I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Su Mo sat down again, nodding as he spoke, while keeping an eye on the situation outside.

"I wonder if they still have those battle pets you got for the military before?"

The pet combat unit at the military headquarters has already become quite formidable, and its performance is evident to all the leaders. However, since the pet combat unit is directly under the control of the General Military Region, there's nothing that can be done even if they're envious.

The commanders of the major military regions all regretted it. When the commander-in-chief held a meeting to discuss it, he did not make up his mind to take it. Although everyone was interested in the battle pet troops, no one was willing to take on such a big "debt" of ownership of two planets with the authorities.

There was no other way, so the Commander-in-Chief assigned the task to the Central Army stationed in Beijing. The Central Army was, in a sense, independent of the four major military regions, and its main area of ​​operation was in the two provinces of Xian'an and Zhongzhou. Compared with the four major military regions that were responsible for guarding the border, the Central Army was smaller in scale and had fewer personnel. Moreover, it was under the Commander-in-Chief's nose and was not so free.

Just like this time, none of the four military regions were willing to take on the task, but the Commander-in-Chief made the decision, and the Central Army insisted on taking it on.

The pet unit performed better than expected, and as a result, a sour smell permeated every meeting at the military headquarters afterwards.

Someone had already made a sample, and after seeing that this thing was indeed good, the commanders of the four military regions all went to the commander-in-chief to try to get some as well. That's right, including Pan Laiming. Since everyone else had gone, he couldn't possibly fall behind, even though that thing was obtained through a transaction with Su Mo.

Even if he doesn't get it, so be it. If the other three military regions get it, he definitely wants it too! His conflict with Su Mo is his business, but the Commander-in-Chief certainly can't ignore the Northern Province Military Region.

It's a good idea, but it's useless. The Commander-in-Chief didn't care about any of them. The authorities can't possibly loosen their grip on so many things. If every military region does this, wouldn't everything outside of Blue Star be Su Mo's territory?

But the Space Force is different. At the time of the meeting, the Space Force was busy with internal issues and did not participate. This time, they took the initiative to apply, and the military and the government approved it.

Zhang Yide's task wasn't to finalize the deal with Su Mo; his main responsibility was to gather information.

"The Space Force also wants to buy crawlers?" Su Mo asked, raising an eyebrow.

Before she left, Political Commissar Yang had said that she might need his help in the future. She thought that he meant the future, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Zhang Yide nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said bluntly, "The reptile battle pets have undergone various extreme environment tests and can maintain stable combat power. They are partners that our space force needs very much."

He was a little uneasy as he said this. After all, it was a monster that Su Mo sold to the military. Would she think that the military was cruel to the reptile cubs?

Su Mo was not surprised that the military would do this.

"Why not just transfer those contracted warriors to the Space Force? Why bother training a whole new batch? It's too much trouble."

"Anyway, the internal situation of Earth should be quite stable in the future, so they won't have many opportunities to use their skills, right?"

If you ask her if she'd be willing to sell another batch to the military, of course she would. This is a huge deal involving the ownership of one or two planets.

The problem now is that there are not many Zerg left on the Earth's surface, and they are scattered. They are also being targeted by various forces, who are hunting down the remaining Zerg every day.

She couldn't let the big black ball sweep through.

The giant black sphere requires a lot of energy to reproduce, so it definitely can't reproduce now. We'll have to see how things go on the seabed to know if the giant black sphere can reproduce successfully next time.

"Su Mo, you're joking," Zhang Yide thought to himself, speechless.

The Central Military Commission put in so much pressure to train its combat pet unit, and even the four major military regions couldn't get this reward. The Space Force doesn't want to do this either, since it's not like they can't afford it.

"The Space Force has only been established for a short time. We can't create any discord with other military regions over something like this. If you still have it, we can train our own."

"How many do you want?" Su Mo asked.

Zhang Yide didn't hesitate this time. He quickly said, "If possible, we'd like 1000 of them too."

Su Mo had already traded 1000 units with the military, plus 500 from the association. It took nearly a year to deliver both orders, even when the Zerg were most abundant on land.

Given the current unclear situation at the bottom of the sea, even if Su Mo wanted to make this deal, he couldn't just agree to it outright.

"That's a lot. Reptile reproduction requires a lot of energy, and there aren't many Zerg left," Su Mo shook his head.

Zhang Yide sighed inwardly; of course, they were aware of this situation.

"Is there no other way?"

Su Mo glanced at him.

"I can expand the black sphere to sweep through the secret realm and replenish its energy. Do you think the association will allow that?"

Zhang Yide "..."

He pursed his lips awkwardly. That's true. Who doesn't need the resources on Blue Star that can produce psionic energy? Apart from taking psionic energy from the massive number of Zerg, no one would object. Others, however, are hard to say.

“If you’re not in a hurry, then wait while I go and check the situation in the sea. If conditions permit, we can finalize this deal,” Su Mo said without hiding anything.

"real!?"

"Well, I don't have a better way either," Su Mo said, shrugging.

Zhang Yide slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, okay, we have time to wait. Please trust the Space Force's sincerity. Contact me as soon as things can be done."

He didn't mention any conditions for the purchase; those could be discussed later once things were finalized. In fact, his superiors had suggested exchanging ownership of a celestial body for it, but he hadn't said that.

Previously, when exchanging ownership of celestial bodies, Su Mo was allowed to choose for himself. But now it's different. If the Space Force obtains information about the spiritual energy concentration on those celestial bodies, will they still be willing to let Su Mo choose freely?

Unsure of the outcome, Zhang Yide decided not to bring it up yet, as he didn't want any unexpected changes to occur before receiving the results from Su Mo.

"It's good that you're not in a hurry. I really can't give you a definite answer right now. I understand. We'll talk about it later." Su Mo finalized the matter.

She was unaware of Zhang Yide's complicated thoughts, and because she herself was not sure if she could gather enough resources, she had no intention of discussing the price with him.

Since neither party brought it up, the matter remained unresolved.

Having said that, Zhang Yide has essentially completed his mission.

"Alright, I'll send you the results after the voyage ends. That's all for now," Su Mo said, standing up.

They returned to their room.

In the vast universe, there are only scattered points of light.

The small shuttle gradually approached the first alternative target set by Su Mo.

When they were 1000 kilometers apart, Su Mo ended her conversation with Zhang Yide and returned to her room.
