Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 363 - 363 363 Phone Call

363: Chapter 363 Phone Call 363: Chapter 363 Phone Call “Dying isn’t that big of a deal, is it?

From the start, not many people could survive the Earth Cup; it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later.

Besides, it’s not like you’re really dead, it’s just that you can’t access Star Ring Game anymore, at most you’d be transferred to logistics—nothing serious.”

Su Mo spoke with an unusually relaxed tone.

Watching Lin Zinuo hesitate in place, Su Mo reached out and ruffled her hair, saying,

“Okay, stop overthinking it, it’s no big deal.”

“Really?”

Lin Zinuo raised her head to look at Su Mo, asking uncertainly.

Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Who’s comforting whom here?

I’m indeed fine.”

“You’re lying.

If everything was really okay, why wouldn’t you go to work?

Why are you hiding at home?”

“What do you mean hiding at home?

I’ve been gaming overnight continuously and was practically dying from sleep deprivation.

I was just catching up on sleep.

And I was woken up by you before I even had enough rest.”

“Ah, then you should keep sleeping.”

Lin Zinuo’s face went slightly red as she apologized.

“Forget it, I won’t sleep anymore.

Right, how are things with you guys now?”

Su Mo then fully woke up and asked.

“Now it’s still okay, but we’ve suffered heavy casualties.

Out of the twenty thousand people who started the battle, only a few hundred are left alive.

But luckily, we’ve all made it to Praying Dragon City and regrouped with the main force.

Also, there’s some super explosive news.

Sister Xue got her hands on a fourth-generation Biological Mecha.

Sister Xue has become totally famous now and has been invited to join the Sky Dragon Guild.

Now the whole guild is buzzing.

You didn’t miss the group chat, did you?”

Lin Zinuo grew more and more excited as she spoke.

“Please, I was sleeping.

By the way, what’s the situation at Praying Dragon City now?”

Su Mo continued to inquire, not finding it surprising that Qian Chengxue was being put to important use.

Part of the credit for taking down Praying Dragon City definitely fell squarely on Qian Chengxue.

However, Su Mo was indeed curious about what kind of opportunity Qian Chengxue had stumbled upon after separating from him to get her hands on a complete fourth-generation Biological Mecha.

Of course, none of that really mattered anymore.

“Two-thirds of Praying Dragon City has collapsed.

They’re currently cleaning and exploring it.

Sister Xue is leading a team, trying to see if they can dig you out.

Don’t lose hope; maybe soon they will be able to rescue you.”

“Hmm, got it.

I’ll go freshen up and get ready for work.”

“Huh?

Aren’t you going to rest a bit more?”

“Rest what?

If we wait longer, everyone else will misunderstand just like you did and think something’s wrong with me.”

“Then let me treat you to a meal, and I’ll take you to work after that.”

“That works.”

Su Mo didn’t refuse since he was really hungry.

“Come on, hurry and change.”

Lin Zinuo urged excitedly, completely free of the heavy-heartedness she had at the beginning.

“Okay.”

…

Shortly after, Lin Zinuo took Su Mo to the entrance of a gigantic mall building near Dawn Group.

“Coming to such a fancy place?”

Su Mo was a bit surprised.

“You got killed in battle, so I have to comfort you somehow, don’t I?

I’m treating you to a good meal.”

“Are you sure?

A meal at this place could eat up half a month of your salary.”

Su Mo replied with a smile.

“Psh, eat all you want.

If I frown even once, I’ll take your surname.”

“You said it.”

Su Mo answered with a smile.

“I did, and I guarantee you’ll get full before I run out of money to pay.”

“Quite confident.

In that case, let’s go inside.”

“Let’s go!”

Minutes later, Lin Zinuo led Su Mo into a buffet restaurant, and with pride she said to him,

“Eat up, dig in.”

Su Mo looked at Lin Zinuo helplessly.

“I see how it is, you’re so generous all of a sudden because you had this prepared.”

“Of course.

But no jokes now.

The buffet here is quite good, especially the desserts—they’re top-notch.”

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

…

At the dinner table, Lin Zinuo considerately brought Su Mo a variety of delicious dishes.

“Try this.”

“That’s enough, I can’t eat that much.”

“You can’t eat, you can eat slowly, ah!

Haven’t you heard the saying, ‘Good food can heal a wounded soul’?”

Lin Zinuo smiled and stuffed a peeled shrimp into Su Mo’s mouth….

A man dining at the next table watched this scene with undisguised envy on his face, wondering where one could find such a pretty and thoughtful girl these days.

He had been watching for quite some time, and the entire time it was the girl serving dishes; the most outrageous part was that she even peeled shrimp and fed him, prompting him to speak out impulsively.

“It’s really infuriating to compare oneself to others.

To have such a nice girl and just sit there like a log, acting picky about this and that.”

His girlfriend, sitting across from him, in a fit of anger, threw water in his face and left her seat while complaining furiously.

“Hmph, what are you looking at, losing your soul over it.

Take a look at yourself before you envy him.

He’s so handsome, of course, he deserves that kind of treatment.

You should be grateful I even give you the time of day.

Eat by yourself; I’m not keeping you company anymore.”

“Lili, wait for me…”

…

The surrounding diners watched this scene and then turned their gaze to Su Mo and Lin Zinuo, who both felt somewhat awkward.

“I can do it myself.”

Su Mo coughed and said.

“Mm.”

Lin Zinuo also realized it and her cheeks turned slightly red.

The two of them quietly ate, unsure of what to say for a while.

After eating for a bit, Lin Zinuo coughed and broke the silence, “I’m going to get some ice cream; I’ll get one for you too.”

“I’ll get it myself.”

“No need to bother, just wait here.”

Saying so, Lin Zinuo stood up and left.

Su Mo sat quietly at the table, waiting.

Eventually, Lin Zinuo didn’t come back, and the occasional odd looks from around made Su Mo feel quite uncomfortable.

So, he got up and headed towards the dessert area.

The dessert area had hundreds of different kinds of desserts, dizzying to behold and indeed quite nice.

Therefore, it attracted quite a few girls to come over and take their picks.

Su Mo searched for Lin Zinuo in the crowd, but after making a full circle, he still didn’t see her.

He was also a bit puzzled about where she had run off to, so he walked around the buffet.

In the corner, he saw a familiar figure.

Lin Zinuo was with her back to Su Mo, on the phone, seemingly struggling in conversation.

“Dad, please don’t meddle in my affairs, I’m not a child anymore.”

“Zinuo, it’s not that Dad wants to interfere, but it’s just not suitable.

I have always respected your opinions, but Su Mo really isn’t right for you.

The two of you are just not the same kind of people; you won’t have anything in common.

Of course, I’m not saying his character is bad, only that in every aspect, the two of you are not a match.

I’ve been through this myself, so please just take my advice.”

“It’s not like what you think, just leave this matter alone.”

“I’m your father, how can I not be concerned?”

“Dad!”

“Besides, how long have you known him?

How much do you really understand each other?

Don’t end up being deceived.

I’m considering your happiness in the long run, please just listen to me and end things quickly.”

“Dad, don’t say anymore.”

Lin Zinuo replied, clearly very annoyed.

“What do you even see in him, don’t tell me it’s because he plays Star Ring Game well?”

“Why I fancy him is my own business, and you don’t need to ask.”

“Are you bewitched, are you insane?

He seems pretty decent now, but think about it.

He’s a guy who didn’t even finish elementary school, his parents are gone, and he has no proper job, just stays at home playing games all day.

No offense, but isn’t he just a scoundrel?

How can you, a high achiever, think like this?”

“You have no right to say that, you don’t know anything, you don’t understand.”

Lin Zinuo shouted back, losing control of her emotions.

At that moment, she inadvertently saw Su Mo standing behind her and immediately hung up the phone in a flurry.

“Su Mo, what are you doing here?”
