Chapter 1349: 1269, Free Guide Chapter 1349: 1269, Free Guide “You speak, I speak,” Su Yu and Simon Herag started a conversation like that.
This discussion went on for over three hours.
The reason it lasted so long was, firstly, they had nothing else to do besides chatting, and secondly, Su Yu wanted to learn more about the Fige Hub from Simon Herag.
However, Su Yu was somewhat disappointed, as the information provided by Simon was all available in the Holy Song Database.
Simon Herag claimed to be a resident of the Fige Hub, having lived there since his birth, for over a thousand years.
During these thousand years, he rarely visited other planets, and when he did, it was only for adventures, missions, or to earn some extra income.
Half a year ago, he took on a lucrative bounty mission, left the Fige Hub, and went to the designated planet to complete the task.
Over that half-year, he lost track of what exactly happened at the Fige Hub.
Only today, when the Saint Channel Company reopened interstellar transportation, did he seize the opportunity to return to the Fige Hub.
But he hadn't expected to be detained here just after arriving.
Su Yu expressed sympathy towards Simon Herag's situation, at least outwardly he showed compassion.
Yet, unfortunately, he didn't receive any particularly valuable information.
During this conversation, Simon Herag also learned a lot he wanted to know from Su Yu.
Su Yu didn't hide anything and briefly described the situation on Blue Star.
Hearing that Su Yu's planet had just won a “Civilization Ascension War,” Simon showed significant respect!
He said urgently, “I have heard of the 'Civilization Ascension' project. Many low-level civilizations skyrocket through this program from obscurity to high-level civilizations overnight. However, because of this, the 'Civilization Ascension' project is extremely bloody…”
Simon paused for a moment.
Then, he suddenly looked at Su Yu with bright eyes, “Since you've won the Civilization Ascension War, would you like to hire me as your guide? I am a member of the 'Fugue Nova' Adventure Group. I guarantee a fair price, I cheat neither old nor young!”
“Adventure Group” is a type of organization that has emerged in the Fige Hub over the past five or six hundred years, somewhat similar to the “Mercenary Corps” and “Guild” in Evo Game.
But unlike “Mercenary Corps” and “Guilds”, the leader of an “Adventure Group” cannot take any coercive measures against its members.
Actually, it is more like a “Club for Adventure Enthusiasts.”
As soon as an intriguing adventure is discovered, the leader of the “Adventure Group” organizes members to partake together, sharing the rewards according to their contributions.
After the adventure, everyone simply disperses, goes back to their homes, and finds their own families until the next adventure gathers them again.
There are no less than a million adventure groups in the Fige Hub, with the vast majority being very active.
Just then, Su Yu's earpiece buzzed with a prompt from AI Blue Whale, “The 'Fugue Nova' Adventure Group mentioned by Simon was established 50 years ago as a small-scale group.
Though small, due to its members' strong capabilities and high mission completion rate, it ranks 79th among all adventure groups in the Fige Hub, with a good reputation and no bad records.”
“Hmm.”
After hearing the prompt, Su Yu looked at Simon Herag and refused, “Sorry, I can't hire you.”
“Ah?” Simon Herag was stunned, “Why? Don't you need a guide?”
“Why would I need a guide?” Su Yu countered.
“Of course you need a guide!” Simon Herag insisted, “You've just won the Civilization Ascension War; you must have received a massive amount of compensation and resource support, right? I guess you must have plenty of Holy Silver Coins and want to come to Fige Hub to purchase technology to help your civilization develop.
Since you're so wealthy, you definitely need a good guide!
With a good guide like me helping you spend your money wisely, you can ensure that your money is spent where it's needed most and avoid unnecessary expenses!
I've lived in the Fige Hub for over a thousand years, no one knows the local customs better than me. If you could hire me as a guide…”
“I'm afraid that's not going to happen.” Su Yu interrupted him, “What if I told you, we didn't receive any compensation after winning the war, and I am penniless now, would you believe me?”
“Ah? No compensation?” Simon was stunned.
In the past, Simon would not have believed Su Yu. How could the Holy Song not provide compensation? The “Civilization Ascension” project was a key program for Holy Song.
But now… Simon thought for a moment.
Considering the Holy Song was out of contact… it really was possible!
If the Holy Song had lost communication, they certainly wouldn't send compensation to Su Yu, and other forces had no obligation to do so either.
So it seemed, Su Yu might really not have received any compensation!
“It seems your civilization really didn't get any compensation?” Simon Herag said sympathetically.
“Of course, why would I lie to you?” Su Yu said helplessly, describing the current situation on Blue Star again. Only a few creatures remain alive on Blue Star, with the vast majority having gone extinct.
Simon Herag's sympathy was quickly stirred by Su Yu's description.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, since you didn't receive any compensation, I'll also waive my fee! My friend, I am willing to be your guide for free, here's my contact information.”
Simon Herag tapped his bracelet against Su Yu's, and a string of numbers entered Su Yu's bracelet–that was his contact info.
“But I'm penniless right now,” Su Yu shrugged, “Because I'm penniless, I don't need guide services. I can't afford anything.
This time I came to the Fige Hub just to see the world and earn some Holy Silver Coins by relying on my own capabilities.”
“It's okay if you don't need guide services,” Simon Herag reassured, “I can provide consultation for free. After you arrive in the Fige Hub, you can inquire about anything you don't understand, and I will answer any questions I can.
As I said, I've lived in the Fige Hub for over a thousand years, no one knows this place better than I do!”
“Thank you so much!”
“You're welcome, just consider it making a new friend.”
As their conversation flourished, the room door suddenly opened.
“Simon Herag.” Another “Slime Guard” walked in through the door; this one wasn't the same as before, as this one had a darker complexion.
Its gaze sweeped across the faces of the three people in the room, finally resting on Simon Herag, “Our leader wants to see you, please come with me now.”
“Alright,” Simon Herag answered.
After so long, he finally got to meet the person in charge here.
As he stepped out of the room, he didn't forget to look back at Su Yu and say, “Then, my friend, we'll contact each other once I'm out!”
“Sure,” Su Yu waved goodbye.
Although Simon Herag was still a stranger to him, in this unfamiliar place, it was good to have someone to contact.
