244: Chapter 244 Pack Yourself Up as a Gift

Ling'er's petite body melted once again, transforming into a streak of emerald liquid spirit light.

It rapidly spread along Lin Mo's body, finally becoming a lifelike snake tattoo.

The high-speed dive unleashed by the Blue Sky Eagle was abruptly interrupted as it lost its target.

The Blue Sky Eagle flapped its wings in a flustered manner, controlling its body to hover in the air about three meters away from Lin Mo.

At this moment, a golden light shimmered on the black gauntlet covering Lin Mo's right fist.

The Blue Sky Eagle suddenly felt alarm bells ringing in its heart, and a sense of danger washed over it.

It flapped its wings without hesitation, preparing to leave this place of trouble first.

However, for an ordinary melee class, this distance was indeed beyond their attack range.

But for Lin Mo, that was not the case.

He bent his legs, and the Eight Spider Lances extended from his back, piercing into the ground.

Then, the Eight Spider Lances and his legs exerted force simultaneously.

His entire body launched directly, leaping upwards.

A fist glowing with golden light slammed directly into the Blue Sky Eagle's abdomen.

The Blue Sky Eagle only had time to let out a shrill scream before it rained blood in the air.

Its stomach was even punched straight through.

Its HP naturally dropped to zero rapidly.

Lin Mo skillfully packed up the Blue Sky Eagle's corpse.

Ling'er, who had originally turned into a tattoo, now returned to her normal appearance.

She gently rubbed her snake head against Lin Mo.

Lin Mo rubbed her head with satisfaction.

"Very good, I'll rely on you for this level."

"Let's go, first let's see what good things are here."

Saying this, the man and the snake continued to move forward in the original direction.

Not a few minutes later, Lin Mo saw the thing that had attracted Ling'er.

Their current location was at the bottom of a cliff.

And on this cliff, there was a huge nest.

If Lin Mo guessed correctly, it should be the nest of the Blue Sky Eagle from just now.

Around this nest grew a special plant, and at the top of the plant grew a fruit shimmering with green light.

And this fruit was exactly what Ling'er had sensed.

This cliff was very steep, infinitely close to 90 degrees.

A normal person definitely couldn't climb it, but fortunately, Lin Mo still had the Eight Spider Lances.

Thwip!

The hard Eight Spider Lances easily pierced the rocks on the cliff.

Lin Mo, like a giant spider, quickly climbed upwards using the Eight Spider Lances.

Soon, Lin Mo arrived at the nest.

He plucked the fruit.

Finally, under Ling'er's expectant gaze, he tossed the fruit into his mouth.

It tasted quite sweet.

After chewing for a while, he swallowed it with a gulp.

Two lines of small text flashed before Lin Mo's eyes.

[Gluttony Talent successfully consumed, conversion EXP +100, Green Lotus Enlightenment gained EXP +10]

[Devoured special energy, attack speed increased by 0.5%]

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but curl his lips upward.

This fruit could actually increase his attack speed.

Although this attribute seemed inconspicuous, it was actually very rare.

If he could originally throw two punches in 1 second.

Then when the attack speed kept increasing, even reaching a doubling situation.

He could achieve 4 punches in 1 second, effectively doubling his strength.

This was definitely a huge improvement.

Even more exaggerated than the improvement from the Purple Orchid Leaf before.

Lin Mo stood in the Blue Sky Eagle's nest, looking ahead.

"Get ready to work, today we'll kill all the Blue Sky Eagles on this level."

"Not a single fruit can be left behind."

...

Outside the Star Tower.

Su Youwei and Gu Rongyu, who had originally been extremely worried about Lin Mo and even looked a bit distressed.

Seeing the light spot of Lin Mo in the Star Tower, which had rapidly climbed to the fifth level,

Their tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and their lips couldn't help but curl upward.

Zhang Qiaoyun, who was beside Su Youwei, couldn't help but say in surprise: "That's more like it."

"I said that with Lin Mo's strength, it's absolutely impossible for him to be stuck on the first level."

"On average, he can enter the next level in just over ten minutes; this strength is not inferior even when compared to Jiang Mengxi and the others!"

The other freshmen around couldn't help but praise him too.

Su Youwei's lips curled up even more obviously, and she said softly.

"Mm, I believe he will definitely pass the assessment and enter Star Academy!"

Zhang Qiaoyun, who had relaxed, suddenly remembered something; she suddenly smiled mischievously and poked Su Youwei with her elbow.

"What did you run out to buy after you finished the assessment yesterday?"

"Could it be that you went to prepare a gift to reward Lin Mo for passing the assessment?"

Although Zhang Qiaoyun and Su Youwei were not assigned to the same academy.

But the two came from the same place and had experienced life-and-death trials together during the major exam.

Naturally, their friendship was deep.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them besties.

At this moment, Zhang Qiaoyun couldn't help but gossip.

After hearing Zhang Qiaoyun's words, Su Youwei was stunned for a moment, but in her mind, she automatically pictured the black silk maid outfit she had specifically gone to buy yesterday.

This... is this considered a gift prepared for Lin Mo?

A wave of blush couldn't help but rise on Su Youwei's cheeks.

And this made Zhang Qiaoyun open her mouth in surprise.

"Hey, Youwei, why are you suddenly blushing like a tomato?"

Then Zhang Qiaoyun suddenly realized, she lowered her voice and leaned into Su Youwei's ear.

"Youwei, you wouldn't happen to be planning to pack yourself as a gift and send yourself over, would you?"

Su Youwei's face turned even redder immediately.

She, who had been persistently staring at Lin Mo's light spot in the Star Tower, couldn't help but lower her head at this moment, not daring to look at anyone.

However, even though she had already placed a Seal on the strength of her chest.

Even with her head lowered like this, she still couldn't see her toes.

Instead, her guilty appearance made Zhang Qiaoyun certain of her guess.

"Could it be... the thing I heard that day... black..."

Before Zhang Qiaoyun could finish her sentence, Su Youwei hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Shh!"

"Stop talking, stop talking!"

Zhang Qiaoyun smiled and didn't mention this matter again, though a trace of envy flashed in the depths of her eyes.

On the other side, Gu Rongyu also finally relaxed.

Her gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Youwei.

After the assessment finished yesterday, she had wanted to get to know this second-place winner, thinking perhaps they could form a team in the future.

After all, she heard she was a ranged mage class, and as a physical damage dealer, both sides could complement each other.

She didn't expect the other party to return to the dormitory so quickly.

They didn't get to meet.

She felt a bit regretful.

Should she go and say hello to her now?

Gu Rongyu looked at the light spot representing Lin Mo in the Star Tower.

He had just entered the 5th level; normally, the higher the level, the longer it takes to break through.

There shouldn't be any changes in the short term.

Gu Rongyu felt a bit tempted.

In this world, people who can clear monsters while fighting alone like Lin Mo are ultimately a minority.

Forming one's own team is the true way to go.

Thinking this way.

Gu Rongyu stepped forward and walked toward Su Youwei's position.
