Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 396 Signs (Five in One)

Inside the central control room of the interstellar cruise ship Guangwei.

Dehaka leaned back in the command chair, his tense expression relaxed, and his face was filled with extreme fatigue.

Finally survived the brink of death.

At this time, green dots pop up on the scanning device.

When the operator saw it, he immediately reported it to Dehaka.

"Captain, the Federation's rescue fleet has been scanned."

After hearing this, Dehaka immediately gave the order.

"Immediately organize personnel to rescue the damaged Level 5 battleship Glory, and recover the battlefield aftermath."

"understand!"

"At the same time, broadcast a notification to everyone, telling passengers that the crisis is over!"

"Yes!"

The operator responded immediately.

More than an hour later.

Inside the hangar.

Su Ming, Shirisi and Orisa stood together and watched the damaged mechas being towed back.

"It's so tragic."

Orisa said with some emotion.

"This is how war works. This is already a relatively good outcome. If we lose, that would be a real nightmare."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"Yes."

Shirley responded in agreement.

Just then, a roar came from the side.

"Jot! Where's my mech?"

Su Ming and others heard the wailing and turned their heads to look over.

Hogeya lost all his composure and questioned Joet angrily.

Joet replied with a helpless look on his face.

"I was swallowed by a monster. There was nothing I could do. If I didn't run away, I would have died."

"Asshole, that mech is worth more than your life."

"You can't say that."

"It's over. I'm completely finished. 1000 billion is gone!"

Hogya wailed in agony.

The people around saw this scene and shook their heads helplessly.

Although the performance of that pseudo-V-generation mecha was very poor, no matter how poor it was, it was still a pseudo-V-generation mecha, and the price was still there.

At this time, two mechas carrying the fourth-generation mecha Lei Yu flew in.

Su Ming saw that Lei Yu was recovered, and said to Shilis and Orisa with some tiredness.

"It's almost over now. I'm a little tired, so I'm going to go back and rest first."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Su Ming."

Shirley nodded and replied politely.

"Ah."

Su Ming then turned and left.
-
The next day, in the afternoon.

Su Ming was sleeping soundly on the bed, and his bracelet vibrated from time to time.

Hey.

Su Ming's eyelids moved slightly, he opened his eyes drowsily, then raised his bracelet to take a look.

I saw several missed calls and numerous messages in the bracelet.

Most of this information was sent by Su Cheng through the family group.

Su Ming came to his senses and clicked on the message to check.

"Nephew Su Ming, how are you?"

"Say something back!"

"Are you okay? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"

"Nephew, please reply to my message. I'm so anxious."

Su Ming was also stunned when he saw the message, and then he looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day. He actually slept for a whole day and a night.

He quickly called Su Cheng back.

The communication was connected in almost seconds, and Su Cheng's voice immediately rang from the bracelet.

"Nephew Su Ming, you finally called back, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I was just too sleepy and slept a little longer."

Su Ming replied tiredly.

"I'm glad you're okay. Miss Shilis and Miss Orisa came to look for you early in the morning. But you didn't respond when they knocked on the door, so they came to my place."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. Miss Shilis and the others are still here with me. Do you want to come over too?"

Su Cheng asked with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Su Ming hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

He got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, then changed into a casual shirt and left.

After a while.

When Su Ming arrived at the weapons exhibition area, he saw that his company's booth was very lively and attracted a lot of spectators.

He then walked towards his own booth.

"Nephew Su Ming, you are finally here."

When Su Cheng saw Su Ming coming, he stepped forward and said happily.

"Well, Uncle Six, are there so many of us here?"

Su Ming asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's all thanks to you. You became famous in the battle yesterday, and these people came here specifically to see you and the mecha. I originally hadn't sold a single Lei Yu, but yesterday and today I've sold many."

Su Cheng said with a grin that made it hard to close.

At this time, many guests at the scene saw Su Ming and came forward excitedly and said.

"Mr. Su Ming, you are so amazing. Can I take a photo with you?"

"Uh, no problem."

Su Ming was slightly startled, then agreed.

"Great!"

Many guests excitedly came forward to take photos.

Click!

The flashes kept going off.

At this time, a middle-aged woman with long black hair, wearing black work clothes and holding flowers in her hands came up.

"Mr. Su Ming, I am the representative of the Guangwei, Vice Captain Dolly. Thank you very much for helping us in times of crisis. On behalf of the Guangwei, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."

Dolly handed the flowers in her hand to Su Ming and said with great gratitude.

"Too polite."

Su Ming replied modestly.

"There are two cards. One is the VIP card of our Guangwei Group. Holders of this card can enjoy all VIP treatment. The other is the black card of Morris Interstellar Bank. I give it to Mr. Su Ming."

Dolly then took out two cards and handed them to Su Ming.

"Thank you."

Su Ming accepted it politely.

At this time, the guests nearby saw this and shouted even more excitedly.

"Mr. Su Ming, take a photo with us."

Seeing that more and more people wanted to take photos, Su Cheng walked up and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry everyone, Mr. Su Ming still has some things to deal with, so I'll host a group photo with everyone later."

"Ok."

The guests present said with some regret.

"Excuse me, Su Ming, follow me."

Su Cheng hurriedly led Su Ming into the exhibition hall.

Soon they arrived in the reception room.

When Shilis and Orisa saw Su Ming coming in, they smiled brightly and waved to greet him.

"Su Ming, you are here."

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

Su Ming said apologetically to Shilis and the others.

"It doesn't matter. We just happen to be free."

"By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Nothing much, I just decided that the pseudo V-generation mecha will be ordered from the Thor Group."

Shirley replied with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Six, you draw up the contract."

Su Ming said very happily when he heard what Shilis said.

"Okay, I'll prepare the contract right away."

Su Cheng laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

Soon Su Cheng prepared a series of contracts.

Hillary signed the contract very readily, picked up a Morris Bank Star Diamond Card, and paid the full amount.

Su Cheng also spoke to Shiris with a smile on his face.

"Ms. Hillis, please rest assured that we will deliver the goods with the highest quality and speed, and we will never let you down."

"Ah."

Shirley nodded slightly and said.

"Ms. Shilis, thank you very much for choosing the Thor Group. If you have any problems with the mecha during use, you can also ask me and I will solve them for you."

Su Ming knew very well that Shiris chose to order the pseudo V-generation mecha, Thunder God, because of his face.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Su Ming."

Shirley replied in a good mood.

"Ms. Shilis, Ms. Orisa, there are too many people coming to the exhibition today. I have to help Uncle Six to entertain the guests, so I may not be able to entertain you."

Su Ming then said apologetically.

"It's okay, we'll help you entertain the guests too."

After listening to Su Ming's words, Shilis said with a smile.

"Really?"

Su Cheng almost jumped up with joy when he heard what Xi Lisi said. You know, Xi Lisi is very famous, and you can't hire her even if you have money.

Su Ming was also surprised when he heard what Shilis said, and replied hesitantly.

"Would this be too much trouble for you?"

"It's no trouble. I was able to get through yesterday thanks to you."

Shilis shook her head and said.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Su Ming responded with a silent smile.

The three of them then left the reception room and walked to the entrance of the exhibition hall to greet the guests.

The exhibition hall, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became extremely popular.

"Look, Miss Hillis!"

"And Mr. Su Ming!"

In an instant, a sea of ​​people rushed to the Raytheon Group's booth.

Soon the other booths gradually became deserted.

At the booth of Kefan Group.

Salison looked at everyone running to the Thor Group, and his expression suddenly lost its previous calmness, and his face was full of anger.

"Lord Sarison, what should we do now? Everyone has gone to the Thunder God Group."

"What can I do? I'm so pissed off!"

Sarison replied through gritted teeth.

at dusk.

Su Ming, Shiris and Orisa were busy entertaining the guests, taking photos with them and explaining the mechas of the Thor Group to them.

The popularity has not declined at all and is getting more and more popular.

Su Cheng signed one deal after another, his mouth almost crooked with smile.

But at this moment, the broadcast of Guangwei suddenly sounded.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, I am Captain Dehaka of the Light Dimension. We are about to arrive at the Federation border, the Turquoise Star Defense Line. However, due to the Federation's sudden temporary control, the Light Dimension will dock at the Turquoise Star Central Interstellar Airport and will no longer continue to sail to the third planet. Subsequent activities will be carried out on Turquoise Star. Passengers who need to go to other planets, please transfer on Turquoise Star. We will refund the ticket fee. On behalf of all the crew members of the Light Dimension, I apologize for the inconvenience caused!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned and started talking about it.

"what's the situation?"

"The ship won't fly to the third planet anymore?"

Su Ming frowned when he heard the broadcast, then turned to ask Shirley.

"Ms. Silis, can you ask Captain Dehaka what happened?"

"no problem."

Shiris nodded slightly, then sent a communication request to Captain Dehaka.

After a few seconds, Dehaka answered the call respectfully.

"Ms. Hillis."

"Captain Dehaka, what happened? Why is the ship suddenly not heading to the third planet?"

"Miss, I don't know what happened. I suddenly received a control notice from the Federation. I negotiated with them, but it was useless. The attitude of the Federation was very tough. They didn't allow us to fly in. We can only dock at Turquoise Star."

Captain Dehaka replied in a deep voice.

"You mean, not only can we not go to the third planet, but we can't go to other planets either?"

"correct."

"I see, thank you."

After saying this, Shilis hung up the call.

"It looks like something happened in the Federation. This kind of control is rare."

Orisa said helplessly.

Su Ming frowned slightly, his expression changed, and then he asked.

"Ms. Shilis, Ms. Orisa, what are you going to do next? Are you going to transfer to another ship and head to the third planet?"

"No, I have other plans, so I have to stay on the Guangwei."

Shilis shook her head and replied.

"Me too, Su Ming, what about you?"

Orisa immediately followed suit.

"I have to go back to the third planet. There are too many things to do."

Su Ming said calmly.

"That's such a shame."

Shirley replied regretfully.

"It doesn't matter. We will definitely see each other again if we have the chance."

Su Ming replied to Shirisi with a smile.

"Well, this is my business card. Mr. Su Ming, if you have anything to ask, call me."

Shiris took out a pink business card and handed it to Su Ming.

"it is good."

Su Ming reached out and took it.

At this time, Orisa said to Su Ming sincerely.

"Mr. Su Ming, please help me with that matter."

"Don't worry. Once you send me the documents, I will definitely talk to the legion commander and try my best to make this happen."

Su Ming also replied solemnly.

"Well, thank you very much."

Orisa replied gratefully.

"Okay, then I won't say any more to you. I'm going to say goodbye to Uncle Six and then go back to pack my things."

Su Ming then said goodbye to Shilis and the others.

"Okay, walk slowly."

Shilis and the other person nodded.

Su Ming turned and left, then walked up to Su Cheng and said.

"Sixth uncle!"

"Su Ming, you are here."

Su Cheng responded very happily.

"Well, Uncle Six, are you guys going back to the third planet?"

Su Ming asked.

"I'm not going back. Business is so good, so I have to stay and work a little longer. Thanks to you, I have completed my decades of achievements!"

Su Cheng replied with a grin that made him unable to close his mouth.

"Well, I have some things to deal with back on the third planet, so I'm getting ready to get off the ship."

Su Ming then said to Su Cheng.

"Ah, you're going back?"

"Ah."

"Well, be careful on the road. As for me, you can rest assured. I will transfer the commission to you after I sign all the orders."

Su Cheng said to Su Ming.

"Don't be so polite, we are all family."

"No, this is a family rule that cannot be broken. Just keep it."

"Ok."

When Su Ming heard Su Cheng say this, he did not refuse.

"By the way, Su Ming, when you have time, you must come to Sixth Uncle's house as a guest and let Sixth Uncle entertain you well."

Su Cheng invited enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'll leave first."

"Be careful on the road."

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded, then turned and left.

An hour later.

Su Ming brought Xiao Hui and walked down from the exit carrying the suitcase.

At this time, below the exit, there was a middle-aged male staff member in a blue uniform waiting for him.

"Hello, Mr. Su Ming. I am Zhao Lei, a ground staff member of Turquoise Star. Is this the cargo transfer service you applied for?"

"Yes."

Su Ming nodded and said.

"Please follow me, I will handle the formalities and storage of the goods for you."

Zhao Lei said to Su Ming.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao Lei, can I ask what happened in the Federation and why they suddenly implemented restrictions?"

Su Ming asked curiously as he followed Zhao Lei forward.

"Sorry, I don't talk about anything other than work."

Zhao Lei replied coldly.

"Ok."

When Su Ming heard Zhao Lei say this, he tactfully stopped asking any more questions.

Two hours later.

Interstellar Airport·Underground Storage Area No. 3.

bang~
With a dull sound, a fifty-meter-tall mechanical container fell heavily into the designated storage location.

At this time, Zhao Lei said to Su Ming.

"Mr. Su Ming, the goods have been transferred to the designated storage location. The parking fee here is 3000 federal coins per day. Any time less than 24 hours will be automatically converted into one day. The deposit will be automatically transferred back to your card after settlement. Do you have any other questions?"

"Nothing."

Su Ming replied politely.

"goodbye!"

Zhao Lei then turned and left.

Su Ming did not leave immediately.

He looked at the mechanical container in front of him, which was filled with smelted ore materials.

At this time, Su Ming was looking forward to his new mecha more and more.

He took a deep breath, then raised his bracelet to check the flight back to the third planet.

When I searched the results, I found that all flights were suspended.

Su Ming's brows suddenly frowned. The control was extremely strict. All flights were suspended.

He thought about it for a moment, then operated the bracelet and sent an application message to the Green Blue Star Military Command Center.

Within a few seconds, a message popped up.

"Dear Major General Su Ming, your application has been accepted. Please wait for a reply."

When Su Ming saw the reply, his expression eased a lot.

At this moment, he suddenly found an interstellar long-distance message in his mailbox.

Su Ming then clicked on the interstellar long-distance information.

"Su Ming, you are too much. I treated you as a brother, but you treated me like this. You knew Miss Shirley was on the ship, but you didn't take me with you. You value women over friends. I will never let you go. Just wait for me."

Su Ming looked at the message sent by Su Yuan, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he was in a very good mood.

Then he hung up the message and prepared to leave with his suitcase.

Before he could take a few steps forward, he ran head-on into a group of people wearing black windbreakers and hoods.

Su Ming became alert instinctively. Although he couldn't see the faces of these people clearly, their steps were very powerful and they didn't look like ordinary people at all.

At this time, a group of non-commissioned officers wearing second-generation exoskeleton armor and holding beam guns rushed towards Su Ming from the front.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a major's uniform, with acne marks all over his face and sharp eyes. He spoke coldly.

"Stop, where are you running to? Do you really think you can get away?"

At this time, the group of people in black windbreakers stopped, took out their beam guns, and attacked the non-commissioned officers who were blocking them.

Su Ming was sandwiched between the two groups and was immediately confused.

Then he moved to the right little by little to make room.

"Major Weida, do you really have to be so ruthless?"

At this time, a man wearing a black windbreaker and with a face full of flesh tore off his windbreaker, revealing the uniform of a federal major.

Su Ming was also stunned when he saw it. What was going on?
These guys in black windbreakers are also federal officers.

"Febabi, I've made it very clear. Mark killed someone here, and you can't take him away."

"Hmph, then I have to tell you, we are definitely taking the people with us today!" "You, the Fifth Legion, are so damn arrogant. Don't you see whose territory this is? Do you really think that we, the Seventh Legion, are vegetarians? I tell you, not only can he not leave today, you all have to stay too!"

Major Weida said very annoyed.

Just when the tension on both sides reached its apex, Su Ming coughed and asked.

"Stop! Can anyone tell me what happened?"

Veda and Feibabi looked at Su Ming at the same time and replied unhappily.

"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?"

"Hey, I'm Major General Su Ming. Is that how you talk to your superiors?"

Su Ming took out his ID from his pocket, opened it, and showed it to both parties.

Veda and Feibabi were also startled, then raised their hands and saluted.

"General!"

"Now you can tell me what happened."

Su Ming asked calmly.

When Major Weida heard Su Ming's words, he suppressed his anger and said.

"General, people from the Fifth Legion killed someone on the Emerald Blue Star, and this group of people wanted to take him away by force."

"Weida, watch your words. Our people did kill someone accidentally, but it is not your turn to judge. After we bring him back, we will naturally hand him over to the Legion for trial."

Feibabi said with a gloomy face.

"Bullshit! Do you think our Seventh Legion is just a decoration? And you are so audacious that you dare to kidnap prisoners openly. I tell you, each of you has committed a serious crime, and none of you can escape!"

Major Weda also laughed out of anger.

"We are not kidnapping, we are carrying out the orders issued by the legion. Our legion commander ordered us to bring Mark back."

Major Feibabi replied confidently.

Su Ming listened to the two people arguing, his brows were almost twisted into a mess, and then he spoke in a cold voice.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Although Major Weida and Major Feibabi glared at each other, they kept their mouths shut.

“Who is Mark?”

Su Ming asked expressionlessly.

"I'm."

At this time, a tall, muscular, bearded man replied in a deep voice.

"Tell me, who did you kill?"

Su Ming looked at Mark and asked.

After hearing what Su Ming said, Mark did not back down but spoke very firmly.

"I don't know the man I killed."

"I don't know him, why did you kill him?"

Su Ming asked patiently.

"We were drinking in the restaurant that day, and that jerk was speaking nonsense in front of me, slandering Lord Faroun, saying that the Lord was a traitor and was colluding with the Dark Star Empire. How could I tolerate him, so I picked up a beer and smashed it on his head. Who knew that the guy was just a show-off and died instantly."

Mark didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

After listening to Mark's words, Su Ming keenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked.

"Slandering Lord Faroen? Wait, the sudden martial law in the Federation recently, is it related to this matter?"

"Yes, General."

Major Weda nodded and replied.

"What exactly happened?"

Su Ming looked at Major Weida and asked.

"I'm not too sure, but there are rumors that the three city lords are colluding with the Dark Star Empire."

Major Weida replied with a somewhat unnatural expression.

When Su Ming heard this, his expression changed and he immediately spoke.

"Okay, I got the general idea. No matter what Feibabi said, Mark did kill someone on the Emerald Blue Star, and this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Legion. If you have any objections and want to take the person away, you should negotiate through official channels."

“We negotiated, but they didn’t agree.”

Feibabi replied helplessly.

"I disagree. You should continue to negotiate instead of recklessly snatching people. Let me be frank. If Weda and the others hadn't taken you into consideration as part of the Federation, they would have no problem killing you on the spot."

Su Ming scolded with a stern face.

When Feibabi heard Su Ming's words, they all lowered their heads.

After Su Ming finished scolding Feibabi, he turned his head and looked at Major Weida and said.

"Weida, take Mark back with you. As for Feibabi and the others, just for my sake, forget about it. After all, they are all our own people."

"Yes, General!"

When Major Weida heard Su Ming speak, he responded respectfully.

Mark didn't say anything, he just walked up to Veda and stretched out his hands.

Wei Da picked up the handcuffs and put them on Mark, then said to Su Ming.

"General, we'll be leaving first."

"Go!"

Su Ming nodded.

Major Weda then left with his men.

Feibabi and others said to Su Ming in a depressed mood.

"General, we are also going back to report."

"Well, don't be so reckless next time and think about the consequences. It was originally just a small matter, but after you guys messed it up, it turned into a big deal. Maybe the two legions will have to fight."

"understood."

"I understand. Let's go."

Su Ming didn't say much, just waved his hand and let them go.

Feibabi and others left dejectedly.

Su Ming felt a headache as he looked at the backs of the two gangs leaving.

hum~
At this moment, his bracelet vibrated and a message popped up.

"Dear Major General Su Ming, your voyage application has been approved. Please go to the S112 berth and board the Level 5 battleship Sea Breeze to return to the third planet."

Su Ming looked down at the message, then turned and left.

More than an hour later.

Su Ming arrived at the S112 berth and saw a 45-kilometer-long level 5 battleship covered with sky blue armor, with a shuttle-shaped hull and numerous launching ports on both sides.

At this time, at entrance No. 1, a man in colonel's uniform, with gray hair and high spirits, was waiting with a group of subordinates.

Seeing this, Su Ming walked towards them.

"General."

When these officers saw Su Ming, they saluted in unison.

"Ah."

Su Ming raised his hand in return.

"General, I'm Colonel Carven, and I'm in charge of your voyage this time."

Kavan said respectfully.

"Well, please send someone to help me transfer the goods to the ship."

Su Ming handed the storage list he had handled to Kaven.

"Yes!"

Kevin took it immediately.

After Su Ming finished his instructions, he walked up the gangway and boarded the Sea Breeze.

Sea Breeze.

In a spacious and bright room.

Su Ming sat on the sofa and raised his bracelet to log into the Star Forum.

He kept browsing the posts in the forum, but after a long time, he didn't see anyone discussing rumors or anything like that.

However, Su Ming did see an official clarification post, and he clicked on it to take a look.

"The federal government officially announced that all rumors circulating online about the three city lords colluding with the Dark Star Empire are false. These are all propaganda attacks by the enemy, and their purpose is to disrupt our internal order. We ask all citizens to remain rational and not be deceived. We hereby clarify this!"

After reading the announcement, Su Ming stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

If he guessed correctly, the Star Forum should be under federal control and all related information has been cleared.

When Su Ming thought of this, he closed the Qunxing Forum.
-
The next day, the third planet, outer space.

Ripples appeared in the dark starry sky, and the level 5 battleship Sea Breeze emerged from the subspace.

Su Ming stood on the observation deck, looking at the third planet in the distance with a bright smile on his face.

"Finally back."

Then he raised his bracelet and sent a message to Rhine, asking him to pick him up.

At this time, Colonel Kaven walked up to Su Ming and reported respectfully.

"General Su Ming, we are about to land at the Starlight City Interstellar Airport."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

Colonel Carven replied respectfully.

An hour later.

The level 5 battleship Sea Breeze landed steadily at the interstellar airport.

The flat ground cracked, and a giant metal grid rose up, extending a passage that fit the main landing exit.

Su Ming walked out of the boat carrying his suitcase and headed towards the underground passage.

Not long after, Su Ming came to the waiting hall with his suitcase.

"Monitor!"

Rhine, Ankajia and others came forward excitedly.

"You are all here."

Su Ming glanced over and saw that almost everyone in the class had arrived.

"That is required!"

Rhine smiled and took the suitcase.

"Well, Rhine, you arrange a few people to take my goods down and transfer them to the Fengdong, and the rest of you can come back to school with me."

Su Ming said in a very good mood.

"Okay, Mandy is in your hands."

Rhine arranged it directly.

"no problem."

Mandy responded immediately.

"Let's go!"

Su Ming nodded and said.

Not long after, at the Royal Court Academy dormitory building.

Su Ming and the others returned to their dormitories chatting and laughing.

"Ah, I'm finally back. I missed you so much!"

Su Ming looked at his bed and said with deep emotion.

"Squad leader, is your training going well this time?"

Rhine and others asked excitedly.

"Haha, it didn't go well. I almost couldn't come back."

When Su Ming heard Rhine and the others mention further studies, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Ah? Didn't you say that further study is easy?"

"What happened?"

Rhine and others were stunned.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you in detail when I have the chance. I'm now a major general, and I can officially form my own formation. I'll transfer all of you here and make you my personal guard!"

Su Ming formally said to Rhine and others.

"really?"

Rhine and others shouted with great joy.

"Of course it's true. I will also equip each of you with a fourth-generation mecha and form our own mecha formation."

Su Ming said to everyone in a very good mood.

He decided to find a way to form a personal guard team made entirely of fourth-generation mechas. After all, fighting alone would be too disadvantageous.

And we have to find a way to get the ships started. Without our own ships, it would be inconvenient to do anything.

"Fourth generation mecha? How much does that cost?"

Rhine and others were stunned.

"As for the money, don't worry. Once my mecha is ready, I will find a way to solve it. And I will also apply for funds from the Legion."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others.

"Great!"

Rhine and others cheered excitedly.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Let me ask you, what happened in the Federation? Why did I feel like the world has changed after only being away for half a year? The atmosphere is not right."

Su Ming asked Rhine and others in confusion.

"It's like this. Someone spread rumors online about City Lords Jakkers, Faloon, and Alysia, saying that they were colluding with the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse Empire."

Rhine said with a headache.

"Isn't this pure nonsense? Is there anyone who believes such a low-level rumor?"

Su Ming said helplessly after listening.

"You're right. We didn't believe it at first and didn't take it seriously. But the problem is that the people below have a lot of resentment. As a result, someone in Starlight City accused Lord Faron of being the traitor."

"How could Farron be a traitor? Isn't he a mortal enemy of the Dark Star Empire's Third Army?"

Su Ming said with a frown.

"Yes, they said that Lord Faron colluded with the Dark Star Empire and deliberately sent the troops to be surrounded in order to trick the federal troops into going out to die! When the people from Sky City heard this, they were immediately furious and accused Garx of being a traitor, saying that he did nothing and sold out his companions. They also said that our Thirteenth Legion was secretly colluding with the Dark Star Empire and performing a double act. Otherwise, how could we have penetrated the Dark Star Empire's defenses and returned safely."

Zhang Yi also spoke to Su Ming in a serious tone.

"They are so bold to say that."

The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's not just that. The people of Rain City originally stood up to act as peacemakers, but many people from Sky City and Starlight City stood up to confront them and directly opened fire. They said that the city lord Alicia was full of evil intentions and colluded with the Apocalypse Empire. She deliberately kept her troops in place and watched the federal troops being beaten by the Dark Star Empire! For a while, everyone was blaming each other, but the problem was that there were a lot of idiots who followed suit, and soon the situation got out of control. There were fights everywhere, and there were even deaths."

Rhine added with a headache.

"What are the reactions of the three city lords?"

Su Ming asked with a frown on his face.

"The three city lords were also very angry. Isn't this definitely shaking the foundation? So they issued a martial law order and sent people to arrest people. Now there are a lot of people in prison, and everyone is begging for help to release them."

Rhine said helplessly.

"Forget it, let's not get involved in these matters. Let's just do our own thing."

Su Ming spoke rationally.

"Yes."

Rhine and others responded in unison.

"I have two things for you to do. One is to keep an eye on the cargo that is being transported to the Fengdong. The other is to keep an eye on this plant and make sure it is not lost."

Su Ming opened the suitcase, took out the pot of plants and handed it to Rhine.

"What kind of plant is this? I've never seen it before. Is it valuable?"

Rhine took it and asked curiously.

"Well, it's worth some money, maybe 1000 billion."

Su Ming replied calmly.

"Oh my god, it's so expensive! Boss, are you kidding us?"

Rhine and others were suddenly startled.

"Do you think I'm a joker?"

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Let's take turns watching it. If it's really lost, even if we sell ourselves we won't be able to pay for it."

Rhine and his men swallowed their saliva and spoke under great pressure.

"Don't be so nervous, just relax. I won't talk to you anymore, I have to go to the parliament to do some business."

Su Ming said to Rhine and others.

"it is good!"

Rhine and others nodded.

"Ankaja, give me the keys to my black supercar."

Su Ming turned and said to Ankajia.

"To the boss!"

Ankajia took out the key and threw it to Su Ming.

"gone."

Su Ming took the key and left.
-
City of stars.

Outside the Federal Government Executive Building.

Su Ming parked the black supercar in the designated parking space, then got out and walked towards the building.

When he entered the building and came to the lobby, it was full of staff and officers, and it was very lively.

Su Ming walked straight to the back door.

A moment later, Su Ming arrived at the 7th floor of the Parliament Tower.

When he walked out of the elevator, he came to a huge circular lobby.

The entire hall is very lively, with many officers doing business here, and clear signs can be seen at each business window.

Su Ming saw the window for reimbursement at a glance.

He then followed the procedure, walked to the self-service machine in the corner of the hall, printed out the reimbursement form, filled in his information, and then walked towards the reimbursement window.

When he approached, he saw a big man with a crew cut, wearing a major's uniform and a bold personality, shouting at a man in work clothes and with a moustache in the window.

"You guys are too stingy. You're just giving me a second-hand Lancer as compensation?"

"if not?"

"At least give it to Taishin!"

"Why give me a new one? Your Lancer was a second-hand one when it was put into service. I don't know how many years it has been used. What's the problem with me giving you a second-hand one as compensation?"

"Yes, it's a big problem. I broke it for the Federation, so they should compensate me with a new one."

"Dream on! You want a new one, and he wants a new one too. Where does the Federation get so much money? And if a new one is so easy to replace, then when everyone wants to replace it with a new one, they won't take care of their mechas and will ruin them. What will happen then? Do you want this second-hand one or not?"

"want"

The big man also replied awkwardly.

Su Ming thought about it carefully. Although what the staff member said was unpleasant, it was indeed reasonable. He walked to the waiting chair behind the window and sat down.

He took out the reimbursement form, looked at the application for material exchange, and muttered.

"It's fairly fair here, so it shouldn't be a problem to exchange materials."

At this time, a handsome and cheerful man wearing a colonel's uniform was sitting next to Su Ming. When he saw the reimbursement form in Su Ming's hand, he asked curiously.

"Brother, are you here to get reimbursed as well?"

"Yes."

"What generation of mecha did you write off?"

"Fourth generation, what about you?"

Su Ming opened his mouth and replied.

"What a coincidence. I also have a fourth-generation mecha, but I don't plan to get the mecha directly. I plan to try and see if I can exchange it for materials, and then find someone to customize a better mecha."

The man said in a good mood.

"I'm also planning to change the materials."

Su Ming didn't expect that there would be someone who would do the same thing as him. It looks like there's hope."

"Really? That would be great."

When the man heard Su Ming's words, he was delighted that he had met a companion who was doing the same thing as him.

"Next!"

At this time, the window staff shouted.

"coming!"

The man immediately stepped forward and handed the materials to the staff.

The staff member looked at the same material and spoke.

"Zhou Rui, what you destroyed was a 70% new fourth-generation mecha, Shadow Killer. Now I will compensate you with a similar Shadow Killer."

"Brother, I don't want the mecha. Can you exchange it for a level 5 titanium ore of equal value?"

Zhou Rui said with a smile on his face.

"No, what are you all thinking? This is not a conservation window, so how can I have so many conditions? There are only two choices: either change the mecha or buy it yourself. There is no material!"

The staff in front of him also scolded Zhou Rui.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Zhou Rui responded with a bitter face.

"Choose quickly, money or mecha."

"Can you let me think about it?"

"Stand aside and think about it. Next!"

The staff member shouted impatiently.

Su Ming walked over with a nervous heart. This time he was in trouble. Zhou Rui had failed.

Soon Su Ming walked to the window, picked up the materials and handed them to the staff.

The staff member took Su Ming's materials and took a look at them. His expression changed slightly. Then he looked up at Su Ming, then looked down at the name filled in on the materials, and said in a very good manner.

"Are you General Su Ming?"

"Yes."

Su Ming nodded slightly in response.

"I took a look at your application form. What you destroyed was a brand new advanced fourth-generation custom mecha. Do you want to exchange the materials?"

"Yes, I want to exchange all of them for level 5 titanium ore."

"No problem. Your mecha is valued at 300 billion federal coins. I will exchange all of it for titanium ore according to the federal government's material purchase price."

The staff in front of him said with a smile.

Su Ming was also very surprised when he heard it. So smooth?
However, he immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the unusual situation. It must be that Deputy City Lord Oakens had given a warning in advance.

At this time, Zhou Rui, who was standing next to him, heard what the staff said and was immediately furious.

"No, why can he change the materials but I can't?"

"The mechas that were damaged while they were performing meritorious services for the Council should of course be treated with respect."

"No, I was also damaged while on a mission for the Federation. You can't be partial to one and treat the other the same."

"How dare you say that? You were performing a reconnaissance mission, but how could you destroy the mecha? Did you do it on purpose? I haven't verified the authenticity of the information you reported. How about you bring it to me and I'll send it to the assessment team for verification."

The staff member retorted unhappily.

"No, I was wrong. I was just complaining."

Zhou Rui immediately became timid.

If there is any problem in the verification, he won't even be able to get reimbursement.

The staff member snorted coldly, then ignored Zhou Rui, picked up the seal and stamped it on Su Ming's application materials, then said to Su Ming.

"General Su Ming, I have already completed the formalities for you. However, it will take some time to prepare the materials. Once they are ready, I will notify you."

"Okay, thank you."

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.
