You’re just a blank… ah damn, a universal mage—your accuracy might be a bit off, and you could disrupt our rhythm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Zhang Kai paused, then continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, once we enter the dungeon, how about you stay at the back? All the dirty, tiring work can be left to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just treat this like a… trip? Even if you don’t fight, it’s still your greatest contribution to the team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke, the air in the cabin froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qingyue frowned slightly, feeling Zhang Kai had said too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sounded like concern for Lin Mo’s safety—but put bluntly, wasn’t it just calling him a burden, telling him not to get in the way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo hadn’t spoken yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeee—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The luxury car suddenly slammed on the brakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive inertia threw Zhang Kai forward; his face crashed hard against the seatback ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kai screamed, clutching his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could complain, he looked up—and met a pair of icy, bone-chilling eyes through the rearview mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu gripped the steering wheel with one hand, staring at Zhang Kai through the mirror:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I heard correctly, you’re saying our Young Master is too weak to fight alongside you?

I deserve to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he actually raised his hand and slapped his own mouth:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Lin, please don’t mind me—I’m just a loose-tongued idiot; just treat me like a fart and forget me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Meng and Liu Weiwei beside him didn’t dare breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They huddled in the corner, trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially timid Liu Weiwei, her face pale, terrified the next to be called out would be her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, they finally understood what “serving a lord is like serving a tiger” truly meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually calm Xia Qingyue now had a faint sheen of sweat on her palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized: before this seemingly kind-hearted wealthy young master, any careless word could lead to unforeseen consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo watched this scene, utterly speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did it come to this? Like he’d turned into some villain—specifically the kind the protagonist kills early on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qingyue took a deep breath and stepped in to defuse the tension:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Hongyu, Zhang Kai really is clumsy with words, but he meant no harm—he was genuinely worried about Young Master Lin’s safety. Please don’t hold it against him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed helplessly: “Alright, Sister Ye, just drive. Don’t scare them. They meant well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Young Master speak, Ye Hongyu’s murderous aura slowly receded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She snorted, then pressed the accelerator again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car resumed motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Kai slumped into his seat, his back soaked in cold sweat; he silently swore he wouldn’t utter another word from now on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Fireball began to stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』roared: I can’t take it!

This isn’t just an insult to you—it’s an insult to me!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【If you nod, I’ll fly out right now and erase him so thoroughly not even his ashes will remain! Let him learn what ‘not lifting a finger’ really means!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo felt a pounding headache and quickly calmed the furious spell in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fire, Little Fire! Calm down!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He just blurted out one stupid remark—do you really need to kill him over it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』furious: Why not?! A true powerhouse cannot be insulted! He's challenging my dignity! Burn him! He must burn!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed heavily and lectured earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fire, we’re a skill—we need to have perspective.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we kill someone every time they say something unpleasant, what are we? Murderous monsters? Villains?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This kind of ‘kill on sight’ thinking is wrong, understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』: …Pfft, hypocritical humans.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Power exists to protect yourself and those you care about—not to bully teammates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're strong enough, facts will silence them. There's no need to kill over petty words—that's beneath you, and it crosses the line.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo replied calmly in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』still grumbling, but now quieted: Hmph… Fine, I’ll spare his dog life! Once we enter the dungeon, I’ll show them what real DPS looks like—blind their eyes with my output!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The luxury car pulled up to a desolate rocky beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doors opened, and everyone stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wilderness was bitterly cold—but for Zhang Kai and the others, who’d just endured Ye Hongyu’s death glare, the wind felt almost comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, we’ve arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu walked around the car and respectfully opened the door for Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo stepped out and looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu pulled out the ancient scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Coordinates confirmed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scroll burned to ash,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air ahead violently shuddered, and a rift glowing with violet light tore open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the dungeon entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu turned to Lin Mo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, though this is a trained team, dungeon conditions are unpredictable—please be extremely cautious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If danger arises, don’t be reckless. Your survival comes first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Sister Ye—I’ll take care of myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ye Hongyu’s gaze swept over Xia Qingyue and the other three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You four, listen carefully.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you took the Lin family’s money and accepted their mission, you must risk your lives to protect the Young Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he comes out with even a single scratch…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes yes yes!
