Zongman: My Smart Group

Yukino Yukinoshita's heart skipped a beat. This was the world's most outstanding biological scientist. Even he found Lin Mo's matter troublesome?

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Dr. Genus, what happened to Lin Mo?"

Dr. Genos put down the report and said, "Strange, according to the examination report, apart from the initial injury, there are no abnormalities on his body, he is even perfectly healthy, and..."

After this investigation, Kinos confirmed that the blood provided by Kikue did indeed belong to Lin Mo. However, strangely, this blood was in an inert state within Lin Mo's body. Once it left Lin Mo's body, it would reveal its terrifying side.

This was an unexpected conclusion he reached when he sent the blood to another laboratory for research.

In other words, there is something within Lin Mo that is inhibiting his growth!

Is it a genetic lock? Or something else entirely?

With worry in her eyes, Yukino quickly asked, "And what?"

Chapter 33 Demonic Power

Genos shook his head and said, "It's nothing. He's in good health and there's nothing seriously wrong. The reason he seemed fine just now was probably because his adrenaline surged and he temporarily ignored the pain. Once everything settled down, he felt the pain again, which is why he started howling. But don't worry, this kind of injury will heal in a few days."

Hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just a recurrence of an old injury. Fortunately, it wasn't the price she paid for using that terrifying ability. Otherwise, she really wouldn't know what to do.

Seeing Lin Mo still whimpering, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flashed with tenderness. She stepped forward, patted his head, and said with a smile, "Little brother Lin Mo, don't cry, don't cry. Let me pat your head! Do you want me to rub it for you?"

Lin Mo's lips twitched slightly. What kind of tone was this, like coaxing a child?

The system also mocked, "Useless host, you can't even handle such a small injury, what a waste!"

Lin Mo: "You're talking without thinking! Try taking a couple of punches yourself! I'm just an ordinary person, whether before or after transmigrating, I'm just a normal ordinary person. People feel pain, and they'll cry out when they're hurt! I'm already awesome enough, okay? I can still stand up after taking two punches. Do you believe that anyone else would immediately make the kobold kneel down and beg him not to die?"

To be fair, if Lin Mo's body hadn't been slowly getting stronger day by day, and hadn't undergone system optimization at the beginning, he probably would have really died here today.

The system certainly understood this principle, but that didn't stop it from mocking Lin Mo. What, after being mocked for so long, it wasn't allowed to mock back?

"Trash is trash, what's there to argue about? Trash host, leave the group!"

Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he was about to get up and start a battle to protect the family tree with the system, but Yukinoshita Haruno pressed him down with both hands.

Yukino Yukinoshita said reproachfully, "Your injuries have just been treated, so you should rest for a while."

Lin Mo slapped away Yukino's hand that was trying to touch his head, and said unhappily, "I told you not to touch my head anymore, or I'll teach you a lesson!"

Yukinoshita Haruno laughed and said, "Alright, alright, I won't touch you anymore."

Lin Mo: "That's more like it!"

And so, the two of them suddenly fell silent.

With a forced smile, Yukino Shino asked, "Lin Mo, may I hold your hand?"

Lin Mo didn't speak, but silently took her hand.

Yukino Yukinoshita could no longer hold back and burst into tears, but she did not hug Lin Mo, fearing that she would lose control of her strength and hurt Lin Mo.

With reddened eyes, Yukino Yukino said, "Lin Mo, I'm so scared. I'm so scared that you'll be subjected to all sorts of cruel experiments, and I can only watch helplessly from the sidelines. I'm scared that my willfulness will lead to the complete destruction of the Yukino family. I'm scared that I'll die and become one of those inhuman monsters. But I can't show it because Lin Mo is still by my side. I have to be strong. If I, as the older sister, am scared, how will we survive?"

Lin Mo: "Don't be afraid, Sister Yang Nai, it's all over."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yes, it's all over now. If it weren't for your incredible power, if it weren't for you threatening Dr. Genus, we would all have suffered inhuman treatment!"

At this point, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but give a wry smile: "Little brother Lin Mo, am I really useless? I came here to protect you, but I didn't expect to be protected by you instead, and even caused you to get so badly injured. Getting hit twice by that monster must have hurt a lot!"

Lin Mo clenched his fist, flexed his well-developed biceps, and said confidently, "No problem! I'm as strong as a rock!"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Yeah! You'll be alright!"

Perhaps my prayers in the office at that time were not entirely in vain; God really did favor us and allowed the two of us to get through this crisis safely!

Yukino Yukino smiled as she looked at Lin Mo. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that it was worth it to have this younger brother. Although he had some mental issues, he could make her happy in every way. Perhaps it was precisely because he was a bit of a fool that she was able to let down her guard and show her truest feelings.

"correct!"

Yukino suddenly said, "Lin Mo, if we remember correctly, Yukino was in the same class as you, right?"

Lin Mo asked in confusion, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Yukinoshita smiled like an aunt: "It's nothing, it's just what you think of Yukino as a person?"

Lin Mo: "..."

………………

Time flew by and more than a week later. Of course, this was for others. For Lin Mo, he had only taken a nap when the Crimson King was activated again.

Lin Mo looked at his room and sighed helplessly. Although everything had settled down and he had more money than an ordinary person could spend in a lifetime, why did he feel a strange sense of emptiness?

Sure enough, compared to having hundreds of millions in assets, I still miss the days when I couldn't even afford to eat. That's when I was truly carefree. Unlike now, I don't know how I'm going to spend all this money!

Seeing Lin Mo's mouth twisting into a wide grin, the system quickly said, "Host, don't think about these things anymore. Money is just money, nothing more than material possessions. The most important thing right now is to strengthen yourself! So, a new day has begun, shall we sign in?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo stopped thinking about it. He felt that if he kept thinking about it, he would start to lose his mind, so he waved his hand and said, "Sign in!"

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Demon Power (Gold)

Demonic Power (Gold): Allows the user to transform into a demon and gain demonic power.

System: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained another skin!"

Lin Mo was initially happy to see the Golden Legend, but after the system's explanation, he became unhappy again. He desperately wished the system could add a dismantling function so he could dismantle the Anti-Magic Domain in no time.

Lin Mo gave it a sharp middle finger: "Useless system, leave the group!"

After completing his daily check-in, Lin Mo went to the mirror to try out his new skin. Compared to the angel skin's purity, the demon skin had a touch more evil, but of course, both were equally handsome.

After admiring his own stunning good looks, Lin Mo grabbed his schoolbag and headed to school.

By the way, when Lin Mo woke up, his house had already been renovated. The system informed him that Yukino Yukinoshita had found someone to help with the renovation. Of course, he paid for it himself, since he wasn't short of money now!

Sitting down in her seat, Lin Mo couldn't help but look at Yukino Yukinoshita. Yukino Yukinoshita had arrived at school early and was sitting in her seat reading a book.

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's serious expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but think back to his conversation with Haruno Yukinoshita last time. Although she didn't say it explicitly, her implication was that she wanted to bring him and Yukino Yukinoshita together.

Lin Mo found this very strange. It was Yukinoshita Haruno who had gone through life-and-death crises with him, Yukinoshita Haruno was his best friend, and Yukinoshita Haruno was the one who saved him from danger.

But why did she end up trying to matchmake herself with Yukino Yukinoshita? Shouldn't she have offered herself to him? How did it turn into her trying to matchmake herself with Yukino Yukinoshita?

Lin Mo couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it. Why think so much? The most important thing in life is to be happy!

Although I have some feelings for Yukino Yukinoshita, it's far from being love; it's just an appreciation of her personality.

Chapter 34 is finished! I've become a pervert!

Although I have called Yukino Yukinoshita my wife before, and not just her, that was only online. Reality and the internet should be kept separate.

Just like online, Lin Mo can openly admit that he is a lolicon, but if he really meets such a person in real life, sorry, he'll be seated on the highway!

The internet is a place to experience a second life. There, you can create an imaginary version of yourself, role-play, and experience a second life! You can speak freely and without restraint, releasing your true nature, since nobody knows anyone else anyway.

But you must distinguish between reality and the internet. Don't be foolish enough to think that just because you're awesome online, you're awesome in real life too. If you call someone "wife" online, you'll call them "wife" in real life too. Otherwise, people will only see you as a clown and a pervert!

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo!"

Interrupted from his thoughts, Lin Mo subconsciously asked, "What's wrong, Yukino, my wife?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "?!!"

Lin Mo: "!!!"

Oh no! I've become a monster!

Yukino Yukinoshita's face instantly turned bright red, steam rising from her skin! She was completely stunned by Lin Mo's sudden remark. She had only reminded him not to stare at her, so why did he suddenly call her "wife" in public?! How incredibly embarrassing!

Yes, while Lin Mo was lost in thought, quite a few people had already arrived in the class. Although Lin Mo's voice wasn't very loud, it wasn't quiet either, and the people around him could easily hear what he was saying, not to mention those who had a crush on Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Old... Wife!"

"That's incredibly bold!"

"Are they already married?"

"Damn it! What is it about me that Lin Mo doesn't do justice to me?!"

"My goddess! I can't live anymore! Waaah~"

Lin Mo was the first to come to his senses and was about to explain when Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stood up, blushing, and shouted, "Pervert!"

Then he turned and ran out.

"How is this going?"

"Not because I'm too shy."

"That's true, after all, she was called 'wife' in public."

Lin Mo listened to their outrageous guesses, his lips twitching slightly. He wished he could travel back in time and slap himself across the face. Why did you have to be so quick to speak? Now look what happened, a misunderstanding!

Lin Mo stood up and said, "Everyone, look at me! I have something to say! Yukino Yukinoshita and I are just ordinary friends. It's not as exaggerated as you all imagine. I just had a brain fart just now. I hope everyone will stop spreading rumors."

"understand!"

We understand!

"Just an ordinary boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

Seeing everyone's complete disbelief, Lin Mo sighed wearily. This was truly a huge blunder, causing such a great impact on Yukino Yukinoshita's reputation. How should he apologize?

Damn it! It's all the fault of this useless system! I'm leaving the group!

"???"

No, how can you blame me for this?

System: "Password!"

Ignoring the foul thoughts running through his mind, Lin Mo didn't rashly chase after them. Both of them needed some time to calm down and consider their next move. After all, following the misunderstanding, if they didn't clear things up, the awkwardness would likely linger for a long time.

Fortunately, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly composed herself and walked into the classroom right on the bell during the first class, reverting to her usual aloof demeanor. However, she would still steal glances at Lin Mo from time to time before blushing.

It's not that Yukino Yukinoshita likes Lin Mo. After all, they haven't known each other for very long and haven't experienced any unforgettable things together. Saying that she likes him would be too fantastical.

The reason why Yukino Yukinoshita blushed was simple: shyness and embarrassment. After all, before this, Yukino Yukinoshita had always regarded Lin Mo as a friend.

She thought the relationship between the two was just a simple friendship, but she never expected that she had underestimated her charm. Lin Mo actually fell in love with her and boldly called her his wife.

I finally found a hard-won friendship, is it just going to fall apart like this? What should I do to protect Lin Mo's self-esteem and their friendship?

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Sigh~ I, who am so cute, am truly sinful!"

Noticing that Yukino Yukinoshita kept glancing at him and blushing from time to time, Lin Mo sighed helplessly. His charm was as great as ever. It was just a slip of the tongue that had deeply stirred Yukino Yukinoshita's heart, causing her to fall for him.

He had assumed he could easily explain the misunderstanding, since Yukino Yukinoshita was a very rational person and would surely listen patiently to his explanation. With his silver tongue and extraordinary wisdom, he was confident he could resolve the matter perfectly and maintain their friendship.

However, he underestimated his own charm. Just one sentence he blurted out had made Yukino Yukinoshita obsessed with him and kept stealing glances at him. If he explained, it would be that he had said something out of the blue, and Yukino Yukinoshita would probably never recover from that.

How can I both protect Yukino Yukinoshita's self-esteem and maintain this friendship?

Lin Mo: "Sigh~ My damn, irresistible charm!"

Finally, the two sighed deeply and pondered how to handle the situation. They had to find a perfect solution that would both respect each other's dignity and preserve their friendship!

The entire morning passed without any communication between the two, like strangers. Even when they made contact, they would only exchange a glance before quickly looking away and going about their own business.

Although they hadn't had much contact all morning, they gradually came up with a solution in mind.

That means we should just make this matter clear!

Making excuses will only give the other person the wrong impression, making them think that you still have a chance, which will leave room for future trouble! In that case, it is better to be upfront about this matter and clearly tell the other person that you have no such thoughts, that you only regard the other person as a friend, and that you hope that this friendship will last forever!

After all, sincerity is the best weapon!

Having made up their minds, the two looked at each other, nodded, and then looked away.

Before they knew it, time had slipped away, and the two of them coincidentally chose to discuss the matter in the afternoon.

The bell rang, and Lin Mo said, "Yukinoshita, could you wait a moment? There's something I want to talk to you about, it's about what happened this morning."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed inwardly. Just as she had guessed, Lin Mo harbored illusions. If this matter wasn't resolved quickly, it would become even more troublesome. So it was time to make a decision!

Yukino Yukinoshita: "I understand. I also want to have a good talk with you about what happened this morning. Let's go to the coffee shop to talk."
