Chapter 164: From Today On, If I, Shen Jun, Am Told to Go East, I Won

Shen Jun looked at Lin Mo, his expression complex.

There was embarrassment, there was unease, but mostly, a deep-rooted awe.

Seeing these two, the atmosphere inside the private room instantly grew tense.

Wang Dawei unconsciously clenched his fists.

Ye Kong also slightly narrowed his eyes.

After all, just two hours ago, both sides were fighting to the death in the dungeon.

Lin Mo, however, appeared utterly calm.

He looked at Shen Jun standing at the door and asked in a level tone:

"What do you want?"

Shen Jun took a deep breath and entered the room with Gu Qingge.

After having witnessed Lin Mo's terrifying strength firsthand.

Shen Jun's lingering senior arrogance had long been shattered into dust.

Moreover,

Anyone with functioning eyes could see that Lin Mo would one day become a pillar holding up the stability of Longguo.

To make an enemy of such a person was the act of a fool.

"Senior Lin Mo."

Shen Jun walked up to the long table and bowed slightly:

"Earlier, we were blind to your greatness and deeply offended you."

"Your strength has left us humbled and convinced. From this day forward, at Jingda, if you tell me to go east, I won't dare go west!"

Hearing Shen Jun's words of submission and goodwill,

Lin Mo's expression showed no change.

In his heart,

he had never taken the so-called freshman trial grudges seriously.

In the long journey of life,

let alone these so-called seniors like Shen Jun and Gu Qingge,

even the others in the Long Xu Class,

were likely just fleeting passersby in his life.

Would a dragon care that ants on the ground once tried to trip it?

Besides, we're all students of Jingda; in truth, they merely followed the rules and never did anything underhanded to him.

To quarrel over this with them?

That would be a pitifully narrow-minded attitude.

"Senior Shen, you're too kind."

Lin Mo smiled faintly:

"It was just a trial. Everyone fought by their own merits—no offense was given or taken."

"Now that the trial is over, we're still alumni of the same school, still fellow citizens of Longguo, aren't we?"

Hearing Lin Mo so easily let the matter go,

Shen Jun and Gu Qingge both exhaled inwardly in relief, and their admiration for Lin Mo's magnanimity deepened.

This kind of bearing—this was true strength!

"Senior Lin Mo is right."

Shen Jun nodded vigorously.

Then his expression turned serious as he got to the point.

"Actually, besides apologizing, we came here for another reason."

Shen Jun's eyes flashed with anger as he gritted his teeth:

"We've all heard about the 'Oni Clan' from Yingshuo breaking the record and leaving a taunt."

"I'm a citizen of Longguo—those bastards are audacious!"

"We'd love to go over there and smash their skulls! But unfortunately, we don't yet have the strength."

Shen Jun stared intently at Lin Mo:

"But you, Senior Lin Mo, are different!"

"You have the strength! All of us second-year students are counting on you to crush those Yingshuo bastards' faces and bring glory to Longguo!"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly:

"You don't need to say that—we're planning to head over and challenge their so-called record right after dinner."

"That's great!"

Shen Jun clenched his fists in excitement.

Then he glanced at Gu Qingge beside him and continued:

"This time, those brats didn't just break the record for 'Dragon's Burying Snowfield'—they've also broken the records for 'Buried Bone Desert' and 'Black E Swamp'."

"All three are 25–35 level team dungeons."

At these words,

everyone in the Long Xu Class involuntarily frowned.

Ye Kong sneered:

"Hmph, just three records. Once the class president takes them back one by one, it'll be settled."

Shen Jun glanced at Ye Kong and went on:

"Team dungeon mechanics are complex; to break a record, you must master their intricate systems."

"We second-years have been at Jingda for a year already."

"Even though we only get one 'Space Key Stone' per week, allowing entry into a regular dungeon, and need three weeks to save up for a team dungeon,"

"we've still cleared them many times."

"We've gained some insight into their mechanics."

Shen Jun glanced again at Gu Qingge beside him and said:

"We've compiled detailed notes on the mechanics and key precautions for all three team dungeons. If you need them, Qingge can send them to you."

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask us anytime via the campus communication app."

Hearing this, everyone in the Long Xu Class brightened.

Just moments ago, Han Mengyao had mentioned needing to retrieve data—now the second-years had handed them firsthand combat intelligence, saving them a huge amount of time.

"That's quite thoughtful of you, Senior Shen."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, accepting the gesture.

"Qingge."

Shen Jun gestured slightly.

Gu Qingge stepped forward and pulled out her QR code.

"I… Senior Lin Mo, should I send it to you?"

Lin Mo thought for a moment.

He had no interest in handling such tasks.

"Uh… little Han."

Lin Mo called out casually.

"Here!!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth,

Han Mengqing instantly responded.

Lin Mo turned his head and glanced at her.

"Uh… not you."

"…"

Han Mengqing's expression froze instantly.

"Mengyao, you handle the handover with Senior Gu."

Lin Mo instructed.

"Got it."

Han Mengyao nodded.

Her gaze toward Gu Qingge carried a hint of distaste.

But one doesn't strike a smiling face.

They had come to apologize sincerely, and their own class president hadn't objected.

Han Mengyao naturally wouldn't show her displeasure.

She stood up and scanned Gu Qingge's QR code, and vice versa.

"Thank you, Senior Gu."

"No trouble at all."

Seeing this, Shen Jun spoke up:

"Big Boss Lin Mo, we won't disturb you any further—anytime you need us, just give the word!"

Then,

he bowed deeply.

Gu Qingge followed suit, lowering his head.

"On behalf of all second-year students, we await the Dragon Order Class's good news!"

With that, the two turned and exited the private room.

…

Only after stepping outside did Shen Jun exhale a long, relieved breath.

Gu Qingge recalled the scene inside the room and shook his head with a bitter smile:

"Jun Ge, I never expected Big Boss Lin Mo to be so magnanimous—he didn't care about us at all."

Shen Jun stopped walking and chuckled lightly:

"How could a dragon care about the thoughts of ants?"

"His horizon has long left this campus behind."

…

Inside the luxurious private room.

After Shen Jun and the others had left,

everyone resumed devouring the remaining dishes.

Moments later,

Lin Mo stood up.

"Alright, I'm done eating."

With that,

he glanced around the room, his gaze settling on Han Mengyao and Ye Kong, radiating a lazy yet commanding aura of a true big boss.

"Han Mengyao, Old Ye."

"Yes!"

Both replied.

Lin Mo continued:

"You two, study these three dungeons carefully. I'm going back to catch some sleep."

"We'll deal with everything after I wake up."

With that,

Lin Mo walked out of the private room with effortless grace.

The world is vast, but sleep is supreme.

The members of the Dragon Order Class exchanged glances.

Then, fire ignited in each of their eyes.

"Understood, Class Leader!"
