Chapter 699: Chapter 562: News (Extra for Silver Alliance Leader Arain) (Part 3)

“Seriously, I really do feel sorry for you. You, a talent like yours, not joining the GT department, knowing that back in the Star Ring World, if you had continued skirting the edges of the Gold Mine, I wouldn’t have dared go down there even with ten times the courage.”

Mo Baoke said while sipping his drink.

“Why mention all that?”

Xiao Wen said with a bitter smile.

At this, Chen Shan casually said, “Cut it out, Mo Baoke. We didn’t get into the GT department because you took all the spots, and here you are talking about it.”

“You’re right about that, it really was taken by us. But that’s not someone else’s fault. You guys are just too honest and not willing to network. Times have changed; you can’t always stick to the old ways of thinking. This is the Federation now. The Federation is run by a multitude of voices. Even if Long Ming becomes the Council President, he can’t look after everyone. Sometimes, when you need to bow down to others, you should.”

“Enough already, we can’t learn that, not all of us have blended in as well as you have.”

Chen Shan replied helplessly, knowing that Mo Baoke was making some valid points.

“Blended in my ass, I barely squeezed into the GT department. But I’m at the very bottom of the reserve team, never landing any good opportunities. It infuriates me just to talk about it.”

Mo Baoke said angrily.

“What opportunities?”

Su Mo looked at Mo Baoke, baffled.

Seeing that Su Mo was asking him, Mo Baoke mysteriously said, “You know what, a huge opportunity has just come up recently.”

“What’s the opportunity?”

Sun Duoxiang and the others perked up with interest.

Qian Chengxue was also a bit curious.

“The Black Brilliance is about to embark on a special exploration mission. It’s a real treat! The region they’re aiming to explore is incredibly rich in resources. Just a bit of good fortune from it, and you could get rich instantly.”

Mo Baoke said mysteriously.

Hearing this, Su Mo was slightly taken aback, showing an odd expression. Wasn’t this what he was about to discuss?

Actually, Su Mo had brought everyone together for the very purpose of inviting them to join.

As for Mo Baoke, Su Mo really couldn’t do anything about him; he was just too obsequious.

If he didn’t include him, it would really be unfair to him for trying so hard.

However, Su Mo didn’t point any of this out and continued to observe, curious about what was happening.

“Really?”

Sun Duoxiang asked excitedly.

Chen Shan sounded a bit skeptical, “You’re probably boasting. If it was such a great opportunity, it would have been well-known by now.”

“Why would I lie to you? This mission is actually being led by the GT department. Right now, the tycoons from zones M, O, and E are vying for a spot in the mission’s team, nearly going crazy over it! And most importantly, this might be the last chance to scoop up resources. I heard that if the exploration unearths sufficient resources, the Black Brilliance might head back home earlier than planned.”

Mo Baoke said somewhat desperately.

At this, Xiao Wen pondered for a moment, then said, “There’s some truth to that.”

“I told you it was true.”

Mo Baoke said excitedly.

“So how do I get in on this?”

Sun Duo asked, eyes gleaming, his buzz clearing significantly.

“Hey, don’t even dream about it. I don’t even have a spot,”

Mo Baoke said with a sigh.

“Didn’t you say it was led by the GT department? Aren’t you part of the GT department?”

Sun Duoxiang asked, confused.

“True, but they only want the best of the best for this mission. They are choosing from top-ranked teams. For that, I even approached higher-ups, but I only got a cold shoulder.”

Mo Baoke said helplessly.

“If you really want to go that badly, I could take you,”

Su Mo said to Mo Baoke all of a sudden.

Mo Baoke, who was also quite drunk by then, turned to Su Mo and said, “Lord Su Mo, no disrespect, but do you know who’s leading this mission? It’s Shiris and those real big shots. Each of them has a status so high that a single stomp of their feet would shake the Military Department three times over. Think about it, only what they say counts. We little guys can’t sway things, though of course, Lord Su Mo, you yourself would have no trouble.”

Hearing Mo Baoke’s words, Chen Shan and the others also sucked in a breath of cold air.

“To think the review is so strict, it even requires people of Shiris and Wang Hai’s caliber to nod.”

“So you see, it really is a cushy job. Told you I wasn’t bragging.”

Mo Baoke patted his chest as he spoke.

Qian Chengxue was also very surprised; she hadn’t received any notification yet, but it had already spread outside.

“Can’t we think of a way?”

Chen Shan was somewhat tempted.

“Old Chen, don’t think about it. There’s no hope. I’ve already asked, our three legions have special orders to stay and defend. The defense orders will come down soon.”

Xiao Wen directly shattered Chen Shan’s illusion.

“Damn, I said it, good things never come our way.”

Chen Shan couldn’t help but complain.

Laughing, Su Mo said, “It’s not such a big deal. If you guys want to go, I’ll take you all.”

“Boss, don’t brag about this. We know you’re just consoling us.”

Sun Duoxiang said with a smile.

“This is no small matter, Su Mo. If it requires someone of Wang Hai’s caliber to give the nod, then it means the review is very strict, practically already decided.”

Qian Chengxue also knew a little about the inside story.

“I’m not joking with you guys, really, what I say counts.”

Su Mo was somewhat speechless; he laid it all out, and now it was their turn not to believe him.

“Boss, drink.”

Sun Duoxiang worried that Su Mo, having drunk too much, might make grand promises he couldn’t fulfill, which would be embarrassing later.

“Right, let’s drink and not talk about this.”

Chen Shan also very cooperatively raised his glass.

“No, I’m serious.”

Su Mo was helpless, he quickly explained.

“I’m drinking first, Su Mo, you have to drink too.”

Chen Shan directly chose to ignore Su Mo’s words and changed the subject.

“Boss, drink.”

Sun Duoxiang also raised his glass and joined in.

Su Mo could only laugh and start drinking with them.

One cup, two cups, three cups went down.

The eyes of everyone present were somewhat drifting.

Just then, a series of forceful footsteps came, followed by the half-closed door being pushed open, and a burly man wearing mechanical armor walked in.

“Sorry for being late.”

Sun Duoxiang turned his head toward the burly man and said cheerfully.

“Who is this brother? He’s so burly!”

Chen Shan turned his head to look, shook his head, and asked in confusion, “Never seen him before, brother, what group are you with?”

Xiao Wen’s gaze was a bit scattered as he glanced over, and the next second, his body jolted into alert and he abruptly stood up, spilling his cup.

“General Zhao Wushuang!”

Hearing Xiao Wen’s words, Sun Duoxiang and the others were thrown into disarray, almost tripping over themselves.

“A General?”

Mo Baoke also hurriedly wiped his eyes and looked toward the newcomer, wondering, How could a General Level person be here?
