Su Mo thought for a while and then replied to the owner of the forgery, the Devourer: "It's early anyway, so let's go shopping slowly. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise, and if it doesn't work, don't we still have mechanical pillars? There can't be mechanical pillars."
The things they sell are also rubbish."
"The things that Mechanical Pillar sells are indeed good, but can you afford them?"
"Haha, look at what you said. No matter what we say, it can be regarded as a small fortune, okay?"
Su Mo replied with a dumb smile.
"cut!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied disdainfully.
...
Just when Su Mo and the owner of the forgery, Devourer, were discussing where to buy things with the best value for money.
Suddenly there was a burst of restlessness and exclamations not far away.
Su Mo turned around and looked over, only to see a cool blue third-generation mecha landing handsomely at the interstellar port with an elegant figure.
It immediately attracted countless envious and jealous looks.
"Wow, he's so handsome! A third-generation mecha!"
"And it comes with a pass."
"What a perfect son-in-law!"
"Who said a rich husband can't be a wealthy woman? Do you have any discrimination against women?"
"I don't think gender is important. You don't have to worry about it so hard!"
...
Su Mo was also a little itchy after seeing it, and he communicated with the owner of the forgery, the Devourer: "How about I buy a pure mechanical IV mecha? It's definitely very useful for self-protection and transportation."
"It's up to you, but I want to warn you, the water for purely mechanical mechas is deeper. Don't buy a bunch of junk and come back."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied coldly.
"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely buy it. Anyway, we are rich now, but I just don't know if the pass they said is easy to get?"
Su Mo replied looking forward to it more and more.
"Everything is easy to do if you have money. If you have enough star coins, you can arm an army in the Ring City to sweep across all directions in one night. Money is everything here."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
"Okay, although it's a bit exaggerated, it seems to be true. How rich is the owner of this Star Ring City? If I hadn't already had Xue'er in mind, I would really want to hug her and eat her.
Soft rice, haha.”
Su Mo walked forward while chatting with the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
"Hmph, have your big spring and autumn dream. And don't think about this problem with a narrow perspective. There is not a person standing behind an existence of this level, and it naturally does not belong to a single person. I am simple
Let me introduce to you the structure of the Ring City, as well as some unspoken rules. The entire City of the Ring is divided into five rings. The inner ring is prohibited from entering. Only the true ruler of the City of Rings can enter. Any unauthorized intruders
Anyone who enters will be sentenced to death! It’s a bit like your high wall.”
"clear."
Su Mo nodded slightly and responded.
"The Inner Second Ring Road is the upper-class residential area, and it is also the area that all of you dream of pursuing. According to your words, living there is equivalent to living in paradise. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have money."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Is it expensive?"
Su Mo asked very curiously.
"Each square meter is calculated based on tens of millions of star coins."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Robbery! You must know that the compensation for a Demun Empire is only 3 billion star coins. In other words, it can only buy 300 square meters at most. No, to be precise, it can't even buy 300 square meters.
"
Su Mo was also shocked by the price.
"That's the price. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it. The inner third ring road is the area we're going to now. This area is all commercial streets, and they're all doing business. The shops and buildings are also extremely expensive. But the good news is
You can rent it, and the rent is not particularly expensive.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say anything."
Su Mo had a look of helplessness on his face.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, continued to introduce: "The fourth ring belongs to the residential area of the lower class, where dragons and snakes are mixed. The survivors of the previous Cup of Heaven basically live in that area. Don't go there when you have nothing to do.
Go. You must know that those survivors have been lingering in the City of Stars for so long, and their money has been almost used up. There is nothing they can't do in order to survive. As for the remaining five-ring area, it is where you are now.
The port area is controlled by various major forces."
When Su Mo heard this, his eyes became serious.
"After you said this, I always feel that this city eats people without spitting out their bones."
"Tsk, tsk, I've said it before, Star Ring City is just a hypocrite. Do you know what is the cruelest thing, that is to give hope to a desperate person and then extinguish that hope with your own hands."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
Su Mo touched his forehead with a look of helplessness on his face.
.....
After a long time, Su Mo came to the Third Ring Commercial Street, which was still so lively.
There are people setting up street vendors everywhere.
Su Mo walked over and watched.
The items sold are still in a mess, and the prices are not expensive, only a few hundred star coins, and the most expensive ones are only hundreds of thousands of star coins.
The items sold in the shops along the streets will be more expensive.
Su Mo found a larger store and walked in.
At this time, a woman dressed very sexy and wearing ultra-low-cut clothes came forward with a smile on her face.
"Sir, what do you want? We have everything here, whether it's medicine or weapons."
"I'll just take a look."
Su Mo, on the other hand, was unusually low-key.
There are transparent display cabinets on both sides of the store, which contain virtual projections of various weapons with price tags on them.
Su Mo saw an IV-generation pure mechanical mecha at a glance.
This mecha is called Thunder Shadow's Light, and its name is very domineering. It sells for 3000W star coins.
Judging from the appearance and the published parameters, it looks very good.
At this time, the sexy woman saw Su Mo staring at the light of the thunder shadow, and immediately introduced her enthusiastically: "Sir, you really have a good eye. This is the trump card weapon of our store. Its performance is strong and its quality is superior. It is not an ordinary weapon."
The IV generation standard mecha is comparable."
Su Mo nodded slightly, then turned to look at the IV generation biological mecha next to him. The price was not expensive, the cheapest was only 1000W, and the most expensive was only 1500W.
Overall, pure mechanical mechas are more expensive.
Su Mo was extremely excited when he looked at this Thunder Shadow IV mecha.
However, at this time, the voice of the counterfeit owner, the Devourer, sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"What are you doing buying this crap?"
"Where is the garbage?"
Su Mo asked calmly.
"If you look at the label, it doesn't even indicate which country it was produced in. It's most likely just a brand-name assembled product. Let me tell you, when buying something in the City of Stars, you have to look for the manufacturer. Goods of the same model may not be produced in the same brand.
The output of the manufacturer is just different.”
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
"Sir, would you like to consider it? Our store is having an event today. If you want to buy it, you can get a discount. There are even extra surprises and services."
The sexy girl in front of me said with a smile.
Su Mo coughed and asked, "Excuse me, which manufacturer produced this weapon of yours."
Hearing Su Mo's words, the sexy girl in front of him stiffened slightly and said unnaturally.
"Sir, our store is in Halo City. This mecha is of course produced in Halo City."
"I'm afraid not."
Su Mo raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him and said.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Sir is really an expert. This weapon was made by the Uruk Kingdom. It is a customized mecha. You can rest assured about the quality. It is definitely better than those standard mechas. If you are interested, we can also provide you with the price.
We can talk."
"No thank you."
Su Mo said and left.
Although Su Mo was very excited, after all, the weapons were bought for his own use, so he had to buy better ones.
"See, what I said is right."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
"Let's go to the mechanical column. Tell me how to distinguish what is good."
Su Mo became more and more interested.
"Let me tell you this, the goods sold in the City of Stars. Except for those made by your selected civilizations and those plundered from other civilizations outside, the rest are all manufactured by the City of Stars and produced by the forces behind the scenes.
.The products produced are of different quality and prices depending on the manufacturer. For example, good IV-generation mechas can leapfrog and challenge V-generation mechas, but the garbage you have now simply cannot do it.
"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, introduced in a low voice.
"Uh-huh."
Su Mo quickly found the nearby mechanical pillar.
He clicked on the mechanical column and started flipping through the items for sale. He found that items of the same model were actually labeled with different manufacturers.
"How is the output of the Darkfall Empire marked above?"
"Not very good, a second-level country."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
"Where is this country of Khazhi?"
"More rubbish, a third-level country."
"But the price is cheap. Look at this IV-generation pure mechanical mecha, which only has 2000W."
Su Mo touched his chin and said.
“Can good products be obtained at a low price?”
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
"What about the White Moon and Starfall Empire?"
"Okay, this belongs to the first-level empire."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"No, it's too expensive. The same type of IV pure mechanical mecha is sold for 1 billion. What a robbery!"
Su Mo almost jumped up.
"This is not even the best. Let me tell you, among all the models, the one produced by Helos Technology Group is the top one. You will definitely not go wrong buying that model."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said coldly.
"Let me take a look."
Su Mo carefully checked the reference list and quickly found a standard IV generation mecha produced by Helos Technology Group.
When Su Mo saw the price above, his face twitched violently.
"Two billion star coins! An IV-generation pure mechanical mecha is sold at this price, so just go and grab it."
Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"It's just so expensive."
The owner of the counterfeit, the Devourer, replied indifferently.
Su Mo took a deep breath, and then said: "I won't argue with you, why don't you buy this one? This pure mechanical mecha is said to be produced in Star Ring City, and the price is super cheap, only 5000W.
That's all. If the City of Stars is so awesome, you can't say that the things it produces are not good."
"Of course there is nothing to say about the technology of Star Ring City, but its main customers are you poor people, so most of what it produces are cheap goods. Of course, the quality is guaranteed to be better than those of other brands, but mass-produced goods
, not much better."
The counterfeit owner, Devourer, responded.
"Can such high-end weapons be produced?"
Su Mo looked at the catalog in disbelief.
"Don't underestimate the power of Halo City. Look carefully at those catalog lists. Didn't you find that the standard mechas produced by Halo City are extremely cheap? That's because all the materials they use are secondary recycled materials.
What's more, when these standard mechas were originally designed, they maximized their combat effectiveness at the expense of shortening their service life, making them barely reach the threshold of the IV-generation mechas. As for those IV-generation biological mechas, many of them use
Monster vectors are mostly catalytically cultivated and cloned, and are incomparable to wild ones."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, explained the inside story to Su Mo bit by bit.
Su Mo was also shocked.
"Xiao Qi, if you say so, the quality of the Shadow of Light piloted by Wenluosi and the others, as well as those IV-generation biological mechas, are not that good?"
"It's not that good to begin with. Those are all produced in the City of Star Rings, so they can only be said to be ordinary."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Where's that pseudo-V-generation biological mecha, Youji?"
"That one is different. It was produced by another civilization and is not a cheap product. But it is not very good. It can only be said to be barely eye-catching. However, if you take the pseudo-V generation biological mecha - Youji,
Come to the City of Stars to sell it, package it, and you can completely disguise it as a V-generation mecha and sell it fraudulently."
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, explained.
"I see."
Su Mo touched his forehead and replied.
"If you want to buy something, just buy something produced by Helos Technology Group."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
"Tsk, tsk, is this Helos Technology Group really so awesome?"
Su Mo looked at it and clicked the filter button several times to bring out all the weapons and equipment produced by Helos Technology Group.
For a moment, he was frightened by the sight. Even though the prices of high-end weapons were very different.
Even the most basic missiles are nearly five to ten times more expensive than the missiles on the market!
"How can I buy this?"
Su Mo couldn't put it down at all. He always felt that it was too expensive and not cost-effective.
"If you want good things, you have to pay a high price."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Forget it, let's go to that grocery store and check it out."
Su Mo compromised decisively. Although he felt a little guilty, it was better than being taken advantage of outside.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't go?"
The Forger, the Devourer, asked rhetorically.
"I found out that you are also trying to bully people."
The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, simply ignored Su Mo's words and stopped speaking.
Su Mo sighed and walked towards the old man's shop.
Not long after, he arrived at the door of the inconspicuous shop. As soon as he arrived at Su Mo, he was dumbfounded.
Before the store even opened, there were so many people gathering at the door.
He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this store would become such a popular one.
Su Mo took a closer look and saw that the people waiting at the door had different identities, and the mechanical armors they wore looked very good.
And there are not only people from the Federation, but people from basically all countries.
Everyone was very wary of each other and had little communication with each other.
Only those who came together would exchange a few words in low voices with each other.
Su Mo pricked up his ears and listened carefully, hearing only a few words exchanged.
"I don't know if there will be any cheap and good products produced today."
"Things here are extremely expensive, but if you can buy them, you will definitely make a profit."
"I heard that too."
.....
Su Mo waited patiently and quietly.
After about an hour or so, the store door opened automatically.
But when I looked inside, there was no one inside.
People waiting outside saw the door open and walked in one after another.
Su Mo looked at the empty store and complained to the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, in his mind: "The old man is too trusting. He doesn't even look at the door when he opens it, and he's not afraid that the things will be stolen or robbed."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low voice: "People are capable of doing this. You can give it a try and see what the consequences are."
"Ahem, forget it, this is the Star Ring City after all."
Su Mo responded awkwardly.
"The City of Star Ring does not prohibit you from stealing and robbing. As long as you have the ability, you can do whatever you want."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"I don't believe it. It will be too late to cry when the time comes."
Su Mo responded in a good mood.
Then Su Mo began to browse the booths on both sides of the store. He found that after so many years, the items sold here were still the same. He couldn't help but cursed, this guy wouldn't go bankrupt because he couldn't sell the items because the prices were too expensive, right?
?
At this time, Su Mo looked at a dark V-generation mecha, his eyes shining brightly.
V-generation biological mecha·Light of Sinful Abyss.
Its appearance and texture are not outstanding.
However, after seeing the price, Su Mo gave up decisively. This mecha cost 100 billion star coins.
If Su Mo remembered correctly, he was in the mechanical column and saw the V-generation biological mecha produced by Star Ring City, which cost only 30 billion star coins.
"too expensive."
He couldn't help but say something.
At this time, Su Mo saw a very familiar IV-generation biological mecha. It said it was the IV-generation biological mecha - Dark Warrior!
The price tag is 1.2 billion star coins.
No matter how Su Mo looked, he looked like the Type IV biological mecha Dark Warrior piloted by Thulis.
No matter the appearance or every aspect, it is simply made from a template.
He couldn't help but ask the owner of the forgery, Devourer: "Look at this one, does it look like the one used by Thuris?"
"It's not like, it's the same model, just a different name."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, gave a clear answer directly.
"I remember the mechanical column. The Thulis unit only sold for about 1,500W. How dare you ask for 1.2 billion here?"
Su Mo suddenly felt that the world was too crazy.
"The manufacturers are different, so why is it strange? If you really want to buy it, I suggest you buy this one. As long as you are strong enough, it is not impossible to challenge this one by leaps and bounds."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said nonchalantly.
"I don't believe in any level challenge."
Su Mo couldn't help but shook his head.
At this moment, Su Mo's eyes fell on another piece of equipment.
Isn't this the V-generation armor set that he saw for the first time?
Sure enough, it didn't sell.
He talked to the owner of the counterfeit, Devourer, in his mind: "Who do you think would spend so much money and be taken advantage of to buy this equipment? With 10 billion star coins, you can buy level 5 ships and V-type mechas."
"Whatever you do if you buy those junk, they are all inferior goods. This set of equipment is worth the money. It can not only effectively reduce the pollution of driving biological mechas, but also greatly improve the user's strength, and can save lives at critical moments. Isn't that true?
Those cheap products can be compared. If you were wearing this set of equipment when you were piloting the pseudo V-generation mecha, Youku, how could it be so polluted? And if you buy a level 5 ship, you have
Are there so many people driving it? How much does it cost to maintain it later? Is there anything more important than saving lives?"
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, said to Su Mo.
"After what you said, it seems to make sense."
Su Mo didn't even notice that he seemed to be led astray.
"You need to look at your current situation. What do you need? To take a step back, if you are really asked to buy a junk pseudo-V or IV-generation biological mecha, would you dare to fly it?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
Su Mo touched his chin, thought for a while and replied: "It makes sense, but it's useless. It's too expensive and I can't afford it at all."
"You can bargain. How will you know if you don't try it or not?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Stop making trouble, I've tried it before."
Su Mo found it a bit funny. Of course he remembered that when he first came here, he took a fancy to this set of equipment and negotiated with the old man.
That guy is totally out of money.
At this moment, an old man with extremely shriveled skin, white and messy hair, and sunken eyes walked in like a ghost.
When Su Mo saw the old man again, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his nerves became tense, as if he had seen a terrifying monster.
The old man glanced at Su Mo from the corner of his eye, then ignored him and walked towards the counter.
At this time, a burly customer from the High Motos Empire walked up to the old man and negotiated in a low voice.
"Can things be cheaper over there?"
...
It's a pity that the old man kept his head down the whole time, as if he didn't hear what others were saying.
Seeing that the negotiations were fruitless, the big man's expression twisted for a while, and finally he gave up and left.
Everyone present looked at the extremely expensive goods and found that there were no cheaper ones. They shook their heads and left.
Soon, Su Mo was the only one left in the store.
At this time, the owner of the forgery, Devourer, was constantly communicating with Su Mo: "Go and give it a try."
"How do you try? I only have 2 billion star coins on me."
"Don't you still have two pieces of eternal metal?"
"Yes, there are two pieces, but how much are they worth? The official recycling price of the two pieces is only 250 million star coins. Even if you give them to the other party according to the real price, they are only worth 2.5 billion star coins. In other words, all
The total amount is only about 4.5 billion star coins. As you can see, everyone else who came up to negotiate met with a wall. How could that guy agree if he is so stingy?"
Su Mo replied helplessly.
"They are them, and you are you. How will you know if you don't try?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied in a low tone.
"Okay, give it a try and make you give up."
Su Mo responded helplessly.
So Su Mo walked up to the old man with a bit of uneasiness and said forcefully.
"How to sell that set of V-generation Tiansinxing armor?"
"10 billion."
The old man made a voice as dry as death.
The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched, and he said guiltily: "How about I exchange you for that set of equipment with 2 billion star coins and two pieces of eternal metal that add up to about 25KG?"
"good."
The old man raised his head and made a perceptive sound.
When Su Mo heard the old man's words, he stayed where he was.
Done?
His expression immediately became extremely exciting. If Su Mo wasn't sure that the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, was on his side, he would definitely think that he had been set up.
But even so, Su Mo still felt like he was being tricked.
"you sure?"
Su Mo asked in confusion.
ps: Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! I’ve been there too, (*^▽^*), bye!
