Chapter 1849 - 1477: Taking a Master
At that moment, Su Mo’s bracelet kept vibrating, and several messages popped up.Su Mo glanced at them and then said to Long Ke.
"You go down first, come back if there’s any issue."
"Okay!"
Long Ke quickly exited.
Su Mo raised his bracelet, opened the popping messages, feeling a bit excited himself.
"Dear Lord Su Mo, congratulations on completing the Thunder Base support mission, hereby rewarding you with 5 million merit points."
"Dear Lord Su Mo, congratulations on completing the Fallen Emperor mission, hereby rewarding you with 1.5 billion merit, 1 trillion Star Coins."
"Dear Lord Su Mo, due to your outstanding performance, your position is promoted from Major General to Vice Admiral."
"Dear Lord Su Mo, due to your excellent performance in this war, you have been specially awarded by Star Ring City with a splendid Diamond Badge."
"Dear Lord Su Mo and others, the Resource Star numbered KS-03 you occupied is now under your jurisdiction."
"Dear Lord Su Mo, all spoils from your victories preserve for you, please clear them promptly to avoid unnecessary losses."
...
Looking at these reward settlement messages popping up, Su Mo was quite satisfied and couldn’t help but say.
"The rewards are very generous."
"Hmph, just so-so."
The Creator · Swallower replied disdainfully.
"Haha, you’re being typical prideful now. You didn’t have this attitude towards these rewards before, actually, these rewards are pretty generous, really."
Su Mo was already very satisfied with these rewards.
The Creator · Swallower didn’t bother to say more.
Su Mo stretched lazily, then stood up, turned to look at the insulated box placed beside him, picked it up, and walked out.
"Where are you going?"
The Creator · Swallower asked in a deep voice.
"You’ll see in a moment."
Su Mo strolled away.
...
Not long after, Su Mo appeared on a bustling street of the Third Ring of Star Ring City.
The street was bustling, with people chatting and laughing everywhere.
Moreover, one could see that contracted staff were hanging various decorations on the street lamps and the walls of the shops on both sides.
Su Mo strolled along the street, looking at the lively scene, feeling a bit out of place for a moment.
At this moment, a pair of lovers walked past Su Mo, discussing the latest news enthusiastically.
"This big opening is simply awesome."
"It’s absolutely amazing, didn’t you see those expert evaluations? All economic indicators are soaring?"
"Yeah, I heard that in a few days, Star Ring City is going to hold a big celebration?"
"That’s right, to celebrate this rare victory and the arrival of a new era."
"Wouldn’t it be lively then, I want to see it live?"
"I’ll try to find a way."
...
Su Mo glanced at the young couple and then continued walking forward.
Not long after, Su Mo arrived at the entrance of a remote grocery store.
In a good mood, he had just stepped into the grocery store when he heard a familiar coughing sound.
The old man stood behind the counter, head bowed, coughing.
"Coughing again? You’re still not better! I have some medicine here; it’s very effective."
Su Mo walked up to the counter with a grin, opened the insulated box, and placed the bowl of medicine on the table while joking.
The old man glanced at it, speaking coldly.
"Do you think any medicine can cure my illness?"
"Don’t be skeptical. This is good stuff; it works superbly. Why don’t you believe me, or are you afraid I might poison you?"
Su Mo said with a chuckle.
Before Su Mo could react, the old man directly picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all down.
Su Mo was dumbfounded and said,
"You really drank it, aren’t you afraid it’s poisoned?"
The old man looked at Su Mo as if he were an idiot.
"Do you think I’d be afraid?"
"No, I haven’t even told you about the effects and side effects yet."
"Hmph, it’s not too late to say now."
The old man said calmly.
"Alright, this is really good stuff; it’s a special potion developed by the Divine Race, the Magic Moon Flower. It’s particularly effective against Negative Energy Pollution. Look, after drinking it, the Polluted Blood Stain on me is almost gone."
Su Mo didn’t joke with the old man anymore and quickly introduced it to him.
Hearing Su Mo’s words, the originally expressionless face of the old man slightly changed.
He directly reached out with his withered hand, grabbed Su Mo’s hand, and pulled it over to examine it closely.
"Hey, easy, your strength is more than average."
Su Mo said with a wry smile, not being pretentious, but the old man’s strength was on par with a Monster’s.
The old man ignored Su Mo, staring at his arm, looking at the nearly disappearing Polluted Blood Stain, his face contorting, then letting out a sound more dreadful than crying.
"Haha, truly chosen, truly chosen!"
Seeing the old man like this, Su Mo was also startled.
"Old man, what’s happened to you? Old man?"
The old man did not answer Su Mo but gripped his wrist tighter, his expression becoming more mournful and desolate.
After a long while, he gradually regained his composure, released his grip, and said expressionlessly.
"It’s nothing."
Su Mo was helpless too, the old man’s mood changed faster than flipping a book, truly unpredictable, and did not delve into the matter further.
"Alright, did you call me here for something?"
The old man was silent for a few seconds and then handed a list to Su Mo.
"I need these materials. Have someone send them over along with the Stone Tablet, name your price."
Su Mo took a look, the quantity wasn’t small, curiously asking.
"What do you need these materials for?"
"What’s the use of asking so much, just name your price."
The old man coldly replied.
"Can I not want money?"
"Then what do you want?"
"I don’t want anything other than for you to take me as your disciple; you can take whatever you like."
Su Mo said very earnestly.
After hearing Su Mo’s words, the old man uncharacteristically fell silent, his expression shifting, finally raising his head to look at Su Mo and replied.
"Alright."
"Master!"
Seeing the old man agree, Su Mo took a step back, knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowed three times to the old man, and called out.
The old man said hoarsely,
"Get up."
Su Mo stood up in high spirits, asking the old man curiously.
"By the way, Master, I still don’t know your name."
The old man was silent for a while, finally said, "You can call me Chadley."
Hearing the old man’s answer, Su Mo was very surprised, feeling something was off, but he didn’t ask further, just replied.
"Alright."
The old man then said to Su Mo, "Do you have more of this potion?"
"Yes, but it’s not as effective. This one is made from the Mother Flower. If you want more, Master, I’ll bring you some more later."
Su Mo quickly explained.
"Okay."
The old man nodded slightly, not being polite with Su Mo.
However, at this moment, Su Mo kept staring at the old man intently as if trying to see something.
The old man frowned and asked coldly.
"Why are you staring at me?"
