Ring! Ring! Ring!
Just as Lin Mo had carried Ning Xi into her bedroom and placed her on the bed, on the bedside table, Ning Xi's phone suddenly rang at the most inappropriate time.
Ning Xi picked up the call and said a few words.
After hanging up, she said to Lin Mo, "It's my younger brother. He said he came to Listening Rain Pavilion to look for me, and when he found out I quit my job, he got worried."
"Listening Rain Pavilion? Then doesn't that mean he's already downstairs?"
Since he was his brother-in-law, he definitely couldn't be neglected.
So Lin Mo said to Ning Xi, "He came all this way to find you, so he must have something important."
"Let's go down and meet your brother first."
As he spoke, Lin Mo was about to get up, but Ning Xi suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her affectionate gaze quietly fixed on him.
The next second, she gently lifted her head.
Her soft lips pressed against Lin Mo's.
Lin Mo wasn't some righteous gentleman either.
He pushed Ning Xi down beneath him and immediately responded with an even more passionate kiss.
———
A minute later, the two of them went downstairs.
Ning Xi's biological younger brother, Ning Fei, stood at 1.85 meters tall, dressed in black casual wear and sneakers. A bright, handsome young guy.
Standing at the entrance of Qianda Plaza, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
Countless young girls stared at him with longing, instantly boosting the entire plaza's appearance.
Hard to imagine he was still just a high school student.
The moment he saw Ning Xi, Ning Fei immediately ran over.
"Sis!"
It wasn't strange that Ning Fei had eyes only for his sister, even ignoring Lin Mo.
After all, his sister had dropped out of school to work and support his education, covering his food, clothing, and daily needs.
Ning Xi was the brightest light in Ning Fei's life.
Only then did he notice Lin Mo.
Ning Fei recognized him at a glance as the person who had helped him and his sister out at Listening Rain Pavilion last time, so he politely said, "Hello, brother."
Before his words had even settled, Ning Xi said to him, "He's your brother-in-law."
"Bro… brother-in-law?", Ning Fei scratched his head, his face full of surprise.
But he accepted it quickly.
After all, last time at Listening Rain Pavilion, Lin Mo had spent 150,000 to help resolve their problem. Ning Fei had already seen some signs back then.
He immediately changed his words, "Hello, brother-in-law!"
"Haven't eaten yet, right?", Lin Mo said, "Perfect timing, your sister and I were about to go eat. Come with us."
"Alright!"
The three of them entered the plaza, went to a Sichuan restaurant, and after ordering, Ning Xi asked Ning Fei, "Xiao Fei, why did you come?"
"It's Friday, school's out."
As he spoke, Ning Fei looked at Ning Xi with admiration and awe, "Sis, I really couldn't tell, you're actually a gaming genius?"
"That super popular online game right now, 'Divine Oracle,' I've seen you and brother-in-law several times on the game forums. You're both top-ranked players on the leaderboard, right? That's amazing!"
"You know what? A lot of my classmates are playing too. When they heard that Liuli is my sister, they were insanely jealous. Some guys even asked me for your contact info, wanting to chase—uh, I mean, get to know you."
Hearing that, Lin Mo frowned slightly, "So, did you give it to them?"
"Of course not," Ning Fei said, "How could they possibly be worthy of my sister!"
Hearing that, Lin Mo felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Ning Xi found it a bit strange, "You came all this way just to tell me this?"
Ning Fei looked around, then lowered his voice, "Sis, let me tell you something."
"In our class, Li Qian, the class beauty who's always been cold and distant, suddenly asked me this afternoon to be her boyfriend."
"And Liu Haicheng from Class 3, who's always had it out for me, actually knelt down in public today, slapped himself, and apologized to me."
"It just feels like all of a sudden, everyone started treating me with respect and politeness."
Ning Xi frowned slightly, "Mom told me to keep an eye on you. You're not allowed to start dating this early."
"I know, sis," Ning Fei explained, "I'm not telling you this to show off! Don't you think it's strange?"
"When something unusual happens, there's always a reason behind it."
"I know I'm not that charming, so if nothing unexpected happens…"
Ning Fei's eyes burned with intensity, "Sis, someone's probably targeting you."
The moment he said that, Ning Xi and Lin Mo exchanged a glance, both thinking of the same person, "Wang Junjie."
After all, before this, Wang Junjie had used similar methods, involving Lin Mo's ex-girlfriend Su Yingxia, to deal with him.
And in Divine Oracle, the only enemy Lin Mo and Ning Xi had was Wang Junjie.
Hearing the name, Ning Fei looked puzzled, "Wang Junjie?"
"Sis, are you talking about that guy who trained his left brain with his right brain and attacks his brain with his butt?"
'Looks like Wang Junjie is really famous now.'
Even Ning Fei knew about him now.
As he spoke, Ning Fei blamed himself, "It must be because I left comments under those videos about you on the Divine Oracle forums, saying you're my sister, and someone dug me up from that."
"It's all my fault! Back then I just thought it was a game and didn't think it through. I didn't expect it would bring trouble like this."
At that moment, Lin Mo said, "You can't go back to school."
"From today on, stop attending. Come play Divine Oracle with us."
Ning Xi also frowned deeply, "You really can't go back. If it's Wang Junjie, he'll definitely use you as a breakthrough point to deal with us."
"And your situation is too dangerous. Wang Junjie is the kind of person who'll do anything to achieve his goals. He could harm you at any time."
Ning Fei looked dejected, "Then… I'll transfer schools."
"Sis, you've sacrificed so much for me."
"I don't want to give up everything I've worked for until now. I'm in my senior year of high school, it's the most critical year. I want to get into a good university. I want to make something of myself."
"After I graduate, I want to earn a lot of money and let you live a good life."
Lin Mo said, "If the purpose of studying is to make money, then you should come to Divine Oracle even more."
"You can earn money there too."
"Move in with me. I'll order you a set of Divine Oracle equipment later. Register an account tonight."
Lin Mo had already thought about this.
After all, Ning Fei had been one of the top ten strongest players in the Dragon Nation server in his previous life, and Ning Xi's number one general.
One of the very few SS-grade talent users in the entire Dragon Nation server.
The number one assassin in the national server, ID: Shadow.
Lin Mo remembered, 'Ning Fei's SS-grade talent should be skill reset.'
'Kill an enemy using any skill, and all skill cooldowns reset instantly, including the ultimate.'
Because of that, other assassin players would use a full set of skills and then retreat, waiting for cooldowns, since assassins are fragile and shouldn't overextend without burst damage.
But Ning Fei? After one set of skills, everything resets, then he goes again. Infinite resets. Infinite bursts.
Most importantly, Ning Fei's SS-grade talent was evolved later by Ning Xi using a special method.
So even if he entered Divine Oracle earlier, it wouldn't affect him obtaining the SS-grade talent later.
If this had been in the past, even Ning Xi would have thought playing games was a waste of time.
But after these past days fighting alongside Lin Mo in Divine Oracle, her understanding of the game had completely changed.
So this time, Ning Xi, who used to only urge Ning Fei to study hard and improve every day, agreed with Lin Mo and said to Ning Fei, "Listen to Brother Lin Mo. Come with us and enter Divine Oracle."
Ning Fei still hesitated, "But… I've never played games before. I'm afraid I'll drag you down…"
Lin Mo didn't mind, "With two top-ranked players carrying you, what are you worried about?"
"Most people don't get this kind of treatment."
Ning Fei's eyes instantly became clear and determined, "Alright! I'm joining Divine Oracle."
"Then I'll sneak back to the school dorm later to pack my things. The set of clothes my sister bought me last week is still there."
"Don't worry, sis, brother-in-law, I won't let anyone notice."
"No need to go back," Lin Mo said, "Anything you need, just buy new ones."
Having lived frugally for so long, Ning Fei still felt reluctant, "That set of clothes cost over a hundred yuan. And my sister bought it for me. I've only worn it once…"
"I've done summer jobs and winter jobs before. The most I could earn in a day was only eighty yuan. Sis, I know it's not easy for you to make money."
Lin Mo calculated, "Based on my current earning rate, making a hundred yuan probably takes… about 0.2 seconds."
"Yeah, it's pretty hard."
Ning Fei's eyes widened instantly.
He looked at his sister in disbelief.
When he saw the confirming look in her eyes, Ning Fei was completely stunned.
"Divine Oracle… is it really that profitable?"
"As long as you have strength, wealth, status, position, they're all within reach."
Lin Mo's words immediately ignited endless fighting spirit in Ning Fei.
"Alright! I'm entering Divine Oracle!"
"Sis, I'll definitely work hard! Earn a lot of money!"
"I'll make sure you and Mom live a life that everyone envies!"

[Capital of Dragon Nation, Imperial City]
[Tomson Yipin, Villa District]
In a private swimming pool, a girl wearing a sexy swimsuit, with a perfect figure and stunning looks, stepped out of the pool.
She sat by the edge, her fair, slender legs swaying gently, picked up a tablet, and answered a voice call from "Nuwa" of the Divine Kingdom, ["Sister Ling, we've located Liuli's younger brother offline at No. 1 High School in Ning'an City, Jiang Province. We've also followed your instructions and bribed his class's beauty, Li Qian, to get close to him."]
Hearing this, Ling Xue's lips curled slightly, a cunning smile appearing in her eyes.
"Remind that Li Qian, so long as she stabilizes this relationship, once she graduates from university, she can report directly to my Ling Group."
["Don't worry, Sister Ling. Our Ling Group's reputation is known across the entire country. Everyone in Dragon Nation has heard of it. I only told Li Qian that Liuli and her brother are people of our Divine Kingdom. I didn't even say anything else, she threw herself at Liuli's brother on her own."]
Nuwa from the Divine Kingdom said, ["People are realistic. Even a usually reserved and aloof class beauty can't resist the temptation of power and status."]
["But there's one thing I don't understand, Sister Ling. Since Liuli and Rulebound are already part of our Divine Kingdom, why go through all this trouble to secure Liuli's younger brother?"]
Ling Xue let out a cold laugh, "Rulebound can earn tens of millions in a single day. Do you really think someone like him, who doesn't care about money at all, would stay in our Divine Kingdom for a mere monthly salary of two million?"
Looking at the shocking scenes on the tablet, footage circulating among players showing Liuli casting spells to revive all the fallen NPC soldiers, and Rulebound leading an NPC army to annihilate the Chaotic World Guild, Ling Xue's eyes were filled with a sense of crisis.
"In a level-three main city, Rulebound is just a frog at the bottom of a well. But once he reaches a level-two main city, he'll be an eagle in the sky, bound to attract the attention and competition of major guild forces."
"If I want him to remain under my control forever, besides giving him enough status, position, and generous money on the surface, I also need a backup plan in secret."
"Rulebound is flawless, but Liuli is his fatal weakness. As long as we stabilize Liuli through her younger brother offline, then Rulebound will always belong to me, Ling Xue. Even if he grows wings, he won't be able to escape."
