497: Chapter 439: Heading To 497: Chapter 439: Heading To Su Mo picked up the piece of Eternal tal in his hand, weighed it slightly, and estimated its weight based on how it felt.
This piece of Eternal tal was about 10KG, so the recycling value should be around 100 million Star Coins, but as for the actual value, that was unclear.
If he could go to Star Ring City now, Su Mo would certainly not hesitate to sell it in exchange for a high-performance cha.
Of course, that was just wishful thinking, totally unrealistic, as Black Brilliance continued its voyage.
…
In the communal dining room of Area K, Chen Shan bought two als and placed one in front of Xiao Wen, saying in a rather good mood.
“We’ve got an extra dish today, an additional chicken leg.”
Xiao Wen replied sowhat absentmindedly, “Hmm.”
Chen Shan looked at Xiao Wen with a hint of confusion, “Old Xiao, what’s up with you?
You seem off, is there an issue with the quota?
If sothing’s wrong, don’t just bear it alone, we can think of a solution together.”
“It’s nothing.”
“You don’t look fine at all!”
Chen Shan beca even more anxious.
Looking at Chen Shan, Xiao Wen sighed and said, “I’ve got news about Qian Chengxue.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shan also froze for a mont, then was overjoyed, “But that’s good news, why the long face?”
“I don’t know whether to tell Su Mo.”
Xiao Wen said with so struggle.
Chen Shan was confused and said, “I’m puzzled, why wouldn’t you tell Su Mo?
You and I both know that Su Mo is looking for her.
By the way, where is she now?”
“The GT departnt.”
Xiao Wen replied.
Having heard this, Chen Shan looked thoughtfully at Xiao Wen’s expression and said, “Old Xiao, are you worried that telling Su Mo will lead him to leave us for the GT departnt?
Listen to my advice, we can’t keep this from him, being brothers ans being loyal!”
Xiao Wen just gave a wry smile, not knowing how to explain to Chen Shan that what he was most worried about wasn’t Su Mo leaving, but that he would be greatly hurt.
“Old Xiao, say sothing!”
Seeing Xiao Wen silent, Chen Shan grew impatient.
“We’ll have dinner tonight, and I’ll tell Su Mo then.”
After so thought, Xiao Wen decided not to share too much with Chen Shan, lest he beca as entangled as he was.
“Alright, I’ll call Su Mo right now.”
Chen Shan said with great joy, even though they might not be able to fight alongside Su Mo in the future, a brother’s well-being was the best outco.
…..
In the evening, Su Mo was sowhat baffled as he found himself once again in the Central District, following the address given to him by Chen Shan.
Soon, he found a lively hot pot restaurant bustling with noise from all the diners.
After surveying around a bit, Su Mo quickly spotted Xiao Wen and Chen Shan and walked over curiously asking.
“What’s the occasion today that we’re suddenly eating out?”
It was known that Xiao Wen and Chen Shan didn’t live lavish lives since they had given most of their extra money as compensation for their fallen comrades.
“Sit down, sit.
There’s good news.”
Chen Shan said excitedly.
“What good news?”
Su Mo beca increasingly curious.
Could it be that the higher-ups were suddenly being generous, equipping them with a load of weapons?
“Don’t rush, have a drink first and Xiao Wen will tell you later.”
Chen Shan smiled while pouring a cup of wine for Su Mo.
The three raised their glasses, clinked them together, and drank in unison.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Wen hesitantly said, “Su Mo, um…”
“What’s wrong?
You’re hesitating a lot today when you speak.”
Su Mo looked at Xiao Wen with puzzlent.
Chen Shan nudged Xiao Wen, saying, “Old Xiao, just spit it out, it’s okay.”
With another wry smile, Xiao Wen then told Su Mo, “Su Mo, I want to tell you that Qian Chengxue is also on the ship, she’s currently in the GT departnt.”
After hearing Xiao Wen’s words, Su Mo was stunned for a few seconds, then ca back to his senses, sporting an unnatural smile.
“Oh, what a coincidence.”
Excitedly, Chen Shan said, “Isn’t it a surprise!”
“Quite a surprise.
Let’s drink and eat; here’s to you guys.”
Su Mo picked up his wine with a bit of uneasy normalcy, trying to appear calm on the surface, yet his heartbeat involuntarily raced.
Seeing Su Mo had no intention of leaving and seed to be changing the subject, Chen Shan beca puzzled; was he the only one worrying for nothing?
However, he said nothing more and simply raised his cup in response.
“Cheers!”
Xiao Wen, on the other hand, looked on with an increasingly serious expression.
…
Late at night back in his room, Su Mo, his face flushed, lay down on his bed and closed the door.
His mind repeatedly ran over Xiao Wen’s words.
“She’s in the GT departnt.”
Su Mo suddenly sat up, his face breaking into a delighted smile, but then a troubled look crossed his face.
He picked up his phone, scrolled through the ssage history, and looked at the last reply.
“I’m sorry, I’m currently dealing with urgent matters, may not be able to get away.
If I’m free, I will co; otherwise, I wish you a safe journey.”
Looking at the ssage from Qian Chengxue, Su Mo’s expression beca increasingly forlorn.
She never did co that day; perhaps, he was nothing more than a passerby in her life.
Would seeking her out cause her trouble?
Maybe she really had no feelings for him at all.
In the end, she didn’t even want to co.
Was he just being overly sentintal?
Su Mo hugged his knees to his chest, crouching in a corner, his eyes clouded with confusion.
…
Two days later, at Training Area K52.
Su Mo operated the Iron Guard cha and trained with Chen Shan and the others on team formation maneuvers.
Ten Iron Guard chas moved at high speed.
