Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 723 The prize pool is still accumulating.
The trip to Harbin has come to a successful end, and everyone is very satisfied. At this moment, in the taxi heading to the airport, Miss Yuan is sitting in the passenger seat, while Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan are sitting in the back seat.

Lin Mo stared blankly at the OK gesture that Lao Zhao had replied to in the group chat on his phone for a long time. He felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. The reason was simple: since the internship, Lao Zhao had been contacting them much less frequently.

Actually, it was fine at first. Although everyone went to different places, they still chatted in the group at the beginning.

After starting work, although everyone has their own jobs and the frequency of chatting has decreased, we still occasionally make voice calls or video calls.

The last time they had a video or voice call was back in June. Since then, Lao Zhao has rarely spoken in the group, but he would occasionally reply with a few words. Now, he almost never sends messages on his own initiative, and even his Moments haven't been updated for several months.

If this guy weren't still able to reply to messages, he would have thought he'd been tricked into going to northern Myanmar to commit fraud.

Nevertheless, he felt something was wrong. Was this the price of growing up and entering society?

Liu Ruyan noticed his absent-mindedness and turned to ask, "What's wrong? You look preoccupied!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath and expressed his feelings.

"I'm not being dramatic, it's just that something feels off," Lin Mo said, his brows furrowing slightly.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan grasped his hand and squeezed it, then whispered, "You can't force a friend to always revolve around you. Everyone has their own life and their own center."

You must learn to accept the departure of all friends, their abrupt departures, and even their permanent disappearance from your life.

Maybe he's just busy with work? After all, people have limited energy, especially since he has a girlfriend. The pressure of work and maintaining the relationship both require energy.

"Isn't it good to know he's safe?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo nodded. Indeed, why think so much? It's enough to know he's safe and sound. Anyway, there will be a day when we meet again.

As Liu Ruyan said, people's energy is limited. The reason why these people seem so idle is because they are not short of money and do not have to worry about making a living.

Even the class monitor, Director Wang, and He Xiaoyue were able to enjoy a comfortable living environment thanks to Miss Yuan and Chuanmei.

After all, he's a college student who hasn't graduated yet. His basic monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, plus social insurance and housing fund. Not only does Miss Yuan give out red envelopes from time to time, but now even Wangcai's account can be cashed out.

Lin Mo knew that Wangcai's account had already generated revenue last month alone, and the income of the class monitor and others had increased significantly, even exceeding 10,000 yuan.

While their classmates were still struggling to earn an average monthly salary of two or three thousand yuan, they were already far ahead.

Old Zhao is probably working hard too. After all, he can ask his parents for living expenses while he's in school, but once he starts working, he has to rely on himself. Besides, Old Zhao has a girlfriend, which makes the pressure even greater.

“That’s true. Let Chuanzi do his best. If he doesn’t perform well when he comes back next year, we can stay in Jiangning together!” Lin Mo said with a smile.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyan smiled and didn't say anything more. She was glad that her little man had recovered. As for others, that was none of her business, and she couldn't care less about them.

At noon, the group arrived at the airport to wait for boarding. The airport was packed with people, all tourists.

The group passed through the ticket gate smoothly and lined up to board the plane.

Just then, a woman behind Lin Mo muttered with some annoyance, "Oh dear, I always buy accident insurance when I fly, how could I forget this time? It should be fine if I don't buy it this time, right?"

Lin Mo was stunned by what he heard, and his heart skipped a beat. It felt like they were popping champagne halfway through the party!
Although he felt a little awkward, he didn't pay it any mind, and soon the group boarded the plane smoothly.

Inside the business class, everyone took their seats, and the plane slowly started moving, gradually accelerating until it took off. As the scenery outside the window grew smaller and smaller, Lin Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The next second, the airplane's intercom came on.

【Dear passengers, I am the captain of this flight. I have been flying safely for 30 years, and this will be my last flight before retirement. I wish you all a pleasant journey!】

Lin Mo:
"What's wrong?" Liu Ruyan asked when she saw him frowning.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo sighed, "It's nothing, it's probably just a coincidence!"

"What coincidence?" Liu Ruyan asked. Lin Mo: "Usually, when someone says something like that in a movie, there's a high chance something bad will happen later. It's bad luck! Ptooey, ptooey! You spit twice too!"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this: "Get lost, don't talk nonsense, superstition. Airplanes are the safest mode of transportation, okay! You just don't fly enough and watch too many movies. Go take a nap, you'll be home when you wake up!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two men in the seats in front of them started talking.

"Bro, when are you and your girlfriend getting married? My girlfriend and I have been in a long-distance relationship for five years, but we've finally tied the knot! We're getting married as soon as we get back!"

"Me? I don't know. My girlfriend said her parents have already given their approval and said they'll discuss the wedding when we go back this time!"

Liu Ruyan:
Lin Mo:
The prize pool is still increasing; the buff is almost full!

Liu Ruyan was speechless at this point, but she didn't care. She was a staunch materialist.

Besides, she's flown so many times over the years, she certainly wouldn't worry about anything because of those two sentences.

However, Lin Mo's face had already started to turn pale at this moment. What the hell was the difference between this and Final Destination?
At this point, he had no choice but to take the plane, since it had already taken off. Unless he shouted that there was a bomb on the plane and voluntarily let the staff control him so that the plane could turn around, it would be almost a waste of time.

But if he does that, he might end up in jail. The most important thing is that the plane is working perfectly fine right now. He can't just jump off the plane because of those two sentences about opening champagne at the halfway point, can he?
After all, he didn't witness the plane crash like the protagonist in Final Destination.

"Are you alright, little brother? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Ruyan asked.

Lin Mo: "No, it's nothing!"

"Don't overthink it, nothing will happen. You're just scaring yourself!" Liu Ruyan said.

Lin Mo: "Let's hope so!"

He could clearly feel his heart beating faster, and then he began to think back on the skills and items he possessed, to see if he had any self-rescue measures if the worst-case scenario really occurred.

At this moment, he desperately wanted a talisman or something similar, preferably one without any negative effects. The safety charm from last time didn't count; that thing could bring him great luck.

After much thought, he actually came up with an idea, [and the machine spirit was overjoyed].

Airplanes are a type of machine, right? If we can worship cars, then there's no reason why we can't worship airplanes!
With a solution in hand, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, no concept-level skill was weak.

He needs to think of a way to kneel down and kowtow to the plane, otherwise he really won't feel at ease.

But if he suddenly kneels down now, he will definitely be regarded as a lunatic. After all, if he could, he would rather die than be killed by society.

Fortunately, the plane didn't have any immediate problems, so he still had time.

After a while, the flight attendants brought blankets for everyone.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but say, "Take a nap!"

Lin Mo shook his head upon hearing this. What was there to do? He was more nervous than anyone else. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and waved to the flight attendant.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?" the flight attendant asked with a professional smile.

Lin Mo nodded: "Excuse me, where is the restroom?"

"This way, sir, please come with me!"

Upon entering the bathroom, Lin Mo closed the door behind him. Although the space was rather cramped, it was sufficient.

Just as he was about to kneel down, the plane suddenly lurched violently.

"Damn it, opening champagne at halftime is just awful!" Lin Mo spat out, his eyes wide.
