One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

That night, the guest room area on the back of Longhu Mountain was brightly lit.

The private guest rooms at Lu Family Villa were bustling with activity.

Besides Bai Shixue, Zhi Jinhua, Canglong, and others who had been following Lin Mo and Lu Linglong throughout the day, all other members of the Lu family troupe were also present.

Yun, who wears a half-face mask; Ling, who has long hair; Wang Ergou, who has red hair and a buzz cut; and Xiao Xiao, who is gentle and refined.

A dozen or so young, skilled individuals sat together, snacks and drinks in hand, chatting excitedly about the preliminary rounds of the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony that day.

As expected, thanks to the Lu family's strength and resources, everyone present easily passed the preliminary round and advanced to the next round.

After discussing their respective matches, everyone's gaze fell on Lin Mo, who was sitting in the main seat of the sofa, leisurely munching on potato chips.

"Ahem." Lu Linglong cleared her throat, took out her phone first, skillfully opened WeChat, and brought up Lin Mo's chat box. "Lin Mo, as we agreed before the competition, you'll contribute your skills as equity, and I'll give you 30% of the winnings."

With a crisp "ding", a transfer of 7000 yuan was sent directly.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the delightful notification sound.

He quickly put down the potato chips in his hand, picked up his phone, clicked to receive payment, and grinned broadly: "Thank you, boss, you're so generous."

Sitting next to Lin Mo, Zhi Jinhua pushed up her black-rimmed glasses and, looking at Lin Mo's appearance, couldn't help but complain:

"You usually seem like a very mysterious person, but your eyes light up when you see money. You're even more greedy than Xiaobai."

As she spoke, Zhi Jinhua picked up her phone, tapped the screen a few times, and promptly transferred 6000 yuan to Lin Mo.

"What Hua'er said makes sense, but when it comes to making money, I really have to admire Brother Lin."

Bai Shixue came closer, a smug smile on her face.

She directly opened the large transfer interface and entered a string of numbers without hesitation.

"Ding!"

Lin Mo glanced down at the screen, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and exclaimed, "Fifty thousand? Miss Bai, you really went all out this time! You must have made a fortune!"

Bai Shixue chuckled, crossed her arms, and analyzed with a shrewd expression:

"That's for sure. When the preliminary rounds were first drawn, nobody knew who had the best cards, and since you were a complete newcomer with no reputation, the odds offered to you by the outside bookmakers were ridiculously high."

"I know how capable you are, Brother Lin. This was a chance to make money for free! I bet everything I had, and sure enough, I made a fortune."

A sly glint flashed in Bai Shixue's eyes. "Once Brother Lin's strength is gradually revealed, everyone will know that you are a master, and then the odds will plummet."

Lin Mo gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "You have a great business sense. I need to learn from you."

"Oh dear, I was so busy giving you guys technical guidance that I completely forgot to use my own base salary to place bets. I'm losing a lot of money."

Xiao Xiao smiled gently, saying while operating his phone, "Brother Lin, you can't forget, there's another chance tomorrow. Here, this is mine."

As he spoke, a transfer of 8000 yuan was sent over.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Ergou, hope, and the masked man Yun and Ling also took out their phones and transferred between 5000 and 10,000 yuan to Lin Mo as a share.

With the continuous payment notifications on his phone, Lin Mo made a fortune from this wave of payments.

A rough calculation showed that in just half an evening, his account had received an extra tens of thousands of yuan, making him extremely happy.

Canglong stepped forward, his chubby face plastered with a fawning smile.

He generously transferred 15000 yuan to Lin Mo, then rubbed his hands together and suggested, "Brother Lin, try to act a little more reluctant tomorrow, so your odds won't drop so quickly."

Lin Mo snapped his fingers readily and patted his chest, assuring her, "No problem, leave it to me. I'm serious about making money."

Just as everyone was enthusiastically planning their "money-making scheme" for tomorrow, the door to the guest room was pushed open.

Lu Jin walked in wearing a loose-fitting robe, his hands behind his back.

Seeing the group of children huddled in a circle, he asked with a smile, "What are you all doing?"

Upon seeing that it was Lu Jin, one of the Ten Elders, everyone put away their joking expressions and respectfully stood up to greet him.

Lu Linglong skipped over to Lu Jin, took his arm, and said with a grin, "Grandpa, we're transferring money to Lin Mo to divide the spoils!"

Lin Mo was happily looking at his account balance when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand to correct him:

"Get out of here! What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'dividing the spoils'? We call this 'sharing the profits'."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin raised his graying eyebrows in confusion: "Oh, dividing the spoils? What's going on?"

He wasn't worried about Lu Linglong and the kids in the Lu family troupe doing anything outrageous outside.

After all, the Lu family raised their descendants with very strict discipline, unlike the Wang family kids who were so unruly.

Lu Linglong then told Lu Jin in detail how everyone pooled their resources to bet on Lin Mo to win money on the sidelines, and how they distributed 30% of the profits to Lin Mo as agreed.

After hearing this, Lu Jin was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and burst into laughter.

"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, you really are a complete money-grubber!" Lu Jin pointed at Lin Mo and shook his head helplessly. "You even want to make this money."

Lin Mo put his phone back in his pocket and replied matter-of-factly, "This is normal business."

Lu Jin was speechless at his twisted logic and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, I came to see you and just wanted to let you know."

Lu Jin's expression softened slightly, and his tone became somewhat serious.

"It seems that old man from the Wang family has a problem with you and is keeping an eye on you because of what happened at the cliff edge today."

"You better watch out, kid. Tell me if you run into any problems."

Lu Jin snorted coldly, exuding domineering arrogance, and said, "If he dares to touch you, I'll slap him away!"

Lin Mo sensed the protectiveness in Lu Jin's words, and his heart warmed slightly.

But on the surface, he still maintained that relaxed and casual demeanor, even with a hint of greedy cunning.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu."

Lin Mo slowly poured himself a glass of water. "If he dares to touch me, I can bankrupt his whole family."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was taken aback at first, and then burst into laughter again.

"Hey, I didn't know you were good at fighting, but you're also capable of this? Alright, just be careful."

Just then, a crisp knock came from the half-open door.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Feng Shayan, dressed in a fitted sportswear outfit, push open the door and walk in.

When Lu Jin saw who it was, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "What's going on today? This house is so lively, even the little girl from the Feng family is here."

When Feng Shayan saw Lu Jin standing in the center of the room, her expression immediately became respectful, and she greeted him politely, "Hello, Elder Lu."

Lu Jin waved his hand with a smile: "No need to be so polite. I heard from Linglong that you took good care of them when we were in Tianjin."

Feng Shayan responded with a polite smile, "Mr. Lu, you flatter me. It's only right to entertain friends."

Lu Jin nodded, glanced at the group of energetic young people in the room, and tactfully said, "Alright, then I won't bother you any longer."

After saying that, Lu Jin put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely out of the guest room.

After Lu Jin left, Feng Shayan turned to look at Lin Mo, who was sitting on the sofa.

A beautiful smile curved her lips as she strode over.

"Lin Mo, I'm here to share the money with you." Feng Shayan waved her phone and said with a smile.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he instantly switched to the highest level of business mode. He quickly stood up and said warmly, "Welcome, welcome, Miss Feng."

Seeing Lin Mo's exaggeratedly greedy appearance, the young people in the room couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Next, the young people sat together and began to chat animatedly.

Such a grand event, which brings together the young generation of extraordinary individuals from all over the world, is a rare occurrence, happening only once every few years.

When everyone gets together, there are endless topics to talk about.

The atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful, and it wasn't until late at night that everyone reluctantly dispersed.

After giving Lu Linglong his security instructions, Lin Mo returned to his room.

After washing up, Lin Mo lay on the comfortable bed and brought up the system panel.

Seeing that the two years of pure internal energy rewarded by the system had been perfectly integrated after he checked in on time this afternoon, and his total power had steadily reached an astonishing 185 years, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Mo's lips.

With this absolute guarantee of military strength, coupled with the generous bonus he had just received today, Lin Mo felt extremely comfortable.

He pulled the blanket over himself, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

However, on this night in Longhu Mountain, as the saying goes, one family is happy while another is sad.

Meanwhile, in another ordinary guest room not far from the Lu family villa, Zhang Chulan was not so happy.

The thought of the bizarre schedule ahead and the ferocious opponents made Zhang Chulan so worried that he almost shaved his head bald.
