CHAPTER 758: CHAPTER 597: EXCESSIVE_4

"It seems to be the text of the Titan Clan, recording something."

"Can you understand it?"

For a moment, Su Mo felt a surge of hope.

"The database is damaged, it hasn’t been fully restored yet, I don’t have the relevant data."

The Fake Owner Swallower hesitated for a few seconds before responding.

"You’ve got to be kidding me, dropping the ball at a crucial moment? How am I supposed to decipher these texts then?"

Su Mo asked helplessly.

"There are two methods. One is to find a surviving Titan, and the other is to seek experts in Star Ring City."

The Fake Owner Swallower offered a solution.

"I see."

Su Mo picked up his phone and took some photos of the texts on the wall. Although he didn’t know what the texts recorded, it was a consolation prize nonetheless.

However, Su Mo still wasn’t ready to give up. He then said to the Fake Owner,

"Let’s search the other areas of the temple. If that doesn’t work, we’ll search those damaged buildings in the city. I refuse to believe we won’t find anything."

"Okay!"

The Fake Owner Swallower replied.

"Let’s go!"

Su Mo was action-oriented, walking towards the Gluttonous Mecha.

.....

Three days later, Su Mo stood in the center of the ruined city, piloting the Gluttonous Mecha, his expression sour as if he had eaten bitter herbs.

"This is outrageous, who did this? They’ve scavenged everything so thoroughly, not a speck left."

The always silent Fake Owner Swallower finally spoke up, "I have carefully scanned and analyzed this area, and it must have been visited by at least three different exploration teams; it’s normal that nothing is left."

Su Mo sighed and said, "Such a hidden place visited by three exploration teams, I’m impressed."

The Fake Owner Swallower spoke, "Star Ring City covers a relatively safe part of the Star Domain, with good stuff naturally scavenged. Actually, if you want high returns, just leave the covered area of Star Ring City and head to the outer regions of the Star Sky Battlefield. Of course, the risks would significantly increase."

"That means this trip was a waste; not to speak of profit, we didn’t even see a shadow of a Titan. Honestly, I’m curious about what they look like."

Su Mo slightly nodded, accepting the reality.

"Not sure, the database is incomplete."

The Fake Owner Swallower replied indifferently.

Su Mo didn’t say much else. He checked how much energy was left and his heart sank when he saw it was less than twenty-one percent.

This time the usage time was even shorter, though the battle lasted longer.

"We need to return, we are low on energy."

Su Mo said with a headache.

This time, they could only admit defeat; after all, they could not always be so lucky.

"Yes."

The Fake Owner Swallower responded.

Su Mo then controlled the Gluttonous Mecha to surge upwards towards the sky.

Soon after, the Gluttonous Mecha burst out of the planet and flew into the distant cosmos.

By then, Su Mo had come to terms with reality. Despite not gaining anything, he actually found the Titan Ruins.

Now, he faced a challenging problem.

The energy of the Gluttonous Mecha was nearly depleted, so Su Mo asked the Fake Owner Swallower with a smile,

"Xiao Shi, this exploration is coming to an end. It seems we haven’t really gained anything; does your previous offer of a fallback still stand?"

"My word is always good."

The Fake Owner Swallower replied without hesitation.

Su Mo, hearing the Fake Owner Swallower’s words, felt even less burdened and cheerfully asked,

"That’s great, but how are you going to manage one million Star Coins?"

The Fake Owner Swallower fell silent.

Su Mo was a bit puzzled, a not-so-good premonition rising within him.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long before the Fake Owner Swallower spoke.

"I’ll owe it for now; we’ll talk about it later."

"..."

"Okay!"

Su Mo’s expression became very animated, but he didn’t say anything; whatever it said went.

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

Four days later, Su Mo was piloting the Gluttonous Mecha on his way back.

Just then, a notification popped up on his virtual console.

"Temporary notice, terminate all operations. All operation tasks must return to Black Teeth within seven days, at which time Black Teeth will return to Black Brilliance."

.....

Su Mo was slightly startled when he saw the message.

What’s happening?

Are we not searching the Titan Ruins anymore?

I feel like I still have to submit this exploration report?

Su Mo then shook his head, whatever, there wasn’t much to report anyway, that planet was dirt poor.

After being scavenged by at least three waves of exploration teams, there probably wouldn’t even be any scraps left.

Rather than worrying about that, he might as well figure out how to fill in the holes. Su Mo glanced at the almost depleted energy indicator and felt a massive headache coming on.

He immediately accelerated the Mecha to return.

Three days later, Su Mo returned to the GT department’s logistics area in his Mecha.

The whole logistics area was bustling, filled with returning Mechas. Su Mo immediately spotted Qian Cheng Xue’s Fourth Generation Biological Mecha, Silver Wings.

It seemed like Qian Cheng Xue had returned earlier than him.

At that moment, Obic noticed the returning Gluttonous Mecha and, seeing the bloodstains on it, also froze.

He immediately ran over towards Su Mo.

Su Mo opened the Biological Cabin and jumped down.

"Lord Su Mo, did you get attacked?"

Obic asked nervously; his record board did not have any combat logs for Su Mo. If the Mecha was damaged, that would be a big problem.

"Ran into some trouble, but don’t worry, the body isn’t badly damaged. It just needs regular maintenance. But that built-in energy source is depleted; it needs replacing."

Su Mo reluctantly explained.

Upon hearing this, Obic suddenly felt very uncomfortable and urgently asked.

"Really, Lord Su Mo, you’ve depleted the energy again? Just encountering a battle, how could it deplete the energy? You didn’t take the Mecha on a scouting mission again, did you?"

"Haha, don’t worry just yet; I’ll pay for this energy change out of my own pocket."

Su Mo quickly interrupted him as he saw how agitated Obic was.

Upon hearing that Su Mo would bear the cost himself, Obic immediately relaxed; if it was out of his own pocket, then it didn’t matter.

"Lord Su Mo, are you sure you’ll pay yourself? Don’t trick me."

"Why would I trick you? I’ll withdraw the money, and after I’ve paid, you can change it for me."

Su Mo resignedly told Obic.

Obic replied with a beaming smile, "That won’t be necessary, how could I possibly doubt you, Lord Su Mo? I’ll get on it right away."

"Great, I’ll go withdraw the money now. Oh, and one more thing, why are we suddenly returning?"

"It’s like this, Lord Spade and the others have all returned; apparently, they found the Titan Ruins."

"Really? How were the profits?"

"I’m not sure about that, but let me tell you something in secret. When Lord Spade returned, he looked very troubled. I only dare tell you because it’s you; please don’t let it get out!"

Obic whispered quietly.

"Oh, I understand, thanks. I’ll be going then."

Su Mo thought to himself, these Titan Ruins are indeed full of pitfalls; it seems he wasn’t the only one who fell into one.

"Take care, Lord Su Mo!"

Obic said cheerfully, the more Su Mo spent, the higher his commission was. How could he not serve him well? After all, only a few could afford such expenses.
