Chapter 1487: 1375, 5 trillion?!

Su Yu’s last sentence came from the heart; Blue Star really lacks money lately.

Just now, he was wondering how to make money, and here comes the solution?

Selling AI Blue Whale would definitely fetch a lot of money, maybe even tens or hundreds of billions wouldn’t be too much.

Moreover, selling the Blue Whale to the hub means once he’s strong enough to control the hub, AI Blue Whale would still be his, right? No loss at all.

...

"Hmm..." Acting Speaker Lemo pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I believe Su Yu’s idea is feasible; it’s all gain and no loss for the hub."

He turned to Legion Commander Daland, "Your Excellency, what do you think?"

Commander Daland considered and replied, "I think it’s feasible too."

Daland’s gaze shifted to the audience below, calling out by name, "Councilor Jared, does your team have the capability to carry out this task?"

In the audience, a red-skinned councilor with a brain resembling an octopus stepped forward.

This councilor is Jared, fully named Jared Lunsutas.

Jared Lunsutas is the hub’s top scientist, Planet-level Rank 4, and his team has progressed the farthest in AI manufacturing fields.

In the AI domain, he even has more say than those at the Stellar Level.

Jared is a mixed-blood member of the Human Race. Currently, he’s deep in thought, his red octopus-like brain flickering with a faint red light.

After a moment, he looked up and answered earnestly, "My team can complete this task, after all, it’s just a Level 4 AI. If it were a top AI like a hymn, I’d be out of my depth, but a Level 4 AI should pose no major issues."

"This concerns the security of the hub," Daland emphasized. "If there’s an issue with the AI that we fail to detect, and a rebel organization attacks, our losses could even surpass Lunya’s!"

"But ultimately, it’s just a Level 4 AI." Jared shrugged, "We can’t manufacture it just yet, but researching it won’t be a problem.

Leave it to us, I believe we can handle it.

Even if we truly can’t manage, it would still greatly benefit the process of creating a new AI."

Upon Jared’s words, the surrounding Planet-level councilors were intrigued.

They quietly discussed with their neighbors:

"I think Jared’s words are credible!"

"It’s just a Level 4 AI, after all. Doesn’t everyone overestimate it? Previously, a Level 4 AI wouldn’t even be noteworthy, how could it be beyond research?"

"Even assuming it can’t be fully understood, there’s no harm in research."

"I think we can do it."

...

Coincidentally, Stone Man Retdoz was seated beside Jared, and upon hearing this, he immediately perked up!

"Whoa, the Commander has such a strategy!" it thought internally, "The Commander surely acquired this Level 4 AI by chance, but instead of donating it directly to the hub, he wants to make some money through a side deal!"

Retdoz finally understood the Commander’s thinking.

Simultaneously, he felt remorse for his earlier doubts.

How could he doubt that Su Yu wasn’t the Commander’s side deal? He truly felt as dull as his fellow tribe members just now!

In the live broadcast channel, the number of simultaneous viewers has now reached 63.4 billion, setting a historical record!

The public discussion area is even more explosive, unable to handle the influx, putting everyone at a loss for words.

At the Blue Star Adventure Group Headquarters, Zhong Feng and other high-level cultivators from Blue Star also brightened up, immensely invigorated!

There’s no doubt that AI Blue Whale can fetch a lot of money.

With this approach, the initial funds for Blue Star’s agriculture ventures would be secured, something they were just worried about!

Returning to the council hall, seeing everyone’s interest, Acting Speaker Lemo solemnly said, "Since that’s the case, let’s proceed with a round of voting. Click in favor to agree with Su Yu’s proposal, or click oppose if not."

Virtual panels popped up in front of the councilors, displaying detailed descriptions of the current agenda and voting options.

The councilors didn’t need much time to hesitate and cast their choices.

"Ding!" Around 10 seconds after the voting started, a crisp ding was heard on-site.

This "ding" sound is the prompt indicating the end of voting.

According to council rules, when the number of affirmative or opposing votes exceeds 70% of the present councilors’ total votes, the voting automatically ends.

This time, it took only 10 seconds for the voting to conclude, indicating the councilors’ opinions were quite unified.

Moreover, the results were apparent immediately when the voting outcome was displayed on the hall’s ceiling—70% in favor, 3% against, marking the end of this voting round.

"Alright, the first round of voting has concluded," Acting Speaker Lemo announced, "Congratulations, Su Yu, the council has approved your proposal and agreed to engage in the transaction."

"As expected." Su Yu shrugged expressionlessly.

Truth be told, his proposal was all gain and no loss for the hub. If it didn’t pass, everyone truly would have lost their minds!

"Well, with the first round of voting passed, next we’ll discuss the specific price for AI Blue Whale."

Acting Speaker Lemo turned to Su Yu, "Your Excellency Su Yu, how much do you want to sell it for?"

"Hmm..." Su Yu rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment, then replied, "I think... 5 trillion."

"How... how much?!" Lemo was startled, taking a sharp breath.

The councilors below and the live stream audience were all stunned.

What, 5 trillion?! Are you sure it’s 5... trillion?!

This is a bit too audacious!

The councilors and audience were extremely shocked.

In the Fegg Hub, Eighth Rank Cultivators are considered a backbone, and their average assets are only about a billion;

Within the Planet-level hub, there are only 873 individuals, with average assets around 10 billion.

As for Su Yu, he asked for 5 trillion right off the bat! 5... trillion! Equivalent to 500 times the average assets of a Planet-level, possibly more than half of the combined assets of the Planet-level individuals present.

How did he come up with such a high offer?
