Chapter 347: 347,300 tons of Gold_1
“Su Yu, you…” Xue Wenli was about to ask if Su Yu had such abilities.
Just then, Nemesis suddenly jumped out of its pet space and landed on Su Yu’s shoulder.
It looked up at a sign on a nearby shop, its eyes twinkling with stars.
“Nemesis, Nemesis!” Nemesis scraped at Su Yu’s shoulder with its paw, “Look, there’s a grilled fish shop over there!”
Following Nemesis’s gaze, Su Yu indeed saw a barbecue shop in their vicinity, where a robot waiter was serving two Caucasian foreigners.
“Nemesis, you can go by yourself.” Su Yu reached out to scratch Nemesis’s chin, “There are lots of other delicious things on this street. You can play here for a while, I’ll be back for you.”
“What, you’re not coming with me?” Nemesis was taken aback.
It didn’t want to leave Nemesis, in this unfamiliar world, it wanted to be as close to Nemesis as possible.
Su Yu explained, “I’m going to get precious metals with Xue Wenli, which will be of great use when we go to Skru Star later. You wait for me here and we’ll come back after we get the precious metals.”
“Well…ok.” After thinking about it, Nemesis nodded.
Obviously, the temptation of food was stronger.
It jumped down from Su Yu’s shoulder and transformed into a human form. A cute cat maid appeared before Su Yu.
Seeing this, people on the street were shocked.
First, the transformation to a human form, then a cute cat speaking human language, and then the cat jumped to the ground and turned into a cat maid… What kind of anime scenario was this?
Many bystanders pinched their own arms, thinking that they must be dreaming.
Nemesis didn’t care about these people.
After changing into a human, it took out its phone and cheerfully ran to the barbecue shop.
While running, it shouted loudly, “Boss, how do you price your grilled fish?”
“Honored guest, a string of fish is 30 yuan, three for 100 yuan,” the robot waiter politely said.
“Give me ten skewers first!”
“EPlease wait, ten skewers will total 400 yuan.”
“Alright!” Nemesis happily paid by scanning the code on its phone.
Then it saw the two foreign men in the shop and suddenly remembered what Su Yu had told it.
So it conjured a fireball in its right hand and ran towards the foreigners holding the fireball, “Allah Akbar!”
“What the fxxk!” The two foreigners were scared out of their wits. One staggered towards the shop entrance, the other crawled under a table in embarrassment.
The whole barbecue place was in chaos.
The “good thing” that Nemesis did was all seen by Su Yu.
However, he didn’t say anything, just smiled slightly, then reached out his arm to wrap around Xue Wenli’s waist.
“Huh? What are you doing?” Xue Wenli was very surprised by Su Yu’s “sudden attack”.
It was the first time she had been so close to Su Yu. Given their “comradeship” these past days, unusual feelings began to sprout in her heart.
“Of course, I’m going to get precious metals!” Su Yu, holding Xue Wenli at the waist, flew high up, completely ignoring the stares of bystanders, and flew toward the northern suburb of the Imperial Capital.
During the flight, Su Yu did not hide his form. Couple with his low flying altitude, many passerby saw him in the sky and raised their phones to take pictures.
Su Yu did not care about these bystanders.
Sooner or later, the people of the Imperial Capital would get used to the scene of “high-ranking powerhouses flying in the sky”. He was just warming them up, so he didn’t care if people saw him.
However, Xue Wenli, like the two foreigners earlier, was scared witless.
Su Yu took her into the sky. Looking around at the empty surroundings, the normally not acrophobic her felt a touch of vertigo.
Xue Wenli didn’t care about appearances anymore, she clung to Su Yu’s body like an octopus, afraid that she would fall.
Through the clothes, Su Yu could feel her rapid heartbeat.
“Keep calm!” Su Yu shook his head helplessly: “You don’t need to hold me so tight. Are you afraid I’ll drop you?… But having said that, where is the ‘northern suburban warehouse’ you’re talking about?”
“It’s between Jian Pavilion Bridge and Shangqing Bridge.” Xue Wenli’s voice trembled slightly.
Even though she knew Su Yu would definitely not lose his grip and let her fall, human instinct drove her to hug Su Yu tightly and refuse to let go.
“Oh.” Su Yu took out his phone and searched for it on the navigation app, then couldn’t help but curl his lips: “Can the fifth ring road be considered ‘northern suburb’? Are you still living in the Qing Dynasty?”
But they had already arrived at their destination as they were talking.
Su Yu quickly descended to the ground and put Xue Wenli down.
After Xue Wenli’s feet touched the hard ground, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.
But suddenly, Xue Wenli seemed to realize something. Did Su Yu… did he want to take advantage of her?
Su Yu can [Group Teleportation Skill], he clearly could have teleported her here.
But he didn’t, he chose to fly.
Flying inevitably resulted in the close contact of the two bodies, Su Yu must have done this deliberately to take advantage of her, right? Does he like her?
Xue Wenli stood cautiously a bit further from Su Yu, regaining her usual aloofness: “The warehouse is nearby, follow me.”
“Then you lead the way.” Su Yu, unaware of Xue Wenli’s strange thoughts, shrugged his shoulders and followed her towards their destination.
…
Before long, they arrived at a tightly guarded warehouse door.
After entering the complex password and passing through several identification checkpoints, they entered the warehouse.
On both sides of the warehouse, stacks of gold bricks and silver bricks were neatly placed on the shelves, and the unique smell of precious metals filled the air.
Xue Wenli explained, “Nemesis, the state has prepared 300 tons of gold, 3000 tons of silver, and 30 tons of platinum for your mission this time. Is that enough for the three of you?”
“This much… is completely sufficient.” Su Yu nodded.
Of course, the most valuable thing on Skru Star was spiritual energy, but apart from spiritual energy, gold, silver, platinum and other precious metals also held high value. Many parts in Skru ships require these metals for manufacturing.
As for diamonds…they really weren’t valuable on Skru Star. Apart from setting them on fire for heat, they were of no use at all.
“Don’t think it’s small, Su Yu, this is already one-tenth of the state’s reserves of precious metals.”
Xue Wenli caressed the huge gold brick beside her. It was the first time she had come into contact with such a large gold brick: “If you bring back enough spoils from Skru Star this time, those above will definitely approve more precious metals for you to take to Skru Star for trade.”
“No need.” Su Yu waved his hand nonchalantly: “This is already a lot. If the amount is larger, the people of Skru might become suspicious.”
He put his hand on the shelf full of gold, “Can I pack it now?”
“Anytime.” Xue Wenli nodded.
“Alright then.”
Su Yu picked up the shelf with one hand and expanded the opening of [Gold Sparrow Interfacial Chain] to its maximum, then threw the whole shelf into it along with the precious metals.
