Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 437 - 437 409 Test

437: Chapter 409 Test 437: Chapter 409 Test At that moment, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Lord Xiao Wen, but aren’t you and Lord Chen Shan part of the Intermediate Officer System?

Don’t you live in the Upper City District?”

Xiao Wen shook his head and replied, “Most of our people live in the Lower City District, how could we possibly live in the Upper City District ourselves.

The rank is just for better leveraging our own abilities, it doesn’t mean someone is more noble!

Besides, it’s more convenient for us to go on missions and to the training and combat zones from the Lower City District.”

After listening, Su Mo secretly held more admiration for Xiao Wen; there were not many people who could do this nowadays.

“Yes, Lord Xiao Wen, you are right,”

Lin Yue replied, fully in agreement.

“Why talk about those things, let’s go to the dormitory and put down our luggage,”

Chen Shan was indifferent.

“Alright, we disband here.

Everyone, please find your own rooms according to the instructions in the text message,”

Xiao Wen turned his head and commanded his subordinates.

“Yes!”

The followers who came along responded in unison.

After that, Xiao Wen led Su Mo and a few others toward a metallic building.

Soon, Xiao Wen brought Su Mo to a very small single room.

He pushed open the door, and inside the metal room, there was a bed, a desk, and a very small private bathroom; the entire room was about fifteen square meters.

“Su Mo, this will be your room from now on.

The conditions are limited, so please make do,”

“It’s fine, quite good actually,”

Su Mo took a quick look around and was very satisfied.

At least it was a private room; though a bit narrow, it had decent privacy.

Xiao Wen then said to Su Mo, “As long as you are satisfied.

Also, there’s something I need to tell you.”

“Go ahead,”

“Since you’ve decided to join the expedition at the last minute, we didn’t prepare many living supplies for you.

If what you brought is not enough, you can have Chen Shan accompany you to the Central District’s market to buy some things.

There are two types of currency used here: one is Federation Coin, and the other is Star Coin.

Of course, Federation Coin is enough for general items, and Star Coin is only used for purchasing more expensive goods,”

Xiao Wen reminded Su Mo.

“I understand, but I’m a bit puzzled.

Isn’t this ship an official Federation expedition?

Why set up such a large free trade zone?

From what you’re saying, it seems like private selling and buying are even allowed,”

Su Mo asked with some confusion.

“This is for the purpose of promoting economic prosperity and for some balancing needs.

Fifty percent of the people on board this ship are professionals like us.

The other fifty percent are not; among them are producers, private research personnel, scholars, hired experts, and most importantly, a large number of private exploration companies.

These private exploration companies, after paying high ticket fees to the Federation Government, are allowed to embark and follow for mining.

Of course, they need to pay taxes on the minerals or other resources they mine out.

But after paying taxes, the goods belong to them personally, and naturally, they can sell them freely.

Actually, there’s nothing strange about it; history has already proved that pure planning and dictatorship policies are not good for the market economy.

Some freedom of capital is needed,”

Of course, Xiao Wen did not tell Su Mo the most important point: that many of these individuals were actually reclusive magnates with influential power behind the scenes.

“Oh, I see,”

“Another thing, you’re boarding as a consultant, so your upcoming actions will be tied to our squad.

Your salary will be 20,000 Federation Coins per month.

However, I’m also aware that you’re not a professional soldier, so I won’t be too harsh on you in terms of routines and attendance.

When there are no important missions, you are free to arrange your own time,”

Xiao Wen briefly explained the situation to Su Mo, who was not well-known to others, but Xiao Wen was very aware of Su Mo’s capabilities.

He genuinely admired Su Mo, so the usually strict him was unusually lenient with someone.

“Thanks,”

Su Mo nodded in response.

Chen Shan gave Su Mo’s shoulder a pat and said with a smile, “What’s there to thank?

From now on, we will be brothers fighting side by side.

If you have any needs or troubles, just come to me,”

Just then, the broadcast sounded, and a steady voice spoke.

“Dear passengers, this is Li Ruiqi, the captain of the Black Brilliance.

Please all those who have boarded return to your rooms as soon as possible; the Black Brilliance will officially take off in five hours.

Thereafter, we will initiate sub-light speed flight six hours later.

During this time, there may be severe turbulence inside the ship, so please be cautious.

Additionally, a friendly reminder: during sub-light speed flight, in order to save energy, the gravity system will be partially operational, only covering the living and control areas.

Other areas will be in a state of weightlessness, and some areas of the ship will not be covered by life support systems.

Please do not leave your living areas to wander around or enter restricted areas.

If you do so, you will not only have to bear the associated risks but also face the relevant punishments…”

…..

Lin Yue said with some surprise, “It’s taking off so soon?

I thought it wouldn’t be for at least 24 hours,”

“It is indeed a bit hasty, but let’s not dwell on that.

Su Mo, you rest here for now.

We need to go check on how others are settling in,”

Xiao Wen pondered and said.

“Okay,”

Su Mo responded.

Afterwards, Xiao Wen and the others left, leaving Su Mo sitting alone in the room.
