Sky-High Price! (Seeking Good Reviews!)

"Sssss~"

Lin Dabao and the others were now sharply inhaling cold air.

Their hearts were shaken beyond measure.

"Another headshot—so brutal!"

This single thought flashed through everyone's minds.

They hadn't expected Lin Mo to hide such formidable strength, and once unleashed, to be so ferocious.

Two Fifth-grade Mutant Beasts hadn't even had a chance to fight back.

The battle was fist-to-fist, raw and visceral, making everyone's eyelids twitch.

Among those present, only Chen Jia felt no discomfort at all.

Instead, when her gaze fell on Lin Mo, it burned with intensity.

Fist-to-fist combat was the most exhilarating fighting style—she loved it!

"Ding~"

A yellow Beast Core fell to the ground, rolling a few times.

It echoed the white Beast Core on the other side.

Lin Mo withdrew his stance, bent down, and picked up both Beast Cores, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

With the Thunder Element boosting the Hegemon Fist, it was indeed even more domineering.

Still, that Golden Armored Savage Bear's head had been really tough.

Wearing the Obsidian Gauntlets, he'd had to land six consecutive punches before blowing its skull apart—no easy feat.

If Lin Dabao and the others knew what he was thinking right now, they'd definitely roll their eyes at him.

You're only Third-grade, and you blew apart the head of a Golden Armored Savage Bear, known for its defense, in six punches—what more do you want? Trying to defy the heavens?

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy freaking crap!"

At that moment, Lin Dabao came bounding over noisily, his face full of shock.

"Lin Mo, Brother Mo, my dear brother, you've been this strong all along?"

"Lin Mo, you... what grade are you, really?" Liu Peipei followed up, asking in astonishment.

She was still a bit dazed, immersed in the battle scene from moments ago.

Chen Jia, however, watched Lin Mo in silence, her eyes shifting—no one knew what that girl was thinking.

As for Xiao Ya, she was making exaggerated gestures, pinching and pulling at Lin Mo's body left and right, as if searching for something.

"Xiao Ya, what are you doing?"

Lin Mo, thoroughly uncomfortable from her antics, jumped back two steps and looked at her warily.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought I was already a freak, but you're even more of a freak than me—what a monster!"

"..." Lin Mo was speechless.

You're the monster, your whole family are monsters, you little brat!

"Hey, do you think my flying knives could take you down?"

Suddenly, Xiao Ya dropped another bombshell without warning, pulling out two Golden Flying Daggers.

"Whoa, young miss, don't mess around—I can't handle you."

Seeing this, Lin Mo immediately leaped several meters away.

Over this journey, he'd realized that Xiao Ya was a quirky, unpredictable girl with a jumpy mind.

Her actions were erratic, and she dared to do anything.

Most of the time, you couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Lin Mo was genuinely worried she might get the urge to throw those two daggers at him.

That was no joke.

Even though his combat power was indeed impressive now, Psychic Masters were a different breed.

He really wasn't confident he could handle it.

"Hehe, so you're admitting that this young lady is stronger, huh?"

Seeing Lin Mo like that, Xiao Ya grinned mischievously.

"Yes, yes, you're the strongest."

"Mm-hmm, Little Linzi, you've got good taste."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes hard, utterly speechless.

"Um... Lin Mo, can I talk to you about something?"

At that point, Lin Dabao and Liu Peipei exchanged a glance, and then Lin Dabao stammered with a sheepish grin.

"What's up?"

"Could you let Liu Peipei and me have these two Beast Cores? Their attributes match ours perfectly."

Lin Dabao said a bit sheepishly.

Beast Cores—every martial artist can use them to refine weapons and equipment, or to aid in cultivation, regardless of attribute. But those with matching attributes get a much greater effect when absorbing them.

Especially Fifth-grade Beast Cores and above; the energy contained within is far more refined.

Moreover, these two Beast Cores weren't common. Though Earth-element Mutant Beasts weren't few, they still varied by type and grade. The Golden Armored Savage Bear ranked among the top of all Earth-element Mutant Beasts in type and grade—a rare find. As for the Light-Chasing Leopard, a Light-element Mutant Beast, it was even more extremely scarce.

"That's all? No problem."

Lin Mo listened and readily agreed. To him, as long as it wasn't a Lightning-element Beast Core, it was useless. Instead, swapping them for money or supplies was far more practical. Besides, these two were his teammates. After getting along the whole way, everyone clicked well and shared similar temperaments.

"That's great! Give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money right now."

Lin Dabao was overjoyed, and Liu Peipei beside him also lit up with delight.

"In such a hurry?" Lin Mo looked at Lin Dabao with amusement. This guy was so eager, like he was afraid Lin Mo would back out. Shaking his head, he recited his account number.

Lin Dabao and Liu Peipei glanced at it and quickly made the transfer.

[Ding, you have received a transfer from account ending in 5669. Amount: 80 million.]

[Ding, you have received a transfer from account ending in 7888. Amount: 100 million.]

"Holy shit!"

Seeing the two notifications pop up, Lin Mo was dumbfounded, then looked at the two with confusion.

"This... isn't this too much?"

"Too much? Not at all. Brother Mo, this is a Golden Armored Savage Bear Beast Core, and Fifth-grade at that—it's worth this price." Lin Dabao waved his hand, then cradled the Beast Core with eyes gleaming.

"Then Sister Peipei, what's with your 100 million? Aren't they both Fifth-grade Beast Cores?" Lin Mo asked, puzzled.

"Lin Mo, this is a Light-element Beast Core, a hundred times rarer than other Beast Cores. This is the price. Honestly, I'm still getting a bit of a bargain here. If this thing were thrown onto the black market, it would cost a lot more."

Hearing this, Lin Mo was a bit surprised. He seemed to have underestimated the value of these Beast Cores. He hadn't expected two Beast Cores to sell for such a sky-high price.

"Brother Mo, let me tell you—for martial artists, money isn't important. Rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, martial techniques, and Beast Cores that match you—those are what matter. Once the quality and attributes of these things are rare, sometimes no amount of money can buy them. And sure, 100 million looks like a lot. But think about it—spending this bit of money to skyrocket your strength? Once your strength takes a huge leap, are you still worried about earning this money back?"

Seeming to notice Lin Mo's surprise, Lin Dabao explained with a chuckle.

"You've got a point." Lin Mo nodded in realization. He hadn't expected to suddenly have over a hundred million in funds. No wonder they said martial artists made money easily—it really was true. If this were before, he wouldn't have dared to imagine it. The other meaning of "poor scholars, rich martial artists" wasn't wrong at all. To become a martial artist, you needed to invest massive resources and money into training. But in return, once you became a powerful martial artist, the speed at which you earned money naturally soared, and wealth was just around the corner.

"Come on, let's go check out the Hundred Life Flower."

At this moment, Xiao Ya began to urge him on.

She had little interest in the Beast Cores of Mutant Beasts.

But the Hundred Life Flower—that was a treasure every martial artist sought.

"Alright!"

Lin Mo smiled and led the way toward the cave entrance around the bend...
