Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1540 - 1221: Welcome Banquet

Revalclus Base.

Black and White Limit Fortress Command Room.

Nan Qi was leisurely eating grapes, enjoying a shoulder massage from a beautiful woman.

At that moment, the AI, Black and White Apostle, appeared and reported to Nan Qi.

"The frontline scout reports that the Star Destroyer Grey Fin is returning to Revalclus Base and is carrying a fortress."

Nan Qi jumped up, shock written all over his face.

But soon he broke into a brilliant smile, thinking to himself.

"That kid is really something, coming back from the dark side of Ceres’ starry sky so quickly. Might have really struck it rich."

With that thought, Nan Qi’s eyes couldn’t help but shift.

...

A dozen hours later, the Star Destroyer and Freedom Fortress arrived at Revalclus Base.

"Towards Artificial Meteorite 273, dock."

Su Mo said to Salile.

"No problem."

Salile nodded in agreement.

At this time inside Artificial Meteorite 273, Federation Building.

Jimambu was in his office correcting documents.

At that moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Zhen Lu rushed in in a panic.

Jimambu’s expression immediately turned unpleasant, and he reprimanded in a deep voice: "What’s with the panic."

"Lord Jimambu, Freedom Fortress has returned!"

Zhen Lu panted as she spoke.

Jimambu froze in place, shocked, and asked, "You’re not joking, are you?"

"No, Freedom Fortress is already close to Artificial Meteorite 273."

"Go! Bring everyone to greet them."

Despite his initial opposition to Augustus’s rescue plan, Jimambu couldn’t help but show enormous delight. His opposition was only because he felt there was no hope and the manpower and resources exhausted were too much to bear.

...

Inside the interstellar airport.

A fleet of small ships landed.

Once the exit opened, Li Ruiqi and others stepped out.

As they set foot on the ground, each was filled with mixed emotions.

At this time, Jimambu, bringing a large group of Federation people, eagerly came forward.

"Lord Li Ruiqi! You’re back."

"We’re back."

Li Ruiqi and others showed heartfelt smiles.

At this moment, many familiar officers excitedly embraced each other.

Jimambu said to Li Ruiqi, "I’ve already sent word of your return to the Federation. I’m sure the entire Federation will be happy about your return."

"Mm, thanks for the trouble."

Li Ruiqi nodded.

"Rest assured, I’ve arranged everything properly, so your returning companions won’t feel disappointed."

Jimambu continued, somewhat guiltily, to Li Ruiqi.

"It’s nothing. Just being able to come back is good enough."

Li Ruiqi replied with some emotion.

At this time, Su Mo disembarked from another small ship and came over.

"Lord Li Ruiqi, are the personnel arrangements all set?"

"All sorted, thanks for all your hard work on this journey."

Li Ruiqi replied with a smile.

"It’s nothing much."

Su Mo waved his hand, unconcerned.

Jimambu looked at Su Mo, unsure of what to say for a moment, after all, he had intentionally let him down before.

Just then, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated, displaying a message.

After taking a glance, Su Mo said to Li Ruiqi and Jimambu, "I have things to handle, I’ll be off now."

"Alright, go ahead."

Li Ruiqi nodded in response.

Thus, Su Mo headed towards the small ship.

...

Soon, the small ship took off, heading towards Black and White Limit Fortress.

On the ship, Su Mo looked at the message and communicated with the creator, Swallower.

"What do you think Nan Qi wants from us?"

"Nothing good, definitely."

The creator, Swallower, replied in a deep tone.

"Whatever, he helped us a lot before, got to give him some face."

Su Mo stretched lazily as he spoke.

Not long after, the small ship arrived at Black and White Limit Fortress, smoothly landing in the hangar.

When Su Mo disembarked from the ship, he was met by a smiling Nan Qi.

"Ah, little brother, you finally returned. You wouldn’t believe how worried I was for you every day, couldn’t eat or sleep well, scared something would happen to you."

Nan Qi warmly approached and said.

"Is that so? I feel like you’ve gained quite a bit of weight, and you look quite healthy."

Su Mo showed a skeptical expression.

"It’s stress weight gain; let’s not talk about that. Your big brother has prepared a feast to welcome you."

Nan Qi spoke without a blush.

"Alright."

Su Mo didn’t refuse.

The two then headed towards the floating lift.

Soon after, they arrived at the dining room, where Nan Qi had prepared a table full of exquisite dishes and a bottle of aged wine.

Su Mo looked at the bottle of wine and murmured to himself.

"A fox giving a chicken a New Year’s greeting, can’t be good-hearted."

But he still sat down without showing his thoughts.

Nan Qi then opened the bottle of fine wine, smiling while pouring Su Mo a large glass, and immediately said.

"This is top-notch Lanling Wine, an aged wine I’ve treasured for five hundred years. I usually can’t bear to drink a sip, try it."

"Oh, let me taste it. By the way, what did you want to see me for?"

Su Mo took a sip from the glass, tasting its sweetness and smooth texture.

"I heard you came into a fortune."

Nan Qi promptly remarked.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo nearly spat out the wine he had just sipped, coughing and saying, "Excuse me."

"Don’t be like that! Brother, let’s talk slowly."

Nan Qi quickly urged Su Mo.

"I’m curious how you know I struck it rich. Do I have someone from your side in my crew?"

Su Mo looked at Nan Qi with a mix of anger and amusement.

"Cough, cough, I just heard about it, those details aren’t important. We brotherly bond, right?"

Nan Qi replied with a smile.

"Seriously, you’re something else."

Su Mo had no choice but to sit back down.

"Haha, let’s eat first."

Nan Qi courteously gave Su Mo some dishes. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Su Mo patiently continued eating, then said to Nan Qi.

"Don’t beat around the bush, just tell me what you want."

"Hehe, I heard you’ve got a bunch of supplies. You’ve got to deal with all that, right? Why sell to others when you can sell to your brother here? As the saying goes, keep it in the family, and as your big brother, I won’t cheat you."

Nan Qi said with a grin.

Su Mo pondered for a moment; all those miscellaneous things might be best dealt with in one go.

With that thought, Su Mo’s demeanor eased considerably, and he replied.

"Since you’re asking, selling to you is fine, but the price can’t be too low."

"Haha, I knew you’d be straightforward. Let’s eat, after that we’ll assess the value, and I assure you a satisfying price."

Nan Qi responded excitedly.

"Alright!"

Su Mo readily agreed.
