No one understands better than her (Chapter 153)
Being stared at by several team leaders, Mo Lin felt a jolt of panic. Although he really wanted to tell them that even though he was the leader of the Gold Digging Team, he had no control over Gu Luoyu!
On the contrary, he had to tread carefully, fearing that he might anger the big shot at any moment, which would be disastrous. It could be said that he was in a very humble position.
However, most of the espers in the base were either arrogant or neurotic.
Dealing with them, one wrong move could get you killed. So, the current interaction was already considered good, at least it was safe, and Mo Lin didn’t feel that his dignity was being compromised.
How much was dignity worth? When a poor man’s pockets were cleaner than his face, it was better not to cling to dignity.
Making money was the priority.
So he quickly spoke up: "I think the benefits outweigh the risks. After all, with an esper accompanying us, we won’t have to worry about being attacked by contaminated creatures along the way."
Don’t expect him to persuade Gu Luoyu to protect the entire convoy.
Just lie down, close your eyes, and dream, everything is possible in dreams.
"Captain Mo, you’ve dealt with espers before. You know they’re not ordinary people. With so many people in our convoy, we need to make plans in advance."
The leader of the Dominator Team couldn’t hold back anymore, and the hints in his words were already very clear.
Although the mission required each team to have at least eight members, there was no upper limit. Not all teams were as weak as the Gold Digging Team; their members were quite capable.
As a result, the other four teams had brought a lot of people for this mission, with each team having no fewer than thirty members.
Combined, it was a very large number of people, unlike Mo Lin’s pitiful team of only eight.
With so many people, safety was indeed a concern, but… Mo Lin didn’t take the bait.
No matter what others said, he looked up at the sky, down at the ground, and then glanced around at the passersby and the trash on the street. Basically, he looked everywhere except at the team leaders standing beside him.
Such a shameless attitude almost made the other team leaders laugh in frustration. The reason they were friendly to Mo Lin was that they hoped to establish a connection with the esper in his team.
Their short-term goal was to complete the mission smoothly, and their long-term goal was to poach the esper.
A mere wilderness mutual aid Gold Digging Team, at a glance, was just a group of old, weak, women, and children.
What good development could they possibly have? Although they didn’t know how Mo Lin had managed to recruit an esper into his team, if he could do it, so could they!
Mo Lin didn’t know that the other team leaders had such grand ambitions. He only felt that the atmosphere had become tense, causing him to frown slightly.
The mission hadn’t even started yet, and there were already disagreements. This trip was likely to be full of twists and turns!
Regarding the earlier agreement to have an esper accompany them, Mo Lin wasn’t lying. He genuinely hoped that other espers would protect everyone’s safety.
Others hadn’t experienced it, but he had previously encountered an S-level contaminated creature in the wilderness. Last time, it was only thanks to Ling Lan’s suicidal attack that they managed to win a bitter victory. Otherwise, all the miners would have died there.
Although Mo Lin’s best-selling items recently were various pieces of information about the safe zone, in reality, Mo Lin had made his fortune from wilderness information… Besides the special contaminated plant gathering spots, there were also small contaminated creatures that could be captured.
Therefore, Mo Lin knew from other sources that the wilderness was becoming increasingly chaotic, and high-level contaminated creatures were starting to roam around…
Before accepting the team mission, Mo Lin had just observed and hadn’t taken it to heart. But after accepting the mission today, Mo Lin had only thought of this unverified information half an hour ago.
Better safe than sorry.
He couldn’t gamble with his own life.
So, having other espers protect all the teams would be great. That way, Gu Luoyu could focus on protecting the members of the Gold Digging Team, significantly increasing their safety!
The other teams didn’t have espers to protect them.
Thinking this way, Mo Lin felt that he was truly the best team leader in the world, so considerate of his team members!!!
However, the other team leaders were frustrated. No matter what they said, they couldn’t persuade Mo Lin. They realized that they couldn’t approach the esper in his team through Mo Lin and needed to think of other ways.
As for the three espers assigned by the base, they had no choice but to accept it.
They had no other option; they couldn’t win in a fight.
Now, they could only hope that these three people would behave and not cause any trouble along the way…
The discussion among the team leaders ended without any resolution. Mo Lin was like a bystander dragged in to make up the numbers, and once it was over, he was kicked aside…
However, knowing that espers were coming was good news, and Mo Lin was in a great mood.
But thinking about Ye Sheng, the esper magnet, Mo Lin felt it necessary to give her a reminder.
Rein in your charm!
Please don’t show off your personal charm during the mission and end up mesmerizing the other espers, only to suffer the consequences.
Especially since, unlike before, this time there was a big shot watching closely.
Don’t let things spiral out of control.
Just as Mo Lin was about to convey his most sincere wishes to Ye Sheng, he turned his head and saw Ye Sheng shamelessly hugging one of Gu Luoyu’s arms, her head tilted happily against it, her smiling lips almost flying off her face.
She looked like she was saying, "I’m laying my cards on the table, no more pretending. I’m directly confirming our relationship to shock everyone."
And Gu Luoyu, who was being hugged, showed no signs of resistance, remaining quiet and letting Ye Sheng do as she pleased, not putting up any fight at all.
At this moment, the open-top four-wheeled vehicle seemed to be emitting pink heart-shaped bubbles.
The sweet atmosphere made Mo Lin feel like a dog kicked by a couple on the side of the road.
His eyes were about to go blind from the overwhelming display of affection, and he instantly forgot about any reminders, only wanting to turn around and walk far away.
Before these two had clarified their relationship, they seemed quite normal. How had they become so clingy now?
Indeed, Ye Sheng was the real deal when it came to attracting espers. No one was better at it than her!
As Mo Lin stood nearby with an indescribable expression, staring straight at them, the intensity of his gaze made it impossible for Ye Sheng to ignore.
She looked up and saw that the discussion among the team leaders had ended, and she became curious.
She blinked, then turned to look at Gu Luoyu, her dark eyes sparkling.
Hehe, espers had super senses. She must have heard the conversation, right?
Even without speaking, Gu Luoyu understood and explained to her: "The base has arranged for three espers to accompany us on this transport mission. The other team leaders feel that traveling with espers is unsafe."
"Huh? Unsafe? But, Gu Luoyu, you’re also an esper!"
"Maybe they think that since I joined the team, I must be easy to talk to, and we can communicate rather than resorting to killing at the slightest disagreement."
Gu Luoyu smiled. As she spoke, the three belated espers finally arrived!
A combination of two women and one man, they seemed familiar with each other.
And when Gu Luoyu saw them, she showed an expression of expectation. Without waiting for Ye Sheng to ask, she proactively revealed: "They are members of Esper Squad 1, the ones responsible for handing over the transport mission.”
