Great Xia's Strongest in His Past Life, the Server's Empress!

When Lin Mo woke up, it was already eleven in the morning.

Although he had only slept a few hours, he felt full of energy!

At his current level, it was no exaggeration to say that even in another ten hours, at least 99.99% of the players on the server still would not catch up to him.

But to remain at the very pinnacle of Oracle, an SSS-rank talent and memories of his past life were not enough. Lin Mo also had to put in far more effort than ordinary people!

In this life, Lin Mo's goal was not merely to become powerful.

He wanted to become the strongest player in the world, dominating the other nine SSS-rank talent holders!

Besides, he had something important to do shortly, and he needed to set aside some time for it.

So Lin Mo got dressed and went downstairs.

He spent twenty-two yuan on a bowl of pork trotter rice at the fast-food restaurant downstairs from his apartment complex.

Then he headed across the street to the Listening Rain Pavilion, a signature foot spa chain in Jiang Province.

In his past life, Lin Mo had never dared visit such an expensive establishment.

But the thought of soon meeting one of the world's nine SSS-rank talent holders from his past life-the greatest empress on Great Xia's server, revered by hundreds of millions-made his heart surge with excitement!

"Welcome, honored guest! Do you have a reservation, sir?"

Faced with the pretty receptionist's question, Lin Mo seemed well prepared. "Give me your best private room. Also, I want therapist number 27."

"Money is no object."

As he spoke, Lin Mo gave each of the two receptionists a two-hundred-yuan tip.

Receiving a generous tip equivalent to a day and a half of their wages, both young women instantly lit up!

"Of course, handsome! Please wait a moment. We'll arrange everything right away! We guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Following one of the young women, Lin Mo arrived at a luxurious private room on the second floor.

He had barely sat down.

A girl in a white blouse and a short black skirt timidly stepped inside.

"H-hello, honored guest! I'm Ning Xi, therapist number 27 at the Listening Rain Pavilion... at your service!"

The girl was not especially beautiful.

She had neither Xia Wanwan's stunning beauty nor Su Yingxia's refined, otherworldly elegance.

There were even a few freckles on her face.

Yet at first glance, she looked clean, neat, and pleasant.

She had a gentle, modest charm that made people want to protect her!

At that moment, her face was flushed, and she looked terribly nervous.

"Your first time?" Lin Mo asked, though he already knew the answer.

The girl nodded and spoke in a tiny voice. "I... I just started."

"It's all right. It's my first time too."

"Let's get started, then."

With that, Lin Mo lay facedown on the bed.

The girl named Ning Xi frantically tried to recall the techniques the other women had taught her during training over the past two days.

She approached Lin Mo timidly and began.

The instant her small, soft hands touched his back, Lin Mo felt more comfortable than ever before!

Of course, it was not because her technique was particularly good.

It was because...

The greatest empress on Great Xia's server in the Oracle World in his past life was personally giving him a massage.

The immense satisfaction and pleasure that gave him were beyond words!

Yes.

That was right.

Who could have imagined it?

Xi Yue, the strongest player on Great Xia's server and one of only nine SSS-rank talent holders in the entire world in his past life.

Before entering Oracle, she had been an utterly unremarkable therapist at a foot spa?!

In his past life, Lin Mo had stood at the bottom of the Oracle World alongside countless other weak players, gazing up at the empress.

He had seen her reduce a super boss to ashes with a flick of her fingers-a boss that millions of players from an entire major city could not defeat!

He had seen a single glance from her strike terror into the T0-ranked powerhouses of empires such as Japan and the Empire on Which the Sun Never Set!

He had seen her faintest smile send countless people into a haze of fantasies and rapture!

That was Xi Yue!

That was Ning Xi!

Lin Mo had not known in his past life.

He had only heard one of his disreputable friends mention it:

"I've met Emperor Xi Yue! In real life, she used to be nothing more than a therapist at a foot spa in Ning'an City!"

"I went there several times. I remember it was called the Listening Rain Pavilion, and she was therapist number 27. She wasn't very popular because of the freckles on her face."

"Who would've thought she'd go from a nobody to a phoenix in Oracle! Damn it, if I'd known, I should've given her more business back then! I regret it so much!!!"

So in this life.

He would make his move on the empress while she was still innocent!

Then he would have a loyal SSS-rank empress at his side, useful both in battle and in bed...

"Now that's the life!" Lin Mo could not help laughing aloud.

Ning Xi came from a scholarly family, and this was her first time doing this kind of work.

If not for the need to save up for her younger brother's tuition and support her family...

Half an hour passed.

Lin Mo was so comfortable he nearly fell asleep.

He checked the time. It was already past one in the afternoon.

Only then did Lin Mo get up, thoroughly satisfied.

He took out his phone and scanned Ning Xi's code to send her a cash gift.

"This is your tip. I'll ask for you again next time."

With that, Lin Mo stood and left.

Ning Xi was utterly drained, barely able to lift her hands. But when she opened the cash gift Lin Mo had sent and saw that he had actually given her a thousand yuan, her heart raced and her eyes went wide!

All her exhaustion vanished in an instant!

Meanwhile, Lin Mo arrived at the front desk.

While paying his bill, he also signed up for a Supreme VIP Card!

He loaded a whopping fifty thousand yuan onto it!

The receptionist, who had not handled such a large transaction in six months, was dumbstruck!

Lin Mo instructed her, "Keep number 27 reserved for me. Don't let anyone else book her, no matter who they are."

Knowing he was a major client with enormous potential, the receptionist nodded repeatedly. "Of course, Mr. Lin! Rest assured, I'll keep your instructions firmly in mind!!!"

As soon as Lin Mo left.

Several other pretty therapists began whispering among themselves.

"Number 27? Isn't that the new girl, Ning Xi? Why is he so taken with her?"

"Exactly. Ning Xi isn't even that pretty. She's all meek and frail, and she has freckles!"

"I just don't get it! Do rich people like that delicate type?"

Elsewhere.

Lin Mo left the Listening Rain Pavilion.

Still wanting more, he glanced back.

He murmured, "Fifty thousand should last three months, right?"

That was right. Lin Mo was planning to play the long game!

First, three months would give him time to grow closer to Ning Xi, until she belonged completely and utterly to him, body and soul!

After all, Empress Xi Yue was still innocent and naive, nothing like the aloof, cold woman she had been in his past life!

Second, according to the events of his past life, Ning Xi had not entered Oracle of her own accord. Three months later, when Oracle devoured reality and forced all humanity into the Oracle World, she too had been dragged inside.

So.

Xi Yue drew her SSS-rank talent when she entered Oracle three months from now. If I change the course of history in this life and have her enter Oracle early through a gaming helmet, there's a very real chance she'll miss out on the SSS-rank talent she had in my past life!

I can't rush this. I have to follow the course of my past life's history, one step at a time!

A blazing light shone in Lin Mo's eyes.

In this life.

This SSS-rank empress will be mine!!
