This battle brought Lin Mo way too much gain.
Just Wang Junjie alone sent him over a hundred gold coins.
Add to that the more than sixty gold coins dropped by the Insect Wizard, plus the ten gold coins from system achievement rewards, at this moment, the number of gold coins in Lin Mo's bag had already reached a shocking 218.
Carrying so many gold coins on him made him uneasy. It was much better to convert them into cash and put them in a bank card to feel at ease.
After all, Divine Oracle official exchange rate between gold coins and RMB had been going down as time passed.
From the original 1 to 1, in just two short days it had already dropped to 1 to 0.91.
"Keeping gold coins on you is just waiting for them to depreciate."
"The one hundred thousand prize money for the wealth ranking might not even be enough in the end to make up for the depreciation gap."
"When it is close to the ranking reveal, I can just buy some gold coins cheap to brush the ranking."
Thinking this way, Lin Mo did not plan to cash out directly at the system exchange rate.
Instead, he opened Blazing Ember City's chat interface and found Wang Junjie's gold buying post that was always pinned by spending money.
Based on the 1 to 1.1 rate Wang Junjie posted, he set 200 gold coins for 2.2 million RMB and sent it to Wang Junjie by mail.
Not long after, Wang Junjie claimed the mail.
After deducting the platform's 3 percent handling fee, Lin Mo's bank card received 2,134,000 RMB.
This proved that even with a 3 percent fee, selling to Wang Junjie was still far better than cashing out through the system.
At the same time, Wang Junjie, who had just arrived outside the Insect Nest Dungeon, was still feeling smug about holding first place on the Blazing Ember City wealth ranking with as many as 9528 gold coins.
Scrolling down the ranking, when he saw that Rulebound only had 18 gold coins and was in ninth place, Wang Junjie felt endless superiority.
"In the end, Rulebound, you are just a poor loser."
"So what if you are amazing in the game? In this money first era, a poor trash like you is not even fit to wipe my shoes."
"Just wait for me, Rulebound. You dare go against me, sooner or later I will kill you."
As he spoke, the strategist Chaos Zhuge beside him reminded, "Brother Jie, Rulebound has already killed the final BOSS of the Insect Nest Dungeon. He probably will not come back here anymore. There is no meaning in us continuing to guard here."
"No! He will definitely come back," Wang Junjie said with certainty, "Because his purpose for farming this insect cave is to collect the Poison set. That BOSS just happened to refresh by chance."
"He has not collected the Poison set yet. He will definitely find ways to come back here to farm the set."
Wang Junjie snorted coldly and said, "I will just guard here. I want to see whether you dare to come."
"If you dare come, I will make you die!"
"If you do not dare come, then let me see what kind of secret this Poison set that you have been scheming to get since coming to Blazing Ember City is hiding."
Hearing these words come out of Wang Junjie's mouth, Chaos Zhuge could not help feeling baffled.
He thought to himself, 'Did Brother Jie suddenly grow a brain?'
'Could it be that some expert is guiding him from behind?'
Wang Junjie gave an order to the Chaos Guild players around him, "Brothers, half of you stay here with me to farm the insect cave and help me collect the Poison set. The other half go to Shadow City and continue farming the Shadow Legion."
"I want both the Poison set and the hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall. I will take both."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone answered in unison.
"Yes!"
[T/N: I think Ling Xiao betrayed here.]

[Blazing Ember City]
Lin Mo looked at the money in his bank card jump from two million to over four million.
Just thinking that this was only the harvest of the short two days since Divine Oracle opened made him so happy he almost went crazy.
"At this speed, probably in less than three months."
"Within one month, I will be able to earn fifty million."
Of course, Lin Mo always knew that fifty million was only his bottom line goal.
If conditions allowed, he wanted to raise that goal to five hundred million.
That way, when Divine Oracle opened its recharge function three months later, the more he recharged, the more cumulative recharge rewards and massive amounts of gold coins he would get.
At this moment, an unprecedented wave of exhaustion and hunger hit him.
Lin Mo really could not take it anymore and logged out.
———
Whoosh!
In the dark room, Lin Mo pulled open the curtains.
Eight in the evening—
In the city, neon lights and nightlife were in full swing.
In fact, ever since Divine Oracle launched, people's activity in real life had already dropped a lot compared to before.
Lin Mo's gaze unintentionally fell on Listening Rain Pavilion across from the neighborhood.
"I have not seen the Empress all day."
"I have to hurry over and build some feelings, otherwise the Empress will forget me."
Saying that, Lin Mo put on a thin jacket and went downstairs. Straight to Listening Rain Pavilion.
.
.
.
"Hello honored guest Lin! Welcome to Listening Rain Pavilion!", The front desk girl recognized Lin Mo as their Supreme VIP customer and hurried over to greet him warmly.
"Help me call number 27, Ning Xi," Lin Mo went straight to the point.
However, at this moment, the two front desk girls suddenly fell silent and looked worried.
Lin Mo seemed to sense something, "Did something happen?"
"Mr. Lin, how about you… come with me."
As she spoke, the front desk girl led Lin Mo to a karaoke room on the fourth floor.
She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
But the music coming from inside, mixed with a group of men's unrestrained laughter, made Lin Mo feel a sudden wave of anger and unease.
Bang!
Lin Mo kicked the door open by force.
The scene that came into view made an unnamed fire rise in his heart.
He saw three men force feeding alcohol to Ning Xi and another girl, their faces full of twisted smiles, completely ignoring the suffering of the two girls.
"Come on, be good, drink this cup of wine and I will tip you another hundred yuan!"
"That is right, that is being good!"
"Damn it!", Just as Lin Mo's anger was about to explode and he was ready to rush in.
Suddenly, a whoosh as a figure shot past Lin Mo and rushed into the room, jumping up and punching a bespectacled man who was forcing alcohol on Ning Xi, knocking him to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
That youth had crazy fighting power. With three punches and two kicks, he easily knocked all three men to the ground, clutching their stomachs and wailing in pain.
But the youth still had no intention of stopping. He mounted the bespectacled man who had been forcing Ning Xi to drink and rained down punches on his head like a storm.
Until Ning Xi ran over and pulled him away, "Xiao Fei! Do not be impulsive! Someone will die!"
The youth turned around, not caring at all about the injury to his right hand, only looking at Ning Xi with extreme worry, "Sis! Are you okay, sis?"
Ning Xi shook her head, "I am fine. Xiao Fei, how did you come here?"
"I found your former college classmate and asked her," the youth said angrily, "Sis, how can you work in a place like this? It is too chaotic here!"
At this moment, at the doorway.
The front desk girl also pointed at the men lying on the ground and told Lin Mo, "They are also our VIP guests. They insisted that Ning Xi and Xiao Yu accompany them to sing. We also had no way!"
"After all, this is within our service scope!"
At this moment, in Lin Mo's mind, it was like he remembered something.
'In my previous life, I once accidentally heard people mention that before entering Divine Oracle, the Empress Xi Yue worked in a foot massage shop to take care of her brother in senior year of high school and her bedridden mother.'
'Because of an accident, her brother seriously injured someone and went to prison. Could that accident be this time?'
Sure enough, just when the three men who had been knocked to the ground recovered, they got up and pointed at Ning Xi and Ning Fei, the sister and brother, and shouted angrily, "Damn it! I paid money and you dare hit me!"
"If you do not give us one hundred thousand today, this will not be settled!"
"I will make your brother go to prison!"
