Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

The masters who had taught him had all expressed their inability to teach him further, even the instructor who specifically taught him combat techniques had once boasted about how difficult his unique skills were to master. It had taken him over a decade to learn them, but Su Mo mastered them in just a few days, nearly infuriating his combat master to death.

Lan Xi's mouth was agape; she had always held Su Mo in awe. Only now did she realize he was actually quite handsome.

Su Mo squatted down and grasped the handle with both hands, turning his head to look at Sun Duoxiang and the others.

"What are you guys standing around for?"

"Coming, big brother."

Sun Duoxiang and the others immediately went to grasp the other handles.

"One!"

"Two!"

"Pull hard!"

Su Mo adjusted his breathing and, at the final shout, he burst forth with power first.

"Ah~~ no can do, big brother, it won't budge!"

Sun Duoxiang and Zhang Hao tried their hardest to pull, but it felt incredibly heavy.

"Give it all you've got."

Su Mo's eyes narrowed, veins popping and his muscles further bulged.

"Got it!"

Sun Duoxiang and the others gave it their all, almost biting through their teeth, exerting every ounce of strength they had.

Creak~~

Finally, through everyone's efforts, the gate made a grating noise that could make one's teeth sour, and it was raised bit by bit.

"A bit higher."

Lan Xi reminded nervously.

"It's still not high enough, I can barely hold it up."

Sun Duoxiang and the others were red-faced, veins on their foreheads throbbing.

Su Mo took a deep breath and with a loud yell, he pulled harder.

The gate was lifted higher again, and Lan Xi, mustering her courage, rolled inside.

"Let go!"

Su Mo shouted to Sun Duoxiang and the others, then he let go.

Bang!

The moment they let go, the gate fell down again.

Sun Duoxiang and the others lay on the ground, gasping for air, their chests heaving for a long time before calming down.

"Phew, big brother, I don't quite understand, what's the use of Lan Xi going in there? Could she really open the gate? At most, she'll just take a look at what's inside. Besides, if there's a monster inside, Lan Xi is done for."

"If you guys had put in a bit more effort and fully lifted the gate, would I need her to go in?"

"Uh... you're right, big brother, it's actually good that Lan Xi went in. Let's see what good stuff is inside, and if there's something worthwhile, we'll find more people to help."

...

Minutes ticked by, and after Lan Xi had gone in, there was no reaction or update about the situation inside.

Sun Duoxiang grew restless, pacing back and forth, muttering under his breath.

"It's been so long, there must be something inside, or a monster, at least tell us something; it's been too quiet, could something have happened?"

"Sigh~ I guess you just can't rely on women...."

...

Su Mo, on the other hand, was very calm, showing no reaction.

Just then, a loud crack resounded.

The heavy gate slowly rose.

Sun Duoxiang and the others were stunned; the gate had actually opened.

"I knew you were talking smack about me."

Lan Xi retorted annoyedly.

"No, it's not that. How did you open the gate?"

"Of course I couldn't open it; I found a backup power source. Hurry in."

"Lucky break, there's even one of those?"

Sun Duoxiang was somewhat astounded.

"Come in, close the door."

Su Mo walked in and simply said to Lan Xi.

"No problem."

Lan Xi responded cheerfully; she had been very nervous when she entered the storage facility, fearing she might mess up, but fortunately, the result was quite good.

"Wait for us."

Sun Duoxiang and the others hurriedly ran inside.

Su Mo walked quietly through the storage facility, cautiously observing his surroundings. Only the emergency lights on the walls were on since the emergency power was activated.

Of course, there were also many cameras on the walls, but they probably weren't useful anymore.

Additionally, one could see some dried-out skeletons, all dressed in uniform military attire. Su Mo approached and squatted down to inspect them closely, finding no signs of corpse alteration.

Sun Duoxiang and the others closely followed Su Mo, without wandering around.

After finishing his inspection, Su Mo stood up and looked around.

The storage facility was square-shaped with a two-level structure, and there was a small elevator in the central area. The first floor didn't have anything special, except for an emergency diesel generator in the corner.

"You're kidding, there's nothing here."

Sun Duoxiang felt a bit deflated. They had exerted so much effort to get here, only to possibly return empty-handed.

"Right, isn't this supposed to be a military storage facility?"

Zhang Hao replied regretfully.

"Let's go down and see."

Su Mo didn't respond to their comments but walked straight to the elevator.

Lan Xi and a few others hurried to follow, as Su Mo pulled the mechanical lever next to him.

Click!

The elevator began to descend. When it reached the second level, rows of wooden crates and several dust-covered leopard tanks came into view for Su Mo and his companions.

Sun Duoxiang and others were so excited they could hardly keep their mouths closed.

"My God!!!"

"This, this really is an armory!"

....

In contrast to the excitement of Sun Duoxiang and his group, Su Mo was not just unexcited but his calm eyes even showed a hint of disappointment. This world must possess technology beyond comprehension, it's just that the level of this military storage facility was too low.

"Big brother?"

Sun Duoxiang and the others looked at Su Mo with anticipation.

"Break open all the boxes."

Su Mo said calmly.

"No problem."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Sun Duoxiang and the others eagerly started taking tools from their backpacks to pry open the crates.

Click!

After a bit of violent dismantling, the crates were opened.

New QBZ-171 rifles were laid bare.

"We've struck it rich!"

Sun Duoxiang and his companions grew more excited as they dismantled more crates.

Su Mo leaned against the wall, arms crossed, silently watching them diligently unpack, feeling utterly unmoved inside.

Soon, all the crates were opened.

Sun Duoxiang eagerly rushed to Su Mo and said, "Boss, I've roughly counted: there are five new tanks here, but no fuel. Twenty crates of QBZ-171 rifles, each crate containing five rifles and corresponding magazines, and as for bullets, needless to say, there are more than a hundred crates."

"Hmm, I know."

Su Mo nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

At this moment, Lan Xi asked somewhat puzzledly.

"We couldn't find a single gun outside, how come there are so many here?"

"It's simple, can you see guns in reality? Aren't they only in specific places?"

Su Mo asked calmly.

"I understand now, the regime in this devastated area was pretty much the same as back home."

"Exactly."

Su Mo nodded in response.

"All these things are not important. What's important is, big brother, how do we handle these things, maybe..."

Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo with sparkling eyes, starting to speak but then hesitating.

"What are you trying to say, just say it."

Su Mo noticed a hint of what was coming.

Sun Duoxiang rubbed his hands nervously and said, "Big brother, we can't use so many weapons. How about we arm ourselves with some and sell the rest? These weapons are very valuable initially, but as the situation develops, they will soon depreciate."

"Sell to whom?"

"We could sell them to the Wuji Guild. Our guild is quite reputable in this area."

Sun Duoxiang pleaded, hoping to make a contribution by selling this batch of weapons to the guild.

"Okay."

Su Mo did not refuse.
