Quick! Find me some dragon meat to tide me over!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once arrogant voice of the small fireball now sounded weak and drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo rubbed his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gurgle—gurgle—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hungry too—felt like he could eat an entire ox right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head toward his mother, Su Wan, “Mom… let’s save the emotional talk for later—I’m about to pass out from hunger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we get something to eat first? Preferably high-calorie, high-fire-element food—I need to replenish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Su Wan immediately switched to a brisk, no-nonsense expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat! Absolutely eat! I’ll have our five-star chef team start cooking right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want? Dragon meat? Kirin arm? Or Deep-Sea Flame Marrow Soup? Whatever you crave, Mom will get it for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Tianhao turned his head toward the direction where Zhao Lei’s convoy had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind stirred the coat draped over his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph! That old bastard Zhao Lei…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just seeing his face earlier made me furious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still no word from Mo’er, and he already brought his whole team—as if he were certain Mo’er was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t expect Mo’er to be this badass, did you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a lifetime of rivalry, you really thought you could win one against your own son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao let out a cold snort, then turned to Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo’er! Since you’ve got such talent and are so hardworking, we can’t waste it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao waved his hand grandly and declared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve decided! Tonight, I’m mobilizing the City Defense Force’s Third Special Battalion!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This entire stretch of rocky wasteland, plus the nearby training zones—all sealed off tonight! Have them lure monsters, weaken them, then leave them for you to finish off!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re not going home tonight—we’re grinding all night! We must crush Zhao Yu underfoot before the big exam and break Zhao Lei and his father’s arrogance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo had just been imagining his dragon meat feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, he froze solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All-night grinding?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just finished the Abyss dungeon—do they think I’m a donkey from the commune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo was about to object, to voice his basic human need for sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Mo could speak, Su Wan slapped away Lin Tianhao’s hand and glared at him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Tianhao! Are you insane? Mo’er just barely escaped the Abyss dungeon—his mental energy is drained! Are you really going to make him grind all night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want to kill your own son? Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Which matters more: leveling up or your body? No! Absolutely not! Mo’er must go home and sleep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded furiously in his mind, giving his mom a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly! Exactly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who says you don’t need sleep?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』: Sleep? Only weaklings need sleep!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』: After the feast, keep going! I’m destined to become a Forbidden Spell! This is fatigue? Get up and hype!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo stared at the wildly flickering icon of the fireball in his skill bar—exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This little brat might actually pull it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I go home and sleep, wake up to another level—how do I explain that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haha, just kidding—I snuck out again to level up at midnight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will they think I’m crazy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Mo pondered, Lin Tianhao chuckled softly and spoke gently to Su Wan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honey, don’t rush—let me finish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I care about our son too. I know Mo’er’s exhausted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So here’s my idea… we move our big bed out here, set up a temporary base.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Special Battalion lures monsters, weakens them to just a sliver of HP, then brings them right to Mo’er.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo’er just lies comfortably on the bed, taps his finger once to land the final hit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…“\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan paused, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Move the bed to the wilderness? Level while lying down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… this is improper!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan still hesitated, “The wilderness is so harsh—wind, dew, exposure—how can Mo’er sleep well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Mo knew he had to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t avoid it, he might as well enjoy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there’d be a bed, the fireball would handle the fighting, and he could just sleep his fill—no conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo took a deep breath and instantly adjusted his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward, his gaze unwavering, voice firm and resolute:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, Dad’s right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m exhausted. I really want to go home and sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo clenched his fist, “Though I have no grand ambitions, I won’t let my parents be shamed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All-night grinding? Losing a night’s sleep? For the big exam, for the Lin family’s honor—I’ll do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words, paired with that determined gaze, instantly silenced Su Wan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at her son, tears welling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a considerate child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So exhausted already, yet still pushing through training just to give his parents pride!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good… good child…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan’s voice trembled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pulled out a skill book glowing with a yellow-brown light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you have this heart, I won’t stop you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is what I prepared for you this morning—I was going to give it to you when you got home tonight…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan pressed the skill book into Lin Mo’s hands, her voice soft:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Earth-elementary skill I mentioned this morning—【Earth Shield Spell】. You might need it soon. Here, take it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo took the skill book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Skill Book: Earth Shield Spell (Basic)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Effect: Summons an earth-elemental shield to absorb a set amount of physical and magical damage.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New basic skills become available at level 10.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already at 70% of level 7—if the entire Special Battalion helped him level, he’d probably learn it by morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I learn this 【Earth Shield Spell】… I hope it’s a calm, sensible skill… not another hotheaded little brat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo tucked the skill book away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Tianhao turned to his adjutant:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go! Bring the Third Special Battalion here. Also, dismantle Mo’er’s bedroom bed and haul it out—silk quilts, latex pillows, aromatherapy machine… bring everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, notify the kitchen team—take all ingredients and cookware, depart within ten minutes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The adjutant stood there, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped to attention and barked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Commander!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he turned away, he wiped sweat from his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is what a wealthy family is like…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving a bedroom to the wilderness, mobilizing a whole special battalion to lure monsters—utterly ruthless in their luxury!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arranging everything, Lin Tianhao turned to Ye Hong and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongyu, I’m entrusting Mo’er to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Commander!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hong stood at attention and saluted, her eyes sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Lin Mo: “Your mom and I are heading home first. Remember, if you’re truly exhausted, take a rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan also took Lin Mo’s hand and repeated her warnings several times before getting in the car, glancing back with every step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before getting in the car, Lin Tianhao suddenly turned around and shouted to Lin Mo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son! Give it your all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo punched his own chest, then pointed at Lin Tianhao and shouted back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, I’m taking this city’s Top Graduate title—no one, not even Jesus, can stop me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his son’s confident, spirited demeanor, Lin Tianhao and his wife exchanged a smile, their faces filled with pride and relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like our boy didn’t turn out useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey wife, who’s Jesus?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No idea.
