deeper meaning is development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to constantly replenish with fresh blood from independent travelers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to get some resources from other guild merchants, and we need to hasten the development of ourselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, why am I explaining so much to you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You wouldn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just do as I say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo looked Su Mo up and down with some puzzlement, feeling that something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, she finally realized what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was something off about Su Mo’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all beauties, after all, and normal guys would be drooling over them to the point of giving them the creeps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Mo hardly spoke unless he had to; she did all the talking until her mouth was dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Mo spoke up, “Do you have any food and water?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo’s expression was a sight to behold; she didn’t even know how to describe Su Mo, asking a girl for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out a bottle of purified water and beef jerky from her small backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo didn’t stand on ceremony and began eating on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo was left speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I’ve told you everything I can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest I’ll introduce to you after you officially join the guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m telling you, so many people want to join our guild but don’t get the chance, so don’t take advantage and act coy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, what’s your Micro Chat number?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll add you to the guild group later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t have one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo was taken aback as if looking at some oddity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just register one with the phone number you used to sign up, that’ll do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, I’m going to log off now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished the food and water and feeling tired, Su Mo lifted his head and responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here is my phone number; if you make up your mind, just send me a message or give me a call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I have one piece of advice for you: consider the consequences carefully before making a decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo wrote down her number on a slip of paper and seriously warned Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo nodded slightly and then logged out of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zinuo touched her forehead, wondering whether this guy was genuinely aloof or had some issues with emotional intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hardly said a few words the whole time, a true example of the strong, silent type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a dizzying sensation, Su Mo opened his eyes inside the game cabin and rose to leave the private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly went to the front desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Kui greeted Su Mo with a sweet smile, “How may I assist you, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m checking out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, as a valued VIP customer, do you need us to hold the room for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Kui inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then, please take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a series of operations, Xiao Kui replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>———————————————–\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the silence of the room, Su Mo sat in front of the computer, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To go or not to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a long time, still feeling very conflicted inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, since he came from over the wall to this place, he had never left the village within the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t attended any school either, and the farthest he’d been was to Xin Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he faced not just stepping out of the old city district but leaving Demon City to head for Imperial City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, this was an unprecedented change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed a bit lost and uneasy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night grew deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Su Mo remained sleepless throughout the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After agonizing for an indeterminate length of time, Su Mo’s gaze settled on the photograph of his grandfather on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unbidden, his mind recalled a question his grandfather had asked him before he passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo had a vague memory of that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the bright moonlight, his grandfather, Su He, with a pale face, held his hand and looked up into the sky as he asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Mo, do you know what people are truly seeking in their entire lives?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, Su Mo had replied to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Money, power, beautiful women, glory!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his grandfather just turned his head to look deeply at Su Mo and then smiled faintly and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, but also not completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Su Mo asked after hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then what is it that we are truly seeking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, his grandfather stroked Su Mo’s head and said with a big laugh,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silly child, in this world, everyone is different, and so are their pursuits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately curious, Su Mo pressed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what are you seeking, Grandpa?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Su Mo’s question, his grandfather fell into a deep reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, he sighed wistfully, affectionately took Su Mo’s hand, and replied meaningfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my life, there were two things I sought: a sense of value and a sense of belonging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sense of value comes from affirmation by loved ones, and belonging comes from being loved and wanting the care of family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Su Mo also felt deeply moved and couldn’t help but grip his grandfather’s aged hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when his grandfather suddenly posed a question to Su Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child, what are you seeking in your life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question caught Su Mo off guard in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction, Grandpa Su He did not press further but just smiled affectionately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Su Mo remembered what Sun Duoxiang had said to him: if one doesn’t want to be lonely and isolated, perhaps a change really was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how much he resisted internally, it was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, if that’s the case, then let’s go,” he decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his phone to compose a message to Lin Zinuo, sending it, and then casually sent another to Uncle Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Mo booked the earliest train ticket to Imperial City for the following day online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early the next morning, Su Mo got up early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He packed some clothes into a bag, making sure to also turn off all the water and electricity switches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to his computer desk, picked up the wallet laying there, and took out a Black Diamond Bank Card and a Colorful Diamond Card his grandfather had left him and never used, putting them all in the drawer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left only a thousand yuan in cash inside the wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Mo picked up his phone again and unlinked all the bank cards bound to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had realized that in life, you always need to make changes and try new things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to go out and see the world, which was also a challenge to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To start anew as an ordinary person and try out a new life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if one day he re-linked the bank cards to his phone and used the money in them, that would mean the challenge had failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everything was done, Su Mo closed the door behind him and left, carrying the bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He left the urban village where he was born and bred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short while later, Su Mo emerged from the old district, surrounded by towering buildings and highly developed public facilities, the ground spotlessly clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vehicles crowded the roads and well-dressed men and women hurried along the sidewalks on their way to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the huge success of the Star Ring Game, life and work had to go on in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was partly because the death rate in the game was so high, and partly because the game was too mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could guarantee continued good luck and staying alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone was foolish enough to quit their job to play full-time, their end was likely to be very bleak.\u003C\u002Fp>",1351,"2026-06-09T07:18:14.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","d57f705fc939cd2bc4aa3d377fdd7ba6efc1e89a900ebbf6a9fe896d7659c755","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-50","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-48",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
