Whoosh!
White light descended.
Ling Xiao appeared in Blazing Ember City and met up with Lin Mo.
His eyes were empty, his mind elsewhere.
Clearly, he had no mood to play the game right now. His head was full of thoughts about how to save Xia Wanwan.
But Lin Mo had called him online, so he had no choice but to log in.
After all, he had just promised Lin Mo: as long as Lin Mo was willing to help him save Xia Wanwan, he would unconditionally obey all of Lin Mo's commands in the world of Divine Oracle.
"Form the team first. We'll run the Venom Swamp dungeon in a bit and rush you to level 30 as soon as possible."
Ling Xiao nodded like a tool, "Okay."
As Lin Mo created the team and pulled Ning Xi and Ling Xiao into it, he did not set off for the Venom Swamp dungeon as he had said.
Instead, he stood there, watching the time.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"
"Waiting for someone."
Ling Xiao was confused, "Waiting for who?"
Lin Mo deliberately did not answer, "You'll know when she gets here."
While he was speaking, less than ten minutes later, a slender figure suddenly ran toward them.
When Ling Xiao looked closely and saw who it was, he froze on the spot.
Because that person… was Xia Wanwan.
"Wanwan!"
"Ling Xiao!"
The two ran toward each other and hugged tightly, crying with joy.
It felt like surviving a disaster.
Lin Mo checked the time and said in surprise, "Said ten minutes, and it really was ten minutes?"
She still had to go home from the police station and log in, which would take time.
That meant Ling Xue had resolved the issue and pulled Xia Wanwan out of the police station even faster than that.
Lin Mo could not help but sigh, "Have to admit, Mingyue Xin, you really are capable."
After the excitement settled a bit, Ling Xiao asked Xia Wanwan, "How did you get out?"
Xia Wanwan shook her head, her face full of disbelief, "I don't know either. The police suddenly told me that the injured person signed a letter of reconciliation, so they released me without charges."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao looked stunned.
After all, they already knew the thug who framed them was working with Wang Junjie.
Since he was acting under Wang Junjie's orders, how could he sign a reconciliation letter so easily?
Soon, Ling Xiao reacted.
He turned to look at Lin Mo.
Then he took Xia Wanwan's hand and walked over to Lin Mo.
With firm and burning eyes, he said to Lin Mo, "From now on, you are my boss, Lin Mo! I, Ling Xiao, am willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
Xia Wanwan, the campus beauty of Ning University, was not just a pretty face. She was quick-witted too.
She immediately realized that Lin Mo was the one who saved her.
With tears in her eyes, she quickly thanked him, "Senior Lin Mo, thank you!"
Lin Mo said, "If you really want to thank me, then hurry up and reach level 30 and help me take the level rush reward."
"Okay. Senior Lin Mo, we'll work hard to level up," Xia Wanwan and Ling Xiao said firmly, "Once we get the reward, we'll give it all to you!"
Ling Xiao had now become the second member under Lin Mo's future power, the future number one guild of Dragon Nation, no, the number one guild in the world.
And he was an A rank talent holder.
Lin Mo showed a fatherly smile of satisfaction.
As for the first member?
Of course it was Ning Xi, the number one empress of the Dragon Nation national server in his previous life, an SSS rank talent holder.
With limited team slots, they did not bring Fat Dahai and Skinny Monkey.
For the last spot, Lin Mo called Qin Feng.
After all, he was someone Lin Mo valued.
Even though this guy was a bit unreliable and always talking nonsense…
"Ah, Sister Lin! I'm really discussing a contract with a client! I'm not lying!"
"Of course it's a male client! Really, Sister Lin! If you don't believe me, listen!"
As he spoke, Qin Feng directly shoved his phone with a WeChat voice message in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao froze for a second, then reluctantly cooperated, putting on a dark face as he said, "Ahem! There's really no more room to negotiate on this car price? If not, forget it. I'll check other places."
Qin Feng gave Ling Xiao a thumbs up.
"Alright, Sister Lin, I won't talk more or my client will run away! I'll contact you later! Bye!"
After ending the call, Qin Feng let out a long sigh.
"Money's hard to earn, life's hard to live!"
"When I make it big in Divine Oracle, whoever wants to sell this damn car can go ahead!"
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly realized, "So the difficult client you mentioned last time… was her?"
"Who else? She's a rich lady," Qin Feng said, "I've got more than thirty brothers in my ZhuFeng Guild to feed."
"Man! Stressing me out."
At this moment, Lin Mo could not help but look at Qin Feng in a new light.
Seems like he was not as unreliable as Lin Mo had thought.
———
After leaving the city, one thousand level 50 NPC soldiers escorted Lin Mo in grand formation, drawing countless bystanders who stopped and stared in awe.
Passerby A: "That's the one who went viral last night, our Blazing Ember City Heavenly Ranking number one, Rulebound!"
Passerby B: "Damn! He can really control NPC troops? That's insane!"
Passerby C: "So cool! If it were me, I'd call all ten of my ex girlfriends to come watch, show them how awesome I am now after they looked down on me! Make them regret it."
Passerby D: "Bro, if you're useless, how do you have ten exes? If you're awesome, how did you get dumped ten times?"
[Level 36 dungeon, Venom Swamp]
Because players online had already discovered that the dungeon's Toxic Gas Bottles could effectively upgrade the Venom Set's level, its value and opportunity clearly surpassed the level 32 dungeon Snake King Island.
Some big spenders in Blazing Ember City had even posted purchase requests for Toxic Gas Bottles on the regional network.
Prices varied wildly, with the highest reaching five hundred yuan per bottle.
Even higher than the snake gallbladders from the level 32 dungeon.
Since Wang Junjie had stopped buying snake gallbladders, their value had dropped to only one or two hundred yuan, and Snake King Island was packed with people, with dungeon queues lasting several hours.
So even though Venom Swamp had a higher level requirement and greater difficulty, players were still willing to come here and take risks for money.
As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger.
The bold get rich, the timid go hungry.
At this moment, several five person teams gathered their courage and entered the dungeon.
But soon, cries of misery filled Blazing Ember City's chat channel:
[LearnFromMissAndEnterSociety (Level 26 Knight): "Damn it! This Venom Swamp dungeon is way too hard! Didn't even drop one Toxic Gas Bottle before we died."]
[Crooked Mouth War God (Level 27 Archer): "Obviously! You're a level 26 rookie and you dare run into a level 36 dungeon? Who do you think you are, Rulebound?"]
[AgainstHeaven (Level 28 Assassin): "Bro! You've got to know your limits. Understand what you're capable of. I never touch areas beyond my reach! You should learn from me!"]
[Empty City Old Dream (Level 28 Warrior, Heavenly Ranking No.9): "550 for Toxic Gas Bottles, unlimited purchase, instant mail and instant payment!"]
[AgainstHeaven: "Level 28 Assassin, D rank talent, looking for team! Anyone going to farm Venom Swamp for Toxic Gas Bottles? DM me!"]
[LearnFromMissAndEnterSociety: "As expected of AgainstHeaven…"]
[Ding! Players Rulebound, Liuli, Shaowd of the Wind, Wind Whistling, Gentle Evening Breeze, welcome to the level 36 dungeon Venom Swamp! Please find the dungeon mission and complete it to clear the dungeon.]
