Chapter 163: I, Lin Mo, Am Just an Ordinary Whiteboard Mage

~8 min read 1,471 words

Kyoto University, Longyuan Pavilion cafeteria.

Inside a luxurious private room on the top floor of the cafeteria.

On a large rosewood long table that could seat thirty, there was now a dazzling spread of top-grade magical beast ingredients.

"Holy crap, that's way too lavish! In that case, I won't hold back!"

Wang Dawei grabbed a big chicken drumstick with his bare hand and started wolfing it down with zero regard for appearances.

Lin Mo held a knife and fork in his hand, about to dig into a 'Great Earth Rock Bear Leg' in front of him.

Just then,

【【Fireball】 was bouncing wildly in the skill bar, stretching out two flame-arms, gesticulating wildly.】

【【Fireball】 pointed at the Fiery Flame Steak on the other side, shouting loudly: Eat this one first! Quick! This Seat today has comprehended a high-tier skill, the consumption is enormous, I urgently need this kind of top-grade fire-element ingredient to nourish This Seat's noble spiritual power!】

The hand holding the fork paused slightly.

Before he could react, a voice from the side immediately cut in.

【【Earth Shield】 bounced in place: No! Master! Drink that Rock Armor Rhino Bone Marrow Soup first!】

【【Earth Shield】 said somewhat urgently: Second Brother here today tanked the focused fire of over fourteen hundred people! That bone marrow soup looks like a great tonic, Master, drink the soup first! Drinking soup nourishes the stomach!】

【【Fireball】 heard this and immediately became displeased: How dare you! Second Brother, don't you know the order of seniority? This Seat is the eldest, naturally This Seat eats first!】

【【Earth Shield】 argued its case forcefully: Big Brother, if it weren't for me today, could you have output so comfortably! That first bite today must be mine!】

The two skills went back and forth, making Lin Mo feel his brain nerves twitching in pain.

On Lin Mo's forehead, a visible "井" character emerged.

"All of you, shut up!"

Lin Mo said through gritted teeth in his heart. "Bicker, bicker, bicker, all day long you only know how to bicker! Can't even let a person eat in peace!"

"Can you be quiet? Look at Third Brother over there!"

"Same as you, he put in great effort today, so why is Little Lei so calm and composed?"

"Try learning Third Brother's steadiness, will you!"

After Lin Mo's head-on dressing-down.

【【Fireball】 and 【Earth Shield】 simultaneously stopped arguing, snorted at each other in defiance, and each turned their heads away.】

【【Lightning Strike】, hearing this, also flickered all over its body, and said lightly: Indeed, they're too noisy. As a punishment to curb their arrogance, I suggest the first bite should still be that plate of 'Thunder Giant Eagle Roast Wings'.】

"……"

Lin Mo's hand froze.

Good lord.

I tip my hat to you!

I thought you were a lofty, aloof male god who kept to himself.

Turns out you're playing the long game here?

【【Fireball】 was so angry its flames nearly turned cyan: You little Third Brother! What kind of pretense of depth are you putting on here! The first bite must be fire-element!】

【【Earth Shield】 also got anxious: Third Brother, that's just not right of you! How can you step on your two elder brothers to climb up! It must be earth-element!】

Lin Mo, with a look of utter despair, covered his face with one hand.

His expression was filled with speechlessness and exhaustion.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Lin Mo shouted in his heart.

"I've only got one mouth!"

"What's the rush? It's not like there's nothing to eat! Slow down, eat one at a time!"

"Whoever says one more word of nonsense, that element's ingredients today — not a single bite will they get!"

Once these words came out, the damage was enormous.

The three skills instantly shut their mouths.

Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief, only then did he pick up the knife and fork again.

……

At the dining table.

Everyone ate while chatting.

Ye Kong wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, let out a cold laugh:

"Those sophomores, just because they enrolled a year earlier, they look at us new students with arrogance in their eyes."

"Today, the class monitor's move completely beat them into submission."

"Exactly!"

Han Mengqing waved her little fork in high spirits:

"Tsk tsk tsk, a clean sweep all the way! Class monitor, I wouldn't even dare to dream this big in my dreams…"

Chu Lingxuan also looked at Lin Mo with eyes full of admiration:

"Yeah, classmate Lin Mo, you're really too amazing."

Lin Mo waved his hand, modestly: "Mainly because the other side all clustered together, which actually saved me trouble."

"The sophomore seniors aren't much; our real bigger enemy is that bunch of Ying Nation little devils."

Ye Kong tossed his fork onto the plate, his gaze turning cold, and snorted:

"That bunch of little devils have really been jumping around too much."

"Breaking records is one thing, but they even dared to leave mocking messages — that's clearly not taking our Dragon Nation seriously at all."

Mentioning this matter, expressions of righteous indignation appeared on everyone's faces.

"That bunch of short stumps just needs to be taught a lesson!"

Wang Dawei slapped the table.

"Do they really think breaking a record makes them invincible? That's just because they haven't met the class monitor!"

"If the class monitor steps in, he'll definitely push that record to a height they can only look up to for the rest of their lives!"

Han Mengqing chimed in as well:

"Exactly! After we finish eating, let's go teach them how to be human!"

"Oh, right, sister."

Han Mengqing suddenly thought of something and looked at her older sister. "I just heard Teacher Xu say that Team Fuben experience is three times that of a normal Fuben. So can't we just grind Team Fubens every day? Wouldn't leveling up be as fast as a rocket?"

Han Mengyao rolled her eyes at her silly younger sister and explained impatiently:

"Do you think this is a game?"

"Entering a Fuben puts a burden on our spirit. Each person can enter at most three times a day."

"Although Team Fubens give three times the experience of normal Fubens, the burden on the spirit is also three times that of a normal Fuben."

"I see... so that means either grind three normal Fubens a day, or one Team Fuben a day..."

Han Mengqing nodded, suddenly enlightened.

Then she suddenly looked at Lin Mo and asked curiously:

"Hey, what do you guys say? Ordinary people can only handle three spirit burdens, but what about Big Shot Lin Mo? He shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?"

Hearing this,

Lin Mo immediately refused with a serious face:

"Don't mess around! I, Lin Mo, from Jianghai City, am just an ordinary Level 18 blank-slate Mage. Stop those dangerous thoughts of yours!"

Lin Mo said this with such righteous conviction.

The students around couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

You, an ordinary person?

Oh yes, yes, yes. An ordinary person who casually uses three high-tier skills, activates a Dual-Element Body, and along the way flattens the entire second-year class.

Facing everyone's gaze,

Lin Mo's face didn't flush, his heart didn't skip a beat, and he continued eating.

What a joke.

Exceeding the spirit burden would turn you directly into a Bai Chi.

Who wants to take that life-threatening risk? Let them try if they dare.

One certainly cannot joke with one's own life.

"Alright, stop joking. Regarding Team Fubens, there is one more very important point."

Han Mengyao brought the topic back.

Her expression turned serious:

"Team Fubens are all mechanism-based Fubens."

"Inside, there will be various complex traps, special terrain kills, and invincible shields on the BOSS that can only be broken by following a specific sequence."

"Those little devils from Ying Country probably found some shortcut to skip the mechanics, or cracked some special mechanism, to push the record up so much all at once."

Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Han Mengyao nodded and said:

"After we finish eating, I'll go to Teacher Xu first, get the detailed mechanisms of the Team Fuben, and study them carefully."

Lin Mo also raised both hands in agreement.

"Then it's settled. You guys study the mechanisms carefully first. I'll go back and take a nap. We'll talk about everything after I wake up."

Ye Kong heard this, nodded, and replied:

"No problem."

"Class monitor, you bore all the burden alone during this Freshman Trial. You've truly worked hard."

"Leave the rough work of researching data and studying mechanisms to us. You rest assured."

Just then,

the slightly ajar door of the private room was gently pushed open from the outside.

Everyone turned to look.

Shen Jun and Gu Qingge were standing at the door, somewhat reserved.

"Lin, Lin Mo... Big Shot."
