Tired? Hurt at all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see your clothes aren’t even dusty—Hongyu protected you well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo shrugged and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, I just went to level up, not to war—how could I get hurt? Besides, with Sister Ye around, I’m perfectly safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Safe is good, safe is good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan nodded contentedly, then pulled Lin Mo toward the dining room:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starved, right? I specifically told the kitchen to prepare a full table of dishes—all made exactly to your morning request, maximum fire element!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect, I’m starving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyes lit up, and he obediently followed his mother into the dining room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the dining room, the five-meter-long table was piled high with an array of exquisite dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight’s menu was entirely red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sautéed Crimson Flame Dragon Liver], [Magma Core Fruit Salad], [Flame Rhino Spine Soup], [Lotus Fire Roast Whole Lamb]…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire dining room was filled with a hot, rich aroma; just inhaling made it feel like a fireball had been swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao was already seated at the head of the table; seeing Lin Mo enter, he grinned and waved:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come, come, Mo’er, sit here with Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Lin Mo sat down, the little fireball began roaring wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Spell’ eyes gleaming, drooling everywhere: Eat eat eat! Hurry up! That’s dragon liver! I want it! Shove it in your mouth!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mood: Extreme Hunger (wishes it had a mouth of its own)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s lips twitched; he picked up his chopsticks, pinched a piece of dragon liver, and slowly blew on the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the rush? Don’t you know it’s hot?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mentally replied, then elegantly took a small bite, chewing slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Spell’ hopping mad: Hot? Pfft! I’m a fireball! Do I fear heat? Are you even a man? Eat big bites! Stop dawdling—you’re driving me crazy!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo ignored the furious little fireball and savored his meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the high-purity fire-element food entered his body, he felt a warm current continuously nourishing the restless fireball within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the table, the atmosphere was warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan turned to Ye Hongyu beside her and smiled: “Hongyu, you’ve worked hard today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just checked Mo’er’s level—he’s already Lv.5. Two levels in one day—you must be exhausted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she pulled a golden card from her bag and handed it over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a VIP card for a gear shop I own. You should upgrade your equipment—it’s just a small token from me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu did not reach out to take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bowed slightly, her tone respectful yet firm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady, I deeply appreciate your kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But my current gear suits me perfectly—I have no need to replace it. Besides, protecting the Young Master is my duty, and a direct order from the Commander—I truly feel unworthy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just take it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao’s face hardened, feigning sternness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough nonsense! My wife’s words are orders! And if a Lin family soldier goes out looking shabby, it’s my reputation that suffers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Commander’s expression, Ye Hongyu finally accepted the golden card with both hands and carefully stored it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Ye Hongyu took a deep breath, her expression turning complex:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, Lady, you’ve misunderstood something. Today, the Young Master leveled up so fast because he’s exceptionally skilled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, then added: “Without the Young Master’s extraordinary technique, no matter how many monsters I lured, the efficiency could never have been this high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, the dining room fell silent for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao and Su Wan exchanged a glance, blinking as if they’d misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blank mage—how impressive could he possibly be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Lin Tianhao knew Ye Hongyu well—she was a fiercely proud subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her to seriously call someone “exceptionally skilled” meant it was no ordinary compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan, unaware of the context, assumed Ye Hongyu was flattering Lin Mo and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongyu, I know you’re loyal and want to make Mo’er look good—but let’s be honest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu took another deep breath and said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Commander, Lady, I’m not exaggerating. The Young Master is, without doubt, the most gifted mage I’ve ever seen or heard of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Mo instinctively pulled his neck back, his cheeks warming slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be so earnestly praised as “the most gifted” to his face—even with his thick skin—made him feel a flicker of embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d just spent the day playing a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, cheating counts as talent, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most gifted?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao set down his chopsticks, his expression turning serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hongyu, explain properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Ye Hongyu—she was blunt, honest, and would never lie to flatter her superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu didn’t answer; instead, she pulled out her phone from her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Words mean nothing, Commander, Lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a video I recorded this afternoon in the Dark Woods. Watch it—you’ll understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tapped the screen and turned her phone toward Lin Tianhao and Su Wan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video lasted only a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining room was utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lin Mo’s slightly awkward chewing echoed loudly in the still air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo stole a glance at his parents’ expressions, his toes frantically digging into his shoes, wishing he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment right then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Social death…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So damn socially dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because he’d shown his power—it was that one phrase, “I’ve got big,” that felt like public execution!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sister Ye, if you’re going to record a video, can’t you at least warn me first?\u003C\u002Fp>",1079,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c4d7d1ae2081d66759ae8ebafad9f9332b4e627482169ef16bc39059e385dab9","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-8","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-6",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
