Chapter 252
Chapter 252 Join the Baby Carriage!
The Ability Bureau, backed by the state, is its biggest distinction from other major powers and also its greatest advantage.
As long as you can build a good relationship with the Ability Bureau, it would be a big help for the development of the baby… the fat guy’s organization. Xia Xinyan had thought about this before but didn’t expect to run into someone from the Ability Bureau so soon.
Though technically speaking, the Ability Bureau hasn’t officially been established yet… but surely, it can’t be undone just because of the little things she did, right? It also seems unlikely that Lin Nan would lose the position he held in his previous life. Plus, even if we set the Ability Bureau aside, with Lin Nan’s own strength and character, he’s definitely worth befriending.
The problem is, how to best help them in this situation?
After thinking for a moment, Xia Xinyan simply tossed the task to Ling Mo: “Mo Mo, can you find a way to rescue them?”
After all, bringing Ling Mo along was just for moments like this.
If she had to handle everything herself, that would be too exhausting.
Ling Mo agreed without a second thought: “Okay, leave it to me.”
As long as it’s Xinyan’s task, he could tackle mountains of blades and seas of fire to get it done.
But this situation was far from mountains of blades and seas of fire—he had already come up with a plan.
Pausing for a moment, he softly said, “I will hold off this monster for a bit; you guys take them to safety first, and I’ll catch up.”
An Xiao blinked in surprise: “You’re going to act alone?”
“Yeah, I’m enough on my own.” Ling Mo nodded, his hand already summoning what he needed.
At that moment, Xia Xinyan transformed into a black cat, jumping onto his shoulder and lying down, whispering in his ear: “I’ll go with you.”
She worried that he might mess up. While it was nice not having to worry, she still needed to keep an eye on things.
Ling Mo felt warmth in his heart and nodded slightly: “Okay.”
He was very happy.
Murong Yue stared at him for a while, seeming to want to say something, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she only politely said, “Be careful; the monsters in this dungeon are very strong.”
“It’s fine, I have ways to deal with them.” As he spoke, Ling Mo had already materialized what he needed—a silver, tech-styled… rocket launcher.
An Xiao blinked: “You’re not planning to use a bomb here, are you? That would collapse this place completely! Plus, the monster won’t be killed that way; the more you blow it up, the stronger it becomes.”
“This isn’t an explosive.” Ling Mo chuckled as he explained, “It’s loaded with a massive dose of tranquilizer—enough to put an elephant down for a year.”
An Xiao: “……”
After a moment of hesitation, she still asked, “But that monster is much bigger than an elephant; are you sure one dose will subdue it?”
“If one dose doesn’t work, then two doses; if two doses don’t work, then ten thousand doses. I have plenty, and I’ll keep injecting until it can’t move.”
“……”
An Xiao’s face turned slightly red: “Well, I wish you success.”
Ling Mo, however, didn’t notice her reaction or the oddity in his words but instead hoisted the launcher and moved forward: “Get ready; once I act, you all need to take them away immediately.”
Only Xia Xinyan, lying on Ling Mo’s shoulder, silently rolled her eyes.
Actually, she used to tell quite a few dirty jokes herself; after all, guys do that.
However, based on her understanding of herself, when she started to joke in a suggestive manner in front of someone, it was either with someone she didn’t care much about or after they had gotten really familiar.
She recalled that in the past, Ling Mo always paid careful attention to his image in front of her; let alone dirty jokes, sometimes even talking to her seemed like a chore for him.
But recently, Ling Mo seemed to have become more relaxed.
In other words, he was gradually no longer placing himself in a passive and humble position, but instead was standing on equal footing with her. Under this state, the Ling Mo that emerged might truly be the real Ling Mo.
Only…
Why did she suddenly have an ominous premonition?
As she pondered this, Ling Mo had already jumped to the cavern below with the launcher, firing a tranquilizer at the exposed root of the monster’s tentacle.
The tranquilizer hit the monster immediately; the potion was injected, and the next moment, the hit tentacle suddenly fell as if it had lost strength, crashing down and smashing part of the ruins beside it.
Seeing that the attack was effective, Ling Mo immediately got energized, materializing countless tranquilizer launchers in front of him, firing them rapidly at the roots of those tentacles.
Above, the onlookers watched as the wildly thrashing tentacles began to collapse like a landslide, causing chaos all around.
Monica and the others took this opportunity to approach the bewildered Lin Nan and others, leading them to escape upwards.
Below, after successfully paralyzing the monster, Ling Mo hurriedly held Xia Xinyan and fled upwards.
However, the monster’s resistance far exceeded his expectations; so many doses of the massive tranquilizer barely lasted ten seconds before the fallen tentacles began to regain their mobility, launching a frantic attack against the only two people present in this space.
Seeing this, Ling Mo couldn’t afford to escape according to plan, diving into the nearby ruins as he searched for a way while moving upwards.
The narrow space hindered the tentacle monster’s attacks; even if it had numerous tentacles, it couldn’t use them all to chase after Ling Mo, instead beginning to destroy his escape route. However, its destruction speed was much slower than Ling Mo’s escape speed, allowing him to quickly distance himself.
But staying down here was not an option.
First, he needed to escape before considering the mission objectives.
As he led Xia Xinyan away from the underground ruins, a loud commotion continued coming from below; the monster seemed intent on destroying the entire underground space. It wouldn’t be long before it broke through the ruins and reached the surface. Once on the surface, dealing with it should be simpler.
After struggling to find a way out of the underground ruins, what Ling Mo encountered was the scene at the edge of the ruins—
The fat guy and Bai Yu had seemingly arrived at some point, gathering with Tang Chong, who had been waiting there along with Monica and Lin Nan, who followed up. At this moment, the fat guy was passionately promoting their new organization to Tang Chong—
“Great changes are about to happen in the future, and I believe everyone participating in this match must foresee this. So, have you thought about how to better survive in the upcoming changes? Trust me, bro, going solo is definitely not a good idea; a small group won’t be much help either. Those without strength should honestly find a power to rely on; that’s the best choice. Also, joining a major power, let’s not even talk about the entry barriers, newbies find it very hard to gain recognition. Thus, choosing a small force with great potential for growth is the best choice—now you have a perfect option before you: come on! Join our Baby Carriage! Our Baby Carriage will definitely grow into a force that will make any power tremble in the future, and when that time comes, you’ll be the old guards!”
Ling Mo: “……”
