Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 441 - 441 410 Training

441: Chapter 410 Training 441: Chapter 410 Training At that moment, Lin Yue suddenly thought of something and asked,

“Lord Xiao Wen, 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?

The rank is just there to better utilize our abilities, not about who is more noble!

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

After listening, Su Mo secretly held Xiao Wen in higher regard, for there were not many who could act with such integrity these days.

“Yes, you are right, Lord Xiao Wen.”

Lin Yue agreed completely.

“Why talk about that?

Let’s go to the dormitory and drop off our luggage,”

Chen Shan didn’t mind at all.

“Alright, dismiss here and find your own rooms according to the instructions in the text message,”

Xiao Wen turned to his subordinates behind him and issued an order.

“Yes!”

The group that followed responded in unison.

Shortly after, Xiao Wen led Su Mo and the others towards a metal building.

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

He pushed open the door, the metal room contained a bed, a desk, and a small, separate bathroom.

The whole room was about fifteen square meters.

“Su Mo, this is your room from now on.

It’s limited in comfort, so please make do.”

“Not at all, it’s quite nice.”

Having glanced around the room, Su Mo was very satisfied.

It was an independent room, and while a bit narrow, the privacy was quite good.

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

Additionally, there’s something I need to inform you about.”

“Go ahead.”

“Since it was a last-minute decision to join the expedition, we haven’t prepared many living supplies for you.

If you find you haven’t brought enough, you can have Chen Shan accompany you to the Central District 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, Star Coin is used only for purchasing more valuable goods.”

Xiao Wen reminded Su Mo.

“I understand, but I’m a bit puzzled; isn’t this ship an official Federation mission?

Why is there such a large free trade zone?

From what you’re saying, it seems private trading is also allowed.”

Su Mo asked with some confusion.

“This is to promote economic prosperity and fulfill some balancing needs.

Fifty percent of those on board the ship are professional personnel like us.

The other fifty percent are not; amongst them are producers, private research personnel, scholars, and consultants.

Most importantly, there’s a large number of private exploration companies.

After paying a substantial entrance fee to the Federation Government, these private companies are permitted to board the ship and join the mining operation.

Of course, they have to pay taxes on the minerals or other resources they extract, but after taxes, the goods belong to them privately and can be traded freely.

There’s really nothing strange about it; history has proven that solely planned and dictatorial policies do nothing good for the market economy—it still needs some free capital.”

Of course, Xiao Wen didn’t tell Su Mo the most important part: many of these people belonged to reclusive financial conglomerates, each incredibly influential in their own right.

“Oh, I see,” Su Mo said, understanding.

“There’s one more thing.

You’re boarding as an advisor, so your actions will be tied to our squad.

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

However, I also know that you’re not really a military professional, so in terms of rest and attendance, I won’t be too strict with you.

When there are no important tasks, you may arrange your time freely,”

Xiao Wen explained the basics to Su Mo.

Others might not be aware of Su Mo’s capabilities, but Xiao Wen certainly was.

He truly admired Su Mo, which was why the usually strict Xiao Wen showed an uncommon level of tolerance.

“Thanks,”

Su Mo nodded.

Chen Shan clapped Su Mo on the shoulder with a smile, “What’s there to thank for?

From now on, we’ll be brothers in arms.

If you need anything or run into any troubles, just come to me.”

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

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

All those on board, please return to your rooms as soon as possible.

The Black Brilliance will take off in five hours.

Six hours from takeoff, we will initiate sub-light speed flight.

During this time, there may be severe turbulence within the ship; please be cautious for your safety.”

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

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

Please refrain from leaving your residential areas without authorization and wandering about.

If you do so, you will not only be taking risks but also be subject to respective punishment…”

…..

Lin Yue said with some surprise, “We’re taking off so soon?

I thought it would be at least 24 hours.”

“Indeed, the preparations are a bit hasty.

Let’s not talk about that right now.

Su Mo, you rest here; we need to check on how the others are settling in,”

Xiao Wen pondered before saying.

“Okay.”

Su Mo replied.

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