Zongman: My Smart Group

Lin Mo: "Yay! I saved some money! By the way, Yukinoshita, what kind of job did you find me? Is the food provided?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Don't worry, there will be plenty!"

Lin Mo: "That's great. Actually, as long as meals are provided, the salary doesn't matter. After all, you know my appetite..."

The two chatted as they walked toward the cafeteria. Lin Mo did most of the talking, while Yukino Yukinoshita listened and occasionally chimed in. The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

Is this what friendship feels like? It feels pretty good.

Looking at Lin Mo's profile, Yukino Yukinoshita thought to herself.

Chapter 23 Yukino: Chuunibyou?

"Hahaha! Emperor Mo, we meet again!"

Just as I finished getting my food and sat down, Rikka Takanashi came over with her own food.

"bite--

Sign-in task: Transplant the Evil King's True Eye.

Mission Reward: Obtain the most powerful Evil King's Eye!

System: "Sigh~"

She didn't want to say anything more; she just let him be.

Lin Mo's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita. Sure enough, he saw a puzzled look on her face.

Lin Mo sighed and said, "I didn't expect it to be exposed after all."

Yukino Yukinoshita asked in confusion, "Exposed?"

Lin Mo laughed wildly with one hand and no eyes: "Hahaha... I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was insults and abuse. I'm laying my cards on the table. I'm not pretending anymore. I am the invincible Emperor Mo, who has suppressed all ages!"

"???"

Yukino Yukinoshita was full of question marks. When did she insult and abuse him?

Rikka Takanashi put down her plate, disregarded everyone else, and took out her umbrella, saying, "Emperor Silent Heaven, I never expected fate to arrange for us to meet again. Since that's the case, let's continue our duel from last time! I will prove to you that the Evil King's True Eye is the strongest!"

Lin Mo sneered, "Heh~ How laughable. If I hadn't held back, I would have transplanted your Evil King's True Eye long ago! The Evil King's True Eye is indeed the strongest, but unfortunately... you are not!"

Remembering her previous defeat at the speed of light, Rikka Takanashi felt a pang of panic, but feigned composure and said, "Enough talk, take this!"

This time, Rikka Takanashi learned from her previous mistake and didn't shout out those spells; she attacked directly.

Lin Mo: "Wait a minute!"

The umbrella hovered in mid-air. Takanashi Rikka asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mo: "It's lunchtime now. I can finish my meal before we start fighting."

Takanashi Rikka, feeling her hungry stomach, nodded seriously: "That's right. We're currently in a low point in our magic power, so we really need to replenish it. In that case, let's call a truce for now."

Yukino Yukinoshita silently watched the two, puzzled by their way of getting along. At first, she thought they had a grudge, since Rikka Takanashi had attacked them directly, but now it seemed that wasn't the case, and they had inexplicably stopped fighting.

This is so complicated, what exactly is their relationship?

Fortunately, the two calmed down and prepared to have a proper meal. Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although she was always the center of attention wherever she went, this was the first time she had ever experienced being the center of attention like this.

Just as Lin Mo picked up his chopsticks to eat, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he abruptly turned his head and shouted, "You're the one spying on me, aren't you! Hachiman Hikigaya!"

The onlookers immediately followed Lin Mo's gaze and saw Hachiman Hikigaya sitting in the corner, staring blankly at Lin Mo.

Hachiman Hikigaya: No, how did you even notice me? You didn't show your vision, you didn't show your footsteps, you know perfectly well whether you opened it or not!

Seeing the stares from everyone, Hachiman Hikigaya gave an awkward smile and prepared to leave immediately. But Lin Mo wouldn't let him have his way. He activated his overclocking mode, slid over, grabbed him tightly, and said with a smile, "I didn't even say hello to my older brother! Let's go eat together!"

Hachiman Hikigaya declined, saying, "Haha, I'm already full, so I won't bother you anymore."

Without waiting for a reply, Lin Mo pulled him along, saying, "How can you be full from just this little bit? Let's eat some more together."

And so, Hachiman Hikigaya was forcibly pulled over. This was the first time he had ever sat down to eat at the same table with such a beautiful girl, and he was somewhat uneasy.

Two men and two women sat facing each other.

Lin Mo: "Let me introduce you. This is my little brother, Hachiman Hikigaya. These two are my friends: Rikka Kotori, the master of the Evil Eye, and Yukino Yukinoshita, the top student in the grade."

Hachiman Hikigaya gave the two of them an awkward smile.

That introduction was so perfunctory! I don't think I even agreed to be your underling! And what's with this "Evil King's True Eye" thing? It sounds like pure chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in response to Hachiman Hikigaya.

Rikka Takanashi suddenly made a few strange hand gestures, and looking at Hachiman Hikigaya, she said smugly, "So that's it. I've seen through your disguise. You must be Hachiman the Great Bodhisattva!"

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched slightly. He had long since passed the age of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) and had thrown those embarrassing pasts into the Mariana Trench!

Hachiman Hikigaya laughed awkwardly, "I'm not Hachiman the Great Bodhisattva, I'm just an ordinary high school student."

Rikka Takanashi nodded thoughtfully: "I see. Hasn't your memory awakened yet?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "No, no, no, that's not true at all."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, but I haven't been able to understand what you're saying since just now. Is this some new way of communicating?"

Hachiman Hikigaya: "No, those two are just simple chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Second grade?"

Lin Mo slammed his hand on the table and said, "You dare call me a chuunibyou! Do you want to taste whether my fist, the Mo Heavenly Emperor, is sharp or not?"

Rikka Takanashi said regretfully, "Hachiman Daisuke, having lost your memories and powers, it's impossible for you to trust us. But don't worry, we will definitely help you find everything you once had!"

Yukino Yukinoshita was, after all, an intelligent person. She seemed to be deep in thought as she watched the conversation between the group. She had a rudimentary understanding of the term "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome), which she guessed meant role-playing like in a dance drama.

Hachiman Hikigaya shrank back in fear, after all, Lin Mo's speed was just too fast, and he hadn't even had time to react before he was next to him.

If the two really fight, the score will probably be 30/70.

Three seconds to pass the seventh day after my death.

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's done now, let's eat first."

Although they didn't understand why the topic suddenly shifted to food, they were indeed a bit hungry and began to eat quietly.

After taking only a few bites, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly realized something and looked sharply at Lin Mo. He seemed to have just said that she and he were friends, but they hadn't officially become friends yet, right? Or had she misheard?

Feeling the other person's intense gaze, Lin Mo looked up and asked, "Is there something you need?"

Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

I guess I misheard.

After finishing his meal, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly got up to say goodbye. He couldn't stand staying in this place at all. Sure enough, group activities were not suitable for him at all. He was more suited to being a bear in the forest!

Yukino Yukinoshita and Rikka Takanashi both have small appetites, and after finishing their meal, they just watched Lin Mo eat.

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flashed with amazement. Sure enough, no matter how many times she saw it, it still seemed incredibly exaggerated. How could such a small stomach hold so much food? It was just too unscientific!

Rikka Takanashi watched Lin Mo devour plate after plate of food, and her competitive spirit was aroused. She wanted to surpass him in terms of eating capacity, but after touching her own stomach, she decided against it. She really couldn't eat anymore and would have to try again next time!

But why is it always Yukino Yukinoshita who pays?

Rikka Takanashi fell into deep thought.

Chapter 24 I Want to Be a Dragon Knight!

Campus life is really just like that; after a day of joking around and playing around, it's finally time to go home.

On his way home, Lin Mo said, "System, I still have one more sign-in to do, sign in now."

"bite--

Congratulations, host, you have obtained: MC Infinite Milk (Colorful)

MC Infinite Milk (Rainbow): Clears all status effects.

System: "Wow, host, did you save countless worlds in your past life? How can you be so lucky! Another rainbow-level upgrade!"

Lin Mo laughed wildly, "Hahaha! Hahaha! This is strength! This is luck! This is true luck! Hahaha! System! Speak!"

The system, completely convinced, said, "Yes!"

Lin Mo: "Hahaha!"

Just then, Lin Mo felt his trouser leg being tugged. Looking down, he saw a little girl with white cow horns, probably cosplaying.

Lin Mo casually took out MC Infinite Milk, squatted down, and said with a smile, "Little sister, would you like some of my milk?"

The little girl looked at the milk in the bucket, nodded, and said, "I want to drink it."

Then he picked up the milk and drank it.

Lin Mo smiled and ruffled her hair. This kid was lucky; he hadn't even tasted the milk he just got. Oh well, better not let him be in a good mood today.

Gradually, Lin Mo noticed something was wrong. Why was this little girl still drinking?

Then his eyes sharpened instantly. Could it be!

She, like me, possesses the stomach of a king!

After drinking for a full minute, the little girl put down the milk and looked at it with curiosity: Strange, why can't I finish it?

Lin Mo reached out and patted his head, smiling as he said, "Little sister, my name is Lin Mo, what's your name?"

"Connor, Conna Kamui."

Suddenly, the system spoke up: "Wow, host, I never expected you to run into Connor. What incredible luck!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked at her carefully, and gradually her image overlapped with the one in his memory. He clapped his hands, his eyes shining, and excitedly said, "Connor, become my dragon maid! I want to be a dragon knight! Food and lodging included!"

Please, that's a dragon knight! Who doesn't dream of being a knight, especially one with the stomach of a king of knights! How can a dragon knight not be a knight? So I'm determined to ride this dragon!

Having the stomach of a king and being a knight, I am the rightful heir to Great Britain!

Having just transmigrated from another world, Connor was already starving. She was searching for Thor's scent in the streets, intending to ask someone for directions, when suddenly someone handed her a bucket of milk. It smelled incredibly delicious, and without thinking, Connor drank it down; after all, she was truly hungry.

Once you start drinking, you can't stop because it's so delicious! And after a few sips, you're not hungry anymore, not to mention it contains incredibly powerful energy. But strangely, even though you can feel that you've reached your limit in absorbing energy, why can't you feel any power at all?

Connor stared blankly at Lin Mo and asked, "Why can't I feel any power anymore?"

Lin Mo: "Oh, don't worry, it's just one of my abilities. All supernatural beings around me will be nullified. In other words, with me around, you're just a little girl who can be slaughtered at will. I can do it with one hand..."

At this point, Lin Mo suddenly stopped. He then remembered that he possessed a magic-suppressing domain, which would nullify all supernatural phenomena. In other words, his dream of becoming a dragon knight would never come true!

Lin Mo knelt on the ground, looking up to the sky and howling, "No—!!!"

Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling.

The system features very timely background music.

Connor was startled when he saw Lin Mo suddenly kneel down and quickly asked with concern, "Lin Mo, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

After all, this human had offered him milk, and he couldn't just ignore it.

Lin Mo said, on the verge of tears, "No, it's just that my Dao Heart is shattered."

He stood up, took back the MC Infinite Milk, turned around and said, "You should leave. It's best if you don't come back."

There was a living dragon right in front of him, but he couldn't become a dragon knight. Could there be anything more frustrating than this? It was something he could only admire from afar, not touch!

Heavens above! Earth below! Why have you done this to me!

Watching Lin Mo's desolate figure, Connor stood there, stunned. She didn't know whether she should chase after him. After all, her purpose was to find Lord Thor, but this person had helped her. She was so troubled.

Suddenly, Kanna felt her power return. She made a decision instantly: first, remember this human's scent, and then repay him properly once she found Lord Thor!

Having made up his mind, Connor immediately transformed into his true form and flew into the sky, quickly heading towards Tore.

Sensing the movement behind him, Lin Mo couldn't help but take a look. He saw a snow-white silver dragon flying in the air, so dazzling and so handsome!

Lin Mo was filled with hatred. If it weren't for that damned magic-suppressing domain, he could have become a dragon knight!

Lin Mo gave it the middle finger: "Useless system! Leave the group!"

System: "You can blame this on me too!"

Lin Mo roared, "Do you know what you made me miss? You don't! It was a dragon! A living, breathing dragon! I could have been a dragon knight! Do you know how cool it would have been to ride a dragon to and from school every day? It's all your fault, you useless system! Gone, all of it! Waaaaah~"
