[Ding~ Congratulations! You and your teammates Rulebound and Liuli have jointly defeated the Level 70 Tier 5 Boss Black Magician Elder! Rewards: EXP +232 million (Three-player party, guaranteed 70% per person +120% level gap bonus), Reputation +600!]
As the system notification faded...
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Three consecutive beams of golden light Descent onto Zhao Lingyun.
[Ding~ Congratulations! You have reached Level 56...]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You have reached Level 57...]
[Ding~ Congratulations! You have reached Level 58...]
At that moment, Zhao Lingyun's heart raced. She was in complete disbelief.
After all, based on her previous leveling speed, after reaching the level-two main city, leveling had slowed significantly. On average, she could only gain one or two levels a day.
And now, all she had done was kill one Boss.
Counting the time from the foot of the mountain to the summit and then defeating the Boss, it hadn't even taken ten minutes, yet she had gained three levels in a row.
And during the whole process, she had barely done anything herself.
She had been completely carried.
Only now did Zhao Lingyun finally understand.
"While other players are still teaming up to kill level 60 normal monsters, the two of them are already able to instantly kill a level 70 Tier 5 Boss."
"No wonder they're such high levels."
The first kill of a level 70 Tier 5 Boss was naturally worth a great deal.
So Lin Mo reduced the Boss to low HP and let Ning Xi finish it off, allowing her talent's tenfold reward multiplier to activate and multiply the Boss's loot ten times.
Clatter!
Under Ning Xi's tenfold multiplier, a dazzling pile of loot spilled out from the kneeling corpse of the Black Magician Elder.
Gold!
A-rank skill books!
A-rank magic scrolls!
Tier 5 equipment!
Every quantity was multiplied by ten.
In reality, though, the Boss drops were only secondary.
After all, the main purpose of Lin Mo and Ning Xi's trip to Black Wind Mountain was to obtain the Fate Token: Heavenly Might and repair the Divine Might Tower.
So after quickly collecting the Boss's loot, the three of them stepped over the Boss's corpse and entered Black Wind Stronghold.
The deterrent effect of the SSS-rank magic scroll Fatal: Spatial Strangulation had been overwhelming.
The huge stronghold was filled with the corpses of Black Demon Guards and Black Demons that had been shredded apart. There wasn't a trace of life left.
Lin Mo easily found the quest item inside the Black Magician Elder's bedchamber: a token that looked as though it had been forged from fresh blood.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Fate Token: Heavenly Might] (Quest Item)
— Description: As the core lifeline of the Beast Clan's Divine Might Tower, the power contained within Heavenly Might serves as the source that sustains the Divine Might Tower's operation. It can also rapidly repair Divine Might Towers corrupted by the dark power of the Black Demon Clan...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
"Finally got it!", Lin Mo said with satisfaction as he looked at the Fate Token: Heavenly Might in his hand.
Because with the Fate Token: Heavenly Might, he could complete the C-rank hidden quest Repair the Divine Might Tower.
After that, Ning Xi could use the Divine Might Tower to quickly earn Reputation, increase the rewards from the Ten Halls, and obtain the proof for the SSS-rank hidden class advancement.
Of course, Zhao Lingyun deserved much of the credit for successfully obtaining the Fate Token: Heavenly Might tonight.
Without her Ever-Changing controlling the entire battlefield.
The endless Blood Worms summoned by the Black Magician Elder really would have been a troublesome problem for Lin Mo and Ning Xi!
On the way back to the Divine Might Tower after coming down the mountain.
Lin Mo said to Zhao Lingyun, "From now on, you can be a free bird. Fly wherever you want. No one can force you to do things you don't want to do anymore."
Zhao Lingyun understood what Lin Mo meant.
He was saying that he and Ning Xi would both be her strongest support.
Zhao Lingyun nodded, "Lin Mo, Ning Xi, thank you!"
Originally, Lin Mo had planned that if Zhao Lingyun still hadn't logged in tonight, he and Ning Xi would personally make a trip to Zhuzhou, Xiangnan Province, and bring her out.
But now, although Zhao Lingyun had logged in, her situation in real life was still unsafe.
Because Director Zhang had been ruined in Divine Oracle, there was no guarantee he wouldn't go after Zhao Lingyun for revenge at any time.
And then there were Zhao Lingyun's parents, who cared about money more than people.
As long as Zhao Lingyun stayed with them, they would always be a threat.
So Lin Mo said to Zhao Lingyun, "Move out as soon as you can. Don't stay in that house anymore."
Clearly, Zhao Lingyun had already thought about doing that.
After all, rather than calling it a home, it would be more accurate to call it a prison that had confined Zhao Lingyun for twenty years!
But she said sadly, "If I leave home... where can I go?"
At that moment, Ning Xi said, "Sister Ling'er, why don't you move here to Ning'an in Jiang Province and live with Brother Lin Mo and me?"
Lin Mo continued, "We happen to have one spare room here, if you're willing."
Without even thinking, Zhao Lingyun nodded repeatedly, tears of joy filling her eyes, "Okay! I'd love to!"
"To avoid any unexpected problems, leave tonight," Lin Mo said, "I'll book you a flight for tonight. Xiao Xi and I will pick you up at the airport when you get here."
Having lived her entire life like thin air, like a puppet.
It was the first time Zhao Lingyun had ever been valued this much, and she was overwhelmed.
"It's okay. You don't have to come pick me up. Just give me the address, and I'll take a taxi there myself when I arrive."
"How could we do that?", Ning Xi smiled, "Sister Ling'er was the biggest contributor to tonight's quest. We have to welcome Sister Ling'er properly."
Lin Mo said, "Then head back to the city and log off first. Go home, pack your things, and get ready. Contact us if anything comes up."
As he spoke, Lin Mo, Ning Xi, and Zhao Lingyun added each other on WeChat.
On the way back to the city, Zhao Lingyun looked forward to the future, feeling happier than ever.
For the first time, she felt that life could be this wonderful.
"Come on, Zhao Lingyun!"
"You can definitely achieve your dreams with your own hands!"
After returning to Inferno City, Zhao Lingyun logged off.

[At the Same Time, Elsewhere]
Lin Mo and Ning Xi headed straight for the Divine Might Tower.
After making quick work of the Black Demons lurking within the ring of black mist surrounding the Divine Might Tower.
The two of them passed through the mist and entered the tower.
There, they met up with the Beast Clan Grand Mage, Wuna.
When Wuna saw the Fate Token: Heavenly Might in Ning Xi's hand, she was obviously happy.
"The Black Demon Clan is incredibly powerful. Especially that Black Magician Elder in Black Wind Stronghold. His Blood Fiend technique that refines Blood Worms has caused countless brave Beast Clan warriors to die in the Black Wind Mountain Range while trying to recover the Fate Token: Heavenly Might."
"I never imagined you would actually be able to bring the Fate Token: Heavenly Might back from Black Wind Stronghold for us."
As soon as she finished speaking, a pleasant system notification sounded for Ning Xi.
