"You haven’t gone back? I’ve been waiting for materials. It was only a couple of days ago that I got them, so I imdiately prepared to return."
"Materials? Could it be the materials for my wing?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up as he asked.
"Yes, once I’m back, I can start working on it. It won’t take long before I can deliver it to you."
Euler said to Su Mo in a relaxed manner.
"Thank you so much."
"No need to thank , I should be the one apologizing for holding you up for so long."
"It’s alright."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"Mr. Su Mo, I have sothing to attend to first, let’s catch up later if there’s an opportunity."
Euler then said to Su Mo.
"Alright."
Su Mo nodded and then continued to follow Li Zi to his room.
It wasn’t long before Su Mo entered his private room. He closed the door, lay directly on the bed, and sighed.
"Finally, I can relax a bit!"
At this mont, an announcent began to play.
"Dear passengers, the Windlicker is about to set sail, wishing you all a pleasant journey..."
Lying on the bed, Su Mo could feel a slight vibration, indicating that the ship was likely setting off without incident. Thinking about going ho,
Su Mo couldn’t help but feel deeply emotional.
"I’ve been away for so long on this trip, it’s finally ti to go back. I can get so good rest along the way, no need to stay on edge."
"Yes, normally there shouldn’t be any issues. When I boarded, I took a quick look and noticed that the people on this ship were all either wealthy or noble. There were also plenty of officers from Star Ring City aboard, each strong in their own right."
The Creator Swallower replied in a low tone.
"I see."
...
Seven days later.
Su Mo, wearing a pair of shorts, lay leisurely on a lounge chair on the artificial beach, enjoying the artificial sea breeze and sun.
On a nearby table was a refreshing drink and an array of sumptuous fruits.
From ti to ti, Su Mo would take a sip of his drink, relishing the coolness and ease of it all.
He silently spoke to the Creator Swallower, "I’ve never been this relaxed before; this feeling of lying flat is truly delightful."
"The precondition is that you need the ans to lie flat. I bet you haven’t been to see the lower decks where the seats are accounted for, and you have to sit for nearly a month."
"Uh..."
Su Mo felt sowhat embarrassed.
Just then, a holographic image suddenly appeared before everyone.
A woman with long pink hair, wearing a simple blue dress, with a fair face and eyes as clear as water, exuding an elegant and refined temperant, appeared before everyone and gave a deep bow.
"Sorry to disturb you all. Allow to introduce myself; I am Miraya Alik. Many of you may not know , and I apologize for taking up a few minutes of your ti. I apologize in advance!"
"It’s Miraya!"
"It’s really Miraya!"
...
Instantly, many people around began to buzz with discussion.
Su Mo was quite surprised, as he actually knew this woman nad Miraya.
She is one of the top singers on the Star Ring Forum, loved by people from various nations.
She has an exceptionally massive following.
Of course, Su Mo personally isn’t very interested in this sort of thing, but practically anyone who browses the Star Ring Forum has at least heard of her.
"As you all may know, with the advancent of tis and technology, the gap between social classes has been widening, and those at the bottom find it increasingly difficult to make ends et, struggling on the basic line of survival. Regardless, they are our companions, and we cannot just watch them struggle bitterly without offering help. For the sake of our companions, I boldly initiate a charity collection. I hope everyone can enthusiastically participate, and I thank you all here in advance."
.....
Upon hearing this, Su Mo was extrely astonished. He never expected Miraya to ask for donations?
And for the lower class?
Thinking of this, Su Mo sincerely admired her.
In this era, no one genuinely does charity, so if she is indeed doing this, it would be of epochal significance.
The Creator Swallower asked Su Mo in a deep voice,
"Are you going to participate?"
"Of course, why wouldn’t I? Even if I don’t have money, showing up in support isn’t a problem."
Su Mo replied candidly to the Creator Swallower, his words absolutely coming from the heart; his previous conversation with Lin Ming left a strong impression on him.
"Do you seem like soone without money?"
The Creator Swallower replied sowhat oddly.
"Don’t you know how poor I am?"
Su Mo replied helplessly.
Just then, Su Mo’s electronic bracelet vibrated, and a ssage popped up.
"Dear Colonel Su Mo, at 6 PM tonight, the famous singer Miraya will hold a charity banquet at the Heaven Banquet Hall and cordially invite you to participate..."
Su Mo, looking at this ssage and stroking his chin, was sowhat touched. This Miraya surely has so influence.
The captain of the Windlicker must be risking offending guests to help her precisely invite all the high-ranking officers and nobles.
He suspected that tonight’s banquet would be quite lively.
Then Su Mo got up and stretched. After lying there for several days, his bones were nearly falling apart; it was ti to move a bit.
Since he had nothing better to do, he might as well check it out.
...
In the evening, Su Mo changed into an inconspicuous casual outfit and headed to the Heaven Banquet Hall.
Along the way, Su Mo saw many nobles from various nations dressed in formal evening attire heading to the banquet.
"Since Miss Miraya is personally hosting the charity banquet, we should at least show our support."
"Absolutely, but I didn’t expect Miss Miraya to be on the ship too, it’s truly an unexpected surprise. How much are you planning to donate?"
"Um, I’ll donate according to my ans, planning to give a few thousand Star Coins."
"That’s what I’m thinking too; there are just too many places needing money these days. But I’ve heard quite a few big figures will be attending, so Miss Miraya might indeed be able to collect enough funds."
...
Su Mo rubbed his chin, thinking to himself, he had a feeling that today’s charity drive might not be amazing, but it wouldn’t be too bad either.
Mainly because most people were quite rational.
Before long, Su Mo arrived at the event entrance.
Though it was invitation-only, there were no restrictions on entry or exit, only security checks. Even without an invitation, you could enter.
But as they say, since you’re here, shouldn’t you at least show so goodwill?
However, just as Su Mo was entering, he bumped into a group of well-dressed young n.
"It’s you!"
The leading young man looked at Su Mo, both surprised and angry.
Su Mo turned to look and was quite astonished; wasn’t this Horien, the guy whose leg he broke?
Truly, it’s a small world, but Su Mo couldn’t be bothered with him. He replied indifferently,
"What, your leg’s healed and it doesn’t hurt anymore?"
"You...."
Horien’s face turned splotchy with anger upon hearing Su Mo’s words, though he didn’t dare to lash out at Su Mo.
Su Mo ignored him and walked straight into the venue.
The entire venue was particularly spacious, and it was set up in a buffet style, with long dining tables laden with various foods and drinks.
If you look closely, you’d notice that all the drinks and food in the banquet hall aren’t very high-end.
And the quantities provided were just right, not overly wasteful.
