149: Where have all my brothers gone?

After a hearty shopping spree.

Lin Mo's eighty million reputation points were only left with around thirty million.

In other words, this consumption directly spent nearly fifty million reputation points.

Although the bulk of it was for upgrading various buildings of the Lin Family.

But the remaining reputation points were also used to sweep through many items in the gold-tier mall.

Lin Mo basically bought everything useful.

The rest were either things with side effects but powerful effects.

Or some things that weren't very valuable.

There was no need to buy these for now.

In addition, Lin Mo also purchased over two hundred templates for the gold-tier Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers.

The Lin Family currently only has over two hundred people, excluding some favored prodigies Lin Mo had his eyes on, and some older generation members who are powerful.

Everyone else was granted the template of the Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers.

This was also a huge improvement for them.

Greatly increasing their potential.

It can be said that the current Lin Family can simply be called a gathering place for monsters.

Outside, geniuses who are one in a million, extremely rare, and each could be chosen as a successor by a major force.

In the Lin Family, they can only be ordinary disciples.

Here, if one's talent doesn't reach gold-tier, they wouldn't even dare call themselves a Genius!

Of course, the templates have just been granted, and it will take Time's catalysis to see results.

However, after the Time-Space Tower is upgraded, this Time won't be too long!

...

...

On this day, the two-and-a-half-month hellish special training ended.

The exhausted members of the Lin Family were summoned to wait outside the Lin Family ancestral hall.

Although exhaustion was evident on everyone's face.

But their eyes still revealed excitement.

Not only because this hellish special training ended and they could sleep freely and well.

Also... the rules for the Eastern Wasteland First Martial Arts Tournament were released.

This year's tournament format consists of two competition modes: team competition and individual competition.

Each force needs to select five people as a competing team to contend for points.

Ultimately, after all matches conclude, the force with the highest points will achieve victory.

Becoming the Eastern Wilderness's number one, and gaining the opportunity to enter the Eastern Wilderness Secret Realm.

In addition, perhaps a certain Sacred Ground had protested for a long time about why the second place never received any reward.

Therefore, the major forces jointly discussed and finally decided to use the three super-large spiritual energy ore veins discovered recently as the reward for the second place.

Yes, a full three super-large spiritual energy ore veins.

For the Eastern Wilderness, they are extremely rare existences.

Before this, in such a vast area of the Eastern Wilderness, only two super-large spiritual energy ore veins had ever been discovered.

Currently, one is held by the Reincarnation Holy Land, and the other is held by the Boundless Sacred Ground.

Therefore, when these three super-large spiritual energy ore veins were discovered, they immediately caused a scramble among the major forces.

The number of spiritual energy ore veins is too important for a force.

Most things in the world can be linked to spirit stones; as long as there are Spirit Stones, it's equivalent to having endless resources.

No one was willing to give up this immense wealth.

Therefore, this struggle dragged on for over a year, and the ownership of these three super-large spiritual energy ore veins still couldn't be settled.

Fortunately, the Eastern Wasteland First Martial Arts Tournament was about to begin.

They simply decided to directly use them as the reward for the second place.

It could also be considered a relatively fair method.

After all, everyone dares to compete for even first place, let alone second?

Stepping back ten thousand steps, if they can't get first, the chance of getting second is much higher.

Of course, the third place also gets a reward, but it's not as generous as the first and second place.

It's merely the ownership of a vast piece of unclaimed land.

It's somewhat useless; after all, powerful forces don't lack territory, and weaker forces can't defend territory.

But no matter what, it's better than just participating and getting nothing.

"I heard that the rules for this competition have changed, and even second and third place get rewards, so this time, besides the forces that were actively invited, there are also quite a few forces that actively signed up to participate." Lin Gezhu stood in the crowd.

She was talking to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded upon hearing this, and being a bit gossipy, she couldn't help but smile and say, "Do you know who proposed this rule?"

Lin Gezhu rolled her eyes: "Need to guess? It must be that eternal runner-up, Piao Miao Holy Land. They've participated so many times, and always just participated."

"Anyone's psychology would be twisted, it's normal to have opinions."

Lin Qing smiled and shook her head: "However, honestly, they might be disappointed this time. We are definitely aiming for first place, right?"

"Of course." Lin Gezhu said as if it were a matter of course.

"Then the current strongest, Reincarnation Holy Land, might end up in second place." Lin Qing paused slightly here.

She scratched her head: "Saying it like this feels a bit arrogant."

Lin Gezhu didn't mind: "What are you afraid of? We're clearly aiming for first place, we should be confident."

"Hehe, alright, then if we get first place, it's probably going to be hard for Piao Miao Holy Land to even get second."

"They can't beat Reincarnation Holy Land."

Regarding this, Lin Gezhu had a different opinion: "That's not necessarily true."

"After all... they are experienced. Maybe in the realm of second place, they can really defeat Reincarnation Holy Land?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yan somehow came over.

"Lin Yan Ge." Lin Qing greeted him politely.

"Just talking about the Eastern Wasteland First Martial Arts Tournament. The participants will be announced soon, right?" Lin Gezhu said, her eyes constantly looking towards the front of the ancestral hall.

But Lin Mo hadn't appeared yet.

"Hey, Ge, you must perform well in this tournament." Lin Gezhu poked Lin Yan's shoulder and said.

Regarding this, Lin Yan scratched his head: "Don't talk nonsense, it hasn't been decided who's going yet."

"There are only five spots this time, I might not go."

"Don't I remember there are substitute spots? Ge, you will definitely be able to participate." Lin Gezhu shook her head.

Then she seemed to think of something: "Hey, right, where's Lin Hao Ge?"

After the three of them looked around, they all shook their heads, feeling a bit lost.

"I don't know, I've been looking for Lin Hao Ge too, but I haven't seen him there."

"Speaking of which..." Lin Qing also said, seemingly a bit strange.

"I don't seem to have seen my brother today either, I don't know where he went."

"Lin Dong isn't here either?" Lin Yan frowned tightly.

"Did... he go on some kind of mission?"

Just then, Lin Nv came over, looking a bit anxious.

"Lin Yan Ge, Ge Zhu, Xiao Qing, have you seen my brother?"

Huh?

Four pairs of eyes met, and the situation was a bit awkward.

"Your brother isn't here either?" Lin Qing said in surprise.

"Either? Could it be your brother..." Lin Nv asked, looking confused.

"And Lin Hao Ge?" Lin Gezhu blinked her eyes.

"So... where did all the brothers go?" After a moment of silence, Lin Yan blurted out this sentence.
