Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 232 - 232 232 Rewards Second Update

232: Chapter 232: Rewards (Second Update) 232: Chapter 232: Rewards (Second Update) “Are you out of your mind?

Why do you think we’ve welcomed so many independent travelers before?

On one hand, it was to incorporate new blood, and on the other hand, it was to collect supplies from them.

Obviously, now both purposes are moot; we’re about to layoff our own people, there’s no blood to be incorporated.

Also, without financial support from above, there’s no point in collecting supplies.”

As the vice director of the logistics team, Lin Zinuo knew better than anyone the severity of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo also felt it was quite troublesome.

The Dawn Guild’s Tenth Legion might truly be doomed.

They had just found a suitable place to settle, and the relationships on all fronts were managed well, only to be potentially ruined now.

“We’ll block the soldiers with generals, and stem the water with earth, let’s think of something else.”

Su Mo simply replied.

“Think of what?

We can’t even afford to repair The Crane Orchid now.”

Lin Zinuo felt like crying, her The Crane Orchid.

Su Mo didn’t respond to Lin Zinuo but stared at the independent players being dismissed, lost in thought.

Two days later (in game time), more than ninety percent of the independent players in Dawn City were expelled, turning the once bustling city much quieter instantly.

At this time, Qian Chengxue said to Sun Li and others, “All team leaders and deputy team leaders, as well as senior management, go off-line to the meeting room for a personnel meeting, everyone else stick to your duties!”

“Understood.”

Sun Li and the others looked stern; what was expected had still come.

Though Qian Chengxue didn’t say anything explicitly, everyone was aware that there simply wasn’t enough money to go around anymore.

Su Mo didn’t log off, as this personnel meeting didn’t much concern him.

However, he was also feeling a bit of a headache now, with such a significant change happening, and his Black Steel Envoy Mecha was destroyed, giving him a sense of being trapped in a dead-end.

Thinking this, Su Mo looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds packed the sky, looking like it might rain soon.

…

As evening came, Su Mo opened his eyes, sat up, and took off his helmet.

He stared at the helmet in his hands, zoning out, feeling somehow uncomfortable.

Just then, Su Mo’s cellphone began to buzz.

Buzz, buzz.

Su Mo came to his senses, picked up his phone to see the caller ID, his expression shifted.

He then answered and walked outside the Mecha room.

“Hello…”

…

—————————————

In an unassuming shop in Imperial City, Su Mo and Chen Shan sat opposite each other, cheap white liquor and a stewed chicken between them.

Now familiar with each other, Su Mo didn’t restrain himself; he picked up a piece of chicken.

Chen Shan poured Su Mo a glass of white liquor, smiling as he spoke.

“Here, let’s have a toast.”

“Sure.”

Su Mo raised his glass to clink with Chen Shan’s, and downed it in one gulp.

“Refreshing!

Little brother, this is for you.”

Saying this, Chen Shan took out a document envelope from beside him and handed it to Su Mo.

“What’s this?”

“It’s your reward for the data you submitted last time.”

Chen Shan said, still smiling.

Su Mo opened the document bag and took out two items, a certificate of award, and a cash check for one hundred thousand.

Chen Shan coughed and said awkwardly to Su Mo, “The information you gave last time was very valuable, but this is all the reward we can give.

Don’t think it’s too little, brother.

The Sky Dragon Guild is also financially struggling; this is all we can afford to reward.

But rest assured, when the medication is developed, the contributors’ names will be mentioned.”

“I understand, no need to say more, I don’t care about those things.

If I did, I wouldn’t have handed it over.”

Su Mo didn’t care at all.

“Big-hearted!

I really didn’t misjudge you.

Although the reward you received is small, everyone will benefit.

The medication developed will also be provided to all our compatriots at a fair price.

They will also be able to use the cheapest medicines and earn money from abroad.”

Chen Shan said very happily.

“That’s good, let’s not talk about this matter now, I have something I need your help with.”

Su Mo looked up at Chen Shan very seriously.

Chen Shan was slightly startled, but then he patted his chest and promised, “Brother, just say it; as long as I can do it, there will be no objections!”

“Thank you, it’s like this…”

Su Mo lowered his voice and started discussing the details with Chen Shan…..

…

————————————-

The next day, Su Mo arrived at the company building.

As soon as he entered the building, he felt the atmosphere wasn’t quite right, missing the usual ease and joy, it had become very oppressive.

Everyone’s faces were filled with worry and panic.

Su Mo picked up his phone and checked the Legion group and sub-group chats.

“I heard that the Legion is going to adjust positions, is that true?”

“It’s true, I’ve already received the adjustment notice.

I’ve been transferred to work in the suburban factory, crying~~~”

“Hey, don’t blame Sister Xue.

I heard that the layoffs in the neighboring legion are terrifying.

They cut everyone off without even giving them a chance to transfer, just a small severance package to send them off.”

“That’s too much, weren’t there signed contracts?”

“You say that, but I found out later, the contracts signed by other legions are not the same as ours.

They can just terminate them and don’€™t really have to compensate much.

Plus, they confiscate all gaming revenues, leaving nothing behind.”

“That’s really too much.”

“Alright, no use talking more about it.

At least there’s some compensation, which is decent.

You haven’t seen the forums; it’s like a hornet’s nest.

Especially the guys next door, you have no idea how ruthless they are, unilaterally terminating contracts and even extorting money from people below them.

Such actions were exceedingly outrageous, causing many people to jump off buildings, and now it’s trending online.

I tell you, those are the real tycoons; we still have some integrity left.”

….

Su Mo scrolled through for a while, then casually opened the forum for a look.

He couldn’t help but twitch his eyelids—the number of posts had reached hundreds of millions, all of them complaining about the layoff storm.

It seemed they were not the only ones facing trouble.

Just then, a message tagged @everyone popped up on Su Mo’s chat app.

He opened it instinctively and saw that Qian Chengxue started speaking in the group.

“I’m very sorry, everyone, as you know, the Legion has encountered a major crisis with financial problems, and we must make some personnel adjustments.

But rest assured, we will not easily give up on any brother or sister; I will try to arrange for adjusted personnel to work under our industry’s name.

Moreover, we will provide a subsidy for the arranged personnel.

I believe that one day, we will overcome this difficulty.

Once the Earth Cup ends and the Heavenly Cup begins, perhaps our brothers and sisters can still fight side by side.

Here, I want to express my thanks and apologies to everyone.”

“Sister Xue, you don’t have to say that, we understand!

We know very well how good you are to us.”

“Yes, Sister Xue, you don’t need to blame yourself; you’ve done very well already.”

….

The originally gloomy crowd began speaking their piece.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore.

Tonight, I’ll treat everyone who is leaving or being relocated to dinner, just as a small token of my appreciation.”

Qian Chengxue said somewhat wearily.
