Starting with 10,000 times the experience, and you're calling me a terrible player?

With trembling hands, Chu Tiankuo pulled out two identical glass bottles from the inner pocket of his tactical belt.

"There are... there are only these two bottles left."

Chu Tiankuo pushed the bottle in front of Lin Mo.

Lin Mo picked up the bottle, pulled out the cork, and smelled it.

Yes, yes, that's the taste.

"good."

Lin Mo put the bottle in his pocket.

"I'm very satisfied with your service today, so I won't bother you anymore."

"However... this will not be repeated."

After saying that, he stood up, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

Chu Tiankuo shouted out as if possessed.

Lin Mo stopped and looked back at him.

"This stuff... is extremely effective."

Chu Tiankuo swallowed hard.

"One bottle can cover an area of ​​ten kilometers. If you use it carelessly, you'll die."

He was afraid that Lin Mo might accidentally kill himself, and in the end, the matter would definitely be traced back to them.

"You're overthinking it. Even if you all die, I won't die."

Lin Mo waved his hand casually.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned to look at Chu Tiankuo, and then gave a meaningful look to the priestess who was cowering in fear.

"By the way, don't follow me tomorrow, or your life might be in danger."

After saying that, Lin Mo lifted the curtain and left the hall.

He let the four people go, not because of the strange incense; the strange incense was merely an unexpected bonus.

The reason is... the priest in their group was actually an old friend of his and Su Xiaoli's.

That person had once been kind to him and Xiao Li.

However, after so many years, she didn't seem to recognize herself.

in the corner.

The four people seemed to have all their strength drained away, and they didn't move an inch for a long time.

The monkey slowly got up from the ground, its whole body soaked.

"Brother Chu..."

The monkey's jaw was chattering.

"Does he want to trigger an even larger beast tide?"

Chu Tiankuo slumped into a chair, staring blankly at the water stains on the table.

"What such a person wants to do is beyond our comprehension."

Chu Tiankuo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Alright, all of you, shut your mouths."

"This is beyond our control. We should report the situation here to the conglomerate directly."

"The appearance of a monster of this caliber here might lessen the punishment we receive."

Hearing this, the other three finally felt a sense of relief.

at the same time.

Qin Lan stood with her arms crossed next to the railing in a corner on the second floor.

She heard every word of the conversation in the hall.

A fifth-level expert's perception ability is so precise that it can detect even the smallest details within a kilometer.

She originally thought that Lin Mo would take advantage of Su Xiaoli's influence to severely punish the freshmen who had plotted against him.

In the end, he only took two bottles of the "strange incense".

"This kid... he's not really planning to trigger a massive beast horde to grind his parry-breaking skill proficiency, is he?"

Qin Lan frowned.

Through two days of secret observation, she was almost certain that Lin Mo possessed some kind of extreme and highly efficient damage immunity mechanism.

But what mechanism in this world is absolutely invincible?

Level 20 monsters can't break through my defense, and level 30 wild boars can't break through my defense either.

What if it's a first-tier boss monster?

What if it's a high-level monster of level 40?

In the world of professionals, there is no such thing as an absolutely invincible effect.

If the limits are exceeded, the rules will inevitably backfire.

"We still need to keep an eye on him, lest he play with fire and get burned."

Qin Lan stared at the direction where Lin Mo disappeared, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"He might be immune to normal damage, but that might not be the case when encountering monsters that deal true damage."

"Moreover, this kid likes to use Berserk to reduce his health to almost nothing. If he encounters a monster whose true damage exceeds the block effect, he will be instantly killed."

"They're still too young."

Turning her gaze away, Qin Lan glanced at Chu Tiankuo and the other three downstairs, but did not stop them from reporting to their superiors.

The Ling family conglomerate, based in Weiguang City?

It's just a small branch.

She, a special envoy of the Alliance, was not taken seriously at all.

On the contrary, she was more interested in seeing how many tricks this local bully could force Lin Mo to reveal.

……

The top floor of the Ling Group branch building in the center of Weiguang City.

The holographic projection device emitted a low buzzing sound.

Behind the dark black desk, Ling Feng sat with his legs crossed, a large handmade cigar between his fingers.

As the highest-ranking person in charge of the Ling Group in Weiguang City, his status as the fourth heir made him accustomed to looking down on everything.

In mid-air, a pale blue light curtain suddenly unfolded.

In the video, the disheveled faces of Chu Tiankuo and his three teammates stood out starkly.

"So, not only did you botch the ranking mission and lose two bottles of high-level monster-attracting incense, but now you're hiding in a safe house like a bunch of stray dogs, crying and begging me for help?"

Ling Feng exhaled a thick cloud of smoke, which blurred his cold and stern features.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

In the video, Chu Tiankuo's Adam's apple bobbed violently as he suddenly leaned close to the camera, his eyes bloodshot with terror.

"Young Master Ling! Please let me explain! That wasn't a mission failure; it was an encounter with a monster beyond the realm of reason!"

Chu Tiankuo spoke very quickly, as if afraid that the other party would cut off the communication and sentence them to death at any moment.

"I saw it with my own eyes! Hundreds of monsters! Level three or four wasteland wolves, level ten or so berserk giant lizards, their dense attacks completely buried him!"

"But he didn't even lose a drop of blood! Zeros were floating above his head! The wolf teeth that bit him all broke, and the giant lizard's skull shattered on the spot! They were all killed by the recoil!"

"Young Master Ling, he's laughing! He was sitting on the rock laughing when those monsters bit him!"

Chu Tiankuo's breathing was like a broken bellows, and his mental state was on the verge of collapse.

"That's right! The three of us can testify for Brother Chu! We saw it all!"

The three teammates next to him nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with fear of the scene.

There was a two-second silence in the conference room.

"Pfft."

Ling Feng couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

He casually flicked the ash from his cigar, his gaze fixed on the screen as if he were looking at a few clowns with underdeveloped intelligence.

"Chu Tiankuo, do you all think I, Ling Feng, am a brainless idiot?"

Ling Feng abruptly stopped smiling, leaned forward, and stared at the holographic screen with eyes like knives.

"A newly awakened, unskilled warrior, taking the brunt of hundreds of monsters' bites with his bare hands? And not even losing health?"

"Do you think this is a web novel? A god reincarnated and descending to earth to experience life?!"

"Young Master Ling! I swear on my life that every word I've said is true! Monkey and the others were all there; you can check them all!"

Chu Tiankuo was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh.

He knew how outrageous his words sounded, but he knew even more how strange Lin Mo was!

"Shut up."

Ling Feng coldly uttered two words, directly interrupting Chu Tiankuo's explanation.

He leaned back in his leather chair, rapidly processing and analyzing the information in his mind.

"Use your poor brain, Chu Tiankuo."

"A newly awakened commoner's attributes are at most twenty or thirty points. Even if his talent is damage reduction, it can only reduce damage by ten or eight points at most."

"You see him not losing health, and you see monsters being killed by counterattacks, so you think he's a monster?"

Ling Feng sneered, his tone extremely certain.

"The answer is simple: he is carrying a high-level absolute defense item, such as a talisman like the Sigh of the Earth Mother."

Chu Tiankuo, inside the light screen, was stunned.

Props?

Has Young Master Ling lost his mind from being pampered for too long?

High-level items can only be worn by high-level players; they will have no effect on low-level players.

Equipment has level requirements.

Ling Feng didn't explain much, as Chu Tiankuo's level was not yet capable of understanding such things.

Just then, the adjutant hurriedly pushed open the door and entered.

He didn't even bother to look at the person in the holographic projection, and went straight to Ling Feng's desk.

"Young Master, the top-secret intelligence regarding Awakening Plaza has been blocked by the Alliance..."

The adjutant placed the black and gold box heavily on the table and took a deep breath.

"Got it."
