Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’

Chapter 1646 - 1309: Recovery 2 (Second Update)

At this moment, a sound of hurried footsteps came from the distant corridor, and Major Miley appeared rushing over with a panicked expression.

She immediately rushed into the ward, followed by heart-wrenching cries from inside.

Shortly afterwards, Dr. Yageri led a group of doctors over, but upon arrival, they just stood at the door, took a glance, sighed in unison, and did not enter.

Su Mo walked over, puzzled, and asked.

"Dr. Yageri, what happened?"

"Negative energy pollution overloaded, couldn’t hold on, and mutated into a monster."

Dr. Yageri replied with a sigh.

Su Mo glanced inside and saw Major Miley crying heartbrokenly while holding a corpse with mutated skin.

Beside her lay the corpse of a female nurse, who seemed to have been killed by the out-of-control patient.

Dr. Yageri expressed some sentiment to Su Mo: "Major Miley and Colonel Hemick were lovers with a very deep bond, both serving Star Ring City. Unfortunately, during the long battles, Hemick’s body was increasingly eroded by pollution, and in the end, he couldn’t endure."

"Is there no way to treat it?"

"For this kind of negative energy pollution, there’s no cure, just like a bone-gnawing pain, no one has ever been cured. It can only be forcibly suppressed by strength, but who can guarantee to be strong all their life?"

Dr. Yageri said with a sigh.

Su Mo also fell silent upon hearing this; the cost of negative energy was too cruel.

...

A few days later, Su Mo lay on the hospital bed, while Dr. Yageri carefully examined his body.

He smiled and said to Su Mo, "Your body has mostly recovered, you can be discharged now."

"That’s great."

Su Mo responded in a good mood.

"But when you go back, you still need to take good care of yourself and try not to engage in combat for a while. Rest more."

Dr. Yageri responsibly instructed.

"Alright!"

Su Mo nodded.

At this moment, Su Mo’s bracelet vibrated, popping up a notification.

"Respected Commander Su Mo, please proceed to the main office of the City Administration Building before 3:30 PM to meet the Lord of Icaroya. Please pay special attention not to be late, as meeting time is limited."

Immediately, another message popped up.

"Respected Commander Su Mo, please attend the Royal Order of Twelve Knights ennoblement ceremony at Divine Grace Square in the inner ring of Star Ring City at 8 AM tomorrow."

Looking at these two messages, Su Mo felt a headache coming on.

He originally disliked lively and high-profile events, and this ennoblement ceremony was distressing, but he thought he could just endure it.

The problem was that in the afternoon he had to meet the Lord of Icaroya alone, and just thinking about it made him feel a mountain of pressure.

"What’s wrong Lord Su Mo? You don’t look well, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Dr. Yageri asked with concern.

"No, can I leave now?"

"No problem, you can go. We’ll handle the remaining procedures for you, so you don’t need to worry."

"Good."

Su Mo nodded in response.

...

A moment later, Su Mo walked out of the Star Ring City Central Hospital, and the instant he breathed in the fresh air outside, he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Although the hospital environment was quite nice, it was never as comfortable as outside.

"Su Mo!"

A familiar voice rang out.

Su Mo turned his head to see Qian Chengxue, Alles, Spade, Wang Hai, and others, all with radiant smiles on their faces.

Qian Chengxue ran over to Su Mo.

Su Mo opened his arms and hugged Qian Chengxue.

"Are you okay?"

Qian Chengxue worriedly touched Su Mo’s cheek and asked.

"Can’t you see I’m fine, nothing to worry about."

Su Mo smiled and reassured her.

At this moment, Alles and the others walked over, and Qian Chengxue quickly let go.

Spade, somewhat touched, spoke to Su Mo with sentiment, "Congratulations on successfully becoming a member of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights."

"Thank you, just lucky."

Su Mo replied with a light laugh.

Wang Hai, full of admiration, said to Su Mo, "It’s not luck, with your strength you truly deserve it, especially with that last strike of yours, taking on two VI-generation Mechas by yourself. It was so impressive."

"Just lucky."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

Alles reached out and patted Su Mo, saying gravely, "Congratulations Su Mo, the Federation is proud of you. When you’re available, come back to the Federation, and we’ll hold a grand celebration feast for you."

"Cough, cough, no need for a celebration feast, it’s not a big deal."

Su Mo quickly waved his hand to politely decline.

"Haha, then you probably misunderstand the significance of the position in the Royal Order. This is more important than you imagine. For one thing, thanks to you, after your successful rise, Domak Free Country gave up fighting for leadership. Now the Federation officially leads all countries in the Alliance. Moreover, many projects in Star Ring City that were stuck, all got the green light overnight."

Alles explained to Su Mo.

"Is that so?"

Su Mo was quite surprised as well.

"Yes, from now on the Federation will rely on your support. And no matter what trouble you encounter, just let the Federation know at the first opportunity; the Federation is your strongest backing."

Alles said solemnly to Su Mo.

"Alright!"

Su Mo nodded vigorously.

At this time, Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo, "Su Mo, is your body okay now? Do you need to take some leave to rest?"

"I’m afraid not, soon I need to meet with the Lord of Icaroya, and tomorrow I have to attend the Royal Order ennoblement ceremony. I guess after the ceremony I’ll be deployed."

Su Mo said after some consideration.

"Please take care of yourself."

Qian Chengxue said with great concern; in truth, she didn’t really want Su Mo to take the position in the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, but she would always silently support what Su Mo wanted to do.

"Alright, you all head back first, I must go to the City Administration Building in Star Ring City."

Su Mo nodded in reply.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue and the others nodded in response.

...

Not long after, Su Mo, in uniform, arrived at the entrance of the Central Administrative Council Building in Star Ring City.

At the majestic entrance, two V-generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Slaughterers stood guard.

The moment Su Mo approached, the two Slaughterers looked down at Su Mo and instantly recognized his identity.

Then they both maneuvered their mechas to place a hand over their chests and slightly bent their torsos in salute.

Su Mo nodded slightly and walked straight in.

The interior of the Administrative Building was extremely lavishly decorated, with Star Diamond flooring shimmering in various brilliant colors.

Eighteen transparent crystal columns of different hues stood upright in the hall, with lifelike, peculiar patterns carved on their surfaces.

Moreover, every displayed ornament was a priceless treasure.
