23: There might be a meteor shower tonight

Just as Ji Mo was in a daze, Lin Ling's team invitation had already been sent.

Ji Mo immediately joined the team, while pondering whether he should ask his old man to mail him another 100 high-level magic scrolls.

"Doggo, park the plane on the outskirts of the mountain range, and we'll walk in," Lin Ling said.

Ji Mo snapped back to reality and immediately piloted the fighter jet down towards the mountain range.

...

On the outskirts of the East Lookout Mountain Range, along the only path into the mountains, a team was currently grinding monsters.

Li Jingliang cautiously lured three Level 15 Ghouls over.

He had already reached Level 9 and was just one step away from his target of Level 10.

However, he still didn't dare to be careless when facing Ghouls; once touched by these things, even with his high HP and defense, it wouldn't be pleasant.

Xiao Yan waved his staff, and a Fireball Technique flew out, dealing a high amount of damage to one of the Ghouls.

[-1030]

The Ghoul's HP instantly dropped by more than half.

Seeing this attack, the nearby Ya Zi team members all gave thumbs up.

"Xiao Team's attack is truly explosive."

"No wonder Xiao Team insisted on coming to grind Ghouls; fire magic naturally has a damage bonus against these dark creatures."

"Yeah, I can only deal 600+ damage with one arrow."

Listening to his teammates' praise, Xiao Yan's chin lifted slightly, and he waved his staff again, releasing another Fireball Technique.

Bang...

After a round of focused fire, all three Ghouls were eliminated.

Just as Li Jingliang was about to continue luring monsters, he suddenly saw two figures walking towards them from down the mountain.

One of them glowed with a dazzling white light, and the other was clad in orange light, making them incredibly conspicuous in the summer night.

"Xiao Team, two people are coming from behind," Li Jingliang said, looking down the mountain.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly: "Two people coming to grind Ghouls?"

Everyone looked down the mountain, their eyes wide.

"Holy crap, where did these big shots come from? Full set of orange equipment? Could it be a legendary set?"

"Could they be Five-turn or higher big shots?"

"When will I ever have a full set of orange equipment?"

Envious voices rang out among the two Ya Zi sub-teams, as for the white-glowing figure, they automatically ignored it.

Under the envious gazes of the Ya Zi team members, the two figures quickly approached them.

The expressions of the Ya Zi team members immediately became strange.

"Team Leader Lin."

"Lin Ling?"

They quickly recognized one of the two as Lin Ling; as for the other, they had never seen him before.

When Xiao Yan saw God Lin in a full set of Level 1 white equipment, his face immediately filled with mockery.

"Oh, isn't this God Lin? Why are you still Level 1? The East Lookout Mountain Range isn't a place you can come to."

As Xiao Yan spoke, his gaze secretly darted towards Ji Mo, but since Ji Mo was wearing an illusionist mask, Xiao Yan didn't recognize his identity.

"Should I use Peeking Skill?"

Xiao Yan thought to himself and immediately used Peeking Skill.

However, the system's feedback was that the target could not be peeked.

But when he saw the style of the equipment Ji Mo was wearing, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Legendary Radiant Set?

Lin Ling's beginner's guide contained some information about the Radiant Set.

This was the top-tier set among equipment below Level 10; Xiao Yan himself also had two pieces of blue Radiant defensive equipment.

This meant that the person they thought was a big shot was nothing more than a newcomer.

A newcomer wearing a legendary Radiant Set?

To wear a Radiant Set within one day, there were only two possibilities.

One was to buy old stock.

The other was to have it newly dropped.

Xiao Yan didn't think anyone would hoard a legendary Radiant Set just for fun.

But if one wanted to drop a Radiant Set, the human and financial resources required would definitely be a terrifying investment.

With just one glance, Xiao Yan analyzed a lot of information.

He didn't recognize this person's appearance, so it was likely the young master of some reclusive financial group, whose family's background was only higher than the Xiao Family's.

"Which family is this friend from? So our Lin Ling has found a sugar daddy, hahaha..."

Xiao Yan said, laughing loudly.

Ji Mo didn't even look at him, and Lin Ling just gave him a faint glance, saying calmly, "Sweetbaby."

Xiao Yan's face was full of confusion.

Xiao Ya, who was beside him, suddenly whispered in his ear, "Brother, Sweetbaby is 'Sweetbaby' in English, abbreviated as SB!"

"You..."

Xiao Yan was called an SB and immediately flew into a rage.

"What 'you'?" Ji Mo's narrow eyes instantly narrowed slightly, locking tightly onto Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan immediately raised his staff, but then he thought of the opponent's full set of orange equipment, while he himself only had one purple weapon and the rest were blue equipment.

If an orange-equipped assassin of a similar level were to ambush him...

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Xiao Yan's forehead, and he immediately shut his mouth.

"Lin Ling." Zhou Mengyan called out softly and walked to Lin Ling's side, her eyes glancing at Ji Mo, "Thank you for your Light of Purification."

Lin Ling nodded lightly.

He was always generous to his friends, but he wouldn't blindly give.

That wouldn't be a friend, but a simp.

"And thank you for your warring states red. It seems I got the better deal, and I'll repay you later."

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Mengyan's eyes.

But soon he found that Zhou Mengyan's pupils showed no change, the only emotion that appeared was confusion.

"What warring states red?" Zhou Mengyan tilted her head slightly, asking in confusion.

"Wasn't it you? Someone anonymously sent me three zhan guo red agates. I thought you mailed them to me," Lin Ling said, a meaningful smile on his face.

Zhou Mengyan looked at Lin Ling with a puzzled expression, then took out five scrolls from her storage space and handed them over: "I know you're short on money. Take these five intermediate magic scrolls to grind monsters. With your skill, luring more monsters shouldn't be a problem. But still, don't level up in the East Lookout Mountain Range; it's too dangerous here."

"Zhou Mengyan! Hurry up and level up, don't waste everyone's time."

Xiao Yan's face was ashen, and he let out a soft shout, his voice full of displeasure.

However, Zhou Mengyan completely ignored Xiao Yan, just extending her hand and staring into Lin Ling's eyes.

Lin Ling felt a little touched at this moment. The current Zhou Mengyan hadn't become a Bishop Priest yet.

Naturally, she didn't have a monthly salary of over a hundred million. These few magic scrolls would probably cost her three years of savings.

Lin Ling didn't take them, just gently shook his head.

"No need. I don't need these things. You use them yourself or sell them."

Just then, a meteor streaked across the night sky, and Zhou Mengyan's gaze was instantly drawn to it.

Seeing this, Lin Ling said, "You still like meteors so much?"

"You're still so strong-willed." Zhou Mengyan understood Lin Ling too well. After speaking, she put away the magic scrolls in her hand.

Lin Ling looked at the starry sky and said, "There might be a Meteor Shower tonight."

"Tch, where would a Meteor Shower come from? Lin Ling, hurry up and leave, don't disturb our leveling." Xiao Ya's voice came.

However, Lin Ling didn't even look at her, continuing to say to Zhou Mengyan, "Perhaps because of my appearance, there will be a Meteor Shower. You should still go to Wan Liu Park in the west of the city to grind mutated treants. If a Meteor Shower really appears, the dark creatures will probably all be smashed to death."

Although Lin Ling had already decided to minimize the skill's range this time when releasing it, at least for dozens of miles around, probably not a single dark creature would be left.

Giving them a hint for Zhou Mengyan's sake was doing his utmost. Whether they listened or not was no longer Lin Ling's concern.

"Tch, what kind of joke is that? You just want us to waste some time on the road so you can have more time to catch up." Xiao Ya said disdainfully, putting on a smug expression as if she had seen through Lin Ling's scheme.

Lin Ling said no more and turned to walk deeper into the mountain range.

"Hmph, does he really think he's the God Lin who dominated the simulation pod?"

Xiao Yan's voice came from behind, and Lin Ling once again extended his hand and waved it over his head.

Looking at his back, Xiao Yan suddenly had a strange feeling for some reason, as if he truly was just a clown in front of this person.
