"It's almost done." Lin Mo looked at the 1,000 or so Goblin Bones in his backpack with satisfaction. Before choosing the option to leave the dungeon, he changed his equipment into casual clothes.
As a sense of weightlessness came over him, he heard an earth-shattering argument.
"He's really awesome, isn't he? This guy will definitely be our Northern City's top scorer this year!"
"Who knows him? I want an autograph and a photo!"
"Don't push me, I want to see who this powerful person is!"
"..."
The intense scene in front of him made Lin Mo a little confused. Then, he remembered that when the dungeon score was out, it would be calculated. Therefore, his results were already displayed on the screen beside the entrance of the instance dungeon.
Looking at the noisy crowd around the dungeon, Lin Mo was at a loss. He didn't want to expose it because of this and invite trouble.
The competitive relationship between professionals was not too exaggerated, but once the so-called genius professionals appeared, it was easy to attract jealousy and cause trouble. Over the years, there had been no less than ten outstanding professionals in the Dragon Country who had been killed by other countries.
Lin Mo had only just started to understand this. However, he had to be careful.
At this moment, a team appeared behind Lin Mo. They looked confused, clearly not understanding the situation.
"What are these people doing?"
"I don't know."
"Are they cheering for us?" Ma Li, a brawny man who looked a little smart, laughed and said, "Our score is also quite good!"
"Indeed!"
A few of them were instantly filled with confidence.
Lin Mo recognized them as students from the same school. Moreover, they were also slightly famous in the school. Among them, Ma Li was a warrior who had awakened a gold-tier talent.
"Hey, isn't this that unlucky Lin Mo?" When Ma Li saw Lin Mo, he went forward and asked with a smile, "Why are you alone? Don't you have any teammates?"
The other team members looked at him with disdain and ridicule.
"How pitiful. After awakening a Black Iron Rank talent, you can't even find a team now. If you say something nice, we might be able to bring you in."
"That's right. We're all classmates. You're welcome."
A few of them spoke with a hint of mockery, and Lin Mo was quite helpless about the specific reason. In the Second Middle School, Lin Mo, who was in the same year as him, was a top student. He was always at the top in the exams.
As a result, he was also remembered by the people in class one and inexplicably treated as an opponent. Now they have finally embarked on the path of professionals, and due to Lin Mo's black iron-level talent, they finally managed to catch up with a breath of fresh air.
"No need. Congratulations on your good results. If you don't mind, how about taking a group photo?" Lin Mo smiled.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Lin Mo to be so ambitious. As the saying went: "Never strike a smiling face", no one objected.
Lin Mo took out his phone and took a photo with Ma Li. This scene was undoubtedly noticed by the people outside the arena, and they immediately reacted.
"Is that Lin Mo?"
"That's possible. Otherwise, why would they start taking photos for no reason?"
"Lin Mo is Northern City's top scorer this year. It'd be great if we could get a photo together!"
"Shall we go together?"
"Let's go quickly. We won't be able to seize the opportunity later!"
"..."
Soon, a group of people rushed toward the dungeon entrance.
After taking the photo, Lin Mo put away his phone and said to Ma Li, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me."
Ma Li scratched his head and laughed loudly. "In the future, if you're bullied, just shout my name. Who knows, I might even be able to save your life."
However, Lin Mo slipped away quietly after he finished speaking because he could already see the dense crowd pouring in. It wouldn't be long before he was surrounded.
Ma Li was caught off guard by such a loud scene. He naively thought that everyone was cheering for him.
"Don't worry, everyone!" Ma Li barely managed to stand in the crowd while signing autographs and taking photos. The other teammates were dumbfounded.
"We're all from the same team. Why is he so popular?" The mages in the team were quite dissatisfied. The others couldn't figure out the situation either. They kept feeling that something was wrong.
Soon, someone shouted with an autograph," F * ck, this guy isn't Lin Mo. Brothers, we've been tricked! "
Hearing this, everyone dispersed.
Ma Li, who had stayed where he was, felt extremely awkward.
"What's going on? Are they here for Lin Mo?"
The others shook their heads, looking at him with a confused expressions.
Until a few students from the same school arrived, "Have you seen Lin Mo?"
They were Lin Mo's classmates. When they found out about Lin Mo's results, they were as incredulous as Ma Li and the others. However, after they reacted, they rushed over without stopping and tried to cozy up to her.
After all, Lin Mo didn't have a team yet. If he could rope them in, he wouldn't have to worry about the college entrance examination this year!
However, Lin Mo had not gone far. He was selling goblin bones at a stall.
"That many?" The stall owner looked at the pile of goblin bones and smiled.
"There are only two sets left. There are still nine more sets. Give me a suitable price."
"I'll take all three hundred gold coins!"
"The price of this bone isn't that low."
"Fine, you know your stuff. Then I'll reluctantly accept 500 gold coins."
"600 gold coins. If it's any less, I'll have to go to the black market in the city."
"Alright, alright." The stall owner helplessly took out a gray card with the remaining 600 gold coins.
Money on the hand, goods on the hand. With so many goblin bones, Lin Mo could sell them for more than 800 gold coins in the black market. However, the efficiency was too low, and it usually took up space in the backpack.
After completing the transaction, Lin Mo turned around and prepared to take the bus back to Northern City to register his results.
There was a record of clearing an instance dungeon. Now, Lin Mo only needed to set the SSS-rank score that he had just obtained as his college entrance examination score. Then, he could complete the procedures and wait for the arrival of the student recruitment meeting.
However, before he could take a few steps, a few familiar classmates rushed over. Along with them was the team from Class One.
Ma Li and the others did not believe it when they heard that Lin Mo's dungeon score was SSS. "You said Lin Mo's score is SSS?" "Then I'm SSSS-level!" Ma Li said disdainfully.
The students of Class Five were helpless. They really wanted to retort, but coincidentally, the screen displaying the dungeon rankings had malfunctioned and was in the midst of emergency repairs.
This wasn't a rare thing. Every year at this time, the ranking system would be overcrowded.
When they found Lin Mo, they immediately surrounded him with joy.
"Brother Lin, how did you get an SSS-rank score in a solo dungeon?!"
"I usually feel that your basic skills are solid in class. It's not too late for me to learn from you now, right?"
"..."
Everyone's words made Lin Mo laugh.
