After receiving Ling Xue's huge transfer, Lin Mo didn't refuse.
After all, when he joined the Divine Nation guild, he never truly intended to contribute to it.
["Thank you, President Ling."]
Ding!
Ling Xue replied, ["Don't call me President Ling anymore, it feels so distant! Just call me Ling Xue, or Xiao Xue!"]
[Lin Mo: "Alright, President Ling."]
Ling Xue: "What a blockhead…"
———
Next, Lin Mo continued guarding the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena.
At first, players still held onto a bit of luck, stepping up to challenge Lin Mo, hoping for that 1% chance to defeat him.
But as Lin Mo kept winning again and again, cutting down anyone who stood in his way, everyone grew fearful.
Soon, almost no one dared to challenge Lin Mo anymore.
So it directly entered a bye state.
For every one minute without a challenger, Lin Mo automatically gained one win.
But gaining one win per minute was too slow.
"There needs to be challengers to speed up the streak."
This wasn't a problem for Lin Mo at all.
He directly sent Qin Feng a message, asking him to spend money to hire "actors" to challenge him.
"Brothers and sisters, whoever goes to the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena in the Demon Hall dungeon to challenge Rulebound, win or lose, I'll give them 5000 yuan per attempt."
As soon as Qin Feng shouted this in Inferno City's plaza, the scene in the crowd was spectacular.
Actor A: "Bro! I don't need 5000! Give me 4000 and I'll do it! And I guarantee a flawless performance, the system won't detect any holding back."
Actor B: "I only need 3000! Let me go! I graduated from Jingda Film Academy! Professional performance!"
Actor C: "What is this, price competition? You guys are ruining the market! I despise people like you who have no professional ethics for money."
Actor C (switching tone): "Brother, pick me! I only need 2000 to act!"
In the end, the actors themselves set the price at 3000 per person.
For Lin Mo, it was guaranteed profit.
Because even for the last dungeon ticket, which required a hundred-kill streak, one hundred actors would only cost 300,000.
Spending 300,000 to earn 5 million, huge profit.
With the help of these actors, Lin Mo's kill streak speed skyrocketed.

Inside the Demon Hall dungeon—
Seeing that a large number of Demon Turtles had already approached the hall, fortunately, at this moment, the thirty-minute time limit had passed.
The challenge was completed.
At this time, He Xiao said in the five-person private group, "Alright everyone, time to reveal results again! I killed 85 Demon Turtles! What about you?"
Zhao Jun: "94."
Ling Xue: "130."
Zhao Jun and Ling Xue's answers dealt two blows to He Xiao in a row.
He placed his final hope on Lin Miaomiao, "What about our healer?"
Lin Miaomiao: "541…"
He Xiao: "How many?"
He Xiao: "Wait, what? Did you poison your heals or something?!"
Lin Miaomiao: "I don't know either! I barely did anything, I just watched Liuli one-shot each turtle with a normal attack."
Zhao Jun: "One-shotting Level 52 dungeon monsters with basic attacks? Liuli is actually this strong!?"
Sun Yang: "LOL, now that I'm not here, no one's at the bottom for you anymore @He Xiao"
Liuli's kill count shocked even Ling Xue.
And at this moment, she seemed to finally understand something.
'So it seems, the only thing Liuli has over me is strength.'
'And Lin Mo is probably someone who admires strength. If I can become stronger than Liuli, then in Lin Mo's eyes, Liuli will lose her only advantage.'
Ling Xue's gaze carried an unclear meaning.
[Announcement (Inferno City): "Ding~ Congratulations to players Ming Yuexin, Liuli, Divine Nation Donghuang Taiyi, Divine Nation Nüwa, Divine Nation Erlang Shen for clearing the Demon Hall dungeon! As the first team in Inferno City to clear the dungeon, each member receives first-clear rewards: Gold +200, Reputation +200, Purple Title · Demon Hall Envoy +1, First-Clear Gift Pack +1!"]
As soon as the announcement was made, the entire city erupted.
It also pushed the Divine Nation guild's popularity to new heights.
By the time Ling Xue and the others cleared the dungeon, Lin Mo had already finished all his PK matches, obtaining a total of ten dungeon tickets.
After all, with Qin Feng's hired actors, Lin Mo averaged less than three seconds per fight. The efficiency was no joke.
Lin Mo handed all seven of the later tickets to Ling Xue.
And Ling Xue didn't treat him unfairly, she transferred another 35 million RMB to his bank account.
The Ling family truly deserved its status as one of the three great families of the capital.
Lin Mo noticed that when Ling Xue transferred the money in front of him, she didn't even blink.
Ten tickets, totaling 50 million.
For most people, that was a lifetime's wealth, or even ten lifetimes'.
But to Ling Xue, it was just the profit from a random company project.
Looking at the 50 million that had entered his account within just half an hour, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, "This money comes faster than draining Wang Junjie dry."
Once Lin Mo obtained ten dungeon tickets, the system forcibly ended his PK and teleported him out of the arena.
Now that he had what he wanted, Lin Mo didn't linger.
"President Ling, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Lin Mo took Ning Xi's hand and left the Demon Hall.
Watching the two of them leave so closely together, a trace of disappointment appeared in Ling Xue's beautiful eyes.
"To keep your distance, you won't even call me Ling Xue?"
At that moment, He Xiao showed Ling Xue an information chart and said excitedly, "Ling Xue, look!"
"On the Inferno City forum, some players made a guild popularity ranking. Our Divine Nation guild's popularity is rising at an astonishing rate."
"Half an hour ago we were 13th, now we've already jumped to 5th."
"HR also said the number of applications to join our guild has increased tenfold."
Lin Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Looks like our dungeon clear announcement worked."
"No," Zhao Jun said in a low voice, "More importantly, Rulebound dominated the arena and achieved… a 550-kill streak in half an hour."
"Now the entire city knows, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, Rulebound, and Liuli, are both members of our Divine Nation guild."
At this moment, Lin Miaomiao said to Ling Xue, "Sister Ling, it seems your earlier decision to focus resources on training Lin Mo alone might actually work."
"Look, just by himself, he's already greatly boosted our guild's fame. If we concentrate resources on him, he'll definitely become even stronger and lead our Divine Nation to the top faster."
"From the current situation, the plan is feasible, but," Zhao Jun said with some concern, "Rulebound has only joined our guild for a few days. Is he really worth trusting like this? What if we invest heavily in him and he turns around and joins another guild."
In fact, when Ling Xue arranged for someone to stabilize Ning Xi's younger brother Ning Fei, she had already considered this.
She had long planned to fully train Lin Mo.
What she lacked now was a way to completely secure Lin Mo by her side, ensuring he would never betray her.
"Although saying this goes against my own feelings, there might only be one way."
Lin Miaomiao bit her lip, as if making a difficult decision, then said to Ling Xue with some guilt, "If you want to keep a man, the only way is to keep his heart."
As soon as she said that, He Xiao spoke in a mocking tone, "Oh? Didn't someone just say we shouldn't interfere with their relationship?"
Lin Miaomiao's face turned red, "I'm just saying! I didn't say we have to do it! Forget I said anything, it's not right anyway… Liuli is actually a really nice person."
Ling Xue looked at Lin Mo's departing figure, murmuring softly, "Keep his heart…"
