Chapter 1170: Chapter 878: Departure (First Update)
Su Mo thought for a mont and replied, “No worries. Even if the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. The fleet from Star Ring City has already set out. We’ll just stick to dealing with small monsters, rescuing a few people, and making a bit of pocket money.”
“If you were really that complacent, the old man wouldn’t have needed to warn you.”
The Fake Owner Swallower replied disdainfully.
“Haha, let’s not talk about that. We’re off to get that IV generation Biological cha Dark Knight.”
Su Mo replied with a chuckle.
Shortly after, Su Mo arrived at Port 73, which was packed with people, all there to collect their weapons.
Su Mo was slightly surprised but soon understood; the chanical Pillar being emptied had everything to do with everyone present.
In fact, this indirectly showed that people were earning more and more Star Coins.
The number of high-grade weapons sold from Star Ring City is limited, it’s not as if you can take as much as you want. It truly echoes the saying, relying on yourself is better than seeking aid from God. If you want to equip a large-scale army in the future, you’ll need your own production line.
Su Mo lined up honestly, waiting to retrieve the cha.
At this mont, the freelancers ahead of Su Mo in line were excitedly discussing the current public mission.
“I spent all my savings on this one.”
“That’s nothing. For this mission, I specially took out a big loan from the bank of Star Ring City. I also borrowed a lot from friends and family. Either I make a huge fortune, or I’m done for.”
“Wow, isn’t that too risky?”
“Risky, my ass. This is a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity. Usually, it’s impossible to gain anything from Star Ring City. If this goes well, my whole family can immigrate to Star Ring City. Plus, there’s a rumor that if you make a big enough contribution, you might even be able to ask Star Ring City for a habitable planet.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why are those nations acting like they’re on steroids?”
…
After hearing this, Su Mo also had a thoughtful expression.
By evening, Su Mo finally collected the cha, and he piloted it back to the Shadow.
Sun Duoxiang was like an ant in a hot pan, pacing back and forth.
Su Mo directly piloted the cha up to him, opened the cockpit, and jumped down, saying, “What’s up?”
“Boss, you’re finally back. We’re all ready and waiting for you. Wait~ Boss, is this your new cha?”
As Sun Duoxiang spoke, he suddenly noticed the cha Su Mo brought back, and his expression was utterly startled.
“Yeah, is there a problem?”
“Boss, you got an IV generation cha. Couldn’t you at least get a Fake V Generation one?”
“Enough, don’t worry about these things. Get on the ship and get ready to move out!”
Su Mo didn’t bother saying much.
“Alright.”
Sun Duoxiang quickly responded.
…
Soon after, everyone gathered in the Shadow Command Room.
“Request to set sail.”
Su Mo said to Zhang Hao.
“Got it.”
Zhang Hao imdiately sent an application to the port administrator.
No surprises, the application was quickly approved, but a notification popped up.
“Dear custor number 12133, your embarkation application has been approved. You are currently in position 1822, with an estimated wait ti of 34 hours and 11 minutes.”
“What the heck is going on?”
It was Sun Duoxiang’s first ti encountering such a situation; normally, setting sail required no wait.
“It’s normal. There are a lot of ships setting sail now. Be patient; there’s no rushing this. Forcing your way out will likely lead to collisions.”
Su Mo stood on the lookout, gazing at the distant ships taking off, and said calmly.
“But Boss, won’t we be late?”
Sun Duoxiang asked worriedly.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Normally, it takes regular ships at least one or two months to reach the Eden Star Domain. Our ship is quite fast, so we can’t really afford to miss this little bit of ti.”
Su Mo analyzed calmly.
“Boss, you really know what’s up. We have superluminal flight. Even if they leave first, they won’t get far.”
Sun Duoxiang said, beaming with smiles.
Qian Chengxue shook her head and said, “We can’t use superluminal flight. Star Ring City announced that the subspace near the Eden Star Domain is very unstable, and using superluminal flight might cause problems.”
“Right, sub-light speed flight will do. Everyone, don’t be in too much of a hurry. Arriving first might not be a good thing. Let’s just go with the flow. Also, get on the Star Ring Forum and keep an eye on this public mission’s real-ti situation. See if there’s anything worth noting.”
Su Mo cald down and replied, having originally been quite anxious, but was cooled down by the old man’s words.
“Okay.”
Everyone responded in agreent.

—————————————
In the center of Star Ring City, atop the Star-Picking Tower.
The Star Ring City Lord Icaroya gazed coldly at the departing ships, her icy eyes flickering with the passage of each vessel.
Standing by her side, Goli spoke worriedly, “According to the intelligence returned from Thunder Fortress Commander Doni, the incident in the Eden Star Domain seems unusual. The star barrier was actually destroyed by a cot with an AT field. This has never happened before; won’t our sister encounter any significant problems?”
“Only sixth-level and above creatures can destroy a star barrier in one strike, and they’re not ordinary sixth-level creatures either.”
Icaroya replied coldly.
“A sixth-level creature? Then won’t the nesting stars be in trouble? No, if it’s really a sixth-level creature, Thunder Fortress might have already fallen.”
“The opponent is hiding, but no matter; I have my arrangents. As for the nesting stars, as long as the central artificial sun and the surrounding star belt are intact, losing a few habitable stars doesn’t matter.”
Icaroya’s tone was extrely indifferent, as if discussing a trivial matter, as if no amount of death mattered more than dust falling to her.
Goli wanted to say sothing but ultimately just sighed softly, choosing not to speak further.
…
Two days later.
In the starry sky, a dense swarm of ships, resembling migrating schools of fish, sailed toward the Eden Star Domain.
The public communication channels were bustling.
“Look whose blue ship that is. It looks cool and is so fast; we’ve been overtaken.”
“Anyone can tell you have no insight. That’s a Level 4 Battleship Swordfish. Judging by the emblem on it, it’s probably from the Deepwater rcenary Group.”
“So impressive, a Level 4 ship! That’s almost on par with the regular military of so countries, right?”
“Definitely.”
…
“Look over there, a massive black ship is charging through.”
“Wow, this ship is even larger than the last one. It looks incredibly powerful.”
“Isn’t that the Federation’s Level 5 Ship Shadow?”
