"Actually, the cost of the transformation is more expensive than directly purchasing a Suitable Star. But after all, the planet beneath our feet is our Mother Star, no matter how high the cost, it’s worth it, don’t you think?"
Alles turned his head to look at Su Mo, seeking his opinion.
"That’s right, I support your decision. So things can’t be asured by value."
Su Mo replied without a trace of hesitation, thinking that Alles’ decision was wise.
"Yes, although it’s difficult, people always have dreams. What if they actually co true?"
Alles said with a hint of longing on his face, looking forward to that day.
...
Much later, Su Mo walked out of the Federation Governnt’s administrative center building.
"I find you quite smart."
The Fake Owner·Swallower’s deep voice suddenly sounded.
"How unusual, why are you suddenly praising today?"
Su Mo was a bit puzzled too.
"I originally thought you would arrogantly go to Ceres alone to search for the Pala Fruit. I didn’t expect you’d choose to act with the main force. It seems you haven’t gotten lost in power."
The Fake Owner·Swallower explained.
"Enough with the praise. That place Ceres is not suitable for solo exploration. I don’t want to be without a base to rest. I’d have to sleep with one eye open. Anyway, let take you sowhere."
Su Mo walked away with both hands in his pockets.
The Fake Owner·Swallower was a bit curious about where Su Mo was taking it, but didn’t ask.
After more than an hour, Su Mo returned to the Imperial City in a small spaceship, arriving at the outer western ring zone.
As far as the eye could see, the area was filled with one square warehouse after another.
Su Mo walked up to his warehouse, input the password, and opened the warehouse door.
Sealed boxes ca into view.
Su Mo smiled at the Fake Owner·Swallower and said, "Our last stockpile of Energy Crystals should be enough to give you a one percent charge. Although it’s not enough to fill the gap between your teeth, it can prevent you from suddenly shutting down."
The Fake Owner·Swallower didn’t waste words, floating out from Su Mo’s body.
It floated towards those boxes of Energy Crystals.
In just a few minutes, the Fake Owner·Swallower drained the energy and returned to Su Mo’s body.
"It’s not enough, far from enough! You’d better give more charge."
"Don’t rush, I’ll try to buy so Energy Crystals for you in the anti. If that doesn’t work, I’ll think of sothing once we reach Ceres. I’m sure we’ll dig up quite a bit there."
Su Mo replied feeling a bit distressed.
"You’d better not wait until we reach Ceres to think about giving a charge. Without my support, it’s impossible to fully utilize the power of a V-type Biological cha."
The Fake Owner·Swallower reminded with a deep voice.
"Alright, alright, I understand, I’ll figure sothing out, okay."
Su Mo was also getting slightly frantic.
.....
At night, Su Mo returned to the Shadow.
He lay on his bed, swiping through Star Ring City on his phone.
The entire Star Ring Forum was no longer discussing him, it seed the hype had passed.
Now the hottest posts were discussing economic upheaval.
Star Ring City had announced the latest market adjustnt policy yesterday.
Su Mo skimd through the announcents of Star Ring City.
Basically, due to the massive amount of mined resources being brought back, supply exceeded demand, so the prices of raw ore materials were adjusted downwards.
Also, due to the damage to the second Birthplace, the manufacturing supply chain was disrupted, causing the prices of various items sold in Star Ring City to soar.
Although the explanation was reasonable, he still felt it was extrely far-fetched.
Suddenly, Su Mo noticed a problem, the second Birthplace? He paused for a mont and asked the Fake Owner·Swallower.
"The announcent ntions the second Birthplace, does Star Ring City operate more than one Birthplace?"
"You’re only realizing that now? I’ve told you before that you should never underestimate Star Ring City. Also, never overly assu your importance to Star Ring City, its foundation is much deeper than you could ever imagine."
The Fake Owner·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
"Forget I ntioned it."
Su Mo continued browsing the posts, finding a pile of complaint posts inundating the forum.
All posted by material rchants.
Especially so resource-hoarding moguls from various countries; their reactions were the most intense. Because the goods they held devalued more than double in just a few days.
Of course, where so lose money, others gain. Those hoarding weapons made a fortune.
The prices of finished weapons rose universally, though the increase for low-end weapons was not significant since every country could make their own.
"Stop looking at things that don’t matter and quickly search for anyone selling Energy Crystals. Spend all the money in your hand,"
The Fake Owner·Swallower urged in a deep voice.
"Alright, I’ll search now."
Su Mo quickly got to work searching for related posts.
Over an hour later, Su Mo lay back on his bed with an ’I’ve seen a ghost’ expression, complaining.
"The price of the Energy Series has tripled, it’s more profitable than robbery. And even if the price has gone up, the key issue is that there’s none to buy; it’s all buyouts, and more frustratingly, Star Ring City is ssing around too, showing that the Energy Series supplies are sold out. Even every store in the market is sold out."
"Isn’t this normal?"
"Do you think the old man’s store has any? Otherwise, should we try buying from him?"
"What do you think? If he did, would I need to have you search on the forum?"
"Ah~ just forget I said anything."
"I think the reason there’s no supply in the market is because various nations have swept up all rchandise for the expedition. As for Star Ring City, don’t even think of buying from them; their attitude towards Energy Stones has always been only intake, no release. Only when you first arrive do they release so to you. Because as long as they control the supplies of the Energy Series, no matter how many weapons you have, you can’t make any waves."
The Fake Owner·Swallower explained very rationally.
"You’re already so clear on this, and yet you had searching on the forum, wasn’t that pointless?"
Su Mo couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
"Pointless or not, you have to search. No matter what thods you use, you must charge , even if it ans buying at exorbitant prices."
The Fake Owner·Swallower replied indisputably.
"Alright then, they buy Energy Crystals at three tis the price; I’ll offer four tis, and if that doesn’t work, five tis. I don’t believe it won’t work."
Su Mo was also ready to go all out.
Thus, Su Mo sat up and edited a post to offer the highest price on the entire forum to buy Energy Crystals.
And sure enough, the words "high price" were quite effective.
Ding dong~
Dong dong~
...
In an instant, Su Mo’s forum account started receiving private ssages one after another.
"Is the price the host ntioned real? I have so here."
...
Su Mo’s mouth couldn’t stop twitching, feeling like his heart was bleeding as the white cash was about to flow out.
But he could only bite the bullet and start replying to each seller.
