Looking at the Light Blue Panel that had appeared in the center of his vision, Su Mo gently shook his head. There was not the slightest trace of his former urgency or excitement in his eyes.
After reuniting with his family, his bond level had risen to 50%.
After consoling the elders of his territory, his bond level had risen to 80%, leaving only one step before the upgrade.
But afterward, Su Mo had not hurried to push the bond level to 90% and activate the system upgrade. Instead, he had made a move no one could have expected:
