Chapter 532 - 532 447 Encounter_3

532: Chapter 447 Encounter_3 532: Chapter 447 Encounter_3 Karina nodded and smiled in response, “Okay, but I have a small favor to ask, can you take me back?”

Su Mo was somewhat surprised as well.

Actually, the reason he ended the dinner early was because he planned to wait outside the restaurant for a while.

“Is it inconvenient?

If so, forget it.”

Karina, seeing that Su Mo hadn’t said anything, replied with a touch of disappointment.

“No, I’ll take you.”

Su Mo replied.

“Thank you.”

Karina’s eyes lit up slightly.

The two of them then stood up and left the restaurant, naturally catching Qian Chengxue’s attention.

There was a moment when she wanted to chase after them, but her rationality ultimately stopped her.

After all, she was there specifically to thank Wang Hai; she couldn’t just abandon the intent mid-way.

So she continued to eat with Wang Hai, trying to be patient.

As time trickled by, Qian Chengxue and Wang Hai also neared the end of their meal.

Wang Hai, looking earnestly at Qian Chengxue sitting opposite him, invited her with seriousness, “Qian Chengxue.”

“Hmm, what is it?”

“If you don’t mind, I was thinking of asking you to watch a movie with me afterward.”

Wang Hai invited her with a hopeful tone.

Actually, he had been paying attention to Qian Chengxue for a while.

After she joined the GT department and became a substitute member, he paid even more attention to her.

Initially, he paid attention to her more from the standpoint of a senior, thinking he would help her out if she needed anything.

But later, when Wang Hai saw how Cheng Xue trained and exercised tirelessly, day and night, her persistent and resolute nature deeply moved him.

Moreover, for rescuing friends, she didn’t hesitate to tarnish her own image, humbling herself to ask for his help.

This character trait made him admire her all the more.

“Thank you for the invitation, but I’m a bit tired.

Let’s talk about it another time.”

Qian Chengxue tactfully declined.

“Alright then, I’ll take you back,” Wang Hai said, also sounding a little disappointed.

“No need to go to so much trouble, I can go back on my own.”

Qian Chengxue declined once more.

Wang Hai could see that Qian Chengxue wasn’t in a great state that day, so he didn’t say anything more.

Afterward, the two of them left the restaurant, and at the entrance, Wang Hai said goodbye to Qian Chengxue before leaving.

Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Qian Chengxue watched Wang Hai leave, then looked around with a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment often is.

“Ah~”

Qian Chengxue looked around but never saw Su Mo’s figure.

The bit of hope that had flared up in her heart was extinguished once again.

It seemed she had been overthinking things.

This scene was all too familiar, and she felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart.

Finally, Qian Chengxue left in desolation.

Not long after Qian Chengxue had left, Su Mo ran back hurriedly.

After dropping off Karina, he originally planned to return to his dorm to rest, but he felt uneasy and eventually ran back.

However, as Su Mo entered the Tide Music Restaurant and looked around, he couldn’t find Qian Chengxue anywhere.

Su Mo let out a heavy sigh, filled with disappointment.

….

——————————————————-

G12 District · Mecha Training Area.

Su Mo piloted the Iron Guard Mecha and sped into the training field, swiftly maneuvering the mecha’s body to dodge various obstacles.

He pushed the Iron Guard’s speed to the limit.

Inside the cockpit, Su Mo’s eyes were glued to the screen, his hands ceaselessly in motion.

Warning alerts in red pop-up boxes kept flashing on the operating screen.

“Warning, engine overload!”

…

But Su Mo acted as if he saw nothing, not once showing intent to decrease the speed, and fiercely controlled the mecha to pull out the Alloy Blade, swiftly cutting through the targets as he went by.

The electronic evaluation device popped up a score of 7211.

This score might be good for Second Generation Mechas but was outrageously high for a First Generation Mecha.

Those around who were also training, upon witnessing this scene, let out exclamations of surprise.

“Who is piloting that mecha, getting such a high score?”

“I haven’t seen him before; could it be some officer came here for training?”

“It’s unlikely, even officers can’t achieve such high scores.

You know that’s the Iron Guard Mecha; we usually score around 4000, and this is nearly double that.

It’s incredibly outrageous.

The Second Generation Mechas might only have scores around this level.”

“Yeah, right.”

“Let me tell you, that guy isn’t just strong in his abilities, his endurance is top-notch, too.

He’s been circling around the various training sections for what must be ten rounds now, without stopping, absolutely ferocious.

I’m starting to doubt if that Iron Guard can even hold up.

And quit guessing; he’s not some officer.

He’s from the 86th Reserve Team.

You didn’t notice the members of the Reserve Team cheering him on?”

“So powerful.

Whoever his superior is must be under tremendous pressure.”

“You’re just realizing it now?

Let me tell you, the kicker is, that guy’s superior is Mo Baoke.”

“Damn, that idiot!”

“Keep it down; that guy is watching us from over there.

Didn’t you see his face is looking pretty grim?”

…

Just then, from a viewing platform not too far away, Mo Baoke watched Su Mo’s scoring performance, his face stretched long like a donkey’s.

He cursed Su Mo inwardly.

So what if you have skills?

Is there a need to show off like this?

You’re clearly trying to embarrass me; just you wait…

At that moment, Su Mo piloted the Iron Guard Mecha to a skidding sideways stop.

He took a deep breath and felt the gloom in his heart lighten significantly.

In truth, Su Mo felt regretful; he had the chance to see Qian Chengxue the previous night, yet he only greeted her and didn’t really talk.
