A moment later, after Spade emphatically praised Su Mo, he spoke.
"Okay, everyone, let's disperse."
At this time, Glory, who was standing aside and watching the whole process, suddenly asked: "Sir Spade, can I take the liberty to ask. Now that the visit to the Annas fleet has been successfully concluded, can we start the formal exploration operation?
Already?"
When everyone present heard Golloli asking about this matter, their ears perked up subconsciously.
I finally got to the point. In fact, this is the core issue that everyone is most concerned about.
Spade did not avoid the question. He just thought about it for a moment and then replied: "From now on, no private work is allowed without my order. I will notify everyone when the time is right."
To be on the safe side, Spade decided to keep the ship under control for a period of time until they completed the deal with the Green Gore.
Make sure the Green Gore leaves the starry sky before starting to explore, in case something unexpected happens.
After hearing Spade's words, everyone present felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on them, and replied with a depressed expression.
"yes."
"You don't have to be disappointed. I can tell you clearly that it won't take long for us to start all-round operations. And this time we also got first-hand information about the Kativaro starry sky from the Kingdom of Annas.
We will issue certain information to you when appropriate, so wasting this time is nothing!"
Spade said with great conviction.
After hearing Spade's words, everyone present became excited again.
"Understood, Lord Spade."
"It's all gone."
After Spade finished speaking, he turned and left.
Everyone at the scene did not follow him, but looked at Wen Luosi, Su Mo, and the people accompanying him this time.
Many people tried to get close to him to see if they could get some first-hand information.
"Sir Su Mo, that I am..."
"Lord Su Mo..."
....
Seeing that something was wrong, Su Mo quickly ran away.
A few days later, in the gym, Su Mo was holding one finger on the ground and the other hand on his back, doing endurance training.
At the same time, Su Mo was still communicating silently with the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, in his mind.
"Are you sure you didn't lie to me? My body strength development is less than 10%?"
"Why did I lie to you? Although your genes have evolved to level V, your cells have not been fully activated. Only through constant fighting and training can you truly become stronger. No matter how good the medicine is, it can only make you stronger.
The threshold for entry and how far you can go are entirely up to you."
Counterfeit Devourer replied in a deep voice.
Su Mo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he was much stronger now than when he was first injected with the V-type genetic medicine.
It seems that what the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said must be true.
However, Su Mo also has a headache. The development level is less than 10%, and he doesn't know how long it will take to fully develop it.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang and the others were squatting nearby and watching Su Mo keep exercising, breathing heavily and talking nonsense.
"The boss deserves to be the boss. His level of self-discipline is unparalleled."
"Brother Sun, I almost fell asleep while watching. I feel so bored. When can we start work!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long."
"Brother Sun, look, a beautiful woman seems to be walking towards us."
Zhang Hao suddenly poked Sun Duoxiang.
"real or fake?"
Sun Duoxiang looked over in disbelief.
Finally, I wiped my eyes and looked carefully.
Not far away, I saw a silver-haired beauty in a body-sculpting leather jacket walking towards me.
Sun Duoxiang took a look, rolled his eyes at Zhang Hao, and complained: "Don't look at it, this level must be for the boss."
"Well, Brother Sun, you seem to be right."
Zhang Hao watched the silver-haired beauty walking straight towards Su Mo.
"Su Mo."
Karinsha said hello with a smile.
When Su Mo heard Karinsha's voice, he stopped exercising and raised his head to look at Karinsha in surprise.
"Why are you here? What's the matter?"
"It's okay, can't I come to you?"
Karinsha asked with a smile.
"No."
Su Mo explained awkwardly.
"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Lord Spade asked me to come to you."
Karinsha said with a smile.
"Oh, what happened?"
Su Mo asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing. Lord Spade asked me to inform you. There will be a high-level plenary meeting tomorrow night, and everyone must be present."
"Wouldn't it be better if we informed you via text message about this matter?"
"Of course there are other things. This is an extra reward given to you by Master Spade. Don't let anyone know about it."
Karinsha took out an envelope and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it in confusion and asked curiously: "What's in this, Karinsha?"
"I don't know about this, but the things Master Spade gave me are basically not too bad. Okay, I've finished explaining everything. If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
Karinsha bid farewell to Su Mo gracefully.
"OK, bye."
Su Mo nodded slightly and responded.
Karinsha turned and left, sighing slightly as she left.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang, Zhang Hao and Marco were like flies that had smelled honey, and they all came over and asked curiously.
"Boss, what a good thing is this."
"As we go, they say it's a secret."
Su Mo waved his hand and replied helplessly.
"Oh, boss, just take a look at us, and we promise not to tell anyone else."
Sun Duoxiang felt extremely itchy.
"Okay, I'm really scared of you. Let me show you. If anyone wants to talk loudly, don't blame me for dealing with him."
Su Mo thought for a while, since it was a reward, it would be okay to give Sun Duoxiang and the others a look. As long as these guys don't talk loudly about it.
"Don't worry, boss, it won't happen."
Sun Duoxiang replied swornly.
So Su Mo opened the envelope in front of Sun Duoxiang, and found an ordinary piece of paper inside.
Su Mo pulled out the paper with some surprise. When he opened the paper, a very detailed coordinate record table came into their eyes.
"Isn't this a coordinate point? Wait, boss, can this be it?"
Sun Duoxiang's expression changed from puzzlement to surprise.
Basically all workers are sensitive to coordinate points, after all, this is the most basic foundation.
Su Mo didn't need Sun Duoxiang's reminder. He reacted immediately. He folded the paper and stuffed it into an envelope and put it away, and kept silent to Sun Duoxiang and others.
"Shh!"
He finally understood why Karinsha asked not to let anyone know. Isn't this just a small thing?
It's obvious that this coordinate must have been given by Bei Luo and the others, and it is definitely a rich spot with abundant resources.
If others saw it, even if they didn't dare to say anything, they would probably feel very uncomfortable. This is naked partiality.
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly: "Boss, are we going to get rich?"
"Okay, don't say anything. We'll find out later when we look back. Sew your mouth shut."
Su Mo was also a little excited inside. Who would have trouble with money?
"Okay, boss, why should we set off?"
Sun Duoxiang and others nodded quickly.
"Wait for the notice. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go back and take a shower."
Su Mo was not in the mood to continue training.
"Uh, okay."
Sun Duoxiang and others could bear the excitement in their hearts.
--------------------------
After a while, Su Mo returned to his room. He opened the closet, stuffed the envelope in his hand into one of his coats and hid it. He carefully confirmed that there was nothing wrong before closing the closet.
"It's just a coordinate, how much profit can it bring."
The deep voice of the counterfeit owner, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's head.
"Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is. A good start means half the success. Besides, this is a resource point that has been explored, so the profit will definitely be good."
Su Mo said in a very good mood.
"As long as this coordinate point is not a V-level resource point or an energy stone mine point, the income will most likely not be as good as that piece of garbage in your room."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a deep voice.
"Really? Don't joke with me. How is that possible?"
After Su Mojing's forgery owner, Devourer, said this, he walked to the corner of the room out of curiosity. There were a large number of mechanical debris piled here, including the tattered iron lump.
He knelt down and inspected this thing carefully. To be honest, he didn't even see what was so good about it now.
"Hmph, do you think I'm kidding you? Even if you dig a planet's worth of iron ore, it won't be as valuable as the smelted iron lump. After all, the grade of the material is there."
"It's so valuable? So how should we deal with it to maximize the benefits?"
Su Mo was secretly surprised. He knew this thing was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable. Fortunately, Mina sent it to him, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.
"Smelted into high-grade metal ingots."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a deep voice.
Su Mo rubbed his chin and thought for a while and said: "What a good idea, let's do this later. We will sell it to the Star Ring City. If we can sell it, we can just use it as start-up capital for starting a business. If we can't sell it, we can use it ourselves."
."
"madness."
The owner of the counterfeit, Devourer, sneered.
"What did I say wrong?"
Su Mo was also stunned.
"If you sell it to the City of Stars, in the words of you humans, you will lose your pants. Do you really think that the City of Stars is a good place and a philanthropist?"
"Look at what you said."
"Is there anything wrong with what I said? Do you really think that the Ring City has any good intentions in summoning you here? It is nothing more than passing a bottle of water to you who are about to die of thirst in the desert. In its eyes, you are nothing more than
They are just exploited slaves."
The counterfeit owner, the Devourer, said it extremely harshly.
"What you said is a bit too much. Of course I know that Ring City exploits us. But at least it gave us a chance, and it didn't forcefully restrict us. To put it bluntly, it is fully capable.
, they really exploit and enslave us as slaves, so at least for now we have to be grateful.”
Su Mo retorted nonchalantly.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, paused for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "I noticed that you have changed a lot recently, and you actually started to refute me."
Su Mo smiled and replied: "Don't say that, I just stand on the point of fairness and discuss the matter. And we are familiar with each other, you shouldn't be so stingy, right? You don't want to choose someone who can only flatter you.
Man, if that's the case, I might as well recommend you to Mo Baoke, that guy will definitely lick you unconditionally."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, did not answer Su Mo's words.
"You're not really angry, are you?"
Su Mo saw that the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, did not answer him, so he asked.
The response to him was still silence.
Su Mo was also a little helpless, this guy wouldn't be angry again. Stop it! There were still many things he didn't want to ask, and he finally caught this guy willing to talk.
"Hello~"
"The Forger, the Devourer?"
"The Forger, the Devourer?"
....
Su Mo called the name of the forger's owner, the Devourer, over and over again, but unfortunately there was no response.
In the end, there was nothing I could do, so I spoke.
"Little bite?"
At this time, the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, finally reacted.
"My name is not Xiao Yan."
"Oh, aren't you all so familiar? Besides, your name is too long and difficult to pronounce. I can't call you hello, hello, hello. So I took it upon myself to give you a name.
Does it feel good?"
"How am I young? I am older than the eighteen generations of your ancestors put together."
"That's not what I meant. Doesn't it seem friendly? Besides, aren't you quite small and exquisite, so I feel that calling you Xiaoqie is quite appropriate, and it sounds nice and easy to pronounce!"
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, fell silent again and ignored Su Mo.
"Don't stay still and say nothing. It's a good thing to communicate more. In fact, you are quite similar to me before. I used to be very taciturn and didn't like to communicate with others, let alone communicate with others. But after I came out, I realized
The world is so colorful and interesting, and life is full of meaning."
"Do you think I will believe what you say? I didn't know who said it before and wanted to go back to collect rent?"
"Um~ It's not what you think. The rent collection I'm talking about is completely different from what you think. It's not just rent collection."
"Why is it different?"
"This is a bit troublesome to say, you won't understand."
Su Mo replied awkwardly, what he wanted to do was to go back and live an ordinary life with the person he liked. Who can live a normal life with enough food but like to fight to the death in such a dangerous starry sky?
"Hmph, tell me what you want me to do."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, was too lazy to talk to Su Mo about these issues and asked in a deep voice.
Su Mo quickly took this opportunity to ask: "I want to ask you about the Cup of Heaven."
"The Cup of Heaven? Didn't the City of Stars tell you the relevant information?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied coldly.
"Yes, but I'm not sure now whether this Cup of Heaven exists or not. Last time I learned from Jialan that no one who has participated in the past years has won. Isn't this a bit false? I just want to ask you.
Does this Heavenly Cup really exist?"
"The Cup of Heaven that Star Ring City told you about exists, but so what?"
"So what, just exist! The one who wins in the end can get a wish."
"Even if I give you a wish, based on your knowledge, what can you wish for with a high probability of getting a suitable planet? Or getting the so-called false immortality? How many more years of life? Apart from that, what else can you wish for? If you wish
This is extremely excessive, and I can tell you responsibly that what awaits you will be erasure."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied sarcastically.
"this."
"Stop daydreaming, let me tell you the truth. The so-called Cup of Heaven really exists, but it is not the one you are participating in. The real Cup of Heaven and the City of Star Rings are one of the real contestants. You
They are nothing more than cannon fodder summoned from Star Ring City."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, directly revealed the shocking secret.
Su Mo was also shocked. He replied in disbelief: "Are you kidding me? How is it possible that a god-like existence in the Star Ring City is just a contestant?"
"God? Yes, there is such a saying in this world, but the so-called gods are just some beliefs. They are subjectively strengthened by certain civilizations during the long history. There is no real god in this world."
"Then you claimed to be God last time, so why are you saying that God does not exist now?"
Su Mo asked with a confused look on his face.
"Are you looking for a fight?"
The counterfeit owner, the Devourer, was extremely annoyed, as if its tail had been stepped on, but it couldn't answer the question itself, and was a little confused for a while.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Even if there is no real god, in my opinion, the Star Ring City is almost like a god. You must know how powerful the Star Ring City is. It can summon us across time, space and dimensions.
It’s simply amazing.”
Su Mo said with an ever-changing expression.
"You are thinking too much. Let me tell you, no one can pull anyone over across time and space. The Ring City can pull you here because it uses special star gates and traction technology to directly pull you here.
Your whole planet is being dragged here."
"What about the Star Ring World? We clearly experienced the independent world it created."
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat and he said.
"In the most central area of the Star Ring City, there is a super artificial intelligence device called Zero. It can fabricate a complete world. It was originally used to train soldiers in batches and to achieve an alternative form of immortality, that is, mechanical
The highest version of ascension. You were just pulled into the realm of the earth for a training session. And I invaded that world and chose you among the many best soldiers."
The counterfeit owner, Devourer, directly had a showdown with Su Mo.
"this..."
After Su Mo listened, he felt as if his worldview had been subverted for a moment.
"Don't always talk about God. The miracles you think are just more advanced scientific and technological achievements that you can't understand, just like superstition."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a deep voice.
Su Mo took a deep breath and finally said: "If it is true as you said, Star Ring City is the real contestant of the Cup of Heaven, then what about the other contestants? Why didn't you see it?"
"Do you think Ring City will let other contestants enter its territory? When you leave the shelter of Ring City, you will naturally bump into them."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied coldly.
Su Mo swallowed and then asked, "Then I'm asking the last question, is Star Ring City the strongest among all the contestants?"
"That's right."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, was silent for a few seconds, and admitted reluctantly.
After Su Mo heard this, he patted his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, fortunately, if the Star Ring City is not strong, then we will really become cannon fodder among cannon fodder. After all, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big trees, so we still have a chance."
"You are right about this. You do have a chance to make a comeback, but whether you can seize it or not depends on you. However, I would like to remind you that all the civilizations that you did not seize before have been wiped out."
The owner of the counterfeit, Devourer, sneered.
After Su Mo heard this, he felt a little pain when he touched his head, and all the happiness he had felt suddenly disappeared.
"It's useless to think so much. The reason why I don't want to tell you so early is because I'm afraid you will be under too much pressure. Now you can only continue to strengthen your own strength and become a strong person. Only then can you be qualified to occupy a place in this cruel world."
Those who are qualified to speak are destined to be dust, and who cares about the words of dust."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a deep voice.
"I see."
Su Mo nodded.
--------------------------
Seven days later, the council hall at the center of the Black Teeth was overcrowded.
Basically all the important personnel involved in this exploration operation were present, and everyone was talking and discussing in low voices.
"Why do you think you summoned us for a meeting suddenly?"
"Do you think the homework is about to start?"
"I also have this hunch. If so, that would be great."
"That's right, I'm almost going crazy waiting."
...
At this time, Su Mo was sitting in the front row of the conference hall and waiting quietly. Wenluosi and all the official members of the GT department were sitting on both sides of him.
Thuris and others were all sitting upright, their faces tense and unsmiling.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps was heard.
The whispers at the scene stopped immediately, and the scene was completely silent.
Spade entered the conference hall and walked towards the parliamentary stage.
Soon he walked up to everyone. He glanced at everyone present with a steady gaze, and then said in a deep voice.
"I've called all of you here today, for no other reason than to tell you that the transaction between us and the Green Gore was successfully completed not long ago. At the same time, the Green Gore also left the starry sky, which means that we are about to start a business
Formal homework.”
Hearing this, although everyone at the scene did not burst into cheers, everyone looked excited.
Spade continued: "Before the work begins, I have something to tell you clearly. I know that most of you have endured humiliation and worked hard to fight for this opportunity, just to get the first bucket.
"I also know that many of you don't have a deep sense of belonging to the Federation, but it doesn't matter. After all, the Federation has only been established for a few years. But there are some things that you need to understand. This world is cruel. Only
Only by uniting can we have a chance of survival, so whether you like the Federation or not, the Federation will be an existence that we jointly protect in the future."
"Remember one sentence, no eggs are left intact until the nest is overturned! Therefore, in this exploration operation, the interests of the Federation are the first priority. No one is allowed to ruin the Federation's plan. Of course, if the big plan goes well, I will also represent the Federation.
Give you enough freedom and benefits, do you understand?"
Spade asked in an extremely loud voice.
"clear!"
Everyone replied with excitement.
"I officially announce that in 12 hours, the comprehensive exploration operation will officially begin!"
Spade officially announced.
Everyone at the scene stood up, applauded vigorously, and burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Su Mo took a deep breath and said to himself.
"It finally begins!"
Spade raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Soon everyone who was excited fell silent, and Spade continued: "From now on, I will disclose a piece of information about the Kativaro Star Sea. This information was obtained from the Green Gore of the Kingdom of Annas.
If you get it, the area where they found the monsters will be marked in detail, and the type and approximate strength of the monster will be noted. You can use it as a reference. But remember my words, don’t trust and rely too much on this information. You should understand what I mean.
."
"yes!"
Everyone replied excitedly.
"Very well, the meeting is over! Everyone is free to prepare."
Spade is no longer imposing any restrictions.
Soon the entire bustling parliament hall was empty in an instant.
Everyone hurriedly left to make preparations.
At this time, Zhao Wushuang walked up to Su Mo and whispered in Su Mo's ear: "Master Su Mo, I'm going to prepare."
