Chapter 322: What Did Big Brother Two Just Say!?

Earth Shield looked at Wind Blade, its gaze deep.

In Wind Blade's eyes, a glow of admiration ignited.

【"Wow…"】

【"Big Brother Two is amazing!"】

【"Little Wind doesn't understand…"】

Upon hearing this, Earth Shield snorted coldly.

【"Idiot!"】

【"What Big Brother Two wants to tell you is that the confusion you're feeling now, I've been through too."】

【"As long as you work hard."】

【"What you deserve will come."】

【"Big Brother Two, Big Brother One, Third Brother, Fourth Sister."】

【"All of us old-timers went through this."】

Wind Blade's gaze grew resolute.

It nodded firmly.

【"Little Wind remembers!"】

【"Little Wind will definitely work hard!"】

【"What you deserve will come!"】

Lin Mo listened to the dialogue in his skill bar.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Damn.

This little earth.

Now it's learned to self-PUA?

This ability to hand out empty promises.

This skill in brewing chicken soup.

This tone of seniority and hierarchy.

Who did it learn this from?

…

Yan Lie watched as row after row of green lights lit up, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Good."

He spoke slowly into the microphone.

"I now announce."

"Regarding Lin Mo's appointment as Chairman of the Dragon Nation Mage Association's Youth Association."

"All senior leaders and council members."

"Unanimously approved."

Yan Lie stood up, his voice booming.

"Starting today."

"Lin Mo is our Dragon Nation Mage Association Youth Association's… Chairman!"

The words fell.

The entire hall erupted.

"Chairman Lin Mo!!!"

"Chairman Lin Mo!"

"Chairman Lin Mo!"

"Chairman Lin Mo!"

A tidal wave of shouts instantly filled the entire council chamber.

The voices brimmed with the passion and fervor of youth.

"Chairman Lin Mo is awesome!"

"Chairman Lin Mo is definitely the strongest chairman in Youth Association history!"

The front-row senior leaders also rose to their feet.

Lu Chen sighed.

"Fuck."

"I've never admired many people in my life."

"Yan Lie is one."

"Now there's another."

Chen Feng shook his head.

"Can't deny it."

"Eighteen years old, Level 46, Four-Element Mage King, Youth Association Chairman."

"Any one of those achievements alone would be enough for someone to brag about for life."

"And they're all crammed into one person."

…

Lin Mo stood at the center of the hall.

Listening to the roaring cheers around him.

He raised his hand and gently pressed down.

Instantly, the entire council chamber fell silent.

Lin Mo turned and walked back to his seat, beside Yan Lie.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo.

"Chairman Lin."

"Do you have anything to say to everyone?"

Lin Mo plopped down, waving his hand.

"Nope. Let everyone go."

"I've got real business to attend to."

Hearing this, Yan Lie paused, stunned.

Then he chuckled helplessly.

"Alright, everyone, you're dismissed."

…

Fang Wen slowly stood up.

After treatment, his wounds had mostly healed.

He walked over to Lu Chen and Chen Feng.

"Let's go."

Lu Chen clapped him on the shoulder.

"You okay?"

Fang Wen gave him a look.

"Not dead."

"Just a bit embarrassing."

Lu Chen shook his head.

"Embarrassing? Why?"

"Did you see anyone laughing in the whole hall?"

Chen Feng added:

"What's embarrassing? Everyone knows your strength, Fang Wen."

"It's just that Lin Mo is fucking strong."

"Anyone else up there would've gotten the same result."

…

People began to leave one by one.

Soon.

The vast council chamber was left with only Yan Lie and Lin Mo.

Lin Mo leaned back in his chair, rolling his neck.

"Finally, some peace."

Yan Lie gave a light laugh.

"How's it feel? Being Chairman?"

Lin Mo waved his hand.

"What's there to feel?"

"It's just a title, isn't it?"

Yan Lie raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?"

"Just a title?"

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Yan Lie.

"Speaking of which."

"By the way."

"What resources does the Youth Association have? Let me see."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie laughed.

"Just check it yourself—it's all in the Youth Association app."

"Is that so?"

Lin Mo pulled out his phone and opened the Youth Association app.

This app had just been downloaded for him by Yan Lie earlier, on the way to this meeting hall.

Lin Mo flipped through it casually.

Mostly materials, skill books, and equipment.

These were indeed good items, but they seemed useless to him?

After all, anything you could buy with money wasn't a problem.

Yan Lie watched Lin Mo's expression.

"These?"

"They're resources allocated by higher-ups—I think you won't need any of them."

Lin Mo nodded.

"True."

"I don't lack much of what's available on the market."

Yan Lie smiled and changed the subject.

"The real treasures aren't here."

"Then where are they?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo and said:

"Didn't Old Feng mention it to you before?"

"The Association isn't just a place that hands out benefits."

"It's a circle."

"The real treasures are exchanged."

"Or rather, they're traded through favors."

After hearing this, Lin Mo nodded as well.

True.

The top-tier resources could never circulate on the open market.

They only flowed within small circles.

Or were given as tokens of favor.

"Speaking of which."

Yan Lie's lips curled slightly. "Someone gave me a good item yesterday—I think you'll need it."

"What kind of item?"

Lin Mo asked instinctively.

Yan Lie smiled:

"Didn't you learn a new wind-based skill?"

Hearing this,

Lin Mo immediately understood.

"Wind element fragment?"

"Exactly."

Yan Lie nodded.

Then he flipped his hand.

A fragment emitting a pale green glow appeared in his palm.

Light shimmered across its surface.

The air around them stirred slightly, stirred by the glow.

Lin Mo's pupils contracted slightly.

Damn it!

He was exactly missing this!

In his skill bar,

"Earth Shield" suddenly turned toward "Wind Blade."

【"Brother Five!"】

【"Did you see that!!!"】

【"What did Second Brother just say!!!"】

"Wind Blade" stared blankly at the pale green fragment.

From its glow, it felt an instinctive, deep longing.

【"Second Brother…"】

【"Second Brother!"】

【"Little Wind will work hard! He won't let Second Brother or the Master down!"】

……

Lin Mo looked at the wind element fragment in Yan Lie's hand and asked curiously:

"Don't you need it?"

"If I remember right, you're dual-element wind and fire, right?"

"This wind element fragment should be valuable to you too."

Yan Lie smiled and shook his head.

"Yes."

"I do need this fragment."

"But…"

"I heard from Old Feng that you absorb element fragments perfectly every time."

"If I used it, I couldn't be sure I'd absorb it perfectly on the first try—I'd probably waste it."

"So I thought it best to give it to you."

Lin Mo fell silent for a moment.

"Then what do you need? I'll trade with you?"

His tone was serious.

Lin Mo disliked accepting favors without return.

Fair exchange was the only lasting way.

Yan Lie looked at Lin Mo's serious expression and waved his hand with a smile:

"I don't actually need anything right now—let it stand as a debt."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"You're sure?"

Yan Lie smiled.

"Sure."

"Captain of the Dragon Order Class, Guardian Dragon Envoy, Major General of Long Country, Chairman of the Youth Association of the Long Country Mage Association, son of the War God Lin Tianhao…"

"This favor is worth it."

"…."

Hearing Yan Lie recite that long list of titles,

Lin Mo's lip twitched.

After two seconds of silence, Lin Mo reached out and took the wind element fragment, smiling:

"Alright, then I won't refuse."

"Thanks."

At that moment,

Yan Lie's phone vibrated.

He pulled it out and glanced at it.

Then he looked at Lin Mo again.

"Alright, Lin Mo, Feng Lao is here."

"You said you wanted to forge a Forbidden-class exclusive weapon, right? Feng Lao said he'll escort you personally."

Upon hearing this,

Lin Mo frowned.

"Escort?"

"That's unnecessary."

"It's just forging a personal weapon, not going to war."

Yan Lie shook his head, his expression serious.

"It is necessary."

He looked at Lin Mo.

"Your performance on the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield was too dazzling; the Adams family is very likely to take action."

Yan Lie's gaze sharpened.

"Although the Tian Shu Bureau recently eliminated many spies lurking within Long Country's borders,"

"no one can be sure if any remain at large."

"It's not the one-in-ten-thousand you fear—it's the one-in-a-million."

"Your safety cannot afford the slightest lapse."

Yan Lie stared at Lin Mo.

"Feng Lao is our Long Country's Wind Supreme. With him beside you, not even Adams family spies would dare act—let alone their high-ranking elites."

After listening, Lin Mo shrugged.

"Fine."

He himself didn't mind.

Having a senior around was fine.

Extra safety never hurt.
