"Thatâs right, even if this weapon is limited, itâs still stronger than conventional ones!"
Celeste also agreed with a nod.
At this moment, Ankaga turned her eyes and tried to ask Su Ming.
"Boss, donât you have a purple Level 5 Energy Crystal, canât that be replaced?"
"No way, although a Level 5 Energy Crystal can barely be used, its power isnât as good as this nearly depleted black energy crystal."
Su Ming rejected Ankagaâs suggestion.
"True."
Ankaga scratched her head.
"Iâm done chatting with you, Iâm going to the logistics department to check if thereâs a Level 6 black energy crystal."
Su Ming thought for a moment and said to Rhein and the others.
"Okay!"
Rhein and the others immediately responded.
...
Abyss of Descent·Federation Defense Line Headquarters (outside).
Su Ming took a mobile platform to the logistics department.
Clack!
At this moment, the mobile platform stopped, the closed metallic door opened, and Su Ming walked straight out into a very spacious metal hall, filled with chatting officers and generals.
This hall is the logistics departmentâs requisition hall, where most requisition dealings take place.
Su Ming walked straight inside.
Along the way, officers saw Su Ming and each smiled and nodded in greeting.
Su Ming responded with a smile and nod.
However, he always felt something was slightly off.
Soon Su Ming arrived at the requisition window, noticing a long line had already formed.
"So many people?"
Su Ming was a bit surprised.
"Su Ming!"
At this time, a pained voice sounded from nearby.
Su Ming turned his head to see Su Yuan walking over, wrapped in resentment.
"Yo, what a coincidence!"
Su Ming replied with a smile.
"What coincidence! Arenât you ashamed? You took my wife and even tricked me, I almost got stuck in the canteen, youâre too much, I treated you so well, and I despise you!"
Su Yuan also rolled his eyes at Su Ming.
Su Ming chuckled and teased.
"Is it appropriate to talk to your creditor like that? Shouldnât you be more polite?"
"Pssh, itâs just 10 billion, here you go."
Su Yuan directly pinched a black card between two fingers and tossed it over with flair.
Su Ming was also taken aback, raising his hand to catch the black card.
"Got some money now? I was thinking of letting it go."
"No, one debt, one repayment! Now that Iâve paid you back, weâre equal, I can despise you now."
"Alright, suit yourself."
Su Ming shrugged, amused and helpless.
At this moment, several officers passed by, smiling and nodding at Su Ming.
Su Mingâs face immediately showed a puzzled expression, he didnât know these officers, yet why were they so warmly greeting him?
"Hey hey, Iâm talking to you, can you respect me a bit?"
Su Yuan saw Su Mingâs eyes wandering and grumbled.
"Su Yuan, why are they all being so cordial with me?"
Su Ming asked curiously.
"Whatâs strange about it, theyâre grateful for your contributions. The supplies being collected today are thanks to your contributions! Recently, with the supply lines frequently faltering, every allocation collected was meager, but this time theyâve finally got a good supply."
Su Yuan replied without thinking.
"I see, no wonder everyoneâs so polite."
Upon hearing Su Yuanâs explanation, Su Ming suddenly realized.
At this moment, Su Yao, Belice, and Genet walked over, politely greeting.
"Su Ming, youâre here too."
"Yeah, Iâm here to apply for something."
Su Ming nodded in response.
"Alright, letâs queue together then."
Su Yao suggested to Su Ming.
"Okay!"
Su Ming and the others then walked to the end of the line.
At this point, Su Yao curiously asked Su Ming.
"Su Ming, can I ask you something?"
"Of course."
Su Ming responded readily.
"How did you secretly infiltrate deep into enemy territory and capture Norton Fortress without any damage?"
Su Yao inquired earnestly.
Su Yuan and the others also turned to Su Ming upon hearing this, equally puzzled.
"Oh, that! My Sunshine has excellent stealth capability, thatâs how we got deep inside. As for capturing Norton Fortress, thatâs a military secret I canât disclose, sorry."
Su Ming briefly explained.
"Understood."
Su Yao replied earnestly.
"Pssh, whatâs so secretive about it...."
Su Yuan said casually.
But halfway through, Su Yaoâs look silenced him immediately.
At this moment, their turn came, and Su Yao stepped forward to handle the requisition, handing the application form to the window.
An elderly man took a careful look and then picked up the stamp and pressed it down.
"All done!"
"Thank you."
Su Yao politely responded, then stepped aside for Su Ming to proceed.
Su Ming then walked to the window and politely inquired.
"Hello, Iâd like to ask! Is there a Level 6 black energy crystal in the warehouse?"
The elderly man was taken aback by Su Mingâs question and then spoke.
"General, how should I address you?"
"Su Ming!"
"General Su Ming, we donât have a Level 6 black energy crystal here, the highest inventory we have is the Level 5 purple energy crystal. Currently, only the Cosmic Army Headquarters and the Federation Headquarters have Level 6 black energy crystals, but this kind of item is a top-level strategic resource, very difficult to get approval for."
"Alright, thanks."
Su Ming replied somewhat regretfully.
Though the Cosmic Army Headquarters has it, itâs impossible for him to really go fetch it, plus getting approval is another issue.
Su Yao and the others inquired, puzzled.
