Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 430 - 430 407 Mutation_2

430: Chapter 407: Mutation_2 430: Chapter 407: Mutation_2 To the surprise of the vendor in front of him, as soon as he heard Xiao Wen’s words, his head shook like a rattle-drum.

“No, no, I’d rather sell to someone else.”

The people scrounging a living here dared to deceive newcomers because Star Ring City absolutely forbade conflict.

As long as the deception didn’t occur during an in-person transaction, it was useless to seek remedy afterward.

But if someone were to leave Star Ring City with a newcomer, they would become a fish on the chopping board.

By then, not only would they fail to receive their money, but they would also be met with harsh torture.

Unless absolutely necessary, nobody wished to leave Star Ring City.

Seeing the reluctance of the other party, Xiao Wen didn’t press further.

Those unwilling to leave with them would provide false information 99 out of 100 times.

Even if there was a one percent chance the information was true, who could afford to take that gamble?

So, Su Mo and his companions continued to wander forward, where there were plenty of stalls.

At this point, Su Mo saw a stall selling a large number of books, marked strikingly cheap at ten books for one Star Coin.

Of course, from the printing materials of the books, one could tell they were pirated prints, and next to the books, data disks were also for sale.

The stall was operated by a silver-haired woman wearing a very distinctive blue dress, her delicate and pretty face fraught with melancholy.

Su Mo squatted down and began browsing, each book looking quite interesting.

Chen Shan spoke up, “Brother, are you interested in this?”

“Yeah, lend me some Star Coins, I want to buy a few.”

“You talk as if these could cost much.

Just pick whatever you like.”

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Su Mo picked out some books and then grabbed a few data disks before asking,

“How much?”

The young girl in front of him extended her hand, her voice sweet as a nightingale’s song.

“Five Star Coins.”

Listening to the young girl speak was like a treat; her tone was very special.

After Chen Shan paid the money with his card, he muttered softly,

“This girl, could she have been a star before?

She has such an unusual voice.”

Xiao Wen warned Chen Shan, “Don’t speculate about others’ pasts.”

“Oh.”

Chen Shan immediately realized that surviving in Star Ring City after the collapse of civilization, almost none were innocents.

Most had memories they wouldn’t want to revisit.

Provoking someone with careless words would be trouble.

“Let’s check out a few more stalls; we should head back soon.”

Xiao Wen checked his phone and then spoke up.

At that moment, Su Mo suddenly uttered a puzzled sound: “What’s this?”

Xiao Wen and Chen Shan turned their heads toward Su Mo, seeing him squatting down, picking up a mecha model, and inspecting it from all sides.

“This thing looks a lot like a Second Generation Mecha Black Steel, even though there are some differences in appearance.”

“It’s a Second Generation Mecha Black Steel, even an enhanced version.

How much for this mecha?”

Xiao Wen immediately became interested.

His Legion had only been allocated First Generation Mechas up to now.

It wasn’t that the Federation couldn’t afford them, but their numbers for purchase were incredibly scarce.

More focus was placed on buying production lines and technology, aiming for sustainable development.

“Twenty thousand Star Coins.”

The beautiful stall owner looked up with her melancholic gaze to reply.

At that figure, Xiao Wen felt troubled; the price was far beyond what he could afford.

He had brought a total of only fifteen thousand Star Coins with him to Star Ring City, and most of that had already been spent on various purchases.

Though he liked it, the price was still too steep.

“Hey, isn’t that Xiao Wen?”

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out.

Su Mo and his two companions turned their heads and saw Mo Baoke coming over with a group of subordinates.

He was dressed in a Federation uniform and wearing the rank of Colonel, the same level as Xiao Wen.

“Mo Baoke?

Something you need?”

Xiao Wen’s voice was very cold.

In past times in the Star Ring World, their two Legions had had many conflicts.

Of course, that was all in the past now, but Xiao Wen had no positive feelings toward this man—his personality and ostentatious style were what Xiao Wen disliked the most.

“Don’t be so cold, man.

After all, we’re comrades now, bound to run into each other.

You looking to buy something?”

“That seems to be none of your business, right?”

Su Mo wasn’t particularly interested in Mo Baoke either.

This guy suddenly showing up probably meant no good.

Mo Baoke turned to look at Su Mo, finding him more and more familiar, and suddenly remembered—wasn’t this the guy who caused him a great deal of trouble?

The one who took his mecha, causing him to lose a huge amount of gold points.

To call him a nemesis wouldn’t be too far.

Anger instantly surged within him—indeed, enemies often cross each other’s paths.

“It’s you, Su Mo!”

“What do you want?”

Chen Shan immediately stepped in front of Su Mo.

Realizing the situation, Mo Baoke quickly regained his composure.

He remembered that things were different now; they all belonged to the Federation.

Plus, Long Ming was now the Federation Council Chairman, so he laughed and said, “What would I want?

It’s just that it’s my first time seeing Su Mo in person; got a bit too excited.”

“Better be just that, don’t have any crooked ideas,” Chen Shan warned.

“Look at you—I’m in awe, isn’t that enough?

Anyway, what were you guys looking at?

Oh, nice choice—I see a top-quality Second Generation Mecha,” Mo Baoke cheerfully replied, his gaze shifting to the mecha model, recognizing it at a glance.

“That’s none of your business,” Chen Shan responded dismissively.

Mo Baoke didn’t mind.

He turned to the stall owner, his eyes lighting up at the sight of such a pretty girl, and asked,

“Miss, how much for this mecha?”

“Twenty thousand Star Coins.”

“Twenty thousand Star Coins isn’t much; Brother Xiao Wen, you should hurry up and buy it.”
