Ch. 67 - Forging a Good Karma
Shoo shoo shoo~ Shoo shoo~
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the second day arrived.
Early morning.
Skyforge Hotel breakfast area.
At this moment, there were still four hours left before the opening of the top eight competition.
"Eh? Mr. Agent, you didn’t sleep well last night?"
Meng Li wore her big-eared cat hoodie with a small dried fish dangling from her mouth.
She carried an armful of buffet breakfast and placed it in front of Ye Mo.
She scanned the latter, who looked a bit tired, with a confused face.
And Ye Xiaoxiao, beside him, was listless and lying on the table as if she was about to melt.
'These two... What did they do yesterday?'
'Why do they both look so dispirited?'
"Sigh~ I had excessive internal heat yesterday and couldn't sleep all night."
Ye Mo rubbed the dark circles under his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Although he gained 250,000 last night, it was another instance of him being left hanging.
That bitch Jiang Linyue definitely had some strange fetish!
Next time, he couldn't let her mess around like this!
He opened his attribute panel and briefly checked it.

Due to the leveling of the two girls, his attributes had also increased by quite a bit.
"Jiang Linyue's level has reached Level 54, and her various attributes are as high as over 700.
If I want to turn the tables on her and be the master, my strength must keep up with hers. Otherwise, I can only be suppressed by her."
He didn't know why, but he suddenly missed the scene of him plowing her in the dream back then.
"However..."
Thinking of this, Ye Mo suddenly frowned.
"Isn’t her leveling speed a bit too exaggerated? Is it because of some god's blessing buff?"
Ye Mo frowned slightly and pondered this.
Ever since moving into the dormitory given by Jiang Linyue, every time she entered a dungeon, she would basically ask him to accompany her.
Even her cultivation method training was carried out in his room.
So, he had just about watched Jiang Linyue grow up.
He could clearly feel that her rate of improvement was beyond normal.
He had even seen her attributes through the "Attribute Tester."
How should he put it?
It was much higher than the average at her level.
It had even broken through the upper limit that her level should have.
If Meng Li could max out her growth attributes through her Demi-human physique.
Then Jiang Linyue had exceeded this upper limit.
It was simply too unbelievable!
Honestly, Ye Mo coveted her.
Not coveting her body, but coveting her as a player.
Outstanding development, SSS-Rank class, plus a special physique.
Not only could she fight and enter dungeons, but she could even make money with her body...
Uh, no, make money by relying on her Jade Spirit Sacred Body.
He had heard that many magic potion companies like the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the United Merchant Guild had research shares with her.
Just by donating her blood every year, she could have hundreds of thousands deposited into her account.
Any Agent would covet this kind of player.
"Is it convenient to chat with you right now?"
Just as Ye Mo was daydreaming…
A cold, unfamiliar female voice suddenly sounded from beside him.
Ye Mo turned his head subconsciously to look.
Soon, he saw an icy, clean, and jade-like beautiful girl wearing a light blue dress.
The girl stood by the window, her hair falling to her waist, and a lustrous white belt tied at her slender midriff.
It outlined her waist, which was slender enough to be held in one arm.
The hem of her skirt extended to the base of her thighs, revealing a pair of straight, lustrous, white, long legs.
'Who’s this again?'
Looking at this cold and aloof girl, Ye Mo felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn't recall for a moment.
"May I ask who you are?"
Ye Mo looked at the girl in confusion.
He had to admit this was a really cold, aloof, beautiful girl. His cheap pirated sister couldn't compare at all.
Of course, this wasn't to say that this girl's looks were higher than Ye Xiaoxiao's.
Rather, the cold and aloof temperament she exuded beat his sister’s.
That was right, it was the real cold.
Just standing in front of him, he could feel an obvious chill from her.
"Liu Muxiao."
The girl spoke indifferently and sat down opposite Ye Mo on her own.
"Liu Muxiao? That girl ranked number one among the favorites to win!"
Ye Xiaoxiao instantly became spirited.
She held onto Ye Mo's arm while she stared at Liu Muxiao vigilantly and asked.
"What business do you have with our Old Mo?"
The latter came from Dragon Glory Academy and was hailed as the next Saintess candidate for the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
Possessing the special physique "Heavenly Frost Jade Body," all her attacks carried a 15% frost characteristic.
Undoubtedly, she was their biggest opponent on the competition road.
Her finding Old Mo this time, it definitely wasn't for anything good.
Ye Xiaoxiao could even imagine the scene of this girl taking out money to persuade them to withdraw from the competition.
"You’re being targeted. If you don't want trouble, it's best to let your two players hide their strength in the arena.
Being overly high-profile might attract the attention of certain people with ill intentions."
Liu Muxiao ignored Ye Xiaoxiao and stared at Ye Mo seriously instead.
Investigating the Agent behind the two girls wasn't difficult for children of aristocratic families like them.
They could easily retrieve his specific file through connections.
Ye Mo's background was very ordinary.
Being overly high-profile might not be a good thing for him.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing these words, Ye Mo frowned.
"This is the list of winners from previous national competitions.
And their current living conditions. You can use it as a reference."
Liu Muxiao handed Ye Mo a list.
Then she turned and left.
It seemed she found Ye Mo this time just to show him this list.
"Unbelievable. Old Mo, don't listen to her nonsense. She definitely just doesn't want us to win the championship!
Really... At least make an offer. Just giving us a list, who does that?"
Ye Xiaoxiao muttered.
She originally thought the other party would name a price to make them withdraw.
After being rejected, she would then fly into a rage out of humiliation and mock them.
Then she would get slapped in the face by Ye Xiaoxiao’s absolute strength in the arena…
And get trampled fiercely under her feet.
Finally, under everyone's shocked gazes, this Liu Muxiao would scream hoarsely: ‘How is this possible!’
Plots like that.
"Did you fucking watch too many feel-good novels and get obsessed!?"
Ye Mo flicked his hand and gave Ye Xiaoxiao a knuckle rap on the head, waking her up from her fantasy.
Then he took out 10 bottles of Holy Spirit Potions from his system backpack, handed them to Ye Xiaoxiao and Meng Li respectively, and gave them instructions.
"Using potions is allowed in the top eight competition. Five bottles for each of you."
In the top eight competition, contestants were allowed to carry five bottles of potions.
And there was no restriction on the type.
Whether healing types or buff types, all were acceptable.
But the limit was five bottles.
After distributing the potions, Ye Mo refocused his gaze on the list in his hand, his brows gradually knitting together.
On the other side.
"Miss, why did you go and warn an irrelevant outsider? Doing so might offend Young Master Zhou.
Moreover, your situation is complicated right now. You should just focus wholeheartedly on the competition.
If you can't win the championship, it won't be easy to explain it to the family."
The old butler in uniform bowed to Liu Muxiao and reminded her earnestly.
"Just forging a good karma, that's all."
Liu Muxiao walked out of the hotel and got straight into a sedan.
Through the window, she glanced at the direction of the breakfast cafeteria from before, narrowed her eyes, and smiled.
"In the future... maybe there’ll be opportunities for us to cooperate."

T/N - Well, here comes trouble. I was wondering when the author would use the other classic tropes of webnovels, and now we seem to have a Young Master cliche on the way. It’s just right; this gives the author a chance to finally use Heranir.
And seriously, man, what is up with the Chinese sense of beauty? Every woman the MC has interacted with had been jade-like, and this time Liu Muxiao was described as having a waist that could be grabbed with one grip! I had to change grip to arm, or else the poor girl would end up as a stick figure. 😅
