Chapter 279 Blacken

Ke Lei and the others didn't look too good when they heard the old man's words. However, due to their fear of the old man, they could only suppress their unwillingness and say,

"Yes."

But as they left, they all glanced at Su Mo out of the corner of their eyes.

Soon, only Su Mo and the old man were left.

"Old man, what was that move you used when you fought me? It was so powerful! It instantly felt like the entire bio-mech was activated. It was even more terrifying than the beast form, and it wasn't that kind of negative energy that makes you lose your mind."

Su Mo asked impatiently.

"Why should I tell you?"

The old man replied coldly.

"Don't be so stingy."

Su Mo took out the techniques he had learned from Mo Bake and said with a flattering expression,

"Alright, stop trying to butter me up. Your body has almost recovered. Your rehabilitation training ends here. You don't have to come anymore starting tomorrow."

The old man directly issued an eviction order to Su Mo.

"Don't do that, I didn't expect you to be so strong. Why don't I become your disciple?"

Su Mo sincerely requested. He was genuinely convinced.

He knew that after reaching this level, he had been stuck. Without someone to guide him, it would be difficult to reach the next level.

The old man fell silent upon hearing Su Mo's words, as if pondering something.

Seeing that the old man didn't reject him immediately, Su Mo's heart couldn't help but race. He held his breath and stared at the old man nervously.

"No! I don't take disciples."

The old man's words were like a bucket of cold water, drenching Su Mo to the bone.

Artificial Creator·Devourer was also suddenly stunned when it heard the old man's words, extremely surprised.

However, it didn't say anything.

"Let's talk it over, just accept me."

Su Mo hurriedly pleaded.

Unfortunately, the old man's attitude was extremely firm. He replied coldly, "I don't take disciples, you can leave!"

After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and left directly, not giving Su Mo any chance.

"Sigh~"

Su Mo sighed slightly as he watched the old man's departing figure.

......

Not long after, Su Mo was walking back to the Shadow, alone. The scene of the old man operating the mech kept flashing in his mind, especially the scene when he used that special ability.

His heart was itching like countless ants were crawling over it.

"Artificial Creator·Devourer, what kind of ability was that? How is it so strong?"

"Blacken. That power can not only greatly enhance the power of the mech, but also block the permissions of any device."

Artificial Creator·Devourer explained to Su Mo in a low voice.

"That's so awesome, how come I've never seen anyone use it before."

Su Mo took a deep breath.

"There are no more than five people in this world who can use that ability! You are extremely fortunate to have witnessed it."

Artificial Creator·Devourer explained to Su Mo very clearly.

"Blacken, Blacken..."

Su Mo couldn't help but mutter these two words.

At night, Su Mo tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with the scene of the battle during the day.

"Still not giving up?"

Artificial Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice.

"If I give up after encountering a little setback, then I'm not far from being useless."

Su Mo said very firmly,

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'll go to the general store tomorrow and ask the old man again."

"Aren't you afraid of being rejected again?"

"He's not my dad, why should he accept me just because I want to become his disciple? I'm not narcissistic enough to think that the whole world revolves around me."

Su Mo replied with clear eyes.

"Oh, you still have some self-awareness. Good luck."

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

......

The next morning, Su Mo ran to the entrance of the general store early in the morning.

The door of the general store was open. He walked in with a happy expression.

He saw the old man still wearing a deadpan expression, standing expressionlessly in front of the counter, like an old man half-buried in the ground. You couldn't see any demeanor of an expert.

Su Mo coughed and went to the counter.

The old man stood expressionlessly in front of the counter, as if he didn't see Su Mo.

"Good morning."

Su Mo greeted with a smile.

The old man still ignored Su Mo. Su Mo wasn't annoyed and said to the old man,

"Old man, let's discuss something."

"Don't even mention becoming a disciple."

The old man replied hoarsely.

"Don't do that, listen to me first. I'm actually a pretty good person, you definitely won't suffer a loss if you take me in. It's said that one day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father. If you take me in, I will definitely take care of you in your old age and bury you when you die."

Su Mo said with a smile, starting to wear down the old man.

His idea was very simple. As long as the other party didn't get angry or issue an eviction order, he would try his best to wear him down as long as there was hope.

The old man glanced at Su Mo and ignored him directly.

.....

Seven hours later.

Su Mo's mouth was dry from talking, but the old man still stood expressionlessly in front of the counter, unmoved.

Just as Su Mo was about to continue speaking,

The old man suddenly said, "Close the door!"

Swish!

Su Mo was kicked out. He stood in front of the closed general store door, constantly taking deep breaths to adjust his mood.

"Still continuing?"

Artificial Creator·Devourer asked in a low voice.

"Continue, why not continue? I'll come again tomorrow."

Su Mo replied very resolutely.

"Whatever."

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

Half a month later, Su Mo was lying on his bed, using his phone to search the forum for "How to Become a Disciple"!

"Little Devourer, what do you think of this strategy? Show sincerity with heavy gold, money paves the way to success."

"Not good. Do you think you have more money than the old man? He seems to be your biggest creditor."

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied disdainfully.

"Uh, then how about this one? Sincerity can move mountains, kneel in front of the other party's door, and don't get up until they agree."

"Don't worry, with his stone-cold heart, he wouldn't even bat an eye even if hundreds of millions of people died in front of him."

"Hey, this won't work, that won't work, it's difficult."

Su Mo replied with a headache.

"If it were that easy to deal with, he would have a bunch of disciples long ago."

Artificial Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Forget it, I'll think about this later, I'll collect some energy crystals first."

Su Mo exited these strategy posts and started searching for posts about selling energy crystals.

As a result, while searching, he saw a very special post.

"Selling level 3 energy crystals, the price can be negotiated for large quantities. The transaction platform number is 14223, the link channel is as follows."

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then tried to click on it, and a separate window popped up.

"What's going on? When did this feature get added?"

Su Mo looked curious and started researching it.

Before long, he finally figured it out. This was an online trading platform opened by the City of Star Ring, where you could freely trade and buy and sell.
