Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1419 - 1109: Postponed (Part 1)

Evening time.

Su Mo once again stood at the entrance of that inconspicuous grocer store.

The entrance was still bleak and deserted, not a single person around.

The deep voice of the Fake Owner, the Devourer, echoed in Su Mo’s mind.

"I’ve noticed you’re quite daring; the old man gave you the V-Generation Biological Mecha, the Light of Sin Abyss, and you’ve already messed it up beyond recognition. You haven’t even found what you’re looking for, and most of the time has passed, yet you dare to come back here. Aren’t you afraid he’ll just skin you alive? Don’t think his temper is really that good."

"Do you think you can escape the first, but what about the fifteenth?"

Su Mo took a deep breath and said.

"Tsk, tsk, you’re not wrong there. Well, good luck to you then."

The deep voice of the Fake Owner, the Devourer, replied.

"Hey, hey, you’re being too disloyal."

Su Mo couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the Fake Owner, the Devourer.

Unfortunately, the Fake Owner, the Devourer, played dead and said nothing.

Su Mo took a deep breath and cautiously walked inside, the interior setup was still the same as before, unchanged.

The old man with white ragged hair still stood behind the counter with his head down, but he seemed even worse than before, looking like a mummified corpse.

The old man suddenly lifted his head, staring directly at Su Mo.

"You’re back? Where’s the stuff?"

"Ah! Uh, I haven’t found it yet."

Su Mo was startled too, and replied awkwardly.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, the old man’s expression immediately turned gloomy, and the temperature in the whole grocer store dropped several degrees.

"Then why are you here?"

"I came to see you to discuss delaying the search for the Pala Fruit. In my current state, I really can’t..."

Su Mo had only said half of his sentence before he was startled by the old man’s glare again.

The old man’s gaze was like that of a terrifying fierce beast, chilling to the bone.

Su Mo could clearly feel that the other party was truly angry, so he quickly said, "Wait, don’t rush, hear me out first."

"Speak, but I advise you to think carefully before you do."

The old man replied in a low voice.

"I’m not saying I won’t complete the task, it’s just that my body really can’t handle it right now, so I need to delay a bit. But I know your body can’t wait either, so I brought special medicine!"

Su Mo placed the two types of medicine on the table.

The old man was slightly taken aback seeing the medicine Su Mo brought out.

Seeing the old man’s silence, Su Mo quickly said, "If I’m not mistaken, you’re probably also suffering from the erosion of Negative Energy Pollution, and your body is breaking down because of it. Taking these two medicines together can suppress Negative Energy Pollution. I’ve tested it myself, it’s definitely effective."

The old man took the two medicines, examined them closely, opened one of the bottles, looked at the tablets inside, and sniffed them.

Standing before him, Su Mo was incredibly nervous, silently praying in his heart.

"Please let it work."

"I haven’t seen this medicine before, but where did you get this one from?"

The old man squinted his eyes, picking up the medicine that Star Ring City prescribed and asked.

"You mean this one, right? Prescribed by Star Ring City. If you find it useful, I can get you more."

Seeing signs of the old man easing up, Su Mo quickly said.

"Is this medicine that easy to get?"

The old man glanced at Su Mo with a trace of peculiarity in his eyes.

"Don’t worry, it’s definitely easy to get!"

Su Mo patted his chest assuring the old man.

After listening to Su Mo, the old man’s corpse-like face began to twitch slightly.

He stared intently at the medicine prescribed by Star Ring City, if he wasn’t mistaken, this was the same medicine used by Icaroya City Lord.

The ingredients it contained included Pala Fruit, making it invaluable and impossible to purchase with money.

This kid could actually get it easily from Star Ring City, and he didn’t seem to realize its preciousness.

It’s obvious that the people of Star Ring City never told him the truth.

Seeing the old man stay silent for a long time, Su Mo also became increasingly uneasy, asking cautiously.

"Old man? Can it work?"

The old man came back to his senses, stored away the two medicines, and then said.

"I’ll give you a two-year delay, provided you bring me a bottle of this medicine every year."

"No problem, but listen to me, it’s genuinely not intentional that I stood you up, it’s those Eternal Sleep Clan bastards pressuring me too much."

Hearing this, Su Mo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"With an arm as weak as yours, don’t act recklessly. Getting involved in the crack of a species war, even if you’re as stinky and hard as a stone in a latrine pit, the war machine will crush you to bits."

The old man coldly warned.

"Hehe, it’s not like I had a choice, you know. Uh~ there’s one more thing I need to tell you."

Su Mo said awkwardly.

The old man suddenly raised his head, staring intently at Su Mo.

Su Mo was startled by the old man’s reaction and quickly said, "Don’t rush, hear me out, the Light of Sin Abyss you gave me was damaged, can it be repaired?"

"I’ll send someone to recover it."

The old man responded in a low tone.

"This is the current state of the mecha, take a look at when it can be fixed and returned to me."

Thick-skinned, Su Mo opened his phone to show the old man.

The old man looked at the photo on Su Mo’s phone, and his shriveled face couldn’t help but twitch, calling this damaged? It was nearly destroyed, so he said coldly.

"No more."

"Come on now, let’s talk properly, without the mecha, how am I supposed to find the fruit once I recover? You can’t really expect me to search with bare hands, can you?"

Su Mo replied with a bitter smile.

The old man suppressed his anger, saying to Su Mo.

"Hmph, it’ll be fixed, someone will notify you."

"Great, and how’s my mecha being made coming along?"

Su Mo quickly inquired.

"You should worry about yourself, quickly heal and bring back what I need."

The old man directly stored away the two bottles of medicine on the table.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be off."

Su Mo, seeing that everything was settled, prepared to sneak away.

"Stop right there."

The old man suddenly spoke abruptly.

Su Mo froze for a moment, anxiety surged in his heart as he looked at the old man, squeezing out an awkward smile to ask, "Is there anything else?"

The old man’s eyes, like those of the dead, constantly scanned up and down Su Mo.

Making Su Mo increasingly uneasy, he asked with trepidation, "Why are you staring at me like that? Is something wrong?"

"Why is the pollution on you so severe? What did you do?"

The old man’s gaze was exceedingly sharp as he asked.

Su Mo was also taken aback internally, could the old man have discovered the Negative God Fragment within him? But quickly Su Mo dismissed this thought, as not even the Fake Owner, the Devourer could find it. There’s no way the old man could see it. So he replied with a bitter smile.
