Chapter 769: News (Second Update)
How could I possibly just sit at home waiting? If something happens, there won't be time to cry!
At this moment, the deep voice of the Fake Owner·Swallower resonated.
"You're going to chase them?"
"Of course."
Su Mo answered decisively.
"I advise you not to waste your efforts. The vast Star Sea is countless times more vast than the ocean. You don't know which route they took; where would you chase them?"
The Fake Owner·Swallower reminded in a deep tone.
"Hehe, you underestimate me. I've got a trick up my sleeve too."
Su Mo showed a sly smile.
"Oh?"
The Fake Owner·Swallower seemed a bit skeptical.
Su Mo didn't waste words, directly took out his phone, and logged into the Star Ring Forum.
He opened the message box he had for Qian Chengxue and found no reply yet.
So he opened Lin Xiaoyu's message box and sent Lin Xiaoyu a paid message.
"Are you there? Reply if you see this, I need to talk to you."
Then Su Mo closed his phone, just waiting for Lin Xiaoyu to see it and reply.
Can only hope she sees the message soon and responds.
"This should do it."
"Don't get too happy too soon; they've already set off. Even if you know the exact coordinates, how do you plan to chase them?"
The Fake Owner·Swallower asked in a deep voice.
"Haha, that's even simpler. Guess why I've been saving so many Star Coins instead of giving more rewards to Sun Duoxiang and the others?"
"You're going to buy a level-5 starship?"
"Exactly, I originally had this plan, just was still considering it before. Now there's nothing to consider; I have to buy one. With the speed of a level-5 starship, no matter how they run, I can catch up in no time."
Su Mo said with great confidence.
"That's certainly true."
The Fake Owner·Swallower replied in a deep voice.
"Let's do this. We have to make a trip to Star Ring City, but it's quite a hassle to go now."
Su Mo also felt it was tricky because the Federation was in a state of control, and all flights were grounded.
Thinking of this, Su Mo picked up the phone, found Sun Duoxiang's number and dialed it.
"Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable."
Su Mo rubbed his forehead as he found himself unable to reach any number. So he sent a message to Sun Duoxiang's forum.
"Where are you?"
The reply popped up quickly.
Su Mo knew that this guy must be bragging on the forum when he's free.
"Boss, I'm here in Y District, at Mo Baoke. Why are you looking for me?"
Sun Duoxiang replied swiftly.
"Wait there, I'm coming to find you."
Su Mo was quite surprised, wondering since when had these two gotten so close to hang out together.
While Su Mo was messaging Sun Duoxiang.
His Star Ring Forum inbox sounded, and Mo Baoke also sent Su Mo a lengthy message.
"Dear Boss, I heard you're coming over. I'll send a ship to pick you up right away. The thought of hosting you fills me with immense pride....."
Su Mo only read the first half of it and automatically ignored all the rest, replying with just one sentence.
"Send it immediately."
...
The next morning, a private escort ship flew towards Saye City.
Su Mo sat by the window, overlooking the scenery outside.
The cities along the way had black smoke rising to varying degrees, indicating that the unrest was not fully subdued.
At this moment, Su Mo's phone suddenly vibrated, showing a notification.
"You have new messages on your Star Ring Forum account."
Su Mo quickly opened the forum and soon saw Lin Xiaoyu's reply.
"What do you want?"
"Why did you reply so late!"
Su Mo felt a little frustrated.
"Please, I'm very busy, okay? Who stares at the forum all day for no reason!"
"Alright, alright, first tell me, where are you all now."
"Why should I tell you?"
"Come on, I'll take you out to play next time!"
"You said it, we're on our way to deliver goods to the front lines."
"Exact coordinates."
"I don't know either."
"Go to the ship's command room, then find the control interface, take a look at the parameters of that ship's navigation system, and you'll know. You are from the Lin Family; they won't guard against you."
After saying this, Su Mo suddenly felt a little guilty, tricking a kid into doing something bad.
"Okay, wait for my news."
...
Seeing Lin Xiaoyu's final response, Su Mo's smile became even more radiant, feeling that it was indeed a wise decision to win her over back then.
A stone in his heart finally fell, not only because he would soon have the exact coordinates.
The most important point is, from Lin Xiaoyu's reply, it seems Qian Chengxue and the others should be safe for the time being.
It didn't take long before the escort ship landed at the private interstellar airport of Saye City.
The ship's hatch opened, and Su Mo walked down.
"Boss, you've arrived."
Mo Baoke and Sun Duoxiang scurried up to him.
"Hmm, I found it quite peaceful here, not as chaotic as I expected."
Su Mo complimented with some surprise, originally thinking Mo Baoke's rule over the city would be a complete mess.
But upon landing, Su Mo noticed that the entire Saye City was relatively calm, without the flaming chaos seen in other cities.
"Thanks to your praise, Boss. Actually, it's because of you, Boss."
Mo Baoke replied, flattering.
"Why thank me?"
"Isn't it because following you made me rich, so I didn't need to tax my people much? Plus, with the elite Legion I have, I can easily settle the clueless thugs."
Mo Baoke said, fawningly, thinking inwardly, what's the use of collecting a bunch of Federation Coins.
Sun Duoxiang then chimed in curiously.
"Boss, why are you in such a rush to find me? Is there another lucrative project?"
"Boss, count me in too."
Upon hearing this, Mo Baoke's eyes lit up and he quickly said.
Su Mo laughed and replied, "No profitable project, I need to make a trip to Star Ring City, you take me there."
"Ah? Boss, at this critical moment, you want to leave Earth Star? Outer space is chaos right now, with monsters roaming around. Recently, I heard a Type-V monster wandered nearby. Now, no one dares to go out, and the worst part is my level-4 ship, Chen Hun, was sunk. I only have a level-3 ship, and the risk factor is too high."
Sun Duoxiang was shocked and quickly tried to persuade Su Mo, not just creating alarmist talk, but giving solid information.
"I know it's dangerous, are you afraid?"
Su Mo showed no sign of changing his decision.
Sun Duoxiang gritted his teeth and replied, "How could I be afraid? I'll gather all the experts; any monster daring enough to block you will be wiped out. If it comes to it, isn't there you, Boss?"
"I like hearing that. Gather your men. From now on, stick with me. Stop meddling with arms smuggling; you don't earn much. I can easily share some with you, worth much more than your hard-earned money."
Su Mo raised his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang's shoulder, speaking dominantly.
