With plenty of evolution points, you can be as willful as you want.
In one go, Lin Mo evolved the Venomous Chainmail he had just obtained from blue quality all the way to top tier gold quality.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Sky Vault · Venomous Chainmail] (Lv20)
— Quality: Tier 2 · Gold
— HP: 2280
— Additional Attributes: Constitution +80, Endurance +80
— Special Effect: Poison Counter (When the wearer is attacked, the enemy is inflicted with a poison state lasting 3 seconds, losing 200 HP per second)
— Class: Archer
— Description: One of the components of the Archer Venomous set...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
There was no need to say much about the stats of Tier 2 gold gear. As always, they were explosively strong.
As for the special effect, it was just as Lin Mo had expected before, "Venomous set. Of course everything has to come with poison."
Only then could the set skill's effect be brought out even better.
So Lin Mo immediately used this level 20, Tier 2 gold quality Venomous Chainmail to replace the awkward level 5, Tier 1 Holy Light Robe he had been wearing since the newbie village.
His HP stat instantly skyrocketed from 2780 points to 5465 points.
The 80 points of Endurance also boosted Lin Mo's defense by over 80 points.
5000+ HP.
600+ Defense.
With these stats, at level 20, calling him a top tier tank would not be an exaggeration at all.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in his ears.
[Ding~ Congratulations, you have activated the Venomous Set three-piece bonus!]
[Poison-Proof (3/8): Passive. All poison-type effects of the wearer are increased by 30%, and the wearer gains 30% poison resistance…]
"Poison-type effect boost and poison resistance both went up by 10%," Lin Mo took a look.
The poison damage effect of the Venomous Crossbow had already increased from an additional 280 poison damage per attack to 364 points.
The poison conversion of the Venomous Boots went from converting 0.1 Agility per 1 point of poison-type effect to 0.13 Agility.
And the poison counter effect of the newly equipped Venomous Chainmail, its poison reflected damage also increased from 200 points per second to 260 points per second.
Unknowingly, the Venomous Chainmail also brought Lin Mo an extra 34 points of Agility through conversion.
"The future looks bright," Lin Mo grew even more expectant toward the final completed Tier 2 Archer Venomous set.
Thus, Lin Mo returned to the Insect Nest Underground Palace, tenth floor, preparing to continue farming Venom Bottles.
Just as he entered the tenth floor of the underground palace, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.
Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, Skinny Monkey, and Fat Dahai had already relied on their own efforts to push from the eighth floor up to the tenth floor of the underground palace.
"Senior Lin Mo!", Xia Wanwan saw Lin Mo and happily greeted him.
However, at this moment, Lin Mo suddenly raised the Venomous Crossbow and coldly released an arrow of extreme frost into the air.
SSS-tier Ice Snow · Extreme Cold Grasp!
SSS-tier Heaven-Slaying · Seven-Star Volley!
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!
Centered on Fat Dahai, a massive extreme cold domain bloomed around the four of them.
"Wanwan, watch out!", Ling Xiao immediately pulled Xia Wanwan into his arms, using his own body to protect her.
But the very next second, seven golden star arrows descended from the sky like thunder, still piercing through all four who were trapped within the extreme cold domain.
Under the terrifying damage, the HP bars above their heads were instantly beaten down to only 1 point.
Skinny Monkey was utterly shocked, "B-b-b-big brother! Back then we didn't go in to save you, but surely that wasn't a crime deserving death, right?"
Fat Dahai also looked panicked, "Yeah! Back then the Chaotic World Guild had so many people guarding outside, we couldn't break in at all."
Lin Mo, expressionless, spoke in a cold tone, "I'll only give you one chance."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Just as Xia Wanwan, Skinny Monkey, and Fat Dahai all looked shocked and confused.
Thump!
Ling Xiao suddenly knelt heavily on the ground.
Facing Lin Mo, he said with endless remorse, "Senior, I'm sorry… this matter was entirely my doing alone, it has nothing to do with Wanwan or them…"
"Ling Xiao?", Xia Wanwan looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief, "What's going on? What did you do?"
Seeing Ling Xiao kneel and confess on his own, Lin Mo's heart remained unmoved.
In fact, over the past two days, he had been constantly thinking back and forth, trying to figure out where exactly things had gone wrong.
From the very beginning, when Lin Mo came to the Tier 3 main city and started farming the Insect Nest Underground Palace, Wang Junjie chased after him almost immediately.
Then there was Death Town. Lin Mo had just arrived, and right after that, Wang Junjie brought people over to besiege him.
And last night, when Lin Mo was killing the boss on the tenth floor of the underground palace, Wang Junjie didn't even bother with the hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall. He directly brought people to attack the underground palace, trying to steal the boss.
Wang Junjie was like a dog that could always pick up Lin Mo's scent. No matter where Lin Mo was or what he was doing, Wang Junjie could always know precisely.
Why was that?
After racking his brain, Lin Mo finally arrived at the only reasonable explanation. There was a mole.
And over these past two days, the only people who had been constantly by Lin Mo's side were Ling Xiao and the other three.
So the mole could only be one of them.
After learning the truth, Xia Wanwan staggered back in disbelief. She looked at Ling Xiao, her face filled with disappointment and sorrow, "Why? Ling Xiao, why did you do this?"
"Why did you help Wang Junjie?"
Ling Xiao kowtowed fully, overwhelmed with pain and despair.
"Because if I didn't do this, Wang Junjie would never let you go. Even if this time I reached level 30 before him, he would still raise the level competition to 50, 70, 100. Until I lost to him. Until you became his plaything!"
Xia Wanwan could not hold back her tears, "Then I'd rather go to jail! Even so, we absolutely cannot become people who betray trust and righteousness!"
"Senior Lin Mo kindly helped us level up and gave us hope and opportunity. How could we betray him?"
"Ling Xiao! You've really disappointed me!"
She said that, but Xia Wanwan turned around and knelt together with Ling Xiao before Lin Mo.
Crying, she said, "I'm sorry, Senior Lin Mo. It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"
"Ling Xiao did this all for my sake. Senior Lin Mo, please don't blame Ling Xiao! If you want to hate someone, hate me. If you want to kill someone, kill me. I have no complaints!"
Ling Xiao stood up and hugged Xia Wanwan, shielding her with his own body, "Wanwan, it's not your fault. I'm the one who wronged you. I'm the one who was too useless to protect you…"
"Damn bastard!", Skinny Monkey gritted his teeth, furious with humiliation, "Tomorrow when we go to school, I'll chop Wang Junjie, that dog-bred beast, with one knife."
However, seeing this scene before him, Lin Mo instead calmly lowered his bow.
"Get up."
"I don't blame you."
Hearing this, everyone present was utterly baffled.
"Letting you grind your way up from the eighth floor of the underground palace on your own was the punishment I gave you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wanwan burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Senior Lin Mo! Thank you."
At the same time, Ling Xiao immediately swore an oath, "I, Ling Xiao, swear to the heavens that if I ever sell you out to Wang Junjie again, or do anything that harms you, may I be struck by thunder and torn apart!"
"No!", Lin Mo instead revealed a wicked smile and said, "Next, I want you to continue selling me out."
