Chapter 68: This Batch of Skills Is Too Hard to Manage

Jianghai City Central Station.

In this world, the first choice for long-distance travel is almost always the magic train.

It is not that humans cannot build airplanes, but that the sky is filled with all kinds of high-level flying magical beasts, which are extremely dangerous.

In comparison, magic trains equipped with powerful defensive arrays on the ground are actually the safest and fastest means of transportation.

At the station entrance, crowds surged.

Lin Mo had empty hands, not even carrying a backpack.

Su Wan held Lin Mo's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance, and couldn't help but urge:

"Mo'er, don't be stingy when you get there; buy whatever you lack."

Speaking thus, Su Wan took a black card from her bag and stuffed it into Lin Mo's hand.

"Take this card; the password is your birthday."

"There are thirty million Dragon Kingdom currency inside; don't wrong yourself. If you run out, call Mom immediately."

A warm current surged in Lin Mo's heart.

Thirty million... pocket money.

In his previous life, that was a number he wouldn't have dared to dream of.

But in this life, it was just a small token of his mother's worry that he might starve while away from home.

"Thank you, Mom. Rest assured, I'm such a grown-up now; I'll take care of myself."

Lin Mo smiled and put the card away.

Lin Tianhao, standing nearby, also walked up.

He reached out to adjust Lin Mo's collar, his gaze falling on the gleaming badge on Lin Mo's chest.

It was a badge made of pure gold.

Carved upon it was a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon coiled around the sword's edge.

This had been delivered to the Lin family overnight by special escorts last night; it is the exclusive badge of the Long Xu Ban.

Lin Tianhao gently stroked the badge, his tone full of pride:

"Long Xu Ban... good lad, you've really given your father face."

"Son, since you've worked so hard, your old dad can't fall behind either; next, I'm going to the front lines for a stroll."

Lin Mo: "..."

Wait, how did the skill drag even Dad into it?

Looking at the single white hair at Lin Tianhao's temple, Lin Mo felt some worry in his heart and couldn't help but speak up to advise:

"Dad, you're getting on in years; that's enough."

"The front lines are so dangerous; with your old bones, it's safer for you to stay at the rear and command; safety first."

Hearing this, Lin Tianhao's eyes widened:

"Nonsense! What do you mean by 'old bones'?"

He suddenly patted his broad chest and roared with full vigor: "Your father is in his prime! That's the age to fight!"

"You brat, you underestimate your father too much."

"Looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, the number of people who can spar with your father can be counted on one hand!"

Seeing his father in this state, Lin Mo sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright, you're the most powerful; you are the Thunder War God."

"Then take care and don't be too reckless."

There was no way.

After so many years, he knew his father's personality best.

Once he decided on something, nine oxen couldn't pull him back.

However, there was one thing Dad said correctly: his strength is indeed among the top tier in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Lin Tianhao laughed heartily, then looked at Ye Hongyu standing nearby:

"Hongyu, you don't need to follow me for this period; take a holiday, rest well, and improve yourself."

Ye Hongyu nodded, then turned her gaze to Lin Mo, her eyes carrying a hint of reluctance and respect:

"Young Master, have a smooth journey."

"Rest assured, Ye Jie."

Lin Mo smiled and nodded, then waved to the three of them: "Alright, Dad, Mom, Ye Jie, go back; the train is about to leave."

Having said this, Lin Mo turned and walked stylishly toward the entrance.

Watching his son's upright back disappear at the end of the passage.

Su Wan's eyes reddened slightly:

"Old Lin, our son has really grown up..."

"Yes, a young eagle must eventually spread its wings."

Lin Tianhao took a deep breath. "Let's go; let's head back."

Inside the station hall.

There were indeed many people heading to the capital, forming a long dragon.

Lin Mo stood in line obediently, shuffling forward slowly with the crowd.

Just then,

a staff member in uniform walked over.

He was merely conducting a routine patrol, his gaze scanning the crowd at random.

Suddenly,

he saw the badge on Lin Mo's chest and froze in shock.

"This is..."

The staff member rubbed his eyes hard, looking again in disbelief.

Under the station lights, the badge made of pure gold, featuring a five-clawed golden dragon, shone brilliantly.

Long Xu Ban!

The most outstanding prodigy of the younger generation in Long Guo!

The staff member quickly adjusted his collar and hurried over to Lin Mo:

"Hello, may I ask if you are... a new student of Long Xu Ban?"

Lin Mo paused for a moment and stopped walking.

"Yeah, that's right. Something wrong?"

"Hahaha, Long Xu Ban has a special passage. Follow me."

The staff member's face was plastered with a flattering smile as he made a 'please' gesture.

"Hmm? There's such a thing?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, then followed the staff member toward the other side.

Hearing the commotion, the people queuing around them turned to cast envious glances.

"Long Xu Ban? My god, it's really him. I'm seeing a True Person..."

"I've only seen that badge on TV. Good heavens, it's so shiny, truly magnificent!"

"Sigh, if my son could get into Long Xu Ban, I'd benefit from it too."

"Stop dreaming. Get in line quickly. Don't think about such nonsense."

Under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo swaggered into the empty special passage.

The passage was spacious and bright.

Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh:

"Indeed, privilege is vulgar, but once you use it, you know. It's truly delightful..."

The waiting platform.

The all-silver-white "Aurora" Magic-Propelled Train stood quietly parked beside the platform.

Following the instructions on his ticket, Lin Mo arrived at a luxury carriage of the train.

The ticket in his hand had also been delivered by the Long Xu Ban specialist last night when he gave the badge.

The carriage space was extremely large.

Every four seats formed a group, facing each other in pairs, with a large table in the middle.

All the seats were genuine leather sofas with massage and adjustment functions, offering extreme comfort.

At this moment, the carriage was still empty.

Lin Mo walked to the four-seat area belonging to him.

On the table sat an exquisite fruit platter with snacks, along with the day's newspaper and several latest professional magazines.

"This environment is quite good."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and sat in the window seat.

He glanced at the seats opposite and beside him.

"Four seats..."

"Does this mean that besides me, there are three other Long Xu Ban classmates on this trip?"

At the same time,

'Earth Shield Technique' also began to stir.

【'Earth Shield Technique' poked its head out excitedly: Wow! Is this the train to Jingdu? It's so big! Master, Master, is Jingdu very fun?】

Seeing this look of someone who had never seen the world, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Of course. Jingdu is the heart of Long Guo; it must be much more fun than Jianghai City."

【'Fireball Technique' snorted coldly: Country bumpkin, all you know is play, play, play! Going to Jingdu is for better resources and stronger monsters! This Seat wants to level up and carve out a territory in Jingdu!】

Lin Mo rubbed his brow and soothed them: "Alright, alright, Hearing Xiao Huo, don't rush. We'll talk once we settle down in Jingdu."

【'Fireball Technique' agreed: Fine, then let those monsters live a couple more days.】

Having said that, Fireball Technique looked again at the skill bar next door.

【'Fireball Technique': Third Brother! Listen to this Seat! Once we reach Jingdu, this Seat will definitely develop a single-target skill stronger than yours! Just wait and see!】

Lin Mo nodded with gratification.

"That's more like it, Hearing Xiao Huo."

"Knowing shame and then becoming brave—that's the big brother I know who wants to become an Archmage! Keep up this momentum; I have high hopes for you!"

【'Lightning Strike Technique' spoke in a lazy and cold tone: Oh. Boring.】

That tone made it clear that it completely looked down on Fireball Technique's current damage output and didn't consider Fireball Technique a rival at all.

Seeing Fireball Technique's face turning red with suppressed anger, Lin Mo couldn't help but offer some advice:

"Little Lei, don't be so aloof either."

"He's so passionate. Even if you don't encourage him with a few words, don't be so perfunctory. It really dampens team morale."

【【Thunder Strike Technique' fell silent for a moment: I'm going to sleep.】

"..."

Lin Mo's corner of the mouth twitched wildly.

My heart is so tired; this generation of skills is too hard to handle.
