After a while, Su Mo returned to his room, rummaged through his pajamas, and took out all his star coin tickets.

He counted them. Sun Duoxiang had given him a total of 1.8 million star coins in revenue last time.

Later, he grabbed a large handful of star coin tickets and gave Sun Duoxiang about 320,000. Then he gave Zhu Qi's family 200,000 star coins and spent 20,000 on a refrigerator.

That meant he had 1.36 million star coins left.

After paying for the internal energy source later, he would only have 360,000 star coins left.

Su Mo immediately felt his heart bleeding. It was truly like going back to square one overnight, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He re-secured the remaining star coins and left with the money.

....

Three days later, Su Mo was in his room, painstakingly studying the photos he had taken with his phone. He tried searching for information about Titans on the Star Ring forum, but it was empty. He found nothing.

He also obtained some information about the language, but his head exploded from looking at it. He couldn't figure anything out.

"Don't bother searching. Titans belong to a relatively advanced civilization. Not just anyone can understand it," the Fake Creator·Devourer reminded in a deep voice.

"Of course, I know that. The problem is I'm broke right now and have to find a way to make some money. All I have left is those star coins. By the way, when are you going to pay me back?"

Su Mo asked with interest.

The Fake Creator·Devourer fell silent and didn't say a word.

"Don't be silent. Let's talk about this. Little Devourer? Little Devourer?"

Su Mo asked with a smile.

Actually, although Su Mo felt sorry for the one million star coins, he didn't blame the Fake Creator·Devourer. He just wanted to tease it.

Of course, he deliberately brought this up for a reason, which was to slightly knock the Fake Creator·Devourer down a peg, so it wouldn't be too arrogant.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Dong dong~

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then put away his phone. He went to the door and opened it.

He saw Sun Duoxiang, Xiao Wen, and the others standing at the door.

"Boss, we're back," Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.

"Good to be back. How was the mining?" Su Mo asked casually.

Hearing Su Mo's question, the smile on Sun Duoxiang's face froze slightly.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Su Mo asked suspiciously.

Xiao Wen coughed and said, "It's like this. After receiving the return notice, General Zhao Wushuang ordered us to end the operation. On the way back, we cleared the revenue. After deducting fuel, equipment depreciation, and all other expenses, there wasn't much revenue left this time. Basically, we didn't lose money."

"Ah, actually, we could have made a profit. It's just that no one expected Lord Sperede to return so quickly. The early mining was only enough to break even," Sun Duoxiang complained.

Su Mo reached out and patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder, saying, "I thought something was wrong. It's good that we didn't lose money."

He thought to himself, these past two days, people who returned were crying and yelling, losing everything.

Including himself, wasn't he also bankrupt?

In addition, to profit from low-level resource mining, it usually required long-term mining. Some mining times were calculated in years.

Su Mo was already very satisfied that he didn't lose money.

"Boss, it doesn't matter if we don't make money from a wasted trip, but we feel bad that you didn't make any money," Sun Duoxiang said quickly.

"Alright, don't say that. It's not like I don't know the situation. Look at how many other mining teams made money," Su Mo interrupted Sun Duoxiang.

"Uh, the boss is right. Actually, not only did others lose money, but the Lin family also took a tumble this time, losing everything. Now they're all wailing. But the Lin family isn't the worst. It's the other five Dragon Head families," Sun Duoxiang replied in agreement.

"Wait, the other families came too?" Su Mo frowned.

"Of course, they came. They're even worse off. Not only did they lose everything, but they also had to pay an extra service fee to the people who brought them. It was like lifting a rock to drop it on their own feet," Sun Duoxiang said, becoming more and more excited.

Su Mo pondered for a moment. It seemed like he had underestimated the other families a little. Their methods were indeed very impressive.

But unfortunately, they lifted a rock to drop it on their own feet this time.

"Alright, let's not talk about this. The exploration mission can be considered a complete success. Everyone, take a good rest. The Black Tooth is about to return to the Black Yao," Su Mo said.

"Okay!" Xiao Wen nodded in response.

--------------------------------------------

Xi Lidu Star Region.

A warship was launching a fierce attack on the densely packed crimson flying insects in the distant starry sky.

Waves of missiles and beams swept over.

Instantly, a large area of the crimson flying insects that had invaded the starry sky was cleared.

Inside the Green Gower's command room, Eriga reported the real-time situation with a worried expression.

"Seventh wave of cleansing complete!"

"Order the mobile force to attack Planet No. C187 again," Bei Luo ordered with a cold expression.

Eriga seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he swallowed the words back and changed his reply.

"Yes."

In the starry sky, after receiving the order, a group of IV-generation biological mechas, led by a large number of mechas and star fighters, charged towards a crimson planet in the distance.

But before they could get close, countless crimson flying insects emerged from the planet.

Among them were many extremely large flying insects, which opened their mouths and shot out beams of light.

Rumble~

Instantly, the attacking mobile force was stopped.

Then, the two sides collided and engaged in another cruel battle.

Inside the Green Gower's command room, Eriga said in a deep voice, "Report, the attack is blocked, and we are once again in a stalemate."

....

Bei Luo looked at the holographic image of the battle, her expression becoming more and more solemn.

It wasn't easy to find such a rich resource point, but it turned out to be the nest of a Zerg force, inhabited by a large number of Red Ling flying insects. These insects had excellent mobility and were very agile. At the same time, their combat power was also very strong. The most critical point was that there were more than ten IV-type Red Ling flying insects in this nest.

They had attacked countless times and suffered heavy losses.

But they didn't give up.

The negative universe was so large, and there were countless planets, but how few of them had resources? It was like finding a needle in a haystack. Now that she had found one, how could she give up so easily?

"Lord Bei Luo, this can't go on."

"Continue to attack," Bei Luo said without hesitation.

"Yes!"

....

Several days later, inside the Black Yao's command room, Li Ruiqi sat in his chair, listening to the reports from his subordinates.

"According to the comprehensive inspection by Lord Zhang Wei and the others, the Black Yao has been systematically repaired. The most severely damaged No. 1 power unit has returned to normal operation..."
