2: Chapter 2 Feeding a Soft Rice

Only then did they remember the person beside Lin Mo; she was destined to be taken away by the Alliance for focused cultivation.

The scene was chaotic for a moment as teachers rushed to check on Zhao Tai's injuries.

Su Xiaoli still looked like she wanted to strike again.

Lin Mo helplessly held back Su Xiaoli, whose face was filled with murderous intent.

"Why are you stopping me?"

Su Xiaoli's Asura-like aura collapsed instantly, and she pouted her lips with a look of grievance.

"He usually wants to crawl into a hole when he sees you, but look how smug that petty person has become now!"

"Don't play with these fools; it's a waste of energy."

Lin Mo chuckled softly.

Good grief, he just attacked so many people with a single sentence.

The people who had just been mocking him suddenly fell silent upon hearing this, feeling an extreme sense of frustration.

If they weren't afraid of Su Xiaoli being right there, they would have wanted to kill Lin Mo on the spot.

On the Awakening Square, gravel fell with a rustling sound.

Zhao Tai was stuck in the cracked wall in a spread-eagle position, his life or death unknown.

The crowd was deathly silent.

No one dared to look directly at the petite loli at the front.

They only looked at Lin Mo with complicated expressions.

"A daughter raised at home, with strength to pull mountains and a spirit that covers the world."

This phrase was the perfect portrayal of Lin Mo and Su Xiaoli.

Everyone knew they were two orphans who had depended on each other since they were children.

And most of the time, Lin Mo played the role of an older brother.

"Whoosh—"

A violent wind suddenly rose.

The clouds in the sky were violently torn apart.

A Shadow Griffin, over ten meters long, folded its wings and crashed into the center of the square like a meteorite.

The intense wind pressure forced everyone to retreat repeatedly.

Two figures leaped down from the griffin's back.

Walking in front was a woman wearing an ice-blue Star Mage Robe, with a glaring Platinum Grade Badge pinned to her chest.

The City Lord of Shimmering City followed behind her like an assistant, keeping pace step by step.

"A Fifth Class Advancement powerhouse! An envoy from the Professional Alliance Headquarters!"

The Dean of Students cried out in shock, his legs going weak as he knelt directly on the ground.

The woman was named Qin Lan; she didn't look at anyone, her gaze locked onto Su Xiaoli like a searchlight.

"Mythical Grade."

"Kings Selection Class—!!"

When Qin Lan saw the words 'Kings Selection Class,' her eyes widened suddenly.

"Lock down the field!"

"I am Qin Lan, a Special Commissioner from the Alliance Headquarters."

"Su Xiaoli, the Headquarters has already activated the highest-level protection directive for you. Now, come with me."

The surrounding students gasped.

Headquarters!

Highest-level protection!

This meant that from today on, Su Xiaoli would completely leave the commoner class, ascending to the heavens in a single bound to become part of the tiny group at the very top of the human pyramid!

"Here comes the good show."

Several boys from the elite class looked at each other, a hint of schadenfreude flashing in their eyes.

They knew this plot!

There were too many classic scenes like this in novels.

They all knew that once taken away by the Alliance, Su Xiaoli and Lin Mo would no longer belong to the same world.

One was a star destined to shine, the other was scrap metal rotting in a swamp.

Big shots would never allow a piece of trash to drag down the progress of a Mythical Grade genius.

Therefore, the next big scene to appear would be: Breaking up the lovers!

Su Xiaoli didn't move.

She took half a step back, hiding half her body behind Lin Mo, her small hand tightly clutching the hem of his clothes.

"I'm not going."

Su Xiaoli looked up, her gaze stubborn.

"I want to be with Lin Mo."

"Wherever he goes, I go."

Qin Lan frowned slightly.

She shifted her gaze, looking at Lin Mo directly for the first time.

"Lin Mo, an ordinary Warrior, talent is... Block 10 damage per level."

A flash of bewilderment crossed Qin Lan's face, and her eyes widened.

"He is your boyfriend?"

The atmosphere in the square dropped to freezing point.

"It's over, this kid is in trouble."

"An ungrateful burden like him will definitely be forcibly sent away."

"Get ready to see how he gets humiliated!"

Qin Lan took two steps forward.

She stared at Lin Mo, reached out her right hand, and reached into her storage ring.

Everyone held their breath.

The next second, Qin Lan pulled out a black-and-gold card and shoved it into Lin Mo's hand.

"This..." Lin Mo looked down at it.

"This is an Alliance Black-Gold Card."

"It has a limit of fifty million Alliance Credits, and holding it allows you to enjoy high-level benefits at Alliance properties."

"From now on, it's your identity card."

Qin Lan lowered her voice, her tone so fast it was like she was making a sales pitch.

"A villa in the Core City safety zone; the transfer procedures can be completed today."

Lin Mo was a bit confused: "Why give me these?"

Not only was Lin Mo stunned, but the teachers and students were all stunned as well.

There was no forced breakup.

She just threw a huge amount of money and resources at him.

What kind of play was this?

Qin Lan looked surprised.

Her expression seemed to say: Why are you all so shocked?

The data said the two grew up depending on each other and were the most important people to one another; she hadn't given it to the wrong person!

Qin Lan explained speechlessly:

"This is a benefit the Alliance gives to the family members of internal members."

"As the family member of a Mythical Grade core member, isn't it perfectly normal for the Alliance to give him benefits?"

"It's like if you were Mythical Grade, wouldn't it be normal to give your parents benefits?"

Suddenly, she frowned again.

"You guys didn't expect me to break them up, did you?"

"The Headquarters has a huge bunch of high-rank Battle Goddesses and Archmages, and they're all single!"

"Every single one of them has standards higher than the sky. Some are over a hundred years old and haven't even touched a man's hand!"

"The Deputy Alliance Leader's hair has turned white from worrying about their mental health!"

She pointed at Su Xiaoli, who was hiding behind Lin Mo:

"This girl is already Mythical Grade! By the time she reaches high rank, she definitely won't look at anyone!"

"Coming with a boyfriend is a pleasant surprise; of course the Headquarters fully supports it."

"Furthermore, they are protected by law. If someone tries to break them up, that's a crime!"

The entire square fell into a deathly silence.

A few seconds later, it completely erupted.

"Holy crap!! How is this different from the novels?!"

"Fifty million! And a villa in the Core City safety zone! I want that too! He can live a life of luxury without doing anything!"

"He's just a Blank Slate Warrior, on what basis does he get this!! Just because he's handsome?!"

"Damn it, I'm so jealous! Why is this kid's luck so good?"

Countless boys were unbearably envious.

The boys in the elite class were even more twisted with jealousy, their teeth nearly grinding to dust.

They thought they'd see Lin Mo fall to the bottom, but who knew the officials would personally feed him, and even force-feed him at that!

Lin Mo looked at the black-gold card in his hand, feeling a bit like laughing.

As expected, true reality is different from brainless novels.

The act of breaking people up to draw hatred—anyone with a bit of sense wouldn't do it.

If you want to cultivate her but dare to draw her hatred, aren't you afraid she'll come back for a reckoning once she's powerful?

The Alliance isn't brainless.

As for the reactions of others, they've clearly read too many web novels.

He turned around and rubbed Su Xiaoli's hair.

"Xiao Li, go with Lady Qin." Lin Mo's voice was gentle.

"I won't!"

Su Xiaoli's eyes reddened as she tightly hugged Lin Mo's waist.

"I don't want any more resources they give me, I only want you."

"Be good."

Lin Mo lifted her face and looked into her eyes.

"Your talent needs better mentors and secret realms."

"Staying in Shimmering City, you won't get the best cultivation."

For Su Xiaoli, what Lin Mo could provide was limited; only in the Alliance could she obtain better resources.

This world was not peaceful.

Only by becoming stronger can one have a place in this world, and the same was true for Su Xiaoli.

Although Lin Mo had a system, he couldn't guarantee he could protect her at every moment.

Her own strength being sufficient was the hard truth.

"But..."

"You two need not worry; core members like Su Xiaoli have the right to bring family members."

Qin Lan said softly,

"Living in the high-level member family protection zone of the Core City, I guarantee not even a mosquito will bite you."

Su Xiaoli's eyes lit up.

"I refuse."

Lin Mo did not hesitate for a second.

He had heard of the family protection zones.

It was an independent small world where you couldn't even find half a monster, and entering or leaving was extremely troublesome.

He had ten-thousand-fold experience; wouldn't playing like that be too boring?

As for 'soft rice,' having a couple of bites occasionally to enjoy it is fine, but did he really want to eat it for a lifetime?

"Lin Mo... I don't want to leave you."

Su Xiaoli stared at Lin Mo pitifully.

Like a poor little girl being abandoned.

"Don't worry, I'll come to the Alliance Headquarters to find you very soon."

Lin Mo's smile was very relaxed.

Su Xiaoli looked at Lin Mo fixedly.

She knew better than anyone the pride in Lin Mo's bones; he used to be number one, and he certainly wouldn't be content being someone who relied on a woman to survive.

But his talent wasn't good...

Could he really do it?

Quickly, she chose to believe Lin Mo.

Because she had never seen something Lin Mo couldn't solve.

Lin Mo was a miracle.

And he was her whole world!

"Okay."

Su Xiaoli sniffled and let go of his hand.

Hearing the result of their discussion, Qin Lan's expression turned grim.

Suddenly, all the surrounding sounds vanished instantly.

"A Soundproofing Item?"

Lin Mo looked at Qin Lan, his expression surprised.
