…

Not to mention how much Su Mo’s words left KK utterly shocked.

At this moment, Tareg was incredibly excited, as if she had found a kindred spirit among the vast sea of people.

She shook hands with Su Mo heavily: “Finally, I have found someone who understands me. I’m so relieved!”

The two passionately discussed topics on animal protection, from rescuing animals from slaughterhouses, to refusing to eat meat, to advocating for a vegetarian lifestyle, feeling a mix of emotions, regretting not having met sooner.

They even agreed that next time, they’d intercept trucks carrying white-feathered chickens on the road, rescue them, and return them to nature to gain freedom.

KK listened with his jaw dropped, wondering if he was dreaming.

He stared blankly at Su Mo, who was extremely enthusiastic towards Tareg, suddenly coming to a realization.

Oh!

Could it be that the big brother is into this girl! Deliberately trying to please her with his words!

It’s my fault, I almost ruined the big brother’s romantic affair!

KK immediately put on a serious face, showing a pained expression: “After listening to both of you, I deeply realize how primitive and outdated my past views were!”

“From today onwards, I will reject all meat products! Although, I can’t afford them anyway…”

“In any case, I will go vegetarian with the big brother, dedicated to a better future for the little animals!”

Su Mo didn’t know that KK had misunderstood, thinking to himself: This guy reacts quite quickly.

So he secretly gave KK a thumbs-up.

KK’s guilty soul found its way back, Tareg was extremely pleased: “Realizing your mistakes and correcting them is a good thing. Next time, come with me to the barbecue restaurant to persuade more people there, and you’ll surely become a great animal protector.”

Finished speaking, she turned to Su Mo: “Can you give me your email? I’ll send you the project introduction, and we can discuss the follow-up then.”

Su Mo happily agreed: “Of course, I’ll contact you as soon as I finish my current work!”

After exchanging emails, Tareg even introduced to Su Mo the current status of her charity fund project, hinting that he should donate more money for the sake of innocent pigs and cows.

After the conversation, they waved goodbye.

Once the animal protection girl left sight, Su Mo felt his stomach churn, crouching by the roadside, covering his mouth in discomfort.

KK asked with concern: “Big brother, what’s wrong?”

Su Mo: “I feel like throwing up…”

KK: “Feel like throwing up? Shouldn’t you be happy when talking to someone you like?”

Su Mo was puzzled: “What do you mean talking to someone I like?”

KK: “Tareg, don’t you like her?”

Su Mo: “Are you insulting me?”

KK was startled: “Seeing how passionately you were talking with her, I thought you were interested in her and was even thinking of playing wingman for you.”

Su Mo chuckled angrily and pulled KK over, saying: “I was talking to her to get close because the person we are investigating, Ou Chenyu, might know her.”

KK: “How do you know?”

Su Mo casually replied: “I just know.”

KK pondered: “Ah…so you want to start from the animal protection topic that interests Tareg, build a good relationship with her, to further investigate Ou Chenyu who might know her?”

Su Mo: “Yes.”

KK breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite relieved: “I was just thinking, there’s no way the big brother is as foolish as her… By the way, since she might know Ou Chenyu, why didn’t you just ask her directly earlier?”

Su Mo patted his head: “Silly, in her eyes, I’m a stranger. Asking out of the blue, ‘Do you know Ou Chenyu?’ would surely make her suspicious.”

“We have to find a chance, naturally and without pretense, to draw the information from her.”

KK: “You’re right, I’ll follow your lead then.”

Su Mo: “Let’s head home first, we have a lot to do next. In the meantime, use my name to communicate with her more via email and get familiar.”

KK thought for a moment and asked: “She’s running a charity fund project, likely wanting more than just chatting… What if she asks us for money or sponsorship?”

Su Mo patted KK’s shoulder: “Don’t worry, just negotiate as you see fit. The key is to gain her trust; money is not an issue.”

KK nodded: “Alright, I’ll do my best.”

Su Mo: “Come on, let’s go buy some lamb for a hotpot at home.”

…

When they got home, they immediately saw Future curled up in a corner, clutching her hair, eyes wide open, dark circles heavier than ever, mumbling something.

Su Mo hurried over to ask: “Future, what happened?”

“Unbelievable… so unbelievable…” Future shook Su Mo’s arm, eyes glistening with excitement, “I dismantled and studied that smart gun’s bullets this week, guess what I discovered?!”

“Those bullets have complete microelectronic integrated circuits etched inside, forming a precise guidance system! Do you know what this means?!”

“Those aren’t bullets! They are miniature missiles the size of bullets! It’s amazing! It’s amazing! The designer of this gun is definitely a genius!”

The once dejected little scientist in the sewer was now so excited, waving her arms, leaving Su Mo with a satisfied smile.

He cleared his throat and asked: “Do you think you can find a way to mass-produce these bullets?”

Future touched her chin, hesitantly said: “I’ve only seen this kind of technology theoretically, it’s quite difficult…”

Su Mo deliberately teased her: “Oh…so there’s something a genius can’t handle. Maybe let’s just forget it, we won’t do something too difficult.”

Future wasn’t happy, hands on her hips: “Difficult? Who says! In this world, if it’s about hardware applications, there’s nothing I can’t handle! Just takes time!”

She raised three fingers, promising: “Three months, at most three months, I’ll not only decipher the bullet technology but also improve it beyond the original!”

Su Mo successfully provoked her, smiling: “Well then, I’ll wait for your good news. Let me know if you need any equipment.”

After eliminating the Red Blade Association, Haywood took over the remaining debts and agreed to split any collected money equally.

Recently, money kept coming in, sometimes thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, adding up to over two hundred thousand in a week, with more to come, making it no problem to equip Future with more devices.

Over the next week, KK was intensively chatting with Tareg.

KK, that little drama king, threw out smooth lines effortlessly, making Tareg feel like they were long-lost friends.

On Su Mo’s end, aside from completing Audiana’s assignments, he would also go to the border to spar with Tank in his free time.

Since his dual blood codes advanced to the “Middle Tier of Awakening,” Su Mo’s strength had greatly increased.

Although he still couldn’t defeat Tank, he could put enough pressure on him that he couldn’t take him lightly.

Moreover, during practice sessions, Su Mo had been consuming Blood Circulation Factors.

With the aid of supplements, through actual combat training, he was making a push towards the “High Tier of Awakening!”

…

After finishing today’s practice, Su Mo stayed at Haywood’s for a meal.

Eliminating the Red Blade Association and transferring debts last time greatly improved their relationship, and Haywood treated Su Mo with real meat, allowing him to have a satisfying meal.

After the meal, Su Mo received a call from KK.

“Big brother, Tareg has invited you to Libetong Mansion in two days to discuss the project.”
