Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1570 - 1251: The Best of Both Worlds

The old man just glanced at it and frowned, saying in a low voice, "Not ripe?"

"Good eyes, can it be used?"

Su Mo said with a somewhat stiff smile.

The old man’s expression changed for a moment, then he spoke, "Alright, the whole tree will be mine, and the task is considered complete."

"Uh, does this count as overachievement?"

Su Mo asked happily upon hearing this.

"No, if it’s not ripe, it counts as fifty percent, and two trees are just right!"

The old man unhesitatingly knocked him down a peg.

Seeing this, Su Mo was also helpless and a little disappointed. But this result was a win-win, finally solving a major issue.

He organized his thoughts and then spoke to the old man.

"Old man, it seems I still owe you quite a bit of money."

"What’s the matter?"

"I remember you said last time that my medical expenses were ten trillion Star Coins, and I owed you several thousand before. We’re so familiar with each other, why don’t you give me a discount, and I’ll repay you the ten trillion Star Coins, so we can be even?"

Su Mo said with a cheeky grin.

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, the old man’s face squirmed, and he stared at Su Mo with a chilling voice, saying.

"We agreed that you only need to do something for me later for the medical expenses, are you planning not to do anything for me now?"

Su Mo waved his hand and said confidently, "Look at how you’re talking. I just think it’s not appropriate to owe you endlessly, wouldn’t it mean borrowing without paying back? And I can’t keep taking advantage of you, that wouldn’t be fair to you. As for doing things for you, just ask, with our relationship, how could I possibly refuse?"

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, the old man’s expression suddenly softened, and he said.

"I didn’t expect you to consider for me, fine, ten trillion Star Coins, and we’ll call it even."

"Alright then."

Su Mo happily swiped his card and transferred ten trillion Star Coins to the old man.

"Alright, the money is settled, you can go now."

The old man said coldly after receiving the money.

"No rush, take a look at this latest material I’ve gotten, can you help me make a Bio Armor?"

Su Mo said while operating on his electronic bracelet, revealing Tinick’s body.

The old man’s cloudy eyes showed a hint of surprise upon seeing the body.

Su Mo looked at the old man nervously, feeling on edge, why wasn’t the old man speaking?

After a few minutes, the old man rasped.

"You want to make a VI generation Bio Armor?"

"That’s right, can you do it?"

Su Mo’s eyes lit up, this guy was indeed an expert.

"No problem."

The old man replied plainly.

Su Mo hurriedly asked, "How much does it cost?"

"Thirty trillion Star Coins."

The old man gave a quote without hesitation.

Su Mo was almost floored by the price, he suppressed his shock and forced a difficult smile.

"Old man, you’re not ripping me off, are you? Is a set of Bio Armor that expensive?"

"Anything related to the VI generation is expensive. If you want it cheaper, no problem, but I can’t guarantee the quality, you decide."

The old man said to Su Mo with interest.

"Stop, let’s stick with the good quality. But I’m short on money now; can I owe you for the time being?"

Su Mo was about to faint, he could only brace himself and ask with a sheepish smile.

The old man squinted at Su Mo and rasped, "I knew something was up with you suddenly repaying the money, you planned to repay first and then owe again."

"Hehe, isn’t it easier to borrow again once you’ve repaid? But you don’t have to worry; I definitely won’t default."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"Alright, I’ll have someone come to collect it."

The old man, seemingly in a good mood, agreed.

"Good, good, no problem. By the way, how’s the progress on my mecha?"

Su Mo asked with concern.

"Almost ready, it will be completed in another three months, but your mecha’s flight device hasn’t been sent over yet."

The old man reminded Su Mo.

"Rest assured, the flight device is almost ready too, I’ll personally urge them later."

Su Mo quickly explained.

"That’s good."

Seeing Su Mo so confident, the old man said no more.

"I’ll be leaving then."

Su Mo said goodbye to the old man when the matters were settled.

The old man didn’t answer Su Mo, just turned and walked towards the inner room.

Shortly after, Su Mo was walking alone on the road.

The Creator · Swallower said in a low voice, "Where are you planning to go next? To urge Euler?"

"Going would be useless; Euler has just started production, it will definitely take some time, as long as it catches up in the end, it’s fine. I’m planning to go to the Federation to see President of Alles."

Su Mo said to the Creator · Swallower, as he picked up his phone and sent a message to Hai Yue.

Very quickly, Hai Yue’s feedback message popped up.

Su Mo glanced at it, then headed to the Star Ring City Federation Building.

Luck was on his side, President of Alles was in Star Ring City.

...

Soon, Su Mo arrived at the Federation Building in Star Ring City.

He used his badge to enter effortlessly.

Inside the building, it was bustling with busy people.

Su Mo then headed towards the elevator.

Before long, he reached the office door of Alles, the door wasn’t closed.

Su Mo peeked inside and saw Alles standing by the window, gazing at the view outside, with a faint trace of sorrow on his face, sighing over something unknown.

Knock, knock~

Su Mo raised his hand and knocked on the open door.

Alles instinctively turned to look, and upon seeing Su Mo, was taken aback, then immediately showed a bright smile.

"Why didn’t you tell me you were coming, come in and have a seat!"

Su Mo entered with a smile.

Alles poured a cup of tea and personally handed it to Su Mo, saying.

"Li Ruiqi has already told me about everything, I’m so grateful to you, I don’t even know what to say."

"It’s what I should do, by the way, why were you just sighing, did something happen?"

Su Mo replied nonchalantly.

"What could happen? It’s just the survival of the lower levels and Federation development."

Alles replied with a bitter smile.

"What’s going on exactly?"

Su Mo asked calmly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"It’s like this, the Federation has developed well recently, gaining a lot of funds. But all that money went into the Jump Fortress and Godlight Plan, leaving no funds to pacify the lower levels. You know, in this rapidly changing era, not developing might get you eliminated soon. But I also know how hard it is for the lower levels to survive. The current situation feels like being loyal or righteous is equally difficult, whichever you choose feels wrong, that’s why the entire council is quarreling endlessly."

Alles replied tiredly.

"President of Alles, no need to worry, I am here specifically for this. I’ll transfer 3 trillion Star Coins to you, so you can have the best of both worlds."

Su Mo said with a smile.

"Where do you get so much money? Besides, aren’t you heavily in debt?"

Alles was shocked too.

"I earned it, and you don’t have to worry about my debts, I’ve already paid them off."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

Alles was even more astonished upon hearing this.

"You paid it off?"

"Yes, I did, but enough about that. What is the Godlight Plan about?"

Su Mo smiled and shifted the topic.

"It’s a top-secret Federation plan, hard to explain briefly. But once the plan is complete, I’ll give you a mecha as a reward for rescuing Li Rui and the others."

Alles explained with a smile.

"Great! Thanks!"

Su Mo replied with a smile. Even if he didn’t know the performance, collecting it wouldn’t hurt!

"Hmm! Rarely do you come back, let’s have dinner together tonight."

Alles stood up and invited.

"Sure!"

Su Mo nodded in agreement.

"Please!"
