I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

"Monster Tide?"

Lin Mo asked curiously.

Seeing his young master's blank expression, Shi Tou quickly explained:

"Young master, the so-called monster tide is actually a special spatial anomaly that has appeared in the wild area."

As he spoke, Stone gestured with his hands to indicate the name:

"This kind of anomaly will attract wild monsters from hundreds of kilometers around, and they will frantically gather towards the center of the anomaly."

"Moreover, the closer they get to the center, the more ferocious they become, with their aggression and attributes increasing dramatically."

At this point, Shi Tou's expression became more serious:

"Most importantly, once the time is up, a wild BOSS will randomly spawn near the center point, so monster tides often represent extreme danger."

Ah Hu then chimed in to add:

"Yes, young master. Once wild monsters enter a ten-kilometer radius, their strength will increase significantly. For the safety of wilderness professionals, we will also impose a military blockade on the surrounding ten-kilometer radius."

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully.

"I see."

Just then.

Ye Hongyu's phone vibrated.

She glanced at the caller ID and quickly pressed the answer button.

"commander!"

"..."

"Yes... I understand! I'll lead the team there right away!"

"Rest assured, Commander, we guarantee the mission will be accomplished!"

After a few short sentences, Ye Hongyu hung up the phone.

She turned around, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said in a deep voice:

"The commander has ordered us to break camp immediately and proceed to the 'Sunset Canyon' blockade zone, taking the young master with us!"

"Oh? You're bringing the young master along?"

Ah Hu and Shi Tou were both stunned for a moment, their faces showing surprise.

Stone said with some concern:

"Captain Ye, that's a monster tide! The monsters are ferocious and densely packed. Although Young Master has [Earth Flow Wall] for protection, it's still a chaotic battlefield..."

"Yeah, Captain Ye, this is getting a bit dangerous..."

Ah Hu was also somewhat hesitant.

Ye Hongyu shook her head.

"With me, with you all, with the special forces here, what danger could we possibly face?"

"Just like last night, give the order to everyone to cripple the monster and then hand it over to the young master to clean up."

"With this density of monsters and this harvesting efficiency... perhaps young master can reach level 15 in one fell swoop today."

Upon hearing this analysis, Ah Hu and Shi Tou exchanged a glance and instantly understood.

"Holy crap! How could I forget about that!"

"That's right! Where else can you find such a good thing? This is practically a leveling paradise specially prepared for the young master!"

The three of them reached a consensus instantly.

After all, in this world, the higher your level, the harder it is to level up.

Lin Mo is currently level 10. Even with someone helping to lure monsters, based on the normal density of monsters in the wild, he can only level up to a little over half of level 12 in a day at most, which is already the limit.

But this monster tide is different.

If you harvest properly, you might actually be able to reach level 15 in one go!

Ye Hongyu looked at Lin Mo and asked:

"Young Master, what are your thoughts?"

Before Lin Mo could even speak, the "Earth Shield" spell on the panel began to tremble.

[The Earth Shield Spell user curled up in a ball, desperately trying to dissuade them: "Monster Tide? Just the name sounds terrifying! Master, it's too dangerous! Let's not go!"]

Before he could finish speaking, another irritable voice rang out.

[Fireball Spell] flew into a rage: Shut up! You spineless coward!

[The "Fireball" spell, its flames leaping wildly, points at the "Earth Shield" icon: "All you do is hide! Don't listen to this bastard, go! You have to go! I'm going to burn that place to my heart's content! I'm going to turn that place into a sea of ​​fire!"]

[Earth Shield Technique weakly retorts: You...you're acting recklessly! Master's safety is the top priority...]

[Fireball: Get lost! The strong will always be strong! What kind of skill is it to be timid and hesitant? I think you just need to be burned!]

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lin Mo felt a headache coming on and quickly told himself to stop. "Stop arguing, everyone. My head is buzzing."

Lin Mo glanced at Ah Hu and Shi Tou, who were fully armed, and then at Ye Hongyu, who remained calm and composed.

This lineup, along with the special forces, also includes their own "Wall of Sighs" and "Artillery".

What danger could there be?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo shrugged, his expression nonchalant.

"I'll listen to Sister Ye."

"good!"

Ye Hongyu was about to turn around and order the assembly.

Lin Mo changed the subject abruptly, adding in a serious tone:

"Bring the bed along with you."

"..."

The air fell silent instantly.

Despite possessing unparalleled talent that countless people admire, he still has to bring his bed along when leveling up...

Should we say that the young master is a genius who is so diligent that he even levels up while sleeping, or should we say that he is a good-for-nothing playboy who only knows how to enjoy life?

Ye Hongyu took a deep breath and calmly said:

"Young Master, don't worry, we can bring not only a bed, but our whole house! Ah Hu, go arrange a car and take the young master's things. Shi Tou, go assemble the troops."

"yes!"

……

……

Two hours later.

A mighty torrent of steel surged into the outer area of ​​Sunset Canyon.

At this moment, the sky above Sunset Canyon was a strange dark red, as if it had been stained with blood.

Large numbers of city defense troops have already set up cordons at various intersections.

Lin Mo's extended luxury car slowly drove into the cordoned-off area.

As soon as I got out of the car, a crisp sound came from afar.

"Young Master Lin?"

Lin Mo turned his head to look.

Not far away, Xia Qingyue was standing there, waving at him.

next moment.

Xia Qingyue jogged over.

"Young Master Lin, are you here for this defense mission?"

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then said:

"Um... sort of. What are you doing here?"

Xia Qingyue smiled wryly:

"We were leveling up in this canyon when we ran into this monster tide warning and were kicked out."

Lin Mo nodded:

"Oh, I see. Then be careful."

He didn't intend for Xia Qingyue to come along and gain experience with him.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Xia Qingyue.

Besides, there are other places suitable for Xia Qingyue to level up, she can just go somewhere else, there's no need to stay here.

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't extend an invitation, Xia Qingyue wasn't disappointed, as this was to be expected.

She thought for a moment, then moved closer to Lin Mo and lowered her voice:

"By the way... Young Master Lin, the Zhao family contacted me last night."

"The Zhao family?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. "Zhao Yu's father, who's a commander? What do they want with you?"

Xia Qingyue nodded and said frankly:

"They're trying to bribe me."

"The Zhao family said that as long as I don't take tomorrow's big exam too seriously and give up my position as the top scorer in the city to Zhao Yu, they are willing to give me three million Chinese Yuan as compensation."

"You agree?"

Lin Mo asked curiously.

Xia Qingyue shook her head, a resolute glint in her eyes:

I refused.

"Why? Do you think the money isn't enough?"

Lin Mo was somewhat surprised.

Xia Qingyue glanced at Lin Mo, then curled her lip in disgust:

"It's not about the money. I just can't stand the arrogant attitude of the Zhao family, especially that Zhao Yu. He's not very capable, but he has a big temper."

At this point, Xia Qingyue took a deep breath, her tone becoming exceptionally serious:

"More importantly, I know very well who the real strongman is."

"Young Master Lin, rather than trying to curry favor with the Zhao family for that little bit of money, I'd rather stand on your side, even if it's just as a gesture."

She is very smart.

She didn't want to get involved in the power struggles among the wealthy families, but if she had to choose a side, having witnessed Lin Mo's strength, she would choose the Lin family without hesitation.

If we accept the Zhao family's money now, and Lin Shao thinks we're greedy and a backstabber, then it would be a huge loss.

The air was still for a few seconds.

"puff--"

Lin Mo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He couldn't resist reaching out and poking Xia Qingyue's forehead:

"No... are you stupid? You're not taking free money? Or do you really think you can get the top score by giving it your all?"

"what?"

Xia Qingyue was stunned by the question.

Lin Mo shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying:

"Has the Zhao family lost their minds? What good would bribing you do? Do they really think you led the team through that Abyss dungeon yesterday?"

"this……"

Xia Qingyue opened her mouth, her face turning bright red.

Although these words are blunt and hurtful, they are perfectly valid.

The reason the Zhao family was willing to spend a lot of money to buy her was purely because she was an A-level genius, and they also assumed that she led the team to clear the Abyss dungeon last night.

"Alright, stop with the 'this' and 'that'."

Lin Mo waved his hand, as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Since they're willing to be taken advantage of, just let them have their way."

"Keep the money. Just take the exam as you see fit. As long as I don't go easy on you, you two will definitely not be the top scorers."

Looking at Lin Mo's calm and collected demeanor, Xia Qingyue's last bit of inner turmoil vanished.

"I understand, Young Master Lin!"

She nodded emphatically, then took out her phone and left.

Watching Xia Qingyue's departing figure, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

That's right.

Don't mess with money, no matter who you're after.

Just then.

An adjutant strode over.

He first saluted Lin Mo, then looked at Ye Hongyu beside him and said in a low voice:

"Team Leader Ye, Commander Zhao's troops have also arrived. Their Captain Zhang said he needs to speak with you."

"Captain Zhang?"

Ye Hongyu frowned slightly. "Zhang Chao?"
