Su Mo thought for a while, then quickly left here and returned to the ship.
All the money has been spent and things have been settled. Let's meet up and return home early so that we won't be easily spotted and cause trouble.
Even though this is the Ring City, it seems very big, but in fact, the area where Sumo is currently active is the surface trading market. And this trading market is the area where Federation members often hang out. As for other civilized personnel, more of them are in
The trading area next door is active and staggered from each other, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding in disguise.
After all, no one can decide who is the other, so we might as well try not to interact with each other as much as possible.
Su Mo walked towards the airport, but halfway there, he bumped into Xiao Wen and Chen Shan.
"Su Mo!"
Chen Shan laughed and said hello.
"Chen Shan, Xiao Wen, why are you here? I am planning to return to the ship."
"We have just finished some things and are shopping for some things. Do you want to come together?"
Xiao Wen asked with a smile.
"OK!"
Su Mo didn't refuse, even though he had no money. But it would be good to just go shopping with him and learn more about things.
"Then let's go together. How are you doing with your affairs?"
Chen Shan put his arm around Su Mo's shoulders enthusiastically and asked cheerfully.
Su Mo thought for a moment and didn't know how to describe it, so he replied: "It's okay."
"It's okay. By the way, Su Mo, why don't you buy something?"
Xiao Wen looked at Su Mo with empty hands and asked.
Su Mo replied calmly: "No, all the money is spent."
Chen Shan said with a smile: "Isn't it that I couldn't control it for a while, so I spent all my money?"
"That's right."
"Don't be embarrassed, it's normal. Let me tell you the truth, if Xiao Wen hadn't stopped me along the way, I would have spent all my money long ago. Let's go shopping together. If you like something, tell me.
Brother, help you out."
Chen Shan patted his chest generously and said.
"Thanks."
Su Mo didn't refuse either.
So the three of them continued shopping in street shops. They first walked to a roadside stall. The boss was a man with long braids and grayish-blue skin. He was tall, at least two meters tall, but
Very thin.
There are messy things on the stall.
In the trading area of the City of Stars, except for some relatively powerful shops with warehouses, ordinary shops and street stalls, all their belongings are displayed.
After all, the houses here are so expensive, how many people can afford to rent a store.
In addition, except for the mechanical column, there are basically no stores that sell low-level ships, because the port fees for low-level ships are too expensive.
The cost of parking for a period of time is even higher than the price of the spacecraft.
So basically they sell some parts and the like.
Xiao Wen squatted down at this time, picked up some metal round patches, and asked, "How do you sell these translation patches?"
"You are really discerning. It's only 1.5 star coins a piece. It can be cheap in large quantities."
The stall owner in front of him saw that there was business, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Too expensive, 0.5 star coins each."
"If you can't sell it, the cost won't be covered."
"You don't have to fool me. The mechanical column only sells for 1 star coin. If you dare to sell it for 1.5 star coins, it's only 0.5 star coins."
Xiao Wen's attitude was very determined.
The stall owner's expression changed for a while, and finally he sighed and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Fifty pieces."
"good."
The stall owner immediately took out a box from a box behind him and handed it to Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen picked up his card, swiped it on the stall owner's machine, and paid for the star coins.
"What did you buy these for?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"This is a language translation patch. We rely on this to communicate with people from different civilizations. The reason why you have trouble-free language communication in the Star Ring City is because everyone here uses this thing. Once you encounter someone who doesn't use it,
People who translate the patches will have communication problems. These metal patches have been recorded in advance, and all the languages that participate in the Star Ring Civilization can help you translate the information, and can also help you convert the spoken language, otherwise the devil knows
What are you talking about? Here, I'll give you a piece."
After Xiao Wen finished explaining, he took out a piece and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it and took a look at it. It felt like it was quite magical, a perfect piece of black technology.
"how to use?"
"Put it on the side of your neck and try not to be too far away from your vocal cords. This will have a better effect."
Chen Shan pointed to the side of his neck, which also had a piece of it.
"good."
Su Mo put it away.
"Guests, you can take a look at the other items on my stall. They are all of the best quality, and many of them were dug out from the ruins of civilization outside."
The stall owner diligently continued to sell other items.
Xiao Wen took a look at the items in the stall. Most of them were old items. Most of them looked like parts removed from scraps and some strange ores.
He couldn't tell the effect at all, and with limited funds, he suddenly lost interest.
"No, let's go and take a look at the front."
"Don't leave, I sell top-secret information here. Let me tell you, when I was young, I was the commander of the King's Army of Hetas, with more than a dozen standard warships. I know that after the destruction of Hetas, the remaining
If you are interested in the material reserve site, I can sell it to you at a cheap price."
The stall owner in front of him suddenly became anxious. His business was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer afford to pay taxes.
Su Mo couldn't help but look at Xiao Wen, he was curious about how Xiao Wen would deal with it.
As a result, Xiao Wen said in a deep voice: "We don't just buy information, but if you are willing to follow us, our federation is willing to pay you a sum of money."
Unexpectedly, the stall owner in front of him shook his head like a rattle when he heard Xiao Wen's words.
"No, no, I'd better sell it to someone else."
The surviving people here dare to deceive newcomers because conflict is absolutely prohibited in the City of Stars. As long as it is not an on-site transaction fraud, it is useless to come to them afterwards.
But if you follow the newcomers and leave the City of Stars, you will become a piece of cake on the chopping board. If you don't get the money by then, welcoming you will be torture.
No one is willing to leave Star Ring City unless it is absolutely necessary.
When Xiao Wen saw that the other party was unwilling, he stopped forcing him. For anyone who was unwilling to leave, ninety-nine out of a hundred information given to him would be false.
Even if there is one percent truth, who can afford to bet.
So Su Mo and the other three continued to wander forward, seeing that there were so many stalls here.
At this time, Su Mo saw a stall selling a large number of books at an extremely cheap price of one star coin for ten books. Of course, if you look at the printed materials of the books, you can tell that they are pirated prints, and there are also information disks for sale next to the books.
The stall owner is a silver-haired woman, wearing a very special blue skirt, with a delicate and beautiful face full of melancholy.
Su Mo knelt down and started reading. Every book looked strange.
Chen Shan asked: "Brother, do you want this?"
"Well, lend me some star coins and I'll buy some."
"As you said, you can choose how many star coins these cost."
"Then I won't be polite."
Su Mo picked some books, then took a few data disks, and asked
"How much."
The girl in front of her stretched out her hand and made a sound as sweet as a nightingale.
"Five-star coins."
It's like a pleasure to hear the girl in front of me speak, the tone of voice is very special.
After Chen Shan picked up the card and paid the money, he whispered.
"This girl must have been a star before, her voice is so special."
Xiao Wen reminded Chen Shan: "Don't speculate on other people's past."
"oh."
Chen Shan immediately realized that almost none of the people who could survive in the Star Ring City after the collapse of civilization were vegetarians. Of course, most of them had memories that were unbearable to look back on.
If you say the wrong thing and make people angry, you will be in trouble.
"We are visiting a few stalls, it's almost time to go back."
Xiao Wen looked at his phone and said.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly made a confused voice: "This is..."
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan turned to look at Su Mo. Su Mo squatted down, picked up a mecha model on the stall, and looked left and right.
"This thing is quite similar to the II-generation mecha Black Steel, although there are some differences in appearance."
"Is it the II generation mecha Black Steel, or an enhanced version? How can I sell this mecha?"
Xiao Wen immediately became interested. He must know that their legion has only been allocated I-generation mechas so far. It’s not that the federal government can’t afford it, but that the federal procurement quantity is extremely rare. It is more about purchasing production lines and technology and wants to continue to develop.
"Twenty thousand star coins."
The beautiful stall owner in front of him raised his head and replied melancholy.
Hearing this number, Xiao Wen felt embarrassed. The price was far beyond his ability to bear. When he came to the Star Ring City this time, he only carried a total of 15,000 star coins with him, and he basically had enough to purchase.
Although I like it very much, the price is still too expensive.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Wen?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
The three people in Su Mo turned around and looked over, only to see Mo Baoke walking over with a group of subordinates. At this time, he was wearing a federal military uniform and still had the rank of colonel.
The position is exactly at the same level as Xiao Wen.
"Mo Baoke? Is something wrong?"
Xiao Wen's voice was very cold. In the Star Ring World, their two legions had many conflicts before. Of course, that was nothing, after all, it was all in the past. The problem was that Xiao Wen didn't have any good impressions of this guy.
Because of his character and exaggerated style, he hates him the most.
"Don't be so cold. After all, we will be companions from now on. If you don't look up and look down, you are just buying something."
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Su Mo was also very uninterested in Mo Baoke. If this guy suddenly appeared, it would definitely be up to no good.
Mo Baoke turned to look at Su Mo, and he looked more and more familiar. He suddenly remembered, wasn't this guy the one who caused him so much harm? He was the only one who robbed his mecha, and even harmed him.
He lost a lot of gold points. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was an enemy. His anger suddenly started to rise. It was true that the road between enemies was narrow.
"It's you, Su Mo!"
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Shan stood directly in front of Su Mo.
When Mo Baoke saw Chen Shan standing in front of him, he immediately came back to his senses. Only then did he remember.
It seems to be no different now than usual. They are all from the Federation. Moreover, Long Ming has also become the president of the Federation Parliament, so he said with a smile. "What do you want to do? This is not the first time to see Su Mo in person. I am a bit excited."
Overdone.”
"It's best not to have any evil intentions."
Chen Shan warned.
"Look at what you said. It's too late for me to admire you. Let's not talk about it anymore. What are you looking at? You have a good vision. It's a top-notch second-generation mecha."
Mo Baoke responded with a smile, while looking at the mecha model, he recognized it at a glance.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Chen Shan replied angrily.
Mo Baoke didn't care either. He looked at the stall owner and his eyes lit up. She was such a beautiful girl, so he asked.
"Sister, how can I sell this mecha?"
"Twenty thousand star coins."
"Twenty thousand star coins are not expensive. Brother Xiao Wen should buy it quickly."
Mo Baoke told lies with his eyes open. Twenty thousand star coins were not expensive, but converted into current federal coins, the price had already reached 200 million federal coins.
Xiao Wen did not reply to Mo Baoke's words.
Seeing that Xiao Wen didn't look very good, Mo Baoke immediately reacted and said with a mean smile: "Brother Xiao Wen, you probably don't have enough money. If that's the case, tell your brother and he will pay for it."
I'm here to help you, I'm very generous, don't be embarrassed."
The more Mo Baoke talked, the more proud he became. You must know that in the Star Ring World, their territories were adjacent to each other. They had conflicts with Xiao Wen all the year round, and suffered a lot every time.
In his opinion, this guy always looked arrogant and disdainful. Now that he had such a good opportunity to squeeze on the opponent, how could he give up.
Chen Shan's expression on the side was not very good. Isn't this deliberately looking for trouble? He knew they didn't have much money, but he still said that. You know, these guys spend all day digging for gold, so of course they are very rich.
.
Instead, Su Mo thought about it and realized that this second-generation mecha could handle most of the dangers of normal missions.
Its importance is self-evident, and now that funds are so tight, even if it is allocated later, it will probably not be much. One more unit is one point of combat effectiveness.
This is not a game, and it does not mean that if the mission fails, it will be over. People will die, and there is no regret medicine.
Losing a little face is nothing, and the reason why Mo Baoke is so generous is clearly because he has a good grasp of Xiao Wen's character, and he is sure that he will not agree. In this case, just do the opposite, don't use the money in vain,
After passing this village, there is no such land.
Just when Xiao Wen was about to decline, Su Mo suddenly interrupted Xiao Wen.
"Okay, then I would like to thank you on behalf of Commander Xiao Wen. Please pay."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of Mo Baoke and others suddenly froze, including Xiao Wen and Chen Shan. They were also confused.
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan looked at Su Mo in disbelief.
Su Mo reminded the two of them with his eyes, why not agree to it, it would be a shame to lose a little face, this is a genuine mecha.
Although Xiao Wen and Chen Shan were very uncomfortable with it, they remained silent, acquiescing to Su Mo's words.
So it was Mo Baoke's turn and others to become uneasy. Mo Baoke squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "I think so. The problem is that Commander Xiao Wen doesn't seem to want it very much."
Su Mo said calmly and calmly: "Our Lord Xiao Wen won't mind, and our legion happens to be short of mechas. Lord Mo Baoke is so impatient and righteous, how can he lose your face? You said so?"
Bar?"
Xiao Wen took a deep breath and replied awkwardly against his will.
"Su Mo is right, thank you, then I won't be polite."
Mo Baoke's face turned green, twenty thousand star coins!!!
Su Mo looked at Mo Baoke, who was looking very exciting, and said calmly: "Lord Mo Baoke, please pay. A big shot like you won't break your promise, right?"
"Nonsense, how could I break my promise? I'll pay."
Mo Baoke awkwardly took out the card from his pocket.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Su Mo stretched out his hand to pull out the card and said to the stall owner.
“Swipe your card!”
He was afraid that Mo Baoke would suddenly regret it.
The pretty stall owner in front of him took the card, swiped the money inside, and then took out a delivery slip from his pocket and handed it to Su Mo.
"You can follow the information on the delivery note and go to the Z281 sundries storage warehouse to pick up the mechas stored there."
"good!"
Su Mo took it without any embarrassment.
When Mo Baoke saw the money paid, he staggered and almost fainted.
"Thank you, Lord Mo Baoke. This is your card. Please keep it."
Su Mo handed the card back to Mo Baoke and said in a neutral tone, not showing much gratitude at all.
Mo Baoke's face was as suffocated as a pig's trotters. When he took the card, he instinctively wanted to reach out for the delivery list in Su Mo's hand.
Unfortunately, Su Mo turned around and handed the delivery list to Xiao Wen.
"Master Xiao Wen, here is the delivery list for you to take."
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan both looked very hard to hold in their expressions and almost wanted to laugh out loud.
"OK."
Xiao Wen politely put away the delivery list.
Mo Baoke's eyes almost popped out of his eyes as he stared at the delivery list. He was really dumb and couldn't explain the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
"That Su Mo, how can you pay me back?"
"Lord Mo Baoke, look at what you said, are we the kind of people who can default on our debts? But you also know that we really have no money on hand now. How about you wait and wait until we have money to pay back some year?
, I know you definitely don’t care about this little money.”
"which year!"
Mo Baoke's face almost collapsed.
"Any questions?"
Su Mo asked rhetorically.
"without."
Although Mo Baoke feels sad, he is the boss of borrowing money these days. If he offends these guys, he will be in trouble if he doesn't pay back the money later.
"Lord Mo Baoke, we are interested in a lot of things. If you could help us with some more, we would be really grateful."
Su Mo asked calmly.
Mo Baoke was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The hairs all over his body stood on end.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Mo Baoke and his men ran away in a panic, fearing that he would say the wrong thing again later.
"Walk slowly! Haha!"
Chen Shan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Mo Baoke and others leaving in embarrassment.
Xiao Wen stretched out his hand and patted Su Mo on the shoulder, saying with emotion: "I don't know how to thank you."
"Su Mo, you are so awesome. You made that guy unable to come to the stage and actually paid for it. We got a mecha for nothing. Thank you so much."
"What's there to thank you for? It's not me who paid, but sometimes face is actually worthless. Because what we are about to face is a cruel reality. Weapons are our strength, so we can get them first. Maybe a mecha
We can save our closest companions, and we can pay back the money when we have enough time later."
On the contrary, Su Mo saw things very clearly. I don't know why, but since receiving the gene injection, Su Mo felt that his thoughts became clearer and he seemed to have become smarter.
"You're right. Chen Shan and I really need to reflect and learn to adapt."
Xiao Wen nodded.
"Actually, it's nothing. Having principles is a good thing."
Su Mo responded with a smile.
Just when Su Mo and the other three were talking, a very polite voice sounded.
"The commander of Xiao Wen's army is really you. I saw you from a distance, but I was a little unsure. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xiao Wen and the other three turned around and looked over. Today was really a good day. They kept meeting acquaintances.
The people who arrived were none other than Ye Wuhen, Ye Wei, and Xiao Jie. Next to Ye Wuhen was a tall woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a bright red skirt. This woman, Su Mo, glanced at
It can be seen that Miss Betsy, the top star of the Federation.
It looked like they were accompanying Miss Betsy shopping.
"Mr. Ye Wuhen."
Xiao Wen responded coldly, saying that he was not interested in him, and since Ye Wuhen also took the credit for Qian Chengxue's work, he was even less interested in it.
"Hey, isn't this Su Mo? I didn't expect to see you here. Why did you quit your job and run away so fast? Your relationship is embracing a new partner! No, you can't call me Su Mo anymore, you should be called Su
Lord Mo."
Ye Wei looked Su Mo up and down and said sarcastically, "This kid has done a lot of things for Qian Chengxue."
Xiao Jie's eyes also fell on Su Mo at this time, and a trace of unnoticeable hostility flashed in his eyes, and then returned to the original state.
Ye Wuhen also noticed Su Mo at this time, and he was a little surprised. Su Mo was actually with Xiao Wen's army, and he was wearing military uniforms. Although judging from the style, he was not part of the establishment, but he seemed to be doing well.
good.
This kid does have some skills. I really didn't miss him at the beginning. He is a talent.
Then Ye Wuhen scolded Ye Wei seriously: "What are you talking about, sister? The 10th branch of the Dawn Group has been disbanded. It is normal for everyone to have his own ambitions. Besides, Mr. Su Mo had made many achievements for the Dawn Guild."
Credit, please speak politely. Mr. Su Mo, don’t take it too seriously, that’s just how my little sister is."
"fine."
Su Mo responded calmly.
Ye Wuhen said with a smile: "Mr. Su Mo, we can get together when he has time. If you are interested, you can come back. The conditions are up to you. The door of Dawn Group will always be open to you."
What he said was very level. On the one hand, it was for Xiao Wen's sake and it gave Su Mo face. On the other hand, he wanted to try to lure Su Mo back.
Chen Shan said impatiently: "Mr. Ye Wuhen, is there anything else we need to do? If nothing else, we have to leave first."
When he saw Ye Wuhen's annoyance, he couldn't help but want to scold this guy for being a thief.
"Chen Shan, you are really impatient. It is rare for us to meet and chat."
Although Ye Wuhen was polite to Chen Shan, he was not as respectful as he was to Xiao Wen. This was because he was now a lieutenant colonel, one level higher than Chen Shan.
At this time, Miss Betsy said calmly: "Mr. Ye Wuhen, why don't you talk to your friends first, and I'll go shopping by myself."
Ye Wuhen immediately responded with a smile: "No, we are just chatting. Miss Betsy, let's go to the store in front and have a look. There are many good things for sale there."
"All right."
Betsy responded calmly.
"Commander Xiao Wen, let's leave first. We'll talk when we have time."
Ye Wuhen and others left.
Su Mo couldn't help but take a glance, feeling that this guy was pursuing Miss Betsy.
Chen Shan snorted coldly: "That guy Ye Wuhen is really snobbish. I remember that when he saw us before, he would be as respectful as possible. Now the tide has really risen, and his words are different.
It’s strange that someone like him can catch up with Miss Betsy.”
"Forget it Chen Shan, don't mention that, let's go pick up the goods and return home."
Xiao Wen said lightly.
"good!"
...
--------------------------
The next day, Su Mo returned to his villa, went up to the second floor and closed the door.
After he put the purchased books on the bookshelf, he immediately sat on the sofa.
Close your eyes, concentrate and quietly feel the forgery master light brain in your body.
For an instant, Su Mo felt like he was in a dark world.
He could clearly see a black and silent mechanical ball floating in front of him.
Su Mo concentrated on trying to touch it to see if it could be activated.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, as soon as his spirit touched the counterfeit master's optical brain, an extremely disgusting and cold feeling swept through Su Mo's body.
It was like being wrapped around the body by an icy snake, greasy and cold.
Instantly, Su Mo felt extremely sick and cold, opened his eyes suddenly, and started retching.
The heart keeps beating faster.
Su Mo gasped for breath, and it took him a moment to recover.
"how so?"
Su Mo's expression suddenly changed, revealing a look of reluctance. The thing he spent so much money on could not be activated.
He also didn't believe it, so he slowly closed his eyes and tried again.
once!
twice!
three times!
.........
Su Mo didn't know how many times he had tried it. The strong negative pollution made him feel very uncomfortable.
But Su Mo did not give up. After several attempts, Su Mo concentrated all his energy and forcibly touched the light brain.
In the dark spiritual world, the floating black light brain finally moved.
Its surface began to crack, and strings of sticky, pitch-black tentacles extended from the inside, instantly binding Su Mo.
In an instant, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes like a ferocious beast, and his left eye turned a deep dark red. His entire face began to distort, black aura emanated from his body, and his entire head was filled with death wails and desperate roars.
.Su Mo suddenly felt that the whole world turned dark red, and his eyes were extremely red.
Endless anger rose from the bottom of my heart, as if it was going to be swallowed up completely.
"ah!"
Su Mo became extremely violent at this moment!
He had an inexplicable desire to kill and destroy. He looked at the human figures placed on the cabinet and punched them crazily.
Boom!
The entire wooden cabinet was torn apart, and each figure fell to the ground and shattered.
