She didn't expect Su Mo's strength to be so formidable. How could even someone like Lan Xi latch onto such a powerhouse, while she couldn't?

In an instant, Tang Zhi felt that the backer she had wasn't so appealing anymore.

"Congratulations!"

After their initial shock, Qiang Hua and the others sincerely congratulated Lan Xi.

Lan Xi bowed to Qiang Hua and the others once more. She wiped her tears and said earnestly, "I will cherish this opportunity and earn as much as possible. I will share the future profits with you."

"Don't mention it. We old guys won't freeload. You don't have to worry about us. But if you feel bad, we won't return the compensation money. Just consider it as you treating us to a meal."

"Okay, thank you. Then I'll go online."

"Go ahead! Don't worry about anything else."

Qiang Hua said to Lan Xi.

Lan Xi nodded emphatically, then, ignoring the discussions around her, she ran towards the machine room on the second floor.

-------------------------------------------------------

On the ruins of the collapsed gymnasium, a Black Steel Envoy knelt on one knee, its cockpit open. Su Mo stood at the edge of the cockpit. He picked up a bottle, tilted it slightly, and a Fire Seed dropped directly into the center of a tattered corpse.

Instantly, the broken bones floated up, and the Fire Seed blazed fiercely, the ruined bones regenerating at a visible speed.

In just a few seconds, the bones were restored to their original state! Then, Lan Xi's body began to etherealize, waiting for her consciousness to go online.

Su Mo waited patiently with his arms crossed.

Time passed, second by second, and who knew how long it had been.

The ethereal, floating Lan Xi suddenly opened her eyes. Her body materialized again, and she looked at her body with reddened eyes.

"Welcome back to the team."

Su Mo said calmly.

Lan Xi raised her head, looked at Su Mo standing on the mecha, and gave a brilliant smile.

"Yeah, I'm back."

Su Mo jumped down and landed in front of Lan Xi, extending his hand.

"Let's go!"

"Okay..."

......

In the evening, in the verdant park in the suburbs of the Imperial City, Su Mo sat on a bench, closing his eyes and waiting quietly.

"Big Brother! We're here."

Sun Duo Xiang arrived with Zhang Hao and Ma Ke.

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded slightly in response.

"Big Brother, I've taken care of the things you told me to do. Are we leaving right away?"

Sun Duo Xiang asked impatiently.

"What's the rush? Someone else hasn't arrived yet."

Su Mo replied calmly.

"Ah? Who else is coming?"

Sun Duo Xiang was slightly taken aback. Was someone else participating? He suddenly felt a little nervous. Was a whole bunch of people going to show up? He wondered if they would be easy to get along with.

Just then, Lan Xi ran over, panting, and said apologetically, "Sorry, the traffic was a bit heavy."

Not long ago, Su Mo had resurrected Lan Xi and taken her away from that small city.

He had told Lan Xi to gather at Verdant Park, and then the two of them logged off at the same time.

"Lan Xi! Long time no see. How have you been lately?"

When Sun Duo Xiang saw Lan Xi, the anxiety he had been feeling immediately dissipated, and he asked enthusiastically.

Ma Ke scratched his head and asked with low emotional intelligence, "I remember Sister Lan Xi already died in action. Why is she participating in the mission with us?"

"If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything. Why poke at old wounds?"

Sun Duo Xiang said to Ma Ke in annoyance. Was this guy an idiot? Why bring up things that should be left unsaid?

"It's okay, I've been resurrected."

Lan Xi replied with a smile.

"Ah! You've been resurrected? Which big shot resurrected you? Don't you know how precious a Fire Seed is these days?"

Sun Duo Xiang was completely dumbfounded. He felt it was incredible.

"Su Mo resurrected me."

Lan Xi explained happily.

Sun Duo Xiang and the other two turned their heads to look at Su Mo, their eyes shining. Too awesome!

"Boss, you're indeed the boss. Please accept my respect. I'm yours in life and in death."

"Get lost~"

"Yes, sir!"

Sun Duo Xiang quickly moved aside.

Su Mo coughed, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Alright, everyone's here. Let's talk business. Our mission this time is very clear: to explore that bio-facility. How's the preparation I asked you to do going?"

A slightly guilty look appeared on Sun Duo Xiang's face, and he replied awkwardly, "Boss, regarding the things for exploring the bio-lab, we tried to collect them, but those things are really too scarce."

"Never mind. What about the things I asked you to do not long ago?"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. We can leave at any time."

"Okay, have you all taken leave? This private mission has uncertain risks and uncertain difficulty, so the time it takes is also uncertain."

Su Mo asked one by one.

"No problem."

Lan Xi and the other four didn't hesitate at all!

"Then let's set off."

"Okay, my van is parked outside..."

Sun Duo Xiang's face was full of excitement. He had been feeling depressed for a while, and he had finally waited for his chance to turn things around.

Soon, the group left the park and got into Sun Duo Xiang's van.

Sun Duo Xiang slammed on the accelerator, and the van sped away. Soon after, they stopped in front of a huge Star Game Cafe.

The entrance to this Star Game Cafe was very lively, with many players making reservations.

"There are so many people."

Lan Xi replied in surprise. She remembered that when she used to play, Star Ring wasn't so ridiculously popular. How many days had it been?

"It's not just a lot of people, it's a crazy amount of people, but don't worry. The internet cafe manager is very familiar with me. I've already greeted him in advance and reserved a private room."

Sun Duo Xiang patted his chest and guaranteed.

"Let's go in."

Su Mo nodded slightly. Sun Duo Xiang was quite reliable in handling things.

So the five of them got out of the van and walked towards the Star Game Cafe, passing through the dense crowd and stepping into the Star Game Cafe.

A burst of enthusiastic and excited shouts rang out.

A holographic Star Ring image was being projected in the huge Star Game Cafe lobby.

Hundreds of players were crowded around watching.

In the video, a nimble cyan mecha was running quickly in a ruined city, with a group of hideous, crawling mutant monsters chasing after it. The more advanced crawling mutant monsters could even crawl on the walls of the buildings as if walking on flat ground.

They followed the walls of the buildings on both sides to catch up with the cyan mecha, and then pounced down.

But the cyan mecha seemed to have eyes on the back of its head, predicting the monsters that were jumping down and dodging in advance.

The monsters that pounced down all missed.

The scene was extremely thrilling! Everyone's hearts were in their throats, secretly sweating for him.

"Wow, so awesome! As expected of Wang Feng, the great god!"

Sun Duo Xiang also exclaimed in admiration.

"You know him?"

Su Mo asked with some curiosity. This person's skills were very good, and his combat instincts were also very strong.

"Big Brother, who doesn't know him? He's a famous god, and he's also a VIP at this Star Game Cafe."

Sun Duo Xiang explained to Su Mo.
