“Not bad, tired? You ran so far after all.”

Lin Zinuo asked in a great mood.

“Running that far is nothing, it’s just that you’re too heavy.”

“What? You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?”

Lin Zinuo was immediately annoyed, raising her little fist.

“Okay, okay, don’t make a fuss, I’m just kidding. Do you want something to drink?”

Su Mo looked around, seeing many small shops in the distance.

“Get me a cup of milk tea. It’ll be the first milk tea of autumn.”

Lin Zinuo said, feeling good.

“Okay, wait here for me.”

Su Mo said, and then left.

Lin Zinuo stretched, walked to the lake, and leaned against the stone railing, gazing at the lake view.

The cool breeze felt wonderful, and she hadn't been so happy in a long time.

However, her good mood was quickly ruined. An abrupt voice sounded behind her.

“Hello, beautiful lady.”

Lin Zinuo turned her head and saw a young man with decent looks, dressed fashionably, holding a paintbrush, and with a confident expression on his face, standing behind her.

Behind him was a group of young men and women, seemingly his fans.

Lin Zinuo looked at the uninvited guest with a puzzled expression.

“Who are you? What do you want?”

“Let me introduce myself. I’m Luk, a great painter. I’m out here looking for scenery. Can you help me complete a painting?”

Luk asked confidently.

Lin Zinuo refused without even thinking.

“No.”

After saying that, Lin Zinuo didn't want to bother with them. She was used to being hit on, and had seen plenty of people who dressed fashionably and thought they were charming.

“Miss, don’t be so quick to refuse. This is a rare opportunity.”

“I said I don’t want to. Do you not understand, or what?”

Lin Zinuo was extremely annoyed. This guy was really like chewing gum, impossible to get rid of.

Seeing Lin Zinuo’s opposition, Luk smiled and said, “Miss, look over here. We’re live-streaming here, and there are tons of fans watching. If you’re willing to be part of my scenery, you might become famous, maybe even a star, the center of attention.”

Luk was extremely confident. In this day and age, what girl didn't love vanity? Even the prettiest girls wouldn't pass up this opportunity.

“No.”

Lin Zinuo replied firmly.

“Miss, you don’t need to be shy. You need to follow your heart. People living in this world shouldn't be timid. They need to let their nature free…”

Luk kept trying to persuade her.

His fans behind him also chimed in with sarcastic remarks.

“That’s right, Luk is giving you face. Don’t be ungrateful…”

…

“What’s going on?”

At this moment, Su Mo walked over with two cups of milk tea, his brow slightly furrowed.

“They insist on me being a model, and won’t take no for an answer.”

Lin Zinuo explained to Su Mo, annoyed.

Su Mo stood directly in front of Lin Zinuo, blocking Luk.

“Please leave.”

Hearing Su Mo's words, Lin Zinuo's annoyed mood turned into inexplicable joy. With Su Mo standing in front of her, she felt inexplicably at ease. No one was more reliable than him.

Whether it was fearlessness or youthful vigor, the young man in front of him had a strange confidence, and said to Su Mo, “Sir, I believe you are a reasonable person. You wouldn’t want to deprive your friend of such a rare opportunity, would you? Being my model is her honor. The paintings I paint are exhibited in high-end, well-known art exhibitions.”

Su Mo sighed. He looked up at the young man in front of him and said,

“I don’t know what you guys are thinking. We told you no already, don’t you understand? And your cheesy pick-up lines really aren't working.”

“Why are you talking like that? I just wanted to give this lady a painting, to record her most beautiful moment. Why are you being so petty?”

The young man replied unhappily.

Lin Zinuo’s face was full of smiles. There was nothing better than being protected by someone you liked, even if he was forced to.

Su Mo was also a little annoyed. This guy was like a leech, so he replied in a bad tone.

“I’m telling you seriously, we don’t need it. Now please move aside, or you’ll bear the consequences.”

“What do you want? I advise you to be sensible, that way everyone wins.”

The young man in front of him instinctively took a step back, but then a group of so-called friends emerged from behind him, standing beside him to support him.

“Sigh, it’s really impossible to reason with a dog.”

Su Mo’s tone was calm, but he didn’t hold back when he took action, immediately punching the young man in the eye!

Ah~~~

The smile on Lin Zinuo’s face suddenly froze. She was also stunned. What was happening? Su Mo actually made a move…

“Brothers, let’s go!”

The young man behind him finally came back to his senses, and they all rushed up.

A cold light flashed in Su Mo’s eyes, and he punched out…

Screams kept ringing out from the girls at the scene.

…

After a long time, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo walked out of the police station after giving their statements.

Lin Zinuo said with some lingering fear.

“Why did you really do it? There were so many of them. What if you got hurt?”

“Hey, just a bunch of rookies. Not enough for a warm-up. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m fine.”

Su Mo said nonchalantly.

“Well, it’s just that it was hard enough for you to accompany me out for a trip, and we ended up wasting all our time at the police station.”

Lin Zinuo said disappointedly.

“It doesn’t matter. When you’re free, I’ll take you out to play again.”

Su Mo said casually.

Lin Zinuo immediately smiled and replied, “You said it!”

“Uh…”

Su Mo’s expression was a little strange. Did he say the wrong thing?

At this time, the young man also walked out of the police station with his friends. Su Mo glanced over, and they were so frightened that they quickly ran away.

Lin Zinuo was about to burst out laughing. It was really interesting.

Buzz~~

At this moment, Lin Zinuo’s phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and seeing that it was Zhao Han calling, quickly answered it.

“Sister Zhao.”

…

“Okay, okay, I’ll log in right away.”

Lin Zinuo chatted with Zhao Han for a few words, then quickly hung up the phone.

“What happened?”

Su Mo asked suspiciously.

“The fleet is in big trouble. We’re under attack by Variant monsters. It’s said that there are even IV-type Variants inside. The fleet has already started preparing for battle. I have to log in quickly.”

Lin Zinuo explained to Su Mo simply.

“Let’s take a taxi back.”

Su Mo replied very simply.

------------------------

Not long after, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo returned to the internet cafe. He opened a private gaming booth for Lin Zinuo, and Lin Zinuo rushed upstairs.

Su Mo returned to the bar to continue working. He opened the forum to browse.

He didn't know until he looked, but he was shocked!

A special exploration team had already arrived at the Lost Continent. This team had a total of five members, and they flew there forcibly in a special aircraft.
