Chapter 643 - 315: Yu Feng’s Crisis (Part 1)

Alright, having Credit Points but too poor to afford energy from the Plane Store—a pauper like Yu Feng was completely stumped by Su Jiameng’s question. For Plane Merchants, Plane Points are the eternal and immutable currency, used to trade with merchants from other planes or to shop at the Plane Store. A merchant without Plane Points is... truly a pauper.

Yu Feng thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can afford it, if you don’t mind trading with Credit Points from this plane."

Su Jiameng promptly replied, "Unfortunately, sorry, I’m not staying in this plane for long, so what’s the use of so many Credit Points?"

Yu Feng was thoroughly choked. With words so decisive, can we still pleasantly be little buddies? Previously trapped on the Forgotten Planet, Yu Feng had Credit Points but nowhere to spend them. The Plane Store only recognizes Plane Points... Clearly, he was a rich guy, yet turned into a pauper. Now he’s being despised by another equally poor Plane Merchant—unbearable!

But those Nascent Stones are too enticing. As a visionary Admiral, he’d feel uneasy if he didn’t get one!

"So... when I have Plane Points, will you sell it to me then? Anyway, I want to reserve one," Yu Feng looked at the other person’s face, sincerely, not at all like joking, "Of course, if you’re unwilling, then there’s nothing I can do."

Nascent Stones? They’re definitely findable in the Plane Store. As for the energy inside... as Su Jiameng also mentioned, it comes entirely from Ximolai Ore, the energy is extremely high-end and pure, very suitable for use in military warships, and its utilization rate is much higher than previous energy sources.

If I had enough Plane Points, I could manufacture the same Nascent Stones. But currently, there’s a real one, saving a lot of trouble.

"If you really want it, it’s not entirely without a way," Su Jiameng thought and said, "I need your help now. You know how troublesome the task in my hands is. The places I need to go are too far away... Although I’m a Plane Merchant, based on the merchant’s limitation of only taking one task at a time, I can’t use the Merchant Medal to transport until this task is completed. So... I hope you join my team, then apply for it yourself and take us with you by transportation..."

Of course, Su Jiameng said these words without much hope. Not because of anything else, just because Yu Feng is an Alliance Admiral. It is destined that this guy can’t enjoy the same freedom like her, running wild across the universe.

As an Admiral, his position within the Alliance is already very high. As above him are the Ten Marshals, a fixed number, with no promotion possible. There can only be ten Marshals, and only when the previous Marshal dies or retires can a new Marshal be born. Becoming a Marshal is a lifelong pride and the idol that every Alliance Warrior looks up to, leaving a name in history.

For most warriors, being an Admiral is the pinnacle of their life, second only to the Marshal, each one is extremely precious. Because even during wartime, even as an Admiral, the average age isn’t excessively high.

The younger the age, the greater the potential, the stronger the effect they can have on the Alliance in the future. They should stand where they’re needed most, wherever that place may be, it won’t be accompanying a small team running around doing tasks...

In conclusion, Su Jiameng didn’t hold much hope, and Yu Feng also realized this point. The two were silent for a while. Then, Yu Feng suddenly spoke, "Actually, there’s no need to be too desperate because... no one knows what will happen next. Who knows... I might just get demoted when I go back..."

Although I don’t really get why this guy might get demoted, there’s an inexplicable dark joy in my heart?

Su Jiameng secretly thought, her mindset is really not good, too sinful... She would never admit hoping that seeing the other person become her "boss", she’s secretly wishing for his bad luck. Finishing this thought, she couldn’t help but worry again. What on earth happened to Yu Feng that would make him think he might get demoted upon returning?

Generally speaking, getting demoted is no small matter. For a warrior, it’s an indelible stain for life. If someone grabs hold of it and doesn’t let go, it’s extremely humiliating. In some sense, it’s worse than directly taking one’s life, which is extremely severe! So, Su Jiameng worried about his little life, hoping he doesn’t lose it.
