In the past, Lin Mo would wait for the other side to attack first, trigger the gray name, and then counterkill, so as to avoid gaining sin points himself.
But this time, Lin Mo did not.
Whoosh!
The moment Zhufeng Zhi Yi entered shooting range, he drew the bow and fired an arrow. Its momentum was unstoppable as it pierced straight through Zhufeng Zhi Yi's chest.
The next second, a blood-red damage number exploded above his head—
-1176 (Critical)!
Thud!
Zhufeng Zhi Yi was running when he suddenly dropped to his knees.
His body turned into a beam of white light and vanished into the night.
At this instant, players from all directions were completely dumbfounded.
The scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.
At the same time, the ID above Lin Mo's head that had been hidden was forcibly revealed in red letters—
[Golden Gear War God · Rulebound] (Lv10 Apprentice Archer · Top of the Leaderboard)
Buzz!
The moment Lin Mo's ID appeared, everyone present was struck like by thunder.
"Ru… Rulebound? He's actually the leaderboard's number one, Rulebound?"
"My god! I actually thought he was a noob. Who would've thought he's the top god of our newbie village!"
At this moment, after clearly seeing Lin Mo's identity, the players of the Zhufeng Guild were so scared their legs went weak.
Because they knew very well that they had provoked a big shot that people of their level simply could not afford to offend!
"This… this… how the hell did nobody recognize that he was Rulebound?"
"I want to know too! Wasn't there a single person who recognized he was number one on the leaderboard? I even mocked him just now as a useless piece of trash! I don't know if he heard it. If he did, I'm done for…"
"Holy shit! I heard that even Ning'an City's richest man, Wang Junjie, is afraid of Rulebound! Someone even Wang Junjie can't mess with, we… damn! We're finished!"
The underlings panicked one after another.
Only Qin Feng did not lose his composure.
Was it because he wasn't afraid?
No, of course he was afraid.
After all, compared to Wang Junjie's immense wealth, his family's 4S dealership wasn't even worth one of the other man's leg hairs.
Someone even Wang Junjie feared, how could he not be afraid?
But, in the current situation, he was stuck riding a tiger.
Even if he was afraid, he had to endure it.
Otherwise, he would completely lose face in front of his white moonlight, Su Yingxia.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, pointed at Lin Mo, and shouted angrily, "Get him! Burst him down!"
The underlings were baffled.
"Boss, are you serious?"
"That's number one on the leaderboard… how do we burst him?"
"So what if he's first?", Qin Feng snorted coldly, "He's only one person. We have so many people. What the hell is there to be afraid of!"
"All of you, go! Anyone who dies gets five hundred bucks as compensation!"
As soon as these words came out, the Zhufeng players finally felt reassured.
"Five hundred bucks!"
"Die then die! For the money, brothers, let's go all out!"
"Charge!"
Amid a wave of earth-shaking shouts, dozens of Zhufeng Guild players surged toward Lin Mo aggressively.
"Don't say I didn't give the chance."
Lin Mo's gaze turned cold.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Relying on his astonishing 182 agility, four shots per second.
One after another, four-digit, sky-high critical damage numbers exploded within the enemy group.
Everyone hit by Lin Mo had their HP bars drop to 1 point.
Obviously, if Lin Mo had not locked their HP, they would already be completely dead.
And Lin Mo locking HP was not out of mercy.
It was simply because he did not want to shoulder too much sin value.
One moment of showing off feels great, the next your sin value sends you straight to the crematorium.
Before level 10, it was pure stat suppression.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of level 6 and 7 players from the Zhufeng Guild all lay scattered on the ground with empty HP bars, wailing in pain.
This scene made the surrounding bystander players question their entire existence.
Lin Mo stepped over the crowd and pressed toward Qin Feng step by step.
Only at this moment did Qin Feng truly feel fear and terror.
"Lin Mo! You… you just wait!"
Qin Feng turned around, preparing to run.
Whoosh!
Lin Mo fired an ultra-long-range arrow straight through his chest.
A critical hit of 1132 damage reduced Qin Feng's HP to just 1 point.
Qin Feng did not even have time to get up from the ground.
A foot was already stepping squarely on his face.
"Who's the trash?"
Qin Feng was clearly unconvinced, "Lin Mo, you fucking—"
Buzz!
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Lin Mo kicked him several meters away.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several arrows in a row shot straight into Qin Feng's thigh! Belly! Chest.
The pain made Qin Feng let out pig-slaughter-like screams.
"Who's the trash?"
Buzz!
Under Lin Mo's manual control, every piece of equipment on his body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light!
"I… I'm the trash!", With his left eye shot blind and blood streaming down his face, Qin Feng no longer had any of his earlier toughness. Crying, he begged Lin Mo, "Lin… Brother Mo! Spare me, Brother Mo! I'm trash! I'm useless trash!"
At the same time, a wave of shocked cries immediately rose from the surroundings, "Holy shit! Full gold gear!"
"My god!"
Lin Mo stepped on Qin Feng's face again.
"My woman, and you dare touch her?"
"I was wrong, Brother Mo! Brother Mo, please spare me! I'll never dare again!"
"Kneel and kowtow!", Lin Mo barked an order.
The surrounding Zhufeng Guild players, facing the leaderboard's number one powerhouse clad in full top-tier golden gear, did not dare disobey.
Men and women alike, dozens of people all knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Mo.
Including Qin Feng.
"This time, I'll let it go, seeing that your attitude isn't bad."
Lin Mo's icy gaze swept over the Zhufeng players.
"Scram!"
With Lin Mo's cold command,
Qin Feng hurriedly led his underlings away, fleeing in disgrace.
At this moment, the surrounding spectators erupted into excitement.
"So this is the strength of the leaderboard's number one? So strong!"
"One person taking down dozens! Tsk… no wonder they say even Ning'an City's richest man, Wang Junjie, can't beat him!"
"Holy shit! When his whole body suddenly burst with golden light just now, I got goosebumps all over! Who understands that feeling? That was literally the scene of my dreams! So insane!"
"Rulebound is amazing! He's tall and handsome too, totally my type! If only I had a boyfriend like him!"
At the same time, Su Yingxia, who had witnessed everything from start to finish, had eyes as deep as the stars, filled with shock.
Her heart was full of disbelief.
'He… is he really Lin Mo?'
"How did he become this powerful?'
Clearly, in Su Yingxia's mind, her impression of Lin Mo was still stuck in the past. When they went out together and someone stole their seat, he would just let it go. When bullied, he would instead keep apologizing to the people bullying him. No matter what happened, he would only endure and retreat.
Lin Mo turned around and met Su Yingxia's shocked, incredulous gaze.
A strong sense of achievement rose in Lin Mo's heart.
Because this was exactly what he most wanted to see.
He wanted Su Yingxia to see that the current him was no longer the same as before.
The man she once dumped was now someone she could no longer reach!
Just at this moment, He Chun, Zhao Qiuyue, and Xu Dongmei instantly changed their expressions.
They hurriedly ran over to Lin Mo, faces full of admiration and awe, and said to him, "Lin Mo, you're so amazing now!"
"That's right! Back when you first got together with Yingxia, I could already tell you were a potential stock! I never thought you'd be even more impressive than I imagined!"
"That Qin Feng is really blind! I already warned him not to set his sights on Yingxia, but he wouldn't listen. He even kept threatening me, forcing me to help him contact Yingxia!"
"You know, I had no choice either," Xu Dongmei adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses, looking at Lin Mo with a seductive gaze, her voice soft and weak.
Lin Mo's icy eyes swept over the three of them.
"If you don't want to die, get lost!"
The sudden shout startled the three women.
Their faces flushed red as they awkwardly, embarrassed, and deeply regretfully retreated back into the crowd.
Lin Mo hid his equipment effects and said to Su Yingxia, who was still standing there in a daze, "Let's go."
"I'll take you to level up."
"Mm, okay," Su Yingxia snapped back to her senses and quickly followed Lin Mo.
He Chun and Zhao Qiuyue watched them, filled with envy and jealousy beyond words.
"Is he really Lin Mo?"
"Of course it's him!"
"How did this dull guy become so powerful now? I never imagined he'd be number one on the leaderboard. And he's wearing so much gold gear. My god, how much must that be worth!"
"If we had known earlier, we shouldn't have offended him. With his relationship with Yingxia, maybe he could've carried us!"
"Sigh, what's done is done…"
"Ahhh! This is so annoying!"
———
Along the way, the two of them remained silent.
They went straight to the Lv10 Shadow Outpost.
This was one of the material collection sites for crafting the [Flowing Silver Crown]: the Silverlight Gemstone.
In the vast outpost area, silver-armored werewolf warriors wielding cleavers wandered everywhere.
They were level 10 monsters: Steel-Armored Wolves.
By killing them, one could obtain Silverlight Gemstones.
Lin Mo said nothing more and lifted the Hero's Golden Bow.
"Let's get to work!"
