I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 681 Director Ni gave the star map

"Go over and say hello." Su Mo gestured for Song Yi to go outside and wait, then led Director Luo toward the leaders.

Su Mo didn't know or understand the extraterrestrial development office, and had never contacted them before. Su Mo could ignore them, but he still gave face to the leaders of the association and the space force. It was impossible for them to come to him and leave without saying a word.

The two walked over from the direction of the array plate, passing by the ten selected accompanying personnel first. Director Luo said casually, "These are the accompanying personnel selected this time. I have sent their information to your communications. The squad leader is Zhang Yide, the current major of the Space Force."

Su Mo nodded; she had recognized him just now.

Zhang Yide, who was briefly a classmate of Yan Shu at Beijing Yucai High School, is now Yan Shu's brother-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the young master of the Zhang family, who was troubled by his inability to awaken during the college entrance examination, is now full of energy and has a good physique. He has risen to the rank of major in the army and has now joined the space force.

The ten people stood ramrod straight, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Su Mo merely glanced at it before continuing forward.

Director Luo turned to Su Mo and introduced, "Principal, the man in front is Colonel Yang Su, the political commissar of the First Action Regiment of the Space Force."

The middle-aged man standing at the front of the group of three.

"You know Huang Zhiguo, the head of the association, Principal."

"The woman on the left is Comrade Ni Xue, the deputy director of the official extraterrestrial development office."

A young-looking woman dressed in a business suit with a formal demeanor, wearing frameless glasses.

In this era, the reason for wearing glasses is no longer nearsightedness. Ni Xue's glasses are more likely to be some kind of office item, just like Yan Jin's glasses, which can be described as a portable detection instrument.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Su Mo greeted each of the people opposite him.

After Director Luo explained the other party's identity to Su Mo, he said to the other party, "Distinguished leaders, this is our principal, Su Mo."

Even if he doesn't say it, people already know.

Huang Zhiguo was the first to speak, and he said with a smile, "I've known Principal Su for a long time, but it's been more than ten years since we last met."

"Principal Su's abilities have improved rapidly. While cultivating talents for the country, he is also at the forefront of resisting invasion. He is a role model for us to learn from."

Before the secret realm was revealed to the public, the mysterious text message that revealed that a secret passage would be opened at Licheng No. 2 Middle School was later known to many in the association to have been sent by Su Mo.

Huang Zhiguo was an old-timer in the action department who had interacted with Su Mo when she became an unofficial member of the association.

"Captain Huang, how have you been? The pest control operation is a common task for all humans on Earth, and I just did what I was supposed to do," Su Mo said modestly.

"By the way, is Yang Jun still working for you?" Su Mo asked casually.

"He's long gone. He was transferred to lead a team outside a few years ago." Huang Zhiguo was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Su Mo to ask about this, but he answered quickly without going into details.

Su Mo nodded. The reason she asked about this person was because most of the people she had interacted with in her previous life were dead, and she wanted to know if Yang Jun was still alive.

I always thought Yang Jun was lucky. In his previous life, there was no insect plague, but he was seriously injured in the secret realm and still managed to run into me and be saved. In this life, he encountered an insect plague but did not die. It seems he even got promoted.

"The president organized this trip so that we could both gain some experience. We'll have to trouble Principal Su to look after us on this trip," Huang Zhiguo said, bringing the conversation back on track.

The two parties refer to the Association and the Space Force, who will also be the first official representatives of Xia Kingdom to make contact with extraterrestrials.

"No problem," Su Mo smiled.

There's not much to take care of. If the journey goes smoothly, the shuttle won't stop once it starts moving until it returns to Earth; it'll just go out for a short loop. The few people accompanying it will stay inside the shuttle, so there's no danger.

It's common knowledge that Su Mo is closer to the people in the association.

Yang Su and Ni Xue, whose positions were both higher than Huang Zhiguo's, did not feel embarrassed.

Seeing that the two had already exchanged pleasantries, Yang Su then spoke up, "Principal Su, although our Space Force soldiers are not yet familiar with the outside world, if there is any need to use them on this trip, Principal Su, please don't hesitate to arrange tasks directly."

"You are their supreme commander on this trip."

Political Commissar Yang Su always had a smile on her face, whether she was speaking or not, and she gave people a very kind and approachable feeling.

But Su Mo didn't take those words seriously.

"I will, if needed."

Yang Su nodded, seemingly satisfied with Su Mo's decisive attitude.

"In the future, the Space Force will be the main force responsible for patrolling and protecting the outer reaches of Earth. There may be things that need to be troubled by Principal Su."

Su Mo: "..."

She didn't quite understand what the other person meant, but nodding was enough.

"If there's something I absolutely have to cooperate with, I will definitely cooperate."

Huang Zhiguo's smile widened.

Ni Xue, standing next to her, pursed her lips. She noticed that Su Mo's gaze was fixed on the supplies, and it seemed that he had no intention of speaking to her after their brief greeting.

Ni Xue had no choice but to step forward and say, "Principal Su, I wonder if you made any preparations before this trip? I brought the latest version of the star map with me, so I'll send it to you for reference."

Su Mo turned his gaze back to her.

A star map is definitely the best thing to have. Everyone knows how vast the universe is, even just the area around Earth is huge. Having a star map can save you a lot of trouble on the road.

She didn't ask why no one had given her a tool like a star chart before it existed, and she didn't even look at Huang Zhiguo and Yang Su next to her.

Huang Zhiguo was a little embarrassed. As someone who did the work, how would he know what the higher-ups meant? Yang Su was fine. Although the Space Force definitely had star maps, this was the first time the Space Force had contacted Su Mo. No one could complain about the oversight these past two days.

"The latest version of the star map? I really need that." Su Mo's attitude was very straightforward.

Ni Xue nodded.

"Let's add each other as friends, I'll send it to you."

Of course, you can transfer files without adding each other as friends, but this was an opportunity to build a relationship with Su Mo, so Ni Xue took the initiative to suggest it.

Unfortunately, the Extraterrestrial Development Office hadn't contacted Su Mo before. Although their office was a newly established department, they should have communicated with Su Mo immediately, since Su Mo was currently the only one involved in their work.

However, there are some things that even Ni Xue, the deputy director, cannot decide.

It wasn't until Su Mo was about to confirm the chosen celestial body that the director arranged for her to come over.

Su Mo readily exchanged communication links with the other party, and the next moment he received a star map sent by Ni Xue.

It was a star map of the entire solar system, which surprised Su Mo again. She looked at the star map unfolding on her screen and then looked at Ni Xue.
