391: Chapter 391 Progress 391: Chapter 391 Progress At night, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo returned home.
Lin Zinuo threw himself onto the sofa, completely exhausted, especially his feet, which were almost numb.
“I’m so tired, I’m never going to those kinds of banquets again,” he said.
“Just rest a bit; if it’s really bad, you can take a day off,” Su Mo suggested as he saw Lin Zinuo was really worn out.
At that moment, Lin Zinuo’s phone buzzed.
She instinctively picked it up, glanced at it, and then ran toward her room.
Su Mo asked, puzzled.
“The Joint Forces have reached the Lost Continent.
I have to get online quickly, get ready to log in.
I can’t talk now,” Lin Zinuo replied as she dashed into her room and hurriedly grabbed the helmet she had brought with her to make do for now.
Watching Lin Zinuo’s flustered actions, Su Mo shook his head helplessly and walked toward the bathroom to wash up before heading to his room to rest.
After a short while, Su Mo, having washed up, lay in bed, picked up his phone to briefly browse through the forums, and checked the latest progress of the Earth Cup.
To his shock, Independent Traveler players, taking advantage of the Joint Forces landing, had surged forward en masse to engage in the landing battle.
The entire Star Ring World was in fierce combat, with an incredibly soaring death rate.
Moreover, many players from the Joint Forces who had died leaked images and videos from the main battlefield showing two Type IV Alien Species Monsters at the heart of the enemy’s group, each towering over fifty to sixty meters.
Their inherent, special ET force fields immunized them against all ranged attacks, rendering them like deities, instantly disintegrating any player who tried to block their path.
Watching these images, Su Mo sighed softly.
Truthfully, he felt some regret at not participating in this grand battle.
But, that’s life, isn’t it?
Su Mo then browsed other news.
Since many players had previously logged in, the Lost Continent was no longer a mystery.
According to frontline intelligence gathered by players, the whole Lost Continent was a mechanical land, or more accurately, a pile of mechanical remnants.
Even an expert had proposed a startling conjecture, which won the approval of many.
This expert believed that the Lost Continent was part of the remnants of a mechanical space fortress belonging to a certain civilization, which, after the fortress had fallen, had parts of it crash down into this world.
Additionally, it was likely that it was destroyed by Alien Species, hence why, when it shattered, it brought a significant number of Alien Species Monsters; this explained the abundance of such monsters here.
Therefore, many players believed that at the heart of the Lost Continent, there must be technologies capable of elevating a civilization’s level.
Thinking this, countless organizations and capital groups went absolutely wild.
Even if they couldn’t obtain the most advanced technology, just acquiring some high-level civilization residuals would set them up for life.
After browsing through the progress of the Star Ring development, Su Mo once again opened the trading section to check the transaction records for gold points and silver points to see if the prices had dropped.
As Su Mo expected, the prices hadn’t dropped; rather, they had firmed even more, continuing to soar!
Seeing such high prices, some civilian capital organizations, scared of a market crash, started selling their inventory, but as soon as they did, it was completely snapped up.
The entire market for gold points and silver points virtually only absorbed and never discharged.
Seeing this, Su Mo became more convinced that the biggest backstage boss purchasing gold and silver points must be the Federation Council.
Only they had the boldness and strength to keep purchasing as prices soared.
Su Mo’s expression changed as he decided to observe a little longer.
He would wait for the role of the gold and silver points to be announced before deciding his next move.
After all, he was left alone in life, and material things had become almost irrelevant to him.
Even if he lost the bet, what of it?
After all, when he left this world, he couldn’t take it with him, so it would only add to his worries for nothing.
The next morning, Su Mo got up, washed up, and seeing that Lin Zinuo’s door was still closed, he knew without thinking that she must have played late into the night, maybe even all night.
Thus, Su Mo sat on the sofa and waited a while.
Around eleven o’clock, he saw that Lin Zinuo still hadn’t come out and walked to her door to knock.
Let me sleep a bit more if it’s nothing urgent,” Lin Zinuo groaned from behind the door.
Lin Zinuo, dressed in pajamas and looking sluggish, opened the door and said groggily.
“Weren’t we supposed to take your parents out for dinner?”
Su Mo reminded her with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zinuo suddenly perked up.
“What time is it now?”
“Oh no, I’m going to be late, just wait for me.”
Lin Zinuo instantly became flustered.
Su Mo helplessly shook his head…..
Soon after, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo, now changed, took a car to a well-reputed Chinese restaurant in the center of Demon City.
Su Mo had already reserved a table in advance.
Lin Zinuo hurriedly opened the car door and urged Su Mo.
“Hurry up, hurry up, we’re going to be late.”
“No need to rush, we’re already late.”
Su Mo revealed a helpless smile as he immediately saw Lin Wei and Lin He standing at the restaurant entrance.
Lin Wei was the typical old-fashioned intellectual, extremely principled and methodical in everything he did, so for a lunch scheduled at noon, he had arrived half an hour early at eleven thirty.
“It’s all over, why didn’t you call me earlier?”
Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with a resentful face.
Su Mo simply smiled wryly; he had thought letting her sleep a bit more was enough, timing-wise, but he hadn’t expected the other party to arrive early. Newest update provided by NovєlFіre.net
“There’s a next time?”
Lin Zinuo glared fiercely at Su Mo, feeling embarrassed enough already.
Despite the complaints, Lin Zinuo and Su Mo still went over.
“Mom and Dad, I overslept…”
Lin Zinuo began awkwardly explaining.
Lin Wei didn’t say much, he merely stated in a somber tone, “Let’s go inside.”
Su Mo nodded and responded.
Soon, the four of them were seated in a quiet private room, and Su Mo ordered some of the restaurant’s specialty dishes; of course, he didn’t order too much, as they couldn’t eat it all.
At the dinner table, the four of them ate without speaking, creating a strange atmosphere.
Su Mo wasn’t very good at making conversation, and Lin Wei, because of the earlier incident, felt quite awkward.
Seeing this, Lin Zinuo took the lead in breaking the silence with a smile, “Mom and Dad, what brought you to Demon City all of a sudden?”
Lin He happily responded, “Well, they’re building an interstellar airport here in Demon City, and your dad is one of the technical leaders.
He just took a consulting job here while trying to have a medical check-up.”
Su Mo was quite surprised, “While Demon City’s medical standards are not bad, aren’t those in Imperial City better?”
“You’re right, but there are exceptions.
Demon City’s First Central Hospital has a very advanced device that even Imperial City’s hospitals don’t have.
And that’s not even the most important part.
The most crucial point is that Doctor Xiao Fang from the Central Hospital is a top expert in the world of neurology.”
