The fishing boat sailed on the sea and entered the coast of St. Rivland safely. The journey was uneventful.

Shangguanli, Dongdong, and Chu Nanyi had been waiting here for a long time.

"Boss!" Before the boat could stop, Dongdong hurriedly took Su Mo's hand and helped him out of the boat.

Shangguan Li glanced at the empty cabin, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you the only one coming back? I thought if there was such a big commotion, many people would be scared to come back with you."

Su Mo shrugged: "They are very confident and feel that they are buried talents who can make a name for themselves in the Borderlands. Then just let them be and respect the fate of others."

Chu Nanyi shook his head and said: "Sometimes I really don't understand these people. I talked to a few people on my ship. In fact, their living conditions are not bad. They are not desperate at all. They can still do well even if they are in a pinch. To get by.”

"But they are just like crazy people. They are obsessed with getting rich and becoming a master. They abandon their wives and children one by one to pursue their dreams in the land of no one. What are you talking about?"

Shangguan Li said calmly: "There are people like this in the world who believe that they are different, but do not have the strength to match them."

"Especially in this era of advanced information, the Internet is full of beautiful women showing off their wealth. They see too many things that should not belong to them, and they are even less able to accept an ordinary fate."

"The so-called pursuit of dreams is just a facade, and the greed behind the ordinary is the original sin."

"Ordinary." Chu Nanyi muttered these two words and shook his head, "I don't understand."

Su Mo thought to himself: Of course you, a rich second generation, don’t understand.

The few people did not stay on the coast for long, so as not to attract the attention of local giants, they secretly returned to the Black Rose Hotel.

Yuzi was detained and frightened for several days, and her physical and mental condition was not good.

Su Mo lost trust in the St. Rivland authorities and simply helped others to the end. He chartered a plane to take the father and daughter back to Crescent City while Yuzi went to a local hospital to recuperate.

When the two set off, Su Mo hadn't come back yet, so Chen Hao only had time to leave a hasty letter filled with words of thanks.

Su Mo read the letter in the room and stretched out: "The commission is completed, the bill is settled."

After he took a shower, he had a good sleep on the soft big bed.

When Su Mo got up the next day, he brushed his teeth and watched TV.

The midday news was broadcasting a special program at the entrance of the St. Rivland Sheriff's Station, where an impromptu question and answer session was held.

The scene was a bit chaotic, with many protesters gathered and shouting angrily outside the cordon:

“We demand an explanation from the Sheriff’s Department for what was revealed online!”

"Songsangla steps down! Why should a moron who colludes with armed forces outside the Great Wall be the director of the Public Security Bureau?!"

"A nest of snakes and rats, colluding inside and outside, it's really yours!"

"If you do this, who will dare to travel to St. Rivland in the future? Stand down! Protect the external image of St. Rivland!"

In the inner court, a reporter took a microphone and asked loudly: "Director Songsang La, a report appeared online last night, accusing you of having an interest-conveying relationship with armed forces outside the Great Wall, and using your authority to provide shelter for their illegal actions within the country. Do you have any objections to this?" What’s the explanation?”

Songsangla stood on the stage with beads of sweat on his forehead, but he still acted solemnly.

He righteously scolded: "This is a baseless accusation! I have been fulfilling my duties since I took office and have never done anything illegal!"

"I hereby appeal to the general public and netizens not to spread false news, otherwise they will be punished by law once verified!"

The reporter continued to ask: "But there is a very detailed document in the revelations, which contains the financial accounts of companies under your family members' names and the armed forces outside the Great Wall. How to explain this?"

Songsang La still said with a straight face: "This is an organized and premeditated public opinion war, intended to discredit the image of the St. Rivland authorities! All responsibility lies with Borderlands!"

"Our bureau has officially filed a case and begun to trace the mastermind behind this incident. We will definitely give the public a satisfactory answer by then."

Before he finished speaking, two men in black strode onto the stage.

The leader of the men in black said: "Songsangla, come with us."

Songsangla was stunned: "Who are you?"

The man in black took out his ID: "We are the commissioners of the special investigation team appointed by the capital court. Regarding the accusations that appeared online yesterday, please cooperate with us in the investigation."

He didn't even give Songsangla a chance to speak and took the person away directly.

In the end, all that was left to the public was Songsang La's frightened eyes that could not be hidden no matter how hard they tried.

The investigation team commissioner delivered justice from the sky, and the scene suddenly fell into a state of agitation.

The protesters erupted in cheers and praised the court.

The reporters were like sharks that smelled blood. They rushed forward. You asked me a question and I almost put the microphone in the mouths of Songsang La and the investigation commissioner.

In front of the TV, Su Mo smiled slightly.

He entrusted Laobang to arrange for hackers to post the information online.

Laobang's group has long been dissatisfied with Songsang La. This guy colluded with armed forces outside the Great Wall to suppress local violent groups and took away a lot of cakes.

When Laobang heard that Su Mo had something that could kill Songsang La, he not only refused to accept the money, but also paid back the intelligence fee he had collected before, buying out the information he obtained from Wachai.

Now that the revelations have been posted online, what follows is the business of the major forces in St. Rivland and has nothing to do with Su Mo, a foreign tourist.

After brushing his teeth, he walked to the balcony and looked at the vast sea, enjoying the comfort of the sea breeze.

“Go on vacation!”

He put on his swimming trunks and went to the beach.

In this raid on the Wachai base, only Dongdong and Chu Nanyi participated in the attack, and no one else even knew about it.

KK was leaning on the beach chair, holding a coconut in his left hand, a Coke in his right hand, and half a cut watermelon on his belly, as happy as a god.

When he saw Su Mo coming, he took off his sunglasses and asked, "Brother, where have you and Dongdong been these two days? I haven't seen you."

Su Mo said casually: "It's nothing. I have something to deal with temporarily and it's already done."

"That's it." KK didn't think about it, just rubbed his arms and said with lingering fear, "I saw the news yesterday, and it scared me."

Su Mo: "What news?"

KK: "Someone broke the news that Saint-Rifland is a very dark place. The chief of security colluded with the armed forces outside the Great Wall. Many people disappeared in a year. It is said that they were all taken away."

Su Mo pretended to be stupid: "Is this happening? I don't know."

KK: "Yes, I heard that the armed forces outside the Great Wall are very ferocious. Killing people is like drinking water. I was so scared that I had nightmares last night. I hope we can have a safe vacation this time and never run into those bad guys."

Su Mo: "Yeah, you're right."

In the next few days, Su Mo devoted himself to vacation.

Putting aside the dark sides that ordinary people cannot see, St. Rivland is indeed a fantastic tourist city with beautiful landscapes and colorful humanities.

Su Mo got up during the day and went to the beach to swim. When he was tired, he took a nap on the beach chair and watched the waves crashing on the golden beach. The endless islands dotted the skyline in the distance.

After lunch, we drove a rental car to explore the city. St. Rifland has various architectural styles, including seaside fishing villages full of ancient style, and high-rise buildings full of technology.

He strolls through the streets and alleys, overlooks the city scenery from a high place, goes to the commercial street to enjoy seafood delicacies, and also goes to museums to visit various cultural relics. Sometimes he can't help but smile knowingly when he sees objects that have appeared in the game.

In the evening, he likes to drive along the coastline and watch the sunset shine on the sea, reflecting the intoxicating orange-red color. He will stop at a cape to admire the sunset and wait for the stars to appear in the night.

If he has nothing to do in the evening, he will go to the bar to have a drink. Sometimes he will meet his companions in the group, and everyone will say hello and form a table, drinking and talking and enjoying the free night.

In the past few days, Su Mo had almost forgotten that he was a time traveler, and that this was a world that only existed in the game, and his heart was filled with peace.

However, the happy time is always short-lived.

Time quickly came to the last day of vacation.

Before leaving, Sumer checked and found out that this day was the Fireworks Festival in St. Rivland, and there would be a grand fireworks ceremony on the beach in the evening.

It’s perfect to end the journey with fireworks that are raining down from the sky.

In the evening, before the ceremony officially started, the beach was crowded with enthusiastic people. They wore cool swimsuits or yukata and walked between the stalls with bright smiles.

The stalls are filled with all kinds of souvenirs and delicacies. Children stick to their parents, clamoring for popcorn and marshmallows. Couples buy commemorative jewelry and give each other gifts, looking into each other's eyes. It is full of tender love.

There are also many street performers here, some holding guitars and playing cheerful melodies, while others are performing jaw-dropping magic tricks, attracting bursts of applause.

Dongdong and KK were already familiar with each other, and they were both of the same age and grew up nearby. They couldn't run out of common topics to talk about, and they were almost inseparable these days.

Dongdong squatted in front of a stall, playing a game of fishing.

The fishing net in this game is very small and thin. If you fish too fast, the net will be squeezed by the current. If you fish too slowly, the fish will struggle to break the net. It is a test of the skill of people's hands.

Dongdong couldn't do fine work, so he just fished out. He spent more than a hundred monthly coins and broke dozens of nets, but he couldn't catch a single fish.

She was so angry that she slapped her legs and complained: "This is too difficult! Can anyone really catch it?"

The boss made more than a hundred dollars in vain and smiled from ear to ear: "Little girl, you are too impatient. Be patient. Try again and take your time."

KK saw the boss's little thoughts and handed the octopus balls to Dongdong: "Hold it for me, I'll do it."

Dongdong gave way and snorted: "Come on, I'll give you a punch if I can't catch you."

KK asked back: "What do you mean when you catch it?"

Dongdong: "I'll give you a punch too."

KK was shocked: "I'm going to get beaten no matter what, so what's wrong with me?!"

Dongdong laughed and said: "Punch gently when you catch it, fast, fast, fast!"

KK paid for a fishing net and squatted on the ground.

The boss said casually: "Kids, you can buy a few more nets to practice your skills. You will definitely not be able to catch one. This will test your skills."

KK smiled evilly, held the fishing net and reached into the fish pond, and picked up a small fish with a bang.

His hands were steady without any trembling. The process of fishing up was neither fast nor slow. He perfectly grasped the strength balance of the fishing net and fished the small fish into the water bag.

After fishing for one fish, he continued to fish for the second, third, and fourth fish.

"Uh, uh, uh, uh"

KK turned into a fish-fishing machine without emotion, using only a net to fish constantly.

The boss sat there blankly, his mouth opening wider and wider, and nearby tourists came to watch and whistled to cheer him up.

In the end, KK caught 17 fish in one go before the net couldn't hold up and broke. The water bag in Dongdong's hand was already full of small fish swimming.

Dongdong jumped up and down in surprise: "Wow, that's amazing! KK, my God!"

KK proudly took the octopus balls and continued to eat: "What a big deal~ How can I, master K, be defeated by this handicraft?"

"Here comes the reward! Punch me!" Dongdong lightly touched KK's stomach with his small fist.

"Hahaha! Itchy!"

The two shared the small meatballs while continuing to browse the stalls side by side.

While walking around, a tall figure came to Dongdong.

Chu Nanyi knelt down on one knee, with an intoxicated look on her face: "Sister Dong, today is the Fireworks Festival in St. Rivland. According to local tradition, no matter whether you are in love openly or secretly, you must make a chocolate with your own hands and give it to Someone you like."

Dongdong let out a salty lament and said feebly: "Brother, I'm tired of kicking you. You haven't given up yet?"

Chu Nanyi pretended not to hear and presented Dongdong with an exquisite gift box. She looked as affectionate as Prince Charming: "This is the chocolate I made for you, ah! My princess! Please accept my sincere love!"

Dongdong raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly: "Is this chocolate just for me, or do all the beauties in your harem have it?"

Chu Nanyi vowed: "It must be yours alone!"

KK snitched in Dongdong's ear: "Bah, I saw him giving chocolates to several girls in the afternoon, and everyone said it was the only one."

"Le, I knew it." After Dongdong finished speaking, he kicked Chu Nanyi between the legs.

Chu Nanyi fell to the ground and let out a rooster cry, causing all the men passing by to tighten their legs.

Dongdong opened the gift box and stuffed the chocolate into Chu Nanyi's mouth: "It's such a good chocolate, it would be a pity to throw it away, just eat it yourself."

Chu Nanyi was chewing chocolate, moved to tears, and shouted to passers-by: "Look, everyone, Sister Dong is feeding me chocolate! She has me in her heart!"

KK gloated and said, "Young Master Chu is getting sick again."

Dongdong was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and squatted next to Chu Nanyi and poked his waist: "Hey, Xiao Chu, is what you just said true? Today is a holiday tradition. I have to make chocolates with my own hands to give to my favorite ones. people?"

Chu Nanyi was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, Dongdong, do you want to give me some chocolate? Oh, I'll go, I will definitely keep it as a family heirloom!"

"Go and dream." Dongdong picked up another piece of chocolate and blocked Chu Nanyi's mouth.

She stood up and said to KK: "Go and play by yourself first, I have something else to do."

After saying that, she jumped away with a little expectant smile on her face.
