After dealing with all the Tier 1 Venomous equipment, Lin Mo then sorted through the Tier 2 goods he had just obtained.
This time, there were a full 51 pieces of Tier 2 Venomous equipment.
And among them, two pieces Lin Mo needed appeared at once:
Archer Tier 2 green Venomous Pants!
Archer Tier 2 white Venomous Ring!
Without another word, Lin Mo swiftly one-click evolved both pieces straight to gold quality.

— Additional Attributes: Strength +80, Agility +80

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
After equipping these two Venomous items, Lin Mo's attack power increased from 1375 points to 1489.
His defense surged from 615 points to 1096 points.
At the same time, the Tier 2 Venomous set skill [Poison-Proof] five-piece bonus was activated: all poison-type effects of the wearer increase by 50%, and the wearer gains 50% poison immunity.
"Next, I just need the helmet, belt, and necklace. Once I have those three slots, I can complete the full Venomous set."
Lin Mo could hardly wait to immediately complete the full Venomous set and march into the elite hidden dungeon, Shadow Holy Hall.
After all, ever since arriving at the Tier 3 main city, Blazing Ember City, everything Lin Mo had done had been for this dungeon.
And he had always believed that this hidden dungeon would definitely not disappoint him.
Next, Lin Mo organized the remaining surplus Tier 2 Venomous equipment.
To his surprise, he actually managed to piece together a complete Warrior set.
"Why couldn't it be an Archer set? Why does it have to be Warrior?"
"What bad luck!"
Lin Mo couldn't help complaining.
If it were an Archer set, it would have saved him from continuing to run around the Insect Nest Underground Palace later.
Lin Mo thought about it. According to the agreement, Dragon Soul would help Lin Mo guard the underground palace and keep Chaotic World players from interfering. In return, Lin Mo promised Dragon Soul Aoshi ten sets of Tier 1 Venomous gear and three sets of Tier 2 Venomous gear.
At present, the ten Tier 1 Venomous sets had already been delivered, and he still owed Dragon Soul Aoshi three Tier 2 sets.
However, Lin Mo did not rush to send this complete Venomous set to Dragon Soul Aoshi.
Because Dragon Soul Aoshi's class was exactly Warrior, meaning he could equip this Venomous set directly.
And—
"Once Dragon Soul Aoshi equips the Venomous set and enjoys the full Tier 2 Venomous set's 100% poison immunity effect, it will be unfavorable to my next plan."
"I need to give it to him later."
And Lin Mo's next plan was precisely this: to cleverly take the final Heart of Shadow needed to enter the hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall from Dragon Soul Aoshi's hands.
So Lin Mo temporarily stored all the Tier 2 gear.
Having slept less than three hours last night, almost pulling an all-nighter, Lin Mo felt extremely tired and returned to the city to log off and rest.
Before logging off, Lin Mo made a trip to the Blazing Ember City auction house.
According to the original plan, he listed two C-rank magic scrolls [Insect Burst] and two C-rank mage skill books [Bug Detonation], each with a starting bid of 200,000 yuan, and put them all up for auction.
"Next, I'll just wait for all the big shots in Blazing Ember City to fight over them."
"And I only need to sit back and collect the money."
Thinking this, Lin Mo happily logged off.
———
He went downstairs to buy two breakfasts and headed straight across the street to Listening Rain Pavilion.
Seeing Lin Mo early in the morning, the front desk girls couldn't help laughing.
"Oh my, Mr. Lin is here to see our Ning Xi again!"
"Weren't you together last night? You've only been apart for a little while and you're already missing our Ning Xi again?"
"Ahem!", Lin Mo coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. He placed the breakfasts on the counter and told the front desk girls, "Help me give these to Ning Xi. Thanks."
With that, Lin Mo turned and left.
Leaving behind the two front desk girls, full of envy and dissatisfaction.
"Hmph! Not happy! He didn't even buy me one!"
"He's interested in Ning Xi, not you. Why would he buy you breakfast?"
"Sigh, I'm so jealous of Ning Xi! When will I ever meet such a considerate and devoted rich second-generation who's tall and handsome too?"
While the two were sighing with envy, little did they know that Ning Xi had just finished cleaning a private room on the second floor and was coming downstairs, standing right there in the corridor.
Knowing that Lin Mo had specially bought breakfast and delivered it for her, warmth welled up in her heart.
As if remembering something, she quickly grabbed a bag from the nearby staff storage room and hurried out, chasing after Lin Mo.
"Brother Lin Mo!"
Ning Xi held the bag with both hands, her face slightly red as she softly said to Lin Mo, "Thank you for your clothes… and for bringing me breakfast."
Lin Mo took the bag and saw inside was the jacket he had draped over Ning Xi the night before, now washed clean, neatly folded, and giving off a faint fragrance.
He smiled and said, "Eat the breakfast while it's hot."
"I'll come find you later."
With that, Lin Mo turned and left.
Leaving Ning Xi standing there, staring blankly at Lin Mo.
Her heart, which had been cold for so long, seemed at this moment to feel a long-lost warmth from Lin Mo.
Lin Mo finished his breakfast on the way.
At eight in the morning, when everyone else was just waking up, he went home and collapsed straight into bed.
After all, with Divine Oracle having just launched, it was hard to maintain a regular schedule in the first few days, and Lin Mo couldn't control that.
He could only wait for things to stabilize gradually later on.
At the same time, online in Divine Oracle.

[Blazing Ember City, West Plaza]
Su Yingxia questioned her younger brother Su Muqiu, "What exactly did you say to Lin Mo? Is he really that heartless?"
Su Muqiu sighed, "Sis, forget it. You can tell he was hurt pretty badly by you back then. He needs time to heal his wounds."
Su Yingxia's eyes were red, "But he loved me so much back then! Was all of that fake?"
"How can he just stop loving me the moment he says so?"
"Sob! Sob! Sob! I've already apologized to him! Every time before, when he apologized and coaxed me, I always forgave him. Why can't he forgive me this time?"
Su Muqiu was honestly at a loss, "Sis, this… the situation is completely different…"
Su Yingxia cried as she said, "He must have fallen for another girl! That's why he doesn't want me anymore!"
"Lin Mo, you clearly said you'd only love me for your whole life! You big liar!"
Just as Su Muqiu didn't know how to comfort his increasingly unreasonable sister, a Dragon Soul assassin player, [Dragon Soul Flea], hurried over.
And Su Muqiu seemed to be waiting for him right there.
He immediately pulled Dragon Soul Flea to his side.
With a burning expression, he asked, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely!", Dragon Soul Flea said, "Brother Muqiu, I followed your instructions and investigated all the newbie village boss kill records! Among them, the boss Spider Queen of Yunbian Town in newbie village No. 116 was killed by Rulebound."
"Besides that, I also learned from a studio called Chasing Dreams that their boss, Wu Gang, originally had a Heart of Shadow, but it was schemed away and intercepted by someone. And the one who took it… was also Rulebound."
"That means, if nothing unexpected happened, Rulebound should have two Heart of Shadows. Together with the one the boss has, that's exactly three, enough to open the entrance to the hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall, the Shadow Gate."
Hearing this, Su Muqiu instead showed a worried expression.
After hesitating for a moment, he instructed Dragon Soul Flea, "This matter absolutely must not let the boss know. Otherwise, with the boss's temperament, unless Rulebound hands over the Heart of Shadow, his life will be in danger."
"But since Rulebound went to such lengths to collect Heart of Shadows, he definitely won't hand them over easily. This is a deadlock."
Su Muqiu said in a deep voice to Dragon Soul Flea, "Only you, me, and my sister know about this. Absolutely no fourth person is allowed to know."
"Also, continue investigating whether anyone else in Blazing Ember City has a Heart of Shadow."
Dragon Soul Flea accepted the order, "Understood!"
At the side, Su Yingxia, who had overheard their conversation, looked absent-minded…
