Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1492 - 1179: Versailles

"Thank you so much. By the way, do you have someone who’s really good at search and rescue?"

Su Mo’s heart lifted with hope and he quickly asked.

"Good at search and rescue? Which area are you planning to search?"

Xia Weiya asked suspiciously.

Su Mo thought for a moment and didn’t hide anything, showing the mission on his electronic bracelet to Xia Weiya.

As Xia Weiya looked at the mission, her smile gradually disappeared, and her expression became unusually solemn.

"Are you planning to search the starry sky on the back of Ceres?"

"Yes."

"Let me clarify first, over the years, whoever dared to step into that starry sky, as long as they dared to go deep, got lost one by one, and not even Star Destroyers are of any use. Not to mention how strong the monsters wandering inside are, it’s basically no different from a forbidden zone."

Xia Weiya directly warned Su Mo.

"I know, that’s why I wanted to ask if you have any experts in this area? You should have quite a few talents on hand, right?"

Su Mo asked with a headache, knowing that Xia Weiya belonged to the Laurel Kingdom and was part of the first group of personnel summoned. They had contacted Ceres early on, and might be more familiar with the starry forbidden zone.

"I do have many experts in this field, but once it involves the starry sky on the back of Ceres, it’s not sufficient."

Xia Weiya admitted her limitations, which was rare.

"That exaggerated? Is there no one who can handle it?"

Su Mo didn’t expect such an outcome.

"Actually, there is one person who can act as a guide and search that area."

Xia Weiya thought for a moment and said.

"Who is it?"

"A person called Rat from the Third Ace Army."

"How do I find him?"

Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he asked.

"Difficult to find, that Rat is a treasure of the Third Legion Leader, dispatched all over the world for some very dangerous scouting missions. No one knows where he is, and to mobilize him, only the Third Legion Leader can do it."

Xia Weiya explained to Su Mo.

"Uh, can you help me negotiate with the Third Legion Leader?"

Su Mo couldn’t help looking at Xia Weiya.

"I’m afraid I can’t do much either. You might not know, the Third Dust Army is specifically responsible for intelligence and scouting. This legion is like rats and cockroaches in the shadows. And their legion leader, being in intelligence, has an extremely reclusive and unsociable personality. I don’t have a good relationship with him; I’ve hardly even met him."

Xia Weiya took a sip of wine and said lightly.

"Then who has a good relationship with the Third Legion Leader?"

Su Mo rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on as he asked.

"I really don’t know, but I’m sure if you really want to complete this search and rescue mission, you definitely need that Rat."

Xia Weiya confidently told Su Mo, having just checked the task. It was issued by the Federation, and since Su Mo was from the Federation, the task must be very important to him. Therefore, she repeatedly reminded him.

Su Mo, holding his wine glass, thought for a long time, then asked, "Is Commander Nan Qi of the Fifth Legion familiar with the Third Legion Commander?"

"You mean Nan Qi? Don’t even think about it. That old fox is slippery as an eel. If you ask him for help, it would be strange if you don’t lose something in return."

Xia Weiya also didn’t think highly of it.

Su Mo pondered for a long while and finally said to Xia Weiya, "Alright, I understand. I’ll think of another way. What about the Star Destroyer?"

"Come with me."

Xia Weiya drank all the wine in her glass, then stood up and said to Su Mo.

Without hesitation, Su Mo got up and followed her.

Half an hour later, Xia Weiya led Su Mo to the underground shipyard in Area A.

The floating elevator kept operating and changing its course.

"You’re not heading to the main shipyard, are you?"

Su Mo watched the elevator’s operation indicator, speaking thoughtfully.

"I’m going to the private shipyard. Since we’re both here today, let me show you around."

Xia Weiya chuckled and replied.

"You’re really wealthy."

Su Mo’s mouth twitched.

"It’s alright."

Xia Weiya replied nonchalantly.

Ding~

With a crisp sound, the floating elevator doors opened.

Xia Weiya led Su Mo out of the floating elevator to the observation deck at the center of the shipyard, where they could overlook the vast shipyard.

Su Mo was instantly shocked, seeing giant starships neatly docked in rows.

"How many starships are there?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Not many, a total of thirty-six, with ten Star Destroyers and twenty-six special advanced level 5 starships!"

Xia Weiya proudly stated.

"That many? Are they all yours?"

Su Mo inhaled sharply.

"Of course, but it’s alright. It took quite a bit of effort to gather all these."

Xia Weiya said lightly.

"Are they part of the Star Ring City’s fleet?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"No, this is my private fleet. They only take orders from me."

Xia Weiya smiled and said to Su Mo.

"Impressive!"

Su Mo gave Xia Weiya a thumbs up; she wasn’t just strong, she was formidable.

"Actually, although it looks like a lot, it’s not that many. Don’t be fooled by the ten Star Destroyers; none of them are Legendary Level. And the majority are standard Star Destroyers, still not enough. If only I could get one like the God of Na Vessel, that would be perfect."

Xia Weiya said with some regret.

"You’re a large-scale Versailles, that’s too much."

Su Mo couldn’t help but tease. She’s really wealthy, no wonder she dared to challenge Herbert, who’s ranked third, while she’s just ranked fifth, completely skipping over the fourth.

"Am I? Alright, enough joking. Do you see that Star Destroyer on the right?"

Xia Weiya pointed to a massive Star Destroyer docked in the right-side area.

It was a Star Destroyer stretching 180 kilometers, with a grey armor that looked rather unassuming, its overall design resembling a swimming fish.

"What is this?"

Su Mo asked, rubbing his chin.

"This Star Destroyer is the Grey Fin. Its combat performance is average, but it has a strong capability — it can stealth while sailing, and it’s equipped with a pseudo Heart of the Ark, giving it substantial power and endurance, making it highly suitable for search and rescue missions."

Xia Weiya recommended to Su Mo.

"Alright, I’ll take this one. How much do I owe you?"

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Su Mo, Xia Weiya chuckled and said, "No charge."

"Uh, that’s not good."

"There’s nothing bad about it. Do you think I’m lending it to you because of money?"

"No."

"Then it’s settled. Talking about money damages relationships."

"But it doesn’t feel right."

"Alright, stop worrying about it. Focus your energy on figuring out how to deal with that Third Legion Leader."

"Okay."

"I’ll send you the contact information of the Captain of the Grey Fin Star Destroyer, Salile. Just contact him when you’re ready to set off, and he’ll fully cooperate with you."

Xia Weiya raised her hand, fiddled with the electronic bracelet, and sent the contact to Su Mo, along with a message to Salile.

"No problem."

Su Mo looked at the contact information he received and responded.

"And try not to let my people suffer too much. Ships can be bought again if damaged, but it’s hard to train new personnel if they die."

Xia Weiya advised Su Mo with some feeling.

"I understand! Thank you!"

Su Mo replied gratefully.

"That’s good, remember you owe me a favor."

After saying that, Xia Weiya elegantly turned and left.

"Okay, uh?"

Su Mo instinctively nodded, then froze, looking in surprise at Xia Weiya’s leaving figure.
