"That's true. We'll slowly get them later when we have money. Let's go back; there's nothing else to see."

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue nodded.

Soon after, Su Mo and the others took the elevator down to the first floor. They saw groups of business tycoons surrounding several people in high-ranking federal official uniforms.

Everyone had beaming smiles.

"Who are those guys, so popular?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"They seem to be high-ranking officials from the logistics department. I've seen a few of them before when I went to do things with my master."

Qian Chengxue explained.

"Oh, quite popular."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

Qian Chengxue smiled and said to Su Mo, "What's wrong? Are you regretting your retirement? If you hadn't retired, I reckon you'd be more famous than them."

"Not at all. I'm willing."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"Well, you know how to talk. I'll give you extra food at noon as a small welcome. Once all the bidding is over, we'll give you a proper welcome."

Qian Chengxue said in a good mood. Although the bidding results weren't out yet, she was very confident.

"Okay."

Su Mo replied happily.

--------------------------------------

Federal Earth.

Inside a simple office in the Federal Administrative Council Building.

Long Ming was busy approving confidential documents.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Tang Qin walked in, handing Long Ming a document.

"Council Speaker, this is the latest feedback from the front lines."

Long Ming took it and carefully read it, his brow furrowing even more.

Seeing Long Ming repeatedly looking at the intelligence, Tang Qin hesitated and asked, "Council Speaker, is there a problem on the front lines?"

"The Watcher Base we established on the Gu Shen Star is constantly being attacked by monsters and various forces. Many people are dying every day."

Long Ming replied in a deep voice.

Tang Qin hesitated and said, "Council Speaker Long Ming, ever since we established the expedition base on Gu Shen Star, casualties have been constant. And it's getting more serious each time. Was our strategic decision correct in the first place?"

"The cost and the reward are equal. It is because we established an expedition base on Gu Shen Star that we have a continuous supply of resources, and that's how we have today's glory."

Long Ming said with a solemn expression.

Years ago, Star Ring City released an epic mission to advance into the Negative God Star.

The so-called Negative God Star is, to put it bluntly, a terrifying giant source star located in the center of the Negative God Universe, with a volume hundreds of millions of times larger than a star.

It is the largest planet ever discovered in the universe.

Even a Star Destroyer is like a speck of dust in front of it.

And there are four huge satellite stars around the Negative God Planet.

They are Gu Shen Star, Hai Shen Star, Zero Land, and Bao Shen Star.

These four planets are occupied by countless monsters infected with negative energy and also contain unimaginable terrifying resources.

After the Federation accepted the epic mission released by Star Ring City, they advanced towards Gu Shen Star.

After paying a heavy price, they finally established the first Watcher Base on Gu Shen Star, thereby obtaining massive resources.

However, the crisis they had to face was not just the monsters on Gu Shen Star.

They needed to face the challenge of the Imperial Army, the attacks of the Eternal Slumber Clan, and the attacks of the Fallen God Church composed of those infected with the negative energy virus.

All these people were fighting with them for Gu Shen Star.

As for Bao Shen Star, it is said that the Demon Eye Civilization and the Eternal Clan were fighting for it.

Hai Shen Star was being contested by the Terra Clan and the Hermit Clan, as for the last Zero Land, it was unknown who occupied it.

In a sense, the Federation, the Allied countries, and the Imperial Army were all representatives of Star Ring City.

But Star Ring City did not directly participate in the war.

Long Ming had also thought about this matter. He had thought that Star Ring City might be eyeing the central Negative God Star. However, that giant source star was extremely terrifying, and no one had dared to approach it rashly so far.

"Council Speaker?"

Tang Qin called out softly when she saw Long Ming seemed to be lost in thought.

Long Ming came back to his senses and sighed.

"Spade is having a very difficult time with logistics right now. He urgently needs supplies, the more the better. You need to supervise this matter."

"The results of the procurement bidding will be out in the next few days. If there are no accidents, we should be able to proceed with the replenishment as planned."

Tang Qin quickly replied.

"I know this, but this is not the point."

Long Ming said hoarsely.

"Then what's the matter?"

Tang Qin asked hesitantly.

"Now the Imperial Army is competing with us for resources, and in recent years, several top combatants have been born in the Imperial Army, wreaking havoc on the battlefield piloting pseudo-V generation mechas. Although we have Wang Hai, Hughes, and the newly promoted Brand who can pilot pseudo-V generation mechas, the situation is still not ideal. It's not as effective as the pseudo-V generation bio-mecha · You Ji (Abyssal Abnormality). The problem is that no one can pilot the pseudo-V generation bio-mecha · You Ji right now. Although the pseudo-V generation bio-mecha · You Ji has been completely repaired, it can only be placed on the front line to gather dust. Spade has been asking about Su Mo's situation, to see if he can be transferred to the front line."

Long Ming took a deep breath and said.

"But Su Mo has already left, and even if Su Mo hadn't left, given his physical condition, he wouldn't be able to pilot the You Ji mecha anymore."

Tang Qin said in astonishment.

"Of course I know."

Long Ming stood up and walked back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.

"Then what do we do now?"

Tang Qin hesitated and asked.

"We can only hope that Wang Hai and the others will break through to the next level, or that more excellent newcomers will be born below."

Long Ming replied in a deep voice.

"It seems that we can only do this."

.....

The next day, Star Ring City.

Su Mo and the others arrived at the Federal Building early.

All bidding announcements were on the first floor.

Therefore, the first floor was even more lively today, and everyone looked very excited.

"The first batch of announcements will be released soon. I bid on eighteen sections. As long as I win one, I'll be rich."

"What's that? I bid on over twenty in one go."

"Awesome!"

.....

"Has it started yet?"

Sun Li kept standing on tiptoes, looking at the holographic display screen in front.

"It's not time yet, but it's almost here."

Tang Yao said, looking at the time.

"I'm so nervous."

Sun Li said excitedly.

"Stay calm, believe in yourself, we'll definitely be fine."

Qian Chengxue said calmly.

"Yes, that's right!"

Su Mo was full of confidence in Qian Chengxue.

"Don't be so sure, or it won't look good if you get slapped in the face when the results come out later."

At this moment, an ear-piercing voice suddenly rang out.

Su Mo and the others turned their heads to look, and the person who came to mock them was none other than Wu Xiaoli!

She looked arrogant, completely disregarding Qian Chengxue and the others.
