Chapter 371

On the other side.

The Luofu.

Lin Mo's room.

Lin Mo, who had returned, stood in the courtyard, rubbed his waist, and sighed in his heart.

"I still need to get a good rest this afternoon."

"Ding-dong."

Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, his phone suddenly vibrated again.

Lin Mo looked down and found it wasn't from Guinaifen or Sushang, but from Jingliu.

[Jingliu]: "I have something to busy myself with this afternoon, so I won't be coming over. Of course, if I'm free in the evening, I can come over."

Seeing Jingliu's message, Lin Mo replied immediately: "No problem, I won't be here in the evening either."

"Ding-dong!"

Just as Lin Mo finished sending the message, the phone vibrated again.

He took a look; it was from Qingque.

[Qingque]: "Hi hi hi, Lin Mo, do you have time? Want to come play cards? Three missing one!"

[Qingque]: "I can wait for you too."

Lin Mo: "........"

Looking at the message from Qingque, the corner of Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

He then replied simply: "Have you finished your work?"

[Qingque]: "Yeah, finished it."

[Qingque]: "Are you free?"

[Qingque]: "Just"

[Qingque]: "Work is so leisurely today too."

[Qingque]: "Let's chat first."

[!!! Your friend Qingque has gone offline]

[Lin Mo]: "??????"

[Lin Mo]: "Didn't you say your work was finished? Why did you go offline?"

[Lin Mo]: "It's only noon, and you're already off work?"

[!!! Your friend Qingque has come online]

[Qingque]: "Someone was behind me just now."

[Qingque]: "You know."

[Lin Mo]: "..."

Seeing the message from Qingque, Lin Mo's eyelids twitched.

[Lin Mo]: "What would happen if you were seen?"

[Qingque]: "I don't know."

[Qingque]: "Because I won't be caught."

[Qingque]: "Hehe, impressive, right?"

[!!! Your friend Qingque has gone offline]

[Lin Mo]: "....."

[!!! Your friend Qingque has come online]

[Qingque]: "I'm here!"

[!!! Your friend Qingque has gone offline]

[!!! Your friend Qingque has come online]

[!!! Your friend Qingque has gone offline]

[Lin Mo]: "..."

Seeing Qingque's notifications, Lin Mo's eyelids twitched violently.

Qingque was really jumping back and forth on the edge of life and death.

[Lin Mo]: "You should just work."

Shaking his head, Lin Mo prepared to turn off his phone.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong."

[!!! Your friend Qingque has gone offline]

[Qingque]: "This time I'm really here!"

[Qingque]: "I've come out, same place as yesterday, hehe."

[Qingque]: "Do you have time? Come play cards."

Looking at the three consecutive messages from Qingque, Lin Mo's expression was strange.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo typed to ask.

[Lin Mo]: "Is there anything unusual at the Divination Commission lately? Many places have Cloud Knights patrolling under martial law, and I even heard that the Nameless from the Astral Express arrived; did they go to your Divination Commission?"

[Qingque]: "Ah? Astral Express Nameless? What's that, I have no impression of it."

[Qingque]: "But although martial law is in effect, I don't feel anything special; anyway, it hasn't affected the Divination Commission."

[Qingque]: "With the Master Diviner there, although Master Diviner is small, she is very capable; I believe the current crisis on the Luofu doesn't need Master Diviner to step in."

[Qingque]: "By the way, I'll tell you a secret; a few days ago, Master Diviner seemed to follow the General's orders and ran out once, heading toward the Jade Gate, and even fought someone."

[Qingque]: "I don't know who it was, but it caused quite a stir at the time; I saw that when Master Diviner came back, a corner of her clothes had burn marks."

[Qingque]: "Sigh, it's really dangerous now; I just run between Exalting Sanctum and the Divination Commission."

Qingque spoke like she had opened a chatterbox, spilling everything like beans.

Seeing the message from Qingque, Lin Mo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The Divination Commission, such a thing actually happened.

Fu Xuan personally took action at the Jade Gate; was it because of the investigation into the Stellaron?

Or did she fight the Stellaron Hunters?

That shouldn't be.

Lin Mo fell into deep thought.

Immediately, after chatting with Qingque some more, Lin Mo went out and headed to the place he had agreed to meet Qingque.

Which was the place where he met Qingque yesterday.

"Hehe, Lin Mo, Lin Mo."

When Lin Mo arrived, he saw Qingque already waiting there.

Seeing Lin Mo arrive, Qingque waved excitedly.

Beside Qingque were two other women wearing robes.

"Hmm? When did Qingque get to know an outworlder?"

"This outworlder seems unusual; the aura on him is very special."

When Lin Mo walked over, Qingque's two friends looked at Lin Mo, felt secretly shocked, looked at each other, and exchanged glances.

"Come, come, come, perfect, we can play Celestial Jade."

Looking at Lin Mo walking over, Qingque chuckled: "By the way, Lin Mo, you don't know how to play Celestial Jade, right? I'll teach you."

Qingque's voice was full of excitement and enthusiasm.

When she met Lin Mo yesterday and chatted briefly, Lin Mo didn't know how to play Celestial Jade.

Qingque was naturally tireless when it came to teaching beginners, especially Lin Mo, who had left a deep impression on her.

"Okay."

Hearing Qingque's words, Lin Mo nodded gently.

"Okay."

Lin Mo responded simply and frankly, his attitude making Qingque feel even more relaxed.

Immediately, Qingque began to explain the meaning of each tile in detail, her fingers sliding gently over the tiles, her fingertips conveying her love and respect for the game.

"This tile represents going first, and this one symbolizes passing..."

Her explanation was clear and patient, trying to express every rule in simple language so that Lin Mo could easily understand.

Lin Mo listened intently, his brow occasionally showing a thoughtful look, and every time he understood a new concept, his eyes would light up with a gleam.

With Qingque's teaching, Lin Mo gradually grasped the essence of the game; he began to be able to predict his opponent's strategy and even tried to formulate his own way of playing.

Seeing Lin Mo learn from his mistakes time and time again and then gradually improve, a sense of indescribable satisfaction and achievement surged in Qingque's heart.

Every time Lin Mo successfully applied the techniques she taught, her smile would become even brighter; she knew this was her proud moment as a mentor.

"You learn really fast," Qingque praised, her tone full of encouragement and appreciation.

Lin Mo smiled and replied: "It's all because you taught me well, Qingque."

In this process, the relationship between the two also became closer without them realizing it.

As time passed, Lin Mo not only learned the basic rules of Celestial Jade but also began to try playing against Qingque.

Although he was at a disadvantage at first, he was soon able to pose a certain challenge to Qingque.

Watching Lin Mo play more and more skillfully, a flash of appreciation and satisfaction crossed Qingque's eyes.

She knew that Lin Mo had truly begun to enjoy the game, and this joy became the deepest satisfaction in her heart.

And Lin Mo, seeing that he kept losing, shook his head gently.

He realized that this rate of progress was far from enough; he needed a more direct and effective way.

Panel, activate!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mo decisively activated the panel and copied the board game ability on Qingque's panel.

Now that his panel had nearly a thousand influence points, copying a Qingque ability was just a drop in the bucket.

Immediately, a light only Lin Mo could see flew out from Qingque's body, like a falling star, and merged into Lin Mo's body.

Lin Mo felt a brand new knowledge base pouring into his mind; it was all of Qingque's board game knowledge and experience, including her strategies, techniques, and understanding of the game.

All of this instantly became a part of him.

Lin Mo closed his eyes, deeply feeling how this newly acquired knowledge merged and settled in his mind.
