Chapter 1 Opportunity

Su Mo naturally noticed the strange gazes of the inmates present. Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was even more puzzled in his heart, as if they had misunderstood him even more.

To be honest, this was a good opportunity, maybe he could glean some useful information.

The problem was that he had nothing to offer in return. He couldn't just try to get something for nothing, could he?

Even though most of them were scum, that seemed to go against his principles, didn't it? Thinking of this, Su Mo became even more conflicted.

An Jie went straight to Su Mo and sat down opposite him, earnestly instructing, "Brother, this place is not like the outside world. None of those locked up here are innocent; they don't deserve to be human. But you're different. I can tell at a glance that you're extraordinary, so don't mix with these people. Later, when there's free time, ignore anyone who tries to approach you."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied very cooperatively.

Seeing Su Mo's cooperation, An Jie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy was easy to talk to and didn't cause any trouble. But when would this damned babysitting life end?

...

Earth, Federal Government Administrative Building.

The constant flow of people in and out made this place as lively as ever.

At this moment, Qian Chengxue came running from afar, hurriedly entering the building. She arrived at the information desk in the lobby.

"Hello, what kind of service do you need?"

A sweet-voiced girl in uniform asked very professionally.

"I want to see Council Speaker Arles. Please let him know."

Qian Chengxue said, slightly out of breath, having rushed back from the Gedora Planetary Fortress.

She had originally planned to go to Star Ring City, but she heard on the way back that Star Ring City had gone to war. Fortunately, Council Speaker Arles was not on Star Ring City but on Earth, so she rushed over as soon as possible.

"What is your name, please? Do you have an appointment?"

"My name is Qian Chengxue. I don't have an appointment, but I have something very important to discuss with the Council Speaker."

"I'm sorry, the Council Speaker is very busy right now. If you have anything urgent, you can register first and wait for notification."

The information desk worker said apologetically.

"No, it'll be too late. Please, let him know. I'm here about Su Mo."

Qian Chengxue pleaded.

The staff members present were slightly stunned when they heard the name Su Mo, and then said, "Did you just say Su Mo?"

"That's right."

Qian Chengxue was slightly taken aback and responded subconsciously.

"The Council Speaker has specifically instructed that anything related to Su Mo should be given priority! I'll report to Master Hai Yue right away. Please wait!"

"Okay."

...

Federal Government top-floor office.

Arles was busy correcting all kinds of documents.

Recently, it was a time of change, and there were countless complicated matters. He was very fortunate that he was not on Star Ring City, otherwise, things would be in chaos by the time he returned.

Knock, knock.

A knock sounded on the door.

Arles frowned slightly. He had already told Hai Yue not to let anyone disturb him today as he had to process a large number of documents.

However, Arles still calmly said, "Come in."

Then the door opened, and Qian Chengxue walked in, giving Arles a solemn salute.

"Council Speaker."

Arles looked up at Qian Chengxue, who had entered, and was quite surprised. Why would she come to him?

"Qian Chengxue? What do you want to see me about?"

Qian Chengxue said anxiously, "Council Speaker, please save Su Mo."

Arles was shocked to hear this, and he asked, "What happened?"

"Su Mo was arrested by the people of Star Ring City. It's like this..."

Qian Chengxue briefly told Arles about the situation.

After listening, Arles's brows were almost knotted together. He said, "This is troublesome."

"Council Speaker, I know Su Mo caused a lot of trouble, but he did it to save people. Now, you are the only one who can help him."

Qian Chengxue became more and more anxious. If the Federation was unwilling to step in, then there was really no hope.

"Don't worry, this matter is indeed very serious. Su Mo did commit a serious crime, but looking at it carefully, he wasn't completely wrong. The only troublesome thing is that Star Ring City is out on a campaign, and I don't know when they will return."

Arles analyzed calmly.

"What do we do now?"

"We'll go to the Gedora Planetary Fortress and talk to Commander Kailas directly!"

Arles said rationally.

"Thank you, Council Speaker Arles."

Hearing what Arles said, a glimmer of hope rose in Qian Chengxue's heart. If Council Speaker Arles was willing to make a trip in person, maybe things would really change for the better.

"Time is of the essence, let's go!"

Arles put down the pen in his hand directly, without even putting the cap on, and stood up straight.

"Okay!"

Qian Chengxue nodded emphatically.

...

Inside the Endless Deep Space Prison.

Su Mo had been sitting in work area 7 all day, feeling extremely bored.

He finally made it to the end of the workday.

At this moment, one CDW multi-function robot after another entered the field, beginning to collect the dissected materials from each prisoner and record their work success.

As An Jie said before, they don't support idlers here.

Several prisoners were immediately lit up with red lights by those multi-function robots because the number of dissected materials did not meet the standard.

Immediately afterward, a wave-guided ball flew in front of those prisoners, emitting a cold, mechanical voice.

"Unqualified, passive work, 24-hour confinement!"

The prisoners were escorted away in fear by the wave-guided balls.

At this time, multi-functional dining cars drove in, containing the cheapest food, a blob of green slimy stuff that looked like snot.

Depending on the work situation, different amounts of food could be received.

Su Mo felt disgusted looking at the food; it was simply unbearable to look at.

However, all the prisoners present devoured the food cleanly. They only ate two meals a day, one when they got up in the morning, and the other was now. Whether they could eat tomorrow morning, and how much they could eat, depended on their work performance from the previous day.

The eating time was less than ten minutes, and all the tableware was recycled on the spot.

Then everyone had to be rushed back to their cells.

Su Mo stretched and prepared to follow the crowd back to his cell to lie down.

Just as Su Mo was walking back, the surrounding prisoners began to be pushed aside, and a wrinkled old woman forcibly squeezed beside Su Mo, she said in a low voice.

"Young man, find a way to get me out! I have a batch of materials worth 500 billion, and I can tell you the location where they are buried."

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, she was pushed away by another person, a man with hideous scars all over his body and extremely fierce eyes, who lowered his voice to Su Mo.
