Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start-Chapter 135 - 130 Void Pearl! (4/5)_1

If he had revealed himself too soon, Chen Mo could imagine it would have been akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest. A horde of Assassins would swarm in relentlessly, regardless of the cost! Even with his various means at his disposal now, Chen Mo dared not imagine his survival odds in such a scenario.

As they left the Academy Alliance with their teachers, Shen Rulong turned to Chen Mo and said, "Chen Mo, the rewards haven’t been officially given out yet. However, I’m awarding you an extra eternal gold coin in advance so you can prepare additional means before the college entrance examination! You now have a total of 1.2 billion, so make sure to utilize it well!"

Having said that, Shen Rulong gave Chen Mo an eternal gold coin.

"Thank you, Principal." Chen Mo grinned as he received it.

This was truly a windfall. He was naturally happy to receive additional gains that he had not considered before.

"Principal, this sudden gift of a hundred million leaves those of us who were prepared to give a little something in an awkward position, doesn’t it?" Su Tianxin looked at the Principal, speechless. She had intended to reward her outstanding student, but now she felt she had nothing suitable to offer.

Chen Mo chuckled and said, "You don’t have to, Teacher. Your previous care and guidance are the best rewards."

"Such a smooth-talker, aren’t you?" Su Tianxin smiled and pinched Chen Mo’s face. "When we get back, I’ll treat you three little ones to a feast. Unfortunately, Yingyue is being targeted by Aliens and currently cannot easily go out."

Hearing this, Chen Mo indeed felt a bit guilty. The Aliens had stopped paying attention to him, but they had targeted Yan Yingyue instead. Hadn’t he indirectly harmed her in the process?

Chen Mo simply assumed that Yan Yingyue, who had not been originally singled out, was now targeted because of him. Little did he know that the moment he triggered the sound of the great path, all the four-star and five-star professionals who had recently awakened had been added to the assassination list. Even without his and Yan Yingyue’s amazing performances this time, she would have been on the must-kill list.

On the contrary, their outstanding performances led someone among the Aliens to propose an early assassination plan. This allowed Yan Yingyue to receive priority protection now. Otherwise, once a full-scale assassination broke out, it was uncertain if she would have survived.

Although global leaders had secretly been arranging contingency plans, as the old saying goes, while you can be a thief for a thousand days, you cannot be on guard against a thief for a thousand days. If the opponent is determined to assassinate, you can never truly guarantee foolproof protection.

The only way was to prevent Aliens from entering Earth. However, given the current situation, this was temporarily unachievable. But the higher-ups were already working on it.

The main issue was that there were too few life-supporting planets in the Solar System, putting it at a natural disadvantage. The Yongming Star System has three life-bearing planets. Even if all the people from Earth moved there, they wouldn’t be enough to populate one planet, let alone stir trouble on their three planets. They could keep sending people over to wreak havoc, but Earth could barely manage its own affairs, let alone deploy forces to the Yongming Star System to cause destruction. Such meaningless retaliation would be a waste of time.

At present, the Solar System was utterly helpless, unable to retaliate. However, everyone was trying to expedite plans to prevent the Yongming Star System from invading. Although there wasn’t a foolproof plan yet, some measures had taken effect. At the very least, the frequency of invasions from the Yongming Star System had decreased. This made them less arrogant than before. After all, the rate at which inhabitants of the Yongming Star System were being expelled from Earth was now faster than the rate at which they arrived. Naturally, they had to be more careful in their actions.

If not for the eruption of such an astonishing sound of the great path, the Yongming Star System would not have initiated such a desperate plan. A Level 5 professional challenging an SSS-level assessment was a feat the entire Yongming Star System had never witnessed. How could they not be alarmed!? The appearance of the first sound of the great path was enough to drive them to madness, let alone two more instances occurring within a single day.

Even if their frequency of entry had only decreased, or even if they could no longer enter at all, the remaining Aliens would still conduct a full-scale assassination! No matter how low the success rate! Such a boundless threat—how could they let it remain!?

Upon returning to Seaside Town, Su Tianxin immediately invited everyone to the Delicacy Tavern, the best in town, for a meal. The owner of the tavern was an auntie who had awakened as a four-star Chef, and the food she cooked was by no means inferior to that obtained from food-themed instances. Of course, she was not the only chef in the tavern. Dining prices varied depending on the chefs’ levels. If one specifically requested this God Chef auntie to prepare the meal, a table of dishes would likely cost no less than an eternal silver coin. Su Tianxin had indeed incurred a large expense this time.

After enjoying a sumptuous feast, Chen Mo, Shen Bingbing, and the others received further guidance from their teachers. The advice focused mainly on how they should prepare over the next three days. Since it was a level-balanced instance, the levels of professionals entering it would be forcibly balanced to Level 10. All gear and skills above Level 10 would be disabled. Only gear and skills of Level 10 and below, as well as those without level limitations, could be freely used. All of Chen Mo’s current means were within the restrictions, so it wouldn’t pose much of a problem for him.

After bidding his teachers and classmates farewell, Chen Mo returned home alone. Thirty days had passed in the instance, and ten days had passed in the real world. Returning to his empty home, he noticed dust had settled in many places. Chen Mo spent half a day cleaning up. After taking a bath, he sat on his bed, feeling refreshed, and opened his backpack to take out the two Gift Packs he had obtained from the instance.

Two more Gift Packs. I wonder what good things these will bring me this time.

Having opened Gift Packs before, Chen Mo was quite adept at it now. He directly chose to bind and open them.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully opened the SS-level Gift Pack. Congratulations on obtaining the bound item ’Void Pearl • Legendary’!]

[Void Pearl • Legendary]: Consumes 1 Energy point to activate. Upon activation, you can freely enter and exit the Void Realm. It has 10/10 Energy. Energy recovers at 1 point per hour. (Effect can be activated while in the backpack)

Oh? Isn’t this somewhat similar to Jiang Jie’s ability? But it seems even more convenient than his skill. As long as it’s fully charged, its 10 Energy points allow me to enter and exit the Void Realm 10 times without a Cooldown. That’s enough.

Jiang Jie possessed such an ability due to his class Skill, while Chen Mo needed an item to achieve it. This artifact is actually a great item for both offense and defense. You can hide from most attacks that do not affect the Void Realm once you enter it. And against enemies who can’t detect the Void Realm, you can even launch a sneak attack from within. It is quite useful.

If this pearl wasn’t bound, I’d really like to give it to Sister Yiyi. This artifact doesn’t provide me with a significant boost, but if Sister Yiyi has it, she can enter the Void Realm directly when she’s in danger, significantly ensuring her own safety.
