34: Brother, is 1 billion enough for you?

Inside Lin Ling's home in Dragon Kingdom Base City.

Lin Ling waved his hand, and four or five skill books immediately appeared in his hand.

These were all gains from Meteor Shower.

Lin Ling didn't plan to share those blue and purple equipment with Ji Mo.

Ji Mo didn't even care for those things.

Lin Ling took out an orange bow and a golden staff.

"Doggo, do you want this bow and staff?" Lin Ling asked.

Ji Mo shook his head repeatedly, smiling awkwardly, "I didn't really contribute anything, and I don't need these. However, this bow could be good for bragging. Huh? This staff is interesting."

Lin Ling looked at the staff upon hearing that.

Although this staff was golden equipment, it was black and gold, without magic runes carved on it. Instead, it was carved with several skull heads.

Such a design was rare.

With a thought, Lin Ling immediately checked the staff's attributes.

【Asura Staff (Perfect)】

【Category: Weapon】

【Asura Set】

【Level Requirement: 10】

【Durability: 100/100】

【Magic Damage +100】

【Intelligence +30, Agility +30】

【Equip Passive: When equipped by a Necromancer or Dark Mage, damage increases by 300%】

【For each additional piece of Asura Set equipped, equipment level automatically increases by 10 levels.】

"Are these the attributes a perfect equipment can have?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Ling's eyes.

In his understanding, golden equipment should have four attributes and no active or passive skills.

However, this piece of equipment only had two attributes but an additional passive attribute that could be described as heaven-defying.

Moreover, this Asura Staff was practically a custom-made exclusive weapon for Necromancers and Dark Mages.

If he didn't have the Radiance Set, he would definitely be tempted by this Asura Staff.

"Even if this kind of thing rots in my hands, it can't flow into the market."

Lin Ling thought to himself, directly throwing the orange bow to Ji Mo.

As for the Asura Staff, he put it back into his storage space.

"Brother, an orange equipment is worth tens of millions. You just gave it to me like that?"

Ji Mo looked at the orange bow in his hand and couldn't help but ask.

"Why so much nonsense? This Shadow Clone is good, take it too."

Lin Ling said, throwing a level 15 Assassin skill book over.

Ji Mo took the skill book, and a look of wild joy immediately appeared in his eyes.

【Skill Book: Shadow Clone】

【Class Requirement: Assassin】

【Level Requirement: 15】

【Skill Description: Releasing this skill grants a shadow clone. The clone possesses 100% of the user's attributes and combat power. When not attacking, it acts as the main body's shadow. The clone can sustain combat for 5 minutes as long as it is not defeated.】

【Skill Cooldown: 360 seconds】

Ji Mo could use this skill book perfectly.

Ji Mo didn't say much and immediately learned Shadow Clone.

The next second.

The shadow beneath his feet seemed to come alive, suddenly separating from his body and walking forward.

This type of shadow clone was not uncommon among Assassins, but Ji Mo laughed happily with a series of quacking sounds.

Lin Ling shook his head and looked at the remaining skill books.

Although Lin Ling had only hastily collected all the dropped items after the equipment dropped, he vaguely saw that there was a Mage skill book.

【Warrior - Stone Armor Technique】

【Chef - Intermediate Cutting】

【Repairman - Tire Repair】

【Mage - Rock Armor】

Lin Ling's eyes immediately lit up.

"Earth-element skill."

【Skill Book: Rock Armor】

【Class Requirement: Level 20】

【Skill Description: Summons a Rock Armor that can absorb 30% of damage for you within 1 minute. You are immune to crowd control while the skill is active, and it can absorb a total of 3000 damage.】

【Skill Cooldown: 60 seconds】

"If the Earth-element magic Rock Armor becomes a Forbidden Spell, wouldn't it be an Invincible defensive skill?"

Lin Ling's lips curled slightly, and a bold plan had already formed in his mind.

He looked at Ji Mo and said, "Doggo, I'll make you a set of exclusive weapons."

A hint of doubt flashed in Ji Mo's eyes.

"Brother, my family has quite a few high-tier sets. Even the sacred set, my old man can get it. Don't bother wasting your time and effort."

Lin Ling smiled faintly, "Don't worry about it. True high-end exclusive weapons aren't comparable to sets."

Ji Mo nodded and didn't say much, but the expression on his face clearly showed little interest in exclusive weapons.

"Brother, the team dungeon is still missing one person. Should I find a few good players from my family to come over?"

Creak...

A soft sound came from the window. The night wind blew into the room, bringing a slight chill.

"No need, Doggo. Before the Newbie Championship Dungeon starts, the less people know about my strength, the better.

You go back to Jinhai Base City now and complete your second advancement quest. I'll wait for you in Xiao."

Ji Mo's face immediately flushed with excitement upon hearing this.

He was certain that he would definitely be the first Professional to advance to the second stage this year.

Once he successfully advanced, it would be a global announcement. When the Newbie Rankings opened, he would definitely secure the top spot in the level rankings.

And this honor was entirely bestowed by Lin Ling.

He had originally come to help Lin Ling level up, but he ended up getting a huge benefit himself.

Just then, Lin Ling stood up and walked outside.

"I need to go to Yunmeng Trading House to sell the equipment I got today and buy some materials as well."

Lin Ling's voice came, and Ji Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother, our Ji family just happens to need to purchase a batch of novice equipment. Sell all your stuff today to me."

Lin Ling paused slightly, immediately understanding Ji Mo's intention.

How could the esteemed Ji family lack his ordinary equipment?

Ji Mo wanted him to earn a bit more money.

Lin Ling had many places where he needed money now.

The production of exclusive weapons needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. There was still a shortfall of at least several hundred million for upgrade materials and inlay materials.

"Alright, if you need them, take them."

Lin Ling said, raising a hand, and equipment of white, blue, and purple colors instantly filled half the room.

Ji Mo didn't even look, directly collecting all of them.

"Doggo, I need all-element Mage skill books. Help me keep an eye out," Lin Ling said.

Ji Mo's spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this. Like Lin Ling, he didn't like to take advantage of others, especially his brothers.

Of course, he actually didn't understand Lin Ling well. Lin Ling loved to take advantage of others, but he didn't like to take advantage of friends and brothers.

There was still a significant difference between the two.

Ji Mo was afraid that Lin Ling had no desires or demands. Now that Lin Ling had stated a need, he finally had a purpose.

"Brother, don't worry. I'll have them keep an eye out for Mage skill books. There should be news very soon."

"By the way, take these skill scrolls. Your talent cannot be exposed. When you're in a hurry, these advanced magic scrolls can help cover it up."

"Brother, I transferred 1 billion to your account. Is that enough? If not, I'll transfer more. Consider it my team fee. From now on, I'll rely on you for my level, brother."

Lin Ling frowned slightly, "No need for so much."

"Brother, with your ability, if you spread the word that you're leveling people up for 20 million per person, and they can advance to the second stage overnight, do you know how many people would line up?"

"Let alone 1 billion, you could earn tens of billions, even hundreds of billions. I'm just enjoying one-on-one power leveling in advance."

"When the day comes that you can no longer hide it, just go and power level. No one can resist such temptation."

"And my fighter jet..."

Lin Ling saw Ji Mo was about to say more and quickly interrupted him.

"Alright, alright, I've received the money. Keep the fighter jet for now. We'll talk about it later."

At this moment, Lin Ling's phone also received a bank transfer notification.

【Card ending in 8895 received 1,000,000,000 yuan. Account balance: 1,004,003,120.2 yuan】

Looking at the long string of zeros in 1 billion, Lin Ling still felt a little touched.

He knew that this money might not be much to Ji Mo.

But for him, it could solve an urgent problem.

Many plans he had only dared to imagine before could now be truly implemented with this money.

"Brother, I'm leaving. Keep in touch anytime."

Ji Mo said, intending to leave. Lin Ling didn't say much and followed him outside.

It was already midnight, but there were still many people queuing on the streets of Xiao.

It seemed that the two consecutive Forbidden Spells clearing monsters had given the Professionals of Xiao quite a fright.

"Brother, you go back. Just wait and watch the rankings, quack, quack, quack..."

Ji Mo let out a strange laugh, showing no signs of tiredness on his face. The thought of becoming the top ranked made him uncontrollably excited.

"Stop that weird laugh. You're scaring the ghosts away. Hurry up and scram," Lin Ling said with a laugh.

Ji Mo waved his hand. As he turned to walk out of the city, a disheveled old man suddenly darted out from the side of the street.

The old man was very fast, heading directly towards Ji Mo.

The moment he appeared, Ji Mo noticed him.

With Ji Mo's agility, he could have easily dodged the disheveled old man.

But when Ji Mo saw the old man's hunched body and face covered in scars and wrinkles, he still didn't move.

Behind him was a flight of steps. Given the old man's speed, if Ji Mo dodged, the old man would likely tumble down the steps.

Ji Mo remained motionless, allowing the man to collide with him.

Thud...

A dull thud sounded, and Ji Mo steadily supported the old man.

"Young man..."

Ji Mo was in a hurry to leave. Without waiting for the old man to finish speaking, he vanished on the spot with an Invisibility skill.

The old man looked towards the North City Gate in astonishment.

A moment later, he could only shake his head and turn his gaze to Lin Ling.

"Young man, can you help me find my granddaughter? I can give you a reward."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Ling's face, "Grandpa, where did your granddaughter go missing?"

The streets of Xiao were full of people today. Everyone was leaving Xiao City because of the continuous Forbidden Spells.

This made Lin Ling feel a little guilty. He might as well help the old man if he could.

The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly became exceptionally clear. He looked at Lin Ling, his eyes full of hope.

"Young man, are you willing to help me find my granddaughter?"

The old man asked again, but as soon as he spoke, a system prompt suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ling.

【Congratulations! You have triggered a Hidden Quest (Hero): Help Soldier King General Zheng find his granddaughter.】
