Chapter 125 - Mission Added for Alliance Leader Jian Yanru You_Yin Yu Erlai 29th update

Su Mo tried swinging it a few times, and it felt great in his hand, so he decided to buy a spare and thus asked,

“How much are you selling it for?”

The man with the little mustache who was selling the Alloy Titanium Knife rubbed his hands together and chuckled, “The gentleman really has an eye for quality.

This weapon is a limited edition, but since we are so fated, it’s very cheap, only 10,000.”

Su Mo said firmly.

“Bro, nobody bargains like this.

This is standard solo equipment, and it’s the most top-notch at the moment.”

“Who would use this instead of a gun?

If it were that good, it would have been sold already.”

Su Mo shot back directly.

“Er, brother, you make a fair point, but your price cut is way too ridiculous.

I can give you a 20% discount at most.”

“Too expensive…”

Su Mo replied.

In the past, he would have bought it without a second thought.

The problem was that he really didn’t have the money; he barely had over 2,000 on him.

“7,000, that’s my limit.

Really can’t go lower than that.”

The man with the little mustache looked as if he was in great pain.

Just as Su Mo and the man were haggling back and forth intensely, a hurried panting sound came from a distance.

“Su Mo!”

Su Mo stopped and turned his head to see Lin Zinuo running over, gasping for air.

“Lin Zinuo?

What happened to you?”

“Nonsense, I am here looking for you.

That Qin Wang really knows how to stir up trouble, why did he send you into the city.”

Lin Zinuo felt like smacking Qin Wang.

“Let’s talk about it in a bit, I need to buy something first.”

Su Mo turned his head, ready to continue bargaining.

However, a dramatic scene unfolded.

The little mustache man, looking very guilty after seeing Lin Zinuo, sneakily rolled up his goods on the ground, ready to take off.

“Zhang Ziniu, you plan to scam our people again?”

Lin Zinuo looked at him and said unhappily.

“Ah, isn’t this Sister Zinuo?

You’re wronging me here.

Even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn’t dare to scam you all!”

“Yeah right, Su Mo, what are you buying?”

“The Alloy Titanium Knife.”

Su Mo said calmly.

“How much?”

Lin Zinuo looked over with a suspicious gaze.

“500 bucks.”

Zhang Ziniu immediately held up a hand.

“That’s too expensive,”

Lin Zinuo responded without hesitation.

Zhang Ziniu looked like he was about to cry as he pleaded, “Sister Zinuo, I really can’t make it any cheaper.

It’s truly a good item, even acquiring it involved a mix of deceiving and threatening, and it cost me 450…”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched incessantly, realizing that even if he had gone for ten times the price, it would have been a loss.

“Alright, we’ll take this weapon.

Leave your card number.

And if you scam any of our people again, don’t even think about hanging around here anymore.”

Lin Zinuo directly tossed the Alloy Titanium Knife to Su Mo.

“Alright!

Then I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Zhang Ziniu hastily left a card number on a note and ran faster than a rabbit, his legs carrying him swiftly.

Lin Zinuo said to Su Mo, “Try not to buy anything around here; the people are incredibly sly.”

“Hmm, what did you need from me?”

Su Mo looked at Lin Zinuo very puzzled.

At this point, Lin Zinuo’s expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

She coughed and said seriously, “There is a very important mission that I need you to handle.”

“What mission?”

Su Mo was even more surprised.

Was there really a mission just for him, and it sounded so serious?

Could it be something very important?

“Running errands, just follow me first.”

Lin Zinuo spoke.

After hearing this, Su Mo was also speechless, but he did not complain.

Soon after, Lin Zinuo took Su Mo back to the camp and to the hangar.

There, Su Mo’s Mecha was sitting quietly, all the repair tools were taken away, and Qin Wang was nowhere to be seen.

Also, in front of the Mecha, there was a 2M*2M metal box, very securely sealed.

“This?”

“You need to escort this box to the Observation Base in the Northwest Region, which is a very important military base under our Legion.

Originally, this task was meant for someone else, but considering your Mecha’s ammunition is almost spent and there’s not much fuel left, and there’s no compatible supply here.

It happens that the base has what’s needed, so I thought of having you escort it and refuel there.”

Lin Zinuo briefly explained the situation to Su Mo.

After listening, Su Mo nodded slightly and replied, “Okay.”

“This is the route map to the Observation Military Base, and you can be assured that this map has been surveyed and cleared.

There’s a very low probability of encountering dangers along the way, but do take care and make sure not to lose this very important box.”

Lin Zinuo took out a simple map from her pocket and handed it to Su Mo.

“I remember the last time we went to pick up supplies, you said the same thing.”

“…That was an accident, hopefully, we won’t be that unlucky this time.”

Lin Zinuo’s face was slightly unable to hide her embarrassment.

Su Mo wasn’t too bothered; he climbed straight onto the Mecha, opened the cockpit, and crawled inside.

Su Mo quickly started up the Azure Mecha, and its eyes lit up as the whole Mecha began to move.

Su Mo operated the Mecha to move it around a bit; he frowned slightly, the Mecha was still not completely repaired.

Especially the left arm, which was still somewhat stiff.

However, it was still okay.

Normal use in the short term should not be a big problem.

Su Mo picked up the metal box he was to transport.

“I’m leaving.”

“Be careful on the way.”

Lin Zinuo waved goodbye to Su Mo.

Su Mo, not dallying, drove the Mecha away.

His journey to the Observation Base wasn’t too far, just a few hundred kilometers.

At the speed of the Mecha, he estimated that he would arrive by dawn.

The only trouble was that it was getting dark, making nighttime operations a bit riskier.

Daunting as it was, Su Mo was not particularly worried.

Operating a second-generation Mecha solo, even if he encountered a large group of monsters, he was confident in breaking through.

Not to mention that this route was relatively safe.

Hours later, on the dark mountain road, Su Mo drove his Mecha steadily forward.

Since leaving, Su Mo found that he was becoming more willing to talk; he was no longer as withdrawn as before.

His communication had improved significantly; at least he didn’t find speaking bothersome anymore, perhaps due to the influence of the surroundings.

He occasionally glanced at the simple map, having covered almost half of the distance.

He expected to arrive at the Observation Military Base by the latter half of the night.

The journey had been very smooth so far, and they hadn’t encountered any monsters.

Naturally, Su Mo was curious.

What exactly was inside that metal box he was carrying?

It felt very important.

Just as Su Mo was mulling over it, his pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes catching a movement in the distant woods out of the corner of his eye.

There seemed to be a disturbance there, far away.

He could see some birds startled into flight, moving in the same direction as him.

It looked like they were tracking him, yet his radar had given no warning.
