CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 291: THE MOONLIGHT IS BEAUTIFUL TONIGHT_2

Matchmakers Alliance, charge!

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

Meanwhile.

In a private office within the Hongmeng Company building in Shenghai City.

Chen Meng was sitting in her chair, slender and fair fingers gently sliding over a somewhat yellowed parchment.

The parchment, old and tattered, bore records of some kind of strange ancient text. As Chen Meng’s fingertips brushed over the characters, the meanings of these ancient words slowly surfaced in her mind.

Chen Meng was deciphering and translating this ancient scroll.

This was thanks to her Spirit Master innate talent, "Time Dust," specifically its second-stage ability "Viewing the Past and Present," which could convert ancient text into modern common text.

Beside Chen Meng, a luminous unicorn brandished a pen in its mouth, shamelessly scribbling away on paper.

When Chen Meng used "Viewing the Past and Present" to decode ancient script, the unicorn, psychically linked with her, would simultaneously record the text.

"Yi~"

After translating the last character, the luminous unicorn put down the pen and sighed.

It had been the third day without savoring Chen Mo’s cooking, a memory it dearly missed!

"Yi?" (Mengmeng, are we done? I want to go play with Chen Mo~)

"Yes, this is the last one."

Chen Meng nodded.

Hearing the name "Chen Mo," her mind couldn’t help but conjure up his face.

During these three days, thoughts of Chen Mo... and his cooking had been popping up in her mind now and then.

This was causing her a bit of trouble.

Damn it, don’t tell me I’ve been captured by this man’s culinary skills?

"Clearly, he’s captured your heart as well!"

The luminous unicorn, still in a psychic link, overheard Chen Meng’s thoughts and couldn’t help but comment.

Chen Meng severed the psychic link with lightning speed and, with an "icy gaze," looked towards the luminous unicorn, saying calmly:

"Next time I mooch a meal, you’re not coming."

Luminous Unicorn: ???

The threat of "not bringing it along for a free meal" was much more lethal than doubling its training.

But the luminous unicorn quickly calmed down.

If you’re not going to take me with you for free meals, then next time I will secretly go see Chen Mo and ask him to make me a "special treat"!

Its plan was rooted in rebellion.

"Ding dong!"

Right then, Chen Mo’s phone beeped once with a message—

[Sister Meng, the moon is breathtaking tonight, and I suddenly feel a craving to have hotpot with you.]

[Hotpot photo]

The moment she saw the message, Chen Meng was stunned. A hint of crimson rose from her neck and rapidly flushed her entire face.

In an instant, she felt as though her language system had plunged into chaos, unable to think of an appropriate reply.

After regaining her composure, Chen Meng simply replied, "Where are you?"

If he was close by, maybe she could join him for the hotpot.

The next second, Chen Mo sent over the address.

[Anxin District]

Also in Shenghai City, and less than 10 kilometers away...

minutes later, the two humans and the beast sat around a hotpot table, surrounded by snow scenery outside the window, which felt quite atmospheric.

"Have you picked out the Legendary Resource that the company rewarded you with?"

Chen Meng casually started a topic.

"Not yet, I was planning to pick after the New Year."

Chen Mo replied.

At this point in time, most of the Hongmeng Company’s staff were probably on vacation.

"The company has an online ’Legendary Vault’ where you can select the Legendary Resources you want, and then someone will deliver them directly to you."

Chen Meng chuckled.

"You can choose online too?"

Chen Mo had thought it was like Bai Ze University, where you had to physically go to the vault to collect.

Big companies are indeed different!

Even Legendary Resources come with free delivery!

Guided by Chen Meng, Chen Mo, using his M1 privileges, successfully accessed the "Legendary Vault" of Hongmeng Company.

He took a quick glance.

Chen Mo found that Hongmeng Group truly was richer than Bai Ze University by a long shot; the available Legendary Resources for selection were as many as 106 items!

And they were all treasures ranging from Mythical Level 1 to Legendary Level 3.

This made Chen Mo suspect that there must be even higher-level vaults within the company.

Thinking about it, it also seems normal.

As a super company with nearly 300 years of history, the centuries of heritage are hard for the average person to imagine.

After some comparison, Chen Mo finally chose an item named the "Shadow Cloak."

"Shadow Cloak"

Grade: Legendary Level 3

Attribute: Shadow Element

Description: Made from Overlord Level Moonshadow Vine fibers, this cloak can perfectly conceal the wearer’s scent and silhouette. In addition, the cloak has the ability to gather and purify Shadow Element Spiritual Power, accelerating the growth of Shadow Element Spiritual Beasts when they wear it.

This Shadow Cloak is black on the outside and red on the inside and looks very textured. Chen Mo can already imagine how cool the End Cat would look wearing this cloak – undoubtedly stunning like no other!

"Meow!"

Seeing that Chen Mo chose Legendary Resources from the Shadow Element for it, the End Cat was momentarily stunned.

It never expected Chen Mo to select Legendary Resources for it.

After all, it hadn’t been part of the team for long, its profile was still thin, and both in terms of innate talent and effort, it lagged somewhat behind the other predecessors.

"I said I’d help you become stronger, to reach the pinnacle, and I wasn’t just talking big."

Chen Mo said with a smile, seizing the opportunity to give the cat a good rub, feeling very content.

"After the New Year, we’ll start special training!"

Now, with the Shadow Element Spiritual Power and Electric Spiritual Power already fused within the End Cat, it was time to begin its training!

Chen Mo already had some rough ideas about the End Cat’s training and cultivation schemes.

The most important thing for an "assassin-style" is naturally speed and burst.

But in terms of specific training methods, technique combinations, physical fitness training, and everyday diet, he didn’t have a clear understanding.

Having been self-studying many aspects of cultivation for half a year since crossing into this world, Chen Mo knew he still had a long way to go before he could be considered a top-notch cultivation master.

But no matter.

Now he had money, and he had connections.

Since he couldn’t become a top cultivation master in a short time, why not spend money to hire one?

Chen Mo opened WeChat.

He accessed the management group of Hongmeng Company.

After his employee rank was promoted to M1 Level, he was invited to a management group, which was full of heavyweights.

Among them was a master who specialized in Shadow Element, known as Xia Mo.

It was said that she was a woman who took the "assassin-style" to the extreme.

Xia Mo’s Spirit Master talent was Spirit Fusion, and one of her Spiritual Beasts was another evolutionary form of the End Cat – the Phantom Cat Emperor.

Xia Mo had shown the combat form of the cat woman in the arena, where, in addition to her astonishing combat power, her seductive and graceful figure also left an unforgettable impression.

Therefore, even without participating in competitions for a long time, her popularity among the Spirit Master community remained very high.

Although Sister Meng had left the world of Jianghu, the legends about her persist.

"Sister Meng, do you know our company’s master, Xia Mo?"

Upon hearing the name "Xia Mo," Chen Meng, who was calmly enjoying hotpot, instantly became alert, and her tone regained the chilliness of long ago:

"What do you want with her?"

"I am planning to devise a training schedule for Moli after the New Year, but I lack the experience in that area. So, I’m thinking of consulting Master Xia Mo on some techniques for cultivating Shadow Element Spiritual Beasts."

"Xia Mo is somewhat of a senior to me. I’ll go with you when the time comes."

Hearing that Chen Mo simply wanted to seek training advice, Chen Meng, for some reason, suddenly felt a sigh of relief and then spoke slowly.

"Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Sister Meng."

The snow outside was getting heavier, piling up a thick layer on the roads and branches.

Under the dim glow of the street lamps, a father was making a snowman with his child.

"Huh?" (Chen Mo, can we also go make snowmen?)

"Ying!" "Meow!" (I want to go too!)

Upon seeing this, several of Chen Mo’s Spiritual Beasts expressed their desire to make snowmen.

Only the little blue bird wearing sunglasses remained unruffled.

It’s just snow; it had long grown tired of it. Drawing would be better.

"Sister Meng, want to join in? It’s been a long time since I’ve made a snowman."

"Sure!"

Chen Meng didn’t refuse.

Her memories of making snowmen were still from her childhood. Since that incident, she had focused on cultivating Spiritual Beasts and exploring ruins, having rarely slowed down like she had now.

Soon, two clumsy and endearing snowmen were added to the snowscape.

And surrounding the two snowmen was a variety of "Snow Spirit Beasts."

Naturally, these were the works of the two’s Spiritual Beasts.

After finishing the snowmen, they had already started a "Snowball Fight," dividing into two camps and having a blast.

Listening to the playful sounds of the Spiritual Beasts, Chen Meng sneakily glanced at Chen Mo beside her, her lips revealing an unintended smile.

If time could stop at this moment, wouldn’t that be nice?
