Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 237 - 237 237 Spoiled Vegetables Second Update

237: Chapter 237 Spoiled Vegetables (Second Update) 237: Chapter 237 Spoiled Vegetables (Second Update) Qian Chengxue hesitated for a moment, but eventually she nodded slightly, signaling her agreement.

Then she addressed everyone present.

“Eat if you should eat, drink if you should drink, I have some matters to tend to.”

“Understood.”

The crowd responded in unison.

Afterwards, Qian Chengxue and Ye Haitang walked out, with Sun Li hurriedly following suit.

A moment later, they arrived at Qian Chengxue’s office, where she politely asked.

“Sister, would you like something to drink?”

“No need, little sister.

I am here to persuade you, actually.

I heard you rejected the incorporation.”

“Yes.”

“Little sister, listen to your sister’s advice.

Don’t be foolish.

The Star Ring Game is not what it used to be.

Without subsidies, it’s a bottomless pit of money.

To put it bluntly, your family fortune isn’t enough to burn through, and you can’t even afford to repair The Crane Orchid now.

If you suffer more losses later, it will be even more unworthy.”

“Sister, I have made my decision on this matter.”

“Little sister, hear me out.

The rules of the Earth Cup make it impossible for us to win.

You know how strong those official guilds are, without me saying.

We are destined to change from being competitors to merely participants.

Frankly, my persistence is because I want to stay until the end and see if I can scrape an assist.”

Ye Haitang earnestly tried to convince her.

Qian Chengxue fell silent.

With genuine concern, Ye Haitang continued, “Little sister, I wouldn’t mislead you.

You need to cut your losses in time.

If you disband the Legion now and let me incorporate it, you can still recoup a lot of money.

That includes The Crane Orchid, for which I am willing to pay separately.

To speak bluntly, taking on these things is more likely a loss for me, because there’s always the chance they might suddenly become worthless in my hands one day.

But I’m willing to take that loss because I can afford it, even if it means bleeding heavily.

But these things shouldn’t matter to you.”

Qian Chengxue was somewhat moved when she heard Ye Haitang’s earnest persuasions.

She knew Ye Haitang was trying to win her over, but regardless, this sister had always treated her with relative courtesy and respect.

“Thank you, sister, but I am resolute.

Don’t bother to persuade me further, no matter what, I want to give it a try.”

Seeing how firm Qian Chengxue was, Ye Haitang said no more, though it was a pity that the recruitment had failed.

But at least Qian Chengxue hadn’t defected to Ye Wuheng’s side, and that was enough!

“All right, if that’s how you feel, little sister, I won’t insist any further.”

“Thank you.”

Qian Chengxue thanked her again.

Ye Haitang sighed softly and prepared to leave with her companions.

Just at that moment, Lin Zinuo, dragging Su Mo excitedly, rushed in.

She exclaimed to Qian Chengxue with excitement, “Sister Xue, great news!

We’ve taken Red Coral Bay Base.”

Lin Zinuo was completely oblivious to the fact that Ye Haitang and the others were also present.

The remark caught Ye Haitang and her companions off guard.

Could it be that Qian Chengxue still had energy left to start a base?

Indeed, not only were Ye Haitang and her people surprised, but even Qian Chengxue herself found it incredible.

“Zinuo, you’re not joking, right?

How could you possibly have taken down Red Coral Bay Base?”

“Exactly, it’s impossible!”

Sun Li also thought it was far-fetched, having personally attempted it with a team.

“I’m not joking, it’s all thanks to Su Mo.”

Lin Zinuo, brimming with excitement, pointed at Su Mo.

Su Mo, on the other hand, was somewhat embarrassed by the situation—sharing good news was fine, but why drag him into it?

“Wait, I’m not doubting Su Mo’s strength, but the base is teeming with monsters.

It’s not something one person can handle.”

Sun Li was putting it mildly.

Had Lin Zinuo been referring to anyone else, she might have already dismissed the person as delusional.

“No, it’s not like that.

Su Mo invited Chen Shan and their group to help!

They made short work of Red Coral Bay Base.

Now we have a large supply of resources at our disposal, and there are even parts for repairing The Crane Orchid within Red Coral Bay.

We can fix The Crane Orchid.”

Zinuo became more and more excited as she spoke.

Sun Li asked Su Mo in disbelief,

“Did you really ask Chen Shan for help?”

“Yeah, what’s the problem?” Su Mo responded nonchalantly, as if mutual assistance was nothing out of the ordinary.

When Qian Chengxue and Ye Haitang heard Su Mo’s answer,

their expressions completely lost composure.

They knew that the Five Dragon Heads were in service to the Sky Dragon Guild; when had it ever been the other way around that they could be asked to provide outside assistance?

For a moment, both Qian Chengxue and Ye Haitang turned their gazes towards Su Mo, each with a different look in their eyes.

Zinuo, who had been in high spirits, suddenly sensed that the way Qian Chengxue and Ye Haitang were looking at Su Mo had changed.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she inwardly cursed, realizing things had gone awry!

Regardless of whether Qian Chengxue and Ye Haitang’s attentions were of admiration or something else,

in the end, wasn’t this just like bringing in competition for herself?

Ye Haitang’s heart was in turmoil, like raging waves.

Initially, she felt Su Mo was a hidden gem, but she hadn’t anticipated that she had still underestimated him; this guy was actually capable of getting Chen Shan to take action.

It seemed that she truly needed to pay close attention to him in the future.

Ye Haitang took several deep breaths to steady her emotions and smiled at Chengxue, saying,

“Sister, you have good luck.”

“Thanks for the compliment, by the way, sister, I won’t see you out as I have something to take care of.”

Chengxue responded politely and took the opportunity to send Ye Haitang away.

She needed to clarify the situation.

“Alright, since you have matters to attend to, I won’t stay any longer,” said Ye Haitang with tact as she turned to leave.

Sun Li whispered to Chengxue, “Sister Xue, should we log on and check quickly?”

After pondering for a few seconds, Chengxue finally shook her head and decided against it.

“Let’s wait until after the banquet.”

“Okay,” Sun Li nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Chengxue couldn’t help but give Su Mo another look.

She then naturally invited both Su Mo and Zinuo, “You’ve worked hard.

Since you’re here, let’s go have a meal together.”

“Sure,” replied Su Mo, who had no objections.

He was indeed a bit hungry, and having something to eat seemed like a good idea.

Besides, after the meal, he could go back to rest since there was nothing left for him to do.

…

Late at night, after the banquet had ended, Chengxue immediately logged on.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she led a troop out of Dawn City and hurried towards Red Coral Bay Base.

As for Su Mo, the biggest contributor, he went home to sleep after the feast.

He didn’t feel like getting involved in the rest, leaving the finishing touches to them.

After a lengthy journey, Chengxue and her party finally arrived at the outskirts of Red Coral Bay Base.

From a distance, she could see the iron walls of the base adorned with the flag of Dawn Guild, and at that moment, Chengxue’s anxious heart eased slightly.

Now filled with more confidence, she knew that having acquired Red Coral Bay Base, their predicament could be substantially alleviated—at least, for the short term, they were holding on.
