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

"Oh?"

Lin Mo paused slightly, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

[Fireball Spell] flew into a rage: Insolence! Utterly insolence! Who gave them the audacity?!

Even the "Earth Shield Technique," which usually only wants to burrow underground when faced with trouble, was filled with righteous indignation.

[Earth Shield Spell: Damn it, ganging up on the master? Are you treating the master like a boss to farm? Dude, get them!]

[Fireball spell: Flames surge around him! He has to deal with them! A bunch of chickens and dogs, daring to mess with him?!]

Lin Mo slowly pointed to the chair opposite him: "Don't stand, sit down and tell me what happened."

Xia Qingyue glanced at the wreckage scattered across the table, hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a chair and sat down, her expression still grave.

"Young Master Lin, someone from the Zhao family just contacted me."

"Because I listened to you before and took their money, they now treat me like one of their own."

"In the second phase of the Misty Wasteland, in addition to gaining points by killing monsters, you can also directly plunder all of the other examinees' points by defeating them."

"As time goes on, the outer storm circle will continue to shrink, forcing all candidates to gather in the central area."

"The transmission is random, but the communication devices are not blocked."

"Zhao Yu means that once the teleportation lands, he will notify everyone of his coordinates."

"Everyone, gather around him."

"Once they successfully band together, they will begin... a thorough search and ambush of you, Young Master Lin."

After hearing these words,

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully, then picked up a napkin and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.

Tut tut...

Dozens of people huddled together.

They really want to treat themselves like the boss and grind like this.

[Fireball Spell scoffed disdainfully: Heh, so having more people makes a difference? These small fry, I'll burn them all, no matter how many come!]

[The Earth Shield spell chimed in: Exactly! We have Lava Armor and Earth Flow Wall, what are we afraid of!]

Lin Mo calmed the agitated skills and looked at Xia Qingyue:

"So, this is their whole plan?"

"Yes."

Xia Qingyue nodded.

Looking at Lin Mo's calm and composed demeanor, she couldn't help but admire the young master's composure.

"Young Master Lin, you are indeed very strong, but there are still dozens of them. What... do you plan to do? Are you going to avoid their sharp edge?"

"Ha, I should avoid his sharp edge?"

Lin Mo leaned back, a playful glint in his eyes: "Since they want to play, then I'll play along."

He looked at Xia Qingyue, a wicked smile playing on his lips:

"Xia, the campus belle, once Zhao Yu sends the coordinates after we land, forward them to me immediately."

Xia Qingyue was taken aback, but then she understood Lin Mo's intention.

"You mean... you want to take the initiative?"

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded slightly.

Even if dozens of people attack at once, I'm not too afraid.

After all, it's estimated that they can't even break through the defense of the [Lava Armor], even though the [Lava Armor] can only last for 5 minutes.

However, I have many skills, and 5 minutes is enough time for me to wipe out the enemy team.

but……

That would be too much trouble!

As the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king.

If Zhao Yu could be dealt with first, the rest of the rabble would naturally scatter.

Why wait for them to gather together to solve something that can be resolved in one move?

Xia Qingyue looked at Lin Mo, paused, and asked hesitantly:

"Young Master Lin, you trust me that much? What if... I lead you into a trap?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo shrugged, looking completely indifferent.

"A trap? So what? It's just a bit more troublesome."

At this point, Lin Mo looked at Xia Qingyue with a half-smile:

"But you are, the campus belle of Xia University."

"You came all this way to tip me off, aren't you afraid Zhao Yu will retaliate later?"

"After all, the Zhao family still wields considerable influence in Jianghai City."

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingyue clenched her hands slightly on her knees.

After some hesitation, Xia Qingyue seemed to have made a decision, raising her head to look directly at Lin Mo.

"Young Master Lin, I have an A-level talent. In the eyes of ordinary people, I may be a genius, but in the entire Dragon Kingdom, there are countless A-level talents."

"My family has no connections or resources."

"If I don't fight for it, the best I can do after graduation is to join a big guild as a thug, or join the army and start as a common soldier, risking my life for those meager resources."

"I'm not reconciled."

At this point, her tone became incredibly firm:

"Young Master Lin, you have the ability, the background, and most importantly, the magnanimity..."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Mo waved his hand, interrupting Xia Qingyue's long speech.

He knew exactly what was going on.

Xia Qingyue simply wants to find a powerful backer.

But Lin Mo has absolutely no interest in recruiting henchmen now; managing things is too tiring.

Lin Mo picked up the juice next to him, took a sip, and said calmly:

"Don't try to prove your loyalty to me, I don't buy it."

"Since you've helped me, I won't let you work for nothing."

"I'll mention it to my dad after the big exams are over."

"but……"

Lin Mo changed the subject casually:

"I'm only responsible for making the offer. As for how my dad arranges things and what kind of treatment you get, that's his business. I can't be bothered with it and I won't make any promises to you."

Although it was only mentioned briefly, for Xia Qingyue, it was already a ladder to heaven.

Who is Lin Tianhao?

The God of War of Jianghai City!

If you could get into his elite unit, it would be like rising to the top in one step!

What more do you need, a bicycle?

Xia Qingyue's face lit up with joy, and she quickly stood up and bowed:

"I understand, Young Master Lin! I'm just glad I could help you! Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Lin!"

"I definitely won't let you down!"

Lin Mo nodded and pointed to the two chickens remaining on the table: "Hmm, have you eaten? If not, have some? This chicken tastes really good."

Xia Qingyue glanced at the tempting roast chicken and swallowed hard.

"Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Lin, but I'd better not."

"I have to go now, lest someone see me with you and alert Zhao Yu, ruining your important plans."

"Okay, go ahead then, be careful."

Lin Mo didn't insist and waved his hand.

Xia Qingyue turned around and quickly left the private room.

The door to the private room was closed again.

Just then, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated, and the words "Father Emperor" appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Dad?"

"My son!!"

Lin Tianhao's loud voice rang out, startling Lin Mo so much that he instinctively moved his phone further away.

"Hahaha! Well done! You've really made me proud!"

"Thirty floors! A 24-second speedrun! You know what? That old bastard Zhao Lei's face turned as green as a goblin just now! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! It was so satisfying!"

Hearing his father's mesmerizing laughter, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Basic operation, don't be silly."

"You're still such a good actor!"

Lin Tianhao chuckled and cursed, then his tone became more serious:

"By the way, I have something important to tell you."

"The admissions officers for the Dragon Order program are extremely satisfied with your performance; they would even say they are astounded!"

"As long as you don't mess up in the second stage, getting into the Dragon Order Class is practically a done deal! That would be a huge honor for your family!"

"That bag, doesn't it know whose son I am?"

Lin Mo said with a smile.

"You brat..."

Lin Tianhao laughed and cursed.

Lin Mo held his phone, pondering for a moment.

Should I tell my dad about Zhao Yu's plan to gang up on me?

After thinking for a mere 0.5 seconds, Lin Mo dismissed the idea.

What's the point of telling Dad?

It serves no purpose other than causing them unnecessary worry.

and……

To be honest, I didn't really take Zhao Yu's little karaomi seriously.

I can easily handle this small matter myself, why bother my parents?

At this moment, Su Wan's voice came over:

"Old Lin, move aside, let me say a few words to my son!"

"Feed? Mo'er?"

Su Wan's voice instantly became as gentle as water:

"You must be exhausted from just now, right? If the second phase is too tiring, let's find somewhere to hide. Anyway, our performance in the first phase was already good enough..."

"Mom, I'm eating right now at the restaurant by the square. It's really good."

"That's good, that's good. Eat more, don't neglect yourself..."

After exchanging a few more sweet words with his mother, Lin Mo finally hung up the phone.

By this time, most of the food on the table had been eaten.

Lin Mo let out a burp, stood up, and strolled slowly back to the square. The second phase was about to begin.
