Because they had just moved, they hadn't had time to buy groceries yet, so they had ordered takeout for lunch.
After logging off, they had no ingredients to make dinner.
So Lin Mo, Ning Fei, and Ning Xi planned to eat out.
Lin Mo had already figured it out: the reason Tyrant was able to find Tianyuan Residence last time wasn't because he had some incredible ability.
It was definitely because Lin Mo had exposed himself during his daily outings.
After all, Divine Oracle was too popular.
As the top-ranked players on the Heavenly Rankings of two second-tier main cities, Rulebound and Liuli were far too famous.
Without exaggeration, given Divine Oracle's popularity, the two of them were no less famous than popular celebrities.
It was inevitable that people who also played Divine Oracle would recognize them when they went out.
Combined with how advanced the internet was, it became easy for Tyrant to find Lin Mo and Ning Xi's real-world location.
So this time, even with bodyguards from Tian Dun Company providing close protection, all three of them wore masks when they went out.
'There are only two months left before Divine Oracle descends.'
'When Divine Oracle merges with reality, strength in the game will represent everything.'
'People like Tyrant, who can't deal with me online and resort to real-world methods, will no longer pose any threat to me.'
'Before that, it's best not to create unnecessary trouble.'
With that in mind, after dinner, they stopped by a nearby market to buy some vegetables and fruit before returning home.
Lin Mo then went back online.
Because before tomorrow's Divine Tomb dungeon expedition, he needed to make one preparation, for Divine Descent · Seraph.
Lin Mo's original plan was to bring enough Capture Scrolls into the dungeon and, while killing dungeon monsters, use the scrolls to capture a random Priest before evolving Divine Descent · Seraph.
However, the E-rank Capture Scrolls sold in the shop for 1 silver coin each and were limited to 100 purchases per person per day. Their capture success rate was simply too low.
There was no guarantee he could capture even one Priest after using all one hundred.
But now that his SSS-rank talent Soul Flame had unlocked the scroll incineration and evolution functions, things became much easier.
So Lin Mo went to the shop and first bought a normal Capture Scroll.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Capture Scroll] (E-Rank Magic Scroll)
— Effect: Can be used within ten seconds after a monster's death to capture it as a pet (1% success rate on normal monsters, 0.1% on elite monsters, 0.01% on bosses)...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
At that moment, Lin Mo suddenly had an idea.
"This Capture Scroll has low cost-effectiveness, so compared to other E-rank magic scrolls, its value is much lower. It only costs 1 silver coin in the shop, which is only a few dozen yuan."
"If I use this instead of a normal E-rank magic scroll for incineration to gain evolution points, wouldn't it save me a lot of money?"
This was practically a huge loophole.
So Lin Mo tried incinerating a Capture Scroll.
Whoosh!
The moment the golden flames burned in his palm, Lin Mo felt delighted.
"It actually works?"
But the next second, he was disappointed.
[Ding~ You used the SSS-rank talent Soul Flame to incinerate the E-rank magic scroll: Capture Scroll. Due to the special nature of this magic scroll, its value has been evaluated accordingly. You obtained Scroll Evolution Points +0.01!]
"As expected. The developers really don't allow any loopholes to exist."
At this rate, it would take one hundred Capture Scrolls just to get 1 evolution point.
That wasn't even as cost-effective as a normal E-rank magic scroll worth two thousand yuan each.
'Forget it!'
'The shortcut won't work.'
'Better do it the proper way.'
So Lin Mo first collected his mail and withdrew the E-rank magic scrolls continuously sent by players throughout Inferno City.
Two thousand per scroll.
He bought as many as were available.
He accepted all of them without exception.
Afterward, he immediately incinerated the more than two hundred magic scrolls he had just received.
Lin Mo's current net worth exceeded 500 million.
Watching over 400,000 yuan burn in his hands, he didn't feel any pain at all.
After converting the magic scrolls into evolution points, he used 127 Scroll Evolution Points to evolve an E-rank Capture Scroll to its highest rank with one click.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Guaranteed Hit · Hand of God] (SSS-Rank Magic Scroll)
— Effect: Can be used within ten seconds after a monster's death to capture it as a pet (ignores monster rank and type, capture is guaranteed, and pet quality is guaranteed to be at least Epic).
— Permanent Effect: Each use permanently increases the chance of obtaining a high-quality pet during capture by 1%...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Ignoring monster type and rank, guaranteeing success regardless of the target, it was simply overpowered.
Because theoretically, even a boss could be captured in one attempt.
And everyone knew that when players captured pets from wild monsters, pets obtained from normal monsters, elite monsters, and bosses differed in more than just quality.
More importantly, there was a difference in bloodline.
The higher the monster's grade, the stronger its bloodline.
For example, Lin Mo's Dark Gold · Strong-Maned Pig still had plenty of room for improvement.
Because its original form, Piggy Pig, was only a normal-grade monster.
If it were replaced with a boss-grade Piggy Pig, then even though the evolved result would still be Dark Gold · Strong-Maned Pig, the latter's attribute growth and talent strength would definitely surpass Lin Mo's current Strong-Maned Pig.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help feeling excited.
Because it had already been confirmed that the Seventh Princess Siya, who possessed the royal bloodline of the God Clan, existed within the Divine Tomb.
If he could use this [Guaranteed Hit · Hand of God] to capture Siya as a pet, then what Lin Mo was about to obtain would be a Divine Descent · Seraph with the highest-level royal bloodline in the God Clan.
So Lin Mo stored the SSS-rank Hand of God in his backpack.
Everything was ready.
Now all that remained was to wait until ten o'clock tomorrow morning, when the Divine Tomb dungeon opened on schedule, and enter it.
Obtain the royal blood of the God Clan and remove Zhao Ling'er's SS-rank talent seal.
Obtain a royal God Clan divine pet and evolve Divine Descent · Seraph.
Kill the mastermind.
Claim the rare hidden dungeon rewards.
"It looks like tomorrow's dungeon trip is destined to be exciting."
Lin Mo found himself looking forward to tomorrow's Divine Tomb dungeon.

[Meanwhile, Offline]
In the capital, on the rooftop of Ling Corporation, Ling Xue sat alone on the rooftop, with several empty beer cans beside her.
The breeze brushed against her beautiful face tinged with red.
At that moment, a teasing voice came from behind.
"President Ling, being troubled by love isn't worth it."
Ling Xue turned around and looked at Lin Miaomiao, He Xiao, Sun Yang, Zhao Jun, and the others who had come up to the rooftop.
She let out a bitter smile, slightly drunk, "Tell me, because of my own selfish desires, I dragged Lin Mo into this abyss too."
"Am I being selfish?"
"Why say that you're the one who dragged Lin Mo into the abyss?", Zhao Jun said, "Why not say that Lin Mo is the one rescuing you from it?"
Lin Miaomiao also tried to persuade her, "Hasn't the Supreme Plan been quite successful? Vice Guild Master Lin Mo might really be able to turn things around and save our Ling Corporation!"
At this moment, Zhao Jun changed the subject.
"The rare hidden dungeon Divine Tomb has already opened. I just got word that someone was selling D-rank Promotion Scrolls at South City Square. They were already sold out by the time I got there."
"But Lin Mo just gave me fifteen scrolls. As long as we reach Bronze Rank 3 tomorrow, we can use the D-rank Promotion Scrolls to advance to Silver Rank and enter the Divine Tomb dungeon."
"Wow! Lin Mo really thought ahead. He even prepared passes for us in advance."
As soon as Lin Miaomiao finished speaking, He Xiao said, "Then tomorrow we'll send another team in from our side, support Lin Mo, and get double dungeon rewards."
Ling Xue nodded, "Mm. If we get anything good then, give it all to Lin Mo."
Ever since witnessing Lin Mo single-handedly wipe out five major guilds in Dragon Ruins, Zhao Jun, He Xiao, Sun Yang, and Lin Miaomiao had fully begun supporting Ling Xue's "Supreme Plan."
"Understood!"
