20: Chapter 20 Adorable Big Sister

Heifeng Camp, single dormitory.

Lin Mo casually grabbed a towel to dry his hair, then walked to the bedside and sat down shirtless.

"Whew..." He let out a long breath.

As his thoughts stirred, a pale blue holographic data panel cascaded down his retina like a waterfall.

Looking at the series of almost dazzling data on it, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up bit by bit.

Hundreds of low-level monsters working tirelessly!

Awesome.

It felt so damn good.

Combined with the system's 40,000x experience multiplier, his gains today were simply outrageous.

[Talent: Block (Level 2096)]

[Effect: Each time you take any damage, the damage taken is reduced by 20,960 points!]

20,960 points of damage reduction!

This meant that as long as it didn't exceed 20,960, hitting him wouldn't even be able to cut a single leg hair!

As for multi-hit damage, no matter what the total damage was, as long as the single-hit damage didn't exceed 20,960, hitting him resulted in 0 damage.

Looking down at the skill list.

[Berserk (Level 350)]

[Effect: Gain 194.5% Tenacity, 194.5% Physical Lifesteal, and increase Strength and Speed by 274.5%.]

[Cost: Deduct 10% of Maximum Health per second (minimum reduced to 1 point).]

[Cooldown: None]

[Advanced Ability: Advent of the Berserk God]

— —

[Parry (Level 290)]

[Effect: Use a weapon to Parry enemy physical attacks within 0.5 seconds, reducing all attribute damage by 229%, and reflecting 109.5% of True Damage.]

[Cooldown: 2 seconds]

[Advanced Ability: Impregnable Fortress]

These outrageous stats were truly hard to keep a straight face about.

Level 350 Berserk increased Strength and Speed by a full 274%!!

Plus the 3x independent multiplier for all attributes from Advent of the Berserk God, his Strength and Speed became 1125.5% of his base attributes!!

A full ten-fold increase!!

Parry was even more fun; the reflected damage had already exceeded 100%.

This meant that when someone hit him, not only was he completely fine, but the other person also received higher reflected damage than the damage they dealt.

It was outrageous!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo took out the two bottles of monster attracting incense.

Tomorrow, he would go and lure a huge group of monsters to activate the super automated experience farming mode once again!

Thinking of the experience that would skyrocket tomorrow, Lin Mo couldn't help but let out a sinister "hehehe" laugh.

"Buzz—"

The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated violently.

Lin Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Who would be looking for him so late?

He reached out and pressed the answer button, not rushing to speak.

A sound of rapid, suppressed breathing came from the other end of the communicator.

After a full five seconds, a faint, trembling female voice came through the airwaves.

"Is... is that Xiao Mo?"

Hearing these two words, the hand Lin Mo was using to dry his hair paused.

He quickly filtered through familiar voices in his mind, then his gaze tightened.

"Sister Lin?"

Lin Mo tentatively called out.

A sob suddenly came from the other end of the phone, as if the fear that had been bottled up for a long time had found an outlet at this moment.

"Xiao Mo... it really is you! Was it really you that I saw in the camp hall today?"

Li Qilin.

The priest girl who followed behind Chu Tiankuo today, shrinking at the very back of the team the whole time, not even daring to raise her head.

She was also the big sister at the orphanage who was 3 years older than Lin Mo and Su Xiaoli.

She left the orphanage alone 7 years ago, and 3 years later, she started sending a sum of money to the orphanage every month.

It hadn't stopped even until now.

Lin Mo's brows relaxed, and he replied softly:

"It's me."

"Sorry about today; I didn't know it was you..."

"Where is Xiao Li? Isn't Xiao Li with you?"

"Xiao Li was taken to Core City by the Alliance Special Envoy; she is safe now."

"Sister Lin, are you working for The Consortium now?"

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Li Qilin was silent for a few seconds.

Lin Mo had been the smartest among the children since he was young; she wasn't surprised that he could guess about The Consortium through the monster attracting incense.

"You know, there are so many younger brothers and sisters at the orphanage, everyone needs to study and go to school... all of this costs money."

"Not everyone is born knowing everything like you..."

Li Qilin's voice carried bitterness.

"There won't be a second person in the world who can rely on themselves to earn money for school at such a young age like you..."

"Yeah..."

Lin Mo was silent.

The next second, Li Qilin's speaking speed suddenly increased, revealing extreme anxiety.

"Xiao Mo, never mind me! Go find that Alliance Special Envoy quickly! Let her take you away!"

Lin Mo frowned:

"What happened?"

"Chu Tiankuo reported what happened today to the Ling Consortium!"

Li Qilin was incoherent, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid,

"Ling Feng... he is the young master of the Ling Consortium stationed in Shimmering City, and he found out the intelligence that Xiao Li is a Mythical Grade Kings Selection class!"

"He wants to take you hostage to threaten Xiao Li, or to negotiate terms with the Alliance!"

Lin Mo's eyes turned cold.

Qin Lan had warned him on the day Su Xiaoli awakened.

Now it seemed the first real villain was about to appear.

"Sister Lin, don't be anxious, take your time."

Lin Mo's voice was surprisingly steady, allowing Li Qilin's emotions to calm down slightly.

"Xiao Mo, don't you understand? They are going to make a move on you!"

Li Qilin was so anxious she was about to cry,

"He even sent out the Night Owl Squad that he keeps!"

"That group of people are all death squads he raised; every single one of them is a peak First-Turn assassin who has reached the First-Turn apex and is stuck at Level 90!"

Level 90.

Peak First-Turn.

Lin Mo was startled.

He wondered if they could break through his Level 2000+ Block.

Damn it!

If it weren't for the fact that his level was currently capped at Level 30 with full experience, he would have already leveled up to 90!

Seeing that Lin Mo didn't make a sound, Li Qilin thought he was scared silly and quickly added:

"Ling Feng has distributed a large number of control scrolls to the Night Owl Squad, as well as high-level magic scrolls with True Damage and Piercing effects!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"True Damage scrolls, armor piercing? Control?"

He repeated softly.

Strictly speaking, the Block effect is not damage immunity, but a damage absorption effect.

Therefore, penetration and True Damage have no effect on Block.

Don't ask why, because this is the noble mechanism of Block.

As for control... Lin Mo looked at his Tenacity.

Of course, Li Qilin didn't know the reason, and she became even more anxious.

"Yes! True Damage ignores all defense and damage reduction!"

"Xiao Mo, you must be careful! You are just a newly awakened Warrior; your HP won't be able to withstand it!"

She gripped the communicator tightly,

"While they haven't made a move yet, hurry up and have Special Envoy Qin take you to Core City... as long as you get there, you will be safe."

"Sister Lin."

Lin Mo interrupted her, his voice carrying an indescribable calmness.

"Huh?"

"Thank you for telling me this news."

Li Qilin was stunned.

"Eh!? You're... you're welcome."

Her brain stalled for a moment,

"You must already know what to do, after all, you are so smart."

"I know you and Xiao Li will definitely be able to go further than me, and you must safely get through this time too."

"I will."

Lin Mo smiled.

"Good luck! Sister Lin."

"Oh... oh! I will definitely do my best too! That's it then, you must be careful, okay."

Beep, beep...

The call hung up.

Lin Mo let out a soft breath.

A familiar feeling of warmth appeared in his heart again.

So many years had passed, and that little girl who was clearly ditsy but called herself a big sister still hadn't changed.

Coming back to his senses.

Lin Mo's gaze became serious.
