74: Chapter 74 The Trial of Sparks! Ruoyun Appears!

"Su... Auntie?"

"Won't you invite me in for a seat?" Su Qianxue's voice drifted over.

Lin Mo finally reacted. Su Qianxue sitting on the windowsill like that meant she didn't want to enter uninvited.

However... that didn't seem to make much difference.

"Please, come in."

Having received Lin Mo's permission, Su Qianxue propped her hands on the windowsill, her whole body vaulted up, and she leapt into the room with fluid grace.

Her proud figure swayed with this exaggerated movement.

Su Qianxue swept her gaze across the room.

The layout of the whole room was very simple.

Just a bed, a desk, and a chair; there was nothing else.

And even these three things could be described as dilapidated.

Su Qianxue suddenly felt a pang of heartache, "Didn't I leave a sum of money when I took Youwei away back then?"

Lin Mo smiled, "Yes, but the grandfathers are very good to every child. They prepare resources for anyone who hopes to change classes and get into university."

"Over time, there wasn't much left, but it wasn't that miserable either. These things are still usable, so we didn't think about replacing them."

Su Qianxue shook her head, "That won't do. I'll have someone transfer another sum of money to the Orphanage when I go back.

After you leave, those four old men will probably be very lonely.

Fix it up properly, restore this Orphanage to use, and hire some staff.

That should be much better."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie."

Afterward, Lin Mo brought a chair for Su Qianxue, poured her a glass of water, and then sat on the edge of the bed himself.

"Actually, besides the Orphanage, I have two other things to find you about this time."

Su Qianxue looked at Lin Mo with a smile, "I have already reported your situation. I have to say, your performance shocked all of us in Starfire."

"I can also announce that you have completed our Starfire assessment and become a member of Starfire."

"You will enjoy all the rights that a Starfire member should have."

"The specific details and certificates will be given to you in a few days."

"In addition, because of your excellent performance in defeating the clone of that King-level Creature, you have earned an extra 500 contribution points."

Lin Mo frowned slightly. A clone of a King-level Creature is only worth 500 contribution points? Isn't that too little?

Su Qianxue saw through Lin Mo's thoughts and smiled, "Do you know how much money 1 contribution point can be exchanged for on the black market?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

"1 million, and it's priceless! No Starfire member is willing to sell this single contribution point."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up. Doesn't that mean he earned 500 million?

"The items that can be exchanged with Starfire contribution points are things that people in the outside world dream of.

You'll know about this in a few days."

Lin Mo asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by 'in a few days'?"

Su Qianxue smiled and said, "This is the other thing I wanted to talk about."

"There is a trial tomorrow. The participants are all new members of Starfire. If you are interested, I can help you register for a spot."

Lin Mo was thoughtful. Since Su Qianxue said so, it meant this matter was not mandatory.

They are all Starfire members, which means they are all top geniuses recruited by Starfire.

"What benefits can I get from this trial?"

Su Qianxue said, "I really can't disclose the specific content of the trial to you."

"But I can say that, under normal circumstances, if you want to join, in addition to the requirement of strength, there is also a threshold for cumulative contribution points.

Originally, you wouldn't have had a chance to go, but because your performance this time was too outstanding and you were able to kill the King-level Creature clone, I was able to withstand the pressure and invite you to participate. This opportunity itself is a benefit."

"Besides," Su Qianxue changed the subject, implying something, "In matters like this, can you still not trust me?"

Hearing her say this, Lin Mo thought of the third round of the grand exam.

He had frantically used his aunt's connections...

Lin Mo made a decision instantly, "I'll participate."

Su Qianxue nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, could I possibly harm you?"

"It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of what we in Starfire do, and it will be convenient for you to exchange for rewards with your contribution points later."

"By the way, I heard from Youwei that you are planning to go to Imperial Capital Academy, right?"

Lin Mo nodded, "That's right."

"There are four major colleges within Imperial Capital Academy. If possible, you must strive to go to Star Academy. It is the most unique college and has origins with our Starfire."

After Su Qianxue finished instructing him, she jumped out of the window.

And Lin Mo also fell asleep with anticipation for Starfire.

Every day before the grand exam, he had been seizing time to level up.

It could be said that he spent all his time in battle.

It was rare that the grand exam was over, and he could finally have a good sleep.

He would go to Jiang Si to buy resources tomorrow.

...

Early the next morning.

Lin Mo slept until he woke up naturally, feeling refreshed.

While he was washing up, there was a knock on the door.

Third Grandfather's slightly urgent voice rang out.

"Mo'er! Come out quickly."

"Something happened!"

"Huh?" Lin Mo hurriedly opened the door, but found that Third Grandfather's face didn't have the anxiety he expected, but rather carried a hint of a smile.

"Third Grandfather, you aren't trying to tease me early in the morning, are you?"

Third Grandfather smiled and said, "No, something really happened. Look at how many people are downstairs."

Lin Mo walked to the windowsill and looked down, only to see the courtyard crowded with people.

Most of them were neighbors, but in the center were more than a dozen powerful middle-aged men and women.

And First Grandfather was surrounded by these people.

However, there was no annoyance on First Grandfather's face; instead, he was smiling so widely that his mouth could hardly close.

The discussions of the surrounding neighbors also fell into Lin Mo's ears.

"Wow, this kid is really impressive, the national champion!"

"These must be teachers sent by various academies, right? It's a battle to snatch talent!"

"I heard he solved an Abyss Portal all by himself. If it weren't for him, who knows how many candidates would have died!"

"Damn, I'm so envious! When will my kid have this kind of treatment?"

Amidst the neighbors' discussions, the corners of First Grandfather's mouth curled even higher!

"See, I didn't lie to you, did I? Let's go down. These teachers are all here to find you.

If you don't go down soon, your First Grandfather will barely be able to handle it."

Lin Mo smiled, "I think First Grandfather is clearly enjoying it."

"Forget it, Third Grandfather, I won't go down."

Third Grandfather was stunned, "You're not going to meet them?"

"No need. The only place I want to go is Imperial Capital Academy. Even if other academies can offer some extra conditions, they are ultimately not as good as Imperial Capital Academy."

Afterward, Lin Mo shrugged, "You also know that Imperial Capital Academy never sends teachers to poach people."

"Let First Grandfather enjoy it a bit more."

Third Grandfather looked at Lin Mo deeply.

He realized that on this matter, Mo'er's thinking was actually much more mature than the three old guys.

Then, without saying anything more, he left.

After Lin Mo finished washing up.

Third Grandfather's voice came from the doorway again.

"Mo'er, I'm afraid you really have to come out and see this time."

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

What's the situation? He actually has to go out to see?

He opened the door, but what he saw was not Third Grandfather.

It was another figure.

A neat outfit outlined her tall and slender figure.

Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, with only a few strands of hair hanging on her cheeks.

Her palm-sized oval face had exquisite and beautiful features.

A narrow-bladed long sword hung at her waist, her standing posture was straight, and her temperament was cold and aloof.

And Lin Mo was full of astonishment.

"Sister Ruoyun? Why are you here?!"
