Chapter 1614 - 1286: Showdown 13 (Second Update)
Su Mo listened to the creator, Swallower, and couldn’t help but feel a bit envious of the Crack Star Spear.
"This is good stuff. If I could collect a few more of these weapons, surpassing levels in challenges might be possible."
"Dream on. Every VI-tier weapon is extremely precious. They’re either lost somewhere in the starry sky or held by powerful individuals."
"One must have dreams, though."
As Su Mo watched, he made idle conversation with the creator, Swallower.
Soon, they saw Krisia about to erupt, and Su Mo paused the video and said to the creator, Swallower.
"The previous battles, Krisia’s performance was impressive, but still within acceptable range. The real turning point happens here."
"Hmm, look at the changes in the mecha during its eruption. I remember clearly, its biological compatibility at least spiked by three hundred percent! The entire biological system within the mecha seemed completely activated, entering a critical transcendental state."
The creator, Swallower, explained.
"Three hundred percent compatibility? Are you sure?"
Su Mo was also stunned.
"No mistake, I deliberately did a long-range scan of the Wing Breeze in the starry sky. This data isn’t wrong."
The creator, Swallower assured confidently.
"Krisia’s compatibility was already high, and then it spiked by three hundred percent. No wonder Griros was defeated without any injustice!"
"Moreover, I did a little calculation. From the moment Krisia entered the special state until the battle ended, it lasted nearly seventeen minutes and thirty-one seconds. And this might not even be her limit, meaning her burst state lasts quite a while."
"Makes sense."
"Look at this frame, Krisia’s neural reaction speed after her burst was ridiculously fast. She could even dodge sub-light speed missiles, which is just against the natural order. Moreover, she accurately countered each of Griros’ attacks, even predicting his assaults..."
...
While Su Mo and Xiao Shi were studying Krisia.
Suddenly Su Mo’s bracelet started vibrating non-stop.
Su Mo was slightly confused and then opened the mailbox.
He saw Mo Baoke constantly sending private messages to him via the Star Ring Forum.
"Big brother, keep it up, you mustn’t lose, you’re the strongest in the world."
"Big brother, I believe in you. You’re definitely invincible."
...
Su Mo had a black line across his face. What was up with Mo Baoke, incessantly sending him messages like this?
He immediately ignored it and continued his research with the creator, Swallower.
Unfortunately, things often don’t go as planned. Just then, there was an urgent knock on the door.
Thump Thump
At the same time, Sun Duoxiang’s voice rang out at the door.
"Boss!"
...
Su Mo questioned as he walked to the door, opened it, and saw the panting Sun Duoxiang with a strange expression.
"Why are you here, and so out of breath?"
Sun Duoxiang anxiously said, "Boss, you have to win tomorrow’s match. I’m really counting on you. You must beat those rascals into the ground!"
"It’s not that easy, and did you come all the way here just for this?"
Su Mo said helplessly.
"Oh, come on~ Just for this? Boss, if you lose, I’m done for."
Sun Duoxiang was like an ant on a hot pan, almost going crazy with anxiety.
"What did you say?"
Su Mo asked, looking Sun Duoxiang up and down in confusion.
"Uh, nothing, nothing. I mean, boss, if you lose, my heart will feel like it’s dead. I absolutely believe in your strength. Those so-called Immortal Empire folks are definitely not your match."
Sun Duoxiang quickly backpedaled, buttering up Su Mo.
Su Mo directly gave Sun Duoxiang a kick and said in frustration, "I don’t believe you, spill it."
Sun Duoxiang scratched his head and whispered very quietly.
"Actually, I bet my entire fortune on you winning the championship."
Su Mo heard Sun Duoxiang’s words and was both angry and amused. He couldn’t help but operate his electronic bracelet to open the championship betting board.
"I’m seriously impressed with you."
"Boss, it’s because I have absolute confidence in you."
"Yeah, right."
Su Mo scolded Sun Duoxiang while looking at the betting board.
He was stunned, gasping as he saw that the total pot’s funding had reached sixty-three trillion Star Coins.
However, that wasn’t the most important part. The most important thing was that over eight trillion one hundred billion Star Coins had been bet on him.
He clearly remembered that when he looked last time, only several hundred billion Star Coins were wagered on him. He didn’t expect it to shoot up so much.
"Who bet so much on me?"
Su Mo finished speaking and looked at Sun Duoxiang in surprise.
Sun Duoxiang shook his head frantically like a rattle drum, quickly saying.
"Boss, don’t look at me. If I had that much money, why would I need to bet? My entire fortune was just 300 billion Star Coins."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s brow furrowed even more.
Suddenly, a notification popped up on Su Mo’s electronic bracelet.
"Dear Colonel Su Mo, you have a super long-distance cross-star domain communication request."
Su Mo was also slightly taken aback by this message, then clicked to connect.
The next second, Commander Nanqi’s virtual image appeared directly.
Su Mo was shocked to see Nanqi appear and said incredulously.
"Nanqi?"
It’s no wonder Su Mo was so surprised. Ceres is so far from the First Birthplace, and for this guy’s communication to connect, how many relay devices did he have to use!
"Brother, you have to work hard in this competition and win the championship."
Nanqi jumped straight to the point.
Su Mo immediately realized and said to Nanqi, "Damn, you didn’t bet on me to win, did you?"
"How could I, as the big brother, not believe in your strength? I bet my entire fortune on you, a full five trillion Star Coins."
Nanqi laid it all out frankly.
"Goodness, I was wondering who bet so much on me. So it’s you guys who put it together."
Su Mo was both upset and amused.
"Brother, never mind all that. You absolutely have to win. If you lose, I’ll be broke. Don’t be fooled by my title as a commander appearing well-off. But I support many people and don’t really have spare money. Betting all this is my lifeline. If you win, I’ll be rich, and you’ll be my hero."
Nanqi said passionately and spittingly.
The more Su Mo listened, the more his head hurt. He didn’t expect such a situation. He said with a headache.
"Don’t say that. I’m not confident in assuring you. Didn’t you see how strong those Immortal Empire people are? I really might not be able to beat them. If I were using the Biological Mecha, maybe I could risk a burst, but I’m using a purely mechanical one. Though my technology might be a bit better, it can’t compete with their hacks."
