The old man coughed a few times and said to Su Mo in a cold voice, "I have a mission here. If you can complete it, the 100 trillion star coin additional fee will be waived."

"What mission? Just tell me! As long as it doesn't involve rebelling against Star Ring City, I'll do anything!"

Su Mo replied confidently.

"Don't be so sure. What I need is very dangerous. Deep within Vesta, there's something called the Para Fruit. It grows in the area with the most concentrated negative energy pollution. I need you to bring it back within a year and a half."

The old man said while coughing violently.

"Para Fruit? What's that? I've never even heard of it. And are you sure that such a harsh planet as Vesta, where even wearing mechanical armor is barely enough to withstand the environment, can grow fruit?"

Su Mo felt it was incredible.

"The specific information is all here."

The old man took out a very small box and handed it to Su Mo.

Su Mo's expression changed for a moment, and then he reached out and took it. He wouldn't naively think this mission would be easy.

The fact that this mission was worth ten trillion meant that its difficulty was extraordinarily high.

And there was a time limit. Su Mo tried to ask, "Old man, is this Para Fruit to treat your body? Otherwise, why is there a time limit?"

"That's right, so you must find it within the specified time. The sooner, the better!"

The old man didn't hide anything from Su Mo.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find it within a year and a half."

Su Mo quickly patted his chest and guaranteed. He was joking; he couldn't let this old man have an accident. Otherwise, where would he be able to get credit in the future, and his mecha was still counting on him.

"Mm, cough cough..."

The old man didn't say anything more, just kept coughing.

It was clear that he wasn't feeling well.

"I'll go prepare right away. By the way, I have something to tell you. When you're processing the Mad-Eye Rein Hawk, don't erase the remaining consciousness inside."

Su Mo, who was about to leave, suddenly thought of something and quickly told the old man.

Hearing Su Mo's words, a strange look flashed in the old man's eyes. But he didn't say much, just replied coldly.

"I know."

"Then where should I send the materials?"

Su Mo quickly asked.

The old man picked up a pen and wrote an address on a piece of paper, then tore it off and handed it to Su Mo.

"Okay, I'll have my people send it over right away. By the way, how long will it take for me to get my mecha? Will it be ready in time for me to use it on Vesta?"

Su Mo asked with a face full of anticipation.

"Come back in three years to pick it up."

The old man replied without even thinking.

"Damn, three years is so long."

Su Mo was immediately dumbfounded. He thought it would be done in a month at most.

"Do you think V-generation biological mechas are so easy to build? Not to mention that yours isn't an ordinary V-generation mecha. Being able to build it for you in three years is already me having people work overtime and going all out. If you think it's too slow, you can find someone else."

The old man replied coldly.

"No, no, three years is fine. Actually, I'm not saying it's slow, it's mainly for you."

Su Mo quickly explained.

"For me?"

The old man looked disbelieving.

"It's really for you. Aren't I going to Vesta to find medicine for you? You also know how dangerous Vesta is. How can I explore without a handy mecha? I was thinking that once the mecha is built, I can just take it to explore and bring back what you need as soon as possible."

Su Mo vowed, looking like he was thinking of the old man's health.

Although the old man didn't believe a word Su Mo said, in general, what Su Mo said made sense.

So the old man took out another box from behind the counter and handed it to Su Mo, saying indifferently.

"This contains the activation key for the V-generation biological mecha, Abyss of Sin. I will have someone send that mecha to your ship for you to use first."

"Didn't you say that this mecha can't be seen in the light and can't be discovered by Star Ring City? Is it okay for me to use it like this?"

Su Mo's eyes lit up, but he asked with some concern.

"As long as you don't use it in Star Ring City, you can use it freely in the outer star regions and on Vesta. Can Star Ring City control you?"

The old man replied coldly.

"That makes sense, then I'll accept it."

Su Mo thought about it carefully and replied happily, all his worries were now resolved.

"Go, remember to bring back what I need within a year and a half, otherwise the consequences will be severe."

The old man rarely gave an extra warning, something that had never happened before. It could be seen how much he valued it, and it also indirectly showed that his physical condition was no longer optimistic.

"Don't worry, no problem."

Su Mo then took the things and left the general store.

The old man watched Su Mo leave, his cloudy eyes constantly shifting.

......

Su Mo was in a very happy mood after leaving the general store, the matter was finally settled.

"Little Devourer, you said, isn't my mecha at the peak of V-generation? If I add my blessing on top of it, can it rival a VI-generation mecha? Is there a chance for cross-level challenge?"

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Sun Duo Xiang, asking him to send the materials over, while talking to False Creator, Devourer.

"The gap between VI-generation and V-generation is like a natural barrier, it seems close, but it can make you feel extremely hopeless. In my impression, there is only one person who can cross this gap, so stop dreaming."

False Creator, Devourer, retorted without hesitation.

"That's too much, are you looking down on me?"

"I'm telling the truth, your current level can only be said to be very good, but it has not reached the level of defying the heavens. There is still a long way to go in the future, but this can't be blamed on you, who made your starting point so low."

False Creator, Devourer, analyzed rationally.

"What if I add you, is there a chance?"

Su Mo asked unhappily.

"Yes!"

False Creator, Devourer, replied without hesitation.

"Damn, you are really biased, when it comes to yourself, you don't even hesitate."

Su Mo couldn't help but complain.

"I am a Creator, I am a god, what is there to hesitate!"

False Creator, Devourer, replied without hesitation.

"You are fake..."

"That's still not something a carbon-based life like you, a genetic trash, can comment on."

"That's too much, you are using an area-of-effect attack...."

"I'm telling the truth...."

......

Under the sunset, Su Mo walked towards the Shadow, complaining to False Creator, Devourer, his shadow getting longer and longer.

......

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

A few days later.

Earth - Free City Spaceport.

The Shadow slowly landed.

After it stabilized, the exit slowly opened.

Su Mo and Qian Chengxue and others walked down.

"We're finally back."
