The next day, at the Imperial Court Academy delivery point.

"Please be careful when loading these items; they must be handled with care as they are valuables!"

Su Ming instructed a part-time girl standing before him.

"Don’t worry, these goods are all insured. If there’s any issue, we will compensate at the item’s value,"

the girl replied with a smile.

"Su Ming, are you ready?"

Ankaga asked Su Ming from the side.

"Yes! Let’s go."

Su Ming saw everything was set and turned to leave with Ankaga.

They headed toward the school’s main gate, with Ankaga excitedly saying,

"I wonder how much money we can get for the items we’ve scavenged."

"Don’t worry about it, it’s a surefire profit,"

"Su Ming, would the items increase in value if we were to hold onto them for a longer time?"

"That’d be difficult. We must hurry and dispose of the items. A large amount of goods are currently flowing back into the Federation from the Neutral Countries, which has a significant impact on the Federation’s market. And the more the goods flow back, the greater the impact will become, leading to a sharp drop in prices. Of course, if you’re a merchant, it’s a good opportunity to make some money right now by buying good quality goods at rock-bottom prices. Once we move beyond this cycle and the war ends, the values will rise again,"

Su Ming explained to Ankaga.

"Wow, class leader, you know so much! Then we need to act fast to dispose of the items. But where should we go for that?"

Ankaga quickly caught on after hearing Su Ming’s explanation.

"Let’s head to Golden Light Street in Area A3 where there’s an agency called Havis Interstellar Auction House. I’ve looked them up, and their reputation is excellent and their capabilities are strong. They also offer a wide range of services. We can consign our items there, and although we will lose some handling fees, it’s more reliable than selling them ourselves, and the turnover is quick."

Su Ming had already done the necessary groundwork.

"Sounds good!"

"Also, after consigning the items, I need to go to a bank to handle some business, and that bank is right next to Havis Interstellar Auction House."

"Alright! Then let’s take the orbital train to Golden Light Street in Area A3. It’s faster, and that’s a busy commercial district, so it’s congested. Plus, taking the orbital train saves money."

Ankaga suggested to Su Ming.

"Sure, we need to spend where we should, but save where we can,"

Su Ming agreed.

After leaving the school gate, the two headed for the nearest train station.

Before long, Su Ming and Ankaga boarded the orbital train heading to Golden Light Street in Area A3. As the train drew closer to the platform at Golden Light Street, more and more people got on, and the aisles were packed.

At that moment, the virtual screens in the train were broadcasting news about the Neutral Country.

"Breaking news: Twenty nations from the Neutral Zone have assembled billions of soldiers and tens of thousands of ships, ready to join the battle at any moment. The Neutral Country is fully prepared for all-out war with the Imperial Army!"

"The Federation Government has strongly condemned the aggressive actions of the Dark Star Empire, calling on the Imperial Army to stop their wrongful conduct and withdraw from the Danube Star Sea immediately."

"Two days ago, elite troops from the Anfas Empire in the Neutral Zone launched a surprise attack on a stronghold established by the Thirteenth Legion•Skull Army of the Dark Star Empire in the Danube Star Sea, destroying two level-3 battleships of the Imperial Army and killing over ten thousand Imperial soldiers! This event has caused a huge sensation, and some scholars are calling it a cross-era event, a sign that the Neutral Country is finally standing up..."

Passengers watching the news began discussing amongst themselves.

"Fight well, that’s a beautiful victory!"

"It’s about time someone beat those thugs, those robbers!" freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"This time, the Imperial Army has hit a wall."

"Ah, it’s not so simple; don’t think the Neutral Country appears strong, the odds are still not in their favor."

"We know the odds aren’t in their favor, but we still hope they can win. To speak frankly, guess who the Dark Star Empire will go after once the Neutral Zone is completely overrun?"

"Of course, it would be us."

"So you see, we hope they can hold out. If they can drag the Imperial Army into a quagmire, that would be perfect!"

"Can’t the Federation get involved? Even covert support would be something."

"I’m not sure, but I don’t think the Federation will sit idly by. As for the specifics, we ordinary folks wouldn’t know. All I do know is that the prices of basic commodities have been fluctuating a lot recently, seeing quite an increase."

...

Su Ming listened to their discussions and fell into thought.

Ankaga whispered to Su Ming,

"I’ve noticed that although people online overwhelmingly view the Neutral Country favorably, most of the people are still clear-headed and can see the strengths and weaknesses of both sides."

"It’s quite normal. Some things really can’t stand up to scrutiny, like the casualty ratio, which clearly shows the situation! But that’s not something for us to worry about. That’s for the big shots to consider."

"Right!"

"We’re approaching our stop; get ready to get off."

Su Ming looked at the location displayed on the information screen within the carriage and said.

"Okay!"

Ankaga nodded.

...

Moments later, Su Ming and Ankaga appeared on Golden Light Street, carrying their possessions.

The whole stretch of Golden Light Street was bustling with crowds, throbbing with life, and filled with fashionable young men and women dressed in luxury.

On both sides of the street sat high-rise buildings with unique designs and artistic flair.

High above, virtual projection screens displayed advertisements featuring the superstar Hilis in a white swan evening gown, with her fair skin smooth as cream, her bright eyes sparkling like stars, her beauty breathtaking, her figure tall and slim, curves exquisite, exuding an elegant aura.
