Chapter 36 Leaving the Forest
Chapter 36 Leaving the Forest
Come to think of it, it's no wonder everyone was slow to react.
Firstly, they came to Sunset Forest for training, and to reduce interference from the outside world, they usually put away their personal computers, only checking them occasionally for any urgent messages.
No one would idly browse the StarNet all the time. If that were the case, they would rather stay at home comfortably than come out to suffer.
Secondly, Gu Heng, Xiao Yi, and Li Yong were greatly shocked last night. The benefits that the spiritual fruit brought them were very obvious. They were all busy absorbing energy to consolidate their strength, just like Mo Chen and the others.
As for Mo Ze, he hadn't used his new personal computer much since buying it. Aside from contacting his parents and Deputy General Gu Rong, he only used it to manage the shops. And since traveling with Lin Shushu, he had even forgotten about the two shops he still had to manage.
Therefore, he was unaware that his parents were going crazy with worry because they weren't getting a response from him.
As for Lin Shushu, let's not even mention her. She's a fake interstellar person; she might not even know where the entrance to the StarNet gossip is!
During the journey, Ning Shiyu noticed that some of the boys in her group seemed to have changed, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She just assumed that they had all recovered their strength after resting for a day yesterday.
Gu Heng and the others actually felt a little guilty, since they hadn't left those magical fruits for the two girls last night. So when Ning Shiyu looked them over, they all felt a little awkward.
The closer they got to the edge of the forest, the lower the danger level became, so they made a relatively smooth journey throughout the day without encountering any dangerous beasts.
As evening approached, they finally emerged from the Sunset Forest.
After spending a few days together, Mo Chen and the others developed a friendship with Gu Heng, Xiao Yi, and Li Yong. Previously, they had only met briefly, but now they were friends who had fought side-by-side, and they even made a promise to team up again for future training missions.
Since the two teams didn't come together, there's no need for them to go back together.
After arriving at the space station, the two teams separated.
Before leaving, Xiao Qin gave Lin Shushu a gloating look. Lin Shushu was completely confused and didn't understand what was wrong with her. Did she want to lock her in the dark room again?
After Gu Heng and the others left, Mo Chen looked at Mo Ze with anticipation.
"Brother, are you really not coming back to the Imperial Star with us?" Although he had asked this many times on the way, Mo Chen was still unwilling to give up and wanted to change his brother's decision before they parted ways.
If he succeeded, he would have countless spiritual fruits to eat. Just thinking about the taste of the spiritual fruits made him unconsciously swallow the saliva that was about to spill out.
Mo Ze did not answer, but his expression remained indifferent, clearly leaving no room for negotiation.
"What about Sister Shushu? Aren't you going to invite her to the Imperial Star? Maybe she'd like to go?" Mo Chen was persistent; his real goal was to lure Lin Shushu to the Imperial Star.
Mo Ze was taken aback. He hadn't asked Lin Shushu what she thought. He preferred to enjoy the beauty of being alone with her, but he hadn't considered whether she wanted to see the prosperity of the Imperial Star.
Seeing the guilty look in Mo Ze's eyes, Lin Shushu gave him a reassuring smile and then said to Mo Chen, "I will go to the Imperial Star, but not now."
Hearing Lin Shushu's rejection, Mo Chen's face fell. Then he wouldn't get any sweet fruit.
Seemingly understanding his thoughts, Lin Shushu took out a box of spiritual fruits that she had prepared beforehand and pushed it towards him.
Smelling the familiar fruity scent wafting from the box, Mo Chen's face immediately lit up with a smile. "Thank you, Sister Shushu, I love you so much." He then tried to hug Lin Shushu, but Mo Ze ruthlessly blocked him.
"So this is what you really wanted, huh? Put it away and get out of here," Mo Ze said irritably, trying to shoo him away.
Looking at Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, and He Fan standing to the side, Lin Shushu took out three more baskets and gave one to each of them.
"We have it too?" Ji Feng and the others were taken aback, then overjoyed.
They were well aware of the preciousness of these spiritual fruits. They thought that having followed Mo Chen for so many days was already a great blessing, but they never expected that Lin Shushu would send them a basket of them separately before they parted. This made them extremely happy.
"It's just a few fruits, nothing special. I'm glad you like them," Lin Shushu said with a smile.
If those who desperately search for spiritual fruits heard this, they would probably be furious. The spiritual fruits they had sought by all sorts of methods without success were being given away so easily, and people were even saying it wasn't worth it. Wasn't this like stabbing them in the heart?
Having received an affirmative answer, Ji Feng and the others carefully stored the spiritual fruit into their spatial storage. They were reluctant to eat it themselves, as such a precious fruit should be saved for their loved ones to enjoy.
After seeing off the reluctant Mo Chen, Mo Ze felt a sense of peace and quiet, and he could finally enjoy some alone time with Shu Shu again.
Before he could finish celebrating, he suddenly heard Lin Shushu ask, "Mo Ze, have we forgotten something important?"
How could that be? What could he possibly forget? Mo Ze was about to deny it when memories flooded back to him.
"Brother Ze, as my online store administrator, you don't seem to be doing a very good job!" Lin Shushu teased.
She only realized she seemed to have forgotten something when she was delivering the spirit fruits to Mo Chen and the others.
When she sent the spirit fruit to Mo Ze's parents, it caused a sensation on the Imperial Star and sparked a craze for finding spirit fruits.
After learning about these things from Gu Rong, they discussed opening another shop.
Finally, the shop opened and the spirit fruits were put on the shelves, but they seemed to have forgotten to check if anyone had placed an order.
If no one orders, that's fine. But if someone places an order and they haven't shipped it after half a month, they'll be reported by others.
It's her own fault, really. After opening the shop, she immediately had the idea of traveling and then spent all her time preparing for it without ever thinking about checking for orders.
After leaving Star M19, she completely forgot about the newly opened shop. If she hadn't just delivered the spirit fruit to Mo Chen and the others, she wouldn't have remembered it at all!
Mo Ze also thought of what they had forgotten and comforted them, "It's okay. We didn't advertise when we opened the shop, so maybe no one has discovered it yet. Besides, good things come to those who wait. It's no big deal to make them wait a little longer."
Given the efficacy of the spiritual fruit, even if the goods aren't shipped for a month, no one will dare to complain. If you really can't wait, just return them.
That's right, being a seller's market gives us that much confidence.
Even so, Mo Ze still wanted to check out the situation at the StarNet store.
When he finally found the quantum computer in the corner of the spatial hub, a barrage of messages bombarded him. Upon closer inspection, 90 of the 99+ messages were from his mother, while the remaining messages were from his father and Gu Rong.
He couldn't help but worry that something might have happened.
