38: Chapter 38 Starlight and Moonlit Condensation
Li Chengxi paused, then laughed.
"Refreshing!"
"Brother Lin Mo is truly a straightforward person. Since that's the case, I'll be blunt!"
"The condition is very simple. You just need to help me once when I need help. That's enough!"
Lin Mo didn't speak, just watched Li Chengxi quietly.
Seeing this, Li Chengxi added,
"Don't worry, I guarantee it won't put you in a difficult position. It's like…"
"A guest consultant! Yes, that's it! If you're willing, I can advance you a year's worth of resources right now! How about it?"
The woman beside him, Li Chengxi's little girlfriend, chimed in,
"Student Lin Mo, Chengxi genuinely wants to make friends with you. You might not know the background of his mother's family. I can reveal a little to you…"
"Chengxi's mother's surname is Zheng! The Zheng family of Yanjing, one of the directors of the Awakener Alliance board! If you can get the support of the Zheng family, your future path will be a hundred times easier!"
Lin Mo glanced at her, but that gaze made her shiver inexplicably, and she hurriedly shut her mouth.
Uncle Zheng, standing to the side, also walked over and said to Lin Mo in a sincere tone,
"Lin Mo, I know you don't think much of Chengxi, but he can truly provide you with resources. You should know how important cultivation resources are to an Awakener like you. You should think about it."
Lin Mo laughed.
Resources?
Techniques?
Elixirs?
Perhaps these things are very important to ordinary Awakeners.
But to Lin Mo, they didn't have much appeal.
Sorry, you haven't transmigrated, you don't understand! I only need slaughter value!
"Fine, I'll consider it."
Lin Mo wanted to laugh, but he knew he couldn't yet, so he pretended to hesitate and replied.
"Good, then I'll wait for good news from Brother Lin Mo! I hope you won't keep me waiting too long!" Li Chengxi said with pleasant surprise.
"It won't be too long, but I have things to attend to now and need to leave. No one will stop me, right?" Lin Mo glanced at Li Chengxi.
"No, of course not. Here, Brother Lin Mo can come and go as he pleases!" Li Chengxi patted his chest to guarantee.
"And… my teammates…"
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it. Even if all the fierce beasts in Nanling run out, I can guarantee their safety. You go ahead and do your business!"
Outside the stronghold, Li Chengxi's little girlfriend held his arm.
"Chengxi, do you really believe he will agree?"
The flattery on Li Chengxi's face faded instantly.
"No," he said.
"Then you…"
"But he will eventually come back!" Li Chengxi interrupted her, his gaze falling in the direction of the stronghold.
The woman was stunned.
"You mean…"
"That girl named Yi Xiaoyu? You want to use her to threaten Lin Mo?"
A complex look flashed in the woman's eyes.
"Then what if he doesn't fall for that?"
Li Chengxi was silent for a moment. Then he laughed.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, that girl is quite pretty. If he doesn't want her… I do!"
After leaving the temporary stronghold, Lin Mo immediately summoned his attribute panel.
Just now, after killing that second-rank veteran, his slaughter value had already exceeded 2000.
[Name: Lin Mo]
[Profession: Awakener]
[Trait: God Speed (Purple Superior)]
[Cultivation: Second Rank, First Stage]
[Strength: 65]
[Agility: 82]
[Constitution: 60]
[Spirit: 67]
[Technique: Flowing Cloud Aurora Slash LV4 (35/100), Basic Saber Technique LV11 (12/100), Lingyan Steps LV2 (62/100)]
[slaughter value: 2392]
[achievement points: 5]
It was enough.
Not just enough.
That second-rank late-stage veteran who had lost his soldier's soul had provided Lin Mo with a full 400 points of slaughter value.
If Uncle Zheng, a third-rank Awakener, hadn't suddenly intervened, Lin Mo would have been prepared to kill the remaining two as well.
Those two were walking slaughter values, and very valuable ones at that—400 each, much more valuable than fierce beasts.
Lin Mo didn't hesitate at all. With a thought, he ordered:
"Activate Trait Enchantment!"
[Consuming 2000 slaughter value, enabling the Trait Enchantment function]
[Detected that the host has activated the talent trait: God Speed (Purple)]
[Do you wish to perform enchantment enhancement on this trait?]
[Enchantment effect: Slightly improve trait quality, and randomly attach a new characteristic!]
[Enchantment success rate: 100%]
[Trait quality after enchantment: Purple Superior → Purple Top-tier]
[Please confirm, do you wish to enchant!]
Lin Mo thought: "Activate!"
On the attribute panel, the slaughter value column instantly changed from 2392 to 392.
The next second, a purple light shone from Lin Mo's chest. The light penetrated his combat uniform, penetrated his skin, and dyed into a flowing purple mist in the air.
Soon, the purple light grew brighter and brighter, as if something was breaking out of a cocoon inside Lin Mo's body.
That wasn't an upgrade, not a breakthrough; it was a deeper change.
The light exploded. And in an instant, it retracted.
Lin Mo opened his eyes.
[Enchantment complete]
[God Speed (Purple Superior) → God Speed · Starlight Moon Condensation (Purple Top-tier)]
[God Speed · Starlight Moon Condensation: The moon rises but the stars are not obscured, adding clear brilliance instead]
Passive: All attributes increased by 25%, Agility increased by 50%, dynamic vision increased by 240%, neural response increased by 240%. The body adapts to high-speed states, allowing clear observation of the surrounding environment during raids. The brain generates a bullet-time effect, causing surrounding objects to slow down.
Active 1: After activation, passive effects are doubled, and the user enters the visual residue domain. Everything seen is an afterimage, everything passed leaves a trail. When moving, it drags out 6-12 clear afterimages, impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. Afterimages last 0.5 seconds and can simulate the main body's actions, but continuous use will cause body temperature to rise rapidly. It will force a shutdown after reaching a critical value.
Active 2: Starlight Moon Condensation. Stamina consumption increases by 500%. Can increase a specified attribute to be on par with the Agility attribute!
