"Brothers, do you want stone slabs? I have good stuff here. The stone slabs on the left are only 1,000 Star Coins each, and the ones on the right are a bit more expensive at 5,000 Star Coins. If you want a large quantity, I can give you a discount."

The stall owner said with a smile.

"No, thank you."

Su Mo glanced at them and lost interest, continuing to walk forward.

He strolled around for a bit before stopping in a slightly secluded corner.

In the corner, he saw people lying around half-dead, faces sallow, eyes hollow.

The ground was littered with garbage.

Flies buzzed around, and wild dogs were fighting over scraps, tearing at each other.

Su Mo stood there for a moment, then communicated with the Creator Devourer.

"It's not going to work searching like this. There are too many people here, and it's too chaotic. Also, I took a look around, and I hardly saw any patrolling guards, which means it's highly unregulated here. It'll take a long time to find Gress using conventional methods, and time is what I lack the most right now, so I need you to find him."

"I understand."

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

Then, it began to scan the entire black market, and it only took a few minutes.

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice, "Found him."

In an instant, an image appeared in Su Mo's mind, and the image was of Gress.

Three Tuns Restaurant.

Gress had ordered a table full of delicacies. He picked up a piece of tender, juicy fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Then, he picked up his wine glass and took a satisfying sip.

With a look of enjoyment, he sighed with satisfaction, "That naive kid actually wants to order me around. He's way too green. Haha!"

"Oh, really?"

Just then, Su Mo sat directly across from Gress and asked calmly.

Gress raised his head and saw Su Mo. His entire body tensed up, like a startled beast, reacting instinctively.

He was shocked. How could the other party have found him?

Normally, even if the other party could follow him, this black market was so big and crowded that finding him would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

However, he quickly recovered and forced a smile.

"What a coincidence, sir."

"Not a coincidence. You stood me up. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm racing against time right now, and every second is precious, so I'm very angry."

Su Mo solemnly warned Gress. He was indeed very angry right now. If he didn't need the other party's help, he wouldn't be so polite.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I just forgot for a moment."

Gress's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile.

"Don't give me that crap. I don't have time to waste with you. How much money do you want to work for me?"

Su Mo stared straight at Gress.

Gress felt a strange pressure at this moment, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

At this moment, a young man with delicate features, dressed in rags, approached Su Mo's table and said in a low voice.

"Gentlemen, I have confidential information about the Para Fruit. Would you like it? The price is very cheap."

Su Mo raised his hand and waved, signaling for the other party to leave quickly.

These intelligence peddlers are too fake. There are already five people peddling in this restaurant.

With Su Mo's hearing, he could easily hear the conversations of the other four peddlers.

"Sir, I have information about an ancient ruin. It's genuine and reliable. It's said that there's a super Star Destroyer inside."

"Brother, do you want to know the whereabouts of the Negative God Fragments? I know where some have been lost."

...

Su Mo didn't know how many times he had heard this kind of talk in prison. It was even more sophisticated there, so he was basically immune to it.

The young man saw that his sales were unsuccessful, hesitated, and finally gave up.

At this time, Gress called out, "I'm interested. Sir, I'd like to discuss something with this little brother."

As a result, Su Mo reached out and grabbed his wrist, saying calmly.

"You're not interested."

The young man selling information saw this and quickly slipped away.

Gress looked annoyed and said to Su Mo, "Sir, why are you doing this? This is a rare opportunity for me to make a fortune."

"If you obediently help me with my mission, you can naturally make a fortune. And you don't need to struggle. I have a transfer order signed by your legion commander, so you should cooperate with me in every way."

Su Mo didn't buy Gress's act at all.

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Gress said, "Sir, I'm really sorry. I'd also like to help you, but I have other official duties right now and can't obey your transfer."

"I don't believe you."

Su Mo replied coldly.

Gress directly showed his electronic wristband, which displayed a long-term mission.

The mission was to arrest a wanted criminal in Black Voguli.

"See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Su Mo's patience reached its limit. He didn't have time to waste with the other party, so he said directly to Gress, "I don't care about that. You have to come with me today."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so firm, Gress stopped pretending and sneered.

"Do you think I'm easily scared? You think I'll go with you just because you said so? I'm not going to work for you. What can you do about it? Feel free to complain! Don't think you're so great just because you're a colonel. To tell you the truth, I was already a colonel when you were still breastfeeding."

"So, you're determined not to cooperate."

Su Mo frowned. This guy was really difficult.

But it was normal. This guy had been demoted from a colonel to a lieutenant, so he was basically like a rascal who wasn't afraid of anything.

"Think what you want. Excuse me, sir."

Gress got up and left directly.

The Creator Devourer said to Su Mo in a low voice, "Ran into a wall, didn't you?"

"I did run into a wall. The situation is a bit troublesome now. The key is that I can't use force. I have to get him to help willingly. Otherwise, if he messes things up, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Su Mo replied in a deep voice.

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"Can you help me disguise myself?"

Su Mo asked tentatively.

"You've come to the right person for that. My abilities were limited before, but now it's a piece of cake!"

As soon as the Creator Devourer finished speaking, Su Mo's skin began to squirm.

He subconsciously picked up his phone and looked in the mirror, only to find that his appearance had changed dramatically, and even the style of his clothes was different.

"Not bad, you have this ability too."

Su Mo praised him.

"It's nothing. What are you going to do next?"

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

"What else can I do? Follow him like a plague. Wherever he goes, we go. This guy likes to gamble, so we'll gamble with him and screw him over."

Su Mo said in a low voice, and then he followed.

At this time, Gress, who had left, wandered around the streets, making sure that Su Mo wasn't following him, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn, I finally shook off that smug guy."
