When Lin Mo woke up from his sleep, it was already eleven in the morning.
Although he had only slept for a few hours, Lin Mo felt full of energy all over his body.
At Lin Mo's current level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that even after another ten hours, at least 99.99% of players on the entire server still would not be able to catch up.
But if he wanted to always stand at the very peak of Divine Oracle, relying only on an SSS-grade talent and memories from his previous life was not enough. Lin Mo still had to put in effort far beyond that of ordinary people.
In this life, Lin Mo's goal didn't just want to become a strong person. He wanted to become the world's number one powerhouse, dominating the other nine SSS-grade talent holders worldwide.
What's more, Lin Mo still had an important matter to take care of later, and he needed to spend some time on it.
So after getting dressed, Lin Mo went downstairs.
At the fast food shop below the apartment complex, he spent 22 yuan on a bowl of braised pork trotter rice.
Then Lin Mo crossed the street to a well-known chain foot massage shop in Jiang Province called [Listening Rain Pavilion].
In his previous life, Lin Mo never dared to come to such high-end places.
But when he thought about how he was about to meet one of the nine SSS-grade talent holders in the world from his previous life, the number one female emperor of the Dragon Nation national server, revered by hundreds of millions, Lin Mo could not help feeling excited.
"Welcome, honored guest! May I ask if you have a reservation, sir?"
Facing the inquiry from the pretty service girl, Lin Mo seemed well prepared and said right away, "Open your best private room for me. Also, I want technician number 27."
"Money is not a problem."
As he spoke, Lin Mo pulled out two hundred yuan in tips for each of the two reception girls.
Receiving tips equivalent to a day and a half of their wages, the two girls immediately beamed with joy.
"Alright, handsome. Please wait a moment, we'll arrange it for you right away. Guaranteed satisfaction!"
Led by the service girl, Lin Mo came to a luxurious private room on the second floor.
He had only been seated for a short while.
When a girl wearing a white shirt on top and a black short skirt on the bottom tiptoed in.
"Honored guest, y-you hello! Listening Rain Pavilion technician number 27, Ning Xi… at your service."
The girl was not especially beautiful.
She did not have Xia Wanwan's stunning looks, nor Su Yingxia's fresh and refined elegance.
There were even a few freckles on her face.
But at first glance, she looked clean, neat, and comfortable.
She gave off the feeling of a delicate, gentle girl next door that made people want to protect her.
At this moment, her small face was flushed red, and she looked very nervous.
"First time?", Lin Mo asked, even though he already knew the answer.
The girl nodded, her voice tiny, "I… I just started."
"It's fine. It's my first time too."
"Then let's begin."
As he spoke, Lin Mo lay face down on the bed.
The girl named Ning Xi desperately tried to recall in her mind the techniques those older sisters had taught her during training two days ago.
She tiptoed over to Lin Mo and began.
The moment her soft, delicate hands touched Lin Mo's back, Lin Mo felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.
Of course, it was not because her technique was particularly good.
But because, as the number one female emperor of the Dragon Nation national server in the previous life of Divine Oracle, she was personally giving him a massage.
This immense psychological satisfaction and pleasure was simply indescribable.
Yes, that's right. Who would have thought, that one of the only nine SSS-grade talent holders in the world in the previous life, the number one powerhouse of the Dragon Nation national server, Xiyue, would have been, before entering Divine Oracle, just an inconspicuous little technician in a foot massage shop?
In his previous life, Lin Mo had once stood at the bottom of the Divine Oracle world together with countless weak players, looking up at the female emperor.
Watching her with a flick of her fingers reduce to ashes a super boss that hundreds of thousands of players in an entire main city could not defeat.
Watching her with a single glance strike fear into the hearts of T0-level powerhouses from empires like Eastern Nation and the Sun Nation.
Watching her give a faint smile that made countless people's minds wander and lose themselves.
This was Xiyue. This was Ning Xi.
In his previous life, Lin Mo did not know.
He had only once heard a good-for-nothing friend mention it, ("I've seen this Emperor Xiyue. In real life, she was just a female technician at a foot massage shop in Ning'an City.")
("I went to that foot massage shop several times. I remember it was called Listening Rain Pavilion. She was technician number 27. Because she had freckles on her face, she wasn't very popular.")
("Who would have thought she'd turn from a sparrow into a phoenix in Divine Oracle. Damn it, if I'd known earlier, I should have taken better care of her back then. Such regret!")
So in this life, while the female emperor was still inexperienced, hurry up and push her down.
When the time came, having an SSS-grade female emperor loyal to him by his side, one who could be used and also used.
"Feels damn good!", Lin Mo could not help laughing out loud.
Ning Xi, who was massaging Lin Mo's back, was startled by his sudden laughter and nervously asked, "W-what's wrong? Did I use too much force?"
"No, not strong enough. Use more force."
"Yes! That's comfortable!"
.
.
.
Half an hour later, Ning Xi was drenched in sweat.
"Honored guest, would you… like to add more time?"
"Add!"
Ning Xi lightly bit her lip and said awkwardly, "But I… my hands don't have any strength left."
Lin Mo turned his head to look at Ning Xi, whose face and ears were red. His gaze slid uncontrollably from her face, across her full chest, past her snow-white legs, and finally landed on her jade-like feet wrapped in knee-high white stockings.
With an awkward smile, he said, "If your hands are tired, don't you still have feet?"
"Add time!"
Ning Xi froze.
She had never heard of a customer making such a request.
But for the sake of earning money to save up for her younger brother's tuition, she could only grit her teeth, frown, and do as Lin Mo requested.
In the blink of an eye, another half hour passed.
Lin Mo was so comfortable he was almost asleep.
Checking the time, it was already past one in the afternoon.
Only then did Lin Mo climb up, fully satisfied.
He took out his phone and sent Ning Xi a red envelope.
"This is your tip. I'll come look for you again next time."
With that, Lin Mo got up and left.
As for Ning Xi, whose entire body felt weak and whose hands could barely be lifted, when she opened the red envelope Lin Mo sent and saw that he had actually given her one thousand yuan, her heart began to race, and her eyes widened instantly.
All the fatigue in her body vanished in an instant.
———
At the same time, Lin Mo came to the front desk.
While settling the bill, he directly applied for a Supreme VIP card.
A massive top-up of fifty thousand.
It stunned the front desk girl, who had not handled such a big order in half a year.
Lin Mo instructed, "Reserve number 27 for me. No matter who requests her, it's not allowed."
The front desk girl knew very well that this was a big client with huge potential, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, Mr. Lin! Don't worry, I'll definitely keep your instructions firmly in mind!"
As soon as Lin Mo left, several other pretty technician girls whispered among themselves.
"Isn't number 27 that new girl, Ning Xi? Why is this guy so fond of her?"
"Yeah, that Ning Xi doesn't look that great, all soft and weak, and she even has freckles on her face."
"I really don't get it! Do rich people all like this kind of fragile type?"
———
On the other side—
Lin Mo left Listening Rain Pavilion. He turned back for one last look, still feeling unsatisfied.
Murmuring to himself, he said, "Fifty thousand, that should be enough for three months, right?"
That's right, Lin Mo was planning to fight a long-term battle.
First, three months was enough time to properly build a closer relationship with Ning Xi, to make her, both physically and mentally, completely and utterly belong only to Lin Mo.
After all, the current female emperor Xiyue was still very inexperienced and naive, unlike her aloof and cold demeanor in the previous life.
Second, according to history from his previous life, Ning Xi did not enter Divine Oracle voluntarily. Instead, three months later, when Divine Oracle devoured reality and all humans were forced into the Divine Oracle world, Ning Xi was also forcibly dragged in.
So—
"Xiyue's SSS-grade talent was drawn when she entered Divine Oracle three months later. If in this life I change the course of history and let her enter Divine Oracle early through a game helmet, it's very likely that she would instead miss out on her previous life's SSS-grade talent."
"This matter cannot be rushed. It must follow the historical trajectory of the previous life, step by step."
A blazing light shone in Lin Mo's eyes.
"In this life—"
"This SSS-grade female emperor is mine for sure!"
