142: Chapter 142 A Gentleman, Refined and Tender

"Is there something you need?"

After shaking hands, Chen Mo took the initiative to speak.

"Nothing much, I just want to make a friend." As Mi Su spoke, Divine Power flowed from his fingertips, constructing a string of shimmering numbers out of thin air—it was his Virtual Universe communication ID.

"Is that so?"

Chen Mo smiled, but still opened his virtual watch to record the number.

"You two Students, you should add me too. More friends mean more paths, right?"

"Us?"

"Us?" Wu Feng and Du Ruo were both stunned, exchanging a glance. They had assumed Mi Su was specifically targeting Chen Mo.

"That's right. To be honest, I've already added more than half of the Students in this Special Recruitment Class." Mi Su's chubby face was full of smugness.

"Why are you adding so many people?"

Du Ruo asked in surprise, but still opened his virtual watch.

Wu Feng hesitated for a moment, then also chose to add this person as a friend.

The other party wasn't wrong—in a place like The Stars where Prodigies gather, having more friends definitely opens up more paths.

"Just a little business." A smile spread across Mi Su's round, chubby face. After confirming that all three had added him as a friend, he spoke again.

"Rest assured, since you're all Students of the Special Recruitment Class, I certainly won't let you suffer any losses."

Mi Su chuckled, cupped his hands in a salute to the three of them, and then stepped back into the crowd.

"This guy is really interesting. He's actually doing business in The Stars?"

Du Ruo looked at the communication ID on his watch and couldn't help but chuckle.

"If I had the channels, I'd actually like to do a little business in The Stars, too."

Chen Mo said, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Why?" Du Ruo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Because this is The Stars." Chen Mo said with a light laugh.

"You can check online. Almost all the major financial groups in the Federation have partnerships with The Stars.

Not to mention the extraterrestrial battlefields, the annual output of the Quán Xīng Domain alone is enough to support a super financial group. This fatty is just here to be a middleman."

"Actually, it's not just him. Many upper-year Students are doing this kind of work, and the profits are quite substantial. However..."

Chen Mo changed the subject: "The key is that you need channels and capital. Don't underestimate this fatty; anyone who dares to do this in their first year—not to mention their actual ability—must be very wealthy."

Chen Mo said with a sigh, then looked at Wu Feng, whose expression was a bit strange.

"What's wrong?"

"There's someone..." Wu Feng lowered his voice and gestured in a certain direction. "They've been staring at us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo and Du Ruo were both stunned and immediately looked in the direction Wu Feng indicated.

At a single glance, Chen Mo recognized the person's identity—or rather, he recognized the sword at the person's waist.

"It's fine, it's an acquaintance."

As he spoke, Chen Mo walked up to greet him.

Seeing Chen Mo walk over, the youth with a long sword at his waist breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had only just confirmed Chen Mo's identity.

"Long time no see. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met in reality."

"That is indeed the case." Chen Mo nodded with a smile and took the initiative to introduce the two people beside him to Sun Baifeng: "This is Du Ruo, and this is Wu Feng. They are both my close friends from class."

After introducing the two, Chen Mo pointed to Sun Baifeng: "This is Sun Baifeng, a friend I met in the Virtual Universe."

"Hello."

Sun Baifeng extended his right hand and shook hands with Wu Feng and Du Ruo respectively.

However, before the group could exchange a few pleasantries, the surroundings suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and slowly turned to look at the figure in white that had suddenly appeared at the exit of the illusion tower.

"So beautiful!"

A female Student from the Elite Class couldn't help but whisper.

In fact, it wasn't just her; a look of amazement flashed through the eyes of the vast majority of the female Students present, and there was even a faint trace of feeling inferior.

He had a male body but a feminine appearance, yet there was no sense of effeminacy; instead, he exuded an air of elegance and humility.

Facing the scrutiny of the Students, Du Ming kept a smile on his lips. His gentle gaze swept over every Student present, finally resting on Chen Mo.

"Alright, everyone take your Students and leave!" Director Lu Yu swept his gaze over the instructors beside him and said in a deep voice.

"Understood, Director." More than a dozen instructors from the Special Recruitment Class immediately stepped forward and walked toward the Students in their respective classes.

Kong Hanshu did not leave. He simply raised his hand, and the twelve God Selection Class Students, including Chen Mo, were transported to the open space in front of him.

"Elder Lu." Kong Hanshu cupped his hands in a salute to Director Lu Yu beside him.

"Go ahead." Director Lu Yu smiled, his gaze lingering briefly on both Chen Mo and Du Ming.

Kong Hanshu nodded. An invisible force immediately enveloped the twelve God Selection Class Students, and together with him, they turned into a stream of light and flew straight toward the floating archipelago in the sky.

The Stars has three treasures.

Chen Mo had already seen the first two treasures: the illusion tower and the cross-domain star ring standing in the center of the continent.

As for what the third treasure was...

Chen Mo, being carried into the high sky by Kong Hanshu, couldn't help but look toward those floating islands, a trace of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
