Chapter 489: Are You Kidding Me?


    "Upgrade opportunity for MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle)."


    Upon returning, Su Chen''s first order of business was this. He hadn''t forgotten that what he needed was a Base that could directly teleport back to Earth.


    "MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) upgrade complete," the System''s voice echoed. Su Chen looked around, and he couldn''t help but notice some changes in the Command Room, which he might not have noticed had he not spent most of his time there.


    The changes in the Command Room were secondary; what Su Chen cared about most was the teleportation function. He shouted, "Teleport back to the main Base!"


    However, several seconds passed, and he remained in place. Su Chen''s heart sank as he felt a sense of de?ja? vu.


    "System, can you tell me if the upgraded Base can teleport back to Earth?"


    The System''s response sent a chill down Su Chen''s spine: "An MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) upgraded once can only expand the Base''s teleportation range to the Small Galaxy you are currently in. To teleport directly back to Earth, the owner needs to upgrade the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) once more."


    Su Chen''s mouth twitched. Are you kidding me?


    I''ve worked my butt off to complete missions, all to be able to teleport back to Earth, and now I''m one upgrade short?


    "Then let''s activate the designated mission again."


    "The System cannot continuously issue designated missions; there needs to be a certain interval."


    Crack!


    Su Chen couldn''t hold back any longer. He smashed the table in front of him, and if the System had a physical form, he would have definitely given it a good beating.


    Su Chen took a deep breath. Since the idea of teleporting directly back to Earth had been shattered, he needed to focus on other matters.


    "Lily."


    Su Chen called the Super Soldier who had just joined his ranks. Lily had removed the strange makeup from her face, and her overall appearance had improved significantly.


    You see, outside, Lily''s feet would never touch the ground; that was the pride of a superpower user. But in front of the Commander, she walked step by step.


    "Lily, report to the Commander," Lily saluted.


    "When the Ghost Clan first encountered Warships, they were taken by surprise. Fortunately, Ghost Clan members of eighth order and above joined forces and managed to destroy several Warships, revealing that Warships were not invincible weapons. The Ghost Clan became curious about Warships and forcefully captured one, which supposedly only a Ghost Emperor is qualified to use."


    "Where is this Warship?"


    "It''s likely with the Ghost Emperor."


    Su Chen nodded slightly. As long as the Ghost Clan hadn''t used the Warship to leave Yan Yun Star, the safety of the other planets outside remained high.


    Lily took her orders. Her task was daunting, but as long as she could establish Bases on other planets, Su Chen would have an escape route.


    Regardless of the circumstances, even when the winds were in his favor, Su Chen always planned his escape route. After all, during his time on Earth, he had been at his most vulnerable when he first faced a ninth-order expert and was pushed back to the main Base.


    Since then, Su Chen had realized the importance of having an escape plan.


    Once Lily established Bases on other planets, Su Chen would have a trump card!


    Suddenly, Su Chen remembered the Parasitic Species from before and asked casually, "What''s the Parasitic Species up to now?"


    However, after waiting for a while, there was no response. He looked at Ju Ling and Tanya, who seemed hesitant to speak.


    "What''s going on? This is the first time I''ve seen that expression on your faces," Su Chen suddenly became interested.


    After hesitating for a while, Ju Ling finally spoke, "Commander, the Parasitic Species somehow found the stored black Energy Crystals, consumed many of them, and is now in hibernation."


    Su Chen''s face turned stiff. He quickly checked the warehouse''s footage and was shocked by what he saw.


    You see, the warehouse was filled with black Energy Crystals, all obtained from killing Ghost Clan and Shadow Ghosts. However, now the warehouse was empty, as if it were brand new.


    "He ate all of the stock?" Su Chen looked at the two of them, and Ju Ling and Tanya could only nod.


    Su Chen now understood why they were reluctant to speak. Those stocks could have been exchanged for at least tens of millions of Energy Points, but they had been devoured by a single Parasitic Species. It was like digging into Su Chen''s flesh! (To be continued)
