"That’s true, but from the way you speak, it seems there’s another channel?"

"There is, and that’s directly buying from our Logistics Department, which has a substantial inventory. But I must inform you in advance that the equipment you previously purchased outside through the Mechanical Pillar was all at a discounted rate, deliberately offered by Star Ring City to help you grow. Therefore, the prices were very low. However, buying from me would not have those prices."

"Alright, if it’s expensive, then so be it."

Su Mo thought for a moment and decisively replied.

"Good!"

Olisi didn’t waste any words and quickly waved his hand.

A holographic image for an exchange appeared before Su Mo. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Su Mo glanced at it. Although this exchange channel wasn’t as advanced as the merit exchange channel, it displayed an ample stock of conventional weapons, meaning you could buy as you please as long as you have enough Star Coins.

However, seeing the prices, Su Mo’s eyebrows twitched crazily; the prices had spiked significantly.

Normally, a fourth-generation mecha costs between 10 million and 1 billion Star Coins; previously, a low-end Night Guard was 100 million Star Coins, now it had jumped to 500 million to 1 billion Star Coins.

The price for Pseudo V Generation Biological Mecha·Horned Ghost was previously 21 billion Star Coins, now it skyrocketed to 60 billion.

Pseudo V Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Ghost Shadow was priced at 10 billion Star Coins, now surging to 50 billion.

As for V Generation Mechanical Armor, it had risen to 10 billion; IV Generation Mechanical Armor at 500 thousand Star Coins; III Generation Mechanical Armor at 100 thousand.

These prices compared to outside are simply daylight robbery.

...

Su Mo contemplated for a while, then executed his move, obtaining ten thousand high-end Night Guards, fifty Horned Ghosts, fifty Ghost Shadows, 104 sets of V Generation Mechanical Armor, ten thousand sets of IV Generation Mechanical Armor, forty thousand sets of III Generation Mechanical Armor, instantly spending 1.6594 trillion Star Coins.

Suddenly, Su Mo’s account only had 4,675 billion 139.2 million Star Coins left.

Oreles, standing nearby, couldn’t help but twitch his face seeing Su Mo’s maneuver.

This is not just rich; even an old Royal Order wouldn’t necessarily be able to produce this much money.

Of course, he didn’t know that Su Mo also felt the pinch; spending money like water.

Don’t be fooled by the amount he still has, but the remaining funds can’t be spent recklessly. Later ship and weapon maintenance and resupplies, personnel salary expenses, all need money.

Su Mo took a deep breath a few times to calm his aching heart, then continued to speak with Oreles.

"Please, Lord Oreles, quickly equip and deliver the items I need to Dock 13; my Star Destroyer is anchored there."

"Rest assured, give me three hours, and all weapons and equipment you purchased along with the ammunition arranged by Lord City will be delivered to you; there won’t be any delay in your affairs."

Olisi promised resolutely.

"Alright, I’m leaving."

Su Mo nodded in agreement, now racing against time.

"Take care."

Olisi respectfully saw Su Mo off.

After leaving the Logistics Department, Su Mo walked down the spacious corridor where busy NCOs were everywhere.

Everyone, upon seeing Su Mo, willingly gave way.

Su Mo walked outside, raising his bracelet to dial a communication.

Beep-beep~

Soon the communication link was successful.

Alles’s virtual image appeared, calmly asking.

"Su Mo, you’re looking for me?"

"Yes, there’s trouble in Radiant City; I need to get there as quickly as possible. I wanted to ask if the Federation’s multifunctional Jump Fortress is usable?"

Su Mo tried to ask.

"The Federation’s Jump Fortress is almost complete. Let me open a one-way small Star Gate to transport you. Due to it being one-way, the distance is limited, and it can’t reach Radiant City directly, but should save you more than half the time."

Alles conservatively told Su Mo.

"That’s sufficient, thank you. By the way, is my Divine Guard Mecha repaired? If repaired, please have it sent to me too."

"No problem, I’ll arrange this immediately."

"Alright!"

Su Mo promptly hung up the communication, then quickened his pace towards the dock.

...

Over an hour later, Su Mo arrived at Dock 13, finding the entire port heavily surrounded by troops.

The guards of Star Ring City had cleared the area of any idle individuals.

Sealed mechanical boxes were being transported onto the Legendary Level Star Destroyer·Immortal Blade.

Long Ke and others were busy assisting in delivering the cargo to the storage warehouse and hangar.

Upon closer inspection, dangerous symbols were branded on many of these mechanical boxes.

At this moment, a huge rumbling noise resonated.

A massive multifunctional transport vehicle appeared, towing a giant 500-meter-high metallic mechanical box, moving towards here. Surrounded by Pseudo V Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Ghost Shadows.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow upon seeing it, surprised by the size of the device.

Once the equipment was transported to the scene, Esron disembarked from the vehicle and commanded.

"Hurry, get the equipment up there, quickly!"

"Yes!"

Numerous subordinates responded in chorus.

Multiple mechas landed on the transport vehicle, starting to release various secured safety devices.

Su Mo stood quietly, observing.

At this moment, Tilo descended from the Star Destroyer and approached Su Mo, asking somewhat surprised.

"What are these things?"

"The items to escort and equipment supplies; originally, upon returning to Star Ring City, I planned to let you all rest for a few days. But given the current situation, resting seems impossible as you need to follow me to the battlefield."

Su Mo explained to Tilo.

"No problem."

Tilo shook her head.

"Alright, I won’t say much more; gather everyone capable of fighting and head to the hangar."

"Understood."

Tilo nodded, then hurriedly left.

Su Mo didn’t linger there; he headed straight towards the Starship’s entrance.

...

Five hours later, all weapons and goods were delivered onto the Starship.

Tilo gathered all combat-capable personnel in the hangar.

Su Mo waved his hand and decisively said.

"Unpack!"

Long Ke and others all went up, promptly opening the mechanical boxes.

Numerous brand-new Night Guards, Ghost Shadows, and other mechas came into view.

Kendi and others’ eyes widened, though all were standard, but are all high-level mechas.

"This many?"

Long Ke found it hard to breathe, seeing so many high-level mechas for the first time in life.

Su Mo walked straight up to begin arranging.

"These two V Generation Standard Mecha·Thunderstorm Apostles are for Kendi and Yan Gang."

"No problem!"

Kendi and Yan Gang complied without hesitation.

Immediately Su Mo continued arranging, "These two V Generation Pure Mechanical Standard Mecha·Star Guards go to Mad Woman·Man Si and Long Ke."

"Alright, but what about Big Sis Tilo?"

Long Ke, amidst excitement, did not forget to ask.
