Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Afraid You’ll Be Snatched Away

Although no one was chasing him anymore, Chen Mo still chose not to advance directly.

He wanted to earn more points first!

Since the "prey" wasn’t coming to him, he would have to go find them himself.

The hunting continued until midnight before Chen Mo and the Qingqiu Fox felt a bit tired. Only then did he turn off the magnetic monster ball and use [Absolute Sleep] to quickly restore his and Xiao Jiu’s energy.

"Without the Qingqiu Fox, there’s no point in watching. Sleep now, and watch again tomorrow!"

"My Tuantuan. Fragrant, soft Tuantuan~, how can I live without you?"

"Ugh (emoji), don’t disgust people at night."

...

After Chen Mo turned off the magnetic monster ball’s camera, the number of viewers watching the match plummeted.

Two hours later, the Qingqiu Fox opened its eyes, and a new round of hunting began again!

"Damn! Chen Mo is a real workaholic! Only slept for two hours before going to mess with other contestants again."

"It’s already 3 a.m., and there are still so many people watching the match."

"I had already gone to sleep, but my roommate woke me up. Oh no, looks like it’s going to be an all-nighter..."

"A match with the Qingqiu Fox is just so thrilling, way more effective than drinking Blue Bull, can’t sleep at all! I really wish I had such a handsome and powerful spiritual beast!"

"Wake up, you’re not even a Spirit Master yet."

"Bro, that hurts..."

------------------

At 11 a.m. the next day, Chen Mo chose to advance.

He really couldn’t find the remaining contestants.

They were all in hiding.

Many spiritual beasts weren’t strong in combat, but had extremely strong survival skills.

Like an earth-type spiritual beast that could use the Earth Escape Technique to bury themselves along with the Spirit Master in the ground, some with mimicry abilities could directly become part of a tree or vegetation, and others with illusion or mirror abilities from light-element spiritual beasts could even make themselves completely invisible...

One hour later, the second round of the match officially ended.

Because Chen Mo was "too fierce," only 12 contestants successfully advanced this time.

Among them, two were disciples from the Thunderbolt Daoist School, Senior Brother Four and She Pili.

Since they couldn’t gather 16 contestants, the organizing committee decided to add a revival match temporarily.

Contestants eliminated by more than three people in the second round would compete for four spots to be revived.

Bai Qi and Yun Shan were both in the revival match since they had already eliminated more than three people before "chasing" Chen Mo.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Chen Mo anymore.

He just wanted to hurry out and check how many points he earned in the second round of the Daoist School competition.

The moment he left the Mist Forest, information popped up on his wristband again—

[Contestant No. 99, Chen Mo, congratulations on successfully advancing in the second round of the National Daoist School Competition. You earned 620 points in the second round, bringing your total points to 662.]

Advancing to the second round gave 50 base points, so they eliminated a total of 57 contestants, which is a quarter of all contestants.

Xiao Jiu’s furry head leaned over.

After equipping [Photographic Memory], it had memorized the entire Xinhua Dictionary, and now it was a cultured fox.

Who dares to say it’s illiterate!

"Woo!" (So many!)

The little guy saw the points and let out an excited whimper.

Chen Mo patted Xiao Jiu’s head and praised:

"Jiu Bao, well done!"

"Woo!" (It’s what I should do!)

The Qingqiu Fox lifted its little head.

"Ying~" (And me~)

"Yes, yes, Tuantuan, you did well too."

"Woo——"

At that moment, a certain whale in the Heart of the Sea let out a resentful cry.

Damn it! It wanted to earn points too! It wanted to show off!

"Xinghai, don’t worry, this time I exchanged for the Weaving Dream Soul Spider Crystal Core to quickly upgrade the level of the Spiritual Space, and then contract with you as soon as possible."

Chen Mo offered a few comforting words.

"Woo——"

Xinghai was placated instantly.

It wasn’t really angry, just a bit envious and anxious seeing Xiao Jiu and Tuantuan’s advancement speed.

Although its current strength was still the top in the team, it would eventually be surpassed at this rate.

Falling behind in the "version update" and getting kicked out of the environment would not be good.

Chen Mo opened the app for the Daoist School competition and directly purchased the Soul Crystal of the Weaving Dream Soul Spider.

"With the extra points, I’ll exchange for some rare ingredients to make a nice dessert when we get back and help Tuantuan advance to the Transcendent rank!"

It was time to upgrade the Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit.

After advancing to the Transcendent rank, Tuantuan might be able to challenge some rare-quality food, which would greatly help improve the entire team’s combat power.

After all, the effect of the [Food Hunter] entry is—the more delicious and higher quality the food tasted, the more the spiritual beast improves.

"Ying~" (≧▽≦)

The Glutinous Rice Ball Spirit rolled over in excitement, then saw other contestants sneaking a look at it and shyly hid behind Chen Mo.

Chen Mo glanced at his phone and found a missed call from Aunt Meng.

He quickly called back.

"Chen Mo, the Great Demon King, congratulations on advancing."

On the other end of the phone came Chen Meng’s cool yet teasing voice.

"The Great Demon King?"

Chen Mo looked dumbfounded.

"I watched the second round of the match and everyone in the comments was calling you the Great Demon King!"

"I dare not accept, I dare not accept, it’s all thanks to Jiu Bao and Tuantuan!"

Chen Mo said modestly.

"That is the truth. But I’m curious, what exactly is your Spirit Master talent? Luo Li’s Qingqiu Fox didn’t have this kind of power at the Extraordinary Rank."

"My spirit bond..."

Chen Mo was about to ramble something when Chen Meng interrupted him.

"No need to tell me. I’m calling just to remind you that after this round, there will definitely be many organizations and institutions inviting you to join them."

"Mm."

Chen Mo nodded.

"You should know that most of these organizations have no good intentions, and they definitely won’t treat you with the same sincerity as your sister. Some extreme organizations might even be looking to study your Qingqiu Fox. They often use high salaries or treasures to tempt you... In short, if you believe it, you’re in danger."

Chen Mo almost burst out laughing; it was the first time he heard Aunt Meng talk so seriously about nonsense.

But he naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Meng’s words, so he promptly promised:

"Don’t worry, Sister Meng, I, Chen Mo, am not someone who forgets my roots!"

"I was just afraid you’d get your kidney removed, so just reminding you. Just don’t listen to their nonsense."

Chen Meng paused, then continued:

"Besides, there’s one more thing. Shen Siyang, the editor-in-chief of Kyoto Daily, is a friend of mine. She wants to do an exclusive interview with you. Do you have the time?"

Kyoto Daily is also an asset of the Hongmeng Company, and this exclusive interview is probably intended to further promote the Hongmeng Company.

Chen Mo had his suspicions, so he asked:

"Do they pay?"

"The company will give a resource subsidy of 5 million and 1,000 employee points. However, some of the interview content needs to be answered according to the company’s requirements. I’ve sent the interview details to your email, take a look."

Chen Meng replied.

After glancing at the interview content, Chen Mo agreed without hesitation.

Just boasting about how the Hongmeng Company nurtured and helped him!

Getting paid is always good.
