Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1551 - 1232: Thick-Skinned (First Update)

"Haha, what I admire most is Commander Su Mo’s carefree attitude. Just this quality alone makes you better than countless people."

Kyarat lavishly praised Su Mo.

"You’re too kind."

Su Mo replied somewhat awkwardly.

At this moment, Kyarat said to Su Mo: "Commander Su Mo, since you’re here to see Krisia, I won’t be a third wheel. Enjoy your meal and have a good chat."

"You’re too courteous."

Su Mo hurriedly thanked Kyarat.

Kyarat immediately got up from the dining table, and as he was walking past Krisia, he couldn’t help but place his hand on her shoulder and said softly,

"Sister, make sure to entertain Commander Su Mo well."

"Okay, big brother."

Krisia replied with an expressionless face.

Kyarat then left the dining room without any hesitation, having achieved his purpose: to preliminarily confirm that Su Mo’s presence was likely coincidental.

Soon, only Krisia and Su Mo were left in the dining room.

Su Mo was a bit uneasy at this point, not knowing how to explain to Krisia. He awkwardly said,

"Well, Krisia, actually, what I said earlier..."

"Commander Su Mo, you don’t need to explain. I understand."

Krisia looked up at Su Mo and responded.

"Haha, as long as you understand, it’s a temporary measure..."

Su Mo scratched his head and replied with a smile.

"Let’s eat."

Krisia, as usual, wasn’t much of a talker. She briefly spoke to Su Mo, then lowered her head to focus on her meal.

Leaving Su Mo unsure of how to engage with Krisia. Actually, Su Mo wanted to ask Krisia about what the base was doing here and how the progress was.

To see if they had discovered anything similar to the Pala Fruit.

But he eventually gave up, realizing that some things can’t be rushed.

...

The next day, Su Mo stretched and walked out of his room.

The guards in the corridor saw Su Mo, their eyes still cold and indifferent.

Su Mo didn’t mind; he went straight to Krisia’s door next to his and pressed the doorbell.

But he waited for a long time, and the door didn’t open.

"Huh? Not in?"

Su Mo was a bit puzzled that Krisia was not in her room so early.

He hesitated for a moment before deciding to take this opportunity to explore the area.

So Su Mo hummed a tune and naturally walked into the base, only to encounter an unexpected scene.

He hadn’t walked far before two of the Immortal Empire’s NCOs reached out to stop him. They said to Su Mo coldly,

"Commander Su Mo, this is the Empire’s internal area, currently not open to outsiders. We apologize for the inconvenience."

"Alright, alright."

Su Mo smiled in response before walking in the opposite direction.

A moment later, after encountering obstacles everywhere, Su Mo had no choice but to leave the base and head outside.

"Whew~" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Su Mo let out a long breath and stretched.

"There’s someone watching you from the far left."

The creator·Swallower reminded Su Mo.

"I know, they’re watching closely. It’s hard to even take a stroll, and everyone looks so stern, it’s tough to gather any information."

Su Mo complained to the creator·Swallower helplessly.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly saw Krisia. She seemed to be discussing something with a group of people.

"Let’s go over there, use finding Krisia as an excuse to eavesdrop."

Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately walked toward Krisia.

In the distance, Krisia asked calmly,

"Is the underground development not going smoothly?"

"It’s not going smoothly at all. It’s much larger than we imagined down there and very complex inside."

Buseray shook his head and said.

"It can’t go on like this, we’ve wasted too much time here. Is there no other substantial method?"

Krisia replied, her brows tightly furrowed.

At this point, an ordinary-looking man, with sharp eyes and an aura of killing intent, spoke steadily to Krisia.

"Krisia, don’t worry. There will soon be progress. Prince Kieran is drafting a plan, this time..."

The man speaking was none other than the Immortal Empire’s top expert, Reoter.

As Reoter was comforting Krisia, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence and turned his head to look at the approaching Su Mo, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. When they were talking, who would dare to come over?

Su Mo thickened his skin, smiling as he approached, and called out to Krisia,

"Krisia, so this is where you are. I’ve been looking for you for ages."

Krisia’s usually serene face twitched slightly, her expression a bit unnatural, but she replied calmly,

"Uh-huh."

"Who are you?"

Reoter, seeing this uninvited guest heading for Krisia, was even more displeased.

"I’m Krisia’s former superior, Su Mo. Krisia, are you busy? Is there anything I can help with?"

Su Mo said, smiling familiarly.

"Thanks for your concern, but there’s nothing."

Krisia answered Su Mo perfunctorily, hoping he would leave quickly.

Unfortunately, Su Mo just stood there shamelessly, showing no intention of leaving. Instead, he engaged in small talk with Krisia.

"Have you had breakfast? Want to eat together?"

Next to them, Reoter and Buseray saw Su Mo eagerly inviting Krisia to eat, and their expressions turned very unfavorable.

Wasn’t this an obvious pursuit of Krisia?

So Reoter said to Su Mo, "Commander Su Mo, if you have nothing to do, please walk around elsewhere. Krisia still has important matters to discuss with us and is too busy to entertain you."

"I’m just a bit bored and wanted Krisia to show me around. No worries, continue your discussion, don’t mind me, I’ll wait until you’re done talking."

Su Mo was just that tactless, staying there shamelessly.

Actually, this kind of shameless behavior proved useful, as Su Mo had just heard a few keywords: underground and not going smoothly.

Nine times out of ten, the Immortal Empire’s progress here certainly hadn’t met expectations.

Reoter, seeing Su Mo’s thick skin, let out a cold snort and left in a huff.

Buseray also gave Su Mo a cold glance before turning and leaving.

Krisia’s usual calm expression also shifted slightly. She sighed and turned to Su Mo, saying,

"Commander Su Mo, what are you really doing here?"

"Haha, nothing much, just came to see you."

Su Mo laughed it off.

"Got it."

Krisia replied somewhat helplessly.

...

In the afternoon, inside the base’s office, Kyarat paced back and forth.

At this moment, a subordinate walked in and handed a report document to Kyarat.

"Lord Kyarat, this is the exploration summary information and plan proposal from Action Team No. 7."

Kyarat took the report document, flipped through it carefully, fell into thought, and after a long while, said,

"Call Buseray."

"Yes!"

...
