When Su Mo opened the mecha column, all the pseudo V-generation mechas, whether biological or purely mechanical, were marked as sold out. He couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it!"

"All sold out?"

Qian Chengxue also looked surprised; this had never happened before.

Su Mo looked down and couldn't help but gasp.

The IV-generation mechas were also completely sold out.

Level 5 and 4 warships were also completely emptied.

Everything for sale on the entire mecha column was grayed out.

But thinking about it, it made sense. All the major countries had money now, so naturally they were willing to buy weapons.

In addition, the Star Ring City had opened up group missions with such generous rewards, so everyone was naturally trying their best to buy weapons to do the missions. The return rate was definitely super high.

As the saying goes, take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle.

"What do we do now?"

Qian Chengxue looked up at Su Mo.

"Let's go back to the Shadow first, and have Sun Duoxiang gather everyone. If it really doesn't work, we'll use the Shadow to farm missions."

Su Mo also had a bit of a headache.

A moment later, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue returned to the Shadow.

They saw Sun Duoxiang and the others anxiously pacing back and forth at the entrance.

As soon as Sun Duoxiang saw Su Mo, his eyes lit up and he rushed up excitedly.

"Boss, did you see the Star Ring City's announcement?"

"I saw it."

"Boss, are we participating?"

"Participate, we definitely have to participate. But don't be so anxious, let's do the preparatory work first, gather everyone together, and resupply the Shadow's ammunition."

Su Mo pondered for a while and replied.

"I've already sent messages to the people below, telling them to rush back. Besides, the Shadow was resupplied a while ago."

When Sun Duoxiang heard that Su Mo was going to participate, he looked like he had struck gold.

"Why are you so excited?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Boss, you don't understand. This reward is not just generous. The main thing is that you can actively make requests to the Star Ring City. For example, you can request to join the Star Ring City and obtain a stable life, so you don't have to worry about being afraid in the future. I even heard that you can make a wish to the Star Ring City to join the Star Ring City's Royal Order and become the top nobles. Anyway, you can have whatever you want, as long as you complete the mission to a high enough degree."

The more Sun Duoxiang spoke, the more excited he became.

Su Mo's mouth twitched as he listened. He said to Sun Duoxiang, "Do you think the Star Ring City is a god? Making wishes?"

"Boss, what's the difference between the Star Ring City and a god?"

Sun Duoxiang scratched his head and asked.

Su Mo was slightly stunned. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have begun to treat the Star Ring City with a normal heart from some point on, and would not treat it as a god.

"What's wrong, Boss? Did I say something wrong?"

Sun Duoxiang asked, a little puzzled, seeing that Su Mo didn't say anything for a long time.

"It's nothing, go prepare."

Su Mo didn't say much else.

"Okay."

Sun Duoxiang didn't say anything else and ran off.

Inside the Federation Building, in the hall on the first floor.

Generals gathered together, discussing anxiously.

"What the hell is going on? Why hasn't the Speaker appeared yet?"

"Yeah? If it really doesn't work, we can issue some orders first! Otherwise, the fleets of other countries are all gathering and setting off. If we go late, we won't even get the scraps."

......

Just as the generals were discussing.

Arlais walked in from the gate with Hai Yue.

"The Speaker is here."

A general saw and shouted excitedly.

"That's strange, why is the Speaker outside?"

"That's right?"

......

Then everyone turned their heads to look, discussing in confusion.

Arlais walked to the front of the crowd, and the originally noisy hall suddenly quieted down.

Arlais calmly swept his gaze over all the generals present, and he said, "I believe everyone is anxious."

"Speaker, isn't this a rare opportunity for the Star Ring City to bleed? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The fleets of other countries are gathering, and we can't fall behind."

"Yes, we can't fall behind."

....

The generals present said anxiously.

"That's right, this is indeed an opportunity, and I believe the victors will definitely be us. For this operation, I specially pulled a large number of weapons from the mecha columns of the Star Ring City, so only success is allowed, not failure!"

Arlais took out a stack of delivery certificates and said in a deep voice to everyone!

"The Speaker is wise!"

"The Federation will win!"

......

In an instant, everyone present cheered excitedly.

In fact, a large part of the reason why Su Mo couldn't buy weapons was thanks to these alliances and empires. They used the money from cashing out supplies and the money they borrowed from the Star Ring City to buy all the weapons on the mecha column, preparing to fleece them hard.

......

On the other side, after hesitating again and again, Su Mo decided to go to the general store to ask the old man.

See if he had any mechas to sell, he had to get one to make do.

Not long after, he arrived at the entrance of the general store.

It was still deserted.

Su Mo walked in and saw the old man standing expressionlessly in front of the counter.

"Cough cough."

Su Mo coughed deliberately.

The old man slowly raised his head and said indifferently, "No need to cough, I know you're here, spit it out."

"Haha, I want to buy a higher-grade mecha, or rent one?"

Su Mo said with a straight face. He didn't really want to come licking his face, but licking his face now was better than running into a terrifying alien later and crying.

"No, the only thing in the store now is a IV-generation Dark Paladin."

The old man replied coldly.

"Ah? No way? Just one IV-generation mecha? When did you get so poor? Even if you didn't have anything else, you should have a pseudo V-generation mecha, right?"

Su Mo replied with an embarrassed expression.

"Take it or leave it."

The old man replied indifferently, and then ignored Su Mo.

Su Mo didn't have any temper either. He didn't believe that the old man didn't have a mecha. It was obvious that the old man didn't want to sell it to him. Otherwise, this guy would sell V-generation mechas whenever he wanted, so how could he not have a mecha?

In fact, Su Mo guessed right. This old man just didn't want to sell high-level mechas to Su Mo, nor would he lend them to him.

Because once he had a high-level mecha, Su Mo would definitely go up and fight.

On the one hand, his body would definitely be damaged, and on the other hand, being too outstanding would attract the attention of the Star Ring City.

This was contrary to his plan.

"Okay, I'll buy it!"

Seeing that the old man's attitude was so firm, Su Mo didn't say anything else.

It was better to have something to use than nothing, right? He remembered that the Fake Creator Devourer once told him that the IV-generation biological mecha Dark Paladin was almost as powerful as a regular pseudo V-generation biological mecha.

It should be enough to make do, but he shouldn't think about joining in the fun on the main battlefield.

"1.5 billion Star Coins."

The old man took out a box from under the counter and pushed it over.

Su Mo picked up the card and handed it over.

After the old man swiped the card, he said hoarsely as he returned the card to Su Mo.

"Just go mess around, if you want to wade through this muddy water, you have to see if you're tough enough, right? There aren't that many good things in the world."

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then took the card and said.

"Thank you."

Not long after, Su Mo and the Fake Creator Devourer left the general store.

"Do you think the last sentence of the old man was warning us?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"It's obviously a warning. There's definitely something wrong with the breaking of the Eden Star Territory. The defenses there are very strong. Not to mention anything else, even if the V-type fortress-class Qijuzi attacked the Eden Star Territory last time, it probably wouldn't want to retreat unscathed."

The Fake Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.
