Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 271 - 271 271 Mortgage Part 1

271: Chapter 271: Mortgage (Part 1) 271: Chapter 271: Mortgage (Part 1) “Long live Sister Xue!”

The crowd erupted in excited cheers.

However, their cheers were not because of the promise Qian Chengxue had made, but because the group finally had a way forward.

Even if it was a road of no return, they were willing to take the risk.

Perhaps this was the sense of belonging that came with being part of a group.

Immediately, everyone began to tally up the amount of investment.

Since the attack plan needed to remain confidential, and their resources and risk tolerance were limited, the fundraising was confined only to the executives in the meeting room.

“200W”

Sun Li (Deputy Legion Commander) led by writing down the amount of his investment.

“200W”

Tang Yao (Deputy Legion Commander) echoed as well.

“50W”

Chen Meng (Group Leader of Team Three) followed suit.

“40W”

….

This was essentially all of their savings.

If they lost this bet, although they wouldn’t end up homeless, they would be ruined.

Su Mo touched his pocket and felt embarrassed; he seemed to be broke!

The only remaining check he had, he had given to Lin Zinuo.

Of course, Su Mo could also choose to use the money in his card, although doing so might earn him a lot.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that this amount of money was meaningless to him.

Moreover, it might even trivialize the upcoming crisis, eliminating any challenge.

After all, life should have its challenges and pursuits, so he decided to abandon this idea.

The list quickly made its way to Su Mo.

Sitting beside him, Zhao Han whispered to Su Mo, “Do what you can.”

She knew Su Mo didn’t have much money.

Su Mo wrote down the amount of five hundred on the form.

Honestly, his face was a bit red when he wrote the number; he really didn’t have much money on him.

Seeing the amount, Zhao Han’s lips twitched involuntarily.

When she took the form, she picked up the pen and added a zero.

“I’ll cover it for you, it’ll be deducted from your salary this month.

Remember to start saving money, okay?”

No matter what, Su Mo was now their Team Twelve’s star figure; he couldn’t look too shabby.

“Thanks.”

Su Mo responded with gratitude.

The form was quickly filled out and passed to Qian Chengxue.

There were about fifty executives in total in the meeting room, and the total funds raised were roughly around 2000W.

Looking at this amount, Qian Chengxue fell into deep thought; it was clear that it was far from enough.

As the saying goes, war is the ultimate money shredder.

Qian Chengxue had estimated that according to the planned strategy, she needed to purchase over three hundred million in anti-aircraft weaponry.

After all, they were up against the Wet God Guild, and possibly even the Freedom Victory Guild might get involved, necessitating purchases at the highest standard.

But the cash she currently had was only about 120 million, which was originally intended for payroll.

Qian Chengxue couldn’t help but fall silent, and seeing this, Sun Li asked with concern, “Sister Xue, is it not enough?”

Upon hearing this, and seeing Qian Chengxue’s slightly furrowed brow, Su Mo pretty much guessed that the money was definitely not enough.

He wavered, subconsciously wanting to offer some money.

But as the words reached his lips, he stopped; how would he explain it now?

As Su Mo hesitated, Qian Chengxue seemed to make up her mind.

She looked up at everyone and said, “It’s okay, I’ll handle the rest of the money.

Everyone, go get some rest now and get in your best state.”

“Yes!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qian Chengxue stood up, left the meeting room, and had already made a decision in her heart, determined to go for broke.

Therefore, she prepared to stake all her properties, stocks, and other valuable possessions.

If they won, it would be a cause for celebration, but if they lost, they would have to sell all their assets within Star Ring and exit the game.

It wasn’t that Qian Chengxue liked to take risks, but the situation was changing so rapidly that it wouldn’t allow her time to develop slowly.

A moment later, Su Mo, after storing his mecha, logged out of the game and opened his eyes in the server room.

Su Mo took off his helmet and exhaled deeply.

He then took out his phone from his pocket to check it, and upon seeing a message from Sun Duoxiang, he opened it and pondered for a moment.

It seemed they were in luck; the Freedom Victory Guild and the Wet God Guild focused their attacks on the Martial God Guild and not on them, otherwise things would definitely have been more difficult for Qian Chengxue’s side.

Su Mo stretched lazily, loosened up his muscles a bit, then got off the space chair and walked out of the server room, planning to go home for some rest.

But he ran into Zhao Han just as he was leaving.

“Su Mo, where are you going?”

“Going home to rest.

Is there something you need?”

Su Mo asked with a puzzled look on his face.

“Don’t go out yet.

Right now, there are tons of reporters gathered outside of the Dawn Group.

They’ve completely blocked all the exits,”

“What happened?”

Su Mo was slightly stunned.

“What else could it be?

It has been leaked that our legion owns a Generation III mecha, and especially you, you have now become a celebrity at the center of a storm,”

Zhao Han explained, rubbing her forehead.

Honestly, her mind was also a mess, and no one had expected things to explode this rapidly.

“So how do I get home?

“What home?

Stay in the company for now.

Otherwise, even if you manage to squeeze out, you’ll be incessantly harassed.

I’m telling you, even Sister Xue, when she left just now, had to use a private helicopter,”

Zhao Han said helplessly, patting Su Mo’s shoulder.

“Alright then.”

Su Mo could only accept the reality.

Temporarily staying in the company was not a bad choice, and he wouldn’t miss any actions.

…

Elsewhere, Qian Chengxue took a private helicopter to the Imperial Federation Bank, accompanied by Sun Li.

On the helicopter, Qian Chengxue picked up a red box.

She slowly opened it, which contained a lavish black gemstone necklace.

She gently stroked the surface of the gemstone, tears shimmering in her eyes.

This necklace was a parting gift from her mother and also an engagement token her father had given her before her marriage into the Ye family.

The necklace still sparkled, but the people were no longer the same.

She had accidentally overheard a conversation between her father and grandfather, learning that Star Ring was about to begin, and the winner who obtained the Heavenly Cup would have a wish granted by God.

Although she knew winning was unlikely, she was not ready to give up just yet.

In the cabin, Sun Li looked at the red box and the file bag of assets in Qian Chengxue’s hand, speaking with a complex expression, “Sister Xue, has it really come to a point where we have to do this?

Why not apply for funds from the group?”

“Since we originally refused an honorable exit and chose to rely on ourselves, no matter how difficult this path is, we must continue,”

Qian Chengxue’s expression was gentle yet steady.

“Okay then,”

Sun Li was still very nervous.

“By the way, how’s the task I had you do coming along?”
