Evening.

Su Mo once again came to the front of that inconspicuous grocery store.

The store entrance was still deserted, without a single person.

The low voice of the False Creator·Devourer echoed in Su Mo's mind.

"I've discovered that you're extraordinarily bold. You've already wrecked the V-generation bio-mechanical armor, Light of the Abyss, that the old man gave you. You haven't found the thing, and most of the time has passed. Yet, you still dare to come to his doorstep. Aren't you afraid he'll devour you alive? Don't think he's really that good-tempered."

"Do you think you can avoid the first day of the month, but still avoid the fifteenth?"

Su Mo took a deep breath and said,

"Tsk, tsk, that's true enough. Then good luck to you."

The False Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Hey, hey, you're too disloyal, aren't you?"

Su Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes at the False Creator·Devourer.

Unfortunately, the False Creator·Devourer simply played dead, not making a sound.

Su Mo took a deep breath, cautiously walked inside. The store's layout was still the same, without any changes.

The old man with dry, white, and messy hair was still standing in front of the counter with his head lowered. However, his complexion seemed even worse than before. His entire person was like a mummified corpse.

The old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes staring straight at Su Mo.

"You're back? Where is it?"

"Ah! Um, I haven't found it yet."

Su Mo was also startled, and replied awkwardly.

Hearing Su Mo's words, the old man's eyes immediately turned gloomy, and the temperature of the entire grocery store dropped several degrees.

"Then what are you here for?"

"I came to you to discuss the matter of searching for the Pala Fruit. It seems like it has to be postponed. In my current state, there's no way I can go..."

Su Mo was startled again by the old man's gaze before he could finish speaking.

The old man's gaze was like that of a terrifying beast, making one's heart tremble with fear.

Su Mo clearly felt that the other party was really angry, and he quickly said, "Don't be anxious, listen to me first."

"Speak, but I advise you to think carefully before you do."

The old man replied in a low voice.

"I'm not saying I won't do that mission, it's just that my body really doesn't allow it right now, so it needs to be postponed. However, I also know that your body definitely can't wait, so I brought special medicine!"

Su Mo picked up the two kinds of medicine and placed them on the table.

The old man was slightly stunned when he saw the two kinds of medicine Su Mo had taken out.

Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Su Mo quickly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should also be suffering from negative energy contamination, which is why your body is about to collapse. Taking these two medicines together can suppress negative energy contamination. I've personally tested it, and it definitely works."

The old man picked up the two medicines and carefully examined them. Then he unscrewed the bottle caps, looked at the pills inside, and even smelled them.

Su Mo stood in front of him, also extremely nervous, silently praying in his heart.

"May it work."

"I've never seen this bottle of medicine before, but where did you get this bottle of medicine?"

The old man narrowed his eyes, picked up the medicine that Star Ring City had prescribed for Su Mo, and asked.

"You mean this? It was prescribed by Star Ring City. If you think it's useful, I can get you some more."

Seeing that the old man showed signs of relenting, Su Mo quickly said.

"Is it that easy to get this medicine?"

The old man's eyes flashed with a strange look as he looked at Su Mo.

"Don't worry, it's definitely easy to get!"

Su Mo patted his chest and guaranteed to the old man.

After hearing Su Mo's words, the old man's deathly face kept squirming.

His eyes stared straight at the medicine that Star Ring City had prescribed for Su Mo. If he wasn't mistaken, this medicine was what City Lord Icarus was taking.

The ingredients it contained included the Pala Fruit, and its value was inestimable. You couldn't buy it even if you had money.

This kid was actually able to get it from Star Ring City at will, and he didn't seem to know how precious it was.

It was obvious that the people from Star Ring City hadn't told him the truth.

Seeing that the old man hadn't said anything for a long time, Su Mo became more and more unsure, and he couldn't help but ask,

"Old man? Is it okay?"

At this moment, the old man came back to his senses, he put away the two medicines, and then said,

"I'll postpone it for another two years for you, provided that you send me a bottle of these medicines every year."

"No problem, but listen to me, it's really not that I deliberately stood you up, it's just that those bastards from the Eternal Sleeper clan are pressing too hard."

Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"With your small arms, don't be brave for nothing. Getting involved in the cracks of racial wars, even if you're a stone in a latrine, no matter how smelly and hard, the war machine will crush you into pieces."

The old man coldly warned.

"Hehe, there's really no way around it. Um~ I have something else to tell you."

Su Mo said awkwardly.

The old man suddenly raised his head, staring at Su Mo.

Su Mo was startled by the other party's reaction, and quickly said, "Don't be anxious, listen to me first. It's just that Light of the Abyss you gave me is damaged, can it be repaired?"

"I'll have someone recover it."

The old man replied in a low voice.

"This is what the mecha looks like now, take a look and tell me when it will be repaired."

Su Mo shamelessly opened his phone and showed the old man.

The old man looked at the photos in Su Mo's phone, and the dry face couldn't help twitching. Was this called damaged? It was almost destroyed, so he said in a cold voice.

"You're not getting it back."

"No, let's talk nicely, I don't have a mecha. How am I going to find the fruit for you after I recover from my injuries? You can't really want me to find it with my bare hands, right?"

Su Mo replied with a wry smile.

The old man suppressed his anger and said to Su Mo.

"Hmph, I'll have someone notify you when it's repaired."

"Okay, how's my mecha coming along?"

Su Mo quickly asked.

"You should take care of yourself first, hurry up and recover from your injuries, and bring back what I want."

The old man directly put away the two bottles of medicine on the table.

"Okay, well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Seeing that everything was settled, Su Mo prepared to slip away.

"Hold on."

The old man suddenly said coldly.

Su Mo was slightly stunned, his heart was a little uneasy as he looked at the old man, squeezing out an ugly smile and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The old man's eyes, like those of a dead person, kept looking up and down at Su Mo.

Su Mo became more and more uneasy, and asked with a stiff expression, "Why are you staring at me so intently? Is there something wrong?"

"Why is the contamination on your body so serious? What did you do?"

The old man asked with a very venomous gaze.

Su Mo was also shocked in his heart. Could this old man have seen that there was a Negative God Fragment in his body? However, Su Mo quickly denied this guess. The False Creator·Devourer couldn't even find the Negative God Fragment that entered his body, so there was no reason for the old man to be able to see it. So he said with a wry smile.
