“Hey, this money is really hard to earn. First, I had to compete with Star Ring City for resources, and then I got ganged up on by top experts from the Gomo Toth Empire. I almost lost my life.”

Su Mo complained helplessly.

Actually, it wasn't that he liked to complain, but he was doing it on purpose. After all, there's a saying that a squeaky wheel gets the grease. Complaining a bit more might prevent the other party from thinking you had it too easy, and reducing the reward.

“The reward is equal to the effort. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.”

The old man replied in a hoarse voice.

“That makes sense. Cough, even though I brought that thing back, to be on the safe side, let's open it and take a look, check it out, see if it's what you want.”

Su Mo said, putting on a very reliable appearance.

As a result, the old man directly raised his hand to stop him, looking at Su Mo with a playful expression.

“No need to check.”

“How can that be? I'm a very responsible person. Such a big task, we have to check and confirm it, right?”

“No need, can't be wrong.”

“Can't be so careless. What if it's wrong? What if you don't acknowledge it later and come looking for trouble? Just take a peek.”

Su Mo said very enthusiastically, his heart itching like crazy. As long as he opened the box, he could see what was inside.

“No need.”

The old man seemed to have seen through Su Mo's little thoughts long ago. How could he give Su Mo the opportunity?

“Just in case.”

Su Mo was still unwilling to give up. He was curious to death. The photo the old man gave him was so blurry that he couldn't see anything clearly.

He was very curious about what kind of stone tablet could entangle the Gomo Toth Empire, the Fallen God Church, Star Ring City, and the old man’s forces.

“Cough, cough!”

The old man was about to speak when he suddenly coughed violently. He took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth.

Unfortunately, the handkerchief was stained red.

Su Mo was also startled and quickly asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

“I'm fine, don't worry about it. If you have the time, hurry up and send over the remaining two materials, the biological wings, and the other optional materials.”

The old man quickly adjusted his condition. He put away the silk handkerchief and said in an unfriendly tone.

“Cough, cough, okay. When you're manufacturing, you won't cut corners on me, right?”

Su Mo asked with some worry.

“What do you think?”

The old man didn't even bother to pay attention to Su Mo.

“Haha, I'm just kidding. Since the matter is over, I'll leave first.”

As Su Mo spoke, he prepared to leave, piloting the V-generation bio-mech, Abyss Light.

Just then, the old man raised his hand and patted the armor of the V-generation bio-mech, Abyss Light, and said in a hoarse voice.

“Where are you going?”

“Haha, isn't everything okay? Of course, I'm leaving.”

Su Mo replied, pretending to be stupid.

“Planning to pilfer it? Take this mech away as well?”

The old man revealed a playful expression on his old face.

“No, I'm just used to operating it, I forgot for a moment. This mech is quite easy to use. How about you let me borrow it for a while?”

Su Mo responded awkwardly after being exposed.

“No.”

“Then can I rent it with money? Anyway, my V-generation bio-mech is with you, you don't have to worry about me running away.”

Su Mo coughed and said.

“No.”

The old man still refused mercilessly.

“Why?”

Su Mo didn't quite understand. Why was this old man so stubborn?

The old man replied hoarsely, “As long as you dare to drive this mech out of this port, you will immediately be in trouble. It will be difficult for you to move forward. Are you sure you want to drive it out?”

“Is it that serious? Then why did you let me drive the mech out of the ship?”

Su Mo asked curiously.

“This is my private port. Do you think anyone can see it? And even if someone sees it, do you think they'll live? Get down. I need to take this mech back and deal with it.”

The old man replied indifferently.

Su Mo turned his head and looked around. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Such a big port was actually the old man's?

So many ships were docked here. Weren't they all his?

Su Mo took a deep breath and opened the bio-cabin, jumping down.

The old man waved his hand. A man with a strong physique, wearing a set of special V-generation dark-red modified armor, with a twisted pattern engraved on his chest, exuding a terrifying aura of slaughter, and whose appearance could not be clearly seen, walked forward.

When this man passed by Su Mo, his wild eyes glanced at Su Mo.

Su Mo keenly noticed the unusual gaze. He was also slightly surprised. This burly man gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Then the man went straight into the bio-cabin of the V-generation bio-mech, Abyss Light.

The bio-cabin re-embedded into the mech. In an instant, the entire V-generation bio-mech, Abyss Light, was directly activated. Then the man controlled the mech, picked up the box, and walked behind the old man.

Su Mo was also secretly shocked. Another top expert. He activated such a V-generation bio-mech so easily.

“Let's go.”

The old man said coldly, and left with his subordinates, with his hands behind his back.

“Ah~ what a pity, just a little bit more and I could have seen what's inside.”

Looking at the backs of the old man and others leaving, Su Mo was also a little emotional.

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice, “I'm just curious, why are you so curious? I already told you that it's not something you should know.”

“Seeing it won't kill me. After all, I risked my life to get it. How can I not be curious?”

Su Mo stretched and replied.

“You had plenty of opportunities to open it and look on the way. Why didn't you peek?”

Artificial Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice.

“That's a different story. Looking at it in front of him is one thing. Peeking is another. I still have principles.”

Su Mo replied calmly.

“That's not wrong.”

Artificial Creator·Devourer praised him rarely.

“Forget it, I don't want to think about it. The mission is finally completed. But speaking of which, although the performance of that mech is a little weaker than the Empire's, it's still very easy to use. The craftsmanship of the mech is very good in all aspects.”

Su Mo commented in a good mood.

“Of course, it's easy to use. After all, it's a genuine V-generation bio-mech, not something that the inferior goods produced by Star Ring City can compare to.”

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied proudly.

“That's right.”

Su Mo nodded in response. He was a little reluctant to part with that mech, but after all, it wasn't his. And what the old man said was right, that mech was a hot potato right now. Although he didn't fear the other party, he had to consider one thing. That stone tablet was so important to the old man, and it also saved him one trillion star coins. This meant that the value of that stone tablet must be super terrifying. Maybe the Gomo Toth Empire was already going crazy.

Thinking of this, Su Mo felt more and more pressure. He had to find a way to manufacture his own mech as soon as possible.

Whether it was for self-protection or for doing something else, it was necessary.
