Chapter 1375: 1286, Special Cultivation Technique Chapter 1375: 1286, Special Cultivation Technique Although he was inwardly astonished for reasons unknown, Journeyman * Gried did not show it on the surface.
He performed a traditional Holy Silver Man greeting to Su Yu and said, “Hello, friend. I am Journeyman * Gried, the Chief Supervisor of the Fige Guard.”
“Hello,” Su Yu returned the greeting calmly: “My name is Su Yu, from a native planet.”
“I already know what happened just now,” Journeyman * Gried said earnestly: “You were robbed by a group of people upon your arrival at the Fige Hub. Unfortunately, this group consists of officers from our Fig Guard.
As the Chief Supervisor, I represent the entire Fig Guard in offering an apology to you.”
“It's okay, I understand,” Su Yu waved his hand dismissively: “It's all the hymn's fault. Due to the absence of the hymn, the Fige Hub is now in chaos, which is why these petty criminals have the audacity to commit robbery.”
“Ah, you're telling me…” Journeyman * Gried turned and gazed at the nearby hymn tower, his eyes brimming with infinite sorrow.
It was all because of the hymn. How else could the Fige Hub have plummeted from heaven to hell? How many people had died these days!
Su Yu noticed Journeyman * Gried's expression and felt a slight jolt in his heart.
He had seen such a look before.
Those Fig residents who wept in front of the “hymn tower” all wore such desperately sad expressions. He hadn't expected that someone like Journeyman * Gried, a Planetary Level Ninth Rank, would look this way too.
He had originally thought that the more powerful entities would care less about the disappearance of the hymn.
…
However, Journeyman * Gried's sorrow did not last long.
A few seconds later, he turned back to Su Yu and covertly dabbed at the corners of his eyes: “I apologize for my lack of composure.”
“It's all right, I understand.”
“Let's get back to business,” Journeyman * Gried composed himself and continued: “Let's talk about your strength. You must be a Planetary Level Cultivator, right?”
“That's correct,” Su Yu answered calmly.
“Now your…”
Journeyman * Gried sized up Su Yu.
“My current state is due to my personal cultivation technique,” Su Yu fabricated: “My technique is very special; after releasing an excessive attack, my own strength will decrease by one rank.
But this decrease isn't necessarily a bad thing. When I recover to Planetary Level soon, I will become even stronger! So, I'm actually quite happy to see this decline in strength.”
“Is there such a technique?” Journeyman * Gried was somewhat incredulous.
In his view, Su Yu's demeanor appeared very much like a liar's, resembling an Eighth Rank Cultivator pretending to be Planetary Level.
But what benefit could there be in pretending to be at the Planetary Level?
“Being able to join the council” could be considered a benefit.
But then, regularly meeting colleagues while pretending to be Eighth Rank could easily give him away!
Moreover, nobody in the council would take his words seriously unless he demonstrated real Planetary Level strength.
…
Although Journeyman * Gried did not understand Su Yu's intentions, he still chose the most cautious response.
What if Su Yu really possessed a special technique?
So he replied with a smile: “Given the current situation at the Fige Hub, every Planetary Level entity is qualified to join the 'Fegel Council.'
The 'Fegel Council' is the largest power organization today. Since the hymn's disappearance, the council has taken over the operations of the entire Hub…”
Journeyman * Gried looked straight at Su Yu and said gravely: “Now, all Planetary Level Cultivators have already joined the Fegel Council. Are you also interested in becoming a member?”
Su Yu had anticipated Journeyman * Gried's invitation to join the council and had already prepared his response beforehand.
So he replied calmly: “I would be glad to join.”
But then he changed tack unexpectedly: “Although I am very pleased to join the council, I am currently in a state of decreased strength. It would be inconvenient to appear in the council as Eighth Rank.
How about this: wait two or three years until I have regained Planetary Level strength, and then I will join the council, does that sound good?”
“This… that would be perfect,” Journeyman * Gried answered.
Now Journeyman * Gried was thoroughly baffled; he couldn't make sense of Su Yu's logic.
Initially, he thought Su Yu was a fraud, just an Eighth Rank Cultivator impersonating a Planetary Level to achieve some unknown purpose.
But now it didn't seem like it.
Firstly, Su Yu truly released a Planetary Level attack; secondly, he agreed to join the council after recovering Planetary Level strength.
If he were a swindler, what benefit could there be in fabricating so many lies?
The answer was none.
So there was only one truth–Su Yu was not lying! The reason why he only showed the strength of Eighth Rank was indeed due to his cultivation technique!
“Maybe I'm overthinking it,” Journeyman * Gried thought to himself, feeling a headache.
Previously, he did not need to ponder so much. As long as Su Yu was a Milky Way Native, Journeyman * Gried could ask the hymn and obtain complete information on Su Yu, without having to guess whether Su Yu's words were true or false.
But now, without the hymn, he had to wrack his brain over these matters himself.
Journeyman * Gried could only smile and say: “Well then, when you recover to Planetary Level, I will invite you to join the council at that time.
Also, there's another matter–the group that robbed you is from our Fig military, and you can ask our military for compensation. As long as the compensation is within a reasonable range, we will agree.”
“Compensation, huh?” Su Yu touched his chin.
After pondering for a while, he replied: “If we're talking about compensation… I have submitted two applications to the Fegel Council, and I hope the military can help me get them approved.
Especially the compensation for the Civilization Ascension War; I hope my war-torn home planet can receive it sooner.”
“War compensation?” Journeyman * Gried also thought for a moment before responding: “I just looked over your two applications. This must be formally discussed at the council meeting. However, we will do our utmost to help you get the compensation.”
Journeyman * Gried had seen those two applications in Su Yu's records just earlier.
The application for criminal activity rewards was manageable, and getting the council's agreement was not too difficult;
but the application for war compensation was a different story, and the council was not guaranteed to agree to it.
However, since he had promised Su Yu, he would make an effort to help get the applications approved.
“Then I thank you!” Su Yu expressed his gratitude.
“You're welcome. Let's exchange contact information and touch base later,” Journeyman * Gried pulled out his wristband.
“Alright.” Su Yu also took out his own wristband and sent his contact information to Journeyman * Gried.
With that, they had formally established contact.
