The old man coughed a few times and said to Su Mo in a cold voice: "I have a task here. If you can do it well, the additional cost of 10 trillion star coins will be paid for you."
"Whatever mission you want, just tell me! As long as I don't let me create a rebellion in Halo City, anything will do!"
Su Mo replied swornly.
"Don't be so confident. What I want is very dangerous. Deep in Ceres, there is something called the Fruit of Para. It grows in the area with the strongest negative energy pollution. I want you to take it away within a year and a half.
return."
The old man said while coughing violently.
"Fruit of Para? What is that? I've never heard of it. And are you sure that fruits will grow on a planet like Ceres, where the environment is so harsh that even wearing mechanical armor is unbearable?"
Su Mo felt very incredible.
"The specific information is here."
The old man took out a small box and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo's expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to take it. He was not naive enough to think that this task was easy to accomplish.
If this task is worth 10 trillion, it is destined to be extremely difficult.
There was also a time limit, so Su Mo tried to ask, "Old man, this Para Fruit should be used to heal your body, otherwise why is there a time limit?"
"Yes, so you must find it within the specified time. If you can, the sooner the better!"
The old man didn't hide anything from Su Mo.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find it within a year and a half."
Su Mo hurriedly patted his chest and promised that joking would not cause anything to happen to the old man, otherwise where would he get credit in the future? Besides, he was still counting on him for his mecha.
"Well, cough..."
The old man didn't say much, he just kept coughing.
It can be seen that he is indeed feeling unwell.
"I'm going to prepare now. By the way, I have something to tell you. When you are processing the Crazy-Eye Rainhawk, don't erase the remaining consciousness in it."
When Su Mo was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and quickly gave instructions to the old man.
Hearing Su Mo's words, a strange look flashed in the old man's eyes. However, he didn't say much and just replied coldly.
"I see."
"Where are the materials sent?"
Su Mo asked quickly.
The old man picked up a pen and wrote an address on the paper, then tore it off and handed it to Su Mo.
"Okay, I'll ask the people below to send it over. By the way, how long will it take to get my mecha? Can it be used in time for me to go to Ceres?"
Su Mo asked expectantly.
"Come back and pick it up in three years."
The old man replied directly without thinking.
"Damn, three years is so long."
Su Mo was stunned. He thought it would be done in a month at most.
"Do you think the V-generation biological mecha is so easy to build? Not to mention that yours is not an ordinary V-generation mecha. It can be built for you within three years. I have people working overtime and going all out to build it.
, if you dislike being slow, you can find someone else."
The old man replied coldly.
"No, no, just three years. Actually, I'm not too slow, it's mainly for you."
Su Mo quickly explained.
"for me?"
The old man looked unbelieving.
"It's really for you. I'm going to Ceres to find medicine for you. You also know how dangerous Ceres is. How can I explore this mecha without taking advantage of it? I just thought that the mecha was built, and I just happened to get it.
Go explore and help you find things and bring them back as soon as possible."
Su Mo vowed, as if he was thinking about the old man's health.
Although the old man didn't believe what Su Mo said at all, in general, what Su Mo said made sense.
So the old man took out another box from behind the counter and handed it to Su Mo, saying coldly.
"What is placed here is the activation key of the V-generation biological mecha, the Light of Sinful Abyss. I will have that mecha sent to your ship and lend it to you first."
"Didn't you say that this mecha cannot be seen in the light and cannot be discovered by Star Ring City? Is it okay for me to use it like this?"
Su Mo's eyes lit up, but he asked with some concern.
"As long as you don't use it in the Ring City, you can use it in the outer star field, on Ceres, but will the City of the Ring have access to you?"
The old man replied coldly.
"It makes sense, then I'll accept it."
Su Mo thought about it carefully and replied happily, now all his worries were solved.
"Go, remember to bring the things back to me within a year and a half, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
The old man gave this rare instruction again, which has never happened before. It can be seen how much he attaches importance to it, and it also indirectly shows that his physical condition is no longer optimistic.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay."
Su Mo immediately took the things and left the grocery store.
The old man looked at Su Mo's leaving figure, his cloudy eyes swaying.
...
When Su Mo left the grocery store, he was in a very happy mood. The matter was finally settled.
"Xiao Qi, tell me, isn't my mecha the pinnacle of the V generation? With my blessing later, can it match the VI generation mecha? Is there any chance to challenge it beyond the level?"
He picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Sun Duoxiang, asking him to deliver the materials, while speaking to the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
"The gap between Generation VI and Generation V is like a natural hazard. It seems close, but it can make you extremely desperate. In my impression, there is only one person who can cross this gap, so don't dream."
The Forger, the Devourer, retorted without hesitation.
"That's too much. Are you looking down on me?"
"I'm telling the truth. Your current level can only be said to be excellent, but it's still not up to the heaven-defying level. There is still a long way to go in the future, but I can't blame you. Who made your starting point so low?
.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, analyzed rationally.
"Then what if I add you, is there any chance?"
Su Mo asked angrily.
"have!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied without hesitation.
"Damn it, you really have double standards. When you talk about yourself, you don't even hesitate."
Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"I am the Creator, I am God myself, there is nothing to hesitate about!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied without hesitation.
"You are fake..."
"That's not something you, a genetically trashy carbon-based life, can evaluate."
"That's too much. You are firing a map cannon..."
"What I said is the truth..."
...
At dusk, Su Mo was complaining to each other about the forger, the Devourer, while walking towards the Shadow, the shadow getting longer and longer.
