Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 374 - 374 374 Network Manager

374: Chapter 374: Network Manager 374: Chapter 374: Network Manager But at this time, Su Mo unexpectedly received some combat videos from the Martial God Guild.

The most conspicuous among them was Sun Duoxiang, the backbone of the Martial God Guild.

Su Mo was interested too, so he clicked on Sun Duoxiang’s combat video and saw him piloting a second-generation mecha, Tear Claw, slashing his way through the monster horde.

His skills were quite good, and for some reason, Su Mo felt that Sun Duoxiang’s operating style was very familiar, very much like his own.

He was a bit surprised, when had this guy’s skills become so good, he must have put in a lot of work.

He scrolled through the comments below the post, which totaled over a million, and they were overwhelmingly positive.

It looked like Sun Duoxiang was genuinely making a name for himself!

His popularity was also on the rise.

Su Mo felt quite happy for Sun Duoxiang, he didn’t expect him to be able to stand on his own so quickly.

It seemed his talent and aptitude really were there, they must have been buried before.

But that was also normal, the Star Ring Game was never short of talented players, what was lacking was just a stage for them to shine on.

To put it bluntly, out of the players who die every day, if you just randomly picked one, you could find those with talent; the problem was they died without ever getting a chance to show their skills.

“Cybercafe manager, start up a computer.”

A very young voice rang out.

Su Mo looked up and saw a young fellow with a very distinctive style, his hair dyed in all the colors of the rainbow.

The youngster was bragging to his companions.

“Let me tell you guys, I’m now serving as combat personnel on a warship, and our ship has sailed to the Baltic Sea.”

“That’s so badass…”

His companions looked at him with envy.

Su Mo found their conversation interesting and said,

“Computer B34.”

“Cybercafe manager, throw in a pack of loose cigarettes too.”

“Are you 18 yet?”

“Of course, I just turned 18 this year.”

“Well, I’m sorry, but no smoking is allowed in the hall, only in private rooms.”

Su Mo replied naturally.

“Come on, just a few smokes.

Bro, you must play Star Ring too, right?

I’ll cover for you sometime.”

The young man spoke with brimming confidence.

Su Mo found it amusing and smiled as he replied,

“Really can’t do it, unless it’s a private room, otherwise it impacts others.”

His several friends, who had followed him, were a little displeased and began to say, “Are you looking down on our big brother?

Our big brother is really badass, what’s just a private room?”

“How about this, I’ll give you guys a discount, half off!”

Su Mo said accommodatingly, as most of those who came here to surf the net were young people from the neighborhood.

“Alright, thanks, brother.”

The expressions of these youths immediately improved a lot, since they were actually very sheepish, not normally being able to afford a private room, but they had already boasted.

At this moment, Uncle Li walked over since he saw so many people gathered around the bar and came to see what was going on.

“What’s up, Su Mo?”

“Nothing much.”

Su Mo responded with a smile.

The several youths saw Uncle Li, and like sheep seeing a tiger, they quickly greeted him,

“Uncle Li.”

“Aren’t you Zhang Yuan’s group, those few troublemakers, here to surf the net?”

“Yes, yes.”

“I usually let it slide when you guys are a bit careless, but this time, you need to pay attention and be polite, as he is Su Mo.”

Uncle Li introduced them.

Upon hearing Uncle Li’s words, these youths suddenly realized who they were dealing with and stuttered.

“You, you’re the famous landlord!

No wonder you looked familiar.”

Although they hadn’t seen Su Mo much, his name was well-known to them.

After all, Su Mo rarely showed his face, and even when collecting rent, it was always done through their elders, just once a year, so it was understandable that the kids didn’t recognize him.

“Cough cough, don’t call me that, I’m just a network manager now.”

Su Mo said with a smile.

Some waiters nearby found it quite amusing and could barely contain their laughter.

In fact, they had a hard time keeping it in, as these kids had just been talking about backing Su Mo up.

“The Su Mo bro, I was just kidding earlier.

I can’t back you up.

Let’s play together when there’s a chance.”

“I’m afraid that won’t be possible, I’ve already been killed in action.”

“Ah!

Even someone as awesome as Su Mo bro has been killed in action.”

“The Star Ring is ruthless, nothing to be surprised about.

Alright, if there’s nothing else, go on and get to your room, no.

65.”

Su Mo chuckled and responded.

“Thank you….”

The youths quickly left.

Watching the scene, Uncle Li laughed and said to Su Mo, “Kids are naive, don’t mind them.”

“Why would I mind?

This is quite nice.

Uncle Li, you don’t have to stay here, go on with your work.

I’ll call you if I need anything.”

Su Mo felt very comfortable, with something to do, keeping boredom at bay.

“Sure.”

Uncle Li also couldn’t help but sigh.

Su Mo had changed quite a bit after his trip, which was a surprise to him.

Su Mo looked down and continued to monitor the frontier developments in the Star Ring.

According to the latest intelligence, the ship that had traveled the farthest belonged to the Independent Travelers, the Pioneer Ship Brave.

This ship had already voyaged into the Chaotic Sea Area.

Based on the videos they uploaded, the sea water was incredibly dark here, and the climate was extremely harsh.

The waves stirred up by the storm were ferocious, the Brave bobbing unpredictably like a tiny boat, always at risk of being swallowed by the waves.

But fortunately, the Brave was not an ordinary ship.

Though it was small, it was specially designed to function in dual modes.

It was a semi-submersible vessel, with a deck that could be sealed off, transforming into a submarine.

This was one of the key reasons it could travel so far, while other ships that had set sail at the same time had all ended up at the bottom of the sea.

At that moment, a man standing on the deck, braving the strong wind, was explaining to everyone.

“If you’re navigating through this Chaotic Sea Area, you must be extremely vigilant.

Keep an eye on both the deep sea and the skies above.

You absolutely must not go into stealth mode.

There are countless fierce monsters dwelling in the sea, which is also the reason I haven’t put the Brave into Stealth Mode despite the violent waves.

Just yesterday, our sonar system detected a colossal monster, its size comparable to a small island….”

“Also, those thick clouds overhead, steer clear of them.

They could produce lightning at any moment, and you might just get struck….”

“Moreover, when you rest at night, make sure to seal off all cabin doors.

Sometimes, all sorts of small parasitic monsters climb aboard out of nowhere, and it’s an absolute nightmare.”

…..

This made Su Mo reflect on his own experiences of being forced to go to sea with Lin Zi and the others.

If he hadn’t died, maybe he’d be out on the sea fighting alongside them too.

Su Mo continued to search for information on the movements of the Joint Forces.

The Sky Dragon Guild and the Freedom Victory Joint Forces had also set sail, reportedly moving past the Skyline Canal and into the Mili Sea Area.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly,

but their progress was slow, probably in the interest of safety.

And the sea, like a domain of unknown fierce beasts, held the potential for the complete obliteration of all forces.
