Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 373 - 373 373 Evacuation

373: Chapter 373: Evacuation 373: Chapter 373: Evacuation Su Mo didn’t bother with Bickering.

He straightforwardly told Lei Jiang, “It’s not that I don’t support the planning and decisions of higher-ups.

But whatever we do, we must handle it properly.

There are so many tenants here, we must provide a satisfactory solution.

I don’t care how much compensation can be paid; what I care about is how all my tenants are properly relocated.

An interstellar airport can’t be built overnight, it definitely takes a process, so go back and think it over, and give me a satisfactory plan.”

In Su Mo’s view, no matter how much money he was given, it was all just a heap of useless paper and data.

He had grown fond of the tenants here, more or less.

He couldn’t bear to watch them be driven out, homeless and displaced.

Some people might not understand, but if you change your perspective, maybe you would.

“Mr.

Su Mo, this…”

Lei Jiang’s expression was as though he had eaten dung, properly relocating so many people was a killing demand for him.

“Don’t talk to me about other matters, let’s let bygones be bygones.

Pay what needs to be compensated, apologize where apologies are due.

But if you mess around before providing a reasonable plan, don’t blame me for suing you directly.

By then, don’t say you weren’t forewarned about the lawsuit, and don’t even think about demolishing this place.”

Su Mo stood with his hands folded, his tone was calm but exceptionally firm.

Lei Jiang replied bitterly, “Mr.

Su Mo, we understand…”

Su Mo turned to the densely packed neighbors behind him and said, “Everyone disperse.

Don’t congregate here anymore.”

“Alright.”

The mass of people responded one after another and then began to disperse.

Zhou Kui looked at Lei Jiang.

“Director Lei, what should we do now?”

“What to do?

Withdraw all operation machines.

Don’t cause any more conflicts before we reach an agreement.”

Lei Jiang said crossly.

“Alright, alright…”

Zhou Huai quickly complied.

A moment later, people from both sides had mostly retreated, and Uncle Zhao also sighed in relief.

He said to Su Mo with slight guilt, “Bringing you back all of a sudden didn’t disrupt anything for you, did it?”

Su Mo shook his head and replied, “It’s fine, I was planning to come back anyway.”

“You’re not returning to Imperial City?”

“Not for now, I will wait until things here are resolved; when I have free time, I’ll go back and see.”

Su Mo looked towards Imperial City and sighed.

At that moment, Uncle Li came over, smiling, and said, “It’s good you’re staying.

While you were away, Su Mo, I expanded the internet cafe as you instructed, and business has been pretty good.

If you find it boring, come over to the internet cafe.

We’ve kept the ‘Game Cabin’ you requested.

Being alone at home gets too solitary, and over time you might feel lonely.

Coming to the internet cafe is better, the atmosphere is lively, and you won’t get bored.”

“Okay!”

Su Mo thought for a moment and agreed.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s agreement, Uncle Li’s face brightened immensely, having not harbored much hope.

He hadn’t expected Su Mo to really be willing to come out.

“Great, I’ll go prepare right away.”

“No need for the hassle, come to think of it, I have shares in Star Game Cafe annabin},”paused, empty-handed for a simple internet administrator position, seems like a fair gesture.”

Su Mo said.

“You aren’t playing games anymore?”

Uncle Li was slightly taken aback.

“My game account met its demise.”

Su Mo explained.

“Look at my memory, Star Ring Game indeed is not like the ordinary games, the mortality rate is too high.

But no worries, watching others play works just as well.”

Uncle Li quickly consoled Su Mo, plainly sensing that Su Mo wasn’t quite the same as before, much more cheery.

“I know.”

……

———————————————————

Days later, Su Mo sat at the bar counter of Kai Yuan Internet Cafe.

The previously old and worn-down cafe had been renovated and now looked brand new.

Rows of boxy helmets settled neatly, and Uncle Li had even deliberately added a moderate-sized holographic projection device in the center during the renovation, inspired by the neighboring Star Game Cafe, broadcasting various Star Ring combat videos and celebrity streamer content in real time.

Although this cafe was much smaller than the one across the street, it won out with its cheaper prices, and therefore, it also attracted an exceptionally lively crowd.

“So cool!”

A burst of excited cheers erupted.

Su Mo instinctively looked up at the central projection screen.

At that moment, it was showing a battle video of Li Dongen from the Noble Grace Association’s professional team, piloting a Generation II Cheetah Mecha.

His control was smooth as flowing water.

The Cheetah Mecha navigated through a group of alien Monsters, its Alloy Blade in hand like a harvester, reaping the lives of any Monsters it encountered,

Blood splattered everywhere.

On the edge of the projection screen, there was information and a brief resume about Li Dongen.

Li Dongen, captain of the Noble Grace Association’s number one ace mecha squadron.

Claim to fame: In the Yellowstone Base siege, he alone slew seven Gen II elite-level Monsters and one Gen III General-level Alien, laying the foundation for Noble Grace Association’s victory at Yellowstone Base, earning the nickname “Harvester.”

Shortly after, the central image changed once again.

A sexy, curvaceous woman appeared, piloting a Generation III Mecha, the Gale Mecha.

She dove straight from the sky into a sea-like surge of Monsters.

Her sharp scythe swept across, slicing groups of Alien Monsters in half like tofu.

Dark dense patches on the battlefield were instantly cleared, creating large vacuumed areas.

……

The onlookers let out an excited shout.

“Casari!!!”

Casari, the second ace squadron captain of the Violent Bear Guild.

Moniker: Blood Reaper.

Rise to fame: In the Black Water Battlefield, she single-handedly slaughtered 162 Mythical Guild’s mechas, then proceeded to Black Water Land, where she alone killed 3 Gen III General-level and 32 Gen III elite Monsters….

….

Su Mo bowed his head and continued browsing the forum website as the Earth Cup began and the Star Ring Game reached a new climax.

At the same time, the Federation Council announced the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance, all internal battles were canceled hence, the surviving Independent Travelers conventionally joined the regular army.

They thereby obtained firsthand information, historic combat achievements of various guilds’ official professional personnel were all revealed.

The former combat leaderboard, once dominated by Independent Traveler experts, was now almost entirely taken over by professional players from the regular army.

After all, compared to the combat skills of professionals, Independent Travelers seemed extremely mediocre.

Take Li Dongen for instance, Noble Grace Association’s ace mech pilot.

While not on par with the ace pilots from Sky Dragon Guild and Freedom Victory Guild, he was still far ahead of top Independent Travelers who couldn’t even catch their breath against him, let alone ordinary celebrity streamers.

This stark contrast instantly sparked a nationwide chase for stars, as countless players found new idols.

Unfortunately, Su Mo had no interest at all, and he continued searching the forum for information on the Dawn Guild.

However, the results of his search made Su Mo frown tightly.

He couldn’t find any related videos or information at all; it seemed that Qian Chengxue and the others, being with the Sky Dragon Guild, had all their information covered up.
