Chapter 1 A Satisfactory Solution

Su Mo didn't waste words with him. He said to Lei Jiang directly, "It's not that I don't support the higher-ups' plans and decisions. But everything needs to be handled properly. There are so many tenants here, you need to give them a satisfactory solution. I don't care how much money I get as compensation. What I care about is simple: how to properly resettle all my tenants. The interstellar airport won't be built in a day. There will definitely be a process. You guys go back and think about it carefully and give me a satisfactory plan."

In Su Mo's eyes, all the money in the world was just useless paper and data. He had feelings for the tenants here, more or less. He couldn't bear to watch them being driven out and becoming homeless.

Maybe some people can't understand, but changing perspectives might help.

"Mr. Su Mo, this..."

Lei Jiang's expression was as if he had eaten dung. Resettling so many people properly? That was going to kill him.

"Don't say anything else to me. The conflict before is over. You should pay what you owe and apologize for what you did. But if you mess around again before giving a reasonable plan, don't blame me for suing you directly. Then, not only will you be facing a lawsuit, but you can forget about demolishing this land."

Su Mo stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone calm, but exceptionally firm.

Lei Jiang replied bitterly, "Mr. Su Mo, we understand..."

Su Mo turned his head and said to the dark mass of neighbors behind him, "Everyone, go home. Don't gather here."

"Okay."

Everyone responded, and the dark crowd began to disperse.

Zhou Kui looked at Lei Jiang.

"Director Lei, what should we do now?"

"What do you mean, what should we do? Withdraw all the construction equipment. Don't start any more conflicts until an agreement is reached."

Lei Jiang scolded impatiently.

"Okay, okay..."

Zhou Kui replied quickly.

After a while, the people on both sides had mostly retreated, and Uncle Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

He said apologetically to Su Mo, "I'm sorry for calling you back on such short notice. Did it interfere with anything you were doing?"

Su Mo shook his head and replied, "It's okay. I was planning to come back anyway."

"You're not going back to the Imperial Capital?"

"Not for the time being. I'll go back and visit when things are settled here and I have some free time."

Su Mo looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital and sighed.

At this moment, Uncle Li also walked over. He said with a smile, "It's good that you're staying. Su Mo, in the time you've been gone, I've expanded the internet cafe as you instructed, and business is pretty good. If you're bored, you can come to the internet cafe and surf the web. The game pod you asked for has been kept all this time. It's too lonely being at home alone. You'll get lonely after a long time. It's better to come to the internet cafe. The atmosphere is lively, and you won't be bored."

"Okay!"

Su Mo thought for a moment and agreed.

Uncle Li was very happy when he heard Su Mo agree. He hadn't had much hope originally.

He didn't expect Su Mo to be willing to come out.

"That's great. I'll go back and get ready for you."

"Don't go to so much trouble. How about this, since I also have a share in this Xingyou Cafe, and I'm free anyway, why don't I be a laid-back internet cafe attendant and lend a hand?"

Su Mo said.

"You're not going to play games?"

Uncle Li was also slightly taken aback.

"My game is dead."

Su Mo explained.

"Look at my memory, Star Ring games are indeed not like ordinary games. The death rate is too high, but it doesn't matter. Watching others play is the same."

Uncle Li quickly comforted Su Mo. He could clearly feel that Su Mo was different from before, much more cheerful.

"I know."

.........

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

A few days later, Su Mo sat at the bar inside the Kaiyuan Internet Cafe.

The old internet cafe had now been renovated with a completely new look.

Rows of helmet machines were arranged neatly, and when Uncle Li renovated the internet cafe, he had also specially referred to the Xingyou Cafe next door, and installed a small holographic projection device in the center to broadcast various Star Ring battle images and celebrity streamer images in real time.

Although this internet cafe was much smaller than the one across the street, it was cheaper, so the popularity it gathered was extremely strong.

"Too cool!"

A burst of excited cheers rang out.

Su Mo subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the video on the central projection screen.

At this time, it was playing the combat footage of Li Dongen, a professional player from the Gao Li Guild, who was piloting a second-generation Cheetah mech.

His operation was also as smooth as flowing water.

The Cheetah mech shuttled through the alien monster群, and the alloy blade in his hand was like a harvester, reaping the lives of the monsters along the way.

Blood splattered everywhere.

In the corner of the projection image was a brief introduction of Li Dongen's information and resume.

Li Dongen is the captain of the First Ace Mech Brigade of the Gao Li Guild.

Famous battle record: In the Battle of Huangshi Base, he once killed seven elite-level Type II alien monsters and one general-level Type III alien monster with his own strength, laying the cornerstone for the Gao Li Guild to capture Huangshi Base. He is known as the Hunter.

Immediately afterwards, the central image changed again.

A hot and sexy girl appeared, piloting a Type III mech, the Gale Mech.

She fell straight from the sky into the tide of monsters.

The sharp镰刀 she wielded swept across, and swaths of alien monsters were cut in half like tofu.

A large vacuum area was immediately cleared from the dark battlefield.

....

The crowd of onlookers let out excited shouts.

"Kasari!!!"

Kasari, Captain of the Second Ace Army Mech Brigade of the Violent Bear Guild.

Title: Blood Harvester.

Famous battle record: In the Blackwater Battlefield, he slaughtered 162 mechs of the Mythology Guild with his own strength, and then went to the Blackwater Land and killed 3 Type III general-level alien monsters and 32 Type III elite-level monsters with his own strength....

....

Su Mo lowered his head and continued to browse the forum website. With the opening of the Earth Cup, the Star Ring game also reached a new climax.

At the same time, the Federal Council announced the declaration of the Alliance of Offense and Defense. All internal battles were cancelled, so the surviving free players all joined forces with the regular army编队.

They therefore obtained first-hand information, and the historical battle records of official professional personnel from various guilds were revealed one after another.

The original battle leaderboard only had free player experts, but now they have basically been brushed down by professional players and the regular army.

After all, compared to the combat skills of professional personnel, free players are extremely mediocre. Take Li Dongen as an example, the ace pilot of the Gao Li Guild. Although he can't compare to the ace pilots of the Tianlong Guild and the Free Victory Guild, he can still overwhelm the top free players, and he is not comparable to ordinary celebrity streamers.

This strong sense of gap instantly ignited the national star-chasing craze, and countless players found new idols.

Unfortunately, Su Mo was not interested at all. He continued to search the forum for information about the Dawn Guild.

However, the search results made Su Mo frown.

He couldn't find any related videos or information at all. It seemed that Qian Chengxue and the others were following the Tianlong Guild, and all the information was being concealed.
