"Is what you said true?"
"It’s true, I saw it in his office. And Xiao Shi also helped check, there really is a mark. But Master, don’t be impulsive, I know you really want that Stone Tablet."
Su Mo hurriedly advised.
The old man’s face was already somewhat distorted, his expression constantly changing.
Seeing the old man’s loss of composure, Su Mo gritted his teeth and said: "Master, don’t worry, if it doesn’t work out, leave it to me, I’ll find a way to get it for you."
The old man, upon hearing Su Mo’s words, slowly released his hand, his expression gradually calming, but he said nothing.
Su Mo asked, somewhat worried.
"Master? Old man?"
After a long time, the old man hoarsely said to Su Mo: "No need, you stay out of it. With your skills, there’s no way you can get the Stone Tablet from under Icaroya’s nose. Don’t underestimate that woman, even the Eternal Sleep Clan fell into her hands, you’re not qualified."
Su Mo, hearing the old man’s words, couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, the old man came to his senses. However, after carefully considering the old man’s words, he found that he was right.
"Then what about this matter? What will you do?"
"This matter is very tricky, I need to plan it carefully, so stop asking."
The old man hoarsely replied, seemingly having thought of something.
"Alright then, by the way, there’s one more thing I have to tell you, old man."
Su Mo quickly said to the old man.
"What is it?"
"I may need to go to the Immortal Empire in the next few days, and will be away for a while."
"You’re going to the Immortal Empire?"
The old man, hearing Su Mo’s words, showed a flicker of something strange in his cloudy eyes.
"Uh, yes. Is there a problem?"
Su Mo clearly noticed the old man’s odd expression and quickly asked.
Unfortunately, the old man did not provide any valuable information, only hoarsely said.
"I know, you can go now."
"Alright."
Su Mo didn’t want to ask more, as the old man’s emotions were quite unstable now, so he nodded and said.
.....
At night.
Su Mo lay tossing and turning in bed, his mind filled with matters concerning the Immortal Empire.
He discussed with the creator, Swallower.
"What do you think is so special about this Immortal Empire? Why do I feel something’s off?"
"Not sure, but something is definitely fishy with this empire. Not to mention anything else, don’t you find their strength a bit too overwhelming? Even the Mechanical Empire of the First Birthplace is overshadowed by them."
"I feel the same, especially with their extraordinary burst abilities, which are incredibly abnormal. Xiao Shi, if I could learn that ability, wouldn’t my strength increase significantly?"
As Su Mo talked, he started to envy Krisia and the others’ burst abilities, with their explosive power increasing substantially.
"Dream on! That type of ability is clearly their own secret skill, surely kept under tight security, and they definitely won’t teach you. Moreover, that ability might even require special conditions to use."
The creator, Swallower, poured a bucket of cold water over Su Mo.
"Hehe, I was just discussing, let’s not talk about that, and pick out a gift together."
Su Mo awkwardly changed the subject.
"Hmph, why not just buy one casually, what’s there to choose?"
"You don’t understand, if you choose poorly and without taste, it will be more troublesome if it goes wrong."
"Tch."
The creator, Swallower, didn’t feel like talking more.
Su Mo raised his electronic bracelet, opened the Star Ring Forum, and entered the auction from there.
Speaking of which, Su Mo hadn’t opened this auction for quite a while. He remembered that the last time he used it, it caused quite a stir.
As Su Mo carefully browsed the auction, he grew more and more surprised, the number and variety of items for sale was at least ten times more than before.
With a dazzling array of items, he felt overwhelmed.
Xiao Shi, seeing Su Mo browsing for so long without deciding what to buy, impatiently said.
"Still haven’t decided?"
"What’s the rush? Anyway, it’s on the company’s expense account. Why not buy something nice, so that I have more face? Maybe I can impress Krisia’s father, and then my situation might be better."
Su Mo replied with a smile.
"In that case, just buy the most expensive one, problem solved."
The creator, Swallower, said disdainfully.
"Makes sense."
Su Mo immediately realized, clicking to sort by price in descending order.
Swoosh~
The auction items instantly refreshed.
An eye-catching item appeared.
Moon Shadow Star: Priced at 1 trillion Star Coins.
Su Mo opened the details page of this item, and a 360-degree virtual projection appeared.
This was an extremely luxurious, noble, and elegant gemstone necklace, entirely purple with a mystical hue, emitting a gentle aura.
Its shape and color were flawless, impeccable.
Of course, its exorbitant price wasn’t due to craftsmanship but rather its unique functions and special significance.
This Moon Shadow Star is said to bring good luck to the wearer and can resist some mental pollution.
Its meaning is: Deep affection, eternal as the stars.
Su Mo continued to browse the information about this necklace, discovering it was an accessory of the previous Queen of the Laurel Kingdom.
This inevitably made Su Mo think of the kind old grandmother in the Flower Sea.
It’s said to have been taken out to raise funds for the grassroots level, but unfortunately, it was too expensive and has been listed for several years without interest.
Su Mo contemplated for a while, then said to the creator, Swallower: "How about this necklace? Is it classy enough?"
"It’s luxurious enough."
The creator, Swallower, coldly replied.
"Great, this one then."
Without a word, Su Mo selected it.
