[Your bank account ****649 has received 9,000,000 yuan. Current balance: 82,423,280 yuan! (Dragon Nation Bank)]
Right after the deal was settled, Lin Mo received a transfer notification.
Dragon Soul Aoshi truly trusted Lin Mo's character and strength.
'Same old saying.'
'Working with a veteran like Dragon Soul Aoshi, who's been navigating the business world for years, just feels comfortable.'
So Lin Mo and the others temporarily exited the dungeon.
Ling Xiao and Xia Wanwan didn't say a word. They immediately handed over the 20 gold coins rewarded by the system, along with the First Clear Grand Gift Pack, to Lin Mo.
It could be said that Lin Mo had given Xia Wanwan a new life.
The couple who survived disaster no longer wanted anything else. Everything they did now was for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo did not stand on ceremony.
"I'll take the clearance gift pack. You keep the gold coins yourselves. Remember, don't cash them out. Use them to buy equipment and skills, improve your strength."
"Only when your strength goes up will no one in the World of Divine Oracle be able to bully you."
Xia Wanwan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Senior Lin Mo!"
Ling Xiao's heart was firm as well, "I'll definitely become strong! I'll definitely protect you, Wanwan!"
After gathering what Qin Feng and Ning Xi had, Lin Mo ended up with five First Clear Grand Gift Packs at once.
Filled with anticipation, Lin Mo opened them all.
The rewards were beyond expectation.
[Ding~ You have opened the First Clear Grand Gift Pack of the dungeon Venom Swamp. You received: Gold Coins +50, Poison Gas Bottles +100, C-Rank Mage Skill Book · Poison Explosion Technique!]
Every single gift pack had the exact same configuration.
Even more valuable than the First Clear Grand Gift Pack from Snake King Island back then.
Five gift packs gave a total of 250 gold coins. 500 Poison Gas Bottles. Three C-Rank skill books and two C-Rank magic scrolls.
The profit was maxed out.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt it more deeply than ever: In the World of Divine Oracle, as long as you have strength, it's equal to having everything.
In his previous life, because he had no strength, even though Lin Mo worked harder than anyone else, grinding 16 hours a day, he clearly remembered that in the three months before Divine Oracle descended, the money in his bank card had never once exceeded six figures.
And now, to achieve what once took him three months, he only needed to move his fingers.
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction, his heart filled with longing for more power, "I still need to become even stronger!"
The rich value of the First Clear Grand Gift Pack also made Lin Mo full of expectation for the second, third, and fourth clear reward packs that would follow.
Lin Mo wasn't worried at all about the second and third clears being snatched by other players.
Because at this stage, players in Blazing Ember City were still struggling just to clear the level 32 dungeon Snake King Island.
Not to mention this level 36 dungeon, Venom Swamp.
Unless Ning Xi made a move. And as for Ning Xi, Lin Mo had already made arrangements.
"You taking second place on the Level Ranking reward should be secure. Right now, the main focus is the three of them."
Lin Mo glanced at Ling Xiao and the others and said to Ning Xi, "How about this. I'll take the people from Dragon Soul to run the dungeon. You take them to level up."
Since dungeon missions only give rewards once.
Repeatedly farming the dungeon, unless it was to collect Poison Gas Bottles, was far slower for leveling than going back to the city to grind quests.
So what Lin Mo wanted was to take both the Venom Swamp and the level up rewards at the same time.
Maximize the benefits.
However, Ning Xi had her own idea.
"Brother Lin Mo, how about we switch? You take them to level up, and I'll take Dragon Soul's people to run the dungeon?"
"My damage is enough to one-shot dungeon monsters. My kill speed is faster than yours. If I lead the dungeon, it should be a bit quicker than you."
Lin Mo instantly felt a little awkward and tried to save face, "Ahem! Sure, it's all the same anyway."
Lin Mo instructed the Cavalry Captain, Karen, "You lead the cavalry and continue guarding outside the Venom Swamp. Without my order, you are not to withdraw on your own."
Karen lowered her head, "Yes, my lord!"
As Lin Mo and Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and Xia Wanwan crushed their Return Scrolls and turned into silver light, five hundred level 50 heavy cavalry stationed outside the Venom Swamp dungeon instantly gave Ning Xi a full sense of security.
So they split up.
———
After Lin Mo and the others returned to the city, he casually led them to accept a few hidden quests.
"Wait…"
Qin Feng was the first to notice something was off.
"Bro, what kind of quests are you having us take?"
"Holy crap! Hidden quests!"
Ling Xiao and Xia Wanwan only just reacted.
"This… the three I accepted are all hidden quests?"
"Senior Lin Mo, how do you know about so many hidden quests?"
Looking at the three of them with faces full of shock.
Lin Mo blurted out, "Isn't this something you can claim as long as you've got hands?"
The moment he said that, the three of them began doubting their entire lives.
'That's insane!'
In reality, Lin Mo knew far more than just these.
It was just that compared to the greater value of the four major dungeons and those A-Rank hidden quests, these mere E-Rank and D-Rank hidden quests were nothing but small scraps of profit.
If he didn't need to help Ling Xiao and the others level up, Lin Mo wouldn't even bother spending time on these quests.
And the ones Lin Mo had them accept were all team-based hidden quests, making it convenient for the three of them to receive balanced resources and level up quickly.
So after accepting the quests, Lin Mo led the still-shocked trio out of the city to carry out the hidden quests.
———
On the other side.
Ning Xi waited for the Dragon Soul Guild players to arrive, formed a team with four Dragon Soul players, and entered the dungeon.
"Why is it only Liuli alone? Where's Rulebound?"
"Yeah, with only Liuli, can she solo the Venom Swamp dungeon?"
At first, the four Dragon Soul players who followed into the dungeon were still questioning and worried.
Until Ning Xi swung her staff, and with massive damage numbers of twenty to thirty thousand each time, instantly killed one level 36 giant lizard after another that was nearly unbeatable to them.
In an instant, the whole mood changed.
"Holy crap! That's insane!"
"Boss Liuli 666!"
"Looks like this dungeon run is secured!"
