Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: The New Moon and the Seven Stars

After Ou Chenyu's death, the biggest stone in Su Mo's heart fell to the ground, and there was no longer a haunting threat chasing after him, and he could finally roam freely in the entire Dawn World by his own will.

After returning from the Meteorite Canyon, Su Mo slept the most restfully since the crossing, and immediately began to set up the party after waking up.

The entire 80th floor of the edge building has been arranged as a carnival scene, and the room is full of delicious food, everyone raises a glass and drinks together, and groups of three or five play video games together in various rooms, playing board games, and the tiredness accumulated during this time is released.

After the carnival, everyone also returned to the usual rhythm of life.

At 12 o'clock at noon, KK, who was sleeping lazily, got up, took some snacks and drinks after washing, and went straight to the e-sports room to play games.

The game he plays is called "Gods: Origin", which is a game that was officially launched recently, from Wow Cool Wow Cool Studio, and the producer is named Lu Ren.

"Gods: Origins" detonated the entire gaming circle during the closed beta period, and the improved content of the open beta was even better than during the closed beta, and it was undoubtedly won the "Game of the Year" award, and it is said that the entire studio has been freed by wealth.

KK has been exploring everywhere in the "Doguland Continent" in the game these days, playing in the dark, staying up all night every day.

By 4 p.m., he had all his heart and was ready to go to work in the finance office.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Su Mo head-on.

Su Mo glanced at the TV screen that hadn't been turned off yet, and asked, "Get up at noon and play games until now?" ”

KK: "Hmm. ”

Su Mo's face stiffened: "What are you going to do?" ”

KK: "Go to work." ”

Su Mo's tone became rather unpleasant: "Do you know what time it is?" ”

KK: "4 p.m. ”

Sumer: "What did I tell you before?" ”

KK: "Huh"

Su Mo glared and said heavily: "I repeat, you have to abide by the 8-hour entertainment system on the edge, and you must take out 8 hours to have fun every day except for eating and sleeping, otherwise you are not allowed to work!" ”

"You get up at 12 noon, and you want to work after only 4 hours of play? You've forgotten what I said, have you? ”

KK touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "Then I'll go to a sauna again?" ”

Su Mo smiled and pushed him to the sauna: "Go quickly, watch a movie by the way after steaming." When you're young, you always want to work, and you'll be wasted like this. ”

As the "number one hero" who got rid of Ou Chenyu, KK was immediately rehabilitated after he came back.

Su Mo announced all the previous plans to the mercenaries in the group, and everyone suddenly reacted, good guy, this is the little golden man actor of Yueska who even cheated with his own people.

In addition to restoring his reputation, KK also received a one-of-a-kind special treatment.

To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence - play, play hard, do a fart job, and the big brother will support you for the rest of your life.

This treatment is unique on the edge.

KK is also the only one on the entire rim who doesn't have to work and can lie down completely.

What? Are you not convinced?

If you are not convinced, you will also help the head of the regiment get rid of an enemy of Ou Chenyu's level, and the head of the regiment will definitely give you the same treatment.

Su Mo drove KK into the sauna, moved a basket of fruit to the office downstairs, and turned on the computer to watch the news replay.

"Let's pay attention to the recent hot news, the gold robbery of the Crescent Commercial Bank that shocked the whole city was officially solved yesterday."

"According to a spokesman for the Public Security Bureau, the security forces found stolen gold in the Yahu Industrial Park, a small part of which was secretly sold to the border, and the rest has been recovered, protecting the assets of citizens to the greatest extent."

According to the spokesman, Ou Chenyu, the founder of Tooth Tiger Industry, resisted fiercely during the arrest and was killed by the security forces on the spot, and the rest of the accomplices have all been arrested.

"The case of Lucio, a former member of the City Council and founder of the Ribeton Foundation, and Songzo Medical was sentenced by the Crescent City Court early this morning."

"Lucio's subjective malice is extremely deep, the social impact is vile, and the crime is extremely serious, and the court sentenced him to life imprisonment without commutation, parole, and confiscation of all property in his personal name."

"Lucio's only daughter, Taregu, head of the Ribetong Foundation Department, is suspected of harboring and using her position to facilitate the misappropriation of charitable funds and manipulating insider trading in the investment market, and is sentenced to 12 years in prison, without commutation or parole, confiscation of 12.04 million illegal gains, and a fine of three times."

Looking at the news about Lucio and Tarig on the news, Su Mo had only one thought in his heart: the.

He never considered himself a good person, and there was a lot of dirty money in the accounts of the fringe mercenary group.

Everyone is dirty, and no one should dislike anyone.

But dirty is dirty, and the appearance of eating should not be too ugly.

Lying on the charity fund as a moth, harvesting the public's goodwill, and even entrapping the disadvantaged in turn, this is already dirty.

The father and daughter should be glad that the laws of the world government are more lenient towards economic crimes, and the cap will be life imprisonment, otherwise this old thing Lucio will eat guns.

Su Mo ignored them, turned off the news, and opened the latest roster of members of the Edge Mercenary Regiment.

After Ou Chenyu's death, the entire Tooth Tiger Mercenary Group was confiscated by the Public Security Bureau and completely perished.

Among the Toothed Tiger mercenaries, those core members who were deeply entangled with Ou Chenyu, Su Mo didn't save any of them.

Based on what they had done before, the Public Security Bureau casually turned out a few cases, either death penalty or prison sitting.

And those mercenaries who have no special relationship with Ou Chenyu and just work in Tooth Tiger, Su Mo greeted Schenkov and hoped that the Public Security Bureau would not investigate deeply.

This little favor, of course, Schenkov was very face-saving and let people go one after another.

Su Mo rescued these Toothed Tiger mercenaries not out of kindness, but for the development of the marginal mercenary group.

These mercenaries were originally out to eat and work as workers.

They can play for the toothed tiger, and naturally they can work for the edges.

The Toothed Tiger is gone, these mercenaries are unemployed, and they are in jail, and if they are pulled at this time, they will be grateful.

When the time comes, not to mention die-hard loyalty, there is such a kindness, at least it is much more reliable than recruiting people from scratch.

What's more, the fringe mercenary group is in a period of rapid expansion, and it is very much in need of fresh blood to join.

Why not do this kind of self-benefiting thing?

After Su Mo's careful selection, there were more than 300 mercenaries accepted from the Tooth Tiger in recent days, plus the mercenaries who had passed the screening through other channels one after another.

Coupled with the original group of mercenaries in the regiment, the number of the entire fringe mercenary group has expanded to 612 people, of which 514 are combat mercenaries.

This scale means that Edge has officially changed from a small mercenary group to a medium-sized mercenary group.

What's more, this expansion was completed within a year.

In the Crescent City mercenary world, those who complete this kind of thing will receive a special "achievement".

"Ding-dong." The computer prompts a new email in the mailbox.

Su Mo opened the email with a smile on his face.

This email was sent by Zhou Hannian.

The content is: [Captain Su, you have been officially recognized as a supernova in the mercenary world of Crescent City, among the "Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon", and the title given to you by the industry is "Death Omen"]

[Congratulations on winning this honor, I hope you live up to expectations and lead the fringe mercenary group to move forward]

Supernova, this is a special name for the mercenary world of Crescent City.

Any self-made mercenary leader who can lead a team to more than 500 combat mercenaries in a year will be considered a "supernova".

The Seven Stars of the Crescent Moon represent the seven supernova captains in the mercenary world of Crescent City who have completed this achievement in recent years.

Ou Chenyu, the leader of the Toothed Tiger, was originally one of the seven stars of the crescent moon, and was known as the "Tianyuan Star" in the industry.

After Ou Chenyu's death, Su Mo took his place, so the number of supernovae did not change, and it was still seven.

And because Su Mo is the only mercenary leader in the supernova who has the upper rank of the original seven-star in his hand, he has been given the title of "Death Omen".

In the mercenary world of Crescent City, the Seven Stars force is not the strongest, after all, there are many large mercenary groups in the city, such as the Death Scythe, a behemoth with more than 27,000 combatants alone.

There is a big gap between the Seven Star Force and the old mercenary group, but it is definitely recognized as the most potential rising star, and it is also the focus of the industry, and it is the object of countless employers and middlemen trying to establish contact.

Su Mo won this honor with the marginal mercenary group, which means that his development in the mercenary world has reached a new level, there will be more opportunities, and there will be greater challenges accordingly.

Su Mo replied to the email, spoke politely to Zhou Hannian, and then went to the floating garage with the fruit basket.

He drove the Black Ark to a public sanatorium in the An'an New District.

"Hello." The reception nurse at the front desk stood up to greet her.

Su Mo: "Hello, my name is Su Mo, and I made an appointment to visit the patient by phone. ”

"Uh-huh, please." The nurse led the way to the recuperation area.

The nurse came to the lake-view ward, the highest level on the top floor, knocked on the door, walked in, and said softly, "Captain Ivan, someone has come to visit you." ”

Su Mo probed from outside the door: "Dude, didn't disturb your rest, did you?" ”

Ivan was lying on a mechanical medical bed specially designed for prosthetic implants, his body connected to various mechanical wiring, and the vital signs machine beating smoothly beside the bedside.

He had just undergone surgery by a prosthetist and had all the damaged components replaced, but many of the surgical wounds needed further repair and he could not get out of bed.

A beautiful woman was feeding Ivan porridge, and next to him stood a boy about the same age as KK.

Ivan shook his head slightly to indicate that he was full, and then looked at Su Mo, his voice hoarse: "You came here and told you not to bring me anything, why did you still bring it." ”

Su Mo put the fruit basket on the table and deliberately smiled: "It's not for you, don't be sentimental, this is for my sister-in-law and Ling Lang." ”

"Captain Su, you drink water." The woman handed Su Mo a glass of water, grabbed the young man next to her, and said, "John, call my brother quickly." ”

John greeted obediently: "Hello brother." ”

Su Mo smiled and said, "Hello, the young man is really spirited, and he will not lose to his father when he grows up." ”

John shyly touched the back of his head.

Ivan said lovingly: "I wish John could be an ordinary person, and not be like me, and make his family worry all day long." ”

The woman looked at Ivan, who was covered with surgical wounds, and secretly wiped away her tears.

Ivan felt that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and took the initiative to say, "Honey, you take John to the lake for a walk, and I will stay with Captain Su for a while." ”

"Okay." The woman took John to say goodbye to Summer and left the room.

After his wife and children left, Ivan looked at Su Mo with deep meaning: "I heard from the brothers that you have annexed the power of the Toothed Tiger and officially become one of the Seven Stars of the New Moon, I congratulate you in advance." ”

Su Mo sat down in the chair and said with emotion: "I can't do without your help, the person who fought the most with Ou Chenyu this time is you. Dude, I owe you a big favor. ”

Ivan smiled briefly: "Don't take yourself too seriously. I didn't deal with Ou Chenyu to help you, but to carry out the order to fight the criminals and maintain the justice of Crescent City. It's my duty, and I can't say what I owe or don't owe. ”

Su Mo nodded, and he didn't have too much hypocrisy: "In short, if there is anything I can help in the future, don't be stingy with your mouth." ”

Ivan pondered for a moment and said, "Captain Su, from a personal point of view, I would be happy to make you a friend, and it's no problem to drink together or something." ”

"But on business, let's keep our distance."

"You are a mercenary, I am a law enforcer, you are the dark side of this city, I am the bright side of this city, we should not have too much intersection."

"This time, Ou Chenyu touched the red line and was cleared by us in accordance with the law. In the future, if you touch the red line, I will not hesitate to clear you. ”

"Public is public, private is private, we must always distinguish this point when we get along. I speak straight, sometimes it is more difficult to hear, forgive me. ”

Su Mo smiled slightly after hearing this.

Ivan is such a person, a very pure person.

In the filthy and muddy waters of the Dawning World, this anti-riot captain can be said to be a clear stream.

In his 27-year anti-riot career, he has been to the front line in nearly 1,000 bloody battles, and he has received 15 special and first-class merits for the dead, and he has never received a single monthly coin outside of his salary since he served.

An upright enforcer, this simple label can sum up all of Ivan.

For such a pure person, Su Mo has always been reverent.

But in addition to reverence, there will be sadness.

Because the more pure the person, the more difficult it is to go to the end in the world of dawn.

They had no idea what the darkness was facing.

Su Mo looked into Ivan's eyes and said deeply, "I remember everything you said. I also want to say something to you. ”

"You've been in Crescent City longer than I am, but I'm sure you don't know as much about the city as I do."

"No matter where you are, a lot of things are not black and white, and right and wrong are often not clear."

"The city is not only light and dark, but also has a lot of light and shadow, which is unimaginable."

"It's nice to have principles of steel, but if you have to divide everything right and wrong, you can't compromise without any flexibility. It's not a good thing. ”

Su Mo shook Ivan's arm, got up to say goodbye, and left a meaningful sentence: "Captain Ivan, listen to my words, and you can go further." ”
