Chapter 1576: 1464, The Bigwigs at the Hub Seeking Accountability

Three hours later, Su Yu and Ashley returned to the Fegg Hub.

But Su Yu’s expression didn’t look very good.

It wasn’t because of anything else, but rather because Blue Whale had been going berserk for nearly three hours, bouncing around endlessly in his mental sea.

If the mental sea didn’t have boundaries, who knows where Blue Whale might have jumped to by now.

"Alright, we’re here. Can you get out of my mental sea now?" Su Yu asked with a dark expression.

"Hahahahahaha..." Blue Whale sent a string of laughter; its joy was palpable even through the words.

"Alright, get to work properly. There’ll be plenty of people for you to serve in the future." Su Yu said helplessly.

...

After the teleportation ended, Su Yu and Ashley appeared on the Interstellar Great Transmission Array in Star Zone No. 1.

But Su Yu hadn’t even had the chance to catch his breath.

Almost instantly, eight 3D projections materialized right in front of him!

Seven of these projections were Stellar-Level figures.

The remaining one was someone Su Yu didn’t recognize.

However, Su Yu noticed that this person stood at the center, occupying the prominent position among the group.

Just based on this positional clue, it was clear that this must be the legendary Nebula-Level figure—Gretax Berna!

None of the Stellar-Level individuals spoke now.

But each one of them was staring intently at Su Yu, creating a palpably tense atmosphere.

In stark contrast to this tension, however, Star Zone No. 1 was exceptionally noisy—a chaotic hubbub resembling a bustling marketplace.

Faced with such a lineup, Su Yu naturally didn’t dare to show any disrespect.

He quickly plastered on a playful smile and said, "Haha, ladies and gentlemen, I’m back! It’s such a surprise to see you all welcoming me so enthusiastically!"

Berna, standing at the center, ignored Su Yu’s playful demeanor and spoke faintly, "A Level 5 AI, is it?"

"Yes." Su Yu dropped the smile and answered seriously, "However, the probability of successful upgrading isn’t very high—roughly 30 to 40 percent, I’d say."

"..." The Stellar-Level figures exchanged glances again.

If Su Yu’s claim was true, then even a 30 to 40 percent chance was hardly insignificant.

It was truly hard to imagine.

Such an event, with the potential to deeply impact the entire structure of the Milky Way, was actually in the hands of this young man...

Berna continued to eye Su Yu and asked, "Is there any way to increase the probability?"

Even though Berna was merely a projection, being stared at by him still made it hard for Su Yu to breathe.

This was the manifestation of an immense chasm in their power levels.

Su Yu’s face turned pale as he replied, "No way. All I can do is provide Blue Whale with the materials it requires; the rest depends solely on Blue Whale itself."

Noticing Su Yu’s discomfort, Berna slightly retracted his gaze.

Su Yu felt a little better.

He steadied himself and went on, "It’s like a cultivator attempting to break through a major realm—no matter how well preparations are made, the final success depends entirely on oneself. Thirty to forty percent is already the highest probability achievable."

"Is that so?" Berna turned his gaze slightly to the side, seemingly lost in thought.

Chief Soren rubbed his forehead and said, "But for something this important, why didn’t you say so earlier?"

"I didn’t know myself beforehand!" Su Yu blinked innocently, "Blue Whale only told me when we were in Talin, and even then, it told me to keep it a secret."

"Later, I figured the auction venue would be a perfect advertising opportunity, and that’s when I decided to make it public."

"..." The Stellar-Level figures went silent again.

Their expressions were complicated, but mostly conveyed a sense of exhaustion.

Speaker Lemo’s face was full of helplessness as he said, "Why can’t you settle down even after leaving the hub?"

Su Yu had already caused plenty of big incidents in Fegg, stirring things up nearly every few days.

But who would have thought that his antics would persist even after moving to another hub? And this time, it wasn’t just hub-wide commotion—it might as well be galaxy-wide by now.

Feigning innocence, Su Yu said, "It’s not me who can’t settle down; it’s the Level 5 AI’s fault. If anyone’s to blame, blame Blue Whale!"

"..." Inside Su Yu’s mind, AI Blue Whale replied with a string of ellipses.

"Alright." Berna gestured dismissively.

He looked at Su Yu, speaking seriously, "You’re sure about the 30 to 40 percent probability?"

"Absolutely!" Su Yu replied with a solemn expression, "And in the near future, I’ll need to leave the hub to go collect materials. It’ll be quite a while before I return."

"How long, roughly?" Berna pressed.

"Uh... Two or three years, maybe?" Su Yu replied uncertainly.

"Hmm...?" Upon hearing this, the Stellar-Level figures once again stared intently at Su Yu.

When Su Yu mentioned it would take a "long time," they had mentally prepared themselves for a timeframe of hundreds or even thousands of years—they could easily wait that long.

In their interminably lengthy lifespans, only something spanning hundreds or thousands of years was qualified to be called a "long time."

And this guy tells them two or three years?

Two or three years is hardly what anyone would call a long time—it’s practically the blink of an eye!

Faced with the intense gazes of these high-level figures, Su Yu glanced at Ashley for support.

Ashley sighed and stepped in to smooth things over, "Please try to understand. Unlike us ancient folks who’ve lived tens of thousands of years, what you see here is merely a 30-year-old fledgling. For him, two or three years is already a long time."

"Alright, fine." The Stellar-Level figures felt speechless all at once. What else could they say?

"What? Thirty years old?" Berna was deeply shocked too. Such an age...

Thinking back to his own thirty-year-old self... he couldn’t quite remember clearly anymore, but at most, he had probably been a student still in school.

How did the hymn manage to create such a freak?

Berna couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Su Yu.
