A few days later, Su Mo was walking alone on the street. Qian Chengxue had been busy with preparing supplies during this period.
Su Mo didn’t really understand this aspect, so he didn’t want to interfere and cause trouble for Qian Chengxue.
However, Su Mo wasn’t idle either; he had his own matters to attend to.
Although they were transporting goods via the federally maintained interstellar route, according to Qian Chengxue, there wouldn’t be too much danger.
But Su Mo was still uneasy; he never relied on hope placed in others.
He had recently done so research on interstellar routes, and still found a large number of cargo ships encountering issues, either attacked by monsters or by interstellar pirates. Worth noting is that encountering genuine interstellar pirates wasn’t too concerning.
The most feared encounters were with those disguised as the Imperial Army interstellar pirates.
This is also why there are so many counciln in parliant advocating for war against the Imperial Army.
Therefore, Su Mo needed to visit the GT departnt to apply to retrieve his IV Generation Biological cha · Glutton, so that if necessary, he could still fight.
Not long after, Su Mo arrived at the entrance of the GT departnt building in the Imperial City.
It was heavily guarded here; two III Generation chas were stationed at the entrance. From this, it was evident that the GT departnt’s status within the Federation was progressively rising, and the resources it enjoyed were increasingly getting better.
As Su Mo approached, he was stopped by the leading Guard Captain.
"Halt! Who are you?"
Su Mo took out his Identity Card and said, "My na is Su Mo, a forr mber of the GT departnt, now retired, and I’m here to handle so business."
The Guard Captain in front listened to Su Mo’s introduction and imdiately saluted him.
"Sir!"
"Ahem, there’s no need to call Sir, I’m retired now."
Su Mo smiled and said.
"Even though you’re retired, a sir is always a sir. Please wait while I verify your identity; if everything is in order, I’ll allow you to enter."
The Guard Captain in front wasn’t familiar with Su Mo, but had heard of him, so he replied very respectfully.
"Alright."
Su Mo nodded.
After a mont, the Captain walked out from inside and said to Su Mo, "Sir, please co inside. What business are you here to handle?"
"I have a personal IV Generation Biological cha · Glutton, which was damaged and being repaired at the GT departnt. I’m here to take it back."
Su Mo stated simply.
"I’ll take you to the logistics departnt then."
The Captain led Su Mo inside personally.
Before long, Su Mo was led to the door of an office.
"It’s right here."
"Thank you."
Su Mo expressed his gratitude.
At this point, a portly, greasy man inside the office was eating grapes. Seeing soone approaching, he quickly put the grapes back on the plate.
"Who is it? What’s the matter?"
The portly man asked in an official manner.
"I’m here to apply to transfer my personal cha."
Su Mo spoke up.
The portly man in front suddenly stood up and, with great surprise, asked, "You’re applying for the IV Generation Biological cha · Glutton?"
"You know? That’s great."
Su Mo was a bit surprised as well.
"How could I not know? Since the GT departnt was established, there’s been only one personal cha. It’s been noted by the authorities. Lord Su Mo, please have a seat. Even if others don’t know you, how could we not? You are a legend among the GT departnt’s upper echelon. Please sit, and let introduce myself; my na is Zheng Qiao."
Zheng Qiao hurriedly offered his chair.
"No need to be so ceremonious; it’s nothing really. I’m in a bit of a hurry, could you help expedite the transfer process for my cha?"
Su Mo was a bit uncomfortable.
"Uh, I’m afraid that’s not possible."
Zheng Qiao replied helplessly.
"Why? Lord Spade promised I could take it anyti during its service."
Su Mo was taken aback.
"It’s not that; it’s that your Glutton cha wasn’t repaired and has been scrapped."
Zheng Qiao hurriedly explained to Su Mo.
"Oh, scrapped."
Su Mo’s face turned dark. How unfortunate.
"But don’t worry, we can compensate you with a sum of money, and I can ensure it’s at the highest standard."
Zheng Qiao assured Su Mo, patting his chest.
"Alright then."
Su Mo had no other choice.
"Leave an account number, and the funds will be transferred no later than this afternoon."
Zheng Qiao promised Su Mo.
Su Mo nodded slightly, leaving a bank account number, then said.
"Thank you, I’ll be leaving first."
"Lord Su Mo, take care."
...
Not long after, Su Mo left the GT departnt. Walking on the street, he fell into deep thought.
"What do you plan to do?"
The Fake Owner · Swallower’s deep voice resonated in Su Mo’s mind.
"What can I do? Let’s go to Star Ring City and buy another one."
Su Mo replied helplessly; he still favored the Gluttonous cha, given its power.
Just then, Su Mo’s phone suddenly vibrated.
Su Mo glanced at the phone, and a ssage popped up, displaying a deposit of 30 million Star Coins to his account.
"Efficient enough."
The Fake Owner · Swallower said deeply, "Too little; that Gluttonous cha wasn’t too shabby."
"It’s not too little; a regular IV Generation Biological cha costs nowhere near that. This is considered top compensation. Now that the money has arrived, let’s head to Star Ring City."
Su Mo was quite satisfied.
"As you wish."
The Fake Owner · Swallower didn’t care at all.
Su Mo stopped walking, then quickly edited and sent a ssage to Qian Chengxue, notifying her that he was going out to handle so matters.
Soon, Su Mo received a reply from Qian Chengxue.
"Alright, take care."
Su Mo put away his phone and headed towards the interstellar airport.
...
The next day, Su Mo took a regular interstellar flight and landed again at Port No. 72.
He disembarked from the ship.
Looking at the bustling port, he mused.
"No matter how many tis I co, it always feels so busy here."
"It’s not yours, though."
The Fake Owner · Swallower replied deeply.
"If only it were mine. Enough with the pointless talk, where do you think we should go to buy a cha?"
Su Mo tried to seek advice from the Fake Owner · Swallower.
"Go to the general store; that IV Generation Biological cha · Dark Knight isn’t bad."
The Fake Owner · Swallower spoke without hesitation.
"Are you kidding ? That’s so expensive."
Su Mo frowned, replying helplessly.
"Haggle!"
The Fake Owner replied without hesitation.
"You must be joking; even if I cut it down drastically, it’s still impossible to afford. I only have 30.05 million Star Coins. You might as well ask them to give it to for free."
"He’s not your dad; how could he give you everything?"
"You know that, yet you still ask to buy it. Can I even afford it?"
Su Mo rubbed his forehead, feeling troubled.
