Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1594 - 1269: Preparation (First Update)

Not long after, Su Mo returned to the hotel.

While packing his luggage, he opened the electronic bracelet to search for tickets to the Mechanical Empire.

As soon as he searched, a list of flight information popped up.

There are tons of flights between the Laurel Kingdom and the Mechanical Empire, with one almost every five minutes, so tickets are hardly an issue.

Su Mo pondered for a moment and then purchased a flight departing in two hours.

He was in such a rush mainly because the Timalclo Star Sky Arena differs from traditional arenas; it is primarily composed of three key structures.

First is the competition Starry Sky Arena, situated in the Star Sea between the Laurel Kingdom and the Mechanical Empire.

Next are the two grandstands, located respectively on the main stars of the Laurel Kingdom and the Mechanical Empire.

The grandstand on the Laurel Kingdom’s side is more inclined to be open to ordinary travelers.

Whereas the grandstand of the Mechanical Empire is more inclined to be open to personnel from the Star Ring City’s Military Department and its nationals. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Additionally, most importantly, the Mechanical Empire will open private hangars to all participants as the competition begins. At that time, the banned mecha will be uniformly transported to everyone’s assigned private hangar for final debugging, so he needs to go ahead for preparations.

Knock, knock!

A series of knocks sounded.

"Come in."

Su Mo called out.

Qian Chengxue walked in and, seeing Su Mo packing his things, asked, "Are you leaving?"

"The competition is about to start. I need to go to the Mechanical Empire to prepare."

"Alright, we’ll be cheering for you here."

Qian Chengxue nodded emphatically in response.

"Okay."

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"But Su Mo, just do your best in the competition. Don’t push yourself too hard or take any extreme risks. Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me if you win the championship; I just want you to be safe."

Qian Chengxue advised with some concern.

"Rest assured, it’s not a life-and-death fight, just a competition. I’ll be careful."

Su Mo reached out to hold Qian Chengxue’s soft hand in reassurance.

"Alright, I’ll help you pack."

...

Before long, Su Mo arrived at the Laurel Kingdom’s interstellar airport.

He smoothly boarded the designated flight.

Sitting in the seat, Su Mo opened the Star Ring City’s forum and began browsing posts.

As the first competition lineup was announced, the entire Star Ring Forum burst into a frenzy.

Daily views reached an all-time high.

Additionally, the Star Ring Forum opened a special betting channel.

Everyone can place bets on different contestants through the betting channel, participating in gambling.

Of course, the odds depend on the amount bet on the contestants.

It’s noteworthy that all betting funds are managed by Star Ring City, so there’s no fear of the house running away.

There are two types of gameplay.

One is directly betting on who will win the championship; you can choose to bet on seven Royal Order candidates or any ordinary participant.

All the money bet on winning the championship will be distributed proportionally to those who win.

Another is single-match betting, which is regular betting, with returns depending on the amount bet on the opposite side.

Su Mo was startled to see his name; the game just started, and someone has already bet 700 billion Star Coins on him to win the championship.

Of course, he’s not the most popular; the most popular is Griros from the Mechanical Empire, with over 10 trillion Star Coins bet on him to win the championship.

Su Mo was left speechless.

The creator·Swallower said in a deep voice, "Want to go all-in on yourself?"

"Ahem, better not. I’ll still play it bit by bit."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

"As you wish."

The creator·Swallower couldn’t be bothered to mock Su Mo.

After browsing the forum for a while, Su Mo tried searching for tickets to the competition, resulting in a pile of selectable events popping up.

He couldn’t help but fall into thought.

Due to the captain-level selection happening simultaneously.

Therefore, within the same batch, you can basically only watch one match.

"Whose battle events do you want to see?"

The creator·Swallower, seeing Su Mo hadn’t moved for a while, asked.

"First, watch Wang Hai’s battle. Although Divine Guard·Modified’s performance should not be bad, I’ve never had a real battle, so the exact performance is hard to say. So, first, watch Wang Hai’s actual combat to have a sense of it."

Su Mo explained after giving it a thought.

"Alright."

The creator·Swallower nodded in agreement.

"Well, let’s buy a ticket first."

Su Mo decided, then directly entered the command.

Quickly, a message indicating successful ticket purchase popped up.

After everything was settled, Su Mo couldn’t help but close his eyes for a nap.

In the evening.

A small interstellar ship accurately landed at the Mechanical Empire’s Imperial Star Airport.

Su Mo dragged his luggage off the ship.

A round mechanical ball flew towards him, speaking in a synthesized voice.

"Welcome to the Mechanical Empire, I am numbered NO.75423, the intelligent service provider. Can I assist you with booking hotels, car rentals, dining, leisure services, etc.?"

"No need."

Su Mo waved it off, to be honest, he’s not comfortable with such attentive services.

Too much intelligence almost leaves no room for privacy.

Su Mo looked around, the vast interstellar airport appeared prosperous and advanced, filled with portable service robots and a variety of colorful star advertisements.

The sensory experience here is completely different from the Laurel Kingdom.

After a general observation, Su Mo walked towards the exit while simultaneously operating his bracelet to make a call.

Beep beep~

Soon, Zhang Hao’s image appeared, he shouted excitedly.

"Boss."

"Uh, where are you?"

"I just followed the mecha transport, moved from the closed hangar to the SJK-06 stadium’s dedicated hangar."

"I’m on my way."

Su Mo said before hanging up the call.

Moments later, Su Mo left the interstellar airport and arrived on the bustling city streets.

Buildings with cyberpunk style lined his view, small aircraft speeding past in mid-air.

On the streets, you could see many young people dressed in diverse styles, humming and singing various songs, playing explosive music.

At this point, several girls in white vests, wearing exaggerated metal earrings, and provocatively dressed, approached Su Mo.

"Sir, need special services? It’s very cheap."

...

Su Mo ignored the invitation of the hot girls in front and headed straight to the area marked with a flying vehicle call sign.

When he reached that area, he raised his hand.

Quickly, an SCF-02 type mole small aircraft landed, its transparent cover opened, revealing a fashionable uncle who smiled with white teeth and asked.

"Sir, please get in."

"Go to the Timalclo Star Sky Arena’s match backup area."

Su Mo got in and spoke simply and efficiently.

"No problem, brother, you look familiar, wait, could you be a tournament participant?"

The uncle kept looking at Su Mo, then reacted.

"Yeah."

Su Mo, somewhat surprised, didn’t deny.
