Chapter 111: Everyone Has a Bright Future!

"See that? See that?"

Han Mengqing's face glowed with excitement as she bounced around in front of her older sister.

"I told you! That's Lin Mo, the big boss! How can ordinary mortals possibly fathom the depth of a god?"

She planted her hands on her hips and pressed close to Han Mengyao's face.

"Big sister, big sister, this is vision!"

"Are your horizons really that narrow? Your so-called paradoxes, your 'impossibilities'—to Lin Mo, they're just jokes!"

"The facts prove that theories are only for ordinary people. For wall-breakers, rules are meant to be shattered!"

Han Mengyao took a deep breath, her temples twitching faintly.

Her grip on the spear tightened, then loosened, then tightened again.

Really…

I just want to skewer this brat and send her flying into the lava pool!

But looking at that boy over there, Han Mengyao had to admit she'd overthought it.

"Shut up."

Han Mengyao glared coldly at her sister.

She forced herself to maintain the last shred of her dignity as an older sister: "You don't speak, and no one will mistake you for a mute."

"And stop bouncing around—you're giving me a headache."

Han Mengqing stuck out her tongue. "Pfft, pfft, pfft! You're flustered! You're flustered! I hit a nerve, didn't I?"

Han Mengyao: "..."

Tired. Just end it.

Chu Lingxuan couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.

She turned her gaze toward Lin Mo, her eyes filled with admiration:

"Lin Mo… he's really incredible. It feels like any problem he touches becomes simple."

"This is what true genius looks like… whether it's combat awareness or control over elements."

"Compared to him, we're like clumsy little turtles…"

…

Hearing the three girls' chatter, Lin Mo merely smiled faintly.

He was lost in the new power surging within him.

【The "Fireball Spell" was currently in an extremely excited state.】

【Its previously ethereal flame core had become unnaturally dense, faintly taking on the silhouette of a human form.】

【The "Fireball Spell" let out an ecstatic moan: Ohhh—! This power! This body is singing! Dancing!】

【The "Fireball Spell" laughed wildly: Hahaha! I see it! The staircase to the divine throne! If only I get more of these stones, I'll master true forbidden spells, transform into the true Fire God, and burn all heavens!】

This scene deeply stirred the two brothers beside him.

【The "Earth Shield Spell" stared at his elder brother, drooling with envy.】

【The "Earth Shield Spell" pouted pitifully: Master… I want it too…】

Even the usually indifferent "Lightning Strike Spell" flickered slightly.

【The "Lightning Strike Spell": Me too.】

"Cough."

Lin Mo cleared his throat mentally, a benevolent smile tugging at his lips.

It's not that you fear employees having ambition—it's that you fear them wanting to lie down.

As long as they have desire, they're good steeds.

"Little Earth, Little Thunder—I understand how you feel."

Lin Mo spoke with solemn gravity:

"Look at your big brother—how majestic! How powerful! He's the emperor of flames!"

【The "Fireball Spell," flattered into euphoria: Of course! I'm destined to become a forbidden spell—I'm born to be a king!】

"Opportunities always belong to those who are prepared!"

Lin Mo's tone surged with passion as he launched into his performance:

"Little Fire got where he is today because he's always the most proactive, the hardest-working—whether leveling up or dealing damage, he's always out front!"

"This is his just reward! That's the Dao rewarding diligence!"

"Even though there was only one fire element shard this time, if you both work hard, I promise you—the next element shard will be yours!"

"In this family, there's only different roles, no hierarchy or nobility. If you work hard, deeply understand new skills, and kill monsters to level up…"

"I promise you all! Everyone will get their own elemental avatar! Everyone has a bright future!"

His words had an immediate, dramatic effect.

【The "Earth Shield Spell" burst into tears: Waaahhh… Master is so good to me! Master cares about me! I'll work harder! I'll become the ultimate grind king!】

【The "Lightning Strike Spell" said nothing, but its previously restless lightning dimmed slightly, then sharpened even further.】

Seeing the skills' reactions, Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

That's the spirit.

Only when employees have something to strive for can the boss drive a Ferrari… oh no, can become stronger.

"Full-element avatars…"

Even Lin Mo couldn't help feeling a flicker of longing.

If he could truly reach that point, he'd be an army unto himself…

Then, what would the Ten Nations Battlefield or the Demon Tide matter? He'd just crush them flat.

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo pulled out his skill books.

He wanted to test whether skill levels could only be raised through element shards.

Hummm—hummm—

One by one, precious skill books dissolved into light and surged into his body.

【Skill "Fireball Spell" leveled up to Lv. 5 (current cap)!】

【Skill "Flame Pillar" leveled up to Lv. 5 (current cap)!】

【Skill "Lightning Strike Spell" leveled up to Lv. 5 (current cap)!】

【…】

A string of notifications appeared.

All of Lin Mo's skills, except the special ones, were raised to Lv. 5.

He glanced at the still-Lv. special skill and shook his head.

"So it doesn't work…"

"Then again, if you could max out a divine skill just by eating a few books, it'd be too cheap."

Lin Mo quickly let it go.

A man shouldn't be greedy.

Opening a special skill at this level was already a massive cheat—demanding instant max level would be downright unreasonable.

Just then,

"Lin Mo, hurry and check out that mythic weapon! I heard mythic weapons have unique traits!"

Han Mengqing, unable to wait, urged Lin Mo.

Her reminder jolted him—he'd forgotten he still had two loot items to pick up.

He walked over and reached out to touch the red glow.

The light faded.

A wildly designed staff appeared in Lin Mo's hand.

Two dragon carvings coiled around its shaft—one crimson fire dragon, one deep-blue lightning dragon.

The two dragons spiraled upward, converging at the staff's tip to jointly guard a brilliant gem of dual lightning and fire.

Lin Mo checked its details.

【Name: Celestial Punishment—Lightning-Fire Dragon God Staff (Mythic Rank)】

【Requirement: Lv. 5】

【Trait 1: Lightning-Fire Twinborn—Lightning and Fire skill damage increased by 30%.】

【Trait 2: Elemental Resonance—After using either Lightning or Fire skill, next skill of the other element gains 30% damage boost.】

【Trait 3: Dragon God's Might—Damage against dragon-type monsters increased by 50%.】

【Description: A staff infused with the power of the Lightning-Fire Demon Dragon God. Only the sovereign who masters the true essence of lightning and fire may wield it.】
