Lin Mo hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply. "It's not a big deal, really. My mom called me last night and said that her friend's daughter is about my age and is also studying in the capital."

"I don't have a girlfriend yet, so she wanted us to meet and chat. If we feel it's right, then we can start a relationship."

After saying that, he added, "My mom is quite interesting. When I was in high school, she was always afraid that I would fall in love too early. But now that the college entrance exam is over, she is thinking about having a grandson as soon as possible and can't wait for me to find a girlfriend."

An Youyu bit her lip hard, staring blankly at Lin Mo, "What...what are you thinking?"

"not see."

Lin Moyi said righteously, "How can a man be seduced by beauty? Even if a hero can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, it depends on what kind of beauty she is."

An Youyu gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands, unconsciously tightening her grip. "What if the other person is very beautiful?"

Lin Mo retorted, "Can anyone be more beautiful than you?"

This answer completely surprised An Youyu. Her mouth was agape, and her cheeks flushed red. "I... am very ordinary."

Lin Mo held the girl's shoulders and said seriously, "Can't you leave other girls a way out? If you're ordinary, then all the girls in the world are extraordinary."

"I……"

An Youyu's facial temperature rose.

Before she knew it, Lin Mo had pulled her into his arms again. After a while, she began to vaguely sense that something was wrong.

But just as this thought surfaced in her mind, she heard Lin Mo's self-talk in her ear.

"Little Fish is so beautiful. If you could indulge me a little more, I'm afraid I would never be interested in any other girl in my life."

Upon hearing this, An Youyu lost all will to resist. She nestled against Lin Mo's chest and silently thought, "Actually... it's not that we can't indulge this bad guy... as long as he doesn't go too far..."

From an angle that An Youyu couldn't see, Lin Mo's lips curled up in a wild smile.

Little brat, trying to outdo me in acting?

Ah--

So tender!

…………

At 11:30 a.m., Lin Mo and An Youyu met Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen at a restaurant in Liuzhou.

"Master, Senior Bai."

Upon entering the private room, An Youyu immediately bowed to the two men.

Duan Ya's eyes showed doting affection as he pulled An Youyu to sit down. "Girl, has Lin Mo bullied you these past two days? If he dares to bully you, tell your master, and your master will kill him."

Bai Wuhen: "Count me in."

Lin Mo: "..."

It was one thing for Duan Ya to say such things, but what surprised him was that Bai Wuhen, who was usually very sparing with words, would also join in the fun.

Bai Wuhen noticed Lin Mo's resentful gaze and shrugged. "What are you looking at?"

Lin Mo muttered under his breath, "Senior Bai, can you please stop meddling in this mess?"

Bai Wuhen shook his head, "You being with An Yatou is already a step up for you. Just imagine, a country pig has actually snagged a jade cabbage. If you still dare to bully her under these circumstances, I definitely won't tolerate it."

Lin Mo's face darkened.

If you can't use an analogy, then don't use one, okay?

Country pig?

Jadeite cabbage?

*****!

After serving the dishes, Lin Mo picked up some food for An Youyu while asking, "Master, are you and Senior Bai alright?"

Whom are you looking down on?

Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen exchanged a glance and said the exact same thing in unison.

Lin Mo stopped, put down his chopsticks, and raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong."

An Youyu lowered her head and ate her food in small bites, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Bai Wuhen ate very quickly, finishing his meal in no time. He then picked up his backpack and took out two black jade boxes.

"These are two extraordinary fruits from the Leng and Shen families."

Lin Mo picked up a black jade box. The moment he opened it, a familiar fragrance quickly filled the entire private room. He couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of an extraordinary fruit, the overflowing spiritual energy alone gives one a feeling of cleansing one's marrow and bones."

A rare glint of fervor flashed in Bai Wuhen's eyes. He put the other unopened black jade box back into his backpack, turned to the cliff, and said, "Senior, after sending these two little ones to Jingchuan, I'm going to Sword Valley for seclusion. I hope to break through to the Transcendent Realm as soon as possible."

"Sword Valley?"

"Correct."

Why choose Sword Valley?

"A swordsman must be the best at the sword."

Bai Wuhen's voice was calm, "Whether it's breaking through to level ten or breaking through to the extraordinary, the difference isn't that big for me. My only choice is the sword, and it will only be the sword."

That pure look in his eyes filled Duan Ya with envy, and he sighed, "Perhaps it's really because I'm getting old. Compared to you, I've lost the madness to pursue the way of the sword."

Bai Wuhen nodded, "That's why I said, senior is not a qualified sword cultivator."

Duan Ya's lips twitched, and he stared at Bai Wuhen for a while before looking away. "Little Bai, I think you should talk less in the future."

"why?"

"It's easy to offend people."

"why?"

"..."

After the meal, the four of them didn't linger and took a car back to Jingchuan.

Liuzhou is only a two-hour drive from Jingchuan. When the car entered Jingchuan, Bai Wuhen picked up the sword from the trunk and left alone.

Facing the scorching sun, his steps were slow yet swift.

A hint of worry flashed deep in Lin Mo's eyes.

After the car restarted, he casually asked the cliff, "Master, do you think Senior Bai can successfully break through to the Transcendent Realm?"

Chapter 382 Technology Tree

"Of course!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Duanya gave the answer directly.

That's what he said, but the complicated expression on his face suggested that his statement wasn't very credible.

After all, that was a realm that no one had ever set foot in before.

Don't be fooled by what Duan Ya and Bai Wuhen said to Lin Shu before, that they were very confident. In reality, it was all unreliable. Only they knew the truth.

If I had to give a probability, it would be fifty-fifty!

Either succeed and become an extraordinary powerhouse!

Either fail, or you die and your soul perishes!

Lin Mo saw the change in Duan Ya's expression and looked through the rear windshield of the car in the direction where Bai Wuhen disappeared, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.

Is one's level of understanding really that important?

He doesn't understand!

Or is it that all martial artists will be like this after they reach a certain level of cultivation?

Thinking of this, Lin Mo suddenly had an idea about the mission reward that he hadn't claimed yet.

Breathing techniques, a tech tree?

Breathing techniques, a tech tree?

Technology tree!

It's it!

"Receive the mission reward."

"Host has completed the first stage of the SSS-level main quest, the Gu Insect Project, by defeating Jiang Xiao. The reward is either a Breathing Technique or a Technology Tree. Please select your reward."

"Technology tree".

"Ding--"

"Congratulations, host, on obtaining the technology tree and the accompanying technology gift pack."

As the system notification sounded, a small sapling appeared in Lin Mo's mind. The sapling was not strong, with only three branches, each with a dazzling ball of light hanging on it.

These three orbs of light must be the so-called companion technology package, right?

Lin Mo did not immediately absorb these light orbs. Instead, he became more interested in the technology tree. He stared at the technology tree for three seconds, and a message appeared.

Tech Tree LV.1

Tech Tree Branch: 3

Technology Pack Level: 1 (As the technology tree upgrades, the technology pack will also upgrade. The higher the level of the technology pack, the more advanced the technology it contains.)

Number of unclaimed gift packs: 3

Description: This is a magical tree that produces gift bags.

When Lin Mo saw the final tech tree introduction, he managed a weak smile.

Isn't that obvious?!

After grumbling to himself, Lin Mo prepared to study the three technology gift packs on the tree. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a cliff breaking and had no choice but to open his eyes.

"Master, did you call me?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Duan Ya turned around and glanced at Lin Mo, a half-smile on his face. "Do you remember what I told you before we came to the capital?"

"what?"
