Chapter 331: Chapter 207 - Satisfied Smile! (Three-in-One, 5/5)_2
"First question, how did you pass the fiftieth floor?"
"Through summons."
"Summons?"
As he spoke, Chen Mo suddenly summoned a creature.
It was a fox, snow-white with nine tails, looking incredibly soft and cute.
"Such a powerful Monster Undead! How did you acquire it?" The three Alliance Hierarchs were quite surprised after seeing the attributes of the Nine-tailed White Fox.
"I went to some lengths to obtain it. As for the rest, I’m sorry, but it’s not convenient to disclose more."
Chen Mo lied about the first question and directly concealed information regarding the second.
He had long ago decided what he would show and tell his own people.
The Nine-tailed White Fox hadn’t inherited any characteristics of the Skeleton Monster, so it only displayed its original abilities.
The Skeleton Monster’s various characteristics, however, could easily raise many questions.
This was primarily because summoning skeleton monsters is something any normal Skeleton Mage could do. If he possessed the ability to add characteristics to the Skeleton Monster, the three Alliance Hierarchs would definitely want to know about it.
If this capability became widely known, the Skeleton Mage profession wouldn’t remain a simple two-star one. It would be directly elevated to a powerful profession, comparable to those at the five-stars level.
To prevent them from probing relentlessly about the Skeleton Monster’s characteristics, Chen Mo chose not to reveal anything about it.
Revealing the Nine-tailed White Fox posed no such problem.
The three Alliance Hierarchs likely knew that obtaining such a creature, clearly a BOSS-grade Ghost, involved methods not easily replicated by others.
"Since you don’t wish to say, we won’t press further. Another question: why did you make those remarks after leaving the dungeon?"
"Do you mean my provocation of the Aliens?"
"Yes. Aren’t you afraid of death? I’m very curious why you dared to say such things in public."
"Since I dared to say it, I naturally have something to rely on," Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Oh?"
The three Alliance Hierarchs exchanged glances, their interest in Chen Mo growing.
"This reliance... can it also not be disclosed?"
"Isn’t a life-saving ability that no one knows about the most dependable one?" Chen Mo replied with a calm expression.
"Interesting. Alright, I won’t ask about this anymore. Now, after you made those statements, were you hoping we would assign experts to protect you secretly, or do you have your own arrangements?"
This was a crucial question.
Even if this student was very confident, sometimes arrogance begins with confidence.
They, as General Leaders of the Academy Alliance, naturally could not allow the students under their command to come to harm due to arrogance.
"If you were to assign people to follow me secretly, I’m afraid those I provoked would notice.
As for myself, I don’t believe it’s necessary to trouble the alliance for protection. However, I do hope the alliance can look after my family for the time being.
I plan to buy a house near the Academy Alliance Headquarters soon. Once I’ve bought it and they’ve moved in, there will be no need to further trouble the alliance."
"A new house or an old one?"
"A new one."
"A new house would likely cost around 200 billion. Do you have that much money?"
"It’s manageable. I happened to earn that much just the other day."
As soon as he said this, the pupils of the three Alliance Hierarchs instantly constricted. They all stood up abruptly, their eyes fixed intently on Chen Mo.
Because Chen Mo’s statement revealed a very crucial piece of information. It was practically a direct admission.
Jiang Yun looked at Chen Mo, suppressed his excitement, and asked, "Can you tell us specifically which day it was?"
Chen Mo smiled. "It was on the day the Milky Way event appeared."
"As expected!"
The three Alliance Hierarchs exchanged glances, all somewhat incredulous.
"Did you place a bet?"
"I did."
"And you won 200 eternal gold coins?"
"I did."
Having asked this far, the three Alliance Hierarchs fell silent.
What more needed to be said?
The maximum bet allowed in the Milky Way event was one’s Personal Level in eternal gold coins. Chen Mo placed a bet and won 200.
So, what was his Level on that day? Wasn’t it Level 20?
"So you participated in the competition?"
The three Alliance Hierarchs wore expressions of disbelief.
Chen Mo smiled and nodded.
"Young man, this isn’t something you can claim lightly," Jiang Yun said, his expression turning serious.
This matter was very crucial.
"Of course, I wouldn’t. Besides, if I were making false claims, I would certainly be asking the alliance for something in return. However, I am not asking the alliance to do anything for me at this time, aside from requesting that they help look after my family. Whether it’s housing or future development needs, I can handle them myself. There’s no need to trouble the alliance."
Upon hearing this, the three Alliance Hierarchs found Chen Mo’s words quite reasonable.
Indeed, as he said, if he were making a false claim, wouldn’t he seize the opportunity to demand more benefits? He had even actively and clearly declined further assistance from the alliance.
But there was one key issue—the mismatch in profession star level.
"The participant was five-stars, but you are a two-star profession. That doesn’t quite add up, Student Chen Mo."
"This is a rather long story. I wonder if the three of you are aware that the star level of an initial profession can actually be changed?"
"What!?"
Even for the three highly experienced Academy Alliance Leaders, Chen Mo’s words were utterly astonishing!
Because they had never heard of such a thing before.
"Is this true?"
"It is." Seeing the eager gazes of the three Alliance Hierarchs, Chen Mo quickly added, "Unfortunately, it’s not a universal method. It cannot be replicated."
