100: Chapter 100 The Name of Lin Mo
Awakener Association headquarters.
The President stared at the screen, his expression grave.
"This Lin Mo, his potential far exceeds our imagination."
The person beside him asked, "President, are our conditions too conservative?"
The President was silent for a few seconds.
"Notify the Zheng family, tell them to raise the conditions even further, and also—"
He looked out the window.
"Remind the Zheng family to send someone to contact Li Chengxi first; this child is the key to competing for Lin Mo!"
...
12:00 PM.
Lin Mo sat at the doorway of his home in Laoshu Alley, looking at his phone.
On the screen was his own face.
Comments were scrolling by one after another, so fast it was impossible to see them clearly.
"Lin Mo! You are my god!"
"From today on, I am your hardcore fan!"
"Hubby!"
"Calm down upstairs, he's only nineteen."
"So what if he's nineteen? Nineteen is exactly the age for dating!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Lin Mo: "..."
He silently turned off his phone.
Li Chengxi was laughing so hard beside him that he couldn't straighten up.
"Hahaha, Lin Mo, you're a national idol now! Looking at this momentum, by tomorrow there will be girls hugging flowers coming to block your door!"
Lin Mo looked at him.
"Are you very free?"
Li Chengxi put away his smile.
"Not free, but watching you get frustrated is very interesting."
Lin Xi walked out from the house, carrying a bowl of hot soup.
"Momo, drink some soup."
Lin Mo took the bowl and lowered his head to drink the soup.
Lin Xi sat down beside him, looking at his phone screen.
"What are those people saying?"
Lin Mo looked up.
"Nothing."
Li Chengxi leaned over.
"Sis, they are saying that you are Lin Mo's girlfriend."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment.
Then she smiled.
"That won't do, I am his sister!"
Li Chengxi laughed even louder.
"Sis, if those girls heard you say that, they would be furious."
Lin Xi also smiled.
"Let them be furious, anyway, Momo has to listen to me."
Lin Mo finished the soup and handed the bowl to her.
"Sis, I need to go out for a bit later."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Mm, go busy yourself with your matters, you don't need to worry about your sister."
She paused, reached out to straighten Lin Mo's collar, and buttoned the incorrectly fastened button properly.
"Wear your clothes neatly, you're a celebrity now."
Lin Mo looked down at his own tattered combat uniform and was silent for a second.
"My clothes... they don't seem like they can be neat."
Lin Xi glared at him.
"Then change into another one."
"I don't have any."
Lin Xi: "..."
She sighed, turned around to enter the house, and rummaged out an old jacket that had been washed until it was faded.
"Dad left this behind, just make do with it."
Lin Mo took the jacket and put it on.
It was a bit tight, and the sleeves were a bit short.
"Let's go."
He looked at Li Chengxi.
Li Chengxi was still laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing."
Li Chengxi put away his smile, "Just feel that your sister is really good to you."
Lin Mo did not speak.
The two walked out side by side.
When they walked out of the alley, Li Chengxi suddenly asked, "Do you know where we are going?"
Lin Mo glanced at him.
"Didn't you say we're going to the command room?"
Li Chengxi nodded.
"Right, to the command room. Liu Jianguo said envoys from the five major powers might arrive this afternoon. You know what they are coming here for, right!"
Lin Mo's footsteps paused for a moment.
"Coming for me? Doesn't need to be this fast, right?"
Li Chengxi laughed.
"Fast? You don't know how hot you are right now!"
"That video of yours already has over 3 billion views, the whole country is discussing you. If those big powers are one step slower, they won't even get a sip of hot soup."
Lin Mo did not speak.
He just continued to walk forward.
Li Chengxi followed him.
"Lin Mo, when you see those people later, what do you plan to do?"
Lin Mo thought for a moment.
"Take a look first."
"Take a look?"
"See what they can offer."
"Fine, as long as you have a plan. Anyway, don't be in a rush to agree to any one of them, whet their appetites first!"
Li Chengxi felt some emotion.
Originally, he had always wanted to recruit Lin Mo, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Lin Mo had already become a legendary genius famous throughout the world.
In terms of status, he was far above someone like him, a marginal figure of the Zheng family; where would he still have the qualifications to talk about recruiting Lin Mo.
...
The two crossed street after street.
Jiangcheng had already begun post-disaster reconstruction.
Everywhere there were busy crowds.
Some were clearing ruins, some were transporting supplies, some were repairing damaged houses.
When they saw Lin Mo, everyone stopped their work.
"Lin Mo!"
"It's Lin Mo!"
"Lin Mo is here!"
The crowd swarmed up, so enthusiastic that it was overwhelming.
An old man grabbed Lin Mo's hand, so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Young man! You are that Lin Mo who walked the Giant Ape, right! I watched that video of yours! Good heavens! It was just like walking a dog!"
Lin Mo: "..."
Li Chengxi was laughing so hard beside him that he couldn't straighten up.
An auntie squeezed over, holding a freshly steamed bun in her hand.
"Lin Mo, are you hungry? Eat a bun, I made it myself!"
Another middle-aged man was even more exaggerated, directly bringing over a chicken he raised at home.
"Lin Mo, take this chicken! Nourish your body!"
Lin Mo looked at the flapping chicken, the expression on his face was very colorful.
"No need, right."
"Take it!"
"Really, no need."
"Are you looking down on me?"
Lin Mo: "..."
Li Chengxi finally couldn't help it and stepped forward to help him out.
"Everyone, everyone, the beast tide crisis has not been completely resolved yet, and Lin Mo still has official business; he needs to go to the command room for a meeting. He appreciates your kindness, he appreciates it!"
He pulled Lin Mo and squeezed out of the crowd.
After walking far away, they could still hear the people behind them shouting:
"Lin Mo! Come to my house for a meal when you have time!"
"Lin Mo! I stewed chicken soup for you!"
"Lin Mo—!"
Lin Mo lowered his head and walked forward quickly.
Li Chengxi was laughing so hard beside him that he couldn't straighten up.
"Hahaha, Lin Mo, you'll have to wear a mask when you go out from now on."
Lin Mo glanced at him.
"Are you very free?"
Li Chengxi put away his smile.
"Not free, but watching you get frustrated is very interesting."
...
Twenty minutes later.
The two finally arrived at the entrance of the city defense force combat command room.
It was a small three-story building, with soldiers armed with live ammunition standing all around outside.
Seeing Lin Mo, everyone stood at attention in unison.
"Little brother Lin Mo!"
The voice was loud and clear, making Li Chengxi's eardrums ache.
Lin Mo nodded and pushed the door open to enter.
Inside the door was a spacious conference room.
On both sides of the long table sat several people.
Liu Jianguo, Zhou Zhiyuan, Chu Tianye.
And there was also a new face.
It was a bald, burly man, his physique as massive as a bear; sitting there, he was like a mountain, and the aura on his body made the air in the entire room seem to solidify.
