Chapter 983: Chapter 413: An Unexpected Surprise (5-in-1)

In an instant, numerous interstellar pirates piloted their mechas, fleeing like headless flies.

Su Ming operated the Fake V Generation Mecha·Shadow Lord, turning into a black streak of light, attacking the remaining Level 4 battleships.

An hour later.

The interstellar pirates were either dead or had escaped!

Seven Level 4 battleships, four were sunk by Su Ming and his team, and three escaped.

Immediately after, Ankaga and others, with the help of the Holy Army personnel, forcibly boarded the mother ship to clear out the remaining pirates inside.

Su Ming, Alfaku, Novlin, and others piloted their mechas into the hangar inside the Meteorite Stronghold.

Boom!

Several mechas landed on their positions.

Click!

Su Ming opened the cockpit and jumped down, then removed the Symbiotic Armor covering his body.

Novlin and Alfaku approached him.

“Lord Su Ming, thank you for your help.”

Novlin said gratefully.

“Novlin, no need to be so polite, we’re all on the same side.”

Su Ming greeted with a smile.

At this moment, Alfaku glanced at Su Ming, examined him up and down, and asked Novlin in surprise.

“Novlin, when did you get to know such a big figure in the Federation? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?”

“Lord Alfaku, don’t forget! I mentioned it. The reason we escaped from the Imperial Army last time was thanks to him.”

Novlin immediately said to Alfaku.

“Wait, wasn’t he just a major?”

Alfaku asked in shock.

It’s known that those capable of piloting Fake V Generation Mechas are at least General Level; majors can’t possibly afford it.

“I was a major at the time, indeed, but now I’m a Major General.”

Su Ming explained with a smile.

“How long has it been? You’ve climbed three levels?”

Alfaku was stunned upon hearing Su Ming’s words. Federation ranks are not casually promoted; every level requires a large amount of military merit. Additionally, as ranks increase, power and status also grow.

“I just got lucky, got promoted quickly. How have you been lately?”

Su Ming replied wittily.

Novlin shook her head and responded.

“Su Ming, after you left, we temporarily retreated to the Land of Lost. But as we have too many people, and the expenses in the Land of Lost are too high, Lord Alfaku couldn’t afford to support so many of us. So, he led us back to the Dark Forest, where we established a new stronghold and searched for resources! Fortunately, Heaven pays off one’s efforts; we discovered a very high-grade Energy Crystal Vein here, and after much effort, we finally extracted it, only to be targeted by Black Shark interstellar pirates.”

“I see.”

Su Ming nodded upon hearing this.

Alfaku then said to Su Ming.

“Lord Su Ming, you really helped us a great deal this time. Our Holy Army always repays grace and grudges! Follow me, I have a gift for you.”

“You don’t have to be so polite, do you?”

Su Ming replied with some surprise.

“Don’t refuse; refusing would mean disrespecting me.”

Alfaku said heartily.

“Lord Su Ming, don’t be polite with us.”

Novlin also persuaded, as without Su Ming’s help this time, they would have been in grave danger.

“Alright.”

Seeing Alfaku saying this, Su Ming no longer refused.

“Follow me!”

Alfaku and Novlin then led Su Ming towards the cargo hold.

Moments later.

They arrived at the cargo hold, and Su Ming’s eyelids twitched instantly.

The huge cargo hold was filled with rows of crude boxes, packed with pale purple Energy Crystals, stretching as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

“So many Energy Crystals, and they’re purple?”

Su Ming exclaimed in shock.

He finally understood why those Black Shark interstellar pirates fought so fiercely.

With so many Energy Crystals, anyone would battle fiercely.

“This is just a portion; many have already been transported to the Level 5 transport ship.”

Alfaku said proudly to Su Ming.

“Impressive.”

Su Ming replied, slightly twitching the corner of his mouth.

“It’s nothing.”

Alfaku chuckled, leading Su Ming further inside.

Soon, they reached the innermost area, where six relatively good mechanical boxes were placed.

Alfaku stepped forward, opened a box, and inside was a deep purple Energy Crystal, emitting purple light and rings of halos, exceptionally beautiful.

Su Ming was extremely surprised upon seeing this deep purple Energy Crystal and said.

“Level 5 purple Energy Crystal!”

It’s known that Energy Crystals quality is divided into white, blue, purple, black, and colorful.

Each color of Energy Crystal has different levels.

The better the quality, the higher the level; the higher the value.

Moreover, Energy Crystals are hard currency with wide applications in energy, additives, weaponry, etc.

The two plasma lightsabers he uses have energy crystals embedded inside, and they’re only Level 5 blue energy crystals.

The box contains Level 5 purple Energy Crystals; such level of Energy Crystal is generally used for V Generation Mecha beam weapons or advanced energy power plants, with a market value starting at 20 billion, and hardly available.

“Good eyes, this is the best Energy Crystal we extracted, only six were harvested, and this one is for you.”

Alfaku said with a smile to Su Ming.

“Thank you so much, but Alfaku, are you selling your other Energy Crystals?”
