373: Chapter 373: Evacuation 373: Chapter 373: Evacuation Su Mo didn’t bother with Bickering.
He straightforwardly told Lei Jiang, “It’s not that I don’t support the planning and decisions of higher-ups.
But whatever we do, we must handle it properly.
There are so many tenants here, we must provide a satisfactory solution.
I don’t care how much compensation can be paid; what I care about is how all my tenants are properly relocated.
An interstellar airport can’t be built overnight, it definitely takes a process, so go back and think it over, and give a satisfactory plan.”
In Su Mo’s view, no matter how much money he was given, it was all just a heap of useless paper and data.
He had grown fond of the tenants here, more or less.
He couldn’t bear to watch them be driven out, holess and displaced.
So people might not understand, but if you change your perspective, maybe you would.
“Mr.
Su Mo, this…”
Lei Jiang’s expression was as though he had eaten dung, properly relocating so many people was a killing demand for him.
“Don’t talk to about other matters, let’s let bygones be bygones.
Pay what needs to be compensated, apologize where apologies are due.
But if you ss around before providing a reasonable plan, don’t bla for suing you directly.
By then, don’t say you weren’t forewarned about the lawsuit, and don’t even think about demolishing this place.”
Su Mo stood with his hands folded, his tone was calm but exceptionally firm.
Lei Jiang replied bitterly, “Mr.
Su Mo, we understand…”
Su Mo turned to the densely packed neighbors behind him and said, “Everyone disperse.
Don’t congregate here anymore.”
“Alright.”
The mass of people responded one after another and then began to disperse.
Zhou Kui looked at Lei Jiang.
“Director Lei, what should we do now?”
“What to do?
Withdraw all operation machines.
Don’t cause any more conflicts before we reach an agreent.”
Lei Jiang said crossly.
“Alright, alright…”
Zhou Huai quickly complied.
A mont later, people from both sides had mostly retreated, and Uncle Zhao also sighed in relief.
He said to Su Mo with slight guilt, “Bringing you back all of a sudden didn’t disrupt anything for you, did it?”
Su Mo shook his head and replied, “It’s fine, I was planning to co back anyway.”
“You’re not returning to Imperial City?”
“Not for now, I will wait until things here are resolved; when I have free ti, I’ll go back and see.”
Su Mo looked towards Imperial City and sighed.
At that mont, Uncle Li ca over, smiling, and said, “It’s good you’re staying.
While you were away, Su Mo, I expanded the internet cafe as you instructed, and business has been pretty good.
If you find it boring, co over to the internet cafe.
We’ve kept the ‘Ga Cabin’ you requested.
Being alone at ho gets too solitary, and over ti you might feel lonely.
Coming to the internet cafe is better, the atmosphere is lively, and you won’t get bored.”
“Okay!”
Su Mo thought for a mont and agreed.
Upon hearing Su Mo’s agreent, Uncle Li’s face brightened imnsely, having not harbored much hope.
He hadn’t expected Su Mo to really be willing to co out.
“Great, I’ll go prepare right away.”
“No need for the hassle, co to think of it, I have shares in Star Ga Cafe annabin},”paused, empty-handed for a simple internet administrator position, seems like a fair gesture.”
Su Mo said.
“You aren’t playing gas anymore?”
Uncle Li was slightly taken aback.
“My ga account t its demise.”
Su Mo explained.
“Look at my mory, Star Ring Ga indeed is not like the ordinary gas, the mortality rate is too high.
But no worries, watching others play works just as well.”
Uncle Li quickly consoled Su Mo, plainly sensing that Su Mo wasn’t quite the sa as before, much more cheery.
“I know.”
……
———————————————————
Days later, Su Mo sat at the bar counter of Kai Yuan Internet Cafe.
The previously old and worn-down cafe had been renovated and now looked brand new.
Rows of boxy helts settled neatly, and Uncle Li had even deliberately added a moderate-sized holographic projection device in the center during the renovation, inspired by the neighboring Star Ga Cafe, broadcasting various Star Ring combat videos and celebrity strear content in real ti.
Although this cafe was much smaller than the one across the street, it won out with its cheaper prices, and therefore, it also attracted an exceptionally lively crowd.
“So cool!”
A burst of excited cheers erupted.
Su Mo instinctively looked up at the central projection screen.
At that mont, it was showing a battle video of Li Dongen from the Noble Grace Association’s professional team, piloting a Generation II Cheetah cha.
His control was smooth as flowing water.
The Cheetah cha navigated through a group of alien Monsters, its Alloy Blade in hand like a harvester, reaping the lives of any Monsters it encountered,
Blood splattered everywhere.
On the edge of the projection screen, there was information and a brief resu about Li Dongen.
Li Dongen, captain of the Noble Grace Association’s number one ace cha squadron.
Claim to fa: In the Yellowstone Base siege, he alone slew seven Gen II elite-level Monsters and one Gen III General-level Alien, laying the foundation for Noble Grace Association’s victory at Yellowstone Base, earning the nickna “Harvester.”
Shortly after, the central image changed once again.
A sexy, curvaceous woman appeared, piloting a Generation III cha, the Gale cha.
She dove straight from the sky into a sea-like surge of Monsters.
Her sharp scythe swept across, slicing groups of Alien Monsters in half like tofu.
Dark dense patches on the battlefield were instantly cleared, creating large vacuud areas.
……
The onlookers let out an excited shout.
“Casari!!!”
Casari, the second ace squadron captain of the Violent Bear Guild.
Moniker: Blood Reaper.
Rise to fa: In the Black Water Battlefield, she single-handedly slaughtered 162 Mythical Guild’s chas, then proceeded to Black Water Land, where she alone killed 3 Gen III General-level and 32 Gen III elite Monsters….
….
Su Mo bowed his head and continued browsing the forum website as the Earth Cup began and the Star Ring Ga reached a new climax.
At the sa ti, the Federation Council announced the formation of an offensive and defensive alliance, all internal battles were canceled hence, the surviving Independent Travelers conventionally joined the regular army.
They thereby obtained firsthand information, historic combat achievents of various guilds’ official professional personnel were all revealed.
The forr combat leaderboard, once dominated by Independent Traveler experts, was now almost entirely taken over by professional players from the regular army.
After all, compared to the combat skills of professionals, Independent Travelers seed extrely diocre.
Take Li Dongen for instance, Noble Grace Association’s ace ch pilot.
While not on par with the ace pilots from Sky Dragon Guild and Freedom Victory Guild, he was still far ahead of top Independent Travelers who couldn’t even catch their breath against him, let alone ordinary celebrity strears.
This stark contrast instantly sparked a nationwide chase for stars, as countless players found new idols.
Unfortunately, Su Mo had no interest at all, and he continued searching the forum for information on the Dawn Guild.
However, the results of his search made Su Mo frown tightly.
He couldn’t find any related videos or information at all; it seed that Qian Chengxue and the others, being with the Sky Dragon Guild, had all their information covered up.
