Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1506 - 1193: A Visit

"There’s a pharmacy ahead, let’s go ask around."

Augustus, in high spirits, led Su Mo to procure supplies.

"Alright."

Su Mo and Augustus walked towards the pharmacy.

The pharmacy seemed quite large, well-decorated, and apparently quite reputable.

At this moment, an energetic old man came up to greet them.

"Are you here to buy medicine?"

"Yes, we need to procure a batch of medicine."

Augustus nodded and replied.

"Alright, here’s the list of the variety and prices of medicines we sell. Take a look, and we can discuss further."

The old man handed over a list directly.

Su Mo found it interesting that they hadn’t even mentioned what they wanted to buy, yet were handed a price list first.

However, Su Mo soon found it hard to smile as he gazed at the list, feeling a bit of a headache.

Augustus’ face turned so dark it could drip water, and he asked with suppressed anger.

"Boss, aren’t these prices wrong? They’re way too high, at least three times more expensive than those in Star Ring City."

"Sir, you must understand, this is the front line; prices are just this high here."

"Fine, even so, why are there restrictions on the quantity we can purchase, and excess quantities need a waiting period, with prices rising as well? Shouldn’t it be cheaper the more we buy?"

Augustus said in a frustrated tone.

"I’m sorry, but those are the rules of our store; maybe you should check somewhere else?"

The old man replied with a smile, showing no intention of backing down.

Su Mo and Augustus exchanged a glance and then left the store to check another place.

Several hours later, Su Mo and Augustus walked out of another store with dark expressions.

"This is a big problem—prices are so high, and there’s a limit on quantities, plus the delivery times can’t be assured."

Augustus was also getting anxious.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and then said to Augustus, "Lord Augustus, don’t worry. I might have a solution."

"What’s the solution?"

Augustus asked eagerly.

"Follow me, we’ll go see someone."

Su Mo then led Augustus towards the interstellar airport.

Black and White Limit Fortress.

In a luxurious room, Nan Qi wore a loose robe, leisurely lying on a chair.

Two identical, beautiful twin women were attending to him, one massaging his shoulders and occasionally feeding him grapes.

Another was gently tapping his feet.

He was thoroughly enjoying it, humming a tune.

At this moment, the AI, Black and White Apostle, appeared and reported to Commander Nan Qi.

"You have a new visitor."

"Who is it? Didn’t I say no visitors today?"

Commander Nan Qi replied, somewhat displeased.

"Someone on your whitelist, the visitor is Colonel Su Mo."

The AI, Black and White Apostle, reported.

Nan Qi suddenly sat up, with a look of surprise; this guy actually came to the front line and sought him out?

The two twin women looked at Commander Nan Qi in confusion.

"Master?"

"Leave, both of you, leave."

Commander Nan Qi waved them off.

Meanwhile, Su Mo and Augustus arrived at the ship bay of the Black and White Limit Fortress aboard the Swift Wind.

On the way here, Su Mo used his bracelet to request a meeting with Commander Nan Qi, and the application went through smoothly.

Augustus looked at Su Mo in astonishment: "Su Mo, who are we here to see? This is the headquarters of the Fifth Legion of Star Ring City."

He had been stationed at the front line for a while and was quite familiar with the distribution of forces.

Currently, the legitimate troops of Star Ring City stationed at the front line consisted of two forces, the Second Legion and the Fifth Legion.

These two legions were highly respected and paid little attention to others.

The Fifth Legion, in particular, was responsible for guarding and managing the Star Gate, a position everyone coveted, with many trying to find connections to gain favor at the Black and White Fortress.

Lil Su Mo just brought him in like this.

"You’ll see soon; let’s disembark first."

Su Mo kept it a mystery.

"Alright."

Augustus nodded in agreement.

They then disembarked from the ship and found Commander Nan Qi smiling and standing there to greet them.

"Hey, brother!"

Commander Nan Qi exclaimed, moving forward to embrace Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled and went up to hug him.

Augustus was frozen in place, rubbing his eyes to confirm that he wasn’t seeing things. This middle-aged man embracing Su Mo was wearing a commander’s uniform.

Could this be Commander Nan Qi of the Fifth Legion?

"Ha-ha, you didn’t even give me a heads up; I could have prepared something for you."

Nan Qi complained affectionately to Su Mo.

"Oh, with our relationship, there’s no need. Besides, if thanks should be given, it should be from me. If it weren’t for you inviting Lady Goli, how would things have gone so smoothly and allowed me to redeploy people so quickly?"

Su Mo said with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Nan Qi’s smile froze, his eyes twitching a little as he thought to himself.

"Redeployment went so smoothly? How could that be? This kid deliberately mentioned Goli, so it seems the truth is mostly out."

Thinking of this, Nan Qi then said to Su Mo with a laugh, "Ha-ha, let’s not talk about that, just minor issues. Brother, what brings you to me this time?"

Seeing Nan Qi’s reaction, Su Mo knew the guy had likely realized what was going on. But that’s exactly what he wanted, or it would be awkward to bring up the next issue.

"Let me introduce you, this is Lord Augustus from the Federation."

Su Mo said with a smile.

"Oh. Augustus, hello!"

Nan Qi smiled brightly and extended his hand to Augustus. Of course, this was because of Su Mo’s presence; he’d seen Augustus initially but had no intention of greeting him.

"Hello, Lord Nan Qi."

Augustus was also flattered, responding excitedly.

Though he seemed to hold a high position in the Federation, such status was utterly useless within the official hierarchy of Star Ring City.

When Alles wanted to plead for Su Mo’s imprisonment, even minor officials dared to pull attitude, let alone Commander Nan Qi.

Su Mo then presented an electronic list to Nan Qi and said, "Here’s the situation: we need to procure some supplies, but the prices from these opportunistic merchants are too high, so we’re here to seek your help."

"So that’s it; let me take a look."

Commander Nan Qi started reviewing the procurement list.

Augustus nervously watched Nan Qi, fearing he might not be willing to help.

After a long while, Nan Qi cleared his throat and said, "The items you need are all hot commodities. I’ve estimated roughly, and it’s about 50 billion."

"Can you get them for me? If it’s 50 billion, then it’s 50 billion."

Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he spoke.
