Chapter 1 The Hospital Discharge

Su Mo smiled and said to Qian Chengxue, "It's just a discharge from the hospital, why are you so happy?"

"Of course, it means you're not far from getting better. You lie down for a while, and I'll go take care of the discharge procedures for you."

Qian Chengxue said happily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Su Mo nodded slightly. After a month of recuperation, apart from not being able to move freely, Su Mo's head and hands had recovered almost completely. He could do some simple movements.

Just as Qian Chengxue left, the phone Su Mo had placed on the bedside suddenly vibrated.

Su Mo subconsciously reached for it and saw a text message pop up. He opened it and took a look.

"Respected Earl Su Mo, due to your outstanding completion of the Star Gate escort mission, a special mission reward of 10 million points."

"Respected Earl Su Mo, due to your heroic performance and the elimination of a large number of enemies, a comprehensive reward of 30 million points."

"Respected Earl Su Mo, due to your brave resistance against the enemy, which bought enough time for the erection and opening of the Star Gate, a special reward of 60 million points."

Su Mo looked at these three messages and muttered to himself.

"The Star Ring City is quite generous, giving me a total of 100 million points. However, this reward settlement is much later than I expected."

The Forged Lord·Devourer said in a low voice: "So-so, the settlement is late because they probably had a dispute over your elimination of enemies."

"Why?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Think about it. When you dropped that Heart of Ruin, how many enemy units of the Eternal Sleep Clan did you wipe out in one go? If all of that were calculated according to normal points, how many points do you think you would have gotten?"

The Forged Lord·Devourer replied.

"What you said makes sense, but I'm not greedy, it's good enough. After all, that Heart of Ruin isn't mine, so it can't be calculated that way. Otherwise, wouldn't that be like exploiting a bug?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and soon felt relieved.

"How are you planning to use these points? To recharge me?"

The Forged Lord·Devourer asked directly.

"Ahem, use points to exchange for energy stones? I guess that's not enough for you to squander."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"Hmph, then what are you going to do?"

"Ahem~ don't be anxious, listen to my analysis. First, don't forget the old man's mission. We haven't done it yet, and I'm still in this state, so it's impossible for me to go to Gushen Star, let alone fight. So, shouldn't the top priority be to save the points and see if we can directly buy the Para Fruit from Star Ring City?"

Su Mo explained with a splitting headache.

Although the doctor told him from the start that he might not recover so quickly in his current condition, Su Mo had always been hoping that he might recover in a month or two.

But he didn't expect that a month had passed, and his body still hadn't recovered. Even though his hands could move, they were only capable of picking up small things and playing with his phone.

The old man's mission was completely ruined!

"Hmm, what else?"

The Forged Lord·Devourer continued to ask.

"Second, in my current state, it's impossible for me to go out and have fun for the time being. I'll have to stay in Star Ring City for a while. Under normal circumstances, we shouldn't have any conflicts with others, so recharging isn't a top priority. And the Great Era is about to arrive, and I can't move, so the only thing we can rely on is this money. We can't just squander it all, or we'll really be living from hand to mouth. We should make good use of these points and make value-added investments. Then we can definitely feed you well."

Su Mo explained seriously.

The Forged Lord·Devourer couldn't help but fall into thought.

"To be honest, I know the importance of recharging you better than anyone else. If you don't have enough energy, I'll really have to use my face to withstand attacks next time."

Su Mo said to the Forged Lord·Devourer from the bottom of his heart.

"I understand."

The Forged Lord·Devourer was too lazy to say anything more. What Su Mo said was indeed correct. Only by seizing the trend of the Great Era can we achieve continuous and healthy development.

Su Mo suddenly remembered something and quickly asked the Forged Lord·Devourer.

"By the way, how much charge do you have left?"

"7%."

The Forged Lord·Devourer replied in a low voice.

Su Mo's eyelids twitched violently, and he said in shock, "Only that much left?"

"Do you think it was so easy to withstand the final blow? Even if you were piloting a VI-generation mecha, you wouldn't have been able to withstand it so easily, let alone using a V-generation mecha."

"That's true."

Su Mo nodded.

Just as Su Mo and the Forged Lord·Devourer were talking,

The door of the ward was opened, and Qian Chengxue returned in high spirits with a bag of medicine in her hand.

"The procedures are done. We can leave later."

"Okay."

Su Mo nodded.

"By the way, I ran into Doctor Li Fen on the way just now. She specifically told me again that before your body recovers, it's best to stay in Star Ring City. If there are any emergencies, she can come over as soon as possible."

Qian Chengxue thought for a moment and said to Su Mo.

"I understand."

After hearing this, Su Mo's head hurt even more.

......

In the evening, Qian Chengxue pushed Su Mo out of the central hospital of Star Ring City.

The breeze blew gently, which was especially pleasant.

From a distance, there were occasional sounds of laughter. Many children were chasing and playing, which was very happy.

The central hospital of Star Ring City is located in the Second Ring, and the Second Ring is normally not open to idlers. It is only open to nobles and officers within the Star Ring system.

The environment here is also very different from the Third Ring.

The greening rate here exceeds 60% of the overall area, and the air is particularly clear, making it feel especially comfortable to breathe.

All the buildings are built with special materials, which look full of future technology. There are no flying cars or other means of transportation on the streets.

If someone needs to go to a relatively distant area, they all take mechanical teleportation squares.

The people who live here have a very slow pace of life.

You can see many people in expensive clothes taking leisurely walks there.

Qian Chengxue looked at the scenery in front of her and was a little dazed for a while.

Su Mo smiled and asked Qian Chengxue at this time: "Do you like it here very much?"

"No, I don't."

Qian Chengxue came back to her senses and quickly shook her head and replied.

She knew very well what this place was. This was the Second Ring area of Star Ring City, and all the residents were either rich or noble.

The land here was worth an unbelievable amount of money.

When the countries first moved into Star Ring City, they were preparing to choose a site to build their respective administrative buildings, and each of them was more ambitious than the last.

They had all come to the Second Ring to inquire about land prices, but they all left with their tails between their legs.

Although this matter had not been made public, it was widely circulated among the upper class. Since then, it had also become a competition among all the upper class members to see who could get a house in the Second Ring.
