Chapter 1497: 1385, host a banquet
"What exactly does Chief Soren want from me?" Su Yu thought to himself.
He also didn’t forget to ask the AI Blue Whale, "Blue Whale, do you know why Andrew Soren is looking for me?"
"I don’t know." The AI Blue Whale quickly replied, "My level isn’t sufficient to discern the thoughts in Andrew Soren’s mind. But..."
"But what? Blue Whale, since when did you start teasing with suspense?"
"But I suspect it might have something to do with me." The AI Blue Whale responded, "You know, the Jared Team has completed their investigation of me, and the results will be announced soon. Chief Soren should already know the outcome.
Therefore, I speculate that this meeting might have something to do with me."
"Is it because of you?" Su Yu touched his chin, "That indeed seems possible."
Andrew Soren is not only the head of the Central Bank but also the Hub Finance Minister. It makes sense that the funds for purchasing the AI Blue Whale would come from the Finance Department, so it’s not surprising that Blue Whale would seek him out.
...
After walking for about more than 10 minutes along the passage, Marguerite led Su Yu to the entrance of one of the spaces.
This space was Space 43, where Chief Soren stood alone right in the center.
Upon seeing Su Yu’s figure appear at the entrance, he greeted first, "Hello, Councilor Su Yu, you’re quite on time!"
Chief Soren’s tone was very kind, with the unique warmth and amiability of an old senior. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com
They had arranged to meet at 10 AM, and Su Yu had arrived precisely at 10, neither a minute more nor less.
Su Yu immediately gave Chief Soren a mage’s salute and respectfully said, "Of course, I must be punctual for your summons; who doesn’t know the numerous matters you have to handle at the Hub? I wouldn’t dare to waste your time."
While Su Yu was speaking, Marguerite had silently exited the space and closed the door behind them.
In this environment where they were alone, Su Yu looked up at Soren and asked, "Well, I wonder what matter you have for me?"
"Haha, let’s not talk about that yet, let’s eat something first." Chief Soren waved with a smile, gesturing to the right for Su Yu with a "please" gesture, "As a newcomer, you probably haven’t had time to taste the delicacies from around the Federation, right? Try them and see if they’re to your liking."
To the right of Chief Soren, five large dining tables about 5 to 6 meters wide were laid out sequentially with round, diamond, and triangular plates.
The material of the plates was indiscernible; some seemed like glass, others like metal.
However, the plates contained a variety of dishes from dozens of different galactic cuisines from the Galactic and Holy Silver star systems.
Of course, these were all favorites of Chief Soren.
Su Yu looked at the diverse array of dishes, finding them strange and exotic, all things he had never seen before.
However, some of them seemed visually acceptable, and their aroma smelled pleasant, feeling like they could be worth trying.
Moreover, upon seeing this tableful of gourmet food, the anxiety in Su Yu’s mind gradually eased.
Prior to coming, he was unsure of Soren’s intentions, whether friend or foe, and thus remained constantly alert.
But now, he could relax a bit due to the abundance of food on the table.
He had previously read about Andrew Soren, knowing he was a rare gourmet aficionado.
Those reaching the sixth tier of cultivation often no longer need to consume external food, so most high-tier cultivators don’t have the habit of eating.
Planet-level and Stellar-level beings even more so, as they wouldn’t consider eating due to the low energy density of even gourmet cuisine, deeming it flavorless.
It’s like a regular Blue Star human being, where a few kilos of meat are sufficient to meet daily caloric needs, thus finding meat and even higher-calorie foods delicious;
Whereas a Planet-level or Stellar-level being might not sustain a day’s consumption even with 10,000 kilos of meat, making it tastelessly bland.
Due to this scenario, 99% beyond Planet-level don’t consider food intake.
But there’s an exception, and that is Chief Soren, of course.
Chief Soren hasn’t forsaken eating due to "tastelessness" and, to continue enjoying gourmet experiences, has greatly adapted himself, amplifying his sense of taste sensitivity countless times, almost indistinguishable from an average person.
As a result, Chief Soren still enjoys gourmet food, relishing the diverse cuisines from various civilizations and regions, and takes pleasure in it.
On this occasion, to host Su Yu, he was willing to share his favorites, which indicated he bore no malice, at least none overtly.
...
Su Yu, of course, had no reason to refuse the gourmet food and slowly tasted a few items that caught his eye.
Cat Morning Star also carefully stretched her head out from the pet space, her gaze slightly fixated on the gourmet food.
Chief Soren noticed Morning Star and chuckled, "Is this your companion? Very nice, a product from those old folks at the Secret Law Academy, isn’t it?
Little one, feel free to try some too, choose what you like."
"Thank you, Chief!" Morning Star perked up, leaped out from the pet space, and with a flicker, appeared on the dining table.
She wasn’t particularly intimidated by Soren. Despite the huge gap in tiers, her ability to revive in the real world still existed, so she wasn’t too frightened.
Being sensible, Morning Star swiftly retrieved a dozen types of food from her storage gear, presenting them offering-like to Chief Soren, "Chief, these are delicacies favored by humans from our place, please have a taste."
"Ah, just right! Let me try the food from your place." Chief Soren was delighted, exactly what he enjoyed.
