Chapter 987: Quest (2nd Update)
The old man coughed a few times, and said to Su Mo in a cold voice: "I have a task here, if you can do it well, the additional cost of ten trillion star coins will be paid for you." β
"What a task, you just say! As long as you don't let me make the Star Ring City, anything will do! β
Su Mo replied with an oath.
"Don't be so confident, what I want is dangerous. In the depths of Ceres, there's something called the Fruit of Parra, which grows in the most polluted areas of negative energy, and I want you to bring it back in a year and a half. β
The old man said as he coughed violently.
"The fruit of Para? What is that? I've never heard of it, and you're sure that a planet like Ceres, which has an extremely harsh environment and can't stand it in mechanical armor, will have fruit growing? β
Su Mo felt very incredible.
"The details are here."
The old man took out a very small box and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo's expression changed for a while, and he stretched out his hand to take it, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that this task was easy to do.
If this task can be worth ten trillion, it is destined to be not ordinarily difficult.
And there is a time limit, Su Mo tried to ask; "Old man, this Pala fruit should not be used to treat your body, otherwise how can there be a time limit?"
"That's right, so you have to find it within the allotted time, and the sooner you can, the better!"
The old man didn't hide it from Su Mo.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find it in a year and a half."
Su Mo hurriedly patted his chest and reassured, he couldn't let this old man have an accident if he was joking, otherwise he would be credited in the future, and his mecha was still counting on him.
"Well, ahem....."
The old man didn't say much, just kept coughing.
It can be seen that he is indeed unwell.
"I'm going to prepare, by the way, I'll tell you something. That Crazy Eye Rainhawk, don't erase the residual consciousness in it while you're working on it. β
When Su Mo was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly instructed 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 see."
"Where is the material delivered?"
Su Mo hurriedly asked.
The old man picked up a pen and wrote down an address on a piece of paper, then tore it off and handed it to Su Mo.
"Okay, I'll let the people below send it over. By the way, how long will it take for my mecha to be retrieved, and will it be able to catch me up to use it on Ceres? β
Su Mo asked expectantly.
"I'll pick it up in three years."
The old man didn't even think about it, and replied directly.
"Damn, three years is so long."
Su Mo was suddenly stunned, he thought that it would be done in a month at most.
"Are you so easy to build as a V-generation biomecha? Not to mention that your machine is not an ordinary V-generation mecha, it can be built for you in three years, and I have asked people to work overtime and go all out to make it, if you dislike it, you can find someone else. β
The old man replied coldly.
"No, no, three years is three years. Actually, I'm not too slow, mainly for you. β
Su Mo hurriedly explained.
"For me?"
The old man looked incredulous.
"It's really for you, aren't I going to Ceres to find medicine for you, you also know how dangerous Ceres is, how can this mecha that doesn't take advantage of it explore? I'm thinking that the mecha is ready, and I'll just take it to explore and help you find something to bring back as soon as possible. β
Su Mo swore an oath, looking like he was thinking about the old man's body.
Although the old man didn't believe what Su Mo said at all, in general, what Su Mo said made sense.
So the old man took out a box from behind the counter again and handed it to Su Mo, and said indifferently.
"Here is the activation key of the V-generation creature mecha - Light of the Abyss, I will have someone send that mecha to your ship and lend it to you first."
"Didn't you say that this mecha can't see the light of day and can't be discovered by the City of Star Rings? Is it okay for me to use it like this? β
Su Mo's eyes lit up, but he asked with some concern.
"As long as you don't use it in the Star Ring City, you can use it in the outside star field, on the Ceres Star, can the Star Ring City City get you?"
The old man replied coldly.
"That makes sense, then I'll take it."
Su Mo pondered it carefully, and replied very happily, now his worries have been solved.
"Go ahead, remember to bring me back within a year and a half, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
The old man gave a rare multiplication, which had never appeared before. It can be seen how much he attaches importance to him, and at the same time, it also indirectly shows that his physical condition is no longer optimistic.
"Don't worry, no problem."
Su Mo then took his things and left the grocery store.
The old man looked at the back of Su Mo leaving, his cloudy eyes kept shaking.
......
Su Mo was confused when he left the grocery store, and he was also very happy, and the matter was finally finalized.
"Xiao Yu, you say, isn't my mecha the pinnacle of Generation V? Looking back and adding my blessing, can you match the mecha of the VI generation, and is there a chance to skip the challenge? β
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Sun Duoxiang, asking him to send the materials, and said to the counterfeiter Devourer.
"The gap between Gen VI and Gen V is like natural hazards, it seems to be close, but it can make you extremely desperate. In my memory, there is only one person who can cross this ditch, so don't dream. β
The Forger Devourer retorted without hesitation.
"It'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 you can't reach the level of defying the sky. There's still a long way to go, but I can't blame you for it, who made your starting point so low. β
The Forger Devourer reasoned.
"What if I add you, is there a chance?"
Su Mo asked angrily.
"Yes!"
The Forger Devourer replied without hesitation.
"Damn, you are really a double standard, when you talk about yourself, you don't even hesitate."
Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"I am the Creator, and I am God myself, so what is there to hesitate about!"
The Forger Devourer replied without hesitation.
"You're a Fake ....."
"That's not something you can evaluate as a carbon-based life of genetic garbage."
"It's too much, you're firing a map cannon...."
"I'm telling the truth...."
......
At dusk, Su Mo complained to each other with the Forger Owner Devourer as he walked towards the Shadow, and the shadow became longer and longer.
......
---------------------------------------------------
A few days later.
Earth Star Liberty City Interstellar Airport.
The Shadow descended slowly.
After the stabilization is settled, the exit slowly opens.
Su Mo, Qianchengxue and the others walked down.
"We're finally back."
