The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 63: Intimidating Rank Nine Corpse King! (Two-in-One)

Upon hearing Du Zixi's friendly words, Zhao Yue naturally understood immediately.

She immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I will talk to my uncles about this matter tonight."

"I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave. I hope our two families will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." After Du Zixi finished speaking, she waved her hand to Chen Mo and left gracefully.

Seeing Du Zixi walk away, Zhao Yue walked over to Chen Mo with a smile and said, "Momo, you've brought back a good client for your sister."

Chen Mo recalled what Du Renyuan had mentioned about the internal situation of the Yellow Robe Society. It seemed that Zhao Yue didn't have much influence within the organization. He immediately said, "I don't know how the people in your organization will view this matter. If you encounter any trouble within the organization, just let me know. I can help."

"You've grown up, little brother. You know how to take care of your sister now. It's good that I didn't spoil you for nothing. Your words are enough." Zhao Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, I can handle things within the organization. I don't need to use up the favors and connections I've just accumulated so quickly."

From Zhao Yue's perspective, Chen Mo's words were obviously because he had just gained favors from Wei Lao and Du Renyuan, giving him the capital to help her.

But Chen Mo's intention was actually that if Zhao Yue needed it, he could personally help her resolve any unstable factors within the organization.

Seeing that Zhao Yue said she didn't need help, Chen Mo didn't say much. Although he usually saw this beautiful sister act in a carefree manner, he could always sense an unusual calmness from her.

This calmness made people feel very at ease by her side.

Since Zhao Yue could say that she didn't need help, Chen Mo felt that Zhao Yue must have her own considerations.

After lightly patting Chen Mo's back in joy, Zhao Yue looked at Liu Qinlan and said, "You left in a hurry yesterday. Old Master Liu wanted to thank you properly after entertaining the distinguished guests, but he found out that you had already left. He scolded Qinlan for it."

Qinlan came with a thank-you gift and also asked when you would be free. The Liu family wants to hold a banquet to express their gratitude and thank you properly."

After Zhao Yue finished speaking, Liu Qinlan immediately handed over a check with a face value of five million and said, "Chen Mo, this check is my grandfather's way of thanking you for the medical expenses. Our Liu family has encountered some problems recently. My second uncle has caused Yang Liuxin to suffer greatly. My grandfather has already reprimanded him, but there are major issues with our family's business and it will take a lot of time to repair. So we can't come up with much money, I hope you don't mind."

Chen Mo didn't care about Du Renyuan's check and accepted it without hesitation, but he pushed back Liu Qinlan's check.

It wasn't because he thought five million was too little. In his many years of life, let alone five million, even one million was an enormous sum of money that he would never consider too little.

But this time, he treated Liu Yuanzong out of friendship, and accepting money would change the nature of it.

So after pushing the check back, Chen Mo said, "Qinlan, when we went to see Old Master Liu yesterday, it was as friends, not as a doctor. So let's forget about any thank-you gifts."

Chen Mo's words touched Liu Qinlan deeply.

"But you still have to accept this money. My grandfather insisted on giving it to you. Yesterday, you were in such a weakened state after using Heavenly Origin Qi, it was obvious that the treatment process was not easy for you. I can't let you work so hard for nothing."

Recalling Chen Mo's weak and powerless appearance yesterday, Liu Qinlan felt that she couldn't take back the check, even if it meant burdening him.

"I already said that I did it out of friendship. Helping a friend, how can we talk about whether it was hard or not? If you insist on giving me this check, it means you think we haven't known each other for long enough to be considered friends, and we're still strangers."

After Chen Mo said this, Liu Qinlan couldn't continue to offer the check.

But for the affection shown by Chen Mo, she was even more grateful.

Yesterday, after Liu Yuanzong came back, he mentioned that Chen Mo had given him a longevity pill, which helped his old bones stay healthy. Liu Qinlan didn't know about this before, so her gratitude towards Chen Mo deepened.

Today, hearing Chen Mo's words of affection and loyalty, her gratitude and fondness for him grew even stronger.

Immediately, a system prompt sounded in Chen Mo's ear.

[System Prompt: The host has successfully conquered a Rank Five Demonic Being with invincible charisma, increasing its favorability towards you to 100 points. The current favorability is "beloved."

Demonic Beings are special beings with overwhelming negative energy. It is incredible that you were able to increase the favorability of a Demonic Being to 100 points. However, this Demonic Being is of a lower rank and has a shallow demonic nature, so it cannot grant you special rewards. Instead, you will receive 100,000 survival points as a reward.

In the future, if the host increases the favorability of any Rank Nine or lower Demonic Being to 100 points, they will not receive special rewards.

If the host can increase the favorability of a Rank Nine Demonic Being to 100 points, there will still be a chance to trigger special rewards.]

"To receive 100,000 survival points as a reward for maxing out the favorability of a Rank Five Demonic Being, that's really amazing!"

However, this kind of favorability reward can usually only be obtained from the first unit. According to the system's introduction, similar rewards will not be repeatedly given for subsequent units.

So Chen Mo wasn't too surprised by the extra survival points rewarded by the system.

It was quite satisfying to earn 100,000 survival points in just a few words.

"Since you say so, then alright. When are you free to tell me? I'll go back and arrange a thank-you banquet, and you can't refuse!" Liu Qinlan pursed her lips.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "If there's a big meal for me to eat, I won't refuse. I might have something tomorrow, but I'm free for lunch and dinner on Wednesday."

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to my grandfather and see when it can be arranged. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Alright." Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Zhao Yue said, "Alright, we've said everything that needs to be said. It's almost time for dinner. I originally planned to cook for two people, but since Qinlan is here, let's eat together."

Seeing Chen Mo carrying two kilograms of fruit, Zhao Yue asked, "Did you buy these fruits to give to me?"

Chen Mo immediately laughed and said, "Of course not. I bought these fruits to eat at home. You eat so well on a regular basis, and you still want to mooch off my fruits."

"You heartless person. Sister is just asking for a few pieces of fruit, and you're reluctant to give them. Go home and wait for me. I'll call you when I finish cooking." Zhao Yue poked Chen Mo and said.

"By the way, Yue Jie, cook a little more. There should be a friend at my house taking care of my puppy. Since we're cooking dinner, let's include them as well."

"Oh? Is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend?" Zhao Yue teasingly approached Chen Mo.

"Just a regular female friend. She's been going through some difficulties recently, and I want to help her. But please don't mention this later."

Upon hearing Chen Mo's words, Zhao Yue's expression became more serious: "Alright, I'll cook more then. It doesn't matter if there are more people, it'll be livelier."

Zhao Yue didn't pay much attention to Chen Mo's female friend coming over, but Liu Qinlan couldn't help but glance at Chen Mo's house.

"What are you looking at, little girl? Afraid someone will steal your boyfriend?" Zhao Yue teased Liu Qinlan on purpose.

"What are you talking about, Yue Jie? It was all pretend before. It's all over now, where would I have a boyfriend?" Liu Qinlan blushed and said.

"Our Mo Mo is quite attractive. I think you want to make it real." Zhao Yue laughed.

"But it depends on whether the other person is willing." Liu Qinlan blushed and said.

"That's easy, let big sister ask for you." Zhao Yue said with a smile.

"Forget it, sometimes it's better not to know the answer." Liu Qinlan refused and immediately said, "Let's not talk about this, let's start cooking. I'm hungry."

After saying that, she pulled Zhao Yue and ran into the house, not giving her a chance to continue talking.

Zhao Yue smiled and didn't tease Liu Qinlan anymore.

Even if Chen Mo wasn't her real brother, even if he was, Zhao Yue wouldn't interfere in his love life. So what Liu Qinlan said might be true. Sometimes it's better not to know the answer, after all, they still don't know what Chen Mo thinks, and there might still be some attachment.

Just now, he was even walking home with Du Zixi, a beautiful woman.

In terms of appearance, figure, family background, and temperament, Du Zixi was not inferior to Liu Qinlan at all, and even surpassed her in terms of family background and temperament.

In Zhao Yue's opinion, if Du Zixi wanted to compete, Liu Qinlan's chances of winning were not high.

Regarding this, Zhao Yue couldn't interfere too much.

When Zhao Yue brought Liu Qinlan home to cook, Chen Mo had already brought two kilograms of fruit and was rushing home.

At this time, the two girls in the house had been relatively silent for quite some time.

If it weren't for Xiao Huang, who was playing between the two of them, occasionally making them laugh with the dog, the atmosphere in the room would have become awkward.

As soon as they reached the door, Chen Mo's keen sense of smell detected that something was off in the room.

There were three different scents in the room.

"Besides Xiao Huang and Xiao Yue, there's also Xiao Ru?"

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised. Why did Xiao Ru have time to come over today?

He immediately opened the door and walked in.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the two girls who were sitting relatively close to each other in the room immediately stood up and looked towards the door.

"Brother Mo, you're back." Seeing Chen Mo return, Lin Xinru immediately rushed over and hugged Chen Mo's neck with joy.

[System Prompt: Warning, warning! Rank Nine Corpse King detected launching an attack on you, please take immediate evasive action!]

[System Prompt: Warning! Rank Nine Corpse King has grabbed you by the neck, please break free immediately. Be careful not to be bitten or scratched by the opponent, otherwise you will be immediately infected with corpse poison and assimilated into a Corpse Monster.]

Listening to the system's warning, Chen Mo was speechless and immediately muted the system.

Seeing how close Lin Xinru was to Chen Mo, Mu Xiyue felt a mix of envy and confusion. However, she still didn't know the exact relationship between Chen Mo and Lin Xinru. After all, Lin Xinru called Chen Mo "brother" and they had briefly communicated before. Lin Xinru was a year younger than her, making her a junior.

In Mu Xiyue's eyes, Lin Xinru might just be Chen Mo's cousin or something.

She also wished she could have a relationship like Chen Mo and Lin Xinru, but the reality was that she could only stand there, clutching her clothes, and force a smile as she said, "Chen Mo, you're back."

"Yeah, thanks for your hard work, Xiao Yue. I brought some fruits back for you," Chen Mo said, looking at Lin Xinru. "Xiao Ru, why did you have time to come over today?"

"If I didn't come, I wouldn't have seen the beautiful senior sister that you're hiding in your golden house," Lin Xinru said with a smile, looking at Mu Xiyue.

"What golden house? Xiao Yue is my friend. I recently bought a puppy that no one can take care of, so I asked her to help me take care of it for the afternoon. Don't talk nonsense in front of her," Chen Mo said, nodding obediently to Zhao Yue but playfully patting Lin Xinru's butt to prevent her from speaking nonsense.

After putting the fruits on the table, Chen Mo immediately smiled and said, "These fruits have already been washed. You can eat them directly. They are quite rare and valuable fruits that you don't often see."

Chen Mo called the two of them to sit down and eat the fruits.

At the same time, he glanced at the system prompts.

[System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully completing Daily Task (Four) and bringing back an extra pound of fruits. You have exceeded the requirements of the daily task, and the rewards will be doubled.

You have earned 2000 survival points and two daily gift packs.]

[System Prompt: Detected the host's formidable power, easily breaking free from the attack of the Rank Nine Corpse King and driving it away with a single strike. The host's Transcendent performance in intimidating the Rank Nine Corpse King is commendable, and as a reward, the host will receive 5000 survival points and an A-level gift pack.]

"Just a pat on the butt counts as intimidation? You're quite something. But when I intimidated the Rank Nine Tree Emperor before and it didn't move, I received an SSS-level reward. So, shouldn't intimidating the Rank Nine Corpse King also deserve an S-level reward?" Lin Xinru said.

[System Prompt: The Rank Nine Tree Emperor was evaluated based on its half-step Rank Ten strength, and it was the host's first time using low-level cultivation to intimidate a powerful being, so an exception was made to reward an SSS-level gift pack.

This time, the host only faced the Rank Nine Corpse King, and it was not the first time for such an exceptional behavior, so the reward is only 5000 survival points and an A-level gift pack.]

"It seems like you have a clear distinction," Chen Mo said, realizing that the system was meticulous when it came to calculations.

Usually, when giving rewards, it would sometimes be more casual due to unexpected reasons.

As Chen Mo sat down and continued to check the system prompts, Xiao Huang had already jumped onto his legs and affectionately rubbed against him.
