9: Chapter 9 Special Focus

“I actually didn't kill him in one hit.”

Chen Mo frowned as he looked at the Death Knight, who was preparing to swing its second sword, and shook his head slightly.

Sure enough, the next second, that fellow who had already been scared out of his wits disappeared from the arena; he had clearly surrendered and fled.

“It would be better if my comprehension of the law was a bit higher.”

Sighing, Chen Mo waved his hand, and the Death Knight constructed from the Tier 0 Divine Art instantly turned into a wisp of ghost fire and vanished.

At the same time, a small figure also flew over happily from the edge of the arena.

“Master, you're amazing! That guy who was bickering with me ran away without saying a single word.”

Yu Mo looked at Chen Mo with joy, her eyes filled with admiration.

“It's just that the opponent was too weak.”

Chen Mo smiled, not paying much attention to the little one's praise.

“It's that you're too strong!” Yu Mo pouted and retorted.

“Whatever you say!” Chen Mo affectionately tapped Yu Mo's small head, and she took the opportunity to climb onto his shoulder, asking expectantly, “Master, are you going to fight again?”

“No more for now. I was just practicing and testing two Tier 0 Divine Arts I just learned. We'll talk about it tomorrow.”

“Ah!” Yu Mo looked at Chen Mo in disappointment, her ink-colored wings drooping at that moment.

...

“Attention, Administrator 56. The intelligent system reports that law fluctuations have been detected in the ranking match, and the target's age meets the criteria.”

“What age, what type, and what is the comprehension level?”

“17 years old, Superior Law [Death], comprehension level 1.39%.”

“Oh!”

In a region of the Virtual Universe covered by massive data streams, a disheveled man lifted his head with interest.

He was an Administrator of the Virtual Universe, or rather, a programmer.

His task was to maintain this vast universe and collect intelligence for a certain area.

Of course, he didn't do this originally; when he was still alive, he was also a true god powerhouse of the Mechanical God System.

Yes, he was already dead.

Except for the great Supreme Being, the Virtual Universe does not allow any living person to participate in its operation; this is an iron rule.

As for why it can still exist today, it is actually related to the special nature of the Virtual Universe itself; after all, this was once the Divine Kingdom of a Supreme Being.

“17 years old, and he just condensed his Divine Domain. Not bad! He's a comprehension-type genius.”

Browsing through Chen Mo's detailed profile, Administrator 56's eyes lit up.

For Administrators like them, everything in the real world is no longer that important, but they also have missions given by the Federation and the lords of the Machine Kingdom.

And a very important part of these missions is to help the Federation discover talent and recommend them to suitable people.

Yes, the Virtual Universe does not directly participate in talent cultivation; they only find suitable people for those who are suitable.

Thinking of this, Administrator 56 immediately pulled out a list, which clearly recorded the well-known factions in the Main World.

There were consortiums, the military, and even some ancient, long-standing noble families included.

But after hesitating for a long time, Administrator 56 put down the list.

“Let's wait a bit longer.” Administrator 56 shook his head, put away the list, and set a special notification for Chen Mo's account through the system.

Over the years, he has done similar things countless times, and he knows better than anyone else what circumstances are most beneficial for these 'geniuses'.

Although Chen Mo barely meets the recruitment standards set by those major factions, it is only barely meeting them.

“I hope you can bring me more surprises.”

Administrator 56 took one last look at Chen Mo's account and then threw himself into his next task.

...

It was already very late when he returned to reality from the Virtual Universe.

But before Chen Mo could sit up from the bed, Yu Mo's figure popped out from his virtual watch again.

“Master, you just had three missed calls, all from a guy named Bai Yuanyu.”

After getting Yu Mo as his intelligent assistant, he decisively abandoned the previous electrically-driven smart watch.

And Yu Mo was very dutifully fulfilling her role as an intelligent housekeeper.

“Bai Yuanyu, why is this guy contacting me so late?”

When he went to school in the morning, Chen Mo had specifically gone to the class and the Divine Domain connection room to find Bai Yuanyu, but he couldn't find him.

However, he didn't think it was unusual; there are plenty of third-year Students who skip class.

Especially the bottom-ranked Students in the Divine Path Class; they either give up on themselves or study hard at home, trying their best to condense their Divine Domain before the College Entrance Examination.

That way, even if they can't get into a normal High Academy, they can still get into some lower-tier schools, which is the spring enrollment vocational school that Chen Xueli mentioned before.

Chen Mo knew Bai Yuanyu's personality better than his own father; although he seemed unserious on the surface, he was actually quite a competitive person. If he didn't come to school, he must be burying himself in hard study at home.

“Hey, is something up? Let's get this straight: don't say any congratulations. Late congratulations are boring to hear.”

As early as the first time he came out of the Divine Domain, he had sent news of his promotion to Bai Yuanyu, but he hadn't received any reply from him until he went to school in the morning.

“I... I... I...”

Listening to him stutter “I” for a long time without saying a word, Chen Mo frowned.

Could something have happened at home?

That shouldn't be the case. Although Bai Yuanyu didn't come from a divine family, his parents were both honest and reliable spell-casting demigods.

In the Main World, a place where even main gods dare not act recklessly, what could possibly happen?

But just as Chen Mo was organizing his words to ask, the person on the other end suddenly burst into wild laughter: “Chen Mo, I've promoted! Did you hear me? I've condensed my Divine Domain!”

Chen Mo: “...”

“Why aren't you saying anything! I've broken through! Now we can both train nun legions in our Divine Domains. Hey, hey, hey, say something!”

“Go to hell!”

Chen Mo decisively cut the communication, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

...

The next day, Chen Mo arrived early at the largest supernatural business district in Lanshi City.

Bai Yuanyu was already waiting there earlier; seeing Chen Mo, he waved his hands excitedly.

“Over here, over here, go through this way.”

Bai Yuanyu pointed to the billboard not far away that read ‘Blue Cave Technology’, his eyes filled with anticipation.

“I'm coming!”

Chen Mo walked unhurriedly to Bai Yuanyu, glanced at the storage bracelet on his hand, and teased, “Did you bring enough money? Neither the Initial Familiar Card nor the Basic Resource Card is cheap.”

“Don't worry, it's enough!” Bai Yuanyu patted the storage bracelet on his wrist, his expression very bold.

As for why one would still use a storage bracelet when they possess a Divine Domain, there are actually two reasons.

One is out of habit, and the second is that the time flow in the Void Realm is too fast.

Many things are not suitable for being kept in the Divine Domain for a long time; after all, one of the most powerful forces in this world is time.

Of course, the Divine Domain, or the Void Realm, is also the most harmless landfill.

Some Divine Path practitioners who really can't find work after graduation, as well as some who missed the College Entrance Examination, will go to work for the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. I heard the benefits are quite good.

“Then let's go.”

Chen Mo nodded, and then he and Bai Yuanyu walked into this technology company that had opened all over the Main World and even the major colonial planes of the Federation—no... it should be a technology consortium.
