Chapter 1026: Chapter 770: Departure (Bonus for Alliance Leader Zhao Xiaoxiao) (3 Updates)
Sun Duoxiang, upon hearing this, exclaid excitedly: “Alright! Boss, with your word, I’ll follow you through fire and water. I’ve been wanting to leave for a long ti.”
Nearby, Mo Baoke was also full of envy, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the courage to co forward and say he wanted to join as well.
He was very self-aware; despite having many subordinates with decent equipnt, their combat qualities were far too poor.
There was simply no way to compare them to the group of desperados under Sun Duoxiang.
One must know that during the siege of the Imperial Army’s troops, Sun Duoxiang’s group of desperados fought with a combat ability not at all inferior to the regular troops under Xiao Wen, and were even fiercer.
If his own troops were to replace them, even if they outnumbered the enemy, they would have been utterly defeated.
Seeing Mo Baoke’s envious expression, Su Mo turned to him and said: “You don’t need to be envious; develop well on Earth Star, handle logistics, and you’ll definitely benefit.”
Mo Baoke’s nose soured instantly, almost tearing up, dramatically and directly squatting down to hug Su Mo’s leg.
“Boss, I knew you wouldn’t abandon ….”
Tears and snot sared over Su Mo’s leg.
“Hey hey, that’s enough, that’s enough….”
Su Mo’s face turned dark.
…
At dawn, when the sunlight rose.
Su Mo, Sun Duoxiang, Ma Ke, and others were already in the command room of a Level 3 battleship.
Zhang Hao said to Su Mo: “Boss, everyone is here. Mo Baoke also sent a ssage; he’s secured the sailing permit, and we can set off.”
“Let’s go.”
Su Mo did not waste any words.
“Alright!”
Sun Duoxiang personally piloted the ship to take off.
Su Mo gazed at the blue sky and said to the Fake Owner·Swallower: “After leaving Earth Star, help us keep watch. If any powerful monsters approach, we should evade them.”
“Understood.”
The Fake Owner·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
A mont later, the fleet broke through the atmosphere and entered space, gazing from afar at the distant starry sky.
Nurous brilliant fireworks could be seen exploding, and the surrounding space near Earth Star was filled with fierce battles.
The Federation’s near-Earth space defense forces were fully dispatched.
Apart from the official formation fleets, no private fleets could be seen in space.
At this ti, urgent calls for help could occasionally be heard on the public communication channel.
“V23 space defense zone, there are too many monsters, is there any spare fleet nearby? Requesting support!”
“Space defense zone E123, strong space fluctuations detected, seriously suspect a new wormhole is about to form, requesting support.”
…
At this mont, the Fake Owner·Swallower presented a range star map in Su Mo’s mind.
It was marked with dense red and green dots.
The red dots represented wandering Negative Energy monsters, while the green dots represented the Federation’s defense forces.
From an aerial perspective, it looked as if Earth Star was surrounded by a web of red dots.
“What the hell, why are there so many monsters? Where did they co from?”
Although Su Mo ntally prepared himself, he was still taken aback, though fortunately, despite the large number, there were relatively few advanced monsters.
“They erged from large-scale wormholes. Don’t bother with those monsters; follow this route to maximize avoidance of wandering monsters. The closer to Star Ring City, the safer it becos.”
The Fake Owner·Swallower replied while charting the best course to Star Ring City.
“I understand. By the way, with so many monsters surrounding Star Ring City, doesn’t it take any action? Aren’t they afraid of monster attacks?”
Su Mo curiously asked the Fake Owner·Swallower.
“Do you care about the dust swirling in the air?”
“Forget I asked.”
Su Mo then went to the console and, following the Fake Owner·Swallower’s prompts, input the navigation data.
“Boss, what are you doing?”
Sun Duoxiang asked, puzzled, looking at Su Mo.
“Just follow this. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“Got it.”
Sun Duoxiang trusted Su Mo unconditionally.
…
Twelve hours later, Su Mo’s fleet safely reached the edge of Star Ring City without incident.
The one piloting, Sun Duoxiang, couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Phew~ We finally arrived safely.”
His heart had been on edge the entire journey.
Just then, suddenly, everyone’s phones vibrated.
Curious, Su Mo and the others picked them up, only to find they had all received a group ssage from Star Ring City.
“C-level Task·Hunting Season: Dear Heavenly Cup contestants, due to unstable Negative Energy influence, a large number of monsters have arrived through the wormholes. Now is the ti for you brave warriors to showcase your skills. Hunt the monsters wandering near Star Ring City and deliver their corpses to Star Ring City to receive generous rewards and Contribution Value.”
“Boss, a mission! This is the first ti we’ve seen Star Ring City posting a mission. I heard Star Ring City’s missions are extrely hard to co by.”
Sun Duoxiang and the others exclaid in amazent.
“This is clearly a group mission, nothing valuable, just labor work. With these hunting missions, the most you can earn is slightly more than what you spend on consumables, not a great deal. The only benefit is accumulating so Contribution Value.”
Su Mo initially considered praising Star Ring City for its generosity but then realized it was quite perfunctory; they even required monster corpses to be delivered for rewards, and those corpses were valuable themselves.
“Then forget it.”
Hearing Su Mo say this, Sun Duoxiang felt it wasn’t worth it.
“Let’s not talk about it; let’s land quickly.”
“Sure, Boss. Do you want to accompany you for any business?”
“No need, you wait for my news on the ship.”
Su Mo said.
“Okay.”
Though a bit disappointed, Sun Duoxiang didn’t insist.
…
Soon after, Su Mo found himself alone on the bustling comrcial streets of Star Ring City, as lively as ever, as if the Negative Energy turbulence had nothing to do with this place.
At this ti, Su Mo suddenly noticed sothing.
“Xiao Shi, don’t you think sothing feels off?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Since entering Star Ring City, I’ve noticed a significant decrease in negative emotions, as if returning to the state before the Negative Energy outbreak, no need for deliberate suppression,” Su Mo remarked in surprise.
“It’s not surprising. The reason why the Negative Energy pollution on you all becos agitated is due to the influence of the Negative God Star’s fluctuations. Star Ring City can resist this influence, so once inside, you naturally feel the difference. Also, there’s no Negative Energy Virus pollution inside Star Ring City; the air is pure, which is why so many people are desperate to immigrate here.”
The Fake Owner·Swallower responded in a deep voice.
“I see. In other words, if conditions allow, it’s best to stay in Star Ring City.”
Su Mo nodded in understanding.
