— [ID: Mo] (Lv50 Third Advancement Assassin)
— Note: Clone is being incubated. Please wait patiently 59 minutes 55 seconds for completion.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
'Everything is ready, now all that's left is to quietly wait for the clone to come out.'
The only flaw was that the clone could exist for at most three days. That time was too short.
"Three days… trying to build connections and form a faction with that is way too rushed."
Thinking this, Lin Mo turned his gaze to the remaining nine [Incubated Clone] scrolls.
He tried picking up another one to use.
[Ding~ Continuing to use Incubated Clone scrolls cannot create a second clone, but can extend the existing clone's three-day duration!]
Lin Mo's eyes lit up immediately.
"So it really can extend the time."
Lin Mo had of course considered letting Ning Xi create a clone as well.
After all, her strength was no weaker than his.
But Ning Xi's SSS-grade talent Supreme Sovereign, with its tenfold damage and 90% damage reduction, was far too eye-catching. In actual combat, the data alone would easily expose that it was her clone.
So, Lin Mo used all nine remaining Incubated Clone scrolls on himself, extending the existence time of the clone [Mo] from three days to thirty days.
A full month.
With that much time, it was more than enough to build a force and gather allies.
At this moment, Lin Mo felt extremely fortunate to have Ning Xi's tenfold reward amplification.
Otherwise, three days simply wouldn't have been enough to carry out his grand plan.
But at the same time, it also extended the clone's incubation time.
Originally, it would only take one hour to complete.
Now it required ten hours.
But for Lin Mo, that didn't matter.
After all, he had already waited so many days. What were another ten hours?
The only thing was that the incubation location needed to be chosen carefully.
After all, he couldn't guard it the entire time for ten hours.
"I need to find some remote, unnoticed place and let it incubate quietly, so it doesn't attract attention."
With that in mind, Lin Mo exited the Yama Hall and, based on memories from his previous life, arrived at an island north of Inferno City.
This island was called Desire Island.
It didn't exist on Inferno City's map.
It wasn't a wild zone, just a scenic area.
Even the name "Desire Island" was something couples from Inferno City in his previous life had come up with themselves while visiting for excitement.
For now, though, this place hadn't been discovered. No one paid it any attention.
It was the perfect place to quietly incubate the clone without being disturbed.
So, Lin Mo took a boat across the sea, landed on Desire Island, and set the clone's incubation point there.
Everything was progressing exactly as Lin Mo had planned.
Based on the current time, 11 a.m...
"As long as it's 9 p.m. tonight, the clone will be ready."
"Once the clone is out, first I'll recruit Black Night."
The groundwork had already been laid.
Lin Mo had already sent five million to Black Night under the identity of [Mo], to treat his daughter.
And Black Night had already agreed to join under [Mo].
So next, as long as Lin Mo used the clone to meet and talk with Black Night, he could bring the first hidden class player in the Dragon Nation server under his command.
"After recruiting Black Night, the next step is Zhao Ling'er and Yu Jin."
So, Lin Mo used the offline account [Mo] to send Black Night a message, ["Tonight at nine, I'll be waiting for you here."]
As he said that, Lin Mo used the Divine Oracle positioning function to send the location of Desire Island to Black Night.
After that, he left the place with Ning Xi.
Before the clone was born, Lin Mo still had one more task.
To create a full set of equipment specifically for the clone.
The clone had to be strong enough to take on its role.
After returning to the city, Lin Mo went to Inferno City's master blacksmith Zhong Liang and commissioned a full set of Tier 4 Assassin equipment.

At the same time, elsewhere—
[Offline]
[Guangyue Province, Shuishui City, Yuancheng District]
[First People's Hospital]
Inside a hospital ward, a middle-aged man, who looked like he hadn't rested for days and appeared extremely haggard, but whose eyes were filled with happiness and hope, sat beside a hospital bed, peeling an apple for the little girl lying on it.
"Dad, you eat," The little girl obediently brought the first slice of the peeled apple to the man's mouth.
"Dad won't eat. You eat," The man smiled gently.
The girl took a bite of the apple, but suddenly tears streamed down her face, "Dad, I don't want treatment anymore. I don't want you to work so hard for me…"
"Silly girl," The man gently rubbed her head and said softly, "A kind uncle has already funded us for free. The money problem is solved. Dad has already talked to the hospital."
"After tomorrow's surgery, everything will get better."
"Really?", The little girl's eyes lit up instantly.
"What's that kind uncle's name? Nannan will definitely repay him in the future."
The man's gaze deepened, "His name is Mo."
As he spoke, the man patted the girl's head, "Don't worry about this. Dad will handle it."
"Nannan, what you need to do is rest well and face tomorrow in your best condition."
After comforting the girl, the man got up and left the ward to buy lunch.
On the way, he took out his phone, logged into Divine Oracle's backend, and repeatedly looked at his chat with [Mo], feeling uneasy.
Because ever since the transfer, the other party hadn't given him any further instructions or arrangements.
That, instead, made Black Night, who always worked in exchange for money, feel uneasy in his conscience.
Especially since it was five million, a huge sum worth more than his life.
At that moment—
Ding!
The chat window suddenly flashed.
[Mo: "Tonight at nine, I'll be waiting for you here."]
Seeing this message, Black Night finally felt relieved.
"Alright, I'll definitely be there."
———
After an entire afternoon of running around and effort, with Ning Xi, Ling Xiao, Qin Feng, and the others helping gather materials, Lin Mo finally successfully crafted a full set of Level 50 Tier 4 Assassin equipment, covering weapon, ring, helmet, armor, belt, leggings, shoes, and necklace.
Although most of these pieces were green and blue quality, far from top-tier, the clone had perfectly inherited Lin Mo's SSS-grade talent Soul Flame.
At that time, he could just let the clone use its talent to evolve all the equipment to gold quality in one go.
Next, Lin Mo went to the auction house and purchased a batch of Assassin E-grade skill books.
Same logic. With the Soul Flame talent, these seemingly trash E-grade skills, which were indeed pretty useless, would instantly evolve into top-tier SSS-grade divine skills in the clone's hands.
"Right, there's also a pet "
After finishing the equipment and skills, Lin Mo muttered, "Let's get you an Ancestral-grade pet too."
So, Lin Mo prepared an ordinary-grade [Fierce Tiger] for the clone.
As for evolving it, he left that task to the clone itself.
Once this clone got going, its strength, even Lin Mo himself would have to be wary of it.
But that was exactly what Lin Mo wanted.
Only something strong enough could help him carry out his grand ambitions.
Everything was ready.
Lin Mo checked the time: 7 p.m.
Two more hours, and the clone would be fully incubated.
And this would also be the first step of Lin Mo's true rise.
