The phone buzzed in his palm, the notification chimes from the QQ group annoyingly loud.
Lin Mo sprawled out on his soft sofa at home, bored to death as he swiped the screen, watching the flashing avatars in the class group chat.
Fang Jun: Any bros want to go night hiking and camping at Mount Tianyun to see the sunrise tomorrow night? If you're alive, make a sound!
As soon as the message was sent, the ones who replied in seconds were always the same few.
Hao Qiang: Playing League, don't bother me.
Jian Lihao: Climbing ranks, do not disturb.
Gao Yuanqiang: Interested, but I have plans. Going clubbing at DNA.
Right after Gao Yuanqiang spoke, another avatar immediately popped up.
Geng Xiao: Clubbing, clubbing, clubbing. One day I'll be clubbing on your grave.
The group instantly went quiet for a second.
After their breakup, Gao Yuanqiang and Geng Xiao could barely exchange half a sentence without arguing. Even the most ordinary, trivial things could ignite a war between them.
Gao Yuanqiang seemed to have his sore spot poked: What I do is none of your damn business. Mind your own.
Geng Xiao didn't reply again, probably too lazy to bother.
However, Geng Xiao was already planning to transfer to the liberal arts class. Lin Mo remembered that in his previous life, she had chosen science and stayed in Class Eight.
A tiny change was like a stone thrown into a lake; the ripples it created grew larger and larger, churning his familiar future beyond recognition.
At this moment, the awkward atmosphere in the group was broken by others.
Su Mingzhao: Want to go, but I have a dentist appointment to fix my teeth.
Cai Junhuang: Want to go, but I have classes.
Fang Jun directly threw out a question mark: The hell kind of class are you taking, Cai Junhuang? We're hiking at night. Are you going to class sleepwalking?
Cai Junhuang: Oh, didn't see that. Then I'll go, but Fang Jun, you are dead. [Beating up a kid meme].jpg
Just as Lin Mo was reading with keen interest, a private chat window popped up at the top of his phone screen.
It was Jiang Yunlu.
Lin Mo, who had just been lurking and watching the show, raised an eyebrow slightly.
Hiking to see the sunrise, are you going?
Yeah, everyone is going.
As soon as Jiang Yunlu saw this, she knew exactly who everyone referred to.
In that case, she definitely had to go too.
The next second, she switched back to the main class group chat and spoke decisively.
Jiang Yunlu: I'm going too. For camping, do we need to bring tents and stuff like that?
Fang Jun: I haven't finalized the location yet. I have two tents at home that I can bring. You can also bring your own, miss. Bring a bigger one so the girls can stay together.
At this time, someone else asked a question.
Have you decided where to go? I don't want to go anywhere too far.
Fang Jun: Somewhere close, Mount Tianyun. It's not too high, just over three hundred meters.
Mount Tianyun was considered one of the famous attractions in Yangcheng.
It indeed wasn't high, but it happened to offer a bird's-eye view of more than half of Yangcheng.
Many people in the class had already been to Mount Tianyun.
However, Fang Jun's suggestion of a night hike did make quite a few people hesitate.
Fang Jun didn't force it. He sent a message in the group: Sign up if you want to come. We are a proper hiking group.
A classmate who loved to joke immediately replied: [Funny face] Who said you weren't proper? You're exposing yourself by protesting too much, Fang Jun.
Fang Jun: Get lost!
After a burst of laughter and joking, Fang Jun said in the group: Alright, if you really want to go, let me know. I'll create a WeChat group so it's easier to share locations and announcements.
Soon, Lin Mo's WeChat was directly pulled into the group.
WeChat groups with few people allow members to be pulled in directly.
He tapped into it. There were already a few people in the group: Fang Jun himself, An Yuexin, Mai Chuwen, and two others he didn't know.
Fang Jun: @Lin Mo, Old Mo, pull them in. I'll go invite the others.
Lin Mo directly pulled Xie Yuling, Chu Miaomiao, and Jiang Yunlu in.
Jiang Yunlu: @Lin Mo, regarding the tent, I'll bring a large one. We can all use it together.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Mai Chuwen and An Yuexin were sitting inside a Saizeriya.
Actually, I wanted to ask, what exactly is the relationship between Lin Mo and those three girls now?
Mai Chuwen frowned, looking at the invitation message in the group.
I don't know, and I don't dare to ask. After all, Master Mo seems to treat them all pretty well, though I don't know why they care so much about Master Mo either.
In class, the only ones he could observe were Jiang Yunlu and Chu Miaomiao.
But based on my observations, Jiang Yunlu only has eyes for Lin Mo. Many boys from other classes find it harder than ascending to heaven just to strike up a conversation with her.
Chu Miaomiao, on the other hand, is a very introverted person. She feels like a little girl who's several years younger than us, and she's very dependent on Lin Mo.
An Yuexin tapped his fingers on the table.
As for Xie Yuling, you've probably heard of her too.
Mai Chuwen nodded. Of course she knew Xie Yuling; after all, they used to go to the same school.
You know what Xie Yuling's personality is like, yet she is willing to wait for Lin Mo after school and walk home with him.
Phew, the relationships are too complicated.
An Yuexin held Mai Chuwen's hand. It's better not to meddle in this kind of thing. After all, the vibe Lin Mo gives me is like... a God of War from a novel, you know?
At that moment, Mai Chuwen suddenly slapped his hand.
I'm warning you! Don't you dare learn from him!
An Yuexin smiled and said, From the very beginning, I've only ever liked one person.
Hearing this, Mai Chuwen blushed.
--System: What God of War, he's an Immortal, alright!--
At nine in the morning, Lin Mo left the house.
He didn't take a taxi but jogged the whole way. Even after running over a dozen kilometers, he hadn't broken a single drop of sweat.
It was that same Cabras pastry shop.
By this time, it was already open for business.
The storefront had a few more tables and chairs, and tableware had been added to the counter.
Lin Mo pushed the door and entered, but the waiter standing at the counter wasn't the one he saw last time.
However, the chef making desserts inside was still Yue Yiqing.
Lin Mo wasn't in a hurry. He walked up to the counter and ordered the Basque cheesecake and macarons he had last time.
This time he actually paid for it, since last time he gave the money, Yue Yiqing refunded it.
The waiter brought Lin Mo the two desserts.
Lin Mo first took a bite of the macaron. It was still sweet, but at least the sweetness had been reduced significantly compared to before. Strictly speaking, it was still slightly sweeter than a Snickers bar.
As for the Basque cheesecake, it was much better. At least this way, the sweetness of the cheese stood out nicely.
However, Lin Mo looked around and saw there were still no paired drinks.
Probably because the sweetness had been reduced, the need for drinks had also decreased.
After finishing the two desserts he ordered, Lin Mo walked up to the counter.
Sir, do you need anything else?
Please ask Boss Yue to come out for a moment.
Before the waiter could react, Yue Yiqing walked out.
She was holding freshly baked desserts in her hands.
She looked up and saw Lin Mo at the counter.
Lin Bei?
You've improved a lot, Boss Yue, but I still think the macarons are a bit too sweet.
Yue Yiqing didn't stand on ceremony and handed over the tray in her hands. What about this?
It was a plate of banoffee pie, exactly the kind the kid had thrown away before. Lin Mo picked it up and took a bite.
The taste had been corrected a lot. He nodded slightly.
"Not bad, but I didn't come here today to sample pastries. I came to borrow your kitchen."
"Huh?" Yue Yiqing stared at Lin Mo, completely dumbfounded.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
