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

Outside the Trial Tower, the massive teleportation beam slowly dissipated.

Lin Mo's figure appeared in the center of the square.

He still looked listless, and even covered his mouth to yawn.

"He's out! Young Master Lin is out!"

"Is this the tough guy who cleared the 30th floor? Why does he look... like he just woke up?"

"What do you know! This is called the relaxation of a strong person! Didn't you see those candidates who came out before? They were all in a sorry state..."

"I suspect you're talking about Young Master Zhao."

"Shh...!"

Many girls in the crowd had their eyes sparkling.

"Waaaaah... He's so handsome, I can't even close my legs properly..."

"I want to be that BOSS, I also want to be pinned to the ground and brutally attacked by Young Master Lin..."

"Young Master Lin is rich, handsome, and powerful—he's so appealing! I want to have his babies, no, a whole litter!"

"Come on, with your small frame, if Young Master Lin goes all out, how many seconds can you withstand it? You'll probably be begging for mercy on your knees after one shot."

"Hmph, I'd be willing too! To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, would be romantic!"

Amidst increasingly perverse and explicit discussions, Zhao Yu stood in the shadows of the crowd, his eyes cold and sinister.

He stared intently at the much-discussed Lin Mo.

Hearing the praise and admiration that should have belonged to him all rushing towards that hateful Lin Mo.

Jealousy kept growing in my heart.

At this moment, the henchmen who usually surrounded Zhao Yu and fawned over him had all disappeared.

"Quiet!"

"What kind of behavior is this! Do you think this is a market?!"

Just then, a majestic voice boomed out of the commotion.

On the high platform, the chief examiner Zhang Tiejun stood with his hands behind his back, scanning the entire audience.

He coldly looked down at the tens of thousands of examinees:

"Look at the state of you all! I'm very disappointed with the overall quality of this year's class!"

"The first five levels of the Trial Tower are all filled with level 5 monsters..."

"Even so, over 60% of people still collapsed within the first five levels! Some even wet their pants from fear of the goblins on the very first level!"

Zhang Tiejun scolded him with exasperation:

"With your mentality, how will you face the monsters of the abyss in the future? How will you protect your home? Do you expect the monsters to let you go just because you cry?"

Many candidates in the crowd lowered their heads in shame.

Zhang Tiejun changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over Lin Mo and the others in the front row, his expression softening slightly:

"Of course, there are also a very small number of people who have shown exceptional talent and combat skills that far exceed those of their peers."

"Especially the candidate who broke the Trial Tower's long-standing record; both their tactical choices and skill application were textbook examples, worthy of everyone's study!"

Although no names were mentioned, everyone knew who was being referred to.

Zhang Tiejun took a deep breath and raised his voice again:

"The first phase of the assessment has officially ended!"

The leaderboard has been updated; please check it out!

"Congratulations to the top 200 candidates, you have qualified for the second stage."

"As for those ranked outside the top 200... I regret to inform you that your exam is over. Leave the examination area immediately and do not linger in the square!"

"Now, everyone take a break! In two hours, the candidates who have advanced will assemble in front of the teleportation array to begin the second phase of the assessment: the Misty Wasteland!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the square instantly transformed into a scene of both joy and sorrow.

Some people cheered with joy, while others were dejected, but this did not affect Lin Mo's mood in the slightest.

He had only one thought in mind: hunger.

Lin Mo walked straight through the crowd towards the commercial areas on both sides of the square.

The facilities here are extremely complete, with two rows of shops lining the streets.

On the left are a dazzling array of equipment shops, skill bookstores, and even shops selling low-level pets, with all sorts of fancy signs hanging at the entrance.

On the right, however, are rows of restaurants.

From roadside stalls to upscale restaurants, everything is available, and the air is filled with enticing aromas.

Lin Mo looked around.

Their eyes quickly settled on a restaurant with the most opulent and glittering decor.

The two dragon-carved pillars standing at the entrance seem to be silently saying, "I'm expensive, poor people stay away."

"This is the place."

Lin Mo stepped inside.

……

Soon, Lin Mo was led by the waiter to a private booth by the window on the second floor.

[Fireball Spell frantically slams the table: I'm starving! I'm starving! I'm going to feast! Bring on the meat! Fire-attribute meat! Vegetables are heretics!]

[Earth Shield Technique also weakly raised its hand: Master... I also want to eat something, I'm so hungry...]

"Shut up, can't you see I'm ordering?"

Lin Mo replied casually in his mind, then picked up the menu and flipped through it.

"How much is this 'Flaming Feathered Chicken'?"

The waiter introduced the product enthusiastically:

"This is our shop's signature dish; the meat is tender and juicy, with a rich 'fire' element in it."

"This dish is sold by the plate. Each plate is cut into 3 slices of pork breast and arranged like a phoenix dancing in the sky, which has a very auspicious meaning. One plate costs 8888 Chinese Yuan."

"Okay, three, whole ones, and this 'Thick Earth Rock Steak,' three servings to start."

Lin Mo waved his hand grandly, displaying great generosity.

"Oh, this..."

The waiter was somewhat stunned.

The "Flaming Feather Chicken" is usually ordered as a plate with three slices of meat. Why did this young man order three chickens right away?

Do you have a mine at home?

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

at this time,

A woman who looked like a supervisor rushed over and pulled the clueless waiter behind her.

"Oh my, isn't this Young Master Lin!"

"Young Master Lin, your presence is an honor! We are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"

The supervisor whispered to the still bewildered waiter:

"This is the young master of Commander Lin Tianhao's family. Forget about eating a chicken; he could buy our entire restaurant with just a word from Young Master Lin!"

"Go, arrange it right away!"

"what……"

Upon hearing this, the waiter turned pale with fright and immediately bowed in apology.

"I'm so sorry, Young Master Lin! I... I was blind to your greatness!"

"Alright, alright, stop with the formalities."

Lin Mo waved his hand, too lazy to argue with them: "Hurry up and make the arrangements, I'm in a hurry and I'm hungry."

"Yes, yes, yes! Arrange it right away! I've asked the kitchen to stop taking other orders and prepare food exclusively for your table!"

The foreman bowed and scraped as he retreated.

……

It must be said that, influenced by Lin Mo's influence, the restaurant's efficiency was indeed remarkable.

Less than twenty minutes later, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Three sizzling, golden-red roasted chickens, along with various other delicacies, instantly filled the table.

"Enjoy your meal, Young Master Lin."

The waiter politely finished speaking and then left.

As soon as the door to the private room closed, Lin Mo grabbed a chicken leg and took a big bite.

"Cool!"

Lin Mo, his mouth greasy, exclaimed, "This is life!"

[The Fireball spell, while frantically absorbing fire elements, let out a satisfied groan: Delicious, so delicious...]

[Earth Shield, drooling: Master, have some Rock Beef! Quickly!]

Just then.

A beautiful figure walked over.

Lin Mo glanced at it and saw that it was Xia Qingyue.

Xia Qingyue looked at the extravagant food on the table, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Young Master Lin, your appetite... is quite good."

"Huh? Isn't this Xia, the campus belle? What's up?"

Lin Mo asked casually.

Xia Qingyue paused, her expression turning serious:

"Young Master Lin, there's something I feel I must tell you now."

"Zhao Yu has contacted many candidates who have entered the second stage of the assessment. They have big plans, and their target is... you."
