Su Mo was concentrating on the recliner eating barbecue, taking a sip of beer from time to time, making a refreshing huffing sound.

At this moment, a figure sat on the chaise longue next to him.

Su Mo didn't care, thinking it was a passerby.

Unexpectedly, the other party was the first to speak, and a faintly familiar voice came: "What a coincidence, I actually met the 'Death Omen' here." ”

Su Mo was stunned for a moment when he was called out, and turned his head to look.

This is a petite girl, one could even say "Linglong", slightly shorter than Dongdong.

She was dressed in a classical-style paper-cut flower swimsuit, her long straight black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her little pink face revealed a faint coldness.

Her coldness is not hostile coldness, but a natural coldness that is natural and seems to be indifferent to everything.

Su Mo was a little surprised to see this girl, and muttered, "Commander Shangguan? ”

This girl's name is "Shangguan Li", and she is a popular supporting NPC in the game "Dawn".

Don't look at her petite and delicate body, she is actually about the same age as Su Mo, and she is a legitimate Lori.

Shangguan Li is the leader of the "Moxue Mercenary Group" in Crescent City, a year and a half earlier than Su Mo, he started at the beginning of last year, and it took 8 months to grow the mercenary group to 500 people, becoming a supernova, nicknamed "Yaoguang Star".

It is worth mentioning that the concept of "Seven Stars of the New Moon" has only emerged in recent years, and four of the current Seven Stars have been started last year.

Therefore, last year, the year of Dawn 151, is also known as the "heyday" of the mercenary world in Crescent City.

And this Shangguan Li was last year's "Rookie of the Year".

Being named the best rookie in the heyday of the rookie juxtaposition, you can imagine how strong the strength and leadership of this seemingly delicate girl is.

Su Mo actually had a two-sided relationship with Shangguan Li.

One was a hostage rescue meeting organized by Schenkov during the fall of the Rusty Wall.

The other was the mercenary summit held by Zhou Hannian this year, and they were all invited to attend.

It's just that neither of them had any communication at the time.

This chance encounter on St. Rivland Beach was the first time they spoke face-to-face.

Su Mo looked at Shangguan Li's paper-cut flower swimsuit: "Captain Shangguan is this?" ”

Shangguan Li said lightly: "Just like you, on vacation here, come a few days earlier than you." ”

Su Mo nodded and looked around at the beach: "The Moxue mercenaries are also in St. Rivland?" ”

Shangguan Li: "No, I don't like to get too close to the people under my hands." We work together, and we usually go our separate ways. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the fringe mercenary on the beach, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "It's you, who like to mingle with the people under you." ”

Su Mo had no grudges with Shangguan Li, and he was also very relaxed at this time, leaning on the recliner and stretching his waist: "I don't like that kind of tense team atmosphere. How tired it is to keep a straight face all day. ”

"It seems that you like an approachable image and want to take the affinity route." Shangguan Li looked at Su Mo's side face and said meaningfully, "I must admit that I really didn't expect that the Toothed Tiger would be destroyed by someone like you." ”

Su Mo asked rhetorically, "Oh? Who am people like me? ”

Shangguan Li: "Do you know what the outside world says about you now?" ”

Su Mo: "I really haven't paid attention to this. ”

Shangguan Li opened the folding fan he carried, slowly fanned himself, and said: "Su Mo, the leader of the marginal group, the super newcomer who is rising rapidly, the rookie of the year in Dawning 152, the nemesis of the Crow's Nest, and the hero of Crescent City who has saved countless children. ”

Su Mo: "Excessive. ”

Shangguan Li suddenly changed his words, and his voice became deeper: "But some people also call you a lackey of the authorities, a snobs clinging to the powerful, and a traitor to the frontiers. ”

Su Mo smiled slightly.

This kind of evaluation from the outside world is not unexpected.

Looking at the mercenary world of Crescent City, he was one of the few regimental leaders who came closest to the authorities.

And his means of becoming a seven-star are not so glamorous in a sense.

Because he is the only Seven Star who has annexed the hostile forces to ascend to the top.

The annexation of the normal way is nothing, the mercenary world is the strong, and it is not uncommon for big fish to eat small fish.

But this time, he annexed the Toothed Tiger, borrowing a lot of power from the authorities.

This kind of behavior is not bad rules, and no one says that it is not allowed.

It's your job to get the authorities to come forward.

It's just that everyone secretly can't help but be angry about it.

Needless to say, the title "traitor to the frontier" is not to be mentioned.

Originally, the Crow's Nest kidnapped the children of the powerful in the inner city, which made the border people bubble, and they felt that they could finally raise their eyebrows.

As a result, the entire plan was sabotaged by Su Mo, and the border area fell back into the quagmire, crushed by the huge inner city forces.

Now nine out of ten frontier people hate Su Mo, hating this "traitor" who went out of the border but worked for the inner city.

Of course, Su Mo didn't care about these comments.

Everything he does is worthy of his heart.

If outsiders want to scold, then scold.

No matter how much he scolds, it will not shake his pace of progress.

"It doesn't matter what people say." Su Mo smiled and said, "What matters now is whether the head of the Shangguan regiment also sees me like this?" ”

Shangguan Li shook his hand and said slowly: "Just like you said, it doesn't matter what others say about you, so it doesn't matter what I think of you, and I never care what others say about me." ”

"Just a word of advice to you - don't get too close to the authorities."

Su Mo shrugged: "Is there anything wrong with getting close to the authorities?" There are many things that are very difficult for us citizens to do, but for the people of the authorities, it is just a gesture, so why not make good use of this power? ”

Shangguan Li sneered: "Commander Su is really confident. Harnessing the power of the authorities? How do you know if you're taking advantage of someone else, or if you're being taken advantage of? ”

"Do you think that you call Schenkov brothers, today you help me, tomorrow I help you, giggling at the wine table, he really treats you as a brother?"

"I'm telling you, no. Politicians like him only have a future and interests in their eyes. He's nice to you just because you're useful to him. ”

"Every piece of assistance you ask for has been secretly marked with a price by him early on, and he will ask for it back tenfold or hundredfold in the future."

Speaking of this, Shangguan Li looked at Wang Yang, and his gaze became very deep: "And if one day, something really happens to you, and the harm of keeping you is greater than your effect, he will not hesitate to kick you away, just like throwing away a broken pipe." ”

Su Mo looked at Shangguan Li's side face and said nothing.

He knew why Shangguan Li was saying this.

I also know what contributed to her perception.

After a moment of silence, Su Mo slowly spoke: "You are still haunted by the fact that the authorities killed your father, right?" ”

Shangguan Li's pupils dilated violently, and there was a slight hostility in his eyes when he looked at him.

Su Mo leaned back on the recliner and said lazily: "Don't look at me like that, many people know about that incident, and the intelligence department on the edge is not vegetarian." ”

"Your father was a very famous mercenary, and he was very close to Amir, then a member of the ruling council of the city council and now the president of the city council, similar to my relationship with Schenkov."

"When you were 10 years old, your father offended the co-operative company in a commission, and he tried to erase the clues to hide it, so he went to Amir's help."

"As a result, Amir betrayed your father backhand in order to gain the favor of the company, and he died in the liquidation of the company."

Amir rose through the ranks and eventually became the current city council president.

A friendly smile appeared on Su Mo's face, and he picked up the beer and saluted Shangguan Liyi: "Captain Shangguan, in fact, you are not as cold as you seem on the surface, you are a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. ”

"You just said those things to me because you saw my relationship with Schenkov now, thought of my father back then, and wanted to give me some warning, right?"

Shangguan Li's face didn't change much, and he said coldly: "You are a little self-inflicted, I just feel it." ”

"I've put aside my father's business a long time ago, and I've had a few meals with the president of the Amir City Council, and I have a frank exchange about my father."

"We all agreed to turn over the old grudges, he will be his city council president, and I will be my mercenary, we will not disturb each other, and we can cooperate if we have the opportunity."

Shangguan Li said this, and his expression didn't seem to care.

But Su Mo knew that in those cold eyes, in the deepest depths, there was a cold flame that would never be extinguished.

Su Mo didn't say these old things anymore, picked up a skewer of grilled squid and handed it over: "Okay, let's not talk about business on vacation, I invite you to eat squid." ”

Shangguan Li: "I'm allergic to seafood." ”

Su Mo: "Oh, I'll eat it." ”

For the next period of time, the two of them talked about non-nutritious topics.

At this time, the wet KK trotted over: "Big brother, why are you sitting here?" It's such a nice weather, come down and swim. ”

When he saw Shangguan Li, he was stunned.

Su Mo and Shangguan Li's recliners are complete, and the two are relatively close to each other, so KK inevitably wants to be crooked.

KK smiled awkwardly and stepped back: "Big brother, you continue, I don't use a light bulb." ”

"Come back, what do you want?" Su Mo angrily called back KK and introduced, "This is Shangguan Li, the head of the Moxue Mercenary Regiment, our senior. ”

KK thought to himself: Good guy, the girl who is shorter than Dongdong is actually the mercenary captain.

He made the same mistake again, started the show on the spot, rubbed his nose, and said quite arrogantly: "Yo, when we met for the first time, my name is KK, the third master on the edge, and everyone on the road calls me Master K." ”

"Huh? Three-in-command? Shangguan Li was a little puzzled, "I only heard that there is a very capable second-master on the edge, when will a third-master emerge?" ”

KK smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "I gave the name of the second master to Dongdong, and I was too lazy to fight." If I'm serious, Bang Bang can knock her out with two punches. ”

Su Mo praised very cooperatively: "This time we can kill Ou Chenyu, and our three masters will take half of the credit." ”

Shangguan left with interest and sat up from the recliner: "So powerful? Have a face, and have a fight with me? ”

"Huh?" KK was dumbfounded, and looked at Su Mo in a panic, "Learn. You don't have to, right? ”

Su Mo snickered in his heart, and looked serious: "Don't be cowardly, Master K, you can beat Bangbang with two fists, and show your hand to the head of Shangguan." ”

KK turned his head away: "I'm going to play with the second master, you talk!" ”

Su Mo couldn't help laughing: "This kid usually likes to act, don't you mind." ”

Shangguan Li smiled briefly: "I can see it earlier, and I don't look like a person who has practiced when I walk." ”

Time passed slowly, and in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun turned the sky orange-red, stretching from the horizon to the end of the sea, and the beach was covered with a halo of light.

The waves on the sea are tumbling and surging in the breeze, the seagulls are soaring in the waves, and people are bathed in the sunset, lingering at this beautiful scenery.

Su Mo walked to the beach and shouted, "Knock knock, KK, almost." ”

Dong Dong beckoned to Su Mo in the sea: "Boss, it's not dark yet, let's play for a while." ”

Su Mo smiled: "There is time to play later, let's go eat first, I have a place at the seaside barbecue restaurant, there are a lot of delicious seafood." ”

"Okay, come on!" As soon as I heard that there was something delicious, Dongdong and KK were caught.

The three of them went back to their rooms to take a shower and change into refreshing clothes.

KK wore a beach shirt and five-point pants, and also learned from Chu Nanyi's appearance and put a pair of sunglasses on his head, which was the most touristy.

Dongdong changed into a cool floral short skirt, and her slippers revealed her smooth toes, full of youthful atmosphere.

The dinner place is an open open-air food stall by the sea, which is inexpensive and very close to the people.

Although there are high-end restaurants inside the Black Rose Hotel, Su Mo feels that since he is going to the beach to play, he should enjoy it outdoors more, and the food stalls are more fireworks.

At dinner time, the food stalls are very lively, and the seats are full of people in the morning, and laughter from near and far is intertwined.

Su Mo and the others sat down in the reserved place, the small candles on the table emitted a warm yellow light, and the stars twinkled in the night sky, making people feel that they were dining under the embrace of nature.

The development of cities in the consular districts of the world government varies greatly according to their historical conditions and geographical environment.

For example, Crescent City, although it is one of the famous "Five Giant Capitals", the standard of living is really not very good, those who have money are very rich, and those who have no money can't even afford to eat a hot meal.

St. Rivland, on the other hand, is located on the coast and is a bustling tourist city, with much better living conditions than Crescent City.

The seafood in this food stall is very cheap, the price is about the same as the artificial meat in Crescent City, and the amount is full, and a large table is ordered for three or five hundred monthly coins.

Bright red crayfish with claws spread and surrounded by barbecue dipping sauce. The golden garlic grilled scallops are just right on the heat and have a rich aroma. There are also crystalline shrimp, tender and fatty crab legs, which are full of meat in one bite.

Dongdong and KK have long lived a good life with Su Mo, and they are no longer the poor children who ate the last meal and didn't eat the next meal before, but there are really not many seafood in Crescent City.

The fresh seafood in front of them made the two of them move their index fingers, and their left and right hands started work at the same time, as if they were afraid that they would be gone when it was too late.

Just as the three of them were facing the sea breeze and enjoying this delicious dinner.

"Ahh Not far away, there was a sudden childish scream of a little girl.
