inflation because of this."
"Thank you, Lord Bernard!" Su Yu bowed in a mage's salute.
He then said, "I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, feel free to call me."
"Go ahead," Chairman Lemore waved his hand, looking exhausted.
...
After bidding farewell to the Stellar-level beings, Su Yu teleported away from Sector 1, returning to Sector 170 to reunite with his people.
Watching Su Yu leave, the Stellar-level beings of the Hub looked at each other in confusion.
"Ah, this Su Yu..." Soren, the bank president, shook his head, unsure what to say.
Chairman Lemore smiled bitterly at Bernard. "Lord Bernard, this is our Su Yu from the Hub."
"I see," Bernard nodded thoughtfully.
"However, everyone," the Gem Dragon Lucia suddenly said, "the sudden appearance of someone like this in our Hub, could it be a sign of something?"
She looked at Ashley.
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything," Ashley immediately shook her head. "I'm only a fifth-rank Stellar-level being, with shallow knowledge. Predicting the future is definitely inaccurate. If we really need a conclusion, we should consult a Nebula-level being."
"Nebula-level being?"
Everyone turned their gaze to Bernard.
Bernard was a Nebula-level being, but he seemed to specialize in something other than prophecy.
Facing everyone's gazes, Bernard smiled faintly. "Heh, who can truly predict the future?
However, we should give special attention to this Su Yu in the coming period. He might be targeted by rebel organizations, so we need to provide him with adequate protection."
He turned to Ashley and said solemnly, "Lady Ashley, the task of protecting Su Yu will temporarily be entrusted to you."
"Me?" Ashley was taken aback but didn't refuse. "Alright, I'll take care of it."
Protecting Su Yu was something Ashley was already familiar with. Su Yu still had a purple crystal that could summon her.
But once Su Yu left the Hub, it would be up to him.
