Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1436 - 1126: Doubts

When Coret and the others heard the old man’s words, their faces immediately became somewhat unpleasant. However, due to their fear of the old man, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction and reply.

"Yes."

But as they left, they all glanced at Su Mo with the corners of their eyes.

Soon, only Su Mo and the old man were left on the scene.

"Old man, when you fought with me, what was that move? So strong! It felt like the whole Biological Mecha was instantly activated, even more terrifying than beast mode, and it wasn’t that irrational Negative Energy strength either."

Su Mo asked eagerly.

"Why should I tell you."

The old man replied coldly.

"Come on, don’t be stingy."

Su Mo took out the technique he learned from Mo Baoke and, smiling, said.

"Alright, no need to laugh with me like a clown. Your body has almost recovered; the rehabilitation training ends here. Starting tomorrow, you don’t need to come anymore."

The old man directly issued an expulsion order to Su Mo.

"Don’t do this, I didn’t expect you to be so strong. How about I become your apprentice?"

Su Mo earnestly requested, genuinely impressed.

You know, after reaching this level, he had been stuck without progress. Without someone to guide him, it was really difficult to advance further.

When the old man heard Su Mo’s words, he couldn’t help but fall silent, not knowing what he was pondering.

Seeing that the old man didn’t immediately reject him, Su Mo couldn’t help but get nervous, holding his breath as he looked at the old man.

"No! I don’t take apprentices."

The old man’s words were like a cold shower, thoroughly drenching Su Mo.

The Fake Owner · Swallower was also taken aback when hearing the old man’s words.

However, it didn’t say anything.

"Can’t you discuss it? Just take me in."

Su Mo hastily pleaded.

Unfortunately, the old man’s attitude was exceptionally firm, he replied coldly, "I don’t take apprentices. You can leave!"

After finishing his words, the old man turned and left directly, giving Su Mo no chance at all.

"Sigh~"

Su Mo looked at the old man’s departing figure and sighed lightly.

Not long after, Su Mo walked alone on the way back to the Shadow. Scenes of the old man operating the mecha in battle flashed through his mind repeatedly, especially the scene where he used that special ability.

His heart felt like countless ants were crawling over it, extremely itchy.

"Fake Owner · Swallower, what is that ability, why is it so strong?"

"Blackening, that kind of power not only greatly enhances the strength of the mecha but also can block the permissions of any device."

Fake Owner · Swallower explained to Su Mo in a deep voice.

"So powerful, why hasn’t anyone used it before."

Su Mo drew a deep breath in surprise.

"There are fewer people alive who can use that kind of ability than there are fingers on one hand! You’re already very fortunate to have witnessed it."

Fake Owner · Swallower clearly explained to Su Mo.

"Blackening, blackening....."

Su Mo couldn’t help but murmur these two words.

At night, Su Mo lay in bed, tossing and turning in restlessness.

When he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the scenes of the battle during the day.

"Still not giving up?"

Fake Owner · Swallower asked in a deep voice.

"If I give up after a little setback, then I’m not far from being useless."

Su Mo said determinedly,

"So what do you plan to do?"

"Tomorrow I’ll go to the grocery store and try begging that old man again."

"Aren’t you afraid of being rejected again?"

"He’s not my father, why do I have to apprentice under him just because I want to? I’m not so narcissistic to think the whole world revolves around me."

Su Mo replied with clear eyes.

"Oh, at least you have some self-awareness, good luck."

Fake Owner · Swallower replied in a deep voice.

...

Early the next morning, Su Mo ran to the grocery store’s entrance.

The door of the grocery store was open, and he went inside with a pleased expression.

Inside, the old man was still standing at the counter with a deadpan face, looking like an old man half-buried in the ground, completely devoid of any hint of a master.

Su Mo coughed and approached the counter.

The old man stood at the counter with a deadpan face, as if he hadn’t seen Su Mo.

"Good morning."

Su Mo greeted with a smile.

The old man still ignored Su Mo, but Su Mo was unfazed and spoke to the old man.

"Old man, let’s discuss something."

"Apprenticeship is out of the question."

The old man replied hoarsely.

"Come on, hear me out, I’m actually a pretty good guy. Taking me in is definitely not a loss for you. It’s said that once a teacher, forever a father - if you take me in, I’ll absolutely take care of you in your old age."

Su Mo smiled, starting to persuade the old man.

His idea was simple: as long as the other party doesn’t get angry or issue an expulsion order, there is hope, then keep trying.

The old man glanced sideways at Su Mo, directly ignoring him.

.....

Seven hours later.

Su Mo was hoarse from talking, yet the old man still stood at the counter with a dead face, unmoved.

It was at this time that, as Su Mo was about to speak again,

The old man suddenly said: "Close the door!"

Swoosh!

Su Mo was thrown out, standing outside the tightly shut door of the grocery store, he kept taking deep breaths to adjust his mindset.

"Continue?"

Fake Owner · Swallower asked in a deep voice.

"Continue, why not? I’ll come back tomorrow."

Su Mo replied with great determination.

"Suit yourself."

Fake Owner · Swallower replied in a deep voice.

Half a month later, Su Mo lay in his bed, browsing apprenticeship guides on the forum with his phone.

"Xiao Shi, how about this guide, offering a lot of money as a sincere gesture, and using money to pave the way for success."

"Not good, do you think you’re richer than the old man? He seems to be your largest creditor."

Fake Owner · Swallower replied disdainfully.

"Uh, how about this one, sincerity overcomes obstacles, kneeling at the door without getting up until he agrees."

"Don’t worry, with his stone-cold heart, even if millions of people died before him, he wouldn’t bat an eye."

"Sigh, this doesn’t work, that doesn’t work, it’s hard."

Su Mo replied, feeling a headache.

"If it were that easy to win him over, he’d already have tons of apprentices."

Fake Owner · Swallower replied in a deep voice.

"Forget it, I’ll think about this later. First, I’ll collect some Energy Crystals."

Su Mo exited these guide posts and began searching for posts selling Energy Crystals.

While searching, he stumbled upon a particularly unusual post.

"Selling Level 3 Energy Crystals, negotiable price for large quantities, transaction platform ID 14223, link passage below."

Su Mo paused slightly, then tentatively clicked on it, and soon a separate window popped up.

"What’s going on? When was this feature added."

Su Mo looked curious and then started researching.

Not long after, he finally understood. This is an online trading platform opened by Star Ring City, allowing free trade and sales.
