It had to be said, Ning Xi's younger brother, Ning Fei, was practically an all-around genius.
Not only did he pick up the game incredibly fast, he had entered Divine Oracle only four or five days ago, a full five days later than other players, yet he managed to keep up with the top-tier players, already reaching level 50 and entering a secondary main city together with Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and the others.
What's more, these past few days he had taken care of all three meals offline, and even kept the house spotless.
In comparison, Lin Mo felt like a complete waste.
"Brother-in-law, Inferno City hasn't been peaceful these past few days. You and my sister should be more careful online."
During dinner, Ning Fei reminded Lin Mo and Ning Xi, "You didn't hear it, inside and outside the city, when those guild players mention the name Rulebound, their eyes look like wolves and tigers."
"Brother-in-law, you turned down so many guild invitations. It's inevitable some people will hold a grudge. And now that Divine Nation is trapped in Snowwind City and can't support you for the time being, you really need to be extra careful."
"Trapped in Snowwind City?", Lin Mo noticed that Ning Fei seemed to know something about Divine Nation, so he asked, "What exactly is going on with them?"
Sure enough, Ning Fei was informed, "From what I know, a beast tide broke out attacking Snowwind City. The teleportation array has been forcibly shut down, and everyone in the city is resisting the beast tide right now."
'This beast tide came at such a time?'
Based on Lin Mo's understanding of the rules of Divine Oracle, he guessed: the chance of it being accidental was extremely low, it was most likely man-made.
But no matter what, Lin Mo really ought to thank whoever triggered the beast tide for temporarily holding back Divine Nation.
Of course, Lin Mo also understood that the beast tide wouldn't hold Divine Nation for long.
"Even if it means staying up all night, we have to clear the Third Hall of the Hall of Yama and get the scroll."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fei said, "Brother-in-law, where are you and my sister? I'll come meet up with you. If there's anything, I can help too."
"No," Ning Xi said, "The Hall of Yama requires at least Bronze rank to enter. Your rank doesn't meet the requirement, so you can't get in."
Ning Fei looked troubled, "Alright… looks like I'm still too weak! I can't help you or my sister at all."
Speaking of helping, Lin Mo suddenly seemed to recall something.
He immediately picked up his phone and asked in their small group chat, ["Have you guys done the Super God Arena yet?"]
Ling Xiao, ["Not yet. I was thinking of waiting until Inferno City has more players before doing it, so the win rate is higher. After all, those who reach the secondary main city earlier are the stronger experts from the tertiary cities."]
Skinny Monkey: ["If Brother Xiao isn't doing it, I'm not doing it either!"]
Fatty Hai: ["If Monkey isn't doing it, I'm not doing it either!"]
Xia Wanwan: ["Uh… I haven't done it either…"]
Qin Feng: ["Hehehe! With the Tier 5 weapon Shadow Greatsword that Brother Mo gave me, I easily got a ten-win streak in solo arena! But aside from solo, I didn't dare to try the others."]
Seeing that aside from Qin Feng, the rest hadn't done it yet, Lin Mo let out a breath, ["Good thing you didn't."]
["Then when you log in later, go finish the arena. Forty matches, all wins. No problem, right?"]
???
Skinny Monkey: ["There's a problem! A huge problem!"]
Fatty Hai: ["Forty wins in a row? You might as well just kill me!"]
Qin Feng: ["Brother Mo, you think too highly of us! Do you think we're you? If we can win twenty matches, that's already pushing our limits! In all of Inferno City, there aren't many people with over a 60% win rate!"]
Lin Mo: ["?"]
Lin Mo: ["Didn't you receive what I sent you?"]
Skinny Monkey: ["What?"]
Fatty Hai: ["+1!"]
Xia Wanwan: ["+2!"]
Qin Feng: ["+10086!"]
Ling Xiao: ["We're not online."]
'No wonder.'
Lin Mo had sent them mail just before logging off earlier.
So the group logged in one after another, planning to take a look.
After all, Lin Mo had already sent them A-rank skill books and Tier 5 equipment a few days ago.
That made them feel that whatever Lin Mo sent definitely wouldn't be bad.
———
[Inferno City]
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several beams of white light descended as Magic Knight Ling Xiao, Thief Skinny Monkey, Healer Fatty Hai, Elementalist Xia Wanwan, and Sword-and-Shield Warrior Qin Feng all logged in simultaneously.
The moment they logged in, they saw their mail flashing.
The instant each of them opened their mail, they all stiffened, their bodies trembling, almost fainting on the spot.
[Ding ~ You have retrieved from mail the attachment sent by player Rulebound: Venom Set Equipment Chest (Level 50 Tier 3 Gold, class-selectable) ×2!]
"What the hell, Level 50 Tier 3 full gold Venom set?"
"Holy shit!"
"This thing would cost tens of millions of RMB per set on the market, right? And Boss Mo gave each of us two sets?"
"No, wait! My god! Brother Mo just gave me a Tier 5 weapon last time, and now it's a full gold Venom set. Where is he getting all this stuff from?"
"Even if I sold my 4S car dealership, I still couldn't afford a single set of this Venom gear!"
Just as they looked at each other, overwhelmed with shock and excitement, a message from Lin Mo appeared in the group chat, ["Two sets each. One for you, one for your pet. I want you to reach Silver rank as fast as possible. Any problems?"]
Qin Feng: ["No problem at all! I'll reach Silver within ten days! If I can't, I'll chop off Monkey's d!"]
Fatty Hai: ["No problem at all! I'll reach Silver within ten days! If I can't, I'll chop off Monkey's d!"]
Ling Xiao: ["No problem at all! I'll reach Silver within ten days! If I can't, I'll chop off Monkey's d!"]
Skinny Monkey: ["?"]
For Lin Mo, this wasn't a sudden whim.
The golden title Supreme Lord gave Lin Mo one more active pet slot than ordinary players.
But from beginning to end, Lin Mo had only raised one pet, Strong-Maned Pig.
The other slot was reserved for a [Priest].
The Ancestral-level [Divine Descent · Seraph], evolved from a Priest, possessed heaven-defying powers such as resurrection and death immunity.
Whether it was before Divine Oracle descended, to revive himself or teammates and avoid death penalties, or after its descent, bringing the dead back to life, or triggering Ling Xiao's talent "Double Burst," Divine Descent · Seraph would undoubtedly be an indispensable pet under Lin Mo's command.
And according to Lin Mo's research: the normal-grade [Priest] that can evolve into Divine Descent · Seraph belongs to the ultra-rare race [God Race], which only appears in very few secondary main cities.
So on his very first day in Inferno City, Lin Mo had already specifically looked into it.
Fortunately, there were traces of the God Race within Inferno City, and they were located in a dungeon to the east called [Divine Tomb].
However, this dungeon required Silver rank to enter, and a five-person team was mandatory.
That was why Lin Mo wanted Ling Xiao and the others to reach Silver rank as soon as possible, so they could team up and enter the Divine Tomb dungeon together.
Using capture scrolls to catch a [Priest].
Then, using his SSS-grade talent Soul Flame, evolve it into the Ancestral-level Divine Descent · Seraph.
As for these ten sets of Venom gear, they were rewards Ning Xi obtained earlier through tenfold amplification when completing the A-rank hidden mission Eradicate Darkness in Blazing Ember City.
Leaving them in storage would be a waste.
Selling them would only strengthen enemies.
So giving them to Ling Xiao and the others was just right.
After all, in the future, they would all be core members of Lin Mo's guild.
As for Ning Fei, Lin Mo had already spent money to custom-make a Venom set for him.
After all, the mission reward Venom sets were level 50, which Ning Fei couldn't use before.
The set he wore had been upgraded step by step from level 20 using materials.
It was even more valuable than the ones Ling Xiao and the others had.
Thus, after equipping the level 50 Tier 3 full gold Venom sets, Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and the others began their rampage through the Super God Arena…
Meanwhile, after finishing dinner, Lin Mo and Ning Xi logged in quickly.
Leaving the city, they headed straight for the Hall of Yama.
In the shadows, the sharpshooter Storm Rain, who had been camping the spot where they previously logged out, immediately sent a message to Tyrant, ["Guild leader, Rulebound and Liu Li have logged in and left the city."]
Tyrant: ["Follow them! I'll bring people over to meet you right away!"]
["Yes!"]
