Chapter 987 Mission (Second 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 10 trillion star coins will be paid for you."
"Whatever mission you want, just tell me! As long as you don't let me create a rebellion in Halo City, anything will do!"
Su Mo replied confidently.
"Don't be so confident. What I want is very dangerous. Deep in Ceres, there is something called the Fruit of Para. It grows in the area with the strongest negative energy pollution. I want you to bring it away within a year and a half. Come back.”
The old man said while coughing violently.
"The Fruit of Para? What is that? I've never heard of it. And are you sure that fruits will grow on a planet like Ceres, where the environment is so harsh that even wearing a mechanical armor is unbearable?"
Su Mo felt very incredible.
"The specific information is here."
The old man took out a small box and handed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo's expression changed, and he stretched out his hand to take it. He was not naive enough to think that this task was easy to accomplish.
If this task is worth ten trillion, it is destined to be extremely difficult.
There was also a time limit, so Su Mo tried to ask, "Old man, this Para Fruit should be used to heal your body, otherwise why is there a time limit?"
"That's right, so you have to find it within the specified time. If you can, the sooner the better!"
The old man didn't hide anything from Su Mo.
"Don't worry, I will definitely find it within a year and a half."
Su Mo hurriedly patted his chest and promised that joking would not cause anything to happen to the old man, otherwise where would he be able to get credit in the future? Besides, he was counting on him for his mecha.
"Well, cough cough."
The old man didn't say much, he just kept coughing.
It can be seen that he is indeed feeling uncomfortable.
"I'm going to prepare now. By the way, I have something to tell you. When you are processing the Crazy-Eye Rainhawk, don't erase the remaining consciousness in it."
When Su Mo was about to leave, something suddenly occurred to him and he quickly gave instructions to 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 know."
"Where should the materials be sent?"
Su Mo asked quickly.
The old man picked up a pen and wrote an address on the paper, then tore it off and handed it to Su Mo.
"Okay, I will ask the people below to send it over. By the way, how long will it take to get my mecha? Can it be used in time for me to use it on Ceres?"
Su Mo asked expectantly.
"Come back and pick it up in three years."
The old man replied directly without thinking.
"Damn, three years is so long."
Su Mo was stunned. He thought it would be done in a month at most.
"Do you think the V-generation biological mecha is so easy to build? Not to mention that yours is not an ordinary V-generation mecha. It can be built for you within three years. I have people working overtime and going all out to build it. , if you dislike being slow, you can find someone else.”
The old man replied coldly.
"No, no, just three years. Actually, I'm not too slow, it's mainly for you."
Su Mo explained quickly.
"For me?"
The old man looked unbelieving.
"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 I explore this mecha without taking advantage of it? I just thought that the mecha was built, and I just happened to get it. Go explore and help you find things and bring them back as soon as possible.”
Su Mo vowed, as if he was thinking about the old man's health.
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 another box from behind the counter and handed it to Su Mo, saying coldly.
"What is placed here is the activation key of the V-generation biological mecha, the Light of Sinful Abyss. I will have that mecha sent to your ship and lend it to you first."
"Didn't you say that this mecha cannot be seen in the light and cannot be discovered by the Star Ring City? Is it okay for me to use it like this?"
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 outer star field, on Ceres. Can the City of Star Ring control you?"
The old man replied coldly.
"It makes sense, then I'll accept it."
Su Mo thought about it carefully and replied happily, now all his worries were solved.
"Go, remember to bring the things back to me within a year and a half, otherwise the consequences will be serious."
The old man gave a rare instruction. This has never happened before. It can be seen how much he attaches importance to it, and it also indirectly shows that his physical condition is no longer optimistic.
"Don't worry, it'll be no problem."
Su Mo immediately took the things and left the grocery store.
The old man looked at Su Mo's leaving figure, his cloudy eyes swaying.
Su Mo was in a very happy mood after leaving the grocery store, and the matter was finally settled.
"Xiao Qi, tell me, isn't my mecha the pinnacle of the V generation? With my blessing, can it match the VI generation mecha? Is there any chance to challenge it beyond the next level?"
He picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Sun Duoxiang, asking him to deliver the materials, while speaking to the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
"The gap between Generation VI and Generation V is like a natural hazard. It seems close, but it can make you extremely desperate. In my impression, there is only one person who can cross this gap, so don't dream."
The Forger, the Devourer, retorted without hesitation.
"That's too much. Are you looking down on me?"
"I'm telling the truth. Your current level can only be said to be excellent, but it's still not up to the heaven-defying level. There is still a long way to go in the future, but I can't blame you. Who made your starting point so low? .”
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, analyzed rationally.
"What if I add you, is there any chance?"
Su Mo asked angrily.
"Yes!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied without hesitation.
"Damn, you really have double standards. When you talk about yourself, you don't even hesitate."
Su Mo couldn't help but complain.
"I am the Creator, I am God myself, there is no need to hesitate!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied without hesitation.
"You are fake."
"That's not something you, a genetically trashy carbon-based life, can evaluate."
"That's too much. You are firing a map cannon"
"What I said is the truth."
At dusk, Su Mo was complaining to each other about the forger, the Devourer, while walking towards the Shadow. The shadow was getting longer and longer.
——
A few days later.
Earth Star·Free City Interstellar Airport.
The Shadow descended slowly.
After it stabilizes, the exit slowly opens.
Su Mo, Qian Chengxue and others walked down.
"We are finally back." (End of Chapter)
