Chapter 115 - Repayment Added for alliance leader Next Door Old Wang Ting 19th update

Wait a minute?

Could it be that the players who attacked that base at the time were from our own Legion?

Thinking of this, Su Mo’s expression became even more intriguing.

It couldn’t really be such a coincidence, could it?

So Su Mo scrolled up to review the fiery chat history.

A moment later, Su Mo’s expression turned somewhat peculiar; coincidences in this world really did seem to abound.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly spotted a familiar avatar popping up.

Flying Fish (Lin Zinuo) (Deputy Head of Team Twelve): All of you shut up, who let you wag your tongues here?

I’m laying it down right now, that ship was our own doing.

If you’re not convinced, let your team leader come out and say something.

Sister Xue has already acknowledged this matter, since when is it your turn to blabber here?

If I hear one more word, just watch; I’ll throw you to the disciplinary group, and you’ll be tagged with the charge of having ulterior motives to divide the Legion.

In an instant, the previously bustling group chat fell silent.

Su Mo was dumbfounded; so Lin Zinuo was this fierce?

She had actually stepped into the fray to join the fight!

But the effect was indeed very effective.

The group chat that had been spamming messages was now quieter than anything.

Of course, grievances aside, no one wanted to be the one to stick their neck out.

Any fool could see that Lin Zinuo dared to speak like this because she was backed by solid confidence.

Moreover, if one were thrown to the disciplinary group and the investigation was validated, it wasn’t just employment that was at risk, but possibly facing a huge compensation fee as well.

Su Mo put away his phone and continued with his morning routine.

Shortly after, Su Mo returned to the company and headed to the 22nd floor.

He had just stepped out of the elevator and was about to head towards the server room after clocking in on a machine nearby when—

A sudden shout stopped him.

“Su Mo!”

Su Mo looked up in confusion.

He saw Zhao Han and Lin Zinuo walking towards him.

“What’s up?”

Su Mo asked, puzzled.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo touched her forehead, feeling a sense of collapse inside.

This guy’s EQ still hadn’t improved one bit, couldn’t he be approached just for small talk?

She coughed softly, forced an awkward smile, and said to Zhao Han,

“Don’t mind him, he’s always like this.”

“I think it’s good, at least he’s sincere.”

Zhao Han now found everything about Su Mo agreeable!

She was still rejoicing over her wise decision from before, grateful she hadn’t offed him with a single shot.

“It is good, Su Mo, come with us for a moment.”

Lin Zinuo, apprehensive that Su Mo might blurt out something shocking, urged him.

“Okay.”

Su Mo didn’t say much.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Zhao Han’s office, where she poured a cup of tea with great spirits from her cherished pot and handed it to Su Mo.

“Try this—it’s part of my private collection, purely natural and pollution-free tea leaves.”

“Thank you.”

Su Mo took a sip and it seemed quite nice.

“You don’t need to be so formal, we’re all part of the same team; not just comrades-in-arms, but also like family.”

Zhao Han smiled warmly while making conversation with Su Mo.

Lin Zinuo chimed in from the side: “Sister Zhao Han is right, no need to be so polite, we’re all family from now on.”

Su Mo was taken aback by their warm attitude; he wondered if they had taken the wrong medication or something.

He couldn’t help but ask,

“Are you guys okay?”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office plummeted, and the smiles on both Lin Zinuo’s and Zhao Han’s faces stiffened.

“Cough cough~ No worries, we asked you here to discuss your reward.

Lin Zinuo has already told me all about your performance.

We all agree that you played an indispensable role in acquiring The Crane Orchid.”

Zhao Han coughed and spoke very seriously.

“Oh.”

Su Mo didn’t seem to care much.

On the side, Lin Zinuo helplessly shook her head and signaled Zhao Han with her eyes to cut to the chase and speak frankly.

“I’ll put it simply, since you made a great contribution, Zinuo proposed to me that we waive your entire debt.

So, I submitted a request to our superiors.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t approved, but they did allocate 500,000 in cash as your reward for this time.”

Zhao Han reached into a drawer, pulled out a cash cheque for five hundred thousand, and handed it directly to Su Mo.

Su Mo did not take the cheque and said indifferently, “I don’t need it.

Just offset my debt with it.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Zhao Han and Lin Zinuo were both shocked.

Offset the debt?

“Cough cough, there’s no need to rush to offset the debt.

Look at you, you don’t have much money on you.

Take this sum and spend it!

As for that debt, you don’t have to worry about it…”

Zhao Han’s smile was strained as she tried to persuade him.

After all, 500,000 was a huge sum of money!

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Only a fool would use it to pay off debts.

“It’s fine, I don’t really need to spend money.”

“Come on, how can you not need money?

Living expenses in the Imperial City are so high.

Plus, you’re at the prime of youth; you need money for making friends and going out.”

“Sister Zhao Han is right.”

Lin Zinuo and Zhao Han kept urging Su Mo to take the cheque.

If they let Su Mo offset his debt, he might just take off.

Su Mo frowned slightly.

He wasn’t the least bit interested.

What did he need so much money for?

He came here to experience a new life.

Suddenly, Su Mo remembered something and spoke up, “I don’t want this money.

If I can choose my reward, I’d like to ask for something else.”

“Huh?

What do you want?”

Lin Zinuo and Zhao Han looked at Su Mo, puzzled.

Su Mo calmly said, “I want that second-generation Azure Mecha.”

If Su Mo remembered correctly, all high-end equipment obtained by the guild during pioneering should be handed over and distributed by the guild.

It wasn’t automatically one’s own, as was detailed in the contract.

Hearing Su Mo’s request, Zhao Han also appeared slightly taken aback and fell into thought.

Su Mo’s heart couldn’t help but rise.

He tentatively asked, “Is there a problem?”

At that moment, Zhao Han slapped her hand on the table and assured Su Mo with conviction.

“What problem could there be?

Now that you’ve requested it, any problem has to be resolved.”

Hearing this, Su Mo inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.

Getting the mecha was all that mattered.

“However, just giving you the mecha seems a bit sparse for a reward.

How about this: I’ll make the decision, and besides the mecha, I’ll give you an additional hundred thousand in cash compensation.”

Zhao Han generously offered.

“Just apply the money towards my debt,” Su Mo replied, sticking to his sentiment.

Zhao Han was helpless with Su Mo’s refusal, and she amiably tried to persuade him, “Come on, a grown man should have some money on him.

What does it look like to be penniless?

Plus, you’re working now, you should send some money home so that your family knows you’re earning.

They won’t worry about you then!

If you’re concerned about the debt, rest assured, there’s no rush to repay it.

You can settle it any time.”

“No need, just pay it off,” Su Mo insisted on his own idea.

Zhao Han was at a loss.

She quickly shot an imploring look at Lin Zinuo.
