“Xiao Xue!”
Xia Dongyang’s voice brought Xia Xue back to reality.
“Dad, why are you here?” Xia Xue walked in front of Xia Dongyang, calling him sweetly.
At this moment, Xia Xue had no trace of her usual arrogance.
Xia Dongyang’s eyes held a touch of affection, “Let’s go, we’ll go back.”
Xia Dongyang had driven here, so they didn’t need to go back on the school bus.
Xia Xue followed Xia Dongyang into the car, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Mo Yu.
She really wanted to see through Lin Mo Yu, to know how he reached level 7.
Xia Dongyang noticed his daughter’s gaze, “Are you competing with Lin Mo Yu?”
Xia Xue deflated like a punctured balloon, “Yeah, I lost again, this guy is so annoying.”
Xia Dongyang laughed heartily, “Want your old man to take care of him…?”
“No!”
Before Xia Dongyang could finish, Xia Xue decisively refused.
“My own business, I’ll solve it myself. I won’t keep losing to this fool.”
Xia Xue snorted, her eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
Xia Dongyang laughed even harder, “Alright, then your old man won’t interfere. But I need to tell you, Lin Mo Yu came out at the 10-hour mark, and he killed all the level 8 monsters in the newbie dungeon.”
Xia Xue was stunned again…
Killed all the level 8 monsters…
She thought of herself, just reaching the level 7 monster area, not even knowing what level 8 monsters looked like.
She thought she was incredibly strong, being able to solo level 7 monsters at level 5.
But Lin Mo Yu had actually killed all the level 8 monsters and came out two hours earlier.
That meant, if there were more level 8 monsters, maybe he could have directly leveled up to level 8.
“Is the gap between us this big?” Even though Xia Xue refused to lose, she felt a bit discouraged now.
Xia Dongyang said, “Each profession has its own specialty, some are strong at low levels, some become powerful later. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't mean much. Compared to him, you have an advantage.”
Xia Xue understood what Xia Dongyang meant.
Her advantage was her family wealth, plenty of money, and abundant resources.
Whether it was items, equipment, skills, or anything else, she didn’t lack anything.
But someone like Lin Mo Yu, who had no money or connections, would be short of money, equipment, skills, and items later.
“Anyway, I won’t give up. Even if you’re ahead now, I’ll surpass you someday.”
Xia Xue was only downcast for two minutes before her fighting spirit reignited.
Xia Dongyang was satisfied, this was the kind of spirit his daughter should have.
On the school bus, Gao Yang deliberately sat next to Xia Dongyang, “I’m level 4 now, amazing right? Leveling up with the girls, it’s so fun, way more interesting than soloing like you.”
Lin Mo Yu looked at this goofy guy, wondering where he couldn't be happy.
“Whoa, I didn't notice, you're already level 7, how did you do it?”
“Did you clear out all the monsters in the dungeon?”
“I’m struggling just to reach level 4, how did you get to level 7? Are you a god?”
Gao Yang’s voice was particularly loud, the whole bus could hear him.
Only then did everyone notice that Lin Mo Yu had truly reached level 7.
When everyone else was around level 3, level 4 being considered very impressive, Lin Mo Yu had already reached level 7.
The bus suddenly became lively.
Although many were still afraid of Lin Mo Yu, scared of the Skeleton Warriors he summoned.
But it’s also a normal human instinct to want to be close to someone strong.
Some wanted to talk to Lin Mo Yu, connect as classmates.
But Lin Mo Yu’s silence and the fearsome Skeleton Warriors made them hesitate.
“Quiet!”
Lu Yun gave a low shout, and the noisy bus instantly fell silent.
Gao Yang scratched his head, “I was too excited just now, Boss, can you bring me to level up?”
Lin Mo Yu said, “If I have the chance, I will.”
Gao Yang was immediately overjoyed, “That’s settled then.”
The next morning, Gao Yang couldn’t find Lin Mo Yu anywhere at the school gate.
“Teacher Lu, where’s Lin Mo Yu?”
Lu Yun said, “He’s gone to the West Sea City suburbs.”
Ah?
Only then did Gao Yang realize he had been tricked by Lin Mo Yu. No wonder he had agreed so readily yesterday.
He couldn’t help but let out a scream, “Lin Mo Yu, you tricked me!”
“I thought I was a shining star, but alas, I’m just shining on a ditch. I’m not finished with you, I’ll duel you!”
Lin Mo Yu was already on his way to the southern part of West Sea City.
The towering city wall stood here, separating the human living area from the monster area.
Leaving the city wall meant entering the wild monster area, where the weakest monsters were level 10.
Compared to the monsters in the newbie dungeon, the monsters here were much stronger.
Similarly, fighting monsters here would grant more experience and various materials.
With good luck, some monsters would even drop weapons and equipment.
These things could be used by yourself or sold for money.
On both sides of the street at the city wall entrance were many shops.
Blacksmiths, weapons shops, jewelry shops, armor shops, and so on.
The most important was the Shen Xia Empire Exchange.
The Exchange was established by the Shen Xia Empire, found in all cities, large and small, across the country.
In the Exchange, you could freely buy and sell equipment, materials, and all kinds of items.
You could directly sell things to the Exchange or consign them.
Besides trading equipment, the Exchange handled various quests.
This was Lin Mo Yu’s first time at the Exchange, he had only read about it before.
Inside the Shen Xia Empire Exchange, there were hundreds of half-human-sized stone pillars.
A magic crystal was embedded on top of each stone pillar, and all the Exchange’s functions could be accessed through this crystal.
The Exchange was also known as the highest manifestation of the art of divine alchemy.
Lin Mo Yu found an empty space and placed his hand on the magic crystal.
