she passed out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone’s been killed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The onlookers scattered, running for their lives at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last scene was also witnessed by someone in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Su Mo, covered in blood, remained standing at the scene, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had killed a player, yet there had been no notification, no indication of any reward – what was the point of the game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind, he could deal with puzzling questions later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo turned and left, planning to explore the surrounding buildings further to see if there were any other gains to be had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered an apartment building, using the hammer in his hand to forcefully break open the sealed doors and went into a resident’s apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A musty air hit him in the face; the space inside was cramped, with furniture strewn about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo didn’t stand idle; he started rummaging through drawers and cabinets searching for anything valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, he found some notable items – two women’s gold necklaces and a men’s gold ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo weighed them; together, they made for a decent amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the official setting was to be trusted, these items could be converted into actual gold, though he didn’t know what the exchange rate was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was at that moment that the gold necklace in Su Mo’s hand accidentally came into contact with his bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A notification message popped up on the bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to convert the gold jewelry into gold points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo’s expression shifted slightly as he tapped on the bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the two necklaces and the ring in his hand vanished, replaced by the gold point value displayed on the bracelet, which changed from 0 to 0.1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he observed the change in value, he found a bit of direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold and silver, which could be converted, must be important to the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if there were no accidents, there was a probability of finding gold and silver jewelry in ordinary residents’ homes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the difficulty of searching was relatively high, and the quantity was certainly not abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was one place where these items were rather plentiful, the gold shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Su Mo left the apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Su Mo appeared in a large shopping mall, which he had managed to enter after some effort by breaking through a small door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole mall was eerily quiet and dim, giving one a creepy feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Su Mo didn’t care one bit; he began to search for anything of value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, contrary to his expectations, many of the stores on the first floor had empty counters or items of little value – such as appliances, luxury bags, cosmetics, and the like, all useless to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only slightly useful thing was a backpack that Su Mo found amongst the items, and he could use it to carry things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, as he searched, Su Mo found a half-closed iron door in a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly opened the door and carefully walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was dark inside, but after looking closely, he could see shelves laden with goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking in, Su Mo started to search through the items on the shelves, which contained a wide variety of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Mo opened the backpack he brought along and began to pack some useful living supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bundle of rope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A box of lighters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bottle of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Su Mo was intently packing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door to the storage room was suddenly closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo immediately turned and sprinted towards the door with the speed of a hundred-meter dash in seven seconds, slamming into it to try and open the iron door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was a step too late; the grinding sound of something heavy being pushed against the door outside had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, the door had been blocked; and to make matters worse, this particular iron door swung outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the door!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mo said in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-09T07:18:14.658Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4a6ca8cec96b1e7bda656d056ea0e1fd778fa7e32c69f9082ce5f1aabe295b3","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-9","destiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-chapter-7",1771,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdestiny-mission-of-game-star-ring-cover.jpg"]
