Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Three Major Delusions! (3/5)_1

Inside the Instance Dungeon.

Chen Mo received Meng Han’s inquiry but ignored it for the moment, deciding to address it later.

Currently, Yan Yingyue was astonished as she watched their kill count on the leaderboard steadily rise, while unconsciously following Chen Mo deeper into the dense forest.

After a short while, Yan Yingyue had grown accustomed to the shock and began to enjoy the thrill of their rapidly soaring stats.

"Chen Mo, our count is in the four digits now, and they haven’t even broken three digits yet!" Yan Yingyue exclaimed with a smile, seeing their kill count finally surpass one thousand.

While she was speaking, Yan Yingyue suddenly noticed two new icons next to their kill count. One represented Elites, the other, BOSSes. Both appeared almost simultaneously.

"No way! Can your Skeleton Monsters instantly kill even tenfold-enhanced Elites and BOSSes?"

Chen Mo just smiled without elaborating, continuing to wander the area.

Not long after, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have completed all your kill tasks for today! Please continue to strive for greater rewards.]

Just as The Heavenly Path’s Hint appeared, Chen Mo received a party notification.

[Team Notification: Your teammate, Yan Yingyue, has voluntarily left the party.]

"What’s wrong? Why did you suddenly leave the party?" Chen Mo, who was searching for potential hidden missions, turned his head curiously toward Yan Yingyue.

"I’ve completed my tasks for today, so I don’t need to stay in the party anymore. It might affect your tenfold reward," Yan Yingyue explained.

"It’s fine. With the farming speed of these Skeleton Monsters, I can still reach the tenfold reward even with you in the party."

Chen Mo sent her another party invitation.

Only then did Yan Yingyue accept it.

However, in the short time she had left the party, Chen Mo’s kill count had already far surpassed hers. After all, when she was in the party, Chen Mo had to split the kill count with her. Once she left, his kill count increased twice as fast, so he naturally quickly outpaced her by a significant margin.

But seeing Chen Mo with several hundred more kills, Yan Yingyue felt this was for the best. Otherwise, if they both triggered the tenfold reward and it was calculated based on her kills being counted first, Chen Mo would be at a disadvantage. She felt she was purely coasting on Chen Mo’s efforts and naturally didn’t want to snatch his hidden rewards as well.

It was unclear whether hidden missions and Special BOSSes were particularly scarce on the first day, or if there was some other reason. Chen Mo had been searching for nearly two hours but hadn’t found a single hidden mission or Special BOSS. He had already resummoned several batches of Skeleton Monsters as their duration had expired.

Everyone else in the Instance Dungeon had already become numb to Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue’s ridiculously fast kill rate. Now, when they checked the leaderboard, they automatically filtered out Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue. It was as if those two didn’t exist; they only compared their stats with ’normal’ players.

Three hours later, The Heavenly Path’s Hint sounded again for Chen Mo.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have completed tenfold your kill task for today! You have received a reward: survival time +5 days.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: As you are the first Professional to complete the tenfold kill task today, you have received an additional hidden reward.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have received the ultra-rare hidden reward: Age-Preserving Holy Fruit!]

What’s this?

Chen Mo immediately examined the information about the hidden reward.

[Age-Preserving Holy Fruit: Upon consumption, the user can choose to revert to the appearance of any youthful age. This appearance will become permanent, their features will not age, and their youthful vitality will be preserved. (Note: This does not prevent natural bodily decline or affect lifespan.)]

Eternal youth? Great! I’ll take it back for Sister Yiyi.

After reading the description of the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, Chen Mo was instantly delighted and knew who to give it to. Sister Yiyi works so hard; she’s aged from the toil. I need to help her regain her youth.

"Chen Mo, you’ve completed the tenfold kill task, right? Did you get the hidden reward?" Yan Yingyue asked, curious about what he might have received.

Chen Mo smiled and shared the attributes of the Age-Preserving Holy Fruit with her.

After reading about the fruit’s effects, Yan Yingyue’s eyes sparkled. What girl wouldn’t want to preserve her youth forever? This item could definitely fetch over a hundred million at auction.

"Eternal youth... to think such a thing exists. I wish I could get one," Yan Yingyue said, a hint of envy in her voice.

However, her words seemed to carry an unspoken meaning. The moment she said it, she regretted it, afraid Chen Mo might misunderstand and think she was hinting at something. Although she really wanted an Age-Preserving Holy Fruit, she didn’t want Chen Mo to give such a precious item to her.

However, Chen Mo was somewhat oblivious in these matters. Although he vaguely sensed her implication, he didn’t dwell on it.

He smiled and said, "I’m giving this one to Sister Yiyi. If you want one, and I happen to get another, I’ll give it to you."

To Chen Mo, such an item for eternal youth didn’t hold much personal value; he just knew girls would definitely like it. If he had known this item could be auctioned for over a hundred million, he wouldn’t have been so casually generous.

Hearing Chen Mo so casually offer her such a precious item, Yan Yingyue felt somewhat flattered and overwhelmed. She was instantly struck by one of life’s three great delusions.

Could it be... he likes me? As this thought crossed her mind, Yan Yingyue stealthily stole a glance at Chen Mo. Come to think of it, Chen Mo is quite good-looking and kind-hearted. He really is a good choice...

Chen Mo continued exploring, unaware that behind him, Yan Yingyue’s delicate face was flushed red as her thoughts ran wild.

After exploring for over an hour more, Chen Mo still hadn’t found any hidden missions. This somewhat dampened his motivation for the day. He found a smooth rock to sit on, opened the leaderboard, and checked everyone’s progress. He planned to see how Meng Han and the others were doing. If they were lagging significantly, he could go and give them a bit of a boost.

Chen Mo glanced at the leaderboard. Meng Han’s group of five were close to meeting their kill quota. Meanwhile, the group from the aristocratic families had already achieved twice the kill quota.

As expected of disciples from aristocratic families; their group is truly formidable. Among so many people, only their ten members and the twenty from the Anti-Aristocratic Alliance have achieved twice the kill quota.

Chen Mo glanced at the top forty on the leaderboard. He noticed many IDs belonging to that group he’d previously seen eyeing the aristocratic family disciples with ill intent.

While Chen Mo idly sat checking the farming data of other participants, Yan Yingyue wandered around nearby.

"Chen Mo, come quickly! Look what this is!" Suddenly, she waved to Chen Mo and called out.

Chen Mo walked over, puzzled, and saw a strange formation pattern on the grass in front of Yan Yingyue.

"A formation pattern? What does it mean?" Chen Mo immediately crouched down to examine it closely.

"There are three small figures drawn in this circle. Could it be that three people need to step here to activate this formation pattern?" Yan Yingyue speculated, pointing to the design within the formation pattern.
