Ding!
Lin Mo suddenly transferred 800 yuan to her.
Just as Su Yingxia was wondering why, Lin Mo said, "Two hundred a time. That's for the four times just now."
At the sight of that message, Su Yingxia's fair cheeks flushed crimson in an instant.
She was furious and embarrassed.
"Lin Mo! Do you seriously think I'm a prostitute?!"
But on second thought, she also felt a little lost, as though she had suddenly lost something.
That's not right! Lin Mo never used to be like this. He used to pamper me and cherish me, and he couldn't bear to lay a hand on me. Why does it feel like he only wants me now, without loving me?
While Su Yingxia was feeling inexplicably angry and dejected, Lin Mo sent another message:
"Register an account in Beginner Village No. 116 in Oracle. I'll help you level up."
Faced with Lin Mo's cold, heartless attitude, Su Yingxia stamped her foot in anger.
"You always used to call me baby!"
"Lin Mo, don't you love me anymore?!"
Reading Su Yingxia's angry messages, Lin Mo smiled indifferently.
In truth, Su Yingxia had taught him one thing: to deal with a rotten woman, he had to be a rotten man!
When I loved you, you really were a treasure.
But now that I don't, you're worth no more than a blade of grass to me!
Recalling their two hours of passionate sex, Lin Mo smirked. "Didn't you feel just how deeply I loved you earlier?"
Su Yingxia was furious and embarrassed.
But she remembered that she still needed Lin Mo to make more money off Wang Junjie.
So she didn't dare offend him.
"Then I'll come find you in the game!"
"Sure."
Four in the morning.
Oracle World.
Although many players who couldn't stay up all night had logged off one after another, there were still plenty of active players online.
Activity remained high.
Cloudside Town bustled with people coming and going.
After logging in, Lin Mo headed straight for the Blacksmith Shop.
He had realized there was something he had overlooked:
Attack power alone won't be enough to take down the Spider Queen. I'll need defense too!
Judging by the Exploding Spider's stats, the Spider Queen's attack power should be as high as 720! With only 64 defense right now, I can't withstand her damage at all!
She'll kill me in just a few hits. No matter how high my attack power is, I probably won't even get a chance to deal damage!
That was why Lin Mo was heading to the Blacksmith Shop: to craft another piece of top-quality armor!
He had to make sure he could take down the Spider Queen in one go!
On the way to the Blacksmith Shop, Lin Mo opened the prize draw interface.
He still hadn't used the three draws the system had awarded him for being the first to reach level 10 and complete his class advancement!
Once the wheel appeared, Lin Mo casually gave it a spin.
Rattle, rattle!
The pointer spun wildly before finally stopping on a relatively large white section.
[Ding! Congratulations! You won the seventh prize: gold coin +1!]
"Seventh prize? The worst one?"
"What kind of shitty luck is this..."
Lin Mo couldn't help grumbling.
In reality, though, the prize wasn't bad.
One gold coin was worth ten thousand yuan!
And if even the seventh prize was worth ten thousand yuan, that gave him something to look forward to.
Lin Mo was now full of anticipation for the higher-tier prizes!
"Again!"
Lin Mo spun the wheel again.
[Ding! Congratulations! You won the sixth prize: D-rank Mage skill book, Grand Fireball +1!]
"Oh! Sixth prize? Not bad this time. A D-rank skill book is worth tens of thousands!"
Delighted, Lin Mo rubbed his hands together and spun the wheel a third time.
Rattle, rattle!
The pointer spun rapidly.
This time, it stopped on a relatively small... orange section!
[Ding! Congratulations! You won the third prize: A-rank magic scroll, Skill Expansion +1!]
"Holy shit!"
"An A-rank magic scroll?!"
Lin Mo's heart immediately began racing.
Just how valuable was an A-rank magic scroll?
The most straightforward comparison was the E-rank magic scroll, [Limited-Time Discount], that Lin Mo had obtained from Jasmine, the potion shop owner. Reselling potions with it had earned him a net profit of over a hundred thousand yuan!
And this one was A-rank-four whole ranks above E-rank!
Lin Mo opened his mail and claimed all three prizes.
His gaze immediately landed on the A-rank magic scroll-
[Skill Expansion] (A-rank magic scroll): Effect: permanently increases Skill Slots by 5 upon use. Note: each player may only use one magic scroll of this type per rank in their lifetime.
Five extra Skill Slots! This was something money could hardly buy!
After all, players in Oracle World only unlocked one Skill Slot every three levels. Getting five would normally require gaining a full fifteen levels.
The more Skill Slots players had, the more skills they could learn, and the more they could outclass players with fewer skills!
For Lin Mo, who could evolve skills, these five Skill Slots were even more important!
No matter how valuable something was, he wouldn't sell it if it could improve his strength and potential.
So Lin Mo crushed the A-rank magic scroll on the spot, even though its market value was at least seven figures.
[Ding! You used the A-rank magic scroll, Skill Expansion. Skill Slots +5!]
Looking at his Skill Slots, which had jumped to twelve, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction. "That takes care of the slots. Now I just need to wait until everyone reaches level 10 and advances their class. Then I'll buy skill books, burn them, and evolve more SSS-rank skills!"
As for the D-rank Mage skill book, Grand Fireball, Lin Mo happened to pass the auction house, so he listed it for fifty thousand yuan.
People had scrambled to buy the E-rank skill book Poisoning for thirty thousand.
Fifty thousand for a D-rank book was perfectly reasonable.
Unfortunately, Grand Fireball was an upgraded version of Lesser Fireball, so it fell within the Mage class's basic skill set.
Learning D-rank Grand Fireball would automatically replace E-rank Lesser Fireball.
Otherwise, a D-rank skill book that wasn't a basic class skill would have been worth at least twice as much!
After leaving the auction house, Lin Mo arrived at the Blacksmith Shop.
He found the blacksmith, Li Li, and requested a crafting blueprint for a level 10, tier 2 [Flowing Silver Crown].
He checked the materials required to craft the Flowing Silver Crown.
Just like the Flame Ring, it required one gold coin and thirty reputation points.
He had just won exactly one gold coin in the draw.
As for reputation, he had received a hundred points for placing first on the leveling leaderboard. Since he was in no hurry to upgrade his talent, he had plenty to spare.
Apart from those, the other three materials were very different from what the Flame Ring required:
Thirty silverlight gems, thirty wisps of flowing silver soul, and thirty pieces of silver iron!
They corresponded to three level 10 wilderness areas.
He had just finished making these preparations.
Right then, Su Yingxia sent him a message. "Lin Mo, you told me to wait for you in the square. I've been waiting so long! Why aren't you here yet?"
Lin Mo smiled faintly. "What's wrong? It's only been a little while, and you already can't wait?"
He remembered how, after she dumped him a year ago, he had gone to wait outside her building several times to win her back. He had endured the strange looks from passersby and often waited for hours!
It's about time you got a taste of the torment of waiting!
Meanwhile.
In Cloudside Town's square, Su Yingxia stamped her feet in anger.
"You always used to wait for me! Whenever I needed you, you would come running!"
"Damn you, Lin Mo! How dare you make me wait this long!"
But why? Could it be... he really doesn't care about me anymore?
An intense sense of loss swept through her heart once more!
No! If he didn't like me anymore, why would he agree to get back together the moment I contacted him?
He must still care about me. He just doesn't dare make it too obvious because he's afraid I'll dump him again!
With that thought, Su Yingxia felt much better.
Hmph, Lin Mo. I've got your little schemes all figured out!
Money wasn't the only thing Su Yingxia wanted.
She also wanted Lin Mo to love her sincerely, just as he had a year ago, and see her as his one and only!
Just as Su Yingxia was basking in her sense of superiority, something happened.
A soft voice suddenly called out beside her:
"Su Yingxia?"
