CHAPTER 316: DON'T FLAUNT YOUR WEALTH

Yu Jiao didn't know how to kill Bo Jingmo.

That man seemed completely unkillable in the dungeons. When his physical body died, his soul would turn into a vengeful ghost. And even if his soul perished, his name wouldn't appear on the list of deceased players.

It was as if he possessed infinite revivals.

For example, in the previous dungeon where everyone was wiped out, Bo Jingmo failed the mission, yet his name still didn't appear on the death list.

Bai Shaodong turned and sat back in his executive chair, his expression pensive. "This monster... is somewhat beyond my expectations."

He glanced at Yu Jiao. "Continue with the original plan. First, we need to find Limu."

Yu Jiao nodded. "Understood."

As she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered Bo Jingmo's romantic relationship. Her expression flickered momentarily before quickly returning to normal.

Noticing Bai Shaodong was lost in thought, she concealed her emotions. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Mm, go ahead." Bai Shaodong waved his hand dismissively.

After they left, a faint light screen abruptly appeared in midair.

The familiar ranking list appeared on the screen, with Limu's name still at the top. Bai Shaodong leaned forward in his chair, staring at the name with unreadable emotions in his eyes.

"Limu..."

He slowly spoke: "Didn't you say Limu would return once Bo Jingmo is killed? But what if that monster is currently unkillable?"

The light screen flickered twice before displaying a line of text:

[Find the right person, and Bo Jingmo can be permanently eliminated.]

"You're certain that once I kill Bo Jingmo, Limu's skills within him will transfer to me?"

[I'm certain.]

Bai Shaodong stared at the text before slowly laughing, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes.

After preparing for so long, this day had finally come.

Though he didn't understand why Limu's skills existed within Bo Jingmo's body, this was nothing short of a windfall.

"Where is this right person? Who are they?" Bai Shaodong's voice carried impatience.

[They're in Peace's team.]

...

This was the first time Yu Li learned joining a team had so many complicated requirements.

Watching Xin Hao fiddling with the system interface, she crossed her arms and asked expressionlessly: "Done yet? Why's it so troublesome?"

Xin Hao waved his hand. "Almost there. Did you think joining a team was just verbal agreement? Without formalities, anyone could falsely claim affiliation. Our teams are official - once you sign with us, your system will bear the X mark so others know you're our teammate."

More contracts.

Humans spending their whole lives signing agreements.

Yu Li glanced sideways. "Don't tell me your organization has to pay system points for this too?"

Xin Hao turned to her with a complicated expression.

"We didn't before, but as more organizations emerged, now we have to pay annual fees. Can you believe it?"

"..."

She knew it. This crappy system opposed organizational growth and would sabotage it however possible.

Yu Li curled her lips disinterestedly and leaned into Bo Jingmo's embrace. Noticing Zhang Can staring at her, she lazily lifted her eyes and raised a brow.

"Something to say?"

Hearing this, Bo Jingmo paused in smoothing her hair and calmly looked toward Zhang Can, his gaze placid yet oppressive.

Under their dual attention, Zhang Can grew visibly uncomfortable, especially under the man's cold stare that felt like a sharp blade pinning him to the wall.

Though the man hadn't spoken or changed expression, the pressure was terrifying.

Especially since he'd already died once by their hands.

He stammered: "I... remember you mentioned you could see the barrage comments."

Qi Cheng'an silently marveled - the kid was so scared he'd started using honorifics.

But hearing Zhang Can's words, he grew curious too.

"You can see barrages? Is that your skill?"

Come to think of it, they still didn't know Yu Li's abilities.

Yu Li remained silent, lightly tapping her fingers against her hand.

Bo Jingmo grasped her cool fingertips, his warm palm conveying reassurance.

He slowly lifted his gaze to the others. "We only require your X team affiliation. Other matters needn't concern you so much, no?"

Qi Cheng'an forced a laugh. "Just thought it'd help future cooperation."

Bo Jingmo smirked, lowering his head to gently stroke Yu Li's hand, his touch tender but tone icy.

"That can wait until later."

"..."

You little—!

Qi Cheng'an choked, instinctively looking to Yu Li.

Only to find the woman tilting her head up, her fox-like eyes curving in clear satisfaction with the man's response.

Qi Cheng'an: "..."

Fine then.

Yu Li addressed Qi Cheng'an: "I'm not hiding anything. My skills are complicated to explain—you'll understand when the time comes."

"Is that so... haha, looking forward to it then."

Making it so mysterious. Qi Cheng'an thought—what skill could be so inexplicable? Surely not another Black Moon.

Now that would be truly unbelievable.

Xin Hao finally finished his adjustments, exhaling as he signaled Yu Li to check through her own screen.

"Done. You're officially our teammates now."

Yu Li lazily opened her screen, spotting a tiny "X" beside her name.

Xin Hao explained: "Once bound, I can check your dungeon status, whether you've died, send you items, and view your rankings."

Yu Li gave a noncommittal hum until Xin Hao added:

"There's more—I can see how many points you have."

"...What?" She froze slightly, giving Xin Hao a strange look. "You can see my points?"

How boundary-crossing was that?

Xin Hao replied matter-of-factly: "Yeah. If you die, we inherit your points. Of course, we can also use this to send you items."

Misinterpreting her expression as fear of theft, he waved dismissively. "Don't worry, I wouldn't covet a kid's meager points. Uncle's loaded."

"..."

Yu Li exchanged a meaningful glance with Bo Jingmo, who also looked surprised before amusedly caressing her cheek. "My bad, I forgot. The shop has an item to hide all your info. Buy that, sweetheart."

Yu Li always believed in an ancient saying: Don't flaunt your wealth.

Hearing Bo Jingmo's reminder, she immediately purchased the concealment item.

Xin Hao noticed their exchange, baffled. "Is that necessary?"

He'd never cared before, but Yu Li's reaction triggered his rebellious curiosity.

If she didn't want him looking, he'd look!

So before Yu Li activated the item, he quickly accessed her account.

Instantly, an overwhelming string of numbers flashed before his eyes.

The screen blacked out within seconds, but Xin Hao remained stunned.

"..."

Wait... Had he just seen... endless zeros?
