Chapter 407: Mutation
Su Mo thought for a while, then hurriedly left here and returned to the ship.
The money is spent, and the matter is done, so it is not easy to be targeted and make extraneous branches.
Don't look at the Star Ring City, it seems to be very big, but in fact, the area where Su Mo is active now is the surface trading market. And this trading market is an area where members of the Federation often hang out, and as for other civilized people, they are more active in the trading area next door, staggered from each other, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding in disguise.
After all, no one can figure out who is wrong, so they simply try not to intersect as much as possible.
Su Mo walked towards the airport, but when he was halfway there, he bumped into Xiao Wen and Chen Shan head-on.
"Su Mo!"
Chen Shan greeted with a smile.
"Chen Shan, Xiao Wen, why are you here, I was planning to return to the ship."
"We've just finished our business, buy something, do you want to go together."
Xiao Wen asked with a smile.
"Okay!"
Su Mo didn't refuse, although he had no money. But it's good to get to know more things even if you go shopping.
"Let's go together, how are you doing?"
Chen Shan warmly hooked Su Mo's shoulder and asked briskly.
Su Mo thought for a while, but didn't know how to describe it, so he replied, "It's okay." ”
"It's okay, by the way, Su Mo, don't you buy something?"
Xiao Wen looked at Su Mo, who was empty-handed, and asked.
Su Mo replied calmly: "No, the money has been spent." ”
Chen Shan said with a smile: "Is it that if you don't control it for a while, you spend it cleanly." ”
"Sort of."
"Don't be embarrassed, it's normal. Let me tell you the truth, if Xiao Wen hadn't stopped me along the way, I would have run out of money long ago. Let's go shopping together, if you like it, tell me, brother, help you out. ”
Chen Shan patted his chest generously and said.
"Thank you."
Su Mo didn't refuse.
So the three of them continued to wander around the street shops, and they first walked to a roadside stall. The boss was a man with long braids and grayish-blue skin, who was tall, at least two meters long, but very thin.
Its stalls are littered with things.
In the trading area of Star Ring City, except for some more powerful shops with warehouses, general shops and stalls, the things placed are all their belongings.
After all, houses are so expensive here, how many people can afford to rent a shop.
In addition, apart from the mechanical columns, there are basically no shops that sell low-rank ships, because low-rank ships are too expensive to dock.
The cost of stopping for a while is higher than the price of the ship.
So it's basically selling some parts and stuff like that.
Xiao Wen squatted down at this time, picked up some metal round patches, and asked, "How do you sell these translation patches?" ”
"You really have an eye, 1.5 star coins a piece, a large amount can be cheap."
When the stall owner saw that there was business, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's too expensive, 0.5 stars a piece."
"I can't sell it, and the cost is less."
"You don't have to fool me, the mechanical column only sells for 1 star coin, you dare to open 1.5 star coins, just 0.5 star coins more than a cent."
Xiao Wen's attitude was very resolute.
The stall owner's expression changed for a while, and finally he sighed and asked, "How much do you want?" ”
"Fifty pieces."
"Okay."
The stall owner immediately pulled out a box from a box behind him and handed it to Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen picked up his card and swiped it on the stall owner's machine, and paid for the star coins.
"What do you buy these for?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"It's a language translation patch, and that's what we rely on to communicate with people of different civilizations. The reason why you don't have a lot of language communication in the city is because the people here use it. Once you meet someone who doesn't use the translation patch, the communication will be problematic, and these metal patches are recorded in advance, and all the languages involved in the Star Ring civilization can help you translate the message, and you can also help you translate the language that is spoken, otherwise the devil knows what you're talking about. Here, I'll give you a slice. ”
After Xiao Wen finished explaining, he took out a piece from it and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo took it and looked at it, and it felt quite magical, proper black technology.
"How do I use it?"
"Stick it on the side of your neck and try not to get too far away from your vocal cords, so it's better."
Chen Shan pointed to the side of his neck, which was also attached to it.
"Okay."
Su Mo put it away.
"A few guests, you can take a look at the other things I have on the stall, they are all good goods, and many of them are dug up from the ruins of civilization outside."
The stall owner diligently continued to sell other things.
Xiao Wen looked at the things in the stall, most of them were old objects. And most of it looks like scrap parts and some weird ores.
He couldn't tell the effect at all, and with limited funds, he was suddenly uninterested.
"No need, let's go, go ahead and have a look."
"Don't go, I'm here to sell top-secret information. Let me tell you, when I was young, I was the commander of the King of Hetas, and I had a dozen standard warships. I know the ruins of the material reserves left behind after the fall of the Hetas Kingdom, and if you are interested, I can sell them to you cheaply. ”
The stall owner in front of him suddenly became anxious, his business was getting worse and worse, and he was about to be unable to pay taxes.
Su Mo couldn't help but look at Xiao Wen, he was very curious about what Xiao Wen would do.
As a result, Xiao Wen said in a deep voice: "We don't just buy news, but if you are willing to go with us, our federation is willing to pay you a sum of money." ”
Unexpectedly, the stall owner in front of him heard Xiao Wen's words, and his head shook like a rattle.
"No, no, I'll sell it to someone else."
The surviving people here dare to deceive the newcomers, and that's because the City of Star Rings is absolutely forbidden to conflict. As long as it's not an on-site transaction scam, it's useless to come to your door afterwards.
But if you follow the newcomer out of Star Ring City, you will become a fish on the board. When the money doesn't arrive, it will be torture to greet yourself.
Not as a last resort, no one wants to leave the City of Star Rings.
Xiao Wen saw that the other party was unwilling, and he no longer forced it, and anyone who was unwilling to leave with him was false, and ninety-nine out of a hundred pieces of information given were false.
Even if one percent is true, who can bet on it.
So Su Mo and the three of them continued to wander forward, there were a lot of stalls here.
At this time, Su Mo saw a stall selling a large number of books, and the price was extremely cheap, ten one-star coins. Of course, if you look at the printed materials of the book, you can see that they are pirated prints, and there are also information disks sold next to the books.
The stall owner was a silver-haired woman wearing a very special blue dress, and her delicate and beautiful face was full of melancholy.
Su Mo squatted down and flipped through them, each book looked quite strange.
Chen Shan opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, do you want this?"
"Well, lend me some Star Coins, and I'll buy some."
"What you said, how many star coins can you have, you can pick and choose."
"Then you're welcome."
Su Mo picked out some books, then took a few more data disks, and asked
"How much."
The girl in front of her stretched out her hand and made a sound as beautiful as a nightingale.
"Five-star coins."
Listening to the girl in front of her speak, it was like a kind of enjoyment, and the tone was very special.
After Chen Shan picked up the card and paid the money, he muttered in a low voice.
"This girl, shouldn't she have been a star before, her voice is so special."
Xiao Wen opened his mouth to remind Chen Shan: "Don't speculate about other people's past. ”
"Oh."
Chen Shan immediately reacted, after the collapse of civilization, basically none of the people who survived in Star Ring City were vegetarians, and of course most of them had memories that could not be looked back on.
If you say the wrong thing and make people angry, it will be troublesome.
"We're visiting a few stalls, it's almost time to go back."
Xiao Wen looked at his phone and said.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly made a puzzled voice: "This is." ”
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan turned their heads to look at Su Mo, only to see Su Mo squatting down, picking up a mecha model on the stall, and looking left and right.
"This thing looks a lot like the second-generation mecha black steel, although it's a little different in appearance."
"Is it the second-generation mecha black steel, or the enhanced version, how can this mecha be sold."
Xiao Wen immediately became interested, knowing that their legion had only been assigned to the first generation of mechs so far. It's not that federal procurement can't afford it, but that the number of federal procurement is extremely rare, and more people are purchasing production lines and technologies to want sustainable development.
"Twenty thousand star coins."
The beautiful stall owner in front of him raised his head and replied melancholy.
Hearing this figure, Xiao Wen was embarrassed, this price was far beyond his ability to bear. When he came to Star Ring City this time, he didn't carry a total of 15,000 star coins, and he basically purchased about the same.
I like it, but it's still too expensive.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Wen?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.
Su Mo and the three of them turned their heads to look over, only to see Mo Baoke coming over with a group of subordinates. At this time he was wearing a federal military uniform and still had the rank of colonel.
The position is just the same level as Xiao Wen.
"Mobaok? Is there something wrong? ”
Xiao Wen's voice was very cold, before in the Star Ring World, the two legions of them had no less conflict. Of course, that's nothing, after all, it's all in the past, and the problem is that Xiao Wen doesn't have any good feelings for this guy.
Because of his personality and pompous style, he hates the most.
"Don't be so cold, how can you say that you will be a companion in the future, look up and don't look down, you're shopping."
"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"
Su Mo was also very uninterested in Mo Baoke, this guy suddenly appeared, it must be no good.
Mo Baoke turned his head to look at Su Mo, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he became, and suddenly remembered, isn't this guy the guy who hurt himself very badly? He robbed his mecha and caused him to lose a lot of gold points, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an enemy, and his anger suddenly rushed upward, and it was really a narrow road.
"It's you, Su Mo!"
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Shan directly blocked in front of Su Mo.
Seeing Chen Shan blocking in front of him, Mo Baoke suddenly came back to his senses, and he only remembered at this time.
Now it seems that it is not as good as ever, they are all people from the Federation. And Long Ming also became the president of the Federal Assembly, so he said with a smile. "What do you want to do, this is not the first time I have seen Su Mo in person, I am a little too excited."
"It's better to be like this, don't think anything crooked."
Chen Shan warned.
"Look at what you said, it's too late for me to admire. Don't talk about this, what are you looking at, yo, you have a good eye, the best second-generation mecha. ”
Mobaok replied with a smile, and at the same time looked at the mecha model, which he recognized at a glance.
"It's none of your business."
Chen Shan replied angrily.
Mo Baoke didn't care, he looked at the stall owner, his eyes lit up, what a beautiful girl, so he asked.
"Girl, how do you sell this mecha?"
"Twenty thousand star coins."
"20,000 star coins are not expensive, Brother Xiao Wen hurry up and buy it."
Mo Baoke opened his eyes and said nonsense, 20,000 star coins is not expensive, converted into the current federal coins, the price has reached 200 million federal coins.
Shawyn didn't reply to Mobaok's words.
Seeing that Xiao Wen's expression was not very good, Mo Baoke immediately reacted, and said with a sly smile: "Brother Xiao Wen, you shouldn't have enough money." If that's the case, tell your brother, brother will pay for you, I'm very generous, don't be embarrassed. ”
The more Mo Baoke spoke, the more proud he became, you must know that in the Star Ring World, their territory was next to each other, and they clashed with Xiao Wen all year round, and they suffered a lot of losses every time.
In his opinion, this guy always has a haughty and disdainful look. Now that it is so good to squeeze the other party's opportunity, how can he give it up.
Chen Shan's face on the side is not very good-looking, isn't this deliberately finding fault? I know they don't have much money in their hands, but they still say so. You know, these guys spend all day digging for gold, and of course they're very rich.
On the contrary, Su Mo thought about it, this second-generation mecha could deal with most of the dangers of normal tasks.
Its importance is self-evident, and now that funding is so tight. Even if there is an assignment in the future, it is estimated that there are not many, and one more is a point of combat effectiveness.
It's not a game now, it's not like it's over if you fail the mission, you're going to die, there's no regret medicine.
It's nothing to lose some face, and the reason why Mo Baoke is so generous is obviously to grasp Xiao Wen's character, and he will definitely not agree, since this is the case, then simply do the opposite, there is no need to use money in vain, and there will be no land in this village.
Just as Xiao Wen was about to open his mouth to refuse, Su Mo suddenly interrupted Xiao Wen's words.
"Okay, then I'll thank you for Captain Shawin, please pay."
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of Mo Baoke and the others suddenly stiffened, including Xiao Wen and Chen Shan.
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan looked at Su Mo incredulously.
Su Mo reminded the two of them with his eyes, it is better to agree, what is it to lose some face, this is a genuine mecha.
Although Xiao Wen and Chen Shan were very uncomfortable, they also remained silent, which could be regarded as acquiescing to Su Mo's words.
So it was Mo Baoke's turn and the others were not calm, Mo Baoke squeezed out an ugly smile and said: "I want to, but the problem is that Captain Xiao Wen doesn't seem to want it very much." ”
Su Mo said calmly; "Our family, Lord Xiao Wen, won't mind, and it just so happens that our legion is short of mechas, Lord Mobaok is so eager for justice and justice, how can he sweep your face, you say?"
Xiao Wen took a deep breath and replied very awkwardly.
"Su Mo is right, thank you, then I'm welcome."
Mo Baoke's face is green, 20,000 star coins!!
Su Mo looked at Mo Baoke, who looked very excited, and said very calmly: "Lord Mo Baoke, please pay, a big man of your status should not break his word, right?" ”
"Nonsense, how could I break my word, I pay."
Mo Baok awkwardly pulled the card out of his pocket.
Su Mo quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the card over, and said to the stall owner.
"Swipe your card!"
He was afraid that this guy Mobaok would suddenly regret it.
The beautiful girl stall owner in front of him took the card, swiped off the money inside, and then took out a bill of lading from his pocket and handed it to Su Mo.
"You can follow the information on the bill of lading and go to the Z281 sundries storage warehouse to pick up the mecha stored inside."
"Good!"
Su Mo took it over, without the slightest embarrassment.
Mobaok saw that the money was paid, and he stumbled and almost fainted.
"Thank you, Lord Mobaok, this is your card, please keep it."
Su Mo handed the card back to Mo Baoke, and said nonchalantly, without much gratitude at all.
Mo Baoke's face was even more like a pig's trotters, and when he took the card, he instinctively wanted to reach out and take the pick-up list in Su Mo's hand.
It's a pity that Su Mo turned around and handed the pickup list to Xiao Wen.
"Lord Xiao Wen, this is the pick-up list, you have it."
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan both looked very hard, and they both wanted to laugh a little.
"Okay."
Xiao Wen unceremoniously put away the pick-up list.
Mo Baoke's eyes were staring at the list of picks, and his eyeballs were about to fall out, he was really dumb and couldn't say what he was suffering from.
"That Su Mo, how can you pay me back."
"Lord Mobaok, look at what you say, are we the kind of people who can pay our debts? But as you know, we really don't have any money on hand right now, so if you wait a little longer, and when we have the money to pay it back, I know you won't care about it. ”
"What year!"
Mobaok's face was about to collapse.
"Questions?"
Su Mo asked rhetorically.
"Nope."
Although Mo Baoke's flesh hurts, he is the uncle who borrowed money this year, and if he provokes these guys, he will be in trouble if he doesn't pay back the money.
"That Lord Mobaok, we still have a lot of things in mind. If you can help us with some more, we really appreciate it. ”
Su Mo asked calmly.
Mobaok is like a cat with its tail stepped on, with its cold hair standing up all over its body, and it is a fart.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do, so I left first."
Saying that, Mobaok slipped away with people in a bit of a panic, for fear that he would say the wrong thing later.
"Walk slowly! Ha ha! ”
Chen Shan looked at Mo Baoke and the others who left in embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Wen stretched out his hand and patted Su Mo's shoulder, and said with some emotion: "I don't know how to thank you." ”
"Su Mo, you are really awesome, you made that guy unable to get off the stage, and he really paid for it. We took a mech for nothing, and we're really thankful. ”
"What is there to be thankful for, it's not me who pays, but sometimes face is actually worthless. Because we are about to face the cruel reality, weapons are the confidence, so let's get our hands on it first, maybe a mecha can save our closest companions, as for the money, we will pay it back later. ”
On the contrary, Su Mo saw it very thoroughly, I don't know why, since the injection of the gene injection, Su Mo felt that his thoughts were becoming clearer and clearer, as if he had become smarter.
"You're right, Chen Shan and I really have to reflect and learn to be flexible."
Shawn nodded.
"Actually, it's nothing, it's good to have principles."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
Just when Su Mo and the three of them were talking, a very polite voice sounded.
"Captain Xiao Wen is really you, I can see you from afar, but I am a little unconvinced, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Xiao Wen and the three turned to look over, today is really a good day, and they keep meeting acquaintances.
The people who came were none other than Ye Wuxian, Ye Wei, and Xiao Jie, among whom Ye Wuxian was followed by a blonde woman with blue eyes, wearing a bright red skirt, and a tall figure. This woman, Su Mo, could see at a glance that Miss Betsy, the top star of the Federation.
It looked as if they were accompanying Miss Betsy on a shopping trip.
"Mr. Ye Wuxian."
Xiao Wen replied coldly, he was not interested in it, and Ye Wuxian also took the credit of Qiancheng Xue, so he was even more uninterested.
"Yo, isn't this Su Mo, I didn't expect to be able to see you here. I said how did you quit and run so fast, the relationship is hugging a new thigh! No, you can't call Su Mo, you should call Su Mo. ”
Ye Wei looked Su Mo up and down and sneered, it was this kid who did a lot of things for Qianchengxue.
Xiao Jie's gaze also fell on Su Mo at this time, and a trace of imperceptible hostility flashed in his eyes, and then returned to his original state.
Ye Wuxian also noticed Su Mo at this time, and he was also a little surprised that Su Mo was actually with Xiao Wen's army, and he was still wearing a military uniform. Although from the style point of view, it is not in the preparation, but it seems to be mixed quite well.
This kid does have some ability, he really didn't look away at the beginning, he is a talent.
Then Ye Wuxian scolded Ye Wei solemnly: "How did my sister speak, the tenth department of the Dawn Group has been disbanded, and it is normal for everyone to have their own ambitions." Besides, Mr. Su Mo had made a lot of contributions to the Dawn Guild at the beginning, so he spoke politely. Mr. Su Mo, don't worry too much, my little sister is like this. ”
"It's fine."
Su Mo replied lightly.
Ye Wuxian said with a smile: "Mr. Su Mo has time, we can get together." If you are interested, you can also come back, the conditions are open to you, and the door of the Dawn Group will always be open like you. ”
What he said was very level, on the one hand, he looked at Xiao Wen's face and gave Su Mo face. On the other hand, I want to try to dig Su Mo back.
Chen Shan said impatiently: "Mr. Ye Wuxian, if there is anything else, it's okay, we have to go first,"
He saw that Ye Wuxian was annoyed, and he couldn't help but want to spray this guy, a thief.
"Chen Shan, you are really urgent, it's rare to meet and talk."
Although Ye Wuxian was polite to Chen Shan, he was not as respectful as Xiao Wen. Because he is now a real lieutenant colonel, one level higher than Chen Shan.
At this time, Miss Betsy said lightly: "Mr. Ye Wuxian, why don't you talk to your friends first, and I'll go shopping by myself." ”
Ye Wuxian immediately responded with a smile: "No, let's just say hello, Miss Betsy, let's go to the front store to have a look, there are a lot of good things for sale over there." ”
"Okay."
Betsy replied lightly.
"Captain Xiao Wen, let's go first, and we'll talk when we have time."
Ye Wuxian and the others left.
Su Mo couldn't help but glance at it, feeling that this guy was pursuing Miss Betsy.
Chen Shan snorted coldly: "That Ye Wuxian guy is really snobbish enough, I remember that when he saw us before, he was as respectful as he wanted." Now it's really a rising tide, and it's not the same thing to talk about, so it's strange that someone like him can catch up with Miss Becky. ”
"Forget Chen Shan, don't mention those, let's go pick up the goods and return home."
Xiao Wen said lightly.
"Good!"
......
------------------------
The next day, after Su Mo returned to his villa, he went up to the second floor and closed the door.
He put the books he had purchased on the shelves and sat down on the couch.
Close your eyes and concentrate on quietly feeling the forgery in your body.
In an instant, Su Mo felt that he was in a pitch-black world.
He could clearly see a black, silent mechanical sphere floating in front of him.
Su Mo concentrated, trying to touch it to see if it could be activated.
As a result, as soon as the thought moved, his spirit just touched the forgery master's light brain, and an extremely disgusting and cold touch directly swept through Su Mo's whole body.
It's like being wrapped around the whole body by a cold snake, slippery and greasy, cold and cold.
In an instant, Su Mo felt extremely nauseous and cold, opened his eyes suddenly, and kept retching.
The heart is beating faster.
Su Mo gasped for breath and recovered for a while.
"How so?"
His expression changed for a while, revealing an unwilling expression, what he spent so much money to buy, he couldn't activate it.
Su Mo was a little unconvinced, he slowly closed his eyes and tried again.
Once!
Twice!
Three times!
.........
Su Mo didn't know how many times he had tried, and the strong negative pollution made him feel very uncomfortable.
But Su Mo didn't give up, I don't know how many times he tried, Su Mo concentrated all his energy and forcibly touched the light brain.
In the world of the pitch-black spirit, the floating black light brain finally moved.
Its surface began to crack, and sticky black tentacles extended from the inside, instantly binding Su Mo.
In an instant, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes like a fierce beast, and his left eye turned a deep dark red. His entire face began to distort, a black aura emanated from his body, and his entire head was filled with cries of death and desperate roars. Su Mo suddenly felt that the whole world had turned dark red, and his eyes were extremely red.
Endless anger rose from the bottom of my heart, as if I wanted to devour it cleanly.
"Ahh
Su Mo became extremely violent at this moment!
His inexplicable desire to kill and destroy, he looked at the humanoid figure placed on the cabinet and smashed it with a frantic punch.
Bang!
The entire wooden cabinet was torn apart, and one by one the figures fell to the ground and shattered.
