Chapter 212: Boss, Please Stop Your Magic!

In an instant, it was the next morning.

A-1 Villa, Dragon Order Class exclusive villa district.

Sunlight streamed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the soft bed.

Lin Mo opened his eyes half-asleep.

He instinctively stretched, his gaze falling on the panel in his mind.

【Current Level: Lv. 2 (11%)】

"Huh? Another level up?"

Lin Mo looked at the level on the panel and smiled contentedly.

Good.

Leveling up while sleeping—this world probably had no one else like him.

Now, he was eight levels away from awakening a new element at level 40.

He had no idea how many levels it would take to reach the mana threshold required for true transcendent skills.

Level 50? Level 60?

Lin Mo sighed helplessly.

Being overpowered was also a headache.

There wasn't even a single reference case—he was completely feeling his way forward.

"Whatever, why think so much? Let things take their course."

Lin Mo put the thoughts aside.

He opened the system's 【Battle Report Log】.

【【Fireball Shu 】, resentful about being overshadowed in yesterday's battle, went overnight to the 'Crimson Rift' (Lv. 0-35 training zone) to prove it was the true core—and incidentally Tiaoxin ed 【Lightning Strike Shu 】.】

【【Lightning Strike Shu 】, naturally unwilling to yield, also headed to the 'Crimson Rift' to prove itself, aiming to secure more Lightning Element Fragments.】

【【Ice Spike Shu 】, seeing everyone so eager, joined the fray to avoid losing favor.】

【【Earth Shield Shu 】, seeing everyone else ramping up, panicked at the thought of being scolded by its master and hurried after them.】

【The skills naturally began a monster-clearing race in the 'Crimson Rift'!】

【The 'Crimson Rift' ecosystem suffered catastrophic damage; the once-thriving monster population was wiped clean.】

【In the end, 【Lightning Strike Shu 】 claimed first place in the monster-clearing race, 【Ice Spike Shu 】 followed closely in second, 【Fireball Shu 】 narrowly took third, and 【Earth Dunshu 】 comfortably settled at last.】

"Whoa…"

After reading the report, Lin Mo sucked in a sharp breath.

He'd recently learned about the 'Crimson Rift' during his idle moments.

It was a vast area.

Divided into four sections: east, south, west, and north.

This damn thing…

Had his own skills turned it into a monster-free zone?

Lin Mo kept reading.

【【Fireball Shu 】, upon learning it ranked only third, fell into intense resentment and deep anxiety.】

【In the past, first place had always been either its own or 【Lightning Strike Shu 】's—now, with 【Ice Spike Shu 】's arrival, it was shoved straight to third.】

【And 【Fireball Shu 】 knew full well that more new skills were coming; a strong sense of crisis surged within it—it must quickly evolve a more powerful technique, and reclaim the top spot!】

【Though ranked second, 【Ice Spike Shu 】 showed great arrogance and disdain toward 【Lightning Strike Shu 】 at the top.】

【It considered 【Lightning Strike Shu 】's methods too violent, lacking any beauty—just a brute.】

【【Lightning Strike Shu 】 maintained its usual cold, aloof demeanor, ignoring 【Fireball Shu 】's tantrums and 【Ice Spike Shu 】's contempt—pathetic amateurs.】

【As for 【Earth Shield Shu 】, it felt no dissatisfaction with last place—in fact, it was perfectly content.】

【It believed that as long as it clung tightly to its master's leg, just getting to sip the leftovers was the safest, most perfect survival strategy.】

After reading this long string of reports,

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ah…

Indeed, effort meant nothing before absolute talent…

Little Fire was surely the most diligent, most overworked one in the house.

But alas.

Little Thunder and Little Ice were both geniuses.

Poor little Fire.

Still, good thing…

Lin Mo exhaled in relief.

At least this time, Little Fire hadn't been crushed into self-isolation—just a bit anxious.

No big issue.

Anxiety is motivation!

My little household is thriving!

As long as you all keep pushing, sooner or later I'll stand atop the world, lying down as the Ultimate Elemental Grand Mage.

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo smiled contentedly.

He closed the battle report.

Absentmindedly picked up his phone from the bedside.

Dozens of unread messages instantly popped up.

All from the 【Dragon Order Class】 group chat, all frantically @ing him.

"Huh? What's going on? Something happen?"

Lin Mo opened the group chat, scrolled to the top, and began reading the history.

【Strongest Buff Girl—Xiao Han】: "【Confused. pg】【Confused. pg】"

【Strongest Buff Girl—Xiao Han】: "What the hell? We've been in the east of the 'Crimson Rift' for five minutes and haven't seen a single monster. What's going on?"

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "? You guys too?"

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "Xiao Wei and I have been in the west of the 'Crimson Rift' for ten minutes without encountering a single monster."

【Alive Just to Watch the Boss Kill Monsters—Da Wei】: "Damn it, who cleared all the monsters? Is there someone in Jingda even more obsessed than us Dragon Order Class? It's already 4 a. .!"

The group fell silent for a few seconds.

Then,

【Tea-Bearer for Boss Lin—Xiao Zhang】: "North side reporting! Same here—I've been walking for fifteen minutes and haven't seen a single living thing!"

【Big Demon's Personal Accessory—Xiao Pang】: "South side too! We've wandered for half an hour—no monsters, no people."

The group fell silent again.

【Strongest Buff Girl's Real Sister—Da Han】: "Could it be the boss clearing monsters? @Lin Mo."

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "That makes sense! Only the boss is more obsessed than us in all of Jingda! @Lin Mo."

【Alive Just to Watch the Boss Kill Monsters—Da Wei】: "Holy shit!!! Boss, come out and leave us some! @Lin Mo."

【Strongest Buff Girl—Xiao Han】: "@Lin Mo, Boss! Are you going on a massacre?!"

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "@Lin Mo Boss, please, stop your magic! Leave us commoners a little broth to sip!"

【Tea-Bearer for Boss Lin—Xiao Zhang】: "@Lin Mo Boss, Living Father! Please spare the Crimson Rift's ecosystem!"

A flood of @s erupted.

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "【Helpless shrug. pg】."

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "The boss is probably still in the middle of killing—he doesn't even have time to check his phone."

【Strongest Buff Girl—Xiao Han】: "【Crying hysterically. pg】 Even if you're ten thousand times stronger than us, you're also ten thousand times more obsessed! How are we supposed to live? Fine, I'm going back to sleep!"

【Lawyer Who Got Crushed by Lin Mo—Xiao Ye】: "Same here, let the Great Demon train in peace…"

After reading these messages,

Lin Mo was utterly speechless.

"..."

He went to bed at exactly ten every night—his sleep schedule was perfectly healthy.

But…

Lin Mo rubbed his nose.

Strictly speaking, they weren't wrong.

It really was his skills that did it.

If they knew he was fast asleep in bed while his skills went out and nearly exterminated all the monsters in the 'Crimson Rift', what would they think?

Lin Mo shook his head with a wry smile and tapped a few keys on the screen.

Lin Mo: "Hahaha 【sweating. pg】. Slept too hard last night, just woke up and haven't checked my phone yet."

Less than three seconds after sending the message,

the group instantly replied.

【Strongest Buff Girl—Xiao Han】: "Boss! Please, leave us commoners a shred of hope! 【Kneeling and kowtowing. pg】"

"The Fashikexing -Xiao Ye, who was pinned down and humiliated by Lin Mo": "Class monitor... awesome. 【Lying flat. pg】"

Looking at the replies in the group, Lin Mo smiled knowingly.

Lin Mo: "【Pat on the head. pg】 Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time—try to leave you guys some broth."

Sent the message.

Lin Mo tossed his phone aside, threw back the covers, and swung his legs out of bed.

He walked into the bathroom.

Washed his face with cold water, then looked up at his reflection in the mirror.

Droplets slid down his sharply defined cheeks.

Lin Mo's eyes gradually grew sharp.

"Next, I'll reclaim the last record from Yinguo, then go meet the legendary Five Elders."

"And..."

Lin Mo dried the water off his face, a faint smile curling at his lips.

"Dear Dad!"
