Then came a ding sound!
Su Mo’s electronic bracelet popped up with a notification.
"Congratulations on successfully auctioning the Moon Shadow Star, please proceed to Extraction Depot No.1....."
Su Mo glanced at the information, stretched lazily, and cheerfully muttered to himself.
"All settled, I’ll pick up the necklace tomorrow and handle the expense reimbursement at the same time."
"Hmph, it would be amusing if it doesn’t get reimbursed."
The creator·swallower poured cold water on the idea.
"How could it not? Lord Icaroya arranged it, who would dare not reimburse it, sleep, sleep....."
Su Mo’s heart skipped a beat, but then reconsidered, unlikely, and he stretched himself again, lying on the bed.
Soon, Su Mo fell asleep, little did he know that at the moment he auctioned the Moon Shadow Star, the whole Star Ring City forum was abuzz.
"Breaking news, the Moon Shadow Star has actually been sold?"
"Which tycoon bought it?"
"Mechanical Empire? Not likely, they’re short on funds now for rapid development, who would buy such luxury goods."
"10 trillion Star Coins, enough to support a nation’s strategic development goals."
....
-------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning.
Su Mo arrived early at Extraction Depot No.1.
He quickly received his purchase under the diligent attention of the staff.
Of course, before unwrapping, there was no way to tell what was inside, not even the staff knew.
This ensured customer privacy.
After obtaining the items, Su Mo immediately returned to the Immortal Blade, shut the door, and unwrapped layer upon layer of packaging.
Next, a precise mechanical box was revealed.
Su Mo carefully opened it, and an eerie purple glow emitted out, revealing a magnificently crafted necklace.
"Wow, truly impressive! Flawless, except for the price."
"Your taste for appreciation is not worth mentioning."
The creator·swallower suddenly chimed in.
Su Mo wasn’t annoyed, leisurely used his electronic bracelet to take pictures of the necklace. Then saved his purchase record, organized all the information, and promptly sent it using Krisia’s provided anonymous contact.
He completed everything and patiently awaited the approval of the public funds.
...
Star Ring City·Administrative Council Building.
Icaroya was expressionless, reviewing documents.
Suddenly, her bracelet vibrated, and a message popped up in her private account.
She waved a hand to project the information; only to reveal the photo of Moon Shadow Star, purchase records, and reimbursement bank card details hovering on display.
Observing the 10 trillion Star Coins price, Icaroya’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her mouth couldn’t resist a slight twitch, with a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Su Mo, happily waiting for the public funds reimbursement.
Unexpectedly felt a chill down his spine, couldn’t help but sneeze.
"Achoo~"
Su Mo rubbed his nose, with a puzzled expression, muttered to himself: "What on earth? Why did I sneeze, could I be catching a cold?"
Just then, Su Mo’s electronic bracelet vibrated again.
Su Mo glanced, instantly beamed with joy, and said happily.
"Settled, 10 trillion reimbursement has been credited. See, that’s efficiency."
"Hmph."
The creator·swallower chuckled lowly, saying nothing more.
"Alright, everything is prepared, just waiting to set off."
Su Mo said as he began to search for flight information to the Immortal Empire, astonishingly surprised by the results.
All flights of the Immortal Empire are exclusive to citizens only.
"This Immortal Empire certainly imposes enough exclusivity, which complicates things."
"Then just sail over yourself, if you don’t want to use the Immortal Blade, the Shadow will work."
"No, my instincts tell me, there’s more to this banquet than meets the eye. Could be dangerous, fewer people, the better."
"What’s your plan then?"
"If necessary, I’ll pilot a mecha."
Su Mo quickly made a decision.
"Well~ alright, but going there, given your straightforward nature, it might be difficult to outsmart those old foxes."
The creator·swallower voiced concerns, worried Su Mo might struggle in this regard.
"Yeah, you’re right! I’m genuinely not skilled in wooing."
Su Mo felt a bit uneasy momentarily.
Both lapsed into silence for a while.
Soon, an idea flashed in Su Mo’s mind, and he spoke up.
"Exactly! We still have days left; let’s watch some TV shows about it, learn some tricks."
"Well~ it’s all we can do."
The creator·swallower commented, not too optimistic about it.
...
------------------------
Several days later, Immortal Empire·Immortal City.
A palace built from grey boulders, with a spire soaring through the clouds, was brightly lit.
Countless ribbons hang down.
Fireworks constantly shot into the black sky, exploding into splendid colors.
Inside the lavish palace, Prince Kyarat, Reoter, and various core members of the Immortal Empire, all dressed in extravagant attire, were present.
Each held a drink, engaged in merry conversations.
On a large throne in front of the hall, sat an elderly figure, thin-bodied, sharp-eyed, wearing purple dragon-patterned attire, who was none other than Kilmock.
He was expressionless, watching the crowd below.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded.
"Lady Krisia is here!"
The bustling scene quieted instantly, everyone ceased chatting, and turned to look.
Lady Krisia appeared in a purple gown, slender hair elegantly pinned up, adorned with luxurious jewelry, supported by maids, gradually entering the venue.
