Shadows of the Deep Space

Su Ming said with a dark face.

Back then, they only asked Rain Capital for 20 trillion in resources, and City Lord Alicia nearly flipped out on them.

“No choice, I need to procurement some odds and ends, definitely going to spend a bit of money.”

Celeste said with a cheeky smile.

“Do you call this a little money? Throw this sum into the Council, and they’ll be in uproar!”

Su Ming said with a dark face.

“It’s really cheap. You’re repairing an Ancient Legendary Level Star Destroyer and so many Advanced Mechas! Once these weapons are fully repaired, you can arm a small elite legion. I guarantee this legion will be stronger than a regular one, capable of beating them senseless.”

Celeste started painting a rosy picture for Su Ming.

“What nonsense, whose legion has dozens of V Generation Mechas? Normally, only the Legion Commanders use V Generation Mechas, and those ranked lower, like the Deputy Corps Commanders, sometimes still use Fake V Generations.”

Su Ming retorted angrily.

“Glad you know.”

Celeste replied happily.

Su Ming took a deep breath, calming down, then said to Celeste.

“Do you have any extra materials?”

“Yes.”

“Can you cash them in?”

“I advise you to drop that idea, the troops from the Three Forbidden Zones retreated, bringing back uncountable minerals, and now material prices have plummeted. Selling these materials would be a huge loss!”

Celeste said to Su Ming.

“What about the prices of things like Energy Crystals?”

“They’ve gone up.”

“Shouldn’t everything collapse together? Weren’t a lot of Energy Crystals brought back during the retreat?”

Su Ming said with a dark face.

“The issue is, the Federation is currently in major production mode, and demand for energy is huge.”

Celeste said to Su Ming.

“Then where am I supposed to get them for you?”

Su Ming looked at the energy material list, feeling quite headache.

“Why not ask the Federation?”

Celeste suggested eagerly.

“No need to think about it, the Federation definitely won’t give them, they don’t even have enough for themselves. Plus for such a large sum of resources, even Dragon White President needs to seek others’ opinions.”

Su Ming shook his head, not wanting to add more pressure to Dragon White.

“Then what should we do?”

Celeste’s virtual image tilted her head, asking Su Ming.

“You don’t need to worry about it, just focus on repairs, I’ll find a way.”

Su Ming sighed and replied.

“Great! I’ll get busy then!”

Celeste floated away immediately.

Su Ming sighed slightly, turning towards Thunder Extreme.

…

Inside Thunder Extreme Central Control Room.

Su Ming sat in the command seat, projected Celeste’s list.

Looking at the list, his expression kept changing, pondering what to do.

Grey Angel and these mechanical weapons must be repaired at all costs by Su Ming. The situation is clear now; he needs to quickly arm a formidable legion.

As for the items on the list, it’s not impossible to obtain them, as long as he contacts the Shenji Family that specializes in energy.

But the issue is, Su Ming doesn’t have money, and although the Shenji Family would give him face, they wouldn’t give so many items for free.

Su Ming raised his hand, constantly rubbing his temples, pondering how to make a deal with the Shenji Family.

Rhein and others standing by, exchanged glances but didn’t dare speak up, seeing the numbers on the list as though they had seen a ghost.

Suddenly, Su Ming’s mind sparked, his lips slightly curled into a smile.

He thought of a solution; buying with money was certainly impossible, and Celeste was asking for more money, the only way was to trade V-type Gene Potion with the Shenji Family.

At their level, there’s very little that could move them, but gene potion is something they’re incredibly eager for since it represents life.

In this world, everything is precious if scarce, like the value of minerals plummets when they flood the market.

Even the priceless VI Generation Mecha, if it someday floods the market, its value would plummet.

The Federation’s new V-type Gene Potion is currently not sold externally, reaching its peak scarcity.

Su Ming pondered this, turned his head, and spoke to Timi.

“Timi, use encrypted communications, send a request to Dr. Blakes at Xi Guang Laboratory!”

“Yes!”

Timi immediately took action.

A few minutes later, the communication was successfully established, Dr. Blakes’ virtual image appeared before Su Ming.

“Hello, Lord Blakes!”

Su Ming greeted politely.

“Why have you contacted me?”

Dr. Blakes asked Su Ming coldly.

“Well….”

Su Ming hesitated, unsure how to begin.

“Speak straight, my time is limited.”

Dr. Blakes replied coldly.

“It’s like this, I need a batch of V-type Gene Potion, can you help produce some?”

Su Ming said with a smile to Dr. Blakes.

“No problem, but the gene potions produced can only be for personal use, can’t be sent outside the Federation.”

Dr. Blakes reminded Su Ming.

“That’s not a problem.”

Su Ming nodded, Tai Falu and others joined the Federation too, their identity certainly isn’t a problem, worst-case they witness them being injected.

“But there are no raw materials left.”

Dr. Blakes directly poured cold water over him.

“Ah!”

Su Ming’s heart felt like a roller coaster, suddenly plunging into despair.

“You need to obtain some Star Spirit’s blood.”

“That’s easy to arrange, but just the Star Spirit’s blood alone is useless, where am I supposed to find that particular plant?”
