Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 414: Surprise

Chapter 414: Surprise (Five in One)

In an instant, many interstellar pirates controlled their mechas and fled everywhere like headless flies.

Su Ming controlled the pseudo V-generation mecha, Lord of Shadows, and transformed into a stream of black light, attacking the remaining level 4 battleships.

An hour later.

The space pirates either died or escaped!
Of the seven level 4 battleships, four were sunk by Su Ming and his men, and three escaped.

Then, with the help of the Holy Legion personnel, Ankajia and others forcibly boarded the mothership and began to clear out the remaining pirates inside.

Su Ming, Afaku, Novlin and others controlled the mecha and flew into the hangar inside the meteorite stronghold.

Bang!
One mecha after another landed on the machine position.

click!
Su Ming opened the cockpit and jumped down, then removed the colonial armor covering his body.

Novlin, Afaku and others came over.

"Master Su Ming, thank you for your help."

Novlin said gratefully.

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

Su Ming greeted with a smile.

At this time, Afaku looked at Su Ming, examined him from head to toe, and asked Novlin in surprise.

"Novelyn, when did you meet such a big shot in the Federation? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

"Lord Afaku, have you forgotten? I mentioned that the reason we were able to escape from the Imperial Army last time was thanks to him."

Novlin then said to Afaku.

"Wait, isn't that a major?"

Afaku asked in great astonishment.

You have to know that those who can drive the pseudo V-generation mecha are at least at the general level, and those at the colonel level simply cannot afford it.

"I was a major at first, but now I am a major general."

Su Ming explained with a smile.

"It's only been a short while? You jumped three levels?"

Afaku was also stunned when he heard Su Ming's words. The military rank of the Federation is not promoted casually. Each promotion requires a lot of military merit, and as the rank increases, the power and status will also increase.

"You're lucky. You got promoted quickly. How are you guys doing lately?"

Su Ming replied humorously.

Novlin replied, shaking her head.

"Su Ming, after you left, we temporarily retreated to the Lost Land. But because there were too many of us and the cost of living in the Lost Land was too high, Lord Afaku couldn't afford to support so many of us. So he took us back to the Dark Forest, where we rebuilt a new base and searched for resources! Fortunately, God helps those who work hard. We found a very high-level energy crystal vein here. We spent a lot of effort to mine it, but we were targeted by the Black Shark Interstellar Pirates."

"I see."

Su Ming nodded when he heard this.

Afaku then said to Su Ming.

"Master Su Ming, you really helped us a lot this time. We in the Holy Army always avenge our enemies and repay our kindness! Come with me, I have a gift for you."

"You don't have to be so polite, right?"

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

"Don't shirk it. It means you are not giving me face."

Afaku said very generously.

"Master Su Ming, you don't have to be polite to us."

Novelin also followed suit to persuade them. After all, if Su Ming hadn't helped them this time, they would have been in great danger.

"it is good."

When Su Ming heard Afaku say this, he stopped refusing.

"follow me!"

Afaku and Novlin then led Su Ming towards the warehouse.

After a while.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Su Ming's eyelids suddenly jumped.

Inside the huge warehouse, there were rows of crudely made boxes filled with lavender energy crystals. They were everywhere as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

"So many energy crystals, and they're purple?"

Su Ming said in great shock.

Now he finally understood why those Black Shark Interstellar Pirates were fighting so hard.

With so many energy crystals, anyone would have to fight them.

"This is only a portion of it. Many have already been transported to the Level 5 transport ship."

Afaku said to Su Ming very proudly.

"sharp."

Su Ming replied with a slight twitch of his mouth.

"nothing."

Afaku smiled and continued to walk inside with Su Ming.

Soon they arrived at the innermost part, where they saw six relatively good mechanical boxes.

Afaku walked forward and opened a box, only to see a deep purple energy crystal inside the box. The entire energy crystal emitted purple light and circles of halo, which was extremely beautiful.

Su Ming spoke in great surprise when he saw this deep purple energy crystal.

"Level 5 Energy Purple Crystal!"

You should know that the qualities of energy crystals are divided into white, blue, purple, black, and colorful.

Each color of energy crystal has different levels.

The better the quality and the higher the grade, the higher the value will be.

Moreover, energy crystals are hard currency with a wide range of applications. They can be used for energy, additives, weapons, etc.

The two plasma lightsabers he is using now have energy crystals embedded inside, and they are only level 5 blue energy crystals.

The box contains level 5 purple energy crystals. Energy crystals of this level are generally used for beam weapons of V-generation mechas, or for advanced energy power devices. Its market value starts at 200 billion, and it is in short supply.

"Good eyesight. This is the best energy crystal we have mined. We have only mined six in total. This one is for you."

Afaku said to Su Ming with a smile.

"Thank you very much, but Afaku, do you have the rest of the energy crystals for sale?"

Su Ming asked with great envy.

"Sorry! Lord Su Ming, our captain still needs these energy crystals, and we haven't updated our weapons or purchased supplies for a long time, so we can't sell them to you."

Afaku said very apologetically.

Although he wanted to sell them for money, they couldn't spend too much money, and they had no place to spend it. However, these energy crystals could be easily exchanged for what they needed.

"Ok."

Although Su Ming felt it was a bit of a pity, he could understand it.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard.

Su Ming and the others turned their heads and saw Rhine and his men running towards them excitedly.

"Boss, I'm rich!"

"What fortune?"

Su Ming asked with a smile.

"We recovered that pseudo-V-generation mecha, and I found this in the cockpit. That guy was really fat, using this thing for teeth."

Rhine then stretched out his hand, and in his palm were three teeth made of eternal metal.

"Rhine, this is a reward for you."

Su Ming said with a dumb smile.

"Boss, are you sure? These three pills weigh more than a hundred grams?"

Rhine asked with a smile, "Although this thing is so small, it is not light in weight."

"Where does all this nonsense come from."

Su Ming waved his hand indifferently. He was going to dig out the eternal metal ore soon. He didn't care about such a small amount of eternal metal.

"okay!"

Rhine responded with a grin that stretched from ear to ear.

Zhang Yi and others saw this and spoke to Rhine.

"Hey, Rhine, you can't eat alone. Share with us!"

"I'll take one, and there are two left. You play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever wins takes it."

Rhine was not stingy and spoke directly to Zhang Yi and the others.

"Row."

Zhang Yi and his friends then started playing rock-paper-scissors.

At this time, Ankajia also rushed over, shouting breathlessly.

"Boss!"

Rhine looked at Ankaja who was running over and said with a smile.

"Oh my god, Ankajia, you have a very good nose. You came on time!"

"What's the matter, I have something to ask the boss."

Ankaja said breathlessly.

"whats the matter?"

Su Ming looked at Ankajia curiously.

Ankajia walked up to Su Ming and motioned for him to step aside to talk.

Su Ming then walked aside with Ankajia and asked curiously.

"what happened?"

"We captured that mothership. There are so many things inside. We are going to be rich."

Ankaja said excitedly.

"wait a moment."

Su Ming's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he turned and walked towards Afaku and the others.

"Afaku, Novlin, I have something else to deal with first."

Su Ming said to Afaku and the other man.

"No problem. I'll have someone deliver this energy crystal to your ship."

Afaku nodded and said.

"it is good!"

After Su Ming finished speaking, he hurriedly left with Rhine and others.

Soon after.

Su Ming and his companions controlled the mecha and entered the hangar of the level 5 mothership, the Evil Fang.

Bang!
They landed the mech on its stand, opened the cockpit and jumped out.

At this time, Elu and others came up and greeted them.

"Boss, you're here."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. How is the situation now?"

Su Ming asked Ai Lu.

"We have almost cleared out all the space pirates on the ship. Those who resisted have been killed. As for the captives and prisoners, we have handed them over to the Holy Army for them to deal with."

"It's a good job, what about the revenue?"

"The income is very mixed, but there is a lot. I will take you to see it."

Ailu suggested to Su Ming.

"it is good!"

Su Ming nodded.

"follow me!"

Ailu then took Su Ming and walked towards the passage ahead.

When they walked into the passage, they were hit in the face by a foul odor mixed with the smell of urine.

"What the hell, what's that smell?"

Rhine immediately covered his nose and said in disgust.

Su Ming glanced around. The walls of the passage were covered with all kinds of strange graffiti and mottled stains. There were urine stains everywhere on the ground, and all kinds of garbage were scattered around, with some microorganisms crawling around on it.

Ai Lu explained to Su Ming as they walked.

"The interior of this mothership is very messy. Not only are the facilities old, but the modifications are messy everywhere. The hygiene is also very worrying."

"That's normal. They are a bunch of space pirates. How high can we expect their quality to be?"

Su Ming replied calmly.

But just at this moment.

Click!

Su Ming felt as if he stepped on something and immediately stopped.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Rhine and others asked in confusion.

Su Ming lowered his head with a gloomy face and looked down, and Rhine and others also lowered their heads to look over.

It turned out that Su Ming had stepped on a pile of excrement.

Su Ming's face suddenly turned darker than charcoal.

Rhine and the others held their composures, turned their heads away, and pretended they saw nothing.

"go!"

Su Ming exhaled slightly and said.

"it is good!"

Elu led them forward.

It wasn't long before they arrived at the mothership's supply depot and looked forward.

There were piles of mechanical equipment, mineral materials and other messy things here, and there was no end in sight.

The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched slightly. At first glance, he thought he had arrived at his own garbage disposal plant.

No matter how tidy your own garbage disposal plant is, it's cleaner than this.

"These are things that space pirates robbed. Don't look at them in a mess. They are still quite valuable."

Ailu explained to Su Ming.

"Well, is there anything else?"

Su Ming walked in, took a look around and replied.

He did not doubt the value of these things. There is a saying that goes, you can complain about the rubbish of space pirates, but you cannot doubt their vision. They will not carry worthless things on board.

"Yes, those interstellar pirates usually live in this mothership, so their living rooms are piled with various trophies, which are also very valuable."

Ankaja said with a mischievous smile.

"Go and see."

Su Ming nodded in response.

"Over there, we'll take the moving platform over there."

Ankajia took Su Ming very actively.

Soon after.

Su Ming and others took the mobile platform and arrived at the living area of the mothership.

As a result, an even more unpleasant smell hit me in the face.

"Fuck, is this a garbage dump? Don't these people feel uncomfortable living here?"

Zhang Yi couldn't help but sneer.

Su Ming walked forward with a tense face. The originally spacious passage was now filled with debris and garbage, and the lighting above his head was flickering.

All the doors along the way were open.

Su Ming glanced at the open room. The narrow dormitory was very dirty and messy. Various synthetic tissues and some used household garbage were thrown on the ground.

Soon they reached the end of the residential area, where they saw a large amount of loot piled up. Although these things were messy, they were also valuable.

“This is part of what was found.”

Ankajia introduced to Su Ming.

"Ah."

Su Ming had no desire to go up and take a look.

At this time, Rhine said with great disgust.

"Boss, do we really want this mothership? It's terrible."

"Let me think."

Su Ming originally wanted to make do with it, but he didn't expect the interior of the mothership to be so messy that he couldn't stand it.

At this moment, his bracelet suddenly vibrated.

Su Ming looked down and saw that it was a communication request from Hamiu, so he picked up the phone.

"What's wrong, Hamiu?"

"Boss, that Shagaru has been nagging about wanting to see you. I'm getting annoyed to death."

Hamiu replied irritably.

"We are on the mothership, the Fierce Fang. Bring him over."

Su Ming thought for a few seconds and said.

"it is good."

Hamiu immediately hung up the call.

"Boss, what is that guy going to do?"

Rhine asked curiously.

"I don't know. We'll know when we see."

Su Ming really wasn't in the mood to continue shopping.

Not long after, Hamiu came over with Shagaru.

"My Lord, I finally see you."

Shagaru shouted to Su Ming excitedly.

"whats the matter?"

Su Ming asked coldly.

"Sir, we agreed before that you would let me go if I led the way for you. Now the Black Shark Interstellar Pirates have also been surrounded by you. Shouldn't you let me go?"

Shagaru asked very nervously.

"No problem. I always keep my word."

Su Ming replied very readily.

"Thank you, sir. I'll be leaving now."

Shagaru replied ecstatically, then turned around and was about to run away.

At this time Su Ming showed a playful smile and talked to himself.

"I will let you go, but I don't know whether the Holy Army outside will let you go or not."

Shagaru froze in place, turned around and gave a very ugly smile.

"Sir, you are such a big shot, you can't go back on your words!"

"How did I break my promise? I promised to let you go. You can leave now. My people will definitely not stop you."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Sir, aren't you kidding me?"

Shagaru said very uncomfortably.

"Fuck, you dare to say that our boss is cheating and looking for death?"

Rhine immediately pulled out his beam gun.

"I was wrong, sir. Just think of me as a bad mouth and don't bother with me."

Shagaru shuddered and apologized quickly.

"No problem, let's go."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"Sir, I have important information. Can I trade my life with you?"

Shagaru forced an ugly smile.

"Okay."

Su Ming agreed readily.

The fact that Shagaru has two 4-ship battleships shows that he must have a high status among the Black Shark Interstellar Pirates and is very favored.

"Then you have to promise to give me a lifeboat with enough supplies, and not let the Holy Army cause me any trouble."

"No problem, but the prerequisite is that the information you provide is valuable enough."

Su Ming replied readily.

"Definitely enough. I know where Lord Krisa's treasure is."

Shagaru immediately sold out Krisa.

Su Ming and the others looked at each other, smiled brightly and said.

"lead the way!"

"This way!"

Shagaru then took Su Ming forward.

After a long time, Shagaru led everyone to an inconspicuous storage room.

Su Ming and others looked around. There were some debris piled up here, but nothing special. The only abnormal thing was that the ground was relatively clean.

"It's here, but I don't know exactly where it's hidden."

Shagaru explained to Su Ming and others.

"This is easy, leave it to Xiao Hui."

Su Ming took out the sleeping Xiao Hui from his pocket and shook it.

Xiao Hui immediately opened his eyes, blinked at Su Ming, and acted cute.

Su Ming said to Xiao Hui with a smile.

"Xiao Hui, there should be something good here, help me find it."

When Xiao Hui heard Su Ming's words, he immediately rushed out and ran around the entire storage room.

"Squeak!"

Not long after, it rushed to the metal wall on the left, scratching the wall with its claws and making noises.

Seeing this, Su Ming walked forward, covered his entire body with armor, and scanned the metal wall thoroughly. Then he gathered his strength and punched it.

Bang!
The entire metal wall suddenly sank in.

Shagaru's eyes widened.

Su Ming was very satisfied with the effect. The performance of this set of colonial armor was extraordinary.

He punched the wall again and again.

boom.

The metal wall collapsed instantly, revealing an entrance.

Su Ming then led everyone in and came to the hidden treasure house.

The entire treasure house is quite large, covering an area of one thousand square meters, and is filled with all kinds of things.

"Shit, that's not a grade 5 titanium ingot."

"And the smelted vibranium."

"Purple Energy Crystal (Level 4)."

Rhine and others shouted with great joy.

Su Ming took a quick look and led everyone inside. When he saw boxes in front of him, he began to speak.

"Rhine, open those boxes."

"Ok!"

Rhine and others immediately stepped forward and opened the boxes.

All kinds of sparkling jewellery come into view.

"Wow!"

It was the first time for Rhine and others to see so many jewels.

Although these jewelries are not as valuable as energy crystals, each one is still priceless.

Su Ming glanced at it, showing no interest at all, and continued walking forward.

At this time, they came to the weapons area, where there were two rows of shelves. On the left shelf were the collector's edition of the MXS-01 sniper rifle·Night Ghost, the XCC-02 automatic pistol·Flame Breath and other mechanical weapons, and on the right shelf were knives, swords and other weapons.

Su Ming picked up a sword, pulled it out and took a look at it. The cold light was intimidating, and he threw it directly to Rhine.

"then."

"okay!"

Rhine caught it excitedly.

Su Ming casually picked up another sword, then pulled it out and took a look at it, then threw it directly to Ankajia. "Thank you, Boss."

Ankajia took it with a smile on her face.

Su Ming watched all the way and threw the weapons to Zhang Yi and others after watching.

Although these weapons are not as good as the one on his waist or Mo Xiu's collection, they are also very good.

It didn't take long before Su Ming and his companions reached the innermost part of the treasure house.

Here was a shelf with three exquisite mahogany boxes, a dark gold mechanical box, a freezer and a large can of eternal metal.

"Wow, Eternal Metal! This guy is really fat."

Rhine said excitedly.

"It is indeed fat."

Su Ming picked up the first box and opened it. He saw a box full of Morris Bank black cards. The number was no less than Shadel's box of black cards, but he didn't know how much money was inside.

"With so many black cards, how many rich people and nobles have been hijacked."

Ankajia and others took a look and said in amazement.

Su Ming closed the box and put it back, then picked up the second box and opened it.

Inside was an exquisite purple necklace with a strange hexagonal purple gem hanging on it. It was very beautiful, not inferior to the one Shadel gave him.

"This necklace is also valuable."

Rhine and others said in amazement.

"Ok!"

Su Ming nodded, then closed the box and put it back, then picked up the third box.

Rhine and others came over and watched with anticipation.

Su Ming opened the box directly, and was greeted by an indescribable stench.

"Shit, what is that?"

Rhine and others were all smoked and retreated.

Su Ming also frowned and looked at it while holding his breath. After a careful look, he saw a strange thing in the box, which looked like dried excrement.

Zhang Yi stretched his head to take a look and asked in confusion.

"Boss, this isn't shit, is it?"

"It's very likely, but it's definitely not human."

Su Ming then closed the box.

"Hoo~ Boss, do you still want this?"

Rhine asked after a moment of hesitation.

"Yes, I don't know what it is, but it must be a good thing to be placed here."

Su Ming put the box back.

"Too."

Rhine and others thought about it and nodded.

Su Ming then looked at the next grid and picked up a freezer.

He opened the freezer, and as cold air leaked out, he revealed five different types of genetic medicines inside, the tallest of which was type three.

Su Ming closed the freezer again, and then picked up the last dark gold mechanical box. The whole box had a very high-end texture and was very heavy.

"Boss, open it and take a look."

Rhine and others urged.

"No, it's locked."

Su Ming tried to open it, but it was impossible to open it. The mechanical box was locked.

"Then break it open violently?"

Rhine and others tried to ask.

When Su Ming heard this, he put the mechanical box on the ground, drew out the Blade of Heaven's Punishment, and stabbed it into the gap of the box. However, the entire box did not move at all, and nothing happened.

"So hard? What material is it made of?"

Rhine and the others all expressed great surprise.

"I'm not sure, but judging from the situation, it's impossible to destroy it violently. Let's find someone to unlock it. There must be something good inside."

Su Ming said in a very good mood.

"Boss, how much are the things in this treasure house worth?"

Ankaja asked curiously.

“It’s hard to estimate, but it’s definitely over 100 billion.”

Su Ming made a conservative estimate.

At this time, Shagaru, who was following behind, said flatteringly.

"Sir, there is more to it than that. You have missed out on a fortune."

Su Ming and others turned their heads to look at Shagaru.

"What's missing?"

"Our boss's head is also very valuable. He has a high bounty on his head from all the major forces."

Shagaru said very shamelessly.

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

"Shagaru, your boss treated you well in the past, right?"

"Uh, no, he beat and scolded me."

Shagaru was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained to Su Ming.

"Okay, Hamiu, send him away."

Su Ming was too lazy to waste time talking to him.

"Let's go."

Hamiu said to Shagaru.

"Thank you, sir."

Shagaru quickly followed Hamiu and left.

"Bah, what a thing! Boss, if you hadn't told me to let him go, I would have chopped him up."

Rhine spat on the ground.

"We are not bandits. We must have principles. But it doesn't matter. What kind of place is the Dark Forest? Do you really think you can leave here alive in a lifeboat? Of course, if he really leaves alive, then I have nothing to say."

Su Ming said nonchalantly.

"Yup!"

When Rhine and others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They had to be extremely careful when sailing here, not to mention an escape boat.

"Okay, let's not talk about this any more. Pack up everything in this treasure house and take it away."

Su Ming gave orders to Rhine and others.

"Yes!"

Rhine and others responded immediately.

A few hours later.

Su Ming and others returned to the Fengdong hangar, and when they got off the mecha.

Fei Yaxing rushed over and shouted.

"Master Su Ming."

"Fia, why are you here?"

Su Ming greeted Feiya with a smile.

"I came here to give you the amethyst. I also want to inform you that Sister Novelyn has prepared a sumptuous banquet and wants to treat you to a meal. On the one hand, it is to show hospitality, and on the other hand, it is to thank you for saving us."

Feiya said to Su Ming with a smile.

"it is good!"

Su Ming immediately agreed.

"Great, let's go now."

Fia urged hurriedly.

Su Ming turned and said to Rhine and Ankajia.

"You two come with me, and the rest of you stay behind on the Wind."

"it is good!"

Rhine and others responded one after another.

Soon after.

Su Ming and the other two followed Fia back to the meteorite base.

Fia led them inside, and they met members of the Holy Army along the way, whom they greeted with great respect.

"grown ups!"

Su Ming nodded slightly in response to them.

Soon they came to a small restaurant, which had been slightly renovated. The floor was paved with some cheap tiles. In the center was a large table with more than a dozen meat dishes and bottles of white wine on it.

"Master Su Ming, you are finally here."

Novlin, wearing a black Baroque-style dress, with her long blue hair draped over her shoulders, welcomed us with a bright smile on her face.

At this time, Afaku also came over and said cheerfully.

"Master Su Ming, you are finally here."

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"No, we've just gotten ready too, come sit down!"

Afaku personally led Su Ming and the others to their seats.

"it is good!"

Su Ming and the others didn't bother to be polite with Afaku and just sat down.

Afaku picked up the white wine, opened it, filled the glasses in front of Su Ming and others, and then said.

"Master Su Ming, I am a rough man who does not know any etiquette, and I have nothing to offer you. I hope you don't mind."

"No, this is fine."

Su Ming replied politely.

"That's good, let's have a drink first."

Afaku then picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Su Ming's glass without saying a word, and drank it all.

When Su Ming heard Afaku's words, his eyelids couldn't help but jump. This wine glass was extremely large, and each glass weighed at least half a pound.

But Afaku had already finished it, so Su Ming had no choice but to finish it. After drinking one glass, the aftereffects went straight to his head.

Rhine and others stared with their eyes wide open.

"Haha, so refreshing! I like Lord Su Ming's personality the most. Come, eat more food."

Afaku was also very happy to see Su Ming did it.

"Well, then, Master Afaku, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Su Ming took a bite of food and put it in his mouth, while eating, he said,
"No problem. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Afaku replied readily.

"It's like this. We have captured a mothership and several battleships from the Black Shark Interstellar Pirates. I wonder if your Sacred Army is interested."

Su Ming asked with a smile.

Although Su Ming is currently lacking a level 5 mothership, he really dislikes this level 5 mothership, the Evil Fang.

Of course, the reason why he disliked it was not only because it was dirty and messy, but also because the ship was covered with the blood and souls of innocent people, which could not be washed away.

In addition, if this level 5 mothership needs to be renovated, it will take a lot of time and money. Moreover, its foundation is not good, and it will be troublesome to tow it back.

Therefore, Su Ming decided to try to sell the mothership and the things on it to the Holy Army at a low price.

Afaku, Novlin and others were also stunned when they heard it.

But Afaku soon reacted and replied seriously.

"Master Su Ming, to be honest, we are very interested. We have nowhere to buy a Level 5 mothership like this, and no one dares to sell it to us. After all, whoever sells it to us is making things difficult for the Dark Star Empire."

When Su Ming heard Afaku's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was just as he expected.

Moreover, ships are a necessity. It is difficult for him to purchase them in the Federation, and it is probably even more difficult for the Holy Army to purchase them.

"Since you are interested, how about this? I will sell you the mothership, the battleships, and the huge amount of supplies on them together?"

Su Ming went straight to the point.

"Sure, but we don't have that much money."

Afaku replied with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, you can use the energy crystal to give it to me."

Su Ming suggested with a smile.

"That's fine, but how exactly do you calculate it?"

Afaku's eyes suddenly lit up. After all, they had so many energy crystals that they couldn't use them all, and they still had to exchange more for supplies.

If they exchanged with others, there would be risks, and they might even be cheated, but at least there would be security if Su Ming exchanged.

"Lord Afaku, we are all straightforward people, and I have such a good relationship with you. I don't ask for more. How about packing all 2000 billion energy crystals?"

Su Ming offered a very low price.

After hearing what Su Ming said, Afaku raised his hand and slammed it on the table.

Snapped!
Su Ming and the others were all startled and looked at Afaku in bewilderment.

Afaku said excitedly.

"That's good. It's settled."

"Master Afaku, when you pay me the energy crystals, can you give me as many level 5 purple energy crystals as possible?"

Su Ming said with a smile.

"No problem. I still have five left. I'll give you three and leave the remaining two for our legion commander."

Afaku agreed readily without any hesitation.

"Thank you so much. I'll toast to you."

Su Ming picked up the bottle and filled another glass.

"Haha, good! I won't go home until I'm drunk today."

Afaku picked up the wine glass generously.

"That's right, I won't go home until I'm drunk."

Su Ming also took the risk. The two of them clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp!
-
The next morning.

Su Ming was lying on the bed, fast asleep.

dong dong!

There was a knock on the door.

Su Ming opened his eyes drowsily, got off the bed, and then opened the door.

"Boss, you haven't gotten up yet. It's almost noon now."

Rhine said with a grin.

Su Ming rubbed his temple and asked with a slight headache.

"I drank too much yesterday. What's wrong?"

"Nothing much. Novelyn just sent 2000 billion energy crystals over. Do you want to go take a look?"

Rhine said to Su Ming.

When Su Ming heard this, his confused mind suddenly became clear, and he immediately said.

"I'll go take a look and say goodbye to Novelyn and the others."

"Boss, we are leaving, right?"

Rhine asked Su Ming.

"That's right. Time waits for no one. Find the treasure quickly and feel at ease sooner!"

"Then I'll go inform Ankaja and the others."

"Ok!"

Su Ming turned around and went back to his room to wash up.

Not long after, Su Ming hurried to the cargo hold and saw boxes of energy crystals neatly arranged.

The quantity was more than he had imagined. It looked like Afaku and the others gave it to him at the lowest price, and it was a sufficient amount!

"Master Su Ming."

When Novlin saw Su Ming, she walked over and greeted him respectfully.

"Novelyn, you don't need to call me Sir, just call me Su Ming. And thank you for taking such a long trip."

"Su Ming, don't say that. This is what I should do."

"Okay, by the way, we're leaving soon."

Su Ming then said goodbye to Novelin.

When Novlin heard this, she was also slightly startled, and then she asked.

"You're leaving so soon? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"

"No, I still have a mission to complete, and it has delayed me for a while."

Su Ming replied apologetically.

"Ok."

Novlin replied somewhat reluctantly.

"Also, I have something I want to tell you."

Su Ming said very seriously.

"You said."

Novlin quickly replied when she saw Su Ming was so serious.

"It's like this. I supported the Crimson Kingdom in the Danube Star Sea, and I have a good relationship with the new Crimson Queen, Madam Hailan. If you, the Holy Army, are willing, I would like to invite you to live in the Crimson Kingdom. It's better than staying in the Dark Forest."

Su Ming suggested to Novlin.

Although the Holy Army is a mixed bag, as long as it is reorganized and armed, it is definitely no worse than the regular army.

You have to know that they fought back and forth with the imperial army even with their broken weapons.

Therefore, Su Ming wanted to bring them to the Crimson Country and then recruit them into an army.

After hearing Su Ming's words, Novlin fell silent.

Su Ming did not urge her and waited quietly for Novelin's reply.

After a long time, Novlin raised her head and looked at Su Ming, saying with a firm look in her eyes.

"Su Ming, thank you for your kindness. But we cannot leave here. There are too many of our compatriots here. If we leave, then they will have no hope at all and can only live in darkness."

"Oh, I understand."

Su Ming sighed slightly and replied.

"But Su Ming, if one day we really have no hope, or can't survive, can we go find you then?"

Novlin asked after a moment's hesitation.

"You are welcome at any time, no matter what the situation."

Su Ming replied readily.

"Thank you."

Novlin bowed deeply to Su Ming.

"Not so polite."

Su Ming reached out to help Novelin and shook his head in response.

"Well, I'm leaving now. Su Ming, be careful along the way. If you have a chance, you can come to us. We will definitely treat you well then."

Novlin said to Su Ming sincerely.

"Okay, and please say goodbye to Afaku for me."

"no problem."

"Goodbye, and good luck to you."

Su Ming said goodbye to Novlin.

"Goodbye."

Novlin couldn't help but look at Su Ming for a second longer, then turned and walked towards her mecha.

Su Ming stood there and watched Novlin get on the mecha. After she left with the crew, he let out a breath and then turned and walked towards the central control room.

Inside the central control room of Fengdong.

Timmy is directing Li Menghan and others to check the status of the ship in preparation for departure.

Rhine and others gathered together, talking and laughing.

At this time Su Ming walked in.

"Boss, you're here."

When Rhine and others saw Su Ming, they all greeted him with smiles.

"Well, what are you guys talking about that makes you look so happy?"

Su Ming asked curiously.

"We are discussing the profits from this round. The Black Shark Interstellar Pirates are so profitable just by ranking third, so the top two should be even more profitable. Should we find an opportunity to take them down as well?"

Rhine and others said while rubbing their hands.

"It's not that easy. The reason we were able to defeat the Black Shark Pirates so easily this time was actually due to a sneak attack and taking advantage of opportunities. They were already fighting hard with the Holy Army. The first two pirate groups must be stronger, and there might be other forces behind the scenes."

Su Ming walked to the command chair and sat down and said.

"Too."

When Rhine and others heard this, they scratched their heads and replied.

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly thought of something, then turned his head and looked at Rhine and said.

"Rhine, I have something for you."

"what?"

Rhine looked at Su Ming in confusion.

"I'll give you that pseudo-V-generation mecha, Crazy Shadow."

Su Ming said with a smile.

He thought about it and realized that the pseudo V-generation mecha, Crazy Shadow, was of no use to him and its performance was not good!
But no matter what, it is a pseudo V-generation mecha. Giving it to Rhine will add a considerable combat power.

Rhine said in ecstasy when he heard Su Ming's words.

"Boss, really?"

"nonsense."

Su Ming said unhappily.

"Thanks, Boss."

Rhine was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Ankajia and others were also envious. Rhine was going to become the first colonel-level officer in history to drive a pseudo V-generation mecha!
"Don't be happy too soon, fix it yourself."

Su Ming said with a smile.

Rhine suddenly felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water. His whole body was numb and he said with a bitter face.

"Boss, how can I afford it with my salary?"

"Haha, it's okay, I'll take my time to fix it. If you really can't afford it, come back and borrow it from me. How can I not lend it to you?"

Su Ming joked to Rhine.

"Ahem, I'd better save up some money and give it a try."

Rhine quickly shook his head in reply.

"Okay, whatever you want! By the way, I have something to tell you. I took the gun that originally came with the Crazy Shadow mecha, and I'll give you two plasma blades in exchange."

Su Ming suddenly remembered and gave some instructions to Rhine.

"It doesn't matter. Light blades are more suitable for me. I am not good at using guns."

Rhine didn't care.

"That's fine."

Su Ming nodded in response.

At this time, Timmy came over and greeted respectfully.

"Commander Su Ming, everything is ready."

"Okay, let's go!"

Su Ming waved his hand and gave the order directly.

"Yes!"

Timmy responded immediately.

ps: Thanks to ZG Yimeng for the reward of 10,000 yuan.
