Actually, my parents died in a car accident when I was born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I always lived with my grandfather, those days were the happiest of my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later my grandfather also passed away, he was very peaceful and happy at that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he told me that someone had always been waiting for him below, and he didn’t want to make her wait any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, I lived alone, spending every day cooped up at home playing games, sleeping when I was tired, continuing to play when I woke up and just finding something to eat when I was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time just passed by little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that life was bad, but I felt like the world of a single person was abnormally cold and numb, as if the whole world had lost its color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes I even felt like I was just a walking dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo gradually fell into his memories as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting beside him, Qian Chengxue was moved by Su Mo’s words, her eyes expressing increasingly complex feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could deeply empathize with everything Su Mo was describing; she finally understood why, when she first met Su Mo, she felt that this stranger was somehow similar to her in some aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were of the same kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo continued, “I originally thought I would live this dull and uninteresting life alone forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by chance, I inadvertently stumbled into the guild’s defense position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw the comrades in the guild helping each other, resisting the monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t cold and chaotic like other guilds, which felt quite warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, due to a twist of fate, I joined, and these days in the guild have been the happiest of my years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Life seemed to have a bit more color…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue listened quietly, the evening breeze stirring strands of her hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Su Mo turned to look at Qian Chengxue and asked, “Can I ask you a question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you struggle so hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With your status and wealth, you could easily live a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do you work so hard within Star Ring, even risking everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You had several chances to cash out gracefully and leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue looked at the stars above, silent for a long time, eventually opening her heart and saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My life actually isn’t much different from yours, perhaps even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until I was six years old, when my mother was still alive, life was carefree and incredibly warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But everything changed after my mother passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone around me showed their deep malice, and my father became very indifferent, like he was a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of my life was spent under intense studying and oppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was anything I did poorly, at best I would be grounded and starved, and at worst, I would be severely beaten; but none of that really mattered…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue took a deep breath and continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The most suffocating thing was the indifference that came from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire family felt like a cold shackle, numbing you, making you feel like a walking dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why I gambled everything in Star Ring was because I wanted to break off this shackle, escape from all this, and be reborn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Qian Chengxue had another secret buried deep in her heart that she didn’t mention—her longing for success was driven largely by a crucial fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her mother was lowly regarded and didn’t even receive a proper title after her death, she had never been admitted into the Ye Family’s ancestral shrine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a thorn in her heart, a life hurdle she could never overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo, listening to Qian Chengxue’s story, felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But all that is just a pipe dream now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chengxue said self-mockingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, you’ve already done very well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo lifted his head, looking into Qian Chengxue’s clear and bright eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met, and the world seemed to stop in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, both of them shyly turned their faces away…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, as the sky grew lightly bright, the goose-feather-like heavy snow fell again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo and Qian Chengxue got up ready to continue on their journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat some jerky to replenish your strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Qian Chengxue passed a stick of beef jerky to Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo naturally accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them were moving around in Lin Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, they looked out for each other, and the scenery they encountered was incredibly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They occasionally chatted, and rather than finding the monotonous journey boring, they cherished this rare leisure time together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By midday, Cheng Xue stopped to gaze into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still unable to see the end of Lin Hai, they likely had a long way to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she suggested,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s rest here for a bit and drink some water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue handed a bottle of mineral water to Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo took the mineral water, found a fallen dead tree, brushed off the snow from it, and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he twisted off the cap and took a sip of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly became stunned, the water was warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Cheng Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the sound of thunderous explosions kept coming from afar, from just the sounds alone one could tell that the battle at Praying Dragon City was fiercely intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue naturally came to sit beside Su Mo, took a drink of water, and started chatting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, whether we go now or not, it won’t make much difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Su Mo, why didn’t you think of giving up this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am someone who doesn’t like giving up as long as I haven’t truly lost….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo said cheerfully to Cheng Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, mid-sentence, Su Mo’s words abruptly stopped, and the smile gradually faded from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue asked with a puzzled expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Something’s not right, take a close look at the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those nearly invisible pale green toxic fumes, could they be emanating from the snow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see, it seems so.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue immediately lay down and observed carefully, noticing the faint green fog seeping through the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo quickly started to dig through the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon in the thick snow, an inconspicuous pipe was exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue crouched down and brushed aside the snow to look at the exposed pipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one looked closely, they could see a wisp of pale green toxic mist floating out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then said, “This must be the main culprit of our mutation, the virus mist is being emitted from here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well hidden indeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo looked at the pipe and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s indeed very concealed, it’s got all of us fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am also very curious about what exactly Praying Dragon City is hiding inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never mind, we’re in no position to safeguard ourselves now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue said helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There isn’t completely no hope.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo suddenly showed a hint of a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Xue looked at him, taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his confident expression, which seemed not to be joking, she asked curiously, “What’s the plan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dig up the pipe, there must be a main pipe underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the main pipe is wide enough, we can entirely crawl into Praying Dragon City through it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo voiced an idea that left Cheng Xue utterly dumbstruck.\u003C\u002Fp>",1256,"2026-06-09T07:18:15.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","7aea39265885e43af9454cfac6cac699bf8990d5eff6d7870f514a45a70b4d91","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-347","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-345",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
