Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 397 Night Owl

Chapter 397 Night Owl (Five in One)

City of Stars, on the Ring Road.

Su Ming was driving his black supercar at high speed, glancing at the street scene behind him from time to time.

The once bustling street scene was now very deserted. There were not many people on the road. There were only patrolling personnel and various holographic advertisements that were still playing in a loop.

Su Ming's heart sank slightly and he stepped on the accelerator.

The speed of the dashboard keeps climbing.

Not long after, Su Ming drove a supercar to the headquarters of Thor Group.

A very magnificent and peculiar building came into view. The entire building was made of silver metal. In the center was a giant silver sphere that was three hundred meters high. Four metal corridors extended around it, connecting four silver spheres that were one hundred and fifty meters high.

As soon as Su Ming's car arrived at the gate, it was stopped by the security guard.

"Please identify yourself."

A middle-aged man with a rough face and wearing second-generation blue exoskeleton armor walked forward to verify.

Su Ming picked up his ID and handed it over.

"Su Ming."

"Master Su Ming, please!"

The security captain on duty took a look and immediately said respectfully.

"Let me ask you, in which area does my grandfather Su Zhentian work?"

"Deputy Chief Su works in the west building. That area has been allocated to him."

"Thank you."

Su Ming drove a black supercar towards the silver sphere on the west side.

He parked the car in front of the spherical building, then got out and walked inside.

When he entered the building and came to the luxuriously decorated lobby, he saw many busy staff members.

At this time, Su Ming saw a familiar figure.

Mr. Jiang Yu was seen wearing the uniform of the Raytheon Group, with a badge of lobby manager on his chest, directing some visiting guests.

Su Ming stood there and waited for a while. After Jiang Yu finished directing the guests, he walked up to him and greeted him.

"Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Yu was also stunned. When he turned his head and saw Su Ming, a bright smile appeared on his face and he said happily.

"Master Su Ming, you are back."

"Well, teacher, are you working here now?"

Su Ming nodded and asked.

"Yes, I was transferred to Raytheon Group as the front office manager."

Jiang Yu replied in a good mood
"Well, is my grandpa here?"

Su Ming's expression shook slightly, but soon returned to normal, and then he asked.

"The masters are all having a meeting at the headquarters. I'll take you there."

Jiang Yu said to Su Ming.

"Okay, thank you, teacher."

Su Ming replied very politely.

"It's a small matter, over here."

Jiang Yu led Su Ming towards the main building.

Not long after, Jiang Yu led Su Ming to the outer corridor of the conference room in the main building.

Two big men wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor and with fierce eyes stretched out their hands and stopped Su Ming and the other man.

"It's a meeting room inside, no one is allowed to enter."

"This is Master Su Ming."

Jiang Yu said to them.

They glanced at Su Ming and then spoke politely.

"Master Su Ming, you can come in. Manager Jiang Yu does not have enough authority."

After Su Ming heard this, he said to Jiang Yu.

"Teacher, I'll go in first."

"Okay, I have to go back to work too."

Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

Su Ming nodded and walked in.

He walked through the long corridor and came to the door of the conference room.

Su Ming gently pushed open a door and took a look inside.

A huge trapezoidal conference room came into view, filled with core members of the Su family and executives of the Raytheon Group.

Among them, Patriarch Su Feng, Deputy Patriarch Su Yiyang, Deputy Patriarch Su Tianhao and Deputy Patriarch Su Zhentian sat in the first row.

At this time, Su Mulong was standing on the conference table and said angrily.

"Damn it, this time the resource quota of the Federal Parliament was seized by that old guy from the Kefan Group, and he got a larger share than us! But this matter is not over yet. This year, our performance must be far better than theirs, and we are not allowed to let them down. Do you hear me?"

"Yes."

Everyone replied with a serious expression.

"Also, we must speed up the research and development of new products! We cannot fall behind the Kefan Group."

"clear."

"Okay, Su Feng, you go next."

After Su Mulong vented his anger, he said to Su Feng.

Su Feng immediately stood up and spoke to everyone.

"Everyone, the New Year is coming soon. Everyone here should work harder! This year is the first time that the federal government has relaxed the control of arms sales. We can sell large quantities to friendly neutral countries and buy rare materials. We should seize this opportunity, especially us, the chiefs and deputy chiefs, who should take the lead."

"understand!"

Su Yiyang nodded in response.

"Let me briefly talk about the sales situation up to now!"

Su Feng announced to everyone.

Swish!
Rows of names suddenly appeared on the virtual screen.

Deputy Clan Leader Su Tianhao: 10 Lei Yus.

Patriarch Su Feng: 8 Thunder Guards.

Deputy Clan Leader Su Yiyang: 5 Thunder Guards.

Aike Sales General Manager: 3 Leiyu

Su Zhentian 0 units.

As soon as this data was made public, the people below began to discuss it in low voices.

"Su Tianhao is really awesome. He actually sold 10 units!"

"Yeah, look at Su Zhentian, he hasn't sold any of them."

When Su Zhentian, Su Yao and others heard the published data, their expressions also looked a little ugly.

On the other hand, Su Tianhao on the side had a smug look on his face.

You have to know that the fourth-generation mecha of Raytheon Group, Lei Yu, is priced at about 120 billion, which is not a small amount of money.

Those who can buy it must be very rich and on the federal white list.

This is a real test of your connections and relationships.

Su Zhentian has just succeeded as deputy clan leader for a short time, and it is impossible for him to be better than Su Tianhao and others in a short time.

At this time Su Mulong spoke in a deep voice.

"Tianhao did a good job. As for Zhentian, you just took over as deputy clan leader. It's normal that you are not familiar with the business, but you still need to work hard."

"clear."

Su Zhentian nodded in response.

"Okay, today's meeting ends here. Everyone must work hard to develop the business. At the end of the year, we will reward everyone based on their performance!"

Su Mulong said to everyone.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded one after another.

"Let's break up!"

Su Mulong raised his hand and waved, announcing the end of the meeting.

Everyone stood up and walked out while talking.

"Did you see that? Su Zhentian didn't sell any of his units."

"Of course I saw it. I had already said he was not good enough. He was not suitable for that position at all."

"That makes sense. He's far inferior to Su Tianhao."

The moment they opened the door of the conference room, they saw Su Ming standing outside.

The people who were talking were startled for a moment, and then they all shut their mouths with an unnatural look.

Although Su Ming has only returned to the Su family not long ago, his status in the entire Su family is very high because of his military rank and strength, and he is deeply loved by the old patriarch Su Mulong.

Su Ming also noticed the embarrassment of these people, but he didn't care too much about it.

At this time Su Zhentian came out with Su Yao and others. They were also surprised when they saw Su Ming.

"Su Ming."

"Grandpa, uncle"

Su Ming smiled and greeted them one by one.

At this time, Su Mulong, Su Feng and others also came out.

He was also surprised to see Su Ming coming back, so he asked.

"Su Ming, when did you come back?"

"Just came back not long ago."

Su Ming responded with a smile.

"Is your training complete?"

Su Mulong asked in a deep voice.

"I have completed my training and have been promoted to a full-time employee. I will report back to the corps in a few days."

Su Ming replied simply.

"congratulations!"

When Su Feng and others heard this, they all smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, uncle, uncle"

Su Ming thanked him modestly.

At this time, Su Mulong turned his head and looked around, then asked with a gloomy expression.

"Su Ming, where's Su Yuan? Didn't he come back with you?"

"Well, Su Yuan, after he finished his training, he suddenly received an urgent mission, saying that the Abyss of Desolation was in urgent need of help and urgently summoned him back, so he rushed to the Abyss of Desolation to report."

Su Ming coughed and replied with a guilty conscience.

"Bullshit! Who are you trying to fool? How can he be so positive? I don't think he dares to come back! Damn it, he spent 20 billion to compete with others just for a meal! This brat really pissed me off."

Su Mulong cursed angrily.

Seeing the old patriarch furious, the surrounding executives and Su family members quickly fled.

Patriarch Su Feng's face turned very ugly, and he tried to persuade him with gritted teeth.

"Father, this child Su Yuan."

Before Su Feng could finish his words, Su Mulong turned around and started cursing at him.

"Shut up! If you continue to spoil him, you will be spoiled sooner or later! This brat has made the headlines. Which family doesn't know him now?"

Su Feng was scolded so hard that he couldn't even raise his head.

Su Ming felt helpless when he saw Su Mulong so angry, but he couldn't blame him for being so angry.

Twenty billion is not a small amount of money. No matter how big and powerful the Raytheon Group is, it cannot afford such squandering.

However, Su Ming still took the initiative to persuade him.

"Grandpa Zeng, don't be so angry. Su Yuan has also realized his mistakes, and I have helped him reflect deeply. In addition, he has also worked very hard during this period. Not only has he successfully graduated from further studies, but he has also made many contributions."

"Okay, stop speaking for that brat. How could I not know what kind of person he is? Is there something going on when you return to the family this time?"

Although Su Mulong said this, his anger had subsided a lot.

After hearing what Su Mulong said, Su Ming hesitated for a while and finally spoke.

"Yes, great-grandfather, can we talk alone?"

"follow me."

After Su Mulong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Su Ming hurriedly followed.

Su Zhentian then left with Su Yao and others.

At this time, Su Tianhao looked at the backs of everyone leaving and said to Su Feng with a smile.

“Ah, both are geniuses of the younger generation, but it seems that Su Ming is more favored by the old man than Su Yuan!”

Su Feng frowned and replied coldly.

"What's so strange about that? He's such an outstanding kid. If I were him, I would like him too."

"Right."

Su Tianhao smiled.

Not long after, Su Ming followed Su Mulong into a luxurious office.

The office's interior decoration style is very retro, and all the furniture is made of red blood wood.

"sit down!"

Su Mulong walked to the back of the desk and sat down, saying in a deep voice.

"it is good."

Su Ming pulled a chair and sat down.

"Tell me what it is."

Su Mulong asked straight to the point.

"It's about the pseudo V-generation mecha."

Su Ming decided to tell Su Mulong the truth and didn't want to go around in circles.

"Have you found all the materials?"

Su Mulong asked in surprise.

"Almost done. I found three pieces of Eternal Metal added to the pseudo V-generation mecha, and a large amount of Level 5 Titanium Ore."

"So much material?"

"Yes, I want to use pure level 5 titanium ore and eternal metal to make an advanced pseudo-V generation mecha."

"That's great! I'll arrange for someone to make it for you right away."

"But."

"But what? Just say it directly, don't be so fussy."

"I feel like the family's Thunder God's performance is a little lacking."

Su Ming said while carefully observing Su Mulong's expression.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Su Mulong frowned, but he quickly calmed down and spoke seriously.

"Su Ming, I understand what you mean. But the strongest mecha weapon currently produced by the family is the pseudo-V generation mecha Yu Lei Shen. There is no weapon with better performance."

"I know, so I'm kind of trying to find another way to order it."

Su Ming said after a moment of hesitation.

After hearing what Su Ming said, Su Mulong was not angry, but spoke to him very seriously.

"Su Ming, I don't mind you ordering from other channels. But you may not know one thing. Even the weapons produced by the Kefan Group are only slightly better than ours, not much better. If you want to meet your standards, I guess only those who produce V-generation mechas can do it!"

"Who can produce V-generation mecha?"

Su Ming asked curiously when he heard this.

"Only the Federation, Apocalypse, Dark Star, and Saint Joe can produce V-generation mechas in this world. They control and produce all V-generation mechas. But they will never produce them for individuals, they will only distribute them to their subordinates. In other words, the highest level of weapons that individuals can own in this world is a pseudo-V-generation mecha. If you want to customize a high-level pseudo-V-generation mecha, to put it bluntly, it will touch these existences and they will not accept your order. Therefore, you should consider the family's Thunder God."

Su Mulong said to Su Ming very seriously.

After Su Ming heard Su Mulong's words, he was also somewhat touched. Sure enough, the world's top weapons were all controlled by the four forces.

If I'm not mistaken, Shabask's V-generation mecha should have been obtained from one of the four forces at a huge price.

For a moment, Su Ming frowned. Although it was not bad to use those materials to build the Thunder God, it was not the most perfect solution, and he was somewhat unwilling to do so.

At this time, Su Mulong also saw that Su Ming was somewhat unwilling and wanted to pursue a better mecha, so he spoke.

"Su Ming, if you really want a better mecha, you can only go to the Dragon Pattern Group."

"Dragon Pattern Group?"

Su Ming was slightly stunned and replied.

"The Dragon Mark Group is the leader of the seven major arms dealers in the Federation. Their pseudo-V generation mechas are the best. I have some connections with the patriarch of the Dragon Mark Group. If I put down my old face and ask for a favor, he should agree."

Su Mulong said to Su Ming in a deep voice.

"That's too much trouble, Grandpa Zeng. Actually, I want to try my luck in Xiguang Laboratory."

Su Ming took a deep breath and replied.

When Su Mulong heard Su Ming's words, his face suddenly changed and he said in shock.

"Xiguang Laboratory? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Xiguang Laboratory is directly under the command of the Chairman of the Council, and they don't give face to anyone. I have never heard of them custom-making mechas for anyone. They will definitely not accept your order."

"I know it's difficult, but I still want to try. If it doesn't work, I'll come back to bother you again."

Su Ming said after a moment's hesitation. He didn't say it too firmly, leaving himself some room for maneuver.

When Su Mulong heard Su Ming's words, he was even more shocked. The vision of his great-grandson was really extraordinary and completely exceeded his expectations.

Su Mulong's expression changed, he took a deep breath, then slapped the table and said.

"Fuck you, since you've made up your mind, just go for it. It's a blessing for our Su family to have a genius like you. If you need any help, just come back and tell me!"

"Thank you, great-grandfather."

Su Ming said gratefully.

"Why are you being polite? Have you eaten?"

"No."

"Let's go, have dinner together and have a drink with me."

"it is good!"

Su Ming smiled and responded.
-
The next morning.

The entrance to the S area of Starlight City.

Su Ming drove over in a black supercar.

The guarding soldier raised his hand to stop the vehicle and spoke to Su Ming in a deep voice.

"Sir, Area S is a special restricted area. You cannot enter without specific permissions and a pass."

Su Ming directly took out the identity card of Xiguang Laboratory.

The soldier in charge of guarding checked it and saluted immediately.

"Sir, please come in!"

Su Ming then drove in and arrived at Building No. 1 of Xiguang Laboratory.

He got off the car carrying a metal box, then passed through the security gate, entered the building smoothly, and came to the lobby of Building 1.

The hall is round and very spacious. The floor and walls are made of silver metal, giving people a very cold feeling.

Everywhere there were researchers wearing white research coats and holding various documents in their hands, walking hurriedly.

Su Ming looked around and walked to the guidance desk next to him.

"How can I help you, sir?"

A pretty girl with bright eyes and wearing a white work suit asked politely.

"I want to ask, is Dr. Blacks in the lab? Where exactly?"

When the girl in front of him heard Su Ming's words, she froze in place.

Su Ming even saw a hint of panic in the other person's expression. It was obvious that the girl didn't know how to answer.

"Ahem, I'm an official member of Xiguang Laboratory and have the authority to see the doctor."

Su Ming picked up the black pass and flashed it.

After seeing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and quickly spoke.

"The doctor is in the lab, on the seventh floor. You can take that elevator and swipe your card to go up!"

"Thank you."

Su Ming replied politely, turning and walking towards the elevator.

Soon Su Ming entered the elevator, picked up the pass card, swiped it, and pressed the button for the 7th floor.

The elevator door closed and rose quickly.

Hey~
Along with a clear voice, the tightly closed door opened.

Su Ming walked out of the elevator and came to a long corridor, where stood soldiers wearing third-generation exoskeleton armor.

They immediately turned around and scanned Su Ming, and verified his identity again. After confirming that it was correct, they stood there motionless.

Su Ming walked straight in and soon reached the end.

A huge laboratory comes into view, filled with various instruments and equipment.

Su Ming walked in and saw Dr. Blacks and a middle-aged man wearing a black windbreaker, with a cold temperament, sinister eyes, and a faint smell of blood, standing in front of a huge operating table.

The two looked at the data and information that Celis was constantly generating. Seeing this, Su Ming walked over and stood next to Blacks.

The middle-aged man also turned his head and glanced at Su Ming gloomily.

Su Ming instinctively sensed extreme danger, the feeling was like being stared at by a poisonous snake.

At this time, Blacks looked at Su Ming calmly, then turned his head and continued to look at the operation screen and said.

“Celis, continue!”

"Yes!"

Celis then released a video.

In the dark room, City Lord Faron and Prime Minister Rogelian of the Dark Star Empire were plotting.

"Lord Faroen, the development of Sky City in recent years is obvious to all. You are the most powerful and talented person in the Federation. Why do you have to put yourself in a difficult position and endure the wrath of that old man Jakkers?"

"Humph, I've been annoyed with that old guy for a long time, but the problem is that I don't have the chance to deal with him."

"Lord Faroen, now is your chance. As long as you send your troops to the Danube Sea, our troops will surround yours, and you can legitimately force Jakkers to send out his troops. At that time, we can destroy his troops and cut off his hands and feet, and Jakkers will be severely damaged."

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Don't worry, I have already set the trap and am waiting for the prey to come out."

"it is good!"

Su Ming watched this video with a very strange expression on his face, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, Celis spoke.

"I've analyzed this video, and it's almost indistinguishable from a real video. But they overlooked one point. How could such an important conspiracy be recorded so easily? This must have been produced by advanced AI synthesis! As for the other rumor videos, they are similar to this one, all the same!"

"Besides this, what other information is there?"

Blacks asked coldly.

"I analyzed all the IDs that spread rumors. I found that apart from those idiots who followed the trend and the dark star and apocalypse spies, there are many IDs that were virtual and generated with very advanced technology. They should be the work of the mechanical family."

Celis analyzed objectively.

At this time, the gloomy middle-aged man spoke hoarsely.

"We, Night Owl, discovered a new sect called the God of Machinery when we were arresting and interrogating the people involved. These people worship the Machine Clan and have obtained a large amount of funds and technology from nowhere. If I'm not mistaken, they should have cooperated with the Machine Clan to carry out this invasion and spread rumors."

When Su Ming heard the word "Night Owl", his eyelids twitched.

The Night Owl Department can be said to be the most notorious department in the Federation.

They are responsible for collecting intelligence, arresting people and interrogating them.

Anyone who is arrested will be severely punished if not killed. Moreover, this department has great power and often arrests and interrogates people without any evidence.

At this time, Dr. Blacks spoke calmly.

"If we want to put an end to this farce, we have to find the source. How is the tracking of the signal source going?"

"I'm still tracking it, but just a few days ago, when I was fighting with the three major signal sources, one of the signal sources suddenly stopped."

Celis said in great confusion.

When Su Ming heard this, his heart moved and he immediately asked.

“Celis, when did the signal disappear? What’s the exact time?”

Blacks and the sinister man turned their heads to look at Su Ming.

"Four days ago at 4.32pm."

Celis gave the exact time.

Su Ming calculated the time and then started talking.

"You don't have to guess, I know what's going on."

"Say!"

A fierce look flashed across the sinister man's eyes, and he spoke coldly.

Su Ming glanced at the man in front of him and said calmly.

"At this time, I happened to be on the interstellar cruise ship Guangwei returning to the Turquoise Star Defense Line. At that time, a weapons exhibition was being held on the ship, and we stopped in the starry sky to conduct actual weapon tests. As a result, when attacking a deserted planet, we hit the mechanical V-type general-level Cangshe Pavabek!"

"I understand now. They are hiding on the deserted planet outside the defense line! No wonder we couldn't find them inside. They are so cunning!"

After hearing what Su Ming said, Celis immediately reacted and said.

"Ah."

Su Ming smiled and replied.

Dr. Blacks heard this and spoke with a twinkling look in his eyes.

"If that's the case, the other two signal sources should also be hiding in the barren planets outside the Black Flame Star defense line and the Pluto Moon Star defense line."

"I'll send someone to search immediately."

The sinister man said in a cold voice.

"Not only do we need to search the desolate planet, but the Mechanical Clan was able to transmit the signal here. It must be the people of the Mechanical Church who are inside the three major defense lines of the Black Flame Star, helping to relay the signal. They should be using special equipment provided by the Mechanical Clan. These devices cannot be detected by us, so you have to rely on manpower to search and find them."

"I understand. I'll do it right away. If you find anything later, please inform us immediately."

The gloomy man said to Dr. Blacks.

"it is good."

Blacks nodded in response.

After getting Blacks's reply, the gloomy man turned around and left.

Su Ming asked curiously after seeing the person leave.

"who's that person?"

"Fertian, the second in command of the Night Owl Department."

Celis said with a smile.

"So he's Night Owl's second in command. No wonder I felt he was so dangerous."

When Su Ming heard Celis's words, his eyelids twitched slightly and he replied with a serious expression.

At this time, Blacks looked at Su Ming and asked.

"Su Ming, what do you want from me?"

"I brought some things with me, and I'd like to trouble the doctor to take a look at them for me."

Su Ming said to Dr. Blacks.

"Come with me."

After listening to this, Blacks took Su Ming towards his private office.

Soon they came to a private room, which was filled with various sophisticated equipment and file cabinets.

At this time, Celis also came in with the projection.

Blacks said to Su Ming coldly.

"Take it out."

After Su Ming finished speaking, he opened the metal box, took out the blood of the star spirit from it and handed it to Blacks.

After Blacks took it, he recognized it at a glance and asked with a little surprise.

"Protoss blood. This thing has been out of stock in Xiguang Laboratory for a long time. Where did you get it from?"

"I found the Star Spirit draw by accident, and this one."

Su Ming took out the semi-finished genetic medicine and handed it to Blacks.

Blacks took the genetic medicine handed over by Su Ming, and a rare hint of surprise appeared on his cold face. He asked excitedly.

"Isn't this the semi-finished V-type gene medicine Divine Forbidden produced by Xiguang Laboratory? There are only two left. One was recovered last year and was taken away by those old stubborn people. How did this one end up in your hands?"

"I'm lucky. I got it from an officer of the Dark Star Empire! By the way, Doctor, can you help me take a look at this plant?"

Su Ming explained briefly and then took out the unknown plant.

When Dr. Blacks saw this unknown plant, his brows furrowed and he began to observe it carefully.

Su Ming looked at Dr. Blacks expectantly, waiting for him to give an appraisal.

After a few minutes, Dr. Blacks' expression changed, and then he spoke.

"I've never seen this plant before. Where did you get it?"

"It was dug out from the insect mound inside the insect planet, and it is guarded by high-level insects."

Su Ming did not hide anything and told Dr. Blacks directly.

"I see. You can keep all three of these things. I'll study them and tell you if I find any results."

Blacks said in a very good mood.

"it is good."

Su Ming agreed without hesitation.

"How are you feeling now? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Blacks looked at Su Ming and asked with concern.

"It's fine. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. It's just that after operating the mecha in battle, I feel very sleepy and weak, and I often oversleep."

Su Ming told Blacks his situation truthfully.

"Come with me, I'll check you out."

Blacks said to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming immediately followed Blacks and walked towards a hemispherical instrument.

Blacks walked to the instrument console and input a series of commands. The hemispherical instrument split open, revealing a testing cabin.

"Lie in."

Blacks said coldly.

Su Ming did not hesitate and lay down immediately.

Dr. Blacks immediately activated the instrument and conducted a comprehensive test on Su Ming.

Twenty minutes later, Su Ming finished the inspection and walked down from the instrument. He asked curiously.

"How's it going, Doctor?"

"Your physical recovery is not ideal. Take this bottle of medicine and take one pill a day."

Dr. Blacks took out a white medicine bottle without any label and handed it to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming took it.

"You need to rest more now. Don't fight again unless it's absolutely necessary."

Blacks instructed Su Ming.

"I know, but sometimes there is really no choice but to fight."

"I understand this."

"So I want to get a pseudo V-generation pure mechanical mecha as a backup. I wonder if the doctor has any connections in the Mechanical Department of Xiguang Laboratory?"

Su Ming looked at Blacks expectantly.

After hearing what Su Ming said, Blacks frowned and did not reply to him.

Instead, Celis emerged and said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Su Ming, what do you think? Dr. Blacks and the people in the mechanical department are sworn enemies. How can we ask them for customization? And even if the doctor asks, they won't pay for it."

"Uh, okay."

Su Ming felt a little helpless when he heard this.

At this time, Blacks said to Su Ming calmly.

"I can't help you with this, but there are people who can help you."

"Who?"

Su Ming's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

"Aren't you on good terms with Deputy City Lord Oakens? You can ask him to help you."

"Are the people in the Mechanical Department willing to listen to him?"

"Of course not."

"Well, what's the point of looking for him?"

"Don't forget that Deputy City Lord Okens is City Lord Jakkers's confidant. After the Council President went into hibernation, the entire mechanical department was led by City Lord Jakkers."

Blacks put the stakes squarely in his mouth.

"I understand. I will go find Deputy City Lord Okens right away."

Su Ming replied happily.

"Go."

Blacks replied calmly.

Su Ming then turned and left.

Celis looked at Su Ming's leaving back and said to Blacks with a smile.

"Today the sun really rose from the west. You actually helped Su Ming find the way and told him how to customize a purely mechanical mecha. This is totally different from your philosophy."

“Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters.”

Blacks replied expressionlessly.

"Makes sense."

Celis responded with a smile.
-
Inside the Deputy Mayor's Office in the Federal Government Administration Building.

Deputy City Lord Okens sat at his desk with several supervisors standing in front of him, reporting with documents in hand.

"Lord Okens, regarding the land numbered 7 in the G4212 area, we prefer to hold a public auction. The funds raised can be used to subsidize financial support."

As Okens listened to his subordinate's report, he suddenly became furious and slammed the table with his hand.

Bang!
The loud noise directly interrupted the report.

Several supervisors trembled suddenly and looked at Okens in horror.

Okens scolded angrily.

"I asked you to find a way to collect taxes and fill the deficit. You can't collect taxes, so you want to sell the land? What else can you do besides selling? I have said it many times, there is very little valuable land in Starlight City, and every inch must be maximized."

Seeing Okens so furious, many supervisors turned pale and dared not say a word.

dong dong!

At this time there was a knock on the door.

Then the door opened and a capable female secretary wearing work clothes and short flaxen hair walked in.
She reported to Deputy City Lord Oakens.

"Lord Oakens, someone wants to see you."

"Let him in!"

Okens replied angrily.

The supervisor nearby was delighted when he saw that someone wanted to see Okens at this critical moment. Isn't this just walking into their trap and attracting fire?
"Yes!"

Secretary Nan Ying left immediately.

Then Su Ming walked in. He was surprised to see so many people in the office.

Okens turned his head angrily and looked over. When he found that the person who came in was Su Ming, his expression suddenly changed 180 degrees and he said with a bright smile.

"Su Ming, why is it you? When did you come back?"

The supervisors present were all dumbfounded. Who was this young man? How could he have such a big reputation?
"I just got back and came to visit. Are you busy here? I'll come in later."

Su Ming asked hesitantly when he saw so many people in the office.

"I'm not busy, why don't you get out of here!"

Okens turned and cursed at the supervisor on the scene.

Su Ming was also shocked.

After hearing what Okens said, several supervisors present hurriedly left the office and closed the door again.

"Sit down quickly!"

Okens immediately asked Su Ming to sit down.

"it is good!"

Su Ming then sat down.

Okens opened the drawer, took out a box of good tea, made a cup of tea and handed it to Su Ming.

"Come, have a cup of tea!"

"Thank you, Lord Oakens."

Su Ming took it and took a sip.

"Is your training going well?"

"It went pretty smoothly. I've been converted to a regular employee now and will be reporting back to the legion in a few days."

"That's great. By the way, did your mecha recovery go smoothly?"

Okens said with a smile.

"Thank you, it's going well, but I'm in trouble now."

Su Ming replied somewhat awkwardly.

"Just tell me if you have any difficulties. Why should you be polite to me?"

Deputy City Lord Okens spoke to Su Ming kindly.

"Then I'll be polite. I want to find the mechanical department of Xiguang Laboratory to customize an advanced pseudo V-generation mecha. But I don't have any connections. I wonder if Lord Okens has any solution?"

Su Ming asked nervously.

When Okens heard Su Ming's words, he was also stunned, and then said in a somewhat tricky way.

"This is a bit troublesome. The mechanical department of Xiguang Laboratory generally does not customize mechas for people, and they don't give face to anyone."

"I know this."

"But don't worry. Since you asked, I will definitely find a way for you. How about this, you sit here for a while, I will call Lord Jakers."

"sorry to bother you."

Su Ming said with great gratitude.

"fine!"

Okens then stood up and left the office.

in the corridor.

Okens raised his bracelet and called the Lord of Jakkers.

The call was quickly connected.

"Lord Jakkers."

"What is it, Oakens?"

The tired voice of Gackles suddenly sounded from the bracelet.

"Lord Jakles, I have a friend who wants to find Xiguang Laboratory to customize an advanced pseudo V-generation mecha. But as you know, I am not very good at talking to Xiguang Laboratory."

"Okens, you should know how busy the mechanical department of Xiguang Laboratory is. How can they have the energy to customize it for people?"

“I know, this isn’t it.”

Okens replied hesitantly.

“Who wants to order it?”

Jakkers also heard Oakens's dilemma and asked.

"Su Ming, his mecha was damaged during the Xingzang activity."

Okens replied quickly.

Jakkers was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

"Take him to customize it and tell him what I mean."

"Okay, thank you, sir."

Okens then hung up the phone.

Inside the office.

Su Ming waited patiently. At this time, the door was pushed open and Okens walked in.

"How is it, Lord Oakens."

Su Ming asked immediately.

"This matter is very troublesome. At first, Lord Jakkers disagreed. After all, it would take up too much resources of the Xiguang Laboratory. But after my repeated requests, he finally agreed."

Okens said with a big smile on his face.

"Thank you so much."

Su Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a small matter, but there is one thing I need to remind you of."

"You say."

Su Ming asked quickly.

"The cost of customization at Xiguang Laboratory is very high, so you should be mentally prepared."

"I'll order it no matter how expensive it is."

"Just your words, let's go!"

Okens stood up directly.

"Huh? Where are we going?"

"Of course, we'll go to the mechanical department of Xiguang Laboratory. I'll take you there in person. It won't work just by greeting those guys."
