I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

"seabed!"

Jiang Qizhang pulled out a three-dimensional map from the screen of his watch and spread it out on the open space in the middle of the reception room.

"Look here, here, and here. These are the areas where we detected the most intense reactions. There must be a huge number of Zerg down there."

Seeing that Su Mo was listening attentively, Jiang Qi Zhang continued to make even more shocking speculations.

"The data from the seabed exploration also shows that where the Zerg gather, there may be spirit stone veins."

"The scale is probably even larger than those excavated on land."

"However, the Zerg congregation is very deep underwater, more than 2000 meters below the surface, making it difficult to deal with."

"Xiao Su, what do you think?"

Su Mo sat there silently and did not answer for a while.

How could she see it? In fact, she had never been to the sea, let alone such a deep sea. Su Mo had no idea what was going on there.

But now that Jiang Qizhang said this, it is clear that the seabed is an unavoidable problem, which is really a big trouble.

After returning, should she find time to take the flying boat for a try? She wanted to see if the flying boat's protective cover was waterproof. If it was, that would be great. If not, she would have to ask Yuan Qi, who had gone to the Teaching Tower for help.

Su Mo was still thinking about what to do when Fu Laiyi returned to the reception room.

Su Mo and Jiang Qi Zhang both looked at him subconsciously.

Fu Laiyi walked back to his previous seat and sat down, his expression still embarrassed.

"Principal Su, the price you offered is far beyond our budget. Can you please…"

Fu Laiyi was a general after all, so he could compete with his colleagues in the army for people and equipment, but this was the first time he bargained with a little girl.

Or is it still about slashing the ankle with a knife? Hiss...

Facing Su Mo's clear eyes, Fu Laiyi was very hesitant.

"Too expensive? You want 1000 ninth-level monsters from me, General Fu."

Fu Laiyi secretly encouraged himself and said, "Now is wartime, this is a special period. Principal Su, please be understanding."

"The military's original intention was to restore peace to Blue Planet as soon as possible."

Su Mo seemed to think for a moment, then said, "In that case, how about the military temporarily renting some reptiles from me?"

"After all the Zerg on Blue Star are cleared out, as long as the warriors take the initiative to terminate the contract with the Reptiles, the price will definitely satisfy General Fu."

Lease? Fu Laiyi felt uneasy. He wanted to agree immediately and get the battle pet first.

But although it was the first time he met Su Mo, he had a detailed understanding of Su Mo's information, and he didn't dare to tear up the contract and deny it.

Even this thought only flashed through his mind, and he didn't dare to think about it carefully, for fear that Su Mo would notice and directly refuse the transaction.

"The military needs to prepare a lot to form such a team, and they certainly don't want to disband it after using it once." Fu Laiyi said directly.

"Isn't this possible?" Su Mo sighed.

Jiang Qizhang sat quietly aside.

"Let's just forget it. Even if the big black ball acts alone, it won't delay it for long." Su Mo spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice.

"No!" Fu Laiyi immediately denied it.

He said seriously, "The Zerg's lair is not on the Blue Planet but within the solar system. Even if this crisis is resolved, who can guarantee that there won't be a next one?

Given what we know about the Zerg now, it's not impossible."

"Does it mean that every time, we have to trouble Principal Su to come forward?"

"Even if we are willing to entrust you with this important task, can Principal Su guarantee that he can always protect Blue Star?"

Su Mo: "..."

After expressing the military's determination, Fu Laiyi's expression immediately softened.

"Principal Su, Xia Country needs this team. At least until we are truly strong enough to deal with external invasions, Xia Country needs such a team."

"Well, what General Fu said makes sense, but I really can't give away a ninth-order reptile for nothing..."

"No, how can this be..." Is it given away for free?

Fu Laiyi was interrupted by Su Mo before he could finish his argument.

"Hey, General Fu, please listen to me first."

Fu Laiyi shut his mouth feeling a little frustrated and wanted to hear what Su Mo had to say.

"There's no way we can agree on the price of a ninth-tier reptile, but if it's a newly bred small reptile, I wonder if the military would want it."

Su Mo hesitated when he proposed to trade the newly bred reptiles, but the military was obviously not going to give up. Given the choice between giving up the big and the small, Su Mo chose the small.

Even the newly bred reptiles would be enough for any exchange she wanted to make later.

"Newly bred?"

“Can they still reproduce?”

Jiang Qi Zhang and Fu Lai Yi asked almost at the same time, then looked at each other and turned their gazes to look at Su Mo.

Su Mo nodded.

"I wonder how much combat power the newly bred reptiles can have?" Fu Laiyi asked carefully.

Although I know it is definitely not as good as the current one that can be used to conquer everywhere, it will definitely be much cheaper.

"There must be strength above level three, maybe higher or lower." Su Mo said after thinking for a while.

With Big Black Ball's current strength, the cubs he breeds will definitely be strong, but even cubs born in the same litter will not all be of the same strength.

"As for how fast it will grow or how high it can reach, it all depends on the subsequent training."

"Are you sure?" Fu Laiyi asked, suppressing his excitement.

Level three is not low. Even if 1000 level three reptiles are not as smooth as the big black balls against the Zerg, they can still win. What's more, they will grow and become more courageous.

"Of course, for these Zergs invading Blue Star, third-level reptiles are enough." Su Mo commented.

Using a big black ball is really an overkill.

"What about the price..." Fu Laiyi asked.

"4000 million..."

"Can't it be less?"

Su Mo: "..."

Fu Laiyi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Su Mo. He turned his gaze slightly to the branches outside the window of the reception room, waiting for Su Mo's answer.

Su Mo looked at Fu Laiyi, who was embarrassed but determined, and then at Jiang Qizhang, who seemed to be out of the matter.

He sighed and said, "I have a suggestion that won't cost the military any points."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Laiyi's gaze immediately turned back to stare at Su Mo's face. Without saying a word, Su Mo could already feel that he was urging him to speak quickly.

"How about exchanging the ownership of the two planets with me?" Su Mo said what he wanted.

She felt that this deal was a great bargain for the military. How was it any different from a no-cost deal?

Su Mo's proposal stunned both of them. They didn't expect Su Mo to ask for this directly.

After the initial surprise, Fu Laiyi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Su Mo.

Waiting for me here? This is why Su Mo asked for such a high price, right?

Su Mo curled the corners of his mouth and didn't care what they would think. It was similar to what Fu Laiyi thought. She was asking for an exorbitant price. After all, there was no precedent for this kind of transaction before. Who could tell a standard?

To be honest, Su Mo felt that he had asked for too little for such a huge number of high-level monsters, but it was obvious that the military and the official authorities would not think so.

This deal, which neither side wants to compromise on, must be completed, so Su Mo can only try his best to fight for it.

Anyway, she would never let anyone think that asking her for things was an easy thing.

Su Mo noticed Fu Laiyi's expression change, so he simply reminded him, "General Fu, why don't you ask for his opinion again? What if the commander-in-chief also thinks my suggestion is good?"

When it comes to the ownership of the celestial body, Fu Laiyi really has no say.

He stood up, took a deep breath, and glanced at Jiang Qizhang.

Jiang Qizhang: "Just ask."

He felt that the commander-in-chief would most likely agree, if..., hehe.

Fu Laiyi nodded, looked at Su Mo and nodded again, then strode out again.

Jiang Qizhang then looked at Su Mo and asked, "Did you suddenly think of asking for ownership? Or was it something you had planned for a long time?"

Su Mo looked hurt.

"When did I ever plot against the authorities?"

"If the military hadn't proactively asked for the crawler and was so determined to get it done, I wouldn't have come up with such a good idea."

Jiang Qizhang had a complicated expression.

Jiang Qi Zhang felt that his relationship with Su Mo was indeed the best among all the officials in Xia State. There were some things that he felt Su Mo should know.

Without beating around the bush, Jiang Qizhang said bluntly, "The meeting approved the proposal to allow you to purchase the ownership of the planet, mostly because they wanted to take back the points you have."

"The military might be satisfied with your exchange now, but I'm afraid other departments won't approve of it."

"Really?" Su Mo shrugged.

"That's the Commander-in-Chief's concern."
