Devouring the starry sky, the clone evolves into a primordial behemoth.

Chapter 15 Frenzied Shopping

Just as everyone was enjoying their drinks, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the restaurant, and everyone quickly got up to see what was happening.

Several military off-road vehicles roared to a stop outside the restaurant lobby, and soldiers in special operations uniforms stood in two rows at the entrance, with only a black extended sedan in the middle.

The various managers and restaurant owners upstairs rushed down to the door to greet them, bowing so low they were almost touching the ground. No one had ever seen them so humble before. Even the rarely seen restaurant owner appeared downstairs and personally went to open the car door.

"What a grand display!"

All the guests in the restaurant were shocked by this scene; they had never seen anything like it before.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the car doors opened, and two equally tall young men got out of the car from either side.

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, what do you think of this restaurant? It's my own business, worth a few billion." Song Yanchen laughed and put his arm around Chen Mo's shoulder.

"Awesome." Chen Mo didn't know what adjective to use, and after searching his mind for a long time, he could only find these two words.

To be honest, those two words pleased Young Master Song greatly. After a hearty laugh, he turned to the restaurant manager and said:

"Don't just stand there, quickly bring out all your best signature dishes and the finest wines. Today I'm going to treat my future brother-in-law to a good meal."

"Alright, Young Master Song, please wait upstairs for a moment!"

The person in charge quickly agreed and then led the others to prepare the food and drinks. It was just that Young Master Song was always so impulsive and hadn't told them in advance.

At this moment, Yan Zhen and the others were also watching this scene from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby on the first floor.

"That person looks familiar, doesn't he/she resemble a classmate from before?"

"Chen Mo! That's the Chen Mo I was just talking about! We were deskmates for three years, I know him very well."

"It's him? How is that possible! You must be mistaken!"

"How could Chen Mo have changed so much, and it seems he's even involved with the Song family now?"

"Didn't you hear that young master Song called him brother-in-law? Maybe he's hooked up with one of the fat and ugly young ladies of the Song family."

"That's not impossible."

The group joked and laughed among themselves, pointing at Chen Mo outside with disdain on their faces.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, an angry shout came from the side.

"What?" Everyone turned around in astonishment, looking at Yan Zhen's angry face. They had never seen the usually elegant Yan Zhen with such an expression.

"I said, shut up if you don't want to die!" Yan Zhen's face remained stern. The scene he had seen in the school's live broadcast flashed through his mind. He hadn't been sure before, but now he was.

"Yan Zhen, what do you mean?" The group of people were all embarrassed by Yan Zhen's reprimand, and one of the girls questioned him sharply.

"What do you mean?" Yan Zhen sneered. "You're slandering a martial artist behind his back, and a nineteen-year-old high-level warrior at that. What else is that but courting death? If you want to die, don't drag me into it. He can make you all regret it with a flick of his finger."

After saying that, he turned and left without looking back, never recognizing that group of people again.

……

The following day, under Song Yanchen's arrangement, Chen Mo's parents hosted a banquet for relatives and friends at a high-end hotel in Luoyang. After dinner in the afternoon, amidst the envious gazes of everyone, they boarded a large helicopter again and flew to the main city of Beijing.

Chen Mo's family moved into a three-story detached villa in the military compound, covering an area of ​​more than 700 square meters. The villa was fully furnished with all kinds of furniture and appliances. Song Yanchen even arranged a private doctor, a private chef, and two high-end housekeepers for them.

Chen Mo could only keep his gratitude in his heart. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Everything he had now came from his own value. If he didn't want to lose it all one day, he had to maintain and even increase that value.

So on the very night he moved into the villa, he began preparing to head to the wilderness.

In the study on the third floor of the villa, Chen Mo turned on the 3D projector, entered an encrypted address, and entered a special interface.

Huaxia Mall!

This is the martial arts network within the Chinese military. Any martial artist in China can log in. After verifying his identity, an interface appears in front of him.

Name: Chen Mo

Sex: Male

Address: Kyoto Base City, Huaxia Kingdom

Martial Arts Certificate Number: 426123205603050001

Rank: Warrior (Beginner)

Contribution value: 0 points

Currency balance: 50000000 Huaxia Coins

As expected, Chen Mo has now become a formal martial artist. Wherever he goes, his identity as a resident is marked as a martial artist, making him an undisputed elite in this era.

After a brief moment of excitement, Chen Mo's attention fell on the flashing email icon in the upper right corner. After clicking to open it, one of the emails came from the assistant of Song Tianying, the leader of the Fourth Military Region, informing him that the 500 million cultivation resources had arrived in his account.

He can choose up to 500 million 'guiding techniques, movement techniques, and combat methods', within which he will not need to spend any money.

The three secret manuals of movement techniques, attack techniques, and guiding techniques are the most important for martial artists. Guiding techniques determine the improvement of a martial artist's strength, while movement techniques and attack techniques determine a martial artist's combat ability.

Therefore, any martial artist will first and foremost devote their resources to these three aspects.

Other emails introduced some of the features of Huaxia Mall, such as the forum, which Chen Mo also read through one by one.

After closing the email, Chen Mo immediately opened the skill book store, and the first things that caught his eye were the legendary "World Destroyer" spear technique and the "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" sword technique.

"Just as the original story says, both of these ultimate manuals are ridiculously expensive, with a full price of 1000 billion Chinese yuan!" Chen Mo clicked his tongue and shook his head as he looked at the prices of the two manuals on the screen.

Without much hesitation, he directly opened the purchase page for "Ninefold Thunder Blade".

"Ninefold Thunder Blade" (all nine levels) - Price: 1000 billion Huaxia Coins (full price), 500 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points)

The first eight levels of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" cost 500 billion Huaxia Coins (full price) or 250 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: four-star contribution points).

……

The first five levels of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" cost 20 billion Huaxia Coins (full price) or 10 billion Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: three-star contribution points).

The first four levels of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" cost 5 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 2.5 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).

The first three levels of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" cost 2 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 1 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).

The first two levels of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" cost 1 million Huaxia Coins (full price) and 5 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: two-star contribution points).

The first level of "Ninefold Thunder Blade" costs 5000 million Huaxia Coins (full price) or 2500 million Huaxia Coins (half price, requirement: one-star contribution points).

The pricing is the same as that of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, and even the contribution value requirement is almost the same. After all, this is one of the few secret manuals that are sold globally, so the price is naturally uniform.

All of this money will end up in Thor's pocket; China is essentially just acting as a consignment agent.

"Luckily, the first time I buy a manual, I can enjoy a 50% discount without needing contribution points. Otherwise, I would have lost all 500 million to buy the first four levels of the manual." Chen Mo sighed as he clicked the screen.

"Please confirm whether you wish to purchase the first four levels of the 'Ninefold Thunder Blade,' which requires a payment of 2.5 million Chinese Yuan!" A prompt appeared on the large screen.

After Chen Mo confirmed, the payment was successfully deducted, and he still had 2.5 million yuan left in his resource quota.

He didn't plan to use the 2.5 million now, because he didn't need to buy any other secret manuals. The "Ninefold Thunder Blade" already contained the movement technique "Flowing Light" and the guiding technique "Ninefold Chaos Origin".

"Keep this 2.5 million, and buy the next secret manual when you've saved enough money."

Purchase of the skill manual successful. Next step... purchase weapons, combat uniforms, etc.

"Now I'll have to spend my own money. Why does my heart feel a little sore?" Chen Mo opened the weapon list page and quickly found the 'Swordless Heavy Sword Series 3'.

After much deliberation, Chen Mo reluctantly purchased the Bladeless Heavy Sword Series 3, A6 model, for 1000 million Chinese Yuan!

Model A6 corresponds to the Advanced Beast General level in the monster ranking system, meaning it can fight against most "Advanced Beast General" monsters without worrying about its weapon breaking.

Although Chen Mo is currently only a high-level warrior, given his rate of growth, low-level weapons will soon become obsolete, so it's better to just buy a better one.

Besides weapons, the most important thing is combat uniforms. After all, a good combat uniform can often save lives in critical moments. Chen Mo didn't dare to skimp on this aspect and directly bought a D5 series uniform, which can withstand the attack of a mid-level beast general and is worth 900 million Chinese yuan!

Of course, a mid-level beast general cannot break through the D5 series combat suit, but if the wearer is too weak, the impact alone can be fatal.

After the weapons and combat uniforms were sorted out, it was time for smaller items like communication arms and backpacks. These were relatively inexpensive, costing only a few hundred thousand in total.

Finally, there's the throwing knife, which is the most important thing to Chen Mo.

As a mentalist, and a mid-level warrior-level mentalist at that, having a good set of throwing knives would definitely unleash extremely terrifying power, so throwing knives are definitely not something to be spared.

After comparing several options, Chen Mo chose six Series 7 throwing knives, totaling 9 million yuan!

If one is strong enough, a 7-type throwing knife can definitely damage a low-level lord-level monster.

Lord-level monsters are so powerful that even missiles can't kill them! A throwing knife can pierce through them, which shows how high the material requirements are for the throwing knife itself!

Although Chen Mo is not yet able to control all six throwing knives at full power, it's always good to be prepared and have a few extra.

In the end, Chen Mo spent 180 million to buy a super-large civilian armored vehicle. The space inside was so big that it could be used as a restaurant. This vehicle could not only be driven around to show off, but it could also be used to take a few laps around the outskirts of the wilderness. Low-level monsters could not even break through the vehicle's defenses.

Most importantly, this vehicle is just the right size to accommodate the 15-meter-long, 800-pound giant python clone.

After all the purchases were completed, costing nearly 2000 million yuan, Chen Mo felt his heart was bleeding.

The next day, all the equipment and vehicles were delivered. After getting familiar with them, Chen Mo made an excuse to leave for a few days, bid farewell to his parents, and embarked on his first trip to the wilderness.

This time, he only planned to go to the outskirts of the wilderness area, where there would be no danger. His main purpose was to send his clone out.

Now, its clones consume two high-level beast soldiers in one meal, and its growth rate is quite alarming; it has no choice but to send them away.
