"The feedback has returned, and it’s ten thousand times worse than imagined. The outbound team explored over three hundred and twenty planets of various sizes and not finding any good resources would have been fine, but the problem is, most of them are waste stars. There’s also a tiny minority that found Level 1 resource stars, which is not a good sign,"
Oubri said with some worry.
"Aside from that, are there any special circumstances?"
Spade asked nonchalantly.
"No abnormalities have been detected so far."
"Then keep on exploring. The operation has just begun; don’t talk like we’re doomed,"
Spade said calmly. Right now, he didn’t care if those who went out to explore found resources or not. He was well aware of their financial situation. His main focus now was on finding the abnormal area and seeing if they could unearth the relics of the Titan Clan.
Oubri immediately responded.
Half a month later, Su Mo piloted the Gluttonous Mecha at high speed through the atmosphere, falling from the sky and elegantly landing on the ground.
Inside the cockpit, Su Mo twisted his head and stretched his neck.
He sighed; he had just finished exploring the western region of this planet’s space and still hadn’t found anything.
Su Mo flipped out a nutrition bar from the side, bit into it, reclined in his pilot seat, and then opened the Star Ring Forum.
Ever since this forum was opened, Su Mo would browse it whenever he had free time, looking for frontline news.
Although everyone was very restrained in their forum posts, there were still an overwhelming number of posts.
From time to time, there would be significant posts appearing.
For example, a man with the ID ’Marlock’, from an unknown civilization, had posted a trade thread, openly selling weapons.
From First Generation Mechas to third-generation ones, he had them all.
Ships ranged from Level 1 to Level 3 as well.
The prices weren’t expensive; basically around half the price that Star Ring City was selling them for.
You could purchase them using resources or Star Coins.
He claimed these weapons were brand new, and that large quantities could be negotiated for a better price.
Normally, this would just be a weapons trader and nothing to worry about. There were thousands, if not hundreds, on the Star Ring Forum claiming to be advanced weapons traders.
But those weapons traders couldn’t withstand scrutiny; they were either scams or second-hand dealers, flipping Star Ring City weapons, scamming clueless customers.
Or dealing in underhanded transactions.
But this guy updated real-time trading photos every day.
Every day, you could see people buying weapons in bulk, and although their faces were mosaic’d out, judging from their physiques and attire, one could basically confirm that the buyers were from different civilizations.
This guy was very likely a real arms dealer, and the kind who manufactured them himself.
There was another thread that also caught Su Mo’s attention.
This thread specialized in selling information, saying very clearly that as long as the price offered was high enough, any information could be provided.
The number of people replying to purchase information was huge, looking very enticing.
But that’s not the most important point. The crucial aspect was that the thread was also buying information at high prices.
This wasn’t good at all; if someone was short on money and got a hot head, selling off their country’s secrets, that would be a real joke.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes, feeling that the world might really heat up. Although everyone was cannon fodder, it was possible that even the cannon fodder could have their day in the sun.
Just then, Zhao Wushuang’s communication image came through.
"The mining operations on this side have been progressing steadily, and the output has been stable. However, regrettably, other exploration teams haven’t found resources elsewhere on this planet,"
Zhao Wushuang reported routinely. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by N()velFire.net
After listening, Su Mo stretched and replied, "I see. Alright, General Zhao Wushuang, I leave full authority to you here. I plan to explore some more distant areas, to see if there are any better spots."
He wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all. He hadn’t been idle over the past dozen days; he had piloted the Gluttonous Mecha and conducted local searches himself, without any gains. So finding new mining spots wasn’t going to be easy.
Zhao Wushuang nodded in response.
After cutting off communication, Su Mo turned to the Fake Owner · Devourer and said with a smile, "It’s up to you next. We need to get serious about exploring now."
"I know what to do; you don’t need to remind me,"
The Fake Owner · Devourer replied in a deep voice. Of course, it was so agreeable because it had received favors from Mina.
"Alright, then we’ll head to the deeper reaches of this starry space,"
Su Mo’s gaze became serious, his confidence in the abilities of the Fake Owner · Devourer unwavering.
