[Reward Claimed Successfully - Received 5000 points and T5 Craftsman-Class Industrial Ship blueprint x1]

T5 Craftsman-Class Industrial Ship:

Armor Strength: 2200 units

Dimensions: 10 km x 2.6 km x 2 km

Speed: 230 stellar knots

Warp Engine: Level 5

Energy Shield: Level 5, 100%

Weapons: T5 Point-Defense Laser Rapid-Fire Secondary Cannon x240

The auction was a remarkable success, bringing in substantial funds. Feng Mo promptly allocated one billion star coins across the four star systems to support development efforts. He then directed three billion to Alisa's technical department to help expand the four major fleets, quickly depleting seven billion of his earnings. With the remaining funds, he set aside resources for constructing the T5 industrial ships.

Typically, the base cost of a T5-class ship, excluding rare dark matter and dark energy crystals, would be around 50 million star coins. Factoring in those advanced materials, however, would push the cost up to nearly three billion star coins. Feng Mo planned to build two of these T5 industrial ships at once to alleviate the overwhelming workload Alisa's team faced.

In recent years of rapid expansion, Alisa had barely had time to rest, as countless tasks demanded her attention. Feng Mo realized the need to recruit skilled personnel to sustain and stabilize the growing Storm Kingdom.

He entrusted the blueprint for the T5 Craftsman-Class Industrial Ship to Ai Er, instructing her to lead the Orca and Alisa to the Beast Roar Prime Star, where they would oversee the construction of both industrial ships.

When Alisa received the news, she breathed a deep sigh of relief. Reviewing the ship's specifications brought a flush of excitement to her cheeks. The data was indeed impressive: a single T5 industrial ship could operate several times faster than a T4 counterpart, largely automated and requiring only the same number of personnel. Most importantly, its range and capabilities were vast, capable of constructing any sub-T6 ship, thus greatly facilitating fleet expansion.

With funds disbursed, the team immediately set to work. Meanwhile, Feng Mo found himself receiving an unexpected visitor in his office—someone who could be called "human" in the loosest sense.

The visitor wore a black hooded cloak, his tall, over-two-meter frame shrouded in dark fabric. The wide hood obscured much of his face, keeping his features hidden. Under ordinary circumstances, such a visitor would never have been allowed into Feng Mo's office, but this figure claimed to be an envoy from the Lizard Drake Star System and was evidently a Level 4 genetic warrior.

Once inside, the cloaked figure removed his hood, revealing a green battle suit and a lizard-like face. His voice was raspy as he introduced himself. "I have long heard of the Storm King, renowned as the youngest starship designer in the Starsea Human Federation. I am Zhul, Grand Elder of the Lizard Drake Clan, here to greet His Majesty."

The towering Lizard Drake bowed respectfully. Feng Mo accepted the gesture without reaction. Through the memories of the enslaved space beast, he had learned about the Lizard Drake Clan, which had lost members to the New Humanity Church for experimentation. Despite this, he felt a pang of disgust and even a hint of killing intent, which he quickly suppressed.

"No need for formalities," Feng Mo replied calmly. "I hope you have something worthwhile to say, Elder. I don't have time for trivial matters."

The elder's round eyes glanced at Feng Mo's aides—Feng Tianyi, Ai Er, and Han Peipei—and responded cautiously. "The Lizard Drake Chief specifically instructed me to speak to you alone, Storm King."

Feng Mo gestured dismissively. "They're my trusted confidants. Speak freely."

"Understood, Storm King." Zhul continued, "A month ago, the Divine Clan approached my people with an offer we could not refuse. They urged us to lead a fleet against the Storm Kingdom within a month, promising to send a T5 fleet to help us seize the entire Storm Kingdom."

As Zhul spoke, he scrutinized Feng Mo's face for any sign of reaction. But Feng Mo's expression remained unreadable. In fact, Feng Mo was far too composed, his gaze turning icy as he asked, "So, what has the Lizard Drake Clan decided? Will you heed the Divine Clan's request and declare war, or will you join forces with me to counter their threat?"

"No, no, that's not it," Zhul stammered. "The chief wishes to remain neutral, neither aiding nor opposing the Divine Clan. However, the chief has heard of your fame as a brilliant designer and hopes you might assist us by designing a T5 starship."

Feng Mo instantly understood—this clan intended to profit from both sides, eating at the expense of both the Divine Clan and the Storm Kingdom. He smirked, recognizing that the elder had come solely to waste his time.

"The Storm Kingdom fears no challenge nor any threat," Feng Mo replied coldly. "So, you have two choices: either declare war or swear allegiance. Trying to play both sides will only bring you disaster."

To emphasize his displeasure, Feng Mo turned to Feng Tianyi and ordered, "Take the Grand Elder here into custody. Don't kill him just yet—being a Level 4 genetic warrior, he'll make excellent food for the Life Sustaining Tree."

The elder's fate was thus sealed. Feng Mo had used military points to obtain a regular T4 genetic serum formula after the first harvest of the Life Sustaining Fruit. Both Feng Tianyi and Ai Er had taken the serum, advancing to Level 4 genetic warriors, easily matching Zhul's strength.

Following Feng Mo's command, Feng Tianyi called in several soldiers equipped with laser guns, who surrounded the elder. Instead of resisting, Zhul dropped to his knees, hands raised, surrendering with surprising readiness.

This swift response underscored the power dynamics of the moment, as Feng Mo's influence continued to grow across the galaxy.
