Star Ring City will slowly squeeze you dry without you even noticing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Owner·Swallower directly retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True, the costs here are so high, no matter how wealthy you are, it’s hard to keep spending like this. Let’s not talk about that, where’s the best place to buy a level 5 starship?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo pulled his thoughts back and earnestly asked for the opinion of the Fake Owner·Swallower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you even need to ask? With your kind of budget, you should go to the miscellaneous shop and find that old man to buy it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Owner·Swallower said without even thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Su Mo did not argue. Although there was a suspicion of being ripped off last time he purchased the bio armor set, once he started using it, he realized its true value—worth every penny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Su Mo didn’t hesitate at all and headed towards the miscellaneous shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Su Mo arrived again at the entrance of the inconspicuous shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the shop was deserted, not a single soul in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo strode in, seeing that the shop’s layout was the same as ever, with not a single change. The old man with shriveled skin and disheveled gray hair remained bent over the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, he didn’t look up to glance at Su Mo who had entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo pretended to casually browse around the shop; there were still so many good things here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost drooled looking at the items, wondering just how rich this old man could be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was then that his gaze was drawn to a model of a Star Destroyer on display—a sleek, all-black vessel with a streamlined appearance and a bud-like bow, covered entirely with launch ports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s eyes grew more fervent as he carefully read the parameters set above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Destroyer·Phantom Flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The full length of the ship is 170 kilometers, with an ink-black hull and a blossom-shaped bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Cannon: Meteor Cannon·Light of Excretion\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondary Cannon: Dark Particle Beam Cannon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interception Guard: 30,000 turrets\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missile Launch Ports: 1-100 million\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Power: Heart of the Ark*1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shield: Dark Energy Shield\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 million launch ports, Su Mo even wondered if he was seeing things. How much would a single volley cost at this rate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Su Mo saw the price, he had no doubt there wasn’t a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“5 trillion Star Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price is practically robbery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No point in looking, you can’t afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Owner·Swallower reminded him in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily. It’s good to have dreams; maybe they’ll give us a discount.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo responded nonchalantly to the Fake Owner·Swallower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, they’ll knock you until you break bones, and you still couldn’t afford it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Owner·Swallower replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You never know until you try. Maybe they’ll sell it for 100 billion. Just give it a shot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I advise you against it. This kind of joke isn’t acceptable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re wrong here; didn’t you teach me to try everything? It’s just a try. It won’t cost me anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo replied with a cheerful grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I told you to try, but not to try joking around. Who would sell something for 100 billion when it’s worth 5 trillion? It’s not like they’re your dad, and even if he was your dad, there’s no guarantee he’d sell it to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fake Owner·Swallower was nearly exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine, I’ll just try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo seemed determined as he strode over to the counter, clearing his throat loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man slowly lifted his head, his eyes lifeless, staring at Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Su Mo felt goosebumps, but the discomfort quickly faded as he took a deep breath, deciding to go for it and directly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Phantom Flower vessel looks pretty nice, I quite like it. Could you give me a discount, and let me have it for 100 billion Star Coins?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usually expressionless old man had a rare twitch on his deathly face upon hearing Su Mo’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His murky eyes looked at him as if he were an idiot, and then he opened his mouth to vent a sharp, cold voice: “Not for sale!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo hurriedly replied with a smile, “Not for sale, that’s fine. I was just asking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, within Su Mo’s heart, there were waves of turmoil; he insisted on asking this foolish question despite the warnings from the Fake Owner·Swallower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply wanted to test the old man’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been anyone else, he thought they might have exploded in rage, maybe even swept him out in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the guy’s reaction was so calm that it was surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this old man probably had an unusual relationship with the Fake Owner·Swallower, otherwise, why else would he be so indulgent with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the old man’s pale face suddenly flushed red, and he coughed violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He coughed into a tissue, staining it black with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo paused for a moment, then out of concern asked, “Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man coughed a few times, pocketed the tissue, and replied indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the old man’s gaze casually fell on Su Mo’s neck, noticing the fading of the dark red Negative Energy Pollution Blood Stain, revealing a peculiar hint of attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, the Negative Energy Pollution Blood Stain is irreversible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good to hear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo acknowledged, thinking, if the old guy were to pass away, he wouldn’t have a place to buy good stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want to buy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man hoarsely asked, perhaps because of Su Mo’s earlier concern earning a modicum of goodwill, or wanting to quickly dismiss Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, I’m looking to buy a level 5 starship. If you have a good recommendation, let me know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo made his intentions clear without holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much money do you have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man asked straightforwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s eyes lit up, feeling there might actually be a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“100 billion Star Coins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the old man swiftly pulled a paper-yellow buy-sell contract from a drawer at the counter and handed it to Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sign, pay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo took it, looked through the purchase contract and accompanying transaction data, and the more he looked, the more his mouth twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was selling him a level 5 Battleship·Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Superficially, there’s no issue; it was indeed a level 5 starship. But the problem was the data clearly stated it was a second-hand starship, someone that had served over two hundred years, older than his grandfather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo nearly spat out blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, this is a used ship; don’t you have a new one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have, for more money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man answered promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s face darkened as he replied, “I only have 100 billion Star Coins. If I had more, would I come here to buy? And 100 billion is enough, you can buy a brand new level 5 ship outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want it or not? Otherwise, you can go buy from outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man replied devoid of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo was a bit frustrated, his lips twitching under the endless sense of déjà vu from when he bought the bio armor. Maybe the old man was making up for last time’s loss?\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-09T07:18:43.187Z",1,"novelbin.me","da94fea57fb3b6ee79bfd155b6e29af65f202445d75c9d90f23febcaafaf552b","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-1028","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-1026",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
