Starting with 10,000 times the experience, and you're calling me a terrible player?

"Lin Mo, don't you understand your own worth?"

The stench of burning food lingered at the edge of the swamp.

Qin Lan stood in front of Lin Mo, her icy blue eyes flashing with unprecedented fervor.

She took a step forward on her own, speaking very quickly:

"Your professional skills are average, and your talent is mediocre, but in your secondary profession, you are undoubtedly the world's number one genius!"

"Pharmacist, blacksmith, scroll engraver..."

Qin Lan stared at Lin Mo as if she were looking at a piece of unparalleled jade.

"As long as you come back to the core city with me, the alliance will pour massive resources into helping you advance your secondary profession. Your status will definitely not be lower than Su Xiaoli's!"

Lin Mo shrugged, speechless.

He raised his eyelids, glanced at the fifth-level Grand Master, and found it all quite amusing.

"Your Excellency, Special Envoy Qin."

Lin Mo straightened up, his tone becoming serious.

"You've got one thing wrong?"

"What?"

Qin Lan frowned slightly.

"I don't like standing behind others."

"Moreover, that person is Su Xiaoli."

"No man can accept his woman fighting tooth and nail in front of the camera while he stays at home enjoying peace and stability."

"I'm sorry, I can't live like that."

"But what can you do? Do you even have the ability to fight?"

Qin Lan raised her voice, her face turning ashen.

"Didn't you see how dangerous the outside world is today? Those conglomerates might do something to you!"

She abruptly stopped speaking, glanced at the corpses of the assassins scattered on the ground, and suddenly felt that her words were completely unconvincing.

Lin Mo grinned:

"In that case, you'll have to protect me closely."

"If anything happens to me, it will be a huge loss for the league!"

Qin Lan's breath hitched, and her full chest heaved violently.

She had never seen such a shameless person.

"No matter what you say, you have to come back to the core city with me today!"

"You need to understand that prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat! The Ling Group has its eyes on you!"

Even I can't guarantee I can protect you every time!

What happened today clearly gave her a great sense of crisis.

With a flick of her wrist, an icy chain materialized in her palm, clearly indicating her intention to bind her tightly.

"stop!"

Lin Mo took half a step back and held up one finger.

"Special Envoy Qin, we have a bet."

"If you win first place in the Hunting event, you'll have to revoke the Alliance's mandatory protection over me, but you still owe me one request."

"What, a dignified fifth-level expert, are you planning to break your promise?"

This statement precisely hit Qin Lan's Achilles' heel.

The chains in her palm flickered twice before finally disintegrating into icy mist.

Her dignity as a high-level professional did not allow her to go back on her word.

"Okay, very good."

Qin Lan laughed in exasperation.

"When you're getting beaten to a pulp by those high-level combat classes, don't beg me to take you away!"

"Let's wait and see."

Lin Mo shrugged.

……

Evening, Black Fang hunting camp.

The spacious square was filled with students, looking travel-worn. It was the last day of the assessment, and the air was thick with the smells of blood and sweat.

Everyone was staring at the mechanical crystal screen in mid-air. The final rankings were displayed on it.

Zhao Tai stood at the front of the crowd, his face grim.

His body was wrapped in bandages, and his left arm was in a splint.

Beside him, his four teammates were also seriously injured.

These past few days, they fought tooth and nail in the level 2 and 3 monster zones, almost getting wiped out, and barely managed to rack up over 8,000 points.

"Captain, we're currently ranked 98th, so we've secured our spot in the preliminary exam for Tianfu University."

Shield Guard King clutched his chest, his voice filled with relief at surviving a close call.

Zhao Tai snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping across the crowd:

"Where's that good-for-nothing Lin Mo? I'd like to see if he can still hide in the back when the results are tallied!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the crystal screen in the center of the hall emitted a sharp buzzing sound.

The mystery surrounding the top ten rankings has dissipated, and the final data is beginning to emerge.

10th place: 12,500 points.

Fifth place: 18,000 points.

Second place: Chu Tiankuo Team, 35,000 points.

"Hiss—Young Master Chu actually racked up 35,000 points! How many high-level monsters did he have to kill?"

A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

However, the next second, the gasps from the audience stopped abruptly, like a tattered cloth being cleaved by a knife.

Golden light flashed wildly in the first place position.

Name: Lin Mo (single)

Points: 999999999...

The entire square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone held their breath.

This isn't just cheating, this is blatant data manipulation!!!

On the observation platform on the second floor, the battalion commander suddenly plucked out a tuft of his beard.

He stared wide-eyed at Qin Lan beside him, looking utterly helpless.

Qin Lan stood in front of the fence with a blank expression.

She wasn't surprised at all.

"This is impossible!!!"

Zhao Tai pointed at the crystal screen, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, and roared at the top of his lungs:

"I want to report this!!"

"I must report this!!!"

"Camp staff were bribed to alter the participants' scores!!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd, and almost everyone looked at them with suspicion.

The last time it was 15, but this time it's really too much!

They couldn't even bear to act it out, so they changed it directly to 999999...

Lin Mo slowly squeezed out from the back of the crowd.

Not only was there not a single scratch on his body, but his clothes were also spotless and even had a faint sweet, fishy smell.

"Squad Leader Zhao, why are you so angry? I'm a diligent person, I just practiced a little longer."

Lin Mo stood opposite Zhao Tai, speaking casually.

Zhao Tai stared intently at Lin Mo's irritating face, his jealousy and humiliation finally erupting.

What gives him the right?

What makes him so special that he could win the favor of a mythical genius?

Why would the camp help you cheat?

Why is it that in this damn world, a good-for-nothing like him can live a more carefree life than someone with such a rare profession as myself?

"Lin Mo, stop playing tricks!"

Zhao Tai suddenly drew his longsword from his waist, arcs of electricity crackling across its blade.

"Article Seven of the Hunting Code states that those whose top ranking is questionable have the right to launch a real-world challenge!"

He turned to look at Zhang Tianzhen and Qin Lan on the second floor:

"Sir! I disagree with his results! I request a challenge! If he loses, it proves his results are all fabricated!"

The square fell silent again. Everyone looked up at the second floor.

Zhang Tianzhen frowned, about to reprimand her, but Qin Lan raised her hand to stop him.

"Can."

Qin Lan's clear, cool voice echoed throughout the venue.

She stared at Lin Mo below.

Since you're unwilling to come with me, why should I help you avoid trouble?

Lin Mo raised his head, met Qin Lan's gaze, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

He turned around and looked at Zhao Tai and his four teammates.

Within sight, the pale gold data panel floated quietly.

[Talent: Parry (Level 7090)]

[Skill: Parry (Level 300)]

[Skill: Berserk (Level 420)]

Over 70,000 points of parrying...

This is what he accomplished yesterday.

However, those magic needle bees have limited stamina and were quickly exhausted to death; otherwise, they could have easily reached 1!

With the 420-level berserk buff, his strength reached an absurd 1402.

Under such madness, his ultimate power reached a terrifying 4206!

Lin Mo sighed.

This isn't just an adult hitting a child; it's like Transformers crushing a chick.

"All five of you, come at me together. I'm in a hurry to go back and take a shower."

Lin Mo didn't even pull out the long boar tusk knife from his waist; he just stood there loosely.

"You're asking for it!"

Zhao Tai's eyes were bloodshot; it was an extreme humiliation of being looked down upon.

"Formation deployed!"

He shouted loudly.
