Chapter 237: 300 Tons of Gold
Chapter 237: 300 Tons of Gold
"Su Yu, you—" Xue Wenli was about to ask if Su Yu had the ability to do something.
But at that moment, Chenxing suddenly jumped out of the pet space and landed on Su Yu's shoulder. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at a sign nearby.
"Kesheng, Kesheng!" Chenxing pawed at Su Yu's shoulder. "Look, there's a grilled fish restaurant over there!"
Following Chenxing's gaze, Su Yu saw a barbecue restaurant just a short distance away. Inside, a robot waiter was serving two white foreigners.
"Chenxing, go on your own," Su Yu scratched under Chenxing's chin. "There are many delicious things on this street besides barbecue. You can stay and play here, I'll come back for you later."
"
"What? You're not coming with me?" Chenxing was taken aback. She didn't want to leave Kesheng. In this unfamiliar world, she wanted to stay as close to him as possible.
Su Yu explained, "I need to go with Xue Wenli to get precious metals. These metals will be very useful when we go to the Skrull planet. Wait for me here, and we'll come back after we get the metals."
"Alright then," Chenxing thought for a moment and nodded. Clearly, the allure of delicious food was stronger.
She leaped from Su Yu's shoulder and transformed into her human form. A cute maid catgirl appeared in front of Su Yu.
The passersby on the street nearly fell over in shock. First, a person appeared out of nowhere, then a cute little cat spoke, and finally, the cat jumped to the ground and transformed into a catgirl. What kind of anime scenario was this?
Many people pinched themselves, thinking they must be dreaming.
Chenxing ignored the shocked onlookers. After transforming into her human form, she took out her phone and ran excitedly toward the barbecue restaurant.
As she ran, she shouted, "Boss, how much is your grilled fish?"
"Respected customer, 30 yuan per skewer, 100 yuan for three skewers," the robot waiter politely replied.
"Give me 10 skewers first!"
"Please wait, 10 skewers will be 400 yuan."
"Alright!" Chenxing happily paid with her phone.
At that moment, she saw the two white foreigners in the restaurant and remembered what Su Yu had told her.
So she formed a fireball in her right hand and ran toward the two foreigners, shouting, "Allahu Akbar!"
"What the fk!" The two foreigners were terrified. One stumbled toward the door, while the other awkwardly dove under the table.
The entire barbecue restaurant was in chaos.
Su Yu saw everything Chenxing did, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and then wrapped his arm around Xue Wenli's waist.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Xue Wenli was taken aback by Su Yu's sudden move.
This was the first time she was so close to Su Yu, and the camaraderie they had built while fighting ghosts together made her heart flutter with strange.
.
"Of course, we're going to get the precious metals!" Su Yu lifted Xue Wenli and flew high into the sky, completely ignoring the stares of the onlookers as they headed toward the northern suburbs of the capital.
During the flight, Su Yu didn't hide his presence. Since he wasn't flying too high, many people saw him and started taking photos with their phones.
Su Yu paid no attention to them. The people of the capital would eventually get used to seeing high-level warriors flying around. For now, he was just giving them a preview.
But at that moment, Xue Wenli was just as scared as the two foreigners had been earlier.
As Su Yu carried her through the sky, the vast emptiness below made her, who had never had a fear of heights, start to feel a bit queasy.
Xue Wenli no longer cared about her appearance, wrapping herself around Su Yu like an octopus, terrified of falling.
Through her clothes, Su Yu could feel her heart pounding wildly.
"Calm down!" Su Yu shook his head helplessly. "You don't need to cling so tightly. Do you really think I'd drop you? By the way, where is that 'North Suburb Warehouse' you mentioned?"
"It's between Jian Ting Bridge and Shang Qing Bridge," Xue Wenli's voice trembled slightly.
Although she knew Su Yu wouldn't let her fall, her human instincts still compelled her to hold on tight, refusing to let go.
"Ah." Su Yu took out his phone and searched the location on the navigation app, then he smirked. "Is the Fifth Ring Road still considered the 'North Suburb'? You're living in the of Qing China,?"
"
However, by the time they finished talking, they had already reached their destination.
Su Yu quickly landed on the ground and gently set Xue Wenli down.
Once her feet touched the solid ground, Xue Wenli let out a long sigh of relief.
But then, she suddenly realized something. Was Su Yu taking advantage of her? He knew the Group Teleportation spell and could have easily teleported them here. Instead, he chose to fly, which meant their bodies had to be in close contact. Was he deliberately doing this to take advantage of her? Could he possibly like her?
Xue Wenli cautiously stepped back, regaining her usual cold and distant demeanor. "The warehouse is nearby. Follow me."
"Lead the way," Su Yu, oblivious to Xue Wenli's suspicions, shrugged and followed her toward their destination.
...
Before long, they arrived at a heavily guarded warehouse.
After entering a complex password and passing through several identity verification checkpoints, they entered the warehouse.
On both sides of the warehouse, stacks of gold and silver bars were neatly arranged on the shelves, filling the air with the unique scent of precious metals.
Xue Wenli explained, "Kexing, for this mission, the state has prepared 300 tons of gold, 600 tons of silver, and 30 tons of platinum for you. This should be more than enough for the three of you, right?"
"This amount is more than sufficient," Su Yu nodded.
On Skrull, the most valuable resource is psychic energy, but gold, silver, and platinum are also highly prized. Many components of Skrull spacecraft require these metals.
As for diamonds, they are practically worthless on Skrull, useful only for lighting fires.
"Su Yu, don't think it's too little. Just for the gold, this is already one-tenth of the nation's gold reserves," Xue Wenli said, running her hand over a massive gold bar. She had never seen such a large gold bar before.
"If you bring back enough spoils from Skrull, the higher-ups will definitely allocate more precious metals for you to trade."
"No need," Su Yu waved his hand indifferently. "This is already more than enough. If we take any more, the Skrulls might start to suspect something."
He placed his hand on the shelf filled with gold. "Can I start loading now?"
"Whenever you're ready," Xue Wenli nodded.
"Alright then."
Su Yu lifted the shelf with one hand, opened the Golden Fleur-de-lis Planar Chain to its maximum capacity, and tossed the shelf and its gold bars inside.
