The Seventh Base

Chapter 912: Chapter 7: Destination (Extended Chapter)

As she spoke, she cast a disdainful glance at Nuolin.

Nuolin’s dark eyes turned to look at Xiao Qi, then she observed the others who had come with Xu Mo, Ye Qingdie, Ye Huan, and Ying, noticing that their expressions were normal, which implied that what Xiao Qi said might be true.

This left Nuolin somewhat stunned; ruling a star domain from scratch?

Zack and Lincoln remained expressionless, but their hearts were slightly stirred. Xu Mo’s background was mysterious, and from conversations with him, they could only discern that he was seasoned, possessing a maturity and ambition beyond his years, but they had no knowledge of Xu Mo’s past.

The casual words of Xu Mo’s companion made them somewhat astonished. If true, perhaps this was a major development opportunity for Skull Star.

“A thousand warships is indeed not a difficult matter. The base there has already mastered the construction technology of warships. As long as there are enough materials and personnel, warships can be directly built. A thousand vessels are just a matter of time,” Xu Mo said, “However, the speed of building warships is still too slow, and the upgrade cycle of technology is fast. In the past, I would simply seize them.”

Zack: “……”

Lincoln: “……”

So, after talking for a while, they realized they were kindred spirits?

Xu Mo was also in this line of work?

“Was Mr. Xu Mo also an interstellar thief before?” Hans asked from beside Zack.

“I worked as one for a while,” Xu Mo replied, “Initially, the base was attacked by interstellar thieves. We captured a leader of the thieves, and then I simply became a thief myself, seizing a batch of warships to get started.”

Even though he’s seated in this position now, to solidify that position, he needs to display strength. The Chiyou and his previously shown individual combat power are his strength. Now, revealing a bit of his past glorious achievements would win more trust from this band of thieves, as there are many big and small leaders at the banquet who might not necessarily obey him.

“Of course, those are minor matters. I still prefer honest business and convincing people with reason. Therefore, we need to transition. In dealing with the Church, we can occasionally act as thieves, but at other times, transitioning to technology development is more important,” Xu Mo continued, “You guys don’t want to be thieves forever, do you?”

Zack and Lincoln silently criticized in their hearts. An interstellar thief talking about convincing people with reason and transforming into a tech company sounded somewhat far-fetched. But when Xu Mo said it, it was oddly convincing.

“Once we successfully transform and grow, we can also create some identity, suddenly become a Federation or imitate the Church, create a god,” Xu Mo continued. Everyone felt what Xu Mo said about the Church was right. They detested the Church to the core.

That group of hypocritical people, acting wantonly in the name of God, yet becoming a superpower in the known universe.

Will Skull Star ever have such a day?

Thinking about it still seemed too far away.

“Moreover, the environment on Skull Star is quite harsh. In the future, we also want to go to those Advanced Civilization Stars, establish businesses in the Core Land, so that at least our families won’t have to suffer on Skull Star, nor take risks following the fleet into battle. When it’s time for retirement, they have a place to settle,” Xu Mo continued, “The first step is to make money. Once the base is successfully built, we will distribute shares accordingly, and everyone will own their part. The wealth belongs to everyone. If anyone wants to leave someday, they can cash out their shares.”

Upon hearing Xu Mo’s words, the various leaders at the banquet brightened up. Xu Mo’s speech considered their future. In the past, they only thought about fighting, plundering, and warring, rarely discussing life.

These words indeed moved many people; everyone has a share, fighting for oneself.

Lincoln slightly raised his head to look at Xu Mo, adjusting the glasses on his nose. Xu Mo offered much more than Chris. Seeing it this way, Chris came up short.

He had thought about it before, but raising the fleet was hard enough for the Skull Army, requiring continuous plunder, leaving them without much capital, thus even dreaming was impossible. Reality did not allow it, and they couldn’t find channels to generate wealth.

If there really was money, they would first buy a batch of high-grade Genetic Evolution Liquid, beneficial for breaking into higher realms.

The subsequent banquet relaxed significantly. Everyone began to toast Xu Mo, their attitudes changing somewhat. Although many speculated how true or false Xu Mo’s words were, since Zack and Lincoln both acknowledged Xu Mo and yielded their positions, they decided to maintain good relations and see how things play out.

Lan Qing had remained silent, quietly observing everything from the side.

With more contact, more and more felt Xu Mo was not simple. This person had barely arrived in this Star Domain and was already beginning to build his power. Chris wanted to seize control, not expecting to hand over everything to Xu Mo on a silver platter.

Lan Qing clearly understood that although Xu Mo and Chris were currently on equal footing, Chris could not possibly outmaneuver Xu Mo. Sooner or later, Skull Star would be tightly controlled by Xu Mo.

Xu Mo stayed on Skull Star.

In the following days, he surveyed Skull Star while inspecting the current power of the Skull Army.

In fact, Skull Star was a relatively chaotic planet with no government institutions, only various forces, and the Skull Army with its powerful fleet was the dominant power in the Skull Star Domain.
