CH 44

Ling Mo and Fatty used to be good brothers indeed.

But after all, people are creatures living in the present, and the friendship in the past cannot be regarded as everything. Ling valued Xinyan more than the fat man now.

Of course, he wasn't forced to make a choice between Fatty and Xia, it's just listening to Fatty talk about... His girlfriend, he felt quite strange.

How to explain? It's like a special possessive desire, even if it's a former friend, Ling Mo doesn't want him to get involved in this topic.

So about this topic, he really has nothing to talk about.

There wasn't much emotional connection between them before.

Fortunately, Fatty is not the kind of person who can't understand the atmosphere. Seeing that Ling Mo didn't want to talk about it with him, he simply changed the subject.

"Hey, I want to ask you something, tell me the truth."

"What's the matter?"

Ling Mo tilted his head and looked at him.

The fat man glanced at Xia Xinyan's room, then approached him again and lowered his voice.

"Your girlfriend... Isn't that Xia Xinyan?"

"...Which Xia Xinyan?"

"Who else? That one! The daughter of the Xia family!"

The fat man is not stupid, even if he didn't turn notice it at first, he has to realize it now.

Ling Mo was admitted to Linjiang University, and the Xia family's location is also in Linjiang. Fatty's knowledge of the family was limited to the various capital jokes about it on the internet, and he also knew that the Xia family had a daughter who was about the same age as them.

After connecting the dots, even if it is not certain, it's almost right.

Taking a step back, is there really such a coincidence in the world? Also in Linjiang, there happened to be a beautiful girl in the University who had the same name and age as the daughter of the Xia family, and who had the ability to get a game cabin?

Fatty doesn't think Ling Mo got the game cabin himself, at least he spent three years in high school together, so he still knows his background and so on.

So it makes sense when you think about it.

But the more he thought about it, the more nonsensical sounded—— it was because he knew how much Ling Mo was worth that he was even more surprised. Was the daughter of the Xia family blind and fell in love with him?

...Cough, it's not that there isn't any good points. If he has to say, this kid is quite attractive, especially after playing basketball, the sweaty masculinity makes him attractive, but ignoring that, what else does he have that can attract the young lady?

Please, this is not a matter of disparity in status. The size of the Xia family, if placed in a small country, can even be the emperor directly. Basically, Xinyan is the princess of a country, while Ling Mo... Cough.

Anyway, he couldn't understand it.

——Ling Mo naturally knows his reason, and he has been thinking about it for the past two days.

He used his head to think about what Xia was thinking, but he couldn't figure out what to do, and he couldn't read minds.

So now he doesn't think about it at all, letting nature take its course, and do whatever is more in line with his own wishes.

As for the fat man's question, he chose to be direct.

"What do you think?"

Since Xia Xinyan didn't take the initiative to admit it before, there's no need for him to do anything extra.

Fatty stopped asking.

"Okay, but I still have to congratulate you, take good care of her."

"That's natural."

Ling Mo patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Go to bed early, or if you can't sleep, just help me watch the rest of the night."

"You're talking bullshit, I'm going to sleep."

The fat man got up and left.

Seeing him enter the room, Ling Mo was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and leaned on the swivel chair to play with bricks.

Just like Fatty has been exercising his abilities before, this is indeed a meaningful way to pass the time. Ling Mo doesn't know how to exercise his abilities to become stronger, but even if he can't unlock other objects, as long as he's proficient in the process of creating the brick he might be able to develop a way of fighting against a fear—— being called The Brickman.

Skill: Can toss an infinite amount of bricks.

And while he was sitting in the corridor, fiddling with bricks, Xia in the room was not idle either.

In fact, she woke up when Ling Mo got up. Although his movements had been light, it was still enough to wake her up.

Players who have experienced the cataclysm basically have this ability, and they can wake up from a deep sleep and immediately enter a defensive posture at the slightest sign of trouble—because most people who do not have this ability have seen Jesus in their sleep.

So it can be said that Xinyan's sleep quality is quite poor.

If it weren't for the BUFF who always maintains the best appearance, if she continues at this pace, she may not be so attractive to Ling Mo in a long time.

Of course, the improvement of physical fitness in the later stage will solve this problem, allowing players to maintain high sleep quality during a short time schedule, but it is obviously not reflected now.

So Xia couldn't sleep.

Lying on the bed for a while, staring at

《sleepy》 in the status bar for a few seconds, she simply started checking Frogs System.

She hasn't had time to use the system points given by it, mainly because this system is also a novelty for her, and she hasn't figured out which aspect is more beneficial to use the points.

Although the ability can be improved directly, it does not necessarily bring all the benefits. It's an important process for players to improve their strength through experience, they can gradually unlock and learn more functions when they are familiar with their abilities, however, by directly improving with points it's possible to not even know all the functions nor where to start.

She can be a mentor for Ling Mo, but the question is how can she explain why she is more familiar with his abilities than himself?

This is a very troubling question.

However, saving points won't do anything, so she still plans to see if there are any ways to improve them that are useful now.

Frog's system is also linked to Ling Mo, which means that she can not only upgrade her own abilities, but also directly upgrade his abilities through the system. Moreover, Ling Mo's ability is not only the expansion of materialized items, but also all aspects of improvement, such as materialization speed, materialization difficulty, existence time, cooldown, etc., all of which have upgrade options.

But after looking around, Xinyan chose to expand the materialized list, unlocking a small number of cold weapons for Ling Mo, such as daggers—— essentially speaking, these items are more of a leap in materialization, which not only means that Ling Mo can materialize these items, but also means that he already has the ability to materialize any other item of the same material.

Too bad he can't program.

However, this will not affect the extremely high price required for upgrading. Just this little expansion of physical items consumes three-quarters of the points.

Xinyan's heart hurts seeing it.

So she added all the remaining points to herself in revenge.

For example... The power ratio that can be displayed by the succubus ability under the main animalization ability has been increased.

——She didn't say she wouldn't use the succubus ability in the future, did she? Right?
