Chapter 835: Chapter 639: Profits (First Update)
A month later, the outer edge of the Red Ridge Insect Queen Nest on planet C185.
“Move faster!”
Chen Shan shouted to his subordinates who were transporting goods.
One Iron Guard cha after another was lifting boxes of packed resources onto the transport ship.
If you looked at the Red Cicada Insect Queen’s nest now, you’d find the entire nest had been dug out. This area was completely hollowed out, revealing a massive sky pit.
Su Mo piloted the Slaughter Blade, gazing at the deep pit left behind from their operation, filled with a sense of accomplishnt.
Everyone worked non-stop for a month, alternating shifts around the clock without a mont’s break.
At this mont, Xiao Wen piloted the Black Steel cha over to Su Mo and reported, “In a few more hours, the last batch of output will be loaded. By then, we can return ho. We’ve explored other areas too, and there’s not much value left.”
“Thank you for your hard work this ti.”
Su Mo replied gratefully.
“We’re all brothers, no need to be polite. Besides, we have nothing else to do anyway, but once we get back, there will be a lot to handle. We’ll need to conduct preliminary slting and processing on what we’ve extracted, making it easier to sell when we return.”
Xiao Wen replied casually.
“I trust your work; you decide what’s best.”
Su Mo said casually.
As Xiao Wen and Su Mo chatted, Sun Duoxiang trotted over, excitedly asking, “Boss, we’re all wrapped up on our side. When are we heading back?”
With the work done, he was eager to return and await the earnings distribution.
Sun Duoxiang had been involved in all the operations and knew better than anyone how much money was made from this operation.
“What’s the rush? We’ll return soon. Let ask you, have the other extraction teams finished their work?”
Su Mo replied with a smile.
“No way, we’re probably the fastest. Most of our resources were already there to be extracted. It was only digging up those Interference Stones that cost us a lot of ti. The other teams are still digging, and if they’re unlucky and hit a low-grade, scattered mineral site, they might not finish even in a year or two. They might have to station themselves long-term, and costs would skyrocket.”
Sun Duoxiang said with a bit of schadenfreude.
“Sun Duoxiang, you seem a little gleeful there.”
Su Mo replied with a smile.
“No, not at all. I just think, boss, you’re amazing for choosing pre-existing resources.”
Sun Duoxiang quickly explained.
“It’s done, Su Mo. We can go now.”
At this mont, Chen Shan’s deep voice rang out from the communication channel.
“Let’s go!”
Su Mo didn’t waste any words.
….
In the dead of night, Su Mo and the others returned on the Black Brilliance.
After unloading the materials in the designated area, everyone proceeded to the dical room for a full-body checkup, then entered isolation for observation.
Inside the isolation room, Su Mo wasn’t idle. He took out a pen and paper, looking at the statistics sheet Xiao Wen sent him on his phone, calculating the overall earnings from this operation.
Xiao Wen also attached a list of the latest transaction prices for ores publicly listed on the Star Ring Forum.
Ti slowly passed by.
As dawn’s light broke, Su Mo stretched, having nearly finished his calculations.
The earnings were divided mainly into several parts.
The first source of inco: Level 3 Energy Crystal raw ore, totaling 1,321 pieces, of varying sizes and qualities.
The second source of inco: collected chanical debris. After purification and processing, this can yield a large amount of Level 3 finished alloy ingots, which can be directly used to build third-generation chas, which are quite valuable. There’s also a small number of Level 4 alloy ingots, though not many, or they would be even more valuable.
The third source of inco: miscellaneous items, which are the hardest to handle. Direct sales value is low, but there could be surprises, requiring expert handling.
The fourth source of inco: raw Interference Stones.
The fifth source of inco: Red Cicada Insect Eggs and monster bones, which have certain value and can be directly sold to the people of the Yanas Kingdom.
The sixth source of inco: Eternal tal.
Su Mo calculated like this: the Energy Crystals can’t be moved for now and are not included in the earnings; Eternal tal is also not included in the earnings. The remaining items combined are conservatively estimated to yield about 3.8 billion Star Coins, and if handled well, the price could be even higher.
Of course, Su Mo’s actual earnings are more than that.
Take Eternal tal, for instance. It’s a super-advanced material that no one currently uses except in Star Ring City. They officially recycle it at a price of 1 billion Star Coins per 10KG, but according to the Fake Owner·Swallower, this is how Star Ring City exploits everyone, and the true price of this material should be at least ten tis that.
Also, regarding that batch of Energy Crystals, they are hard currency and could be used as a ans of exchange, like Star Coins. Based on the current market estimate, they should be worth at least 2 billion Star Coins, and they are unlikely to depreciate.
Of course, Su Mo doesn’t plan to sell the Eternal tal or Energy Crystals. He wants to keep these as the foundational treasures of his private warehouse.
So, what’s really to be processed is the items worth 3.8 billion Star Coins.
“Finally done calculating, what a relief, the yields this ti are quite good.”
Su Mo said happily while stretching.
This prompted the Fake Owner·Swallower to say, “You just got a taste; the real profiteer is the Federation. Two and a half planets are enough for them to make a huge fortune, potentially much more than yours. Of course, that assus they have the skill to stay here, as extracting the entire planet’s resources cos with a demanding cost and effort.”
“Why be so greedy? It’s enough to be full. We’ll find other ways to earn more with this money later.”
Su Mo thought very openly. If he really had to stay in this desolate place for decades, he’d rather not do it at all, as it would drive him insane.
The Fake Owner·Swallower fell silent, saying no more.
A few days later, after the quarantine was lifted, the first thing Su Mo did was call Xiao Wen, Sun Duoxiang, Mo Baoke, and the others to a secluded restaurant’s private room.
Sun Duoxiang also brought along a few bottles of good wine.
“Boss, since you’re hosting, we’re not leaving until we’re drunk tonight.”
“Shut up, you never say anything nice, but honestly, thanks for your hard work during this period.”
Su Mo replied with a joking scold.
“It wasn’t hard at all; it’s an honor to work for Commander Su Mo.”
Mo Baoke replied, grinning.
“Enough with the formalities, let’s just drink and be done with it.”
Chen Shan laughed heartily.
“We’ll surely drink, but before we get too tipsy, there’s sothing I need to explain to you first.”
Su Mo replied with a smile.
“What is it?”
Sun Duoxiang and the others perked up imdiately.
