Lin Mo quietly watched Su Yingxia being ravaged by the poison scorpion, without a trace of pity or compassion.
Because at this moment, the Su Yingxia struggling in pain looked very much like Lin Mo a year ago after she dumped him.
Back then Lin Mo fell into the abyss of darkness, wishing he could die, while Su Yingxia stood above the abyss, quietly judging him.
One was physical pain.
One was mental torment.
But that did not matter.
Lin Mo wanted Su Yingxia to fully feel that helpless, soul-piercing pain he once felt.
A long time passed, even under the scorpion's repeated 1-point forced damage, Su Yingxia's HP bar gradually ran low.
Only then did Lin Mo step out of the crowd and walk toward Su Yingxia.
Lin Mo only wanted to give Su Yingxia a punishment, let her experience the pain he'd suffered.
But he did not intend to let her die.
After all, Su Yingxia still had value to him.
At the same time, Qin Feng, who was waiting for Su Yingxia to submit, noticed Lin Mo approaching.
Swipe!
Qin Feng angrily pointed at Lin Mo and barked, "I said it, whoever dares save her, I'll kill!"
"Get lost!"
At that moment, He Chun, Zhao Qiuyue, and Xu Dongmei seemed to recognize Lin Mo.
Zhao Qiuyue said in surprise, "Isn't that Lin Mo?"
He Chun sneered sarcastically, "I've seen him a while ago. He's been hiding in the crowd watching, not daring to come out."
"Can't even stand up to protect his own girlfriend when she's being bullied, what a joke! This loser is more pathetic than in college!"
Zhao Qiuyue joined the taunt, "Haven't seen him for over a year and he's still that loser! No wonder Su Yingxia dumped him after graduation! Being with this kind of loser is just wasting youth!"
"Can't say that. At least the guy came out. That's something," Xu Dongmei crossed her arms and smiled coldly, "Too bad a useless trash even if he stands up, he can't protect the person he wants to protect. He might as well hide."
Qin Feng, learning that the newcomer was Lin Mo, became exhilarated.
Yes, exhilarated.
Because he had been looking for an opportunity to show off in front of Su Yingxia.
"This trash actually dares to come out?"
"Heh! Perfect!"
"Su Yingxia, watch carefully. See the gap between this loser you liked and me whom you rejected?"
While speaking, Qin Feng took a longbow from his back that radiated purple light.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
He fired rapid shots at the scorpion.
-83!
-83!
-83!
-83!
Roar!
A wail, and the level-6 scorpion instantly died and fell to the ground.
At this scene, the crowd immediately burst into exclamations, "What the! That Shadow of the Wind deals so much damage! Amazing!"
"Actually able to one-shot a level-6 monster? No wonder he's Cloudside Town's Heaven List No. 10! So strong!"
"Feels like Shadow of the Wind and Summer Solstice are a perfect match! That guy walking over, even his level and ID are unimpressive, looks like a weakling… he's Summer Solstice's boyfriend? No way!"
"That Summer Solstice is so pretty, how can her boyfriend be so lame? It's like a flower on cow dung!"
Qin Feng deliberately used the scorpion kill to shine.
Riding the crowd's praise, he arrogantly provoked Lin Mo, "Back in college you should have known your place. I remember giving you chances, but you didn't appreciate them."
"Fine, today I'll give you another chance."
"If you come over and crawl under me and call me daddy twice, I'll spare you. Otherwise, if you want to survive in Oracle the game, I don't think I'll allow it."
Qin Feng's thought was simple.
In his view, killing Lin Mo was easy.
But he wasn't in a hurry to act.
Killing Lin Mo outright wouldn't be satisfying.
He wanted Lin Mo to lose face in front of Su Yingxia.
He wanted Su Yingxia to see how powerful and high-ranking he was.
However, Lin Mo completely ignored Qin Feng.
He walked straight to Su Yingxia's side.
The first thing he did was not to help the barely breathing Su Yingxia in the pool of blood.
Instead he bent down and picked up the corpse of the scorpion Qin Feng had shot, and the two copper coins that had dropped beside the body.
This scene caused the ZhuFeng guild players and the spectators to burst into loud laughter.
"His girlfriend is like that and he doesn't care, he goes to pick up money?"
"Man, how poor is this guy!"
"Damn! Respect, bro! Grandma falls and I don't help, I admire you!"
He Chun, Zhao Qiuyue, and Xu Dongmei shook their heads.
"Truly a loser!"
"I can't watch this… how can a man be this pathetic!"
"Is he even a man?"
Everyone on the field looked at Lin Mo with contempt.
Only Su Yingxia, seeing Lin Mo, showed a worried look on her pale face.
"Lin Mo… go away, don't worry about me."
"Qin Feng… they're many and powerful, you… you can't beat them!"
Obviously, like the other players around, Su Yingxia knew nothing about Lin Mo's identity or strength.
Lin Mo looked plain.
His dulled equipment looked ordinary.
His behavior was ordinary.
This kind of person looked like an incompetent newbie at first glance.
Lin Mo looked into Su Yingxia's eyes and coldly smiled, "You still look at me the same way as a year ago."
When he was dumped a year ago, the look of disappointment and contempt in Su Yingxia's eyes remained clear in Lin Mo's memory.
Now he saw that look again in her eyes.
Saying that, Lin Mo stood up.
He stood protectively in front of Su Yingxia and slowly took from his back an level-8 Tier-2 orange-quality [Hero's Golden Bow].
His gaze was icy as he stared at Qin Feng and the ZhuFeng guild players beside him.
"How about I give you all a chance."
"Before I make a move, kneel on the ground and crawl to me, each person kowtow to me three times, and I'll pretend I never saw you today."
At these words, the dozens of ZhuFeng guild players involuntarily froze.
The next second erupted in a burst of loud laughter.
"Hahahaha! This idiot is still putting on airs?"
"Kowtow to him? Who does he think he is? Heaven List No. 1?"
"Can't stop laughing! My balls hurt from laughing! Someone piss on him to wake him up! If I laugh more I'll split a gut!"
Qin Feng also burst out laughing.
He shook his head and sighed lightly, "So stupid!"
"Can't figure out why Su Yingxia would like such an incompetent poser?"
"This trash can't even compare to one of my fingers!"
"I wouldn't even get my hands dirty killing him!"
Qin Feng looked at Lin Mo with disgust.
He ordered, "Cut that trash down!"
At Qin Feng's command, the ZhuFeng guild players didn't even bother to mobilize en masse.
Only a short 7-level boy named [ZhuFeng Wing] stepped forward from the crowd.
"Big brothers! I've never killed anyone. Let me kill this trash!"
Saying that, ZhuFeng Wing grabbed his sword and excitedly charged at Lin Mo.
At the same time, a murderous intent flickered in Lin Mo's eyes.
"I already gave you a chance."
With that he raised the Hero's Golden Bow and aimed at the fast-approaching ZhuFeng Wing.
