He turned his head and glanced, not paying too much attention. He continued to handle his business, having already locked in the tasks he had chosen.

More than an hour later, Su Mo successfully received one hundred and twenty-three high-value tasks, but he wasn't happy at all.

Because this was still too far from his original expectations. Completing all of them would only get him more than 3 billion contribution points.

Just as Su Mo was about to leave.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, and the free people in the hall retreated to the sides.

Su Mo turned his head to look, also a little puzzled. What's going on? What day is it today?

He saw Imperial generals wearing different mechanical armors, escorting a group of gorgeously dressed Imperial nobles who walked in first. Leading them was an old man with a hunched back, white hair, an electronic eye replacing his left eye, and a gloomy face.

"Boss, so many Imperial soldiers, this doesn't look good. Are they here to cause trouble for us?"

"Probably not, they're not coming towards us. But something's not right, who's that leading the group? He looks pretty dangerous."

Su Mo shook his head and said.

Sun Duoxiang carefully looked at the old man, his eyelids twitching as he said.

"Holy crap, isn't that High Motos Empire Prime Minister, Cycor?"

"Is this guy famous?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Of course he's famous, this guy is ruthless, he has immense power in the High Motos Empire. People who offend him never have a good end. The reason I recognize him is because someone from the Alliance anonymously cursed him on the Star Ring Forum, and this guy found him using some unknown means. Then he broadcasted live on the Star Ring Forum, skinning him and carving his bones to create a living specimen, the kind of specimen that can't die."

Sun Duoxiang explained with lingering fear.

At this moment, another group of high-ranking officials walked in. Each of them wore different styles of clothing. If there were no accidents, these should be high-ranking officials from various Alliance countries.

Su Mo was slightly stunned, actually seeing acquaintances.

Among the people who walked in from the Alliance, he saw the figure of Vice-Chairman Yin Serin. Her expression was tense, giving off a strong sense of oppression.

The arrival of these two groups meant that both major factions were present.

This lineup would make anyone tremble and retreat, so it was not surprising that the free people in the hall retreated in fear.

Sun Duoxiang covered his pounding heart, and said to Su Mo with a look of relief, "Boss, it's a good thing I listened to you and didn't continue blocking the door, otherwise we would be on the headlines today."

He couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he almost blocked so many big shots.

Su Mo didn't reply to Sun Duoxiang, but just kept staring at them.

He was very curious about what these people were here for. However, he had no intention of joining in.

These people were currently in the eye of the storm, and going over would only cause trouble for himself.

But it didn't matter, Su Mo had the Heavenly Sin battle armor which allowed him to eavesdrop on their conversations from a distance.

He saw both groups come to a special service counter on the left side of the hall.

The service counter was empty, without any staff.

Cycor grinned and turned to look at Yin Serin and the others, and said, "Are you here to witness our Empire's great historical moment?"

"Cycor, don't be too happy, just because you can buy a Star Destroyer doesn't mean we can't."

Yin Serin replied calmly and steadily.

"Heh heh, with you? As far as I know, your contributions aren't qualified yet!"

Cycor said with extreme arrogance.

"If we're not qualified, we can try, it's up to us."

Yin Serin frowned slightly, retorting unwillingly.

At this moment, a pot-bellied, fat-headed, and greasy-eared man wearing a high-ranking Star Ring City officer's uniform, weighing about two hundred pounds, walked over slowly, followed by several subordinates.

A subordinate standing next to Cycor, wearing noble clothes, who was very shrewd and capable, said respectfully.

"Lord Cycor, Supervisor Akawi is here."

After hearing this, Cycor stopped paying attention to Yin Serin, after all, the main thing was important.

He said proudly to Akawi, "I am here on behalf of the High Motos Empire to buy a Star Destroyer. We have enough contribution points, and we have brought the money."

At this time, other national personnel following Yin Serin couldn't sit still, and they also said, "We are also here to buy a Star Destroyer, and we have brought the money as well."

Akawi had a playful smile on his face, and said to everyone.

"I'm afraid you've got something wrong, haven't you?"

"What's wrong?"

Cycor's face darkened, and he asked unhappily.

"Star Destroyers aren't Chinese cabbage, you can't just buy them if you want to, even if you have enough contribution points and enough money, it won't work. First, you have to see if Star Ring City has any extra Star Destroyers, and if not, you have to temporarily produce them, and temporary production has to be queued, you know that Star Ring City's military production line is busy."

Akawi replied with a smile that wasn't a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

Cycor's eyes became more and more gloomy, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart. Wasn't this just playing with people?

At this time, the envoy of the Yanas Kingdom, Yaji, rolled his eyes and immediately said, "Lord Akawi, we'll reserve, we are willing to queue up."

"You ah, are even more unqualified. If you want to queue up, the prerequisite is that you have enough contribution points before you can apply. After all, Star Ring City also has rules."

Akawi replied with a smile.

Cycor narrowed his eyes, and quickly adjusted his mentality and said, "So you're saying we can make a reservation? 100 billion star coins, right?"

"Of course you can make a reservation, but before making a reservation, as Star Ring City's military equipment officer, there are some things I have to explain to you clearly. So you don't say I'm not qualified, 100 billion star coins is just the money for the Star Destroyer's hull structure, it doesn't include all kinds of equipment, I personally suggest you choose configurations, such as power system configurations, radar device configurations, launch port configurations, armor configurations..."

Akawi easily said dozens of large configurations.

Cycor's old face was twitching, if the person standing in front of him wasn't a Star Ring City executive, he would have been dragged down and chopped up countless times.

"Excuse me, how much will these configurations cost?"

Cycor asked calmly.

"It depends on the standard you choose, configurations are also divided into good and bad, the ordinary level is probably an increase of more than 50 billion star coins. Better ones are one or two thousand, better ones, there is no upper limit."

Akawi was talking as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

Cycor's heart was like a burning flame at this time, extremely angry.

They agreed on 100 billion star coins, but according to this guy's configurations, don't even think about getting it without two or three thousand billion.

But who told them that they have no say, and can only look at other people's faces?

He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "If I place an order, how long will it take to get it?"

"The craftsmanship of the Star Destroyer is very complicated, it will take two or three years at the very least, and that's considered fast. If it's slower, ten years is also very normal, and all of this depends on this."

Akawi said with a smile, while not forgetting to rub his fingers.

The subordinate next to Cycor quickly whispered in his ear, "Lord Cycor, the other party wants a kickback."

Cycor nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, but he didn't agree.

Mainly because the time was too long.

Two or three years later, the day lilies would be cold. (idiom for "too late")

And the most important point is that he felt that this Akawi was too slippery and not very reliable. If he took the money and didn't do anything, it would be a big trouble.

Akawi was not in a hurry, and looked at Cycor with a smile, looking like he had him cornered.

Yin Serin and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. If it took so long to buy a Star Destroyer, the crisis would be temporarily resolved.

Su Mo, who was far away, eavesdropping on their conversation, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He felt that this was a pit!
